095 Life and death
The carriage went out of the city gate in the south smoothly, and Ryan reached behind with her hand from time to time, feeling that Ning Tianci was still asleep, she secretly sighed in her heart.
As soon as he got out of the city, Ryan felt a little remorseful for his impulsiveness, why did he suddenly tie up this little guy? If the child wakes up after a while, he will definitely cry and make trouble. This child is small but articulate, but when the time comes, how will she explain this qiΔ to her daughter? What would the daughter think of her as a mother?
And he was in a hurry, along the way, their own itinerary is uncertain, and they have to take care of one more child, isn't this purely causing trouble to themselves?
Besides, she has been fighting with Shen Qianran frequently these days, and she has calculated it clearly every time, but which time did she not lose in the end? Why is she so stupid to listen to Concubine Zhen's instigation at this juncture, didn't she obviously agree to the eldest daughter to break off the relationship with the Shen family?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and Ryan couldn't help but slap himself hard, which scared Qiushuang and Zhong Yanan a lot.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Yanan hurriedly raised his head from Ryan's arms, looked at Ryan with wide eyes open, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, his mother didn't have the madness of the previous time again!
"A mosquito has bitten me in the face!" Ryan stroked his face awkwardly, smiled stiffly, and hugged his puzzled daughter into his arms, "Lean!" β
"Oh!" Zhong Yanan no longer suspected it, and buried his head in Ryan's arms again.
Qiushuang also smiled back, leaned on the carriage, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Ryan was pulled out of his strength, and stroked his forehead dejectedly, and couldn't help but worry in his heart. This is already difficult to ride a tiger, Shui Yu must have found out that Ning Tianci is missing at this time, it is impossible for her to send this little guy back to the Shen family now?
Moreover, although this little guy is small, he is still quite organized to see that he speaks, even if he is sent back, he will tell Shen Qianran what happened clearly.
Zhong Yanan has been leaning on her mother's arms, a little sleepy in the shaking of the car, until the car arrived ten miles outside the city, the road was a little uneven, and she woke up after a few bumps, and suddenly felt that the road was surprisingly quiet, she felt that something was wrong, so she lifted the curtain and took a look, and then shouted in a fuss, "Mother, let's not go to the eldest sister's house!" β
"Your eldest sister is in the annex of Tongchengguan, let's go there to meet her!" Ryan didn't have the heart to tell his daughter so much, and he was worried that Zhong Yanan would be afraid, so he lied casually.
After the carriage walked for another half an hour, it suddenly rushed forward slightly, and then slowly stopped, Ryan's heart tightened, his eyes were full of shock, and he shouted urgently, "Why did you stop?" What happened? β
The coachman jumped out of the car and shouted, "It's okay, it's okay, there's a river in front of me, I'll go get some water, and the horses and people on the road will drink it in a while!" β
Qiushuang listened reasonably, so she took out two kettles from her baggage, and said with a smile, "This road will not reach a small town until night, and I am in a bit of a hurry to go out, and I didn't bring some fresh fruits for Mrs. and Miss to drink, so the slave maid went to fetch some water in case of emergency!" β
"Go ahead!" Ryan secretly sighed, feeling like he was a frightened bird.
Less than half a cup of tea, Qiushuang and the coachman each came back with water.
Qiushuang got into the carriage and smiled, "Madam, I didn't expect that there was spring water here, and the slave maid just took a sip, which is much cooler than the water in the well, it's so sweet!" β
The coachman outside fed the water to the horses and replied with a smile, "We walk on the road all year round, and we have long figured out where there is water and where we can rest." Madame and Miss can rest assured that they will be able to get you there safely all the way! β
Qiushuang saw that Ryan and Zhong Yanan were next to each other head-to-head, and didn't pay attention to her. She expected that the princess had always been very picky about food and drink, and she thought that the water was dirty. He put away the kettle, poked his head out and asked, "Master, can you go?" β
The coachman tied the slipknot, jumped into the carriage, and replied in a loud voice, "Let's go, ladies and ladies, sit tight!" β
The carriage went away, behind the car, a small head poked out of the grass, the dust blew over, the little guy couldn't help but sneeze, the little fat hand wiped his face, got up, and waved his small fist angrily towards the distant carriage, "The villain hits Ci'er, Ci'er you with a needle, hum...... Bad apple. β
The little guy saw his black little finger again, his little face was wrinkled, and he sighed annoyedly, "Dirty, my mother is going to scold......" muttered to himself for a moment, thinking that the adult had just said that there was a small river, so he walked on his short legs and ran towards the path by the side of the road.
