The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife

Bei Chenling invited Lin Aoxue to drink with her. She changed into plain clothes, and asked the servants of the palace to set up a carriage. She led Lin Aoxue back to the general's residence first, and changed her general clothes. Bei Chenling was in the lobby of the general's residence. While waiting, she was still amazed by the tea. This house is magnificent, and she will get a set whenever she wants.

When Lin Aoxue changed clothes and came out, the two made an appointment to go to the nearby Changjie. Bei Chenhe in the study heard that Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling had just rejected his finger marriage in front of him, and then they made an appointment together. Going out to play, Bei Chenhe laughed angrily at the news, he shook his head coldly, and hummed:

"Let them make trouble!"

Lin Aoxue was not very familiar with the capital. When she came here last year, she spent most of the time in the inn and seldom came out to hang out. Although the pattern of the capital had not changed much compared to ten years ago, the shops and other things It always changes and changes, so, where there is beautiful scenery and where there is good wine, she really does not know as well as Bei Chenling.

She originally thought that the restaurant Bei Chenling was going to was not far away, but to Lin Aoxue's surprise, the carriage walked forward, and soon a calm lake appeared in Lin Aoxue's sight. There was a thin layer of ice, and at a glance, the willow trees on the shore were also bare, looking extremely desolate.

It was not the first time that Lin Aoxue had seen such a scene. She quickly reacted and said in surprise:

"Zhanyang Lake."

Bei Chenling smiled and nodded, then gently pulled the curtain of the car window, pointed at the pavilion on the other side of the lake, and said:

"Let's go to the Golden Sparrow Building."

Golden Bird House.

Lin Aoxue suddenly had an impression in her heart. When she came to the capital last year, she also heard of Jinquelou, and this building was a little special. She once took the golden key to the top of Jinquelou to stay for a while, but did not find anything unusual. It was only later that she learned from Pei Qing that every three years, the old three parties under her father would gather together.

Her mood became inexplicable, and she turned to look at Bei Chenling, only to see the latter looking out of the window with a soft demeanor, as if feeling Lin Aoxue's gaze, Bei Chenling turned her head and glanced at her. When they bumped into each other, Bei Chenling pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.

Lin Aoxue remembered that Bei Chenling told her last night that he would take her to meet someone. It turned out that inviting her to drink together was not without purpose.

What a smart woman.

Both of them are so powerful, Lin Aoxue thought to herself.

The carriage circled around the shore of Zhanyang Lake, and soon arrived at Jinquelou. It seemed that Beichenling was a regular customer of Jinquelou. Before she got off the carriage, the servant at Jinquelou who was welcoming guests had already recognized her. After getting off her carriage, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face, and called out loudly:

"Miss Ling!"

Lin Aoxue tutted, and after Bei Chenling got off the carriage, he led Lin Aoxue into the Golden Sparrow Building with ease. Perhaps it was the first time someone was so close to Bei Chenling, and he didn't look like a servant. The shop assistant looked at Lin Aoxue more, but was taken aback by the hideous scar on Lin Aoxue's face, and did not dare to look any further.

The shop assistant led Bei Chenling and Lin Aoxue to the top floor of the pavilion. The further up they went, the fewer people in the building. When they reached the top of the Golden Sparrow Building, there were only three wine tables in the entire hall. He didn't stop, but took Lin Aoxue to the only private room on the top floor of Jinque Building.

Lin Aoxue looked around Ya's indoor environment, the decoration of this Jinque Building was more exquisite than her general's mansion, and she couldn't help but sighed at the generosity of the master behind the Jinque Building.

Shortly after the two were seated, the second shopkeeper brought drinks and side dishes. Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling chatted while looking out the window of the private room.

Lin Aoxue picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The door of the private room was suddenly knocked on from the outside. Bei Chenling motioned for him to enter the room. Lin Aoxue turned to look, and saw a shopkeeper holding a pot of new wine next to a maid. They came in together, and when the door closed, Bei Chenling got up and said to Lin Aoxue:

"Change your clothes, we should go out."

