Chapter Ninety-Five: Talismans

Feng Ling sneaked back to the Prince's Mansion with the kitten first. She put the contents of the bag into the basement and picked out a few more jewels to hold in her hand. She turned around and entered the Ximei Garden of the crown prince's side concubine.

The crown prince's concubine Wei had earlier received news from the eldest princess's mansion that the prince was dead and asked her to find a way to leave the prince's mansion. She was so anxious about this matter that she was going around the room, not knowing how to pass the news to Feng Ling.

She sighed in the room, and the nurse persuaded her: "The side concubine hasn't eaten for the past two days, and she can't sleep well. ”

Concubine Wei said: "Is there a way for the nurse to send the news to the crown princess?"

The nurse shook her head: "There is no way for the slave to deliver the news to the palace." ”

"Alas, how can I deliver the news to the crown princess?"

Feng Ling asked, "What news do you have to tell this concubine?" she said as she entered the main room.

Concubine Wei couldn't believe her eyes, and stared at Feng Ling: "Crown Princess?"

Feng Ling handed her a few pieces of jewelry: "Well, it's this concubine, this is for you." ”

The side concubine and the nurse hurriedly saluted Feng Ling and greeted him: "The concubine is a concubine to greet the crown princess." "The slave and maid greet the crown princess. ”

Feng Ling sat down on the upper chair: "Get up." This concubine went back to the prince's mansion to pick up something, and came to see you by the way. What news do you have to tell this concubine?"

The side concubine wanted to speak and stopped, Feng Ling stared at her and motioned for her to speak. "Crown Princess, the concubine heard the news from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, saying that the crown prince was dead, and they asked me to leave quickly. ”

Feng Ling was not as anxious as the side concubine imagined, Feng Ling asked, "Is it?

The side concubine shook her head: "No, the concubine will not leave." ”

Feng Ling stood up and said as he walked out, "If you don't leave, you can have a good time in the Prince's Mansion." After speaking, the man disappeared.

Concubine Wei stood indoors and thought about Feng Ling's attitude for a long time, not like the prince had an accident. She put down the toilet and stayed in the prince's mansion with peace of mind, waiting for the princess to return to the house.

When Feng Ling appeared in the Zhenguo Mansion with the kitten, the whole family gathered in the main hall to gossip. They heard the sound of the bell, and the eldest lady said, "This is like the bell ringing on the neck of Feng Ling's kitten." ”

Everyone looked out the door, a person and a cat appeared outside the door, and everyone was overjoyed. The old lady said, "Ling'er is back, come here." The second family, today arrange some food that Ling'er likes to eat. The second lady hurriedly stood up and responded.

Feng Ling walked to the main hall and saluted respectfully: "Ling'er greets grandfather, grandmother, mother, second uncle, second aunt, eldest brother, and third brother." ”

The old lady beckoned: "Ling'er came up and grandmother to see if she had lost weight." ”

Feng Ling walked quickly to the upper position, squatting at the old lady's feet, she gently put her head on the old lady's lap: "Grandmother, Ling'er misses you so much." ”

The old lady stretched out her hand, patted Feng Ling's back and said, "Grandmother also misses Ling'er, we all miss Ling'er." ”

The old man said, "Does Ling'er have any news before the battle?"

Feng Ling stood up and said, "There is news, grandfather, Ling'er has something to report to you privately." ”

She walked over and hugged her mother: "Mother, my father and second brother are coming home soon." ”

She turned her head to the second lady and said, "Second aunt, the fourth brother will also go home with the prince." ”

The second master and the second lady were pleasantly surprised, they looked at Feng Ling with expectant eyes, wanting to know more about their youngest son.

Feng Ling said apologetically to the second master and the two of them: "This matter is very important, Ling'er can only tell my grandfather and eldest brother to act." All you need to know is that all three of them are safe and will be home soon. ”

The second master nodded: "We understand, we are very satisfied to have this news." ”

The second lady said happily: "As long as they come back safely, I will go to the temple to burn incense and make a vow." ”

The eldest lady said, "I will also go to pay my vows." ”

"It's not the time yet, just wait for them to come home. Feng Ling said in a low voice: "Now the mansion must be low-key, there will be a big incident in the capital next." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were amazed, and they wondered in their hearts that something big would happen. Feng Ling continued: "When Ling'er tells his grandfather, he will know how to behave. She looked at her grandfather.

