Linghu Hou Mansion

In the past few days when the full moon has been in the palace, the people in the Hou Mansion don't know, and they have always thought that she is closed in the Pujia Pavilion.

Even on Linghu Quan's side, Ling Hu Hongxi also covered up in advance and explained a lot of things to Ling Huquan, but she didn't have time to take care of the full moon.

The full moon returned to the Hou Mansion and went to see Linghu Spring first.

She hadn't finished the things that Linghu Hongxi had arranged for Linghu Quan, and the full moon only said hello and went back to Pujia Pavilion to rest.

After the incident that almost burned Linghu Chang'an last time, Qiu Jixuan and Zhao Yu'er were separated for a few days, and the full moon wedding was approaching, neither of them would be stupid enough to make a mess at this juncture to anger Linghu Hongxi.

In the pavilion, the full moon washed away the fatigue of the past few days, and sat quietly in front of the window.

The night was low, and after three days of sleepless efforts, the emperor was finally out of danger. It can be regarded as dispelling everyone's speculation on the surface.

However, with Lin Donghe's person, the Gu worm was secretly under him, so he would not lightly believe that the emperor was just occasionally feeling cold. At that time, the emperor had just woken up, and he was holding on to his weak body to meet the prince and the king of the Western Regions and others, Lin Donghe's eyes had been looking around in the palace, and he had been looking for clues that could prove his suspicions.

The poisoning of the emperor and the queen mother seems to have come to an end. But the murderer has never been brought out, even if the emperor and the queen mother continue to disguise, Lin Donghe is such a cautious character, if he has suspicions, he will definitely be more careful and will not act lightly.

Fortunately, this time, the emperor and the queen mother only told the prince about the matter, not that the emperor and the queen mother suspected Lin Donghe, but in their hearts, Lin Donghe's status could never be compared with the prince and Lin Dongyao.

"Miss, aren't you going out tonight?"

Full Moon was thinking about something, and Yinxiu entered the room and asked softly.

"Nope."

The tone was cold, and the answer was crisp and clear.

For some reason, Yin Xiu actually breathed a sigh of relief, although she was now loyal to the full moon, but after all, it was Lin Dongyao who arranged it by the full moon's side, and she was still biased towards her first master, the Fifth Highness.

Full Moon glanced at Yinxiu and said softly,

"You step down first, I'm fine tonight."

"Yes. Miss. Yinxiu hurriedly retreated, obviously much more relaxed than when she came in.

The determination of the full moon, under the same starry sky, the Ouchi Palace, Lin Jian was also ready to wait for the night.

It's not that he didn't expect the result, but for her, he never thought of giving up. Lin Jian's biggest weakness lies in the fact that many years ago and now, the personnel that moved him and cared about him, he never learned to let go.

Holding it persistently in the palm of his hand, even after many years, he has always been as new as new, remembering it in his mind.

――

At noon the next day, the full moon woke up. After three days of sleepless sleep, what she needed most was sleep.

While freshening up and changing, I listened to Yinxiu and Tie Young tell about what happened yesterday.

"Eldest Miss, Princess Erruo sprained her ankle when she went to visit the prince in the prince's mansion, and the imperial doctor saw that the bones were broken, and it would not be good for three months.

Tie Ying's eyebrows danced, but the full moon poured a basin of cold water on her,

"If you live in the Western Regions since you were a child, your kung fu will not be bad, if you are not hit by an external force, it is just a sprain, and you will be so strict that your bones are broken?"

Full Moon raised her eyebrows and sneered, how Er Ruo's ankle was injured was known only to herself and the people in the Prince's Mansion.

Tie Ying immediately shut up and lowered her head a little ashamedly, she heard the news before, and she only cared about being happy, but ignored the strange truth.

"Yinxiu, what about the others in the Hou Mansion?" Full Moon didn't directly point to Tie Ying's problem, what should have been said had already been said, and she needed to understand it herself.

"Back to the eldest lady, the Hou Ye entered the palace early this morning, the emperor has not yet gone to the court, the princess has been busy reconciling accounts in Mingshui Pavilion, Aunt Zhao has been out of the house frequently these days, and every time she will go around a circle and then go to a remote medicine house in the corner to grab medicine, but it is mysterious and mysterious, and the medicine brought back is not boiled, and the subordinates observe late at night, and see that Aunt Zhao's backyard has a faint fire flickering at night, close to the backyard to observe, there is a strong taste of broth mixed with the taste of traditional Chinese medicine. Qiu Jixuan hadn't seen Pang Rui in the past few days, but she disappeared for a short time last night, and the people sent by her subordinates were lost, and they couldn't find where she went. ”

After Yin Xiu finished speaking, Full Moon nodded slightly.

