Chapter 120 Ningxiao Hall Xiao Concubine Yuechan
The next morning, the time was coming, and the sky was just beginning to turn white. Feng Yuqi was about to get up and wash and prepare to go to the court.
"Ling Xiao, you can sleep a little longer." Feng Yuqi was about to lift the quilt and get up. Seeing that Ling Xiao also woke up, he helped her press the corner of the quilt to stop her from getting up. "It's still early. What are you doing when you get up so early?"
A sweet smile overflowed from the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth, but he did not take the opportunity to lie back and still got up with Feng Yuqi. Naturally, he took the dragon robe to help him put it on, carefully flattened the cuffs, and smoothed the small creases on his back.
Seeing her insistence, Feng Yuqi didn't say anything more, but enjoyed the feeling of being carefully served by his wife. Although he was served like this in other people, he always felt that Ling Xiao brought him a different feeling from others.
Waiting for better clothes, he called the palace man to f for water, rinse his mouth, clean his face, and when he was cleaned up, the sky seemed to be a little brighter. Feng Yuqi went to the court, and it was still early for Ling Xiao to see the time, and it was still early to leave Zhaoyang Palace. The two of them had another way to go together, so they saw him off for a while.
The air in the morning seems to be particularly fresh, as if you can smell the dewdrops on the flowers. Although it is summer, it is a little cool at this moment. The red sun in the sky also seems to have no strength, and it does not try its best to dissipate heat, but this temperature will also be suitable.
Feng Yuqi's expression was about the same as when he reviewed the memorial last night. He frowned slightly. Maybe he was thinking about something to discuss with the ministers for a while. And Ling Xiao is also thinking about something else at this moment. I don't know if Ling Yuechan has left when she returned to Qiluan Hall. She doesn't want to see her again!
Both of them have their own things to do, but when they walk, they will unconsciously look at each other. A shallow smile is enough to make each other's heart flutter, which is very tacit.
Walking to the fork, the two stopped.
"Your Majesty, you go to court, and my concubine will not go back to her palace. It's not far from Zhaoyang Palace at the intersection in front of you. After a while, I will just go to say hi." Ling Xiao said, and helped Feng Yuqi tidy up the crown, which was a little reluctant.
Feng Yuqi shook her hand and nodded, "Well, then I will..."
I was saying goodbye. No one expected that a few people would suddenly break out of the oblique thorn at this time! Seeing that it was the emperor, he was so scared that he knelt down, as if he didn't expect to disturb the holy driver here, but as long as you pay attention, you will find that there are obviously a few surprises on the woman's panicked face.
Feng Yuqi frowned and was about to look over, but he heard a "bang" sound, as if something fell at his feet, and he glanced down - as soon as his eyes touched the thing on the ground, it immediately seemed to be frozen, and he could no longer move a little.
"Big..." Ling Xiao was originally with his back to the visitor. He was about to turn his head and scold. He was also attracted by the sound of objects falling to the ground and looked to the ground. Suddenly, his face turned pale.
On the road paved with bluestone slabs, a slightly faded and worn red rope, stringed with a small shell, was lying quietly on the ground. In the faint red light in the morning, it seemed to be stained with a light colored halo.
Obviously, the woman behind her fell out of her arms when she was kneeling in panic!
Ling Xiao seemed to think of something, and even his fingertips trembled uncontrollably and slowly turned around. Finally, when he saw Ling Yuechan's shy and timid face, his face turned pale. In particular, Feng Yuqi's expression fell into her eyes at the same time. With a sudden "boom" in her mind, everything around her began to become messy.
She clearly knew what the shell necklace on the ground meant to Feng Yu. Now, it has fallen out of Ling Yuechan's arms.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. The daughter of the people didn't mean to hit you!" Ling Yuechan still knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Her thin shoulders trembled slightly in the morning wind, looking pitiful.
"Sxiaoer?" Feng Yuqi couldn't believe it. He tried and asked gently.
Two simple words floated into Ling Xiao's ears. She only felt that the "rumbling" in her ears was ringing more and more, and there was even a feeling that she could no longer hear any other sound.
However, she still heard it and heard it clearly. Ling Yuechan hesitated a little, and the surprise, surprise, understanding, and ecstasy in her eyes flashed by, followed by a shy and soft voice, as thin as a mosquito and flies: "Your Majesty." After saying that, he lowered his head and left only his face crimson.
This is the default.
Everything afteris like a dream.
Ling Xiao didn't know how he went to Zhaoyang Hall and how he invited the queen to say good to him. I only remember in a trance that the medicine concubine and Yao concubine seemed to have messed with her. I don't know whether it was Lin Xuanyu or Lu Qianmo who helped her relieve the siege. Fortunately, the queen did not embarrass her.
When she left, Lin Xuanyu also asked her if it was okay. She just shook her head gently.
Silently returned to Qiluan Hall. Zhu Er and Erlan were kneeling at the door and beg for their sins.
"What's going on?" It was Qingwu who asked, a little hurried, a little sharp, and his eyes were red.
The two people kneeling at the door knocked down at the same time, with a heavy life muffled sound, and the sound of their skulls pounding on the cold bluestone board.
