Chapter 67 Hook Covenant
Duoduo opened his eyes and looked at Yan Ji, as if his mother was not normal today.
"Mom, I was hungry, but suddenly I wanted to go to the bathroom again, so I went to the hut and had a delicious meal after emptying my stomach..." He said and touched his stomach again.
"Mom, is there anything to eat in the kitchen? I'm starving. I can't. I'm looking for delicious food!" Duoduo ran into the kitchen without waiting for Yan Ji's reaction.
Yan Ji stood where she was, but she was a little helpless.
"Duoduo, why did you cheat Zhan Lingze into my room today and said that I was looking for him. What's the intention..."
Duoduo was eating the cake she had just found. Hearing Yan Ji ask this, she was suddenly stunned. After that, her mother was going to question herself.
"Oh, mother, is this pastry broken? My stomach hurts again. No, I have to go to the toilet again!"
As he spoke, he hurried out.
Unexpectedly, she was caught by Yan Ji and looked at him with sharp eyes.
"Stop playing tricks, how can I not know your little thought? Come on, why do you want to play with your own mother? Yan Ji interrogated Duoduo in the posture of a strict mother.
Duoduo's heart thumped. After that, my mother doubted herself. I didn't expect my mother to be so powerful. Anyway, I couldn't admit it!
"Mother, Duoduo and her mother have been dependent on each other for many years. How can they betray their mother? Mother should believe in Duoduo's character, but Duoduo was cultivated by her mother. At that time, Uncle Zhan did tell me to find you. I just conveyed it. If you don't believe it, you can ask him!"
That's good. Yan Ji didn't ask, and Duoduo herself was guilty.
"Huh? I haven't said what's going on yet... I didn't call myself! You dead child... Look at me beating your ass..." Yan Ji stretched out her hand and raised her high, looking like she was going to hit you more.
"Mother, I'm so sleepy. I'll go to bed first. I can't!"
I'm in a hurry to get away.
It seems that she really can't control the child more and more. Yan Ji shook her head helplessly in place.
The next morning, Yanji and her party had to set out again. Because the day of sacrifice was imminent, they had to rush to the Fire Sea City to subdue the monsters as soon as possible.
The three thieves who were forgiven by them also said goodbye early in the morning, and they planned to go to the capital. Obviously, the capital is at the foot of the emperor, and there are more opportunities for development. Although it is also a place of right and wrong, everything is two-sided.
They also know the stakes. If they hadn't made mistakes here and been subdued by Yan Ji and others, they would have gone astray, let alone turn over. They didn't expect that these young princes and girls are not only martial arts and intelligent, but more importantly, they have a charitable heart. They were forgiven and received unexpected funding. No matter what happens in the future, they will not forget these people who are kind to them.
After the three thieves left, Yan Ji and the others also set out. Before leaving, the boss's wife and the staff in her store still watched them leave with gratitude.
In the palace, Lanxinyuan
A man hurried into Lan Guifei's bedroom, flying through the walls, covering people's eyes and ears.
"Here you are..." Lan Guifei put down the book she was reading and said slowly.
The man smiled faintly and then came forward.
"The ear power of Lan Guifei is really strong. My footsteps are already very light, but I was still discovered by Lan Guifei!"
Lan Guifei did not slow down and turned around to look at the man calmly.
"If a person's heart is quiet, everything will be quiet, and a trace of noise in his ear will not be let go..."
The pink is slightly elegant, and the faint orchid fragrance on Lan Guifei's body is even more refreshing.
The man came forward and hugged the beauties in front of him.
Princess Lan was in a panic and hurriedly looked out of the door.
"How can you behave so frivolously..." He threw away the man.
"Don't worry, I just observed carefully. There is no one near your bedroom..." The man said, but his eyes rippled.
He unconsciously put his hand on Lan Guifei's neck and slowly stroked it.
"That can't be so careless... Why did you break into my bedroom like this in the light? If it were known, it would be bad..." Lan Guifei suddenly worried.
She knows very well that he intends to get close to her not only because he knows his true identity, and he is deeply loved by the emperor. He is a good pawn for him, and he is also powerful, so he has also become a bargaining chip for her to achieve great things. The two of them have always been mutually beneficial, only Only through cooperation can we achieve great success together.
The man then calmed down, his eyes flashed with a trace of worry, and he said slowly, "Actually, I came here this time because I learned a shocking news!"
Princess Lan was suddenly shocked, "Oh, what's the news?"
"Zhan Lingze is the son of the father emperor!" The man said word by word with a gloomy face.
Princess Lan's face was full of horror when she heard this.
