"Does Beauty Zhou like detective stories?" Ling Qing asked as he casually walked around the room.
"What detective story?" Zhou Fangyi did not understand.
"Like the murder in the secret chamber." Ling Qing still remembered the death of Beauty Huang and Beauty Liang.
"Chenqie doesn't understand." Zhou Fangyi was stunned for a moment. The little queen's thoughts were too fast for her to keep up.
"Although... I don't have much power right now, but... "Since you're back now, I hope that the harem will settle down and not cause any more deaths." Ling Tian sighed as he spoke.
At that time, she had already found a few clues in the secret chamber — She had died in her pajamas, the marks on her neck were not right, and there was a strange fragrance in the air …
It was only because Ling Xuanxin had suddenly summoned her out of the palace that he did not continue the investigation.
However, he was sure that the two beauties, Huang and Liang, did not commit suicide.
"Ever since the two sisters committed suicide, the king has ordered … At that time, you were already traveling south with the king, so you probably didn't know … " Zhou Fangyi understood immediately and said softly, "The harem is very stable."
Ling Qing did not wish for any more mishaps to happen to the harem to trouble her, and Zhou Fangyi did not dare to do anything rash again.
Originally, Sui Tian Xiang was going to be the third to commit suicide.
However, due to the suicide of the two beauties, after Ling Jin brought the Empress out of the palace, he had once given an imperial edict to all beauties to be expelled from the palace if there were any more such incidents in the harem.
This was also the reason why Zhou Fangyi did not take action.
Ling Xuejian was a person who liked to deal with women in a simple and crude manner. He also knew that the deaths of the two beauties were strange, but he was too lazy to care too much about it.
This caused all the beauties to not dare to act rashly.
"That's good. I hate what's right and what's wrong." Ling Tian Qing suddenly laughed, "But you might like it."
"What are you talking about, concubine? I don't like it either." Seeing her bright smile, Zhou Fangyi could not help but lightly laugh and say.
Ling Tian Qing then opened the window and looked out at the falling flowers. If she could not leave the harem, then she would flatten this land!
Standing in the temple and watching the constant pitter patter of rain outside, Ling Jingran experienced another flood in the south. The red sheep tribulation lasted for a year, but it had not passed yet.
The Fourth Marquis was in dire need of a substitute, but Su Qi Huan still hadn't endured enough. If he became a marquis so quickly, she would invite criticism on him.
After thinking about it, he could only find an official who had just accomplished a great deed and temporarily replace him as the marquis.
"Has the king decided on a candidate yet?" When Master Qing Xu saw that Ling Zui had been silently gazing in the direction of the Azure Heaven Palace, he stroked his beard and asked.
According to the Daoist Feng Shui, the 4th Marquis of the Royal City was a spirit stone that was suppressing the east, south, west and corner of the capital.
If he was missing one, it would break the balance and be disadvantageous to the country.
Since ancient times, the heavens had taken a liking to Feng Shui and Long Mai, firmly believing in the dao of Buddhism.
It was not only because there were many strange things that could not be explained with words, causing generations of people to believe in the teachings of Buddhism. However, to the rulers, this was also a method used by fools, making it more convenient to manage the rivers and mountains.
"Yes." Ling Lingzhi said indifferently, still looking in the direction of the Heavenly Green Palace. That huge Sky Clear Tree, its branches crisscrossed all over, almost covering the entire Heavenly Green Palace. Only a small piece of bright yellow glazed roof tiles could be seen.
"Three days later is the auspicious day of the official dukedom." Qing Xu nodded and said.
"The spirit spring seems to have gradually stopped accepting phoenixes. What exactly is it?" Ling Xuejian suddenly changed the topic of the conversation and asked.
"Your Majesty, look. The Azure Sky Palace still has the power to oppress the harem. It's just that …" "Feng is not here in his body and mind …" Master Qing Xu knew that he shouldn't have said this, but he still said it.
Ling Lingcun's face sank.
However, he did not get angry. Instead, he asked, "Is it okay to just leave your heart?"
"Your Majesty, the phoenix body cannot be forced to stay. I still need Your Majesty to treat it with utmost care." Monk Qing Xu paused for a moment and then added, "All the consequences have their own reasons. If the king can restore everything to its original state, the phoenix body will fly away even if he were to be chased away."
"How did Taoist priest learn from those monks, and even talk about cause and effect?" A trace of a mocking smile appeared on Ling Jin's lips.
He didn't want to take out his heart and let her stab him again.
He had never suffered such an injury in his life.
He wanted to retract the pain of being abandoned.
"Your Majesty, please don't forget why Wen Han failed." Monk Qing Xu did not explain and reminded him.
"Dao leader means to start over?" Ling Xuanxin had long understood the meaning behind Master Qing Xu's words, but he did not want to do it.
Ling Tian Qing had betrayed him, and he had not even started to clear up the debt. How could he admit defeat?
"Phoenix Body, you have to live up to your name, otherwise you won't be able to help the heavens." Monk Qing Xu did not give a direct answer and continued.
"Truly deserved … Ah, what did she know? Other than her reckless actions, what else can she do? " Ling Lingzhi knew that Lord Qing Xu was implying that Ling Tian should hold the power of the harem, but if he were to give her power now, wouldn't she have caused a ruckus?
