Chapter 13: Darkness Chencang

In recent days, the weather has warmed up, although it has not yet come out of the cold winter, but there is no need to wear thick clothes and coats when going out, and always guard against the invasion of the wind.

"The son asks the concubine to say goodbye."

In the Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian sat on top of the first place, and after being bowed by these two young juniors, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Hurry up and excuse me." ”

With Xue'er's hand in her hand, Concubine Xian stood up, walked slowly to Lan Qianzhu, and looked at it carefully for a while, "Well, what a handsome girl." ”

"After coming to Cloud City these days, are you still used to it?"

"Back... Back to the mother's concubine, I am still used to it. ”

Lan Qianzhu's expression was a little unnatural, and he said softly.

She lost her mother since she was a child, and it was the first time she called someone else's mother when she was so old, and she was inevitably a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, Concubine Xian just glanced at her lightly, and did not say much on this, "You married into Dayun, although you came to reconcile the two countries, but no matter what, you are also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and I will not treat you badly in the future." ”

"As for Lan'er, he has a gentle temperament and has always been lenient to others, and he will definitely not treat you harshly in the future."

As she spoke, Concubine Xian looked at her son on the side and gestured to him.

But Yun Lan didn't seem to understand what her mother meant, and she didn't react at all, making Concubine Xian roll her eyes angrily.

"Alright, don't stand, sit down."

After sitting down, Concubine Xian chatted with Lan Qianzhu again about some common words, and from time to time there was some hint of "having children", but she was either interrupted by Yun Lan's words, or Lan Qianzhu's face was crimson and she refused to answer, which made Concubine Xian also have nowhere to go, and she felt helpless.

However, in general, Concubine Xian and Lan Qianzhu met for the first time, but they got along very well, and they chatted until noon for a while.

West, Qingguan City.

Qingguan is located at the border of Yunliang and Liang, the geographical location is extremely special, and it is an important military town in the west of Yunguo. In the past 100 years, the two countries of Yunliang have fought dozens of times, large and small, and almost every time the battlefield is near Qingguan.

In Qingguan City and within a radius of 100 miles, 70,000 elites led by Yun Lan were stationed to consolidate the entire western defense line.

In the east of Qingguan City, a wide mansion occupies the whole street, and on the plaque in front of the mansion, the word "Lin Mansion" is written in upright seal style.

In the west courtyard of Fuzhong, a man dressed in a military uniform and looking to be in his thirties walked out of a low room, holding something in his hand, looking slightly flustered.

"General, a letter from the capital!"

In the study, an eight-foot-tall middle-aged man with a beard was carefully studying the map, when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by this panicked voice, and an impatient expression appeared on his face.

"It's not once or twice that the letter from the capital has come, you are so flustered, what kind of system have you become?!"

After a few words of reprimand, the middle-aged man took the note and took a cursory look at what was written, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper.

"This matter... It's been revealed so soon..."

The middle-aged man clutched the note in his hand and muttered in a low voice.

"Now that Your Highness knows about this, you will probably soon track it down to our Chifeng camp, so then... What should I do? ”

The man who reported the news was obviously out of ideas, and the anxiety in his tone was obvious.

"What are you afraid of," the middle-aged man glared, "In the final analysis, everything we do is for the victory of the Battle of Qingguan." ”

"If you don't use some extreme measures, how can the remaining nearly 100,000 Liang troops easily retreat? At that time, I am afraid that the death will not be as simple as that little capture, but that more innocent people will lose their lives among the officers and men of our royal army! ”

"Which is more important than the other?"

"That being said... But..."The man who reported the news shook his head, they all understood the reason, but it was a crime to hide such a thing as killing a prisoner privately from the boss, no matter which country it went to, not to mention that some of the inside information could not be known, otherwise...

"Don't worry, if His Highness really tracks it down in the future, I will bear it alone."

In recent days, many monks from all over the country have gathered to various parts of Miyagi, and there are those who set up altars and practice meditation, and there are also those who sit and chant sutras. It is said that the emperor issued an order for them to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters for the fourteen princes.

In the middle palace side hall, the queen was playing with a Ruyi, and after hearing the reason for this incident, her face was extremely ugly, and she threw Ruyi in her hand hard, and instantly fell to pieces.

"What exorcism?! What calamity can the emperor have? ”

"Okay, now Qin Tianjian also dares to go against this palace, they have eaten the gall of a leopard!"

The queen was furious, and everyone was silent, only her personal maid stepped forward and hurriedly comforted: "Niangniang is angry, didn't Your Majesty completely listen to the rumors of Qin Tianjian?" Just recruited a few monks and set up an altar to chant the scriptures, and it was okay to think about it. ”

"Qin Tianjian wants His Majesty to establish the East Palace a few years later, what does this Shen Gu mean?!" The queen was so angry that she clenched her teeth, if Shen Gu was in front of her at the moment, she couldn't wait to go up and give him two slaps.

While the middle palace was angry about this incident, King Jin was in a very good mood.

"My father has ordered so many monks to be recruited, it seems that he still believes Shen Gu's words more or less in his heart." King Jin sat down at the tea table, raised his teacup and took a sip of it, and said with a smile.

"It's not all thanks to His Highness's intelligence that he can come up with such a trick to deal with the Middle Palace." Bai Wanning stepped forward, smiled Yingying, and added some more water to the cup of King Jin, "It's a pity that my father didn't follow Shen Gu's advice, otherwise His Highness would have greater benefits." ”

"I didn't expect my father to do what Shen Gu said." King Jin shook his head, but there was no disappointment on his face, "Father doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he has always been respectful of things in the dark. If it weren't for the prince's relationship this time, I'd rather believe it or not, I'm afraid my father wouldn't even invite these monks. ”

"But now it seems that my father has doubts in his heart, and this is enough for us."

"Then the concubine is here to congratulate Your Highness." Bai Wanning smiled, took the initiative to sit beside King Jin, poured a cup of tea for herself, and raised her glass to her husband.

"Hahaha..."After drinking the tea, King Jin looked at the beauties around him, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said: "Recently, rumors have been rising in Beijing, all about your younger brother." ”

"I also heard that some time ago, he actually killed someone in the street," thinking of this, a touch of anger appeared on King Jin's face, "Although it was night at that time, almost no one saw it, but this kind of thing has a very bad impact, especially at the foot of the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven." ”

"You find a time to persuade your younger brother to stop doing these things, otherwise once it is exposed and his father knows, even I won't be able to protect him at that time!"

Hearing the anger in King Jin's words, a trace of nervousness flashed on Bai Wanning's delicate face, "Your Highness, don't worry, when I return to the house tomorrow, I will definitely let my father strictly discipline me, and there will never be such a thing in the future." ”
