Chapter 36: The Beginning of the War (Part II)

After all, a kid who didn't know where to come out of nowhere, snatched away his sister who he had always regarded as a baby, and he was really unhappy as a brother.

It's like his attitude towards Apo.

Here in the Western Fan Kingdom, Prince Han and the Emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom are negotiating some specific matters.

At the beginning, Wei Lan suddenly took a large part of the army from the eastern border country and quickly occupied the area east of the Beiao country, relying on Wei Lan's own special identity.

If Madame Lin herself remembered correctly, Ah Pu also clearly explained this to her at that time, telling her Wei Lan's true background.

Moreover, according to their clues and reasoning, if Wei Lan hadn't been found back by the people of the Donglin Kingdom and his identity was recognized, then it would be impossible for him to call on so many forces of the Donglin army at that time.

And judging from the movements of several people from the Donglin Kingdom that they controlled, the attitude of the Donglin Kingdom towards Wei Lan at that time was very respectful, and it was completely impossible to see that Wei Lan's original identity at that time was a person from the Beiao Kingdom.

But now, Wei Lan actually came to Mrs. Lin's place at such a time, and told them that at this time, he was recalled by Donglin Kingdom because of his identity.

Mrs. Lynn secretly took the matter to heart, thinking to see if she could find out something.

Now that the Eastern Rim Country was no longer as mysterious as it used to be, she had a way to find something out of the giant shell of the sea far from land.

Wei Lan didn't stay with Lady Lin for long and left.

As mysterious as he came, when he left, there was no telling when he left or how he left.

However, Wei Lan stayed for a while before leaving Mrs. Lin's banquet to appease the ladies and sisters, feeling that she seemed to have forgotten to pass on some news to Mrs. Lin.

However, he thought about the people of the Western Fan Kingdom who had been persecuted very tightly and surprised him recently, Wei Lan decided to leave just now, and he wouldn't care about so many things, anyway, whether it was the emperor of the Western Fan Kingdom or the prince of the Southern Imperial Kingdom who was known as the "cold-faced Yama King", they were not simple people.

Even if he doesn't say it, those two people will find out sooner or later.

So, Wei Lan left with peace of mind.

Mrs. Lin didn't realize it at this time, she just missed the clue about the disappearance of the envoy of the Xifan Kingdom that everyone paid attention to some time ago, and she was still thinking about what the Donglin Kingdom was trying to find Wei Lan back at this time.

While she sent someone to continue to pay attention to Wei Lan, she also found someone to investigate the news on the eastern Linguo side.

She always felt that Wei Lan must have come here to say these words to her for some purpose, but she couldn't tell now.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh faintly, it would be good if Ah Pu was here at this time, and I don't know when Ah Pu will be able to come back from Nanyuguo.

Ah Pu, who was worried about Mrs. Lin, was now lazily nesting in the Changxin Hall with Sima Jingling, and he didn't go out or see guests, which seemed to be really out of place with the somewhat tense atmosphere around him.

Sima Jingling really didn't want to care about some mundane things that happened recently, and strictly speaking, there was nothing outside of Sima Jingling's control.

As for Ah Pu, he should have been entangled in a lot of things, and he should even leave the Southern Imperial Kingdom and return to the Northern Proud Country to take charge.

But now not only did he not move, but he didn't seem to want to do things at all, because he really enjoyed the feeling of being so sticky with Sima Jingling.

Besides, it's not like Apo hasn't done nothing.

For example, the news he passed on to Beiao's side, and for example, he has been quietly spreading some rumors about the orphan that the Lord of the Donglin Kingdom has been looking for, and there may be problems with his life experience.

However, once Apo passed on this news, it would mean that Apo would not be able to stay by Sima Jingling's side in the Southern Imperial Kingdom for a few days.

So, of course, I can stay by Sima Jingling's side for as long as I have my current time.

Thinking about this, Ah Gui's eyes kept on Sima Jingling's body, and there was no hint of restraint at all.

Sima Jingling naturally noticed Ah Pu's burning gaze.

She turned her head slightly to look at Apu, and found that although Apu was looking at her, she was obviously thinking about something else.

