Near dusk, someone from the Tai Hospital came, and after carefully checking the pulse of the emperor, he reported it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother sent Concubine Ling and a few palace people to serve him, and gave him the third soup 'medicine', so that I could go back to Weiyang Palace to rest for the time being. There are 'attendants' guarding at the 'gate' of Weiyang Palace, completely isolating me from the outside world.

I calculated that if the emperor took the third soup 'medicine', there should be no major problems, and he would be completely awake at dinner at the latest. But until the night, it was dark and starry, and there was no movement in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

I have a foreboding premonition, and I am afraid that until dawn tomorrow, before I am corrected by the Fa, the Queen Mother will not let the emperor wake up.

After tossing and turning at night and not being able to sleep peacefully all night, I realized that I was also a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. When great calamity comes, I will also be afraid, worried, frightened, nostalgic, and reluctant. I filtered the bits and pieces of my acquaintance with Liang Ci in my mind over and over again. I still miss my master, I miss the carefree on the Cloud Mountain, and I feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Until the golden 'rooster' crowed, the first bell and drum of the early dynasty sounded, and there was finally movement outside the Weiyang Palace. A group of soldiers poured in from outside, and the leader said fiercely to me: "Lord Deyi, follow us." ”

I had already freshened up, calmly stood up, and asked calmly, "Where to go?" ”

The man sneered, "We're here to pick you up, where else can we go?" Of course, it's to go to the noon 'gate'. Today, the prince of Crazy Stone was afraid, so he didn't enter the palace at all. The Queen Mother ordered that before the end of the early dynasty, if he hadn't shown up, you wouldn't have to 'hand' over to Dali Temple for interrogation, and you would directly correct the law on the spot. ”

I couldn't help but be surprised, how could the Crazy Stone not come? This is not his spleen 'sex' at all. Even if he didn't find the murderer of Yan San, he would never be so timid and avoid it. Something must have been delayed or something had happened to him!

My heart was pounding, and the thoughts that had just tried to stabilize couldn't help but surge, like a terrifying wave.

The soldiers came up and tied me firmly with a rope. I didn't say a word, and under the push of the soldiers all the way, I left Weiyang Palace and went straight to the noon gate.

The soldiers were lined up and heavily guarded. I was tied to the flagpole in the middle of the noon 'gate', and the executioner, with his bare and strong upper body, holding a ghost-headed knife in his arms, waited aside, covered with horizontal 'flesh', with an indifferent face, glanced at me carelessly, and then lowered his head to wipe the blade in his arms, which was shockingly sharp.

In the east, the morning sun finally soared into the sky, breaking through the layers of fog, sweeping away the 'gloom' for days, and plating the entire palace with a layer of gentle gold.

The bell rang in the hall, and the civil and military officials in court clothes came out, passed by the noon gate, stopped to watch, and pointed me to talk quietly.

I didn't see my father-in-law, and I was even more nervous, could it be that something really happened to the mad stone? But what matters?

Lan Ying'er's father walked in all directions, holding a roll of auspicious clouds and cranes in his hand, walked straight to me, slowly unfolded, smiled at me proudly, and cleared his throat: "Pass on the Empress Dowager's decree: The evidence of the murder case of Su Qingwen, the county lord of Chadeyi, is conclusive, and there is no forgiveness to set an example." ”

I looked at Prime Minister Lan calmly, and only after a long time did I hook my lips and smile: "Your daughter is far-sighted, so 'fine' and clever calculations, and so bold and bold, and the young woman is ashamed of herself." But you don't have to be complacent, my today is Lan Ying'er's tomorrow. ”

Prime Minister Lan was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "I don't know what to do!" I don't repent until I die, and I still slander my son, and you are really lucky that you can live until now. ”

"Haha! Prime Minister Lan, I believe you know this matter well, and you must participate in it. I also send you a word - 'killing', you connived at Lan Ying'er's misdeeds, one day, you will reap the consequences. ”

"Shut up! A bunch of nonsense! Lan Cheng's face was 'revealed' and panicked, and he almost roared at the executioner, losing his manners: "Come on, execute!" ”

I stared at Prime Minister Lan sarcastically, and my left and right 'lives' were not guaranteed, and I didn't vomit or be unhappy: "Lan Ying'er thinks that her hands and feet are seamless, but the reason is clear, and the disaster of your Lan family's 'door' is already hanging high above your head!" ”

A soldier stepped forward in two steps and shoved a cloth towel into my mouth to block my words. Then he untied the rope I was bound to the post and kicked me hard at the crook of my knee, and I staggered two steps forward, nearly falling to the ground.

The executioner walked calmly towards me step by step, and the shiny blade 'shoot' a cold 'gloomy' light.

My life hung by a thread, and I was terrified, and my knees couldn't help but tremble.

There are 'attendants' and guards rushing in from outside the palace 'gate', reporting all the way.

Prime Minister Lan stopped the 'guard': "Today, the emperor is unwell and has never been in court early." The Queen Mother has also returned to Puning Palace to rest. What's the matter? ”

The 'squire' guard bowed down and knelt: "Report to the Prime Minister, the prince of Mohan Kingdom is here!" ”

"Prince? The two princes of Mohan have just returned to China, and they have not heard of the canonization of the crown prince, who is coming? ”

"The villain doesn't know, but the person who came is holding a handwritten letter from the emperor of the Mohan Kingdom, accompanied by an envoy from the embassy of the Mohan Kingdom."

