Chapter 101: Single-mindedness
In the deepest part of his heart, Lin Ling always wanted to believe that Long Yuze was for her good, so he pushed her away desperately.
The reason is just that Long Yuze knew that it was a war with no chance of winning, so he was unwilling to implicate her.
Lin Ling stroked his abdomen, which was not yet bulging, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Princess, the slave maid sees that you have a sad face all day long, which is not good for the fetus in the womb." Caixia also heard some rumors from outside, although she didn't know the specific situation, she also knew that the prince must be in a deep state at this time. Seeing Lin Ling sitting in front of the window every day sighing, she didn't know what to say, the news in the capital was tightly covered, and what she heard in Quanzhou was not known to be a rumor that had been spread several times, and its credibility and authenticity were greatly reduced. Even her maid wants to go to the capital to find out a thing or two, let alone the princess.
Lin Ling smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the child in her womb, she would have gone to the capital a long time ago.
After that toss of her body, all kinds of resistance ability decreased greatly, and a little cold wind blew, and the whole person began to chill. She wanted to go to the capital to find out, but when she thought of her body and the child in her womb that had not yet taken shape, she became timid.
She glanced at Caixia and said with a forced smile: "Ashin's body is almost fine, it's time to get married to you." Now in Quanzhou, no better than the capital, I can only do my best to buy you a lively wedding. ”
"Princess, there is no need to rush this matter...... I'll talk about it after the little boy is born......" Caixia lowered her head and excused herself.
Lin Ling only regarded her as ashamed, and said with a smile: "When the child is born, it will be the second half of next year, I can't wait." The wedding is scheduled for three days later, and then I will ask the officiator of Tokushoji Temple to be your witness......"
"Miss!" Just as Lin Ling was talking about Xingtou, Ashin suddenly walked into the house, interrupted Lin Ling's words, and looked serious, "Cancel the marriage contract between my subordinates and Miss Caixia!" ”
Lin Ling glanced at Caixia, who lowered her head, and then at the stubborn Ashin, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
Caixia raised her head nervously, stared at Ashin with a frown, and shook her head at him.
Ashin hesitated and didn't speak, but his face was stubborn.
Lin Ling saw the interaction between the two and knew that there must be something in it that she didn't know. After she was framed for having an affair with Luo Wenjie, Ashin and Caixia were also designed to frame each other privately, maybe what happened in the middle of her unknown is unknown. Thinking of this, Lin Ling spoke: "As long as the two of you think it's good to cancel the marriage, then I will definitely not interfere, but can you tell me what happened?" ”
Caixia wrung her fingers uneasily, biting her lip and not speaking.
Ashin paused and said in a low voice: "Miss, Ashin doesn't want to marry a wife, let alone destroy other people's marriages, so let's ask Miss to cancel the wedding." As for the reason, if Miss Caixia is willing to tell, her subordinates will tell Miss, but if Miss Caixia is unwilling, then Ashin is absolutely tight-lipped. After speaking, he looked at Caixia.
Caixia lowered her head, stood up suddenly, and ran out of the house without saying a word.
"Ashin, you're sitting here!" Lin Ling pointed to the chair at hand, and said lightly, "Although I am your master, I will not force you to do things you don't like, if there is anything unspeakable, you can tell me, do I have to force you to get married?" Looking at Caixia's appearance, I'm afraid I don't agree with this family business, so let's cancel it. ”
Ashin sat on the chair anxiously, and Lin Ling's serious appearance made him feel a little uneasy.
After a long time, he finally spoke: "Miss, my subordinates have said a long time ago that dead soldiers are not qualified to marry their own children. But since he followed Miss, he naturally had to obey Miss's instructions, and Miss felt that Ashin had a good family and a career, so Ashin would start a family, as long as Miss was happy. But......" Ashin hesitated, "if ...... If Miss Caixia doesn't have a crush on someone in her heart, then her subordinates will obey ......"
