Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 524 Establishment (1)
Since his health has gradually improved, he has come to the Kongcui Pavilion every other night. He only came last night, and he didn't see anything unusual about Lu Mingxuan. I am in trouble, so I have this question.

Lu Mingxuan did not answer him, but continued to say angrily: "Don't you know that your own body is not good enough? This time, it has really hurt your vitality. No matter how difficult it is to take care of it, everything that should be taboo is taboo. Once you get down to the root of the disease, it's not just making a fuss. For play."

Seeing her stern face, Ling Mengqi had no choice but to respond sternly: "Suddenly there was an imperial decree today, and I was promoted to a fourth-rank co-prescient, and my colleagues were clamoring for me to treat guests. Commander Cao and the two second-in-commands also said the same thing, I couldn't shirk it, so I had to book a few seats at Zuixianlou and acted as a host. During the period, everyone respected me and I respected you. Don't be angry, I promise you I won't be like this in the future."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered that after the eunuch who passed the decree left, everyone in the guard from top to bottom looked at him with envy or suspicion or resentment or flattery, and couldn't help frowning. It's okay to be promoted from the fourth grade, because I worked so hard to win it with my life. Although everyone's heart is sad, there is a limit in the end.

Who knows that in less than a month, I was promoted to the fourth rank of Tongzhi, and the promotion was personally decreed by the emperor. At this moment, all the colleagues and subordinates on the peak are not sure how to miss him, God knows he doesn't know at all A fellow who doesn't want to be such a troublemaker, even if he wants to do it, he will do it with his own ability, instead of relying on that woman's charity like now, what's the matter with her, knowing that her precious son wants him Compensation for him after his death?But how could she know!

Lu Mingxuan saw a flash of sternness in Ling Mengqi's eyes, she just thought he was impatient to take care of herself too much, so she hurriedly said: "I'm not angry, and I don't have to take care of you, I'm just worried about your body, have a drink Yiqing, drinking too much hurts your body, and when you really recover, I won't say anything no matter how much you socialize outside."

Seeing that she had clearly misunderstood him, Ling Mengqi calmed down his expression and said with a smile: "I'm not unhappy because you care about me, I wish you could control me from head to toe all the time, I just think about myself I wish I had nothing to do with that woman, but I always either take the initiative or passively accept her charity, and I just feel uncomfortable!"

Uh... Lu Mingxuan hesitated for a moment before saying: "If I tell you that the culprit that caused your uneasiness is very likely to be me, will you blame me?"

Without waiting for Ling Mengqi to ask questions, he honestly explained the ins and outs of the matter, "...I was thinking, I can't make their mother and child feel better, and even if I can't help them, I have to add trouble to them. I really didn't expect that things would happen It has developed like this, ignoring your feelings, don't be angry with me, and I promise you that you will never make your own decisions in the future."

It was only then that Ling Mengqi realized why he was suddenly "happy from the sky". Although he didn't guess the process, he guessed the result pretty well. It really was the woman who wanted to kill him because of her precious son. Should he be happy that he still has a certain status in that woman's heart, or should he be sad that his life is worth a mere promotion from a job to a Tongzhi?
While thinking about it, Lu Mingxuan's voice sounded in my ears again: "Although I did not do this properly, I have already done it if I don't do it. If I regret it now, it will not help. I can only assure you that I will not do this again. Make up your own mind. I called you here today, but I actually wanted to ask you. You and Duan Wang have already got on the line. I shouldn’t have asked about such things, so I didn’t ask you these days, but today it is I have to ask, the emperor cares so much about the imperial concubine and empress, King Ning is already the crown prince. When he really becomes the crown prince, he will occupy the orthodox way. At that time, King Duan may not have no chance, but we may not be able to. We will survive until then, so the time that belongs to us now is really limited!"

Regarding this point, even if there was no such thing as his sudden promotion, Ling Mengqi actually thought of it long ago, and said in a deep voice: "I have met with King Duan twice in private, and I can feel that he may not have that Thoughts, it’s just that we communicated lightly after all, and he has never had a deeper communication with me so far, so I have been thinking for the past two days, should I hand him a nomination certificate to express my sincerity to him, Hearing what you said now, the nomination certificate must be handed over."

Ling Mengqi couldn't possibly guess Duan Wang's thoughts. After all, the matter was too big, and there was not much friendship between them. Naturally, he would not confide in him easily. He originally thought that this was human nature. It's okay to take it step by step, but now it seems that he has to take a dose of strong medicine immediately!

"Certificate of application?" Lu Mingxuan was confused for a while.

Ling Mengqi already pursed his lips and said: "If I tell Prince Duan that the incident between Murong Ke and Qi Changfeng was planned by the emperor alone, then I suggest that he find a suitable opportunity to disclose this matter to the queen." He An Guogong knows, let Queen An Guogong's party and noble concubine Ning Wang's party fight with each other, and he will benefit from it, so he will naturally understand my sincerity."

Lu Mingxuan understood Ling Mengqi's meaning in an instant, nodded and said: "I just didn't know that the previous incident was planned by the emperor, and the empress and An Guo's government already hated King Ning and the emperor to the core, not to mention that after knowing it, they will definitely use it." Do everything possible to prevent the emperor from establishing King Ning as the crown prince, although this may not change the emperor's original intention, at least it will buy us more time, and also buy more time for Prince Duan."

The emperor secretly ordered Ling Mengqi to do this, originally to pave the way for King Ning, but in the end, it was King Ning who broke the emperor's painstaking efforts, and I don't know how the emperor and King Ning will feel when they both know about it ?
On that day, Ling Mengqi went to the Jinyi Guardhouse to answer the post, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, he greeted Commander Cao and left the guardhouse.

But he didn't go home, but rode his horse to the outside of the city, and after a gallop outside the city, he asked the tiger behind him in a deep voice, "What time is it?"

Hu Zi hurriedly said: "It's almost noon, why..." His lowered voice unconsciously brought out a little anxiety, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang hasn't appeared yet, could it be that our news is wrong, His Highness Duan Wang didn't show up at all today. going out of town?"

Ling Mengqi scolded in a low voice: "What's the hurry, what should come will always come, even if you don't come today, there will always be other opportunities. Haven't you heard the saying 'good things take time'?"

Huzi said awkwardly: "Aren't I worried for you, young master..."

It turned out that two days ago, Fengcheng found out that King Duan would be out of the city to hunt today. Ling Meng prayed that there were many people in the capital, and what he wanted to say was important, so no one else would know about it. The place to submit the certificate to King Duan was set outside the city, which was why he would come out of the city today.
