Chapter 82: A New Beginning
Tang Ying was shocked when she heard the voice, and she couldn't wait to turn back immediately.
It's a pity that her whole person is in Long Feiling's hands, and she can't move at all.
"Back to the prince, the little one went out of the house to do something on the order of the guard." Long Feiling turned around and responded calmly.
Lu Zhan frowned when he heard this, "This king, it's very interesting to look at you. ”
After speaking, Lu Zhan walked towards them step by step, as if to explore the identity of the person in front of him.
Seeing this scene, although Tang Ying couldn't speak or move, her eyes were very excited. Just when he saw that Lu Zhan was about to walk in front of them.
Suddenly, a hurried call came, "Lord Wang, it's not good, there's an accident in the backyard!" ”
Backyard?
Where Tang Ying lives.
Lu Zhan didn't have any intention to pay attention to these two people, and strode towards the backyard with the comer. It wasn't until he saw Lu Zhan's back disappear without a trace that Long Feiling smiled and said, "Tang girl, it seems that you are destined to be destined to be destined to be destined for this life." ”
Otherwise, how could it be missed again and again.
Tang Ying's face turned pale with anger, and she stopped looking at him directly.
Long Feiling didn't say much, but took Tang Ying and left King Xu's Mansion in a hurry.
It wasn't until the two got into the carriage that Long Feiling unlocked Tang Ying's dumb hole, but even so, Tang Ying didn't say a word.
"Tang girl, don't look at me like this, it's not worth it to be angry with your body." Long Feiling spoke.
Tang Ying remained silent, ignoring his words.
"You're not curious, where will I take you?" Long Feiling asked again.
To be honest, even if Tang Ying scolded him and beat him, it was better than being silent like this.
Although this state of affairs did not last long.
"Wherever you go, it's in vain." Tang Ying finally opened her mouth. The disdain on her face was enough to show that she was not afraid at all.
Long Feiling was not surprised that she would have such a look.
The corners of his mouth just went up, and his smile grew deeper.
At first, Tang Ying didn't care, she was already surprised by Long Feiling's tricks.
But in the end, looking at the carriage that was unimpeded all the way, and Long Feiling's expression of winning more and more. Tang Ying finally couldn't help it, "Who is behind you to help you?" ”
"Tang girl, can't you guess if you're so smart?" Long Feiling did not answer the rhetorical question.
Tang Ying wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at him for a moment, "No matter who that person is, no matter whether he has the ability to reach the sky or not." It would be useless for you to take me away, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake. ”
No matter how well planned, as long as it is in South Vietnam.
She will eventually be found by Lu Zhan, and taking her on such a trip can only be a bamboo basket for nothing.
"But what if you don't remember him anymore?" Long Feiling responded with a smile.
It's just that his smile made Tang Ying suddenly fall into an ice cave.
"No, it can't be. There is no such medicine in the world. Tang Ying shook her head and didn't want to accept it.
Long Feiling didn't argue, he just lifted the curtain casually, looked at the scenery outside, and said: "The scenery of Nanyue is indeed beautiful, but Tang girl, I believe that you will like the place I take you to." ”
"Where are you taking me?" Finally, Tang Ying began to pay attention to this problem.
Just now, she emotionally disagreed.
But intellectually he understood that Long Feiling was most likely not lying.
Otherwise, it would be pointless for him to do so.
"It's a beautiful place, and it's my hometown." After speaking, Long Feiling took advantage of Tang Ying's inattention and quickly pierced an extremely thin silver needle into her body.
The penetration of the silver needle did not make Tang Ying feel pain.
It's like the whole person fell into the quagmire, leaving her with no strength, and then her consciousness became more and more blurred......
But even so, Tang Ying still struggled to the death: "Long Feiling, you won't get your wish!" ”
No, absolutely not!
Long Feiling, smiling wantonly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Sleep, Tang girl, waking up is a new beginning." A beginning that belongs only to us. ”
……
……
Two months later, it was just a snap of a finger for ordinary people. But the South Vietnamese royal family has changed suddenly, and the sky has fallen apart.
