Reborn Emperor's Wife

Inside and outside the city walls, the atmosphere was stalemate, but the scene that should have been chaotic was eerily quiet.The soldiers standing above the city wall and the soldiers patrolling under the city wall were all silent, as if a little louder would cause terrible things. Not to mention the city wall, even the capital was quiet. The busiest Chang'an Street was closed. The households and small merchants along the street were also gone. In such an atmosphere, even a wild dog wandering on the street quickly jumped into the shadows with its tail between its legs.

A few figures appeared at the back door of the slightly depressed General's Mansion. The door knocker knocked on the door panel twice regularly while looking left and right. As soon as the knocking sound fell, the back door was opened, and there was a small crack behind it. With a cloudy old eye, the old man in it looked the knocker up and down before opening the door wide, "Come in, the Lord is waiting."

"Thank you, old man." The door knocker thanked him and quickly entered the door, as did the people behind him.

After everyone went in, the old man poked his head out and looked outside. There was only gusts of wind in the empty alley, and he couldn't even see the shadows of cats and dogs. Seeing nothing, the old man went in and closed the door.

The few people who came in from the back door went around into a yard familiarly, and when they saw the man standing beside the tall pomegranate tree in the yard, they immediately saluted, "This subordinate has seen the master."

"Get up, you came here but someone found it?" Lou Yinan asked after taking a sip of tea with the cup in his hand.

"Yes." The person who knocked on the door earlier replied.

These people were trained by "Eagle Falcon" to be spies, and Lou Yinan came to report after finishing the tasks assigned to them. "That one has been placed in a courtyard in the capital, and the subordinates have found an old lady to take care of her."

"Well, let's talk about the specific situation. After all, it is the blood of the Lou family." Lou Yinan said this with some helplessness. He should be able to spend his life safely and smoothly, but Rou'er took a wrong path. It's all your own choice and you can't blame anyone.

The subordinate picked up the important things that happened in the process and said them in detail. It turned out that after Rongyi heard Liang Wusheng say something about Aunt Rou, he told Lou Yinan, and Lou Yinan sent someone to investigate After a while, it was confirmed that the Aunt Rou who was sold by Qi Hongjun as rumored in the market was Rou'er.After all, the blood of the Lou family is flowing on Rou'er, even if she dies, she must die cleanly, and she cannot be abused indiscriminately while alive, nor can she dirty the reputation of the Lou family even if she lives or dies.

Rou'er was bought back by that Hu businessman, that Hu businessman has an absurd temper, he used women's bodies to clear the way in business, and he hosted banquets that he could do whatever he wanted, Rou'er was beaten when he couldn't resist After a meal, she became honest, and became a tool for Hu merchants to entertain guests. Han people, Hu people, Persians, red-haired people... Rou'er has met anyone who has business dealings with Hu merchants...

When Rou'er was found, she was laughing at the banquet, using her frailty and beauty to create a stable life for herself. The original beautiful appearance inevitably brought the color of dust, and the desire to find someone It also takes a long time to be sure.

To avoid further troubles, the person-seeker redeemed Rou'er with money, prepared a secluded and quiet courtyard for her, and found a dull old mother to take care of her.As for that Hu businessman, the sudden death is the end. As for the property, of course it will be confiscated in the end.

"That one was already three months pregnant when she was found." Another three months passed, and the child is now six months old.

Lou Yinan was silent for a while, "After the capital settles down, send her to the south of the Yangtze River, and give her some money so that she can change her name and surname to live there." That's all he can do. She didn't go out of her way to follow Qi Hongjun, but chose to follow the arrangement of her mother and father to marry an ordinary official family. Now it's a different situation.But there are no ifs in the world, and Lou Yinan will only feel a little bit about it and won't think too much about it. I don't know if Rou'er regrets her original choice now, but even if she regrets it to her heart's content now, it can't change anything.

The subordinate frowned in embarrassment, and decided to be honest, "That one doesn't want the fetus in the womb. After several times of tossing, the baby has not been lost. I am afraid that it will not be raised in the future. How can I ask the master?" Arrange for this child?"

He didn't lose even after tossing, the child's vitality is tenacious, Lou Yinan slightly curled the corner of his mouth, probably because he has a child, his heart has softened, and he has a heart of compassion, so he can't see other people's family of children suffer inhuman harm.Without even thinking about it, Lou Yinan said: "When the child is born, if she doesn't want it, send it to me to see if there will be good bamboo shoots in the bad bamboo. If it's an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf It's not too late to kill when you grow up." Anyway, you can't hurt the little baby, and you will be an adult when you grow up!

Lou Yinan thinks so, if Qi Chengqian finds out, he will definitely be laughed at by Qi Chengqian, but God has the virtue of good life, saving an ignorant and ignorant child is also praying for Cong'er.

"Yes, everything is under the master's arrangement."

Of course, Lou Yinan took the risk to sneak into the capital not only for a concubine's younger sister, Rou'er is not worth the risk, after all, she has a family and a family, so her own safety is still very important.The matter of Rou'er is almost done here, Lou Yinan asked about other things, "Can you find out where the Empress Dowager is in the palace now?"

Ever since King Min ascended the throne and the funeral of the new emperor, the empress dowager who was paralyzed on the bed had disappeared, and it was unknown where King Min had hidden her.

"Reporting to Master, it has been found out that the Empress Dowager is in the Shuye Courtyard."

