The eunuch went as ordered, and Concubine Shangshou's face was immediately covered with a hint of displeasure as if she had failed, and she looked at Concubine Xiang who was still kneeling in front of the emperor, and at this time, the emperor also seemed to feel pity, and hurriedly held Concubine Xiang's hand and gently pulled her up.

"Aifei, you should get up too! This matter has wronged you, and I will definitely find out who is behind the murder of my beloved concubine! ”

The emperor said this, and then changed the conversation and asked Jiang Ling: "However, I heard that your life in Guangning Bofu was not satisfactory, and Mrs. Han did not treat you as a daughter, so she let you stay in the middle age of the boudoir and have not married, although Han Mo dedicated you to me is also a credit, and I also rewarded him, but I love you even more." ”

Speaking of this, he actually asked, "Are you really willing to go back to that Guangning Bo Mansion again?" ”

At this time, the two eunuchs put Yang Qiuxuan, who was disguised as Lingxi, into the main hall, Han Ling and Jiang Ling's eyes fell on Yang Qiuxuan's face at the same time, just when Han Ling was fascinated and unconsciously wet his eyes, King Jing shook her slender hand again as a warning, and Han Ling suppressed the feelings that were almost gushing out from the bottom of his heart and retracted his gaze.

Jiang Ling was still hesitating, but seeing the expectant expression on Han Ling's face, and thinking of Yang Qiuxuan's suffering in the palace with her, she finally nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Although Mrs. Han doesn't like concubines, but her father was very good to her concubines when she was alive, the emperor, the concubine's father died suddenly when the concubine and the concubine died, this has always been a knot in the concubine's heart, the concubine can not fulfill his filial piety during his lifetime, if the emperor can let the concubine return to Ning to find out about this matter, but this has been a wish for many years, and the concubine has no regrets in this life! I beg the emperor to fulfill it! ”

Jiang Ling's sudden words suddenly made Han Ling's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but be stunned and confused.

Is she saying that her grandfather Han Shao's death was not a natural death, but that there was an unknown secret hidden in the Guangning Bo Mansion?

"When Han Shao was an official, he was honest all his life, and I also admired him very much, none of the heirs of the Han family and his father, I also deeply regret this, my concubine is filial piety and sincerity, if you want to go back to Ningcha This matter, of course I will not stop it!"

"Then the emperor has promised his concubines!" Jiang Ling cried with joy and said, in fact, her heart was already full of sorrow, in the past seven years in the palace, although she has made a lot of enemies, but she has also planned and operated a road of her own, before the revenge of the Jiang family, she is actually not willing to leave this palace.

The emperor caressed her hand lovingly and nodded, and then cast his gaze on Han Ling.

"Yang Aling, I have also heard of you, you have an extraordinary temperament at a young age, when your grandfather's family was wronged, you would rather choose to return to the Yang family with your mother, and change your surname to Yang, and live and die together with the Yang family, the robbery of Jinyi Prison that year was also because of you, yes or no?"

Han Ling's heart jumped suddenly, the reason why the emperor knew these things must have been told by Lu Bing, and he didn't know how much Lu Bing told him, why did the emperor mention it?

Yang Qiuxuan was also a little anxious when she heard it on the side. After Han Ling hesitated for a while, he replied decisively: "Yes!" ”

The Emperor asked, "Then who is the person who kidnapped you?" Why did he want to kidnap your little girl instead of the rest of the Yang family? ”

Han Ling pondered for a moment and replied truthfully: "The one who kidnapped the people's girl is a Japanese!" This Japanese set his sights on the Minnu on the way back to Yang's house with her mother, and he seemed to be looking for something, because the Minnu deceived him into knowing the whereabouts of that thing, so he kept an eye on the Minnu and did not hesitate to break into the Jinyi Prison! ”

"Oh? What's that? The emperor asked again with curiosity.

Han Ling raised his head slightly, and Zhengse replied, "It's a box!" It's a box stolen from Yanfu by a maid next to the mother! ”

"What kind of box will make this Japanese target? Is there any rare treasure in there? ”

"There are no rare treasures! However, the people's daughter knew that the box contained some evidence of the secret communication between Yan Xiang's father and son and the framing of important ministers in the court, including the case of the Yang family seven years ago and the case of the Jiang family fourteen years ago! ”

"Bold!"

As soon as Han Ling's words fell, he heard a loud bang, but it was the emperor who slapped a hand on the sandalwood table beside him. I didn't expect the emperor to suddenly become angry, everyone in the main hall was silent, and Jiang Ling and Yang Qiuxuan's expressions were also shocked!

