When Shi Ran got up, his father was gone.

Luo Qi saw that his official robe was a little messy, so he hurriedly stepped forward to tidy it up for him, but saw that Shi Ran's face was pale, and he also understood in his heart that it was naturally related to Lian Zhi'er.

He was driven back by Shi Ran because of that woman, and today he knows that she is dead, so he can't wait to clap his hands and applaud, he is satisfied.

But at this time, the sedan chair was ready, and Shi Ran left the mansion, and after getting on the sedan chair, he went straight to the palace.

Outside, it was still pitch black, and there were no stars.

Before his palanquin fell, he heard a gloomy voice coming, "Shi Ran is here?" ”

"The scholar is inside, and now he is in a hurry to enter the palace!"

"Fuck off." An angry voice came, and then a muffled sound was heard, presumably Ruan Lu beat the palanquin man, only to hear the palanquin man's howl crying for his father and mother.

Shi Ran couldn't help frowning, and when he got off the sedan chair, he saw Ruan Lu's urgent face.

When he saw him, Ruan Lu's first words were, "Can you take her to Beijing with you?" Where is she now? ”

His voice was urgent, and there was a bit of nervousness in his tone.

Shi Ran was just silent.

And it was this silence that made Ruan Lu fall into the abyss.

It was dark and there was no light, and the lamp hanging at the palace gate illuminated the shock in his eyes clearly, and he almost trembled and asked, "You left her there?" ”

"Yes."

In an instant, the green tendons on Ruan Lu's forehead jumped. Teeth clenched and "gurgled".

Didn't he say he would take her as a concubine? Why didn't you take her back to Beijing, what is this, is it a concubine who is going out? What he once regarded as a treasure was despised by him like this.

"You still failed her, and today the son of this world will kill you." His eyes were bloodshot, like an angry beast.

After saying that, he kicked Shi Ran, and everyone didn't react, and Shi Ran had already received a kick in the chest, and he took a few steps back sharply. "Wow" spat out a mouthful of blood.

The guards outside the palace gate were all stunned when they saw Ruan Lu beating the court officials in public, and they forgot to stop them for a while.

The attendants who came with Shi Ran were frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly shouted to the guard, "Why don't you stop it, do you see people killed?" How did you get on an errand? ”

Ruan Lu was also in charge of the forbidden army in Beijing, but when he saw his eyes glaring, he roared angrily, "Which of you dares to come? ”

His voice was so loud that even the heavy palace gate trembled for a while.

Shi Ran looked at him so angry, and then he knew that he loved her to such an extent. But this matter must not be publicized, if the Queen Mother knew that Ruan Lu was secretly hiding the lord of Beiliang, this is a big crime of deceiving the monarch.

However, Ruan Lu already had killing intent in his eyes at this time, and he reached out and snatched the knife of the forbidden army beside him, and went straight to Shi Ran to kill him.

Fortunately, there was also a sword hidden in the frame of the dyeing car, and the little guys hurriedly took it and handed it to him.

"Your Royal Highness, don't ......"

With the exclamations of the people around him, the sword in Ruan Lu's hand was no more than a stone's throw from his throat.

Shi Ran held the sword in his hand. One picked away his blade, but after all, he was defeated by Ruan Lu, a person who had been practicing martial arts for many years, but he saw that the tiger's mouth where he held the sword had been shattered, and drops of blood fell to the ground along the hilt.

However, Ruan Lu's killing intent was not reduced by half a point, and when he saw that he had never killed him, he was furious again, and only raised his knife and slashed it again.

Where could the people of Shi Mansion let him kill Shi Ran, they only hurried to stop it, but Ruan Lu had already killed his red eyes, and the Shi family's little servant was actually killed two on the spot.

Splashing blood on the gates of the city is a great sin.

At this time, I saw an angry voice coming, "Don't stop yet." ”

It turned out that everyone was making a fuss, and someone had already invited Yanhou and Shi Taifu, who had already entered the palace.

This voice was shouted by Yanhou, and he saw his son cutting people with a knife through the palace gate, and he couldn't help but be horrified, and he hurriedly stopped him.

