Yangcheng

Aunt Xuan confessed in no time, and while Concubine Tong Gui was giving birth, the person who ordered her to poison her was Lan Yurong.

When he thought of the precious thing he had just obtained, someone was thinking of destroying it, or committing crimes under her nose, Wei Xi's brain was like a spoonful of hot oil, crackling and furious. If it is burned, Lan Yurong will be beheaded directly.

Kill Lan Yurong's family and those related to the poisoning case in the vegetable market.

Tong Shaozhuo stopped the edict before it was issued.

"Your Majesty, Lan Yurong must not be killed."

Tong Shaozhuo changed into the light outfit she was used to in daily life, and her thick long pendant and shawl wrapped her tightly.

Many of the little faces brought back during pregnancy are two layers whiter than when they first entered the palace, probably because they came too hastily, the fair face is pink, and the tips of the ears are also red.

"Why are you here?" Wei Xi told Ruan Yinghua and Shi Ruzhuo to go down first.

When Shi Ruzhuo left, Tong Shaozhuo's eyes followed her for a while before turning back.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, Wei Xi stepped forward to support Tong Shaozhuo and let her sit on the chair.

"How can I be so delicate." Although Tong Shaozhuo said so, looking at Wei Xi's eyes sparkled, and there was a sweet smile at the corner of his mouth.

"The confinement child doesn't sit well. After running such a long distance, aren't you afraid of being blown by the wind?"

Wei Xi's voice has softened a lot, changed from the calm and solemn appearance in front of the courtiers, and his tone was soft when facing Tong Shaozhuo, as if a little seriousness would shatter this battle-tested captain of.

Tong Shaozhuo laughed: "Can I still be blown apart by a gust of wind?"

She remembered what she was doing here tonight, she held Wei Xi's hand and said to her very seriously: "Your Majesty, Lan Yurong can't be killed, and her family can't sit together."

Wei Xi sat next to her and didn't speak directly, but he was very close to Tong Shaozhuo.

This is what it means for Tong Shaozhuo to lean on her shoulder when he is tired.

In the past two years of getting along, Tong Shaozhuo understands that Wei Xi is a person who does not easily reveal his soft side.

When she wants to express her love, she will become very quiet, and she will not give it directly. All the tenderness and small thoughts are placed at the closest distance to the beloved, waiting for the other person to pick them up.

This may have something to do with the fact that she has cultivated the habit of being indomitable no matter what she faces during her many years on the throne.

It may also have something to do with the fact that she once lost painfully, and now she is unconsciously more cautious when investing.

When Tong Shaozhuo came in the chariot, he was in a hurry and didn't feel much. Now that he took a rest, he was really tired.

She leaned on Wei Xi's shoulder, able to get close to her without tiring her, and told her bluntly:

"I know that His Majesty and the Lan family are inseparable, and have been secretly wrestling for opportunities for so many years. This time, Lan Yurong's poisoning is indeed a very good breakthrough. However, if Lan Yurong's family is killed, it will definitely anger the Lan family. I would like to know, if the Lan family raises troops at this time, what are the chances of His Majesty winning? Just relying on the news of the Lan family's supplies and the identity of the meticulous staff, may be able to gain a temporary advantage, but may not be able to win the real victory. What's more, Lan Kan is entrenched in Fengzhou , Lan Zhongyu holds the southwest in his hand, and Boling is also controlled by Lan Wan. Now Lan Wan has transformed into a god of the Mo Sect, which is the religion with the largest number of people in Da Cang, and even there are different factions in the Sect. However, it is a fact that people have to take into account that the Mojiao has responded to her all the time. Once the war starts, the three parties will cooperate with each other, and the civil war will break out. At that time, not only the three families of Lan, Wu and Shen, but also how many feudal towns and Hu tribes will be secretly eyeing her. The minister knows that His Majesty has been carefully deploying everything these years, but even if he can win the Lan family, it will be a tragic victory, not to mention the Lan family has so many elite soldiers and strong generals, if they fail, the entire Wei Cang country will be overthrown."

As expected of a general with outstanding military exploits, Tong Shaozhuo has a very broad vision on the battle situation, and every sentence he says can speak to Wei Xi's heart.

Tong Shaozhuo sat up straight, facing Wei Xi and said: "And Lan Yurong is also a noble concubine, and Conglong Yougong gave birth to Princess Mingjian, even if Aunt Xuan identified her, there will definitely be forces from the Lan family to protect Lan Yurong If His Majesty really insists on going his own way and kills her out of a moment of anger, what will he do when he sees the princess? The admonisher will definitely feel that His Majesty does not care about his flesh and blood, and the reputation of the emperor will plummet by then. Why give it a chance to prove it On the other hand, if His Majesty lets Lan Yurong go, it means that His Majesty is nostalgic for old feelings and is a benevolent and righteous monarch. The matter of Lan Yurong's poisoning will be magnified under His Majesty's generosity, and the Lan family will be criticized at that time In this way, the Lan family will have no excuse to take the opportunity to attack, but will become the target of public criticism and the target of everyone's crusade.

