Following Lin Ran's method, Mu Neng found the portrait of the former Qi old emperor, found a woman who was three times like him in appearance, and then provided enough manpower and gold and silver, and Zhao Fuyun was hooked.
After the state government caught him, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly sent him to Beijing for work.
Mu Neng personally went to pick up the man outside the city. He wanted to beat him up to vent his anger, but when he saw it was a woman, he withdrew his kicked feet and sent him back to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice holding his breath.
Lin Ran once compared Zhao Fuyun to a poison. Mu Liang always remembered this matter. Besides, she obviously didn't remember it when she heard it from Lin Ran. She asked curiously, "Why is it a poison? Is she beautiful?"
"Beauty is beauty, and it is a bit more charming than ordinary women." Mu Liang explained, she was only Zhao Fuyun's publicity, and she had never felt the charm.
Lin Ran is different, she is young and full of vigor, if others use any means to her, she may be easily seduced.However, she only focused on Mu Liang, and no one else would look down on her, wasting Zhao Fuyun's thoughts in vain.
Time passed, and Lin Ran still didn't have any thoughts when he heard about it again. At first, he felt like he had seen a ghost and wanted to escape, but now there was no disturbance.
She didn't care much about people, she was still thinking about the affairs of the court, she said: "Ah Liang, Zhao Fuyun should have a party member in the court, let the Ministry of punishment have a trial."
The first trial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice is about to carry out the sentence. Mu Liang knew what she meant, so he restrained himself from joking, "Don't you think it's strange that she knows our whereabouts to Jiangnan?"
"By the way, I'll call the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. Is there anything else?" Lin Ran asked. She couldn't remember the past, and her impression of Zhao Fuyun was blank. She could only find out by asking Mu Liang.
"No more." Mu Liang said.
Lin Ran then got up, and ordered his servants to invite the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and personally instructed him that punishment can be used, and that it is enough not to beat people to death.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment understood, and after taking the order, he led the people to the Ministry of Punishment.
The remnants of the former Qi Dynasty are very involved, and Zhao Fuyun has no clear connection with the deposed emperor, so there is no guarantee that her influence will not infiltrate the court.Lin Ran couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, since he found someone, he had to investigate.
Interrogation is nothing more than torture, and there is no distinction between men and women in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You can only use words, and any punishment will be used.
After half a month of trial, Zhao Fuyun wanted to see the new crown prince.
It just so happened that Lin Ran was having lunch. During the transition season between autumn and winter, it was hot and cold. Yesterday the sun was so bright that it was so hot that people wore unlined clothing, but today there was a cloudy wind.Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment stood at the gate of the hall, his robes fluttered by the wind, and the coldness penetrated into the bone marrow.
Lin Ran stared blankly at the table full of dishes, and refused Zhao Fuyun's request, saying: "If she refuses to speak again, she will be sent to Zhao Prison, there are many ways."
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment left tremblingly, but Mu Liang saw her showing a sinister look, but did not speak.
After finishing her lunch, she said: "About half a month, Princess Changle's car will enter Luoyang City."
The first emperor had many heirs, and only two daughters survived until now. The emperor is the winner, and Changle is not considered defeated, it is just struggling.
Lin Ran thought for a while, saw that there were no palace people in the palace, and did not lie to Mu Liang, and said frankly: "Before leaving, Your Majesty lost the imperial decree to me and asked me to kill her directly."
She spoke calmly, but Mu Liang looked at her in shock.
Lin Ran said: "I'm just following His Majesty's will. If she stays calm, she can have fun in Luoyang City. I'm afraid she won't be reconciled."
Changle's mind is not shallow, but it's just a layer of pleasure-seeking skin.Recently, Lin Ran read some classics that recorded her affairs, and heard about the affairs between Qin Wan and her, so she didn't think she was a law-abiding person.
"Ah Liang, if she comes back and talks to you, be careful what you say, don't let her get too close."
She was on guard, and she hadn't reached the place where she wanted to kill. Mu Liang knew that she was not a vicious person. Thinking of her illness, she couldn't help worrying: "When you see her, just a few words will reveal your truth."
"She may not be ignorant of what Qin Wan did. Now that I am in charge of the country, I don't have time to meet her often." Lin Ran didn't think there was anything terrible about Chang Le, even if his thoughts were as ups and downs as Qin Wan's, she was still captured by her.
Big deal, repeat the old trick.
She was quite confident and would not be disturbed by her feelings, so Mu Liang didn't say anything, and ordered someone to make arrangements.
The old things in the court have been quite peaceful these days, and Lin Ran is not as benevolent as the emperor, picking bones from eggs a few times, and intimidating them with military force, they have gained a lot of quiet time.
Doctor Cui drank a lot of medicine, but the medicine had little effect, and the headache was relieved a lot, which can be regarded as a great improvement.
At the beginning of winter, Zhong Shuling fell ill. As he got old, his health deteriorated. After so many years of hard work, he managed to get Zhong Shuling's position.
Although he is pedantic, Lin Ran also learned a lot of knowledge from him, knowing the publicity of civil servants, and benefited a lot from the court.
In order to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers, Lin Ran chose a day to visit the mansion.
She hadn't left the palace for a long time, so she wanted to take Mu Liang out of the palace along the way.Mu Liang was too lazy to move, especially when Zhiwei was arguing for grandma these days. She coaxed her for a long time, but she still couldn't coax her well.
