Chapter Forty-Eight: Entering the Mansion (Second Watch)
As soon as Ling Hua walked out of her courtyard gate, she met Ling Yunshen coming to look for her.
Seeing that he looked anxious, Ling Yunshen stopped and asked her, "Seventh sister, is she in a hurry to leave the house?" ”
"Third brother." Ling Hua shouted, nodded, and seeing that he was also in trouble, he stopped and asked, "Third brother, do you have something to look for me?" If it's not urgent, I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
"Today is the day when the Ministry of Rites comes to Najib." Ling Yunshen said, "I'm here to ask, do you want to pick up the pair of geese in person?" ”
"You can take it for me." Ling Hua shook his head and lowered his voice, "I have something urgent, I want to go to the Second Prince's Mansion." ”
Ling Yunshen instantly understood, the matter of the early dynasty has now been rumored, and he also knew, and he didn't expect that the emperor would suppress the invitation of the prince of the East Palace, and let the second highness Xiao Zhen and Zhao Jiang, the head of the household, go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief together.
Leaving such a big matter to His Second Highness really doesn't seem like what His Majesty has always done. Now the courtiers are probably guessing His Majesty's thoughts, and if the prince of the East Palace knows, he is afraid that he will die of anger.
Ling Yunshen nodded, "Then you can go quickly!" ”
Anyway, the banquet will not come in person, it is all a matter of letting the Ministry of Rites go through the motions, and whoever receives the gifts from the Ministry of Gifts will be the same. He took it for her, so it didn't matter.
Ling Hua hurried away.
Sure enough, as Ling Hua expected, when people were not paying attention, she changed the carriage purchased by the ordinary and unnoticeable Second Prince's Mansion and handed over the sign, and the doorman knew the sign and did not dare to stop him, so he immediately respectfully let him into the Second Prince's Mansion.
Ling Hua's movements were fast, and when she arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, Xiao Zhen hadn't returned to the mansion yet, so naturally she didn't attract the attention of others.
Xiao Zhen returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, originally waiting for Ling Hua to reply, but he didn't expect that she had already come to his mansion to wait for him, which made him finally have a smile on his face, which was the purest smile he had seen her since she was married by the Holy Decree.
He returned to his previous appearance in front of Ling Picture and sneered at the emperor, "I don't know what he thinks, he actually asked me to go to Hengchuan County for disaster relief." ”
"When do you leave today?" Ling Hua asked what he was most concerned about.
"I made an appointment with Zhao Jiang for Shen Shi."
Ling Hua nodded, since this is the case, there are still a few hours, it is enough to prepare, since she is here, she is not in a hurry to return home, so she asked him carefully, "What did His Majesty say earlier, what expressions, what words were said, you and I will talk carefully." ”
After all, Liuli couldn't listen to the specific words and everyone's expressions in detail.
Xiao Zhen remembered the situation clearly, and told Ling Hua one by one, his eyes were full of ridicule, "Since I was a child, he didn't pay attention to me, it is better to raise a cat and a dog than to raise me, when I didn't meet you before the age of ten, what kind of life I lived, it was all thanks to him, after the age of ten, with the care of your grandfather, I lived a little like a person, I entered the dynasty for four or five years, any idle position, he never reused, now I don't know how my head was caught by the door, remember me." ”
Ling Hua looked at him helplessly, "It's fortunate that it's your own mansion, right?" ”
He is the only one who dares to scold his emperor Lao Tzu.
Xiao Zhen disagreed, "I scolded him behind my back, how many times have you heard it?" ”
Ling Hua rubbed his ears, "How many times have you said, I don't dare to listen to you every time." ”
She paused, thoughtful, "Your Majesty is trying to warn Xiao Ze?" Tell him that if he is unruly, has no His Majesty, is too arrogant, disobedient, has too much ambition, stretches his hand too long, and repeatedly steps on His Majesty's bottom line, he can also change someone to be the prince? ”
"Look, you also think he's using me to warn Xiao Ze." Xiao Zhen sneered, "He has always put me in the court as an ornament and let me live well, that is, to let Xiao Ze know that although he is the crown prince, he is not the only prince, nor is he the only adult prince, and there is a me below him." Now that Xiao Ze has provoked him, he will sneak me out and let Xiao Ze see that he is not just his son. ”
Ling Hua also felt that the emperor meant this, otherwise for so many years, he would not have given Xiao Zhen a point or two of love, and even moved his mind to marry Xiao Zhen to the princess, all of them planned to let Xiao Zhen marry Wen Xirou, the second lady of the Wen family, and twist him on the rope of the East Palace, so that he could not jump, after all, the involvement between the Wen family and the East Palace was too deep, Xiao Zhen really married Wen Xirou, and the Wen family would definitely not help Xiao Zhen to deal with Xiao Ze in turn, Xiao Ze could only be pressed and aggrieved by the East Palace.
