Chapter 123: Forcing Her to Leave
The prince pinched Qi Wei's hand and slowly turned it to caress his cheek, looked in Lin Ling's direction, and laughed softly: "Since you husband and wife are here, it's even better to say." Princess Qing, this is your precious son, I don't think you should watch your son die in my hands, right? ”
When Lin Ling walked in, she heard that the prince asked Long Yuze to cut off his left arm, she thought that the prince would only let Long Yuze let the queen go, or let Long Yuze voluntarily give up the throne, but she didn't expect that this prince would want him to cut off his left arm in order to completely cut off Long Yuze's possibility of becoming the emperor. You must know that the Daewoo Dynasty has a rule that those who are physically disabled cannot be emperors, and they would rather choose people from the side than let a person with a broken left arm be the emperor.
"It's just a left arm, it's worth it for a child's life!" The prince smiled faintly, gently touching Qi Wei's face, Qi Wei didn't know what was going on, he only knew that he was crying with his mouth wide open, and the cry resounded throughout this palace. The prince's face gradually showed impatience, "Could it be that the princess of Qing has kept the big one, so she doesn't want this small one?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be impulsive!" Lin Ling shouted.
Long Yuze held Lin Ling's hand and said in a low voice, "Mo'er was rescued?" ”
Lin Ling nodded, his eyes staring at the child in the prince's hand, for fear that the prince would strangle Qi Wei with an impulse.
"Good!" Long Yuze suddenly raised his voice, let go of Lin Ling, and reached out to draw the sword on the waist of the guard beside him, "I cut off my left arm, you let go of the child!" As he spoke, the sword in his hand was raised high, the blade reflected the dazzling sunlight, and Lin Ling lunged forward and hugged Long Yuze's left arm tightly.
The prince stretched out his hand and threw the child into the air, roaring angrily: "In that case, then don't blame me for being unkind!" ”
"My child!" Lin Ling watched Qi Wei being thrown into the air, but there was nothing he could do, Long Yuze threw down his sword, got up and jumped up, and flew in the direction of the child. Out of thin air, two black-clothed guards flew out, blocking Long Yuze's way.
The child fell lower and lower, and Lin Ling was dizzy for a while, almost fainting.
The prince clapped his hands, and one of the guards behind him flew up to catch the child, and the child's cry became louder.
"Give you another cup of tea, if you don't cut off your left arm again, this prince will no longer have the leisure to joke with you!" As he spoke, the prince lifted his robe and sat on the chair, reached out to take the hot freshly brewed strong tea, and drank it comfortably.
Lin Ling fell to the ground softly, and his heart palpitated.
Long Yuze squatted down to support Lin Ling, and said lightly: "One left arm is worth it in exchange for Wei'er's life." Xiao Ling'er, you better go out, wait a while, you can go back with Wei'er. ”
"Don't ......" Lin Ling shook his head, his voice choked, "There must be another way!" ”
Long Yuze stretched out his hand to tear off the strip of cloth on the hem of his robe, tied it for Lin Ling, covered her eyes, and said, "There is a way, but time waits for no one!" Now that the queen is imprisoned, the prince dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and everything can be done. Xiao Ling'er, don't be impatient, it's just an arm, stay obediently. ”
Lin Ling couldn't cry, sat on the ground and hugged his knees, not daring to look or listen.
"I hope you mean what you say, otherwise, even if it is a bloodbath in the palace, I will not hesitate to do it!" Long Yuze said coldly, his whole body exuded a chill, and his voice was even more piercing. The prince put down the teacup, snatched the child from the guards, and confronted Long Yuze coldly.
Long Yuze raised his sword, raised it high, and swung it down with his eyes closed.
"Bang-"
Just when Lin Ling was trembling with fear, just when the prince was happily looking forward to it, the sword in Long Yuze's hand was shot down.
"It's just presumptuous!" The emperor was old, standing at the entrance of the palace, with a shocked face.
"Tie them all up, escort them back to the Taihe Palace, and I will interrogate them personally!" The emperor said coldly and turned around and went out.
Lin Ling tore off the strip of cloth and cried with joy, crying in a low voice. She looked up at the child, and the brocade guard took the child from the prince's hand and handed it to the grandmother who came with her. She hurriedly stood up to pick up the child, but was dodged by the grandmother, and she was escorted by two guards.
Everyone in the empty hall was escorted to the Taihe Palace, and the prince, Long Yuze, and Lin Ling knelt in the center.
