At this time, the hall fell silent for a while, except for the Queen's hoarse low cough.

The fifth prince knew that he should wisely retire at this time, but his love for watching dramas made him stay strong, but he quietly crawled back a few steps, leaving Ling Cheng a little distance away Kneel down.

The five princesses were frightened by Ling Budo's words, and looked up in fear: "Mother..."

The queen raised her left palm and motioned her daughter to shut up, and she said, "I don't like your actions, I don't like the people around you, I have been with you for many years. You talk about it well, but it doesn't work at all. You are the princess, the youngest, you can't be beaten or scolded, and it's a girl's house, so I have to give you some face."

"I also imagined that Concubine Yue would scolded the three princesses, scolding you fiercely, without showing you the slightest sympathy, so that you would know how powerful it is. But because the three princesses' Her Majesty and Concubine Yue's reputation is well known in the city, which made her concubine's family treat her with contempt. Otherwise, she would not have gone to the manor outside the city with a big belly. Later, she had a difficult childbirth in the countryside. Help, she won't be able to get through that."

"It's not easy to live when I was young, I am cautious in my words and deeds, and I can't fight for everything, so I want my children to have a better life. I didn't think about it, but indulged You don't know how high the sky is, you have a black heart and a poisonous hand!"

The fifth princess was dizzy after being scolded, and she argued to herself: "How does the mother know that I killed the person! My daughter makes a raft!"

The queen was furious, slapped her palm on the table, and said loudly: "Okay, you are still stubborn! In this case, do you dare to go to your father and say this again, wait for After the people around you are interrogated and the truth is revealed, they will add another crime of deceiving you!"

Lying and denying in front of the emperor is no joke, and the fifth princess immediately went dumb.

"You are vicious behind your back and deceived in front of you. What else can't you do! You are also worthy of being a princess, and you are also worthy of living in a high-rise mansion?!"

of life and fragrance.

Come on! The former emperor Jing used a chessboard to kill the prince's heir when he was the crown prince. Didn't he ascend the throne as emperor well, who would be sorry for him? And the former hussar general, who shot dead a colleague in the army with an arrow. , Emperor Wu still protects him, who is to blame him? The prince and the general are like this, not to mention the daughter of a mere official!"

She turned her eyes to the direction of Shaoshang, and pointedly said: "The so-called punishment can't be done to the doctor, don't say I didn't do it, that is, I really killed Cheng Shaoshang, will the father still let him Can't I pay for my life?!"

Shao Shang secretly sighs that this is the root cause. The fifth princess is indeed stupid and frivolous, and she is indeed full of mistakes, but so what? She is a zero-cost crime. To put it more nasty, if the crime was unsuccessful this time, you can come again next time.

The queen was mad at her daughter's remarks. She is not a clever person. Even if she knows something is wrong, she can think of Lang Lang's rebuttal afterwards, but she is often speechless at that time. .

"You can pay for your life, or you can pay for your life." Ling Buxuan said suddenly.

Everyone went to see him.

Shang naturally brought some majesty, and the Fifth Princess watched, both enthralled and hurt.

"Emperor Jing and the hussar generals survived the murders for their own reasons. The former was too powerful as the prince of the kingdom, almost surpassing the imperial power. The emperor wanted to cover up for his son. The latter was the uncle of the hussar general who resented the death of his father, the general of Emperor Wu at the time. All in all, both of them had reasons for the emperor to cover up for him. However, Her Royal Highness Princess What grievance does Shaoshang have with you, you must harm her? It's just arrogance and viciousness."

The fifth princess was bullying violently in her chest. She thought bitterly that a man's heart is really baseless, but he never thought that the one who is aggressive today is the person of her dream.

Ling Budo's tone was slow and soft: "His Royal Highness, let's not count this human life lawsuit, we'll count it aside. You did this vicious thing on the Queen's birthday with your own personal resentment. Disloyalty and filial piety. How should this crime be counted?"

Growing up in the autumn palace, you don't care about your feelings at all. It's been a year since this Cheng Shaoshang came out of nowhere, so you are so troublesome to vent her anger!"

