The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 192 Qingluan sneaks in

It snowed heavily at night.

Early in the morning of the next day, when the sky was slightly brightened and Jingshu and Li Ling were still sleeping soundly, they heard Ling Xiao calling from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, His Highness has just sent someone to look for you, saying that he has something to tell you. .”

The two of them were woken up by Ling Xiao. Li Ling opened his eyes and muttered in confusion: "What a strange thing. Why is the prince looking for me this early in the morning?"

With that said, he stood up, put on his clothes, and said to Jingshu: "I'll come as soon as I can, and you can sleep a little longer. There is a polo match today, and I will take you to watch the match in the second half of the day."

Jing Shu nestled in the warm quilt and nodded towards Li Ling: "Even if the prince invites you, please go quickly. If you have something to do and you can't come back, there is no need to come back in a hurry. We can just go and watch the game ourselves."

Li Ling glanced at his little wife's sleepy look and felt an itch in his heart. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her face again and again.

Before going out, Li Ling was worried that his wife would be cold, so he added more charcoal fire to the stove.

Where could Jing Shu still sleep? With a woman's intuition, she felt that the person who came to look for Li Ling at this time was definitely not the prince. It was most likely Qingluan who came to look for Li Ling in the name of the prince in order to cover up other people's eyes.

The more Jingshu thought about it, the less at ease she felt. She stood up, put on her clothes, and followed her out of the tent.

Although Li Ling has gone far, because it snowed just last night, the footprints Li Ling just left on the thick snow are clearly visible.

It's not that she doesn't trust Li Ling and wants to watch him, but that in her current situation, she can't just hide behind Li Ling and have to be passive and aware of everything.

Although she knew that Qingluan was paranoid and what he said yesterday might not be true, Jingshu couldn't be so heartless and not take it to heart at all.

She must at least be informed about some things that are related to her interests.

Jingshu followed the footprints left by Li Ling for a long time, and finally caught a glimpse of Li Ling in a hidden forest.

As Jingshu expected, it was Qingluan who came looking for him.

The two were talking face to face. In order to hear their conversation clearly, Jingshu quietly hid behind a big tree not far from them.

Li Ling's voice was full of anger: "What are you doing? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing such an outrageous thing under the eyes of the Holy Emperor and the Concubine?"

Qingluan hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, cousin, this place is so remote, no one else will know."

Li Ling said coldly: "Why are you looking for me? Tell me quickly."

Qingluan seemed to be crying again, with a hint of sobs in his voice: "Cousin, do you really not care about me at all now?"

When Li Ling saw her saying this again, he turned around and left.

Qingluan quickly stepped forward to stop him, crying: "Can you just listen to what I have to say?"

Li Ling replied: "If you say this, don't mention it again. If you don't care about yourself, I still care about the century-old reputation of the Zhenguo Palace."

Hearing Li Ling say such heartless words, Qingluan was so angry that his shoulders heaved violently, and he said angrily: "I really don't understand what kind of ecstasy soup that Mrs. Shen poured into you, so that you would not care about anything for her."

"I heard that my grandmother planned to give you a concubine, but you refused. So Shen can't give birth to an heir for you. Do you want to have no offspring? Huh! By doing this, you are caring about the Duke of Zhen's palace? You have Have you not thought about the future consequences?"

Li Ling rolled his eyes at Qingluan: "This is my Li family's business and has nothing to do with you!"

After saying these words coldly, Li Ling raised his legs and walked away.

Seeing that Li Ling was about to leave, Qingluan was so anxious that he stepped forward and grabbed his arm tightly regardless of propriety, and said anxiously: "Cousin, please listen to what I have to say."

Li Ling turned pale with anger, took her hand away angrily, and said angrily: "You should understand your duty."

Qingluan started crying again, sobbing, as if he was about to lose his temper at any moment: "What's wrong with me wanting to marry the person I like? I'm the same age as Qingyuan, and she has wanted to since she was a child.

I have nothing, nothing is as good as him, I just want you, this is my only thought. I only have one wish, but you can't make it come true."

Qingluan cried so hard that she grabbed Li Ling's lapel and begged humbly: "Cousin, if you can't let go of Shen, I won't force you to abandon her. Aren't you going to march south in a while? I'll wait.

When you return in triumph, please beg your father to let me marry you and become your equal wife. I will serve you together with Shen, and I promise to live in harmony with her and not to embarrass you, okay?"

Li Ling heard her shameless words and was so angry that he raised his arms and violently threw her away.

Qingluan staggered and fell into the snow, her body and hands covered with residual snow. She lay on the ground in a panic, but refused to get up on her own. She just looked up at Li Ling with tearful eyes.

Now Li Ling was extremely disappointed with this cousin. Seeing her in such a mess, Li Ling didn't feel soft at all. He just said to her with a cold face: "Don't say that I already have a beloved wife, even if I haven't married a wife yet, I can't do it."

I will definitely not marry you, please give me a break as soon as possible."

Li Ling said this from the bottom of his heart.

He hated shameless women the most. Zhou Qing annoyed him. Compared to Zhou Qing, this cousin was even worse and disgusted him even more.

How could he, Li Ling, fall in love with such a woman?

In his aesthetic view, a good woman should be like his wife, noble and self-loving, kind and virtuous, gentle and

In short, in Li Ling's eyes, his wife is good in every way. A woman like Zhou Qing Qingluan is not even as good as a toe of his wife.

It's not that he is a saint or a kindhearted person, but that he really despises these people from the bottom of his heart.

Qingluan saw that Li Ling had no intention of pitying her at all. She slowly got up from the cold snow, wiped the tears on her face, and said with a sneer: "Cousin, if you refuse to ask Father to issue an edict,

When you return from your southern expedition, I will go and beg your father."

Li Ling was really worried that his paranoid cousin would do such a thing. He was so anxious that his voice became sharp: "How dare you!"

Qingluan smiled and said: "I have nothing, so what's the point of fear? Besides, I don't believe that the emperor's aunt will let you die for the sake of the Shen family."

Jingshu, who was hiding behind the tree, heard these words clearly.

If Qingluan goes to ask the emperor for an order, then Li Ling will have to accept her even if he doesn't want to accept her. Even if Li Ling doesn't have her in his heart, Jing Shu can't imagine living under the same roof with such a paranoid woman.

What would that life be like.

There is also the attitude of the eldest princess. If she also supports Li Ling marrying Qingluan, it will be even worse for her.

These are the things that Jing Shu worries about the most.

After listening to Qingluan's words, her breathing became rapid and she moved forward involuntarily.

At this moment, a bird "soared" from the tree, and the falling snow chunks hit Jingshu squarely on the head.

She was listening attentively to Li Ling Qingluan's conversation. She was startled by this sudden blow and exclaimed "Ah". Then, her foot slipped and she fell into a hole under the tree.

In the snow vortex.
