Floating Life Half Awake GL

Nanjing Imperial City

"Queen Qi, news has just been sent from Pingnan that the king of Pingnan, Leng Zongmu, died suddenly a day ago."

After the trial, the woman in the scarlet phoenix robe slowly raised her head, a pair of beautiful eyes glowing with a gloomy light under the candlelight.

"The news is true"

"The palace is completely plain, and everyone in Tiance's army wears white cloths on their heads. It should be true."

"should be true"

The sudden rising ending sound, and the sound of the memorial being snapped shut, reverberated faintly in the silent hall, like the whimpering sound of a sharp blade.

The kneeling person was so frightened that he immediately knocked his head on the ground with a muffled sound, "The villain has neglected his duty, please forgive me, the queen!".

The woman slowly opened the memorial in her hand, and said four words without raising her head, "Go and receive the punishment."

In a blink of an eye, there was only the woman left in the hall.

I saw him tilting his head slightly, looking at the lightly dancing candlelight, his eyes were dim and uncertain, half ringing.

"Come here, tell Fei Guo Gong Fei Qian to enter the palace for an audience"

On March 28, the ninth year of Taiping, King Pingnan was buried on the east side of Biqiu Mountain.

The former princess Xia Lan fainted on the way back to the mansion, and was rushed back to the mansion by the current Pingnan Wang Linyan.

Fortunately, the doctor said there was nothing serious about it, it was just a poor diet, excessive fatigue, and excessive sadness.

Even so, the doctor still reminded me again and again that I should eat more tonics in the future, so as to rest well, and it is impossible to have big mood swings, otherwise it will damage the fetus in the womb.

Lin Yan only answered one good word, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I didn't think it before, but since Leng Zongmu left, Lin Yan discovered that Xia Lan is really a stubborn and brave woman.

Even though he was not in good health, he insisted on kneeling with her, even in the daytime, and wanted to stay overnight at night.

No matter how Man'er and the others tried to persuade her, Lin Yan just knelt beside her and listened silently. In the end, she couldn't help but persuade her, "Go to sleep for a while, I'm here."

Xia Lan looked at her sideways for a while, her sad eyes moved slightly, "Okay, if I can't hold on anymore, I'll go back to my room."

"..."

Lin Yan opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

As soon as the third watch bang sounded, Xia Lan, who was kneeling in the middle of the mourning hall, fell down. In the silent midnight, there was only a muffled bang.

Fortunately, Lin Yan tried his best to hug Xia Lan in time before she fell to the ground, and then used his body to cushion her.

Fortunately, Lin Yan let the doctor stay in the palace earlier.

After the doctor examined the pulse carefully, fortunately, there was nothing serious, but he repeatedly told him not to make such a fuss anymore, and he must rest well tonight.

In order to prevent Xia Lan from waking up too soon, Lin Yan had no choice but to order Man'er to light incense in the room to help sleep.

In this way, Xia Lan slept peacefully until the next morning.

After waking up, he ate two mouthfuls of porridge indiscriminately and then went to the mourning hall. Lin Yan, who was already dark, only frowned, and didn't speak to stop him.

When it was time for lunch, Xia Lan said she had no appetite. After Man'er persuaded her for a long time, Xia Lan still shook her head. Seeing this, Lin Yan couldn't keep silent any longer.

"Man'er, help the princess to the next room and serve her meals!"

Recently, Xia Lan's nausea reaction has been reduced a lot, and she seldom feels nauseous.

Thinking about what the doctor said, Lin Yan specially ordered the kitchen to cook Xia Lan a cup of nourishing soup to nourish her body, after all, there are two of them now.

But Xia Lan took two sips and said she couldn't take it anymore. Lin Yan looked at her thin cheeks and pale complexion, and remembered that when she first saw the person in front of her, it seemed that the person in front of her was walking from the clouds, with a faint soft light all over her body. People look so radiant, people can't take their eyes off.

