Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 171 A sensation in the capital (1)
What the queen did was not harming her clan, on the contrary, she was trying to keep the Luo family alive.But she couldn't let Luoshi disappear, because she wanted to pave a way for her son to ascend the throne. With Luoshi's support, Xiao Tingxuan would not be controlled by those stubborn veterans when he ascended the throne in the future.

Ling Xihan stopped, looked up to the sky and sighed.As a woman, as a mother.Queen, she really deserves to be the most amazing woman in the world.

And what she guessed before was not wrong, the backyard of the palace is actually the harem used by the emperor to balance the court.

Now that he took this opportunity to get rid of Concubine Ning and Concubine Xun, then the Luo family behind them must also be hit.That's why Ning said to his father that he didn't care about the queen.She guessed that maybe Zhao's miscarriage should have been expected by her father.And it should be his intention to deal with the three side concubines.Otherwise, given the suggestions of many women in the palace just now, he wouldn't just come to ask her opinion.

The Zhao family represents the right minister behind her back.If the left minister has been hit, then the right minister will definitely take this opportunity to get bigger.Naturally, the queen and the emperor would not allow such a thing to happen.Therefore, the disposal of the Zhao family must have been ordered by Emperor Yuan Qing.

And the reason why she wanted to deal with these women in front of Xiao Tingxuan and Ouyang Chen.It's just because not only the queen's surname is Luo, but also the concubine of Li's family is also surnamed Luo.And according to the development of today's situation, Ling Xiqing is Xiao Tingxuan's person, and Ling Xi cherishes Ouyang Chen's person.And they had different opinions just now, one wanted to kill Ning Shi, and the other wanted to kill Xun Shi.Then it must be Xiao Tingxuan and Ouyang Chen's instigation.In other words, the Luo family is divided into two, and not all of them support the queen.After all, the queen has no real brother.Luo Wenqian, Prime Minister Zuo, was just her cousin.

However, Luo Yushuang, Princess Li, and Zuo Xiang are brothers and sisters.

But today she pushed the boat along the way to get rid of these two women, and the fight between Xiao Tingxuan and Ouyang Chen gradually became clearer.The Luo family will also break away from their struggles and save the whole family.

Thinking of this, Ling Xihan sighed again in his heart.Queen, she is really a smart woman.

She smiled wryly, if it was her, she would definitely not be able to come up with such a seamless plan.

Today, she suddenly realized that it wasn't that the emperor didn't want to take back Wuyou City, but the reason was that the empress' mother's Luo family was involved in it.

The emperor is really infatuated with the queen.

As for Zhao's child, she thought, if it wasn't Ling Xiqing's fault, it was her father's secret arrangement.

Tianhe and Qingxiang are both Ling Xiqing's people, that is, Xiao Tingxuan's people.She has not forgotten that Qingxiang is Qingman's younger sister.The reason why she dealt with Tianhe was not only to give Ling Xiyun a warning, but also to give Xiao Tingxuan a warning.Because, she really hates being dragged into a fight between them.

Unknowingly, she came to the study.Frowning slightly, hesitating whether to go in or not.

Just as she was hesitating, King Zhongyi's indifferent and deep voice came from inside.

"Is it Han'er? Come in."

Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows, his father's skill is truly unpredictable.

Without further hesitation, she pushed open the door and walked in, but there was no one inside.She raised her eyes and walked into the inner room.

King Zhongyi was standing in front of the hanging wall, looking intently at a picture of a lady on the hanging wall.The painting depicts a woman in white clothes like snow, black hair like ink, and picturesque eyebrows.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xihan was not surprised.When she came last time, this painting must have been hidden by her father.

"Father." She called lightly.

King Zhongyi looked at the woman in the painting with affectionate and focused eyes, as if he hadn't noticed it.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" His hands tremblingly stroked the woman's peerless face, his eyes were tender and painful.The woman in the painting is lifelike, as beautiful as a poem and a dream.Especially that pair of enchanting and cold phoenix eyes, which obviously had a smile on them, but there was a coldness and indifference that couldn't be hidden under those smiling eyes.And, the deep melancholy mist.

Ling Xihan looked at the painting, then at King Zhongyi, and sighed softly.

"Father..." The second elder brother Zeng was also like this, looking at the portrait of this woman, his eyes were obsessed and gentle, as if they carried the eternal and affectionate nostalgia.

Originally, she thought that the father and king could have three wives and four concubines, so the feelings for the queen might not be very deep.But after figuring out the value of these women, she understood that her father didn't love her deeply enough, but loved her too deeply.Deep enough to use other women's true feelings for him to keep his beloved's position and fulfill her happiness.

Now she finally understands what Prince Jing said in Baohua Temple back then.

Father, he is really great. His queen's constant infatuation for decades not only made her feel sad for her beautiful mother who died young, but also admired him from another angle.In this world, not many men are willing to fulfill the happiness of their beloved woman and other men, right?Not to mention, I have to do my best to help my rival in love manage the country well and avoid all future troubles for him.

She walked up to King Zhongyi, "Why bother..." Just like what Prince An asked Prince Jing back then, why bother?Knowing that it is just a distant and unrealistic dream, why bother to miss it?

King Zhongyi's eyes were dim, and he looked sideways at Ling Xihan.

"You know everything, right?" From the moment she came back from rebirth, he knew that this daughter was not a treasure.She must have used what happened today, and she has already figured out the key to it.

Ling Xihan nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"You are very smart." King Zhongyi smiled slightly, "Your mother will feel relieved that she is alive." His eyes flickered with nostalgia and guilt.

Ling Xihan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked a question.

"Father, have you ever loved my mother?" She couldn't help but find it funny as soon as the words came out, the person the father loved was the queen.

King Zhongyi was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on the woman in the portrait again.

"20 years ago, when I was injured and broke into her room, from the first time I saw her, I could no longer tolerate any woman in my heart." His eyes paused, and then drifted out of the window, his eyes were a little far away and in a trance.

"Your mother, she is a good woman, I am sorry for her." His eyes were sad, and the corners of his mouth floated bitterly.He turned a blue and white porcelain plum vase on the bookshelf next to it, and the mechanism touched, and the picture of a lady hanging on the wall was slowly covered by a white curtain, and then the bookshelf moved to completely cover it.

He turned around and said as he walked, "Actually, your mother and I have known each other for a long time, even before her." The 'she' naturally refers to the queen.

Ling Xihan didn't speak, but silently followed her father and listened quietly.
