Chapter 55: The Deathbed

*

After a while, Yu Chi Nan heard some noise not far in front of him, as if someone was passing by, and after it quieted down, a man's voice came from the front.

"The person kneeling in the hall is Wei Chinan?"

Wei Chi Nan was ready to die to martyr his friend, but he was calm and calm in his heart, not only did he not answer, but asked proudly: "Who is the person in the hall?" ”

"Hmph, if you dare to disrupt the party, you dare not answer your official's question, aren't you afraid that the crime will be added to the next degree?" The man in the hall scolded angrily.

Yu Chi Nan said confidently: "What kind of official are you?" Don't dare to see me in the real way, hide it, and don't deserve to talk to me! ”

The man in the hall shouted: "Hateful and chaotic party, dare to speak wildly!" Quick move! disguised as an inner servant and lurking in the palace, but in order to commit misdeeds and assassinate His Majesty?! ”

Wei Chi Nan sneered, "I'm not a chaotic party, the chaotic party is in your Taishi's mansion, why do you have to go to the palace to find it?" ”

"How can it be!" The man in the hall was furious, "Come on, push out this disrespectful and chaotic party, and correct the law on the spot!" ”

Someone behind the door agreed, pushed the door in, picked up Wei Chinan and strode out.

Wei Chi Nan knew that he was being coerced to the execution ground, but he smiled in his heart, thinking that he would have to go through some torture to be freed, but he didn't expect to die so happily, and it could be regarded as earned.

He was held hostage by the guards and walked for a while before being pushed to the ground again.

I thought that what I felt the next moment might be the taste of a sword piercing my heart, but I didn't expect that this time someone would take off the black cloth that blindfolded him and untie the rope tied to his body.

He looked around in astonishment, and saw himself kneeling in a rather spacious hall, flanked on either side by large cabinets full of books and scrolls, among which incense burners, brass lamps, and other ornamental vessels were beautiful and delicate, and the incense of sandalwood was faintly wafting all around.

He looked up again, and there was a man sitting at the back of the desk in the center of the hall, wearing a black brocade robe, the black embroidery on the robe was intricate and gorgeous, and the long black hair was combed into a towering bun, among which the golden jade hairpin ring was extremely luxurious and solemn. Although she was just a girl who looked like she was only a teenager, even if she ignored the luxurious clothes on her body, just by the domineering spirit that could make others bow their heads and the sharp eyes that seemed to be able to capture people's hearts, it also made people feel that her identity was different.

Wei Chi Nan was shocked by the aura of the girl in front of him for a while, and he didn't dare to speak easily, and a guard sent someone behind him. He turned around suddenly, only to see that the one who knelt beside him was the palace maid.

Tong Guan saw the girl in the hall, and before he had time to look at Yu Chinan, he fell to the ground, and the girl saluted and said, "Palace maid Tong Guan knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Wei Chinan was really surprised at this time: how could this person in front of him turn out to be Her Majesty the Empress who tried his best to meet him? Just now, he was obviously arrested by the Taishi, locked up in the Taishi's mansion for interrogation, and after a short while, His Majesty the Empress was in front of him, which made him a little overwhelmed for a while.

Until Tong Guan secretly pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered: "Young Master Wei Chi, when you see Your Majesty, you still don't salute?" Then he woke up and fell to the ground.

"Wei Chinan, I heard that you have something to tell me. Now that you've seen me, you have something to say. ”

In fact, the search and interrogation just now were all designed by Zuo Ying to test this Wei Chinan. Even if he said that he had something important to report alone, he could not let him approach him lightly, let alone believe his words rashly. After the temptation just now, Zuo Ying has basically been able to confirm the innocence of this person, and his words can be heard as soon as he is heard - if he is Helan Chu's person, he should have revealed his identity when he was about to be pushed out for execution just now to avoid death; And if he had been sent by someone else with ulterior motives, he should not have been so reckless and careless in his conversation with the person who interrogated him. His performance gave Zuo Ying reason to believe that he did carry a secret that he was willing to protect if he couldn't hand it over to Zuo Ying in person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Chi Nan kowtowed again, "But the stakes are very high, and the grass people can only tell His Majesty alone." ”

Zuo Ying nodded at Tong Guan, who got up and exited the door in a playful manner.

Wei Chinan saw that there was no one else in the room, so he cleaned up his mood, and said with a somewhat miserable expression: "Does Your Majesty remember Lin Guangsi?" ”

"Lin Guangsi"? The name sounds familiar at first glance. It can't be the likes of "Summer Rain Lotus", right?

Zuo Ying recalled for a moment, and quickly remembered that this person was the commander of the imperial guard of the late "Imperial Brother". I have the impression that he is the same age as the Wei Chi Nan in front of him, and judging from his closeness to the "imperial brother", he should vaguely be the confidant of the "imperial brother".

"But Lin Guangsi, the commander of the emperor's imperial guard?" Zuo Ying asked.

A hint of joy appeared in Wei Chinan's eyes, "Thanks to Your Majesty's remembrance, it is Lin Guangsi, the commander of the imperial guards beside the former emperor. He is also a good friend of the grass people and a good brother who is like a brother. What the grass people want to report is entrusted by him on his deathbed! ”

"He's dead?" The information in Zuo Ying's mind is really pitiful, because this is not what the princess who only knows how to have fun cares about before.

"Yes, two days before His Majesty ascended the throne, he had already died in the prison with hatred. It was Helan Chu who sent him to the prison on charges out of nothing. ”

Zuo Ying finally understood why his expression was full of sadness.

"Guangsi is loyal to the emperor, has a clear distinction between public and private, and handles things very strictly, even if he has such a friendship with the grass people, he has never revealed half of the secret information in the palace to the grass people." Wei Chi Nan sighed silently before continuing: "It wasn't until he was severely punished with the court rod that day, and he was already dying, and he was actually thrown into the heavenly prison, and his life was dying, that he had no choice but to entrust the important matter to the grass people. ”

Zuo Ying's eyes sharpened, it seems that after the death of the "imperial brother", Helan Chu has carried out a series of actions to cut off the "royalists", and the people involved must be far more than Lin Guangsi, the commander of the imperial guards. It's just that she spent all her energy on ensuring that she could survive until the day she ascended the throne, and she had no time to care about what was happening in the outside world. Besides, maybe this extermination operation is no longer bloody, didn't the core group of people in the "Imperial Brother's" power group have already been wiped out by the counterattack during the "Helan Chu Big Wedding Operation"? What will happen to the rest of them, presumably faded out of most people's sight.

"What did he ask you for?" Zuo Ying rarely shares her inner activities with others; She is accustomed to strictly following the original thread of the topic.
