“He went out to play and didn’t come back,” Zhong Lang replied expressionlessly.
Liu Shimei became worried and frowned, “Why didn’t you stop him? You know that he…”
“Young Miss,” Zhong Lang interrupted her. After some hesitation, he insisted on asking, “Have you never doubted this King Dun Yu?”
Liu Shimei was startled.
Qi Yang was also stunned and asked, “What do you mean?”
Zhong Lang was not a person who beat around the bush. He said straightforwardly, “When you came into the courtyard today, I wasn’t able to completely restrain my sword wind, so a wind formation flew towards you guys. Ordinary people, such as you, the Young Miss, who did not practice martial arts, would have a high degree of fluttering clothes and hair.”
He raised his sleeves to make a comparison and continued, “And at that time, King Dun Yu was behind you. His clothes only moved but did not flutter. His resistance to the wind formation was very strong.”
The old and young did not know martial arts, so they were both confused and did not understand what Zhong Lang meant.
Liu Shimei even asked, “Perhaps he was blocked because he was behind me?”
“Perhaps there is such a reason.” Zhong Lang confirmed this possibility and continued, “At that time, I also thought so, so I tested him again. This time, everything reacted normally.”
Qi Yang felt that he was being confused and asked, “So, doesn’t that mean there’s no problem? What are you suspecting?”
“It’s not that I’m arrogant,” Zhong Lang explained. “But other than the hidden experts, there are only a handful of people in this world who are not affected by my sword wind.”
“Are you suspecting that Silly Second Prince knows martial arts, and that his martial arts aren’t weak?” Qi Yang’s eyes widened as he came to this conclusion.
Liu Shimei explained, “It’s not strange that he knows martial arts. He’s a prince, and he’s a legitimate son. Naturally, he has both civil and martial arts. He was seriously ill when he was 13 years old.”
Qi Yang raised another question, “But the martial arts that you practiced before the age of 13 definitely can’t beat Mr. Zhong!”
Zhong Lang was not complacent, he was still expressionless.
Liu Shimei looked at Zhong Lang and asked, “Did you discover anything, Mr. Zhong?”
She did not say that she had her suspicions.
It was better not to tell others about the matter between her and Huangfu Lingyao unless it was necessary.
It was not that she did not trust the two people in front of her, but that it was difficult for an upright official to resolve family matters.
Zhong Lang did not insist on getting an answer. Instead, he said, “Because 1 can’t be sure, so 1 asked, did Young Miss have any suspicions about King Dun Yu’s stupidity? He might be hiding a secret.”
When he met Huangfu Lingyao earlier, the hostility he felt from Huangfu Lingyao was not at all like that of a five-year-old child.
Liu Shimei lowered his eyes and said, “1 went to the palace to check his medical records. The record between the incident of the former Empress and his illness has been torn out.”
Instead of answering Zhong Lang’s question, he changed the topic.
Qi Yang had also checked Huangfu Lingyao’s pulse before. He frowned and said, “There must be something wrong with his body, but we didn’t find anything. Isn’t it strange?”
Zhong Lang had been in Jianghu for many years and was quite knowledgeable. He asked, “There are all kinds of strange things in this world.. Is there any sort of drug or medicine that can suppress the eight extraordinary meridians so that you won’t find anything when you take the pulse?”
