Chapter 268: Capricious
The next morning, sure enough, no one from the palace came to pick them up, Tian Shen and the others had breakfast together and continued to investigate the cause of Concubine Jiang's death.
The Lingwang Mansion, which had been stable for a long time, received an anonymous letter, which provoked the Lingwang, who had been restraining himself recently, and lost his temper.
It turned out that the letter stated that on the night of the Ten Princes' rebellion, the two holy decrees were made by King Ye, and the holy decree to King Ling was forged by King Ye, in order to force King Ling to a dead end.
Who knew that in the end, the development of events deviated from everyone's plan, but the father was still wary of himself, and he was always on guard against himself, and it turned out that the good big brother was planning.
"King Ye, King Ye, you are really a good big brother, you are invincible if you don't move. ”
should have thought of it a long time ago, the beneficiaries of this matter are only a few, and everyone is just blinded by his usual gentlemanly clothes.
It turned out that they all looked deceitful, but they didn't dare to come out to fight head-on.
Slowly calmed down his mood, burned the letter, said that it was an anonymous letter, in fact, the handwriting in it was not disguised at all, it was the handwriting of the good ninth brother, and yes, he sought the protection of King Ye, and it was not strange that he knew these secrets, but why did he tell this to himself.
After thinking about it, he was irritable again, put away the letter, called people from outside to come in and serve, and drank two cups of tea before suppressing his anger.
"Master, the queen mother passed the word and asked the master to enter the palace in the morning. ”
"I know, pack up the nourishing holy products I found the day before yesterday, and bring them with me later. ”
The man hurried to get out and prepare.
Naturally, when entering the palace, you have to go to the emperor to say goodbye first, but someone has already arrived early.
The man had a smile on his face, as if he had no quarrel with the world, "Third brother." ”
When King Ling saw him like this, he became more and more sure that he wrote a letter, "King Duan came early." ”
"I have nothing to do all day, so I naturally came early, the third brother is busy, and he may be even busier in the future, but the third brother is a capable person who works hard. ”
King Ling glanced at him, but saw that this ninth brother himself couldn't understand it, maybe he had never understood these brothers.
When the emperor saw that they came to greet him in the morning, he was also happy, and said with a smile, "Your brother has a heart, you know your third brother" is busy, so don't talk to him poorly, the third child, these days are doing well, and when the birthday banquet is over, I will reward you well. ”
"Thank you, Father. ”
The two chatted with the emperor for a while, the emperor was tired, and King Ling only felt that his father's body seemed to be difficult to make up, and the former majestic and unparalleled person was now dying.
Out of the dormitory, King Ling asked, "You are a backer who betrayed yourself." ”
"Because he is a hypocrite, for other reasons, the third brother went to see the queen's mother, so he naturally knew. ”
"What do you want?"
When King Duan heard this, he turned his head sideways and looked into the distance, "I have always been cautious, I don't dare to fight with anyone for anything, I also want to be willful once, and I don't think about the willfulness of the back road once." ”
King Ling was noncommittal on the side, Concubine Zheng wanted to destroy Duanwang's plan from the root, and now it seems to be very successful, he has neither the courage nor the support, and he will never be able to compete with Lao Shi, but Lao Shi was the first to lose.
The two separated, and King Ling led people to the queen's palace.
The queen had already ordered someone to prepare the breakfast that King Ling Su Ri loved to eat, and waited in the Yong'an Palace with Yining.
As soon as King Ling entered the door, he saw his mother and sister waiting for him to eat, and his heart warmed.
"Queen Mother, you don't have to wait for your son's minister, your son's minister has to ask his father for peace first, how can you wait for a long time and be hungry. ”
The queen smiled, "You don't come often, just once in a while, I just want to dine with you, since you opened the mansion as an adult, we rarely have a time to eat together." ”
Yi Ning also said, "It's also right to wait for my brother." ”
King Ling was very happy, and as soon as he raised his hand, the people who followed him were busy presenting things.
"The day before yesterday they found some nourishing holy products, and today they brought them to the queen mother by the way. ”
The queen naturally has no shortage of these, but what her son sends, no matter what it is, is the most precious thing.
"I have a heart, you are busy these days, and you have to find time to do this, let's have dinner first, I made your favorite golden silk dumplings early this morning, hungry." ”
King Ling walked to the table and sat down, "I didn't eat in the morning, so I waited to eat in the harem." ”
The queen was coaxed to be happy, and ordered everyone to retreat, and the mother and son ate alone, and they could also talk about themselves.
"Queen Mother, you are too partial, Yining is still a patient, you don't do what I love to eat. ”
Without waiting for the queen to speak, King Ling stretched out his finger and knocked her, "Little conscienceless, this wishful cake and jade beard noodles are not all what you love to eat, and they also hurt the queen mother's heart." ”
Yining rubbed his head, "Brother, do you remember, you haven't eaten with Yining for a long time." ”
"I don't remember, it's not that I'm hungry, I don't eat quickly, it's cold for a while. ”
The queen looked at their brothers and sisters, and was very satisfied, as a mother, she didn't want her children to be so carefree all the time, but unfortunately this was only a moment or three, and there were countless hidden arrows waiting for her out of this door.
