Chapter 128

Sending Qi Han and Murong Chuyao away safely, Chu Luan did not relax, and she had more important things to do next. But before that, she wanted to go somewhere.

From the siege of the palace to the capture of King Chen, it was not even two hours before and after. At first, he thought that the emperor had already noticed something, but then he gradually realized that something was wrong. When Mr. Chang took off his mask and appeared in front of him, King Chen's whole body was like a ghost, his eyes widened, and he stared directly at this old man with a rickety figure and a hideous face.

"Is that you?" The tone was full of shock.

Mr. Chang was not surprised, "Don't come unharmed, King Chen." ”

Before King Chen could react, Mr. Chang had already waved his hand and ordered, and Li Yu appeared at the right time to order someone to take King Chen away.

Mr. Chang looked at the situation he was now in control with satisfaction, and asked Li Yu, "Have you found Murong Chuyao?" ”

Li Yu was worried about being held accountable, so he immediately made amends, "My subordinates have ordered people to search for him with all their might, and now the entire imperial city is ours, and it is expected that he will not be able to escape from the palm of the lord's hand." ”

In fact, Mr. Murong Chuyao doesn't care whether he is alive or dead, but the national seal has not yet been obtained, even if they usurp the throne, it will be said that it is not justifiable, he has finally come to this point, and he can succeed, no one should think of standing in his way.

"What about the crown prince and the crown princess?" Mr. Chang asked suddenly.

Li Yu replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is presiding over the overall situation in the palace, as for the Crown Princess......" His eyes rolled and said ambiguously, "It seems that someone saw her leave the palace, as for where to go, I don't know." ”

Mr. Chang was surrounded by a chill, "Send someone to invite the crown princess back to see me." ”

"Yes."

Chu Luan did sneak out of the palace alone, but she did not leave the capital, nor did she deliberately hide, but came to the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.

The National Teacher's Mansion is located in a secluded place, but there used to be a few vendors passing by. Now, even when he is so flustered, there is no black magpie outside the door. There were two bright seals pasted on the vermilion gate, which stabbed Chu Luan's eyes fiercely. She didn't step forward to remove it, nor did she intend to go inside the door to take a look. He stood there alone, motionless as if he had been in a state of flux.

She still didn't have the courage to face it.

A sound of footsteps woke her up, and she turned her head sharply.

But it was Wei Changlin.

Chu Luan knew that most of them were sent by Mr. Chang.

She quickly restrained her emotions and walked in the direction of the palace without saying a word.

Wei Changlin didn't know whether to say that she felt good, or if she was too guarded.

"I looked for a lot of places, but I didn't expect you to be here."

Chu Luan diverted the topic, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, I have notified the Zhenbei Houfu and the Yongning Palace."

Wei Changlin looked at Chu Luan's faster and faster pace, and didn't know what to say, but he didn't want to be so silent every time he was with her, so he said dryly, "Be careful, don't go too quickly." ”

Chu Luan still ignored it.

Wei Changlin knew that she was still blaming him, and had reminded himself several times not to follow Mr. Chang again, but he still chose to continue to work for Mr. Chang, and later affected her. Regarding Chu Luan's compromise for him, Wei Changlin was half happy and half jealous, he was pleased that Chu Luan valued him, but he was jealous that all this was just inheriting Wei Wei's kindness.

As soon as Chu Luan returned to the palace, he went to see Mr. Chang, this time not in a dark cave, nor in a dim place, but in the candle-lit imperial study.

Mr. Chang sat on the dragon chair, and Murong Yu stood beside him. The two looked at Chu Luan with scrutiny in their eyes.

The corners of Chu Luan's mouth pulled up a smile, and he folded his hands and saluted, "The child has seen his father-in-law." ”

Murong Yu has always hated Chu Luan, and at this moment, he opened his mouth to question, "Chu Luan, you are really not a fuel-efficient lamp." Where the hell are you hiding your father? ”

Chu Luan looked innocent, "Didn't the prince say it, that's your father, if you say that it is most likely to hide Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's you." After all, in the current situation, whoever gets the national seal is the new emperor. "She doesn't have to deal with the two of them anymore, and it would be better if she could use this to make them fight among themselves.

"Zi Luo has confessed, saying that today my father summoned you to interrogate alone, but the people behind you can't find it, you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you!" Murong Yu tore open the mask, revealing his vicious fangs.

