Chapter 189: The Prime Minister is released from prison
Xue Yi bent down to pick up the music on the ground, Emperor Cheng pulled her up, pressed her on the chair and sat down, and sighed: "Xue'er, sometimes I really want to put these troubles aside, leave the palace with you, and be an ordinary couple." ”
Internal and external troubles, in the face of the general national letter of Lanling Kingdom, Emperor Cheng was helpless, and suddenly felt exhausted, he suddenly retreated, took off the dragon robe on his body, and returned to Beiling with Xue Yi to be an ordinary couple, this thought flashed in his mind, and he was shocked by himself.
Xue Yi suddenly spilled the tea on the table on the ground and asked Emperor Cheng: "Is it possible for the emperor to take back this water without leaking?" ”
Emperor Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's hard to recover the water, and I can't recover the water on this ground." ”
"The emperor can't take off this dragon robe! Although the treasury of the Yueyue Kingdom is empty and natural and man-made disasters are continuous, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the concubines believe that as long as they unite as one, it will not be difficult to defeat the Lanling Kingdom! Xue Yi came to the dragon book case, put down the rolled up map, stared at the territory of Lanling Kingdom on the map, and tried her best to awaken Emperor Cheng's fighting spirit.
Emperor Cheng followed Xue Yi's gaze and stared at the Lanling Kingdom on the map, and said slowly: "The current Lanling Kingdom still has concerns, they don't know the true situation of the Invite Yue Kingdom, so the first Yiguo Shu tested me, but seeing that tomorrow is the deadline for me to bet with the envoy of the Lanling Kingdom to win or lose, I still can't find someone who can recognize this letter of state." ”
Xue Yi didn't know about the national book of Lanling, so she looked back at Emperor Cheng and asked, "The national book of Lanling?" And what is it? ”
Emperor Cheng told Xue Yi how the envoy of Lanling State despised the imperial court and how to present the letter of state on the Golden Palace two days ago, and Xue Yi thought for a moment and said: "The concubine once saw the text of the Lanling Kingdom when she was young, but I don't know if you can still remember it now, can you let the concubine see it?" ”
Emperor Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately handed the national letter to Xue Yi: "Oh, this is their national letter, I posted the emperor's list for two days, and no one in the country of Invite Yue knew the content of this national letter, I don't want Xue'er to know this book." ”
Xue Yi saw that the emperor was full of joy, worried that she would show her timidity, and hurriedly said: "Don't be happy with the emperor first, the concubines may not know each other, just try it." ”
Xue Yi opened the letter of state, and after reading it for a while, her long eyebrows wrinkled slightly, then she stretched and smiled on her knees: "Your Majesty, although the concubine does not know the content of the letter of state, she can guarantee one person, and the concubine guarantees that this person will be able to translate the entire content of the letter of state of Lanling!" ”
Emperor Cheng was first disappointed, then happy, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" How come I didn't know that there were such capable people in the imperial court? ”
"It's the concubine's father, doesn't the concubine's father know about it?" Xue Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong, her father Lan Guang was the prime minister of the Yueyue Kingdom, even if he was recuperating at home because of the rebellion, the envoy of the Lanling Kingdom should know about such a major event, right? Xue Yi suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, in the past few days after entering the palace, too many things have happened, and she was so bent on secretly investigating the murderer of Du Ruo, so that she ignored her father, Xue Wu and the Lan family.
Xue Yi hadn't heard anything about anyone in the Lan family for a long time, and a hint of foreboding spread in her heart.
Xue Yi looked at Emperor Cheng, opened her mouth but didn't ask, if Emperor Cheng had the intention to hide it, even if she asked, she couldn't get a true answer.
It's better to be silent.
Emperor Cheng's face changed suddenly, and then he covered his forehead with one hand and said with a smile: "I look confused, I forgot to show the national letter to the prime minister." ”
Emperor Cheng glanced at Xue Yi from the corner of his eye, knowing that she was suspicious of Lan Guang's matter, his mind was spinning quickly, and asked: "Xue'er, are you very strange why the prime minister doesn't know about the national letter, in fact, there is something I have been hiding from you, I am afraid that you are worried and have not told you, you will not blame me, right?" ”
"But I wonder if the concubine's father can still share the emperor's worries?" Xue Yi's eyes were as cold as frost, and there was a deep meaning in her words.
A few days ago, the prime minister was occasionally infected with the plague in prison, and he was sick, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I ordered someone to hide it from you, Imperial Doctor Qin said that the prime minister had recovered, and it was time to go to the court, so I sent someone to the prime minister's mansion to pass the decree, and ordered the prime minister to enter the palace immediately." Emperor Cheng's eyes were in a trance, and Xue Yi was suspicious but didn't want to ask, so she had to nod.
Xue Yi wanted to see her father very much, but Emperor Cheng was suspicious, so he could only retreat, and Emperor Cheng did not stop him.
Xiao Yu came to the imperial study, Emperor Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Xiao Xiao, listen to Xue Yi's words, Lan Guang knows the Lanling State script, you quickly go to the heavenly prison to bring Lan Guang out, and allow him to enter the palace, just say that I am waiting for him in the imperial study, if he can really know the Lanling State script, I will allow him to be reinstated!" ”
Xiao Yu bowed: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Xiao Yu walked to the door, and Emperor Cheng stopped him and instructed: "You have to tell Lan Guang well, the matter of the prison must not be known by Concubine Xue!" Xiao Yu took the order and left.
