Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Commander
Han Ziyan gritted her teeth fiercely. Rong Ling, you actually treated me like this. I will not let it go. You dare to belittle me like this, I will definitely strike back hard. Besides, since I can’t have you, no one else should even think about it.
After venting her anger, Han Ziyan turned around and left, without a trace of reluctance.
Rong Ling and Feng Qing were unaware of the scene behind them. After entering Yijing Courtyard, Feng Qing escorted Rong Ling into the room to let him rest.
Just as Rong Ling lay down and prepared to rest, the newly appointed stewards of the Prince Mansion, Nan Sheng and Nan Feng, arrived: "Prince, Commander Han has come under imperial orders to visit you."
Rong Ling raised an eyebrow: "Commander Han?"
Steward Nan Sheng quickly reported: "Heir Han Moyao of the An Nan Marquis Mansion, currently the Commander of the Five Cities Military Department."
Upon hearing Nan Sheng’s words, Rong Ling’s lips curled with a cold smile: "So he has sided with the Emperor, no wonder he’s climbed so fast."
Originally, Han Moyao was a second-class guard in the palace, but unexpectedly became the Commander of the Five Cities Military Department. It seems that he’s pledged allegiance to the Little Emperor, which is why he obtained such an important position.
However, this has little to do with Rong Ling; he now wants to see what business the Little Emperor has sent Han Moyao to Prince Yong Mansion for.
"Let him in."
Rong Ling strolled for a while, but his body was extremely weak, so he closed his eyes to rest.
Feng Qing gazed at his expression and sighed silently. The Furong Drunk indeed harmed the body; Rong Ling’s condition is really difficult to nurture back in a short time.
If only Dragon Marrow Jade could be found, it would be better. Unfortunately, there’s no trace of it yet.
In the room, Rong Ling rested with closed eyes, Feng Qing sat on a chair on one side reading a book, until the sound of footsteps arose outside the door.
Leading the way was a tall and straight man, clad in splendid attire. His every move exuded noble elegance, making it evident that he came from a good background. Moreover, his looks were especially striking, with well-defined and delicate features, slightly raised brows, carrying a natural charm. When he gazed at someone, his eyes overflowed with a gentle and deep emotion.
Such a person was inherently a nemesis of women, capable of making women easily fall into the atmosphere he created.
As Feng Qing was pondering, the man opposite suddenly lifted his gaze towards her. That look clashed directly into Feng Qing’s eyes. Feng Qing suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in that gaze, but the man soon shifted his vision towards Rong Ling on the bed.
"Greetings, Prince Yong."
Rong Ling opened his eyes, his gaze coldly fixed on Han Moyao.
"Congratulations to Commander Han."
The tone carried a hint of cold irony, yet Han Moyao wasn’t bothered, he simply cupped his hands and smiled: "Thanks to the Prince, I’ve received the Emperor’s favor. Now, I oversee the Five Cities Military Department. Rest assured, Prince, I will dedicate myself to diligently guarding everything in the Capital City."
Han Moyao came to Prince Yong Mansion today under the command of Your Majesty, with three tasks to accomplish. First, to see the Prince Yong and assess his health to see if there is any chance for recovery.
Second, the Emperor’s intention was to have him obtain the Commander’s Seal of the Capital Guard Camp from Prince Yong. Since the Prince has returned the court affairs to Your Majesty, the Commander’s Seal of the Capital Guard Camp should naturally be handed over as well.
Third, the Emperor sent him to Prince Yong Mansion to check on his sister and see how she’s doing. The Emperor is concerned about his sister.
In the room, Rong Ling lacked energy, thus he didn’t want to beat around the bush with Han Moyao and straightforwardly said: "Commander Han made a special trip to Prince Yong Mansion; is there something you need?"
Han Moyao lightly chuckled and said: "I’m mainly here to visit the Prince, and also want to ask the Prince about one matter; the Commander’s Seal of the Capital Guard Camp, the Prince seems not to have handed it over to Your Majesty."
