King Lingyu

Even though it was night, Sima Lingyu didn't dare to stay in the secret passage for long, she took the box and went back to the room.

Sima Lingyu was very puzzled. Wasn't this Prince Rong sent to the frontier because of his discord with the late emperor? How could he communicate so many letters with the empress dowager?

Sima Lingyu sat at the table in the inner room and lit a small candle, which only had a faint light. She was afraid that the room would be too bright and attract attention.

Sima Lingyu carefully observed the thick stack of letters in her hand, the paper was yellowed, and she looked at the date on each page, and it turned out that it was more than 20 years ago.This aroused Sima Lingyu's great curiosity.Amayuan has been crowned king for more than [-] years.

Sima Lingyu read one by one carefully, and discovered an astonishing truth.It turned out that the person who framed Ama was actually Prince Rong!Ama once said that Prince Rong was his own younger brother. After he was deposed, he pleaded for him. Therefore, he was hated by the late emperor and empress dowager.But from the letter, it can be clearly seen that Prince Rong and the Empress Dowager are of the same breed.Ama still thought that Prince Rong's crime was for her own sake, and she had secretly sent people to take care of Prince Rong's family in the frontier for so many years. From this point of view, she might have used the wrong intentions.However, how did Prince Rong, who had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager in private, end up in the miserable situation where the whole family was assigned?The more Sima Lingyu thought about it, the more puzzled she became. She really wanted to ask Ama herself what happened back then, but she was afraid that she might not be able to explain clearly when she exchanged letters, and secondly, if someone intercepted her, she would lose the big deal.Or send someone to check it yourself.

Early the next morning, Sima Lingyu called Ayue, "You find someone to go to Yidong in the Northwest, and find out if the family members of Prince Yuan Rong who were assigned there are still there, and what are they doing?"

Ah Yue nodded, "This subordinate will do it now! By the way, young master, recently Ah Yue found that people often followed his subordinates, but they were all thrown away by his subordinates."

When Sima Lingyu heard the words, he knew that maybe it wasn't him, but Ayue who had become the target of surveillance by these covetous people.Only A Yue is always by his side as his dead soldier, and he is the only one who shows up, so he will naturally become the target.

"It's okay, just be careful. Pay special attention to the eyes in these dark places in the mansion. Pay attention to who they are, and it's time to clean up. In addition, there are some things you don't need to do yourself. People work hard to run errands for you, and they don't talk too much when they get money to do things, they know the rules better."

"This subordinate understands!" Ah Yue nodded, "Then this subordinate will resign first."

Sima Lingyu suddenly remembered, "Is there any news about Junli?"

"Not yet." Ah Yue knew that Junli and the others were looking for Fifth Miss, "Master, do you want to send more people?"

"I don't need it at the moment. I believe they are far away from them. If they can't find them, no matter how many people there are, it's useless, and it's easy to leak their whereabouts."

After Ah Yue left, Sima Lingyu frowned and thought hard in the room, if Sister Yun hadn't been brought back to Dunwang Mansion, where would Ama hide Sister Yun?It has been two or three days!Could it be that someone else robbed Sister Yun?No, no, that note must have been copied by Ama. There is no outsider in this world who understands her own handwriting.

Sima Lingyu stayed in the room until Steward Qi came to ask for breakfast.

The eldest princess and Wanqing are already waiting in the dining hall.Seeing Sima Lingyu approaching, the Eldest Princess came up to meet her, "I came back from the palace very late last night, did your son-in-law rest well?"

"It's okay!" Sima Lingyu didn't sleep at all last night.

"My lord," Wan Qing also came up to him, "Why don't you go to the 'Nuanqing Pavilion' to sleep after dinner, it's very warm there, and you can sleep very well."

Sima Lingyu smiled and said, "Ah, that's fine, let's all sit down and eat quickly."

Upon hearing this, Wanqing glanced at the eldest princess proudly, pulled Sima Lingyu to the chair next to her, and graciously picked up food for Sima Lingyu.