Shen Qianran sat in the carriage, sitting opposite Cangyue, Shui Yue driving the carriage, Shui Mi and the ten Jade Jiao women were all riding horses in strong suits to protect them left and right.
When he arrived at the gate of Dongcheng, Shen Qianran specially scooped out a bag of silver and instructed Shui Yue to reward the guards at the city gate.
Shui Yue rode on horseback, snorted softly, and threw away the silver bag in his hand, "Then, I am my second Miss Shen to buy you a sprinkler to drink, if our Shen Mansion's carriage is late to return to the city tonight, please make it convenient for the generals!" β
A city gate guard quickly caught it, and after a little consideration, there were forty or fifty taels, glanced at the mark of the Shen Mansion on the carriage, and hurriedly handed a look to the brothers, and made a hand gesture, everyone understood, and was so happy that they made a gesture, "Second Miss Shen is easy to go, and the brothers can save it." If it's late at night, remember to shout under the city gate, and the brothers will open the door for the second lady immediately! β
After walking three miles out of the city, there is a new road leading directly to the emperor's eastern suburbs palace, which can accommodate eight horses in parallel, and the road surface is flat.
After the carriage galloped for more than ten miles, Shen Qianran said softly, "Cangyue, we will cross the Broken Dragon Cliff in a while, you intercept it and detonate the explosives." β
Cangyue was startled, and before she could ask why, Shen Qianran had already explained, "If I take my mother out by the way, I also have to worry that the prince will take risks again and kill my father Shijun, and at that time, my mother and I will be buried here." Second, there is a change here, and it can also alarm the Eastern Suburbs Palace and the Imperial Palace at the same time. alarmed the Eastern Suburbs Palace, then it is reasonable for us to go to face the saint, Long Wei will not stop it, and the palace receives the news, the prince will not be able to sit still, and Lan Ting also has an excuse to go out of the palace to answer me. She was worried that this Lou Yi would enter, but it would not be easy to get out, and with Lan Ting's answer, it would be much smoother.
Cang Yue had to admire, and bowed her head again and again, "Second Miss, you think so thoughtfully!" Cangyue admires! β
Admire her? Shen Qianran smiled slightly bitterly, she was a weak woman who was thinking about these things every day, and she didn't stop for a day. Who can understand the taste!
There was a heavy curtain hanging on the carriage, the sun was not transparent, and the moon was profound, but he could see it clearly, he saw that Shen Qianran's face was silent, and he didn't see the bright eyes like stars that day, and saw that the corners of her mouth sank slightly, as if she was sighing, and listened to her solemn voice, "Fang Cai, I have been thinking all the way, Prince Lanling is definitely not a reckless person, and he dares to act in such a hurry at this time, and he is a little suspicious." Second, with the wisdom of the crown prince, it is impossible not to predict that the emperor will suddenly leave the palace, and it is likely that the soldiers of the 300,000 troops in Tongguan have been handed over to Lan Jin. But when the prince was sure that Lan Jin was not in the palace, he still did not lift the palace ban. Ah Ran guessed, it may be that the prince has received a very strong boost. β
Cangyue was from Dongyue, so she naturally didn't understand the situation in Xiling, so she asked, "What help?" β
Shen Qianran pondered for a moment and said, "In the previous situation in Xiling, the Prince, King Ning, and His Royal Highness the Seventh were equally powerful, and Lan Yufeng had always been neutral, it is possible that at this time, Lan Yufeng had already taken refuge in the camp of the prince. Therefore, the crown prince took advantage of the Emperor's Palace to launch a palace change, trapping all the princes and courtiers above the fourth rank in the palace, and he had been delaying the time, and Ah Ran concluded that they were waiting for Lan Yufeng's backup. From Huainan to the capital, it will only take three days to go all the way, and as long as the Huainan army meets the prince's western camp, even if Lan Yujian is alive, this day may change. β
Cang Yue nodded again and again, but he was still a little puzzled, "Didn't the second young lady help Lan Yuyan with this move?" β
Shen Qianran was silent for a long time, as if he was stuck in a memory, and then his voice was sad and indifferent, "He didn't receive the big gift I gave him, how could he die so lightly, and his mother is in his hands, Ah Ran can't take this risk!" β
Cangyue nodded and said cautiously, "Second Miss, don't worry, Cangyue will definitely do it!" β
Shen Qianran smiled lightly with relief, and half-leaned on closing his eyes to recuperate.
