After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 524 The mission of three people

It was not too early in the morning. After Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue had breakfast, they asked someone to call Li Jing and Yan Qing.

When the two men came in, they were both wearing tight clothes and their faces were covered with sweat.

"Did you have a sparring match?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Well, Sister Ajing asked me to practice with her." Yan Qing said, and handed her hand to Xiao Yu, with a pair of round eyes full of grievance, "Your Highness, look, how hard Sister Ajing hit me, my hand is hurting."

Li Jing retorted: "Your hands are weak."

Su Lingyue took a glance and saw that, sure enough, the palm of her hand was red.

Su Lingyue had seen Yan Qing's kung fu. The fact that Yan Qing was unable to defend himself showed A Jing's strength.

As expected, it’s Ajing!

Su Lingyue sighed silently in her heart, and her big round eyes were filled with resentment.

Perhaps because her expression just now was too obvious, Su Lingyue felt guilty that her thoughts had been guessed, and asked hurriedly: "Yan Qing, are you injured? Can I make you some medicinal wine for injuries?"

"No need!" Yan Qing said softly.

Xiao Yu looked at their quarreling, and raised his lips slightly. He said indifferently, "A Jing, please be gentle when you spar with each other in the future."

Seeing that Xiao Yu had spoken, Li Jing glanced at Yan Qing's red knuckles and said, "I'll be gentler next time."

"No next time, okay?"

"No."

Li Jing ignored Yan Qing's pleading look and simply refused.

"Oh, the prince said that you are not allowed to hit me so hard next time." Yan Qing didn't understand why such a pretty girl could say such cruel words.

After all, he is a man, so he shouldn't bother with a woman like her.

Yan Qing silently compared Li Jing and Cai Die in his heart, and felt that a girl like Cai Die was more lovely. He didn't understand how Lin Chuan had the courage to like Sister A Jing.

Xiao Yu stopped laughing and said seriously, "I called you here today because I want you to do something."

"What's the matter?" Yan Qing asked.

Xiao Yu said, "The princess' birthday is in two days. I will accompany her back to Duke Ding's mansion to pay respect to her mother. You two, go to Prince Jing's mansion and Minister of War Li Yi's mansion respectively. We will pick you up when we return."

Su Lingyue was a little surprised. When she discussed with Xiao Yu yesterday, she didn't mention going to Prince Jing's Mansion!

Before she could ask, Xiao Yu instructed Li Jing, "Ah Jing, go and kill anyone from the Li Mansion, any concubine or illegitimate child will do. Injure but not kill. Just one or two will do. Act as if you are looking for something."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jing nodded.

"Yan Qing, you are good at Qimen Dunjia, so go to Prince Jing's mansion and look for Prince Jing's external correspondence to see if there is anything useful."

What Xiao Yu was referring to as useful were naturally those who colluded with court officials and collaborated with the enemy.

But, since we have made the trip to Prince Jing’s Mansion with great difficulty, shouldn’t we look for the Spirit Fire Grass?

Yan Qing looked at Su Lingyue who was looking at Xiao Yu, but ultimately did not ask what was in her mind.

Li Jing said coldly, "But assassination and retrieving are not suitable for daytime. Your Majesty and Princess plan to stay in Duke Dingguo's Mansion until night?"

Su Lingyue knew what Li Jing was worried about.

Now they have almost fallen out with Su Heng, and the only connection is Su Lingyue.

Moreover, if Su Heng did not acknowledge Su Lingyue as his daughter, they would have no reason to stay in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Even if he stayed, given Xiao Yu's physical condition, it would be easy for Su Heng to do something.

Su Lingyue looked at Li Jing and comforted her: "Ah Jing, don't worry, there are other guards in the mansion, and I have a way to make father dare not touch me and the prince."

At this point, Yan Qing became curious, "Princess, what is the method?"

Su Lingyue blinked and deliberately kept it a secret. "Keep it a secret!"

After explaining everything to Yan Qing and Li Jing, Su Lingyue asked someone to find Butler Wu to coordinate the specific matters.

Yan Qing found an excuse to go outside the hall with Xiao Yu.

"Your Highness, it's not easy to go to Prince Jing's Mansion. Isn't it a pity not to look for the Spirit Fire Grass?"

Xiao Yu stood tall and looked at Yan Qing and said softly, "Of course I have to look for you. Princess, it's inconvenient for you to say more just now. We have been together for many years, and I believe you can understand the hidden meaning of my words, so I didn't say much."

"Of course I understand what Your Majesty said!" Yan Qing smiled and strode back to prepare.

While Su Lingyue was busy, Xiao Yu called Caidie Caiyi outside.

Caiyi asked, "I wonder what the prince wants to talk to us about?"

"I am teaching you this because I want to know how the princesses celebrated their birthdays in previous years?"

Xiao Yu stood in the corridor, his black hair tied up, and a dark blue brocade robe with wide sleeves made his figure look even taller. He looked elegant and dignified, and his expression was calm.

If you just listen carefully, you will find that there is something unnatural in his words.

