Hearing Ai Duo'er speak, Concubine Yu immediately helped on the side, and said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with national affairs day and night, but he also has to pay more attention to the dragon body!" It's always good to get out and walk around from time to time."

King Xiang looked at the emperor from the side and didn't seem to have the intention of talking more to Ai Duo'er, in order to avoid embarrassment, he had to take a step forward with a smile and said: "This king and the imperial brother were originally going to Ningshou Palace, and when they passed by the imperial garden, they heard a sound here and came to take a look."

"That's the case, the concubine delayed the emperor to see the queen mother, it's really a crime!" As he spoke, he curtsed with a guilty face.

The same is true of the jade concubine.

Looking at Ai Duo'er like this, and then thinking about what Le Ling said just now, Long Zeye said lukewarmly to Ai Duo'er: "I and King Xiang are going to the emperor's grandmother to discuss the matter after the wedding book, since the concubine is also helping to prepare, let's listen to it together."

After speaking, without waiting for Ador to reply, he turned around and walked outside. From beginning to end, it seems that I have not paid attention to the storage of the jade concubine.

After hearing Long Zeye's words, Ai Duoer's heart suddenly sank. The emperor must have guessed that he wanted to do something unfavorable to Princess Leling, so he had to give himself a warning like this!

After hurriedly answering "yes", he hurriedly followed with Shui Tao and Lian Mist.

The moment the emperor turned to leave, the jade concubine immediately saluted and said, "The concubine sends the emperor!"

Although the emperor's attitude towards herself is used to it, there is still a trace of unwillingness and throbbing pain in her heart. If you talk about appearance, although you can't compare to the concubine, but you are not much inferior to Concubine Yuan and Liji, and your identity is one level higher than Liji, but why can't you see your own goodness in your eyes, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother?

Le Ling took Feng Zi and then went to Liji's palace, and the imperial doctor was already examining Liji's injuries. He also prescribed a doctor and made ointments. Obviously, the problem is not very big, and it will be back to life in a few days.

It seems that Ador and the others are not ruthless enough, or they are not prepared enough. If you put another layer of poison on the cat's paws or something. That's a real problem. Even if the wound heals, it is estimated that it will leave a scar.

An indelible scar is tantamount to disfigurement for a woman, especially a harem woman!

Seeing Le Ling's figure, Liji was obviously stunned. Then he smiled at Le Ling, and dismissed the maid in the dormitory on the grounds that he wanted to rest. It's just that the personal palace maid Tao Yao is left to serve alone.

Xiahou Leling watched. Immediately, he waved away the rest of the people around him, leaving Feng Zi alone by his side.

"I really didn't expect the princess to come so soon!" Wait until everyone is gone. Liji leaned on the head of the bed under Tao Yao's service, and said to Le Ling with a light smile.

"Whether it's early or late, Niangniang always has to find a chance to talk to Leling, isn't it? In this case, it is better to take this opportunity to make everything clear." Le Ling sat on a small brocade stool next to the bed and said indifferently.

Based on Liji's actions just now and what she said now, Le Ling can guess. This Liki is nowhere near as innocent as she seems. It can be said that she is a woman who really has a delicate mind.

"The princess is so smart, then I won't beat around the bush anymore." Li Ji listened to Le Ling's words, then smiled, and said seriously, "The concubine knows that it is inevitable for the princess to become the queen of Yuan Chu. The concubine took the risk to help the princess once today. I ask for nothing else, but for the princess's sake in the future. Try your best to keep the concubine alive in this harem."

When she said this, Liji had already claimed to be a concubine, and had obviously recognized Leling's status as the queen. And the tone is also very firm and sincere.

Leling thought about many reasons why Liji would help her, but this is the reason she didn't expect. She asked suspiciously: "If this palace is not mistaken, Liji Niangniang should be very taken care of by the Queen Mother, how can she think of looking for this palace?"

Le Ling thought in his heart, with the protection of the Empress Dowager, let alone the people of this harem, even the emperor will not do anything to Liji, right?

Li Ji seemed to guess that Le Ling would answer like this, and said with a clear smile: "Although the Empress Dowager likes concubines very much, after all, she is old and is not happy to listen to those things that are not clean. In addition, the Empress Dowager is happy and quiet, and she worships the Buddha all day long, how can the concubine often disturb her old man's house."

Hearing Liji say this, Le Ling seemed to understand at once. Now although the Empress Dowager is in good health, she is still old after all, and it is impossible for Liji to rely on her for a lifetime.

And now in this palace, Concubine Yuan has always been arrogant and has always disdained to join forces with others. So what is in front of Liji is either to take refuge in Ador, or to herself who is about to become the queen.

There is already a jade concubine by Ai Duoer's side, and there will be no place for her no matter what. And she is a princess in a foreign country, and now is the time when she needs to win people's hearts, and she will definitely value Liji as an ally.

