Chapter 106: Farewell
She didn't know how to explain it, she just felt that everything was a mess, and she desperately tried to solve it all, but she had no choice but to mess it up.
Shi Ran is such a smart person, he naturally understood, "I was confused, how many Beiliang people died because of me, how could King Yan Cheng allow me to go to Beiliang." ”
A tear fell from her eyes, and she choked up, "No matter how good my uncle is, he is not my father and brother after all, they indulge me in everything, even if it is ridiculous, but my uncle will not." ”
Shi Ran's eyes gradually dimmed, "Tell me more about Beiliang before you leave the capital, I won't be able to see it in my life." ”
Lian Zhi'er's tears rolled down.
"Okay."
And at this moment, he saw King Yan Cheng coming over, and when he saw Lian Zhi'er and Shi Ran standing under the porch, he couldn't help but clear his throat.
"Lord Wang." Shi Ran saluted respectfully.
King Yan Cheng knew that Ruan Lu's departure was related to Lian Zhi'er, but he still didn't say anything, just slowly patted her on the shoulder.
"Today, the old man has time, and if Shi Gongzi has anything to say, just say it."
After Lian Zhi'er watched her uncle and Shi Ran leave, she saw Ah Zeng running over in a hurry, still panting in his mouth.
"Aconco found?" Lian Zhi'er didn't wait for him to speak, and hurriedly went up and grabbed his arm, his face full of urgency.
"The forbidden army in Beijing is all waste, and the bricks of the entire capital have been pulled through the cracks. Nothing was found. He angrily slammed his fist against the tree, "I don't know what is crazy now, I took someone into the palace to find it, and I don't know what kind of chaos will happen." ”
Lian Zhi'er's heart jumped, "Why didn't you go with it?" ”
"It is taboo for our Beiliang people to enter the palace, and now the prince is not allowed to tell the truth." Ah Zeng snorted coldly, "What kind of place is the palace, how can an outlaw like Ruan Lu say that he can enter it." ”
Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth, "I'm going to the palace." ”
********
Morimori's Palace. Even the birds in the sky do not want to fall under the plane tree, even if it is resplendent in gold.
The Queen Mother on the bed looked at Ruan Lu, who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded bitterly, "You still dare to come to the palace to see the mourning family, you only caused a lot of trouble yourself, and you actually put the jackal into the capital, and my orphan and widow were bullied." ”
The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more excited she became, and she coughed heartbreakingly.
Ruan Lu is in charge of the forbidden army, and he also guards the palace, and he also knows the secret way to enter the palace.
Gonggong Liu hurriedly patted her on the back and said with tears, "The slave said that he was brave, if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, who else could we count on in this court now, did he really expect the regent, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is now ruined, and he must have been calculated." ”
"The Queen Mother is credible, if you believe me. Just help Weichen. His blood-red eyes turned out to be murderous, "I will fight Beiliang in the coming day, so that Beiliang will completely disappear from the world, and only livestock can live from the knife." ”
The Queen Mother sat up with her weak body, and then asked Gonggong Liu to get the pen and ink, only gritted his teeth and wrote stroke by stroke, and it took a stick of incense to barely write, and then let Gonggong Liu stamp the seal.
"Ruan Lu, the mourning family wants you to swear that you will protect the emperor in this life and will never covet the throne." There was a bit of majesty in the Queen Mother's weak voice.
Ruan Lu suddenly laughed, but his voice was mixed with Sensen's chill, "What use do I want for this country, all I want is their lives." If I have half of this mind, it will destroy me in heaven and earth. ”
The Queen Mother looked at him like this, and it was clear that she had karma, but she was afraid that she would tear the entire Central Plains into a quagmire and couldn't extricate herself, but after thinking about it, the people of Beiliang were all jackals, tigers and leopards, and it was good to destroy them.
Soon, Gonggong Liu slowly sent the holy decree over, and said in a sharp voice, "His Royal Highness, when you get rid of Liang Yan, you will be the regent who is powerful in the world." ”
Ruan Lu slowly took the holy decree, "Weichen will never let the Queen Mother down." ”
At this moment, he saw a chaotic sound outside, and Gonggong Liu hurriedly glanced at Ruan Lu, and Ruan Lu turned around and walked behind the screen in the house.
