Yangcheng

Lan Yurong was forked to the cold palace, Tong Shaozhuo became angry, and asked the guards how to give the Lan family a chance to assassinate the emperor.

"If something happens to His Majesty, how many heads do you have to cut off?!"

Tong Shaozhuo always has a smile on his face, he is gentle with everyone, and never puts on airs.But once angry, the majesty when running the army can make people's legs weak in an instant.

"Forget it, I let her in, I'm fine, don't worry, Concubine." Wei Xi said flatly, "Go down."

"Well..."

The servants and guards all went down, and Wei Xi brought over Princess Mingjian who was behind her, picked her up and stood on a chair, and carefully checked the injury on her neck.

Standing aside, Tong Shaozhuo also saw the black and blue handprints on the princess's delicate neck, which was as terrifying as being caught by a ghost, which was shocking.

Lan Yurong was so vicious that she even managed to kill her own daughter.

Lan Yurong understood that she was a pawn, but why didn't she use Princess Mingjian as a pawn?

"Does it hurt?" Wei Xi asked Princess Mingjian.

Ming saw that the princess' Ruifeng eyes, which were very similar to Wei Xi's, were full of ignorance and grievance, and the thick eyelashes were wet with tears.

She sniffled, clearly still scared, but shook her head at Wei Xi.

Wei Xi said to her: "If it hurts, you can tell mother directly."

Seeing that the princess got Wei Xi's words, she choked up a bit, pouted her pink mouth, and said to Wei Xi: "Mother, I hurt."

Wei Xi smiled at her gently: "Auntie will ask Imperial Doctor Xu from the Imperial Hospital to show you. Don't you like Imperial Doctor Xu the most?"

Ming saw the princess "ang" and finally smiled, she asked Wei Xi: "What's wrong with Lan Niang, where did she go?"

Tong Shaozhuo thought that Wei Xi would continue his gentle way of talking, but she didn't expect her to say bluntly: "You Lan Niang has done evil things, not only to harm you, but also to harm other people. Mother doesn't want her vicious heart to affect you , took her away. You won’t see her again in the future.”

Tong Shaozhuo gasped in a "hissy" breath, anxiously standing aside.

Wei Xi gave her a glance, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Seeing that the princess seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand, she asked Wei Xi: "Then, will Lan Niang die?"

Wei Xi shook his head and said, "She will not die, but she will be punished as she should."

Ming saw that the princess was using her very limited thinking ability to analyze this rather complicated matter, and finally gave Wei Xi a promise: "Aniang, I will definitely not be like Lan Niang in the future. I will not Disappointed Madam."

Tong Shaozhuo and Wei Xi didn't expect this little lady to say such a thing.

Wei Xi touched her head: "Mother believes in you."

Wei Xixuan came to Imperial Physician Xu to see Mingjian's injury, and asked Aunt Qi to take care of Mingjian, and to report in time if there was anything wrong.

Besides dealing with political affairs, Wei Xi spends a lot of time with Ming Jian.

This Tong Shaozhuo really can't confine her, let her lie on the bed all day long, don't let her move and can't touch the other, she can only eat, Tong Shaozhuo feels that she is worse than the pig raised by Anan, At least that little pig can walk around the yard besides eating.

If he continued to lie down, his body would be rusted, and Tong Shaozhuo would find reasons to run out every now and then.

Stopping Lan Yurong's assassination became an excuse for her restlessness, and the words "think about the safety of the emperor" can stop everyone's mouths.

Concubine Tong Gui said so, who would dare to stop her in the future, if the emperor is put in danger because of this, let alone one head, even the whole family's head is not enough to chop off.

Therefore, Tong Shaozhuo sat down for less than half a month this confinement, and started to walk around, holding her crying daughter to the yard to bask in the sun. I can't leave her.

Even with the emperor's heir, Tong Shaozhuo is still the number one celebrity in the harem, and all the concubines love her very much. Wherever she goes, she laughs constantly, which is comparable to Lan Yurong who led the harem back then and exerted high pressure. Time to be a hundred times more harmonious.

The little princess born to Tong Shaozhuo was given the single name "Zhi" by Wei Xi and the small character "A Yin".

"Wei Zhi, Ah Yin." Tong Shaozhuo thought about these two words, and the more he thought about them, the more he liked them, "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the name he gave is loud and meaningful."

Wei Xi deliberately asked her: "Oh? Changyun really has a connection with me, and you can see my deepest intentions."

"That's not."

"What is the deep meaning, tell me."

