The fire in Qinglian Palace burned all night, and outsiders didn't know what was going on there, and there were only a few pieces of news that could be learned-

First, many of the powerful ministers and nobles who congratulated King Dingyuan on his birthday did not return alive, and the cause of death is unknown, but it was by no means as simple as dying in the fire.

Second, in the early morning of the next day, someone saw many people from the rivers and lakes with elite eyes and blood-stained clothes walking down from Qinglian Mountain, whose identities were unknown.

Third, the second prince Wen Mo was in a hurry, vomiting blood and fainting outside the Qinglian Palace, for unknown reasons.

The birthday banquet of King Dingyuan was set up in a hurry, strangely done, and ended in a hurry, and the process turned out to be like a mystery being buried in the Qinglian Palace that collapsed in the middle of the fire, and many people speculated that it was the masterpiece of the new emperor Wen Jingyuan to eradicate dissidents, but no one dared to discuss it publicly, and the only people who whispered on the streets and alleys were those three "unknown".

From the imperial court to the people of the city, the sudden disappearance of several important ministers of the court and the imperial family from the chaotic political situation has become a mystery that people talk about since that day.

"None of the people the emperor wants to kill have escaped the net, but there are a few quite innocent guys who have been affected by bad luck, plus the seven people who took the initiative to resign because of this matter, and now there are really not many ministers available in the previous dynasty." Lian Song, who had just come back from the imperial study, sighed slightly, with a little expectation in his eyes, "Things are much more interesting than I expected, whether it is the Ranxue Pavilion, or the wastes who jumped over the wall in a hurry, this scene is really exciting, it is in vain that I specially ventured to Qinglian Palace." ”

A pinch of powder is poured into the incense burner, and it immediately overflows with a soft and elegant taste. Lan Zhirong pinched a bronze incense spoon the size of her fingernail and stirred it in the incense burner, and only when she saw that the powder was evenly mixed with the incense powder did she smile with satisfaction: "Originally, I was very sorry that I couldn't give Yan Liwu a gift, who knew that those dog officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death rarely did a good thing, and they actually fulfilled their wish for me, I really want to see Yan Liwu's expression now, is it distressed, or is it scared to death?" ”

"The second prince seems to be very ill, and he was personally escorted back to the palace by King Dingyuan on the same day, and it is said that he still can't get out of bed, which shows that he is really affectionate to that woman." Lian Song glanced at Lan Zhirong meaningfully, and the corners of her lips were slightly curled against the almost silver-white hair, making her look even more cold and cold.

Lan Zhirong didn't need to look up to know that he was looking at her, and continued to mix incense powder quietly, her charming eyes slanted and provoked: "I don't care about the second prince, I'm very curious, how can you be sure that Yan is not dead?" There's still no news from there. ”

"With the protection of the prince of Dingyuan, she is not so easy to die." After casually making an assertion, Lian Song showed a touch of surprise and admiration, and turned his fingers between his fingers with interest, "It seems that many people can see that the prince of Dingyuan Wang intends to talk about his worries, but he doesn't know about it, and I heard that he also had a quarrel with the same door in Junzilou because of this." With his intentions and martial arts strategy, what is a fire and a few incompetent killers? I am looking forward to his entanglement with Yan Liwu, so that it will be difficult to determine who may snatch the throne in the end, after all, compared to the Junzi Mansion where the power penetrates all over Zhongzhou, Wen Moshu and Chu Ci are not worth mentioning at all. ”

Hearing Lian Song's yearning tone, Lan Zhirong frowned at her carefully groomed slender brows, and couldn't help but sink her face: "It's just a disgusting woman who is pampered and likes to behave in a coquettish manner, but the men are all revolving around her, and sure enough, it is good to have a god-given skin, and you can exchange your body for the results that others have worked so hard to get." ”

"Do you think the difference between yourself and your words is just your appearance? I can't bear to remind you what you are, so you might as well look in the mirror for yourself. Lian Song sneered at Lan Zhirong's jealous expression, disgust and contempt without concealing it.

A few light coughs outside the house interrupted Lan Zhirong's annoyance, and after a little calm, Lan Zhirong got up and tidied up her dress, and walked to the door with her arrogant head up. The small pavilion waiting outside saw her come out and immediately turned around and closed the door, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the white-haired man who was leisurely and lazy on the couch, and then retreated behind Lan Zhirong with his head buried deeply.

"Grandpa Sun has worked hard, this is a little heart." Without looking at the half box of curiosities sent by Wen Jingyuan, Lan Zhirong stuffed a golden leaf into the eunuch who passed the message, and said after a pause, "Why don't you see Gonggong Zhao?" Are you still accompanying the emperor in the imperial study? ”

When Gonggong Sun got the benefit, he immediately smiled, and his waist was bent to the ground: "Back to Niangniang's words, Zhao Gonggong went to Tianque Hall to send some supplements to the second prince at the emperor's orders, and then went to Pan Guifei to walk - today is Pan Guifei's birthday, and the emperor said that he would celebrate Pan Guifei's birthday in the evening, and when he heard that Niangniang was unwell, he changed his mind, and planned to come directly to Niangniang's side after dealing with the state, so he didn't go to celebrate Pan Guifei's birthday." ”

The emperor's whereabouts are very important, and he is usually not allowed to tell outsiders, and Grandpa Sun deliberately provoked her to make her happy in order to please Lan Zhirong, how could Lan Zhirong not understand his thoughts? With a faint look, the smart and clever little pavilion hurriedly stepped forward, picked out the more valuable one from the box of treasures and stuffed it into Grandpa Sun's hand, and sent Grandpa Sun away in a gentle voice.

