Chapter 414: Eavesdropping on the Corner
After listening to Zhao Ling's words, Jingwei immediately understood His Royal Highness's good intentions for Niangniang.
When I looked at His Highness again, I couldn't help but feel happy and relieved for His Highness now; All the Jingwei who followed His Royal Highness were almost accepted into the palace since childhood, although the previous Royal Highness was brave and invincible, but his character was silent and cold, the huge Ling Wangfu looked extremely noble, but only they who lived in the palace knew that this palace was cold and lonely.
But since the relationship between His Royal Highness and Niangniang has warmed up, the smile on His Royal Highness's face has obviously increased, and even the palace, which is always cold and cold, has begun to become lively and popular; Now this Ling Wangfu is a real home, and His Royal Highness has finally found someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life.
Zhao Ling looked at the direction Chu Xingyue left for a long time, thinking of her bouncing appearance before leaving, the corners of her mouth subconsciously hooked, and when he turned around and was about to walk towards the study, he inadvertently saw a faint smile on Jingwei's face behind him.
The smile looked rather strange, with a hint of relief.
Zhao Ling looked at it strangely, Jingwei was stared at by the master's curious eyes and didn't dare to move, so he could only hang his head and take the initiative to find a topic: "Your Highness, someone from the concierge just now reported that Yun Gongzi was back, and I am afraid that I am waiting for you in the study at this time." ”
Even if this Jingwei is still clever, he immediately found such an important topic and attracted Zhao Ling's attention.
Zhao Ling nodded lightly, hummed lightly, and walked towards the study.
In the study, Yunxiao Standing in military uniform stood straight in the middle of the study like a pine and cypress, and the mottled light and shadow outside the window shone in, falling on his slender figure, illuminating his figure flickering brightly and darkly.
During this time, he has been responsible for leading 30,000 city guards outside the city, and the power of the Jiang family should not be underestimated, many people in the city guards have been bought by the Jiang family, or have some close relationships with some dignitaries in the city; Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for the emperor is that the people who are engaged in politics and the army are mixed together, and the city guard has the responsibility of guarding the capital, and the weight is the most important.
In order to prevent this army from reproducing something similar to this rebellion, Yunxiao was ordered to carry out various rectifications in the army, and he followed Zhao Ling's side to go south and north over the years, and he can be regarded as having experienced a lot of ups and downs, so within a few days, his rectification in the army was quite effective; Although the current city guard army does not dare to say that it is like an iron wall, but those gate lord families in Beijing want to do anything in this army, I am afraid it will be in vain.
When Zhao Ling pushed the door in from the outside, he happened to see Yunxiao standing upright in the study, and when he heard the movement coming from the door, he immediately turned around and saluted Zhao Ling: "Your subordinates, see Your Highness." ”
Zhao Ling glanced at Jingwei who was following behind him, and Jingwei immediately understood, retreated alone, and closed the door; In the study, only the two of them remained.
Zhao Ling walked to the wide-backed chair behind the bookcase and sat down, his handsome and cold facial features made him look imposing, especially those deep eyes, like a mighty galaxy, quietly flowing with waves of wisdom: "Yunxiao, is it surprising that His Highness will transfer you back from the city guard so soon?" ”
Yunxiao immediately knelt down on one knee and replied with his fists clenched: "The subordinates are the personal entourages of His Highness, as long as His Highness needs them, his subordinates will never give up." ”
"Your Highness is very clear about your loyalty, it's just Yunxiao, you must know that this time His Highness transferred you, not because he doubted your ability, nor because he doubted your loyalty, but because of something else."
How could Yunxiao not know, just thinking of that person, he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart, unable to face the crown princess who had entrusted him at the beginning.
Zhao Ling understands Yunxiao's character, this kid is the same as him, he is affectionate; However, it is not the same as him, at least not as ruthless as him.