Chu Luan didn't panic, slowly paced to the other side of Mr. Chang, picked a place closer to Mr. Chang and deliberately said loudly, "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so anxious, I really don't know if you are in a hurry to find the national seal or your father?" If it's the latter, I advise the prince not to bother, you are not His Majesty's bloodline in the first place, so why waste this heart. ”

Murong Yu was so agitated that he also raised his voice, "Chu Luan, you don't have to clear yourself!" If it weren't for you to send your father away, how could Chu Xu suddenly turn around and break out of the city with his Qilin Army and Wei Li's Iron Lion Horse. How dare you say you didn't do anything! ”

Mr. Chang, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, pressed his temples and said in a deep voice, "You all shut up for me!" ”

A mouthful of a father, emperor, majesty, is it really considered that he is dead? And say it so loudly, for fear that he won't hear it?!

Mr. Chang didn't say who to believe, and he didn't ask Chu Luan for details. He stood up, stared at her for a long time, and sighed, "Ah Luan, don't forget who accepted you when you were in prison. ”

It sounds a bit threatening.

"The kindness of the father-in-law, Chu Luan is unforgettable." She was grateful on her face and sneered in her heart.

"Murong Chuyao's affairs, I can ignore it. But after all, you are very suspicious of this matter, and as compensation, you will help me persuade the courtiers to support me as the new emperor. ”

Chu Luan's forced smile completely froze on his face.

But Mr. Chang was not finished, and continued, "If someone resists, you don't have to be embarrassed, and I don't need to teach you the truth of killing a hundred people." ”

"Let me think about it, why don't you start with the Ruan family." Mr. Chang looked at her playfully, "Don't be soft-hearted. ”

Chu Luan never thought that Mr. Chang would be so vicious, let her personally attack her mother's family, and fall into the point of disloyalty and unfilial piety. But if you don't, everything you've planned will be in vain.

"Okay, Chu Luan is subject to his father-in-law's arrangement."

Mr. Chang nodded with satisfaction, "So that we can have no scruples about each other." ”

Mr. Chang waved his hand, and the waiter at the door walked up with a tray with a jade pot on the plate.

As for what was in this jade pot, several of them knew it.

Complete the task, and everyone will be safe; If not, this pot of poisonous wine is Chu Luan's destination.

Chu Luan rushed to Ruan's house with people in the evening. Today's weather is still relatively clear, and the full moon climbs into the sky early, just waiting for night to fall completely.

The first to come out to greet him was Chang Yibo, who stood at the door in court clothes, unmoved when he saw someone coming, quietly brushing the goatee on his chin.

Chu Luan rode a red colt, and he didn't mean to get off the horse for a long time. It's the secret guards below, everyone with their hands on the hilt, ready to do it at any time.

Today is destined not to be peaceful.

Wei Changlin was afraid that it would drag on for too long, and his brotherhood would complain, and he also stepped forward to persuade Chu Luan to make a quick decision, "Mr. Chang already suspects you, and you can't keep them today." He also knew that no matter how indifferent Chu Luan was, he would not do anything to his relatives, so he said thoughtfully, "You can stand aside for a while, act like you don't know anything, and I will help you solve it." ”

Over the years, no matter what Wei Changlin said, Chu Luan had never dealt with him. At this moment, she glanced at him and mercilessly rejected his proposal in front of everyone, "Stand down!" ”

The two sides were at a stalemate, and even Chang Yibo couldn't wait any longer, so he took the initiative to ask: "Chu Luan, when you see your uncle, why don't you get off the horse and meet you, is this your rule as a junior?" ”

"Chu Luan, what are you doing today? persuade me to surrender to the traitor? In vain, you are also a descendant of the Ruan family and the Chu family, and you have done such a disloyal and unrighteous thing, admitting a thief as your father, have you eaten all these years of Gangchang ethics in the stomach of a dog! ”

Chang Yibo was furious, and he counted Chu Luan's crimes there, nailing her to the pillar of shame of treason and collaboration with the enemy in his heart. Seeing that Chu Luan not only did not complain or be angry, but even ignored himself throughout the whole process, he was even more annoyed, and his brain was hot for a while, and he couldn't help but scold, "You are also worthy of standing in front of the Ruan family!" ”

Even if he was so accused, Chu Luan still couldn't see half of the anger on his face, "What my uncle said is that Chu Luan knows that he is guilty and is not worthy of standing in front of the Ruan family. As he spoke, he took the reins and spun around in front of him.

