In fact, when Dongning was hunted down by reincarnation killers, and Nanfeng Guying told her that only Emperor Dongning could command these killers, Sima Hongyan thought that there must be the shadow of Emperor Dongning in all this happening.

Sima Hongyan looked at Lan Shuang, who was still in the dark and still didn't believe it, and felt that this girl was still thinking too simply.

After saying this for a long time, Sima Hongyan felt that what he wanted to know was not this, so he simply asked Lan Shuangdao directly: "I have a question for you, who wants to kill Emperor Yanzhen?" ”

Lan Shuang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Naturally, it's Yan Hao, if he wants to be the emperor, how can he not kill Yan Zhen?" ”

Sima Hongyan's eyes became sharp, stared at Lan Shuang's eyes and said, "You know that I am not asking about this rebellion, I am asking you about the secret trap in the harem, wanting Emperor Yanzhen to die in his sleep without knowing it." Don't tell me you don't know about it! ”

Lan Shuang subconsciously avoided Sima Hongyan's gaze at this time, his eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Sima Hongyan let her think about it more, and immediately chased after her and said, "It's all now, is it necessary for you to hide it from me?" I know very well who did it. ”

"It's Yan Hao!" Lan Shuang suddenly turned his face to Sima Hongyan and said, "He is the one who secretly set up the mechanism on the dragon couch in the harem!" ”

Lan Shuang could even say that it was a mechanism set up on the dragon couch, Sima Hongyan knew that it seemed that Lan Shuang was completely aware of this matter, and it was even possible that this method was designed by her. Lan Shuang's answer actually made Sima Hongyan, who had always remained calm, begin to have some fluctuations in his heart.

Seeing Sima Hongyan's eyes shining, Lan Shuang said: "Actually, Yan Hao and I made two sets of plans at the beginning, raising troops to besiege the capital and forcing the palace is a way. There was another way before, which was to assassinate Yanzhen. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "You tell me in detail how you did it!" ”

Lan Shuangdao: "At the beginning, Yan Hao wanted to get rid of Yan Zhen directly, although Yan Zhen had many princes, but he never set up a prince or a prince. Therefore, Yan Hao thought that as long as Yan Zhen died inexplicably, and there was no prince to succeed him, he could take the opportunity to seize the throne. He always said that this emperor should have been his, and if Yan Zhen died, he was the most qualified to take over. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "This method sounds simple, but it is extremely risky. If the emperor's death is unclear, then Yan Hao is the most suspicious person, isn't he worried that the prince and the officials will obstruct him? ”

Lan Shuang said: "If he is suspicious, then aren't the other princes suspicious?" Besides, Yan Hao has been trapped in the capital for decades, and he has always kept to himself, on the contrary, these princes have been fighting in private for a long time in order to compete for the crown prince, which is something that everyone in Yanling knows. So Yan Hao seems to be risky, but in fact, he has a great chance of success. Yan Hao said that there are many ministers in the court who have already received a lot of benefits from him, and if the assassination of Yan Zhen succeeds, there will naturally be ministers who will come out to support him. ”

After a pause, Lan Shuang picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and continued: "And for the sake of insurance, we have also arranged for soldiers to prepare for the siege of the city. It's just to control the inner city and suppress the prince, Yan Hao is their uncle, and they don't dare to do anything! ”

Sima Hongyan thought for a while and said: "This is the truth, these princes are more than enough to mess around, if they really want to get down to business, I'm afraid Yan Hong can still take care of it." ”

Lan Shuangdao: "At first, Yan Hao was indeed a little jealous of this ninth nephew, and Yan Hong was still the commander of the forbidden army, so it was very difficult to deal with. But within a few days, Yan Hao suddenly said with great confidence that Yan Hong would not hinder him from ascending to the throne. ”

Sima Hongyan asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Lan Shuang shook his head and said, "He didn't say this, but seeing that Yan Hao was extremely confident at that time, he was very sure of what he said." ”

Sima Hongyan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, could it be that Yan Hong and his Uncle Wang reached a deal in private? But thinking of Yan Hong's bloody battle that night, and his resoluteness in vowing not to retreat half a step, he felt that this was unlikely.

Lan Shuang continued: "Originally, I thought it was almost impossible to assassinate Yan Zhen in the palace, until that day Yan Hao showed me something! Speaking of this, Lan Shuang's eyes looked at Sima Hongyan with deep meaning, and asked, "I'm afraid that thing is in your hands now, right?" ”

Although Sima Hongyan cracked the dragon bed mechanism and saved Emperor Yanzhen's life, although the secrecy is extremely high, the people in the palace still know about it, Yan Hao was in the palace on the day of the incident, of course he also knew, and Yan Hao knew that Lan Shuang naturally knew.

