The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"I went to see King Xian tonight, and he promised to go to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow to talk to her and ask her what she meant." Marquis Zhongyuan frowned and said, "I will tell you then, and we can discuss it again. What’s the next step? Don’t leave the Marquis’ Mansion again. If anything happens, I will go find you.”

Ling Xiao looked at Zhongyuan Hou's gray hair and said, "Don't interfere in this matter. I know what to do myself."

"You are my son, how could I not interfere in your affairs?" Marquis Zhongyuan glared at him and said, "Be obedient and wait until the wise king goes to finish the discussion."

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.

Marquis Zhongyuan said again: "What else is missing in your yard? I still have some calligraphy, paintings and porcelain in the warehouse. I have people pick them out. You can take them back later."

"It'll be in a few days," Ling Xiao declined.

"Okay, let's wait until this matter passes." Marquis Zhongyuan nodded.

"Then I'll go back first." Ling Xiao turned around and walked towards the door.

Marquis Zhongyuan said from behind: "Don't come out and wander around."

Ling Xiao agreed and disappeared into the night.

Marquis Zhongyuan sighed behind him, feeling a little more resentful towards his wife.

This son was what he was most proud of, but because of his prodigal wife, he kicked this son out of the house.

Thinking about the cowardly second son again made his head hurt.

If the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion is handed over to him, their Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion may be finished in this generation.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to hand over the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion to the eldest son. Wouldn't it be nice for the eldest son to have two sons in the future, one to succeed Jingyuan Marquis and the other to inherit Zhongyuan Marquis?

The next day, Zuo Xiangning learned that the eldest princess not only asked the emperor to punish Jingyuan Hou Lingxiao and pay for her son's life, but also revealed that Zuo Xiangning was not a woman and had an engagement with Jingyuan Hou while she was engaged to the eldest princess's palace. She had an affair and her son was brutally murdered.

Zhang Tu looked at Zuo Xiangning's face and continued: "Now...this matter is spreading all over the capital. The girl still has to choose a countermeasure quickly."

What countermeasures can Zuo Xiangning have?

Even if she and Ling Xiao had nothing to do with each other, she would have no way to argue. What's more, with the relationship between her and Ling Xiao now, she would have no choice and no way to argue.

At night, as soon as it got dark, Ling Xiao came over.

When he entered the room, he saw Zuo Xiangning leaning quietly on the Arhat bed. When he saw him entering the room, she smiled, took off her shoes from the Arhat bed and faced him, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come here so early today? Have you had dinner?"

"It's done." Ling Xiao asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

"I've finished eating too." Zuo Xiangning asked Bingyu to go to the kitchen and bring over the pear and white fungus porridge, "Drink some of this, it will moisten your lungs."

Ling Xiao smiled and touched her hair and looked into her eyes, wondering if she had heard what happened in the court today.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Ling Xiao guessed that Zuo Xiangning already knew.

"Zhang Tu came here today?" Ling Xiao asked in a low voice.

"What does the eldest princess want to do? Does she have any other ulterior motives?" Zuo Xiangning asked doubtfully. "My father asked the Xian King to go to the eldest princess's mansion..." Ling Xiao looked at Zuo Xiangning's expectant eyes. When he reached the corner of his mouth, he changed his words and said: "The Xian King said that the eldest princess was just holding back her heart. After a few days, when the anger subsides, you will realize that what you did was wrong."

"But no matter how angry she is, she can't talk like that?" Zuo Xiangning frowned, "Even if she doesn't care about me, she should also consider the queen's face properly, right? The eldest princess is a little too arrogant."

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Don't let her steal my words. The word arrogance was used to describe me before."

Zuo Xiangning also laughed and said, "You are becoming more and more stable now."

"That's because I've been with you and been influenced by you." Ling Xiao hugged her, walked around the room, and asked with a smile: "Do you have to start making wedding dresses?"

"Why are you in a hurry?" Zuo Xiangning hugged his neck and giggled, "Didn't I tell you everything? You have to wait for my eldest brother's wedding to be completed before it's my turn."

"How long do we have to wait?" Ling Xiao lowered his head and kissed her neck, and said angrily: "Are you trying to make me anxious to death? I'll find someone to check the date tomorrow. The wedding date will probably be in March, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. If there are no good days in March, then make plans to marry a daughter-in-law before the New Year, otherwise my Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is too deserted, are you willing to let me spend the New Year there alone?"

Zuo Xiangning was indeed a little reluctant. She held his face and said with a smile: "Then you can come to my place to celebrate the New Year, and I will stay with you."

"The Hou's Mansion has been empty for many years. It is a new house this year. It's hard to miss out on New Year's Eve." Ling Xiao coaxed her and said: "You come over and we will hang up lanterns in the yard and make it prosperous. I I’ll buy you two carts of firecrackers and I’ll take you to set them off together.”

Zuo Xiangning looked at his pleading eyes, pursed her lips and said, "Let's see and talk about it then."

"Okay, let's see then." Ling Xiao saw that Zuo Xiangning was already a little loose, so he stopped forcing her and picked her up with a smile, heading to the inner room.

Zuo Xiangning guessed what he meant, her face turned red and she tried to stop him, "Ling Xiao, we don't..."

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly said to Ling Xiao: "There is a knock on the door outside."

Ling Xiaozhi had been burning meat since that day, and his heart had been burning. When he saw Zuo Xiangning just now, his heart was burning even more intensely. Just when he wanted to taste the ecstasy again, he was interrupted again, and his heart suddenly He looked out the window a little unhappy and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master Hou, Changfeng has come to deliver a message, saying that a group of people are outside the Hou's Mansion. They are only guarding outside and have no intention of entering the Hou's Mansion." Bingyu said outside: "I'm afraid Changfeng is here to wait for you."

Zuo Xiangning's heart tightened, she looked at Ling Xiao and said, "It can't be the emperor, right?"

"Probably not." Ling Xiao put Zuo Xiangning on the bed, "You go to bed first, I'll go back and take a look."

"Be careful and try to enter the house quietly and don't conflict with them." Zuo Xiangning said worriedly: "If it's inconvenient, don't come to my place. Everything is fine here. You don't have to worry. What's the matter? , I will let Bingyu deliver the letter to you."

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Ling Xiao kissed her on the face and comforted her before leaving.

Zuo Xiangning was lying on the bed, where could she sleep?

Zuo Xiangning got up and called Bingyu in.

"You ask Bingyun to accompany me here, and you take someone to the Marquis Jingyuan's Mansion to have a look," Zuo Xiangning whispered: "Stay far away, don't get too close, and see if Marquis Jingyuan returns safely. To the Hou Mansion."

It's so late, and a group of people gathered outside the Hou Mansion, what good thing can it be?
