Jin Gui'er looked embarrassed and didn't dare to refute, he stepped forward and handed the pen and paper to Ling Zhiqiao, and put the ink on the ground, he used his body to block the queen's view, and then stuffed the long skirt under Ling Zhiqiao's knees into some more, and then he said in a very small voice: "Say hold on for a while." ”

Ling Zhiqiao was also mentally prepared for a long time, she nodded, after Jin Gui'er stepped back, Ling Zhiqiao laid out paper, picked up a pen, and dipped ink, she was just about to start writing and stopped and looked up and asked the queen: "Niangniang, which female virtue scripture did you ask your courtiers to write silently, is it the one when selecting the crown princess?" ”

Empress Jiang sneered: "The article that the palace asked you to write silently is the one you handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that you copied it for a night and didn't finish copying, according to that hour, you can write silently until the palace is about to close, anyway, the palace is fine?" ”

Jin Gui'er said in her heart that it was not good, not to mention that Miss Ling, even if she was a Song female official who knew it by heart, she would have to copy it for a long time, and if she waited for Miss Ling to finish copying, her knees would probably be useless.

Ling Zhiqiao also said the same thing in her heart, if no one came to rescue her today, it seemed that she would not be able to leave, she smiled and said to the queen mother: "Niangniang, then don't worry." ”

Ling Zhiqiao knelt on the ground unhurriedly in a very strange posture, her buttocks were pouting, and her elbows were on the ground while she was writing, wondering how she could get out today, if she didn't go to the peony garden, would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come back to her? There may be an excuse to get out then.

She writes very slowly, because Ling Zhiqiao knows that even if she writes silently until the evening, she can't finish it, so it is in vain to write, it is better to consume it like this, Ling Zhiqiao doesn't believe it, the queen can sit here and watch her stay for a day.

After about half an hour, Ling Zhiqiao's knees were a little unbearable, she almost didn't lie on the ground, and there were more than thirty words written on the piece of paper in front of her.

After another half an hour, Xiao Qinxue walked in, and when she saw her appearance, she was very proud, she walked to Ling Zhiqiao's side and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the courtiers have finished their studies today, and they are about to leave the palace." ”

Queen Jiang, who was also a little tired, said: "Then go back!" You don't have to enter the palace during this period of the prince's envoy, and when His Royal Highness comes back, let him decide which of you is the crown princess! ”

"Queen Xie, the courtiers are retiring." Xiao Qinxue couldn't hide her joy, she turned around and whispered to Ling Zhiqiao: "Sister, don't be impatient, it is estimated that you won't need the carriage now, and I will send a coachman to wait for you at the gate of the palace in the evening."

Ling Zhiqiao straightened her waist, she slapped her back and said, "Thank you sister for your concern, I don't write this, so I can hurry back to the house to find out who is the poisoner?" ”

Xiao Qinxue glared at her and left the palace with a sneer.

Cut!

Ling Zhiqiao habitually snorted, began to frown again, and wrote on the paper that at this time, Du Yunfei had been waiting for Ling Zhiqiao in the peony garden for an hour and a half, and the more he waited, the more impatient he became, so he asked the little eunuch beside him: "You go back and see, why hasn't the queen finished asking Ling Zhiqiao yet?" ”

After a while, the little eunuch came back, and he panted and said: "Your Highness, the little slave saw Miss Ling kneeling on the ground, writing something, and the little slave inquired, saying that the queen mother asked Miss Ling to kneel and write the Four Virtues of the Female Emperor silently, saying that it was written silently until the palace was about to close."

Su Jian looked at the large cluster of white peony flowers in front of him, showing a dazzling halo illuminated by the sun, he gently picked off a petal and said in his heart, His Royal Highness wants this flower, but you have to let her wither, I don't want it, but you have to fertilize her, Queen Mother! You really don't know anything about your son.

"Go back to the palace." Twilight Yunfei flew the petals out of his hand, he had already made up his mind in his heart, since the queen mother had made Ling Zhiqiao an alternative to the crown princess, of course he had to seize the opportunity, no matter what the queen mother's reason was, he also wanted to get Ling Zhiqiao.

Twilight Yunfei hurriedly stepped into the palace, Jin Gui'er thought it was the second highness Twilight Yunhan, but seeing that it was the crown prince, he also let go of his heart a little, he thought to himself that it didn't matter which Highness he was, someone would come to rescue Miss Ling.