Ling Budoubt said: "The vastness of the heaven and the earth, in addition to the majesty of the king, is the kindness of the parents. Her Royal Highness The princess acted really neatly and decisively. I don’t care anymore. I can’t talk about any relationship with His Highness.” Even his own mother can ignore it. It can be seen that her character is despicable and cold, and there is no relationship at all. If she is not a princess, Ten have long since died in his hands.

The fifth princess smiled and said: "Okay, it seems that you are going to kill me today..."

, Mother, please forgive the son this time. The son is obsessed, and he did such a thing when he was dazed, so please forgive the son! Just now you also said that the third sister was mean by the concubine's family. Could it be that the mother Do you want to make Erchen fall into this field too? Erchen's future concubine is not as good as the third consort. Several elder sisters have married similar concubines, but Erchen is so unlucky, why? What, think about it, think about it again..."

Speaking of this marriage, the queen couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. The future little son-in-law is a well-known dude at home, and he has a very impatient temperament, but at that time the emperor had already decided to announce the marriage between the two. My parents' family is not bad. Although my elder brother Xuan Hou has only one son, he is married and has an honest and honest temperament. However, the four brothers of Yue Fei's family are only the son of Xiao Yue Hou, who is a third-year-old unmarried man...

Beating cats and scolding dogs. Although His Majesty didn't say anything, he was condoning a lot. So, do you just use this as an excuse to make an inch?"

"The queen mother...?" The fifth princess was taken aback.

"You are recruiting a concubine, not a relative. You have your own princess mansion, eunuchs, palace servants, servants, servants, servants, rich fields and a large manor..."

The queen's voice was weak, but she still insisted word by word, "If it is harmonious, you and the concubine will be together. If not, like three princesses living in separate houses, Who will come to criticize you again. If you cry and cry at all times, the whole world can’t be sorry to you, and now you dare to commit murder on my birthday, and you don’t take it seriously, there is nothing you dare not in the future!”

After taking a breath, she felt the blood in her chest surging, and she said loudly: "Don't cry and beg for mercy with me today, I know that you have no regrets in your heart, just I'm afraid of being punished. Anyway, you never listen to what I said. This time, I'll let your father and the emperor share it with you. If you come, put the princess in custody first, and hand it over to the servants of Huangmen and Da Changqiu when they arrive. ... Zhai, you help me go back first."

Zhai Li had noticed that the empress' face was getting whiter and paler, and immediately got up and helped the empress to go inside. Heart, am I…”

Zhai Li frowned and shouted: "What are you still doing, useless things!" She pulled back the corner of the queen's skirt.

At this time, the four tall maids who were already waiting on the side stepped forward, holding down the fifth princess in four directions, front, back, left, right, and unable to move. He helped the queen to the inner palace corridor, and soon the figure disappeared.

Shao Shang looked back quietly: "Your Highness, you think too much, how can I dare to be fearless. To be honest, I am actually very afraid."

"Are you also afraid?" The fifth princess sneered, "Up to now, you have no fear at all!"

Shao Shang calmly said: "It's true, I'm very scared. I'm afraid of strong winds, I'm afraid of blizzards, I'm afraid of cold palaces, I'm afraid of shaking candles, I'm afraid of everything in this world that can hurt me People or things. You think I am cunning and treacherous, but in fact, a person like me who fears everything, how can I live with peace of mind without being cunning."

"When I first entered the palace, I was worried every day, afraid that one day I would make a mistake and die. To be honest, most of the people in Changqiu Palace are kind and reliable, so I gradually felt relieved."

"Your Highness, Princess, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Since the day you entered the palace to celebrate your mother's birthday, I haven't been alone again - in fact, when I'm at home, I like to be alone. But these few days, I have to take people with me wherever I go, and even crowd into Zhai's house to sleep at night, and I never dare to be alone..."

"Your Highness, you really want to save me, but you shouldn't be planning this or that. You should just find someone to kill me. Just like you said, even if you kill me It won't pay for it."

The five princesses were very surprised.

After a while, he took Shaoshang's little hand: "Let's go."

Shao Shang nodded and slowly got up from the ground.