Prime Minister Lan lowered his head and groaned for a moment: "The ceremony must not be lost, you go to Puning Palace to report to the Queen Mother, and I will go to meet the prince of Mohan Kingdom." ”

An official behind him asked in a low voice, "Then ...... about this execution?"

The prime minister glanced at me, his eyes were 'exposed' and 'yin' and he was ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It is the queen mother's decree to kill the key criminal, and it cannot be delayed, and it will be executed on the spot!" ”

The executioner listened to the order, stepped forward and pushed me to the open place of the noon 'door', and he didn't care about the wine sacrifice, so Prime Minister Lan urged again and again.

My hands were tied, my mouth was still stuffed with a cloth, and I couldn't speak. The executioner kicked me in the crook of my knee, and I couldn't hold it anymore and fell to my knees in embarrassment.

In my frightened eyes, the executioner raised the ghost head knife in his hand high, and 'shot' the dazzling sunlight, and I couldn't help but close my eyes.

I heard a crisp sound of "cang" in my ears, but the expected blade did not fall. I opened my eyes in surprise. A cloud of white light swirled above his head and flew towards the palace gate. The executioner's blade was split in two, and half of the hilt remained in his hand, and the blades were broken off at the waist and fell to the ground.

"The Chang'an Dynasty prides itself on being a state of etiquette, how can it be such hospitality?" A warm and clear voice at the palace 'gate' raised his voice and asked, "Doesn't it chill the hearts of our distant guests." ”

I raised my head in surprise, with a moment of dizziness, shook my head, and then opened my eyes, under the dazzling sun, a rain passed the sky and the sky was clear, and the 'colored' figure slowly walked in from the outside, with a golden crown and a bundle of hair, and a sword eyebrow flying.

I thought that I must have hallucinated, closed my eyes, and opened them again after a while, the sun was still dazzling, and the young man smiled warmly at me, like the moon in his arms, and the breeze was blowing.

"Qingwen." He took two steps forward, lifted me up from the ground, and took out the cloth towel from my mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

I was still in a fog, and said in a daze: "Brother Lin, how could it be you?" How could you be ......? ”

"I'll explain to you later." Brother Lin lowered his head to untie the rope that bound me, but was stopped by Prime Minister Lan raising his hand.

"Please forgive this official for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Mohan Kingdom?"

"Exactly." Brother Lin glanced up at Prime Minister Lan unhappily.

"Several princes of your country, all of them have a few faces, why have they never seen you?"

"Is Prime Minister Lan questioning the identity of this prince? I don't think you're worthy of checking the prince's seal codex, right? "Brother Lin still kept his hands and untied my rope.

"What you want to meet is the dignity of my Chang'an Dynasty and a country, we should be cautious, and we can pass it on after inspection." Prime Minister Lan looked Brother Lin up and down suspiciously: "What's more, your identity is really suspicious, although your king is old, I heard that he has never meant to establish a prince." Since you are here in the name of the prince of your country, you should naturally have some proof. ”

Brother Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Prime Minister Lan Cheng is really a noble person who forgets things, I once followed my father to Chang'an nine years ago, above the banquet, in the lower class, I also won the reward of the Queen Mother, and suddenly stumped Prime Minister Lan, why, Prime Minister Lan doesn't remember anything?" ”

Prime Minister Lan stared at Brother Lin's eyebrows for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You are the little prodigy who talked about winning the championship at the imperial banquet back then, and talked about the army on paper, and tried to defeat the generals of my Chang'an Dynasty with a series of schemes?" ”

Brother Lin smiled heartily: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I was young and frivolous, and I didn't know the depths, which made Lan Cheng smile." ”

Only then did Prime Minister Lan bow his hand: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince launched a palace rebellion during the New Year this year, and was encircled and wanted by all the princes, and his life and death are unknown. I didn't expect to die in a catastrophe, and now the blessing has come. ”

There was a hint of irony in the words.

Brother Lin was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still smiled softly: "It's just a misunderstanding." Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, my father has entrusted him with an important task and made him the crown prince, and he has come to visit the emperor of your country on behalf of his old man. ”

I see, I suddenly knew that Brother Lin was the little prince of Mohan Kingdom who regretted that he could not fight on the battlefield in person.

No wonder when he first saw Brother Lin, he was seriously injured, but he avoided talking about his identity; No wonder, Brother Lin is in Yangzhou City, and there will be so many secret guards with strong martial arts to protect him secretly; No wonder, in the Juxian Building, when Brother Lin saw the envoy of Mohan, he would leave me behind and avoid me for a while.

At that time, several princes of the Mohan Kingdom regarded him as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the 'flesh', and then a quick removal. Brother Lin was trapped in the shallows at that time, and his identity was naturally not easy to publicize. And the envoy was killed, presumably because he saw through Brother Lin's identity, and Brother Lin was forced to kill him in order to protect himself.

I still remember that in the valley where I lived, Brother Lin made an oath to me to chase the Central Plains, it turned out that it was not a lie, his real identity was the prince of Mohan Kingdom, and now His Royal Highness the Prince.

After Prime Minister Lan was shocked, he said unhappily: "Even if you are the prince of Mohan, but this killing of the key culprit is the political affairs of my Chang'an Dynasty, and it is not good for the prince to interfere arbitrarily, right?" ”
