Chapter 71: King Jing Sends Troops
There were screams all around, Ah Lan was also startled, the man raised his head, through the bloodstain, Ah Lan recognized it, it was Qiu Zijian!
Qiu Zijian opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell unconscious on the spot!
Luo Changtian's expression was abrupt, he stood up, patted Ah Lan comfortingly, and said, "Good, I'll go and see what's going on." "
Then he strode away, and Alan didn't even have time to talk to him.
Qiu Zijian was carried down, and Luo Changtian also followed, and at the same time called Wu Changling.
Something like this happened suddenly, the atmosphere of the banquet was affected, and Ah Lan didn't have the heart to continue, after Luo Changtian left, she was restless, and after staying for a while, she still couldn't hold back, and got up to go to him.
When Ah Lan passed, Wu Changling had already fed Qiu Zijian medicine, and Qiu Zijian woke up from a coma.
"What's going on?" Luo Changtian asked.
Qiu Zi recommended: "King Jing ......"
Just confided two words. He saw Ah Lan, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Luo Changtian.
Luo Changtian glanced at Ah Lan, beckoned her over, and then said, "Say." "
Ah Lan's heart was raised, what happened to Uncle Huang?
"The subordinates bumped into an army at the border, it seems that there are hundreds of people, and the strength of the other party is not bad, but the subordinates have many people around them who are not opponents, and they desperately escaped, and according to various clues and traces, the subordinates speculated that most of them were the people of King Jing!"
"Impossible!" Lan subconsciously retorted.
Not to mention that the imperial uncle was not a belligerent person at all, and now that she was the crown princess of Luo Changtian, how could the imperial uncle do this?
But despite thinking so, Ah Lan was still very uneasy.
She tugged at Luo Changtian's sleeve and said, "Could it be a mistake? Uncle Huang can't send troops to cross the country......
Seeing her panic, Luo Changtian shook her hand soothingly, and said, "What is the truth, I will find out, good, you go back first." "
Ah Lan didn't want to leave, but she also knew that if she stayed. It was inconvenient for them to talk about anything, so they could only force themselves to leave.
After she went back, she was thinking wildly, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and when she heard Luo Changtian's voice outside, she stood up at once and hurriedly went out.
Seeing that Luo Changtian's face was a little solemn, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
When he opened his mouth and was about to ask, Luo Changtian said first: "I may have to go in person." "
Ah Lan was stunned, "Is the matter serious?"
Luo Changtian said: "There are many strange things, but it is not simple. "
He touched her cheek and said, "I'll be back as soon as I can, and you'll be good in the meantime." I have to take care of myself when I'm not around, and I can't be willful about anything, you know?"
Ah Lan was silent, looked at him with blank eyes, and said, "Can't I go with you?"
Luo Changtian refused without hesitation: "Can't." "
Seeing Ah Lan sneering, he softened his tone and said, "The border is dangerous, you go with me, I'm afraid that I can't take care of you sometimes, something will happen." Don't make a fuss, wait for me to come back in the capital, okay?"
Ah Lan stepped forward slightly, hugged him, and said aggrievedly: "But I...... I don't want to be separated from you. "
Luo Changtian breathlessed, raised his hand to hug her, and said in a gentle voice: "My Ah Lan is also very sensible, right? I don't want to be separated from you, I will come back as soon as possible, when I am not there, you can go to Mingyu or Lu Ziyan to play with them, and when you change into your clothes for the next season, I will come back." "
In order to coax her, he even gave in like this, and let her go to Mingyu and Lu Ziyan.
Hearing him say this, Ah Lan knew that there was no hope for her to follow, so she could only say in a low voice: "Then you have to send me messages often." "
Luo Changtian said: "Of course. The two of them lay in bed together at night, did nothing, and whispered in their arms.
As soon as Ah Lan thought that Luo Changtian was about to leave, his eyes were reluctant to take his eyes off him, and he couldn't wait to make up for what he couldn't see for the next period of time.
"When are you leaving?" she asked sullenly.
Luo Changtian said: "Tomorrow." "
He felt a little guilty about the time rush, but he had to go and see the situation on the border in person to rest assured, otherwise there would be no accident.
