CHAPTER XXXVIII
"Please ask my father-in-law to lead the way." Ling Yueyan lifted the sedan curtain, she came to the harem, this place is very close to the cold palace, the eunuch said that Tian Guiren wanted to see her, Tian Guiren was the concubine Jun Ce married before, if he was favored, how could he live here, but if he was not favored, how could he call the eunuch next to Jun Ce.
If she guessed correctly, it was Junce who wanted to see her.
On weekdays, the places where the palace maids often hang out, but there is not even a cat at this time, Ling Yueyan is a little stunned, when she arrives in such a place, it is really called that the sky should not be called the earth, she touched the sword on her waist, and when she entered the palace, she did not get off the sedan chair, did not search her body, and the sword was still there.
The eunuch sent her to the door and left, leaving the palace, listening to the name is a very sad palace, Jun Ce stood in the courtyard, dressed in bright yellow clothes with his back to her.
"See the Emperor."
Ling Yueyan had always maintained a saluting posture, Jun Ce didn't move or speak, she suddenly remembered that Ling Xian entered the palace one step ahead of her, Jun Ce was here, then Ling Xian must still be waiting somewhere, the frontier matter was so anxious, but Jun Ce could still be so calm.
"What did Spruce say before he died?"
Ling Yueyan didn't expect Jun Ce to ask this, and thought for a long time: "She said that she shouldn't go down the mountain." ”
"Little liar." Jun Ce turned around, a face that couldn't see joy and anger, as if he hadn't seen him for a few months, Jun Ce was even more annoying than he had been at the winter banquet before, he didn't deserve to mention spruce.
"Get up." Jun Ce let Ling Yueyan get up, this was the first time Ling Yueyan looked at his face seriously, in fact, his appearance was also excellent, but those cold and arrogant eyes were bottomless.
He stood on the edge of the dry pond with his hands in his hands, Ling Yueyan had never come in, but he knew that next to it was the cold palace, this pond was connected to the cold palace, Jun Ce seemed to be looking at the pool, and it was like looking at the corpses that he had killed.
If she could, she really wanted to ask the man in front of her, stepping on the blood of so many people to sit on this throne, whether there would be unjust souls asking for their lives at night.
"Xiao Fu broke his leg, and he won't be able to walk normally in the future, your heart is really ruthless." Jun Ce said lightly.
Who is ruthless? Ling Yueyan stood up straight and didn't answer, obviously it was just a trap, but he really beat people into cripples and made her take the blame.
Jun Ce turned around and walked a few steps towards her, Ling Yueyan retreated, such a move seemed to displease him, he stopped and didn't move, his eyes were sharp: "You are the most uninteresting woman I have ever seen." ”
"The emperor forgives the sins." Ling Yueyan knelt on the ground and saluted, Jun Ce wanted to help, but his outstretched hand stopped in the air, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ling Yueyan thought that he would talk about marriage, at least mention something, but he didn't mention anything, and said before leaving: "You are indeed smart, but sometimes you are smart and mistaken by smart, you know that I can use the side princess to make a scene, but I never thought that Le'er was my favorite concubine, how dare I betray me for the position of the queen." ”
After saying that, he left with his hands in his hands, Ling Yueyan knelt on the ground, his face was ugly, what did he mean by this? Concubine Le's words are still vivid, and what he can't get will be destroyed.
Ling Yueyan was a little panicked, got up and walked out, but the palace door was suddenly closed, and the eunuch who had sent her before said while locking it outside: "Miss Ling is wronged to stay here for the time being." ”
"What do you mean?" Ling Yueyan slammed the door hard, but it was a heavy lock, and it was difficult to open it with brute force, she was completely panicked, "I want to see Concubine Le, do you hear, I want Concubine Le in the palace." ”
No one responds to her anymore, the palace walls are not high, but Jun Ce dares to lock her up here, he must have a light skill to guard against her, but no matter what, he has to try, just about to jump, a puff of smoke drifted by, no matter how fast she reacted, she couldn't resist this sudden attack, it was a smoke mixed with cartilage.
At this time, don't talk about light work, even if you try a little hard, what does Junce want to do, is it possible to force her to comply in this way.
