Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 81 Dark Chess Perilla (1)
Ling Xihan looked at Ling Xizhen's leaving back, the coldness in his eyes became more and more cold, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer.Sure enough, this Ling Xizhen was not a simple character.Although the words just now seem simple, they actually hide the blade.Ling Xizhen knew that she was good at medicine, so she was also familiar with poisons, so how could she not see what was in the purse that Zisu gave her?Seven step snake?Ah!Ten years ago, wasn't Xiao Minglan bitten by a seven step snake and just saved by her?Even the poison of the seven step snake can be detoxified, so why can't it smell musk?

She had never underestimated this eighth younger sister, and sure enough, she guessed right.

"Han'er!" Ling Hong came over, with concern in his eyes, patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "It's okay, let's go back."

Ling Xihan recovered from her thoughts and looked up at him. She still had some feelings for this big brother.Looking at him now, Ling Xihan couldn't help thinking.If her mother's death is really related to the princess, what should she do then?Kill the princess to avenge her mother?But in that case, the eldest brother will definitely be sad.But if she didn't kill the concubine, would her mother die so unjustly?

That's all, let nature take its course, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge.Immediately she nodded, "I'm tired after making such a fuss for a long time, so I'll go back to rest first. Brother, go back too."

After returning to Yunmengju, Ruoxue could no longer hold back and asked: "Miss, why did you let Aunt Lan go?" It's just a hand, why did the lady let her go?
Ling Xihan pursed his lips, his eyes were dark and unpredictable, and he ordered suddenly.

"Wind Shadow, Moon Shadow."

A gust of wind passed, and two figures stood in front of Ling Xihan together.

"Miss."

"Guard the ancestral hall tonight, and make sure Aunt Lan is safe."

"Yes."

After Fengying and Yueying left, Ruoxue's eyes grew more suspicious.

"Miss?"

Ling Xihan raised his head to look at Ruoyu, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Ruoyu, do you have any doubts?"

Ruoyu looked directly at Ling Xihan with clear eyes and smiled gently.

"Aunt Lan has stayed by Wangfei's side for many years, so she must know a lot of things. The reason why Miss Lan sent someone to protect her is to find out the truth about Madam's death from her."

"Smart." Ling Xihan admired her eyes, and turned her head to look at Ruoxue.

"I get it now?"

Ruoxue pursed her lips, and said in a muffled voice: "Miss, if you want to act, you have to tell Ruoxue, it made me guess wildly and make a joke out of nowhere."

Ling Xihan smiled, "You are more impulsive than careful, you should learn more from Ruoyu."

Ruoxue pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Miss, you are biased."

Ling Xihan was amused by her appearance, "Okay, miss, I'm partial, what happened?"

Ruoxue's eyes widened, and she stomped her feet angrily.

"I'm ignoring you." He said and ran out.

Ling Xihan shook his head with a smile, then restrained his smile, with a thoughtful expression, not knowing what he was thinking.When Ruoyu saw it, she tentatively asked, "Miss, do you want someone to watch over the ancestral hall?"

"No need!" Ling Xihan shook his head, very pleased with Ruoyu's carefulness.

Ruoyu frowned, "Then Zisu is not a law-abiding person. She has always been favored. If the prince punished her today, she must not be convinced. I'm afraid—"

"Afraid of what?" The corner of Ling Xihan's mouth twitched, his words tinged with mockery.

"Zisu is really smart. She reached an agreement with the princess on the front foot, and came to me on the back foot. Heh! She has a two-pronged approach. No matter which side she takes refuge in, she can be alone. It's just that she is too naive. She naively thinks that she can be honored in front of the father. Humph." She snorted softly, "In the eyes of men, women are like clothes. If they are dirty and worn out, they just need to change them. How capable does she think she is? Can she make her father fascinated by her? "

Ruoyu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard a laughing voice from the window.

"Since when did the girl know men so well?"

Ruoyu raised her eyes in astonishment, only to see the person in fluttering white clothes, with a fairy-like appearance like a rainbow, landing in front of her eyes like stepping on a flying wave, and Ruoyu was stunned in place by that moment of magnificence.Even forget the previous defense.

Ling Xihan frowned, Xiao Tingxuan?
"You're not in the palace, what are you doing here?" She winked at Ruoxue as she spoke, and Ruoxue retreated knowingly.

Xiao Tingxuan sat across from her very unceremoniously, and poured tea for himself calmly with a smile.Ling Xihan stared at him with bad eyes.

"You know what happened in the palace today." It was an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence.

Xiao Tingxuan put down his teacup silently, without speaking.He leaned back, closed his eyes, immersed in his own thoughts, and forgot everything.

In fact, Jia Taiyi entered the palace after leaving the palace, and told the queen everything that happened in Zhongyi Palace today.The queen's expression has been very calm, and there is no sign of anger on her face.Such an expression was somewhat beyond Doctor Jia's expectations.

"The Queen Mother?"

The queen's eyes were as clear as water, and she smiled faintly.

"I know, you can go back."

Doctor Jia looked at the queen, hesitated to speak, and finally withdrew.It's just that there are still regrets in his heart, and he still can't do what the prince ordered.

It wasn't until Grand Physician Jia left Longyan Palace that Biying walked in, looking at the queen sitting on the soft couch with worried eyes.

"Miss……"

The queen twitched the corners of her lips, and a trace of bitterness and sigh flashed across her eyes.

"I know he belongs to Xuan'er. He thought I would get angry, so he took my pulse logically. Hehe... It's really hard for him."

Bi Ying came over and said softly: "Your Highness is also filial, so why bother, Miss..."

The queen closed her eyes, her face was full of exhaustion, Bi Ying couldn't bear it.

"Miss, Your Highness will know sooner or later, you..."

"Then let's wait until that day." The Queen said calmly, resting her head on one hand.

Bi Ying opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, she heard the voice of the maid outside.

"See Your Majesty."

The queen suddenly opened her eyes, and a cold light flashed across her eyes.Then I heard Emperor Yuan Qing order lightly, "Let's all step down."

"Yes." After a sound of footsteps, only Emperor Yuan Qing, Empress and Bi Ying remained in the hall.

"You go down too." Emperor Yuan Qing's face was silent, and he glanced at Bi Ying.

Biying looked at the queen who was still behind her back, feeling a little worried, noticing the colder eyes of Emperor Yuan Qing, she finally walked out slowly.

Emperor Yuan Qing walked towards the queen and sighed.

"Lao'er..."

The queen closed her eyes and said lightly, "I'm tired."
