Chapter 103: We Are Family
The Shangyuan Festival banquet in the Marquis of Anjun's Mansion has begun.
There are many officials coming and going, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, spending a day of drinking and drinking, and eating and drinking until it is almost late.
At this time, the street lights outside were already on, plus the lights in front of the houses, and there were also lights in the water.
Because it is the Shangyuan Festival, the city gate is closed late, and the people in the city go to the moat to put river lanterns, and make wishes by the river.
Zhuang Siyan and the others were divided into two groups, and with the flow of people, they also walked out of the city with various lights in their hands.
Because Ling Tiancheng had already been caught, the guards at the city gate were not as strict as before, so this time they came out very smoothly.
As soon as the few people left the city, they immediately rushed to the junction point.
After the people gathered, they rode fast horses and left the border of Jincheng overnight.
But the whole of the south was under Anritsu's control, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest, and tried to disguise themselves as tourists during the day, and to go on the main thing as not to attract the attention of others, and at night they rode fast horses.
Three days later, the group of seven men left the southern border and entered the safe zone.
Slowing down the horse's speed, looking at the old southern greenery after the middle of winter, there was a sigh.
Ling Tiancheng looked at the little woman beside him, his chest was warm, but he couldn't help but nag her: "Didn't you say let you go first, why do you want to come back?" ”
Zhuang Siyan smiled: "I want to go with you!" ”
"Very dangerous, you know?"
"You know, but isn't it good now?"
Ling Tiancheng was dumbfounded, in front of the others, he couldn't hold Zhuang Siyan into his arms, he could only glare at her.
Zhuang Siyan sat on the horse's back, leaned towards him, and smoothly pulled his hand and said, "Don't be angry, okay?" Let's say it's a good family, how can a family leave the other half alone? ”
The words were simple and simple, but they could be heard in Ling Tiancheng's ears, but they were like thunder.
She still remembered what they had said, remembered that they were a family, so they risked their lives to come back to save him, and although the process was thrilling, they still succeeded.
Ling Tiancheng couldn't describe how he felt at this time, but he didn't care if anyone else was there, so he jumped from his horse, jumped behind Zhuang Siyan, and hugged her tightly into his arms.
The cold wind on the road blew the corners of the clothes, the ends of the hair, blew the faces of several rough men, and slowed down time.
The distant mountains are like daisies, the scenery is picturesque, they are like the most ordinary couples, leaning on each other, walking all the way.
At night, they found a place to live nearby, and when they sat together to rest and eat, Qinglin remembered Zhuang Siyan's makeup skills, and he was still full of praise.
"Madame's face-swapping technique is really magical, almost to the point of being fake."
Qing Ran said: "No, when she entered the cell, I didn't recognize her at all, I just thought she was Anli's person." ”
"Don't say it's you, even if we look at her change, we can't recognize it."
"Yes, there are a few of us who have been replaced, there is no flaw, it's amazing."
Some of them still have to learn from Zhuang Siyan and let her teach her two hands no matter what.
Zhuang Siyan was very generous, "haha" smiled and said: "Okay, we all go back to the capital, I will start a class to teach face swapping." ”
Ling Tiancheng grabbed her hand under the table, and said expressionlessly, "Without the exaggeration you said, I can recognize who she is at a glance." ”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
But the desire for face swapping is still the same, so they all move their eyes to Zhuang Siyan's face.
She still smiled, and said in a cheerful voice: "There are still not many people with such poisonous eyes as you, when you return to the capital, I will teach them some, and go out to do things in the future, and solve the problem without spending a single soldier, isn't it great?" ”
What he said was so magnificent, how selfless, even Ling Tiancheng couldn't say anything.
But the thought of my little woman, to get along with these men, and to smear their faces, is always uncomfortable.
That night, when he returned to the room, Ling Tiancheng brought up the matter again: "Why do you have to teach them this?" ”
Zhuang Siyan tilted his head to look at him and smiled, and Shaoqing said: "This time we went out, they also made a lot of efforts, especially to save you in the dungeon that Anli, although they didn't fight in the end, they all risked their lives."
And when we talked about saving you outside the city, none of them retreated, but they all went forward.
It is this friendship that is also worthy of our good repayment. ”
Ling Tiancheng nodded: "Indeed, but there are many ways to repay you, I just don't want to watch you work too hard." ”
Zhuang Siyan immediately shook his head: "I'm not hard, it's all very simple, just talk about them, you don't have to teach them by hand." ”
"Don't you have to do it by hand?"
"Of course, they will know after saying it, and then it is to practice more, which is similar to practicing martial arts, the master said the secrets, and the rest depends on the apprentice."
At this time, Ling Tiancheng finally relieved some of his heart, and sighed lightly: "It's good to have you by your side." ”
Zhuang Siyan was not polite at all: "You will find that it will get better and better in the future." ”
Seeing that Ling Tiancheng didn't insist anymore, and looked at her with a slight smile, Zhuang Siyan's courage also grew, and he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you transferred General Ye back to destroy the Anjia family this time, let me come with you, right?" ”
As soon as Ling Tiancheng heard this, he immediately wanted to blow up his hair, frowned and asked, "Why?" ”
Zhuang Siyan kissed him on the face first, and then said: "Because I came this time, I am already very familiar with Jincheng, and I also know a little about Anli."
