"Beauty, the king is waiting for you inside. ”

Wang Qing stood respectfully at the door and gently pushed the door of the Chongzheng Hall open.

Duan Lingyan was dressed in simple plain clothes, she hadn't seen her for more than a month, she was much thinner, her makeup was light, there was no beads on her bun, she looked haggard and tired, but the most pitiful thing was her indifferent expression, her eyes were dull, and the whole person no longer had the momentum when she was called Mrs. Duan that day, that is, Wang Qing looked at it with a little sigh.

Duan Lingyan stepped into the door of the hall with a calm expression, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Feng Qin sitting behind the first imperial case.

Her eyes were red, and she stepped forward to the atrium, knelt down and bowed.

"Sin concubine Duan Lingyan, meet the king. ”

Duan Lingyan's palms were folded downward, her forehead was close to the back of her hand, and her body was bent into a humble posture, because Feng Qin had never spoken, she hadn't gotten up for a long time, and she didn't know how long she waited before Feng Qin sighed softly.

"Ling Yan, you have worked hard this time. ”

Duan Lingyan slowly raised her body at this time, she usually wears bright colors on weekdays, but today she is really light in plain clothes, coupled with her slightly reddened eyes and lifeless face, as if she has changed someone, Feng Qin saw her appearance clearly at close range, and her brows furrowed, and her eyes were distressed, "Ling Yan, get up quickly......"

Feng Qin got up from behind the imperial case, walked to Duan Lingyan with distressed eyes and helped her up, looking at her emaciated face, Duan Lingyan grabbed Feng Qin's wrist but didn't dare to look at him, only lowered his head and choked slightly, "Your Majesty, Ling Yan has failed the king's entrustment, and this trip to Huaiyin is really ...... I'm really going to disappoint you. ”

Feng Qin's eyes were full of distress, and he immediately took him into his arms, "Ling Yan, you shouldn't be blamed for this matter, it's really that they themselves are not angry, and the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion is really ...... It's a pity that Luo Shunhua is dead, otherwise how could Lone let him go!"

Duan Lingyan leaned into Feng Qin's arms, his voice trembling slightly, "The Huaiyin Marquis Mansion is very weird, Ling Yan has never protected the two princesses well, although Ling Yan is on the road for half a month, he knows how to say above the court, Ling Yan has caused trouble for the king, Ling Yan ...... Ling Yan no longer had the face to face the king, and Ling Yan wanted to invite himself to Ling Xiao to watch the ......"

Lingxiao Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and the palace concubines who make mistakes in the palace will be sent there to practice atonement.

Feng Qin shook his head when he heard this, "What are you talking about, how can Lone be willing to let you go to Lingxiao Temple, there are too many excerpts in the court, Lone is really not allowed to make a degrading will, the grounding words are just talking, Lone will order someone to arrange, the grounding place will not be worse than the original anyway, you can rest assured that you can take refuge for a few days, and when the limelight passes, Lone will naturally let you return to the position of lady." ”

Duan Lingyan quickly knelt down again when she heard this, but Feng Qin held her down, Duan Lingyan raised his head and choked up, "How dare Ling Yan return to the position of lady? The king is merciful, this time he is very kind, Ling Yan thought on the road that the king was extremely disappointed in Ling Yan this time, and he must have exhausted his past feelings, but this time when he came back, the king was so tolerant of Ling Yan, Ling Yan did not dare to be greedy, he just wanted to live in peace in the palace in the future, and sometimes he could ...... when he saw the king."

After a slight pause, Duan Lingyan lowered his head again and said guiltily, "Ling Yan heard about the Duan clan when he entered Baling...... Ling Yan was born in the Duan clan, and he had already disappointed the king, but he didn't want his clansmen to cause so much trouble to the king. ”

Duan Lingyan burst into tears as he spoke, and his emaciated pale face looked extremely pitiful.

Feng Qin was distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly took her into his arms, "You don't have to blame yourself, Lone Ben feels that he has wronged you this time, how can you still feel guilty about the things in the clan, not to mention that Lone has never blamed you Duan." ”

Duan Lingyan shook his head in Feng Qin's arms, and said with a crying voice, "No, even if the king doesn't say that Ling Yan knows that the Duan family has been powerful over the years, and there are many inappropriate things in his actions, the king is grateful that the Duan family has not pursued the merits of the Shu State, Ling Yan originally wanted to send someone to order one or two with the elders, but the king knew that Ling Yan was from a humble background in the clan, although he was favored by the king in the palace, but he had no right to speak in the clan, and Ling Yan couldn't help the king......"

The more Duan Lingyan spoke, the more choked her voice became, she used to be a bright and noble person, dignified and noble in front of others, and she did not deliberately please Feng Qin, she had both style and style, both on the outside and on the inside, it was amazing, but now that she went out and became so cautious and full of guilt, Feng Qin's heart became more and more unbearable and angry.

"Ling Yan, this matter really has nothing to do with you, you know the situation of the Duan Clan, you don't have to worry about these things, you are tired on the road, and you are so sad at this moment, it is really ...... Let's go and rest first, and I'll see you at night. ”

Ling Yan pushed away from Feng Qin's arms, raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then pulled out a smile and said, "I'm afraid I can't rest, I just came back today, no matter what, I have to go to the queen's sister to say goodbye, and I can't rest until I ask for peace." ”

Feng Qin frowned, and it was even more distressed to see Duan Lingyan so sensible.

