Thirty-nine, the clouds break through the moon and the flowers make shadows

In the past few days, many excerpts in the court have poured into the emperor's study and diligent hall. In just three days, the old emperor looked several years old.

"Your Majesty, take a break." Ma Gonggong couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but dissuade the emperor from cherishing his body.

Nangong Bing didn't catch his breath, and coughed for a while before stopping.

Gonggong Ma hurriedly stepped forward to smooth the old emperor. He handed over the new tea he had at hand.

The emperor took a few sips and put it down. Turning his head to Ma Gonggong, he said, "Recently, has there been any movement on Luo'er's side?" ”

Gonggong Ma looked puzzled, "It's strange to say this, there is no movement on the second prince's side, but Princess Loulan has a deep opinion on your detention of the second prince." also said that he wanted Nan Xiang to give Loulan an explanation. ”

The old emperor sneered disapprovingly, "I teach my own son a lesson, it is difficult to see his Loulan's eyes." ”

"That's what the emperor said." Ma Gonggong is worthy of being an old man in the palace, and his ability to make the wind is not bad at all.

A little father-in-law pushed open the door of the palace with a "squeak", poked his head in and reported, "Your Majesty, Princess Shaoyan asks to see you." "The high-pitched, thin sound is extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

"I'm tired, send her back." The emperor supported his chin with one hand, and it was obvious that he did not want to see Princess Shaoyan at this time.

Gonggong Ma on the side patiently persuaded, "Princess Shaoyan comes to the palace every day to ask for a meeting, and it's not a thing. It is better for the emperor to see each other, so as not to have any suspicion between the two countries. ”

The emperor beckoned impatiently, but finally did not refuse again. Motioned to the little father-in-law to bring someone in.

"Shao Yan has seen Your Majesty." Shao Yan and the Loulan envoys behind him saluted together.

Shao Yan is wearing a very plain today, but it still does not damage her stunning beauty, the clothes outline her figure well, thin shoulders, slender waist, and perfect curves are undoubtedly exposed.

"Well, get up." The emperor's gaze fell on the top of her head, and his voice was faint and waveless.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She got up, and the envoy behind her said, "We are here to enter the palace today for the marriage of the two countries. ”

The emperor was also an old fox, pretending to be confused, and asked with a bit of confusion: "What does the envoy mean by this?" ”

The envoy's face was a little unhappy, "The marriage between Loulan and Nanxiang was decided a few months ago. The relationship between Princess Loulan Shaoyan and the second prince of Nanxiang is known to the world.

But yesterday, the minister heard that the second prince of your country was imprisoned, and dared to ask Your Majesty, where did you put my Loulan's face? Please also ask Your Majesty to give me an explanation for Loulan. ”

The Emperor smiled kindly, "It turns out that the envoy said this. Children are stubborn, and they have no way to teach their children, and they will inevitably be punished if they make mistakes. ”

Without waiting for the envoy to speak, the emperor slowly added, "As for the family affair between Nan Xiang and Loulan, please rest assured that Nan Xiang will never be that treacherous person and provoke criticism from the people of the world." ”

The lord of Nanxiang succeeded in blocking Loulan's mouth this time, but it also achieved the purpose of Shaoyan's trip. Seeing this, Loulan and his party left satisfied.

Nangong Luo finally escaped without danger, as for how to go in the future, it depends on Nangong Luo's own ability. After all, Loulan won't always help him.

After Princess Shaoyan left, the emperor asked meaninglessly, "How much of Loulan's actions do you think was arranged by Luo'er?" ”

Ma Gonggong didn't dare to say this, it was all a matter of losing his head. After all, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the companion is like a tiger.

Gonggong Ma hurriedly knelt down and said, "Oh, Emperor, don't dare to talk nonsense about this. Ma Gonggong looked bitter and bluntly expressed his panic.

The emperor obviously understood this, and only sighed, "That's it, you get up." I will not punish you, what do you do on your knees? ”

"Hey, Emperor Xie." Ma Gonggong squeezed out a smile on his face, pretended to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, did the second prince order someone to let him go?" Ma Gonggong leaned in and asked.

"Released?" The emperor was not angry, and looked at Ma Gonggong silently, and the murderous aura on his face forced Ma Gonggong to take a few steps back.

Seeing his reaction like this, he asked with a satisfied smile: "When did I say that I would release him?" ”

"This ......" Ma Gonggong is also an old man who serves the emperor after all, how can he not understand what the emperor means, so he has to say," he never said. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Detention Luo'er to the Zongren Mansion will also give an account to Loulan." Leave the rest alone beforehand. ”

Ma Gonggong knew that this was because the emperor still had doubts about the second prince, but he didn't dare to say more.

The emperor looked at the music at hand, and asked Ma Gonggong, "How is the Song family?" Did Xuan Tianwei find out? ”

Ma Gonggong sighed in his heart, thinking that this matter of the Song family is really difficult to handle. If you are not careful, you will attract the wrath of the emperor, and you are afraid that you will be in a different place.

But he had no other way but to submit a secret seal and wait for the emperor to send it to the Song family.

"What!" The emperor was so angry that he swept all the pieces on the table to the ground with a wave of his sleeve.

The atmosphere in the hall was as low as zero for a while. Even Gonggong Ma held his breath and stood aside, waiting for the emperor's wrath to pass.

