The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 102 Recognition Part [-]
Bei Chenling invited Lin Aoxue to have a drink together. She changed into plain clothes, asked the servants of the palace to set up a carriage, and led Lin Aoxue back to the general's mansion first, and changed her general's clothes. Bei Chenling was in the lobby of the general's mansion While waiting, she was still holding tea and marveling at the grandeur of this house, and she would get a set whenever she wanted.
After Lin Aoxue changed her clothes and came out, the two met again and went to the nearby Long Street. Bei Chenhe, who was in the study, heard that Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling had just rejected his proposed marriage in front of him plausibly, and then they met together Going out to play, Bei Chenhe laughed angrily at the news, he shook his head with a cold face, and hummed:
"Let them make trouble!"
Lin Aoxue is not very familiar with the capital city. When she came last year, she spent most of her time in the inn and seldom came out to wander around. Although the layout of the capital city has not changed much compared to ten years ago, the shops and other things It always changed and changed, so, where there is beautiful scenery and where there is good wine, she is not as good as Bei Chenling.
She originally thought that the restaurant Bei Chenling was going to was not far away, but to Lin Aoxue's surprise, the carriage gurgled forward, and soon a calm lake appeared in Lin Aoxue's sight. There was a thin layer of ice, and at a glance, the willow trees on the bank were also bare, looking extremely bleak.
This is not the first time Lin Aoxue has seen such a scene, she quickly reacted and said in surprise:
"Zhanyang Lake."
Bei Chenling smiled and nodded, then lightly pulled the curtain of the car window, pointed to the towering pavilion on the other side of the lake, and said:
"Let's go to the Canary Tower."
Canary Tower.
Lin Aoxue suddenly had an impression in her heart. She had heard of the Golden Bird Tower when she came to the capital last year, and this building was a bit special. She once took the golden key to the top of the Golden Bird Tower and stayed there for a while, but did not find anything unusual. It was later learned from Pei Qing that every three years, the three old ministries under her father would gather together.
Her mood became inexplicable, and she turned to look at Bei Chenling, but saw that the latter's eyes fell outside the window, with a soft expression, as if she felt Lin Aoxue's sight, Bei Chenling turned her head and glanced at her, the eyes of the two When they bumped into each other, Bei Chenling pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.
Lin Aoxue remembered that Bei Chenling told her last night that she would take her to meet someone, so it turned out that inviting her to drink with her was not out of purpose.
What a smart woman.
The two sisters are so powerful, Lin Aoxue thought to herself.
The carriage circled around Zhanyang Lake, and soon arrived at Jinquelou. It seemed that Bei Chenling was a regular customer of Jinquelou. Before she got off the carriage, the servants of Jinquelou recognized her. After getting out of her carriage, she hurriedly came up to her with a smile on her face, and called out loudly:
"Miss Ling!"
Lin Aoxue clicked tut, Bei Chenling got off the carriage and led Lin Aoxue into the Golden Sparrow Tower with ease, perhaps it was the first time someone was so close to Bei Chenling, and she didn't look like a servant. The waiter in the shop looked at Lin Aoxue a few more times, but was taken aback by the hideous scar on Lin Aoxue's face, and didn't dare to look any more.
The shop waiter led Bei Chenling and Lin Aoxue to the top floor of the pavilion. The more people went up, the fewer people were in the building. When they reached the top of the Golden Bird Tower, there were only three wine tables in the whole hall. Even so, Bei Chenling He didn't stop, but took Lin Aoxue to the only elegant room on the top floor of the Canary Tower.
Lin Aoxue looked around the environment of the elegant room, the decoration of this Canary Tower was even more exquisite than that of her general's mansion, she couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of the master behind the scenes of the Canary Tower.
Not long after the two were seated, the waiter brought up the drinks and side dishes. Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling chatted while looking out the window of the elegant room.
Lin Aoxue picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the door of the elegant room was suddenly knocked from the outside, Bei Chenling motioned for him to enter the room, Lin Aoxue turned her head to look, and saw a waiter carrying a pot of new wine followed by a maid They came in together, and when the door was closed, Bei Chenling stood up and said to Lin Aoxue:
"Change your clothes, we should go out."
