Chapter 157: The old thing is still aroused and intrigued by the capital (II)

When Ling Xiao met the queen mother in Cining Palace, he was in a very good mood.

Before going to Cining Palace, Ling Xiao went to the guard room to find Rong Ruo. The two brothers were very happy to meet each other, and they hugged their arms and greeted each other. Ling Xiao took out a 100,000 taels of silver notes, which surprised Rong Ruo, "Brother Xiao, you are..."

"Help me take care of all the nobles in the palace!"

Rong Ruo looked embarrassed, "Brother Xiao, you don't know that this dynasty is different from the previous Ming Dynasty. No one has much to say. If you do this, it's probably backfire."

Ling Xiao smiled, it was counterproductive? Of course, he knew that Kangxi was extremely strict in the management of the harem, but his purpose was not to ask for any internal aid. "Brother, what about this silver note, you give 30,000 taels to Empress Lan, and share the rest to each Empress with the Prince equally. No one can be more or less. Also, Brother, you don't need to avoid it, and there is no need to sneak in. If the emperor asks, you will divide me and report it to the emperor truthfully."

Rong Ruo was puzzled. Aunt Lan was the eldest prince's mother, but the eldest prince was dead. Ling Xiao was still so generous to her and did not avoid the emperor. What medicine was he selling in this gourd? Just as he was about to ask, Ling Xiao had turned around and left, and a voice came from a distance, "Brother, tell me about my uncle and sister-in-law, I'll treat them to the evening."

Suddenly, he remembered an important thing. Rong Ruo chased after a few steps, but wanted to speak but stopped. He murmured to Ling Xiao's back, "Oh, it's okay if you don't know."

The Cining Palace was filled with heavy smell of wine. Ling Xiao smelled it as soon as he entered the door and couldn't help but smile. After hearing the words of her strong wine to dispel the wind, why don't you clean the courtyard with wine every day? When you entered the hall, Ling Xiao realized that it turned out that the empress dowager's bedroom was so lively today. It was the Lantern Festival, and the empress and princesses who had nothing to do all day gathered here. There were also quite a lot of destined women in the court, with the charm of the old place and the youthful branches.

It is obviously inconvenient to have so many royal women. Ling Xiao briefly greeted the Queen Mother and presented some gifts he had bought for her, he had to say goodbye immediately.

The Queen Mother still liked him very much. This slave who saved her life also brought a lot of peach kernels and gastronomy vegetation this time, which were all very beneficial to the health of the elderly. The Queen Mother immediately decided to reward him with the show in the afternoon in the Imperial Garden.

Although Ling Xiao felt a little bit tired of Kunqu Opera, he was flattered and said thanking him all over and said, and he left the hall.

Standing outside the Yimen Gate of Cining Palace, Ling Xiao hesitated. He just looked at these women with his eyes and looked for Yaru among the figure, but after watching for a long time, he didn't see Yaru. He was worried about Yaru. Ling Xiao quickly asked the eunuchs in Cining Palace. The hundred taels of silver bill was handed out, and he immediately knew Yaru's whereabouts. Ling Xiao was shocked. Did Yaru make any mistakes? After asking carefully, he realized that she was temporarily visiting Princess Xinxin.

At this moment, Ling Xiao felt cold hands and feet, and Xinxin returned to Beijing. She was just half a month away. How could Xinxin be locked up in the sect’s mansion?

Prince Gong Chang Ning was very upset today. When he thought of his very angry niece, Chang Ning was full of anger.

He was not Zong Ling, but his uncle Prince Kang. As Kangxi's younger brother, Chang Ning could only be a Zong Zheng. This was not a good job, especially Zong Zheng who was in charge of empty rooms, often offends people because empty rooms were specifically punishing the children of the royal family who made mistakes.

If the word direction of life in that era was like this, then Chang Ning would definitely shout, "I have lost my direction of life!" As Kangxi's younger brother, the title of prince was already the highest peak that Changning could get, but he often was not convinced. This is not that he had any desire for the throne. Instead, he hoped that he would have the opportunity to be the regent and was more eager for the iron hat that was hereditary. Little did he know that it was this ambitious intention that made him pass by the target. When Kangxi first personally fought for me, it was because of his competition with the eldest prince that Galdan escaped from the net, which made Kangxi furious, stripped his power to lead troops, and threw it to the clan's house to manage a idle mission, and became a prince who was no longer on the table.

Thinking that he had no good impression in his heart, Chang Ning had already lost his delusions like the regent and honestly became an idle prince. Until the fourth day of the first lunar month, Xinxin was locked in an empty room.

No matter how brave Ling Xiao was, he did not dare to go wild in the royal land. When he arrived at the gate of the sect's mansion at the entrance of Dongjiaoxiang, Ling Xiao followed his etiquette and asked for the main task. Prince Kang, who was seventy-year-old and eighty, naturally celebrated the festival in his mansion. Prince Gong Changning saw Ling Xiao's place name, and with a mirror in his heart, he actually gave an order that he had an unknown eyebrow.

