monopolize my master

Chapter 36

"You have to think clearly." Ling Yun suddenly said seriously, "I still have military power in the court at least. Even if the emperor wants to get rid of me, he will have concerns about it. But your situation is completely different..." Ling Yun worried He said, "Not to mention that although the Taifu has a high rank, he has no influence in the court, and the East Palace is within the imperial city. If the plan fails, you must bear the brunt of it. You...why jump into the fire pit?"

"Brother, let me ask you, did you find Jing and the prince?" Ling Xiao asked seriously.

"not yet."

"How many courtiers can be combined?"

"Less than five people."

"Is it famous for being a teacher?"

"...No. What exactly are you trying to say?"

"An expedition without a name is tantamount to asking for death." Ling Xiao shook his head, "The whereabouts of Prince Jinghe are unknown, I can understand my father's feelings. But our top priority now is to delay as much as possible to find Prince Jinghe, and then Make big plans. Otherwise, in the eyes of the common people, what is the difference between us and those foreign thieves who caused riots on the border?"

"That's the truth...but it's too late." Ling Yun frowned, "The emperor is ruthless. He attacked Jinghe Wang. It is impossible for the father to support the prince for many years without leaving a flaw, and the emperor may not be completely aware of it... …Thinking about it carefully, was it just because of your reputation that he called you into the palace? The courtiers who recommended you always like to ponder the holy meaning. The Ling family has been in business for many years, and this dynasty emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business. Since the founding of the country, there has been no son of a merchant The reason why it is so easy to enter the palace to be an official? And those ministers did not object. The way of officialdom is dangerous everywhere. Many people struggled for so many years to barely reach the fifth-rank official position, and you are treated like a third-rank official. , but they have no jealousy and exclusion? Ling Xiao, as smart as you, don't you understand what this means?"

"I know."

Ling Xiao sighed softly, "Since you have decided to plan something, you can't get a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den. There must always be someone in the palace to plan. Instead of other people, it's better for your family to rest assured. There will definitely be turmoil. Don’t try to persuade me again, brother, I have my own measure.”

"But……"

"Ling Xiao, I'm back."

Su Huang's disappointed voice suddenly sounded in the palace.The two hurriedly silenced.

"How is the emperor?"

Seeing Su Huang's dejected look, Ling Xiao hurriedly went up to meet him and asked with concern.

"Father, he... is in a bad mood." Su Huang whispered, "Maybe the missing of the emperor's whereabouts has hit him too hard. No matter how much I persuade him, it's useless."

"Jing and Wang's whereabouts are only unknown... There is no bad news yet, and we can't give up." Ling Xiao said softly, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the prince?"

Su Huang shook his head wearily, then he suddenly raised his face and looked straight at Ling Xiao.

"Ling Xiao, can I entrust you with one thing?"

"You said."

"Father is in a bad mood now, and I have no way to tell him about reinstating you to your original post. So in the meantime, can you help me go out of the palace to investigate the whereabouts of Uncle Huang?"

"I know that this matter is a little difficult, but I really have no other way..." Su Huang rubbed and whispered, "The only person I can trust right now is you..."

Ling Xiao was startled when he heard this.An indescribable feeling spread from the bottom of his heart, making him unable to breathe.If he breaks with the court, he will inevitably turn against the royal family.Su Huang respected his father very much, if he knew that he was plotting against the emperor's life, how could he forgive him?

Just when Ling Xiao wanted to refuse, Su Huang's red eyes were reflected in his eyes.

Ling Xiao sighed.

"……it is good."

"Thank you, Ling Xiao." Su Huang whispered, "Also, I'm sorry."

Ling Xiao forced a smile, with mixed feelings in his heart.

If there is such a day,

He is afraid that he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"You guys go home first. It's been a long time in Jinping, it's hard work." Su Huang said softly, "I will try my best to persuade my father to let him regain his spirit."

Ling Xiao smiled, but did not speak after all.He and Ling Yun looked at each other and left the East Palace.

Lingfu.

"Big Brother and Second Brother are back!" The younger sister of the Ling family ran out to greet the three of them with a smile, "Hey, why did you bring back a Wenwenxiuxiu talent? Is it to teach Xiaoyu how to read?"

"No." Ling Xiao patted the little girl's head with a smile, "This Mr. Guan is a friend I just met. Where's the father? But at home?"

"Not here." Ling Yu pursed her mouth, "Father hasn't come back for a long time, he just sent someone back to tell us to prepare, saying that he is going to take us to Jiangnan for fun."

Jiangnan?Has the father already prepared to let the family leave Donghui?

