Chapter 122: The Situation Takes a Turn
The people who lived in the suburbs of Beijing were all summoned to Tingyuxuan, and Lin Ling's mood was a little complicated.
When she was in the Taihe Palace, the emperor clearly mentioned to her about listening to Yuxuan, which involved the court and the privacy of the royal family, and the court would definitely not allow such an organization to exist anymore. Seeing that everyone was very curious about the huge bookshelf in Tingyu Xuan, Lin Ling didn't care, turned his head and saw that the know-it-all was depressed, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled the know-it-all into the gang, but now Tingyuxuan can't continue to operate.
"You don't have to worry, after I leave Tingyuxuan, this place will be handed over to you." Lin Ling patted the jack-of-all-trades on the shoulder and said, "Change your name, you can still run it, as long as it doesn't involve sensitive things in the imperial court." Calling all of you here today, I also have something to announce. ”
The know-it-all has already vaguely guessed Lin Ling's identity, coupled with the boiling Qing princess incident in the capital now, anyone with a little brain can think that this is the famous Qing princess in front of him. However, before Lin Ling didn't reveal his identity, he couldn't break it, and sat silently on the side.
"Everyone!" Lin Ling raised his voice and said, and the courtyard fell silent, "I called everyone here today to ask you to help me do one last thing." My identity, maybe some of you have also guessed it, that's right, I am the princess of Qing. I opened this Tingyuxuan also to save the prince. But now, one of my twin sons has been kidnapped and missing, so I need everyone's help! ”
"If the girl is in trouble, we should help each other!" Wang Erxiao said in a loud voice, and the others also nodded in agreement. It's just that some people are really stupid, but they didn't expect that the person in front of them was the Qing princess, and they were stupid for a while to digest the facts.
"Thank you." Lin Ling nodded sincerely, "But there is one thing I also want you to know." ”
When Lin Ling said this, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he had mixed feelings. She has been listening to Yuxuan for three or four months, and she and this group of people will listen to Yuxuan's business well. She did this for a purpose, and now, the goal is about to be achieved, and she is about to leave, which is really a little reluctant.
"Because of my personal reasons, I have asked everyone to inquire about the affairs of the court officials many times, and I am really sorry." Lin Ling said apologetically, "The emperor has spoken, if you listen to Yuxuan like this, you will not be able to operate anymore." So, when I'm gone, the know-it-all will take over, change the name, and continue to operate, so you don't have to worry too much. Wang Erxiao, what about you, continue to work hard and help the know-it-all manage well. ”
"What? Girl, you're leaving? Wang Erxiao said in disbelief, "The emperor doesn't allow us to inquire about the officials, so let's not inquire, the girl is gone, how can I still run Yuxuan?" ”
"Isn't there a jack of all trades?" Lin Ling smiled, waved his hand, and said, "None of this matters, what matters is whether any of you know my son's whereabouts!" Who is wandering around the Qing Palace, if there is anything suspicious, hurry up and say it! ”
The know-it-all also stood up and said, "The girl has never treated you badly, and you have made a lot of money in your pockets." At this time, the girl is in trouble, you boys have to use snacks, if you don't know, hurry up and inquire, and if you know, hurry up and say, don't grind! ”
A person stood up hesitantly and said, "I have been wandering around the back streets of the Qing Emperor's Mansion for the past few days, and occasionally I hear the cry of a child, and I don't know if it is what the girl is looking for." Don't worry, girl, I'll inquire again! ”
"Yes, a few of you will also go with you, and you will come back to report when the inquiry is clear!" The know-it-all sent two more people to follow.
The rest of the people also spontaneously dispersed and went out to inquire about the news.
Lin Ling was hesitating whether to go to the Qing Palace, but saw Chen Huiniang walking in.
