Five days later, Ling Chen returned to Yuncheng.
Bai Shaoting also returned to Yuncheng from Fuli Country.
Ling Chen sent new officials to coordinate these places, and everything is slowly moving towards normal.
King Ning attacked several times, but did not get any advantage, but lost Beiyi instead. The situation in the Northern Wilderness Continent has changed.
The battle of Beiyi was a watershed, and now everyone can see that King Ning is already at a disadvantage. In addition, his recent attack methods are too cruel, and the people have no other expectations except fear of him.
Qingyun was brought back to the palace by Ling Chen, and still lives in Shufang Palace.
Everyone only knows that she is the princess of Beiyi. She seldom goes out, and rarely interacts with other concubines in the palace.
Lan Ling still slept in the Emperor's Linhua Palace.
During this period of time, after finishing his work, King Rui asked Han Zhitao several times, "Since the emperor brought Qingyun back to the palace, why didn't he accept her as his concubine? Why is Lan Ling still lying in the imperial brother's Linhua Palace? As long as Lan Ling If the spirit is still there, Brother Huang's heart will not accept others!"
Han Zhitao was speechless. "No one dares to say too much about this matter in front of the emperor. The emperor has guarded her like this for almost three years."
King Rui said: "The only concubine he has accepted in the past two years is Beiyi's long shadow, and now he has broken off the engagement. The ministers have mentioned many times about the emperor accepting concubines, but he has refused. He has never spent the night with other concubines. .I will find a chance to ask brother Huang, how long is he going to wait!"
Han Zhitao sighed, "The emperor treats Qingyun differently, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted her as his concubine until now."
King Rui said: "Jingyun, why don't you speak, the emperor is always willing to listen to your opinion."
Huo Jingyun smiled: "Jingyun will only speak to the emperor about matters related to the country, and in terms of feelings, the emperor should decide for himself."
Han Zhitao disagreed: "The feelings of the people are his own business, the marriage and feelings of the emperor are the affairs of Daxingguo. The emperor currently only has one prince."
Huo Jingyun said: "The emperor is very wise, he is very clear about what he wants to do. The more princes, the better."
King Rui said: "Jingyun, what do you mean? Why does this king feel that you don't seem to want my imperial brother to accept the concubine?"
Huo Jingyun laughed: "I dare not."
Huo Jingyun really didn't want Qingyun to marry Ling Chen. Lan Ling's heart is on Ling Chen, but she is now Qing Yun.
After Bai Shaoting came back, he brought Yu Rong to see Lan Ling today.
The emperor is in a good mood today, he just received Jiang Rui's note, he really found a gold mine in Syracuse.
After Jiang Rui returned to Daxia Kingdom, he didn't take Qing Yun's words to heart. Some time ago, I happened to pass by Xuecheng, and suddenly remembered Qingyun's words, so I took some people and found some people who used to live in Bixiao Palace to look at the military defense map.
Someone knew the approximate location, and after three days and three nights of searching, they finally found the entrance to the sealed gold mine.
Jiang Rui was ecstatic.
With the gold mine, he no longer has to rack his brains for various expenses.
Some time ago, Tsing Yi Tang donated a lot of money to Daxing's team, and the old hall owner often gave Jiang Rui weapons or horses. Jiang Rui is grateful to the hall master, but he doesn't want to keep dragging Tsing Yi hall down.
Daxing's treasury has no money left. The emperor invested too much in Beiyi.
Everyone wants to share some for the emperor. Now that there is a gold mine, Jiang Rui's pressure is gone in an instant.
Ling Chen was also very happy to receive Jiang Rui's news. In the evening, Bai Shaoting happened to bring Yu Rong over, so he called everyone to Gu Huaxuan for dinner.
"Little noble son, invite Qingyun to come over." The emperor ordered.
We chatted for a while.
King Rui said: "Your Majesty, Princess Qingyun has made great achievements in finding a gold mine in Xuecheng. Does the Emperor still want her to live in the palace without a title?"
Ling Chen looked at King Rui, he understood everyone's intentions.