"What Your Majesty wants is for the soldiers to be spared and the people not to suffer from the war. The best time may come soon, but it is not the best time yet. Your Majesty has endured for so many years and planned for so many years. Don't fall short at this time .”

Tong Shaozhuo presented the pros and cons of all parties in front of Wei Xi, which made Wei Xi calm down a lot.

In the end, Lan Yurong's head was still safely on her neck.

She didn't die, and the Lan family was not implicated because of her, but it was impossible for her to continue to be her concubine Lan.

Wei Xi sent Lan Yurong to the cold palace. In this life, he was not allowed to leave the cold palace, and he was not allowed to meet Princess Mingjian.

A decree was delivered to Lan Yurong, and the servant said coldly to her, "Let's go."

Lan Yurong couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty is so ignorant of the years of love? Impossible, it must be the idea of ​​the witch, it must be the surname Tong who is bewitching the public, how could your majesty treat me like this!"

Seeing that the princess was terrified, Ming Ming came up to comfort her: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry."

Lan Yurong picked up Princess Mingjian, knocked away the servants and attendants, and ran towards Wei Xi's bedroom.

"Stop her!" The servant yelled.

This place is very close to Wei Xi's bedroom, Lan Yurong rushed like crazy, and was stopped when she rushed to the door of the bedroom.

Several sharp spears rested on Lan Yurong's neck, fixing her in place.

Lan Yurong yelled: "Okay! Come on! Just kill Bengong right here, and Bengong will take the princess to hell together! I want to see, which of you dog slaves will do it first!"

"Let her in." Wei Xi's voice came from the bedroom.

The servant who hurried over was panting, and the attendants hesitated and did not put down their weapons.

The servant hesitated for a while and said, "Didn't you hear what the emperor said?"

Only then did the attendants let Lan Yurong go.

The neck became looser, Lan Yurong's face was covered with sweat, and her eyes could no longer blink. She yelled "Don't cry" to the crying Princess Mingjian, and then picked her up and hugged her in front of her. In a position where Wei Xi could see at a glance, he thought for a moment, then strode into the bedroom.

Wei Xi sat on the bench, holding the memorial in his hand, and the gilt incense burner beside him was slowly raising a wisp of smoke, and the elegant fragrance lingered in the bedroom.

This scene is so familiar, Lan Yurong used to be the master of this bedroom, she can come and go freely, she knows every detail here like the back of her hand.

Come back today, nothing here has changed, all the displays are still the same, even the uniform that Wei Xi is wearing has been worn before.

But Lan Yurong felt that this place was so unfamiliar that it made her hair stand on end.

That's right, Lan Yurong found out that the taste of the incense had changed, and Wei Xi changed to a fragrance that had no sweet taste at all, but a strong green wood flavor.

The cold and piercing fragrance soon occupied every corner of the huge bedroom, turning this place into a place completely unfamiliar to Lan Yurong.

"Chengcan..." Lan Yurong walked forward slowly with Princess Mingjian in her arms, and she took only two steps, and she was already crying, "Chengcan, do you know? Someone issued an imperial edict for you to send me away. Go to the cold palace. How is it possible, who is so daring to separate your little princess from her mother!"

"It's me." The word Wei Xi destroyed Lan Yurong's last fantasy.

Wei Xi put down the memorial in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked directly at Lan Yurong: "It's the edict issued by me personally."

"You..." Hearing this, Lan Yurong's entire facial features were twisted together, and after a while, they relaxed again, tears and snot slowly flowing down, she didn't seem to feel it at all, "Chengcan, take it seriously, a little bit Don't you miss the old love? Could it be that the friendship of so many years is easy to let go of for you? Chengcan..."

Lan Yurong's words were interrupted by Wei Xi's sneer.

"You are not a ten thousandth as cunning as your aunt."

Mentioning her aunt, Lan Yurong's heart skipped a beat.

Although she has never forgotten it, Lan Yurong has always ignored the matter of how the Lan family persecuted the once lonely emperor Wei Xi during the days when she was favored by Wei Xi.

But now when Wei Xi mentioned Lan Wan, Lan Yurong suddenly understood that she was the pawn of the Lan family, and it was the pawn that the Lan family threw at Wei Xi's side to control her.

And Wei Xi has been changing his attitude towards Lan Yurong in order to confuse the Lan family and influence the alliance of the Lan family.

Whether it's his own family or Wei Xi, once they have no value to use, they will abandon Lan Yurong like a shoe.

Lan Yurong wept silently, at this moment she knew that she had nowhere to go.

Everything in the past was a stupid fantasy that she couldn't see clearly.

"Your Majesty..." Lan Yurong didn't want to give up even though there was no way forward. She hugged Princess Mingjian tightly, her last strength, "Does Your Majesty want our little princess to have no mother at such a young age? Without a mother How lonely it must be... How can the people in this harem bully her."

