Chapter 154 The world is unbearable

When he came back from the pomegranate pavilion, Ling Xiao did not show any difference. As usual, he sat in front of the window reading books and embroidered flowers, which seemed to be more indifferent and peaceful than before.

The next day, she asked Erlan to put on a big makeup for her. There was doubt in Erlan's eyes, but she didn't ask much.

After cleaning up, Ling Xiao took Qingwu and Erlan and walked to Chengde Palace with a cold face.

"Please inform your father-in-law that Yilan Palace Qiluantang Zhaoyi Ling's visit." Ling Xiao nodded slightly to the doorkeeper.

The internal prisoner dared not, so he trotted all the way in to report. After a while, he came out and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Qingwu and Erlan waited outside the hall and didn't see Ling Xiao coming out of it until dusk. The two looked at her face slightly nervously and found that it was no different from when they went in, but they felt that there was something different, as if it was the originally clear eyes. I don't know when it became so deep and bottomless now, like the ancient well without waves.

The next day, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the queen. It's fierce and unprecedented.

On the third day, Rong Hualing was discarded as a woman. The harem is in an uproar.

"I didn't expect that until now, the emperor is still kind to her." A sarcastic smile appeared at the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth.

"Madam, this was found from Xiao, Ling Cai's girl's room." Zhu Er presented the already faded shell necklace with the red rope in her hand to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao took it, and his eyes were lax, as if through the glitz in front of him, he looked at it for a long time.

"Let's go and see the Ice Concubine."

The ice concubine sat proudly on the couch, still so noble and cold, sharp, which was no different from the first time.

"The Ice Concubine is auspicious." Ling Xiao bent down humbly and respectfully saluted the ice concubine.

"Let's get up." The ice concubine didn't pay much attention to her and hummed coldly.

"How is the Ice Concubine doing recently?" Ling Xiao found a chair and sat down, with a faint smile in his voice, "I think it's excellent. Even the pomegranate flowers behind the Empress's palace are blooming very well. It's this season, and there are still flowers blooming."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed on the ice concubine's face, and she smiled and said, "What do you want to say? You don't have to beat around the bush." The voice is sharp and ironic.

Ling Xiao didn't beat around with her. He stood up and looked at the ice concubine. He looked down at her and said leisurely, "Presumably, when the concubine just entered the palace, it was you who took care of the concubine."

The ice concubine looked stagnant, but she did not deny it.

"If the concubine guesses correctly, the reason why Ling Cainu can enter the emperor's eyes is also your handwriting." Ling Xiao continued, and his smile was still warm.

After a long silence, the ice concubine stood up with a smile. She was not pretentious. The rare smile melted into a room of ice and coldness. In an all of an hour, it was like a gorgeous summer flower.

"Ling Xiao, you are very smart." The ice concubine said with a smile.

The ice concubine looks cold, but she is the hottest one in her heart. Bystander Qing, she had already seen Feng Yuqi's deep feelings for Ling Xiao. As an emperor, he obviously loves Lingxiaohua, but in order to protect those who want to protect her, he doesn't want her to be the target of public criticism, and even he has to cover up.

Yu Bingxin smiled bitterly at the bottom of her heart. When she moved into the ice game palace in the first month, she found the secret. It's just that she doesn't understand why and for whom. Until the woman named Ling Xiao appeared.

She was unwilling. She, who always thought she was honest and unconventional, would secretly instruct others to abuse the woman. She was unwilling. After sensing Ling Yuechan's ambition, she consciously guided her to confuse the audience in front of the emperor and fight with Ling Xiao.

Maybe it's true. Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is no time to force it in life. Even if it goes around in a big circle, so what? Ling Cai's daughter? Ice Concubine? Haha, we are all the same.

The indulgent laughter of the ice concubine came from Ling Xiao. Obviously, it was unprecedented happiness, but inexplicably there was boundless sadness.

Walking out of the Ice Game Palace, Ling Xiao went directly to Chengde Palace, took out the red rope shell in his sleeve and put it in front of Feng Yuqi.

"Ling Xiao, why are you here?" Feng Yuqi was reviewing the medal. Seeing Ling Xiao coming, he put down his pen and raised his head with a smile at the corners of his mouth. Doubt flashed in his eyes. Looking at Ling Xiao's soft and resolute face, a moment, the smile condensed on his face, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Is this?" Feng Yuqi held the shell in the palm of his hand. He was shocked and panicked, but he was at a loss. He was also afraid and hesitant. His usual calmness and the emperor's majesty were completely gone, but he looked like a child at a loss.

"Why did the emperor forget? This is what the emperor gave to my concubine. Ling Xiao smiled a lot, his eyebrows were bent, and there were shallow dimples looming on his cheeks.

No one mentioned Ling Yuechan, no one said that it was taken out of Ling Yuechan's palace, and no one mentioned the people and things nearby.

" Xiaoer." Feng Yuqi stepped forward a few steps and stared at Ling Xiao's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see the depths of her eyes. I thought about it thousands of times, thought about the figure countless times, and gradually coincided with the people in front of me. Finally, he hugged Ling Xiao and trembled uncontrollably. It turned out that it was you.

