The baby delivered to the door became the emperor
Chapter 73 Temptation
If she wanted to see it, it was not easy for Lin Ran to stop her, so she took off cleanly in front of her.The blood stained on the robe belonged to the assassin, so Ah Liang made a fuss.
The young man's body was flawless, and he didn't have any bruises. Mu Liang was serious, which made Lin Ran extremely shy, and hurriedly hid in the water, "Are you sure about it?"
Mu Liang was worried in his heart, his expression remained the same, but was brought back to reality by her shy eyes, his face turned red when he thought of his actions, and he dared not look at her with lowered eyes.
Lin Ran turned his back to her, wiped off the dirt on his face with water, and then looked back at her: "Am I clean?"
Mu Liang raised her eyelids and found that the blood on the brows was still there. She wet her fingertips and rubbed her fingertips on the brows. After rubbing twice, she found that the blood was gone, and some blood beads came out.
She immediately withdrew her hand, took a clean veil and wiped it lightly, saying: "It's scratched a bit, don't touch the water."
Lin Ran didn't care, and instead pulled her into the water, seeing her unchanging expression and red ear tips, said in a low voice, "Ah Liang just likes acting, acting, reserved, reserved."
Suddenly entering the water, Mu Liang only let out a cry of surprise, and calmed down after getting close to Lin Ran, without speaking, just gently rubbing her shoulder with a wet handkerchief.
Her eyebrows and eyes were low, she seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be unhappy. Lin Ran knew that she had worried her tonight, so she took the initiative to embrace her: "Ah Liang, you are angry."
"Yeah." Mu Liang didn't deny it, she was really unhappy.
Lin Ran's hand moved around her waist, and she took it off cleanly, and she couldn't be allowed to wear so much.Fortunately, Mu Liang didn't stop him, and the wet clothes were uncomfortable on his body.
The exquisite curves in the water were seductive, Lin Ran took off her blouse, and confessed in a low voice, "I shouldn't have left you alone."
Mu Liang didn't answer.
Lin Ran took it as her acquiescence, touched her ear with his fingertips, she kissed her, and whispered: "I, I won't do it next time."
Mu Liang was still silent, rubbing the handkerchief on her shoulders until the small piece of skin turned red, "You have your own way, I don't ask for anything, I just hope that you will take care of your own safety before acting." That's it."
She stuffed the handkerchief into Lin Ran's hand, and went ashore to change into clean clothes.
Through the screen, Lin Ran felt that she was really angry.Ah Liang is different from Dad, Dad is furious when he is angry, on the contrary, the angrier she is, the quieter she appears.
She was a little at a loss, hurriedly washed herself, changed her clothes and went out, the servant came to report: "The assassin has been controlled, His Highness Xinyang suffered some injuries, but not serious, as for the other ministers and family members, we don't know yet. More than half of the courtiers were killed or injured this time."
The assassin pretended to be a soldier at the gate of the city, and slashed with a knife, how could he not kill anyone.
Since there was nothing wrong with Xinyang, she didn't care, and ordered the servant to retreat, and went back to the house cautiously.Mu Liang changed her clothes and wiped the wet hair in the room.
Lin Ran walked over and reached out to take her dry handkerchief, "I'll wipe it for you."
"I'm afraid I'm tired tonight, you go to rest first." Mu Liang rarely refused her, avoided her hands, and turned half of her body.
Lin Ran was not a discouraged person either, A Liang refused to let her go, and she didn't leave, she walked aside and waited quietly, muttering: "You are angry, I know you are angry, I will definitely change it next time, okay?". "
"Whether you change it or not is your own business. Your life is your own. If I can see it, you can change it. If you can't see it, do you change it?" Mu Liang put down the veil and got on the bed first.
Lin Ran was overwhelmed by her indifferent attitude, and stayed for a while before following her on the bed. She went to turn off the lights, leaned against Mu Liang, and quietly held her hand, not daring to make a sound, just being so quiet hold it firmly.
Mu Liang followed her, not refusing to stay silent, but Lin Ran couldn't move anymore, maybe Ah Liang wouldn't listen to her coaxing when he was angry.
When her anger subsides, she may be angry.
The two slept all night with each other's thoughts, Lin Ran got up very early, and asked people to go to Princess Xinyang's mansion to have a look, and went to invite father over for lunch along the way.
Mu Neng avoided a difficult situation last night, and he was still uncertain. In the early morning, someone knocked on the door, and the Eighth Prince sent someone to send a message to him. Many colleagues died last night, so let the Ninth Prince's Mansion pay more attention.
Luoyang City has been in chaos for a long time. There are mountains of corpses piled up on the towers, even below the city. He couldn't pretend to be sick, so he went to the city gate and beat his horse for a walk. It was like a mutiny, and there were still many corpses of his colleagues who were too late to be transported back to the mansion. , just put it downstairs.
He couldn't bear it, and asked the soldiers to help him send him back to the mansion, and the dead would be the worst.
After receiving Lin Ran's letter, he turned around and went to the Princess's Mansion. Lin Ran was teasing the little tiger in the yard. A wild cat who didn't know where it came from stood shivering in front of the little tiger, not daring to move an inch.
The little tiger squatted on its hind legs and wailed twice. It didn't understand what the new friend was shaking. It took a step forward and heard a cat screaming.
Lin Ran raised her forehead, this cat is too cowardly, the cat from last night can also fight tigers, this one makes it tremble at the sight of it, she asked people to take away the stray cat, and then found a few cats outside without owners.
Mu Neng looked at the tiger in her hand and said, "Can you watch the fireworks last night?"
"Why don't you go to see such a grand event." Lin Ran was frustrated, if he didn't go, he wouldn't make A Liang angry, you see A Liang hasn't got up from his bed yet, he is still angry.
She sighed and made Mu Neng think that she saw the bloody side, and said a few words of comfort. She had never seen Mu Liang, and felt strange: "Why isn't Ah Liang here?"