And Shi Taifu followed behind him, only hurriedly looked at Shi Ran, but saw that there was blood stains on his official robe, and he only stood there, his face as white as a piece of paper.

Ruan Lu saw that his father had been invited, so he glanced at Shi Ran viciously, and almost sneered, "A person like you who is indifferent will die at the hands of this son sooner or later." ”

Shi Ran's face was still indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

Yan Hou didn't know why the two of them were shouting and killing at the palace gate, but as soon as he heard this, he secretly screamed badly, thinking that it was because of Fu Yunhuang's dispute.

This marriage was originally a loss for them, and it was the eldest princess who did not break up the family. If Shi Ran enters the palace in such an embarrassment, he is afraid that others will say that his son is lawless.

"Come on, take care of both of them and wait for the Queen Mother to deal with them." Yan Hou only ordered the forbidden army in the palace, and sure enough, the forbidden army hurried up, found two rooms, and placed the two people.

Shi Taifu was a little angry for a while when he saw that his son was locked up for no reason, and that it was a slave in his mansion who died, but after all, this matter had not yet been clarified, and his official position was not up to Yanhou, so he had to swallow his anger.

Sure enough, there are no secrets in the palace, and what happened is what happened, but the queen mother in the harem already knows it clearly, but when she heard that it was because of a woman, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Now the most prestigious people in Beijing are the two of them, and now the mourning family is still there, they are fighting in this way, if one day the mourning family closes their eyes, I am afraid that this Beijing will turn the sky upside down."

Seeing her grief, Gonggong Liu on the side couldn't help but comfort her again.

Since the death of the first emperor, the poor orphans and widows who were left behind were first the vassal kings who made a rebellion, and then the king of Beiliang who entered Beijing to make a rebellion, and the queen mother was even more exhausted in these years. Dealing with people in the court everywhere, but she is only thirty years old now, and she has already revealed the second half of her life, but I am afraid that she will not survive for long.

"Now the mourning family is most worried about the discord between the two of them, because of a county lord of Beiliang, these two people were involved in one place, and now because of a Fu Yunhuang."

That father-in-law Liu was the one who was dragged down by Lian Zhi'er back then, and when he heard this, he felt creepy, and remembered the lawless woman again.

"Scholar Shi is a smart person, and he will never do anything that loses his identity, the Queen Mother can only rest assured."

"The mourners have an idea." The Queen Mother rubbed the corners of her forehead and said slowly, "Now the people of Beiliang are eyeing us everywhere, and their county lord Lian Zhi'er of Beiliang has been so devoted to dyeing, if you can get along, it will be very beneficial to everyone." ”

Gonggong Liu hurriedly said, "How did the Queen Mother forget, Lord Shi refused to marry in public at the beginning, how can he be willing now?!" ”

"The mourning family understands Shi Dyeing, if a cold-hearted person like him is really emotional, it will kill people." The Queen Mother shook her head, "Since he can withdraw from this family business without hesitation, obviously he doesn't care who he marries." ”

Gonggong Liu couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's still the Queen Mother who understands." ”

The Queen Mother sighed, "I don't know how long the mourning family can survive." As long as the emperor has Shi Ran and Ruan Lu by his side in the future, the mourning family will be in the hell of Yinsi, and they can rest assured. ”

Sure enough, in the court, the Queen Mother looked at the civil and military ministers in the court through the curtain, and asked, "Where did Scholar Shi and Lord Ruan go?" ”

Yan Hou walked out at this time, knelt on the ground and said busily, "The dog had a dispute with Shi Daxue at the palace gate today, and now he has taken care of it, and he also asked the Queen Mother to send it down." ”

Mrs. Shi also walked out, only replied, "Today, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World suddenly made a mistake at the palace gate, and the dog was seriously injured, and the Queen Mother was asked to uphold justice." ”

The Queen Mother behind the curtain couldn't help but sigh, "The mourning family has heard about this matter, Ruan Lu actually killed people at the palace gate, so they put him in prison, because ten days later is the day of his wedding, and the mourning family only imprisons him for nine days." ”

Mrs. Shi was suddenly full of resentment and resentment, this queen mother was clearly extremely protective of Ruan Lu, and such a big crime was opened so easily.

