Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 4
That night, Xiao Lian finally fell asleep, and slept very soundly.

Xiao Lian got up early in the morning. For some reason, he felt that the corners of his mouth were sore. He pressed them with his hands, but after a while, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

Until he walked into the Sanfa Division, the corner of his mouth didn't move, he even nodded to Zhu Chong and Gao Wei who were sorting out the files for the first time: "Morning."

When Xiao Lian's room door was closed, Zhu Chong bumped his elbow to Gao Wei who was next to him with a gossipy face, and whispered, "Hey, do you think the boss is a little weird today."

Gao Wei put down the copybook in his hand, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems a bit a little bit when you say that. A few days ago, I saw that he had a stubble beard, and his eye circles were black and blue. He hurried into the palace yesterday, and he came back today. The whole person’s spirit is different.”

"That's right, that's right, I can see it too. It is said that people are in high spirits on happy occasions. Tell me, did the boss meet some happy occasions?"

"Happy event? Could it be that the boss is going to be promoted again?"

"The boss is already the chief of the Three Law Departments, where else can he be promoted?"

"That's right. Could it be that... someone wants the boss?"

"I'm just guessing, after all, the boss's age is also there."

Gao Wei couldn't believe it: "But with our leader's reputation abroad, there is no woman in the capital who dares to marry him."

Zhu Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that there is someone desperate to covet her beauty?"

"Hiss—" Gao Wei hurriedly covered Zhu Chong's mouth with his hand, "Speak carefully! If the boss hears it, you will be punished."

The conversation between the two of them was interrupted by such an interruption, and it ended without a problem.

It's just what they said, not groundless.

Everyone in the capital knows that the old loyal prince Xiao Cheng'an and his wife Kang Na both died early. The eldest son Xiao Lian was raised by the empress dowager in the palace. Wu Lue, who inherited the position of Prince Zhong after returning to Beijing two years ago, was deeply relied on by the emperor.

What's more worth mentioning is that his appearance has completely inherited the beauty of his mother, the number one beauty in the Western Regions, Kang Na, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, rich and handsome, just like a heavenly man.

Such a person should have been the most sought-after marriage partner of the noble ladies in the capital.

But the bad thing is that the most famous thing about this loyal prince is not his appearance, not his literary talent, but——killing people like hemp!
Since Xiao Lian took over the Sanfa Department, not to mention criminals, even the first-rank officials of the Daling Dynasty were in his hands.

According to rumors, because Xiao Lian had killed too many people, the bloody smell on his body could not be washed away. Just smelling the smell made people frightened.

It's no wonder that in the year of the weak crown, other princes had already married wives and had children, and Xiao Lian was still alone.

Xiao Lian naturally ignored these rumors outside and ignored them.He had no way of knowing how the two subordinates arranged themselves quietly outside the door.

Xiao Lian looked at the case in his hand, but his thoughts were a little erratic. When he thought that he now has someone who is also engaged to him, Xiao Lian was delighted and at the same time felt a little dazed.

This time, he didn't think twice like trying a case, and he didn't weigh the pros and cons. He made the decision entirely based on his own feelings.

He didn't know whether this decision was right or not, but he knew that this kind of joy from the heart could not be deceived.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lian realized that he hadn't seen his fiancée for several days. How was she doing in Renshou Palace?The imperial grandmother should treat her well, right?

Although the imperial decree has not yet been issued, the news that Prince Zhong is going to marry a wife has spread throughout the Sangong and Six Courtyards as if he has grown wings.

And the "poor" woman who was said to be married to the "Living King of Hell" by word of mouth in the palace is currently in Renshou Palace.

To say that this fate is also wonderful.In her previous life, Li Ying was unknown to the public for two years after entering the palace, and she had very little contact with the Queen Mother. It was nothing more than seeing her from a distance when she was paying her respects.

People say how kind the queen mother is, she didn't have the chance to experience it in her previous life, she never thought that she would live in the queen mother's Renshou Palace for a month in the name of serving illness in the name of being reborn once again.

In the first few days, the Empress Dowager was unavoidably a little wary of her, and only let her live in the side hall, and did not seek her for anything, but in the end it was Li Ying who took the initiative to break the barrier and asked her to feed the Empress Dowager medicine.

"Even if we go through the motions again, we still have to do what needs to be done." This is what Li Ying told the Queen Mother.

Li Ying was cautious in the palace in her previous life, she couldn't find any mistakes when she was doing the job of dressing people, and she was more considerate than the nuns around her.The queen mother had a good impression of her, and the two of them gradually became familiar with each other after coming and going.

Today, the Empress Dowager's body was rarely refreshed, and she played a game of chess with Li Ying with great interest.

On the chessboard, the black and white pieces were in an indistinguishable battle, Li Ying's slender hands dropped the black piece onto the chessboard, the Queen Mother smiled and asked, "Are you sure?"

"No regrets."

"Then Aijia will not be polite." The Queen Mother landed a white piece steadily, and the situation was reversed instantly, and the black piece lost.

