Bongjun's Life and Death Tribulation

Just after the end of summer, the weather in early autumn suddenly turned cold, and the cool wind rolled up thick ginkgo leaves on the ground, turning around and drilling under people's feet.

He Lan Ruoming had just returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Xiang A Duo lazily opened his eyes on the imperial concubine's couch, and muttered: "It's getting cold, and I don't want to sleep much, so I have to go to court! I can't sleep well either."

"uncomfortable?"

Seeing that A Duo's eyes were swollen, He Lan took off her cloak and sat beside her, "I'm going to give birth in a month or so, so be careful."

While talking, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside, and then Xiao Linzi rushed into the house.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Empress..."

"What's wrong with him?" Xiang A Duo's sleepy eyes suddenly sparkled, not as sickly as before.

"The empress died of illness." Xiao Linzi wiped his tears with his sleeve, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Really dead?" Xiang A Duo jumped up from the imperial concubine bed.

"The servant touched it, and it's out of breath." Xiao Linzi's tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Go to Nagato Palace! I won't be relieved until I see his dead body with my own eyes!"

Xiang A Duo walked down excitedly from the imperial concubine's bed, but He Lan Ruoming on the side remained motionless in his original posture.

"Why are you in a daze?" Xiang A Duo hurriedly urged.

He Lan Ruoming raised his head when he heard the sound, stared blankly at A Duo, and asked suddenly, "Who died?"

"Chu Xiran!"

"Who?"

"Your Majesty, it is the empress who died." Xiao Linzi repeated.

He Lan Ruoming only felt that a knife had been stabbed into his heart, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly speak, so he had to cover his heart with one hand, and hold the corner of the table tightly with the other, until Xiang A Duo walked back to him, and put his palm covering his heart on the He slowly eased down on his swollen stomach.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to visit Nagato Palace."

"it is good……"

Although there is some distance from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Nagato Palace, under the repeated urging of A Duo, the eunuch carrying the sedan chair walked very fast, and in a short while passed He Lan Ruoming's sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with the emperor." Xiao He, the maid of honor to A Duo, whispered.

Looking back at A Duo, he saw that He Lan Ruoming's sedan chair had stopped unexpectedly, and Xiao Linzi was caressing his heart in a panic.

"Why did it happen again?" Xiang A Duo snorted impatiently, "For Chu Xiran, he actually collided with the Gu worms in his body over and over again."

"There have always been rumors among the people that the emperor doesn't love confidante, and he only favors the male empress. It seems to be true."

"No matter how deep his love is, it's not the same after being hit by the Peach Blossom Gu! The more he cares about Chu Xiran, the more painful his heart will be, and the shorter his life will be."

"Ma'am, are you going to see the emperor?"

"No, I have to go to Nagato Palace first to confirm if Chu Xiran is really dead!"

Seeing A Duo's sedan chair getting farther and farther away, Xiao Linzi became anxious, but seeing his emperor's master holding his heart for a long time and unable to straighten up, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Xiao Linzi, go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." He Lan Ruoming's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.

Xiao Linzi was taken aback, but thinking that Xiang A Duo had already rushed to the Nagato Palace, he had no choice but to say cruelly: "Your Majesty, don't you even want to see the Empress for the last time?"

"The last side..." He Lan Ruoming gripped the fabric of his chest tightly with one hand, as if this could soothe the pain in his heart. After a while, his breathing gradually returned to calm.

"emperor?"

"Go to Nagato Palace."

When we arrived at Nagato Palace, the only sound in the desolate courtyard was the creaking of door panels. Occasionally, a few crows landed on the corners of the eaves, flapping their wings and making ugly and shrill calls, which made people feel hairy.

Xiang A Duo walked into the room very cautiously with the support of the personal maid.White candles were already lit in the room, and Xiao Shunzi knelt on the head of the bed in white clothes, and kept wiping the tears on his cheeks with the back of his hand, until he saw Xiang A Duo, he ran forward like crazy, with a look on his face. The look of wanting to swallow people alive, unfortunately, was suppressed by the accompanying eunuchs and guards.