After another quarter of an hour, the carriage slowed down significantly, Shen Qianran, who was looking at his eyes, smiled faintly, opened the curtain and looked out the window, although the road was still very flat, the road became extremely narrow, facing a mountain on one side and a cliff on the other.
"Shui Yue, I'll get off the carriage, Shui Mi, you ride a horse to carry me!" Shen Qianran commanded, the carriage slowly stopped, Shui Mi jumped off the horse, stepped forward a few steps, supported Shen Qianran's waist with both hands, and helped Shen Qianran to get out of the carriage carefully.
Picked her up on the horse, jumped on it himself, protected Shen Qianran tightly in his arms, and said softly, "Second Miss, don't worry, don't look down, just look ahead!" β
Shen Qianran glanced sideways at the abyss below him, and smiled faintly, "Let's go!" β
Shui Yue also got out of the carriage, pulling the reins to let the carriage move slowly, if you don't care here, you may even take the car and fall into the abyss.
Halfway up the mountain, Liu Yanzong frowned and watched Shen Qianran and his group drift away.
Liu Yanhe clenched the hilt of his sword, as long as Liu Yanzong gave an order, his sword would be sold immediately. But after waiting for a long time, I saw that Liu Yanzong was only staring ahead, and he didn't give the order for a long time. He was a little anxious, because it would be difficult to contain it when he got out of this narrow passage.
He anxiously looked at Shen Qianran's team, then turned his head to look at Liu Yanzong beside him, and finally couldn't help it, and said quickly, "Second brother, if you don't stop it, they won't be able to stop it after they cross the Broken Dragon Cliff!" β
Liu Yanzong sneered, his eyes stared closely at the figure in Tsing Yi in front of him, seeing that she was not panicked, and said lightly, "That's the second miss of the Shen family, there is no need to stop her, she must have received the news, Ning Changan was kidnapped by Lan Yuyan, this is Qianli to save his mother." "No wonder a weak woman can open such a big medicine shop in Dongyue, she is really bold and colorful.
"Second brother, if they are bringing a letter to the emperor, then ......" Liu Yanhe is a rough man, where does it matter whose daughter it is, I just think in my heart, since this road was ordered by the prince to set up a card, no one should think about it.
Liu Yanzong turned his head to look at his younger brother and sneered, "Can you guarantee annihilation in one fell swoop?" The girls around her are not fuel-efficient lamps, I heard that they are the most elite Dongyue Prince Jade Jiao team, as long as one escapes, the matter here will not be hidden. Now we might as well let them in, we just make sure that they only get in and don't get out. β
"It's a pity, such a flower looks ...... the moon" Li Ge next to him suddenly sighed with a look of pity, "The emperor is really blessed, even if he dies, he can pull two big beauties to accompany him to the funeral!" β
"This is called a knife on the head of the color word!" Liu Yanhe smiled coldly, glanced at Li Ge, his eyes were disdainful, "What's there to pity?" After becoming a success, what beauty do you want? β
Liu Yanhe listened, smirked, pulled the sword back to his waist, and relaxed his nerves.
Li Ge lowered his eyebrows, did not respond, but his mind faintly swept a layer of ripples, recalling that during the Shen family's night banquet, everyone watched Shen Qianran accompany his mother to the center of the banquet pool, and they all turned their eyes on Ning Changan, when the breeze swept away, the green yarn lifted a corner slightly, and it happened that where he was sitting, he was fortunate to see Shen Qianran. That face, not to mention being described as a beauty, is simply a country and a city.
After a pillar of incense, the people and horses crossed the Broken Dragon Cliff, and Shen Qianran, with the support of Shui Yue, got into the carriage, and there was no trace of Cangyue on the carriage at this time.
"Shuiyue, according to the speed of Fang Cai, leave here." At this time, their every move was still under the nose of the crown prince, and the abnormality of her every move would arouse their suspicion.
