"How do you know that my young lady's name is not on His Majesty's list?" The maid next to Ling'er spoke first.

Ling'er then nodded: "Yes, how do you know?"

[This maid is actually more stable and calculating than Ling'er. 】

[If Na Ling'er comes to power in the future, this maid cannot be kept! 】

Ling Xi thought to herself, looked at the maid again, and said timidly: "Because I personally gave the red booklet to His Majesty..."

"You're talking nonsense." Na Ling'er didn't believe it at all: "Why would the Queen Mother ask you to deliver something that the Queen Mother wants to give to His Majesty?"

"Miss, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone to inquire. Ask if I was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother earlier..."

"..."

Ling'er seemed to be choked, her lips moved, and she immediately looked at the maid.

The maid understood and immediately said: "Even if the Queen Mother calls you into the palace, we will not believe what you say unless you tell our lady who His Majesty has chosen to be his concubine!"

Then Ling'er remembered the key thing and nodded again: "Yes, it's empty talk. Tell me, which two little bitches did your Majesty choose?"

"I, I can't say," Ling Xi shook her head like a rattle: "His Majesty said that only he and I know about this matter, and we must not let the third person know, otherwise... the matter will get worse. It won’t be easy to deal with.”

"What's so hard to deal with!?"

"Of course, it's not good, let's deal with it." Ling Xi's eyes became more and more timid: "Miss, your father is a general and holds military power, so naturally he is not afraid, but I can't. My father is just a small civil servant. And I'm not in the capital yet. If something happens to me, there won't even be anyone to save me..."

"What could happen to you? Besides," Na Ling'er pointed at herself: "Don't worry, if something happens, I will bear it for you!"

"That's not okay. If this happens to Yun Mansion and..." Ling Xi suddenly covered her mouth, as if she realized that she had spilled the beans, and quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, no, not Yun Mansion, I didn't say, I said the wrong thing, it wasn’t Yunfu, I didn’t say anything..."

With her explanation, it is clear that there is no 300 taels of silver here, isn't it?

Sure enough, the maid took a breath: "Yun Mansion? It can't be Yun Zhuyu from Yun Shangshu's family, right?"

"Yun Zhuyu?" Na Ling'er suddenly understood, and then gritted her teeth: "It must be her. She is about the same age as me, and she is not engaged. I heard that she had close contacts with people in the Queen Mother's Palace some time ago, so it must be her!"

【Some time ago? 】

[So, the Queen Mother’s selection of a concubine for the tyrant has long been carried out in secret! 】

[No wonder the girls in that booklet were carefully selected by the Queen Mother! 】

[Sure enough, I have already thought about it! 】

[However, the Queen Mother is really firm in her original intention when choosing people... all she chooses are embroidered beauties with big breasts and no brains! 】

Thinking of this, Ling Xi laughed bitterly at himself.

Thinking about it, when the Queen Mother chose the original paper figure as a chess piece, didn't she just take a fancy to her stupidity and controllability? !

Now, the girl named Na Ling'er looks the same.

They are all idiotic beauties who trade their IQ for beauty.

Also!

Only such people can be controlled by the Queen Mother and thus control the family behind them.

If everyone was designed to be a great heroine like Ling Xinyao, would the Queen Mother have to steal the chicken but lose the rice in the end? !
[If you reason like this, I should be the stupidest among these girls! 】

[Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have chosen me! 】

[Thinking about my past actions, they were indeed much stupider than this one! 】

【…】

Ling Xi was still analyzing herself, while Ling'er had already left aggressively with someone.

From the looks of it, he must be looking for trouble with Yun Zhuyu.

"Yun Zhuyu, I'm sorry. It was not my intention to divert trouble to the east, but...since you are a member of the Queen Mother, you are my enemy. Naturally, the enemy must be eliminated and dealt with as soon as possible!"

In the red book, Yun Zhuyu is the most unique girl.She comes from a wealthy family, her father is a second-rank minister, her brother has made great achievements and is stationed in other provinces, and the family has disciples all over the country and is very powerful.

And Yun Zhuyu is not a coward like Ling'er. She is also very talented. It is said that she followed her brothers to study at home after her enlightenment at the age of three, and she is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Once such a person comes to power, his prestige in the court will definitely surpass that of the Ling family.

If she could use Na Ling'er's hand to get rid of Yun Zhuyu, it would naturally save her the trouble of taking action.

Turning the corner, Ling Xi saw her carriage. She didn't ask the driver to take the cloud stool. Instead, she stepped on the shaft and used the strength to flip up.

"Let's go!"

The coachman responded with a low voice, raised his whip, slapped it on the horse's back, and spurred the horse forward.

Ling Xi thought about Ling'er and Yun Zhuyu, and gradually fell asleep without realizing it, until waves of jolts woke her up.

[Why are you so confused? 】

[When did the roads in the capital become so dilapidated? 】

[Furthermore, none of the dozen or so streets around my house have potholes. How could they be so bumpy? 】

[Will something happen again? 】

【…】

Ling Xi's thoughts were racing, but she lay there motionless, pretending to be still asleep.

Through the swaying car curtains, she saw the big trees and blue sky flashing by outside from time to time.

【So quiet! 】

[There are only birds chirping and insects chirping, no human sounds! 】

[This is... leaving the city! 】

Thinking of this, she pulled out the hairpin on her head, quickly cut through the sutures at the rear of the car, and lifted a corner of the car's tarpaulin.

Sure enough, there was a wilderness outside.

The towering city wall of the imperial capital has turned into a small straight line.

[This is not just out of the city, but also far away. 】

Ling Xi realized the danger and did not dare to be rash. She quickly unraveled the seams of the tarpaulin. When the gap was big enough, she rolled and fell out of the carriage.

The driver didn't seem to notice her and drove away quickly.

Ling Xi did not dare to return to the city. Instead, she quickly ran to the side of the road and found a deep pit to hide in. She did not forget to cover herself with a lot of weeds.

If the driver had been more careful, he would have quickly discovered something was wrong.

This place is too far from the imperial city, and she will definitely not be able to run the carriage with her legs.

Moreover, she was not sure whether she would meet the coachman's accomplices on the way back.

So hiding in place is the best way.

Sure enough, not long after she hid, she heard the carriage turn around and come back, running over her head in a hurry.

Ling Xi didn't dare to linger any longer. She picked up her skirt and ran along the field ridge, risking her waist and ran in the direction.

The wheat fields are about to be harvested now, which is the most suitable place for Tibetans, but it is also the easiest to leave traces.

She ran along the ditch as much as possible, looking in the direction of the carriage from time to time.

Just as she guessed, the coachman soon realized something was wrong, because from the time he last checked to just now, it was impossible for Ling Xi's legs to run very far.

The only place she could hide was in the surrounding wheat fields.
