I'm looking for Zhong Ling, what are you doing here? The emperor said with a cold face, then turned his face, lowered his head and looked at the ground and said, "Go and see Thirteen, she is losing her temper in the harem without eating or drinking." ”

Bai Qingqing was about to say something, opened his mouth, and saw that the emperor raised his head and glared at him, and swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.

Bai Qingqing was also interested, so he had to look at Zhong Ling on the side helplessly and worriedly, and then retreated.

The emperor turned to look at Zhong Ling, dressed in red, with a jade tree in the wind, and his face was immature but his face was calm and resolute.

The emperor's expression was calm, and after a little look, he got straight to the point and said: "Zhong Ling, it is really handsome and glowing, and her bearing is extraordinary, no wonder my little thirteenth sister will have a soft spot for you, do you want to think about it." ”

When Zhong Ling heard this, her face was awe-inspiring, she shook the hem of her clothes, "poof", and suddenly knelt on the ground.

Ding Quan next to him was stunned.

The emperor was also full of surprise.

Zhong Ling was solemn, with a firm face, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you should know what Weichen thinks about the Nine Princes, why bother to force Weichen." If you want me to give up my brother, you might as well give me death now! ”

The emperor shook his head for a moment, and when he regained his calm, he said helplessly: "You ......"

Seeing this, Ding Quan hurriedly took a step forward and said slowly: "Young Master Zhong, the emperor asked you to come this time, just ask what you think, don't be in a hurry to answer, we still have room for discussion, don't talk too much." The thirteenth princess is not only the emperor's sister, but also the sister of the ninth prince, the ninth prince watched his sister trapped by love, sad and sad, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart, how can Zhong Gongzi watch it. ”

Ding Quan's words really made Zhong Ling's facial expression fluctuate.

The emperor saw that Zhong Ling was also a master who eats soft rather than hard, so he took the opportunity to sigh and said: "What Gonggong Ding said is very true, I also know that you are ...... to Xiao Jiu But I am also in a dilemma, how do you let me make a choice, how to face my mother. After speaking, he walked up to Zhong Ling and stretched out his hand to help him get up.

"You kid, a talent, good looks, good family background, I really like it, no matter if you are with ...... Xiao Jiu is still thirteen, I don't object, but ...... Sometimes emotional matters can be reluctant, for example, if you marry thirteen, you are the brother-in-law of me and Xiaojiu, and you are still a good family. The emperor's words carried a false sensationalism, and Zhong Ling naturally understood it.

"That's different!"

Zhong Ling's eyes were red, and she slowly raised her head and looked at the emperor: "If the ninth prince marries Gao Lan, Gao Lan is the emperor's younger brother and sister, and you are also a family with the emperor, do you think it can be the same, the emperor?" ”

“……”

The emperor was speechless in an instant, as if he had eaten a fly, uncomfortable but unable to say a word.

Ding Quan's face was gloomy, and he shrank aside, noncommittal.

Gao Lan, who suddenly talked about it, suddenly made Zhong Ling's heart suddenly rise up temporarily, the corners of his mouth curved, and then he bowed his head and said: "Just now, Gonggong Ding said that everything is easy to discuss, then Zhong Ling also took a step back, if the emperor has to let me marry the thirteenth princess, it will ...... No, no, no. ”

The fly that the emperor was stuck in his throat disappeared in an instant, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"I hope that the emperor will also promise Weichen one thing." Zhong Ling seemed to have irrepressible pride in her words.

The emperor thought that he would not say one thing, and I would also promise you ten pieces, so he said briskly: "You say." ”

Zhong Ling began to tell with emotion: "I know that my brother has been worried about the affairs of the Seventh Prince, he owed the Seventh Prince when he was young, so this has always been a knot in his heart, if the emperor agrees to release the Seventh Prince, but my brother's heart knot, I should thank the emperor and marry the thirteenth princess." ”

The emperor was stunned, clenched his fist behind his back, and his voice suddenly became cold: "The matter of Prince Nanrong is very important, you go down first, I have to think about it." ”

Zhong Ling calmly got up and retreated.

As soon as he left, the emperor flicked his long sleeves and snorted softly: "I really underestimated this Zhong Ling!" With so many eyes, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the simple thirteenth sister to him! ”

Ding Quan, who was standing on the side, must have guessed Zhong Ling's intention: on the surface, it seemed that he was trying to make a knot for Xiao Jiu, but in fact, he was messing with the emperor's heart knot......

So at this time, Ding Quan was stunned and speechless.

The emperor then scolded: "He obviously knows that Lao Qi is a card I use to exchange for Gao Lan, and he actually came to test my mind, he wants to see if I will give up Gao Lan for the sake of Thirteen, or ask for Gao Lan regardless of Thirteen!" Ha ha! Good for you, cunning Zhong Ling! This is the same as the art of war that General Zhong Lao learned to deal with me! ”

Ding Quan opened his mouth, but never said a word.

The white at the door was as light and anxious as an ant on a hot pot, constantly looking in, but because the door was heavily guarded, he couldn't see anything.

I had to muttered to myself: "How is this good, Zhong Ling's temper, if he provokes the emperor's brother, he will be killed!" This Qi Huan hasn't been rescued yet, so he won't catch another Zhong Ling, but it will kill me. ”

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a red figure float out.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly rushed over, grabbed his arm, opened his eyes and said nervously: "Zhong Ling, are you okay?" After asking, he swallowed his saliva and waited for his answer.

Zhong Ling said while walking quickly with a gloomy face: "Something! ”

Bai Qingqing's heart tightened, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What's the situation, what did you say inside?" What is the royal brother going to do to you? ”

Zhong Ling continued to walk quickly with a gloomy face: "Alas, there is nothing more to say. Brother, Zhong Ling is afraid that it will be ......" After speaking, she showed a pitiful expression.

At this time, Bai Qingqing's face turned pale, and he said with infinite remorse: "Don't let you contradict the imperial brother, why are you disobedient!" You don't want to die! ”

Zhong Ling turned her face, her voice was soft but extremely firm: "I want my brother, don't die!" My brother is my life! ”

Bai Qingqing heard him say so resolutely, his heart suddenly moved, and then his eyes shone with a layer of crystal from the bottom, sparkling.

Zhong Ling saw this subtle emotion clearly, and her heart was stirred, and she was about to move forward to soothe.

saw Bai Qingqing turn sideways to avoid him, and threw down a crying sentence in a low voice: "I'm sorry...... It's useless for me, and no one can protect ......."

With that, he walked away quickly.

Zhong Ling trembled in her heart when she heard this, and behind her, she called out with a mournful voice: "Brother......"

Bai ran back to the palace in a light wind.

He sat by the lake, his back extremely lonely, silent.

Zhong Ling rushed over, saw that he was there, breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly sat beside him.
