After a night's work, the white silk has been hung in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Next to the couch, Situ Zhen knelt quietly on the ground, looking at the pale face. The bits and pieces of the past came to mind, and today I still heard my mother talking and laughing, but at this moment, she was lying here cold.
Isn't all this in a dream? Who will tell him that all this is just a nightmare?
"Mother......" The voice was a little hoarse and a little sad. I don't know when, the wetness in the corners of my eyes fell, and this was the first tear since Situ Zhen remembered.
He had the waist card in his hand, and the man's expression was indescribably weird. He was in tears, but his eyes were frosty.
In the end, it was he who caused his mother, obviously everything had just seen hope, and his mother was still urging him to start a family and start a business in the last second, but such a sudden separation was like a pour of cold water pouring Situ Zhen's body and mind.
Is even his only relative going to be taken away now? It's really a no-compromise measure......
There was a cry outside the house, and everyone in the house knelt outside. The old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very kind on weekdays, and treats everyone as warm as a relative, and her departure casts a shadow of sorrow on the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
The man next to the couch didn't know how long he had been sitting, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Mother, what you say, the child remembers."
Situ Zhen took a slow breath, then stood up and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt together. The woman on the couch seemed to be just asleep, looking at this face quietly, Situ Zhen seemed to see the woman who stretched out her hand to herself under the willow tree many years ago, looking at herself with gentle eyes.
The hand in his sleeve slowly clenched, and Situ Zhen closed his eyes, as if he wanted to grasp something.
When he opened his eyes again, there was only a cold and resolute look in the man's eyes, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, the people outside the house suddenly stopped their voices, because they had never seen such a prime minister, and the smell of killing was just a glance, which made people shudder.
In the room on the other side, several imperial doctors surrounded the couch, all with solemn faces.
"Prime Minister, Miss Lan is too seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't survive tonight!"
Situ Zhen frowned tightly and looked at the innocent implicated woman on the couch. For the sake of her mother, this girl actually did this. Looking at the bloodstained clothes, it was as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly tugging at his heart, and he couldn't breathe.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must save her! Can't let her die, absolutely not! ”
"What Weichen and the others can do has been done, although Miss Lan's wound has been bandaged, but she has lost too much blood and is too weak, and now she can only use medicine to hang her breath, whether she can survive or not can only depend on Miss Lan's creation."
"What else is needed? Ben-sama is going to pick it up right away! ”
"This ......" Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and the news of the attack on the Prime Minister's Mansion had already reached the palace, saying that Miss Lan, who was a guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was seriously injured, but no one knew that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was also killed by the assassin. Situ Zhen only revealed to the public that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was frightened and died of a recurrence of an old disease.
If the truth of the facts is spread, I am afraid that it will set off even more violent waves.
"The thousand-year-old ginseng has been used, and the adults still ask someone to guard Miss Lan well tonight, maybe a miracle will appear."
Everyone retreated, Situ Zhen came to the couch, looking at the woman who was breathing weakly, her mood was indescribable.
If it weren't for herself, how could this girl be involved in trouble for no reason. Not only did he fail to protect his mother, but he also implicated innocent people.
"Girl, you must wake up, otherwise Lan Yun will definitely kill me when she comes back."
At this moment, the Lotus Emperor in the palace listened to the imperial doctor come back to report.
"Any medicinal herbs that are needed, they must be sent from the palace, they must be the best!"
"Wechen and the others do their best."
How could General Lan's daughter be a guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as far as he knew, Lan Yun and Situ Zhen had never gotten along. He looked at the guards on the side at the moment, the prime minister's mansion was attacked, and the prime minister was the right-hand man of the court, and he had ordered the guards in the palace to increase the garrison.
"Can someone notify General Lan?"
"Back to Your Majesty, General Lan is already on his way to Kyoto."
"Who did it, can you find out?" Actually dared to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, but for some reason, the Lotus Emperor felt that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not die of illness, but was afraid that it was also related to this assassin.
"The subordinates did not track it down."
The Lotus Emperor made a gesture, and the guards immediately retreated.
Situ Zhen didn't go to the morning court for a few days, I don't know if it has anything to do with this attack? The Lotus Emperor pondered for a moment, "Come on, set up the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”
Inside the house, Situ Zhen stayed by Lan Ling's side, and the imperial doctor explained that what he could do now was to stimulate Lan Ling with words, maybe he could make her wake up from her sleep.
"Girl, aren't you looking for Lan Yun? I have ordered someone to find his whereabouts, and if you don't wake up, how can you find him? ”
"Lord Ben doesn't want to owe the Lan family this blood debt, you have to wake up!"
"I told you not to meddle in your affairs at the beginning, why did you go to the flower building to find me? Don't you know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are? Why don't you speak? Get up and hit me, Lord Ben will definitely stand and not fight back! ”
At this moment, a butler dressed in white came in from outside.
"My lord, a distinguished guest has arrived." This expression and voice made Situ Zhen guess something immediately.
"Guard her for me, and report any movement immediately."
