Chapter 35: The Storm Rises (1)
In the blink of an eye, it was early spring, warm and cold, and flowers were beginning to bloom. And Su Ruan was originally a woman, and she was once Dugu Lianyu's side concubine, and the man disguised himself as a woman in order to avenge Dugu Lianyu, and rumors such as the scourge of Chaogang spread in Dayansheng at some point, and gradually the rumors intensified, and there were tangled people at the foot of the imperial city to demonstrate.
"Your Majesty, the rumors have intensified, for the sake of Dayan's stability, please ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible. The minister kneeling in the temple said bitterly.
"Does Master Young Master mean to hand over Zuo Xiang to the people to dispose of?" Chu Ze said coldly. It's ridiculous, Dayan's current stability and prosperity can be said to have most of the credit is unparalleled, and these people don't know that they are pretending to be stupid here.
"In today's situation, Lord Shangshu doesn't know, if you don't hand over the left minister, how can this chaos be calmed?"
Dugu Liancheng glanced at the ministers who were drooping their eyes, and his slightly dull eyes fell coldly on the high-spirited ministers who knelt down on His Highness.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo has done his best for the people of the court since he became an official, and I ask the emperor to think twice. Ruan Shiqing said urgently.
"Your Majesty, now that Ming Qi is about to move, he will harass my Dayan Frontier from time to time, this rumor is uneven, and I am afraid that it will become a disaster. ”
The words just fell, and the ministers who were originally silent echoed one after another, Chu Ze was secretly gritting his teeth in annoyance, it is true that the border between Dayan and Ming Qi is not very peaceful now, if Ming Qi takes the opportunity to rise, I am afraid that the consequences will indeed be unimaginable, so he can only quickly find a way to control the rumors, but he is curious about who released this rumor? After all, there are not many people who know that Wushuang is daughter.
"That's enough, let's talk about it. Dugu Liancheng listened to the ministers' words and words, and couldn't help but say coldly impatiently, this matter is indeed a problem, but it is impossible for him to hand over Wushuang.
"I heard that the DPRK and China are not at peace today. Dugu Liancheng stepped into the house, Ruan Wushuang opened his lips and asked, originally she was poisoned by Gu in her body, and her body was already weak, but she didn't know that she was infected with wind and cold a few days ago, so Dugu Liancheng did not allow her to go to the court in recent days.
"Hmm. He looked at her who was leaning on the bed, her face was pale, and answered faintly.
"What should you do about this?" Ruan Wushuang's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, now that Da Yan Fang is on the right track, it is only slightly better, but this happened again at this juncture.
"Justify your name. He smiled lightly, and the serious soft light in his eyes blew into her heart like a warm wind. Blowing the medicine in the bowl, he handed it to her.
She smiled, raised her hand to take the black and unpleasant medicine, and as soon as she looked up, she drank the medicine in the bowl, and when she had finished drinking, he handed her a candied fruit.
When you put the candied fruit in your mouth, the bitter and astringent taste finally improved a lot.
"However, I'm curious about who is the person who is making trouble behind the scenes?" Ruan Wushuang's eyes sank, and a chill was shining, if she knew who the person behind the troublemakers was, she would definitely not be able to spare him. When the words fell, she seemed to think of what Chu Ze said to her yesterday, so she opened her lips and asked, "Recently, Ming Qi is about to move near Dayan?"
"What did Chu Ze say?" Dugu Liancheng's eyes suddenly sank, although it was a question but a look of affirmation, since her body became weaker and weaker, he had not let her contact with the court again, in order to let her take good care of her body.
knew that she couldn't hide it from him, but she also promised not to betray Chu Ze, hearing Dugu Liancheng ask, she shrugged her little face and said coquettishly: "I forced him to say it." ”
Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng handed her a ghost to believe in your eyes.
"Since the end of winter, after Emperor Mingqi died of illness, there has often been a small friction on the border between Dayan and Mingqi, and it seems that he can't bear it. ”
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang was silent for a moment, Ming Qi was about to move, but Xiao Wuji was also the one who knew her true identity, so could it be that he deliberately made trouble this time?
"You talk about rumors, but Xiaowuji is making trouble behind your back?"
"It's not him. Dugu Liancheng knew what she was thinking, when Dugu Lianyu Palace changed, although Xiao Wuji had used her to threaten him, but it was only against him, this time it was different, these rumors were clearly aimed at her. And the unscrupulous temperament, he can be regarded as understanding.
"Huh?" she looked at him puzzled.
"Okay, don't talk about that, I'm here to do these things. He smiled suddenly, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the top of her hair.
Hearing this, she knew that he was deliberately changing the topic, so she simply didn't ask.
At that time, the Ming Prayer Palace.
"Your Majesty, now that rumors are spreading in Dayan and the people's hearts are unstable, this is the perfect time for us to make a move. ”
"Shut up, what is the best time? Do you so much hope that Dayan and Ming Qi will start a war and the lives will be ruined?" Ayu couldn't help but scold, this Li family is really a scourge, if Dayan and Ming Qi start a war, it will be the people who will suffer. Moreover, Dugu Liancheng did not have the heart to start a war with Ming, but their side often went to harass the border land of Dayan.
