Chapter 161. Fall
"I heard about you." King Guojun said in a low voice, "You seem to be disheartened? ”
"Everything here is very dirty, and it's still the cleanest in my Baijun Garden." Ye Lanyi looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see the Old Summer Palace through the high city wall.
King Guojun looked at her side face, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said slowly: "Do you remember that year?" Your fever and dying. ”
"Yes." Ye Lanyi blurted out, "It was seven years ago, I was so sick that I was dying, and no one paid attention to a lowly slave like me, it was the prince who accidentally saw me and let the imperial doctor save me." After many years, she is still full of gratitude.
"When I saved you, I didn't want to see you give up on yourself today." King Guojun persuaded.
"But what can I do?" Ye Lanyi almost trembled and resisted, but he couldn't do anything, "I can't go where I want to go, and the place where I stay makes me sick and desperate." ”
"You have to protect yourself first. The Ye Lanyi in my impression has a beautiful smile and a resolute personality, no matter how bitter she is, she will find a little sweetness and make herself happy. King Guojun followed and persuaded him. He looks forward to being able to live with Huan'er for the rest of his life, if the emperor is still concerned about her, it will always be a hidden danger, for him, the more new favorites the better.
Ye Lanyi endured the tears in her eyes, and looked back at King Guojun: "I have never been able to repay the prince for my kindness back then, since the prince wants me to live well, I must listen to the prince." ”
King Guojun smiled and nodded at her.
Ye Lan looked at the back of King Guojun leaving, stood in place for a long time, the cold wind blew in her face, blowing her eyes sore, and her vision slowly blurred, she endured it, did not let the tears fall, put away her emotions in a lost place, and was about to leave, but at the end of her eyes, she saw another tall building suddenly fall a figure.
Suddenly, Ye Lan reflexively hid behind the pillar, wiped away his tears and poked out half of his head, and looked intently, only to see two figures on the tall building running away in a panic, one of them was so soft that he could barely walk, and he was half dragged and half dragged away from the scene.
Ye Lanyi didn't see his face clearly, only saw two backs, and frowned deeply unconsciously.
There are too many pickled things in the palace, and this red wall and tile seem to be magnificent, but in fact, there are white bones buried underneath, and the resentment is monstrous and disgusting. Ye Lanyi didn't want to get involved in the chaotic battle in the harem, so she only retracted her gaze lightly and turned to leave.
"In the affairs of the government, the imperial brother rarely seems to let his ministers intervene." King Guojun changed into a court dress and came to the Palace of Cultivation to meet him.
The emperor's face was gloomy and his expression was solemn, and he said: "XZ has a rebellion in Albuba, and he intends to defect to the Junggar Ministry. XZ affairs cannot be compromised, and the Mongolian hearts are suspicious of two, and these two are hidden worries for the country. ”
He raised his eyes to look at King Guojun, with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "Although I have set up a minister in Tibet and are also planning to use troops to Zhun Geer Department, there are still many unclear things that need you to go to Yunnan and Tibet to investigate. ”
He has always disliked letting King Guojun interfere in the affairs of the court, when the Nine Kings seized the throne, Lao Seventeen seemed to stay out of the matter, but in fact he was a wolf. The emperor has known this for a long time, but he has been cautious all these years, only lingering in the mountains and rivers, and being separated from the court, and has no power in his hands, so the emperor is a little relieved.
In addition, Prince Yi died, and the emperor really couldn't find a second candidate.
King Guojun's thoughts turned around a thousand times, and finally he spoke: "Although the imperial brother has the heart to entrust, the younger brother is not talented. He would have been tempted if it had been before, but now he has something more important to do.
In the cuff was the fake death medicine he had just gotten from Wen Shichu, and when the time came, he and Huan'er got out by faking their death, and from then on, the world was free and happy.
However, the reality is that he cannot refuse.