"The emperor hasn't seen you for a day, and at this time, the monkey must be anxious to come to Wen Cun, so I won't delay your time - use that incense with caution, don't be a fool to be a royal doctor." Lian Song, who appeared beside him at some point, waved his hand, and the excessively white figure froze the courtyard that had just had some spring again, and quietly left from the back door of Fenghuan Palace with an incomprehensible atmosphere.

Lan Zhirong disagreed, and secretly clenched the iron locket that Lian Song had just sent today.

What if Wen Jingyuan's body is not as good as day by day? All she wants is a puppet emperor who obeys her and Lian Songyan, a person who can fulfill her wishes and torture her with the most vicious means.

The previous dynasty was turbulent, the harem was full of intrigues, and the Yuan Kingdom, which had begun to show chaos soon after entering a stable situation, finally sent away the cold winter and ushered in the first spring rain that was warm and silent, which was on the third day of the fire in Qinglian Palace; And the next day, I didn't know how long I spent in my sleep, and finally woke up under the care of Bi Xiao and Yin Junbai.

It is a blessing to be able to open her eyes to see the world again, the feeling of escaping death is indescribable, but she immediately thought of another question, and her hoarse and dry throat struggled to roll out the first sentence after waking up: "What about Wen Moqing......"

Bi Xiao wiped the reddish circles under her eyes, and her smile was a little stiff: "Senior brother's bee venom is not exhausted, and he is still asleep, but there is no danger to his life." ”

"That's good......" Yan Li smiled lightly, his chapped lips were torn out of small openings, and a trace of red oozed faintly.

"Lord Wang, drink some water first."

The white porcelain teacup is brought to the lips, and the rim of the cup is warm and warm. Yan Liwu sat on the bed with Bi Xiao's support, looked at the haggard Yin Junbai, and nodded gratefully.

Most of her memories in the dungeon stopped at talking to Wen Moqing without a word, but she still vaguely remembered that after that, she vaguely heard the sound of the iron fence being shaken by force, and Yin Junbai's hoarse call, so she guessed in a daze that someone was probably coming to save them.

Drinking warm water and moistening his throat, he let out a long sigh of worry, and looked at Yin Junbai's eyes with reproach: "You haven't rested in the past few days, have you?" Now that I'm awake, it's time for you to go to sleep, and your face is so bad. ”

Yin Junbai was flattered, hurriedly waved his hand and bowed his head shyly, and his cheeks, which had lost a lot of weight, were slightly red: "Junbai is not tired, not tired at all, Junbai just wants to see the prince ...... safely"

"Go and rest for a while, these days you have either taken care of Liwu or taken care of your senior brother, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, and if you continue like this, you will fall ill when they get better." Bi Xiao helped persuade her, and secretly stabbed Yin Junbai hard, Yin Junbai understood, nodded with some disappointment, and reluctantly left the room.

His eyes kept staring at Yin Junbai leaving, and Bi Xiao sighed softly: "Since I found you in the underground palace that day, Junbai has never rested, no matter whether others are awake or asleep, he insists on staying by your side, every time you move or make a little sound, he will be excited, and then he will be very disappointed." ”

"He is like a child, innocent and very stubborn, and his love for King Qinglian has reached the point where he can even live without his life." "Sometimes I really don't know how to respond to his enthusiasm, and anyway, I'm not the person he expects me to be." ”

"Isn't it okay, it's not a bad thing to have such a loyal squire by your side. By the way, when I forced Junbai to rest yesterday, he didn't go back to his room to sleep but ran to the town, you see, those on the table were all bought by him, and he said that they were all things you like to eat. ”

Looking in the direction of Bi Xiao's finger, a table of snacks and pastries was piled up like a hill, and it was sad for a moment to see that the words were sad and inexplicable.

Yin Junbai's loyalty and thoughtfulness will always move her, but she knows very well that that heart is not for her, whether it is love or care, Yin Junbai lives for the Qinglian King, not for her. If one day Yin Junbai picks up those discarded memories and wants to understand that the master he served and admired is no longer there, how can this young man who has never lived for himself continue to live?

She didn't want to tear apart Yin Junbai's painful secret, and she didn't want to bear the identity of the Qinglian King like this, and the dilemma made her have no choice.

"Don't worry, you and your senior brother ...... when they are in the dungeon" Bi Xiao, who has always been straightforward, seemed to hesitate a little, and said cautiously for a long time, "Jun Bai took us to look for a long time in the dungeon, and also saw the corpse of Yongdao and the poisonous mushrooms in the secret room, but what surprised us the most was not these, but the ...... you and senior brother"

Yan was inexplicably worried, and his face was at a loss: "What's wrong with me and him?" ”

Bi Xiao blushed and shook his head, and covered his mouth with a chuckle: "You two, you quarrel and attack each other at every turn on weekdays, but when it comes to life and death, you hold each other tighter than anyone else, and it took a lot of effort to separate the hands of the two of you." At that time, you were asleep and didn't know what to do, otherwise I really wanted to pinch your face and ask-dead girl, what a big ambition, do you want to take advantage of the second prince and senior brother? ”

Yan Li's scalp was numb, and he finally understood what Bi Xiao meant, and his face with a weak face was full of crying and laughing.

Although it is a little wronged, the scandal between her and Wen Moqing's "conclusive evidence" may have spread among the group of weirdos who are not afraid of big things in Junzilou, right? However, she and Wen Moqing are still alive, and there is nothing more important than this.
