Chapter 120: The Queen Mother is invited
The acuity of people who practice martial arts is much more sensitive than ordinary people, Ling Ruoyi is the best among the agents, she has just been hiding her edge, but when danger strikes, she will instinctively resist.
I saw that Bingyu and Xia Liyan were entangled and fighting with the man in black with a long sword in their hands, and she could only be anxious if she didn't know martial arts, although there were also poisonous needles hidden next to the pillow to defend herself, it was limited to a relatively open space, and it was to take advantage of his unpreparedness, and today's black-clothed people are obviously professionally trained killers, and the internal strength of martial arts does not seem to be under Bingyu and Xia Liyan.
Suddenly, a long sword of a man in black stabbed in the direction of Ling Ruoxuan, Ling Ruohui quickly pulled out a long needle from under the pillow and stabbed it towards the door in front of the man, and the man turned around neatly and dodged.
With a whistle, all the black-clothed people quickly withdrew, Xia Liyan chased out with a long sword, only to see that all the guards outside the door fell to the ground, from which it can be judged that the people who came were first eliminated by the guards before attacking the people in the room, and there are only a handful of people with such skills in Lixia Country.
Bingyu got dressed, helped Ling Ruoyi out, and when she saw the palace maids, eunuchs and guards lying on the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward and sniffed, but fortunately they were all just stunned, "Bingyu, go to the side hall to see Mu'er and Mengchun." ”
At this time, she was most worried about the two girls, they didn't know martial arts, and they didn't even have anything to defend themselves. Xu Bingyu walked back quickly, "Miss, they're fine, the two of them were just ordered to sleep." ”
Immediately, Mu'er and Mengchun rubbed their eyes and walked out, and when they saw so many people lying outside the hall, they suddenly woke up and quickly surrounded them, "Miss, what's going on?" Mu'er said in horror.
"It's okay, someone stabbed me just now." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
Hearing this, the three girls gasped, are they okay? Someone stabbed. Her young lady is really calm enough, and she can say it so easily.
"My young lady, someone has assassinated, why are you still so calm." Mu'er said hurriedly.
"The martial arts of those black-clothed people are on par with yours, if you really want our lives, the entire Tianci Palace is now a room of dead people, and Mu'er and Mengchun, as well as these guards, palace maids, and eunuchs, will not be as simple as being stunned."
"That's right, Yi'er analyzed it very thoroughly, it seems that those people in black are just here to test the truth." Xia Liyan said lightly.
"Mengchun, Mu'er, go to my room and bring the medicine, and wake them up first."
"Yes, miss."
Suddenly, Mu'er and Mengchun walked out with two bottles, uncorked the bottles, and shook them gently under everyone's noses, and within a quarter of an hour, the people who were still unconscious just now all woke up leisurely.
Everyone woke up and saw the gloomy faces of the two masters standing in front of them, and suddenly, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Prince, the princess spares her life." ”
"Get up, it's none of your business, just keep going on errands." Ling Ruoyi opened her mouth coldly. Then he turned around and took the three girls who were close to him into the front hall.
Xia Liyan also entered the front hall afterwards, Mengchun gently closed the door, walked behind Ling Ruohui and stood still, while Mu'er carefully took out a cloak with blue water from the inner room and draped it on Ling Ruoyi's body.
"Yi'er, you can go to sleep in peace, I will guard it."
"It's okay, they won't come again, just when you were fighting, I saw that those people made a sharp move but it was not a killing move, and they only calmly responded to your attack, so it can be seen that their martial arts are definitely not under you, if they really have the intention to kill us, they will not be merciful everywhere, and they didn't make a move to me at the beginning, obviously knowing that I don't know martial arts, and the last sword was also stabbed, I'm afraid the other party didn't expect that I still had a poison needle hidden under the pillow to defend myself."
Ling Ruoyi's mind clearly analyzed what had just happened, Bingyu also nodded, expressing her agreement with Ling Ruohui's opinion, those martial arts are indeed not weak, and there are more people than them, if they really have the intention of killing, she and the prince are really not opponents.
Thinking of this, Bingyu said in a deep voice, "Miss, then who do you think did it tonight?" ”
"It must be the two daughters of the Jade Concubine, their mother failed to murder our young lady, and was given death by the emperor, they must be the ones who hate our young lady the most." Mu'er said indignantly.
"I don't think so, if they really want to kill Miss, then why don't those people kill them?" Mengchun retorted.
"Oh, Mengchun, don't excuse those two villains, they must have harmed our young lady."
"Makes sense." Ling Ruoyi spoke lightly.
"Mengchun, look, Miss also said that I was right." Mu'er said with a smile.
Ling Ruoxuan smiled lightly and continued to speak, "I mean what Mengchun said makes sense. ”
"Miss." Mu'er pouted and coquettishly.
"If it was really those two princesses, they would definitely take my life, so why bother to show mercy, I don't think that the group of men in black tonight is trying to kill us, especially the surprise in his eyes when he saw that the person sleeping next to me was Bingyu."
"Miss, who could it be? Is it Mrs. Yun or the Fifth Prince? Mu'er thought and said with one hand on her chin.
