When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed. "Xuan."

The eunuch responded, hurriedly stepped out of the hall, and Xue Rang appeared in front of everyone in a moment. However, he was not the only one who entered the temple, he was followed by two retinues. The two men carried a low table on the left and right, and three stacks of books were neatly placed on the table. Seeing this, Cheng Feng's face gradually turned blue.

Xue Rang walked to Ling Niankong's side and bowed on his knees. "Minister, Xue let me knock to see Your Majesty."

"Excuse me." The Emperor looked at the books. "Ling Aiqing, is this the evidence you said?"

"Exactly."

"Dali Siqing!" The Emperor called.

"The minister is here." A red-clothed official was called by name and hurriedly responded.

"This case will be handed over to your Dali Temple, and I order you to investigate it immediately and give me an answer within an hour. Don't be like the criminal department, teach me to be disappointed. ”

"Obey." The official responded, hurriedly sent someone to receive the evidence, and retired from the investigation.

An hour! The emperor was also too anxious. It seems that if this matter cannot be concluded today, no one will be able to leave.

I thought it would be an impossible task for Dali Temple to read all the evidence and make a decision within an hour, but I didn't want to return to Dali Temple just after half an hour.

The emperor, anxious to know the result, excused him from kneeling. He also knew that the matter could not be delayed, so he said directly: "The evidence provided by Commander Ling is very conclusive, and the authenticity has been verified. ”

Cheng Feng trembled when he heard this, but he also straightened his back.

The emperor's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. "Chenglu!"

"The minions are here."

"Prepare a decree for me: Cheng Feng, the deputy commander of our army, not only poisoned and killed key criminals and blamed others, but also dared to collude with the enemy country, and his crime is unforgivable. Now deposed his sister imperial concubine and entered the cold palace. The crown prince and the ninth princess are not allowed to leave their palace. Cheng Feng and the rest of his relatives were immediately decided, and they were executed three days later! ”

The emperor's words resounded throughout the hall with a violent rage, which made people frightened. But he didn't want the emperor to breathe a sigh of relief and continued: "Another: Ling Niankong, the commander of the Xuanyi Army, has uprooted traitors for our dynasty twice, endured humiliation and heavy burdens, and worked hard and made great achievements. I now order him to be the commander of my Nanli army, to be in charge of all military departments, and those who violate the order will be punished as a traitor! ”

When all the ministers in the hall heard this, they all knelt down and bowed, and said, "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Ling Niankong finally let go of my hand and bowed again. "Thank you for the emperor's grace!"

The reversal of the situation made me a little apprehensive for a moment.

Ling Niankong's net has been laid for two years, and the net is closed today, and its ending can be described as a three-eagle game: winning the position of the boss, suppressing the prince who has been fighting against him, and winning the trust of the emperor. By the way, he also reminded his colleagues in the officialdom: He Ling Niankong is not easy to mess with!

I let out a sigh of relief, and I was a little afraid of him in my heart, but at the same time, I also felt that this person was really amazing, and I am afraid that there may not be anyone who can compete with him in the entire court.

"Come on, put Cheng Feng in prison and keep him strictly guarded." The Emperor said.

Two palace guards stepped forward in response and dragged Cheng Feng out of the hall.

Cheng Feng was dragged and suddenly burst out laughing. "Good! Ling Niankong, hello means! I can't imagine that I, Cheng Feng, have galloped across the field for half my life, and when I arrived (liao), I was planted in the hands of you, a stinky boy who has not dried up! All right! Good! Hahahaha! Cheng Feng's wild laughter disappeared outside the hall.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I finally remembered where I had heard the name "Cheng Feng" before.

I remember that after the ice torture, I was imprisoned in the same room as the man in blue. The man wanted to do something wrong to me, but fortunately, Ling Niankong arrived in time. Just when he was furious and wanted to kill the man in blue, a green-clothed official rushed out to intercede. said that the man in blue was the nephew of Cheng Feng and the imperial concubine......

Suddenly remembered that Ling Niankong listened to the dissuasion of the green-clothed official at that time, and said: "Your life, I will take it sooner or later." ”

Now Cheng Feng's relatives have been punished, including his nephew.

Ling Niankong, you really do what you say!

Someone stepped forward and unchained us.

Ling Niankong helped me to my feet. But my legs had just recovered from freezing, but I knelt for so long, and I couldn't exert any strength for a while. As if anticipating, he threw his arms around my waist and made me lean on top of him.

"Remember what I said?" He whispered in my ear, "If I said we could get out of it, we would get out." ”

"Yes, yes, you're amazing, okay?" I said perfunctorily.

Is this guy in such a hurry to show off to me? Do you know what it means to be low-key?

So Yan Lin Xuan ...... "He looked into my eyes." You are not without support, and you can trust me when necessary. There was no ridicule or ridicule in his eyes, only seriousness.

Dependence? It turns out that I said: "Those who have no support do not deserve the word 'weak'." And he remembered.

I suddenly felt a trace of warmth in my heart, but I was diluted by reason in an instant. He may be something to rely on, but he will never be my trust.

My legs gradually regained their strength, and I stubbornly broke away from him.

A layer of frost gradually appeared in his eyes, and he was about to say something, but he heard the emperor call: "Ling Aiqing, today is the eighth day of the lunar month, I have set up a dinner party in the Zichen Palace, and now the hour is almost up, you can bring Doctor Lin to participate together!" ”

"Yes." Ling Niankong replied.

