Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

In summer nights, there is always the long chirping of cicadas disturbing the tranquility, but it is full of vitality. Rong Ling meditates in front of the window under the moonlight. There were ups and downs in a hundred turns, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

There were many deep forests near the paddock, and there were insects and birds singing. Zhi Jinwei was sent by Pei Qingyang to catch insects with a net.The guard who holds the gold dares to be angry and dare not speak out. The guards in the dignified palace are all men who are worth one to a hundred. Even though they are serving the queen, they feel aggrieved, not to mention that the forest is so big and so far away. I can hear you.

Rong Ling packed up and went to the queen's bedroom, knelt outside the door to appease the head, "I have come to ask the mother to resign."

Eunuch An came over and opened the door, and heard the Queen's voice coming from inside, "What is Ling'er doing? You can't get angry with me."

"I don't dare." She said, "The war in the north of the river is not over, and I feel uneasy, so I resigned from your majesty and hurried back to Wucheng to observe the military situation. I will go back with peace of mind when the situation stabilizes and the rebels can be wiped out."

"You can make such a decision that really makes me look at you differently." The empress taught in a satisfied tone, "Being the crown prince is to set an example for the army, but I still hope that you will be more careful not to lose your ability for a while."

"I will always remember Your Majesty's instruction." Rong Ling kowtowed her head to thank her, "I will take my leave."

"Go."

Eunuch An closed the door again, cut off the sound of playing from inside, Pei Qingyang became more and more skillful at flattering, Eunuch An walked back without looking sideways, and was sent out not long after.At this time, Rong Ling had already stepped on her horse and left the Huluo paddock with the mighty imperial army, and when she came out of the forest, she could still see the busy figure of Zhijinwei.

The official of the East Palace who accompanied him said, "The commander of the Golden Guard has spent a lot of time in clinging to Pei Qingyang, and came up with such an idea to please Pei Qingyang in order to show his loyalty. One more person like this is a danger to the court. "

Rong Ling raised her eyebrows lightly, and asked, "So in your opinion?"

But he leaned close to Rong Ling's ear and asked, "Your Highness, do you really want to go back to Wucheng again?"

Although Rong Ling had a smile on her brows, it made people feel a sense of coldness, she said, "Although it is a skill to be kind, but it will also follow Yuan's footsteps."

The official immediately fell silent and didn't dare to say another word. The Yuan family is an old story in the Western Zhou Dynasty, few people know the inside story, but he knew that the Yuan family died because of talking too much. His eyes were bright and he raised his eyes to look far away, only feeling a coercion from the top of his head, and he didn't dare to think too much.

At the fork in the road, Rong Ling ordered to return east to Nanyang City, and the soldiers were used to obeying without asking why, the Huluo Paddock was only a hundred miles away from Nanyang City. Rong Ling ordered an overnight march, but they rushed back to Nanyang City in two and a half days.She ordered the imperial guards who came back with her to station outside the city to rest, but she only brought a small group of people into the city on galloping horses.

After entering Nanyang City, Rong Ling didn't go back to the palace first and went directly to the Changning Palace. From a long distance, she saw that the Changning Palace was heavily surrounded without revealing any gaps.An and Lu also saw her from a long distance, and when she approached Shi Li said, "Why did His Highness come back so soon, but captured King Jingyuan?"

She said, "When the rebels fled to the south bank, there is Qingping in charge on the north bank." She paused, and looked at An and Lu, "As for why this palace rushed back, Commander An has a good idea."

Commander An hurriedly said, "It is His Majesty's order that no one can visit."

Rong Ling's eyes fell on An and Lu's faces, sharp and majestic, "Commander An thinks that he can stop me by His Majesty's will, so you can try it."

An and Lu hurriedly cupped their hands and apologized, "The last general dare not." He invited Rong Ling to the gate of the palace before saying again, "Please, Your Highness."

Rong Ling's eyes glanced at him very faintly, and he stepped into the gate of the palace, but after half a month, it was deserted, the eaves were covered with dust, and the courtyard was covered with layers of fallen leaves, and the prosperity was swept away in an instant.A servant was watching her from a distance in the corridor, with a look of fear, hiding behind the pillars, thinking that she could block her figure, when Rong Ling moved her gaze to that side, she acted like a frightened bird again, unable to bear it. A little trouble.

