Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 201 Seeking Foreign Aid
It is said that after leaving the palace, Ke Ran pondered and meditated in his mansion all night, trying to clarify what the relationship between these piles and piles of things was.
Since the change of Qianyuan Palace, Fat Kui was specially recruited into the palace to make snacks for the emperor, how did the emperor know that there was such a number one person as Fat Kui in Qingshan Academy? Fat Kui is extremely low-key on weekdays, let alone the emperor, and even the major restaurants in the capital may not know Fat Kui's craftsmanship.
Who brought those dragon withers from foreign lands? Why did it end up in the Imperial Dining Room? According to Du Shaoyin, they added dragon dry when making dim sum, and it was clear that the people in the imperial dining room were present, and they had long known that this spice existed, but they turned around and went to the forbidden army to complain.
Why did King Yu and Xuan Shaoning come back suddenly? If the emperor summoned them back to Beijing, why would they arrange it in Chengyuan Palace unknowingly, and only the three of them were present? The court meeting is usually held in the Ming Yuan Palace, why did King Xiang change the location to the Chengyuan Palace on the same day, is it to create evidence that everyone was present?
Also, the Qianyuan Palace became a rebellion against the Imperial Forest Guards, so what role did Chen Yuanzhi and his forbidden army play in it? How can he be seen in the next thing?
"Ahh How many people and how many things are involved? Who's behind all this? ”
Yan Keran has always boasted that he has a smart brain, and in the face of the complicated situation in the court and the imperial city, he can't admit that his brain is no longer enough. In addition to these fame, fortune and power entanglements, there is also a relationship that makes Yan Keran in a dilemma the most.
felt that she had entered Yun Xuan's heart, she was already able to open her heart to herself, she smiled at herself, but once Xuan Shaoning appeared, everything changed! Yun Xuan only has Xuan Shaoning in her eyes, even if she is an enemy of everyone, she is on Xuan Shaoning's side!
"Promise me that you must do your best to rescue Captain Xuan!"
Yun Xuan's words were still in his ears, and Yan Ke Ran was tossing and turning all night. How easy is it to save Xuan Shaoning? He was a criminal who poisoned the emperor and was locked up in Dali Temple, where ordinary people can go? He is just a captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, and he has almost no intersection with Dali Temple on weekdays. I could still rely on Mu Qingyuan before, but he is no longer there, and even Uncle Mu can't afford to be sick.
The sky was not completely bright, and Yan Keran, who had almost been sleepless all night, jumped up from the bed, changed into civilian clothes and hurriedly went out, but what came out was the side door of Yanfu.
The shortcuts that Yan Keran copied were all sparsely populated alleys, but the distance was shortened a lot. When Yan Keran had just arrived at Lengyuezhai, the little servants were still yawning and were just about to open the door and sweep the court. The little guy opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and after a long time he finally recognized the person.
"Captain Yan?"
"Don't ask more, I'll go upstairs to find Wantong immediately, you just do your own business!"
Yan Keran hurriedly went upstairs and directly pushed Qi Wantong's room open, and before anyone stepped in, a dart had already been nailed to the door frame, no more than an inch away from Yan Keran's face.
Qi Wantong's arm hadn't been lowered yet, her green hair was scattered behind her back, and when she saw someone coming, her expression changed from the original vigilance to annoyance.
"Yan Keran, why are you also Jing Zhaoyin's son, the dignified captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, and you don't know how to knock on the door when you enter the girl's boudoir?"
"Wantong, your strength is really enough, but the head is a little bit off."
"If you have the right head, your life will be gone. I don't want to be burdened with the debt of killing my classmates and court officials! ”
"I'm so reckless, and there is a reason for being reckless." Yan Keran entered the house and closed the door casually, "I'm here to ask you for help." ”
"What?"
"Shaoning, he has now become a criminal who poisoned the emperor and is locked up in Dali Temple. If we can't come to the rescue, he will probably become a victim of the power struggle and become the real culprit who poisoned the emperor. ”
Qi Wantong, who was sitting in front of the dresser combing her hair, stopped what she was doing, her eyes widened in the mirror, and she was quite puzzled by Yan Keran's words.
"Poisoning the emperor? Shaoning has always been in the southeast, how can he have anything to do with poisoning the emperor? I thought about it, it was the kind of spice you asked me to investigate before, and the emperor was poisoned because of overdose? ”
"You guessed right, but unfortunately you didn't guess the result correctly. The emperor was not poisoned, but poisoned to death. ”
Qi Wantong almost bounced up from her chair, and she finally realized the seriousness of this matter.