After realizing it, Lin Aoxue immediately changed into Xiao Er's clothes, while Bei Chenling changed the maid's clothes. After Jin Chan took off her shell, Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling came out of the private room with their heads lowered and walked down the wooden ladder. Go around again into the backyard of Jinque Building, change clothes again in the house in the backyard, go out through the side door of the backyard, and get on a carriage again in a secluded place.

This time, the carriage did not drive for a long time. It was only half a stick of incense. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the noisy alley in the West City. Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling, who had been disguised several times, got off the carriage, got into the alley, and went around again. Go outside a small courtyard and walk in through the hidden side door.

The yard is not big. On the left and right sides, there are two vegetable fields with a radius of one or two feet surrounded by stones, and some cold-resistant side dishes are planted. go.

Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling passed through the front yard. The people in the house heard the movement outside, opened the door and looked out. The person recognized Bei Chenling, but felt bad for Lin Aoxue and did not dare to give in easily. He opened his mouth and said:

"Last time, my uncle didn't say that he wanted to see his relative's child, but I brought him here."

The eyes of the young man who was guarding the door flickered slightly, then nodded, and turned to walk Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling into the room.

There was only one square table in the central hall, and there was a jade Buddha on the opposite wall. There was no one in the room. Bei Chenling took Lin Aoxue in through the small door on the left, passed through the house where the clutter was piled up, and came to the backyard.

There was a man sitting quietly under the old tree in the backyard, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking. His legs were covered with a blanket. The east wind in the courtyard was bleak. The gray hair of the man also swayed with the wind. In the past, he said:

"Uncle Muku."

Hearing the sound, the man turned his head, his eyes swept across Bei Chenling's face, but the next moment, he slid towards Lin Aoxue beside Bei Chenling.

Sui Ming's pupils shrank, and his expression was looming with excitement. He was so excited that he seemed to want to stand up, but while struggling to get up, the blanket fell to the ground, and his legs seemed to be caught by something, and his body was unstable. , is about to fall.

Lin Aoxue suddenly stepped forward, and quickly supported Sui Ming's arm, so Sui Ming did not fall to the ground, but only leaned against Lin Aoxue gently.

Lin Aoxue's nose was sour. She was surprised to find that Sui Ming was very thin. There was not much flesh on his arms, except for the skin and bones. It had been more than a year since she last saw Sui Ming. In order to prevent her from revealing her identity, Ming just exchanged Bei Chenhe's trust in Lin Aoxue in a self-destructive way. As a result, Sui Ming was captured by Bei Chenhe, and Lin Aoxue didn't even have a chance to save him.

Later, she heard from Pei Qing in the north that Sui Ming had been rescued, but her legs were broken. Although she was sad at that time, she was not too worried. After all, as long as people were still alive, it was still good.

However, seeing Sui Ming with his own eyes today, Lin Aoxue was shocked and saddened to discover that Sui Ming had almost become a different person. There was not much muscle left on his body. Imagine, he must have suffered a lot of torture during the period when he was captured by Bei Chenhe. Bei Chenhe not only abolished Sui Ming's legs, but also his martial arts.

Sui Ming was originally less than fifty years old. When Lin Aoxue saw him last year, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. Now that they meet again, in Lin Aoxue's eyes, Sui Ming is like an old man, dying.

She couldn't imagine how Sui Ming spent this year. A person who used to have high martial arts skills can only sit in a daze in a small courtyard. If it wasn't for Sui Ming's firmness of mind, he would have already gone crazy.

"Uncle Muku..."

Lin Aoxue called out in a trembling voice, and Sui Ming grabbed her wrist excitedly, looking at each other silently for a while, tears streaming down her face.

"Cher."

Sui Ming's voice was very hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time. Lin Aoxue forcibly endured the grief in her heart and forcibly held back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes. She took a deep breath, but she could only reluctantly respond:

"I'm here."