When Jin Gui'er knew that the queen mother was going to come to the imperial palace, she had already sent someone to send a letter to the second highness Du Yunhan, and it was a coincidence that Du Yunhan and Han left General Xiao's military camp early in the morning to prepare for tomorrow's envoy to the Western Regions allies.

Twilight Yunhan wanted to keep a low profile, since he was going to confirm the whereabouts of the prince of the book, it was not a formal visit, and there was no post, so naturally there was no need to make a big show, he was discussing with General Xiao how many people to take to the appropriate one, when he saw Han Li entering the big tent, he looked like he wanted to say something and stopped.

Twilight Yunhan looked at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, General Xiao is not an outsider." ”

Han Li immediately replied: "Second Highness, General Xiao, and the little father-in-law Jin Gui'er sent someone to send a message that the queen mother is punishing Miss Ling to write the Four Virtues of the Female Emperor silently in the Imperial Palace, and even if Miss Ling kneels until dark, she may not be able to finish writing it silently." ”

"What?" Xiao Qian stood up calmly, and immediately became angry.

Twilight Cloud Han's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, "Did the messenger just find this?" ”

Han Li replied: "Someone said that the little father-in-law Jin Gui'er had already asked him to come to His Highness, but I didn't expect us to leave the palace today." ”

Twilight Yunhan couldn't sit still, he got up and said, "Go back to the palace immediately." ”

"The old man will also go with His Highness, if he kneels until the night, Qiao'er's knee will not be abolished." Xiao Qian was in a hurry to go out with Twilight Yunhan.

Du Yunhan stopped Xiao Qian and said: "General Xiao, if you go back with you, you won't have to clash with the queen mother head-on, so the gains outweigh the losses, you still stay in the barracks, and this king promises to bring Qiao Er back safely." ”

Xiao Qian said helplessly: "It's okay, the old man will go back to the general's mansion earlier today and wait." ”

"General Xiao, the king of tomorrow will bring a team of people, just ask the commander who brought Jiang Dawei to prepare all the men and horses to wait at the gate of the palace, and don't forget that Qiao Er reminded that the prince of the book may also be in Kyoto City, and the general also needs to pay attention." Before Du Yunhan left, he didn't forget to tell General Xiao.

"The old man is guarding Kyoto, so rest assured! Let's go. Xiao Qian urged.

Du Yunhan and Han Li were in a hurry to rush towards the palace, and at this time, Du Yunfei had already returned to the Imperial Palace, Jin Gui'er bore the brunt of the salute to His Royal Highness the Prince, also to remind Ling Zhiqiao that someone who could save him was coming, and he said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are back." ”

Twilight Yunfei paced to Ling Zhiqiao's side, and seeing that she had already written a full article, Ling Zhiqiao looked up sideways and glanced at Twilight Yunfei pitifully, and said delicately, "Your Highness." ”

Twilight Yunfei's heart felt like he had been beaten by something, and he immediately felt sour, he turned his head and asked the queen mother, "Queen Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

"This palace is teaching her etiquette rules, didn't His Highness see it?" Queen Jiang changed her hand and put her forehead on it, in fact, she had been sitting here for two hours, and she also felt a little tired, and the phoenix crown on her head began to sink more and more.

Twilight Yunfei said with a gloomy face, "Teach her etiquette, and she doesn't need to kneel!" Besides, as far as what she writes now, Ling Zhiqiao can already memorize it, and Mama Qing and Lady Song who taught her can testify, don't you think it's a bit too much, Queen Mother? ”

"Presumptuous!"

Empress Jiang put down her hand holding her forehead and shouted: "Twilight Yunfei, you have stiffened your wings when you become the crown prince, and you dare to say that this palace has done this too much." "Empress Jiang's implication is that she wants to beat Twilight Yunfei, just because of this palace's extra moves, you can become the crown prince.

How could Twilight Yunfei not understand the meaning of the queen mother's words, but he still said strongly: "Queen mother, the son does not disobey you, but the crown princess is determined by the son and son, and it should be disciplined by the son and son, so it is better to worry less about the queen mother in the future and hand over this power to the son and son?" ”

Empress Jiang sneered, stood up, stared at Twilight Yunfei with a pair of cold and vicious eyes, and said: "The power you want is not in the hands of the queen mother, when you succeed to the throne, your power is supreme, so now you can only listen to this palace, who made you the son of this palace?" ”

She slowly paced up to Twilight Yunfei, a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of her lips, and said, "This palace will let you see what power is now?" ”

"Ling Zhiqiao, don't you write it quickly!"

