Verse 66: A false empty city

Hearing the prince ask such a sentence, Queen Luan said in her heart: "Didn't you deliberately teach Zhaohua tricks because you didn't want to marry her?" Mu Changhan said: "Queen Mother, how many times do you want your son to say it before you can believe that your son really likes Zhaohua, he is beautiful and silly, and he is the easiest to coax, isn't he?" ”

Queen Luan didn't want to talk to him about whether he was sincere to Zhaohua anymore, so she raised her forehead and sighed: "I should really be glad that you don't help outsiders deal with me." ”

Mu Changhan bowed and said, "Where is the queen mother, the son has never deceived his mother." ”

Queen Luan sneered: "That's it, you don't have to show loyalty to me anymore." You've grown up, it's time for you to have your own ideas, I can't always force you. Have a seat. ”

Mu Changhan saw that his mother didn't plan to ask, so he simply didn't mention it, and sat down next to Queen Luan and said: "I found Zhaohua this time, and I felt strange when I met, she was very kind to me, she explained to me that she just wanted to test my sincerity before, after all, I had never had any contact with her, and I suddenly treated her like this, she was afraid that I would lie to her." Queen Mother, I think it is reasonable for her to say this, and my son is quite relieved after hearing it, and my son did not disappoint her. I also asked her, didn't she always read Mu Suihan before? She told me that Mu Suihan was already dead, no matter how stupid she was, she would not delay her youth for a dead man! ”

Queen Luan felt a headache, the person who pretended to be asleep could never wake up, she knew that Mu Changhan actually didn't want to marry Zhaohua, so she did it, she had already seen it, and she was sure that he knew that he didn't believe his words, but he still didn't admit it, and his mouth was so natural, he was right, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he didn't have any shame, and her head hurt even more when she thought of this.

She rubbed her temples and sighed heavily, closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, and said lazily: "You say, did that old puppet Gu Wang Ye teach her?" ”

Mu Changhan said: "If it is true that Prince Gu doesn't want to marry his daughter to me, most likely it is also for the affairs of the court, for fear that Zhaohua will be implicated." If it is not unreasonable to say that he is not unreasonable, Gu Wang Ye is uninhibited, the best at jokes, and has no shape, this idea is quite unexpected, very similar to his style. ”

Queen Luan suddenly opened her eyes, suddenly thought of something, and said silently: "The matter of the court, the matter of the court...... This old horseman! ”

Mu Changhan saw that his mother's expression was not good, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, but I still believe in Zhaohua, maybe it was Prince Gu who used Zhaohua, and Zhaohua didn't know about it!" ”

Queen Luan didn't want to listen to him talk about him and Zhaohua anymore, so Fu closed her eyes again and said coldly: "What's the matter with that stupid girl, it's not just the old man who wants to guard against Wang Ye Gu?" See people's hearts for a long time, and see how this Zhaohua behavior will be in the future! Don't stay with me for too long, go and see your father, he's still angry with you, be careful yourself. ”

Mu Changhan got up and saluted: "My son is white, then Changhan will leave." ”

Queen Luan had a terrible headache, she contracted this disease less than two years after entering the palace when she was young, and there was no cure, so she could only rely on acupuncture to alleviate it, and it could not be eradicated. The doctor said that it was a heart disease, caused by excessive worry and heavy heart, and could only give her some advice to relax her heart. But her life is really not easy, she also wants to think about nothing every day, eat and sleep, sleep enough to visit the imperial garden, or embroidery, read books, write, but if that, she can't live today. She gradually turned white, everyone in this deep palace with identity wished that she would die, if she died, the Luan family would be weak, including the emperor.

Although she guessed this, as long as she determined it herself, even if there was no conclusive evidence, it was also true, because she knew that she was allowed to enter the palace not because the emperor liked her, but because the emperor was just following the rules of Emperor Taizu: marrying the daughter of the Luan family as a concubine. The emperor is afraid of the Luan family, she knows it, that's why she can kill Empress Mei so smoothly, and her son can become the crown prince, and now she is in the middle of the day, she can't give the emperor a chance to breathe, otherwise it will be her and the entire Luan family who will suffer.

On the same day, the queen's headache spread to Uncle Luan, Uncle Luan immediately came to visit, Queen Luan branched out of the people around her, Uncle Luan asked: "Niangniang's headache is so difficult, but what troubles have you encountered?" Today, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhaohua are back, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made something wrong? ”

Uncle Luan Guo is over fifty years old, but his face is still angular, his sword eyebrows are dark, and his eyes are also very bright, he can see that even if he was not a beautiful man who cried ghosts and gods when he was young, he could be said to be heroic, and he himself was also an all-rounder, Wen Neng Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo, but it was a pity that his talent was not used in the right way, and he moved his heart. But in fact, it was precisely because of his conceit and talent that he looked down on the emperor for cowardice, so he secretly rebelled under the banner of the court's mistreatment of the Luan family.

He has no children in his life, only two daughters, and his biggest weapon is this daughter who has become a queen, she can't make any mistakes, because he cares very much, and whenever there is any trouble on her side, he always rushes over to protect her immediately.

