"I am an orphan, from a poor family."
Xiao Zheng didn't mind Ling Lai's comments and said very frankly: "Of course I don't understand your royal family."
This can be regarded as a major advantage of Brother Azheng.
I don’t force myself to pretend to be a comparison, and I don’t pretend to understand because I don’t understand. If he doesn’t understand, he just doesn’t understand. He is willing to ask for advice humbly.
Ling Lai smiled slightly and said in a very gentle tone: "Mr. Xiao, are you curious why I dare not offend Yoshiko, but dare to kill my mother, the emperor's sister?"
"I'm indeed curious." Xiao Zheng asked, nodding. "Your mother's identity and status seem to be countless times more powerful than Princess Yoshiko. And she is always your mother."
When discussing with Ling Lai why she wanted to kill her mother, Xiao Zheng felt his scalp numb and his hair standing on end.
She—is Ling Lai's mother. biological mother.
Is the mother-daughter relationship really so fragile in Ling Lai's eyes
Ling Lai asked calmly: "Mr. Xiao, is your positioning of your mother like this?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head gently: "She is indeed a little ruthless."
In fact, it was not just Ling Lai's attitude towards her mother that shocked Xiao Zheng. Meiko's attitude towards her daughter also made Xiao Zheng unimaginable.
Is this the kind of relationship a mother and daughter should have? So deformed!
Even Lin Laoyao, who was at the height of his power, had a much stronger attitude towards the Lin sisters than Meiko. Lin Huayin even reached the point of doting on her.
Because his wife can't get along with Lin Huayin, he will directly throw his wife into the cold palace. Isn't this father's love truly as great as a mountain
The mother-daughter relationship between Meiko and Ling Lai is really shocking.
Ling Lai stared at Xiao Zheng with a playful expression and said slowly: "The royal family is ruthless. This is not surprising."
After a brief pause, she continued: "The real reason why I killed her was not her ruthlessness. It was her ignorance."
ignorance
Ling Lai killed her mother because of her ignorance
Xiao Zheng couldn't understand Ling Lai's thinking, let alone believe that Ling Lai killed his mother for such a reason.
"She thought that by relying on the big tree of Ito, she could sit back and relax and gain an advantage in the battle for imperial power." Ling Lai pursed her lips and said. "How ignorant and stupid."
Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed and he asked, "So? Is this the reason why you killed her?"
Ling Lai smiled slightly, pursed her lips and said, "Do you know how much damage she has caused to the royal family's face?"
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows: "I only know that your royal family is not allowed to marry commoners."
"No matter how powerful Ito is, he is still just a commoner." Ling Lai said in a deep voice. "He is still a gangster. Such a person will never be able to enter the royal family."
"But your mother got together with him." Xiao Zhengqi said. "You mean, the royal family doesn't agree with her actions?"
"Not only do I disapprove, but I also regard it as a shame." Ling Lai said every word. "If it weren't for the emperor's suppression, she would have been liquidated by the royal family long ago."
"It seems that the royal family is also a little wary of Ito's strength." Xiao Zheng understood the subtext of Ling Lai's words.
Why is the emperor pressing down? Because Ito’s influence in Tokyo is so great!
It was so big that even the royal family did not dare to act rashly. So even if someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to overthrow Miko, the emperor would not dare to mess around. Afraid of provoking fire and burning oneself, and even more afraid of being exposed and losing face.
So to this day, the royal family has always held back and dared not speak out.
Thinking like this, Xiao Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Ling Lai with a solemn expression: "So, the reason why you want to kill Ito is not because you feel embarrassed, but -"
"That's why I said that Mr. Xiao did me a big favor. In the future, I will also be happy to help Mr. Xiao." Ling Lai said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have been taken advantage of by you."
"Why do you have to say that, Mr. Xiao?" Ling Lai said gently. "This is what Mr. Xiao is willing to do. I'm just taking advantage of your help. Besides, Ling Lai will be very grateful to Mr. Xiao for his help this time."
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I really want to know what I can bring you this time."
Ling Lai smiled slightly and said slowly: "If nothing happens, I will inherit my mother's title."
"Besides that, you might also get great praise from the emperor, right?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"The one who died was His Majesty the Emperor's biological sister after all." Ling Lai said with a smile. "He probably wouldn't pay me any lip service."
"The royal family is so ruthless." Xiao Zheng sighed.
In order to pursue greater power, the daughter even did not hesitate to operate on her mother. And the biological brother will not avenge his sister. On the contrary, the enemy who killed my sister will be rewarded heavily——
"From this perspective, ordinary people are not much different." Ling Lai said with a slight smile. "If a daughter flirts with others outside, and even kills people and sets fires, will the father also have the desire to clean up the house?"
"Perhaps the biggest difference is that people from the royal family have this ability. But ordinary fathers don't have this ability." Ling Lai hit the key point.
"Maybe." Xiao Zheng nodded slightly and suddenly pursed his lips and asked. "Your Highness the Prince. You have raised so many strong men and have worked hard to get to where you are today. You must have quite a bit of ambition, right?"
"I prefer to use ambition to describe my wishes." Ling Lai smiled. “The head of the family works hard and hopes to earn more money to take care of his family. Is this ambition?”
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
yes.
The basic desire of ordinary people is to make money and take care of their families. The fundamental wish of people in the royal family is to keep climbing up and reach the top one day!
For Ling Lai, such ambition is innate. Including her mother, and even her weak and incompetent father. He also sacrificed everything for the glory of his family.
Xiao Zheng paused for a moment, raised his eyes and asked, "Your Highness, what is your ultimate goal?"
This was just an innocent question on his part.
Where Ling Lai can go in the future is not what Xiao Zheng wants to care about. It has nothing to do with him either.
But facing such a woman with all her tricks, Xiao Zheng would inevitably have such curiosity.
It was as if he would be curious about what kind of person Lin Huayin would become in the future. One will be curious as to whether Sophia can truly unify fox hunting.
These women really don't show any respect to men.
Ling Lai lowered her eyes slightly and said in a tone that seemed calm but was actually full of yearning: "My idol is Empress Suigu who founded the Asuka Era and was the first empress of the Japanese Empire!"
Xiao Zheng's body trembled suddenly, his eyes stern.
This woman in a wheelchair wants to be the queen