"Yes, Second Miss!" Shui Yue shook the reins on his hand vigorously and shouted, "Drive!" β
The carriage galloped away, and after a few turns, Shen Qianran ordered the carriage to stop, and rode with Shui Mi again.
"Be careful, everyone, don't startle the horse for a while." Shen Qianran turned his head to look at the Broken Dragon Cliff that was getting farther and farther away, and a sneer flashed on his face.
"Second Miss, don't worry, these horses have all experienced war!" A jade Jiao close to him smiled in the wind and shouted, "Drive!" β
As soon as she reached the halfway point of the mountain, everyone heard an earth-shattering loud noise, Shen Qianran hurriedly covered her ears, felt the slight vibration of the mountain on the right, and heard the sound of some rocks falling, she turned her head and saw that in the light and shadow of the pale yellow and red in the distance, mottled, with shocks, rolling up the sky full of gray smoke, not the ground is accompanied by the fall of boulders.
Shui Yue's face changed slightly, and she muttered to herself in a low voice, "It's really ruthless, if the centaurs detonate when they pass by, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to find the bones!" β
Shen Qianran couldn't hear what Qing Shuiyue was saying, and turned his head, his eyes were cold.
"Ride faster!" After Shen Qianran gave the command, she looked straight ahead, and she felt the wind brought by the galloping horses whirring past both sides of her ears. At this time, the closer she got to the Eastern Suburbs Palace, the closer she was to the biggest enemy in her heart, and she had a sense of unscrupulous pleasure in her heart.
Seeing that the road ahead was getting smoother and smoother, Shen Qianran asked loudly, "How many more steps will there be to the Eastern Suburbs Palace?" β
Shui Mi behind him firmly controlled the reins, and when he heard the words, he leaned over and stumbled in Shen Qianran's ear, "Second Miss, it's not far, it's just a ten-mile road, with this foot, it won't take half an hour to arrive." β
Shen Qianran pondered for a moment and commanded loudly, "In order to prevent Lan Yuyan's dragon guard from suddenly attacking, when you are nearly three miles, you use your internal force to roar in unison, Xiling Palace changes, please return quickly!" β
Jade Jiao responded in unison, "Yes, Second Miss!" β
After turning a mountain, suddenly, the vision suddenly became clear, and everyone saw such a paradise-like beauty in the mountain stream. I was secretly surprised.
Everyone walked along the bluestone avenue, and saw a vermilion gate standing in the center of the wall in the distance. Shen Qianran softly instructed everyone to be careful, and everyone dismounted and led the horses forward.
As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of the Emperor's Palace, a Son of Heaven in purple armor stepped forward and said coldly, "Bold, dare to trespass into the Palace of the Son of Heaven!" β
Shen Qianran saw that the general's sword was not sold, and was busy with the support of Shui Yue, took a step forward, and said, "Shen Qianran, the daughter of the people's daughter Hubu Shangshu, has seen the general!" β
Only then did the purple-clothed general notice that there was a woman in front of him who was as beautiful as a fairy in green clothes, and her appearance was clearly ...... He was slightly taken aback, hurriedly returned the salute, and asked, "In Xiazhuzhi Mountain, may I ask if Miss Shen is making people shout loudly." He got the news from the Son of Heaven Longwei, so he immediately came out to ask for an understanding.
Shen Qianran was blessed again, and said solemnly, "The people's daughter made a special trip from the capital, one is to summon the news for the three highnesses, as far as the people know, now the prince has ordered the palace to ban, and each palace is guarded by the crossbowmen of the prince Shaobao, and the third highness is worried about His Majesty's holy peace, and he can't come in person, so let the people's daughter come to pass on a message, and the second is ...... The folk girl was worried about her mother Ning Chang'an, so she came to ask the emperor to let the folk girl see her mother! β
Zhu Zhishan shook his head in embarrassment, "Thank you for the sincerity of the girl, but the emperor has issued an edict last night, and the affairs of the court do not need to be reported, the emperor has arranged it properly." As for the girl wanting to see her mother, this is human nature, and Zhu is willing to give a return for the girl, but whether the emperor is willing to see the girl, the general does not dare to guarantee. Please wait here, girl. β
Shen Qianran said slightly, "Thank you, General!" β
Zhu Zhishan waved his hand, "Second Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite!" With that, he turned and left.
