The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"I heard from people that the eldest princess's actions and words are indeed a bit inexplicable." Ling Xiao smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the eldest princess is confused, the ministers are not confused, and the emperor is not confused either."

"But I'm afraid that the emperor will treat you as a scapegoat in order to appease the eldest princess's anger." Zuo Xiangning advised worriedly: "No matter what the emperor does tomorrow, as long as it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, don't care too much, no matter what Let’s wait until the storm is over to discuss the matter.”

"I know." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I am now Marquis Jingyuan, an adult who is about to get married and have children. For the sake of our future, I will think twice before doing anything."

Zuo Xiangning smiled and stepped forward to hug his waist, "It's good that you know."

Ling Xiao picked her up, walked towards the inner room with a smile, and said, "I know everything."

The man's eyes were fixed on her, and he wanted to eat her in one bite.

Zuo Xiangning's face was like a peach blossom, and she could vaguely guess what he might do to her tonight.

She hugged his neck and lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at him.

As soon as Ling Xiao put her on the bed, he heard a gentle knock on the door outside.

Both of them were stunned.

Ling Xiao stood up and said, "I'll go out first, and you can sleep first."

"Well, pay attention to safety." Zuo Xiangning didn't ask any more questions.

Ling Xiao had been out for a quarter of an hour when the sound of the door opening and closing came from outside.

Zuo Xiangning opened the bed curtain and saw Bingyu walking in.

"Girl, the Marquis has to go back to the Marquis Mansion for something, so don't worry." Bingyu whispered.

Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly: "Do you know what happened?"

Bingyu shook his head, "It was Changfeng who came to see the Marquis himself."

Changfeng is Lingxiao's long-term follower. There must be something very important in the Hou Mansion, right?

She guessed that Ling Xiao might have gone back to discuss with his staff how to deal with the situation he might encounter when entering the palace tomorrow because the eldest princess made such a fuss today.

Zuo Xiangning blinked, wondering if there were any staff around Ling Xiao?

She remembered that her brother-in-law once told her that the staff of each government were all talented people, talents that could only be found but not sought. Ling Xiao was suddenly named a Marquis, and she didn't know if there were such talented people around him.

Zuo Xiangning thought of Dr. Liu Liu Qian.

Liu Qiandao is a good candidate, but it's a pity that he has stayed with the late emperor and may not give in again.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning waited in agony all day.

In the evening, Zhang Tucai hurriedly followed Bingyun into the house.

"I heard that Gu Zhiqing was dead. The eldest princess fainted from crying in the Jinluan Palace. She insisted that Gu Zhiqing was her biological son. He was forced to death by Marquis Jingyuan. She begged the emperor to make the decision. The emperor had already sent Marquis Jingyuan to death. He is temporarily detained in the Hou Mansion, and the case will be investigated by Shuntian Mansion."

Zuo Xiangning's face changed drastically.

Ling Xiao was actually detained in the Hou Mansion!

Zuo Xiangning knew that the Hou Mansion could not imprison Ling Xiao at all. In order not to worry himself, he promised to come and see him at night.

She asked the small kitchen to cook some good dishes, told Panxia to take them to the small kitchen to warm them up, and then sent everyone away, leaving only Bingyu to accompany her.

After dark, Ling Xiao arrived as expected.

He looked at Zuo Xiangning, wearing a homely plain jacket, standing by the door. When he saw himself, his face was immediately filled with joy.

She greeted him with a bright smile, as if he was a husband who had just returned home from doing errands.

"Have you eaten?" Ling Xiao held her hand, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked slightly reproachfully: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"I guess you can come, so I've been waiting for you." Zuo Xiangning smiled and brought him a wet handkerchief to wipe his hands and face.

"Next time, don't wait for me to arrive so late. What should I do if I starve my body?" Ling Xiao said with concern: "If you want me to accompany you to dinner, just let someone send me a message in advance, and I will come over early. "

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning pulled him to sit down and served him dishes, "I made these two dishes."

"Really? Then I have to try it." Ling Xiao finished eating and was full of praise.

After eating, the two sat in the west room, and Zuo Xiangning made him a pot of tea.

Ling Xiao only poured a little for her, "Drink less, it's easy to fall asleep at night."

"You can't always sleep so late, it's not good for your health." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "It's getting colder and colder. Can I help you make two winter coats?"

"That's alright." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I have a piece of fire fox skin. I'll bring it to you tomorrow and see what you can do."

"I don't need it." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "I'll tell you when I use it."

Ling Xiao looked at her, his eyes flashed, and said, "Have you heard? I am temporarily imprisoned in the Hou Mansion."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, "The emperor probably just wants to appease the eldest princess."

"Yes. In a few days, it will be fine." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "I'm just showing off in the house, you don't have to worry."

"But the eldest princess's behavior is really strange. Why did she do this?" Zuo Xiangning recalled it and said: "The eldest princess was indeed very good to Gu Zhiqing before, but then I went to the eldest princess's house twice, and I always thought It felt like she was not as cold towards Gu Zhiqing as before, and seemed to be much colder. Even when Gu Zhiqing was beaten, the eldest princess did not show any special concern. Gu Zhiqing himself should have felt something strange about the eldest princess, and was afraid that the eldest princess would believe what was said outside. Rumor has it, that’s why he does so many urgent things in a hurry.”

"When you went to the eldest princess's mansion, did you also notice that the eldest princess was strange towards Gu Zhiqing?" Ling Xiao asked thoughtfully.

"Has anyone else seen it?" Zuo Xiangning frowned.

"I've heard others say so." Ling Xiao blinked and smiled as his expression returned to normal, "What she feels like in her heart has nothing to do with us. But in the future, you must remember to stay away from the eldest princess. "

Zuo Xiangning nodded, "I know."

Ling Xiao didn't stay in Xianglanzhai for long before he was kicked back by Zuo Xiangning.

After all, it was the emperor's order. It would be even more difficult if people knew that Ling Xiao had left the palace privately and was accused of resisting the order and defying the emperor.

Ling Xiao couldn't resist her, so he could only kiss Zuo Xiangning and leave Zuo Mansion.

He stopped at the street corner and turned around to go to Zhongyuan Hou Mansion.

When Marquis Zhongyuan saw him coming, his face was as black as ink, and he had people quickly close the doors and windows and call him into the inner room of the study.

"Didn't I say that? I asked you to stay in the Marquis's residence and don't go anywhere or do anything. Why are you disobedient?" Marquis Zhongyuan said angrily: "Now, how many people in the capital are watching you secretly? What? The current emperor is not the former emperor, and he tolerates you in every possible way!"

"I'm here to ask father. You once said that the eldest princess and Gu Zhiqing are not very close to each other. How did you know?" Ling Xiao asked.

"You faked your death before. I thought it was related to Gu Zhiqing, so I bribed the people in the eldest princess's house. They told me," Marquis Zhongyuan frowned, "That's why I told you about the eldest princess's actions in the past two days. , it’s really weird.”

"Then do you know when the eldest princess had feelings for Gu Zhiqing?" Ling Xiao asked again.

"It should have been after you faked your death," said Marquis Zhongyuan: "At that time, I still doubted whether the eldest princess knew that Gu Zhiqing had done something excessive to you, so she was dissatisfied with him."

Ling Xiao counted the time secretly in his heart.

After the news of her death came out, Zuo Xiangning went to the eldest princess's house. The jade pendant that the eldest princess saw was from that time on, the eldest princess had a strange attitude toward Gu Zhiqing. In addition, the jade pendant that the eldest princess saw came back from Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou's natal family. News... an idea flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to catch it!
