Half-dead paulownia

(Anling Capital, Sun Moon Pavilion)

As the sun sets, the afterglow falls, and the golden light reflected in the room shines, and everything is covered with a layer of splendor.

An Ruo stayed by Anling Mingcheng's bed, his dim eyes were unwilling to leave the man who was still unconscious for a moment, just waiting for him to wake up.

And Liu Meng and Guiyue were arranged by her to search for Anling Yuhao. She was sure that her son must have fallen at the bottom of the cliff, but she couldn't mobilize a large number of guards to look for it. Let the two of them go to investigate.

"Empress, there is something I don't know..." Eunuch Zhang, who had been waiting outside the door, finally walked into the room after repeated thoughts.

"Eunuch Zhang just speak up." An Ruo saw the embarrassment on Eunuch Zhang's face.

"I don't know if the emperor has mentioned someone to you in the past few days?" Although Eunuch Zhang still hesitated, he also felt that he had to say something.

An Ruo couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked at Eunuch Zhang suspiciously, "I don't know what you mean?"

"The scholar-bureaucrat who was once highly valued by the imperial court and was extremely popular, is now the king of Zhenxiang, Luo Shengchuan, who has been keeping himself safe and guarding the fortress of Anling Kingdom with due diligence." Eunuch Zhang's seemingly flat tone, but his eyes are meaningful.

"Luo Shengchuan?" An Ruo searched for this unfamiliar name in his mind, "Did he ever have a student named Ye Lan?"

"I didn't expect the empress to remember this?" Eunuch Zhang was a little surprised.

An Ruo gently wiped Anling Mingcheng's forehead again, and said with a little reminiscence: "I remember Hao'er had a very good relationship with him back then, so I remembered that well-behaved and sensible child, but I don't know what happened later. What happened, that the child was said to be a traitor, and it is inconvenient for me to ask about other people's affairs, and that Luo Shengchuan was also transferred away from the imperial city, so we naturally became estranged, and even now the memory is a little fuzzy." Thinking of this, An Ruo couldn't help but have a curious tone: "Why did you suddenly mention him?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Since Luo Shengchuan was transferred to the border, although he has made many military exploits, he is constantly expanding his team. Now the soldiers and horses in his hands are enough to threaten our safety." Eunuch Zhang He sighed: "Recently, he has always reported to the imperial court, saying that he needs reinforcements because of his lack of troops. If the emperor does not allocate troops to him, he is afraid that the fortress of the capital of Anling will be destroyed."

"If he can't keep it, then replace him with someone who can keep it." An Ruo also understood Luo Shengchuan's intention.

"This is the key. Now I'm afraid that if he is angered, he will rise up instead. Once there is civil strife in our Anling Kingdom, others will take advantage of it. However, if he has been pampering him like this, he is probably raising a tiger. So now It’s a dilemma.” Eunuch Zhang continued with some worries: “Now the little prince has not taken the position, and the ministers in the court dare not stand in the wrong team and can only wait and see quietly, so the key now is to let the prince establish his prestige. .”

"That's why I let the emperor cultivate here quietly. Once the ministers in the court know the current situation of the emperor, I'm afraid it will be even more restless." An Ruo also understood why there were no guards stationed here, and everything was in order. It was hiding deeply, and sighed softly: "But the fox's tail should be revealed soon."

"Then tomorrow morning?" Eunuch Zhang is more worried about how to continue to hide.

An Ruo looked distressed at An Ling Mingcheng who was still unconscious, "It seems that tomorrow I can only find an excuse to delay for a day."

"Observe the order." Eunuch Zhang responded respectfully, because now the queen is the one who has the right to make the decision.

"Eunuch Zhang, please go there yourself and find Ziye." An Ruo said strictly, she couldn't let too many people know about this place.

"The old servant will go now." After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Anling Yuhao finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and his hard work paid off. Ye Lan finally found the witch doctor with Dugu Ao, and there was only one condition for agreeing to treat him, that is, he could not let Ye Lan die, but he had to stay forever.

Ye Lan agreed without hesitation, as long as he could save Duguao, he could even give up his life, how could he refuse such a condition?Although there is a lot of reluctance, he is also relieved to see Duguao waking up.

He really kept his promise, and since then he has never stepped out of the valley. Even if the witch doctor's soul returned to the west, he never thought that he would leave here, but kept learning some things that the witch doctor taught him that are not common in the world. It is not that he is used to this kind of life alone, but he has already regarded the witch doctor as his master, and he will not violate any of his promises. Such persistence and silence , such seriousness and stubbornness, this kind of him is Ye Lan.

Remember Ye Lan said that she could save herself?Anling Yuhao couldn't help a wry smile, how could there be a cure for such a poison?Perhaps only the appearance of the blood spirit can bring him back to life.

