Ling Xi slowly walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, she looked at Ling Xiao, she hadn't seen her for a few years, Ling Xiao seemed to be a lot older, her sideburns had white hair, and her expression was silent, and she no longer had the sassy demeanor that a general should have.

"How did my father enter the palace?" Ling Xi said softly.

"Queen Mother, you don't summon the old minister into the palace, the old minister has to be cheeky and ask to see the mother." Ling Xiao said with some displeasure.

The palace people brought in the tea, Ling Xi came to Ling Xiao's side, she took the tea bowl in the hands of the palace people, and respectfully handed the tea to Ling Xiao.

"Father, please have tea."

Ling Xiao looked at the tea bowl in Ling Xi's hand, Ling Xi, who is now the queen, can still serve tea to him with his own hands, his eyes are slightly red, he took the tea bowl in Ling Xi's hand, the tip of his nose sobbed a little, and whispered: "Queen Mother, don't you have anything to say to the minister?" ”

Ling Xi turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down, she picked up the tea bowl and took a leisurely sip of tea. She looked at Ling Xiao with a pair of sharp eyes and asked, "There is no palace in this palace, but father, do you have anything to say to your daughter." ”

Ling Xiao looked at Ling Xi, Ling Xi was his daughter, but she was still the queen, the Dongnuan Pavilion was quiet, a little scary, and after a while, Ling Xiao said faintly: "How did Leng Qiuye die." ”

"How did the Leng family die, my father should go and ask the imperial doctor, didn't the third sister invite the imperial doctor to perform an autopsy on the Leng family?" Ling Xi said coldly.

Ling Xiao's reddish eyes just now immediately emitted a fierce light, and he threw the tea bowl aside.

"The doctor said that he died violently, and the cause of death could not be found. Doesn't the queen feel strange? The Marquis of Pingyuan married 2 daughters in 2 months, and died with a wife and a concubine, all of whom died the day after the daughter left the cabinet. And just before the old minister entered the palace, Ling Zhu beat the housekeeper Ling Fu to death, saying that Ling Fu was greedy for money in the Mohou Mansion, and tried to rape the maids in the mansion. ”

The more Ling Xiao spoke, the more excited he became, Ling Xi was obviously perfunctory to him, and his angry body trembled slightly.

"Oh, there are indeed some bizarre coincidences, what does my father think of the facts?"

Ling Xi's casual expression made Ling Xiao even more angry, he was a little excited, he walked a few steps into Ling Xi, from Ling Xi's expression, he knew that he guessed well, Leng Qiuye's death was planned by Ling Xi.

"Has the Queen Mother thought about it? The turmoil in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion continues, how will outsiders speculate about the inner courtyard of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and what will Your Majesty think of you? ”

"Father, have you thought about it again? How did my mother die? Ling Xi looked directly into Ling Xiao's eyes and questioned Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao leaned down slightly, he was a little dizzy, he tried to use his last strength to keep himself from being rude in front of Ling Xi, he walked back to his seat tremblingly, and sat down heavily. He picked up the tea bowl with a trembling hand, took a big sip of tea, and after a little adjustment, Ling Xiao asked Ling Xi with some despair: "Queen Mother, are you taking revenge on Leng Qiuye, or are you?"

Take revenge on the old ministers. ”

"Father, this palace wants to know one thing, have you ever loved my mother in your life?"

Ling Xi looked at Ling Xiao who was old, and her heart was also a little touched, Jiang Shuangxue and Ling Xiao have been married for thirty years, in Ling Xiao's heart, what is Jiang Shuangxue? Ling Xiao lowered his head, and he was silent.

"Father, a concubine died in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, you feel confused, so you entered the palace and asked the palace, what about the mother? When your mother died violently, did you have no doubts in your heart? Or do you not want to ask too much, because it is troublesome and unbearable, so it is not necessary, right? ”

Maybe it was stung by Ling Xi's words, Ling Xiao still didn't say a word, his brows tightened, and Ling Xi sneered.