Banquet? For a solar term like Laba, this dinner should be a royal family feast. The emperor actually invited a foreign minister like Ling Niankong to participate, and it seemed that he really trusted him.

******

In the Zichen Palace, the lights and candles are swaying. The Emperor sat upright, but the seat beside him was empty.

That son should be the imperial concubine, right? Now that his brother has been convicted, he has also been sent to the cold palace, and he is no longer eligible to participate in the palace banquet.

This palace is really full of dangers, yesterday she was a noble concubine who was worshiped in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, but today she has become a poor abandoned woman in the miserable and cold palace. This palace is really inaccessible.

The crown prince was still sitting next to the emperor's right hand, and his eyes were slightly gloomy, but he was not disheartened.

Sure enough, it was the most ruthless emperor's family, and his uncle's family was about to be beheaded in three days, and he was only a little lonely on his face.

On the left hand side of the prince is Ling Niankong, and I sit at the same table with him. His expression did not show any joy for promotion, but seemed to be taken for granted.

Sitting across from us were two sisters, Luanxi and Luanyi. Luanxi hung her eyelashes and ate her food, looking a little sullen.

Remembering the last time I deliberately drove her away, I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart.

Look at Luan Yi again, this girl has a big heart, her mother and concubine have been beaten into the cold palace, she is still like a nobody, her eyes are staring directly at the people around me. It seems that this girl still hasn't given up on Ling Niankong, but I don't know if she will trouble me again when she sees me sitting at the same table with Ling Niankong.

After the song and dance, Chenglu beside the emperor clapped his hands twice. Everyone put down their wine glasses and chopsticks and waited for the emperor to speak.

The corners of the emperor's lips hooked, and he looked at Ling Niankong. "Ling Aiqing, as far as I know, you still haven't married a wife, and you don't have a marriage contract, right?"

I was stunned, why did this emperor suddenly mention this stubble?

When Ling Niankong heard this, he frowned very lightly. "Yes."

When the emperor heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger. "In that case, how about I marry the Ninth Princess Luan Yi for you?"

It was as if someone had suddenly choked my neck, and I couldn't breathe. I subconsciously looked at Luan Yi, and saw that her big eyes were eagerly looking at the person next to me.

I realized in my heart: Luan Yi should have told the emperor about Ling Niankong a long time ago.

The emperor should have had doubts about Ling Niankong before, but today's incident was completely dispelled.

But Ling Niankong, will he really agree? I turned my head to look at him, and he didn't have any expression on his face, but his hand was holding the wine glass tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were protruding.

Seeing Ling Niankong's hesitation, the emperor showed displeasure on his face. "What, Ling Aiqing is unwilling?"

Ling Niankong's hand clenching the wine glass gradually loosened. He got up and walked to the middle of the hall, and knelt down with his clothes on the hem of his clothes. "Minister, thank the emperor for his grace." After the end of the sentence, the head of the head.

"Good!" The Emperor laughed twice. "In this case, I will order Si Tiantai to choose an auspicious day and let Luan Yi get married!"

Seeing this, everyone congratulated one after another: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to General Ling!" ”

Ling Niankong returned to his seat and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

I mechanically took a chopstick and put it in my mouth to chew.

The emperor was willing to give Luan Yi to him in marriage, and he should not simply want to follow his daughter's thoughts. Now that Ling Niankong commands the whole army, the emperor gives him a marriage, which is nothing more than to better control him, after all, military power is related to the rule of chaos in a country. If you are not careful, the throne may change hands.

I ate a few bites of the food, but I couldn't taste anything. Ling Niankong, is he really going to marry Luan Yi? He probably doesn't want to, right? But as soon as he became the commander, how could he refute the emperor's face?

I shook my head.

Yan Linxuan, what are you sad about? Even if he doesn't marry Luan Yi, it will be impossible for him to be with you, what are you doing here to pity yourself?

Looking around the hall, there is a mixture of staggered and laughter, but in my opinion, it is a bit dazzling.

Feeling a little breathless, I stood up and walked silently outside the hall. A cold wind blew, and my breathing finally eased a little, and I continued to walk aimlessly along the corridor.

When I walked around the corner, I found that the moon was extremely bright tonight, hanging bent in the sky, and I unconsciously stopped.

"Shallow."

I was in a trance, and suddenly I heard a call. Some hesitantly turned around.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

How did he end up here? Did you follow me all the way?

The golden python on the clothes of the person in front of him was shining in the moonlight. His grim face gives people a sense of superiority, which only makes people feel contemptuous.

He stepped forward and grabbed my arm. "You're shallow, aren't you?" There was a light in his eyes that flickered.

I don't know how much he knows about my identity, so I don't dare to act rashly.

"Don't worry, I won't let others know your identity, after all, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we have had a marriage ......contract," the prince lowered his voice.

I felt a little uncomfortable, and tentatively broke free from his grasp. "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for me?"

"'His Royal Highness the Prince,'......" he repeated. When I was a child, you still called me the prince's brother with Luanxi. ”

Hearing what he said, he should not know about my "amnesia".

"At that time, Qing was young and didn't know the rules......"

He took my arm again and said in a deep voice, "Why are you still with that man?" Without him, you wouldn't have been ruined. ”

"I ......" I lowered my head, as a dilemma, but in fact I was thinking about countermeasures.

"He forced you to stay with you, didn't he?" The prince put his hands on my shoulders. "Do you want to get away from him?"

"Get out?" I looked up and looked at him. "Is there a way for Your Highness?"

I'm sure he'll tell me the real purpose of his follow-up here.
