Chapter 30: Death hangs by a thread
"Bastard thing!"
The lights of the night garden party are brilliant, in this huge capital, the most important thing is the royal scandal under the lively and peaceful and prosperous world, the people can't figure out a reason, why the good garden was suddenly canceled, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed towards the center of the lake, and it was a vigorous situation, the whole garden party was silent, no one could disobey the order of the Son of Heaven, and the speculation in the market was still unfinished, similar to General Chu did not want a beauty, the emperor sent someone to take him in a fit of anger, or the princess came to the garden party to catch the traitor in high spirits, was beaten by Mu Ruoying, so the emperor was angry and arrested the lord of Rong'an.
The emperor stood on the Jinluan Hall and was angry at Mu Jianran, the indisobedient majesty of the Son of Heaven Mu Ruoying saw it completely today, but Mu Ruoying thought to herself that if this matter can make a person who rules the world angry, I am afraid that this person will not have the ability to face the bloody storm that he will have to bear in the future. Mu Jianran knew that his head on the neck might not be guaranteed tonight, and he didn't expect to ask Mu Ruoying to excuse himself, so he had to count on Mu Jinghong's status in the court while worrying about whether he could keep his career smooth.
"Father... Father, Wanhua is not voluntary. ”
He Wanhua knew that this reason could not convince anyone, this matter was owed by the royal family to Chu Lingran, but she still wanted to struggle for the last second, praying that the man didn't care if she was innocent or not, she had truly loved him for many years, and that personable teenager back then was the best dream of her childhood. She said this to the man on the dragon chair, but those eyes looked at the man who leaned on the pillar of the Jinluan Hall without saying a word, and he couldn't even see anger on his face, his future wife was ...... with other men today But there was no trace of anger and distress on his face, he really didn't have the slightest emotion for himself, he was as cold as this brick, but why, his eyes were only tender to that woman, tossing and turning.
"If you still know some shame, shut up for me."
No one in the world knows that He Wanhua is the most beloved little princess of the emperor of the entire dynasty, she has been a beautiful guest since she was a child, and her talent is unique from all over the world, and she has earned enough vanity for the emperor that she has not gotten from her son, if she wants it since she was a child, there is nothing she can't get, today the emperor said to her the heaviest words in her life, the most ruthless emperor's family, in this huge deep palace, even if she is her, she can't escape such a fate, after that, how can she beg her father to marry herself to Chu Lingran again?
"Master Mu has arrived!"
Mu Ruoying was standing stupidly on the side of the Jinluan Palace, these disputes had nothing to do with her, she only needed to be a witness to stay out of the matter, but this Mu Jinghong came fast enough, it seems that there are a lot of his internal responses in the palace, he is still more serious about his only son, Mu Ruoying thinks things are getting more and more interesting, she really wants to be sure whether Mu Jinghong will gamble on his career for his son.
"Master Mu, this is the good son you raised. A few days ago, you wrote to me, saying that Mu Jianran has both ability and political integrity, but the important task of the household book, you want to be a three-grade position, I am grateful for your hard work when you assisted, and I also allowed you to play the folds, both ability and political integrity... You should tell me where virtue comes from! ”
Listening to the meaning of this, above this court, it is estimated that only the two kneeling on the ground can't hear what the emperor is referring to, Mu Jinghong has relied on his status in the court to do whatever he wants for a long time, and even to ask for a position of three products is a simple thing, if he admits today that he has no way to teach his son and get Mu Jianran's head, he can also take the blame and retire from his position as the right minister, if he insists on putting the fault on the two, his son's life will not be guaranteed, this step The emperor is a little smart, but it is a pity that he is in the emperor's family, Sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, he didn't realize that even his daughter's innocence could be exploited.
"The fault of the dyed child is the sin... Punished. ”
Mu Jinghong will never let the emperor succeed alone, the two have been fighting for more than five years, he has thought of a plan to deal with it on the way here, the emperor wants his son's head, how can he let go of his daughter's innocence? Even if he really doesn't care about He Wanhua's reputation, once the royal scandal becomes big, I am afraid that Mu Jinghong is not the only one who has no way to teach his son.
"Father! You want to save your son! ”
"Your Majesty, such a rebel, when the Queen of Autumn asks for beheading on the street outside the Xuanwu Gate, how can the royal dignity be insulted by him?"
