"By the way, this is what Ling Gongzi asked me to hand over to the girl." When Lan Gu left, she handed over the things in her hand to Gu Yunli, a pot of lonely cigarettes, and a piece of paper with scribbled handwriting.

Wine gifts, promise not to forget, see you another day.

Promise?

Gu Yunli thought about it for a long time and didn't remember what the handwriting had promised him, could it be that he was inviting him to drink? I really can't think of Gu Yunli, so I won't bother anymore, and I'll ask when he comes back.

Holding the pot of lonely cigarette in his hand and turning it at will, Gu Yunli raised his eyebrows and shook his head and smiled, is this gift of wine and half a bottle of Dijing exquisite? When he comes back, ask him.

Here, Gu Yunli had just received Ling Yuanqing's parting gift, and he didn't know that that person was making trouble in the imperial capital.

In the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a crackling sound in the study again, and the little maid waiting outside trembled, bending her waist even more, for fear that one would become a pond fish that was affected if she was not careful.

"Rebel! This rebel! The angry roar of the center-left prime minister spread throughout the prime minister's mansion.

"The old master is angry, the second young master just feels sorry for Mrs. Lian, and she is young and vigorous, if you talk to him well, he will definitely be able to understand your difficulties."

"I don't care about selling all the maids in Dongyuan without authorization, he even dared to stab the basket in front of Zhang Ge Lao, or in such a stupid way, he was so angry that Zhang Ge Lao caught me like a mad dog in the court. What about the rebel? ”

"Second Young Master...... Second young master, go buy pastries for Mrs. Lian. The butler's voice grew lower.

"How can this be true? Poked such a big basket, he was able to go to the street to buy pastries like no one! Go get him back for me! ”

"This ......," the butler hesitated. After staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, no one knows this master's temperament better than him, don't look at him now that he is so angry that he wants to kill Ling Yuanqing, but that second young master is his favorite son in his heart, and when he is angry, there will be nothing. And that person's temperament is also the same stubbornness as his father, if he really ties it up, the two don't know how to make trouble.

Ling Mingshu glared, and the housekeeper had to bow down and let people "invite" Ling Yuanqing back, only delaying the time as much as possible.

As soon as the little guy who was selected to catch Ling Yuanqing came back, he saw Ling Yuanqing striding back with a large bag and a small bag, his face instantly turned cloudy and clear, and he greeted him attentively.

"Second young master, master, please go to the study." A small guy said cautiously.

"No, no." Ling Yuanqing walked directly to the backyard without stopping.

The little guy hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Ling Yuanqing, looked at the pastries in his hand and bent down to flatter: "Do you want to take this snack to Mrs. Lian, let the little one help you send it over, it's freezing this day, how good it would be for you to go to the master's study to drink a cup of hot tea." As he spoke, he cautiously stretched out his hand and prepared to pick it up.

Ling Yuanqing raised his hand to avoid the little girl's hand, "It's better to do filial piety yourself." ”

"Second young master, you can do it, save the little ones, if you don't go to see the master, the little ones will be decided." This little guy was about to cry, and the few people behind him also looked at Gu Yunli with a look of concern.

"It's this trick again, and it's not annoying." Ling Yuanqing's brows were furrowed, and he didn't know if he was talking about Zuo Xiang or these little guys. He only threw the pastries in his hand into the hands of the little servant, and turned around and walked in the direction of the study.

Looking at his back, the little guys secretly exhaled and carefully carried the pastries to Mrs. Lian's courtyard.

Madame Lian took the big bags of food and smiled crookedly. Hearing that Ling Yuanqing was called to the study, he was worried again and fidgeted. I wanted to rush to the study, but what if I went, the man would never listen to her words.

Not to mention how Mrs. Lian was upset, Ling Yuanqing went to Zuo Xiang's study, and when he saw the mess in the place, he shook his head and only stood at the door and did not take a step in.

"I said Lord Zuo Xiang, no matter how much filial piety is given below, it can't be wasted like this, the treasures and fragments in this place must be seen by people, and you must be arrogant and lascivious."

"Rebel, you still have the face to come back!"

"I knew that you thought I was going to be uncomfortable, so I wanted to stay away from you, but you had to let me get in your way. Why don't I go first, and you can calm down? After Ling Yuanqing finished speaking, he wanted to leave.

"You let me in!" Ling Mingshu gritted his teeth.

There was no way, Ling Yuanqing had no choice but to step into the study, carefully avoiding the porcelain fragments on the ground.

"Tell me what you have done to make Zhang Ge angry like this." Ling Mingshu took a sip of tea and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and asked.

