Chapter 102: The Struggle for the Throne (22)
Xiao Yan and the others returned to Lingcang Pavilion.
"An Lu, you go down and rest first."
"Yes...", An Lu turned around and went back to the room.
Xiao Yan stood on the steps leading to the bedroom and looked back at Yan Ziyue, didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the room.
Yan Ziyue hesitated for a moment, watching Xiao Yan's figure disappear to the door of the room, but the door kept open, and after thinking about it, she followed.
Seeing Yan Ziyue appear at the door, Xiao Yan chuckled, poured a cup of tea for her and put it on the table, waiting for her to come.
Yan Ziyue walked over, sat down opposite Xiao Yan, picked up the cup and drank it with a grunt, handed over the empty cup and said, "Come again."
Xiao Yan smiled without saying a word, poured it for her again, and pushed it over.
Both were silent for a moment.
"It's only been a few days, are you still the Xiaoyan I know?"
"What do you say"? Xiao Yan just smiled and watched.
"I feel like I've never known you".
"Is it"? Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
"What have you done"?
"Do you want to know"? Xiao Yan's gaze locked on Yan Ziyue's face and never moved away.
"I want to know, would you say"?
"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you...".
"Let's talk about how you got back today?"
"Today, as you can see, I'm just arranging for the people who should be there to be there, but there are also unexpected gains today...", speaking of this, Xiao Yan's smile deepened, and the darkness in his eyes shone brightly.
Yan Ziyue looked at Xiao Yan, and had a shuddering feeling, as if this person was far more harmless than what he saw on the surface, whether he was a wolf or a snow wolf, he was soaked in a cold murderous nature, he never attacked easily, and he would bite people to death when he attacked.
Yan Ziyue shook her body, sometimes she really felt that Xiao Yan might turn into a wolf and pounce on her, so she deliberately moved out and raised her questions one by one.
Xiao Yan was quite patient to answer all of Yan Ziyue's questions, but there were some things that she couldn't tell.
Yan Ziyue probably understood, and she didn't know what else to ask for a while, it should be that she wanted to ask a bad question, maybe she felt that the relationship with Xiao Yan was not enough to be completely honest with each other.
There was silence again.
"I'll go first", Yan Ziyue got up and prepared to leave.
Xiao Yan watched Yan Ziyue get up and walked to the door step by step, not without feeling in his heart, the two of them were not as happy as before when they got along just now, and they always felt that something was changing, was it because they couldn't trust and be honest with each other?
"Month...".
"What"? Yan Ziyue saw Xiao Yan calling her, so she turned around and looked over.
"Nothing, we're friends, right, forever"?
Yan Ziyue smiled brightly when she heard this: "Yes."
Xiao Yan looked at the smiling face that was as romantic as a summer flower, and his heart was warm for a while, and the displeasure just now was swept away.
"Let's go...", Yan Ziyue turned around and flew up to the roof like a swift and disappeared into the night sky.
Yan Ziyue came back to the small courtyard, and Zhan Li had been waiting for her for a long time.
"It's back".
"Hmm...".
"What's wrong"?
"It's fine".
"You have all the thoughts written on your face."
"Father, when are we leaving"?
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back"?
"Hmm... I kind of miss Aunt Meng and them."
"Well... I'll arrange it as soon as possible, at most until the end of the Emperor's Blessing Conference, okay?"
"Hmm... Okay", Yan Ziyue's eyebrows sank, and she suddenly missed all the people and things in the Great Si Ming Palace.
Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue's performance, and felt that it was best to let her sleep at this time, since this period of time, so many things have happened, and she is tired enough, it was her own inconsiderate thought that led her into this right and wrong.
Yan Ziyue fell asleep, it turned out that it was very cold at night, and she buried herself in the quilt, which was really comfortable.
After Mr. Li returned to the Summer Palace, he has been entangled, not to report to His Majesty is to deceive the king, if he reports, not only thunder and anger, I am afraid that tomorrow, the sky will have to poke out a hole.
Manager Li knelt at the door of Xiaoji's dormitory, waiting for Xiaoji to wake up, while thinking about how to report the incident.
After Zhong Sheng returned to Taishi's Mansion, he directly consulted with Zhong Taishi.
"What, Sheng'er, how can you be so confused"?
"You quickly arrange for someone to kill that woman, even that evil seed."
"Daddy, that's my child, your own grandson."
"Hmph... That's a scourge, Sheng'er, you listen to your father", Zhong Taishi saw that Zhong Sheng couldn't bear it, so he arranged it himself: "Come on...".
After a while, Master Zhong's steward came, and after Master Zhong whispered to him for a while, the person who came nodded and retreated.
"Dad, you let their mother and son go, I'll let them go away."
"Why are you obsessed? Can you still fly away at this time? If their mother and son exist, it is ironclad evidence, not only you, but the entire Zhong Mansion is implicated.
After Taishi Zhong finished speaking, he was about to go out.
"Dad, where are you going"?
"At this time, Your Majesty's condemnation has not yet come down, which means that Manager Li has not yet told Your Majesty about this matter, and I will go and beg Manager Li for you."
"Dad, are you saying that Your Majesty doesn't know about this yet."
"Otherwise, what do you think, how can Your Majesty allow you to be up to this point."
Zhong Sheng reacted at this time, with His Majesty's temperament, if such things were known, it would be impossible for them to be without movement, it seems that someone deliberately spread the news to lead him to be fooled, it won't be Zhong Ling, so who will this person be?