Ah Lan waited for a long time before responding: "Oh. "
After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Those people, are they really sent by my imperial uncle?"
In addition to the fact that Luo Changtian is leaving, what she is also worried about is this, is what Qiu Zijian said true? Uncle Huang really wants to send troops to attack Yue Guo?
But before my father took the initiative to sue for peace, why did my uncle go to war now? Is he sure of victory?
She thought again that Uncle Huang had asked her to hand her a small note, obviously there were people here, but no news about this matter was revealed to her.
What does that mean? Is this a fake at all, or is it ...... Are you going to give up on her at all?
Ah Lan didn't want to believe the latter conjecture, Uncle Huang had been so good to her all these years, she could feel that his feelings for her were all real, not adulterated at all.
Just like that, I said a word or two to Luo Changtian from time to time, and I thought about those things in my heart, and after I don't know how long, Ah Lan fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up the next morning, she subconsciously rubbed to the side, but she didn't feel the familiar embrace.
After being stunned for a moment, she opened her eyes and saw that there was nothing around her.
When I reached out and touched it, the residual temperature was about to disappear.
She burst into tears.
He didn't even say hello to her, and just left.
Yesterday I already knew that he was leaving, and there was already some inexplicable panic at that time, but until now, after experiencing it myself. She felt how strong the panic was, as if she had been abandoned.
Basho and the others outside heard the voice and asked two words outside, but they didn't get a response from Alan.
Hearing that she was crying, Basho was startled, and hurriedly pushed the door and rushed into the house without her answering, regardless of whether she had answered or not.
Then I saw Ah Lan sitting alone on the bed, his face full of tears.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" asked Basho in a hurry.
Ah Lan lowered his head, shook his head, and after a long time, asked softly in a nasal voice, "When did he leave?"
Basho was silent and said, "His Highness left before dawn, saying that it was ...... I was afraid that the princess would be reluctant, so I didn't wake up the princess. "
Ah Lan didn't speak, and wept again, and after a while, she slowly got out of bed and asked people to wait for her to change clothes and wash.
......
In the first few days after Luo Changtian left, Ah Lan couldn't keep up his energy every day, he was either in a daze or dozing off all day long, and sometimes staring at the begonia outside the window all day.
She seemed to have underestimated that she missed Luo Changtian.
It's only been a few days, and she's thinking about why she hasn't come back, and she can't wait to fly to the border.
Cherry couldn't help but say beside her: "The border is so far away, Your Highness must not have arrived at the place now." "
Ah Lan suddenly wilted.
Cherry was about to say more, but Basho quietly glared at her, and she hurriedly shut up.
It was a little hot outside, and Basho fanned Ah Lan seriously.
Suddenly, Ah Lan asked, "Do you know what happened on the other side of the border?" Tell me about it. "
Basho said, "The slaves don't know, but Lord Storm must know, why don't you call him?"
Lan nodded.
Luo Changtian didn't leave with him and left him by Ah Lan's side.
The frightening wind came soon, and he didn't hesitate to hear Ah Lan ask about the border, and told everything he knew.
"...... His Royal Highness is going to Lanling City, where General Mu Han has always been stationed, but because of the critical location, it is an important passage for several countries, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to it, and sometimes he will personally inspect it, or send Lu Xiaohou or Wen Shizi to check the situation. "
Originally, Lu Ziyan or Wen Yu could have gone this time, but the two of them happened to make a mistake at this juncture and were punished, and they didn't want to let them go now, I was afraid that Luo Changtian would not trust them as much as before, so he would go in person.
Ah Lan is pondering, Lanling City?
"Sounds familiar......"
Shocking wind said: "From Sui to Yue, you must pass through Lanling City, and when the crown princess came before, she must have been there." "
Ah Lan reacted at this time.
"Find a map to show me. Suddenly, she said.
The map is not something that can be seen casually, but it was Ah Lan who spoke, Luo Changtian trusted her, and there was nothing to avoid her when handling government affairs, and this request was naturally not objected, and he quickly went to find the map.
Ah Lan found Lanling City on the map, and then a couple, and found that not far away was the northwest where the imperial uncle was stationed.
