Chapter 267: Late Night Conversation
Nalan Ming's hoarse voice was deliberately lowered, there was an indescribable gloom, after hearing Nalan Lan'er say this, he didn't want Nalan Lan'er to worry and said: "For the brotherhood, since the appearance has changed, there has been no chasing soldier to come to the door, but you must be careful in the palace, and you must not be reckless!" ”
Nalan Lan'er was relieved when she heard this, how did she know that because of her identity, the Queen Mother began to send people to search for Nalan Ming's traces again.
Nalan Ming thought for a while and said: "Brother Wei has no intention of rebelling, I recently received news that although everyone was killed about the cause of the death of the former emperor, I heard that there is another person in the know who escaped and is still alive." ”
Nalan Lan'er was overjoyed, once there were witnesses, it would be time to see how the Queen Mother would get rid of her, "Brother, it was really the Queen Mother who personally ordered the killing of ......"
Nalan Ming nodded deeply and got an affirmative answer, Nalan Lan'er's heart was cold again, a person who even dared to kill his own son was indeed really ruthless.
But this is the kind of person, they Nalan Mansion didn't do anything wrong, why did they become the scapegoat of this conspiracy, to be precise, Nalan Lan'er became the scapegoat, and the entire family was killed.
Thinking about Nalan Lan'er, she felt uncomfortable, she let go and grabbed Nalan Ming's sleeve, and couldn't help crying, "Brother, if Lan'er hadn't watched the emperor die in front of her in the palace, she wouldn't have affected her father and mother. If my sister had died with the emperor at that time, the queen mother would have no excuse to behead our family. ”
Nalan Ming stepped forward and pressed his hands on Nalan Lan'er's shoulders, "No, Yanran, you have to believe that you are just a victim of that conspiracy, in other words, if you and the former emperor die together that day, the queen mother will still behead us." ”
"Why is that?" Nalan Lan'er said with tears still on her face.
Nalan Ming pursed his lips, but Nalan Lan'er couldn't see all these expressions, and only heard Nalan Ming say coldly: "This question has to be asked to that vicious old witch." ”
Nalan Lan'er has a plan in her heart, the mystery in front of her is getting bigger and bigger, she must solve it, and give justice to dozens of people in Nalan Mansion!
The night was already late in the middle of the night, this was the best time to leave, with Nalan Ming's face, there was nowhere to escape in this palace, and pretending that the eunuch couldn't do it.
"So, Lan'er! You don't have to think too much, my brother has been looking for the person who escaped from his life, as little as a few months or more than a year and a half, and again, you must be careful, this matter has nothing to do with the Dog Emperor, and my brother will not be angry with him, but the Queen Mother, must die! ”
When Nalan Ming said the last sentence, he was particularly ruthless.
Nalan Lan'er agrees very much, there is a debtor and a master, and it is too cheap for so many people in the family to repay with her own life!
Seeing that the hour was almost the same, Nalan Ming finally touched Nalan Lan'er's head and explained: "The two maids outside have been ordered to sleep for their brother, so there is no need to panic, they will wake up after an hour, and your brother is gone, you have to rest early for your body." ”
Nalan Lan'er watched him open the window, nodded reluctantly, and watched Nalan Ming fly away into the night without alarming anyone. It was the first time she knew that her brother's martial arts were so strong.
"Brother, be careful." Looking at the endless night, Nalan Lan'er muttered.
After blowing the wind for a while, the wind dried the tears on his face, closed the window again, returned to the desk, and put away the danqing he had seen one by one, and the rice paper pressed under the inkstone obviously had several names written on it.
After putting away the things she had seen, she inadvertently scattered the works stacked together, Nalan Lan'er squatted down and picked them up one by one with a headache, by mistake, there was a special work in front of her, even the dim candlelight could not resist the snowflakes that were about to come out.
Simple ink painting, she has never seen such a realistic Danqing, put the painting in her hand back to the bottom, picked up the pair and came to the candlelight to check carefully, it is really a good snow Rui harvest year, look down, the signature turned out to be Yanzi?
On the back of the portrait is written Hiko's message, the daughter of Taifu!
Nalan Lan'er frowned from surprise, and then indifferently put away the portrait. Pick up a brush and write Yanzi on rice paper.
I didn't expect that Danqing, the daughter of Taifu, had reached this point, and compared to it, she couldn't take it out.
I just don't know how charming this person looks? After all, the calligraphy and paintings are too beautiful to be true.
After finishing writing, looking at the mess on the table, Nalan Lan'er was a little tired after seeing her brother, and it should be the time of the second watch.
He walked out of the room and looked at the two maids who were still sleeping, calmed down, took off his coat and headdress, and rested after putting down the bed curtains.
This sleep felt like it was dawn as soon as I closed my eyes, and when I woke up, Cai Lian and Wan'er were not abnormal, but they seemed to be sleeping too heavily and their bodies were a little stiff.
