Mu Xuan thought she had said something nice, but she didn't expect that Ling Fei's face instantly turned pale, without any blood.
She quickly said: "Lingguo is far away from the imperial city. Don't worry, even if the plague is flying all over the sky, it can't reach us."
Can't get here? Lingfei is deeply doubtful...
Situ Chen didn't come back until midnight, looking a little tired.
Lingfei was lying on the bed without falling asleep at all. When he heard the noise, he immediately stood up, looked at Situ Chen nervously and asked, "What should I say? Does the emperor want to open the city gate?"
Situ Chen nodded
Lingfei's eyes turned red: "Your Majesty, you must not do this! You have seen how severe the epidemic is..."
Situ Chen patted her on the shoulder to calm her down and said calmly: "My father will not listen to what I say. The civil and military officials of the court thought this was a good time to win over the people and promote benevolent politics. It is completely one-sided."
Lingfei frowned and said: "Those ministers don't know how serious the epidemic is, and they think that Lingguo is far away from here and can't hinder their affairs. Who can't say good things! Why is the emperor so confused? Ningxiang can survive the epidemic,
Doesn’t he know how terrible that is!”
Situ Chen took Ling Fei's hand and said, "Do me a favor."
"What?"
"I want to go to Longming Country. The sooner the better. Help me convince Qingwei."
A trace of doubt flashed in Lingfei's eyes, and he said awkwardly: "He won't lead the way. Besides, the distant water cannot save the near fire. The epidemic has already come out. You are useless in Longming Kingdom. It is more important to convince the father first."
Situ Chen looked her in the eyes and said firmly: "How do you know that my father doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter? Maybe this is what he wants to see."
Lingfei took a breath and asked in disbelief: "What do you mean..."
A flash of extreme indignation flashed in Situ Chen's eyes, he looked at Ling Fei and said: "I am not sure, but one thing I can tell you is that as far as I know, there is only one woman Murong Quan loves most in his life, named Jiang Landi."
Jiang Landi, surnamed Jiang, given name Lan... Lingfei took a breath, looked at Situ Chen with wide eyes, and stammered: "You... you mean... it's impossible..."
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Isn't Concubine Jiang dead?"
"It was Situ Lian who said she was dead!"
"Your Majesty...how could your Majesty be so heartbroken!"
Situ Chen pressed her mouth: "Keep your voice down, you are shouting such treasonous words at the top of your lungs..."
Lingfei struggled to escape from his grasp and was speechless in horror.
"Lingfei, I must go to Longming Country to see the truth. I want to know the truth."
Lingfei pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to stroke his hair.
Situ Chen sighed, took her into his arms, and promised in a low voice: "I promise you that I will not kill your savior. I just want to know what is going on."
Lingfei stretched out her hand and hugged his waist tightly. After a cup of tea, she slowly calmed down. She straightened up, her eyes no longer panicked at the beginning. She bit her lip and said, "You swear to leave some dry orchid."
Life"
"I swear"
"Okay, I'll go find Qingwei"
Qingwei looked at Lingfei with a complex expression on his face and remained silent.
"Okay or not, please say something." Lingfei was impatient with waiting.
Qingwei rubbed his temples and said irritably: "Don't embarrass me. I'll pretend I don't know what you are going to do. I won't go tell them. I'll just tell them that my queen is kind to me and I won't betray her."
"This is not called betrayal! The empress does not want people to die. She is against using disease as a weapon, otherwise Ling and Jiang would have been destroyed by now." Lingfei lowered his voice and asked: "Who is forcing her? Murong Quan, or...
……emperor?"
Qingwei glanced at her and said expressionlessly: "Song Lingfei, don't try to trick me."
Lingfei twisted Qingwei's ears, lifted his head up, bit his lip and said, "Take me and the prince to Longming Country! Let's stop this disaster. You don't want to see the people suffer, do you?"
Qingwei raised his eyebrows: "What do the people have to do with me? The world is not mine!"
Lingfei looked at him and said: "Don't try to fool me! I haven't seen you smile since Ningxiang came back this time. You have changed a lot. You were not like this before! Are you suffering? I miss the old Qingwei so much. I
You are the only brother, you are my only relative..."
Qingwei glared at her: "You call me brother now! When did you become so well-behaved?"
Lingfei suddenly became two inches shorter, but he still insisted: "I don't care who is the master of the world, but the people are not wrong. Don't let them become victims. The only one who can stop this is the empress. The bell needs to be tied.
Lingren, the prince promised me that he would never kill Qianlan, I just want to ask her to show her kindness..."
Qingwei suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Lingfei, let's make a bet."
"What bet?"
"Since I can't make up my mind whether to help you or not, I might as well leave it to God to decide. If you win, I will take you to Longming Country. If you lose, the matter will be over."
Lingfei asked warily: "What are you betting on?"
Qingwei said generously: "You decide, I never take advantage of girls."
Lingfei had reservations about this sentence. Qingwei should never miss an opportunity to take advantage of a girl! She pursed her lips and said: "Then let's bet on riddles. I'll give you three riddles and you can guess them."
, as long as you guess one, I will lose, if you can’t guess even one, I will win.”
Qingwei frowned and said, "Is this considered a gamble?"
Lingfei glared: "Why doesn't it count as gambling? Aren't you tired of all the betting tricks in the market?"
Qingwei couldn't help but smile softly: "It's all your fault whether I'm right or not. You don't have to admit that I'm right. You think I'm a fool!"
Lingfei snorted and said, "I won't do such an immoral thing! I'll write out the question and the answer on another piece of paper. You guess. After guessing, I'll reveal the answer. If
If you think my answer is unreasonable, you can count me as a loser.
Qingwei coughed lightly: "Okay, it's up to you."
Lingfei took two pieces of paper and wrote three puzzles on one piece of paper:
A group of sheep came to a meadow. A group of wolves came to the same meadow. Douzi stabbed Baozi with a fatal blow. Qingwei's brows knitted into knots: "What kind of riddle are you talking about!"
Lingfei snorted: "Of course you can't tell the answer to the riddle at a glance, otherwise why bet? I'll give you a hint. The answer to the riddle is three kinds of food. Think about it carefully."
Qingwei looked at the piece of paper, glanced left and right, completely unwilling.
Lingfei was so nervous that he held his breath. After waiting for half a stick of incense, he pretended to be calm and said: "How about it, do you admit defeat? It's been two hours, how long do you have to wait? Don't tell me you have to guess.
It’s been half a year, so we don’t need you to lead the way, we have already found Longming Country by ourselves!”
Qingwei looked at her bitterly and said, "Damn girl, you said a cup of tea lasted two hours!"
Lingfei said reluctantly: "I will count to ten. If you don't tell me the answer to the riddle, I will reveal the answer!"
