His Majesty Ling Lai did not use ordinary methods to appease Shang Yao. She also understood very well that Shang Jingtian's death was heavy and complicated for Shang Yao.
So His Majesty Ling Lai directly prescribed a strong dose of medicine. Let Shang Yao recognize the reality. Her so-called sadness comes from her heart and from the outside world. Now that the deal is done, the only thing she can do is to accept it all and treat it with a normal heart.
Otherwise, there will only be endless soul torture, and it will not help.
Shang Yao picked up the tea cup again, took a sip slowly and said, "I used to think you were cruel and cold-blooded. Now it seems that you and I are the same kind of people."
After saying that, Shang Yao raised his eyes and looked at His Majesty Ling Lai: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I just said what was in my heart."
"It doesn't matter." His Majesty Ling Lai shook his head lightly. "I am indeed a cruel woman. This is an indisputable fact."
"I will return to China in a few days." Shang Yao pursed her lips and said. "Anyway, I am his only daughter and I should prepare his funeral arrangements."
"If you really feel uncomfortable, just think that he is here to kill you. If it was you who died, how sad would he be?" His Majesty Ling Lai pursed his lips and said.
Shang Yao shook his head and said: "Maybe he won't be sad at all. But there may be a little bit of sadness."
"It doesn't matter anymore." His Majesty Ling Lai said slowly, and suddenly, she changed the topic again. "But I hope you can correct your attitude. Especially when it comes to Boss Xiao."
Shang Yao opened his mouth, but was speechless.
He did resist this somewhat. Especially—his father was killed by Xiao Zheng himself. This is difficult for any woman who is a daughter to accept.
But her question seemed so contradictory.
Xiao Zheng killed her father just to save her. What could she blame Xiao Zheng for
You know, Xiao Zheng was very helpful to her.
"Life is so complicated." Shang Yao said bitterly. "Your savior turned out to be your father-killing enemy."
His Majesty Ling Lai raised his eyebrows and said: "Boss Xiao just relieved your life-threatening situation, that's the point. As for who he killed, others can accurately judge, but you can't."
Shang Yao nodded and sighed softly: "I know I have no qualifications to blame Boss Xiao. But I-"
"The only thing you can be hypocritical about is that you didn't beg Boss Xiao to save you. Right?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked. "But what I want to tell you is, never touch Boss Xiao at this moment. He knew that it was your father who he killed with his own hands. Any abnormal reaction on your part may hurt him. You may even become estranged from him. "
"From a certain perspective, he feels guilty towards you." His Majesty Ling Lai said slowly.
Shang Yao sighed softly and said, "I understand."
…
A night of silence.
Because Xiao Zheng was seriously injured and killed Shang Jingtian, he was able to clear up the complex situation in Forty-Nine City. The Yan and Shang families will join forces from now on, with Shang Yao at the helm. This is great news for the Rebel Alliance.
Of course, Xiao Zheng's personal visit to Tokyo to assassinate Shang Jingtian was not completely without such considerations. In this regard, the person who probably knows him best is His Majesty Ling Lai.
That's why she told Shang Yao not to touch certain sensitive areas. If you talk too much, you may really become estranged from Xiao Zheng.
In their position, who would do something purely without any consideration of interests? Even if His Majesty Ling Lai protects Shang Yao, is there nothing in return
Shang Yao would even offer to repay His Majesty Ling Lai.
But precisely because of the complicated relationship between Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao, they were unable to discuss and measure it based on pure interests.
Pure profit? no.
Are you as innocent as Lao Lin? Neither.
The more complex the relationship, the more troublesome it is to deal with. During the days when Xiao was recuperating in the palace, he also received a lot of discussions about Shang Jingtian from China.
I learned that Shang Jingtian died suddenly overseas. Many people can't believe it, but regardless of whether this is a conspiracy or a normal death, more people firmly believe that once Shang Yao returns to China, he will take over the Yan and Shang families.
And once Shang Yao comes to power, who will become the biggest vested interest
Xiao Zheng!
Who doesn't know that Shang Yao would rather turn against his father, Shang Jingtian, for Xiao Zheng
So, a conspiracy theory spread.
Shang Jingtian's death was caused by Xiao Zheng. The reason is that Xiao Zheng wanted to achieve an ulterior purpose.
Regarding this, Xiao Zheng just said with a smile: "If this goal can be achieved, I don't mind taking the blame. Of course - this is not a scapegoat. I was indeed the one who killed the person."
His Majesty Ling Lai took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "With Boss Xiao's connections in China, I believe there is no need for me to explain. That would seem artificial."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, the more you explain this kind of thing, the more complicated it becomes."
His Majesty Ling Lai nodded, and then said tentatively: "I have arranged your tickets. We are in the same seat."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his movement of drinking tea was slightly stagnant. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that good?"
"Is Boss Xiao afraid of embarrassment?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked.
"I don't care." Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "I just don't think Miss Shang is good enough to face me."
"My old classmate is not as fragile as you think." His Majesty Ling Lai said with a wink. "Otherwise, she wouldn't be where she is today."
"In that case, thank you, Your Majesty Ling Lai." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
After that, he took another look at His Majesty Ling Lai's legs: "I heard from the doctors on His Majesty's medical team that there is a high chance that your legs will recover?"
"There is no chance of complete recovery. But it shouldn't be too difficult to stand up." His Majesty Ling Lai smiled. "After all, although I am not as powerful as Boss Xiao, I am still a ninjutsu master, and my physical recovery ability is definitely stronger than that of a normal person."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "That's good. I wish your Majesty a speedy recovery."
His Majesty Ling Lai smiled slightly, and suddenly said very cautiously: "Your Majesty, during this trip to Tokyo, my old classmate has become a complete orphan. Please take good care of her."
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, a little curious at first. Xuanji smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Shang is the heir to Yan Shang after all, so how can she need my care?"
"I'm not talking about work. I'm talking about daily life." His Majesty Ling Lai suddenly approached Xiao Zheng, and a gust of fragrant wind hit his nostrils.
Xiao Zheng's heart tightened and he asked curiously: "Daily life?"
When His Majesty Ling Lai saw Xiao Zheng pretending to be stupid, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Miss Shang is at her softest now. I think that no matter what rude request Boss Xiao makes, I believe she will not refuse."
After saying that, His Majesty Ling Lai pushed the wheelchair and left the room. Before leaving, he left a message: "I just said hello to Miss Shang and said you would go over and help her pack her luggage."
