Ouchi Imperial Palace.

Mo Shuiling, the princess of the world, sat silently in front of the window of Qixia Pavilion, quietly staring at the bleak cold moon in the blue sky, and her sorrow and annoyance came to her heart again. I couldn't help but moan softly:

Go up to the west building alone without a word, the moon is like a hook;

Lonely Wutong deep courtyard, lock Qingqiu.

Cut constantly, sort out and mess up,

It's sorrow,

I have a different taste in my heart. ……

In the hazy eyes of tears, Du Zhenghai's shadow shook in front of her eyes.

Thinking about what had happened during the day, she was still in a throbbing and uneasy mood.

This afternoon, she was leaning on the railing and bowing her head and groaning, when suddenly a woman in black appeared in front of her like an otherworldly fairy.

Mo Shuiling was only stunned, a pair of confused and hazy eyes looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was speechless for a long time.

This woman in black is Lian Nanchun.

Seeing the stunned face of the ink spirit; Lian Nanchun pursed her lips lightly, her eyes fluttered, and she said softly: "Concubine Lingniang doesn't need to panic, I am a friend of Ling Yun and Du Zhenghai." I was entrusted by Ling Yun to come here to find the imperial concubine and ask for something. ”

"Are you a friend of Ling Yun and Du Zhenghai? ......" Mo Shuiling's eyes showed a slight joy, but he instantly became cold again, and said in confusion: "Since there is something to ask for, why didn't Ling Yun come in person, but entrusted you to do it?" ”

Lian Nanchun's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly, "She is worthy of being the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is really Lan Xinhui, and Bing Xue is smart!" ”

It's not the kind of "stupid white sweet" who doesn't know the east and west, north and south, and stupidly lets people lead the nose when they are bluffed.

Lian Nanchun smiled slightly, and did not explain his intention in a hurry.

She walked lightly to the door and looked around to make sure that there were indeed no suspicious people around Qixia Pavilion waiting to peep around before returning to the room.

She sat down unhurriedly, and first briefly introduced her identity, her relationship with Ling Yun and Du Zhenghai; In the end, he told Mo Shuiling everything about Du Zhenghai being in prison and his life on the verge of death.

At that moment, Mo Shuiling's heart was extremely confused, and he lost his face for a moment and lost his opinion; If Lian Nanchun hadn't given her timely guidance and told her the strategy and method of rescuing Du Zhenghai, she would have almost been at a loss.

However, she is still a little worried: after all, she is a weak woman, rootless and bottomless, and she is soft-spoken, will the emperor listen to her as a harem concubine?

Lian Nanchun's beautiful eyes were raised, and Wan Er smiled and said: "This Lingfei Niangniang, please put 10,000 hearts - does Niangniang know your irreplaceable position in the emperor's heart?" ”

Concubine Ling was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but droop her apricot eyes, remembering that when she first entered the palace and met the emperor for the first time a few months ago, the emperor's eyes were like a treasure, full of infinite pampering and love.

At that time, the smile lines in the corners of his eyes were open and hot, and the smile in his eyes lasted for a long time, containing infinite tenderness that was difficult to describe.

He grabbed her slender jade hand with trembling hands, as if he could never get enough of it, and looked her up and down, and said continuously: "It turns out that there is really such a pure and lovely beauty in the world!" - Ling'er, are you a fairy in the sky who fell to the earth? ”

Mo Shuiling bowed his head and was silent. That kind of shyness has a little bit of sorrow in it, full of charm, and it is provocative.

The emperor was even more intoxicated, and muttered: "Beautiful, so beautiful......"

On the spot, Mo Shuiling was canonized as a spiritual concubine.

Then came the most skilled painter in the palace, who painted Mo Shuiling's true face on the spot; Then he ordered someone to hang the picture of the true face of the beauty on the wall of his heart cultivation hall.

Thinking of the past, Mo Shuiling's originally pale face was flushed with peach......

But it was said that the emperor Zhao Yu, after Empress Dowager Wei left, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and then came to Concubine Ling's bedroom with a heavy heart.

Concubine Ling took over and instructed the palace maid to prepare the imperial meal.

After dinner, Concubine Ling helped the emperor to lie down; Her eyes moved slightly, and her red lips opened lightly: "Holy Lord, is there something on your mind?" ”

The emperor sighed and said, "Ling'er, do you see it too?" ”

Concubine Ling smiled slightly, and said softly: "The concubine was worried when she saw the saint, so she took the liberty to ask. In fact, there are some things that the concubine shouldn't talk about, but the concubine is worried about the holy dragon body, and the saint is advised not to be hurt by a little trivial matter. ”

The emperor frowned lightly and said, "You are right, I am now troubled by these trivial things. ”

Mo Shuiling's charming eyes were bright, and she smiled lightly: "Since it is a trivial matter, the Holy One might as well talk about it to the concubine, and the concubine may be able to share the worries for the Holy One!" ”

These words seemed to be in response to the emperor's wishes, because he needed to find a confidant to confide in his troubles at this time.

So he said the things that the Queen Mother asked him to do; After finishing speaking, he turned his searching gaze to Concubine Ling and said, "Aifei, I believe your words the most—why do you say I should deal with this matter?" ”

Concubine Ling's eyes were deep, and she thought about it seriously, and then said slowly: "The concubine privately thinks that what the Queen Mother said is very good. One is that Du Zhenghai's sin is not to death; Second, this matter is related to the interests of the county lord and the queen mother, which is not trivial, and the saint must be cautious!