"Hey, brother, have you ever been to Jiangnan?" Ling Yu said coquettishly, grabbing the hands of the two elder brothers, "Brothers come back this time, you should play with Xiaoyu more."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you again." Ling Yun smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry Xiaoyu, can you go play with the nanny first? Your brother Ling Xiao and I still have something to say."

"Okay. Got it." Xiaoyu pursed her mouth and muttered, "It's like this every time... Is there anything more important than Xiaoyu..."

Looking at Ling Yu's small figure, the two brothers were speechless for a moment.

"Ling Xiao, let's go to the study to discuss the countermeasures." Ling Yun suddenly looked serious, "There must be no mistakes, understand?"

Ling Xiao nodded heavily.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Why didn't I understand a word?" The scholar asked suspiciously, "Ling Xiao, you said that we are friends of life and death, right...you...what are you discussing?"

Ling Xiao looked at the scholar and sighed lowly.

"Even if you don't tell you, you will try your best to find out." Ling Xiao said helplessly, "It's okay to tell you, come to the study."

Three days later.

"So, isn't it an emergency? Why are you here?"

The scholar looked at Ling Xiao displeasedly, and muttered in a low voice.

"Well, he looks pretty good." Ling Xiao shook his fan, looked at the scholar calmly, and said with a smile, "Scholar, um, no, it's Mr. Guan, who looks so handsome and suave after a little tidying up. It seems that this Zuihualou is your world today."

"Hey, you boy." The bookish face was ashen, "I thought you were an honest gentleman, but I didn't expect you to come to the brothel every day to fool around... That's all, and I was also involved. I want to go back and help Ling Yun , stay here by yourself!"

"What are you in a hurry for?" Ling Xiao grabbed the scholar and said in a low voice, "Ling Yun at the border has already sent someone to investigate, and we can't help you if we go. You have been in the rivers and lakes, so you know that this city is the most well-informed Where is the place?"

"Could it be that you want to call it Zuihualou?" The scholar asked Ling Xiao with a sideways glance.

"You're somewhat enlightened." Ling Xiao sneered, "Zihualou is one of the most famous restaurants in Donghui City, and it's the best place for entertainment for those in the court. Yesterday I heard that General Hussars returned to the court in victory. According to his judgment, he will definitely spend the whole day in Zuihualou today. Ling Yun said that General Hussars is King Jinghe's general this time. He must know something."

The scholar sneered, "He won't tell you."

"It's inevitable for people to drink too much and talk nonsense. If there's a gentle pillow breeze blowing, wouldn't it be easy to get any information?" Ling Xiao sneered.

"That's what you say, but what are you... planning to do?" the scholar asked, "Could it be possible to make those girls obediently obey your orders?"

"Just wait and see." Ling Xiao waved his fan and swaggered into Zuihualou.The scholar scolded a bastard in a low voice, but he had no choice but to follow up with the cheek.

"Master Ling----"

Before entering the door, Ling Xiao was surrounded by girls swarming up.Ling Xiao chuckled and greeted all the girls one by one.It caused the girls to exclaim again.

The scholar sneered aside.Heh, it's such a big fight, and you lose sight of the other, let's see how you end up persuading them one by one.

"Ling came here this time to ask my mother for something, and please let me finish talking with my mother first, okay?" Ling Xiao gently put her white index finger on her lips, and smiled. made a silent movement.

"Okay, Mr. Ling, remember to come and find someone after you finished speaking." The girls dispersed after seeing this, "Young master is about to talk, you all go to your own business, don't disturb the young master's business."

Ling Xiao hurriedly pulled the bustard away, hid mysteriously in a room, and handed over a silver ingot with a smile.

"Young master is still so polite." The bustard's smile trembled wildly, "Young master, if you have any orders, just tell me, and I will do my best to help you fulfill your wish."

"It's nothing serious for me to come today." Ling Xiao said with a smile, "I heard that my mother is proficient in the art of disguise, and she is also a master at it. Can you disguise Ling as a woman and push it out as today's oiran?"

"Master Ling..." The bustard covered her mouth in surprise, "Why is that?"

"It doesn't mean anything else, I just want to experience what it's like to be a girl." Ling Xiao bent her peach blossom eyes and said with a smile, "After the matter is done, I will definitely not treat my mother badly. However, this matter must be kept a secret for me. "

With that said, Ling Xiao hurriedly handed a few gold leaves to the old bustard.

"...Okay, okay, young master, please wait a moment, I will...make up for young master."

The old bustard happily went to prepare the materials.

"By the way, Mom, please take care of my friend who came with me." Ling Xiao smiled and looked at the scholar with a smirk on his face, "It's his first time here, so don't neglect him."

"How dare the young master's friends neglect you?" The old bustard smiled flatteringly, "I have already sent someone to go, and I will personally put on the makeup for the young master."
