"Miss." Mengchun anxiously pounced in front of Ling Ruoxuan, looking at the two vicious old Diao slaves, her heart was full of anger, but this Lixia Palace was not a Yunshang country, without the support of the prince, Xiangye, and son, the young lady was afraid that she would have to suffer some flesh and skin.

Thinking of this, Mengchun kowtowed violently to the queen and said: "Please ask the queen mother to go around my young lady, young lady, she is thin and can't stand the stick, let the slave bear all the blame, the queen begs you." ”

Queen Lixia's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked coldly at the two kneeling down, and couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, this girl next to Ling Ruohui was so loyal, and she was even willing to bear it for her, which shows that the master-servant relationship on weekdays is very deep. But when I thought of the person sent last night coming back to report and learn that this princess was actually in the same bed with the maid, and letting His Royal Highness the prince sleep on the bed, it was simply hateful and ridiculous.

"If the queen mother has anything, even if she comes to me, Mengchun is just a girl, and what she does is only to protect her heart, and I hope that the queen mother will not blame her."

A seat, although the voice is soft, but every sentence blocks the idea that the Lixia Palace wants to punish Mengchun, indicating that Mengchun is just a girl who is loyal to the lord, if the queen even punishes the loyal girl, then who else in this harem will be loyal to the lord in the future, I am afraid that as soon as there is something to do, I can't wait to betray my master.

"Okay, Ling Ruoxuan, this palace won't embarrass your girl. However, if this palace asks you, you have to answer truthfully, otherwise don't blame this palace for being ruthless. ”

"The queen mother, please ask, the concubine will know everything and say everything."

"Okay, a good one who knows everything and says everything, I hope you don't think about deceiving this palace. Otherwise, you and the three girls around you will be dealt with in accordance with the palace rules. ”

Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi scoffed at it and dealt with it with palace rules, didn't she just want to be charged with some trumped-up crimes? The royal family wants a human life, isn't that easy?

"The queen mother is the queen of a country, the mother of the world, the mother of the people of Lixia country, she will not careless about people's lives at will."

In a word, Ling Ruoyi came back without being soft or hard, and Queen Lixia was not annoyed, but sighed secretly, this woman is not simple, no wonder she reversed her position in the mansion in Yunshang Country with her own strength, and divorced King Rui, and actually got the favor of King Qi. And in the matter of saving the lives of the people in Beijing, the deep hearts of the people, this woman has no ambition, if she has ambition, it may not be the blessing of Lixia country.

Hearing this, Lixia Palace snorted coldly, and then slowly spoke, "This palace asks you, why did you let the prince sleep on the couch, but you slept on the bed with the maid?" ”

I didn't expect Queen Lixia to ask a question directly, which also proved what Ling Ruoyi thought in her heart last night, those people in black really didn't come to kill her, just to explore the way.

"It's because the concubine has occasionally felt cold recently, and she is afraid of infecting His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was a little cold last night, so the concubine let Bingyu sleep next to the concubine, which is also convenient to take care of the concubine."

"Hmph, Hugh wants to deceive this palace with clever words, you are a generation of divine doctors, it takes five days for ordinary imperial doctors to heal diseases, but you only need one day, how can you not cure your own wind and cold?"

"Has the queen mother ever heard of a doctor and a healer, but she can't heal herself? Even if the concubine is proficient in medical skills, when she is sick, she is afraid that she will make mistakes in diagnosing the pulse, so why should she deceive her mother with clever words. ”

"Then can you think about the emperor's body? He had an arrow wound to his left shoulder a year ago, so wasn't he worried about his body? ”

Ling Ruoyi was suddenly stunned, Xia Liyan had suffered an arrow wound, she knew the pulse before, but she had already recovered, what was there to worry about, and he was a person who practiced martial arts, and his body was already much stronger than ordinary people, the queen asked at this time, I am afraid that she already suspects that we are a nominal couple. But where Xia Liyan's arrow wound was, she didn't know.

Thinking of this, Ling Ruoxuan slowly spoke, "His Royal Highness the Prince's arrow wound has long been fine, and the concubine has already developed a pill for the prince to take after she came to Lixia with the prince. ”

replied very cleverly, firstly, he affirmed that the old injuries on Xia Liyan's body were not serious, and secondly, he covered up whether Xia Liyan was injured in his left shoulder.

Empress Lixia smiled coldly, she didn't expect this Ling Ruoyi to be so difficult to deal with, fortunately it was her own daughter-in-law, so she could easily bring down Queen Ning's mother and son, and she could kill the Jade Concubine with a beating, and she could also keep herself out of the matter, which shows the cleverness of the means. But after all, the crown prince wants to ascend the throne and reign as the emperor, and the prince is all on Ling Ruoxi, but they are only a nominal husband and wife, who will inherit the throne of Lixia in the future?

Thinking of this, the queen slightly restrained Fang Cai's distraction, and said lightly, "Since you are already the crown princess of Lixia, don't think about those unrealistic things anymore, the mourning family is limited to three months, if you can't conceive the prince's heir, don't blame the palace for being polite." ”

Three months to conceive, this Queen Lixia is thinking of her grandson and going crazy, they are a nominal couple, how can they have children, and her unrealistic thing just now means that she doesn't have to think about being able to return to Yunshang? What did this seemingly innocuous queen know? Did she know about the one-year covenant? Ling Ruoyi couldn't help but think secretly in her heart.

"Queen Mother, this heir is really in a hurry, and besides, the prince and I are still young, I ......"

Before Ling Ruohui could finish speaking, Queen Lixia threw the teacup in her hand heavily on the ground, and the white teacup shattered on the ground, like a blooming white plum.

