Wind and Rain Empire

In the imperial garden

These days, the weather is fine almost every day, the flowers are blooming, and the garden is full of flowers.The emperor and Zi Linglong walked on the flower path, followed by the maid and eunuch

The emperor looked at Zi Linglong with a smile while admiring the flowers, and asked

"Beauty, I heard Eunuch Wu say that you stayed at the gate of the palace for half the night, why didn't you rest when you were so weak?"

"The concubine heard that the palace man said that General Lan was kidnapped by the villains, and was worried. She wanted to hear the news of General Lan's safety as soon as possible, so she stood guard at the gate of the palace for a while. After hearing the palace man's report that she was safe, she went back to rest.

The emperor caressed Zi Linglong's hand

"Linglong, you and Xueyi have a really good relationship."

Zi Linglong smiled

"That's natural. Xueyi and I have known each other since childhood, and we have been alone in the capital for more than half a month. Xueyi has a bold and straightforward personality like a boy, and treats me like my own sister. The concubine likes her very much, so I learned that She will be particularly worried when her life is in danger."

The emperor tentatively asked

"If my life was in danger, Linglong, would you be so worried about me?"

Zi Linglong slapped the emperor's hand

"Don't make jokes like this, officials. How can you be in danger of your life?"

"Then if I get sick someday, will you care about me?"

Zi Linglong's eyes are still like a calm lake

"Rong Chenqie tells the truth, if there is a day, Chenqie will not only care about the official family, but also stay by the official family's side and do their best to take care of the official family, but..."

"But your feelings for me are different from Xue Yi?"

Zi Linglong smiled lightly

"Of course, Xueyi and the concubine are sisters, while the official family and the concubine are husband and wife, how could it be the same?"

the emperor shook his head

"Yeah, I feel a little silly when I ask myself."

Zi Linglong looked at the emperor and asked

"Then the official family, who is it that kidnapped Xueyi?"

"It's a team of gold men, and the only thing they caught was an 18-year-old girl."

Zi Linglong frowned in confusion

"An 18-year-old girl? What is her purpose of kidnapping Yuki?"

"I don't know about this. I have already sent her to Dali Temple. It is said that she didn't say anything when she was interrogated."

The answer has already surfaced in Zi Linglong's heart, thinking silently

"Eighty percent of them are being spotted by others again."

Detention Center for Female Prisoners in Dali Temple Prison

A strange smell emanated from the gloomy and damp dungeon. Lan Xueyi held her nose and walked down the steps. All she saw along the way were female prisoners who had been tortured to death

In one of the prisons, Wan Yanyue's hands were hung, her body was covered with welts, her face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding

The jailer poured a basin of water on Wanyanyue's face, Wanyanyue woke up

the jailer cursed

"You bitch of the Kingdom of Jin, have you had enough sleep? Continue to explain!"

Wan Yanyue let out a weak "Bah"

The jailer grabbed Wanyanyue's hair, slapped her twice, and angrily released Wanyanyue's handcuffs.

"If you don't give me some color, you don't even know who you are (shouting) come and help me!"

Jailor 2 stepped forward, pushed Wanyanyue to the ground, and put her on the torture tool "finger"

The jailer kicked Wan Yanyue

"I'll ask you one last time, who taught you to assassinate General Lan?"

Wan Yanyue shook her head

"No one else, just my own meaning"

Jailor 2 spit on the ground

"Hey, it's really toasting and not eating fine wine"

The two guards pulled their fingers apart, and Wan Yanyue screamed in pain.

Then came the voice of Lan Xueyi

"stop!"

Lan Xueyi walked towards the prison and angrily reprimanded the two

"Who allowed you to torture her?"

The two guards let go of their fingers, ran out of the prison, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute

"I don't know when the general arrives, but she is far away. (After watching Yan Yue) The superior ordered us to find out who is her envoy, and this golden dog is very tight-lipped, so the younger ones have to use severe torture to serve her."

Lan Xueyi looks upright

"I don't care about what your superiors say, but they definitely didn't ask you to torture and extract confessions. What do you want to prove by torturing prisoners who have no power to restrain them like this? Are you trying to make fun of it?"