"Then go take a nap, Maner"

Before Lin Yan finished speaking, she heard Xia Lan's voice of refusal, "Yan'er, go to sleep for a while, I'm not sleepy."

Seeing Xia Lan getting up and going to the mourning hall, Lin Yan finally couldn't help but explode.

"Enough! Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to take care of the child in your womb! If he had a spirit in heaven, would he want to see you like this?!"

Obviously it was the other party who was being scolded, but his eyes were red first, and he quickly turned his head to the other side.

Whether it was Cen Nan or Lin Yan, this was the first time she had lost her temper, for everyone, especially for Xia Lan.

The maidservants in the room were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, but the two parties concerned looked at each other. It seemed that they were proud and didn't want to turn back first. In fact, they didn't want the other party to see the turmoil in their eyes. .

Lin Yan understood that Xia Lan couldn't bear to see Leng Zongmu so lonely. Before he left, he didn't even have anyone to send him off. After all, he was blaming himself for failing to give birth to him before he was alive. Half female.

Just because she understood, she didn't stop her too much, but Xia Lan was really,, too stubborn.

In the end, it was Lin Yan who turned his head first, looked at the slightly trembling thin shoulders, misty eyes, walked over, and gently held the cold, soft, boneless fingertips, feeling distressed and regretful have no choice.

In the end, Xia Lan listened to her words and went back to her room to take a nap. Although it was only a short time, it was better than nothing.After that, I eat when it’s time to eat. Even if I don’t have much appetite, I will force myself to eat some, and I will consciously go to bed at night. Although it’s only two hours, it’s better than not sleeping before.

Seeing this, Lin Yan didn't say anything more.

But in the end, Xia Lan fell down again when she returned home from the funeral.

It's sunset again

Lin Yanli stood in front of the bed, watching Man'er carefully tuck up the quilt for the person on the bed, after a while of silence,

"You all go back first"

Soon there were only Lin Yan and Xia Lan left in the inner room. Lin Yan frowned and stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Looking at the faded face in front of him, he frowned tightly, but in the end he only sighed softly.

For Xia Lan who has been forcing herself to support herself until now, she feels distressed and sad, but she can't get angry no matter what.

But for such a self, it is both dissatisfied and helpless.

But it was more of a feeling of relief.

Stretching out his hand, through the thin brocade quilt, he accurately attached to the white and tender catkin.

"Fortunately, God blesses you, you are fine, and your child is fine. In the future, you must not be so willful again"

Lin Yangu muttered to himself, feeling tired like a sudden surging tide, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't hold on for a moment, she was too tired.

"Duk, Tuk, Tuk"

There was a slight knock on the door, and Lin Yan was startled suddenly. The moment he opened his eyes, he looked at the person on the bed first. Fortunately, he was not woken up.

He got off the bed, raised his hand and rubbed his face fiercely, and then walked out of the inner room. As soon as he opened the door, Man'er bowed his head and saluted him.

"Second son, General Han please see me"

Lin Yan ordered someone to pass on the message before, and in the future, everyone in the mansion will still call Xia Lan the princess, but to her, they can just call her the second son.

"Take care of the princess"

When Lin Yan walked to the entrance of the side door of the front hall, he saw Han Tang, who was sitting in the guest seat on the left side of the hall, wearing a black uniform.

"General Han"

He got up, bowed his head, clasped his fists, and gave a very standard salute, "Han Tang has seen the prince."

"General Han, don't be too polite, sit down"

Lin Yan raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, then turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down.

"The late king passed away, and the last general shouldn't have disturbed me at this time, but the matter is urgent, please forgive me, my lord."

Lin Yan just waved his hand, and asked straightforwardly, "But what happened in Nanjing."

Hearing this, Han Tang was taken aback, as if he never thought that Lin Yan had hit the point.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, "Everything is just as the prince expected. Nanjing suddenly increased its troops on the border today. It seems that he must have known about the death of the late king and intended to do something, but he has not taken any action yet."

