Chapter 052: The Book of the Eastern Merchants
"And if the Empress Dowager helps the emperor at this time, it will not only let the emperor see your love for him, but also make the emperor respect you more. The most important thing is that once the Empress Dowager is involved in the search for Concubine Yi's sister, she can take the lead in this matter. ”
"What do you mean" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but glance at Le Ling, and began to think about it in her heart.
"Now that the emperor is sparing no effort to find Concubine Yi's sister, it is nothing more than that the emperor still has hope and believes that Concubine Yi's sister is still in the world." Le Ling looked at the Empress Dowager's face cautiously and continued, "But everyone should understand that falling from such a high cliff and the rough sea below, the hope of survival is extremely slim. ”
"Besides, if Sister Yi is really alive, there is no reason to send so many people to find it without the slightest clue."
The Empress Dowager listened to Le Ling's words, and her heart was slowly shaken. Jian Ning has been missing for so long, if she was alive, she would have found someone long ago. It's okay if Jian Ning is dead, but she can't watch the emperor and the country of Yuan Chu ruined because of this woman.
"What the queen said does have some truth, so according to what you said, how can the mourning family make the emperor die?" The Empress Dowager actually already had a way in her heart.
But this matter can't be done by her, otherwise once it is revealed, then the relationship between her and the emperor will be completely deadlocked. And the Empress Dowager is still a little wary of Le Ling in her heart, after all, she has the blood of the Dongshang royal family in her body.
As soon as she heard the Empress Dowager's words, Le Ling understood in her heart. But she didn't show any unusual expression, but said with a smile: "If the empress dowager can trust the concubine, this matter will be left to the concubine." The Empress Dowager only needs to send some people to help the emperor find it. ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she nodded with satisfaction. Immediately let Aunt Hebi go and pass her order. Send someone to help the emperor find it.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Le Ling bowed and retired.
On the way back, Feng Zi asked a little puzzled: "Niangniang, why did you come to tell the Empress Dowager today?" The slave and maid look at this queen mother and don't seem to believe you very much, why should you be close to her? ”
Le Ling smiled faintly, and even Feng Zi could see that the Empress Dowager was not friendly to her, and it seemed that the Empress Dowager was really old.
In fact, it made Long Zeye die. The way to stop looking for Jian Ning is simple. Just let him believe that Jian Ning is dead. In addition, Jian Ning fell into the sea again, as long as you find a corpse about the same size as Jian Ning, let her wear Jian Ning's clothes. Soak in the sea for a few days and let your face rot, and you're good to go.
The Empress Dowager naturally wanted to get such a solution, but she didn't want to risk it herself. Because if Long Zeye discovers the truth. Then Long Zeye will definitely not give up, and the already precarious relationship between the Empress Dowager and Long Zeye will completely collapse at that time.
Leling is well aware of the dangers involved. But she still responded to this matter very happily in front of the Queen Mother. Because that's exactly what she wants.
The Empress Dowager thought that this time she could use Le Ling's hand to retract the emperor's heart and improve the relationship between them, but she didn't expect that Le Ling was also using her hand to achieve the goal she wanted.
"There is naturally a reason for this to do this, and you just look at it." Leling didn't say much to Feng Zi.
Return to Fengyi Palace. As soon as he entered the room, Leling smelled an extremely familiar smell, and then a smile bloomed on his face. He said lightly to everyone: "You go down first, you don't have to wait here for the time being." No one is allowed to enter without an order from the main palace. You know? ”
"Yes, the slave (slave) obeys." The people in the house immediately retreated in an orderly manner.
"You should go to the door and keep guard first." Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Le Ling turned his head to Feng Zi and said.
Feng Zi looked at the smile on Le Ling's face, and had a rough guess in his heart. Because since entering the Yuanchu Palace, the princess has rarely had such a real smile on her face, unless the man in white comes.
Feng Zi was still a little worried about the princess in her heart, after all, she was now the queen. But in the end he withdrew, sighed lowly, and did not forget to close the door.
"Ahh Le Ling shouted softly towards the empty room, and the next second fell into a warm embrace.
Le Ling stayed quietly in Wu Shi's arms for a while, then slowly turned around, looked at Wu Shi and said: "Ah Shi, my imperial brother is about to come to Yuanchu, so something must be done, so you don't come to the palace to look for me for a while."
When Wu Shi heard this, his eyes showed a little reluctance, and he slowly let go of his arms holding Le Ling and said, "Is he because of Jian Ning?" ”
"I'm not sure, but it must have something to do with it." Le Ling frowned and said, "The imperial brother was indeed different from Jian Ning before, but according to my understanding of the imperial brother, he should not endanger the power he finally held in his hands for a woman." ”
"Then you're worried that his trip has something to do with that kind of thing?" Wu Shi's face suddenly became a little solemn.
