Chapter 238: Not a joke
After a while, I saw Mama Yue come in with a skinny old man.
Looking at the age is quite old, it seems that it is indeed as the queen said, and he is a person who has followed Li Guogong in the past.
As soon as the visitor entered the temple door, he bowed to the queen, and then stood up, but did not speak, as if waiting for the queen to speak.
At this time, the queen glanced at Lu Guanlan, then lowered her eyes slightly, and slowly spoke: "Amber, tell her the ins and outs of what you see." ”
An Bo bowed his head, and then turned his head to look at Lu Guanlan, "This is the daughter of Lord Lu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, right?" ”
Lu Guanlan nodded lightly at first, and then reacted.
Where did this Amber of the National Mansion hear about himself?
Thinking of this, he said: "The people's daughter is just a woman in the boudoir, how can it reach the point where everyone knows it?" ”
Amber seemed to understand the meaning of Lu Guanlan's words, and immediately said: "When I saw the general, I heard the general mention it. ”
Lu Guanlan was stunned when he heard this.
As if anticipating Lu Guanlan's reaction, Amber continued: "The general said that he passed by a plum forest along the way, so he thought that when he returned to Beijing, he would dig up two plants for Miss Lu to bring back. The general also said that Miss Lu likes plum blossoms. ”
Lu Guanlan's heart twitched suddenly.
"Wherever I go from now on, I'll bring you something every time."
Suddenly flashed in her mind not long after the first acquaintance, Li Duan secretly came to her at night and gave her a bracelet, what he said to her.
It turns out that this sentence was not a joke at that time.
She suddenly felt that her wrist seemed to be a little hot. Unconsciously looked down and saw that the bracelet was a little dazzling red at the moment.
For some reason, at this moment, she felt astringent in her eyes, and blinked hard, but it seemed that something in front of her was covered with a light veil.
All kinds of things in the past passed by her eyes like a marquee.
"So, I also want to ask, if you marry me, would you be willing?"
"If you are by my side, then I am willing to protect you alone, and I don't care about the others."
"Guanlan, I just want a word from you."
"All I care about is you."
"Have you figured it out? If I really come to the door to propose, then you will be my person from now on. ”
"Do you care about me?"
The thoughts in my mind stopped on the day Li Duan left.
If he knew that she cared about him just as much, why did he ······ Would you be careless like that?
When the queen heard this, she sighed again with an extremely sad sigh.
This sigh pulled Lu Guanlan back from his thoughts.
She looked at Amber and the stars seemed to be back.
"Since the general can talk to Amber about this, it means that Amber is a man whom the general trusts him very much," he said, bowing to Amber in front of him, and then saying, "In this way, I will believe what Amber says." ”
Seeing Lu Guanlan like this, Amber was stunned in his heart, and then said: "That day, the slave saw the general and conveyed the meaning of the queen's mother to the general, and the general thought for a long time, so he talked to the slave that in the past two days, he found that there were suspicious people in the army, and he was startled, but he just stared secretly, and did not reveal that he already knew. I wanted to take advantage of the march and continue to wait to see what this person wanted to do, and by the way, I also secretly checked who was behind this person. But now that the queen has sent a letter, it seems that something big has happened in Beijing, and the general thinks that he will rest for a day, so he will return immediately, and if His Majesty is to blame, he will go to ask His Majesty for his guilt. Can ······"
Amber burst into tears when he said this.
"The slave wanted to hurry back to Beijing, so that the general had to eat better, and he specially made oil cakes, and wanted to go to the camp tent to shout to the general to get up, but who ······knows." Speaking of this, Amber's voice was also a little choked, "Who knew that I saw the general fall straight to the ground, turned his body over and looked, but he didn't even close his eyes!" ”
Speaking of this, the queen's eyes were already full of tears.
Lu Guanlan seemed extremely calm at this moment, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
In the hall at this time, Amber's low throat and the queen's soft sobs were intertwined.
In this way, after a while, Lu Guanlan spoke very slowly: "General······" As soon as these two words came out of her mouth, she couldn't help but pause, tried her best to hold back the stuffiness in her heart, and then said, "The news that the general has gone, but no one else knows?" ”
Amber raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and replied: "The slave has just rushed back to Beijing, and I guess the news is about to come back." ”
"That ······" Lu Guanlan took a deep breath, "His corpse ······"
An Bo said: "I will be personally escorted back to Beijing by Deputy Lieutenant Zhang." ”
After hearing this, Lu Guanlan looked at the queen and said: "Queen Mother, there must be a lot involved at this time, Amber said that the general has discovered that there are suspicious people in the army, plus what the people thought before, our top priority is to find out about this matter." ”
Hearing this, the queen pursed her bloodless lips, suddenly lowered her eyes, and was silent for a long time before raising her eyes to look at Lu Guanlan again, "Then according to what you see, what should the palace do?" ”
The news of Li Duan's death was quickly transmitted back to Beijing.
Concubine Xian was closed in the dormitory, but she saw Ling Chan coming.
Ling Chan saw that Concubine Xian was reading, and there was no Mama Jiang by her side, so she stepped forward and saluted Concubine Xian and said, "Concubine Xian is so interested." ”
Concubine Xian sat in the courtyard for a while, looking at it intently, and when she heard Ling Chan's voice, she turned her head to look.
