Chu Ling was very emotional, so his men used force, strangling Xiao Ziyi, whose cheeks turned red. He opened his mouth to breathe, and tears fell like beads, but he did not make any sound.

"If you push harder, you'll strangle this little mute to death."

Without waiting for Yun Chaomu to say anything, Di Wuming said coldly.

Hearing Di Wuming's words, Chu Ling's hand trembled and loosened, and his subordinate Xiao Ziyi choked and coughed several times.

He did not struggle and let Chu Ling hold him. He looked so well-behaved and thin that it was hard to bear.

"Your Highness, Chu Ling is solely responsible for his own actions. He will not bring any trouble to the You Palace. The kidnapping of Xiao Ziyi was all done by Chu Ling alone. But... I hope that Your Highness can treat Chu Ling's mother well."

He said with red eyes.

Hearing his words, an expression of impatience flashed across Di Wuming's face. "You said you won't implicate me, so what? You've just surrendered and you're already causing trouble for me? Based on what you did today, I'm wondering if you had a plan in mind and were waiting for this moment?"

Chu Ling did not respond. He knew that what he did was wrong, but he could not wait any longer and could not hold it in any longer. The scene at the mass grave was truly a huge shock to him.

He did not reply to Chu Ling's words, but looked at Meng Qingge, "Meng Qingge, what about you? Yun Chaomu is your savior. Do you want to come with me to expose the true colors of Xiao Zhan and Yun Qianqian?"

Yun Chaomu sighed softly and took two steps forward. "Chu Ling, the child is innocent. You have your own way to avenge your hatred. Threatening with a child is not what a gentleman does. I know you don't want to do that."

She spoke softly, her tone filled with heartache and tolerance.

Chu Ling stared at her, holding Xiao Ziyi's neck tightly and not letting him go.

Yun Chaomu saw that Xiao Ziyi's face was pale and his chest rose and fell violently when he breathed. She knew that he was not in good health and became even more worried. She hated Xiao Zhan and Yun Qianqian very much, but she never wanted to hurt this child.

"Chu Ling, you have an open mind and a heart that looks up to the sun. Don't let hatred blind your eyes. If you threaten this child with his life, how can you get over the hurdle in your heart?"

she said.

The child is already five years old, and Chu Ling has known about the child's existence for the past four years. If he really wanted to perish together with his enemy, he would not have waited until today.

It was her corpse in the mass grave that stimulated her, but she was unable to speak and could not tell her true identity, so he had to discover it himself.

Di Wuming raised his eyes to look at Yun Chaomu. She had not yet recovered from a serious illness and her face was still a little pale, but the look she gave Chu Ling was tolerant and distressed.

He pursed his lips and pulled the corners of his lips downwards. Could it be that the person Meng Qingge likes is Chu Ling?

Thinking of this, his face darkened slightly, and the look he gave Chu Ling was filled with some hostility.

Unfortunately, Chu Ling didn't see it. He was overwhelmed by hatred and anger. Hearing Yun Chaomu's words, he sneered, "Meng Qingge, do you think you know me well? What do you know? I only ask you one question now, do you want to come with me to find Xiao Zhan and Yun Qianqian? You just say yes or no!"

he asked sharply.

As he became more emotional, his men exerted force once again. Xiao Ziyi's face turned pale and he breathed heavily. He didn't shout or struggle, but his eyes were filled with tears. He looked so pitiful.

Yun Chaomu remembered this child. He had been poisoned and was extremely weak. He would not survive the winter. The child was innocent, and she did not want Chu Ling to have an innocent life on her hands.

Because he is such a good person.

But now, because of her, his peach blossom eyes were dyed scarlet, and a hideous scar was across his handsome face. How could she not feel pain?

"A Ling, put the child down first, and let's talk. He's in poor health and has poison in his body. He..."

Yun Chaomu walked forward while speaking.

Before he could finish his words, Chu Ling waved him away, "Get out! Meng Qingge, I really misjudged you. You're not going, right? Okay, okay... Why did my sister Mu save you? Do you sympathize with this child? What does he have to do with you? He has poison in his body, so what does it have to do with me? If you pity him, then who will pity my sister?"

he shouted angrily.

Yun Chaomu was pushed by him and hit directly on the shoulder. Her face turned pale with pain and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Di Wuming helped her up.

"That's enough, Chu Ling, did I give you face?"

Di Wuming's face darkened and he was in an extremely bad mood.

"He held it down for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Wuming's subordinates immediately stepped forward and arrested Chu Ling.

"Don't come over here, get out of here!"

"Will I be threatened by you? Even if the child is dead, what does it have to do with me?"

Emperor Wuming had a grim look on his face.

Chu Ling paused. His mind was dazed by hatred and anger. He was pinned to the ground by Di Wuming's guards. His eyes were red and unwilling. He stared at Meng Qingge, "Sister Amu saved your life. Is this how you repay her? Meng Qingge, are you worthy of her?"

"My Lord, please let him go first."

Clouds on the road in the morning and evening.

"He's going crazy now, and he even pushed you. I think he should be thrown into the moat to have his brain washed away."

Emperor Wuming said coldly.

Yun Chaomu knew that Di Wuming was really capable of doing this, so she could never allow it. She just said, "Let me talk to him properly."

Di Wuming pursed his lips, looking unhappy.

Yun Chaomu walked up to Chu Ling. He was pinned to the ground, unable to move, but he raised his head with difficulty, looking resentful and unwilling.

Then Yun Chaomu said, "A Ling, Yun Chaomu doesn't want to see you like this..."

"Don't call me A Ling, Meng Qingge. What qualifications do you have to call me that? Who do you think you are?"

He spoke without thinking, he was full of resentment, he had lost all his internal strength and didn't even have a chance to resist. He was pinned to the ground and the child was grabbed to force Xiao Zhan and Yun Qianqian to seriously injure them. This was the only way for him to avenge his sister, but he was stopped by Di Wuming and vetoed by Meng Qingge. How could he not hate him?

Yun Chaomu would not get angry at his harsh words, because she understood his pain. She asked the guards who were holding Chu Ling to release their hands and reached out to help him, "Ah Ling, you once told your sister Ah Mu that one must be open and honest and have a clear conscience in order to stand tall and proud. You are such a good person, and your dream is to become a great general. But now you have captured a sick child. I know you are even more sad, so I don't want you to go against your original intention.

You want to avenge Yun Chaomu, I know everything, I have already made arrangements, the bad guys will not go unpunished, the truth will be revealed to the public one day, you have to believe me."

As Yun Chaomu finished his words, Chu Ling was still struggling to raise his chin. He vaguely saw the shadow of his elder sister in Meng Qingge, gentle and tolerant.

"A Ling, what is your dream?"

At that time, he fought cocks, played with dogs, and played with crickets. He lived a carefree life every day. He was a young marquis who would inherit the title in the future without having to work hard. However, he was young and unruly and disobedient at that time, and his father broke several sticks on him.

Once, when Sister brought him out of Changqing Pavilion, she asked him this question...
