The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 420
Back at Duke Zhen's mansion, the eldest princess called Li Ling to Luo'an Hall, and the mother and son shut the door and talked for most of the night.

Jing Shu knew that Zhao Bi was a lustful and arrogant person. In order not to cause trouble, she would shirk whenever she could at palace banquets. Today, because it was the reception banquet specially organized by Emperor Ming for Li Ling, Jing Shu followed him into the palace. But he never expected to encounter such a disaster again.

Li Ling was not there, Jing Shu was sleepless, she was leaning on the couch, when she heard the voice of Li Ling's return, she rushed into his arms.

Li Ling hugged his wife tightly, carried her to the bed, and gently comforted her: "It's all right, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Although Li Ling's actions today were out of desperation, he had no intention of falling out with the crown prince. It would be fine if Zhao Bi fell, otherwise it would be difficult for the Zhen Guo government to survive when he inherits the throne in the future.

With her keen intuition, Jing Shu felt that the eldest princess and Li Lingding had discussed some important matter.

Jingshu raised her head and asked Li Ling, "What did mother tell you?"

Li Ling replied: "My mother just saw that the prince was arrogant and rude, and she complained to me, but she didn't say anything."

Jing Shu frowned and asked, "That's all?"

Li Ling nodded, stretched out his hand to touch his wife's beautiful hair, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I, Li Ling, have gotten to where I am today by virtue of my skills, and no one can shake me. I just offended Zhao. Bi, he can't do anything to me."

Jing Shu replied sullenly: "Of course he can't take us now? I'm just worried about the future."

Li Ling comforted his wife and said, "You don't have to worry about the future. I have my own plans. Anyway, with me here, you can just feel at ease."

Li Ling's words really gave Jing Shu great comfort, she nodded to Li Ling, and replied: "Zhao Bi is really crazy, I will not enter the palace again from now on."

Li Ling nodded in agreement, and then replied: "Zhao Bi is so rampant, even if you don't enter the palace, I am worried that he will not let it go. I am often not at home, and I am worried that he will hurt you when I am not prepared. I plan to send you off tomorrow." Go out and hide for a few days."

When Jing Shu heard this, she felt even more uneasy, and she asked anxiously, "Did you hide something from me?"

Li Ling comforted her and said, "I'm thinking wildly, what can I hide from you, besides, you are so smart, even if I tell you I can't hide it."

As he spoke, he pulled his wife into his arms, coaxed her tenderly, and said, "Be obedient, just go out and hide for ten and a half months. I've made all the arrangements, and I'll send you there myself tomorrow."

Relying on the tacit understanding of living with Li Ling for many years, Jing Shu concluded that Li Ling had something to hide from her, she insisted: "I will not go anywhere, I will always be by your side, I know, you must have something to hide from me, and it is a big deal .”

Hearing this, Li Ling's arm holding Jingshu froze, he lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead, and said softly, "Be good."

Jing Shu stretched her arms back and hugged Li Ling, and asked, "What's the matter? Can you tell me, I don't know how anxious I am if you hide it from me like this."

Li Ling raised his hand to stroke Jing Shu's back, and told her, "Remember, no matter what happens, you just take care of yourself and your daughter."

When Jing Shu heard this, tears poured down her eyes. She grabbed Li Ling's lapel tightly and asked, "What happened? I beg you not to leave me."

Li Ling hugged his wife, looked at her with a smile and said, "How could I leave you and say stupid things?"

With that said, he let go of his wife and got off the bed, went to the table, poured a cup of tea, held it to his wife, gently wiped her tears, and coaxed her: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." No, you just need to live outside with Sister Bao for ten and a half months, and I will pick you up."

Jing Shu frowned, and asked, "What about Brother Xuan, won't you come with me?"

Li Ling hesitated for a moment, then replied: "I have to teach brother Xuan kung fu every day, so let him stay if there is no delay, you just take care of sister Bao."

As he said, he handed the teacup to Jing Shu: "It's getting late, I'll see you off tomorrow, and I'll take a rest after drinking this tea."

Jing Shu was very restless in her heart, she knew Li Ling's temperament, if there were no major incidents, he would not be like this, but he deliberately kept it from her, no matter how much he asked, he would not get an answer.

Jing Shu took a sip of tea, and then handed the cup to Li Ling. She looked up at Li Ling, sniffed, and made up her mind to solemnly say to him, "I know you must have something important to hide from me. If you refuse to tell me, then I won't ask any more. In short, I want you to know that I won't leave. If you insist on sending me away, then I won't talk to you anymore."

As she spoke, Li Ling in front of Jing Shu's eyes gradually became blurred, and then she fell into his arms without knowing anything.

When Jing Shu woke up, she was already in a strange room.

Shocked, she called out to Li Ling repeatedly, but the door was opened, and it was Ziyun who came in.

Jing Shu hurriedly asked: "Where is my uncle? Where did my uncle go? Where are we?"

Ziyun replied: "Last night my aunt sent us here overnight and he left. I don't know what this place is?"

Jing Shu's heart was flustered, Li Ling sent her out even after knocking her out, he must have hidden something important from her, otherwise he would never have done so.

Jing Shu stood up and asked, "Did my uncle say anything before leaving?"

Ziyun replied: "Young master only ordered that you must take good care of you, and let the slaves tell you to wait here with peace of mind."

As he said that, Ziyun also asked in confusion: "Ma'am, what happened?"

Just as he was talking, sister Bao was led into the house by Ah Mu. When the little guy saw Jing Shu, he ran over bouncingly, pulled Jing Shu and asked, "Mother, why am I not at home when I wake up?" Where is this place? Why do we come here? Where are daddy and brother?"

Jing Shu didn't have time to respond to her daughter, so she asked Zi Yun again, "Young master didn't bring Brother Xuan over?"

Ziyun replied truthfully: "Last night my uncle only hugged Sister Bao who was already asleep, and didn't bring my brother here."

Last night, Li Ling told her to let her just take care of her daughter, but now she really didn't let Brother Xuan stay by her side.

The more Jing Shu thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out.

What is Li Ling's plan?
What is he going to do?
At this time, the capital was in great chaos. On the second day, Princess Chang went to the palace to meet Emperor Ming. The two siblings talked for several hours in the Qinzheng Hall. He was demoted to King Lu.

Emperor Ming gave Zhao Bixin a house outside the palace and ordered him to move out of the East Palace within three days.

Emperor Ming's resolute measures caught Empress Cao and all civil and military officials by surprise.

Although Empress Cao had already discussed with her son the great plan of treason, she never imagined that Emperor Ming would attack their mother and son first. The chief outside the Meridian Gate could not afford to kneel, but Emperor Ming, who finally got the support of the eldest princess to depose the prince, did not waver in the slightest.
