Chapter 175: Helper
Ruo'an said, got up and left, Ziyan looked at her hurried back, couldn't help but feel distressed, the already weak body was tormented by the recent disasters and became thinner, and after a few days of peace of mind, she encountered disasters again......
Ruo'an was hurrying on the road, thinking about Leng Chen, and didn't pay attention to anything else, Princess Siyi had just come out of the palace and wanted to visit Leng Chen, when she happened to meet the worried Ruo'an who quickly passed by her, and stopped calling out with curiosity: "Ruo'an sister-in-law?" ”
Ruo'an was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the person who had just rubbed shoulders with him seemed to be Princess Siyi, so she stopped, turned around to look, she hadn't seen Siyi for a few days, she seemed to have grown a lot taller, and she was looking at herself with a curious face. Ruoan subconsciously wanted to bend down to salute, but was stopped by Princess Siyi running a few steps: "What are you doing, your identity is no longer a palace maid, you are the eldest brother's woman, and you are my Princess Siyi's sister-in-law, how inappropriate is this kind of salute......"
"Hmm......" Ruo'an nodded vaguely, her spirit had been in a tense state, and when she suddenly met Princess Siyi, she reflexively followed the old habits in her memory, until Princess Siyi helped her up, and she came back to her senses from that fugue state.
"What's going on? Is Big Brother in bad shape? Sister-in-law's face is so ugly? Princess Siyi was a little worried. Ruo An shook his head slightly, barely squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't have anything to do...... Princess, don't worry...... Your big brother...... He doesn't have anything to do for the time being......"
"Oh...... It scared me to death, I thought something was wrong when I saw you so lost...... The eldest brother is really unlucky, he has encountered disasters one after another, what did he do? Did you catch the murderer? ”
Ruoan shook his head, Princess Siyi cared so much about Leng Chen. Ruo'an couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, it would be better if she wasn't the queen's child......
Ruoan sighed: "Not only did the murderer not be caught, but even the antidote to save your eldest brother was gone......"
"Huh? Antidote? Schisandra? I've heard that! Isn't this medicine very common? How could there not be? Siyi wrinkled her eyebrows, her childish face full of surprise.
"Yes, this medicine is indeed very ordinary, but it's a pity that someone wants your eldest brother's life, and the day before the prince was poisoned, he bought all the schisandra berries in the city, so that now, there is no antidote at all......"
"Ahh How so? Who has the financial resources and power to buy so many medicinal herbs? Did the hoarder catch it? ”
Ruoan smiled bitterly: "There is no ......"
"How can this be true? I'm really. Do all the people in this government eat white rice? You can't even catch someone for such a big thing, what's the use of keeping them! No, I will report this matter to my father and the emperor and accuse them of dereliction of duty! Let my father punish the sins of these straw bales! Princess Siyi turned around angrily and was about to leave, but Ruoan hurriedly grabbed her: "The princess is angry." Now is not the time to punish them, the most important thing now is to find Schisandra as soon as possible. Save your big brother's life! ”
"Yes. Keep those bales and clean them up slowly! I made a note of it! But where are we going to get the medicinal herbs? "Siyi is also in trouble.
Ruoan said: "General Huo Lin has ordered the soldiers to go into the mountains to pick, and they should be able to come back soon......"
"Well, General Huo's subordinates are all well-trained soldiers, and it will definitely be no problem to leave this matter to him! When he returns, I will definitely say a few kind words for him in front of my father......"
Ruoan smiled, children are children after all. It's true, as for the queen's mother, don't tell her, everything is just speculation, and there is no full evidence to prove that the queen mother did it. In order not to tarnish Princess Siyi's image of her mother, Ruoan still decided to hide this matter.
Thinking that it was not too early, there was no time to delay here, and he had to go to the queen mother for help, Ruo'an said: "Ruo'an still has something to do, so I won't accompany the princess and leave first......"
"Well, sister-in-law, are you going to see the imperial grandmother? The path you take seems to lead only to the Buddha Hall? Siyi asked, tilting her head.
Joan nodded. Seeing this, Princess Siyi frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, don't go, I guess you won't be able to see the imperial grandmother......"
Ruo'an hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?!" What does it mean to not be seen? Did something happen to the Queen Mother? ”
"Alas, no, the imperial grandmother is old, and very believe in Buddhism, the eldest brother was killed again this time, her old man's heart is naturally not steady, invited the most respected host of the country to chant for the eldest brother to pray for the disaster to keep safe, in order to show the piety of the royal family, the imperial grandmother personally drove up the mountain to visit the master...... I already left yesterday, and I guess it's time to ......."
