Su Lingyue didn't have to wait in the hall for long before Yun Ting came in. He was wearing a slim-fitting black brocade long coat with dark cloud patterns, which made him look tall and slender.

It's just that he has a cold personality to begin with, and the black clothes make him look even colder.

"I wonder what the princess wants to talk to me about?" Yun Ting asked with a nod.

"Please sit down." Su Lingyue spoke softly while sitting in the main seat.

"Yes." Yun Ting responded and sat down beside him.

Su Lingyue looked at Yun Ting. The sword attack a few months ago made her instinctively regard Yun Ting as a dangerous being.

Under the wide sleeves, Su Lingyue crossed her hands on her legs and clasped them together.

She suppressed the ups and downs of her emotions and asked calmly, "Have you heard any news about the prince in the past few days?"

Yun Ting looked at Su Lingyue and said, "The prince will send a message every five days, and the time has not yet come."

Three days have passed, and there are still two days before receiving Xiao Yu's letter. Thinking of this, Su Lingyue felt that time was not so unbearable.

After asking about Xiao Yu, Su Lingyue thought about the purpose of calling Yun Ting here, and asked: "I heard that Master Dian committed suicide? It is related to King Jing, what happened?"

Yun Ting put his hands on his knees and lowered his eyes to think about how to answer Su Lingyue's question.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ting looked up at Su Lingyue and said, "Master Dian wanted to save his daughter, so he made public what King Jing had done. The emperor ordered an investigation and the investigation led to him. In order to appease the emperor's anger, Master Dian chose to commit suicide this morning."

Because of her uncle's affairs, Su Lingyue had no good feelings towards Wang Qing's family, as well as the entire Dian family, who were related by marriage.

But when he heard Lord Dian make public what King Jing had done, he felt happy. Why should a villain be treated preferentially just because he was born into the royal family?

Su Lingyue whispered: "I just told the truth. There is no need to die so tragically."

"I'm afraid he did more than just this one thing." Yun Ting explained calmly, "I'm afraid his son and son-in-law were all promoted by him. Besides, there are only a few people in the officialdom who can stay clean. It all depends on whether the emperor is willing to investigate."

"If we really investigate, I'm afraid that all nine clans of the Dian Mansion may be in danger. He may have thought of this and publicly admitted that he had done it. The emperor cannot punish him excessively. The others will be killed and it will be difficult to find any trace of them."

"So that's it." Su Lingyue looked at Yun Ting in surprise.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Xiao Yu could leave without worry and leave everything to Yun Ting.

Yun Ting's mind is much stronger than anyone else in the mansion.

Yun Ting and Yan Qing are completely opposite types of people, while Lin Chuan and A Jing are in the middle.

Yun Ting is indeed the best candidate to succeed Xiao Yu.

Meeting Su Lingyue's large and clear eyes and the direct gaze, Yun Ting's heart suddenly began to beat uncontrollably, just like when Su Lingyue hugged him in the carriage on the way back home on the Mid-Autumn Night.

He quickly looked away, not meeting Su Lingyue's gaze, and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

Seeing Yun Ting looking away, Su Lingyue realized that it was really against the rules to stare at someone like that.

"How is King Jing?" Su Lingyue asked, changing the subject.

Yun Ting lowered his eyes and answered, "I don't know. The emperor has not issued an imperial decree to punish him. However, since this matter has become a hot topic and a minister who requested to return home has died, the emperor will definitely do something for the sake of the royal family's reputation."

He did not tell Su Lingyue that Prince Jing had been imprisoned in the Dali Temple. The less she knew about Prince Jing, the better.

At least in the end, she wouldn't be too disappointed.

Su Lingyue felt much better after hearing Yun Ting's words. She said with a hint of sarcasm, "If King Jing is not punished, the emperor will lose the hearts of his ministers and the people. He is an emperor and will not do this."

Yun Ting lowered his eyes, and replied with a somewhat unnatural look in his eyes: "I hope so."

Su Lingyue was in a good mood and didn't look at Yun Ting's expression.

She didn't plan to stay in the hall for long, as she hadn't even started embroidering the handkerchief she promised to embroider for Xiao Yu every day.

Su Lingyue stood up and said, "That's all I'll ask you today. Go back. If the prince has any letters, please send them to me as soon as possible."

Yun Ting also stood up and nodded, "Yes, Princess."

Then, he watched Su Lingyue leave until her graceful figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
