All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 221 My Poor Sister ([-] in [-])

Shen Lingxi followed Chu Yan, and as soon as she entered the Shoukang Palace, Xue Tuan's dead soul rushed towards her, screaming "meow", "meow" at her.

When going to the imperial mausoleum earlier, Xuetuan did not follow the queen mother out of Beijing.

Its appearance at this moment made Liu Meiren and the few dead souls who followed them all look surprised.

"What a good cat, how could he become a ghost."

"That's right, it's the first time I've seen a cat turn into a ghost in the palace for decades."

Xue Tuan didn't expect that there would be so many ghosts around Shen Lingxi, and she also "meowed" and was startled.

With its mandarin duck eyes, it looked at Shen Lingxi, called her twice, and then ran towards the main hall.

While running, she turned her head and yelled at her from time to time.

It means "follow up quickly".

It was the first time for Shen Lingxi to see Xuetuan's appearance in Shoukang Palace, and she was somewhat puzzled.

Liu Meiren and a few dead souls also noticed something strange, and hurriedly floated in.

"Xuetuan is asking us to go in, it seems that there is something wrong." She whispered to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan's phoenix eyes were slightly deep, and she quickened her pace and walked towards the main hall.

Shen Lingxi followed behind him, and as soon as he entered the palace, he saw two strangers who had never seen each other talking to the Queen Mother.

Her gaze swept across the face of the man sitting in the wooden wheelchair, and landed on the servant standing behind him with his hands tied.

At this moment, Xuetuan was standing at the servant's feet, seeing Shen Lingxi looking over, she called out "meow".

Shen Lingxi is the best at making faces, and she can tell that there is something wrong with the other party's face at a glance.

She looked at the man from head to toe, and the more she looked at him, the more familiar he looked.

Until she saw the man turn his head, a rouge birthmark the size of a finger belly was inadvertently exposed on the right side of his neck.

Her almond eyes shone.

Instantly recognized who that person was.

The former prince of Yun Kingdom, Yun Chong.

The brother she hadn't seen in a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time he not only went to Beijing, but also swaggered into the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's very courageous.

Recognizing that the servant was Yun Chong, Shen Lingxi gave Xuetuan a "understand" look.

Seeing this, Xuetuan jumped onto the Empress Dowager's lap with a "meow", huddled into a ball, and fell silent.

Liu Meiren and the dead souls all showed expressions of surprise.

"This cat is almost mature."

"It's not fast, it's just becoming fine, right?"

Xue Tuan glanced at them with a pair of mandarin duck eyes, and wagged his tail casually, with a proud look.

Let Liu Meiren and a few dead souls couldn't help but surround it, amazed.

Shen Lingxi let them make trouble, and only focused on the nobleman sitting in the wooden wheelchair in front of Yun Chong.

She knew very well that Yun Chong would never have lived safe and sound in the Great Zhou these years, if no one protected him.

Could it be that this person is the one who protected Yun Chong secretly in Da Zhou?

"Girl Lingxi, you probably haven't seen your uncle before."

Seeing that Shen Lingxi's gaze fell on Prince Rui, the Empress Dowager introduced to her with a smile, "This is Prince Rui. He grew up in front of Ai's family when he was a child. A while ago, Ai's family was not feeling well, so he was afraid that he would get sick, so he was not allowed to come into the palace."

Shen Lingxi lowered her eyes and stepped forward to salute.

Prince Rui politely returned the salute to her, and said with a smile to Chu Yan: "I was recuperating in the manor, and they said you were going to get married. I took it as a joke, but I never thought it would become true. A few years ago, you told me that you would never marry. It seems that you, the bride, must have something special to make you change your original intention so easily."

Prince Rui had a handsome appearance, gentle demeanor, full of smiles, and a kind of familiar ridicule in his tone.

Chu Yan seemed to have a very close relationship with him. In front of him, his cold eyes were a little warmer, "That's true. If it weren't for the consonance, I would definitely not have the idea of ​​getting married. I can only say that in the dark, everything is determined."

A look of surprise flashed across Wang Rui's Junya face.

He laughed, "It seems that you have really changed a lot. You have never believed in ghosts and gods, and you can say things like 'in the dark'."

Chu Yan smiled and did not deny it.

Seeing this, Prince Rui didn't say much anymore, and ordered the servants behind him to present the long brocade box on his lap to the Empress Dowager.

"My queen, my son recently got a good doctor. I heard that he was a doctor who served Da Siming in the Yunguo Medicine Palace. Since he used the needle stone for my son, my legs suddenly felt sensation. This is the thousand-year-old ginseng he dedicated to my son. The good doctor said that if people with qi deficiency and blood deficiency, cut this old ginseng into thin slices to make tea every day, it would be very beneficial. I also ask my mother to give it a try. If it works, I will ask someone to find it."

