Chapter Ninety-Five: Ming Lishu's Dying Struggle
After Ming Lanying returned home, Hebai also took Ning Er and the wolf cub back from outside, Ning Er didn't even have time to wipe the sweat, and pounced directly on Ming Lan Ying.
"Mother! Is the little prince's brother good-looking? ”
Ye Jielu took the first step to pick up his sweaty son, and Ming Lanying took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his head.
"Good-looking, as good-looking as Ning'er, and very well-behaved, the queen said that I must take you to see my little brother next time."
Ning Er happily responded, struggling to get off Ye Juelu's arm, "I'm a big kid now, I can't let my father hug me, otherwise the little prince's brother will laugh." ”
Ye Jielu indulged him and rubbed the little tugs on the top of Ning Er's head, "The little prince is called Cong, Wang Zongcong's Cong, have you written it down?" ”
Ning Er nodded vigorously, Hebai pondered this word, and always felt that he couldn't remember it for a while when he saw it.
"Sister-in-law, does this word mean anything?"
"yes, see for yourself."
Hebai snorted dissatisfiedly, and drove Ning'er and the wolf cub to wash, "Sister-in-law, Ming's family has been raided and will be executed next month, Ming Zhengqing, this old thing, pleaded for his own fruitlessness, so I want to come to you, you have been careful when you go out recently." ”
Ming Lanying said coldly: "This is the emperor's will, what's the use of me pleading?" ”
Hebai smiled and watched Xiao San fly down on Ming Lanying's arm and beg for a touch, "Because you are still there in the Ming family, and your husband is a loyal minister of the emperor's side, he can only beg you." ”
Ming Lan Ying teased Hai Dongqing twice and let it fly to play with the cuckoo, "Then you go and tell Steward Wang, when Ming Zhengqing comes, he will say that I am not there, don't let people in." ”
"Gotcha!"
Ye Jielu accompanied Ming Lanying to change her clothes, drank tea in the small garden and read the script, the common stories of fairies and mortals, and when she saw that fairies were also troubled by family disputes, she was suddenly stunned.
If she remembers correctly, Ming Langtao is also a member of the Ming family, and the Ming family is not connected to the nine clans, so what about Ming Langtao?
Ming Langtao is Aunt Meng's son, Meng Huaisu's aunt, the Ming family's big house has been reduced to a waste, where is Aunt Meng?
Ming Lanying put down the script violently, "Ye Juelu, where is Aunt Meng?" ”
Ye Jielu saw her looking at the script and suddenly asked where Aunt Meng went, and before she could react, she heard Ming Lanying babbling, "Ming Zhengqing was demoted to a wasted person, and he couldn't do anything, those concubines were all sold, Ming Langtao was his son, and now he can't reach him because of the emperor's special needs, so what about Aunt Meng?" Meng Huaisu and Dong Xia are still in the same place! Will Aunt Meng be involved in Meng Huaisu? ”
Ye Jielu poured her a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her, and said calmly: "Don't worry, it won't involve Meng Huaisu, Aunt Meng was picked up by Ming Langtao and stuffed." ”
Ming Lanying drank tea for a moment, and Ye Jielu continued: "As I said before, he and the emperor applied to go to Biansai to be the prefect for a lifetime, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without a recall, and he also betrayed his grandfather and took refuge in the emperor, and begged the emperor to leave the Ming family's big house for his life. ”
"This is all Meng Huaisu's idea for him, the people in the Ming family's big house have been kept in the dark, they don't know anything, the emperor will leave them alive, Ming Zhengqing's concubines are all classified as slaves and sold, and Aunt Meng was taken to the side early in the morning. Ming Langtao is far away from the border, and with a piece of freedom that belongs to him, he also has the ability to protect Aunt Meng after the Ming family falls. ”
"Ming Langtao deliberately wants to get out of this worldly red dust, and it is also because of Aunt Meng, you will be able to see her when you return to Biansai, and you will know when you meet."
Ming Lanying tilted her head suspiciously and thought, "Is Aunt Meng a very Buddha-like person?" ”
Ye Juelu pondered for a moment, "What is Buddha nature?" Compassion? She's not very kind, she's scheming, but she really doesn't like to fight. ”
It's all to live in the cannibalistic Ming family, if it weren't for Ming Zhengqing's forcible seizure, Aunt Meng would not have secretly communicated with that old guy Ming Zhaofeng, and gave birth to Ming Langtao.
Ye Juelu didn't tell her Ming Langtao's true life experience, more things are better than less, "Ming Langtao seems to have been carefully taught by Ming Zhaofeng since he was a child, in fact, Aunt Meng has a lot of influence on him, even if he has a few wives and concubines, he is also focused on outside the red dust, this time the Ming family fell, he didn't want to save anyone, he only took Aunt Meng, and now Aunt Meng should be almost there." ”
Ming Lanying was surprised, "The emperor can let him go, won't it be because Ming Langtao wants to become a monk?" ”
Ye Juelu nodded, it was really true.