Because of the collapse of the river embankment and the fact that tens of thousands of people were swept away by the river, Shi Taifu had already lost face because of Sun Sheng's involvement, and now he naturally didn't dare to say anything.

*********

Inside the prison, Ruan Lu looked through the cold window at the startled birds. In the pitch-black pupils, there is only endless indifference.

Although he was locked up, he was still enshrined like his ancestors, and only chose the most spacious room for him, and even the things for the tables and chairs were also excellent, and the daily tea was also sent by the eldest princess.

Ruan Lu is surprisingly quiet, only painting every day.

Just as he was about to finish drawing the horse on his rice paper, he heard a very light footsteps.

But it was the dyeing that came.

"Shicai Dongping's letter has arrived in Beijing, and she was swept away by the water that day." He said slowly, "Today I will go out of Beijing to find her, and I will bring her body to the people of Beiliang." ”

The ink on the wolf's hair fell on the rice paper drop by drop, and the horse that had been painted for a day was destroyed.

"No, this son of the world said that he would not let her go to Beiliang in this life." There was pathos in his voice, "Even if I die, I want her to stay by my side." ”

"Fulfill her, this is her last wish." Shi Ran's face was solemn with a beak that could not be ignored.

"Do you know what this son regrets the most?" His face turned pale. confronted Shi Ran, "That's when she stayed with you and promised to marry you as a concubine." ”

"I didn't marry her."

"What?" Ruan Lu was furious, if it weren't for the wooden fence between them, he was so afraid that he would have to pounce and kill Shi Ran, "You lied to me with her in the first place?" ”

"Yes." Shi Ran's voice was a little complicated, "Yes, she just doesn't want to stay with you." ”

"Why? This prince promised her to marry her as the princess. Ruan Lu's face was extremely pale.

"Because all she has for you is hatred." Shi Ran's lips pursed tightly, "Let's cut off her life here with our own hands, and I'll let it all end." ”

The anger in Ruan Lu's eyes gradually burned out, leaving only despair, "It turns out that she hates me like this, it's okay, you don't have to say half a word to this son about her, even if it's a corpse, you don't have to let this son see it." ”

Shi Ran didn't say anything about the child, and even felt that it was not necessary at all, which would only make Ruan Lu live in pain for the rest of his life.

****

The carved fence and jade of the year's Jinghou Mansion, only smell the birds and flowers, between the pavilions and pavilions, but see a beauty is enjoying the flowers in the garden, but no matter how delicate the flowers, they can't compare to this beauty.

Cuiyun hurriedly ran over, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she didn't wait to catch her breath, she just hurriedly told what she had inquired about.

"Miss, I heard that this morning was the time of the dynasty. His Royal Highness beat Lord Ruan, and now he is in prison. ”

Fu Yunhuang slammed his strength, and a delicate peony was forcibly folded off by her, "What? ”

"I heard it's for you, Miss." Cuiyun said happily, "Everyone said that the two of them were jealous and made a move, it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has taken you to heart like this." ”

Fu Yunhuang was not only not a little happy when he heard this, but he actually frowned, "What? What can they say to each other? ”

The slave maid only inquired, and His Royal Highness the Prince only said who Lord Shi had lost. It must be you, Miss.

Although Fu Yunhuang is conceited of his beauty, he doesn't believe that the two of them are fighting for themselves anyway.

And at this moment, I saw the nurse come over with a box, and said respectfully, "Miss, this is the phoenix crown Xia Wei sent from the palace, and the queen mother gave it to you." ”

Cuiyun couldn't help but be surprised, "Shouldn't it be the one from the eldest princess in the past?" Why did you give it again? ”

At this time, the nurse had already opened the box, but she saw that although the phoenix crown was excellent. But after all, it can't withstand the eldest princess's marriage.

