Chapter 90
Yutang, who was sitting next to Ning Er, naturally heard these words, Yutang was old, but he was also very smart, although Ning Er did not speak at this time, but Yutang saw Ning Er's face change slightly, and knew the strictness of the matter, and was about to speak, but saw Ning Er call Xiao Er to come over to settle the bill.
"Mother......" Yutang also stood up.
"We have to go back first, Tang'er, if there is a chance in the future, my mother will take you out." You won't blame your mother, will you?" said Ning Er gently.
"How come, mother, let's go back!" Yutang said sensibly. The two rode back to Shen's house in a carriage.
When Ning Er took Yutang back to Qinghe Courtyard, Shen Yanling had just come back and was sitting by the lake alone. Ning Er was afraid that Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen would be worried, so she didn't tell them, and Yutang went back to the house by herself after returning home.
Shen Yanling saw that Ning Er's face was not good, so she pulled Ning Er to sit down by the lake and asked, "What's wrong?" Why is your face so ugly?"
Ning Er frowned and said to Shen Yanling: "Today I took Yutang to drink tea, and I heard some words in the teahouse. â
Shen Yanling only said that someone was talking about Ning'er's background, and after Shen Yanling returned to the Shen family, she never less, but persuaded: "You don't have to mind, it's us who want to live a lifetime, what do you have to do with others, I know that your good is enough." â
Ning Er shook her head, she had never been troubled by this, how could she be a modern person, how could she be defeated by some gossip of the ancients, and said: "I have never worried about this, I believe in you, and I also believe in grandparents." What I encounter today is about you. Today in the teahouse, there are people spreading rumors about your identity. â
"Rumors about me?" Shen Yanling frowned, there are not many people who know their identities at present, even Yunqiao and Shangguan Shuitong only know the identity of their secret door, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, I wish he was just a child of an ordinary family, although he knew his identity, he would never spread it, whether they formed a party for personal gain, or a dictatorship of power, they would not destroy Ouyang Lingqi's throne, then there would only be Ouyang Lingchen, as long as the news spread, Ouyang Lingqi would not trust the Shen family, so it was undoubtedly very beneficial to him.
"Don't worry, my identity is clear to the emperor, and he won't suspect me. Shen Yanling comforted.
Ning Er shook her head, "I'm not worried that he doesn't believe you, when I saw him that day, I could see that he really cherished and cared for you and Ouyang Lingxi." It's just that, just like the carp last time, I think the other party just wants to disturb a pool of spring water!"
"You're right, I think so too, it's just now, it's too late for us to stop it, wait and see, I'm curious now, what will the emperor do when he hears about it." Shen Yanling calmed down and said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will pull you back to the royal family?" asked Ning Er with her head tilted.
"I still look a little similar to my mother, during the big exam, Sun Shangshu guessed my identity after seeing me a few times, and most of the people who saw my mother back then could recognize me, that is, Yunqiao's mother, when she saw me, she also lost her mind for a moment, I guess, she guessed some of them. Shen Yanling said calmly. "Presumably, this matter will be shaken out sooner or later, so it's better to solve it all this time, lest someone make a fuss about it in the future. Besides, you are the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom, and you should have an identity worthy of you as a husband, right?"
Ning'er nodded, Shen Yanling said that it was not bad, instead of placing a time bomb at any time, it was better to detonate it early at the right time, "It's just, are you sure?" Ning'er was still not at ease.
Shen Yanling gently scratched Ning Er's nose and said with a smile: "Everything is for the husband, you don't have to worry, the power of the secret door is greater than you think, I usually use the secret guard, if necessary, you can also use the secret soldier, rest assured, there is a husband to guard, no one can shake the golden dragon lightly." â
The speed of the rumors spread extremely fast, and in the evening, even Shangguan Shuitong and Yunqiao knew about it. Both of them were very surprised by this matter, and ran to Taifu's mansion without caring about anything else.
Shangguan Shuitong cared about the eldest sister the most, and asked as soon as she came: "Sister, it is said that the brother-in-law is the prince who disappeared at the beginning, is this true?"
Ning Er naturally wouldn't deceive her younger brother, so she nodded to Shangguan Shuitong.
Yunqiao and Shangguan Shuitong saw Shen Yanling and his wife admitting it, and glanced at each other, Shangguan Shuitong frowned and said: "This news must not have been spread by you, so who could it be?" It's just that no matter who made this matter, it will be extremely unfavorable to you, if the emperor is suspicious of the Shen family, I'm afraid it will be a big mess!"
"My identity is clear to the emperor, so I don't have to worry about this, I'm worried about those who support the crown prince so-called. Shen Yanling said with a solemn face, after taking over the secret door, Shen Yanling also had some understanding of some things, the first emperor named him the crown prince, although he disappeared before he was a year old, but until the current emperor ascended the throne, the first emperor has never set up another prince, so there are also some officials in the court who support him, the prince who has never appeared, although the purpose is not necessarily simple.
"Yes, there have always been some officials who support His Royal Highness the original Crown Prince, and it seems that tomorrow morning's court will be lively! Third brother, do you want to join in the fun?" Yunqiao said.
