Chapter 228: Empress An Ruo's cousin
"Not worthy of the surname Luo?" Gu Xiaoran didn't have any special reaction when she heard King Duan's words, but replied indifferently: "Brother King Duan, I've heard you say this countless times. ”
"You ......"
Just when King Duan was about to refute, the emperor at the top shouted: "Okay, don't say it again!" ”
"But Father, he is still so arrogant......
Seeing that the emperor's face was becoming more and more difficult to look at, Empress Zhou immediately shouted: "Haoyu! At the same time, he gave King Duan a look, and the eyes sternly stopped him from continuing, and King Duan reluctantly closed his mouth.
The emperor looked at the slightly thin body standing there, and his heart was also mixed, Luo Mingxuan was the child he had always valued, and his excellence and excellence were remembered in his eyes and in his heart.
Looking at Luo Mingxuan, who is growing up day by day, the emperor often tells An Ruo his joy in his heart, and he is also sad for Luo Mingxuan's indifference to him.
However, he never thought about it......
The emperor's eyes were suddenly full of tyranny, and Gu Xiaoran's heart suddenly burst out, but he knew that he couldn't show the slightest hint at this time, otherwise it would deepen the doubts in the emperor's heart.
As if he couldn't suppress it, Gu Xiaoran coughed, coughing and holding his chest for breath.
In the face of Gu Xiaoran's "performance", King Duan and Queen Zhou were overjoyed, and they wished that he would cough to death directly, King Rong's young face had no expression on it, and the emperor slowly restrained his original angry breath.
Just when Gu Xiaoran almost coughed himself to death, the emperor slowly opened his mouth and said, "Come on, take King Jing to the side hall." ”
"Father! You can't ......."
King Duan saw that at this time, the emperor was still protecting Luo Mingxuan, and he was so anxious that he almost jumped up, but he was affected by the ungood injuries on his body, and he almost shrank into a ball of pain, and he couldn't say any more.
The emperor ignored King Duan, and just watched Luo Mingxuan's departing figure.
Gu Xiaoran followed the inner servant to the side hall, but his heart did not relax, but he raised his spirit and waited for the next development of things.
When I entered the side hall, I pushed the door and saw that there was already a person inside, and it was a woman!
Gu Xiaoran was slightly shocked in her heart, and immediately stopped, and her eyes swept coldly to the attendant on the side, "The emperor's order, you dare to make a mistake?" ”
The chamberlain was taken aback, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed again and again: "Lord Jing spares his life, the slave did not mistake the emperor's will, it is indeed the emperor who ordered the slave to bring King Jing here." ”
Gu Xiaoran frowned slightly, it was the emperor who asked him to come here, so who is that woman in the room?
With a gentle wave of his hand to let the chamberlain retreat, Gu Xiaoran walked towards the room.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the room, the door was immediately closed from the outside, and Gu Xiaoran's footsteps were stunned, but soon he continued to walk in as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't see the woman in the room, and found a place to sit down.
"Xuan'er ......"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoran raised his eyes suddenly, the title Xuan'er was rarely used, and there were even fewer women who could call Luo Mingxuan like this, who was calling him so at this time?
I saw that the woman who was originally facing away from him had turned around and looked at him with eager eyes.
With just this glance, Gu Xiaoran immediately knew who was in front of her, and her face similar to the portrait of Empress An Ruo fully explained that the woman in front of Gu Xiaoran was Concubine Lan!
However, on the surface, Luo Mingxuan had never seen this Lan concubine, so Gu Xiaoran had to pretend not to know her.
Frowning, Gu Xiaoran said indifferently: "Who are you who dare to call this king like this?" ”
The woman looked at Gu Xiaoran, lightly opened her lips and said, "I'm Yilan, An Yilan." ”
"It turned out to be Concubine Lan."
Gu Xiaoran spoke extremely indifferently, but there were already waves in his heart, he and Luo Mingxuan knew that the emperor's new favorite was called Yilan, and there were many similarities with Empress An Ruo's appearance, and she was given the title of Lan Concubine, but she didn't know that she actually had the same surname as Empress An Ruo!
According to Luo Mingxuan, the shadow of his subordinates has already controlled this Lan concubine, so she will cry to the emperor and complain that King Duan has a covetous heart for her, although such a thing happens, the general way to deal with it is to kill the woman to hide people's eyes, but this Lan concubine has such a ability, so that the emperor is reluctant to move her at all.
As a result, Duanwang was almost beaten to death by the emperor, but his love for her not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became more and more favored!
What is she here for?
Gu Xiaoran's heart was full of thoughts, but she didn't show a trace on her face, she just got up and walked out.
"Xuan'er, where are you going?"
Gu Xiaoran didn't look back, but just said: "Since Concubine Lan is resting here, this king will change places." In addition, although Concubine Lan is the emperor's favorite concubine, don't call this king like that anymore. ”
The indifferent tone turned her back to Lan Concubine's figure, but Lan Concubine heard a killing intent from it.
