Chapter 78: Counter-Plotting
Nangong Jingchen did not leave because of Baili Lan's words, on the contrary, he slid his wheelchair to Bai Lilan's side, stroked her long black hair, and said softly: "Lan'er never seems to have told me about your past." It's not for Baililan, I know that the straw bag beauty from the original has nothing to do with you. The queen mother said that she came here by the wind, so how did Lan'er come to this world? I'm curious about what the original you look like. Lan'er, I'm not a person who eats the ancients, no matter what, what I like is the original you. If one day, you trust me enough to tell me about your past, I will listen to you at any time. After saying this, Nangong Jingchen imprinted a kiss on Baili Lan's hair, and then left the tent gently.
And Bai Lilan, who was still lying on the bed, was no longer at peace in her heart. Now she is very sure that the old princess is also a time-traveling woman, and she uses her wisdom and modern knowledge to bring a glorious era to Lanling, and also bring disaster to herself. According to Nangong Jingchen, the old princess disappeared in the end, so where did she go, did she return to modern life, or went to another unknown world? And what is the force that is guiding you here? There were too many questions piled up in Baili Lan's heart, which made her feel a little irritable.
And Nangong Jingchen, who left the tent, didn't see anywhere with a pale face. went to Wuyan's place, Nangong Jingchen picked up a cup, found that it was dirty, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "How do you slaves serve their masters, the cup is so dirty, how can people use it!" As he spoke, Nangong Jingchen threw the cup at the feet of the disciple of the Hundred Xiangmen, and the disciple turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground, and looked faceless as if he was begging for help.
Raising his arm slightly, he motioned for the unlucky guy to leave, looked at Nangong Jingchen without a face, and said roughly: "I wrote a letter to the door last night, and found that the inkstone was not brought, so I found a cup to replace it. Looking at Nangong Jingchen hesitantly, he asked shamelessly, "What's wrong with you, I didn't look right when I saw you just now, is it because of that bear?" ”
Exhaling slightly, Nangong Jingchen leaned back in his chair, shook his head and said with a smile: "If I say, am I afraid of you, do you believe it?" ”
"Fear? So what are you afraid of? ”
Thinking of the scene when the old princess left, Nangong Jingchen clenched his fists and said as if he had sworn an oath: "I...... I don't want Lan'er to leave inexplicably! Just like the queen mother left me back then! ”
Wuyan didn't know what was going on back then, so he thought that Nangong Jingchen was worried that Emperor Beining would get in the way and ruin their happiness. Slowly lowered his eyelashes, without a smile, but said with an oath: "Baili Lan is yours, and no one can take it away." Even if they have any idea, it depends on whether I agree or not! Cousin, in fact, you don't have to worry about the reason of Emperor Beining, this time we went to the Sichuan Bone Cave to cure your leg disease, and after you can stand up again, we will spread this news to the world, this vision is a sign of the fall of power in Beining! Revenge for your mother is just around the corner! ”
Nangong Jingchen was not moved by the shameless statement, but said with a wry smile: "This must be the way Lan'er came up with!" ”
Wuyan paused before saying, "That's right. Originally, she wanted to tell you what happened carefully after finding the cold bed, but I couldn't get used to seeing you look half-dead now, so I couldn't help but say it to cheer you up. Unfortunately, judging from the current effect, it doesn't seem to be ideal. ”
I don't know when it started, the idea of seizing the throne and avenging his parents became faint in Nangong Jingchen's heart, and at the same time, there was another voice in his heart that kept reminding him that he was going to grasp the woman in front of him, no matter what method he used, he wanted to make her happy and happy. Now that she has done it, Bai Lilan has no worries and can live the life she wants by her side. But why is it that the gains and losses in the heart have not been alleviated, but have become more serious?
Seeing that Nangong Jingchen was silent, he was silent for a while before he said, "Cousin, you are so worried in your heart, but is it because Lan'er has never given you any promises?" ”
Wuyan's words woke up Nangong Jingchen, he raised his head sharply and looked at Wuyan, the darkness in his eyes proved what Wuyan had just said, and at the same time, it also made Nangong Jingchen feel very frustrated.
Laughing silently, Wuyan put away the pen and ink on the table, and said in a voiceless voice: "Cousin seems to have become insatiable!" ”
"Insatiable!" Nangong Jingchen was stunned, as if he didn't associate this word with himself, looked faceless, and asked in disbelief, "Are you talking about me?" ”
"Naturally!" Wuyan nodded and said, "What kind of person Lan'er is, you should know better than me." However, she is willing to give up her free life for you, stay by your side, deal with the difficulties of the Emperor of Bac Ninh for you, and painstakingly find a way to cure your leg disease. Such a Baililan, if he doesn't care about you in his heart, can he be willing to do this for you? Not only did you not believe her wholeheartedly, but you doubted her sincerity here, Nangong Jingchen, if you are not my cousin, I really want to teach you a good lesson to this man who is in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings! ”
When Wuyan said these words, Nangong Jingchen kept his head down, and scenes of the two getting along with each other were also crossed in his mind. He believes in Baili Lan, it is different for him, but whether this difference is enough for Bai Lilan to abandon the past and stay by his side with peace of mind, Nangong Jingchen doesn't know. And this sense of ignorance can't be said to others, because others can't understand it, and even question themselves. Therefore, Nangong Jingchen would rather choose to be silent and slowly digest this ethereal feeling.