Money can be used to understand the gods. When Ling Xiao received the returned famous sect, how could he give up? He even heard some inside information when he bribed the sect's officials at any cost.

The doorman looked around and stuffed the five hundred taels of silver notes handed over by Ling Xiao into his sleeves, whispering, "Marty, please take more responsibility. Today is Prince Gong on duty. He is in a bad mood. As for the young man, you should walk around the door and hit Mu Zhong. Master Xinxin has been here for ten days and cried every day. Master Yaru often comes to see her. Please rest assured of the food and clothing. "

When Ling Xiao heard this, he asked, "What happened to Master Xinxin? "

The doorman hurriedly shook his hand, "Mr. Marquis, I don't know this. I am just a small doorman. I don't know where I know the whole story. Even if I know the whole story, I don't dare to talk nonsense. I'd better go to the palace to ask!"

While he was talking, the side door opened, two palace maids came out with a girl in the palace dress. Ling Xiao looked closely and said happily, "Yaru!"

Yaru was frowning. Seeing Ling Xiao at the door, the tears suddenly seemed like a broken pearl. The bottom of the flower pot sounded and rushed over, but when he was down the steps, Ling Xiao quickly looked and hugged him, "Brother Xiao, you are back, Yaru is going to be anxious. Sister Xinxin is locked up in the dark house by them every day, and she still won't let me see her! If you don't come back today, I'll be planning to ask Brother Haocheng to find you!"

"What?!" Ling Xiao couldn't hear this and was immediately furious. Xinxin, who was separated by a wall, was tortured. This was awesome! He hugged Yaru and took two steps in three steps, and rushed straight to the side door.

Seeing that his face was irritated, Hu Tao quickly stepped forward and pushed away the guards who were about to stop them. The guards silently protected Ling Xiao and entered in. The guards were all frightened. Nearly fifty years have passed since the founding of the country, no one dared to break into the clan's mansion. Not to mention that Ling Xiao was a slave of a foreign surname, even the prince of the Jueluo family, even the prince of the prince, must not dare to. You must know that this was the only storefront of the clan after Kangxi abolished the Eight Kings' discussions. The guards looked at Ling Xiao's gloomy guards, and none of them dared to come up to stop them. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the gatekeeper rushed to the main hall to report the news.

Chang Ning was holding a teacup and sneering in the main hall. He was still thinking about the guest who had visited him a few days ago, "The Prince has no other way, but I can only ask you, the uncle. After the matter is completed, your inheritance will inevitably be in the future. However, the Prince does not want you to come forward in front of the stage. If the emperor is aware of it, it will be a loss." The inheritance? Chang Ning still remembers his shock at that time. Yes, if you want to wear the hat of inheritance, in addition to making contributions to the court, you can also make contributions to the emperor personally to obtain it. The prince's nephew will sooner or later be the treasure. Why didn't he think of this before?

"Prince! Prince, something is wrong. Zhongyi Hou Lingxiao forced his way into the empty room, and the servants couldn't stop it."

Chang Ning was shocked and smashed the teacup, stood up and shouted, "Treat death! I won't let the king beat the police!"

The clan mansion was close to Wumen Gate, and there was a police officer who was from Xuanzhao Wumen Imperial Guard. The gatekeeper stumbled to beat the drum. However, Chang Ning called his entourage guards and came to the courtyard where the empty room was. Chang Ning was nervous and sweating. When he was walking through the bends of the corridor, he felt impulsive several times, wanting to issue an order to kill him, but when he thought of his brother's trust in Ling Xiao, he really didn't have the courage.

After a few roars and screams outside, Xinxin, who was so shocked that she stood up, saw that the door was kicked open by someone. The strong light made her unable to open her eyes for a while. She was tilting her head and squinting her eyes. A thick and wide chest hugged her. The familiar manly aura made her feel extremely safe. "Xinxin, my husband is here, don't be afraid."

Without Ling Xiao's expected crying, nor any tears at all, Xinxin was immersed in Ling Xiao's warm embrace and said confidently, "A Xiao, I know you will definitely come and save me."

When Ling Xiao helped Xinxin out of this small dark room, his heart began to ache. Xinxin's face was extremely pale and looked very weak. She was wearing a thin silk robe with a loose bun. She looked haggard, who had always been pampered. Ling Xiao shouted and asked someone to arrange food and tea, and asked softly.

"Xinxin, tell Langjun quickly, what happened?"

"Hmph! Mr. Lang? What a courage!" Chang Ning rushed in with his guards in the palace. He happened to hear Ling Xiao's words, and laughed wildly there, "It's just that I have searched for without any effort when I find it! I asked this bitch for more than ten days, but I didn't expect you, a dog slave, to recognize me!"

When he heard this man calling Ling Xiaogou slave and calling the princess a bitch, Ling Xiao's personal guards suddenly looked cold and looked at him with anger. They were young people from Hubei who had never seen the world. They always thought Ling Xiao was the biggest in their eyes, but they didn't recognize their clothes. They didn't know that this was the prince. If the two Hu had not issued the order, they would have been beaten up in the morning.