Bai Qingtong jumped down from the top of a towering tower, and Jing Hao hurried forward to check nervously, for fear that such a high place would throw the girl badly, and the princess would blame her for it.Bai Qingtong shook her head to indicate that she was fine, her expression was usual cold and dull, but there was a rare worry in her eyes.

This is an eight-treasure pagoda in the east corner of Nanyang City. The tower is as high as a cloud and its tip stands like a needle. Standing there, you can have a panoramic view of Nanyang City. Naturally, you can also see the Changning Palace. She saw Rong Ling walk into the gate of the palace and turn a corner. It's hard to get a glimpse of the figure, no accident, he should go to the Wuhuayuan to look for Rong Cheng, but unfortunately no matter how high it is here, he can only get a rough look.

She remembered that a few days ago she practiced swords in Wuxiangyuan as usual, but Jinghao came in from outside the courtyard early in the morning and said that the princess ordered her to take her to Lincheng to enjoy the flowers, and asked her to pack up and leave immediately.She has always been obedient to Rong Cheng's decision, not to mention that Jing Hao told him that he was not in doubt, but after the carriage arrived in Lincheng, Rong Cheng was not seen, Lin Lang waited for a long time.

The moment she saw Lin Lang, she asked with her eyes, and Lin Lang responded with a natural expression, "The princess said that I have something to do in the court and come back later, so let Lin Lang and Jing Hao accompany the girl to play around."

Bai Qingtong clearly had doubts, but she didn't like to ask more questions. She thought that Rong Cheng had no other skills, so she followed Jinghao all the way south, until she realized that this was the way back to Yongzhou City, and then called Jinghao to ask questions.

She spoke with a cool and pleasant voice, "But something happened to Ah Cheng?"

Jinghao was a little embarrassed and could only look away from her, "Where is the girl thinking, what can happen to the princess in the capital?"

She only asked again, "Jing Hao, why did she order you to take me back to Yongzhou City?"

"Girl, you can follow us with peace of mind, the princess will not harm you."

"Although I don't understand the current affairs of the court, I have also noticed that Ah Cheng has a worried look on his face in the past few days. Why does Jing Hao keep it from me?"

Jing Hao talked about him from left to right, "How can I know about the master's affairs as a servant, not to mention that the master is extremely intelligent and there are few things that can hinder her, so don't worry, girl."

Bai Qingtong still said quietly, "If it is not a last resort, she will not let you send me back to Yongzhou City."

Jing laughed and said, "Where is going back to Yongzhou City, the princess asked us to play with the girl."

Bai Qingtong refused to give an inch, which is rare, "Then why are you only on the way but not playing?"

Jinghao has been by Bai Qingtong's side for a long time, and she is used to her reticence, and she doesn't like to ask too much. The girl's temperament has always been deserted, as if she doesn't care about everything, and she follows the crowd without saying a word, wherever the princess tells her to go, but never Knowing that the girl is stubborn and you will get to the bottom of it even if you talk about it, I can only sigh and lose the battle.

Jing Hao said, "The girl guessed right that something happened to the palace. When Lin Lang came, he brought the news that the palace has been sealed up by His Majesty. Five thousand imperial troops were mobilized to guard the palace and keep everyone in the palace. They are not allowed to enter or leave without authorization."

Bai Qingtong stood up suddenly and said, "Go back to Nanyang City."

"Girl, since the princess sent the girl out, she was afraid that she would be implicated for no reason. Wouldn't it be a waste of the princess' painstaking effort to go back?"

Bai Qingtong looked into Jing Hao's eyes, her eyes were cold but with imperceptible affection, she asked, "Jing Hao, are you worried about Ah Cheng?"

"Wouldn't you be worried if the palace is in trouble?"

"Then let's go back."

"Girl." Jing Hao knelt in front of Bai Qingtong and said, "Before I left, the princess asked me to bring the girl a word. The princess said that the girl belonged to Qingshan and she involved her in the mortal world with her own desires. Unfortunately, the mortal world ended in danger. It's not suitable for Gao Jie's girl, and Qingshan is where the girl belongs. Therefore, Jinghao begs the girl not to let down the kindness of the princess."

