Chapter 8 Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

"What's wrong with Ming'an?"

King Yan replied to the question, and glanced at His Highness lightly, his sharp eyes revealed a majestic and indifferent light, and he was watching Yan Wuji's reaction.

Yan Wuji was speechless, looking at Su Luanyin with a smile, no one saw him clenching his fists, and there was a cold breath in his pupils, but he refused to expose it.

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has checked the condition of General Su, and it is quite tricky at present."

"What's wrong with my father?"

Su Luanyin's face turned cold, and he hurriedly asked without caring about rudeness, and interrupted Lu Qinghe's words stiffly.

"County Lord, General Su was poisoned before entering the palace, and now he is escorted back to the house, don't worry, the end will always follow up on this matter."

"My father has always been cautious, how could he suddenly be poisoned? Got a clue? ”

Su Luanyin swallowed her saliva in panic, an ominous premonition lingered in her heart, and the picture of "Crying Beauty to the Moon" at home suddenly flashed in her mind, and then she looked at Yan Wuji.

"Su Luanyin, do you suspect that this king is behind the ghost?"

Yan Wuji tugged at the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

"Luan Yin, everything comes first and comes first, I want to hear what you have to say about Wuji's assassination."

Yan Lefan knocked lightly on the throne, obviously not satisfied with Su Luanyin's random speculation about whether Yan Wuji had something to do with Su Ming'an's poisoning, he moved, and his eyes became more and more cold and deep.

"Your Majesty, the assassination of the Seventh Prince was only witnessed by Yu Pei, and the jade pendant was given to me by Luan Yin earlier, Le Heng dared to say that this matter has nothing to do with Luan Yin, as for Yu Pei...... I accidentally lost it a few days ago, and I don't rule out that someone deliberately framed me, and I hope that the king and the prince will check it clearly! ”

Le Heng replied without saying a word, and clenched Su Luanyin's hand even more, he glanced back at her, signaling her to be relieved.

But Su Luanyin didn't want Le Heng to go to this troubled water, but now that he said it, wouldn't he have to give up all his efforts, she pushed Le Heng away with a heart, bowed her head and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the jade pendant is the people's daughter's, and it has nothing to do with others, and the people's daughter is willing to confess her guilt in the assassination of the Seventh Prince!" ”

"Ayin! How do you..."

Le Heng stopped her in shock.

"Ah Heng, I know you want to protect me, but one person does things and one person does everything, and they all blame me for wanting to take revenge on the Seventh Prince......"

Su Luanyin pretended to be indifferent, her eyes were slightly red and looked at Le Heng, her picturesque delicate eyebrows and eyes were sad, and Le Heng's heart instantly pinched.

Yan Wuji looked at this farce-like funny scene coldly, he was actually a little jealous of Le Heng, and wanted to ask him how He De could get Su Luanyin's life, whether he had to defend him.

Thinking like this, he was even more angry, bent down and pulled the jade pendant on Su Luanyin's waist, and raised it in the air to show everyone, and said coldly and indignantly: "There are all human and material evidence, Su Luanyin is the murderer!" It's a shame that this king still wants to give you a chance to mend your ways, it seems that you don't need it! ”

As soon as the jade pendant was loosened, Yan Wuji threw it on the hall at the beginning, and the crisp and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the empty Dragon Palace, Su Luanyin and Le Heng couldn't help but be frightened, Yan Lefan got up, as if sighing, but still said lightly: "In this case, put Su Luanyin in prison, and make a decision in three days!" ”

The jade pendant has been shattered, and it is no longer crystal clear at that time, and the brilliance is flowing, like a broken moonlight leaking to the ground, Su Luanyin reached out to take it, Le Heng hurriedly stopped it, and comforted him distressedly: "Ayin, the jade pendant is gone, it will be gone, I will send you a new one another day... But why are you so stupid, you didn't do it. ”

"Ah Heng, you're fine..."

Su Luanyin smiled bitterly, and there was no regret on her delicate snow-white face.

In fact, she was not distressed about the torn jade pendant, but worried about the future of herself and Le Heng.

Yan Wuji is capricious, so it's better to draw a line earlier.

"Lord Luanyin, let's go."

Lu Qinghe's tall figure approached, Su Luanyin was reluctant to part with Le Heng, but turned back step by step: "Ah Heng, help me take care of my father." ”

"Don't worry."

Le Heng nodded, his eyes were full of sorrow, watching Su Luanyin disappear in front of the gorgeous palace with a tall and slender figure, for the first time in his life, he felt that he was cowardly and incompetent, knowing that Su Luanyin was wronged but there was nothing he could do, he could only watch her fall into prison for himself......