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Nanjing has fought with the late king no less than a dozen times, winning less and losing more, so they are naturally afraid of the former king. Now that they have learned that the former king has passed away, a five-year-old child will inherit the throne and lead the Tiance Army. It will be ready to move. However," the conversation suddenly changed, "The two countries have finally stopped fighting and made peace, and they still dare not break the covenant easily, so they will still hold a wait-and-see attitude for the time being. Wait until they find out how much the king has. , or when they are more fully prepared, they may tear up the covenant and reignite the flames of war."

After the words fell, Han Tang didn't respond, he just stared at her blankly, with an unbelievable emotion in his eyes.

Indeed, Han Tang's heart at this moment can be described as overwhelmed, he even felt that he was dreaming at this moment, otherwise, how could the words just now come out of the mouth in front of him.

This reminded Han Tang of the day when Leng Zongmu passed away. After hearing the sad news, Han Tang was shocked, but he was more concerned about the stability of the border.

After thinking about it, Han Tang went anyway, even though he knew it was too inappropriate to go to the mansion to discuss these facts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he bumped into Mo Er who was leaving the palace in a hurry.

"General Han, Your Highness is here to invite you"

Han Tang was stunned at the same time, not knowing why the new little prince sent someone to find him at this time.

Full of doubts, he followed Mo Er into the mansion, and when he arrived at the door of the study, he found that the little prince was standing with his back to him, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Han Tang met the prince"

This is not the first time Han Tang saw this young prince, but when she turned around, he suddenly felt that he had never seen her before.

Dressed in white clothes, with a white cloth on his head, his eyes are red, and there is a faint light in the candlelight, showing sadness, but perseverance.Compared with the first time they met, they had faintly revealed the majesty and arrogance of a high-ranking person.

"My lord's condolences", Han Tang hesitated for a moment, and decided not to explain his purpose of coming, "I don't know why the lord called the last general here urgently."

Lin Yan knew that he intended to test, but he didn't care, but went straight to the point, "The news of the death of the former king must soon spread to Nanjing. Nanjing has always been ambitious. In order to prevent it from changing, we need to take precautions early. What does the General think?"

It was exactly what he thought... Han Tang was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react, the person in front of him was only five years old, could it be,,, Xianping Nan Wang made a special confession before his death?

"Does General Han think something is wrong?"

"No", Han Tang suddenly came back to his senses, "What the lord said is true, the last general came here for this matter, I don't think the lord has already thought about it."

Next, Han Tang did not express his thoughts, but asked Lin Yan how he planned to respond.

Lin Yan didn't want to spend too much time with him there, so she directly stated her deployment arrangements, including raising vigilance and alertness, increasing the number and frequency of patrols, increasing troops to border towns, and paying close attention to the people entering and leaving border towns, so as not to Nanjing secret agents took the opportunity to mix in and so on.

It can be said that he was well thought out and arranged properly. Seeing the villain in front of him open and close his lips and speak clearly one by one, Han Tang thought for a moment that he saw the former Pingnan King Leng Zongmu...

"General Han, why do you disagree?"

Han Tang came back to his senses suddenly, bowed his head and clasped his fists and replied, "What the prince said just now, the general also agrees very much, and thinks that in the future, we should not take it lightly, and we need to be ready for battle at any time."

Lin Yan nodded, "What General Han said is very true. In the past few days, the king will first draw up the military deployment and city defense map, and then invite General Han and other generals to refer to it. Right now, General Lao Han will send people to watch What's going on in Nanjing, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible."

"The Last General Takes Order"

Lin Yan clasped his fists back and saluted, Han Tang then turned around and strode away from the palace.

Before today, Han Tang had questioned Leng Zongmu's decision and holy order in his heart, but as a minister, he should obey the emperor's order, and as a soldier, he should obey the general's order, so he also Make up your mind to assist the new King Pingnan well.

Not only for the king and the general, but also for the person who has been hiding in my heart...

But after these few contacts, Han Tang finally understood why Leng Zongmu made such a choice in the first place, and this time, he also made an important decision in his heart...
