Chapter 12

When Ling Yu returned to the mansion and heard that Zhao'an proposed that he wanted to learn martial arts, he was slightly surprised, because Zhao'an studied very hard, and he thought Zhao'an liked to study.Zhao'an said seriously: "I want to learn martial arts, and I want to be able to protect His Highness in the future."

Ling Yu couldn't help laughing, but he felt that casual words were not enough to be believed, but he still agreed, thinking that in the future, Zhao'an would be able to protect himself if he had martial arts skills, and he would be able to improve his health even if he didn't learn well, so let him follow Xiang Bing first. Learn some basics, and follow the three chapters of the law, don't cry tired, listen to the arrangement, and stick to it.

Zhao'an agreed one by one, Ling Yu only thought it was his whim, but he didn't expect that Zhao'an's persistence was all for himself.

He was talking with Zhao'an, but he didn't expect Xiang Bing to run over out of breath, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, go and have a look, Miss Qu smashed the flower pavilion, and I can't stop it." .”

Ling Yu frowned, and asked, "What's going on?" The Flower Pavilion is Qu He's favorite waterside pavilion, quiet and elegant, and all the furnishings in the pavilion are taken care of and arranged by Qu He himself. She is usually fine and she also likes to read some medical books in it.

Xiang Bing glanced at Zhao An, wondering: "Anyway, go and see, Ji Qing was also beaten."

Now even Zhao'an understood the seriousness of the matter, Qu He was always obedient and docile in front of Ji Qing, not to mention beating others, even losing his temper, let alone beating Ji Qing.When Ling Yu heard the words, she didn't ask any more questions, and got up and rushed to the front yard. When she arrived, Qu He had already left in a fit of anger, and the pavilion was in a mess. She threw the sachet from the pavilion last night, floating on the water. Shen is not sinking.

There was a conspicuous palm print on Ji Qing's left face, which showed that Qu He really used his strength this time, and Ji Qing didn't hide, he just got slapped.When Ling Yu saw the sachet on the water, he figured it out. He didn't say anything, but told Xiang Bing to follow Qu He until she returned to Qu Mansion safely.

At night, a figure flashed into Ling Yu's study room, and without a sound, an inconspicuous small wooden box with a finger width was placed on the study room's table in a moment, and then hurried away, not even the servants on duty for the night find.When Ling Yu returned to the study, he opened it and saw that there was only written on the small silk cloth inside: "Failed."

Ling Yu's face darkened a little, and he burned the silk cloth with a candle, but it was something that Tianxin Pavilion couldn't find out, and he couldn't do anything about it.It is just such a cold palace, which looks cold and desolate, but in fact it is heavily guarded. Why did Qingming appear there in such a timely manner at that time? This made Ling Yu more and more suspicious, so that a very absurd question suddenly appeared. guess, but he shook his head and felt that he was thinking too much.

It snowed again at night, Ling Yu remembered that he hadn't visited Zhao'an's room, and didn't know if the servants had prepared properly, so he took out his cloak to go and have a look, and when he passed by the waterside pavilion, he heard stirring The sound of water, he stopped and walked towards the flower pavilion, only to see Ji Qing standing in the water, bending over to fumble for something, his lips were purple from the cold, he must have stood in the freezing water for a while.

Ling Yu didn't make a sound, and watched him search for a while, and finally found what he was looking for.Ling Yu knew without looking, what he was looking for was the sachet.

Maybe because he was too focused, Ji Qing didn't notice Ling Yu's arrival, he cleaned the sachet and carefully put it in his arms.

"Since you have her in your heart, why hurt her like this." Ling Yu sighed.If Ji Qing doesn't like Qu He, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, and it would be better if Qu He gave up earlier, but Ling Yu can see clearly that he has love in his heart, but he just blindly avoids it.

Ji Qing was startled, looked up and saw Ling Yu, and said respectfully, "Your Highness." After speaking, he got up from the water, as if nothing had happened, except for his wet body, his face was as calm as usual.

Ling Yu sighed, and saw that he was in love, so he didn't say anything, but said: "Go back to rest early, don't catch the cold." He also ordered the maid who met on the road to bring Ji Qing a bowl of ginger soup .

Seven days later, Emperor Cheng decreed that the third prince, Ling Yu, and Miss Qu's family, Qu He, would be married in March next year.For a while, there were many discussions in the government and the public. Although the Qu family is a family in the middle of the capital, the family has a great career, but there is still a false name in the court. Being able to marry the royal family is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, shining on the lintel, and some people say that Ling Yu is even more famous for his backing If you have money, the situation may change in the future.

When Zhaoan heard about this incident, he was still squatting, and his head was sweating in winter. After telling him the so-called happy event to the ice thief Xixi, Zhaoan fell to the ground unsteadily. .

Out of breath laughing at this, Xiang Bing turned his head and saw Ji Qing behind him, obviously Ji Qing also heard his words, Xiang Bing's smile twisted and froze on his face again, and hurriedly said that the butler had something to do with him , and slipped away with his tail between his legs.

Ji Qing still had a cold face, walked two steps forward with no expression on his face, and then sat on the corridor with some numbness. One child, one posture, watching the dots of snowflakes falling from the sky in the courtyard, without speaking.

According to An, I don't want to call her mother.