Besides, the empress dowager definitely wouldn't let her act too arrogantly. What if another incident from the Peace Palace happened?
"Your Majesty, we can do anything we want. You might as well give it a try." Qing Xu sighed, "The old grudge is too deep. Now, I have to tie it to someone else. This humble subject will not say much. The king knows what to do."
"This King will make her kneel and beg …" Ling Xuanxin suddenly said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't. "With such grievances, it will only ruin the destiny of the Heavenly Court. Everyone will be able to talk and enjoy all sorts of things. If the king's family matters were to be at odds, how could he flourish under the heavens?" Monk Qing Xu hurriedly said.
"Then, let's just forget about the matter between her and Wen Han?" How could he be willing to let her off so easily?
"Your Majesty, I am sure you know what is important in the relationship between a country and a girl." Guru Qing Xu faintly said, "When Feng Shen is willing to give up his love, then the rivers and mountains will also become impregnable. They will unify for 10,000 years."
Ling Lingzhi fell silent again after hearing what Master Qing Xu said.
He had thought of a million ways to destroy her, but he didn't want to use this one.
"Has the king ever thought about why you would always place importance on the rivers and mountains and lose control over yourself over and over again when you see the phoenix? Even now, you would rather have the mountains become unstable than make peace with the phoenix body?" Monk Qing Xu's bright and wise eyes swept across the young emperor's face.
"Because the king's heart was attracted by the phoenix body. The king's eyes were led by the phoenix body. The king's heart and eyes could only see the betrayal of the phoenix body, but he had forgotten about the people." Without waiting for an answer, Qing Xu continued, "That is why you are so vexed, unable to put down your body and forgive the Empress for her impulsiveness. "After the Phoenix Body, the rivers and mountains that set the heavens up …"
"Nonsense!" "This king has never placed a woman in a more important position than Jiang Shan. For the past twenty years, this king has received the teachings of the previous emperor, and all he wanted to do was to let the strong people of Jiang Shan live peacefully, to continue the Ling Family's countless lives!"
"Then why is the king obsessed with the betrayal of the phoenix body? would rather live in the midst of fire and water than make peace with the Empress? " Qing Xu asked with a smile.
"That's because... Because she did not have the heart to make up! " Ling Lingzhi started to become agitated for no reason. He waved his sleeves and said coldly.
"Why is the Empress unwilling to reconcile?" Qing Xu asked again.
"She simply … I don't like This King at all... The person she is yearning for is … warm and cold! " In front of his teacher, Ling Xun finally said the words inside his heart that made him feel embarrassed for the rest of his life.
That woman didn't love him, but she liked warm and cold people!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiang felt hatred.
"The king is the sovereign of the world, a thousand people worship him and ten thousand people pay their respects to him. Why can't a little girl like him?" Qing Xu asked again.
Yes, he was "sir."
The old man who had watched these children grow up, the man who had taught them one of their moral skills.
"How does This King know!" When Ling Zhi thought about Ling Qing, he got angry, and his mind was in a mess as he said this hatefully.
"That's why there's a reason. That's why there's a reason." Monk Qing Xu stroked his horsetail whisk and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if there are many good causes, then we will naturally bear some good fruit."
Ling Jingjing pursed her lips, looking at the Heaven's Clear Tree in the drizzle. Her eyes flashed with a deep and fragmented light, and she no longer spoke.
"The Queen is a person with good roots, the phoenix body bestowed by the heavens. She was actually able to travel from time to time, and come here for a thousand years of marriage. It can be seen that this fate has long been predestined. "
The words that came out of his mouth were like words of prophecy.
Ling Xi lightly tapped on the white jade railing with his slender fingers. In his eyes, there was a sullen expression that he did not want to suppress.
Let him please Ling Tian Qing, and take her love? Ridiculous!
Ever since Ling Tianqing had run away with Wen Han, Ling Xinying had never imagined that the girl would treat him with sincerity.
Right now, he didn't believe in any sort of marriage relationship, and he didn't need these things.
As long as the mountains and rivers were stable, how could there not be women?
It was just an accessory, why would he go against his own mountains and rivers just because of a woman?
Ling Jingjing rubbed his temples. He was confused by the profoundness of the Daoist Master Qing Xu's words. He was actually finding an excuse in his mind to excuse Ling Tian Qing.
How could he forgive someone who betrayed him?
Unless it was the pain of being betrayed, or the pain of having her love doubled for him, he would never consider forgiving …
Strangely, the rain stopped when Ling Jin came to the Azure Heaven Palace.
He had only been here before, and did not even say a word. He coldly glanced at Ling Qing before leaving.
Ling Tian Qing did not expect his luck to be so good. He had fainted for over ten days, causing Tyrant's anger to disappear. Tyrant actually did not punish her even now.
Under the Heaven's Clear Tree, there were people who brought out carts of falling flowers every day. The entire palace was filled with the fragrance of the Heaven's Clear Flower, appearing exceptionally tranquil.
For the past few days, Ling Tian Qing had been "closing his eyes and thinking." More accurately, he had been forced to face the wall.
Occasionally Zhou Fangyi would come to visit her, but most of the time she would be by herself.