"Hmm..." Tong Shaozhuo was silent.

Seeing her pensive look, Wei Xi laughed out loud, flicked her head and said: "The honest one is also the one who chooses the good and is stubborn. I hope she can not only stick to her own heart, but also lead Wei Cang to a better future." Going in a good direction. There is no deep meaning, but I still have hopes for her."

Tong Shaozhuo could hear the meaning behind Wei Xi's words.

What Wei Xi hopes is that their Ah Yin can become a generation of sages connecting the past and the future.

Perhaps in Wei Xi's heart, this little child who loves to cry very much just after the full moon is already Da Cang's heir apparent.

……

There are two cold palaces in the harem.

A cold palace is where Lan Yurong is located, Qingsu Palace is full of women.The other one is the Anji Palace left over from the period of the first emperor, where all men were closed.

After Lan Yurong was imprisoned in Qingsu Palace, she witnessed how miserable these crazy women in the cold palace were, without dignity or human appearance.

She wanted to escape from this place countless times, but she was forked back by the guards again and again.

"You are so courageous, do you know who I am! I am Concubine Lan!"

"Let me out, I want to find Lanwan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials! She is my aunt! You ask her to pick me up!"

"Let me out! Aunt—!"

Lan Yurong wailed day and night in Qingsu Palace, tossing the rest of the palace so that they couldn't sleep well, and they united to suffocate her head and beat her up.

Lan Yurong was so beaten that she didn't dare to scream anymore, but at this time a guard came to her.

Originally, Lan Yurong thought that this was someone arranged by the Lan family to take her out of this ghostly place.

Even if the aunt doesn't care about her, her mother will definitely not let her suffer here!

The guard was indeed from the Lan family, but he didn't come to take Lan Yurong away.

The guard told her that everything was fine in the Lan family, and seeing that the little princess was being raised by a concubine, let her stay here with peace of mind, don't worry.

"What do you mean?" Lan Yurong didn't understand, "Do I want to stay in this ghost place for the rest of my life? Auntie won't save me? Auntie won't save me? My daughter has become someone else's daughter too?!"

The guard squinted his eyes and smiled, threw away a bowl of rotten rice and left without answering her.

Lan Yurong was restless.

Could it be that Auntie didn't save me anymore?

Am I really going to die alone in this place?

When Lan Yurong was a noble concubine, relying on the favor of the emperor, she ran rampant in the harem, and many people were beaten to death on the spot if they didn't like it.

Now in this Qingsu palace, there is her deadly enemy who was tortured by her back then.

Seeing that Lan Yurong was in trouble, how long would it be if he didn't take revenge now?

Lan Yurong was tortured every day, she couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat, she still wanted to go out from here, and every time the guard came to bring her something to eat, she begged bitterly, hoping that he could send a message to the Lan family , Said that she couldn't survive here, and she wanted to go home.

The guard was finally annoyed by his nagging, and sighed: "Don't you still not understand? After entering Qingsu Palace, the living cannot get out, only the dead can get out. You, Ye Niang, are afraid that you will be troubled, I have long claimed to have cut off the father-daughter relationship with you. You, stop wishful thinking, go to curry favor with your inmates, and maybe you can find some fun for the rest of your life."

The guards were not here to redeem her, but to give Lan Yurong the last knife.

After Lan Yurong heard his words, the last light in her heart was extinguished, and all thoughts were lost.

Seeing her lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, the guard sneered and wanted to leave.

Lan Yurong suddenly said: "This gentleman, can you do something for me? The last one."

After the guard came out from Qingsu Palace, he wrote a letter, which was passed out of the palace and to Lu Mansion outside the palace.

After hearing what the guard said, Lan Wan nodded lightly, and sighed a little: "It's hard for Yu Rong. But my brother means that he doesn't want her to leave the palace again, so why see my daughter again? I, as an aunt, can't help it. No need to wade into muddy waters."

The guard said "here" and left.

The guard left through the back door, and Lu Jian came back through the front door.

Lan Wan went up to meet her, and carefully noticed that Lu Jian's ears had turned red from the wind.

"Why don't you wear a hat?" Lan Wan covered her ears with her warm hands, "Look at freezing you. I just improved your body, so don't take it lightly. Look, your face is too cold." It's so cold. Isn't it Muxiu today, why don't you rest at home, I don't see you early in the morning."

Lu Jian said, "I went to look at Ah Xing's place."

"Oh? How is Ah Xing recently?" Lan Wan gently rubbed Lu Jian's ears, and quickly regained the sensation in her ears.

