Although Chang Lehou has a weak temperament, he is an understanding person, and the Lian family is different. Even though her legs are paralyzed and she is not good at walking, she is trapped in prison every day, her brain is idle, and she has been calculating the power, money, and psychology of the Hou Mansion even more distorted.

When she heard the report from her subordinates and learned that the outside of the Hou Mansion was full of gift-givers, her mind became alive again, as if she saw the gold, silver and jewelry in the hands of those people beckoning to her, rolling in. She understands Chang Lehou's temperament, and with him, she will never find a suitable opportunity to make money.

So she persuaded Chang Lehou in a few words to go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to visit Chang Lingxi, who was already pregnant, and instructed him to leave.

Chang Lehou was a little uneasy, and when he left, he repeatedly told the porter not to let people in and disturb his wife's purity. As soon as he walked with his front foot, Lian couldn't hold it anymore, and ordered someone to lift him to a wheelchair, push him into the living room, and announce the person who asked for him into the house.

In this matter, the fifth aunt coincided with Lian's thoughts. The Lian family promised to give her some of the silver and jewelry obtained this time, buy a lot of dowry for Ling Luo, and then marry her off in style.

Therefore, the fifth aunt behaved very attentively, and without saying anything, she put those people into the mansion, and listened to them tell one by one their names, surnames, official positions, their relationship with the Changle Marquis's mansion, and the number of treasures presented, and recorded them in the book. The two of them were busy all day, and they sent them all away before Chang Lehou returned home.

Chang Lehou was kept in the dark, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he still felt wonderful, and the carriages and horses that were stubbornly guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion and waiting to see him were all gone. But although he doubted, he did not take it to heart.

Lian accepted bribes from others, sorted out all the lists according to the importance of the gifts, and then asked someone to bring Chang Lingyan in the palace. Naturally, along with the letters, there were some valuable gold and silver jewelry.

Chang Lingyan has no self-knowledge of her situation, so she naturally regards this as a trivial matter, and a few days ago, the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling were desperately consolidating power, which made her also unable to live with her own thoughts. She immediately took up a pen to revise the book, stamped it with her own treasure seal, and then gave it to Han Yuchu, who was in charge of the case, and explained that he should handle all the people on the list as appropriate, and show mercy to his subordinates.

The tone of the letter is commanding, and he is blunt about the matter of protection, and it is a holy decree to be free.

Han Yuchu often listened to Ling Xi talk about being bullied by Ling Yan in the Hou Mansion, and he was not used to Ling Yan's personality, but after receiving her letter, he immediately "killed his relatives with righteousness" and handed it over to Mo Guhan.

Mo Guhan is busy these days, and he can't take care of Chang Lingyan, who is jumping up and down. I didn't expect her to be so arrogant, and put her hand directly into her court.

Rong Xiang trotted and announced Chang Lingyan into the Qianqing Palace.

Mo Guhan and Yuehua had just had lunch, they were sitting drinking tea and laughing, and after the ecstatic Chang Lingyan entered the hall, he stepped forward happily and wanted to climb Mo Guhan's arm.

Mo Guhan put down the teacup in his hand and snorted in displeasure: "Did I allow you to get up?" ”

Chang Lingyan gently stroked his lower abdomen, and said with disgust: "Your Majesty, the concubine is stupid now, where can she still kneel?" ”

Mo Guhan was still expressionless, and he didn't look at her: "Do you want a guard to help you?" They are clumsy, but they don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Chang Lingyan shivered coldly, and was already sluggishly aware of the pressing cold coming from Mo Guhan's body.

"Your Majesty, I'm ......"

"I remember, it seems that since you entered the palace, you have never given the queen a proper courtesy. You relied on the support of the Queen Mother, and never put the Queen in your eyes. Today, I want you to kneel in front of Yuehua and pay back everything you owed before. ”

Chang Lingyan couldn't help but be stunned, she knew that now Chu Yuehua was favored, and she only thought that Yuehua had gotten some slander in front of Mo Guhan, so she didn't care, she just smiled at Yuehua: "Ling Yan thinks that she has a deep sisterhood with the queen, so she has never paid attention to these red tapes. If the queen's sister cared, Ling Yan was willing to kneel down and make amends. ”

Yuehua picked up the tea cup in her hand, slowly turned the lid of the cup, lowered her eyes and said nothing. When I went to greet the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the past, I saw that they often played with tea cups in their hands, and I was strange, but today I learned that it was really a good way to hide their emotions.

Chang Lingyan saw that Chu Yuehua did not mean to stop him at all, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, but what he said was difficult to collect, and then he looked at Mo Guhan, his face was cold, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

The palace people who were waiting beside her wanted to step forward to help, but Mo Gu glared at him coldly: "Get out!" ”

This sentence made the people of the palace almost lose their souls, and they withdrew tremblingly, almost softening their knees.

Chang Lingyan saw that Mo Guhan was really angry, and slowly knelt down in understanding. Because it had just fallen into autumn, there was no carpet on the ground, and I knelt on the hard bluestone ground, and my knees ached.

