After Concubine Zhen left, there was silence in the imperial study, so quiet that Ling Haoyue could hear Ling Wanrou's heartbeat.

And Zhao looked calm, but in fact, her slightly trembling legs had exposed the fear in her heart.

Ling Guogong knelt on the side, hanging his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, motionless, like a still sculpture.

The emperor didn't speak, and Ling Haoyue didn't want to be a bird, so she stood quietly on the side, ignoring the emperor's seemingly indifferent eyes. The king's heart is unpredictable, and the word is stable.

It took a long time for this silence to be broken.

"Do you know why I called you? The emperor didn't raise his eyelids, and his casual tone made it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Ling Haoyue lowered her eyes and replied: "Haoyue is frightened, and she doesn't dare to assert herself, please ask the emperor to make it clear." "The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, and for this kind of non-salty and indifferent questioning, he will answer it smoothly.

"Hmph!" the emperor snorted coldly and said, "Duchess Ling Guo took Miss Ling to shout grievances at the palace gate, and said that you were also present, so I know what happened best." ”

Ling Haoyue's eyes were slightly cold, and she looked straight at Ling Wanrou, adding oil and vinegar has always been the strength of this mother and daughter, Ling Haoyue used her toes to know what Ling Wanrou was thinking about at the moment, and she would have to pull a cushion back if she died.

Sure enough, Ling Wanrou replied to her with a sneer, as if to say: Hmph, I have something to do, don't think about it.

A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of Ling Haoyue's lips, did she think that the emperor's cold snort was aimed at herself? Ling Wanrou really thought that everyone looked like her?

The emperor is the king of a country, what kind of person has never seen it, Ling Wanrou's little trick dares to show off in front of the emperor.

It's just strange why Ling Guogong didn't stop him? He has been an official for many years, so it is impossible not to understand.

Ling Haoyue suppressed the doubts in her heart and replied calmly: "The courtiers dare not deceive the emperor, the courtiers went to the Liuli Pavilion with a few sisters to buy things that day, although they had witnessed the whole thing, but the eldest sister was the elder, and the courtiers never interjected a word, the so-called grievances of the eldest sister, forgive Haoyue did not understand." ”

Before the emperor could speak, Ling Wanrou burst into tears and said with grievances: "Second sister, how can you say that, don't you just blame me for not choosing jewelry for you first." Let's go out of the same house together, in the end, we are all women of the Ling family. ”

Ling Haoyue was angry, Ling Wanrou really pushed things on her head quietly.

Sure enough, they turned this into a big thing, and it directly involved the dispute of sister discord.

"Where does the eldest sister say, Your Majesty Shengming, I will deal with it impartially, just as the eldest sister said that my maid killed your maid, I didn't just hand her over to Jingzhao Mansion, and the mansion Yin will investigate clearly and act according to the law. ”

Jing Zhao Mansion! Ling Wanrou's heart jumped, how could she forget this stubble!

Ling Haoyue knelt down towards the emperor again and said: "Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter is a woman surnamed Ling, and her speech may be biased. Miss Wen, Miss Liu, who is still the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and others are here, Your Majesty might as well summon other irrelevant people to come and interrogate. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Gong next to him: "Spread the people from the Yuanhou Mansion in the town." ”

"Second sister, you ...... Are you really going to kill me!" Ling Wanrou said with a cry, still playing the role of a weak little white flower.

"Big sister, this matter involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, Your Majesty is a headache, you don't want to find a way to share your Majesty's worries, and you are still crying out for yourself, Haoyue is really ...... Alas!"

Pretend, who wouldn't!Ling Haoyue's tone was full of heartache, as a minister, everything should be on the grounds that the monarch is worried, and the trouble was caused by you Ling Wanrou, so that the emperor lost his dignity in front of Nanqi in vain, but now it is good, he only knows how to cry and cry grievances, and he will not think about how to atone for his sins.

Smack! I just heard a crisp sound sound. Ling Wanrou's fair face suddenly had five finger prints on it.

"Father......" Ling Wanrou covered her face and looked at Ling Guogong.

Seeing that Ling Guogong waved over with another backhand, Zhao hurriedly pulled Ling Wanrou over, crying and said, "Grandpa Guo, Rou'er is your biological daughter after all." Fang Cai's slap directly made Ling Wanrou's hair messy, tears were left behind, her makeup was blurred, her beautiful face in the past was red and white, and with those five thick finger prints, Miss Ling was like a street singer.

Ling Guogong also burst into tears, and it took a long time to put the raised slap up, turned around, and kowtowed deeply to the emperor three times: "Your Majesty, as a courtier, the minister eats the king's fortune, but he fails to bear the king's worries, the goddaughter is not strict, and he has caused a big disaster, begging His Majesty to forgive him, and the minister has no complaints!"

"Aiqing, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you, you get up. These heartfelt words moved the emperor deeply.

Ling Guogong did not get up, he still knelt on the ground, and said righteously: "The minister is a father, but he has never taught his children well, how can he take on the post of commanding the southern Xinjiang border, and ask the emperor to take back the military power, my Western Qin talents are numerous, and I have the talents to take over this great task!"