"Ah Liang hasn't woken up yet." Lin Ran replied, and not long after, they heard the sound of the door opening, and the two turned their heads to see Mu Liang standing by the door.
Mu Neng strode over and saw that she looked good, so he didn't care, and said casually: "If you have nothing to do, get me some breakfast, I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back."
The maid quickly set out breakfast, red bean and millet porridge, steamed crystal shrimp dumplings, and a few snacks to go with it, Mu Neng ate five or six dumplings in a row before he said, "I'm afraid Qian Qi did what happened last night. "
Only Qian Qi has the guts to kill people wantonly, and they only pick high-ranking officials. This kind of reckless style of play is to cause civil strife in Luoyang, so that the front line can take advantage of it.
If it wasn't for Xinyang's quick response last night, the new Jinjin would have changed masters, Luoyang was in chaos and no one was in charge, wouldn't it be said that Qian Qi wanted it.
Mu Liang didn't move, and the porridge in front of her didn't even move. Lin Ran glanced at her, put the shrimp dumpling in her bowl, didn't speak, and drank the porridge by herself.
Mu Neng had a big heart, and never saw anything wrong between the two of them, but continued to talk about him: "I look at those civil servants who have died. I'm afraid that the imperial court will not be able to recover for a while. Next year, there will probably be an imperial examination to recruit talented people."
The Emperor Ming emphasized martial arts and despise literature, and he showed contempt for civil servants. The number of imperial examinations held in these years was very small, and most of them were recommended by the ground.This time, the assassination was probably ruined. The military commander might have survived with his kung fu, but the civil servant was sent to his death.
Lin Ran saw the assassination with her own eyes, and never cared about the distinction between civil servants and military generals. They all died under the knife of the assassin anyway. She bit the porridge and said, "Father, what do you think is wrong this time?"
Shouldn't it just be pretended to be like this, and your Majesty is accompanied by the Jinwu Guards when he travels, and he is heavily protected, so the enemy can see through it like this?
"I don't know either. The Jinwu Guard and the guards of the city tower are both His Majesty's people. We can't interfere. The commander of the Jinwu Guard died last night. I don't know who is in charge of the Jinwu Guard now." Mu Neng sighed, which can be considered The Emperor Ming had no choice but to take the blame. After holding on to it for so many years, he would turn the boat over.
Mu Liang didn't speak, just took a few mouthfuls, and Mu Neng left. She told the servants to go to other mansions and send some gifts to the dead or injured. In addition, seeing the six and eight kings last night, let the steward go in person Take a trip to see what is missing, and let someone do it when the time comes.
After giving the order, she turned around and saw Lin Ran standing behind her, giggling, she didn't bother to pay attention, and went into the room.
Lin Ran was ignored by her, but she was not annoyed, and followed her without touching her feet, and leaned close to her, "Ah Liang, are you still angry?"
"No, I just don't want to talk to you."
Lin Ran: "..."
There is no difference between not wanting to talk to her and being angry. She sat down next to Mu Liang, "Then you can listen to me when I talk. Don't go out today. I want to go to the princess mansion."
What happened last night was turned upside down, she wondered where there was a problem with the strength of the troops, and because Xinyang was injured, she had to take a look.
Mu Liang didn't respond, so she continued to mutter: "Ah Liang, I don't think what happened last night was caused by Qian Qi. After all, so many years have passed, how did Qian Qi's influence penetrate into Luoyang?"
She felt strange, but there was no evidence, and she didn't know what was going on, so she had to investigate.
Mu Liang listened for a while, and said directly: "If you want to go, go directly, you don't need to talk so much."
Her affection for Xinyang was exhausted, and she thought she was not a magnanimous person. Seeing the child she took pains to raise, going through life and death for others, she couldn't be calm.
People are selfish, and she doesn't think she is at fault.
"My fault, I shouldn't have left you, so I won't go today, let Xuanyi come over, and we will meet the steward." Lin Ran didn't know why she was so angry, and it was fine if she didn't go, but let Xuanyi come over. good.
After she finished speaking, the maid said that the steward had come, and Zhao Jiuniang came to see her.
Lin Ran asked someone to prepare tea, waited for Zhao Jiuniang to come over, glanced at Mu Liang, and silently moved towards her.
Zhao Jiuniang came here quietly. She was afraid that the head of the family would go out, so she came here early, and she was relieved to see both of them there.
After the maid retreated, she said first: "I should have come here yesterday, but I was delayed in choosing the oiran. The change of the city tower last night is probably a little tricky."
Two girls left on the fourth floor of Fuyun Tower, and now the little girl who is supporting the facade is the little girl who picks up the guests. Zhao Jiuniang has trained an oiran for 20 years, and there is someone who can take over, but she is a little younger, only 13 years old, she doesn't think much about it. He has been hesitant to push people out.
Yesterday she went to pick up the little girl in person and sent her to the Chunzi Building, which delayed her coming to the princess mansion.
The girls who received the customers were trained spies, and they got some news from the prostitutes.The news was recorded in the book in the building, and the keys were all in Jiu Niang's hands. She brought out the book and handed it to the owner.
Lin Ran opened it, and it was the prostitute of a young goalkeeper.
The gates of the city are changed according to shifts. The whore, the drunken customer, told that one of his brothers was sick, and the people above replaced him. After that, many brothers fell ill, and they gave a lot of comfort money, and the Everyone changed.
The prostitute was also thankful that he was in good health, otherwise he would not be able to keep his job. The girl asked the names of his brothers and recorded them carefully.
Seeing dozens of people above, Lin Ran couldn't help being surprised: "Why are they all sick?"
Zhao Jiuniang explained: "It's all a cold, the medicine didn't bring down the fever, and several people died, so it was said that they were changed because they were afraid of infection. I didn't expect to encounter these things last night."
"How come so many people are sick, but there are still people alive?" Mu Liang also felt strange. The Lin family has opened several pharmacies recently. She knows some diseases, and there is absolutely no possibility of Qiqi getting sick, unless someone is strange.
