Chapter 117: A True Heart
After waiting for a while, Master Tian dared to open his eyes and take a look, he staggered towards the man, thanked him, and asked again: "Excuse me, what is Your ——?Excellency?"
Suddenly, the boat rocked, and Master Tian was unstable and almost fell into the water, but fortunately, Mrs. Tian pulled him in time.
She pulled him straight back into the corner.
"Madam, I haven't asked for the name of Eun Gong yet."
Mrs. Tian pushed his forehead: "You stupid, you have no wind and no waves, why did the boat suddenly shake up?" That's the answer they gave you, so don't ask!"
She quietly glanced at the man's back, "He's just doing what he is told."
"So, who told him to save us? And who will kill us?"
She touched the knife in her arms and said, "Nine times out of ten, it is Lord Lin who saves us, or rather, His Royal Highness the Prince, who wants to kill us......
Mrs. Tian shook her head and said that she didn't know, but when they were fighting just now, she paid attention to it, and the shoes worn by the other group were also the standard of the government.
Mrs. Tian said after a moment, "It's useless to think so much, anyway, now we can only follow him."
In the Shengjing Palace, the old emperor who finished reading the last excerpt rubbed his eyebrows, leaned back on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Zhuo Song looked at it, and when he turned around to serve hot tea, the little eunuch said to him, "Father-in-law, Concubine Ling is here, waiting outside the door."
Zhuo Song thought for a while, put down the tea in his hand, and walked out and said to Concubine Ling, "Concubine Ling.
"Father-in-law, is Your Majesty still busy?"
In the past two days, every time she came, she could only wait outside the door, and she came and went freely unlike before.
Zhuo Song smiled and said, "I'm still busy." He caught a glimpse of the soup cup in the hand of the maid behind her, "It's a breath of relief."
Concubine Ling glanced at the palace maid behind her and presented the soup cup.
"In this way, the father-in-law will give this to His Majesty for the official, let His Majesty pay attention to the dragon body, don't be too tired." After saying that, she nodded slightly, turned and left.
Zhuo Song entered and stood beside the old emperor, and opened the soup cup: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling Niangniang has brought you soup again."
When the old emperor heard this, he wanted to let him pour it like he had done before, but when the fragrance slipped into his nose, he paused, and it happened that his mouth was also a little dry, so he let out a "hmm".
Zhuo Song hurriedly poured him a bowl and put it in front of him.
The old emperor stretched out his hand to pick it up, and when he was about to put it into his mouth, he put it down again, glanced at Zhuo Song, Zhuo Song bent down and took out the cloth bag from his sleeve, picked up the silver needle and probed it into the soup noodles.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the silver needle, the old emperor took a sip of it, and soon, the whole bowl was in his stomach.
He stared at the empty bowl and pondered, she had always understood his preferences, she used to think that she had a heart for herself, but now it seemed ...... It's really heartfelt.
The old emperor couldn't help but laugh, took out a letter from the box, squeezed it tightly, the back tooth socket gurgled, and then said to Cheng Dong, "Let her come over."
So, Concubine Ling, who had just returned to her bedroom, turned around and turned back again.
When she arrived, the old emperor withdrew everyone, slowly got up and walked to her, put his arm around her waist, and looked at her fixedly: "Aifei, you come to help me take a look, this picture is beautiful?"
He brought the letter to her eyes, and after she took it and looked at it, he smiled lightly and said, "This Yao character is well written, but I don't know what Your Majesty wants to use this pattern? If you want to give it to any sister, your majesty should ask her."
He let go of his hand and said with a straight face, "Since you are the adopted daughter of King Ning, how can you not see it?"
Concubine Ling suddenly understood in her heart the reason why she had always been favored in the past two days, was suddenly treated coldly.
She raised her head and said to the old emperor, "The concubine was indeed his adopted daughter, but she only stayed in the palace for a while, and lived a life like a thousand golds.
"Was?"
Concubine Ling nodded and said, "Well, when the concubine was young, she was betrayed by her parents, and that day happened to be the day when Your Majesty went on patrol
You, just like that, it was deeply engraved in the concubine's heart."
She looked at him with a gentle and affectionate gaze.
"At that time, the concubine was thinking that when the concubine grew up, she would definitely marry Your Majesty, and even if it didn't work, she would marry someone as heroic as Your Majesty. Maybe it is the favor of God, or maybe it is the protection of His Majesty's true dragon qi, after the concubine thought so, the next moment, a woman with the posture of a heavenly maiden suddenly appeared and bought the concubine."
"Under her arrangement, the concubine became the adopted daughter of King Ning, and she hasn't seen her since, although she is an adopted daughter, she is actually more like a cat or dog that she picked up. When he was in the palace, King Ning was not always there, and when he came back, he simply and repeatedly asked the concubines if they were used to being in the palace, only once, he said more than three words to the concubines, and that time, the concubines said to him, I like Your Majesty, I want to enter the palace to accompany Your Majesty."
For a long time, in the heart of a woman, it is more King Ning who admires, and the first time I heard that someone liked him since he was a child, the old emperor was stunned, and a refreshing feeling came from his heart, and his face couldn't help but soften.
