Chapter 316
This was Ling Jingshu’s first – Compared to the luxurious and opulent Pepper Room Hall, the Purple Chen Hall had much less furnishings and was more calm and atmospheric
The air was a mixture of medicinal and sandalwood scents, somewhat stuffy
The palace maids and chambermaids entered and exited softly and noiselessly, and even though they were very curious about Ling Jingshu’s appearance, no one dared to look around
A white beardless eunuch walked over and looked Ling Jingshu up and down, with a meaningful meaning in his gaze, “You’re Officer Ling, aren’t you!”
After sitting in the heavenly prison for two months, she was thin and emaciated
And no fancy clothes and beautiful decorations, and then the beauty of the woman to fade a few points of color
This Ling Jingshu is an exception
Plain face is still beautiful and bright, eyes clear and bright, as if you can look into the heart, unforgettable
No wonder the emperor can’t forget her, not waiting for the dragon’s body to heal, he called her to meet
This eunuch, is the eunuch Ding beside the emperor
Ling Jingshu had only met Eunuch Ding once before, on the night of Empress Xu’s incident
However, the impression this Eunuch Ding left on her was incredibly deep
Ling Jingshu didn’t dare to be slow, she bent down and saluted, “Jingshu has met Eunuch Ding”
Eunuch Ding was quite polite: “Lady Ling does not need to be so courteous
His Majesty is still recuperating on his bed, so it is not appropriate for him to get off the couch
Follow me into the bedchamber to greet the Emperor
-”Ling Jingshu respectfully answered, but secretly frowned in her heart
The fact that the Emperor had suddenly summoned her was already suspicious
To go so far as to call her into the bedchamber to meet with
She was just a female official, and this kind of treatment was really a bit weird
Anything out of the ordinary must be a demon!
She must be careful in dealing with it!
Ling Jingshu subconsciously raised her guard and followed Eunuch Ding into the Emperor’s chambers
As for Bai Yu, she was not qualified to follow him in and could only stay outside and wait
The smell of medicine in the chambers became even stronger
Ling Jingshu kept her head hung down and did not look around
When she entered the bedchamber, she knelt down and asked for peace, “Slave servant Ling Jingshu, greetings to His Majesty”
The Emperor, who was half-sitting, half-lying on the bed, casually hmmm’d, “Please do not salute and level off”
Ling Jingshu respectfully thanked the emperor for his favor and stood up straight while quickly sweeping a glance
His Majesty’s gaze was staring at her intently, with some strange brightness in his gaze
This glance caused Ling Jingshu’s heart to instantly sink to the bottom
Such a gaze was not unfamiliar to her at all
Back then, after marrying Lu Hong, she had seen such a light in Lu Qian’s eyes, in Lu An’s eyes
After being reborn, there was also the Imperial Grandson and the King of Yan
It was the admiring and coveting gaze of a man on a beautiful young girl!
It was also the gaze she most deeply hated and loathed!
She had gone to great lengths to come to the capital, endeavoring to get close to Princess Changping, Empress Xu, bent on revenge
-Didn’t want to get close to any man again
However, fate is always this cruel
Going round and round, she still had to face the pain of her previous life
No, this is a predicament that is even harder to cope with and get out of than her previous life!
The aged man in front of her was the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sitting on top of the world
One word allows life, one word and all die!
Cannot tolerate disobedient rejection
Ling Jingshu’s complexion didn’t change much, but her hands, which were shrunk in her sleeves, kept trembling lightly
Heart disordered, the whole person as in the cold cellar
It was obviously a hot and dry day, but her whole body was freezing coldLing Jingshu, you’ve been in the Heavenly Prison for two months, is there anything you want to say to me now?”
The Emperor’s tone was not harsh, it was even considered gentle, and a faintly invisible smile flashed in his eyes
Bad things one after another, these days, the emperor’s mood can be imagined
Today, his mood suddenly came and he had Ling Jingshu summoned to meet the saint
Seeing the beautiful and lovely young girl, her mood really improved a lot
Ling Jingshu fixed her mind and replied, ”Thank you for your inquiries, Your Majesty
The slave girl has been meditating and reflecting in the prison these days, reviewing the wrongs that the slave girl had done, and is deeply ashamed”The slave girl knew that the situation in the Pepper Room Hall was different, but because of cowardice and timidity, she did not dare to report it to anyone
It made the Emperor witness an unpleasant scene, and also got furious because of it, angry at the dragon body, lying on the couch and recuperating for such a long time has not yet healed ,” Eunuch Ding’s expression stiffened
This Ling Jingshu, look smart and clever, how to speak so stupid blunt
What happened that night is the Emperor’s scar, no one dares to mention it freely
She is good, she can’t stop talking about it as soon as she meets the Emperor!
The Emperor’s eyebrows twitched and the smile in his eyes darkened
Ling Jingshu’s melodious and pleasant voice still echoed in the ears:”
The slave girl knows that she has made a big mistake, and to be able to save her life is already an imperial favor, so she doesn’t dare to ask for anything else
The slave girl only begs to continue to stay in the Heavenly Prison to live”
His Majesty looked deeply at Ling Jingshu: “You saying this is a surprise to me
In the Heavenly Prison, there is no daylight, ordinary people can’t stand staying there for a few days
You’ve been in the Heavenly Prison for two months now, don’t you want to come out?”
Ling Jingshu’s fingers pinched into her palm, a burst of tingling pain, but on her face she was calm and collected, “Ruilian Qiushang and the others are all locked up in the Heavenly Prison, what kind of virtue and ability does a slave girl have, how could she dare to wish to come out of the Heavenly Prison”Ruilian they have been serving in the Pepper Room Hall for several years, they are all Empress Xu’s beloved ones
You entered the palace not of your own will, and have not yet completed half a year, and do not know the hidden secrets in the Pepper Room Hall
It is different from several of them”
The emperor said faintly: “Although I am the son of heaven, but is not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately
You in front of me, there is no need to be terrified
What do you want to say in your heart, just say it
I will pardon your innocence!”
Hearing such words, even Eunuch Ding couldn’t help but be surprised
His Majesty was really looking at this Ling Jingshu in a different light and favoring her
If anyone else had said such stupid things, they would have been dragged back to the Heavenly Prison
Which there is what “heart what want to say just say out”, not to mention what “I pardon you not guilty”!
It seems that the palace will soon have a favorite concubine!
Perhaps, the honor will be even better than the year Wei Jieyu it!
Eunuch Ding’s mind was active, and he quickly calculated
While Ling Jingshu is not yet in favor, he will first take care of her and make a good relationship with her
Not waiting for Eunuch Ding to finish thinking, Ling Jingshu’s voice rang out again, “Your Majesty is generous and kind, so the slave girl is terrified
Then the slave girl will dare to say what she wishes in her heart, hoping that Your Majesty will grant it!”
Say it say it!
Say that you are willing to stay in the Purple Palace to serve the Emperor!
Say that you are loyal to the Emperor and have no second thoughts!
From now on, you have embarked on a path of glory and splendor in life, and glory and wealth are just around the corner!
Eunuch Ding looked at Ling Jingshu with an expectant gaze
What the Emperor had in mind was obviously not far off from Eunuch Ding, and his eyes flashed with pleasure: ”Oh?
What is it that you want to ask me?”
