Cang Ri Qing Lan

Just as Lei Jiao thought, Zetamar's whereabouts were even more subtle, not to mention the three caves of the cunning rabbit.They searched several places for this person in the capital, but found nothing.

Everyone suspected that this so-called ghost clan was no longer in the city, so Lei Jiao could only disperse and ambush everywhere. After waiting for three days, it was easy.

During the three days, Fang Honggeng submitted a report one by one every day, most of which said that the Shen family members would not let go of their mouths, and that the search and arrest had made no progress.

However, Shen Haozhe kept complaining about his illness and did not go to court, many of the ministers received the rumors, and it spread widely in private.

And Cang Lan didn't seem to care about all of this. After briefly handling a few government affairs, she just read the detailed reports from various places sent by Chen Hai.

Xing Ye likes to watch Cang Lan meditate very much, the longer the time like this, the better, but it is not difficult for him to see that the other party is a little absent-minded - as if waiting for something to happen, as for what, Xing Ye has no way of knowing, All he knew was that Cang Lan didn't seem to be looking forward to its arrival.

The files on the desk were sorted out and handed to Cang Lan one by one, when he suddenly found a letter that could make the other party look good, Xing Ye immediately pulled it out,

"My lord, this is General Yi Yan's battle report."

Cang Lan took the note, and it was indeed a letter from Yi Yan to report victory, which is the best news recently.Staring at the somewhat distorted handwriting, Cang Lan only felt something soft lingering between the words, and she didn't feel distracted.After a long time, he raised his eyes and saw Xing Ye's faintly expectant eyes. He was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed the brows, and smiled.

"You guessed it right, it's good news."

The goal was achieved, but it seemed that what was in his mind had been seen through, and Xing Ye was unable to say a word after taking a drug of dumbness.

This silent nervous reaction was strange in Cang Lan's eyes.

Did I say something wrong again?Cang Lan was confused, only heard the little eunuch whispering outside the hall,

"Your Majesty, General He Jing is asking to see you."

The thoughts that had just been let go jumped out of her mind, and Cang Lan lost interest in studying Xing Ye's expression carefully in an instant, and said with a slightly grave face,

"See."

He Jing was wearing a military uniform, and his steps were fast and anxious, but he left behind the leading eunuch.

"Your Majesty! General..."

Sweating profusely across the hall, he opened his mouth, saw Cang Lan's face and thought of something, stopped tremblingly, knelt down on the ground, still anxiously said,

"The emperor please save the general!"

Shen Haozhe, who originally said he was sick, was not in the General's Mansion.

In the capital, there is a dilapidated small courtyard near the "Da Langfang". This kind of courtyard is not very eye-catching in the alley. If there is any difference, it is more hidden here.

No one would have thought that Shen Haozhe, who has been watched by everyone these days, would kneel in the wing room of this courtyard,

"I have already asked Mr. Fang to capture the accomplice who murdered His Majesty this time, and this place will be exposed soon. I hope that my father will plead guilty to His Majesty before then." His voice was calm and clear, and he did not appear to be ill at all.

"What did you say...you really..."

After Shen Haozhe finished speaking for a while, the old man Qingxi who was sitting across from him woke up like a dream, stood up with a loud shout,

"You rebellious son! How dare you lie to me?"

This old man is the old man of the Shen family who returned to Beijing secretly. A few days ago, Shen Haozhe changed his mind and said that he would vote for Haoxuan Guang'an.At this moment, he was so angry that his white beard trembled wildly, and he didn't know where to start the attack.

"Haoxuan Canglan angered you, are you also lying to me?! My Shen family teaches loyalty to the emperor and serve the country! How dare you go to help this villain who usurped the throne and plotted rebellion!"

Still in a deep and calm voice, Shen Haozhe did not back down from his words, and said decisively,

"The real traitor is Haoxuan Guang'an, and His Majesty ascended the throne following the edict of the first emperor."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The emperor is the only son of the late emperor. In any case, the emperor must belong to the emperor. What reason does the emperor have to usurp the throne?! Why did the late emperor pass the throne to the notorious Haoxuan Canglan?! The late emperor passed away, how could it appear? In Lingzhou?!"

Mr. Shen couldn't listen anymore, he slapped the table and kept asking, obviously he didn't believe the edict at all.

Knowing the father is Mo Ruozi, Shen Haozhe doesn't understand the old man's stubbornness, but unfortunately the two father and son are really similar in one aspect, only Shen Haozhe said,

"There are many contradictory rumors from the outside world. It is not surprising that your majesty is all-round in civil and military affairs. The biography of the first emperor is in your majesty."