When the emperor left, he didn't tell her that it was common for her not to see the emperor for a few days, but after a long time, she made noises every day, which made Mu Liang a headache, so she couldn't ignore it cruelly, so she had to coax her every day.
Seeing this, Lin Ran searched for some small gadgets for her, not knowing that she didn't like them anymore.Mu Liang is very patient, and she is helpless with such a child.
Mu Liang didn't want to go out of the palace, so Lin Ran had no choice but to lead the Jin Wuwei to Jiangfu by himself.
It was the first time for Lin Ran to go out of the palace as a prince. There were Jinwu guards in front of the car and behind the horses. The guard of honor was quite large. When she arrived at Jiangfu, there were already several people standing outside the door, and she went to see Zhongshu Ling.
Entering the house, she saw Jiang Ning Hou in the porch, her eyes trembled, and she quickly looked away, even ignoring Jiang Ning's salute.
Fortunately, there were so many people, Jiang Ning didn't care about it, she served her grandfather's decoction and couldn't leave the couch, so she followed Lin Ran in.
There were so many people in the room that it was not suitable for the sick to recuperate, so Jiang Ning sent them out and stood outside, waiting for his grandfather to call him.Today she is plain and clean, wearing a small shirt and long skirt, slim and graceful, with a delicate appearance.
Zhong Shuling raised several sons, but they didn't achieve much. Only this granddaughter was quick-witted. When he opened his eyes, he saw her granddaughter standing beside him, beckoning her to come and serve tea.
Lin Ran didn't look sideways, and said words of consolation and recuperation, he paused when Jiang Ning brought the tea, and said, "Zhongshu ordered Haosheng to recuperate, the weather is bad in winter, and illness is common."
The words were polite, and Zhong Shuling never cared about them, and said instead: "Compared with Your Majesty, His Highness is more suitable for the court, and now everyone in the court is uneasy, His Highness's heart must be reform. Timing. His Highness is impatient, and it will not be too late to wait for His Majesty to sit firmly in court."
Internal and external troubles should be eliminated first, and after the Turks are stabilized, they will free up their hands to diagnose and treat the court. This is an act of stability.
Zhong Shuling's eyes were clouded, and there was a cloud of blue under his eyes, and when he looked at people, he was also cloudy, and the reason was very simple, if you bear it, the emperor can bear it, and you, a little prince, should also bear it.
However, Lin Ran didn't want to bear it the most. Zhong Shuling was pedantic, and she knew more about the shocking principles of governing the people than her. Even the way of governing the world was better than ordinary people.She was not good at arguing with the patient, so she nodded in response.
He is able to win His Majesty's favor, and he has his own advantages, and he has gone through several dynasties, Lin Ran has not learned much from him, and he is just pretending to come here today.
She then said, "I understand the meaning of the Zhongshu Ling."
"His Royal Highness seems to be calm, but there is more tension, which can easily chill the hearts of the courtiers."
Lin Ran lowered her eyes, if it wasn't for the ministers always contradicting the emperor's will, she wouldn't be a villain, she wouldn't contradict Zhongshuling's words, after all, the two are not in the same position.Between the monarch and his ministers, it has always been the opposite.
After listening to some teachings, it was getting late, she got up and wanted to leave, Zhongshu ordered her to stay and said: "Your Highness is in the court hall, why don't you choose some children from good ministers to enter the palace."
Is this the idea of using the sons of civil servants as a pledge, or using the children selected into the palace to inquire about their family?
Lin Ran nodded and said, "The meaning of Zhongshu Ling, I'll go back and think about it."
Jiang Ning was still waiting at the side, bowing his head when Lin Ran passed by, Zhong Shuling sighed, and after she left, he called Jiang Ning: "This new prince has a good character, and he is not a heartless person. I know she is a beloved person, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to court. If she listens to my words, you must have a chance to enter the palace."
Even the emperor once praised Jiang Ning, so it can be seen that she has a great chance.
****
Lin Ran's mind was upright, he couldn't think of Zhongshuling's deep meaning, and he was still thinking about it when he returned to the palace.
There are also many handsome and outstanding people in Luoyang City, and if she chooses a smart person, she will also have her own connections when she enters the court in the future.The aristocratic family is deeply rooted, and it is also a way to make them obey.
It was getting dark early in early winter, Lin Ran was sitting alone in the hall, nothing serious happened today, after the emperor's personal conquest, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and there was a faint tendency to save the defeat.
Zhao Fuyun was thrown into Zhao Prison and locked up by her. If she can't ask him for a day, he will be locked up for a day. She is not afraid that she will not tell her.
She thought about Zhong Shuling's words in her mind and pondered for a long time. When Mu Liang entered the hall, she was still in the posture of entering the hall, not moving a bit.Mu Liang felt sorry for her, and said: "Why are you so out of your mind, seeing something sad outside the palace?"
"There is indeed one thing." She couldn't make up her mind, so she told her the meaning of Zhongshu Ling, and said: "Ah Liang, do you think this will work?"
Lin Ran didn't have any friends in Luoyang. In the past, she was disdained to associate with her because of her business background. After being recognized by His Majesty, her status was special, and no one dared to be friends with her.
After thinking about it, she is really in a bad situation. Zhongshu Ling's move was also for her sake. Mu Liang also knew the deepest meaning of this move, smiled and said, "Why are you hesitant?"
"I don't know if the children of the aristocratic families in Luoyang are good or bad. Naturally, we should be more cautious if this move involves the court." Lin Ran sullenly, hesitating rarely.
