When Long Yuze rushed to the inn, Lin Ling had already fallen asleep.

"All this is a deception made by Concubine Chen!" Ah Xin said angrily, "Lord, Concubine Chen took away the little master, forced the young lady to leave the prince, and made the young lady swear that she would not let the prince know about it!" For the sake of the little master, the young lady can only be forced to obey Concubine Chen's orders! I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect it to be ......" Ashin said and said, his voice was low, and he felt heartache when he thought of Lin Ling's unrecognizable face.

Long Yuze only saw that Lin Ling's face was tightly wrapped in gauze, so he was not as heartbroken as Ashin. But when she thought that all of this was caused by Chen Huiniang, she couldn't help but clench her fists. When he was imprisoned, he was able to see Lin Ling smoothly, and he also benefited from Chen Huiniang's help, so he believed that she was not the queen's person and no longer guarded against her.

But thinking about it from another angle, after he is safe and sound, won't Chen Huiniang target Lin Ling with one eye like before, and will inevitably drive Lin Ling out of the Qing Palace, and drive him out of the capital again? Therefore, for the safety of Xiao Ling'er and for the child to no longer be coerced, he must remove Chen Huiniang from his life.

Long Yuze prepared a wide carriage with more than a dozen layers of brocade quilts and fox fur in it, and even if he walked on the mountain road, he still couldn't feel the bumps. He carefully picked up the sleeping Lin Ling, put her into the carriage, and picked up the child like glutinous rice dumplings, and drove towards the Qing Palace.

"Where is this going?" Lin Ling woke up in a daze, only to find himself in the carriage.

Long Yuze squeezed Lin Ling's hand and said, "I'll take you and the child home." ”

"Home?" Lin Ling opened his big eyes, and suddenly, his eyelashes drooped, covering his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Long Yuze, when I was fearless before, I couldn't fight Chen Huiniang. Now that I have two sons, I have a weakness, and I can't fight her anymore. Moreover, I am really afraid that she will attack the child again...... Why don't you let me live in a village on the outskirts of Beijing, it's good for everyone. ”

"You are my wife Long Yuze, the princess of the Qing Palace, and you live in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, isn't it a laughing stock?" Long Yuze said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ling'er, I know your thoughts, don't worry, Chen Huiniang won't stay in the palace for a long time!" ”

"But......" Lin Ling turned to the side and said uneasily, "After all, she saved you, and she loves you so much......"

"If you love me, you can do it to my women and children?" Long Yuze gently stroked Lin Ling's face, "If the fire is a little bigger, I can't imagine the consequences!" Xiao Ling'er, even if you don't say it, I won't allow this woman to do anything wrong in the palace! ”

"And what are you going to do with her?" Lin Ling said again, his mood was very complicated.

"The results of today's interrogation in Dali Temple are out, and after listening to the trial of the queen, I will decide what to do with Chen Huiniang!" Long Yuze said lightly.

Lin Ling nodded and closed his eyes.

"The concubine welcomes the princess and princess back to the house!" Chen Huiniang smiled as if nothing had happened.

Long Yuze looked at her deeply and said, "No need to be polite. Then, he turned around and hugged Lin Ling out of the carriage.

Chen Huiniang looked at Lin Ling, who was wrapped in gauze beyond recognition, in shock, but the exposed eyes were as clear as ice, and they looked at her coldly. Chen Huiniang couldn't help but take a step back...... Last night's incident must have been exposed, how can she clear up this matter in front of the prince? Now that Lin Ling's girl is disfigured, as long as the prince continues to believe in herself, she will definitely be more able to get the favor of the prince.

"The prince and the princess were not in the palace last night, what happened? What happened to the princess's face? Otherwise, the concubine went to the palace and invited a royal doctor to come and have a look? Chen Huiniang followed Long Yuze's pace and asked worriedly, completely ignoring Lin Ling's cold gaze and Long Yuze's indifferent expression.

Long Yuze said lightly: "Please ask Imperial Doctor Li in the palace to come over, just say that your face is hurt." ”

"Yes, the concubine will go now." Chen Huiniang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and the prince still talked to her, which showed that the matter was not so serious. She is not the queen's person, everything she does is for Long Yuze, so he won't blame her...... Chen Huiniang comforted herself silently in her heart.

Long Yuze took Lin Ling to Hanyuan Pavilion, called a few maids to serve him closely, and coaxed Lin Ling to fall asleep before getting up and leaving.

