Chapter 487: The Squire Visits
No matter what the trend of the imperial court is, this has nothing to do with Shang Kelan, who is hiding in Shuzhou.
On this day, the weather was a little gloomy, and a cold wind was blowing outside, and it seemed that it was going to rain again.
When a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, a masked young man walked into the Tianxiang Building with a few servants.
Shang Kelan happened to be settling accounts at the front desk, and when she saw this, she greeted with a smile: "A few guest officers, please, our restaurant has just arrived with a batch of crabs, which are fresh, and the guest officers are in a hurry." ”
As she spoke, she walked out of the counter, but at this moment, Jin Yantang hurried back from outside, and said softly to Shang Kelan: "Miss Lan, these are my guests, and they have booked a room on the third floor. ”
The third floor is generally a place for powerful people to go, when did Jin Yantang meet these guests?
But when he saw the masked man, his eyes lit up after seeing Shang Kelan, and he seemed to be a little excited, but he quickly calmed down, and said to Shang Kelan in a hoarse voice: "Just let him entertain me." ”
The man's voice seemed to be deliberately suppressed like this, and he looked at himself as if he knew himself.
Shang Kelan was suspicious in her heart, she was already keen, and naturally discovered the strangeness of the little guys who followed the man, only to see that these little guys all looked serious and looked vigilant, as if they were guarding against someone to do something to their master.
They were obviously coming for Jin Yantang.
After coming to this conclusion, Shang Kelan didn't plan to meddle in Jin Yantang's affairs, but just nodded to Jin Yantang and returned to the counter.
Jin Yantang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and took the masked man and his little servant up to the third floor.
At this time, the third floor is a private room.
A few small servants were guarding outside the door, and in the room, as soon as Jin Yantang came to the table and sat down, the masked man saluted respectfully: "The minister sees Your Majesty, it is the minister who is not doing well, and has failed to prevent the new emperor from ascending the throne, please condemn Your Majesty!" ”
Jin Yantang frowned, helped him up and said, "Chen Shilang, how many people are there in the court?" Can you reach them? ”
Chen Shilang took off the veil on his face and sighed: "After receiving His Majesty's letter, the minister hurried over to meet His Majesty, and now the capital is almost controlled by Concubine Jia and the eldest princess, but Your Majesty can rest assured, Lord Zuo Xiang has been hiding very well so far, and has not been discovered by Concubine Jia's people." ”
"It's just that the minister has also cut off contact with Lord Zuo, and he can't find his hiding place for a while, and the minister has already ordered someone to contact Shang Gongzi and General Tie Niu in the northern Xinjiang, and they are on their way back."
Jin Yantang's eyes lit up slightly, if Shang Kelin could return to Beijing, it would be a big help for him.
It's just that soon, this joy was suppressed by him, and he saw that Jin Yantang's eyes gradually showed a gloomy color: "I have deployed a lot of troops in the capital and Shudi, and after the eldest princess came to the court, I also let many ministers return to their hometowns, it's time to contact them to fight back to the capital with me." ”
"Concubine Jia's retention has always been a scourge, and now the state of the Great Zhou Dynasty's poor reputation has begun to emerge, I am afraid that if it continues, there will be another riot in less than three years!"
Chen Shilang nodded thoughtfully, but remembering Shang Kelan who he saw downstairs just now, he couldn't help but tentatively ask Jin Yantang: "It turns out that Your Majesty has already made peace with Concubine Chen, but why is Concubine Chen so indifferent to Your Majesty?"
He could see it when he was downstairs that Concubine Chen and His Majesty didn't seem to be close to each other before.
Jin Yantang's eyes darkened, but as soon as his lips moved, he heard movement outside the door. Romance 888
"Stop! My master is talking inside, and no one can go in without his orders! ”
Outside the door, the guards disguised as small servants stopped Shang Kelan with a vigilant expression, Shang Kelan raised the fruit plate in her hand, and said with a calm smile: "A few big brothers, this is the rule of Tianxiang Building, every guest on the third floor will send a fruit plate." ”
The guard frowned and was about to drive her down, but at this moment the door was opened from the inside, Jin Yantang walked out, and glanced at the guards coldly: "Don't stop her." ”
Several guards immediately stopped talking, bowed their heads respectfully and said, "Yes!" ”
Shang Kelan was stunned for a moment, and before she came back to her senses, she felt a warmth in her hand, Jin Yantang took the fruit plate she brought, and led her into the room.
After coming back to her senses, Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, and she stood beside Jin Yantang without speaking, only raised her eyes slightly to look at the masked man who had taken off his mask, but saw that he was a little familiar.
After a while, Shang Kelan remembered that this person turned out to be Chen Shilang!
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her fingers moved slightly.
After all, Shang Kelan was also demoted to a concubine by a holy decree from Jin Yantang, Chen Shilang was not good at saluting her, so he got up and bowed to her, but for some reason, Chen Shilang always felt that he seemed a little embarrassed to stay here, so he was silent and did not speak.
After Shang Kelan came in, Jin Yantang stood beside her and looked at her slightly: "It's good to let the maid send the fruit plate, why did you send it over in person?" ”
Shang Kelan did not shy away from raising her eyes to look at him, and said with a light smile: "You really recovered your memory, but you have been hiding it from me." ”
Although she smiled, there was no trace of warmth in her smile.
Chen Shilang quietly took a few steps back, hid his face with his sleeves, and did not listen carefully to what the two were saying.
And Jin Yantang's eyes were slightly stunned: it turned out that she sent the fruit bowl up, just to test whether she had recovered her memory? In that case, she must have expected to bring her into the room.
He said to Shang Kelan a little helplessly: "Lan'er, I'm afraid that you know that I will drive me away after I recover my memory, and I really like our children. ”
Child? Your Majesty has only been missing for a year, and Concubine Chen gave birth to Your Majesty's child? Why didn't he see it?
Chen Shilang and Zheng Hong thought about it, and a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Shang Kelan took a deep breath, took two steps back and pointed to the gate: "Please leave here, don't bring those who are chasing you to Tianxiang Tower, have you forgotten who Ling'er died for?" ”
"Lan'er, there is some misunderstanding between us, I want to ask you to calm down and listen to my explanation first, okay?"
Jin Yantang patiently said to Shang Kelan, he knew that Shang Kelan's heart may not be as calm as it seems on the surface, after all, in her opinion, it was he who doted on Concubine Jia and destroyed the Zuo Xiangfu, it was he who used Shang Kelan to control the Zuo Xiangfu, and it was also he who betrayed the promise and the child between the two.
He has always been quiet, majestic and indifferent, few people see him so patient for a woman, Chen Shilang, who was watching the two of them, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
With a slight pain in her heart, Shang Kelan looked away to avoid looking at him, and said in a stiff and stubborn tone: "I heard everything you said to Zhao Kehan in Ximeng Palace, you just used me to deal with Zuo Xiangfu, and you still believe that I killed Zhao Kexi, I can hear it clearly...... "I can hear it clearly."
But before she finished speaking, Jin Yantang bullied her and pressed her whole person against the wall, only to see him looking down at her, and said seriously and firmly: "I believe that Zhao Kexi was not killed by you, I have never betrayed our feelings, and Zhao Kehan's child is not mine, you listen to my explanation, okay?" ”
