Luoyang Brocade Chapter 62: Insider
The waterway in the next few days was uneventful and smooth.
The noble grandson of the emperor spent most of his time in the cabin reading books to pass the time, and rarely came out to move around.
Although Ling Jingshu had the intention to surrender, she was cautious and did not act rashly.
From what Ling Jingyan said, it can be seen that the young emperor's grandson is cold-hearted and ruthless, and is definitely not a master who is easy to fool. She must plan carefully, lest she fail to seek revenge and instead arouse suspicion.
In the past few days, she had been staying in the cabin, either with Ling Xiao or chatting with Ling Jingyan and the Jiang family, quietly asking about the emperor's grandson without leaving a trace.
Chiang and the emperor's grandson are distant cousins. Although they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, they know much more about Ling Jingyan's affairs than Ling Jingyan.
"...Ayan told you that His Highness Taisun once fought against the palace maids and sent the subordinate officials of the East Palace to the prison!" Mrs. Jiang smiled meaningfully: "There are some things Don’t just look at the surface.”
Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed and she asked tentatively: "My cousin said this, is there something inside?"
Ling Jingyan also pricked up her ears curiously.
Sitting on the boat all day is really boring. Besides, there are no outsiders here. Jiang generously told the true story that he knew: "The last time I went to my cousin's house to pay my respects, I occasionally heard my cousin say a few words..."
The uncle Jiang mentioned was none other than the British Duke Jiang Ye.
The late Empress Chiang came from the British Duke's palace. The British Duke, who held a heavy military position and high authority, had close contacts with the Prince's Palace. It is not surprising to know the secrets in the Prince's Palace.
"... I heard from my uncle that the maid was sent to the Prince's Mansion as a reward from the Queen. She relied on the Queen's support to brazenly act as the eyes and ears of the palace. His Highness Taisun deliberately He found a high-sounding reason to punish her. The Queen was angry, but she could do nothing."
Jiang’s eyes were filled with admiration.
After Empress Jiang died of illness, the emperor appointed Empress Xu as the head of the Sixth Palace. Empress Xu has both holy support and means, and now the harem has already become her world.
Empress Xu became more and more careless in doing things, and rewarded maids to the princes' mansions openly and openly. The princes knew that this was the spy sent by Queen Xu, so they had to endure it.
The emperor's grandson refused to bear this sulk. Empress Xu's ears and eyes were removed using the same fair and upright method. After the palace maid committed suicide. He took the initiative to enter the palace to "please apologize".
What else can Queen Xu do?
You can't fall out with the emperor's grandson just because of a palace maid!
Queen Xu could only hold her nose and endure the suffocation.
......
Ling Jingyan was amazed when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, listen to what you say. This great grandson is really amazing!"
"Of course." Jiang's tone showed a bit of pride. Turning his eyes, he saw Ling Jingshu looking thoughtful: "Ah Shu, what are you thinking about?"
Ling Jingshu said slowly: "I was thinking that the Empress has placed spies in various palaces. There must be more than one palace maid on the surface! By doing this, His Highness the Grand Sun is clearly trying to scare the monkeys. It is also a hint to the Empress. If it happens again If you put your hand into the prince's palace, this is the only palace maid who will die."
"I guess, after this, some servants were secretly dismissed from the Prince's Mansion!"
Chiang: "..."
Chiang's eyes were full of astonishment and exclamation: "You are right...I heard these things from my uncle. You have never been to the capital, and you have never met your grandson. And the Queen, how did you guess it?"
Ling Jingyan couldn't help but widen her eyes.
How did Ah Shu guess these things?
Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: "In fact, it's not difficult to guess. You just need to think carefully and you will know."
Ling Jingyan pouted: "I can't guess these things."
Ling Jingshu was not angry either, and smiled at Ling Jingyan: "You only hear these things as stories. You have never thought about them deeply. Of course you can't think of them."
That tolerant look and tone were like coaxing a child.
Obviously she is one year older, but when it comes to Ling Jingshu, she is always the one who makes trouble unreasonably...
Ling Jingyan was too embarrassed to make any further quarrels, so she changed the subject unnaturally: "Sister-in-law, I hear what you mean, is there some secret behind the fact that the official of the East Palace was sent to the prison?"
Even the Jiang family did not know the details of this matter: "This cousin did not go into details. He only said disapprovingly when he heard that His Highness Taisun was rebellious and contradicted the prince. Ignorant idiot!"
Ling Jingyan was confused when she heard this, and when she looked at Ling Jingshu again, she had a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Ah Shu, what do you understand?" Ling Jingyan couldn't help but ask.
Ling Jingshu frowned slightly, and soon relaxed: "Since he is an official of the East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince must protect him. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the officials who are interested in the Crown Prince. Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward to do it. This evil man. In this way, you can deal with your subordinates without being blamed."
"Perhaps, this official who was sent to the sky prison has been secretly attracted by someone and has developed a second heart. His Highness Taisun had noticed it a long time ago and deliberately grabbed his sore foot and sent him to the sky prison. The main messenger in the dark suffered a secret loss and could not say a word."
Chiang: "..."
Ling Jingyan: "..."
The two of them looked at Ling Jingshu with the same weird eyes.
Ling Jingshu laughed dumbly: "I just said it casually, it may not be right. Why are you looking at me like this?"
Chiang was the first to speak: "I was thinking that it would be a pity for you to be so smart and sharp as a woman."
Ling Jingyan also took a long breath and sighed sincerely: "Ah Shu, I will never be jealous of you again."
This is not the difference between wild flowers and peonies, it is simply the distance between fireflies and the bright moon in the sky! ! !
......
While chatting and laughing~IndoMTL.com~ Ling Ji walked in with a smile: "What are you talking about so happily? I can hear your laughter from a distance."
Ling Jingyan said with a smile: "We women cannot let you know about the topics we women discuss together."
Ling Ji laughed: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess it. You guys got together just now, you must be talking about His Highness the Grand Sun."
In fact, it is not just them. In the past few days, the name Emperor Taisun has appeared more frequently in the mouths of Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun.
Ms. Jiang pursed her lips and smiled: "You came to us specially just to say this, right?"
Ling Ji's face straightened, and he said seriously: "We will sail for a few days, and we will reach Luoyang by water in three or four days. His Highness Taisun ordered the boat to dock at the dock so that we can buy fresh meat and vegetables. I am here. I want to ask you, do you want to go to the pier to relax?"
Everyone: "..." (To be continued.)
