As soon as Ye Mingzhu walked to the door, she was stopped by Concubine Ning. She said seriously: "Mingzhu, don't be ridiculous. The Queen Mother is not joking this time."

"Isn't this just an opportunity? How can you say I'm fooling around?" Ye Mingzhu looked confused.

"Don't think it's an opportunity. Although the Queen Mother wants to purify the royal bloodline, she doesn't necessarily have to be Ruling. Don't forget that there are other princesses. What you should worry about is Ruling, not touching Leng Rutong now."

Concubine Ning said without mercy, walked to the bed and took a look at Leng Ruling, whose face was ashen.

Ye Mingzhu seemed to understand what she meant. She snorted coldly: "Do you mean to dislike our family Ruling now?"

Concubine Ning turned to look at her: "Why don't you understand that in the eyes of the Queen Mother, no one is irreplaceable, Huai'er is, and Ru Ling is too. If she arranges Leng Rutong's marriage at this time, you must

Can you be sure that she is trying to clear the way for Ru Ling?"

"What else is that? Leng Rutong is now a person with one foot in the coffin. If you arrange a marriage for her at this time, it is possible that she will get married well." Ye Mingzhu didn't care.

"Then don't forget that Ru Ling has half a foot in the coffin. Now that you are gone, do you plan to ask the Queen Mother to arrange a marriage for Ru Ling? Do you think the Queen Mother will let Huai get married now that Ru Ling is like this?

Let's marry her? We have worked hard for so many years, don't let all our efforts be wasted because of your trouble." Concubine Ning was afraid that Ye Mingzhu's departure would accidentally offend the Queen Mother and make the Queen Mother make random decisions. Although the Queen Mother still cared about Leng Ruling,

But it doesn't mean that she doesn't have any concerns in her heart. After all, it was Leng Ruling who presented the mutton-fat white jade.

Perhaps the Queen Mother would not necessarily suspect Leng Ruling had ulterior motives, but the matter was caused by her piece of mutton-fat white jade. Who knows what she is thinking now.

"You mean, even Huai'er might be deposed by the Queen Mother?" After Ye Mingzhu said this, she finally came to her senses.

"Mingzhu, both Ru Tong and Ru Ling are both alive and dead now, but the Queen Mother only arranged for Ru Tong to have a happy wedding. There may be other reasons for this. We can only wait for her to decide now, so don't get too involved."

After hearing Concubine Ning's words, Leng Qingxiang felt a little strange, so he pulled Ye Mingzhu back and sat down on the chair.

"Although the Emperor respects the Queen Mother, he will not completely listen to the Queen Mother when it comes to important matters such as the succession of the throne. The Emperor's brother promised me that Ling'er would be the phoenix." This was the Emperor's brother's reward for her sacrifice in the past.

, everyone in the Ye Sheng Dynasty knows this, and there is no way that the emperor will go back on his word.

Concubine Ning sighed. If the matter of the throne was only decided by the emperor, she would be somewhat sure that the emperor would not change his mind. But...she looked at Leng Qingxiang: "Does the Prime Minister know that this time the Queen Mother is 100 years old?

What a gift."

"As far as Wei Chen knows, it's just a small jade seal." Leng Qingxiang answered her somewhat suspiciously.

"Do you know the meaning of this little jade seal?" Concubine Ning asked seriously.

Leng Qingxiang shook his head, not knowing what kind of small jade medal the emperor sent.

Seeing him shaking his head, Concubine Ning continued: "That's the Dinggan seal that was stamped next to the jade seal when the edict was written."

Leng Qingxiang looked at Concubine Ning in surprise: "Is what the concubine said true?"

"It is absolutely true. I have confirmed with the Emperor yesterday that the gift given to the Empress Dowager at this birthday banquet by the Emperor is the power to decide the future monarch of the Ye Sheng Dynasty. The Empress Dowager has established three dynasties and trained two monarchs.

No one is acting according to reason. Back then, she even gave up her own son and established the emperor as the king. Do you think I can stop worrying now?" Concubine Ning shook her head as she spoke, her expression not very good.

Leng Qingxiang and Ye Mingzhu also changed their expressions. They didn't expect that the emperor would really give such power to the empress dowager. If the person who sells mutton-fat white jade cannot be caught this time, what if the empress dowager has some suspicions? Wouldn't Ru Ling

Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to clean yourself?

"What should we do now?" Ye Mingzhu had no idea. She was still happy when she was immediately hit with a stick. "I'm going to find Brother Huang to find out."

"The Queen Mother has not said that she wants to destroy the emperor's promise. What can you say if you go to the emperor now?" Concubine Ning dismissed her idea with one sentence: "Now we have only two choices." Concubine Ning said with poison in her eyes: "Look for him."

