Chapter 788: Chapter 581: Chen Lin Blames Herself, Luo Yu Organization Besieged_2

"Yes!"

Princess Consort Zhang Yun hastily nodded, cold sweat streaming down her face, for the Prince she shared a bed with had once been a ruthlessly murderous man.

She had married Wang Siyun from a young age, following him all the way without ever leaving. Although it had been an arranged marriage with the Zhang Family, in her heart, she truly liked the Prince.

Of course, Wang Siyun had been sufficiently benevolent and just towards both Zhang Yun and the Zhang Family!

"The porridge is good."

After Wang Siyun finished a bowl of porridge, he nodded in satisfaction and praised.

"If my lord likes it, I will prepare it every day."

"Hmm, that’s right. Spending more time on meals, not only cultivates the mood but also makes life more enjoyable. How wonderful."

"You are right, my lord, your servant will take her leave!"

Zhang Yun left, and Wang Siyun watched her departing figure, deep in thought. After a moment, he shouted towards the door.

"Uncle Fu!"

"Your servant is here!"

An old man with the appearance of a youthful elder materialized and responded respectfully.

"Send a message to Zhang Siyuan, put aside the matters in the Capital City for now, and come back immediately. Make sure to clean up your act; the Zhang Family does not need two voices!"

"Yes!"

As the old servant Uncle Fu was about to leave, Wang Siyun suddenly thought of something and urgently called out to him.

"Uncle Fu, wait."

"My lord, do you have any other instructions?"

"How long has it been since you exercised your muscles and bones?"

Wang Siyun chuckled, a seemingly simple question, but to Uncle Fu, it clearly had another implication.

"It has been some years, my lord!"

"Hmm! Always sitting around is not good. When Zhang Siyuan returns, you will take a trip for me!"

"Yes!"

"My lord, Young Master Wang Yang has arrived!"

Just then, a servant’s voice came from outside the door.

Wang Siyun waved his hand, and Uncle Fu, understanding the gesture, nodded. His figure gradually became translucent and disappeared from sight.

"Come in!"

Wang Yang stepped into the study, bowed to Wang Siyun, and performed a junior’s salute.

"I’ve seen the Prince!"

"Hmm! Come over and sit."

Wang Siyun beckoned with his hand, and Wang Yang, unreservedly took a seat opposite him.

"Are you so eager to learn about your own origins?"

"You guessed wrong this time, my lord!"

Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, saying meaningfully that he was not in a hurry to understand his origins, especially not at this time.

"Oh?"

"I am here this time, to consult you about a piece of history."

Wang Yang didn’t beat around the bush and spoke directly, which made Wang Siyun shake his head, smiling without saying a word.

"If my lord remains silent, I’ll take it as consent. I want to know about Zhang Yao’s matter, and also about the fallen Snow Dragon in Donglin Valley.

"You kid! The reason that Snow Dragon fell was that it was personally slain by a Sword Saint. But, before its death, a wisp of its soul escaped into the Void and vanished; it now seems to have been obtained by the Snow Maiden Zhang Yao, merging into one with her!"

Wang Yang nodded, it seemed that the Underground Dragon Palace was indeed built by that Sword Saint, forcibly extracting the Snow Dragon Soul and placing it within the Nine Palaces Great Formation to guard it.

"It seems that you, my lord, are not just idling away in the Royal Palace, oblivious to world affairs!"

"The matter of Zhang Yao is a long story. Back when the Great Heir Wang Hao was selecting a consort, Zhang Yao was one of the candidates. You also know the status of the Jinshi Zhang Family in Ice Cold City, the head of the prestigious nobility, unmatched by others. But there was one family that didn’t think this way,"

The Tyrant Blade Han Family, a cultivation family of Ice Cold City, had a daughter named Han Dan. To snatch the position of the Heir’s Consort, she brutally murdered Zhang Yao and threw her corpse into the West Mountain of Ice Mountain Ridge in Donglin Valley, fabricating it to look like she was killed by demon beasts.

Ultimately ascending to the position, the Han Family also rose significantly, becoming the second most powerful aristocratic family in Ice Cold City, next only to the Zhang Family!

"The daughter of the Zhang Family was brutally murdered, and the Zhang Family didn’t respond?"

After hearing this, Wang Yang couldn’t help but ask, as the status of the Jinshi Zhang Family in Ice Cold City was unshakable. How could they swallow such an insult?