"How about a new recruit for the two of you to train?"

A while before the full moon, Yinxiu and Tieying secretly cultivated a group of hidden guards, and now is the time to employ people.

"Miss Hui, the four people found by the subordinates are all apprentices trained by the subordinate father, and the subordinates selected four of them with high sensitivity and understanding to be trained."

Tie Ying's father was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes before, and naturally he was indispensable to his apprentices.

"Since you are your father's apprentice, you have known each other for many years, and after training, you will try them on a par with the hidden guards trained by Yinxiu."

As soon as Full Moon said this, Tie Ying and Yin Xiu glanced at each other and began to compete in secret.

However, these two people compete fiercely, but they know how to find each other's strengths and make up for their shortcomings.

"Qiu Jixuan disappeared yesterday, not necessarily to find Pang Rui, Qiu Jixuan was not the only one before Pang Rui! Yinxiu, continue to keep an eye on her, next time you will personally stare at her. ”

The full moon has a feeling, and if something happens in the next month, Qiu Jixuan will be a crucial figure.

After Yinxiu and Tie Ying retreated, there was a decree in the palace to announce the full moon and enter the palace.

In the main hall of Chengqian Palace, the emperor and the queen mother sat in the middle, and when the full moon entered, Lin Dongyao was also present.

The emperor and the queen mother have the heart to reward her, but they can't be in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, the emperor and the queen mother are poisoned, very little is known, naturally, the emperor and the queen mother don't want anyone else to know.

After receiving the reward, the emperor and the queen mother asked a few more words about Gu worms.

After this Gu worm incident, the emperor and the queen mother were bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of the well rope, always worried that there were Gu worms in their bodies, Gu worms had an incubation period, and they didn't know when they would attack, even if Lin Dongyao had already made a package ticket, the emperor and the queen mother still had doubts in their hearts.

The full moon was exactly the same as Lin Dongyao's words, and the emperor and the queen mother were relieved.

Leaving Chengqian Palace, Full Moon and Lin Dongyao were about to go to Xuanji Palace, but they saw Pang Rui coming towards them.

Pang Rui, who was dressed in white, met Lin Dongyao in a black gold brocade robe, one warm and one cold, in the sun, Pang Rui's temperament was more of a warm and handsome setting off the sun, but Lin Dongyao was absorbing the dazzling of the daylight, and his body was always shrouded in a bright and clear like the stars in the dark night.

"Fifth Highness, Linghu Female Officer." Pang Rui was the first to speak, speaking softly, looking at the full moon with a soft smile in his eyes.

Lin Dongyao nodded, just glanced at Pang Rui casually.

"Full moon, let's go."

Lin Dongyao ordered the full moon in a deep voice, obviously not wanting to talk to Pang Rui more.

"Linghu Female Officer, when will you go to the Hou Mansion again?" Pang Rui didn't mind Lin Dongyao's reaction, but looked at the full moon with a smile.

The full moon was stunned, and smiled at him,

"Could it be that Master Hou wants me to often have things that I can't figure out?"

"It seems that I really have a feng shui problem there, and I have to adjust it so that I can have a chance to see Linghu Lady a few more times." Pang Rui's self-deprecating tone did not contain the slightest malice, it was completely natural and casual ridicule.

"Pang Hou doesn't have to go through a lot of trouble, thank you Hou Ye for your understanding."

The full moon and Pang Rui come and go, and only they understand what they say.

Lin Dongyao's hand on his lap couldn't help but clench his fists, a layer of frost hung on his face, and the temperature around him dropped by several degrees.

"Okay, I'm waiting for good news in the Hou Mansion. Don't disturb the Fifth Highness and the Linghu Female Officer. Leave. ”

Pang Rui nodded at the full moon and walked towards the Chengqian Palace.

Full Moon turned around and was about to push Lin Dongyao's wheelchair, but saw him raise his hand to stop her.

"No need, I'll go back by myself." There was a hint of anger in his tone.

"Okay, got it." The full moon closed his head and was about to leave, but Lin Dongyao's suppressed anger voice sounded coldly behind him,

"Full moon, what else do you not like to do? Even if it's not your future husband, you should ask why I suddenly changed my mind? I don't say, you don't ask, I think - this is not a tacit understanding, but a ditch that can never be crossed! ”

Lin Dongyao rarely had such a serious time, and sometimes, even if he was not satisfied with the cold attitude of the full moon, he would not point it out so directly.