"In this case, I'll go back to the city alone." She started walking towards the door, Jinghao got up and tried to stop her, but she was stopped by acupuncture points with Changyue, Jinghao couldn't react at all, "You can't stop me."

Lin Lang, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, knew she couldn't hide, so she entered the house, and first confessed to Bai Qingtong, "Don't blame the girl, it's Lin Lang's curiosity." Seeing that Bai Qingtong's face was normal, she untied it for Jinghao. Acupuncture, and said, "Sister, since the girl has found out that the two of us are not the girl's opponent, why not accompany the girl back to Beijing."

Jing Hao remembered Rong Cheng's instructions, and was in a dilemma, "But the princess has something to say that we must send the girl back."

"Sister, what time do you still think about what to do? Who doesn't worry about the princess along the way. We have been with the princess since we were young. How can you feel at ease if the princess is in trouble and we just live by it?"

Jinghao thought about it and had to compromise and sighed, "Then we will drive back overnight, even if the princess blames the crime, we are willing to be punished." The three of them rode their horses and ran all the way back to Nanyang City.

It has been two days since her thoughts came back to Nanyang City, Jing Hao saw that she was frowning slightly and didn't know where she wanted to go, so she asked, "It's still unnoticed by the girl to sneak into the palace, why didn't the girl go?"

Bai Qingtong said, "Since sending me away can make her feel at ease, I will wait here for her to get through this calamity."

Jing Hao said again, "I believe that the princess will have a way to turn the palace into good fortune. Girl, don't worry too much. The food is going to be cold, girl, hurry up and use it."

Bai Qingtong nodded his thanks and went back to the house for dinner. At this time, Rong Ling also walked to the Wuhuayuan. Today Rong Cheng was in a good mood, and the winter song and the zither sang in harmony, and the lingering sound lingered.

Rong Ling raised her brows with a slight smile, "An Le is the one who can calm down the most, and she can still be so leisurely after things have happened."

Rong Cheng's eyes were bright and there was a smile at the corners of his eyes, "How did the emperor come back to the capital when she was not in Wucheng or Huluo Paddock?" She raised her hand to calm down the quivering strings, glanced at the few people in the courtyard, and said, "You go back first."

Rong Ling raised her eyebrows again, and the people around Rong Che quickly exited the small courtyard, leaving only her here looking at each other silently.Rong Ling couldn't decide what else Rong Cheng had in mind, so she just searched her face with her eyes without any trace. After searching for a moment, she couldn't find any clues. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would hit her right, so she kept silent, after all, it was her who was in danger at the moment. .

Rong Cheng guessed what Rong Ling was thinking and stepped down the stairs, saying, "I thought it would take some talking to get the emperor to accept it, but I didn't expect that the emperor had already moved her mind."

Rong Ling's expression froze, and she said coldly, "You know that I can punish you to death right now."

Rong Cheng smiled slightly, and pressed her step by step, "Miss Huang was joking, I didn't say anything about the death penalty, not to mention that my death penalty would have been decided a long time ago with His Majesty."

"You also know your current situation." Rong Ling opened her round eyes and said angrily, "You still have the time to hide the needle in these words with me, I just ask you, why do you think I will do that, as long as I can rest assured and wait The days are mine and always mine."

"Since this is the case, you might as well talk to Huang Jie directly." Rong Cheng got up and walked to Fusang, her eyes were covered with ice and snow but she didn't want Rong Ling to notice, "If Huang Jie really thinks so, she won't bring the imperial army back to Beijing." Her voice was gentle and orderly, and she couldn't hear too many emotions, "Pei Qingyang flattered the Lord with His Majesty's current attitude, and the imperial sister became more and more uneasy. Then Ah Che will die at His Majesty's hands sooner or later, this is what Huang Jie knows best."

"Ah Cheng, you have been able to see everything clearly since you were a child." Rong Ling chose a shady place to sit down, "It's rare for you to have such ups and downs of emotions. It seems that you really value Rong Cunshan very much."

Rong Cheng turned around to look back at Rong Ling, and still said in a gentle voice, "He not only saved me but also grew up with me, my brother treated me very well, so I will naturally avenge him."