The majestic imperial city is brightly lit, the people in the palace on the cold and prosperous palace road are in a hurry and orderly, Le Heng is walking briskly alone, his forehead is full of cold sweat, he buries his head, and Su Luanyin's beautiful and moving smile is in his mind, especially the tear mole, a smile adds charm, and it is an unforgettable elegance in a lifetime.

Inside the Qiyue Palace.

The magnificent, fragrant inner hall, under the dim and gentle candlelight, a slender figure, charming eyes like silk black hair and red clothes half lying on the black and bright ebony couch.

"Chiluo, what happened in the palace today?"

Shangguan Ruoli lifted her hair and turned around, while looking at the Dan that had just been painted.

The palace maid named Chiluo is twenty-eight years old, with a shrewd and shrewd appearance, she stood in front of Shangguan Ruoli respectfully, bowed her head and lowered a rose-red embroidered handkerchief: "Niangniang, I heard that the seventh prince was assassinated on the road, and the murderer was actually the county lord of the Su family, and now it is rumored that the palace has a nose and eyes." ”

"Say what?"

Her sexy red lips pursed a playful smile.

"Some say that Lord Luanyin was deliberately framed by people with ill intentions, and some say that she is not a drunkard who does not mean to drink."

Chiro continued, a thoughtful smile on his lips.

"Will she look up to the seventh?" Shangguan Ruoli laughed vividly, threw away the handkerchief disdainfully, and his eyebrows were full of sarcasm, and then said in a mean tone: "Old Seventh ****, if you don't learn and don't know, then Su Luanyin is one of the smartest people in the imperial city, will you look up to him?" Laughing at the main palace! ”

Chi Luo also laughed, which was regarded as echoing Shangguan Ruoli's meaning.

"But what does the king think?"

"There are all human and material evidence, and the Seventh Prince is biting tightly, I think that the lord of Luanyin County is more auspicious and less - there is one more thing, Le Heng, who was her childhood sweetheart, also entered the palace, but unfortunately General Su was suddenly poisoned and did not say anything about the king."

"Eventful!" Shangguan Ruoli scolded with a smile, a fierce light shot out of his eyes, "This palace thinks this may be a good opportunity." ”

"What do you mean?"

Shangguan Ruoli didn't answer immediately, she walked to the door with a skirt and lotus steps, she looked at it, it was dark outside, and it was full of stars, so she ordered Chi Luo: "Go and stop Le Heng, this palace wants to see her." ”

Shangguan Ruoli's tone was firm, his face was full of seriousness, Chi Luo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately left Qiyue Palace quickly, but the huge imperial city was as big as the ocean, and there was no trace of Le Heng.

After walking a few steps, the maids of the three or two palaces, who usually chatted together, ran over, and when they saw Chi Luo's anxious expression, they asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

"A few sisters helped, but did you ever see a young man who entered the palace in the afternoon to meet the king... Came to intercede for Lord Luanyin? ”

Chi Luo touched the sweat on his head, panted and asked, and rolled up his sleeves to give out a few pieces of broken silver.

The faces of several palace maids looked a lot better, and they talked nonsense.

Chi Luo didn't waste any time, and hurriedly chased after a nearby avenue.

Fortunately, Le Heng has not left the palace yet, and when Chi Luo found him, Le Heng looked lost and depressed, and he was still in a state for a long time when he heard his name.

"Girl?"

Le Heng furrowed his brows and looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him.

"Didn't you want to save Lord Luanyin? Come with me. ”

Chi Luo directly pulled Le Heng's wrist and grabbed him without saying anything.

Le Heng stopped suspiciously, and took two steps back vigilantly: "What are you doing here?" ”

"The concubine can help you."

Chi Luo got straight to the point and glanced at the frightened Le Heng.

Le Heng suddenly realized, and when he thought of Su Luanyin's situation, he followed Chiluo without any scruples.

When he arrived at Qiyue Palace, there was a noble, thick and steady man sitting in the inner hall, his appearance was slightly longer than that of Le Heng, and Shangguan Ruoli was smiling and handing him tea: "Uncle Huang, this is the snow willow paid tribute by the Western Regions, the taste is mellow, and it is unforgettable to drink." ”

Le Heng stepped in, and saw that the man was in a green shirt and brocade robe, with long hair like a waterfall, with a graceful and graceful appearance, eyebrows and eyes, and a mature demeanor at a glance, unlike ordinary laymen, and heard Shangguan Ruoli call him the emperor's uncle, and suddenly thought that King Yan still had a third-ranked brother, named Yan, and his title was Fengchang.

"You've got a heart."

Yan Ru didn't smile, took a sip of the white jade ice pattern teacup, and then symbolically admired, seeing Le Heng come in, he looked at it with interest for a while, and said, "Le family son? Come here for the Lord of Luanyin. ”

His words were more like asking Shangguan Ruoli what he meant.

