It was night, pitch black with no stars, no bright moon, only cold wind blowing over Luoyang.

Mu Neng rushed to the gate of Luoyang with a few entourages, holding the token of the Nine Kings' Mansion, and shouted under the tower: "Mu Neng hastened back to Luoyang according to His Majesty's order, and I hope to open the gate and let him go."

The guards at the city gates of the capital must be wine bags and rice bags. Mu Neng shouted, but no one dared to respond. After a long while, a general held a torch and poked his head at the city gate: "The one who came is really the Ninth Prince?"

"Bullshit doesn't make any sense, I'm not the Ninth Prince, you are the Ninth Prince? Hurry up and open the door." Mu Neng was impatient, shouting loudly, and it was clearly transmitted to the sky above the city gate.

The gatekeeper tonight is Lu Kan, who was appointed by the new emperor himself. He dare not make up his mind. It is well known that His Majesty summoned Mu Neng back. If no one is allowed to come in, Mu Neng will definitely make trouble tomorrow morning.

If he let people in, he was afraid of trouble, so he stared at the open space in front of Luoyang city gate, there was no one there, only three or five people on the tower, he couldn't help hesitating.

Mu Neng at the bottom couldn't wait for a response, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "Are you deaf? This king came back according to His Majesty's order, and he didn't rest day and night, so you shut him out? You can't be the master, so go ask Can Your Majesty let me into the city, you want to freeze me to death in the middle of the night."

Mu Neng has always been unreasonable. Everyone knows that Lu Kan has seen him argue with Su Changlan, and he has beaten the new emperor in the court. He is indeed a powerful character who is not afraid of death.

It was pitch black in the distance, and the wind passed by and felt a bit piercing. After being suspicious for a while, he looked under the city gate again, and there would be nothing wrong with just three or five people.There are tens of thousands of guards at the city gate, and I am afraid that these few people will make people laugh.

He smiled and shouted towards Mu Neng who was below: "Wait a minute, my lord, I will open the door for you right away, don't worry."

To show his sincerity, he brought dozens of people down to open the door in person.

After opening the city gate, the guards went first, and Lu Kan slowly moved behind, waiting for Mu Neng to enter the gate before the two met.Mu Neng was irritable, immediately turned his face away, and punched him: "How long have you been blind, I have been shouting for half an hour before you open the door, dog."

Mu Neng disrupted the order at the city gate with one punch, Lu Kan was accidentally beaten to the ground, and the guards who followed him drew their swords at him.

Clearly outnumbered, Mu Neng showed no fear at all, instead he brushed the dust off his robe, pointed at Lu Kan and scolded: "You were not born when I followed the late emperor, and now you have not learned anything, so you come here It’s embarrassing for this king, because you really don’t have eyes. Since you don’t have eyes, it’s useless to ask for them, why don’t you just blind your dog’s eyes and let you go home and farm.”

After all, he rolled up his sleeves and continued to fight, brushed away those guards, and went to catch Lu Kan who was hiding behind them: "Don't hide, come out and challenge me one-on-one, I will give you ten moves."

Lu Kan didn't expect Mu Neng to be so unreasonable, and he didn't even dare to show his face at the moment, he hid behind the people and shouted: "Ninth Prince, don't be unreasonable, the city gate will be closed as soon as the time passes, and this official has violated the rules The door is opened for you, why do you still hit someone, you, if you withdraw your hand again, I will sue you in front of His Majesty."

The two circled around several guards, Mu Neng yelled and cursed so loudly that he could even see clearly from the top of the city tower, the soldiers above were a little distracted, and the shadows in the night slowly approached the city gate.

Several gloomy wind sounds crossed the night, someone came back to his senses, and just about to open his mouth, an arrow hit his throat, and immediately fell down without a sound.

Arrows shot over like a rainstorm, and there were more city gates. Lu Kan saw his brother fell in front of him, and realized something was wrong, and shouted loudly: "Close the gate, close the gate, there are thieves."

He was about to close the door, but Mu Neng approached quickly, drew his knife and passed behind him, Lu Kan fell down in response, staring at Mu Neng.

Mu Neng had killed an unknown number of people on the battlefield, and he was not afraid of being alone. He stepped on his body and opened the city gate. The black soldiers rushed in and went directly to the palace.

The city gate was lost for a moment, and Mu Neng led his people to stay behind to deal with the aftermath. During the period, there were still rebels, so they would be killed.He is a king with a different surname, and he has some prestige. The guards at the city gate are the new emperor's people, but the thousands of guards are not. They stopped resisting after seeing the banner of His Highness Xinyang.

