The soldiers gathered outside the courtyard of the Luo family, they didn't do anything, but it had a great impact on Luo's father.

There are many people in the neighborhood, and it is easy to spread bad words.

Some people say that the old man of the Luo family has been bribed, and people in the court are going to arrest him.

Some people also say that an official fell in love with the girl of the Luo family and sent someone to propose marriage.

All kinds of remarks surrounded the Luo family, and Luo's father closed the door and pretended to be unwell and needed to recuperate in order to prevent some people from going to see jokes.

Many changes in things were not in the original plan, and when it was just beginning, Yan Mingjiu also considered whether Jiang Li would spy on Cangzi Meng's appearance. But when he saw Jiang Li's attitude at the beginning, he silently extinguished this idea.

Now, the slightly more powerful ministers in the Nansheng court are Jiang Li's right-hand men, and they played a big role when he ascended the throne.

Even they are spying on the location of Jiang Li's harem, and the person behind the national battle should not sit still.

In Luo's house, in Luo's father's room, Yan Mingjiu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "This Nansheng's palace should also change."

Father Luo smiled: "Sir, aren't you worried about your wife in the palace?" ”

He thinks that he has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has some experience in seeing people and things.

But in the face of Yan Mingjiu, a man who was in his prime, he couldn't see through it at all.

Ming Ming is young, but his style is more calm than that of an old man like him, and he acts decisively and ruthlessly, leaving no room for error.

"You have time to care about Xiaosheng's wife, why don't you care about your future life in Nansheng?"

The petty officials who confront the royal family will not get a good end in the end. Father Luo knew that from the time he stepped on the boat of the Ninth Prince, there was no room to turn back.

The man in front of him must play a crucial role in the future of the world.

Luo's father identified this belief, so even if he took it all, he would not break the agreement.

"Hehe, the old man is old, and everything he does is just for the only bloodline, so that the little girl can spend her future life in peace under the protection of her husband.

My old bones, the loess is almost above my head, so I don't have to plan for the future. ”

His voice was full of the vicissitudes of old age, and he didn't think much of Yan Mingjiu's words. Everything I do now is for my only daughter Luo Shushu, and for her to live a better life in the future, carefree, safe and stable.

Yan Mingjiu put down the teacup, half a cup of tea left a lingering fragrance, and a broken tea stalk was floating in the center.

"Mr. Luo is a good student, if anyone comes again, let someone notify Xiaosheng immediately."

"Sir, walk slowly."

It was another night, and Cangzi Meng was anxious for a whole day.

She didn't know when it got dark.

"What are you thinking?"

Leng Buding's voice from behind startled her.

Cangzimeng stroked his frightened little heart, turned around and saw the person coming, and complained: "I'm scared to death, can you make a little sound when you walk." ”

Yan Mingjiu said that he was a little aggrieved: "Uh...... I'm sorry. ”

Cangzi Meng suddenly realized what was wrong, and lowered his voice to speak: "Why are you here?" ”

"Didn't Nianbai tell you that I would come?"

"Oh, I remember." Cangzi Meng touched the back of his head.

"Where did you go to Jiangli?"

"Hmm......" Cangzi Meng's expression became very strange for a while.

She didn't want to mention the word Jiang Li in front of Yan Mingjiu, she always felt very strange.

Did he say that? Let you do the things of the concubine. ”

Yan Mingjiu had already known about this matter, and instead of making Cang Zimeng squirm and not want to speak, it was better for him to mention it.

Cangzimeng closed his eyes and nodded slightly: "What should I do?" ”

She really has no choice, she doesn't want to fall into Jiang Li's trap again, and she is not willing to give up halfway.

Hope is right in front of you, and if you stick to it, you can get there.

What should she do at this step?

A pair of powerful arms embraced her into her arms, and Cangzi Meng did not resist.

Let her have something to rely on, just for a while.

Yan Mingjiu comfortingly stroked her back, lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly, the tip of his nose against her black hair.

"To be honest, I don't want you to stay here, not for a moment, but this is your heart's desire. Now you have two choices, give up your revenge and follow me back to the West Curtain. Or promise him and end up killing him with your own hands. ”

Cangzi Meng stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his strong waist and approached.

Pale cheeks pressed against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.

"I think I should say yes."

This is the answer she has been destined to answer from the beginning, agreeing to be Jiang Li's concubine, it is best to replace Murong Lian's place in his heart, so as to return all the wounds he once burned on his body one by one, and send him into the abyss, from which he will never recover.

"But I don't want to."

She looked up, tears in her eyes reflecting his handsome face.

I don't want to do it, but the burden on her body must let her move forward.

"Well, I'm by your side."

Yan Mingjiu reached out and gently stroked her cheek, all the pity buried in his heart.

Cangzimeng shook his head: "I don't want to, I'm tired of trying to please that person with my heart and lungs, and I'm tired of looking at his hypocritical face all day long." I want to go home, but I don't have a home for a long time......"

