"Suffer? Will I lose? Will I? Ling Yuyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the expression on her face made Lily of the Valley feel cold all around: "Master, ......" Lily of the Valley didn't know what else she could say, so she stopped Ling Yuyan from continuing to go crazy, the corners of her mouth moved, and finally called Ling Yuyan with difficulty.

"Go back to your room and rest, and I'll sit in the room for a while." Ling Yuyan sat down on the chair and waved her hand at Lily of the Valley with her eyes down.

Outside the door, Ling Hui heard this, hurriedly hid behind a column in the dark, watched Lily of the Valley walk out of the house, and returned to her own room.

The moonlight is bright and clean, and it is intoxicating.

Mingcui Courtyard, a scene under the cherry blossom forest, has an indescribable warmth, but it reveals a touch of sadness. In a short period of time, the white cherry blossoms will be scattered like snow.

"Princess, it's cold in the middle of the night, let's wake up the county lord and go back to the room to sleep!"

"This kid hasn't seen Mo'er and Shuang'er for some days, and he thinks about it tightly, so he will run to this cherry blossom forest every day, it's okay, isn't this palace putting a cloak on her, let her sleep again." The eldest princess caressed the hair of the county lord of Qingyang lovingly, and said a word to Mama Gui.

Mama Gui is the grandmother of the eldest princess of Showa, she is over the age of sixties, but she does not look old, if you don't pay attention to her silver hair, you can see that she is in her early fifties, and when she heard the eldest princess of Showa say this, Mama Gui didn't say anything.

The snow-white cherry blossom forest, the moon shines, like a silver ocean, they compete to bloom in the night, as if racing against time, want to put their most beautiful style, bloom when life reaches the limit, the night breeze blows, like a white brocade floating in the moonlight sea, bright and flawless, beautiful.

As the wind blows, the moonlight seems to ripple.

The eldest princess lowered her head, and her beautiful and graceful face showed her sadness. Let the falling flowers dye her shoulders.

At this moment, the county lord of Qingyang is quiet and comfortable, and the goose-yellow skirt is spread on the bamboo couch. She lay on her side, her arms bent on the pillow, leaning lightly on the eldest princess's lap, breathing in the scent of the cherry blossoms around her.

There are also a lot of cherry blossom petals floating on her body, and in her dream, she seems to have a sweet dream, and she can't help but chuckle, and her laughter causes the sadness on the face of the eldest princess of Showa, which is even more.

"If I were gone, would this child still live so carefree?" Saying that, the eldest princess of Showa coughed one after another, she wanted to hold back, but the heartfelt cough couldn't help her, "Princess, let's go back to the house!" With tears in her eyes, Mama Gui persuaded the eldest princess, "Sit for a while, just for a while." The eldest princess removed the white silk handkerchief covering the corners of her mouth, looked at the little blood stains on it, and said sadly: "Mama knows, the time of this palace is running out, no, it should be in these two days, this palace is going to find a horse!" However, the palace can't rest assured that Ling'er, and there is a message from the Rongguo Mansion that the queen wants to point out Huixin to King Qi as a concubine, how can this be good? ”

The queen's body couldn't move, but her brain was running at a high speed, thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking about it, and thinking about it, she felt that Rong Huixin, the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, was the most suitable to be the princess of Qi. The Rongguo Mansion plays a pivotal role in the court, with the Rongguo Mansion supporting the King of Qi behind the scenes, and the chances of King Huai and King Yu wanting to compete for the position of the prince are one percent less.

The Prime Minister's Mansion supports King Qi, needless to say, as for the Jing'an Hou Mansion, the queen has already sent a message to Xuanyuan Qing with Cui Hai, asking him to be as good as possible to the two sisters Ling Yuyan and Ling Yushan recently, so that the two of them can talk in front of Jing'an Hou, so as to support King Qi to win the position of prince.

