When Ran Ying left, she hired a carriage and walked on the official road for three days, and finally arrived in Dongxia Prefecture. She didn't stop for a moment, and rushed directly to the Ruji Monastery where Yi Fu practiced outside the city.

It is a private monastery with a closed gate. Ran Ying stepped forward and knocked on the door. In the middle of the night, a maid came to open the door, saw her, and looked alert: "Who is the girl looking for?" ”

Ran Ying got straight to the point: "I came from Chang'an, and I have something important to see Master Miaosheng." ”

The maid looked her up and down, looked hesitant, and said, "Wait a minute." With that, he closed the door.

After a while, the door opened again, and it was still the little maid, who asked, "Does the guest have a name?" ”

Ran Ying said: "I didn't bring it with me in a hurry." Please inform the Crown Prince, I am the Crown Prince's secret envoy. ”

She deliberately didn't bring her name. Her women's clothing appeared in Miaoshengyuan, and if she used a name post, it was undoubtedly an important piece of evidence.

When the maid heard the word "crown prince", her face changed slightly, and she hesitated for a while, but still said, "Please wait." ”

The door closed again.

This time, Ran Ying waited for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

She even wondered, didn't the Crown Prince believe that the crown prince would send a secret envoy to come, and he was not ready to open the door to see her at all?

The crown prince is the eldest son born to the emperor and Yi Fushi, and she thinks that she can talk about it under the pretense of the prince's mouth.

After waiting too long, Ran Ying was about to climb over the wall and enter, when the door of the temple suddenly opened.

Just now, the little maid came out and saluted respectfully: "Girl, please come in." ”

Ran Ying owed a debt and strode in.

The vegetation in the temple is lush and sandalwood, which is both elegant and quiet. It seems that the king of Wudu is filial to his mother, and everything is arranged very well.

The maid ushered Ran Ying into the guest hall, where a middle-aged woman sat on the table, dressed in a grey bhikshuni robe and holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.

She doesn't use powder, she has fine lines at the corners of her eyes and lips, and there are traces left by the wind and frost on her face.

But the facial features are very beautiful, and she must have been a graceful beauty when she was young.

The most striking thing is that on her head, there is a thick hair that reaches to her shoulders.

Ran Ying secretly thought, it seems that the rumors that the Supreme secretly ordered her to grow her hair and prepare to take her back to the palace are true.

She and Yuan Bao Torch are a young husband and wife, and their relationship is excellent. I heard that she has a simple temperament, dignified and virtuous, and the emperor loves her very much.

Unfortunately, she gave birth to twelve children for the emperor, but most of them died young, and only the crown prince Yuanqin, the king of Wudu, Yuanwu, and the princess of Changyi survived.

For this reason, the emperor has always pitied her and loved her.

If it weren't for Rouran's marriage, they would definitely become a pair of emperors and queens who left a good name through the ages.

She walked in and bowed to Yi Fushi: "The little girl greets Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”

Yi Fu Shi opened his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "I am now a wonderful victory. The worldly things are none of my business. ”

Ran Ying smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that the red dust is chaotic, His Highness has no way to escape, and he is reluctant to escape." ”

"Presumptuous!" Seeing that she spoke bluntly, a maid beside the queen reprimanded loudly.

Ran Ying was straightforward: "If the queen really wants to cut off the red dust, why does she have to obey Your Majesty's orders and grow long hair?" ”

Efer's lips trembled for a moment, and it took him half a day to regain his calm countenance.

She asked, "Has the crown prince always been good?" ”

"The so-called mother-son connection, His Royal Highness is not good, how can the crown prince be good?"

"I'm away from the palace now, eating fasting and chanting Buddha, what's wrong with me?"

Ran Ying said: "Regarding the matter of the queen's preparation to return to the palace, the current queen Yu Jiulu already knows about it, and she has a lot of trouble with Your Majesty in the imperial city, and Your Majesty is overwhelmed and has gone to live in the palace." ”

"What?" Epherd's was a little panicked.

To make matters worse, Rouran now knows about it. According to the northern Tanmalay newspaper, Rouran has been mobilizing troops on a large scale in recent days, and there seems to be a military operation. There is now a lot of discussion between the DPRK and China, and they all say that the mobilization of the army by Rouran has something to do with this matter. ”

When Yi Fu heard this, he was a little panicked, and he said: "Ridiculous! How is it possible to start an army because I am a monk? ”

Ran Ying's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods, just to make Yi Fu panic.

When people panic, they are easy to be led by the nose.

Seeing that she was panicked, Ran Ying approached her and said to her: "Yu Jiulu's family is jealous by nature, and he has a fierce temperament, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. Not only the concubines in the palace, but also the princes and princesses all shy away from her. She learned that His Majesty was going to quietly let His Highness return to the palace, and wrote to her father crying that he would be abandoned. She is the most favored princess in Rouran, and Rouran Khan will not react to the crying of her beloved daughter? However, he did not write to the Supreme, but mobilized troops to the border in a big way. What does His Highness think is the reason? ”

She said in one breath, not giving Efer time to think at all.

Yi Fu really panicked, and his panic could not be concealed.

She avoided Ran Ying's aggressive gaze: "Military affairs, how do I know what the reason is?" ”

"If His Highness returns to the palace and invades Rouran, His Highness will be a sinner in the world. Your Royal Highness, this is a major event involving the merits of the ages, once you make a mistake......"