At this time, seeing that the queen had finally left, Ling Budo and Cheng Shaoshang were also leaving. He Shi Shiran stood up, walked to the fifth princess who was being held down by the palace servant, and said coolly, "Five sisters, What I'm saying, don't be smart. When you pushed me into the quagmire, I said that the father, the queen and the queen are all smart people. It's not that they don't know, but they are willing to tolerate it. !" The old enemy has fallen, and the great revenge will be avenged, and he can reminisce about today's big drama for two months.

The fifth princess glared at him angrily: "I want you to meddle in your own business! You watch my good show today, and I don't know who will watch your good show tomorrow! Do you think you have any backing! "

The fifth prince put his hands in his sleeves and smiled: "I don't have any backers, and I'm not as bold as the fifth sister. Many years ago, I knew not to go against the father. Therefore, I only Move your mouth, never do it." The lips can be cheap, but the hands and feet can't be cheap.

The fifth princess smiled coldly: "Xu Meiren was born as a palace maid, and she is used to serving people all day long. If you want to come to the fifth emperor, you are also deeply passed down, no wonder I am not as good as you. "When she was a child, she was ignorant. She once scolded the fifth prince as a 'bitch of a cheap life'. After being punished by the emperor and the queen, she remembered that no matter how cheap the fifth prince was, he was also in the blood of the father and the emperor.

The face of the fifth prince changed, and he said sharply: "You..."

"Five Highness. The Fifth Princess is about to be punished. What are you angry with her? Do you want to get involved in this mess." Shaoshang patted his numb legs, Can't stand up for a while.

The fifth prince let out a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and laughed loudly: "That's right, fifth sister, for the sake of your imminent misfortune, the elder brother won't have the same knowledge as you. ,Ha ha ha ha…"

It's not a shame!"

"

Go and ask around, which little girl would let Master Ling not, but go to hook up with the fifth prince?! I have water in my head!"

Ling Budo didn't look up and continued to squeeze the girl's slender and soft calf, but a beautiful crescent moon curved up at the corner of her mouth.

The fifth prince was unhappy, turned his head and said: "You said yesterday that you want to make friends with me, and you hurt me like this today?! How can I be sorry for you!"

Shao Shang turned his face and refused to recognize anyone: "I can leave the palace and go home today, and I will never quarrel with Lord Ling again, and what kind of friends do I make with His Royal Highness! Men and women are not close, let's still It's better to avoid suspicion..." The fifth prince is very mean, in order to avoid future troubles, it is better to unplug the lead in advance.

When she said the words 'don't quarrel with Master Ling again', she also gave Ling Budo a look of joy and resentment, Ling Budo was handsome and affectionate, and returned to her incessantly A glance, and then the kneading became more and more gentle, and the smile on the drooping face became more and more intense.

It is very happy to see a successful sale in a rare business.

The fifth prince turned blue: "Aren't you crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!"

"I can swim, why do I need a bridge, so I never demolish a bridge before I cross the river!"

Rao Ling has always been indifferent, but at this time he couldn't help laughing loudly. The laughter echoed between Liang Yu in the hall, and his eyes looking at the girl were full of tender affection.

This cheerful laughter and lingering eyes startled the fifth prince, and for a moment forgot to quarrel with Shaoshang.

At this time, Da Changqiu Cao Cheng finally brought people over in person, followed by a few silent old women with big shoulders and round waists. They belonged to professionals who were very 'skilled' at first glance. They came up three times. Divide five by two and hold the fifth princess in his hand.

Ling Budo and the other three simply bowed their hands to Cao Cheng and said a few words of 'hard work'. Cao Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. This kind of royal affair is the most difficult to handle. When he was about to take people away, the fifth princess suddenly said loudly: "Lord Cao, I will not defend, but Cheng Shaoshang set a trap in Yue Niangniang's Long Garden to harm people, don't you want to pursue it?"

Cao Cheng was stunned: "What is the trap to harm people."

, what's the reason for this! Empress Yue's long garden is so elegant, so she was pouring dung all over the floor, shouldn't she be punished?!"

Ling Budo pulled Shaoshang up, after a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "So you placed those golden juices in Longyuan Qingtengju? I, I have a capable person under my command, and within a day, I will not leave a trace of the scent of Qingtengju."