No matter how capable Ling Wushuang is, the fact that King Lu is a fool can't be changed no matter what, so even if Jing Anhou is wavering in his heart, if he wants to support King Lu, he will think twice. The concubine is a daughter, and the concubine is also, for the glory and wealth of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, if Jing'an Hou is not stupid, then the person he wants to support will be self-evident.

is so budget-conscious, the queen really took a lot of brains.

Mama Gui's voice was a little sad, and she said, "What is the princess talking about, you have your own nature." And the princess is kind, God won't just take the princess away! When Mama Gui said this, she covered her mouth with her hand, and wept silently, and after a long time, she continued: "As long as the princess is well, can the county lord live every day happily." As for Miss Huixin, her affairs are to be worried about by Rong Guogong, and the princess doesn't have to think about it. ”

"Mama, there are some things you don't know, really, there are some things you don't know! This palace, this palace is not as good as you say. The eldest princess shook her head a little sadly, recruited the maidservant girl to carry the soft sedan chair over, moved the Qingyang county lord to the soft sedan chair, and then turned her head to Gui Mama and said: "Mama will go to the house with the palace to sit in the house, and the palace has something to explain to you." ”

"Yes!"

Mama Gui bowed, followed behind the soft sedan chair, and walked out of the cherry blossom forest.

Night, silence; Moon, cool.

The eldest princess returned to the dormitory, placed the lord of Qingyang, and entered her own house with the support of the maidservant.

"Mama Gui stays, you all rest!" The eldest princess waved her hand to the maidservant standing in the inner room and commanded.

"Yes!"

The handmaidens answered, turned and walked away.

The eldest princess walked to the dresser, took a delicate little square box, sat down on the soft couch, and raised her hand to signal Mama Gui to sit beside her.

"It's good for the old slave to stand." Mama Gui has been in the palace for half her life, the royal rules, she keeps it in mind, the master gives a little face, she can't climb up the pole, so she politely rejected the kindness of the eldest princess.

"Mama, the time of this palace is running out, why can't you follow this palace once. The rules are set by people, this palace lets you sit, you sit, you don't need to talk so many rules! The eldest princess put the square box in her hand on the low table in front of her, and her words were tinged with a hint of loneliness. Mama Gui was silent for a while, then moved to the eldest princess and sat down.

"Before the palace married the concubine, he had a very good relationship with the two young ladies in the prime minister's mansion, especially with the eldest lady." The eldest princess looked at Mama Gui and talked about the past: "Their sisters are almost exactly the same, but their temperaments are different. My sister has a gentle and gentle personality, and my sister is well-behaved. However, this palace, like the royal brother, doesn't like that sister from the bottom of her heart, and always feels that her sister is deliberately pretending to be well-behaved to please everyone. ”

Mama Gui quietly listened to what the eldest princess said, and when the eldest princess said this, she paused slightly, sighed, and said: "The royal brother and sister are in love, how can my sister also have a deep love for the imperial brother." Seeing that Mama Gui was puzzled, the eldest princess continued: "Once, Bengong and the imperial brother went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, and naturally the imperial brother went to find his sister to talk about it, and Bengong sat on the side, looking at the happiness on the faces of the two of them, and at that time, Bengong found that the sister was well-behaved to everyone, which may be disguised. Because in her eyes when she looked at the imperial brother and her sister, there was not only a deep envy, but also an indescribable hatred! ”

"Hate?" Mama Gui was so shocked that she suddenly spoke: "The princess is saying that the second daughter of the Prime Minister hates the emperor and her sister?" ”

The eldest princess nodded, sat down in a comfortable position, and said, "Yes, the hatred in her eyes is very strong. But the strange thing is that not long after the father and the emperor named the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the emperor's brother and concubine, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly became seriously ill and died. Mama, don't you think that's a little too strange? Mama Gui nodded, the eldest princess frowned, and then said: "The palace talked to the imperial brother about this matter at that time, but the imperial brother was full of only thinking about the big wedding, thinking that he could stay with the beloved woman for a long time, and he didn't take what the palace said to heart." ”