King Jing immediately pulled Han Ling to his knees.

"Father's anger, Yang Ling is still young, what she said today is probably hearsay, and I ask my father to forgive her disrespectful words for the sake of her young and not good at words!"

Han Ling glanced at King Jing and didn't speak, but the emperor sneered: "Not good at words? In my opinion, this girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth! I'm curious, what did the people of the Yang family usually teach you? ”

Han Ling hurriedly propped up the ground with one hand, and replied very calmly: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter just answered the emperor's question truthfully, and she didn't dare to deceive the emperor with half a lie, the people's daughter didn't know which sentence angered the emperor, and asked the emperor to forgive me!"

The expression on the emperor's face changed slightly, quite stiff, he looked at Han Ling's pure eyes for a long time, and he didn't feel a trace of self-deprecation in his heart, how could he be so out of shape in front of a little girl? Could it be that the incident of fourteen years ago was a constant reminder of the mistakes he had made?

So, after the emperor was silent for a long time, he also waved his hand slightly and said, "That's it! I'm just asking! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at King Jing again and asked Han Ling, "How many are you proficient in the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics?" ”

Han Ling was slightly stunned again, and looked at the emperor a little strangely, wondering why this emperor wanted to ask her so many questions today?

After a slight pause, she raised her head again and replied honestly: "Back to the emperor, the six arts of the gentleman, although the folk girls are all involved, but none of them are proficient, although the folk girls grew up in the Yang family, but several uncles love the folk girls very much, and they are reluctant to suffer hardships for the folk girls, so they do not strictly discipline the folk girls, and the folk girls spend a lot of time studying medicine. ”

"Doesn't your mother teach you either? Although the Yang family is a family of military generals, it also pays attention to the inheritance of poetry and etiquette in teaching children. ”

Was he trying to ask his mother? Or do you want to inquire about the Yang family?

Han Ling was hesitant in his heart, and he couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, so he had to reply: "Mother did teach the folk girl piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and riding archery, but the folk girl is not very talented, and she has only learned a little fur!" ”

The emperor seemed to be extremely disappointed with Han Ling when he heard this, and after his eyes lingered on King Jing's body for a moment, he finally waved his hand and told him to retreat with Han Ling.

"You asked my father to let Concubine Xiang return to Ning to visit relatives, but you have other plans?" Walking on the way to the palace, King Jing couldn't help but ask Han Ling, who had been silent.

Han Ling frowned, but she kept thinking about what Emperor Jingxi had said to her and what had happened in the harem.

If it weren't for her coming to the palace in time with King Jing, Concubine Lu Jing would have lost her life, and this incident would definitely be blamed on her mother and Aunt Qingluo.

It's a one-trick move, killing two birds with one stone! Not only can you get rid of Concubine Lu Jing, but you can also pull down Concubine Xiang who is favored by the emperor's side at the same time!

Who is that Shang Shou Concubine? Who is behind this?

In any case, this harem is not a place to stay for a long time, and she really can't see her mother stay in this dark place anymore!

"Yang Ling, I know what you have to do, but you have to reconsider this matter, otherwise, after the defeat, you will not only be your Aunt Qingluo and your mother!"

King Jing was still trying to persuade him, but Han Ling suddenly shouted in a very bad mood: "I'll do my own thing, what's your business!" ”

The two of them suddenly stopped on the forest path full of peony flowers, the snow-white peony flowers flew in the wind, wandering like white snow among the clothes raised by the two, and soon several palace maids walking nearby were attracted to them, laughing and whispering to the two figures through the sparse green branches.

"I'm sorry, His Royal Highness King Jing, I'm in a bad mood today, and my words are so offended, please forgive me!"

Han Ling didn't want others to see any clues, so he hurriedly gave a salute to King Jing and said politely.

"What I promised King Jing, I will definitely do it! From today onwards, I will find a way to break into the inner houses of those wealthy and noble families in the capital and help you find out the details of some people! ”

King Jing saw the flickering tears in this girl's eyes, and couldn't help but soften his heart, and replied lightly: "I don't need to worry about my affairs, no matter what, this king hopes that you can save one of your lives!" ”

Han Ling smiled slightly, didn't answer, and was about to turn around and continue walking forward when he suddenly heard a very loud and tough voice coming!

"Brother Huang, is this enjoying the scenery in front of the beautiful flowers and talking about the romance?"

With this voice came a very tall young man, this man was dressed in the prince's clothes, although his temperament was noble, but his appearance was not so outstanding, his complexion was dark, and his body was burly, which was the opposite of King Jing's graceful elegance. If it weren't for the identity symbolized by his dress, Han Ling would never have imagined that this person would be King Jing's brother and Emperor Jingxi's other prince, King Yu!