She hadn't noticed the deep meaning of Zhongshu Ling?Mu Liang was slightly startled, thinking of her character, she said: "I think it's okay, people entering the palace are under your control, and I'm afraid they won't succeed."
"That's the truth, but..." Lin Ran paused, and turned to look at Mu Liang: "You think it's okay?"
Mu Liang smiled slightly, still gentle, and a little more pampered than usual, "Why do you ask me about the court?"
"Shouldn't I discuss it with you?" Lin Ran was surprised, and was tickled by her smile, and leaned towards her unconsciously: "This move not only involves the court, but also has something to do with the East Palace."
She was a little anxious, as if she was ignorant of affection, unlike being married for many years, Mu Liang knew what she meant, and didn't mind saying: "Since you have guessed the meaning of Zhongshu Ling, why do you still ask me?"
"I have to ask you about important matters." Lin Ran was ashamed, her ears blushed, and she looked up at her again: "What do you think?"
"I think yes, Jiang Ning is really good." Mu Liang boasted, since she accepted the false title of concubine, she was doomed that Lin Ran is not hers alone, and Lin Ran's thoughts are all on her side, so she won't treat her badly she.
She said yes, but Lin Ran still hesitated, brushed his temple hair childishly, stood up, took two steps, turned back and said to her, "I'll ask my father-in-law."
She hurried out of the palace again, Mu Liang was worried about her, and reminded her: "It's getting dark, it's not too late to ask after tomorrow."
The person who stepped over the threshold paused again, smiled naively, and walked back into the hall: "That's right, are you hungry? I'm a little hungry."
After speaking, he rubbed his shoulders again. He just sat for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that she regained her composure, Mu Liang couldn't say anything, so she ordered the palace servants to prepare a meal for her to eat more.
When eating, it's not easy to mention other things. After she finished eating, she said: "Wang Jian came to report that Changle's car will enter the city tomorrow, and I want to go outside the city to meet him."
Leaving aside the affairs of the court, the relationship between her and Changle is not shallow, and it doesn't matter if you meet one or two.
"Welcome her for what?" Lin Ran was puzzled, forgetting the sister relationship between the two.
Mu Liang explained to her from the beginning, and then said: "The times are changing now, so it's better to be merciless. There will be nothing wrong tomorrow. I will leave the palace without a guard of honor, and no one will care. I am not going to welcome her as a princess. .”
"That's fine, I'll let Wang Jian send you off, just be careful." Lin Ran didn't refute, and immediately went to tell Wang Jian, caring about Mu Liang's affairs.
Mu Liang was moved in his heart, smiled lightly, and didn't say anything else.
After the court meeting the next day, Lin Ran really stayed with Mu Neng and asked about it.
Mu Neng is not stupid. As soon as Lin Ran said it, he remembered that the emperor had once praised Jiang Ning's horoscope.
He didn't know what to do for a while, listening to Lin Ran's father-in-law is not as good as the father-in-law, and said: "Your Highness thinks it is good, I will go to draw up a list for you."
Mu Neng's intentions are acceptable, Lin Ran nodded, "Don't make any noise about this matter, wait for the Zhongshu Order to report, you go back and think about candidates first."
She was extremely polite and alienated. Mu Neng couldn't get used to it and knew the difference between monarch and minister, so he took a deep breath and went back to the mansion.
The Eight Kings invited him to drink, but they were all rejected, so they turned to look for Lin Si and talked about it.
He felt uneasy, he always had to find someone to complain, he couldn't go to Mu Liang's place, so he had to find Lin Si.
Lin Si lived in the princess' mansion, saw him rushing in, knew something had happened, and asked someone to host a banquet, saying: "The prince is impatient, but for the sake of the princess, he should be called the princess."
"Zhongshu made that old man feel weird, what did he propose to choose children from aristocratic families to enter the palace..." Mu Neng paused, feeling that her proposal was right again, and felt depressed.
Before he finished speaking, Lin Si understood, nodded and said: "This move is feasible, and what the prince is worried about may not happen. Lin Ran upholds the nature of a sister, and will definitely not let the princess down."
"If you say you can't, then you won't?" Mu Neng didn't believe him, feeling really uncomfortable, he slapped the table again and said, "Now she's talking about her father-in-law, if she wasn't the prince, I would have beat someone up."
He has a bad temper, Lin Si understands, and came to him to complain about his depression, which shows that depression is difficult.Mu Neng had only one daughter, Mu Liang, who was separated when he was young, and then became the queen of Baoluo's family, so he had to let her be a pawn.
Lin Ranruo really felt sorry for Mu Liang, and Mu Neng was responsible for her misfortune, so he was naturally anxious.
Lin Si also understands his worries about being a father, but Lin Ran's status is unusual, powerful and beautiful, in an ordinary family, it is enough to make Mrs. Houzhai a 'scourge'.
He couldn't persuade him either, so he said: "My lord, don't worry, the two of them will always be fine."
Mu Neng couldn't listen at all, and drank a jar of wine after a while.
****
It was cold outside the city, the winter was chilling, and the wind was blowing. Mu Liang waited until noon before seeing the princess driving.
The hundreds of people on the official road are very conspicuous, shouting and embracing, full of momentum.When Mu Liang got into the car, Chang Le was dozing off, with a fair complexion, no different from when he left.
She opened her eyes, looked at Mu Liang, and curled her lips: "Ah Liang, congratulations."
"Congratulations, what did I do, but you, the tribute to His Majesty, is shocking." Mu Liang's expression remained the same, neither sad nor happy, nor angry, and he never showed his emotions at all.
