Chapter 229 Mutual Check and Balance
In the early morning of this day, the emperor summoned Song Baoling and Jun Tingsheng to discuss marriage with them.

"Judging from the current situation, their marriage is temporarily impossible."

Song Baoling was not surprised when he heard the words, let alone Yemuna's broken leg, and now he is comatose all day long, so the marriage can't proceed naturally.

The emperor glanced at the two of them, and said again: "You should treat each other with courtesy when you come from afar, but now that so many things have happened, I also have a headache."

"Although you have already delivered the fifteenth princess, I still hope that you can stay a little longer. What do you two agree?"

Song Baoling was keenly aware that something was wrong, the emperor was clearly suspecting that they had something to do with Yemuna's broken leg, leaving them behind must be looking for an opportunity to find out.

But if they refused, wouldn't it be a sign of a guilty conscience, and Shu Ning's matter had not been completely resolved, so they definitely couldn't leave at this time.

After receiving Song Baoling's hint, Jun Tingsheng clasped his fists and saluted: "Then we will have to bother for a while longer."

Here, Yemuna was in a daze all day long, and Shu Ning also waited in the house all day long, but she was actually very happy inside.

The queen learned from the palace population that she took care of her busy schedule, and thought she worked hard day and night, so she rewarded her with many good things.

Looking at the jewelry on the table, Shu Ning was even more overjoyed, and immediately asked the maid to invite Song Baoling.

Xu Shi was so happy, when Song Baoling arrived and was about to salute, Shu Ning dragged her into the room.

"There are no outsiders here, so don't be polite to me, sit down quickly."

Coming into the room, Shu Ning put a string of red agate bracelets on Song Baoling's hands, "This is a gift from the empress, and it must be a rare item. I'll give it to you."

Song Baoling looked at the red agate in his hand, then took it off and put it back into the box, "Thank you princess, but this is a gift from the queen, the princess can't give it away easily."

"Princess, always keep in mind that this is the Kingdom of Xianqi. If someone with a heart knows that you have given the Queen's gift to others at will, I'm afraid it will say that you are disrespectful to the Queen."

Hearing this, Shu Ning was stunned with a smile on her face, and sat back on the stool a little disappointed.

"In the past, I gave away the things rewarded by Er Niang and the emperor's brother and sister-in-law, and no one dared to say anything, but now I can't do anything I want to do."

"Song Baoling, why do you think I agreed to get married in the first place? I was simply seeking my own death."

Seeing that she was depressed, Song Baoling was worried that she might run away again, so he had no choice but to persuade her: "Now that the marriage is a foregone conclusion, the princess is still here, so let's settle down."

"Besides, the current situation is not all bad for us. As long as the princess is cautious in her words and deeds, I believe there will be a good result in the end."

Shu Ning also knew her situation, nodded to Song Baoling, and said, "It's really thanks to you this time, if it wasn't for the medicine you gave me, I'm afraid I would still be beaten and scolded by Yemuna every day."

"This medicine is only used to suspend the situation. It should not be used too much on Yamuna, so as not to be discovered."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

The two were discussing, when there was a soft sound outside the door, Song Baoling got up vigilantly and walked over, only to see a court lady leaving quickly.

This is... the people around Yamuna.

Song Baoling was startled, and immediately ran after him, but the maid ran very fast, she ran away in the blink of an eye.

Don't let her go back and report the news!

Thinking of this, Song Baoling speeded up, and when the maid was about to run out of sight, one person stopped her.

"His Royal Highness!"

The maid bumped into Yemuqi, turned her head and saw Song Baoling who was chasing up, she looked at Yemuqi in a panic: "Your Highness, I just heard them..."

"Bold!"

Yemuqi interrupted her in a cold voice, and said angrily: "Come on, this lowly servant girl dares to offend His Highness, and deal with me according to palace rules."

The maid was startled, and before she had time to explain herself, Yemuqi's bodyguard suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her by the neck. With a soft 'click' sound, the maid died instantly, and her body was immediately carried by two eunuchs. Walk.

The whole process went like flowing water, and Song Baoling who caught up was stunned, "Your Highness, you..."

"Miss Song, it's rare to see you today. There is a courtyard not far in front of here. How about you come and talk with me?"

Seeing the palace man behind him, Song Baoling had no choice but to nod, and followed him to the courtyard.

Walking on the road, Song Baoling secretly looked at Yemuqi. Just now he was obviously helping himself, but why did he do this?
"Miss Song is wondering why I want to help you?"

"Forgive Ling'er for being ignorant, I don't know what His Highness means by these words?"

Yemuqi stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Song Baoling, "Miss Song, don't worry, after all, you and I have teamed up on the assassin, and I won't harm you."

"As for the life and death of Yamuna, I don't care, so Miss Song needn't be too nervous."

Song Baoling saw that he seemed to be sincere, but even so, he did not let down his vigilance.

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Yemuqi smiled faintly, raised his foot and continued to walk forward, "Miss Song, you don't need to thank me, in fact, I joined forces with you because of your intelligence."

"Now that I've helped you, why don't Miss Song do me a little favor?"

Song Baoling had already guessed that such a day would come when she approached him to join hands with Yemu, but she couldn't agree to everything.

"This is the Xianqi Kingdom. My daughter is really limited in some things. Why don't you talk about it first? If my daughter can help, I won't refuse."

"With your ingenuity, I believe that with your help, we will get twice the result with half the effort."

Yemuqi praised generously, and then told Song Baoling that what he wanted was to save his mother and concubine.

"Forgive my daughter for being rude, may I ask your Highness's mother and concubine who is..."

"My concubine is Lou Guifei."

Concubine Lou?
Song Baoling suddenly remembered that Pei Shilang had mentioned this person before Xian Qiguo, but she had been here for several days, but she had never seen this person.

Yemuqi saw her doubts, and took the initiative to explain to her: "A year ago, the queen planned to frame my mother and concubine for a private meeting with the guards, and the emperor was furious and locked my mother and concubine into the cold palace."

"But the guard also died after that, and now there is no proof of death, and the mother and concubine can no longer get rid of her grievances, and I am afraid that the rest of her life will be spent in the cold palace."

Song Baoling was a little startled after hearing this, looked at him and hesitated for a moment, and asked: "If the emperor believed it, why did you still let you sit firmly as the crown prince?"

Hearing this, Yemuqi's face became a little ugly, "Even though Father retains my crown prince position, he is still dissatisfied with me to some extent, and even...he secretly doubted my bloodline."

Song Baoling thought silently, she and Yemuqi teamed up to deal with Yemuna, if she didn't agree to help, in case he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, wouldn't he shoot himself in the foot?
"Don't worry, Your Highness, since we are allies, I will definitely help with this."
