"Sir, I wonder who the owner of this rose garden is. The roses in this rose garden are so delicate.”Xiao Ling came up and stopped the female official who was going to take Liu Yun to the Imperial Concubine Palace, secretly stuffing a silver ingot into her hand. The female official weighed the weight of the silver ingot in her hand and smiled in satisfaction. She then looked at Tuoba Feng who was behind Xiao Ling.
Even if she didn't give face to this silver ingot, she still had to consider Tuoba Feng's face. She held Xiao Ling's hand and looked especially friendly. "Miss is really lucky to be able to get the love of Tuoba's daughter. It's really going to make others envious.”Xiao Ling only smiled shyly and did not speak.
The female official continued," Miss, you may not know this, but the Imperial Concubine is so beautiful that she can topple cities. She can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world today. For such a heaven-sent beauty, the current Emperor naturally dotes on her to the extreme. It was well known that the Imperial Concubine loved roses. In order to please the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor planted a large number of roses here and turned it into a rose garden.”
Xiao Ling nodded. Seeing that the female official had stopped, he continued to stuff a silver ingot into the female official's hand. The female official nodded in satisfaction and continued to speak.
"Young Lady is really sensible. Your future will definitely be boundless. The Imperial Concubine was deeply doted on by the Emperor, so she was naturally a little arrogant. Her vicious methods were well known in the palace. If anyone touched the roses in the rose garden, it meant that they did not put the Imperial Consort in their eyes and would be sentenced to death.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling's heart thumped. She did not expect that this rose garden would have such an origin. This Imperial Concubine was so powerful. It seemed that this stupid and foolish Liu Yun would definitely be defeated by this. This time, she went to the Imperial Concubine Hall. It was already the Imperial Concubine's mercy that she could leave her corpse intact.
Xiao Ling looked at Liu Yun. Her smiling appearance made Liu Yun's heart go numb. Cold sweat broke out on her back and soaked her clothes. Xiao Ling thought that although Tuoba Feng's matter was nonsense, it was just his own guess. He did not know the actual situation. If this matter was brought to the Empress Dowager by Liu Yun, and with Qing 'er's irrefutable evidence, Tuoba Feng would definitely fall from grace. Instead of this, it would be better to owe Liu Yun a favor and let this matter rest.
Xiao Ling was not stupid. If he used the hands of the Imperial Concubine to get rid of Liu Yun, then Xiao Qing would lose the big tree behind her and bear a grudge against him. If she was desperate and made a fuss with the Chen family, how would he be able to resist? From this point of view, giving Liu Yun a favor was the best policy.
The corners of Xiao Ling's mouth cracked into a smile as he fumbled around for his silver ingots. He only brought those two with him. The rest were kept by Jinniang. Xiao Ling turned around and said to Jinniang," Jinniang, give me two gold ingots. Which one do you want?"”
Jin Niang was a little absent-minded. The banquet hadn't even started yet, why did Miss want so much money? Miss had always been cautious, so why was she so generous today? " Miss, this…" Xiao Ling glared at Jin Niang and said somewhat impatiently,""Don't talk too much. Just give it to me.”
"Yes, sir!" Jinniang carefully took out a bulging purse from her pocket and took out two gold ingots. When Xiao Ling was about to take them, Jinniang frowned slightly and hesitated. The female official glanced at Xiao Ling and unconsciously frowned. What did she want so many gold ingots for? Could it be that she wanted to plead with him to let Liu Yun go?
The female official thought to herself. She was also unable to figure out Xiao Ling. The female official glanced at Liu Yun. She was naturally terrified. When she received the female official's gaze, she timidly lowered her head. Looking at this Liu Yun, she didn't like Xiao Ling, and for Xiao Ling to be able to treat Liu Yun like this, it could be seen that this woman wasn't just a shrewd person, she wasn't an ordinary unfathomable person.
Xiao Ling took the golden ingot from Jin Niang and was about to pass it to the female official when Tuoba Feng hurriedly reached out his hand to stop Xiao Ling. "Ling-er, what are you doing?”Tuoba Feng looked at Liu Yun, then looked at the gold ingot in Xiao Ling's hand," Could it be that you want to save that slut?”
Xiao Ling smiled and nodded. Tuoba Feng released his hand, but his face was filled with unhappiness. He coldly looked at the road in front of him, no longer being intimate with Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling had also seen through the clues. Liu Yun's words just now hit the nail on the head, exposing Tuoba Feng and An Ming's matter, causing Tuoba Feng to lose all his face. Now, Xiao Ling wanted to save her again, so Tuoba Feng was naturally unwilling.
"Sister, you're the daughter of the Tuoba Family. Why are you so narrow-minded?”Xiao Ling smiled and placed his hand on Tuoba Feng's arm. Tuoba Feng angrily shook off Xiao Ling's hand on his arm. For a moment, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and blushed with Xiao Ling. "Sister, are you really that powerful? Seeing that I, Tuoba Feng, have gained power, you have a deep sisterly relationship with me. Seeing that I, Tuoba Feng, have fallen, you are now fawning over the enemy who attacked me.”