Lin Aoxue realized it later, and immediately changed into Xiao Er's clothes, while Bei Chenling changed into the maid's clothes. After the golden cicada shed its shell, Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling came out of the elegant room with their heads down, and walked down the wooden ladder. Going around to the backyard of the Canary Tower, changed clothes again in the room in the backyard, went out through the side door of the backyard, and boarded a carriage again in a secluded place.
This time the carriage did not drive for a long time, but within half a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a noisy alley in the West Market. Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling, who had disguised themselves several times, got out of the carriage, got into the alley, and walked around again. Go outside a small courtyard and walk in through the hidden side door.
The yard is not big, two vegetable plots with a radius of one to two feet are surrounded by stones on the left and right sides, and some cold-resistant vegetables are planted. There are also some chickens and ducks in the yard that are chugging non-stop, walking around the small yard. go.
Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling passed through the front yard. The people in the house heard the commotion outside and opened the door to look outside. The person recognized Bei Chenling, but felt unfamiliar with Lin Aoxue and dared not give way easily. Beichenling He opened his mouth and said:
"Didn't my uncle say that he wanted to see the child of his relative's family last time, I brought him here."
The eyes of the young man guarding the door flickered slightly, so he nodded, and sideways led Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling into the room.
There was only one square table in the middle hall, and a Jade Buddha was enshrined on the opposite wall. There was no one in the room. Bei Chenling took Lin Aoxue in through the small door on the left, walked through the room where sundries were piled up, and came to the backyard.
There was a man sitting quietly under the old tree in the backyard, looking up at the sky, thinking about something, his legs were covered with a blanket, the east wind in the yard was bleak, and the man's gray hair swayed with the wind, Bei Chenling walked away In the past, he said:
"Uncle Starling."
Hearing the sound, the man turned his head, his eyes swept over Bei Chenling's face, but the next moment, he slid to Lin Aoxue who was beside Bei Chenling.
Sui Liang's pupils shrank, and his expression was faintly excited. He seemed to want to stand up with excitement, but when he was struggling to get up, the blanket fell to the ground, and his legs and feet seemed to be caught by something, and his figure was unstable. , Seeing that he was about to fall down.
Lin Aoxue took a step forward suddenly, and quickly supported Sui Liang's arm, so Sui Liang didn't fall to the ground, and only leaned against Lin Aoxue gently.
Lin Aoxue had a sore nose. She was surprised to find that Sui Liang was very thin, and there was not much flesh on his arms, except for the skin and bones. It had been more than a year since she saw Sui Liang last time. In order to prevent her from revealing her identity, Ling insisted on gaining Bei Chenhe's trust in Lin Aoxue in a self-destructive way. As a result, Sui Liang was taken away by Bei Chenhe, and Lin Aoxue didn't even have a chance to save him.
Later, she heard from Pei Qing in the northern border that Sui Liang had been rescued, but her legs were disabled. Although she was sad at that time, she didn't worry too much. After all, as long as people are still alive, they are fine.
However, when she saw Sui Liang with her own eyes today, Lin Aoxue was shocked and saddened to find that Sui Liang had almost become another person. There were not many strong muscles left on his body, and the inconvenience of his legs and feet had affected him beyond Lin Aoxue's. Imagine, during the time when he was captured by Bei Chenhe, he must have suffered a lot of torture. Bei Chenhe not only disabled Sui Liang's legs, but even his whole body of martial arts was also disabled.
Sui Liang was originally under 50 years old, when Lin Aoxue saw him last year, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, but now that he met again, in Lin Aoxue's eyes, Sui Liang was already like a late old man, dying of old age.
She couldn't imagine how Sui Liang spent this year. A person who used to have strong martial arts can only sit in a small courtyard in a daze. If Sui Liang hadn't had a firm mind, he might have gone mad already.
"Uncle Mu..."
Lin Aoxue called out in a trembling voice, Sui Liang grabbed her wrist excitedly, looked at each other speechlessly for a moment, and burst into tears.
"Cher."
Sui Liang's voice was very hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time. Lin Aoxue suppressed the pain in her heart, and forcibly held back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes. She took a deep breath, but could only reluctantly respond:
"I'm here."
