Chapter 181: The Silence of the Frost
"Do you want me to help the Eleventh Prince?" Gu Ningyan squinted his gaze slightly and asked Wei Qianlan.
Wei Qianlan turned the ink bead in his hand, raised his head slightly and replied, "I feel sorry for that child, he belongs to the Wei family after all." ”
Gu Ningyan smiled lightly, slowly approaching his ear, and the scholar used to blow hot words, "If you want, I can think of a way." In fact, she also felt very distressed for the eleventh prince.
"Then it's hard for the princess." Wei Qianlan grabbed Ning Yan beside her, hugged her tightly in her arms, and said in her ear.
Gu Ningyan felt the warmth in his neck, and his cheeks were slightly red, "This is in the main hall, let me go and don't make trouble." ”
Wei Qianlan looked at her princess's blushing cheeks with a smile, and slowly let go of her arms. "Okay, don't make a fuss."
"Tsk, you're like this early in the morning, I don't know if I should come in?" When Ling Ningshuang came back from outside, she saw the scene in the main hall, her face turned extremely red, and she secretly said in her heart that Gu Ningyan and Wei Qianlan were really rude.
Gu Ningyan suddenly jumped up from Wei Qianlan's arms, "Where did you go and you didn't see anyone in the morning?" ”
"Of course, I'm going out to find food, so I won't disturb your husband and wife." Ling Ningshuang said and sent a letter in her hand to Gu Ningyan.
Gu Ningyan took the letter, frowned and looked at the receipt on it, it was written by Wei Qianlan, the king of Lan, so he handed it to Wei Qianlan.
Wei Qianlan knew the words on it and asked Gu Ningyan to open it.
With his words, Gu Ningyan opened it directly, frowned while looking at it, and then shook the letter in front of Wei Qianlan and said, "Ye Yuan said that Suicheng found traces of the black witch, and there was also a murder, and the death was also a drama. ”
"Could it be that the poison king Zhuang Hai has arrived in Suicheng again?" Gu Ningyan asked Wei Qianlan with a puzzled expression.
Wei Qianlan took the letter and quickly skimmed through it, "It shouldn't be the poison king Zhuang Hai, it seems that we have ignored a problem." ”
"You mean you want to say that there is more than one Dark Witch?" Gu Ningyan also thought about it like this, it seems that this matter should be true.
Ling Ningshuang looked gloomy on the side and didn't say a word.
"Ye Yuan said in the letter that he had already written to the emperor, and then he waited for the emperor's arrangement." Wei Qianlan put the letter away and said to his princess.
"Well, it seems that he is still sensible and calm." After Gu Ningyan said this, his eyes fell on Ling Ningshuang, "You."
Why are you silent, not like you usually are. ”
Without getting a response, Gu Ningyan walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "Ling Ningshuang? ”
"Ahh was slapped by her, and Ling Ningshuang came to her senses, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Ningyan chuckled and patted her again, "I was just about to ask you what's wrong, what are you stunned about?" She guessed that Ling Ningshuang might be because of Ye Yuan's letter.
Ling Ningshuang's eyes were slightly stunned, and then she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine, it's just a momentary curiosity about the black witch." ”
"Are you thinking about Ye Yuan?" Gu Ningyan raised his eyebrows and replied with a slight smile.
Ling Ningshuang's face suddenly turned slightly red because of Gu Ningyan's words, "Don't be ashamed of me, you guys talk, I have something to go out." ”
Without waiting for Gu Ningyan to speak again, Ling Ningshuang ran out.
Looking at her disappearing back, Gu Ningyan was puzzled and glanced at Wei Qianlan, "She seems to be wrong?" ”
Wei Qianlan nodded, "You're right, she's really wrong, but don't ask first, just wait for her to say, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”
Gu Ningyan also agreed with Wei Qianlan's suggestion, "Well, I think so too. ”
Another day, Gu Ningyan was invited into the palace by Concubine Tong.
As soon as she stepped into the palace, she smelled a ghost in the palace, and she immediately summoned the four elephants in her heart, telling him to find out the location of the ghost qi in the palace as soon as possible.
Concubine Tong anxiously walked around her palace, frowning, and looked in the direction of the gate from time to time.
Suddenly, seeing a familiar figure, he immediately greeted him, "Princess Lan, you are finally here." ”
"Say hello to Concubine Tong." Gu Ningyan walked towards Concubine Tong and saluted.
Concubine Tong now asked for any more courtesy, and quickly helped Gu Ningyan up, "Princess Lan, don't salute, please help me if you have something." ”
Before Gu Ningyan could figure it out, he was forcibly dragged into the door of the side room by Concubine Tong.
When he saw the fifth prince in the side room and Tong Lu lying on the bed, Gu Ningyan finally understood why Concubine Tong summoned him.
"Concubine Tong, what do you mean by this?"
The fifth prince immediately closed the door of the side room in Princess Lan's inquiry room, "Aunt Lan, my nephew and mother will not look for you until they have no choice." ”
Gu Ningyan looked at the bed and frowned, he seemed to be in pain.
The fifth prince quickly stepped forward and lifted Tong Lu's quilt.
When everything in front of her was presented in front of Gu Ningyan's eyes, she was really frightened, and the right arm on the edge of the bed was really as Su Renqing said, gone
。
What's even more strange is that not only is there black blood flowing from the bandaging of the severed arm of the right hand, but there are even strips like red threads faintly appearing on it. What is it?
"Aunt Lanhuang, the imperial doctors are helpless, I know you must have a way." The fifth prince walked up to Princess Lan and pleaded.
Gu Ningyan withdrew his surprised gaze and slowly walked to Tong Lu's side, carefully observing the broken part of his arm, how could it be, this was a resurrected soul ghost growing in his body.