After the time passed, Mu Neng led someone to knock on the door of the princess mansion, and brought Mu Liang into the palace.

They were two hours late, corpses were everywhere outside Donghua Gate, soldiers from Xinyang were cleaning the battlefield, their feet were covered with sticky blood, and the smell in the air made people feel sick.

Mu Neng took it for granted, grabbed a horse and drove Mu Liang to Zichen Hall.

The Donghua Gate was broken, and the Zichen Palace must be coming soon, so he asked Mu Liang to find Lin Ran, and went to Ci'an Palace to welcome the Queen Mother out.Xinyang and Chen Zhichen, who is the conspiracy, only the Queen Mother can decide.

The outside of the Zichen Palace was still not broken, Xinyang was outside, and the soldiers were not allowed to attack by force, waiting for Chen Zhichen to come out by himself, after all, if the fight continued, the soldiers and horses of the court would be injured.

Mu Neng glanced left and right, and didn't urge her, just said: "Where did you leave the child?"

"I left her in the bamboo grove and five hundred soldiers, and Xuanyi went to pick her up." Xinyang said bluntly, under his dim eyesight, his brows and eyes froze, and there were a few smears of blood on his cheeks, which did not match her delicate complexion.

After standing for a while, she urged Mu Neng, "You go to Lin Ran."

"Ah Liang went to look for it. You are in a hurry. She is smarter than you. She is probably hiding at this time." Mu Neng didn't care. When he came, Mu Liang had already said that Wang Jian belonged to her. In reality, she must be protected.

When the sky was clear, the Empress Dowager came over in a royal chariot, Xin Yang didn't want to see her, so he turned around and left, looking for Lin Ran.

She quickly attacked the city and forced the palace for the sake of Lin Ran's safety, now that Luoyang is in her hands, there is no need to be afraid.She walked away, but Mu Neng stopped her: "You go, whoever is in charge of the overall situation, I'll find Lin Ran for you."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly led the people away, Xinyang saluted the Queen Mother with a cold face, and when he looked up, he found that she hadn't seen her for two years, she was much older, and the white hair on the temples was as white as snow, completely white.

She turned around and left, and let people attack directly. The Zichen Palace is not a strong city gate, and a strong attack is also a time for a cup of tea. After the gate was opened, she walked in with big strides, and the palace servants helped the queen mother into it.

The empress dowager was honored, sitting on the throne, the new emperor's face was ashen, and he was in a state of distress. There were many servants and palace people lying around in the hall.Xinyang waved his hand, and someone moved the corpse away.

The jealous eyes of the new emperor were obvious, she didn't move for a moment, she just had him taken down, took off the dragon robe on her body in front of all the soldiers, and threw it aside casually, her eyes were full of indelible coldness.

The empress dowager sat in the upper seat, feeling at ease. Looking at Chen Zhichen who was suppressed by others, she didn't feel distressed, only endless joy. Holding the dragon carved on the throne, she slowly regained her former dignity.

She felt good, but she never thought about the attitude of the soldiers in the palace, so she raised her hand and said: "Press down first."

The soldiers in the hall didn't move, she suddenly panicked, thinking they hadn't heard, she raised her voice: "Put it down, can't you hear my order?"

Still no one moved.

Chen Zhichen laughed wildly: "Did you see it? Whose soldier is this? This is Chen Zhiyi's soldier. They only serve their Highness Xinyang. What are you?"

"Nizi, Nizi..." The Empress Dowager was so angry that her whole body trembled, she smashed all the memorials on the desk, smashed a book and called out Nizi, her voice was hoarse, and her movements were like a madman.

Chen Zhichen was still laughing, like a lunatic on the street, Xinyang couldn't stand it anymore, walked over and kicked him in the chest: "Shut up, say one more word, I'll break your leg."

"Xinyang, do you think you've won?" The kicked man lay on the ground, clutching his chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was ashen, he was still laughing: "Lin Ran is gone..."

He only thought that he was intercepted by people from Xinyang, but he didn't see her when he broke through the palace gate today, how could she not be here at such an urgent moment?

There may be only one reason, that is, an accident happened, and the person who cut her out of Zhao Prison was not Xinyang, but their enemy.

People who also hate Xinyang and Lin Ran...

