Ling Xinqin was hit hard and staggered, with half of her face swollen.
"You bitch, how many times have I told you, put away your stupid and vicious thoughts, and make good use of your status as the daughter of the general's palace!"
"You are so stupid and vicious. You still can't understand the situation now! You are a bastard. If this word spreads, the whole king's family will be with you and your head will be in danger!"
Blood flowed from the corner of Ling Xinqin's mouth.
She looked resentfully at the drunken and violent man in front of her.
"After a few days, I will go back to the General's Mansion to visit General Ling. What do you think you are after leaving the General's Mansion? I did not give you the position of Princess Ming just for free. If you are of no use at all,
, you don’t need to be Princess Ming anymore. Sir, you can’t get any benefits from the General’s Mansion, and they don’t care about you, right?”
Prince Ming gave Ling Xinqin an ultimatum and walked away without even looking at Ling Xinqin.
Xiaoyue, who had been hiding somewhere before, appeared again at this time.
"Princess, please go to the ice bank to get some ice for you to process. This... thing on your face is not good for others to see."
"Ah!~!!!!!Ah~!!!!!"
Ling Xinqin screamed like a madman who was locked in a small iron box and was about to suffocate. She scratched and hit her desperately trying to escape and open it, but she couldn't escape no matter what.
I can only suffocate little by little in despair.
Xiaoyue looked respectful on her face, but in reality she was indifferent and stepped back to get some ice.
Although the regime changed and the emperor changed, not all the royal family members named Changsun had a bad life.
Changsun Yunmin is an exception.
The eldest grandson, Yunmin, is a handsome person, and he also likes to shake his folding fan when he has nothing to do, and looks like a handsome young man.
Although he is the son of Emperor Jing whom Changsun Wuji and Baili Feiyue defeated, when others are afraid of Changsun Wuji and fear Changsun Wuji, the Nine Emperors Uncle Regent, even though he is also afraid, facing Changsun Wuji
This Nine Emperors Uncle is truly respected and feared from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, he is the only one who treats Changsun Wuji as a normal imperial uncle. He is different from others who tend to follow others or avoid him.
To put it bluntly, he is a person who is rare in the royal family and is transparent, not obsessed with power, and also open-minded and unrestrained.
Not long after Baili Feiyue returned to Beijing, she once lurked in the crowd and planned to assassinate Changsun Wuji's horse pulling the carriage. However, he capsized in the ditch and was drugged by an ordinary man named Yazi who used a perspiration potion.
At that time, Baili Feiyue was wearing the face and identity of the miracle doctor ‘Murong Jiu’.
In the carriage, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had long noticed the 'Miracle Doctor Murong Jiu' in the crowd, asked his eldest grandson Yunmin, who happened to be beside him, to take Baili Feiyue away who fainted.
Before Baili Feiyue's consciousness completely passed out, Changsun Yunmin pretended to say two words that deserved a beating.
Probably he first pretended to be confused about why there was a woman there, and then said to himself that some people recently gave gifts to Uncle Nine Emperors who gave them to women, and he happened to pick up a ready-made one here.
It is conceivable that this person's character is quite cynical and carefree.
Such a person, standing in front of Emperor Chengyuan's grandson Qing at this moment, is much calmer than before.
"Your Majesty, the people we sent to protect Sister Jiu'er were poisoned, kidnapped, and thrown back to the government office in Dajing..."
Although the children in his family are almost the same age as his eldest grandson Qing, according to seniority, he, his eldest grandson Qing and Jiuer are indeed siblings of the same generation.
He is still the ‘eldest brother’.
But when he looked at His Majesty's face, which was exactly the same as that of the Nine Emperors Uncle, and his enchanting purple eyes, Changsun Yunmin felt that it was too difficult for him.
It's a lot of pressure.
He missed the days when Uncle Nine Emperors and His Majesty both liked to wear masks.