"Prince, you say, what the hell is going on?" The emperor's voice was extremely majestic, "The day before yesterday, you swore in front of me, saying that you would listen to the teachings of the Taifu in the future, and it was only two days before you openly made trouble in the palace with your guards!" If I hadn't arrived in time, would you have forced your own brother to cut off his left arm? ”
"Father...... Erchen is fascinated for a while! The crown prince kept kowtowing, "Father, the son is worried about the queen mother, so he has to make this decision!" The son pleaded for his mother, but the father did not listen, so the son had to beg the emperor's brother, but the emperor was unwilling...... Erchen is really forced to do nothing, father, ......"
The emperor snorted coldly: "The queen is interrogated by Dali Temple, no matter who intercedes, it will not have any effect!" As the crown prince, you actually forced your brother to cut off his left arm, and threatened the life of a newborn child, I am really sorry for the name of the prince! Come, tell me to go down, and the prince of Daewoo Dynasty will remove the crown prince! As for the prince candidate, it will be decided at a later date! ”
"Father! Father, the child is wrong! The crown prince burst into tears, crawled under the dragon chair with his hands and knees, grabbed the emperor's robe, and howled, "Father, please take back your fate!" Erchen will not be in the future, never again! Father, the child is also your own flesh and blood, you can't be partial! Can't be eccentric......"
The emperor looked angry and kicked the prince away: "Get out, come on, take the prince down, and lock him up in the East Palace for reflection!" ”
The prince wanted to howl and beg for mercy, but several of the guards had already entered the hall and escorted him down.
The prince left, and the Taihe Hall immediately quieted down a lot, and the emperor opened his eyes, sighed, and said: "In my life, I have had your two sons, but I didn't expect to grow old, only to see your brothers killing each other!" It is said that the high places are not cold, do you really do anything for the sake of the throne? ”
"Your Majesty, the prince is just here to save Wei'er...... Lin Ling hurriedly argued.
"Don't talk!" The emperor waved his hand, "It's one thing to save Wei'er, it's another thing to think about the throne or not." ”
Long Yuze knelt straight, his voice was deep, and he said slowly: "Father, the son is not interested in the throne. In the past, the reason why he competed for the throne with the imperial brother was just to avenge the murder of his mother, and now, the case of Dali Temple interrogated more than ten years ago, I think it will come out tomorrow, and the sons will no longer have obsessions, as long as the father and the emperor let the person who killed the mother get the punishment he deserves, the child voluntarily took the princess and a pair of sons to leave the capital, and there will be no quarrel with the world from then on! ”
"What?" The emperor was surprised, "You think so?" ”
Lin Ling also turned her head to look at Long Yuze in surprise, as far as she knew, Long Yuze should really want to get the throne. Now that the queen is imprisoned, and the crown prince has been stripped of the crown prince, now that the crown prince's position is vacant, he is very likely to become the new crown prince. How could he say such a thing at such a juncture?
Long Yuze nodded: "Father, the imperial brother has been named the crown prince since he was a child, and the people invited are all highly qualified Taifu to teach and read, and the son is just a prince who doesn't know the principles of governing the country." In the past, he was ignorant and led troops to force the palace, intending to seek the throne. Now that I think about it, I really deserved to die. Since the father can forgive the mistakes of his sons, he should also forgive the mistakes made by the emperor's brother. ”
"It seems that this year's captivity has really made you think a lot." The emperor nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Okay, from today onwards, I will lift your captivity, and you can go back to your Qing Palace." As for the interrogation of Dali Temple, it will come out tomorrow, and I will give your mother justice when the time comes! ”
"Thank you, father!" Long Yuze kowtowed and thanked him, and walked out of the Taihe Hall with Lin Ling.
Qi Wei didn't want to come back, and the emperor left Qi Wei in the palace in the name of suppression, and was taken care of by his grandmother. Although Lin Ling was not at ease, but when he thought that there was still a Chen Huiniang in the Qing Palace, he had to agree, if the child returned to the palace, he was really afraid that he would be poisoned by Chen Huiniang again, after all, Mo'er was still in Chen Huiniang's hands.
Chen Huiniang seemed to have known that Long Yuze and Lin Ling were going back to the mansion, and led the subordinates of the entire Qing Wangfu to greet them at the gate of the mansion.
"Welcome back to the princess!" Everyone said in unison.
Chen Huiniang stood at the front, blessed her body, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine welcomes the princess and princess back to the house!" ”
"No need to be polite." Long Yuze waved his hand and walked in with his arm around Lin Ling's shoulder.
Chen Huiniang looked at the backs of the two from behind, couldn't help biting her lips, and pinched her palms tightly in her sleeves.