"Le Heng see the prince of Fengchang, the concubine Niangniang."

Le Heng bowed, his expression was generous and frank, as in the past.

"You're smart."

Yan Ru was stunned, and her heroic and healthy facial features were instantly dyed with charming light and shadow, and she smiled lightly: "Niangniang wants this king to help him?" ”

"Uncle Huang's words are wrong, and helping him also betray the Su family is a favor, isn't it?"

Shangguan Ruoli smiled deeply and said bluntly.

Le Heng smiled, he understood that Shangguan Ruoli would rashly help because he had taken a fancy to the Su family's status in the imperial court and planned to ascend to the throne in the future - after all, it had been ten years since the death of the first empress, and she should be the best candidate for the new queen of Wu Qiuguo.

However, she was reluctant to take action in person, but to win over Yan Ru for her own use, naturally she had other concerns, and Le Heng couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Le Heng, you are infatuated with the Lord of Luanyin, and this king is very moved, but why do you want this king to help you on the cusp?"

Yan Ru put down the teacup, leaned back lazily, and stared at Le Heng with a blank face funny.

Le Heng looked at Shang Yan with narrow and bewitching phoenix eyes, although he smiled faintly, his eyes that were more amorous than a woman were actually piercing and cold, like a slippery and treacherous old fox in the play.

"Le Heng is stupid, I hope the prince and the mother will mention it."

Le Heng frowned again, his handsome face full of worry.

He is not really stupid and ignorant, according to the current situation, Yan Ru and Shangguan Ruoli "colluded" to help him on the surface, but in fact they asked for two benefits, one is the Su family who is clearly on the table, and the other is the Lejia who has been in business for generations.

"Huh." Yan Ru snorted lightly, he knew that Le Heng was asking knowingly, so he simply spoke directly: "This king has a batch of goods, and he wants to transport them from the imperial city to Tianluo Pass, it should be an honor for the Le family to help, right?" ”

And so it was!

Le Heng said silently in his heart.

"It is indeed an honor for Lejia to be favored by the prince, I don't know what the goods the prince wants to escort?"

"A batch of medicinal herbs."

Yan Ruyun was light and light, and took another sip of snow willow tea.

Le Heng saw that Yan Ru was indifferent, but he was uneasy, if it was just an ordinary medicinal material, it was only a hundred miles away from the imperial city to the Heavenly Wolf, and it was more reliable to directly find the Zhang family who was the head of the bodyguard, but the Le family was more well-connected, and it was not good at transporting goods.

"Le Heng dared to ask, what kind of medicinal herb is it?"

Le Heng vaguely felt that there must be an ulterior secret in it, otherwise Yan Ru would not have to rush to the doctor to put her hope on Lejia.

"Think about Lord Luanyin, she is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she can't stand the slightest hardship."

Yan Ru opened the topic, and glanced at Shangguan Ruoli again, both of them smiled lightly, looking determined to win.

"Le Gongzi, those people in the prison are all rough people, General Su's life and death are uncertain, and the county lord has also been killed, they can quite see the wind and rudder, I'm afraid that the county lord will have a bad time tonight."

Shangguan Ruoli pushed the flames and tried to destroy the last shred of Le Heng's sanity, but in fact, she did get her wish.

Le Heng gritted his teeth, looked at the two of them who sang and harmonized, and said word by word: "I promise you, when will Ayin come out." ”

"Le Gongzi is really refreshing, this king can guarantee that if the medicinal materials are transported to the Heavenly Wolf along the way, you will be able to see Su Luanyin unscathed in three days."

Yan Ru smiled with satisfaction and handed Le Heng a cup of tea.

"It's a deal."

Le Heng took it and said firmly. Then drink the tea in one gulp.

"It's a deal."

Yan nodded, the corners of her eyes were sharp.

Through his eyes, Le Heng saw clearly the sharp ambition hidden in the deep and dark water, which was like a silver dagger, and it was like sitting on pins and needles at a glance, and he couldn't sleep all night.

However, for the sake of Su Luanyin, Le Heng didn't care who Yan Ruyi's dagger was inserted into, Shangguan Ruoli, who was embarrassed? The arrogant and ruthless Yan Wuji? Or other royal families, he was not interested in knowing.

In the middle of the moon, Le Heng finally came out of the south gate, and the little guy who had been waiting for three hours finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that he was weak, he cautiously asked: "Childe, how are things?" ”

"That's it."

Le Heng got into the carriage, and only after he finished speaking did he breathe a sigh of relief, and after the horse neighed, he leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes tiredly.

The car was dark, the faint moonlight sprinkled on him through the gauze curtain, and the hazy beauty of the white long dress that could not be said in the shadows, he fell asleep quietly, his white and flawless skin was as soft as water, and his warm and handsome facial features were half-faded sorrow.
