Video: From Qingqing's daily life

Chapter 145
Inside Funing Hall, the candles were dimly lit.

The old emperor Zhao Zhen was lying on the bed, and the queen waited in front of the bed.

By candlelight, Zhao Zongquan saw that the old emperor's eyes were dull and his expression was tired, as if he had lost his energy, he couldn't help but "thump" in his heart.

"You came."

Zhao Zhen's voice was also weak.

"Chen, Zhao Zongquan, meet the official family!"

Zhao Zongquan did not dare to neglect, and immediately took Zhao Ceying, Gu Tingye and others, bowed deeply and saluted.

But after a while, they still didn't hear Zhao Zhen telling them to flatten.

I had to keep bowing.

Just when Zhao Zongquan wondered in his heart whether the old emperor had run out of fuel and was in a hazy state of mind.

But Zhao Zhen suddenly asked, "Where's Zi Xun?"

Zhao Zongquan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Is the official looking for Marquis Zhongyong?"

Hearing Zhao Zhen's address to Yin Ling, Zhao Zongquan's heart suddenly trembled.

Although it is in private, but in front of many people, directly addressing a courtier by his name instead of his title or position, does this official family care so much for Zhongyonghou?

Zhao Zongquan suddenly remembered the recent rumors, only saying that Yin Ling was a master, and the officials united with the Qingliu of the imperial court to recall Yin Lin back to Bianjing and put him under military power.

He also said that Yin Ling's achievements in Yanyun have been accomplished for thousands of years, and the officials are very afraid of him.

But Zhao Zongquan looked at it at this time, but it seemed that it was not the case.

It seems that you have to believe the rumors, but you can't believe them all.

"Where is Zi Xun? How is Zi Xun?"

The old emperor's expression suddenly became tense, and there was still a trace of panic, and he wanted to sit up from the bed.

Everyone exclaimed, for fear that he would not be able to catch his breath.

"Don't worry about the officials, the rebels have already been executed, and the Marquis Zhongyong is now guarding outside the palace." Zhao Zongquan hurriedly persuaded.

"Let him in." Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then he stopped stubbornly getting up.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zongquan exchanged a glance with his subordinates.

Immediately said: "Yes."

……

This is Zhao Zongquan's memory.

At this time, what he saw in front of his eyes was that Yin Ling was already sitting by the bed, stroking the back of the old emperor Zhao Zhen, as if to please him.

And the empress who was sitting there had already stood aside.

Originally, Yin Ling was covered in blood, but at first Zhao Zhen asked him to sit next to him, and he initially refused, but Zhao Zhen was firm and didn't care about the blood on his body at all, Yin Ling had no choice but to do so.

As Zhao Zongquan watched this scene, he was secretly thinking.

This is no longer as simple as the holy family. Those who don't know, think that Yin Zhongyong is the illegitimate son of the official family!
In particular, just now when the officials saw Yin Ling approaching, they seemed to show a relieved expression.

This is clearly a manifestation of being very worried about Yin Ling's safety.

"Zhao Zongquan." Zhao Zhen said suddenly.

The strange thing is that at this time, Zhao Zhen has recovered a lot, and the fatigue on his face has subsided a lot. Even the voice of speaking can be heard to be fuller than not long ago.

"The minister is here." Zhao Zongquan suddenly came back to his senses.

"No matter when it comes, you have to remember."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Zongquan with scorching eyes, and said, "If there were no Zhongyonghou, and his sixteen followers, I and the queen would have died for a long time!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were shocked.

Sixteen... no, seventeen?
Seventeen people killed so many? !
Didn't the officials say everything?

Maybe seventeen people led a group of troops, otherwise how could it be possible!

But they changed their minds and thought again, no matter what, this rebellion, thanks to the help of the loyal and brave Marquis, will definitely not be able to escape.

"Yes, Zhongyong Hou is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, and his bravery is extraordinary. My minister, you must remember it in your heart."

Zhao Zongquan respectfully replied.

But I didn't want Zhao Zhen to be silent for a while, and then said: "That's all, you won't understand the reason, no matter how I explain it, you just need to keep it in mind."

"Chen..." Zhao Zongquan just wanted to express his attitude, making Zhao Zhen and Yin Ling think that they were not perfunctory.

But Zhao Zhen pressed his right hand weakly, stopped his words, and then said to the servant: "Where's the little girl from the Sheng family?"

The servant replied: "When you go back to the official's house, Miss Sheng is resting in the side hall. The wound has been bandaged, it's just a superficial wound."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Go and invite her over."

"Yes."

The servant responded respectfully and went out of the hall.

Not long after, Minglan was brought over.

As soon as Minglan entered the hall, the queen immediately stepped forward with a kind smile on her face, and pulled Minglan to her side.

Seeing many unknown people in the hall, and the atmosphere was relatively solemn, Minglan was momentarily at a loss, and dared not speak out.

At this time, Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Zongquan: "This woman is the daughter of Sheng Hong, a servant in the court of rites. Treat her like a daughter."

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked again.

Especially Ming Lan herself was startled by these words, her delicate body trembled, she didn't know why the official said such words suddenly.

Just when she was a little panicked, she felt warm in her hands, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was the empress holding her hand, looking at her kindly.

"Don't be afraid, the officials are rewarding you."

The queen said with a smile.

Ming Lan half-consciously nodded.

Zhao Zongquan looked at Minglan, and really didn't know what kind of medicine this official was selling in the gourd.

"Officials, this..." Zhao Zongquan hesitated.

"You don't want to?" Zhao Zhen said.

"minister……"

Zhao Zongquan didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Thank you, the official."

Seeing this, everyone really couldn't figure it out.

Although Yin Ling knew that Minglan blocked the arrow for the queen, the old emperor was repaying his kindness, but it is not enough to let Zhao Zongquan recognize Minglan as a righteous daughter, right?

After all, he deliberately let go of the arrow that was shot at Minglan, just to make things easier for Minglan to gain some merit in front of the old emperor and empress.

But up to now, there are different variables.

What is the official intention of doing this?

Is it...

Thoughts swirled in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of a possibility.

At this time, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and said to Yin Ling: "I heard that this Ming girl is your cousin?"

Yin Ling nodded: "Miss Sheng is Chen's aunt's cousin, and her little mother and mother are siblings."

Zhao Zhen asked again: "But Wei?"

Yin Ling replied: "Yes."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen understood. He knew Yin Ling's life experience, so he naturally knew that Yin Ling had a stepmother, who was the eldest sister of Jiangnan Wei's family.

So he said: "Since that's the case, I intend to marry you two, are you willing?"

Give, give marriage? !

Yin Ling was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Minglan.

But Ming Lan was also dumbfounded, and also looked at him with a tacit understanding.

The eyes of the two met in the dim candlelight, and then separated for a moment.

Yin Ling was fine, he was still thinking about the old emperor's intentions this time, but Ming Lan was already blushing, she was overwhelmed with surprise, but also a little happy.

Even she herself couldn't understand such complicated emotions at this time.
