This queen is not too curly

Chapter 80 Double Standard
"That year, Young Master Chu granted Wan'er a wish. Wan'er made a wish to Young Master, wanting to live a life of superiority, and wanting to trample his aunt and others under his feet."

"But it wasn't until the Empress appeared that Wan Er realized that her wish was never to be a master, but to be by Mr. Chu's side."

"Smile... I regret it..."

Song Wan'er spoke in a low voice, and tears flowed from her eyes, pouring into the clothes on Chen Ling's heavy shoulders.

She knows him.

She knew that he was not the violent and heartless person in the rumors.

On the contrary, he is a very affectionate person.

She knew that he secretly set up a spiritual tablet of a lifesaver in the study room of the bedroom, and she knew that he kept Fubai because an old friend once raised rabbits... He lived like an isolated island, and for the island Every plant and tree is cherished to the point of paranoia.

She didn't believe that Chen Lingchen had no feelings for her, or that he was indifferent.

He even cares about nonsense, doesn't he?
However, she waited for nothing.

Chen Ling lowered his eyelashes from the beginning to the end. He was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "You and I each take what we need. This is a transaction. Miss Song, did you forget?"

Song Wan'er raised her head, and despair gradually climbed into her pupils: "I don't believe it..."

Chen Ling said calmly: "That year when you took me to Dingbei Hou's Mansion, it was not because Yan Zhou stopped you from letting you in, but because you refused to enter the Marquis's Mansion yourself. You even wrote a case report and prepared to If you find any clues, hand me over to the government."

His tone was calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

"you……"

Why would he know? !
Song Waner stared at him in disbelief.

She still maintained the embracing posture, her whole body was stiff.

Chen Lingshen didn't even push her away, but said to her in a calm tone: "Miss Song, we have been on different paths from the beginning."

In the small border town that year, she promised to take him to Dingbeihou's mansion.

Before leaving, she sneakily stuffed a letter into her luggage, thinking he hadn't seen it.

Later, when she questioned her aunt and brother outside, he took out the letter and took a look.

The handwriting on the letter paper is delicate and dignified, telling a strange story: the daughter of the county magistrate accidentally rescued a seriously injured man, but the man was dressed suspiciously. Controlled him, and now that he was about to travel far away, she wrote a letter of love and took the risk to accompany him on the trip to prevent future troubles.

That's where she's smart.

If he enters the palace in Dingbeihou's residence, she will be the lifesaver.

If he was going to Dingbei Hou Mansion to cause trouble...

Then she is the righteous man who will send him to enforce the law every step of the way.

This is her, Song Waner.

Chen Ling looked at Song Wan'er calmly.

This is actually the reason why he brought her into the palace in the first place.Such a person who chooses between interests has the ambition to make a big fortune with a small one, which is suitable for cultivating a new party.

Song Wan'er remained motionless, even forgetting to breathe.

The secret was exposed, and the panic spread from the soles of the feet to the chest little by little.

It seemed that half her life had passed before she slowly knelt down on the ground, and said with difficulty: "My concubine... I was just afraid at that time, it wasn't on purpose..."

Song Wan'er really felt afraid at this moment. She thought that no matter what, Chen Lingshen would leave a glimmer of life for herself.After all, she has the grace to save his life, and he is such a loving person, no matter how much wrong she has done, he will not kill them all.

But she never imagined it, how could he know it from the beginning?
In his eyes, what she has done in the past three years... Isn't it just a joke?

Song Wan'er lowered her head deeply, fear tightened her neck like a poisonous snake, but there was still a trace of desolation in her chest, which made her want to laugh out loud.

Gradually, the fear quietly changed, and unwillingness flowed out of her pupils.

She scraped the ground with her fingertips, and her suppressed voice seemed to come from a dry well: "Your Majesty... since you already knew it, why didn't you expose your concubine?"

If only he knew from the start.

If he had never been sincere to her.

Then what is her company for three years?
Why didn't you dismantle it early, why didn't you order her to be killed when you left the border, it was better than taking her back to Beijing, pampering her, and holding her on a high branch, so that she couldn't help but daydream, dreaming that one day she would be able to shake his heart Heart, isn't it?

Inside the Qianzheng Palace, there was no sound.

The air seemed to be frozen.

Chen Ling's answer sounded after a long time: "It's just planning for myself, it's not my fault."

His voice was faint, not only was he not angry, but there was a hint of approval on the contrary.

He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Since that letter didn't take effect, it's just an insignificant thing, so if you're innocent, you won't be blamed."

This is precisely the reason why he chose Song Waner.

She is a person who knows how to advance and retreat no matter when and where.

"Irrelevant...important?"

Song Wan'er looked up in a daze, and found that Chen Lingshen's expression was also indifferent, without any waves.

She suddenly realized.

Chen Lingchen didn't mind the secret she thought was dead long ago, and even... didn't bother to reveal it.

This discovery made her forget her fear, and tears fell down the tip of her nose to the ground, hidden in the cracks of the floor tiles, everything seemed to have died quietly.

She said hoarsely: "The concubine... I know I was wrong."

She probably lost the bet.

Song Wan'er closed her eyes, smiled wryly and said, "This concubine is here to plead for my brother's life."

She is Song Waner.

As long as there is a breath of soil, she will be able to find the place where she takes root.

"My brother said that he has found out that the person who spread the rumors about the old case of Lancheng is related to a bandit in the frontier. He pleads for orders and is willing to take people to investigate."

"Your Majesty, Song Wan'er and the Song family are still willing to share the worries of Your Majesty."

……

As the sun set, Song Wan'er left the Qianzheng Palace in a slump.

Luo Ziqiu passed her by, and when he saw the dark expression on her face, he was stunned for a moment, and when he entered Chen Lingshen's bedroom, he paid extra attention.

