On the other side, Fei Tong had already gone back with He Yu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Fei Tong couldn't help but ask again, "You haven't told me what exactly you prepared for Jin Ling." ā
He Yu responded happily this time: "Radish, take it in the kitchen!"
"Radish?" Fei Hitomi was a little incredulous, "What did you give him a radish?"
He Yu pouted, "He was originally a big radish, on the one hand, he showed favor to you, and said that he would take you away, but on the other hand, he went to hook up with the dream concubine, what did he not send a radish, is there anything better than this?"
Hearing her words, Fei Tong was really speechless, and he really admired He Yu's idea, but it didn't matter, whatever he gave was the same.
"By the way, Heyu, there is not much time left before the sacrificial ceremony, and I don't want to show my head too much during this time. ā
He Yu was silent for a moment, "You won't be because you want to hide from Jin Ling, right?"
Fei Tong ignored her, went to play with the little letter bird by himself, and muttered: "I'll call you radish in the future, radish, you grow up quickly, fly to Jin Ling as soon as possible and don't come back." ā
"Poof......" He Yu couldn't help but laugh secretly when she heard this, she didn't expect her to have such a side, but after laughing, she was a little worried.
She really cares about Jin Ling, otherwise how could she be angry, but she is the future high priest, how can she like others......
She sighed again, if only Hitomi was just an ordinary woman.
Jin Ling is not having as much fun as before, with the help of the Yin family's father and son, he is now gradually starting to contact the courtiers and secretly expand his power.
Because the emperor originally intended to test this son, he just didn't hear some rumors, and ran to the Shuyang Palace all day long, and the palace was full of Meng Yao's flute every day. But the queen didn't seem to be worried at all, if it were in the past, a person who was so in the limelight and had a sacred heart would have died hundreds of times.
Yin Zheng is the god of war of Dayuan, and his standing on Jin Ling's side undoubtedly gave Jin Ling a strong pillar, and although Jin Qiao's father-in-law is the prime minister, he is only an official, and there is still a gap between him and Yin Zheng.
At present, Jin Ling's plan is to follow Yin Zheng and gradually get involved in the court, and then support Meng Yao to take the throne after his strength is stable, and gradually infiltrate his power into every corner.
Everything is also going well, and many people in the court have objections to Jin Qiao, but they dare not say it explicitly, now that there is Jin Ling's personal choice, they naturally chose to stand in line without hesitation.
In just a few days, Jin Ling has dug up all the power of Jin Qiao in the Ministry of War, and Zhou Hua, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, bent the law for personal gain, and secretly bought weapons on the black market in order to fill his pockets and was found out by Yin Qian, and after the matter was revealed, Emperor Jin Xiang was furious, and immediately ordered him to be sent to Lingnan, and all his family members were slaves.
Jin Qiao couldn't sit still at this time, and he was very angry that such a general in his hand was folded like this, but he couldn't keep it.
Angry, he jumped over the wall in a hurry and poked out Jin Ling's deeds of mixing with the people and snatching beauties from people in the court, but these old things did not make Jin Xiang have any dissatisfaction with Jin Ling, but only verbally blamed him, the skin was not painful and the flesh was not itchy, which made him very angry.
When you are busy, time always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is seven days before the sacrifice ceremony. The palace is getting busier and busier now, especially the Ministry of Rites, which is almost going to fry, and Gonggong Li can't sleep every day, lest he do something wrong with the sacrificial ceremony.
And at this time, Jin Ling suddenly received a message, Meng Yao said that he had something urgent to find him, and asked him to meet, and the address was selected in Yuhua Palace.
Jin Ling frowned, he didn't know if she was in a hurry to find him at this time, but he went after hesitating.
He didn't tell Yin Qian the news, Yin Qian trusted Meng Yao very much, even if he really had any suspicions about her, he wouldn't rashly bring it up again without definitive evidence. After all, Meng Yao did enter the palace for herself.
At the appointed time in the evening, Jin Ling changed into a black robe and secretly went to Yuhua Palace to avoid everyone.
Meng Yao had been waiting there for a long time, and she was very happy to see Jin Ling coming, and trotted to him.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to talk to him, Jin Ling said first: "We have to minimize private meetings, this is very dangerous." ā
The smile on Meng Yao's face froze, "I know you've been busy lately, but I do have something important to tell you today." ā
"You say. ā
Jin Ling's attitude was not enthusiastic, which made Meng Yao a little embarrassed, she took a deep breath, "I went to Fengqi Palace today to greet the queen, and I overheard a shocking secret. ā
Speaking of this, she looked around for a moment, and after making sure that it was quiet enough, she continued: "The crown princess also entered the palace today, and I heard their conversation. Shao Si Ming offended them fiercely last time, and they were ready to attack Shao Si Ming. ā
Jin Ling's heart tightened, how dare they?
"You're really bold enough, so how are they going to deal with Hitomi?"
The light in Meng Yao's eyes dimmed, and she continued: "Before the sacrificial ceremony, Jin Qiao got a medicine from Miao Jiang that could allow people to continue their lives without abnormalities after being poisoned, but at a certain moment, they suddenly died. They just wanted Shao Si Ming to die in front of all the people on the day of the sacrifice ceremony. ā
A sentence from her mouth made Jin Ling's heart beat, and a burst of cold air emanated from his body, the queen was so vicious! The mother concubine died of poisoning at the beginning, and now she actually wants to use her old trick to deal with Hitomi again!
If Hitomi was really poisoned and died violently at the sacrificial ceremony, then the people's hearts would be in turmoil, and the high priest would definitely be questioned.
When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable.
His brow furrowed together, his teeth almost crushed.
Meng Yao continued: "It's only a few days before the sacrificial ceremony, you have to be careful, if something really happens, you must remember to ask your father-in-law for help, he has a lot of power, he will definitely be able to help something." ā
She said this very vaguely, as if to imply something.
Jin Ling sneered, "Don't worry, I will never let the queen touch a single hair of the people in Wuyang Palace!"
Meng Yao looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a while, she lowered her head, "Okay, it's time for me to go back, I've already finished what I should say, think about what to do yourself." ā
"Thank you. ā
Jin Ling thanked her, which was sincere.
Meng Yao pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly, "What I need is never your 'thank you'." ā
After saying that, she walked away without looking back.
Jin Ling looked at her back and was silent for a while, then took a step and walked in another direction.
He's going to Wuyang Palace.