Standing aside, Bei Chenling saw such a scene, her eyes became misty, she looked away helplessly, her red lips were lightly pursed, and she could barely restrain the urge to cry.
"Okay, okay!"
Sui Liang said hello twice in a row, he was emotional, and the hands that grabbed Lin Aoxue's wrist couldn't help shaking.To see Lin Aoxue again, all the hardships he had suffered in the previous year were all worth it.
"Uncle Liu, sit down first."
Lin Aoxue supported Sui Liang, lest he accidentally fall.
Hearing this, Sui Liang sat back on the chair according to the words, Lin Aoxue picked up the thin blanket that fell on the ground, shook the dust on it, then lifted Sui Liang to cover his lap, and said:
"Uncle Liu, Xue'er is back to see you."
Sui Liang's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Lin Aoxue with relief in his eyes. When Lin Aoxue put the thin blanket on his lap, he secretly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to grab the tears again. Grabbing Lin Aoxue's wrist, he said to her:
"It's good to be back, Xue'er, Uncle Liu has something to tell you."
Lin Aoxue nodded, and Bei Chenling sent Lin Aoxue to her. The task on her body was considered complete, so she took the initiative to say:
"Then I'll wait outside."
Before she finished speaking, Sui Liang turned his head away:
"You don't need to evade Princess Ling, you can also listen to these words."
Bei Chenling was taken aback when he heard the words.
Before that, although she managed to rescue Sui Ling from Bei Chenhe, Sui Ling never really trusted her, no matter how hard she tried, she only got one sentence from Sui Ling's mouth that Ning Muxue was still alive .
Afterwards, no matter how much she asked about his whereabouts, Sui Liang didn't open her mouth anymore. Fortunately, after Bei Chenling found out that Lin Aoxue was a woman, she spent a lot of effort to investigate, and gradually determined that Lin Aoxue was Ning Muxue.
Today, she brought Lin Aoxue to the small courtyard, and she has completely gained the trust of Sui Liang. Sui Ling let her stay, and since she had no reason to leave, she looked at Lin Aoxue and stood quietly, waiting for Sui Ling to leave. Go on.
Sui Liang held Lin Aoxue's wrist, fearing that if he let go, Lin Aoxue would disappear, and everything in front of him was just a dream that he couldn't ask for.
Fortunately, Lin Aoxue had been obediently standing by his side, he could see and touch, this junior whom he placed high hopes on, really appeared by his side.
He let out a hot breath, patted the back of Lin Aoxue's hand, then signaled Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling to sit down on the stone bench beside her, and then said:
"Xue'er, Princess Ling, what I'm telling you now is of great importance. After you hear it, keep it in your heart, and remember that when you leave this small courtyard, don't tell anyone else."
Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling looked at each other, then nodded earnestly:
"Don't worry, Uncle Liu."
Sui Liang let out a deep sigh, then opened his mouth, and slowly said the things that were pressing in his heart:
"Xue'er, back then, Uncle Liang had gone through many relationships and conducted a lot of investigations in secret, and finally found out the truth about the frame-up of the Zhen Guogong's mansion."
Lin Aoxue's expression became solemn, and Bei Chenling frowned. Lin Aoxue's throat moved, her fists clenched subconsciously, and she asked:
"Uncle Liu, you mean, you figured out why Bei Chenhe wanted to attack my father?"
Sui Liang nodded vigorously, his eyes burst out with undisguised anger and hatred, and he said through gritted teeth:
"That's right, Bei Chenlong was the only person who harmed General Ning at first, but Bei Chenlong was narrow-minded and short-sighted, and he was no threat to General Ning at all. The person who really gave General Ning a fatal blow was Bei Chenhe. .”
Speaking of this, Sui Liang glanced sideways at Bei Chenling, but seeing that the latter's eyes showed deep thought, but there was no other emotional ups and downs, Sui Liang nodded secretly, and then continued:
"Speaking of which, General Ning also suffered an unreasonable disaster. When he entered the palace to attend the palace banquet in the early years, he accidentally ran into a royal scandal. He drank a little drunk at the banquet and went out to ventilate, but he met the prince of the clan Beichenhe and the emperor. In a private meeting with his concubine, he panicked and asked Bei Chenhe to find out about the movement, but luckily he withdrew in time without letting Bei Chenhe recognize his identity."
