Xiao Zheng's question was like a sharp sword piercing Ling Lai's graceful aura. She had to face this acute problem.
Xiao Zheng considered whether Ling Lai would sincerely cooperate with him or join forces with Ito to frame him. But there is no point in making groundless speculations, because he has no substantive clues at all and cannot give a 100% judgment.
But this question can solve a lot of Xiao Zheng's confusions.
The people brought by Ling Lai killed Ito, how could she explain to the emperor's sister, her mother
The daughter murders her mother's boyfriend - this is not something you can just get away with by making a haha!
"Mr. Xiao, why do you need to worry about these things that have nothing to do with you?" Ling Lai asked with a smile after a brief silence.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have not been able to devote 100% of my energy to this cooperation so far. Because I have concerns." Xiao Zheng said slowly.
"Mr. Xiao doubts my sincerity?" Ling Lai was extremely smart. He immediately guessed Xiao Zheng's original intention.
"This is an extremely dangerous mission. I hope to have all the information before executing it." Xiao Zheng said bluntly. "I hope His Highness the Prince will understand."
"Of course." Ling Lai said with a slight smile. "This is Mr. Xiao's right."
"Then please tell me, Your Highness?" Xiao Zheng asked with narrowed eyes. "How should you explain it then?"
"Do I have to explain it to her?" Ling Lai pursed her lips and asked. "Has she ever explained to me what she did?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled and understood what Ling Lai meant. But soon, a bigger confusion appeared in my mind.
"Even if you don't explain it to your mother. What about the royal family? How should you explain it?" Xiao Zheng asked. "As far as I know, Ito is a distinguished guest of your royal family. He is deeply trusted."
"Who told Mr. Xiao?" Ling Lai was not surprised, but said calmly. "His Majesty's royal sister has been occupied by this powerful man. Although she does not object, she even takes the initiative. But it is a great insult to the royal family."
"Mr. Xiao should know. In Japan, descendants of the royal family are god-like existences. They are not accessible to common people." Ling Lai said slowly.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, a knowing smile finally appeared on his face: "Thank you, Your Highness, for clarifying my doubts."
"It should be." Ling Lai nodded with a smile. "So, is Mr. Xiao ready for his second disguise?"
"You can start at any time." Xiao Zheng said calmly.
Xiao Zheng followed Baidi Mitsui upstairs. Ling Lai pushed the wheelchair back to the room filled with the atmosphere of books. That was the room where Ling Lai usually read and wrote. Tonight, there was a 'guest' waiting for her.
Yes.
In her mansion, anyone who appears can only be described as a guest. Even his parents.
Waiting in the study tonight is her father who married into the royal family. A man who is loyal and brings glory to his family, but lives in depression and depression.
As soon as Ling Lai entered the study, the man sitting on the sofa quickly stood up. There was a strong look of worry on his face. In addition to worry, there is more tension and anxiety.
He knew his daughter's plan and why. But understanding is understanding, but he can't accept it, and he can't accept it.
While his daughter was carefully planning all this, the only thing he could do was to stop himself from being too nervous and live life as usual. I can't give even a little bit of advice, and I don't dare to give even a little bit of help.
Of course, I can't give it.
"Do you really want to do this?" Kosuke stepped forward with serious eyes and asked in a low voice.
"I have answered this question many times." Ling Lai pushed her wheelchair to the desk, took out a delicate brush and wrote a neat line of handwriting on a piece of rice paper.
"This will destroy you!" Kosuke said with heavy breathing. "Ling Lai, let's stop!"
"Stop?" Ling Lai slowly raised her eyes and said with clear eyes. "You have brought glory to your family. You have promoted a third-rate nobleman to a core nobleman close to the royal family. While doing everything, have you ever thought about giving up?"
In doing all this, you threw away all your dignity as a man. He even tolerated his wife hooking up with other men outside. what have you done
Kosuke said with a complicated expression: "Some things are my mission. I have to do them."
"This is also my mission." Ling Lai pursed her lips and said. "In fact, this should be your mission. It's just that you don't dare to do it."
Kosuke's body trembled suddenly, with a look of pain on his face: "I know, I am not a competent father."
"You are not a good husband either." Ling Lai said calmly. "Otherwise, you wouldn't tolerate this. You wouldn't let other men defile your wife."
"She-" Kosuke sighed softly. "She is your mother after all."
A look of disgust flashed in Ling Lai's eyes, and the gentleness she had when getting along with Xiao Zheng disappeared. Slowly putting down the brush, he said with a cold face: "Even if you have a dog, you will tease it a few times and feed it a few mouthfuls of food in your spare time. What has she done?"
Kosuke was speechless, only sighing endlessly.
"Go back." Ling Lai waved his hand, as ruthlessly as if he was waving away his subordinates, and said coldly. "After tonight, I will drive away all the dark clouds from your head. This is the last thing I do for you. From now on, you can take care of yourself."
Kosuke was silent for a long time and finally exited the study.
He knew that with his status and ability, it was impossible to interfere with Ling Lai's doing anything. Destroy her
In fact, he knew better than anyone else that Ling Lai's life had been ruined long since she broke her legs. Now, she is fighting against God to get her life back on track.
The first time of disguise is just to lay the foundation, the second time is the really difficult work that requires time and skill. Ling Lai knew that even with Baiji Mitsui's superb disguise skills, it would take at least an hour. So she took out a book from the bookcase, put it on her legs that had already lost consciousness, and read slowly. Waiting for Xiao Zheng’s perfect disguise.
An hour's wait may be quite a long time for ordinary people, but for Ling Lai, who has been sitting in a wheelchair since she was a child, and time passes more slowly than everyone around her, it does not feel long at all. On the contrary, it calmed her mind and allowed her to face everything that came next in the best mental state.
When there was movement outside the door, Ling Lai closed the book and pushed the wheelchair out of the study.
As soon as he went out, Ling Lai saw Xiao Zheng in disguise.
The change this time was not only in appearance, but also in temperament. From a mysterious and powerful young man to an ordinary man with average eyes.
For a moment, Ling Lai was stunned.
"Your Highness, so this is your aesthetic?" Xiao Zheng, who had completely changed his appearance, pointed to the bridge of his nose, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The moment I looked in the mirror, I was struck down by my ordinary appearance."
Ling Lai smiled slightly, raised her eyes and said with relief: "The more ordinary it is, the less attention it will attract."
After a pause, she continued: "Mr. Xiao, please push me over tonight."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "This is my honor."