Even if General Ye has any problems, I can help him solve them.
If the two of us come, we will definitely be able to eradicate Anritsu and return Jincheng to a bright sky. ”
She said it impassionedly, but Ling Tiancheng was shocked when she heard it.
She's just a woman, and no matter how big her plan is, she can't be used on the battlefield.
Ye Yuanpei came here with his troops to fight to the death with An Li, and at that time, it is likely that Jincheng will be full of blood, and Zhuang Cisco will be mixed in it, what if there is a mistake?
Even if Ye Yuanpei was able to protect her thoroughly, Ling Tiancheng's selfish heart still hoped that Zhuang Siyan could be by his side.
promised to let her investigate the case in the palace, and this is the purpose.
It's not that I expect her to really find out anything, but just to keep her by my side and let myself guard her safety.
Ling Tiancheng did not agree.
Zhuang Siyan leaned into his arms, pinched his nose for a while, scratched his armpits for a while, and tried his best to tease him.
Ling Tiancheng was so angry by her that he could only hold her down and say, "Let's wait for General Ye to reply." ”
Ye Yuanpei's letter, even if it was back, it would not be possible to send it on the way, so the group sped up and rushed to the capital.
A few days later, a group of men entered the capital.
Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan didn't rest in the city, and immediately put on makeup and entered the palace.
At this time, Wen Qing was drinking on the soft couch in the Xuan Palace, and Li Fu was standing next to him.
Both of them looked a little uncomfortable.
Li Fu naturally recognized who he was, in the past, when the old emperor was not dead, this was the crown prince who was going to pass on the throne! From time to time, he will appear in front of the old emperor.
Li Fu, as a veteran eunuch, has been serving the old emperor since he was there, and there are more opportunities to see him.
But later, I don't know why, as soon as the old emperor died, the prince disappeared, and he didn't even guard the national funeral, and the person disappeared out of thin air.
The next thing is a rush of princes to seize the emperor, although Ling Tiancheng did not take the lead, but his actions were fast enough, and he was ruthless, and he quickly found a foothold in Beijing and sat on the throne directly.
But not long after he became emperor, the former prince returned.
When Li Fu saw him for the first time in the Xuan Palace, he was so frightened that he almost squatted outside the door, completely unaware of whether he was a human or a ghost.
Wen Qing looked at him evilly and smiled, and said in a weird way: "When you don't see anything, so that we can all live well!" ”
Li Fu's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he was thinking about how to respond to his words.
Then I saw Ling Tiancheng come back.
Then an even more bizarre scene happened before his eyes.
The former crown prince and the current emperor sat down to drink and chat, and the two discussed how to govern the country together.
They are like brothers, oh no, they were originally brothers, but most of the other brothers were killed in this battle for the emperor, and only the two of them remained.
Li Fu couldn't figure out what was going on, but he knew how to keep his mouth shut.
Since ancient times, the eunuchs around the emperor, if they want to live, they should not be blind.
Li Fu has been in the palace for a long time, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say.
So he was on duty in the Xuan Palace that night, and when he saw Wen Qing go out at dawn, he told himself that he didn't see anything, only the emperor slept in the palace alone.
Although Wen Qing also came later, the number of times was less, and sometimes even Li Fu was not seen, but he slowly put this matter down.
The world is decided, what else can be done?
But this year, Ling Tiancheng gave him a problem.
first cut off his pretenses, and told him that he was going out for a while, and someone in the Xuan Palace would come to live, so that Li Fu would definitely serve him well.
When he heard this, he knew that things were not so simple, and it was not until he saw Wen Qing arrive that the uneasiness in his heart was confirmed.
The emperor left the palace and let the former prince come to live in the Xuan Palace.
This is an obvious thing, Li Fu can see it at once.
He spent almost every day in fear, not daring to provoke Wen Qing, nor daring to get too close.
Because I don't know how sure Ling Tiancheng is that he will come back.
If he comes back, then the throne will still be his, but if he doesn't come back, then the throne will undoubtedly be Wen Qing's.
There is also a big problem, this former prince now looks very evil, and Li Fu is always afraid that he will be a moth halfway.
What if he didn't wait for Ling Tiancheng to come back, and suddenly stood up directly and said that he was the real emperor?
Also, when Ling Tiancheng returns, what will he do?
Li Fu this year, it is not false to say that he is fried in an oil pot, he really pins his head to the waistband of his pants every day.
He also had to wait carefully for Wen Qing.
Wen Qing didn't talk much, he didn't go out in the Xuan Hall every day, except for drinking and reading, if any adult asked to see him, he would directly let Li Fu pass the word, and he would go to Luo Ke.
If any woman in the harem asks to see him, he will say the same, but after all, some people will not listen to persuasion and want to break inside, like Miao Guifei.
Wen Qing would pretend to be Ling Tiancheng's appearance, not seeing the front, through the screen, learning Ling Tiancheng's voice, and letting the other party go back.