"I want to ask you, what birthday gifts did Lord Jiang and Miss Qin give to the princess in previous years?"

Su Lingyue arranged his birthday very nicely, and he wanted to do the same, but Su Lingyue's birthday was also her mother's death anniversary.

And Su Lingyue also said that she never celebrated her birthday.

However, this was the first birthday he and Yue'er had celebrated since their marriage.

...and maybe the last one.

These days, he thought about it and felt that no matter what gift he gave, it would be wrong.

There was no other way now, Xiao Yu could only ask Su Lingyue's closest maid.

Caiyi thought about the past years and said, "Miss Qin gave me clothes she made and beautiful jewelry. As for my uncle and cousin, I gave them all kinds of rare trinkets, priceless jewelry, land and shops."

"Does the princess like anything she likes?"

Caiyi was still thinking, and Caidie blurted out: "Miss really likes the things sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold instantly. He turned his head and glanced at Caidie, and there seemed to be a sharp knife hidden in his eyes.

Xiao Yu had never looked at them like this before.

Caidie was so scared that she quickly took a step back, blinking her big round innocent eyes and explaining: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished what I said. At that time, the young lady loved the prince, and she liked whatever the prince gave her. The prince gave her some ordinary dolls, jade pendants, hairpins and rings. Now the prince and the young lady are in harmony, I, I think the young lady will like whatever the prince gives her, as long as it is from the prince's heart."

Xiao Yu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He turned around and stopped looking at them, waving his hand to signal them to leave.

At this time, Caiyi hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, there may be something that you can really help Miss with."

Xiao Yu's frown relaxed, and he asked Cai Yi calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, please follow me."

Xiao Yu followed Cai Yi back to the bedroom, and Cai Yi told Cai Die, "Go get the young lady's painting."

Caidie took the painting as ordered, and Caiyi went to light the lamp.

Xiao Yu looked at Caidie in confusion. She walked to the closet and took out a carved agarwood box from the innermost part.

"what is this?"

What to wear every day was arranged by Su Lingyue and the maid. He had never looked at the wardrobe carefully and didn't know that there was such a box hidden inside.

"This is a portrait of the late lady."

Caidie put the box on the table, opened it, and saw a scroll lying quietly inside.

"Open it and show it to His Majesty." Caiyi instructed Caidie, and moved the light closer so that Xiao Yu could see clearly.

When the scroll was unrolled, Xiao Yu saw a young and beautiful woman in the painting, wearing a white Suzhou embroidered skirt, a goose yellow wide-sleeved brocade robe, a ruby necklace, and her black hair was combed into a peony bun with golden plum blossoms pinned in the bun. The woman stood dignifiedly with a gentle and bright smile on her face.

The only drawback was that the woman's eyes were blurred by water and it was impossible to see what her original pupils looked like.

Caiyi said, "This painting is the only one left by the young lady. The other ones were destroyed by the stepmother. One time, the master favored the second young lady and beat our young lady. The young lady was very sad and fell asleep hugging the portrait. As a result, she accidentally stained the painting with tears."

Xiao Yu felt suffocated when he heard this. He looked at the painting and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you find a craftsman to repair it?"

Caiyi choked up a bit and said, "We have looked for it, but the painter didn't know what the lady's eyes originally looked like. The lady has been dead for more than ten years, and my uncle and his family don't remember clearly, so they have been unable to restore it."

She looked at Xiao Yu, her eyes sparkling: "I have heard that the prince is an expert in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After all, the young lady was born to the Madam, so she always has the Madam's shadow. Perhaps the prince can try to see if it can be restored."

"If it can be repaired, Miss will be happier than receiving any gift."

Xiao Yu looked at the place where the tears were blurred on the painting, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

At that time, the little thing must have felt so wronged to cry like that. Over the years, every time I see the portrait of my mother, I don’t know how much remorse I feel in my heart.

"Okay, I will try my best on this matter. Don't tell the princess yet."

*

When he returned to the hall again, Butler Wu had already left. Xiao Yu sat down next to Su Lingyue, staring at her deeply, and stretched out his hand to her.

"Yue'er, come here."

"what's wrong?"

Although Su Lingyue didn't understand what Xiao Yu was going to do, she still put her hand in Xiao Yu's palm and sat in her arms.

Xiao Yu hugged Su Lingyue tightly, gently rubbed her snow-white cheek, and whispered: "Little thing, you can walk sideways in the mansion."

Although Xiao Yu's cheeks were cold, his sudden and irrelevant words hit Su Lingyue's heart hard, making her cheeks hot.

Su Lingyue leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder and asked softly, "Why is the prince suddenly so sentimental?"

Xiao Yu hugged her tenderly and said softly, "I just want to hug my Yue'er right now."

"Oh. Then hold me." Su Lingyue felt very comfortable with the cool touch on Xiao Yu's cheek, so she let Xiao Yu be intimate with her.

Xiao Yu gently stroked Su Lingyue's back, as if he wanted to wipe away the bad memories from the past from her heart.
