Yan Ran was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Liu Yuan's envoy said: "There is no shortage of military doctors in the army, what are you going to do?" ”

Yan Ran explained: "Lord Liu, this time the Holy Lord only allocated 5,000 troops, where can I still care about equipping military doctors......

Envoy Liu interrupted Yan Ran's words: "As far as I know, they are fully equipped with logistics and manpower, and there is no shortage of you." ”

Yan Ran was stunned, it turned out that among the 5,000 people allocated by Emperor Sheng to Wen Rong'an, there were also military doctors, men and other logistics personnel, how many people could really go to the front line?

Yan Ran was even more determined to accompany Wen Rongan: "Since the court envoy does not allow it, then the official can only resign." ”

The envoy of the Liu Yuan said: "You are resigned, and you can't leave immediately." I also have to report to Taichang Temple, and Taichang Temple also has to file with the Ministry of Households, which will take at least a month or two to approve at this level. When you finish your resignation, maybe the battle will be over. ”

Yan Ran opened her mouth and was suddenly speechless.

Envoy Liu looked at Yan Ran's appearance, and finally couldn't bear it.

He sighed helplessly and said to her truthfully: "Don't you understand, although I don't know what happened, but all this is the meaning of the Holy One." ”

Yan Ran finally understood that Emperor Sheng wanted to keep her in Anyang as a hostage to hold Wen Rong'an hostage.

Sheng Guo does not advocate that soldiers be outside, and family members must stay as hostages, so as not to chill their hearts.

On the contrary, in order to encourage the soldiers to protect their families and defend the country, they were allowed to bring their families.

Yan Ran originally wanted to go with Wen Rongan as a military doctor, so that it would be more convenient for her to enter and leave the barracks.

Even if the envoy of the Liu Yuan refused, she could resign and accompany her as a family member, but she didn't expect Emperor Sheng to be so wary of Wen Rong'an.

After Yan Ran returned home, the queen mother's decree came from the palace, announcing her to accompany her in the palace.

The Queen Mother has been in bed for a long time, and she can't speak at all, and she has been even more confused recently, where can she still give an order, this is clearly what Emperor Sheng meant.

Yan Ran was unwilling, and wanted to think of another way.

Wen Rongan comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." If you stay in Anyang, I will feel more at ease. ”

Where can Yan Ran rest assured: "But, you bring so few people......

Wen Rongan calmly analyzed: "Although Xiao Zun has taken a city, the local garrison may not want to rebel. They are not those people who have to rebel by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they are not exploited and oppressed, they have received formal training, and they are still loyal to the king in their bones. It's just that now the dragons have no leader, and whoever takes over the city, they will follow. When the conquest army arrives, it will not be difficult to rebel against them. As for the uprisings and rebels, after all, they are just ordinary people who have gathered together temporarily, and as long as they are operated properly, they can become a plate of loose sand. ”

Yan Ran worried: "But those ordinary people helped Xiao Zun seize control of the city, I think it's a bit evil." ”

Wen Rongan also felt that this matter was a little strange, and said solemnly: "Well, I will secretly investigate their details first, and I will not easily deal with them." ”

Seeing that Yan Ran was still frowning, Wen Rongan gently pinched her face and brought her back to her senses: "I promise, for you, I will definitely come back safely." ”

Yan Ran responded sullenly: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Wen Rong'an smiled, leaned close to her ear, and said in a dumb voice: "Madam, if you say goodbye tomorrow, you won't be able to see each other for a while, the spring night is short, don't live up to the good day......"

Yan Ran's bad mood dissipated in Wen Rong'an's impropriety, she reached out and hooked his belt, and smiled seductively: "Okay!" ”

In the past, Wen Rong'an was still able to sit still, but now that he knows the taste, where can he stand this kind of teasing.

The next day, Wen Rong'an got up early and left.

Yan Ran was so tired that she fell asleep, but she couldn't send him off.

Yan Ran sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, there was no warmth around her before, her heart was empty, and her nose was sore.

When Qingxuan came in, what she saw was Yan Ran's stunned look.

As soon as the two separated, Yan Ran began to miss Wen Rong'an, and as the days went by, she couldn't miss it yet!

Qingxuan couldn't bear it and felt distressed, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Madam, my lord Jiren has his own natural appearance, don't worry too much." Otherwise, the adults are fine, but you hurt yourself. ”

Yan Ran sighed lightly, cheered up, got up and prepared to enter the palace.

After entering the palace, Yan Ran still lived in Concubine Yun's Shouning Palace.

Seeing Yan Ran obediently entering the palace, Emperor Sheng no longer cared about her.

With the company of Concubine Yun and Xiao Ming, Yan Ran's days are not boring, accompany the Queen Mother and Concubine Yun to talk, and then accompany Xiao Ming to endorse.

spent a period of time peacefully, and one night, Yan Ran was suddenly woken up by the sudden lights and bustling voices outside.

Qingxuan and Xian Luo hurriedly came in and helped Yan Ran: "Madam, the Queen Mother is not good!" ”

Yan Ran was excited, quickly got up, hurriedly put on her clothes with the help of Qingxuan and Xianluo, and went straight to Shoukang Palace.

There is a royal doctor on duty every night in Shoukang Palace in case of accidents.

It was Imperial Doctor Li who was on duty tonight, and Yan Ran and Concubine Yun lived closely, and they were the first to arrive.