Father-in-law Liu walked out at this time, but saw that the fire was already raging outside, and he became more and more chaotic.
He grabbed a small chamberlain and scolded at a sharp voice, "Eyeless brutes, what are you doing here shouting and screaming? The Queen Mother is still recuperating in the house, if there is a quarrel, you can afford to be picturesque? ”
The chamberlain hurriedly said, "Grandpa Liu, it's amazing, the regent has entered the palace with the forbidden army, and the palace is full of people, and when they see things, they will rob them, which is even worse than the people of Beiliang." ”
Gonggong Liu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he only stomped his feet angrily, and scolded, "This group of beasts didn't drive away the Beiliang people, but they made a mess in the nest first." ”
He was scolding, but saw bursts of firelight coming over like a surge and surrounding the queen mother's bedroom.
"What are you doing here, are you trying to force the palace to usurp the throne?" While scolding, Gonggong Liu called a few attendants in front of him in the past and blocked everyone from the door.
"Father-in-law Liu's big hat is buttoned down, this king really doesn't dare to be it." But he saw Gonggong Liu walking over slowly, and the fire shone on his face. Showing a bit of cruelty and bloodthirstiness.
"Regent, what are you doing here?" Gonggong Liu asked knowingly, "How can this harem mess with men, isn't this a violation of the rules?!" ”
Liang Yan hooked the corners of his lips, as if he didn't take him seriously, "Today, the rebel Ruan Lu ran away, I am afraid that I will flee to the palace to assassinate the Queen Mother and the emperor, and this king came to arrest it for the emperor and the Queen Mother." ”
"The slave has been serving in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and no one has ever come in, you will go out after searching, and no one will be able to enter the Queen Mother's bedroom."
Liang Yan said to the guards beside him, "Gonggong Liu intends to shield the traitors and kill them immediately. ”
The guard had already drawn his sword and walked towards Gonggong Liu's people.
And at this moment, I saw a woman wearing a Beiliang shirt running over in a hurry, and before anyone arrived, a voice as crisp as a silver bell arrived, "Is the regent going to kill all the people in the palace?" And then Lai gave us the Beiliang people? ”
Liang Yan turned his head, and as soon as he saw Lian Zhi'er, he subconsciously touched his face with his hand, and it seemed that he still had a faint pain.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, how could there be this county lord of Beiliang everywhere!
At this time, Lian Zhi'er had already walked over, "Just go in and take a look." ”
Liang Yan frowned and sneered, "Who knows if the county lord will show favoritism, but you let him go today." ”
Lian Zhi'er's eyes were round. "My child's whereabouts are unknown now, but you say I'm going to shield him?! I tell you, the lord of this county is more anxious than anyone else to find him. ”
Seeing this, Gonggong Liu hurriedly said, "Now I can only let the county lord go in and see, you men are not all far away." ”
Liang Yan had to grit his teeth, but Lian Zhi'er pushed open the door and entered the queen mother's bedroom by herself.
After she went in, she saw that there was only the dying Queen Mother on the bed, but she was just holding a breath, her eyes closed, and she didn't know what was going on.
The room was dark, with only a few faltering candles.
Lian Zhi'er slowly walked behind the screen, but faintly smelled a smell of blood, she had smelled it when she saw Ruan Lu in prison, but it was getting clearer and clearer at this time.
She knew he was hiding behind the screen, but she didn't know where he had left Akong.
Just when Lian Zhi'er was about to take a step forward, he heard Ah Zeng's shout outside, "Your Royal Highness the county lord, the little boy has found it, and there is a mother-in-law who came out of nowhere, and only came over with the little boy to receive the reward, saying that it was handed over to him by a man." ”
Lian Zhi'er hurriedly retracted his feet and hurried outside.
"I've seen it inside, and there's no one except the Queen Mother." Lian Zhi'er looked at Liang and said, "If the regent doesn't believe it, go in and search it yourself, but look at your queen mother's breath is about to break, if you happen to go in when you go in, there will be no one left." Maybe everyone thinks that you, the regent, murdered him. ”
Liang Yan was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't help but be ecstatic when he thought that as soon as the only queen mother who presided over the overall situation died, the emperor would become a plaything in his hands.
