"You're just doing this to draw a line with them, and you don't want to bother them—am I right?"

Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun went out, walking forward leisurely, and at the same time affectionately complaining to each other.

Seeing Lian Nanchun looking at him with sparkling eyes, Ling Yun's heart seemed to be wet at that moment, and he said movingly: "Chun'er, in this world, only you understand me best, you are really my confidant." ”

Lian Nanchun smiled at him.

The two of them continued to walk on the open field, chatting without saying a word.

Lian Nanchun saw that Ling Yun frowned slightly, and there seemed to be feelings hidden in his clear eyes that others couldn't understand, so he asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Ling Yun tilted his head slightly, and said silently, "No." ”

"Look at your worried look, do you still want to hide it from me?" Lian Nanchun's eyes flickered a few times one after another, "Are you worried about Lu Wenzheng's affairs?" ”

"I know that I can't hide anything from you," Ling Yun nodded, but said softly, "It's a pity that you can't help me in this matter." ”

Lian Nanchun's eyebrows were a little cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What you said is good. Lu Wen is my blood enemy, if it weren't for him, how could my eldest aunt and Master Pingming die? If it weren't for him, how could there be such a big misunderstanding between me and you, so that Lao Yan flew apart for so many years......"

She shook her head in pain, unable to speak.

Ling Yun was speechless for a long time before he said, "Yes, Lord Lu has done some things that are sorry for you and me—but that's just because of the different positions. Now that he's in trouble, how can I not help him?

"Chun'er, I understand your suffering, and I won't force you to do what you don't want to do; But if you can help me in my time of need, I can't thank you enough. ”

Lian Nanchun's gloomy autumn eyes looked at him directly, and he sighed lightly: "Zhichao, you are so cunning. ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Lian Nanchun said: "But I have a bottom line in doing things, I can help you when you encounter something difficult to solve, but I have nothing to do with Lu Wenzheng!" In a word, I only help you, not Lu Wenzheng. ”

A trace of burning welled up in Ling Yun's eyes, and he was moved: "Thank you, Chun'er." ”

Lian Nanchun said: "Now if you have anything, just say it." ”

Ling Yun said: "The first thing is to put some people in the Ding Mansion and the Hou Ye Mansion, and grasp any disturbances at any time, so as to deal with them in time." ”

"What, don't you even let go of the Hou Ye's Mansion?" Lian Nanchun's narrow eyes became distant, and he said with a somewhat teasing smile: "The eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion for so many years, don't you have a little foundation in the mansion?" “

Ling Yun's originally peaceful eyebrows suddenly had a strange color, and his eyes became complex and subtle; He frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Looking at the other party's somewhat gloomy face, Lian Nanchun immediately realized that he had lost his words, so he disguised himself and said, "Oh, get down to business, this can be promised to you, continue." ”

Ling Yun's face returned to normal, and he continued: "In addition, can you arrange someone to help me find out Yang Zhen's whereabouts?" ”

"It seems that you still have a lot of thoughts about the people in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department!" Lian Nanchun couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "But I can also promise you this." ”

Ling Yun said: "And-"

Lian Nanchun's lips hooked up an unreachable drift, "Zhichao, you are too greedy." ”

Ling Yun said with a smile: "That's all there is to it: I have long suspected that the death of the crown prince is related to the intrigues of some people inside the palace, so I want to start with the Ouchi Palace first." ”

"From Ouchi Imperial Palace?" Lian Nanchunxiu's eyebrows jumped unconsciously, "Didn't you want to go to the palace to face the king through your father and the prince of Jinling first, so as to find out the case of the prince and make everything clear to the world?" ”

Ling Yun's face was dark, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I thought so, but now I know how naïve I was and how outrageous I was wrong......

Looking at his distressed expression, Lian Nanchun felt a burst of compassion in his heart.

She lowered her eyes, smoothed out her chaotic thoughts, and said softly: "Actually, your original idea was not wrong, but it was a little rushed; Especially in this matter, we must think it through, have all the evidence, and act only when everything is ready - not to rush to achieve results, not to mention so many setbacks in the end, and take many detours. “

Ling Yun nodded approvingly and said, "So if you want to get more clues, so that the evidence is conclusive and everything is complete, you need to start with the Ouchi Palace first." ”

Lian Nanchun looked at him with a gloomy gaze and said, "What's the law?" ”

Ling Yun's clear eyes flashed, and he muttered slightly: "Change your appearance, sneak into the palace, and wait for an opportunity to move." ”

"You're the only one?"

"Of course, I need your cooperation outside."

Lian Nanchun's beautiful eyes were raised, and she shook her head and said, "No, this is too dangerous." The masters in the palace are like clouds, and there are many murderous opportunities, if you sneak into the palace alone, it will be like entering the tiger's den in Longtan, if they find out, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Ling Yun resolutely said, "So what? In fact, since the day the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department was seized, Yang Zhen and I have been in their pursuit, and if we can't find out the prince's case one day, we will not be able to settle down for a day.

"What's more, there is also that sentence: the most dangerous place is the safest place, and it is precisely because the Ouchi Imperial Palace is heavily guarded and dangerous, so none of them would have thought that I would stay in that kind of place, and it would be under their noses."

