Chapter 297: A New Beginning
Xiling Lan was really tired for a day and two nights, and after a word with Emperor Chu, he didn't have a good impression of Xiling Yingjie at all, and he was already enduring his temperament to come, but Xiling Heng was still young, and he didn't know how to read people's faces, so he chattered endlessly, at the extreme of Xiling Lan's patience, when he was about to break out, Xiling Yingjie's personal servant rescued her, saying that Xiling Yingjie was already waiting.
Only then did he hurriedly say goodbye to Xiling Xing and Xiling Heng, and entered Xiling Yingjie's outer study.
Xiling Yingjie was lying on the soft collapse, in good spirits, seeing Xiling Blue, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but show a little joy, and his heart was also soft, it seems that Xiling Lan is still thinking about his grandfather, isn't this to visit himself.
Before the look of joy could be on his face, he was poured down with a scoop of cold water by Xiling Lan's words: "The emperor asked me to see how your injuries are." ”
Xiling Yingjie sighed secretly, and thanked him honestly: "Thank you Emperor for your grace, the old minister's injury is not a big deal." ”
Xiling Lan didn't say much, seeing that Xiling Yingjie had a good complexion, since he promised Emperor Chu to come and see, he should leave after seeing it, and immediately said goodbye: "Then Hou Ye can rest at ease, Hou Ye has made great contributions, and the emperor will have a heavy reward in the future, I will not delay Hou Ye to rest, farewell!" ”
Even if Xiling Yingjie heard the good news that the emperor wanted to reward him, he couldn't offset his gloomy and depressed mood at this time: "Blue girl, are you so ruthless?" ”
Xiling Lan sneered: "Master Hou said that it was funny, we are each other!" Open the skylight and say something bright, for the sake of wealth and conformity to the emperor's wishes, the Hou Ye can coldly watch his granddaughter being tortured to death in the backyard, why pretend to be licking the calf at this time? ”
Xiling Yingjie was struck by lightning, and he couldn't say anything at once, so he could only watch Xiling Lan throw his hand at him, the etiquette was not bad at all, but his eyes walked out without any warmth.
There is only one feeling in my heart, from now on, Xiling Lan and Xiling Mansion, I am afraid that there is really no trace of affection!
Looking at Xiling Lan's back, Xiling Yingjie closed his eyes, and an old tear fell on his hands that were full of thick calluses and stained with the blood of countless people.
Ignoring Xiling Xing and Xiling Heng who were waiting outside, Xiling Lan hurriedly left the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, she knew that unless necessary, she would never set foot here again in her life, in addition to a trace of melancholy in her heart, it was more relief! She finally got rid of the last trace of the shackles of Xilinglan's predecessor, and she was a new life from then on!
Never before has Xiling Lan missed Chu Tianmu and their home so much like this moment! Hurry up and gallop all the way, she wants to return to their home as soon as possible, which is the new starting point of her life!
Back to Mucangzhai, the guards who stayed in the palace immediately rushed to report, the palace change the night before, because the main force went to besiege the Taihe Hall and the imperial city, some of the remaining stragglers and some of the rest of the chaos and robbed the rich You Yong, where is the opponent of the guards of the Four Princes' Mansion, as soon as they approached the gate, they were killed cleanly. Later, when he saw the dead bodies and blood at the entrance of the Four Princes' Mansion, he was already frightened and fled.
However, I got the news this morning that the Second Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion, because they only brought the princess to the banquet, and the rest of the family members stayed in the mansion, resulting in heavy casualties.
In a nearby street, the disturbance and plundering was the least due to the deterrence of the Four Princes' Palace, and although the city defense army patrolled and a curfew was imposed soon the next day, there were still many places in Kyoto that suffered heavy losses. Especially those powerful families, there are also several families who died overnight.