When Sui Liang said this, Lin Aoxue's face showed shock, Bei Chenling also widened her eyes in surprise, and said in surprise:
"Private meeting between prince and concubine?"
Bei Chenhe is well-known in the capital for his cleanliness. He has only one concubine, which is Bei Chenling's mother. When Bei Chenling was young, the concubine passed away, and Bei Chenhe has never remarried. Therefore, there is only one princess in the palace, Beichenling.
Unexpectedly, today they heard from Sui Liang that Bei Chenhe was having an affair with the emperor's concubines. If the news got out, not to mention how angry the emperor would be, just the word of the world would be enough to ruin Bei Chenhe's reputation.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and asked in shock:
"It must be that Bei Chenhe later found out that it was my father who ran into his secret that day."
Sui Liang sneered, nodded and said:
"Yes or no. Speaking of which, the general himself was responsible for this disaster. After he ran into Bei Chenhe's private meeting with his concubine that day, he buried it in his heart. No one ever mentioned it. Once this secret was hidden, it would be ten thousand years old." Several years, until one time, when Bei Chenhe came to visit the mansion, the general drank some wine and let the matter slip through his mouth."
Lin Aoxue's heart tightened, Ning Yiyun missed the matter, the other party was still Bei Chenhe, with Bei Chenhe's cleverness, how could he not have guessed what happened many years ago, no matter how good their superficial brotherhood was, they couldn't resist Bei Chenhe's love for Ning With Yiyun's suspicion, it is impossible for Bei Chenhe not to get rid of Ning Yiyun because of this incident.
"The general also knew that he had caused trouble after the military, so he prepared the golden key and quietly hid the forces under his hands. At the same time, he wrote a document to report that he planned to resign from office and go back to hiding. Unexpectedly, the disaster came sooner than he expected. , He didn't have time to deal with it, before the letter of resignation was handed over to the emperor's case, the town government's mansion was massacred."
Bei Chenling's face darkened, and Lin Aoxue also clenched her fists. It turned out that this was the truth behind the extermination of the Zhen Guogong's family.
How ridiculous.
More than 100 people were killed because of Ning Yiyun's slip of the tongue when he was drunk, revealing the secret he had hidden for more than ten years.And Beichenhe's hostility towards Ning Yiyun has not dissipated even after more than ten years.
Fortunately, these two people still look like best friends in front of people.
Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth, Bei Chenling raised her eyes to look at her with complicated expressions, she never thought that the truth was like this.She originally thought that Bei Chenhe was enough to disappoint her, but unexpectedly, it turned out that Bei Chenhe's viciousness and hypocrisy far exceeded her imagination.
From the very beginning, it was Bei Chenhe's fault, but because he covered up this mistake, he made the same mistake again and again.
Ning Yiyun had already concealed the scene he had seen, and did not take the initiative to provoke Bei Chenhe, but still ushered in this innocent disaster.Lin Aoxue was trembling with anger, Bei Chenling reached out and patted the back of her hand comfortingly, but said nothing to comfort her.
Because she knew that in her capacity, she couldn't comfort Lin Aoxue.
It is ridiculous to say it, because to Lin Aoxue, she is already the daughter of the enemy.Now she is sitting beside Lin Aoxue, listening to Sui Liang's recounting of the crimes committed by his father, and she is brainstorming with Lin Aoxue and others on how to deal with Bei Chenhe. , but failed miserably.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, then closed her eyes heavily, and opened them again after a long time, the hatred in her eyes was forcibly suppressed by her.It is extremely dangerous for her to show hatred in her eyes.
"I didn't expect it to look like this."
Her shoulders slumped, there was deep thought in her eyes, and she was even more distressed and helpless.
It has been more than ten years since the tragedy in Zhen Guogong's mansion, and now even if the truth is known, no one can complain for Ning Yiyun.Now that Bei Chenhe is so powerful that even the emperor can't suppress Bei Chenhe, it is even more difficult for Lin Aoxue to take revenge.