In Dali Temple, the atmosphere is majestic and dignified. Dali Siqing sits high, the emperor sits on the lower seat, opposite Long Yuze, and further down, there are seven or eight civil and military ministers in the court. Today is the day of interrogation of the queen, and under normal circumstances, Dali Temple will only open the trial after collecting all the evidence and physical evidence, so there is no suspense about today's result.

"Bring someone to commit Chen!" Dali Siqing slapped the shocking wood, and his voice was loud and majestic. The Chen family has long been removed from the position of queen, and they are no different from the common people. Although all the affairs of the harem are not under the control of Dali Temple, the emperor has spoken, if this matter is not investigated, the black gauze hat on the head of Dali Temple is difficult to keep. Therefore, he was extremely calm and cautious, so as to bring the matter to an end today.

"Chen, the death of the former Empress and Concubine Ping decades ago was caused by you, do you admit it?" Dali Siqing asked.

Chen was imprisoned in the Vulture Palace for several days, and although he was not as embarrassed as the other prisoners, his expression was also tired and exhausted. Hearing Dali Siqing's question, she raised her chin arrogantly and said coldly: "Don't admit it!" This matter was not done by the Hongu, so why should the Hongu admit it? Even if the punishment is used against the main palace, the main palace will not accept it! ”

After Chen finished speaking, he stared at the emperor coldly, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Good! Bring a person's card! Dali Siqing said loudly, and two guards escorted a man and a woman into the room, kicked their knees, and forced them to kneel.

Chen looked at the past coldly, the woman was her personal confidant palace maid, and the man was the eunuch she called the most on weekdays, these two people knew everything about her. It is indeed the best choice to find them as witnesses. But...... Chen hooked the corners of his lips, stared at the emperor and said, "Could it be that the Daewoo Dynasty is also bent into a move?" Looking at the appearance of the two of them, I'm afraid they have suffered a lot in prison, right? Is the testimony of torture also considered testimony? ”

"Chen, you have to be strong!" Dali Siqing said coldly, "You two, don't tell me what you know!" ”

The palace maid avoided Chen's gaze and said cautiously: "The slave maid has served the queen for more than twenty years...... I still know a little bit about what happened back then. At the beginning, the first queen was deeply favored by the emperor, and the queen mother was already jealous. After being pregnant with the dragon son, the queen began to plan how to deal with the first queen and Concubine Ping......"

"Shut up!" Chen suddenly stepped forward and kicked the palace maid's heart.

"Someone! Take down Chen! Dali Siqing glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor was also disgusted, and he had the courage to shoot the shocking wood. Immediately, someone came over and held down Chen, forcing her to kneel in the middle of the lobby.

"Chen, no matter how you delay, this case will come to a conclusion." The emperor looked at this scene, his face was calm, his voice was flat, but there was disgust in his eyes.

Chen was pressed, struggling desperately, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are really too ruthless!" The crown prince is also your son, what did he do to make you do this to him? Long Yuze once led troops into the palace, almost killed his father and brother, you can not blame the past, but you have to grasp the prince's mistakes! Your Majesty, we have been married for more than 20 years, but you have brought me to this court so recklessly, I might as well be killed by a head-butt! ”

The emperor closed his eyes and said lightly: "If you do something, you have to bear the consequences!" Dali Siqing, do what you want, everything according to your rules! ”

"Yes, Weichen obeys!" Dali Siqing nodded, slapped the startled wood again, and shouted, "You two are quick to recruit!" ”

The eunuch nodded hurriedly and confessed everything. At the end, he continued: "At that time, it was the slave who went out of the palace to buy the poison, and bought a lot of it at once, and I think the owner of the pharmacy will remember it." Dali Siqing can send someone to inquire, maybe there will be physical evidence......"

Before the eunuch's words fell, Chen looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice desolate and desperate.

At this moment, Long Yuze said lightly: "Father, since the death of Erchen's mother, the queen has taken a lot of care of Erchen, for so many years, if there is no careful cultivation of the queen, Erchen will not be literate and understand martial arts." Regardless of the outcome of this case, Erchen hopes that his father will be dealt with lightly! ”

"You little weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens, uneasy and kind!" Chen said coldly, "This palace is now like this, isn't it thanks to you?" ”

The emperor glanced at Chen in disgust, and turned his head to look at Long Yuze: "What do you mean by your light hair?" ”

"It depends on what Dali Siqing's sentence is." Long Yuze looked at Dali Siqing on the main throne and said lightly.