"Didn't Fat Kui and Shaoyin entrust you with this matter of Long Ku? Where are they now? Shaoning has always been on the southeast front, why don't you notify us if he returns to Beijing? ”
"I'll answer your first question first, Fat Kui and Shaoyin were also locked up in Dali Temple because of poisoning at this time, and they are still alive. As for the second question, then we all have to ask Shao Ning, he secretly returned to Beijing with King Yu privately, just this one, do you think people can not suspect him? ”
For some reason, as soon as Xuan Shaoning was mentioned, Yan Keran's emotions became excited. I really don't know why? In fact, Yan Keran knew it in his heart, but he was always reluctant to admit it, let alone show it in front of Qi Wantong.
Even if Yan Keran deliberately concealed it, his emotional changes still couldn't escape Qi Wantong's eyes.
"So, do you believe him? Can you do it without doubting him? ”
Facing Qi Wantong's inquiry, Yan Keran suddenly lost his confidence, he wanted to say, "Of course I believe him!" But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
Silence, damn silence, the room was so quiet that even the gasps of each other could be heard. Liang Jiuyan Ke Ran finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Wantong, I'm here today to discuss with you, how to rescue the three of them?"
"It's not enough to rely on the two of us alone, we need more people, so can we ask the master to help?"
When Yan Keran heard the master's name, a burst of guilt immediately surged in his heart, "Do you know, on the day of the celebration, the master and Senior Brother Chu Jing also entered the Qianyuan Palace, but it's a pity that Senior Brother Chu Kuang, like my father, didn't come out alive. ”
Qi Wantong grabbed Yan Keran's arm, and her tone became softer, "I already know about this, but my heart has already told me." We are weak in the capital, and without the help of the academy, it will be difficult for us to rescue them. ”
Weak? Qi Wantong was right, Yan Keran had to admit that the house was full of friends because of his father, after his father passed away, there were obviously a lot fewer guests at home, and his mother was seriously ill for so many days, and he didn't see anyone who had come to visit him. Don't blame the hot and cold world, just blame yourself for not being able enough!
"Kexin, when you talked about Kexin, I remembered, she came to you?"
"That's right, just a few days ago, Ke Xin had been trapped in the academy before, the capital was under martial law, she couldn't come back, and after the capital was unblocked, she brought back the news of the academy as soon as possible. The master was once detained in the palace for half a month, and then the master could bring the body of Senior Brother Chu Guo back to the academy. ”
"Half a moon? This is about the same time as martial law in the capital, so, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yu once said that they would enter the palace immediately after returning from the southeast, and the time was exactly the time of martial law in the capital, is there any connection to this? ”
"After martial law is lifted in the capital, the master can transport Senior Brother Chu Guo back to the academy; Kexin can return to the capital; At the same time, Shaoning is also likely to return to Beijing. The timing of this series coincides with the time of martial law in the capital, do you think it will be a coincidence? ”
"So the key is that this is half a month, what happened during this time?"
"Ke Ran, you are the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, and you have been staying in the palace for half a month, and you should know best what is happening in the palace. Silent Yan used to complain before, you feel like you're missing! Right now, if you want to save people, you can only rob the prison. ”
"Prison robbery? Are you crazy! That's Dali Temple, and I'm an official of the imperial court! ”
"Then you stay out of the matter and keep your official position! Now that you've told me about it, I'm going to save the three of them! ”
"Wantong, that's not what I meant! I'm just saying that the risk of doing this is too great, and in the event of an accident, not only will you not be able to save people, but you will also fold yourself in! ”
"Even if it's folded in, I'll not hesitate to do it!"
Qi Wantong and Yan Keran looked towards the door together, this shout came from outside the door, so the conversation between the two was heard!
Yan Keran quickly opened the door, but what he saw was Xiao Moyan with a serious face. Yan Keran felt that Xiao Moyan's eyes had changed when he looked at him, which seemed to imply dissatisfaction and blame, but he was not sure, after all, Xiao Moyan was the person who had been talking to him since he was a child, and the relationship between the two of them was the most intimate among his classmates.
"Silent Words!"
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, you are talking too loudly, if it weren't for the fact that Leng Yuezhai hadn't opened the door to welcome guests at this time, wouldn't it be asking for trouble for others to listen to your words?"
Xiao Moyan walked into the room and said to the two: "The three of them, we must save them, and I have already thought of a way to save them!" ”
