Chapter 173: I'll Protect You
On the way, Zhen Yu held Yan Ran's hand tightly, his face was full of worry, and he complained: "Sister Yan, the saint is so much older than you, why is he ......?"
Zhen Yu almost said disrespectfully that Emperor Sheng was an old pervert.
However, this is also true.
Emperor Sheng is lustful and likes beauties the most.
Although he has grown older in recent years, he has not expanded the harem as aggressively as before, but there is never a shortage of beauties around him, and even occasionally the Qinglou Oiran is integrated into the palace, which makes people secretly laugh.
Therefore, Yan Ran is confident, and with her appearance, she will definitely be able to attract the attention of Emperor Sheng.
The simple Zhen Yu didn't see at all that Yan Ran did it on purpose, and she was bent on holding grievances for her.
Yan Ran couldn't tell her about those conspiracies, so she could only assure her: "Yu'er, you don't have to worry about me, I won't enter the palace." ”
Zhen Yu was convinced of Yan Ran's words, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "I knew that Sister Yan was resourceful and must have a way!" ”
When Yan Ran returned to the house, it was getting late.
She was not in a hurry to rest, and lay under the lamp to write hard.
Xian Luo came in and said, "Girl, Wen Qi asks to see you." ”
Qingxuan, who was grinding on the side, was slightly surprised: "It's so late, why is he here?" ”
Yan Ran said, "Let him in." ”
Since the theft of the Yan Mansion, the guards have become more stringent.
Unless there is a top master like Fanmo, people around him can't come and go freely without being noticed.
Therefore, Wen Qi also enjoyed the treatment of being carried around by Fan Mo once.
This made Wen Qi feel a lot weaker after seeing Yan Ran: "Miss Yan, you keep saying that you are pleasing to my son-in-law, but you turned around and ran to glory and wealth, I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person!" What do you mean by today? ”
Yan Ran didn't answer, but asked, "My cousin asked you to come?" ”
"Childe, he ......"
Wen Qi was about to say that Wen Rongan vomited blood and fainted when he returned home.
But before Wen Rong'an fainted, he also told him not to tell Yan Ran about it, so as not to worry her.
Wen Qi was not angry in his heart, but he couldn't go against Wen Rong'an's wishes, so he changed his words and said: "Son, he has already made a statement to the saint early in the morning, and he has already dispelled the idea of the saint taking a concubine for the second prince, why can't you wait longer?" ”
Yan Ran keenly captured the key message in Wen Qi's words: "Speak to the saint? ”
Wen Rong'an had just entered Yulinwei, and although he was Emperor Sheng's guard, it was impossible for him to gain his trust so quickly, unless......
Yan Ran suddenly understood something: "The person my cousin really took refuge in was the saint?!" ”
Wen Qi couldn't hide it, so he simply said, "Yes." ”
It turned out that Wen Rong'an was used by Emperor Sheng early on, and under his instruction, he approached the crown prince and Xiao Zun respectively to control the balance of power between the two parties and ensure the concentration of imperial power.
The matter is extremely secretive and involves a wide range of people, so it is no wonder that he cannot tell it directly.
Yan Ran suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
Wen Rong'an walked between the father, son, monarch and minister, exhausted and exhausted, such as walking on a tightrope, if he was not careful, he would fall to pieces.
This may also be the reason why she has been conditioning his body for a long time, but it still has little effect.
This is a place of right and wrong, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time.
Yan Ran's eyes were firm, she lowered her head and finished writing the remaining words, handed over the thick stack of letters to Wen Qi, and said, "Bring this letter to my cousin, he will naturally understand my intentions after reading it." ”
Wen Qi originally came to ask Yan Ran for an explanation on behalf of Wen Rongan, but he was regarded as an errand runner and reluctantly accepted the letter.
At night, the wind and rain were raging, and the thunder was roaring.
Yan Ran woke up suddenly, and subconsciously looked at Wen Rong'an beside her.
In the flickering lightning, Wen Rong'an's extremely painful complexion was slightly hideous, but he couldn't bear it for fear of waking Yan Ran, and he didn't say a word.
Yan Ran rushed over in a panic: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”
saw that Wen Rong'an's pillow was full of blood, and his clothes had already been soaked with sweat.
Wen Rong'an's face was pale without a trace of blood, and he said weakly: "Ranran, I can't survive anyway, you can escape alone." Take me with you, you won't be able to go far. ”
Yan Ran lay on Wen Rong'an's chest, melting tears into his sweaty clothes: "Cousin, life and death are the same acupuncture, you used to protect me, and I will protect you in the future." ”
In the blink of an eye, they came to a cliff again.
Xiao Zun led people to press behind him step by step, and he had already pushed them into a desperate situation.
However, he still felt that it was not enough, and with a bow and arrow in his hand, he accurately shot Wen Rong'an's eyebrows from a hundred miles away.
Wen Rongan didn't even have time to say a last word, and he ran out of breath.
Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an who fell in front of her, her whole body was enveloped by powerless despair, her tears couldn't flow, and she looked at Xiao Zun indifferently.
I saw that Xiao Zun's face was full of ambition, but the next moment, he was replaced by panic.
Yan Ran inserted the dagger into her chest, and with the last bit of strength, she jumped off the cliff with Wen Rong'an in her arms.
In the process of falling, Yan Ran hugged Wen Rong'an tightly, absorbing the last trace of warmth on his body.
However, the cliff is so long, the boundless cold silence, the boundless pain, how can it not fall to the end.
"Ahh
Yan Ran struggled for a long time, and finally shouted and got rid of the nightmare.