Marry her to a person who can be trusted by the Queen Mother but has no power. If the Queen Mother does not agree, then you have to make your eldest daughter disappear, otherwise with Tang Ao as your backer, she will always be an obstacle."

"Do you have a suitable candidate for Concubine Ning?" Leng Qingxiang asked suspiciously. Of course he didn't want to kill Leng Rutong. Her existence was still useful to him no matter what, although this daughter seemed to disobey him.

"I do have a very good candidate." Ye Huai and others arrived before they were heard, and appeared at the door in a blink of an eye, shaking their turban fans, their faces not at all as worried as Concubine Ning's.

"Huai'er, who are you talking about?" Concubine Ning felt relieved when she saw his confident face.

"Concubine Ning, what do you think of me?" Gong Ziyu, dressed in pink, appeared behind Ye Huaihe with a turban fan in his hand, and his handsome face contained deadly poison.

"Prince Yu really wants to marry Leng Rutong? She doesn't know how many days she will live now." Ye Mingzhu asked straight to the point.

Gong Ziyu raised a fatal smile: "I have been interested in her for a long time. If I hadn't killed Cheng Yaojin on the way that night, she would have been mine now. I don't care how many days she can live, as long as she can get married.

, after the wife dies, there are still countless concubines, right?" Gong Ziyu said that marrying a wife is like buying groceries.

"If you are willing, of course that's fine. If it's not too late, go to the Queen Mother and ask for marriage." Concubine Ning was so happy that no one had chosen her. If Gong Ziyu was willing to marry Leng Rutong, a hottie like him, that would be great. Gong Ziyu is just a dandy.

My dear, even if Leng Rutong marries her, she will only be angered to death by Gong Ziyu's dandyism. This is really a good choice where relatives will hate each other and enemies will be happy.

"Then please invite Concubine Ning to come with me." Young Master Yu Mei's eyes were as silk as silk, and he took Concubine Ning to say that getting married would be easier than just him alone. Ming Gang Concubine Ning Chun.13acv.

Concubine Ning was happy to do this and stood up and accompanied Gong Ziyu out.

Ye Huaihe walked to the bed and held Leng Ruling's hand, which was so thin that only a layer of tender skin remained: "Ruling is getting worse and worse, but there is still no news from the three brains." The worry on Ye Huaihe's face was

It's true, although he and Leng Ruling can't really be said to have much affection, he has known that she is his wife since he was a child, and he definitely cares about her.

Ye Mingzhu said worriedly at the side: "Leng Rutong came here today. I don't know what I said to her, which made her vomit blood twice and she has been in a coma. The doctor also said she didn't know when she would wake up. I'm really afraid of her.

I can't wake up." Ye Mingzhu started to cry again as she spoke.

"Auntie, you have to hold on. What can I do if you're so broken?" Ye Huaihe patted her shoulder and comforted her: "The injury on your forehead hasn't healed yet, so you have to take care of yourself."

Ye Mingzhu felt filled with hatred when she mentioned the injury on her forehead. In addition, now that Ruling was so angry with Leng Rutong that she fell into coma, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became: "It's all that bitch Leng Rutong. I really hate myself for the way I treat her every day."

She is too tolerant, and now Ru Ling has become like this, but she is living happily, and I really can't bear to feel like this."

"If Auntie is still angry, then find someone to vent this bad breath." There was something strange in Ye Huaihe's eyes, Leng Rutong should really teach her a lesson, otherwise she wouldn't know whose world this Ye Shengchao belongs to.

"Huai'er, what do you mean?" Ye Mingzhu asked doubtfully.

Ye Huaihe took out a packet of white medicinal powder from his waist: "This is Xianxin Powder. After eating it, your lungs will ulcerate and you will vomit blood. It is the same as Ling'er's current symptoms. No one will doubt it."

Ye Mingzhu's eyes lit up after hearing this, she happily took the powder and went out.

Leng Qingxiang watched from the side without opening his mouth, knowing that it was useless to persuade her. If he didn't let her vent her anger, he would only make the trouble worse. Let her vent her anger, and he would be quiet. In his heart, although Leng Rutong

It's somewhat useful, but basically it's not suitable for a daughter.

"Miss, miss, it's okay, it's okay." Xiangsi ran all the way into Leng Rutong's room, panting from exhaustion, with beads of sweat hanging on her forehead.

Leng Rutong looked at her with half-squinted eyes: "What's the matter? I see you are so anxious."

Xiangsi swallowed and calmed down and said, "Well, that Gong Ziyu is now going to the Queen Mother. The maid we arranged to stay with Leng Ruling said she overheard what Gong Ziyu and Concubine Ning said about going to the Queen Mother to propose marriage."

"What? What does Gongziyu want to do?" To add insult to injury! Gongziyu, a scumbag, knew that she didn't want to marry him, yet he still asked for a marriage at this time. "Did grandpa go to the Queen Mother to refuse the marriage today?

