Taihe Fang Mansion, inside the main mother house.

"Mother, you can help Zhi'er." Before Ling Rou and the weak man entered the house, a desolate and sad voice came in first.

Mrs. Fang was shocked, her daughter has the reputation of being the first talented woman in Taihe, she has always been dignified and stable, how could she ever see her like this.

Immediately after that, Cattail opened the curtain of the house, and Ling Rou walked in with a gloomy face, and there were two lines of tears on her face.

"Go down first." Mrs. Fang knew at a glance that something big must happen, except for an old mother who came to marry and relied on her, and immediately sent everyone in the house away.

The maid and the maid all retreated, and the old mother who accompanied the marriage brought a pestle and put it on the side of the kang, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, but what's wrong with it?" ”

"Mother, you must save Zhi'er." Ling Rou went back and forth on this sentence, only two lines of tears on her face, and she wiped it with a handkerchief from time to time.

Mrs. Fang leaned on the kang pillow with vermilion embroidered flowers, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the cattails next to her, "Miss, what grievances have you suffered, you must follow her, don't hurry up!" ”

She had a stern voice, and at the age of forty she still maintained a beautiful countenance, and she looked no more than thirty years old.

A luxurious phoenix on the head is shaking with green steps, although the face is not powdered, it is still smooth and delicate, only small wrinkles, and it is very lady-like in its demeanor.

Hearing this, Cattail hurriedly bent down and knelt on the ground, "Madam...... It's ......"

She couldn't say it clearly for a long time, because she didn't know how to describe Lin Qingqing's affairs, and only looked at Ling Rou who was choking and crying pleadingly.

"Foolish thing!" Mrs. Fang leaned on the kang pillow and pointed in her direction with one hand, "How do you serve the master?" Talking and talking, what do you want to hide? ”

"Madame!" Cattail's voice was already crying, and she kowtowed a few times, "It's the matter of the Seventh Prince, from ...... Out of nowhere, a village girl popped up, and it seems to have something to do with the Sixth Highness! ”

"What?!" Mrs. Fang was also taken aback when she heard this, her body couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and she pulled up Ling Rou on the side of the kang, "You sit next to me, and tell me about this matter." ”

The matter of his daughter and the Seventh Prince was also a strange thing in Taihe City back then, he was supposed to marry the Third Prince, but the Seventh Prince's rescue was born, and he accidentally married the Seventh Prince, and this matter can never be reborn, and it is not to blame Mrs. Fang for being in a hurry.

Ling Rou leaned towards her mother, "Kuangyan woke up this time, I felt that it was not the same as before, but I was young at that time, and I was injured and recuperated for many years, so I didn't take it to heart, who knew that a girl came out halfway, and kept saying that she and Kuangyan had a love affair for many years, I ...... I didn't have an idea for a while, so I came to ask my mother. ”

As she spoke, she affectionately took Mrs. Fang's arm and talked about the Shangyuan Lantern Festival hitting the ship at the birthday banquet of the little prince.

Mrs. Fang listened quietly, and after she paused for a moment, she sighed: "Which of the royal children does not have three wives and four concubines, and the seventh prince is not bad, but even if you provoke this affair, you will be a wife sooner or later, and you must be tolerant." ”

"Mother doesn't believe me?" Ling Rou was aggrieved and drilled into Mrs. Fang's arm, "It's just that I vaguely feel that this Lin Qingqing is different from Kuangyan, I can tolerate Kuangyan's three wives and four concubines, but I can't tolerate him and others in his heart." ”

Mrs. Fang sighed secretly, "You are dedicated to him, how can he ever have any friendship with you, pointing to the marriage contract when you were young, don't hurt you." ”

"Mother has also heard rumors from outside." The sadness on Ling Rou's face became even more obvious, "But I have followed him in this life and this life, no matter how he treats me, I have no complaints." ”

Mrs. Fang patted her hand gently, as if she was comforted, and said with a wave of her eyes: "You should talk about it first, how can you see that His Royal Highness is different from that girl, let's think about it in the long run." ”

As early as at the birthday banquet of Xiao Shizi, when Lin Qingqing poured three glasses of wine from Zhao Kuangyan, Ling Rouwan was suspicious, not to mention, Lin Qingqing's expression was sad and desolate, which was by no means caused by ordinary things.

And Zhao Kuangyan's attitude is also suspicious, how drunk the civilians are, instead of pursuing it, he wants to block the mouths of the people, not to protect the woman.

The things on the painting boat were even more suspicious, but Ling Rouqiao made up her mind to give Lin Qingqing a good look, but it was in the dark alley of the Moon Elders that day that the sentence "I was the one you want to marry" completely angered her.

"Mother." Ling Rou's weak expression was persistent, "I'm still young, and I can't remember many things before, so tell me about the victory in Kuangyan Mountain." ”

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Fang naturally knew that she was not interested in the war, so she directly talked about a dusty past, and it was also a secret history of the palace that was forbidden to talk about.

That was ten years ago, the young Seventh Prince, as a young marshal, led the assault team, lured the enemy deep, and launched a life-and-death struggle with the enemy at Shannan Pass, and finally won a big victory with less.

Emperor Longyan Dayue, 800 miles of urgent documents directly to the military camp tent, Xuan Qi Prince returned to Beijing to receive the reward, and set off immediately.

Just as the whole country was immersed in the joy of this victory, and the people of Taihe were even more happy to prepare to welcome the Seven Princes back to Beijing, the Seven Princes disappeared inexplicably.

No one saw the young general of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and no one saw the majestic and solemn soldiers of the Frontier Fortress, as if the notice of the Seventh Prince of Xuan returning to Beijing to receive the reward had never been there.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor once again announced to the world that the Seven Princes Shannanguan was seriously injured, and now he has been recuperating in the royal courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

The whole country mourned.

From the rumors, there is a different version, saying that the Seventh Prince did not return to Beijing at all, but was intercepted and killed by unknown people on the way.

It's just that this rumor was suppressed in only half a day, and it disappeared from the market, so not many people know about it.

"How credible does my mother think this rumor is?" Ling Rou weakly looked at Mrs. Fang with a solemn expression.

"No wind, no waves." Madam Fang shook her head, "But now that the Seventh Prince has reappeared, I only believe in Sancheng." ”

"What is my mother's letter?" Ling Rou continued to ask.

Madam Fang pondered for a moment, and the corners of her lips hooked up a faint smile, "Combined with what you said, I only believe that the Seventh Prince did not return to Beijing at all. ”

"Yes!" Ling Rou nodded heavily, "My mother and I want to go together, and the two of us will definitely be in contact in the intervening years, so I can't let them continue to entangle, otherwise my position as a concubine will be lost sooner or later!" ”

Ling's position as a weak concubine is related to the glory of the entire Ling family, how can Mrs. Fang not care.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, looking into the dark corners of the room, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Last time, I showed mercy to her men, and next time, she won't be so lucky." Ling Rou bit her lip weakly, and the corners of her mouth twitched with anger.

Mrs. Fang held her hand, "You are young, and there are many times when you are not careful, I will let Mother Wu help you, and with the Ling family as your backing, don't be afraid of anything." ”

Ling Rou's eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't stop nodding, and her tense face finally showed relief.