Seeing this, Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly and said, "Who sent it, we will know tomorrow." Rather than pondering who sent it here, it is better to keep your spirits up and deal with the trouble of finding your door tomorrow. ”
"Miss, are you so sure that trouble will come to you tomorrow? The slave is guarding outside, so rest early. Mu'er said softly.
"Don't keep watching, you all go down to sleep, otherwise how can you have the spirit to face them tomorrow."
Waved away the girl in the room, Ling Ruoyi walked back to the inner room, faintly feeling that something big would happen tomorrow, and she couldn't sleep all night......
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Liyan went to the court early, and when he got up, Ling Ruoyi was also ready to get up, although they were a nominal husband and wife, they still had to do a full set of plays. In front of the palace maids of the Tianci Palace, it is better to show great affection.
"It's still early, you better sleep again, you must not have slept well yesterday." Xia Liyan took the handkerchief in the palace maid's hand, wiped his face, and said softly.
"The concubine is waiting for the prince to come back and have breakfast together." Ling Ruoyi smiled and handed the mouthwash to Xia Liyan's hand, the movements and expressions of the two of them, no matter who saw it, they were a loving little couple.
After Xia left the court, Ling Ruohui didn't feel sleepy, so she went back to the inner room and asked Mu'er and Mengchun to wait for them to change their clothes and comb their hair. It is probably Mu'er's deliberate, it stands to reason that married women have to coil up their hair, and only women who have not left the cabinet will have long hair draped on their backs. Since they came to Lixia Kingdom, every time they comb Ling Ruoyi's hair, they are in a few buns when they were at home, simple and elegant, generous and noble.
"The slave greets the crown princess." A eunuch's shrill voice sounded.
Looking up, the person who came was Gonggong Cai, the great eunuch in the queen's palace. Then he slowly spoke, "Father-in-law Cai is exempt, I don't know what happened to Father-in-law Cai coming here early in the morning?" ”
"Back to the crown princess, the queen invites you to go to the Splendid Palace."
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi secretly thought that the queen would send the big eunuch around her early in the morning to call her over, afraid that the one who came was not good and the good one would not come. Isn't it the man in black from last night......
"Crown princess, please go with the miscellaneous family, don't let the queen wait for a long time." Without waiting for Ling Ruohui to refuse, Gonggong Cai opened his mouth to urge, doing things neatly, and his ability to observe words and emotions is not a loss to the queen's henchman.
Ling Ruoyi saw that he couldn't push it off, so he took Mengchun and followed Cai Gonggong out of the Tianci Palace, and when he was about to go out, Ling Ruohui quietly gave Bingyu a look, and when a few people walked away, Bingyu hurriedly said: "Mu'er, you go to wait for the prince outside the court, and tell the prince and queen to find the young lady." I quietly followed behind, secretly protecting Miss. ”
Hearing this, Mu'er also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ran out of the Tianci Palace quickly.
Splendid Palace.
The queen sat on the top seat, and the elegance and nobility set off by a bright red phoenix robe were impressive.
Ling Ruoyi stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "My son, please say hello to the queen mother." ”
Mengchun also greeted Ling Ruoyi after saluting, and then spoke, "Slave maid to the queen's mother." ”
Hearing this, the queen on the throne just glanced coldly at the two saluting people, did not speak, and just drank the tea in her hand by herself.
Ling Ruoyi and Mu Er, who were saluting, were squatting, not only would their legs be sore if they were too long, but they would also be hunched over, which was even more uncomfortable, but this was in the queen's palace, if she didn't have the queen's permission, if she got up by herself, she would not be discussed by the palace people, and she might also be killed for herself.
"Get up." After a while, the queen spoke slowly, and she could hear that her tone was full of unkindness.
"Thank you, Mother." Ling Ruoxuan stood up, and her legs suddenly felt sore, but she couldn't beat it in front of the queen, and looking at the queen's attitude today, I was afraid that it was deliberate.
Thinking of this, Ling Ruohui felt even more that the group of people in black last night must be related to the queen, but what was it that made the queen treat her like this.
Just thinking about it, the queen said coldly again, "Be bold Ling Ruoyi, you are guilty." ”
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi and Mengchun knelt on the ground, "After returning to my mother, my sons don't know." ”
She really didn't know what the queen was bothering her for, could it be because of Concubine Yu, but wasn't the queen at odds with Concubine Yu and Mrs. Yun, so it would definitely not be because of Concubine Yu's matter, so what could it be? Ling Ruoyi quickly thought about the reason in her mind.
The queen got up suddenly, walked down the steps slowly, and came to Ling Ruoyi, Ling Ruohui met the queen's eyes, full of calm and puzzlement, who knows, the queen suddenly became difficult, raised her hand, and slapped Ling Ruohui hard.
Immediately, he said lightly, "I dare to say that I don't know, you have been married into the palace for five months, and you are not pregnant, what is going on." ”
Ling Ruoxuan exhaled lightly and said softly: "After returning to my mother, I can't force the heir, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are still young, so we ...... for the time being."
Before Ling Ruohui finished speaking, the queen slapped her again, and Ling Ruohui was stunned for a moment, was it because she didn't give birth to a child?
At this moment, two middle-aged women walked in, and the two of them held Ling Ruoxuan and clamped the clamp stick on her slender jade fingers......
