Chapter 20 The Queen Mother Asks for Guilt
It was late at night, the palace door had already been locked, and Gonggong Wu entered the palace with the queen mother's token. After entering the palace gate, she abandoned the carriage and walked to Shengning Palace, Ling Luodu walked in the silent palace alley, Wu Gonggong followed behind her, took a step closer, and said in a low voice: "Girl, is the war master okay?" ”
"My father-in-law is in the palace, how can he care about things outside the palace?" For the people in the palace, Ling Luo still maintained great vigilance, especially the people around the Queen Mother.
"Our family was originally on an errand in front of the princess of war, and Concubine Yue entrusted our family to serve the prince on her deathbed."
"Really? How is the king of war, the father-in-law will go to the palace of the king of war to see. Ling Luo said coldly, then quickened his pace and distanced himself from him.
All the way to the Queen Mother's Shengning Palace without saying a word, the Shengning Palace had already turned off the lights, and the little eunuch on duty saw Gonggong Wu coming back, and hurriedly greeted him.
"The slave has seen Gonggong Wu, and the Queen Mother is already resting. The Queen Mother said that she asked Miss Ling to wait outside the palace for summons. ”
When Ling Luo heard this, his eyes were full of coldness. It's freezing this day, let her wait for a night, this is a different way to punish her.
"Girl, I've wronged you here." Naturally, Gonggong Wu didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order, so he just asked Ling Luo to prepare a hand heater and go down to rest.
It was night, it was snowing heavily, and Ling Luo stood still in the courtyard for half a minute, like a sculpture.
When the palace maid got up, the snow stopped, and the snowdrifts outside the palace were so thick that you couldn't see your shoes when you stepped down. Ling Luo has become a snowman, and the stove in his arms has long been cold.
The queen mother finished breakfast, and the ladies of the palace came one after another to say goodbye, and left one after another, tossing until mid-noon before summoning Ling Luo.
Ling Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and he let the palace maid sweep away the snow on her body.
"The girl is soaking wet, but is it okay?" The little palace maid who warmed the stove for her last night said softly, the palace methods are cruel, and this is nothing.
"No problem!" Ling Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and she said coldly, this bit of wind and snow is nothing to her, in her previous life, she experienced in the Demon Domain a thousand times more cruel than this. It's just that she remembered today's events.
"Girl, please come with the slave maid." The palace maid didn't say much, and led Ling into the palace.
The Queen Mother sat in the first place, wrapped in a dark purple palace dress, embroidered with white cranes with silk threads, wearing purple plum blossom embroidered shoes, combing delicate hair buns, and an amethyst phoenix hairpin inserted between the buns, matching purple headdresses inlaid with the entire bun. The skin is coated with a light layer of rouge, which is pleasing to the eye and does not feel too charming. Raising his eyes, the royal unique royal momentum was revealed.
"The courtiers are falling, meet the Queen Mother." Although Ling Luo was born arrogant, he also understood the way of forbearance.
"It's so Lingluo, you dare to disdain the will of your family, and you came so late." The Queen Mother threw away the tea bowl in her hand with a bang and scolded in a deep voice.
"The courtiers waited outside the palace last night, and the queen mother was not allowed to summon the courtiers." Although Ling Luo barely felt his feet, he still knelt straight.
"Ling Luo, don't think that the Ling family can win over a few ministers without taking the royal family seriously." Ling Luo's arrogance and arrogance angered the Queen Mother all of a sudden, and she was angry when she remembered that she had retreated to the Imperial Forest Army yesterday.
Ling Hanran didn't take her too seriously, and yesterday's incident also made her understand that Ling Hanran's power in the court had threatened the royal family. Ling Hanran had to be prevented, he had to get rid of it, even if he couldn't get rid of it, he should be beaten and beaten, and Ling Luo was the hammer that beat Ling Hanran.
"The courtiers are just women and children, and they don't understand the affairs of the court, if the queen mother is for this, she will summon her father to come." Ling Luo's eyes were rolling, and her voice was cold, this queen mother was still afraid of Ling Hanran's power, and she was just embarrassed today, and she definitely wouldn't take her life.
As long as she can save her life, it is not a matter of being tortured, but she will not suffer this crime in vain. She will repay her eyes and return it to the Queen Mother in the future.
"Sure enough, it's a sharp-toothed girl, you despise the imperial power and the mourning family so much, it's not too much to kill you. Come on, slap your mouth. ”
"The courtiers just tell the truth, how can they despise?"
"Jianxi, palm mouth."
Jianxi answered, came to Ling Luo, raised his hand and gave Ling Luo a slap, Ling Luo's face was cold, and there was no emotion on his face.
"In front of the Queen Mother, how can you allow a little minister's daughter to be presumptuous." Jianxi's words fell and another slap fell.
"Ling Luo, it's okay for Ling Shou's assistant goddaughter, the queen mother rewarded two slaps for education on behalf of the queen mother, and it is also a great gift, and I am not grateful." Gonggong Wu said in a hanging voice, and then bent down to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, dissipate your anger." ”
"That's it!" The Queen Mother naturally knew the meaning of Gonggong Wu's words, so she waved her hand and asked Jianxi to stop.
"Ling Luo, yesterday you beat the little prince of Prince Gong's mansion on the street, can you be guilty?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, what is the crime of the courtier?" Ling Luo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly.
"The mourning family asked you, but you lifted the carriage of the little prince and beat people."
"Yes!"
"Come on, take the person down, put them in the prison and send them down." The Queen Mother gave Ling Hanran a thin face, and she would not ask for Ling Luo's life, but this person would have to take off a layer of skin if he entered the prison without dying.
"I don't know which villain gave slander to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother only knew that the courtiers beat the little prince, but I don't know why the courtiers beat them." Ling Luo was escorted left and right by two eunuchs, but his face did not show any panic, but he said indifferently.
"Death is on the verge of death, and he still talks and tries to quibble. In the prison, do you still have a hard mouth? Hold it down. Ling Luo's indifference angered the Queen Mother and touched her majesty.
"The Queen Mother, as a model of women in a country, usually connived at the little prince of Prince Gong's mansion to bully men and women, and did whatever she wanted. Ling Luo snorted coldly and said, not saving any face for the Queen Mother at all.
"Presumptuous! Ling Luo, the Queen Mother is a thin one. When Gonggong Wu heard this, he shook off the dust, and scolded sharply in his throat Then he bent down and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, this woman is stubborn, it is better to hand it over to the Criminal Department to tell the emperor to decide." ”
"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and this matter is not a state affair, so why add trouble to the emperor." The Queen Mother is also a high-ranking person, angry but calm, her face is calm, and she can't see any emotions.
"The name of the queen's virtue is well known, and the management of this matter is the best, the queen mother gives Buddhist scriptures all day long, how can she let such a mundane world disturb the tranquility, it is better to hand it over to the queen for disposal." Gonggong Wu wanted to protect Ling Luo, all for what Mama Zhuang said, Ling Luo could heal the War King.
"The queen is from the Ling Mansion, and she is her aunt, how can she not avoid suspicion? Xiao Wuzi, today you will break the sky, and the mourning family will also put her in prison. "The Queen Mother is very important to Gonggong Wu, even if he is a little different today, she has never doubted his intentions.
The Queen Mother slapped her hands and said sharply: "Don't bet on it yet"
