The dinner at Uncle Wangyang's mansion was very sumptuous, Daddy Ling and Aunt Zhou who were usually not qualified to sit on the table were also invited to the table. Although the eldest lady had a bad face, she did not dare to disobey Jun Lixuan's intention.
Ling Qiyang's eldest brother, Ling Hongzhi, also returned to the mansion. When he heard that Ling Qiyang was back, he hurried over without even changing his court clothes. It can be seen that he still cares about Ling Qiyang. Ling Hongzhi asked about Ling Qiyang's recent situation. He went to court every day, and he had heard about it, but what others told him was not as straightforward as what he saw with his own eyes.
Seeing that not only did Ling Qiyang not lose weight, but his complexion was ruddy, and his smile was much bigger than before, he felt relieved. Ling Qiyang introduced him to Jun Lixuan, Jun Lixuan is notoriously difficult to get acquainted with, Ling Hongzhi had this heart before and didn't have this opportunity, but now he is in Ling Qiyang's favor.
Seeing that he treated Ling Qiyang well, Jun Lixuan's attitude improved a little.
During the dinner, Ling Hongzhi took advantage of the toast and secretly said to Ling Qiyang: "Today the emperor summoned me to face the saint because of the affairs of the Tama tribe in the north, do you know?"
"I've heard a little bit, but I don't know the specifics." Ling Qiyang concealed part of it, and this was also to protect Jun Lixuan. Sometimes, there are some things that can only become real secrets if you keep the secrets yourself.
"What did the lord tell you?" Ling Hongzhi asked.
Ling Qiyang nodded, "The emperor is furious, it's hard for a prince not to know."
"That's right." Not to mention the prince, even these courtiers must always pay attention to the emperor's happiness and anger in order to keep safe. There is nothing wrong with saying that half a king is like a half tiger.
"The emperor is still angry?" Ling Qiyang didn't directly ask what the emperor said, but changed the angle to formulate the words.
"Well, the anger has not subsided. This afternoon, Concubine Ying knelt outside and begged to see the emperor all afternoon, but the emperor ignored her. Looking at the courtiers summoned by the emperor this time, it seems that she is not going to use the prince anymore." Ling Hongzhi had nothing to hide. Said his guess.
"The eldest prince probably lost not only the hearts of the people, but also the hearts of the soldiers this time. If the prince is sent again, everyone will be suspicious, thinking that the prince does not understand the hard life of the people, and will not think about them. Repeat. So it is more appropriate to send a capable general there." Ling Qiyang said in a low voice.
"Brother Conghui." Ling Hongzhi nodded with a smile.
"Big brother believed me and was willing to tell me these things." Ling Qiyang laughed. He understood that the reason why Ling Hongzhi told him these things was because his father was very smart, so he probably guessed this sooner or later. The second is the strategic art of war that Ling Hongzhi learned, in addition to what Mr. Ling taught, part of it was taught by Ling Daddy. And it is precisely this part of the latter that is the secret treasure that he has come to today. It is taken from others, so naturally there is no need to hide it.
"Looking at the situation, the matter in the north is uneven, and the emperor will not stop it." Ling Hongzhi said.
"If elder brother wants to go to war, please be careful, younger brother may not be able to see you off." Although Jun Lixuan did not restrict his freedom, it is not as convenient for him to go out as when he is at home.
"Brother knows. I said this to you, just to make you feel at ease. The prince should not go out for the time being. You can still cultivate your relationship with peace of mind." Ling Hongzhi blinked jokingly.
Ling Hongzhi's eldest Ling Qiyang is six years old, handsome and polite, with a bit of a Confucian temperament about him, so that sometimes it is difficult for others to see that he is a general.
"Thank you, big brother. I'll send someone to bring some good wound medicine for you some other day." Ling Qiyang said.
"Brother, you're welcome." Ling Hongzhi patted Ling Qiyang's shoulder with a smile, and then returned to his seat.
After a meal, it can barely be regarded as a happy event for both the host and the guest...
After dinner, Ling Qiyang and his father went back to the house to drink tea, while Jun Lixuan went to play chess with Ling Hong.
The father and son just drank half of the tea when Ming Li walked in with a smile, "Princess, the prince said that the road is not easy to walk in the dark, so we will stay overnight at Uncle Wangyang's mansion tonight. Let you chat with Mrs. Yuejun slowly." .Uncle has already ordered someone to tidy up your previous house, please stay here. The prince said that if it is too late, you can directly sleep in Mrs. Yuejun's place."