"Since my father doesn't want to find out about my mother's death, let the people in Yicheng guess, a wife and a concubine died in 2 months in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and they all died on the second day when the young lady left the cabinet, only in this way can my father really pay attention to the cause of my mother's death."

"Niangniang, are you resenting the old minister?"

"When I was very young, I knew that because of Leng's words, I had to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night, and when I grew up, I thought about pleasing my father and pulling into the relationship between our father and daughter, but in my father's eyes, there was no daughter in this palace. Marriage, divorce, and later entering the palace, the palace in the eyes of his father is just a spare chess piece of the Ling family. Ling Xi smiled helplessly.

Ling Xiao unconsciously covered one hand in front of his chest, and he seemed to have a stuffy breath in his chest, unable to spit it out or swallow.

"Lao Chen may have been eccentric, but he has never regarded Niangniang as a chess piece, and Niangniang's life was originally the road of the children of the family, we have all walked from this road, whether we want to or not, we have to finish it."

Ling Xiao got up and slowly came to Ling Xi, he raised his trembling hand, but finally put it down.

"Niangniang asked the old minister, if you have ever loved Mrs., the old minister doesn't know how to answer you, since the old minister remembers, I know that I want to marry the third lady of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion when I grow up. After getting married, Lao Chen only felt that his wife was gentle and virtuous, and the husband and wife also respected each other like guests, and originally thought that this would be a lifetime. It wasn't until that day on the streets of Yicheng that he hurriedly glanced at the cold autumn leaves of the spring, and the old minister knew what it meant to be heart-pounding and what love was. Lao Chen is also a person, a person with blood and tears, but he just likes the person he likes, and gives Leng Qiuye all the love, Niangniang, you tell Lao Chen, am I wrong? ”

Two lines of tears crossed Ling Xiao's face, Ling Xi remembered that when she was a child, Jiang Shuangxue told her that men don't flick when they have tears, especially generals who go to the battlefield, tears are more terrible than bloodshed, because the wound will heal one day, but the heartache will never heal. Ling Xi looked at Ling Xiao's tears, it was obvious that his tears were not flowing for Jiang Shuangxue.

Ling Xi smiled bitterly, and she said lightly: "That daughter is just doing her duty as a daughter, and she pays for her blood debt." ”

Ling Xiao staggered, his body shook, he took a few steps back, his expression was painful, and he said, "Niangniang, what do you want, do you still want to mutilate your siblings?" ”

"If Hongu wants to, it won't be only

If the Leng family dies alone, my father can rest assured that this palace will take care of the feelings of brotherhood, and this palace will also send the fifth brother to Tai Academy to practice, but there is one condition. ”

Ling Xi picked up the tea bowl and drank another sip of tea, she looked at Ling Xiao and said softly: "The Leng family poisoned the main mother, and she is not worthy of being buried in the Ling family's cemetery." Father wants to give his love, find a feng shui treasure to bury, this palace has no opinion, as long as the Leng family does not enter the Ling family cemetery, this palace guarantees that the Leng family's children are not to blame in the past, we are still siblings and sisters. ”

The stuffiness in Ling Xiao's chest seemed to reach his throat, and a bright red blood spurted out of Ling Xiao's mouth, staining the placket in front of Ling Xiao's body red, and Ling Xiao stumbled and fell to the ground. Ling Xi was taken aback, and she shouted loudly: "Someone, call the imperial doctor quickly." ”

Ling Xi strode in front of Ling Xiao and struggled to pick up Ling Xiao's upper body with both hands. Ling Xi looked at Ling Xiao weakly, she regretted it a little, and a line of tears flowed on her face, when did it start, their father and daughter could only talk like this.

"Father, the Imperial Doctor will be here soon, you will be fine."

At this moment, Ling Xi suddenly felt that Ling Xiao was more pitiful than Jiang Shuangxue, Jiang Shuangxue still shed tears for her and guarded her, but what about Ling Xiao?