"Things in this world, it's really uncertain, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and now the situation has taken a big turn." Chen Huiniang smiled and sat on the chair opposite Lin Ling, "Some time ago, you even had to hide and hide when you entered the Qing Palace, but now, it's okay, I'll take you back, you are the serious hostess of the Qing Palace." ”
Lin Ling, who listened to Chen Huiniang's fluttering words, was upset, she frowned and said, "Don't go around in circles, is my son in your hands!" ”
"This tastes good at Yuxuan tea." Chen Huiniang took a sip of weak tea, nodded, and said, "Presumably you are also in a hurry these days, don't worry, they are the blood and blood of the prince, and the Qing Wangfu is their real home, I just took them home." Princess, if you want to see your son, come with me. ”
Lin Ling looked cold, stood up, and prepared to go with Chen Huiniang.
Ashin stopped him and said coldly: "Mrs. Chen, you said that the little master is in your hands, what evidence do you have?" How do we know you're not lying to us? ”
Chen Huiniang curled the corners of her mouth and looked at Ashin sneeringly: "If you don't believe it, forget it, you don't like to go." ”
"Let's go!" Lin Ling had a cold face and coldly spit out these three words.
Chen Huiniang didn't mind how many people followed, so she got into the carriage and drove towards the Qing Palace.
"Miss, this may be one of her bureaus! You can't go! Ashin persuaded unrelentingly.
"Aren't there so many of you following?" Lin Ling glanced at the five or six guards behind him, "Besides, no matter what, I have to go." The child is in her hands, what can I do but listen to her? Let's go! ”
Soon arrived at the Qing Palace, Lin Ling asked a few people to protect her in the dark, and he walked in with Ashin.
Walk through the front porch, through the hall, and go straight to the backyard. As soon as Lin Ling stepped in, he sensed that something was wrong. As soon as she glanced at it, she saw a lot of black-clothed people crawling on the roof, and then turned her head, the subordinates sweeping the floor in the courtyard and the maid rings standing seemed to be full of martial arts.
Chen Huiniang stood at the door of a side room and said, "Princess, come in." Ashin, you are guarding outside, we women speak, you don't need to listen. Ashin opened his mouth to retort, but Lin Ling patted his hand and signaled him to be calm.
Lin Ling walked over, Chen Huiniang pushed the door open, Lin Ling was a little nervous, and quickened his steps, but there was nothing in the room.
Chen Huiniang asked Lin Ling to sit down, poured her tea, and said, "Princess, don't worry, the child is in this courtyard, if we negotiate, I will naturally let you see the child." ”
"Whatever you want to talk about, you have to let me see the child first!" Lin Ling said coldly.
"Good!" Chen Huiniang clapped her hands in compromise, "Come on, bring the child over." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a wet nurse walked in with her sleeping child in her arms. Lin Ling's heart was hot, she hadn't seen a child for four or five months, and she had already thought about it. The child grew up fast, she almost didn't know it, there was a mole above the child's left eyebrow, it was a big Qi Mo, she reached out to take it.
Chen Huiniang stopped Lin Ling: "I've seen it now, let's get down to business." ”
Lin Ling immediately came back to his senses and looked behind the nurse: "What about the other one?" ”
"I'm the only one here." Chen Huiniang raised her eyebrows and motioned for the nurse to take the child out.
Lin Ling was angry: "How is it possible? My two sons are together, and you have taken one captive, and what about the other? I don't believe you'll be merciful and take only one! Lin Ling approached Chen Huiniang step by step, as long as anyone dared to touch her child, she would definitely not let that person go.
Chen Huiniang was also displeased, and said coldly: "I said that there is only one here, will I lie to you?" Lin Ling, is it not enough for you to calm down and have a good talk with me? You should think that rescuing one is one, otherwise, the prince may have no queen......"
Lin Ling took a deep breath and sat down, trying not to think about Qi Wei's whereabouts now. Now that he knows the whereabouts of a child, he should do his best to rescue him, and then go to save Qi Wei. After these words circulated in his mind a few times, Lin Ling finally calmed down and said lightly, "What do you want to talk to me about?" ”
"The person I can talk to you about is naturally the prince." Chen Huiniang fiddled with the lid of the teacup and said bitterly, "You and the prince are in love, and now you have a pair of twins, how happy and happy, it seems that I am a superfluous person." I can do my part to rescue the prince, but I'm not reconciled! Lin Ling, how can you be virtuous, where are you better than me? Why does the prince like you......"
