Chapter 54
This was originally incompatible with etiquette, but Murong Jing was commensurate with her siblings early in the morning, which made people unable to pursue these details. Qu Lingxu didn't mind the so-called incompatibility between men and women, but felt that Murong Jing's play was really a little bit It was too much, obviously he was dragging himself to chat endlessly on the air, but now he put on a look of concern, really treating her as a three-year-old child, so coaxing?

At least after dealing with Murong Jing, Qu Lingxu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was dragging her tired body towards the Jianjia Courtyard. Unexpectedly, before she had walked a few steps, she smelled a fragrant wind, which she was all too familiar with.

It's just that Qu Fengyan appeared at this moment, what was he trying to do?
There is no need to guess, people have already come in front of them, because Xu's leg was broken, Qu Fengyan spends more than half of these days in Jinxiu Pavilion taking care of her mother-in-law. The domineering posture in the middle did not diminish at all, and she was approaching slowly, with a half-smile and said: "Sister really has a lot of friends, as soon as Mr. Leng left, you couldn't wait to hook up with the prince. Make my sister admire."

Qu Lingxu didn't have so much energy to talk about these things with Qu Fengyan, so he simply replied bluntly, "My sister's words are wrong. His Royal Highness is the crown prince appointed by the emperor, and he is the most wise and wise. Could it be that my sister thinks that His Highness is the same as the prince?" Those mortal boys are like, they can be hooked up casually?"

Slandering the current crown prince is a serious crime of disrespect, and she does not believe that Qu Fengyan dares to respond.

Qu Fengyan didn't expect Qu Lingxu to dig such a big hole for herself so easily, a trace of anger flashed in her proud eyes just now, and she couldn't help sneering: "When did I say such a thing, my sister really has sharp teeth Sharp mouth, used to turn black and white."

"What's black can't be white, and what's white can't be black. My sister has the leisure to discuss philosophical issues with my sister and me. It shows that Second Aunt's legs are getting better."

"You little..." Mrs. Xu has lost a leg, and her status in the mansion can be said to be in decline. Those servants are all used to red tops and whites, and even the second lady, Qu Fengyan, is not what she used to be. Being valued, the cost of food and clothing seems to be the same as before, but in fact it is more than a little worse. How can Qu Fengyan not get angry.

He hated Qu Lingxu so much.

"Sister, it's better to be cautious in words and deeds. If you want to be slapped by the palace rules for a while, it will be uncomfortable." Qu Lingxu interrupted Qu Fengyan with a half-smile.

Hearing this, no matter how unwilling Qu Fengyan was, he could only swallow the second half of the sentence. His concubine and concubine were like an insurmountable mountain, between the two of them, let alone Qu Fengyan now. Lingxu is already the princess of the Tian family, if she offends her, it is disrespectful to the royal family!
Looking at the back of Qu Lingxu leaving slowly, Qu Fengyan's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched together, and he didn't even notice that his long nails were embedded in his flesh. So what about the princess, she wants to see Qu Ling Xu, this little bitch can be proud for a few days!
A vicious plan was growing wildly in Qu Fengyan's heart like a weed. She knew that this plan was extremely risky, but she really didn't want to tolerate it any longer. No matter how risky it was, she would definitely do it!

Not to mention Qu Fengyan was sulking there, Qu Lingxu returned to the Jianjia Courtyard, and found that Mrs. Chen was waiting for her in the main hall. She asked many questions about what happened in the afternoon with concern. She obviously didn't believe what she said before. , Qu Lingxu had to perfunctory for a while, and finally persuaded Mrs. Chen to leave, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, let's drink a bird's nest." Yun Yi handed a delicate gold-painted porcelain cup to Qu Lingxu.

Qu Lingxu took a look at the porcelain cup, did not move the spoon, but raised his voice: "Ling Xiao, Ling Yun."

"The subordinate is here." Two black shadows floated in front of Qu Lingxu in response, and Yun Yi took a few steps back knowingly, guarding the door.

"How are you two injured?" Although Qu Lingxu's tone was light, his eyes were full of concern.

In such a fierce fight, even a master would not be completely injured.

Seeing that Qu Lingxu cared so much about him, Ling Xiao and Ling Yun felt a warm current in their seldom fluctuating hearts, and immediately said in unison: "Thank you for your concern, master, the subordinates just suffered a little skin trauma, and it's not a problem."

They have been receiving the highest intensity training in the night department since they can remember, and the frequency of injuries is higher than that of eating, so they really don't take it seriously.

"I was negligent, and I should have made some golden medicine with good effect for you." Qu Lingxu wrote down this with some guilt, and then asked with a frown: "During the fight with those assassins, did you notice What clues are there?"

Although there are eight out of ten guesses that this happened, and nine out of ten were Murong Jing's deliberate actions, but Qu Lingxuan was born with rationality, so he can't just rely on guesswork to judge things, but also need to have real evidence.

Ling Xiao and Ling Yun looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, Ling Yun answered first: "Those assassins are wearing night clothes, and there is no trace on their clothes or weapons, and they strike quickly and ruthlessly. , They should also be killers intentionally cultivated by a certain force."