Seeing the back of Ye Lan leaving in a hurry to find medicine for him, Anling Yuhao struggled to sit up. He had no strength at all, but now he could only look out the window like a disabled person, feeling a little out of breath in his heart. angry.

On the top of the willows on the moon, after the appointment with people at dusk, the tranquility of the evening did not seem to make Anling Yuhao feel peaceful, but instead caused chaotic thoughts, like a direction that could not be found, colliding wantonly in his mind.

Recalling the moment when I fell off the cliff, why does it feel like my second fall?Obviously it's just this time, why do you always feel that it happened before?Anling Yuhao couldn't understand what was flashing in his mind at that time, it seemed that there was still a worry in his heart at that time, who was that person who was even more important than Ling Zining?He did remember that he was injured by Zhao Shuncheng and his second brother, and he clearly remembered that he was going to save others, but who was the person named Uncle Xiao in the sedan chair?Why do you want to save him?I can't remember any of these.

Although Anling Yuhao knew that if he fell from such a high place, his head would definitely suffer some damage, but everything can still be connected in series, but he always felt that something was missing, maybe it was something insignificant, I don’t remember Worth mentioning.

Suddenly, I remembered what my father had told me about myself. What I had to discuss when I was rushed back from the military camp that day was the plot of Zhenxiang King Luo Shengchuan. My father had already seen through his wolfish ambitions, and he was just waiting for the right time. , now God happened to let him meet his former student Ye Lan, maybe it would really help.

Anling Yuhao took this opportunity to take a break to analyze the current situation. This Luo Shengchuan is a family thief, and he must not compromise the wisdom of every soldier. The ghost gate has a strength that cannot be underestimated. He also coveted himself and the capital of Huanzhao Kingdom. , but because of the marriage between the two countries, they dare not act rashly. As for the Huanzhao Kingdom, they can say that they are both enemies and friends, and their strengths are comparable. As long as they are used well, they can be used for themselves. If you wake up, then things will be a little bad, so the key now is to handle the relationship with Huanzhao Kingdom carefully.

Thinking about the country's current internal and external troubles, but I can't share my father's worries, and now I'm hurt like this, and I haven't returned to the palace for so many days, Liu Meng and the others must have been very anxious. If the mother knows what happened now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to sleep and eat. The more Anling Yuhao thinks about it, the more he can't sit still like this. Since his body is already in this state, why not do something with his remaining strength?

This is Anling Yuhao, that incomparable frivolity will always be his spirit, even at the end of his life, he is not afraid of death, but afraid that he will not make good use of the most needed place in this last time.

Struggling to move his body, he finally turned over with all his strength on the edge of the bed, and fell to the ground without any support. There was a bloodstain on his forehead, and he didn't stop moving. His wound was smeared with blood due to friction, but he reached out to reach the bamboo chair in front of him, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and the moment he touched the bamboo chair, he wanted to use this strength to prop himself up, hurriedly Breathing, the chest has been slowly raised, but finally the bamboo chair is overwhelmed, and he fell to the ground again.

"Yu Hao, what are you doing?" A surprised shout came from the door, followed by hurried footsteps.

Ye Lan helped Anling Yuhao who was already exhausted, and put his hands on her shoulders. Because she was taller than herself, she carried it with some difficulty.

"Let... let me leave, I can't continue to be here." An Ling Yuhao was still struggling, but he was already weak.

Ye Lan ignored Anling Yuhao at all, just carried him back to the bed, turned around and took the soup that had just been brewed, "If you leave like this, I'm afraid you will die on the road before you leave the valley Bar."

"They need me." Anling Yuhao looked at Ye Lan panting, a few strands of silver hair sticking to his sweat-drenched cheeks.

"You need me now. I said I can save you, so I will be able to do it, so you must cooperate. Only in this way can you get better as soon as possible." Ye Lan understands Anling Yuhao's stubborn temper very well, "You have to believe Me, because you have no choice!"

Anling Yuhao finally closed his eyes, and the shortness of breath just now began to calm down, but the blush on his delicate face due to the strenuous exercise just now did not fade away, like a shy water lotus.

As night fell, candles were already lit in the palace, and the red light shone brightly like daytime. This was what Ling Han meant, and he was praying for his beloved Ning'er.

"Father..." Ling Han only felt a familiar voice coming from his ears, and because he was too tired, he closed his eyes slightly beside his daughter's bed.

Ling Han couldn't help being awakened by the soft voice, and looked at Ling Zining who was looking at him in a daze. No matter whether he was the emperor who ruled the world or not, he had already held his daughter's hand in tears of joy.

"Ning'er, the emperor is here, and the emperor has always been here." This is not the emperor's emotion, but the father's tears.