"Xiang A Duo, it was you who killed my master! I want you to die with your life!"

"Are you kidding me? He died because of his own poor health!" Xiang A Duo snorted coldly, walked straight to the bed, put his two fingers together and touched Chu Xiran's nose for a while, but couldn't feel it. After taking a breath, she pressed her fingertips against his neck again, and finally she simply pressed her entire palm against his heart. When she was completely sure that Chu Xiran was out of breath, she only smiled in satisfaction, and then lifted the lid with a bang. The brocade quilt on Chu Xiran's body pulled away his belt to look at the wound on his chest.

The wound rolled over, and although there was no sign of bleeding, it was very red and swollen.Xiang A Duo was already happy in his heart, but his face was still calm. He wanted to check whether the wound on his rod was also red, swollen and infected, but when his hand touched Chu Xiran's belt, he was pulled went back.

"What are you going to do?" He Lan Ruoming who had just entered the door suddenly rushed forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Check his wounds, lest he be deceived."

"He's already dead." He Lan turned his back to the bed when he spoke, not daring to look back at Chu Xiran's body, "You are pregnant, you shouldn't come to such an unlucky place."

"That's right." Xiang A Duo withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and winked at Xiao He who was waiting on the side. Xiao He got the order, quietly left the room, and walked quickly towards the direction where Huo Feier lived. go.

"Your Majesty, should someone prepare for the Queen's funeral?" Xiao Linzi asked in a timely manner.

"Okay." He Lan Ruoming nodded numbly, his movements were very stiff.

"Master likes white clothes, and this long sword is his favorite thing, and he wants to be buried together." Xiao Shunzi knelt in front of He Lan Ruoming with the folded white clothes in his hands, abruptly blocking his way.

He Lan Ruoming accidentally tripped over the kneeling Xiao Shunzi and staggered a few steps before standing still. He came back to his senses and lowered his head in displeasure. Just as he was about to get angry, his eyes fixed on the white robe. and longsword.

His gaze followed the blade of the sword to the white fringe hanging on the hilt, and in an instant, thousands of pictures flooded into his mind, for a while it was looking at A Duo's charming face, and for a while it was Chu Xiran's indifferent smile, almost at the same time , Countless voices enveloped him from all directions, drowning him completely.

"I called Xiang A Duo, I saved you."

"Chu Xiran, the son of the Chu family, see the emperor and queen mother!"

"Your Majesty, if you like me, marry me and let me be your queen."

"He Lan Ruoming, what do I, Chu Xiran, belong to you?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is pregnant!"

"A while ago you told me that your favorite concubine was pregnant with a dragon seed, and today you told me that you want to draft a girl. Have you ever thought about my feelings?"

"Chu Xiran must die!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress is sick and dead!"

……

He Lan Ruoming suddenly turned his head to look at the person lying on the bed. The cold body, the face without a trace of blood, and even the undulating chest were so eye-catching that it pierced his heart.

"He's dead?" He Lan Ruoming's eyes turned red.

"He's dead." Seeing He Lan Ruoming was a little strange to A Duo, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is tired."

"Get out of the way!" He Lan Ruoming simply pushed away towards A Duo, turned around and bent down, looking straight at the person lying on the bed.

He didn't understand what was wrong with him, he just felt that his heart was curled up, as if being held tightly by someone, and every time it contracted, it would sting for a while, and it seemed that a piece of heart had been ripped away alive, he even He could smell the bloody smell, rising up his throat little by little.

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Linzi was the first to see the blood dripping from the corner of He Lan Ruoming's mouth, and exclaimed in shock.

He Lan Ruoming didn't seem to have heard it, he just moved stiffly, and slowly stretched out his hand to touch Chu Xiran's face, the cold temperature spread to his heart along the skin of his fingertips, a chill came from his spine, he Trembling all over, he fell to the ground with a bang.

"Xiran... Xiran..." He Lan Ruoming widened his eyes in panic, shook his head and called Chu Xiran's name repeatedly, "No, he won't die, he won't die!"