Seeing this, Li Ying pretended to be surprised, then got up and bowed: "My daughter's chess skills are not good, the Queen Mother laughed at her."

The queen mother waved her hand: "Good boy, where is it? Aijia knows that you deliberately let me go to make the old lady happy."

"Queen, you seem to be in your early forties at most, how can you call yourself an old lady."

After these few days of getting along, the Empress Dowager became more and more satisfied with this little-known county magistrate's daughter.

Li Ying fed the Empress Dowager medicine, and the Empress Dowager personally supervised Li Ying to drink the medicine, so the allergies were cured within a few days, revealing her already elegant and refined appearance.Li Ying's personality is even more well-behaved and exquisite, and she is considerate and considerate in everything she does and says.

Even the chess skills are not inferior.

The Empress Dowager held Li Ying's hand lovingly: "Ying'er, we had a quick discussion in Tiyuan Hall that day, and Ai's family still had time to ask you. Putting aside what you said about the difference in family status, I just think about it based on your own feelings. Say, do you really want to marry Lian'er?"

The Queen Mother asked sincerely, but Li Ying knew that unless his mind was filled with water, he would never answer this question honestly, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted.

Li Ying smiled shyly on purpose: "The prince is handsome and extraordinary, young and promising, it's too late for the minister to be happy, how could he not?"

The queen mother looked at Li Ying more and more satisfied after hearing the words: "That's good, that's good. Lian'er, don't listen to those people outside, how can it be so scary?
When you get along with him, you will know that his heart is actually the best, but sometimes he is too tough and upright, which easily offends others.

When you are married, persuade him well, he won't listen to Aijia's words, but he will definitely listen to yours. "

Li Ying thought, if the Empress Dowager knew that he killed her whole family with his own hands in the previous life, would she still be able to say such a thing?
It's not that he's tough, he's simply a cold-blooded and ruthless executioner!

It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. At this moment, she can only pile up a hypocritical smile and promise: "My daughter will follow the Queen Mother's teachings and will serve the prince with all her heart."

I don't know what happened to the Empress Dowager today, but she seemed to think of something again and asked suddenly, "By the way, have you heard about Lian'er's parents?"

Li Ying shook his head.

"That's right, you grew up in Songyang County, so you may not know much about Beijing." The queen mother sighed and continued, "I think back then, Cheng'an and Kang Na were famous couples of gods and immortals. How many others have been disturbed."

The queen mother fell into memory, Li Ying did not interrupt.

"Lian'er's mother, Kang Na, was the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions back then. Da Ling was a powerful country, and the Shache Kingdom where she lived sent her to the capital in order to attach herself to Da Ling.

Ai Jia still remembers that palace banquet, Kang Na danced a Huxuan dance, amazed how many young men present.

The royal children in the palace flocked to him, but she fell in love with Cheng An.

Cheng An has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't lift his hands or resist. Not to mention comparing with those guys on the grassland, even the other princes in the palace looked down on him for his sick look.

Aijia also asked Kang Na at that time, what exactly did she like in Cheng An?She said it was kindness.She was used to seeing killings on the grassland since she was a child, and this was the first time she saw Cheng An, a person who was indifferent to the world and had a pure heart.

Coincidentally, Cheng An also admired Kang Na's unyielding heroism.Gradually, the two got closer and closer, and finally overcame all difficulties, got the marriage bestowed by the late emperor, and achieved a positive result.

It's a pity that God is also jealous of the marriage between these two, so Cheng An passed away at a young age, and Kang Na soon followed, leaving Lian'er alone..."

Speaking of this, the empress dowager's eyes were slightly red, and Li Ying handed her the handkerchief in a timely manner.

The queen mother wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and said mockingly: "Look at me, why are you talking about this? You must not like to hear it."

"How come, knowing these, can serve the lord better." Li Ying said so, but what she thought in her heart was "I have never had a father or a mother since I was a child, no wonder I am so cold-blooded and ruthless."

Li Ying could see that the Queen Mother had gradually opened her heart to her. Seeing that today was a good time, she couldn't waste it in vain, so she thought about it and asked: "Queen Mother, speaking of it, I haven't seen my parents and daughters for a while. My brother, I have been away from home for a few days, and I miss him a lot. I wrote a letter from home a few days ago, and I don’t know if they have received it..."

Just as the queen mother was about to speak, Nanny Xu came in.

"Queen, girl, the prince is here."

The Empress Dowager scolded with a smile: "Look, before Aijia's Renshou Palace, he rarely came here a few times a month. The sun is coming out from the west. How many days have passed since the last visit?"

Nanny Xu also smiled and replied: "Who says it's not, it's just in time for dinner, the prince is really well-intentioned."

Although these words were not addressed to Li Ying, the eyes of the two drifted to Li Ying from time to time, making her feel uncomfortable.

Don't come sooner or later, but come at such a critical time, what a disappointment.

Li Ying's disgust towards Xiao Lian grew even more.
