After that night, Chen Xueer waited until very late. Ling'er asked her to go back first before she went back. Of course, Ling'er was very weird about her going back to the mountains. The little girl's explanation was to let her practice there. Listen to her
Saying this, Ling'er didn't think much about it.
Of course, on that day, Chenfeng went to court with the excuse that Ling'er woke up and begged for mercy. Mei Guo Laoquan was released. He thought that with the old man's affairs, he could catch the person who plotted to frame Ling'er, but he didn't know that there was no news at all.
Use the words of Xue'er and Ling'er to release them.
Regarding this matter, some ministers in the kingdom still disagree with Ling'er, but their attitude is no longer so tough. Of course, most of them are because of Chen Feng's power that makes them dare not speak out and only silently accept Ling'er's existence.
.
As for the ceremony for the title of queen, everyone once again tried to persuade them. It was still Old Uncle Wang who came forward to make the adjustment. They just waited for the time to come, and of course let Ling'er fully accept their identity before making a decision.
Old Uncle Wang could only persuade Chen Feng in this way to calm Chen Feng's anger. But he felt helpless in his heart. He was also very confused about Ling'er. If he said that she was not suitable for this at all, there was a reason. Because she was a human being, so she was not suitable.
The ability to control snake-shaped hairpins really makes the old man worried about the future peace of the snake world.
However, he still stood by Chen Feng. Due to such disputes, the ceremony for conferring the queen was once again in vain.
Soon it was a full moon night.
On this day, Chen Feng did not come to Lingyuan after the morning court. Instead, he was silent all day. Thinking of Chen Feng who would come every day, seeing the sky getting late, there was still no sign of him. Ling'er felt slightly worried.
"Is it weird? I always feel weird today. It seems to be much deserted all of a sudden."
There seemed to be a lot less servants around him at ordinary times. Although Ling'er had a good relationship with them on the surface, he had no news about them and felt a little weird in his heart.
Xiaoqiu and Xiaomei also asked for leave. When they were on duty, they asked two other strange girls to come and wait on her. Looking at Lingyuan, which was obviously deserted, for the first time Ling'er felt indescribably deserted and lonely.
"Miss, let's have some pastries."
The two girls, who finally got to know each other, hadn't seen each other for a day, and Ling'er felt that something was missing. Sitting alone in the pavilion, looking at the scenery in front of her, she murmured unconsciously.
The two girls who had just come to take over the shift saw her sitting there alone, and came over with concern to bring her some snacks.
"Oh, put it down. By the way, is there something going on in the palace today? Why is it so good, so many people are suddenly missing. Are you the only ones left as errands?"
Suddenly feeling a little lonely, she spoke quietly to the two women and pretended to ask them casually. In exchange for her words, the two women bowed their heads and remained silent.
"well,"
Seeing their obvious respect and alienation towards her, Ling'er was a little helpless. She sighed slightly, but still picked up the cake and ate it.
**Part of it is like this. My mood is greatly affected by the outside world. Ling'er is like, so many strange faces suddenly changed in one day, and more importantly, the close girls around me also changed. It's really a bit helpless. But I think it's good.
One day, I felt relieved.
Although it was empty, even though it felt more lonely and boring, time still passed so leisurely. Unconsciously, night fell.
"Miss, it's getting late, go to bed early."
As soon as night fell, the two girls served Ling'er for dinner and then talked to her.
"Oh, okay, you go down."
She usually goes for a walk with Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu after dinner. She rarely goes to bed so early. But with these two cold servants, she is really speechless, although she tells them every time,
She doesn't need to be so polite when speaking, and she doesn't need to be formal.
But it was useless. The two of them were still as rigid and boring. Seeing that they were about to leave, Ling'er could only sigh and said as he entered his room.
She thought it would be a normal night, but she suddenly got up and remembered that she forgot to take back the flower petals drying outside. She got up and opened the door, and saw two girls standing outside the door.
"you,……"
Suddenly seeing two women standing outside the door, Ling'er was shocked. Aren't all these servants leaving as soon as they saw their master going to rest? And they just stood there like that. When they saw her opening the door, they just
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully but said nothing.
"Miss, aren't you asleep?"
A brave girl asked her such a question.
"You guys, I just want to bring back the scented tea that was dried outside. It won't be good if it's exposed..."
Ling'er felt that something was wrong, because not only were they there at her door, but more importantly, there were figures walking around outside the window. For a moment, she felt as if they were watching her. This mentality made her feel very uncomfortable.
.Thinking about today’s weirdness, I felt like something was wrong.
Before she finished speaking, the girl hurriedly told her to clean up and left in a hurry, while the other man was still standing outside her door waiting.
Seeing them like this, Ling'er felt even more irritable and consciously wanted to go out for a walk.
"Miss, please go back."
Seeing Ling'er about to go out, the girl actually stretched out her hand to stop her. This situation made Ling'er even more sure of her thoughts.