"I don't want to hear that! Directly say what are you going to do to let Qi Mo go! Lin Ling frowned and said, this path was also chosen by Chen Huiniang herself, and she has no qualifications to complain about unfairness now. If there was still a trace of sympathy and pity for her in the past, after she kidnapped Qi Mo, it would have disappeared completely.
Chen Huiniang smiled and said, "My condition is that if you leave the prince, I will release Qi Mo immediately!" ”
Lin Ling pursed her lips and didn't speak, staring at Chen Huiniang coldly.
"I know it's a bit too much." Chen Huiniang seemed to be very understanding and said, "You have to think about it, if you don't leave the prince, maybe your child will lose his arms and legs." If you take the initiative to leave the prince, I can still save your son's life, and you can also take your son to live a peaceful life elsewhere, isn't it better? ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Lin Ling stood up, "Then you can give me back the child, right?" ”
"You swear and swear by me!" Chen Huiniang also stood up, "You promised so happily, I'm really a little worried!" Remember my conditions, take the initiative to leave the prince, and cut off contact with the prince! And you can't tell the prince that I made you do this! ”
"Okay, I promise you, I took the initiative to leave the prince and cut off contact with the prince, and I can't tell the prince that you forced me to do this." Lin Ling nodded, "If I violate, there will be thunder and thunder on the same day, and I will never see my child again!" Well, this oath is ruthless enough, isn't it? Seeing Chen Huiniang nodding, Lin Ling said again, "Then, before that, I have to meet the prince, if I don't say goodbye, the prince will definitely be suspicious, isn't it?" ”
Chen Huiniang nodded: "Okay, after you say goodbye to the prince, I will return the child to you, I want to make sure that you don't play any tricks, otherwise...... Let's just break the net! No one can get any good! ”
"I never wanted to break the net with you!" Lin Ling said coldly, "Chen Huiniang, since I promised you so happily, do you have to tell me where my other son is?" ”
"You don't have to worry about the other child, the prince has already gone to save him." Chen Huiniang smiled faintly.
Lin Ling's eyebrows furrowed: "What do you mean?" ”
"The little one is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, what will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do, how can I know?" Chen Huiniang pressed the corner of her forehead and said, "You can do it yourself, this Qing Wangfu was originally your home, I will leave first, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with." ”
Coming out of the Qing Palace, Lin Ling instructed the ghost to go back and let the people who listened to Yuxuan stop inquiring, and he returned to the palace again.
The emperor gave Lin Ling a waist card, so she easily arrived at the Taihe Palace, thinking that Long Yuze would read a book inside, but she only saw the eunuch who usually served them standing stupidly in the room, and Long Yuze didn't know where to go.
"Princess Qing, the prince has something to do, you can rest first." The eunuch said with a smile.
Lin Ling frowned and said, "The emperor gave the prince a grounding, how can he just go out if he says it?" Tell me honestly, where did the prince go? If you wait for the emperor to come up and ask, I'll see how you explain! You better tell me the truth quickly, and I'll go and get the prince back!" ”
"This ......," said the eunuch hesitantly.
Lin Lingban lowered his face: "Don't say it soon!" Is there anything I can't know? ”
"The whereabouts of the prince are not known, but the slave knows that the prince is going to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been here this morning." The eunuch said mysteriously.
"Then where do you think the prince will go?" Lin Ling was a little worried, the prince threatened Long Yuze with the child, it was nothing more than for the queen's mother, today was the last day, the prince must be desperate, and put all his hopes on the child. She didn't worry about Long Yuze no matter what conditions she agreed, what she was worried about was that the prince sent people to encircle and suppress Long Yuze in anger, if that was the case, it would be a big deal.
The eunuch was only serving in the Taihe Palace, and he was bought by Long Yuze, and he didn't know the specific things at all, and Lin Ling couldn't ask anything no matter how much he asked. She had no choice but to plan to go to the East Palace to take a look, the East Palace was the prince's bedroom, and she must be able to ask something when she got there.
