"What?! Rong Ling's girl is actually practicing swords with Lu Yan? Could it be that Lu Yan already knows our plan. ”

"Hui Niangniang, judging from the current situation, General Lu should not know yet. Otherwise, how could he still be in the palace? However, just in case, we have to inform the prince to prepare early. ”

In Jing'an Palace, Concubine Jing sat on the right seat and listened to the reply of her confidant eunuch Xiao Yunzi.

When she learned that Rong Ling and Lu Yan were very close, the whole person panicked.

Who doesn't know that this Lu Yan has made great achievements, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals under his command.

If he really knew the whole plan in advance, then I am afraid that all the previous preparations would be in vain.

Concubine Jing never expected that a cook in the palace would one day become a big problem for her.

The last time she sent a killer to kill her, she couldn't do it, Concubine Jing only felt that Rong Ling was lucky for a while, and she would find another chance to solve it.

But now with Lu Yan's protection, it is almost even more difficult to start next time.

The current situation no longer allows her to think too much, there is no turning back from the bow, since she has decided to do it, she must do it thoroughly, and she will do it decisively!

So, I saw her put the teacup in her hand on the coffee table, beckoned Xiao Yunzi to her side and ordered: "You go and send some refreshments to the eleventh master, and tell him that the main dish will arrive later." ”

"Yes, the minion will do it."

Xiao Yunzi got the order and immediately turned around and left Jing'an Palace.

Concubine Jing saw Xiao Yunzi leaving, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

But the worry in her eyes didn't diminish at all.

She is planning a big event that shakes the world, if this thing is done, then she will no longer be bound by the walls of this palace, and she will no longer have to be this seemingly beautiful, but useless concubine.

What she wants is a man who loves her and a free love from beginning to end.

She's had all of that.

She used to be as comfortable as a bird in the sky.

But all this was ruined by the current emperor, and it was one of his holy decrees that robbed her of her illusions and tore up her dreams!

Since the day she was forced to enter the palace, she had already made up her mind that she would have to get this account back sooner or later!

After all these years of strategizing, she finally waited for such an opportunity!

Concubine Jing knew that this matter must be foolproof, otherwise, if she made a wrong move, she would fall into the abyss.

In order not to let the emperor doubt herself, even if she was reluctant, she would still go to the warm house every day to sleep.

Anyway, it has come to this point, and it doesn't hurt to suffer more grievances.

As long as the final task is achieved, she will not complain no matter how much she pays

It's just that right now, she needs to find another chance to get rid of Rong Ling.

In the blink of an eye, Rong Ling had been practicing swords with Lu Yan for three days.

In the past few days, in addition to being busy with the meals of various palaces in the imperial dining room, Rong Ling will practice the moves taught by Lu Yan in the courtyard.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial dining room also felt very strange when they saw that Rong Ling was suddenly so attentive to sword practice.

Xiao Tao is a little palace maid who has followed Rong Ling for many years, she and Rong Ling are five years apart, although the two of them are the main servants, they also grew up together in the imperial dining room.

On this day, Rong Ling came back from sword practice, and before she could take a sip of tea, Xiao Tao rushed up and asked in her ear, "Auntie, why did the coach come back so quickly today?" It seems that the time is shorter than usual. ”

"General Lu has something, so it's over early."

"Ah, I see. General Lu is really a big man, I heard that he returns triumphantly every time he goes out, which is amazing. ”

Xiao Tao handed the tea to Rong Ling, who came back from sword practice, and muttered Lu Yan's news to herself.

Rong Ling took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and then said to Xiao Tao: "You little girl, you are going to be guilty of talking about court officials behind your back, I think you are tired of being alive, right?" Chew less tongue roots. ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Tao knows. However, what I said is also true. By the way, auntie, do you have any special feelings with General Lu every day? ”

"A special feeling?! What, what's so special about it? ”

When asked this, Rong Ling's cheeks turned slightly red.

Xiao Tao looked like she had already seen through everything, and deliberately put down the teacup and replied: "Auntie, since you started practicing swords with General Lu, you have often sat in the courtyard in a daze, and often smirked, we all watched it." Auntie, do you like General Lu? ”

Xiao Tao raised her eyebrows, with a very gossipy expression.

Rong Ling, who was pierced through his mind, blushed, turned his head, and explained very embarrassedly: "What do you like, you are a little child, what nonsense!" ”

"Hey, auntie, although Xiao Tao is young, she doesn't talk nonsense. You and the general already have a marriage contract, so it's only natural that you like each other. ”

"Okay, let's prepare the food quickly, be careful that you can't make dinner to make a board!"

Rong Ling knew that if she continued to talk about it, she would only expose her thoughts more and more, so she simply diverted the topic, but she went to cook in the kitchen.

Xiao Tao saw that Rong Ling looked like a dead duck with a hard mouth, so she didn't ask any more questions, shrugged helplessly, and went to work.

But in the guard house on the other side, as soon as Lu Yan stepped into the room with his front foot, Ling Fu rushed in.

"General, the emperor sent someone here just now and sent you a secret letter."

As he spoke, Ling Fu took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took the letter and motioned for Ling Fu to close the door, he carefully unfolded the letter, and there were only two words on it - arm.

At this moment, Lu Yan immediately understood the emperor's intentions.

He knew that the time had come for his soldiers stationed outside the city to be activated.

So, he burned the letter on the candle, turned to Ling Fu and said, "Go to the camp at once, inform the forward battalion, and I will meet them tonight." Just say to the outside world, it's to visit everyone, don't make a noise. ”

"Yes!"

Ling Fu received the order, did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly left the palace.

Lu Yan turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the window, his eyes were full of worry.

"Rong Ling, how can I protect you..."

"Oh-"

A rooster crows to break the silence of the morning.

Smoke curled in the imperial dining room, and Rong Ling was busy preparing breakfast for the palaces at this time.

She still remembered the agreement with Lu Yan at noon, so she had to prepare all the dishes before leaving the imperial dining room.

However, just when she was full of anticipation and was about to continue to go to the Imperial Garden to practice swords with Lu Yan, suddenly, a strange man came to the outside of the imperial dining room.

"Miss Rong, the general asked me to give you a message, he will be back in the camp for a few days, and he will not be able to continue to teach the girl to practice swords, please forgive the girl."

"He's back to camp?"

"Yes. Before leaving, the general specially instructed that if the girl needed it, the lowly post would protect the girl's safety. ”

"Okay, I see, hard work."

"If the girl is fine, she will retire first."

With that, the man saluted and turned to leave.

Rong Ling stood at the door, unable to hide the loss in his heart.

At the same time, she was also faintly worried.

"Is he going on another expedition?"

I couldn't help but feel an impulse in Rong Ling's heart...
