Chapter 42: The Storm in the South

For a moment, I felt that there were some people standing or lying in the darkness of the dungeon. The person who had his nose cut off, his hands and feet chopped off, his tongue pulled out, and the eyeball gouging out groped for the lost part on the ground, and finally Qi Qi raised his head and looked at Ran Ziyu gloomily.

Give me back my life~

"Ahh

I am a person who believes in science, so I naturally don't feel that there is anything in the dark, but the remnants of consciousness in this body are afraid of this, and drive the body to do these actions involuntarily.

gave birth to the body parts of her brother and sister in front of a nine-year-old child, blood and tears were cloudy, and screams were repeated, leaving no psychological shadows. And it's a very serious psychological shadow, so even if Ding Yue's soul lives in the body now, he still has nightmares.

Telling yourself not to be afraid is all psychological. But his body trembled uncontrollably.

A pair of hands dragged her through in the darkness, took her in his arms, and gently stroked her hair.

After the fear of being forcibly dragged away, I felt that this embrace was extremely safe, with a hint of permeating coolness, as if falling into the arms of death. The indescribable fragrance enveloped her, and her horror calmed down, and there was some real surprise in her voice, "Master! What are you doing here? At the same time, he naturally turned around and wrapped his arms around his neck. Carefully, as if holding a life-saving straw.

The person holding her paused slightly.

A cool and soft voice came from his head, coupled with an already very pleasant voice, and the words he said were a little less cold and treacherous, "I'm your master?" ”

In the dark, Ran Ziyu rolled his eyes perfectly, "The master speaks well, just say what you want Yu'er to do, yin and yang are weird, weird and scary." ”

"It's a miracle that he can keep you until now." Although he couldn't see his face, Ran Ziyu knew that his face must be extremely contemptuous at this moment.

He?

"But I don't want to keep you." After Youyou spit out these words, Ran Ziyu only felt that his neck was tightly pinched. She grabbed the cold hand around her neck and said with difficulty: "You.... No.... Host... sub...."

“... Uhh

Sure enough, the people who follow the bad guys don't end well. felt that she was really miserable, she was usually threatened by Xuanyuan Hao and ravaged her fragile life, and now she has to die at the hands of his enemies.

"Wronged.... Injustice..... There is a head for injustice.... Debts have.... Host.... Belch.... You should.... To kill.... Regulus.... Bright... Ahh

There was a rush of footsteps, followed by the sound of the lock opening.

The candlelight outside shone in, shining on Ran Ziyu's miserable and painful little face. "Yu'er!"

The cold man in the silver and white clothes was none other than Xuanyuan Cheng.

“... Prince? Ran Ziyu couldn't stand up anymore and fell. Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes were quick, caught her gradually falling body, picked her up, and strode out.

"Pass on Xu Mei!"

Gu Qi, who was behind him, listened to the order and left like the wind.

On the Chonghua Palace, the man sitting on the dragon chair was dressed in a dragon robe wearing clouds and beads, and his handsome face was like a blazing eyebrow, but he was tightly wrinkled. Faintly swept the luxurious softness in the lower right corner, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

Today, the day of the death of the mother, his brother went to the imperial tomb a few days ago.

"Your Majesty, General Yasukuni Erpin and General Anguo Erpin deliberately falsified military merits and played with Your Majesty between applause, according to the law of Dayue, their crimes should be punished by the three clans." Lu Xiang said respectfully.

The so-called three clans are one line of parents, one line of brothers and sisters, and one line of wives and children. Ran Zijing and Ran Ziming are unmarried, and Ran Ziwen is married, so they are not counted. Ran Zixian has already promised Jing'an Hou's second son, and it is not counted.

Xuanyuan Hui held his temples with one hand and stroked the beard of his chin with the other. "Punish them, who will fight for me?" Lazily got up from the dragon chair and looked down at the hundred officials in the hall who were pleasing to their eyes.

"You?" Refers to the landing prime minister.