He did not doubt him, but led everyone back in a mighty way, and brought a few carriages of treasures collected from the palace.
Lian Zhi'er was about to get on the horse when she went out of the palace gate, and the bright car shook the horse's eyes, causing her to almost fall off the horse.
Liang Yan said with a smile, "Is there anything in this that His Royal Highness the County Lord likes?" It's up to you. ”
Lian Zhi'er originally disdained to talk to him, but when he saw him so arrogant, he grabbed the reins and said, "I look good, just move to our mansion." ”
After speaking, she instructed the Beiliang guards beside her, "Since the regent is so generous, why don't you get these things back quickly." ”
Ah Zeng's people are all real people, and they only blew away the guards who drove the carriage, and they all got into the carriage themselves.
Even more shameful is that they also say, "Thank you for the regent's reward." ”
Liang's quilt was crooked. I didn't expect Lian Zhi'er to be such a shameless person, he just said a few polite words, but he didn't expect her to take it for granted.
"It's not that I don't give it to the county lord, but I'm afraid that the people in Beijing will know about it, but I'm afraid that I'll have to make trouble again, just say that you Beiliang people have grabbed things and rushed to the palace, this-"
Lian Zhi'er sneered, "Don't worry, the lord of this county only said that you honored my uncle, but my uncle was disrespectful and stayed in order to protect the face of the regent." ”
"You ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, she clamped the horse's belly and rushed in the direction of the mansion.
And the carriages full of treasures followed.
Only Liang's face was like gold paper, and he only said coldly, "Slut, one day you will die in my hands, and then you will know how powerful this king is." ”
He was scolding, but he saw his subordinates running over in a hurry, and whispered in his ear, "Regent, Shi Ran gave the list to King Yan Cheng today, and King Yan Cheng only said that he would add five million taels of gold, and that he would send gold, silver, and rice to Beiliang every year according to a fixed amount. ”
"The people of Beiliang are really insatiable, so they have to drive them away, and this Central Plains is the king's master." He snorted coldly, "But the matter of dealing with the Beiliang people will be handed over to Shi Ran, it seems that he has to suffer some hardships and make money for the Beiliang people." ”
****
Lian Zhi'er went to the Jingsui Marquis Mansion on the second day. Although there were no guards, everyone in the Jingsui Marquis Mansion was already in danger.
Jing Suihou hurriedly greeted him in person, saw Lian Zhi'er and asked, "The county lord doesn't know what to do in our mansion?" ”
Lian Zhi'er said slowly, "I heard that the Hou Ye entered the palace today and met the Queen Mother, I don't know what happened?" ”
When Jing Suihou saw her asking like this, his heart was extremely weak and his head was dizzy. almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the doorman next to him supported him, and he was able to support himself and reply to Lian Zhi'er's words.
"Naturally, I went to ask the Queen Mother to be the master, and I withdrew from the marriage between the little girl and the traitor, I don't know what the county lord is asking about this matter?"
Lian Zhi'er saw that the courtyard was filled with dozens of red pear wood boxes, as well as brocade and jade objects, all wrapped in red silk, so he pointed and asked. "What is this? Do you want to remarry your daughter after quitting your family? ”
Jing Suihou said, "It was the regent who came to propose marriage, and the old man had already agreed, and he would get married a year later." ”
"I've never seen a father like you, remarrying his daughter in order to become inflammatory." Lian Zhi'er snorted coldly, "Then Fu Yunhuang is also in the mansion, let her come to see me." ”
As soon as she finished her words, she saw that Fu Yunhuang had already hurried over, her fine white forehead was covered with beads of sweat, "What are you talking to my father, if you have anything to tell me, why embarrass an old man." ”
Lian Zhi'er only let everyone leave, and then said slowly, "Your father entered the palace to pick him up?" ”
Fu Yunhuang's eyelids jumped, and his beautiful face was a little panicked, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"I saw him in the palace last night." Lian Zhi'er's eyes burned, and then he took out a token from his arms and sent it to Fu Yunhuang.
"What is this?" Fu Yunhuang saw that her token was a fierce wolf head.
"Let him leave the capital with this token, this is a token that only our Beiliang royal family has, and the people of Beiliang will not stop it when they see it."
