In the shocked expressions of the maids, Bai Lilan silently picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, through the ethereal white gas, Bai Lilan seemed to see Nangong Jingchen's handsome and unparalleled face, because of grief, and slowly shed tears.

Two days before entering the New Year's Pass, King Lanling finally died because he coughed up blood. When the news of the death of King Lanling reached the capital, the Emperor of Beining was having fun with Liang Meiren, and he was not happy.

When the little eunuch next to him sent the secret message with the vermilion mark to the emperor, Emperor Beining was still impatient, but when he saw the first line, Emperor Beining pushed Liang Meiren who was glued to him to the other side, his eyes widened, and he read the letter in disbelief, and finally said angrily: "Bastard, King Lanling is dead, why do I only know now!" ”

In fact, this can't blame the Emperor of Beining for being angry, if he could have known the news earlier, he could have used various means, even to frame An for no reason, to weaken the fiefdom of the King of Lanling, if he is lucky, the excuse he found is perfect enough, and he can regain the real power of Lanling without a single soldier, anyway, the King of Lanling has just died, and the unsuccessful son only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he does not dare to confront himself at all, and directly put the people in the Lanling Mansion under house arrest, and after a year and a half, everyone has forgotten about it, After God unknowingly killed those people, when the time came, the entire Lanling would be back in his hands!

But now, not to mention that he doesn't know any news, he is extremely passive, this Lanling prince doesn't know which tendon he has passed, and he actually passed the token of the hereditary title back together, asking the Emperor of Beining to let him succeed the king of Lanling and be the next overlord of Lanling according to the ancestral teachings.

In this way, the Emperor of Beining has no time to prepare anything, tomorrow in the court, there will be envoys to raise this matter, the Emperor of Beining has no evidence, there is no reason to prevent Nangong Jingchen's inheritance, and when the time comes, he can only watch Lanling being handed over to the new master, but he has missed the opportunity, and everything has to be rearranged.

And all this, I don't even know anything about my own meticulous work! This is what makes the Emperor of Bac Ninh angry the most.

Throwing down the wine jug next to his hand hard, Emperor Beining stood up immediately, and said with red eyes: "It's just a yellow-haired girl, who dares to climb on my head and do nothing without doing anything, you still think that I, the emperor, are at your mercy!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Beining was so angry, Liang Meiren stood up softly, stuck to his hands, and her fingers climbed up to Emperor Beining's shoulders as if they were boneless, hooking his chest as if they were nothing, and her voice was so charming that people could soften most of their bones after hearing it.

"It's just that a foreign surname has died, why is the emperor here. The concubines were all hurt by you just now! ”

Liang Meiren's delicate voice made the irritable reason of the king of Beining slowly return, looking at the white and soft silk raised by the beauty around him, a red mark appeared, the emperor of Beining held it in his palm distressedly, blew it lightly, and said guiltily: "It's all bad for me, so that the concubine is frightened." ”

"It doesn't matter if the concubines are irrelevant, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry." Liang Meiren was like a little rabbit, obediently snuggled in the arms of Emperor Bac Ninh.

The big palm patted the beauty on the shoulder, and the Emperor of Beining sniffed the fragrance on Liang Meiren's body and said, "I really wronged the concubine." It's all to blame for King Lanling, who died quietly, so that I didn't prepare at all. There are also a few small works that I placed in Lanling, and no news has been transmitted back at all, one or two are waste! ”

With her eyes rolling, Liang Meiren whispered: "King Lanling is dead when he dies, what is there to be angry with the emperor." And his son is not as good as Lao Tzu, when the concubine was still in the people, I heard that the son of Lanling is ridiculous, and he likes women, and he lingers in the flowers all day long. Oh, that son is lame again, how to exert his strength, the concubine is really curious! ”

was originally a very serious topic, but when Liang Meiren said this, it relieved a little dignified. Emperor Beining smiled contemptuously, and then said: "Yes, King Lanling is dead, what can his son who can't help him do?" In the end, everything is still mine! It's not too late, the entire Lanling is still mine! ”

"The emperor seems to have a very high regard for Lanling," Liang Meiren raised her head and said harmlessly, "but it is just a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, why is it worth the emperor to remember her so much?" ”

"Concubine Ai doesn't know, Lanling ......" Emperor Beining, who just wanted to talk eloquently, seemed to suddenly think of something, closed his lips and smiled, stroked Liang Meiren's long hair, and said, "These court trivialities, Concubine Ai doesn't need to worry, I will handle it myself, you can be the happiest woman in the world." ”

With a smile hidden at the corner of her mouth, Liang Meiren shyly hid in the arms of Emperor Beining, hiding her dark and uncertain eyes.

***

On the day that King Lanling entered the earth, snowflakes fell in the sky, and it was white, as if it was going to erase the last trace of a person in the world.

Standing at the front of the team, Nangong Jingchen was expressionless, leaving only a string of footsteps. Standing in the middle of the line, Bai Lilan was wrapped in a thick cloak and followed step by step.

