Ning Chen Ling Xiao

Ling Xiao went back to Shoukanghou's mansion for one night, and Chu Yifeng himself couldn't do anything in Chengqian Palace, and he didn't sleep indiscriminately until the third watch.

The next day Ling Xiao went to the morning court on time, and the two of them returned to Chengqian Palace when they dispersed. Ling Xiao sent everyone out, rubbed Chu Yifeng's head with a smile: "Just let you sleep this night by yourself, see... Promising."

Chu Yifeng smiled a little embarrassedly, and wanted to speak hard: "No, I slept pretty well last night."

"Who are you lying to?" Ling Xiao smiled, "Did your eyes leave me in the early morning? You can watch as much as you want, and you can see enough now."

Chu Yifeng blushed when Ling Xiao teased him, and said, "Is everyone well at home? Mrs. Shi is happy to hear that you have been granted a first-rank imperial order?"

"Happy, everyone in the family is fine." Ling Xiao smiled after thinking for a while, "Your poor little man is now living in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard in the mansion. According to my nephew's example, and my sister-in-law will take care of it, it's very appropriate, I will send him to the private school in the clan after two years when he is six years old."

Chu Yifeng smiled: "I know you have a good heart, I don't worry, by the way, why didn't you mention the reform of taxation in the early court?"

"No rush." ​​Prince Dun probably hasn't seen the sent letter yet, so he has to wait for Prince Dun's reply. Ling Xiao didn't want to tell Chu Yifeng about this, so he didn't have to worry about it, and said, " There was a frost last night, how cold is it to sleep at night?"

Chu Yifeng hadn't seen Ling Xiao for a day, and now he felt warm when he heard this, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "It's frost? Why is it so cold? It's quite cold in the bed at night..."

"Is this acting like a baby?" Ling Xiao smiled and hugged Chu Yifeng from behind, "Sleep together tonight, I'll keep you warm..."

Unknowingly it was Mrs. Shi's birthday, and the three-day birthday banquet was held in Shoukanghou's mansion. It was very lively. Jing Yu couldn't take care of it by herself, and Ling Zhi also moved back to the mansion to help Zhang Luo. The two children were too young. Shi Mingcheng simply asked someone to bring them over to Haosheng. Mrs. Shi is an elderly person, and she is naturally at ease after seeing so many children. Master Ling is also in a good mood recently. He hugged Brother Yun to recognize a few children every day. In a word, Ling Yun is very clever and clever, and he is quite familiar with the way of entertaining relatives in colorful clothes, which improved Linghou Lord's happiness by a layer.

"This is the child that my brother brought back?" Ling Zhi smiled, "Just call me aunt, come closer and let me have a look..."

Ling Zhi heard about the origin of this child from Mrs. Shi. She has always been soft-hearted, and now she is a mother. How can she bear this? She coaxed Ling Shixian for a while, and said with a smile: "It's a good one. Son, it’s just a little thinner, I don’t think Brother Yun is as strong as I thought, this won’t work, I need to improve more in the future, listen?”

Ling Shixian agreed with a smile: "My aunt cares."

"That's it, it's polite." Jing Yu smiled, "It will be a long time in the future, it can't be like this anymore, your aunt is not an outsider, she often sees her."

Ling Zhi smiled, and ordered someone to bring the gift to Ling Shixian. Ling Shixian thanked him, and took a small gold lock from the case that the girl was carrying to play with. Ling Zhi smiled and put it on for him himself, and asked Jing Yu said: "Which yard is Brother Xian in now?"

"It's in Lixiangyuan." Jing Yu smiled, "It was originally my aunt's yard, and it was a little more elegant for my brother to live in, but it was just to be closer to me. I told my aunt, now brother Xian You are still young, so it doesn’t matter if you live first.”

"Pear Fragrant Garden..." Ling Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Pear Fragrant Garden, that's all, let's move when Brother Xian is older."

Jing Yu knew what Ling Zhi was thinking, and saw that there was no one else in the room, only Ling Shixian leaned on Ling Zhi and fiddled with the little golden lock, so she didn't care, and said bluntly: "It's nothing, you don't know, Brother Xian is doing his best. I never run around, I can't go there..."

He lowered his voice and sighed: "Nowadays, there are more rules for girls. Every morning and evening, let the girl go to the aunt's house to say hello. She only comes out when the aunt wants to see her, and she doesn't come out on weekdays. She learned the rules of needlework from the nuns, and she is very peaceful. Last time, my grandfather said that if she is still so peaceful in a year or so, I will find someone to hire her. After all, at such a young age, It's not good to keep it empty."