"I see." Lin Ling nodded, "In other words, Caixia has someone she likes, so she doesn't want to marry you, right?" ”
Ashin nodded, but shook his head again.
On that day, after he and Caixia were expelled from the Qing Palace, they were penniless, and the two slept in the suburbs all night.
At night, it is easy to explode emotionally, and that night, Caixia said her thoughts.
Her crush is Luo Wenjie.
When Ashin heard the news, he was glad that he had escaped something. However, Caixia said that Luo Wenjie didn't like her. After the accident of the young lady that day, Luo Wenjie did not know where to go, and only after asking around did he find out that the prince tied him up and sent him back to the Black Forest. The Black Forest is far, far away, and it is impossible for a woman who is powerless to walk in, and Caixia is desperate to wash her face with tears.
If Luo Wenjie also likes Caixia, it is a happy relationship, then there is no need to marry Caixia.
Ashin thought so, but things always make people happen, Luo Wenjie went back to the Black Forest, and Caixia couldn't go to the Black Forest. Therefore, Caixia agreed to Miss's proposal and was willing to marry him. But...... He hesitated, if Caixia and Luo Wenjie were put together, then he would have a reason not to get married, what a good thing.
"Miss, Caixia is also loyal to you, since Miss can think about Ashin's family affairs so much, then she should also consider Caixia." Ashin said uneasily, these words seem to be thinking about Caixia, in fact, which point is not for himself? Why don't you want to get married? Ashin was a little confused, and he couldn't tell why.
Lin Ling squinted and thought back, as if she really cared less for Caixia.
When she first entered the palace, it was Qiao'er who served her, and because she fled, Qiao'er was implicated, and even broke her legs. Then when confronting Chen Huiniang, Qiao'er stood on Chen Huiniang's side and came forward to accuse her of poisoning Mrs. Chen. Therefore, she didn't go to Caixia later, thinking that she would have to leave one day.
Unexpectedly, after so many things, Caixia ended up staying by her side.
In the evening, Lin Ling deliberately left Caixia behind.
"You've been serving me for half a year." Lin Ling smiled lightly, "Tell me who the person in your heart is, I won't force you." ”
Caixia cleaned up the dining table neatly, pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Lin Ling sighed: "The life and death of the prince are uncertain now, his whereabouts are unknown, and I, the princess, are just in vain." Besides, I was still kicked out of the Qing Palace, so you don't need to treat me as a master anymore. Tell me anything, if you marry Ashin in a daze, you won't have time to regret it. ”
Caixia let out a low "um", but still didn't speak.
"You go back and think about it yourself, and tell me the results tomorrow." Lin Ling waved his hand tiredly.
Lin Ling is very optimistic about a family affair that is so yellow, and it is false to say that he is not depressed. In the past, when I was in the Qing Palace, there were countless rings, so I could find any one for Ashin. But when I arrived at this Desheng Temple, all of them were monks, and then there was the lady who cooked, so I was afraid that I would not be able to find a good family for Ashin in the short term.
On the second day, Lin Ling went to the market again, this time, she was looking for a house.
Although she doesn't have much silver, the jewelry on her body is rewarded by the emperor, and it is worth a lot of money. But what she has to do now is to buy a quiet and remote small courtyard, and it is not a way to stay in the temple for a long time, after all, on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, there are too many people who enter the incense, and if someone finds her, there is still a certain danger.
She planned to give birth to the child first and let Ashin take care of it, while she went to the capital to find Long Yuze.
After all, the emperor is now in power, and although the prince has the right, he does not dare to attack Long Yuze without authorization. I heard Long Yuze mention it at the beginning, because he was ashamed of the first queen, so the emperor especially loved this second prince. Coupled with the defeat of the crown prince, the emperor is simply fond of Long Yuze.
Therefore, in the recent period, Long Yuze will definitely not have any danger to his life.
But if the crown prince can't wait and murders the emperor, then it's a different matter.
Although she was very worried about Long Yuze's safety, she would never risk the child in her belly.