Prime Minister Lu was frightened, "No, no, no! The minister is a civil official, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength! ”

"Prime Minister Lu now knows that he is powerless? Why didn't you have this realization when you went to the Ran Guogong Mansion to arrest people last night? The cold voice carried suppressed anger.

Xuanyuan Cheng strode in, followed by Ran Ziyu.

"Sons and daughters meet their father! Father St. Ann! ”

"Ran Ziyu, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Ran Guo, greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Xuanyuan Hui half-squinted at the two kneeling people below, "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Father!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I look at Yu Yatou's face is as pale as paper, but she is not feeling well?" On the Chonghua Hall with such a solemn atmosphere, Emperor Hui's concern came unexpectedly, not only the hundred officials were startled, but even Xuanyuan Cheng, who had always been as calm as water, raised his eyes.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, Yu'er is just a little uncomfortable in the dungeon, Lord Xu has seen it, but he is just a little frightened." Ran Ziyu replied.

"Dungeon?" Xuanyuan Hui chewed on these two words.

Ran Ziyu glanced at Prime Minister Lu Cheng, who was pretending to be calm, and spoke, "Yes, dungeon." Last night, Prime Minister Lu Cheng's people arrested Yu'er and went to the dungeon of Dali Temple. ”

"Your Majesty! Minister...."Prime Minister Lu explained.

Ran Ziyu's voice raised a few points, overpowering Prime Minister Lu Cheng's explanation. "Your Majesty! Yu'er thinks that the mistakes made by Yu'er's two brothers should be punished as they should be, and Yu'er has no complaints. Not to mention that Prime Minister Lu Cheng and his civil officials arrested people in Dali Temple one step ahead of them, and the dog took the mouse to meddle in his affairs, Prime Minister Lu Cheng should know that the daughter who has been promised to marry is not counted among the three clans. ”

Above the court, dare to say that Prime Minister Lu Cheng took a mouse, and the little girl of the Ran family was the first.

Xuanyuan Cheng smiled with satisfaction. Emperor Hui even supported his chin with one hand, with an expression of watching a play.

Prime Minister Lu was speechless, and after a period of embarrassment, he calmly kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty!" How can a sinner be a crown princess? How to block the mouths of the people, and how to maintain the dignity of the Xuanyuan royal family! Your Majesty! Think again! ”

Recently, Prime Minister Lu Cheng has won the attention of Emperor Hui, and he has been promoted from a squire to a prime minister in three years. Half of the hundreds of officials followed Prime Minister Lu Cheng and saluted, "Your Majesty! Think again! ”

Xuanyuan Cheng's face was full of disdain.

"Keep saying that you maintain the dignity of the Xuanyuan royal family, and you cut first and then played, and caught the crown princess who was personally crowned by His Majesty, where did you put Your Majesty! Where to place His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Ran Ziyu said sharply.

"Minister.... Prime Minister Lu Cheng kowtowed, but he couldn't say anything.

"Good!" Emperor Hui clapped his hands happily, "Yu Yatou said well, Prime Minister Lu, you don't take me too seriously, you should be punished!" ”

Prime Minister Lu Cheng had to say sullenly: "Yes!" ”

Ran Ziyu smiled with satisfaction, "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Lu Cheng is right, it is indeed an insult to the dignity of the royal family for a sinner to become the crown princess. ”

"Yu'er..."Xuanyuan Cheng was puzzled and called in a low voice.

"Nanban is known to be tricky. General Murong and General Li have experienced a hundred battles and have not been able to capture them for eight years. The eldest brother and the second elder brother are fledgling, and they are not well thought out, leaving a disaster and should be punished. But at the moment of employing people, General Murong and General Li are guarding the border passes, and Jing'an is waiting for old age...."Ran Ziyu raised his head, "Yu'er hopes that Your Majesty can give my Ran family a chance to remedy, just to calm the Nanban and make my family well." In this way, Yu'er can become the princess of Dayue in a dignified manner. ”

Xuanyuan Cheng pondered. Concubine Ran came to beg him when she got the news last night.