First, the ten princes were beheaded by the whole family for killing the monarch and usurping the throne, and then the Nanyue Emperor fell ill. Although he had no worries about his life for the time being, he could no longer go to court, and he completely handed over the power to His Royal Highness King Xu, the future prince of South Vietnam.
To say, why did he pass the throne to King Xu, and not to other princes.
At the beginning, there was a lot of discussion in the South Vietnamese court and even among the people.
Until all sorts of truths begin to come public......
"His Royal Highness King Xu is the son of King Jing, so how can he be regarded as an outsider."
"If it weren't for King Jing's early death, who would have been on this throne, maybe it wouldn't have been."
"There are many heirs of the emperor, but take King Ning and the Ten Princes as examples. That's not the ambition of a wolf, how can such a prince be compared to His Royal Highness King Xu? ”
"That's it! Besides, since His Royal Highness King Xu was an auxiliary government, government affairs and merits have been in his eyes. ”
In the end, all the talk subsided, and under Lu Zhan's rule, there was no civil strife in Nanyue. It's getting more and more smooth.
In this way, neither the court nor the people have anything to say.
But these are only superficial phenomena, and the actual Nanyue Imperial Palace is not as peaceful as this.
It's not.
Inside the Queen Mother's bedchamber.
There was a knock on the door, "Open the door, open the door!" You dog minions, who gave you the courage to imprison the Queen Mother. ”
Honggu spared no effort to slap on the thick palace door.
It's a pity that there was no response at all.
People who don't know think that there is no one out there at all, but in fact this is not the case.
"That's it, Honggu. Take a break. The Queen Mother sighed lightly and said: "Emperor Nanyue, it is a great luck that Ah Zhan can spare our lives if he does this." ”
"However, the Queen Mother has nothing to do with you. This is all a conspiracy between the emperor and the ten princes, and King Xu really shouldn't be angry with you. Honggu said very aggrieved.
After a pause, she said aloud again, "His Royal Highness King Xu, the old slave knows that you are outside. Regarding the matter of Princess Xu, the old slave also expressed deep regret. But the old slave begs you to think about it, how the Queen Mother treated Princess Xu, how she treated you! ”
"All this really has nothing to do with the Queen Mother."
There was still no response from outside.
But Lu Zhan and He Jun were indeed standing outside the door.
Even in front of special mechanisms, they can clearly hear and see every move inside.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something to say." He Jun pondered for a long time and spoke.
Since Tang Ying's disappearance, don't talk about the palace, even people close to He Jun. When he was close to Lu Zhan, he felt that the frost and snow were in his heart, and he was in the cold winter.
But there are some things that He Jun has to say.
"If it's for the Queen Mother, there's no need to say it." Lu Zhansheng said angrily.
He Jun took a step back, bowed and saluted, and bent down to stand aside: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are not interceding for the Queen Mother, but speaking for the princess and the little prince." ”
"He Jun!" Lu Zhan's eyes were scarlet.
Since Tang Ying's disappearance for half a month, many people have avoided the word Tang Ying.
He Jun is good, not only did he mention Tang Ying, but even the child in his womb.
Is it really dying?
Of course, He Jun was fatal, but he still stubbornly said: "Lord Wang, the Nanyue Kingdom has been turned upside down by us. But still nothing. Presumably, the princess is no longer in South Vietnam, but there are 36 countries in the wilderness, and there are countless 72 small countries around. Does the prince want to attack one by one? ”
"It's okay!" Lu Zhan gritted his teeth and said.
As long as Tang Ying can be found, it doesn't matter if Lu Zhan is leveling the world.
As if he had known that he would say this, He Jun was not the slightest surprised. Just continued: "What about the other tribes? The prince also has to capture them one by one? ”
"Even if the prince really captures it, can he really find someone? Long Feiling and Chu Fuyao wouldn't have fled before the prince came? ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Lu Zhan was angry after all.
These days and nights, not to mention falling asleep, he never even closed his eyes. A face that should have been handsome and beautiful also looks blue and white at the moment. The black blue at the moment is even more obvious.