She stared at it for a long time, rolled up the map, and returned it to the frightening wind.
She went back to the house, carried the birdcage to the table, and lay down on her stomach to poke at Ah Fei, who had gained weight again. "Ah Fei, can you help me deliver a message? not to Ah Yu, but to someone else. "
She hasn't tried it yet, and she doesn't know if Ah Fei recognizes anyone else. Ah Fei couldn't speak, she poked it down and it fluttered again, and one person and one bird communicated for a long time without an answer.
Ah Lan finally wrote a small note and asked it to be sent to Ah Yu, intending to ask Ah Yu if he could do it.
Or if Ah Yu has any channels to send a message, she wants to ask Uncle Huang what is going on.
After Ah Fei flew out, what he brought back was not Ah Yu's reply, but Ah Yu himself.
When Lan saw him, he hurriedly got up and ran over to close the door, and when he jumped in through the window, he hurriedly closed the window.
"Why did you come here in broad daylight?"
Ah Yu said: "Luo Changtian is not here. "
Ah Lan was helpless: "What if someone else finds out?"
"They won't be able to catch me even if they find out. "
Without waiting for Ah Lan to say more, he asked bluntly, "Who do you want to send a message to?"
Ah Lan didn't deny it, "I just don't know if Ah Fei recognizes others." "
Ah Yu's words shattered her hopes: "I don't recognize it, it only recognizes me and you." "
Ah Lan was immediately a little disappointed.
Ah Yu said again: "But there is news about the matter you asked me to help you last time, and the mirror was placed in the palace by Luo Changtian." "
He asked Lan inquiringly, "What do you want that thing for?"
Ah Lan didn't dare to say that it was what the imperial uncle wanted, Ah Yu and the imperial uncle were so incompatible, every time they mentioned it, they had to sneer, and the hostility was obvious, and even this time, Ah Lan suspected that he was because he knew that she was going to send a message to the imperial uncle, so he denied it so quickly, saying that Ah Fei couldn't send the message.
So she said, "It's what I want, but I can't tell you for the time being." "
Ah Yu didn't pursue it, he said: "The palace is heavily guarded, I was almost caught last time I went to inquire about the news, compared to it, it is much more convenient for you to go in, and you have to take care of the rest yourself, but you can find me if you need anything." "
Lan thanked him gratefully.
Suddenly, Ah Yu saw a purse in her hand, and picked it up, "What is this?"
Ah Lan blushed a little and hurriedly grabbed it, "I'll play with it casually!"
She had never taught needlework before, and when she was chatting with some ladies and young ladies at the birthday banquet a few days ago, she accidentally learned that many of them would embroider purses for their husbands or sweethearts, and Ah Lan remembered that she had never given Luo Changtian such a thing.
Now that he is not around, she has a lot of free time, so she plans to learn it and embroider one for him when he comes back.
In this regard, her talent is not very good, and she is a beginner, and the first purse needle and thread embroidered looks miserable, and she forgot to put it away before, but she didn't expect to be seen by Ah Yu.
"You embroidered it?" Ah Yu's tone was strangely relieved.
Ah Lan admitted a little embarrassed, and said dryly: "This is the first one to try embroidery, wait for more practice." That's it, I'm going to tear this up. "
"The first one, how commemorative is it, what are you doing when you dismantle it?" Hearing her say this, Ah Yu directly tied the purse around her waist, stood up and shook it twice, and was quite satisfied, "I'll give this to me." "
"How can this be!" Not to mention that this kind of thing should be given to her husband or sweetheart, and it is so ugly, how can it be given to Ah Yu?
Ah Yu didn't care, she didn't want to return it to her, "Didn't you say that it was going to be demolished? "
Ah Lan got up and went over to grab it, he directly opened the window and climbed out. "I'll go first, I'll come back to you when I have time. "
Ah Lan chased after her, only to see a corner of her clothes, and when she reached her throat, she held back stiffly, she stared at her eyes, very uncomfortable.
As soon as Ah Yu turned out of the prince's mansion, Ah Fei flew out with him and stopped on the wall on the side.