The carriage is quite big, enough to accommodate six or seven people. Chang Le leaned on the soft pillow leisurely, "That gift belongs to sister Luo's family. It shouldn't be with me. After so many years, I forgot. When I returned to the fief, I packed my things , just find out."
Her expression was extremely calm, as if she had done a good thing casually, and no one could find fault with her.
Mu Liang thought of Lin Ran's words, and didn't talk too much. With the friendship of many years, she came to pick him up, it was the utmost benevolence.
After a few simple words, Mu Liang returned to the palace.
Lin Ran chose a day to hold a banquet in the East Palace to welcome Chang Le, and he never invited other people, they were all old Wang family members with different surnames.At that time, the eight kings and nine kings were respected, and it was common for the two to bicker and drink.
Chang Le approached Lin Ran, looking at her frequently.But Lin Ran didn't even look at her, Chang Le thought about it, and said: "I heard His Royal Highness captured Zhao Fuyun, the princess of the former Qi?"
"Indeed, I'm in Zhao Prison. Auntie wants to see you?" Lin Ran was stern, making the atmosphere cool down in an instant.
Since she returned to Luoyang, she is not as fond of laughing as she used to be. She often keeps a straight face, and her ministers are more in awe, which makes her former relatives and friends afraid to approach her. Only her confidants know that she does not remember the past, even now things, will forget.
Chang Le already felt that something was wrong, staring at her for a while, Mu Neng smoothed things over and said: "Caught in Jiangnan, interrogated for many days, but there is no result."
"Interrogation for many days?" Chang Le repeated, her red lips were moist, she sipped the wine, her smile was gorgeous, she looked at Lin Ran, and said with a clever smile: "Your heart is also cruel, for such a gentle The beauty is also successful, you used to praise her for being charming, it's like poison and medicine."
Lin Ran held the wine cup and shook it. Although he didn't know the past, these words sounded provocative, so he smiled, "The remnants of the former Qi, death is not a pity, the relationship between her and the deposed emperor is not clean, you have to ask Just ask."
Chang Le took a sip of his wine: "Why isn't it clean?"
Lin Ran pondered for a while, looked at Chang Le and smiled: "It's as unclean as little aunt and Qin Wan."
Everyone in the hall changed their expressions, but Chang Le only raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "It's really not clean, you should ask, lest there will be more children, and your Majesty's throne will not be secure, and if there is another battle against Qi, the one who will suffer is still people."
"I'm afraid a big war is impossible, and there may be many small troubles, such as collusion. Even the abolished emperor trusts this princess credulously, and the courtiers are even more confused. Little aunt, do you think it is right?"
The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, with thorns in their words, which made others dare not speak. Even the irritable Mu Neng chose to continue tasting wine with the Eight Kings, and the others dared not interrupt.
Mu Liang acted as if she had never heard of it, Chang Le had something to say, and so did Lin Ran, but her words were sharper than before, and she didn't give Chang Le any face.She looked at Chang Le from the side, and Chang Le's eyes were full of visitation and doubts.
Could it be that she still doesn't know what Qin Wan did, or is she pretending not to?
After thinking about it, Chang Le stopped talking, Lin Ran picked up the wine cup in front of her, Mu Liang pressed her hand, and said helplessly, "Drink less, because if you drink too much, you will get a headache."
Lin Ran smiled lightly, put down the wine cup obediently, and the Chang Le nearby looked at the two people respecting each other as guests, surprise flashed in their eyes, and they didn't speak again until the banquet was over.
After the banquet was over, the eight kings and nine kings put their shoulders together and left, the younger generation walked slowly behind, Mu Liang ordered the palace servants to clean up the mess, and she followed Lin Ran back to the palace.
Zhiwei fell asleep early, Mink was lying on the footboard under the couch, and the palace servants covered him with a small quilt, looking very cozy.
Mu Liang felt relieved after seeing it, and went back to the hall to rest. Lin Ran was lying on the couch, lazily after taking a bath, and didn't even care about Mu Liang coming in.
When she relaxed, she lost her energy. Mu Liang touched her head and found that the temperature was normal. She tucked the quilt up for her before going to take a bath.
Lin Ran turned over and was about to go to sleep. He habitually thought about everything that happened during the day in his mind before falling asleep.
Thinking of Changle's words tonight, what was the meaning of mentioning Zhao Fuyun for no reason, she was puzzled, just when Mu Liang came back from the bath, he got up and sat on the couch: "Ah Liang, why did Changle mention Zhao Fuyun today? Is there any reason?"
"She mentioned the woman you have had contact with, but she has no other intentions." Mu Liang got on the couch, covered her with the quilt, and urged: "There is something to do in the court tomorrow, go to sleep early, don't think about it .”
Dr. Cui told her to go to bed before the hour of the day, and if she stayed up late, she was afraid that she would have a headache again. Mu Liang watched her in recent days, and made her sleep as soon as the hour of the day passed.
After Lin Ran lay down, she didn't feel sleepy either. Mu Liang didn't let her go, but hugged her and said, "Close your eyes if you can't sleep, it's always good to nourish your spirit."
Everything is silent, there is no sound from outside, it seems quiet.
Lin Ran was silent for a while, unable to move when she hugged her, she reached out and hugged Mu Liang: "I'll sleep with you in my arms, okay?"
Mu Liang closed his eyes and let her go, he would not reply to her words anyway, he should go to bed when he was tired.
