Chapter 241: Disapproval
Lan Chengjie's mansion has been searched, the emperor waved his golden pen, and all the men in the Lan mansion, except for Lan Chengjie and his wife, were all assigned to the Yunzhou military camp to fill the army, and the female dependents were all sold as official slaves. Lan Chengjie and his wife were separated from the prison in Dali Temple. Before Mrs. Lan came in, she had been locked up in the Lan Mansion for five days, unable to freshen up, without good wine and food to satisfy her hunger, and lost weight to a handful of bones.
At night, Lan Chengjie was lying on the haystack and napping, when he suddenly heard the rattling of the chains behind him, Lan Chengjie was startled, and said that the jailers in the prison were Yama who was urging his life, and he had arrived in this field, did they still refuse to let him go?
Because he didn't know what they were going to do to him, Lan Chengjie didn't dare to make a sound, and pretended to sleep with his eyes closed. I don't know who stretched out his foot and kicked Lan Chengjie's back: "Hey, hey, hey, get up!"
Lan Chengjie still had his eyes closed, pretending that he was sleeping soundly.
"Hey?" the jailer called out to his companion, "This old thing is pretending to be dead!"
Another jailer said: "Get up, dignified and first-class man, can you have some backbone and pretend to be dead? Without Lan Chengjie being able to react, the two jailers had already stretched out their hands to pick him up.
Before Lan Chengjie could speak, a black cloth bag was put on his head, and during the struggle, he was stuffed into a large box. Lan Chengjie shouted a few times, but no one paid attention to him, so Lan Chengjie slapped the wall of the box desperately, trying to make some movement to attract the attention of others.
Finally, I heard an impatient voice whispering, "What are you shooting? Someone wants to see you, look at your greedy life and fear of death." ”
Lan Chengjie quieted down and savored the speaker's voice, which was actually quite familiar, as if it had often floated next to his ears a few days ago.
By the way, it's Liu Tianbao's voice. It turned out that it was Wei Yuanxi who wanted to see him.
Lan Chengjie quieted down and curled up quietly in the box. This box is not big, but it is more than the box I used to send Lan Yu away last time. Thinking of this, Lan Chengjie suddenly regretted that he was so uncomfortable for a man in the box, and Lan Yu was a little girl, how aggrieved she should be to shrink in the box.
The air in the box became thinner and thinner, Lan Chengjie had to endure his breath and put his nose next to the crack of the box, but found that the box was very sealed and not breathable at all. The box was getting hotter and hotter, and Lan Chengjie felt that he was almost fainting, and at first he could clearly hear the sound of the wheels rolling, and then only the humming noise remained.
I don't know how long later, the lid of the box suddenly opened. In the light of the fire, you can see white smoke whirring out of the box. Liu Tianbao smiled, what he knew was that there was a person here, and he didn't know that he thought he had pulled a box of boiling water from Dali Temple.
It was midsummer inside the box, and it was harsh winter outside the box, alternating between hot and cold, Lan Chengjie suddenly felt a cool feeling in his head, he blinked, and woke up. On his face, a thin layer of frost was formed on his clothes, which looked like a handicraft.
"Get up, don't play dead!" Liu Tianbao jumped off his horse.
Lan Chengjie had already remembered, but he had curled up in the box for too long, and his waist and limbs had long been in pain, and he couldn't move.
"Help, help me. Lan Chengjie said weakly.
Liu Tianbao beckoned and called two people to pull him out.
"Poof, what's the smell?" the two people fanned their noses in unison: "This is more rancid than the smell of swill!"
Lan Chengjie stood in the courtyard and looked around, looking around, as if he had been taken to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion by them. After standing for a while, Lan Chengjie heard footsteps and gradually approached him, and a mother-in-law carried a lamp and followed Wei Yuanxi here.
Lan Chengjie felt that his body was too cold, but he was embarrassed to ask them for clothes, so he shrunk his hand in his sleeve. Like a frozen old man driving a car.
Yuan Xi stood still and looked Lan Chengjie up and down: "Except for Liu Tianbao and Mother Zhong, everyone else should step down." ”
As soon as Yuan Xi's words fell, the soldiers who were responsible for escorting Lan Chengjie retreated one after another, Lan Chengjie flattened his mouth, once upon a time, he was also so majestic. Now, the majesty is gone, Lan Chengjie slowly squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, and rubbed his frozen ears and face.
"I heard you were going to see me, why, you don't want to speak now?"
Lan Chengjie snorted and asked straight to the point, "Where is my daughter?"
Yuan Xi glanced at Mother Zhong, and Mother Zhong sneered: "Your daughter is lost, what's the matter with the crown princess?"
Lan Chengjie raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Xi: "What kind of garlic are you pretending? Didn't Lan Yu be taken away by you? Even that Captain Li said so." ”
Yuan Xi slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "There is indeed a girl with me, but whether she is Lan Yu or not, I can't say for sure." I have seen Miss Lan, who is smart and kind, and looks handsome. But the woman lying in the prince's mansion today is as skinny as wood, and there is no one who has been tortured. Moreover, she can say that she is not surnamed Lan. ”
Lan Chengjie glared at Yuan Xi and couldn't speak for a long time: "What did you say?"
