Chapter 165 Conspiracy
After Zhou Yan left, Shaohua asked Ling some questions. Her face changed and she was a little impatient to let her take care of herself first. Don't care about anything else. Li Xunzhuo was worried because Jinhua's whereabouts were unknown so far, and Shaohua did not dare to ask him about the matter.
For Jinhua, it is a lie to say that there is no resentment in his heart. If it hadn't been for the appearance of Yan Kaizhi, I'm afraid that she would have reported to the Yanluo Hall long ago, but as the saying goes, it's not a blessing. Although he took a little risk, Shaohua had a different feeling when he could get Yan Kaizhi's personal promise, so when Li Xunzhuo asked about Jinhua, Shaohua chose to keep his mouth shut.
Since Jinhua was cruel enough to push her into the water and fled regardless of her safety, she did not have to worry about her whereabouts. If she can come back alive, let's call it a big life, and the accounts between them will be well calculated at that time. If he can't come back, Shaohua sneered from the bottom of his heart. If there is really anything, it depends on who has accumulated more virtue in his last life.
Despite the arrival of the Li family, the Ling family still lives in their own footsteps. Less than half a month is the Spring Festival, and there are still many things to do. In addition, there are so many guests now, and the people below are even busier.
Shaohua lay in ** and thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking Youhan to come to Bo Yan. As a result, he learned that Bo Yan was not at home.
"Then when will he come back?" This made Shaohua very curious. In her impression, Bo Yan was like a biological brother, always caring and caring for her. But she came to Ling's house for so long and lay in ** for so long that she had never seen him appear. When asked about his whereabouts, no one even knew.
"I don't know about this. It seems that since we came to Ling's house, I haven't seen Master Boyan, not even other young masters." Youhan brought a lilac cotton cloak to Shaohua and wrapped her whole body tightly before she got out of bed.
"There are no other young masters?" Shaohua was holding a bowl of chicken soup and was shocked by the young Han's words.
Youhan nodded, "Maybe the uncle won't let them disturb the fifth lady."
Shaohua held the soup bowl sullenly, squeezed it gently and said, "What have you heard about the matter in Beijing?" She can't expect anyone to give her the news now. She just hopes that the young can hear some news.
However, she was very disappointed by Young Han's answer. In order to take care of Shaohua, she didn't even have a chance to step out of the house.
Originally, as soon as he recovered from a serious illness, he should continue to lie down and recuperate, but Shaohua couldn't sit still at all. As soon as the fever subsided, his whole body became alive. She proposed to Ling to go out for a walk, but Ling refused. After Zhou Yan only came once, she never appeared again, and no one else was there. This made Shaohua feel uncomfortable, as if everyone knew about it and bored her alone in the drum.
It was not easy for her to find out Ling's whereabouts and accompanied her to find Mr. Ling.
In this family, if there is anything that even Mr. Ling doesn't know, it must be useless for others to ask. Shaohua has a different feeling for Mr. Ling, probably because he was raised by him, and he always feels more intimate than seeing others. It was not easy to go out. The sunshine after many days made her feel bright, and even the pace under her feet became light, and the young Han couldn't catch up with her.
In view of Shaohua's special status in the Ling family, he came to Mr. Ling's yard without any obstruction or effort. Shaohua selfishly wanted to surprise Mr. Ling and was ready to sneak in quietly.
Youhan attracted the attention of the gatekeeper and sneaked over the wall. As soon as he slipped to the window, he heard a familiar voice ringing in the room: "Dad, the capital is already in chaos. Is it time to act?"
The solemn tone of Uncle Ling made Shaohua couldn't help but settle down, squat down and hide under the window to listen. Uncle Ling's temper made Shaohua remember deeply. He always spoke with ridicule, and his smiling appearance formed a sharp contrast with the smiling uncle Ling. Now, his tone is serious and cautious, and he can't hear any joke. If it hadn't happened to hear the word "Jingli", Shaohua would definitely turn around and leave.
Mr. Ling was silent for a long time, and his voice was like a bell. Dantian was powerful and powerful as a rainbow. Don't worry, wait."
Shaohua was a little surprised. Mr. Ling was also born as a practitioner. This voice was more powerful than that of middle-aged men such as Li Xunzhuo.
"I'm afraid he can't hold on for a few days. If he pushes hard, I'm afraid he will lose his mind." Second uncle Ling whispered.
"Gun off and save him, the ends of the earth, and keep him comprehensive." Sixteen words, powerful and sounded on the ground, with an involuntarily contradiction. Even Shaohua, who was hiding outside, felt like a drum and nervous.
She was very curious and listened as if what happened in Beijing was related to the Ling family. But she clearly remembers that the Ling family was just a squire of Pu'an, and she had to be involved, that is, she once raised flowers, birds, fish and insects for Queen Duanming, which was a long time. However, Mr. Ling's tone sounds more like a behind-the-scenes master. Is there any secret hidden from them, even the Li family?