Sitting next to Chu Yan, Shen Lingxi was secretly thinking about Yun Chong's purpose of risking his life to enter the palace. Hearing these words, his almond eyes shivered slightly.

After Mother Gui took the fairy ginseng, Shen Lingxi walked forward with a smile, and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, my granddaughter-in-law has heard that the old ginseng in the Yunjiang Medicine Palace is transformed by spirits from the mountains. It is very miraculous. I wonder if I can let my daughter-in-law have a look at it?"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

Chu Yan's phoenix eyes raised slightly, he knew that Shen Lingxi would not go to see what ginseng looks like for no reason.

Then when she thought about the abnormal state of the snow ball she told him before entering the palace, after thinking about it for a while, she knew that there must be something strange in it.

He calmly looked at Prince Rui and the servants behind him.

Prince Rui didn't show anything unusual, but the servants behind him...

Chu Yan didn't see any kind of person in Beiya, and just now he didn't pay attention to this ordinary servant with no martial arts.

But now, if you take a closer look, you can see the clues.

While Chu Yan was looking at Yun Chong, Shen Lingxi had already checked the ginseng in the brocade box.

Three high-quality ginsengs, tied with red strings, were neatly placed in a brocade box.

The ginseng of such a quality is marked in the medicine palace, and Shen Lingxi's hand stroked those marks lightly, it is undoubtedly the ginseng treasured by the medicine palace.

A trace of coldness flashed across Shen Lingxi's slightly drooping eyes.

On the day Yun Kingdom was destroyed, all the members of Yao Palace were captured by the scumbag's personal guards, just to force her to go to the top of the city tower and "die for the country".

Yun Chong had time, and when he abandoned the city and fled, he could take advantage of the chaos to collect all the good things in the medicine palace.

The ginseng collected by Da Si Ming was priceless even in Yun Country back then, let alone now.

This time, Yun Chong borrowed the hand of Prince Rui to present this high-quality celestial ginseng to the Empress Dowager, presumably he planned to ask for favors in front of the Empress Dowager, to buy his dog's life.

Think beautifully.

"Sure enough, it's a thousand-year-old ginseng. It's extraordinary at first glance." Shen Lingxi praised with a smile, "It's just that although this ginseng is a great tonic, the imperial doctor has to figure out a prescription before it can be used for conditioning, especially the things from the medicine palace... My grandson heard that the chief minister rarely uses thousand-year-old ginseng to treat people."

The Queen Mother heard what she meant, and nodded in agreement, "Girl Lingxi is careful, and what she said is very true. I really have to let the imperial doctor see if the Aijia can be used. Mother Gui put away the things for now."

After speaking, he smiled at Prince Rui again, "Qilang has a heart."

Prince Rui originally planned to use these three immortal ginseng as a guide to ask for a favor for Yun Chong, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Shen Lingxi.

Whether the queen mother's body can use this fairy ginseng is still unknown.Naturally, it is not good for him to ask the queen mother to forgive Yunchong now.

I have to wait until the queen mother has used the fairy ginseng before making any plans.

Yun Chong thought with all his heart that by presenting these three celestial ginseng, his own identity would be able to clear the way in front of the queen mother, and he would also be able to have an extra layer of protection when facing Chu Yan.

Unexpectedly, the plan was ruined by the princess who appeared suddenly.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at Shen Lingxi with a hint of gloom.

Sensing Yun Chong's gaze, Shen Lingxi curled her lips slightly, closed the lid of the brocade box, and walked back to Chu Yan.

Seeing him looking over questioningly, Shen Lingxi shook her head invisibly at him, indicating that the ginseng was fine.

Chu Yan felt relieved.

Now that he has discovered that the servant is strange, he will never let them stay in Renshou Palace again.

Therefore, after a while of pleasantries, without waiting for the Queen Mother to pass on the meal, Chu Yan stood up directly, bowed to the Queen Mother and said: "Grandmother, grandson suddenly remembered that there is still something to do in the East Palace, so grandson and Lingxi will not stay for dinner."

The queen mother thought it was strange, but when she saw Shen Lingxi getting up with Chu Yan, she immediately responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's fine if you don't stay for dinner, you newlyweds should spend more time alone."

Chu Yan bowed in response, then turned to Prince Rui and said, "The emperor hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and he certainly hasn't seen how the East Palace is being repaired, why don't you go back to the East Palace with me and sit down, so that we, uncle and nephew, can catch up on the old days."

Because of Yun Chong's matter, Prince Rui originally planned to go to find him, upon hearing this, he naturally agreed with joy.

Yun Chong failed to get grace in front of the queen mother, so in order to be on the safe side, he didn't want to go to Chu Yan now.