The picture in my mind became clearer at this moment: the man was dressed in a simple white riding outfit, kneeling in front of him and saying "Welcome the emperor back to the palace"; He couldn't bear to look away; the man was slapped by him, and said with a smile, "I really don't know if you hit me or yourself."

Memories are like snowflakes, falling one by one, turning into tears, melting into the soil, and the final picture stops at the appearance when he left, the sound of horseshoes drifted away, and immediately the white figure was taken away a little bit. In front of him, he stretched out his hand to grab the man's back, but his palm was empty.

"Xiran!" The shrill hissing pierced through the silent Nagato Palace, startling the crows on the eaves to flap their wings and fly away to other places.

"It's a good show!"

Four people jumped up and down the beam, the first two were Zhao Yuening and Hei Lin, and the last two were Yingyue and Yingye.The moment Yingyue fell to the ground, she knocked Xiang A Duo unconscious with a split palm, and Ying Ye also moved behind Xiang A Duo's eunuchs and guards in a ghostly figure, and knocked them unconscious to the ground one by one with one palm, and then dragged them out. Entered Nagato Palace.

"Stop making trouble, wake him up quickly." Hei Lin took He Lan Ruoming who had fainted from Xiao Linzi's hand, while Zhao Yuening held a snuff bottle and shook it back and forth twice before Chu Xiran sniffed, then poured it out again Dab it on his forehead and heart, and after a while, Chu Xiran, who was still in a state of "fake death", woke up immediately.

"Release Gu." Hei Lin said.

Chu Xiran nodded, and dug out the urn used to raise Gu from under the green brick at the foot of the bed. Inside it was the Gu worm that he had fed for eight days with his own blood essence.

He cut open his wrist with a dagger, and the released Gu worms immediately flew to his wound, sucking his blood.The Gu worm is very small, and its demon-blue body is very beautiful at first glance, but it seems that it can't suck enough, and it refuses to leave Chu Xiran's wound for a long time.As its translucent abdomen fell up and down, the bright red blood slowly flowed, until it turned the entire blue body into blood red, and it slowed down the speed of the rising and falling of the abdomen.

"It's almost over." Seeing that Chu Xiran's lips turned pale, Hei Lin knew that he had lost a lot of blood, but at the critical moment, no one could intervene, "Be patient."

The Gu worm stopped sucking blood at this time, Hei Lin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered: "Drip the blood from your wrist onto his wrist."

Chu Xiran hurriedly followed suit, and sure enough, the Gu worm followed the blood and stuck to He Lan Ruoming's wrist, and then flapped its transparent wings twice, and the blood-colored little body swished into the hole on He Lan Ruoming's wrist. Gone in the skin.

"It's done!" Hei Lin jumped up, and hurriedly said again: "Hurry up and bring the barrel in!"

Xiao Linzi and Xiao Shunzi had already made preparations, and soon there was a steaming big wooden barrel in the middle of the room, which was filled with scalding mountain spring water.

"Take off his clothes and put them in." After Hei Lin ordered, he stopped talking nonsense and took out a gourd bottle from his pocket.

The contents of this gourd bottle are He Lan Ruoming's hair, nails and blood collected earlier, together with Chu Xiran's hair, nails and blood mixed together, mixed with the blood of the eight poisons and the talismans he drew and burnt. The final powder is buried in the ground and soaked for six days and six nights, and then the altar is opened. Just pour the contents of the altar into boiling hot spring water and let Helan Ruoming soak for an hour, and the blood curse will naturally be broken.

Looking at He Lan Ruoming who was soaking naked in the barrel, Chu Xiran lay on the bed and said with a light smile, "If he wakes up and finds that he has been stripped clean in front of so many people, he will die of rage."

"You still have the strength to speak?" Hei Lin glanced at Chu Xiran, knowing that he was already weak but still holding on to his last gasp, so he had to shake his head and said: "He is fine, but I think you are very bad .”

"I'm just a little tired, I'll take a nap." Chu Xiran closed her eyes, her voice became softer, "Is he really healed? Are the Peach Blossom Gu and the Blood Curse really gone?"

"Life Gu is pressing Peach Blossom Gu, it's not difficult to get rid of the blood curse, he's fine now!"

