Chapter 31: Nangong Jingchen's self-blame
Just as a few people were studying how to knock on the door, Nangong Jingchen's hoarse voice came and said, "You all go away and let this king be quiet alone." ”
Hearing Nangong Jingchen's voice, He Che was excited in his heart, and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Lord Wang, you have finally spoken, and the minions will be scared to death if you continue like this!" Or the slave will go ......"
"Shut up, get out of here!" Before He Che could finish speaking, Nangong Jingchen interrupted him like a fierce beast.
Everyone was frightened, and at the same time did not dare to disturb again, looked at each other, and then silently retreated away.
Although he left with everyone, He Che was still worried about his master, and he didn't know what way to help Nangong Jingchen. After thinking about it in his heart, He Che trotted over to find Qiushuang and told her about the drastic change in Nangong Jingchen's mood just now, wanting to inquire about how the other three maidservants were doing in the capital.
"That's ......" Qiushuang thought for a moment and said, "Two days ago, Chunfeng wrote back that they had arrived in the capital, and now they were trying to figure out how to sneak into the palace and rescue the county lord. But you also said that the county lord has lost his memory, and he may not be able to remember us, and rushing to go will only expose our whereabouts, which will not be beneficial to the county lord. So we are also thinking now that maybe we can use medicine to stun the county lord and rescue the palace first. ”
"That's a good idea!" He Che smiled brightly and said, "In this way, our prince doesn't have to worry about the princess every day, it's better to come back early, if there is no princess in this palace, it really doesn't look like a home." ”
"Hmph, just your kid's sweet mouth, I didn't see you give our county lord a good look at it a few times at that time, but now that I'm in trouble, I think of the county lord. Let me tell you, even if the county lord returns, the prince will still suffer, and you won't be able to escape! After speaking, Qiushuang returned to the room with the dried herbs, and no longer paid attention to the stupid He Che.
In fact, as long as the princess can come back, even if there is a contradiction, it is a contradiction between husband and wife, and there will always be a day when it will be resolved, but people are outside, how do two people communicate, how to solve contradictions? Even if he suffers a little, but for the sake of the prince, he will admit it!
He Che pondered while sighing about his greatness, thinking to himself in the world, where to find such a loyal slave of his own?
He Che thought that he had found a suitable solution, but Nangong Jingchen, who was hiding in the house, did not have such a good attitude.
Pouring liquor glass after glass, Nangong Jingchen never hated himself like he did today, it was he who killed him and Baili Lan's child with his own hands, and also put his beloved woman in dire straits, facing the world in a daze. But when she needed herself the most, it was not herself who accompanied her, but all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards, who faced danger all day long, but she couldn't reach herself...... Thinking of this, Nangong Jingchen slammed the table with his fist, and within a few clicks, the flesh and blood were blurry, and it was unsightly.
Drunkenly lying on the table, Nangong Jingchen's eyes were all Baili Lan's appearance, either indifferent, or happy, or ruthless, and finally, when Bai Lilan jumped off the cliff, his face was resolute and desperate......
With a sudden slap, Nangong Jingchen sat up, gasping for breath, his eyes bloodshot and frightened.
"Someone, someone!" Nangong Jingchen shouted loudly, and after a while, He Che trotted in, looking at Nangong Jingchen's lost appearance, he felt distressed.
"Lord Wang, are you hungry, or do you want to bathe and change clothes?"
"What kind of bathing and changing clothes, go and call General Sima and Li Yi and others to this king, I want to discuss with them about attacking the capital!"
Hearing this, He Che's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he felt sudden at the decision made by Nangong Jingchen. When he saw the impatience in Nangong Jingchen's eyes, He Che hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, yes, the little one will summon it!" Saying that, He Che didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran out to call people.
It didn't take long for the important ministers of Lanling to gather in the study, and Nangong Jingchen had already bathed and changed his clothes, regaining his former appearance of wisdom and refinement. It's just that from the bottom of his eyes, he can still see a touch of helplessness and loss, like a child.
When the courtiers learned that the king of Lanling was going to attack the capital, although they knew in their hearts that there would be such a day sooner or later, but if they really wanted to hit the capital, then the reputation of this traitor would be settled, and if they couldn't win, they would wear their hats and live secretly for the rest of their lives. There is only a thin line between success and failure, but no one knows what the final result will be.
General Sima thought for a while, and then said: "Lord Wang, are you acting recklessly now, after all, we have not fully deployed yet, and acting rashly will startle the snake, and it will also make our Lanling lose the opportunity." ”
"Didn't you say last time that the troops were fully prepared, everything was ready, and only the east wind was owed, why did you say now that they were not fully deployed? Are you a three-year-old child? ”
General Sima moved uncomfortably, clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang, if you win the battle, the time, the place, and the people are all indispensable. We now occupy the right time and place, but only one person and one thing are missing. ”
Nangong Jingchen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The crown prince of Beining has occupied the princess of this king, can't this still gather the morale of the soldiers?" ”
"Fighting for a woman, does the prince think this matter is feasible?"