"Little Lord, it's the fault of the maidservant, it's all the fault of the maidservant!" Zhu Er had already burst into tears, cried and climbed to Ling Xiao's feet, pulled the corner of her skirt, and blamed herself out of breath. Last night, I was on duty, but when I saw that the little master was so favored, it was so late, and the emperor sent someone to pick you up. The maidservant was proud for a moment and relaxed. And yesterday, that Ling Yuechan was just..."
"Enough!" As soon as Zhu Er mentioned the three words "Ling Yuechan", Ling Xiao's face became paler in an instant. Qingwu immediately shouted and asked, "So, you are relaxed, so you give people the opportunity to steal the little master's things, don't you?"
"Let's go in and talk about it." Ling Xiao closed his eyes, leaned on Qingwu, forced to say this sentence, and walked to the inner hall. Step by step, she walked very slowly. It seemed that every step consumed her countless strength, and she didn't want people to see her weakness, but insisted on maintaining her usual elegant posture.
Several people entered the inner hall, and Huaiyuan guarded at the door. Ling Xiao leaned on the Hehefu fairy pear wooden chair. In front of him, only Qingwu, Erlan and Zhuer knelt on the ground, and the air was silent as if water was about to ooze.
Finally, Er Lan knelt down solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Little Lord, Zhu'er's vigil is not strict, which gives people a opportunity to take advantage of it. This crime is unforgivable. However, the maidservant is the maid of honor in charge of Qiluant Hall, and the maidservant asks for punishment." After saying that, he knelt down again and then said, "Also, the little master explained that she had to search her body before leaving the palace and could not take away the needles and threads of Qiluantang. However, when Zhu Er went to check the little master's inner room, she found that there seemed to be something missing."
Thinking of Ling Yuechan, who should have left the palace an hour ago, actually appeared in the Qiluan Hall again, and there was still the emperor beside him. Their eyes were even affectionate, and Er Lan is still in shock. Although she still doesn't know what important things Ling Yuechan has taken away from Ling Xiao, she also knows that it must be the same. Moreover, she also guessed that there was likely to be some kind of deadly connection between the two.
Looking at the two maids in front of him who had always trusted and listened to their self-reproach and pleas, Ling Xiao suddenly did not want to investigate who was responsible.
"Elan, didn't you ask you to send Ling Yuechan out of the palace? Why did she appear on the Qingshi Road where the emperor went up to the court? Seeing Ling Xiao's indifference and not saying a word, Qingwu couldn't help it and asked urgently.
Erlan also showed a confused expression and said, "To be honest, I'm also very confused. I watched her walk out of the Zhenshun Gate with her two maidservants. I also specially told the doorkeeper that this is Ling Jieyu's... Somehow, they will come back again. I don't know how the emperor sent it back.
"Then why didn't you find it when you searched..."
"Green fog." Ling Xiao finally opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't ask again." At this point, what's the use of pursuing these?
For so long in the palace, if she is still so easily defeated, it will not be her Lingxiao. Since I was a child, I was not liked by my father. The daughter of the magistrate lived as much as the farmer's daughter, and even sold flowers along the street. Later, her lifelong events were manipulated, and she could run away from home regardless of the secular world and consequences. After entering the palace, he experienced so many plots and calculations, didn't he come step by step? Ling Xiao has never been weak.
Ling Xiao stood up, his eyes were burning, and he looked at the three of them and said, "Listen carefully. What has happened, I don't want to pursue who it is anymore, and I don't want to tell you the whole story of this matter. Now, as long as you know, Ling Yuechan should be looked up by the emperor.
When it came to the last sentence, even if he pretended to be strong, he still revealed a trace of trembling. Ling Xiao continued, "The three of you are the people I trust the most. But, I'll say it now, you keep it in mind."
The three of them bowed to the end at the same time and answered in unison, "Listen to the little master's instructions."
"We are all people in the same boat. We have both glory and loss. From now on, you should follow me absolutely and assist me with absolute loyalty. You must not have two hearts. Otherwise." Ling Xiao rarely showed such a hot look, "Otherwise, I will never tolerate it. If such a situation happens again today, then don't explain to me and ask for guilt. Go to Shen Xingsi by yourself."
Everyone was united and solemnly responded. Especially Zhu Er and Er Lan, they knew that they had made a big mistake. The little master forgave them this time. Next time, it's hard to say. In the future, when they make up for their mistakes, if they do it again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to forgive themselves.
At noon, the imperial edict came down, and Ling Yuechan, the sister of Ling Jieyu, was appointed as the concubine, and gave her the Yingxian Palace and the Ningxiao Hall.
The palace is boiling.
Ling Yuechan moved out of Qiluan Hall. She didn't have much, but she was still very noisy when she left. Ling Xiao lay on **, covered the quilt over her head, but she still couldn't stop the noise coming out of the window, which made her have a headache.
I don't know how long it took before the palace gradually calmed down.
I still remember that when Ling Yuechan first entered the palace, the medicine concubine said, "Although your sister is not from the palace now, who knows if it will be in the future?" If there is such a day, it will not be against the rules."
