Chapter 178
"Liang Lone? Didn't he enter the palace? How can you enter the palace now? Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan, who had asked Xu Lan to inquire about some news before, and was afraid that Liang Liang would also enter the hunting ground with him.
If this is the case, you have to find a way to lure Liang Lin away, who knows that Liang Lin didn't come at all, and was replaced by the little general Wei Shen, so Lu Huiling was relieved.
I heard early that the Imperial Forest Army had blockaded the entire imperial city, just to find out the so-called assassin, how could Liang Lin still enter the palace now?
Xu Lan looked panicked, and she shook her head: "At that time, I did see General Wei Shen enter the palace, and I heard that General Liang Xiao went to the state capital to inspect something. I don't know why... How did you enter the palace now, Wen Sheng, you shouldn't be mistaken. ”
Wen Sheng raised his head and looked at Xu Lan, then turned to look at Concubine Ming, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't dare, the slave has a good memory since he was a child, and those who have seen it once can't forget it, and General Liang Lian's slave has seen it three times, and he will never make a mistake." ”
Lu Huiling frowned, she didn't believe that Wen Sheng was wrong: "Then what does it mean for Liang Lin to enter the palace?" ”
Wen Sheng shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, I only know that General Liang Liang was followed by a person who looked like an adjutant, and rushed to the Yichun Palace, wearing armor and a cloak on his body, as if he was on some task." ”
As he spoke, Wen Sheng lowered his head and pondered for a while: "Ah! Niangniang, when the slave came back, I also saw soldiers dressed differently from the Royal Forest Army, as if the barracks had just been transferred. ”
After hearing this, Lu Huiling thought about it carefully, probably because the emperor felt that this matter was important and there were many designers, so he asked the army stationed in the city to also enter the palace to support.
Thinking so, Lu Huiling nodded and said clearly: "Since this is the case, then don't worry about it." You don't have to go out to find out the news all the time, lest some people see it and think that this palace is going to do something. ”
The best way now is to ignore everything, just keep yourself completely out of the matter, if you go to investigate more, there will be some traces, at this time you want to pour dirty water on Mei Guifei's body, or you can't expose yourself too much, lest Mei Guifei bite people in a hurry, and she has to pull her into the water.
Wen Sheng nodded: "Yes, the slave has retired." ”
"Let's go down." Lu Huiling waved his hand, then supported his head, and said to Xu Lan behind him: "I got up early today, and now I am tired, and I don't know when Xia Rongxin will wake up, but it doesn't matter." Let's rest in Fuhongu. ”
Lu Huiling got up early in the morning to dress up, just to watch today's good show, I thought I would be able to interrogate immediately, who knew that Xia Rongxin would faint, she was really old and couldn't stand the blow, so Lu Huiling waited for a long time with a luxurious headdress.
Xu Lan nodded, and after answering, she helped Lu Huiling to get up and walk towards the warm pavilion.
On the way, Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan's low-eyebrow and pleasing expression, and knew that she had compassion for the nobles, so she said inadvertently: "This palace is not to let the nobles have to die, she will not die, what is the fate of her whole family, now it is in the hands of Concubine Mei." As long as Concubine Mei doesn't say that she is a nobleman, and the duke selflessly takes the whole thing on herself, the nobleman is relaxed, and the palace is also satisfied. ”
Xu Lan listened sullenly, not daring to raise her head to speak.
Lu Huiling stopped, looked at Xu Lan, and said slowly: "You can't bear to hurt people, how can this palace want the noble person to die." It's just that Xia Rongxin can't take dirty water from herself, in fact, as long as in the end, if the nobles are willing to push a little more responsibility on Xia Rongxin, so that the emperor can take back Xia Rongxin's silver seal, the palace will still promise her to protect her family. Do you understand? ”
Xu Lan raised her head and hurriedly glanced at Concubine Ming, and hurriedly lowered her head: "Yes, the slave understands." ”
"If you get it, you can do it. Remember to change your clothes, there are more patrol guards in the palace, don't let people see it. Lu Huiling smiled with satisfaction and said indifferently.
"Yes." Xu Lan blessed her body, and after curtsiding to Concubine Ming, she hurriedly went down to change her clothes.
Lu Huiling looked at Xu Lan's distant back, and sighed secretly in her heart, she was really not a person who grew up with her, and she couldn't pay attention to her mind after all, Xu Lan would one day spoil her business, and she had to find a chance to get rid of Xu Lan.
Xu Lan didn't know that Concubine Ming had such thoughts, so she hurriedly changed into an ordinary palace maid and rushed to Lanyuan Pavilion.
For some reason, Xu Lan was always very worried about Xue Guiren, I don't know if she was worried that she would betray Concubine Ming, or if she felt sorry for her to lose her life for this matter.
In the Lanyuan Pavilion, the nobles were lying on the bed tossing and turning, always feeling that the next second the Imperial Forest Army was about to break into the Lanyuan Pavilion, which no one cared about on weekdays, and brought herself to the emperor.