"I knew it, I knew it for a long time... Ling Xiao, no, Xiaoer, I should have known it was yours... But I... I thought it for a long time..." Feng Yuqi muttered incoherently, wanting to explain something, or wanting to confide in something, I don't know whether it was for Ling Xiao or to appease his confused heart. .

Finally, the forced smiling face could no longer be maintained. For a moment, tears filled the eyelashes. Ling Xiao closed his eyes and felt this dependence with his heart for countless times, but he had never been as warm as today.

"Mother, Ling Cai's daughter disobeyed the holy order and refused to go to the temple." Eunuch Liu personally came into the hall to report to Ling Xiao.

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Please take me to the palace." Ling Xiao raised a cold smile and followed Liu Quan to the cold palace.

"If you want to say that this Ling Cai girl is really not good or evil, in terms of her sins, she will die. The emperor only demoted her to the temple in your face, and she dares to disobey the Holy Order." Along the way, Liu Quan said sarcastically, "The foreign dynasty has turned upside down. She framed the queen. She is really bold! If it hadn't been for the emperor's kindness or a slave, she wouldn't have let her go.

Liu Quan is not such a person who can't calm down. What's more, Ling Yuechan is Ling Xiao's sister anyway. There is a reason why she speaks so boldly this time. The former queen has always been lenient, and even Liu Quan has received her grace. Anyone who is not a wolf-hearted person will always remember it.

The more important reason is that Feng Yuqi hates such intriguers and even people who kill people. In the palace, he can't live without a city government, so he can still understand the fighting heart, but if he takes the initiative to hurt the lives of others when his life is not threatened, this is what he can't forgive.

Ling Yuechan touched his bottom line, but if she really wanted to kill her, Feng Yuqi couldn't do anything. He also took into account Ling Xiao's idea. After all, she came from a family. In fact, there is another reason why it is not humane, which makes him only make Ling Yuechan a monk in a very complicated mind.

Ling Xiao still remembers that night, Feng Yuqi lay in her arms and cried like a child, as if to let out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

"Ling Xiao, I still want to call you Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao, do you know that I always feel that I am full of thoughts that no one can tell me. I always feel that in this world, I am the only one alone, and no one walks with me. I was always looking forward to that person's appearance, but when Ling Yuechan appeared, I was not as happy as I expected. Only by your side, I will have a familiar sense of peace, but I don't want to believe it. I always feel sorry. It seems that something is missing. I always look forward to the little girl in my dream, I sometimes even think, if you were her, how nice it would be.

"It's not that I don't know how many shady things Yue Chan has done, but I'm always cruel..." Feng Yuqi said in pain. Ling Xiao did not interrupt her. She could understand the feeling of being deceived. At least, her heart was comforted. His feelings for her were not exchanged for kindness, but from the heart.

"They are all the same, why? Ling Xiao, why on earth is this? Feng Yuqi muttered, showed a sarcastic smile, and continued, "Ling Yuechan lied to me. In fact, it doesn't matter at all. Since she doesn't care, how can she be sad for her? However, for the sake of that back position and for the sake of power, they are all equally crazy and harming people's lives is only a common thing. I still pity that she is a concubine. In the past, she must have lived a miserable life. I didn't think about it. The truth was not what I thought at all.

Ling Xiao is also full of acid. Over the years, some things have become thorns in the palm of the hand, and it will be painful when touched. But she still grabbed the two words in Feng Yuqi's words, "They?" She repeated doubtfully.

"In those years, I was also a concubine." Feng Yuqi looked up at Ling Xiao and said quietly, "Ling Xiao, do you know how difficult it is to be a prince? If you are looked down upon and bullied, no one will even cast a more sympathetic look at you.

Ling Xiao was silent. She was not a concubine, but no one would believe her. However, hasn't Feng Yuqi been a prince since he was a child? How could he be a concubine?

"So, when the mother fought back, I didn't stop it at all, or even felt anything wrong at all. But what I didn't expect was that when the mother concubine became the queen, she would treat other concubine princes and emperors more ruthlessly. Feng Yuqi closed his eyes, but held Ling Xiao tighter. "I didn't know until a long time later that the first queen was also killed by her mother. Although the first queen was not good to me, she didn't do anything harmful to me."

"The Queen Mother taught me that the harem and the court are the same. Either you die or I die. No one can really do 'point to stop', but I still can't accept it. So I don't want to have many women like my father, but none of them are sincere. Some are just calculating and persecuting each other. However, in the emperor's house, I have no choice..." That day, Feng Yuqi said a lot.

So, you are soft-hearted because you think of the Empress Dowager, right? No matter what, she is her own mother. Ling Xiao couldn't help feeling pity and gently stroked Feng Yuqi's back.

It's okay. For Ling Yuechan, I'm afraid it's worse to end up like this than letting you die, right? Thinking of this, I went to the front of the cold palace, from which Ling Yuechan's shrill shouts faintly: "I want to see the emperor!" Ling Xiao, you bitch, you don't want to die!"
