Ling Shuang entered the side hall, but saw the queen sitting on the ground, sobbing in a low voice, and was surprised, hurriedly stepped forward, supported the queen, and said softly: "Queen Mother, don't hurt your body!" ”

After the queen was helped up, Ling Shuang helped her sit down on the chair, then took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to the queen, the queen looked sad, took the silk handkerchief, and wiped her tears.

Ling Shuang poured a cup of hot water in the past, and then walked to the queen's side, presented tea with both hands, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, you drink some water!" ”

The queen raised her hand and gently pushed it away, Ling Shuang put the tea on the table, stood beside her with her hands down, and saw the queen's sad and sad look, she was smart and icing, in fact, she had already guessed a few points, and wanted to comfort a few words, but when she thought of her identity, she wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't speak.

The queen wiped away her tears and said with a wry smile: "I know he has resentment in his heart, but I didn't expect him to become like this!" Wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked up at Ling Shuang, and when she saw Ling Shuang's face, the queen lost her voice and said, "It's you!" ”

Ling Shuang was stunned, although she was in the capital, she was immediately brought into the palace by King Qi, but King Qi concealed this matter and did not dare to let the emperor and empress know that when Ling Shuang was in the palace, she occasionally had the opportunity to see the queen in secret, but the queen naturally would not know Ling Shuang's identity, nor would she pay too much attention to the maids in the palace.

Hearing the queen's sudden words, Ling Shuang thought that the queen had already known her identity, so she was stunned for a moment, but she just lowered her head and didn't speak.

The queen had already taken Ling Shuang's hand and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave slave slave Lingshuang." Ling Shuang was a little nervous in her heart, and said softly: "When I was in the capital, I served by the prince's side, and the prince came to the northwest later, so the slaves and maids also followed. ”

The queen was stunned and ordered, "Raise your head." ”

Ling Shuang hesitated, raised her head, her beautiful face was as white as jade, the queen got up, took two steps back, and looked carefully, only to see Ling Shuang's bright eyes and bright teeth, water and delicate spirit, like a beautiful daffodil, slim and elegant, with an elegant temperament that is out of the world.

"Your name is Ling Shuang?"

Ling Shuang nodded "um", and the queen asked again, "What's your surname?" Where is home? Where are my parents now? ”

Ling Shuang saw that the queen's mature and beautiful face was actually with a hint of excitement, and she felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't know how the queen had become so excited in an instant when she was still sad before.

"The slave's surname is Mo, and she is from Jinling Dao!" Ling Shuang said softly: "My parents are no longer here!" ”

When the queen heard this, the excitement on her pretty face suddenly disappeared a little, but she still looked Ling Shuang up and down, and asked, "Are you from Jinling?" ”

Ling Shuang nodded slightly, secretly wondering if the King of Qi had already told the queen about his own affairs, so the queen was here to get to the bottom of it.

She naturally knows that the royal law is strict, and the king of Qi is interested in herself, although now the king of Qi has always been courteous, and Ling Shuang does not have the love between men and women for the king of Qi, but the king of Qi is afraid that sooner or later the matter of marriage will be brought to the table, if the king of Qi tells the queen about this, the queen asks about his family background, it is naturally a matter of course.

Thinking of this, the nervousness in Ling Shuang's heart suddenly disappeared, and for some reason, there was a trace of expectation in her heart, hoping that the queen would dislike her family background and block this family business.

"Jinling!" The queen was thoughtful, and then asked, "Ling Shuang, when did your parents pass away?" ”

Ling Shuang thought for a moment before saying: "Ling Shuang has lived in a village in Jinling Road since he remembered, his parents are ordinary farmers, his family is poor, and Ling Shuang has an older brother!" ”

"Oh?"

"My brother is three years older than me." Ling Shuang said: "It's just that when Ling Shuang was five years old, his parents passed away one after another, except for his brother, he had no other relatives, and his brother was still young at that time, so he could only lead me around begging for a living!" ”

"And what happened?" The queen asked busily.

Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment before saying, "My brother and I begged around for two years, and then we got separated from my brother and never saw each other again, at that time, Ling Shuang Ling Shuang was only seven years old!" ”

"Seven?" The queen asked, "And how old are you?" ”

"Twenty-one!" Ling Shuang replied.

"Twenty-one?" The queen frowned slightly, groaned slightly, seemed to be thinking about something, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and said, "After you and your brother were separated, how did you live?" You were only seven years old at the time, and it was very difficult for you to survive if you were left alone. ”

Ling Shuang smiled lightly and said, "What the queen mother said is that after Ling Shuang and her brother were separated, they didn't even see their last relatives, and they had no relatives, but they met at that time!" At this point, his face was slightly pale, his eyes flashed, but he did not continue.

