Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 253 Security
The story of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion being caught on fire spreads all over Beijing, and what is even more interesting is that the fire not only burned down Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, but also exposed Liu Hongxin's past absurdities.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

Those who belittled Su Lingxi before began to express sympathy for her, and at the same time they did not forget to step on Liu Hongxin. Even Mrs. Wu became the object of contempt among the wives.Mrs. Wu knew she was ashamed, so she didn't even dare to leave the door, and yelled at Uncle Zhongyi all day long.

The courtyard wall of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion has not yet been repaired, the neighbor who lives next door took it as a joke at first, but as time passed, he also felt annoyed.So, I read Zhongyi Bo's book again in Chaoshang.

This time, Mrs. Wu finally calmed down.

I thought this farce would end with the divorce of the two families, but before we got the intention to dissolve the engagement, we waited for Uncle Zhongyi to tell his old age and return to his hometown.

When Ling Youyao heard about this, she was not surprised, she just said: "It is indeed a wise move for Uncle Zhongyi to do so."

Lu Bao was puzzled: "The fire was obviously deliberately set up by someone. Speaking carefully, Uncle Zhongyi is also considered a victim. Didn't His Majesty send someone to investigate the cause of the fire, and just approved the plan for Uncle Zhongyi to return to his hometown?" ?”

"It's not that your majesty doesn't want to investigate, but the queen mother doesn't want him to investigate. If she wants to investigate, she will definitely find out about Su Lingxi," Ling Youyao explained, "The queen mother has always defended the Su family, so how can people know about Su Lingxi?" Have such a big handle?"

After the fire, Yuzhu disappeared inexplicably. She thought that Yuzhu might be taken away by people from Yuguo's mansion, but she didn't expect that Yuzhu would end up in the hands of the Queen Mother.

So far there is no news of Yuzhu, Ling Youyao guesses that he is probably dead.

Yinzhu then said: "The queen mother is so defensive, so you asked Xia Cheng to tell Yuzhu the truth, was it a waste of work?"

"It's not a waste of work," and then she asked a nonsensical question, "How is Su Lingxi doing recently?"

Yin Zhu and Lu Bao looked at each other in blank dismay, and then both of their eyes fell on Jiang Liu who was beside him.

Jiang Liu was stared at by the three people, he was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Princess, what did you just say?"

Ling Youyao asked again: "What happened to Su Lingxi these days?"

"No," Jiang Liu replied, "That day, after Su Lingxi entered the palace with Duke Yu, she never came out again. My subordinates speculated that she was probably confined in the palace by the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, Ling Youyao frowned slightly: "After all, the queen mother still has a soft heart, and she is not willing to give up Su Lingxi."

Now, His Majesty has approved Uncle Zhongyi's resignation and returning to his hometown. Although there is no mention of the dissolution of the engagement from the beginning to the end, but Uncle Zhongyi's family will move out of the capital, and the marriage will naturally be voided.

The Empress Dowager kept Su Lingxi in the palace, seemingly grounded, but in fact it was to preserve her reputation.

Others did not know why the fire started, but the Empress Dowager knew it.Letting Su Lingxi stay in the palace is nothing more than wanting to maintain the reputation of Duke Yu's Mansion.When the limelight has passed, the residence of Uncle Zhongyi has long since left the capital, and the matter of retiring the engagement will be a matter of course.Even if someone had doubts about the fire at the beginning, the queen mother can find any reason to fool it.After a long time, who would care how the fire started?

It has to be said that the queen mother's move is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds, not only keeping Su Lingxi, but also retiring the marriage smoothly.

Ling Youyao put down her abacus, looked at the greenery in the courtyard, and whispered softly: "It's already February, and I don't know what's going on in the palace."

It has been half a month since Lushan destroyed the family, but there is no news from the palace.Before Fu Mingjue left Beijing, he said that Xie Yuanting had woken up, and he didn't know how long the eldest princess could keep her secret.Ling Youyao has been busy with Qianzhen Pavilion these days, but she has never paid attention to the situation of the Princess's Mansion.

Jiang Liu knew that she missed the queen, so he said, "The prince told me before leaving Beijing that if you want to visit the queen, you can go directly to the palace."

Thinking of Fu Mingjue, Ling Youyao counted the days carefully, and when she realized that he had only left for ten days, she lost her mood to settle accounts, and got up and walked out.

"It's late today, let's enter the palace tomorrow," and then told Lu Bao, "Bring your things, let's find some snacks and barbecue."

Lu Bao twitched the corners of her mouth, but reluctantly agreed, and went down to pack her things.

Jiang Liu looked at Ling Youyao's back as he went away, thoughtful, and after struggling for a while, he decided to send a letter to Fu Mingjue about what happened these days.

The spring is just right outside the Xuanguang Hall, and a large number of pink flowers are clustered together, light and graceful, and diffuse the fragrance of the courtyard.

Xie Yuanting sat on the steps, his complexion was still pale, looking at the spring scenery in the garden, he couldn't hold his breath.

Seeing him like this, the servants in the palace cautiously persuaded him: "My lord, your injury is still not healed, and the imperial doctor said that you need to lie down properly."

Xie Yuanting acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and just quietly stared at the fallen plum blossom in the courtyard, fascinated, his peach blossom eyes no longer had the vigor of the past, only an unfathomable silence remained.

Seeing this, the little eunuch said again: "My lord, should I help you in and lie down? If the empress sees you like this, she should worry again."

Hearing the queen, Xie Yuanting's calm face finally showed a wave.

He didn't know whether it was because he had been sitting for too long, or because his injury hadn't healed, but when he got up, he couldn't use any strength.

The little eunuch hurriedly supported him: "My lord, are you alright?"

Xie Yuanting gently pushed him away and said, "No problem."

At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "It took me a long time to help you suppress the poison in your body. Wouldn't it be a waste of all my hard work for you to come out at this time?"

Xie Yuanting turned around slowly, and when he saw the white clothes, he twitched his lips mockingly: "I said, I don't need your help, so why are you here?"

Mu Liuchun's calm eyes fell on his face, without any fluctuation in his tone: "I don't care whether you need it or not, all I know is that saving you is an agreement between me and Your Majesty."

Of course Xie Yuanting is aware of this ridiculous agreement, if someone else comes to save him, he may agree, but if the person in front of him saves him, he would rather die.

"My life is in my own hands. If I say I don't need your help, I don't need it." He made no secret of his alienation from Mu Liuchun, even his resistance.

From the first time he saw Mu Liuchun, Xie Yuanting knew that he was the one the eldest princess was waiting for.He doesn't care that the eldest princess only regards him as Mu Liuchun's shadow, but he can't help but care that Mu Liuchun sacrificed his life to save him.

He didn't understand why he resisted this matter so much, maybe it was because he wanted to maintain the remaining dignity, or he didn't want to see the disappointed eyes of the eldest princess.

The two stood silently, there was no trace of similarity, but it made people feel that they were inexplicably similar.

After a long time, Mu Liuchun said: "If you die, no one will avenge Lushan."

Xie Yuanting's eyes darkened slightly, he unconsciously clenched his hands under the big sleeves, gave him a cold look, and flung his sleeves into the hall.

Mu Liuchun looked at his slender figure, a layer of gloom appeared in his deep eyes.In fact, the words just now were not finished——

"If you die, there will be no one to avenge Lushan, and she will be sad."
