Yun Luofeng lightly raised her brow, her gaze turning slightly towards the person who spoke.
It was a handsome youth with delicate eyebrows, which were somewhat knitted from dissatisfaction. Perhaps due to staying in this stone room devoid of sunlight these past few days, his cheeks were close to becoming a translucent white. It was obvious that he was young, but his eyes contained a feeling of having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
âWhatâs your name?â Yun Luofeng looked at the handsome youth and asked with upturned lips.
The handsome youth did not expect that Yun Luofeng would notice him this swiftly, so he was stunned for a moment. His eyes wandered around in a circle as he said, âYi Ling! My name is Yi Ling!â
âWhat I want is your real name! Tell me, what is your real name?â Yun Luofeng folded her arms across her chest, though her tone bore no trace of impatience.
The youth was startled, his eyeball continued to wander as he insisted, âYi Ling is my real name!â
âWell then, let me change the question: where did you go last night?â Yun Luofeng watched the youth while smiling. Her black eyes seemed to be capable of discerning everything. Nothing could escape her scrutiny!
The youthâs face began to sweat. When he left yesterday, no one was trailing after him, so why would Yun Luofeng ask him this question? She was definitely pulling his leg on purpose!
What the youth did not know was, indeed, no one was following him last night, there was only a little hamster sneaking behind him.
âYi Ling?â Yun Luofengâs smile became more pronounced. âReportedly, a few years ago, Liujin Kingdom 1 was defeated. In order to seek peace, they sent Liujin Kingdomâs most talented third prince, Ye Ling, as a pawn! Third Prince was originally the next generationâs sovereign but suffered the fate of being a pawn! Therefore, I want to askâshould I call you Yi Ling or Third Prince?â
The youthâs complexion transformed dramatically, his eyes staring at Yun Luofeng in horror.
âYouâŠhow did you know?â
Wasnât the General Estateâs eldest miss useless? How was she able to discern his identity?

âWhen Crown Prince first sent you all to General Estate, I didnât notice you, and yet you could not remain calm. When you went to meet with a eunuch from the palace yesterday, you were discovered by my people!â Yun Luofeng gently patted Milk Teaâs little head, smiling faintly with lowered eyes. âOf course, if you casually came up with a name when I asked you just now, I would have had no way of knowing you are Ye Ling! However, you actually used the name âYi Lingâ to deceive me!â
She paused and looked up at the youthâs deathly white face.
âLiujin Kingdomâs Empress Yi is your mother. It is difficult to go undetected by using this name. Iâm only curious, just what terms did that person from the Imperial Palace use to make you do his bidding?â
Ye Ling chuckled wryly. âYun Luofeng, they all say you are trash and that you only dare to abuse your power by relying on the General Estateâs name. Unfortunately, the world is blind; no one was able to see through you. You are correct, I am Ye Ling! The Emperor promised me that after staying in your estate for a full two years, he will let me go back to my kingdom! Not to mention, if it werenât for Yun Luo, that old man, Liujin Kingdom would not be defeated, and I wouldnât become a hostage!â a touch of hatred flashed through Ye Lingâs eyes as he coldly spoke.
âYe Ling, do you think this is really my grandfatherâs fault?â Yun Luofeng sneered. âI admit, my grandfather used to be foolishly loyal, completely obedient to that dog emperorâs commands. However, it was not of his own volition! The one you should truly hate is that dog emperor! Whatâs more, the reason why you became a hostage, Iâm afraid you know better than anyone.â