Ran Ziyu added, "Ran Ziyu, the youngest daughter of the Ran State Mansion, swears with her life that if my Ran family can't quell this southern rebellion, the three clans will be punished, and I will not insult the royal family." ”

The officials were shocked. Prime Minister Lu no longer has any objections.

Emperor Hui finally nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yu girl, if you talk too ruthlessly, you don't leave a way back, and it's easy to have an accident." Lazy yawned, "When the time comes, as long as you ask me, I will spare you a life." ”

Xuanyuan Cheng realized that something was wrong, but saw that Ran Ziyu had already thanked him.

That night, Ran Ziyu returned to Lingyun Pavilion, took some things, and told Xin Nu that they were at ease waiting for her to come back, and that they should not go to Lanyue Tower.

"Miss! Miss! ”

Ran Ziyu wore a blood-red cloak, and the white skirt under the cloak rippled like petals with her light and fast steps.

On the thick snow outside the mansion, Steward Lu and a few servants were leading the horses out.

Ran Shicang looked at the flying goose feather snow, and he was already distracted. Mrs. Si carefully explained to Ran Zijing and Ran Ziming to take care of themselves with a pair of red eyes.

Ran Ziyu smiled. She was left here six years ago, and it was such a snowy day.

"Yu girl, you?" Ran Shicang looked at Ran Ziyu Although he was wearing a thick cloak, he was still dressed lightly, and the broken moon whip wrapped around his waist was shining.

"Yu'er is going too." Ran Ziyu said with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Ran Shicang was furious. How can a girl go to war? And this was the fault of his two sons, and it was already disgraceful to go to remedy it, and now a girl was going to follow, wouldn't it make them even more shameless.

Ran Ziyu said seriously: "Yu'er is messing around!" Why can't Yu'er! And Yu'er went to Nanban not only for the Guogong Mansion, but also for His Royal Highness the Prince, Yu'er wanted to marry the prince in style! ”

Ran Shicang looked at Ran Ziyu with a stubborn face, and was a little angry at her straightforwardness. The heart drifted to a desert of yellow sand, the slender and delicate arms of the charming woman in red were slender, and the broken moon was waving in her hand, and the yellow sand was all over the sky. Her long autumn eyes bent into a bright crescent shape, and with a flick of the whip, he rolled him in front of her, red lips and teeth, and every word he said scratched his heart, "Ah Cang, you are mine!" All my life and life are my Nangong Zhi's! ”

Zhi'er!

After a long time, he spat out a few words, "Don't go." "After all, it is the only blood and blood of him and Zhi'er.

Ran Ziyu smiled bitterly, "Yu'er has already obtained the consent of Emperor Hui, so my father's words are useless." ”

"You!" Ran Shicang raised his palms high, and he didn't fall for a long time.

"You hit! Anyway, my mother is gone, my aunt used to bully me, and now even my father wants to beat me! Ran Ziyu said, with a look of unyielding on his face, and tears glistened in his eyes.

Ran Ziming saw that something was wrong, so he pulled Ran Ziyu away, "Little sister...."

Ran Ziyu pulled Ran Ziming on a white horse. It's a shame to say that I can't ride a horse, and I remember that Ran Ziyu can, but he was still young at that time, and he hasn't practiced for so many years. Riding a horse suddenly is very risky, and a small life is important.

"Since my father hates Yu'er, it's better for us to divide into two ways, Yu'er and the second brother, and the father and the eldest brother." With that, with a wave of the whip, the white horse neighed and galloped.

"Ming'er! Ming'er! Oh my Ming'er! "The horse's hooves stepped on the snow lightly, Mrs. Si chased a few steps, fell in the snow, Ran Zirou stepped forward and helped her." Master! Hurry up and chase Ming'er back! Such a big thing can't allow that little slut to mess around! "His Ming'er is a deputy general, and the number of troops is too small.

Ran Shicang shook his head helplessly, "Let's go!" ”