Dali Siqing took out a volume of documents and said: "As usual, killing people pays for their lives, and the Chen family should be beheaded at the noon gate in three days!" ”

"I'm not convinced! Defy! Your Majesty, you can't do this to me! Chen screamed frantically, her most precious son was still locked up, if she died like this, what would happen to her son?

"Father, such a sentence is too heavy." Long Yuze looked at the queen deeply and said slowly.

"Oh? So how do you want to? The emperor looked at Long Yuze in surprise, he was bent on re-investigating the case of the year, and now that the case has come to fruition, does he still want to intercede for the enemy who killed his mother? If he really has such a mind, he can still be regarded as an emperor.

Long Yuze paused and said, "Erchen has not had a mother since he was a child, and he knows the pain of losing his mother. The royal brother's virtue is now detrimental to the prestige of the royal family, if he loses his mother, the son is afraid that the royal brother will give up on himself from now on and collapse! Therefore, Erchen thinks that it is better to save Chen's life, which is also a psychological comfort to the imperial brother. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin cannot be escaped! Come on, put the Chen family into the cold palace, and never take half a step in the cold palace! ”

"Huh!" Chen raised his head, hooked the corners of his mouth sarcastically, and looked at Long Yuze, "If I'm dead, you can't torture me, right?" You are really a good son......" Chen said as he spoke, and lowered his head again, leaving Qingshan without worrying about the lack of firewood, as long as there is still life, she can have another day to turn over.

Long Yuze said again: "Father, Hui Niang is talking about her aunt in the palace all day long, so the retainer asked to let Hui Niang enter the palace to accompany the Chen family to reflect in the cold palace. ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good?" The emperor looked at Long Yuze suspiciously, although Chen Huiniang is the niece of the Chen family, she is also the side concubine of the Qing Palace, and she has not made any mistakes, it is not a good idea to enter the cold palace for a desolate life.

Long Yuze said with a smile: "Father, yesterday Xiao Ling took the child to live temporarily in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, but I didn't expect that there was a fire in Zhuangzi in the middle of the night, although the child was fine, but half of Xiao Ling's face was ruined. Xiao Ling is a woman, and her disfigurement is a great blow to her, so Erchen wants to give a quiet environment for Xiao Ling to recuperate. When Xiaoling's injury is healed, Erchen will take Huiniang back, how about it? ”

"Good! Let Hui Niang accompany me! Chen pulled out a bright smile, this is her own niece, but she did not stand by her side at the most critical time. She and the prince have fallen into today's situation, and they are also inseparable from the girl Huiniang. In that case, let them live together in the cold palace for the rest of their lives.

The implicit meaning of Long Yuze's words was clear to the emperor, the concubines in the harem competed for favor, and various means emerged one after another. So it can also be imagined that the struggle for favor in Long Yuze's back house, if Chen Huiniang threatens the safety of his grandson, then he must not stay. Thinking of this, the emperor nodded and said, "Since that's the case, come here!" Xuan Zhen's will to let Concubine Chen of the Qing Palace, accompany the Chen family to live in the cold palace, and be picked up by the second prince on a certain day! Chin this! ”

The Qing Palace, Hanyuan Pavilion, was silent.

Lin Ling slept a beautiful night's sleep, and the medicine brought by the imperial doctor was applied to his face, and it finally didn't hurt so much.

"Princess, Concubine Chen asked to see her, and she has been waiting outside for an hour." Seeing that Lin Ling was awake, the new maid walked in and whispered, for fear of breaking the silence of the room.

Lin Ling sat up and said, "Let her in." ”

Lin Ling leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw Chen Huiniang walking in, he said lightly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Chen Huiniang sat on the low couch next to the bed by herself, and said with a smile: "I learned that the princess was injured, so I came to take a look, the imperial doctor has already seen it, I don't know what the princess thinks now?" Does it still hurt? ”

Lin Ling opened his eyes, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes, and said, "Chen Huiniang, if it weren't for you, would my face be like this?" You're probably here to see the joke, right? It doesn't matter, you can watch it to your heart's content, I promised you before, no matter what you do, I won't do anything to you, I mean what I say! After you finish reading, hurry up and leave, and I won't be far away! ”

Chen Huiniang covered her red lips and said with a light smile: "Princess, the concubine really wants to see what kind of face is under this white gauze." ”

There is no woman who doesn't care about her face, and an extra spot or a pimple is enough to make a woman uncomfortable and entangled for days. Not to mention that most of Lin Ling's face was burned by the fire, and he was unrecognizable, and it was impossible to restore it. As the man said, it will take some time for the scars to fade away...... Lin Ling glared at Chen Huiniang angrily, isn't all this due to her?

