Jin Ran was so angry that she finally couldn't bear it anymore and rolled her eyes at Xiao Qingyan: "Since you have nothing to do with me, then I'll leave first." I still have something to do. ”

"Ah, don't go, Lord Jinrui." Xiao Qingyan didn't make a detour at all, he reached out and grabbed Jin Ran's arm, of course, Jin Ran immediately shook Xiao Qingyan away. Xiao Qingyan was not annoyed, he took out a purse from his arms with a smile: "Lord Jinrui, don't be so anxious." I'm here to return your things today. ”

Jin Ran said strangely: "What is it?" I don't have anything left with you, huh? "Jin Ran and Xiao Qingyan have only met about three times, how can something fall on Xiao Qingyan?

Xiao Qingyan smiled, he reached out to open the purse, and took out the contents - it was a peony-style earring inlaid with red gemstones. The small earrings seem to have been kept by Xiao Qingyan very well, and there is not a single scratch on the facet of the gemstone, and the texture of the ruby and gold is shining.

"Ah, this is the earring I lost earlier!" Jin Ran reflexively touched her earlobe, she looked at Xiao Qingyan in surprise: "Why are my earrings in you?" Jin Ran remembers this pair of earrings very clearly, this is what she wore at the palace banquet, it was her mother Zhang's dowry that year, after Jinran's first ear piercing, Zhang gave it to her, it can be said that Jin Ran has the first pair of earrings. But after Jin Ran participated in the palace banquet, there was only one earring left, and Jin Ran was sad for a long time afterwards, although Zhang gave her the same earrings one by one, Jin Ran still felt a little pity.

Xiao Qingyan handed the earring to Jin Ran: "I saw this earring after the palace banquet reminded you, and I put it away, I estimated that it was yours, and I always wanted to find a chance to return the earrings to you, but I always forgot to bring it with me. ”

Jin Ran heard Xiao Qingyan talk about the last palace banquet, she thought that Xiao Qingyan had also saved herself, and it seemed a little unreasonable for her to guard him like this. She touched her nose embarrassedly, reached out and took the cherished earring, she put the earring away, and simply saluted Xiao Qingyan: "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for helping me put this earring away, this earring was given to me by my mother, and it means a lot to me." ”

Xiao Qingyan smiled, he was about to speak, but there was a sudden screeching sound of weapons connecting in the front yard, mixed with a few screams and angry scolding, Jin Ran was shocked, not good, the emperor is still in the Sheng Mansion! Almost instantly, all sounds were gone, but there was a fire in the front yard where the sound had just been heard. The flames are monstrous, and it is very scary to watch.

Jin Ran's face turned white almost instantly, where are Fang Tianji, her parents, brothers-in-law, friends and relatives almost all there! Jin Ran couldn't take care of Xiao Qingyan standing in front of her at this moment, she didn't even look at Xiao Qingyan, and ran towards the position in the front yard.

Where did Xiao Qingyan think that Jin Ran was a master who acted without saying a word? By the time he reacted, Jin Ran was already a long distance away from him. "Lord Jinrui, come back quickly! Where the danger is very much! Xiao Qingyan was very anxious, he shouted again and again to chase in the direction of Jinran's run, this Jinrui County Lord wanted to go to the front yard at a glance, but now the situation in the front yard is not clear, how can he just let her go? If there is any danger in the front yard, she is such a weak woman, it is obvious that she is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!

But Jin Ran acted as if he hadn't heard it, leaving only Xiao Qingyan with a resolute back.

By the time Jin Ran arrived at the front yard where the banquet was held, it was no longer as beautiful and tidy as it was in the morning. Zhang's carefully designed flowers for a month are staggering, and even a few pots of flowers and plants bought from the Western Regions have fallen together with potted flowers, and the blue tiles on the ground are originally brilliant, and people can even clearly see their own figures when they walk on them, but now they are trampled on mud footprints everywhere, and Jin Ran is frightened and walks inside. She had just walked into the hall, but she saw a scene that made her heart rend-

Her friend Princess Ming'an is being grabbed by the hair by the fourth prince and thrown up the steps!

"Stop!" Jin Ran didn't care about any exposure at this time, she hurriedly shouted to attract the attention of the fourth prince: "Fourth prince, do you know what you are doing?" That's your sister, how can you treat Princess Ming'an like this? ”

The fourth prince's hand stopped for a moment because of Jinran's shouting, he snorted coldly and inexplicably, and threw Princess Ming'an, who was close to being unconscious, on the steps, with a bit of disdain and indifference in his tone: "Heh, everyone in this palace wants to run out, but you are the only one who ran in from outside, Lord Jinrui, you are really bold enough!" ”

Zhang's was originally protected by Jinran's father, Sheng Ning, and she originally thought that her daughter was still changing clothes in her courtyard, so she was not very worried. There are a lot of guards in Jinran's courtyard, as well as two poisonous little girls sent by Jinran's master, Baihua Liuxian, so Zhang is not very worried about Jinran's comfort, but he didn't expect Jinran to come in by himself, although he knew that Jinran might have come in because he was worried about their safety, Zhang's was still angry and regretful, and her eyes were split: "Jinran, you go quickly!"

Jin Ran had no time to deal with Zhang's at this time, and after she nodded lightly to Zhang's to comfort her, she quickly helped up the unconscious Princess Ming'an, she opened Princess Ming'an's eyelids and looked at it carefully, fortunately, it was just an ordinary coma, and there was nothing serious. Jin Ran's heartbeat was about to stop the moment he saw the four princes throw Princess Ming'an to the ground, for fear that Princess Ming'an would ask the four princes to fall out. She laid Princess Ming'an flat, while she sat down on her knees, so that Princess Ming'an could rest on her lap.