Lin Ling quickly took a fancy to a house, in the southwest corner of Quanzhou, very secluded, far away from the market, very suitable for living, and the furniture and everything were ready-made, she immediately paid a deposit.
When he returned to Tokushoji Temple and told Ashin about it, Ashin's face immediately changed.
"If Miss has any plans, she must tell Ashin." Ashin said solemnly, the rumors from the capital have spread all over Quanzhou, and the princess of Qing has an accident, and it is impossible for the princess not to care. It's been quiet these days, maybe there's something planned.
Lin Ling nodded: "Ashin, I used to want you to marry a wife, because I wanted you to start a family and have a successor. And now...... You can call me selfish, I want you to marry a wife, I want you and your future wife to take care of the child in my womb. ”
Ashin felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "One person can take care of Miss, and no one else is needed." ”
"How can you take care of a child as a big man?" Lin Ling smiled, patted Ashin's shoulder, and said, "I know what you're worried about these days, although something happened to the prince, I believe he has no worries about his life for the time being." I plan to go to the capital to inquire about the news after giving birth to the child and see if there is any way to save the prince. ”
Ashin said nervously: "Miss, you are a weak woman, how can you save the prince?" If the little boy is born, then miss, are you willing to leave him in Quanzhou without a father and a mother? Miss, the prince has treated you like that, you don't need to go back to him, even if you find it, what if you find it? ”
Lin Ling knew that he couldn't make sense with Ashin, and said with a smile: "This matter is still far away, what are you anxious about?" I saw Caixia standing outside the door for a long time, you go out first, I'll talk to Caixia. ”
Ashin nodded, so he had to walk out, secretly thinking in his heart about how to persuade Lin Ling to stay.
I finally returned to Quanzhou and lived a life without anyone disturbing me, do you want to give up again?
Caixia bit her lip and walked in, and as soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"What do you kneel? Get up! Lin Ling pulled Caixia up, "What do you have to say?" ”
Caixia stood up and said in a low voice: "Princess, the slave grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has never felt the slightest warmth. But the princess has always been very good to the slave and maid, and she does not punish or scold, and the slave and maid are very willing to serve the princess......"
"I know what you want." Lin Ling nodded, "What are you thinking in your heart, just say, don't let me ruin your happiness for no reason." ”
Caixia hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind and said, "Slave maid...... The sweetheart is Luo Gongzi...... Princess, Luo Gongzi is your friend, the slave knows that her status is low, and she can't climb high, so please forgive the princess! ”
"What?" Lin Ling didn't expect it at all, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Caixia hurriedly continued to explain: "But he doesn't like slaves...... The princess, the slave and maid are already dead, so they are willing to marry Ashin. But Ashin didn't seem to be willing to marry a slave, so he ...... So ......" Speaking of the back, Caixia can't say why, in short, she is unwilling to marry. When I agreed to come down, it was just to anger Luo Wenjie.
Lin Ling gradually understood: "In other words, you like Luo Wenjie?" You said Luo Wenjie didn't like you, how did you know? Did you guess it, or did he say it himself? ”
Caixia looked sad, twisted her fingers and said: "He is unwilling to stay in the capital for the sake of the slave maid, and he did not propose to take the slave and maid to the Black Forest together, then there must be no slave and maid in his heart, and the slave and maid will naturally not beg him......"
"That's not right for you to say that." Lin Ling smiled, "Luo Wenjie may not have you in his heart, in fact, you can go to the Black Forest to find him." If Ashin takes you there, you should be able to arrive in more than a month. ”
Lin Ling looked at Caixia with a smile, she herself was also in love with Long Yuze, although she had not been able to determine Long Yuze's heart, but she was willing to go to the capital to find his whereabouts. She likes him, why should she suppress this liking? She had missed too much before, and the uncertainty of her life made her even more eager for this relationship.
So she persuaded Caixia that if she missed it, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
The capital is always full of traffic and flowers.