It took him a long time before he heard the emperor suppress his anger, word by word, and asked tiredly, "Is the news reliable?" ”

Ma Gonggong is also a good person, and he does not directly answer the emperor's question, "Now all the evidence points to the Song family." "As for what the emperor will think when he hears it, that's none of his business.

Ma Gonggong picked up the pieces that the emperor had swept to the ground one by one and put them on the table again.

After the emperor calmed down, when he flipped through the recital again, he found that half of the recital was impeached by the Song family.

Now the emperor can't care about anything else, and after reading the few pieces at hand from beginning to end, the emperor's face has changed.

"It's a good Song family, they dare to calculate it on my head!" The emperor laughed sarcastically, but the listeners knew that the emperor was really angry this time.

It seems that the Song family's good life is over.

"Guogong, today, the emperor has ordered the Song family to be copied, and the Song family will be beheaded after the autumn."

Lu Fangyuan sat on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, and stroked the carved armrest on one side for a while. I didn't care about the "um".

All this had been expected by him, and there was really nothing to be excited about. "What about Nangong Luo? What happened to the emperor? ”

The spider's face is extraordinarily pale and colorless in the shadows. "The emperor sent someone to bring him out of the prison, and now he is in the Zongren Mansion."

Lu Fangyuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold gaze followed, "What's the matter?" ”

The spider didn't dare to hide anything, and told the news he had heard. "It's the meaning of Princess Loulan and the envoys. The second prince and Princess Shaoyan had a family affair, and Nan Xiang had to give Loulan a few thin noodles. ”

"Loulan?" Lu Fangyuan frowned, "Loulan and Nangong Luo have long been in contact, it seems that I underestimated him." He stood up unhurriedly, "But anyway, I've been prepared." ”

Lu Fangyuan hooked his fingers, and the spider leaned forward. "Inform the python, ready to do it at any time." Lu Fangyuan smiled.

The spider nodded, and said to Lu Fangyuan again: "The dragonfly has news from the palace. ”

"Hmm." Lu Fangyuan was playing with the jade pendant, and he was obviously not very concerned about the dragonfly.

The spider didn't dare to hide anything," she said, "the mother is pregnant." ”

With a "click", the jade pendant in Lu Fangyuan's hand instantly turned into powder, and the eagle-like gaze locked on the spider. "Who did she say was pregnant?"

"It's a sissy." The spider replied calmly under the pressure that came to her face.

There is only one woman in the palace who can call a dragonfly a mother. That is Lu Fangyuan's own sister, who is favored in the harem, second only to the queen's Lu Guifei.

If other factors are not considered, then Lu Guifei's pregnancy is by no means a bad thing for Lu Fangyuan, after all, he is the child's maternal uncle.

But the crux of the problem is that every woman who enters the palace has already drunk the medicine of avoiding children, not to mention that now that the emperor is old, he just goes to sit with her when he has nothing to do, and rarely stays overnight. So where did her children come from?

Unless, this child is not the emperor's flesh and blood at all. He really has a good sister, and he really wants to open her head right now to see what is in it.

Lu Fangyuan's face quickly turned cold, and he asked coldly and ruthlessly, "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"Only the people who serve in the palace and the dragonflies know."

Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to say more. It's better to make mistakes, get rid of the queen, and straighten out the concubine. simply let this child come to the right name, and add a boost to his future position.

"Act in advance, inform the python to do it tonight. Dragonfly, I don't want me to hear tomorrow that the queen is still alive. The grim color on Lu Fangyuan's face, the people watching couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Night, as scheduled.

A black shadow flashed quickly under the hazy moonlight, and if you didn't look closely, you might think that you were dazzled.

For some reason, the cat in the imperial garden in the palace suddenly let out a terrible and penetrating scream, indicating that this was destined to be an unusual night.

As soon as night fell, the lights in the Lanxiang Hall went out early. Lan Guizi took care of the need, sent the people who served below, and lay on the bed with his eyes closed to recuperate.

After the three watches rang three times, the wind unintentionally blew away the layers of light veil-like curtains, where was there still the shadow of the Lan nobles on the bed, and the orchid fragrance on the Lan nobles in the air had already dissipated.

On the other side, the night watchman of Cining Palace accidentally hit a ton and was awakened by a chill. When I woke up, I found that the night wind blew open the window, so I got up and closed the window, turned over and continued to sleep.

As soon as Lan Guiren returned to the Lanxiang Palace, he didn't have time to change out of his night clothes. I heard a man's deep voice, "How is it, is it done?" ”

The python stood in the shadows with its arms crossed, its eyes shining green in the night, like the thin cat in the garden.

"Hmm." Lan Guiren walked past him blindly, and changed back into palace clothes as if no one was around.

"I thought you hadn't killed for a long time, and you were already rusty." The python didn't take his eyes off her, and chuckled in a low voice.

Lan Guiren ignored his ridicule and replied coldly: "I think it's better for you to take care of yourself first." The python stood there staring at her motionlessly, and did not say anything for a long time.

A hint of foreboding flashed through the dragonfly's heart, and she asked, "Has the mission been successful?" ”

The python watched the dragonfly walking towards him, and couldn't help but show a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan, but blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. "Nope."

Only then did the dragonfly see that he had several wounds in his chest, and that the pipa bone had been chiseled through a hole. At this time, the python was almost unable to hold on, and the dragonfly hurriedly stepped forward and carefully bypassed his wound and supported him.

"Tell you to be careful every time, you just won't listen." Dragonfly scolded him in his mouth while treating his wounds with his hands and feet.