Bei Chenling stood aside, seeing such a scene, there was also a layer of fog in her eyes, she helplessly looked away, her red lips pursed lightly, and she could barely restrain the urge to cry.

"Okay, okay!"

Sui Ming said ok twice in a row, he was emotional, and the hands that grabbed Lin Aoxue's wrist kept shaking. To see Lin Aoxue again, all the hardships he suffered in the previous year were all worth it.

"Uncle Muku, sit down first."

Lin Aoxue supported Sui Ming, lest he accidentally fall.

When Sui Ming heard the words, he sat back on the chair again according to the words. Lin Aoxue picked up the thin blanket that had fallen on the ground, shook the dust on it, and then mentioned that Sui Ming covered it on his lap, and took the initiative to speak:

"Uncle Mong, Xue'er is back to see you."

Sui Ming's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Lin Aoxue with relief in his eyes. When Lin Aoxue put the thin blanket on his lap, he secretly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, and then reached out to grab it again. Holding Lin Aoxue's wrist, he said to her:

"It's good to be back, Xue Er, Uncle Muku has something to tell you."

Lin Aoxue nodded, Bei Chenling sent Lin Aoxue, and the task on her body was considered completed, so she took the initiative to say:

"Then I'll wait outside."

Before she could finish her sentence, Sui Ming turned his head:

"You don't need to evade the Lord Ling, you can also listen to these words."

Bei Chenling was stunned when he heard the words.

Before that, although she managed to rescue Sui Ming from Bei Chenhe, Sui Ming never really trusted her. No matter how hard she worked, she only got one sentence from Sui Ming, Ning Muxue was still alive. .

After that, no matter how she asked her whereabouts, Sui Ming didn't speak anymore. Fortunately, after Bei Chenling found out that Lin Aoxue was behind a woman, he spent a lot of thought to investigate, and then he gradually pinpointed that Lin Aoxue was Ning Muxue.

Today, she brought Lin Aoxue to the small courtyard, and she also completely gained Sui Ming's trust. Sui Ming asked her to stay. Since she had no reason to leave, she looked at Lin Aoxue, stood quietly, and waited for Sui Ming. Go on and on.

Sui Ming pulled Lin Aoxue's wrist, lest he would let go and Lin Aoxue would disappear. All this was just a dream that he could not ask for.

Fortunately, Lin Aoxue has been standing beside him obediently, he can see and touch, this junior who has made him high hopes really appears by his side.

He let out a breath of hot air, patted the back of Lin Aoxue's hand, and then motioned for Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling to sit down on the stone bench beside her, and then he said:

"Xue'er, Lord Ling, what I have said to you now has a lot to do with it. After you have heard it, keep it in your heart. Remember to leave this small courtyard, so don't tell the fourth person."

Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling looked at each other, then nodded earnestly:

"Uncle Muku, don't worry."

Sui Ming sighed heavily, and then he opened his mouth and slowly said what was pressing in his heart:

"Xue'er, Uncle Mong had gone through a lot of connections and conducted a lot of investigations in secret, and finally found out the truth that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was framed."

Lin Aoxue's expression became solemn, Bei Chenling also frowned, Lin Aoxue's throat moved, her fists clenched subconsciously, and then asked:

"Uncle Mong, you mean, you figured out why Bei Chenhe wanted to attack my father?"

Sui Ming nodded vigorously, a gleam of light burst out in his eyes, full of undisguised anger and hatred, and said through gritted teeth:

"Yes, there was only one Bei Chenlong who harmed General Ning at first, but Bei Chenlong is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and it is not a threat to General Ning at all. The person who really gave General Ning a fatal blow was Bei Chenhe. ."