"Nowadays, His Majesty's behavior is becoming more and more unpredictable. I am not worried that His Majesty will deprive me of my position in the Eastern Palace. I am worried that Pei Qingyang will be full of ambition and desire." Rong Ling had a wry smile on his face, "I went to the Huluo Paddock to replace me. The Chang Ning Palace begged for mercy, and did not want to be reprimanded by His Majesty, and Pei Qingyang was laughing at me from the side of His Majesty at that time, so it can be seen that His Majesty has already treated this person beyond the ordinary, and if things go on like this, things will change in the future."

"Miss Huang's considerations are quite reasonable. Now that all the gold guards in the palace are in Pei Qingyang's hands, if he wants to do things in the palace, it will be very easy." Rong Cheng asked with a smile, "So once you return to the city, Miss Huang Then come to find out what I mean?"

"You, knowing why I came to you, you want me to say it myself so that I can clean myself up." Rong Ling reached out and tapped her tall nose, "Of course I came to you to hear how you and I talked. An and Lu?"

"Tiger Talisman."

Rong Ling played with the tiger amulet on his waist, "This thing alone is not enough. An and Lu and their fathers were both the commanders of the imperial army, which is really rare in all dynasties. All extraordinary."

Rong Cheng continued, "It is because of this that it is easier to shake his heart." Seeing Rong Ling's eyebrows raised slightly and her eyes questioning, she smiled and said, "Father and son both ordered the forbidden army, and they are well-known in the four countries. He returned from the frontier experience After Beijing, he has been guarding the palace city and has won His Majesty's trust, but now Pei Qingyang has charmed the Lord with a bit of charm, and with the Golden Guard in his hand, he has been pushed out of the imperial court. If you were an imperial sister, would you be able to swallow this breath? "

Rong Ling frowned a little, worried, "An and Lu are not so narrow-minded. If His Majesty despises Pei Qingyang, he will naturally return to the imperial court. After all, the fact of the current discussion is for conspiracy. He doesn't have to follow me. Take this risk." She looked towards Rong Cheng, and said, "Besides, if he secretly tells His Majesty to make meritorious service, I will follow suit."

Rong Cheng smiled and said, "Miss Huang has a lot of worries." She naturally knew that Rong Ling was different from her, she had to put all her eggs in one basket and take risks, and Rong Linggui's success as the crown prince Pei Qingyang was nothing more than a face, she Just bear with it for a while so that, like An and Lu, regaining the Sacred Heart is only a matter of time.

Naturally, Rong Ling also knew that she was different from Rong Cheng, Chang Ning's palace was at stake, and Rong Cheng's move was on the line, and if she was willing to let go of her usual pride and lie dormant, even Pei Qingyang would not be able to stir up a big storm.But just like An and Lu, she has her own weaknesses, just like her saying that you are the crown prince, that is her insurmountable bottom line.

For a while, neither of them would speak first, Rong Cheng had his own words to force her to submit, Rong Ling was arrogant since she was a child, how could she condescend to others.Rong Ling also had her own reasons for her difficulty, although she could bear the humiliation, but in the end she refused to see Rong Cheng's trouble.Rong Cheng's refusal to open his mouth is naturally because of his sisterhood, and he does not want to persecute her step by step with cunning and cunning. Rong Ling's refusal to open his mouth is naturally due to her pride. Since she is willing to rush back and go straight to the Changning Palace, there is no turning back. Lu Rongcheng did it again Why worry.

It was time for the imperial guards around the palace to change their guards again, and their orderly pace was interrupted, and the sound of the dripping water urged away the evening time. Both of them were very patient people, and they sat down as soon as it got dark, and no one was about to be defeated. .But I don't know why this time it was Rong Ling who was the first to lose. Compared to Rong Cheng, she was the one who opened the bow, but she said, "Why didn't you see that white girl of yours?"

"It has nothing to do with her."

Seeing Rong Cheng's rare cold face and temper with himself, he was angry and funny, "I'm not allowed to think carefully about the serious crime of treason?"

Rong Cheng's words turned into a helpless sigh, "Because I knew that the emperor was in a difficult situation, I didn't use more words to force me. The emperor knows that when the life and death of the palace are at stake, I still don't want to hurt the relationship between you and me." What's more, I feel relieved that the imperial sister is willing to come back."

Hearing her words, Rong Ling was touched, the humane royal family is ruthless, if it is really ruthless, how could she be here, she opened her mouth and said to the door, "Xia Feng, go and invite An and Lu to come in."
