Chapter 256: Chapter 256: This Is the Mother and Child Rings—You Can’t Separate Them Even If You Try

Rong Ling thought for a moment and realized that this area belonged to his Imperial Brother, Prince Su.

So, there’s a high possibility that the iron mine was tampered with by his Imperial Brother. What would his Imperial Brother use the iron for, if not for manufacturing private weapons? There’s hardly any other explanation.

Rong Ling looked grim. Although he didn’t plan to interfere in Rong Che’s matters anymore, he couldn’t allow anyone to disturb the peace of Dayan’s kingdom.

If Prince Su is manufacturing private weapons, he’s clearly plotting rebellion. If Prince Su rebels, it will undoubtedly bring chaos to Dayan’s people, and the Kingdom of Dayan, as it stands today, is a culmination of his efforts. He would never allow anyone to destroy the kingdom he personally stabilized.

"Nan Feng, instruct someone to prepare a bowl of sobering soup for Uncle Xu."

Nan Feng, aware of the gravity of the situation, quickly instructed his subordinates to make the sobering soup.

Once the sobering soup was ready, Uncle Xu drank a large bowl, and after a while, the effects of the alcohol began to subside.

Rong Ling looked at Uncle Xu and said, "Take me to see that mountain."

Uncle Xu saw Rong Ling’s serious expression, knowing the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly got up and said, "I will take you there."

However, Rong Ling did not immediately follow Uncle Xu but turned his head to look at Feng Qing.

Seeing his expression, Feng Qing knew he didn’t trust her and was afraid she might try to escape again.

Feng Qing had resigned herself to her fate. If Rong Ling had set his mind on her, he wouldn’t let her go even if she ran to the ends of the earth, so she truly had no intention of running anymore.

"Your Highness, go ahead. I will wait for you here."

Unfortunately, Feng Qing’s words did not put Rong Ling at ease. He slowly said, "I do not trust you."

Feng Qing grimaced. Was this a case of self-inflicted misery? She was telling the truth, yet he didn’t believe her.

Feng Qing was lost in thought when she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her wrist. She instinctively lowered her head to see a small jade ring on her wrist. The key was that this jade ring interlocked with another, which was on Rong Ling’s wrist, making it impossible for them to separate.

Feng Qing was stunned, looking at the jade rings and then at Rong Ling, saying, "Your Highness, what is this thing?"

Rong Ling happily explained, "These are the Mother and Child Rings, which can be separated or joined."

Then Rong Ling cheerfully explained, "This is activated by inner strength, so it’s impossible for you to separate them."

With that, Rong Ling stood up, completely ignoring the dumbfounded Xu family members.

Feng Qing snapped back to reality, looking unhappily at Rong Ling and said, "Your Highness, isn’t this a bit too much? I said I wouldn’t run anymore."

Rong Ling turned to Feng Qing and said, "With you, I have absolutely no trust, so this makes me feel more at ease."

With that, Rong Ling ignored Feng Qing, who was fuming, and ordered Uncle Xu, "Uncle, lead the way."

"Alright."

Uncle Xu took the lead, heading out, with Rong Ling pulling Feng Qing’s hand, following Uncle Xu out.

Behind them, Aunt Xu and the cousins watched them leave in a daze. Once Feng Qing gathered herself, she quickly turned and ordered the others, "Send my aunt and cousins back home."

As soon as Feng Qing said this, Rong Ling interjected, "Arrange for them to stay in the guest courtyard."

Feng Qing’s face turned cold as she turned to glare at Rong Ling, saying, "What do you mean? Are you planning to imprison my uncle’s family?"

Rong Ling’s expression turned cold, gazing deeply at Feng Qing and saying, "Is that how you see me, as someone so despicable?"

With those words, a chill spread from him, his entire face exuding a frosty aura.