Hearing Mingli's words, Ling Qiyang was speechless for a while. He was very moved by Jun Lixuan's understanding of him and his thoughtfulness. At the same time, he also felt that today his attention was allotted to his father, and he didn't pay attention to Jun Lixuan at all.
"Go and tell him, I'll go back to my room at night." Ling Qiyang said.
"Yes, I'll go now, little one." Ming Li smiled and went down.
Daddy Ling drank his tea and said with a light smile, "My lord has a heart."
Ling Qiyang smiled but said nothing...
When Jun Lixuan returned to the courtyard, it was already late, Daddy Ling's small courtyard was very quiet and elegant, and there were no extra servants.
At this time Ling Qiyang was still chatting with his father in the main room, Jun Lixuan didn't bother him. But as soon as he took two steps towards Ling Qiyang's room, Jun Lixuan stopped.
"My lord?" Mingli held the lantern and looked at Jun Lixuan who had stopped in puzzlement.
Jun Lixuan glanced at the roof, and the shadow guard who had been staying on the room to protect Ling Qiyang jumped down, and whispered in Jun Lixuan's ear: "As soon as the servant who cleaned the room left, Miss Ling's family sneaked in. I left the room and never came out."
A sneer curled up on the corner of Jun Lixuan's mouth, and he waved his hand to make the shadow guard retreat. Then he glanced at Mingli, who immediately understood, handed the lantern in his hand to Jun Lixuan, and ran out quickly.
After a while, the guards from Bo's residence were brought. When Wang Yanghou heard that there was an assassin hidden in the room, he was also taken aback, and quickly followed. Afterwards, a group of people, led by Ming Li, rushed into the room to catch the assassin.
After the guards in the mansion broke into the door and saw the naked young lady, they were too frightened to move. And Ling Jieyu was also stunned by the scene in front of him, just about to scream, he was gagged by Jun Lixuan's guards and dragged out the door.
Seeing people coming out, Uncle Wangyang said angrily: "Where did the thief come from, dare to assassinate in the uncle's mansion, let me press him up, and wait for the prince to punish him."
Uncle Wangyang's roar also drew Father Ling and Ling Qiyang out, and even Ling Hongzhi and Aunt Zhou from the nearby yard came to see what was going on.
But when the man was brought in front of Uncle Wangyang, Uncle Wangyang was completely dumbfounded. Ling Jieyu was pushed and shoved in front of Jun Lixuan. In such a cold winter, Ling Jieyu's clothes were indeed too thin, and the pink bellyband was still exposed. The girl's family name was completely lost.
Ling Jieyu was shivering all over, he didn't know whether it was from the cold or from fright. On the contrary, Wang Yanghou was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, pleading guilty repeatedly, "It's because I didn't discipline you strictly, I deserve death..."
Ling Jieyu ran to Ling Qiyang's room for no reason, and today the whole house knew that Lin Wang and Lin Wang Concubine were going to stay overnight, so who would believe that they made a mistake? If Jun Lixuan decides that Ling Jieyu is an assassin, then no one can save her, not even the lives of his family.
"What's going on?" Ling Qiyang walked over quickly.
Seeing that he came out without his coat on, Jun Lixuan quickly took off his cloak and put it on him. And Luo Su, who was following behind, also had a wink, and took Ling Qiyang's cloak and put it on for Father Ling.
"Just after I entered the courtyard, I wanted to go back to the house, but I saw a sneaky shadow on the window, so I asked someone to take a look. After all, this is Uncle Wangyang's mansion, so I can't do it privately." Jun Lixuan said for a while. With a perfect excuse, if he finds out the person, the current Ling Jieyu can say that he has been wronged.
"Sister, this is..." Ling Qiyang didn't know what to say, and it was inconvenient for him to take a second look at such a sister.
Father Ling looked at Uncle Yang, then at Ling Jieyu, turned around and entered the room without saying a word. Luo Su followed in and closed the door.
"You...you..." Uncle Wangyang came back to his senses with great difficulty. You were panting for a long time, "You bastard! What are you doing in Qiyang's room in the middle of the night!"
At this time, the doctor who rushed in after hearing the news rushed in. Seeing his distressed daughter, he immediately rushed forward, pulled out the veil from her mouth, and cried, "My poor daughter, who put you on the ground?" If you got hurt like this, tell mother, mother will avenge you!"
Seeing his mother coming, Ling Jieyu immediately burst into tears.
"You still have the guts to cry? You've completely disgraced the uncle's house by doing such a shameless thing!" Uncle Wang Yang pointed at his daughter, his fingers trembling.