Ming Lanying was relieved, "Since Aunt Meng is not a bad person, then Dongxia and Meng Huaisu should be able to succeed." ”
Ye Jielu smiled, "Dong Xia wrote to you?" ”
Ming Lanying spread her hands helplessly, "We have dragged on in the capital for too long, Dongxia and Meng Huaisu can't wait for us to go back, and the gossip over there can't be controlled, Meng Huaisu and Zhao Taiyi are angry, and directly and generously hold a marriage ceremony, and half of the three books and six ceremonies have passed, and the wedding date has been set, just waiting for us to go back to watch the ceremony." ”
Ming Lanying held her chin and took a sip of tea, "It's just that Aunt Meng doesn't know about this marriage, I'm afraid she will have an opinion on Dong Xia." ”
Ye Jielu shook his head, "No, she is just Meng Huaisu's aunt, she has always been strict and pampered to Meng Huaisu, Dong Xia is the person Meng Huaisu chooses herself, and Aunt Meng will not interfere." ”
"That's good."
Ming Lanying put down her heart and continued to read the script, and Hebai hung upside down from the beam of the house again, startling Ming Lanying.
"Sister-in-law! Ming Lishu wants to see you! ”
The words in Ming Lanying's hand subconsciously pasted on her face, "Why do you have you every day every day!" ”
Hebai hurriedly caught the script, and with a force on his waist, he turned over deftly and sat cross-legged at her feet.
"Walk the roof fast! Later, the king's steward will come. ”
As soon as Hebai's words fell, Steward Wang hurried over the moon gate with small steps.
"Madame, Prince Heng handed over a post and wanted to invite you to the palace."
After the year, Prince Heng was demoted to a concubine before the holy decree was announced to the world, the emperor was happy to have a son, in a good mood, let him finally be the honorable Prince Heng for a few more months, and then use the rest of his life to reminisce about these months.
Everyone in Prince Heng's mansion can't come out, and Ming Lishu can only invite Ming Lanying to come over with her sisterhood, the reason, of course, is that she doesn't want to die, and exile with Prince Heng for 3,000 miles is equivalent to slowly tossing to death.
Ming Lanying wanted to refuse, but as soon as she opened the letter written by Ming Lishu herself, she paused again.
"Okay, prepare the carriage, go now."
Steward Wang answered and went to prepare the carriage, and Ye Jielu saw that her face was not good, and his sword eyebrows frowned.
"What did she write?"
Hebai stretched his neck on the side, and Ming Lanying handed the letter to Ye Jielu to read.
Hebai shook her legs coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, what is written?" The radical law let you go? ”
Ye Jielu rubbed his big hand, threw the paper ball into the stove where the tea was boiling, and burned it to ashes with a poof.
"Ming Lishu knows a lot."
Ming Lanying grabbed Hebai's little face with one hand, "My mother was not so simply angry to death. ”
Hebai was stunned, Ming Lanying's mother was Ming Zhengqing's original partner, but she was later angry with Jiang Ruyu, she knew about it, but now Ming Lishu suddenly said that there was a secret in the matter of the year, let her go over at this time, Hebai intuitively felt that she had bad intentions.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
"Okay." Ming Lanying glanced at Ye Jielu, who wanted to speak, "You don't have to go, just clean up the house if you have nothing to do in the past two days, mention it to the emperor, and hurry back." ”
Ye Jielu silently swallowed what he wanted to say, "...... Good. ”
Ming Lishu asked her to go alone, but Ming Lanying didn't care about this, so she wouldn't be so stupid and put herself in danger.
The carriage went out through the back door, and Hebai caught a glimpse of Ming Zhengqing wandering outside the Commander's Mansion, and hurriedly lowered the curtain.
"Sister-in-law, Ming Zhengqing has been squatting on you."
Ming Lanying half-closed her eyes, "Let him squat, anyway, I don't see it, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Tsurubai sneered, "When they pushed you to my brother, they probably never thought that there would be a time to beg you today. ”
Ming Lanying hooked her lips and smiled, she just wanted to explain when she went to see Ming Lishu, as for whether it was true or not, and helping Prince Heng intercede, it had nothing to do with her.
"They thought that Ye Jielu would kill me, and they stole their hands, but Ye Jielu was stunned and put up with me for so many years......"
Hebai had never seen the previous Minglan warbler, and only thought that the current Minglan warbler was the best.
"Sister-in-law, those previous rumors are all false, and you don't match the rumors at all! How can you say that my brother has endured you for so many years? Obviously, you put up with my brother's wooden head for so many years! ”
Ming Lanying smiled and didn't explain, "Can you lurk on the beam of the house later?" ”
"Yes, there are no guards in Prince Heng's mansion now, and it is casual to sneak in with my martial arts!"
"Okay, then you can stay on the beam of the house later, if she really wants to do something to me, she will show up."
Hebai nodded, after all, it was not ruled out that Ming Lishu would take Ming Lanying hostage or assassinate Ming Lanying in retaliation.
Only the Praetorian Guards were left outside Prince Heng's mansion, and as soon as Ming Lanying got out of the carriage, they recognized it as the commander's wife, and hurriedly respectfully invited someone in.