So Sima Jingling's eyes rolled, smiled lightly, and slowly said to Ah Pu: "Who is so soulless, which beauty is you thinking about in your heart?" ”

Ah Pu was called back to his senses by Sima Jingling's voice, and after hearing Sima Jingling's words, he smiled lightly and replied:

"Who else can hold my heart but this stunning beauty in front of me? I'm just feeling reluctant. ”

Sima Jingling saw the gloom that flashed in Ah Pu's eyes, and rarely comforted Ah Pu,

"Since you are reluctant, you should actually finish what you need to do quickly, so that you can return to the side of the palace earlier?"

Ah Pu's eyes lit up, as if he had heard some assurance from Sima Jingling's words.

He didn't give Sima Jingling a chance to regret it, and directly made the final conclusion on his own mind.

"Ah Ling, this is what you said, you will not be hungry and will regret it when the time comes. If you regret it, then I will do whatever it takes. ”

Since Sima Jingling said it out of her mouth, she didn't plan to take it back or find any reason to fool her around.

But when she heard Ah Pu say this, she suddenly became a little interested, and she really wanted to hear what kind of means Ah Pu would use for "unscrupulous means".

However, Sima Jingling looked at Ah Pu, whose eyes were shining and full of interest, and decided to talk about it later, so she would make Ah Pu happy for a while.

The good atmosphere between the two of them lasted until the moment Prince Han's personal guards arrived.

When Chun Tao knocked on the door to bring tea and snacks to Sima Jingling and Ah Pu, he also brought the personal guards of Prince Han who came to the palace to find Sima Jingling.

After he saw Sima Jingling, he bowed respectfully to Sima Jingling, and then explained his intention to Sima Jingling.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister is entrusted by Prince Han to report a message to Your Highness, Prince Han said that the whereabouts of the envoys of Xifan are already eyebrows."

"Oh?" Sima Jingling raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her face looked very sincere, "It's worthy of the fifth brother, I already have a clue so quickly." So, he's out of the capital now, isn't he? ”

"Huh?" The guards didn't expect Sima Jingling to directly break Prince Han's whereabouts, but he later thought of the relationship between Sima Jingling and Prince Han, so he didn't feel the need to say anything.

He simply nodded and said to Sima Jingling: "Prince Han, the clue they found is that those envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom did not leave the scope of the Western Fan Kingdom, and now they are leaving the capital for the Western Fan Kingdom with the princess of the Western Fan Kingdom. ”

"That's ......"

Sima Jingling sighed, and then said to Prince Han's personal guards,

"In this case, then please tell the fifth brother, let him rest assured that the matter of the disappearance of the envoy will be completely solved outside, and the problems in the capital will be settled for him.

Just wait for him to return smoothly, and then the palace will come to attend his wedding to the princess of the Western Fan Kingdom. ”

The personal guard responded, but as for whether he dared to pass on the original words to Prince Han like this, it was naturally his own business.

After Sima Jingling asked Chun Tao to send away Prince Han's personal guards, she would no longer be able to steal half a day with Ah Pu.

She glanced at Ah Pu, and Ah Pu stood up very consciously, followed behind Sima Jingling, and walked out of the Changxin Hall together.

At this time, Prince Han found out the information of the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom, and Sima Zhan would not have anything in Tokyo.

Besides, at this time, it is really time to intervene, so that those newcomers who have entered the officialdom later can understand who has the final say in the current Southern Imperial Kingdom.

Sima Jingling ordered Shaofu to fetch her the latest palace clothes, and then asked Chuntao Qiulan and others to serve her to wear them one by one.

Of course, she didn't forget to let Shaofu give Ah Pu, and also took a dress that looked more luxurious and imposing.

After changing her clothes, Sima Jingling was a little sharper and a little less lazy, so that people would unconsciously avoid Sima Jingling's sweeping gaze and surrender to the fierce momentum exuded by Sima Jingling's body.