"

"Xiangsi doesn't know either. The master went and didn't come back, and he didn't send anyone to notify him. I don't know what the situation is."

Leng Rutong lifted up the thin blanket and got out of bed: "Come on, let's go to the Queen Mother's place to have a look." She could never let the Queen Mother agree to Gong Ziyu's request. If she married Gong Ziyu, she might as well kill Gong Ziyu directly.

Xiangsi put her into a misty skirt, combed her hair a little, and then brought her a bowl of medicine from the table: "Young lady has to drink the medicine on time before she goes to the Queen Mother's house."

Leng Rutong took the medicine and saw a small piece of white stuff floating in it and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

Xiangsi looked at it suspiciously, then fished it out with chopsticks and inspected it: "Maybe it's small dregs of medicinal materials."

"Did you prepare this medicine yourself?" Leng Rutong asked worriedly.

Xiangsi nodded: "Xiangsi cooked it himself an hour ago, but a palace maid in the middle said she was busy and asked me to check her stove for her, so I left the time for a cup of tea."

Leng Rutong heard something was wrong: "Bring me a silver needle."

Xiangsi quickly took off the silver hairpin on her head. Leng Rutong took it and inserted it into the medicine. The silver hairpin instantly turned into dark brown. Leng Rutong had a cold look on his face: "What a poison, I'm still here."

I'm not out of danger, I just want to die early."

Xiangsi was startled when he saw it, and said tremblingly: "Miss, it's all Xiangsi's fault for being accidentally poisoned." What would happen if the lady drank it?

"You don't have to blame yourself, they will always find a way to do harm." Leng Rutong walked to the window sill with the medicine and poured the medicine into a cosmos pot on the windowsill. The petals of the cosmos instantly turned yellowish brown and withered.

Leng Rutong stretched out her slender hand and picked one and handed it to Xiang Si: "Take it to the Imperial Hospital and ask why the flower has withered. Go back quickly. I'll wait for you at the Queen Mother's house first."

Xiangsi immediately understood what Leng Rutong meant, nodded and left.

Leng Rutong had someone prepare a carriage and went to the Queen Mother's Lingci Palace. Lingci Palace was filled with joy. Leng Rutong reported the news, received Sheng Yi and went in. In the large room, the Queen Mother took the Sitting at the front seat holding the prayer beads, he listened to the words of Princess Dexian next to him with a peaceful face, nodding and smiling from time to time.

The room was full of people. In addition to Princess Dexian who was chatting with her, there were also the third prince, the sixth prince, Gong Ziyu, Concubine Ning, and their personal attendants.

Leng Rutong walked in and bowed obediently. When the Queen Mother saw her coming, she immediately stretched out her hand to call her over and said with a look of relief: "The girl who was so weak a few days ago is now standing in such a healthy state. In front of my family, Ai Jia is really happy."

"Rutong has let the Queen Mother worry." Leng Rutong replied while scanning the people in the room with her peripheral vision. Gongziyu came to ask for a marriage, so what were the third and sixth princes doing? Leng Rutong haha She laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's so lively here. Did Rutong disturb your happiness?"

"What are you talking about? The Ai family just happened to send someone to announce your arrival. It's God's will that you come. You must have heard that the Ai family wants to find a marriage for you, but old man Tang came to the Ai family earlier and said You have to wait until Ya'er's child comes back. How can you wait for such a happy event? The Ai family rejected him." Empress Dowager Lingci pulled Leng Rutong to sit on the jade couch next to her, seemingly doting on her. she.

But Leng Rutong understood the meaning of her words very clearly. She had already made up her mind on this matter. She had already scolded Tang Aolai for refusing. You girl, accept it if you have the sense. Don't make me angry.

As expected, this ginger is still old and spicy. Before she could say a word, the Queen Mother preemptively blocked everything she had to say.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the daughter-in-law just wants the Seventh Prince to figure out whether it is appropriate to celebrate the wedding at this time. Although getting married is a happy event, there are also taboos about weddings, and the person who wishes to marry has to calculate his destiny. You can't just find someone at random to celebrate the wedding. , so I want to wait for the seventh prince to come back before this matter can be settled easily." Leng Rutong also put the matter back in an airtight manner.

"Silly boy, Ya'er is not the only Taoist priest on this night. The Ai family has found someone to figure it out. The tenth day of the lunar month is the best day to celebrate. If San Nao doesn't get it now, the Ai family can't just watch you. When I die, I have to do something for you. You are the eldest sister. According to seniority, you will be the first to celebrate, and then it will be Ru Ling's turn." Queen Mother Lingci explained to Leng Rutong why she wanted to celebrate her, and at the same time warned her not to be ungrateful. .