Sui Liang's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Aoxue, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Aoxue's wrist, and said solemnly:
"Judging from the current situation, most of Bei Chenhe wants to seek power and usurp the throne. The emperor's health is getting worse day by day. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is declining day by day, and because of the drought last year, the people all over the world are complaining more and more about the emperor. Gao, on the contrary, it was Beichenhe who gradually won over the ministers of the court and central government, and began to control the government and control the real power."
Lin Aoxue listened carefully, and she also had some guesses about it. Beichenhe spent so much effort to get rid of Beichenlong, and tried every means to tarnish the emperor's reputation, and even secretly recruited important officials in the court. If he said he had no idea about the throne, Lin Aoxue didn't believe what she said.
Now that Lin Aoxue has learned the truth of what happened back then, with the current state of the emperor, it is extremely unrealistic for them to rely on the emperor to plead Ning Yiyun's grievances, but at least they can't let Beichenhe's trickery succeed, the emperor must try to get rid of the emperor, They have to find a way to keep the emperor, or to support a new prince to sit on the throne.
Lin Aoxue was thinking about it when she heard Sui Liang's voice again:
"In recent years, the emperor's princes have died one after another. Except for the fourth prince who died young, the third prince was crippled by an arrow in his knee, the fifth prince was killed when he went to the northern border, and two more princes in the palace died of illness for no reason. There is only the sixth prince, who is not yet five years old, and cannot support the overall situation, and the power in the palace has already been emptied by Bei Chenhe."
The more Sui Ling went on, the heavier Lin Aoxue's heart became. The current situation has reached an extremely serious situation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a close call.
If Bei Chenhe still had the military power in his hands, he didn't even need to make any special preparations. As soon as the emperor died of illness, only a little sixth prince could succeed him. After a long time, no matter what reason the sixth prince died, Bei Chenhe would sit on the throne without breaking a sweat.
What Bei Chenhe is doing now is not only for the throne, he wants to be justified, and even makes plans for the future development. He not only wants to ascend the throne, but also sits on the dragon with the support of thousands of people chair.
Therefore, he did not act for a long time.
But anyone with a heart knows that that change, or more accurately called catastrophe, will come soon.
They couldn't help thinking, with the power in their hands, could they stop Bei Chenhe?
"If we wait for Bei Chenhe to make a move, the situation will become very passive."
It was neither Sui Liang nor Lin Aoxue who said this, but Bei Chenling who had been silently listening to Sui Liang's narration since just now.Lin Aoxue and Sui Liang turned their heads away at the same time, but seeing Bei Chenling's brows were tightly furrowed, with deep thought in her eyes, she continued:
"Based on what Uncle Liu said just now, Beichenhe has already prepared everything, and now he only owes an east wind. I don't think it will take long before the news of the emperor's death will spread in the capital. We can't be so passive. We must be in Beichen It is better to strike first before he strikes."
As Beichenhe's daughter, Beichenling was actually advising Lin Aoxue and others at this moment.
Sui Ling looked at Bei Chenling in surprise. He originally thought that even if Bei Chenling had no hostility towards them, he would not take the initiative to do something righteous and exterminate their relatives. However, Bei Chenling seemed to be more open-minded than he expected, and also hated her father even more. .
"Does Princess Ling have a good strategy?"
Sui Liang followed up with a question.Without hesitation, Bei Chenling immediately expressed what was in her heart without reservation:
"Since we already know that Bei Chenhe had an affair with the emperor's concubine, we can use this as evidence and report the matter to the emperor first. I wonder if we can find evidence to prove this now? The name who had a private meeting with Bei Chenhe back then Concubine, who is it?"
Bei Chenling pointed out the key points and asked Sui Liang for advice.
Sui Liang thought for a moment with his head sideways, and then replied:
"It is the enchantress presented to Emperor Beichen by the countries in the southern border."
The author has something to say: Oh, everyone must have guessed that our Yan'er's mother made an appearance

After Lin Aoxue changed her clothes and came out, the two met again and went to the nearby Long Street. Bei Chenhe, who was in the study, heard that Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling had just rejected his proposed marriage in front of him plausibly, and then they met together Going out to play, Bei Chenhe laughed angrily at the news, he shook his head with a cold face, and hummed:

There was a thin layer of ice, and at a glance, the willow trees on the bank were also bare, looking extremely bleak.