"But—"

Ling Yun said categorically: "I have made up my mind, Chun'er, you don't need to persuade me anymore." ”

Lian Nanchun changed color almost instantly, "Since you have already decided, what are you still discussing with me?" ”

There was a moment of frustration on Ling Yun's face, and then he smiled: "You have to help me come up with ideas, such as how to sneak into the palace - you have to find a logical reason!" ”

Lian Nanchun's face was cold, and he exhaled angrily: "You Ling Daxia is shrewd and wise, just decide for yourself, do you still need me?" Then he ignored him, and he didn't look back.

Ling Yun looked at her distant back, shook his head slightly, and smiled helplessly......

Ouchi Imperial Palace, in the courtyard of Qixia Pavilion. The mandarin duck tile is cold, and the frost is dignified; The sky is at night, bleak as water.

The princess Mo Shuiling was upset, she sent Xiuju, Caiping and other maids out, she just wanted to be quiet.

Leaning on the railing alone, silently staring at the bleak cold moon in the blue night sky, she was lonely, her heart was melancholy, and she couldn't help but murmur softly:

"Go up to the west building alone without a word, and the moon is like a hook.

Lonely Wutong deep courtyard, lock Qingqiu.

Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful,

I have a special taste in my heart......"

At this time, there was a sudden noise under the flower tree in front of the courtyard, which startled the two little finches on the branches, fluttering their wings and flying straight into the night sky.

Concubine Ling couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "Who? ……”

The shadow behind the flower tree flashed, and a person's figure slowly dissected from behind the shadow of the tree, and walked slowly towards her.

His clothes fluttered, and his brow frowned slightly; The gloomy face was filled with a sad look that could not be concealed, a sad smile hung on the corner of his lips, and a touch of water in his blurred eyes.

Even though he was walking on the cusp of the world, he was still calm at that moment, as if all the hustle and bustle of the world had been shielded from his heart.

Familiar figures, familiar eyes...... Concubine Ling was stunned for a while, staring blankly at the person standing in front of her and thinking about it, almost suspiciously in a dream.

The person who came was Du Zhenghai, and seeing that there was no one around, he dragged the spirit concubine into the room quickly, and closed the door again.

Concubine Ling eased up, a slightly surprised and confused look appeared on her face, and murmured, "Brother Du, is it really you?" I'm not dreaming, am I? ……”

"It's not a dream, it's real." Du Zhenghai shook his head gently, "Ling'er, are you doing well these days?" ”

Concubine Ling's eyes darkened, and she smiled reluctantly, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Du Zhenghai hurriedly turned around and hid behind the door, but it was a team of royal guards patrolling at night who passed by in front of the door. Although it was a false alarm, Concubine Ling was also shocked.

When they were far away, Concubine Ling Fang said in a trembling voice: "Brother Du, it's too dangerous here—if there is nothing else, you ...... Let's go! ”

Du Zhenghai said: "No, I came here to ask for your help on a very important matter." ”

Concubine Ling was slightly stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Du Zhenghai told Concubine Lingfei about Lu Wenzheng's framing and imprisonment, and finally asked: "Ling'er, if you need your help for Lord Lu's grievances, will you refuse?" ”

Concubine Ling resolutely said: "Of course not! At the beginning, my sister was persecuted and died tragically by Ding Jiwu's family, if it weren't for Lord Lu's fearlessness and righteous help, how could my sister's grievances be revealed?

"Now that Lord Lu has been framed by a traitor and sunk to the bottom of the sea, as long as he can clear his grievances and save his life, let alone help, he will not hesitate to let me die!"

Du Zhenghai said: "Ling'er, you are serious. Actually, this matter only needs you to ......," he said, leaning closer to Concubine Ling's side and whispering a few words softly.

It turned out that after Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun returned to the Divine Doctor Villa that day, everyone discussed how to sneak into the palace together.

Although Lian Nanchun did not agree with Ling Yun's single adventure, he was forced to reluctantly agree with his opinion in the end due to the current situation. Everyone discussed for a long time, so they thought of asking Concubine Ling for help......

After that, Du Zhenghai said: "It's really ashamed to say that our two dignified men with eyebrows are reluctant to ask a weak woman for help, and I am really uneasy to think about it." Ling'er, if you feel embarrassed, we can find another way. ”

Concubine Ling said: "Why did Brother Du say this, it is my honor to be able to serve you and Brother Ling. Don't be verbose, how should I do it now, and ask Brother Du to make it clear. ”

Du Zhenghai said: "Is there a vacancy in the palace now?" No matter what position he is, as long as he can let Brother Ling have a place to live in the big house. ”

Concubine Ling frowned and groaned slightly, "This...... I don't know very well. Otherwise, tomorrow I'll ask Feng Chaoying, the head of the Great Interior, and Father-in-law Feng-"

Du Zhenghai said: "It's not appropriate. If you go to him, it will be easy to reveal your identity. ”

Concubine Ling said: "Then what should I do?" ……”

The two of them were groaning, and suddenly heard a sneer outside the window, Du Zhenghai's face changed, his eyes looked out like a torch, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ……”