"She is different from other women, I haven't figured out how to deal with her yet." Ling Chen said the truth.
Yu Rong said: "Both Shaoting and I want to meet this princess. I heard that she looks a bit like the queen."
Han Zhitao said: "It's not just a resemblance, some places are just...."
Just as he was talking, Qingyun walked in.
She was wearing a moon-white gauze dress and a purple jade hairpin.
Qingyun saw Bai Shaoting and Yu Rong sitting there from a distance.
Qingyun walked over, like an old friend meeting, she even held Yu Rong's hand directly.
Yu Rong was very surprised.
She immediately understood why everyone hoped that the emperor would marry Qingyun. She not only looks like Lan Ling, but mainly because of her similarity in spirit.
The moment Qingyun held her hand just now, she thought it was Lan Ling.
Qingyun sat down next to Yu Rong.
Ling Chen looked at Qingyun and said, "Jiang Rui has sent you a letter. Sure enough, you found a gold mine in Bixiao Palace in Syracuse. Qingyun, you have done a great job. Tell me, what do you want?"
Qingyun smiled: "Can I ask for anything?"
Ling Chen nodded: "As long as it's within my ability."
Qingyun said: "Since the emperor said so, then I really have to think about it carefully, and I will ask you when I think about it. With so many people testifying, the emperor will not allow you to be foolish."
Everyone laughed.
Yu Rong smiled, looking at Ling Chen's smiling eyes, she knew in her heart that the emperor's heart had already been taken away by this woman.
Lan Ling, what do you do? You have given everything, if you don't wake up again, it will be another woman who walks into the prosperous world with him, are you willing? I told you earlier that as long as seven points are enough for a lover, leave three points for yourself, why don't you listen
He will definitely have a new life, even if he is not the emperor, after waiting for you for three years, everyone thinks he is worthy of you. Even I think that he should have a new lover.
So Lan Ling, wake up quickly.
Yu Rong said to Qingyun: "In those beautiful love stories since ancient times, women are fools. What do you think, princess?"
When Yu Rong suddenly asked such a question, everyone froze for a moment. Yu Rong was originally a very intelligent woman, so everyone knew that she was so reckless because of Lan Ling.
Yu Rong and Lan Ling are confidantes, and at this moment, there are many emotions in their hearts, and their faces inevitably become cold towards Qing Yun.
Bai Shaoting secretly shook her hand.
Qingyun looked at Yu Rong, but the light in his eyes was grateful. She took Wei Rong's hand, "Madam Bai, I understand what you mean, let me tell you a story that I like very much."
"Cai Mo is Gun's daughter, Dayu's younger sister, a beautiful and kind girl, she never likes to go out with her father and brother to socialize, and often hangs around alone in the small garden by the Yudai River.
Until she met a man --- Zhu Rong, her peaceful life was gone forever.
Zhu Rong is the grandson of the Northern Heavenly Emperor Zhuanxu (zhuanxu), the god of fire. He is arrogant and tough by nature, and he does not obey anyone's control except the Emperor of Heaven. For those women who were chasing after him, their expressions were even more changeable, and they showed no mercy. Because he didn't believe in the so-called love in the world until he discovered the colorful moth.
The moment their eyes meet, the fire of love burns in the hearts of the two, and they fall in love.
The relationship between the two was finally discovered by a woman who has been in love with Zhu Rong, the alluring snake girl. The fire-like jealousy made her do everything possible to separate the two. So, she seduced Gonggong, who was in charge of water, and Gonggong released a torrent of floods for her.
This action offended the Emperor of Heaven, who summoned Zhu Rong and ordered him to find out the source of the flood.
With his reluctance and nostalgia for Cai Moth, Zhu Rong embarked on the road back to the Heavenly Palace.
The flood rolled in, and it destroyed many families and separated their wives. And Cai Mo's father Gun and elder brother Yu were also called back to the palace by the Yellow Emperor to make suggestions for water control.
The snake girl, whose eyes were reddened by jealousy, bewitched Gun again at this time, as long as she got the treasure of the Emperor of Heaven, Xi Soil, the flood could be cured.