Chang Yibo was very angry, and pointed at Chu Luan for a long time, but he couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

"Uncle." Chu Luan leaned forward slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and said casually, "Chu Luan still recognizes you as an uncle, but he doesn't want to do things absolutely, if you are willing to take the initiative to submit, I will go to ask my father-in-law to let you go, maybe, you can also be added to the knighthood." Otherwise, you have also seen the fate of King Chen. With that, his right hand made an exaggerated and threatening gesture around his neck.

Chang Yi Bo is upright, he hates the treacherous person the most in this life, and he will never be obedient.

Pity him for being an elegant and civil servant, and he will even smack people in public, "Phew! Who is rare about his broken copper and iron, I, Ruan Xu, will never bow my head to treachery in this life! ”

Chu Luan admired Chang Yibo's integrity and loyalty, but he also felt a headache because he was too rigid. Mr. Chang was originally suspicious of her, but today he arranged so many people to supervise her, and it was clear that he wanted to make Chu Luan show "loyalty", even if she saw that the Ruan family was about to go to a desperate situation, she couldn't make a move.

can only persuade again, trying to calm the other party, "You refuse to submit, then have you thought about what the other family members of the Ruan family should do?" ”

Chang Yibo was speechless.

"I remember that Ruan Yingying's child had just turned old. Do you want that child to be imprisoned with you or beheaded? ”

"So what!" Pei Di also came out with the Ruan family.

Old Mrs. Ruan was supported by Ah Xiu, and her other son Ruan Wen and daughter Ruan Ning stood beside her, and the old lady was still holding Ruan Qing's spiritual seat in her hand. Ruan Wen held the spiritual seat of the old prince in his hand. Standing behind are Ruan Qianyan, Ruan Yingying and other juniors and side branches, roughly counting, the Ruan family is up and down, nearly a hundred people.

I haven't seen the old lady for a long time, her hair is all white, and her whole person is not as sharp as she was at the beginning, and she speaks tremblingly, for fear that the bones in her whole body will fall apart if she tries hard.

"Ah Luan, Ah ......"

Chu Luan didn't expect that the first sentence she said was such an intimate title.

"You asked people to treat me before, and I haven't had time to thank you." The old lady's eyes were slightly hot, half apologetic and half regretful, "Ah Luan, are you taking revenge on us now?" ”

Get you back?

Chu Luan couldn't help laughing, who was taking revenge on whom.

She was in a dilemma, because of whom?

"Ah Luan, if you still hate me, I can make amends for you." The old lady held back her tears and tried her best to maintain a loving side in front of Chu Luan.

"Mother! You are an elder, how can you admit your mistakes to juniors? Chang Yibo was quite dissatisfied.

The old lady ignored him and continued to persuade Chu Luan, "I know that you are a good boy, and your brothers and sisters are all good boys, and they will accept you." Go back, stop aiding the abuse, and if someone has to bear the consequences, let me go. Luan, I'm sorry for you, it's good if you come at me alone, and I won't let them trouble you. ”

For a while, more than 100 people gathered around, saying warm words, and the door frame could hardly support their family affection.

Chu Luan, who was quite calm, completely lost his mind.

Speaking of which, she still protects them and excludes herself, she will always be an outsider!

"I'm afraid the old lady has misunderstood." Chu Luan ruthlessly interrupted them, "Who can remember that little thing for a lifetime?" Chu Luan is only here to persuade you to submit to my father-in-law today. As for these so-called brothers and sisters, Chu Luan didn't dare to climb high. ”

"Uncle, you better make a decision quickly, you have a lot of family, and it's hard to kill, why don't you choose a more trouble-free road?"

"You can say that too! You ......" Chang Yibo was about to rush out and reason with Chu Luan as he spoke, but before the words could be spoken, the person had already fallen, and a cold arrow went straight into his chest.

Chu Luan turned back to find the murderer.

I saw Murong Yu standing in the attic of the building behind her, holding a golden bow in his hand.

Without waiting for Chu Luan to question, Murong Yu had already raised his hand and quickly waved it down, and all the dark guards drew their scimitars one after another and attacked the door.