In fact, His Royal Highness King Yu looks more like Emperor Jingxi, and King Jing's appearance is elegant and feminine, and he is more inclined to his mother.

King Yu was only a month older than King Jing, but in his previous life, because he was one month older, the ministers in the cabinet led by Gao Gong supported King Yu's side and forced Emperor Jingxi to set up King Yu as the crown prince.

"Why did the imperial brother come to this palace today?" King Jing gave a salute to King Yu and replied politely.

But King Yu kept his eyes on Han Ling's face, and after looking at it for a while, there was a trace of disappointment and disdain in his eyes.

"I thought she was a beauty like Mrs. Yang, but I didn't want to ......" King Yu chuckled, turned to King Jing's side, and whispered, "It seems that the emperor's brother has wronged himself very much in order to win over the Yang family?" ”

"However, Yang Mingyu, the attached horse of the dynasty, will soon come to the capital, I heard that General Yang has made a great contribution to the garrison in Nanjing, and his father may also add him to the rank of knight, so that he can enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty in this capital! After all, there is no war to fight in Nanjing, so why bother to let our attached master suffer outside, Brother Huang, don't you say? ”

When King Yu said this, he suddenly smiled loudly and strode towards the direction of Yaohua Palace, leaving King Jing and Han Ling in shock!

Han Ling suddenly thought of what the fifth uncle had told her about the fourth uncle coming to the capital, could it be that the fourth uncle was not just for her, but the emperor secretly ordered him to return to Beijing? What King Yu said just now means is that the emperor is going to cut off the military power of his fourth uncle?

Looking at the back of King Yu leaving for a long time, a bad conjecture suddenly rose in Han Ling's heart: King Yu? Could it be that he is behind all this?

With these questions, when Han Ling and King Jing walked out of the palace together, they didn't expect to meet another person, originally this person was the emperor's personal guard, and it was not strange to appear by the emperor's side from time to time, but thinking of the words that the emperor asked her today, she felt that the emperor must have some mystery when he suddenly summoned this person?

This person is Lu Bing!

As soon as Lu Bing entered the palace, he was summoned into the emperor's imperial study, and the emperor ordered all the palace maids and eunuchs serving around him to retreat, and said to Lu Bing: "I once sent you a secret edict, asking you to go to the Nangong family to search for a person, and bring back that person's head, you brought it back, and told me that you destroyed everyone in the Nangong family!" But today, Yang Ling, the little girl, told me that what she learned was the medical skills of the Nangong family, and that the person who taught her medical skills was a hidden master. ”

"I will ask you again now, are the people of the Nangong family still lucky enough to survive in this world?"

Lu Bing immediately knelt down and replied: "The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, the Nangong clan has indeed been all caught under the pursuit of the minister, and it is impossible for anyone to survive a fire on Kunlun Mountain, unless ......" He paused for a moment and continued, "There is a master from outside the world to save him!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he was a little impatient, he shook his hand, and said, "There are always these old things to annoy me, so that my heart is not steady!" ”

"And the box that the girl said, and the Japanese, you can also check it out for me! Don't let that box fall into anyone's hands! If you find it, you will destroy it immediately! ”

"Yes! Emperor! Lu Bing nodded to the ground on one knee, bowed down and answered, and his eyes became gloomy.

"By the way, how is Xu Shuxuan, the prince of Wei, now? Is his illness better?" the Emperor asked abruptly changing the subject.

Lu Bing raised his head in astonishment, Xu Shuxuan's mother is from the Nangong family, and the emperor is also afraid of this amazing young talent, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced the boy to drink the wine......

"I'm afraid the son of the world's illness will not be cured, and everyone in the world says that he may not live for ten days!" He replied.

The Emperor sighed and said, "It's a pity that I didn't want his life in the first place!" I need a talent like him too! But ......"

As soon as he finished sighing at this sentence, the voice of Gonggong Wei suddenly shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

"What's all the fuss about?" The emperor answered in displeasure, but heard the Duke of Wei shouting: "The prince of Wei asks to see!" ”

The Emperor's face changed abruptly.

"The prince of Wei asks to see?" He asked incredulously, and then turned his questioning gaze to Lu Bing.

Isn't he bedridden and too sick to wake up? Isn't he getting better?

Lu Bing's face also showed a glow of disbelief, Xu Shuxuan would enter the palace at this time to ask to see the emperor? What is he here for? (To be continued.) )
