Chapter 6: Leading the snake out of the cave (4)

Not to mention that Zhu Yinglong left Wuying Pavilion and turned back to the Yangxin Palace, hiding in the imperial study room to review the memorials, the harem deliberately issued an order ten days later to behead Lan Lin, breaking the long-lost peace and peace.

The news was conveyed by a little palace maid named Meixiang. Meixiang is Lan Rong's personal little palace maid. When Lan Rong was serving Zhu Yinglong, Xiao Meixiang was always by her side. Lan Rong had a prominent identity and the identity of her master. Xiao Meixiang was very sensible, so she was very happy. Xiao Meixiang's family was poor and she was bought into the palace by her parents. At that time, Xiao Meixiang was only ten years old. Now Xiao Meixiang has grown into a graceful girl. Lan Rong loves it even more. Under daily training, she has become Lan Rong's most caring person. Lan Rong also takes good care of Xiao Meixiang's family. Naturally, Xiao Meixiang is loyal to Lan Rong, a person who is both master and sister.

It can be said that in this world, Lan Rong has only three relatives. One is the adoptive father Lan Lin who has used her but raised her for twenty years. The other is the man who forgives and loves her many times. Now she is the husband she relies on for the rest of her life. The other is Xiao Meixiang, who looks like a sister and like an apprentice.

Xiao Meixiang is a very thoughtful girl, and Lan Rong did not hide many secrets from her, so Lan Rong was very clear about Lan Lin's father-daughter relationship. Although Meixiang herself knew that such a father was not worth Lan Rong's efforts for it. In her opinion, Lan Lin deserves to die, but she was also afraid that Lan Rong would be sad. She was also abandoned by her own parents and empathized with the deep nostalgia of fatherly love. However, hers were far from as strong as Lan Rong's arrival and so difficult to give up. After all, no one wanted a girl at the beginning, but now it is different. I don't know how many people envy her parents for having a daughter who serves by the Empress, which is a glory to reach the sky.

Listening to Xiao Meixiang's soft report, the smile on Lan Rong's pretty face faded completely, and it turned into an indescribable pale touch.

"Sister Lan Rong, what's wrong? What happened? Why is your face so pale?" The queen always has to be more careful than others, especially when she observes words and expressions. There are so many sisters in the harem, except for a few of whom are relatively weak, which one does not need her to worry about. Of course, the sisters are all smart masters and know how to move forward and retreat, but it does not mean that she can let go of her responsibilities and act at will. On the contrary, the burden on the shoulders of the queen Zhou Yingning is not light, so she soon discovered that Lan Rong, who had not changed her face before the collapse of Mount Tai, had a strange expression on her face, and was absent-minded. Did something happen? I just saw her close-fitting little girl Mei Xiang, who seemed to have been here, and she seemed to have said something to her, and she became like this.

"More concern for the queen sister, Lan Rong was just a little uncomfortable." Although Lan Rong's face had returned to calm, she was still a little unnatural. At this moment, she was extremely unstable and hurriedly stood up and bowed apologetically, "Sisters, Lan Rong is not in good health, so she will leave first."

All the girls stopped the objects in their hands in surprise, with a little puzzled look in their eyes, and even a little unhappy. At this time, Shen Qianqian stepped forward and smiled, hugged Lan Rong with an arm and said, "Sister Rong, today the sisters are gathered together, just for the sake of liveliness. The emperor is going to come here later, so you can stay."

Lan Rong had something in her mind, and she knew that the emperor had come, but she left again. Obviously she would not come again. The reason was of course because of herself. If she didn't leave, the emperor would be embarrassed when she faced her, and she would not come even more. The sisters were all waiting for the emperor to come happily, so she couldn't keep it because of herself. Moreover, she felt so irritated that she could not keep it. So she slowly pulled out her arm and apologized again: "Lan Rong is really unwell, and I hope you sisters don't blame me."

There was a reason for this, Queen Zhou Yingning saw it, and the other smart concubines also saw it, but they all guessed in their hearts, and their eyes were very different when they looked at Lan Rong.

