Chapter 162
After Wei Li learned that Chu Luan was also going to enter the palace for a banquet, although he didn't agree very much, he didn't stop Chu Luan. First, Chu Luan always stays in the mansion and is not good for his body; Second, so many things have happened, and there is only one Qin Kite left by Chu Luan's best friend, so it is reasonable to congratulate him.
It's just that the night before entering the palace, Wei Li still took the trouble to tell Chu Luan to be careful.
Listening to Wei Li's instructions, Chu Luan was very weak-hearted, and the whole person was nested in Wei Li's arms, not daring to raise his head and look directly into the other party's eyes, and even said angrily as if evading, "Oh, you are so nagging." ”
Wei Li, who was innocently suspected, was not annoyed, but buried his head, stuck to Chu Luan, and pretended to be a little threatening, "I'm annoyed so soon, you annoy me?" Well? ”
In front of Chu Luan, Wei Li is always the same as back then, and he ignores the discord between the two that should not be ignored, and he has always been extremely gentle with Chu Luan. This point always made Chu Luan not know what to do, when they met again after five years of separation, Chu Luan thought that Wei had changed greatly, not to mention that he regarded himself as an enemy, and he should die of old age and never get along, but he forgave himself again and again.
In this way, Chu Luan felt even more guilty, but she couldn't say it to Wei Li, so she could only bury everything in her heart. had told Wei Li before that she would not hide anything from him anymore, but now it seems that she has broken her promise after all.
"Ah Luan." Wei Li gently rested his head on Chu Luan's shoulder, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you say our child is a boy or a girl?" ”
Chu Luan's whole body froze, as if she was trying her best to endure something, and after a long time, she lowered her head, looked at the hands that unconsciously covered her lower abdomen, and shook her head, "I don't know." ”
"Luan, why don't you ...... We don't want this kid, do we? Wei Li said in a muffled voice.
Chu Luan immediately turned his head and looked at Wei Li in disbelief, beating a drum in his heart, for fear that the other party would see something.
Wei Li saw the surprise in Chu Luan's eyes, thinking that she was frightened by her words, and hurriedly explained: "I heard that women are more than lucky when they give birth to children, and I don't want you to have anything to do." ”
"But you...... Haven't you always wanted to have a child of your own? ”
Wei Li shook his head, "Luoyin is your child, and naturally it is also my child." When I talk to her these days, she is not as wary as she was at the beginning, and I think sooner or later she will be willing to call me Daddy. ”
Chu Luan was completely stunned, and when she decided to be with Wei Li, Chu Luan thought about how she should reconcile with Wei Li if she couldn't accept Luo Yin in the future, but she didn't want to be here in Wei Li, but she was worried about whether Luo Yin could accept him.
For a while, Chu Luan couldn't tell whether he was more moved or more annoyed, his eyes were quietly red, and he threw himself into Wei Li's arms, wrapping his hands around the other party's waist, but his mouth was blaming, "Are you stupid!" Do you know what you're talking about? Is it really worth it? ”
Wei Li didn't answer, but threw the question to Chu Luan again, "What about you?" ”
"What?" Chu Luan didn't react for a while.
"Luan, I remember everything you said." Wei Li said, "I remember your eagerness for revenge; Remember your dedication to realizing the wishes of the national teachers; I also remember the firmness that you want to return to Gangnam. But you're still staying for me, is it really worth it? ”
Jiangnan, this word seems to have not been heard from other people's mouths for a long time, and it always seems to surround her. To this day, Chu Luan doesn't know whether he is still attached to that side of the Pure Land.
In the end, Chu Luan did not answer the question of whether he was worth it or not.
Wei Li and Chu Luan entered the palace together, but before the two of them arrived at the hall where the banquet was held, Qin Yuan's former personal maid Cui'er stopped Chu Luan first, saying that Qin Yuan invited her to go to her palace to talk for a while.
Chu Luan didn't think about it, and informed Wei Li and followed.
Cui'er led her to Qin Yuan's palace, and there was a huge plaque of "Forget Worry Palace" on the door of the palace. As soon as I entered, I found that the specifications inside were almost catching up with the residence of the Minister of Sanpin.
Chu Luan glanced at it and found that the maids working in the palace were all busy with their own affairs with their heads down, and they didn't dare to look at it at will. She asked casually, "Is there a way for the concubine to rule?" ”
When Cui'er heard this, she didn't say much, just nodded.
Then, the two came to the main hall, and Cui'er knocked on the door of the palace twice, "Niangniang, Princess Yongning has arrived." ”
"Please let her in." A lazy female voice came from the hall.
Cui'er opened the door and gave up her seat, and after Chu Luan entered, she consciously closed the door and stayed outside.
As soon as Chu Luan entered, he saw Qin Yuan with his back to her, teasing the lark in the cage. If it was in the past, Qin Yuan would have directly beckoned someone to come when she saw Chu Luan coming, but now she didn't seem to notice that Chu Luan was already here, focusing on her birds, and giggling from time to time.