Duan Lingyan didn't drag the mud and water, took two steps back and said "Lingyan retreats" and turned around and walked out, watching Duan Lingyan's back disappear at the door of the hall, Feng Qin's brows furrowed fiercely, Feng Qin stood in the atrium for a long time, and after a while, Wang Qing walked in from the door, and sighed when he saw Feng Qin's face, "The king doesn't have to worry, the beauty is not an outsider, she must know your hard work, wait a few days, you can let her return to the position of beauty......"

Feng Qin's fist in his sleeve clenched slightly, "She is indeed responsible for this matter, but she is also innocent, I already feel that she has been wronged, and I will demote her to a beauty at this time, I am afraid that the people in her clan will not let her have a good time." ”

Wang Qing couldn't help but continue to comfort, "How come, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, she will be favored by you......"

Feng Qin snorted coldly when she heard this, "Lone's favor?!Didn't you hear her say, even if she has Lone's favor, she still has no place in the Duan family, what does this mean, it can only show that the Duan family has never put Lone in his eyes at all." ”

The corners of Wang Qing's lips moved and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he thought of and stopped the words that came to his mouth, Feng Qin flicked his sleeves and turned around and sat back behind the imperial case, "Those words you said have been carefully thought about, although now our Shu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom are a little different back then, but the Duan clan still has to guard against doing this, and it can't really get to that point." ”

Wang Qing didn't dare to say much, only respectfully stepped forward to pour tea for Feng Qin, Feng Qin clenched his fists, and chuckled again, "The Duan family is now orphaned, and the queen has not made the slightest movement, she will not understand the truth that even Ling Yan knows......"

Wang Qing pursed his lips, "The queen must be guilty and dare not come to see you." ”

Feng Qin looked at Wang Qing and sneered, "Guilty, Gu saw that she expected that Gu would not do anything to the Duan family, so she was so fearless and disdainful, although Ling Yan was also a person from the Duan family, she was different from her in the end!"

Wang Qing didn't dare to interject, so he didn't answer, Feng Qin thought about it and then remembered something, "Nianqing and Nianjing are back?"

Feng Nianqing is already crazy now, Feng Nianjing is now a corpse, Feng Qin felt a little stunned after asking, Wang Qing also sighed, "And Princess Nianyi is also back, Princess Nianyi and Princess Nianqing have been temporarily sent back to the inner palace, as for the fifth princess, the weather is already a little hot now, although the servants take care of it carefully, but now the five princesses are only afraid that they will not face the king." ”

The weather in the early spring of March is not hot, but it is definitely no longer cold, and Feng Nianjing's body has been delayed on the road for half a month, where can I still see people now, Feng Qin's face was slightly dark, and the whole person stayed for a while before sighing deeply, "Probably ...... It's probably lonely and not blessed, and my daughter is so blessed, leave this matter to you to do, give her enough decency. ”

Wang Qing hurriedly nodded in response, and then remembered one more thing, "Your Majesty, the matter of the Seventh Prince ......"

Feng Qin's dark expression changed suddenly, making people look at some yin owls, Huaiyin event he also had a little thought about the Cangya sword, but he didn't expect that this Huaiyin party not only did not take back the Cangya sword, but also let him fold a son and a daughter, he was in the prime of life, but even lost two sons, no matter how he thought about it, it seemed to be a bad omen, so thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of the reputation of the day, but then thinking of the Yanshu marriage in front of him, he quickly dispelled this thought, "Fourth...... Let's do it with Nianjing, but people can't go into the earth when they die, which is really against the ancestral etiquette. ”

Wang Qing hesitated a little, "But Mrs. Sun ...... there"

Feng Qin sighed again, he understood the pain of Mrs. Sun's loss of her son, and then stood up with a little headache, "It's up to Gu to go and tell her in person, let's take a ride-"

Wang Qing hurriedly led the way, Feng Nianjing and Feng Yan also lost their lives during the trip to Huaiyin, but the death of the two is so different, Feng Yan's biological mother is Mrs. Sun, from the big clan Sun, is the mainstay of Shu, and Feng Nianjing is the daughter's family, and her mother is not as good as Mrs. Sun's status, her mother is only a rich nobleman in Shu, and there is no military and political power in her hands, so Feng Nianjing can be buried without even looking at it as soon as Feng Nianjing comes back, and Feng Yan is not so simple, Feng Yan was implicated and died because of the seventh son's good gambling, Mrs. Sun naturally refused to spare it, and although the biological mother of the seventh prince was just a beauty, she was friendly with the queen, with the queen protecting her, it is really difficult for Mrs. Sun to seek justice for her son.

Feng Qin understands it, but he will never take it lightly.

Duan Lingyan walked all the way to Zhaoyang Hall out of the Chongzheng Palace, she only had four servants following before and after, her clothes were plain, and the people were thin and haggard, she met countless palace people along the way, everyone recognized her, and there were naturally thousands of eyes looking at her, there was no gunpowder smoke in the war in the inner palace, it was customary to welcome the high and step on the low, Duan Lingyan entered the Zhaoren Palace very calmly.

When she walked into the main hall of Zhaoren Palace, Duan Jinyi was already sitting high on the main seat waiting for her, Duan Lingyan quietly and silently bowed, and waited for the people in the hall to be held back Duan Jinyi said softly, "Get up." ”

Duan Lingyan slowly straightened up, and Duan Jinyi, who was on the top, looked at her complexion carefully, then shook his head and sighed with a smile, "Yan'er, I know that you won't let me down, this time you did a good job." ”