After hearing the movement, Nalan Lan'er still lifted the curtains by herself, and Wan'er and Cailian hurriedly stepped forward to wait, "Niangniang, Wan'er doesn't sleep so hard on weekdays, but I didn't know that I slept until dawn last night, so I remembered that Niangniang's homework hadn't gone to bed yet." ”
Cailian also admitted her mistake when she heard it, and the master slept before he slept on his own, how can this be done.
Nalan Lan'er seemed to be in a good mood, and under Wan'er's waiting, she said while dressing: "It's okay, it was the palace that asked you to sleep, and after you slept for a short time, the palace also came up to rest." ”
Dressed, washed, dressed up, and after a quarter of an hour, Nalan Lan'er sat at the table drinking warm water, after the eldest prince stayed here, she didn't seem to have called him to get up, and she didn't know if she would wait for the new palace maids.
After taking a sip of tea, he asked Cailian to take her to the big prince's bedroom across a side hall.
I got up early today and just went out to feel my hands and feet frozen stiff, and after walking quickly to the palace of the eldest prince, I heard some talking movements inside, and the palace maid at the door wanted to salute when she saw Nalan Lan'er, but she stopped her before she could make a sound.
Quietly pushed the door in, and after strolling in, he saw that the eyes of the eldest prince had not been fully opened, and he was at the mercy of those palace maids, dressing, washing, and tidying up.
Nalan Lan'er asked the waiting palace maids not to salute, she sat on the chair, and immediately a palace maid came over with a cup of hot tea.
Nalan Lan'er drank tea like this, watched the three palace maids dress up for the eldest prince with interest, and finally helped him to sit on a chair and brought him a cup of warm water to drink.
After a sip or two, the eldest prince seemed to start rubbing his eyes, looking like he had just woken up, but there was a very familiar person in front of him.
"Well, this prince seems to have seen his mother, this must be a dream." The words muttered by the eldest prince gave Nalan Lan'er a full listen.
Following his words, he said, "Tell the concubine, what did you do when you dreamed of the concubine?" ”
The eldest prince's eyelids, which had just drooped down, were propped up again, and he looked towards the voice that spoke, and a familiar forehead outline gradually became clear from near to far.
He blinked his eyes twice, and finally looked around and then looked at the palace maid beside Nalan Lan'er, and finally got down from the chair in surprise, threw himself into Nalan Lan'er's arms and said, "Mother! ”
Nalan Lan'er laughed in a low voice: "Good morning, the eldest prince of the mother concubine. ”
"Good morning, mother, why are you in the son's dormitory?" The eldest prince still held her and didn't let go, and seemed to be a little coquettish.
Nalan Lan'er took advantage of the situation and hugged him on her knee with some difficulty and said, "Lin'er, is this awake?" Are you really awake? ”
The eldest prince pouted and raised his head and said, "Wake up, Erchen is awake!" ”
As he spoke, he jumped down Nalan Lan'er's knees, ran to the table and knelt on the chair to increase the height, and reached out to get the teapot, but fortunately, the palace maid waiting at the table took the teapot smartly and carefully poured water into the teacup taken out by the eldest prince.
After pouring, the eldest prince got off the chair first and then picked up the teacup on the table, walked not so fast, held his hands, walked towards Nalan Lan'er with a smile and said, "Mother concubine drink tea." ”
This well-behaved strength didn't soften Nalan Lan'er's heart, she suddenly remembered the queen, if the queen was still raising such a well-behaved prince, would this temperament change?
Taking away the biological mother of the eldest prince, Nalan Lan'er still felt a little guilty in her heart, but the matter has reached this point and can no longer be undone, taking this incident as if nothing had happened, she will naturally do her best to the eldest prince.
After all, it was the queen who tried everything possible to put her to death, how could she be where she is now if she didn't fight back?
"Mother? Mother? Isn't the tea poured by Erchen bad? The eldest prince went from happy to worried, and the mother only watched the tea in his hand but didn't take it, didn't he make the mother angry?
Nalan Lan'er came back to her senses instantly, looking at the expression of the eldest prince, surprised that she might have snubbed him, and hurriedly took the teacup and drank it in several sips: "The mother concubine is thinking about something, the tea that my emperor personally serves is so delicious, how can you not want it?" ”
The eldest prince was happy at this time, both of them got up early, and Nalan Lan'er got up and asked the palace maid to bring a thicker and wider jacket.
He bowed his head and said to the eldest prince: "This morning, Lin'er went out to the yard with her mother to blow the wind and freeze?" ”
The eldest prince was not so afraid of the cold when he was young, and after Nalan Lan'er personally put on his jacket, he became the most excited, and pulled Nalan Karaan'er to run straight out of the hall.
The morning is clearer than at noon or in the afternoon, and the wind is lighter, not much, but it may be damp and biting, and it is warmer to walk around than to sit in the temple.
The eldest prince pulled Nalan Lan'er to the stone table under her favorite tree, and the big tree not far away had been wrapped by Wan'er before, and now only the branches were bare and spread around. Never see the summer lushness again.
Raising his head to look at the sky through the branches, the eldest prince suddenly said to Nalan Lan'er: "Mother, will we use it here for breakfast today?" ”