"Princess, is there anything wrong with the current queen?" When Mama Gui asked, the eldest princess knew in her heart, she raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, leaned on the soft pillow, and said very tiredly: "This palace can't say it, but there is one thing that this palace can tell you, that is, this palace doesn't like her, just like it doesn't like the second lady, I don't like her." Therefore, for so many years, the main palace has not been going to walk around the palace. ”

Mama Gui lowered her eyes and thought for a while, raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess, and said in a low voice: "Does the princess know what the identity of King Lu's mother is?" Mama Gui asked this sentence, and her heart mentioned slightly, she was afraid that the eldest princess would be angry because of this, but the corner of the eldest princess's mouth overflowed with a wry smile, and said: "Mo'er's mother, this palace feels that it has a great relationship with the identity of the queen. But if you really want to say which of their sisters his mother is, this palace is still a little unclear. The eldest princess's heart may be very bright, but the problem is that what she said, Emperor Yongjia may not believe it.

Because of Emperor Yongjia's love for the queen, others are not allowed to question the queen's identity even a little.

However, now there is a gap between Emperor Yongjia and the queen because of the stupid king, but the eldest princess doesn't know it.

If she knew Emperor Yongjia's current attitude towards the queen, she might be able to help Silly King and Ling Wushuang, and find out where Queen Lu was from the queen's mouth as soon as possible.

Quiet, the eldest princess's words fell, and the room was silent, only the sound of her and Mama Gui's shallow breathing came out.

After a long time, the eldest princess sat up, took out a written letter from the box, handed it to Mama Gui, and said: "This letter was written by me last night, and after I leave, you can transfer it to Princess Lu, and after taking her to read the letter, you may be able to figure out the identity of Princess Lu, which one it is." ”

"Princess......" Mama Gui's hands trembled, and she took the letter handed over by the eldest princess, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped.

She knew that the eldest princess was explaining to her what was going on.

The eldest princess waved her hand and said lightly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal things in the world. I hope that after Princess Lu reads this letter from the palace, she will be more devoted to Ling'er. Mama Gui touched her tears with her sleeve and said, "Princess Lu is a good one, she will definitely treat the county lord well." The eldest princess nodded with sadness in her eyes, and then said: "Huixin's matter, the palace informed Rongguo Gong, and asked him to marry Huixin as soon as possible, so as to cut off the queen's thoughts......"

"Cough cough cough cough ......" The eldest princess said half of her words, her uncomfortable hand covered her mouth, coughing as if she was in the cherry blossom forest just now, Gui Mama hurriedly took a clean handkerchief and handed it to the eldest princess, "vomit ......" With this retching, the eldest princess suddenly overflowed a mouthful of blood from her mouth, "Princess......" Gui Mama hurriedly stood up, supported the eldest princess who was about to fall on the couch, and called out in tears.

The eldest princess lay in Mama Gui's arms, pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty, and smiled.

The smile was very light and faint: "This palace, this palace is really reluctant to leave Ling'er like this." But the colt had been alone in that cold place for too long, and he needed the palace to accompany him; Hehe! It's not right, it's not right......" The eldest princess's words came a little incoherently, and she thought at this time whether it was because she didn't expose the disguise of the second daughter of the prime minister's mansion in front of everyone, so that God punished her and punished her for leaving her early and leaving this world.

A crystal sparkled down her pale face.

"Princess, you will be fine, you will be fine. The old slave will go and ask the doctor for you. Mama Gui flattened the eldest princess's body, let her lie comfortably on the pillow, wiped the blood stains on the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and was about to leave, "No, Mama don't go, it's useless, it's useless!" The palace has reached the point where the oil is exhausted, so why continue to toss! The eldest princess grabbed Gui's hand and didn't let Gui leave.

"Okay, the old slave doesn't go, the old slave doesn't go!" Mama Gui sat on the side of the eldest princess's couch and held the eldest princess's hand, "The princess must be tired after talking for so long, the princess has a good rest, and the old slave is here to guard the princess!" ”

The eldest princess nodded slightly, her eyes closed, and the sound of light breathing resounded in the room.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the atmosphere in Prime Minister Ke Cheng's study was extremely cold.

