That night, Yan Ran did not fall asleep after turning off the lights, but got up and put on a cloak, and took advantage of the night to come to the small Buddha hall behind Shoukang Palace.

The Buddhist hall is located in a remote place, and the palace people were transferred away due to the sudden death of the Queen Mother, and there was no one here at this time.

Yan Ran asked Qingxuan and Xian Luo to wait outside, and she pushed open the hidden wooden door and walked in alone.

Princess Jin Luan was sitting on a futon, with a small case in front of her, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.

She was dressed in a blue-gray plain dress, and she was not surprised to see Yan Ran, as if she had been waiting for a long time: "If you don't come again, this tea will be cold." ”

Yan Ran sat down opposite Jin Luan and asked, "You told the Queen Mother the news of the death of the eldest princess of Minyang?" ”

Jin Luan poured a bowl of tea and pushed it in front of Yan Ran, not concealing it: "Yes." ”

Although Yan Ran already knew, she still felt incredulous: "Why are you doing this? ”

The Queen Mother treated Jin Luan well, not only raised her, but also gave her a glorious and wealthy life.

Jin Luan looked at Yan Ran's expression, knew what she was thinking, and sneered: "You must be thinking, the Queen Mother is so good to me, why do I ignore her life?" ”

Yan Ran didn't make a sound, and Jin Luan continued: "It is precisely because the Queen Mother is good to me that I want to repay my kindness!" She lay in bed all day, unable to speak or move, it was too painful to live like this, it was better to die. ”

Yan Ran frowned slightly, noncommittal to Jin Luan's approach.

Jin Luan suddenly laughed again, his smile was strange and weird: "Moreover, only when she dies can I leave this cage!" She can be liberated, I can be liberated, the best of both worlds, why not? ”

Yan Ran was too lazy to despise Jin Luan's glorified hypocrisy and selfishness, she was more concerned about one other thing: "Other than that, what else did you say to the Queen Mother?" ”

Jin Luan didn't sell Guan Zi either, and replied directly: "I also said that you designed to kill the eldest princess." ”

Yan Ran's hand in his sleeve tightened, his face did not move, but his eyes looked at Jin Luan fiercely: "You dare to frame me!" ”

Jin Luan saw Yan Ran's angry appearance, but she was even happier: "So what, anyway, the Queen Mother believes it." And she's going to put you to death! ”

Yan Ran was not frightened by Jin Luan's words, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Luan didn't know the truth about Minyang's death, but he just framed Yan Ran with nonsense, which was no threat to her.

Jin Luan saw that Yan Ran looked indifferent, and took out a scroll from his sleeve pocket: "Oh, I don't believe you." ”

Yan Ran opened it and looked at it, and suddenly felt a chill surging through his body, and his blood coagulated.

It was a decree, the content of which was to execute Yan Ran, and the seal of the Queen Mother was impressively printed at the place where it was made, which was genuine.

It seems that the Queen Mother trusted Jin Luan very much, not only believed her words, but also secretly asked her to write down this decree and hand it over to her for safekeeping.

Jin Luan looked smug and looked at Yan Ran with a smile: "How about it, let's believe it now!" ”

Yan Ran grabbed Yi Zhi tightly and forced herself to stay calm: "What do you want to do?" ”

If Jin Luan's purpose was to kill her, he could have directly announced his decree instead of coming to her to show off.

Therefore, she must have her own purpose, such as using this edict to coerce Yan Ran to do something.

Sure enough, Jin Luan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "I want to leave here, and I need a lot of money to ensure that I will be rich for the rest of my life." ”

In order to escape Xiao Zun's killer, Jin Luan stayed in the palace in the name of praying for the queen mother, which made everyone think she was very filial.

Now that the Queen Mother is dead, in order to maintain her personality, she has to pretend to continue to ask for blessings, and even guard the tomb or something.

But these days are too hard, she is fed up, she wants to leave here and live a life of pleasure.

Yan Ran listened to Jin Luan's appeal, and her heart was relieved.

It turned out that Jin Luan instigated the Queen Mother to threaten Yan Ran to help her leave the palace, as long as Jin Luan asked for something, things would be easy to do.

Yan Ran's fingers tapped lightly on Yi Zhi, and said casually: "Yi Zhi is already in my hands, what leverage do you have to negotiate with me?" ”

Jin Luan smiled unhurriedly, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice: "Do you think that there is only one decree for this?" ”

Yan Ran's eyelids moved slightly, that is to say, Jin Luan had another decree in her hand to execute her.

On the same day, Jin Luan informed the Queen Mother that Yan Ran had designed to kill Minyang, and proposed to the Queen Mother that Yan Ran be executed.

The Queen Mother trusted Jin Luan very much, so she showed her where the seal treasure was with her eyes.

Jin Luan wrote down the content of the decree and stamped it with a seal, just in case, she said that the queen mother had one decree and two styles.

Jin Luan looked at Yan Ran's thoughtful appearance, and there was a threat in his tone: "I have lived in the palace for so many years, and naturally I have some connections and connections, so you don't have to think about finding out where the other Yi is located." I'll only give you two days, and instead of bothering to find something, you should think about how to help me get out of the palace. As long as I successfully leave the palace, I will naturally hand over the decree to you. ”

Jin Luan said, and put on an indifferent appearance: "If this matter doesn't work out, I'm fine, it's just that I continue to lose my freedom, but you will lose your life because of it." ”

Jin Luan has nothing now, but shows the momentum of not being afraid of heaven and earth, so that people have no way to take her.