Concubine Yun hurriedly asked, "Imperial Doctor Li, how is the Empress Dowager?" ”

Imperial Doctor Li stopped talking, looked at Yan Ran and said, "Imperial Doctor Yan, go and take a look!" ”

Yan Ran hurriedly walked inside, and Imperial Doctor Li followed up and whispered to her, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't be able to survive this time." ”

Since the Queen Mother became ill and bedridden, unable to speak or move, her body has become weaker and weaker day by day, and she has been in critical condition several times.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw Yan Ran, her originally cloudy eyes suddenly shot out a fine light, and the cold hatred in her eyes seemed to tear her apart, which startled Yan Ran.

At this time, Emperor Sheng came and sat in front of the Queen Mother with tears in his eyes.

Yan Ran didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly stepped aside.

The Queen Mother seemed to be back to the light, and her arm, which had been stiff for a long time, was slowly raised, holding Emperor Sheng's wrist tightly, and calling in a vague voice: "Xiao...... ......"

Emperor Sheng's expression paused slightly, and then his eyes were hot, but his throat was tight, and he couldn't say a word.

The queen mother called Minyang's maiden name, probably because she wanted to see her again before she died.

But Minyang is dead, and Emperor Sheng has no way to meet the queen mother's wishes, and he blames himself and regrets.

The Queen Mother called a few times, let go of Emperor Sheng, and pointed at Yan Ran tremblingly.

Yan Ran's heart was suddenly, and she immediately knelt beside the bed, grabbed the queen mother's hand, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "The queen mother ...... mother"

Yan Ran couldn't cry, and the grief and reluctance on her face were moving.

Emperor Sheng raised his hand and wiped the corners of his slightly moist eyes, missing the trace of hatred that the Queen Mother looked at Yan Ran.

The Queen Mother's movements exhausted all her strength, and she quickly lowered her arms and slowly closed her eyes.

Emperor Sheng mourned: "Queen Mother! ”

Everyone fell to their knees, and there was a faint sound of wailing.

Yan Ran hung her head, her shoulders trembled, she looked very sad, but she was puzzled and frightened by the Queen Mother's resentful eyes.

The Queen Mother died, and after the grief, Emperor Sheng sprinkled his anger on others: "The Queen Mother was fine yesterday, why did she go suddenly?" ”

Several imperial doctors were sincerely afraid, and carefully worded: "Holy Lord, the Queen Mother has been suffering for a long time, and it is not easy to persist until now......

Emperor Sheng has heard these words many times.

In fact, he had long been prepared that the Queen Mother might leave at any time, but when it came, he still found it difficult to accept, and even became obsessed with it.

His face became more and more ugly, and he suddenly said angrily: "The Queen Mother suddenly mentioned the eldest princess, could it be that someone chewed her tongue in front of the Queen Mother, so that she knew about the eldest princess, so she suddenly became ill?" You slaves, dare to deliberately murder the Queen Mother, I want you all to be buried for the Queen Mother! ”

The Empress Dowager was ill and weak, and Emperor Sheng was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the blow of Minyang's death, so he ordered that no one should disclose the news to the Empress Dowager.

It was normal for the Queen Mother to mention Minyang before she died, but Emperor Sheng had nowhere to vent his emotions, so he turned his anger on the palace people.

All the palace people were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Holy Lord, spare your life!" Slaves/slaves don't dare! ”

Yan Ran's heart sank, it seems that the Queen Mother should have known that Minyang was dead, and she also knew that this matter was related to her, so that she could explain where the Queen Mother's hatred came from.

However, Emperor Sheng ordered to hide it from the Queen Mother, and no one should be suspicious of the long life to chew the root of the tongue.

And she acted secretly, how could she be known, and she told the Queen Mother, what is the purpose of this person?

The queen over there was dissuading Emperor Sheng and said: "Holy Lord, Minyang has not visited the Queen Mother for a long time, and the Queen Mother is as careful as a hair, so she guessed something." Besides, the Queen Mother has just passed away, and it is not good to see blood in the palace, I am afraid that it will affect the Queen Mother's Yin Blessing! ”

Emperor Sheng was just angry, and with the queen's persuasion, he regained some reason.

But his body was already strong and dry, and his heart was too sad, and his eyes were dark, and he almost fell.

The queen hurriedly supported Emperor Sheng: "Holy Lord! Come on, send the saint to rest! Imperial Doctor Feng, take a look at the saint! ”

There was another period of chaos, Emperor Sheng went to rest, and the queen presided over the overall situation, and summoned relevant officials into the palace overnight to discuss the aftermath of the queen mother.

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Yan Ran.

On the way back, Concubine Yun held Yan Ran's hand and sighed: "It's not in vain that you serve the Queen Mother with all your heart, and the Queen Mother also values you very much." With this guarantee, if you want to come to the Holy Mother and think about it in the future, you will not be too embarrassed. ”

The Queen Mother mentioned Minyang and Yan Ran before she died, where would others think of other places, just because the Queen Mother was reluctant to let these two people go, which invisibly raised Yan Ran's identity.

But only Yan Ran knew in her heart that this matter was not simple.

Sure enough, after Yan Ran returned to the dormitory, she found a note under the pillow.

I guess someone took advantage of the chaos and sneaked in to put it down.

Yan Ran unfolded the note, her pupils trembled suddenly, and she clenched her teeth tightly.