At the end of the month, at the happy event of bestowing a marriage, Emperor Cheng was in good spirits, specially held a family banquet in the palace, and announced the visit of Miss Qu's family. He stepped forward, but hastily said that Leng Gong had run out of water.

It wasn't a big deal at all, but Emperor Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, and before he had time to say anything, he got up and rushed to the cold palace.

Concubine Qin raised her eyebrows slightly, without changing her face, she drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

When Emperor Cheng arrived at Jinyuan, the side hall of the Lenggong was already in flames.

Ling Yu sensed that something was wrong, and rushed over, the flames lit up half of the sky, and Qingming directed the palace staff to put out the fire.

And at this time, a dark figure ran out desperately protecting something, even the guards couldn't stop it, and just fell in front of Emperor Cheng, and what she was protecting was a child about seven or eight years old. Already scorched, the child in her arms was unharmed.She opened her mouth and yelled twice, as if asking someone to put out the fire quickly, but she couldn't speak anymore, her disheveled and black face was only lifted up for a moment under the light of the fire, and then she lost her breath.And Emperor Cheng was so outraged as if he had been hit by a collision, he was so enraged that people hurriedly dragged her down.

The crying child shouted: "Mother, mother is still inside..."

Emperor Cheng's expression changed, and Qingming who was next to him covered the child's mouth, let the guard carry him down in his arms, then stopped a palace man from taking the water from the basin, wet himself from the head, and jumped into the room. the scene of the fire.

Concubine Qin and other people at the banquet also rushed over, looking at each other for a moment, unexpectedly someone had a child in the cold palace, and it was really embarrassing for me to bump into such a scandalous matter in the palace.

Concubine Qin Gui knew that the situation was wrong, and with a calm smile, she hurriedly pushed away the crowd for Emperor Cheng, and then retreated tactfully.

Ling Yu didn't leave, as if he didn't hear Qin Guifei's words, he stood straight on the spot, Emperor Cheng frowned as he looked at the fire, and didn't ask him to leave. Emperor Cheng, Ling Yu, and the palace servants who shuttled back and forth behind them to put out the fire.

Under the firelight, Ling Yu's expression couldn't be seen clearly, but his body trembled a little, and he asked, "Who is he? And who's inside?"

Emperor Cheng was worried about the fire, and was speechless when asked by Ling Yu, so he could only respond in silence, but Ling Yu's body trembled even more because of this.

Ling Yu's breath was stagnant after seeing that terribly black face. Although it was only for a moment, he recognized that it was the personal maid of her mother, Queen Ye. After Queen Ye died, she died together with her. maid.A trace of shock and disbelief rose in Ling Yu's heart. An absurd idea broke into his head, as if it took his breath away. Queen Ye, who was pregnant but died of illness suddenly, was a child on the ground, and the heavily guarded Lenggong, the red plums planted all over the outside of Lenggong, every year near the birthday, I will call myself who is admiring the plums in Jinyuan and talking, and the immature "mother".

His face turned pale in an instant, and he lost his former calmness. In the chaos, he was about to stagger towards the cold palace, shouting in his heart: "Impossible, this is impossible."

Emperor Cheng frowned, seeing Ling Yu like this, he hurriedly ordered: "Stop him."

Ling Yu turned a deaf ear to it, and just wanted to go to the Lenggong to see what happened. Even though it had already burned out, the guards stood in front of him, and Emperor Cheng scolded him, but he didn't look back. He struggled to push away the person standing in front of him, and said sternly : "Get out of the way, she's still inside, right? Let me in, let me in."

Qingming jumped out of the fire scene, wiped his smoky face with slightly trembling fingers, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the fire started from the side hall. The fire is too strong, and the side hall...has collapsed."

Ling Yu froze in place, staring blankly at the roof he had seen every year for several years. The red wall was still the red wall he had seen every year, but he didn't know at that time that there was a wall separated by him day and night. The person who misses, puts his hands lightly on the red wall, listens to his voice, describes his mature appearance, thinks about his joys, sorrows, sorrows, and after he left, year after year, Looking forward to the snowfall again and the plum blossoms in full bloom.

The fire was raging, and no one could go in or out.

Abandoning his usual calmness, Ling Yu asked, "Why?" His tone was full of sadness and despair.

Emperor Cheng looked at the flames in his eyes, and couldn't hide his grief, and then there was a twist, and he said angrily: "Why? Because she is crazy! What happened back then hit her too hard, she couldn't bear it, and she was terrified all day and night .Yuanhe royal family cannot have a crazy queen, and the Ye family has no successors, I will not let the Ye family have a waste queen for your sake."

The flames shot up to the sky behind him, but Ling Yu looked at him with cold and sad eyes after hearing this, which shocked Emperor Cheng.

But this also made Emperor Cheng wake up from his anger and restrain his sadness.

"There was a fire in the cold palace, and the third prince was frightened. He was sent out of the palace immediately to rest in peace, and there must be no violation."

Chengdi's voice sounded behind him, and Ling Yu looked back at the majestic man dejectedly, but his eyes were clear and clear, and he could not tolerate any disobedience: "All the palace people present, kill."

The guards glanced at each other, and Ling Yu heard the words "offended", and when his back hurt, he fell into the boundless darkness.

In Jinyuan, red plums are dotted, reflecting the firelight, and finally paved with dazzling red.