This is not the first time Lin Aoxue has seen such a scene, she quickly reacted and said in surprise:
"Zhanyang Lake."
Bei Chenling smiled and nodded, then lightly pulled the curtain of the car window, pointed to the towering pavilion on the other side of the lake, and said:
"Let's go to the Canary Tower."
Canary Tower.
Lin Aoxue suddenly had an impression in her heart. She had heard of the Golden Bird Tower when she came to the capital last year, and this building was a bit special. She once took the golden key to the top of the Golden Bird Tower and stayed there for a while, but did not find anything unusual.

"Okay, okay!"
Sui Liang said hello twice in a row, he was emotional, and the hands that grabbed Lin Aoxue's wrist couldn't help shaking.To see Lin Aoxue again, all the hardships he had suffered in the previous year were all worth it.
"Uncle Liu, sit down first."
Lin Aoxue supported Sui Liang, lest he accidentally fall.
Hearing this, Sui Liang sat back on the chair according to the words, Lin Aoxue picked up the thin blanket that fell on the ground, shook the dust on it, then lifted Sui Liang to cover his lap, and said:
"Uncle Liu, Xue'er is back to see you."
Sui Liang's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Lin Aoxue with relief in his eyes. When Lin Aoxue put the thin blanket on his lap, he secretly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to grab the tears again. Grabbing Lin Aoxue's wrist, he said to her:
"It's good to be back, Xue'er, Uncle Liu has something to tell you."
Lin Aoxue nodded, and Bei Chenling sent Lin Aoxue to her. The task on her body was considered complete, so she took the initiative to say:
"Then I'll wait outside."
Before she finished speaking, Sui Liang turned his head away:
"You don't need to evade Princess Ling, you can also listen to these words."
Bei Chenling was taken aback when he heard the words.
Before that, although she managed to rescue Sui Ling from Bei Chenhe, Sui Ling never really trusted her, no matter how hard she tried, she only got one sentence from Sui Ling's mouth that Ning Muxue was still alive .
Afterwards, no matter how much she asked about his whereabouts, Sui Liang didn't open her mouth anymore. Fortunately, after Bei Chenling found out that Lin Aoxue was a woman, she spent a lot of effort to investigate, and gradually determined that Lin Aoxue was Ning Muxue.
Today, she brought Lin Aoxue to the small courtyard, and she has completely gained the trust of Sui Liang. Sui Ling let her stay, and since she had no reason to leave, she looked at Lin Aoxue and stood quietly, waiting for Sui Ling to leave. Go on.
Sui Liang held Lin Aoxue's wrist, fearing that if he let go, Lin Aoxue would disappear, and everything in front of him was just a dream that he couldn't ask for.
Fortunately, Lin Aoxue had been obediently standing by his side, he could see and touch, this junior whom he placed high hopes on, really appeared by his side.
He let out a hot breath, patted the back of Lin Aoxue's hand, then signaled Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling to sit down on the stone bench beside her, and then said:
"Xue'er, Princess Ling, what I'm telling you now is of great importance. After you hear it, keep it in your heart, and remember that when you leave this small courtyard, don't tell anyone else."
Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling looked at each other, then nodded earnestly:
"Don't worry, Uncle Liu."
Sui Liang let out a deep sigh, then opened his mouth, and slowly said the things that were pressing in his heart:
"Xue'er, back then, Uncle Liang had gone through many relationships and conducted a lot of investigations in secret, and finally found out the truth about the frame-up of the Zhen Guogong's mansion."
Lin Aoxue's expression became solemn, and Bei Chenling frowned. Lin Aoxue's throat moved, her fists clenched subconsciously, and she asked:
"Uncle Liu, you mean, you figured out why Bei Chenhe wanted to attack my father?"
Sui Liang nodded vigorously, his eyes burst out with undisguised anger and hatred, and he said through gritted teeth:
"That's right, Bei Chenlong was the only person who harmed General Ning at first, but Bei Chenlong was narrow-minded and short-sighted, and he was no threat to General Ning at all. The person who really gave General Ning a fatal blow was Bei Chenhe. .”