Shen Qianran stood quietly waiting, the air seemed to smell the fragrance of roses, which she often smelled in Dongyue.
It occurred to her that her mother's favorite thing was roses. She had heard her mother say that in front of the small medical house in Jiangnan, this kind of flower was also planted.
But this is Xiling, located in the north, which is not suitable for the growth of roses, how can there be such a smell?
She looked around until she was in front of a wall of opstitters, and through the dense foliage, she saw a small bamboo house not far away, surrounded by roses climbing the hedge, and the flower discs surrounded the mouth of the calyx, and there were many colors such as white and yellow.
Looking at the past, this palace did not have the slightest smell of a palace, but rather a farmstead, and it was a neatly cultivated small field, which was planted with all kinds of small plants with stalks, and she recognized at a glance that it was all medicinal vegetation.
At that moment, her heart beat wildly, didn't Lan Yuyan want to kidnap her mother for a while? But he has long planned to stay here with his mother? Otherwise, how could such a small farm in the Jiangnan style be built?
Perhaps, her mother knew that she had ventured to come here, and she would desperately ask to see her, and Lan Yuyan should not be too embarrassed by her mother in this matter. However, looking at the qi in front of her, she had a hunch that Lan Yuyan had already made all preparations for this palace change, and it was even possible that he arranged this palace change to make Ning Jin take the throne justifiably, then he would never let himself take Ning Chang'an away.
Shen Qianran was very anxious in his heart, but he couldn't see the generals.
Until an hour, she heard a slightly anxious voice in the distance, "Miss Shen Er, it's rude, let you wait for a long time." βγ
The footsteps of Zhuzhi Mountain were a little chaotic, as if he was rushing over at this hour, not only with beads of sweat on his face, but also his breath was very rough when he ran over.
Shen Qianran's intuition was not good, he didn't care about etiquette, he took a few steps forward, and asked directly, "Generals, is there something wrong?" β
"Yes, the emperor and Niangniang are nowhere to be found, and everything that can be found here has been searched. The meals prepared by the palace people in the bamboo house have not been touched, and the palace people who are waiting for them have said that the tea and snacks that went in according to the hour have not been touched, and they have not even touched the cups......" The purple clothes and armor on Zhuzhishan's body looked heavy and hot at this time, he wiped the sweat on his eyelids with the soft placket at the cuffs, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "General Ben just went to see the emperor's tomb in the back mountain, and the broken dragon stone has been put down, I'm afraid, I'm afraid something is not good!" β
"What a broken dragon stone!" Shen Qianran's eyebrows jumped, and the sense of ominousness in his heart became more and more prevalent.
"Explain as you go!" Zhuzhishan exhaled fiercely, and suddenly let out a long howl, Shen Qianran felt a strange wind, and suddenly found that a large group of black-clothed masked people suddenly appeared beside him.
"Don't worry, they are the emperor's dragon guards, and they are ordered to protect the emperor and Niangniang here!" After Zhuzhishan said a word, he ordered Long Wei, "You come with this general, the emperor may be trapped in the imperial tomb!" β
Zhuzhishan led everyone to run towards the trail of the back mountain quickly, although Shen Qianran was not delicate and weak, but in the end she was the only weak woman who had not practiced martial arts, and when she didn't have a cup of tea, she was already far behind, and she was out of breath, Shui Yue saw this, stepped forward and bowed down, and said in a low voice, "Second Miss, let me carry you!" β
At this time, he didn't pay attention to anything, lest he would slow down and drag everyone's hind legs, Shen Qianran leaned on Shui Yue's back without hesitation and hugged Shui Yue's shoulders tightly.
Shui Yue's light skills were not weak, and in a few breaths, he caught up with the team and followed closely behind Zhuzhi Mountain.
Shen Qianran took a deep breath and calmed his breath, "Generals, what is the Broken Dragon Stone you just said?" β
Zhuzhishan wanted to explain while walking, but Shen Qianran's legs and feet were too slow, and after a few figures, the distance between the two widened, and he was worried about the emperor in his heart, and he had no intention of explaining.
