From Yecheng to the capital, the road is not far.

Someone once said that if one day Great Qin and the barbarians in the Western Regions fought each other, Yecheng would be the last barrier to protect the capital.

The terrain of Yecheng is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Emperor Jianguang knew the importance of Yecheng to Great Qin better than anyone else, so he didn't allow other courtiers to interfere in anything in Yecheng, and even the governor of Yecheng was personally designated by him.

If he is not a person trusted by Emperor Jianguang, it is impossible to sit in the position of Yecheng Mansion Yin.

It's just that now Yecheng suddenly wants to change the mansion Yin, and this person is still Concubine An's younger brother.

I have to say that Concubine An does have the means, otherwise how could she gain the emperor's trust?

Every emperor walks from the prince to the emperor's seat, this road must be bloody and bloody, and corpses are everywhere. Moreover, if you don't have a plan, you can't stand in the end.

After all, that seat was made up of countless white bones.

Xia Ruan frowned, the emperor is now willing to give the position of Yecheng Mansion Yin to Concubine An's younger brother, is he testing the An family?

She put the cinnabar matter on the other side, and then whispered to An Guifei: "An Guifei Niangniang, you have a great price to do this. ”

If the emperor found out that An Guifei was helping her and Xiao Jiu in private, then An Guifei would definitely be sent to the cold palace in the future, and now An Guifei is infinitely beautiful, and there is no need to risk this matter. Moreover, Cinnabar is a person who is not easy to deal with, and he has a lot of courtiers' handles. He found out a few days later that An Yingrong could not be used by him, so according to Cinnabar's temperament. It is not surprising that An Yingrong will be killed.

The death of the eldest uncle is a good example.

Concubine An insisted on letting her go to Xia Qinghe's place to find out the news, but the price was too terrible.

Xia Ruan only heard about Xia Qinghe from outsiders, but he didn't see that scene with his own eyes. So she didn't know how uneasy and shocked Concubine An was when she saw that scene with her own eyes.

The child who fought for several hours to give birth was actually a dead baby with a black body. The child smelled of foul smell from Wen Po's hand, like carrion that had been left for many days.

Tell Concubine An Guifei privately that this child should have died in Ning Guiren's womb a long time ago. It's just that he doesn't know why a stillborn child can stay in the mother's body for so long. Why, no imperial doctor found Ning Guiren's abnormality.

Concubine An had nightmares every night during those days. She was afraid that her belly would become like that. The death is not clear. And she had no way of knowing when the child would leave her.

Therefore, even if Ning Guiren is really crazy, she must know who that person is. What kind of poison was planted.

Think of these. Concubine An's brows furrowed. The right hand trembled slightly and finally landed on the lower abdomen: "Bengong knows that if you do this, either Bengong and the An family will die together, or Bengong's younger brother will die." But Hongu must gamble. The palace has never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this time, compared to ghosts and gods, this palace does not believe in the emperor. ”

Compared to the non-existent ghosts and gods, she was even more reluctant to believe the words from the emperor's mouth.

The so-called oath is often a gaffe.

That person, obviously her husband and her pillow person, is also the person she doesn't want to believe the most.

An Guifei thought that when she was old and about to go west, the person beside her would definitely not be the emperor.

That person, how could he look like an old woman who was dying and had no appearance.

"This palace has said that all wealth has a price." Concubine An raised her head and looked at Xia Ruan seriously, "So Mrs. Chang'an Hou, the younger brother of this palace also knows about this matter, he, like this palace, will protect the stability of the An family even if he dies." If there are no heirs in this palace, this seemingly beautiful day will not last long. Once the palace falls out of favor, the An family will bury the palace. Rather than waiting for that day to come, it is better to let Bengong gamble, Bengong bet that Ning Guiren is not crazy, Bengong bets that she knows everything. ”

An Guifei was so excited that her whole person tensed, and it seemed that she would stand up and yell at Xia Ruan in the next moment.

She didn't have a choice.

From the day she entered the palace, she had no choice.

It was she who chose to sacrifice for her family, so she couldn't escape at this time.

An Guifei knew this, and An Yingrong also knew it.

An Guifei still remembers that her younger brother choked up at that time, knelt on the other side of the screen and said: "An Guifei Niangniang, the minister is the same as you, and the minister also hopes that everyone in the An family can live happily." Even if it costs the minister's life, the minister will not hesitate to do it. ”

On the other side of the screen, Concubine An Guifei cried into tears.

Whether it is her high up, or her younger brother who now relies on her to sit in Yecheng Mansion Yin, the responsibility on them is too heavy, and many things are out of their control.

An Guifei took a deep breath and clenched her hands tightly.

She didn't want to struggle anymore, because she didn't want what she had left to be completely destroyed.

Xia Ruan looked at Concubine An's expression that gradually calmed down, and said after half a sound: "The courtiers are willing to go to see Ning Guiren." ”

Concubine An Guifei is the person next to the emperor, and she is the emperor's favorite concubine, at this time, Concubine An no longer believes in the emperor, so how can she believe that the emperor will let the Xiao family go one day?

