Rong Lan

Leaving the teahouse, Rong Lan took Chongwen to the farmland in the outskirts of Beijing, and the pile of scrolls in Qianbo's hands were exactly the blueprints of the land in the capital that she had taken from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Rong Lan found a high slope, and explained to Chongwen the most basic land system of Dazhou in front of the drawings, and finally asked Chongwen: "His Royal Highness, ordinary farmers are allocated by the court according to the size of the mouth. The land is usually not allowed to be traded. It needs to be returned to the court, but the decree also stipulates the circumstances under which it can be bought and sold, what disadvantages does the prince think this will have?"

Chongwen looked at the farmland under his feet and thought: "According to the marking on the map, this should be Koufen Field, but the people who worked in the field just now said that they are tenants and have to pay rent every year."

Rong Lan nodded: "That's right. Yongye Tian owned by high-ranking officials, gentry, and wealthy businessmen can be hereditary, but usually Yongye Tian is a discontinuous small piece of land. In order to connect a large area of ​​the land in their hands, Obtaining more benefits will force farmers to sell their land, or even take it by force. In this way, farmers who originally had land had to lease the land and become tenants.”

Chongwen frowned: "This is too overbearing!"

Rong Lan leaned over and picked up the little fox that was having fun on the ground and walked down the slope, saying, "The division of land by buyers and sellers will not only lead to the reduction of state-owned land, but also the lack of land that can be distributed to farmers. In the long run, farmers will always be in a position of being exploited. It will lead to civil uprisings and even riots. However, Mr. Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is already implementing the New Deal, and this kind of parallelism will soon be contained."

Chongwen followed Rong Lan, frowning even tighter: "But I heard that the implementation of the new policy is not going well, and my father's bad mood may also be related to this."

Rong Lan chuckled: "The reforms of the New Deal seriously affect the interests of the aristocratic class, so there will naturally be many obstacles in its implementation. However, your father is worried about other things."

"Other things..." Chongwen just wanted to ask what his father was worried about, when he saw the new Taifu who was walking in front swayed, as if he was about to lose his footing.

"Teacher!" He blurted out and called Rong Lan "Teacher", and rushed to help her, but it was too late.

"Sir!" Qianbo was collecting the blueprints on the ground, and she couldn't help being surprised when she heard Chongwen's cry.

In the end, it was Mo Xuan who had the kung fu, so he quickly supported Rong Lan, "Teacher is not feeling well?"

Rong Lan calmed down, waved her hands and shook her head indifferently: "It's just a little bit of walking." His body has been recovering well since entering the palace, and there will be a sudden weakness, probably because he has not exercised for a long time.

Speaking of which, when Rong Lan came here, he brought Chongwen all the way from the palace to the farmland located more than ten miles away. Chongwen seldom left the palace. So he let him look around along the way, and gave up the plan of taking the carriage.

Still a child after all!

Thinking about it, Rong Lan stuffed the little fox into Chongwen who ran over anxiously, reached out and rubbed the two horns on Chongwen's head: "Who said early in the morning that they don't want me to be a teacher?"

Chong Wenwen was still worried about the new Grand Tutor's body, so excited by Rong Lan, he blushed immediately, pulled the little fox and said in embarrassment: "You heard it wrong!"

The little fox was so pitiful that he became a scapegoat for his master. After Rong Lan finished rubbing Chongwen's head, he replaced it and continued rubbing.

Chongwen held the little fox in his arms, watching Rong Lan's movements, he felt even more upset, he was like a pet in the eyes of the new Taifu!

On the way back, Mo Xuan was considerate enough to arrange the carriage early in the morning. Rong Lan was really tired from walking during the day. He had been ill for a long time, and although he had mostly recovered, his physical strength might not be as strong as that of Chong Wen, who was only ten years old. Yi sat back in the palace, didn't even want to eat dinner, and planned to sleep.

