From the ninth carriage of the first month, the group quickly arrived at the courtyard.

This annex is more luxurious than the last time I saw the decoration, and the layout of various places has a lot of small details, if the original place is a luxurious house, then this place has become a warm, carrying the feeling of "home" room, which is enough to see how attentive the person who arranged this room.

Introduced her into the house, and Chu Jiu left, leaving Mu Zhi to serve closely.

"Miss, you said that the prince is ......"

Xi Gu'an's face was solemn: "Disputes in the court, don't discuss them in private." ”

Mu Zhi shut his mouth in disdain, but his face was still a little pale - he originally thought that the young lady had escaped from the gloomy mansion and had a high-ranking and powerful prince who was enough to pamper him, but he didn't expect that he would be assassinated as soon as he entered the mansion, and he might be accused of "rebellion".

Thinking of this, her body couldn't help but become cold,

……

In the palace of the Queen Mother, a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman is sitting at the table tasting soup Gu, and there is a man on each of her left and right, they are all temperamental and handsome, but at this time, one person's face is very ugly, his eyes are staring at the man sitting opposite, his eyes are full of anger, and the other is the opposite of people, the other man is sitting on the side and sipping tea very calmly, and he doesn't even bother to give a look to the man opposite.

I don't know how long it took, Ling Xirui couldn't help but finally spoke: "Grandmother, I protest, you can't listen to his side of the story." ”

The Queen Mother did not give a clear reply to this, but instead saw Ling Xiqian, who looked at the right: "What did he say, what do you think?" ”

Since the Queen Mother had already asked a question, and obviously wanted to give an attitude, Ling Xiqian put down the teacup in his hand and stared at the person sitting opposite him with a cold gaze: "What kind of words?" From the very beginning, I didn't seem to say a word. ”

Hearing his fluttering words, Ling Xirui simply gritted his teeth fiercely!

Yes, early this morning, Ling Xiqian came to the Queen Mother's residence with some snacks, and immediately after, he received that his house was sealed, and several industries carried out outside in the name of others were also sealed. He was a little puzzled in his heart, only knowing that it was from too thick an order, and the others didn't say much.

Ling Xirui only felt that something was wrong, and sent his secret guard to inquire, and learned that Ling Xiqian had come to the empress dowager's bedroom with some things, and the two of them talked for a long time.

Thinking of the endless contradiction between Ling Xiqian and himself, Ling Xirui was so angry that he smashed a set of teacups, and immediately left to go to the queen mother's bedroom, he believed that the queen mother was a member of the royal family, and she would definitely not listen to the villain's words, and he would also expose Ling Xiqian's ulterior purpose, this time let him die without a place to be buried.

However, what puzzled him was that he thought that there was no conviction between the two of them, and that the two men were just very harmonious, sitting at the table like a very upright mother and son, eating the handicap in their hands.

Ling Xirui sat for a while, just waiting for the two of them to interrogate, but he sat for so long, and neither of them wanted to say a word to him, which made his heart more and more anxious, and finally couldn't help it.

Hearing this answer, the Queen Mother frowned, but the attack was not aimed at Ling Xiqian.

"Indeed, he just came to accompany me to taste tea, but you are in a hurry, which makes the mourning family very dissatisfied." As she spoke, her brows furrowed even tighter, and her face was ugly, "This time it was the idea of the mourning family to beat you, there must be a lot of those folds on your father's table, and there are a lot of those things on the table with the mourning family, all of them are impeached by you, you can see for yourself." ”

Hearing this, Ling Xirui's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked to the desk to look through the pile of small hills, and the more he looked at him, the more gloomy his face became.

"Imperial grandmother, this is all fake, I haven't done anything like this!" He tore all the folds apart, and fell to his knees, and the kneewalker crawled towards her, looking a little crazy.

The Queen Mother frowned, obviously very unhappy with his attitude: "The mourning family will not wronged any prince, I have to say, Xirui, your recent behavior is too rampant, your father came to me a few days ago to tell me such a thing, saying that you are wild, and you will be embarrassed to reuse it in the future." She sighed, "You must know that you are the most potential among the princes, and you are also the most proud prince of your father, once you ......"

She closed her eyes, but didn't continue.

Ling Xirui's face was already pale, and the Queen Mother was a little unbearable: "This time I should teach you a lesson, you have been in the house for two days in the past few days, and after three days, you will apply to your father to suppress bandits and make some merits, I believe that your father will soon change his mind." ”

Seeing that the imperial grandmother was still devoted to herself, Ling Xirui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had the leisure to argue with Ling Xiqian, and hurriedly ran to take care of the mess of those industries.

