The abbot slowly opened his eyes and stopped the wooden fish in his hand.

"Donor, please speak."

"I've killed a lot of people for the sake of the big picture, and now I have a baby that has just been born and a pregnant woman who has just given birth, should I let them go, or should I give them a way out?" Emperor Liang Wendi asked.

"Since the donor can kill many people for the sake of the overall situation, why is he hesitating now?" The abbot asked.

"Recently, one of my children fell ill, and I asked for a miracle doctor who could be invited from all over the country, and I used all kinds of panacea, but I still couldn't save him." Emperor Liang Wendi spoke out about his heart disease.

"Donor, cause and effect have their own cycle." The abbot spoke lightly.

"What does the master mean is that because I have killed too many creatures, my child will not be seriously ill now?" Emperor Liang Wendi asked in surprise.

"Heaven must not be divulged." The abbot replied.

"Master, should I let go of that mother and daughter?" Emperor Liang Wendi asked.

"Since it is a baby girl, it can't affect Your Majesty's grand cause, why doesn't Your Majesty let them go, and you should accumulate some virtue for your own heir?" The abbot's eyes suddenly became serious, and he stared straight at Emperor Liang Wendi.

Seeing that his identity was seen through, Emperor Wen Liang sighed, slowly got up from the futon, left the main hall, and returned to the palace.

There were still many people in the palace waiting for him to give orders, including attendants from his own children and guards from the princess of the former dynasty.

Emperor Liang Wendi looked at the looming royal temple behind him, and the sound of "pause" made by the wooden fish knocking seemed to be still in his ears.

"Let them go. Send someone to keep a strict watch. After Emperor Liang Wendi finished speaking, he dragged his tired body towards his child's dormitory.

That night, the child who had a high fever suddenly went away from the high fever and was all cured of his serious illness.

Emperor Liang Wendi had to sigh that life is impermanent, and heaven is even more impermanent. Since then, he has not asked about the mother and daughter of the former dynasty, but has only sent someone to guard them and report any situation at any time.

Xiao Qisheng thought of this, and had a bold guess in his heart: "This hidden concubine can't be the princess of the former dynasty who escaped death, right?" ”

"Xiao Si, go check the house that my father sent to guard in the suburbs, and see if the people are still there." Xiao Qisheng instructed Xiao Sidao.

Xiao Si was puzzled in his heart: "What are you doing to check that house?" I didn't dare to ask more, so I could only answer: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Xiao Qiming runs around every day looking for clues about the case, sometimes going to the hunting scene to check the traces of the scene, and sometimes finding a person who participates in the hunting competition to interrogate carefully. But as soon as he returned to the house, Xiao Qiming just ate, drank and had fun, and didn't care about the case at all, let alone ask.

Chu Lanxi was very proud when he learned that Zhao Lingshu was not only poisoned, but also unconscious. Today, seeing that Xiao Qiming came back to the house early, he hurriedly walked up to greet him.

"Your Highness came back early today." Chu Lanxi patted his ass and said.

"That's not even your scheming. Anyway, I don't need to investigate the case, so let those two fools look for them like headless flies. Xiao Qiming took off the cloak on his body and handed it to the attendants beside him.

"Whoever let that Zhao Lingshu not know what to do, he refused His Highness's kindness many times, and snatched the deer we hit in the hunting competition." Chu Lanxi was indignant.

It turned out that all this was Chu Lanxi's plan.

Chu Lanxi didn't know where to know about the Hidden Gate, the number one killer organization in the rivers and lakes, so he offered a plan to Xiao Qiming: "Your Highness, why don't we hire this group of killers on the rivers and lakes to tie up Zhao Lingshu for us?" The hidden door is a place where the privacy of customers is never revealed, so it is absolutely safe. ”

Xiao Qiming happily accepted Chu Lanxi's strategy: "Just listen to you." ”

After the accident between Zhao Lingshu and An Zhilian, Xiao Qiming was happy and spoiled Chu Lanxi. The people in the house speculated that the side concubines of the three highnesses would soon be pregnant. The maids in the house are very envious of Chu Lanxi, if Chu Lanxi can give birth to a son, even if they can't be corrected, how can they suppress the concubine who doesn't know who it is.

Since there is no need to be as busy handling cases as Xiao Qisheng and Xiao Qiyun, Xiao Qiming will be relaxed after returning to the house.

That night, when Xiao Qiming was sitting in the study office, a maid named Xia Ling happened to be waiting beside him.

This maid named Xia Ling is not only well-behaved and sensible, but also beautiful and moving, and she is usually very liked by Xiao Qiming, and she has asked Xia Ling to serve her by name several times. That Xia Ling is also a person who can look at the eyes, seeing that Xiao Qiming likes her a little, she doubles her heart when she serves, and she is meticulous and subtle everywhere, all of which are considerate and moving. That Xiao Qiming was even more properly served by her, and in the future, she ordered Xia Ling to serve him by name every day.

Other maids are envious of Xia Ling's good life, a maid, it is already a good thing not to be beaten and scolded by the master, and it is a good thing for Xia Ling to be loved by the master. The maids all think that if this continues, Xia Ling will definitely be promoted, not a favorite concubine or a concubine, one person will attain the Tao, the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven, and everyone will go to Xia Ling's room every day to greet her, hoping that she will bring herself with her when she is developed in the future.

One day, Xiao Qiming had to go to the study to work after he was drunk. After coming to the study, Xiao Qiming sat on the chair in front of the desk, looking at Xia Ling, who had been standing aside for a long time, and had already ground the ink for him.

