Chapter 118: The Child's Affair
In the past few days, Qin Keke's mood has been extremely happy, and even the people below can feel it. It's been days, and the general hasn't been to Qingya's house again, how can she not be happy?
No matter how much the general loves Qingya, but Qingya deceived him, how could he not mind?
Moreover, Qingya is also very likely to defect to become the person of His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, Qingya's mother is still in the hands of "His Royal Highness the Prince".
While Qin Keke was in a happy mood, Lin Ling was a little entangled.
Qingya's mother is still in their hands, and she is locked up in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Beijing, although she is offered delicious food and drink every day, but it is not a way to lock her up like this. She also inquired about the general's current state, and was basically angry, ignoring Qingya and not coming to rescue her mother. But it's impossible for them to just put it back, after all, the purpose of her bureau is to separate the general and His Royal Highness the Prince, and help Qin Keke by the way.
"Miss, don't worry, the general's people have already found the ruined temple, and our people have all retreated, leaving only a palace plaque on the ground of the ruined temple." Ashin walked in from the courtyard and said, "Things are foolproof, the general would never have imagined that we had arranged all this!" ”
"That's good!" Lin Ling stood up, "That's all we can do!" ”
Even if he barely managed to get the general, Lin Ling put all his thoughts on the prime minister.
At night, Long Yuze jumped in through the window again.
Lin Ling put away the case file and said proudly: "I have done most of the things you handed over to me." ”
Long Yuze hooked the corners of his lips and pulled Lin into his arms: "It's almost enough to do two things, as for the Prime Minister, you don't have to bother anymore, it is already a big harvest to be able to accept Lord Shilang and the general for my use!" ”
"Why?" Lin Ling jumped up, "I'm almost trying to figure out a way." ”
Long Yuze held down Lin Ling and said: "Today, in the court, the general suddenly mentioned the prince's recent virtue, which triggered a heated discussion, and there were already some of my henchmen in the court, coupled with the general's passionate wording, the court argued endlessly, and the squire who has never participated in the battle for the heir also suddenly opened his mouth to list the prince's outrageous behavior. After the next dynasty, my father specially summoned me......"
"Wouldn't that be nice?" Lin Ling clapped his hands and shouted, "It means that my plan is very successful!" ”
Long Yuze said with a calm brow: "This is good, but the queen is thoughtful, and she must have expected someone to do something in secret." Therefore, after today, the queen will definitely send more people to keep an eye on the ministers who are still neutral, and the prime minister and Qin Yiyan will be among them. I don't want you to be exposed to the queen, it's too dangerous, so you just wait obediently, and in less than a year, I can successfully take the throne!" ”
More than a year ago, Long Yuze also said that he would be able to win the country before the Mid-Autumn Festival...... Lin Ling frowned and thought to himself.
Long Yuze thought that Lin Ling had listened and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"You've been away from your kids for months, don't you want them?" Long Yuze rubbed Lin Ling's hair with his chin, knowing that Lin Ling was not an obedient girl, and wanted her to reunite with the child first, but here in the capital, he was already eighty percent sure.
It's okay not to mention the child, but when he mentioned it, Lin Ling's nose was sore, tears fell down, one hand beat Long Yuze's chest, and he roared in a choked voice: "It's not because of you?" It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, would I have abandoned my child and traveled thousands of miles to the capital to help you? They are still so young, Mo'er and Wei'er haven't learned to call their mothers yet, so I ruthlessly handed them over to others, and you are all to blame......"
"Don't cry, don't cry......" Long Yuze hugged Lin Ling tightly and comforted him softly, "You can see them soon." ”
Lin Ling sobbed: "That will also take a year...... By then, Mo Er and Wei Er will definitely not know me......" The more Lin Ling thought about it, the more sad he became, and he threw himself into Long Yuze's arms and cried loudly.
Ashin was guarding the door, and he had already heard the movement in the house, and knew in his heart that it was Long Yuze who had visited. Later, when he heard Lin Ling crying bitterly, his heart was pinched, but he knew in his heart that it would be useless for him to rush in. The young lady, who giggles and fearlessly in front of him all day long, will only fade all her strength and defense in front of that man.
