Chapter 165: Conspiracy

After Zhou Yan left, Shaohua asked Ling some questions, her face changed, and she was a little impatient and asked her to take care of herself first, and leave everything else alone. And Li Xunzhuo was troubled because Jinhua's whereabouts were unknown so far, and Shaohua didn't dare to ask him about things.

For Jinhua, to say that there is no resentment in his heart is a lie. If it weren't for Yan Kaizhi's appearance, I'm afraid she would have reported to the Yama Palace by now, but the so-called Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing. Although he took a bit of a risk, he was able to get Yan Kaizhi's personal promise, and Shaohua had a different feeling in his heart, so when Li Xunzhuo asked about Jinhua, Shaohua chose to keep silent.

Life and death are fateful, since Jinhua is so ruthless that she pushes her into the water and escapes regardless of her safety, she can't worry about her whereabouts. If she can come back alive, then her life will be counted, and the account between them will be calculated when the time comes. If he can't come back, Shaohua sneered in his heart, if there are really three longs and two shorts, then it will be regarded as a newspaper in the present world, depending on who has accumulated more virtue in his previous life.

Despite the arrival of the Li family, the Ling family is still living at their own pace, and there is less than half a month left for the New Year, and there are still many things to be busy with, plus now that there are so many guests, the people below are even busier than touching the ground.

Shaohua lay on the bed and thought for a long time, and couldn't help but ask Youhan to find Bo Yan over, only to learn that Bo Yan was not at home.

"And when will he be back?" This made Shaohua feel very curious, in her impression, Bo Yan was like a brother, always considerate and caring for her. But she has been at Ling's house for so long, and she has been lying on the bed for so long, she has never seen him appear, and when asked about his whereabouts, no one even knows.

"I don't know about this, it seems that since we came to the Ling family until now, I haven't seen the shadow of Young Master Bo Yan, not even other young masters." Youhan brought Shaohua a lilac-colored padded cloak and wrapped her whole body tightly before letting her get out of bed.

"None of the other young masters?" Shaohua was holding a bowl of chicken soup to his mouth, and was startled by Youhan's words.

Youhan nodded, "Maybe it's because the uncle won't let them disturb the fifth lady." ā€

Shaohua held the soup bowl sullenly, sipped it lightly, and said, "What did you inquire about in the capital?" "She can't count on anyone to give her news now, she just hopes that Yuhan can hear some rumors.

However, Youhan's answer disappointed her, and in order to take care of Shaohua, she didn't even have a chance to step out of the house.

Originally, as soon as he recovered from a serious illness, he should continue to lie down and recuperate, but Shaohua couldn't sit still at all, and as soon as the fever subsided, the whole person became alive. She and Ling's proposal to go out for a walk were all rejected by Ling's, and Zhou Yan only came once, and never showed up again, and no one else had a shadow. This made Shaohua's heart itch uncomfortably, as if everyone knew about it, and she was alone in the dark.

Finally, she figured out the whereabouts of the Ling family, and Yang Youhan accompanied her to find Old Man Ling.

In this family, if there is something that even Old Man Ling doesn't know, it must be useless for others to ask. For Old Man Ling, Shaohua has a different kind of affection in his heart, probably because he originally raised the relationship, and he always feels more intimate in his heart than when he sees other people. finally went out, and the sunshine that had been away for many days made her feel bright, and even the steps under her feet became lighter, and Youhan couldn't catch up.

In view of Shaohua's special status in the Ling family, he came to Old Man Ling's courtyard without any hindrance and effort. Shaohua selfishly wanted to surprise Old Man Ling, and was ready to sneak in quietly.

Ling Youhan diverted the attention of the gatekeeper and sneaked in over the wall, and just as he slipped to the window, he heard a familiar voice in the house: "Dad, Jingli is already in chaos, isn't it time to act." ā€

Second Uncle Ling's solemn tone made Shaohua can't help but freeze his body, squatting down on the spot, hiding under the window and listening. Second Uncle Ling's temper made Shaohua remember it very deeply, and he always spoke with ridicule and ridicule, and his smiling appearance was in stark contrast to Uncle Ling, who was not smiling. Now, his tone was serious and cautious, and he didn't hear the slightest hint of jokes. If it weren't for the coincidence of hearing the word "Jingli", Shaohua would definitely turn around and leave.

Old Man Ling was silent for a long time, his voice was like a bell, his dantian was powerful, and his momentum was like a rainbow. "Don't worry, wait."

Shaohua was a little surprised, Old Man Ling was also from a Lian family, and his voice was more powerful than that of middle-aged men like Li Xunzhuo.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for a few days, and if he presses it, I'm afraid he will lose his mind." Second Uncle Ling said softly.

"Tell him to go down, rescue him, the ends of the earth, and keep him safe." Sixteen words, sonorous and powerful, with a sense of disobedience between them, even Shaohua, who was hiding outside, felt like a war drum and nervous.

She was extremely curious in her heart, and listened to her tone, as if what happened in the capital was related to the Ling family. But she clearly remembered that the Ling family was just a squire of Pu'an, and she insisted on getting involved, that is, she had raised flowers, birds, fish and insects for Queen Duanming, which was a beautiful time for a while. However, Old Man Ling's tone sounded more like a mastermind behind the scenes, could it be that the Ling family had any secrets to hide from them, and even the Li family didn't know about it?