Qianbo persuaded him: "Sir, you have walked such a long distance today, how can you manage without eating?"

"Don't eat, help me ask if I can take a bath here." Changed to live in the other garden specially set up by the Prince Taifu in the East Palace. The body cold problem is still not healed, the weather has started to turn hot, and he still feels chills all over his body from time to time.

Of course, there is no hot spring in the apse of Jiuzhong Hall for him to soak in. The bathroom is full of steam, and a huge wooden barrel is placed.

Qianbo arranged the change of clothes and turned to go out.

Rong Lan took off his shirt, leaving only his underpants to dip into the bucket. The warm water instantly wrapped his whole body. He crossed his knees in the water, and slowly mobilized the true energy in his body to pour the warmth of the water into his cold body.

This is the inner strength method that Qian Yuchen taught him, the method is gentle, it can nourish the heart, and it can also help oneself to drive away the cold.

Back then, under Qian Yuchen's professor, Rong Lan felt a heat flow in his body for the first time, let alone how excited he was!However, his health is really bad... After three days of fishing and two days of fishing, his internal strength is still so weak that it can be ignored.

Rong Lan practiced cross-legged for a week, and his body was indescribably comfortable from the inside out. He leaned against the bucket and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The ranking is almost tied for the first place. Even the little prince Chongwen can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of eight. He is famous for his Tai Chi sword. It is completely hopeless.

Rong Lan thought about it, and gradually became sleepy.

Qinzheng Hall.

Mo Xuan replied to Chong Yi, "Master, Qian Yuchen's words seem to be..." Before he finished speaking, Chong Yi dropped the memorial and raised his voice quickly: "Zhang De, drive to the East Palace!"

Going to the East Palace is far away, it is in the imperial palace, but it is close, the imperial palace is not small.

Chong Yi had mixed emotions along the way, what was more in his heart was not excitement and joy, but the worry about gains and losses after extreme regret and not getting what he wanted.

In fact, he had suspected for a long time that there could not be someone so similar to Lan'er in this world. Except for the difference in appearance, Mr. Lan could be said to be no different from Lan'er in every way.

There is Yi Rongyi in Jianghu, although he has only heard about it, but Qianyu Zhuang Jianghu is very powerful, and this kind of partial thaumaturgy must be involved.

But if Mr. Lan is really Lan'er, it only means that Lan'er doesn't want him to find her at all, even if she is by his side, she still wants to lie to him so that he won't find out her true identity.

Lan'er is avoiding him!I hate him even more...

That's why he hugged Mr. Lan so many times, and said "I miss you" to Mr. Lan countless times. Apart from resisting, that person just let him hug him indifferently, never refusing to respond.

The night is getting darker, and with it sinking is the heart with heavy wings.

"Where is the master?"

"Go back to the emperor, Master Lan is taking a bath."

Chong Yi raised his foot and walked to the bathroom, Qianbo knelt to stop him outside the bathroom, "Your Majesty, sir, you don't like to be disturbed when you take a shower."

Chong Yi ignored Qianbo at all, walked around him and opened the door, and was shocked when he saw the scene behind the water vapor clearly!

"Lan'er!"

Rong Lan was completely submerged in the water, and the surface of the water was completely quiet. Obviously, she didn't hide in the water because she heard someone coming in.

It's drowning!

Chong Wing rushed forward to fish Rong Lan out of the water, "Lan'er! Lan'er!" He shook Rong Lan, but Rong Lan didn't respond at all, so she hurriedly wrapped Rong Lan in a robe and carried her out of the bathroom: "Hurry up! Go call the doctor!"

Wang Chufeng was arranged by Chong Yi in the East Palace to see a doctor for Rong Lan. He heard the news and rushed over. After a few injections, Rong Lan coughed lightly and woke up.

"emperor……"

Chong Yi looked at Rong Lan anxiously and angrily, feeling infinitely afraid, if he came later...