"Then I'm relieved. I wanted to wait for him to wake up before resting, but I really couldn't bear it. I'll sleep for a while. Remember to call me when he wakes up..." Chu Xiran's voice slowly gathered, and finally He put his head down and fell into a deep sleep.

"You!" Seeing that Chu Xiran fell asleep, Hei Lin turned his head and glared at the innocent Zhao Yuening. After a long time, seeing that his smiling face remained unchanged, Hei Lin sighed, "When I met you, I didn't know them What a disaster in the previous life!"

"Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion!" Zhao Yuening winked at him, then stuck out her tongue playfully.

On the other side, after receiving Xiao He's report, Huo Fei'er released the carrier pigeon without hesitation. The carrier pigeon flew all the way to the south sky and disappeared soon.

Huo Fei'er walked back to the room with peace of mind, and just as he closed the door, a hand pressed against the crack of the door.

"The weather is so nice, why don't you go outside for a walk?" The owner of that hand is Su Nianyao, also known as Yingxin.

"So it's my sister? Why did you enter my sister's courtyard without making a sound? It's scary." Huo Fei'er squeezed the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, and looked at Su Nianyao carefully.

"If you come in with gongs and drums, how can my sister feel at ease to send pigeons to report the news?"

"I do not understand what you are saying!"

"Helan Ruoying!" Su Nianyao uttered these four words clearly.

"Who are you?" Huo Feier took a step back and asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that my eagle has already flown out with your carrier pigeon."

Huo Fei'er looked at Su Nianyao, who was a complete stranger in front of her, and couldn't put her together with the Su Meiren in the harem who always had a low eyebrow and would only hide and cry even if she was bullied.

"Su Nianyao, what exactly do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just put you in the sky prison according to the order."

"At whose order?"

"Who else in this world can make a decree except the emperor?" Su Nianyao smiled and shook her head, "Are you still counting on the day when He Lan Ruoying decrees to make you queen? Then you can't wait! Because tomorrow, The entire Forbidden City will be plastered with his portrait, he is just a wanted criminal who intends to rebel!"

"No! He won't lose! He will make a comeback!" Upon hearing He Lan Ruoying's name, Huo Feier's panicked eyes became calmer, "You lied to me!"

"Whether it's a lie or not, you'll know soon!" Su Nianyao raised her left hand, waved her index finger, and saw the guards ambushing around jumped out one after another, surrounding Huo Fei'er.

"Concubine Li, please!"

Tiancheng Meiji 17th year, autumn.

Jin Yiwei was ordered to investigate the case of the former young prince He Lan Ruoying's rebellion, and the court and the harem were in turmoil.

Together with the concubines and young masters who participated in the rebellion in the harem, they were also imprisoned in the prison awaiting trial.

three days later.

The Qianqing Palace, which had been depressed for a long time, was silent, and the smell of ambergris seemed to permeate the house, but it couldn't suppress the strong smell of blood.Chu Xiran lay quietly, his pale face could be seen through half of the bed curtain, he was so motionless, even his breathing was extremely weak, as if he was dead.

He Lan Ruoming was sitting beside him, holding his palm with one hand, and dipping his hand in the earthen jar on the other side. There was a cut on his wrist, which was not deep, but it was bleeding continuously. The sharp drops fell into the jar.

"That's enough." Hei Lin picked up the earthen jar, dipped a brush with blood, and drew a strange totem on Chu Xiran's wrist. There was not a single drop of blood left, just enough for him to finish the painting.

As soon as he finished his pen, a demon blue Gu worm crawled out from the wound on He Lan Ruoming's wrist. The worm flapped its transparent wings a few times, flew up slowly, and landed on the totem drawn with blood. on, then disappears under the skin.

The blood-colored totem suddenly flashed with glowing blue light, and then flowed by itself as if it were alive. As the flow speed increased, Chu Xiran's pale face turned blood-red, intermittently, which was a bit strange.

After half a stick of incense, the bloody totem finally slowed down. Chu Xiran frowned, and his breathing became heavier, until the totem's backflow disappeared little by little, and he returned to his previous quiet appearance.