As soon as he said it, Xinyang seemed to be in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and her whole body was so cold that she shivered slightly. After gritting her teeth, she stepped forward and lifted him up: "How about Lin Ran, I asked you to come to Pingwang's mansion to accompany him. , you have more than a dozen children under your knees, I will let you see with your own eyes how they were executed by Ling Chi, cut off their flesh one by one, and sent them to you."

The monstrous hatred rushed to her mind, and she didn't want to take into account the relationship between her siblings. After throwing her down, she ordered: "Send him to Zhao Prison, and ask Lin Ran's whereabouts. Kill a prince under his knee every day."

"Xinyang..." The empress dowager on the throne trembled and stood up in fright, with a grim expression on her face, "You are too cruel..."

What did Xinyang do, how is it different from the devil?

Xinyang sneered a few times, the disgust in his eyes was undisguised, the saber in his hand came out of its sheath, and landed on Chen Zhichen's shoulder, with the blade pointing down, cutting a bloodstain, and said slowly: "It's better to burn the whole building with a fire." Palace, come more quickly."

The Empress Dowager dared not speak, the soldiers in the palace listened to Xinyang, even if she resisted, it was useless, she kept her mouth shut and kept silent.

Chen Zhichen was in so much pain that he couldn't laugh out loud, his shoulders and his entire arm seemed to be numb, he was not in good health, and being tortured by her like this, he wished he could pass out from the pain.

If he didn't make a sound, Xinyang would not withdraw the knife: "Even if I kill you today, no one would dare to say anything wrong with me."

"You..." Chen Zhichen was sweating profusely from the pain. He is not a person like Xinyang who has been fighting all the year round. He couldn't stand the pain. After panting for a few words, he opened his mouth: "I don't know, she was intercepted in Zhao Prison , and lost track.”

Xinyang let go of him, and ordered as usual: "Throw it to Zhao Prison and save your life. In addition, call all officials to discuss matters."

After all, she didn't care anymore, and took someone to find Lin Ran.

****

The people in Luoyang City were in a state of panic. Dongfang was just exposed, and no people came out. Even those courtiers who were powerless did not dare to show their faces, and were guarded by the soldiers in the mansion.

With the order of the Queen Mother, Jin Wuwei went into the mansion one by one to arrest people, the guilty ones were taken directly, and the innocent ones went to the Zichen Palace to court.

Mu Neng has never returned to the house. There is a person sitting against the corner outside the side door. His thin clothes look very cold in the autumn wind. When the doorman at the side door saw her, he felt a little familiar, so he couldn't make a sound.

After a long time, the man stood up, leaned on the wall and walked over, with a haggard face, and smiled vainly: "Speak to the princess, just say that Lin Ran saw her."

She could barely walk, only the palace was the closest, and knocked on the side door in desperation, hoping that the princess could take her in for half a day.

There has been a change in Luoyang City, and she doesn't know who won, she has no time to ask, the only thing she can do is to meet Ah Liang.Leaning against the wall and panting deeply, she was tired and hurt, and couldn't tell how many days she had passed.

While hesitating, she sat on the cold floor again, her eyes drifted, the darkness intertwined with the scene in front of her, she tried to open her eyes wide, not daring to fall asleep, and she was afraid that she would not see Ah Liang.

She waited for a long time, shivering in the cold wind, but she didn't wait for Wei Shi to come over.She struggled to breathe, and when she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder, and then overwhelming pain hit her whole body.

This scene is very similar to that in Zhao Prison, where punishments are executed regardless of right and wrong.

It seemed as if he was back in Zhaojuan again, but the breathing from the tip of his nose was different from Zhaojuan, and the pain on his back was almost numb, like a heavy weight.

Limbs were not bound, and he was unable to fight back. If he had known that he would be beaten up, he shouldn't have come to the palace for help.

She was thinking weakly, and suddenly remembered a sentence A Liang said to her: Don't use your brain, you will become stupid.

Those words flooded into her mind, she covered her head with her hands, she couldn't become a fool...

When the pain made it difficult to breathe, those people stopped, and there were small footsteps in their ears, maybe they were beaten away, and pain can also give people motivation. I don’t know where the strength came from. They got up and trotted away. He didn't care about what was behind him.

When I got out of the alley, my eyes were spinning, my legs were numb for a while, I couldn't move my feet anymore, I took a big breath, and even my heart and lungs hurt.

After the pain, she couldn't walk anymore. She looked at the road without people, lost her direction, leaned against the corner of the wall like a top-heavy person, opened her eyes and tried her best to think about which mansion was the closest to here.

