Chapter 3 The Edict on Agriculture (5)

"Mother, you, are you better?" I didn't expect that her first sentence was to care about my body.

"I'm fine, I'm fine! Seocho, you have to hold on...... Hold on......" I choked and leaned down to hold her hand, I didn't know what to say or do, I just hoped that her faith in survival would be firm.

"Mother, you're good. Emperor...... Your Majesty, you will be at ease. The smile on Seocho's lips was like a shallow blister.

She just smiled, her gaze sweeping over Bao Yuan's face...... I saw the light in her eyes fade away, and her eyes fell silent like birds with folded wings, except for the smile on her lips......

"Sister, sister......" Ruiying cried bitterly on the side.

Bao Yuan looked at Seocho quietly, his whole person was shrouded in a dejected aura, and his eyebrows slowly gathered together.

I didn't know what to say, but I felt a tingling in my chest...... Seocho died, and in order to save me, it withered quietly in the years of flowers.

My gaze stayed on her purple-black lips, this smiling lip, let me seem to see Li Yunying's uncomplaining smile after taking poison, and saw Zhang Jizhao back then, he whispered in my ear in the alley, and the blood-drenched look in his decisive eyes that year......

Suddenly, there was a stirring of disgust in his chest, a fishy sweet breath in his throat, his eyes darkened, and he felt that he had fallen into a warm embrace, and then lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took for me to wake up in the Changchun Palace.

There was sunlight dappled on the curtain through the window lattice, and Bao Yuan leaned on the edge of the bed and slept deeply, his eyebrows gathered from time to time, and he didn't know what kind of dream he had fallen into.

I watched his sleeping face quietly, and suddenly I was surprised by the haggard and tired on his face.

Seocho's death is sad and sad for me, but what about Yu Baoyuan? He must be more sad than I am!

I was just thinking about it when Bao Yuan suddenly shouted my name and woke up from his dream, and his panicked expression made my heart instantly constrict.

"Meng Lang, Meng Lang!" I called, reaching for his hand.

"Rui'er, Rui'er......" Bao Yuan's eyes finally focused on me, and he breathed a sigh of relief and held my hand in the palm of his hand.

"What did you dream about?" I asked softly.

"I dreamed that you were leaving me...... No matter how you call you, you never look back at me......" Bao Yuan said, his eyebrows unconsciously gathered together.

"Fool, how could I leave you." I sighed softly and comforted.

"Rui'er, do you know...... I ......" Bao Yuan leaned down, buried his face in my neck, and said in a deep voice, "I have never felt so helpless and helpless as I am today...... I used to think that I was an emperor, I could protect and give, but these recent events have made me suddenly realize that I am powerless in many people and many things, and I don't even know where I am. ”

"Meng Lang......" His sad and painful expression made me really don't know what to do?! I tried so much to comfort him and comfort him, but I didn't know where to start.

"Rui'er, you have to get better quickly, and my heart is ...... when I see you sick It really hurts. Bao Yuan raised his head and looked at me deeply, and that deep gaze made my heart tighten even more.

"Well, I'll be fine, don't worry." I put his hand to my face and spoke softly.

"After leaving Luo, he will protect you, he is strong in martial arts and proficient in medical skills...... Bao Yuan suddenly decided.

"However, Mr. Li is not an internal servant, so it may be inappropriate to walk around my Changchun Hall like this." Although I understand Bao Yuan's intentions, but the words of people in the deep palace are like a flood of beasts, if there are good things to make a fuss about this, then Bao Yuan will be troubled again.

"Don't be afraid, I can trust Liluo, and I can trust you and Jingyi." Bao Yuan decided: "And I have already made this matter clear to the queen mother, and she has no objection. Moreover, Li Luo usually lives in Yichun Courtyard, and only guards you when you need it. ”

"Would you like Mr. Li?" Thinking about how alo Luo is, I don't think he should be willing to take up the position of guard.

"Liluo didn't refuse." Bao Yuan said: "With him by your side, I can rest assured...... If something like this happens, I won't be able to stay with you for a while......"

"Hmm!" I nodded in agreement, and Liluo would agree so readily, somewhat unexpectedly. However, looking at Bao Yuan's current expression, there should be a lot of troubles in his heart, and the most unrelieved of them should be the hidden worries in my heart at this time.

Li Yunying is just a maid in the Rencao Mansion, although she is the dowry of Begonia, but she can cross many checkpoints to assassinate the princess on the day she lands, and almost kill me and Baoyuan, all of which is not in line with common sense.

He and I have always believed that no matter how chaotic the war is outside, at least in Shu is stable and peaceful, and the same is true for the hearts of the people in the DPRK. But Li Yunying's assassination, as well as all kinds of unexplained realities during the period, made us all a little at a loss!

It is said that Xie Xingben led a team of people from the front of the palace to be on duty outside the banquet hall that day, but when the banquet was opened, he received a message from Xiaoshun, the inner supervisor of Rencao Mansion, and ordered him to take people to Rencao Mansion......

Xie Xingben went "by order", but he always felt that it was inappropriate halfway through, and when he urgently transferred people and horses back to the Horse Mansion, Bao Yuan and I were almost poisoned by Li Yunying.

After the incident, Xie Xingben rushed to Rencao's Mansion to find Xiaoshun, but Xiaoshun had long since disappeared, and later found Xiaoshun's body in a grove ten miles south of the city. I heard that he was stabbed by a sword, and there were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry scattered around the body, as if he had been robbed and killed.

Thinking about it, although Li Yunying is a close maid of Haitang, she can be transferred to the inner prison to pretend to pass on the holy decree, and then she can send someone to kill people and kill her mouth, and before Xiaoshun was assassinated, Li Yunying had already committed suicide by taking poison, so who did what to do? Who has been secretly helping her? I didn't dare to think about it, because the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became!

Now that there is such a major conspiracy, Ren Cao will bear the brunt of the criticism, and it is naturally difficult to get rid of it, coupled with the false transmission of the holy oracle in the inner prison of his house, and then he was robbed and killed, all of which are too coincidental, and have to be reminiscent of - deliberate rebellion.

As far as I am concerned, I would never believe that Li Yunying's assassination would be implicated in Rencao and his wife, let alone the rebellion involved.

Rencao has always been of good character, and he has been friendly with Baoyuan since he was a child, and since he married Begonia, he has always adhered to his duty and never asked about political affairs.

Furthermore, even if something happens to Bao Yuan, there is the Queen Mother who presides over the overall situation, and Xuan Zhe who can inherit the throne outside, he can't get any benefits as a prince, so why bother to do such a thing. So, who is going to arrange such an event and for what purpose?

I have always believed that the incident of that day was just Li Yunying's hatred for me and Bao Yuan because of Zhang Jizhao, so he planned to assassinate me for a long time, but after all, this matter implicated the people in Rencao's mansion, and he was a prince, so whether Bao Yuan wanted or not, he would be forced by the courtiers to personally meet with the three envoys to try the case. Then Bao Yuan will inevitably face a choice between government and family affection, no matter how he judges, it will be a torment for him.

What's more, if there is any abnormal situation in the course of the investigation, or if the people in the court and China talk too much, how will the Rencao couple deal with themselves?
