Chapter 108: His Return
Time flies, a year has passed, and it is spring and autumn, and the trees are full of fruits.
Half a year ago, the queen mother gave up the cliff, leaving the young prince to drive the crane to the west, and the regent covered the sky with one hand in Beijing, only a year's work, so he blindly searched for the people's fat and people's ointment, and for a time the Central Plains sold children and girls, and the world was devastated.
At the same time, they had to send tea, grain and silver money to the Beiliang people according to a fixed amount every year, and even the Beiliang people took the opportunity to loot several cities.
And the regent completely ignored the national mourning and wanted to marry Fu Yunhuang.
Although this Fu Yunhuang is a world-famous beauty, after all, he was also married to Ruan Lu, and everyone was talking about it, and even the commander of the forbidden army, Hong Wu, came forward to stop this ridiculous marriage.
He was originally Ruan Lu's subordinate, but he was brave and powerful, quite prestigious, Liang Yan desperately appeased him, although he used it for the past year, but he also had two hearts, and now he saw that Liang Hua wanted to marry Fu Yunhuang, so he opposed this matter in public in the court.
Immediately, the regent was furious, and through the hands of the little emperor, he issued a holy decree and immediately exiled him.
He was exiled the day before the regent left Beijing.
When he was imprisoned and went out of the city, he suddenly saw an iron rider rushing out of the side of the road, and he saw that the man on the horse was dressed in silver armor, and he was imposing.
The cold moonlight shone on the man's face, but he saw that his dark eyes were full of coldness. It is not like human eyes, but like a fierce beast.
Hong Wu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World save me, and the thief in Liang Yan wants to kill me." ”
Several guards suddenly looked afraid, "Wasn't he killed by the regent?" How could it be in the capital? ”
They then drew their swords and stabbed at Ruan Lu.
The autumn wind was bleak, and blood marks soon appeared on the fallen leaves, as well as the corpse with the human head separated, which was terrifying.
Hongwu fell to his knees. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for saving your life, Wechen is willing to follow you."
Ruan Lu's armor was stained with blood, and the sword in his hand was even more cold, "Do you know why this son saved you?" It's because you're a useful person, and if the son of Japan wants to kill Liang Yan, are you willing to help? ”
Hong Wu gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World came back this time, but to kill the thief?" ”
Ruan Lu's cold eyes slowly looked at the north, "No, it's to kill all those people in Beiliang and make them disappear completely, there is no Beiliang person in this world." ”
Hong Wu only felt creepy, and his back was cold.
*******
The regent palace of the carved gallery and painted wall, blooming with the undefeated strange flowers of the four seasons, hanging with rare birds that are rare in a hundred years, eager to gather the treasures of the world, is thousands of times more magnificent than the palace.
Liang Yan woke up from the nightmare and drove away the beauties around him. Then he took a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
And at this moment, I saw the voice of the guard outside, "The prince is not good, that Hongwu was robbed." ”
Liang Yan only called the guard in, took a deep breath, and his eyes were blood-red, "I have been dreaming of Ruan Lu these days, and this king can't even sleep well. ”
"Does the prince suspect that Ruan Lu did it? Wasn't he killed in Luoyang by the regent's men? ”
"But the body is gone." Liang Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of hatred, "People like him won't die easily, tomorrow no matter what, you must be careful at the wedding banquet, and you must not make any mistakes." ”
"Tomorrow, the ministers of the DPRK and China will accept your invitation, and even the old stubborns will also come." The guard looked at the regent's face and said, "But that Shi Ran refused to come, and he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”
Liang Yan sneered, "If it weren't for that Lian Zhi'er threatening this king, this king would definitely dismantle this person who doesn't eat oil and salt." ”
He was no matter how arrogant and proud he was in the Central Plains, but he still looked at the faces of the people of Beiliang and lived.
"Stand down." The regent still looked a little tired.
