The maid who was left outside Zhang's mansion by Ling Yi, after seeing Zhang Tianhao leave the mansion with her own eyes, followed her for a distance and determined that it was the way to the palace, and then returned to Ling's mansion to report to Ling Yi.

Although Zhang Tianhao and Gong Chengyan are in an alliance, in the face of interests, everyone will have selfish intentions, as long as they realize that Princess Haining is a fragrant bun, no one will rush to go.

As for what Zhang Tianhao would say in front of the emperor, this was not the scope of Ling Yi's consideration, in short, it was not a good word.

If the back garden of the Dream Pavilion was destroyed, Ling Yi took the weaving fan and the Hu family to take care of the flowers and plants in the garden again on the second day.

Because of the fire, the vitality of the earlier was completely gone, and the remaining ashes and remnants looked very bleak and bleak.

Hu Shi couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that it took more than half a year to replant, but I'm afraid that it will not be able to bloom until next year." ”

"It's all ordinary flowers and plants, and if it's damaged, it's lost." Ling Yi said with relief, "It's all important, it's nothing." ”

Weaving Fan and Weaving Yu looked at each other and smiled, before Hu Shi could figure it out, he saw that the two sisters had brought out a large number of intact plants out of nowhere, and if they looked closely, they were not planted in the garden before.

"Isn't this - all the flowers and plants in this garden burned? How can there be so many. Hu was surprised.

Weaving Fan explained, "Mother Hu reminded me in time that day, and we kept part of it before the second lady set the fire. ”

Hu Shi was overjoyed, "This is good, let me see, these are still alive, and it will not take a few days to plant them, and they will bloom again." ”

Several people began to divide the work. Ling Yi wanted to help, but was stopped by the three of them, saying that she was not allowed to go to the ground. No way. Ling Yi could only accompany the three of them.

While weaving fans, he remembered that he still had questions, so he took advantage of this time to ask: "Miss, what do you say Zhang Tianhao will say in front of the emperor?" ”

Ling Yi helped water the planted plants, thought for a while, and said, "The status of the Gong family is now one of the best in the court. The emperor didn't have any doubts and worries about him, what do you think? ”

The weaving fan couldn't figure it out, and shook his head directly. Looking at Oriyu, the latter also couldn't figure it out for a while.

Ling Yi smiled and explained, "Because the Gong family is not suspected of forming a party with other courtiers. ”

"If he hadn't formed a party, I'd have gone backwards." Weaving Fan immediately retorted.

Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh. "You don't think it's possible. It's because I've already told you about the relationship between the Gong family and the other big families, but others don't know, I have to say that Gong Chengyan hides it very well in this regard.

It is precisely because of what he did well that the emperor did not doubt it, but if Zhang Tianhao said something, the emperor would definitely doubt it.

The merit is high, and the power can also cover the master. Once the emperor realizes that the power of the Gong family is beyond his control, he will inevitably find a way to reduce it. ”

Then. It's the Ling family's chance.

Provoke Zhang Tianhao and Gong Chengyan, although it cannot completely solve the matter of Princess Haining, it will definitely make the emperor temporarily give up the idea of assigning Princess Haining to the palace family.

Because there were still a lot of flowers and plants left, the four of them were busy all morning before replanting all of them, and the garden suddenly regained a lot of vitality.

While being happy, Zhi Yu couldn't help but worry: "Eldest Miss, after the second miss wakes up, I'm afraid she will come over, these flowers and plants, do you have to send someone to guard them?" ”

Ling Yi thought for a while, shook her head and said: "No, just leave it like this, it won't be noticeable if it's left unattended, she has suffered a loss, I'm afraid it's too late to hide, as for Lingxiu, the protector is not good, and she is left to do nothing." ”

After leaving Ruomeng Pavilion, Ling Yi went to see the Lan Clan.

Lan looks a lot older these days, and there are frequent incidents in the house, and her heart is not relaxed for a moment.

When Ling Yi went, the latter was drinking tea, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something difficult.

"What is Grandmother thinking?" Ling Yi stepped forward to greet him.

"You're here, here, you're here." Lan asked Ling Yi to sit beside him, took her hand, and was silent for a while before sighing, "I'm wondering if it's the best way to send it to another courtyard." ”

Ling Yi said softly: "My aunt did something wrong, if she is not punished, it will encourage her, but the punishment is too much, and it seems that our Ling family is cold, after all, she has been in the house for more than ten years, and she was sent to another hospital for the elderly, just right." ”

Lan nodded: "I think so too, but-hey-people, if she is not evil, she will not suffer so many crimes, if she is an An An's wife, my Ling family, where will I treat her badly." ”

Ling Yidao was, seeing that Lan's eye sockets were blue and black, he knew that the latter hadn't slept well in the past few days, and said worriedly: "Grandmother, can't you sleep these days, I'll make you some soothing soup at night." ”

"Or are you filial." Lan said with a smile, and remembered that he didn't ask her if there was something wrong with her, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with you coming here?" ”

Ling Yi snorted and said gloomily: "I asked Doctor Lu, and he said that my sister's face is only afraid that it will not be completely better, I am very sad, no one around my sister can take good care of her, if she wakes up, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept." ”

Lan couldn't help but sigh, she was not prejudiced against Ling Hui, but in the past year, the latter seemed to have suddenly changed, becoming less generous and considerate than before, and no longer gentle and sensible.

On the contrary, Ling Yi is becoming more mature and intelligent, and sensible, so compared to the two, she likes Ling Yi more and more.

