"Can I let this girl live in the palace temporarily?" Ling Ran asked.

The girl looked up at Chu Yijun, her eyes full of anticipation.

"You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to protect this child?" Chu Yijun raised his eyebrows and replied.

The girl's eyes immediately turned red, her head hung down, and her thin and small body trembled slightly.

Ling Ran was a little confused, and pulled the girl into his arms with some distress:

"But I'm fine now, isn't it?"

Chu Yijun had already turned the horse back around, and the horse's front hooves were lifted by him, and for a while, the dust rolled under the horse's hooves, and Ling Ran couldn't help but cover his mouth.

I only heard Chu Yijun turn his head and stack a sentence at her, so he whipped off his horse and drove away.

When Ling Ran heard this, he felt a sharp blow to his chest.

The words were: "The arrow was struck down for you by this king." ”

For a long time, Ling Ran was stunned.

At this time, the girl touched Ling Ran's elbow.

Ling Ran reacted at this time, and smiled at her apologetically:

"It's okay, let's go, my sister will take you back to my sister's house first, and the family will definitely like you very much."

The main hall of the Xuan Palace.

Chu Yijun was dressed in a black robe trimmed with gold edges, standing in front of a group of women who were kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to look up at him, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, scanning them majestically, with a touch of real anger in his eyes.

Among that group of women, there were maids, concubines, and even Concubine Ling Yu, all of whom were kneeling on the cold celadon ground with their heads bowed at the moment, each with their own thoughts, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Suddenly, a guard strode in and reported to Chu Yijun:

"Back to the prince, we have already checked, except for the concubines of the Ling family, all the women in the mansion are already in the main hall."

"Very good," Chu Yijun nodded, "Bring that person over!" ”

"Yes."

In the middle of the night, two guards walked in with the man in brown on the left and the right.

"You all listen to this king now," Chu Yijun swept his sword eyebrows, "This one is the one who was hired by one of you to kill the Ling family's concubine on the painting boat this afternoon. From now on, one by one, you will stand up, and if he shakes his head at anyone, he will immediately walk out of this main hall. If he nods to anyone...... This king cannot guarantee what will happen to her next. ”

A moment of silence.

"Who's the first to come?!" Seeing that no one dared to stand up and test the water, the anger on Chu Yijun's face grew.

At this time, Ling Yu suddenly stood up and walked silently towards the brown-clothed man, his face full of confidence.

The whole audience held their breath and waited for the reaction of the man in brown, and Chu Yijun also looked at him.

I saw him shake his head.

The corners of Ling Yu's mouth immediately curved into a smug smile and strode out of the main hall.

Someone started the meeting, and the atmosphere of the audience suddenly became less restrained.

After a while, only one woman was left kneeling with her head bowed.

When Chu Yijun saw it, it turned out to be one of his concubines.

Ironically, he had forgotten her name now......

"That looks like she's her." Chu Yijun looked at the man in brown.

The brown-clothed man glanced at the woman on the ground and nodded at Chu Yijun.

Chu Yijun walked towards her with a faint smile, only to see that the little concubine buried her head lower at the moment, as if she wanted to stick to the ground.

"Let's talk," Chu Yijun casually pulled a chair and sat down, "The ins and outs of the whole story, including all the people who conspired with you, how Ling Ran's personal maid was tied to the tree, just recruit it truthfully, this king will spare your life today." ”

Prime Minister's Office.

After listening to Ling Ran's account of what happened this day, Ling Jin and his wife couldn't help but sweat for Ling Ran, and at the same time greatly affirmed Chu Yijun.

But when they heard that Ling Ran wanted them to take in the girl whose parents had died, Ling Jin and his wife couldn't help but glance at each other, and then at the same time, they both sighed lightly, and then nodded and agreed.

After settling the girl, Ling Ran set off towards the palace, but as soon as she walked out of the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw several women walking out of the main entrance of the palace with large bags on their backs, looking embarrassed to be swept out.

After taking a closer look, I found that several of them were Chu Yijun's man's concubines!

The women noticed Ling Ran's gaze and looked at her, and when they found out that it was Ling Then, those faces all distorted in unison, and one of them opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, and turned his head to speed up the pace of leaving the palace.

Did these little concubines be kicked out of the palace by the prince?! Ling Ran was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't think much of it and walked straight to the door.

"Mrs. Ling, the prince is waiting for you in the Xuancao Pavilion, please come with me."

A man in Tsing Yi saw Ling and walked towards her, and Ling Ran immediately recognized him as Chu Yijun's personal bodyguard, Ye Xun.

Ling Ran glanced back at the backs of the women who had left the palace with their burdens, responded with some apprehension, and followed Ye Xun into the Xuancao Pavilion.

I saw that the black figure sitting with his back to her heard the sound and gradually turned around, looking at her with something complicated in his eyes that Ling Ran couldn't understand.

"Lord, that Ye Xun retreated first." Seeing that Chu Yijun was staring at Ling Ran directly at the moment, Ye Xun retreated with interest and closed the door by the way.

Ling Ran didn't know why he was reluctant to look him in the eyes at this moment, because if his mother concubine was really the last Ling Ran, she seemed to owe too much to him now......

"Why, just because this king saved your life, you know guilt now?"

Ling Ran looked at a corner of the floor, unwilling to meet his eyes, but was grabbed by Chu Yijun on his lap, and a big palm pressed the back of her head, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

For a while, the warm and slightly ambiguous~ambiguous~ breath of the two people gently splashed on each other's faces.