"You two guys also tell us what you think?" Prime Minister Ke Cheng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the moonlight outside the window, and said a word to Ke Ziqian and Ke Zinan.

After a long time, Ke Ziqian said: "How can there be so many masters lurking in the dark in King Lu's Mansion, if it weren't for them, our people would not have all suffered casualties!" According to his son, Ling Wushuang's identity is by no means simple! As he spoke, Ke Ziqian clenched his fists together. Aren't there still people out there? Recall them immediately and protect our Prime Minister's Mansion! Ke Zinan stood up, walked behind Prime Minister Ke Cheng, and said in a slightly trembling voice.

"Recall? How is it recalled? For their father, they gave them a death order, if they can't get rid of Ling Wushuang this time, they don't have to go back to Beijing to restore their lives! Prime Minister Ke Cheng glared at Ke Zinan angrily, "When something happens, you panic, what kind of system is this?" The dignified seven-foot man has no backbone at all, and the more Ke Cheng looks, the more he feels that Ke Zinan is an eyesore, and says: "Go up on the chair!" ”

"Oh!"

Ke Zinan responded weakly, returned to the chair and sat down, his expression was full of trance, in the morning he learned that the courtyard outside the city* was burned to ashes, and the three of them sat in the study, and they had been discussing countermeasures, but it was late at night, and he still hadn't discussed a specific way to come out, could this make him not anxious and worried?

"Do you mean to say that those masters lurking in King Lu's mansion are people that Ling Wushuang has secretly cultivated?" Prime Minister Ke Cheng sat down after walking back to the bookcase, looked at Ke Ziqian, and said, "She is a woman in the boudoir, does she have that much ability?" ”

"Dad, don't forget that Ling Wushuang is not a simple boudoir woman, not to mention her illusory goddess identity, that is, her extraordinary martial arts, do you think a boudoir woman should have?" Ke Ziqian stood up and said to Prime Minister Ke Cheng what he thought in his heart, "The martial arts on Ling Wushuang's body will not be practiced in a day or two, so it is not difficult to see that in the past, she deliberately disguised her edge and ended up in the name of straw bag waste. ”

When Prime Minister Ke Cheng heard Ke Ziqian say this, his brows furrowed, and he was puzzled: "Why did she do this?" As far as her father knows, she is very fond of King Qi, if she was the same as she is today, do you think King Qi will abandon her and marry her sister? Ke Ziqian shook his head and said, "This son hasn't thought about it deeply. However, those masters lurking in King Lu's mansion, his son was right to think that they were Ling Wushuang's people. ”

"Dad, big brother, what's the use of you talking about this now?" Ke Zinan sat for a while, he was really depressed, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Let's help the queen sink into the depths like this, if we can't avoid the disaster of destruction, in my opinion, let's stop it!" As soon as Prime Minister Ke Cheng's words in Ke Zinan's mouth fell, he slapped the book case angrily and said, "Stop? Tell your father how to stop it? There's something that Father hasn't mentioned to you brothers. ”

Hearing Prime Minister Ke Cheng say this, Ke Ziqian and Ke Zinan raised their eyes to look at Prime Minister Ke Cheng in unison, waiting for his later words.

"One night, Twilight sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion alone and forced his father to ask about Princess Lu's mother. He said that someone entrusted Qingfeng Lou to find out the current life and death of Princess Lu. ”

"Dad, what did you say?"

Ke Ziqian's heart was lifted suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The prestige of the night, the royal families of all countries are afraid of it, let alone ordinary people? Being able to be found at night can only show that he has some control over what he wants to do, otherwise, he will never be easy to pave, so that he will startle the snake.

And the person behind the scenes who can ask Twilight to personally go out to find out about Queen Mother Lu must have an extraordinary relationship with Twilight.

Ke Ziqian didn't dare to think about it, he didn't expect that their family's own private affairs would actually alarm the Night Emperor to intervene in the night.

