The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Chapter 15: Dark Waves in the Court

Half of the best part was reserved for Ling Yueqing. The two of them looked at the remaining food with shining eyes, grabbed a piece and put it in their mouths, sighing with satisfaction.

"Brother, this is so delicious! So this is what roasted pig's trotters taste like!" Er Shun muttered incoherently while eating.

He had only picked up the leftovers thrown away by others, which tasted a bit sour and not very delicious. He thought that roasted pig's trotters tasted like that, but now he thought it must have gone bad.

The two of them had a hearty meal and then lay down on the straw mat with happy faces. This was the best meal they had ever had in their lives, so good that they felt they had no regrets in their lives.

In the following days, the food left for Ling Yueqing remained untouched until it was about to go bad. They didn't wait for Ling Yueqing to come back, so the two of them ate it with great care for fear of wasting it.

After that, their lives returned to normal. They still went out to work every day to earn money, and occasionally worked as beggars, eating only steamed buns and pickled vegetables. When they really had no money to buy food, they would take a few coins from the money.

The remaining money must be kept for the boss's business.

This wait lasted for many days.

Early the next morning, Ling Yueqing woke up from her dream.

She covered her aching chest and couldn't recover for a long time.

She had a dream, a dream full of fire.

This was not the first time she had dreamed of this scene. She had been having the same dream frequently since she could remember.

But all I heard before were women’s gentle words and children’s happy laughter.

But this time, what she dreamed of was flames all over the sky and shrill screams.

The only evidence that this is the same scene is the pavilions and towers shrouded in mist as always and the ginkgo tree that is clearly visible in the courtyard.

She felt even more that her time travel was not accidental. She and the original owner had a similar name, a similar appearance, and had the same dream since childhood. It seemed that everything was just waiting for a breakthrough to be released.

The dream became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that the truth was only an opportunity away.

Ling Yueqing slowly got up.

She always believed that what is supposed to happen will always happen, and the people she is supposed to meet will always be met, and that too much entanglement is just unnecessary worry.

The philosophy of life she has always believed in is, "There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. There is no point in worrying in advance."

She looked at the brand new dress prepared specially for her, and thought about how others had addressed her in the past few days.

She couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hands. These days she had been fixing her hair according to her reflection in the water, and the shadows were blurry and unclear.

In addition, her clothes were too loose, so she really thought she had no feminine characteristics, and the two brothers Dashun and Ershun thought she was a man.

It turned out that the two of them were completely stupid. Everyone could see that she was a woman, except the two of them who were so stupid that they couldn't see it!

She thought as she got dressed.

She looks so much like the young lady of the general's mansion, and the people in the general's mansion treat her so well.

Aren't you afraid that her motives are not pure? After all, two people who look so similar are too much of a coincidence.

What Ling Yueqing didn't know was that the general and his wife had already discussed their suspicions.

The result of the discussion was that no matter it was a coincidence or a long-planned plan, they all believed that she would not harm them.

They are a family of military generals and do not have so many twists and turns. They trust their intuition and a sense of intimacy between them that exists from the first time they meet.

Ling Yueqing got dressed, looked in the bronze mirror, fixed her hair, then opened the door and walked out.

Of course, she would not forget to give some sincere compliments on her own beauty.

As soon as she went out, she keenly noticed that the general's mansion was in an eerie silence.

The servants who came and went walked in a hurry without saying a word.

"What happened?" she asked a boy who was on duty near her house.

"What a pity! Alas!" The servant stared at Ling Yueqing for a long time, then he sighed deeply and said nothing more.

"..."

It's really annoying that people stop talking halfway and become so unclear that people can't understand what they are saying.

Ling Yueqing saw several maids walking in one direction with cakes and tea in their hands, so she followed them.

The servant behind him watched Ling Yueqing slowly walk out of his sight and murmured, "What a pity! It would be so nice if she was a young lady."

Ling Yueqing followed the crowd to the reception room.

In addition to the general and his wife, there was also a gorgeously dressed man in his forties, who was waving a fan in a pretentious manner.

Ling Yueqing could tell at a glance that this person was not a scholar, but a martial artist.

The rough lines on his face, the muscles all over his body, coupled with the gorgeous clothes and the elegant fan, create an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the sense of incongruity became even stronger. He kept cursing every few sentences. I wonder if this is a general who has retired from the army!

"General, you are not disgusted with the War King because he is seriously ill, right?"

The man's rough face was full of suspicion and anxiety. "Although the idea of ​​getting married for a good night is not very reliable, the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death for the whole family!"

His love for the general was that of a brother and also a life-saving favor.

When his mother was seriously ill, it was the general who extended a helping hand and fulfilled his mother's last wish. He will always be grateful to the general for his kindness.

So after the court was dismissed, he hurried over.

"Old Li, I really didn't lie to you. Xin'er is really missing." Yuwen Che looked helplessly at his former brother, Li Wei, who had risked his life for him.

Back then on the battlefield, he was the main general and Li Wei was the deputy general. Li Wei often blocked attacks for him and they had a very close relationship.

Later, Li Wei's mother became seriously ill and there was no one to take care of her at home, so Li Wei retired from the army and returned to the countryside.

Yuwen Che asked the emperor for merit for him and appointed him to a minor official position.

Over the years, with the help of the General's Mansion, Li Wei married, had children, and opened an escort agency. His life became more and more prosperous.

Yuwen Che was also sincerely happy for him.

"But that old man Wang Guozhong said that he saw the young lady in front of the general's mansion a few days ago."

"Although that old man has evil intentions, he would not lie to the emperor."

Yuwen Che looked innocent, "He made a mistake. I rescued a girl at the edge of the city that day. She looked a bit like me, but she was not me."

"That's hard to say. Let's take the girl to see the emperor and explain it to them. They are now suspecting that the general didn't want his daughter to marry the War King and deliberately made up an excuse."

Yuwen Che felt helpless. This girl looked too much like Xin'er. Even if he took her to confront those ministers face to face, they would not believe it.

"Is it that the girl doesn't want to go? I'll go and beg her." Li Wei looked at the general in silence and became even more anxious.

"I'm willing to go!" Ling Yueqing finally understood. This was the day the general brought her into the mansion and was seen by someone.

Now everyone is suspecting that the general's claim about the young lady's disappearance is an excuse he made up because he doesn't want to marry the King of War.
