"Don't worry, the queen mother, this servant has his own way to make Concubine Yigui work for the queen mother."

Seeing that he said without hesitation, the queen felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions.For a while, both of them were speechless, which was very embarrassing.Xiao Ran knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then backed away.The queen opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, she could only silently watch his back disappear into the doorway, and the tears she had finally held back poured out again.

With lowered eyebrows and a long sigh, sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze, Xiao Ran's figure vaguely appeared on the bronze mirror.In a daze, I reached out to touch it, but the figure disappeared like a cloud of smoke.

"The forest flower has thanked the spring red,

too hasty

Helpless morning, cold rain and late wind.

Rouge tears,

Stay drunk,

when heavy,

Naturally, people grow up and hate water and grow east..."

Vaguely recalling this favorite poem of Li Ran's, and reciting it lightly, thousands of thoughts flooded into his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he was already sobbing.

"Little Sanzi, I'm sorry. I know you will hate me, hate me for being unfeeling, hate me for being hard-hearted. But, I...

"The emperor was killed by me. If it wasn't for me, he would never have left in a hurry. I have been married to him for ten years, but in the end... I am sorry for him, and I am sorry for the ancestors of Aixinjueluo, and even more so. Sorry for the name Mother of Nations!

"The days with you are the happiest time in my life. I will never forget it, and I will never regret it. If there is an afterlife in life, I, I really want to spend it with you But in this life, we will never have the word fate again!

"In ancient times, life has one more dream. Who would laugh at me for dreaming? Little Sanzi, can you understand what I mean?..."

The figure on the bronze mirror reappeared again, and the queen couldn't help but reach out to wipe it off, but she couldn't wipe it off.Tears blurred his vision even more, "Oh, little Sanzi, do you really want to torture me like this for the rest of my life?...En?"

this shadow...

A pair of big hands rested on the queen's shoulders.The queen trembled all over, turned her head suddenly, and saw Xiao Ran's bright and deep eyes.

"Little Sanzi, you, I..."

"Now, I don't believe anything you say. I only remember one sentence: If I don't die, I will love you with my whole life."

→Chapter 066 - Hongmen Banquet←

Before and after dinner, Xiao Ran went to Yuanzhang Pavilion.The white powder that Baolu left for Concubine Yi should be used up by now, so I just sent some to her.Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony is a big event. At this time, she needs to nourish her energy and not run out of food.

It was a coincidence that Xiao Ran went, the elder brother Zai Chun was also there, talking to Concubine Yi.Seeing Xiao Ran this time, he didn't clamor for him to play with him as usual.Instead, he drooped his head.Look at this appearance, nine out of ten are reprimanded.Xiao Ran found a chance to hand over a small bag of white powder to Concubine Yi, and without waiting too long, he left the Xianzhang Pavilion and went all the way to Qiyue Xiaozhu, wanting to find out about Liu Deliang's situation.Just walking to the corner of the palace wall, a figure flashed out and said in a low voice: "Eunuch Xiao stay!"

Xiao Ran knew that someone would come to him, so he was not surprised, and said, "What's the matter?"

The flickering light from the corner of the eaves shone on the man, who was wearing an ordinary eunuch uniform and a straw hat, the brim of the hat covered most of his face, only his long chin was exposed.With a slight salute, he said, "Prince Yi and Prince Zheng are invited!"

"En? There are only two princes, hasn't Su Zhongtang figured it out yet?"

"This... you will know when you go."

The man turned around and left, Xiao Ran followed all the way, bypassing Ming Wu Xuande and Ziying Hall, and walked out of the palace through the west corner gate.There was a small sedan chair parked outside the door, Xiao Ran got on the sedan chair and ran towards South Street.

It turned out to be going to Sushun's residence!A sneer could not help but appear on the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth.

Sure enough, after a while, the sedan chair came to Su's mansion and called to open the gate.directly carried in.He walked around the inner courtyard before resting in the sedan chair, one person lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with his own hands, and greeted Xiao Ran down, but it was the Imperial College Jijiu Lan Qingzhuo.

"Brother Xiao, it's been a long time! The last time you left, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't see you off, but I'm back today, and I will welcome you no matter what!"

"Brother Lan, you are being polite. Time is too tight this time. When I was in the capital, I wanted to visit my sister-in-law and young master at the mansion, but unfortunately I didn't take care of it. I can't say anything next time without this courtesy." !"

Lan Qingzhuo's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "The two princes are waiting inside, please hurry up!"

The yard was unusually quiet.The rockery, wood and stone are dormant in the darkness, like monsters waiting to devour people.Xiao Ran sneered, and followed Lan Qingzhuo into the house.A table of sumptuous food and wine has been prepared inside, Zai Yuan and Duan Hua are sitting on the southeast side, with gloomy expressions on their faces.

Xiao Ran glanced at it, and said with a smile: "I heard that two princes invited their slaves to come here today. It's really a wrong love. The slaves are humble? How can they afford it? It's just that if they don't come, they will lose the face of the two princes. , I have no choice but to bite the bullet and fill the table. But..." Xiao Ran paused, curled his lips and said: "The rules of treating guests. The two princes don't seem to understand it very well!"

Zai Yuan frowned and said, "What rules?"