The largest restaurant is very lively and full.
"Listen to me, only I can inquire about this palace secret." A middle-aged man said in a loud voice, "Some time ago, the prince of Qing led troops into the palace with the intention of seizing the throne, everyone knows about this, right?" Even the crown prince is still looking for the whereabouts of the rest of the party. But there is one thing you don't know, and that is the inner family of the Qing Palace......"
"Don't sell it! Speak up, talk fast! One person couldn't help but exclaim, "We all know that the princess of Naqing was kicked out of the palace by fornicating with the guards." As for Concubine Chen, she is the niece of the queen's mother, and I heard that nothing happened...... Eh, tell me quickly, how did the emperor deal with the Qing prince and the royal family? ”
The man smiled proudly: "I heard that the prince of Qing is imprisoned, and no one is allowed to visit!" The relatives of the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do with the forced palace, so they were not implicated. I'm afraid that the emperor can't bear it, anyway, the Qing prince was locked up alone. Concubine Chen would enter the palace every day to ask for a meeting in the name of the queen's mother, and for many days, she knelt at the door of the courtyard of the Qing prince every day to ask for a meeting. It is said that the emperor was moved and planned to crown Concubine Chen as a first-class lady! ”
"Is there such a thing?" Everyone exclaimed, "Although she is the niece of the queen mother, no matter what, she is only a side concubine, how can this lady let a side concubine do it?" ”
The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Isn't that what is going on in this court?" Concubine Chen must have been sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Qing Palace, and now that the Qing prince is in trouble, she is more and more glamorous, and she must have invited merit, don't you say? ”
In the corner of the restaurant, a woman looked angrily at the man who was talking, and wanted to rush over several times.
"Red tassel, don't be impulsive." Chen Huiniang said lightly, "The people are just having fun, why do you bother to provoke them?" ”
Hongying said unwillingly: "Miss, it's obviously not like this, you didn't betray the prince at all, how can they say that about you?" Now that the Qing prince is locked up in the palace, the young lady is worried every day, and finally comes out to relax, but when she hears such words, shouldn't she teach them a lesson? ”
"Hongying, since it's a distraction, you don't have to cause trouble!" Chen Huiniang frowned and said.
Long Yuze forced the palace to be confined, which was what Chen Huiniang expected. She has been in the palace for a few days, and she still has a little understanding of the strength of the palace, and if she wants to be with the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince, Long Yuze's strength is far from enough. But she also knew that as long as the crown prince did not succeed to the throne, Long Yuze would not have to worry about his life.
And the queen mother was always afraid that Long Yuze's remnants would make trouble, so she forced her to become His Royal Highness the Prince. actually said that the emperor named her Mrs. Yipin. Chen Huiniang couldn't help but sneer, the queen was afraid that she would gather Long Yuze's remnants to rescue Long Yuze, so she used this method to make everyone think that she betrayed the Qing Palace, so that Long Yuze failed to force the palace.
"Miss, let's go home." Hongying said softly.
Chen Huiniang nodded, and said as she walked, "Let's go to Chen's mansion." ”
"Miss, are you really going to do this?" Red Tassel showed a sad expression.
Chen Huiniang said decisively: "Yes, I will still tell my father and mother when necessary, if they can't stand on the united front with me, then I hope they don't stand on the opposite side of me." Hongying, I am now Mrs. Yipin, the wife of the Qing prince, if he is in danger, then the title of 'lady' should not be used. ”
"Miss, the lord and the lady will not agree." Hongying said worriedly.
Chen Huiniang couldn't help but sigh, in order to bring down Lin Ling, she did not hesitate to let her mother eat the food she was allergic to, and from that time on, she knew that her father and mother were dead to her. She insisted on marrying into the Qing Palace, lived an unsatisfactory life, and used the method of hurting her family to fulfill herself, which is a little selfish.
But what can be done? She is in love with Long Yuze.
She is willing to do anything for him.
Even if it's against the whole world.
