Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 449: Confession to Li Ling

After returning to the palace from Shen Mansion, Li Ling first sent Jingshu back to Jiaofang Hall, and then hurried to Qinzheng Hall to review the memorial.

Li Ling was busy at his desk when his chamberlain Ling Xiao came in and replied: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess wishes to see you."

After Qingluan brutally killed Qingyuan, Li Ling ordered the princess palace to be built for her outside the palace. It would take at least one or two years to rebuild it. After Li Ling witnessed Qingluan's cruelty, for the safety of his wife and children, Li Ling He couldn't wait that long, so he ordered the mansion left by a deceased princess of the previous dynasty to be renovated and repaired, so that Qingluan could move out of the palace in less than a month or two.

Li Ling has never been patient with others except his wife and children. Qingluan repeatedly touched Li Ling's bottom line, and Li Ling was already impatient with her.

 Seeing that the renovation of the princess mansion is about to be completed, Qingluan has been asking to see Li Ling in every possible way, but Li Ling has never asked to see her.

Hearing that Qingluan came to see him again, Li Ling replied calmly without even raising his eyelids: "I'm busy, so I won't see you."

Ling Xiao hesitated and replied: "Your Majesty, I have told the Ninth Princess that you are busy, but the Ninth Princess just refuses to leave. She said that if you don't see her today, she will wait outside the palace."

Li Ling replied: "Then let her wait."

Having said that, Li Ling said nothing more and continued to be busy.

By the time Li Ling finished his work and left the Qinzheng Hall, it was already midnight, and Qingluan was still waiting outside the hall.

When Li Ling saw Qingluan, he was as big as the other. He asked with a cold face: "Why do you come to me again and again?"

It is late autumn now, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Qingluan's face has turned pale from the cold. When she saw Li Ling, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "Cousin, why are you so cruel to me now? I have been so cruel to you all these years." I am alone in the palace and have been bullied. Now that you have become the emperor, why can't you protect me?"

Li Ling replied: "You have committed a serious crime by mutilating your siblings. For the sake of my grandmother and the palace, I am showing great kindness to you by not pursuing you. From now on, you can live peacefully in the princess's mansion, waiting for you." Grandma will choose a son-in-law for you, and I promise to ensure that you always enjoy the treatment of a princess."

When Qingluan heard this, she cried even more sadly: "Cousin, the palace is so big, can't it accommodate me? I don't want to move out."

Li Ling said coldly: "Grandma is already choosing a son-in-law for you. You will leave the palace sooner or later. What difference does it make if you move out one day sooner or later?"

With that said, Li Ling raised his legs to leave. Qingluan quickly stopped in front of Li Ling, looked at him and said: "Cousin, you know that the person I have been thinking about all these years has been you, why are you so heartless, I don't believe it. You don't like me at all. Was it Mr. Shen who instigated you to not let you get close to me?"

 “Shut up!”

Before Qingluan could finish her words, Li Ling interrupted her angrily.

Li Ling's face was surprisingly ugly. He said to Qingluan with unconcealed anger: "We are brothers and sisters. Can you please be more clear-headed?"

Qingluan hurriedly took a few steps forward and explained: "Cousin, we are not brothers and sisters. I am the flesh and blood of my mother-in-law and Zhou Yi."

Li Ling's face turned pale with anger at her shameless words. He raised his hand fiercely towards Qingluan. Li Ling's hand stopped in mid-air. He was panting heavily and forced himself to endure it for a while before finally finally Keep your temper under control.

"Don't let me see you again in the future!" Li Ling angrily threw this sentence at Qingluan, and then walked away in anger.

Li Ling returned to Jiaofang Hall. Jingshu had already fallen asleep, but there was still a candle left for him in the inner hall.

As soon as Li Ling took off his crane cloak, he heard his wife's gentle voice coming from the bed: "Are you done?"

Li Ling strode to the bed and asked Jingshu, "Are you asleep yet?" Jingshu replied, "I just fell asleep for a while and woke up when I heard your footsteps."

Li Ling stretched out his hand to tuck his wife's quilt and said, "I woke you up."

Jingshu simply sat up, looked at Li Ling and said, "Did you encounter anything unhappy today?"

Just now, Li Ling was indeed very angry with Qingluan. After listening to Jingshu's words, he asked, "How do you know?"

Jingshu replied: "I heard your footsteps a little hasty, so I guessed that you were in a bad mood. What's wrong? Did you really encounter something bad?"

Having been husband and wife for many years, the two have already formed a tacit understanding.

Li Ling took off his coat, lifted the quilt and got into bed. He stretched out his arms and put his wife into his arms. His wife's unique fragrance lingered around him. Li Ling's originally angry and irritable heart suddenly calmed down. He replied softly to his wife : "There is nothing unhappy, it's just that I see Qingluan is getting more and more crazy these days, so I have ordered her to move out of the palace tomorrow."

Li Ling has always protected his wife very well. He does not allow anyone or anything around his wife that could threaten her.

Jing Shu guessed that Qingluan must have done something to annoy Li Ling again, she replied: "But the princess mansion you gave to Qingluan hasn't been repaired yet. I heard from the manager that it will take at least ten days and a half to repair it." Completely built.”

Li Ling replied: "It doesn't matter. The left and right main halls can be occupied by people, and it won't affect her daily life. The gardens and other things can be built slowly."

Seeing that Li Ling had made up his mind, Jing Shu stopped talking and the couple hugged each other and fell asleep, having a good night's sleep.

When Jingshu woke up the next day, Li Ling had already taken Brother Xuan to practice martial arts. Ziyun came in to help Jingshu get up and take a bath.

After Jingshu had just finished packing, Danzhu came in from the outside and said: "Mother, early in the morning, the people in the inner palace arranged for the ninth princess to move to the princess's palace. Just now, the princess came to Jiaofang Palace and insisted on crying to see you. Your Majesty, Ling Xiao did not allow you to come back and forth, so he only took the people to push the Ninth Princess into the car and left the palace."

Li Ling has always had a resolute and resolute temper.

Jing Shu didn’t need to think about it to know that the palace people must have acted like this because of Li Ling’s orders.

Jingshu only replied lightly: "I understand."

While Ziyun was busy on the side, he sighed and said: "It would be better if the ninth princess moved out of the palace as soon as possible. Although I see that she looks good, sometimes she seems to be mentally ill, and her stubbornness is even more terrifying. Your Majesty is pregnant now, and keeping such a person in the palace is really unsettling."

Just as he was talking, the sound of chanting came from outside, "Your Majesty is here."

Jingshu hurriedly told several girls: "Don't talk about Qingluan in front of His Majesty."

The endless government affairs are enough for Li Ling to worry about. Jingshu is unwilling to bother him with these trivial matters anymore. Qingluan is already hopelessly stubborn, so it would not be a bad thing to let her move out of the palace.

Ziyun Danzhu nodded and said "yes"

Jingshu straightened her clothes and greeted her husband and son with a smile.
