Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 143 The Imperial Capital Fryer
It didn't take long for news to come from the palace that the precious concubine who was newly promoted was actually the daughter of the late Zhou Ge Lao.
The officials who were originally opposed to her concubine were even more panicked now, if they didn't even have the background of a dusty woman, then the precious concubine would become the biggest rival of the harem women.
Just when everyone was about to join forces to write again, another piece of news exploded above everyone's heads like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking everyone's souls.
"The precious concubine is already a month pregnant!"
At this time, the entire imperial capital was directly turned upside down, and it was enough for them to be vigilant when their identity turned over, and they were even directly pregnant, if the precious concubine successfully gave birth to the prince, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Except for the previous concubine, there has been no good news in the palace for a long time, and Yue Jingyun is simply overjoyed.
It's just that there was a storm in the harem, and within a few days, rumors spread that the child in the precious concubine's belly was not the emperor at all, but a wild seed who didn't know which merry guest.
The emperor was angry and sent the two nobles and a concubine who spread this rumor into the cold palace, which caused public anger, and the officials wrote and resigned, if the emperor did not abolish the precious concubine, they would not return to the court.
Yue Jingyun was unusually tough this time, and there was no intention of compromise at all, on the first day, he ordered two officials to resign, and on the second day, he allowed four officials to resign, and on the third day, before he could give another order, the remaining officials automatically went to the court.
In the next period of time, when there was almost no calm in the court and shouting, even many old people who had not been in court for a long time were alarmed, and Lin Zi'an was also called to the palace three or four times.
The emperor seemed to be iron-hearted, no matter what others said, he ignored them all, and because he was not worried about the imperial doctor in the palace, he invited Chen Ming into the palace to help the precious concubine recuperate.
When Mu Yunlan heard the news from Qingsleeve, she almost smiled and bent over: "It's really a good method, but why is the emperor so insistent this time?" ”
Qingsleeve thought for a while: "Maybe the emperor really likes the precious concubine?" After saying that, I felt that it was impossible, and I couldn't help laughing.
"If you don't understand, just keep watching, you'll always know in the end, by the way, is there any news from Uncle Wen Yu?"
"Mr. Wenyu has been staring, saying that he has received the exact news, Feng Jingyu left the imperial capital in three days and returned to Phoenix Valley."
Mu Yunlan sat up straight, a flash of light flashed in her eyes: "Is there any news from the people in the palace?" ”
"I haven't heard anything yet."
Mu Yunlan stood up and walked back and forth twice: "For so many years, it's not that no one has ever fought the idea of Phoenix Valley, it's just that because of the unique location of Phoenix Valley, and the use of poison is invincible, no one can attack it." If Feng Jingyu is allowed to return to Phoenix Valley, it will be a dragon entering the sea, and it will be difficult to fight his idea again. ”
"Miss, do you mean that the emperor will definitely send someone to intercept and kill Feng Jingyu halfway?"
"Definitely! Feng Jingyu wants to leave is a sudden decision, the emperor will not know how long before us, if you want to do it, you can only arrange it in a hurry, from here to Phoenix Valley, there are many places suitable for ambushes along the way, but the closest to the imperial capital is Luoxia Valley! ”
Qingsleeve's eyes widened slightly: "Miss is really smart." "There are so many things that can be deduced from this information alone, and that first beauty, Ning Huanyan, definitely doesn't have this ability.
Mu Yunlan didn't notice her compliment, and after taking two steps back and forth, she suddenly stopped: "Qingsleeve, inform Uncle Wen Yu that I am going to Luoxia Valley." ”
"Miss! Slave and maid go to ...... for you."
"No, this matter is very important, I must go in person." She wants to earn a life-saving grace from Feng Jingyu, and then use this life-saving grace to blackmail him to help Uncle Huang detoxify.
"It's too dangerous for you to go in person, or the slave maid will go and inform King Ning'an and let him ......"
"No, you can't let Uncle Huang know." Mu Yunlan hurriedly vetoed, "Qingsleeve, tell Uncle Wen Yu and the others to quietly disguise themselves out of the city in batches and gather in Changlin in the south of the city." ”
"But, miss......"
"Go!" Mu Yunlan ordered coldly, and her attitude was extremely resolute.
"Yes."
Mu Yunlan changed into men's clothes, prepared the dagger whiplash medicine, thought about it and wrote a note to Bizhu for keeping: "If grandpa asks, just say that I have something to do, if I can't deal with it, give him this note."
Also, tell Qingsleeve to keep an eye on the dustless monk, no matter what happens during this time, just write it down, and don't move the rest, don't startle the snake, and wait for me to come back.
If there is a problem that can't be solved, go to Bezhuang to find King Ning'an. ”
"Yes, miss, you should be careful."
"Okay."
Mu Yunlan went out of the city in a low-key manner in men's clothes, and then got on the horse and quickly headed south.