"Is it because of the conversation I had with Pang Rui just now?"

All right! Since he said that she didn't care, she asked.

"-" A certain highness was obviously caught off guard by the full moon at this moment.

It was he who complained about the full moon and didn't ask, and she asked clearly now, if he admitted it, he seemed jealous and stingy.

"Fifth Highness, there is not only the love of men and women in this world! There are friends in trouble, nodding friends, and gentlemen's friends! Pang Hou and I, it seems that there is no conflict of interest now, and there will be no emotional entanglement, but we just said a few more words, and in front of the Fifth Highness, there is nothing that is not visible! ”

Full Moon said in a light tone, not wanting to argue with Lin Dongyao about anything, just wanting to clarify his perspective and point of view.

Lin Dongyao's eyes looking at the full moon were full of too many complicated feelings, compared to the feelings that the full moon just wanted to explain simply, Lin Dongyao's heart seemed to carry more unspeakable words.

"Full moon, you can say I'm too hearty! But Pang Rui and I are both men, he looks at you and can deceive you, but he can't deceive me! Even if you are innocent about him, you can't guarantee that Pang Rui doesn't have any thoughts about you! I just got a good look at it from the side! The way he looks at you is completely different from the way he looks at others! Maybe it's more appreciation, but he's not a child, and it's impossible to appreciate a woman without an emotional component. ”

Lin Dongyao insisted that Pang Rui had more complex emotions about the full moon buried in his heart.

"Fifth Highness, I can't stop how others look at me. But my heart is here, like a frozen lake in December, and all year round is the coldest time of the cold winter wax moon, and there will never be a day when it melts! I got used to it, so I never thought about changing. I said that, the Fifth Highness should be relieved? ”

Where her words reassured him, they actually shattered his heart instantly.

"Is that me, too?"

He didn't want to ask more, but when facing her, there was always a strange force that drove him, and he couldn't help but ask the answer to the question.

"Your Highness, what I just said is very clear."

"Okay, I see."

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first."

The words fell, and Full Moon turned to leave.

The dazzling sunlight fell behind her, but Lin Dongyao had a feeling that it was already late autumn.

Has her heart never been warmed by him from beginning to end? He still thought that the feeling he had felt was real, and she had been tempted, but it turned out to be his own delusion.

――

The carriage stopped outside the Shenwu Gate, and the full moon covered the long corridor to leave the palace.

Not far in front of her, a line blocked her way, and the full moon looked up and saw Er Ruo sitting on the chariot, who was originally going to dodge out of the way, but Er Ruo was the first to speak,

"Linghu Female Officer! Where to go in a hurry? You have a few words you want to talk to the female officer. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to put down their reins.

Full Moon saw that her right ankle was wrapped in thick gauze, and her pale and haggard face was difficult to cover even if she was smeared with rouge and gouache.

"What does the princess command?"

The full moon lowered its eyes and spoke.

If you had seen her before, even if it was a hypocritical smile, it would not have been such a gloomy expression today.

"Linghu Lady, step forward and speak." Erruo leaned forward, and his eyes as he looked at the full moon revealed hatred and disgust.

In the past, Er Ruo was the best at playing innocence, but today is he going to tear his face in front of her?

Full Moon stepped forward to her, and Erruo leaned in front of her, and said in an almost whispered voice,

"Linghu Lady, I can see that the prince likes you. If you are also interested in the prince, I can generously let half of the prince give it to you, you and I can be sisters, I am the crown princess, you are the side concubine! Being the side concubine of the prince is as majestic as the five imperial concubines, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, you will be the imperial concubine! It is naturally better for you and me to assist the crown prince to ascend the throne than for you to stay by the side of a paralyzed person for the rest of your life, isn't it? ”

After Erruo finished speaking, seeing that the full moon did not react, he couldn't help but continue,

"How smart is the female official Linghu, she can naturally understand this account, no matter how favored Her Royal Highness is, she has always been born to a concubine, and now she is still paralyzed in a wheelchair, will the future king of a country be the emperor of a wheelchair? Ha - Linghu female official is also a woman, she is not willing to live her life like this! It's rare that I'm willing to fulfill you and the prince, so it's better to think about it! ”

Erruo's smile became more and more gloomy.

Full Moon glanced down at her injured right foot, and then nodded thoughtfully,

"The princess is so beautiful as an adult, aren't you afraid that I will not be willing to be just a princess? If I had other thoughts and wanted more, wouldn't the princess even have a chance to cry when the time came! ”