"I haven't seen her."

Lan Wan looked as usual, as if she had expected it a long time ago: "I probably spent the night at Shi Gongyu's place again. Come, have a bowl of ginseng soup. I have boiled this ginseng soup for a long time, and I am just waiting for you to come back Woolen cloth."

Lu Jian went to the front hall with her, and the maid brought the ginseng soup, and Lan Wan told Lu Jian about Lan Yurong.

Lu Jian said: "The Son of Heaven handled the matter of Lan Yurong very calmly. Now everyone in the court is praising the Son of Heaven for his benevolence, accusing Lan Yurong of being vicious, and calling her the same name as Concubine Chen who was involved in the witchcraft case and Queen Liang who was promiscuous in the palace. Now Lan Yurong's reputation has already been ruined and cannot be recovered."

Lan Wan said: "She, Aye, didn't even want her to come out of the cold palace, so there is nothing to redeem. I didn't quite agree with sending her to be a noble concubine back then. A more intelligent woman from the Lan family should be allowed to bear the burden. It is a heavy responsibility. But the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done later."

But Lu Jian said: "Smart people would not be willing to be placed in the harem. And at that time, Lan Kan was too eager to grasp Wei's heart, so he took this wrong step, and caused himself to be expelled from Boling by the emperor. It was his mistake."

After hearing what she said, Lan Wan took it for granted that she would always wake Lan Wan up at a certain critical point.

Lan Wan said: "Now Lan Yurong's useless chess is a foregone conclusion, and the harem has changed her surname to Tong. Fortunately, there is still Princess Mingjian left. In any case, Xiao Mingjian is bleeding our Lan family's blood, as long as she is still alive One day, the position of the crown prince will not be handed over to the Tong family so easily. It is still unknown who will win and lose in the East Palace battle."

After Lanwan personally tested the temperature of the ginseng soup so that it would not burn her mouth, she handed it to Lu Jian.

Lu Jian shook his head while holding the ginseng soup.

Lan Wan: "Huh?"

"Lan Yurong may not give us this chance." Lu Jian politely drank the ginseng soup little by little.

Lan Wan recalled this sentence, and after a little thought, she quickly understood what she was referring to.

Sure enough, within half a month, the news reached Lan Wan.

Lan Yurong didn't even wait for the guard's reply, so she already knew the result.

She finds another way.

A maid who once followed Lan Yurong and then went to serve in another palace was ordered to deliver food to Qingsu Palace. Lan Yurong called her to ask her to find Princess Mingjian and let Princess Mingjian come here. I really miss Mingjian Princess so much, I want to see my daughter once, just one time.

The maid felt sorry for her longing for her daughter, so she took the risk of helping her and asked someone to pass Lan Yurong's words to Princess Mingjian.

Ming saw that although the princess was a little afraid of Lan Yurong, after all, she was brought up by Lan Yurong, and she loved and cared for her most of the time, so she left suddenly, and she really missed her.

Seeing that the princess's temperament is not the same as Lan Yurong's, she is docile and nostalgic, Lan Yurong thought that as soon as her words came, she secretly inquired about the location of Qingsu Palace and went to find Lan Yurong secretly.

He didn't come back when he saw the princess that night.

Wei Xi got the news that when he saw that the princess was missing, he already felt bad, so he immediately went to Qingsu Palace.

On the way to Qingsu Palace, I bumped into a person who hurried out from Qingsu Palace to report the news.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, the Lan family and Princess Mingjian..."

Seeing that the princess values ​​love and righteousness at such a young age, she misses her mother, and wants to see her mother, but how clever, she managed to escape the guards of the people around her and go to find Lan Yurong alone.

It was precisely because of this soft heart that killed her.

Ming saw that the princess was carried away by Lan Yurong the moment she entered Qingsu Palace.

Lan Yurong hanged Princess Mingjian to the west of the palace, behind the dead tree facing the direction of Wei Xi's bedroom, and Lan Yurong also hanged herself next to it.

Since Lan Yurong is an abandoned child, she will take away everything that belongs to her, so as not to let the Lan family get any advantage.

Confused, Lan Yurong walked the last step of her life ruthlessly.

Seeing that the princess passed away unexpectedly, it was beyond everyone's expectation, and even the teacher and guard were heartbroken for a while.

Although Wei Xi didn't tell Tong Shaozhuo, but Tong Shaozhuo saw that she couldn't eat anything for three meals a day, and she always tossed and turned when she slept at night, so he understood her thoughts.

