The Path of the Cannon Fodder's Counterattack

Ch-39

Fu Yujun raised an eyebrow with interest, his hands crossed over his chest. "Let me hear them."

"Mo Qi... Palace Woman Mo, what happened?"

Fu Yujun looked down when he heard that, deeply thinking about something. After a while, he finally looked back up and answered, "Dead, dead on the Emperor's orders."

Ling Xiao's eyes brightened. The bit of cheerfulness that leaked out did not escape Fu Yujun's eyes. Fu Yujun looked at Ling Xiao thoughtfully.

This Ling Xiao has hatred against Mo Qi?

"Then where is her body at?"

Just as he thought of that, he heard Ling Xiao ask the next question. Fu Yujun propped his jaw, his gaze considering it for a moment and smiling, "This question, well, you shouldn't ask me, but the Mu Country's Emperor. He was the one who ordered her death, the handling of her body and whatnot are also his problem."

Ling Xiao heard and his eyes flashed. Fu Yujun's words were said as freely and indifferently as the wind, as if he wasn't the person being assassinated back then. It was like the executed Mo Qi also had no relation with him.

Ling Xiao frowned while some suspicions nagged at him, so he probingly asked, "That, Your Highness... you don't have any objection to it?"

"Objection?" Fu Yujun laughed as if nothing had happened. "The Mu Country Emperor helped me get rid of a woman that was plotting my death. Naturally, I only have heartfelt thanks. From here on out, I have nothing to care about."

"You... didn't you like her a lot?" Ling Xiao continued to probe him.

Ling Xiao could remember that although this Fu Yujun was loose (romantic), if there was a woman who had his interest and was being liked by him, then he would meet the standard requirement of a lover and do all he could to be good to the other in every way possible. This was also the reason why, although he was romantic and fickle, he still received a lot of women's love in Shao Country.

Fu Yujun shouldn't be so unconcerned about Mo Qi's death if she had his heart. Even if she schemed against him, she didn't really injure him. At minimum, Fu Yujun should know where her corpse was.

Fu Yujun seemed to have heard some kind of joke and sneered at it. But his words did not deny his fondness toward Mo Qi. "No matter how much I like her, it is not as important as one's life. Am I not right?"

Ling Xiao nodded at those words. Life was the most important after all. In his past life, his impression of Fu Yujun was that the other was romantic and fickle most of the time, very unruly. But now, it looked like he was also someone who cherished life.

Ling Xiao sighed a long, drawn-out sigh. Ling Xiao knew from Fu Yujun's tone that he couldn't obtain any news on what he wanted, so he no longer bothered himself over it.

It's just that, he was thinking about whether he wanted to put his request forward before Mo Qi had been determined to really be dead...

Ling Xiao covered the wound on his chest, frowning while at a loss.

This time's injury was much more serious than the ones before.

He felt his strength completely drain away after only doing this much. His body became heavier, and even if he leaned against the bedframe, he was still unsteady...

Ling Xiao wanted to look down and check himself, but when he lowered his head, his eyes widened.

His wound had already been treated, his upper body was wrapped with layers of gauze, but on top of the gauze was brand new white clothing.
