Chapter 136: Traitor or Loyal (2)
As soon as they returned to the house, Ling Lichun and his wife Zhu Liuying had already been waiting at the gate of the General's Mansion early, and they were all relieved to see Su Jin and Ling Wanying come back safely.
After saying hello a few times, the group went to the study, and after sending the subordinates away, they looked at Ling Wanying and asked expectantly: "Wanying, everything is fine in the palace these days." ”
"Back to my father's words, Wanying is all right in the palace, and she also met Your Majesty, Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight compared to two years ago, presumably because of state affairs." Ling Wanying said, she couldn't help but clench her fists, she thought that she had been able to restrain herself, but she didn't expect that the moment she saw the enemy, her emotions were still exposed.
"Alas, I know that you are infatuated with Your Majesty, and if he doesn't marry, it's just that now, my mother doesn't want to say anything, I just hope that my son will be happy and smooth in the future." Zhu Liuying's face was soft, she gently hugged Ling Wanying, and said comfortingly: "Mother is reluctant for you to go to the palace, but I know that you love Your Majesty, I hope that after you enter the palace, you will serve the king wholeheartedly, so that this sick love will not be in vain." ”
"My daughter knows." Ling Wanying hugged Zhu Liuying back until there was a soft sound on the roof, Ling Lichun stood up, the vase next to the automatic bookshelf, the bookshelf was removed, the secret passage was revealed, Su Jin came out of the secret passage, and said softly: "That person has been led away." ”
Behind Su Jin were shadow detectives who were similar to Ling Lichun's three people, they pretended to be three people, telling their thoughts in the room these days, and the real Ling Lichun and the others had already entered the secret passage.
"Princess......" Ling Lichun and Zhu Liuying were kneeling down, and were immediately helped up by Su Jin, "General Ling, Mrs. Zhu, you don't have to be like this, I still say the same thing, my father and queen mother died, you are the only relatives of me and Chaoyang in this world, if you are still like this, I ...... Chaoyang"
Su Jin didn't continue, but Ling Lichun already understood what she meant, glanced at his wife, and said: "The gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, and after the two palace masters enter the palace, they will meet again, and I don't know when, the ministers ......."
Ling Lichun continued, how hard the two princesses have worked for so many years, he saw it in his eyes, if it weren't for the Duan family, Her Royal Highness the princess would not have suffered for so many years.
Zhu Liuying couldn't help wiping her tears, he grabbed her husband and said, "Since the princess said so, we will obey it." ”
"Your Highness, today the Duan clan sent a secret guard to spy on you, did you find something? Will Princess Chaoyang enter the palace at this time? Zhu Liuying was a little worried, she and her husband were innocent, and they had nothing to do with the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the Duan family should not be able to find out, but now they sent secret guards over, if it wasn't for Princess Chao Gui who made a secret call in front of the mansion, they would have almost been exposed.
Su Jin looked at Ling Wanying and asked, "Ah Yu, what happened in the palace?" ”
"There is a show girl named Zhu Qing who is missing, she is the concubine of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I came out late today, also because the palace people were ordered by the queen to search, I thought, the emperor should have sent a secret guard to every show girl's house."
Hearing Ling Wanying's words, Ling Lichun breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again: "The palace guards are strict, how could the show girl disappear quietly, fortunately, princess, you are safe and sound." ”
Zhu Liuying also said: "Yes, if you can take away a show girl under so many pairs of eyes, the strength of the person behind it must be unfathomable, the palace is dangerous, and the two highnesses must be careful." ”
Zhu Liuying said, took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Su Jin, and said: "This is the old person in the queen's palace back then, and now thirteen years have passed, and I don't know what their situation is, the princess takes it, if something really happens, she can also have a helper." ”
Su Jin took the envelope, looked at Zhu Liuying gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Liu." ”
Zhu Liuying shook her head, "I don't deserve the princess's thanks, if it weren't for Empress Mingrui and the princess of the town country, Li Chun and I might have died under the horses of the powerful, and now that the benefactor has passed away, we only hate that we are not capable enough to help His Highness more." ”
"Aunt Liu doesn't have to worry, my sister and I have also been in the palace, and entering the palace this time will only be like a fish in water." Ling Wanying opened her mouth and smiled again, "I just said some worried words, but I haven't told you what position I have to seal." ”
"Did you decide on the spot?" Zhu Liuying is different, Su Jin is also a little shocked, in the plot given to her by the system, it seems that on the third day after the end of the draft, someone from the palace announced the decree, and the Ling family knew the level of position.
"Huh." Ling Wanying sneered, "After entering the palace, I was targeted by the show girl in the same room, she provoked the concubine, and the concubine was angry with me, but I never thought that the emperor and Concubine Rou were enjoying the flowers behind the rockery and witnessed everything, maybe this appearance really aroused his pity, he named me a concubine at that time, named Lan, and gave me a residence in the Lan Palace." ”
Ling Wanying recalled Duan Li's eyes when she looked at her, with disgust on her face, "Originally, after being sealed, I couldn't leave the palace, but Concubine Rou said that I should be given a chance to say goodbye to my parents, so I can return home with all the noble girls today. ”
"Concubine Rou?" Zhu Liuying frowned, "It is the daughter of the wealthy businessman Qian family in Suzhou, Duan who was still the prince back then, left Suzhou to investigate the case and brought it back, and has been favored for many years, but because of her low status, she has not been liked by the Queen Mother, but even if she was disgusted by the Queen Mother, Duan Li also made her a concubine after ascending the throne, although she was not one of the four concubines, but it also showed that Duan Li really treated her differently." ”
Ling Wanying recalled Concubine Rou's appearance, it was indeed as soft and beautiful as her title.
"But why did she help His Highness?" Ling Lichun was puzzled.
Ling Wanying shook her head, "I don't know." ”
"Go with your will." Su Jin said.
"Your Highness means that the ...... of that separation" Zhu Liuying frowned and sighed again, "It's not in vain that His Highness started to lay out five years ago." ”
"After Ah Yu and I enter the palace, the outside affairs will depend on Aunt Liu and Uncle Ling, the general's mansion has been low-key in the past few years, and there is no need to contact the Jiangnan side again, everything, wait for Uncle Zhao to come back from the northern Xinjiang......"
Zhu Liuying and Ling Lichun remembered Su Jin's words, and a few of them remembered the secret guards sent by the Duan family, and hurriedly said a few more words, and then went out of the secret passage.
After dinner, Su Jin followed Ling Wanying back to the room, and at night, after Qingsu fell asleep, Ling Wanying took Su Jin's hand and said: "Sister, I killed someone, Zhu Qing was killed by me, she said that she knew my true identity, so that I would be the only one in the palace in the future, I was too panicked at that time, and when she said that only she knew the secret now, but if I was disobedient, I couldn't tell how many people would know in the future, so I pushed her into the well, Sister, I killed someone, but I don't regret it." ”
Su Jin looked at Ling Wanying, who was pale, and said, "Are you afraid that a third person will know what you have done and then affect our plans, right?" ”
