Lin Ruo knew that with Qu Xiaoxiang's intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess that he had deliberately chosen this secluded place and separated the maidservants, so that he could say something that he didn't want others to know.

In fact, Qu Xiaoxiang also had this intention, and when Lin Ruo saw her hesitating, he took the lead in creating an opportunity.

"The county lord of Fengyang has won the award. I have something I want to say to the Fengyang County Lord alone, so I broke them away. ”

Qu Xiaoxiang looked at Lin Ruo calmly, she knew that the other party was not the first to speak if she couldn't hold her breath, but because smart people don't need those polite and redundant excuses to delay time.

"Princess Rong might as well speak up."

"Then I'll say it bluntly, if you make the county lord of Fengyang unhappy, please ask the county lord's subordinates to be merciful."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Lin Ruo looked at Qu Xiaoxiang with blazing eyes, and said with a straight face: "Lord Fengyang, if you want the position of Princess Rong, as long as the prince agrees, I am willing to give it up." Please also ask the lord of the county to raise his noble hand and not to hurt innocent people. ”

Qu Xiaoxiang frowned, she didn't expect that Lin Ruo would be so single-handed.

"Princess Rong, is there any misunderstanding between us? Princess Rong's position, how can I say I want it? Besides, how can you let this princess position if you want to? As for the innocent, it is even more impossible to talk about. Rong ......"

"The county lord is a smart man, and he should know what I am talking about and who I am talking about."

Qu Xiaoxiang looked at Lin Ruoru's torch gaze for a long time before he said, "Red mouth and white teeth, do you have evidence?" ”

Lin Ruo said calmly: "Since I dare to speak directly to the county lord, there is naturally evidence." ”

After that, Lin Ruo took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and unfolded it in front of Qu Xiaoxiang: "The person on this painting is not a stranger to the county lord of Fengyang, right?" ”

Through the faint light of the fire, Qu Xiaoxiang looked at the piece of paper and was stunned. This is painted on her confidant!

The person she brought from Zhennan Houfu was the first time she entered Beijing, because she was in the dark, not to mention Lin Ruo, who had just returned from the north, and the people who visited the Zhennan Hou Mansion in Bian'an City these days may not have seen this person's face!

No, one person has seen it!

Or did she personally arrange for him to meet - the prince of Jingping, Su Muyu!

Everyone in Bian'an City knows that the Marquis of Jingping and the princess Rong in front of him are childhood sweethearts, and they are not against their hearts. Sure enough!

It's just that how does Su Muyu know that the other party is her person?

Qu Xiaoxiang smiled, and there was already a hint of coldness in this smile: "This person is my personal soldier, I don't know when Princess Rong has seen him?" ”

"The person who has seen him is not me, this point, the county lord of Fengyang should know better than me."

Lin Ruo stretched out his hand and brought the lantern in Qu Xiaoxiang's hand closer to him, causing Qu Xiaoxiang to be vigilant. Facing Lin Ruo's calm and cunning gaze, Qu Xiaoxiang immediately fixed his mind, only to find that Lin Ruo's spirit used the candle flame in the lantern to burn the paper portrait to ashes.

Qu Xiaoxiang knew that Fang Cai's reaction had fallen into Lin Ruo's eyes, so he pretended to be calm and said, "So what? is just a pro-soldier, what does Princess Rong want to prove through him? ”

"It's true that a pro-soldier can't prove anything, but if you find a token of 'Yan Lingjun' in the Prince's Mansion, how can you explain it?"

A familiar token was handed to Qu Xiaoxiang, it was indeed the token of the "Yan Lingjun" that was replaced as a fake!

Lin Ruo's face was still a gentle smile, which seemed to be lethal, but it made Qu Xiaoxiang feel a chill down his spine.

A token of "Yan Lingjun", what it means if it appears in the prince's mansion, Qu Xiaoxiang knows very well. At that time, Su Muqing's situation will be reversed, and Concubine Shen's status may be affected, but this is not something that the Fengyang County Lord will consider, what she is most worried about is that this matter will implicate Zhennan Houfu!

Qu Xiaoxiang was thinking about whether to "snatch" the token from Lin Ruo's hand, but unexpectedly, Lin Ruo took the initiative to send the token to her.

"The Duke Mansion of Dian and the Hou Mansion of Zhennan, it is not easy to have today's situation, the Qu family and the 400,000 southern border troops, throwing their heads and spilling blood in exchange for the slow belt and light fur, the frontier is peaceful, and please Fengyang County Lord, think twice."

Qu Xiaoxiang looked at the token in her hand in disbelief, she didn't expect that Lin Ruo would let her go so easily! What an incredible opportunity!

In order for her to let Su Muqing go?

seemed to see through Qu Xiaoxiang's thoughts, Lin Ruo said eight words: "The border is bitter cold, and it is not easy for the army and the people." ”

Because it's not easy, you don't want to use it as a threat?

How can a pampered young lady know the bitter cold of the frontier, and how can she understand that it is not easy for the military and the people?

Yes, she just went to the North.

Without him, her husband is King Rong.

But if she was asked to let Su Muqing go, Qu Xiaoxiang would be unwilling!

"Su Shizi has already told me about the crown princess. This matter is indeed the crown princess's fault, I thank you for Lingkang, if it weren't for you, Lingkang might have been worried about his life. ”

"You...... Don't want to get justice for her? ”

Qu Xiaoxiang was in disbelief again.

"Not this time, but not next time."

Lin Ruo's eyes were scorching, and her sharp eyes seemed to tell Qu Xiaoxiang that there was no need to doubt that she had this ability.

Most of Donglu's grain is in Lin Ruo's hands, and within three years, she will be sure to master the entire Donglu's grain. The life of the border army is cold, and threatening with such despicable methods is the next strategy, not to mention contrary to her original intention.

But even if she doesn't threaten her, she still has a way to restrain Qu Xiaoxiang.

"Grandpa Guo and Hou Ye have always been wise and neutral and do not participate in party disputes. Xiaoxiang, although you are not for the purpose of taking refuge in King Ye this time, if it is known to people with a heart, you will definitely be included in the Ye King Party. Even if you weren't, if the prince knew about it, he would think that you were on the opposite side of him. And behind you is the composer. ”

The decision of the Qu family is intriguing.

"This ......"

"Xiaoxiang, you have been in the south, you have led soldiers, you have been in battle, you have killed the enemy, you are a heroine among women, a heroine. However, the confrontation between the parties in the DPRK and China and the power grabbing of the literati are much more dangerous than those on the battlefield. You dealt with Sister Qing for your own selfishness, but in the eyes of others, you dealt with the prince behind the crown princess! In other words, it is the Qu family who wants to deal with the prince! Your words and deeds represent the attitude of the entire Jiangmen Qu family, this Jiangmen Qu family, including the Duke of Dian Guo, including Zhennan Hou, including Zhennan Hou Shizi, including the imperial grandmother, and even the 400,000 southern troops who obey the orders of the Qu family in the south! If the Qu family favors either the crown prince or King Ye, the emperor will never allow it! ”

In all dynasties, holding heavy troops was a taboo for emperors.

Emperor Mingzong thought of the Qu family's loyalty, and also looked at the face of the Queen Mother, so he exempted the Qu family from sending protons to Beijing. But once the Duke of Dian and Zhennan Hou are suspected of participating in the party struggle, even if they are relatives of the Queen Mother, even if he is loyal to the crown prince, Emperor Mingzong will never tolerate it - even if it is for the sake of the merits of the Qu family for decades and the children of the Qu family who sacrificed their lives for the country!

All courtiers can only be loyal to the king above the dragon throne, not a prince!