However, at this moment, a thought suddenly floated in Fu Yunhuang's heart, and her face changed in an instant, "I see." ”

Everyone was taken aback by her, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's the matter?" Don't you like it? ”

"It turned out to be for her, but I was confused at the beginning, but I didn't expect a lowly woman to have such ability." Her eyes were blood-red, and when she came up, she grabbed Cuiyun tightly, like a demon asking for her life, "What happened to the flooding of the Yellow River?" But someone died? ”

"But no, all the people in the city are dead, and not even a few people who repair the river are alive." Cuiyun was sweating profusely, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare the slaves! ”

"Retribution, retribution......" Fu Yunhuang suddenly laughed again.

Everyone was terrified when they saw her like this.

And at this moment, there was an angry reprimand, "You are the daughter of the Hou Mansion, you are laughing like this, what kind of system do you become, will you marry the eldest princess mansion in the future?" ”

Fu Yunhuang immediately put away the smile on his face, and only stood up respectfully, "Father." ”

When the people saw this, they hurriedly retreated.

But he saw Sui Jinghou walking over slowly, with a little anger on his face.

Sui Jinghou hated to look at his daughter, "In the future, if you marry into the eldest princess's mansion, you must take every step, if you take a wrong step, it will ruin the old man's hard work." ”

Fu Yunhuang knew that her father's mind was big, and she didn't know what to calculate in the future, but she didn't care at all.

"No matter what, the daughter will keep her position as the princess. Please also remember what you promised your daughter. ”

Sui Jinghou stroked his half-white beard, his eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he only sneered, "It's just to bring down the Shi family, don't worry, now they are already living on the tip of a knife, it's easy." ”

Fu Yunhuang's eyes flashed with endless hatred, "I will definitely dye life rather than death." ”

She looked at the set of phoenix crowns on the table, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, the status of the princess could bring her too much.

"In any case, we must give birth to the flesh and blood of the Ruan family." Sui Jinghou instructed his daughter, "And to capture Ruan Lu's heart." ”

*********

Lian Zhi'er walked for ten days to reach the capital, and the shoes on her feet had been worn thinner than paper, and her legs were as heavy as iron.

It only took a few hours to sleep along the way, and she was in a hurry all the time.

And the breath of the child in her arms is getting weaker and weaker, and her hands and feet are cold and stiff, a little crazy, even after these days of running. I didn't cry a word.

Now she is dusty, her hair is scattered, and even her body is covered with black mud, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a beggar person.

Just when she stepped into the city gate, she felt that Jingzhong was even more lively than before.

While she inquired about the imperial doctor who had cured Ruan Lu's syncope in the first place, she still heard the reason why Jingzhong was so lively.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World got married today, and the Queen Mother rewarded a lot of treasures?"

"But no, now that the Yellow River is flooding, it is still so extravagant."

Someone said sourly, "There are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat." ”

However, Lian Zhi'er didn't care about anything, or even listen to anything, but he still found the imperial doctor's house, and it happened that the imperial doctor came back from an errand in the palace and was seen by her.

Lian Zhi'er hugged the child in her arms and knelt in front of him with a "plop", "My lord, please save my child, please save him." ”

The imperial doctor took out a handkerchief, covered his nose and took a few steps back, and scolded angrily, "Where did you come from to beg for food, you actually came here, Lord Ben is in the palace to treat those nobles, what are you, don't get out of here." ”

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly handed over the golden lock in his arms, "I have silver, you can save him." ”

The imperial doctor looked at the golden lock, but it was a very valuable thing, but he still said disdainfully, "It's really unfortunate, Lord Ben is going to the eldest princess's mansion to eat a wedding wine, which is also his fate, who let him meet such a happy event." ”

"No, you save him, you are the only one in the world who can save his life." Lian Zhi'er has never begged a person in this humble way, but for the sake of her children, even if she loses all her self-esteem.

"Drive her away." He shook his hand disdainfully, and then the little guys came over and punched and kicked Lian Zhi'er.

Lian Zhi'er has been protecting the child in her arms from beginning to end, even if her body hurts her heart.

Finally, those little guys were tired, and Lian Zhi'er got up.
