Ling Shuang entered the side hall, but saw the queen sitting on the ground and sobbing in a low voice. She was surprised and hurried forward, held the queen and whispered: "Empress, don't hurt your body!"

After the queen was helped up, Ling Shuang helped her sit down on the chair, then took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to the queen. The queen looked sad and took the silk handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Ling Shuang poured a cup of hot water, then walked to the queen, put tea on both hands, and said respectfully: "Empress, you drink some water!"

The queen raised her hand and gently pushed it away. Ling Shuang placed the tea on the table and stood beside her with her hands hanging down. Seeing the queen's sad and sad look, she was smart and actually guessed a few points and wanted to comfort her, but when she thought of her identity, she wanted to speak but stopped and finally didn't say anything.

The queen wiped her tears and smiled bitterly: "I know he was resentful, but I didn't expect him to become like this!" Wiping the tears in the corners of her eyes, then she looked up at Ling Shuang. When she saw Ling Shuang's face, the queen said in a lost voice: "It's you!"

Ling Shuang was stunned. Although she was in the capital, she was taken into the palace by the King of Qi. However, the King of Qi concealed the matter and did not dare to let the emperor and the queen know that when Ling Shuang was in the palace, she occasionally had the opportunity to see the queen in secret, but the queen naturally would not know Ling Shuang's identity, nor would she pay too much attention to the maids in the palace.

After hearing the queen's sudden statement, Ling Shuang thought the queen had known her identity for a long time. She was stunned for a moment, but just lowered her head and did not speak.

The queen had already grabbed Ling Shuang's hand and asked, "What's your name?"

"I am a servant, Ling Shuang." Ling Shuang felt a little nervous and said softly: "When I was in the capital, I served the prince with the side. Later, the prince went to the northwest, so I followed him and served him."

The queen was stunned and ordered, "Raise your head."

Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, raised her head, her beautiful face was as white as jade. The queen stood up, took two steps back, and looked carefully. She saw Ling Shuang's bright eyes and white teeth, with beautiful water and elegant spirit, like a beautiful daffodil, tall and graceful, with a refined temperament that was beyond the world.

"Your name is Ling Shuang?"

Ling Shuang nodded and said "Yes", and the queen asked again: "What's your surname? Where is your home? Where are your parents now?"

Ling Shuang saw that the queen's mature and beautiful face had a hint of excitement, and she felt a little strange. She didn't know why the queen had become so excited in an instant when she was sad.

"My surname is Mo, and he is a Taoist in Jinling!" Ling Shuang whispered: "By parents and parents are no longer here!"

When the queen heard this, her pretty face's excitement suddenly disappeared a little, but she still looked at Ling Shuang up and down and asked, "Are you from Jinling?"

Ling Shuang nodded slightly and wondered if King Qi had told the queen about her, so the queen was here to ask the bottom of the matter.

She naturally knew that the royal laws were strict, and the King of Qi was interested in her. Although the King of Qi has always been with courtesy now, and Ling Shuang did not have the love between men and women against the King of Qi, the King of Qi might have to bring the marriage to the table sooner or later. If the King of Qi told the Queen about this matter and the Queen asked about her family background, it would be natural.

Thinking of this, Ling Shuang's nervousness suddenly disappeared. For some reason, a hint of hope arose in her heart, hoping that the queen would despise her family background and stop this marriage.

"Jinling!" The queen thought, then asked, "Ling Shuang, when did your parents die?"

Ling Shuang thought for a while and said, "Since Ling Shuang remembered, she has lived in a village on Jinling Road. Her parents are both ordinary farmers and her family is poor. Ling Shuang has an older brother!"

"oh?"

"My brother is three years older than me." Ling Shuang said: "It's just that when Ling Shuang was five years old, her parents passed away one after another. Apart from her brother, there were no other relatives. My brother was still young at that time, so he could only lead me to beg for a living!"

"What then?" the queen asked hurriedly.

Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment before saying, "My brother and I beg for two years. Later, we got separated from our brother and never saw each other again. At that time, Ling Shuang Ling Shuang was only seven years old!"

"Seven years old?" asked the queen, "How old are you this year?"

"It's twenty-one!" Ling Shuang replied.

"Twenty-one?" The queen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes twitched slightly, and said, "How did you survive after you and your brother were separated? You were only seven years old at that time, and if no one took him in, it would be difficult to survive."

Ling Shuang smiled softly and said, "What the Empress said is that after Ling Shuang and her brother were separated, they did not even see their last relatives and had no relatives at that time, but they met them!" At this point, her face was a little pale and her eyes flashed, but she did not continue to say it.

The queen walked up, held Ling Shuang's hand, and said softly: "Ling Shuang, don't be afraid. What happened to you? Just tell me, I know I must be in trouble."

