Chapter 176

harem.

The empress sat on the phoenix couch in a graceful manner and listened to the eunuch's report below.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been confined to the mansion recently and has not gone out, nor has he sent anyone to the Prince's Mansion. Everything is calm."

"Quiet?" The queen laughed at herself, "I'm afraid it's the calm before the storm."

Perhaps it was enough to lie down, the empress lazily got up, and immediately a nanny leaned forward to help her up, "Your Majesty, are you going to have dinner now?"

"I haven't resolved my knot, what else do I want to eat? Didn't you listen to what the Holy One said today? Even if you planned to give the sixth prince and the seventh prince a chance, you still didn't give up that anonymous penny." Thinking about it made her angry.

Turning around, his piercing eyes met the eunuch, "Go, continue to send someone to watch over the prince, no, it should be called the third prince now. No matter what happens to him, he must report to me in time."

"Yes, ma'am."

"What is it? I haven't finished what I said." The queen was very dissatisfied with the eunuch's self-assertion. "After being a prince for so many years, the prince will definitely not be reconciled to being abolished because of a woman one day. Watching him, all the ups and downs in his house, no matter if it is the master or the servant, I have taken care of it, if a mosquito flies out, you have to tell me, you know?"

The eunuch was stunned, and quickly understood the voice of the queen, "Don't worry, my lady, the servants are all masters in the Jianghu. They will guard alternately day and night, and there will never be any mistakes."

"That's good." The queen nodded in satisfaction, "There is also the county prince's mansion, and find a few people to show me. If there is a chance, then..." She didn't finish the rest, but wiped her neck at the eunuch gesture.

The eunuch obviously didn't expect that the empress would let him kill someone, so he knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Mother, there are so many masters in the county palace, especially the little prince, who usually looks at Diao Erlang as a cynical person, but in fact he is very skilled. Too bad."

That's right, when she learned that Mrs. Su had rescued the crazy woman, she had sent people to assassinate her several times, but none of them succeeded. The most serious time was that all the people she sent out were wiped out, and none of them came back alive. It was only after inquiring that they all died at the hands of Su Ce.

"Su Ce?" The queen's sharp eyes turned, "I underestimated him before. Not only did he not follow the overall intention of the county palace, but he also deliberately opposed me."

The queen sneered, and the murderous look appeared in her eyes again, "I used to not care about that child, thinking that as long as he didn't fight against me, it would be fine, but now because of that bitch Ling Mu'er, she has fought against me several times, so it should be a lesson to him It's time."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Don't think that what the elder princess did was hidden from everyone in the world. It's even more impossible for her to hide it for a lifetime. Send someone to investigate. No matter how long it takes, I will find a witness for that incident."

As if she had already seen Su Ce's future end, the queen curled her lips in satisfaction, "Didn't Su Ce intend to help Ling Muer? I want to see what capacity he has to protect Ling Mu'er after that matter is announced to the world." with her!"

"Yes, empress, the servant will do it now!"

As if a major matter had been resolved, the empress was in a good mood, "Well, everything has been arranged properly, and this appetite has been whetted, the mother will arrange for the dining room to make some food that suits my appetite, and you will eat with me today. "

She patted the old mother who had been by her side for many years, her smile was warm and breezy, as if she had returned to the kind Aunt Chen, making people forget the viciousness just now.

Ling Mansion.

When Ling Mu'er came back, she saw that everyone was packing up, and there were several carriages parked outside the door.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Seeing that it was her daughter who came back, Yang paused the movements of her hands, rushed over and hugged her, "My Muer, my poor Muer, you are finally back, let mother see if there is any injury." ?”

Hearing that Ling Mu'er was imprisoned, the whole family stayed up all night last night, Yang hurriedly circled around her body, not seeing any wounds, so she was relieved.

When the grandmother heard Ling Muer's voice, she quickly put down her hands and ran out of the house, "Is Muer back? Is she really back? Why was she suddenly thrown into the sky prison? What's going on here? ah?"

Father and uncle were sorting out some expensive and large items, when they heard the bustling sounds in the front yard, the two of them looked at each other and hurried out. Seeing Ling Muer looking at everyone suspiciously, even the seven-foot man had tears in his eyes.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, Mu'er, don't just stand around stupidly, go to your room and tidy up, we don't dare to mess around with your room, tidy it up, we'll leave before dark."

Grandma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and urged her to cherish the time.

Ling Muer was at a loss, "Arranging something, where are we going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Leave the capital! This time I figured it out. We must leave immediately. This place of right and wrong is not a place for poor people like us to stay. It is too dangerous. We must leave tonight!" Yang took a deep breath.

