Early the next morning, when Minglang opened his eyes, he saw that he was wearing a thick coat, and Yanran on the couch was no longer there. Hurriedly went out, and saw Yanran wearing the clothes of a guard and standing guard in the corner of the camp.

Minglang didn't like her working so hard, but she couldn't help it.

After breakfast, Shi Wenyuan sent someone to spread the word: the hunt is canceled, and he will return to the palace immediately.

Everything was as Yan Ran expected.

Minglang still pretended to be injured, and was helped into the carriage by Rong and Li. Yan Ran and another slightly injured guard took the carriage of Rong and Li Liangyuan, and they did not stop all the way, and after a day and a night, they returned to the Huangzhou Palace.

Shi Wenyuan did not enter the palace, and parted ways with Minglang in front of the palace gate, and left with more than a dozen of his own personal guards.

Ming Yan heard that his son was injured in an attack on the hunting ground, and he had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and when he saw that Minglang's arm was bloodstained and his face was pale, he was immediately anxious and afraid, so he hurriedly asked someone to carry the soft couch and carried the prince into Zhongcui Palace. I had to check the injury in person, and I had to pass it on to the doctor. Minglang said weakly: "Queen Mother, don't panic first, I have something to say." ”

Ming Yan's eyes were red and he said: "If you have anything to say, wait until you are better, lie down and don't move!" Shi Wenyuan, he didn't even take a good look at you! ”

Minglang said, "You will drive away the idlers." By the way, he can't go. He took Yanran's hand.

Although Ming Yan also saw a little guard who had been following the prince into the Zhongcui Palace, he didn't pay attention to it for a while because he was flustered, and then he raised his eyes to take a closer look, was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved away.

Minglang and Yanran knelt down together. Minglang pulled down the strip of cloth on his hand, took off his helmet and revealed his long hair.

Ming Yan's face sank suddenly. "You're acting? Who is she? ”

"Queen Mother, she is the Yanran girl I told you. If it weren't for her this time, I would have been killed. ”

Ming Yan turned his eyes, looked at Yan Ran carefully, and saw that her eyebrows were delicate and smart, and her expression was dignified and calm, she was indeed not like an ordinary woman.

"What's your name? Where did it come from? ”

Yanran replied: "Queen Mother, my name is Ji Yanran, and I am from Baling Divine Palace Mountain. ”

"Jingu Mountain...... Aren't you from the palace? ”

As a queen, she has long been accustomed to seeing the world with a pair of eyes, and her insight is not comparable to ordinary people, Yanran didn't want to hide it from her, so she briefly told her life experience, and naturally hid the truth of her bloodline.

Ming Yan was silent for a long time after hearing this, nodded and said, "At a young age, I have suffered a lot, and it is difficult for you." Then he turned to Minglang: "Why did you bring her back?" ”

Minglang said: "Queen Mother, on the way back last year, I was chased and killed several times, and I suspected that Shi Wenyuan did it at that time. A few days ago, Miss Yanran happened to meet Shi Wenyuan training warriors in Luofengpo, and planned to kill, so she was worried that it was me, and rushed to the palace to inform me...... "He told Shi Wenyuan that he wanted to kill him in the hunting ground of Luoding Mountain, and blamed the bandits of Baling Mountain.

Ming Yan's face was extremely ugly, he didn't say a word, and was silent for a long time. It wasn't until Minglang called her softly that she came back to her senses.

"I've been trying to deceive myself, thinking that the people who hunted you down last year were just some rogues who were dissatisfied with the court. Unexpectedly, he really couldn't wait. ”

Yan Ran saw that her expression did not hear the anger that the courtiers should have after the rebellion, but a kind of sadness and helplessness that she had known for a long time. I can't help but feel a little weird.

"I've been wrestling with him for so many years, and finally he can't help it. Son, since you have taken this step, you will definitely be in danger in the future, and my mother may not have much to help you. ”

Minglang raised his head: "Mother, my son is older, and he should take all the responsibilities." I left Miss Yanran because we lacked reliable people around us, and she was amazingly resourceful and able to make drugs, and it was a blessing for my son to have her help. ”

"But all this can only be known to the three of us. Please think of a way for her to stay in my palace. He continued.