"The madam's problem is the strangest part. I just thought it was someone who wanted to replace my capable confidant and didn't care. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't expect that something big happened last night. It was also the negligence of my subordinates." Zhao Jiuniang guilt.
Lin Ran said, "It wasn't your fault at all, but who changed the person?"
"It's from the Su family. It's a distant relative of the Su family. It's also because the people from the Su family are behind it that no one dares to speak out. But he died last night. I'm afraid there is no symptom for death."
The influence of the Su family has penetrated deeply, and no one dared to resist. After all, the matter of changing people was not a big deal. Those who got sick received a lot of comfort money, so how could they dare to resist.
Lin Ran disagreed with Zhao Jiuniang's meaning, and carefully analyzed: "The Su family is powerful and ruthless in doing things, so they will not give out so much comfort money for no reason, and the person died last night, so the possibility of further investigation is very small. Most of them were used by others, and they were silenced after the event was completed."
The Su family is notoriously stingy, and Su Zhao wished to put all the money into his purse when he was alive. The people below followed suit, how could they send such a large consolation money.
Zhao Jiuniang reacted after being reminded by her, "That's right, people from the Su family who come to play in Fuyun Tower are very stingy, and they don't give if they can. A little guard, where did he get so much money?"
"Please trouble Jiuniang to pay more attention to the matter behind the scenes. Uncle must be awake. You can take a look before you leave." Lin Ran signaled the servant girl to lead her to the backyard. Lin Si was bored in the backyard. Seeing his old subordinates, he must be happy some.
Zhao Jiuniang showed gratitude and left with the maid.
Lin Ran held the booklet, feeling uneasy, thinking about this matter, she felt terrified, and unconsciously asked A Liang what she meant: "A Liang, what do you think is the purpose behind this matter?"
"According to the news that Jiuniang got, I'm afraid that what happened last night is to blame the Su family. Unfortunately, the man is dead. If we chase after layers, we may find out the Su family." Mu Liang guessed, There is a deepness in the eyes.
Lin Ran leaned closer to her: "Do you think that what happened last night was aimed at His Highness Xinyang? If she dies and blames the Su family, the one who benefits will be His Highness who is far away in the fief."
Mu Liang thought about it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, and he disagreed with her opinion: "Maybe it's the enemy's cover-up. In order to cause civil strife in Luoyang, the Su family will suffer suspicion and Xinyang will suffer, and they will also benefit."
The matter in front of him was like a cloud of fog, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while, Lin Ran didn't think about it any more, and waited for Jiu Niang to check it out before making a conclusion.She saw the booklet in her hand, and said: "I'll make a copy of this thing, send it to Dad, and ask him what he means."
She asked someone to fetch pens and ink, and Mu Liang just watched casually from the sidelines and didn't help. She remembered what happened many years ago in her mind. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this incident, and she had a feeling in her heart , this matter is not necessarily what Qian Qi did.
Back then, Luo Qing conspired with Xinyang to cut off all the powers of Qian Qi, and in the past so many years, Luoyang City has undergone several changes, and the powers are complicated. It is impossible for anyone to work for Qian Qi, and the Su family will not be so stupid of.
Perhaps as Lin Ran said, the person behind him kills two birds with one stone.
That being the case, why not let nature take its course.
After Lin Ran finished transcribing, he sent Mu Huai to the palace. Xuan Yi happened to come to see him, and the two went to the study.
Xuan Yi stayed at the Princess Mansion last night to handle business, and when he got the news, the assassin had already been killed, and after a night of investigation, he could not find out the source. After all, there were too many casualties at that time, and it took a whole night to even clean up the corpses.
Lin Ran was not tactful, and handed the brochure to her directly: "This is the news I got, and you will pass it on to Your Highness when the time comes. How is Your Majesty's health, and how is the court?"
"Your Majesty fainted yesterday and hasn't woken up yet. His Majesty and General Su held down the news together, but they are still stable. The imperial court suffered heavy losses this time, and more than half of the six departments were killed or injured." Xuanyi couldn't help feeling sorry, too many people died last night. Wenchen, His Highness sent people to stabilize the six departments so that they did not lose control.
Right now, I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to interfere with it, and the situation will be difficult to clean up. Moreover, if Luoyang is in civil unrest, the front line will be unstable.
Internal and external troubles are the most deadly.
Lin Ran didn't care about His Majesty's life or death, but if she died, the Luo family's affairs would not be cleared up, and she had to live. Presumably this was the reason why His Highness Xinyang desperately rescued him.
No one has been found yet, but His Royal Highness Xinyang and Su Changlan are in power together... She leaned on the couch and thought for a while, then tentatively said: "You spread this news, the sooner the better."
If you want to make a mess, make it a mess.
Xuan Yi glanced at the records in the brochure, and didn't quite understand Lin Ran's meaning: "Patriarch Lin, forgive Xuan Yi for taking the liberty to pass it on like this, I'm afraid the chaos will be even faster."
"Right now is the best opportunity for your Highness to recruit, why not use such a great opportunity to give face to the Su family." Lin Ran explained to her, with a slight smile, Xuanyi was full of foolish loyalty and didn't know how to adapt.
Xuan Yi still didn't quite understand, "This matter was not done by the Su family, isn't this wronged?"
Lin Ran thought for a while, and slowly explained to her: "This trick is to kill people with a knife, and it also gives the person behind him a chance to succeed, but His Highness Xinyang will not suffer. Right now, she and the Su family share the power equally. If the Su family is guessed, she will It has the upper hand. Even if we know that this matter has nothing to do with the Su family, we will not take the initiative to mention it."
The person behind is killing people with a knife, but she won't care about it. Killing the Su family is the most important step for her.
Even if you know that you will fall into a conspiracy, it's worth it.
Xuanyi seemed to understand, but retreated out with the brochure.