Chu Luan's heart was relieved, and he saluted, "Chu Luan has seen the concubine Niangniang." ”
Qin Yuan seemed to know that Chu Luan was here, and hurriedly turned around to help, and blamed him in his mouth, "Ah Luan, what are you doing?" You and I are like sisters, so why do you have to do such a false courtesy like those people? ”
"Etiquette should not be abolished."
Qin Yuan first smiled, then nodded, and said angrily, "You have always been cautious, forget it this time, don't be so cautious with me in the future." Hurry up. ”
Chu Luan got up and glanced at Qin Yuan, shocked in his heart, but quickly returned to normal. In the past, Qin Yuan had a lively temperament, although she loved beauty, but she never liked to wear those bulky and complicated clothes, but now, she was full of hairpins and rings, and the purple palace skirt on her body dragged an arm's length, and she didn't see her appearance at all.
Qin Yuan didn't know what Chu Luan was thinking, so he took someone by the hand and asked her to see the lark in the golden cage, "Ah Luan, come and see, this is a new thing I found a few days ago, and I plan to give it to him on His Majesty's birthday next time, do you think it's good?" ”
Qin Yuan has always been very interested in Murong Jin, why is it so abnormal this time?
"Your Majesty should like a piece of Niangniang's heart."
Qin Yuan was a little dissatisfied, "Ah Luan, why do you still call me that?" She sneered and let go of Chu Luan's hand, "A few days ago, Daddy's body finally became a little cooler, and he entered the palace to see me, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he called me the concubine Niangniang, just like you." ”
She looked directly into Chu Luan's eyes, her eyes were dark and uncertain, "What's wrong with all of you?" Is it because I'm a concubine that we should be rusty? ”
Chu Luan didn't answer.
Qin Yuan felt bored, and teased his bird again, "Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, the harem is still very empty, there are only me and the queen, I have never been able to go with her, I am almost suffocated." If you had chosen Your Majesty......"
"Concubine Niangniang!" Chu Luan interrupted her in time to prevent her from going on.
"What is the matter with the mother sending me over today?" Chu Luan's face showed a little gloomy, which reminded Qin Yuan of Qin Hailai, who also left her Forget Worry Palace with anger and disappointment on his face that day.
She sighed stupidly, "It's just a sister's chat, since Ah Luan doesn't want to talk about it anymore, let's stop here today." Come and send Princess Yongning. ”
Cui'er pushed the door and entered, taking a few steps forward, "Princess, please." ”
Chu Luan looked at Qin Kite's back, thought about it, took out the gift prepared in his sleeve, put it on the table, and went out first.
In a place where Chu Luan couldn't see, Qin Yuan and Cui'er looked at each other, and then Cui'er chased them out.
When everyone was out, she moved to the table, picked up the wooden box, and opened it.
A beautifully crafted red agate bracelet rests on blue silk, each agate bead is crystal round. Qin Yuan stared at it for a long time, didn't take it out, just closed the box and locked it in the small cabinet on the top of the dresser.
As soon as Chu Luan walked out of the Forgotten Worry Palace, Cui'er chased after her, and helped her reconcile with Qin Yuan, "Don't be angry, Princess, Niangniang, she is just too lonely in the palace, she has no malicious intentions." ”
"I'm not angry."
"That's good!" Cui'er said happily, "The slave has been following Niangniang since she was a child, and she knows the friendship between you and Niangniang the most. Cui'er also told a lot of past events in Jiangnan.
Chu Luan listened carefully, and he didn't even notice that the two of them had taken a completely different path than when they came.
When Chu Luan reacted, it was because he saw Ruan Qianyan.
The last time I saw Ruan Qianyan, it was in King Jin's Mansion, although she didn't seem to be in a good mood at that time, she was still very energetic, but now that she is a queen, why has she lost a lot of weight? The gorgeous clothes on his body could no longer hold up, a pair of skinny hands were exposed in the wide cuffs, his eyes were slightly sunken, and the blue and black under his eyes couldn't even cover the fat powder. The appearance of a sick and weak beauty, if it is a few more serious, the word beauty will not be visible at all.
When Cui'er saw Ruan Qianyan, she was not in a hurry to salute, but cautiously urged Chu Luan to go another way.
Chu Luan felt strange, "Why do you want to take a detour?" ”
Cui'er glanced at Ruan Qianyan with her eyes in fear, and said in a low voice, "Everyone in the palace is rumoring that the queen mother has been possessed by evil spirits recently, behaves perversely, talks crazy things, and even hurts people!" She has some old grudges with the princess, and because of the mother, what should you do if you do it to the princess for a while and hurt the little princess in your stomach. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Luan scolded, she had some friendship with Ruan Qianyan, and knew that the other party was definitely not the crazy person in Cui'er's mouth, and there must be a secret in this. She thought of the Guogong Mansion again, now the Guogong Mansion is becoming more and more sluggish, even if Ruan Qianyan becomes the queen, she can't change anything, Ruan Yingying's husband Pei Di is an upright person, and he has been targeted in the court, and it was nothing to protect Chang Yibo and Zhenbei Hou before, but now, Chang Yibo is dead, and Zhenbei Hou often says that he is sick and retires from home, so he will inevitably be impeached by people with intentions.