And Ah Pu also changed the previous appearance of being low and pretentious next to Sima Jingling, but changed to the appearance of Sima Jingling when she saw him for the first time, no, he was more high-spirited and awe-inspiring than at that time, and it looked like he was not a face at all.

Sima Jingling was very satisfied with Apu's appearance, and Apo was also confused by Sima Jingling's way that her heart kept pounding.

It is undeniable that Sima Jingling at this time is really charming, and for Ah Pu, what was so exciting about Sima Jingling at the beginning was that Sima Jingling looked at the world at that time, as if no one was paying attention to it.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they both saw something in each other's admiring eyes, and there was no need to break it at such a time.

Sometimes two people have some little secret that doesn't matter, and it's a very pleasant thing to collect and remember, isn't it?

The sedan chair was already waiting outside.

After Sima Jingling and Ah Pu completely cleaned up, they stepped out of Changle Palace, and under the support of Chun Tao and the footsteps of the Yellow Gate, they boarded the sedan chair and headed in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

At this time, Sima Zhan was on top of the main hall, a little overwhelmed.

After all, although he used strong means to find out and vigorously punish many people who were mixed in his intelligence network, of course, he also cleaned up the people who had problems in the court by the way.

However, Sima Zhan is now punishing so many people with such a large amount of money, which will naturally touch the interests of some forces in the court that have been entrenched for a long time.

If they said that they could sit still at the beginning and let Sima Zhan come casually, then at this point, it would be absolutely impossible to continue to sit down.

After all, at this time, if Sima Zhan was allowed to liquidate again, then their interests would definitely be greatly infringed.

From this point of view, these people will definitely not let Sima Zhan's actions continue smoothly.

Sima Zhan is in a stalemate with these interests, on the one hand, he has the resentment that he can't annihilate them in one fell swoop, and on the other hand, he has the unwillingness to give in, so at this time, an absolute external force is needed to break all this.

And this external force is Sima Jingling.

Sima Jingling entered the main hall, and there was no need to report it.

There was a newly promoted little yellow door who wanted to stop Sima Jingling, but he was immediately stopped by the old little yellow door or the Yellow Gate Order and the like around him.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of these new little yellow doors, the old yellow doors did not give them a clear explanation, but shook their heads at them, signaling them to shut up and watch.

Xiao Huangmen didn't know why, and he was a little frightened that Sima Jingling just went in like this, and he was afraid that Sima Zhan inside would anger them because of this and punish them.

But they waited outside the temple for a long time, but they did not hear the roar from inside the temple or the sound of sending them in to ask for their guilt.

So they were bold enough to sneak a glance into the temple, and then they saw a scene that surprised them to the greatest.

The person who stands in the first leading position is no longer Sima Zhan, but Sima Jingling.

Although Sima Jingling has deliberately lowered Sima Zhan's position, no matter who looks at it, what they see is Sima Jingling, that is to say, Sima Jingling directly controlled the government and mastered the lifeblood of the entire situation at this time.

And Sima Zhan, although his expression looked a little depressed, he was not as angry as he was when he confronted those powerful people just now, it seemed to be a kind of acquiescence and trust.

After Xiao Huangmen glanced at it, he didn't dare to look at it again.

Although they are not as experienced as those old yellow gates, they at least know some things in this palace that everyone knows.

No wonder those experienced old Huangmen just now stopped them and didn't let them care, it turned out that the rumors they heard about Princess Jinning when they entered the palace were true, and the most powerful person in the palace and the most unprovoked person was Princess Sima Jingling of Jinning.

They've seen it now.

As soon as Sima Jingling entered the main hall, the originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down.

Those powerful people were still in front of Sima Zhan, forcing Sima Zhan one by one to make him make concessions, and stop chasing the little tail they showed and continue to bite.

But just when they thought that Sima Zhan might be about to let go, Sima Jingling directly pushed the door in, making them lose their momentum immediately.

Sima Jingling stood on the high platform, looking at these "old acquaintances" in front of her who lowered their heads instantly after seeing her, and couldn't help but smile softly, as if she was greeting these people,

"Uncles and uncles haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of special day is today, why do you all remember to come to this Weiyang Palace and get together?"
