The wife of the power minister's family

Prince Ling pursed his lips slightly, but looked at Princess Ling who looked collapsed and said nothing.

Maybe it's because I don't know what to say at the moment.

Xu Jing ignored them, looked at the soldiers who came in with Prince Ling and said, "How is the situation outside?"

One of the soldiers took a step forward, saluted, and breathed heavily: "Reporting to Mrs. Xu, the situation outside... is not good. The Jiang family sent more people than we had previously expected. Fortunately, Governor Zhang We had already deployed manpower in the dark before, and when His Highness Prince Ling came over, there were several experts around him. Otherwise, we might not be able to protect His Highness Prince Ling.

However, the Jiang family has a steady supply of manpower, and there is a tendency to continue to increase the number of helping hands. Now there are their people in every direction in Shuiyunjian. We have spent almost all our energy just to resist their attack.

Please stay in Shuiyunjian with peace of mind. If the situation is really not right, Governor Zhang will make other arrangements. "

Xu Jing frowned slightly.

At such a critical moment, General Han was seriously injured and unable to take charge of the overall situation. For them, it was equivalent to missing a big help.

But for the Jiang family, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to take away King Ling. They will definitely go out in full force to seize King Ling.

Now it is wartime again, and most of the troops from all over the country have been sent to the front line, leaving only the most basic troops to defend the states. Therefore, Zhang Governor had already borrowed troops from the surrounding states two days ago, and his strength was also reduced. Not too much.

Governor Zhang had already sent people to the capital three days ago to seek support from the imperial court, but he didn't know whether the imperial court's support could arrive in time.

After the soldiers reported the situation, they carefully opened the door of the inn again, walked out and continued to join the battle.

Xu Jing then turned her head and looked at Prince Ling and Princess Ling. The roar just now seemed to have exhausted Princess Ling's strength. She suddenly became weak and fell back to the chair. A trace of worry flashed in Prince Ling's eyes and he raised his head. He walked over and said: "Mother Concubine..."

"Don't come here!"

Princess Ling gritted her teeth and said sternly: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you coming back?! Originally... Originally, if we just persisted for a while, we would have succeeded. The people in the Jiang family would not know that you are still alive in this world, and the people in the court would not know that you are still alive in this world." , and cannot imprison your freedom...

Do you know what your coming back this time means? ! "

Prince Ling paused, looked at his mother-in-law with a very sad face, and suddenly sighed secretly: "Mrs. Xu set up a trap for me to invite you to the urn. Even if I know that there is a fraud, I can't help but come back... "

When Princess Ling heard this, her sharp and cold eyes immediately turned to Xu Jing.

At this point, Xu Jing had no intention of hiding it from them anymore. She smiled lightly and said, "In the past few days, I asked Governor Zhang to secretly spread the news around Xinzhou, saying that the murderer of Princess Ling has been caught and will be released soon. He will be escorted back to the capital for trial."

Of course, some content was deliberately added to make people feel distressed. For example, the murderer killed so many people and committed a heinous crime. One of them was Princess Ling, and she must not be able to escape the death penalty.

Princess Ling has been staying in her room for the past few days, so she doesn't know what's going on outside.

Princess Ling's eyes suddenly widened, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Is this why you came back? I said, you don't have to worry about me, I have a way to protect myself, they can't touch a hair on my head! You put your life at risk Living a good life is more important to me than anything else..."

As long as she refuses to admit guilt, what can they do to her?

At most, lock her up for the rest of her life.

But this time she went to Beijing and was imprisoned for the rest of her life. This was her end. Prince Ling smiled helplessly, as if he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth, but no word came out.

Xu Jing glanced at him, but said what was in his heart for him, "Toffee, how can you not worry His Highness Prince Ling? After all, he knows very well that the mastermind of all this is you.

Even if the possibility of the concubine pleading guilty and being punished is only one in a thousand, children would not dare to gamble, let alone..."

Xu Jing paused, and then said in a soft voice unconsciously: "Ms. Princess, are you sure that the life you want His Highness Prince Ling to live is the life he wants to live?"

If King Ling really wanted to leave, he should have left Xinzhou on the day the Man Yue Tower caught fire.

Even if he has not left New Jersey, he will not choose to throw himself into the trap just because of that news.

He could continue to hide in the dark to check the situation, and when he was sure that Princess Ling was indeed going to be convicted, it would not be too late to come out.

The game Xu Jing set up was not to test King Ling's attitude.

Now it seems that her initial feelings for Prince Ling were not wrong. The mastermind of all this was Princess Ling, and Prince Ling probably did not know about it before that, or did not agree with what Princess Ling did.

Princess Ling's eyes widened slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I did all this for his own good. Now that he is back, he will definitely regret it in the future..."

Prince Ling glanced at Princess Ling with a desolate look, shook his head slightly and said, "Concubine, please stop talking. Madam Xu, those people before... all died because of me. You are looking for someone to kill them." If it’s the murderer, it’s me.”

Princess Ling was shocked and said quickly: "Rang'er, what are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Prince Ling's voice suddenly rose, interrupting Princess Ling's words.

Lang Jun, who usually seemed gentle and gentle, suddenly burst out with such fierce momentum that even Princess Ling was shocked to the spot and speechless.

Prince Ling gave a wry smile, looked at Princess Ling and said, "Concubine, Madam Xu is right. You have never asked me what kind of life I want to live. I don't even know that you were planning for me before. So many things.”

He didn't deliberately hide the truth because he knew that hiding it would be useless, and his mother-in-law would not allow him to take all this on himself.

"I know that you had a very unhappy life as a girl, and the experience during that period even became a problem for you. I also know that you don't want me to live the same life as you, so you have been working hard since I was a child. Protect me behind you and try to let me live a pure and free life.

It's also ironic. I didn't know until I was on the way to Beijing that you had always known that the Jiang family had rebelled against you. You also knew that once the Jiang family rebelled, they would definitely drag us, mother and son, into this whirlpool. Before that, , I actually always thought that you didn’t want to associate with the Jiang family just because of what happened when you were a girl. "

Prince Ling said, raised his hand to cover his eyes in pain, and choked: "Concubine, I don't hate you, I only hate my own incompetence. Originally, I, the concubine, should be the one who protects my son." yes.

But, my concubine, I don’t want to be protected by you all my life. I can’t enjoy the so-called freedom that my concubine sacrificed herself for me with peace of mind.

Concubine, although freedom is beautiful, what I pursue has never been freedom. Concubine, let me walk with you on the next road. "(End of chapter)