Speaking of this, Sui Liang glanced sideways at Bei Chenling, but seeing that the latter's eyes showed deep thought, but there was no other emotional ups and downs, Sui Liang nodded secretly, and then continued:
"Speaking of which, General Ning also suffered an unreasonable disaster. When he entered the palace to attend the palace banquet in the early years, he accidentally ran into a royal scandal. He drank a little drunk at the banquet and went out to ventilate, but he met the prince of the clan Beichenhe and the emperor. In a private meeting with his concubine, he panicked and asked Bei Chenhe to find out about the movement, but luckily he withdrew in time without letting Bei Chenhe recognize his identity."
When Sui Liang said this, Lin Aoxue's face showed shock, Bei Chenling also widened her eyes in surprise, and said in surprise:
"Private meeting between prince and concubine?"
Bei Chenhe is well-known in the capital for his cleanliness. He has only one concubine, which is Bei Chenling's mother. When Bei Chenling was young, the concubine passed away, and Bei Chenhe has never remarried. Therefore, there is only one princess in the palace, Beichenling.
Unexpectedly, today they heard from Sui Liang that Bei Chenhe was having an affair with the emperor's concubines. If the news got out, not to mention how angry the emperor would be, just the word of the world would be enough to ruin Bei Chenhe's reputation.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and asked in shock:
"It must be that Bei Chenhe later found out that it was my father who ran into his secret that day."
Sui Liang sneered, nodded and said:
"Yes or no. Speaking of which, the general himself was responsible for this disaster. After he ran into Bei Chenhe's private meeting with his concubine that day, he buried it in his heart. No one ever mentioned it. Once this secret was hidden, it would be ten thousand years old." Several years, until one time, when Bei Chenhe came to visit the mansion, the general drank some wine and let the matter slip through his mouth."
Lin Aoxue's heart tightened, Ning Yiyun missed the matter, the other party was still Bei Chenhe, with Bei Chenhe's cleverness, how could he not have guessed what happened many years ago, no matter how good their superficial brotherhood was, they couldn't resist Bei Chenhe's love for Ning With Yiyun's suspicion, it is impossible for Bei Chenhe not to get rid of Ning Yiyun because of this incident.
"The general also knew that he had caused trouble after the military, so he prepared the golden key and quietly hid the forces under his hands. At the same time, he wrote a document to report that he planned to resign from office and go back to hiding. Unexpectedly, the disaster came sooner than he expected. , He didn't have time to deal with it, before the letter of resignation was handed over to the emperor's case, the town government's mansion was massacred."
Bei Chenling's face darkened, and Lin Aoxue also clenched her fists. It turned out that this was the truth behind the extermination of the Zhen Guogong's family.
How ridiculous.
More than 100 people were killed because of Ning Yiyun's slip of the tongue when he was drunk, revealing the secret he had hidden for more than ten years.And Beichenhe's hostility towards Ning Yiyun has not dissipated even after more than ten years.
Fortunately, these two people still look like best friends in front of people.
Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth, Bei Chenling raised her eyes to look at her with complicated expressions, she never thought that the truth was like this.She originally thought that Bei Chenhe was enough to disappoint her, but unexpectedly, it turned out that Bei Chenhe's viciousness and hypocrisy far exceeded her imagination.
From the very beginning, it was Bei Chenhe's fault, but because he covered up this mistake, he made the same mistake again and again.
Ning Yiyun had already concealed the scene he had seen, and did not take the initiative to provoke Bei Chenhe, but still ushered in this innocent disaster.Lin Aoxue was trembling with anger, Bei Chenling reached out and patted the back of her hand comfortingly, but said nothing to comfort her.
Because she knew that in her capacity, she couldn't comfort Lin Aoxue.
It is ridiculous to say it, because to Lin Aoxue, she is already the daughter of the enemy.Now she is sitting beside Lin Aoxue, listening to Sui Liang's recounting of the crimes committed by his father, and she is brainstorming with Lin Aoxue and others on how to deal with Bei Chenhe. , but failed miserably.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, then closed her eyes heavily, and opened them again after a long time, the hatred in her eyes was forcibly suppressed by her.It is extremely dangerous for her to show hatred in her eyes.
"I didn't expect it to look like this."
Her shoulders slumped, there was deep thought in her eyes, and she was even more distressed and helpless.
