Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 376 Comfort

Li Ling handed over the military talisman angrily and came out of the imperial city, then went straight back to his hometown.

As soon as he stepped through the gate of Qingfeng Garden, Brother Xuan threw himself into his arms. Li Ling hugged his son and asked, "Where is your mother?"

Brother Xuan raised his wet little face and replied with a cry: "Dad, the queen just issued an order, and she cried when she came back after receiving the order."

The little guy sniffed and said, "I heard from the wet nurse that the queen didn't want my mother to be at home. Dad, is that true?"

Brother Xuan has always been sensible and progressive. It was the first time that Li Ling saw his son looking so helpless. He hugged his son heartbrokenly and replied: "No matter what happens, as long as dad is here, he will protect your mother and your brothers and sisters. "

Li Ling carried his son into the house. The house was no longer as lively as before, and it was so quiet that it made people feel nervous.

Li Ling took three steps and two steps to push the door open and entered the inner room.

Jing Shu was sitting on the bed holding her daughter who had fallen asleep. Her eyes were wet, and her beautiful almond eyes were red and swollen from crying. Seeing Li Ling come in, she raised her head and looked at him. As usual, she said: "You're back."

Li Ling put down his son and quickly stepped forward to hug his wife into his arms. Jingshu lay in Li Ling's solid arms and cried muffledly.

Li Ling stroked his wife's back and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have handed over the military talisman. I just won't be a general. From now on, we will still be together as before."

After Jingshu heard this, she raised her head from Li Ling's arms and said with a choked voice: "How can this happen? Since ancient times, if the emperor wanted his subjects to die, they had to die. If you disobey the emperor's order for me, wouldn't you be following in the footsteps of the heirs of the Zhou family? how do I"

Before Jing Shu could finish speaking, Li Ling kissed her lips tightly and said in a low voice: "If I can't keep my own woman, what's the point of being a general? Don't worry, no matter how confused the Holy One is, They won't kill me. These people are after my military power. Now that I have handed over the military talisman, it is no longer worthy of their deliberate care, and they will never come to harm you again."

Jingshu threw herself into Li Ling's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried: "You have made such a big sacrifice for me, how can I feel so good about it?"

Li Ling raised his wife's head, smiled and teased her: "Don't you have been clamoring that you still want a child? If you really want to repay your husband's affection, then how about troublesome Madam to give birth to a child for me? A boy or a girl? Du Cheng, I’m not a picky person.”

Jingshu burst into tears and laughed, scolding Li Ling and said: "It's so difficult at this point that you can still make jokes."

Li Ling hated to see his wife sad the most. Now that he finally saw that his wife was relieved, he leaned into her ear and whispered: "I have plenty of time to spend with you after I am discharged and return to the field. If you want to have a child, I will be here at your call. It's just you." Don’t complain and complain about being tired all the time in bed.”

Although Sister Bao was asleep, Brother Xuan was still there. Li Ling's inappropriate words were just whispered in his wife's ear. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Sister Bao beside her opened her eyes. He looked straight at Li Ling and asked, "What are daddy talking about?"

Li Ling was frightened by her daughter and quickly replied: "Dad is discussing things with mother. If you don't care about Sister Bao's business, please don't ask any more questions."

After hearing this, Sister Bao jumped up and said with a little face: "I heard daddy talking about what kind of child to have?"

Li Ling quibbled: "Where did I say this? You heard it wrong."

Sister Bao snorted and said with a cold face: "No wonder the wet nurse said that my mother can no longer be in the house. It turns out that you want to go out to give birth and don't want me and my brother."

Li Ling was confused when he heard this. He quickly picked up his daughter and coaxed her: "How could Daddy not want Sister Bao? Sister Bao, don't talk nonsense." Sister Bao hugged Li Ling's neck and complained to Li Ling seriously: " Dad, someone came to the palace half an hour ago, and I talked a lot with my mother. She cried when she came back, and the nurse said she was the queen and she bullied my mother and refused to let her stay at home."

How could Li Ling’s wife and children have ever been so wronged!

After hearing what his daughter said, Li Ling hated Empress Cao even more, and his face darkened unconsciously.

He lowered his head and kissed his daughter, comforting her and saying, "Sister Bao, don't be afraid. Dad is here and he won't let others bully your mother."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Ziyun hurriedly came in and replied: "Master, madam, someone came from the palace again. They said that the queen has an edict and asked her to go out to receive the edict."

No matter how determined Jingshu is, she is just a woman living in a deep house. She can't compare with the toughness that those women in the palace have experienced all day long. When she heard that Empress Cao had come again, her heart couldn't bear it. Just tremble.

 Empress Cao had just demoted her to a concubine in the first half of the day. Could it be that she would still be reluctant to abandon her in the second half of the day?

 Then she was completely separated from Li Ling and the children.

Jingshu wanted to cry.

Li Ling heard that it was Empress Cao's decree, but he guessed that it was Emperor Ming who ordered Empress Cao to change her mind.

In normal times, Emperor Ming would be confused about some things, but now that he is facing a powerful enemy, Li Ling does not believe that Emperor Ming would not be able to understand his priorities clearly.

Li Ling patted his wife's back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Empress Cao will definitely take back her life this time. Come on, I'll accompany you there."

Li Ling put on his wife's coat and led her out of Qingfeng Garden with his big hand, and went to the front yard to receive the order.

The **** who announced the decree in the palace in the morning was a square-faced eunuch. This time he was replaced by a round-faced eunuch, who looked quite amiable.

When the **** who announced the decree saw Jing Shu, he smiled so hard that his little eyes narrowed into slits. With a smile on his face, he greeted her and said: "Mrs. Li, this servant is here to announce the decree on the order of the empress. For the past half hour, I have been responsible for the queen's work." The empress who drafted the decree made a mistake and drafted the wrong decree. Oops! I'm so sorry for you. When the empress found out, she was furious. She immediately asked someone to draft a new decree and treat you as the first-grade imperial concubine. "

“The Queen has given orders to my servants. You are of high status and have been wronged this morning, so I don’t need you to kneel down to receive the order.”

With that said, the **** waved his hand to the little **** behind him. The little **** stepped forward and handed all the Zhai clothes and ribbons of Yi Zhi and Mrs. Yipin Gaoming to the little girls behind Jing Shu.

The round-faced **** looked at Jingshu with a smile and said in a flattering manner: "Mrs. Li, you are now the youngest first-grade imperial concubine in the capital. Congratulations."

Jingshu blinked, unable to recall what she was doing, and turned to look at Li Ling.

 Li Lingxin grabbed the imperial decree, shook it in front of the eunuch's eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Is this the right time?"

The round-faced **** replied with a sigh: "Your Majesty, General Li, you are absolutely right this time."