The eldest princess couldn't bear to watch it, she said she had no appetite after two mouthfuls, and went back to her room.

Sima Lingyu knew that the Eldest Princess was jealous, but she held back and didn't have an attack. It seemed that the fire was still not ready.

Seeing that the eldest princess was gone, Wanqing yelled even more brazenly, "My lord, you haven't come to Wanqing's place for several days, I miss you very much." For Wanqing who was in the palace since she was a child, she was actually a little glad that she was sent to the palace. She thinks it's better than being in the palace, even better than letting the emperor look at it.In the past, she heard from the old maids in the palace that some court ladies were favored by the emperor because of their beauty, and they were favored once or twice, and they were made an official woman, but they never saw the emperor again. , and cannot go out of the palace when they reach the age, they can only die in the palace all their lives in loneliness.Now that I have arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion, although there is an eldest princess on it, the prince doesn't seem to like the eldest princess very much, because the prince and the eldest princess are not compatible.If it weren't for the red lanterns hanging outside the eldest princess' room every day, maybe the prince would not go to her room.It's also strange, this month, the red lantern has never been taken down, could it be that the eldest princess refused to let herself take advantage of those special days of the month?It was said that the eldest princess was insane, and thought that she would not compete with her for favor, but she never expected that not only the bridegroom could not be bribed, but she would even occupy the prince for a few days during menstruation, which was really unpleasant.

Now Wanqing seems to be suffering from lovesickness every day, thinking of Sima Lingyu. That day the empress dowager sent someone to ask, but Wanqing didn't know how to answer.She didn't intentionally monitor Sima Lingyu's activities, she only knew that he would sometimes lock himself in the room and not come out for several hours, and sometimes his followers were also inside, so it was unknown what he said.But Wanqing instinctively felt that if she replied like this, the empress dowager would definitely feel that Sima Lingyu was plotting something, maybe the prince likes to be alone sometimes.So she didn't say anything special, she just repaid the harmony between the forehead and the eldest princess, and everything was normal.

After breakfast, Sima Lingyu and Wanqing went to the "Nuanqing Pavilion". As soon as they entered the room, they saw the thick rice paper on the table, all of which were Wanqing's practiced characters.Sima Lingyu casually walked to the desk, picked up one and was about to take a closer look, but Wanqing snatched it away, "My lord, don't look at it!"

Sima Lingyu was really interested in being robbed by Wanqing, and insisted on reading, "What did Wanqing write, let me see it!"

"Then prince, don't laugh at Wanqing!" Wanqing hid the piece of paper behind her back, a little shy.

"Why would this king laugh at you? This king is here to check on your handwriting practice these days."

Wanqing slowly took out the paper from behind her and handed it to Sima Lingyu.

There are only four sentences on the paper - flowers bloom differently, and flowers fall differently.If you want to ask about lovesickness, when the flowers bloom and fall.

Sima Lingyu raised his eyebrows, "Do you know who wrote this poem?"

"Xue Tao." Wan Qing nodded and replied, wondering if the prince didn't see the lovesickness in this poem?

"This woman is a very strong and talented woman. I am very happy that you can practice her poems."

Sima Lingyu looked carefully at Wanqing's handwriting, she had indeed made great progress, and then looked at the volume next to it, it seemed that Wanqing had put in a lot of effort, if she really wanted to, she wouldn't need to read more than ten volumes, Even if you don't know how to write poetry, you can sing.

"Wanqing, you are an intelligent woman. Look at how fast your handwriting has improved." Sima Lingyu said to Wanqing with a smile, thinking that this woman hadn't read too many books, otherwise with her intelligence, it would be hard to say that she would be so smart. It can't compare to those ladies from the official family.

When Wanqing heard Sima Lingyu boasting about herself, she blushed happily, "Really, my lord?"

"Of course, when did this king lie to you?" Sima Lingyu suddenly wanted to tease her, "Wanqing, would you like this king to marry another Fujin?"
