At noon on this day, Tie Ling opened her eyes in a daze, and finally saw a woman in front of her trying to cry at herself, and exclaimed, "Who are you?

"Lie down quickly, be careful of getting dizzy. Don't worry, Pearl, you're fine. "Tie Ling is very curious, there is actually a second person in this world who calls himself Zhu'er.

Looking this person up and down, the more he looked at it, the more strange a feeling in his heart became: "You~ Who are you? Why do you call me that?"

The woman finally couldn't help it and cried, "Zhu'er, you don't recognize me, I, I'm your aunt, didn't your father mention me to you?"

Tie Ling seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt, and said for a long time, "Are you really my aunt?

"This is the palace, I have been transferred to the Wan family since I was a child, and I entered the palace as his daughter, as a pawn of Yunlongmen in the palace, these ~ Your father probably didn't tell you. Tie Ling stared at this person, and her flesh and blood affection was suddenly awakened, and she couldn't help but throw herself into her arms and cry, "Auntie, it turns out that you are in the palace, and Daddy misses you so much, and often mentions you to me, but he didn't tell me that you are here." ”

The woman was touched, and she couldn't help but hug Tie Ling and cry bitterly, not forgetting to say, "Be quiet, be quiet, this is the palace, don't alarm others." Tie Ling was shocked, "Imperial Palace, why are we here? Oh no, where is the child?"

Looking left and right, there was no one, and he was so anxious that his forehead sweated, "Where is Childe, how is he?" The woman hurriedly said, "Zhu'er, don't worry, Childe, he is fine, but he is temporarily locked up." ”

Tie Ling jumped up and said, "Where is the lock, I'm going to save him!" "If you want to go, you have to go again after dark, it's daytime, and the palace is full of people." Don't worry, my aunt will definitely help you rescue your son. "Childe is really okay?" "Of course it's okay, Childe was brought into the palace by me." ”

"Auntie, what are you talking about?" the woman sighed, "You two were stunned by Wan Chi's disciples, and were sent directly to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, the prince asked to bring you into the palace, and I took the opportunity to bring you over, as for the son, I really have no excuse, so I have to let him continue to be locked up first." ”

It turned out that Tie Ling Gongzi told each other the truth that night, vowed never to leave each other again, and the two went to surrender together. Gongzi knew that Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, was extremely virtuous, and he was valued by Zhu Qizhen, so he wanted to see him first, and then go to see Zhu Qizhen through him.

(Note: The most trusted people in the late Yingzong period were Li Xian and Menda, and the upper court ordered Li Xian to look to the left, and the right to hope ordered Menda.) ）

So while Du Jiuwei and Jin Ying didn't come back, the two went out early, bent on waiting for Li Xian to visit after retreating, who knew that after eating breakfast in the teahouse, they actually fell into the enemy's way.

Tie Ling said worriedly, "But is Gongzi being tortured now?Is Zhu Qizhen torturing him?" "No, there is no antidote to the drug among you, you can only wait for you to wake up naturally." This afternoon, Zhu Qizhen and the prince are going to meet the candidate for the crown princess in the imperial garden, they don't have time to judge the prince, we still have time. ”

Tie Ling relieved his breath at this time, thinking that Zhu Qizhen should not know the true identity of the son, in his heart, he was the leader of the bandits, and he was not arraigned, and he was okay if he wanted to come to the son.

Looking at the woman, she was puzzled, and said, "Auntie, what the hell is going on? How can you have such a great ability to bring me here? Is this your room?"