Both of them had no charming thoughts, especially Lin Ran, holding the beautiful woman in his arms, thinking of Changle in his mind, he opened his eyes and looked at her: "Ah Liang."
"You are very noisy. Do you want to tie you up with a rope before you go to sleep?"
"Ah Liang, tell me, is there anything between me and Zhao Fuyun?"
Mu Liang is helpless, it's hard to say, she once tried to seduce you, but failed, she was silent for a while, Lin Ran still looked at her, "Go to sleep, remember the chains?"
"Don't treat me like a child..."
Before saying anything, Mu Liang leaned forward and kissed the corner of her lips.
The author has something to say: Mu Liang: Don't be a child.
Draw lottery and yogurt in a certain blog, if you are interested, you can go and have a look.
After the state government caught him, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly sent him to Beijing for work.
Mu Neng personally went to pick up the man outside the city. He wanted to beat him up to vent his anger, but when he saw it was a woman, he withdrew his kicked feet and sent him back to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice holding his breath.
Lin Ran once compared Zhao Fuyun to a poison. Mu Liang always remembered this matter. Besides, she obviously didn't remember it when she heard it from Lin Ran. She asked curiously, "Why is it a poison? Is she beautiful?"
"Beauty is beauty, and it is a bit more charming than ordinary women." Mu Liang explained, she was only Zhao Fuyun's publicity, and she had never felt the charm.
Lin Ran is different, she is young and full of vigor, if others use any means to her, she may be easily seduced.However, she only focused on Mu Liang, and no one else would look down on her, wasting Zhao Fuyun's thoughts in vain.
Time passed, and Lin Ran still didn't have any thoughts when he heard about it again. At first, he felt like he had seen a ghost and wanted to escape, but now there was no disturbance.
She didn't care much about people, she was still thinking about the affairs of the court, she said: "Ah Liang, Zhao Fuyun should have a party member in the court, let the Ministry of punishment have a trial."
The first trial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice is about to carry out the sentence. Mu Liang knew what she meant, so he restrained himself from joking, "Don't you think it's strange that she knows our whereabouts to Jiangnan?"
"By the way, I'll call the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. Is there anything else?" Lin Ran asked. She couldn't remember the past, and her impression of Zhao Fuyun was blank. She could only find out by asking Mu Liang.
"No more." Mu Liang said.
Lin Ran then got up, and ordered his servants to invite the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and personally instructed him that punishment can be used, and that it is enough not to beat people to death.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment understood, and after taking the order, he led the people to the Ministry of Punishment.
The remnants of the former Qi Dynasty are very involved, and Zhao Fuyun has no clear connection with the deposed emperor, so there is no guarantee that her influence will not infiltrate the court.Lin Ran couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, since he found someone, he had to investigate.
Interrogation is nothing more than torture, and there is no distinction between men and women in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You can only use words, and any punishment will be used.
After half a month of trial, Zhao Fuyun wanted to see the new crown prince.
It just so happened that Lin Ran was having lunch. During the transition season between autumn and winter, it was hot and cold. Yesterday the sun was so bright that it was so hot that people wore unlined clothing, but today there was a cloudy wind.Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment stood at the gate of the hall, his robes fluttered by the wind, and the coldness penetrated into the bone marrow.
Lin Ran stared blankly at the table full of dishes, and refused Zhao Fuyun's request, saying: "If she refuses to speak again, she will be sent to Zhao Prison, there are many ways."
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment left tremblingly, but Mu Liang saw her showing a sinister look, but did not speak.
After finishing her lunch, she said: "About half a month, Princess Changle's car will enter Luoyang City."
The first emperor had many heirs, and only two daughters survived until now. The emperor is the winner, and Changle is not considered defeated, it is just struggling.
Lin Ran thought for a while, saw that there were no palace people in the palace, and did not lie to Mu Liang, and said frankly: "Before leaving, Your Majesty lost the imperial decree to me and asked me to kill her directly."
She spoke calmly, but Mu Liang looked at her in shock.
Lin Ran said: "I'm just following His Majesty's will. If she stays calm, she can have fun in Luoyang City. I'm afraid she won't be reconciled."
Changle's mind is not shallow, but it's just a layer of pleasure-seeking skin.Recently, Lin Ran read some classics that recorded her affairs, and heard about the affairs between Qin Wan and her, so she didn't think she was a law-abiding person.
"Ah Liang, if she comes back and talks to you, be careful what you say, don't let her get too close."
She was on guard, and she hadn't reached the place where she wanted to kill. Mu Liang knew that she was not a vicious person. Thinking of her illness, she couldn't help worrying: "When you see her, just a few words will reveal your truth."
"She may not be ignorant of what Qin Wan did. Now that I am in charge of the country, I don't have time to meet her often." Lin Ran didn't think there was anything terrible about Chang Le, even if his thoughts were as ups and downs as Qin Wan's, she was still captured by her.
Big deal, repeat the old trick.
She was quite confident and would not be disturbed by her feelings, so Mu Liang didn't say anything, and ordered someone to make arrangements.

Mu Liang didn't want to go out of the palace, so Lin Ran had no choice but to lead the Jin Wuwei to Jiangfu by himself.
It was the first time for Lin Ran to go out of the palace as a prince. There were Jinwu guards in front of the car and behind the horses. The guard of honor was quite large. When she arrived at Jiangfu, there were already several people standing outside the door, and she went to see Zhongshu Ling.