At this time, seeing Shui Yue carrying Shen Qianran following him closely, he explained as he walked, "The emperor has built a mausoleum in the back mountain, and there is a thousand-pound broken dragon stone at the entrance of the mausoleum, and the mechanism is located within 100 meters of the depths of the mausoleum, so to put down the broken dragon stone, people must be in the mausoleum, so General Ben is worried about ......"
"Is the general saying that it is possible for the emperor and my mother to be in the tomb?" Dye Qianran screamed in surprise, and at that moment, a heart was like thin ice in spring, but it was severely shattered by a brutal force.
She clinged to Shui Yue's shoulder tightly, her heart was twisted in pain, she couldn't imagine that Lan Yuyan was so ruthless, and she would drag her mother to be buried with her when she died.
Zhuzhi Mountain also stopped talking, and soon, the group arrived in front of the emperor's tomb.
"This is it!" Zhuzhi Shanshou pointed his finger, his face was solemn, here he just looked at it repeatedly, there was no trace of destruction, it should have been someone pressed the mechanism of the broken dragon from the inside!
Shen Qianran looked at it in dismay, if it weren't for the guidance of Zhuzhi Mountain, she would never have thought that what was so inconspicuous in front of her, and there was not even an inscription, was the Emperor's Mausoleum. She walked over slowly, only to see a stone gate, she turned her head to look at Zhuzhi Mountain with a wry smile, and the other party nodded lightly and said, "Yes, this is the Broken Dragon Stone, the stone weighs a thousand catties, the stone surface is polished round and smooth, and it can be opened by non-human beings." The mechanism of this stone is in the depths of the emperor's mausoleum, a hundred meters deep from the mouth of the broken dragon, after pressing the stone, it is impossible to escape, His Majesty ...... "Zhuzhishan's eye circles are slightly astringent, he has followed the emperor for many years, and what he knows best is the emperor's heart, others may not believe it, but he believes that Lan Yuyan imprisoned him and Ning Chang'an in the imperial mausoleum."
"General, there's water in there...... Or food! Shen Qianran's eyes were secreted with a layer of water, but an indescribable coolness was like ice silk wrapped around his heart, the corners of his mouth were a little astringent, and he asked in a trembling voice, "People...... How long can you stay inside? β
Zhuzhishan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This is a mausoleum, and the most taboo thing is to pile up what you can eat and drink, in case you raise insects and ants." β
"Yes......" The voice was so fragile that she couldn't even hear herself, Shen Qianran's steps were heavy and she walked towards the stone gate step by step, she stretched out her trembling hand, and when she touched the smooth stone surface, tears hit the placket like ice edges. She numbly stroked the cold stone one by one, suppressing the sadness and anger in her heart.
"Mother......" She clutched the sad and sad pain in her chest, which was more depressing than horror, mother, mother, you are such a beautiful woman, but in the best years, disfigured your face, locked yourself in the dark bedroom, you desperately guarded your own pair of children, but in the end, you were buried alive in this cold grotto by the so-called people who love you!
Mother...... If this were your life, Dye would rather you admit defeat at the beginning and admit defeat to that devil-
"Mother, Dye is here...... Daughter is here to pick you up......" She slapped the cold stone heavily, hard, and again, her eyes full of sorrow, and tears raged silently, such a life and death, who could bear such a tragic death? Who can endure itββ!
"Lan Yujian......" An irrepressible flame rushed out of his chest, and thousands of wisps of cruelty and cruelty turned out of his bright eyes, and he screamed, "Lan Yujian, Lan Yujian, listen, one day...... Someday...... Even if my mother turned to ashes, I ...... Shen Qianran also wants to take away my mother's ashes...... Nothing left! Before the sound fell, a heart-rending pain suddenly came from the agitated chest, as if there was an evil force pulling, Shen Qianran couldn't help but grab his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed on the Broken Dragon Stone.
"Second Miss, Second Miss, don't be sad, perhaps, Madame, she ......" Shui Yue and Shui Mi rushed forward at the same time, supporting the crumbling Shen Qianran, wanting to comfort, but suffering from lack of words, they could only cry silently.
Shen Qianran knew that her mother was inside, this was the Emperor's Palace, guarded by layers of dragon guards, and no outsiders could get in.
And since Lan Yuyan buried himself alive in the mausoleum, he would never leave her mother behind.
