Because of Ashin, the road from the Black Forest to the capital was shortened a lot, and in less than a month, the two of them sat in the largest restaurant in the capital. Lin Ling planned to find an inn to settle down before making plans. The only thing she is glad about now is that most of the ordinary people in the capital don't know her, which allows her to walk through the streets without restraint.

"Miss, what are you going to do next?" Ashin and Lin Ling sat at the same table, and now his relationship with Lin Ling is more of a friend, on an equal footing, rather than a subordinate relationship between the master and the guard.

Looking at the endless flow of people on the road, Lin Ling paused and said: "Now, I don't know anything about Long Yuze's whereabouts, and hearsay is really not credible. The most important thing now is to inquire about Long Yuze's whereabouts before making the next plans. In this capital, the only person I can ask for help is the Qinhou Mansion. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Ling couldn't help biting her lip, she had promised Bo Yizhu not to come back, but she still broke her promise. She thought that Long Yuze would succeed and then pick her up. Unexpectedly, it was she who turned back again to inquire about Long Yuze's whereabouts. She knew that the road would be difficult, and she knew that she would ask a lot of people, but it didn't matter, she could.

After finishing the meal, the two found a relatively quiet inn, Ashin first went to Qinhou's Mansion to inquire about the news, and Lin Ling wandered around the street to see if he could find out any useful news. There were shabby notices on the walls of some street corners, and Lin Ling looked at them carefully, which were notices for arresting the rebels. Looking at the tattered paper, the incident of a year ago should have come to an end.

"You stinky bitch! Eating and drinking at home all day long and not doing anything, I bought you as a wife because I saw how beautiful you are, but I didn't expect it to be a lazy thing! Suddenly, a man's angry scolding voice came from the secluded alley, "Let me tell you, no matter how beautiful you used to be, since you married me, you are my mother-in-law, let you do things obediently, don't have a leg ache and a stomachache every once in a while!" You still think you're a delicate lady, don't you? ”

A big man scolded and scolded, Lin Ling couldn't stand it, walked over and picked up the woman who was lying on the ground crying, and said, "What kind of man is a big man who scolds his wife on the street?" She's like this, and if you still beat and scold, she can go to the yamen to sue you, and see how you exonerate at that time! ”

"Hmph, she's my mother-in-law, I can beat me if I want, it's your business!" The man's voice was tough, seeing that Lin Ling's bearing was extraordinary, and the clothes on his body were excellent, he was afraid that some kind of powerful lady would scold him twice, and then he turned around and entered the house, and closed the door with a "bang".

Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief, if the man indiscriminately even beat her together, she really couldn't do it, she was sensitive now, how could she have the courage to go to the yamen to complain? She picked up the embarrassed woman and said softly: "Since your husband treats you like this, it is better to reconcile and leave, even if you hold a letter of resignation, it is better than being beaten and scolded every day......"

The woman who bowed her head and sobbed slowly raised her head, her hair falling apart, revealing a pair of eyes full of tears. Lin Ling only felt that the person in front of her was very familiar, she squinted and thought, but she couldn't think of anything, that name was about to come out.

"Princess, is it a princess? I'm Mingyue! The woman opened her mouth in disbelief, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Ling was also extremely surprised: "Ming...... Mingyue, Ming's concubine? ”

Mingyue nodded, consciously broke free from Lin Ling's support, and took a step back: "Princess...... The concubine is no longer the concubine of the palace, but now she is just a people's woman......"

Mingyue's voice was low and poignant, and after three or five steps, Lin Ling carefully looked at the woman in front of her. When I first saw Mingyue, it was almost two years ago, and at that time, she was also low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, but she was also very well dressed, although there was no bright happiness in her eyebrows and eyes, but it was quiet and peaceful. And now, her clothes were dirty, not even as good as those worn by the lowest-ranking girls in the palace, her hair was messy, there were no hairpin rings, and there were black marks on her cheeks, which were either dirty or left by beatings.

"Let's sit and talk." Lin Ling sighed, tidied up Mingyue's hair, and took her to the nearest teahouse, the two of them sat in the private room, she called two pots of good tea, and asked carefully about what happened this year.