Long Yuze hugged Lin Ling tightly and coaxed in her ear: "I'll send someone to reunite with the child now, okay?" ”
"Don't! No! You're going to drive me away again! Lin Ling cried and screamed.
"You haven't told me where you hid your child." Long Yuze suddenly thought of this very serious problem, wiped Lin Ling's tears, and stared at her, "Are you sure that the person you are looking for is absolutely trustworthy?" ”
Lin Ling nodded, and hammered Long Yuze's chest again: "I go to Quanzhou alone, is it easy for me to give birth to a child?" In order to save you, I entrusted my child to others, am I willing to give it to me? You still have all kinds of doubts now? I really did it myself......" Lin Ling covered his face and cried.
It's as if he knows that a person will cherish himself, so he is presumptuous.
Long Yuze sighed, hugged Lin Ling tightly, and gently patted her shoulder, giving her silent comfort.
He sent someone to Quanzhou to inquire, and only then did he know what happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If Ashin hadn't arrived in time, what would have happened, he didn't dare to think.
Xiao Ling'er will be **** by the national teacher, or she will also be brought back to her world by the national teacher
He will not be as warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms as he is now, and he has two lovely twin sons, although he has never met, but as long as he thinks about it, his heart will melt, he has a wife and children, and he has no regrets in life. However, the revenge of killing his mother cannot be abolished, as long as he takes revenge, he must let Xiao Ling'er and the children live a good life.
Lin Ling's cry weakened, Long Yuze stroked her teardropping face, and said, "Little Ling'er, don't be sad. I'm not driving you away, I'm trying to reunite you with your children. And the capital is no longer safe, so it's the best policy for me to send you away......"
Lin Ling pouted, turned around, but didn't speak.
She misses the baby very, very much, but she can't go. Since she decided to help Long Yuze regain the throne, the task has not been completed, how can she give up halfway because of danger? Moreover, Long Yuze failed once, what if he failed again this time? The power of two people is always greater than one, so she must stay.
"Little Ling'er......" Long Yuze sighed and took Lin Ling into his arms.
Lin Ling bit his lip and whispered: "The child is in the Black Forest, I will leave it to Luo Wenjie and Caixia to take care of, I believe in them." ”
"The Black Forest?" A bad premonition suddenly rose in Long Yuze's heart, "When you fell into the Black Forest, wasn't it Chen Huiniang who did it?" How dare you send your child to the Black Forest? ”
Lin Ling was also surprised: "Can she really find there?" ”
Long Yuze nodded solemnly: "She doesn't have anything to do every day now, so she should be thinking about how to find the child." Seeing that Lin Ling's face turned pale, Long Yuze hurriedly said, "But it's okay, I'll send someone to the Black Forest immediately, don't worry, wait for my news." ”
Lin Ling's whole person was a little confused, she had been in the capital for two or three months, and she had never worried about the safety of her children. Now that Long Yuze said this, if Chen Huiniang really had a heart, she could have found the Black Forest. There are only a few dozen households in the Black Forest, and it is not easy to resist Chen Huiniang's people.
The child's matter made Lin Ling a little unthinking about it these days, but there was no way, the capital was some distance from the Black Forest, and it took more than half a month to go back and forth. After being depressed for three or five days, Lin Ling cheered up again and decided to continue implementing his plan.
Long Yuze always wanted to let her go, so she should do one last thing before leaving.
It is not only for the children, but also to help Long Yuze again.
Lin Ling sent a post to the Prime Minister as the boss of Tingyuxuan, and the Prime Minister will definitely not see her as a little woman easily. However, in the post, Lin Ling wrote very clearly that the case more than ten years ago had begun to emerge, and she needed to find the Prime Minister to further understand the situation. Although she didn't get any clues now, she still had something to say when she met the Prime Minister.
"This girl, you claim to have found the clue to the murder of Concubine Ping more than ten years ago, but is it true?" The prime minister was over sixty years old, with silver hair and sunken eyes, looking at Lin Ling expectantly.