Biting her lower lip gently, looking at the figure of Gu Xiaoran who was about to walk out, Lan Concubine was open, ignoring the killing intent that made her heart tremble, and shouted: "Xuan'er, I am sisters with your queen mother, Queen Anruo!" ”
Gu Xiaoran turned around suddenly, stared at Lan Concubine with deep and cold eyes, and said slowly word by word: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Xuan'er...... Yes! ”
Before Lan Concubine finished speaking, she was frightened by Gu Xiaoran's sudden swing and hit the palm wind on the table not far from her, looking at the fierce Gu Xiaoran, Lan Concubine didn't know how to continue with her words.
Gu Xiaoran didn't know what this Lan Concubine was doing, he only knew that Empress An Ruo was the only daughter in the family, where did she come from!
What's more, Empress An Ruo has been dead for a long time, and even if she is alive, she is old enough to be the mother of this Lan Concubine, how can she be Lan Concubine's sister?
In terms of Luo Mingxuan's character, as long as it involves Empress An Ruo and Prince Luo Tianyang, he can do anything, so he immediately slammed a palm on a teacup on the table next to Concubine Lan.
Lan Concubine was stunned, but the teacup beside her shattered with a "click" at this time, and the warm tea inside flowed on the table, and then dripped to the ground.
The sound of "ticking and ticking" was unusually loud in this quiet room.
Suddenly, the shadow of the guards walking outside the room was reflected on the door, and when Lan Concubine saw this shadow, she slowly fell to the ground as if she had just woken up from a dream, and tears poured down her cheeks.
"Queen An Ruo is indeed my sister, although I didn't have the chance to meet Sister An Ruo, but my mother grew up with Sister An Ruo since she was a child!"
Gu Xiaoran just looked at Lan Concubine who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and didn't say a word, he needed to understand what the emperor meant from Lan Concubine, it was the emperor who asked him to come to this room, so the emperor must have heard Lan Concubine's words.
In Lan Concubine's intermittent crying, Gu Xiaoran gradually understood what Lan Concubine wanted to say.
According to Concubine Lan, she and Queen An Ruo are not sisters but distant relatives, and her mother-in-law used to live in Anfu, so she is very clear about what happened before Queen An Ruo married into the palace.
And because Concubine Lan gradually grew up with a similar appearance to Queen An Ruo, she could always hear about Queen An Ruo from the mouths of her family.
There is nothing to pay attention to, whether this Lan Concubine is the sister of Queen An Ruo or not, it doesn't matter, it's just that Lan Concubine broke out this matter at this time, there must be her intentions!
And even if the emperor knew that Concubine Lan was Queen Anruo's sister, he shouldn't have brought him to Concubine Lan without saying anything, right? And the momentum when the emperor saw him was not right at all.
Slowly, Gu Xiaoran opened his mouth and said: "Have you finished what Concubine Lan wants to say, then I will not accompany the king." ”
Turning around, Gu Xiaoran was about to leave without hesitation.
His move made Concubine Lan a little confused, and when he heard the things and people that were closely related to Queen An Ruo, shouldn't he ask carefully, how could he turn around and leave?
Concubine Lan was in a hurry to take measures and shouted, "Doesn't Prince Jing want to know something about Empress An Ruo?" ”
After Gu Xiaoran's palm just now, Lan Concubine no longer dared to use the title "Xuan'er".
It's just that Gu Xiaoran still didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to turn back, and Lan Concubine hurriedly shouted again: "It's about Empress An Ruo and Cousin Hui." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoran's footsteps paused slightly, Luo Mingxuan in order to investigate the true identity of Chen Minghui, the owner of Fengyu Mansion, had a detailed investigation of the people around Empress An Ruo, Queen An Ruo did have a cousin Hui who grew up with her childhood sweetheart-Lin Xiaohui.
Lin Xiaohui and Chen Minghui both have a Hui character in their names, and Chen Minghui once shouted the word "Ruoruo" in a state of madness, which naturally attracted Luo Mingxuan's attention, focusing on investigating this Lin Xiaohui.
But this Lin Xiaohui disappeared when Empress An Ruo married into the palace, and when Empress An Ruo sat on the throne of the queen, the news of Lin Xiaohui's death came.
In order to find out the truth of Lin Xiaohui's death, Luo Mingxuan also sent someone to work hard, but whether it was from Lin Xiaohui's family or his friends, what he got was the same content, this Lin Xiaohui was indeed dead.
Naturally, with Luo Mingxuan's meticulous mind, he would not be so gullible, and continued to investigate, and finally found conclusive evidence to prove the authenticity of Lin Xiaohui's death.
An enemy of Lin Xiaohui, he watched Lin Xiaohui die with his own eyes, and watched him be burned to a handful of ashes!
At this time, what was the purpose of this Lan Concubine mentioning Lin Xiaohui again?
When Concubine Lan saw Gu Xiaoran's footsteps pause, she immediately knew that the opportunity had come, so she immediately stood up and said to Gu Xiaoran: "Before talking about this matter, I want to ask Lord Jing to see someone first. ”
With two high-fives from Lan Concubine, a person walked out of the room.
At first glance, Gu Xiaoran's eyes immediately widened, how could it be......