But in this way, the king's momentum on his body is still not diminished in the slightest.
"Lord, the emperor refuses to tell the whereabouts of the princess, and the queen mother may not be unwilling." Telling the truth of this, He Jun had already knelt down.
Lu Zhan sneered softly and said, "He Jun, don't you feel that your words are inconsistent?" Before, you believed that the Queen Mother was not involved, but now you have told the Queen Mother that she knows the whereabouts of Ah Ying. ”
"Is this king confused, or are you being used without knowing it!"
The word trust is Lu Zhan's biggest pain now.
At the beginning, it was because he believed in the Nanyue Emperor too much, and he didn't expect it at all. The person behind the Ten Princes is the Emperor of Nanyue, otherwise how could he be fooled step by step.
In the end, Tang Ying was completely lost.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates don't have it." He Jun understood the knot in his master's heart, but he still said bluntly: "My subordinates believe that the Queen Mother is not involved in this matter, but the Queen Mother must know more about the thoughts of the Emperor of Nanyue than us." ”
"You also said that they are mother and son, who can guarantee that they will not be able to harm this king again?!" Lu Zhan said angrily.
"Lord Wang, we have no choice." He Jun said bluntly: "Old Ancestor, Xufeng, Da Sima, Xiangguo...... All the forces at our disposal have been used. But to find the princess among the kingdoms is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. And the princess didn't have time to wait any longer. ”
Tang Ying's body is special, needless to say, Lu Zhan knows this.
So......
Seeing that he was silent, He Jun said again, "Lord, if the princess is here." She will also agree with her subordinates. ”
"Why do you dare to say that?" When it comes to Tang Ying, Lu Zhan is inevitably a little uncontrollable.
"Because the princess once said that everything must be tried, in case there is hope." He Jun repeated Tang Ying's words word for word.
Hearing this, Lu Zhan was silent for a long time, so long that He Jun thought that he would not get a response.
Lu Zhancai said in a deep voice: "Come on, open the door." ”
As the words fell, the originally closed palace door slowly opened......
The Queen Mother is still standing in place, and she has been imprisoned for two months, and she still looks like she has a lot of manners.
Honggu knelt on the ground with a puff, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness King Xu, the Queen Mother is indeed wronged!" Princess Xu's disappearance really has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. ”
Lu Zhan didn't speak, just looked at Honggu with a cold expression.
It was the Queen Mother, who slowly stepped forward to help Honggu and said, "Get up, you have said enough for the mourning family." ”
As for believing or not believing, it's all up to Lu Zhan.
"Queen Mother." Lu Zhan said in a deep voice.
"His Royal Highness King Xu, the mourning family is here." The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhan neither humbly nor arrogantly.
In private, the Queen Mother had never called Lu Zhan like this, but now shouting like this makes Lu Zhan feel a little more different.
But thinking that Tang Ying and the young son in her womb were nowhere to be found, the slightest taste suddenly dissipated without a trace.
"Queen Mother, you don't know about this, do you have any evidence?" Lu Zhan asked.
"Not really." The Queen Mother said very simply without thinking about it.
Honggu, who was listening, and He Jun frowned one after another.
Honggu even opened her mouth to help her master round up, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, "Honggu, don't lie." That will only exacerbate the misunderstanding between the mourning family and King Xu. ”
Honggu was suddenly dumbfounded.
"The Queen Mother is really the Queen Mother, but a few words have left this king with nothing to say." Lu Zhan sneered softly.
If he stays in the past, I'm afraid he will believe her again.
Just as he once believed in the Emperor of South Vietnam.
"Sakura-chan, it's going to be fine." The Queen Mother did not defend herself, but said quietly.
A very cold smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhan's mouth, "How does the Queen Mother know?" ”
How dare you say such a thing if you are not a participant?
The Queen Mother knew Lu Zhan's thoughts, but she still didn't refute it, but said in a deep voice: "Because Sakura is the smartest woman the mourning family has ever seen, and because you are destined by heaven, no one can take it away and no one can grab it." ”
I don't know that it was this last sentence that touched Lu Zhan.