"Sister Jiu'er obviously doesn't want us to get involved in the treasure map rumors..."
"I just asked you to arrange for someone to follow her and protect her. She can be discovered, so what's the use of you?"
The eldest grandson, Yunmin, is just a little behind in age.
Is Sister Jiuer an ordinary person?
He would rather face thousands of troops than compete with sister Jiuer, okay! He is very self-aware!
"Your Majesty, you also know that I have always had no ambitions and no ideas. If you hand over half of our spy network outside the big scene to me, how can I take on such a big responsibility..."
"In that case, how about you go to the northwest and become an idle prince?" The young emperor smiled slightly.
The eldest grandson Yunmin was laughed to the point of being frightened.
Don't laugh. If you have something to say, please say it!
When you smile, you look more like Uncle Nine Emperors!
"No, no, no, what I mean is that if I can't take on this kind of task, then there must be no one who can take it on!"
northwest?
How could he bear to go to a place where birds don't poop?
In case he was really sent to the northwest to open up wasteland, Changsun Yunmin quickly changed the topic that would make His Majesty happy.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Nine Emperors and Aunt Nine Emperors are only three days away from Beijing. If there is no delay on the way, according to their current itinerary, they will be able to enter the city at dusk in three days."
Changsun Qing's purple eyes, which usually showed no emotion, moved slightly in the depths.
He immediately restrained himself and said, "Yes, I understand."
Changsun Yunmin: "..." Your Majesty, if you want to be happy, then be happy!
After Changsun Yunmin went down, someone else came to report something.
"The whereabouts of Yin Xuanmo, the regent of Southern Xinjiang, have been found. Does the Lord have any instructions?"
"Let him watch in secret, don't touch him yet. We can wait until the mother-in-law comes back."
"Yes." The person who reported the report quickly retreated.
When there was no one in the palace, Sun Qing, the eldest son of Emperor Chengyuan, who was no longer looked down upon by all the civil and military officials, quickly returned to the back of the palace where he was resting.
I opened the heavy and expensive wardrobe, looked at the cabinet full of clothes, and began to choose carefully.
What should he wear on the day his mother comes back...
Three days flew by.
Ling Xue'er did not tell Ling Sheng that Baili Feiyue was coming back. Ling Xue'er was not sure whether Baili Feiyue would return to the general's mansion as soon as possible.
Ling Sheng's body did not encounter any accident or suffered any sudden injury.
Perhaps due to various things in the General's Mansion, Ling Sheng's body has deteriorated very quickly over the past year or so. It seems that he is trying to accumulate all the injuries he suffered on the battlefield and the physical damage he suffered.
Coupled with the bitter cold in the frontier, Ling Sheng's body, which was still in his prime, in just over a year, was directly inferior to that of others in their twilight years.
But he still held on. If Shangguan Xun, who was also in the border area, found out that his physical condition was not good and privately wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital, and the eldest grandson Qing in the capital issued an imperial edict to recall Ling Sheng, he would probably have hidden it from everyone.
Spend the rest of your life on the frontier.
The imperial doctors also came to see him one after another, but they found that his body was falling like a mountain and they could only support him.
When Ling Sheng is high-spirited, he looks like a Confucian general, and he doesn't look cold and hard.
Now that he has retired to recuperate in his mansion, he is unusually silent.
In other words, after many things happened in the General's Mansion, he became more and more silent.
He doesn't socialize with others and rarely talks.
Now it is difficult for him to walk on his own, so he had someone make him a pair of crutches. Every day before dawn, when soldiers in the army do their morning exercises, he would walk out of the house on crutches and walk along the patrol walls of Kyoto.
Take a morning walk.
At first, people who knew him immediately came up to express their concern when they saw his surprise.
But Ling Sheng ignored all the concerns and overtures with a blank expression. Gradually, no one came forward anymore.
Ling Xueer was worried, so naturally someone followed her quietly.