It was too early for him to be invited by Concubine Yue to see the corpse. When the dung bucket trap broke out and screamed outside, he was full of lawsuits and heard Concubine Yue say that no one was injured, just between little girls The prank, he didn't think much about it.

"But..." Ling Budo frowned, "Why are you doing this?" Although the girl is arrogant and acerbic, she will not bully people for no reason.

He smiled at the young businessman: "What dung bucket, what dung bucket?! I also listened to a few words intermittently in Longyuan just now, and I heard that those little girls wished they could soak in the bath. In the bucket, no matter how you wash it, the smell lingers all over your body, so you did it! Hahaha, they are the ones who pushed you into the water the day before yesterday..."

"What pushes into the water." Ling Budo looked solemn, "Who pushes who pushes into the water."

Shao Shang hurriedly went to pull Ling's arm: "Oh, don't listen to the nonsense of the fifth prince, there is nothing! Let's go, let's go..."

, not only did I see it, but also the two companions next to me saw it..."

Shao Shang said in amazement: "You saw it then? Then why didn't you come out to save people! Also, why haven't you spoken out!" Mouth, so strange.

The fifth prince said helplessly: "The mother's birthday is coming soon, so you have to wait for the complaint. Ouch, what is Ling Budo doing..." His arm felt a sharp pain, and the reason was that Ling Budo squeezed hard. Living.

Ling Budo masked the frost: "What's going on? You tell me well!"

The fifth prince hurriedly said: "You let go first, let me go first! I'll say it well... That day, when the young merchant came out of the Yue Niangniang and passed by the lake, the five sisters brought them into the palace. A little girl pushed into the water, and they also stopped the two palace maids who were with Shao Shangjun, and refused to let them rescue! Ouch, don't try harder... I was going to rescue, but I saw Shao Shang later. The king's water is very good, so he didn't show up..."

Ling Budo was short of breath, and suddenly looked back at the imprisoned fifth princess, her eyes were fierce and hateful, like a beast dripping blood between its fangs, and the fifth princess shrank back in fright on the spot. Ling Budo took a few steps forward, as if he was about to start on the spot.

Shao Shang clung to his arm and kept saying, "It's not her, it's not her! This thing is really not directed by the Fifth Princess! Who knows that I am good at water, the Fifth Princess has been coming for days. After setting up such a framing, if she really drowned me, it would not be a waste of her to arrange so much..."

Shao Shang let go of some men's arms, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Ling Budo grabbed her forearm with a backhand, with a cold tone: "Then why don't you tell I?"

"I, I..." They were arguing at the time, and she had already figured out how to get revenge, "It's not a big deal, I didn't get hurt, haha..."

Ling Budo looked at her deeply, his eyes were cold and frantic, mixed with anger and disappointment, and then slowly released the palm that was holding the girl. Shao Shang held his forearm, a fear surged in his heart.

Ling Budo walked up to the Fifth Princess and calmly said, "Your Highness Jun Jian, when His Highness leaves the palace, I will give you a great gift."

The fifth princess flinched, and when he was about to say something, Ling Budo flung his sleeves away, and when he left the hall, he dragged the fifth prince.

Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

Do you all know each other?"

"Everyone knows everyone!" The fifth prince nodded hurriedly, and suddenly felt useful, "Five sisters are just a few stinky companions back and forth, how come I don't know each other!"

When the young merchant caught up, he heard the fifth prince showing off his memory—

"I remember all of them, which of them were the ones who took the lead in pushing people, which ones were watching jokes by the side, oh oh, and a few who threw stones at the young merchants in the water! Cough, it's really vicious..."

Shao Shang was furious, and he stepped forward and pushed the fifth prince hard: "What's your business! You talk too much, be careful Your Majesty hits you!"

Not to be outdone, the fifth prince said loudly: "As you said, I am neither the oldest nor the youngest, neither the queen nor the child of the Yue Niang. It's not unique. If there is some movement from time to time, Your Majesty will not remember me - I'll have a movement now!"

Shao Shang almost vomited blood!

"Speak less!" Shaoshang really wanted to put mud in the mouth of the Fifth Prince.