Shuyeyuan is also known as the Lenggong, where all the unfavored concubines end up there, close to the tall palace wall.Lou Yinan was silent, this is where he planned to enter the palace at night.One thing many people don't know is that there is a small door leading to the outside of the palace in Shuye Courtyard. The gate has not been opened for many years. The wall paint of the same color on the surrounding walls, but you can still find the difference if you look closely. It is the best way to enter the heavily guarded palace.

At night, the sealed small door was quietly opened, and the moment the door was pushed open, the creaking sound spread far away, that is to say, such a remote place would not attract attention, if it were another place, Needless to say what the situation is, after the sound disappeared, Lou Yinan took the lead through the small gate and entered the palace.

He was dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed, looking for the way forward with the faint light of the fire. After walking about ten feet, when he turned the corner, he saw a palace lantern not far away. Faintly lit in the dark.

The person carrying the palace lantern didn't know whether it was because of fear or the cold, and kept moving, which made the candle flames in the palace lantern dance violently.

"Who is it?" The person carrying the palace lantern saw the faint light of the fire fold, and shouted sternly.

Lou Yinan led the person without saying a word, but walked straight forward. The person became even more frightened, and backed away again and again, his voice trembling so hard that he couldn't hear clearly, "You, don't come here, if you come again, I, I will call someone It's gone!"

Even if Lou Yinan and the others had already approached, that person didn't have the guts to shout out, so he could only stick to the wall in fear, his teeth chattering, his legs trembling, his face was pale and dead under the reflection of the palace lantern. , the man closed his eyes firmly, and said with a crying voice: "Don't, don't kill me, I, I just couldn't sleep at night and sneaked around, wandering around."

Lou Yinan looked at the trembling little eunuch in front of him, he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, he turned his head and asked the subordinates beside him speechlessly: "You just found such a person?"

"Damn this subordinate!" He didn't know that his spies in the palace would be like this.

The little eunuch was slow to notice something was wrong, and quietly opened one eye, "Ah, master!" Although it was the first time they met, the little eunuch still recognized Lou Yinan, fear turned into excitement, and almost Jump up and down to express your joy.

Lou Yinan waved his hand, "Take us to the Empress Dowager."

"Yeah." The little eunuch quickly responded, and found that such a hasty answer did not respect Lou Yinan at all, so he bowed respectfully, "Yes, master, this slave will take master to see the empress dowager."

"..." This little eunuch is so funny, it is also a skill for his subordinates to find such a person to work carefully.

The Shuye Courtyard is actually quite big, with small courtyards separated by dilapidated courtyard walls. The mighty Empress Lou in the past is now lingering in such a place.Entering the room, a smell of mildew and decay mixed with a stinky smell made people fall over. The little eunuch cleverly lit the oil lamp on the table. It was really a speck of candlelight, which only illuminated the area around one table. When I got up, I saw a chipped teacup and a rough porcelain bowl on the heavily peeled and mottled table top, and two cold steamed buns on the rough porcelain bowl.

The little eunuch scratched his head and looked at the candlelight. The candlelight was too weak to illuminate the whole room. He stood by the table and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.It was because the subordinates brought by Lou Yinan couldn't see it, so they changed the place of the oil lamp and placed it where it should be at the head of the bed. Only then did Lou Yinan see clearly what the bed looked like.

Lying under a dusty quilt on a tattered canopy bed lay an unkempt, dirty, and almost out-of-shape man.

Lou Yinan's eyes turned sour when he saw his aunt's Empress Lou's appearance. Although her aunt had selfish intentions, she treated him really well. Now that she has become like this, as a junior who is cared for by her, how can she not feel uncomfortable.Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lou Yinan lifted a corner of the quilt. The quilt was so damp that it made people frown. Under the quilt was his aunt's thin hand. Holding her hand, he called softly: "Auntie, Auntie."

After half the payment, the empress dowager opened her eyes. It took a long time for the cloudy eyes to focus on Lou Yinan's face, and it took another long time to recognize Lou Yinan. The lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, excited His mouth grew wide, and the hand held by Lou Yinan was also squeezed back, "Ah, ah, Nan..."

"Auntie, it's me, it's Yinan!"

"Ah, good, ah, good." The empress dowager replied panting heavily, and every time she said a word, she seemed to be extremely struggling. She raised her head and stretched her neck, and the veins on her neck burst.

"Don't get excited, aunt. I'm here. I won't leave. My nephew will rescue you."

The Empress Dowager nodded vigorously, and finally said a complete sentence desperately: "Your brother died so badly, avenge him, revenge, revenge..."

Lou Yinan's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, aunt, the enemy will get retribution."

"Okay, okay." The empress dowager panted heavily, her body couldn't hold on, she lost all her strength and fell limply on the bed.

Seeing that his aunt was still alive, Lou Yinan felt relieved. His father repeatedly asked him to rescue his aunt, and if he went, he would also find her body and let her rest in peace.Now that his aunt is still alive, he can explain to his father and grandmother.

Walking out of the room full of unpleasant smells, Lou Yinan frowned and asked the little eunuch, "Didn't you say that there are maids in the palace who serve the empress dowager, who?"

"There are two elder sisters who have been serving the empress dowager, but they quarreled in the empress dowager's hospital in order to find medicine for the empress dowager, and then they were beaten, and they are still unable to get out of bed."

Trees fall and monkeys scatter, walls fall and everyone pushes them away. This is the reality!