"You, are you going to imprison me?"
He was obviously a little angry, but he didn't step forward. He just looked at the girl with cold eyes and asked.
"I don't dare, I'm afraid. It's just that the king specially ordered that the young lady go back to her room early after nightfall today and don't go out at night." Seeing her rare sternness, the girl lowered her head and said respectfully, but she still didn't give in at all.
"What happened today? Why is it so strange? And your king, he... I want to see him. Get out of the way."
Seeing her say this, Ling'er felt even more uneasy. It seemed like something was really going on, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. She asked him seriously, asking about her weirdness today. Suddenly thinking that Chen Feng didn't come to see her today, she felt even more panicked.
.Didn’t he encounter some trouble again?
As she said that, she walked out, but the girl stretched out her hand to stop her. This made Ling'er even more angry, and she looked at them with a serious face as she spoke. But the girl just stopped her, and even though she was furious, she still wouldn't let her go.
"You are bold,"
Seeing her like this, Ling'er was even more furious with hatred. Xiumei glared at her, about to get angry at that moment.
"Miss, please calm down. It's just that this is really the king's order, and we servants are just following it. There is indeed something going on in the palace today, almost under martial law. The king did all this for the safety of the miss. I hope the miss can understand
Wang’s dedication and painstaking efforts. Miss,”
The girl was just helpless, but still kept her mouth firmly closed, and raised her head boldly to look at her. She bowed her body and blocked the door, not giving in to her at all. Just when Ling'er was about to get angry again.
Another girl, who had obviously packed up the petals for her, came over. Seeing the girl rushing towards Ling'er, she quickly pulled her and knelt down in front of Ling'er. She begged and explained to Ling'er, of course.
He also kowtowed in fear and said.
"Oh, okay, I won't ask you any more questions. But what happened in the palace today? How could the martial law be enforced? It couldn't be a foreign invasion, right?"
Seeing them kowtow and beg like this, Ling'er is not a hard-hearted person to begin with. Since she said this, there must be something going on. As for what it was, she couldn't help but ask with concern and guess at the same time.
"This is nothing, it's just...well, I really can't say it, Nubei. If I do, the king will blame me. Please forgive me, Miss."
Seeing that she no longer insisted on going out, the girl was obviously relieved. However, she still concealed what was going on and said nothing. In the end, she quickly stopped talking and spoke to Ling'er. The two of them knelt in front of her and lowered their voices.
Keep your head down and make no sound.
"Oh, forget it. Since you can't say it, I won't force you. Everyone, go down. There's no need to wait at the door. I'll just go and rest."
Seeing the two girls like this, Ling'er was really helpless. These ancient people were like this. Since they had their own difficulties, she couldn't force her. She could only sigh helplessly and said to the two of them. She turned back and walked through the door again.
.Of course, I reminded them before closing the door and went back to sit by the bed.
But there was a faint worry in her heart. What happened here? The palace was under martial law. There must be some big event, and the girl was obviously on guard and hiding her appearance. She couldn't help but think more about whether this matter was really related to
She is related.
She didn't know how long she was sitting by the bed, thinking about things on her mind. Of course, most of them were between Chen Feng and her. If it were normal, she would really want to ask what happened. But Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu were not there.
, and more importantly, she can't go out at all now. Otherwise, she can find someone, Chen Xue, and she will definitely tell her.
Suddenly I heard a strange noise coming from the door.
"who?"
It was obviously the sound of someone arriving. Because when she came back at that time, she clearly heard the sound of the two girls leaving after a while. The sound was obviously not like theirs, but instead contained a sneaky sound.
The footsteps were so light, so light that it was difficult to hear them clearly unless she was too determined. This feeling made her think of a burglary or a robber. She was obviously frightened, but thinking that there were people not far away outside, she still had the courage to stand up and ask questions.
people.
"Knock knock," it was strange that no one answered outside, but there was only a slight knock on the door. The night must have been very late. This weird sound still made her palms sweat.
"Who?" He stood up and cautiously turned around to look around. When he saw the knife for peeling fruit next to him, he picked it up defensively and hid it in his sleeve and moved slowly toward the door.
There was a clear figure outside.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Ling'er asked unceremoniously through the faint candlelight, clearly seeing the figure outside.
"Ms. Long, I am Xiaoyu. You don't remember, but I used to be with you. Xiaoyu has something important to tell you. Please open the door."
The figure outside heard her shouting and asked, slightly hesitant. However, he still lowered his voice and spoke to her through the crack of the door. At the same time, he asked in a low voice.
"Well, okay, come in. Xiaoyu, what's wrong? No one is here today, and they said the palace is under martial law. What happened?"
Listening to the girl's words, Ling'er consciously thought of a person in her mind. Even the girl who usually followed Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu was actually accompanying him. Thinking that it was her, she quickly opened the door with joy. When she saw clearly that it was her, she quickly opened the door.
He pulled her in, closed the door, and then asked her eagerly.