Seeing that Nangong Jingchen still looked like a stuffy gourd, he had no choice but to sigh, thinking that this man was really a fan of the authorities!
***
Inside the Bac Ninh Palace,
Looking at the demented Liang Ruoxue in front of her, Liang Meiren's tears fell suddenly, and she cried darkly when she hugged Liang Ruoxue, crying and wailing: "God is pitiful, how could my only sister become like this!" When my sister sent you away that day, you were still a beautiful bride to be married, why is it only a few months, and you don't even recognize your sister? What happened to you in Lanling! ”
Seeing Liang Meiren crying with pear blossoms and rain, Beining was also distressed, and while comforting her, he signaled Imperial Doctor Sun to hurry up and say some comforting words to untie Liang Meiren's heart knot.
Receiving the emperor's gaze, Imperial Physician Sun hurriedly bowed forward and said, "Don't worry, Miss Liang is sick because of her worries, as long as she returns to the capital and recuperates a little, she will slowly recover." As for who killed whom, I can't say, if it weren't for the fact that King Lanling was finally willing to let the lower officials bring Miss Liang back, I'm afraid Miss Liang would be infected with the plague and die in a foreign land! ”
Away from home? Hmph, that's better than turning into a crazy woman and coming back and embarrassing me!
Liang Meiren's eyes were fierce, but she was covered by tears, looking weak and helpless.
"What about the plague, hasn't the king of Lanling already sent someone to report that the condition is still under control? It's so easy to control, is it still called a plague? I think this is a conspiracy orchestrated by King Lanling, and my poor sister has become their victim! Woo, the emperor must be the master of his concubines, Ruoxue can't suffer such a catastrophe so inexplicably! ”
"Rest assured, rest assured!" Emperor Beining patted Liang Ruoxue's shoulder, looked at Imperial Doctor Sun fiercely, and asked, "Liang Meiren is right, you can look carefully that day, is it really a plague?" Why did Lanling find a cure for the plague as soon as you returned? ”
"This ......," left a cold sweat on his forehead, and Imperial Physician Sun said with a sense of anger, "because Princess Lanling is a hidden master!" The minister also heard later that Princess Lanling was studying under Mr. Nanhai, and her medical skills were beyond the reach of the officials! ”
His eyes narrowed, and Emperor Beining snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, then to put it this way, all this happened to be really coincidental. When you and Liang Ruoxue left Lanling, the plague was miraculously controlled, but the person I sent to investigate sent a letter back saying that the king of Lanling and the princess of Lanling left Lanling together and went to worship Mr. Nanhai in person! Hmph, why don't I believe that everything happened so coincidentally! ”
Hearing that the emperor's tone was already murderous, Imperial Physician Sun trembled, then knelt on the ground, trembling and said: "The emperor is angry, and the ministers don't know these things!" However, when the Japanese courtiers diagnosed the maidservant in the palace, they really diagnosed it as a plague! At this point, the minister dares to take the head of the person on the item as a guarantee! And King Ling also saw the tragic situation of Lanling that day, the streets were hung with white cloths, and everyone in every family died because of the plague, the situation was simply purgatory on earth! The Emperor ......"
"Enough!" Emperor Beining impatiently interrupted Imperial Physician Sun, turned to look at Su Yiling, frowned and said, "Ling'er, is this really the case in Lanling?" ”
What Emperor Beining said, Su Yiling also doubted, but in this case, he was no longer allowed to question it. If he agrees with what Emperor Beining said, it will be tantamount to denying himself and overturning all the previous statements, and it will also ruin the sense of trust that Emperor Beining has regained in him. But as long as he persists and bites to death that there has been a plague in Lanling, then he is Liang Ruoxue's savior, and the emperor will not blame himself, but will also gain Liang Meiren's trust. Thinking about it this way, Shu Yiling has no other choice.
Lowering his head slightly, Su Yiling said: "Father, what I saw in Lanling that day was indeed as Doctor Sun said, miserable. I thought that Lanling would be destroyed by this plague, but I didn't expect that Baili Lan would skillfully treat and save Lanling from fire and water. ”
"That woman would be so kind?" Liang Meiren raised her head suddenly, dragged Liang Ruoxue to her side, and accused hoarsely, "My good sister has been harmed like this by her, can she be a good person!" The emperor must be aware of it! ”