She and the crown prince each have a child in their hands, she is to force Lin Ling away, and the prince is to let Long Yuze no longer compete for the throne. What happened in the palace has long been rumored, it seems that the prince's plan failed, and he lost the trust of the emperor and was imprisoned, so it can be seen that the prince's position is very likely to be held by the prince.
Chen Huiniang's eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light, if the prince became the emperor, then Lin Ling would be the queen, so how could she fight with her?
Her only handle now is the child!
Lin Ling, this girl, swore an oath, how could she still have the courage to go home? Isn't she afraid that she will strangle the child?
Chen Huiniang had mixed tastes in her heart, but she still prepared the banquet with a smile on her face, standing at the table to prepare vegetables.
"The prince and the princess haven't been back to the house for more than a year, and the concubine is alone in this mansion, and now it's finally good, the prince and the princess are back, and the mansion is finally no longer deserted in the future." Chen Huiniang smiled and picked up the dish for Long Yuze, thinking that Long Yuze would ignore that dish like more than a year ago, but she didn't expect that Long Yuze would easily pick up the dish and put it in his mouth.
Long Yuze put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Concubine Chen, sit down and dine together, just have the maids waiting for you." ”
"Thank you...... Wang Ye Xie ......, "Happiness came too suddenly, Chen Huiniang was stunned for a while, and then sat down next to Lin Ling.
Lin Ling's chopsticks were also a meal, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but he still raised his head and smiled: "This time, the prince can return to the house smoothly, and Concubine Chen has also made a lot of efforts." In front of Long Yuze, Lin Ling didn't call Chen Huiniang "Mrs. Chen" anymore, but directly called Concubine Chen, and she didn't know why.
Chen Huiniang didn't mind Lin Ling's words at all, it was Long Yuze who personally asked her to sit down and eat, how could she not be happy? Her biggest purpose in helping Lin Ling rescue Long Yuze was to gain Long Yuze's trust. Now it seems that she has really succeeded, at least the prince is no longer afraid of her. Does this mean that as long as she continues to work hard, the prince will one day open his heart to accept her?
"Xiao Ling'er, Wei'er is now taken care of by her father, what about Mo'er?" Long Yuze sandwiched a dish for Lin Ling and asked softly.
Chen Huiniang's heart tightened, staring at Lin Ling.
Lin Ling put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The children Luo Wenjie and Caixia are taking care of it, I am afraid that there will be danger, so let them avoid the limelight in an inn in the capital, and wait for us to pick it up safely." Don't worry, I'll go pick up Mo'er after eating, you father haven't held a child with your own hands. ”
Lin Ling's tone was brisk, and Long Yuze didn't think about anything anymore, and nodded.
"Lord Wang, the goddess of Yu Xi asks to see you!" As he spoke, the dark night walked in and said.
"The Goddess of the Domain?" Lin Ling said in surprise, "Shouldn't she be in Yingtai Tower, what is she doing here?" ”
"Let's go, let's see!" Long Yuze stood up and said, and Lin Ling also got up.
Chen Huiniang hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the concubine and the princess still have a few words to say, let the princess go after a while?" ”
"Yes, yes, I also have something to say to Concubine Chen, you go first, I'll come right away." Lin Ling smiled and pushed Long Yuze away.
After Long Yuze left, Lin Ling withdrew all the people in the dining room, and there were only two women left in the room.
"Princess, you swore an oath, what do you mean by going back to the house now?" Chen Huiniang opened her mouth coldly.
Lin Ling raised his eyebrows and retorted: "I will leave myself, but I didn't say when I will leave!" Isn't everything you do to get the prince? If I leave for no reason, do you dare to say that the prince will not suspect that you forced me to leave? ”
"It's not your turn to worry about this!" Chen Huiniang said angrily, "Don't force me! If you don't leave by tonight, then I'll send you your precious son's fingers!" If it's not early tomorrow, I'll send you his little arm......"
"Don't talk about it!" Lin Ling slapped the table hard and stood up, "Okay!" Good! You wait! ”
"Remember, don't tell the prince that I forced you to leave! Otherwise, I can do it to your youngest son at any time! Chen Huiniang sneered and looked at Lin Ling defiantly. Lin Ling was furious, knocked over the rice bowl on the table with one hand, turned his head and rushed out of the room.
The emperor will always send Wei'er back to the palace, and if she leaves, then Wei'er must have fallen into the hands of Chen Huiniang again.
Lin Ling pulled his hair irritably, not knowing what to do!