Sima Hongyan understood what Lan Shuang was talking about, she didn't intend to hide it, nodded and said, "That's right, it's in my hands, I'm checking what it is and where it came from." You should know this, right? ”

Lan Shuang shook his head and said, "I'm going to disappoint you, I don't know at all." When Yan Hao brought it, it was in a box made of a special black magnet, and he only opened it once to show me the size of the thing. He said that whoever came close to this thing would die, and he couldn't say why. I asked him where it came from, and he wouldn't tell me. He just asked me to think about where this little thing should be placed, that is, where only Yanzhen could approach and no one else could approach. ”

Sima Hongyan raised the corners of his eyes and said, "It turns out that the method of placing it on the dragon bed is what you came up with!" ”

Lan Shuang said: "It's half!" I asked Yan Hao to tell me in detail about Yan Zhen's living habits, and it seems that only the dragon bed in the imperial study is the most suitable. Yan Hao inquired with the eunuchs in the palace that Yan Zhen never came to the harem when she slept in the imperial study. So Yan Hao went to arrange it, and I don't know what he did. Later, Yan Zhen had an accident, and I heard that she almost died, but I didn't expect that it was a coincidence that the night before that day, you went into the palace to see Yan Zhen, and became the most suspicious person, so you were announced to the palace, and you discovered the secret on the dragon's bed and saved Yan Zhen. ”

Sima Hongyan sneered: "Then he must be furious after he knows it, and he can't wait to break my body into ten thousand pieces?" ”

Lan Shuang said unexpectedly: "You guessed wrong! Instead of getting angry, Yan Hao praised you a lot, saying that you are a rare strange woman! When he said this, Sima Hongyan saw obvious jealousy in his blue eyes.

However, Sima Hongyan didn't care about Yan Hao's praise at all, and still said coldly: "That's his bad luck!" ”

Lan Shuang said: "Actually, I guess if Yan Hao really becomes the emperor of Yanling, the queen he wants should be you!" ”

Sima Hongyan said in an even more indifferent tone: "I'm not rare! ”

Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Look at your appearance, it seems that he also mentioned it to you?" ”

Sima Hongyan was silent and did not answer Lan Shuang.

Lan Shuang didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so he said again: "After that failure, Yan Hao has no other way but to raise troops and rebel. Later, he heard that you began to ask the female army to investigate all the officials who had dealings with Dongning, and he was afraid that the matter of meeting with me in private would be discovered, so he asked me to devise a plan to marry my relatives. Yan Hao thought that this was the right time, so he set up an army that night. That's pretty much how it happened! ”

After Lan Shuang finished speaking, Sima Hongyan fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Sima Hongyan suddenly slapped heavily on the table and said sharply: "Lan Shuang! You're still trying to lie to me, you're not telling the truth at all! ”

Lan Shuang was taken aback and asked rhetorically, "Where did I lie, that's the case." I am now highly poisoned, and I need you to treat it, how can I lie? ”

Sima Hongyan sneered, looked directly into Lan Shuang's eyes and said, "You didn't lie all the time, but you only didn't tell the truth about one thing. ”

Stared at by Sima Hongyan's firm eyes, Lan Shuang felt that the sharp eyes seemed to be piercing her body with a sharp sword, and she suddenly turned her head away with a weak heart, avoiding Sima Hongyan's eyes.

This action made Sima Hongyan trust her own judgment even more, and she said to Lan Shuang in an extremely stern voice: "What Yan Hao found out of nowhere, he won't tell you where it came from." In fact, the silver stone that assassinated the emperor was originally given to Yan Hao by you, right? ”

Lan Shuang was shocked by Sima Hongyan's words, she bit her lip tightly, didn't say a word, and didn't dare to look at Sima Hongyan's eyes.

Seeing that Lan Shuang didn't speak, Sima Hongyan sat down again, resumed her calm tone and said, "Actually, that silver stone was obtained from the deep sea of Dongning, right?" ”

Lan Shuang was shocked again, she suddenly turned her head to look at Sima Hongyan, the panic and fear in her eyes could not be concealed, and her voice trembled a little and said, "You, how do you know?" Who told you that? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "This is not important! Let me ask you again, who killed Emperor Yanrong? ”

The questions were more and more shocking, and Lan Shuang felt the tension and panic that he had never felt before. When he heard Sima Hongyan ask about Emperor Yanrong's death, Lan Shuang moved his body back a little uncontrollably, and said again and again: "I, I don't know!" ”

But Lan Shuang's expression told Sima Hongyan that she must know!

Seeing that Lan Shuang's horror had reached the extreme, Sima Hongyan didn't dare to ask too much, she softened her tone and said to Lan Shuang: "You have so many secrets hidden in your heart, don't you feel panicked?" Do you think that if you don't say it, others won't know? I think Emperor Yan Rong was killed by you at all, if I tell the emperor that you know the cause of Emperor Yan Rong's death, what do you say he will do to you? ”

Lan Shuang nervously hurriedly explained: "No, Emperor Yanrong was not killed by me, not me!" ”

"Who's that?" Sima Hongyan took the opportunity to ask: "The killing silver stone is from Dongning, who else can there be besides you?" Do you think you can get rid of it if you don't admit it? Lan Shuang, do you know that your actions have brought disaster to Dongning? You secretly killed the kings of the four countries, as long as I ask the emperor to tell the world about this, I believe that other countries will definitely form an alliance with Yanling and jointly destroy you Dongning! At that time, Dongning will completely disappear from the Central Plains territory forever! ”

Before Sima Hongyan came to meet Lan Shuang, Sima Hongyan studied Lan Shuang. She found that although Lan Shuang was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs and had a noble status, she had a fatal weakness, that is, she was very afraid of death.

When Nan Xunyan told about Lan Shuang's embarrassment after knowing that he had been hit by the "Yin Devouring Poison", Sima Hongyan thought that Lan Shuang was not afraid of how powerful the poison was, but afraid of death. Just like other royal families, the higher the status and status, the more afraid of death.

Because she's afraid of losing everything she has!
