Chapter 183: The Events of the Year
After returning to the room, Su Yiyuan was still so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Although she promised Su Jingchao to come to participate in the competition, she never took winning the position of saint as her goal.
But after Li Moxing mentioned it just now, she felt that it was okay.
"Sister Su."
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from his ears, interrupting Su Yiyuan's thoughts.
When she turned her head, it turned out that Xie Yuzhen, who was on the bed, was calling her.
"Why did you wake up?"
Xie Yuzhen sat up from the bed wrapped in the quilt: "I woke up just now, and I heard you talking to someone, I called you at that time, but you didn't answer."
Su Yiyuan: "......"
She's outside, how can you hear her?
"Sister Su, is it Brother Ling Wang who is looking for you? Do I hear him?"
Su Yiyuan was suddenly helpless, this girl really likes to inquire about everything.
"What did he come to you for? Shall I have a tryst with you?"
Su Yiyuan couldn't cry or laugh, and pulled the quilt and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I encouraged me to participate in the competition, it's not early, let's go to sleep."
But where Xie Yuzhen could sleep, her mind was full of curiosity, and she smiled innocently: "Sister Su, don't hide it from me, I already knew that Brother Ling Wang was interested in you, and you also like Brother Ling Wang."
Su Yiyuan really didn't know how to answer her words.
After thinking for a while, he said, "He did say something to me, but with the situation we are in now, it is impossible to control it, so it is better to play well first."
Xie Yuzhen nodded: "That's right, when the game is over, we'll go to him to play."
Finally coaxed her, Su Yiyuan closed his eyes with peace of mind.
The next day, the training in Zhilan Palace continued as usual, and the other palaces conducted further checks on all personnel.
Bai Yuexiu and Li Moxing worked early in the morning, and the Yin Yang Pavilion assisted the Tianwei and the forbidden army, and checked all the personnel one by one according to the roster.
In addition, the forbidden army also searched the corners of various palaces, whether it was gutters and alleys, or dry wells and fish ponds, they searched inch by inch until they were sure that no place was missing.
Such a large amount of search was also a challenge for the forbidden army, so they had to divide all the horses into several teams and carry out them one by one.
The Yin Yang Pavilion and Chaotianwei checked all the palace maids and eunuchs, and only the identity of the concubines was checked by the queen.
After a series of work is done, it is already dusk.
The queen sat on the phoenix couch and was tired, and it happened that King Rong came to say hello after finishing an errand, so she relaxed and received her.
There is no estrangement between the biological mother and son, and besides, King Rong has been busy with official business recently and hasn't come over for a few days.
"Quickly bring the prince's favorite dim sum, and remember to add the plum that has been paid tribute this year to the tea, so that it tastes fragrant."
The personal palace maid immediately complied, and after everything was ready, she retreated with the palace people who were waiting.
There were no outsiders, and the queen's face immediately showed a trace of worry.
"Yuan'er, what news have you received lately?"
King Rong blew fragrant tea: "What does the queen mother mean by this?"
The queen sighed lightly and told Concubine Jing about fainting in the dormitory last night.
After hearing this, King Rong showed a shocked expression: "What is the relationship between this Concubine Jing and Princess Rui?"
The queen said: "Concubine Jing and Princess Rui were old acquaintances before entering the palace, and it is said that the two are like sisters, and they have grown up together since childhood, and they did not neglect to communicate until Concubine Jing entered the palace."
King Rong pondered for a moment and said, "Does she know what happened back then?"
The queen shook her head, and there was some doubt in her eyes.
"I'm in charge of the harem, so naturally I want to share your father's worries, after she woke up last night, I asked about it in front of her, she was very scared at the time, and when she talked about the death of Princess Rui, she was also full of regret, and she didn't seem to know the details."
King Rong's face turned a little colder: "If she really didn't know what happened back then, how could she suddenly mention Princess Rui at this juncture?"
The queen shook her head, "I feel strange too. After the incident, all the people involved in this matter were disposed of by me, and looking at the entire palace, except for you, me, mother and son, there will never be a third person who knows."
King Rong's expression did not move: "The queen mother forgot, there is also King Ling."
The queen's eyes flashed with coldness, and she said, "But when the incident happened, he had just been born, so it was impossible for him to know this."
King Rong clenched his right hand into a fist, put it on the table and said, "I don't know if the sons are too careful, but I just feel that since then, King Ling and his sons are no longer as close as before, and according to the people I arranged, the back garden of King Ling's mansion has been listed as a forbidden place since last year, except for King Ling and his personal guards, no one else is forbidden to enter."

The queen's expression immediately sharpened: "Is there such a thing?"
King Rong nodded: "At first, Erchen only thought that King Ling's appearance was ruined and he needed a place to recuperate, but now that more than a year has passed, that forbidden land is still guarded by guards, and outsiders have no way of knowing what happened inside."
The queen showed hatred: "It seems that this palace is raising tigers after all, you must find out as soon as possible what King Ling has done behind our back."
King Rong arched his hand: "Erchen knows."
After a pause, he said, "Queen Mother, how should we deal with Concubine Jing's matter this time?"
The queen thought carefully and said, "Let's wait and see what happens, this palace will send someone to pay attention to the situation in her palace at all times, and if there is a difference, it will not be too late to deal with it."
King Rong arched his hand: "Then it will be troublesome to the queen mother, and the sons will retire."
Half an hour later, the carriage of King Rong's mansion appeared outside King Ling's mansion, and the servants hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
King Rong said, "Can your prince be in the house?"
The servant said respectfully, "If you go back to Your Highness, my prince has not gone out today."
King Rong nodded, and walked directly past him towards the courtyard.
How dare the servant be lazy, and immediately trot to the back garden to spread the word.
King Rong divided the flowers and willows all the way, and when he arrived at King Ling's courtyard, he didn't see anyone, so he asked the guards guarding the courtyard.
"Where's your master?"
Zhu Lu arched his hand: "Back to Your Highness, the prince went to Mrs. Wei's courtyard to rest last night, and he hasn't come back yet."
King Rong smiled playfully: "Your prince is really good Yaxing, this busy work is really incomparable to others."
Zhu Lu still lowered his head: "Let His Highness see and laugh."
The two of them left the main courtyard and walked towards the garden.
Someone from Mrs. Wei's side had already gone to spread the word, and after a while, she saw King Ling wearing a plain robe walking from the path in the distance.
King Rong stood outside the pavilion in the garden, and when he got closer, he smiled and said, "Looking at the second brother's energetic appearance, he should be in good health recently."
King Ling raised his hand and invited him into the pavilion, and while waiting for someone to serve tea, he said, "Let the third brother bother, my body is indeed much better than before."
King Rong nodded: "Just now after I entered the palace, I asked me about your current situation, so I rushed over as soon as I left the palace."
A look of shame flashed in King Ling's eyes: "Is it for brother, let you and the queen mother waste your mind in vain, by the way, how are those things in the palace handled today?" Did it frighten the queen mother?"
King Rong smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "The queen mother is not frightened, but Concubine Jing is a little strange, saying that she saw what Princess Rui, who is this King Rui, can the second brother know?"
