This news was truly shocking.
Ling Xingyun was taken aback, "Ah Jie, is what you said true?"
Ling Yuezi nodded, "Back then, you were injured and fell down the cliff. I wanted to find you, but then a group of pursuers came. Mother protected me from behind to allow me to escape, and those men..." Ling Yuezi's eyes reddened, "Over ten big men, wielding knives, came at Mother, a frail woman. Mother angrily shouted, 'Prince Ping, a traitor, kills the Emperor's family; he will surely face divine retribution.' That was the title given to the Regent King back then, exactly Prince Ping!"
Ling Xingyun's face grew increasingly pale, "Mother..." He trembled at the corners of his mouth and began to cry, "Is Mother gone like that?"
