Chapter 168: Pretending to be like this
Finally, it was the day when the eldest grandson Yan was going to come to the Xiangwang Mansion in person. Everything in the palace has been arranged, although the king of Xiang did not give any other orders, but presumably the few people in the palace who knew that the wind and rain were coming, were in a fluctuating mood.
At noon, Yuran was sitting on the edge of the eldest grandson Wanran's bed, peeling citrus for her, and said a little leisurely: "Wanran, I don't think you need to get up today." Your wound is a little deep, and it will definitely hurt you to death if you move, and then the wound will open again. ”
The eldest grandson's face was not good, and she had a cushion behind her waist so that she could sit up a little.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wanran was twisting her eyebrows, there was a little more panic in her originally watery eyes, her lips looked dry, she shook her head lightly and said, "How can this be?" In case of...... In case the king blames it. ”
"Why do you think An Jun will blame you? You were seriously injured to save the Sixth Prince, and he should not only blame you, but also thank you. Tamaran said matter-of-factly.
When the eldest grandson heard this, her eyes drooped even lower, and she murmured in a low voice, "I didn't ...... If it weren't for my drag, Nanyu, you wouldn't be hurt. ”
"You can't say that." Yu Ran smiled and didn't say anything more.
In short, the manpower was ready, and Tamazen had no intention of attending.
Yu Ran walked outside the courtyard of the eldest grandson, nominally to breathe and then go in, but in fact, she saw Qin Xi who was walking towards her.
"We got a message just now, and we detained a person arranged by Changsun Yan. This person is timid by nature, and soon said that the eldest grandson Yan would let them do it when the cup landed. Qin Xi's tone was steady, and his face was heavy.
Yu Ran nodded, his eyes were distant and clear, "Okay, you don't have to tell Eldest Sun Hong or the prince about this matter, let's act according to the original plan." Remember, assassinate the prince, but don't really hurt anyone. ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
As long as the assassin is replaced by the person of the Red Moon Pavilion and let them assassinate the King of Xiang instead, then Presumably An Jun will also be confused, and he will not be able to press the guilt on the King of Xiang in front of everyone.
Only by proving that King Xiang is the one who is being targeted by others in front of everyone can An Jun not be able to act for the time being.
That night, the eldest grandson Yan and the queen Liu arrived on time, and everyone in the house greeted each other at the gate of the mansion and bowed down.
In addition to the eldest grandson Yan and the queen, there were actually only a few acquaintances who came to the mansion, namely Prime Minister Yuyuan, Shangshu Xie Jianbai and Shilang Xie Yiyuan. After all, this was originally a family banquet, and it was enough to invite a few high-ranking courtiers to accompany him.
The place where the Xiangwang Mansion arranges the banquet is a pavilion with the best scenery, the first floor of the pavilion looks out is the garden of the Xiangwang Mansion, the plum blossoms bloom in the garden, compete with each other, the faint fragrance wisps, and the flowing water trickles, lingering and flowing, such a scene is eye-catching, it seems that it can sweep away a little chill.
At a long table, the person sitting on the main seat is naturally Changsun Yan, and on the two sides below it are Yuyuan and Changsun Yi, Yuyuan is sitting next to Xie Jianbai and Xie Yiyuan, and Changsun Yi is sitting next to Changsun Hong.
"Your Excellency, the courtier's daughter was injured a few days ago, and she is still recuperating today, so it is inconvenient to attend to meet your lord, and I hope that your lord is not strange." Sun Yi, the eldest king of Xiang, spoke first, and his attitude was still steady.
Eldest Sun Yan glanced at the seat intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a slight narrowing of his eyes: "The daughter is injured and knows about it. But Lone heard that the prince's mansion rescued a woman more than a month ago? ”
"Back to you, that's true. However, the girl was also injured like the little girl, so she did not attend for fear of disturbing the king. Changsun Yi said in a deep voice.
"That's right...... That's a shame. The eldest grandson said meaningfully.
The eldest grandson fell asleep, and Yuran felt bored after staying in the house for a while, so he walked out into the courtyard.
In the dark night, the white dove flapped its wings and landed on the stone table in the courtyard, and it kept pecking at the top of the stone table, sometimes beating twice.
Yuran's left shoulder felt a lot better today, and it didn't matter if it moved at least slightly. She removed the small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and poured out the note.
Her gaze swept over the note, then her brow furrowed.
Yu Ran walked out of the courtyard gate of the eldest grandson Wanran, and after only a few steps, he felt a cool breeze suddenly hit behind his neck.
Yu Ran hurriedly turned away, and when she turned her head, she saw a man in black standing behind her, who seemed to just want to knock her unconscious with a hand knife just now, but did not draw her sword.
Just when Yuran saw that he was about to continue his movements, a person in a crimson dress ran behind Yuran suddenly, and drew his sword with a "Zheng-" sound, the sword body was sharp, bright and shining in the moonlight, the woman in red was entangled with the man in black, and then quickly picked off the long sword of the man in black, grabbed the man in black, and then slashed the neck of the man in black with the hilt of the knife, making him faint immediately.