Today's Luoyang City is extremely quiet, even in the usually lively neighborhood, there are not many people to be seen, and three or two pedestrians walk very fast, holding the things in their hands, and walking with their heads buried.
The same is true for Zhao's Embroidery Workshop. Lin Ran sat in the carriage and took a look. Zhao Fuyun was talking to the staff in the store, but there were no customers in the Lin's Embroidery Workshop. She simply asked the steward to close the door, and went home to rest for half a day.
The embroiderer couldn't help but thanked her again and again. Lin Ran was sitting in the embroidery workshop, and the steward was also moaning. After what happened last night, Luoyang city was like a ghost town, and the business couldn't continue.
After Lin Ran visited a few shops in the city, he returned home.
Emperor Ming in the palace woke up at dusk, looking weak, Qin Wan waited on him, she stayed up all night, her eyes were black and blue.After finally surviving until Emperor Ming woke up, she had time to retreat and go to the side hall to rest.
When Emperor Ming woke up, he went to summon Su Changlan. Xinyang was outside the hall, and told her the news: "Someone secretly reported that a distant nephew of the Su family replaced several soldiers at the city gate a few days ago."
"Where did you get the secret report, don't talk nonsense." Emperor Ming didn't believe her, a few white strands of hair emerged from his temples overnight, and he had to accept the old age, especially when looking at people with cloudy eyes. Although the majesty is there, youth is gone passed away.
She struggled to remove the memorabilia on the couch, and pointed to Xinyang: "You are slandering, it's because you have evil intentions."
She shouted hoarsely, and attracted the maids outside the palace, as well as Qin Wan from the side hall.When they rushed in, they saw His Highness Xinyang leaning over to pick up the memorial, and His Majesty coughing on the couch.
Qin Wan walked over, stroked His Majesty's back, and gave her comfort, "Your Majesty calm down, don't get on your body."
Xin Yang put the memorial on the small table next to the couch as before, ordered the maidservant to back down, and said to Qin Wan: "Master Qin, go out first, I have something to talk to Your Highness."
Qin Wan looked at Emperor Ming worriedly, and withdrew her hand, seeing that His Majesty did not refuse, she took the initiative to retreat.
When the door of the palace was closed, Xin Yang said: "Why are you angry? I just showed you the evidence. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can go and investigate. If I have something wrong, my Majesty died last night."
She was calm, and Emperor Ming also calmed down his emotions. He read the memorial from the beginning to the end, still doubtful: "That person is dead, how do you prove it?"
"He is dead, but the soldiers who were replaced are still alive. If we check one by one, there will always be evidence."
Emperor Ming leaned against the pillow, the white hair on his temples was very conspicuous. She was thinking about what happened last night, looking straight into Xinyang's eyes: "You don't need to investigate this matter, you hand over all the evidence in your hand to Qin Wan, she Will find out."
"Yes, but Su Changlan's military power must be removed. This is the biggest concession of the minister. Your Majesty may not know how many courtiers died last night. There is a list of seals here. You can take a look. Half of the six departments were killed or injured, including your right-hand man. If it wasn't for Qin Wan not driving, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to avoid it."
Xinyang handed her the list indifferently. As for those evidences, it was impossible to give them. She could not reveal Lin and Fuyunlou. She only left the memorandum, and let your Majesty investigate the rest.
There were hundreds of people on the list, and the long string of numbers made Emperor Ming dizzy in front of his eyes. She was so angry that she almost threw it out, and cursed: "It's hateful, it's simply hateful, you put my dignity under your feet, you are against the party, you are all evil!" Against the party..."
She yelled loudly, Xinyang didn't care about it, but walked to Zichen Palace calmly, since His Majesty woke up, there is no need for her to stay in the palace to sit in command.
When His Royal Highness Xinyang left the palace, His Majesty summoned important ministers to discuss matters, leaving Su Changlan out, making people confused for a while.
Qin Wan never had a rest day and night, Emperor Ming ordered her to go back to rest and not to be on duty, she had nothing to do to pick up the incense in the copper stove.
As the wind blows, the curtains of the bed are stirred, one after another, and the fragrance bursts out.
She was only wearing pajamas, her clothes were half exposed, and her skin was flawless under the candlelight. Changle leaned against the window, watching the scene in front of her, her eyes trembling, "Who is Master Qin waiting for?"
"About waiting for a wanderer." Qin Wan closed the lid of the copper stove, walked on the bed as if nothing had happened, Chang Le understood what he meant, and walked in through the window.
The figure was thin under the candlelight, she lifted the veil, looked at the icy skin of the person on the couch, and asked curiously, "You are waiting for me tonight?"
Qin Wan didn't speak, she brushed her hair with her fingertips, and smiled: "You should be you, it's you, whatever you want."
The beautiful woman is on the couch, and she is the one she loves. There is never anyone who can sit still, Chang Le suddenly dare not move, and clicked twice: "Why did Master Qin deliberately seduce me, and then call someone to catch me? Bullying you is the time of my death."
"Your Highness Chang Le can go out." Qin Wan lay down, touched the blanket to wrap herself up, and covered her half-exposed shoulders.
The phantom flashed, and Changle's eyes were dim. She said regretfully: "Your Majesty is in front, and I will go straight in."
After finishing speaking, she lowered the brocade tent, and Qin Wan's provocative posture appeared in front of her eyes. Looking at the charming and reserved woman in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh: "If you're so tempting, aren't you afraid that I'll only be greedy for your body?"
"His Highness Changle has countless people, and will he retreat?" Qin Wan satirized lightly, raised his jaw, and looked arrogant.
Chang Le covered her mouth, leaned over to suppress her: "Tell me, what kind of conspiracy do you have?"
Qin Wan smiled softly, hooked her neck, and pulled her towards her chest: "It's extremely inappropriate to talk about conspiracy on the bed. Talk about interesting things first, and then talk about conspiracy."
The author has something to say: Qin Wan: It's not good to talk about it in bed.
