Chapter 299: Being Manipulated at Will
Since the An family has such strength, why did Empress An Ruo enter the palace to become the queen in the first place, and after Empress An Ruo died, the An family never sent anyone to take care of the young Luo Mingxuan?
It's just that although she was full of doubts in her heart, Bai Youlan didn't show it at all.
From An Wenshi's excited words, Bai Youlan heard a lot of information.
Over the years, the guards of the An family have been waiting for Luo Mingxuan to bring him, waiting to serve him.
As soon as Luo Mingxuan and his party appeared in Anjia Town, they attracted An Wenshi's attention, not only because there had been no strangers in this Anjia Town for many years, but because of Luo Mingxuan's appearance!
It was also at this time that Bai Youlan knew why she always felt that Luo Mingxuan was not very similar to the current emperor's appearance, and it turned out that Luo Mingxuan's appearance was mostly inherited from Empress An Ruo.
However, Luo Mingxuan's appearance is not half feminine, but looks very handsome.
An Wenshi had been chattering with excitement since he saw the An family guards in Luo Mingxuan and made arrangements for them, and that An Guangqi had never said a word since he knew Luo Mingxuan's identity.
Suddenly, An Guangqi ran straight to Luo Mingxuan's side and knelt down without saying a word.
"Enlightenment!"
Seeing this, An Wenshi's face changed, for fear that the child would make another tendon problem, and immediately shouted An Guangqi's name with anger, but suddenly woke up to the fact that they were already Luo Mingxuan's subordinates at this time.
With a "poof", An Wenshi knelt on the ground and said, "My subordinates have trespassed, and I ask the prince to surrender." It's just that An Guangqi has grown up under his subordinates since he was a child, although his personality is stubborn, but he is not bad-minded, can he ask the prince to be lenient? His subordinates have thanked the prince for him! ”
"It's okay, you get up."
Turning his eyes, Luo Mingxuan looked at An Guangqi who was kneeling on the ground, and also didn't say a word, waiting for him to speak.
Under Luo Mingxuan's gaze, An Guangqi finally spoke: "Lord Wang, please allow your subordinates to follow Lord Wang!" ”
This An Guangqi was not originally a member of the escort team, Luo Mingxuan said indifferently: "Reason." ”
"Subordinate...... Subordinate......"
An Guangqi couldn't find the words for a while, and his eyes were red in a hurry.
At this time, An Wenshi on the side couldn't help but sigh lightly, and after glancing at Luo Mingxuan, he said, "Guangqi, I have said many times that your personality is reckless and impulsive, and you are not suitable to be a secret guard. ”
"Elderly ......"
An Guangqi's eyes were full of pleading, An Wenshi was almost shaken, but seeing that Luo Mingxuan's expression was still indifferent, he immediately said to him: "The prince has a lot to do now, if you dare to say more, Guangqi, you will go to the ancestral hall to guard the lantern in the future." ”
Hearing this, An Guangqi lowered his head with difficulty, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he also knew that he was sad.
At this time, Bai Youlan suddenly said: "An Guangqi, do you really want to follow the prince at any cost?" ”
"Yes, at any cost, even if you sacrifice your life, your subordinates will never betray the prince!"
An Guangqi's words were as solemn and heavy as an oath, but in exchange for Bai Youlan's almost mocking cold snort, he suddenly became anxious, but remembering An Wenshi's words just now, he barely suppressed his impatience and said, "My subordinates will definitely do what they say!" ”
"Say, it's never better than doing! Say a thousand or ten thousand pieces but can't make one, you know? ”
When Bai Youlan said this, her expression was extremely happy, as if she had encountered something worth being happy about, and after An Guangqi said the sentence "But according to the princess's orders", she smiled even more happily.
Luo Mingxuan reached out and rubbed her head, knowing what was going on in her little head, but he didn't break it, just watched her every move with a smile.
An Wenshi saw it on the side, Bai Youlan's status in his heart was raised again, seeing Luo Mingxuan's smile that he had never shown to others, how could he not understand?
I don't know what Bai Youlan said next to An Guangqi's ear, but seeing An Guangqi solemnly kowtow to Bai Youlan, he got up and left without looking back, and since then no one has seen him in Anjia Town.
Later, the former reckless boy played a big role in the future.
Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
This period of time in the capital can really be described as changing.
Although the emperor suppressed the matter of Luo Mingxuan, the king of Jing, who was not really in the capital, but this matter was deliberately leaked by Queen Zhou, King Duan and others, and almost everyone in the court and the ministers of the court and the central government knew about it.
And under the instigation of Empress Zhou's brother Zhou Hongyi, in the past few days, many ministers have jointly counted the ten major crimes of King Jing, including the crime of bullying the king, and asked the emperor to severely punish Luo Mingxuan!
After all, paper can't contain the fire, but the emperor didn't expect that Luo Mingxuan's whereabouts were so strange that the people he sent out couldn't find them, but this matter was leaked by Queen Zhou.
