Chapter 331 spies
When Lanzhi and his relatives arrived at Doro, King Doro was too sick to get out of bed, and even the welcome ceremony was held by Mu Cang.
When I first came here, in the face of strange environments, strange faces, and even language, Lanzhi is very clear about the meaning of coming here, so she has been dead for a long time. When King Dora died, he also hanged the green silk and took the initiative to go to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures for King Doro, so as not to become a married maid. Because she is already a princess, she can't commit suicide, at least before King Dora dies, she can't commit suicide, otherwise her peace will lose its meaning. But after all, she was just a young girl who was in love. Looking at the soon-to-go King Doro, Lanzhi cried for several nights.
However, when she summoned up her courage and decided to come to serve King Doro for her brother and mother, she was stopped by Mucang. Looking at the majestic burly and burly of other Doro people, Mu Cang is similar to Yan Kaizhi and is a strong type. It is said that because Mu Cang's mother was originally an intermarriage between Doro and Qingguo, he has a quarter of Qingguo blood in his body.
Lanzhi remembered that her brother mentioned this man, saying that he was as sharp as a goose, as brave as a cheetah, and as ambitious as a wolf. If Yu Cang's horror lies in his tiger-like momentum and black bear-like physique, then Mu Cang is the king of wolves. He will not fight alone or even rush to the front, but his horror is that he can make everyone around him have to submit to his momentum, but he always looks so harmless.
"I have agreed with the second prince that in other days, we will all get the throne, and we will return the pearl to the court and the wild geese will return to the mountain." Lanzhi clearly remembered that Mu Cang had a pair of chilling eyes at that time, and what she saw in his eyes was unbearable confidence and pride. Although Mu Cang only said this to her, in Lanzhi's opinion, this is the best guarantee. After Muchang left, Queen Dora's maid sent someone to tell Lanzhi, "My king is seriously ill and can't summon the princess. Please ask the princess to recite the heavenly scriptures for my king to pray for God to bless our king."
Queen Doro's mind is very clear. She is afraid that King Doro will not be as young and beautiful as Lanzhi, and then she will be exhausted. And she is more afraid that once Lanzhi is favored, the fate of the whole Mingshui Palace will be changed. Because the Daxi Dynasty had an old king who spoiled the new concubine, and abolished all the princes as common people and made the young son of the new concubine king. As a result, as soon as the king died, he knew that the son of the new concubine was not the blood of the royal family. Fortunately, the deposed prince still won the hearts of the people and supported the army to regain the throne, but this is also something that the Doro people have always tabooed. So much so that since the founding of the state, Doro has set rules that all successors must have meritorious deeds, otherwise they cannot succeed to the throne.
Because of this, every generation of King Doro is a brave and belligerent.
However, Lanzhi obeyed the order of Queen Doro and "recite scriptures and prayed for King Doro" in her bedroom every day. After gaining the trust of Queen Doro, she intended to grant her to Muchang, and this will resolutely made Lanzhi feel afraid. Fortunately, Mucang still kept the agreement and sent her back, but she never thought that she had not died at the hands of the Doro, but was almost killed by her own people.
At the thought of the Doro court ladies who were brutally killed in order to protect herself, Lanzhi realized that it was never a nation or a country, but ambition.
But she can't believe that Hongyi has been taking care of her like her own brother. How can she bear to force her to death? If she doesn't want to go back, she doesn't have to send envoys to meet her. Anyway, her mother is dead and her brother is exiled to Haiting. Her life has long been meaningless.
Shaohua listened to Lanzhi's words and shook her head in surprise again and again, but Lanzhi did not look like a lie. Moreover, Hu Banniang also confirmed that Lanzhi's escort army was unexpected halfway. Shaohua felt confused. She gasped and said, "How could this happen? The second master and he can't kill you. He even kept his husband." If Yan Kaizhi knew that Hongyi treated Lanzhi like this, how could he still be awarded the title to the north of Sichuan?
Lanzhi sighed faintly. Youning did not say anything, but silently stretched out her hand to cover her cold little hand, making Lanzhi feel at ease and warm. She looked at Shaohua and gently pulled the corners of her mouth, "I also thought that the second master would not kill me, but I don't know who it was. In short, I was rescued by the people of the Mingshui Palace, but they still died halfway." Lanzhi was sure that these pursuers came with the brigade. She looked up and smiled at Youning, and her smile became bright and touching. "It happened that she met Youning. It was the one who saved me."
Shaohua didn't know why she felt that there must be something hidden between them and didn't tell her, but when she saw Youning and Lanzhi, she couldn't say anything. One is her good friend and sister-in-law, and the other is her brother. If the two could make a pair before, it would be a perfect match. But now Lanzhi's identity is very embarrassing, and whether she can return to Beijing is the same.
She sighed and looked at Youning, whose face had recovered a lot. She didn't know whether his blood had recovered or just blush. "Then why did you run to Doro?"