Seeing that he had already left, Ling Xiqian slowly put down the cup in his hand, stood up and bowed his hand to the Queen Mother: "The minister has also taken his leave, if my aunt likes it, I will bring some more novel refreshments next time." ”

The Queen Mother's face finally looked better, and she smiled gently: "You are still more hearted, it has been really hard for you to accompany the lonely old man of the mourning family these days." ”258

As if she had thought of something, she said angrily: "By the way, why didn't An An come today, I haven't seen your princess who is the first talented woman in Kyoto, why, don't you want your aunt to come and see it?" ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiqian's face condensed, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"She doesn't know the rules very well, and her health is relatively poor, so let her train in the mansion for a while and then come to see the imperial grandmother."

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Don't be petty, I know that you are not very happy about this marriage, and you can't be angry with An An because of this matter." Besides, didn't you get along very well at the Hundred Flowers Banquet? ”

Ling Xiqian's unmoving face finally became bored, and he said coldly: "It's just a show, there were so many people watching that day, I don't want to have a bad reputation for going against the imperial brother, and besides, I don't want to offend the prime minister, it's better to win over than to offend." ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, and sighed slowly: "Okay, the mourning family is old, and I can't do it anymore, I just want to help the emperor share a little pressure, but now it seems that ...... Alas, the mourning family doesn't want to care about your affairs anymore, and they don't have the strength to care about you, and now the mourning family is a little tired, you go back. ”

Ling Xiqian retired and left, and before leaving, the fifteen beside him couldn't help but speak: "Since the Queen Mother is a royal person, why is she so partial to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"It's not partial, it's just killing two birds with one stone," Ling Xiqian hooked his lips and shook his head: "The person who can sit in this position is really unusual. ”

He knew in his heart that the Queen Mother looked gentle on the surface, but she already had a balance of her own in her heart, but the other end of the balance was definitely not the current prince who was only impulsive. However, today's play is for himself and Ling Xirui, so that Ling Xirui can see clearly what kind of cusp he is on, provoke him, make him lose all his reason, and make himself and him completely become two opposites.

And who really benefited...... Thinking of the person who radiated kindness to him at the wedding banquet, Ling Xiqian slowly showed a sneer, sure enough, it seemed that the most innocent and harmless, the simplest person was the most unusual.

……

Xi's house, inside the courtyard.

Xi Ruorui pinched the note on the flying pigeon, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After reading it, she slowly lit the note on the candle and said to the kneeling man on the ground: "This is sent?" ”

The man's head was lowered, his eyes were full of horror, and his speech was stumbling: "Miss Xi, I am just a messenger, and I just take money to do things, and I don't know who the master behind it is, Miss Xi, don't embarrass me." ”

Xi Ruorui's brows furrowed, although he was still full of doubts in his heart, but looking at the beggar-looking person's dress, he obviously didn't want to lie, so he said impatiently: "Forget it, you go down." ”

After the man hurriedly ran away, Xi Ruorui stood still for a moment, almost breaking the handkerchief in his hand. Her expression was flustered, and she forcibly calmed down again, and summoned a slave beside her.

"Prepare a box of snacks and a few new clothes for me, and I'll go to Bodhi Village tomorrow."

The servant obviously knew how favored the eldest lady was, and was busy doing it.

And at this moment, Yang Manqing also received the news. She frowned and pondered for a while, a little uncertain and asked, "Miss has received a flying pigeon summons and plans to leave tomorrow?" ”

The man hung his head and said yes.

Yang Manqing asked, "Do you know what is written in the letter?" ”

"I don't know."

Yang Manqing couldn't sit still, she intuitively felt that this matter was extraordinary, and hurriedly went to find Xi Ruorui. However, obviously, the thoughts of these two people collided, and Xi Ruorui came to Yang Manqing's house after giving the order, and discussed tomorrow's plan with her.

Hearing the content of the note, a trace of surprise flashed in Yang Manqing's eyes, followed by a burst of excitement.

"This is a good idea, not only can it drag His Royal Highness King Ning into the water, but it can also completely solve that sick seedling!"

Seeing Xi Ruorui's still a little worried look, Yang Manqing comforted and patted the back of her hand: "I believe that as a mother, I will definitely help you handle these things properly, as well as Ling Xiqian's affairs, you can't slack off, you must try all kinds of ways to drag her tomorrow, even if it is ......"

Thinking of that person's handsome appearance and bearing, Xi Ruorui's face turned red, and he lowered his head shyly, and his eyes flashed with an inevitable light.