Thinking about it further, when it comes to the affairs of the imperial court, Liji is the second daughter of the Ministry of Works, but the Ministry of Works, but the Ministry of Works, is a neutral faction. If Liji and Ai Duoer are on the same front, then in the eyes of the emperor, it is the Ministry of Works' squire who has taken refuge in Ai Gaoyi's camp, which will inevitably be unfavorable to his father. And if Liki takes refuge in herself, then this neutral position can continue to be maintained

The more I thought about the back, even Le Ling had to admire this woman's thoughts and schemes, and I thought she was innocent at first!

Now that the words have been explained, Le Ling no longer cares about anything, and directly makes it clear: "Since Niangniang is so smart, why don't you just directly win the emperor's favor?" Rather. [,！ Wouldn't it be safer for Niangniang to put hope in such a person as Bengong who doesn't know anything at all, and get the emperor's favor?"

"The princess also lives in the harem, and she should understand a truth, since ancient times, emperors have been lucky. Protection based on beauty is never more secure than mutual aid with interests involved." Although Liji's age looks like she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, the desolation that sees through it still surprises Le Ling!

Surprised, Li Ji continued: "Besides, the concubine's father is just a small squire of the Ministry of Works, how can he stand in line at will when he can't guarantee his own safety!"

I see, it seems that this is also the reason why this Liji did everything to please the queen mother, but she didn't fight for it in front of the emperor at all! There really isn't a fuel-efficient lamp in this harem!

"This palace can't promise you anything, the only thing I can say is that this palace has accepted your love today." After thinking about it for a long time, Le Ling said lightly.

Le Ling has no intention of this harem, and what she promised to kiss Long Zeye is entirely because she can one day find an opportunity to get rid of the control of Dongshang State. As long as others don't violate her interests, she won't pay attention to these intrigues.

When Liji heard Le Ling say this, she wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Le Ling: "This palace sees that you are also tired today, so let's have a good rest. I'll come to see my mother another day."

Since Le Ling had already said so, Li Ji also knew that there was no hope of talking about this matter anymore, so she nodded helplessly, and sent Tao Yao to send Le Ling out of the dormitory.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Jiu'er rushed back. As soon as he arrived, he hurriedly walked towards Jian Ning's courtyard.

Jian Ning happened to be chatting with Ruan Zijin in the courtyard at this time about making rice balls, and when she saw Jiu'er walking in in such a hurry, she was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "I just talked to Zijin, can you rush back to spend the Yuan Festival with us, if you don't want to, you really rush back."

"Look at you like this, you must have been on the road again without stopping to rest." Jian Ning glanced at Jiu'er, and then immediately instructed Xi'er, "Go and pour a cup of hot tea for Jiu'er first, and then let someone boil some hot water."

"Sister, don't be busy with this, I have something important to tell my sister." Jiu'er suddenly sat down on a small stool next to Jian Ning and said sternly.

Xi'er immediately retreated silently at this time.

"In the few days since I returned to Xiaoyao Valley, I have never given up the investigation. I searched my grandfather's study again, and this time I found the letter in a secret compartment in the study." After saying that, Jiu'er immediately took out the letter from his arms.

Jian Ning took the letter, opened it, and saw that it was simply written: There is something strange in the sky, I am afraid that there will be great changes, come to Tianhua Mountain to discuss.

When looking at the payment and date, not only Jian Ning but even Ruan Zijin was shocked, it was actually Feichen, on April 17

"April 17 is the day when grandpa leaves Xiaoyao Valley, and I think the old friend he said he wanted to meet should be this person." Jiu'er didn't know that Ruan Zijin was a person from Tianhua Mountain, and she didn't notice Jian Ning's abnormal shock, but talked about her inference on the side.

Almost subconsciously, Ruan Zijin immediately said: "Impossible, this must not have been written by my master!"

"Master?" Jiu'er looked at Ruan Zijin in surprise, and said with a calm face, "This is your master named Feichen?"

Ruan Zijin's whole person was in a state of disbelief, looking at those simple words, it was indeed the master's handwriting again, but how could this be

Jian Ning had seen a codex written by Ruan Feichen himself on Tianhua Mountain, and as far as this handwriting is concerned, it is indeed very similar to Ruan Feichen's own handwriting.

Just when Jian Ning didn't know what to do, she heard Ruan Zijin say very firmly: "My master was killed before April 17, how could he write such a letter!"

After Ruan Zijin said this, Jian Ning's mind immediately brightened. If this is the case, then there is only one situation, someone used the name of Master Zijin to ask Jiu'er's grandfather to come out, and designed to arrest him!

Whether it is reasoning or hypothesis, Jian Ning always thinks that Jiu'er's grandfather can live.

After Jian Ning told the two of them her reasoning, she said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "In this way, the matter is very obvious!" (To be continued) R752