It's been two days, except for someone who regularly delivers food, she seems to feel the taste of a cold palace, I don't know if they are crazy outside in the small box, whether Ling Xian has sent troops to support her father, and Brother Ye Zheng, she didn't go to the fishing appointment, will Brother Ye Zheng be angry.
was locked up for three days, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, the lock was finally opened, and Concubine Le walked in with a plate of good dishes.
Ling Yueyan faintly felt that something was wrong, this kind of scene was very similar to the last meal before death.
Concubine Le was dressed in a gorgeous robe, and she was not as out of favor as the outside world said, she watched Concubine Le pour wine at the table, and asked in her mouth, "When will you let me out." ”
Concubine Le's hand paused for pouring the wine, her expression was not good, and after filling the wine glass, she sat down and drank a glass herself, as if she was proving to Ling Yueyan that it was not poisonous.
She said: "Four days ago, Ling Xian knelt in Chaoyang Palace, asking the emperor to send troops to help the frontier, and the emperor approved it after consulting with the ministers, but when he sent troops the day before yesterday, someone sent a secret letter to the emperor, saying that General Ling Mu colluded with the enemy country and wanted to obtain military power and gold and silver from it. ”
"Nonsense!" Ling Yueyan said excitedly, he had no strength on his body and looked very imposing.
Concubine Le poured a glass of wine into the empty wine glass and handed it to Ling Yueyan, Ling Yueyan looked at it coldly, but she didn't answer, she held the sword on her waist in her hand, thinking about whether Jun Ce would let her go if she desperately fought to hold Concubine Le hostage.
Concubine Le saw that Ling Yueyan didn't answer, so she raised her head and drank again, "What you said that day was half-true and half-false, and you believed in the falsehood, but you didn't listen to a word of it; I told you to run away because I really wanted you to escape. ”
"Now that your brother has been imprisoned, the emperor has pardoned the eldest prince and asked him to make up for his mistakes, and he has taken Xiao Fu to the border to quell the rebellion yesterday."
Ling Yueyan's mind turned quickly, there was no need for Concubine Le to tell lies at this time, Jun Ce asked the eldest prince and Xiao Fu to go, the eldest prince had been locked up in prison for a long time, and Xiao Fu broke her leg again, which was obviously a conspiracy.
She said angrily: "With just one secret letter, does he dare to kill the founding general? It is impossible for my father to collude with the enemy country, and it is impossible for him to betray the country of Chaojia! ”
I remember that my father was studying the border map at night before going to the frontier, this was a conspiracy, Junce's conspiracy, she had to go out, and without hesitation, she pulled out the short sword on her waist.
"Take me out." She pressed her short sword at Concubine Le's neck.
Concubine Le didn't show the slightest fear, and even laughed softly: "Sister, don't worry, I'm here to let you out today." ”
Ling Yueyan didn't believe it, he felt tired holding the sword because he couldn't make it hard, and Concubine Le handed over another glass of wine: "The antidote to cartilage, do you want to drink it?" ”
She didn't hesitate for half a minute, took it and raised her head to drink, and after drinking it for a while, she really recovered, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Concubine Le: "If you want to turn back, it's too late, he never forgives betrayals." ”
Ling Yueyan stopped, turned around and said, "I will never marry that monster of Jun Ce, and besides, I am not even a monarch and a minister with him, so how can I betray him!" "Even after Spruce's death, she already denied the emperor in her heart.
Concubine Le's face was momentarily moved, she poured another glass of wine into the empty wine glass, took out a packet of medicinal powder from under the food box in front of Ling Yueyan, and sprinkled it into the wine, "At the risk of being discovered by him, for the sake of you and I being women, I will give you a choice." ”
Ling Yueyan stood in place, not moving for half a step, Concubine Le got up and brought the wine to her: "After drinking this wine, she is still the martyr of the Ling family; Out of the palace, he is a traitor and thief that everyone shouts and beats. ”
Ling Yueyan took the wine from Concubine Le's hand and threw the wine glass on the ground with the strongest force, splashing Concubine Le's gorgeous dress.
She pressed the mechanism on the sword, and the short sword turned into a long sword, looking at Concubine Le's eyes unwaveringly: "I want to leave the palace, traitor and thief, I don't recognize it!" ”