"No matter what you do in the future, there must be someone by your side!! This is the imperial decree!!"

Qian Bo red-eyed and knelt beside the bed, "It's all because I didn't take good care of Mr.!"

"It's my own carelessness, and it's none of your business." Rong Lan comforted Qianbo, feeling sad in her heart, it's just a bad time, even taking a bath can be life-threatening...

But he was really too tired, vaguely aware that he couldn't fall asleep, he even felt like slipping into the water, but he didn't have the strength to wake up.

"You all go down!" Chong Yi said coldly, everyone in the room retreated, and he tore off the robe that Rong Lan was wearing.

Rong Lan was in a fugue, startled by Zhong Yi's sudden action, subconsciously hugged her chest and shrank back: "What are you doing?! Don't mess around!"

Perhaps it was because the night of "death" in Jiuzhong Temple was so unforgettable, Rong Lan resisted and even feared being naked in front of men.The flickering horror in his eyes deeply hurt Zhong Yi's heart.

Zhong Yi bit his finger, his fingertips trembled, he didn't know whether he should take the last step, maybe after the truth, Lan'er didn't even bother to deal with him in vain and obsequious ways.

But maybe this person is not his Lan'er at all...

He did not hesitate to keep this person in the palace. In fact, he was just using Mr. Lan as Lan'er to deceive and numb himself. He wished that Lan'er was still alive, but if this person was not, the world is so big, he would never have Any reason can be fooled.

Lan'er really only lives in his heart forever...

Chong Yi looked at Rong Lan's body hesitantly, and before he knew it, his fingertips had already touched that piece of cold skin that was as bright as white jade. The physical desire was actually prior to sensibility, and even more above rationality.

Rong Lan couldn't escape, he knew very well what Zhong Yi wanted to do, continuous drops of blood slid down his collarbone, his wet hair stuck to his chest, and was slowly pushed away by Zhong Yi.

I can't hide it now!

Rong Lan even thought about the wording of the showdown after being exposed, but nothing happened to his body covered in blood...

The despair hidden in Zhong Yi's eyes surged instantly, his hand fell down slumped, his stiff body softened, and he stayed where he was in a daze.

No, really not!

How could it not be...

It's so resembling...it's Lan'er!

Why not……? !

The golden cicada mark did not show up, and Rong Lan also looked dazed. He quickly remembered that it was not there when he showed Qian Yuchen the blood test, so he always believed that he was wearing it.

What exactly went wrong?

But Rong Lan didn't worry about why the imprint failed, unlike Zhong Yi's heart that had almost completely collapsed, what he thought was that it was just right when it failed, and he was no longer afraid of his identity being dismantled.

However, before he had time to be happy, Chong Wing's tall body was slowly pressing towards him!

The mountains that seem to be stacked in layers are constantly overturning!

Rong Lan retreated a little bit, and Zhong Yi pressed forward step by step!

"Why aren't you?!"

"You hid Lan'er! Didn't you?!"

"Where is Lan'er...!!"

Rong Lan didn't expect Chong Yi to have such a deep obsession with finding him, just when he was thinking about taking off his mask, suddenly, Chong Yi pressed down on his body like crazy.

The most aggressive kiss followed!

Chong Yi imprisoned Rong Lan tightly with both hands, raging on him, as if he wanted to vent the despair that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time!

"Heavy Wing! Are you crazy?!"

"You let go!!"

"let me go!!"

Rong Lan twisted his body violently, trying to break free, but his resistance only made the irrational Zhong Yi more excited and violent.

Snapped--!

Rong Lan gritted her teeth, using all her internal energy to shake off the heavy wings, raised her hand and slapped the heavy wings!

hoarse!

"Get out of here!"

"roll--!"

Zhong Yi was stunned by Rong Lan's slap.

Rong Lan's palms were numb, and she glared at Chong Yi, her vision gradually blurred by the mist.

