Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 9 Shen Qiongyu

After going home and staying for a long time, it was not until the sun was about to set that Ling Youyao reluctantly walked out of the Ling family's gate under her father's urging.

Ling Youyao bid farewell to her father and brother, but Song still did not come out.

"Princess, it's time to go." Yinzhu reminded.

Ling Youyao withdrew her gaze and got into the carriage with her skirt.

After she left, a woman poked her head out from behind the door and looked in the direction the carriage was leaving without moving.

"Ma'am, since you are concerned about the second lady, why don't you go see her off?" The one who spoke was Hongliu, the servant girl serving by Mrs. Song's side.

Song smiled with tears in her eyes: "It's great that Qingwei finally married His Royal Highness King Jing."

Hongliu sighed helplessly, Madam took the Second Miss as the Eldest Miss again.

It was the prince who brought back the young miss who was covered in blood back then. After seeing the appearance of the young lady, the madam fell ill.

The dead are gone, so are the living.

Ling Youyao closed her eyes slightly, looking preoccupied.She wanted to find out what happened back then from Mrs. Song, but she didn't even see Mrs. Song's face.

She doesn't remember many details in the book, she only knows the general idea.

It's also my fault that when she was reading, she swallowed the jujube whole, looking at ten lines at a glance, only now that she has become a book reader, only then does she know how to regret it.

The carriage drove slowly through the bustling long street, and when people saw the signs of the palace, they retreated to both sides, but a man came on horseback and drove straight away.

The girl was rustling in a red dress, her horse's hooves were trampling, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

"Stop her quickly!" Xia Cheng shouted coldly.

Seeing that the horse's hoof was about to step on the guard's face, the girl suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse's hoof was raised high, making a piercing neigh.

Xia Cheng kicked away the frightened guard under the horse's hoof.

The girl rode her horse and turned in a different direction, looked down at Xia Cheng, and sneered, "Prince Jing's Mansion, that's all."

"you"

Just as Xia Cheng was about to scold, Ling Youyao's voice came from inside the carriage: "What happened?"

"Princess Qi, someone bumped into the carriage, and the guards were not good enough, which surprised you." Xia Cheng said.

Before Ling Youyao could speak, the girl rushed to talk: "My old friend is here, isn't Princess Jing planning to get out of the car and see you?"

Yinzhu whispered to Ling Youyao: "Princess, it's Miss Shen."

The Shen family has only one young lady, Shen Xuhuai's younger sister - Shen Qiongyu.

Ling Youyao frowned, the visitor was not kind.

Shen Qiongyu was riding on the horse, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "I forgot, Miss Ling, you are no longer the Second Miss Ling who likes to follow behind me."

"Once flying on a branch, Princess Jing is so angry now!"

"Qiong Yu." Ling Youyao supported Lu Bao's hand and got out of the carriage.

Shen Qiongyu looked away in disgust when she saw her pearly body.

The close friend in the boudoir who used to talk about everything has now become an enemy who is extremely jealous when they meet.

Ling Youyao walked up to Shen Qiongyu and said calmly: "Let's talk."

"I have nothing to talk to you about!" Shen Qiongyu refused without even thinking about it.

Ling Youyao was not angry either, she continued patiently, "If you don't want to talk to me, why did you come to me today?"

"I" Shen Qiongyu choked on her.

Ling Youyao smiled slightly: "Let's go."

After a moment of stalemate, Shen Qiongyu got off his horse and walked into a tea house on the street first. When he passed by Xia Cheng, he still gave him a glare.

Xia Cheng immediately stared back, he really thought he had no temper, didn't he?

Here, the two have already sat down in the private room on the second floor.

Shen Qiongyu looked Ling Youyao up and down, and then said coldly: "King Jing is very kind to you, no wonder you let my brother down and marry into the palace."

People's hearts are worthless in front of the glory and wealth.

Ling Youyao said: "You know, I will marry to the palace because of His Majesty's gift of marriage."

"So what?" Shen Qiongyu retorted, "For you, my elder brother knew that resisting the decree is a felony, so why didn't he do it?"

"My elder brother did not hesitate to take advantage of the entire Shen family, and he wanted to do it for you, but you turned around and married into the palace! It is in vain that my elder brother showed all his sincerity to you, but it ended up like this in the end!"

Shen Qiongyu's chest heaved with anger: "Ling Youyao, if you really have the heart, you should give my brother an explanation!"

Ling Youyao was speechless by these words, she didn't know how to explain it, or couldn't explain it clearly at all.

She and Shen Xuhuai have known each other since they were young, from a yellow boy to a young man who thought that their childhood sweethearts would eventually get married, but they couldn't resist the divine will.

On that day and Jili, Shen Xuhuai personally ground a peach hairpin, wishing her a safe and smooth life.

Before the hairpin was inserted into the bun, an imperial decree came from the palace——

She watched the father-in-law hand over Minghuang's imperial edict to her father: "Master Ling, isn't he overjoyed? Why don't you thank me?"

Father's hands trembled slightly, holding the heavy imperial decree, and kowtowed to thank him.

The mother's eyes were dull, laughing and crying for a while.

She turned her head to look at Shen Xuhuai in the corridor, he was tightly holding onto the hairpin that hadn't been given away, tears welled up in his eyes until the hairpin pierced his palm
"I disagree," he said.

Then, Ling Youyao watched Shen Xuhuai take away the imperial decree, and rushed out desperately.

He ran all the way to the palace, knelt in front of the vermilion palace gate, begging one after another: "I implore Your Majesty to take back my life!"

"I implore Your Majesty to take back the order—"

Until the forehead was smashed, the palace gate was still closed.Later, it was Ding Guohou who forcibly took Shen Xuhuai back.

Ling Youyao stood under the fluttering lantern, separated by rain and fog, all of this was so unreal, until a cold voice sounded behind her suddenly brought her back to reality:
"Ling Youyao, you can only marry this king in this life."

When Jiang Liu led his troops into Beijing, he happened to see Xia Cheng and his party guarding in front of the teahouse.

He was puzzled, turned his head to Fu Mingjue and said, "My lord, it seems to be the princess in front of me."

Fu Mingjue looked up and saw that it was indeed the carriage of the palace.

When he saw the words Yipinmingju, Fu Mingjue's eyes turned cold, and he said immediately, "Let's go and have a look."

Afterwards, Fu Mingjue and Jiang Liu stopped in front of the teahouse.

Seeing Fu Mingjue, the waiter's waiter's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and the shopkeeper came out to greet him: "I see you, my lord, my lord"

Fu Mingjue interrupted him coldly: "I'm fine."

After all, he strode towards the second floor.

The shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other, speechless for a while.

After entering the back kitchen, the waiter in the shop asked in a low voice, "Could it be that we have revealed our secrets?"

"Fuck!" The shopkeeper slapped him on the head, "Didn't you see Princess Jing and Miss Shen come in together?"

"My lord is here to pick up Concubine Jing! Don't leave it there to disturb the morale of the army."

"Yes yes yes" the waiter quickly admitted his mistake.

"When the batch of ordnance leaves Beijing, we don't have to be so worried."

The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, why hasn't Lao Zhao come today?"