Lin Ran: You can talk about it, it must be like how to live...
The previous red envelopes have been sent out, and 50 are randomly given in this chapter.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The young man's body was flawless, and he didn't have any bruises. Mu Liang was serious, which made Lin Ran extremely shy, and hurriedly hid in the water, "Are you sure about it?"
Mu Liang was worried in his heart, his expression remained the same, but was brought back to reality by her shy eyes, his face turned red when he thought of his actions, and he dared not look at her with lowered eyes.
Lin Ran turned his back to her, wiped off the dirt on his face with water, and then looked back at her: "Am I clean?"
Mu Liang raised her eyelids and found that the blood on the brows was still there. She wet her fingertips and rubbed her fingertips on the brows. After rubbing twice, she found that the blood was gone, and some blood beads came out.
She immediately withdrew her hand, took a clean veil and wiped it lightly, saying: "It's scratched a bit, don't touch the water."
Lin Ran didn't care, and instead pulled her into the water, seeing her unchanging expression and red ear tips, said in a low voice, "Ah Liang just likes acting, acting, reserved, reserved."
Suddenly entering the water, Mu Liang only let out a cry of surprise, and calmed down after getting close to Lin Ran, without speaking, just gently rubbing her shoulder with a wet handkerchief.
Her eyebrows and eyes were low, she seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be unhappy. Lin Ran knew that she had worried her tonight, so she took the initiative to embrace her: "Ah Liang, you are angry."
"Yeah." Mu Liang didn't deny it, she was really unhappy.
Lin Ran's hand moved around her waist, and she took it off cleanly, and she couldn't be allowed to wear so much.Fortunately, Mu Liang didn't stop him, and the wet clothes were uncomfortable on his body.
The exquisite curves in the water were seductive, Lin Ran took off her blouse, and confessed in a low voice, "I shouldn't have left you alone."
Mu Liang didn't answer.
Lin Ran took it as her acquiescence, touched her ear with his fingertips, she kissed her, and whispered: "I, I won't do it next time."
Mu Liang was still silent, rubbing the handkerchief on her shoulders until the small piece of skin turned red, "You have your own way, I don't ask for anything, I just hope that you will take care of your own safety before acting." That's it."
She stuffed the handkerchief into Lin Ran's hand, and went ashore to change into clean clothes.
Through the screen, Lin Ran felt that she was really angry.Ah Liang is different from Dad, Dad is furious when he is angry, on the contrary, the angrier she is, the quieter she appears.
She was a little at a loss, hurriedly washed herself, changed her clothes and went out, the servant came to report: "The assassin has been controlled, His Highness Xinyang suffered some injuries, but not serious, as for the other ministers and family members, we don't know yet. More than half of the courtiers were killed or injured this time."
The assassin pretended to be a soldier at the gate of the city, and slashed with a knife, how could he not kill anyone.
Since there was nothing wrong with Xinyang, she didn't care, and ordered the servant to retreat, and went back to the house cautiously.Mu Liang changed her clothes and wiped the wet hair in the room.
Lin Ran walked over and reached out to take her dry handkerchief, "I'll wipe it for you."
"I'm afraid I'm tired tonight, you go to rest first." Mu Liang rarely refused her, avoided her hands, and turned half of her body.
Lin Ran was not a discouraged person either, A Liang refused to let her go, and she didn't leave, she walked aside and waited quietly, muttering: "You are angry, I know you are angry, I will definitely change it next time, okay?". "
"Whether you change it or not is your own business. Your life is your own. If I can see it, you can change it. If you can't see it, do you change it?" Mu Liang put down the veil and got on the bed first.
Lin Ran was overwhelmed by her indifferent attitude, and stayed for a while before following her on the bed. She went to turn off the lights, leaned against Mu Liang, and quietly held her hand, not daring to make a sound, just being so quiet hold it firmly.
Mu Liang followed her, not refusing to stay silent, but Lin Ran couldn't move anymore, maybe Ah Liang wouldn't listen to her coaxing when he was angry.
When her anger subsides, she may be angry.
The two slept all night with each other's thoughts, Lin Ran got up very early, and asked people to go to Princess Xinyang's mansion to have a look, and went to invite father over for lunch along the way.
Mu Neng avoided a difficult situation last night, and he was still uncertain. In the early morning, someone knocked on the door, and the Eighth Prince sent someone to send a message to him. Many colleagues died last night, so let the Ninth Prince's Mansion pay more attention.
Luoyang City has been in chaos for a long time. There are mountains of corpses piled up on the towers, even below the city. He couldn't pretend to be sick, so he went to the city gate and beat his horse for a walk. It was like a mutiny, and there were still many corpses of his colleagues who were too late to be transported back to the mansion. , just put it downstairs.
He couldn't bear it, and asked the soldiers to help him send him back to the mansion, and the dead would be the worst.
After receiving Lin Ran's letter, he turned around and went to the Princess's Mansion. Lin Ran was teasing the little tiger in the yard. A wild cat who didn't know where it came from stood shivering in front of the little tiger, not daring to move an inch.
The little tiger squatted on its hind legs and wailed twice. It didn't understand what the new friend was shaking. It took a step forward and heard a cat screaming.
Lin Ran raised her forehead, this cat is too cowardly, the cat from last night can also fight tigers, this one makes it tremble at the sight of it, she asked people to take away the stray cat, and then found a few cats outside without owners.
Mu Neng looked at the tiger in her hand and said, "Can you watch the fireworks last night?"
"Why don't you go to see such a grand event." Lin Ran was frustrated, if he didn't go, he wouldn't make A Liang angry, you see A Liang hasn't got up from his bed yet, he is still angry.
She sighed and made Mu Neng think that she saw the bloody side, and said a few words of comfort. She had never seen Mu Liang, and felt strange: "Why isn't Ah Liang here?"
"Ah Liang hasn't woken up yet." Lin Ran replied, and not long after, they heard the sound of the door opening, and the two turned their heads to see Mu Liang standing by the door.
