The deserted temple outside the city was silent, like an ancient ruin that had disappeared, and it was filled with a deep and empty atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ornate carriage sped through the woods, and the sound of wheels and horses' hooves mingled into a restless sound, inadvertently disrupting the silence of the night. Xiao Yu kept driving the car, and he was also worried. Wang Zhengjun and Yazhu, who were sitting in the car, looked at each other, each with uneasiness and worry, and only wished that the carriage would go faster, faster.

Chang'an City in the neon lights is prosperous.

In the quiet of the night, there was a flashy soft light, and the noise of one after another faintly came. Elegant small building, the lights are misty.

Zhiran, who was tied to the head of the bed, slowly opened her eyes, only to hear the door "squeak", and an old woman walked in. Zhiran was a little flustered, struggling desperately, but she couldn't say a word because she stuffed a coarse cloth in her mouth. The vague tone of "squeak" amused the old woman, and Lao Wen approached with a knife and smiled: "Are you afraid?" ”

The blade flashes, and the light is sharp. Zhi Ran nodded in fear, her shrunken body unconsciously moving back, lest the old woman really attack her.

"What are you doing?" An ordinary woman came in, her face was quite peaceful, and she said softly, "The above has ordered, but she is just locked up, and she has not said what to do with her." You are not allowed to come nonsense, lest you provoke the blame from above! ”

"I know, I'm just scaring this little girl!" The old woman put away the knife and smiled evilly.

……

The imperial city at night is always shrouded in lights, brilliant and bright, ancient and solemn. The sudden rain was a little rapid, and in an instant it moistened the whole palace, and the rain trickled down the eaves like a pearl of jade.

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, hurried to the Yilan Hall of Weiyang Palace along the corridor, and the sudden rain also drenched his hair, and his eyes were bright and suppressed the anger that was about to erupt. He hurriedly strode into the hall, alarming Zhang Jieyu, who was sitting at the table looking at the painting. Zhang Jieyu saw that he was in a hurry, and laughed softly: "Qin'er, you came just in time!" Sit down! ”

Zhang Jieyu spread out the portrait with a smile on her face, "Look, this is the portrait that the mother concubine asked Lord Lifu to send, all of them are impeccable beauties." In particular, the daughters of Lord Sizhi and Lord Changshi are particularly outstanding, which one do you like? ”

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, looked calm, ignored it, and asked directly: "Is the person who captured Zhiran the concubine?" ”

Zhang Jieyu waved her hand to let Jinyun put away the portrait and step aside, and said with some annoyance: "Are you looking for your mother concubine in such a hurry just to ask the teacher for guilt?" ”

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, had a straight face, and just said bluntly: "The mother concubine only needs to answer the son's minister's yes or no?" ”

"It's not!" Zhang Jieyu raised her eyes and said angrily, "For the sake of a woman, do you question your mother like this?" ”

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, ignored it, but continued: "What about Zhou Wanquan, why is he just outside the palace?" Why did he just appear when Zhiran had an accident? Erchen knew that without the instructions of his mother, Zhou Wanquan would not leave the palace easily. ”

Although Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, said in a low voice, he paused and said, "Erchen hopes that the concubine will tell the truth. ”

"Qin'er ......" Zhang Jieyu's body was shocked, and she wanted to explain something, but she didn't know how to speak.

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, had a calm face at this time, and said coldly: "Erchen asks again, is it the mother concubine?" ”

"What if it's the mother's doing?" Zhang Jieyu raised her face as if nothing happened.

"Why did the concubine do this?" Liu Qinjunlang, the king of Huaiyang, had doubts written on his face, and asked again in a daze, "Just because she is the person that Erchen likes?" ”

"Because she is the person of the crown princess." Zhang Jieyu replied calmly, and then continued: "If you marry her, is it hard to guarantee that she will not help her sister Wang Zhengjun to deal with you in the future?" Do you know that some time ago, your father almost listened to the words of your mother and wanted to abolish the crown prince, if it weren't for the help of the princess Xiao and let him unite the courtiers to say good things for the prince in front of your father, how would the mother fall short? ”