Xiao Ling was a little angry when she heard this. She put away the two gold ingots in her hands. It seemed that she was determined to help Liu Yun. She turned around angrily," Sister must be joking. How can Sister be so shameless? Others don't know, but how can Sister not know how Sister treats Sister?”
Tuoba Feng saw that Xiao Ling was angry and knew that she was right. However, he was used to being straightforward and said things out loud. If he said something wrong, then he said it wrong. No one dared to say anything wrong, and he didn't know how to comfort people. Moreover, she was the one who disrespected him first. "But Younger Sister, by doing this, where are you putting Older Sister? Could it be that the great humiliation that Older Sister suffered in the room just now is written off just like that?”
Tuoba Feng was still fuming with anger. He coldly raised his eyebrows, but Xiao Ling ignored him. She just bent her body and refused to turn around. Tuoba Feng saw that Xiao Ling was really angry, so he was a little afraid. "Aiyo, my good sister, don't be angry with me. I, Tuoba Feng, have never been humiliated like this since I was young.”
Xiao Ling slowly turned around and looked at Tuoba Feng's angry face. She smiled sweetly and gently shook her sleeves. "Younger sister knows, but isn't Younger sister thinking for elder sister's sake? That Miss Liu has always disliked elder sister, and now that she has something on elder sister, she will definitely report it to the Empress Dowager. What should elder sister do then? It's better to grant her a favor now and let her keep this matter to herself.”
Tuoba Feng, who was still angry, was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time." So it turns out that you don't believe in your sister's innocence. You and I have been sisters for so long. Don't you know what kind of person your sister is? How can you believe her slander?"”
Tuoba Feng shook off Xiao Ling's sleeve and looked at Xiao Ling coldly. The coldness in his eyes made Xiao Ling afraid. Tuoba Feng had never looked at her like this before, and it made her hair stand on end. "Elder sister has misunderstood. Younger sister didn't mean it that way. It's just that gossip in the palace is a terrible thing. If such rumors spread, it would damage elder sister's reputation.”
Tuoba Feng snorted coldly and started arguing with Xiao Ling." It was fabricated out of thin air. Why should I be afraid of it? I, Tuoba Feng, am upright and upright. Why should I be afraid of rumors? What makes me feel disappointed is that the person whom I treat as my biological sister doesn't believe me and even wants to help that b * tch escape."”
Tuoba Feng's words were resolute and decisive, leaving Xiao Ling speechless for a moment. She didn't know what to say. Seeing Xiao Ling and Tuoba Feng's red faces, the female official didn't know whether she should help Liu Yun or offend Tuoba Feng because of this. She furrowed her brows tightly and pondered for a while.
Tuoba Feng didn't listen to Xiao Ling's words at all. Xiao Ling turned around and looked at the female official. The female official was also in a difficult position. Xiao Ling was clear that he was just using the tiger's might. If Tuoba Feng wasn't around, how could the female official give him any face? "If Younger Sister wants to help, go ahead and help. Since Younger Sister doesn't trust Elder Sister, I think there's no need for us to be sisters anymore.”
Tuoba Feng angrily finished speaking and was about to leave. Xiao Ling grabbed Tuoba Feng's clothes and knelt down for him. Everyone present was shocked," Elder sister, please listen to little sister. Little sister isn't an ungrateful person. I will repay your kindness today. Please trust little sister. Later, little sister will tell you the inside story."”Xiao Ling's mysterious and bright eyes sparkled, causing Tuoba Feng's heart to ache.
Seeing her so sincere, if she didn't agree, it would be her fault. Seeing that Xiao Ling usually didn't seem like an unreasonable person, it was better to believe her this time. Tuoba Feng's face twitched. His heart moved and softened. "Alright, alright, get up quickly. I won't blame you. Do whatever you want. I believe you have your reasons.”
Only then did Xiao Ling happily stand up, holding the two golden ingots in her hands, not very happy. "Sister is a lady from a noble family after all. Her temperament is extraordinary.”Xiao Ling went over and took the gold ingot and placed it in the female official's palm. Without saying anything, the female official knew what Xiao Ling meant.
Seeing Tuoba Feng pampering Xiao Ling so much, the female official didn't dare to disobey. She was also afraid of offending Tuoba Feng. "Young Lady is like this, if Imperial Consort blames me, this servant cannot bear it.”As the female official spoke, she put away the two silver ingots with a look of refusal, showing no intention of refusing.
"Daren must be joking. It's a sunny day in the Rose Garden, and nothing happened. We also didn't see anything, so how could the Imperial Concubine blame us?”The female official nodded knowingly and said to the group of girls behind her,""The rose garden is sunny today. Did you see anything?”
Even if he didn't give face to the female official, he had to at least give Tuoba Feng some face. After all, she was the one who wanted to save him. The ladies and officials looked at each other and replied in unison that they had not seen anything. The female official nodded her head in satisfaction and turned around to bow slightly to Xiao Ling." Miss, it's settled."”