"Since Sister Rong is not in good health, we don't force ourselves to stay. After all, health is important." Zhou Yingning's gentle and tolerant voice sounded.

"Sister Xie Empress, Lan Rong takes her leave." Lan Rong attracted Mei Xiang, and with her support, she left Kunning Palace and headed straight for the Yangxin Palace.

"Sister Queen, Sister Lan Rong is a martial arts master. She is in good health, but I have never heard of her being sick." Ye Lianyi was the most simple, and she opened her mouth and expressed her questions in her heart.

"Sister Lianyi, haven't you seen it? Sister Lan Rong never needs help when she walks. When she left just now, she almost relied on Mei Xiang's body to support her." Xiong Hu's observation was still very meticulous, and she could tell at a glance the difference between Lan Rong and the past.

"I also find it strange. What can make Lan Rong lose her calmness so much?" Zhou Yingning said.

"Sister Lan Rong has no relatives and no reason. Apart from the emperor, we sisters, are almost nothing worthy of her losing her calmness?" Magu analyzed next.

"Why is the emperor?" Ye Lianyi was a person who couldn't hide his words in his heart. He immediately started to start, which scared the girls and his expression became nervous.

"No, if something happened to the emperor, how could Lan Rong not say it? If something really happened, I will be the first to know." As the queen, Zhou Yingning naturally has the qualification to say this.

"That's what Sister Lan Rong does?" Tian Shuying said, and the girls all breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their feelings, but it did not mean that they didn't care, and the worry on their faces still did not disappear.

The harem only knows what is happening in the court, and it shouldn't be known. The harem naturally cannot know. Although Zhu Yinglong issued the imperial edict for Lan Lin beheading ten days later, this is just a verbal decree. From the edict to the stamping of the jade seal, and then to the issuance of the world, it takes time. This is not a special edict, so it naturally slows down a little, but it is not slow. Zhu Yinglong passed through Kunning Palace and did not enter. One is that he couldn't bear to break the quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside the ring. The other is that he did not want to face Lan Rong or Lan.

Rong concealed it, and he had promised Lan Rong that he would not kill Lan Lin before, but now he suddenly regretted it. Although this was just a situation, he could not reveal any words before breaking the situation, especially Lan Rong. The opponent's omnipresence made Zhu Yinglong very afraid. Thirdly, in order to avoid Lan Rong, he did not return to Yangxin Palace, but went to Wuying Pavilion. After a fight, the imperial edict had been issued. The road was already completed. As long as he could avoid Lan Rong within ten days, the truth would be revealed, and he could naturally face Lan Rong with confidence.

Of course, he could conspire with Lan Rong to play a scene, but this idea was forcibly suppressed by him, because Lan Rong's filial piety always made him unable to trust Lan Rong wholeheartedly. There were too many factors that could not be entangled with between him and Lan Rong. Perhaps the relationship between the two would become clear after this incident. He admitted that he liked Lan Rong very much, but sometimes the emperor was ruthless, and Lan Rong had only one choice, and he chose what he chose for Lan Rong.

It is obvious that Lan Rong took Xiao Meixiang to escape from the Yangxin Palace, and the emperor did not come back at all, and the eunuch of the deacon was not clear about the emperor's whereabouts.

The emperor issued an order, and Caishikou asked to kill Lan Lin ten days later?

Shortly after Lan Rong left Kunning Palace, Zhou Yingning sent the eunuchs who followed Lan Rong to inquire about the news, which brought shocking news to all the ladies in Kunning Palace.

The girls finally understood why Lan Rong suddenly lost her usual calmness and surpassed the girls. It turned out that the incident happened to Lan Lin. The secret of Lan Rong's life experience was in the hearts of the ladies in the harem. Especially because Lan Rong was not Lan Lin's biological child, the real reason why the girls in the harem slowly accepted Lan Rong's real reason. If Lan Rong was really Lan Lin's biological child, then Lan Rong's identity in the harem was almost isolated and irreconcilable. Even Shen Qianqian was also because her mother was from the Lan family.