In the pavilion in the front yard of the palace, the goddess of Yu Xi and Long Yuze sat opposite each other.
"I wonder why the goddess came this time?" Long Yuze asked with a light smile.
The goddess of Yu Xi curled the corners of her lips bitterly, and said, "Lord Wang, don't say that, you know that I am Li Sanmei, and I am not a goddess." There is no one else here, the prince should call me the third sister directly. ”
"The number of rituals cannot be abolished, no matter who you were before, but now, you are the goddess of the domain, a goddess who is above ten thousand people under one person, and no one can violate it." Long Yuze arched his hand, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression.
"Okay then." The Goddess of Yu Xi nodded in compromise, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "These days, the capital is extremely unpeaceful, and the palace is also turbulent, and I have heard about what happened. Last night, the emperor came to Yingtai Tower and asked me to make sure to divinate a hexagram, presumably the prince can also guess what the emperor asked me to divination. It's just that I don't know the art of divination, and I have the name of the goddess in vain, I really have a guilty conscience, and I can't give the result that the emperor wants, so I can only come to ask the prince. ”
Long Yuze raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that the goddess of Yuxi is mistaken, right?" I'm just a prince, and I don't know the art of divination. What does my father want you to divination, and what is the result, how can my little prince know? ”
"Lord Wang......" The goddess of Yu Xi spoke, with a hint of pleading in her tone, "Now that the queen mother and the crown prince are imprisoned, the position of the prince is vacant, what if ...... If I tell the emperor that you have the spirit of a son of heaven all around you, I want to ...... The emperor will not doubt it. Lord, I have lived in the palace for a few months, and I know that you want to get the throne...... Now I have the ability to help you ......."
"Goddess of the Domain, please go back!" Long Yuze stood up and turned his back, his words were cold, "Who the throne is passed on to is decided by my father." As for whether your father believes your words or not, it is also up to your father to decide. What do you say to my father, I don't want to interfere, and I can't interfere! I still have business to attend to, please come back! ”
"Lord Wang......" The goddess of Yu Xi bit her lip and covered her chest. She lived in Yingtai Tower for more than a year and never went out. This is the first time it has come out, just for Long Yuze's words. Once, it was Long Yuze who saved her, and now, she finally has the ability to help him get the throne.
Doesn't it say that whoever wins the goddess wins the world? She is now a goddess, and she can help him get the world.
But why wouldn't he?
"Lord Wang, you can't miss this opportunity!" Lin Ling suddenly walked into the pavilion and said in a deep voice, "The third sister is now a goddess, and the emperor will definitely not doubt her words." If she says that you are the emperor of heaven, then the emperor will not hesitate to choose you as the crown prince! Although the current situation in the court is in your favor, but the queen mother and the crown prince have been in business for many years, I don't believe they were defeated so easily, so the prince must not miss this good opportunity! ”
With tears in her eyes, the Goddess nodded desperately.
Long Yuze turned around and looked at Lin Ling: "You want me to ascend the throne?" ”
Lin Ling nodded: "Yes, if you give up the throne, I think some people will still not give up on you, they will always feel that you covet the throne, and my children and I will be in danger!" So it's better to be the emperor and hold all the rights in your hands, and when the time comes, who will dare to touch me and my children? ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you!" Long Yuze said in a deep voice.
"Lord Wang......" The goddess of Yu Xi bit her lip and covered her chest. She lived in Yingtai Tower for more than a year and never went out. This is the first time it has come out, just for Long Yuze's words. Once, it was Long Yuze who saved her, and now, she finally has the ability to help him get the throne.
Doesn't it say that whoever wins the goddess wins the world? She is now a goddess, and she can help him get the world.
But why wouldn't he?
"Lord Wang, you can't miss this opportunity!" Lin Ling suddenly walked into the pavilion and said in a deep voice, "The third sister is now a goddess, and the emperor will definitely not doubt her words." If she says that you are the emperor of heaven, then the emperor will not hesitate to choose you as the crown prince! Although the current situation in the court is in your favor, but the queen mother and the crown prince have been in business for many years, I don't believe they were defeated so easily, so the prince must not miss this good opportunity! ”
With tears in her eyes, the Goddess nodded desperately.
Long Yuze turned around and looked at Lin Ling: "You want me to ascend the throne?" ”
Lin Ling nodded: "Yes, if you give up the throne, I think some people will still not give up on you, they will always feel that you covet the throne, and my children and I will be in danger!" So it's better to be the emperor and hold all the rights in your hands, and when the time comes, who will dare to touch me and my children? ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you!" Long Yuze said in a deep voice.