As soon as he heard this, Ruo'an seemed to be splashed from head to foot by a basin of cold water, at such a critical juncture, the Queen Mother was not in the palace! This leaves Ruoan without even a person to consult! So isolated! Could it be that this is also calculated? Did you deliberately support the Queen Mother?
Ruo'an's body trembled, and he couldn't help but feel weak in his legs, and the despair in his heart was crazy for an instant......
"Sister-in-law?" Princess Siyi hugged Ruo'an and asked, "You're okay, right?" ”
Leng Siyi's concerned appearance made Ruo An's head move...... Perhaps, this little princess can help herself......
Ruo An grabbed Princess Siyi's hand and burst into tears: "Princess, you are the only one who can save your eldest brother now!" ”
Siyi's eyes widened, and she blinked a few times and was a little stunned: "How did you say that...... What can I do? ”
"I need your princess!" Joan cut the road to the point.
"Ahh This...... What do you mean? Sister-in-law, I don't understand......" Siyi looked embarrassed.
"I need you to use your status as a princess to transfer dozens of shrewd and powerful generals to me, so that they can guard the prince for me, and don't let the idle people wait to get close!"
"Borrowed soldiers? Why don't you find my second brother for this, he has military power in his hands, isn't it easy to transfer people? Siyi wondered.
"In the entire palace, except for the Queen Mother and you, I have no one to trust anymore...... Now the person who is hiding behind the scenes wants to take your eldest brother's life, and it will be more dangerous to stay in this palace for a moment, he has already eaten too much crying, I can't take such a risk again! Ruo'an's eyes were firm, and he vowed to take Leng Chen back to the palace.
Siyi twisted her eyebrows: "Sister-in-law...... Don't you even believe my second brother? His absolute loyalty to his eldest brother! ”
Ruoan shook his head: "I don't believe anyone now, except you and the Queen Mother......"
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong, believe me, the second brother will never harm the eldest brother, he can even sacrifice his life for the eldest brother......"
"Since ancient times, there have been many cases of royal fratricide, and there is no absolute ...... in anything"
"No, it's possible that others may betray the eldest brother, but the second brother will definitely not...... You may not believe it when my sister-in-law says it, but this is the case, the second brother's life was exchanged for the eldest brother, and when he was a child, he made a heavy oath that he would be absolutely loyal to the eldest brother and swear allegiance to the death! ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? How come I've never heard them say that? Joan was curious.
Princess Siyi smiled and said: "The eldest brother has always been low-key, and he didn't let the people around him mention it again in the past, and he was joking when the second brother said it, but I know in my heart that the second brother has always remembered ......"
Princess Siyi stepped forward and grabbed Ruo'an's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go back, listen to Siyi talk to you slowly......"
Ruoan nodded, thinking that it would be in vain anyway, so she simply accompanied Princess Siyi back and listened to the past of these two brothers.
It turned out that Leng Chen's legs were injured in an accident, and why he was injured was actually to save Leng Yang.
After the former queen died, in order to avoid thinking of Leng Chen's biological mother, the emperor was reluctant to see Leng Chen for many years, and even arranged him to the most remote palace, so that it was not easy to see him often, so that he could not be so sad.
Poor Leng Chen was lonely and miserable, and was treated unfairly by the emperor like this, and was often criticized by the palace people, which was nothing more than some gossip, which was unbearable after all. Although Leng Chen is a child, he also understands that in order to live in this high wall of exclusion, he must learn to forbear, and his calm temperament was cultivated from that time.
As Leng Chen grew up, when he reached the age of entering school, he entered the study for the first time, met the master who was teaching, and met his younger brother and sister......
Siyi was too young at that time to study together, but Leng Chen and Leng Yang's age was not much different, although the three of them were very raw when they met for the first time, but after all, they were all children, there was no mustard, and there was blood and family, so naturally they quickly became a piece, the feelings between the children were pure, Leng Yang ate better at that time, he was a full little fat dun, and Leng Chen has been left out so his body is very thin, Leng Yang often brings out delicious food from the queen mother to Leng Chen, Leng Chen does not shirk, and pulls Xiao Siyi, The three children got together to eat and play together, they were very happy, and gradually Leng Chen's gloomy face gradually smiled.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and soon the news that the relationship between the three of them was getting closer and closer was known by the queen's mother, and she ordered Leng Yang and Siyi not to play with Leng Chen, except for studying together, they couldn't be together at any other time. took apart the little friend so hard, Leng Yang was naturally unhappy, and screwed up with the queen, and was punished for a month of confinement.
Leng Chen knew that he was not liked by the queen, so in order not to let Leng Yang be punished, he deliberately alienated the relationship with the two. This made Leng Yang, who was in a hurry, very unbearable. But I had no choice but to endure it. finally got a chance to go out to play, and when the three of them were finally able to get together again, it was a happy thing, but the tragedy quietly staged at this moment......
