Politics and Non-Politics - Desire

The night sky is dotted with remnant stars, the night is still young, the streets of the imperial city are still a little bit of light, the rustling night wind is still carrying moist water vapor, and when it blows over the face, it is slightly cool.

Ying Zheng finally returned to the palace at midnight, without disturbing anyone, walked in through the side door without a sound, and walked straight to the study. The past two days have been eventful, and every step of the plan must not go wrong!

Meng Qi had been waiting outside the study for a long time, and finally saw Ying Zheng's figure, and rushed to greet him, "My lord, you are finally back."

Seeing that something important happened to him, Ying Zheng asked calmly, "What happened?"

Meng Qi whispered: "The third prince is here, waiting for you in the front hall."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "What is he doing here at this time?"

Meng Qi shook his head, "I don't know, it seems to be something very important, otherwise I wouldn't have waited from Xushi until now."

"He has been waiting for so long." Ying Zheng felt a little curious. The third brother had always had a lukewarm relationship with him. It was not clear whether he was an enemy or a friend.On the contrary, Concubine Li and Concubine Shu are very close.

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth slowly curled up, soldiers came to block him, and water came to cover him, "Then I will go see him."

Ying Ling sat in the front hall and thanked the servant who brought him tea. The tea was added round after round. Ying Zheng hadn't shown any signs of showing up yet. He sighed slightly in his heart. Could it be that he did it on purpose? of?Are you testing yourself?

Ying Zheng looked at the bright front hall, and caught a glimpse of Ying Ling wearing a fox fur cloak from a distance. He was wearing such a thick coat in this weather. It seemed that his third brother was really fragile.

Moved slowly and walked in, said with a smile: "Third Brother, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Hearing his voice, Ying Ling quickly raised her head to look at Ying Zheng, and smiled slightly, "It's okay, I just didn't know you were so busy." She glanced at Ying Zheng's black clothes with interest, and she still hadn't taken off her clothes yet. Under court clothes.

Ying Zheng didn't care when he heard the words. He sat on the main seat, picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and asked, "I heard that the third brother is in a hurry? I don't know what it is?"

Ying Ling nodded, his pale cheeks were slightly warmed by the candlelight, and he smiled, "I'm here to help you."

help me?Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and squinted at Ying Ling, obviously not believing him.

Immediately, he put down the teacup again, with a smile in his eyes, and joked: "Could it be that the third brother wants to go to Weijiang City to kill the enemy?"

Ying Ling smiled and shook her head, "Don't be stupid, you know what I mean."

"Third brother, is he confused?" Ying Zheng still smiled, and calmly "reminded" him that Concubine Li and Concubine Shu are exhaling from the same nostril, but now Concubine Li's son wants to help him, could it be Concubine Shu's trick ?I want to use this as a bait to get the king to take the bait, and then reveal it to the emperor to punish myself for forming a party for personal gain!

"I'm not confused, I know exactly what I'm doing." Ying Ling stood up, looked straight at Ying Zheng without dodging, and said, "Now it's time to make a choice, besides you, it's Big Brother, or It's Yue'er, isn't it?"

Ying Zheng didn't answer, but the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the curvature of his mouth did not disappear. Ying Ling was so straightforward!Asked: "Why did the third brother make such a choice?"

With the same smile in Ying Ling's eyes, he replied, "Because I also live for myself for a day, and I don't want to be used as a target by my father anymore."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng still couldn't believe him.

"You and I, what kind of existence are we to the father, I believe you also understand very well that we are just pawns set up by the father for the eldest brother." Ying Ling saw Ying Zheng's increasingly cold face, and knew I poked at the pain he and I shared, and said: "I have no real power, so the situation is not dangerous, but you are different. You have no way out."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at him, the third elder brother who had always been ill, with admiration. Hidden under his frail body was an exquisite heart. He had a thorough insight into his own plight, which was somewhat interesting.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and asked again: "Then why didn't the third brother choose Ying Yue?"

Ying Ling smiled, "We all know Yue'er's temperament. He can't afford it, and he doesn't want to take it on."

