Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 324: Reserve

Jing Shu saw Cai Ling looking at her unkindly, so she raised her hand to pull down the car curtain.

The slender hand was half exposed outside the car, and the profile revealed through the car curtain attracted the attention of a person not far away.

Prince Zhao Bi had just come out of the imperial city and was about to go to his palace in the suburbs. He was walking slowly and leisurely on the street in disguise with a group of personal guards. Jing Shu's looming surprise happened to fall in his eyes.

It was Zhao Bi who had seen countless women, but at this blink of an eye, his numb heart was strongly shocked.

 This must be a woman of great power.

The street was full of people coming and going, and in the blink of an eye, the woman who shocked Zhao Bi's mind disappeared from sight.

 “Who is that woman?” Zhao Bi, who had always been **** after women, asked the attendant with a gloomy face as the beauty was nowhere to be found.

The attendant looked around, bowed and asked, "Which one is your Highness talking about?"

Zhao Bi rolled his eyes at the attendant beside him impatiently: "The one in the car."

 The attendant hurriedly looked for him.

At this moment, the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo was passing by Cai Ling's float in the wrong direction. The carriage of the government had already entered the alley, and only Cai Ling's float was very eye-catching parked on the side of the road.

The attendant understood the idea and hurriedly whispered in the prince's ear: "I will think of a way to get it for your highness."

Zhao Bi nodded slightly and ordered condescendingly: "Be more agile and don't leave any traces. Just take it directly to the palace."

The attendant took the order, Zhao Bi crossed his legs and walked leisurely towards the palace outside the city.

Cai Ling sat in the car and stared at the government's carriage and horses through the curtain. She didn't turn around in a daze until she couldn't see any trace of them anymore.

Cai Ling was living in the capital, but she couldn't find a place to hide herself. In order to survive, she had to go to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion to make a living by selling jokes. With her charming beauty and excellent dancing skills, Cai Ling is now a Qin Lou. The top card in Chu Guan.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Oirans like Cai Ling are always surrounded by little maids serving her. The little maid sitting below her saw her expression was abnormal and asked.

Cai Ling was stunned for a while and said with a sneer: "I'm thinking, why is God so unfair? We are also beautiful women, but some people can have the best things in the world just because they have a better background, but I am not I just want to get a piece of the pie, but I can’t get it.”

To this day, Cai Ling still believes that the reason why Li Ling did not want her was because his wife Shen was obstructing her.

Cai Ling always believed that when Zhang Chao gave her to Li Ling, Li Ling didn't refuse because he wanted her. It was only because Jing Shu was jealous that Li Ling stopped.

Although she has met countless men, she fell in love with someone like Li Ling after seeing him once. Therefore, when she later traveled to Beijing, she was kicked out of her home and had no other choice, so she made inquiries and found her outside the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. After waiting for several days, she finally saw Li Ling and rushed towards him desperately. , but never thought that Li Ling said he didn't recognize her.

With her beauty, Cai Ling didn't believe that Li Ling would forget her so easily. However, his wife happened to be by his side that day, so Cai Ling believed that Li Ling was worried about his wife.

She has always been upset about this because she was too impatient and didn't find the right time. But before she could find a chance to get close to Li Ling again, she was sold to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion by Ren Yazi. Cai Ling resented the way good fortune played a role in people, and even more complained that Jing Shu was obstructing her and could not tolerate others.

She met Jingshu by chance today, and her thoughts were stirred up again. Her mind went back and forth a thousand times, and she couldn't help but recall Li Linglai, who fascinated her.

Cailing was reminiscing here when a dagger with cold light was placed on her neck. The maid next to her reacted and was about to call for help. When the man in black raised his hand, both the master and the servant fainted. Die in the past.

When Jingshu returned to Qingfengyuan, Li Ling had already returned from duty. Seeing Jingshu's dull expression, he asked with concern, "What's the matter? But something bad happened?"

Jingshu took off her shawl and sat down on the chair. Li Ling sat down next to her, poured her a cup of hot tea, and asked: "I heard that you went to the drug store, but got angry because the store was losing money. Already?"

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling and joked: "Is this the magnanimity of my second-grade Madam Gaoming?"

Li Ling saw that his wife's face softened, and a smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and held his wife's hand and asked, "Then why are you so depressed?"

Jingshu told Li Ling what she saw in the medicine shop when she left the house today and what she saw on the street when she saw officers and soldiers arresting young men.

Jing Shu lived deep in the back house, and suddenly saw such misery in the world, which shocked her heart. As a general who fought in the north and south, Li Ling had long been used to seeing more cruel scenes than this. After listening to his wife's words, he sighed: "There are countless miserable beings among all living beings in this world, but those who are surrounded by beautiful things cannot see them."

Natural disasters are responsible for the suffering of all sentient beings, but most of it is caused by man-made causes. If the Lord of the world can take the world as his own responsibility, instead of being narrow-minded and just indulging in the personal love of children, all sentient beings will Why is it so miserable?

There were only two people in the room, Jing Shu, of course, knew what Li Ling was referring to, and he whispered: "Is it possible that the ministers in this court who are enjoying the salary of the court are just playing power and engaging in party disputes? Really, they don't have the heart to care. People, are you able to write a petition with righteousness?"

Li Ling smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that there are no such loyal ministers, but His Majesty is not the master who strives to govern the country. If the good strategies for governing the country put forward by those aspiring cabinet ministers are implemented, they will inevitably touch the interests of the powerful. Because the implementation is not strong enough, in the end it will not work. It’s all gone.”

Although Emperor Ming was not a cruel and mediocre person, he was certainly not an emperor who worked hard to govern. During the more than thirty years he and she had been in power, the rich and powerful countries governed by the emperors who worked hard in the previous generations were now poor and weak.

After hearing Li Ling's words, Jing Shu expressed concern for the country and the people: "Although the Holy Emperor cannot work hard to govern, fortunately he is not a cruel king. I heard that the Prince of the East Palace is an absurd and unrestrained person. If he inherits the throne in the future, what will happen to him?" Won’t the people of the world suffer even more?”

Li Ling nodded and said: "The prince is indeed not a person who can support the world."

Jingshu asked: "In this case, the only one is King Jin. I heard that the Holy Emperor has always been interested in him, and now the power of King Jin's party is not inferior to that of Prince Tang."

Li Ling scratched the tip of his wife's nose with his fingers, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "I didn't expect that you live in the back house and still understand the important affairs of the court."

Jing Shu glared at Li Ling and said, "Although our family is prominent, in the final analysis, this grace is given by the royal family. You also hold an important position in the court. How can I not pay attention to the affairs in the court."

Jingshu is now in her twenties. After being in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, her mind has gradually matured.

Speaking of major events in the court, Li Ling and his wife analyzed it: "Although the King of Jin appears to be a benevolent and filial man, he is cunning and cruel, and he is not a good man."
