Xu Jing couldn't see through the woman in front of her, and was silent for a moment before she said very officially: "If the concubine really wants this, the saint will definitely try his best to fulfill the concubine's wishes." ”

Princess Ling looked at Xu Jing directly, and said with a smile: "Although Mrs. Xu said this, the expression on her face was clearly not believing in this palace."

Also, it is said that blood is thicker than water, no matter what the palace says, the blood of the Jiang family left on the body of the palace is constantly cut, not to mention that the husband of the is precisely because of the Jiang family that the has arrived on the battlefield full of dangers, and the will be worried that the palace will be biased towards the Jiang family's group of rebels, which is normal.

When the saw the first face of the palace, her expression was a little abrupt, but she was afraid that she had mistaken the palace for someone else. ”

The corners of Xu Jing's eyebrows jumped slightly.

She thought that Fang Cai's gaffe was only for a moment, and she quickly put it away.

Unexpectedly, it was still noticed by Princess Ling.

"That's it, in order to prove the sincerity of this palace, this palace told one thing."

Concubine Ling picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, and said lightly: "Among the soldiers brought by General Han, there is a soldier named Qiao and his entourage and a person named Fang Yan, Xu Niangzi can let General Han go to check, they should all be from the Jiang family." ”

Princess Ling's unexpected words shocked everyone slightly, and Zhang Tingshi glanced at Xu Jing in disbelief almost immediately.

Xu Jing didn't look at him, she looked at Princess Ling with deep eyes, and said, "Since Concubine Niangniang knows that they are from the Jiang family, why didn't she tell General Han before?" ”

Princess Ling glanced at Xu Jing and smiled lightly, "Mrs. Xu, what do you think this palace is playing?" Previously, the palace did not tell General Han about this, because it was only in the past two days that the palace confirmed that they were members of the Jiang family.

In fact, yesterday afternoon, when Hongu was walking in the courtyard behind the inn after dinner, this soldier named Qiao and his party suddenly walked out of the corner and collided with Hongu.

And he took this opportunity to stuff a note into Bengong's hand, and at that time, Bengong saw another soldier sneaking towards us from a distance, that was Fang Yan.

Bengong can be sure that Qiao and his entourage are from the Jiang family, as for whether Fang Yan is or not, Bengong doesn't know.

The names of the two of them were later asked by Mama Lu to check by the palace, even if the lady didn't come today, the palace was going to tell General Han. ”

Xu Jing looked at her for a while and said, "Is the concubine willing to show the note she received yesterday to the courtiers?" ”

"What's wrong with that?"

Princess Ling turned to Mama Lu and said, "Mama Lu, give that note to the." ”

Mama Lu is a woman in her fifties, wearing a dark purple gown, her half-black hair is meticulously combed, her face looks very serious, and she looks like a non-smiling character.

She bowed her head in response, turned around and walked to the dresser on the side, took out a folded note under an open three-layer dressing box, and respectfully handed it to Xu Jing and said, "Please take a look at it." ”

When folded, the note was not large, a quarter the size of a palm, but when opened, it was the size of a palm.

There is not a word on it, only a seal that is printed in the middle, and the word "Jiang" on the seal is majestic and upright.

This is the seal of the Jiang family!

At this time, Princess Ling spoke, "This is a seal that can only be inherited by the heads of the Jiang family in the past dynasties, others may not recognize it, but as long as it is a person from the Jiang family, you can know it at a glance."

Qiao and his entourage gave this note to Bengong, probably just to tell Bengong his identity and let Bengong find a chance to meet him. ”

This also seems to be a temptation, testing Princess Ling's attitude towards the Jiang family.

Princess Ling told her this big secret at this time, was she really determined not to cooperate with the Jiang family?

Xu Jing looked at the note in her hand and didn't speak for a long time.

However, Zhang Tingshi couldn't hold back, and saluted: "The lower official will go out for a while, and report this matter to General Han, if the concubine Niangniang finds anything else, please tell us in time." ”

Princess Ling smiled faintly and said, "This is natural, this palace is still looking forward to you being able to bring this palace and King Ling to Xijing safely." ”

Xu Jing finally took her eyes off the note, looked at Princess Ling and said, "Concubine Niangniang is used to going for a walk in the yard after dinner?" ”

Xu Jing's question may be too jumpy, Princess Ling looked at her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "A deep lady in this palace, what activities can she have on weekdays?" It's nothing more than reading a book, writing, and going for a walk. During this time, I have been on the road, and the main palace is either staying in the carriage or staying in the inn, so there is only a walk left to soothe the mood.

