Unexpectedly, this stay was more than half a month, Lin Zhiruo was too cautious, because she had to avoid the pursuit of the assassins and recuperate from her injuries all the way, so she couldn't improve her speed at all.

Originally, it was expected that they should arrive in Anyang about ten days earlier than Meng Taishi and his party, but it was delayed until Meng Taishi and they arrived, and they were late.

After entering Anyang City, Lin Zhiruo found that the number of guards in the Taishi Mansion really exceeded the regulations that ordinary civil officials should have, especially although a pair of gatemen were dressed as ordinary guards, they were cold and resolute in the dark colors, and at first glance they were soldiers who had been soaked in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, which aroused Lin Zhiruo's suspicions, and after inquiring, sure enough, the Crane King and his entourage had already settled in the Taishi Mansion.

She was cautious and cautious step by step, and finally infiltrated the Taishi Mansion, but she didn't expect to be caught by the Crane King.

The picture of Qin Zitan kneeling and begging for mercy in his mind has always lingered, although the Qin brothers are very different in personality, they all look like dragons and phoenixes among people, and their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to each other. Looking at Qin Zitan's face, Lin Zhiruo would always see the faces of Qin Ziyu and Qin Zimo, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, even if the other party was the murderer of Meng Dongxing, she couldn't help but plead:

"He is the prince of a country, if you really hate him since you were a child, you can kill him directly, why bother humiliating him."

When the Crane King heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "Qin Zitan is good at advocating that the crime of killing Ah Xing deserves death, how can this king let him be freed so easily, he must live and atone for what he has done!" ”

Lin Zhiruo was a little surprised, there was not too much Meng Dongxing mentioning his friendship with the Crane King before, but from the tone of the Crane King, it sounded like the two of them were very good?

Before she could ask her question, the Crane King was already stuck in memories of the past.

In fact, not only did Lin Zhiruo not know the Crane King's feelings for Meng Dongxing, if someone told Meng Dongxing that after his death, the Crane King would even implement his plan in advance in order to avenge him, he would also be shocked.

In fact, in Meng Dongxing's eyes, his relationship with the Crane King was only because of the Moju incident, but in the eyes of the Crane King, he already regarded Meng Dongxing as his younger brother.

That day, I met Meng Dongxing, who was hiding alone and crying in the suburbs, and the Crane King was originally going to go back to Hezhou with his father, but he actually stopped by a ghost. Because his figure is too similar to his brother's figure.

And when he heard Meng Dongxing talk about his life experience, he was even more indignant, because his mother was also because of the whim of the royal family, and when she was still pregnant, she actually let her father take her mother into Beijing.

The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, the father at that time just because he repelled the Huns in Hezhou, to ensure that Dayue can not be harassed by the Huns in 20 years, Emperor Minwen has nothing to reward, and he has just ascended the throne, the emperor has not yet sat firmly on the throne and needs to win the hearts of the old ministers of the court, in order to show the benevolence and generosity of his king, so he named his father, who was already a prince of the country at that time, as the king of the crane, which is the first king with a different surname in the history of the founding of the Dayue Kingdom.

The old crane king naturally knew the emperor's thoughts, and at the same time he was excited and worried about the future, and his fief was in Hezhou, which he was familiar with, and the mountain was high and the emperor was far away.

The eldest husband lived a lifetime to make meritorious contributions, and when the merits fell on your head, he didn't dare to take too much, so the old crane king gladly received the decree, and returned to Hezhou after the celebration banquet, and since then he has taken root in Hezhou far from his homeland.

A few years later, he married the daughter of the local city lord as the princess, and the next year gave birth to the current crane king Mo Jingyao, the relationship between the husband and wife has been very stable, and when Mo Jingyao grew up to two years old, the old crane princess was diagnosed with a happy pulse again.

The Crane Palace's mansion was full of joy, but two months later, the news of the old crane princess's pregnancy was unknown to Emperor Min Wen in the capital, and he actually filmed a special envoy to pick up the princess into Beijing.

On the surface, it seems that this is Emperor Minwen's fancy for the Crane King's family, but the old Crane King understands very well in his heart that it should be Emperor Minwen's stable throne, and it is necessary to start stabbing those who have military power in their hands.

Princess Crane is very happy to be pregnant, but because it has not been out of three months, so this news has been known only to the insiders of the Crane Palace, Emperor Min Wen is far away in the capital, and it will take more than 20 days to arrive at the Crane Palace, and the princess is less than three months pregnant, and the envoy he sent has already arrived.

From this, it can be concluded that Emperor Min Wen has not relaxed his control over Hezhou all along, and even planted a very deep eyeliner in the Crane King's Mansion, so that he could react immediately after getting the news as soon as possible.

It is said that thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and the emperor's summoning is an honor for the courtiers, and he can't refuse.

However, the princess's pregnancy was very difficult, and she had constant morning sickness since the diagnosis of Ximai, and there were several signs of redness, so it was really not suitable for a long journey.

The Crane King then asked the envoy to discuss whether it could be postponed for some time, and the princess would enter Beijing after the first three months, and although the envoy expressed great understanding, he still refused the Crane King's request and waited to return to Beijing to resume his life.

And because the Crane King didn't know who the eyeliner that Emperor Min Wen had planted in the Crane King's Mansion was, he didn't dare to let the Crane Princess replace him easily, so he could only set off on time according to the date agreed by the envoy.

But in order to alleviate the pain of Princess Crane to the greatest extent, he deliberately mobilized hundreds of craftsmen to hurry up to make an ultra-luxurious carriage, carried all the items that the princess was accustomed to in the palace onto the carriage, and also arranged a reduced version according to their bedroom, which could not alleviate the princess's hard work, so as to make her mood a little happier as much as possible.

Sure enough, when the princess saw that the carriage was completed, her eyes immediately flashed with happiness, and she comforted the Crane King in turn, the old man said that any adverse reactions to a woman's pregnancy will disappear after three months, and she is not a few days away from three months, so let the old Crane King not worry about himself.

The group of people went on the road in a mighty way, although there was the comfort of the princess, the Crane King still did not plan to let her go so far, even if her body could support the capital, he could not predict what kind of tricks Emperor Min Wen had waiting for their family, the princess and the child in her womb were his most important people, he really didn't dare to take risks.