Because of this, Cai Mo's father, Gun, stole the resting soil of the Emperor of Heaven. Before the flood was cured, he was discovered by the furious Emperor of Heaven, which made the Emperor of Heaven furious.
The snake girl took the opportunity to instigate, saying that Father Gun and his daughter were colluding together to disturb the Heavenly Palace, and even described the pitiful Caimo as a witch who seduced Zhu Rong.
Believing the snake girl's instigation, the Emperor of Heaven ordered Zhu Rong to quickly destroy the Gun family whose father had stolen and his daughter was promiscuous, but Zhu Rong refused to do so. The Heavenly Emperor Longyan was furious, and if Zhu Rong dared to disobey his orders, he would be knocked down to the mortal world and suffer in the cycle of reincarnation forever.
After receiving the news from the palace, Cai Mo immediately made a decision.
She broke into the Heavenly Palace, committed suicide at the feet of the Emperor, and didn't even see Zhu Rong, whom she had been thinking about day and night.
After Caimo died, her body turned into thousands of moths, looking for her Zhu Rong everywhere in the world, so when she saw the jumping flames, she would rush in without hesitation, because it was Zhu Rong's warm chest ah. "
After Qingyun finished telling the story, everyone stopped talking.
Yu Rong said: "So Cai Mo is a fool. Zhu Rong married another woman long after she died. He gradually forgot about Cai Mo."
Qingyun said: "We are not colorful moths, how can we know the happiness of colorful moths? She loves Zhu Rong, and she is happy when Zhu Rong is happy. You think others are unfortunate, but others think you are sad. There is no right or wrong, just look Choose as you please.”
Yu Rong turned her face and took a deep look at Qingyun. This woman is not the shallow person she imagined. Qingyun also looked at her, his eyes sparkling, so sincere.
Yu Rong lowered her head, Lan Ling, if you don't wake up, I will betray you too.
Huo Jingyun gave Qingyun a package: "This is what you want."
Inside are the medicinal materials that Qingyun wants.
"What, it's still wrapped, Jingyun is really kind to junior sister." Han Zhitao said.
"Flower seeds." Huo Jingyun whispered.
Qingyun took a look at Huo Jingyun, it was obviously a medicinal material.
The days passed quickly, and it was almost a month in a blink of an eye. It is early autumn.
The emperor's face has become increasingly ugly recently. He kept frowning, retreated and hurried back to Linhua Hall.
No one knows exactly what happened.
Ling Chen recently noticed that Lan Ling's complexion was getting worse and worse.
Originally, although she had been sleeping all the time, she drank ginseng soup and took tonics every day, her face was still rosy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she had fallen asleep.
In the past few days, Ling Chen discovered that Lan Ling's face was grayish white, and his lips had also turned pale. The whole person is lifeless.
Ling Chen felt flustered and frightened.
"Ling'er, why is this? Are you blaming me? Blaming me for thinking of someone else?"
He found Dr. Gu, the imperial physician.
Dr. Gu took Lan Ling's pulse: "The queen's aura is getting weaker and weaker, the emperor and the minister are also powerless..."
"I see. You go out." Ling Chen asked Gu Yuyi to go out, and he took the door behind him, and he didn't come out for a day. The court did not go up. He is rarely absent from court.
When Qingyun heard Huo Jingyun mentioning this matter, he knew in his heart that Ling Feng's Resurrection Pill was about to lose its effect.
Qingyun sighed. As if that person was not her, but a real other person. She was anxious about how to make Ling Chen not feel so sad.
Qingyun got up early this morning and took Xiaojing to Wangyou Palace to pick a lot of dates. She wants jujube juice.
Just when Lixia entered Wangyou Palace, he saw Xiaojing carrying a basket of red dates in his hand, and knocked it over.
Li Xia said fiercely: "Princess, the emperor once issued an order that no one else can touch anything in Wangyou Palace, and anyone who violates it will be beheaded!"
Qingyun put it down immediately, and said to Lixia: "I don't know, I just think it's a pity that no one picks so many dates."
Li Xia sneered: "This is the queen's property, no one else can covet it."