The blue Gu insect drilled out of the skin, followed the smell of blood back to the wound on He Lan Ruoming's wrist, and then returned to his body along the wound.

"How many days will it take for him to wake up?" He Lan Ruoming asked Zhao Yuening who was helping him bandage his wound.

"I don't know, maybe three or two days, maybe a year, or maybe I won't wake up forever." Zhao Yuening paused, looked up at He Lan Ruoming, and said, "You can rest assured, if ten days pass If he is still awake, this method of using blood to induce Gu will not be used again, you will not lose too much blood and die. Moreover, I promised him that if he cannot wake up, I will find a way to hang him Life, after all, you are now a Gu with two lives, if he really dies, you will not be able to live either."

"Don't worry? If he doesn't wake up, how can I rest assured? It doesn't matter how much blood it takes, I just want you to save him." After speaking, He Lan Ruoming pursed his lips tightly, and his face sank.

At this moment, Xiao Linzi walked in, and he said with a happy face: "Reporting to the emperor, the Mu family army strangled Helan Jiade's lair in Xiangxi, captured Helan Jiade alive, and obtained the records of all the officials who participated in the conspiracy. list."

"Very well, according to my order, all those on the list will have their homes confiscated, and none of the nine clans will be allowed to stay!" He Lan sat upright, with a stern look on his face.

"Zhulian Nine Clans?" Zhao Yuening said fearlessly, "Isn't that too ruthless?"

"I've always been like this." He Lan Ruoming squeezed Chu Xiran's hand, and said sharply, "Where is He Lan Ruoying and that wizard?"

"He Lan Ruoying has disappeared, and Jin Yiwei is looking for it. As for the sorcerer, it is said that he is hiding in the outskirts of the city."

"Chu Xiran promised to hand him over to me." Hei Lin said.

"Okay, what he promised is what I promised, the wizard is up to you, I don't ask."

"Thank you." Hei Lin cupped his fists, turned around and was about to leave, but was held back by Zhao Yuening.

"I also need to go!"

"Don't make trouble, you stay here and wait for me!" Hei Lin rarely put a serious face on Zhao Yuening.

"I'm going!"

"Yue Ning!"

"Got it, got it, I'll wait for you here!" Zhao Yuening sat down on the stool angrily, looked at Hei Lin's back and suddenly said, "Hey, don't forget that we have two lives for one Gu, if you die, I will I can't live!"

"En!" Hei Lin's figure quickly disappeared outside the door.

Xiao Linzi rubbed his eyes, then looked at He Lan Ruoming's hostile face, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do with Concubine Xiang and Concubine Huo Gui?"

"Heavenly Prison!"

"However, Concubine Xiang is alive." Xiao Linzi was a little embarrassed.

He Lan Ruoming hesitated for a moment, then said again: "Delegate Xiang A Duo and Huo Feier to change clothes, Huo Feier will be imprisoned in the sky prison, and be executed together with the Huo family, as for Xiang A Duo, let her live in the same place first. , send guards to guard the surrounding area, no one is allowed to enter, and the child will be dealt with after giving birth.”

"Yes!"

As soon as Xiao Linzi left, Zhao Yuening propped his chin with both hands, looked at He Lan Ruoming with his head tilted for a long time, and suddenly said: "I've always felt very curious."

"What?" He Lanruo stared at Chu Xiran without turning his head.

Zhao Yuening didn't mind, and said to himself: "After you woke up, you dealt with the rebels quickly and ruthlessly. No matter how you look at it, you don't think you are a fool who would be fooled and easily trick others."

"What do you want to say?" He Lan Ruoming finally turned around, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Did I hit it?" Zhao Yuening pointed at Chu Xiran and said, "He's not stupid than me, so he will think of it naturally."

He Lan Ruoming's body shook slightly, but he didn't answer.

"He really wants to save you regardless of his own life, but in the end it's just a pawn in your hands!"

"He's not chess!"

"But you counted him in after all." Zhao Yuening put away his sloppy smile, and his sharp words pierced He Lan Ruoming's heart like a sword, "If it were Hei Lin, he would push me away if there was anything dangerous. Stay far away, because he doesn't want me to get hurt a little bit."