When the old man heard Feng Ling say this, he knew that this matter must be important, so he stood up and asked the prince to take Feng Ling and walk towards his study.

Feng Ling saluted the people in the main hall: "Ling'er retires, see you later." She followed the old man to the study.

The old man's study is located in the east wing of the front yard, and the west wing is the study of the grandfather. The Zhenguo Mansion is respected by the old Guogong, and the deliberations will be in the East Wing.

The three of them entered the study, the old prince sat on the upper seat, and the prince and Feng Ling sat on the left and right sides. The subordinates who were taking care of the front yard saw that the three masters were waiting for them without them, and they knew that they had something to discuss, so they avoided the study from a distance.

Feng Ling motioned for the kitten to guard the door, and she said to the old prince and the prince: "Grandfather, eldest brother, something big will happen in the capital: the mother and son of King Shun and the eldest princess will join forces, and they will rebel." ”

Although the old man has experienced a lot of things, he was also shocked when he heard this: "They are bold and reckless, and they dare to do this disloyal and unfilial thing." ”

Shizi asked puzzledly: "This matter should be very secret, how can Ling'er know about it?"

"This matter was known to the prince letter Ling'er. Feng Ling continued: "The eldest princess has a shadow guard in her hand, and she has always corresponded with the British public. They planned to assassinate the crown prince first, and then the British Duke led a large army to make peace with Ning Guo, and killed his father and brother by the hand of Ning Guo. When this was done, the army was in the hands of the British. The eldest princess and King Shun wanted to seize the throne, and the army forced the palace, and the matter came true. ”

Lao Guogong slapped the chair: "A group of ...... with a thousand cuts"

Shizi hurriedly asked, "What about the assassination?"

Feng Ling said: "The eldest princess sent six shadow guards to assassinate Jing Hong a few days ago, and since she received the news early, Jing Hong had already taken precautions. When he went to assassinate him, he jumped off the cliff and hid in the cave, and the shadow guard thought he was dead, so he returned to Beijing to report the news. ”

The old prince and the prince were terrified when they heard it, what if the prince didn't receive the news in advance?

Feng Ling continued: "Jing Hong is now in control of the British Duke, and the news handed back is all fake. The Ning State has been taken, and a team of Shu troops led by the fourth brother is guarding the Ning State. ”

Hearing this news, the old prince and the prince were overjoyed, nodded and said, "Okay, our little four have also grown up." ”

"The eldest princess has a team of shadow guards, and King Shun has private soldiers. Next, the eldest princess and King Shun will attack His Majesty, and then let the army return to Chang'an to force the palace. So it's been dangerous in the capital lately, and the Zhenguo Mansion has tried to find an excuse not to walk around. ”

The old man sighed: "Wei Yuma has been friends with the old man for many years, and after he was forced to marry the princess, he was depressed, and later jumped off the cliff and died. Now that the eldest princess is involved in the rebellion, the nine clans of the Wei family are also in danger. ”

The people in the Zhenguo Mansion had never heard the old Duke say anything about being friendly with Wei Yuma. Feng Ling said: "Ling'er has never heard my grandfather mention the friendship with the Wei family. ”

Lao Guogong said: "A long time ago, Wei Juma liked riding tactics, and often looked for opportunities to exchange experiences with me. Because he looks like a talent, he is very lofty, and he is looked down on by the princess, forcing him to quit his cousin, who has been married since childhood, and marry the princess. The last time he drank with me, he said: For the sake of the safety of the Zhenguo Gongman, we will break off our friendship from now on. ”

After hearing this, the three of them were silent for a moment. Feng Ling thought in his heart, Wei Juma was a gentleman.

Feng Ling took out a talisman and handed it to the old prince: "This is Jinghong's private soldier talisman." He said that if he hadn't been able to rush back when the capital had changed, he would let his eldest brother use this talisman to call private soldiers. ”

The old prince took the talisman, looked at it a few times, and handed it to the prince: "You put it away, don't show this talisman until the moment of danger." ”

Shizi stood up and saluted, "Grandson, remember grandfather's words. ”