And at this moment, I saw the maid come in with a bowl of soothing soup, and said respectfully, "Lord Wang, this is sent by Miss Fu, and it means that tomorrow is the wedding, you don't have to work too hard, you have to settle it early." ”
Liang Yan never thought that Fu Yunhuang had really been desperate to treat himself in the past year, and that Jing Suihou was even more willing to offer his daughter as the regent princess.
Hearing Fu Yunhuang's name, he stretched his eyebrows slightly.
"Tomorrow Jue can't have any accidents."
*******
The regent married a relative, and everyone in the world knew that he was surprisingly extravagant, and he didn't care about the complaints in the market.
The palace is heavily guarded, but all the ministers in the court are there, and they are escorted directly from the mansion, and even the emperor has rewarded countless treasures, and the marquis of Jing Sui is even more official and knighted, which is extremely glorious.
Seeing that it was noon, I saw Fu Yunhuang's luanyu coming, but I saw brocade everywhere and petals all over the sky, like to heaven.
Fu Yunhuang was wearing a wedding dress and covered his head, but he was still graceful, which made people fascinated.
Liang Yan smiled even more, only reached out to take Fu Yunhuang's slender hand, and slowly walked to the palace along the brocade.
Suddenly, there was the sound of vocal music and drumming, and just as he was about to worship the church, he saw the guards in the palace running over in a hurry, and said hurriedly, "The regent is not good, the emperor sneaked out of the palace today, and his whereabouts are unknown." ”
The ministers were horrified, and the regent had transferred all the forbidden troops to the regent's palace in order to protect his own safety. There are very few guards in the palace, but losing the emperor is not trivial.
Liang Yan's face turned pale, and he said hurriedly, "Waste, don't follow this king to find it soon." ”
And at this moment, I saw a pair of slender hands tugging at the regent's sleeve, "Is the prince going to leave?" Seeing that the auspicious time has arrived, as soon as you leave the concubine, you will become the laughing stock of the world. ”
The beauty with a begging voice, let Liang Yan be willing to leave.
He thought that the emperor was just playful, so he only ordered, "Get rid of all the guards and find the emperor." ”
Soon the soldiers were ordered to leave, but all the courtiers on the side whispered, all of them looked like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Liang Yan said coldly, "Don't salute yet." ”
With the sound of drums sounding again, I saw a figure slowly walking out, the voice was cold, but it was the dress of a guard, "The regent actually wants to marry the wife of this son, but this son and her still have a marriage contract, shouldn't you ask this son?" ”
Liang Yan was shocked in his heart, "Ruan Lu, are you still alive?" ”
And at this moment, he saw Fu Yunhuang beside him lifting his hijab by himself, with a look of panic on his face, "Lord, what should I do?" ”
Liang Yan knew that there were still some guards outside. It was enough to withstand some time, so he comforted, "It's okay." ”
However, before he finished his words, he saw a dagger slammed into his chest, and blood fell down his red wedding dress, he raised his eyes to look at Fu Yunhuang in astonishment, but saw that her extremely beautiful eyes were full of disdain.
Over the past year, she has treated him tenderly and sweetly, but she didn't expect it to be a deception in the end.
He once laughed at Ruan Lu's defeat because of a woman, and he is not the same today.
Ruan Lu's cold and piercing voice came, "It turns out that you are just a stupid person, and you haven't learned the lessons of this world's past at all." ”
After listening to his words, Liang Yan still died of anger.
All the ministers in the court were frightened, they didn't expect such an accident, but at this moment, they saw Hong Wu coming in wearing armor, and said loudly, "Your Royal Highness, those people outside have already surrendered, and those who have entered the palace have also been trapped in the palace according to your orders, unable to come out, presumably they will be able to submit soon." ”
At this time, I saw countless guards coming in, and they were all the subordinates who were loyal to Ruan Lu at the beginning, and those who were attached to Liang Yan were all wine bags and rice bags, and they must have been solved quickly.
Liang Yan has been controlling the forbidden army all these years. But the guards refused to obey him, and besides, he was such a cruel and ruthless person, so most of them thought of Ruan Lu.
All the ministers were too frightened to speak, only Shi Ran looked at all this lightly, without any waves on his face.
