After Niuniu left, Linlang looked at Yaru: "Aru, is something happening, why did you come back so late?"

Yaru was depressed: "Yes, Concubine Shu set up a game for us in the palace today, we were defenseless, and my husband and I fell for her plan." As she spoke, she told Linlang the details of what had happened.

When Linlang heard this, she was furious: "Despicable, this concubine is pulling people for her own son." She thought that Miss Xu San was the sister of Princess An, as long as Miss Xu San entered the county palace, the county palace would become a person on the line of his King An, even if we did not fall to King An in the future, the emperor and the prince would have doubts about our county palace, and King An's mother and son had a good calculation. ”

Yaru smiled bitterly: "Mother, no matter what, this time she won, at least she sent Miss Xu San to the county king's mansion smoothly." ”

Linlang looked at her with concern and said, "Yaru, don't take it too seriously. Men of the Celestial Empire, which one is not three wives and four concubines. Your father and Yuanhang are already different, if it weren't for such a change, I believe Yuanhang would have guarded you for the rest of your life. But something like this happened, and this is something that Yuanhang can't change. If only other girls were fine, but this is Princess An's sister. This matter was discovered in Concubine Shu's palace again, and she could only take Miss Xu San into the palace under the cover, or it would be completely ruined if she didn't sail far, unless the emperor didn't care.

Yaru sighed and said, "How can I not know this reason, so today in Shuyu Palace, I agreed for my husband." Let's let Miss Xu enter the house first. I have to allow her the status of a noble concubine, which is good, this time I will enter a noble concubine. ”

At the same time, in the county king's study, Ling Yuanhang held his head in pain, and his voice whimpered: "Father, what do you say, what is this called? I went to pick up Yaru well, but it was designed like this." Father, Aru is fine, I don't want one more person among us. ”

The king of the county looked at his son, his son had grown up with him at the border since he was a child, how could he not know his son's temperament and his son's view of marriage. My father's marriage gave them a great warning, one more woman, and the family would not be quiet. So he and his son just want to be content to live alone. Today's incident is indeed unpredictable, his own back house is very quiet, his son has not experienced such a shady means as the back house, and today Concubine Shu is using a serial plan, such a comprehensive plan is difficult for people to hide from the past. In addition, Hang'er and Aru have a very good relationship, and he will be anxious to see Aru when he cares about Aru, and the woman Concubine Shu is calculated.

The king comforted him and said, "Hang'er, you don't have to worry, Yaru is a sensible child, she will forgive you." ：”

"But, father, I didn't know anything at the time, I had fainted, how could I have done that, I really suspect that they had arranged it beforehand. And I didn't feel anything wrong with myself when I woke up. Ling Yuanhang's eyes were full of confusion.

The king put his hand on his son's shoulder, and he looked at his eldest son, a very capable and affectionate child. The king of the county was also afraid that he would ruin him by being stubborn in dealing with this matter, and he said: "Hang'er, you must have the courage to accept reality." Now that things have happened, whether you do it or not, Concubine Shu's purpose is very clear. She doesn't want a truth, but a result. If you think about Hang'er, Concubine Shu is a person who has never set foot in court affairs. At this point, even the emperor admires her very much, this is where she is smart, so she has not lost her sacred heart for so many years. But now she has done such a thing behind the emperor's back, why do you say she is?"

Ling Yuanhang said: "Miss Xu San is the younger sister of Princess An, Concubine Shu can only be for King An, she wants us to get on the boat of King An." Ling Yuanhang looked straight at his father with his eyes: "This shows that King An has made up his mind to earn that position with the crown prince." ”

The king of the county looked at his son appreciatively: "Hang'er, you are right, it turns out that we are not sure whether King An will really fight for that position, but we just think that he has his own power." But today's incident makes us understand that King An really has different intentions. In addition, Concubine Shu has another purpose, that is, even if you don't rely on King An in the future, just because your concubine is Princess An's sister, the prince will not trust you completely, he kills two birds with one stone. We really can't underestimate this King An. ”

Ling Yuanhang was a little anxious: "Then what should we do." ”

The king of the county smiled: "It's easy to do, the emperor is not a foolish person, Concubine Shu thinks that we must not dare to say this matter, we really can't say it to the outside world, but you have to go to the emperor and say it to the emperor alone." It also saves the emperor from hearing other statements that are not in line with the facts from other people's mouths in the future. ”

"Can the emperor believe it?" Ling Yuanhang was a little worried.

The king of the county said confidently: "If it were usual, he might not be, and he would be very concerned about this matter." But if this matter involves the struggle for the throne and King An does this, what do you think the emperor will think? In order to prevent many dreams at night, you should go and see the emperor now. You command the Imperial Forest Army and enter and leave the palace, and the concubine will not be suspicious of you entering the palace. This time, I want King An to lift a stone to smash his own feet, and I want Concubine Shu to steal chickens and rice. ”

The emperor looked at Ling Yuanhang, who was kneeling in front of him, and said kindly: "Yuanhang, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't go home for the New Year, what is the matter with seeing Yuan? ”

Ling Yuanhang couldn't get up: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask you for guilt." Don't dare to get up, or kneel. ”

The emperor was amused by him: Oh, let's hear it. ”

Ling Yuanhang said: "After today's palace banquet, the minister's wife was invited to tea by Concubine Shu. Later, the palace maid of Shuyu Palace came to call the minister, saying that the minister's wife fainted while talking to Niangniang in Shuyu Palace. ”

The emperor leaned forward: "And then?"