Zhuzhishan didn't care about the disrespect in Shen Qianran's words, but knelt down, even if he had been galloping for half a lifetime, he was also in tears at this time.
In his heart, Lan Yuyan is an emperor, and he can be said to be a wise monarch through the ages, but because of his affection, he is trapped in a deep pool for half his life and cannot help himself.
Xiling Palace.
After a day of discussion among the ministers in the Jinluan Palace, it was decided who would go to the Jiangnan earthquake in person, how much official money should be allocated, and which province would cooperate with the dispatch, and the specific disaster area should be used to give porridge first.
When the sun set, at the beginning of the unitary time, the palace held the lamp, and the prince ordered a banquet to be placed directly on the Jinluan Palace, saying that after the banquet, he continued to discuss the specific details of the disaster relief in Jiangnan.
In addition to the prince's lineage, even neutral ministers feel tired, especially ministers below the second rank, and they don't even have a place to sit, and when they stand on this day, their limbs are already weak and dizzy.
But everyone was afraid of the prince Shaobao, who was surrounded by knives and guns, and no one dared to make a trace of protest. Everyone can see that this Golden Luan Hall is likely to turn into a bloody slaughterhouse.
The food in the banquet was extremely rich, and the minister, who had been standing for a day and hungry for a day, didn't care about thinking too much at this time, so he sat down to solve the Five Organs Temple first.
What's more, these Beijing officials above the fourth grade, who have been immersed in the court for so many years, have more hearts than mirrors, and the most important response to this disaster is the household department, but the seven highnesses in charge of the household department have not even seen a shadow, and everyone has guessed a little bit in their hearts.
In addition, King Ning, who was sitting at the top of the right, was not in a hurry or tired from beginning to end, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, neither participating in the discussion of the disaster, nor refuting any of the prince's opinions, making it clear that this was not a matter of the military department, and when it was time to go to the court, no one should stop him.
All the ministers thought that as long as they were not strong, the knife would not fall on their necks. Just waiting to see how King Ning will go next, they can only wait and see.
Lanting looked at the table full of refined delicacies such as "Muddy Sheep Dead", "Soul Burning", "Red Chestnut", "Brocade Turtle Everywhere", "Hump Roasting", "Camel Hoof Soup" and so on. glanced at the prince at the top, lazily half leaning on the square table, and there seemed to be a hint of unconcealed ridicule in his serious tone, "Prince, my brother doesn't look like this banquet is a banquet to discuss the disaster relief in Jiangnan, you see, this specification has caught up with the celebration banquet!" β
Lanling was wearing a bright yellow prince's costume today, he first looked at Lanting, and then looked at Liu Xiang with obvious embarrassment on his face, the corners of his mouth raised a crescent moon, his eyes looked forward to the brilliance, as if he was listening to a compliment, and raised his voice, "Naturally, it is to be rewarded first, and after the Jiangnan disaster is settled, then the meritorious deeds will be rewarded." Third brother, I have to punish you with a cup, but you don't say a word today! β
Lan Ting raised his glass, but he didn't drink, he looked at Lan Ling, his slender ink eyebrows were unconcealed with a layer of coldness, and his eyes were as bright as June frost, "If the prince wants to ask his brother about this march and fight, how to schedule, how to open, how to set up an ambush, how to set up a formation, this brother can still say a thing or two, this open warehouse to put grain, where to set up a few stoves, a few bowls of porridge, the younger brother really can't interject, please see the prince."
Forgive! β
Lan Ling's eyes were also slightly cold, and he accepted Fang Cai's warm expression, raised his head, and drank all the wine in the cup.
