Chapter 56: Shock (2)

Uncle Ling has always been concerned about the East Palace, and when he married the Jiang family as his daughter-in-law, he also took a fancy to the in-law relationship between the Jiang family and the East Palace.

It's a pity that the Jiang family is only the concubine of the side branch of the Jiang family, and although she moves around with the British Mansion on weekdays, she is not close to the Crown Princess of the East Palace - if you want to be closer, you don't have this qualification.

I didn't expect that today's flying disaster would have a relationship with the grandson, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

It's a lifesaver. In the future, I will have to go to the East Palace to thank you, and it will not be abrupt to please you.

Moreover, the crown prince was injured when leading his troops on an expedition a few years ago, and his health has not been good since then. Most of the affairs of the East Palace are presided over by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.

The emperor's grandson has been wise since he was a child, and he will never forget it. At the age of ten, he read through the Four Books and Five Classics, and at the age of twelve, he was proficient in poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After the age of twelve, he handled the affairs of the East Palace on behalf of the crown prince, shrewdly and deeply, and acted decisively, even more than the prince back then.

The emperor loves his youngest son, King Yan, and attaches great importance to this eldest grandson. The crown prince is not in good health, and the position of the East Palace is naturally coveted. However, because the crown prince is extremely favored by the emperor, no one can shake the crown prince's position as the prince.

Thinking of the opportunity to meet the imperial grandson, Uncle Ling was overjoyed in his heart, and his mood was bright after being frightened for a night.

Uncle Ling's good mood is obvious.

Ling Jingshu didn't have to make much effort to guess why Uncle Ling was happy. My heart moved quietly.

Perhaps, this is also a great opportunity for her!

To deal with the Lu family, to deal with the power-leaning harem Empress Xu and Princess Changping, with her own strength, it is absolutely impossible to do it. If you can use the power of the East Palace, it will be possible to use one qiē

In her previous life, she was far away in Jizhou. I don't know much about the things in the capital. However, she has also heard of Yi Chu, which shocked the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the wedding of the emperor's grandson, there were no heirs. coincided with the great drought in Shanxi, suffering from the plague of locusts, floating corpses all over the field, and the government and the opposition were shocked. The crown prince of the Eastern Palace went out of Beijing to inspect the relief. On the way, he was assassinated by an unknown Assassin. The prince was shocked to hear the bad news and vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Seriously ill.

The emperor was heartbroken and his eldest grandson died. Long Yan was furious, thoroughly investigated the assassination, and finally found the body of King Kang of An. The emperor was furious. Put the two princes under house arrest in the palace.

The prince's body became weaker and weaker day by day, and Empress Xu took the opportunity to win over the officials of the court and the central government to build momentum for King Yan. The emperor already loves his young son, but he can't help the wind in his ears. Finally, I moved the idea of replacing the prince.

No one can tell the bloody wind in the process, and Ling Jingshu, who was imprisoned in the Lu family, could not know the inside story. The only thing she knows is that the ultimate winner is Queen Xu's mother and son.

King Yan became the prince. Enthroned as emperor. After Empress Xu became the Empress Dowager Xu, she secretly issued a secret decree to the Lu family. That secret decree also became her talisman

She wants revenge, and taking refuge in this imperial grandson seems to be the best choice.

The premise is that the imperial grandson should not be as short-lived as in his previous life

After returning to the cabin. Light the menorah first.

Bai Yu waited for Ling Jingshu to take off her bloodstained dress and put it on a clean new dress. The long hair that was scattered behind him was also combed into a simple bun.

"The blood-stained dress, the slave and maid put it away first. Later, I quietly took it to the kitchen and burned it. Bai Yu said in a low voice.

Ling Jingshu's eyes were a little complicated, and she hummed softly. After a while, he whispered, "Bai Yu." If you saw me kill someone today, will you be afraid of me? ”

Bai Yu replied without thinking: "How could it be." The slave only hated that she was far away at that time, and there was no dagger in her hand, otherwise, she would not have to do it herself. ”

Ling Jingshu's heart warmed.

Bai Yu sighed worriedly again: "The slave maid is only worried now that once this matter spreads, it will damage the reputation of the young lady. It's always not nice to talk about family affairs in the future."

Who would dare to marry a woman who had killed someone as a daughter-in-law?

"It's okay for me," Ling Jingshu threw down a sentence lightly, "I have no plans to get married." ”

Bai Yu: ""

Bai Yu bitterly comforted: "Miss, this kind of thought is unacceptable. After all, a woman has to marry and have children."

A knock on the door interrupted Bai Yu: "It's me, open the door." ”

It's Ling Ji!

Bai Yu hurriedly opened the door, Ling Ji walked in, and gently put the thing in his hand on the table: "Ashu, this is your thing." ”

It's her dagger!

The blood on it had been rinsed clean.

Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Cousin, I"

"I have commanded tonight's events to go down, and no one is to spread them." Ling Ji quickly interrupted Ling Jingshu: "As for the guards of the East Palace, Commander Wang has also issued a strict order that no one is allowed to mention tonight's incident. I won't tell my father about it. So, you don't have to worry. ”

No one will know that you killed a bandit tonight!

Ling Jingshu was a little surprised, but more moved and grateful: "Cousin, thank you." ”

Ling Ji sighed and said with a look of shame: "If you say thank you, it should be our family who wants to thank you." If it weren't for you, those bandits would have killed us before they left. ”

And we, on the other hand, watched you go with the gangsters.

Looking at the guilt on Ling Ji's face, Ling Jingshu's heart swelled with warmth.

In her previous life, she had never had any contact with this cousin, and she didn't have any affection. After a few days of contact in this life, I gave birth to brother and sister affection.

"Cousin doesn't have to blame himself." Ling Jingshu's tone also became brisk: "If it was you at that time, you would definitely make the same choice as me." Fortunately, His Royal Highness Taisun rescued us in time, and we were all safe. ”

Ling Ji also smiled and sighed, "Yes! I've never experienced such a thrilling night in my life. It's enough to make me remember it for the rest of my life. ”

After a pause, he said, "Many of the guards were injured this time, and most of the boatmen were also injured. It seems that the waterway is not very smooth. It is best to return to Beijing with His Royal Highness the Grand Sun. Not only can you borrow some manpower, but you can also be safer on the road. ”

The night attack by the bandits is really terrifying.

It's still with the imperial grandson to return to Beijing with his heart to be sure.

Ling Jingshu was also secretly planning how to approach this imperial grandson, and echoed with a smile when she heard this: "My cousin is thoughtful, and what he said is extremely true. ”

As he was talking, Ling Xiao, who had changed into new clothes, also came over.

Ling Jingshu immediately put away the dagger and put it back under the pillow.

The corners of Ling Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to say, "It's better to put such a dangerous thing in the box and don't put it under the pillow", but then thought about it again, the world is impermanent, who knew that he would encounter bandits tonight, so he used this dagger?

So, Ling Ji silently stopped.

Perhaps, in the future, he should quietly get a sharp dagger to defend himself