This year, Chen Huiniang sent all the concubines in the palace, of course, only to the last three concubines. The previous seven or eight were all sent to Zhuangzi by Lin Ling, and later returned the deed of sale to them. Since the change in the palace, Chen Huiniang began to rectify the palace, the old people in the past have rushed to the suburbs of Beijing to guard Zhuangzi, and the slaves under the maid ring have been changed, all of them are Chen Huiniang's own people.

"Princess, the concubine's current situation is quite good...... Mingyue slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Concubine Chen...... No, Mrs. Chen returned the deed of sale to us, Jasmine used to be a famous Oiran, and when she left the palace, she had nowhere else to go, so she had to go to the Qinglou again. But after all, she is also old, and now life in Qinglou is better than death...... There is also that glass, she was given to the prince by His Royal Highness the Prince, since the prince was imprisoned, she was sold by Mrs. Chen at a low price, and the concubine heard that she is now making a ring for a big family...... And the concubine has been taken care of by the prince over the years, and she also has some savings, and she also has relatives to go to. But the concubine's aunt didn't know anyone clearly, so she married the concubine to such a person......"

As she spoke, Mingyue's tears flowed out again and fell into the tea.

Lin Ling sighed for a while, she couldn't do anything to these three concubines with their own backgrounds before, but she didn't expect Chen Huiniang to seize the opportunity and send them away immediately. Now there is no male owner in the palace, and she, the rightful princess, is also missing, and everything is decided by Chen Huiniang.

However, what is the point of Chen Huiniang doing this?

"Princess, aren't you missing?" Mingyue sorted out her emotions and asked.

Lin Ling didn't want to talk about this matter, and said with a smile: "At that time, it was just to avoid the limelight, but now I see that the capital has stopped, so come back and take a look." Mingyue, you must keep it secret for me, and don't tell others about my return. ”

"Princess, don't worry, the concubine will be tight-lipped." Mingyue nodded.

Lin Ling didn't believe much in Mingyue, a poor person who would forget his promise for the sake of some interests. She took Mingyue to the street, bought her some food and clothing, and bought some things for Mingyue's current man. Although she is not rich now, it is no problem to fool Mingyue and the man who is in the bag.

Sure enough, when the man saw that Lin Ling had bought so many things so politely, his attitude suddenly improved, and he pretended to ask Mingyue for warmth. At least there was no more scolding, Mingyue relaxed a little, and threw a grateful glance at Lin Ling.

Pulling out of the secluded alley, Lin Ling couldn't help but go around to the back door of the Qing Palace.

The two guards who used to guard the back door were really replaced by two people that Lin Ling didn't know, but those two people didn't know her either, and when they saw her circling around the door, they just stared at her vigilantly. Lin Ling didn't want to cause trouble, so he observed it slightly, and then left and returned to the inn.

Thinking about Chen Huiniang being named Mrs. Yipin, Lin Ling thought secretly. Long Yuze was imprisoned, except for the parties involved, anyone else and anything related to the palace did not seem to be implicated, Chen Huiniang even rose from the second-rank county lord to the first-rank lady, it can be seen that the emperor did not give up on Long Yuze, or rather, did not plan to kill Long Yuze.

Moreover, I heard that the emperor also allowed Chen Huiniang to enter the palace to visit Long Yuze once on the fifteenth of every month.

The reason why the emperor was able to become the emperor must have been through a bloody storm. Therefore, the emperor should also be able to expect that once he dies, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not let go of his most distressed son. Therefore, the emperor must have made complete preparations, and after watching so many TV series, he can only send Long Yuze to the frontier, or give him a gold medal for avoiding death.

But none of this worked, the emperor was still in good health, and his death would be a few years later. But when he thought that Long Yuze would be imprisoned for a few more years, Lin was full of irritability. A few years later, when they went to the Black Forest to pick up their children, she dared to guarantee that the two little dolls would not know them, and if they knew that one of them was a father and the other was a mother, she would hate them to death.

You must enter the palace, you must see Long Yuze!