Before arriving at the East Palace, Lin Ling felt the tense atmosphere, and she walked in vigilantly, but was stopped.
"I am the princess of Qing, and I ask to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Ling raised his chin and said.
The guard shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace, so Princess Qing should please go back." ”
"Oh? But the emperor ordered me to come over and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over, saying that it was for the queen's mother's affairs, why was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not there? Lin Ling looked surprised, retracted his steps, and said slowly, "No, that's better!" Ashin, let's go back to the Taihe Temple! With that, Lin Ling turned around and left.
After walking ten steps away, Lin Ling said in a low voice: "Ashin, keep an eye on that person and see where he goes!" ”
If it was about the queen, that guard would definitely not dare to delay, and would definitely go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Sure enough, after Lin Ling and Ashin turned around and hid behind a big tree, the guard left the East Palace, and Lin Ling and Ashin hurriedly followed. There were palace maids and eunuchs back and forth along the way, so the guard didn't walk fast, and Lin Ling followed cautiously. I thought I would go out of the palace, but I didn't expect to keep walking to the northwest corner, walking, there were fewer and fewer people, and the guard's pace was getting faster and faster.
This is also a temple where no one lives, not like the bleak and desolate cold palace, but a little spacious.
There were many guards guarding the door of the palace, and the guard went in after saying a few words, Lin Ling and Ashin didn't dare to approach, so they could only watch from a distance.
The sky gradually darkened, and when twilight fell, Lin Ling became anxious, and pushed Ah Xin and said, "You carefully jump on the wall and see if the prince is inside, I'm a little worried." ”
Ashin nodded, walked a little back, got up slightly, and looked into the courtyard.
In the wide courtyard, there were many people, and in the middle were Long Yuze and the prince, and the two were facing each other, saying that they couldn't hear anything. Ashin didn't dare to look at it anymore after taking a look, the person guarding here had a strong evil spirit, and he was afraid that if he looked at it any longer, he would definitely be discovered. Ashin cautiously pulled back, whispered about the situation inside, and said, "Miss, there is a lot of murder here, let's hurry back and report to the emperor!" ”
Lin Ling also knew that something was wrong, so he nodded and planned to leave temporarily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up, I heard the cry of a child.
"Wei'er!" Lin Ling was shocked, he couldn't care about anything, and he wanted to rush in.
"Miss!" Ashin hurriedly grabbed Lin Ling, "Don't be impulsive! ”
The child's crying was getting louder and louder, mixed with the man's angry roar, Lin Ling didn't dare to think about it anymore, broke free of Ashin's hand, and said, "Hurry up and report to the emperor, I'm going to save Wei'er!" Ashin, it's up to you! With that, she rushed in without hesitating anything.
Ashin couldn't stop him, so he could only fly and jump up to find the emperor.
Long Yuze and the crown prince were negotiating, and both of them were condensed, especially Long Yuze.
The prince held the child in his hand and teased carelessly, but the child's crying became louder and louder, and the prince became more and more impatient, and said coldly: "It's not impossible for me to hand over the child to you, I'll give it back to you if I cut off my left arm!" Don't delay, I'm impatient! ”
"You dignified prince, you actually rebelled!" Long Yuze clenched his fists, "My father has promised to release your mother, but you still want to use the child to threaten you, are you worthy of being the king of a country?" ”
"I didn't ask for your life, it's already considered merciful!" The prince stretched out his hand and pinched Qi Wei's neck, "If you grind and chirp again, I will work hard, this little child's neck is thin and tender enough, I'm afraid that I will break it by accident, you have to think carefully!" ”
"Don't!" Lin Ling rushed in and shouted. hand, said: "You hurry up and report to the emperor, I want to save Wei'er!" Ashin, it's up to you! With that, she rushed in without hesitating anything.
Ashin couldn't stop him, so he could only fly and jump up to find the emperor.
Long Yuze and the crown prince were negotiating, and both of them were condensed, especially Long Yuze.
