Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 192 Qingluan sneaks in

 It snowed heavily at night.

Early in the morning of the next day, the sky was slightly polished, Jingshu and Li Ling were still sleeping soundly, and they heard Ling Xiao calling from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, His Highness has just sent someone to look for you, saying that he has something to tell you. .”

The two of them were woken up by Ling Xiao. Li Ling opened his eyes and murmured in confusion: "What a strange thing. Why is the prince looking for me this early in the morning?"

With that said, he got up and put on his clothes, and said to Jingshu: "I'll be back as soon as I can. You can sleep a little longer. There is a polo match today, and I will take you to watch the match in the second half of the day."

Jing Shu nestled in the warm quilt and nodded towards Li Ling: "Even if the prince invites you, please go quickly. If you have something to do and you can't come back, there is no need to come back in a hurry. We can just go and watch the game ourselves."

Li Ling glanced at his little wife's sleepy look and felt an itch in his heart. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her face again and again.

Before going out, Li Ling was worried that his wife would be cold, so he added more charcoal fire to the stove.

Where could Jingshu sleep? With a woman's intuition, she felt that the person who came to look for Li Ling at this time was definitely not the prince. In all likelihood, it was Qingluan who came to look for Li Ling in the name of the prince in order to deceive others.

The more Jingshu thought about it, the less at ease she felt. She got up, put on her clothes, and followed her out of the tent.

Although Li Ling has walked far away, because it snowed just last night, the footprints Li Ling just left on the thick snow are clearly visible.

It's not that she doesn't trust Li Ling and wants to watch him, but that in her current situation, she can't just hide behind Li Ling and have to be passive and aware of everything.

Even though she knew that Qingluan was paranoid and what he said yesterday might not be true, Jingshu couldn't be so heartless and not take it to heart at all.

 She must at least be informed about some things that are related to her interests.

Jingshu followed the footprints left by Li Ling for a long time, and finally caught a glimpse of Li Ling in a hidden forest.

As Jingshu expected, it was Qingluan who came looking for him.

The two were talking face to face. In order to hear the conversation clearly, Jingshu quietly hid behind a big tree not far from them.

Li Ling's voice was full of anger: "What are you doing? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing such an outrageous thing under the eyes of the Holy Emperor and the Concubine?"

Qingluan hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, cousin, no one else will know if this place is so remote."

Li Ling said coldly: "Why are you looking for me? Tell me quickly."

Qingluan seemed to be crying again, with a hint of sobs in his voice: "Cousin, do you really not care about me at all now?"

When Li Ling saw her saying this again, he turned around and left.

Qingluan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, crying: "Can you just listen to what I have to say?"

Li Ling replied: "If you say this, don't mention it again. If you don't care about yourself, I still care about the century-old reputation of the Zhenguo Palace."

Hearing Li Ling say such heartless words, Qingluan was so angry that his shoulders heaved violently, and he said angrily: "I really don't understand what kind of ecstasy soup that Mrs. Shen poured into you, so that you would not care about anything for her."

"I heard that my grandmother planned to give you a concubine, but you refused. So Shen couldn't give birth to an heir for you. Do you want to have no offspring? Humph! By doing this, you are just caring about the Duke of Zhen's palace? Do you have it? Haven’t you thought about the future consequences?”

Li Ling rolled his eyes at Qingluan: "This is my Li family's business and has nothing to do with you!" He dropped this sentence coldly, and Li Ling raised his legs and walked away.

Seeing that Li Ling was about to leave, Qingluan was so anxious that he stepped forward and grabbed his arm tightly regardless of propriety, and said hurriedly: "Cousin, please listen to what I have to say."

Li Ling turned pale with anger, took her hand away angrily, and said angrily: "You should understand your duty."

Qingluan started crying again, sobbing, as if he was about to lose his temper at any moment: "What's wrong with me wanting to marry the person I like? I'm the same age as Qingyuan, and she has wanted to since she was a child. I have nothing, I have nothing, nothing is as good as him, I just want you, this is my only thought. I only have one wish, but you can't make it come true for me."

Qingluan cried so hard that she grabbed Li Ling's lapel and begged humbly: "Cousin, if you can't let go of Shen, I won't force you to abandon her. Aren't you going to march south in a while?" When you return in triumph, please beg your father to let me marry you and become your equal wife. I will serve you together with Shen, and I promise to live in harmony with her and not to embarrass you, okay?"

Hearing her shameless words, Li Ling was so angry that he raised his arm and threw her away.

Qingluan staggered and fell into the snow, her body and hands covered with residual snow. She lay on the ground in a panic, but refused to get up on her own. She just looked up at Li Ling with tearful eyes.

Now Li Ling was extremely disappointed with this cousin. Seeing her in such a mess, Li Ling didn't feel soft at all. He just said to her with a cold face: "Don't say that I already have a beloved wife, even if I haven't married one yet, I can't do it." I will definitely not marry you, so give me a rest as soon as possible."

Li Ling said these words from the bottom of his heart.

He hates shameless women the most. Zhou Qing annoys him. Compared to Zhou Qing, this cousin is even worse and disgusts him even more.

How could he, Li Ling, fall in love with such a woman?

In his aesthetic view, a good woman should be like his wife, noble and self-loving, kind and virtuous, gentle and

 In short, in Li Ling's eyes, his wife is good in everything. A woman like Zhou Qing Qingluan is not even as good as a toe of his wife.

It’s not that he is a saint or a kind person, but that he really despises these people from the bottom of his heart.

Qingluan saw that Li Ling had no intention of pitying her at all. She slowly got up from the cold snow, wiped the tears on her face, and said with a sneer: "Cousin, if you refuse to ask Father to issue an edict, When you return from your southern expedition, I will go and ask my father for help."

Li Ling was really worried that this paranoid cousin would do such a thing. He was so anxious that his voice became sharp: "How dare you!"

Qingluan smiled and said: "I have nothing, so what's the point of fear? Besides, I don't believe that the emperor's aunt will let you die for the Shen family."

Jingshu, who was hiding behind the tree, heard these words clearly.

If Qingluan goes to ask the emperor for an edict, then Li Ling will have to accept her even if he doesn't want to accept her. Even if Li Ling doesn't have her in his heart, Jing Shu can't imagine living under the same roof with such a paranoid woman. What would that life be like.

There is also the attitude of the eldest princess. If she also supports Li Ling marrying Qingluan, it will be even worse for her.

These are the things Jing Shu is most worried about.

After listening to Qingluan's words, her breathing became rapid and she moved forward involuntarily.

At this moment, a bird flew up from the tree, and the falling snow hit Jingshu squarely on the head.

She was listening intently to Li Ling Qingluan's conversation. She was startled by this sudden blow and exclaimed "Ah". Then, her feet slipped and she fell into the snow vortex holed under the tree.