Ling Zhi was noncommittal, and said: "Then listen to grandpa, let's talk about it in a year and a half, what the big sister did that day was nothing else, it was human life..." Ling Zhi's voice slowed down: "Every time I think of it It’s timid, so you’d better be careful. Now that you’re getting heavier, take care of yourself.”

Jing Yu is also a mother, so she naturally knew, she nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Ling Zhi lowered his head and saw Ling Shixian blinking his eyes and looking at him steadily, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, let's go and play with Brother Yun, how can you understand our adults?"

Ling Shixian smiled and left, Ling Zhi turned his head and said a few words to Jing Yu, telling her to pay attention to her body and so on.

On the right day, Ling Xiao personally came from the palace to deliver the imperial edict, with a coiled dragon and jade scroll, densely woven with golden silk brocade, very dignified.

Mrs. Shi's [-]th birthday, and having received such a great honor, needless to say, I am happy. After the incense case was withdrawn, Ling Xiao respectfully paid Mrs. Shi's birthday. Now that Ling Xiao is Zi Junhou, in front of so many people Mrs. Shi feels even more honored to be so humble to herself. Look, this is not a child raised by me.

All the wives were ordered to compliment Mrs. Shi without mentioning it. Mrs. Shi smiled: "Okay, we are all familiar ladies and ladies, there is no need to be formal, let's sit down affectionately." They are all female relatives, Ling Xiao is inconvenient to sit for a long time , and went to the front after being with him for a while, where Ling Zhi and Jing Yu were still talking about it.

Ling Xiao went to the front to toast a round of wine, thinking about going back to the courtyard to change clothes, just walked to the corridor, Bi He hurried up, hurriedly pulled Ling Xiao to whisper a few words, Ling Xiao's face changed slightly, and he sneered Said: "I knew she was not so peaceful, nothing happened, find someone to watch her, don't startle her, I will be there in a while, today is a good day for my aunt, don't make a big fuss."

Bi He nodded: "Young master, don't worry, someone is watching, and I'm afraid that people will know..."

Ling Xiao gently stroked the jade pendant around his waist, and then got angry again when he thought of something, called Bi He and said a few more words, Bi He's face changed slightly, and he nodded: "Yes, I will go by myself, it must be Don't let anyone see it."

Ling Xiao nodded: "Be careful."

Luomei Juli Lingyi looked at the shocked Xia Lan and smiled lightly: "What's wrong with Auntie? You're so scared."

"My aunt!" Xia Lan was so frightened that she was about to cry, "What do you want to do? How many times have I begged, and I finally got a word from my grandfather, thinking that I will hire you next year. Now you Isn't the trouble over?"

Ling Yi sneered: "My aunt is too easy to deceive, she wants to hire me? Maybe she is as good as Ling Zhi?"

Xia Lan had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. Naturally, she couldn't compare. Ling Yi was married before, and later made troubles in Yu's house. Everyone in the imperial city knew that any prominent family would want to marry again. It's just relying on the current prosperity of the Ling family, and finding another ordinary family. "

Seeing that Xia Lan didn't speak, Ling Yi smiled and said: "You also know that I can't get married anymore, now it's better to let me take care of my aunt and Ling Zhi without anyone noticing, otherwise, with them standing in the way In front of you and me, we can no longer please, if we can get rid of them now, we can also disgust them at this point, and you and I can also get some benefits."

Xia Lan was so frightened by Ling Yi that she couldn't calm down, and said anxiously: "What's the benefit? You used poison just now, wouldn't others find out?"

"I've already made up my mind." Ling Yi smiled sternly. Recently, she restrained her edge and worked hard to win Mrs. Shi's favor. Hand in, the chopping boards have been brought outside in the big kitchen, the hands are messy, I brought the medicine just now, and the medicine has already been taken."

Xia Lan shook her head and sighed: "It's not appropriate, you shouldn't go by yourself, what if someone sees you? How did you take the medicine? What if the medicine kills someone else? You are really crazy today!"

Ling Yi sneered: "Of course I will go by myself. I can see that this mansion is full of Ling Xiao's eyes and ears. You see those people selling well in front of you on weekdays. Who knows if they belong to him, so this The main thing is that I want to succeed, so I have to do it myself. Besides, if you see me dressed like this, who can tell?"

Xia Lan looked at Ling Yi's ordinary clothes today, went to the hairpin and pearls, loosened her hair and combed her double mane, she really looked like a maid from a distance.It's just not at ease: "There are people coming and going in the kitchen, how did you put that medicine in?"