Mu Jinghong's loyal and fearless drama was good, but Mu Jianran really didn't have any brains, and when he heard that Mu Jinghong was going to sacrifice himself, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He Wanhua reacted, if this matter is exposed, her reputation will be announced to the world, and Mu Jianran's life is now tied to herself... She must not let Mu Jian die.
"Father... I really love the son of the Mu family, daughter... The daughter was reluctant to marry General Chu and hoped that her father would be fulfilled. ”
The emperor naturally knew why He Wanhua suddenly changed his mind, yes, his country was stable, how could he make a little royal scandal? He really still failed to defeat Mu Jinghong, but as soon as this incident came out, He Wanhua was going to marry Mu Jianran on the same day... How should Chu Lingran gain a foothold? The news of his marriage has spread all over the capital, the royal marriage, how can it be child's play? In this way, how could Chu Lingran be willing to fight for him and recover Fuwan?
"Your Majesty, since the princess and Mu Gongzi are in love, Ling Ran has no choice but to fulfill it, and the minister and the martial artist are grateful to Your Majesty, and the minister only hopes to lead troops to suppress Dongying Xiaoxiao and win honor for our country."
Chu Lingran's "fulfillment", everything has been decided, Mu Jianran will marry He Wanhua on the same day, and the royal family and the Mu family have another implication, as for Chu Lingran five days later, he led 100,000 elite soldiers across the Yellow River and went east to Fuwan. The rumors that came out of the market were even more exciting than the tavern storytelling, Chu Lingran became the infatuated hero, he couldn't keep his beloved and sold his last bit of strength for his beloved's country, and even Mu Ruoying's comments on Chu Lingran who had tea and talked about things in the morning in the Jingxiu Pavilion were "Pitiful, pitiful." ”
Mu Jianran was beaten half to death by Mu Jinghong when he returned home that night, if it weren't for Mu Jingfei's intercession, he might have to lie in bed for more than a month, the marriage of the two of them was scheduled for the beginning of next month, Mu Ruoying was worried about it when she thought about it, Chu Lingran was obviously deliberately avoiding herself these days, and said that she couldn't meet her if she wanted to prepare for the affairs of the military camp, but in fact, she didn't want Mu Ruoying to accompany him to Dongying, the war was chaotic, and it was inevitable that she would be more dangerous to march as a woman, but Mu Ruoying had to go to Dongying with Chu Lingran no matter what, She intuitively felt that Chu Lingran's plan would not go well, and she was really a little uneasy about staying in the capital and waiting for his news.
"Miss, these days, there are too many officials in the court, big and small, who have come to give gifts to the master, I wanted to collect the inventory first, and wait for the spare time to reply to the post, but this gift was disrupted by the subordinates, how is this good?"
Ling'er has been busy with Mu Jianran's marriage in the past few days, Qingfeng is about to go with the army, and she can't accompany him to go with her, there are not many times when the two meet, she is the manager of Mu Mansion, and she has to work hard about the marriage, and it will make her look like this embarrassment when she hands it over to her subordinates.
"It's okay, Mu Jinghong is the right man in the court, and he won't be criticized if he doesn't reply to the post, you just need to take care of a few royal posts, tomorrow you go to the barracks to find Qingfeng."
Mu Ruoying looked at the girl's smile, she really couldn't hide her thoughts at all, she probably didn't even know how much she was sincere to Qingfeng. Mu Ruoying suddenly remembered that the prince had come to the mansion and was quite familiar with the housekeepers, could it be ......
"Ling'er, when you reply to the prince's post, ask him to meet in the stream and lake tomorrow night in Mu Jianran's tone and conspire with him."
"Yes, miss."
The relationship between the prince and Mu Jianran is by no means so simple, the prince was able to come to the Jingxiu Pavilion to find Mu Ruoying... And even know the name of the steward, he is definitely a little implicated in Mu Fu, Mu Jinghong disdains to conspire with a yellow-haired child, Mu Jianrao is not necessarily, since He Xiyou died, he is also dead to Mu Jinghong, his own way out should be planned by himself, it is not difficult to guess that the prince accepts guests, today I think about it, I can use the prince... Go and force Chu Lingran, if this is the case, that man will never take himself to a wild place.
