Qing Ling was told by Nian Ying that he had doubts in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "But who else can arrange the whole thing so seamlessly?" From the escape of King Yuzhong, to Luo Heng's appearance in the slender mansion...... It is clear that someone connected Yuzhong and Jiuqiu in the middle. ”

Nian Hong on the side couldn't help but interject: "I am not the only one who can connect Yuzhong with Jiuqiu!" Isn't it unfair for you to put the blame on him without any evidence? It's a shame that you're still his wife who hasn't come to the door, and you don't have the slightest trust at all! ”

Qing Ling's face turned red with excitement from the words "wife who didn't pass through the door", and her tone suddenly hardened, "At least trust? How do you want me to trust someone like him? I asked myself if I had done anything to hurt him, it was because he first disregarded the friendship of the same family, ignored the blood feud of our senior brother, and did everything according to your Daze Baili's 'just a businessman', only seeking benefits without asking about conscience, hiding his name and stealing his teacher's art, and using witchcraft illusions to deceive me and trick me, how do you want me to believe him? ”

Nian Hong jumped up, "You only ask your conscience and don't seek benefits when you do things?" Since you say that my family is stealing from teachers in Chongwu, then don't expect him to care about any friendship! ”

She squinted at Xiwu, who had been sitting quietly on the side, and asked Qing Ling: "You said that you didn't do anything to hurt the son of the world, but what is it if you stuff your handmaid into him?" My family is so unpopular with you, and is only worthy of a lowly servant by your side? ”

Qing Ling was stunned and subconsciously looked at the evening fog.

Xiwu's eyes widened, her white and slender fingers covered her chin, her cheeks were slightly red, and she moved her gaze in surprise, "Emperor, slave maid ......"

Her voice was soft, with a languid undulation that I saw pity. The pale blue gauze skirt is cinched at the waist, outlining a moving line.

Qing Ling used to only think that Xiwu's appearance was a bit like Ajing, but now that she thinks about it, such a coquettish woman is a bit like those dancing girls in the Red Moon Fang, and her hands and feet reveal the intention of seducing sentient beings.

But Xiwu is the person found by Chun Yuyan and Mu Chen after all, even if Qingling questions her origin, she will definitely not question her loyalty. Besides, at the beginning, Luo Yao himself stared at others first, and praised "looks very good......

Thinking of this, Qing Ling turned to Nian Hong, "Don't forget, you have also been my handmaiden." If being a servant girl is the same as being lowly, then you are no better. ”

Nian Hong was choked and her face turned purple, and she stammered when she spoke, "I, how can I, compare, compare with her!" ”

I didn't rub my face against the son, I didn't pretend to be weak and fainted in front of the son, and I didn't try to drill into the son's bedroom day and night!

In the half year that Qingling was recuperating in Fuyu Mountain, Xiwu and Qiu Zhi stayed in the Xuanwang Mansion and served Luo Yao with the Nian Ying brothers and sisters.

Qiu Zhi is nothing, she doesn't talk much, and she is diligent in her work. And that night fog, I never touched the things that endured hardships and suffering, and when I encountered an errand that was close to serving the son, I immediately became more active than anyone else. Nianhong didn't see any clues at first, but later found that there would be some "accidents" every time the evening fog poured tea and water for the prince, and then she slowly realized something.

Although Nian Hong has not experienced much, she was born in the Dazehou Mansion and has seen the methods of women. The Hou Ye in the family only loves his wife alone, and has not remarried for many years, but in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, there are still several concubines who are given by the Emperor Hao from Lingxiao City.

The Baili clan has been divided from the rich since ancient times, and the clansmen are more or less proud in their bones, so Nianhong seems to be very arrogant, but the identity and pomp and etiquette that should be paid attention to are not ambiguous, and naturally they are not used to the behavior of Xiwu who has no name and no share and is trying to get in front of the son.