"I didn't..."

A burst of hurried footsteps interrupted He Lan Ruoming, it was Xiao Linzi who came in, he plopped on the ground and shouted happily: "Your Majesty, General Qi has captured He Lan Ruoying."

"Caught it?"

"Yes, the wizard named Hei Yao has also been caught." Xiao Linzi said happily, "General Qi said that He Lan Ruoying found him by himself, and he picked Hei Yao's tendons and hamstrings, and wanted to dedicate him to him." General Qi is a male favourite, in order to ask General Qi to help him escape to the outside of the Great Wall! General Qi agreed to him on the surface, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to arrest him. Now both of them are locked in the sky prison, waiting for the emperor to punish him!"

"So easy to catch?"

He Lanruo was obviously a little surprised, and was puzzled, but Zhao Yuening jumped up first, "I'll call Hei Lin back!" After finishing speaking, he rushed out, and as soon as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Smelly Emperor, I remember you said you wanted to leave Hei Yao to us, don't touch him!"

"Your Majesty, are you unhappy that He Lan Ruoying was caught?" Seeing He Lan Ruoming's pensive look, Xiao Linzi couldn't help asking.

"Why should I be happy?"

"The emperor has been deploying for so long, and now everything is going according to the emperor's plan. Not only did Helan Jiade and his son be uprooted, but also those ministers who had two hearts. Isn't it a happy thing?"

"Everything is going according to plan?" He Lan Ruoming raised his eyebrows and looked back at Chu Xiran, "It was my biggest mistake to drag him into this situation. I shouldn't have asked you to find him, let alone I still hope to let him return to the palace! It has been four years, and he has finally lived a stable life for four years, and it is I who brought him back again. If I had known today, I would rather he never come back."

"Your majesty, you forgot. You said at the beginning that he is the queen of Tiancheng. Even if you don't let the servant go to the queen's master, the other party will try their best to find him. He can't hide at all."

"Just because I can't hide, I should protect him more than pull him in and play this game with me."

"emperor……"

"Xiao Linzi, you said that if he really doesn't wake up, what should I do?"

"No, the queen's master is lucky!" Xiao Linzi slapped his head, and added: "Looking at this servant's memory, I almost forgot. The crown prince and concubine Zhuang also asked the servant that they wanted to do it." The Qing Palace is visiting the queen's master."

"Alright, Xiran will like it." He Lan Ruoming touched Chu Xiran's cold face with the back of his hand, "Let them come over tomorrow."

Sky Prison is a prison directly managed by the imperial court, where the imperial court's severe criminals are imprisoned. The place is dark, gloomy and humid, and exudes a musty smell that lingers all year round.Zhao Yuening covered his nose with his sleeve and followed Hei Lin, turned a corner and walked into the depths. They finally stopped outside a cell, and then opened the door and walked in.

The person in the cell sat against the wall, with only some straw spread beside him, and a person was pillowed on his knees. The person's eyes were closed, and his body was covered with a clothes that could not see the color clearly. Even if someone came, he would not feel it. .

The person sitting was only wearing his inner coat, the white material was filthy, and under the messy hair was a handsome face, but when he saw the person, he smiled lightly, spit out the grass root in his mouth, and looked at Zhao Yuening a few times first. She shook her head and sighed, "What a beauty, but it's a pity that she has a scar on her face!"

After speaking, he shifted his gaze to Hei Lin again, lingering on the dog-shaped jade pendant around his waist for a while, and then said: "I recognize this jade pendant, Hei Yao also has one, but it was smashed before leaving the village. So, you should be the next witch god Hei Lin who shouldn't have left Miaowangzhai, and you also pulled out the Peach Blossom Gu and Blood Curse from Helan Ruoming at the same time?"

"Yes." Hei Lin took a few steps forward and came to his feet, "I'm here to take my senior brother away."

"Looks like I should really consider myself unlucky. It's better for Hei Yao's fate. At this point, someone will come to take him out of the prison. I said, do you brothers have an affair?"

"Helan Ruoying!"