After doing all this, Jin Ran still had the time to look around the room quietly and see the situation inside. Now there are countless guards in black armor in the hall, and at first glance they were brought by the four princes, and the guards arranged by the emperor and the Sheng Mansion somehow fell to the ground, Jin Ran's heart tightened, as the protagonist of today, she naturally knew how many guards the Sheng family sent, but now they all fell, and none of them survived.

And the only entrance, which is the entrance that Jin Ran just ran into, was also guarded from the inside by a few big men brought by the four princes, where Jin Ran and Princess Ming'an were located was near this door, and the four princes were holding a long sword, and the tip of the sword was facing Jin Ran and Princess Ming'an.

The rest of the people were on the other side of the hall, Jin Ran's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were also standing there, Jin Ran swept through the crowd, and saw Fang Tianji standing at the front of the crowd with a bow and arrow in his hand, she glanced up and down Fang Tianji, he didn't seem to be injured, Jin Ran really put her mind at ease at this time, she quietly exchanged a look with Fang Tianji, and decided to wait and see what happened.

The emperor was standing in the center of the hall, he was extremely angry at the moment, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally shouted angrily: "Rebel! Hugh is going to hurt your sister and the Lord of Jinrui! You dare to rebel, what are you thinking, you dare to do such a rebellious thing! ”

The fourth prince didn't look indifferent, he pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, and said with a smile: "Rebel? Hmph, in your eyes, I've been a rebel for a long time, right? Since I've not been a good thing for a long time, isn't it the same now? ”

"Brute!" The emperor made the fourth prince tremble with anger, and he took a step closer to this side: "If you release Ming'an and Jinrui County Lord back now, I will investigate your guilt a little less." Brutes, brutes! I ask myself if I am not thin on you, even if you make many mistakes, I always do not hold you accountable, why did you do such a thing today? ”

"Not holding me accountable?" The fourth prince was so angry that his hands trembled a few times, and the tip of his sword shook, almost scratching Princess Ming'an's face, Jin Ran hurriedly hugged Princess Ming'an and took a few steps back, wanting to stay away from the emotionally unstable fourth prince. But the afterglow of the fourth prince was staring at this side, and he fiercely held a sword and threatened Jinran and said, "You, Sheng Jinran!" Don't move, if you dare to move, I'll chop off your fingers!" ”

Jin Ran was frightened, and she didn't move anymore.

Seeing that she didn't make too many moves, the fourth prince turned around and continued to confront the emperor: "You said you don't hold me accountable?" How do you have the face to say such a thing? ”

The emperor was so angry that his chest couldn't stop shaking, he seemed to be extremely angry, but he forcibly suppressed himself, he took a deep breath and tried to reason with the four princes: "Emperor, you can tell me slowly what you want, but don't harm others!" ”

"What do you want, I want the throne! I want to be the emperor! The fourth prince was already close to the mad demon, and he shouted while pointing his sword at the emperor: "Why do you not say a word about the five princes intersecting with the ministers like this, and you move me out of the ministry when it is my turn?" is also a prince, why can't I do what this emperor does? In terms of age, I am the elder, and it is most logical to inherit the throne! On the concubine, I am also a serious concubine of the queen, how many streets does not throw off the five princes? It stands to reason that I am the prince who deserves to inherit the throne the most! ”

"Inherit the throne? Are you still thinking about inheriting the throne? The emperor was also annoyed, he was not a good-tempered person, but at this time, he was provoked by a few words from the fourth prince and roared angrily: "If you want to inherit the throne, take a look at yourself first, how many books have you read through the four books and five classics?" Your imperial brother was the first to go to the study room every day to study, and a copy of the Analects was turned over. At the age of fifteen, he handled a big case on his first errand. But what about you? You entered the court a year earlier than your imperial brother, but you have never been to the ministry a few times! How can you let me trust the country to you? Will I hand over the country to you and let you lose this ancestral inheritance? ”

The emperor said as he approached the four princes a few steps closer. As he walked towards the four princes, he said with a bit of coaxing in his tone: "You put Ming'an and the county lord of Jinrui back, what is there I promised you, aren't you just dissatisfied with me for moving you out of the ministry?" In the future, you can go to whichever ministry you want to go to! "It seems that by accident, the emperor did not mention the throne at all.

The emperor is also very shrewd, he doesn't want to leave a trace of words at this moment, his heart is after all willing to let the five princes inherit the throne, and he said such things at this moment, saying that he agreed to all the requirements of the four princes, but in fact, it was just a delaying tactic.

"You...... Don't come here! Hurry up and give me back! The fourth prince roared angrily with his sword, and he stretched out his hand to grab it from Jinran: "Sheng Jinran, you get out of the way for me!" He roared while trying to take Princess Ming'an in his arms, he was a little worried at the moment, and he wanted to take someone as a hostage in his arms.

Jin Ran didn't let him get his wish, now Ming An has fainted, if he let the four princes grab it, it will hurt even more, Jin Ran doesn't dare to take this risk. She slowly put Princess Ming'an on the ground, stood up by herself, she took a step towards the side of the fourth prince, her tone was serious, but it still made Fang Tianji tremble a little: "Fourth prince, if you want to arrest whoever you want, arrest me, don't move Ming'an anymore." ”