The woman helped Tie Ling to sit down and said, "Yes, Zhu'er." It's a long story, I entered the palace at the age of four, and when I was a little older, someone from Yunlongmen contacted me, and I knew my life experience and responsibilities. Later, the main gate canceled the reset plan, and your father slipped into the palace and wanted to take me away, but I didn't agree. ”

"Just because the palace is not as good as the outside, even if the gate has no intention of resetting, it is necessary to be vigilant from time to time when the imperial court finds out about the Yunlongmen, which is not good for the saints. At that time, I was very pleased with the Empress Dowager Sun, and I felt that there was a lot to be done, and I wanted to serve this sect for a few more years. Your dad can't help it, so he agrees to pick me up in a few years. By the way, you don't know my name yet, the Queen Mother gave me the name Zhen, and the people in the palace called me Wan Zhen'er. ”

(Note: Wan Zhen'er, her real name cannot be examined, and Zhen'er's name is likely to be fabricated by later generations.) In addition, Guan Hanqing's wife is called Wan Zhen'er~)

The more Tie Ling listened, the more nervous she became, and she saw that her aunt's expression turned desolate, "Who knew that the situation changed abruptly, Zhu Qizhen led the army to the battle, and the army was defeated in Tumu Fort, and the people in the palace were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, that year, I just turned nineteen~ But your father went to Khan Qian to assassinate him first, and I didn't know about it until I met Yuan Ziying a few years ago." ”

Tie Ling was surprised, Wan Zhen'er stopped her inquiry, and then said, "A year later, Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing and was directly imprisoned in the South Palace. ”

(Note: The prince was deposed when he was five years old, demoted to the king of Yi, and was driven out of the palace, and the twenty-one-year-old Wan Zhen'er could have left the palace to marry, voluntarily accompanied him, and moved into the old house under the care of Jinyiwei, and was the prince's only relative in the next five years.) The crown prince was reinstated at the age of ten and returned to Qingning Palace. ）

Tie Ling felt pain in her heart, and said, "I see, no wonder this door didn't take you away, my father's matter, they shouldn't be able to inform you." ”

Wan Zhen'er snorted and continued, "After the change of seizing the door, I have seen the light of day again, the eunuch who contacted me before has passed away, I can't find anyone from Yunlongmen, and I have passed the age of leaving the palace, so I came out to look for you." When I arrived at the residence that the eldest brother said, I couldn't find anyone, and I remembered that the eldest brother had mentioned the Evergreen Gang before his death, so he went south along the river and wanted to contact the door through the Evergreen Gang, so he met Yuan Ziying. ”

Tie Ling was taken aback and said, "Ah, Yuan Ziying saw you, aren't you Cao Jixiang's subordinates?" Wan Zhen'er said, "No." Yuan Ziying and I told each other about our life experience, only to know that my eldest brother had died in the Khan's court, as for the whereabouts of you and your mother, Yuan Ziying didn't know, the more we talked, the more we surrendered, and finally I decided to return to the palace. ”

Tie Ling screamed and said, "Auntie, in fact, you can't blame Zhu Qizhen for this matter. Wan Zhen'er's eyes widened, and she said, "Don't blame him, blame him? If he hadn't sent troops rashly and was so incompetent, how could he have let thousands of soldiers die in the desert? If he was ashamed, he should have imprisoned himself, but who knew that he would still sit on his throne like no one else." It is reasonable to say that he will achieve success and ten thousand bones will wither, but how can he have an inch of merit? He will only bring disaster to the country and the people, and he is not worthy of being a king at all. ”

Tie Ling complained bitterly in her heart, only felt that her aunt's "once you will succeed and your bones will wither, but it is reasonable" is very wrong, and she didn't know where to argue for a while, so she had to say, "Then what? You go and return, don't the people in the palace be suspicious? Cao Jixiang rebelled~ It won't really have anything to do with you!"

Wan Zhen'er was silent for a while, and said, "After I went back, I only said that it was difficult to adapt to the life outside, and I couldn't give up the prince, so I decided to come back. As for Cao Jixiang~ He asked for it, he himself and Zhu Qizhen did not agree, and he was in the inner court, if he wanted to make trouble, he was naturally the best candidate. ”

"Then how much does he know about the affairs of Yunlongmen?" "I just got a little bit of a mouth, at that time, the proverbs of Baihualing had a tendency to rekindle, I think this is an opportunity, how can this powerhouse built by Xu Wanting before his death just let it be annihilated? So I suggested that Cao Jixiang send someone to fight, and I didn't want to do it. What I didn't expect was that you were actually Ling Zhu. If I knew, I would have done my best to help you eradicate Cheng Xuchuan, who cares if he is loyal or traitor?"
