[Kaifeng House] Xin Xinquan'er

Back in the palace, Xin Lan asked the officials and found out that Pang Tong went to the study to read again.

Xin Lan pushed the door and walked in, just in time to see that Pang Tong was still holding a letter that was too late to hide.Pang Tong himself was sitting softly against the cushion. When Shen Lan entered the door, he was flustered for a moment. He didn't laugh until Shen Lan glared at him.

"Send me to come back after dinner in Kaifeng Mansion, so it was these people." Shen Lan stretched out two fingers to pinch a piece of letter paper full of words.

Seeing Pang Tong's silence, Xin Lan got angry and took the letter from Pang Tong's hand.Shake it off and read it carefully.

Pang Tong didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Xin Lan's concentration.

"The civil strife in Yunnan's He family is a big deal, and it's worth keeping it under wraps." He took another one and looked at it, "Drought in Gansu, this year's harvest is not mentioned, these farmers are afraid that they will suffer again. Hey" and then After reading one or two letters, each of which made Xin Lan feel happy, she took another letter, "Send the case of Dali Temple to you too?" Shen Lan was very happy.

Pang Tong still looked at Shen Lan without saying a word, and Shen Lan looked at Pang Tong's big flickering eyes, "It's no use pretending to be pitiful" said so, but Shen Lan helped Pang Tong up, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I knew Xin Lan was hurting me," Pang Tong said

"I know! I know you're still mad at me," Xin Lan said, walking to the dormitory with Pang Tong.

"Isn't this because you are worried?" Pang Tong said

"I know I'm afraid I'm worried, so I hide it from me. Pang Tong, Pang Tong, you and I have been husband and wife for so many years. Are I, Xin Lan, the kind of person who only cares about small families? When you conquered bandits in the east and rejected barbarians in the west, I am proud of your wife, no matter how dangerous or difficult it is, I have never stopped you." In Shen Lan's words, what Pang Tong heard was not understanding, but the same iron bones, iron-blooded tenderness.

Pang Tong hugged Shen Lan back, and the two stood in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon, "I'm just afraid that you will be sad, and I also want to rise at sunrise and rest at sunset every day, to be by your side , don't care about anything, it's just..."

"I understand, but you don't understand I understand, but I understand you don't understand I understand..." Xin Lan began to circle around.

"Hehehe...cough cough cough..." Pang Tong was amused, he couldn't catch his breath and coughed.

Xin Lan patted Pang Tong on the back, "I know you can't let it go, and I never thought you could let it go. If you let it go, you won't be the king of Zhongzhou I know. The world, the people of the world , have already melted into your flesh and blood." Shen Lan approached Pang Tong's arms, "I remember when we first met, no matter how poisonous your mouth was, you saved me, a little girl who had never met before. Later, I became a gentleman again. You, at that time, who would have thought that such a gentle man would be a murderer without blinking an eye"

"I admit that I kill people without blinking an eye, but you might as well give in. A gold hairpin is extremely poisonous. The cruel and heartless Tu Shan who killed people like hemp was regarded as a piece of shit by you. The sinister and cunning King of Xiangyang Almost died in your hands, a weak woman who didn't know martial arts, swayed through the market with gold in her pocket, calmly saved herself when being kidnapped, and even dared to run thousands of miles to the frontier alone for the sake of her sweetheart." Pang Tong recalled Shen Lan's heroism little by little, Xin Lan Pang Tong is no stranger to Lan's pride, and such an ordinary Shen Lan also has the temperament of arrogance and frost, and loves herself even more, loves her life, loves her soul.

"I thought you knew that I understood you, so you should know that I would not stop you. Then tell me, do I think highly of you or myself." Xin Lan asked

"It's just that I'm afraid, that's all," Pang Tong said.

The bright and dark guards in the Zhongzhou palace looked at the two couples who were still showing their love without shame. "The white head is like new, and the cover is like old." I'm afraid this is the only sentence that can describe them.

"It's getting dark, let's go back to our room," Shen Lan said in a flirtatious manner.

"Yes, ma'am"

Entering the dormitory, someone had already fetched water, and Xin Lan took off his shoes and socks for Pang Tong.Gently put Pang Tong's feet in the water, and washed Pang Tong's feet himself.After so many years, who would have thought that the king of Zhongzhou would wash the feet of the princess himself.Now that Pang Tong is ill, Shen Lan starts to wash Pang Tong's feet. Shen Lan always knows how much Pang Tong loves her.