Concubine Tong didn't let go of the look on Princess Lan's face, and asked again anxiously, "Princess Lan, what's going on with him?" ”
"He went to the green bamboo forest without permission, didn't he?" Gu Ningyan sighed and got up, and questioned Concubine Tong and the Fifth Prince with his eyes.
The fifth prince and Concubine Tong nodded without hesitation.
"The emperor doesn't know yet, but Tong Lu's life is in danger now, and the palace has no choice but to find Princess Lan." Concubine Tong's voice was low and eager.
Gu Ningyan shook her head when she heard Concubine Tong's words, "I'm sorry Concubine Tong Niangniang and the Fifth Prince, I can't help it." ”
When Concubine Tong and the Fifth Prince heard this, their expectant eyes immediately fell, especially Concubine Tong, who eagerly grabbed her hand, "Princess Lan, you must have it."
Solution, right? ”
Gu Ningyan shook Concubine Tong's hands back and explained: "Concubine Tong, it's not that I don't help Tong Lu, it's that I can't help. ”
"Aunt Lanhuang, what do you mean?" When the fifth prince heard Princess Lan's words, he immediately stepped forward in a hurry.
Gu Ningyan's face was slightly tired when he faced the fifth prince's inquiry, "Fifth prince, Concubine Tong, let's tell you the truth, he is hopeless." As he spoke, he pointed to the location of the severed arm, "This is called the resurrection ghost, when he was half-lifed, he was eroded by the ghost qi, and the right half of his body has already died, and now he is hanging by breath." ”
If Gu Ningyan hadn't misjudged, Tong Lu would have died in less than an hour.
Concubine Tong listened to Princess Lan's words and shook sadly, but fortunately, the fifth prince quickly sat on the side.
After appeasing his own concubine, the fifth prince chased after him and asked again, "Aunt Lanhuang, you can give us a result." ”
Gu Ningyan didn't hide it, put his hands behind his hands, and replied seriously, "Then I'll just say it directly, Tong Lu only has one hour." ”
"Isn't there a chance at all?" Concubine Tong kept muttering to herself.
Boom! "Niangniang, the emperor is here with someone." A maid is in a hurry
Hurriedly rushed in.
Before her words fell, Gu Ningyan saw the emperor walking in with great majesty.
"Concubine Tong, I got the news that Tong Lu went to the Green Bamboo Forest without permission, right?"
Facing the emperor's questioning, Concubine Tong, the fifth prince and Gu Ningyan stepped forward to salute one after another.
The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to get up, "I'm here to ask you Tong Lu." ”
Concubine Tong turned sideways and presented her nephew on the bed in the eyes of the emperor.
The emperor didn't even step forward, but beckoned the guards behind him to step forward and "carry people away." ”
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" When Concubine Tong heard this, she immediately stopped in front of the bed and stopped the emperor's guards.
The fifth prince, Wei Luofeng, didn't understand, "Father, what are you doing, my cousin's arm is broken and needs to be healed." ”
"You get out of the way, I asked you to deal with the funeral of the eleventh prince, but you lost the corpse and didn't say anything, and even connived at Tong Lu to cooperate with the black witch." The emperor's words were full of anger towards the five princes.
The emperor's words fell, not only the five princes were shocked, but even Gu on the side
Ning Yan was also surprised by this, from the previous point of view, the emperor valued the five princes the most, didn't he?
"Father, the son is willing to be punished by you, but my cousin is innocent, he did not cooperate with the black witch, and I asked my father to find out."
The emperor directly threw the things in his hand in front of the five princes.
Wei Luofeng recognized that this was the symbolic jade plate of the Tong family. "Father, this is?"
"This is the night when the body of the eleventh prince was stolen, the black witch fell, why does the black witch have the emerald jade plate of the Tong family, don't these explain the situation?" The emperor pointed to the jade plate on the ground next to the feet of the fifth emperor brother and asked.
Gu Ningyan picked up the emerald jade plate engraved with the words of the Tong family on the ground one step ahead of the five princes, and looked at it carefully, it was indeed the Tong family, and according to her understanding of Tong Lu, she was also slightly suspicious in her heart.
Concubine Tong pleaded in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, Tong Lu will never cooperate with the black witch, let alone steal the corpse of the eleventh prince." ”
The emperor ignored the pleas of Concubine Tong and the five princes, and ordered the guards to move as soon as possible and take Tong Lu away.
"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
Just when the fifth prince and Concubine Tong were anxiously exclaiming, the pain on the bed
The sleepy Tong Lu has changed.
Seeing this, the guards retreated and did not dare to step forward.
I saw that strands of bloodline overflowed from Tong Lu's broken arm, and spread to the guards' bodies, binding the guards, and then I saw that the bloodline on the guards' bodies continued to tighten, and the blood slid from the blood-wire net to Tong Lu's broken arm one by one.
Gu Ningyan was surprised, was the broken arm sucking blood? And immediately after, the flesh on the guards fell to the ground little by little...
Concubine Tong fainted because of the fright, Gu Ningyan immediately caught it, in fact, she was not frightened herself, and it was the first time she had seen this kind of scene.
"Father, go away." The five princes escorted the emperor and quickly evacuated the room.
Gu Ningyan also escorted Concubine Tong out of the side room, and when she left, she waved her hand to close the doors and windows, and she couldn't do anything about the screams inside.
Moreover, when they came out, they found that Concubine Tong's entire inner courtyard was in a blood-red state, and the entire inner courtyard was in a strange state.
Could it be that the ghost aura that entered the palace emanated from Tong Lu's body? Gu Ningyan thought so, but in her heart, she was wondering, why didn't she notice it when she entered Concubine Tong's courtyard?