And at this moment, he saw Ruan Lu slowly walking in front of Shi Ran and placing a roll of bright yellow Yi Zhi in front of him, "Lord Shi take a look." ”
Shi Ran opened it, only glanced at it a few times, and then said in a deep voice, "The Queen Mother is dying, and when Liang Yan is killed, His Royal Highness the Prince will be crowned as the regent." ”
One regent died in Huangquan, but the other came again, and the script didn't play so quickly.
But Hong Wu burst into applause, "If anyone disobeys the will of the Queen Mother, today will be the same fate as this traitor." ”
Everyone looked at Liang Yan's bloody appearance, and they all knelt down. "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Regent."
Ruan Lu sneered, but slowly sat down on a chair in the room, looking at those ministers, his voice was cold and cruel, "But some people are accomplices of the traitor, and today this king executed him to set an example." ”
After speaking, he looked at the trembling ministers, his thin lips moved slightly, and after only one recitation, one person was dragged out and his head was cut off.
The wedding feast, which was joyful an hour ago, has become a hell on earth, and even evil spirits have to take a detour.
Finally, Ruan Lu picked up a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and looked at the frightened ministers below, "You are all innocent, you were all coerced by that traitor, and you will be reinstated in the future." ”
The frightened ministers breathed a heavy sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads with a handkerchief, and knew that they had picked up a life and came back.
But at this moment, he saw Ruan Lu's voice cold, "There is another person, who is really a great crime." ”
Everyone held their breath, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
"Someone will dye ......"
At this moment, he saw Fu Yunhuang's face suddenly change. Even his voice trembled, "His Royal Highness the Prince ......"
She was supposed to call the regent, but in a hurry, she called the wrong one.
Ruan Lu glanced at her coldly, but when he saw her urgent eyes, he only slowly hooked the corners of his lips, "Hold him up and let him go." ”
Fu Yunhuang breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
On the second day, the news of Ruan Lu's appointment as regent spread throughout the capital, and the government and the opposition were all jubilant. I just thought that as long as it wasn't someone like Liang Yan who controlled the government, even Ruan Lu, who had suffered defeat at the beginning, was good.
Ruan Lu entered the palace on the second day and sealed it, and the little emperor who had been bullied by Liang Yan for the past year was hidden by the Empress Dowager's former father-in-law Liu yesterday, and was brought out at dawn today.
That father-in-law Liu also received Ruan Lu's letter, and this is the right thing to do.
The little emperor was still terrified when he saw Ruan Lu, but he had to give Ruan Lu a seal according to what Liu Gonggong taught.
And soon the world will change, but to the unbelievable feeling of the ministers, Ruan Lu did not have a bad relationship with Bei Liang. He even sent treasures, told himself about being the regent, and even said that he would send things to the people of Beiliang according to the previous number.
It wasn't until noon that he went down to the court, and Ruan Lu went to the former eldest princess's mansion.
The tall lintels of the past are now in tatters, the walls that have not been painted are mottled, and the windows are tattered because they have not been pasted with new veil.
In the past, the mansion of maids and slaves was like a cloud, but it was as desolate as a desolate tomb.
When he went, he saw Yun Dou'er and a few grandmothers still in the mansion, and a white-haired woman was lying on the ground teasing the crickets.
Ruan Lu threw himself on his knees, "Mother." ”
Everyone looked back, and Yun Dou'er burst into tears, "Your Royal Highness, are you back?" ”
The dusty woman who was lying on the ground slowly raised her head, looking at Yun Dou'er with a pair of wooden and empty eyes, but suddenly became extremely excited, "Where is His Royal Highness?" Where is my son? ”
Ruan Lu knelt down and leaned towards his mother step by step, "My son is too late to let you suffer such a big sin, and my son will definitely take good care of you in the future and make the woman who hurt you like this pay the price." ”
The eldest princess had already recognized Ruan Lulai, hugged Ruan Lu to death, and cried, "It's her, it's her who killed your father, she shed so much blood, and there was blood all over the ground......"
Ruan Lu couldn't help but think of Lian Zhi'er's face, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched.