Or Lu Zhan was not as cold and ruthless as he did on his face, "Queen Mother, can I still trust you?" ”
"His Royal Highness King Xu, your hands and eyes are all over the sky. But the mournful family has never really been too old to be useful, although this position of prince is not what you think. But dare to ask Your Highness, don't you think it's too easy to get? When the words fell, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and bumped into each other.
Lu Zhan frowned and was silent.
The Queen Mother said again: "The Emperor of Nanyue's move is indeed a bastard and now it can be regarded as his due end." It's just that Ah Zhan has to say a word whether you believe it or not, and he is also bewitched. The Ten Princes are his biological sons in the end. ”
"Beitang Qing is his biological son, what about Ah Ying? Isn't that in her womb the king's son-in-law? The only thing that this king cares about and cares about has always been Ah Ying. I never wanted this throne, and I was even ready to take Ah Ying back to avoid suspicion. ”
"Even if one day, the South Vietnamese royal family really needs this king, then it is not impossible for this king to assist the new emperor. But the result? The Emperor of Nanyue, he is really good at stabbing knives! Lu Zhan cried every word, crying blood.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother let out a long sigh.
Honggu on the side was shocked and couldn't help herself. She never thought that His Royal Highness King Xu would think like this.
In that case, their emperor is really wrong.
"Ah Zhan, the big mistake has been made, what we can do is to try our best to remedy it." The Queen Mother said: "What's more, you came to the mourning family because of this matter, right?" ”
However, it has only been more than two months, and such a fatal injury can be said to be relieved by Lu Zhan.
The Queen Mother categorically won't believe it, not to mention that this is also against human nature.
"Queen Mother, do you know where the princess is hiding?" Seeing that his master didn't speak for a long time, He Jun simply said bluntly.
The Queen Mother admired He Jun's loyalty, looked at him and said, "There is no definite news about the mourning family, and the emperor has not discussed this matter with the mourning family before." But the mourning family thought that maybe the emperor didn't know where the Tibetan people were. ”
"Otherwise, the emperor will not delay in telling where he is hiding."
You can't say it until you don't know.
"That's what the emperor replied." Lu Zhan stared at the Queen Mother for a moment and said, "But this king doesn't believe it." ”
has been deceived again and again, how can Lu Zhan still believe him.
"But that may be the case." The Queen Mother did not avoid his eyes, but said firmly.
After a pause, the Queen Mother said again: "Although there are many countries, there are only a few people who come into contact with us. Nan Miao, North Miao, Qi Guo, Chen Guo, these Ah Zhan, you have checked. ”
"I have checked them one by one, and the southern and northern seedlings are even more focused on investigation, but nothing has been found." Lu Zhan said bluntly.
The Queen Mother was willing to say it, but Lu Zhan didn't hide it.
After all, finding Tang Ying is more important than anything else.
"Can Chu Fuyao's origin be found out?" The Queen Mother asked again.
Since there is no result from starting from Long Feiling, what about Chu Fuyao?
If you don't keep it, you can follow the vine.
Lu Zhan still shook his head, "Chu Fuyao's old ancestors and Xufeng have gone. But there was still nothing to gain, and she and Tianyin Pavilion hid for decades. It's not something that can be dug up overnight. ”
The two discussed it again.
Suddenly, the Queen Mother turned around and looked at the finely carved jade fence outside the window. With a gloomy expression, he said: "There is nothing abnormal in those countries, and there are no particularly outstanding people or things. Is it possible that Originally, Long Feiling existed there. ”
"What do you mean, Queen Mother?" Lu Zhan, a little seems to understand.
He seemed to understand what the other party said, but he didn't seem to understand it at all.
"What I mean is that Long Feiling may not have come from afar, but has fallen back to his roots. Back to where he was, so no matter how you investigate. There was nothing out of the ordinary, because that was who he really was. And he's always been in that capacity. The Queen Mother said word by word, and said it very clearly.
Lu Zhan's expression changed suddenly, "No, it's impossible." ”
If it's really native, it's normal for them to not find out.