"My father didn't say anything, but this doesn't rule out that Twilight has doubts about the identity of the queen and the identity of Queen Mother Lu." Prime Minister Ke Cheng leaned back on the chair and said a little weakly: "What your mother said inadvertently that night is probably more solid in the heart of the night, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Queen, and our Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Ke Cheng sighed, and continued: "In the palace, Concubine Rong seems to be suspicious of the queen's identity, this series of things, recently, has caused the father to rest badly, so, no matter what, you two brothers have to come up with a proper way for the father tonight." Otherwise, our prime minister is afraid that it will really be more auspicious! ”

"Concubine Rong? Dad, how could Concubine Rong be suspicious of the queen's identity? Didn't she always stay in her own palace and not move around? Ke Ziqian held back the panic in his heart and asked Prime Minister Ke.

He really didn't expect that a wave would not settle down, and another wave would arise.

If it continues to intensify like this, it will eventually reveal flaws, and in the end, not to mention the queen, what will happen to the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the lives of their people, I am afraid that they will not be protected.

"The matter of King Li, Concubine Rong is counted on the head of King Qi. can enter the harem, give birth to the prince, and raise the prince to adulthood, do you think she can have a few trump cards in her hands? Prime Minister Ke Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ke Ziqian, and said: "Concubine Rong and the queen's Liangzi are because of the matter of King Li, if you want Concubine Rong to stop, one is to kill Concubine Rong's mouth, and the other is to find a way to prove that King Li is indeed not injured by King Qi, but someone else." But these two things are not easy to do, if Concubine Rong is destroyed, the emperor will definitely suspect the queen, the emperor's attitude towards the queen in recent times, I think you also know it in your hearts, and it is even more difficult to find out the person who really hurt King Li! ”

"Dad, do you think King Li will be injured at night? Also, even those masters who appeared in King Lu's Mansion could be the people sent by the night? Ke Zinan said weakly.

After Ke Zinan's reminder, Prime Minister Ke Cheng's eyes sank, and said: "After my father left that night, did I think that it was Ling Wushuang who asked me to find out about Queen Mother Lu at night, but how did Ling Wushuang get in touch with Night, which is really incomprehensible for my father?" Ke Ziqian twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and said: "Dad, most of you have been in poor spirits recently, some time ago, the flood in the south, the news of the return to the capital, you haven't heard of it, what kind of business Qingfeng Lou does, we all know it tightly in our hearts, since Ling Wushuang can take out so much silver taels to help the people, then, what is impossible for her to find out about the matter of Queen Mother Lu in Qingfeng Building?" ”

Prime Minister Ke Cheng bowed: "What you said is also right, Qingfeng Lou does business, the word is the first, as long as there are enough chips, please go out in person at night, there is nothing impossible." At this point, the light in Prime Minister Ke Cheng's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he said, "So, I gave a death order for my father, so that they must get rid of Ling Wushuang this time!" ”

Regarding Ke Ziqian's last words, Ke Ziqian and Ke Zinan did not respond silently.

It's just because their brothers don't know the bottom of their hearts.

"Dad, why don't we send our mother and children to another place to settle down first, lesp, lest we ......" Ke Zinan raised his eyes to look at Prime Minister Ke Cheng and said in a slurred manner.

"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Ke Cheng scolded Ke Zinan, and then said, "Are you confused? The woman in the house and the child disappeared together, which is strange if it does not arouse the suspicion of others! Do you want to kill the lives of our ministers early? Ke Zinan shook his head in a panic and replied: "The child doesn't, the child just wants to leave some blood for our Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Ke Cheng was almost half angry by Ke Zinan's words, he gasped a few times, pointed at Ke Zinan, and glared angrily: "You, do you have to be angry with your father so that you won't talk nonsense?" Yes? Now that nothing has happened, you think everything is in bad terms! ”

"Didn't the boy think of the worst! If that day comes, it will be too late to settle the children! Ke Zinan lowered his head and whispered.