Zhao Ling took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair and looked at Yunxiao, who was kneeling on the ground silently, and said: "Your Highness knows that you are complaining about me in your heart, and you feel that Your Highness is too cruel to Yuan Feng, and you feel that Yuan Feng's death is related to me, and you may even think that Your Highness is despicable enough to hide all the facts from the crown princess, and in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, you are also transferred innocently." ”
Yunxiao hurriedly spoke: "Your Highness, you have misunderstood, your subordinates dare not think like this. ”
"It's okay, Yunxiao, it really doesn't matter, if you think so, Your Highness won't blame you, because Your Highness did something wrong in this matter; Yuan Feng's death, although I don't want to see it, can't deny that his death has nothing to do with me. ”
This was the first time Zhao Ling said to others, "Yunxiao, do you know? His Highness was jealous of him, so jealous that he was on the verge of losing his mind; Yue'er is the wife of His Royal Highness and my crown princess, but he can attract Yue'er's attention intentionally or unintentionally, you know? Even if Yue'er is a close friend to him, his feelings for Yue'er have exceeded that boundary; Don't ask His Highness where he learned about this, you have to believe that a man looks at a man accurately, when he faces Yue'er, when he looks at Yue'er's gaze, he thinks he is hiding it well, but he doesn't know that people's feelings are like sneezes about to be sneezed, which cannot be concealed. ”
"Your Highness has never had a sense of frustration in anything in his life, but when facing the woman he loves, he is in a mood of gain and loss, and he is anxious like an insecure child; Yue'er has never really left His Royal Highness, even when facing Zhao Xuan, she can calmly refuse, but after leaving Beijing, she has left His Royal Highness with him; How can His Highness not be wary of him, and how can he like to accept him? I'm afraid even Yue'er himself doesn't know, Yuan Feng has a special position and significance in his heart, how long they have been together, he can control Yue'er's emotions and feelings, if he stays by Yue'er's side for a long time, is that guy one day taking advantage of His Highness's inattention, will Yue'er be abducted from His Highness's side again? ”
Yunxiao felt that he couldn't listen to it anymore, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling: "Your Highness, Niangniang is your wife, you should trust her, she will not betray you again." ”
"Why didn't you understand? Yunxiao, His Royal Highness doesn't distrust the crown princess, there are only two people His Royal Highness doesn't trust from the beginning, one is Yuan Feng, who can't restrain his feelings and has other feelings for Yue'er, and the other is His Royal Highness himself. ”
Yunxiao looked at Zhao Ling sitting in the chair in a daze, not understanding what he meant by his last sentence.
Zhao Ling raised his head and let out a light sigh, and said: "His Royal Highness has no confidence in himself, he is afraid that that person is too good, if Yue'er finds out that he is too good, and His Highness is compared, then when the time comes, if she wants to leave for the second time, what should His Highness do?" Yunxiao, you should know that His Royal Highness has grown up alone since he was a child, and he never knew what it meant to be accompanied by relatives, even when Luo Yao was still alive, His Royal Highness's feelings for her had never been so strong, His Royal Highness gave all his feelings to a woman in his life, she hurt me once, and I was almost driven crazy by her at that time, do you think if this kind of thing happens again, can I still calm down? ”
Yunxiao thought of His Royal Highness, who had been lonely and lonely all these years, and thought of His Highness who was showing a happy smile by Niangniang's side, and for a while, in the sullen heartache, he finally understood.
It turned out that His Royal Highness had long regarded Yuan Feng as the person who must be eliminated, if it wasn't for Zhuo Lang's incident, Yuan Feng might have been able to live for a while longer, but in the end, his fate was nothing more than two; Either wander around and never return to the capital, or bury the loess deeply, as it is now.
Yunxiao lowered his head in pain, he should have noticed it earlier, he should have understood it earlier; If he had discovered His Highness's mind earlier, he would definitely have prevented Yuan Feng from following Niangniang's side; The ends of the earth, although it is floating everywhere, but it is better than burying bones in loess.
Looking at the faint tears in the corners of Yunxiao's eyes, Zhao Ling knew what Yunxiao was thinking, and said: "His Royal Highness knows that he is suspicious, and he also knows the meaning of the words reincarnation and karma in the world. Therefore, if the truth is revealed one day in the future, His Highness will willingly accept the punishment and will not evade it again. So Yunxiao, you don't have to have a grudge in your heart, and I won't go to great lengths to hide it, and if you do something wrong, Your Highness will not deny it. ”
Yunxiao felt that when he heard His Highness say such a thing today, the chaos that had been suppressed in his heart for several days was instantly relieved.
He felt as if he had seen the glorious Highness come back again, confessing what he had done, not denying the mistakes he had made, and having the courage to bear the consequences for his mistakes.
Such a highness made him rise again to follow and admire.
So, Yunxiao suddenly knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Zhao Ling and said: "The subordinates can understand the struggle in His Highness's heart, the old man has passed away, and the subordinates should also look away, I believe that one day if the mother knows, she will also understand His Highness's love for her; The subordinates will not forget that the subordinates are the personal followers of His Highness, and no matter what His Highness wants his subordinates to do, the subordinates will do their best. ”
Seeing that Yunxiao's eyebrows were no longer full of gloom, Zhao Ling finally showed a faint smile.
But at this time, an angry shout suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "Who is hiding under the corner?" Come out! ”
This voice was very familiar to Zhao Ling and Yunxiao, and it was the voice that belonged to the Jingwei in the house.
Yunxiao and Zhao Ling glanced at each other, and both of them were immediately silent; Yunxiao put his hand on the scabbard on his waist even more vigilantly, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: I don't know who is looking for death, and even dares to eavesdrop on the corner of Ling Wangfu?
