The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 227 Do You Like Linghu Kong?
"Where is Linghu Kong now? Take Bengong to see him!" Zhao Shuang's expression turned cold after hearing the bad news, and she didn't plan to eat the banquet.

"General Ming got married today. General Linghu said he was a brother for many years, and he came with his sick body..." Hu Lan pointed to the outer courtyard, "It's just that he passed out from exhaustion just now, and he was accompanied by two subordinates. , resting in the ear room of the outer courtyard."

"Lead the way, I'll go and see him." Zhao Shuang looked back at the main hall, where Yang Xuan and Ming Jing were still drinking.

She decided not to tell them for the time being that today is a day of great joy, and she should not disturb everyone's mood.

The two of them walked to the outer courtyard of Ming's house and arrived in a narrow side room. Linghu Kong suddenly passed out halfway through the banquet, and now he is awake, sitting on a soft bed to breathe and rest, and the two sergeants beside him brought some Sober up tea is here.

At first glance, Zhao Shuang almost didn't recognize him.

I saw that although Linghu Kong was wearing a turquoise silk brocade robe, his cheeks were sunken, and his whole body was as skinny as a clothes hanger.

By the light on the table, Zhao Shuang saw that he had white hair protruding from both temples, and he was completely different from the high-spirited young man he used to be.

"Linghu Kong!" she asked loudly, "What's wrong with you?"

Linghukong didn't seem to want to make people worry, so he cheered up, squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Highness, my subordinate... It's just that the old wound has not healed, and I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while."

Zhao Shuangping retreated to the left and right, only Linghukong, Hulan and her were left in the ear room.

"If you don't tell the truth, you will die!" Zhao Shuang took two steps forward, stretched out two fingers to touch his chin, and took a closer look.

"Princess! Cough cough..." Linghukong suddenly coughed, and said intermittently, "I beg the princess to help...help my subordinates..."

Zhao Shuang poured his true energy on top of his head for a while, and Linghukong finally regained his composure.

"What happened to you in Long Xiaowei's prison?" Zhao Shuang took his pulse for a while, then pinched his fingers, "If I guessed right, someone took away your energy, if you don't Stop it in time, you won't live for half a year. Tell the truth!"

"Princess!" Linghukong recalled with tears in his eyes when he heard the words, "After the Marquis of Yongchang led the Xuanwu Battalion into Beijing, his subordinates were imprisoned in the Long Xiaowei Prison. The food is better than the average prisoner."

"And then?" Zhao Shuang asked.

Linghu Kong has become like this, he must have encountered evil in prison.

"Master Hou, he... also... also found a handsome man who looks like a god to accompany his subordinates..." Linghukong lowered his head remorsefully.

Needless to say, Zhao Shuang could guess what happened next.

"Is that man called Young Master Shaohua?" She slowly walked a few steps in the room.

"Exactly, this subordinate has been with him day and night, and it has been more than half a month." Linghukong seemed to be unbearable to look back, and said with a wry smile, "Who would have thought... Shaohua suddenly disappeared one day, and my health has deteriorated since then. After another half a month, it actually weakened like this..."

"Princess, there must be something wrong with Mr. Shaohua!" Hu Lan clenched her fists angrily.

"Don't worry, if he's a monster, I won't let him go." Zhao Shuang patted Hu Lan's shoulder reassuringly, then looked back at Linghukong and asked, "Do you know that Mr. Shaohua stole your spirit?" What are you going to do?"

"This subordinate doesn't know," Linghu Kong said with a heartbroken expression, as if he suddenly remembered something, "I just heard him say once that he was under the control of a big man, and he couldn't help himself."

"Princess, do you think General Linghu is like...is there any chance of salvation?" Hu Lan asked in a low voice.

"His energy has been destroyed, even if he is saved, he will...be inhumane in the future." After Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Linghu Kong coughed violently, and Hu Lan blushed.

How could Zhao Shuang fail to see it?This girl Hu Lan is obviously moved by Linghu Kong, otherwise why would she be so nervous?

"Princess, it's important to save people, other things... don't matter..." Hu Lan's voice became smaller and smaller, until it sounded like a mosquito screeching at the end.

Zhao Shuang sighed, and took out a triangular talisman paper from his sleeve, "Linghu Kong, you will sit at the place where the moonlight shines brightest later, burn this talisman paper in the incense burner, meditate overnight, and tomorrow your body will It will get better, but... the spirit that was taken away can't be recovered within three to five years, and you can only do this in the past two years."

This talisman can only prevent his body from continuing to weaken, but the spirit that was taken away before cannot be replenished overnight.

"Thank you, Princess!" Linghu Kong held the talisman paper in both hands and thanked him.

"Hulan! Come out with me, I have something to ask you!" Zhao Shuang said, and walked out the door of the side room with her hands behind her back.

Hu Lan glanced at Linghu Kong, then hurriedly followed behind.

Walking outside the ear room, there were noisy voices and toasting sounds in the courtyard, and the two stood in the brightly lit place on the veranda.

"Wang... Princess..." Hu Lan called out timidly.

"Have you taken a fancy to Linghu Kong?" Zhao Shuang thought to herself, it's really strange, the people around her have all been in pairs recently, as if they can't wait to get married.

"This subordinate... this subordinate just admires General Linghu..."

Before Hulan finished speaking, Zhao Shuang waved his hand, "Stop talking, I will save him for you, but you have to do one thing for me."

"Wangfei, please tell me." Hu Lan cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates are already Wangfei, so I hope only Wangfei will follow her lead."

"Help me catch that Mr. Shaohua and the people behind him." Zhao Shuang glanced at the depths of the night, a familiar figure came from the main courtyard at the arch, and was stopped by many generals in the courtyard to salute Toast, "Also, this matter... don't tell the prince for now."

"Princess, don't worry, even if you don't tell me, this subordinate will not let that young master Shaohua go!" Hu Lan's eyes flashed with anger, and then turned into curiosity, "It's just the princess, why didn't you report this matter to the prince?" , let the prince send someone to go?"

When it comes to arresting people in the capital city, no one is better than the prince. As long as the princess says the name of Mr. Shaohua, the prince will be able to arrest people tomorrow.

"If the prince finds out, he will naturally send someone to capture that Young Master Shaohua without waiting for a moment, but this matter should not be rushed, otherwise not only will we not be able to catch the person behind the scenes, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss." Zhao Shuang just finished speaking. , Yang Xuan had already got rid of the toasting sergeant and walked up the steps of the veranda.

"See you, my lord." Hu Lan saluted timidly, and when she saw Yang Xuan wave her hand, she ran into the ear room.

Ever since the incident happened in western Yunnan last time, Hu Lan saw Yang Xuan like a mouse seeing a cat.

"My lord." Zhao Shuang also bowed to Yang Xuan, and asked with a smile, "Why is your lord here?"

"Why did you come to the outer courtyard from the last hut?" The man in the black robe looked displeased, and then glanced curiously in the direction of the ear room, "What are you and Hu Lan talking about furtively?"

"My lord! Look, you're suspicious again." Zhao Shuang held his sleeves and smiled, "Hulan hasn't seen me for a long time, so bring me to meet her new friend in Habayashiwei."