Lin Ling secretly made up her mind that her IQ was not very good, and she would always enter a dead end if she thought about it. When she meets Long Yuze and sees what he plans, the strength of the two of them will be used together, and the chance of success will be greater.

"Miss, Miss!" Ashin suddenly rushed into the room anxiously and drank all the tea in his cup in one go.

"What's wrong? Take your time. Lin Ling's heart was also raised, Qin Yiyan was her only way, and she must not go wrong.

Ashin replied: "Miss, the guards of this Qinhou Mansion are comparable to the imperial palace, and not a single fly can fly in. I didn't want to startle the snake, so I almost knew from the guard at the door that Miss Qin was going to get married recently, and this family affair had been decided for half a year, and Miss Qin had escaped over the wall countless times in the past six months, and she was all caught. Qin Xiaohou Ye also had no way to put Miss Qin under house arrest, and also sent many people to guard the Qin Hou Mansion, so the young lady was afraid that it would take some time to go to the Qin Hou Mansion. ”

"Qin Keke is getting married? Have you ever asked who she is marrying? Lin Ling asked in surprise, this Qin Keke always liked to trouble her before, it was just because she became a princess, but she didn't marry the man she loved as she wished, and now she is finally going to get married?

Ashin thought for a while and said, "It seems that he is married to the son of a general, but I don't know the specifics." ”

"I don't know my identity now, I definitely can't go to Qinhou Mansion rashly, when others ask me who I am, I can't answer, so I can only sneak in." Lin Ling snapped his fingers and said, "Since the Qinhou Mansion is going to hold a happy event, then we will pretend to be a congratulatory person and blend in." Even if you can't see Qin Yiyan, you should be able to see Xiaoge. ”

"Okay, just follow Miss's plan." Ashin nodded.

The marriage between the General's Mansion and the Qinhou Mansion also caused waves in the capital, one of which was naturally the strong alliance of the two big families, and everyone inevitably had to guess. Second, this young lady of the Qinhou Mansion has escaped countless times within half a year after setting up her family, and everyone in the capital has known it. Therefore, on this wedding day, there are not a few people who watch the excitement, and they all want to see what tricks this Miss Qin has to escape from the sedan chair or from the lobby.

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Qin Keke removed the phoenix crown on his head and roared angrily, "You all get out of here!" ”

In the past half a year, it has been commonplace for them to be beaten and scolded, and it is very clear that if the young lady is angry, it must be another good beating, so they all stand aside obediently. It's just that when Qin Keke was about to go out, she immediately automatically formed a wall, blocking her way.

"You guys!" Qin Keke angrily picked up the scissors, and before everyone could stop her, she cut the wedding dress on her body into pieces.

"Coco, why are you losing your temper again?" Bo Yizhu walked in with a cold face, "Today is your big day, people with heads and faces in the capital are here, are you going to embarrass the Qinhou Mansion?" What are you still doing in a daze? A few of you come over to put on the lady's makeup, and a few of you hurry up to get a new wedding dress. ”

"I don't even listen to my mother and brother, why should I listen to you?" Qin Keke roared at Bo Yizhu, "You just bring all the wedding dresses, take a few and I'll cut a few!" ”

"It's your own wedding dress, and when the time comes, you will wear tattered and get married, and it's not us who will be laughed at!" Bo Yizhu sneered, she had long expected that Qin Keke would go crazy, so she specially ordered someone to prepare a few more sets of wedding clothes, although there were spare ones, but she couldn't help Qin Keke to be so messy.

"Yes, yes, the water spilled by the married daughter is not the face of the Qin family anyway!" Qin Keke's voice seemed to be about to lift the roof, and several maids wanted to come over to dress her up, but she kicked them over.

"Then you have to marry out!" Bo Yizhu coldly turned his head and ordered, "Someone!" ”

As he spoke, a few stout men came in, twisted Qin Keke, and then fed her a pill. Qin Keke immediately pursed her mouth, but she was still a step too late, the pill melted in her mouth, and she struggled desperately: "Bo Yizhu, what did you feed me?" Don't think you're my sister-in-law, so you dare to do this to me! My mother and my brother don't dare to force me, who are you? Why do you ......" scolding, Qin Keke's voice became smaller and smaller, and he slumped weakly in the chair, at the mercy of Yahuan.