Outside the window, the sunset was slanting, and a ray of golden light was shining obliquely through the carved window, shining on Ran Ying's body, inlaid her with a layer of soft golden light.

She stepped forward and asked loudly: "Your Highness, you said that this matter has been related to your name before and after, the crown prince...... How can it be good? ”

Ephesian's lips trembled violently.

She knew the weight of this matter, and of course she didn't want to become the demon queen of the country in the mouth of future generations.

However, she was not reconciled.

After being trapped here for a long time, she finally received a secret edict from the emperor asking her to return to the palace, and she didn't want to lose this probably the only opportunity: "Is this absolutely impossible?" ”

The corners of Ran Ying's mouth hooked into a smile: "Once Rouran invades, our army will need to be transferred to the north, and the east will inevitably be weak." If Gao Huan takes advantage of the power of the whole country to come, he can go straight to Chang'an in three days. Does Her Royal Highness want to take a risk with the Yuan family's world? ”

That's an exaggeration.

Even if Rou Ran attacked in a big way at this moment, Yuwentai was forced to meet the enemy, and with the strength of the country after the Battle of Shayuan, it would not make the east empty and weak.

Ran Ying is just deceiving Yi Fu Shi is a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is just bluffing her exaggeratedly.

He sat still and closed his eyes. For a long time, it seemed to be settled.

Ran Ying continued: "Now Yecheng and Chang'an are pouring the strength of the whole country to attack and defend each other. In this protracted tug-of-war, the Guanzhong area is already inferior because its products are not as good as the east, if the north is unstable again, how can His Majesty's country sit firmly? What's more, not only Your Majesty, but Gao Huan also married Rouran's princess, and Yecheng also intermarried with Rouran to seek an alliance. If Gao Huan and Rouran join forces, Chang'an will be overturned only overnight. I think His Highness should be very clear about this. ”

The sun is setting even more inclining. The light shines on Epherd's face that is no longer young.

Finally, she slowly opened her eyes, but two lines of tears flowed from her eyes.

remembered the last concern: "What about the prince?" ”

Ran Ying smiled: "The prince said that he persuaded His Majesty bitterly to take advantage of it, but His Majesty missed His Highness too much and couldn't listen to it at all." Therefore, the crown prince can only send me to tell His Highness that if you receive an edict from Your Majesty to take His Highness back to the palace in the near future, please do not go back on the grounds that you are dedicated to the Buddha. This is the only way to avoid war at this unfavorable time—and the only way to save His Highness's life. ”

As soon as he heard this, tears rolled down his eyes: "Am I not going to be able to return to Your Majesty for the rest of my life?" I really miss Your Majesty! ”

Ran Ying drove forward, grabbed Yi Fushi's hand tightly, and said, "Queen, please bear with me for a while." Retreating from Rouran is not a long-term strategy, and the DPRK and China have been discussing ways to restrain Rouran. It's just that now that we are surrounded by strong enemies, we still need to keep our eyes on it. ”

……

"When Rouran collapses, His Majesty will naturally give death to the Yu Jiulu clan and welcome the queen back to the palace. Queen, what you need now is to stay alive and wait for the day when you will be reunited with the Supreme Husband and Wife, and reunited with the Crown Prince's mother and son. ”

……

Epherds stopped talking. The whole room fell silent.

She married Yuan Bao Ju at the age of fourteen, and followed him several ups and downs, and was displaced.

However, the relationship between the two has never been diminished by the intertwining of the outside world, but has become more mellow with the passage of time.

However, the Son of Heaven also has times of difficulty. When the abolished edict was placed in front of her, she understood for the first time that she would never be the first in her husband's life.

The gorgeous Miyagi is a dead end.

The silent temple is also a dead end.

She was devastated.

She looked at Ran Ying's face through tears. I only feel that this face bathed in the golden light is as beautiful as the flying sky painted in the Buddha cave.

Yi Fu Shi looked at her, with tears in his eyes, and asked sadly, "Qin'er, ...... How is he? ”

"Prince, everything is fine, and a few days ago, Zhizun praised his poetry and writing for improving again. The Supreme has let him start to participate in court politics, and he has also praised him for doing a good job. "Ran Ying doesn't know the prince, so she can only talk nonsense.

Only then did Yi Fu show some smiles, and when he heard the good news of the prince, it seemed that a glimmer of light finally appeared in the silence and suffering.

Good blood is the last hope.

She finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to the prince's arrangement." ”

After getting the promise of Yi Fushi, Ran Ying prepared to go back to Huazhou.

Before leaving, Yi Fu suddenly asked her, "When were you with the prince?" ”

Ran Ying smiled at her: "The prince won't let me say where I came from, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to ask, even if I ask the prince." Maybe we'll meet again. In the future, when the time is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally tell the truth. ”

She and Yu Wentai had already prepared a follow-up move.

If the Yu Jiu Lu clan still refuses to give up, and the Rouran army really invades for this reason, whether it is war or peace, it will inevitably involve the Yi Fu clan.

At that time, Ran Ying will come to see her again.

When this matter came to an end, Ran Ying put on men's clothes and still made his long history in the court.

Even if Yi Fu asked about the prince in the future, even if the prince really didn't know, Yi Fu would think that it was just "the time has not come".
