"My method can not only help you get out, but also rescue Brother Ling." The tone of the prince's words was extremely confident.

"Brother? Didn't my brother ...... two years ago" I deliberately choked up when I said this, but I actually wanted to get more useful information. It's just that the news that Leng Yunshen may still be alive surprised me.

He pulled me and walked a few more steps towards the place where no one was. "The secret I got recently shows that Brother Ling is still alive, but his situation is precarious, would you like to rescue him?"

I looked eagerly into his eyes and nodded. But I thought in my heart: What does Leng Yunshen's life and death have to do with me? I'm just going to see if I can trade with Ling Niankong out of my favor, and maybe I'll be able to regain my freedom.

"That being the ......case," the prince suddenly put his lips to my ear, "Have you ever heard of the Chosen One?" ”

The Chosen One? Is it the prince of Beili who has been repaired and can influence the general trend of the world?

I nodded. I only heard the prince continue to say in my ear: "The secret I have obtained is that after the Chosen Son of the North left was lost, he was never found. said that it took five years to find it back, but it was just to hide people's eyes. And the real chosen son is actually the son of Ling Tang Leng Yi Han, that is, Ling Brother Leng Yunshen. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, but I still managed to continue listening to him.

"Qingqian, you also know that Ling Tang was originally an old minister of Fengli and was stationed in Liaocheng. I saw that my father wanted to correct the world and was willing to be used by my father. You were only seven years old at that time, and you may not remember very clearly, after my father invaded Shengjing, your father got the promise of my father and the emperor to lead the family from Liaocheng to Shengjing. In the secret, it is said that in the process, your real brother died of illness on the way to Shengjing with his family. Son, your father captured Feng Li's chosen son alive and brought him back to Shengjing, so that he could replace the dead Leng Yunshen and raise him in the mansion. ”

"So......" My voice trembled a little.

It turned out that the person who kidnapped the chosen son back then was Leng Yihan! Presumably, Leng Yihan must have acted very secretively at that time, otherwise the Beili royal family would not have been looking for Yan Zhaoran's whereabouts for so many years. And Emperor Nanli must not know, otherwise he would not let Leng Yihan raise such an important person as Yan Zhaoran.

"Therefore, your brother is not the real Leng Yunshen at all, but Yan Zhaoran, the chosen son of Heaven who is disguised as your brother."

I was speechless in amazement.

"Qingqian, although he is not your real brother, after all, the two of you have lived together for so long, and the relationship has always been ...... affectionate."

The prince's intention in this could not be more obvious, in order not to let him see that I had other intentions and deal with him, I could only follow him and say: "Your Highness is right, my brother has always treated me very well, whether I am related to him or not, he is my brother." His Highness said that my brother is still alive, if this is the case, please ask Your Highness to help me rescue my brother! There was a hint of pleading in my tone.

"Qingqian, you and I don't have to be so polite. I'm willing to help you with this, but your brother should be in Ling Niankong's hands now, and he is being appreciated by his father......"

I was stunned. "Brother in Ling Nian's empty hands?"

"Not bad. When Ling Niankong investigated your father's case, among the evidence he found, there was a letter from Emperor Beili, which asked your father to return the chosen son. Ling Niankong found out such a shocking secret and did not report it, but concealed it. I guess he must have wanted to control and use the Chosen Son, so before the Leng family was tortured two years ago, he must have sent someone to drop the bag, and the Chosen One should be hidden by him. ”

I see! It seems that my previous guess was exactly right, and the physical evidence that Ling Niankong really wanted to hide should be this handwritten letter from the Emperor of Beili.

It is said that the chosen son can influence the general trend of the world, and the world is also convinced of this. Therefore, whoever can control the Chosen One is equivalent to controlling the whole world!

If the emperor knew that Ling Niankong was secretly hiding such physical evidence, it would not be difficult to guess that the Chosen One was in his hands. Such a situation should be tantamount to rebellion in the emperor's eyes. No wonder Ling Niankong went to great lengths to set up such a big game!

So the prince is finding me now because his previous plan failed, and he wants to use my help to try to make the physical evidence hidden by Ling Niankong public again, right? But why did he look for me?

"Qingqian, people say that there are gains and losses, if you want to save your brother, you must let go of that person, can you do it?" The prince's tone hardened coldly.

How do I answer "I ......"? If I had known that the water behind this was so deep, I would have pretended to have amnesia from the beginning. What can I do now, do I really want to save the so-called Chosen Son and watch the prince attack Ling Niankong?

"Qingqian, now that you know all the truth, if you don't want to help me......" He paused, and his tone sank: "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you." ”

I chuckled in my heart, he was right, now that I know all his plans, if I don't do what he says, I'm afraid my life will not be saved. So I couldn't help but scold myself: Yan Linxuan! Let you be smart and want to say something, it's good now, put your own life, even that person's life into it!

But at this point, I can only act on the opportunity.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. Qing Qian was just a little shocked when she heard the truth at first glance. My voice deliberately carried resentment, and continued: "Ling Niankong harmed my whole clan, imprisoned my freedom, imprisoned my brother, and my affection for him was long gone. His Royal Highness needs to do what Qing Qian, and Qing Qian will definitely do it. ”

Hearing this, the prince hooked the corners of his lips. "It's really transparent, I'm not wrong." As he spoke, he put his hands on my shoulders again and turned me to one side. "Do you see that palace maid over there?"

I raised my eyes when I heard this, and saw a pink-clothed palace maid standing not far ahead. The maid held a tray in both hands, and two wine glasses full of wine were placed on the left and right sides of the plate.