But if this is the case, then what is the identity of Long Feiling or Chu Chen?
Had he been wrong in his initial guesses?
"This mourner doesn't know, but Ah Zhan often doesn't look at the surface of the truth. And there may be more than one answer. The Queen Mother, looked at him and said.
The words in front have long been familiar to Lu Zhan, but the back ......
"Please give the Queen Mother advice, what is more than one answer?" Lu Zhan asked shamelessly.
Admittedly, this time, he really had no clue.
"For example, it is true that I am the Empress Dowager of Nanyue, but I am also the only female disciple of the Seven Peerless Sect back then, and I am the eldest daughter of the Wei family." After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother herself smiled, "Ah Zhan, in fact, you don't understand such a simple truth. If you just care, it's messy. ”
Before sunset, Lu Zhan walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.
and revoked the decree of sealing the palace.
He Jun was happy to see such a result, but he also asked: "Lord Wang, what are we going to do next?" ”
The Queen Mother said a lot, but He Jun really didn't understand it at all.
Lu Zhan didn't respond to him, but just raised a smile, "I haven't celebrated since I succeeded as the crown prince. South Vietnam may not have welcomed foreign envoys for a long time, right? ”
"Yes." He Jun, there are still some monks who are confused.
The whereabouts of the princess are unknown, and the reason why Lu Zhan succeeded to the crown prince was not willing, but forced by the situation.
What is there to celebrate?
As for the envoys of other countries, they are already so bad, so they are still in the mood to pay attention to the envoys of other countries.
"From now on, the main palace will move into the East Palace, and the door of Nanyue will be opened to invite envoys from various countries to come and discuss the alliance." Lu Zhan said.
The words are very clear, but He Jun is like seeing flowers in the fog.
"Lord Wang, what are you?"
"It's time for He Jun to change his words, I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanyue Kingdom." Lu Zhan said.
He was already the future prince of South Vietnam, and he was already the crown prince. But as for the title, what Lu Zhan said before does not need to be changed. So now this is?
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, your subordinates can be prepared." He Jun surrendered his hand and took the order to retire.
……
……
Xiliang King's Tent.
A woman dressed in a luxurious costume is sitting in front of a bronze mirror and grooming. This woman's jet-black hair is bound by a cloud phoenix golden hairpin, and the jade fingers of the frost and snow are playing with makeup.
A pair of peach blossom eyes looked at it carefully, and the earrings in the coffin, "Saiya, do you say that pearls are beautiful or glasses are good?" ”
"Master, it's good to bring anything with the fragrance of the country." The servant girl next to him, Saiya, responded.
The woman said with a smile: "You girl, did you smear honey on your mouth today?" It makes me happy like that. ”
"Let's bring glass." The king's tent was opened, and a man with a long body stood tall and said, "Your clothes look better with glass today." ”
"You coax me." The woman, looking at the man in front of her, said with a seven-point smile and a three-point fake anger: "My belly is pregnant, and it doesn't look good in anything." ”
Saying that, the woman straightened her lower abdomen, saying that it was big, but it was not.
It's just a slight bulge, and it doesn't look cumbersome, but it's warm.
The man was not angry when he heard this. just took the woman into his arms very gently, "Why, in my heart, Sogeta is the best-looking." What's more, this is our eldest son, don't you like him? ”
"Of course I do." Suddenly, the woman named Sogeta reacted, "How do you know it's a son, and if it's a daughter, don't you like it?" ”
The man in front of him was silent, and the woman rushed forward directly and said, "Are you acquiescing?" Well, you are such a person. ”
"I don't ...... this kid"
Before the words were spoken, the woman who got up and wanted to leave was caught by the man.
Then the man paused word by word, as if promised: "Sogeta, you listen, as long as you give birth, I like sons and daughters." As long as you can stay with me like this forever, I won't ask for anything. ”
The woman smiled like a flower when she heard the words.
I was about to reply something, but I didn't want to hear a voice outside the king's tent, "Seventh prince, the king has something important to discuss with you." ”