"The mother concubine is really worried!" Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, shook his head, his quiet face was full of wry smiles, "She is just an innocent and simple yellow-haired girl with no city, how did she become the person that the mother concubine tried so hard to guard against?" Didn't the concubine think it was ridiculous to go to such great lengths to deal with a little girl? ”

"Ridiculous?" Zhang Jieyu looked at him calmly, and said calmly and indifferently, "The mother concubine didn't feel ridiculous. The Mother only knows that in order to help you ascend to the throne, she will have to get rid of anyone who stands in the way of your future, whether she is or not. The mother concubine would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. The mother concubine did this all for your own good, Qin'er, why don't you understand the hard work of the mother concubine? ”

"How could the retainer not understand? The mother concubine wants the mother of the world, and what she wants is noble honor and power. So ......" Speaking of this, Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, was a little excited, and said coldly, "So, the mother concubine can not care about the feelings of the sons, can not care whether the sons are willing, as long as she can get the power that the mother wants, and can even exchange the happiness of the sons, right?" ”

Zhang Jieyu's face changed suddenly in anger, and she scolded loudly: "Presumptuous! Is this the way you talk to your mother?"

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, put away his anger and lowered his voice slightly, as if he was pleading: "If the mother concubine really loves her son, please let the mother concubine let Zhiran go!" Don't let Erchen feel so heartbroken, okay? ”

"What if the concubine refuses to let go?" Zhang Jieyu's face was firm, but also heartache. Her most beloved son, the one she worked so hard to protect, is working against her for another woman.

"Then the minister went out of the palace to save people! Zhiran is here, Erchen is here! Zhiran is dead, Erchen is dead! Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, spoke in a stiff tone, and his eyes were cold when he was about to leave.

"Come back!" Zhang Jieyu angrily stopped Liu Qin, and when she saw him turn around and stop, she held back her anger and said slowly, "The concubine can promise to let Wei Zhiran go!" ”

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, then showed an excited smile, turned his head and asked anxiously, "What the mother concubine said is true?" ”

Zhang Jieyu nodded helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "But you have to promise the mother concubine one thing!" ”

Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, had palpitations, and asked inquiringly: "What did the concubine say?" ”

Zhang Jieyu said with a calm face: "You must become the prince according to the arrangement of the mother's concubine!" ”

"This ......" Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, had a slightly gentle face, as if he was wandering.

"Embarrassed?" Zhang Jieyu asked rhetorically.

"The son promised the mother!" Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, thought for a long time and finally agreed, and then hesitated and said, "It's just that the mother concubine must also promise her son that she will not embarrass Zhiran in the future, and she will not be hurt in the slightest!" ”

"Good! The mother assures you! Zhang Jieyu was a little helpless and a little angry, "You, open your mouth and close your mouth is Zhiran, this girl, it can be seen when you miss your mother so much?" ”

Liu Qin seemed ashamed, bowed his head and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Jieyu joked: "Okay, I know that your mind is not here now!" Hurry up and find Zhiran's girl! It's too late, and the mother doesn't dare to guarantee that she won't be eaten by some jackals, tigers and leopards! ”

"Thank you, Princess! Sons and daughters retire! Liu Qin, the king of Huaiyang, was a little overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to run away.

"Look at it, look at it, what has become of Qin'er for Wei Zhiran's girl now, she doesn't know how to salute when she comes, and she doesn't know how to salute when she leaves, but she forgot all the rules for her." Zhang Jieyu leaned on the couch with a side face as if she was sad, and sighed again, "For the emperor, the most taboo tenderness, in the future, how can the palace manage him?" ”

Jin Yun stepped forward to massage Zhang Jieyu's forehead, and said respectfully: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the King of Huaiyang is just too worried about Miss Zhiran. His Royal Highness has always been filial, and he didn't mean to make Niangniang angry. What's more, hasn't His Royal Highness the King of Huaiyang already promised his mother? So you don't have to worry too much! ”

"Filial piety? If he is really filial, will he fight against this palace like this for a woman? Zhang Jieyu shook her head, sighed and said, "That's it, he has grown up, and the palace can't take care of it, let him go with everything!" Isn't everything this palace does for him? ”
