Chapter 230: Trouble
These things that Xiao Zun made trouble, accompanied by the feathering of a real person, ended in such a hurry.
Xiao Zun was injured, which made Emperor Sheng angry, and Yan Ran's side also lost a real person, and both sides were injured, and no one was left behind.
However, Xiao Zun soon made a comeback.
"Girl, Prince Gong today has offered a longevity pill to the saint. It is said that to refine this elixir, you need to use the flesh and blood of your loved ones as a guide. Prince Gong cut his flesh and bleed, which moved the saint very much, and praised him for his filial piety to heaven and earth, and rewarded him with a lot of good things! ”
Qingxuan slammed the basket containing herbs in her hand onto the table, angry.
She now lives in the palace with Yan Ran, and she has nothing to do on weekdays, so she goes out to gossip with the little palace maids in her spare time, as if she has become a bag in this palace.
When she heard about this, she was so angry that she hurriedly ran back and complained to Yan Ran: "The girl and the concubine have suffered so much grievance, and a real person has lost his life because of this, and the saint has not punished Prince Gong, and now he has forgiven him so easily!" ”
Qingxuan also knew that this kind of thing could not be discussed, and it was a great disrespectful sin to be heard, so she could only grit her teeth and whisper hatred.
Yan Ran sighed lightly, she had long expected such a result.
After quelling the rebels of King Yongning, the prince lost his sacred heart and gradually declined; Xiao Ming, who had just escaped from the death of the Great Yue Kingdom, was an idiot again, and now the most powerful candidate for the position of prince was only Xiao Zun.
Not only did the ministers see the wind and steer, but Emperor Sheng also valued Xiao Zun in his heart, although there were times when he was angry with him, but he would not be too harsh on him because of an outsider.
Therefore, Emperor Sheng did not continue to investigate the cause of the Queen Mother's sudden illness, nor did he investigate where the witchcraft that cursed Concubine Yun came from.
In addition to changing all the palace people in Shoukang Palace, Emperor Sheng only treated these things as if these things had not happened, and even Master Huihai, who was bribed by Xiao Zun for perjury, also retreated, which can be said to protect Xiao Zun's face.
"What are you thinking?"
Wen Rongan walked in carrying two boxes of pine milk fruit cakes, interrupting Yan Ran's thoughts.
In order to take care of the Queen Mother and the support of Concubine Yun, Yan Ran did not go to the Imperial Doctor's Office every day, but only went back and forth between Shoukang Palace and Shouning Palace.
Wen Rong'an often goes in and out, and every time she comes back from the palace, she will bring her some outside food and gadgets to coax a child.
Yan Ran got up and greeted him, took the pastries in his hand, and asked Qingxuan to send a box to Xiao Ming.
She pulled Wen Rong'an into the house, closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, how is the prince?" ”
Wen Rongan said: "The prince was born as the pride of the sky, and he has never encountered blows and setbacks. Fortunately, the crown princess was gentle and firm, never gave up, and worked hard to persuade him every day, and he is much better now. ”
Yan Ran was silent, she understood why Wen Rong'an chose to assist Xiao Zun in her previous life, instead of the prince who took advantage of the right time and place from the beginning.
The prince obviously has a good hand, but he was dragged down by Xiao Zunsheng, which shows that his ability is indeed insufficient.
Although Emperor Sheng had the intention to abolish the prince, but the matter was put on hold for the time being because the queen mother fell ill, and he was still in the position of the crown prince, but he didn't think about how to turn the tables against the wind, but gave up on himself, and he was too fragile.
Although Xiao Zun is not a good person, at least he is still very ambitious, and the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes.
Thinking of the prince's previous ambition to recruit beautiful concubines, which made the princess sad, but now the princess is staying together, Yan Ran can't help but sigh.
She sighed lightly: "I hope that the crown prince can take responsibility after this incident, and don't let down the crown princess again." ”
Wen Rong'an forbade his nose and was noncommittal: "I just hope he doesn't drag us back." ”
Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an's slightly childish appearance, smiled lightly, and then said: "Xiao Zun has coaxed the Holy Lord so quickly, the next step is to introduce the Taoist master to the Holy Lord!" ”
Xiao Zun took such a lot of effort and designed layer by layer, which was nothing more than taking a fancy to the right of a real person to speak in front of Emperor Sheng, and wanted to make his own people replace him.
After all, if this person who could influence Emperor Sheng's decision could be used by him, wouldn't it be like a tiger to him.
Wen Rongan opened the box, took out a piece of fruit cake and sent it to Yan Ran's mouth, and said lightly: "He just designed to force away a real person, and then rashly recommended others, isn't his mind too obvious." So, he still needs to wait for the right time. ”
Yan Ran took a bite of the fluffy and glutinous pastry with Wen Rongan's hand, but her mind was not here at all.
She was a little strange, Xiao Zun's previous style of acting could be described as ruthless and fast, but now she is much more cautious.
He first led the cause of the Queen Mother's illness to the evil spirit, and it was logical to propose the search of the palace; After that, witch puppets and sashes were found in Concubine Yun's bedroom, which could not only push the cursed Queen Mother's illness onto Concubine Yun's body, but also get rid of a real person at the same time, and also hit a wave of Yan Ran who joined forces with Concubine Yun by the way.
Interlocking, logical, killing three birds with one stone, and ending up with a good strategy.