And at this moment, the grief-stricken eldest princess fell to the ground and fainted.
Ruan Lu placed the eldest princess on the couch in the mansion, only asked people to invite a doctor, and then called Yun Dou'er in front of him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Has Mother always been like this?" ”
Yun Dou'er's face was full of tears. "But no, most of the time is confused, occasionally wake up, and only shout to see His Royal Highness the prince and the marquis, and over the years, the princess has to secretly and quietly help, otherwise the eldest princess will not survive."
Something seemed to shatter in Ruan Lu's eyes, "Stand down." ”
After Yun Dou'er retreated, he went to see his mother, but saw that she was already full of white hair, and she was already in the next life, even if she was alive, she was already running out of oil.
And at this moment, I saw a faint voice coming, "In the past year, because I had to confuse Liang Yan, I couldn't give my mother too much care, but I didn't expect to be so sick, so how can I feel at ease." ”
Ruan Lu raised his head, but saw Fu Yunhuang slowly walking in, with tears hidden in his dark eyes.
"Thank you." Ruan Lu's voice was still cold. "I'll give you the location of the Regent's Palace, and I'll give you everything you want."
"Is the prince really willing to give? As long as you promise one thing. Fu Yunhuang's eyes seemed a little complicated, "How?" ”
"I thought you were a smart man, but you are still stupid." Ruan Lu said slowly, "Didn't you just want this king to release that Shi Dye?" Look at you, you are still in the old love, and you are stupid. ”
Fu Yunhuang's face was pale, and his thin white teeth bit a bruise on his lips, "Yes, please agree." ”
Ruan Lu said slowly, "Okay, but this prince doesn't want to see him in the capital, so he can only exile him, whether he lives or dies, it's all up to him." ”
Fu Yunhuang hurriedly said, "But the people of Beiliang said that they must not hurt Shi Dye. ”
"Oh? That seemed to have to disappoint the woman, and since she did not take his beloved away, he would have to be slaughtered by the king. Ruan Lu sneered, "If you plead again, this king will ask for his head." ”
Fu Yunhuang suddenly didn't dare to say a word.
"This king married a side room in Luoyang, and he will enter Beijing tomorrow, and he will be the king's side concubine in the future." Ruan Lu's voice was cold, "Mother will be sad when she sees this mansion, let's move to the new mansion together, the emperor has rewarded a lot of gold and silver, just buy things." ”
Fu Yunhuang nodded, "Okay." ”
******
Shi Ran was not imprisoned in the prison, but in the regent palace of Liang Yan, and when Ruan Lu went to raid the palace, he went to see Shi Ran by the way.
When he entered, he saw Shi Ran sitting on a chair drinking tea, still holding a book in his hand.
"Lord Shi is so leisurely, it's really jealous." Ruan Lu's voice was full of sarcasm, "When Lian Zhi'er left Beijing that day, you stopped their carriage, but she didn't see you. ”
"So you saw it that day." Shi Ran said slowly, "Does the prince also have something to tell her?" It's a shame you still didn't show up in front of her, did you? ”
"What did you say to that guy named Ah Zeng that day?" Ruan Lu asked slowly, "This king is very curious. ”
"I asked him to tell Lian Zhi'er that I would definitely go to Beiliang to find her in the future." Shi Ran said slowly.
And it was this sentence, but Ah Zeng didn't dare to tell Lian Zhi'er, he was afraid that she would fall into endless waiting, and he was afraid that Shi Ran would break her word, so that her voice would not be happy.
So Lian Zhi'er didn't know this sentence from beginning to end, and only thought that the two would never see each other again.
"It's a pity, you're going to break your word in this life." Ruan Lu smiled cruelly, "Let your eternal heaven and man be separated forever, which is the first great gift that the son of this world will give you, how about it?" ”
Shi Ran's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Ruan Lu without fear, "Don't hurt her, she has always been the most innocent person." ”
"She's the one who can't be written." Ruan Lu's eyes became more and more fierce, "This king will exile you, but he will not let you live." ”
