But Ling Yun came to Jinling Palace, found the housekeeper Zhao Renyi, and told him that he and the princess escaped death, but now they are alive and well.
Seeing the confusion and surprise on Zhao Renyi's face, he told him not to worry and allowed him to slowly tell him the cause and effect of the matter.
With that said, Ling Yun slowly walked to the flickering candlelight and turned on the candlelight little by little. The room seemed to be much brighter and brighter in an instant. And Zhao Renyi's originally dark and throbbing heart slowly calmed down with the warm candlelight.
Under the glow of the candlelight, Ling Yun spoke calmly and methodically recounted the ups and downs that had happened to him and Princess Huanyu:
How he fought to the death with the Tianxiao organization, how he fell into the hands of the practicing pavilion, how he was coerced into working for him by the practicing pavilion, how he and Princess Huanyu escaped from Feiyun Villa on the day of their engagement, etc. were briefly discussed in detail - -Only the fact that he and Lian Nanchun jointly assassinated He Chenglin were omitted.
Because this matter involves too many things, it is difficult to explain clearly at the moment; not to mention that notices are being posted everywhere inside and outside the capital to hunt down the assassin who assassinated the eldest son of the Marquis. Of course, he can't just be stupid and throw himself into the trap.
Ling Yun's words are extremely penetrating, his tone is ups and downs, and his ability to render is extremely strong; and when he narrates what happened, he has distinct layers and is clear and thorough. Zhao Renyi was unknowingly brought into the situation by him, and he could hear it for a moment. Become enchanted and unable to extricate yourself.
After Ling Yun finished speaking, his burning eyes swept across Zhao Renyi's face and said, "Does Butler Zhao understand everything?"
Zhao Renyi nodded vigorously.
Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, raised his hand and opened Zhao Renyi's acupuncture points.
Zhao Renyi immediately let out a sigh of relief. He stretched his stiff body and moved his numb hands and feet.
Ling Yun's face was full of apologies. He leaned down, bowed to Zhao Renyi and said, "Butler Zhao, Ling Yun has offended a lot just now. It's really out of necessity. Please don't take it to heart. Ling Yun is here." I apologize to you!"
Zhao Renyi hurriedly supported him with both hands and said: "Commander Ling, please stop doing this! This old slave also knows that the current situation is complicated, and you and the princess are in this situation now, and this matter must not be made public to avoid causing more trouble. . Commander Ling’s good intentions are deeply felt by this old slave. Commander Ling, please don’t blame yourself too much.” With that said, he stretched out his hands to pull Ling Yun up from the ground.
Ling Yun stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhao Renyi and said, "Ling Yun would like to thank Butler Zhao for his understanding of justice and understanding of my heart. Ling Yun would like to thank you!"
Zhao Renyi said: "Commander Ling is too polite! But I don't know where the princess is now?"
Ling Yun said: "The princess is currently in an inn in a small town outside the city. That place is very safe. Just don't worry about the housekeeper. Ling Yun also has an unkind request. I dare to ask the housekeeper to agree."
Zhao Renyi said: "Commander Ling, please tell me."
Ling Yun said: "Ling Yun, please ask the housekeeper to take me to see the prince!"
Zhao Renyi said "Oh" and looked at him with some confusion.
Ling Yun said: "Ling Yun wants to apologize to the prince first, and then ask the prince to take the princess back; and then Ling Yun also wants to ask the prince to introduce Ling Yun to see the Holy Emperor and explain the whole story of what happened that day, so as to wash away Mr. Lu's grievances and restore Mr. Lu's innocence. , I can also give justice to Ling Yun. But I don’t know what the housekeeper wants?”
Zhao Renyi nodded approvingly and said: "What Commander Ling said makes sense. Please wait for Ling Tong in the old slave's house first. The old slave will go to see the prince immediately and report the matter between the princess and Commander Ling to the prince!"
Ling Yun leaned down and bowed again: "Everything is done, housekeeper!"
But it was said that the prince of Jinling had already fallen asleep. Suddenly he heard his close family member Zhao Yang calling him in a low voice at the door of the room: "My lord, are you asleep? I have a very important thing to report to you."
Ever since the news of his daughter's death came a few days ago, Prince Jinling has been filled with sorrow and depression. He has been unable to sleep at night and often suffers from insomnia.
Tonight, he lay on the bed exhausted both physically and mentally. He finally took a nap, but was suddenly woken up by Zhao Yang. He couldn't help but feel very irritable and said angrily: "What the hell is going on? I won't talk about it tomorrow!"
Zhao Yang said firmly: "This matter is very important and cannot be delayed for a moment. That's why I dare to disturb the prince at this time. I also ask the prince to move on..."
Prince Jinling couldn't help but feel shocked. He knew that Zhao Yang had always been prudent and steady, and was by no means the kind of person who acted rashly and rashly. Now that he saw Zhao Yang so persistently asking him to come out immediately, he thought that something big must be going on, so he asked: "What kind of important thing is it?" ?”
Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "It's about the princess..."
Prince Jinling felt his heart suddenly tremble, and turned around to look at Princess Wei of Jinling who was lying next to her. When Princess Jinling heard the word "princess", her expression suddenly changed, and her heart began to beat wildly unconsciously.
The couple hurriedly got dressed and came to the hall outside. Zhao Yang was seen walking up and down the hall with a nervous expression, looking very uneasy.
Prince Jinling stared at Zhao Yang and asked hurriedly: "What is going on? Tell me quickly!"
Zhao Yang said: "The butler is waiting outside. I thought it would be better to ask the butler to report this matter to the prince and princess in detail."
Prince Jinling had already been annoyed by him. Hearing this, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let him come in quickly!"
Zhao Yang snorted, turned around and went out. After a moment, he came in anxiously with the housekeeper Zhao Renyi.
Zhao Renyi first bowed to Prince Jinling. Prince Jinling raised his hand to stop him and said, "No need! Butler, what important thing are you just talking about?"
Zhao Renyi raised his head, tears welling up in his somewhat cloudy eyes. His lips trembled and he almost choked with sobs as he said: "My lord, this old slave is here to tell the lord and princess the great news! ... …”
Prince Jinling felt his heart heat up, and his voice trembled a little as he spoke: "Tell me quickly, what is the... good news?"
Zhao Renyi sobbed and replied: "Your Majesty, the princess is still fine now, she is not dead at all!..."
Prince Jinling felt his head buzz and almost fell down; thanks to Zhao Yang who was standing beside him, he rushed forward and gave him a hand.
Princess Jinling could hardly believe her ears. She stood up from her chair and said in a trembling voice: "Say it again!..."
Zhao Renyi cried with joy and said: "Prince, princess, princess, she is still alive and well!"
Prince Jinling also regained his composure at this time. He stood up unsteadily and took a few shaky steps forward. Probably because he was too excited, his feet staggered a little.
When Zhao Renyi saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "My lord, don't get too excited, be careful!..."
Prince Jinling grabbed Zhao Renyi's hand and shook it, "Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Zhao Renyi supported the prince's swaying body and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, please calm down first, and let me slowly report to you what happened!"
Only then did Prince Jinling realize that he had just been so excited that he had lost his composure. He stabilized his mind and sat back on the chair with Zhao Renyi's help. He coughed and said, "Okay, tell me quickly!"
Zhao Renyi stood up straight, straightened his clothes, calmed his mind, and recounted the events that Ling Yun and Princess Huanyu had encountered these days - of course, according to Ling Yun's words, he stated them in detail.
The Prince Jinling and Princess Jinling who just listened were sad and happy, sighing and sighing.
Princess Wei of Jinling cried and murmured, as if to others, more like to herself, "I knew that our daughter would be blessed with great fortune and good luck." With the help of heaven, everything will be fine..."
Prince Jinling was even more excited and burst into tears, murmuring to himself: "My Huanyu is fine. It's so great! It's great!..."
Zhao Renyi and Zhao Yang saw that the Jinling prince and his wife just hugged each other and cried in a long-winded manner. They cried and laughed without saying anything. The time dragged on for too long, so they waited a little anxiously.
Zhao Renyi and Zhao Yang looked at each other, and he coughed slightly, which meant to remind the prince and princess that they should calm down their excited and overwhelmed emotions. Because he still has something to report.
Of course Prince Jinling is an understanding person. After he fully released his excited emotions at this time, he felt much more comfortable. He breathed a sigh of relief, came to his senses, turned his piercing eyes to Zhao Renyi and said, "Butler, do you have anything else to report?"
Zhao Renyi hesitated for a moment, considered the words, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, where is Ling Yun still in our house? Does Your Majesty want to... meet him?"
Lingyun? ...Then Prince Jinling remembered that he had just been so happy that he had forgotten the male protagonist in the case of the princess being kidnapped.
At the mention of Ling Yun, Prince Jinling's face could not help but darken, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. I thought to myself: Although Ling Yun was considered innocent in this matter, if he hadn't behaved inappropriately, spoken and acted carelessly, and handled things inappropriately, he wouldn't have caused such a big trouble and disaster!
Seeing the angry look on Prince Jinling's face, Zhao Renyi was so frightened that his heart pounded and he lowered his head in silence, not daring to express his anger.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
After a long time, when there was still no movement, Zhao Renyi suddenly took the courage and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how can I say that Ling Yun risked his own life and escorted the princess back to the capital all the way? Although Your Majesty is still angry with Ling Yun, But for the sake of the princess, the old slave thinks that the prince should also meet him! Besides, he also said that he has many important things to report to the prince face to face!..."
After hearing the words of the housekeeper Zhao Renyi, Prince Jinling's face softened a little and asked: "Where is Ling Yun now?"
Zhao Renyi said: "He is waiting for the prince to summon him at the old slave's place!"
Prince Jinling pondered for a moment and said, "Bring him to see me immediately!"
