Sleeve the world, mourning melody

"I dare not!" Li An kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Yu frowned, didn't want to say any more, and rushed away, "You go."

Li An retreated to the door in response, and saw Ling Chu walking quickly with a plate of food.

The genius Li An hurried forward to take it, "Hey, little master, please pay attention!" He smiled and said with Ling Chu: "The servant will follow you in."

Ling Chu nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"You're such a shameful slave!" Li An and the master smiled, lowering their eyes and following carefully holding the food plate.

"Mother, please have a taste." Ling Chu greeted, and brought the jade bowl to the bed, and Li Yu immediately took it, leaving the small case on hold.

Ling Chu pursed his lips to hide his disappointment.

"Master." Li An unconsciously blurted out the nickname, and when Ling Chu looked back in surprise, Li Yu glared at him fiercely.Li An stopped in panic, and changed his words with a smile: "Master Queen Mother, this medicinal porridge is made by Your Highness the Princess herself."

Li Yu looked back in surprise, clinging to his beloved daughter's hand, and asked with a smile, "Is it true?"

Ling Chu nodded and responded lightly, "The queen mother works all night, and the sons and officials are stupid, so they can't share the mother's worries. I can only pray that everything goes well for the mother, and she is happy and healthy."

From last night to noon, Empress Dowager Li only had a few sips of tea and a few spoonfuls of ginseng soup for three meals. Ling Chu was so distressed that she cooked herbal porridge herself.

Li Yu brought the youngest daughter to sit beside her, stroked her cheek, and said softly: "The greatest joy of the Ai family is the constant company of their children."

Empress Dowager Li suddenly paused at the end of her speech, and then picked up the porridge bowl, unintentionally asking: "Where did Chu Er learn the art of huangqi?"

Ling Chu pursed his lips, and said softly after a long silence: "It's Sister Ajiu."

Stir the porridge for a while, and the jade stones collide with a "dangcang" sound.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li looked dull, Ling Chu boldly took the porridge wrist, poured the warmed porridge and served it to his mother, and said timidly, "Mother..."

Ling Chu's easy-going respect brought back the empty mind, and Li Yu sipped her hands, full of praise.

Li An, on the other hand, withdrew quietly.

……

"Mother's queen." Ling Chu persisted in guessing while fighting with heaven and man in his heart, "Li An, is it yours?"

Li Yu glanced at her and smiled lightly, "The Li family treated him well in the past."

Li Yu's indifferent expression seemed to be talking about people and things that had nothing to do with each other. Ling Chu was heartbroken when she heard it, and she then asked something deep in her heart: "Is it because of the fact that the emperor's brother is in charge, or is it because of the rift between the mother and the uncle?" Another reason?"

Empress Dowager Li looked at her with a smile, and just sighed: "Mother's Chu'er has grown up."

Ling Chu was dissatisfied with this answer. After biting his lip, he carefully glanced at Empress Dowager Li, "Is it because of the concubine mother?"

Li Yu stared intently at her little daughter and remained silent.Ling Chu felt that the empress dowager's eyes were getting lighter.

She was afraid she guessed right.

The court was shocked in the early morning, and Ling Chu pestered Ajiu to ask about the internal cause. Naturally, he heard the secrets of the court in the early years that neither she nor the emperor's brother knew.

Lingchu heard the shocking news of the maze that was hidden in the invisible in the early years, and listed the past fragments of her mother and concubine that she accidentally learned from Queen Mother Li or Ajiu Taoyao, and she was even more concerned about the woman in front of her Live respect and love.

As a daughter, she decided to stand on the opposite side of her brother or husband, and tried her best to protect the one she loves. How courageous should she be?And what kind of affection should it be?

For some reason, Lingchu thought of himself. She and Shi Yan couldn't give up, give in and make each other perfect. , still without hesitation, she begged Empress Dowager Li at will. She was about to get up and kneel down, but Li Yu stopped her first.

"Mother, my daughter has something important to ask."

Ling Chu was still holding the bowl in both hands, Li Yu carefully helped her up and sat back, stared at her, shook her head and said, "The empress mother knows your heart. You are doing your best for King Xiang, I'm afraid he won't appreciate it."

It sounded like Empress Dowager Li knew a lot about her affairs outside the palace, Ling Chu didn't make any excuses, and lowered his eyes sadly, "Whether he knows it or not, I just want his life to be safe."

After a long sigh, Li Yu shook her head, "I've done it myself..."

……

Ling Chu was lost and went out, and ran into Ajiu who was anxiously waiting outside.Without waiting for anyone to ask, Lingchu wiped away his tears and said softly to her, "The queen mother is waiting for you."

Ajiu nodded, and without moving at first, pulled out the plain white scarf handkerchief and Ling Chu from the skirt.

Compared with the enthusiasm of Qinzheng Hall, the atmosphere of Qingning Hall is really sluggish.

Since dismissing the courtiers, the emperor has not had time to leave the Palace of Qinzheng. Right now, he is planning arrangements with his right and left hands.

Among them, it is indispensable to be flattered by those two people, "Your Majesty is holy" and "this plan is wonderful".

