Chapter Twenty-Six: Talking Secrets at Night

It was when Ri Ling walked to the door of Daigo Hall that he found that Dong Qilin had also followed.

"I don't know what the emperor is doing here late at night?" There was no expression on Liling's face, if it was cold before, it was indifferent now.

"I've come to see you." Dong Qilin himself didn't know why he unconsciously walked behind her, he had never done it before.

"Is the emperor afraid that his concubines will kill themselves?" Pear Ling stiffly pulled out a little smile, she will kill herself? Although she is not a good person, she will not let hundreds of people from the Prime Minister's Mansion accompany her to the funeral (1).

"It's not." Dong Qilin didn't know what to say, it seemed that he had good intentions to come to see her, but others didn't welcome her, if she really killed herself, then she didn't have to think so much about herself.

"If it's okay, the emperor will please go back, and Nan Fei will send me off." After saying that, Ri Ling walked into the Daigo Hall.

Dong Qilin didn't seem to hear Liling's words, so he followed Liling into the main hall and followed Liling into the inner room.

Riri's attention was all on what she had taken back from Flower Silhouette, and she didn't notice that Dong Qilin was behind her.

Ri Ling took a deep breath and was about to spread out what she was holding in her hand, but was interrupted by Dong Qilin.

"What's in your hand?"

Li Ling was really startled when she heard Dong Qilin's voice, so she said coldly: "The emperor doesn't rest in the middle of the night, but he comes to scare these ignorant women like the concubines. ”

Dong Qilin automatically ignored Liling's words and frowned; "I ask you what you have"

"The concubines don't know." Liling shook her head and said with a sad expression: "It's my mother's relic." ”

Dong Qilin felt that Li Ling didn't want to be in this palace more and more, and now that her mother was dead, Li Jingzong had nothing to threaten her, she lost the role of a chess piece, and he had no intersection with her anymore.

Dong Qilin looked at the pear girl who was holding the things left by the flower silhouette, and suddenly seemed to see what he looked like after the death of Concubine Li, so Dong Qilin walked over and hugged the pear girl from behind.

Pear Ling was startled when Dong Qilin hugged her, and Pear Ling instinctively wanted to struggle.

"Don't move, let me hug you." Dong Qilin spoke: "Do you know that Empress Dowager Yu is not my mother? I was only a few years old when my mother, Concubine Li, died. ”

Dong Qilin's words instantly made Pear Ling not struggle, Concubine Li? No wonder Dong Qilin wants to give her a title, otherwise she will have the surname "pear", and glass and pear have the same sound.

"Why have concubines never heard of it?" Such a big thing should have been heard of by the world a long time ago, but Li Ling had never heard of it, and he didn't even know that the emperor had such a concubine as Concubine Li.

"Except for the queen mother's henchmen, no one in the palace knows, and she even thinks that I don't know, after all, I was too young at the time, but I remember it clearly." Dong Qilin's jaw rested on Liling's shoulder, and the hand holding Liling became harder and harder.

Li Ling didn't exhale pain, she knew that Dong Qilin must have thought of the scene when Concubine Li died, he was still such a young child at the time, thinking that such a thing must be unforgettable, Li Ling forgot that Dong Qilin was the emperor for a while, and just wanted to comfort and comfort him.

"The emperor mourns, Concubine Li is not a normal death." Pear Ling asked Dong Qi in an affirmative tone.

"If it's a normal death, why doesn't anyone in the palace know about the existence of Concubine Li?!" Dong Qilin's voice was a little resentful, but it was a pity that even if he was the emperor, he still couldn't find out the truth of the year and avenge his mother, which has always been his most ashamed place.

Li Ling knew what Dong Qilin was thinking in her heart, but she ......, "Since the emperor is not born to the queen mother, why did she support the emperor instead of her biological king of Nanping?" Li Ling asked her doubts, and she speculated that Concubine Li's death was inseparable from the Queen Mother.

"Hmph, the sixth brother was not born to her, and Empress Dowager Yu had to settle for a princess." Dong Qilin said coldly.

Li Ling listened to Dong Qilin's words, it was impossible not to be shocked, it seemed that the Queen Mother had a lot of blood debts in her hands, but she didn't understand, why did Dong Qilin tell her these secrets? Just because she also lost her mother?

"The concubine wants to make a deal with the emperor." Ri Ling thought for a moment and spoke.

"Another deal? That's how you like to make deals with me? Dong Qilin frowned, feeling a little funny, this woman always likes to be like this, in this situation, shouldn't she be sad?

"The emperor helped the concubine find out the assassin who killed my mother, and the concubine helped the emperor find out who killed Concubine Li, after all, the emperor was in the previous dynasty, and it was inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the harem, and the concubine was in the harem, so she could naturally help the emperor do what the emperor couldn't do." Rika regained her usual way of speaking.

"I promised you, but why didn't you let me let you out of the palace this time?" Dong Qilin looked at Liling with some amusement, this woman is really ...... Larger than life.

"Since the emperor has promised his concubines, shouldn't the emperor go back to the Chengqian Palace to rest?" Ri Ling has a sense of sending off guests, she doesn't want the earth to rest in Daigo.

"I'll sleep here today." As he spoke, he walked directly to the bed of the pear ling.

Li Ling was anxious, and hurriedly went to Ladong to pray for him, "Your Majesty, it's not in accordance with the rules for you to rest here." ”

"Today is special, there are assassins outside, it is dangerous for me to go out like this, do you want me to fall into the hands of the assassins?" Dong Qilin is quite a bit of a scoundrel.

Seeing such a Dong Qi Lin, Li Ling couldn't cry or laugh. In the end, she could only go with him, and she rested on the soft couch, not to mention, she couldn't sleep at all tonight.

One moment I remembered the things of my childhood, and the other I remembered that the silhouette of the flower was covered in blood.

I don't know how long it took for Pear Ling to fall asleep unconsciously.

She seemed to be dreaming, dreaming of the silhouette of flowers, dreaming of him braiding herself, dreaming of butterflies and flowers in her childhood garden.

Dong Qilin didn't fall asleep at all, he looked at the pear on the soft couch by a little moonlight, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, I thought it was a dream of something good, Dong Qilin thought.

Note: (1): The suicide of concubines is to destroy the whole family, therefore, many concubines die of illness and old age, but few commit suicide.