"The concubines have heard that the saint governs the world with benevolence and virtue, and the grace and righteousness cover all the people; If the Holy Lord can pardon Nadu Zhenghai this time, the Queen Mother will be happy, and the county lord will also be grateful to the Holy Longen, and the subjects will praise the Holy Lord's benevolence and love for the people, and they will be loyal to the Holy God. ”

Concubine Ling was calm and unhurried, and talked eloquently; And it is reasonable, the head is the Tao, and the emperor who only said that the dragon heart is happy, and the dragon eyebrows are stretched and said: "Ai Concubine, your words are really good words, which are exactly what I want!" Well, according to Concubine Ai's words, I will immediately draw up a holy decree to pardon Nadu Zhenghai! ”

Concubine Ling's clear eyes bent out of a good-looking arc, and she said with a smile: "Holy and sage." ”……

The next morning. In front of the gates of the prison. Feng Chaoying, the governor of the Great Interior, held the holy decree in his hand and read it aloud:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

Now the emperor's grace is vast, the benevolent government is spread in the world, and the people are covered with grace, and Du Zhenghai is pardoned for his death crime, expelled from the capital, and will never be allowed to set foot in the capital for half a step.

Chin this! Thanksgiving. ”

At that time, He Yuting, Ying Chuanlin and others were all present.

Listening to Feng Chaoying read out the holy decree, He Yuting could hardly believe his ears.

He had already made a thorough plan, and was ready to escort Du Zhenghai to the execution ground at three o'clock in the afternoon today, and behead him; Because this is what the overall situation has been decided and it is difficult to change - it is expected that something will change again when the execution is about to be executed!

And there was not even the slightest hint of wind and grass beforehand.

Countless thoughts flashed through He Yuting's mind like electricity: Why did the emperor suddenly issue such a holy decree? Who's behind the scenes? Don't...... Is it Lingyun operating in the dark again?

As soon as he thought of this, He Yuting's head seemed to have a string that suddenly broke, and he couldn't control his emotions for a while, letting his anger burn wildly in his heart, and the monstrous hatred instantly overwhelmed his whole body.

A cold murderous intent appeared in his deep eyes, and he secretly said, "I hope it's better not to be like this!" If you let me know that you really did this—Ling Yun, don't blame me for not being polite to you because I didn't care about my past feelings......"

Du Zhenghai was even more confused. He froze in place, his feet as if frozen, and he was dumbfounded for a long time.

He felt his head as big as a bucket, and his head was buzzing, as if countless mosquitoes were flying in front of his eyes, making him irritable and dazed.

At this time, the two guards stepped forward, removed the chains on his body for him, took him out of the prison, and said expressionlessly: "Du Zhenghai, you are free." ”

Du Zhenghai was still confused at this time, and Mu Ran said: "Why do you want to let me go?" ……”

One of the guards looked at him with a strange look, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "The Holy Lord is benevolent and loves the people, forgive you—Du Zhenghai, congratulations, you are really blessed and have a great life!" ”

"The Holy One forgives me? …… Why? ......" At this time, he was still like falling into the fog, looking confused.

Du Zhenghai wandered aimlessly through the cross streets of the capital; His mind was in a mess like a mess at this time.

This time he escaped death and picked up a life from the ghost gate, he should have felt extremely fortunate and excited; But for some reason, he was not happy at all.

In addition to the confusion in his heart, there was a heavy depression and inexplicable sadness.

Yes, I escaped by luck this time, but is this the end of the grievances and grievances between myself and He Yuting? Won't the revenge of the parents be avenged? ……

"Are you Du Gongzi?" A crisp voice interrupted his tumultuous thoughts.

He raised his head in a bit of a daze, only to see a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and dressed as a palace guard standing in front of him, smiling.

Du Zhenghai hesitated for a moment and said, "May I ask if Your Excellency is-"

The young man lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Du Gongzi, the villain has something important to tell him, can you take a step to the teahouse next to you?" ”

Du Zhonghai nodded subconsciously.

The two came to the teahouse, and after taking their seats, the young man spread out his hole cards straight to the point: "Du Gongzi, the slave maid embroidered chrysanthemum, is the personal palace maid of Concubine Ling." ”

Du Zhenghai raised his eyes and looked at the gentle and quiet young man sitting in front of him again, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and secretly said: "It turns out that this young man is a woman dressed as a man, and he is also the personal maid of the water spirit girl!" ”

When it comes to Mo Shuiling, Du Zhenghai can't tell what kind of taste it is in his heart; He lowered his eyes gloomily, and only after a while did he say, "Concubine Ling, she ...... Are you okay? ”

Xiuju said: "Okay." It's just that I'm in a bad mood, I'm sad all day long, and I'm depressed; When the saint came up, he only forced a smile. Fortunately, the mother is blessed with a thousand years old, and the saint has blue eyes and loves her very much......"

Du Zhenghai said silently: "Embroidered chrysanthemum girl, don't say it." ”

Xiuju's deep eyes turned, and she lowered her voice and said: "Actually, as the personal maid of Concubine Ling, the confidant, the matter between Niangniang and Du Gongzi, the slave and maid know best......"

"Embroidered chrysanthemum girl!" Du Zhenghai stood up suddenly, a trace of panic crossed his dark eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Some things can't be said nonsense!" ……”