She still can't see through the emperor's thoughts, so what she has to do is to protect her husband's safety.

Concubine An Guifei used all her strength to reply to Xia Ruan: "Thank you, this palace will definitely satisfy you." ”

Xia Ruan made a deal with An Guifei, she helped An Guifei to meet Ning Guiren, and learned from Ning Guiren's mouth why the child became like that. And An Guifei helped her to find out the movements of cinnabar, and the price An Guifei paid may be her brother's life.

Cinnabar will not tolerate any betrayal.

That person never had a little sand in his eyes.

Xia Ruan knew that he might be a little cruel, and if he wanted to know the news from Cinnabar's mouth, he would make Concubine An pay a great price. But she knew better that when she went to see Ning Guiren, she had to be extremely careful.

Since Xia Qinghe dared to shout her name in front of Concubine An and the Queen Mother, I was afraid that she wanted to drag her to hell together.

Xia Qinghe's change. Xia Ruan was surprised, but no matter how much a person changes, the things in his bones will not change.

Xia Qinghe wants to calculate her, as long as she takes good precautions, nothing big will happen.

After lunch, in order to hide people's eyes, Mama Zhu took Xia Ruan to the Imperial Garden.

From the Imperial Garden to the Peach Blossom Dock where Ning Guiren lived, it took less than half an hour.

It's just that this part of the road has to be walked by herself.

Xia Ruan gathered his cloak and felt that his body was getting more and more tired.

She has been weak since she was a child. Don't overwork.

She once stayed up all night to check her accounts. In the end, she fainted, and her mother cried in fright.

Since then, whenever the decoction sent by Du Ruo is not delicious, she will not say anything.

After all. Her body is too weak. It must be well maintained.

Today's lunch is full of dishes. It's delicious, but she doesn't have an appetite for it.

The White Horse Temple is a big temple, and all the Zhuangzi at the foot of the White Horse Temple Mountain are in her hands. The soldiers brought back from the Western Regions by the Song family's junior general. All of them disguised themselves as farmers and worked on her farm.

During the day, they are no different from ordinary country farmers, but late at night, they will find a place to practice.

Although this capital is large, there are not many places where soldiers can be hidden. Although there are many pilgrims in the White Horse Temple, and there are many dignitaries, but the most dangerous place is also the safest place, and no one would have thought that the farmers in the Zhuangzi under the White Horse Temple Mountain would be brave and good soldiers.

Xia Ruan rubbed his eyebrows, and he didn't know if Cinnabar had found out about this.

After all, when she met Cinnabar at the White Horse Temple, she felt vaguely uneasy.

Is this person a businessman or someone else? If he is a businessman, why is he so ambitious?

Xia Ruan's footsteps stopped, she was a little dazed and wanted to find Taohuawu, but she couldn't help but look towards a dark place.

In front of her was a courtyard overgrown with weeds and desolate.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that this place was actually in this splendid palace.

Even the main hall door is painted with gold dust, but there is such a desolate place.

Xia Ruan thought for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

Could this be Peach Blossom Dock? "Who are you? Why are you here? Before Xia Ruan could get closer, he heard a deep and shrill voice, "Do you know what this place is?" ”

Xia Ruan turned around and saw an old woman with a face full of iron.

She smiled apologetically, and then said, "I've seen Mama, this palace is too big, I accidentally got lost, where is this place?" ”

Her appearance is too innocent, and she is innocent when she lies, no one would think that such a woman will skillfully tell lies without blinking an eye.

The old lady did not answer Xia Ruan's words, but looked at Xia Ruan for a while.

The woman in front of her was combing her hair in a bun that only a woman could comb, obviously she was already married, and the old lady sneered: "Let's go, this is not the place you should come." ”

"Why?" Although Xia Ruan was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still pretended to be curious, "I think it's very quiet here." ”

The old lady looked at Xia Ruan's eyes as if she was looking at a monster.

In such a depressed place, some people actually say quiet.

The old lady followed Xia Ruan's eyes and looked at the small courtyard, and then showed a dry smile, it was indeed very quiet here.

Except for her, an old thing that is about to go to the ground, no one wants to come over anymore, can it not be quiet?

"Even if it's quiet, no outsiders are allowed here." The old lady stood up straight, with a hideous look on her emaciated cheeks, "If you don't leave, don't blame the old slave for being polite." ”

Xia Ruan touched her nose, she never thought that she would be disadvantaged.

She smiled and bowed respectfully again before slowly leaving.

Concubine An asked her to come here today, just to familiarize her with the terrain, whether she could see Xia Qinghe or not was secondary.

All she had to do was remember the place.

After Xia Ruan left, the old lady showed a bitter smile and looked at the dilapidated courtyard behind her: "Princess, it's been so many years, why do people still want to come and dirty this place without understanding?" Princess, don't worry, even if the old slave dies, he will keep this place. (To be continued.)
