Gu Ningyan smiled lightly and replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the truth is all about who you believe and who you don't believe, so the courtiers won't say much." ”

"You..."Wei Yifan didn't expect Princess Lan to answer like this.

Wei Qianlan was very satisfied with his princess's answer, "Your Majesty, the minister and Ning Yan mean the same, everything is up to the emperor, how do you judge." ”

"King Lan, Princess Lan, it's hard for me to make a decision like this." The emperor was a little dissatisfied with the words of King Lan and his wife.

Wei Qianlan and Gu Ningyan chose to remain silent after listening to the emperor's words, the husband and wife knew very well that it was useless to say more.

"Father!" Seeing that King Lan and his wife were silent, the four princes were anxious, and called out to the emperor to try to wake up, he was the closest prince.

The emperor naturally heard that the fourth prince was reminding him that he was his prince.

"Okay, you rest first, I'll go back first." When the emperor was leaving, he summoned the three people who had just entered the palace to talk in the main hall.

Looking at the figure of the emperor and King Lan leaving, the eyes of the four princes were full of resentment.

Feng Junyu smiled lightly and took in the resentment in the eyes of the four princes, packed up his things, and said casually, "Four princes, seeing that the emperor is not going to pursue it like this." ”

The fourth prince listened to Imperial Physician Feng's casual words, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned, "I really don't know what my father thinks, and he is so indulgent to Uncle Lan." ”

"Why? Of course, there is still a trace of unbearable feelings, but Concubine Ya almost became the emperor's concubine back then. Feng Junyu immediately shut up after speaking, and then pretended to be sorry and said, "I'm sorry, the fourth prince, the minister is talking nonsense." ”

The fourth prince didn't think that Imperial Doctor Feng was talking nonsense, but now he didn't continue to ask.

The Hall of Diligent Administration.

The emperor returned to his high seat and sat down, picked up Chang Gonggong and sent ginseng tea, and then asked after being silent: "Princess Lan, who is it?" ”

Gu Ningyan understood the meaning of the emperor's inquiry, so he walked out from behind King Lan and said, "If you go back to the emperor, it is the poison king, and his true identity is."

The messenger of the dark witch, named Zhuang Hai. ”

"Dark Witch?" The emperor was visibly surprised when he heard this. The black witch, he had heard since he was a child, the black witch disappeared with the witch clan a hundred years ago, why did there be wanton murder at this time?

"The minister is also curious about why the black witch suddenly appeared." Wei Qianlan said in wonder along with the emperor's surprise.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that we must first find the purpose of the black witch, otherwise it will be difficult for us to judge what will happen next." The eldest grandson, Shaochao, suggested to the emperor.

"The emperor can arrange for someone to go to the green bamboo forest again, but it is very dangerous there, and you can't get close to the green bamboo forest, otherwise you will be like the people who died in the imperial city recently." Gu Ningyan knew that he would be dissatisfied if he didn't tell the emperor about his location, but if he did, then the number of casualties would increase.

"Then this matter, please trouble Princess Lan to do it, and I will let the five princes and Su Renqing follow you." The emperor beckoned to invite the five princes and Lord Su over.

"Your Majesty, do you want Princess Lan to help the five princes?" The emperor's decision like this, Wei Qianlan understood.

The emperor did not speak, but his silence had already answered King Lan's words. Even if Wei Qianlan disagreed, in this case, he had to agree.

After a while, the fifth prince arrived first, "The sons and daughters have visited their father, and the uncle and aunt of King Lan are also there." ”

Wei Qianlan nodded at the five princes in reply.

Immediately after that, the fifth prince asked, "Father, the son heard that the fourth emperor brother found the black witch and was seriously injured. ”

"Luo Feng, now that the situation is complicated, I have decided to let you follow Princess Lan to do it, and Lord Su will also come over later." The emperor softened the look on the face of the fifth prince a lot, and his words were full of hope.

The five princes naturally obeyed their father's father, "The son of the minister receives the order." ”

Su Renqing also arrived at the main hall at this time, "Minister Su Renqing greets the emperor." ”

"Su Renqing, I heard that you also followed the fourth prince to the Qingzhu Forest, but in the end you ran away, I will not investigate this matter, but you follow the fifth prince again, if you run away again, I will definitely punish you severely." The emperor had already been told that Su Renqing was following Princess Lan first

One step away.

Su Renqing was so frightened because of the emperor's majestic warning that he didn't dare to speak, "The emperor forgives you." ”

Gu Ningyan couldn't bear the emperor's warning to Su Renqing, so he opened his mouth to explain, "The emperor doesn't blame Lord Su for this, it was the courtiers who took him away, and the fourth prince was too concerned about the result and was unwilling, otherwise he would not be injured." ”

Su Renqing raised his head, and his eyes rushed to Princess Lan with gratitude.

The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, there is no need to explain, I understand, General Changsun will also help with you, let's go down if you have nothing to do." ”

"The ministers are leaving."

Gu Ningyan pushed Wei Qianlan out of the main hall, then walked out of the Xuande Gate, and out of the palace gate, Mo Yang was waiting with a carriage. When he saw them come out, he hurried to meet them.

"Aunt Lan, when are we going?" When the fifth prince saw that Aunt Lan was leaving, he immediately stopped the inquiry.

Gu Ningyan pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Qingzhulin, didn't my father want us to catch the black witch immediately?" The fifth prince was confused by what Aunt Lan said.