"I didn't do anything, didn't I just return the maid who made medicine for the woman in Dongyuan to Zhang Ge Lao's wife, a bunch of Yingying Yanyan in the old man's mansion, I think she will make a big difference in the old man's mansion. Oh, by the way, before I went, I also asked the maid to write down all the prescriptions she knew, and publicized these conscience prescriptions for the old mansion for free, rest assured, I have checked those prescriptions with the medical hall to ensure that they are all good medicines that kill people invisibly and kill people. ”

"How dare you say it! Hurting Zhang Ge Lao with such an inferior method will do you no good. Which of the people in the court does not have some selfishness in the family, so a consensus has long been formed here, no matter how the court attacks each other, they will not easily dig into the yin and selfishness of the other party's inner house. If you do this, how to settle down in the court in the future, Zhang Ge Lao will not give up easily, and others will also regard you as a flood beast. ”

Ling Mingshu bitterly wanted to tell Ling Yuanqing about his many years of experience in the court, but the other party was not a person who would appreciate it, "I never thought of entering this court in your mouth, and you will never understand what I am looking for in your life." So don't tell me about your so-called way of dealing with the world, we are for different people, and we are in a different world. ”

"Since you have been born in the Prime Minister's House, there are many things that are destined to be unavoidable. If you are so stubborn, one day, you will regret it. I don't know when Ling Mingshu began to see this son clearly, he was so similar to himself, but so different.

"Maybe you're right. But I'm not going to dismiss the idea altogether because I might regret it later. I don't think I'll ever be like you in my life. What is the woman in Dongyuan, you have always known that she has been giving in all these years, eager to fall into the dust and no longer obstruct anyone's eyes, but she still can't escape persecution again and again. If she hadn't refused, I would have taken her out of this tiger and wolf den a long time ago. If there is a next time, even if I tie her, I will kidnap her. ”

Ling Yuanqing continued: "This time I have caused you trouble, you can expel me from the family and send me to the bitter cold land in the northwest, I think Xizhou is good." In this way, there can be an explanation for those people in the court. Thinking about these things, it is not difficult to bring down the dignified Zuo Xiang, there are still beauties in Gudao City who are looking forward to returning, and I hope you can send me over as soon as possible. ”

After a few more days, Zuo Xiang finally sought the emperor's will to send Ling Yuanqing to the small town of Xizhou on the northwest border to serve as a small county commander, and he would never return to Beijing to take up his post without outstanding achievements.

As soon as the others saw people, Zuo Xiang was willing to send his son to a place where the birds didn't, and there was nothing to say, and as soon as Zuo Xiang's son left Beijing, there was one less person to grab the official position with his own son and nephew, which was also a blessing. Only Zhang Ge Lao and Ling Mingshu, who were hurt by Ling Yuanqing's face, turned from in-laws to enemies, and they fought vigorously.

Among them, the happiest is the right minister's faction, the left minister lost a son this time, not to mention, there is such a difficult enemy as Zhang Gelao, they are naturally happy to see it. The taste of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is not too refreshing.

Ling Yuanqing, the initiator of this incident, was also very satisfied with this result, thinking that after this incident, the woman in Dongyuan could stop for a long time, and Mrs. Lian's safety was unhindered, and she could completely leave the troubled waters of the imperial capital and return to the ancient road city to live her own free life. There are beautiful scenery, fine wine, and beautiful women, as long as you do nothing, you can stay forever, he is stupid to want to do a good job and return to Beijing.

From this point of view, the only victims of this farce can't figure out that their son's Zuo Xiang and Zhang Ge, who is half angry, are old, but these two people are still in love and killing each other in the court.

And none of this had anything to do with Ling Yuanqing, he packed his luggage and rode out of the imperial capital with his two usual guards on the second day when it was still dark.

In the shadow of the Imperial Capital Gate, Madame Lian, who knew that he was leaving today, had someone wait here in a carriage early, just to give him an extra ride.

"Madam has been waiting here for a long time, why don't you go out to meet the second young master?" The maid asked.

"It's enough to see him leave well, but it's not beautiful when I see it, I will be reluctant, and he will not be relieved, and he will not be able to live happily." Madame Lian said lightly, her eyes full of soft smiles.

At this time, Gu Yunli of Gudao City didn't know that someone was riding a horse towards her, and she was busy discussing with Lan Gu how to use the condensation building to get the information she wanted, and she was thinking about finding someone to make up for the lack of greenery, and occasionally she had time just to think about why Ji Qingcheng hadn't come back yet, worried about whether his trip would be safe.

Many times, things change very quickly, a month, a day, a moment, something changes just a moment. Once the opportunity is missed, it is difficult to recover, and there is only a sigh left.