"But it's different from ordinary killers." Ling Xiao added in a timely manner: "When a killer receives an order to kill, he will try his best to hit the target in the shortest time, because the longer the delay, the greater the chance of accidents. But these killers are always fighting with their subordinates, and no one is cloned to attack the carriage, which is really unbelievable."

Speaking of this, Ling Yun also added with some concern: "Master, after this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Rong Sheng Shizi already know the existence of subordinates and others, will it be detrimental to the master?"

There is no doubt that the so-called hidden guards cannot show others in the open. Now that their identities are exposed, the enemy will be prepared when they attack again, which is really not a good thing.

"Rong Sheng is only thinking of me, so he probably won't say anything. As for Murong Jing, he should think that you are all Rong Sheng's people, so you won't be suspicious." The favored daughter of the general's mansion, there will be hidden guards by her side.

Hearing Qu Lingxu's explanation, Ling Xiao Lingyun was a little relieved, and continued to ask: "Master, there are many people who are good at tracking in our night department. If you have any doubts, why not send them to investigate secretly, and they will surely clear this matter up." Find out the behind-the-scenes instigation."

Before going out, Leng Yuanxun specifically told them to protect Qu Lingxu, and anyone who was unfavorable to Qu Lingxu would not be let go.

"I'll leave this matter to you, and you don't have to investigate too carefully, just go to the end." Saying this, Qu Lingxu turned his gaze to Yunyi, "Tomorrow morning, you go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to report the case, Let’s just say that the princess has been greatly frightened, so Jing Zhaoyin must solve the case quickly.”

"Miss, didn't you ask Ling Xiao Lingyun to investigate?" Yun Yi couldn't react for a while, and blurted out in doubt.

"Ling Xiao and the others are investigating in secret, so they can't announce it to others. Naturally, if such a big incident happened, the princess must report it to the officials, otherwise others will think it's very strange." Being hunted down by so many assassins almost killed him, but he didn't say a word , How big is her heart to do such a thing.

"Your servant understands." Yun Yi suddenly realized and nodded.

"I'm tired after a day of tossing around, so go back to your room and rest." Qu Lingxu yawned and instructed.

"master……"

"I know what you want to say, isn't Leng Yuanxun still leaving a few people behind, just let them come and guard."

"Yes." Ling Xiao Lingyun agreed, and quickly disappeared into the night.

When Qu Lingxu was about to fall asleep, Murong Jing also came to Zhaoyang Palace to ask to see the queen. After listening to Murong Jing's story, the queen showed a smile of admiration on her graceful and luxurious face, "So, you are Qu Lingxu's savior."

"Not only Qu Lingxu, but also Rong Sheng." Murong Jing slowly took a sip of tea, and said proudly: "Although there is no definite evidence for the emperor's grandmother's eye disease, everyone knows that the mastermind behind the scenes must be Concubine Xu. How can I not hate in my heart, now that my son has saved Rong Sheng again, even if the emperor's grandmother and the Zhongyong Hou's mansion remain neutral, they will still be biased towards me in their hearts, if they marry Qu Lingxu smoothly, they will get the family of the General Zhen Guo's mansion If you support him, Murong Li's attempt to compete for the reserve is nothing but a dream."

There is also a very important point, Leng Yuanxun is smart, wise, and thoughtful. With his ability, it is not impossible to find out some clues in the Jiangling River embankment breach case. At that time, Murong Li... Hehe.

The queen was undoubtedly satisfied with this, she nodded with a smile and said, "In this case, you should find an opportunity to get in touch with Qu Lingxu more, and make her think that this matter was done by Murong Li."

"She ruined Concubine Xu several times, and caused Xu's leg to be broken. Murong Li can't wait to cut her into pieces, assassinate her or something, it's normal." Murong Jing sighed quietly, a little displeased. Yu said: "It's just that I didn't expect the martial arts of the dark guards around Rong Sheng to be so strong, and the sons and ministers who killed him lost seven or eight capable confidants. It's really heartbreaking."

"There is only such a grandson in the Zhongyonghou Mansion, so naturally there is no room for any mistakes." The queen caressed the peony pattern on her cuffs, and said lightly: "It is a pity to lose your confidant, but as long as you can achieve your goal of getting close to Qu Lingxu, you will be happy." It's worth it, the matter of marrying the Crown Princess must be settled before Leng Yuanxun returns to Beijing."

Under Xu Guifei's deliberate arrangement, the queen naturally knew about the extraordinary relationship between Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu, and originally wanted to use some means to settle the matter, but she did not expect Murong Jing to set up such a beautiful situation. Once it comes, there is no need to be in a hurry, after all, Qu Lingxu is extremely intelligent, if she is not willing to marry into the East Palace, she is afraid that there will be troubles in the future.

"Leng Yuanxun, what does it have to do with him?" Murong Jing frowned and asked without knowing.

"The crown princess is a treasure under one person and above ten thousand people. All the noble daughters of aristocratic families are flocking to her, but Qu Lingxu is unmoved. Don't you think it's strange at all?"
