"Phew—finally out of this ghost forest! When I arrived at Ye Guo immediately, I had to fill my stomach. "Ling Lin has endured four months of savage life, and he has already made a plan to eat, drink and have fun in Ye Country.

The Eastern Continent is divided into three large countries, Ye and Wuchang, and a number of small countries that depend on large countries. The selection of people by the Zhonglu family is a major matter, but it cannot be made beyond the royal family, not to mention that the Donglu family simply cannot find a large enough venue. Therefore, whenever the Zhonglu family chooses a person, the Donglu family will report to the royal family, and the three countries will compete first, and the royal family of the winning country will preside over the operation. Of course, it is impossible to do it for you for free, so there is an unwritten rule that the country that holds the tryout will generally have one or two talented princes and princesses or children of the family to go to the Middle Continent together. So all three countries are competing hard.

And this time, Ye Guo won the civil and military competition of the Three Kingdoms, and the selection match of the Eastern Continent was held in the Ye Kingdom Royal Martial Arts Arena.

A middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked up: "Is it Young Master Ling?" Below is the Ye Guo Rite Department Shangshu An Shouye, His Majesty sent me to pick you up. Please get on the bus. ”

——

Emperor Ye did not arrange Ling Xiaoyao and his party in the post house, but directly connected to the Zhaohua Hall in the palace, which shows that Emperor Ye attaches great importance to this selection competition.

"Young Master Ling, tonight the emperor will hold a banquet in Huayan Palace to wash the dust for you." As soon as Ling Xiaoyao sat down, Emperor Ye sent a young eunuch to pass the word.

Ling Xiao didn't move, and just as the little eunuch was nervously preparing to go back, he heard a voice behind him: "Wait, take me to the cold palace." ”

"This ...... The cold palace is very yin, and it belongs to the category of the harem, you ......"

Ling Xiaoyao glanced at him coldly, and the little eunuch immediately changed his words: "Please come here." ”

The cold palace is indeed very yin, with dilapidated palace walls, bleak plants, and cold winds. For some reason, the cold palace is a little colder than other palaces. The little eunuch pushed open the mottled door: "Young Master Ling, this is it." ”

Xiao Liang in the cold palace is even worse than outside the palace. The floor tiles were sparse and sparsely moved to a corner, and the ground was sorted out into a piece of land with rows of wild vegetables neatly planted on it. The rest of the place was cleaned up. It is in this environment that it can also be seen that the only person who lives in the cold palace is a positive and optimistic person who pays attention to the quality of life.

At that moment, a woman who looked to be about fifty years old came out of the room. A simple long wooden hairpin on her head pulled up all the silver threads, her face was vicissitudes but did not look old, and a simple coarse linen dress could not hide her gentleness and tenacity, and she must have been a beauty with an extraordinary temperament when she was young.

"What's the matter?" The former queen Si Rui was slightly stunned when she saw that two strangers suddenly appeared in this cold palace.

"I'm Ling Xiaoyao, Lang Huan asked me to take you back to Zhonglu." Ling Xiaoyao's voice was a little softer.

In an instant, the peaceful aura on the woman's body disappeared, and she became excited, with tears in her eyes: "You are Ling Xiaoyao?" If you are really a good boy, Lang Huan will be happy with you......" Although Emperor Ye imprisoned the former Empress Si Rui in the cold palace, he did not cut off her use and news. It was the news of these daughters and granddaughters in Zhonglu that sustained her to spend one long and icy night after another in the cold palace.

"That'...... You guys come in first, right? ”

"No need, you shouldn't have anything to clean up here, just follow me now and stay in Zhaohua Hall first."

"Ah...... Oh good. Si Rui saw that Ling Xiaoyao was a decisive and sharp person, so he didn't insist.

…… In the main room of Zhaohua Palace, a man dressed in black respectfully knelt on one knee, and it was Xiangyue who arrived one step earlier. It's just that there is no smile on his face, there is only endless seriousness.