It has been more than ten years since the tragedy in Zhen Guogong's mansion, and now even if the truth is known, no one can complain for Ning Yiyun.Now that Bei Chenhe is so powerful that even the emperor can't suppress Bei Chenhe, it is even more difficult for Lin Aoxue to take revenge.
Sui Liang's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Aoxue, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Aoxue's wrist, and said solemnly:
"Judging from the current situation, most of Bei Chenhe wants to seek power and usurp the throne. The emperor's health is getting worse day by day. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is declining day by day, and because of the drought last year, the people all over the world are complaining more and more about the emperor. Gao, on the contrary, it was Beichenhe who gradually won over the ministers of the court and central government, and began to control the government and control the real power."
Lin Aoxue listened carefully, and she also had some guesses about it. Beichenhe spent so much effort to get rid of Beichenlong, and tried every means to tarnish the emperor's reputation, and even secretly recruited important officials in the court. If he said he had no idea about the throne, Lin Aoxue didn't believe what she said.
Now that Lin Aoxue has learned the truth of what happened back then, with the current state of the emperor, it is extremely unrealistic for them to rely on the emperor to plead Ning Yiyun's grievances, but at least they can't let Beichenhe's trickery succeed, the emperor must try to get rid of the emperor, They have to find a way to keep the emperor, or to support a new prince to sit on the throne.
Lin Aoxue was thinking about it when she heard Sui Liang's voice again:
"In recent years, the emperor's princes have died one after another. Except for the fourth prince who died young, the third prince was crippled by an arrow in his knee, the fifth prince was killed when he went to the northern border, and two more princes in the palace died of illness for no reason. There is only the sixth prince, who is not yet five years old, and cannot support the overall situation, and the power in the palace has already been emptied by Bei Chenhe."
The more Sui Ling went on, the heavier Lin Aoxue's heart became. The current situation has reached an extremely serious situation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a close call.
If Bei Chenhe still had the military power in his hands, he didn't even need to make any special preparations. As soon as the emperor died of illness, only a little sixth prince could succeed him. After a long time, no matter what reason the sixth prince died, Bei Chenhe would sit on the throne without breaking a sweat.
What Bei Chenhe is doing now is not only for the throne, he wants to be justified, and even makes plans for the future development. He not only wants to ascend the throne, but also sits on the dragon with the support of thousands of people chair.
Therefore, he did not act for a long time.
But anyone with a heart knows that that change, or more accurately called catastrophe, will come soon.
They couldn't help thinking, with the power in their hands, could they stop Bei Chenhe?
"If we wait for Bei Chenhe to make a move, the situation will become very passive."
It was neither Sui Liang nor Lin Aoxue who said this, but Bei Chenling who had been silently listening to Sui Liang's narration since just now.Lin Aoxue and Sui Liang turned their heads away at the same time, but seeing Bei Chenling's brows were tightly furrowed, with deep thought in her eyes, she continued:
"Based on what Uncle Liu said just now, Beichenhe has already prepared everything, and now he only owes an east wind. I don't think it will take long before the news of the emperor's death will spread in the capital. We can't be so passive. We must be in Beichen It is better to strike first before he strikes."
As Beichenhe's daughter, Beichenling was actually advising Lin Aoxue and others at this moment.
Sui Ling looked at Bei Chenling in surprise. He originally thought that even if Bei Chenling had no hostility towards them, he would not take the initiative to do something righteous and exterminate their relatives. However, Bei Chenling seemed to be more open-minded than he expected, and also hated her father even more. .
"Does Princess Ling have a good strategy?"
Sui Liang followed up with a question.Without hesitation, Bei Chenling immediately expressed what was in her heart without reservation:
"Since we already know that Bei Chenhe had an affair with the emperor's concubine, we can use this as evidence and report the matter to the emperor first. I wonder if we can find evidence to prove this now? The name who had a private meeting with Bei Chenhe back then Concubine, who is it?"
Bei Chenling pointed out the key points and asked Sui Liang for advice.
Sui Liang thought for a moment with his head sideways, and then replied:
"It is the enchantress presented to Emperor Beichen by the countries in the southern border."
The author has something to say: Oh, everyone must have guessed that our Yan'er's mother made an appearance