She privately warned the evening fog: "What is your identity, and what is the identity of my family's son?" You don't beat his idea! The concubines that His Majesty gave to my marquis are all daughters of the Chaoyan clan, and you are a maid of unknown origin, and you also want to cling to my family? Don't even think about it! ”

Xiwu was very aggrieved after hearing this, and the autumn water was full of eyes, "My sister also knows that I am just a humble slave." Since the master wants me to serve the prince wholeheartedly, I can only do as I am told, so why should my sister embarrass me as a subordinate? ”

Nianhong listened to Xiwu's complaint, and gradually came back to her heart, and after a long time, it turned out that Qingling arranged her maid to act like this!

Can......

What kind of woman would try her best to send beautiful women to her fiancé?

Now she heard that Qing Ling actually compared herself with Xiwu, and her chest was blocked with resentment, and after stammering a few words, she finally found her tongue and shouted in a row: "Even if you want to send a woman to the prince, you can choose a person who is noble and worthy of our Daze Baili, that kind of foxy look is not a good family at first glance, and dare to stick it on our son!" Our son likes you so much, you don't like him, forget it, and give him all the anger, are you Chaoyan royal family amazing, I see that your food, clothing, housing, behavior, speech and demeanor are not as good as my young lady......"

I didn't catch it in one breath, and collapsed directly.

Qing Ling raised his hand and stroked the corner of his forehead, and let out a long breath.

Nian Ying stepped forward to help her sister, her face was also a little embarrassed, and she said in a low voice: "Nian Hong, she has made a mistake, and I hope that the emperor is not strange." ”

He paused, and then said: "But her first sentence is right, I am not the only one who can connect Yuzhong with Jiuqiu. Moreover, the incident in Wutong Town indirectly prompted Chaoyan and Jiuqiu to completely turn their faces. Who are the people who are most happy to see this situation happen, if Di Ji thinks about it carefully, the answer will definitely not be my family! ”

But who will be the answer?

If it was said that Emperor Hao wanted to create a crusade against Jiuqiu, and set up a situation like the last time he used himself to lure out the assassins in Yuzhong, there was no need for him to put Mu Han, Hao Chong and Fang Shanlei in danger at the same time. Moreover, now that it is a wartime, the tragic death of the prince is definitely detrimental to the morale of the army, and Emperor Hao has led the army for many years, how can he not understand this truth?

Therefore, even though there were doubts, Qing Ling quickly dismissed this speculation.

As for the Monan Shore Mountain, which commanded the whole army, perhaps...... It's also possible.

The four families have always been afraid of each other, and now that the Fang Shan clan is in power, if Fang Shan Lei is suddenly broken, and then Mu Han is added, it will definitely not be a bad thing for the Mo Nan clan.

Merely......

As soon as he thought of Mo Nan'an Mountain, Qing Ling couldn't help but think of another person......

She subconsciously shook her head, turned around, sat facing the wall, and said coldly, "Don't say anything." Whoever talks more, will go out by himself! ”

～～

Emperor Hao arranged for the forbidden army and attendants to guard Qingling to stay in Zhanggu Mountain for a few days, and there were some puzzled questions.

For three days in a row, the emperor and the prince of Daze, as well as the attendants who were close to him, stayed at home in the main hall of the Zhangguo Palace, and even the meals were solved by wishing Yu Dan, from morning to night, the palace door was closed, and the slightest movement could not be heard. Sometimes Qiu Zhi would come out to speak for Di Ji, but the content was to let everyone stay where they were and not to move around without permission.

The forbidden soldiers privately discussed that the Heavenly Emperor clan probably had some special worship regulations, and others could only speculate and not watch, and they were unfathomable and indescribable......

On the fourth day, the emperor finally reappeared, and the two of them slowly walked down the stone steps of the main hall.

Luo Yao's complexion seemed to be infected with a layer of sickness compared to a few days ago, and his breath also fluctuated faintly during his actions. Every time I walked, I would stop for a moment, cover my lips with my fists and cough gently.

Qing Ling looked at him expressionlessly, "Fuyang's Xiaoyue Pool is the most nurturing, but you went to it once, but you got sick instead, it's strange." ”

Luo Yao smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" It's just that I'm in a hurry, I catch a cold, and I have a cough. ”

After that, there was another cough.

Qing Ling slowly walked to a garden at the bottom of the stairs and stood still.