And Lan Lin's sister is somewhat repulsive. Of course, Shen Qianqian's surname is "Shen" but not "Lan" has gained the same status as Lan Lin. Similarly, the Shen family has helped the emperor very much. The undestroyable merits also give Shen Qianqian a place in the harem. The premise is that Shen Qianqian can be a human being. Of course, if there is a shrewd mother, the daughter will naturally not be bad. There is also a mother who is more expensive than a daughter. After all, Shen Qianqian gave birth to a cute princess for the emperor.

Lan Rong thought she was handing over to Zhu Yinglong for Lan Lin's immortality. At first she stubbornly thought it was a deal, but gradually, she found that if this man had not attracted her strongly, she would have taken the initiative to hand over her innocent body to him. Although she had achieved what she wanted in her heart, and now she found that she could not live without this man. It was not just protection, but more importantly, protection. This was her only precious property in this life, even more valuable than her life. But why did he do this? He had already promised herself that she would not kill Lan Lin, but why did he still do this? Lan Rong only felt that her heart was cut hard. This knife was more painful than Lan Lin abandoned her and even wanted to kill her.

Zhu Yinglong didn't know that his position in Lan Rong's heart had risen to this level, even surpassing Lan Lin. He did this so deeply and painfully hurt this strong woman who was not good at expressing emotions. However, Zhu Yinglong did not regret it. If he had not passed this matter, he might never have known that Lan Rong's heart was so delicate and sincere, especially the persistence that moved him very much. Such a woman was unknown, but the only one.

What was going on? A huge greeting rose in the hearts of all the girls. The emperor seemed to be in a bit mysterious recently. The harem has come a lot less often. Moreover, there has been no trace of Zhou Huaian, the commander of the Imperial Guards, for several days. He said that he was sent out by the emperor to do business. No one knew what he did. Before leaving, he also sent a million taels of silver from the accounts of the inner palace of the harem. Although there was the emperor's handwriting, no one dared to ask about it, but that was not one hundred taels, that was one million taels. The queen naturally had the right to investigate this matter. Why didn't she, the harem leader, not ask about it? Although the emperor is the head of the family, the answer she got was only "secret purpose". It involves confidentiality. She, the queen, did not ask much about it.

Another person was shocked when he heard the news, that was Chen Qianqian. After all, Lan Lin was Chen Qianqian's uncle after all. This is an indisputable fact. I wonder what would happen to her mother when she learned that her uncle was going to be killed? She couldn't help but worry in her heart, and hesitated whether she should quickly inform her mother of the news.

The news from the eunuchs was fragmented and incomplete, and they couldn't ask anything. At this time, they knew that the emperor had come, but they didn't come in and left later, but their whereabouts were unknown. Obviously, they couldn't bear to face Lan Rong and left. The only person who knew the whole thing was the eunuch Xu Yingyuan who was even more with the emperor, but he just followed the emperor and could not summon him at all.

What to do? The party finally ended and the queen was a little unhappy as the initiator, but the destroyer was not someone else. She couldn't give up this anger. The matter was implicated in the harem, so she couldn't ignore it.

"Sister Li Niang, please go and go to the Yangxin Palace to see. Sister Lan Rong is a stubborn temper, and I am a little worried." Zhou Yingning frowned slightly and said to Xiong Hu. Although she was the leader of the harem, she thought that Xiong Hu, who had a great influence on the emperor, she respected her as "sister".

"The Queen's sister speaks without any effort, and Li Niang will go and see it." Xiong Hu hurriedly stood up and nodded. She knew that when she entered the palace wall, she needed to have that perception. The emperor's mind was great. Whoever reversed this mind would be disliked by the emperor, especially a strong and independent emperor like Zhu Yinglong. A smart concubine did smart things. Although she was a concubine, gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and her father was a famous general who was invincible. She knew more clearly that she was already on the verge of the storm. If she was not careful, disaster would come. Therefore, in addition to teaching her son, Xiong Hu became as concise as Xu Ruying in the harem, and was more humble and cautious in her behavior.

After Xiong Hu left, all the girls said goodbye and parted. The last moment was still happy and happy, but the next moment they parted in dissatisfaction and deserted.