After thinking for a while, I remembered that Princess Xinyang's mansion should be the closest, but it took me half an hour to walk, and I couldn't get past it... When I was drowsy, A Liang's appearance appeared in my mind.

Laughing like a day for more than ten years makes people feel like a spring breeze and warms their hearts.

"Ah Liang..." A low cry escaped from the corner of her lips, Lin Ran smiled, and walked forward in small steps, her limbs were weak, and many people on the official road rode their horses, so she didn't dare to ask for advice.

The Wei family can see that death is beyond help, how can others dare to believe it, and it may cause another beating.Touching the stick wound on her shoulder, she struggled to move forward, and when she walked out of the range of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she let out a foul breath.

At some point, a horse stopped beside her, and she looked over nervously. There was a white mist in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see who was coming. She called out vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

"Little aunt?" Xie Xing frowned, as if he couldn't believe that the disheveled person in front of him was Lin Ran, and called out in disbelief.

Lin Ran couldn't see the person clearly, but he could hear his voice. He was holding his breath in his chest, unable to vomit it out, and didn't hold on any longer. He closed his eyes and fell down.

****

The four gates in Luoyang City are closed, and the Donghua Gate is guarded by Wang Jian. No entry is allowed without the order of the Empress Dowager. The empress and other concubines are all confined in the cold palace.

Qin Wan showed up after the city gate was breached, and was invited into the Zichen Palace, Xinyang did not stop her, the entire city was in her hands, and Qin Wan could not overcome the storm.

Only Lin Ran was missing, the city of Luoyang was turned upside down, and the Jinwu Guards searched everywhere, but they didn't dig three feet of ground.

After Xinyang's army cleaned up the battlefield, they withdrew from Luoyang City and set up camp ten miles outside the city.

Changle came back from outside the city, and after seeing tens of thousands of soldiers, the ambition in his heart suddenly calmed down. Now the trend of Xinyang is unstoppable, and even the queen mother is afraid that she will be restrained by her.

The Jiangnan army withdrew from Luoyang City, and the Beiya Army and Jinwuwei were still under martial law in the city.The Jinwu Guards were originally the emperor's personal soldiers, and now they are wandering around the outer city, which makes people feel even more uneasy.

Qin Wan asked to withdraw the Jinwu Guard, but the Queen Mother hesitated, Xinyang mercilessly refused, the officials dared not speak, and for a while, the situation in the court was clear.

The Su family is the empress dowager, after all, it will take a lot of work if she wants to become the emperor again. After this incident, the descendants of the former emperor withered, leaving only Xinyang and Changle.

The gap between the two is not just a little bit.

One is a great general with illustrious military exploits. He has fought for many years, conquering borders and guarding rivers and mountains.

One person has no meritorious service in the court, gossips and teases, gets drunk in the wealthy family, and sings and dances.

The hearts of the courtiers have begun to favor Xinyang's side. Just looking at the strength of the two, it must be Xinyang, but the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Xinyang has always been at odds, and apart from the grievances of the Luo family, this contest is also unknown.

Mu Neng watched coldly and ignored it. Qin Wan was originally the queen mother's confidant, and her words represented the queen mother's meaning.He didn't say a word, but the six kings spoke up: "The Jinwu Guard should protect the emperor's safety, but there is no emperor in the court. Once the protection is said, there will be no real thing. It is a good thing to appease the people outside."

Qin Wan looked back at the old fox who had spoken, "Is the sixth prince trying to persuade the queen mother to appoint the throne early?"

"I don't have such a heart." The six kings frowned and retreated embarrassingly.

Xinyang looked at Master Qin, who was about to get angry, and bent his lips into a smile, playfully: "It's fine to be transferred back to the Jinwu Guard, but it's better to let [-] soldiers from outside the city do it, let them enter the city, and Lord Qin will feel at ease."

"When they enter the city, it will even cause the people to panic. What is His Highness Xinyang's mind?" Qin Wan replied with a clear and solemn look, which was very different from the past.

In terms of eloquence, Xinyang couldn't compare to Lin Ran, let alone Qin Wan. She was speechless for a while, but Chang Le said, "Jin Wuwei has nothing to do right now, and there is no leader. It's better to choose a leader first, and leave a group of people outside to appease you." The common people, pursue the rebellious party, and the rest return to the palace to protect the queen mother."

Only then did the Queen Mother respond: "That's fine, let's do it this way. As for the Jinwu Guard commander..." She paused, Fan Kui died, and the rest of the people were not capable enough, and they didn't know who should be in charge.

