Chapter 157: Intercession
"Please, save my grandfather!" Lan Yunwen touched the ground with her forehead and pleaded with Shi Jiao'e. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know what the Lan family's situation was at the moment. But she had just divined the hexagram and found that her grandfather's death was approaching, and the Lan family was also facing great changes.
Nine deaths, nine deaths, everyone in the Lan family is in danger!
"You get up first......" Shi Jiao'e pursed the corners of her mouth, clenched her hands, and tried to calm the waves in her heart.
Her mother once told her that when something happens, you must control your emotions. Remember, any emotions are unhelpful, anger, fear, and will only make things worse. Only by being calm, and only by being calm, can we find a solution.
"You may not know that the emperor has sent guards to guard the palace gate and put the palace under house arrest in this inner palace." Shi Jiao'e pressed her temples and slowly lowered her eyelids.
"What?" Lan Yunwen raised her head abruptly and looked at Shi Jiao'e with a shocked expression.
How so? How so!
"Is there no way?" Lan Yunwen closed her eyes, tried hard to suppress her tears, and then opened her eyes in an instant and looked directly at Shi Jiao'e.
Her expression is very familiar to Shi Jiao'e.
When she was held in front of the two armies, standing on top of the bronze tripod, she looked like this—seemingly calm without any waves, but full of the last glimmer of hope in despair.
Is there no way?
Shi Jiao'e lowered her eyelids and did not speak.
Lan Yunwen looked at Shi Jiao'e, and her heart sank little by little. Actually, there is no need for Shi Jiao'e to say anything, she already understands it in her own heart. Even if you don't understand it, the hexagram has clearly shown that the Lan family is more than lucky this time.
However, she is just unwilling!
Since she has already calculated her fate, why can't she change her fate against the sky?
Why can't you change your life against the sky?
"Your grandfather, as well as the people of the Lan family, will be beheaded in the market tomorrow. Even if Hongu wants to help, with Hongu's current situation, there is no time to do anything. Shi Jiao'e took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision.
"The emperor now lives in the vestibule, and he refuses to step into the harem for half a step, and the palace can't even see him, let alone find an opportunity to stop him. If you want to save your grandfather, you must restrain the emperor and let him delay his sentence as much as possible. ”
Shi Jiao'e frowned and looked at Lan Yunwen. She really wanted to save Mr. Mingde, but it would be too hasty to force the palace now. It takes a lot of effort just to contact the people of all parties. Moreover, it is very easy to startle the snake and cause Han Xiu's precautions.
"I have a way to contain the emperor!" Lan Yunwen raised his head, and there was a determined look in his eyes. She looked at Shi Jiao'e with burning eyes and asked, "If I have a way to contain him, can you guarantee that you will definitely save my Lan family's clansmen?" ”
Shi Jiao'e's eyes froze, and she looked at Lan Yunwen with a scrutinizing gaze. After half a sound, she sighed and nodded: "Although this palace cannot guarantee it, as long as you can contain the emperor, this palace will definitely do its best to protect all the clansmen of your Lan family." ”
"Thank you, Queen!" Lan Yunwen leaned down, touched the ground with his forehead, and made a big salute respectfully. Then she stood up again, and walked out of the palace with a look of heroic justice.
"Have you really figured it out?" Shi Jiao'e stopped her and asked, "As long as you take this step, there will be no way to get out of this cage......
Lan Yunwen's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back, just continued to walk out as if he hadn't heard it.
……
The vestibule, the Chongde Temple.
Ever since Han Xiu moved out of the inner palace, he has been living in the Chongde Palace.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan asks to see you." Liu Quan bent his waist, leaned over with a flattering face, and lowered his head to report to Han Xiu.
"Concubine Lan?" Han Xiu raised his eyelids, and a look of sarcasm appeared on his face, "I just sent the old thief Mingde to prison, and she came in time." ”
"Pass on the concubine in!" Han Xiu hooked the corners of his mouth, and the mockery on his face became even stronger.
If she first met Lan Yunwen, she would indeed be called the title of "beloved concubine". But now, the daughter of a criminal minister who collaborated with the enemy and treason, it would be good to spare her life.
Love Concubine? Scold!
Since the old thief of Mingde went against him everywhere, Lan Yunwen was only worthy of being a plaything.
"Concubine...... I've seen the emperor. After Lan Yunwen knelt down, he hesitated for a long time before choosing such a self-title. If she is still called a people's daughter, this is obviously impossible. But slave maid, concubine, this kind of self-degrading title, she really can't accept it. If you call yourself a concubine, it is a bit of a pedantic.
Thinking about it, there is only one word "concubine".
Anyway, the concubine is indeed the emperor's concubine, and it is not wrong for her to say so.
"Concubine, hurry up and be exempt! I don't know what the important thing is for Concubine Ai to come here at this moment? Han Xiuxu raised his right hand, and a mocking look flashed in his eyes.
In fact, Lan Yunwen came to ask to see him at this moment, he thought about it with his fingers, and he also knew her intention.
"Concubine, concubine wants to plead with the emperor, please ask the emperor to forgive a few more days. The concubine believes that her grandfather will never be a sinner who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country. Lan Yunwen raised her head and looked at Han Xiu with a pleading expression.
"Oh? How many days does the concubine want me to forgive? Han Xiu was very cooperative and asked with a kind expression.
"Three days, is that okay?" Lan Yunwen thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
As long as you have three days, it should be enough. Even if Shi Jiao'e refuses to help, she can contact her grandfather's students and find a way to clear her grandfather's guilt.
"Since Concubine Ai has interceded, what can't she do! You said three days, so wait another three days! I will also send someone to investigate again, so as not to burden Mr. Mingde with injustice. Han Xiu said righteous words, but there was an imperceptible cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Your Majesty! Lan Yunwen didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she almost cried with joy, and immediately thanked Han Xiu.
"I'm so magnanimous, don't I have anything to show for my concubine?" Han Xiu said as he walked down, grabbed Lan Yunwen's shoulder, pulled her up, and then picked her chin.
"Emperor, Your Majesty......" Lan Yunwen closed her eyes and clenched her hands into fists, she used all her strength to resist the urge to push Han Xiu away.
"What? If the concubine resists and rejects me, does she not want me to be given a few days? Han Xiu's eyes showed a mocking smile. A mocking smile appeared. A mocking smile appeared.