Ling Yi continued: "Grandmother, that Lingxiu, who has been with her little sister for many years, even let her suffer such a injury, it is not good to protect the lord like this, if you continue to keep her, I am afraid it will make my sister sad." ”

Ling Hui's poisoning, Lingxiu can completely stop it, the master is killed, and the slave and maid must be in front of the master as soon as possible, but Lingxiu is very dignified, except for crying and complaining that Ling Yi has been wronged, she has done nothing.

The Lan clan was already angry at Lingxiu, but he only gave people a beating that day, thinking that after all, he was Ling Hui's personal maid, so he didn't drive out of Ling's mansion.

can be mentioned by Ling Yi like this, Lingxiu is indeed not good for the protector, such a person, if he stays, he can't say what will happen in the future.

After thinking about it, he said, "No, it's okay." Give some money to drive out, and Cuiwei Pavilion will change the maid again.

"Who's going to do that? I'm just afraid that my sister won't wake up and don't follow, and I think it's not suitable for anyone to use. It's a good thing that she's soft-hearted and kind, but there are some mistakes, if she makes it once, there is no room for recovery, and her aunt is going to another hospital, so I'm afraid it's even more difficult for my sister to accept it. ”

Lan thought for a moment and instructed Cheng, "Go to my courtyard and find a clever one." Send it to Cuiwei Pavilion, and serve by the second lady's side in the future. ”

Cheng said, go down and choose people.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ling Yi's mouth. Her purpose was to let the Lan clan send her own people over, first, to suppress Ling Hui, and second, to monitor, presumably so. Ling Hui didn't dare to mess around easily anymore.

Ran's does what he says. Three days later, let Cheng personally go out and lead people to send Zou to the other courtyard, and also left a number of his own people in the other courtyard to watch, if Zou wanted to go out, the people would not recognize her as the master.

Before leaving, Ling Hui hadn't woken up yet, and Ling Shandao avoided her because he was so disappointed in her. Ren Zou cried and shouted all the way, except for the expressionless subordinates. No one paid attention to her.

Ling Hui woke up the day after Zou left, and when she saw the scars on her face, she cried out angrily, shouting that she wanted to seek revenge on Ling Yi.

But the Lan clan had already instructed the maid Fu'er who was sent to Cuiwei Pavilion not to let Ling Hui leave Cuiwei Pavilion no matter what the situation.

Ling Hui could only sprinkle in her own house, from smashing things to scolding, and finally she was exhausted, and no one stepped forward to take a look, let alone know that the Zou family had been sent to another courtyard.

Although she was very dissatisfied with Lingxiu being sent away, Ling Hui couldn't do anything about Fu'er, after all, the latter was from the Lan family, and she felt more and more that she was in the Ling Mansion and had no autonomy at all.

*

As the emperor's birthday got closer and closer, Quyang City fell into a celebratory atmosphere, but this joyful atmosphere became another kind of heaviness in Lingfu.

At this time, Ling Shandao had already received the news that Bayin Guo could not play Chinese music this year, and while he was anxious, he also tried to struggle, running countless piano halls, trying to repair the liuqin, but the results ended in disappointment.

It was only in recent days that he finally gave up on the idea of repairing Liuqin and considered whether to report it truthfully. After all, the broken strings are not something that you can control, and after a long time, there will always be mistakes.

With such a fluke mentality, he felt more and more that it was the best policy to report truthfully.

Ling Yi learned the news from Ling Chang's mouth, and immediately found the latter and analyzed the whole extent of the incident.

"Chinese music has to be played every year, even if it is an exception, it is also a last resort, if it is because the liuqin is broken, the emperor will definitely blame the Ling Mansion, has my father ever thought about what kind of disaster this may bring to the Ling Mansion?"

Ling Shandao was stunned, although he knew that the Ling Mansion was not as good as before, and he also knew that the emperor was defensive against the Ling Mansion, but with this matter alone, it was not so simple to shake the two hundred years of the Ling family.

"Father would be naïve to think so." Ling Yi saw Ling Shandao's thoughts.

"Even if the emperor doesn't blame him, can you guarantee that those ministers won't impeach our Ling family? With the glory of the Ling Mansion for more than two hundred years, no one will be jealous? In this world, there are many icing on the cake, and there are more falling stones, and I ask my father not to bet on the fate of Ling Fu. ”

Ling Shandao frowned again, Ling Yi was right, although it seemed to be a small matter, but if someone had a heart to manipulate it, it was likely to become a big thing, and it might also cause irreparable disasters to the Ling Mansion.

"Father, I already have an idea about this matter, but I still need my father's cooperation."

Ling Shandao was stunned, he couldn't think of a way, and several elders of the Eight Sound Kingdom were also helpless, Ling Yi actually had a way?

"What's your solution?" Although he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, he still asked seriously.

Ling Yixiao sold Guan Zi: "It's still early, my father just waits, but there is one more thing, I need to confirm with my father, has Moguan sent someone to transport this year's new inkstone?" ”

Ling Shandao nodded, Gong Chengyan helped him find a good person, and now he is on his way there.

"Father wants to wait for the inkstone to come back, and send the best into the palace as the emperor's birthday gift."

"Well, there is a best inkstone this year, the emperor loves calligraphy, and this is the best."

Ling Shandao didn't like to learn from others and give away some strange treasures, not to mention that he didn't have the heart to collect those things to please the emperor.

Ling Yi thought for a moment, "Since it is the person recommended by Uncle Gong, nothing will happen, but when will you come back?" ”

Ling Shandao calculated the time: "At least half a month is left." ”

Half a month, that's enough. Ling Yi smiled, and Fu Li stepped back. (To be continued......)