The hands are presented, and in the middle is the tiger talisman given by the emperor himself.

A sneer rose at the corner of Ling Haoyue's lips, Ling Guogong was really the same as in his previous life.

She clearly remembers that something big will happen in southern Xinjiang in the near future.

The princes are getting older, and the emperor has long had the intention of taking back the military power, so he was naturally happy with what Ling Guogong presented with his hands, and nodded slightly to Gonggong Liu next to him.

At this time, I heard the palace people tell Wen Mohan that the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion had arrived.

Wen Mohan walked in, and before he could salute, the emperor said, "Excuse me, let's talk about the matter in Liuli Pavilion that day." The emperor rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, working hard for this matter.

Wen Mohan described the scene of the day, without adding oil and vinegar, and purely said what happened.

After hearing this, the emperor said lightly: "Ling Wanrou, what else do you have to say!" was not angry or happy, but Ling Haoyue knew that the anger in the emperor's heart had subsided because of that tiger talisman.

Ling Haoyue didn't feel disappointed, she still preferred to do it herself when dealing with Zhao and Ling Wanrou. And she felt that Qi Yan didn't think about what to do with them, after all, the prince of a country couldn't get along with the daughter of an official family of another country, and Qi Yan's face might not look good when this word came out.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers really don't know that it is dedicated to the Queen Mother, and they don't know that the person is the sixth prince of Southern Qi, and she begs the emperor for mercy. Ling Wanrou cried and begged for mercy, she didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die.

The Zhao family also begged: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Lingguo Mansion's loyalty for many years, spare the little girl." He looked at Ling Guogong next to him, Ling Guogong just presented the tiger talisman, the emperor was obviously a little happy, as long as he was willing to intercede, the emperor might not spare Ling Wanrou for his sake.

However, Ling Guogong was silent, only with a look of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

Instead, Ling Haoyue spoke: "Your Majesty, although this matter was caused by the eldest sister, the eldest sister did not know about it in advance, and the queen mother was merciful and would not criticize the eldest sister for this matter." In Western Qin, there are rules of Western Qin, and Your Majesty Shengming will handle it impartially, but if it is completely in accordance with the will of the six princes of Southern Qi, it will not lose its dignity. ”

The emperor's sharp gaze shot at Ling Haoyue, who stood neither humble nor arrogant, letting the emperor look at her.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have an idea. At this time, Wen Mohan suddenly said loudly.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at him: "Let's hear it." ”

Wen Mohan said eloquently: "Speaking of this matter, it is all the meaning of the six princes, if the emperor comes forward to negotiate with the six princes, it is indeed inappropriate, and the matter caused by the daughter's family will be solved by the female dependents, it is better to ask the imperial concubine to mediate, the imperial concubine is the aunt of the six princes, and the six princes will not give this face." ”

Zhao's eyes grunted, this idea was very good, and he hurriedly begged: "Ask the emperor to be gracious and allow the concubine to take the little girl to Chaohua Palace to plead with the imperial concubine." ”

Ling Wanrou also begged for mercy: "Ask the emperor for mercy, the courtiers will definitely make up for their merits, and the courtiers will definitely ask for the mother's consent." ”

Zhao quietly grabbed Ling Wanrou, the force was not great, but Ling Wanrou didn't scream.

Why is this daughter so unable to speak, what does it mean that she will definitely ask for her mother's consent, is this a crying, making trouble, and threatening the imperial concubine with a threat. And if the imperial concubine does not agree, how should she explain to the emperor.

"Your Majesty is not proper, the sixth prince is annoying Miss Ling at this moment, if she goes to ask the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine may not agree, I am afraid it will backfire. Wen Mohan continued, "The grass people think that this matter is the most suitable for the county lord of Haoyue to go. ”

His Majesty rolled his eyes slightly and said, "What is the reason for this?"

"The county lord of Haoyue is surnamed Ling, and she is the cousin of Miss Ling, and her sister intercedes for her sister, which is reasonable, and the county lord of Haoyue is quiet and the most intelligent, and she will definitely be able to convince the imperial concubine. ”

Ling Haoyue slandered: Wen Mohan can really find trouble for me, if you want to be in the limelight, why do you need to bring me.

Judging from Wen Mohan's step-by-step strategy in his previous life, he must have his purpose, but what is he for?

"Yue'er, you just agreed. Surprisingly, Ling Guogong, who had been beside him without speaking, actually spoke, and the first thing he said was to ask Ling Haoyue to agree.

Ling Haoyue knelt down towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers saw that the eldest sister made a mistake but did not stop it, the courtiers are guilty, please give the courtiers a chance to make up for their mistakes." ”

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, not to mention that it is not yet the time when Ling Wanrou must die.

"Accurate!" came the emperor's calm voice.

Zhao and Ling Wanrou finally let go of the stone in their hearts, but the next sentence made their hearts drop to the freezing point again.