Concubine Li summoned Xiao Sui, hugged her arms, didn't dare to close her eyes, tears couldn't stop flowing, and when the will of the former Xiao Huang came down, she had put life and death out of the way, and the only thing she couldn't let go of was the childish Xiao Sui.
"Mother, what's wrong with you"? Xiao Sui looked up at Concubine Li.
"It's okay, the mother concubine is fine, it's the mother concubine who is not good, and it has affected Sui'er", Concubine Li stroked Xiaosui and hugged her tighter.
Lingcang Pavilion, Xiao Yan has not been sleepy since Yan Ziyue left, his thin lips opened lightly, and the red leaves were blown.
A moment later, An Lu, Nanshan, Xifeng and others came outside the bedroom.
Xiao Yan walked to the door, opened the door and said, "You go to Yunqiongyuan quickly, Concubine Li's mother and son can't have anything to do for the time being."
"Yes...", the three of them took the order and flew away.
As soon as An Lu and the others arrived on the front foot, several black-clothed people killed them on the back foot, and they shot fiercely, taking people's lives without mercy.
An Lu and the others also took a lot of effort to stop the people who came, and they wanted to catch one or two back and forth to interrogate, but the other party was full of dead soldiers, and seeing that the mission was lost, they immediately killed themselves.
An Lu and the others were afraid that the other party would not be able to do it once and would come back, so they did not leave until the sky was slightly bright.
"Brother An Lu, why do you say the Lord asked us to protect them?" Zephyr asked An Lu with some puzzlement.
"What? Thou hast called the Lord up"?
"Don't you think so in your heart, and you, Brother Nanshan"? Xifeng looked at An Lu and then at Nanshan Road.
"Well... Then we will call the Lord from now on", An Lu replied with a smile.
"If they are enemies of the Lord, why do we still want to protect them, I also want to know"? Nanshan looked at An Ludao.
"You don't understand, the Lord is right and wrong, some things are still too early to be determined, and the child is innocent," An Lu looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky.
"These people are all from the Taishi Mansion", Nanshan walked over to a corpse and examined it carefully.
"Taishi's Mansion...", An Lu thought to himself that this Zhong Sheng and Zhong Taishi are really ruthless, and they have to deal with their own bloodline, and they are really not as good as beasts.
"Alright... It's almost dawn, let's go back", An Lu collected his thoughts, and the three of them flashed back to Lingcang Pavilion.
Zhong Taishi rushed to the Summer Palace overnight, and sent people to pass the word many times, asking to see Mr. Li, but they were all politely refused, and finally Mr. Li sent a blessing to tell Zhong Taishi, the matter has come to this, it is impossible to deceive Your Majesty, I hope that Zhong Taishi will make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that it will be widely implicated.
Zhong Taishi had no choice but to rush back to Taishi's Mansion, and after waiting for one night to see that the dead soldiers sent out did not survive, he knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, but to sacrifice his only biological son, it was really painful, only one night's hard work, and he was already full of gray hair.
Zhong Sheng came to the front of Zhong Taishi, knelt down, looked at his father, who had always called for wind and rain, and sat on the Taishi chair at this time, clearly a helpless old man, and felt guilty and sorry for himself for a while.
"Dad, the child is wrong, let the child bear it", Zhong Sheng said this a little choked.
"Sheng'er, what do you want your father to do"?
"Dad, the child is sorry for you, sorry for the Zhong family."
"Sheng'er, Dad won't let you have anything to do, if Dad can't keep you, Dad will be a national teacher in vain."
"Dad, what you want to do, the children listen to you".
"You are still a general, go out of the city now, secretly transfer troops to Beijing, and wait for my news."
"Dad...", Zhong Sheng looked at Zhong Taishi, in this way, this is to take the whole Zhong clan to Bo.
"Sheng'er, don't hesitate, let's go quickly."
Seeing that Taishi Zhong was so determined, Zhong Sheng immediately made up his mind, stood up, turned around and strode away.
When Xiaoji woke up, he saw Manager Li kneeling in the dormitory with a haggard look, so he called him in first for questioning.
"What's the matter"?
"Your Majesty, the minions deserve to die".
"Li Xiang, how many years have you been with me, have you done less damn things?"
"Yes, the slave is ashamed of Your Majesty."
"Alright... Say, what's the matter"?
"Your Majesty, the servant said, please calm down...", Manager Li said while looking at Xiao Ji's face.
"Say...", there was a hint of gloom on Xiao Ji's face.
"Your Majesty", Manager Li took a deep breath and said: "General Zhong Sheng has an affair with Concubine Li, and the royal bloodline of the eleventh prince Xiaosui may be wrong."
"What are you talking about", Xiao Ji was shocked and glared at Mr. Li.
When Mr. Li heard this, he lay on the ground, buried his head very low, and did not dare to raise his head.
"You tell me again", the five fingers of the owl clenched into fists, and the joints creaked.
Manager Li knew that the thunder was angry, and then it was inevitable that there would be a violent storm, and now he would only say more and more wrong.
Xiao Ji naturally heard what Manager Li said clearly, and couldn't believe his ears for a while, he was the emperor, his own woman disgraced the emperor, and messed up the royal bloodline, what a joke to say, what a joke this made the royal family face. Concubine Li, that slut deserves to die, and the evil seed also deserves to die, and she can't stay. Zhong Sheng, the carefree general, Zhong Lingzheng, the carefree Taishi, and the Zhong family have all bullied the royal family, and they really can't do it when they die alone, so lawless, bullying the king, and the crime is extremely evil.
Xiao Ji was so angry that he trembled a little, and a mouthful of blood gushed up and spat out, which frightened Manager Li.