Entering the house, she saw Jiang Ning Hou in the porch, her eyes trembled, and she quickly looked away, even ignoring Jiang Ning's salute.
Fortunately, there were so many people, Jiang Ning didn't care about it, she served her grandfather's decoction and couldn't leave the couch, so she followed Lin Ran in.
There were so many people in the room that it was not suitable for the sick to recuperate, so Jiang Ning sent them out and stood outside, waiting for his grandfather to call him.Today she is plain and clean, wearing a small shirt and long skirt, slim and graceful, with a delicate appearance.
Zhong Shuling raised several sons, but they didn't achieve much. Only this granddaughter was quick-witted. When he opened his eyes, he saw her granddaughter standing beside him, beckoning her to come and serve tea.
Lin Ran didn't look sideways, and said words of consolation and recuperation, he paused when Jiang Ning brought the tea, and said, "Zhongshu ordered Haosheng to recuperate, the weather is bad in winter, and illness is common."
The words were polite, and Zhong Shuling never cared about them, and said instead: "Compared with Your Majesty, His Highness is more suitable for the court, and now everyone in the court is uneasy, His Highness's heart must be reform. Timing. His Highness is impatient, and it will not be too late to wait for His Majesty to sit firmly in court."
Internal and external troubles should be eliminated first, and after the Turks are stabilized, they will free up their hands to diagnose and treat the court. This is an act of stability.
Zhong Shuling's eyes were clouded, and there was a cloud of blue under his eyes, and when he looked at people, he was also cloudy, and the reason was very simple, if you bear it, the emperor can bear it, and you, a little prince, should also bear it.
However, Lin Ran didn't want to bear it the most. Zhong Shuling was pedantic, and she knew more about the shocking principles of governing the people than her. Even the way of governing the world was better than ordinary people.She was not good at arguing with the patient, so she nodded in response.
He is able to win His Majesty's favor, and he has his own advantages, and he has gone through several dynasties, Lin Ran has not learned much from him, and he is just pretending to come here today.
She then said, "I understand the meaning of the Zhongshu Ling."
"His Royal Highness seems to be calm, but there is more tension, which can easily chill the hearts of the courtiers."
Lin Ran lowered her eyes, if it wasn't for the ministers always contradicting the emperor's will, she wouldn't be a villain, she wouldn't contradict Zhongshuling's words, after all, the two are not in the same position.Between the monarch and his ministers, it has always been the opposite.
After listening to some teachings, it was getting late, she got up and wanted to leave, Zhongshu ordered her to stay and said: "Your Highness is in the court hall, why don't you choose some children from good ministers to enter the palace."
Is this the idea of using the sons of civil servants as a pledge, or using the children selected into the palace to inquire about their family?
Lin Ran nodded and said, "The meaning of Zhongshu Ling, I'll go back and think about it."
Jiang Ning was still waiting at the side, bowing his head when Lin Ran passed by, Zhong Shuling sighed, and after she left, he called Jiang Ning: "This new prince has a good character, and he is not a heartless person. I know she is a beloved person, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to court. If she listens to my words, you must have a chance to enter the palace."
Even the emperor once praised Jiang Ning, so it can be seen that she has a great chance.
****
Lin Ran's mind was upright, he couldn't think of Zhongshuling's deep meaning, and he was still thinking about it when he returned to the palace.
There are also many handsome and outstanding people in Luoyang City, and if she chooses a smart person, she will also have her own connections when she enters the court in the future.The aristocratic family is deeply rooted, and it is also a way to make them obey.
It was getting dark early in early winter, Lin Ran was sitting alone in the hall, nothing serious happened today, after the emperor's personal conquest, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and there was a faint tendency to save the defeat.
Zhao Fuyun was thrown into Zhao Prison and locked up by her. If she can't ask him for a day, he will be locked up for a day. She is not afraid that she will not tell her.
She thought about Zhong Shuling's words in her mind and pondered for a long time. When Mu Liang entered the hall, she was still in the posture of entering the hall, not moving a bit.Mu Liang felt sorry for her, and said: "Why are you so out of your mind, seeing something sad outside the palace?"
"There is indeed one thing." She couldn't make up her mind, so she told her the meaning of Zhongshu Ling, and said: "Ah Liang, do you think this will work?"
Lin Ran didn't have any friends in Luoyang. In the past, she was disdained to associate with her because of her business background. After being recognized by His Majesty, her status was special, and no one dared to be friends with her.
After thinking about it, she is really in a bad situation. Zhongshu Ling's move was also for her sake. Mu Liang also knew the deepest meaning of this move, smiled and said, "Why are you hesitant?"
"I don't know if the children of the aristocratic families in Luoyang are good or bad. Naturally, we should be more cautious if this move involves the court." Lin Ran sullenly, hesitating rarely.
She hadn't noticed the deep meaning of Zhongshu Ling?Mu Liang was slightly startled, thinking of her character, she said: "I think it's okay, people entering the palace are under your control, and I'm afraid they won't succeed."
"That's the truth, but..." Lin Ran paused, and turned to look at Mu Liang: "You think it's okay?"
Mu Liang smiled slightly, still gentle, and a little more pampered than usual, "Why do you ask me about the court?"
"Shouldn't I discuss it with you?" Lin Ran was surprised, and was tickled by her smile, and leaned towards her unconsciously: "This move not only involves the court, but also has something to do with the East Palace."
She was a little anxious, as if she was ignorant of affection, unlike being married for many years, Mu Liang knew what she meant, and didn't mind saying: "Since you have guessed the meaning of Zhongshu Ling, why do you still ask me?"
