Chapter 5 Overnight stay
That night, Gao Yan stayed in Luo Qingzhi's whole day in the Xianyang Palace, and the news spread all over the palace.
"This Anning County Lord will not become Anning Niangniang soon."
"I don't think it's a score, when did Your Majesty stay in the same room with a woman for so long."
"But, after all, it's the county lord of Anning who guards the border, maybe he's deliberating?"
"Tut, I heard the old man in the palace say that back then, the prince of Pingbei had the intention of marrying the county lord to His Majesty."
When Huang Shi was passing by, he heard such a conversation, and immediately scolded loudly, saying: "Little cubs, you don't want to live anymore, and you dare to arrange Your Majesty and the county lord." ”
Several palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Huang Shi said to the left and right: "Pull it down, and each person will slap fifty." ”
After Huang Shi finished speaking, he left, and next to the rockery, he saw Gao Zhen, and was about to salute, and thought that Gao Zhen was now a concubine, so he hesitated and had to call softly: "Why is Lang Jun here?" ”
Gao Zhen didn't answer, but asked, "Is what they said true?" Arlo is going to be a mother? ”
Huang Shi also didn't answer positively, and continued: "Lang Jun, go back quickly." ”
After speaking, he ignored Gao Zhen's stiff expression and walked past him towards the Xianyang Palace.
Gao Zhen, who stayed in place, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were ruthless, he had heard that Luo Qingzhi had entered the palace and wanted to see her.
Suddenly, he began to run, running towards the palace gate, he wanted to verify the truth of this matter, and finally waited until Arlo came back, why, he always couldn't get what he wanted.
Thinking like this all the way, he ran all the way to the palace gate, but he just looked at the closed palace gate and couldn't do anything.
For a moment, he forgot to take every step of the way, to rein in his edge, he wanted to rush out of the palace, he wanted to see Luo Qingzhi. This is not the result of the ten years of waiting.
The guards at the palace gate immediately stopped.
"If you don't have a palace card, you can't leave the palace."
Gao Zhen didn't seem to hear it, he wanted to rush out of the palace gate directly, and the guards had to start suppressing it by force, adding sticks again and again, and the pain made him suddenly sober up, and he actually said words begging for mercy.
After all, Gao Zhen used to be a noble person, and the guards didn't dare to be heavy-handed, so they accepted it when they saw it.
And Gao Zhen trembled and got up, and returned to the palace step by step, and on the way back, snow began to fall again, covering the blood behind him, as if to cover up all the traces.
As soon as he sat down for a while, Huang Shi led the palace people in and walked in and took the lead in saluting Gao Zhen.
"Lang Jun, at the behest of His Majesty, the slave will send you out of the palace."
"Out of the palace?" Gao Zhen was shocked at first, and then said indifferently: "Okay." ”
Huang Shi held a blue brocade box in both hands and said, "This is a coil given to you by Your Majesty." ”
Gao Zhen made a full salute and said word by word: "Gao Zhen is grateful." ”
Luo Qingzhi, who returned to the county lord's mansion, came to Luo Qingrou's room, where she was embroidering the red hijab she used for her wedding, as if she was too attentive and didn't notice that someone was visiting.
Luo Qingzhi coughed, Luo Qingrou turned her head to see her sister, and immediately smiled, calling out, "Sister." ”
Looking at Luo Qingrou's embroidered wedding with such joy, she didn't know how to speak for a while, and told her that the emperor had prepared an edict to dissolve the marriage between the two, just wait for dawn and let Zhongshu save the edict.
As if seeing Luo Qingzhi's hesitation, Luo Qingrou took the initiative to speak and asked, "Sister, what happened when you entered the palace today?" ”
Luo Qingzhi was silent for a while and said, "Arou, Your Majesty will issue an edict tomorrow to cancel your marriage with the crown prince." ”
Luo Qingrou's eyebrows lowered, the silver needle in her hand stabbed her fingers, and she let out an "ah" and covered her hand. Luo Qingzhi took her hand in a panic and checked.
"Sister, I know, this marriage was originally forced, Arou is just a concubine, how can she be worthy of the prince's brother." Luo Qingrou said.
Luo Qingzhi put the needle and thread back in the basket and said solemnly: "Nonsense, my Arou is worthy of any Langjun in the world." After thinking about it, he added: "But the prince's identity is embarrassing, and it is not suitable for Arou." ”
Luo Qingrou was silent, looked at Luo Qingzhi, and asked, "Sister promised me to protect the prince's brother, do you still count." ”
"Of course." Luo Qingzhi did not hesitate and answered affirmatively.
As if she had received a positive answer, Luo Qingrou smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, I will always believe in my sister." ”
Luo Qingrou accepted this matter so quickly, but it made Luo Qingzhi a little puzzled, she tentatively asked, "Arou, how have you been doing in the past ten years?" ”
Luo Qingrou nodded and said, "Okay, as the younger sister of the county lord of Anning, no one snubbed me. ”
"Young master." The wind whistled outside the door from the south.
"If my sister has something, let's deal with it first, I'm really fine." Luo Qingrou said.
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "I'll be a little busy these days, I can't accompany you, if you want to go out, you must remember to bring guards." ”
After Luo Qingzhi finished explaining, she got up to leave, and just after walking a few steps, Luo Qingrou stopped her and said, "Sister, you still have to discuss things so late, but do you want to have some supper?" ”
"The kitchen will be ready, you rest early." Luo Qingzhi said and took a few more steps.