Mingjian princess's funeral was organized by Tong Shaozhuo, and she was buried in the royal cemetery, not far from Princess Chaomu.Two little princesses who are equally miserable can still be companions.

"In this way, the harem will lose its bargaining chip." Lan Wan was a little worried, "The battle situation in the southwest is also chaotic enough. The news only comes out once every few months. I don't know what's going on now."

With the candlelight flickering in the quiet bedroom, Lu Jian pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Since a year and a half ago, the situation in the Southwest has undergone subtle changes. It seems that a force we are not familiar with has penetrated into the Southwest. If this is not the case, I am afraid Southwest has long been captured by Lan Zhongyu."

Lan Wan: "Who could it be?"

Lu Jian's eyes shifted to the upper left corner of the short case, which was a stack of documents from Yushitai.

When Shen Changkong entered Yushitai, he became more daring and united with several officials from Yushitai who were at the same time as him to impeach Wei Chengxian.

Seeing that the Shen family was dying, they did not expect to produce such a strange person.

This man, Tong Shaoxuan, Shi Ruzhuo and others are candidates of the same class. In the early days of his official career, under Tong Shaoxuan's too dazzling light, he was not eye-catching.Unexpectedly, after many years, this person climbed up step by step and became the absolute leader of the Shen family.

Shen Changkong was erudite and high-minded, well-known in the government and the public, he was able to confront the doctors of the Imperial Academy at a young age, and even refuted them into silence.

As far as Lu Jian knew, Shen Changkong was gradually recovering the Qingtan that was popular in the previous dynasty, and planned to revive the Qingtan in order to expand his prestige.

"Should this Shen Changkong be removed as soon as possible?" Lan Wan asked.

"No need." Lu Jian said, "Shen Changkong is still useful for the time being."

Lan Wan frowned slightly.

"When that person returns to Boling, Shen Changkong will be useful." Lu Jian said.

Two years passed by in a hurry again, and it was another year of flowering.

The waterways on both sides of the strait are covered with bright and pretty wandering flowers. Standing on the water bank, you can smell the fragrance of flowers from a long distance.

Shi Ruzhuo stood on the bank of the water, watching the boats coming and going in the waterway, and his colleagues who were waiting to be relieved.

A luxurious painting boat swung by under her nose, and a group of women on the painting boat were playing musical instruments, and the sound of silk and bamboo was extremely elegant.

A person who was holding a pen was concentrating on drawing. From time to time, people around her came to want to get acquainted with her, but she didn't respond. She was still concentrating on the drawing board, and the visitors could only leave angrily.

As if sensing something, Bai Zhaochu paused the paintbrush in his hand, raised his head, and just saw Shi Ruzhuo on the shore.

"Gongyu!" Bai Zhaochu couldn't help shouting.

The pair haven't seen each other for nearly a year since their last split.

It's rare to see each other again, but one is on the water and the other is on the shore.

Shi Ruzhuo clearly saw Bai Zhaochu, and also heard her calling him, but still ignored her, looked at the sky, turned and left with a cold face.

Bai Zhaochu wanted to go ashore, and urged the owner of the painting boat to bring the boat to the shore.

The master couldn't afford to offend her, so he had to do so.

Bai Zhaochu hurried up and looked around, but Shi Ruzhuo was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Zhaochu felt lost, he didn't want to wander around with those aristocratic girls anymore, so he left directly holding his drawing board.

Back at the house that was just purchased at the end of last year, Bai Zhaochu's servant said that the Lianjinjiegupao that she had ordered earlier had arrived, so she took the Lianjinjiegupao and hurried to Tong's Mansion.

Bai Zhaochu visited Tong Shaoqian three days ago, but Tong Shaoqian's hands still had no strength, and she still couldn't hold a spatula. Tong Shaoqian joked that her hands were shaking even holding a teacup, and she couldn't cook. She was no different from a useless person.

Bai Zhaochu knew that she was in a bad mood, so he comforted her patiently, took care of her, and spent a lot of money all over the world to find a prescription for her, just to help her get well.

Out of guilt or something else, Bai Zhaochu didn't want to think about it anymore, she only hoped that sister Tong would get well soon.

as well as……

Can Chang Si and Sister Tang have news.

……

With the constant flow of carriages and horses, merchants blocking the roads, Da Cang Jingshi became more prosperous.

However, the people of Boling who lived in Haiyan Heqing did not expect that a huge wave would soon sweep across the entire capital.

And all of this has to start from the small Chu County in the southwest.