Mu Neng strode over and saw that she looked good, so he didn't care, and said casually: "If you have nothing to do, get me some breakfast, I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back."
The maid quickly set out breakfast, red bean and millet porridge, steamed crystal shrimp dumplings, and a few snacks to go with it, Mu Neng ate five or six dumplings in a row before he said, "I'm afraid Qian Qi did what happened last night. "
Only Qian Qi has the guts to kill people wantonly, and they only pick high-ranking officials. This kind of reckless style of play is to cause civil strife in Luoyang, so that the front line can take advantage of it.
If it wasn't for Xinyang's quick response last night, the new Jinjin would have changed masters, Luoyang was in chaos and no one was in charge, wouldn't it be said that Qian Qi wanted it.
Mu Liang didn't move, and the porridge in front of her didn't even move. Lin Ran glanced at her, put the shrimp dumpling in her bowl, didn't speak, and drank the porridge by herself.
Mu Neng had a big heart, and never saw anything wrong between the two of them, but continued to talk about him: "I look at those civil servants who have died. I'm afraid that the imperial court will not be able to recover for a while. Next year, there will probably be an imperial examination to recruit talented people."
The Emperor Ming emphasized martial arts and despise literature, and he showed contempt for civil servants. The number of imperial examinations held in these years was very small, and most of them were recommended by the ground.This time, the assassination was probably ruined. The military commander might have survived with his kung fu, but the civil servant was sent to his death.
Lin Ran saw the assassination with her own eyes, and never cared about the distinction between civil servants and military generals. They all died under the knife of the assassin anyway. She bit the porridge and said, "Father, what do you think is wrong this time?"
Shouldn't it just be pretended to be like this, and your Majesty is accompanied by the Jinwu Guards when he travels, and he is heavily protected, so the enemy can see through it like this?
"I don't know either. The Jinwu Guard and the guards of the city tower are both His Majesty's people. We can't interfere. The commander of the Jinwu Guard died last night. I don't know who is in charge of the Jinwu Guard now." Mu Neng sighed, which can be considered The Emperor Ming had no choice but to take the blame. After holding on to it for so many years, he would turn the boat over.
Mu Liang didn't speak, just took a few mouthfuls, and Mu Neng left. She told the servants to go to other mansions and send some gifts to the dead or injured. In addition, seeing the six and eight kings last night, let the steward go in person Take a trip to see what is missing, and let someone do it when the time comes.
After giving the order, she turned around and saw Lin Ran standing behind her, giggling, she didn't bother to pay attention, and went into the room.
Lin Ran was ignored by her, but she was not annoyed, and followed her without touching her feet, and leaned close to her, "Ah Liang, are you still angry?"
"No, I just don't want to talk to you."
Lin Ran: "..."
There is no difference between not wanting to talk to her and being angry. She sat down next to Mu Liang, "Then you can listen to me when I talk. Don't go out today. I want to go to the princess mansion."
What happened last night was turned upside down, she wondered where there was a problem with the strength of the troops, and because Xinyang was injured, she had to take a look.
Mu Liang didn't respond, so she continued to mutter: "Ah Liang, I don't think what happened last night was caused by Qian Qi. After all, so many years have passed, how did Qian Qi's influence penetrate into Luoyang?"
She felt strange, but there was no evidence, and she didn't know what was going on, so she had to investigate.
Mu Liang listened for a while, and said directly: "If you want to go, go directly, you don't need to talk so much."
Her affection for Xinyang was exhausted, and she thought she was not a magnanimous person. Seeing the child she took pains to raise, going through life and death for others, she couldn't be calm.
People are selfish, and she doesn't think she is at fault.
"My fault, I shouldn't have left you, so I won't go today, let Xuanyi come over, and we will meet the steward." Lin Ran didn't know why she was so angry, and it was fine if she didn't go, but let Xuanyi come over. good.
After she finished speaking, the maid said that the steward had come, and Zhao Jiuniang came to see her.
Lin Ran asked someone to prepare tea, waited for Zhao Jiuniang to come over, glanced at Mu Liang, and silently moved towards her.
Zhao Jiuniang came here quietly. She was afraid that the head of the family would go out, so she came here early, and she was relieved to see both of them there.
After the maid retreated, she said first: "I should have come here yesterday, but I was delayed in choosing the oiran. The change of the city tower last night is probably a little tricky."
Two girls left on the fourth floor of Fuyun Tower, and now the little girl who is supporting the facade is the little girl who picks up the guests. Zhao Jiuniang has trained an oiran for 20 years, and there is someone who can take over, but she is a little younger, only 13 years old, she doesn't think much about it. He has been hesitant to push people out.
Yesterday she went to pick up the little girl in person and sent her to the Chunzi Building, which delayed her coming to the princess mansion.
The girls who received the customers were trained spies, and they got some news from the prostitutes.The news was recorded in the book in the building, and the keys were all in Jiu Niang's hands. She brought out the book and handed it to the owner.
Lin Ran opened it, and it was the prostitute of a young goalkeeper.
The gates of the city are changed according to shifts. The whore, the drunken customer, told that one of his brothers was sick, and the people above replaced him. After that, many brothers fell ill, and they gave a lot of comfort money, and the Everyone changed.
The prostitute was also thankful that he was in good health, otherwise he would not be able to keep his job. The girl asked the names of his brothers and recorded them carefully.
Seeing dozens of people above, Lin Ran couldn't help being surprised: "Why are they all sick?"
Zhao Jiuniang explained: "It's all a cold, the medicine didn't bring down the fever, and several people died, so it was said that they were changed because they were afraid of infection. I didn't expect to encounter these things last night."
"How come so many people are sick, but there are still people alive?" Mu Liang also felt strange. The Lin family has opened several pharmacies recently. She knows some diseases, and there is absolutely no possibility of Qiqi getting sick, unless someone is strange.
