Chapter 274 Targeted
After Shen Qing and Xuan Yuan Ling went out, Xuan Yuan Ling asked Shen Qing where to go this time, and Shen Qing said, "Why don't we go shopping less."
After shopping last time, I felt very tired this time, so I just went shopping less.
"I have nothing else to do today, so I'll go out for a walk with you."
Shen Qing blinked twice: "Just accompany me?"
"How?" Xuanyuan Ling just said that, and saw Shen Qing's surprised expression was not concealed.
He even raised an eyebrow: "Can't I just stay with you?"
It's not that it's impossible, but I feel that Xuanyuan Ling's character is a bit broken. He did take her with him last time because he had something to do, but this time he just wanted to take her out to play when he had nothing to do?
Shen Qing thought she knew Xuanyuan Ling fairly well, and she felt that he was unlikely to do such a thing.
If she always acted naive in front of Xuanyuan Ling, it would feel weird. She would just pretend to be stupid, but in Xuanyuan Ling's eyes, she was not just a little lamb, so she showed her surprise and confusion appropriately. If Xuanyuan Ling really had something to say and didn't give an answer, he would at least give a hint, right?
Xuanyuan Ling was still a little surprised when she saw that Chen Qing didn't answer. Just looking at him, she knew that she had noticed something.
I can't help but sigh that this little thing is really smart.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take you out for a walk today, don't worry about the rest."
That means something is really wrong.
Shen Qing didn't know what was going on, but Xuanyuan Ling said there was no need to worry about anything else today, so she naturally listened to him.
Why not believe it? If he wanted to lie to her, he could just make up an excuse. But since he didn't make any excuses and even hinted at some information, it would be a mistake to overthink it.
So Shen Qing smiled again and hooked his arm: "Then my husband is mine for the whole day today."
It's two different things to realize that you don't care because of what he said and to not realize that you believe what he said.
Chen Qing obviously found something wrong, but when he told her about it, she just pretended it was nothing. Not many people have this kind of open-mindedness, and it also represents trust and entrustment.
Although Shen Qing said it to his face at the beginning, Xuanyuan Ling still felt very touched by his actions.
So he naturally indulged her even more, his voice was so gentle that water could drip out of it, and he pinched her hand with a bit of doting: "Well, I'll be with you today, you can go wherever you want."
"My husband is the best," Shen Qing called sweetly.
Xuanyuan Ling felt even sweeter after hearing this.
Shen Qing was a little touched by what he said at that time because he could call him husband outside.
It was a pity that she kept calling her husband, as she could only call him outside.
After all, it was against the rules. In fact, he and Shen Qing had already violated the rules in many ways, but this was the only thing he didn't want her to make a habit of.
After all, she won't be outside forever, she still has to go back to the palace. Now she wants to be the only one favored. Although he is not angry, he is afraid that if she calls him too much, his thoughts will become deeper. For Xuanyuan Ling, it's okay to tell him about this, but it's really made her get used to it, which is not good for her.
Out of pity and compassion, I indulge her a little more. It's nothing, after all, I did ask her to come out and play today.
The change in mentality naturally led to a change in Xuanyuan Ling's attitude.
Chen Qing soon realized that Xuanyuan Ling was being too gentle today. If she didn't really know that Xuanyuan Ling would not do anything bad to her, she would have thought that Xuanyuan Ling was smiling but hiding a knife.
So the two of them had completely different ideas again, but strangely enough one of them had a great time while the other indulged himself the whole day.
It was not until dusk that the two returned to the palace. After Xuanyuan Ling took Chen Qing back, Chen Qing wanted to rest.
The excitement from earlier had passed, and now naturally all that was left was fatigue.
Fortunately, she had eaten outside, so she wouldn't be hungry, so Xuanyuan Ling let her go.
Instead, he said, "I still have things to do, you should rest first."
Shen Qing nodded obediently.
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help himself when he saw how well-behaved she was, so he went over to kiss her before leaving.
Shen Qing thought that he really had something to do, so she was not surprised that he took her out to play, after all, he doted on her. But today he obviously had something to do, so he took her out. But what was it that required him to take her out to play for a whole day?
For others to see?
It's not a glorious thing for the emperor to take his concubines out to play in private. Who is he doing it for?
Shen Qing thought about it and felt that it must be someone with ulterior motives.
As for who this person with ulterior motives is, Shen Qing still has to think about the original work.
After entering the palace, Chen Qing obviously did not ask about the affairs of the court. The news that could be heard in the harem were either too big to be covered up, like the matter of the king's uncle, or Xuanyuan Ling said it himself. Chen Qing didn't know about others, but apart from placing spies in the harem, she didn't lay any nails in the previous dynasty.
It's not that there are no benefits. In fact, those in the harem, such as the Queen and Concubine Qin, all have the support of their mother's families behind them, and all of them have many of their own people in the court.
But Chen Qing didn't intend to do so from the beginning. It's not that she didn't know the benefits of doing so, but she wouldn't do anything that was obviously a provocation to Xuanyuan Ling. Chen Qing has always had a sense of propriety, and she deeply understood that she couldn't stand on the opposite side of Xuanyuan Ling.
As long as she has any connection with the previous dynasty, he will easily become suspicious. He is good to her now, too good, but being linked to the previous dynasty is another matter. It is a good thing that Shen Zhizhuo has a promising future, and it is also a good thing that the previous dynasty and the harem can help each other, but this cannot be arranged by her personally.
So she knew most of what big things were going to happen in the court from the original novel. Although Butterfly has become like this now, the former dynasty is different from the harem, even the candidates for palace fighting have changed. In the original novel, when Xuanyuan Ling was reorganizing the court, there were a few people who jumped out and asked him to clean up, especially the aristocratic families were really a mess in the original novel.
Xuanyuan Ling would naturally provoke resistance if he tried to clean up the mess left by the previous emperor.
So in the original novel, in the seventh year after Chu Linglong entered the palace, Xuanyuan Ling was also assassinated during a parade. Chu Linglong had turned evil at that time, and she already had her own channels to obtain information. Therefore, Chu Linglong, who had noticed some clues, showed great importance to Xuanyuan Ling during the assassination, and therefore, her position became more and more stable.
But that should be six years later.
It’s only Chu Linglong’s first year in the palace. After the New Year, it can barely be considered the second year. Is the butterfly effect so strong?
But, why not?
Chen Qing suddenly thought of the death of the Second Prince. Yes, there was no Second Prince's death in the original novel, so Concubine Yu did not make a fuss about implicating the King's uncle, the Qin family and the Chen family did not confront each other so openly, and Xuanyuan Ling did not suppress the aristocratic families so early. Now all of this has happened, so all of this happened in advance?
Chen Qing seemed to have suddenly realized something. At this moment, she was sure that Xuanyuan Ling probably knew that someone was targeting him.