Ling Yi laughed mockingly, and said softly: "I took advantage of their rush and smeared the medicine in the bowl, and I couldn't find it if I didn't look closely. Besides, the soup cups for these famous people in the cook all have their own brands on the bottom. Yes, how could people be killed by mixing medicine? I just want to turn this happy event into a funeral... I originally only wanted to harm my aunt and Ling Zhi, but just now... I also saw Ling Xiao's, so I wanted to All the rest of the medicine went to him, take good care of it..."

"Why did you play for him too?!" Xia Lan was scared out of his wits by Ling Yi at this moment, and said anxiously, "Now that he is the Marquis, it's okay to say that something happened to Mrs. Shi and Ling Zhi. If Ling Xiao happened Why didn't the imperial court not investigate? When the time comes, do you think you can hide?"

"So what if I can't hide?" Ling Yi scolded sharply, "If I can poison him to death, what if it costs me my life?! Besides... Besides, they can only suspect me. Without evidence, no one can Frame me..."

Xia Lan wanted to exchange those drugged cups and cups, but she was afraid that she would be exposed by going there, and she also wanted the three of them to die. After hesitating for a while, Ling Yi was already in the mansion I have already used this method to harm two people, and I am not afraid in my heart. Looking at Xia Lan like that, he sneered and said: "If you are really courageous, go ahead and stop me now, and report me by the way. If you don't have the courage, you will be old Sit down honestly, help me unload these things and burn them in one go."

Xia Lan couldn't help it, so she came forward to help Ling Yi loosen her hair, wrapped it together with the clothes, prepared to burn it for a while, and then stepped forward to comb Ling Yi's hair, thinking about the big thing in her heart, but couldn't help but mutter : "Do you know? I heard people say...Ling Xiao followed the emperor last year, when the emperor was still the prince of England... when they went to the north together, they lived in the palace of the prince of England? It is said that Ling Xiao had already served the emperor at that time I'm on the couch, and now I helped the emperor ascend the throne, if Ling Xiao died, how could the emperor in the palace be kind?"

"What's the matter if you don't know how to be kind?" Ling Yi took an enamel rouge box, dipped a little bit of rouge on her slender fingers, and sneered, "Speaking of this, don't laugh to death. My own face climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed, and the whole family was so happy to hold it after winning some glory, so I don't have to be ashamed... If you want me to say that the emperor is also a stupid king, the three thousand in the harem don't like it, but they just like such a man ...Hmph, that's right, when he was still the Prince of England, didn't everyone say he was an idiot? Only when he was blinded by dung did he fall in love with a man..."

Ling Yi was afraid that people would hear the secret, so she sent them away early. Only she and Xia Lan were still cursing Chu Yifeng in a low voice, and Ling Shixian slowly clenched his little hands outside the screen...

The meeting was still going on ahead, and Ling Xiao accompanied Master Ling to watch, Bi He approached from behind and whispered in Ling Xiao's ear: "Master... the soup cup has been prepared for a while in the small kitchen alright."

"Hmm..." Ling Xiao listened to the little Dan Yiyi's rhythm with a smile, and said with a smile, "Then send it to the ladies on the second floor."

Bi He nodded, seeing that no one was paying attention, she said in a low voice: "Over there at Luomeiju..."

"Send it over as well." Ling Xiao sat inside and said in a low voice, "It's a good day for my aunt, be quick with your hands and feet, don't be discouraged." Bi He nodded and retreated.

Ling Xiao sneered in his heart, thinking this was Yu Fu?Poisoning, thanks to her thinking of it.Well, whoever digs the pit will bury it. If you like poison, you can eat as much as you want.

The soup bowl in the big kitchen has already been made, so it must be unusable. Bi He followed Ling Xiao's instructions and asked the small kitchen inside to rush to make soup, but there was no suitable case for the soup bowl here. Bihe hurriedly brought a few maids to the big kitchen to collect the case.

"Be careful," Bihe pretended to say about the little girls, and at the same time sent the remaining two people out of the kitchen. Taking advantage of this gap, she hurried to the food box and found Ling Yi and Ling Zhi's food box. Open it and change the soup bowl inside.

After finishing all these, Bi He put the food box in order, feeling relieved, after a while, Ling Zhi's soup will be delivered from the small kitchen, no matter what happens, no matter what Ling Yi cooks in Ling Zhi's bowl What kind of manipulation, only she can enjoy it.