Yan Ran was puzzled: "Since you can coax the Queen Mother to give me death, why don't you just ask for a decree for yourself to leave the palace?" ”

Jin Luan wanted to do this, but if she made this request, the Empress Dowager would doubt her intentions.

After getting the Yin Bao, she even thought about leaving a decree for herself directly.

But the Queen Mother just can't communicate with people normally, but it's not that she can't make a sound, if she notices that Jin Luan has different intentions, as long as she babbles twice, she can attract people from the palace.

At that time, Jin Luan, who took the Empress Dowager's seal and wrote the edict privately, I am afraid that he will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Jin Luan only had one chance, and she never dared to make a mistake by half a step, so she could only use the method of saving the country with a curve to coerce Yan Ran to help her.

It is not difficult for Jin Luan to want money, but it is a little difficult to leave the palace.

Yan Ran also has a way, the simplest is to let Jin Luan take the fake death medicine developed by Mo Sui, saying that she was too sad to go with the Queen Mother, and then dig her out after being buried.

However, after taking this medicine, the person will fall into a deep coma, unconscious, and look like death.

How could Jin Luan be willing to entrust herself to Yan Ran defenselessly, in case Yan Ran had a murderous intent halfway through, what if she really died, she didn't dare to take this risk.

Jin Luan didn't agree with this plan, and Yan Ran had to think of another way.

Qingxuan offered advice to Yan Ran: "Madam, wouldn't it be better if you used the disguise technique to change the appearance of Princess Jinluan and take her out of the palace directly?" ”

Yan Ran said: "Although Jin Luan is not taken seriously, she is the princess of the saint's own title, and the princess's disappearance is not a trivial matter, and the saint will definitely investigate it to the end." ”

Qingxuan said again: "What's so difficult about that? Wouldn't you just dress up your slave and maid as her and let her fake her death? ”

Yan Ran hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, although you can take medicine and fake your death, there are still risks." Moreover, there are many highly skilled imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Department, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to pass the test in confusion. ”

Yan Ran dared to risk with Jin Luan, but she didn't dare to risk with Qingxuan.

Xian Luo proposed: "Madam, maybe you can go to Yizhuang to find a fresh female corpse, and have a stealing beam with Princess Jinluan." ”

Yan Ran also thought about this method, but she couldn't take a car when she entered the palace, and even the things she brought had to be carefully checked, how could she transport a corpse into the palace in a hidden way?

Yan Ran hadn't come up with a solution yet, so she could only instruct Xian Luo: "You go to Yizhuang first." ”

Even with this method, it would take some time to make a human skin mask, and Yan Ran had to discuss it with Jin Luan again, which delayed the original time limit.

A few days later, a suitable female corpse was found, and the human skin mask was made, but Yan Ran still had no way to bring it into the palace.

Yan Ran originally didn't want to implicate more people, but now she had to ask Zhang Yunzong for help.

When Zhang Yunzong learned about this, he was terrified: "There is such a thing? That Princess Jinluan is so hateful! ”

Zhang Yunzong was angry and afraid, but he still helped Yan Ran find a way to say: "During this time, the palace has to prepare for the funeral of the Queen Mother, as well as the rituals and ceremonies to worship the heavens, and there are many vehicles entering and leaving the palace every day to transport the items needed for these festivals, so it is not a big problem." ”

With Zhang Yunzong's help, the matter was quickly resolved.

Jin Luan looked at the corpse that was exactly the same as himself, and sighed: "It's really like, even I can't tell the difference." ”

Now, Jin Luan is wearing Qingxuan's appearance.

Yan Ran tried her best to suppress the annoyance in her heart that was controlled by others: "Let's go." ”

Yan Ran took Jin Luan out of the palace and came to the gate of the palace, just in time to meet a convoy transporting goods to the palace being checked, so they had to wait first.

When the convoy passed, Yan Ran continued to move forward, but when she passed by the vehicle, she smelled a trace of unusual breath.

"Stop!"

Yan Ran suddenly shouted, startling everyone around her.

Yan Ran stopped the head of the car and asked, "What's on the car?" ”

The soldier escorting the car glanced at Yan Ran impatiently: "What does it have to do with you?" ”

Yan Ran often went in and out of the palace, and the guards on shift all recognized her, and they came up to explain to her: "Imperial Doctor Yan, the car is loaded with potted plants for arranging the mourning hall and the altar. ”

Jin Luan was in a hurry to get out of the palace, not wanting to cause more trouble, so he dragged Yan Ran and whispered: "Yan Ran, what are you doing?" Let's hurry up! ”

Yan Ran insisted that the guards re-check.

Because of Yan Ran's identity, the guards had to do so and let the soldiers escorting the car open the boxes on the car.

Yan Ran stepped forward and saw that the box was indeed full of potted flowers and trees, with a strong aroma, covering up the unusual smell, but she still caught it keenly.

Yan Ran's eyes quickly wandered around the box for a week, and finally landed on the flower pot, and then reached out and picked up a handful of soil in the pot and put it on the lower end of her nose to sniff lightly.

Seeing Yan Ran's action, the faces of several soldiers escorting the car suddenly changed, and they quietly moved towards a car in the middle.