This kind of scene has been thought about countless times, and it has been rehearsed countless times in his mind.
She thought that Mei Guifei would definitely say that she interfered with the Chinese New Year's Eve feast, guide Mei Guifei to change the game system she was involved in, and the emperor would definitely call herself to the front of the royal car, put the harem three thousand, and interrogate her in front of hundreds of civil and military officials why she did this.
Xue Guiren promised Concubine Ming that if she wanted to do her best to make Mei Guifei lose the silver seal of being in charge of the harem, she just had to show her innocence and let everyone think that all this was what Mei Guifei meant, and she just had an idea.
Despite this, the nobleman still could not escape death, but at least he saved the lives of his family.
In the splendid and solemn palace of diligence, there must be a pair of eyes on the emperor's side staring at her closely, and there will be a mouth that looks very similar to her under those eyes, telling her to be cautious in her words and deeds, otherwise her family's life will not be guaranteed.
The nobleman was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, waiting for death, waiting for the verdict, this was too uncomfortable, she heard a footstep at this time is the grass and trees are all soldiers, and she feels that the Royal Forest Army is almost there, and she is only in her twenties, and she has never seen the mountains and rivers, so she has been barren in this deep palace for most of her life.
Thinking like this, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.
Ah Xun looked at the noble man frowning and shedding tears, and she couldn't help crying, and the tears also fell down, but she bit her lip tightly, wanting her master to rest for a while.
After Xu Lan arrived at the Orchid Pavilion, she looked left and right and found that no one noticed her, so she turned sideways and entered the inner courtyard of the Orchid Pavilion.
A large number of people and horses of the Imperial Forest Army all gathered in the Middle Palace, protecting the emperor and the concubines, and the Lanyuan Pavilion was far away from the Middle Palace, so naturally only sent people and horses to patrol, and there was no special person to wait, so Xu Lan could also sneak in with ease.
There was no one in the courtyard on the left and right, so Xu Lan went directly to the dormitory and knocked on the door.
As soon as Xu Lan knocked on the door, the nobleman sat up suddenly on the bed, opened her eyes and looked at the door, with a stunned look, Ah Xun also quickly stood up, listening to the knock on the door one after another, she turned her head and looked at the nobleman, and then looked outside the door, not knowing whether to go over or not.
The palms of the noble people began to sweat, she clutched the quilt tightly, and looked at the door in dismay, for fear that it was the person who came to take her away, and the person was about to die, so she became greedy, she regretted doing these things, but her parents and brothers were still the fetters she couldn't let go.
"Nobleman..."The knock on the door kept ringing, and Ah Xun turned his head to look at the nobleman, not knowing what to do.
The nobleman gritted his teeth in his heart, and said to Ah Xun: "Go and open the door." ”
As he spoke, the nobleman sat up, put on his shoes, and cut his hair in front of the mirror, even if he was going to die, he would die decently, and he would not lose the demeanor of a literati.
Ah Xun walked over slowly and slowly opened the door, she thought she would see a solemn team of royal forest soldiers, but as soon as she opened the door, Aunt Xu Lan was standing at the door.
Ah Xun suddenly felt weak and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Lan looked at Ah Xun and complained: "What's the matter, why did it take so long to open the door." ”
If you stay longer, I'm afraid that those patrolling Imperial Forest Army will come over, even if Xu Lan looks like an ordinary palace maid from a distance, but up close, you can still recognize her as Xu Lan, the palace maid of Minghua Hall.
Ah Xun didn't speak, turned sideways and let Xu Lan walk in.
Seeing that it was Xu Lan, the nervous heart was relieved for a moment, her tears were about to fall again, her life was bright and fair, she had never done anything bad, but she never thought that there would be such a day.
When Xu Lan saw the appearance of the nobleman, she couldn't bear it, and she didn't know what to say.
After the nobleman calmed down, he looked at Xu Lan and asked weakly, "Does Concubine Ming have any other orders?" Shouldn't we be more suspicious at times like these? Why, less than an hour later, I came again. ”
Xu Lan took a step forward and said to Guiren Xue: "Niangniang said that you want to put all the blame on Concubine Mei, so that you and your family will have more hope of survival." ”
When the nobles heard this, they were very dissatisfied, Lu Huiling is now getting more and more excessive, and has threatened himself with his family several times.
"Okay, I know all this better than you, and I also ask you to go back and tell Concubine Ming that what I promised Yin Zhi will do what I say, and I hope that Niangniang will do the same." The nobleman raised his head and looked at Xu Lan, his eyes were full of indifference.
Xue Guiren is now indifferent to her own life, but she still hopes that Lu Huiling can save the lives of her family, so that her hard work will not be in vain.
When Xu Lan saw the nobleman answer like this, she forgot the meaning of her trip, and stood speechless.
Xu Lan remembered that when Concubine Ming talked about the great crime committed by the nobles of the Nine Clans, her eyes were full of laughter and indifference, but she really failed to live up to the nobles' trust in Concubine Ming.