However, who would have thought that the crown princess Wen of the East Palace would fall down and be abolished like this? Now that the second lady of the Wen family wants to marry into the East Palace to maintain the bond between the Wen family and the East Palace, His Majesty's idea will naturally not come to pass.
Ling Hua pondered and said, "Now I don't have time to speculate about what Your Majesty is thinking, the top priority is that you are now sent by Your Majesty to Hengchuan County for disaster relief, Xiao Ze will definitely be furious, he is afraid that he will also be flustered, and he will definitely not do nothing quietly." In the past, he didn't deal with you because he felt that you were looked down upon by His Majesty, he didn't like it, and he didn't need to deal with you if he was in an idle position, but now it's different, and the battle between you and Xiao Ze has to start in advance. ”
Xiao Zhen nodded affirmatively, "He is that person, but anyone who threatens his position, he must get rid of him quickly, even if I am forced to be pushed out by my father to go to disaster relief, no matter what my father thinks, Xiao Ze must kill me outside Beijing, and I will not be allowed to make meritorious contributions because of this disaster relief." ”
Ling Hua shook the fan, "That's what I mean, Xiao Ze is someone who would rather kill by mistake than let go." ”
She remembered something, and her face sank like water, "Back then, he was able to say to my grandfather in front of His Majesty and let me go, I'm afraid it was the only thing he did in his life to let people go." ”
Xiao Zhen also vaguely knew some inside information, and his face was ugly, "Back then, he had a dirty mind about you." ”
He also found out later, he wanted to strangle Xiao Ze, but he was also glad that he had that dirty mind back then, otherwise, even if he fought hard, he was afraid that it would be difficult to save her, after all, others were soft-spoken, and she didn't stand up by herself back then, and she didn't stand up by herself.
"Your Majesty is now in good health, and it is not a good thing for you to face the East Palace in advance. But at this point, it can only be right. Ling Hua knew very well in his heart, "Once you leave Beijing, Xiao Ze will definitely do something to you, and if he can't kill you, he will know that you are not a simple person who can be pinched to death by him as easily as an ant, all along, he is blind and blinded by you, so that he will be like a mad dog, staring at you to death and biting you to death." ”
"Bite and bite!" Xiao Zhen sneered, "Anyway, I've been waiting for a day, and I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Ling Hua has no other way, since he can't hide it, then he doesn't have to hide it anymore, "Wangshu and Hefeng took people out of Beijing first, but I didn't expect Xiao Ze's news to be learned in a timely manner, although Wangshu and Hefeng left a little earlier, but in order to hide people's eyes, they went to Hengchuan County through the Jiangnan Cao Road, which delayed some effort. Xiao Ze sent the head secret guard of the East Palace, I was afraid that Wangshu would not be able to deal with it, so I sent him a message and asked him to transfer Cangyunwei in Lingshan Mountain. ”
Xiao Zhen didn't know about the transfer of Cang Yunwei, and he was also dignified, "Cang Yunwei is the biggest trump card left to you by your grandfather, you are moving now, if the East Palace finds you by Shun Teng, he will definitely not give up, he will bite you to death, if his father knows, I am afraid that he will be suspicious of you, he has been very jealous of Lingshan all these years." ”
Ling Hua said with a fierce spirit, "Then you won't let the head secret guard of the East Palace come back, and all of them will be destroyed." ”
Xiao Zhen: "......"
The head of the East Palace, where can it be so easy to say that it will be extinguished? It's too light to say.
He looked at Ling Hua and didn't speak for a long time, but his expression was obvious, do you think I look like someone with this ability?
Ling Hua was amused by him, "You're a little bit promising!" Can't you say you can do it? You have gone to Hengchuan County in person, how hard have you been holding back all these years? Can't it erupt like a volcano? ”
Xiao Zhen was silent, "I'll try my best." ”
The head guard of the East Palace, he also wants to leave no one, if he can, naturally one will not stay. In this way, her Cangyunwei will not be exposed, even if Xiao Ze cries to death, he can only cry at that time.
Ling Hua took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Ze, "Seeing Lingru seeing me, you take him, Wangshu and the others are all at your disposal, and so is Cangyunwei." ”
Xiao Zhen paused, took it, held the token in his hand, and nodded.
Ling Hua said again, "Let the drizzle follow you, and I will give you a team of my secret guards, and you will all take them out of Beijing and bring all the people in your mansion." ”
She rarely looked solemn, "Xiao Zhen, you must live, only if you live, it makes sense for me to pay for ten years." I will one day pull Xiao Ze down from the position of the prince, you are on top, a thousand times better than him as a prince, ten thousand times, in the future to be the emperor, become a Ming monarch and a virtuous monarch, I can be worthy of the people of Houliang. ”
Xiao Zhen didn't know what to say for a while, his emotions surged, and he could only say the usual three words, "Got it." ”