The emperor only thought that he deliberately shirked it because of his own jealousy, and explained: "I want to use you because you don't have much to do with the government. Nowadays, there are many fine works in the area of Yunnan and Tibet, and I am also afraid of startling the snakes. After a pause, Fu said again, "On the other hand, if you use troops against the Geer Department, it is the fastest to transfer troops from Gansu and Yunnan, and Concubine Shu is from Yunnan, so it is most suitable for you to take a trip to Yunnan and Tibet." ”
King Guojun's eyes flashed, and the ambition that had been silent for a long time slowly showed signs of recovery, he pursed the dry corners of his mouth, and said to the emperor: "Although the younger brother is not talented, since the imperial brother has entrusted him, he naturally can't shirk it." The younger brother will do his best. ”
"Okay." The emperor nodded, "Then you can clean up and go early and return early." ”
After King Guojun retreated, the emperor sat quietly for a while, and called Su Peisheng: "Spread Zhang Tingyu into the palace." ”
Although it was decided to let the king of Guojun go to Yunnan and Tibet, the emperor was still not very relieved, he said to Zhang Tingyu: "You have to send reliable people to protect carefully, and at the same time, you also need to prevent the king of Guojun from interfering too much. ”
Zhang Tingyu's expression was slightly solemn, and he leaned over to receive the order: "Yes." ”
After everything was arranged, the emperor let go of this breath and closed his eyes for a while.
"Your Majesty, today is the Double Ninth Festival, do you want to go to Shoukang Palace to see the Queen Mother?" Su Peisheng came in with a thousand and asked, "Which little lady do you want to go to for lunch in the palace?" ”
The emperor stretched his stiff back, closed his eyes and said without thinking: "I will go to the Chunxi Palace to see Ye Promise." ”
"Huh." This answer was expected by Su Peisheng, and he turned around and asked people to prepare the sedan chair.
Who knew that before going out, the sky was dark and heavy, and in the blink of an eye, the downpour fell, and the heaven and earth were connected into a dense curtain of water, and the autumn rain was late, and a cold chill suddenly swept away the residual heat of summer, and people shivered.
"Why did it suddenly get cold on this day?" The emperor stood at the door of the Palace of Heart Cultivation with his hands in his hands, couldn't help but tremble, and had no choice but to give up the idea of going to the Chunxi Palace, and continued to go back to approve the folds.
"Your Majesty, it's the little seal of Weiyang Palace." Su Peisheng squinted, saw a figure running in the rain from a distance, and immediately shouted to the emperor, "Such a heavy rain, I'm afraid there is something important." ”
The emperor snorted, looked in the direction of Su Peisheng's finger, and nodded after careful identification: "It is indeed the person next to Rong'er." He took two steps inside, "Wait for him to shake the rain before coming in and talking." ”
It's just that before the emperor took two steps, Xiao Yinzi ran in front of him, he gasped, looked panicked, his face was pale, and he stumbled on the steps and knelt down in front of the emperor, and his voice couldn't stop trembling: "The emperor, the emperor ......."
"Who's wrong?" The emperor immediately thought of something and asked sharply.
"Princess...... Princess Ankang fell from Chongyang Tower......"
An Lingrong only felt that the world was spinning for a while, she stood in the heavy rain, looking at An Kang who fell in a pool of blood, and a suffocating numbness climbed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her breathless.
An Lingrong staggered and fell beside Ankang, and reached out to hug her into his arms: "Ankang...... Don't be afraid, E-Niang is here...... Don't be afraid ......"
However, the cooling on An Kang's body came in little by little, and An Lingrong couldn't stop shivering.
Her well-being, so small, so thin, has no weight in her arms, always refuses to eat well, but has inexhaustible energy, does not stop all day long, like a little sun, always with a smile on her face, occasionally angry, stomping her feet will be coaxed, and will turn around to behave and please.
She is very well-behaved, very happy every day, before going out this morning, she also said that "the Double Ninth Festival will climb high and plant dogwood", and went out happily, and said that she was going to pick osmanthus and come back to make osmanthus cake.
But now, she was lying in An Lingrong's arms coldly, covered in blood.
An Lingrong cried blankly, the huge pain engulfed her, she opened her mouth silently, the pain was blunt in her heart, she couldn't shout out, her voice was hoarse, and she said again and again: "Ankang...... E-niang is here, open your eyes...... Look at E-Niang......" She hugged Ankang tightly, "E-Niang hugged you...... It's not cold to hold you......"
