"Your Majesty's mind has always been unpredictable, and I can't tell what Your Majesty wants to do!" Zhao Ling moved his fingers, "But His Majesty's intention to separate me does exist!" ”

"The matter of the Cardinal Sect, if someone has a heart, it will indeed implicate Xiaoyu, if you really have to leave the capital, take her with you!" Zhao Qian thought for a while and said.

"If Your Majesty wants to move her, she won't wait until today, don't worry, as long as Your Majesty doesn't speak, Xiaoyu will definitely not be in any danger, I'm not very worried about this!" Zhao Ling said, "And now the thing that worries me is the Cardinal Sect, the timing and motive for its appearance are too weird, there must be someone behind it, either for the sake of Xiaoyu or to stir up the troubled waters of the year!" I originally wanted to go to the northwest to find out about the matter, but now His Majesty has transferred me to Qiandong for disaster relief......"

"Your Majesty will not let the affairs of the Cardinal Sect go unchecked, in my opinion, it is better for you to leave here with Xiaoyu, maybe after you come back from disaster relief, the matter of the Cardinal Sect will be resolved!" Zhao Qian said, "What's more, you can deepen the relationship between the two of you along the way!" ”

"The holy decree estimates that it will come down today, I will leave the capital in the next two days, I will go back later and ask what Xiaoyu means!" Zhao Ling thought for a while and said, "I have something to ask for, you are in Beijing, if Su Xuan has something, you can help!" ”

"You and my brother, I don't need you to say this, I know how to do it!" Zhao Qian sighed, with regret in his eyes, "It's just a pity for Su Xuan, in the end, she still underestimated the degree of shamelessness of the third child!" Although we haven't reached the point of life and death with the third child now, we really have to be very careful in the future, I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that he doesn't dare to do! With such a heart shape, I really don't know what Da Zhou will become if it really falls into his hands! ”

He was a little puzzled and said: "Everyone sees the third child's temperament as ruthless, Your Majesty may not know, why is he still hesitating between the second and third children?" ”

"It's not just the third and third, don't forget that there is also a fifth!" Zhao Ling and Zhao Qian walked to the side of the horse, and he continued, "Your Majesty himself is in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he may also be observing the fifth child, he is sharpening his sons while suppressing them, isn't the purpose just to avoid what happened ten years ago? Power is such a fascinating thing, only when you hold it in your own hands, you can rest assured! ”

The two got on the horse and slowly walked towards the capital, the capital was still bustling and lively, but both of them had some things piled up on their hearts, and it was difficult to be happy. Killing and blood, in the struggle for imperial power, will never stop, this prosperity and this calm, who knows how long it can last, who knows if there is a violent hurricane hidden behind it?

The two broke up at the end of the street, Zhao Qian went to inspect his own industry, and Zhao Ling went to Jiang's house.

Since the death of the eldest lady, Jiang Xiaoyu has been particularly in love with her mother, and the leaves of the peach trees in the yard have gradually withered and yellowed, and they have fallen one by one when the wind blows.

Jiang Xiaoyu had hoped to wash away the humiliation on her mother's body, but the suicide of the eldest lady disrupted her plan, and then there was this cardinal sect that appeared for no reason, so that she didn't dare to make plans without permission, who knows if someone would take this matter and pull her into the bottomless abyss?

Although this cardinal sect is under the banner of the Bai family, it must have nothing to do with my grandfather, and it has nothing to do with the Bai family, either someone is carefully planning or someone wants to fish in troubled waters, but it is just to avenge my grandfather, but it is just to satisfy my own selfish desires, and it will consume my grandfather's reputation even more, whether it is for her own safety or for her grandfather's reputation, she can't tolerate this kind of thing.

"Miss! Miss! ”

Yan Yan called a few times, and Jiang Xiaoyu came back to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”

"The son of the world is here, and he is talking to the master at this time, and he should come over in a while!" Yan Yan smiled.

"Got it!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, but there were some doubts in his heart, didn't he always like to open the window? Why are you so disciplined today?

Sure enough, it didn't take a while, Zhao Ling came to Taoyao Courtyard, he remembered that when he first came to this courtyard, the peach blossoms in this courtyard were scorching, but now the leaves began to wither, looking two points desolate, unconsciously time has passed for so long, he still hasn't been able to marry her back.

"It's a good day, what's going on?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a reluctant smile.

Zhao Ling didn't care that there were still subordinates, and took two steps forward and gently hugged Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms: "I miss you!" ”

Yan Yan smiled secretly, and hurriedly sent everything in the courtyard down, leaving space for the two of them.