The three of them tacitly enjoyed the time of reunion and savored every delicacies.
Half an hour later, the three of them finished breakfast, and the queen ordered someone to remove the meal, tidy up the appearance, and restore the grace and elegance of the queen, as if in front of outsiders, she would never show the appearance of a mother.
Yi Ning glanced at his brother and found that he had also quickly regained the prestige of the prince, as if there were thousands of eyes watching him the moment the door of confinement opened.
She couldn't help but straighten up, smiled happily on her face, and put it away.
King Ling drank a few sips of hot tea, "I heard that Yining is unwell?"
Yi Ning didn't know how to answer, but his mother didn't seem to want to hide anything in front of her brother, so she told the cause and effect of the matter.
"I didn't want to tell you about this matter and distract you, but this girl is hard-hearted, you help me talk about her. ”
King Ling frowned and thought for a moment, "Do you really like Twilight Shen?"
Yi Ning thought he was going to speak for himself, so he nodded hurriedly.
Seeing her like this, King Ling sighed in his heart, "You better forget him, he is not your good match."
Yi Ning only felt that there was a basin of cold water coming down, "Why?"
"You are a princess, no matter how noble you are, you can't be honored, so no matter how good your family background is, you are still high, so I don't look down on his background, but you are really not suitable, you have been cared for since you were a child, how can he treat you well if he is such a rough person. ”
Yi Ning hurriedly said, "I'm not afraid, if he doesn't want to stay in the capital, I'm willing to follow him to the end of the world, accompany him to do what he likes, punish rape and eliminate evil, and pull out a knife to help when he sees injustice, I think I like this kind of life very much." ”
The queen said, "Do you want to leave me and your brother and fly away with other people?"
King Ling stopped the queen's words, lest they fight again.
It seems that if you don't make it clear, Yining is stuck on the tip of the horns and refuses to come out, "Then think about it, do you like the twilight sun, or do you like his so-called comfortable life, and like him to be able to take you away from this ruthless and boring Miyagi in your opinion?"
Yi Ning was stunned, when she saw Twilight Tianshen, she was indeed happy, and when the queen mother objected, there was a trace of anti-excitement in her heart.
The queen said, "You just make it clear, don't let her have illusions anymore." ”
King Ling knew in his heart that his younger sister had suffered a little loss except for playing with Sister Xie a few times when she was a child, and she had not suffered any setbacks over the years, and it was not so easy for her to give up directly.
"Have you ever wondered why he rejected you harshly. ”
"Because we haven't gotten along well, he treats me like a stranger. ”
King Ling shook his head and said, "He said that he has a sweetheart, do you believe it?"
Yining shook his head fiercely.
"People like him don't disdain to deceive people, he said that if he has a sweetheart, he won't lie to you. ”
Yi Ning knew what he was going to say, his nose was sour, his head was lowered, and he didn't speak.
"There is a woman beside him who is like-minded with him and has been with him for two years, the reason why he refuses to explain is to protect her, he is cold to you, but he puts the other one on the tip of his heart, do you think it will be a good match for you?"
But when he saw Yi Ning, he raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and looked at King Ling seriously, "Brother, what is there about me that is not as good as Sister Xieyan." ”
King Ling sighed, "You are not inferior to her, she is her, you are you, why do you want to lower yourself so much for a man who has met a few times? In the hearts of me and the queen mother, you are the best." ”
The queen also felt uncomfortable when she saw it, everyone thought that in this world, there was nothing that power could not get, but they didn't understand that power was a gorgeous cage.
The twilight is sinking, obviously a stubborn stone, except for what he cares about, no one else can get into his eyes, even if it is a princess, if they are forced to be together, it will be Yining who will suffer for the rest of his life.
Seeing her like this, King Ling hardened his heart, didn't comfort her, and directly talked to the queen about other things.
"Lao Jiu wrote a letter to me and told me that the holy decree to canonize me as the crown prince that day was forged by King Ye tomorrow. ”
The queen was not surprised at all, "This is not impossible, royal children, no one is really a decent gentleman." ”
When Yi Ning heard this, he was stunned on the sidelines, did even the eldest emperor brother participate? The situation that day was so dangerous, it turned out that the eldest emperor brother also had a share.
This is the first time that the two queens have discussed things without avoiding Yining.
They felt the need to let Yining experience the sinister human heart.
"Then why did Lao Jiu tell me. ”
The queen said lightly, "Because he found out that his biological mother, Concubine Jiang, was killed by the Yuan Hou Nan clan." ”
King Ling raised his eyes and looked at the queen, understanding that the queen mother must have a part in this matter.
After thinking about it a little, he knew the deep meaning of the queen mother's move, let King Ye and King Duan fight, and let the father see what kind of person his good son was.
Yi Ning listened to his mother and brother talk about some secrets that he had never heard before.
Empress Yuan has been dead for many years, and there is still a good name in the palace, would she really do such a thing?
"It turned out that he wanted to provoke me to deal with King Ye, so clumsy, but it was really willful and reckless. ”
