Chapter 15: Sudden Bad News

Ye Lan and Mengling saw Mrs. Hua sitting on the chair with a solemn expression, as if something big had happened, so they hurriedly walked over.

"Grandma, what's wrong? What is the matter with these two envoys? Mengling looked at Mrs. Hua curiously.

"Your uncle is dead, and all 36 officials in the cabinet were assassinated yesterday."

Mrs. Hua is really an unusual old lady, the average old man has already cried and wiped away her tears when her son died, but she didn't shed a tear in her eyes, she was very strong. However, a woman like her who does not let her eyebrows be bearded must have buried her grief in her heart.

"Uncle is dead? Who did this to you? He is the cabinet master, who is so bold as to dare to kill all the cabinet officials. Mengling was much more fragile than Mrs. Hua, and tears instantly soaked her eyes.

"Dream Spirit, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad." Ye Lan hurriedly leaned her head into her arms, and the dream spirit instantly cried with rain.

The Mingyue Kingdom implements a cabinet system, the cabinet manages all the government affairs, and the lord of the country only exists in the name of the royal family. The entire cabinet is composed of thirty-six officials, there are two dragon and phoenix pavilion masters, and Uncle Mengling is the dragon pavilion lord and the main pavilion master, and it can be said that he is the most powerful person in the entire Mingyue Kingdom. This is also the reason why even the director of the first government is afraid of Mrs. Hua's three points.

Mingyue Kingdom is indeed quite strange, Uncle Mengling is the pavilion master, and he is actually the son who got married. Of course, when he got married, he was just an ordinary scholar, and he was only admitted to fame after he got married. His wife's family is an official eunuch, and he has a certain amount of power in the national government, coupled with his ability and hard work, he has been in his current position in less than 20 years. can also be described as a talent, but it's a pity that he has been assassinated now.

"There's definitely a huge conspiracy in there. Lan'er, you take Ling'er to clean up, and we'll go to the national mansion now. Mrs. Hua excitedly patted the Taishi chair and quickly got up and stood up. may have been standing too fast, coupled with the grief in the heart of the son who had just died, and suddenly became angry. "Flutter" and sat back in the chair, only to see her holding her chest with her hands, and the expression on her face was a little painful.

Seeing this, Ye Lan hurriedly asked nervously, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" ”

Meng Ling raised his head violently, squatted in front of Mrs. Hua, and said worriedly: "Grandma, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, maybe I was standing too fast." The old lady covered her chest with her hands, and reluctantly showed a smile.

"Mu Xue, go and get the Steady Heart Pill." Dream Spirit turned his head and commanded Mu Xue.

Mu Xue answered and quickly ran out of the main hall. The personal maid is different, Bingyue has already poured a glass of water at this time and brought it to them. Ye Lan hurriedly took the water and fed it to Mrs. Hua to drink, while Meng Ling caressed Mrs. Hua's chest with her little jade hand with a worried face, with tears in her eyes.

"Ling'er, grandma is fine, you don't have to worry." After drinking the water, Mrs. Hua shook her hand at Mengling, looking as if she was no longer as painful as just now, and she should have come over smoothly.

After a while, Mu Xue brought a small white jade bottle, and Meng Ling took the jade bottle, poured out a crimson pill from it, and fed it to Mrs. Hua's mouth, and then fed some water.

"Ling'er, grandma will rest for a while, you guys go clean up first!" Mrs. Hua looked at the two newcomers in front of her, and a smile of relief appeared on her face.

After a while, Fat Tiger returned to the main hall, and after Meng Ling commanded him, he left the main hall with Ye Lan and Bingyue Muxue. The skinny monkey didn't have anything to pack, so he stayed.

When the four of them came to the new house, Bingyue Muxue began to clean up. Mengling picked up her jade flute from the bedside and sat on the bed with a gloomy face, as if thinking about something. Ye Lan saw that she was sad again, so she came to her and sat down. blamed himself: "Dream Spirit, I suddenly feel like I am a broom star, I just married you, and such a big thing happened." ”

Meng Ling looked at Ye Lan in surprise, and said softly: "Xianggong, don't think so, this matter has nothing to do with you." You didn't marry me, and what was going to happen was going to happen. This may be a catastrophe for our Hua family! ”

"Dream Spirit, then don't be sad, I will feel that it is my own reason when I see you sad." Ye Lan puffed out her cheeks slightly and looked at her with a serious face.

Meng Ling looked at Ye Lan for a while, as if he 'pity the fragrance and cherish the jade', and suddenly leaned his head into his arms, and instantly a burst of girlish fragrance poured into Ye Lan's nose.

Ye Lan was immersed in it, and was suddenly broken by Mu Xue's voice.

"Miss, it's already packed!" Mu Xue turned her head to look at the two of them, and her cheeks instantly flushed a hint of crimson.

"Xianggong, let's go!" Meng Ling gently patted Ye Lan on the shoulder.

Ye Lan replied and left the warm fragrant jade body.