Then, the minister was in a hurry to go to the Shuyu Palace, you also know that the minister and his wife have a good relationship, and the minister's heart is very anxious. But when he got there, he didn't see his wife. Ling Yuanhang continued.

The emperor's body moved, and his eyes were fixed on Ling Yuanhang: "Oh, what about your wife?"

"There was a man in the room who was lying there dressed in the clothes of his wife, and the minister thought it was his wife, so he stepped forward, but though the man's face was flushed, the minister recognized that the man was not the wife, because the smell of the man was different. At that time, the minister didn't know who the woman was, so the minister turned around and walked out. But the doors and windows were sealed from the outside, and green smoke blew in from the windows, and the minister knew that he had been calculated. So the minister cut a cut on his body to make himself sober, but the poisonous smoke still made the minister faint. ”

At this time, the emperor had completely straightened himself, his eyes were fixed on Ling Yuanhang, and Li Quan next to him sweated for Ling Yuanhang, and he prayed in his heart, General Ling, the people in that room must not be people you can't mess with.

Ling Yuanhang showed a painful look on his face: "When the minister woke up, he found that he was only wearing a shirt, but next to him was the disheveled Xu San girl. ”

The emperor sat back in his seat, and Li Quan secretly wiped the sweat on his face, which also scared people out of sweat in this winter. Li Quan still thought that person was Concubine Shu, and he didn't want to think about how old Concubine Shu was and how old Ling Yuanhang was. But it's normal, although Concubine Shu is older, she is beautiful and looks very old.

The emperor asked, "You put Miss Xu San to sleep." It's nothing, just take home and be a concubine. ？

Ling Yuanhang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the key is that the minister was designed by someone, and the minister is not the first in the world, he is already unconscious, how can he still have the consciousness to do anything." ”

"What about later?" As soon as the emperor heard that the person was Miss Xu San, he already had a plan in his heart.

Later, Concubine Shu Niangniang came with Princess An and his wife Guan. Princess Shufei Niangniang pointed to the blood stain on the bed and asked the minister to admit it, otherwise the emperor would know about it.

He paused, kowtowed three more times, and said, "The minister knows that the minister is guilty of doing such a thing in the palace of the concubine. But the minister also felt wronged, and the minister's wife and one of her maidservants were also stunned, and the other girl went to the minister with the palace maid of the lady concubine, and it was because of the wife's maid that the minister was convinced that his wife fainted. As he spoke, he peeked at the emperor's expression again.

The emperor's face was a little gloomy at this time: "Yuanhang, do you want to admit the third girl into the mansion?" But I think you should accept it, this matter will be suppressed by you when it comes to me." After the New Year, take Miss Xu into the house. You've been married for three years, and you should have a son. As for what you said that you are guilty, I don't think it's anything, and those who don't know are not guilty. Go home and comfort Guan, I guess she was also scared. Li Quan, you go to the library to find two good jewelry to reward Young Lady Ling. ”

Li Quan happily agreed, and then retreated with Ling Yuanhang.

Li Quan came out and said with a smile to Ling Yuanhang, "General Ling, you scared our family a lot just now. This matter, now that you have passed the clear road in the emperor, you don't have to worry about the rest. Just go back and coax the young lady well. ”

Ling Yuanhang said gratefully, "Thank you, Gonggong Li." ”

Li Quan smiled and said, "You're welcome, General Ling." Let's go, go with our family and get the reward. ”

After the Lantern Festival, Miss Xu San sat in a small sedan chair and entered the mansion from the west gate of the county king's mansion. Linlang placed her in the place where Lu Yi and Red Clothes lived according to Ling Yuanhang's wishes. This place is more remote, but it is very quiet, and the environment is also good, but it is far away from the main courtyard of Yaru.

Although she is a noble concubine, Miss Xu San's entrance is very cold. Ling Yuanhang didn't even invite guests, and he didn't show up himself, but just asked people to lead Miss Xu San to Yaru's room for tea.

Yaru didn't feel sorry for her, but she didn't say anything else, just took the tea, dipped her lips, and waved her hand to let her retreat.

The third girl Xu entered the county king's mansion to be Ling Yuanhang's concubine, which can be said to be a stone that stirred up a thousand waves in the aristocratic circle of the capital. So there were all kinds of rumors in the capital, but the most talked about was that Yaru had fallen out of favor. Some people say that Yaru has been married for nearly four years and has only given birth to a daughter, not even a son-in-law, and people can't always live with such a woman who doesn't give birth to a son.