The queen walked up, held Ling Shuang's hand, and said softly: "Ling Shuang, you don't have to be afraid, what happens to you, just tell me, I know it must be very difficult." ”

Ling Shuang thought for a while before saying: "I met a man, he took me to a place, met a woman, after the woman saw me, she took me in, did chores for a few years, and began to let me learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as singing and dancing!" At this point, he didn't go on.

The queen already understood something, and sighed lightly: "In those years, you must have had a very miserable life. After a deep groan, he finally asked, "Then how did you get to Yingren?" Did someone send you to the palace? ”

When Ling Shuang heard this, she suddenly felt strange in her heart, secretly wondering if the queen didn't know her origin, and wanted to tell the queen the reason for the matter, but she thought that King Qi and herself met in the Qinglou, if she told the queen about it, King Qi's visit to the Qinglou would naturally be revealed, and she suddenly hesitated, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say more.

Seeing this, the queen knew that Ling Shuang must have something unspeakable, and saw that Ling Shuang was delicate and watery, with a small jasper temperament, not at all like a girl who came out of Fireworks Willow Lane, took Ling Shuang's hand, sat down first, and then let Ling Shuang sit in front of her, Ling Shuang was very restrained, the queen persuaded her, and Ling Shuang sat down in front of the queen nervously.

"Ling Shuang, I am very happy that you can follow Yingren from the capital to the northwest and not leave him when he needs someone to take care of him the most." The queen said softly: "I want to know more about you, no matter what happens, if you sue me, you will treat me as your mother, just as the mother and son are talking, don't worry." ”

Ling Shuangshui's eyes blinked slightly, and seeing the queen's look of anticipation, she said softly: "Queen, don't you really blame?" ”

"You just say it." The queen showed a smile, "No matter what happens, I just think that my daughter is confiding her pain in her heart to her mother, do you say okay?" ”

Ling Shuang saw the queen's loving face, her heart trembled, she hesitated for a moment, and finally told the story of the year.

From the beginning of Baoxianglou's competition for the Oiran, until Chu Huan later resorted to the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, and then from Yunshan to the capital, King Qi designed to bring himself into the palace, and Ling Shuang did not hide it.

What the queen listened to was thrilling, before Ling Shuang told it, although the queen had guessed that Ling Shuang's experience must be bumpy, she didn't expect it to be so bizarre.

She always thought that Yingren was docile and pure, but she didn't know that she was very bold in private, and she even brought Ling Shuang into the palace without telling her.

It's just that at this moment, he didn't have time to care about Yingren's misdeeds back then, with a look of love and pity, he held Ling Shuang's hand and sighed: "Child, it's really hard for you, if your father knows this, I don't know how to feel distressed!" Speaking of this, the already red circles under his eyes were even more tearful.

Ling Shuang was stunned, only felt that the queen's words were a little strange, and blurted out, "Does the queen know her father?" As soon as the words came out, I knew that the queen was a golden branch and jade leaf, the mother of the Great Qin Empire, and her father was just a poor person, how could the two intersect.

Unexpectedly, the queen stared at Ling Shuang, carefully looked at Ling Shuang's delicate facial features, and her voice was with a hint of self-reproach: "This is all blame for me, I should have found you for making you suffer all these years, all blame me!" ”

The more Ling Shuang listened, the more strange she felt, and she hurriedly said: "Queen, this is all fate, and it has nothing to do with the queen's mother!" Thinking of Yingren's appearance when he left, he was a little worried, and said softly: "Queen Mother, you rest earlier, the prince and the prince sometimes speak bluntly, you know him better than the slave maid, don't blame him for the slave and the maid to see how he is now." ”

The queen shook her head and said, "Leave him alone, he will be fine." He asked softly, "Ling Shuang, did you tell you something special when your parents were alive?" ”

"Something special?" Ling Shuang was puzzled: "What does the queen mean?" ”

The queen hesitated for a moment before she said, "Did they say that you were not born of them?" ”

Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment, showing surprise, and then shook his head and said: "When the slave and maid were very young, their parents passed away, and even they don't remember what they looked like, but they vaguely remember, they treated me very well, and when Daddy and Daddy came back from doing farm work, he always brought some small things to the slave and maid!" She was very smart, and faintly felt that the queen's words today were a little abnormal, and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother, why do you ask like this?" Do you think that slaves and maids are not born to their parents? ”

The queen frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and finally said, "Lingshuang, you come with me." "Get up, turn around and walk to the back.

Ling Shuang was a little surprised, stood up, and did not follow, the queen took a few steps, turned back and beckoned, "Child, come here!" ”

Ling Shuang hesitated, and finally followed the past, turned a screen with the queen, and turned to a room on the side of the side hall, the queen closed the door, there was an oil lamp lit in the room, the lone lamp was cold, the queen took Ling Shuang's hand in the past, went to the back of a screen in the inner room, and said softly: "Child, you take off your shirt!" ”R1058