Su Renqing stepped forward and explained, "Fifth prince, let's not worry, Princess Lan has her own decision. ”

"Lord Su is right, you can't be in a hurry about this matter, King Lan and Lord Su should go to see King Lan's Mansion with me for the time being, and we will discuss everything."

"Okay." The fifth prince accepted Aunt Lan's suggestion.

After resting for two days, Concubine Su walked into the pro-government hall with a plate of mung bean cake, and at this moment the emperor was resting because of exhaustion, holding his chin with his hands and slightly closing his eyes.

Seeing this, Gonggong Chang gently woke up the emperor, but Concubine Su interrupted. "Wait a while, don't disturb the emperor."

"Concubine Su is here." The emperor slowly lowered his wrist, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the people around him and asked.

Concubine Su took the tray in the hands of the palace maid beside her, "Your Majesty, this is the mung bean cake made by the concubine, you can try it." ”

The emperor relieved his mood, then took Concubine Su's mung bean cake and tasted it, and then nodded again and again, "I didn't expect Concubine Su to have such skills?" ”

"The emperor made you smile, this is the first time a concubine has made mung bean cake

This. Concubine Su was praised by the emperor, and shyly approached the emperor's side and said, "Concubine, you have been very tired lately, looking at the emperor." ”

"Aifei, has you been feeling better lately, I heard from the imperial doctor that you suffered from the wind chill at night, and your complexion should be better." The emperor got up while speaking, walked off the table with Concubine Su's support, and walked into the inner room with Concubine Su.

Father-in-law Chang followed closely behind with mung bean cake.

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubine's body has improved a lot, I heard that something happened to the fourth prince, so I got up and took a look." Concubine Su brought ginseng tea to the emperor, and by the way, she was happy for the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and gasped, "I'm fine, the fourth prince just suffered skin scars, and the rest is nothing." ”

"Oh, it's fine that the fourth prince is fine." Concubine Su nodded, and then her eyes flashed slightly and she said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks, spring is coming, many flowers in the palace are blooming, and the concubine wants to invite Princess Lan and the female relatives of other ministers' families to come into the palace to chat with the camellia, what do you think?" ”

"Alas, your suggestion is good, there has been no good thing in the palace recently, let alone vitality, you can do this with Concubine Tong, by the way, let Concubine Tong find a princess for the fifth prince, he is not too young." emperor

The suggestion to Concubine Su is supportive.

Concubine Su smiled when she heard this, "Your Majesty, do you mean to agree?" ”

"Well, that's a good thing, I agree."

After getting the emperor's words, Concubine Su retired with the emperor with a smile.

Gonggong Chang looked at Concubine Su's figure of leaving happily, and said softly to the emperor, "Concubine Su should have been bored in the palace recently, since the eleventh prince went to the Royal Academy, he has been with Concubine Su Academy, Concubine Su wants to be lively." ”

The emperor pinched his eyebrows, "The queen is gone, the queen mother is not in the palace, the harem is very deserted now, and Concubine Su should make a special fuss." ”

"Your Majesty, that's what you said."

Subsequently, the next dignitaries and ladies all received invitations from Concubine Su, and invited everyone to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers two days later.

Gu Ningyan, as Princess Lan, naturally accepted the invitation, and Concubine Su also sent an invitation to Ling Ningshuang.

She shook the invitation in her hand at Wei Qianlan and said, "What do you mean by the emperor and Concubine Su?" ”

"It's Concubine Su who wants to enjoy the flowers, and the emperor is the emperor." Wei Qianlan took the invitation in the hand of his princess, glanced at it, and said roughly.

Gu Ningyan shook the invitation and smiled sarcastically, "I won't go, who knows what Concubine Su wants to calculate?" ”

"Well, it's okay not to go." Wei Qianlan agreed with Ning Yan's words.

Ling Ningshuang also nodded in agreement with the words of King Lan and his wife, "That's right, I don't want to go either." ”

"Lord Wang, you wait to appease the five princes in the mansion, and I will go to the mansion." Gu Ningyan thought that she should let Yanran wake up, and if she fell asleep again, it would hurt her.

"Hmm."

The five princes lived in the Lan Palace.

Until the second day, Tong Lu came to the door.

It's just that when he saw his cousin's gloomy face, the fifth prince suddenly understood his cousin's anger.

"Why don't the five princes catch the black witch, as long as you go to the green bamboo forest and catch the black witch, you will win."

In the face of Tong Lu's anxious mood, the five princes were still indifferent. "Cousin

, the black witch is very dangerous, and the four emperor brothers almost died. ”

"Are you afraid of death, don't worry, I've already let the fourth prince take the lead, so we don't have to worry."

When the fifth prince heard his cousin's words, his calm face immediately realized, "What do you mean?" ”

Tong Lu was silent and did not answer the words of the five princes.

However, his silence suddenly woke up to the Fifth Prince, "Cousin, could it be that you want the Fourth Emperor Brother to tell the whereabouts of Emperor Lan." ”

At this point, there is no need for Tong Lu to hide it, "You're right, I tried to reveal the news to the fourth prince, but it's all for your own good." ”

Alas, the fifth prince shook his head at his cousin, "Cousin, you are confused, if Uncle Lan Huang knows about this matter, do you know the consequences?" "He's worried about his cousin.

Tong Lu was very confident, "No matter what the consequences, I will bear it." ”