"I have to ask you about important matters." Lin Ran was ashamed, her ears blushed, and she looked up at her again: "What do you think?"
"I think yes, Jiang Ning is really good." Mu Liang boasted, since she accepted the false title of concubine, she was doomed that Lin Ran is not hers alone, and Lin Ran's thoughts are all on her side, so she won't treat her badly she.
She said yes, but Lin Ran still hesitated, brushed his temple hair childishly, stood up, took two steps, turned back and said to her, "I'll ask my father-in-law."
She hurried out of the palace again, Mu Liang was worried about her, and reminded her: "It's getting dark, it's not too late to ask after tomorrow."
The person who stepped over the threshold paused again, smiled naively, and walked back into the hall: "That's right, are you hungry? I'm a little hungry."
After speaking, he rubbed his shoulders again. He just sat for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that she regained her composure, Mu Liang couldn't say anything, so she ordered the palace servants to prepare a meal for her to eat more.
When eating, it's not easy to mention other things. After she finished eating, she said: "Wang Jian came to report that Changle's car will enter the city tomorrow, and I want to go outside the city to meet him."
Leaving aside the affairs of the court, the relationship between her and Changle is not shallow, and it doesn't matter if you meet one or two.
"Welcome her for what?" Lin Ran was puzzled, forgetting the sister relationship between the two.
Mu Liang explained to her from the beginning, and then said: "The times are changing now, so it's better to be merciless. There will be nothing wrong tomorrow. I will leave the palace without a guard of honor, and no one will care. I am not going to welcome her as a princess. .”
"That's fine, I'll let Wang Jian send you off, just be careful." Lin Ran didn't refute, and immediately went to tell Wang Jian, caring about Mu Liang's affairs.
Mu Liang was moved in his heart, smiled lightly, and didn't say anything else.
After the court meeting the next day, Lin Ran really stayed with Mu Neng and asked about it.
Mu Neng is not stupid. As soon as Lin Ran said it, he remembered that the emperor had once praised Jiang Ning's horoscope.
He didn't know what to do for a while, listening to Lin Ran's father-in-law is not as good as the father-in-law, and said: "Your Highness thinks it is good, I will go to draw up a list for you."
Mu Neng's intentions are acceptable, Lin Ran nodded, "Don't make any noise about this matter, wait for the Zhongshu Order to report, you go back and think about candidates first."
She was extremely polite and alienated. Mu Neng couldn't get used to it and knew the difference between monarch and minister, so he took a deep breath and went back to the mansion.
The Eight Kings invited him to drink, but they were all rejected, so they turned to look for Lin Si and talked about it.
He felt uneasy, he always had to find someone to complain, he couldn't go to Mu Liang's place, so he had to find Lin Si.
Lin Si lived in the princess' mansion, saw him rushing in, knew something had happened, and asked someone to host a banquet, saying: "The prince is impatient, but for the sake of the princess, he should be called the princess."
"Zhongshu made that old man feel weird, what did he propose to choose children from aristocratic families to enter the palace..." Mu Neng paused, feeling that her proposal was right again, and felt depressed.
Before he finished speaking, Lin Si understood, nodded and said: "This move is feasible, and what the prince is worried about may not happen. Lin Ran upholds the nature of a sister, and will definitely not let the princess down."
"If you say you can't, then you won't?" Mu Neng didn't believe him, feeling really uncomfortable, he slapped the table again and said, "Now she's talking about her father-in-law, if she wasn't the prince, I would have beat someone up."
He has a bad temper, Lin Si understands, and came to him to complain about his depression, which shows that depression is difficult.Mu Neng had only one daughter, Mu Liang, who was separated when he was young, and then became the queen of Baoluo's family, so he had to let her be a pawn.
Lin Ranruo really felt sorry for Mu Liang, and Mu Neng was responsible for her misfortune, so he was naturally anxious.
Lin Si also understands his worries about being a father, but Lin Ran's status is unusual, powerful and beautiful, in an ordinary family, it is enough to make Mrs. Houzhai a 'scourge'.
He couldn't persuade him either, so he said: "My lord, don't worry, the two of them will always be fine."
Mu Neng couldn't listen at all, and drank a jar of wine after a while.
****
It was cold outside the city, the winter was chilling, and the wind was blowing. Mu Liang waited until noon before seeing the princess driving.
The hundreds of people on the official road are very conspicuous, shouting and embracing, full of momentum.When Mu Liang got into the car, Chang Le was dozing off, with a fair complexion, no different from when he left.
She opened her eyes, looked at Mu Liang, and curled her lips: "Ah Liang, congratulations."
"Congratulations, what did I do, but you, the tribute to His Majesty, is shocking." Mu Liang's expression remained the same, neither sad nor happy, nor angry, and he never showed his emotions at all.
The carriage is quite big, enough to accommodate six or seven people. Chang Le leaned on the soft pillow leisurely, "That gift belongs to sister Luo's family. It shouldn't be with me. After so many years, I forgot. When I returned to the fief, I packed my things , just find out."
Her expression was extremely calm, as if she had done a good thing casually, and no one could find fault with her.
Mu Liang thought of Lin Ran's words, and didn't talk too much. With the friendship of many years, she came to pick him up, it was the utmost benevolence.
After a few simple words, Mu Liang returned to the palace.