The garden had been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds, and a few old stone benches were scattered to the ground. A few jade vines with the fragrance of licorice are jagged in the grass, and the posture seems to be familiar.

Qing Ling lowered his head, "Do you remember a few years ago, I was grounded by my father, and you took me out to relax, and used your divine power to give birth to a lot of Du Ruolai here?" ”

She slowly squatted down, stroked the vine grass with her palm, and looked up at Luo Yao, "Why don't you show your skills again today and conjure up a sea of flowers to see?" ”

As she spoke, there was a hint of a smile on the corners of her red lips, but her tone and gaze were cold and penetrating.

This morning, Luo Yao quietly returned to the Zhangguo Palace, and when he put away the illusion, his pale face was terrifying, obviously suffering from serious internal injuries. But his face has been holding up as if nothing happened, and he smiled to deal with the concern of the Nian Ying brothers and sisters.

Qing Ling has been waiting in the hall for the past few days, and after thinking about it, he is also a little hesitant in his heart.

Although she is often emotional, she is not a stubborn person, and after listening to Nian Hong and Nian Ying's words, it is impossible to say that she is completely indifferent. But now that I saw Luo Yao, who had left on the pretext of having a private meeting with Ah Jing, and returned with a suspicious injury, his thoughts became confused again.

For the last time.

She secretly made up her mind in her heart that after so many years of grievances and entanglements, those doubts, alienation, and reluctance caused by indecisiveness, there would still be a break after all.

Luo Yao stood beside her, staring at her silently.

The mountain wind lifted a strand of long hair on his sideburns, and swept the corners of his lips with a bitter smile, "What does Senior Sister want that sea of flowers to do?" ”

Qing Ling didn't answer his question, and slowly stood up, looking out at the clouds beyond the mountain peak.

"You ask me if I don't have any trust in you anymore," she said faintly, frowning slightly, "Then I'll ask you now, where have you been these days?" Who did you meet? ”

Luo Yao was silent for a moment, "Don't you know?" I went to Fuyang and met Ajing. He coughed twice, and added with a smile: "Your maid Qiu Zhi has been with me for two hours. Didn't she come back and tell you? ”

Qing Ling sneered lightly, "Okay." You went to Fuyang and saw Ajing, but you got sick from a cold on the way, and you were so weak that you couldn't even exert your divine power. ”

Luo Yao's handsome face flashed a complex and contradictory look, and he slowly squatted down and reached under the vine leaves.

Soft branches and leaves began to sprout from the soil, and lilac flowers fluttered in the wind to bud and bloom, spreading around him.

Qing Ling still maintained the posture of looking at the clouds and mist outside the peak, and between his snorts, Du Ruo's fragrance gradually hit, lingering softly.

However, a heart sinks boundlessly......

There was a sudden exclamation from the top of the stairs, and then, Nian Hong trotted down all the way, kneeling to support Luo Yao, "Shizi!" ”

Nian Ying also quickly followed, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills, and put them into Luo Yao's mouth.

Qing Ling turned around when he heard the sound and saw Luo Yao's face pale, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips.

The Du Ruo under his feet, who was born from his divine power, withered and withered from the outside to the inside, and fell into mud inch by inch.

Nian Hong raised her head and glared at Qing Ling, "You know that the prince is injured, why do you still let him use his divine power indiscriminately?" ”

Luo Yao raised his hand, wanting to stop Nian Hong, but suddenly met Qing Ling's gaze.

That gaze was as cold as thousands of years of ice, stabbing his heart tightened and his whole body was suddenly cold.

He vaguely realized that something, at this moment, was completely lost.

Qing Ling's gaze swept over the Nianhong brothers and sisters, and he laughed coldly, "Even you can see that he is injured, but someone is desperate for his life and still wants to hide it from me, is it really stupid for me?" You keep saying that you want me to believe him, but how can you make me believe such a deceitful person? ”

The mountain wind swept up the withered Du Ruo petals, and a thin purple rain drifted out, separating her from him at the distant ends.

Last Chance,

If he is willing to tell the truth......

But in the end, she was disappointed.