Yuan Xi looked at him coldly: "Lord Lan, don't you understand what I said? ”
Lan Chengjie's nose was a little sour, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and his eyes were filled with tears: "I'm sorry for Lan Yu, but I didn't ask you to force me? If you hadn't pressured me again and again, how could I be in a hurry to give Lan Yu to the fourth prince? And your brother who made a loss, if he hadn't been secretly abducting my daughter, how could Lan Yu not listen to me? How could I hurt her like this?"
Yuanxi snorted disapprovingly, and slowly rubbed the back of his hand: "Lord Lan, who persecuted you? When you persecuted Li Er, I, Wei Yuanxi, had not yet grown up." ”
Lan Chengjie stood up suddenly: "It's the prince!
Liu Tianbao pulled out his sword and threatened Lan Chengjie: "Stand back!"
Lan Chengjie gave him a blank look, and as soon as he grasped the blade, the plasma slid from the blade to the ground. Lan Chengjie made his hand in the shape of a hand knife and gestured in front of his neck: "If you have a kind of cut, cut me to death, I will be at ease!"
Liu Tianbao was grabbed by him with a saber, a little faceless, and flew together and kicked Lan Chengjie in the stomach, Lan Chengjie was defenseless and was kicked more than a meter away.
"You mean, you can do evil, can't the prince investigate?" Mother Zhong sneered: "Niangniang, the slave maid has been in the prince's mansion for so many years, and I have never seen such an unreasonable prisoner after watching the prince handle so many files. ”
Yuan Xi lowered his eyes and looked at Lan Chengjie: "Lord Lan, I really don't understand what you want to say when you want to see me, my time is very precious, if you have nothing to do, I won't waste time with you." ”
As soon as Yuan Xi turned around, Lan Chengjie suddenly shouted, "Give my daughter back to me!"
"Hehe!" Yuan Xi slowly turned around: "Mother Zhong, did you hear, we tried our best to save Lan Yu, not only did Lord Lan not even say a word of thanks, but thought that we were taking hostages." ”
Mother Zhong responded and said: "Yes, Niangniang, it's really hard to be a good person these days!"
Lan Chengjie groaned for a while, feeling that he was indeed a little unreasonable. lowered his head: "Crown princess Niangniang, Fang is too reckless for the old minister, Niangniang saved Lan Yu, Lan Chengjie will never forget Niangniang's great kindness." Please give me back your daughter, right?"
Yuan Xi stared at him for a while: "Lan Yu is in the mansion, you can meet him, but whether she will go with you or not, then it's none of my business." If Miss Lan doesn't agree, I won't let you take her away easily. ”
Lan Chengjie nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your grace." ”
Mother Zhong took Lan Chengjie to the side hall where Lan Yu lived, and through the window, Lan Chengjie could see that the lights inside were dim, and there was a girl lying quietly on the bed.
Mother Zhong opened the door and shouted, "Miss Lan, look who's coming?"
Lan Yu was staring at the curtain on the bed in a daze, and when she heard Mother Zhong calling her, she cast her gaze. It doesn't matter what happened, Lan Yu suddenly screamed, and Mother Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to support Lan Yu: "Miss Lan, don't be afraid, he is your father!"
"No father, I don't have a father, Mother Zhong saved me, he wants to kill me! He wants to kill me!" Lan Yu's throat was still a little hoarse, but she could speak more clearly.
Lan Chengjie was overjoyed: "Yu'er, your throat is not poisoned?"
Mother Zhong had a cold face: "Lord Lan, you have to thank the imperial doctor in the palace, if it weren't for the symptomatic prescription he gave, Miss Lan would have gotten better so quickly?"
Lan Chengjie smiled on his face, but there were tears on his face: "Yu'er, Yu'er's father is here, Dad is here to take you away!"
Lan Yu shook her head desperately. She couldn't move, so she could only shake her head violently to express her anger: "Mother Zhong protects me, Mother Zhong doesn't want him to take me away! He wants to kill me, he is a murderer!"
Lan Chengjie's smile froze on his face: "Yu'er, I'm your father!"
Lan Yu cried: "Mother Zhong, he and Xiao Rongcheng are in the same group, they want to kill me!"
"Yu'er!" Lan Chengjie shouted, "Don't you recognize your father?"
Mother Zhong stood up and pushed Lan Chengjie out of the house: "See, Miss Lan doesn't recognize you at all." ”
Lan Chengjie turned around helplessly, Yuan Xi was standing behind him, Lan Chengjie asked in a panic, "This, what's wrong?"
The fourth prince asked someone to give Miss Lan a dumb medicine, put it in a sack and threw it into the moat. Lord Lan, it was you who personally sent Miss Lan to the Fourth Prince, you ask yourself, you are not an accomplice, what are you?"
"I, I ......" Lan Chengjie wanted to say "I am her father", but suddenly he lost his confidence. Lan Chengjie swallowed his saliva: "It's me who is sorry for Yu'er, it's me who hurt her." ”
"If only you knew. Yuan Xi lightly fiddled with the one hundred and eight Bodhi bracelets in his hand, and asked, "Since Miss Lan refuses to go with the adult, what is the adult going to do next?"
Mother Zhong snickered: "Lord Lan, the slave said something that I don't know my identity, I really don't know what good it will be for you to take Miss Lan away." You know, you can't protect yourself right now. ”
Lan Chengjie hesitated for a while, and suddenly raised his head: "Crown Princess, I'll make a deal with you!"