The jailers didn't answer

Lan Xueyi pointed at Wanyanyue

"Bring her out to the general, and the general will personally interrogate her."

The two guards looked at each other, a little worried, and the two guards said to Lan Xueyi

"General, it's not that the little ones refuse to let go... (interrupted)"

"Then carry it out for her, the general doesn't need to listen to the rest."

The two guards helplessly lifted Wanyanyue out of the prison and put her on the ground

Lan Xueyi looked at Wanyanyue who was covered in scars and bloody fingers, frowned tightly, picked up Wanyanyue horizontally, turned around and prepared to leave

The jailer called Lan Xueyi to stop

"Hey general, where are you taking the prisoner?"

"Tell you superiors, this general will personally interrogate the prisoner. If you have any doubts, just come to this general."

Lan Xueyi didn't say anything more, and walked out of the dungeon with Wanyanyue in her arms

The gate of General Lan's Mansion

After dismounting from the horse, Lan Xueyi walked quickly with Wanyanyue in his arms

she whispered

"Oh my god, die again, die again, die again, die again"

After entering the yard, Wang Yuhe greeted

"Wang Ma, you came just in time, help me carry it to my room"

Wang Yuhe looked down at Yan Yue

"Oh my god, who is this bloody thing? Why did you carry it to your room, aren't you afraid of dirtying your bed?"

"That's right, then take it to any guest room you want."

Wang Yuhe just looked at

"Why did you carry it into the room? She's all over her body like this, so she can just throw it on the ground. Isn't it because I do the cleaning when the room is dirty? I don't want to do the cleaning."

Lan Xueyi shook her head, hugged Wanyanyue and kicked open the guest room door

Wang Yuhe was depressed, and whispered

“It's disgusting, the sheets have to be changed again”

Lan Xueyi put Wanyanyue on the bed, took off her clothes

Wang Yuhe went in to check the situation, and found that Lan Xueyi was undressing Wan Yanyue, she was shocked, and hurried forward to push Lan Xueyi away)

"Xue Yi, what are you doing, you are a big girl, you take off her clothes?"

Lan Xueyi looked at Wang Ma

"Hey, I'm going to apply medicine to her. If you don't take off your clothes after applying the medicine, don't you just put it on? Also, Mama Wang, you seem to have forgotten something?"

Wang Yuhe looked at Lan Xueyi and thought

"what's up?"

"You forgot that I'm a big girl too!"

Wang Yuhe suddenly remembered, and slapped his forehead

"Oh! Oh, yes, yes, I forgot about this!"

Lan Xueyi rolled her eyes at Wang Yuhe

"Can you forget about this?"

Wang Ma argued, "Isn't it all because you always wear men's clothing and I treat you as a boy?" She pointed at Wan Yanyue and asked

"But who is this girl? How did you make it like this?"

"Isn't this the Wanyanyue? She was tortured like this by the guards in the prison!"

Wang Yuhe was shocked

"Wanyanyue? (pulls Lan Xueyi aside) You, why are you saving her? Didn't she just want to kill you? She kidnapped you!"

Lan Xueyi sighed, pointing his thumb behind him

"Her? Just because she wants to kill me? She won't be my opponent after another 100 years of practice. As for me being kidnapped, it was because her accomplices knew how to do acupuncture, so they took me away. Besides, I'm fine," she said. She made it up when she wanted to kill me, she just wanted me to be subdued and become her servant, and she wanted to bring me to the Kingdom of Jin to show off, that's all"

Wanyanyue opened her eyes slightly, listening quietly to the conversation between Lan Xueyi and Wang Ma

Wang Yuhe started nagging again

"Xueyi, it's not me talking about you, you're just too kind. You've spared her so many times, it's fine if she doesn't know how to repay her kindness, and she's just looking for trouble for you. According to me, we should find her a place The son is buried, and now she is weak, and besides, killing a golden man is not illegal in our Song Dynasty, so if she survives in the future, she may cause us trouble!"

Lan Xueyi touched Wang Yuhe with her hand

"Wang Ma, Wang Ma, thanks to you, you can figure it out, bury it alive?"