But this time he pretended to be Prince Rui's servant, since Prince Rui agreed, he would naturally go with Prince Rui.

He originally thought that on the way to the East Palace, he could take advantage of people's unpreparedness and secretly communicate with Prince Rui to delay the plan.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yan walked with Prince Rui from the beginning to the end, chatting with Prince Rui about family matters while walking, so that Yun Chong never had a chance to speak.

Shen Lingxi walked beside Chu Yan, caught a glimpse of Yun Chong's anxious eyes out of the corner of his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and felt happy in his heart.

When the group arrived at the East Palace,

Chu Yan led Prince Rui's "master and servant" to the front hall where the discussion was held.

Chun Jun and Sheng Xie greeted him immediately.

As the most capable officer beside Chu Yan, seeing Chu Yan's eyes, he already sensed that something was wrong, silently dropped his hands and retreated to the side.

After entering the front hall, Chu Yan took Shen Lingxi's hand, walked up to the top, let the little girl sit down on the big chair, and said softly, "Sit here and don't get close to that person."

As he said that, he turned around, and the faint smile that was still warm a moment ago disappeared from the corner of his lips in an instant.

Chu Yan looked at the servants behind Prince Rui, and said in a calm and prestige voice, "Come here, let Gu take down this thief who hides his head and shows his tail behind Uncle Huang."

When Chunjun and Shengxie heard the words, they all shot together, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed towards Yun Chong who was pretending to be a servant.

No matter what, Yun Chong never expected that the new crown prince of Great Zhou would see through his disguise so quickly.

He is a man who can't do his best, at best he can be regarded as a carnivore with a heart.

With almost no effort, Sheng Xie lifted him out from behind Prince Rui.

"Ouch." In desperation, Yun Chong cried out in pain, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! His Highness Prince Rui, save me, please save me quickly!"

Prince Rui never expected, but in the blink of an eye, such an accident occurred, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Liu Lang, please show mercy, this is indeed a misunderstanding, don't hurt him."

While speaking, Chun Jun had keenly noticed that there was still a disguise on Yun Chong's face, so he directly reached out and tore off his human skin mask.

This was Shen Lingxi's first time seeing Yun Chong after six years.

It can be seen that he should have lived a good life in the past few years, there is only a lot of flesh on his face, and the light brown eyes unique to the Yun family are almost squeezed out of sight by his hairy face.

But one thing has not changed, when he faced the superior Chu Yan, his flattering expression was almost exactly the same as when he was in front of the scumbag back then.

Yun Chong knelt on the ground, and smiled flatteringly at Chu Yan, "His Royal Highness, look at me."

Pointing to his own face, "I, it's me, don't you recognize me? This is a misunderstanding, we are all family members, you must be merciful..."

"That's right, that's right." Prince Rui also warmly echoed, "Liulang, you don't know him anymore?"

Shen Lingxi was slightly surprised, and looked at Chu Yan suspiciously.

At that time, he was the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the enemy country.

Yun Chong is the prince of Yun Kingdom.

How did these two know each other?

Not only was she suspicious, Chu Yan was also very suspicious.

He was sure he had never seen this person.

But since Uncle Huang said that they knew each other, there must be a reason for the incident.

With a cold face, Chu Yan walked down from the top, stopped in front of Yun Chong, looked at him and asked, "Who are you, why does Gu recognize you? And why are you my own family?"

"Your Highness, I am Yun Xi's eldest brother. Haven't you always liked her? You even married her tablet."

He said, pointing to his own face, "The people in Yunguo Palace said that our brothers and sisters look alike. Look at me, do you remember? Don't accidentally hurt me. If you accidentally hurt me, my poor sister under the nine springs will be sad if she knows..."

When Chu Yan heard this, his eyes turned cold.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard a clear but angry voice from above: "Yun Chong, you are really shameless. Back then you watched Yun Xi being tied up on the tower by Emperor Li, and you only cared about running for your own life. Now you dare to mention her name. Do you really think that this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one knows what you did back then?"

As soon as this remark came out, Chu Yan's ink eyes flashed with surprise very quickly, and he turned his eyes to look up.

Shen Lingxi's almond eyes, which were always calm and clear, were filled with anger at this moment, and her cheeks were also flushed red with anger.

She never imagined that in the sixth year after her death, Yun Chong was still using her name to block himself from robbery.

It seems that she should settle the old accounts with Yun Chong today.

Yun Chong didn't expect that the Crown Princess, who had disturbed his good affairs just now, would say something bad about him again now.

He said angrily: "Little girl, don't think that you can be proud because you are married to His Highness. Let me tell you, if my sister is still alive, there will be no place for you to talk. Don't think that you look like my sister, so you can sow discord here. The relationship between me and my sister cannot allow others to confuse right and wrong..."