Maybe he was too distracted and inadvertently moved his pace and made some slight noises, but he was keenly noticed by Uncle Ling. His heart sank, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. He glanced at the window, jumped, rolled over in the air, and came out of the window. Before Shaohua could make a sound, he was shocked by the figure that suddenly flashed in front of him and was stunned.
"Little Five?" Uncle Ling obviously didn't expect that Shaohua would hide outside and frown, "Why are you hiding here?"
"I, I came to visit my grandfather." Shaohua put his hands on his fluttering chest and didn't dare to look directly at Uncle Ling's eyes. She heard from Ling that the two uncles of the Ling family had been practicing martial arts since childhood, but she never thought that Uncle Ling's skills would be so good. Not to mention flying eaves and walls, if someone tells her that they will actually fly to the sky and escape, Shaohua will definitely believe it.
"How did you get in?" Second Uncle Ling no longer showed his usual smiling expression, thinking that he didn't know how much Shaohua had eavesdropped. The gatekeeper is his confidant. Without his permission, even his wife may not be accommodated.
"I climbed over the wall and came in." Shaohua said a little guilty, but in the face of Uncle Ling's criticism, she did not dare to lie.
Uncle Ling's expression was slightly stagnant, and then Mr. Ling's voice came from the room, "Xiao Wu, come in."
Shaohua couldn't take his eyes off the expression of his second uncle. He trembled and slowly moved into the room close to the wall. Seeing Second Uncle Ling following in, she deliberately kept a distance from him, which made him feel funny and angry.
"Little Five, are you in good health? Is there anything else wrong?" Mr. Ling smiled kindly, as usual, as if nothing had just happened.
Shaohua opened his mouth, but couldn't answer. He just nodded, obviously scared.
Mr. Ling stared at his son, "Go out and let Xiao Wu accompany me." Seeing some reproach in his father's eyes, Uncle Ling looked a little innocent. He nodded and looked at Shaohua's lingering look and had to leave in frustration.
The departure of Second Uncle Ling made Shaohua breathe a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart was also half relieved. Looking back, he saw Mr. Ling's smile. He still couldn't help being curious and decided to ask clearly.
"Do you want to ask what my second uncle and I have said?" Mr. Ling broke Shaohua's doubts and nodded excitedly. Mr. Ling touched her head with a smile and asked, "Then tell your grandfather what you just heard."
"I only heard the chaos in Beijing, and my grandfather asked my second uncle to save someone." Shaohua answered truthfully and saw Mr. Ling's silence. She asked curiously, "Xiaowu knew that I shouldn't eavesdrop. I just haven't seen my grandfather for a long time. I was very worried about it, so I sneaked in and really didn't mean to eavesdrop." Listening to the corner of the wall, it is difficult to walk away from the beginning.
Seeing that Mr. Ling was not angry, Shaohua had the courage to ask again, "Can my grandfather tell me what happened in Beijing? I promise that I will never tell anyone else, even if it's my mother, I won't say it!"
Mr. Ling came back to his senses, looked at her clear and bright eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "The eldest prince intended to rebel and was besieged in the palace. Our family has received the great favor of Queen Duanming and tried our best to protect the eldest prince's life."
Shaohua opened his mouth wide and was stunned. Unexpectedly, in the end, their family was on the side of the eldest prince.
"Is that it?" Shaohua found his voice for a long time.
Mr. Ling raised his eyebrows, "What else do you think?"
Shaohua looked a little frustrated. "I heard my second uncle's mysterious tone and thought there was some big secret." Compared with that, she was more surprised by Uncle Ling's hidden skills.
Mr. Ling said with a beard and staring, "Do you think saving people is a joke?"
Shaohua smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm just thinking that since the eldest prince has been besieged and we can't get in, how can we save him out." Even if Uncle Ling has the ability to pass through the heavy encirclement and save a person out of thin air. Moreover, if this is found, it will be charged with treason.
Suddenly, Shaohua felt that her chest was tight, as if something was going to happen, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Xiaowu, you little lady don't need to know too much. In a word, since you heard it, I might as well tell you. But this matter is related to our Ling family. Remember to keep your mouth shut. Mr. Ling sighed heavily.
Shaohua suddenly felt that she forced Mr. Ling to tell such a major secret, which was obviously a little unkind, but she knew half the understanding and didn't ask clearly, and it was really uncomfortable.
Her kindness should be rewarded with a spring. She understands this sentence, but she has to risk the life of the Ling family to do it. Shaohua couldn't figure it out. In this case, why did Mr. Ling just say that he had to wait? What was he waiting for when his life was at risk. Moreover, since you want to repay your kindness, why do you have to choose to take action when the eldest prince is besieged? Obviously, you didn't know the eldest prince's intention just now. Shouldn't you advise him to let him go or directly help him take office? With the current ability of the Ling family, this is not a small force for the Hongwen Party.