While Mu Xue was tidying up, Bingyue also went to pack their own clothes. Then after packing up the clothes of Mrs. Hua and Fat Tiger, the four of them returned to the main hall.

Back in the main hall, Meng Ling saw the thin monkey squatting next to Mrs. Hua chatting about something, and didn't see the fat tiger, so he asked, "Brother Tiger!" ”

"Oh! He went to prepare the carriage. The thin monkey said and stood up.

"That's it! Then let's go! Mrs. Hua stood up with her hands on the handle of the Taishi chair. She only thought about her son in her heart at this time, and she didn't believe that Hua Runcheng really died like this, she had to see it with her own eyes to believe it.

Seeing this, Ye Lan and Meng Ling hurriedly helped Mrs. Hua out of the main hall by one side, and the two had a tacit understanding.

When the six of them came to the door, they saw Fat Tiger and his servants leading their horses towards the door of the house, followed by a carriage drawn by three large brown horses, driven by a coachman.

Everyone came to the carriage and put their baggage in the carriage, and then Mrs. Fuhua and Mengling got into the carriage. The thin monkey thought that such a good opportunity could rub the oil, and reached out very gentlemanly to help Bingyue and Mu Xue. Unexpectedly, Bingyue glanced at him, and he and Mu Xue easily got into the carriage. The thin monkey pouted helplessly at Ye Lan and walked to the brown horse beside the fat tiger.

Ye Lan and the skinny monkey used to go to the horse farm to ride horses, and now it is just in use. Ye Lan turned over and got on the horse, pulled up the reins, and looked behind him at the carriage. Then he slapped his legs and rode forward slowly.

Jinyang Mansion is almost six or seven hundred kilometers away from the national capital. When they came to the official road, Ye Lan and the others began to gallop on horseback, and the carriage was pulled by three big horses, and they ran very fast, always following behind them.

The group traveled day and night, and finally arrived in front of the capital city on the morning of the third day. This is a large-scale city, almost seven or eight times larger than Jinyang Mansion. The buildings are also taller than Jinyang Mansion, and the tall buildings in the city rise from the ground, and the tallest is seven or eight stories high. The high-rise buildings look like ancient attics, and the exterior of the buildings is similar. The national capital is the national capital, and it is much more magnificent than the ordinary government city.

"Aunt Sun! In front of it is the capital Taihe City. The fat tiger pointed forward and looked at Ye Lan with a smile.

"Fatty, this country is different! The houses are much taller than Jinyang Mansion. The thin monkey looked forward in surprise.

"Grandma, Dream Spirit, we're here!" Ye Lan turned her head and shouted in the direction of the carriage.

Hearing the shout, Mengling lifted the curtain and jumped down from the carriage, ran to Ye Lan's side, and stretched out his little jade hand to him. He said softly: "Xianggong, pull me on the horse quickly, I'll lead the way, my uncle's little tiger brother may not be very familiar with it." ”

Ye Lan suddenly felt happy in her heart, she was in a hurry for the past two days, and she hadn't held Mengling for almost two days. He had never had a skin-to-skin relationship with a girl before he came to Mingyue Country. Since the night in the cave room, I don't know what's going on, I always want to sleep with the soft and delicate body of the dream spirit every night. Now Mengling took the initiative to come forward and let him hug him, which just relieved his lovesickness in the past two days.

Ye Lan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull Meng Ling onto the horse, and wrapped his arms around her. Then he slapped his legs off the horse, and the horse slowly walked towards the moat. The national government is different, there are four stone bridges on the moat. The two seats are narrower, and the two seats are wider. The narrow ones are for pedestrians, and the wide ones are for horses, carriages, sedan chairs, and the like.

At this time, although it was just past the hour, there were already a few more people entering the city. However, it was still a little empty on their horseback, and only a few sedan chairs were walking on the bridge.

The group walked across the moat, and in front of it were four archways. What words are written on it, Ye Lan doesn't recognize. I was about to ask Dream Ling, but I saw that her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep. Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh, and said that they were guides for them, so good at kung fu, they actually fell asleep, it was really cute. It's really tiring to travel in the past two days, and although Mengling is in the carriage, the road is bumpy, and he definitely hasn't slept much.

Walking through the archway, the road ahead converges on a straight road. The street was straight and wide, about twenty meters wide, and as soon as the people entering the city dispersed on it, it seemed a little empty.

"Lan Zai, the road design of this Mingyue Country is really good, it is so straight and there are no cars, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams or anything. You can ride a horse on this road. Anyway, there aren't many people on the street now, so let's ride faster! The thin monkey said and prepared to ride away.

Ye Lan made a "shhh The thin monkey glanced in front of Ye Lan, smiled and asked softly, "Asleep?" ”

Ye Lan smiled and nodded, leaned forward, and hugged her tighter, the morning wind was cold, I was afraid that she would catch a cold.

"How can you be so cute! Can this also be asleep? The thin monkey smiled, turned his head and chatted with the fat tiger.