"Master, please don't wrong Yu'er. She has always been obedient and docile. Someone must have kidnapped her. My poor daughter... how can she have such a good reputation..." The lady continued to cry.
Uncle Wangyang was annoyed by the crying of the mother and daughter, but he was annoyed that the matter involved King Lin and had to be resolved.
"My lord." Mingli came out with Ling Jieyu's clothes, and said respectfully: "Miss Ling's clothes are neatly placed on the corner stool, there is no sign of damage or dirt, it doesn't look like she was tied up. It looks like it's coming."
If it was tied, the person who took off her clothes would not be so meticulous, not to mention that there was no damage, and they were neatly folded. Even if Ling Jieyu was threatened to take off by herself, with her character of crying when something happened, her eyes should have been swollen from crying long ago, and she wouldn't be in the state of crying not long ago.
"Good girl, do you think someone tricked you here?" The eldest lady continued to defend her daughter.
Jun Lixuan was already too lazy to watch this farce, Ling Qiyang stood beside him, his hand was held by him, it was very warm.
"I..." Ling Jieyu obviously hadn't thought of a word yet.
"Miss, I don't think someone threatened the young lady." Aunt Zhou walked over unhurriedly, saluted Jun Lixuan, and said, "The young lady's yard is always chosen for the best advantage." The house will be guarded, in order to protect the young lady from being disturbed. Not to mention other people, only you and the master can enter the courtyard. So there is no instigation by others. If the young lady was kidnapped Yes, it’s not quite like it. Hongzhi just went to the Missy’s yard to see, no one was injured, and everything was normal. Later, I asked the Missy’s personal maid, and said that he left by himself. If you want to come to the yard, the Missy can Come out."
"You..." After being exposed by Aunt Zhou like this, the eldest lady couldn't cry anymore.
Seeing that the argument was incontrovertible, Ling Jieyu simply broke the jar and shouted: "So what if I ran here by myself? Originally, the position of Princess Lin should be mine, and Ling Qiyang stole it from me! My !!"
At this time, the people in the uncle's house gasped, saying this was a serious crime. The marriage between Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang was bestowed by the emperor himself, who would dare say it was stolen
"Bastard... You bastard! Do you know what you're talking about!" Uncle Wangyang, who came back to his senses, went up to beat his daughter, but was blocked by the eldest lady, and cried: "Master, what Xie Yu said is not true!" Fake, you..."
"Shut up!" Uncle Wangyang yelled, scaring the lady and Ling Jieyu into shutting up. Wang Yangpai immediately knelt down and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, I have not disciplined my wife and daughter well, please forgive them for Qi Yang's sake."
After hearing Ling Jieyu say that Ling Qiyang robbed her, Jun Lixuan's face became more and more serious. Now everyone in the Hou Mansion is kneeling on the ground, and there is Ling Daddy in the room. Even if he wants to kill someone, he has to suppress him, " You don't even take a picture of what you are, how dare you compare yourself with Qi Yang?"
Jun Lixuan's voice was freezing cold, "I don't know where you heard the rumors, I never thought of marrying you, and my father never mentioned you, I didn't even know who you were before, You don't need to waste your time here." He remembered that his father said that only his own people knew about it, so what Ling Jieyu heard might be more of the instigation of people who were jealous of Ling Qiyang, plus her own speculation.
"Let me hear this again in the future, and you will be punished for slandering the royal family and treason." Jun Lixuan embraced Ling Qiyang in front of him, "This king's concubine is only Qiyang, from beginning to end, from life to death." Until death, he is the only one."
Ling Qiyang stared blankly at Jun Lixuan, feeling a little sore in his heart, but quickly lowered his head to cover it up.
"Let's treat it as a family affair this time, and I don't want to take care of it anymore. Uncle Wangyang, I hope you can discipline your daughter well in the future, and stop causing trouble and talking nonsense."
"Yes, yes, thank you lord for your kindness." Uncle Wangyang kowtowed, got up and kicked the eldest lady, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and get out with this shameless thing!"
When the eldest lady heard that Lord Lin didn't blame her, she immediately cheered up and pulled her daughter away from Father Ling's yard surrounded by a group of women.
"This king is tired, you all should retreat too."
"yes."
Ignoring everyone, Jun Lixuan embraced Ling Qiyang and entered the room. Thinking that the eldest lady is the sister of the imperial concubine, and thinking that she and Ling Jieyu are both the imperial concubine's people, Jun Lixuan felt very relieved. Those who wanted to come to the uncle's mansion did not dare to speak up, and the eldest lady did not dare to tell the imperial concubine.
However, it is his Jun Lixuan's decision whether or not this matter will end like this.
