"Tell me about you, what else can you do? Can the escort disaster relief food be robbed? Lan Hongzhen shouted angrily,

"Huh! It's really a big joke, 200,000 stones, not one bag or two bags, ah, how can it be robbed? ”

Blue Moon was crawling on the ground all dirty, not daring to say a word.

He wanted to know what was going on, too.

When the convoy was still halfway to Jizhou, it arrived at a very narrow pass, it was already dark, the wind and rain were also very heavy, and it was still cold.

Originally, Lan Yue planned to go through this section and then rest, because he didn't feel very safe, but Tian Qi, who was with him, said that the sergeants below were already tired and hungry, and they were already tired, so it was recommended to repair first and then hurry.

Lan Yue also went out to take a look, the sergeants were indeed very tired, and the road was slippery in the dark, so it was good to take a rest, so they followed Tian Qi's advice to stop camping and rest.

Everyone was very sleepy, and those who had eaten dry food and left the caretakers had fallen asleep in tents.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, a group of black-clothed masked bandits on horseback rushed out of the woods, slashed without saying a word, and killed anyone they saw, regardless of who you were or who.

For a while, the shouting and killing shook the sky, and I didn't know how many bandits there were, Blue Moon, as a flower that had been kept in the palace for many years, had never seen such a scene, a human head fell in front of him, and he was frightened and fainted when his face was covered with blood.

By the time he woke up in the muddy rain, it was already dawn and the wind and rain had stopped, but Blue Moon was so frightened by the scene in front of him that she fainted again.

I saw that the rain was all over the ground, and all the severed arms and limbs were stumped, and the rain turned into blood, on the branches, on the stones, on the broken carriages, and in the mud...... Everywhere there were bloodstains washed by the rain, mixed with the muddy yellow soil, which was shocking.

Blue Moon trembled for a while before she slowly got up from the ground, holding on to a severed tree trunk, and looked around carefully, there was no one alive anymore.

He walked forward step by step, and finally found Tian Qi, who was seriously injured and unconscious, under a carriage.

What made him even more frightened was that he found that all the food on the carriage was gone, even the carriage and the two carts of silver were gone, it was obvious that the bandits were coming for the grain and silver, and Blue Moon sat helplessly on the ground again.

After being stunned for a long time, he got up and searched everywhere in the woods, and finally let him find a horse that was still surviving, and with great effort, he got Tian Qi on the horse's back, and relied on the only remaining dry food and water all the way back to the imperial capital in embarrassment.

The first thing Lan Yue did when he came back was to come to Lan Hongzhen to ask for guilt, and he did it like this the first time he did it, he really felt that he was very useless, 200,000 stone grain, that is the winter food of the entire people of Jizhou, which is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, how can he give a difference to the people of Jizhou now?

Murong Qiuyue saw Lan Hongzhen, who was trembling with anger, and quickly got up and walked to Lan Hongzhen, who was already blue-faced, and patted his chest for him, "Your Majesty, Yue'er is also experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, don't be angry, beware of being angry!" ”

"Not angry?"

Lan Hongzhen turned his face to look at Murong Qiuyue, with a nameless hatred in his eyes, he sneered,

"That's the winter food for 200,000 of my people, and it disappeared from your son's hands all at once, but you told me not to be angry? Is this how you are the queen of a country? ”

"The concubine is guilty, the emperor is angry, isn't the concubine also thinking about the emperor?"

Murong Qiuyue's eyes showed a trace of grievance, and she whispered a little stupidly.

"For my good? For my sake? ”

Lan Hongzhen sneered twice, and said angrily, "Queen, Queen, don't think that you don't know what you're thinking, if you really want it for my good, you won't educate Yue'er like this, it's useless!" ”

"Your Majesty... How can you say that? Yue'er is just a child!"

"Kid?"

Lan Hongzhen picked up the fold on the table, and wanted to smash it at Murong Qiuyue's face, but after glancing at Gonggong Deng who was standing with his head bowed not far away, and Murong Qiuyue, who was full of grievances, he finally endured it, he didn't want to lose the queen's face in front of his subordinates.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Lan Yue, who was still prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to look up, "They are all people who are about to get married, but you told me that he was just a child?" ”

Lan Hongzhen closed his eyes in pain, Lan Yue was kind and filial, but she was a little cowardly and timid, she had to listen to Murong Qiuyue in everything, and she still couldn't compete with her own queen mother if she had her own opinions. If he hadn't forced him to go this time, it is estimated that Lan Yue would have believed Murong Qiuyue's words again and would not be willing to take this errand.

Lan Hongzhen originally thought that for the sake of cultivating Yue'er with his heart, Murong Qiuyue would also help Lan Yue successfully complete this mission, but what he didn't expect was that Lan Yue would be wiped out, and even the food and silver would be lost.

"Father, it's useless to be a son! Erchen is guilty, and Erchen is willing to make credit for his guilt and find out the robbed grain to solve the urgent needs of the people of Jizhou. ”

Lan Yue said to Lan Hongzhen in a trembling voice in His Highness.

"Yue'er!"

Murong Qiuyue frowned and exclaimed.

"You? Crediting the sins? It's up to you? Ha..... Hahaha......"

Lan Hongzhen laughed, he was angry with his youngest son, and some wrinkled corners of his eyes even burst into tears.