"Within the Zhang Family, there isn’t unity. Two factions have been incessantly struggling for years. The faction of Princess Consort Zhang Yun has always been trying to replace the direct line of Zhang Siyuan. The Han Family promised to help in this struggle, so who would refuse such a situation that benefits all parties involved?"

Wang Yang understood that these family conflicts were no less fierce than the power struggles within the Royal Family.

Zhang Yao belonged to the direct line of Zhang Siyuan. Had she become the Heir’s Consort, it was highly probable that she would eventually become the Princess Consort, considering Wang Siyun would inevitably abdicate one day.

Once abdicated, the Great Heir Wang Hao would naturally inherit the position of Prince. If Zhang Yao had become the Princess Consort, then the collateral line would never have a chance to recover!

Taking advantage of the circumstance where the collateral line’s Zhang Yun was currently held in the esteemed position of Princess Consort, controlling the family’s power, it naturally sought to suppress the direct line.

Had Zhang Siyuan lacked the support of the Royal Palace, namely Wang Siyun, he might have been completely devoured by the collateral line long ago.

"I indeed didn’t make this trip in vain today. Thank you, Prince!"

Having learned what he wanted to know, Wang Yang naturally didn’t linger anymore. Wang Siyun did not stop him either, waving his hand to indicate that Wang Yang could leave.

"Farewell!"

Wang Yang bowed with his fists clasped and left the Royal Palace. All this naturally didn’t escape the eyes of Wang Ru, whose intent to kill Wang Yang intensified.

If she did not remove him now, she might not have another chance later.

Being so close to Wang Siyun, entering the Royal Palace as if it were his own yard, to take action now would be too dangerous and expose his true identity.

Wang Yang did not know that Wang Ru had already started to prepare plans for assassination.

Upon leaving the Royal Palace and hurrying back to the Luo Yu Organization, now knowing Zhang Yao’s past, Wang Yang’s bargaining chips increased slightly.

Great Heir Wang Hao was already on the same boat with the Demon Clan, a fact Wang Yang had known since his time in Snow Cold Town.

Of course, Wang Siyun was aware of this as well.

The grudge Zhang Yao held against the Zhang Family was because of the collateral line that Princess Consort belongs to. Seeing today’s attitude of Wang Siyun, it seems that neither the Zhang Family nor Heir Wang Hao wants to get involved in this matter.

Though Great Heir Wang Hao is the son of Princess Consort Zhang Yun, his private collusion with the Demon Clan has set him on a wrong path. Wang Siyun might hesitate to act, but Wang Yang could.

"Hand over Chen Lin!"

"Luo Yu, please give me an explanation!"

"Let Chen Lin come out and explain why our forces were all slaughtered by Zhang Yao, and only she managed to escape unharmed!"

"I suspect Luo Yu Organization secretly colluded with Snow Maiden Zhang Yao, deliberately luring us there to annihilate us. From now on within Tianfang Street, there will probably only be Luo Yu and no others!"

Upon his return, Wang Yang saw that the entrance of the Luo Yu Organization was blocked by a crowd, each one indignant, all demanding Chen Lin to come forward.

At the gate, Luo Yu stood in the front, the rest behind, their expressions solemn. They followed Wang Yang’s instructions to pack their luggage, but before they could leave, they were stopped by various organizations at the door.

"What does it mean that Luo Yu is silent and not handing over people?"

Gui Liang, the leader of the Nine Nether Organization, stood out and was the first to openly question. He had not had a chance to regain his dignity since a previous defeat by Luo Yu.

Now, however, was an opportunity.

"It seems last time’s defeat didn’t teach you a lesson," Luo Yu coldly stated, causing Gui Liang’s wound to be reopened. With a cold snort, he continued.

"This time it is Luo Yu Organization that has plotted against us. If Luo Yu doesn’t give an explanation, don’t blame us for being ruthless later!"

With those words from Gui Liang, the guilt was directly placed on Luo Yu Organization. Upon hearing this in the courtyard, Chen Lin was about to stand up to respond, but was pulled back by Su Yue.

"If you go out now, you’ll fall right into their trap. They aim to pin the blame on Luo Yu Organization using you. If you don’t show yourself, they dare not act rashly!"

"But I can’t let everyone suffer for my sake!"

"Do you think they would let off Luo Yu Organization if you came forward?"

Wang Yang’s voice sounded, and his figure appeared in the courtyard. Su Yue and the others, upon seeing him, breathed a sigh of relief, as if a person drowning had grasped the last straw.
