Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 142: Fang Contest (1)
At this time, Prince Jing's mansion was completely deserted, singing and dancing were performed in front of the hall, the guests and hosts in the hall chatted happily, Feng Lingxue gracefully raised the wine glass at the host's seat, and drank with Chu Tianmo.

At the guest table, Chu Tianmo picked up his wine glass and took a deep look at Feng Lingxue. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that Feng Lingxue in front of him seemed to be different from before. His face was still the same, but the brilliance in his eyes was even brighter. , the faint smile blooming on the lips, looming, like a white lotus under the mist on the lake, people can't take their eyes off, and there is a heart-wrenching demeanor in their actions.

Chu Tianmo put down his wine glass and looked at Feng Lingxue: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is suffering, this is my negligence of Bei Qin."

Feng Lingxue smiled slightly: "This river is shared by the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Qin Dynasty. If there are robbers there, the Southern Dynasty is also responsible."

Chu Tianmo's eyes flashed deeply, and he said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the farmer who saved His Highness? The truth will definitely be rewarded after returning to China."

Feng Lingxue smiled and said: "When the boat sank into the water, the lonely king's head accidentally hit the ship's side, so he was in a coma. After waking up, he was sick in bed, his mind was still groggy. Later, when the guards came, he left in a hurry. That farm family, the lonely king can't remember what happened during the time he was recuperating."

Chu Tianmo nodded slightly, he naturally did not believe Feng Lingxue's words, this matter needs to be investigated.

At this time, the guards came in and reported: "Report to the lord, His Royal Highness Prince Qing is here."

Before the words were finished, loud laughter rang out from the gate of the mansion, and a tall young man walked around the screen wall to the front hall.

Feng Lingxue's eyelids drooped slightly, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, the waves in her eyes became calm, and she stood up to meet her.

King Qing walked into the front hall, saw Feng Lingxue at a glance, strode forward, took Feng Lingxue's hand enthusiastically, with a friendly smile on his face, and said loudly: "Fifth brother, we have been separated for more than a year, now We finally meet again."

After finishing speaking, he opened his arms to embrace Feng Lingxue, and patted Feng Lingxue's shoulders lightly with his big hands. Xue gently pushed King Qing away without any trace, and said with a smile: "The sixth brother is busy with affairs, why come to Xiluo when you have time?"

King Qing laughed heartily: "Brother Huang has searched for Fifth Brother on the river for two months. Although it was fruitless, he never gave up hope. I didn't expect that Fifth Brother would return to Xiluo safe and sound with his own destiny!"

The smile on Feng Lingxue's face deepened, but the bottom of her eyes became colder, "Brother Huang's kindness moved Gu very much, and I hope that the sixth brother will convey Gu's gratitude to Brother Huang on his behalf. Go back to the capital and thank the emperor," the words were full of gratitude.

King Qing smiled and said, "Fifth Brother's words seem outrageous. If Brother Huang hadn't been ill, he still wanted to come to Xiluo in person this time."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the hall. There were five people sitting in the hall. Looking at their clothes, three of them were wearing Beiqin official uniforms. Finally, King Qing's eyes fell on Chu Tianmo, his eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "This You are born with an extraordinary appearance, don’t know how to call it?”

Feng Lingxue smiled slightly, and kindly pulled King Qing to Chu Tianmo. At this time, Chu Tianmo had already stood up, and Feng Lingxue introduced, "This is the famous Prime Minister Chu in Northern Qin." Mo Yin said, "This is the lonely Sixth Emperor's younger brother."

Chu Tianmo stared at the man in front of him. He wore a purple dragon crown on his head, a purple dragon robe, a dark black cloak inlaid with gold threads, slender eyes and a hooked nose. Feeling very gloomy.Turning his deep eyes, King Qing Feng Lingyu is a well-known god of war in the Southern Dynasty. Most of the military power in the Southern Dynasty is held in his hands. His status in the Southern Dynasty is equivalent to that of Leng Junxie in the Northern Qin Dynasty, and the Southern Emperor Feng Lingyun has a lot of trust in him .

"The God of War is famous like thunder, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chu Tianmo said with a smile.

King Qing looked at Chu Tianmo's jaws stopped, and then laughed, his slender eyes were almost invisible, "I have heard about Chu Tianmo's name for a long time, and Xiao Wang is lucky enough to see him today. This trip is really worthwhile. Today we If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

In the cold night outside the window, the shadow of the candle flickered inside the window. Chu Tianmo was staring at the flickering candlelight in a daze. Suddenly, a black shadow pushed open the half-covered window and flashed in. The candlelight was extinguished by the cold wind that suddenly poured in. into darkness.

In the darkness, Chu Tianmo asked in a deep voice, "How?"

The black shadow pondered and said: "I didn't find any valuable information, but I saw Yuan Yong in the inner palace of the palace, and was later found by a man in a cloak. I wanted to follow him, but unfortunately wearing a guard uniform was too intrusive, so I had to give up. .”

Chu Tianmo pondered for a while. When Song Qingtong rescued Xue Tathagata that day, he only let Yuan Yong accompany him. Since Yuan Yong was here, it meant that Song Qingtong should also be here. No need to ask, Yuan Yong must have left the palace to rebel, and Song Qingtong knew that Yuan Yong was in danger, so she took Yuan Yong with her to send Xue Rulai out of the city. She would rather believe in the rebellious party in the palace than in herself. Thinking of how he failed in front of her, Chu Tianmo felt sad.

Shangguan Lianyue said: "We can only start with Yuanyong. My palace will secretly monitor Yuanyong. I am afraid that King Qing's visit to Xiluo is not just as simple as a visit. This person must be on guard."

Chu Tianmo nodded, and said: "This person's true identity has been sent to monitor."

In another part of Prince Jing's mansion, candlelight cast a tall figure on the wall, casting a large shadow. A thin man knelt on one knee in the shadow, and said in a low voice, "Prince Jing was sent to Bei Qin as an envoy in the name of recuperating his wounds. He lived in the Northern Qin Palace for nearly half a month, and this time the Northern Qin Emperor even sent Chu Tianmo to visit, and his subordinates feel that Prince Jing intends to collude with Northern Qin."

Feng Lingyu narrowed his eyes, opened his lips and said: "If he really wants to collude, he will do it without any trace. It is doubtful how he could have been recuperating at the farmer's house during the two months he disappeared. My king It seems that he has something to hide from the emperor."

The skinny man rolled his eyes and said, "Prince Jing was supported by someone when he came back, and he walked heavily, it seems that he was seriously injured."

Feng Lingyu stroked his chin and asked, "Is there anything unusual about his return this time?"

The skinny man reported: "I didn't find any other abnormalities, but when I came back, the Right Protector of the Li Palace followed me. There were rumors in the Li Palace that the Right Protector brought back a pregnant woman."

Feng Lingyu was pensive, and his face became more gloomy, before he said after a long time: "The right protector is the most misogynistic, this woman is probably unusual, the hidden thread buried in Xiao's mansion should come in handy."