Sure enough, there is no soothing incense in the bedroom.

Luo Ziqiu bowed in front of him and said, "The gray cavalry has sent back the letter to Feige. They have arrived at Yuting Mountain. Before sunrise tomorrow, they can bring the fire back and relight the everlasting lamp."

Chen Ling nodded heavily.

Luo Ziqiu walked to the censer, and casually threw some spices into the censer, then looked back at Chu Lingchen, only to find that he looked sane, not as if he had lost control of his emotions just now.

Luo Ziqiu thought for a while and said, "I heard that His Majesty has imprisoned the Queen in the Buddha Bone Pagoda?"

Chen Ling remained silent.

Luo Ziqiu asked again: "Does Your Majesty want to save the Queen?"

What happened at the Buddha Bone Pagoda early this morning has spread throughout the government and the public. He originally thought that with Chu Lingchen's personality, he would use his strength to sow conflicts between the old and the new relatives, but he did not expect that Chen Lingchen would have a relationship with the Queen Mother. Made the same choice.

He not only put the queen under house arrest, but also ordered Huiqi to go to the imperial mausoleum to go to the fire again.

This is obviously not the most seamless method, but it is the only way that can completely preserve Yan Yuan's position as Queen.

Luo Ziqiu thought for a while, and said calmly: "Before I suggested that you cooperate with the queen, it was because the help of the Marquis of Dingbei was beneficial to your Majesty's stability in the court, but now that the old case of Lancheng has been uncovered, it may be difficult for the Marquis of Dingbei. It's over."

Even for loyal ministers and good generals, such things as massacring the city are destined to be criticized by later generations.

Not to mention the Marquis of Dingbei who dominates one side.

Under the current situation, Yan Yuan is no longer the best candidate for cooperation, but Chen Lingchen seems to be planning to forcefully protect her position as queen.

This is interesting.

Luo Ziqiu stared at Chen Lingchen, and asked another way: "How does Your Majesty view the Queen?"

Chen Lingchen seemed to be taken aback.

He lowered his eyes, and the pen in his hand did not fall on the paper for a long time.

That slippery loach.

Bravado, a smart-ass mushroom.

He disliked her being stupid and clumsy, and he didn't want her to live too comfortably, but if she was allowed to ignore her this time, then what awaited her would definitely not be a small punishment.

Dingbei Hou is far in the northwest.

There are many dangers for her in this imperial capital.

The figure of that person appeared in his mind, and suddenly he felt a nameless anger in his chest and began to stagnate again.

The familiar irritability gradually breeds.

Climb from the fingertips until stagnation in the chest, disturbing breathing.

Chen Ling frowned in disgust, and said in a low voice, "I hate her...very much."

……

The Buddha Bone Pagoda not far away.

Yan Yuan had already fallen asleep on the desk.

She fell into a deep sleep lying on the desk, and her whole mind was plunged into deep darkness.

This was the first lesson Ji Fei taught in Jianboying back then, and it is also the moment she has learned the best so far: no matter what situation she faces, no matter what her physical condition is, as long as her body needs it, she will always be able to sleep .

This sleep was not even a dream.

On a moonlit night, she heard a small sound from the outskirts of the Buddhist hall.

The sound rustled for a while, and after a while, there was some sweet smell faintly in the air, which was the sweet smell emitted when the pastry was not completely cooled.

Yan Yuan opened her eyes calmly.

The curtain on the altar not far away fluttered slightly, and the sound of suppressed breathing resounded one by one.

Yan Yuan seemed to be able to imagine the state of the little girl, and suddenly the words that Chen Lingchen heard not long ago flashed in her mind: "The queen does not need to worry, after all, the Buddha will protect the queen."

At that time, Chen Ling and Shen Mingming's face was full of sarcasm, so it turned out to be the meaning?

Yan Yuan hooked the corners of her mouth unconsciously.

This feeling is like seeing a poor fellow in the same boat in the tide. Although the other party is fierce, he unexpectedly blows away the haze in her heart.

It's a bit of a conscience to count that dog thing.

Yan Yuan smiled silently, moved the chair to make a little noise, then stood up and walked a few steps, pretending to go outside to relax.

The little girl was really fooled, after a while a small finger stuck out from behind the curtain, and quietly opened a gap in the curtain.Then he paused for a while, and then quietly moved a little further.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yan Yuan grabbed that little hand.

"what!"

The little girl in the altar was stiff all over, with a frightened expression on her face.

Yan Yuan squatted in front of her, narrowed her eyes and smiled at her: "I caught it."

Under the lotus lamp, the little girl hugged her head, trembling like a sieve.

She is extremely thin and short, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and huge eyeballs, she looks like a little mouse that has been refined all the time.

The mouse girl burst into tears as she snotted, trembling and crying: "The servant is not a bad person, the servant is just here to send food to the mother..."

Yan Yuan has never seen anyone shed so many tears, not even the tortured people she saw in the barracks had so many tears.

The little girl was crying continuously, she was in a state of embarrassment, she didn't look like an adult walking in the palace, on the contrary, she looked like a five or six year old child, it was indescribably weird.

Yan Yuan squatted down in front of her: "Don't be afraid, I won't punish you."

The little girl raised her head sobbing.

Yan Yuan showed a kind smile towards her.

The ever-burning lamp goes out, the Buddha tears in blood, this kind of pot will not be explained clearly even in the next life, if she is really stupid to stay here and do nothing, then she is stupid.

Chen Lingchen is a cautious person. He can let this heartless little girl come to deliver food several times a day without worrying that someone will find out. This little girl must have her own special way.

Since there is a way, we have to walk.

It's better than sitting still.

Yan Yuan reached out and touched the little girl Xiao Xiao's head: "My Gong, I like warm-hearted little maids the most."