"Isn't my brother-in-law not officially conferred an official yet, how can he enter the court?" Shangguan Shui said strangely, and Ning Er also looked at Shen Yanling.
"The secret door has the duty of supervising the country, although it rarely appears head-on, but when necessary, the master of the secret door can enter the court to supervise the country. Shen Yanling explained, "It's okay, there will be a good show to watch tomorrow." Besides, it's time for me, the lord of the secret door, to show my face, otherwise, they will probably forget my save. â
Early the next morning, Shen Yanling really went to the court with the guards early.
Shen Yanling is still dressed in white today, wearing a silver mask, standing in the court, and there is a feeling of imposing momentum. In the court, there are not many people who know that the secret door is in zĂ i, and now Shen Yanling appears in the court, except for the prime minister, Taifu, Taiwei Sangong and Dingbei Hou, Ningyang Marquis and other princes and nobles, only a few clan relatives know. And Shen Yanling suddenly appeared in the court, even if he knew that there was a secret door, he couldn't figure out Shen Yanling's intentions. And Shen Yanling herself, no matter what others think, just stands quietly in the hall, like a flock of chickens, a fallen immortal, although she doesn't see her face, she is still infinitely gorgeous.
When the emperor went to court, he was surprised for a moment when he saw Shen Yanling among the courtiers, but when he remembered the rumors that circulated yesterday, he understood, and secretly gritted his teeth, this kid was sure that he would not do anything to him, so he deliberately came over to see the excitement! Hmph, today I will let him eat deflated once.
The court meeting officially began, although the hundreds of officials in the audience were curious about Shen Yanling's appearance, but the emperor never spoke, so naturally he didn't dare to ask more. And Ouyang Lingchen, who was standing in front, had a gloomy face, he deliberately let people release Shen Yanling's rumors, according to his guess, even if the emperor knew Shen Yanling's identity, and even had the heart to reuse Shen Yanling, but Shen Yanling was a righteous prince after all, and the emperor could not be afraid of him, not to mention that there was a Shen family behind Shen Yanling, and the death of Queen Shen back then was probably inseparable from the current Queen Mother, Shen Yanling must not be without hatred, but he never thought that the master of the secret door who had never appeared head-on would appear at this time. How did he know that Ouyang Lingqi had always been very guilty about his younger brothers because of what his mother had done, whether it was Shen Yanling or Ouyang Lingxi, as long as they opened their mouths, it would be the throne, and he would also fulfill it, not to mention that Shen Yanling held a secret guard and secret soldier, if he wanted to take revenge, Ouyang Lingqi would not be able to sit here at all.
Soon after the discussion, someone mentioned the news that had been rumored yesterday. Shen Yanling and Ouyang Lingqi didn't stop them, they just looked at who they were, and then Ouyang Lingqi asked several important ministers, but Shen Yanling stood still from beginning to end, as if he was just watching.
After listening to the inscriptions of the ministers in the early stages, Ouyang Lingqi nodded quietly, and the expressions of the ministers were different, but Mrs. Shen was sincerely worried about Jin Longjiangshan and Shen Yanling. When the ministers of the court saw that the emperor was silent, they couldn't get the emperor's attitude, they only lowered their heads, the sacred heart was unpredictable, and no one could guess what the emperor was thinking.
After a long time, Ouyang Lingqi looked at Ouyang Lingchen who was looking down, although Ouyang Lingchen tried his best to keep his face calm, but Ouyang Lingqi saw the darkness in it. He has been giving Ouyang Lingchen a chance, and has been trying to warn him to give up, although he and Ouyang Lingchen are not as close as Shen Yanling and Ouyang Lingxi, but he has always regarded Ouyang Lingchen as a brother, but he didn't expect that now he not only wants to be his enemy, but also pulls Shen Yanling in.
Raising his head, Ouyang Lingqi looked down at the ministers below and said, "Shen Yanling is the original crown prince Ouyang Lingze's business, I already knew that when he returned to the capital, I originally intended to let him return to the royal family, but the imperial brother was unwilling." I felt that I owed the imperial brother for so many years, so I let him stay in the Shen family according to his wishes. Now, now that this matter has been revealed, I hereby recognize the identity of the imperial brother, which is to canonize Prince An and give the royal mansion, whether to return to the mansion or not, I will follow the emperor's brother's will!"
"My Emperor Shengming!" The ministers knelt down, but Shen Yanling squinted at Emperor Ouyang Lingqi, he thought about many possibilities, guessing that this emperor is not stupid, at this time, confusing the enemy will also make a little jealous of himself, who knew that he would take advantage of the situation to pull himself back to the royal family. At this time, Ouyang Lingqi still looked like he was inviting merit, and he really couldn't understand what he was proud of.
When he dispersed, although Ouyang Lingchen maintained a calm expression, it was not difficult to find the anger on his face when he looked closely. At this time, Shen Yanling followed Ouyang Lingqi into the imperial study. After retiring everyone, Shen Yanling looked at Ouyang Lingqi with displeasure and said, "Anyway, why did you do this?