"You rebellious son! You...you...you are making unreasonable words!"

Old Man Shen was even more furious, and he couldn't even speak coherently. Seeing him like this, Shen Haozhe bitterly said,

"Father also ignores Haoxuan Guang'an forcing the palace, so why is he so paranoid about Du and His Majesty?"

"...How dare you criticize me? You help the evildoers, and you dare to turn black and white. Do you still have me as a father in your eyes!?"

"...the son knows he is not filial,"

Seeing the old man's Zhan Zhanwei, Shen Haozhe's eyes were finally stunned, but his tone was firm and decisive,

"Your Majesty is the king of your son, and your son cannot allow his father to slander His Majesty face to face."

"You rebellious thing, how dare you tell me...!"

Knowing that this son would not be able to turn his head back, Old Man Shen slapped him firmly with his palm, then raised his hand, stopped suddenly, and pulled Shen Haozhe's collar, his face turned blue instantly, and he took two steps back before hissing,

"You... on you... what's going on with those?!"

Shen Haozhe's resolute outline has not changed in the slightest, but he can no longer hide his gray and defeated look.

Seeing this, Mr. Shen was even more certain of what he was thinking, and his voice changed.

"I've heard rumors about you and Haoxuan Canglan from the north, but I still don't want to believe it...it's true?! You actually...my Shen family has been a general for generations, and the lintel of the Guangyao family has such a villain as you! !"

I had high expectations for this outstanding son, but I never expected that Shen Haozhe would do such a thing that would only be scolded by thousands of people. Mr. Shen was extremely disappointed, and under mixed anger and hatred, he grabbed the wooden handle behind the door. The door bolt slammed down on Shen Haozhe,

"How did I teach you when I was young, to be a general with the world in mind, you should be a sword and a horse, and you will be bloody on the battlefield! Even if you die on the battlefield, you will die in a horse leather shroud! How majestic! How to please your emperor?!"

The pride of a military commander can be said to be the persistence of Mr. Shen all his life, but he is old after all, and he is exhausted and out of breath before he can make a cup of tea.

Shen Haozhe could understand the old man's heartache, but from beginning to end, he never hid, nor defended, nor could he.

If a few days ago, he could still say that these were just rumors, and the traces left by the previous few days were still there, what else could he say?He just concealed the pain, and bowed down,

"Time is running out, my son has no time to wait for his father to appease his anger, please follow me to His Majesty as soon as possible..."

"You...! The ancestors of my Shen family have been humiliated by you, and you want me to follow you to embarrass this?!"

Old Man Shen looked left and right with his eyes wide open, and pulled out the long knife from Shen Haozhe's waist with a 'swipe',

"I'll kill you bastard first!"

Several family members who were dismissed had heard the movement here, and saw that the situation was not right from a distance, and it would be too late to come here if they thought about it——

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing a loud shout, old master Shen's hand holding the knife slowed down, and just cut a bloody gash on Shen Haozhe's shoulder.He followed the sound, and was stunned, not because of He Jing's sudden voice, but because of a man who entered the yard at some point and stood silently outside the porch, with silver hair and eyes of the same color, shining brightly Breathtaking.

"His Majesty!"

Shen Haozhe blurted out his astonishment, and Old Master Shen was startled again when he heard the words,

"You are..." He couldn't connect Cang Lan with Prince Yi in his impression at all.

"When did His Majesty come..."

"A lot of time,"

The members of the Shen family forgot to stop them, and just stood there blankly watching Cang Lan lead the people in slowly.

"I originally wanted to see how far your family was going to make trouble before it ended."

Cang Lan looked at Shen Haozhe for a while, then suddenly turned around and said to Mr. Shen,

"Mr. Shen seems to know me very well. It just so happens that his relationship with Zhen is almost the same as yours. So even if you are his father, it's best not to go too far."

"……His Majesty……!"

Shen Haozhe still couldn't figure out the myriad of thoughts in his heart, Mr. Shen had already reacted, and pointed at Cang Lan, almost unable to bring it up in one breath.

"You... you actually...! You actually announced this kind of scandal...!"

"Master Shen seems to have forgotten that even if you don't recognize me as the emperor of the country, this place is still under my control. Whether he is willing or not, or whether you are willing or not, is up to you!"

Cang Lan smiled, full of coldness with the power of life and death in her hands,

"He Jing! Arrest the people here!"