"You're getting more and more flamboyant!" Jiang Xiaoyu quipped, "Now I have learned to be coquettish!" ”

Zhao Ling let go of the woman in his arms, pulled her to sit down at the stone table not far away, thought for a while and said, "Today, my aunt has set off to the fiefdom!" ”

"I know about it!"

"The flood in Qiandong, the food and silver sent by the imperial court for disaster relief were embezzled and deducted by officials at all levels, almost causing a rebellion among the refugees, Your Majesty sent me to the disaster relief, and by the way, I will leave in two days!" Zhao Ling said, "I'm not worried that you are alone in the capital, and I want to take you with me!" What do you think? ”

"It's very stuffy after the capital, and it doesn't hurt to go, it's breathable!" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said.

"That's good! So I'm going to prepare! Zhao Ling hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry too much about the matter of the Cardinal Sect, I will ask the second prince to go and investigate the matter clearly, you should rest assured that the second prince will do things, if someone has bad intentions, he will not let it go, but if there are innocent people...... He won't kill them all, thinking about it, he is the most suitable person! ”

"Your Majesty is already suspicious, if you don't handle it well at this time, I'm afraid it will make Your Majesty suspicious!"

"I'm afraid that I won't be the only one who hopes that the second prince can handle this matter......" Zhao Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, looking a little helpless.

"You mean that Your Majesty may take the opportunity to test the second prince...... I once heard that the relationship between the second prince and the former prince is very good! Jiang Xiaoyu whispered.

"With our majesty's temperament, it is completely possible to do it!" Zhao Ling said sarcastically with a corner of his mouth.

Both of them fell silent at the same time, perhaps from different angles and different aspects, both of them could feel the cold-bloodedness and suspicion of their majesty, and no one could guarantee that the storm would not come suddenly because of a certain inadvertent moment, which made this majesty suspicious, born in the center of imperial power, and obtained the power that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and accompanied the king like a tiger, and at the same time faced the danger that could come at any time.

"This is not a peaceful place to go to the disaster area, but I can rest assured that you have to be in a place where I can see at any time! I know you're stronger than I thought, but I'm always wishful thinking of you as the little girl chasing me back then! Zhao Ling sighed, "I'll go back and prepare, you can also pack up your things!" ”

"Good!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded.

In the evening, the holy decree for Zhao Ling to go to the disaster relief had already arrived in the palace of the king of Chu, after Zhao Ling received the holy decree, he first called a pair of younger siblings to him and gave instructions, and then went to the study of the king of Chu, and talked with the king of Chu before returning to his courtyard.

It was already late at night, but the courtyard was bright, the lights in each room were on, and the people were busy preparing his luggage for disaster relief, knowing that they would not be able to return to the capital for a while and a half, and their son was a noble person, so naturally everything was in order, and everything that should be prepared was ready.

The people in the courtyard are busy, but only Ruyan is busy in the bedroom, since she became Zhao Ling's personal maid, she is not allowed to enter Zhao Ling's bedroom, she is alone inside and out.

"Don't be busy, let's talk for a while!" Zhao Ling sat down, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and said lightly.

Ruyan was a little flattered, since the prince and that woman were engaged, it had been a long time since she had spoken to herself so gently, she tidied up her hair, came to Zhao Ling's side, and hurriedly said: "Slave maid go and make tea for the prince first!" ”

"Don't bother!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "Sit down, we haven't talked well for a long time!" ”

"The prince has something on his mind?" Ruyan keenly noticed that Zhao Ling's eyes today did not seem to be as bright as before, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, thinking that the mood of the next life was not good, she was more and more careful, wanting to detect clues from his words, and be an interpretive flower, which could relieve the troubles of the son.

"What do you think of my treatment of you?" Shizi asked, playing with his teacup.

"The son of the world treats slaves and maids like a mountain!" Ruyan thought about it and said, I don't know why the prince would talk about himself.

Zhao Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Ruyan, he couldn't see joy and anger from behind his eyes, nor could he see his emotions, he smiled: "I can't say that it is as heavy as a mountain, but I can be regarded as worthy of you when I ask myself, starting from your sister handing you over to me, whether you want to take over the Yangliu Pavilion or if you want to take over the Chu Wangfu as a maid, I will rely on you for everything, if you don't want to be a maid anymore, as long as you say it, I will definitely let you leave, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, I don't think there is a place to live with you!" ”

"What did the prince say?" Ruyan hurriedly said, "The prince naturally has no place to be sorry for the slave!" ”

"Well, in that case, why did you betray me?" Zhao Ling asked coldly, his eyes flying towards him like a blade.

Ruyan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his breathing accelerated, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Why did the prince say this? If you can't understand the smoke! ”