Hei Lin's face was livid, seeing anger rushing to his head, fortunately Zhao Yuening who was behind him gently pulled him, "It's important to save your senior brother."

"He killed and betrayed his people because of you, and was even kicked out of the village. In the end, you didn't hesitate to use him as a bargaining chip in order to save your own life. Brother is blind to follow someone like you!"

Hei Lin bent down and hugged Hei Yao, feeling that the person in his arms was terribly light, he suddenly felt sad, thinking of the senior brother who always held his hand and taught him carefully when he was a child, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"He can use Gu to cast spells, if he doesn't pick the tendons of his hands and feet, and then injects a strong medicine, how can he be obedient? It's a pity that Qi's ignorance betrayed me!"

He Lan Ruoying's eyes moved to Hei Lin's body, and she suddenly turned her face away, looking a little impatient, "Come on, I'm destined to be worse than He Lan Ruoming, I'm unlucky! Go away, don't stand in front of me Get in the way, especially him, if it wasn't for his uselessness, how could He Lan Ruoming be sober?"

"Helan Ruoying, you really have no heart!" Unable to hold back, Hei Lin kicked Helan Ruoying's chest and knocked him to the ground.

He Lan Ruoying didn't have any strength in the first place, after this kick, she couldn't stand upright, she just clutched her chest and coughed repeatedly.

"Hei Lin, let's go." Zhao Yuening glanced at He Lan Ruoying, and pushed Hei Lin out of the cell. He locked the door slowly for a long time, until Hei Lin disappeared around the corner, and then locked it with a click. Turning his back to the cell, he said, "Don't worry, we will cure him and take him back to the village."

Zhao Yuening also left, and the death-like silence returned to the cell. Occasionally, there were screams or hysterical cries from other cells, and they were always stopped by the cell boss after a few rings.

He Lan Ruoying lay in the original position for a long time, then slowly sat up, moved a little bit to the previous position and continued to lean against the wall, grabbing the clothes that fell from Hei Yao's body with one hand.

It was actually his robe, which was originally a brilliant purple, but now it was so dirty that it was almost black.

He Lan Ruoying hugged the clothes into her bosom, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, the trembling laughter echoed in the cell, it was shocking to hear.

Late at night, the candles in the room were still burning brightly. Xiao Shunzi entered the room and picked up the scissors to cut off a few candles. Immediately, Xiao Linzi also stepped forward, spread out his cloak, and whispered: "Your Majesty , go back to Westinghouse and lie down for a while.”

"Yes, you have stayed up for two nights, let's replace the slaves to watch the night for the master." Xiao Shunzi put away the scissors, walked to the bed and put down the curtain.

"I still want to spend the night with him, you go to sleep outside, I will call you if something happens." He Lan Ruoming put down the booklet in his hand, and pushed away the cloak that Xiao Linzi handed over.

"Your Majesty, you have to go to court tomorrow morning, and you have to cut blood for the empress and master. It's impossible not to take good care of your body."

"I understand, I will rest well tomorrow night."

He Lan Ruoming waved his hand, sent the two of them away, then got up and walked to the imperial concubine's couch by the window, scooped up a spoonful of sandalwood powder from a celadon bottle, poured it all into the pink-blue three-legged incense burner, and used it again The lotus-shaped incense stick is lightly pressed, and finally the incense powder is ignited.

The subdued fragrance permeated the air, He Lan Ruoming took a deep breath, lifted the bed curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Chu Xiran.

"Tomorrow, I will issue an order to kill Helan Jiade, his son and the Huo family. As for the officials and ministers who participated in the rebellion, they will all be executed, and their family members, I will not keep any of them. I know, you will definitely object , but sitting on this dragon chair, even if you can't bear some things, you have to make a firm decision.

"When the late emperor passed away, he warned me to pay attention to Helan Jiade at all times. He read the brotherhood and let him live, but who knew that he planted hidden dangers. Even when he was dying, he still regretted it. I have been sending people to keep an eye on Helan Jiade for these years, and I found out that he was plotting against him, so I decided to go to Xiangxi for an unannounced visit.