"Why are you here again," Concubine Xian's tone was light, and then she looked behind Ling Chan, and she didn't see Ling Chan following the palace maid, so she asked, "Why did you come alone today." ”
Ling Chan smiled when she heard this, "Even if there are more people in the palace, they can't withstand a few knocks from this grandmother in the palace of Concubine Xian." ”
Although these words seem to be ridiculous, they can come out of Ling Chan's mouth, but they also seem to be joking, but they are not so annoying.
Concubine Xian sighed in her heart, stood up, and walked towards the hall.
"It's cold outside, let's go into the temple and talk."
Ling Chan looked at Concubine Xian's back, and suddenly felt that this woman was really weird.
Seeing that the clothes on his body are not too thick, and now that it is a snowy day, he is not staying in the temple on such a day, and he can still come to the courtyard to read, which is really incomprehensible.
followed Concubine Xian into the hall, Ling Chan sat down on the side, and also put down the hand warmer in her hand.
"Concubine Shu came today, I'm afraid it's not just to visit the palace," Concubine Xian said straight to the point.
Ling Chan chuckled, "Seeing that Concubine Xian's news is blocked, I'm just afraid that Concubine Xian Niangniang won't know something, so I thought about coming to talk to Concubine Xian." ”
Concubine Xian's expression was indifferent, "Since you came to talk to the palace, then the concubine should say it quickly." ”
Seeing that Concubine Xian is still so indifferent and alienated from herself now, Ling Chan smiled and said: "I don't know - Concubine Xian Niangniang has heard that the eldest grandson of the Duke of Li Guo's family, that is, the general, is dead." ”
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said in a daze: "General Li Duan? ”
Ling Chan nodded.
Concubine Xian paused for a long time before she spoke again: "Where did you hear the news?" ”
Ling Chan said: "It is said that the news of the virtuous concubine is closed, no, the matter that has been spread all over the palace, you still don't know about it?" ”
Full Palace?
Concubine Xian was stunned again.
So the queen already knows.
The queen is such a nephew, and now there is only one bloodline left in the Guogong Mansion, and besides, this bloodline is still his······
How······ How is that possible······
Looking at the disbelief on Concubine Xian's face, Ling Chan said again: "I heard that the queen mother was so grief-stricken that she had already fainted in the palace crying, and the imperial doctors are now all rushing to Jiaqi Palace." ”
As he spoke, he carefully noticed the changes in Concubine Xian's expression, and then said, "Concubine Xian, do you want to visit?" ”
Concubine Xian raised her eyes, "Why do you want to help this palace?" ”
Ling Chan smiled, "What's the reason, didn't the concubine already tell Concubine Xian Niangniang." ”
"Bengong is asking, what do you want from Bengong?" Concubine Xian's eyes were cold.
Ling Chan also suddenly turned upright, and said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang has been in the palace for many years, compared to the queen mother who lives in the palace all the year round and doesn't ask about the world, presumably this outside has more connections and knows more things than the queen mother, right?" ”
Concubine Xian sneered when she heard this, "What should this palace do, if you are still a little favored by the family in this palace, or the second highness is quite loved by His Majesty, and you want this palace to do something for you, then this palace will tell you," Concubine Xian said, staring at Ling Chan with cold eyes, "You don't have to." ”
This time, Ling Chan frowned.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang must have misunderstood the concubine, the concubine ······"
Concubine Xian raised her hand, motioned to Ling Chan to keep her mouth shut, and continued: "This palace has never thought about fighting for anything, and you don't have to worry about what will happen to you if you have a son in the future." This time, it is not so easy. ”
Ling Chan pursed her lips after hearing this, and after a while, she said, "What if the concubine just wants to ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to help find someone?" ”
Concubine Xian frowned and looked at Ling Chan, "Looking for someone?" ”
Ling Chan nodded, "The concubine said, because Concubine Xian Niangniang has been in the palace for a long time, presumably if you want to find someone, it is not a difficult thing?" ”
"Who?" Concubine Xian asked.
"Perhaps—is there a person in the palace who has a moire birthmark on his back?" Ling Chan said cautiously.
Concubine Xian frowned, "Birthmark? Why do you ask? ”
Ling Chan hurriedly smiled: "Before the concubine entered the palace, there was a sister, who said that her family was poor, and she had to sell her brother into the palace. The concubine's sister had a life-saving grace for the concubine, so she wanted to ask for that sister. If you can find it, it is naturally good, and the concubine can also think of asking her brother to go back to the second elder to send her to the end, if she doesn't find it, maybe she has already died in the palace, and there is no way. ”
"If this palace finds someone for you, can you have a way to let this palace go to see the queen?" Concubine Xian said.
Now the emperor will not come to see her, even if she asks the people in the palace to go and ask for help, people will definitely be stopped before seeing the emperor.
But if Concubine Shu can really help herself see the queen, then she doesn't have to bother much.
Now what she is most worried about is that the queen is sick because of this, and if she is too sad and breaks her body, she doesn't know how to explain to Li Mu.