Lin Ling was a little weak-hearted, but he still nodded calmly and said, "Presumably, the Prime Minister must have heard of Tingyuxuan, and the people's daughter is the boss of Tingyuxuan." Because of some other things, I heard about the tragedy that happened in the palace more than ten years ago. Concubine Ping was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, and she died of an inexplicable violent illness after only three years in the palace, but so? ”
The Prime Minister looked sad, beat his chest, and said, "I haven't even seen the last side of Concubine Ping...... Immediately after that, my wife followed...... What a sin! Tell me, girl, what clues have you found? If I really find the murderer who murdered Concubine Ping back then, I will never let him go! ”
Lin Ling shook his head and said, "I sneaked to the cold palace to investigate, the women there are either crazy or stupid, the only one who is normal, but deaf and dumb." I'm sure she must know something, so I'm here today to ask the Prime Minister to find a way to smuggle the deaf and dumb woman out of the palace, and ask Lang Zhong to heal her. ”
"There is a rule in the Daewoo Dynasty that foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem." The Prime Minister frowned and said, "If I could enter the harem, I would have gone in to investigate one or two, old man." At the beginning, I was a foreign minister, and I had no qualifications to go in and find out what was going on. But my wife was seriously ill, and in the end she simply went with her, and the matter was over. ”
Lin Ling nodded clearly, not wanting to mention the sad past of the prime minister, he thought about it and said: "Prime Minister, you have been an official in the court for more than ten years, I believe you will definitely find someone to take that woman out of the palace." Speaking of this, Lin Ling took two steps forward, approached the prime minister, and said in a low voice, "According to the information that the little woman has, this matter has nothing to do with the queen's mother, but she has just found evidence, and the deaf and dumb woman must be the evidence!" ”
The prime minister nodded fixedly, and said: "I am becoming more and more useless, if I can't find out the real murderer in my lifetime, then what face do I have to see my dead Ping'er?" Thank you, girl. ”
Lin Ling shook his head and got up to leave.
She provided the Prime Minister with this clue, and Presumably the Prime Minister will spare no effort to investigate. She only hopes that the deaf and dumb woman can be cured, and even if she can't be cured, she also hopes that she can read and write. She had no way to enter the palace to investigate further, so she could only pray for the Prime Minister to go well.
Lin Ling walked all the way towards Tingyuxuan, walking, but suddenly felt that someone was following her.
Wait a minute! Lin Ling suddenly looked around in a panic, where is Ashin?
Ashin accompanied her to the Prime Minister's Mansion and waited for her at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as she came out, she patronized and thought about things, and even forgot that Ashin hadn't caught up yet. Normally, Ashin's eyes were always on her, and she didn't need to look for it at all, so she didn't go out of her way to see where Ashin was today, she always thought that Ashin himself would follow.
Something must have happened!
Lin Ling lifted his long skirt and turned around and ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Before she could take two steps, she felt that it was dark in front of her, and a huge black cloth bag fell from her head, covering her. She struggled and screamed desperately, and after a while, she felt soft and fell to the ground.
"This palace said that Long Yuze, this kid, suddenly got the help of Lord Shilang and the general, it turned out that this girl was making trouble in the middle!" The queen looked coldly at Lin Ling, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and shouted coldly, "Come on, bring a bucket of cold water and wake her up!" ”
Lin Ling coughed violently, her whole body was cold, and as soon as she woke up, she saw someone standing beside her with a wooden barrel.
"Princess Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time, and this palace thought you would never return to the capital again." The queen didn't smile, sat on the phoenix couch, and looked coldly at the embarrassed Lin Ling.
The memory before passing out hit, Lin Ling sat up abruptly and stared at the queen: "Where is Ashin?" What did you do to Ashin? ”
The queen smiled coldly: "It's time like this, you still have to worry about your own affairs!" This palace really didn't see that you, a little girl, were so capable, that you could ask Lord Shilang and the general to speak for that kid Long Yuze! It's just that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and you want to lobby the prime minister again, but you didn't expect it to fall into the hands of this palace, right? ”
"I really didn't expect it." Lin Ling fearlessly twisted the water on his sleeves and said, "Queen Mother, you are also the mother of a country, and you actually came to Yin, if this is spread, it will damage your prestige as the mother of a country." Queen Mother, it's useless for you to arrest me, it's just for yourself. ”
"If I don't arrest you, I'm going to block the palace!" The queen looked at Lin Ling coldly, "You tell me honestly, where are you hiding the child?" ”
"What child?" Lin Ling pretended to be stupid.