Bo Yizhu nodded, walked in front of Qin Keke, bent down and said: "As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the mother eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, so my marriage is naturally my concern." As for Master Hou, he is now entertaining guests in the front hall, and he has no time to take care of you. My task today is to send you out of the door smoothly, and nothing else is beyond my control. ”

Qin Keke's eyes widened, staring at Bo Yizhu fiercely.

Bo Yizhu smiled lightly, got up and walked out: "You guys take care of the young lady's makeup, and you will be rewarded when the time comes!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and immediately quickly dressed up for Qin Keke.

Lin Ling and Ah Xin successfully entered the Qinhou Mansion, and it was not difficult to disguise themselves as the family members and maids from other mansions to sneak in. The reason why this Qin Hou Mansion is heavily guarded is just because he is worried that Qin Keke will escape from marriage at this time, and he will strictly check the people who leave the mansion, but he is still relatively lenient for those who enter the mansion.

Lin Ling was familiar with the road, and soon arrived at the courtyard where Ma Xiaoge lived before. Compared to the busy front yard, it is unusually quiet. And there is not even a guard at the gate of the courtyard, I am afraid that even the maid who serves tea and water on weekdays has gone to the front hall to entertain guests. Lin Ling asked Ashin to guard at the door and walked in lightly.

Before she could go inside, she saw a figure walk out, and she was so startled that she almost screamed.

"Ahh Ahh

"Ge, don't scream! It's me, it's me! Lin Ling hurriedly covered Ma Xiaoge's mouth and dragged her into the house. Just as a maid came over and asked outside the door, "Aunt Ma, what do you command?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, you go and get busy first, and by the way, send someone to tell Madame, I'll be there soon. Ma Xiaoge's voice was still shaking.

The girl answered and withdrew.

"Xiao Ling, why did you suddenly appear, you're scared to death!" Ma Xiaoge patted his chest, "Fortunately, the Hou Mansion is busy today, otherwise it will be seen by the maids who come and go, how will you get out?" ”

Lin Ling smiled: "Don't worry, no one will find me." It was only when I saw that there was a happy event in the Hou Mansion today that I got in. I came to you to try my luck, I didn't expect you to really live here! ”

"Where else would I live?" Ma Xiaoge also smiled, "Why didn't you bring me a letter when you suddenly returned to Beijing......

The two of them sat on the edge of Ma Xiaoge's bed, and you and I chatted one sentence at a time.

As soon as he said a few words that were not painful, he suddenly heard the sound of artillery roaring, and Ma Xiaoge hurriedly stood up in shock: "Oh, just talking to you, I forgot that I still have something!" Today Coco got married, Mrs. was busy in the front hall alone, just now I sent someone over to let me help, Xiaoling, you are waiting for me in my yard, there are many guests today, generally no one will come, when I am done, I will come to you again! I haven't seen you in a year, and I still have a lot to say to you! ”

"Okay, you go get busy first!" Lin Ling waved her hand, Ma Xiaoge is now an aunt, many things are involuntary, Bo Yizhu let her go, she has no reason to refuse, even if there is an old person to come. What's more, she, an old man, is really a little disgraced for the time being. Although there were a lot of things I wanted to ask Ma Xiaoge, I could only let her go.

Lin Ling sat in Ma Xiaoge's courtyard for a while, and then felt that he had nothing to do, and it was really not a way to wait. But Qin Yiyan must be very busy now, and she was afraid that she would not be idle until the evening, so she simply called Ashin in. I'm going to recharge my batteries first and then solve big things in the evening. sound, Ma Xiaoge hurriedly stood up in shock: "Oh, just talking to you, I forgot that I still have something!" Today Coco got married, Mrs. was busy in the front hall alone, just now I sent someone over to let me help, Xiaoling, you are waiting for me in my yard, there are many guests today, generally no one will come, when I am done, I will come to you again!
