Chapter 210: The Calm Before the Storm
Murong Xiao spread his hands at Xu Jingsheng, looking like he was giving up on himself, obviously planning to give up.
Seeing this, Xu Jingsheng couldn't help but say coldly: "Is the Second Highness really stupid or fake, if those ministers who support the Second Highness wait for other princes to take the throne in the future, how can they have a good life?" Therefore, there will definitely be some of them who are willing to make a desperate bet to help the Second Highness, and the Second Highness only needs to find out these people, and we will arrange the rest of the rest at that time. ”
Xu Jingsheng's words made Murong Xiao's dull eyes suddenly light up again, "As long as I find these ministers, can you help me?" What's your plan? ”
"This is not something that His Royal Highness should know." Xu Jingsheng did not answer Murong Xiao's question, but said coldly: "Second Highness only needs to do what I have to explain, don't ask too much about other things that shouldn't be asked, knowing too much is not good for Second Highness." ”
Xu Jingsheng's attitude of no one in his eyes made Murong Xiao a little unhappy, but thinking that he still had to rely on the person in front of him to turn over, he had to swallow his anger and said: "Then how do you guarantee that after I help you achieve your goal, you won't kill me?" ”
"We can't eat Rongguo in one breath." As if he had expected Murong Xiao to ask this question, Xu Jingsheng replied without thinking: "Our troops are limited, and the war ahead has already consumed our huge energy, and your third prince of Rongguo is also a person, it is not easy for us to take Rongguo, so after you support the Second Highness, we will retreat in front, but we need the Second Highness to cede a few cities as compensation, I don't know what the Second Highness thinks?" ”
Does he still have the capital to say 'no' now? As long as he can regain his glory and wealth, he is willing to do anything!
"Of course, that's as it should be!" A flattering smile immediately appeared on Murong Xiao's face.
Xu Jingsheng turned around and covered the disdain on his face, "Then please ask Your Highness Second to come with me, and I will arrange for someone to send Your Highness Second to the city tomorrow." ”
……
Lin Yingxue's eyelids have been jumping since morning, and it feels like something big is going to happen.
"I see, it's not that something big is going to happen, but that the young lady stays at home every day and doesn't go out, and she can't even look at her eyelids and wants to protest." Di'er pouted and looked at Lin Yingxue, who had a serious face, and said seriously.
Lin Yingxue was originally a little uneasy in her heart, but after hearing Di'er's words, she couldn't help laughing, "You are a clever ghost, if you want to go to the street to play, just say it, why bother talking about my eyelids!" ”
"Not really!" Di'er, who was pierced in her heart, didn't blush, but pulled out another shield, "It's Po who wants to go out!" I've been in the Imperial City for so long, and Miss hasn't taken Po out to play! ”
Ah Bao, who was eating with his head down, heard someone mention him, and he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Di'er, his eyes were very innocent.
Although she knew that Di'er was deliberately making excuses, Lin Yingxue thought about it carefully, and since she brought Ah Bao over, it seemed that she had really not taken Ah Bao to the imperial city to see it, so she couldn't help but smile and touched Ah Bao's head, and said softly: "Okay, anyway, it's okay today, so I'll take you out to have fun." ”
"Wow, our young lady is really the best young lady in the world!" Di'er heard Lin Yingxue say this, and suddenly blossomed, and although Ah Bao on the side hadn't figured out what was going on, he still grinned - after staying in the Lin family for so long, Ah Bao was already much more cheerful than before.
Lin Yingxue has always been a master who does what he says, and after breakfast, Lin Yingxue took Di'er and Ah Bao to the street, and Lin Yingxue regretted it a little when she went to the street - Ah Bao is still young, although he feels novel about some things in the imperial city, but after all, he is naturally introverted, so he is not making trouble.
But he met Di'er, a childlike sister, who pulled him to play here and that along the way, the two children had a lot of fun, Lin Yingxue followed behind, and he couldn't wait to tie the two of them up with a rope.
"How about it, I've almost played everything I should buy and play, why don't we go home?" After shopping for an afternoon, Lin Yingxue only felt that the two in front of her were the masters, and she was just a little girl who followed and took things.
And Di'er also unceremoniously put forward her final request, "Miss, the slave maid still wants to eat the wontons at the city gate, can we go back after eating the wontons of that family?" ”
looked at Di'er's expectant gaze, and then remembered the taste of the wontons at the city gate...... Mainly remembered the taste of the ravioli, Lin Yingxue reluctantly agreed, "Let's go." ”
The three of them walked to a stall selling wontons at the gate of the city and sat down, "Boss, come here for three bowls of big wontons!" Two bowls without coriander, one bowl without green onions! ”
After the flute roared, the three of them began to wait quietly, and while they were waiting, two caravans were entering the city.