"Quite possibly. He went to great lengths to send me to the Yuanchu Imperial Palace, wasn't it just to get something like that. It's a pity that I've been here for so long without the slightest clue, presumably he was suspicious of me and wanted to come and see for himself. ”
Wu Shi fell into deep thought for a moment, and lowered his head for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing this, Le Ling continued: "Now that Long Zeye is all about looking for Jian Ning's body, I'm afraid he doesn't have too much mind to pay attention to other things, and it seems reasonable for the imperial brother to come here at this time." ”
"It seems that no matter what the purpose of Xiahou Yan coming here this time is, Jian Ning is the key." Wu Shi sighed a little helplessly.
"Ah Shi, Jian Ning, are you still alive in the world? So why do so many people go looking for nothing to find anything? "If it weren't for Wu Shi's relationship, maybe even Leling would have thought that Jian Ning was dead.
"She'll show up when it's time to show up." Wu Cheng let out a deep smile and said lightly, "A qiē is already destined in the dark, whether it is good or bad. ”
"Forget it, I don't understand what you said, I just want to tell you: no matter when, I will put the interests of both of us first, so if I make a wrong decision in the future, please understand my heart." Le Ling and Wu Shi looked at each other and said very seriously.
She knew that Wu Shi, as a descendant of the Wu clan, had his own responsibilities that he had to bear. But she's just a little girl, so she doesn't have so many worries, she just wants the person she loves to be good.
"Ling'er, although I don't have a choice many times, I also ask you to believe that you will always be the person I care about the most." Wu Shi hugged Le Ling tightly.
"Ah Shi, the last time I saw you mention Qiao Qi's situation, what new discoveries did you make when you came in?" Le Ling asked with concern.
"He designed to take away Ador in the cold palace." Wu Shi saw Le Ling's problem, so he reminded, "Qiao Qi has always been unscrupulous, and there must be some ulterior motive for taking Ai Duoer away this time." ”
"Ador?" Le Ling was surprised for a moment, "I thought that Ai Duoer was really dead, but I didn't expect it to be Qiao Qi's trick." ”
"I have a hunch that this Ai Duo will return to this harem."
Le Ling knew that Wu Shi's hunch was not groundless, and since he said so, then there was an 80% chance that something would happen.
"I didn't have much contact with her before, and the only thing that made her hold a grudge must be the position of the queen. I'll pay attention to the situation around me in the future, so you don't have to worry too much. Leling nodded.
Six days later, Long Zeye received a letter of state from Dongshang. Looking at the piece of national letter, Long Zeye unconsciously clenched his fists.
He has always known that Xiahou Yan is not a simple person, and now at this time, he came to visit Yuan Chu without warning, he must have an ulterior purpose, and it will definitely not be as simple as it is said in the national book.
"Half clouds." Long Zeye shouted coldly.
Banyun immediately appeared in front of Long Zeye, waiting for his orders.
"Immediately go and find out Xiahou Yan's current whereabouts, as well as his real purpose for coming to Yuanchu this time."
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Benyun was ordered to leave.
"Fan Chengfu, prepare a sedan chair and drive Fengyi Palace." Long Zeye threw down the national letter suddenly.
If it weren't for this paper of the country, Long Zeye would have almost forgotten that there was a queen mother in his harem, the princess of Dongshang.
Fan Chengfu heard Long Zeye's unkind tone outside the imperial study, and immediately went down quickly to prepare, for fear that if he moved slowly, he would become the emperor's punching bag.
All the way to Fengyi Palace, Long Zeye walked in directly without waiting for anyone to report.
Le Ling had already calculated that Long Zeye had received the letter of state and returned to Fengyi Palace, so he had already prepared. Long Zeye came over this time, and he didn't catch her off guard at all.
"The concubines see the emperor." Leling's demeanor has always been elegant and noble, which makes people unconsciously have a feeling of not daring to blaspheme.
"Get up." Long Zeye said lightly as he walked towards the main seat.
"Your Majesty." After Le Ling got up, he immediately said to the palace maid beside him, "Don't serve tea to the emperor yet." ”
Long Zeye didn't talk nonsense, and as soon as he sat down, he said straight to the point: "I received the letter of Dongshang today, and Prince Yan will go to Yuanchu to visit the queen soon. Presumably, the emperor should have received the news a long time ago. ”
"Don't hide it from the emperor, the concubine just received a letter from the imperial brother just before that." Le Ling did not deny that he did not know anything, nor did he tell the truth.
She knew that according to Long Zeye's wisdom, it would be too false to say that she didn't know, but if she said that she had received it a few days ago, it would inevitably arouse his suspicions. (To be continued) R580