Xiao Qiming, who was drunk, felt dazed, looking at Xia Ling's face, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Xia Ling saw Xiao Qiming staring at her face motionlessly, smiled shyly, and lowered her head.

Xiao Qiming couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and hugged Xia Ling, who was grinding ink, and kissed him directly. Xia Ling wanted to refuse to welcome back, but she was very happy in her heart.

That night, the two of them had a spring breeze in the study, and the room was beautiful.

The next morning, Xiao Qiming woke up and looked at Xia Ling, who was lying in his arms, and couldn't help but smile slightly, covered Xia Ling's face with his right hand, and stroked it gently.

Xia Ling was awakened by Xiao Qiming's movements, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Qiming looking at her with a smile, full of shame: "Why is Your Highness staring at the slave maid?" ”

Xiao Qiming was amused, lifted the quilt in a good mood, turned over and got out of bed.

Xiao Qiming opened the door of the study, and there was already a group of maids waiting outside the door, stretching their necks one by one to look at the situation in the study.

"From today on, Xia Ling will be the concubine of His Royal Highness, you have to serve her well." After speaking, Xiao Qiming hummed a song and left the study. The maid who stayed behind immediately poked her head to look at the study, and saw that Xia Ling was still lying on the bed, so she immediately chattered and talked about it.

The news that Xia Ling was favored by Xiao Qiming and became a concubine immediately spread throughout the palace. How many people envy Xia Ling's beauty and luck, and how many people envy turns into jealousy. If Xia Ling gives birth to a son in the future, it will be a mother who is more expensive than a son, and from then on she will fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and it will no longer be comparable to their group of maids.

Chu Lanxi had just gotten up, washed up, freshened up and dressed up under the service of the maid and began to have breakfast. As soon as Chu Lanxi sat down, he heard a girl outside the door talking about something excitedly.

"Did you hear that? Xia Ling in that study was favored by His Royal Highness! I also became a concubine! ”

"When?"

"Just this morning, His Highness opened the door of the study and announced it himself. At that time, Xia Ling was still lying on the bed in the study. ”

"It seems that Xia Ling is really lucky. Not to mention that he looks good, he can still be favored by His Royal Highness. ”

"If Xia Ling gives birth to a son, it will be much higher than the status of the side concubine in the mansion."

"Yes, after all, the heir is the big thing. Now there is no concubine in the house, whoever gives birth to a son is the eldest son, and if His Royal Highness becomes the emperor in the future, it will be the prince! ”

Chun Tao, the maid who served Chu Lanxi, saw that Chu Lanxi's face was half green and half hundred angry after hearing these words, and hurriedly walked out of the room and scolded the maids who were talking: "What are you chewing on the root of your tongue!" A concubine born as a maid is also worthy of being compared with the side concubine that our Ming media is marrying? Why don't you go! ”

Seeing this, these talking maids hurriedly scattered around and began to work, only one young maid saw that she was reprimanded, and she was not angry, and said: "What we said is true!" Have we not been talking nonsense! Besides, wasn't the side concubine also favored by His Highness first, and then married in? ”

As soon as she heard this, the big girl next to her hurriedly covered her mouth: "What are you talking nonsense?" Don't kill you? ”

"People, she comes in!"

Chun Tao, who was serving Chu Lanxi, had not yet opened her mouth to teach the little girl who was disrespectful, when she heard Chu Lanxi angrily commanding in the room.

As soon as she heard Chu Lanxi's order, Chun Tao immediately grabbed the little girl's collar and pushed her into the room.

As soon as the little girl entered the room, her head was smashed by a head-on teacup. The little girl hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The princess spared me!" The slave and maid are not sensible, they talk nonsense, and beg the princess to spare me this time! Please, Princess! The girl kept kowtowing as she spoke. There was blood all over his forehead, and it was flowing straight down, which was very terrifying.

"You had the courage to speak! Why, you're scared now? Chu Lanxi stepped forward angrily and slapped the little girl a few times, and the little girl was beaten to the ground, and her mouth was still begging for mercy.

When the fifth slap came, Chun Tao hurriedly walked over and grabbed Chu Lanxi's hand and persuaded, "The princess is careful that her hand hurts." It is not worth beating such a small slave and maid to hurt the princess's hand. ”

Only then did Chu Lanxi stop the anger in his heart a little.

Chun Tao saw that Chu Lanxi seemed to be a little persuaded by herself, and she was no longer angry, so she hurriedly glanced at the little girl who was beaten: "Why don't you go quickly?" Waiting to continue to be beaten? ”

The little girl received Chun Tao's hint, and hurriedly rolled and crawled, leaving the room in embarrassment.

Chun Tao served Chu Lanxi and sat down to continue breakfast. Chu Lanxi ate the delicacies without knowing the taste, while thinking about what the girls were talking about.

Only when something actually happened did they dare to discuss it like this. So Xiao Qiming really spoiled a maid? And made her a concubine? Where does this make Chu Lanxi's face rest?

After breakfast, the more Chu Lanxi thought about it, the more angry he became. What kind of maid makes Xiao Qiming like this? So Chu Lanxi decided to go to the study to see what kind of goods this maid named Xia Ling was.

As soon as Chu Lanxi walked to the study with Chun Tao, he heard the sound of Xiao Qiming and a woman laughing.

Chu Lanxi became more and more annoyed, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his nails had already been pinched into the flesh. But in front of Xiao Qiming, she couldn't get angry. So Chu Lanxi took a few deep breaths, collected his emotions, and walked into the study with a smile on his face.