She still walked straight over and saluted Ruan Qianyan.
Cui'er watched from the back for a while, then walked behind a rockery and secretly observed.
"Queen, how are you doing?"
Ruan Qianyan stared at Chu Luan's face for a long time before revealing a sarcastic smile, "It turned out to be you." Look at the way I look now, where is it good? ”
Indeed, Ruan Qianyan is like this, she can't even catch up with Chu Luan when she was at her worst, and there is no palace person around to serve, where is it good?
"What the hell is going on?" Chu Luan asked.
Ruan Qianyan didn't answer directly, just shook her head vigorously.
Chu Luan knew that he couldn't ask anything like this, so he changed his question, "Iris, she...... Did you do anything? ”
This time, Ruan Qianyan didn't shake her head again, but showed a bitter smile, "It's not just her." ”
It's not just her.
Chu Luan immediately guessed the mastermind behind the scenes.
Qin Yuan is Murong Jin's person, without his instructions, Qin Yuan would not do such superfluous things, after all, she didn't bother to compete with Ruan Qianyan for the position of queen at all.
"Why?"
"Why?" Ruan Qianyan seemed to hear something funny, "I also want to know why." ”
"Have you heard about the Yong'an Palace?"
Ruan Qianyan is talking about the deposed king of Yong'an and Mo Han's depreciation again and again.
Chu Luan's head.
"He's taking revenge." Ruan Qianyan's eyes were full of pain and said, "She will avenge Concubine Hu and Loulan again." ”
"No wonder, no wonder he accepted the Emperor's will so peacefully, all just to take revenge on me." Ruan Qianyan said bitterly, "But what can I do, do I have a choice?" He left me in the Xuanhe Palace, and he didn't allow the palace people to serve, and he didn't treat me badly with food and clothing, but he didn't allow anyone to say a word to me, and let Qin Yuan watch me kneel in front of the portrait of Hu Guifei every day and copy Buddhist scriptures, I was about to go crazy. ”
If you want to kill someone, you must first frustrate their will. No wonder Ruan Qianyan has become like this.
Even if Chu Luan had already seen Murong Jin's crazy appearance in his previous life from his dreams, he couldn't help but feel worried when he heard what happened to Ruan Qianyan now.
In her previous life, Ruan Qianyan had always been in a stupid state, so there was nothing between Murong Jin and her, when Murong Jin first became emperor, there was only Qin Yuan and a concubine by his side, and he didn't see Murong Jin standing up until Chu Luan died. The original development was disrupted, and Chu Luan couldn't guess what Murong Jin would do next.
Without waiting for Chu Luan to think about it, Ruan Qianyan suddenly grabbed Chu Luan's arm in a daze, and Pear Blossom pleaded with her, "Chu Luan, you can help me, for the sake of you and my cousins, you help me, I don't want to stay in the palace!" I'm going crazy, Chu Luan, you help me!"
Chu Luan was a little hurt by her, and wanted to persuade her to calm down first.
"Don't you ...... You let go first. ”
Ruan Qianyan felt Chu Luan's retreat and struggle, and her grip on Chu Luan's hand became tighter and tighter, "Chu Luan, you help me, I have fulfilled you and Xiyun, and let yourself end up like this, are you ruthless to watch me being tortured to death by them?!"
Chu Luan saw that Ruan Qianyan was getting more and more excited, and the two began to pull on the gazebo.
This pavilion is not very large, it is surrounded by water on three sides, and the two of them are close to the fence to the north, and the situation is about to get out of hand.
In the end, Chu Luan is a person who practices martial arts, and it is more than enough to deal with a Ruan Qianyan. She snapped her hand away from the other. She thought that Ruan Qianyan was blocked by a fence behind her, and she should be fine, but as soon as Ruan Qianyan hit it, the fence fell off entirely.
Rao is Chu Luan, and he was frightened by the situation in front of him.
Seeing that Ruan Qianyan was about to fall into the lake, Chu Luan hurriedly reached out and pulled the person back, but he didn't know where to step on, the soles of his feet slipped, and the whole person fell out, his forehead just hit the supporting column, and he was dizzy for a while, and he fell into the lake.
Everything happened too fast, and before Ruan Qianyan could react, Cui'er behind the rockery ran out, deliberately showing her face in front of Ruan Qianyan, and then ran away in fear, shouting in her mouth, "Help, someone, the queen has killed someone!"
Ruan Qianyan was stunned for a moment before waving her hand in fear to explain, "That's not the case, I didn't ......" She was not clear now, and she couldn't react to Chu Luan in the lake at all, so she only said that she didn't chase Cui'er at the same time.
When Chu Luan fell into the lake, he grabbed a branch hanging on the surface of the lake, so he didn't let himself sink. But the moment she just hit it was real, and her consciousness was gradually blurred. With the last of her strength, she climbed ashore and lay in the gazebo, completely unconscious.
