The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 346 Conspiracy against Jing Shu

Li Xiang entered Jiao Xing's room. Jiao Xing was sitting on the couch picking beans with her maids Xiaomei and Su Yue.

When the three masters and servants saw Li Xiang coming in, they all stood up in unison. Xiaomei quickly poked Su Yue beside her and whispered: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and pour tea for the third master?"

Only then did Suyue react, agreed and left, and Xiaomei followed her out of the house.

Li Xiang then walked towards Jiao Xing, pulled her to sit down on the couch, and asked: "Pick these beans, but do you want to make mung bean cakes again?"

Jiao Xing looked at Li Xiang, nodded, and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Over the years, although Li Xiang has been thinking about Jiao Xing every day and night, in order to hide his love from others, he only comes here once or twice a month, and he usually catches up with Mu Xiu and has plenty of time.

It comes only when the time comes. If you are on duty during the day like this, and when you return in the evening, you will naturally be by Pingyang's side.

Li Xiang replied to Jiao Xing: "She has gone to her uncle's house and will stay there for a few days."

When Jiao Xing heard this, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting. She sighed slightly and said: "Even so, you can't be here with me. There are so many people with so many eyes. If Madam knows about it, you still can't."

OK."

Li Xiang took advantage of the situation and held Jiao Xing in his arms, murmuring: "I just want to see you so much, please allow me to stay with you for a while."

——

On the tenth day after Li Ling left, Jingshu finally received the family letter from him. When the doorkeeper brought the family letter to Jingshu, he also brought a private letter from Princess Lanling of the Zhongshun Marquis Mansion.

Jingshu couldn't wait to open Li Ling's home letter. Li Ling told Jingshu in the letter that he had arrived in Fancheng in the northwest and was making arrangements to recapture the city occupied by the rebels soon. Li Ling said that everything was fine with him, so he

She didn't need to worry about it, and specifically asked Jingshu to wait for his return at home.

Jing Shu originally guessed that this person would be Empress Cao, because Ling Xiao grew up in a deep palace and was familiar with the people in the palace, so Jing Shu ordered Ling Xiao to disguise herself.

"Ms. Shen, you didn't expect it was me, did you?" The attendant kicked open the door, and Zhou Qing walked into the house with a cold hum.

The ladies in the palace all wear single beads, while only concubines can wear double beads.

Ling Xiao entered the private room that Lan Ling had prepared in advance, quickly took off her women's clothes, put on men's clothes, turned out the window, and saw Zhou Qing and others clearly through the peephole.

If these people were sent by Empress Cao, they would definitely not include concubines.

After listening to Jing Shu's words, Liang Xiao nodded and affirmed: "I can see clearly that these people are disguised, but judging from their figures and faces, they must be martial arts servants in the palace."

However, unexpectedly, there was no one in the house.

But Zhou Qing wanted to see with her own eyes Jingshu's miserable and helpless end after being deceived. She stood on the Hongyun Tea House and saw the government's carriage running over. She saw Jingshu get off the carriage with her own eyes. Zhou Qing was filled with resentment.

My heart became excited.

Thinking of Jing Shu falling into Zhao Bi's hands, and being toyed with and tortured by Zhao Bi in the dark from now on, thinking of Li Ling being plotted like this, Zhou Qing was so excited that almost all the blood in her body boiled.

Jingshu put away Lanling's letter and called Ziyun to give her instructions.

Ling Xiao had never met Zhou Qing, so naturally he didn't recognize her.

Jing Shu also heard from Liang Xiao that there was a woman who went in with these people. She wondered: "Does this woman look like she can do martial arts?"

Just now she heard Liang Xiao say that these people were servants in the palace, and Jing Shu suspected that they were people sent by Empress Cao. Now that she heard that the leading woman was actually a concubine, Jing Shu became suspicious.

Jingshu read the letter twice and couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

In the afternoon of the second day, a fancy car left the palace and went straight to the Hongyun Tea House where Lan Ling invited him.

She hid in the dark and saw Jingshu entering the private room with her own eyes, so she rushed in with a few sturdy waiters.

At first, Princess Lanling wanted to marry the third girl, and she had mentioned this matter to her many times. Later, Zhou Jin rebelled against the decree and was exiled, so the marriage could only be abandoned. Now Lanling invites her in such a mysterious way.

It would make sense if they went to meet outside to talk about Zhou Jin in order to cover up others' ears. However, the birthday of the old lady of the Zhongshun Hou Mansion was coming soon, and Lan Ling, as the mistress of the house,

He must be busy organizing the old lady's birthday, so why would he invite her out of the house at this juncture?

Ling Xiao was originally the little eunuch beside the eldest princess. He was not as tall and strong as a normal man. He put on a woman's clothes, a cloak, and a gauze hat that women usually wear when traveling in spring. If you didn't step forward to look carefully,

No flaws can be seen.

Liang Xiao shook his head and replied: "I originally thought this woman was a palace official in disguise, but when I looked closer, she actually wore a pair of beads in her ears."

Jing Shu thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she looked up at Ling Xiao and asked, "Have you seen clearly what this woman looks like?"

At this moment, Jing Shu was sitting in the palace. After listening to Liang Xiao's description after he came back, she asked, "Can you see clearly? Are you sure it's someone from the palace?"

Since Li Ling left, Jing Shu has felt extremely uneasy. Now that she has received Li Ling's letter from home, she finally feels more at ease.

Naturally, Zhao Bi would not come forward for such a matter personally. He coveted Jingshu's beauty and was waiting impatiently in the palace in the suburbs.

Jingshu finished reading Li Ling's letter, put it away, and then took out the letter sent by Princess Lanling and opened it to read.

It turns out that the person sitting in this car is not Jing Shu, but Ling Xiao in disguise.

Lan Ling didn't say much in the letter. He only invited her to go to Hongyun Tea House tomorrow afternoon, saying that he had something important to discuss with her.

Back then, she wanted to marry Li Ling and even wanted to make him a baby, but she was flatly rejected by Li Ling time and time again. Zhou Qing always held a grudge for this humiliation. Later, at the eldest princess's house, Li Ling shot Jingshu through her in order to support her.

With one foot of revenge, Zhou Qing wanted to eat Li Lingjingshu's flesh alive.

When Jing Shu received Lan Ling's letter, she felt it was a scam. She could have ordered someone to go find Lan Ling to confirm, but Jing Shu didn't do so. She just wanted to use the trick to find out who was trying to harm her.

In fact, it was not Lanling who met Jingshu at all. All this was just a vicious plan set by the prince Zhao Bi and Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing used the name of Princess Lanling to trick Jingshu into Fuyun Teahouse, where the prince's plot had already been laid.

The subordinates wanted to trap Jingshu.

Ling Xiao is a careful person. He described it to Jing Shu in detail. Jing Shu suddenly understood. She drew a pen on the paper and showed it to Ling Xiao: "But this person?"

Ling Xiao looked at the portrait, nodded heavily and said, "That's exactly the person."

It turned out to be Zhou Qing!

Is Zhou Qing trying to harm her?