"Yes." The old butler looked at the departing back and sighed deeply. What a good girl, the housekeeper felt a little remorseful in his heart, if he hadn't begged Lan Ling to obey the old lady's intentions, maybe there would not be today's tragedy.
"Miss Lan, I'm sorry for you, you must wake up! Otherwise, the old lady will be unstable if she knows about it. ”
In the garden, the Lotus Emperor, who was privately visited by Weifu, was guarded by layers of guards.
You must know that now that the Lotus Emperor is out of the palace, he is taking a big risk.
Situ Zhen greeted him, and immediately opened his clothes and was about to kneel, but the Lotus Emperor immediately stretched out his hand to support him, "Prime Minister doesn't need to be polite!" I've heard about it, and the prime minister mourns. ”
"Why does Your Majesty want to leave the palace in person, Weichen doesn't dare to be it."
"I respect the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion a lot, and I just want to come and see her one last time. It's the prime minister, is he in better shape? "You must know that Situ Zhen said that he had been ill for a few days and did not go to the early court, and the people sent by the Lotus Emperor to visit him had never seen him.
"Your Majesty is wrong to love, Weichen is your mother on behalf of Your Majesty. There are many events in the Weichen Mansion, and I ask Your Majesty to be tolerant for a few days. ”
"There is no need to worry about the affairs of the last dynasty, the prime minister will handle the old lady's funeral affairs well. As for Miss Lan, don't worry, Prime Minister can rest assured, I will appease General Lan well. "Emperor Lian only feels that today's Situ Zhen has changed a little, his body has lost the casual air of his usual life, and his gestures are completely vigilant and rigorous, it seems that the death of the old lady has given him a big blow.
Situ Zhen sighed lightly, "Miss Lan, Weichen will personally explain to General Lan." This time it was the negligence of the Prime Minister's Mansion that caused Miss Lan to be seriously injured, if she had any three long and two short, Weichen would kill her with General Lan. ”
"Why do you have to say it so seriously, Miss Lan is auspicious, she will definitely be fine."
Situ Zhen raised his eyes, looked at the clear eyes of the Lotus Emperor, and opened his mouth slightly. However, before the words could be spoken, he had already retracted his expression.
There is no need to ask about the waist card, in fact, he knows better than anyone else in his heart.
"Your Majesty."
Situ Zhen's suddenly restrained tone made the Lotus Emperor raise his eyebrows slightly.
"For the next period of time, please forgive your majesty."
This...... His words were full of deep meaning, but the Lotus Emperor looked at the man in front of him and clearly felt that he was hinting at something. Thinking back to Situ Zhen's strange behavior during this time, Emperor Lian became more and more sure that something must have happened to him that he didn't know, and he was afraid that it had something to do with Emperor Taishang.
"I understand, I forgive you for your innocence!"
The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes were full of tacit understanding that others could not see.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, General Lan has arrived in the mansion and is now by Miss Lan's side."
Situ Zhen's eyes flashed, and he immediately saluted the Lotus Emperor. "Your Majesty, Wechen ......"
"Needless to say, I'm going with you!"
The dusty old general couldn't believe his eyes, and his daughter, who was still alive before, was lying on the couch so miserably at the moment.
She said that she was going to find Yun'er, but she didn't know that such a thing happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"What the hell...... Who's going to tell General Ben what happened?! The old general's voice full of internal strength was full of anger, which frightened everyone outside and did not dare to approach, but he was afraid that in the next second, he would smash the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
"General Blue."
Situ Zhen's voice came from behind him, and General Lan turned around, and naturally saw the Lotus Emperor following closely behind. But where can he care about saluting, "Can the prime minister give General Ben an explanation?!" ”
Situ Zhen's face was full of shame, and the old housekeeper on the side suddenly knelt down, "The general is angry, the general killed the little one, it was the little Miss Lan who stayed to accompany the old lady." My old lady likes Miss Lan very much, and the little one thinks that as long as Miss Lan stays in the house for a few more days, the old lady's illness will be cured, who knows...... It's the little one that hurt Miss Lan! ”
The old lady of the Prime Minister's House? General Lan tried to calm himself down, he understood Lan Ling's temperament, if she didn't want to, it would be useless for anyone to force it. That girl stayed on her own volition.
"The matter has come to this, Situ Zhen does not dare to beg General Lan for forgiveness. The Prime Minister's Mansion must do its best to save Miss Lan, but afterwards it will be dealt with by General Lan! ”
General Lan took a deep breath, his tone full of pain. "The imperial doctor said that even if Ling'er can wake up, I'm afraid that she will only be able to spend the next life on the couch."
That sword wounded Lan Ling's spine, which was a fatal injury for those who practiced martial arts.
"General Lan seems to be, if this is the case, Situ Zhen is willing to take care of Miss Lan for the rest of her life."
The Lotus Emperor behind him was full of shock, "Does the prime minister know what he's talking about?" As a man, if you don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid that others will misunderstand.
Situ Zhen's expression was extremely serious, "Situ Zhen, I am willing to marry Miss Lan as my wife, as long as she is willing." ”