Beizhao is extinguished, her family is dead, where does she still have a home.

"No, you have, our home. After we have avenged you, we will go home, and you will be the only princess of Hades. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are. ”

Whether it is the princess Xinning or the daughter of an ordinary commoner. She will be the princess of the Hades of the West Curtain, the only wife, not the side concubine who makes him suffer from gains and losses, and makes her feel both true and false.

"Well, after the national sacrifice ceremony, I promised Jiang Li to be his concubine, complete our plan, and let me be your wife as an ordinary person."

Yan Mingjiu was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't dare to show any reaction on the surface.

promised to be his wife, Yan Mingjiu was naturally excited. But before that, he had to be another man's woman, and he was still unhappy.

This is a hurdle that must be taken, and Yan Mingjiu wants to help Cangzi dream over.

The next plan, which is about to begin, will set off some stormy waves in Nansheng.

The various people who led out of the shadows collapsed the wall in Cangzimeng's fragile heart and disintegrated the last trace of strength in Cangzimeng.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a knock on the door, and Yan Ran's voice came from outside the door: "Have you slept with books?" ”

Yan Mingjiu left through the back window in the blink of an eye, leaving a gust of breeze that swept through the broken hair on Cangzi Meng's forehead.

Cangzimeng shouted at the door: "No, is there anything wrong with you at such a late hour?" ”

"You open the door, I have something to tell you."

When Jiang Li wanted to make her a concubine, Yanran was also present, with Yanran's deep love for Murong Lian, what did she say when she came late at night, Cangzi Meng could roughly guess nine times out of ten.

Yanran entered the door and said straight to the point: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"You also come to ask me, do you want the answer that the emperor and the mother want?"

Yanran nodded: "You know, the emperor has a deep affection for Niangniang, if you respond, at most, you can only let you live without worry about food and clothing in the future, and you won't get any of his thoughts." ”

Cangzimeng smiled bitterly: "If not, what will greet me, do you know?" ”

"What?"

Yan Ran pretended not to know.

"It will be the death of my father, it will be the edict that my close family's family will never be allowed to enter Nansheng, do you think I am willing?"

Just because Jiang Li's methods Cangzimeng knew it deeply, and Yan Ran also knew it, so Yan Ran was convinced of what she said.

"Niangniang said that you won't agree easily, and let me persuade you, it seems that you have made a choice."

Murong Lian wanted her to persuade Cangzimeng to agree, but what she said just now didn't make a match.

Cangzimeng replied tiredly: "The emperor's order, how can I have the right to refute it." said that I should choose, but I just wanted to give him a good-looking appearance, so that people would think that I was willing and cheap. ”

Yan Ran hurriedly covered her mouth: "Shh, don't talk nonsense, the wall has ears, and it will be broken if it is heard by others." ”

Yanran replied to Murong Lian, Murong Lian had just finished bathing, and the tips of her hair were still dripping with water.

"What did she say?"

"Hui Niangniang, she agreed."

Murong Lian's expression was very light, and she couldn't see her emotions.

"Dress Hongu."

Yan Ran took Murong Lian's clothes from the little palace maid, helped her put on her sleeves over and over again, and asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, why her?" ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"Luo Shushu has been in the palace for less than a month, and the emperor wants to choose a concubine, why should he choose her who is reluctant to be a concubine?"

Murong Lian snorted coldly and replied, "If you don't choose her, you can't be chosen?" ”

Yan Ran hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Niangniang atoned for her sins, the slave didn't mean that." ”

Murong Lian's phoenix eyes glanced at the frightened Yanran: "Get up." ”

"Thank you for forgiveness."

Yanran continued to dress Murong Lian, and after dressing, Murong Lian straightened her sleeves and said: "Choose her, since this palace and the emperor have chosen her, you have been with this palace for many years, this palace is reluctant to you, she can sacrifice her life to save this palace, she is more at ease than others." What's more, her appearance can play a big role. ”

"Luo Shushu's appearance is similar to which old friend of Niangniang?"

Murong Lian shook her head, walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, and Yanran picked up a wooden comb to arrange her hair.

"It's not an old friend, it's what this palace owes, an infatuated woman......"

The infatuated person understands the bitterness of infatuation, and the ruthless person knows the ruthless joy.

Yan Ran didn't seem to understand: "That's why Niangniang is so good to her?" ”

"No, everything this palace has done is just to stabilize its position in Nansheng, even if Luo Shushu is like her, it is not her, and this palace's debt to her will not be imposed on anyone to seek comfort. This palace has come to this point, and its hands are stained with blood, and so are you. ”

Yan Ran was stunned for a moment and did not refute.

In order to help Murong Lian consolidate her position, she didn't know how many lives she had killed.

Nightmares in the middle of the night often woke her up and kept her awake at night.

Her hands were stained with blood, and she didn't care how vicious her remarks were from the outside world, as long as she could make Murong Lian trust her wholeheartedly.

But why, so much effort is not worth a face?