At this time, a whisper came from Lan Ting's ear, "The news from the Thunder Ten Generals, the second lady took people to the Eastern Suburbs Palace!" β
Lan Ting took the cut red pinch from the palace maid beside him with a calm expression, and gently said, "Huh? With a sound, the palace maid immediately understood, and then said, "Shen Shi's body moved at the end of the day, according to the itinerary, and it should be out of the city gate at this time!" β
Lan Ting's hand holding the porcelain bowl shook slightly, his face sank, and he no longer had the usual ruffian appearance, under the palace lamp, he got up with a solemn expression and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that my brother has something urgent to retire first!" β
"Oh?" Lan Ling smiled leisurely, with a shallow light in his eyes, and when he narrowed slightly, he shot out a wisp of murderous aura, and said word by word, "I can't see that there is anything more urgent than Jiangnan's affairs at this time!" β
Lan Ting's figure has left the desk, and the murderous intention that is not hidden from the prince's eyes, Lan Ting's face does not change, and he is calm, as if he is talking to a familiar friend, "Naturally, that is the father." The king just got the news, the father is now in the eastern suburbs of the palace, but at the Broken Dragon Cliff, someone actually set up explosives, the king has to immediately set off to find out, the prince, this matter is involved in the whole body, the prince and the king have to worry about three points. With such a clear metaphor, he believes that Lan Ling can hear it, and if Lan Ling dares not to let go at this time, then they will expose the secrets they are guarding together!
As soon as these words came out, the Jinluan Palace immediately boiled, and Wen Zhibin, the representative of the Qingliu faction of the court, immediately stood up and said solemnly, "If there is really something, it is a rebellion, according to the views of the ministers, the safety of the emperor is a matter of the world's society, this matter must not be delayed for half a moment, King Ning is in charge of the military department, and the camp in the eastern suburbs can be reprimanded, this matter is the most suitable for King Ning to do!" β
The ministers echoed.
The household servant suddenly stepped forward and responded, "The minister has seen that the disaster situation in Jiangnan has been almost discussed, and the rest of the ministers of the household department have stayed to discuss, and the emperor's affairs are the most important at the moment, so don't make a mistake!" β
The nerves at the corners of Lanling's mouth twitched! But he didn't speak, just looked at Tobe Shirou dangerously, and his gaze was cold as if he wanted to poke a hole in his face. Tobe Shirou secretly swallowed, the soles of his feet slowly moved, and he silently retreated to his small corner.
Lan Ting took a step forward, his eyes grabbed the prince deeply, sharp and deep, and he shook his hands, "Brother retreat!" Ignoring the prince's order, he stroked his sleeves and left, behind him, several generals of the military department immediately followed closely, and most of the generals on the Jinluan Palace went for a while, and all of these generals had followed Lanting to fight foreign races, and all of them crawled out of the pile of dead people, with a murderous aura. In front of the gate of the Jinluan Palace, a prince Shaobao turned sideways to stop him, and was forced to retreat by a cold eye from Lanting, and before the guards behind him helped Lanting open the door, the gate had been kicked open by Lanting, and he walked away!
Arrived at the gate of the palace, Lanting's footsteps did not lag at all, although those crossbow archers were ordered to guard here, but to the murderous Lanting, all of them felt that their hands were soft, they were also born in the army, naturally heard that Lanting was ruthless, in order to survive, even the blood of the dried corpse dared to drink, in such a hot desert, after death, although the corpse is not easy to decay, but it is easy to dry, to suck blood on the dry corpse, it almost has to pick up the deep muscles on the corpse and suck it desperately.
"Open the door to this king!" Lan Ting shouted loudly and kicked the palace gate guard who stepped forward to salute three feet away.
The guard general hurriedly got up and got up with the wolf bèi, leaned down and knelt at the feet of Lan Ting, and shouted again and again, "The lower official is here by the order of the prince......"
Lan Ting pulled out the long sword from the hand of the guard beside him, and before the guard could finish speaking, a sword was already stabbed into his chest, and he flew up and kicked him out of the three feet, his eyes were like arrows, and he waved the long sword in his hand and pointed directly at the other guard at the city gate, his eyes were slightly sunken, and a cold glow appeared, and he drank coldly, "Open the door!" β
"Ning...... King Ning's Palace.... "The ...... guard was stunned by Lan Ting's eyes for a while, and he glanced at everyone, and found that everyone was fixed there, and then looked at the generals behind Lan Ting, all of them had murderous faces, and knew in their hearts that they must not be able to stop, so they moved their steps and said, "Xiaguan, this will be opened immediately!" β
As soon as the palace door opened, the guards outside the palace had already led their horses to wait, Lan Ting pushed the guards away with one hand, flew on the horse, clamped his legs hard, and galloped away.
The guards hurriedly mounted their horses and followed with a whistling voice.
The generals behind him knew that the stakes were high, and after years of marching cooperation, they could betray their intentions in the Lan Pavilion with a single look, and they each got on their horses and scattered.