On the official road, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly moved forward, and there was Bai Su in white clothes at the wheel of the carriage, and many people saw such a beautiful woman rushing to the car, and they couldn't help but secretly scold the owner of the carriage for not having pity for the jade.
The knowledgeable saw the sign of the Phoenix Valley on the carriage, and hurriedly bypassed it and didn't dare to look more, and there were two illiterate people who stepped forward to talk to Bai Su, and the words were very frivolous.
"This little beauty, what kind of car is you driving, come to my brother, and my brother will take you on a horse."
"Haha, is it riding a horse, or is it ......" The other person was also salivating, and his eyes kept lingering on Bai Su.
"If a beautiful woman finds riding a horse boring, she can do something else......"
Before the words fell, I saw the curtain of the carriage swaying slightly, and two silver needles flew out with lightning speed, one left and one right between the eyebrows of the two.
The two of them opened their eyes widely, the expressions on their faces were stunned, and then they fell off their horses without a sound.
Bai Su drove the carriage around, and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened: "Thank you, master." ”
"It's a gesture." Feng Jingyu leaned on the side of the carriage, looking lazy and lazy, "Recently, the imperial capital has been very lively, I still want to see if that Wuchen will starve to death, it's a pity, I'm afraid I won't see it." ”
"Something happened in the Phoenix Valley, it's unpredictable. The master went to calm the situation, and then he could come back and continue to watch the excitement. ”
"It will take at least three months for me to come back, and I won't be able to wait." Feng Jingyu sighed slightly, with an indescribable regret, "What is the place to go further?" ”
"Thirty miles further is the Valley of Luoxia."
"Luoxia Valley?" Feng Jingyu gently hooked the corners of her lips, "This is a good place." ”
In the woods more than twenty miles away from Luoxia Valley, Mu Yunlan looked at the people in front of him, and his expression was very cold: "You are all my uncles, and you have followed your father all the way to the battlefield. ”
Wen Yu stepped forward and bowed to Mu Yunlan: "We are the general's personal guard, the general is not here now, so naturally he is the personal guard of the young lady, why should the young lady be polite, just give the order." ”
Mu Yunlan didn't call out, but looked at the others behind Wen Yu.
The others looked at each other, and it wasn't until Wen Yu's gaze swept over that they hurriedly knelt in front of Mu Yunlan: "Please give an order, Miss." ”
They are all Mu Zhengmin's old subordinates, and they are absolutely loyal to him, they didn't react just now, but they subconsciously regarded Mu Yunlan as a junior, and when they heard her call her uncle, they were still happy in their hearts, and they almost forgot that they were different now.
Mu Yunlan nodded, and then helped Wen Yu up: "Uncle Wen Yu, now that the situation is special, I am not welcome, if there is anything offended, I will make amends to your uncles another day." ”
As she spoke, she took out a hand-drawn map, and pressed it to the place where they were now: "We are here now, twenty miles southwest is the Luoxia Valley, and I deduce that the Assassins should be here to make a move, so we must rush over at the right time." ”
"When is this just the right time?" Someone couldn't help but ask, and when they saw everyone's eyes looking over, they couldn't help but be embarrassed.
Mu Yunlan was unimpressed, and explained: "If we go over before the assassins arrive, and after being discovered, we will be wrapped into dumplings and boiled in a pot. If we go too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to save adults, and the bamboo basket will be empty. It's not too soon, it's just right. ”
"That's what you say, it's not easy to do."
"Just listen to my commands."
"Yes." Everyone hurriedly responded.
Mu Yunlan nodded with satisfaction, and then added: "By the way, when you go out, it's inconvenient to call Miss or something, just call me Young Master." ”
"Yes, young master!"
The crowd abandoned their horses, chose a path without people, and headed towards the Luoxia Valley.
Wen Yu followed closely by Mu Yunlan's side, worried that she wouldn't be able to stand the suffering, but after seeing her footwork and posture, she couldn't help but be secretly frightened: "Young Master, your martial arts are making rapid progress." ”
Mu Yunlan smiled when she heard this, she just picked up the lost things again, there was no need to take detours, and with the support of various precious medicinal materials, this was twice the result with half the effort: "Compared with Uncle Wen Yu, I am still far behind." ”
"The young master is young, and now he is already very good."
After walking for about two hours, nearly half of the journey, Mu Yunlan ordered everyone to rest.
"Young master, are we going far away like this?" Someone asked vaguely as he munched on dry food.
"Well, it's more than ten miles away, but this way, there are no people along the way, and it can make us see the right time."
"Timing it?" Many people were confused, and when they looked up, they had already entered the mountain, and there were rocks everywhere, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Mu Yunlan didn't speak, and after waiting for a moment to rest before returning to the road, she stopped under a mountain rock, signaled everyone to pay attention to hiding, and then led everyone around the mountain rock to look below.
Everyone still didn't understand at a glance: "You can see the entire Luoxia Valley here, and you can see it in other places, don't you feel anything special?" ”
Mu Yunlan didn't explain too much, and ordered everyone to prepare according to what she had ordered before.
