Chapter 331: Spies
When Laneige and his relatives arrived in Doro, King Doro was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, and even the wedding ceremony was held by Mu Cang on his behalf.
When he first arrived, facing an unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar faces, and even language, Laneige knew very well the meaning of his coming here, so he had already died. Going to wait for King Dora to die, he also twisted the green silk and took the initiative to go to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras for King Dora to exceed, and also saved him from becoming a maid who married obediently. Because she was already a princess, she couldn't kill herself, at least not before King Dora died, otherwise her harmony would be meaningless. But in the end, she was just a girl who was just beginning to fall in love, and looking at the dying King Doro, Laneige cried for several nights.
However, when she plucked up the courage and decided to come over to serve King Doro for the sake of her brother and mother, she was stopped by Mu Cang. Looking different from the majestic and burly of other Dora people, Mu Cang is similar to Yan Kaizhi, both belong to the strong type, it is said that because Mu Cang's mother was originally intermarried between Dora and Qingguo, he has a quarter of Qingguo blood in his body.
Laneige remembered that his brother had mentioned this man, saying that he was as sharp as a goshawk, as heroic as a cheetah, and as ambitious as a wolf. If Yu Cang's terrible thing is his tiger-like momentum and black bear-like physique, then Mu Cang is the king of the wolves, he will not fight alone, and he will not even rush to the front, but his terrible thing is that he can make everyone around him have to surrender to his momentum, and he always looks so harmless.
"I have agreed with the second prince that when he arrives, we will all get the throne, and we will return the pearl to the dynasty and the wild goose to the mountain." Laneige clearly remembers that Mu Cang had a pair of chilling eyes at that time, and what she saw in his eyes was confidence and pride that could not be underestimated. Although Mu Cang had only said this to her, in Laneige's opinion, this was the best guarantee. After Mu Cang left, Queen Dora's maid sent someone to inform Laneige, "My king is seriously ill and cannot summon the princess, so please ask the princess to recite the scriptures for my king, so as to pray for the heavens to bless my king's safety." ”
Queen Dora's mind was very clear, she was afraid that King Doro would not be able to match Laneige's youth and beauty after all, and she would be exhausted by then. And she was even more afraid that once Laneige was favored, the fate of the entire Mingshui Palace would be changed. Because there was an elderly king in the Axi Dynasty who favored the new concubine, and abolished all the princes as commoners, and made the young son of the new concubine the king, as a result, as soon as the king died, he knew that the son of the new concubine was not of royal blood. Fortunately, the abolished prince still won the hearts of the people after all, and supported troops to regain the throne, but this is also something that the Dora people have always been taboo about. So much so that since the founding of the country, Dora has set a rule that all successors must have meritorious achievements, otherwise they will not be allowed to succeed to the throne.
Because of this, every generation of King Dora was a brave and warlike man.
However, Laneige obeyed Queen Dora's orders and "chanted and prayed" for King Dora in the palace every day, and won Queen Dora's trust before he intended to give her to Mu Cang, and this will was so resolute that Laneige felt afraid. Fortunately, Mu Cang still kept the agreement and sent her back, but she never thought that she did not die in the hands of the Doro people, but was almost killed by her own people.
Thinking of the ladies of the Doro Palace who were murdered in order to protect themselves, Laneige realized that it was never the nation or the country that was brutal, but ambition.
But she still couldn't believe that Hongyi, who had always cared for her like a brother, could bear to let people force her to death. If you don't want her to go back, you don't have to send an envoy to pick her up, anyway, her mother is dead, and her brother is also exiled to Haiting, and her life has long been meaningless.
Shaohua listened to Laneige's words and shook his head in surprise again and again, but Laneige's appearance really didn't look like a lie, and Hu Banniang also confirmed that Laneige's escort army was mistaken halfway. Shaohua felt that her brain was in chaos, and she gasped and said: "How can this be, the second master, he can't kill you, he even saved his husband." "If Yan Kaizhi knew that Hongyi treated Laneige like this, how could he still be sealed and go to northern Sichuan.
Laneige sighed faintly, Youning didn't speak, just silently reached out and covered her cold little hand, making Laneige feel relieved and warm. She glanced at Shaohua and gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I also thought that the second master wouldn't kill me, but I don't know who it was, in short, I was rescued by the people of Mingshui Palace, but they still died halfway." Laneige was sure that these pursuers were coming with the group, she looked up and smiled at Youning, and her smile became bright and moving, "I just happened to meet Youning, he saved me." ”
Shaohua somehow felt that there must be something hidden between them and didn't tell her, but seeing the appearance of Youning and Laneige, she couldn't say anything. One is her friend and sister-in-law, and the other is her brother, if the two could get together before, it would be a perfect match. But now Laneige's identity is very embarrassing, and whether he can return to Beijing is one thing.
She sighed, looking at Yu Ning, whose complexion had recovered a lot, and she didn't know if his blood qi had recovered, or if it was just red, "Then why did you run to Doro." ”
Seeing that Shaohua did not object to him and Laneige, You Ning held Lanzhi's hand more firmly, and pouted at Shaohua: "Who told you that Doro, it is obviously outside the city of northern Sichuan, and I have been shouting for a long time, but they refuse to let me in." When my father was here, who dared to look at me like this! When I get back, I'll have to tear them all down. Lanzhi was held by his little hand, his face turned red, and he was so frightened that he wanted to pull away, but Youning held it tighter. She was so nervous that she secretly glanced at Shaohua, but fortunately, Shaohua looked as usual, her eyes looked ahead, as if she hadn't noticed their small movements, and Lanzhi slowly gave up struggling.