Yu Ran looked at the black-clothed man who was left unconscious in front of her, and then looked at the woman in red who walked in front of her and immediately knelt down on one knee, her eyes were a little gentle, "Su Jiu, you came really in time." ”
The red-clothed person who came was Su Jiu, she stood up, held her sword and waved at Yuran, "Your Highness, Su Jiu is almost late." ”
"Don't worry, I don't think he meant to kill me." Yu Ran stared at the man in black who fell to the ground, and said with a slight reduction in his eyes.
"Does Your Highness know his identity?" Su Jiu asked.
Yuran's eyes seemed to be a little more bright, her eyes were as black and shining as obsidian under the moonlight, and the corners of her lips were still smiling, but her expression seemed to be a little more unfathomable.
"At this time, there is only one person who will find a way to crack my technique." Tamarye's smile was deep.
"It's Rong Gongzi!" Su Jiu reacted immediately.
Yuran nodded, "If it weren't for the fact that you arrived just in time, he hadn't reacted immediately, and I guess it wasn't just me who was knocked unconscious by now." Intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Ran turned her head to look at the closed door behind her, "—I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”
The purpose of Rong Xi is to make a mess in the Xiang Palace, and since Yu Ran wants them to live, Rong Xi will definitely intervene.
The note that Yu Ran had just received said that there might be other people among the people arranged by the Red Moon Pavilion, and Yu Ran understood it at a glance.
"Your Highness, I'll go and count the people I've arranged!" Su Jiu frowned.
Yu Ran shook his head, his eyes bright, "It shouldn't be too late for you to count now, otherwise the people who will attack me won't choose to sneak attack me at this time." ”
"Now ......"
"Su Jiu, did you have anything with a disguise when you came?" Yuran's pupils moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his eyes and asked.
Su Jiu nodded and said, "Bring it, Your Highness, are you going to use it now?" ”
"Yes, you give me the things, and then go and get more people to guard this place." Yu Ran said thoughtfully.
Su Jiu glanced at the assassin who was still lying on the ground before leaving, she frowned and asked, "What is Your Highness going to do with this person?" ”
Yuran seemed to glance at it casually, and then her eyes gradually deepened, she smiled lightly, and her charm was also natural, she said: "Kill him, don't let Wanran notice anything." ”
Yu Ran decided to be decisive, if there were already pros and cons in front of her, Yu Ran would not hesitate. What's more, this person wants to kill the eldest grandson Wanran, the eldest grandson Wanran treats the jade very well, and treats her as a friend, the eldest grandson Wanran believes in her, how can she ignore the safety of the eldest grandson Wanran.
Yu Ran walked out of the courtyard gate of the eldest grandson Wanran one step ahead of Su Jiu, she went back to her room, she would not expose her face to Anjun Changsun Yan, the best choice now is for her to try her best to pretend to be the eldest grandson Wanran. It's just that of course, she can't dress exactly the same right now, so she has to make the outlines of her eyebrows and eyes roughly similar, and then wear a veil to cover them.
After Su Jiu finished what Yu Ran had ordered, he immediately rushed back to Yu Ran.
The eldest grandson Wanran was still nominally injured, and Yu Ran asked Su Jiu to change into a simple dress, and then let Su Jiu hold her tightly with both hands through Yu Ran's right arm. Then Yuran bowed down a little more, pretending to be faltering.
Changsun Hong sat impatiently at the banquet, he put the wine glass to his lips and gently sipped it, a pair of narrow eyes seemed to sweep over Anjun Changsun Yan's face intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were heavy and sharp, it seemed that as long as possible, he really wanted to kill Changsun Yan thousands of times.
The eldest grandson Hong's anger was heavy, and the father sitting next to him thought that he knew his son best.
Changsun Yi turned his head sideways, stared at Changsun Hong carefully, and then drank as if he was nothing.
was warned by his father like this, Changsun Hong didn't know whether to smile bitterly: Just like Nanyu said, even if I hate the king again, I can't get past my father.
Eldest Sun Hong had been worried from the beginning of the banquet, because he had heard Yu Ran's evaluation of it, and it was enough to hear that this banquet was a trap at all, but he didn't know what An Jun wanted to do now.
At the moment when he began to be distracted, a touch of silver white flickered from the corner of his eye, which made Changsun Hong turn his head suddenly, he fixed his eyes, and sure enough, there were two people standing in the garden outside, and the silver-white figure instantly caught his sight.
The plum blossoms bloom very well, which is a completely different color from the jade-dyed snow-white dress, and the woman's jet-black hair looks particularly soft and shiny in the moonlight. Because of the veil on the woman's face, only the eyebrows and eyes are exposed, the phoenix eyes are silent and gentle, and the eyebrows are also indescribably quiet.
The eldest grandson Hong didn't know the person who was holding the jade dye, but he could tell at a glance that the veiled woman was the jade dye.
Yuran was supported by Su Jiu, and walked to the first floor of the pavilion with "difficulty", her forehead was faintly sweating, and it seemed that her eyes showed a look of tiredness and pain, and she said before everyone else spoke: "It's like seeing the king and the queen." ”
As she spoke, Yuran seemed to want to kneel down and salute, but her movements were really stiff, so after looking at Yuran deeply, Changsun Yan waved his hand to dispense with etiquette.
