Chapter 25
Capital, Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

King Qi Murongyan put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, I heard that the young master is going to Yangzhou, but the prince actually agreed. The prince said that he will ensure the marriage between your son and Shen Yinger." Be sure, seeing that the wedding is approaching, won't something happen to your young master?"

King Qi wanted to win over Old General Shen, and Duke Ning turned to King Qi. There is nothing stronger than an in-law relationship between the two families.It was King Qi's intention to marry Hou Fangqing and the granddaughter of Old General Shen.

Ning Guogong Hou Yu bowed and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, my son is the only blood of my Marquis Mansion, and his marriage to Shen Yinger was bestowed by the Holy Majesty himself, he does not have the courage to dare to resist the order. Let me go now, my son." Yangzhou is to check on Rongwei General Jiang Ling, I heard that he has gone to Yangzhou since he returned to the capital, and he has been there for more than a month, maybe he is planning something."

Murong Yan frowned, played with the celadon cloud pattern teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "He has been investigating the case of Grand Master Qin's father and son before, and he must have a lot of evidence in his hands. If he finds out something Come on, that would be a great disadvantage to this king."

Murong Yan sneered, and said again: "That bitch Yun Xixi wants Jiang Ling to marry her niece, and wants to win over this powerful general. If Murong Jin gets Jiang Ling's help, then it will be even more It is like a tiger with wings added, if he becomes the emperor in the future, then the Duke of the country will be in great trouble."

Hou Yu said "yes" again and again, frowning. He never thought that the kid from the Jiang family would be so capable all these years, and he would become a high-ranking general. Zheng Nong, if he falls to King Chen, it will be difficult for King Qi to seize the heir apparent.

Murong Yan put down the cup in his hand, his eyes became fierce, "Are you sure Qin Zhen and Qin Luan are dead? Did you send someone to search for their bodies under the cliff?"

Such a big fire allowed the two brothers and sisters to escape by luck, leaving these two disasters in vain.

Hou Yu said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the brothers and sisters fell off the cliff, and they must have been smashed to pieces. Although I couldn't find the bodies, but there are wolves infested nearby, their bodies must have entered the belly of wild wolves."

...

After getting off the boat, Su Mei felt that she was alive again.

When she came to the capital, she could look for an opportunity to find her relatives with the pear flower jade pendant. The capital was the only chance for her to find her family. This was the reason why she came to the capital even if she did not hesitate to lose her innocence to serve Jiang Ling. .

After entering the city, Jiang Ling ordered Mu Feng to go to a tailor's shop to buy a men's suit. Su Mei could finally change out of Jiang Ling's loose robe and put on this rather suitable men's suit.

The capital city is much colder than Yangzhou city, and the snow covered the ground in a thick layer. She was wearing a blue embroidered gown, a moon-white fox fur cloak, without any makeup, her lips were still red and her teeth were white, and her face was beautiful. It is a bit charming, but there is a kind of pure beauty of hibiscus coming out of clear water.

A gust of cold wind blew, she gathered the fox fur cloak on her body, wrapped herself tightly, the carriage stopped slowly, Jiang Ling came in with a bowl of hot porridge, "It's cold in the capital, drink a bowl of hot porridge to warm your body."

Su Mei bent her eyes, took the hot porridge in Jiang Ling's hand with a smile, drank it in a small sip, and said: "Thank you, Lord."

It was not easy to get a bowl of hot porridge on this journey. Jiang Ling ordered people to prepare this bowl of hot porridge on the boat. When they got off the boat, they simmered it over a low fire, just for Su Mei to drink it. My body can be warmer.

This journey was in a hurry, and there was no charcoal basin on the carriage. Looking at Su Mei's red nose and eye corners, Jiang Ling held Su Mei's hand in her hand, and said with a frown: It's so cold!"

The warmth from Jiang Ling's palm came, Su Mei sat next to Jiang Ling, and could feel the warmth from his body.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and Hou Fangqing, who was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, came riding in the snow. Hou Fangqing reined in the horse and stopped. He saw Mu Feng from a distance, and he knew it was Jiang Ling's carriage, so he said to him Mu Feng folded his sleeves and bowed, "Brother Jiang is in the carriage?"

Jiang Ling's face changed when he heard the sound. Although he and Hou Fangqing were friends when they were young, Hou Fangqing had a marriage contract with Qin Zhen and almost took Qin Zhen away. When he saw Hou Fangqing, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.

