Chapter 599: Take it lightly
On Han Xun's side, seeing that Luo Qingluan's three-day deadline was only the last day, he hadn't noticed any movement from her. I couldn't help but start worrying if this was Luo Qingluan's plan to delay the army, just to let herself wait for three more days in vain, so that she could find reinforcements.
wanted to relax, but was afraid that there would be fraud in it, so Luo Qingluan stole the muscle-growing blood vine, and when the time came, he not only lost a support, but also disgraced himself.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Han Xun ordered someone to put the lamp in his hand, and locked himself in the room alone with the muscle-nourishing blood vine. The outside of the house was full of guards arranged by Lin Chuan, and without his order, no one would want to enter Luofeng Residence.
"After tonight, I want to see how you get your big words back!" Han Xun muttered to himself with a smug face.
After another cup of tea, there was still no movement, Han Xun sat in the room and asked Lin Chuan, who was standing at the door, boredly: "What time is it?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's just past the hour, and it's time in two hours." Lin Chuan was very nervous at this time, for fear that he would make a mistake and be exploited by Luo Qingluan.
Knowing that something must happen tonight, but not knowing when this thing was, this feeling of hoping that it would come sooner and being afraid that it would come off guard made Han Xun feel very tormented.
Just as he was relaxing a little, suddenly the guards outside began to shout and have a stomachache, and left their posts one after another, and left nearly half of them in a short time.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Chuan knew that this must be from Luo Qingluan's handwriting. Lin Chuan knocked on the door and reported the situation to Han Xun softly: "Your Majesty, it seems that Princess Chu is about to make a move." ”
Han Xun's heart suddenly tightened, and he shouted: "Okay, you Luo Qingluan, you said that you came to steal it when you were a child, but you did it two hours in advance, it's really hateful." ”
Helplessly, Luo Qingluan has never acted according to ordinary people's thinking, and he has to improvise and see the move. frowned, and then said to Lin Chuan: "A group of wine bags and rice bags, staying here will not play a role, leave a few people with better martial arts, let them retreat for the rest." ”
Although he was dissatisfied with Han Xun's reprimand, Lin Chuan still quickly conveyed his instructions, and he kept guarding the door with his promises, not daring to leave half a step easily.
But for half an hour, Lin Chuan's heart had not been put down, and he heard the shouts of walking water in the distance. As the voice looked, I saw that half of the sky above the Song Mansion was shrouded in firelight, and the fire area was very vast.
"What's going on out there?" Han Xun asked impatiently.
Lin Chuan had to tell the truth and told him that there was a fire in the house. However, for the fire at this time, Lin Chuan felt that it must be inseparable from Luo Qingluan. "Your Majesty, walking in the water at this time must be related to Princess Chu. Do you want a minion to check on the situation? ”
Looking at the firelight in the sky, Han Xun snorted indifferently: "In a woman's opinion, she will never be able to get on the stage, and it is ridiculous to want to disrupt our defense if you set it on fire." Isn't it just a house, just let her burn it. ”
Lin Chuan next to him panicked, this house is expensive, if it is burned down like this, it will definitely be a lot of money to rebuild it at that time. This money is all the second prince's own, and if the time comes, if the army is really raised, there will be more places to use the money, and he will not dare to block the second prince again.
In order to give Lin Xiaochen an explanation, Lin Chuan secretly ordered the two guards to go over and have a look, while he was still guarding the door.
Little by little, nothing happened except for the fire.
The calmer he was, the more Han Xun felt highly nervous, although he kept saying that Luo Qingluan was beyond his strength. But she always couldn't help thinking about what she would do next, and an unknown fear enveloped her.
After the fire was extinguished, the guard came back and told Lin Chuan that the fire was deliberately lit by someone pouring fire oil at the door of the firewood room, but fortunately, it was found in time and did not cause any great damage.
"Your Majesty is wise, this fire is really deliberately done by someone." Lin Chuan hurriedly told Han Xun the result of the guard's notification.
Han Xun disagreed: "The carving insect skill is also worth your fuss, she just wants to turn the tiger away from the mountain." ”
Just when he thought that Luo Qingluan would not move again for the time being, a string of firecrackers suddenly fell from the roof, almost hitting his head.
Han Xun was so frightened that he jumped up instantly, and when he saw what it was, his face suddenly turned pale: "Okay, you Luo Qingluan, you dare to do such a trick." ”
There was already a commotion outside, and there was a lot of noise, shouting that there were assassins. Lin Chuan immediately asked people to chase after him, and he must take it, but who knew that the other party seemed to be here to throw firecrackers, and he didn't contact them at all, and retreated directly. The guards chased after them for a long time but did not catch up, and found no other assassins, so they could only return in a huff.
After Luo Qingluan's repeated troubles, Han Xun was extremely nervous, and he was even more energetic, ready to meet her next action at any time.
But it backfired, until the ugly time passed, everyone stubbornly resisted the invasion of fatigue, and forced themselves to guard against someone stealing things, but Luo Qingluan never made any moves.