But those who followed would never dare to show up.
Therefore, when Ling Sheng accidentally fell down on his way back to the city early in the morning, the people in the dark could only endure it and did not dare to show up to help.
Ling Sheng wanted to get up with the help of crutches, but couldn't do it for a long time.
At this time, some people who didn't know him passed by and said, "Oh, this old man, are you okay?" He said and went to help Ling Sheng.
Fortunately, this time Ling Sheng did not let the young man help him up like he did to the guards in the mansion.
"My father-in-law, are you alone? I don't know where my father-in-law's home is. I think it's not very convenient for you. Can I take you back?"
"No need." Ling Sheng said coldly.
The young man was stunned and said, "But I..."
"I said no."
The young man slowly let go of his arm with some embarrassment, "No, I'm sorry. Then please be careful."
The young man walked far away and still looked back at Ling Sheng.
Helplessly, he said to the passerby next to him, "I don't know whose family this old man belongs to. He is quite stubborn."
"But it's easy for people to be like this as they get older. My grandfather was like this too. He wouldn't want us to help him if there was something he needed."
"Shh..."
The passerby quickly gestured to the honest young man and said in a low voice, "You stupid young man, you don't even know this person?"
"Ah? Do you know each other?"
Someone on the other side answered with a faint smile, "Isn't it the famous General Ling?"
The young man was stunned, General Ling?!!
He turned back in disbelief to look at the 'old man' in the distance. How was he like the General Ling whom he had heard about, who made enemies from all over the world fear him with fear?
The young man's thoughts were completely reflected on his face, and the man answered again, "Haha, it's not surprising. No matter how powerful a person is, it is hard to escape life, old age, illness, and death. What's more, this General Ling has won hundreds of battles on the battlefield, and in the palace..."
I didn’t go into details, but it was very meaningful and thought-provoking.
"Besides, a man, such a famous one, doesn't even have any roots, so he has no descendants. Naturally, he feels hopeless and lifeless."
This is not a poisonous statement.
But it's true.
In the eyes of most people, if you don't have a son but only a daughter, isn't that just cutting off the roots?
What, General Ling has a son? Isn’t it Young Master Ling Jiu?
Such people must be ill-informed!
There is a private saying that Prince Ning Ling Jiu, who betrayed Da Jing, is not the son of General Ling at all!
Rumor has it that it was the late emperor...then that and that! You all know it, so I won’t say it directly!
"You are going too far! No matter what, General Ling has made great contributions to our great scenery, and he is worthy of respect. How can you allow an idle person like you to gossip here!"
"What? It's just that we don't dare to say it openly. If you ask us what is the dirtiest place in Dajing, apart from the huts of each household, it must be General Ling's Mansion!"
"I'm just discussing the matter. Now I'm being suppressed. But how long has it been, less than two years, can we just forget about the messy things in the General's Mansion as if we all have collective amnesia?"
"I just pity him. Tsk, the General's Mansion, which used to be so arrogant, is now headed by a daughter who was the most unknown before. There are two other daughters. The one who married His Highness Prince Ming is more impressive than this head.
I’ve never heard of it. But there is a famous Miss Ling San..."
Hiss~
When the words "Miss Ling San" were mentioned, the people around who were still more or less joining in the fun secretly took a deep breath.
They all immediately pretended not to hear anything, lowered their heads and started doing their own things.
"Look at your virtues, what are you afraid of? Although Miss Ling San is his daughter, but..."
There was no gasp this time, and the air was suddenly suffocating.
Everyone looked like zombies, their eyes falling hard on the ordinary carriage that had just stopped.
There was a beautiful woman in red who had opened the curtain at some point and was smiling at the man who was talking nonsense.
There is a strange and mysterious flower embroidery on her cheek under her left eye. Not only is she not ugly, but she looks indescribably coquettish and evil. "Tell me, whose daughter is Miss Ling San?" (To be continued)