One person took Ming Lanying to see Ming Lishu, and stayed outside the door and didn't leave, "Please rest assured, Madame, if there is an accident, just call your subordinates directly, or drop the cup, I will rush in as soon as I hear the movement." ”
Ming Lanying didn't expect the Praetorian Guards to be so caring, "Okay, hard work." ”
The door was lightly closed, and Ming Lanying saw Ming Lishu, who was sitting in the first place in a gorgeous dress, and her face was still a little haggard after not seeing her for a long time.
Ming Lanying slowly sat down to the farthest position, strolled and said wholeheartedly: "Say hello to Prince Heng and Princess Heng." ”
In Ming Lishu's ears, she was sarcastic, and Ming Lishu's delicate face distorted for a moment, "Ming Lanying, I am still Prince Heng and Princess Heng!" How dare you not bow to me! ”
Ming Lanying looked at her lazily with her feet crossed, "Prince Heng should be sober, when are you still thinking about your glory and wealth?" Still thinking about your princess position? Didn't you call me here now because you asked me? ”
Ming Lishu glared at her, and squeezed the armrest of the chair fiercely to restrain her emotions, "Yes, you must be very nervous now, right?" The Ming family is gone, and the Ming family now relies on you, an outcast, to intercede to save their lives. ”
Ming Lanying shook her head twice, "You're thinking too much, what's the matter with me if the Ming family is gone?" I am now Mrs. Ye, the emperor and the queen nodded in agreement, Ye, husband, and people. ”
Ming Lishu panicked, frowned and asked her, "What do you mean?" You don't want to save the Ming family!? ”
Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "Why should I save the Ming family?" Anyway, Ming Zhengqing can't die, he is still alive for a day, and I won't have any stigma of unfilial piety, the Ming family died in the second and third rooms, and there is also a traitor Ming Zhaofeng who colluded and rebelled. ”
Ming Lishu slapped the table and stood up, "Ming Lanying, you're crazy!" ”
Ming Lanying waved her hand, "Don't be so excited, it's not that I hurt the Ming family, besides, now that the Ming family is not here, what does it have to do with you, Prince Heng, the princess?" You are a Prince Heng tied together. ”
Minglishu's chest rose and fell, staring at Ming Lanying and wanting to eat her alive, "It's all you and your annoying man!" Why didn't you die with your slut mother in the first place! ”
Ming Lanying's smile faded, and her eyes turned cold, "My mother was not angry with Jiang Heyu, who of you did it?" ”
Ming Lishu saw her face change, so she felt a little happy, and laughed twice, "Your mother's idiot, she didn't know that the pillow person she trusted poisoned her, do you really think that the concubines are so kind?" ”
Ming Lanying looked at her coldly, and Ming Lishu only felt happy, "You don't believe it? You can go to the prison and ask, you go and ask Qin Meiyan, you go and ask Qi Ningshuang, you go and ask Ming Zhenglian! They all know that when Ming Zhengqing married your mother back with that useless thing, it was just for her dowry, and when the dowry was moved to the name of the Ming family, of course that stupid woman would be useless. ”
Ming Lanying's eyes darkened, "You tell me this, do you want the Ming family to die faster?" ”
Ming Lishu told her that these didn't just want her to be angry, and then go to Ye Jielu to sue her, so that the Ming family would die faster? It didn't do her any good.
Ming Lishu's face changed, and her carefully painted beautiful eyes stared at her, "I also know who gave your mother the five poisons in her body, you can know who said that your mother's killer enemy, and I also know where your mother's dowry is left, but I have one condition." ”
Ming Lanying's eyelids drooped, her face remained unchanged, and Ming Lishu gritted her teeth, "You have to ensure that the prince stays in the capital and can't go into exile." ”
It is irreversible to be demoted to a concubine, but exile can have room for maneuver, exile for 3,000 miles is the whole journey with shackles, and it can also kill people along the way, it is better to continue to stay in the capital as an idler, and wait for the prince to regroup.
Ming Lanying chuckled, slowly raised her eyelashes to look at her, and the sarcasm in her eyes deeply stabbed Ming Lishu.
"How much do you think I can trust you?"
Ming Lishu raised her hand and was about to swear, Ming Lanying stroked her palms and laughed, "For the sake of your prince, you even gave up the Ming family, and asked me to come here just to protect your prince, how much do you like Prince Heng?" ”
Ming Lishu stared at her and didn't speak, with madness brewing in her eyes, and Ming Lanying stood up with her support on the table.
"I'm surprised that you fell in love with Prince Heng, but this matter has nothing to do with me, my mother was killed by the Ming family, and now the Ming family will be killed by Ling Chi and beheaded, which can be regarded as revenge for my mother, as for the dowry that was defiled by you, it should have been ruined by you for so many years, I don't care, anyway, all the property of your Ming family will be filled into the treasury."
Ming Lanying looked at her coldly, "It's useless for you to beg me, there are still a few months left to be the princess, enjoy it, farewell." ”
Ming Lishu's heart was crossed, and when Ming Lanying turned around to leave, she pulled out the dagger from her sleeve and rushed towards her back.
"Since you can't help me, then I'll take your corpse and talk to Ye Jielu!"