Lin Ran chose a day to hold a banquet in the East Palace to welcome Chang Le, and he never invited other people, they were all old Wang family members with different surnames.At that time, the eight kings and nine kings were respected, and it was common for the two to bicker and drink.
Chang Le approached Lin Ran, looking at her frequently.But Lin Ran didn't even look at her, Chang Le thought about it, and said: "I heard His Royal Highness captured Zhao Fuyun, the princess of the former Qi?"
"Indeed, I'm in Zhao Prison. Auntie wants to see you?" Lin Ran was stern, making the atmosphere cool down in an instant.
Since she returned to Luoyang, she is not as fond of laughing as she used to be. She often keeps a straight face, and her ministers are more in awe, which makes her former relatives and friends afraid to approach her. Only her confidants know that she does not remember the past, even now things, will forget.
Chang Le already felt that something was wrong, staring at her for a while, Mu Neng smoothed things over and said: "Caught in Jiangnan, interrogated for many days, but there is no result."
"Interrogation for many days?" Chang Le repeated, her red lips were moist, she sipped the wine, her smile was gorgeous, she looked at Lin Ran, and said with a clever smile: "Your heart is also cruel, for such a gentle The beauty is also successful, you used to praise her for being charming, it's like poison and medicine."
Lin Ran held the wine cup and shook it. Although he didn't know the past, these words sounded provocative, so he smiled, "The remnants of the former Qi, death is not a pity, the relationship between her and the deposed emperor is not clean, you have to ask Just ask."
Chang Le took a sip of his wine: "Why isn't it clean?"
Lin Ran pondered for a while, looked at Chang Le and smiled: "It's as unclean as little aunt and Qin Wan."
Everyone in the hall changed their expressions, but Chang Le only raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "It's really not clean, you should ask, lest there will be more children, and your Majesty's throne will not be secure, and if there is another battle against Qi, the one who will suffer is still people."
"I'm afraid a big war is impossible, and there may be many small troubles, such as collusion. Even the abolished emperor trusts this princess credulously, and the courtiers are even more confused. Little aunt, do you think it is right?"
The two talked and laughed at Yan Yan, with thorns in their words, which made others dare not speak. Even the irritable Mu Neng chose to continue tasting wine with the Eight Kings, and the others dared not interrupt.
Mu Liang acted as if she had never heard of it, Chang Le had something to say, and so did Lin Ran, but her words were sharper than before, and she didn't give Chang Le any face.She looked at Chang Le from the side, and Chang Le's eyes were full of visitation and doubts.
Could it be that she still doesn't know what Qin Wan did, or is she pretending not to?
After thinking about it, Chang Le stopped talking, Lin Ran picked up the wine cup in front of her, Mu Liang pressed her hand, and said helplessly, "Drink less, because if you drink too much, you will get a headache."
Lin Ran smiled lightly, put down the wine cup obediently, and the Chang Le nearby looked at the two people respecting each other as guests, surprise flashed in their eyes, and they didn't speak again until the banquet was over.
After the banquet was over, the eight kings and nine kings put their shoulders together and left, the younger generation walked slowly behind, Mu Liang ordered the palace servants to clean up the mess, and she followed Lin Ran back to the palace.
Zhiwei fell asleep early, Mink was lying on the footboard under the couch, and the palace servants covered him with a small quilt, looking very cozy.
Mu Liang felt relieved after seeing it, and went back to the hall to rest. Lin Ran was lying on the couch, lazily after taking a bath, and didn't even care about Mu Liang coming in.
When she relaxed, she lost her energy. Mu Liang touched her head and found that the temperature was normal. She tucked the quilt up for her before going to take a bath.
Lin Ran turned over and was about to go to sleep. He habitually thought about everything that happened during the day in his mind before falling asleep.
Thinking of Changle's words tonight, what was the meaning of mentioning Zhao Fuyun for no reason, she was puzzled, just when Mu Liang came back from the bath, he got up and sat on the couch: "Ah Liang, why did Changle mention Zhao Fuyun today? Is there any reason?"
"She mentioned the woman you have had contact with, but she has no other intentions." Mu Liang got on the couch, covered her with the quilt, and urged: "There is something to do in the court tomorrow, go to sleep early, don't think about it .”
Dr. Cui told her to go to bed before the hour of the day, and if she stayed up late, she was afraid that she would have a headache again. Mu Liang watched her in recent days, and made her sleep as soon as the hour of the day passed.
After Lin Ran lay down, she didn't feel sleepy either. Mu Liang didn't let her go, but hugged her and said, "Close your eyes if you can't sleep, it's always good to nourish your spirit."
Everything is silent, there is no sound from outside, it seems quiet.
Lin Ran was silent for a while, unable to move when she hugged her, she reached out and hugged Mu Liang: "I'll sleep with you in my arms, okay?"
Mu Liang closed his eyes and let her go, he would not reply to her words anyway, he should go to bed when he was tired.
Both of them had no charming thoughts, especially Lin Ran, holding the beautiful woman in his arms, thinking of Changle in his mind, he opened his eyes and looked at her: "Ah Liang."
"You are very noisy. Do you want to tie you up with a rope before you go to sleep?"
"Ah Liang, tell me, is there anything between me and Zhao Fuyun?"
Mu Liang is helpless, it's hard to say, she once tried to seduce you, but failed, she was silent for a while, Lin Ran still looked at her, "Go to sleep, remember the chains?"
"Don't treat me like a child..."
Before saying anything, Mu Liang leaned forward and kissed the corner of her lips.
The author has something to say: Mu Liang: Don't be a child.