Maybe he was thinking too much about it, so he inadvertently moved his steps and made some subtle sounds, but he was keenly noticed by Second Uncle Ling. His heart sank, his eyes suddenly became sharp, he glanced at the window, jumped forward, volleyed over, and came out of the window. Before Shaohua could speak, he was startled by the figure that suddenly flashed in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.

"Little Five?" Second Uncle Ling obviously didn't expect that it would be Shaohua hiding outside, and frowned, "What are you hiding here." ā€

"I—I've come to visit my grandfather." Shaohua put his hands on his fluttering chest, and he didn't dare to look directly at Second Uncle Ling's gaze. She had heard the Ling family say that the two uncles of the Ling family had been practicing martial arts since childhood, but she never thought that the second uncle Ling would be so skilled. Don't talk about flying cornices and walls, if someone tells her that they will actually fly away, Shaohua will definitely believe it.

"How did you get in?" Second Uncle Ling didn't put on his usual laughing expression, thinking in his heart that he didn't know how much Shaohua had eavesdropped. The gatekeeper is his confidant, and without his permission, even his wife may not be accommodating.

"Got in over the wall." Shaohua said a little weakly, but in the face of Second Uncle Ling's questioning, she didn't dare to lie.

I saw that Second Uncle Ling's expression was slightly sluggish, and then Old Man Ling's voice came from the room, "Little Wu, you come in." ā€

Shaohua stared at Second Uncle's expression, got up from the ground tremblingly, and slowly moved into the room against the wall. Seeing Second Uncle Ling coming in, she deliberately kept a distance from him, making him feel funny and angry.

"Little Five, is your health good? There is nothing uncomfortable about it. Old Man Ling smiled kindly, as usual, as if nothing had happened just now.

Shaohua opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer, just nodded, obviously frightened.

Old Man Ling glared at his son, "You go out, just let Xiao Wu accompany me." Seeing some reproach in his father's eyes, Second Uncle Ling looked a little innocent, nodded, looked at Shaohua's palpitating appearance, and had to leave in frustration.

Second Uncle Ling's departure made Shaohua breathe a sigh of relief, and the big stone that was pressing on his heart was also half relieved, and when he looked back and saw Old Man Ling's smile, he still couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and decided to ask clearly.

"Do you want to ask me what my second uncle and I have said?" Old Man Ling broke Shaohua's doubts with a word, seeing that she nodded excitedly like pounding garlic, Old Man Ling smiled and touched her head, and asked, "Then you tell Grandfather, what did you hear just now?" ā€

"I only heard that there was chaos in Beijing, and my grandfather asked my second uncle to save someone." Shaohua replied truthfully, seeing that Old Man Ling was silent, she asked curiously: "Xiao Wu knows that I shouldn't eavesdrop, I just haven't seen my grandfather for too long, and I'm very worried about it, so I sneaked in, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop." "Listening to the corner of the wall, it is difficult to move away from the beginning.

Seeing that Old Man Ling was not angry, Shaohua had the courage to ask again: "Can grandfather tell me what happened in Jingli?" I promise I will never tell anyone else, even if I am my aunt! ā€

Old Man Ling came back to his senses, looked at her clear and bright eyes, thought for a moment, and then said: "The eldest prince intended to rebel and was besieged in the palace. ā€

Shaohua opened his mouth wide and froze in place, but he didn't expect that after all, their family was on the side of the eldest prince.

"That's it?" It took Shaohua half a day to find his voice.

Old Man Ling raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you think is the matter?" ā€

Shaohua looked a little lost, "I listened to the mysterious tone of the second uncle, and I thought there was some big secret. In comparison, Second Uncle Ling's skills were even more surprising to her by hiding so well.

Old Man Ling blew his beard and glared and said, "Do you think saving people is a joke?" ā€

Shao Hua sneered, "Naturally not, I'm just thinking, since the eldest prince has been besieged, and we can't get in, how can we rescue him." "Even if Second Uncle Ling has the ability to reach the sky, he can't pass through the encirclement and save a person out of thin air. Besides, if this is discovered, it will be charged with rebellion.

Suddenly, Shaohua felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was about to happen, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand up straight.

"Xiao Wu, you little lady don't know too much, in short, since you heard it, then I might as well tell you. But this matter is about our Ling family, you must remember to keep your mouth shut. Old Man Ling sighed heavily.

Shaohua suddenly felt that she was obviously a little unkind when she forced the old man to tell such a big secret, but she didn't know anything about it and didn't ask clearly, and she felt really uncomfortable.

She understands the sentence of receiving a little kindness from others, but she has to risk the lives of the Ling family to do this. Shaohua couldn't figure it out, since this was the case, why did Old Man Ling just say that he had to wait, what were he waiting for when his life was at stake. Moreover, since they want to repay their kindness, why do they have to choose to make a move when the eldest prince is besieged, listening to their tone, it is obviously not that they have just learned about the eldest prince's intentions, shouldn't they have advised him to let go early in the morning, or directly helped him to ascend to the throne? With the current ability of the Ling family, this is not a small force for the Hongwen Party.