"His Majesty……"

Several members of the Shen family were forcibly dragged out by the people from Qianfeng Battalion, Shen Haozhe turned to Cang Lan, and restrained himself after speaking halfway.Cang Lan paused for a moment, and when she couldn't wait for the other party to intercede, she finally opened her mouth and said,

"How do you want me to punish your father?"

"Your Majesty...but listen to His Majesty!"

Looking at the insincere Shen Haozhe, Cang Lan sighed in her heart and said,

"Even He Jing knows that he won't listen to you and bow his head to me, why don't you just let him go and run away to humiliate himself."

"I firmly believe that His Majesty will unify the world. Even if I let my father go back to Haoxuan Guang'an, when the city is destroyed in the future, he will definitely..."

The expected answer, Cang Lan said lightly,

"Your father's crimes cannot be settled by Shen Haojin's 'being instigated', and you still want to save him..." The next words were not finished, Shen Haozhe went all out for his father, what can he say.

Hearing that there was still unfinished meaning in the words, Shen Haozhe couldn't help raising his head, and after a while, Fang said,

"Your Majesty, my father is a military general of the two dynasties. If he surrenders, it will definitely help His Majesty."

"He looks like he's going to surrender? Did I miss it, or are you a son who doesn't understand your father's stubbornness enough?"

Facing Cang Lan's sullen anger, Shen Haozhe hesitated to speak,

"I understand..."

"Do you understand? Then do you know that those censors may not only let him go, but also take you along with them..."

Speaking of this, Cang Lan suddenly felt that she had unknowingly exceeded the limit, Cang Lan paused for a moment, and then said again,

"...This is your choice, you can do it yourself."

"The minister is not just for my father..."

I didn't want to tell the reason at first, but when I saw Cang Lan didn't want to say any more, I wanted to keep something from my heart, forcing Shen Haozhe to speak,

"My father is different from Haojin, he has quite a lot of contacts in the court, I can't let him go back."

"..."

Cang Lan was stunned. From Shen Haozhe's actions, it is not difficult to see the status of his family in his heart, so he never expected that the other party would have such a decisive determination.

After such insults, this person still puts his throne first, and he is really worried about it.Even if stupid loyalty to the emperor is regarded as a virtue in this era, it will not be higher than the most basic self-esteem of a general.

What made the other party do this?

His eyes lingered on Shen Haozhe for a long time, and Cang Lan's remorse came to his mind again due to the bloodstains on the other side.

He seldom regrets what he has done, the only time he hugged this person in that situation... He couldn't convince himself to let go in the blink of an eye like before,

"I'll talk about this later, let people see your injuries first..."

"It doesn't matter, my minister!"

When an obviously gentler voice was heard, Shen Haozhe's face changed, and he raised his head suddenly, but this movement was already a flash.

Cang Lan saw it in her eyes, her eyebrows twitched, and she said,

"Leave if you have nothing to do. If someone sees you here, it will be me, and it will be difficult to convince those people."

Staring at Cang Lan in astonishment, taking the other side's face into his eyes, Shen Haozhe opened his mouth, lowered his head again, and stood up without saying a word.

He already remembered what He Jing said about Cang Lan's efforts to protect him, could it be that he made things difficult for him again?

As a courtier, he should share the worries of the king, and Cang Lan should immediately dissuade him from confronting the courtiers in order to protect himself, but he couldn't say it.

At that moment just now, his worry was even more relieved, and he seemed to have saved the person who had resolutely left a little, and he didn't want to take away the other party's kindness.Even if he felt palpitations because of Cang Lan's favoritism, he had clearly told him that doing this was only for his own selfishness...

There was nothing strange on his face, Shen Haozhe bowed and retreated, but his heart was in a mess, he tripped over the long knife thrown on the ground, staggered and almost fell down.

Cang Lan stretched out her hand to help him, but felt his body was hot, and couldn't help frowning,

"Why is it so hot...you..."

As the words fell, Shen Haozhe's face turned blue and white in an instant, and at the same time he saw the marks on the man's neck, Cang Lan already understood a little bit,

"That day...were you injured..."

When the four eyes met, Shen Haozhe immediately looked away unnaturally, moved his lips, but didn't say a word.

Cang Lan sighed secretly, before saying anything, Xing Ye flashed in by the door without raising his head,

"My lord, there is a large group of people approaching!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person ran to the door alone, but it was cold day.Although he had heard a lot about Cang Lan's rumors, he obviously didn't think that when he actually saw it with his own eyes, when he saw the two people who were very close to each other, he still forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang Honggeng is here..."
