As soon as the old prince's voice fell, a black shadow flashed out of the imperial study.

The old prince pinched his forehead, revealing a little tired and unbearable, and continued to review the folds.

It's just that I just picked it up, put it down again, took the rice paper and laid it out, took the pen and dipped it in ink, and wanted to draw the prince and the princess.

The pen stopped in the air for half a day and finally put it down.

It's not that he has forgotten what his son looks like, but after so many years, I don't know if there has been any change in his appearance, the old prince asked his father-in-law to send a message to Minglan and asked her to draw everyone's portraits.

All day long, Minglan was painting the portraits of the prince and the princess.

They may be like her, taking advantage of other people's bodies, and no one knows about them, but they themselves know that when they see the portrait, they will definitely come to the palace to look for her.

The next day, the portraits of the prince and the princess were posted all over the street, for fear of being treated as prisoners, the old prince also specially added a line of small characters to the portrait, they are all nobles who have left the dynasty, and the government treats each other with courtesy.

After staying in the palace for two days, from the mouth of the lord of Zhaoning County, Minglan knew how hard these old princes had lived.

Since the old prince was exiled to the Great Zhou Dynasty and became the prince of the Great Zhou, the Great Departure Dynasty fell apart, and the people were miserable every year.

Leaving the word is not auspicious.

But the old prince took the initiative to ask the emperor to crown him as the king of departure, in order to remind himself not to forget the Great Departure Dynasty at all times, he is the emperor of the Great Departure, a person who should have left, and he does not belong to the Great Zhou.

The current Dali Dynasty is no longer the previous Dali Dynasty, in the eyes of the officials, the previous Dali was the West, and now it is the East.

Although the emperor is still the same person.

But in just over 30 years, the Great Departure Dynasty has changed three surnames and six emperors, the longest is only eight years, and the shortest is only half a year, and I don't know how many times this palace has been stained with blood.

Ling Yi thought that the palace had not changed much, but when he really walked around the imperial garden, he found that the palace was very different from what he remembered, the old locust tree he liked to climb the most in the garden was gone, and the palace maid said that it was burned down by fire more than ten years ago.

and the dormitory where he used to live, which was also burned to ashes in a fire.

The six elders of the holy mountain, accompanied by two lives to pull the old prince back, the old prince in the name of the emperor, summoned the letter of the soldiers, revitalized, the first to respond to him is the prince of Zhenguo, in the mind of the old prince, the weight of the prince of the town is very important, so he will be posthumously crowned, and allow the young master Gu to inherit the title.

Before the death of Zhenguo Gong on the battlefield, the old prince has been driving the expedition in person, so many years, recovering half of the territory, after the death of Zhenguo Gong, the old prince was also injured and returned to Beijing to recuperate.

When the county lord of Zhaoning told Minglan these things, she said, "Fortunately, my father and eldest brother came, when my grandfather was in the barracks, he often didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and I secretly drugged him a few times, just so that he could sleep well, and now that my father and eldest brother are here, I can help my grandfather share one or two." ”

Over the years, no matter where the old prince went, he took the county lord of Zhaoning with him, and he almost never left.

Dali has changed hands several times, the previous Dali royal family has been almost wiped out, only some side branches are left, two days ago smashed the Yongwangfu county lord who injured the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, if there is no accident in the Dali Dynasty, how can there be the arrogance of the Yongwangfu?

It's just that the old prince has no successor, and he treats these only remaining royal clans with special leniency and indulges them.

Before Minglan and them came, there was only one county lord of Zhaoning under the old prince's knees.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would always mention seven or eight times a month to let the old prince draft and spread the branches for the royal family, but the old prince is old, how can he still think about this, he is not without children, he is just not here.

After mentioning it so many times, the huge harem is still empty, and the ministers are also dead, staring at the county lord of Zhaoning.

Although there is no precedent for a woman to be the emperor in the past dynasties, there is only such a single seedling under their emperor's knees, and she has the blood of the royal family in her body.

The old prince was afraid that he would not last long, worried that the county lord of Zhaoning would not be able to grasp the overall situation, and he did not want to put the burden of the court on her, so he kept asking the elders of the holy mountain to find a way to bring the prince and Chu Li, but the holy mountain lacked two elders, and the methods could not be exhausted.

The county lord of Zhaoning sighed, "Next month, I will be in time, and my grandfather said that before I and the elder of the Holy Mountain could not bring my father and eldest brother, he chose a county horse for me, and I was so scared that I didn't fall asleep for several days." ”

Minglan thought that the prince had an accident in his previous life, and he was hit by several arrows, but he was grabbed by a hand that appeared in the air.

Why didn't she think that the giant hand might be to save the prince.

With so many arrows in his body, it is extremely difficult to survive, if he really wants the life of the old prince, he can just let it go, there is no need to arrest him.

She had to think of this earlier, and Chu Li and the princess wouldn't have to worry about it for so long.

Now I am not only worried about the old prince, but also about her.

I wish they had seen the posted notice sooner and found it sooner.

Minglan waited patiently in the palace.

This is half a month.

The palace is not smaller than the palace of the Great Zhou, and even the territory is a little more vast, but there are not many people in the harem, first, the old prince did not remarry, and secondly, in order to reduce the use, there are fewer people, and there are naturally fewer struggles, the county lord of Zhaoning did not have any playmates before, and now there is more Minglan, and it is her sister-in-law, and the county lord of Zhaoning is happy.

Ling Yi loved to join in the fun, but the old prince didn't allow him to leave the palace, he begged a few times, but the old prince didn't agree, so he gave up.

The mess he poked out, the old prince reviewed and folded until midnight every day, he couldn't help, and he was messing around, he was not such a conscienceless person.

He thinks that being an emperor is not good at all, he is tired and tired, and he may be accused of being a faint king, how can he be a prince, especially the prince with heavy troops in his hands, and the prince of Jinshan, he is so cool that he will not change the throne.

He will be such a prince in the future.

Ling Yi secretly swore in his heart.

On this day, Minglan and the others accompanied the old prince to dinner, and the county lord of Zhaoning bit his chopsticks and asked, "Grandfather, is there still no news of their father?"

The old prince shook his head, "No." ”

"Not at all?" Minglan asked.

The old prince sighed.

At this time, a guard ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, there is news!"

Ling Yi was small, and immediately stood up and asked, "Who have you found?"

The guard held a painting in his hand and said, "That's her." ”

The portrait is of Lord Ning.

Minglan couldn't suppress her joy, and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is she now?"

"Just outside the palace," the guard replied hurriedly.