Luo Qingrou said again: "I remember that my sister likes to eat osmanthus cakes very much, I'll go buy some." ”
With a sigh, Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, remember to go to the one outside the imperial city, the taste is the most authentic." ”
The charcoal fire that had been lit in the study made the room warm like a summer day, and Luo Qingzhi untied the clothes she was wearing.
Feng Zinan stretched out his hand to take it and asked cautiously: "The county lord really doesn't need to follow when he goes out so late?" ”
"I don't need it tonight," Luo Qingzhi asked, and then emphasized, saying: "It's just that I don't need it tonight, besides, Arou will have to have someone to protect her wherever she goes in the future, but it's good to be in the dark, don't scare her." ”
After finishing speaking, Feng Zinan seemed to be puzzled, but he didn't ask much, after Luo Qingzhi sat down, Feng Zinan began to report.
"Yuzhou news, Shi Shuoyue, the eldest princess of Jin'an, has already selected a horse, and the horse is just a white coat."
"Baiyi," Luo Qingzhi said unclearly, "Interesting, you can check the matter of this colt more." ”
"Yes."
Feng Zinan took out a piece of paper and continued: "The list of surviving former Qin remnants in Jinling City is here. ”
Luo Qingrou took it, glanced at it, and asked, "Is there anyone suspicious?" ”
Feng Zinan shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”
Luo Qingzhi put the list on the bookcase, and said in a low voice: "When my father led the army to destroy the former Qin, all the people in his royal family were martyred, and most of the remaining officials and people chose to surrender, and those who did not want to let them go to Jiaozhou to live in peace, and they have been supervised by the imperial court for generations, and there has been no change in the past 30 years, but who gave this thyme to Concubine Shu?" ”
"It's not easy for us to install people in the palace, and we really can't find it for a while." The wind replied from the south.
How could a person in the inner palace have the medicine of Qianqin, if this person is still in the palace, then Gao Yan is still very dangerous in the palace.
"Has Concubine Shu's identity been checked?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"Checked, she is from a tailor's family in Xiangzhou, because she saved Emperor Xuan back then, first gave marriage to His Majesty, and then ......" Speaking of this, Feng Zinan paused for a while.
Luo Qingzhi nodded, her eyes were lonely, and she said: "Then it was taken away by the first emperor, and Your Majesty used such an excuse to plan for many years and seize the first emperor's country." ”
And in that palace change, Luo Qingzhi lost his father, Luo Huaiyi, the king of Pingbei.
Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes, sighed shallowly, Feng Zinan didn't say much, just looked at Luo Qingzhi slightly, thinking that she was only in her early twenties that year, and when she received the news of Luo Huaiyi's accident in Yuzhou, she was sad and panicked, but the fifteen-year-old girl felt her father breathing in her arms.
Since then, Luo Qingzhi has changed from a hearty and bright girl to a powerful guard, with more and more power and fewer smiles.
In every battle, she went into battle in person, not only to prove her ability, but also to maintain the spirit of the Luo family.
"Is there anything else you need me to know?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Feng Zinan came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Fan has sent a message, the affairs outside the Saiwai have been prepared, and he can pick up Tai ...... at any time", "Take Gao Langjun over." ”
Luo Qingzhi said: "Okay, just let Mr. prepare." ”
She felt that she had to let Gao Zhen leave Jinling as soon as possible, otherwise she really couldn't protect him.
Feng Zinan said, "Yes." ”
Luo Qingzhi continued: "Within three days, I want all the information of the ministers of the DPRK and China. ”
“...... Be. ”
Outside the Imperial City of Jinling
Gao Zhen carried the burden on his back, walked step by step in the wind and snow, and as soon as he walked through the moat, he saw the familiar frame in front of him, the car belonging to the Luo family, and he suddenly accelerated his pace with some joy.
Luo Qingrou in the carriage walked out slowly, and after the two looked at each other, Gao Zhen turned from joy to disappointment, and Luo Qingrou replaced the happy mood.
"Brother Prince." Luo Qingrou called and stepped out of the carriage.
Gao Zhen saluted slightly and said, "The county lord can't call me like this, now I'm just a white cloth." ”
Luo Qingrou's eyes were firm, and she said, "No matter when, you are the prince's brother who saved me when I was a child." ”
Gao Zhen laughed a little to himself, and said, "The county lord and the county lord are really different. ”
He thought to himself, "One always remembers the things of his youth, and the other never remembers his promises." ”
The maidservant came over with a lantern, and under the halo, Luo Qingrou found the injury on Gao Zhen's face, and asked in a panic: "What's the matter with the injury on your face?" ”
Gao Zhen shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
Caiyi reminded in a whisper, saying, "County Lord, we have been out for a long time, and the County Lord will be worried." ”
Hearing the word "county lord", Gao Zhen's eyes brightened a little, and he said in a weak voice: "I have nowhere to go." ”
Luo Qingrou said, "Come back to the county lord's mansion with me." ”
“...... No," Caiyi stopped, and said: "County Lord, no, Gao Langjun is now a person His Majesty dislikes, no." ”
“......”
Gao Zhen lowered his head, crossed the master and servant, Luo Qingrou pulled his sleeve, and said, "I will hide it from my sister, too, Brother Zhen will go back with me." ”