The pain of that night in the Jiuzhong Temple, the unwillingness and humiliation in his heart, he thought he had forgotten it as early as the first day of crossing, but only now did he realize that he just hid those unbearable pasts too deeply, after many years, Facing the exact same scene as before, and vividly remembering the past like tears of blood, he still...has grievances!There is hate!

He doesn't want to hate Chong Yi, the opposite of hate is love, he doesn't love!never love...

Chong Yi regained his composure, was stunned for a while, then reached out to touch Rong Lan's eyes, "I... I'm sorry! It's because I couldn't control it."

"Don't touch me!" Rong Lan opened Chong Yi's hand. He didn't cry, and he didn't need Chong Yi to wipe his tears. He pulled the quilt over his head and covered himself. His body and face were covered with water, and he drove away with a muffled voice. : "I'm tired, I want to sleep, please, Your Majesty!"

Chong Yi got up and walked out of the house speechlessly, and then stopped at the end of the dark night house door: "Lan'er has never cried in front of me, but Lan'er must be like you when she cries, she just hides her tears in her eyes stubbornly." Here, I don't want people to see his weakness. I'm sorry for you, and I won't come again."

Rong Lan silently took off the soaked mask, water slid down his pale cheeks, he grabbed the position of his heart, the sudden pain in his heart was only because his heart was not good, just like the water on his face, it was only because his hair was not Dry.

A few days later, in a secret house on the outskirts of Beijing, Rong Xuan discussed with his subordinates how to save King Nan.

In front of everyone was a map of the palace, with detailed markings on it.

One person said: "According to more than half a month's investigation, Your Majesty has been imprisoned in the Lotus Terrace, which is an isolated island in the shape of a lotus flower. It is surrounded by water, and there are arrays under the water. It is impossible to enter by floating. The only way to enter is by boat. No one can get close to the island except the emperor. However, on the fifteenth of every month, there will be ships delivering daily necessities to the island. We can pretend to be the palace servants delivering the goods on the ship, and sneak into the lotus platform to rescue the king without anyone noticing. But The fifteenth day of the lunar month has passed, so we can only wait for next month to do it."

Another person said: "At present, the imperial palace is heavily guarded, and the rotation time of the imperial guards changes every day. There are no rules to find. How to sneak into the imperial palace is a problem."

Rong Xuan said in a deep voice: "Ying will tell Ying about the matter of entering the palace. You just need to meet him at the palace gate."

"What about the general?"

"I have other plans."

It was night, and Yingyi issued a secret order to Yingying, and according to Rong Lan's previous plan, Qianyu Zhuang would pretend to cooperate with Yingying to help Zhongyi lure Yingying to take the bait, and the news was naturally sent to Qianyuchen.

The involvement in this is messy.

Rong Lan never thought that Rong Xuan would agree to save Mu Shaolan in order to get the antidote to Mengqu, but Rong Xuan didn't want Xiao Lan to worry, and never told Rong Lan what he was doing, let alone Qian Yuchen, an outsider. .

Time passed quickly, and Rong Lan either stayed in the East Palace every day to explain ancient books and codes to Chongwen, or took Chongwen outside the palace to watch the lives of the common people.

Chong Yi really never appeared again, and Chong Wen hugged the little fox that he still hated with him all day long, kissing it while still refusing to call Mr. Rong Lan around the new master.

"Hey, what does this mean?"

"They keep staring at you, why don't you cover your face."

"Are you thirsty?"

"I'm not interested in these, I want to take a carriage."

"Go back to sleep when you're tired, don't lie down in Minxue Hall."

"Your hands are so cold, are they cold?"

"Father never plays with me, but there is no wind here, how can the kite fly?"

Chongwen gradually became dependent and caring for the new Taifu, but he knew in his heart that this man, who was as talented as Rong Shangshu, was his father's favorite man.

Fifteen is coming soon.

On this day, Rong Lan took Chongwen to the largest brothel in the capital, Rouge Pavilion.