If it weren't for Yan Ran's sideways intervention, which disrupted his plan, and gained insight into the matter of the witch Gu in advance, I am afraid that he would have been defeated by him.
It's just that this doesn't seem to be Xiao Zun's means, could it be someone else's idea for him, and who could it be?
Yan Ran was wandering in her thoughts, and suddenly felt a warm wetness overflowing the corners of her lips.
She came back to her senses, but saw that Wen Rongan had just withdrawn her tongue and licked her lips unsatisfied.
Yan Ran's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what Wen Rong'an had just done.
Looking at Yan Ran's shocked appearance, Wen Rongan was a little weak-hearted, but he still said quite innocently: "The corner of your mouth is stained with pastry." ”
So, wouldn't it be nice to wipe her off with your hands???
Yan Ran quickly calmed down, a wicked smile appeared on her face, and she slowly approached Wen Rong'an.
The fragrant breath penetrated into the nostrils, and the warm breath was entangled, Wen Rong'an couldn't help but feel uneasy, but he didn't move, waiting for the little cousin's initiative to kiss, with an expression of expectation and enjoyment.
Yan Ran couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she thought that she could see her cousin's shy appearance with white skin and red like before, but she didn't expect that before she knew it, the thickness of his skin was already comparable to the city wall!
Hey, her cousin, it's getting harder and harder!
Wen Rong'an was right, Xiao Zun seemed to be waiting for the opportunity to hit the blow, so he didn't move for a long time and stopped for the time being.
Therefore, Yan Ran didn't wait for Xiao Zun's next move, so she waited for the Shangsi Festival first.
The days of spring are warm, and it is a time for rest, so naturally we must not live up to the good times.
Yan Ran went out of the palace with Wen Rong'an, and made an appointment with Zhen Yu and Mu Changfeng, as well as Zhao Yu and Song Xinhong, the county lords of Min'an, and the group went to play in a mighty way.
Along the way, a lot of gossip came into Yan Ran's ears.
"That girl is a miracle doctor from Beining, I thought that the women in the border city were rough and rough, but I didn't expect her to be so good-looking!"
"Where is she from Beining, you didn't know when you first came to Anyang, she is the eldest daughter of the family of Lord Shangshuyan of the household department, and she was once favored by the saint, and almost entered the palace as a concubine! However, she was later assassinated and her whereabouts are unknown. Now I don't know what adventures I had, but I came back with a medical skill and became the only female imperial doctor in our Shengguo today! ”
"Entering the palace as a concubine? But I heard that in order to reward her and Lord Wen for their meritorious deeds in Bac Ninh and Yingdu, the Holy Lord gave her and Lord Wen a marriage! ”
"Tsk, I think it's because she has been living in the people for a long time, her reputation has been lost, and the saint doesn't want her anymore, so she found an excuse to marry her to others!"
"Ah, Lord Wen is young and promising, but he has to marry a woman with a bad reputation, isn't it very wronged!"
"Look at her foxy appearance, she hasn't married Lord Wen yet, she is so disregarding etiquette and behaving intimately, it's really not ashamed!"
"But no, she hasn't been out of her filial piety yet, so she's in such a hurry to come out and show her face!"
……
Yan Ran didn't feel anything when she listened to these discussions about her, but teased Wen Rong'an and said, "I didn't expect me to be quite famous, didn't I, Lord Wen?" ”
Wen Rong'an had a calm face, a faint hint of fierceness between his eyebrows, and whispered Fanmo to take someone to investigate, he suspected that someone was deliberately spreading rumors to slander Yan Ran's reputation.
Mu Changfeng only knew that everyone else was talking about Yan Ran, but he didn't hear those harsh words, and he felt honored to be her friend: "That's, you don't know how famous you are now!" A few days ago, people who went to Yanfu for medical treatment lined up outside. But it's a pity, you are the imperial doctor, specializing in diagnosing the Queen Mother, and those people can't even touch your feet! ”
Zhen Yu glanced at Mu Changfeng helplessly, grabbed Yan Ran's arm, and comforted her: "Sister Yan, these people are just idle chewing tongues, don't be like them, get angry in vain!" ”
Zhao Yu was very angry, and was about to step forward with a cold face: "I see who dares to talk nonsense, I'll tear her mouth!" ”
Yan Ran hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't care." ”
Of course, Yan Ran will not be affected by these rumors and her good mood for traveling, but she is gentle and peaceful, and she thinks that someone is deliberately smearing Yan Ran.
However, even if someone did it deliberately, this method of slandering her reputation is too low-level, but she is ordered to fall in love.
But a beautiful day does not mean that it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and Yan Ran is probably really not suitable to travel today.
No, if she doesn't look for trouble, trouble will come to her.
A young woman dressed plainly but with a good face blocked Yan Ran's way, holding a small baby in her arms.
Yan Ran thought that this woman was the same as the mother who stopped the horse on the street in Bac Ninh, and she came to seek medical treatment for the child in her arms, and she was quite kindly concerned: "This lady, but what's wrong with the child?" ”
Who knows, the woman knelt in front of Yan Ran with a plop, and cried loudly: "Miss Yan, the concubine knows that you are a good person, please behave well, intercede with Lord Yan, and take our mother and son into the house!" This world is difficult, and we orphans and widows really can't live! Even if you don't want to be a concubine, at least take the child back, this is his own son, your own brother! ”
Yan Ran: "??? ”