She glanced back, realized that Wanyanyue had woken up, and immediately changed her words, trying to play tricks on Wanyanyue

"Good idea! That's it! You hurry up and find a piece of land to dig a hole!"

Wang Yuhe muttered, and asked Lan Xueyi

"I'll go? I'm an old woman, when will you point me to dig a hole?"

"Then you don't dig it and you still point at me to dig it? Then why are you mentioning it?"

Lan Xueyi walked up to Wanyanyue, pretending not to know that Wanyanyue woke up, and yelled loudly

"Then Wang Ma, go find a straw mat, wrap it up for her and throw it on the side of the road. She loves it to death, loves it to death."

Wang Yuhe clapped her hands happily

"Okay, this is easy, I'll go find it"

As soon as Wang Yuhe walked out the door

Lan Xueyi faced Wanyanyue with her eyes closed

"Stop pretending, I know you're awake, I wanted to scare you and say I'm going to bury you alive, but now that you think about it, you probably won't be scared anymore."

Wanyanyue opened her eyes and looked at Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi squatted down, facing Wanyanyue

"Do you know why I let you go several times in a row? One is to sympathize with you. It is really not easy for a young girl like you, and the other is to know why you chased and killed Cao Ke."

Wan Yanyue wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound

Lan Xueyi reached out to stop her

"Don't speak in a hurry, your body is seriously injured, especially your fingers (lightly touched Wan Yanyue's hand) If the two guards try harder, your fingers will be lost (from the sleeve Take out the ointment from inside) I see that your arm that was scratched by me last time has completely healed, this time the injury will take a little more, and the recovery time you need will be longer, you can rest assured that I am here Stay here and go back when your injury is better."

Tears flowed from Wanyanyue's eyes

Lan Xueyi smiled and wiped away her tears

"Stop crying, your face is swollen like a steamed stuffed bun, it will be even uglier if you cry again"

Wan Yanyue sat up with all her strength and hugged Lan Xueyi, uttering two words with great difficulty

"thanks……"

At this moment, Wang Yuhe entered the door with a roll of mats in his arms, muttering

"I just bought this mat this year and haven't used it yet. I don't know if it's long enough."

Then he saw Wan Yanyue hugging Lan Xueyi, Wang Yuhe was stunned

Lan Xueyi stretched out her hands and waved them, indicating that she was not holding Wanyanyue

"She's awake"

"Then this mat won't be useful anymore."

Then Wang Yuhe picked up a chair in the room and walked towards the two of them, ready to smash Wan Yanyue to death.

Lan Xueyi hurriedly got up

"No, Wang Ma, do you really want to smash her to death?"

Wang Yuhe asked

"Otherwise? What else can I do? If you keep her, the officials will think that you have colluded with the Jinren!"

"You are not my adoptive father, how do you know what the adoptive father thinks? Stop it!"

Wang Yuhe put down the chair

At this time, the voice of the guard came from outside the door.

"General, something happened in the palace"

Lan Xueyi patted Yan Yue lightly, and said to Wang Ma

"From today onwards, Wanyanyue is dead, so you don't have to worry about her anymore, she will leave after recovering from her injuries (turn to Wanyanyue) After you leave here, you must not take revenge on the people of Song Dynasty, if you still want to kill people Come to me, the general will accompany you at any time (turning to Wang Yuhe) Wang Ma, you can give her medicine, I will go to the palace."

Wang Yuhe didn't speak, just waved his hand to let Lan Xueyi go

In the imperial garden

The emperor and Zi Linglong were still sitting in the pavilion by the side of the road, Zi Linglong was leaning on the emperor's shoulder, and they were watching the flowers

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Zi Linglong said from the bottom of her heart

"It would be great if such a comfortable time could stop and become eternity"

emperor slow

"I see this beautiful scenery every year...beauty, I always feel wronged by you"

Zi Linglong looked up at the emperor

"Official family, you care so much about the courtiers and concubines, the courtiers and concubines can't thank you enough, the courtiers do not know how to repay the official family's favor for the courtiers and concubines, how can the officials wrong the courtiers and concubines?"

