Chapter 1244: The City Lord Snatching His Son (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

It was not impossible for Xiahou Qing to take off a person’s mask.

Ling Yun’s face was exposed to Xiahou Qing.

This was a face that was extremely similar to Yun Xi’s. At the same time, it inherited the nose and eyebrows of another person.

An endless sense of familiarity assaulted him. Xiahou Qing’s heart tightened as if it was being held tightly by an invisible hand.

He stared at Ling Yun without blinking. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out of his throat.

Ling Yun snatched the mask from his hand and turned to put it back on his face before walking out.

Xiahou Qing came back to his senses and grabbed Ling Yun’s wrist without a word.

Ling Yun shouted in a low voice, “Let go!”

Xiahou Qing did not let go.

“Who is causing trouble in my Hundred Flowers Palace?”

Accompanied by a domineering and cold voice, the Palace Lord flew over. Her purple dress unfolded in midair like a blooming purple lotus.

She slashed at Xiahou Qing!

Xiahou Qing raised his left hand to meet her palm, but he still did not let go of Ling Yun.

“You’re hurting me!”

Ling Yun said angrily.

Xiahou Qing hurriedly let go.

The Palace Lord landed steadily and pulled Ling Yun behind him. He looked at Xiahou Qing warily and said, “So it’s the City Lord. Why did the City Lord disregard your son’s one-month-old banquet and come to my Hundred Flowers Palace?”

And it was the Azure Cloud Palace!

The Palace Lord didn’t forget what she had just seen. She turned around and looked at him. “Are you injured?”

“No.”

Ling Yun said.

The Palace Lord instructed, “Go to the Flying Cloud… to your father.”

Wei Xu lived in the Flying Cloud Palace, but her bedroom was the Towering Palace. She almost exposed herself.

Ling Yun walked out.

“Wait!”

Xiahou Qing stopped him. “Don’t leave yet. I have something to ask you!”

The Palace Lord took a step to the side and blocked Xiahou Qing’s vision. “City Lord, just come at me if you have anything to say. Why make things difficult for a junior?”

Xiahou Qing said solemnly, “I’m not making things difficult for him. It’s just that there are some things I have to figure out!”

The Palace Lord said calmly, “Then tell me.”

Xiahou Qing looked past the Palace Lord at Ling Yun. “He stays too! This is the City Lord’s order.”

It would have been fine if he hadn’t said so.

With that, Ling Yun left without looking back.

Xiahou Qing was speechless.

The Palace Lord almost dropped her cover.

The young brat made it very difficult for her to act!

The Palace Lord coughed lightly and said, “He has stayed in the Hundred Flowers Palace since he was young and rarely interacts with outsiders. City Lord, please forgive him.”

Xiahou Qing stared straight into her eyes. “Is he not interacting with outsiders, or are you not allowing him to interact with others?”

The Palace Lord asked, “What do you mean?”

Xiahou Qing said, “Whose son is he?”

The Palace Lord said, “Mine! Needless to say?”

“Is that so?” Xiahou Qing asked suspiciously, “But why did someone tell me that Yun Xi gave birth to a son for me back then and that the child is still alive?”

The Palace Lord’s heart skipped a beat as she asked without changing her expression, “Who is spouting nonsense? You injured my sister when she was three months pregnant for a Ji Wanru. My sister had a miscarriage that night and died not long after. Isn’t the City Lord aware of this?”

At the mention of Yun Xi’s injury, Xiahou Qing immediately lost his confidence.

The Palace Lord struck while the iron was hot. “The City Lord came to the Hundred Flowers Palace because of a rumor. You even suspected that your child with my sister is Yun Lin?”

Xiahou Qing did not suspect Ling Yun at first.

However, on the way back to send Xiahou Yanyu off, Ling Yun’s thin back view with stiff legs lingered in his mind.

He was abnormally frustrated.

For the first time, he resisted returning to the City Lord Manor.

Finally, he alighted from the carriage and arrived at the Hundred Flowers Palace.

He knew that Yun Shuang did not welcome him. He just wanted to confirm how the child was, so he infiltrated the Azure Cloud Palace.

Azure Cloud Palace was the residence of the Young Palace Lord. As the City Lord, he knew this information.

As soon as he entered, he was discovered by the puppet.

After the two of them exchanged two moves, the puppet couldn’t defeat him and stopped.

Then, he saw Yun Xi’s portrait in the house.

Yun Shuang said coldly, “Yun Lin is a child I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. It has nothing to do with the City Lord. If there’s nothing else, please leave! My sister’s spirit in heaven doesn’t want to see the City Lord step into the Hundred Flowers Palace!”

Xiahou Qing caught the flaw in her words. “Why is it your sister’s spirit in heaven and not the spirits of your sister and that child in heaven?”

When you should be smart, you would be stupid. When you should be stupid, you would be smart…