"How do you find it? Tell me about it first! ”

Lan Hongzhen withdrew his hand, rubbed his temples with his fingers and asked to hold back his anger.

Recently, his headache has become more and more serious, but the imperial doctor is helpless, he can only hope that Lan Xing can marry a concubine soon, so that he can abdicate early to complete his unfulfilled dream.

"Second Highness......

Gonggong Deng hung his head and stood not far from Lan Yue's side, reminding in a low voice.

"Yue'er, don't promise anything you can't do, it's a crime of bullying!"

Murong Qiuyue was also a little anxious, what happened to Yue'er, how could he get back the 200,000 stone grain without a single soldier without power and power? When the time comes, can't you make the emperor angry?

"The Queen Mother! You don't have to worry about the affairs of the sons, it's the sons who are wrong, and the sons will confess to their father......"

Lan Yue raised her head and said obligedly.

"Yue'er! Are you crazy? ”

With a "snap", Murong Qiuyue ran down the steps, raised her palm and hit Lan Yue's right cheek fiercely, she was really angry, why was her son so disobedient? I have to work against her, who is a mother.

"The Queen Mother?"

Lan Yue covered her face and looked at Murong Qiuyue who was a little hideous in shock, not understanding why she was beating herself.

"Yue'er! You really don't know how thick the sky is! Are these things you can do? ”

After beating Lan Yue, Murong Qiuyue was also very distressed, she slowly squatted in front of Lan Yue, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Lan Yue's face, and whispered earnestly, "You are the son of this palace, can this palace still harm you?" Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have? Do you have to make your father angry at this time? Don't be so self-conscious, okay? ”

Murong Qiuyue said, raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her hard work, Yue'er will never understand!

"The Queen Mother?"

Lan Yue moved back, looked at the queen's mournful face with unfamiliar eyes, and said in disbelief, "Queen Mother, I am also your son, but why am I so unfashionable in your eyes?" ”

As he spoke, a layer of mist also surged in his eyes that looked like Murong Qiuyue, it had always been like this, no matter what he did, the queen mother told him that it was dangerous, don't do it.

And the prince's brother, it seems that he has done all kinds of dangerous things, of course, if he does something wrong, he will inevitably be punished by his father and mother.

However, they didn't know how much Blue Moon envied that kind of brother.

"Yue'er... That's not true. ”

Murong Qiuyue looked at the unfamiliar expression on Lan Yue's face, startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, but was pushed away by Lan Yue all of a sudden, and he yelled hoarsely at her: "That's how you are!" ”

"No... It's not like that...."

Murong Qiuyue knelt on the ground, shaking her head in pain, tears streaming down the corners of her delicate eyes.

"Huh!"

Lan Yue sneered self-deprecatingly and said, "Since you were a child, you don't like the prince's brother, everyone thinks so, even Erchen thinks so, the prince's brother is not accompanied by the queen mother, the queen mother grew up with the son, and the son-in-law also thinks that the queen mother is the most favorite and most distressed son-reel......"

Lan Yue smiled and began to cry, "But... It wasn't until now that Erchen understood that the queen mother didn't like Erchen, and the queen mother hated Erchen and even hated Erchen, so she was reluctant to let Erchen do anything when Erchen was already an adult, and always told Erchen that this is also dangerous, that is also dangerous, and said that you will protect Erchen well......."

"But the queen mother forgot that the son is a man, and he is the son of his father, and in the future, he is the one who will assist the prince's brother to take charge of the Lan family, and you, as the only woman of the father's emperor, have raised the son of a waste who has achieved nothing after a country!"

"You say, didn't you hurt your son?"

"Shut up! She's your mother! Lan Hongzhen slapped the table and rebuked loudly.

"Yue'er ......"

Murong Qiuyue slumped on the ground and whispered in pain, she didn't expect that she was bent on paving the way for him, but he misunderstood her like this, how could she be good?

"Father! Erchen is the descendant of the Lan family, the son of his father, and he must not be so mediocre! I implore my father to allow my sons to retrieve this batch of looted relief food, so as to redeem my sons for their incompetence and dereliction of duty! ”

Lan Yue took a few steps forward, prostrate in front of Lan Hongzhen, kowtowed a few times, and said loudly.

"No, you can't! Yue'er, you absolutely not! ”

Murong Qiuyue's face turned red and shouted urgently.

What is going on with this batch of food, she knows better than anyone else, with Yue'er's strength, it is impossible to get it back, and when the time comes, her son's sin will be even greater.

She thought, Lan Hongzhen will definitely not let Lan Yue go, if she delays like this, it will be the New Year, the disaster victims have no food, and if there is a riot, the crime will eventually fall on Lan Yue's head.

"The Queen Mother! My father said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! ”

Lan Yue frowned and reminded Murong Qiuyue that he had decided that in the future, he must not all listen to the words of the queen mother, otherwise, he would really be wasted, just like the flowers in the greenhouse, as soon as they left the room, they would wither and die without being able to withstand the sun and wind.

"Yue'er, you....... How do you talk to the Queen Mother like that? ”

Murong Qiuyue couldn't believe her ears, and when she heard Lan Yue's words, she covered her heart and asked bitterly.

"That's it! Don't make any noise! ”

Lan Hongzhen slapped the table and yelled impatiently.