"The madam's problem is the strangest part. I just thought it was someone who wanted to replace my capable confidant and didn't care. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't expect that something big happened last night. It was also the negligence of my subordinates." Zhao Jiuniang guilt.
Lin Ran said, "It wasn't your fault at all, but who changed the person?"
"It's from the Su family. It's a distant relative of the Su family. It's also because the people from the Su family are behind it that no one dares to speak out. But he died last night. I'm afraid there is no symptom for death."
The influence of the Su family has penetrated deeply, and no one dared to resist. After all, the matter of changing people was not a big deal. Those who got sick received a lot of comfort money, so how could they dare to resist.
Lin Ran disagreed with Zhao Jiuniang's meaning, and carefully analyzed: "The Su family is powerful and ruthless in doing things, so they will not give out so much comfort money for no reason, and the person died last night, so the possibility of further investigation is very small. Most of them were used by others, and they were silenced after the event was completed."
The Su family is notoriously stingy, and Su Zhao wished to put all the money into his purse when he was alive. The people below followed suit, how could they send such a large consolation money.
Zhao Jiuniang reacted after being reminded by her, "That's right, people from the Su family who come to play in Fuyun Tower are very stingy, and they don't give if they can. A little guard, where did he get so much money?"
"Please trouble Jiuniang to pay more attention to the matter behind the scenes. Uncle must be awake. You can take a look before you leave." Lin Ran signaled the servant girl to lead her to the backyard. Lin Si was bored in the backyard. Seeing his old subordinates, he must be happy some.
Zhao Jiuniang showed gratitude and left with the maid.
Lin Ran held the booklet, feeling uneasy, thinking about this matter, she felt terrified, and unconsciously asked A Liang what she meant: "A Liang, what do you think is the purpose behind this matter?"
"According to the news that Jiuniang got, I'm afraid that what happened last night is to blame the Su family. Unfortunately, the man is dead. If we chase after layers, we may find out the Su family." Mu Liang guessed, There is a deepness in the eyes.
Lin Ran leaned closer to her: "Do you think that what happened last night was aimed at His Highness Xinyang? If she dies and blames the Su family, the one who benefits will be His Highness who is far away in the fief."
Mu Liang thought about it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, and he disagreed with her opinion: "Maybe it's the enemy's cover-up. In order to cause civil strife in Luoyang, the Su family will suffer suspicion and Xinyang will suffer, and they will also benefit."
The matter in front of him was like a cloud of fog, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while, Lin Ran didn't think about it any more, and waited for Jiu Niang to check it out before making a conclusion.She saw the booklet in her hand, and said: "I'll make a copy of this thing, send it to Dad, and ask him what he means."
She asked someone to fetch pens and ink, and Mu Liang just watched casually from the sidelines and didn't help. She remembered what happened many years ago in her mind. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this incident, and she had a feeling in her heart , this matter is not necessarily what Qian Qi did.
Back then, Luo Qing conspired with Xinyang to cut off all the powers of Qian Qi, and in the past so many years, Luoyang City has undergone several changes, and the powers are complicated. It is impossible for anyone to work for Qian Qi, and the Su family will not be so stupid of.
Perhaps as Lin Ran said, the person behind him kills two birds with one stone.
That being the case, why not let nature take its course.
After Lin Ran finished transcribing, he sent Mu Huai to the palace. Xuan Yi happened to come to see him, and the two went to the study.
Xuan Yi stayed at the Princess Mansion last night to handle business, and when he got the news, the assassin had already been killed, and after a night of investigation, he could not find out the source. After all, there were too many casualties at that time, and it took a whole night to even clean up the corpses.
Lin Ran was not tactful, and handed the brochure to her directly: "This is the news I got, and you will pass it on to Your Highness when the time comes. How is Your Majesty's health, and how is the court?"
"Your Majesty fainted yesterday and hasn't woken up yet. His Majesty and General Su held down the news together, but they are still stable. The imperial court suffered heavy losses this time, and more than half of the six departments were killed or injured." Xuanyi couldn't help feeling sorry, too many people died last night. Wenchen, His Highness sent people to stabilize the six departments so that they did not lose control.
Right now, I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to interfere with it, and the situation will be difficult to clean up. Moreover, if Luoyang is in civil unrest, the front line will be unstable.
Internal and external troubles are the most deadly.
Lin Ran didn't care about His Majesty's life or death, but if she died, the Luo family's affairs would not be cleared up, and she had to live. Presumably this was the reason why His Highness Xinyang desperately rescued him.
No one has been found yet, but His Royal Highness Xinyang and Su Changlan are in power together... She leaned on the couch and thought for a while, then tentatively said: "You spread this news, the sooner the better."
If you want to make a mess, make it a mess.
Xuan Yi glanced at the records in the brochure, and didn't quite understand Lin Ran's meaning: "Patriarch Lin, forgive Xuan Yi for taking the liberty to pass it on like this, I'm afraid the chaos will be even faster."
"Right now is the best opportunity for your Highness to recruit, why not use such a great opportunity to give face to the Su family." Lin Ran explained to her, with a slight smile, Xuanyi was full of foolish loyalty and didn't know how to adapt.
Xuan Yi still didn't quite understand, "This matter was not done by the Su family, isn't this wronged?"
Lin Ran thought for a while, and slowly explained to her: "This trick is to kill people with a knife, and it also gives the person behind him a chance to succeed, but His Highness Xinyang will not suffer. Right now, she and the Su family share the power equally. If the Su family is guessed, she will It has the upper hand. Even if we know that this matter has nothing to do with the Su family, we will not take the initiative to mention it."
The person behind is killing people with a knife, but she won't care about it. Killing the Su family is the most important step for her.
Even if you know that you will fall into a conspiracy, it's worth it.
Xuanyi seemed to understand, but retreated out with the brochure.
Today's Luoyang City is extremely quiet, even in the usually lively neighborhood, there are not many people to be seen, and three or two pedestrians walk very fast, holding the things in their hands, and walking with their heads buried.