Out of the corner of her eye, Shaohua saw that the two of them went from awkward and shy to natural intimacy, she decided to go to northern Sichuan, and then look for a good opportunity to interrogate You Ning, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry first, I'm asking you, what did you hear, how did you go straight here." She now wants to know more about what happened, no matter what, Laneige was intercepted and killed on the way back to China, and he was the one who took over from his own country, which had to be creepy.
You Ning thought about it for a while, and slowly revealed what he knew. It's just that when he thinks of Mrs. Xin, he feels that one head has two big, and he doesn't know if she can accept it. Although Laneige was very worried, Youning had already prepared, and at this time, he had to bring Shaohua and Xin Zixuan as backers, especially Shaohua. If Xin Maoshan refuses again, it will be a big deal for him to continue to run away from home, the world is so big, except for the capital, there are many places he likes.
However, after walking for a while, Yu Ning said calmly: "I also overheard it. I didn't know who came to the house to say goodbye that day, and I was not happy, so I deliberately made them think that I was wandering. Shaohua immediately rolled his eyes, thinking that it was enough to be a fool like Youning, and he actually wanted to discredit his image. You Ning ignored her silent complaints, and continued: "As a result, a few of those people in that group are Lang Jun, who is the so-called noble minister in the court, all of them rely on Lao Tzu to be the first emperor's party, and let them say that as long as they want the official position, the emperor will not dare not give it." ”
"That day at the restaurant, a few of them drank high, and their temperament began to go crazy. I heard someone say that although Brother Yan was the emperor's general who was born and died, he couldn't withstand the death of the Qing minister. It is also said that in today's court, in addition to the first emperor's party is the queen mother's party, the emperor dared to fold the face of his mother's family for the Yan family, and now the He family does not help him, so he can only rely on the Qinggui minister. As soon as Mrs. Yan died, Brother Yan was also exiled, so Lanzhi could not be allowed to come back, otherwise the Yan family would disrupt the government again. ”
The more You Ning spoke, the more serious his expression became, and in the end, he even became angry, making it impossible to figure out whether he was angry because of such an arrogant person's words, or because he was annoyed by the thoughts of the so-called noble minister.
Shaohua was also angry and scolded: "Nonsense! ”
You Ning looked at her with an angry face, and couldn't help sneering: "There is even more exaggerated, they said that Brother Yan married you just by relying on the Li family, and he tried to find a way to get you a Dingxi Hou Mansion as a backer, so he took such a big risk to not die." Although Laneige had already heard these words, he still defended himself in a low voice, "My brother really likes Wu Niang." You Ning patted the back of her hand, indicating that he understood that if Yan Kaizhi didn't like Shaohua, he wouldn't let Shaohua marry him like this.
Shaohua didn't see their small movements, he was so angry that his fists were clenched tightly, and his whole back was straightened. "Who the hell said that, what a bastard!" She had heard these words from Hongfang's mouth, but she was just deliberately provoking her when Hongfang, so she didn't take it seriously. But when she heard You Ning say the same, Shaohua suddenly felt angry, her relationship with Yan Kaizhi was worthy of others' criticism, even if Yan Kaizhi refused to let go, she also knew in her heart that Yan Kaizhi would definitely not be that kind of snob.
You Ning knew Shaohua's feelings for Yan Kaizhi, so he didn't dare to stimulate her with these words, so he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to her: "It doesn't matter who said it, the important thing is that I heard that they originally refused to let the emperor send an envoy to pick up Lanzhi back, saying that Lanzhi was already a princess when she came back, but after all, she was a member of the Yan family, and she was afraid that she would avenge Brother Yan." ”
Shaohua gritted his teeth, his eyes showed an unprecedented fierce light, "Do they forget that I am also a member of the Yan family, if something happens to my husband, I will also avenge him." ”
If she let him know that someone forced the emperor to give Yan Kaizhi death, she would never let that person go, and even death would never make the other party happy.
You Ning nodded hurriedly, indicating that she understood what she meant: "So I didn't tell my father and aunt, so I hurriedly ran out, but I didn't expect it to be true." Although what he was worried about was actually Laneige, when he thought that someone secretly wanted to murder Laneige, whether it was for himself, or Yan Kaizhi, and then Shaohua, in short, he had only one thought in his mind at that time: he had to go out, he wanted to keep Laneige.
He actually mentioned this issue to Xin Maoshan, but Xin Maoshan didn't think that anyone in the court was so bold that he dared to blackmail the emperor, and more importantly, Laneige was now a princess, no matter what her surname was, once she came back, she would be royal blood. As a courtier, he actually wanted to attack the princess, which was obviously a big taboo. So no matter what You Ning said, Xin Maoshan felt that he was just being teased by his friends who drank and meat, and his brain was hot for a while, so he asked him to go back to the house and study hard.
How could You Ning be such an obedient person, when he saw that his father didn't care and didn't say a word, he sneaked out.