After a long time, the subordinate outside the door sent another letter, saying that the other party named Lin Chuan and asked him to pass it on to his master.
Before Lin Chuan could take the letter, Han Xun opened the door and walked out, snatching the letter from the hands of his subordinates and opening it.
"Tonight's hour has passed, and I haven't been able to steal the muscle-growing blood vine, and we'll see you another day. However, he can play tricks on the dignified North Yue Emperor, although he is defeated, he is still glorious. ”
In just a few words, it was full of ridicule of herself, which made Han Xun happy and angry with her. The good thing is that he finally let Luo Qingluan admit defeat to himself, and the angry thing is that even so, she still has to play tricks on herself.
Even though Luo Qingluan said that she would not come back tonight, Han Xun still didn't dare to let down her vigilance, for fear that she was playing some conspiracy again.
It wasn't until the sky turned white and there was nothing abnormal that Han Xun believed that tonight should be considered safe. I couldn't stand the sleepiness, so I hid the brocade box with medicinal herbs in the dark compartment of the wall, and was ready to rest.
Unexpectedly, not long after Han Xun fell asleep, Lin Chuan's shout came from outside the door: "Someone is coming, hurry up and catch him." ”
Hearing the shout, Han Xun suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, and said secretly: "Oops." He hurriedly opened the secret compartment to see that the box was indeed gone.
Knowing that Luo Qingluan's way was caught again, Han Xun was very annoyed in his heart. Only then did she realize that what she said was just to lower her vigilance and set a trap for herself, but she believed it to be true, and the result gave her an opportunity.
"Damn!" Han Xun angrily punched the wall.
……
In the same way, in order to grow muscles and nourish blood vines, there is also Su Yi, the queen in the palace of Western Chu.
Since Nangong Qing was injured and poisoned, she took care of Nangong Qing while dragging her bulky body, which was five months pregnant. On the one hand, he also had to comfort the Queen Mother, who was getting thinner and thinner because she was worried about Nangong Qing.
Su Yi would hold her stomach every day and sit on the soft couch opposite Nangong Qing's bed to chat with him. It was because he was afraid that he would be in bed all day long and depressed, so Su Yi asked the eunuchs to carry the soft couch to Nangong Qing's dragon couch to accompany him.
"Your Majesty, he is very happy today, he is always moving around in the belly of his concubines. If it is a man, when he grows up, he will follow His Majesty to ride horses and shoot arrows. If it were a daughter, I would teach her daughter's needlework, embroidery and stitches. ”
In the past few days, Nangong Qing's condition is getting worse day by day, and he could barely take a walk in the imperial garden, but now he can only lie quietly in the room, and once he moves a little harder, he will immediately cough unstoppable.
The medicine she took began to increase day by day, but her condition did not ease in the slightest, which made Su Yi look very anxious.
Although her body was uncomfortable, Nangong Qing didn't want Su Yi to worry too much about herself, after all, she was still pregnant with her own child in her womb. He frowned faintly, pretended to smile lightly, and said, "The child is only so old, so he won't let his mother save trouble, this is hard for you." ”
As he spoke, he took Su Yi's hand distressedly, put it to his mouth and kissed it, and said gently, "I have recently given the child a few names, and I want you to hear it." If it is a daughter, it is called Changning, An Ning or Princess Anping. If it's a son, then it's called Jinhong or Boyu......"
"No, don't listen to it now, the concubine is only a shallow learner, and when the time comes, the emperor will personally choose one for him" Su Yi didn't like to hear Nangong Qing say anything frustrating, so she pretended to be unhappy and rejected Nangong Qing's proposal.
"This is all because I have been idle recently, and I think that the princess takes the word tranquility, hoping that her life will be safe. As for the prince, he should be more vigorous, so as not to look girly. ”
The more she continued to talk, the more uncomfortable Su Yi's heart became. Seeing that he began to wheez, in order to make him feel relieved, Su Yi held back the tears in his eyes and said softly, "It doesn't matter what their name is, as long as they can grow up healthy and happy." ”
At this time, the maidservant brought a bowl of soup and medicine, Su Yi hurriedly took it in person, brought it to Nangong Qing, and comforted her softly, "This is the prescription left by Princess Chu when she left, saying that it is to cooperate with the acupuncture method she taught the imperial doctor, and she will definitely be able to wait until she finds the medicine primer, you can drink it while it is hot." ”
With Su Yi's hand, Nangong Qing drank a large bowl full of bitter decoction, but he did not complain that the decoction was unpalatable. However, every time he drank the medicine, Su Yi would still feed him a candied fruit herself.
"Princess Chu has not heard from her for so long, and she doesn't know what happened, which is really worrying." Nangong Qing sighed and frowned. Recently, in the middle of the night, his chest began to hurt unbearably, but in order not to worry Su Yi and the Queen Mother, he endured it all the time.
Seeing that Nangong Qing's mood was a little low, Su Yi hurriedly comforted: "Qingluan is smart and witty, and he will definitely be able to save the day." Your Majesty, don't think too much, the dragon body matters. ”
"I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do this injury......"