However, there is no longer that "Eniang", and Ankang will never open his eyes again.
"Niangniang, don't be too sad...... Dill knelt beside her with an umbrella, but she was also choked up and speechless, "Princess...... She's gone to ......"
An Lingrong didn't hear it, just repeated and confirmed it over and over again, until An Kang's pale and weak little hand fell off and smashed into the mud, she was stunned for a moment, buried her head and screamed bitterly: "Ah————ah............"
Everyone knelt on the ground, letting the rain beat, listening to the cry, only to feel that a big hole had been broken in their hearts, and the cold wind poured in, and the heavens and the earth were dark.
"It's done?" In Jingren Palace, the queen leaned lazily on the couch, taking a sip of the teacup, her expression was as cold as frost.
Concubine Zhen was quite calm, she lowered her eyes and said quietly: "Yes, Chongyang Building is inaccessible, and it is raining heavily, and there is no trace of evidence left." ”
The queen put down the teacup and nodded: "That's good." ”
"Why ......" Concubine Min sat down, frightened, recalling the scene of Fang Cai, her body still trembled unconsciously, she looked at the queen, but saw her green face and fangs, her face like a ghost, "Why do you want to do it to Ankang?" She's still so young...... She's just a princess and doesn't pose any threat to you! ”
The queen didn't care, and smiled softly and gently: "However, Concubine Rong loves her the most." She laughed lowly, "This palace just wants her to be heartbroken, only in this way will she firmly remember that in this palace, this palace is a serious master, she is only a concubine, and she can only be a mole ant at the foot of this palace." ”
She was indescribably happy in her heart, as if the depression that had been suppressed for a long time was shattered at this moment, and the queen sighed long, and ordered Jian Qiu without raising her head: "Xiuxia can be handled." ”
Jian Qiu smiled and leaned over.
Concubine Min sat on the stool, only to feel cold, she raised her head tremblingly, crashed into the queen's smiling eyes, trembled with fright, and knelt down suddenly: "The queen's mother......"
She was really scared.
After being threatened by the queen, Yu Guiren told her that the death of Queen Chunyuan had nothing to do with the queen, so she used this as a threat to force the queen to give in, and only agreed to help the queen do one thing.
But Concubine Min would never have thought that this incident would actually kill An Kang! She only received a message asking her to take Ankang to Chongyang Tower this afternoon, and she didn't say anything else.
Originally, Concubine Min still felt strange why the queen's request was so simple, but when she saw Concubine Zhen appear in Chongyang Building, she subconsciously noticed that something was wrong, and before she could figure it out, Concubine Zhen reached out and simply pushed Ankang down neatly - if it wasn't for Concubine Zhen's eyes and hands quickly covering her mouth, Concubine Min would have screamed on the spot.
Min Concubine couldn't stop shaking.
An Lingrong will definitely not let her go.
She took Ankang away in front of An Lingrong, and the cardamom was also broken up by her, and no one had ever seen the concubine, so she was the most suspicious of this matter from beginning to end.
In this game, the queen even calculated with Concubine Min.
"Concubine Min, you are indeed very smart, worthy of the title given to you by the emperor, but unfortunately, the agency is too clever and mistakenly lost Qingqing's life." The queen got up with a smile and looked down at Concubine Min from above, "If you are afraid of this kung fu here, it is better to go back and discuss with your good sister how to avoid Concubine Rong's revenge." ”
Concubine Min's eyes widened suddenly, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.
It turned out that the queen knew it all......
Concubine Zhen looked at Concubine Min with pity, I don't know whether to sigh that she is too arrogant, or to ridicule her for being too smart, just her little way, let alone the queen, is not enough in her own eyes, she is really too young.
Walking out of Gyeongin Palace, the rain had stopped, and the raindrops on the tiles were dripping down, splashing round after round of puddles.
Concubine Zhen looked coldly at Xiuxia, who was gagged and tied out, and somehow suddenly felt very tired.
She looked up at the sky after the heavy rain, the sunset was wet and wet, and the blood was even thicker, reflected in the bottom of her eyes, dyed full of blinding scarlet.