Qingxuan was coming in with a basin of water, and when she saw that Yan Ran was out of focus and sweating profusely, she hurriedly twisted a handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe her sweat.
Qingxuan's eyes were worried: "Girl, are you having nightmares again?" ”
Yan Ran hadn't dreamed of anything in her previous life for a long time, but Xu was stimulated by the sudden learning of Wen Rong'an's difficult situation and painstaking planning last night.
He was also like this in his previous life, in order to gain power to get rid of Minyang's control, he exhausted his mental strength and dragged his body down.
Wen Rong'an's weakness has been a long time, if he is left alone, and he is allowed to continue to work hard, I am afraid that even if he does not die under Xiao Zun's arrow in this life, he will die young.
Yan Ran's eyes were solemn, it seemed that she had to speed up her movements.
Seeing that Yan Ran was depressed, Qingxuan turned to talk about other things to distract her: "Girl, there are a lot of good things in the palace early in the morning. The lord will let you marry at home with peace of mind, and he will prepare a dowry for you. ”
Now, not only has the Wen family been emptied by Yan Ran, but Master Yan's savings have also been stolen by Yan Ran.
But if Yan Ran wants to enter the palace, the dowry she brings must not be shabby, and Master Yan is smashing the pot and selling iron, and he has to buy a decent dowry for her.
It's good that the Yan Mansion will become an empty shell after this is over.
Yan Ran's mood warmed up slightly, and she asked again, "What about the Wen family?" ”
Qingxuan smiled mysteriously: "According to your orders, everything has been arranged." ”
Although Wen's hands were not rich, he still prayed for Yan Yao to offer lamps in Xiangguo Temple, and asked the Taoist monks to divinate whether the fetus in Yan Yao's womb was male or female, and secretly used a lot of money to buy a home remedies.
She took several insurances one after another, all hoping that Yan Yao could get a man in one fell swoop, give birth to the eldest son of the Dingguo Mansion, and sit in the position of the Duchess of the Kingdom.
Wen came to visit Yan Yao excitedly, and said to her: "Yao'er, don't worry, I have already calculated with a master, this baby in your womb is a boy!" ”
When Yan Yao heard this, she also felt suddenly enlightened, and her heart became more stable.
While the two were talking, Laneige came to deliver the fetal pills.
Wen was immediately alert, and said with a smile: "It's just a bowl of fetal medicine, just ask someone to send it, how dare you bother Aunt Lanzhi?" ”
Wen said, getting up and going to serve the medicine himself.
Lanzhi seemed to see Wen's purpose, avoided her hand, and said expressionlessly: "The eldest princess attaches great importance to the fetus of her wife, and instructs the slave maid to serve her well, and the slave and maid dare not slack off. ”
Yan Yao gently tugged Wen and said in a low voice, "Mother, I drink this medicine every day." ”
When Wen heard this, he thought that since it was a decoction that Yan Yao took every day, there should be no problem.
Besides, what Minyang wants to do, he will not be so blatant and fall into the hands of others.
Lanzhi stared at Yan Yao and drank the decoction, took the bowl and retired.
After Lanzhi left, Wen said: "It's just a subordinate, and he dares to show us a look, a dog fights people!" ”
Although Yan Yao was unwilling, she was clearer than Wen's: "Aunt Lanzhi has served the eldest princess for many years, and she is deeply favored, and even the little grandfather has to treat her with courtesy." ”
Wen snorted dissatisfiedly, and said: "Speaking of this dog's strength, Yan Ran's little slut is also one!" Since she got the will to enter the palace, relying on the power of the saint, her tail is about to rise to the sky! She is obviously very rich, and she wants me and your father to prepare a dowry for her, phew, shameless! But because of her identity, I dare not speak out. I wish I had poisoned her, but she's a master of medicine......"
Wen originally wanted to vomit as soon as possible, but the more he talked, the more angry he became.
Yan Yao remembered Yan Ran's methods, shuddered, and comforted Wen: "Mother, it's not a bad thing for her to enter the palace." Once she is favored as a concubine, the Yan Mansion will also rise, and the eldest princess will also look down on me. ”
Wen thought about it and felt that what Yan Yao said was reasonable.
In the future, Yan Ran will stand by and watch, but as long as there is the identity of the emperor's favorite concubine, Minyang will be more or less jealous, and he will not be too embarrassed by Yan Yao.
Wen was just thinking about it, and suddenly heard Yan Yao snort in pain.
Wen hurriedly asked, "Yao'er, what's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
Yan Yao covered her stomach and shouted with a painful expression: "Mother, I suddenly have a stomachache, and it hurts more and more!" ”
Yan Yao is pregnant, and a stomachache is not a trivial matter.
Wen was anxious, and shouted: "Don't go and call the doctor yet!" ”
Dusty Frost ran out in response, but soon went and returned, with a look of urgency: "Madam, there are guards guarding outside, and the slaves and maids can't get out!" ”
"What?"
Wen stood up abruptly and scolded: "You can make it clear, it is the Duchess of Dingguo who is unwell, and the eldest son of the Dingguo Mansion in her belly!" ”
Dusty Frost cried anxiously: "The slave maid said it, but the guard said that the eldest princess had lost something very valuable, and she was looking for it in the closed mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave!" The slave and maid wanted to ask someone to go and tell her, but no one paid attention to the slave and maid! ”
Wen suddenly understood that what was lost and searched for was clearly an excuse, the purpose was to trap them here, so that Yan Yao could not seek medical treatment in time!
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with that bowl of tocolytics.
Wen was furious, his eyes were split, and he strode out.