"Come on, slap your mouth!" The queen flicked her sleeves fiercely, "This palace will see how hard your mouth can be!" ”
A grandmother rolled up her sleeves and walked in front of Lin Ling, pressed her shoulders, opened her bow left and right, and slapped her over with a few slaps.
Lin Ling's scalp was numb from being beaten, his eyes were dizzy, and he had a little tinnitus.
The queen stood up, squatted down and pinched Lin Ling's chin: "Say, where are you hiding Long Yuze's kid's child!" If you don't say it again, this palace will beat you until you say it! ”
The corners of Lin Ling's lips overflowed with blood, and she opened her mouth and smiled: "Queen Mother, if you want to know, go find it yourself!" ”
"Call Hongu!" The queen stood up, raised her foot and stepped on Lin Ling's palm, crushed it, and then lifted it up, and said, "This palace tells you that this palace has time to spend with you, and when this palace finds those two little mongrels, I will be merciful and let your mother and son die together as companions, okay?" ”
Lin Ling bit his lip stiffly, and suddenly regretted that he had shaken out the child's affairs in his heart.
Chen Huiniang already coveted the child, and now there is another queen, what should she do?
The news of Lin Ling's disappearance soon reached Long Yuze's ears, and Ashin was the only one who followed Lin Ling to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, so when the ghost left at night, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to look for it, but the person seemed to have evaporated, and he couldn't find it. So he had no choice but to sneak into the palace at night and tell Long Yuze about the matter.
Long Yuze didn't rush around, he had reminded Lin Ling before the danger came. It's just that Lin Ling didn't listen, so he insisted on breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion. The person who captured Lin Ling was undoubtedly the queen's mother, so how to rescue her now?
He is confined, and although he can move freely, he can't be exposed, otherwise all plans will be ruined. But besides him, who else can save Lin Ling? Since the queen mother has arrested her, she must have made preparations for all parties. Lin Ling's identity cannot be exposed now, and if he reports to the emperor, he can't see what he can get.
Long Yuze put on a dark robe, crossed the palace wall, and went straight towards the Phoenix Vulture Palace.
The Phoenix Vulture Palace was heavily guarded, and Long Yuze could only take advantage of the shift change to fly to the roof and cut off the tiles of each room to investigate carefully. Finally, in the back room, he saw Lin Ling, who was covered in water, his cheeks were red and swollen, and he was trembling. His heart tightened, and he uncovered several tiles in succession, and was just about to fall, but the door of the wing room was pushed open.
"The queen mother said, as long as you tell the whereabouts of the child, let you go, or you will freeze to death! Or starve to death! Otherwise, it is possible to kill you! A guard said viciously, and stabbed Lin Ling with the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Lin Ling opened his eyes with difficulty, and said weakly: "Then you let me die!" Get out! ”
"Hmph, I'll open a dyeing workshop if I give you some color, and see if I don't teach you a good lesson!" The guard snorted and laughed, squatted down and touched Lin Ling's cheek, and when he was about to do it again, he suddenly felt a stone hit his wrist, and his entire arm was unconscious, and he roared angrily, "Who! Who would dare to hit me? "Fall, let you go, or I'll let you freeze to death! Or starve to death! Otherwise, it is possible to kill you! A guard said viciously, and stabbed Lin Ling with the hilt of the sword in his hand.
Lin Ling opened his eyes with difficulty, and said weakly: "Then you let me die!" Get out! ”
"Hmph, I'll open a dyeing workshop if I give you some color, and see if I don't teach you a good lesson!" The guard snorted and laughed, squatted down and touched Lin Ling's cheek, and when he was about to do it again, he suddenly felt a stone hit his wrist, and his entire arm was unconscious, and he roared angrily, "Who! Who would dare to hit me? ”