Ming Yan sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will make an excuse at will, just say that the original maids of the Imperial Palace did not serve you thoughtfully, and replace them all, so that Miss Yanran can blend in with the newcomers and stay in the Zhongcui Palace justifiably." ”

She rubbed her temples and said in a sad voice: "Son, you have finally started to stand up like a man, I don't know whether to be happy or sad...... No matter what you do, my only request is to keep your Xuanyuan clan's country! ”

Minglang solemnly agreed, kowtowed heavily, and Yanran also leaned down to salute this fragile and strong woman.

On the second day, the queen was furious in the Zhongcui Palace, blaming the prince for not using any of the maids, and the chief of the inner chamber was so frightened that he immediately replaced the four maids in the original room and transferred four more maids. The queen herself gave the prince a maid, and the matter subsided.

The queen took care of the inner chamber again, and the prince was attacked and injured, and was frightened, and he was not allowed to call the two good ladies to disturb him in the near future.

Since then, Yanran has settled in Zhongcui Palace as a maid given by the queen. The other four maids didn't know each other because they were novices, so naturally no one doubted her origin.

Minglang was so happy that he couldn't do anything, and after jumping around the house a few times, he showed Yan Ran the love things in his room one by one, which were nothing more than knives, swords, and daggers, and Yan Ran was not interested. In addition to being frustrated, he pulled Yanran to play chess and play marbles, and Yanran became happy. When she was in Jingu Mountain, she often played with stones and played chess with herself, so she was no stranger to these two things.

Then Lord Wow appeared. After following Minglang into the palace, Minglang specially built a dog house for him in the courtyard of Zhongcui Palace, and arranged a small chamberlain to wait for him. I also take him out for a walk every day. But there's been a lot of going on lately, and I haven't been looking at it for many days. Yanran hasn't seen it since she came here.

The chamberlain named Xiao Linzi led Xiao Wa into the Zhong Cui Palace, and Xiao Wa was tall and strong at this time, with abundant body hair, wide face and wide nose, and he really looked like a lion at first glance. Seeing Yanran, she was so happy that she pounced on her with a "wow", Minglang didn't stop it, Yanran couldn't resist it, and immediately fell to the ground. Xiao Wow has to inch in, and when he goes up, he wants to kiss his tongue to express his strong feelings of longing. Yan Ran had already taken precautions, pulled the tablecloth on the table next to her, covered her face, and licked the silk wisps of her mouthful.

But it doesn't care, its sister is so shy! In his excitement, one tail wagged as if it was about to break. Yanran held its huge head and rubbed its head incessantly.

In the next two days, Yanran accompanied Minglang to live in a simple house, "recuperate" in the palace, and tease Xiao Wow in the evening. She was worried that Shi Wenyuan would make a move, so Minglang secretly ordered Feng Zhan to send people to monitor Shi Wenyuan's secret stronghold in Luofengpo, and report back if there was any change.

Calculating the time, Brother Tairan should have arrived in Yuezhao Country long ago, and I don't know what kind of trouble he will encounter. Once she relaxes, the boundless thoughts will hold her tightly, and it is inconvenient to reveal it in front of Ming. I can only find a piece of silk and quietly draw a small cross on it with a pen every day to express my lovesickness. She felt a bit like a resentful woman.

Three days later, taking advantage of the bright nap, Yanran easily got out and came to the medicine garden in the imperial garden. That night, I entered the palace to call the police to Minglang and passed by the Imperial Garden, and saw that there was a medicine garden there with many medicinal herbs.

Because it was a spring afternoon, everyone was taking a lunch break. The Imperial Garden was silent. Yan Ran found the medicine garden, which was very large and had a lot of precious medicinal materials, which were probably prepared for the people in the palace. I picked up some rare ones and picked some of them, and when I turned around, I heard a figure flashing in front of the small building next to the medicine garden, especially like Shi Wenyuan.

Yanran has excellent eyesight and a good memory, and those who have seen it think they will not admit their mistakes. At this moment, how could he suddenly appear in this corner?