Essentially ability comes first, but she is in deep trouble, who is more loyal to her is more important.

"Wang Jian is the only deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard. He has done a great job in helping the minister save the queen mother. He is the best candidate at the moment." Xinyang's tone was blunt, and he looked up at the queen mother without looking at Qin Wan's expression. .

The rest of the civil servants and military generals in the court kept their mouths shut. They were originally neutral, but the current trend of Xinyang was aggressive, and the Queen Mother obviously couldn't stand it.

The position of the commander of the Jinwu Guard involves many things. If the new emperor does not lose Fan Kui, he will not be isolated and helpless, so he gave Xinyang a chance.

Everyone was silent, even Qin Wan didn't make a sound, the queen mother was pondering, she was swaying from side to side, and the grayness in her eyes came to her eyes again, "Jin Wuwei will be temporarily led by Wang Jian, and we will discuss it later."

She used a strategy of delay, but she still didn't give up. Qin Wan felt relieved. The officials couldn't tell what was on her mind. What happened now was that Luoyang was in the hands of Xinyang. The queen mother was uneasy and didn't want to be controlled by her. people.

The court meeting lasted until noon, and the legs and feet of the officials were numb, and there was still no sign of ending.They were arrested by the Jinwu Guards early in the morning. Seeing their colleagues being arrested, they felt very tormented, and experienced a power struggle. They wished they could go home and cry bitterly with their wives and children in their arms.

The atmosphere in the Zichen Palace was icy cold, Xie Xing, who ran into Lin Ran outside the palace, turned around in a hurry, he suddenly passed out, and she was so frightened that she was at a loss what to do, she wanted to send him to the nearest Nine Princes' Mansion, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time.

Gritting his teeth, he sent him to Princess Xinyang's mansion.

The princess mansion was full of people in Xuanyi, and when they saw Patriarch Lin suddenly, they hurriedly greeted them in, Xie Xing sent them to the backyard, Xuanyi sent people to invite the doctor, and left him to ask about his experience.

Xie Xing was at a loss, and answered truthfully: "I, I met Patriarch Lin outside the gate of the Nine Kings Mansion, and she fainted without saying a word. I, I don't know where she came from."

He panicked, his face flushed red with anxiety, Xuanyi didn't ask any more questions, and sent someone to the princess mansion to invite Mu Liang, while he was guarding Lin Ran.

After Xie Xing left, a white mink popped out from the corridor, and then a child came unsteadily. Xuanyi got Xinyang's order, not daring to take him out of his sight, so he stretched out his hand and brought him into the room. in the room.

Afterwards, the white marten also got into the house, saw the person who was climbing on the couch and was about to get off, walked over, and grabbed her ankle with his claws.A person who was already weak was dragged by it, like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The child fell on his back.

Press on the white mink.

The white sable screamed, Xuanyi heard the sound, looked at the uneasy person and the sable, approached and picked them up, put them on the couch, and replaced them with maidservants.

The person on the couch was exhausted and drowsy. She heard the baby's crying and heavy footsteps in her ears. She subconsciously wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them.She dazedly grasped the quilt under her body, trying hard to open her eyes to see where she was.

As soon as I moved my hand, I felt pain all over my body, and I couldn't tell which part was more painful.

The pain makes people wake up, she can't fall asleep, she can only close her eyes and listen to the voices around her: "The injury is not clear, the heart and lungs are hurt..."

Who broke the heart and lungs?

Confused, she heard a slightly familiar voice: "You save it first, and the rest will be discussed when His Royal Highness and Princess come...you can't eat..."

There was another exclamation, and the sound became even louder. After numbness from the pain, he finally fell asleep.

After sleeping in a daze for a long time, when the Lingtai woke up, there was no sound in her ears. She tried to open her eyes, and heard a low and deep voice, followed the sound, and there was a child sitting on the inner side of the couch, holding a small Apple, most of the voice just now came from her.

She could tell that the child lowered his head and gnawed hard. He must have liked apples very much. After watching for a while, she slowly asked, "Are the apples delicious?"

Lin Ran's voice was extremely hoarse, which would attract attention, but after waiting for a while, no one responded.

There was no one in the room, she sat up on her own, gasped for air in pain, her chest and lungs were involved, and the world was spinning again, she tried to calm herself, approached the child, and snatched the apple from her hand: " Whose family do you belong to? What are you doing sitting on my bed?"

The author has something to say: I have nothing to say, you say it! ! !