He nervously hid Su Mei behind him, and then instructed: "Stay in the car and don't come out."

Even Su Mei noticed that Jiang Ling's expression changed, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

When Jiang Ling got out of the carriage, she looked out from the gap in the curtain, and saw a man wearing a brocade robe embroidered with moon-white clouds, with a jade crown and hair, and a face like a crown jade. Underneath, the eyebrows and eyes are not like Jiang Ling's, which seems to be shrouded in ice all the year round, and his smile is like a spring breeze blowing on his face, like the scorching sun in winter, and the first snow on the top of a mountain.

It's just that his face looked a little pale, more like he was still recovering from a serious illness.

Jiang Ling frowned, and said, "I don't know what the little prince wants from me?"

Even the address is so polite, I'm afraid it's because of his previous marriage contract with Qin Zhen, which has already made Jiang Ling unhappy.

But Qin Zhen is also his sweetheart, and he still has a marriage contract with him, so he definitely has no reason to hand over his fiancée to others.

He originally rushed to Yangzhou for Qin Zhen, and when he heard the news of Jiang Ling's return to Beijing, he decided to come and have a look first. If Jiang Ling brought Qin Zhen to Beijing, he would definitely take Qin Zhen from Jiang Ling's hands .

Qin Zhen is his unmarried wife, although the marriage certificate has been burned by his father.

He looked at the carriage beside Jiang Ling, and said with a smile, "I heard that Brother Jiang went to Yangzhou, but who is Brother Jiang looking for?"

Jiang Ling frowned, her expression became more and more displeased, and she said coldly, "It's not for anyone, it's just to investigate an old case."

Hou Fangqing covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, his pale face was stained with an unusual blush, he said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Jiang bought a singer in Yangzhou City, I wonder if this singer is here In the carriage?"

Sure enough, he came here for Qin Zhen, but this time he will not back down.

Jiang Ling sneered and said, "Could it be possible that if I buy a singer, I have to tell the little prince, the Duke's mansion can't control my Jiang family."

The words were not good, and there was a hint of threat.

Hou Fangqing's face turned pale, and she cupped her hands and said, "General Jiang misunderstood, but I've seen a portrait of that singing girl, she looks exactly like my fiancée Qin Zhen."

Speaking of Qin Zhen, Jiang Ling clenched her hands into fists, her face was extremely cold.

Su Mei heard everything Jiang Ling and Hou Fangqing said. She was a little curious about what kind of woman Qin Zhen was, so that the dignified young master and General Rongwei of the Duke's Mansion cared about her.

What shocked her even more was that Jiang Ling must have loved that Miss Qin deeply, but Miss Qin was the fiancée wife of the young father-in-law.

The little father-in-law called him Brother Jiang, thinking that they had a good relationship and were as close as brothers, but now they were at war, probably because of Miss Qin.

He regards himself as Qin Zhen, so his heart is bound to be conflicted and entangled. After all, Qin Zhen is his brother's fiancée.

Su Mei sighed softly, feeling a little sympathetic to Jiang Ling, a man like him who is the pride of the sky, a dragon and a phoenix among people, even sometimes he can't love him.

Jiang Ling frowned deeply, and said with a sneer, "Since you know that she is the singer I bought, you know that she is definitely not Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen was buried in that fire, so the young master must know about it! "

He would never admit his mistake, but he did not know why Qin Zhen went to Yangzhou and became a singer in Anlefang, but he believed that Qin Zhen must still be alive.

Jiang Ling said coldly: "If the person in the carriage is really Qin Zhen, since she has heard what you said, why doesn't she come out to see you?"

That's right, the marriage certificate was signed by Qin Zhen himself. He married him willingly, so why didn't she come out to see him.

Hou Fangqing froze in place, his face became paler, and there was a trace of sadness in his brows and eyes, he really couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Ling sneered and said, "My lord, I really don't have time to stay here with you to reminisce about the past and the present, so I bid farewell!"

Jiang Ling got on the horse and rode away. The carriage passed by Hou Fangqing. The cold wind half-rolled the curtains. Hou Fangqing stared blankly at the carriage and took a quick glance inside. There seemed to be a person sitting in the carriage. He was wearing a man's robe, but was just blocked by Jiang Ling's tall figure, so he couldn't see anything clearly.

After the carriage drove a long distance, he still stood there, holding the reins tightly in his hand.

He frowned, his body was in severe pain, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He supported his body and panted violently until Xie An caught up with him.
