Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Reaping the Fisherman’s Benefit

Rong Ling wasn’t angry; it was meant to be given to Feng Qing anyway. She had the skill to make herself the master.

However, this woman truly had skills, different from the other women around him. Sometimes, she was as gentle as a kitten, yet occasionally she’d scratch you with her claws. Other times, she was like a wild deer, fierce but evoking sympathy. Yet, most of the time, she was like a wild horse, proud and untamed, indeed infuriating.

And this woman was his Princess Consort, also his lifesaver. The more Rong Ling thought about it, the colder his expression became, his dark eyes fixated on Feng Qing.

Feng Qing looked at his unpredictable demeanor, raising her eyebrows in silence. What had gotten into him again? How had she offended him?

"Prince, is there something the matter?"

Rong Ling collected his thoughts and looked at Feng Qing, saying, "Tell me your impressions of Heir of Prince Su and Prince An from earlier when you met them?"

Once Rong Ling spoke, Feng Qing finally understood the purpose behind his inviting her to meet his two nephews today.

She didn’t bother with formalities with Rong Ling and straightforwardly said, "Heir of Prince Su, Rong Yu, is highly calculative. Prince An, Rong Heng, is someone brave but lacking in strategy."

Rong Ling said nothing, continuing to stare at Feng Qing. Feng Qing frowned, remaining silent, not wanting to delve into these Royal Family matters. They had nothing to do with her.

Yet Rong Ling clearly wasn’t going to let her off the hook, raising an eyebrow slightly, he said, "Tell me your views on them. Furthermore, you are my Princess Consort, do not think you can remain uninvolved."

Feng Qing’s eyebrows flared, instantly feeling like swearing; what did it have to do with her?

But then, facing Rong Ling’s amused eyes, Feng Qing suddenly thought of that incident of thirty lashes and immediately spoke with a smile.

"Rumor has it that Heir of Prince Su, Rong Yu, is very renowned locally in Shengzhou. The people of Shengzhou regard him as their backbone. Some even claim that if Dayan’s succession were under Prince Su’s line, the river and sea would be clear, and the world would be at peace."

"For a Princely Heir to create such fame, I feel Heir of Prince Su, Rong Yu’s scheming is not to be feared. Instead, Prince An, Rong Heng, who has garnered a reputation of being brave but lacking strategy, is worth pondering."

"Is Prince An, Rong Heng truly brave but lacking strategy, or is he deeply concealed? Moreover, Heir of Prince Su, Rong Yu, earning such a great reputation—was it orchestrated by the lineage of Prince Su, or is there someone behind him aiding him? If there indeed was such a person, who could it be?"

"Thus, I think the Prince should focus more attention on Prince An, Rong Heng. This person is likely not simple."

Rong Ling gazed at Feng Qing with profound eyes and asked, "Upon entering the capital, Heir of Prince Su and Prince An immediately came to visit me. What do they mean by this?"

Once Rong Ling asked, Feng Qing, displeased, frowned, "The Prince clearly knows; why ask me then?"

Rong Ling calmly replied, "I’m asking you, so just speak directly."

Feng Qing coldly snorted, her face full of irritation, saying, "Their actions are naturally to incite conflict between the Prince and the Emperor, aiming to benefit as bystanders."

Rong Ling laughed coldly, his aura suddenly becoming chilling, his eyebrows filled with aggressiveness.

"These are my relatives, after all. Just where have I offended them?"

After speaking, Rong Ling instinctively reached out and tried to tear off the Dragon Marrow Jade from his chest.

"They said it’s for my health, specially finding Dragon Marrow Jade to give me, but it’s merely to ensure my good health, so I can continue contending with the Little Emperor. A truly clever strategy."