You Ning saw that Shaohua did not oppose him and Lanzhi, so he took Lanzhi's hand more firmly and curled his lips to Shaohua and said, "Who told you that Doro is obviously outside the northern city of Sichuan. I shouted the door for a long time, but they refused to let me in. Who dared to look at me like this when my father was here! When I go back, I have to tear them all apart. Lanzhi's little hand was held by him, and her face turned red. She was so scared that she wanted to pull away, but You Ning held it tighter. She was so nervous that she secretly glanced at Shaohua. Fortunately, Shaohua looked as usual and looked ahead, as if she didn't notice their little movements, so Lanzhi slowly gave up struggling.
Shaohua's eyes glanced at the two from awkward shyness to natural intimacy. She decided to go to North Sichuan and find a good opportunity to interrogate Youning. "Don't be angry first. I'm asking you what you heard and how can you go straight here." She now wants to know more about everything. Anyway, Lanzhi was intercepted and killed on the way back to China, and she was also the pick-up of her own country, which had to make people stand up.
Youning thought for a moment and slowly said what she knew. Just thinking of Mrs. Xin, he felt that there were two big heads, and he didn't know if she could accept it. Although Lanzhi is very worried, Youning has been prepared for a long time. At this time, Shaohua and Xin Zixuan must be the backer, especially Shaohua. If Xin Maoshan refuses, at worst, he will continue to run away from home. The world is big, except for the capital, where he likes many places.
However, after walking for a while, Youning said calmly, "I also overheard it. I don't know who came home to kiss that day. I was not happy, so I deliberately made them feel that I was wandering. Shaohua immediately rolled his eyes and thought that You Ning was already fooled enough to smear his image. Youning ignored her silent complaints and continued, "As a result, several of the people in that group were the so-called noble ministers in the court. All of them relied on the fact that I was the former imperial party. They said that as long as they wanted the official position, the emperor did not dare not give it."
"When they ate in the restaurant that day, they drank a high and began to go crazy. I heard a man say that although Brother Yan was born and died as a general of the emperor, he could not resist the death of the noble minister. He also said that today, except for the Imperial Party, which was the Empress Dowager Party, the emperor dared to break the face of his mother's family for the Yan family. Now the He family does not help him and can only rely on noble ministers. As soon as Mrs. Yan died, Brother Yan was also exiled, so Lanzhi could not be allowed to come back, otherwise the Yan family would disrupt the government again.
The more Youning said, the more serious his expression became. In the end, he even became angry, which made people unable to figure out whether he was angry for such arrogant words or because of the thoughts of the so-called noble minister.
Shaohua also scolded angrily, "Nonsense!"
Youning looked at her angry face and couldn't help sneering: "There is more exaggeration. They said that Brother Yan married you just relied on the Li family and tried to get a Dingxihou Mansion as a backer for you, so he took such a big risk to not die." Although Lanzhi has heard these words, she still whispered, "My brother really likes Wu Niang." Youning patted the back of her hand, indicating that he understood that if Yan Kaizhi didn't like Shaohua, he would not let Shaohua marry him like this.
Shaohua didn't see their small movements. He was so angry that his fists were tightly pinched, and his whole back was straight. Who the hell said that? What a bastard!" She also heard these words from Hongfang, but she was just deliberately insinuing her, so she didn't take them seriously. However, when she heard Youning also said so, Shaohua suddenly felt furious. Her relationship with Yan Kaizhi was on the turn of others. Even if Yan Kaizhi refused to let go, she knew in her heart that Yan Kaizhi would never be that kind of snab.
Youning knew Shaohua's feelings for Yan Kaizhi and did not dare to stimulate her with these words. He calmed down and whispered to her, "It doesn't matter who said it. The important thing is that they were originally refused to let the emperor send envoys to pick up Lanzhi back, saying that Lanzhi was already a princess as soon as she came back, but she was from the Yan family after all. I'm afraid that she will avenge Brother Yan.
Shaohua gritted his teeth and showed an unprecedented fierce light in his eyes. "Do they forget that I am also a member of the Yan family? If something happens to my husband, I will also avenge him."
If he knows that someone forced the emperor to kill Yan Kaizhi, she will never let that person go, and even if she dies, the other party will never be better.
You Ning nodded hurriedly to show that she understood what she meant: "So I didn't tell my father and mother, so I ran out in a hurry. Unexpectedly, it was true." Although he was worried about Lanzhi, he thought that someone secretly wanted to kill Lanzhi, whether it was for himself or Yan Kaizhi, and then Shaohua. In short, there was only one thought in his mind at that time: he had to go out and he wanted to keep Lanzhi.
He actually raised this issue with Xin Maoshan, but Xin Maoshan did not think that someone in the court was so bold that he dared to blackmail the emperor. More importantly, Lanzhi is now a princess. No matter what her surname is, she will be a royal bloodline once she comes back. As a courtier, he actually wanted to attack the princess, which was obviously a big taboo. So no matter what Youning said, Xin Maoshan felt that he was just teased by his drunken friends. For a moment, his brain was hot and asked him to go back to the house to study hard.
You Ning is not such an obedient person. As soon as he saw that his father didn't care, he sneaked out without saying a word.