If it weren't for the ministers led by Gu Xiaoran's father, General Gu Da, who strived for King Jing's Luo Mingxuan to make repeated military exploits, and couldn't punish the hearts of the soldiers at will, they didn't let the court show a one-sided form.
What's more, the emperor's heart is also quite angry with Luo Mingxuan's reckless behavior, which is why the emperor knows that it is Empress Zhou and others who are fanning the flames behind his back, but he closes his eyes and lets them toss.
For the purpose of Empress Zhou's tossing, the emperor also knows it.
In recent days, the emperor has become more and more weak and mentally weak, how can he not consider who will inherit the throne.
Although, he has always hoped that he and An Ruo's children can inherit the throne, but the scene where the master of repentance asserted that Luo Mingxuan would not live to be 25 years old is still vivid, and he can't hand over the Northern Tang Kingdom to a person who doesn't live long!
It's just that knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Duanwang Luo Haoyu is really not a good successor to the throne, although Duanwang's filial piety is commendable, I heard that he couldn't sleep at night for a while, and immediately offered a batch of pills refined by Fangshi to him.
After eating the pills offered by King Duan, the emperor obviously felt much better, and he could sleep for an hour or two more at night, which made the emperor praise and reward King Duan.
Excluding Duanwang, the emperor was originally more inclined to Fuwang Luo Yuze, who was originally frail and sickly, and Luo Yuze, the calm and peaceful Fuwang, and Luo Qianmo, the intelligent and elegant Rongwang.
However, the whereabouts of Fuwang Luo Yuze have been unknown since that time when he escorted supplies to the border pass, and I am afraid that it is already more than lucky.
Unsuccessful, sick, and missing, the emperor's withering made the emperor feel sad, and he was even more sleepless day and night, and became ill, if it weren't for the support of the pills offered by King Duan, the emperor would probably have fallen ill.
The emperor judged that Gu Xiaoran, who pretended to be Luo Mingxuan, must know Luo Mingxuan's whereabouts, but no matter how much pressure he exerted, this Gu Xiaoran just refused to speak, which made the emperor extremely angry, but he was helpless.
He can't do anything to Gu Xiaoran, otherwise he will be guilty of Zhou Hongyi and others, he doesn't want him and An Ruo's only living child to follow An Ruo, especially if he doesn't want to be pushed behind his back and cause Luo Mingxuan's life to die, he is ashamed of An Ruo after all.
Originally, the emperor would not feel so ashamed of An Ruo, but during this period of time, his physical condition has deteriorated, and these days for some reason, he frequently dreams of An Ruo, and An Ruo keeps crying in his dreams, accusing him of not treating their children well......
Every night, the emperor would wake up from his dream, and he could no longer sleep.
On this day, the emperor summoned Gu Xiaoran into the palace again, and today he made up his mind that he must learn about Luo Mingxuan's whereabouts from Gu Xiaoran.
In the study, the emperor looked at the person standing in front of him, who had the same face as Luo Mingxuan at this time.
"Gu Xiaoran, at this time, you still refuse to tell his whereabouts? Do you really think I won't kill you? ”
Although the emperor used two questions in a row, Gu Xiaoran still heard the monstrous anger from his tone, but he ......
Gu Xiaoran smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen is unwilling to say it, it's really that Weichen doesn't know where King Jing is now." ”
The emperor snorted coldly and asked, "You don't know, if you don't know, how did you learn about that sentence from him last time, huh?" ”
The emperor looked at Gu Xiaoran's gaze, which was already full of raging murderous aura.
A drop of sweat slipped from Gu Xiaoran's forehead, he knew that the emperor had already moved to kill, and fell to his knees with a "poof", but did not say a word.
It's just that Gu Xiaoran couldn't help wailing in her heart: Luo, you bastard, you said that if you don't come back, you won't come back, and you brought such a sentence to the emperor! That's the emperor today, you might as well go and threaten to kill someone else's queen directly!
What else can Gu Xiaoran say?
The last time Luo Mingxuan asked Ben Lei to send the sentence, the sentence "If Queen Zhou continues to provoke this king, this king may consider letting her disappear into this world from now on", Gu Xiaoran thought about it for a long time before finding an opportunity to tell the emperor.
That time, the emperor almost took off his head to vent his anger!
Moreover, depending on the situation, he has been completely caught by the emperor with "pigtails", and it is difficult to get out.
Luo Mingxuan, if you don't come back, I will really be killed by you!
Just when Gu Xiaoran was kneeling there, facing the emperor's boundless might, and muttering to himself in his heart, he suddenly heard the voice of the waiter outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Gu is waiting for the emperor's summons outside the door." ”
"Biography!"
Accompanied by a message from the emperor, Gu Xiaoran's heart jumped wildly.
"Wechen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as General Gu entered the door, he knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
It's just that the room was quiet, and the emperor didn't make a sound to calm him down, nor did he speak, just let him kneel on the ground like that.
An extremely bad premonition rose from Gu Xiaoran's heart!