"You shouldn't be polite to me. Concubine Chen has always been stubborn and stingy in her words. If she hadn't given birth to a prince for me, I wouldn't have made her my concubine. But the prince died shortly after giving birth. , I have not seen any conceived children since then."

Zi Linglong turned her gaze elsewhere

"Sister Concubine Chen is still young, and there are plenty of opportunities. If her heart is kinder, I'm afraid it won't be like this. After all, sister is also a poor person, and now that the government favors the concubine, the concubine may not be able to do so." Add princes to the official family like other sisters."

"You saved the queen's life, but I only made you a beauty. You don't blame me, do you?"

"How could it be? A concubine enters the palace without a name for profit... (interrupted)"

Eunuch Wu ran up panting

"The official family, the empress, she...she..."

The emperor became anxious

"What is she, tell me quickly!"

"The queen is dying!"

the emperor stood up

"How long has it been? Is there an hour? Wasn't it fine just now? What's going on!"

Eunuch Wu shook his head

"I don't know the specific old slave, you should go and have a look as soon as possible, the official."

Zi Linglong also stood up immediately

"Officials, if you don't think the concubine is in the way, please allow the concubine to go and have a look."

"Well, let's go faster then."

"Yes, official"

In front of Empress Han's bed in Renming Hall

The emperor stepped forward quickly, followed closely by Zi Linglong, the emperor held the queen's hand, and Yongping was lying on the bedside of the queen

Empress Han stroked Princess Yongping's head while panting and said

"Ping'er, I'm afraid the queen mother will die (frowning tightly)"

Yongping is crying

"Mother, don't say that! Yongping doesn't want you to leave, Yongping wants mother to stay with Yongping all the time"

The emperor sat up and held the queen's hand

"Queen, how are you? What are your symptoms now?"

The queen hastily shed tears

"Official family, my concubine is leaving, please take care... Thank you... Thank you for your company for many years, treating my concubine... so well..."

Then she took Zi Linglong's hand

"Linglong, the emperor and Yongping... are all entrusted to you"

Zi Linglong was startled by the queen's entrustment

"Where is the queen, the concubines dare not go over there"

The queen finally died "Must..."

The empress swallowed her last breath, put down the hand holding Zi Linglong, and let it hang gently on the side of the couch

Crying in the bedroom, Yongping hugged the queen's body and wept bitterly

The emperor also hugged the queen and cried

"Queen...Queen...you have been with me for so many years, I...can't bear you..."

The emperor was in tears all the time, and Zi Linglong, who was sitting by the side, didn't have any special feelings because she had very little friendship with the queen, so she didn't even bother to cry symbolically

Fortunately, the emperor was sad and didn't care about Zi Linglong

Zi Linglong thought to herself, "Theoretically speaking, as long as you don't take the poison after taking the life-saving pill, no one will die so quickly."

So she turned to ask the maid of Kunning Palace

"Did the queen eat anything before?"

The maid cried and answered

"I didn't eat anything, I just drank a bowl of soup because I felt a little hot in the afternoon"

Zi Linglong asked, "What soup?"

"crab soup"

This made Zi Linglong feel strange

"Crab meat soup? (Internal monologue) This is a very common soup, there shouldn't be any problem. (Ask the maid) Where did the crab come from, dead or alive?"

"The crab is a gift given by the empresses when they came to congratulate the empress on her recovery. They have probably been raised all the time, so they should be alive."

"Who exactly sent it?"

Maid shakes her head

"Slaves don't know"

The emperor still hugs the queen and weeps

Zi Linglong looked at the emperor, to the maid

"It's none of your business now, what are you still doing here? Go down."

The maids responded

"Yes, Your Majesty" then saluted and stepped back

Zi Linglong looked at the queen's body, and said to herself

"It seems that there are quite a few people in this palace who like to play tricks. It's really interesting."

The author has something to say:

Zi Linglong: Why am I a character with no expression?

Xiaohua: Because you entered the palace

Zi Linglong: What does this have to do with my entry into the palace?

Xiaohua: There is an emperor in the palace...

Zi Linglong: ...

Xiaohua: Look, don't you have no expression now?

Zi Linglong: But I was not like this before!

Xiao Hua: Because you are with General Lan every day

Zi Linglong: (*^__^*)