Ling Zhiqiao was also extremely depressed in her heart, it was not that she looked down on Du Yunfei, but she did feel that Du Yunfei was less domineering than His Second Highness, and lacked some aura, hoping that he could save her, it seemed that the hope was a little small, she quickly replied to Queen Jiang's words: "Queen Mother, what is the courtier's writing?" ”

Empress Jiang's smile deepened, she looked down at Ling Zhiqiao's hand that was writing, and she said, "Mama Wang, come over and hold her hand for the palace." ”

"Queen Mother, what are you going to do?" Twilight asked eagerly.

Empress Jiang didn't say anything, but laughed and stepped on Ling Zhiqiao's hand where she was holding the pen, and crushed it with her heel.

A heart-piercing pain made Ling Zhiqiao sweat suddenly, if she really used her strength, that Mama Wang would not be able to hold her down at all, how could she let Queen Jiang succeed, but she couldn't fight back, but could only endure it.

Twilight Yunfei said angrily, "Queen Mother, you, you let go." As he spoke, he was about to squat down and move Queen Jiang's feet.

Empress Jiang said proudly: "Twilight Yunfei, when you become the emperor, you can be above the palace, this is called power, if you dare to intercede for her again, the palace will abolish her hand." ”

Twilight Yunfei was also panicked, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Asking the queen mother to be kind, it is the son's retainer who is presumptuous, and begging the queen mother to spare her is the son's fault." ”

"If you admit your mistake now, will it be too late, get out of the way of Hongu."

Ling Zhiqiao's right hand had begun to seep blood, and the broken brush shaft was deeply pierced into her hand, Jin Gui'er couldn't care much more, and also knelt down and pleaded: "Niangniang, if Miss Ling's hand is really useless, the General's Mansion will definitely sue Your Majesty, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will blame it, it's not worth it, for a girl who doesn't fall into the eyes of the mother, it's not worth it." ”

Empress Jiang was a little hesitant when she heard Jin Gui'er's words, she was a little relieved, looking at Ling Zhiqiao's miserable white face, she became proud, and before she could reprimand again, she heard the little eunuch report outside: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Second Highness, here." ”

Empress Jiang immediately retracted her feet and glanced at Mama Wang, who immediately retreated to a hidden place, and she also walked back to the high seat slowly.

Du Yunfei immediately went to look at Ling Zhiqiao's hand, only to see that the broken brush was stabbed obliquely in Ling Zhiqiao's fish, and the blood flowed all over the ground, which had already stained the scripture copied by Ling Zhiqiao, and he wanted to pull it out but didn't know whether to pull it out or not.

His Majesty Emperor Dui Yunhan entered the palace first, and saw Ling Zhiqiao kneeling on the ground, and the crown prince Dui Yunfei and Jin Gui'er were also kneeling beside him, both staring at Ling Zhiqiao nervously, he stepped forward quickly, pushed Dui Yunfei away and said, "Qiao'er." ”

Seeing Ling Zhiqiao's hand, Du Yunhan gasped, and he quickly squatted down and said, "You tell me, whether to pull it out or not." ”

Ling Zhiqiao's lips were pale, her eyes were full of stars, and now that her hands were wooden, she couldn't feel any pain, she actually smiled at Du Yunhan and said, "Second Highness, you can't pull it out now, let's pull it out when we go back!" ”

Twilight Yunhan touched his body, there was nothing to stop the bleeding, he asked Jin Gui'er, "Do you have a sweat towel on your body?" ”

Jin Gui'er immediately touched his body, and really brought a sweat towel, he handed it to Duyun Han and said, "Quickly wrap it around Miss Ling!" With that, he got up and went to help the prince Twilight Fly, who had been pushed away by Twilight Yunhan.

Twilight Yunfei was unwilling, he shook off Jin Gui'er's hand and said to Twilight Yunhan: "Twilight Yunhan, this is the Taiwo, it's not your turn to give orders here." ”

With anger and disdain in his eyes, Du Yunhan said, "Your Highness, your palace is the same as Fengluan Palace, and it is the queen mother who is in charge.