She raised her face pitifully, and her eyes were full of tears at Mo Guhan: "Your Majesty, what mistake did the concubine make, you have to punish the concubine like this." ”

Mo Guhan sneered: "Even now, you still don't understand?" ”

Chang Lingyan shook his head: "Chang Zhiyi rebelled, the concubine didn't know about it, and she has been under house arrest, and she can't do anything. ”

"Oh? Is it? Mo Guhan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Doesn't the emperor understand what Ling Yan thinks about you? Heaven can tell! ”

Mo Guhan nodded thoughtfully, leaning lazily on the back of his chair, these days of busyness really made him physically and mentally exhausted. Originally, she didn't want to deal with Chang Lingyan in such a hurry, but unfortunately she didn't know what to do and bumped into the tip of the knife.

He threw the envelope in his hand coldly in front of her: "This is what you have for me?" ”

Chang Lingyan's face had changed when he saw the familiar envelope. She picked up the envelope from the ground with trembling hands, and barely tugged at the corners of her lips: "Concubine, concubine ......"

"I didn't know that my Concubine Lian had such great ability, and her hand actually reached into my court and directly issued a holy decree to my minister. I really underestimated it. ”

Chang Lingyan was picked up by Lian's letters, and he was already arrogant and accustomed to compliments from his subordinates, and he was not aware of the seriousness of the matter, feeling that this was a personal favor, and extrajudicial favors were just ordinary things.

Now seeing Mo Gu's cold voice and mocking, Fang Cai's heart trembled, and he kowtowed again and again: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, it is the concubine who does not know the severity, and the concubine is confused for a while." ”

"It turns out that Concubine Lian knows that such a thing can't be done. I still thought that Concubine Lian was just arrogant and used to it, too stupid and ignorant. ”

The more Mo Guhan understated it, the more frightened Chang Lingyan felt. She kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The emperor spares his life, and the concubine will never dare anymore." The concubine just thinks that the queen's sister is a model for the six palaces, so she takes the queen's sister as a model in everything. ”

Mo Guhan has been busy with government and politics these days, and the situation is somewhat chaotic, and he has no skills, so many things are handed over to Yuehua to deal with, and some things in the government are not shy about Yuehua.

In this regard, the Queen Mother, Concubine Ling and others naturally had a lot of criticism behind them, accusing Yuehua of participating in politics.

If Chang Lingyan was smarter, he would have confessed his sins and begged for mercy. But the habit is difficult to change, and at such a juncture, he still doesn't forget to climb the moon, and Mo Guhan suddenly became angry.

"Hehe" he sneered: "You want to compare with the queen?" ”

Chang Lingyan lowered his head: "Lingyan doesn't dare." ”

Mo Guhan stood up, walked to Chang Lingyan step by step, stood still in front of her, and condescended: "Don't you dare?" Is there anything else in this world that you often dare not dare to? ”

Chang Lingyan raised a lovely face, and tears welled up in his eyelashes: "What does the emperor mean by this?" Ling Yan admitted that he had not done anything wrong to provoke the queen. ”

"Do you dare to say that you have not done any heinous evil? Do you think that if I didn't pursue some things at the time, I forgave you? At the beginning, you were planning to force Yuehua out of the Forbidden City, but you still didn't give up, and you had to put her to death. Do you think I don't know that you sent someone to kill her? ”

Chang Lingyan's body was shocked, and he shook his head chaotically: "No, no, the concubine is wronged." ”

"Wronged? Sent someone to kidnap Chang Lingxi, in order to enter the palace and kill his own mother, one by one, one by one, ruthless and vicious, not as good as beasts, do you need me to explain it to you in detail? ”

Mo Guhan's voice was not loud, but it was so cold that even Yuehua, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but tremble with his fingertips.

Chang Lingyan was even more shocked and trembled, still stiff in his mouth: "This is all because they framed the concubine, and the concubine is innocent." ”

"Cold Palace, or a white silk, choose yourself."

Chang Lingyan's eyes widened in shock, and his face was full of disbelief: "Your Majesty, do you want to blame Ling Yan?" Do you want Ling Yan to go to that kind of place and never see the emperor again in your life? Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and she will definitely not commit such a foolish thing again in the future. Please, don't! ”

Mo Guhan shook his head helplessly: "Chang Lingyan, you are really too stupid, do you think that I really want to blame you just because of these things?" ”

"What's the reason for that? Your Majesty, even if you want to give Ling Yan the death penalty, you must let Ling Yan understand what the crime is, right? ”

Mo Guhan looked at her with disgust, and snorted coldly: "From the first day you pretended to be Yuehua and approached me, your life has actually been temporarily deposited. Do you think I really like a stupid and arrogant woman like you? ”

Chang Lingyan was stunned in place, and only after a while did he turn his dull eyes with difficulty: "The Empress Dowager once said that you canonized me just because you were jealous of the Chang family, and you wanted to stabilize the Empress Dowager temporarily, so your favor for me is all fake, is it true?" ”

Mo Guhan didn't look at her, and said in an extremely cold voice: "Yuehua wanted to vomit when she saw you at that time, and I, when I saw you, I hated to kill you immediately." I endured it very hard. ”

"Nope! I don't believe it! Chang Lingyan let out a long cry: "Could it be that we have been together for so many days and nights, and the gentleness is fake?" Are you all acting on the spot? A hundred days of husband and wife, not to mention that we have been in the same bed for so long, even a stone should be warm, right? You can be ruthless to me, but you can't be so cruel as to ignore your own children, right? ”

Mo Guhan bent down slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "You are blindfolded every time, are you sure that the person who is entangled with you is me?" ”