"Don't think that your affairs can be hidden from this palace, Ling Ruoxi, don't test the patience of this palace. What's going on between you and the crown prince, don't you know anything about this palace? ”

Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi was not around, since the queen also knew that she and the crown prince were a nominal couple, I am afraid that Emperor Lixia also knew, if she wanted to live with a man she didn't love at all, and give birth to a child, she would rather die than be vain. Immediately, he said lightly, "Since the queen mother knows everything, the concubine doesn't have to hide it, and the March period is not needed, the concubine can answer the queen mother now, the concubine can't do it." ”

"I can't do it, someone came to put a stick on the princess, and didn't give her some color to see, she really thought the palace was a decoration."

"Yes." The two old grandmothers wanted to have the expressions of Mama Rong and Mama Gui in the play, staring at Ling Ruohui viciously, among them, Mama Xi grabbed Ling Ruohui's hands hard, and wanted to stuff them into the stick, who knew that Ling Ruohui suddenly became difficult, suddenly got up, grabbed Mama Xi's arm, turned around lightly, and fell beautifully over the shoulder, and threw Mama Xi to the ground.

"Presumptuous, how can the Splendid Palace allow you to be wild?" The queen's face was suddenly full of anger, she didn't expect Ling Ruohui to have such a hand, but the people who sent her could prove that she really didn't know martial arts.

"The queen mother, the concubines are also for self-preservation, if the queen mother can't get used to what her sons do, you can let the prince abolish me, why bother to be strong." Ling Ruoxuan opened his mouth coldly, and then picked up Mengchun Dao, who was still kneeling on the ground, with one hand.

"Come on, take the crown princess down to the palace, put a stick on her, and torture her along with the girls around her." The queen is angry, and she can be angry as much as she can.

When several guards who were five big and three thick suppressed them hard, and Mama Xi's clamp was about to clamp on Ling Ruoyi's fingers, there was a loud sound outside.

"Be bold, let go of Hongu." As the voice landed, Xia Liyan, who was wearing a bright yellow prince's costume, walked in with a gloomy face.

Xia Liyan saw the few guards who were suppressing Ling Ruoyi, raised his sword eyebrows and said coldly: "Bastard thing, you dare to touch the princess, don't you want your hands?" ”

Hearing this, the guards and the two grandmothers hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life." ”

"Hmph, I still want this palace to spare your life, if you don't hurt the crown princess, your head can still be left, if you hurt the crown princess, this palace will kill you." Xia Liyan continued to say coldly. Completely ignoring the gloomy face of the queen who sat on the throne.

"Emperor, what do you mean by this? Can't even the queen mother discipline her? ”

"Queen Mother, the crown princess stays in the Tianci Palace all day, and recently she has been busy with the affairs of the hospital, I don't know where she offended the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to hurt her like this."

Xia Liyan did not use discipline, but harmed, it can be seen that in Xia Liyan's heart, Ling Ruoyi's position is higher than anyone else, and he is also the person he is willing to protect with his life.

"Emperor, your affairs, the queen mother already knows, if you don't want me to discipline the crown princess, you have to accept the side concubine, otherwise, don't care about the queen mother and use the power of the middle palace to punish her."

"Okay, as long as the queen mother doesn't hurt Yi'er, I'm willing to accept a side concubine."

The queen didn't expect that her son would be able to take a concubine for Ling Ruoyi, but she didn't let him obey her bitterly.

"Okay, the queen mother chose Lin Xiang's daughter Lin Xian'er as a side concubine for you, can you object?"

"No, it's up to the queen mother to decide." Xia Liyan said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, then the queen mother will let her enter the palace on the fifth day of the next month, and all the matters will be arranged by the queen mother."

"Okay, if there is nothing wrong with the queen mother, the son will take Yi'er back to the palace." After finishing speaking, without waiting for the queen to speak again, she pulled Ling Ruoyi and walked out of the Splendid Palace.

Hurried all the way back to the Tianci Palace, all the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs did not dare to look up at Xia Liyan, how could there be a secret in the palace, and the matter of the prince breaking into the Splendid Palace to save the princess had already spread.

Heavenly Palace.

"Leaving the ......" Ling Ruoyi thought a lot along the way, she didn't expect Xia Liyan to go straight to the Splendid Palace in order to save her, and was willing to obey his mother's arrangement to marry Lin Xiang's daughter as a side concubine, presumably he didn't like that Lin Xian'er, otherwise how could he not marry a concubine?

"Yi'er, don't worry, even if you marry a side concubine, I will treat you well, you are a wife, she is a concubine, if she dares to be disrespectful to you, even if she is trained, I will support you in everything."

Obviously, Xia Liyan and Ling Ruoyi had different thoughts, "Liyan, I don't deserve your life's happiness to save me, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to pay off what I owe you." ”

"Everything is of my own free will, so where is the debt?" Xia Liyan looked at Ling Ruohui gently and said lightly, seeing that Ling Ruohui bowed his head and was silent, he immediately spoke again, "If you really want to pay it back, can you exchange your heart?" ”

"I ......" Ling Ruoyi was speechless for a while, her heart had already been given to King Qi, Xia Liyan was just a good friend in her heart, or her brother, as for the heart, it had already been given to King Qi who was guarding dozens of miles away.

"Forget it, I know that you won't have a place for me in your heart in this life, and it's embarrassing for you to ask it."

Looking at Xia Liyan's disappointed expression, Ling Ruoyi's heart was full of apologies, and she secretly thought in her heart, if Concubine Lin had a noble character and a kind heart, if she really loved Xia Liyan, then she was very willing to give up the position of the crown princess, and this position did not belong to her.

The night was deep, the full moon was sinking in the west, and in the north and south corners of the inner room, two people were lying on their beds with their own thoughts......