The morning dew was steamed by the sun after the last trace of moisture, Ling'er got up early in the morning, and dragged Mu Ruoying, who was still asleep, to the barracks, since that day, Mu Ruoying and Chu Lingran have never met again, Mu Ruoying is angry and does not go to him, Chu Lingran even avoided her, it has been three days with the army, the two still live separately, but the breeze and Ling'er are very entangled, and Mu Ruoying has a headache.
"Ling'er, would you like to part with Qingfeng?"
"I don't want to, but... Miss, if you stay in the capital, I will never leave you, this battlefield is dangerous... I don't know if he'll be able to survive tomorrow......"
Ling'er said that her eyes were full of injuries, she was probably afraid that Qingfeng would have an accident, although Mu Ruoying and Qingfeng tried their best to hide from her what the danger of this battle was, but she knew in her heart that if Qingfeng returned victoriously, the entire dynasty would be turned upside down...... So she just wanted to cherish the last few days with him.
"Shall we accompany them to the crisis?"
"How could General Chu allow ......?"
"So, I'm going to use your beauty trick."
Mu Ruoying smiled sinisterly, Ling'er couldn't know the deep meaning in Mu Ruoying's smile, but she was willing, she knew that if she mentioned to Qingfeng that she wanted to go with him to go on the army, Qingfeng would also act like General Chu, but how could Miss let them? Miss is free in her heart, this scene... She will play it to the fullest.
"Breeze!"
Ling Er could tell from afar that the young man who was riding a horse and wearing Yang was Qingfeng, and the two of them had to talk about love on the training ground where the army was standing solemnly, Chu Lingran walked out of the military tent with a solemn expression that could not be disobeyed, until he saw Mu Ruoying, he had some warmth, as if he thought of something, and in a blink of an eye, he put on an expression that a woman could not enter the barracks. Mu Ruoying also pretended to be nothing, as the lord of Rong'an, the military salary of the 100,000 generals interpreted what she provided, she came to visit and check, Chu Lingran could never find a mistake. She strode up to Chu Lingran and squinted at him, with an expression that my official rank was one level higher than yours, just like in the tent. As for whether she can see the gentle and doting expressions of the people behind her, it's a later story.
"General Chu, can you report to me on the military pay and food when he goes out with the army?"
Mu Ruoying sat on Chu Lingran's main seat without fear, she didn't seem to know how to write about danger, a pair of innocent eyes evoked all the thoughts and feelings of the man standing in the corner of the military tent for the past three days, if it weren't for Mu Ruoying's insistence, how could he not want to hug her in the few days left? After all, if you go to say goodbye, you don't know if the world is heavy, and the end of the world is looking at each other.
"Ying'er, I miss you so much."
Chu Lingran picked Mu Ruoying up, sat on his lap, smelling the unique fragrance of osmanthus flowers on the restless person in his arms, accompanied by the cold charm of drinking alone under the moon, is she really a fairy scattered in the world? How much reluctance does he have for her, how can this conscienceless person understand? Even if he loses the hearts of the people and loses the country, he will not let Mu Ruoying have a chance to be hurt, so he will never take Mu Ruoying to Dongying.
"I know, so I'm coming to see you today."
Mu Ruoying's words are against her will, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she knows that Chu Lingran has no way to take herself, she only needs the prince's boat to push the boat, and she is bound to win this way. After scheming with Chu Lingran, he naturally had to gamble bigger......
"Breeze! I need you to do me a favor! ”
Ling'er is used to shouting at Qingfeng, and even the request is arrogant, Qingfeng only thinks it is cute, rubbing Ling'er's hair that she combed in the morning, her eyes are full of love for her, and she is reluctant to count the days.
"Okay, you say."
"When you get to the night, go and tell General Chu that my young lady is dying and you have to go to Xihu to save her."
This is familiar to Qingfeng, Mu Ruoying's rhetoric last time is not the same set, blatant use, that is, the general will tolerate her again and again, but every time she asks Ling'er to speak, the woman is sure that she can't refuse the innocent eyes of the woman in her arms, it is really a good intention.
"What are you going to do with the general?"
Qingfeng naturally knew that Mu Ruoying would never hurt Chu Lingran, but at this juncture, what did Mu Ruoying want Chu Lingran to do? If he is known by the general to stand with Mu Ruoying's gang, I am afraid that he will be the only candidate to be sent to the hall to be a spy for other countries next year.
"You don't need to know this, hehe, everything, it's in Miss's hands!"