"That's all?" He really didn't believe that Ying Ling had such a great awareness for the sake of the country.

"Concubine Shu is an enemy to me and my mother." Ying Ling's eyes flickered, "I am an enemy."

"What kind of enmity?" Ying Zheng became more and more interested, but he didn't know that they were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface.

Ying Ling smiled wryly, her eyes darkened a bit, "My body is all caused by her, do you think she is an enemy?"

Ying Zheng was also taken aback. Wasn't Ying Ling the root cause of his disease when he fell into the lake in winter when he was a child?Since then, his physical condition has plummeted, and Concubine Shu saw him falling into the lake in time, and someone rescued him. Could it be that Concubine Shu planned all this?

"When I fell into the lake in winter when I was a child, I just had a high fever. After the fever subsided, I was fine." Ying Ling recalled that night, when the icy lake water hit the sky and covered the sky, making him lose consciousness instantly.

"What made me what I am today is not the icy cold water of the lake, but internal injuries."

Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes slightly stared, "Internal injuries?"

Ying Ling sighed softly, "This is what a quack doctor who took my pulse a long time ago said. He said that someone took advantage of my cold body to inject the internal energy of ice into my body, making the cold worse. That internal force has been hidden in my meridians and cannot be discharged, so it has been cured for a long time."

"You mean, Concubine Shu or among the few slaves who came to rescue you back then, some of them are martial arts masters?" Ying Zheng quickly grasped the point of the words.

Ying Ling nodded, "Besides Concubine Shu, the one who came to save me back then was An Ruo by her side. After I knew the truth, I tried it secretly. Won't."

"Then there is only one possibility left." Concubine Shu is good at martial arts, and she is also a master.When Ying Zheng thought about it, such a person was hiding beside his father's pillow, hum!It's really sleeping with a sword in your arms.Just like a cold poisonous snake, it may spring up at any time to give you a fatal blow!

Ying Zheng felt that he was really worth it today, and he actually knew so many secrets, but he still had to say what he had to say. "Third brother, I don't need people who talk about it here."

Ying Ling laughed loudly, and said: "You are much more tactful than I thought, I thought you would say, 'I don't need trash here'." Staring seriously at Ying Zheng's dark eyes, he said: "If I Can you help me get rid of Yue'er?"

"It doesn't sound very attractive." Ying Zheng said lightly. He pretended to be friendly with Concubine Shu in the early stage, but now he caught off guard and bit Concubine Shu and the others.

"What if I can help you get the support of Second Brother and Concubine Lin?" Ying Ling continued.

"This sounds pretty good." Mentioning this point, Ying Zheng became interested, and Ying Yue himself was not afraid.Although he was prepared, there were Han Fei and Han Qin standing behind him.Ying Zheng knows how difficult his husband is to deal with!If he could get Concubine Lin's help, there would be someone in the court who could suppress Han Fei and buy him some time.

"Although I don't know their plan." Ying Ling took a sip of tea, "But no matter how flawless their plan is, the key to success or failure depends entirely on Yueer, so if something happens to Yueer, their plan will fail gone."

"That's true." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Ying Ling smiled, "I have a way to make Ying Yue disappear forever, so it won't get in your way."

Then he said to Ying Zheng: "So, tell the people in ambush in the palace to stop, and I promise to make Yue'er disappear voluntarily." Ying Ling smiled slyly, and said again: "Besides, he will disappear in a place that is most beneficial to you." time."

Ying Zheng also admired Ying Ling a little in his heart. He actually noticed the subtle work he had arranged, and was ready to take Ying Yue's life at any time.Your best moment?Really interesting!

He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news of third brother." Ying Ling's smiling face is like a dagger, if he can use it, it is also a sharp weapon!Although this kind of cooperation is more like seeking skin from a tiger, as long as the purpose is the same, it doesn't matter if they use each other.

Ying Ling gathered the fox fur on her body, "I won't let you down." She raised an eyebrow at Ying Zheng and smiled, "For you, timing is everything, isn't it?"

Ying Zheng chuckled a few times, did not deny his words, his eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and said in a deep voice, "Then let me see what you are capable of!"
