Shen Xuhuai stood quietly in the courtyard, wearing a blue robe, like a snow-covered bamboo. When he heard Ling Ling's words, the corners of his lips curved slightly.

"Can you see what's hidden inside?"

Lingling shook her head: "I only heard someone talking in that yard, and it seemed that there was a woman crying."

"No wonder Fu Mingjue wanted to kill you."

The secret that had been hidden for more than ten years was discovered by Ling Ling, who would kill her if she didn't kill her?
Lingling hurriedly said: "My lord, you must save me, the reason why I entered the palace is because of you—"

In a panic, she wanted to grab Shen Xuhuai's sleeve, but before she could touch it, she was thrown away.

A cold light flashed in Shen Xuhuai's eyes, and he said: "If you still want to live, you'd better be honest and obedient, don't even think about anything that doesn't belong to you, if I know you slander Yao'er again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lingling was startled, and asked: "Sir, what do you mean by that? Don't you even like Ling Youyao?!"

When she said the last sentence, she suddenly raised her voice, as if something that belonged to her had been snatched away by someone.

Shen Xuhuai's complexion suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "What right do you have to question? Don't forget, only I can help you now."

Lingling's face turned pale and pale, her fingers tightly tugged at the hem of the skirt, she was not reconciled, she was so jealous that she thought that Shen Xuhuai helped her because she had a good impression of her, but she didn't expect it was because of Ling Youyao!
Why do both of them like Ling Youyao?Fu Mingjue is, Shen Chao is, and Pei Ce from Jing'an Palace is also!
The evil voice screaming from the bottom of her heart almost devoured Ling Ling's last sanity.

She suddenly realized something, raised her eyes to look at the handsome man in front of her, and said with difficulty: "You like Ling Youyao, and Shen Chao, Prince Dingguo, also likes Ling Youyao, don't you?"

Shen Xuhuai's expression was as usual, and he said: "What's the use of knowing this? What you should care about now should be whether you can get out of the palace alive."

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Lingling couldn't help but say, "So you are Shen Chao?"

"So, you brought me to Beijing for Ling Youyao?"

"So what?" Shen Xuhuai admitted generously, "You don't just want to fly to Gao Zhi, but I'm helping you."

He is indeed helping Lingling, as to whether she can climb the high branch, it depends on her own good luck.

Lingling calmed down and said, "How are you going to help me?"

"I want you to stay in the palace."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Ling immediately vetoed: "No! Now that the prince has discovered me, if I continue to stay in the palace, I will die."

Shen Xuhuai glanced at her indifferently: "If you leave the palace now, you will only die faster."

Staying in the Palace, Fu Mingjue did not dare to attack her lightly, after all, His Majesty let her go to Beijing. If something happened to her in the Palace, Fu Mingjue would not be able to explain to His Majesty.

But it's different after leaving the palace.

The capital city looks peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is raging. At that time, Fu Mingjue will find an opportunity to kill Ling Ling. There will be no proof of his death.

Shen Xuhuai knew the reason, but Lingling didn't.

"But now that I'm back in the palace, the prince will definitely not let me go."

"You don't have to worry about this, he doesn't have the energy to deal with you right now." Just as Shen Xuhuai finished speaking, a person hurried in from outside the courtyard.

Wen Sheng glanced at Ling Ling, then leaned into Shen Xuhuai's ear and said, "My lord, Princess Jing is here."

Shen Xuhuai concentrated his mind, and said to Ling Ling: "You go back first, if there is anything, I will let you know."

Although Wen Sheng's voice was extremely low, Ling Ling vaguely heard the word "Princess", and immediately asked, "Are you going to see Ling Youyao?"

Shen Xuhuai glanced at her lightly: "It has nothing to do with you."

After dropping these words, he turned and left.

Lingling stared at his back with resentment and resentment, since Shen Xuhuai let her stay in the palace, then she would "well" stay in the palace.

The birthday banquet had already started, and the guests were all gathered in the front yard, but there was no one in the garden at this time.

Ling Youyao stood under the begonia tree in the courtyard, looking at the autumn scenery in the garden, her heart was full of melancholy, until she heard a familiar voice next to her ear, she suddenly came back to her senses.

"When the begonias bloomed last year, you told me that you wanted to go to Luming Mountain to catch rabbits, but the rabbits were not caught, and someone sprained their feet first."

Shen Xuhuai was talking to himself, but when he saw the face that was thinking day and night, he stopped ten steps away from her.

Last year, she was the second daughter of the Ling family. Now she is married and a wife, and she is no longer someone he can easily approach.

"My son."

Ling Youyao looked at his smiling eyebrows, her throat seemed to be blocked by something suddenly, and she couldn't say a word.

She felt guilty towards Shen Xuhuai, she didn't dare to see him, and she didn't know how to see him. The 12-year friendship disappeared once, she was not the real Ling Youyao, but she could empathize with him.

Shen Xuhuai felt a bit of bitterness in his heart when he heard her address, he looked away slightly, and landed in an unknown place.

"What do you want from me today?" His voice was very soft, as if he was suppressing something.

Ling Youyao stabilized her mind, and then explained the purpose of today's visit: "My lord, can you tell me what you want to do in bringing Ling Ling back to Beijing?"

Hearing this, Shen Xuhuai suddenly chuckled and asked, "Yao'er, did you come here for Fu Mingjue?"

"I..." Ling Youyao was stopped by him, she just wanted to know why he brought Ling Ling to Beijing, as for whether it was for Fu Mingjue, she couldn't tell.

Seeing this, Shen Xuhuai felt sore and unbearable, but he just smiled helplessly: "Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Two months ago, I found out an interesting incident. A spy came to report that the late emperor did not execute Ronggui."

"What?" Ling Youyao was shocked, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Didn't the first emperor execute Ronggui?
Then why is it rumored that Ronggui is dead? Since she is not dead, where has she been all these years?

Shen Xuhuai had expected her to be like this, and continued: "At first, I didn't believe it, but the more I checked, the more I doubted it. Until I heard that you once met a ghost in the palace, I was suspicious, so I sent someone to the palace to investigate Tried several times to no avail."

"At that time, Ling Annian was exiled, and Lingling wanted to go to Beijing again. I kissed Suizhou, brought her back, and asked her to find someone for me."

After hearing these words, Ling Youyao couldn't recover for a long time.

The fact that Mr. Rong was not dead was enough to shock her, not to mention that the "ghost" she saw in the backyard was probably Fu Mingjue's biological mother.

If this matter is true, once exposed, the Queen Mother and Fu Xiuyun will definitely not miss this opportunity to get rid of Fu Mingjue.

So what should she do?
Ling Youyao looked at Shen Xuhuai stiffly, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Will you reveal this to His Majesty?"