Concubine Ling lowered her eyes: "Xu has a feeling that as his adopted daughter, he wants to marry his brother, this idea is not appropriate, he was furious after hearing this, and pointed at the ministers in vain and said If I insist on doing so, I will have nothing to do with Ning Wangfu from now on."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on the old emperor's face, King Ning's anger was definitely not because of this, but because he knew it......
"Your Majesty......"
The old emperor came back to his senses and met her eyes.
"The identity of King Ning's adopted daughter is only once, and the concubine is now only the eldest daughter of the Ling family, Your Majesty's Concubine Ling, if Your Majesty is also troubled by this, then the concubine can only wait for the next life."
Concubine Ling's face immediately appeared with two more tears, and she stood silently, waiting for his answer.
The old emperor couldn't stand the tears of the beauty, sighed lightly, and hugged her again, "That's why you asked me to find your parents and brothers for you and bring Shengjing?"
Concubine Ling leaned on his chest, tears still oozing from the corners of her eyes, but those eyes were colder than winter, and she said slowly: "The concubine just wants to be of the same heart with His Majesty and cultivate for a hundred years, so she hasn't mentioned the matter of her adopted daughter, but why...... Your Majesty, who is it? Who can't see His Majesty's affection for his concubines and use this matter to provoke us?"
The old emperor blurted out Lin Yanzhi.
After hearing this, Concubine Ling snorted: "The whole palace knows that the concubine and her don't deal with her, how can the concubine talk to her and talk about her childhood?!" This Lord Lin is really annoying!"
When the old emperor heard this, he was worried: "Why don't you treat her so much, concubine?"
Concubine Ling raised her head, looked at him steadily, and said slowly, "Because every time she sees a concubine, she is very respectful on the surface, but her eyes reveal sympathy and disdain, just like the woman who bought the concubine back then."
This sentence also seemed to express the mood of the old emperor, and he couldn't help but freeze for a while.
"Why does she sympathize with her concubines, and why do she look down on her concubines?"
yes -
Why is she?
Sympathy, but disdain...... t.
I.
The old emperor who was reminiscing with his eyes closed had a complicated look on his face.
Concubine Ling looked at it, smiled silently, and then stepped back: "Today, the concubine has shown her true heart, if Your Majesty still has a dislike for the concubine because she is not true, the concubine can only admit it." She flexed her legs and slowly shortened.
The old emperor opened his eyes, pulled her up, looked at her for a moment, and then raised his hand to touch her face: "Aifei, do you know who the woman in your mouth is?"
Concubine Ling nodded, "The concubine knows that she is also an envoy."
The old emperor bowed his head: "That's right, the Emperor Taishang pointed at her in front of me back then, and let her be my spokesman, and in the end, it was here that she died in front of me."
He stared at Concubine Ling, so she only blinked and said, "It turns out that she has passed away, so she died of illness?"
The old emperor suddenly hooked his lips: "Don't talk about her, I know the concubine's intentions, so that the concubine also understands me, okay?"
He leaned over and pressed his lip flap to her neck.
Concubine Ling's beautiful eyes suddenly glared as if they were about to fall out, and her eyes involuntarily scanned the entire room.
And here he shall be with her......
She gently pushed him away and smiled coquettishly, "Your Majesty, it's inconvenient here."
The old emperor picked her up and walked behind the screen.
She had been here several times, but it was the first time she had learned about this screen, and she had set up a large bed.
She couldn't help herself from trembling, didn't let herself show a trace of strangeness, raised her hand and climbed onto his shoulder, still smiling, "Your Majesty, have other sisters been here?"
The old emperor scratched the tip of her nose: "What, Concubine Ai is jealous? No one in the harem has ever come."
"In this way, the concubine is the first."
The old emperor smiled for a moment, said no more, and only reached out to pull the placket of her clothes.
However, at this time, Zhuo Song said outside, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su asks to see you."
The old emperor immediately stopped his work and said to Concubine Ling, "At this hour, Yun Qi is coming to find him, there must be something important, so I have to wronged you, Concubine Ai."
He touched the beauty's waist again and whispered in her ear, "Tomorrow, I will drink your soup."
Concubine Ling hung her head shyly and said softly, "That concubine will bring it to Your Majesty tomorrow." With that, she straightened her clothes.
When Su Yunqi crossed the threshold and saw Concubine Ling, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Ministers see ......"
"Okay, there's no outsider here, what's the matter with me?"
Seeing that Su Yunqi was still finishing the ceremony, the old emperor laughed and said secretly: Yunqi is a little stubborn.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Yanzhou that the Tian family and his wife have been rescued by His Royal Highness the Prince."
When the old emperor, who was in a rare mood, heard this, his face darkened again, and he slapped the table angrily: "I thought he would be ruthless, but he still has such a temperament, hum! Those who dare to collude with King Ning, how can they let it go like this! If even such a thing as rebellion can be easily eliminated with merit, then everyone will learn from it, and I will not be troubled day and night, and I will not be able to sleep at night?!"