As soon as General Sima's words came out, many people stood up to support General Sima, and felt that they should find a more suitable excuse to resist a station.
The ministers' gossip made Nangong Jingchen upset, waved his hand, frowned tightly and said: "Since you want an excuse for righteousness, then good, my father and queen mother's blood feud, can you be qualified to collect debts from them!" ”
Seeing that King Lanling carried out the old prince and the old prince's mansion, everyone didn't dare to say more, looked at each other, and then arched their hands and said: "But it's up to the prince to decide!" ”
Three days later, the king of Lanling gathered a large army, and outside the city of Lanling, wearing armor, sitting on a horse, pointing in the direction of the capital, and said in a loud voice: "The king's mother was killed by the emperor of Beining, and the wife of this king was captured by the prince of Beining. The Beining Dynasty, which annihilated humanity, had to be destroyed! The emperor of the fish and meat people has to rebel! Sons, now is the time to collect debts, kill with this king, and splash blood in Bac Ninh! ”
The countless Lanling soldiers behind him were highly motivated, raising the sword in their hands, and shouting one after another: "Kill, kill, kill, kill,"
Seeing that the army was so excited, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Jingchen's mouth.
Emperor Bac Ninh, I now want you to repay all the pain you inflicted on us that day!
When the news of King Lanling's army reached the capital, Shu Yichen had just finished approving the folding, and after drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, he was ready to go to bed. When the misty Shu Yichen heard the trembling voice of the eunuch outside the door, he was still displeased, thinking that if he dared to disturb his rest if it was a big thing with sesame mung beans, he would definitely cut off his head!
But after Shu Yichen read the secret report, the whole person sat down on the chair in despair, muttering: "This is bad, this is bad!" ”
The sleepy-eyed Ou Zhilan also got up and walked to Shu Yichen's side, and asked softly, "Prince, what happened to make you so panicked?" ”
At this moment, Su Yichen's eyes had become hollow, without focus, and he said weakly: "King Lanling, send troops!" ”
His eyes opened suddenly, Ou Zhilan was completely sleepy, and said, "Prince, is this news reliable?" Sending troops so recklessly is not like the style of King Lanling! ”
"This is intelligence from the front, and there can be no mistake. It seems that Su Yichen is going to hit the palace by surprise! What is hateful is that General Sima rebelled, and he will capture the general, so that we will suffer from the enemy, only the last Praetorian Guards in the capital, and some scattered guards on the border defense, which is the hanging of heaven and earth with the 500,000 army of King Lanling! As he spoke, Shu Yichen slammed the table, shaking the teacup on it and falling to the ground, shattering in response.
As if startled by that voice, Ou Zhilan's body trembled, and the thoughts that had been in the state of wandering souls also floated back to his mind, looking at Su Yichen, who was both annoyed and angry, and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you forgotten someone?" We still have Baili Lan in our hands. Didn't he come to attack Beining in the name of 'killing his mother and tying his wife', so if we threaten him with Baili Lan, King Lanling will definitely have some scruples. This will buy you time to borrow troops from the Blue Snow Country! ”
Hearing Ou Zhilan say this, Su Yichen seemed to suddenly realize, with a light in his eyes, and said: "Yes, I still have Baili Lan in my hand!" That Nangong Jingchen, didn't he say that he loved Lan'er very much, then let him choose between Jiangshan and beauty! If he ignores his wife's life and death, it will be tantamount to slapping himself, and killing his mother and tyrannizing his wife is just an excuse for his rebellion, then I can righteously invite people of insight from all over the world to jointly exterminate Nangong Jingchen. As long as he can hesitate for a few days, I can send someone to borrow troops from the Blue Snow Country, and then, it will be enough to solve the current crisis! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, and Shu Yichen grinned and ordered Ou Zhilan to dress him. After getting dressed properly, the important ministers of the court who had ordered someone to summon them were already waiting in the upper study, full of anxiety, discussing the matter with each other.
When Shu Yichen announced his plan to the ministers, the ministers stepped forward one after another, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was wise and martial, and this plan was very clever and so on.
After watching everyone seem to have found a way to survive, Su Yichen's heart faintly gave birth to a sense of unease.
Who is Baili Lan, he knows very well that if she doesn't want to, no one can force her to comply. And now that Baili Lan is sent back like this, Su Yichen is so unwilling in his heart. It's really a very unpleasant thing that the fat that comes to the mouth just flies.
And the rumors about Baili Lan are not only known to Shu Yiling, he has also heard about them, so this is another reason why he is bound to win Baili Lan.
Now he wants to give Baili Lan away like this, which really makes Shu Yichen unwilling.