"The Jade Princess's words are wrong, if it becomes a big thing, bloodshed is inevitable. "Li Shi is not salty or light.
"Heh, it's so light, try to bleed for you?" Ayu sneered, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk.
Li's face couldn't help but stiffen, his lips twitched, and there was a breath of anger in his heart. Seeing this, Ayu wanted to still scold her, but she didn't know that Xiao Wuji said first: "What Li said is right, this is the best time, but you have to plan carefully." ”
Hearing this, Li hooked the corners of his mouth proudly, and looked at Ayu with a surprised face as if provocatively. Ayu's eyes widened suddenly, she heard it right, brother, he actually agreed with Li's statement?
"Brother, do you know what you're talking about?" Ayu said angrily, although today's Ming Qi can be compared to Dayan, or even a few points stronger than Dayan, but if there is a war, victory will be the case, and if you lose, you will be beaten back to her original form overnight, she believes that Xiao Wuji does not know this truth, but now it is different from the past, her words used to work in front of him, but now it has no effect at all, he still goes his own way and insists on going his own way.
It is also that today's Xiaowuji is no longer the warm-hearted brother he was at the beginning, now he has become cold-blooded and irritable, speaking of which, he found the King of Ten Thousand Gu, his father could have solved the Gu poison, but for his own selfish desires, he actually sacrificed the King of Ten Thousand Gu to his father to solve the Gu, which caused his father to go before he survived the winter.
"Yes. Xiao Wuji said casually, and I don't know when there was a bit of anger between his eyebrows.
"You...... That's it, you can do whatever you like......" Ayu said angrily, knowing that she was still so light and light, she really didn't know what to say. After the words fell, she took a deep look at Xiaoji, and strode out.
Chang'an, outside the palace gate.
Dugu Anle stood in the crowd of demonstrators in plain clothes, the corners of her mouth hooked a gloomy arc, she was not happy, and Ruan Wushuang should not think about it. Thinking of this, she raised her hand and touched her belly, which had been more than three months old, and she didn't know if Brother Wuji had sent someone to find her in the past few days since she disappeared?
Hehe, Dugu Anle, what are you delusional about? Will he send someone to you? Will he worry about you, worry about the child in your belly? I'm afraid he wants her to disappear.
"It's out, the emperor himself has come out. ”
An exclamation pulled back Dugu Anle's thoughts, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Dugu Liancheng and Ruan Wushuang walking out with ten fingers clasped, only to see Dugu Liancheng pay attention to Ruan Wushuang who was pale and coughing from time to time. I'm afraid something will happen to her.
Seeing Ruan Wushuang looking so angry and weak, Dugu Anle couldn't help but sneer in his heart, it was really retribution! Immediately, she glanced at the green clothes on the side, and the green clothes looked at Dugu Anle with a weak face, seeing this, Dugu Anle's eyes lit up.
Green Yi swallowed his saliva and shouted loudly, "Kill Su Ruan, this scourge." ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the people around them echoed again.
Dugu Liancheng's eyes were cold, and anger quickly rose from his heart like the fire of the prairie fire.
Sensing Dugu Liancheng's anger, Ruan Wushuang gently pinched his hand, and then shook his head. Seeing this, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and the sound of heckling he heard just now should have come from the middle of the crowd, and it seemed that someone did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and through the gap between the crowd, he happened to see Dugu Anle with a wicked smile on his face, was Anle a ghost?
"Can you listen to me first? Ruan Wushuang raised her voice and said, but her voice was not as good as the bursts of "crusades". As soon as the words fell, she coughed violently again.
Seeing this, Dugu Liancheng was shocked, and simply hugged her in his arms, at this moment she was like a fragile rag doll, and she couldn't be touched at all, seeing her coughing red face, and then looking at the person who kept shouting, the killing intent in her eyes instantly spread.
"Seven Shadows. ”
Hearing this, Qiying responded, and raised his hand to signal the guards behind him, and in a moment, those who were shouting for demonstration were surrounded in the middle. For this reason, those people couldn't help but start panicking. And for a while, some people came to watch the excitement.
Dugu Anle looked at such a battle, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and sure enough, he saw Dugu Liancheng whispering a few words in Qiying's ear, and then Qiying looked in her direction, did they find something? Thinking of this, Dugu Anle's steps couldn't help but retreat back and forth.
The Seven Shadows rolled over and rose into the air, easily reaching her side.
"Princess Anle, the master is invited. ”
With the voice, everyone looked at Dugu Anle, Dugu Anle's face turned dark, and he was vigilant and subconsciously stepped back. Before she could speak, the Seven Shadows grabbed her and led her to the front of the crowd like an eagle catching a chicken.
"An Le, aren't you praying?" Ruan Wushuang couldn't help frowning and asked, his eyes glanced at her, only to see that she was dressed in plain clothes, her skin was much more sallow, and her lower abdomen was slightly raised, and now she has long since lost her former appearance. It seems that she has not had a good time in Mingqi these months.
