Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 313 Rumors (4)
"What happened?" To make him so anxious, something must have happened.

Xiao Tingxuan strode forward and said in a deep voice: "There are changes in the court, father and mother are in danger."

Ling Xihan's expression also changed, Xiao Tingxuan continued: "I'm leaving for a few days."

"I'll go with you." Ling Xihan blurted out without thinking, she knew that Xiao Tingxuan's departure at this time must be to rescue the emperor and queen.

Xiao Tingxuan looked at her silently, seemingly hesitating.

Ling Xihan looked up and met his eyes seriously, "I'll be with you!"

"But here..."

"It's okay, the business here is on track, just leave it to the second sister."

"This trip is extremely dangerous." Xiao Tingxuan didn't want Ling Xihan to be involved in these conspiracies. This trip was full of dangers and he couldn't take any risks.

Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows, "Dangerous? I have survived from the edge of danger since I was a child. Do you think I am afraid?"

Xiao Tingxuan's deep phoenix eyes surged with pity and pity.

Seeing him loosen a bit, Ling Xihan continued his efforts.

"If you don't take me, I'll go by myself."

Xiao Tingxuan frowned and finally sighed.

"There's really nothing I can do about you." There was a hint of pampering in his eyes.

Ling Xihan's eyes lit up, "When are you leaving?"

"Now!"

The white clouds are long, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.Two fast horses galloped past outside the city, stirring up dust all over the place, and they were heading towards Linzhou.

After handing over all matters in Yunzhou to Ling Xiqing, Ruoyu and Ruoxue, Ling Xihan simply told Ling Xiqing of the next plan and arrangement, and then set off for Linzhou with Xiao Tingxuan.Along the way, Xiao Tingxuan had already told her the ins and outs.It turned out that Zhao Linfeng, the prime minister of the left, had long been disobedient. This time the emperor chased the queen and came to Yunzhou, Zhao Linfeng took this opportunity to secretly discuss with his disciples.

Now the emperor and empress and the prince Xiao Tingxuan are not in the palace, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

However, there are several princes and senior ministers in the court. If Zhao Linfeng forces the palace to rebel, it will be a bad reputation, and the chance of success is slim.Furthermore, Zhao Linfeng is just a courtier, even if he succeeds in forcing the palace, how will he face the world's rumors?How to face the three armies of Prince Yi?Therefore, Zhao Linfeng's rebellion must not be for himself, he will definitely elect a royal family member to inherit the throne.

But if that's the case, then Emperor Yuan Qing, Empress and Xiao Tingxuan must die.

If she guessed correctly, not only the emperor and queen, but Prince Yi might also be assassinated.As for success or not, it is secondary, the ultimate goal is to hold Prince Yi down.

Ling Xihan's heart is heavy. They have faced more than one assassination along the way, and each time there are more people.But fortunately, Xiao Tingxuan had quite a few hidden guards, and all of them were top-notch experts, so they didn't suffer much damage.

She has been thinking about a question, who is Zhao Linfeng going to support in his conspiracy?The only remaining brothers of the emperor are three, Prince Yi, Prince Jing and Prince An.Prince Yi holds a large army, but he is loyal to the emperor, and has already gone to Lancheng in the west.Prince Jing is already near the end of his life, and his strength is not enough.Prince An is cynical and has no ambitions in court.So these three people can be completely ruled out.Then excluding the older ones, only Prince Rui and Prince Gong are left.

Prince Rui!She does have a bit of image, she is a gentle and refined man, without the ambition to dominate the world.She was absolutely sure of that.Excluding everyone, only Prince Gong is left.

Prince Gong?She didn't have a deep impression of this person, and she had a quick glance at the Qionghua Banquet last time, and didn't pay much attention.

It's just that she knew the tragedy when the late emperor seized the throne, only Prince Rui and Prince Gong were left among the eight brothers of the late emperor.It is said that the two old princes dislike fame and fortune. The battle between the seven dragons was so fierce back then, but these two were able to take care of themselves alone.

The old Prince Rui and Prince Gong did not fight back then, so what about their descendants?Will you not be reconciled?Even if you have already resigned to your fate, it is possible to develop a greedy heart through the instigation of caring people.The emperor, who holds the power of life and death in the world, enjoys endless glory and wealth, and has three thousand beauties, how many men don't want to?Right, who in this world is not greedy?

Looking at the sky dotted with stars, Ling Xihan's mouth curled up in an indifferent mockery.

Because it was getting late, the town was too far away, the horse was tired from walking, and there was no farmhouse within a hundred miles to stay overnight, so the two could only sleep in the wilderness.

Xiao Tingxuan went to look for food, while Ling Xihan sat by the fire and thought.Not long after, Xiao Tingxuan came back with two big fat rabbits in his hands.Watching him skillfully peel the rabbit, use a branch to pass through the rabbit, then take out a small bag, sprinkle the seasoning, and put it on the set fire to roast.After doing all this, he took out a white juan to wipe his hands that were not dirty at all.Looking up, seeing Ling Xihan staring at him intently, he smiled.

"What are you thinking about?"

"You seem to be very skilled in survival in the wild..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent.Xiao Tingxuan was thrown to Langya Mountain by Emperor Yuan Qing at the age of six, and left the palace at the age of eight.If you want to survive, you have to be self-reliant.The most basic survival in the wild is naturally a trivial matter.She shut up because she knew.Although Xiao Tingxuan no longer cared about this matter, it was still a scar on his childhood heart.If she mentions it unintentionally at this moment, will he feel sad?

Ling Xihan carefully observed Xiao Tingxuan's expression. Reflected by the fire, his expression was a bit hazy and unrecognizable, but his eyes were still as calm as water, as if he hadn't heard Ling Xihan's words at all.Ling Xihan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, she could tell that Emperor Yuan Qing cared about Xiao Tingxuan very much.Emperor Yuan Qing cared so much about the queen, how could he not like the son born by the queen?
After a long silence, Xiao Tingxuan spoke.

"On the first day I lived in Fengqi Palace, my mother taught me how to survive in adversity."

Ling Xihan looked at Xiao Tingxuan in astonishment, only to see him take out something from his bosom.Under the light of the fire, she could clearly see that it was a slingshot, and it looked very old.

Xiao Tingxuan rubbed the slingshot with his fingers, his expression softened.

"Princes and princesses from the royal families of all dynasties will have a regular tutor to teach, and I have been with my mother since I was born. Literature, history, politics... are all taught by my mother herself. Minister Zhong is far behind... When I was six years old, I moved into Fengqi Palace with my mother to isolate everyone, things, and things from the outside world." His voice was soft and hoarse, and his eyes looked at the fire, as if trapped In the long memory.

"Father loves mother very much. Even if mother moves into Fengxi Palace, no one dares to treat her coldly. But mother is a proud woman. Since she is far away from father, she will not accept all his favors. So She abandoned everything from the outside world, and did not accept the food prepared by the maid and everything needed for life... In the second month after moving into Fengqi Palace, my mother took me to the Leng Palace. It was full of depression and dilapidated... That was my opinion of the Leng Palace. First impression. But my mother took me to live in the cold palace, and lived there for half a year."