No wonder Zhan Lingze is just a hereditary prince, but he is deeply loved by the emperor and gives him so many privileges, even better than his own son.
It turned out that it was because of the early death of the King of Chang'an, the emperor could understand his brotherly love for his nephew, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason!
"Is your message accurate?" Lan Guifei is still a little unbelievable.
"It's true that the emperor and Zhan Lingze recognized each other in the imperial study a few days... I'm afraid others don't know this news, and my father also intends to hide it from the outside world."
Lan Guifei suddenly got up and took steps and meditated.
Before she could clear everything, the man said again, "And now there is still shocking news!"
Lan Guifei stopped and looked at the man with a confused face.
"The emperor issued a secret decree to ask the national master and Zhan Lingze to go to Huohai City to subdue the monsters. Now they have set out for a day..."
Lan Guifei frowned and looked worried.
"So the emperor wants him to make a great contribution and deliberately pave the way for him..."
The man is even more worried.
"Yes, Huohai City is now affected by monsters and the disaster is also very serious. His father did this to bring him closer to the national teacher, and on the other, he intended to make him meritorious service. Does he really intend to make him the crown prince?"
The man shook his head and then said, "Zhan Lingze is powerful and supported by the old power of the old King Chang'an. Now if the emperor really wants to help him, I'm afraid..."
Lan Guifei was very unwilling, "I'm afraid that if the emperor appointed him as the crown prince, it seems to be a little unspeakable!" Even if he is really the emperor's son, it will attract criticism..."
"But my father's temper, I know that it is difficult to change what he decides, and my father's means should not be underestimated...
The man is still worried.
Lan Guifei suddenly walked to the man, with a sincere and expectant face.
"Second prince... Don't you want to be the emperor?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch the second prince's face.
The second prince looked at the tender face of Lan Guifei and hugged her slender water snake waist.
"Of course I want... Don't worry... I will take care of this matter. Since the emperor wants him to make contributions, I won't let him do it!"
The second prince's eyes were fierce and murderous.
"I also took the opportunity to test the emperor to see what he meant..."
Princess Lan looked at the second prince affectionately, with a tender face and a charming expression...
Yan Ji and the others continued to go on their way, walked for more than half a day, and finally arrived at Qingfeng Town.
The carriage drove in, but found that everyone in the town hurried to the same direction.
"Mom, what's wrong with them? What are they in a hurry to do?"
Duoduo lifted the small window curtain on the side of the carriage and saw a chaotic scene in the town.
"Yes, they seem to be in a hurry to see something, otherwise why do they run in one direction..." Yan Ji is also very curious. Generally speaking, only when strange things happen can people see it in piles, but she has never seen so many people rush to one place.
"You will know if you go down and ask..." Zhan Lingze said coldly.
So several people got out of the carriage.
Si Kou Xunxiang blocked the road of a kind-looking old man.
"Old gentleman, where are you going?" Si Kou Xunxiang asked respectfully and politely.
The old gentleman looked at Yan Ji and others, and then said, "Look, you look like outsiders. You don't know anything. We are all going to the ancestral hall in the town. Because a woman in the town got pregnant before she came out of the cabinet, she will be burned at the stake!"
Yan Ji was shocked when she heard this.
"What is burning?"
The old man shook his head, sighed, and then said, "I'm going to be tied to the shelf and burned alive!"
Then the old man said no more and hurried to the direction of the ancestral hall.
What's the reason? If you are pregnant before marriage, you will be burned to death! There is still no humanity, and Yan Ji simply can't understand it.
"Why do they use such cruel criminal law against a woman? Is there any king's law in this place?
Yan Ji became excited. She knew that her predecessor was the real Yan Ji. She was unmarried and pregnant, and it was also because of this that she was going to be killed by the people of the banquet house! Why do they care so much about human life... Why are they so cruel...
"Miss Yan, you don't know that in addition to the government, the town will also have their own rules. These rules are stipulated by the highly valued predecessors. They have the right to enforce the criminal law by themselves, and will also be supported by the government and the government!"
Bian Yifei was a little confused when he saw that Yan Ji was so excited. Although he did sympathize with the woman, the rules were set by the town, and no one could do anything about it.
"That's two lives... No... We have to stop all this!"
Yan Ji immediately ran in the direction of the flow of people.
Zhan Lingze's thoughts suddenly returned to seven years ago, when he made a mistake because he went crazy.
It also made Yan Ji pregnant, which also led to her persecution and had to escape to the remote desert. He Duoduo suffered so much. Fortunately, he met Yan Ji and Duoduo again. However, how can the woman who is about to be burned at the stake be so lucky? Does she really have to pay such a big price for it?