She turned her head and said: "Lord Ling, don't listen to the fifth prince, he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Besides, I have already avenged, those little Bi... little bitch, don't say It has to stink for a few days, and even if the smell dissipates, they have no face to go out to play!"

Ling Budo didn't seem to have heard of it, and only said: "Five princes, you go ahead first, please go out with the minister today."

Convulsed, the voice seemed to come from under the ice - "Cheng Shaoshang, who do you think of me?"

"When I was hunting, I saw young beasts snuggling under the belly of the mother beast; When suppressing bandits, when they saw young women being untied from their ropes, they first rushed to their husbands, crying out for the fear and despair when they were kidnapped..."

You don't have any other friends, but even the Wan family can't fully relate to you. Parents are loving, childhood sweethearts are in harmony, what are you, aren't you?"

"After I got engaged with you, I thought to myself, I would like to be your confidant and your backer, you can tell me whether you are afraid or distressed. I don't want to stop you from doing it. What, I just want you to treat me with sincerity. Like my uncle and aunt who passed away, live a lifetime of intimacy. However, have you ever taken me to heart?"

Shao Shang sighed in tears, teardrops slapped on his neck: "No, I really didn't mean to hide it from you this time. I don't think it's a big deal..."

"Are you angry after being pushed into the water by them?" Ling did not doubt.

Shao Shang was dumbfounded: "...Angry. Not only angry, but also wanting revenge."

"Then why didn't you tell me." Ling Budo's expression was a little sad, "Can't I ask you to trust me, can't I ask you to rely on me."

Shao Shang cannot argue that many things are not her intentional actions, but her subconscious actions.

He slowly let go of the girl, bowed his head and stood sideways: "When they push you into the water, they don't know that you can swim, how do you know if they are just playing or deliberately killing you... Even if I can avenge you afterwards, can you still survive? You won't let me send someone to follow you, and you won't tell me afterwards, in your heart, what exactly am I?"

Shao Shang was sad, obviously standing so close to Ling Budo, but the cold sadness on his body seemed to push her far, far away, but she didn't know what to say to remedy.

"You said just now that you are afraid of all the people in the world who can hurt you. I am one of them."

Ling Budo slammed heavily on the pillar, and said resentfully, "It's not that you like Louyao so much, it's that he can't hurt you, you only feel when you are with him. Shu Chang. But I'm not. You are always alone, it doesn't matter if you eat a meal, you won't feel lonely when you walk alone, I just squeezed beside you."

After saying this, Ling Budo put away all his emotions, turned back to the indifferent young powerful minister, looked at the girl and said lightly: "You hate this palace so much, I'll take care of it now. Your bondage, and your freedom."

Then he turned away firmly, never looking back.

Shao Shang stood there dumbfounded, his face full of tears, but he couldn't speak, but he was screaming wildly in his heart - that's not the case.

She doesn't really hate the court at all.

Although it was annoying at first, she liked the gentle queen, like the nagging Zhai, like to stroll in the beautiful royal gardens, like the splendid and magnificent ancient palace buildings, surrounded by a carved fence, Looking up at a painting building, she can look at it obsessively all day.

He gave her perhaps the best education in this era, and many old masters with knowledge in different fields took turns to teach; he led her to a peak that ordinary people may not reach in their lifetime, Enjoy the view from the top of the empire. He broadened her narrow vision and enriched her barren life, how could she hate him?

But she couldn't say anything.

—She slowly squatted down, covering her face with her hands and crying silently. She really hates herself so much right now.

After crying for a while, she wiped away her tears and stood up straight.

Sometimes, cowardice is not the fear of the unknown, but the refusal to face up to the unwillingness to admit. If you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, you should correct it and admit your mistake. It doesn't matter what the outcome is, what matters is that Ling Budo deserves to be treated well.

The author has something to say:

1. The ancient times of Wochao was never a society ruled by law, and there is no saying in this era that 'the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime'.

2. Although I have connoted the braided dynasty many times, I would like to say that from the perspective of long history, humanitarianism has become more and more perfect as it progresses. In the Han and Tang dynasties, it was not a problem for a palace maid to die, but in the Qing Dynasty, even palace concubines could not kill palace maids indiscriminately.

3. The two examples mentioned in this chapter are Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Huo Qubing.
