Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 687
King Duan has been waiting for her in the main room, and when he saw her come back, he ordered all the servants: "You all step back, and no one is allowed to come in unless you ask!"

After everyone retreated, Fang asked her: "How is it, what did Mrs. Lu say?"

Wei Yuhua then briefly recounted what Lu Mingxuan had said to him, and finally said: "I said earlier that 'you don't have to be suspicious of people, and you don't need to be suspicious', but His Highness insisted on saying 'people's hearts are separated from their belly', and now His Highness can finally rest assured Let's go?" As he said that, he felt very lucky, fortunately Ling Mengqi still shared the same goals with His Highness, otherwise she and Lu Mingxuan's good sisters might not be able to do it anymore.

Duan Wang didn't expect Wei Yuhua's trip to have such an unexpected harvest, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "What we do, but one mistake will cost us everything and even our lives. It's human nature for me to be cautious. Having said that, if you didn't have a good relationship with that Lu family, wouldn't you have the same thoughts as me? Between a brother of the same mother and a simple guest of honor, whoever kisses who is distant, Any fool knows that I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

After a pause, he continued: "I didn't believe the rumor before, I thought it was the empress and the others who made it out of nothing. This kind of framing is commonplace in any dynasty and generation. I didn't think about it. It's actually true! I know the temperament of my good fourth brother best. He is the most self-respecting and arrogant. He must have known about Ling Mengqi's existence early in the morning, and also knew about Ling Mengqi's harmony. The relationship between him and the imperial concubine is why he sent people to chase and kill Ling Mengqi again and again, thanks to his temperament, otherwise how could Ling Mengqi be used by me?"

Since King Duan has made up his mind to seize the heir, and has made so many efforts secretly in the early stage, it is naturally impossible to give up easily, not to mention that King Ning was only established as the crown prince today. After sitting on the most honorable throne, he will do everything in his power to pull him down.

So what Wei Yuhua said to Lu Mingxuan before, "He will forget his shady thoughts from now on, and he will just be a virtuous king in peace and contentment", but it was just a random word from King Duan to test Ling Mengqi. That's all for now, but in fact he has already made up his mind, no matter what Ling Mengqi's answer is, he can't keep him anymore--people are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed, a poor Taoist is worse than a dead fellow Taoist, he can't always All live under the threat of others!
But I didn't expect that things would have such an unexpected twist, which is really great. Originally, he didn't really want to kill Ling Mengqi, not to mention that he admired Ling Mengqi himself, he just said The strength of the Jinyiwei held by the latter is something that other people cannot bring to him. You must know that Jinyiwei is no more than other yamen, but his father's confidant, so he only listens to his father's orders, and waits for the rest of the world. Don't try to drive them to your advantage.

After all, I still have to thank his good fourth brother, if it wasn't for his stupid self-destruction of the Great Wall, after knowing that Ling Mengqi is the elder brother of his own mother and compatriots, not only did he not know how to accept Ling Mengqi for his own use, but even sent someone to After chasing and killing Yu Ling Mengqi, how could he miss such a treasure!
But when he thought that his father finally appointed King Ning as the crown prince, King Duan became angry and said with a sneer: "I used to think that my father was so partial to the fourth brother because he loved Wu and Wu. Now I know that the father is not only partial, in his heart, there are only Luo Shi's mother and son, and all the rest of us put together, can't compare with their mother and son! Murong Ke doesn't need that woman's background. Having said that, for an adulterous son born to an adulterous adulterer, the father actually overcame all difficulties to praise their mother and son, I really don't know whether to sigh at my father's affection, or to say that he is obsessed with ghosts!"

In the early dynasty, King Duan was also in the Qianyuan Hall, and he was a prince, so Sequence should stand at the front, so he could see all the emperor's reactions, so he was so angry that he stuck his nails into his flesh.

Still exhausting all his self-control, Fang Qiang refrained from going out on the spot to oppose King Li Ning as the crown prince, and promptly used his eyes to stop his own people from uttering objections. The royal father had obviously come to follow others to prosper in order to establish the fourth brother. He didn't want to let himself be imprisoned for the sake of momentary pleasure, and there would be no day to turn himself around!
But he didn't speak out against it, but it didn't mean that he didn't hate King Ning or the emperor. Now, in front of his wife, he naturally didn't need to endure it anymore. Of course, he said it happily.

After hearing what King Duan said, Wei Yuhua envied Concubine Luo Guifei quite a bit in her heart, not because she honored her son and became the crown prince, but because she was able to get the emperor's wholehearted love for her, and envied that the emperor risked all the power to love their mother and son. Not bad.

But she knew that Prince Duan would not like to hear these words, so she wisely didn't say them out, and only said: "It's all right for you to say this in front of me, but in front of others, please remember not to show the slightest bit." Come, otherwise, even if the emperor is willing to argue with you, you will never get it right with the crown prince."

Thinking of King Ning, he should be called the prince now, and thinking of the prince's small belly and chicken intestines, although King Duan was full of contempt, he had to accept Wei Yuhua's advice, saying: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

Wei Yuhua nodded, and said again: "Then do you plan to summon Ling Tongzhi in the near future? I think you should meet him. After all, you have been hanging out with him for so long. It was just because of suspicion in your heart. , Now that everyone has spoken, if you continue to do this, it will be unreasonable, and if you let Ling Tongzhi develop any grievances because of this, it will be even more harmless than the gain."

Duan Wang thought for a while, nodded and said: "I will meet with him as soon as possible. You are right in saying 'you don't doubt the person you employ, and you don't use the person you suspect'. yes."

Originally, he was a prince, so he didn't have to be so humble, but if the opponent was Ling Mengqi, he wouldn't mind lowering his status once in a while.
Besides, after Lu Mingxuan sent Wei Yuhua away, she anxiously waited for Ling Mengqi to come home. Logically, he should be well-informed in such a position. I hope that once he gets the news that King Ning has been established as the crown prince, he will He immediately went home to discuss with her.

Fortunately, Lu Mingxuan only waited for more than half an hour, and Ling Mengqi came back with her thin lips tightly pursed. There was still a terrifying and chilling aura emanating from her body, and everyone who should have heard about it had already heard about it.

Because Lu Mingxuan rejected Danqing, Danbi and the others, she asked hesitantly: "You...have heard about it?"

Sure enough, Ling Mengqi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Well, I've heard about it, but you, who did you hear it from? The decree hasn't been announced to the world, so it's impossible for everyone in the capital to know it so soon!"

These days, Ling Mengqi is really unhappy staying in Jinyiwei. Not only do he have to face the evasive gazes and whispers that want to cover up, but he also has to endure all kinds of embarrassments from the two second-in-commands who think he will block their way. exclusion.