Chongwen's face darkened: "Why did you bring me here?"

Mo Xuan was brought by Rong Lan with his little master every day, and went around all the places in the capital. Even the brothel was included in the experience plan made by the Taifu for the prince. Mo Xuan was deeply "worried" about this.

Qianbo followed behind obediently.

Rong Lan shook her head and pointed out to Chongwen the girl she thought was the most beautiful in Rouge Pavilion, solemnly lowered her voice and said: "Your father likes men, and as a minister, I naturally have to guide the prince to establish a correct sexual orientation since childhood. Everything in the world is Yin and Yang are born together, and marriage between a man and a woman is the right way."

Chongwen held the little fox in his arms, and everyone looked up at Rong Lan.

At this time, there was silence in the Rouge Pavilion, and everyone was watching the beautiful young man who walked in suddenly.

Chongwen lowered his voice in the appearance of Rong Lan, and replied in a childish voice: "But they are not as good-looking as you."

Rong Lan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You can't just look at the appearance in everything."

Chongwen became more serious after hearing the words: "Then they are not as good as you."

Rong Lan frowned, Chong Yi's upper beam was not straight and his lower beam was crooked, Chong Wen was simply cheated by his father!

He said to Mo Xuan: "You take the prince to play, I still have something to do."

"what's up?"

"what's up?"

Mo Xuan and Chongwen spoke in unison.

Rong Lan slipped the little fox from Chongwen's hand into her arms: "What else can I do when I come to the brothel? Of course I'm looking for..."

"You can't find a girl!"

The two spoke in unison again.

Qian Yuchen flew down from upstairs: "Lan is here to look for me, 'Rouge Pavilion' is the property of Qian Yuzhuang."

Rong Lan raised her eyebrows: "Why expose me, it's so boring."

Qian Yuchen was helpless: "If I don't show up again, they can eat you up with just their eyes."

A few people followed Qian Yuchen to the dark pavilion of Yanzhi Pavilion, Qian Yuchen bowed to the prince first, "Caomin has seen the prince!"

Then he said to Mo Xuan: "The city and the palace will not be peaceful today, it is the emperor's intention that Qianyuzhuang will protect the prince's safety."

Rong Lan vaguely guessed something, felt uneasy, and kept her expression on her face.

He hastily assigned homework to Chongwen, and Mo Xuan naturally couldn't leave the prince for half a step. He went to Qian Yuchen alone, and cut straight to the point: "Shadow is doing it today?"

Qian Yuchen nodded: "That's right, there is already a net in the palace."

Rong Lan hesitated: "If it was just to deal with the shadow, Chong Yi would not be so cautious, and even sent the prince here specially, without even informing the most trusted guards in advance, for fear of leaking the news. Do you have something to hide from me?"

Qian Yuchen lowered his eyes: "The emperor is to deal with your elder brother, Rong Xuan."

Rong Lan was surprised: "Why did the eldest brother get involved?!"

Qian Yuchen shook his head: "I don't know about it either, I only learned about it today."

Rong Lan turned around and left.

"where are you going?"

"Enter the palace!"

"My people will ensure that Rong Xuan will not fall into the trap, and you cannot enter the palace!"

Rong Lan turned around: "This is a matter of the Rong family, how can you and Qianyuzhuang be put in danger? If Zhongyi finds out that you are biased, it will be a disaster for Qianyuzhuang! Chen, is my imprint your hands and feet? "

Qian Yuchen nodded: "Yes."

Rong Lan sighed: "I know in my heart that you are doing it for my own good, so tell me how to make Jin Chan show up."

Qian Yuchen lowered his eyes: "Lan, you must enter the palace?"

Rong Lan smiled: "I have no better way."