In this time of war, all the people who enter the city are extremely strict. Lin Yingxue glanced at the two caravans without incident, but at this glance, she happened to see someone whispering something in the ear of the soldier who was about to come forward to check, and then the soldier just checked it hastily and let the two caravans go.
It seems that these two caravans have some strength, and they can even get through the guards, but I don't know what unsightly things this caravan sells, and they still need to buy the guards to pass the level.
"Two girls, your wontons are ready." Just thinking about it, the amiable boss brought the wontons.
Lin Yingxue was attracted by the wontons, so she temporarily put this doubt behind her.
A few days later, Lin Yingling wore the jewelry that Murong Xun gave her to show off in front of Lin Yingxue, so Lin Yingxue couldn't help but think of the two caravans again.
"Miaoshu, what's trending in the city lately?" Miaoshu is the most favorite of several maids to dress up, and once a caravan enters the city, there will always be a new wave of fashion craze in the city, during this time, the ladies of every household must be wearing the same jewelry and clothes, so this kind of thing asks Miaoshu, Miaoshu must know the door.
It's just that to Lin Yingxue's expectations, Miaoshu didn't know anything about this matter at all, "No, what is popular in the city now is still new from before, and nothing new has come out for a long time...... Why did the young lady suddenly become interested in such a thing? ”
Lin Yingxue had never cared about these things before, so for Lin Yingxue's sudden question, Miaoshu seemed very puzzled.
"It's nothing, just ask casually......" After Lin Yingxue listened to Miaoshu's words, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, so she only prevaricated Miaoshu and let Miaoshu retreat.
In the middle of the afternoon, the more Lin Yingxue thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she simply asked Leng Yue to send a message to Linzhi and asked him to keep an eye on these two caravans to see what the purpose of these two caravans was.
Originally, this was just a small suspicion on Lin Yingxue's part, so when Lin Zhi really came with the news that there was really something wrong with these two caravans, Lin Yingxue still couldn't believe it.
"Tell me more about what's going on." Lin Yingxue began to get nervous.
Lin Zhi also replied with a serious face: "These two caravans are coming from the Hunan country, and these people have been stepping on the spot near the military defense camp recently, although the subordinates have not found out what is in those boxes, but eighty percent of those things should be weapons." ”
A large number of men and horses from Hunan entered the city, and they also brought weapons...... Lin Yingxue didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Seeing that Lin Yingxue didn't answer for a long time, he couldn't help but speak a little anxiously: "According to the investigation of his subordinates these days, these people should have an internal response in the city. They are well aware of the deployment of the city, and they have planted men in various strongholds, and once something happens to the palace, the military defense battalion and others will definitely not be able to save them, so do we have to take action? ”
The purpose of these people is already obvious, and if they don't act sooner, it may be too late by the time these people actually do it...... Lin Yingxue originally thought the same way, but she changed her mind after thinking about it carefully.
"We won't do it for the time being, you send someone to closely monitor their movements, once they are ready to do it, come and tell me immediately, and also, in the past few days, gather all the palace guards of the Three Princes' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, and then find a group of reliable martial artists outside to wait, and when something happens, we must ensure that these people can enter the palace immediately."
Lin Yingxue's instructions made Lin Yi confused, but he adhered to the principle of not saying much and not asking too much, so Lin Zhi still went down to arrange without asking anything.
In the next few days, Lin Yingxue kept herself locked in the room and closed the door, just when Di'er thought that her young lady was stimulated by something, Lin Yingxue suddenly received a message from Linzhi - there was movement over there.
After getting the news, Lin Yingxue sent the news to the queen that she was going to enter the palace, and at the same time hurried towards the palace with Leng Yue.
"Yingxue, you're here." The unaware queen was very happy about Lin Yingxue's arrival, not only personally welcomed Lin Yingxue into the palace, but also kindly pulled Lin Yingxue to sit down, "Yingxue, it's rare for you to enter the palace once, stay in the palace these days, have fun for a few days and then go back." ”
It's still a question whether she can spend tonight safely, Lin Yingxue thought secretly in her heart, but she just smiled on her face: "Niangniang has been in good health recently, is there any recurrence of head disease?" ”
"Alas, the head disease in this palace is all old problems, sometimes good and sometimes bad, I have experienced so many things these days, and I want to open it, and the head disease is not so serious because of this." As the queen spoke, she patted the back of Lin Yingxue's hand with emotion and said, "This is all thanks to Yingxue, otherwise this palace may still be locked up in this Mingyue Palace now...... and Feng'er's side, although the emperor has no intention of releasing people, but when Feng'er is mentioned, the emperor is not so angry, and the palace will find an opportunity to intercede in the future to let the emperor release Feng'er......"
The queen chattered with Lin Yingxue, but Lin Yingxue's heart was outside, and she waited until the queen finally stopped talking, and then Lin Yingxue spoke: "I don't know how the emperor is doing recently?" Can the queen take Yingxue over to see the emperor. ”