The same is true for Zhao's Embroidery Workshop. Lin Ran sat in the carriage and took a look. Zhao Fuyun was talking to the staff in the store, but there were no customers in the Lin's Embroidery Workshop. She simply asked the steward to close the door, and went home to rest for half a day.
The embroiderer couldn't help but thanked her again and again. Lin Ran was sitting in the embroidery workshop, and the steward was also moaning. After what happened last night, Luoyang city was like a ghost town, and the business couldn't continue.
After Lin Ran visited a few shops in the city, he returned home.
Emperor Ming in the palace woke up at dusk, looking weak, Qin Wan waited on him, she stayed up all night, her eyes were black and blue.After finally surviving until Emperor Ming woke up, she had time to retreat and go to the side hall to rest.
When Emperor Ming woke up, he went to summon Su Changlan. Xinyang was outside the hall, and told her the news: "Someone secretly reported that a distant nephew of the Su family replaced several soldiers at the city gate a few days ago."
"Where did you get the secret report, don't talk nonsense." Emperor Ming didn't believe her, a few white strands of hair emerged from his temples overnight, and he had to accept the old age, especially when looking at people with cloudy eyes. Although the majesty is there, youth is gone passed away.
She struggled to remove the memorabilia on the couch, and pointed to Xinyang: "You are slandering, it's because you have evil intentions."
She shouted hoarsely, and attracted the maids outside the palace, as well as Qin Wan from the side hall.When they rushed in, they saw His Highness Xinyang leaning over to pick up the memorial, and His Majesty coughing on the couch.
Qin Wan walked over, stroked His Majesty's back, and gave her comfort, "Your Majesty calm down, don't get on your body."
Xin Yang put the memorial on the small table next to the couch as before, ordered the maidservant to back down, and said to Qin Wan: "Master Qin, go out first, I have something to talk to Your Highness."
Qin Wan looked at Emperor Ming worriedly, and withdrew her hand, seeing that His Majesty did not refuse, she took the initiative to retreat.
When the door of the palace was closed, Xin Yang said: "Why are you angry? I just showed you the evidence. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can go and investigate. If I have something wrong, my Majesty died last night."
She was calm, and Emperor Ming also calmed down his emotions. He read the memorial from the beginning to the end, still doubtful: "That person is dead, how do you prove it?"
"He is dead, but the soldiers who were replaced are still alive. If we check one by one, there will always be evidence."
Emperor Ming leaned against the pillow, the white hair on his temples was very conspicuous. She was thinking about what happened last night, looking straight into Xinyang's eyes: "You don't need to investigate this matter, you hand over all the evidence in your hand to Qin Wan, she Will find out."
"Yes, but Su Changlan's military power must be removed. This is the biggest concession of the minister. Your Majesty may not know how many courtiers died last night. There is a list of seals here. You can take a look. Half of the six departments were killed or injured, including your right-hand man. If it wasn't for Qin Wan not driving, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to avoid it."
Xinyang handed her the list indifferently. As for those evidences, it was impossible to give them. She could not reveal Lin and Fuyunlou. She only left the memorandum, and let your Majesty investigate the rest.
There were hundreds of people on the list, and the long string of numbers made Emperor Ming dizzy in front of his eyes. She was so angry that she almost threw it out, and cursed: "It's hateful, it's simply hateful, you put my dignity under your feet, you are against the party, you are all evil!" Against the party..."
She yelled loudly, Xinyang didn't care about it, but walked to Zichen Palace calmly, since His Majesty woke up, there is no need for her to stay in the palace to sit in command.
When His Royal Highness Xinyang left the palace, His Majesty summoned important ministers to discuss matters, leaving Su Changlan out, making people confused for a while.
Qin Wan never had a rest day and night, Emperor Ming ordered her to go back to rest and not to be on duty, she had nothing to do to pick up the incense in the copper stove.
As the wind blows, the curtains of the bed are stirred, one after another, and the fragrance bursts out.
She was only wearing pajamas, her clothes were half exposed, and her skin was flawless under the candlelight. Changle leaned against the window, watching the scene in front of her, her eyes trembling, "Who is Master Qin waiting for?"
"About waiting for a wanderer." Qin Wan closed the lid of the copper stove, walked on the bed as if nothing had happened, Chang Le understood what he meant, and walked in through the window.
The figure was thin under the candlelight, she lifted the veil, looked at the icy skin of the person on the couch, and asked curiously, "You are waiting for me tonight?"
Qin Wan didn't speak, she brushed her hair with her fingertips, and smiled: "You should be you, it's you, whatever you want."
The beautiful woman is on the couch, and she is the one she loves. There is never anyone who can sit still, Chang Le suddenly dare not move, and clicked twice: "Why did Master Qin deliberately seduce me, and then call someone to catch me? Bullying you is the time of my death."
"Your Highness Chang Le can go out." Qin Wan lay down, touched the blanket to wrap herself up, and covered her half-exposed shoulders.
The phantom flashed, and Changle's eyes were dim. She said regretfully: "Your Majesty is in front, and I will go straight in."
After finishing speaking, she lowered the brocade tent, and Qin Wan's provocative posture appeared in front of her eyes. Looking at the charming and reserved woman in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh: "If you're so tempting, aren't you afraid that I'll only be greedy for your body?"
"His Highness Changle has countless people, and will he retreat?" Qin Wan satirized lightly, raised his jaw, and looked arrogant.
Chang Le covered her mouth, leaned over to suppress her: "Tell me, what kind of conspiracy do you have?"
Qin Wan smiled softly, hooked her neck, and pulled her towards her chest: "It's extremely inappropriate to talk about conspiracy on the bed. Talk about interesting things first, and then talk about conspiracy."
The author has something to say: Qin Wan: It's not good to talk about it in bed.
Lin Ran: You can talk about it, it must be like how to live...
The previous red envelopes have been sent out, and 50 are randomly given in this chapter.