It's rare to see my mother being so assertive. In the past, she always hid behind her husband and children submissively.

It can be seen what a blow it was to them yesterday.

"Everyone stop what you're doing, don't clean up any more!" Stretching her neck and explaining to all the servants in the house, Ling Muer looked down at her family, "Mother, we won't leave!"

"No, I can't listen to you this time!" Yang's attitude was firm.

"Look at what happened during this period of time? Where did we have all these troubles when we were in the county seat? What if we don't go in danger this time? Do you know what happened to us after you entered the prison? You made it through? Mu'er, mother and your grandmother are getting older and can't bear such a fright."

You don't need to guess to know that the family must have survived the whole night with tears in their faces last night.

But where can they go?

"Mother, listen to me, everything last night was a misunderstanding, don't you see that I am standing in front of you now? If there is really trouble, how can I easily get out of the dungeon? Of course, if you don't believe me Just go and ask the little county king, or did he personally send me back."

Yang refused to listen, "Is it a misunderstanding that the food in the restaurant was framed by someone? Is it also a misunderstanding that you were almost...by the prince? There are so many misunderstandings, what will happen next time? Will you be so lucky to be caught?" Xiaojun Wang rescue?" Yang's eyes were already in tears as she spoke.

"Mu'er, let's go. We have earned enough money here. If you don't want to go back to Lingjia Village, we can go to any place. This capital city is certainly good, but it is not suitable for ordinary people like us. Listen to my mother's advice. , okay?"

For a moment, Ling Muer wanted to nod her head in agreement, because she could see that her mother was really worried about her.

On the way back just now, she also imagined that if the queen and the prince find her against her again, if the emperor finds some reason to announce her into the palace, how will she solve it? How will she deal with it? Continue to play tricks? If someone doubts that she has space, will she be regarded as a witch?

But she is still reluctant to leave, here is her dream and her ambition.

The capital is a place full of talents, the capital of the world, only here can she develop her true strength,

"Mother, we can go, but do you really have the heart to leave brother here alone?" Ling Muer's voice was not loud, but her words pierced Yang's heart.

"Are you willing to give up the restaurant we have worked so hard to manage? And Mr. Zhu's family, we asked them to abandon their homes and jobs to follow us. What do you tell them to do in the future? What about Ziyu's studies? It's coming soon." Imperial examination, have you thought about all of this?"

Ling Zixuan is now the magistrate of the county prince's mansion, so it is impossible to leave the capital.

It's a pity that the business of the Ling's restaurant is still booming, and it's a pity to let it go suddenly.

There is also Mr. Zhu, who has devoted all his life to teaching his two children, and throwing their family out like this is considered ungrateful.

I have to admit that Ling Muer's few words touched Yang's heart, and her heart that had been so hard to calm down instantly collapsed.

"Then. What should we do now? We can't continue to watch you get hurt one day!"

What they are most grateful for is their daughter. If it is not their daughter, they will not be able to live such a good life, and they will not be able to see the bustling appearance of the capital, but they do not want their daughter to be injured, and they only want her to be safe and sound.

"Don't worry, mother, this is the last time, I won't let myself get hurt again."

"And what if you can't?"

"Then I'll go back with you. We can go wherever you want. I don't object anymore, okay?"

The daughter's bright eyes begged her pitifully, no matter how firm Yang's attitude was, she was weak now.

"Then, then we can talk about it."

"What's the matter, mother still wants Mu'er to write you a letter to guarantee it?"

Ling Mu'er made a joke, which made Yang Shi, who was still in tears just now, instantly happy.

Only then did the family breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, everyone was reluctant to leave. After all, it is not easy to settle in one place. A servant stretched his neck hurriedly, "Then, masters and ladies, can we put the things back?"

"Let's go, let's go, what are you doing in a daze, where did you come from and where to put it, you all worked hard just now, this lady will give everyone extra meals tonight, and everyone will have a reward!"

It's been a good year, and it's been a rough one. Ling Mu'er plans to cook something they haven't eaten before and calm down everyone's flattered hearts.

Hearing the master's words, the servants, who were downcast just now, suddenly became motivated and shouted in unison, "Miss Xie, thank you."

Ling Mu'er handed a piece of paper in front of Ling Dazhi, "Father, this is the house I asked Xiaojun Wang to find for me yesterday. You and your uncle will go and check it out tomorrow. If it's okay, we'll buy it right away. We need to hurry up on the western restaurant." Organize."

Ling Dazhi was stunned, "We still open a western restaurant at this point?"

Yang Dayong also looked at Ling Mu'er in disbelief, "What you're thinking about in the prison is not how to ask the little county king to rescue you, but to let him find a house for you?"