In the prison, Lan Guangduan sat in front of the paint-mottled square table and practiced calligraphy, as calm as the study in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Xiao Yishuo, the fourth prince across the wall from him, was not as calm as his, and the four princes shouted through the railing: "Prime Minister Lan, father-in-law, I really didn't expect you and my son-in-law to meet here again." ”
Lan Guang didn't pay attention to it, just picked up the brush and wrote a little bit.
"Lan Guang, you don't pretend there, don't you know Xiao Yichen? It's a femme fatale, and he's not going to let us both go! Xiao Yishuo's head drilled hard into the iron railing.
Lan Guang paused his pen and said lightly: "The fourth prince, the current emperor is the fifth prince, not the prince of Yu, the prince of Yu has become an immortal, why should you slander him again!" ”
"Hahaha....... hahaha........ Lan Guang, why do you bother, so far, why do you still pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't tell the truth, just blame me Xiao Yishuo is blind, thinking that you really help me, I didn't expect you to help me openly, but secretly help that cripple!" Xiao Yishuo laughed until tears splashed.
Lan Guang was silent, Xiao Yu appeared in the prison at this time, he glared at Xiao Yishuo and said coldly: "The fourth prince is still good to live here to live for the rest of his life, if you talk nonsense again, it is the saint who cares about his brotherhood and can't bear to kill you, I'm afraid that someone will avenge the whole family, and find the prison and ask for your life!" ”
Lan Guang knew that Xiao Yu was here to welcome him out of the prison, and he was not in a hurry to complete the clothes that had been torn into wisps, and the purple crown on his head, and said, "Presumably Lord Xiao is here to pick up the old man out of the prison, right?" I wonder if my prime minister's mansion can be unsealed now? ”
Xiao Yu looked at Lan Guang in surprise: "Did the Prime Minister already know that Xiao was coming to pick up the adult?" ”
Lan Guang smiled noncommittally: "The envoy sent by the Lanling Kingdom is Huli Khan? ”
Xiao Yu nodded even more in surprise: "It seems to be a person named Khan, Xiao is not in the imperial court, so he doesn't know much." ”
"Okay, let's go out and talk." Lan Guang walked out of the prison with square steps, calm and relaxed, not at all like a prisoner who was detained in a prison that did not see the light of day.
Xiao Yishuo stretched out his hand to grab Lan Guang's robe sleeve, and shouted in his mouth: "Prime Minister, father-in-law, for the sake of our son-in-law, I beg you, when I see the emperor, please give me a favor, just say that I am willing to go far away and never return to the capital." ”
Lan Guang stopped, turned to stare at Xiao Yishuo, his eyes were shining, and he smiled coldly: "If it weren't for the reminder of the fourth prince, the old man would have almost forgotten how you treated my daughter!" Although the girl of Xue Wu is arrogant and arrogant, she is sincere to the fourth prince, she has been in love with you since she was eight years old, and she doesn't want you to treat her as if she were a shoe! If it weren't for the old man who couldn't bear to break her heart, if it wasn't for the old man who wanted her to learn a lesson and taste some hardships, how could you act arbitrarily and bully her! ”
Lan Guang brushed his sleeves away, Xiao Yishuo smacked hard, he believed that he would be able to escape from the prison, and at that time, he must make Lan Guang regret that he didn't save him today!
Xiao Yishuo is a villain who will forget and revenge.
Xiao Yu told Lan Guang about the matter on the way, Lan Guang nodded, and did not ask about the national letter, but just asked Xue Yi how it was: "The old man heard that Xue Yi has entered the palace, I don't know if she is okay in the palace?" ”
"The emperor loves Concubine Xue for three thousand, the mother is doing well, and the emperor also specially instructed Xiao to tell the prime minister that Concubine Xue has always thought that you have come to the plague to recuperate in the prime minister's mansion, so she has never visited her mother in the palace." Xiao Yu tactfully conveyed Emperor Chen's words.
Lan Guang naturally understood, nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, Prince Xiao, even if the old man doesn't think about himself, he will think about his daughter, and he will definitely not reveal a word." ”
"That's good."
The two got out of the carriage, and Lan Guang had already changed into the prime minister's court clothes in the carriage, and came to the imperial study accompanied by Xiao Wei.
"Sinner Lan Guang knocks on my emperor, long live, long live!" Lan Guang knelt down and climbed into the door, his voice revealing a bit of sadness.
Emperor Cheng sat firmly behind the dragon book case, glanced at Lan Guang on the ground out of the corner of his eyes, his heart was mixed, he endured humiliation and heavy wages and tasted courage, these years of hard work, but just to kill him to avenge his mother's concubine, but he didn't want to make people, he fell in love with his daughter, he wanted to imprison him in the prison, it was also a grievance for his mother, and he didn't want to rely on him today to solve the crisis of Lanling Kingdom.
There are many tastes and resentments, but he must also be treated with courtesy, because he is the king of a country, and he should be tolerant!
"Flat, sit."
"The sinners are afraid, thank you for sitting." Lan Guang kowtowed again, and May helped him to stand up and sit down.
"Prime Minister Lan, presumably Prince Xiao has already told you about the national letter, and also told you that Concubine Xue is fine, but she is just worried about your body." Emperor Cheng said bitterly.
Lan Guang stood up and bowed and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the old minister knows that he is guilty, and he can still serve the country today, redeem his past sorrows, and he will not disturb the peace of his mother again." ”