Just as Bi He breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and was about to go out when she saw Ling Shixian running in from the door panting.

Bi He was taken aback, forced herself to calm down, and said with a smile, "Why did Brother Xian come here? Where is your nanny?"

Ling Shixian ran over as if he didn't hear it, and hurriedly said, "Bowl...the soup bowl..."

Bihe's heart skipped a beat, she quickly covered Ling Shixian's mouth, and said in a low voice, "You...you know?" It's just a five-year-old child, what does he know?

Ling Shixian was anxious to take out the bowl, but was stopped by Bihe, who was so small that he couldn't explain clearly, but kept shouting to take out the bowl, Bihe knew where he must have heard it, and was afraid that he would yell out , hurriedly took a plate of fruit and went out, and pretended to smile: "Brother Xian is lost, right? This is not where you came, I will take you to eat something, you can't eat fruit on an empty stomach , it will hurt the stomach."

Ling Shixian's anxious face turned pale, beads of sweat dripped down, and he kept yelling, the women outside only thought he wanted to eat fruit, and didn't care.

Bi He hugged Ling Shixian, turned her head and said to the women in the cook: "Ladies, let's have some snacks. Since the meals in front have been served, hurry up and send the meals for the young master and lady inside. We will start at Yinshi Start serving, Mi Weishen's teeth, we can bear it, the young masters and ladies can't bear it."

The woman in the kitchen hurriedly wiped her hands and greeted her with a smile: "It's just that I just got free, and the meals at Luomeiju and Lixiangyuan haven't been delivered yet, and the girls' meals will be delivered soon, so that's all." In a while."

Bi He nodded: "The masters of these two places didn't go forward, it's normal for you to delay for a while, hurry up."

The mothers-in-law quickly agreed, and then Bihe carried Ling Shixian out.It's just that Ling Shixian kept turning his head to look at the food box, kicking in Bihe's arms, yelling loudly...

Seeing that the two of them had left, the women hurriedly asked people to pack up the meals from Lixiangyuan and Luomeiju, put them in big food boxes, and hurriedly sent them over.

Here at Luomeiju, Ling Yi changed her clothes and combed her hair. When the food arrived, she said to Xia Lan, "Auntie will accompany me to eat here. I'm not interested in being alone." Naturally, Xia Lan also wanted to talk to Ling Yi. We waited for the news together, and quickly responded after hearing the words...

The people in front had been busy, many of them were elderly people who couldn't stand the whole day's tossing, so they left. Ling Xiao and Ling Xuan were sending them off in front, and they were busy rushing a housekeeper inside. Came to the front, didn't dare to approach and was only anxious behind, just dodged to let Ling Xiao see, Ling Xiao knew in his heart that something must have happened inside, let Ling Xuan socialize first, turned around the lobby and walked inside, Said: "What's the matter? Why don't you go to grandma if you have something to do?"

The daughter-in-law's face turned pale, her tone changed, and she said with a trembling voice: "Just now... just now, the woman from Luomeiju ran out in fright and said... Miss, and Aunt Xia, died in the house ..."

"Dead..." Ling Xiao pondered, closed his eyes, and lowered his voice, "Slow down! I know, it's a good day for my aunt, don't make it known to everyone, who are you looking for now?" A woman will go in and... clean up the two of them, and no one from Luomeiju is allowed to be released, and you look at the yard yourself, and don't let anyone know about it."

The daughter-in-law forced herself to be steady, and tremblingly said: "No...won't you tell the master?"

"I'll talk about it myself." Ling Xiao sent the daughter-in-law to go first, "You must not be blamed, so go!" The daughter-in-law hurried away.

Dead... Ling Xiao sneered in his heart, thinking about keeping them for a few more days, and had to hit the knife's edge, who was to blame?

Xia Lan, Ling Yi, don't feel wronged on the way to the Yellow Springs, you are eating your own poison, I can't blame you for crying blood three feet in the Temple of Yama, there are innocent souls demanding your life, the debt you owe in this life, Pay it back a little bit...

Ling Xiao ordered someone to call Bihe, walked to a secluded place on the corridor and whispered: "What did you do just now?"

Bihe couldn't help it, so she bowed and told all about the big kitchen just now, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian... must not understand, how could he understand this when he is so young? It's just... I can't help it. Take it to your yard and close it first."

"Brother Xian..." Ling Xiao nodded, "It's okay, someone called me outside and said that I drank too much today and wanted to rest for a while, so I'll go and see him first."

Bi He nodded: "Yes."