Wei Xi: "How could she not have a mother. I am her mother. See you, come here."

Seeing that the princess wanted to break free from Lan Yurong and throw herself into the arms of the emperor's mother, Lan Yurong forcibly controlled her.

"It's different, of course it's different. Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, so how can you take care of you?" Lan Yurong looked at Princess Mingjian and asked her, "Didn't you say that you would always follow Auntie and me? You wouldn't even coax me at night without me." Dare to sleep by yourself, don't you? Ah? Don't you?"

Seeing that the princess is less than five years old, she doesn't know what happened right now, but she only knows that Lan Niang scares her.

"Mother..." Seeing that the princess dared not look at Lan Yurong anymore, she kept calling to Wei Xi.

Lan Yurong sneered, suddenly grabbed Princess Mingjian's neck, and her voice changed: "If Lan Niang is gone, you are so timid that you dare not even sleep by yourself, you will definitely be bullied, what else is there? Good life?"

Lan Yurong suddenly raised her voice: "Why don't you strangle me to death now, and go to hell with Lan Niang!"

Lan Yurong grabbed Princess Mingjian's neck and exerted force with her hands, Princess Mingjian was so frightened that she burst into tears.

And Wei Xi still sat there, motionless, watching her perform.

Lan Yurong pinched half of it and went to see Wei Xi.

Wei Xi was also looking at her, with an expression of seeing a joke, as if he had seen through her early in the morning.

Lan Yurong did exert force, but she didn't really want to strangle Princess Mingjian to death.

Seeing that the princess was crying loudly, Lan Yurong's ears were buzzing, and her heart felt cold.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will really strangle your own daughter to death?" Lan Yurong asked Wei Xi sharply.

"I've already said that compared with your aunt Lan Wan, your little thoughts are still far behind."

Wei Xi didn't take it seriously at all, he had seen through Lan Yurong long ago, and knew that what she was doing now was just a farce to make Wei Xi soften his heart.

Facing such a vicious woman like Lan Yurong, how can Wei Xi soften his heart?

Lan Yurong let go and saw the princess, the little lady fell on the ground and coughed continuously, her little face was swollen and red, tears were coughed up, she was pitiful.

"I understand. No matter what I say, His Majesty will never take it to heart. Now I have no value to continue to use, and Your Majesty will abandon me."

Lan Yurong sniffed with a miserable smile, hugged Princess Mingjian again, and wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve.

Mingjian Princess was obviously afraid of her.

When Lan Yurong was wiping her tears, she kept hiding back.

"Don't be afraid of Mommy, don't hide from Mommy, Mommy will wipe your tears for you one last time, and comb your hair for you. From now on, you will never see your mother again."

While tidying Princess Mingjian's hair, Lan Yurong led her slowly approaching Wei Xi, and said to Wei Xi:

"If the two of us were girls from an ordinary family and had no feud, would you treat me sincerely?"

Wei Xi ignored her.

Lan Yurong chuckled: "Okay, I already know the answer, so I don't need to humiliate myself. May I ask which woman in the world is not jealous? It's a pity, God has no words, and I didn't let me successfully kill that treacherous concubine! Your Majesty, I only have one last request. I hope that I can spend the last moment with Your Majesty and the princess before I enter the cold palace. This moment is enough to comfort the rest of my life. Your Majesty, can you hug me and the little princess?"

Lan Yurong walked up to Wei Xi with Princess Mingjian, staring at Wei Xi with blood red eyes, begging for the last bit of warmth.

Before Wei Xi could react, Lan Yurong's expression suddenly became ferocious.She pulled out Princess Mingjian's hairpin, yelled and pierced it into Wei Xi's neck.

This step by step approaching, the sweet words in her mouth are actually just an excuse for her to take the opportunity to assassinate, Wei Xi has long been prepared.

Although Wei Xi is not a master of outsiders, she learned some self-defense methods when she was a little princess, which is more than enough to deal with a role like Lan Yurong.

Just when she was about to raise her hand to remove Lan Yurong's arm, a strong wind came suddenly, and Lan Yurong's hand holding the hairpin suddenly lost its strength.

With Lan Yurong's scream, the hairpin fell to the ground, and Wei Xi kicked the hairpin away, taking advantage of the opportunity to pull Princess Mingjian behind him.

The last fight failed, Lan Yurong lost her mind in such a panic, she yelled and rushed towards Wei Xi.

The door of the room opened wide with a "bang", and Tong Shaozhuo, who had interrupted Lan Yurong's assassination with a stone, flew in front of the guards. Kicked her out and fell more than ten steps, and fell to the ground, unable to stand up for a while.

Wei Xi hugged the crying Princess Mingjian, and said to the guards: "Prison the Lan family in Qingsu Palace, and never leave the palace!"

"Here!"