Qian Yuchen raised his hand, slowly pushed aside Rong Lan's clothes, and touched his left chest with wine with his fingertips, "The hereditary imprint of the Miaonan royal family will only be revealed when it is stained with the blood of others. As the deceased Nan The eldest son of the king doesn't even know this. Lan, when you go, you have to face not only your former lover, but also your younger brother and mother."

Rong Lan put on her clothes, "I know this. Chen, you don't have to worry about me. Although I don't like power struggles, just because I don't fight doesn't mean I can't fight."

Qian Yuchen suddenly grabbed Rong Lan's sleeve, leaned over and hugged him, "Lan, I love you."

Rong Lan was startled, "Chen, what did you just say?"

Qian Yuchen smiled wryly: "I didn't say it before because I was afraid that I wouldn't even be friends with you. I said it now, because I want you to understand that even if you don't hand over Miao Nan, the emperor can't touch you at all."

Rong Lan was surprised: "How do you know what I have in mind?"

Qian Yuchen stared into Rong Lan's eyes: "Besides dedicating yourself to the emperor, you only have Miao Nan as a bargaining chip."

Rong Lan pushed Qian Yuchen away: "Chen, as I said before, this is a matter of the Rong family, you don't need to intervene, and you don't need to pretend to confess to me about it. I just pretended I didn't hear what you just said."

Qian Yuchen was completely rejected, but he didn't show any disappointment, with the same warm smile on his face, "I'll see you off, the imperial palace is difficult to enter right now, and you can't get in with the pass token given by the emperor. "

Rong Lan complained: "I asked you to teach me lightness kung fu a long time ago, but you definitely refused."

Qian Yuchen smiled: "Even if you learn it, you will surely be able to climb walls and trees. These five-year-old children can do it. You don't need to be ashamed."

Rong Lan shook her head disapprovingly, and said seriously, "Chen, thank you."

Qian Yuchen waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me! Lan, haven't you thought about another possibility? In the current situation, the emperor does have a favorable position and people, and the advantage is obvious, but what if Rong Xuan succeeds? Don't you? Are you not worried about the emperor's safety at all?"

Rong Lan shook her head calmly: "How many people in the world are worried about Zhongyi's safety, I'm not alone."

However, Rong Lan never expected that Zhong Yi would send all his troops to encircle and suppress the shadow of Hehuatai and the Miao army masters who were in charge of supporting him at the palace gate.

The Palace of Qinzheng was empty, the maids and servants were all gone, and even Zhang De, the chief servant who served the emperor personally, was nowhere to be seen.

When Rong Xuan broke in, Chong Yi was sitting in the hall, holding a jade seal to seal an imperial decree.

"Rong Xuan will avenge his father and the dead souls of the Rong family today!"

Chong Yi shook Yuxi's hand, Rong Xuan didn't mention Lan'er's name, he guessed right...

Rong Xuan threw off the scabbard: "I respect how courageous you are, dare to stay alone and challenge me one-on-one, I will let you do ten tricks!"

Chong Yi narrowed his eyes and flashed his sword, "No need! You just keep your promise!"

The cold light suddenly flashed in the hall, the master made a move, the sword was fierce, the utensils in the hall were damaged in a large area in an instant, and the imperial case was chopped into pieces.

The imperial decree on the case came to the fore.

Move number 11, Rong Xuan hooked his hand and turned around, pouring [-]% of his internal strength into the sword, "You are the one who does the work and the other is responsible, so naturally Rong Xuan will not kill your son!"

The blood splashed red on the high-hanging plaque of the Qinzheng Hall, and the four-character gold-plated characters of "Diligent Government and Love the People" shone even brighter under the baptism of blood.

The blood-stained edict fell on the ground.

Chong Yi almost closed his eyes with a smile.

Lan'er, with you as the crown prince's tutor, assisting the prince to ascend the throne, even if I die, the people of Dazhou will surely enjoy peace.

Still can't go hand in hand with life and death!

But what I owe you, I will pay it back with my life, but do you still hate me?

But still...blame me...