As long as there is time, after the main palace has finished eating, they will walk around. ”

Xu Jing nodded and said, "In this way, the courtiers just went to see King Ling, because of what happened during this time, King Ling's wind and cold were not good, and the courtiers were originally worried that the concubine Niangniang would also be affected." ”

This is said, it seems that Princess Ling is hard-hearted, and so many people around her have died, as if they are unmoved.

Mama Lu immediately frowned, glanced at Xu Jing with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, and said in a slightly deep voice: "Xu Niangzi doesn't know, the concubine always can't sleep well at night because of what happened during this time, and she often gets up very early in the morning, otherwise, a few days ago, the concubine would not have sent someone to buy some tea to calm the nerves and help you sleep."

Princess...... After being killed, the concubine blamed herself from time to time, feeling that she had caused the princess ......"

After all, if Princess Ling was not from the Jiang family, they would not have been taken to Xijing in such a hurry.

Princess Ling may not have an accident.

"Mama Lu, don't talk about it."

Princess Ling lightly interrupted Mama Lu's words, looked at Xu Jing and smiled: "Those poor people are indeed because of this palace that such a terrible thing has happened.

Especially Dongxue, if it wasn't for the early wake-up of the main palace that day, she might not have had an accident......

The Jiang family is really a lifetime of robbery in this palace, how much this palace hopes that this palace was not born in the Jiang family in the first place. ”

It's just that her smile this time is obviously a bit far-fetched and bitter.

When he talked about the Jiang family, his eyes were even more filled with a bit of hatred that could not be concealed for a moment.

Mama Lu immediately said: "Concubine Niangniang, don't say that, how can you be blamed for these things." ”

Xu Jing looked at them for a while, and said: "That's right, the matter of blood is destined by heaven, not by people, so don't think about it so much, be careful of breaking your body."

By the way, Mama Lu, on the night Princess Ling was killed, you went to her room, can you tell me more about what happened at that time? ”

Xu saw that Xu Jing had comforted Princess Ling, and Mama Lu's attitude towards Xu Jing was a little better, and she nodded: "It's okay." The old slave was ordered by the concubine to send a soothing tea to the princess that day, but as soon as she entered the room, Qiu Wen told the old slave that the princess had just leaned on the bed to read a book, and had just fallen asleep, and if the old slave came later, they would also turn off the lights and go to sleep.

The old slave put the tea on the table outside, and told Qiu Wen that if the princess woke up before the tea was completely cool, she could let the princess drink it, and if the princess fell asleep, let her and Bishui drink it by herself. ”

Xu Jing nodded and said, "The guard outside said that you came out after staying in the room for a while, if you just put down the tea, you don't have to stay so long?" ”

"Yes, but the old slave saw that Qiu Wen's face was not very good at that time, and he was worried that something was wrong, so he asked her a few more words."

Xu Jing: "Don't look good?" ”

"Yes, the old slave guessed that Qiu Wen was timid, the murder during this time made her mentally bad, she was serving by the princess's side, and now it was an eventful time, the old slave couldn't help but say a few words to her, let her cheer up, and it couldn't affect the princess."

Xu Jing said thoughtfully: "The princess was already asleep at that time?" Aren't you afraid of affecting the princess's sleep? ”

Mama Lu said a little confused: "This is indeed the old slave's lack of thought, the old slave is just concerned about chaos, and the old slave led Qiu Wen to the corner to speak in a low voice, which should not affect the princess." ”

Xu Jing nodded, suddenly turned to Dongyang on the side, and said, "I heard, Dongyang can't speak?" ”

This time, the person who spoke was Princess Ling, she glanced at Dongyang with some kindness, and said: "Yes, this child can't speak when he was born, Bengong met her on the first day he followed King Ling to Qizhou, she was a little one at that time, kneeling on the side of the road to bury her father, Bengong couldn't bear to look at it, so he took her in."

At that time, she was just over seven years old, and in the blink of an eye, she was so old. ”

Hearing this, Dongyang raised his eyes to look at Princess Ling, and seemed to smile a little shyly, his eyes as docile and harmless as a puppy. (End of chapter)
