Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 24
Ling Youyao was sleepy when she came here, and she didn't appreciate the scenery along the way. On the way back, she opened the curtain of the carriage and looked tirelessly at the green mountains in the distance.

Yinzhu looked at her several times, wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

Ling Youyao naturally knew what she was worried about.

Ling Qingwei was killed on the way back to Beijing back then. This incident dealt a great blow to the Song family. Ling Yuwei issued an order that no one should mention this incident again.

Although Ling Youyao was the person involved, she couldn't remember exactly what happened, but she only vaguely remembered the sea of ​​azaleas that she had dreamed about.

But looking at it all the way, not to mention rhododendrons, there is not even a flower.

Ling Youyao suddenly looked back at Yinzhu: "Yinzhu, do you know if there are any rhododendrons around here?"

"Rhododendron?" Yinzhu thought for a while, "I remember that there is a rhododendron on the back mountain of Foguang Temple, but it should have withered by this season."

"In Foguang Temple?" Ling Youyao was slightly taken aback.

Green Treasure answered, "Well, the azalea sea in Foguang Temple is well-known in the capital. Every year when the flowers bloom, many wives and ladies like to go there to enjoy the flowers."

Ling Youyao looked in the direction of Foguang Temple and fell into deep thought.

Will the sea of ​​rhododendrons in her dream be in Foguang Temple?

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, it was almost You hour.

Just about to enter the city, the city guards stopped him: "The city is under martial law, and all people entering the city must be inspected."

Xia Cheng frowned and asked, "Why is martial law suddenly?" He was fine when he left the city in the morning.

The guarding soldiers took a look at him, seeing that he was wearing the Xuanyu Token on his waist, and the carriage behind him was also gorgeous and exquisite, so he felt a little more thoughtful.

"The criminal escaped, and I was ordered to check all the people entering and leaving the capital."

Hearing this, Xia Cheng pointed to the carriage: "The one sitting in it is Princess Jing, so there is no need to check it?"

"This"

The man hesitated. He had heard of King Jing's name, but he also followed orders. In case of any accident, he, a mere city guard, would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Xia Cheng added: "My concubine just came back from Foguang Temple, and she didn't meet anyone else along the way, so even if the prisoner wanted to hide, he wouldn't hide in the carriage of the palace."

At this time, a discordant voice suddenly came in: "This is not sure!"

Xia Cheng looked up, and saw a tall man in armor walking towards him, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a bit of arrogance in his eyes.

The person who came was Zhou Su, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

In fact, the Zhou family doesn't have much power in Beijing, but they have an elder sister who is quite loved by His Majesty in the palace—Concubine Zhou Shu.It was precisely because of having such a sister that Zhou Su was able to take the position of commander of the five cities.

However, why did Zhou Su form a relationship with Fu Mingjue?
——Because Zhou Su's younger sister likes Fu Mingjue, but Fu Mingjue doesn't like her.

Zhou Peng originally wanted to rely on his sister's relationship to ask His Majesty to promise her to King Jing, but before His Majesty agreed, Fu Mingjue had someone throw Zhou Peng into the moat, and said: "If you are not clear-headed, just Go wash your brain."

How could a little girl who had just reached her age suffer such humiliation, she fainted on the spot, and her marriage was delayed because of this.

Therefore, Zhou Su completely hated Fu Mingjue.

Now that he had such a good opportunity, he had to vent his anger on his sister's behalf.

When Xia Cheng heard this, his face turned cold: "I advise you to keep your mouth clean!"

Zhou Su sneered: "What did I say? If Princess Jing is innocent, why didn't she dare to get out of the car and let my people check?"

"Just now the wife of the Minister of Taichang Temple also entered the city after being inspected. Could it be that just because she is Princess Jing, can she ignore His Majesty's will?"

"Zhou Su, you!" Xia Cheng glared at him angrily.

If such a big hat is buckled, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, it will inevitably lead to another round of suspicion for the prince.

Zhou Su shifted his gaze to the carriage, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Even if King Jing has His Majesty's trust, he can't despise the imperial decree, right? Those who don't know think that Fu Mingjue is sitting in that treasure hall!"

"Master Zhou." A crisp voice sounded.

With Yinzhu's support, Ling Youyao slowly got off the carriage.

Zhou Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the petite figure, with black eyebrows gathered, temples and cheeks, and a pair of bright eyes showing a trace of coldness, and his gaze was directed at him, which made Zhou Su a little flustered.

Concubine Jing seldom shows up in front of people, and what people talk about most is the similarity between Concubine Jing and her sister Ling Qingwei.

Seeing her now, Zhou Su actually felt that his sister was indeed inferior to Princess Jing.

Ling Youyao said unhurriedly: "Master Zhou, as an official of the imperial court, should follow His Majesty's will."

Hearing this, Zhou Su's eyes flickered with sarcasm: "It's still the princess who knows the truth."

"But—" Ling Youyao's voice changed, "Master Zhou, don't forget, you are just a little commander, and the prince is His Majesty's brother, so how can you let him talk about it?"

"You..." Zhou Su wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"As a courtier, you should do your duty as a courtier. It is considered disrespectful for you to call the prince's name directly, and it is considered inappropriate to provoke the relationship between your majesty and the prince."

"Master Zhou, what are your intentions?" Ling Youyao asked coldly.

Seeing this scene, the accompanying guards of the palace were so excited that they couldn't wait to call out three times "Wangfei is mighty".

Zhou Su was so shocked by Ling Youyao that he was speechless, but she was just a little girl who had just reached the age of Ji, which made him feel flustered.

Ling Youyao didn't give him a chance to breathe: "Your Excellency Zhou has to weigh the importance of what you say next time, it won't be good if you hurt your family."

This is a blatant threat.

But Zhou Su couldn't refute.

He was indeed impulsive just now. He thought that Ling Youyao was just a little girl, so he would not dare to fight him hard, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful.

Ling Youyao had been in a bad mood for the past two days. Not only did she get angry with Fu Mingjue, but she also ran into Su Lingxi. Who would have thought that Zhou Su would hit the gun.

Isn't this a punching bag?
Xia Cheng had never seen Ling Youyao's eloquence before, so he was startled for a long time.

"What are you doing here?"

A group of people came out from the city gate, and the leader was Fu Mingjue.

"My lord!" Xia Cheng rushed over in surprise.

When Ling Youyao saw Fu Mingjue, her face was a little unnatural, and she didn't know how much he had heard. If she heard everything, wouldn't her image collapse?
Fu Mingjue was riding a green-maned horse, and he was dressed in black clothes to make him look stern. He looked at Ling Youyao, and the chill in his eyes dissipated a little.

Ling Youyao put on a smiling face, walked up to Fu Mingjue, raised her head and asked, "My lord, are you here to pick me up?"

When the people around heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears: Isn't it because of Ling Qingwei that King Jing married Miss Ling Er?

Listening to this now, why do you feel that King Jing seems to care about Ling Youyao?
Fu Mingjue raised his eyebrows slightly, and generously admitted: "Yes."
