The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 370 Li Ling seeks out the theory from Emperor Ming

Jingshu came out of the inner palace and went straight back to her house. When she returned to Qingfeng Garden, Li Ling had already returned from duty and was waiting for Jingshu outside.

Before Jing Shu could say anything, Li Ling came up to her and asked, "I heard that Queen Cao announced your entry into the palace later this afternoon. What did you do?"

Jingshu took off her cloak, sat down on the chair, poured herself a cup of tea, took a few sips to calm down, and said to Li Ling: "She announced what good things I can do, and she asked me to persuade you to surrender to the crown prince.

.”

After hearing this, Li Ling's face could not help but darken, and he replied: "Why did she tell you?"

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and told Li Ling exactly what Empress Cao said to her. At the end, she glanced at Li Ling's face that turned cold and sighed: "I didn't promise her, but it seems that

Empress Cao will not give up so easily, hey! Maybe one day she will issue a decree, and I will become the second concubine, and I am afraid I will have to make way for Qingluan."

After Li Ling heard Jing Shu's words, he was so angry that he slapped the table and said coldly: "This is really unreasonable!"

Because Li Ling was angry, his voice was full of energy. Jing Shu on the side was frightened. Li Ling hurriedly comforted his wife and said: "I'm not talking about you, I am saying that this Empress Cao is simply going too far."

It wasn't just this time that Empress Cao coerced Jing Shu. It turned out that Li Ling was not at home during his expedition to the northwest, and no one could support Jing Shu. Now that Li Ling has returned, facing Empress Cao's persecution, Jing Shu is no longer as frightened as before.

She grimaced and pretended to be worried: "I am just from a small family. If Empress Cao wants to have trouble with me, she can get rid of me without any effort."

When Li Ling saw his wife like this, he immediately stood up and walked to her, pulled her into his arms and comforted her: "Don't worry, no one can touch you even if I'm here."

Jingshu raised her head from his arms, with a slumped face and wet eyes, and whispered back: "Then Qingluan has been thinking about you, as her grandmother and mother chose for her a while ago.

Whenever she gets married, she seeks death

Mi Huo refused, which shows that she is determined not to marry anyone but you. Even if you try your best to ensure that I can stay in the mansion, the royal family will suppress me as her princess. I am afraid that I will stay in the mansion.

I have to be demoted as a concubine."

As she said that, Jing Shu's eyes were full of mist. She sniffed and said: "Our children have become concubines and concubines, and they have to be bullied by others. Aren't we, mother and son, living a life of being afraid of others' faces?"

day."

Before Jing Shu finished speaking, Li Ling couldn't bear it anymore.

To have his beloved wife lie down to others, and to have his beloved children look down upon others, was simply more uncomfortable for him than killing Li Ling.

Li Ling hugged his wife's arm tightly: "Nonsense! You are my wife forever, and I want to see who dares to have an idea of ​​yours."

Jing Shu lowered her eyes and muttered: "I'm afraid it's the emperor's order that cannot be violated."

Li Ling was silent for a while, then let go of his wife and said, "I'm going to meet the saint right now!"

With that said, he pulled up the cloak, put it on himself, turned around and was about to go out.

Jing Shu stepped forward and pulled him and said, "It's already dark, why don't we talk about it another day."

Li Ling replied: "The Holy Lord is at the Qinzheng Hall at this time. It is convenient for me to go to see the Holy One. If you have to wait for anything, the Empress Cao may persecute you tomorrow. I will go and put an end to her thoughts today."

With that said, Li Ling strode out of the house, mounted the good horse prepared by Ling Xiao, and headed straight for the imperial city.

Jing Shu knew that as long as she mentioned this matter to Li Ling, Li Ling would protect her desperately.

In her previous life, she kept everything in her heart, and Li Ling had a straightforward temperament, which caused many misunderstandings between the two. In this life, she will not be so stupid. She will speak out when she has something to say. She is different from those high-ranking people who have their natal family to support them.

As a noble girl, she naturally has to rely on her husband for things that she cannot handle on her own.

Fortunately, Li Ling treats her wholeheartedly and can give her full support.

But it was said that Empress Cao was thinking of surrendering the Ninth Princess to Li Ling, and was working tirelessly to persuade Emperor Ming in the Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Ming was an inattentive person. When he first heard Empress Cao mention this matter, he still disagreed with it. However, after Empress Cao explained the benefits, Emperor Ming couldn't help but change his mind.

Emperor Ming had his own small thoughts. Although he wanted to pass the throne to King Jin, he also knew that King Jin was far inferior to his nephew Li Ling in terms of ability and talent. Although Li Ling was outstanding in talent, he was

He is an upright and upright person. If he becomes his son-in-law and marries the royal family, even if he dies in the future, Li Ling will definitely assist his son loyally with his responsible temperament.

When Li Ling was not married, Emperor Ming also had this idea. However, at that time, Li Ling's wings were not as full as they are now. He was just emerging, and his abilities were naturally incomparable with his current abilities. Therefore, Emperor Ming mentioned this idea to the eldest princess.

Seeing that the eldest princess disagreed, he gave up.

But things were different now. His health was much worse than before, and Emperor Ming had to think about his son's future.

Emperor Ming was very moved after listening to Empress Cao's persuasion. He twirled his fingers and murmured: "The empress's idea is not bad, but Bo Yue has always loved the Shen family, and the Shen family has been favored by the emperor's sister. I'm afraid this will happen."

Abandoning her without any reason, the eldest sister and uncle disagree."

Empress Cao originally wanted to control Li Ling by twisting Jingshu, but after a lot of effort she couldn't control Jingshu, so she turned to Qingluan. Although Qingluan had a weird temperament, he was a brainless person.

Yes, it was easier than Shen to lower Qingluan to Li Ling. Empress Cao had many plans, so she spared no effort to facilitate this matter.

After listening to Emperor Ming's words, Empress Cao smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. Why do you need to discuss such a matter with the emperor and General Li in advance? It is just a decree. Even if the emperor and General Li disagree, they will not agree."

What can be done?"

Seeing that Emperor Ming was still hesitant, Empress Cao continued: "Besides, this Qingluan is the direct niece of the Duke and the niece of the emperor. I don't believe that the emperor's love for the little Shen family will exceed hers."

, His Majesty’s decree, even if the emperor’s sister is not happy, she just complains a few times.

In other words, can she not care about her niece? As for General Li, if he really couldn't let go of Mrs. Shen, he would still let him keep Mrs. Shen by his side and demote her to a side room. In terms of family background, Mrs. Shen was originally

She has climbed up to the Duke of Zhen's palace, so it is not suitable for her to be Li Ling's official wife."

After listening to Empress Cao's advice, Emperor Ming finally made up his mind and nodded in agreement: "Without further delay, let's trouble the empress to draft Dao Yi's edict, and let Boyue demote Shen to a side chamber first and wait for a while.

, and then give Qingluan to him as his wife."

Empress Cao quickly bowed and agreed: "I obey, I will go back and draft the decree right now."
