Chapter 195: Concubine Lan escapes from prison
"Why?" Lan Ruoxuan quenched a mouthful of saliva on the ground and snorted coldly: "Just because I am the princess of Lanling Kingdom." I've seen with my own eyes how shameless your so-called Kou family is. β
As if caught in a memory, Lan Ruoxuan's eyes slowly lost focus: "My Lanling country is a small border country, and it is not as rich as Daxuandi. Daddy understands this very well. On that day, Daddy had already prepared to surrender and had already sent the surrender letter out. β
"But," Lan Ruoxuan closed her eyes, and seemed to fall into a great painful memory: "Father and mother, what they are waiting for is not the Zhao'an letter sent by Emperor Daxuan, but an army of thousands of horses and horses coming towards our country. β
Kou Shu's eyes widened, listening to what Lan Ruoxuan said in disbelief, as if she was listening to a fantasy.
"Daddy never thought that he would be entered the palace, it was an army that didn't set up any defense at all," Lan Ruoxuan opened her eyes again, and the hatred in her eyes was already bursting out: "Hundreds of helpless old and weak women and children were slaughtered by your army, your Kou family army, it's really heroic, one knife at a time, kill people when you see them, Kou Shu, have you ever seen such a scene, killing people is like cutting vegetables, and what they killed is your closest compatriots, you tell me, if you were me, would you hate?" β
Kou Shu's eyes widened, she looked at Lan Ruoxuan in front of her in disbelief, and kept shaking her head and said, "Impossible, Daddy is not such a person, Daddy is definitely not such a person." β
"Kou Shu, you are too naΓ―ve, do you really think that under the great exploits of your Kou family, only the sweat of your Kou family's army is shed, and there is no blood of others?"
As if suddenly remembering something, Kou Shu stretched out her hand, clasped Lan Ruoxuan's shoulder tightly and shook it: "You make it clear, all Kou generals have a 'Kou' character on their shoulders as a mark, are you sure that the people who come are all my Kou family army, and it is the team led by my father?" β
"Kou Shu, don't be stupid, it's not the Kou family's army, is it-" Lan Ruoxuan sneered and mocked, but as if she remembered something in a blink of an eye, her eyes shrank slightly, and she looked at Kou Shu and said, "You mean, the Kou family army has marks on their bodies?" β
Kou Shu nodded: "Before all the Kou generals are officially recruited, they will unify the tattoos dedicated to the Kou family to prove their identity, and the tattoo pattern is very special and extremely difficult to forge, so if you are talking about the real Kou family, there must be such a tattoo on the body." β
Lan Ruoxuan's eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Kou Shu's hand was dead in front of Lan Ruoxuan, and she couldn't help but say, "Think about it quickly, and make it clear, is it the Kou family's army?" β
As she spoke, Kou Shu suddenly felt a sudden impact, and there was a violent dull pain in the back of her head, Kou Shu's heart sank, she only felt pain, and wanted to turn her head to look at the person behind her, but the whole person was paralyzed, as if there was no support, and fell down softly.
"Niangniang, Niangniang-" Feeling that the world was spinning outside, Kou Shu slowly woke up from her coma, only to feel a splitting headache, and her head seemed to explode.
Seeing the mandarin duck on the side, Kou Shu was still a little dizzy, squinting her eyes and saying; "Mandarin duck, where is this?"
"Niangniang, this is in our palace," the mandarin duck's eyes were a little more anxious: "Last night, the slave and maid followed you to the prison, and the slave and maid were guarding outside the prison, but they didn't see you come out for a long time, and when I was about to go in to find you, I saw the emperor come out with you in his arms and send you back to Changle Palace, and you have slept until now." β
"You mean, it was Song Jinyan who brought me back?" Kou Shu's head was still a little groggy, and when she closed her eyes, she only felt chaos.
"Yes," the mandarin duck nodded, and then said: "But Niangniang, you can't just call the emperor's name, let's say that we are still in the palace." β
Kou Shu nodded, struggling to get up.
The mandarin duck hurriedly came over to help, but heard a rather magnetic voice behind him: "Come on." β
As soon as the mandarin duck saw Song Jinyan coming, he hurriedly lowered his hand and retreated.
Seeing Song Jinyan, Kou Shu turned her head a little apprehensively: "Why is the emperor here?" β
"How?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "Do you still know that you are called the emperor?" Isn't it called Song Jinyan? β
Kou Shu's face was slightly embarrassed, and she lowered her head and didn't answer Song Jinyan's words.
"Lan Ruoxuan has been rescued from the prison," Seeing that Kou Shu didn't speak, Song Jinyan changed the subject.
"What?" Hearing Lan Ruoxuan's name, Kou Shu was stunned, and paused for a few seconds before coming back to her senses.
"When I arrived in the prison last night, you were the only one lying on the ground, and Lan Ruoxuan was no longer there," Looking at Kou Shu lying on the bed, Song Jinyan said: "The person who came is a master, and the shackles of his hands and feet have been cleverly opened, and there is no trace of damage by external forces." β
"It's twin cherry blossoms." Kou Shu's mind turned slightly, and she asserted.
"Twin Sakura?" Song Jinyan frowned: "The girl next to Concubine Lan?" β
Kou Shu nodded: "That girl is not an ordinary girl, the concubine has seen her secretly to Lan Guifei several times, this time Lan Guifei had an accident, Shuangying disappeared as soon as possible, if the emperor doesn't believe it, then send someone to check the whereabouts of this person in the palace, if she really disappears, this matter must be so." β
Song Jinyan nodded, helped Kou Shu tuck the quilt, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes: "Don't let you check, you just want to go, now it's okay, I understand that I was plotted by someone for no reason." β
Kou Shu's face turned pale, and then said, "Thank you to the emperor this time." β
Song Jinyan raised his hand, signaling that Kou Shu didn't need to be polite, and turned to Kou Shu: "Did the queen ask anything she wanted to know?" β
Kou Shu, don't look over, if what Lan Ruoxuan said yesterday is true, it is a great shame for the Kou family, no matter what, I don't want to believe that the dignified Kou family army would actually do such a thing, I must investigate this matter clearly.
Shaking her head, Kou Shu quickly changed to an ignorant expression: "No, the concubine just arrived in the prison, and before she could say a few words to Concubine Lan, she was stunned by someone." β
Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of exploration, and he kept looking up and down at Kou Shu for a long time before he spoke: "Really?" β
Kou Shu nodded, a little more sincere in her eyes.
Song Jinyan snorted coldly: "Queen, if it's really as you said, if you don't hear anything, it's naturally best, but if you hear something and want to make your own opinion, next time you may not have such good luck, I can still save you." β
Kou Shu's face turned red, and she lowered her head and nodded.