Having said that, Sui Ming glanced sideways at Beichen Ling, but seeing the latter's expression of deep thought, but without any emotional ups and downs, Sui Ming nodded secretly, and then continued:

"Speaking of which, General Ning also suffered a disaster. A few years ago, when he entered the palace to attend the palace banquet, he accidentally encountered a scandal of the royal family. He was slightly drunk at the banquet and went out to breathe, but he met the prince Bei Chenhe and the emperor. The concubine's private meeting, he panicked and asked Bei Chenhe to find out the movement, but fortunately he withdrew in time and did not let Beichenhe recognize his identity."

When Sui Ming said this, Lin Aoxue had a look of shock on his face, and Bei Chenling also widened his eyes in surprise, and said in surprise:

"Prince and concubines have a private meeting?"

Beichenhe is famous for his cleanliness in the capital. He has only one princess, and that is Beichenling's mother. When Beichenling was young, the princess died, and Beichenhe never remarried, so the palace only has Beichenling as the county lord.

Unexpectedly, they heard from Sui Ming today that Bei Chenhe was having an affair with the emperor's concubine. If the news spreads, not to mention how angry the emperor will be, just the world's leisurely mouth is enough to bring Bei Chenhe to ruin.

Lin Aoxue frowned and asked in shock:

"Presumably later Beichen He found out that it was his father who bumped into his secret that day."

Sui Ming sneered, nodded and said:

"Yeah or not. Speaking of which, this disaster was caused by the general himself. After he bumped into Bei Chenhe and his concubine, he buried it in his heart, and no one ever mentioned it. Once this secret is hidden, it is ten A few years, until one time, Beichen He came to visit the mansion, and the general drank some wine and leaked the matter."

Lin Aoxue's heart tensed. Ning Yiyun missed the matter. The other party was Bei Chenhe. With Bei Chenhe's intelligence, how could he not guess what happened many years ago? Yiyun's suspicion, because of this matter, Bei Chenhe couldn't help but get rid of Ning Yiyun.

"The general also knew that he was in trouble after the military, so he prepared the golden key, secretly hidden the forces under his hand, and at the same time wrote a document, intending to resign and go into hiding, but the disaster came sooner than he expected. , he didn't have time to deal with it, and before the memorial of resignation was handed over to the emperor's case, the government of Zhenguo was slaughtered by the whole family."

Bei Chenling's face sank, and Lin Aoxue clenched his fists. It turned out that this was the truth that the Duke of Zhenguo was destroyed.

How ridiculous.

More than 100 lives were lost because Ning Yiyun lost his words after being drunk, and revealed the secret he had kept for more than ten years. And Bei Chenhe's hostility towards Ning Yiyun has not been resolved after more than ten years.

Fortunately, these two still look like best friends in front of others.

Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth, Bei Chenling looked up at her, her eyes were complicated, she never thought that the truth was like this. She thought that Bei Chenhe was enough to disappoint her, but unexpectedly, Bei Chenhe's viciousness and hypocrisy far exceeded her imagination.

From the beginning, it was Bei Chenhe's fault, but because he covered up this mistake, he made mistakes again and again.

Ning Yiyun had already concealed what he saw, and did not take the initiative to provoke Bei Chenhe, but still ushered in this unwarranted disaster. Lin Aoxue was trembling with anger, Bei Chenling reached out and patted the back of her hand comfortingly, but didn't say anything to comfort her.

Because she knew that in her capacity, she could not comfort Lin Aoxue.

It was ridiculous to say, because to Lin Aoxue, she was already the daughter of the enemy. Now she is sitting next to Lin Aoxue, listening to Sui Ming tell about the crimes his father committed, and she is also brainstorming with Lin Aoxue and others, thinking about how to deal with Bei Chenhe. Bei Chenhe is very successful as a minister, but as a father , but failed miserably.

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, then closed her eyes deeply, and opened them again after a long time, the hatred in her eyes was forcibly suppressed by her. It is extremely dangerous for her to show hatred in her eyes.

"I didn't expect it to be like this."

Her shoulders slumped, and her eyes were thoughtful, even more sad and helpless.