Chen Huiniang stood up elegantly, pressed the corner of the quilt for Lin Ling, and said: "Princess, you and the prince are in love, I believe that the princess will not mind the princess's face, and the princess should relax and recuperate." ”

"Chen Huiniang, if you are in the palace peacefully, maybe the prince can sympathize with you and give you a good face for a few days." Lin Ling snorted coldly, "If you use means to deal with me and my children again, you don't need me to make a move, I believe that the prince will directly sweep you out of the house!" ”

"The prince can successfully lift the captivity, I also contributed, the prince will not be so ruthless, he will always think of my good." Chen Huiniang smiled, turned around and prepared to walk out.

Chen Huiniang was full of confidence, and as soon as she walked out of Hanyuan Pavilion, she heard someone come to report: "The holy decree has arrived!" Concubine Chen, please go to the front hall to receive the order! ”

"The emperor has a decree ......" The eunuch's voice was thin and long, reading word by word.

Chen Huiniang's heart was originally happy and expectant, but because of this slender voice, she slowly fell to the bottom and fell into the ice cellar.

"Concubine Chen, let's go into the palace with our family!" The eunuch put away the holy decree, looked at Chen Huiniang, and said lightly.

Chen Huiniang raised her head, her dead and silent face was full of despair, she looked at Long Yuze holding the child, and said in disbelief: "Lord Wang, is this your idea?" I didn't do anything wrong, why did the emperor let me go into the cold palace to accompany the queen? Lord, tell me, did you want the emperor to do this? ”

Long Yuze's face was expressionless, hugged the child tightly, and said, "That's right, for the sake of Xiaoling and the child, I can only send you away." ”

"Lord Wang, you are so ruthless!" Chen Huiniang shouted in despair, "If it weren't for me, you would still be confined in the palace now!" How can you cross the river and tear down the bridge and send me to the cold palace to die a lifetime? Lord Wang, you say, did Lin Ling's ask you to do this? Lord, tell me you have a hard time......"

Long Yuze shook his head, looked at the eunuch, and said in a low voice, "Take it away." ”

"Lord Wang!" Chen Huiniang pounced and grabbed the hem of Long Yuze's robe, "Lord Wang, you can't do this!" I'm not leaving, I don't want to go to the cold palace! "Lin Ling is disfigured, her opportunity has just come, she is gone now, and she may never be able to get out of the cold palace again for the rest of her life.

She has been to the cold palace, which is shabby, old and cold, and there are countless crazy women. Even if you are a normal person, if you live in it for a few days, your sanity will become abnormal. And also...... She is going to accompany the Chen family, her own aunt, they have long broken off their blood relationship, she went to the cold palace, and she will only be doubly tortured.

The two eunuchs stepped forward to hold Chen Huiniang and dragged her out, and said, "Concubine Chen, don't embarrass us...... With the prince taking care of you outside, you won't suffer in the cold palace, so come with us. "With me, you are still confined in the palace! How can you cross the river and tear down the bridge and send me to the cold palace to die a lifetime? Lord Wang, you say, did Lin Ling's ask you to do this? Lord, tell me you have a hard time......"

Long Yuze shook his head, looked at the eunuch, and said in a low voice, "Take it away." ”

"Lord Wang!" Chen Huiniang pounced and grabbed the hem of Long Yuze's robe, "Lord Wang, you can't do this!" I'm not leaving, I don't want to go to the cold palace! "Lin Ling is disfigured, her opportunity has just come, she is gone now, and she may never be able to get out of the cold palace again for the rest of her life.

She has been to the cold palace, which is shabby, old and cold, and there are countless crazy women.

The two eunuchs stepped forward to hold Chen Huiniang and dragged her out, and said, "Concubine Chen, don't embarrass us...... With the prince taking care of you outside, you won't suffer in the cold palace, so come with us. ”
