Qu Ling had just been forced by Aunt Tao to finish breakfast, and Xiao Yi came back.

Xiao Yi said, "madam, the master just arrived at the frontier today. The two sides have not officially started war."

Qu Ling was stunned. "Are you serious?"

Xiao nodded heavily, "seriously."

Qu Ling stared at Xiao for a moment. Seeing that he didn't seem to lie, she was a little relieved.

"Well, it's said that General Xiao will be fine. He is the God of war we pray for invincibility." aunt Tao said and brought a bowl of warm soup to Quling.

Qu Ling took a sip of soup and said in a stuffy voice, "no one will never win and no one will never fail."

Anyway, she was still worried about Xiao Jingyue.

In the evening, when Prime Minister Jiang came back, Qu Ling couldn't eat any rice. He pestered him and begged, "Grandpa, I want to find Xiao Jingyue."

Prime Minister Jiang clapped his granddaughter's hand and said angrily, "what are you going to do? Tell yourself, can you stand the toss?"

Qu Ling said, "I can. I can take enough medicine. Xiao Yi will accompany me. There will be no danger."

Xiao Yi outside the house: "

When did he promise to accompany her to the frontier?

Prime Minister Jiang glared at Xiao Yi angrily, "did you promise to go with her?"

Xiao Yi said innocently, "I didn't."

Qu Ling: "

Prime Minister Jiang nodded with satisfaction and turned back to teach his granddaughter: "don't fool around all day. Stay in the house obediently. If you dare to step out for half a step, I dare to break your leg!"

Then he ignored his granddaughter, put his hands behind him and walked towards the dining room.

Qu Ling was sad and anxious. She hated her weak body again.

"Sister, grandpa is right. The battlefield is too dangerous. You will lose your life if you go." Jiang Huo also advised.

Qu Ling said in a dull voice, "if I don't go, he will lose his life."

Ah Xin couldn't help saying, "no, my brother-in-law is so powerful. Whether you go or not, my brother-in-law will be fine."

I don't know whether to comfort or to make complaints about it.

Because of Qu Ling's trouble, Jiang Huo, Axin and aunt Tao were ordered by Prime Minister Jiang to guard Qu Ling step by step, so that Qu Ling couldn't fly out of the prime minister's house and had to stop.

Spring passed in the blink of an eye, summer came, and the whole praying Kyoto seemed to be in an oven.

It has been more than a month since Xiao Jingyue left Beijing.

This month, the two countries went to war. There was no good news, but there was no bad news. The two armies were so close.

On this day in mid August, because Xiao Jingyue left Beijing, he calmed down for more than two months, praying for Beijing and regenerating disasters.

Qu Ling has been keeping herself in the prime minister's house for a while. She never leaves home. Xiao Yi inquired about the news and said that the prince intended to kill his father and usurp the throne and ordered people to poison the emperor's meals.

Hearing the news, Qu Ling's first reaction was that the crown prince must have been wronged. She thought that in her impression, the crown prince was not the one who had the courage of that dog at all.

He is too indecisive and kind-hearted. He hasn't done much over the years.

Qu Ling asked, "how is the Prince now?"

Xiao Yi answered truthfully, "the emperor woke up. I heard... He wants to abolish the crown prince."

Qu Ling was silent.

Whether patricide or usurpation is a capital crime, there is no room for discussion.

Two days later, the decree of abolishing the prince came down, and even the prince's mother imperial concubine Li Guifei was implicated.

After hearing this, Qu Ling immediately ran to embarrass Prime Minister Jiang when he came back.

Prime Minister Jiang said angrily, "now the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty can't avoid the waste crown prince. Are you in a hurry to get together and die?"

Qu Ling was very firm this time and said, "I don't care. I just want to go. Grandpa, if you don't let me go, I'll find a way back!"

Prime Minister Jiang was so angry that he rolled his eyes and wanted to put his granddaughter back into his daughter-in-law's stomach!

After a day of cold war, Prime Minister Jiang finally compromised, found a set of bodyguard clothes for his granddaughter and took her into the palace.

Now the crown prince and imperial concubine Li are temporarily detained in the cold palace, but not in the same palace, but separately.

Seeing the prince again, Qu Ling could hardly recognize him.

With his hair scattered and dirty clothes on his body, he looked very haggard.

The prince, who was squatting in the yard in a daze, was stunned when he caught a glimpse of the little bodyguard coming towards him.

Just about to drink away, he suddenly saw the little guard's face and said happily, "you're not dead?"

Qu Ling looked at him with complex eyes and nodded gently, "well, I'm not dead."

Looking at the still bright Qu Ling, the prince suddenly thought of his current appearance, turned his back in embarrassment and said in a dumb voice, "what are you doing?"

Qu Ling said, "let me see you."

The crown prince smiled bitterly, "do you see my poor appearance?"

Qu Ling looked at such a prince and felt something bad for the first time, "I don't believe you will do that."

The prince was silent for a moment, turned back and looked sarcastically at the woman in front of him, "ah Ling, how can you be so naive after so many things?"

Qu Ling frowned and didn't speak.

The prince continued, "people will change. Moreover, the road to the throne has been piled up with bones since ancient times. I am the prince. If I want to sit in this position, I am destined to step on the bones."

Then he looked up at Qu Ling and said expressionless, "I'm not that I won't do it, I just didn't have time to do it."

Qu Ling looked at him puzzled.

But the prince suddenly smiled and said, "don't you believe it? There will be more things you don't want to believe in the future. You can't be such a person, but you must learn to accept such things."

Qu Ling didn't speak for a while. When she spoke again, she asked, "will you die?"

The prince was silent and turned to look elsewhere. After a long time, he whispered, "maybe."

There are no losers on the road to the throne, only the dead.

Before Qu Ling left, the prince said, "ah Ling, don't trust anyone in this palace."

Qu Ling stood down and didn't look back. She nodded gently, indicating that she listened.

There are countless palace walls in the palace, which are painted into a prison, enclosing everyone living in the palace in this deep palace.

Turning over the wall of the cold palace, she and the prince may be separated from heaven and man.

Qu Ling wanted to see the queen, but she had to give up when she thought of her identity as the "dead".

Returning to the prime minister's house, Qu Ling couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, will the prince die?"

Jiang Cheng looked at his granddaughter and replied truthfully, "yes."

Rao was prepared early. Qu Ling inevitably felt sad when she got the accurate answer.

Qu Ling asked in a stuffy voice, "Why are you so sure? What if the prince is wronged?"

Prime Minister Jiang said meaningfully, "we don't count whether we are wronged or not."

Qu Ling was stunned. After reacting, her face changed.

……

Eighth Prince's house.

The crown prince was finally deposed. After thinking for so many years, it finally came true. The eighth prince was not half happy. He walked back and forth in his study restlessly for nearly half an hour.

The counselor stood quietly aside, lowered his head and looked at the impatience of the eighth Prince without saying a word.

After the eighth Prince walked in front of the counselor again, he stopped and breathed heavily, "I always thought my father would..."

He always thought that his father would have a little affection for them, but he was delusional.

The counselor looked up at the eighth prince, sighed and shook his head.

The students in the study were suddenly pushed away, and a black figure appeared at the door.

The man looked at the pale eighth prince with a smile and asked, "now, is the eighth Prince willing to cooperate with me?"