Ling Cheng smiled shallowly, "I was just trying to scare the snake out of its hole. Now that I know he is a power-hungry person, why don't you make good use of it?" When the point was over, he changed his mind again, with a cold expression on his face, and sternly ordered: "The historian has already taken action, and we must wait in full force. Ah San, you take your subordinates to monitor the palace. If there is any change in the Qingning Palace or the surrounding area, you can cut it first and then play it." Ling Sheng brought Shang Fang's sword to Ling San. , being cautious, "My safety and the safety of the Queen Mother are all in your hands."

"I'll wait until you die." Ling San knelt down, holding the sword with both hands.

Ling Cheng nodded in relief, Ling San lived up to his trust.

A month ago, when Ling San brought people down to Jiangzhou, he used the secret of Sima Zi's identity to lure him to send a letter to his master.

Ling San also brought back a piece of good news for the emperor—the Jiangzhou case had been found out, and Ling San reported to Ming Sheng personally to bring witnesses back.

Ling Cheng pondered for a moment, then said "No hurry", then turned his eyes to tell others: "He Yun."

"The minister is here."

Ling Cheng narrowed his eyes, and ordered with his hands behind his back, "You lead the rest of the hidden guards to monitor the Shijia. If Shi Yan makes any changes, arrest Shi Hong."

"Yes."

"And your subordinates, those who are restless, don't hesitate to shoot them!" Ling Cheng can't tolerate low-level people who betray the lord the most. The hidden guards are all capable people carefully selected by him after he ascended the throne. Ling San took care of his subordinates, congratulations Yun's people just took this opportunity to clean up.

The two took the order to leave, Ling Sheng's chest was agitated, and it was difficult to calm down, so he simply raised his sword and danced in the hall.

Xiao Jingyi changed into men's clothes, stepped out of her Feather Palace dignifiedly, flew away from the palace, and went straight to Xiao Yage.

Xiao Jing followed Xiao Ruoshuang's whispers for a while, pulled her white robe to stick her beard, pretended to be a wandering Taoist, and went out grandly.

Xiao Jingyi learned from Xiao Ruoshuang that it was suspected that Xiao Ruoshui's whereabouts, "he" set up a stall on the street, decently started to make a living by discussing the five elements and talking about Fengshui.

Together, he watched coldly the greasy man in Jing Zhaoyin's official robe striding past his eyes.Xiao Jingyi turned her head and watched the group of people walk away coldly.

The people on the street have speculated about the reason for the strict investigation by the officers and soldiers in Beijing.Daoist Xiao had no intention of inquiring, closed the stall and walked away.

She walked through the civilian area of ​​Nancheng and stopped in front of an unremarkable old abandoned house.

Sure enough, there was a wooden sign on the stone steps in front of the door.

Daoist Yunyou looked curious, Nianxu muttered for a while, pulled the Taoist talisman hanging from the door, and finally entered carefully with the wooden sword.

The others looked on, feeling suspicious, muttering "there is a ghost in this old house" and scattered in a hurry.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, obviously abandoned for a long time, one side room was empty, and the other wooden door was collapsed by a broken beam, making it difficult to move, Xiao Jingyi walked quickly to the main room.

The exterior and interior were dilapidated, pushing the door open, Xiao Jingyi flicked his sleeves to disperse the annoying dust, almost instantly, he sniffed the bloody smell that was faintly present.

"Ruoshui?" Xiao Jingyi scanned the room intently, closed the door, and moved towards the haystack.

There was a rustling sound at the haystack, Xiao Jingyi clenched the wooden sword and stood a few steps away, condescending. Not long after, she saw a hand pushing away the cover and appeared in front of her eyes.

"Palace Master..."

The light in the room was dim, but the pale face was clearly visible.

"Ruoshui!" Xiao Jingyi rushed over and hugged the unstable person.

"This subordinate is entrusted by the Palace Master..." Xiao Ruoshui leaned weakly in Xiao Jingyi's arms, his voice almost inaudible.

"Stop talking." Xiao Jingyi twitched her hand to feel her pulse, frowning, and said bitterly, "Who hurt you!"

"The son-in-law has three masters under his command..."

It's no secret that Shi Yan raised dead men. Earlier, the burly man who made a fuss in the Chun Yi Building and assassinated Yi Mo was later investigated by Xiao Guan.

The man's veins were severed by Yi Mo, and he looked like a useless person, and was ruthlessly abandoned by his master.That person was then secretly captured by Pavilion Xiao, and his life was handled by Palace Master Xiao himself.

Originally thought that Shi Yan would restrain himself after losing his left and right arm, but he didn't expect him to intensify, and now he dared to directly provoke Xiao Guan!

"People who hurt me, one is the other, I will never let it go!" Xiao Jingyi gritted her teeth, her gaze was like a sword.

"Palace Master." Xiao Ruoshui tried her best to pinch Xiao Jingyi's long robe and sleeves, and told her briefly, "I was conceited and hurt Shi Yan before leaving Beijing... Yueling and I were killed by someone before we left. Keep an eye on..."