"Whenever a guest is invited, how can the host not greet him in person? Even if he stands up and makes a gesture of bowing, it is always necessary. Like the two princes who hold their faces and keep silent, you call me How can I eat this meal?"

It was the first time Lan Qingzhuo heard an eunuch dare to talk to the prince like that, and his face turned pale for a moment.Duan Hua furrowed his eyebrows upside down.As soon as you slap the table, you will start cursing.Zai hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and shook his head slightly.Lan Qingzhuo accompanied her with a smile and said: "Brother Xiao, please give me some noodles, please sit down, please sit down!"

"That's impossible!" Xiao Ran said solemnly, "There must be a rule for treating guests, isn't it? It's agreed on where the prince will treat guests, and you come and invite me to sit. What kind of business is it?"

Zaiyuan stood up, and said with a sneer, "Grandpa Xiao is such a pomp! Well, I will bow to you today, I don't know if you can bear it!" After finishing speaking, he stood up.He raised his hand and made a bow.

Xiao Ran hastily said: "I can bear it, I can bear it! The prince is giving face so much, and the slaves can't help but know what is good or bad! Ah, that Prince Yi doesn't need to be polite." He sat down on the chair with a charming smile, and looked at Duanhua , Said: "If you don't invite me, don't talk to me for a while, and say that I don't care about you."

Duanhua couldn't hold back, he roared: "You son of a bitch!" He picked up the jug and was about to swing it over.Zai and Lan Qingzhuo hurriedly hugged their arms, trying to persuade them.Xiao Ran smiled and said: "Maybe it's okay! If the prince is really angry, it's okay to scold me a few words. Your gang of concubines are still in my hands, so I will scold them back at worst. Well, Fengzhuchenxianghua is gone , Tired of combing your hair day and night. Huachenxiang, isn’t that a good name!”

Hua Chenxiang is Duanhua's favorite concubine, seeing that it has fallen into his hands, Duanhua is so angry that his lungs will explode, but there is nothing he can do.Zaiyuan said in a deep voice: "Once you succeed, you don't need to be so proud. You said that 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, can deputy director Xiao guarantee that he will not capsize for the rest of his life?"

"Being a monk for a day hits the clock for a day! In this life, no one can keep a mouthful of food and choke to death. Let it go, why do you think so long-term, isn't it a prince?"

Zaiyuan snorted, and said: "There is no need to talk nonsense. Let me ask you: Are these family members in the hands of Lao Liu now? If you think that you can blackmail us with this method, Lao Liu will look down on people!" "

Xiao Ran poured a glass of wine, took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "That's right, the Zhongtang mansion is indeed full of fine wine!" Putting down the glass, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have such a good fortune with the sixth prince. Alas, say Don't be afraid of the prince's jokes, Xiao Ran hasn't even touched the door of Liu Ye's mansion

Zai Yuan was taken aback, thinking about the meaning of these words, Lan Qingzhuo whispered beside him: "You mean, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Gong?"

Xiao Ran let out a haha, and ate the food by himself.Zaiyuan frowned and said: "Except for the sixth child, I really can't think of anyone who can have such a skill! But let's not talk about the rest, I just ask you: How can you let someone go?"

Xiao Ran said: "Well, it's easy to say, but I'm afraid you won't be able to decide what to do. Su Zhongtang, I'm already here, you're still holding back, isn't it the way to welcome guests?"

A sneer came from behind him: "Sure enough, you are very brave. It seems that this impure fake eunuch is different from the other eunuchs!"

talking.A chubby old man came to the table, it was Nakado Sushun in the iron hat, his round face was so pale under the lamp that it was scary.Lan Qingzhuo hurriedly pulled over the chair, Su Shun snorted, and sat down opposite Xiao Ran.

"Uh, this. It seems that you all know everything, so I won't hide it from you." Xiao Ran straightened his face, his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the two princes, and finally fell on Su Shun said on his face, "It's okay to release people, the condition is that you release my people immediately, and you must return to Luan within a month!"

"Hui Luan?" Su Shun stared at Xiao Ran for a while.Suddenly he laughed, "Do you think I really care about those lives? What a big joke! Even if all my family members die, I will let you be buried first!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped the table, and dozens of guards rushed out from inside, behind the screen, and at the door, armed with knives and shotguns, all aiming at Xiao Ran.Sushun sneered and said: "Do you really think that you can blackmail me with these hostages? It's just a dream! To tell you the truth, I asked you to come today because I want to know the details of Prince Gong. If you want to die quickly, just Say it as soon as possible. Otherwise, hum!"

Zaiyuan and Duanhua were taken aback when they heard this, and said, "Sixth brother, are you crazy? You don't want a son. Our two brothers are a family of more than ten! Sixth brother, you promised us personally Brothers..."

Sushun sneered and said: "Sometimes what I promised will change. Who told me to change my mind again? You two brothers don't need to say any more. I'm here today, and I won't give it to anyone!"

Zaiyuan Duanhua still wanted to speak, but Sushun frowned, and pointed a few shotguns at him, which made the two of them break out in a cold sweat.His face was flushed, and he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"How is it, brother Xiao, is my meal okay?" Sushun said triumphantly.

"Well, it's alright. It's just that the taste of Bazhen chicken is a little bit bad. The taste of shark's fin is good, I like it!"