Queen Luan told her father the story of the matter, and finally said: "Lord Gu, this old thief is about to confront us, he wants to scare us away with this, so that we are suspicious and dare not marry Zhaohua!" ”

Uncle Luan Guo held the teacup in one hand, stirred the tea leaves inside with the lid of the cup, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Gu is scheming, so he has an empty city plan!" If we really let His Highness marry Zhaohua, it may not be that we have to blackmail him, but it will bring us danger. Regardless of whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sincere to Zhaohua or not, in short, if we put such a woman by his side, we will not be at ease day and night. This girl! It's because we underestimate her, it's hard for her to pretend to be so similar! We killed Queen Mei and Mu Suihan, both of whom have a lot of affection for her, and it is impossible for her not to hate us. Although this girl is pampered, she is by no means a heartless and unrighteous person, Queen Mei loves her, she will not forget it. If the two become relatives, she still can't think of a way to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and harm you? Vengeance is the most difficult to prevent, she wants to fight with us, but we can't fight her. No matter what, you can't fight the idea of marrying Zhaohua anymore. ”

Another sharp pain hit Queen Luan's head, and she frowned and said bitterly: "Father, this Gu Wang Ye is really powerful, and if he goes down, he will let us know his plan but we can't do anything." ”

Uncle Luan Guo sighed and said with pity: "This is more powerful than Kong Yin's empty city plan, Gu Wangye's empty city is an illusion, and there are traps in the empty city." Don't think about these things, I'll do the things of the prince Gu, you just take care of the prince and Your Majesty! ”

When he said the last few words, his tone was extremely gloomy, and Queen Luan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, I will take care." ”

Uncle Luan Guo comforted her and said: "When His Royal Highness becomes the emperor, when you become the queen mother, you don't have to work so hard again." ”

Let's put aside the things in the palace for the time being, and just talk about Zhaohua who returned to the palace. She personally tested this time, and admired Zhou Wenlian very much: "I used to look down on him, a scholar who sells steamed buns in a small town, what can he do to save me, his knowledge is not as good as the people in our house, but I didn't expect that Daddy, he was so accurate, you said, he only asked some things about the prince and the queen, you can know who they are, he has never seen them can guess their hearts thoroughly, he is too powerful!" Daddy, this friend of yours is really a god, Daddy, you say, is he called 'strategizing, winning thousands of miles away'? ”

Gu Wang Ye smiled: "My good girl praised him so hard, that is indeed admiring him." You think highly of him, and if he knew, he would be so proud that his tail would go up to the sky. ”

Zhaohua was in a good mood, and said with a "giggle" smile: "Then I will also praise him, he is smart and can afford such praise." I have always had a word, and when he comes, I will treat him well and thank him for saving me. ”

Seeing her smiling like the sunshine in April, Gu Wangye reached out and touched her head lovingly, and sighed: "Good boy, my father likes your temper." But it's a pity, I'm a prince, if I'm a Jianghu person, our father and daughter's life must be more free. It's a pity that your naΓ―ve temperament was born in a family like us, after all, you were born in the wrong child, you escaped this catastrophe today, and you don't know what to do in the future! ”

Zhaohua said: "Daddy, people are happy today, why do you say such sad words." In the future, in the future, Zhaohua has a father, and a father has Zhou Wenlian, I believe that the three of us will be safe and sound! ”

Gu Wangye is very clever and has already expected the wind, frost, rain and snow in the future, but it is inconvenient to tell Zhaohua about this matter now, and she can't be white now, so he changed his smile and said: "I just saw that you can be alone today, and I am happy in my heart, but I am a little dazed." ”

Zhaohua said puzzledly: "I'm glad that I can be white, why is my father at a loss?" Gu Wangye stretched out his finger and scratched the bridge of his nose and said: "My stinky girl has grown up, she doesn't need me anymore, I'm afraid that she will dislike me as a bad old man in the future, and she will never come to play with me again!" ”

Zhaohua grabbed his arm, leaned on his shoulder and smiled coquettishly: "You bad old man, you are so ruthless!" If you want me to be with you for the rest of your life, then you have to spoil me, you have to give me whatever I want, I can do whatever I want, you are not allowed to restrain me. Gu Wang Ye smiled: "Where did I raise a daughter, and I raised a little tiger in the yin!" He reached out and pinched Zhaohua's cheek.

Since the death of Queen Mei and the rumors of Mu Suihan's murder appeared, the father and daughter have not been so happy for a long time. The years are long, life is short, and the princes and people have their own worries.

Luan Cheng is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is rich and rivals the country, but he has been unable to sleep all night for three days in a row, even if he barely takes a nap, it is a nightmare between being groggy and drowsy. went to the palace to see Concubine Luan, he was even more uneasy, and called his son-in-law Zhao Baiquan to his side that night.

"I still think it's inappropriate, this thing is wrong, Zhaohua's girl went to Anning County, Chao'an City, and when she came back, she changed a lot, and she never mentioned Mu Suihan's matter. The behavior is inconsistent, if you don't deliberately pretend to be crazy and stupid, you will find something, and I don't believe this girl can pretend to be so similar. ”

Zhao Baiquan lowered his voice and said very respectfully: "Father, in fact, there were a lot of suspicions when I killed Mu Suihan, I am from Anning County, why don't I go to Anning County for my father, maybe I can find any clues." ”