Seeing that no one thought about herself, Chun'er bowed down to Bai Lilan's side, presented a handkerchief with both hands and said, "The slave maid picked up the handkerchief of the county lord and dared to send it to the county lord." ”

Meimu glanced at the handkerchief that suddenly appeared, and Baili Lan said coldly: "That's not mine, you're mistaken." ”

Chun'er was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but Xia Yu next to her squeezed over and said arrogantly: "It's all said that it's wrong, why are you still staying here and not leaving!" Is this the place where someone of your stature can come, get out of here! ”

Chun'er was embarrassed by Xia Yu's words and left in a gloomy manner. Standing in the ranks of subordinates, Chun'er stared at Baili Lan with a gloomy face, waiting to find an opportunity again.

After the procession arrived at the cemetery and completed the burial ceremony, everyone rested in place for half an hour. The masters had their own tents, and there was a warm charcoal fire burning in the tents, and they didn't feel at all that it was the middle of winter.

Sitting by the fire, Baili Lan drank ginger tea to drive away the cold in his body. When he was halfway through drinking, he suddenly felt that the tea had become bitter, so he frowned, put the teacup down, and asked, "Who made this tea today?" ”

"Back to the county lord, today it was originally Nianxiang to make tea, but because of physical discomfort, Chun'er made tea instead. What, is there something wrong? ”

Chun'er ......

The frowning brows relaxed, Bai Lilan leaned back on the chair, and said: "It seems that she is also a master who will not give up until she reaches her goal, so let's call her here, otherwise I don't know what method to figure out." ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Chun'er followed Xia Yu into the camp, knelt on the carpet tremblingly, and begged in a voice almost crying: "County master, it's not good for slaves and maids, it's bad for slaves and maids, please forgive the slaves and maids!" ”

"Why are you crying, I haven't said why you came here." Bai Lilan frowned in disgust and said, "I've already let everyone go out, just say everything you want to say!" ”

The body moved slightly, Chun'er's eyes rolled, and there was no one else around, so she raised her body, wiped her face with tears or something else, and said with a wry smile: "If the county lord doesn't plan to summon the slave maid, the slave and maid are about to come out with white hair!" ”

"Say something quickly, don't say something useless here!"

The corners of her mouth twitched, and Chun'er watched Bai Lilan's face change, and suddenly made a terrible discovery. Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Chun'er reluctantly said: "County Lord, you didn't convey the news of King Lanling's death in time, and the emperor is very dissatisfied. The emperor asked the slave to tell the county lord, hoping that you could give the emperor a reasonable explanation. ”

"Explain?" Bai Lilan hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled indifferently, "How can I explain this kind of thing, haven't you heard, the old prince was sick and died, do I have the ability to predict the future?" It's ridiculous! ”

Chun'er couldn't help but panic when she saw Baili Lan looking out of the way. Thinking of the bargaining chips used by the emperor to contain Baililan, Chun'er seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the emperor's secret report to the slave maid said that the little prince has not been in good health recently, and he misses the county lord very much." You haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you miss your little boy? As long as the county lord can successfully complete the task assigned to you by the emperor, you and the little prince will naturally reunite! The little boy is alone in the palace, he is also very boring, he is bullied, and no one stands up for him, aren't you worried? ”

It is not difficult to deny that if there is no operation of Nangong Jingchen, this condition will indeed make Baili Lan think about it. But now that Xiaobao is staying by his side in a dignified manner, the situation has already changed drastically, and Baili Lan naturally has no reason to pay attention to Chun'er.

"Worried, how could I not worry about my own brother. However, with the Queen Mother here, naturally no one will bully Xiaobao, you seem to be overly worried. Bai Lilan fiddled with the ring on her hand and said nonchalantly, "But you reminded me that I should write a letter to Xiaobao to greet him and see if he is serious about practicing martial arts." ”

Chun'er saw how she guided, Baili Lan just pretended to be confused, and couldn't help but look anxious and said: "No matter what, the emperor is furious about this, you and I will not feel good!" The county lord should think of a way to make the emperor feel that you are still a useful person to the emperor, otherwise what the emperor will do, the slave doesn't know! Even if the county lord doesn't think about himself, he has to think about the little boy! Now is not the time for you to be angry, we can only make up for our mistakes and get the emperor's pardon by working together to investigate and obtain useful information. I hope the county lord can think carefully about what the slave said! ”

seemed to feel that Chun'er was a little noisy, Bai Lilan waved her hand, frowned and said, "What to do, I know in my heart, I don't need you to talk more!" Okay, go down, your voice is making my head hurt, I'm going to rest now. ”

"But ......"

"Why, didn't you understand what I just said!"

Baili Lan glanced sideways, Chun'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, she shrank back, and left the camp with her body bowed. Standing outside the tent, a cold wind blew, which provoked Chun'er to shiver. The cold made Chun'er speed up her pace, her fists clenched, and her expression grim.

Baili Lan, you and I were the same, we both came to Lanling as pawns of Emperor Beining, but this woman not only did not realize her identity, but always suppressed herself as the hostess of Lanling, which is really unbelievable! Since she can't see her identity clearly, let her see it clearly, and don't daydream boundless with a false identity!
