Loyang Jin

Queen Xu said nothing, and Ling Jingshu kept kneeling like this.

Kneeling on the smooth and cold ground, my knees ached.

Queen Xu really came with bad intentions. Today, he specially summoned her to Jiaofang Palace, obviously with bad intentions... Ling Jingshu's heart slowly sank.

I don't know how long it took before Queen Xu calmly said: "Get back on your feet!"

"Thank you, Queen." Ling Jingshu opened her mouth to thank her, and then stood up.

After kneeling for so long, my knees were sore and numb. When he stood up, his body swayed slightly. Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and stabilized her body.

He stood up straight and lowered his eyes slightly, taking in the full view of Queen Xu's face.

When they first met, Queen Xu had a charming face, elegant yet kind.

This time there were no outsiders present, and Empress Xu was obviously not in the mood to act. A pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness and unkindness.

Is it for King Yan? Or... for Dr. Wei?

Ling Jingshu was thinking secretly in her heart, but her expression was calm as usual, and she just stood with her hands lowered. Queen Xu didn't make a sound, so she just stood quietly.

After a long silent confrontation, Queen Xu suddenly opened her mouth coldly: "Ling Jingshu, do you know your guilt?"

He sounded like he was inciting an army to accuse him.

Ling Jingshu responded calmly: "Why did the Empress suddenly say this? I really don't know what mistake I made. Please make it clear."

Queen Xu sneered, with a hint of chill in her voice: "Since I have asked, I will not wrongly accuse you. You don't have to pretend to be stupid anymore. If you don't admit your mistake today, I will not spare you!"

When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly rose a little higher, and his eyes were cold and murderous.

Ling Jingshu's heart suddenly sank. Queen Xu's appearance was definitely not pretending, but she really had murderous intentions. This level will never be easy today! She must gather all her energy to deal with it, otherwise, she would never be able to walk out of Jiaofang Palace safely!

"Queen, please calm down."

Ling Jingshu thought about lightning in her mind, and quickly changed her expression to a look of fear and uneasiness, and knelt down to plead guilty: "The People's Women's Committee really doesn't know what is going on. Even if the Queen wants to be punished, the People's Women should find out clearly."

Empress Xu snorted softly and said with a smile: "What a sharp-tongued girl! No wonder she can make King Yan fascinated, and even take the initiative to come to me for you. If I don't agree, I will It hurts the relationship between mother and son, but if I really agree to it, I will feel even more depressed."

It turned out to be because King Yan was furious!

Ling Jingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and said, "The Queen, please listen to the explanation of the civilian daughter."

"The daughter of the people brought her brother to the capital to cure his eye disease. It was a coincidence that she met His Highness King Yan. The daughter of the people knew that her status was low, and she never thought about climbing up a dragon or a phoenix, let alone getting close to Yan. King. I don’t even know that His Highness Prince Yan would say this to the Queen. Please be careful.”

Empress Xu continued to sneer: "You are so clever! King Yan grew up in the palace and was used to seeing all kinds of beauties. Now there is no shortage of beauties around him. If you hadn't taken the initiative to seduce, how could King Yan never forget you? , I insist on marrying you as my concubine, and you even asked me to do so in person? "

It is obviously not possible to reason with the most defensive and arrogant person in the world.

In Empress Xu's eyes, King Yan was extremely good, and there was nothing wrong with him. It was of course her fault that King Yan wanted to marry her, she must have taken the initiative to seduce him! If she had said something like, "I have no intention of marrying King Yan," Queen Xu would only sneer in response and not listen to her explanation at all.

Thinking further, Queen Xu's sudden attack was probably not just for King Yan.

To Empress Xu, it was of little importance for her son to marry another concubine. What really makes Empress Xu jealous is the seemingly ambiguous relationship between her and Wei Yan!

However, this cannot be expressed verbally. As a result, King Yan became Queen Xu's excuse for deliberately making trouble.

After figuring this out, Ling Jingshu's heart suddenly became clear.

Ling Jingshu suppressed the anger in her heart and raised her head, with complex emotions of shame, inferiority, and loneliness in her eyes.

If eyes could speak, Ling Jingshu's eyes at this moment were it.

Queen Xu, however, was hard-hearted and unmoved: "What, do you have nothing to say?"

Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed with water, she bit her lips hard, and then she opened her mouth and said: "Queen, the daughter of the people has a huge secret. Only the grandmother and father at home know this secret. Now, the daughter of the people wants to tell this secret Tell the Empress the secret. After the Empress hears it, she will know the difficulties of the people."

Queen Xu's appetite was also whetted, and her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? What is the secret?"

Ling Jingshu begged: "Queen, please let the servants step aside first."

Queen Xu's face turned cold: "Ling Jingshu, what do you mean? If I and you are the only ones left in the dormitory, wouldn't I be in danger if you suddenly hurt someone?"

Ling Jingshu showed a bitter smile: "The empress said this, and the daughter of the people was frightened. Even if the daughter of the people was given more courage, the daughter of the people would never dare to do anything that would hurt Fengti. This secret is related to the reputation of the daughter of the people. , It’s really not appropriate for too many people to know. If the Queen insists on refusing, then the daughter of the people will have nothing to say.”

After saying that, he closed his mouth, as if he didn't intend to open his mouth again.

But every woman is always curious.

Queen Xu is no exception.

The more tight-lipped Ling Jingshu was, the more intense her curiosity became.

"That's it!" Queen Xu said solemnly with a sullen face: "I will give you one chance. If you dare to tease me, I will never give you mercy!"

…

Empress Xu winked, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing aside filed away.

After the door of the dormitory was closed, only Queen Xu lying on the bed and Ling Jingshu kneeling in front of the bed were left in the dormitory.

If we take advantage of this moment, how likely is it to kill Queen Xu?

This tempting thought suddenly came to mind, and was almost immediately suppressed by reason.

Not to mention that she was defenseless, even if she suddenly stood up and strangled Queen Xu's neck, as soon as Queen Xu struggled, the palace maid waiting outside the door would immediately rush in. Even if she could kill Empress Xu, she would never be able to escape from the palace, and would also bring harm to the Ling family and the imperial physician Wei Jieyu and her sister.

Queen Xu raised her eyebrows a little impatiently: "Okay, now it's as you wish! Why don't you come quickly!"

Ling Jingshu composed herself, with a sad look on her face: "The Queen is willing to listen to the people's daughter, and the people's daughter is very grateful. This matter is a long story, and it starts a few months ago..."