"As I expected, they were already ready to move, but I didn't expect them to use witchcraft. Fortunately, I have already made the arrangements and everything is under control, including that I am sure you will come back to help me.

"I asked the shadow guards to act according to your orders, and arranged for members of the Mu family army to sneak into Xiangxi in disguise in batches to wait for orders. I also asked the Jinyi guards to keep an eye on the movements of the ministers in the court, and even Su Nianyao and Mu Yun in the palace. Speaking of which, you only know that Su Nianyao is a secret guard, but you don't know that Mu Yun entered the palace just to keep an eye on Huo Feier.

"I have reached a consensus with Old General Mu. He helped me eradicate the rebel party. I allow him to return home safely. Moreover, Mu Yun has a sweetheart for a long time. I will marry her personally when things are done. Almost dying in the harem made old General Mu very angry with the Huo family. This plan was a blessing in disguise and accelerated the speed of eradicating the rebel party. By the way, Zhao Yueru was an accident. I didn't expect you to get along with her after entering the palace. She has been helping you all the time, which reminds me of Nalan back then. They are indeed cousins, and they all hit it off with you very well. I'm really jealous. お稥.冂苐

"You see, I think I have planned everything, but if I miss it, you will lose your life. Zhao Yuening is right, I should push you far away instead of pulling you into this situation. After all, I Still as selfish as ever.

"You left for four years, and I waited for four full years. In the first year, I said to myself, you will come back next year. In the second year, I said to myself, I will give you another year After the third year, I can't help but think, are you already married, so what should I wait for?

"So I thought, since this is the case, let Xiao Linzi find you, you will definitely come back if something happens to me, once you come back, I will never let you go again.

"Back then, I said to let you go free, but I was absolutely unwilling in my heart, so I waited and waited with hope. But now I have figured it out. When you wake up, I will not stop you. You want to be free. You can go if you want. I have too many responsibilities and last resorts, I shouldn't drag you to suffer this kind of suffering with me."

He Lan Ruoming sighed, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand. Seeing that Chu Xiran was still motionless, he simply took off his shoes and coat, and lay down beside Chu Xiran.

"Xiran, I owe you more and more, and I don't know how to pay it back anymore."

Three days later, when He Lan Ruoming left a sixth wound on his wrist, Chu Xiran woke up.

He Lan Ruoming just stood by the bed, tears streaming down his face without realizing it, but Chu Xiran laughed first, and cursed softly: "It's useless."

Under Zhao Yuening's recuperation, Chu Xiran recovered extremely quickly, and he could get out of bed within three or two days. He decided to move back to Kunning Palace right away. He Lan Ruoming just opened his mouth, and finally nodded in agreement.

As soon as he returned to Kunning Palace, Chu Xiran became reclusive again. He handed over all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Zhuang, and he only read books or practiced sword with the prince on weekdays.He Lan Ruoming always came here often, sitting for a whole afternoon, watching the little prince coquettishly in Chu Xiran's arms, he picked up his collar and threw it aside with envy.

"Father is not yours alone! Father is so stingy!"

This is what He Lan Ruoxi loves to say these days, every time Chu Xiran always looks at him with the corners of his eyes covered with a smile, seeing He Lan Ruoming until his heart is full of flowers.

That night, He Lan Ruoming stayed in Kunning Palace again, but he only did it once because Chu Xiran was in good health.

After cleaning up Chu Xiran's body and putting on a clean underclothes, his limbs seemed to be wrapped around prey, and he refused to let go, biting the back of Chu Xiran's neck again and again, lingering Grind it for a while.

"Tired?" He Lan Ruoming asked while rubbing Chu Xiran's waist.

"En." Chu Xiran nodded.

"Then go to sleep." He Lan Ruoming pulled the quilt for him.

"Shouldn't I ask to be killed tomorrow?"

"Yes, at noon tomorrow." He Lan Ruoming was stunned, but he didn't expect Chu Xiran to remember it.

"I want to go and see."

"it is good."

"Do you still remember when I said, 'When your Gu is removed, the curse is removed, and the rebels are all arrested, let's talk about it'."

"Remember."

"I think, after tomorrow, I should leave too." Chu Xi