Ling Shuang thought for a while and then said, "I met a man. He took me to a place and saw a woman. After seeing me, the woman took me in. After doing a few years of miscellaneous work, she began to let me learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and singing, essays and dance!" After saying this, she did not continue.

But the queen had already understood something and sighed: "You must have lived a very miserable life in those years." After pondering slightly, she finally asked: "Then how did you get to Yingren? Is someone sending you into the palace?"

When Ling Shuang heard this, she suddenly felt strange and wondered if the queen didn't know her origin. She wanted to tell the queen about the reason, but she also thought that King Qi and she met in the brothel. If she told the queen about it, the King Qi's visit to the brothel would naturally be revealed. She immediately hesitated and lowered her head, not daring to say more.

Seeing this, the queen knew that Ling Shuang would have a hidden secret. She saw that Ling Shuang was beautiful and beautiful, with a jasper-like temperament in her family. She didn't look like a girl coming out of the fireworks and willow alley. She held Ling Shuang's hand and sat down first, and then let Ling Shuang sit in front of her. Ling Shuang was very reserved. The queen advised her, and Ling Shuang then sat down in front of the queen uneasy.

"Lingshuang, I am very happy that you can come to the northwest from the capital with Yingren, and never leave him when he needs someone to take care of him the most." The queen said softly: "I want to know more about you. No matter what happens, just tell me, just treat me as you and your mother, just treat the mother and the two of you talking, don't have any worries."

Ling Shuang's eyes blinked slightly, and when she saw the queen looking expectant, she whispered: "Queen, do you really not blame me?"

"Just say it." The queen smiled, "No matter what happens, I just think it's my daughter telling her mother about her pain. Are you okay?"

Ling Shuang saw the queen's loving look on her face, and her heart trembled. After hesitating for a moment, she finally told the story of the past.

From the time when Baoxiang Tower competed for the courtesan, until Chu Huan used a golden plan to escape from the shell, and then from Yunshan to the capital, the King of Qi designed to bring himself into the palace, Ling Shuang did not hide it.

The queen was thrilling when she heard it. Before Ling Shuang told her, although the queen had guessed that Ling Shuang's experience would definitely be bumpy, she did not expect it to be so bizarre.

She always thought Yingren was gentle and pure, but she didn't know that she was very bold in private, so she actually brought Ling Shuang into the palace without telling her.

But at this moment, I had no time to care about Yingren's misconduct back then. He looked loving and looked like a look of pity. He held Ling Shuang's hand and sighed: "Child, it's really a pain for you. If your father knew this, he wouldn't know how to feel sorry for him!" At this point, the already red eyes were even more full of tears.

Ling Shuang was stunned, and felt that the queen was a bit strange. She blurted out, "Does the queen know her father?" As soon as she said that she was wrong. The queen was a golden branch and jade leaf, the mother of the Great Qin Empire, and her father was just a poor citizen. How could the two of them have any interaction?

However, the queen stared at Ling Shuang and looked at Ling Shuang's delicate facial features carefully. Her voice was filled with a hint of self-blame: "This is all blame for me, I, I should have found you that you have suffered so much over the years, and it is all blame for me!"

The more Ling Shuang heard it, the more strange he felt, and hurriedly said, "Empress, this is all destined and has nothing to do with the Empress!" Thinking of Yingren's appearance when he left, he was a little worried and said softly: "Empress, please rest earlier. The prince sometimes speaks straightforwardly. You know him better than me. Don't blame him and see how he is now."

The queen shook her head and said, "Don't worry about him, he won't have anything to do." She asked softly, "Ling Shuang, did you tell you something special when your parents were alive?"

"What special thing?" Ling Shuang said in confusion: "What does the Empress mean?"

The queen hesitated and said, "Have they ever said that you were not born to them?"

Ling Shuang was stunned, looked surprised, then shook her head and said, "When I was very young, my parents passed away. Even they didn't look very much. I just remember that they treated me well. When my father went out to do farm work, he always brought some small things to me!" She was smart and felt that the queen's words today were a bit abnormal, so she asked carefully: "Empress, why do you ask this? Do you think I am not my parents' birth?"

The queen frowned slightly, pondered slightly, and finally said, "Lingshuang, come with me." She got up, turned around and walked back.

Ling Shuang was a little surprised and stood up, but did not follow. The queen took a few steps and turned around and waved, "Child, come here!"

Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him, turned a screen with the queen, and turned to a room next to the side hall. The queen closed the door and a oil lamp was lit in the room. The lonely lamp was cold. The queen went over and took Ling Shuang's hand, went behind a screen in the inner room, and whispered: "Child, take off your shirt!"
