Then Chu Lan recalled: "The first time we met should have been on the wasteland outside Xingshan County, where you experimented with improving the saline-alkali land to grow rice, was that time?" I don't remember exactly, I don't even remember what you looked like at that time, because you were so timid and cowardly back then. ”

Wei Ruo's face was expressionless.

Chu Lan continued: "Later, I found out that you pretended to be it, and you seemed to have been avoiding me from the beginning, disgusted with me for no reason. ”

"So what? Does any of these things matter? Wei Ruo asked.

"yes, it probably doesn't mean anything to you. But I can't easily forget. What I don't understand is that you saved me as Xu Heyou, and treated me well at first, until you knew my identity, you began to alienate me and avoid me like a beast. It seems that the person you hate is not me, but my identity. Chu Lan said.

"So what? Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, I just don't like the Seven Princes, I simply don't want to have a deep friendship with you, and I have never hurt you, and even you are kind. ”

Now, Wei Ruo no longer hides his identity as Xu Heyou.

"You're right, I'm obsessed with this." Chu Lan admitted.

"Your Highness didn't bother to summon me here to discuss these old issues with me." Wei Ruodao.

"I've prepared a house for you outside Beijing." Chu Lan said.

Wei Ruo laughed: "You don't want to be in captivity, right?" Like an outer room? ”

Wei Ruo smiled brightly, but also smiled blindly.

"If you want, when the turmoil is over, I will integrate you into the palace and give you a new identity and a new beginning." Chu Lan said.

"Chu Lan, Chu Lan, you are really perverted enough, killing the king and killing your father, and seizing your brother's wife." Wei Ruo sneered.

"For the sake of my son and brother, I am indeed unkind and unjust, but so what? There was no such emperor in the previous dynasty, and he could still be called a Ming monarch. The common people and historians will only remember the exploits of the society and will not care about these small things. Chu Lan said.

"I don't deny what you said, you may have the ability to be called the second Emperor Taizong, but I don't want to be the Lady or the Yang Clan. What I want is for me to live and stay with the people I love, and if I can't, I will be dead! Wei Ruo said sharply.

"It may be possible for you to resist the order to stay in Jiliao and not return, but you chose to come back with filial piety and guard the spirit, and once you have stepped into the capital, there is no way out. What about the prince who healed your sick and weak prince, it was too late, and he had no chance to turn things around. ”

"Then I will die with him, and I will never be reduced to the point of being imprisoned by you." Wei Ruo's eyes were resolute, not showing the slightest timidity.

"What if I threaten him with the lives of your sons? If you listen to me, I will spare their father and son, or I will let them die in front of you. Chu Lan said.

"No, I'd rather die together as a family than live in such a painful way. Do you think I'm going to live for them and turn myself into your bond? I was wrong, I wouldn't, and I'm sure my husband wouldn't want me to choose that way. Wei Ruo said firmly.

Then Wei Ruo told Chu Lan: "Before returning to Beijing, I prepared poison for our family of three, in case, I won't give you a half-dead situation, you know how my medical skills are, my poison is naturally not solved, I want to die and you can't stop it." ”

Wei Ruo tilted his head, his expression was calm, and there was even contempt in his eyes when he looked at Chu Lan.

A person who is not even afraid of his own death and the death of his loved ones has nothing to fear.

"Wei Qingruo, you are really ruthless, cruel to yourself, and even more ruthless to me."

Chu Lan said hatefully, he stepped forward suddenly, approached Wei Ruo, stretched out his hand, and was about to pinch Wei Ruo's chin, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, General Lu led his ministers into the palace, knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace, and said that he had something important to see the emperor."

General Lu has not been concerned about the affairs of the court for a long time, and today's move is not intended for anything.

Chu Lan frowned, and then looked at Wei Ruo, who still had a rebellious look in his eyes.

He withdrew his hand and said, "I hope you can think it through before we meet next time." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Lan left, leaving Wei Ruo in the side hall.

After a while, there was some movement outside the door, and with the sound of people falling to the ground, the temple door was opened again.

"Miss (Madam), are you alright?"

Xiumei and Lin Fang asked in unison.

When Wei Ruo entered the side hall, the two of them were indeed caught by the master arranged by Chu Lan.

But after Chu Lan left, the two of them were rescued by the secret guards in the palace.

These secret guards are not Wei Jinyi's people, outsiders can't arrange secret guards in the palace under the emperor's nose, the real master of these people is Emperor Daxing.

"I'm fine." Wei Ruo said, "Let's go, hurry up, I still have to confirm one thing, I hope I can catch up." ”

###

Qianqing Palace.

The Zigong Palace of Emperor Daxing is parked here, the inside and outside of the hall are plain, and the incense candles are burned in front of the hall.

In front of the palace, the ministers led by General Lu Lao waited for a long time, and Wei Yichen, a cabinet scholar, and Fan Shuyi, a scholar of the household department, were among them.

King Yu and King Qin were also in the ranks.

King Yu now has no choice, instead of waiting for Chu Lan to make a move on him, it is better to see if there is still room for maneuver in the matter.

When Chu Lan came, although everyone saluted, they did not call him the emperor.

Since Chu Lanling succeeded to the throne, the ministers' title to him has changed to emperor, but at this moment, these people have unanimously changed their titles.

"General Lu, what do you mean?" Chu Lan asked.

After Chu Lan finished asking, he saw Wei Jin also walking out of the crowd and standing at the front of the ministers.

He is tall and steady, no longer the weak posture of the past.

Sure enough, the rumors are true, King Rui has really been cured by Princess Rui.

Her medical skills have always been excellent, and he should have thought of this when he guessed that she was Xu Heyou.

Chu Lan smiled: "Ninth brother, what are you doing?" Just came back, and united with the ministers to make this play? Looks like you have an opinion about me, the imperial brother? ”

Old lady Lu took the lead in speaking: "His Royal Highness King Jing, because of the sudden death of Emperor Daxing, everyone did not find the edict, and because the country cannot be without a king for a day, so I pushed you to succeed to the throne." But now things have changed, and Emperor Daxing has left an edict alive. ”

Hearing this, Chu Lan's eyes sank, and then he looked at Wei Jinyi, and said in a calm tone: "You have the edict of Emperor Daxing in your hand?" ”

Wei Jin also slowly raised his hand, and he was holding an edict in his hand.

Chu Lan said with a contemptuous expression: "This means that the ninth brother brought back the edict of his father?" As far as I know, King Rui has been away from Beijing for three years and has never returned to Beijing halfway, so how did he get the edict in his hand? (End of chapter)