I nodded. I heard the prince say again: "That's the palace maid who will serve you wine later." What you have to do is to make sure that Ling Niankong drinks the glass of wine on the left hand side of the palace maid, and the other glass of wine is not added, it is yours, don't make a mistake. ”

"What's in that glass on the left?" I was very uneasy.

"I told you, but it only added to your troubles, you just have to do what I say."

I knew that it was useless to ask again, so I had to answer.

I was about to return to the main hall. As soon as he took a step, he heard the prince suddenly say: "Since I divorced you, the position of my crown princess has been vacant, if it happens, that son will be yours." ”

"Your Highness." Although I responded with my mouth, I secretly slandered this prince for being conceited, and he thought that all the women in the world were rushing to marry him?

"Go ahead." The prince said lightly.

"Yes."

I turned around the corner of the corridor, and the palace maid who served wine followed me not far away. I don't know what to do.

What to do? What's in that glass? Do I really want to watch Ling Niankong drink it? But if he doesn't drink it, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble." What to do? What to do?!

I took a deep breath and secretly admonished myself: Calm down, Yan Linxuan, you have to be calm!

Xu is self-suggestion worked, my thinking became clearer, and I secretly guessed the prince's intentions: In fact, the trap laid by the prince tonight can obviously not tell me, just poison Ling Niankong. But why did he tell me anyway?

Maybe...... Maybe he wanted to make sure nothing went wrong?

After all, he and Cheng Feng have always been close, and now that Cheng Feng is collaborating with the enemy, he is extremely suspicious in the eyes of others.

When the results of today's trial spread, the faction opposing the crown prince in the DPRK and China will definitely hint to the emperor that Cheng Feng's collusion with the north was instructed by the prince. If this is the case, the crown prince will be suspected of rebellion, and it will be believed that he wants to take advantage of the power of his neighbors to ascend to the throne early.

If the emperor believes, then the prince will not just be grounded. Don't say that the crown prince's position is difficult to protect, I'm afraid my life is in danger.

From this point of view, tonight should be the last chance for the crown prince. The reason why he found me was because he thought I was cold.

After all, Ling Niankong had a grudge against Leng Qingqian for killing his father, and he told me that Ling Niankong's imprisonment of the Chosen Son was nothing more than to add fuel to this hatred, trying to use my "hatred" for Ling Niankong to ensure that his plan tonight was foolproof.

It's a pity that he found the wrong person, I'm not cold.

I thought about it all the way, but I still didn't think of a countermeasure. And I had already sat back next to Ling Niankong. When he saw me come back, he just glanced at me.

The food in front of him hadn't been touched much, but the glass was empty. The palace maid stepped forward at the right time to serve the wine, put the glass of spiced wine in front of Ling Niankong accurately, and sent the remaining cup to me, and respectfully withdrew.

I stared at the glass in front of him, stunned. It only took a moment that many plans flashed in my mind, but they were rejected by me one by one in an instant.

Frustrated, I suddenly found that the wine glass in front of me was gone, and my heart suddenly sudden, and I hurriedly looked at him, only to see him slowly bring the wine glass to his lips. His upper lip was already touching the surface of the wine, like a dragonfly dotting water.

I was in a hurry, and I was about to stop it, but I caught a glimpse of a dark robe embroidered with gold thread dragging it to the ground.

The prince is back!

I didn't say it for a while, and I didn't say it. When I was in a dilemma, I saw Ling Niankong's hand holding the wine glass pause, his eyes rolled slightly, and after a while, he quietly put the wine glass down.

His slender fingers caressed the flap of his lip, wiping away the slight liquor from his upper lip.

I secretly sighed, this guy is really better than a fox, but I have to worry about it!

However, now that the crown prince has already made arrangements, I am afraid that sooner or later he will find a way to let Ling Niankong drink that glass of wine.

I thought about it, and looked secretly at the prince's table, and when I saw that he was talking to the others, I quickly switched places between my own glass and his, and thought that as long as I didn't drink it.

Ling Niankong has been eating with his head bored since he put down the wine glass, and he doesn't know if he noticed that I changed the wine glass.

I was thinking about it, but the emperor raised his glass, and everyone fell silent.

The Emperor looked at us with his glass in his hand.

"Ling Aiqing, when I first saw you three years ago, I thought you were very close, and later you made many military exploits, and also eliminated the tumor for our dynasty, which is really indispensable, I salute you!" After speaking, the emperor craned his neck and drank the wine in the cup.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Niankong. One of the gazes came from the right side, and the gaze was more yin than everyone else, and the owner of that gaze was none other than the crown prince.

Ling Niankong picked up his wine glass and said respectfully: "What the minister does is just the duty of a courtier, thank Your Majesty for your respect!" Without hesitation, he drank the wine in his glass.

Hey? Did this guy just notice that I had changed the wine, or did he just recognize what was in the wine and have the certainty of detoxification?

Anyway, luckily we were able to swap places between the two glasses.

I was feeling proud, but in the next second, I realized what it means to be happy and sad.

I saw the emperor raise his glass again, but this time it was at me.

I froze. I always thought I was a little transparent, but I didn't expect the emperor to toast me!

The emperor said with a smile: "This time, the investigation of the case by Medical Officer Lin has been wronged. I also heard that Luan Yi's illness has been greatly improved by your healing, so I salute you as a father with this second glass of wine! After that, he drank it all again.

I shook my hand and picked up my glass, exclaiming, "Bad luck! ”。