Fu Yunhuang took it slowly, still with a suspicious look on his face, and it seemed that he still wouldn't believe that she would be so kind.
"After the Beiliang people leave the capital, it will be more and more difficult for him, let him leave quickly." Lian Zhi'er seemed to have a star hidden in her eyes, "Let him take care." ”
After Lian Zhi'er finished speaking, he turned around and left, but his eyes fell on the dowry, and then he turned around and said, "That regent is an extremely insidious villain, and your marriage can only ruin your life." ”
Waiting for Lian Zhi'er's back to disappear out of the corridor, Fu Yunhuang slowly put away the token in his hand, turned around countless rooms, and finally came to a remote house.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ruan Lu sitting upright on a chair.
"His Royal Highness, the right person has been here."
Ruan Lu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slowly raised his eyes. "Oh? What did she come to do? ”
Fu Yunhuang gritted his teeth, and then said slowly, "She came to search the mansion with someone, but you have to say that you are here, and your father stopped you from going back." ”
"She wanted to kill me like that." Ruan Lu hooked the corners of her lips, "It's a pity that she's going to be disappointed." ”
Fu Yunhuang took a deep breath, then slowly took out the token in his sleeve, and then said, "His Royal Highness, this is the token of Beiliang that my father ordered someone to quietly create, it is enough to confuse the real with the fake, and now the regent is searching for you all over the city, you can only leave the capital with it." ”
Ruan Lu was also thinking about this time, so he only slowly took the token, only glanced at it, and frowned slightly, "I have seen Lian Shuo's token, but I don't know where the Seiko craftsmen in Beijing came from." He did it like that. ”
Fu Yunhuang said with a smile, "Where can the things of the Beiliang people be exquisite, it is easy to get them out, His Royal Highness the Prince said this, but it means that it is enough to mix up the Beiliang people." ”
Ruan Lu said slowly, "When I come back, it will be the time when Liang Yan is dead, and all the credit will be credited to you at that time." ”
Fu Yunhuang showed a smug look on her face, what she wanted was power, but she also understood that the kind of person Liang Yan was just a clown who jumped off the beam and betrayed the lord to seek glory, and Ruan Lu was the one who really achieved great things.
*******
Lian Zhi'er did not go back to the mansion, but only went to find Shi Ran.
But I knew from the owner of the post house that Shi Ran went to borrow money from those rich and wealthy families, and the Queen Mother also personally made a decree to restore her position through the official, and now she is a university scholar again.
Lian Zhi'er heard that he had gone to Zhou Yuanwai's house, so he also chased after him.
That week, Yuanwai's family was a wealthy family, rich and rich, and the courtyard was magnificent, and the family was even more magnificent than the ordinary palace.
She happened to see Shi Ran outside the mansion gate, and when Shi Ran saw that it was her, she was also stunned, and then smiled, "Why are you here?" ”
Lian Zhi'er said with a smile, "I won't see you in the future, I will see you a few more times." ”
It was obviously a sad word, but she said it in a cheerful tone. Only then did he pat her on the head, "It's not something to deal with this week, I'm just afraid that I'll have to suffer some grievances today." ”
Lian Zhi'er said with a smile, "Now that I am also a dog, who knows my identity is not afraid and stammers." ”
Shi Ran suddenly laughed, revealing a row of thin white teeth, and his eyebrows and eyes were also crooked, like stars.
Lian Zhi'er had never seen him smile like this, and even if he laughed before, it was just a hook of his lips, so he said excitedly, "My lord laughed." ”
Shi Ran flicked her forehead with her fingers, "I've never seen myself scolded like this, it's really stupid." ”
Lian Zhi'er pondered his words carefully, and couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed, and he just wanted to plant himself in the brick crack.
And at this moment, I saw an arrogant family member walk out and take a closer look at the two people outside the mansion gate, "My lord is invited." ”
Lian Zhi'er had never seen such a rampant minion, especially when she was about to have a seizure like this, who knew that Shi Ran slowly pulled her sleeve, and Lian Zhi'er barely swallowed.
The two of them entered the room, but they saw that Zhou Yuanwai was sitting on a chair, and his stomach was still stuffed into the jar.
