Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 231 deep meaning
As Ling Youyao thought, the reason why Liu Hongxin took the risk to bring Yuzhu back was all in Su Lingxi's expectation.But it was also thanks to Yuzhu who was capable, able to hook Liu Hongxin's soul to death.If not, Su Lingxi would have nothing to do with him.

When Qingkui opened the door and came in, Su Lingxi was sitting in front of the desk writing something, and called her softly: "Girl."

Su Lingxi stopped writing and asked, "How?"

"As you expected, since Yuzhu returned to Beijing, Liu Hongxin has been visiting him almost every day, staying for three or four hours at a time."

Su Lingxi hooked her lips in a sneer, without concealing the hatred in her eyes, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Mrs. Wu tried her best to conceal this matter for Liu Hongxin, but in the end it was nothing. I can only blame her for giving birth to such a fool as Liu Hongxin."

Qing Kui stood at the side with low eyebrows, and reminded: "Girl, in two days it will be the day when Uncle Zhong Yi's mansion will come to hire you. Madam asked this servant to ask you what you mean."

"There is nothing to ask, just let the mother accept the dowry."

Qingkui was puzzled: "Now that Yuzhu has regained Liu Hongxin's favor, why do you still accept the dowry? As long as you tell the Queen Mother about this, then this marriage will be annulled."

A sneer curled up on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "If it's just a divorce, why should I do so much?"

"Then you want to."

Su Lingxi stood up gracefully, the tassels around her waist made a slight collision sound, but there was a hint of sternness in her seemingly gentle tone: "I want him to be ruined, and the entire Zhongyi uncle's mansion will no longer have a foothold in the capital."

Qing Kui was stunned by her eyes, thinking of Xiao Tang who was beaten to death with a random stick, she didn't dare to say another word.

Afterwards, Su Lingxi asked again: "Has there been any movement on Ling Youyao's side recently?"

Qing Kui came back to her senses, and replied: "I heard that Princess Jing went to Foguang Temple with the eldest princess a few days ago, and only returned to Beijing yesterday."

Hearing about Foguang Temple, Su Lingxi's eyes flashed unnaturally, she didn't ask any further questions, and just sent her out.After Qingkui left, she supported the chair and sat down slowly, looking at the snow-covered red plum tree outside the window, her eyes were far away and blurred, as if she saw the dusty memory that had been buried for a long time.
After the snow, the sun is slightly warm, and it seems to be melting.

Ling Youyao and Mu Xiaoxiaoyue met at Qianzhen Pavilion, and after exchanging greetings as usual, they went up to the third floor together.

In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival. Every year at this time, there will be a lantern festival, which is the most lively in the city. Naturally, Ling Youyao can't miss such a good opportunity.

Mu Xiaoxiao has no objection, she agreed to perform at Qianzhen Pavilion on the one hand to inquire about Ling Ling's news, on the other hand Ling Youyao gave too much, she was too embarrassed to refuse.

After the discussion, Mu Xiaoxiao asked Xiaojin to bring up the prepared box, and said, "I know your ancestral home is in Huaizhou, so I asked someone to bring back some Jiangnan special snacks. Although they are not expensive, I think you should would like it."

She opened the box, and there were more than a dozen kinds of exquisitely shaped pastries stacked in layers.

Ling Youyao smelled the sweet scent, and there was surprise in her eyes, "So much?"

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Although I have seen countless delicacies in the capital, I still can't forget the taste of my childhood. These pastries are all made by the old chef in Huaizhou City. Maybe It’s not as good as the royal chef in the palace, but it makes people never forget it.”

Ling Youyao can't remember clearly about her hometown in Huaizhou, but she is still very grateful to Mu Xiaoxiao for giving her such a big box of pastries.

"I used to hear my brother talk about the delicious food and fun in Huaizhou City, but I was young at that time and I don't remember anything. When I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go back to Huaizhou."

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her brows slightly, and said with a half smile: "Speaking of Huaizhou, in detail, I should be considered half of Huaizhou."

Ling Youyao hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, and then listened to her explain: "My mother didn't have any children back then, and she heard that the Qingshan Temple in Huaizhou was the most effective in seeking a child, so she went to Qingshan Temple, maybe the Buddha heard her voice , and sent me to her side."

Ling Youyao paused, as if she suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what month is your birthday?"

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have expected that she would ask such a question, so she replied, "The sixth day of September."

Hearing this answer, Ling Youyao's heart suddenly sank a little.If she remembers correctly, Lingling's birthday is on the fifth day of September, and the two are only one day apart, and what makes people more concerned is Mu Xiaoxiao's ambiguous words.

17 years ago, Master Jiuyun traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and came up with the word "Phoenix Descended from Heaven".The Chang family was overjoyed because of this, and waited to give birth in Qingshan Temple.At the same time, Mrs. Mu went to Qingshan Temple to ask for a child.It is worth noting that the phrase "delivered" in Mu Xiaoxiao's story.

Why send?
——Did Mrs. Mu get pregnant after praying to the Buddha, or did she have other meanings?
"Youyao, what are you thinking?" Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted her thoughts.

Ling Youyao looked at her slightly worried eyes, shook her head, and said in a daze: "It's okay, what's wrong?"

Mu Xiaoxiao said: "I called you a few times just now, but you didn't answer, and you still looked preoccupied, so I wanted to ask you."

"Oh, it's nothing." Ling Youyao forced a smile, "I just thought of some past events, do you still have a party tonight? Then I won't keep you, go back earlier."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't suspect anything, and after saying goodbye to her, she left.

After leaving the Qianzhen Pavilion, Xiao Jin asked, "Girl, didn't you want to ask Princess Jing about the Huaizhou Ling family? Why did you mention Madam in the end?"

"Concerning your concubine is taboo in Beijing. If you ask directly, it will definitely attract suspicion." A faint smile spread on the corner of Mu Xiaoxiao's lips, and she continued: "Youyao has always been smart, listen to me about Qingshan Temple. After that, she immediately asked about my birthday, and she must have thought of something."

What she said just now was half true and half false. She knew that Ling Ling's birthday was the fifth day of September, but the sixth day of September was not her birthday, but the day she met her mother.

After Xiaojin listened, she nodded half-understanding, "Girl, will the princess go to check your background?"

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes slowly, and said with a sigh, "I hope she can find out something."

After so many years, she shouldn't have been entangled in her life experience, but every time she thought of her mother's words before her death, she couldn't let go.

If you can find someone who is connected with your blood in this chaotic torrent, everything may become easier.
Twilight faltered, casting a crystal-clear light on the melting snow.

Ling Youyao went back to the palace with her thoughts on her mind. Although she didn't want to see Fu Mingjue, she still went to the main courtyard.When passing the garden, I saw Jiang Liu coming out of the attic to the east.

Jiang Liu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Princess, are you going to find the prince? The prince is upstairs."

Ling Youyao looked up, and sure enough, she saw a figure beside the attic.