More than ten years have passed since the tragic incident of the Duke of Zhenguo, and now even if the truth is known, no one can vindicate Ning Yiyun. Now that Beichenhe is so powerful that even the emperor cannot suppress Beichenhe, it will be even more difficult for Lin Aoxue to seek revenge.

The divine light in Sui Ming's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Aoxue, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Aoxue's wrist, and said solemnly:

"Judging from the current situation, Beichenhe is mostly trying to usurp the throne. The emperor's health is not as good as the day. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is declining day by day, and because of last year's drought, the people all over the world are increasingly complaining about the emperor. Gao, on the contrary, Bei Chenhe gradually attracted the ministers in the court and began to control the government and real power."

Lin Aoxue listened carefully, she also had some guesses about it, Bei Chenhe spent so much effort to get rid of Bei Chenlong, and tried every means to ruin the emperor's reputation, and even privately attracted important officials in the court, if he said he had no idea about the throne, Lin Aoxue didn't believe what she said.

Now Lin Aoxue has learned the truth of what happened at the beginning. With the emperor's current state, it is extremely unrealistic for them to rely on the emperor to defend Ning Yiyun's injustice. They have to find a way to save the emperor, or support a new prince to sit on the throne.

Lin Aoxue was thinking about it, but she heard Sui Ming's voice again:

"In recent years, the princes under the emperor's knees have died suddenly one by one. Except for the fourth prince who died in his early years, the third prince was shot in the knee, and the fifth prince was killed when he went to the north, and two princes in the palace died of illness for no reason. Only The remaining sixth prince, who is less than five years old, cannot support the overall situation, and the power in the palace has been hollowed out by Bei Chenhe."

The more Sui Ming said, the heavier Lin Aoxue's heart became. The current situation had reached an extremely serious level, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a close call.

If Bei Chenhe still has military power in his hands, he doesn't even need to make any special preparations. As long as the emperor dies of illness, only a small sixth prince can succeed him. After a long time, no matter what the reason for the death of the sixth prince, Bei Chenhe will sit on the throne without any effort.

And what Bei Chenhe is doing now is not just for the throne, he wants to be justifiable, and even make plans for the future development. He not only wants to ascend to the throne, but also to sit on the dragon with the support of thousands of people. chair.

So, he didn't make a move.

But anyone with a heart knows that the change, or the catastrophe, is more accurate, and it will come soon.

They couldn't help thinking, with the strength in their hands, could they stop Bei Chenhe?

"If you wait for Bei Chenhe to act, the situation will become very passive."

It was neither Sui Ming nor Lin Aoxue who said this, but Bei Chen Ling who had been listening silently to Sui Ming's story from the beginning. Lin Aoxue and Sui Ming turned their heads at the same time, but seeing Bei Chenling's brows furrowed, his eyes showed two points of deep thought, and continued:

"Judging from what Uncle Mong just said, Bei Chenhe has already prepared everything, and now he only owes one east wind. It won't take long before news of the emperor's death will come out in the capital. We can't be so passive, we must be in Beichen. It's better to start before He starts."

As Bei Chenhe's daughter, Bei Chenling is actually making suggestions for Lin Aoxue and others.

Sui Ming looked at Bei Chen Ling in surprise. He originally thought that even if Bei Chen Ling had no hostility towards them, he would not take the initiative to kill relatives. However, Bei Chen Ling seemed to be more open-minded than he expected, and hated her father even more. .

"Can the Lord of Ling County have a good plan?"

Sui Ming immediately asked a question. Bei Chenling did not hesitate, and immediately expressed what was in his heart without reservation:

"Since we already know that Beichenhe had an affair with the emperor's concubine, we can use this as a basis to report the matter to the emperor first. I wonder if we can find evidence to prove this? Concubine, who is that?"

Bei Chenling pointed out the key points and asked Sui Ming for advice.

Sui Ming pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"It's the enchantress presented to Emperor Beichen by the countries of the southern border."