Pang Tong has been in the army all his life, and he knows what his body is like.

The couple, who both knew they knew each other, refused to reveal it, because they both wanted to do something they knew.They are all fighting for more and more for these few days.

Xin Lan, gently washed Pang Tong's feet, rubbed them lightly, lowered her head and frowned, "Look, your feet are swollen, and you must have sat for a long time. To be honest, you are in the study How long did you stay"

"After lunch," Pang Tong said, "There are too many things to do, and you have given too little time."

"You think I'm an eyesore in front of you every day?" Xin Lan jokingly said, "Okay, I'll give you more time, so that those ladies from all walks of life, Xiaojiabiyu, Tianxiang, and Huakui will rush to your bed." Drill in! You think so beautifully." He rolled his eyes at Pang Tong, took the cloth towel, and wiped his feet dry.

"Xiaojin, Xiaoyu" Shen Lan called the big maid who was outside and entered the inner room.

Xiaoyu took a basin to pour water, and Xiaojin brought another basin of water for Shen Lan to wash her hands.Shen Lan undressed Pang Tong herself, took off his coat, pushed Pang Tong to lie down on the bed, and said, "I'll go to Doctor Su, if you're tired, take a rest first."

When Shen Lan personally found Ling Su Song, who lived in the Imperial Hospital in Linyue Pavilion, Pang Tong was already asleep. Su Song gently rolled up the trousers of Pang Tong's underwear, and gently pressed Pang Tong's feet and legs. and said softly to Xin Lan, "I want to give acupuncture to the prince, and the empress is most afraid of these things. Do you ask the empress to avoid it?"

"No, Xin Lan can also listen to the imperial physician's orders, please, Imperial Physician Su." Then she said to Xiaoyu, "Go and close the doors and windows carefully, the prince's practice of needles will never be seen."

Xin Lan looked at the silver needles as thin as a cow's hair, piercing into Pang Tong's leg, as if piercing into her own leg, the pain was excruciating, her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled.

Half an hour later, she pulled out the silver needle, Shen Lan covered Pang Tong with a quilt, and the imperial physician packed the medicine box and prepared to leave.

Xin Lan invites Xiao Jin to serve Pang Tong, and she leads Doctor Su out of the room.

The gazebo in the courtyard, "My lord...how is he?"

"Not good." Su Song shook his head, "My lord can't rest, it's a lot of work, it's worse than expected."

"If the prince asks you, how are you going to answer?"

"My lord just needs to rest in peace," Su Song said

"No, if the prince asks, you should tell the truth." Xin Lan said

"This..."

"Who is our prince, you don't have to lie to him, and you don't have to persuade him." Xin Lan sighed, "You can't be fooled, but you can't be persuaded. Life and death are fate."

"Niang Niang"

"You don't have to persuade me, just remember not to tell the prince, I know, I don't want him to feel sorry for me." Xin Lan said

A few days later, according to Xin Lan's instructions, when Pang Tong asked, Su Song told the truth.Pang Tong also only ordered, "Don't tell the princess, I know, lest she be sad."

Su Song sighed.

That day when Shen Lan left Kaifeng Mansion as usual, Bao Zheng didn't think about it, and with his busy schedule, many days passed.When the matter in Bao Zheng's hands came to an end and another case was concluded, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.Although Gongsun Ce is an amateur doctor, it's not like he hasn't cooperated with Tai Hospital before.

Going to find Gongsun Ce and discussing it, both decided to pay a visit.

In Zhongzhou Palace, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao sat in the hall and waited, while Xin Lan and Pang Tong walked into the hall.

"Yes, I saw the stars accompanying the sun yesterday, and I was wondering who I would see today. It turned out to be you, Mr. Bao Zheng." Pang Tong said while walking with a smile.

Zhan Zhao helplessly rolled his elegant eyes.

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng look at each other

"Look, you are scolded again"

"You have a sharp tongue, come on"

"My lord, I heard that my lord is ill a few days ago. My lord has long wanted to visit him at the mansion. However, I have been busy with things recently, so I have time to visit my lord today. I would like to ask my lord to forgive me." Gongsun Ce said politely

'It's still a' sour rot, "No need, I'm fine." Playfully looked Bao Zheng up and down, "Or, are you expecting me to do something?"

Later, I chatted about some things.At this time, Pang Tong looked pretty good, so Bao Zheng Gongsun Ce Zhanzhao was sent back just like that.

The days passed day by day like this, Pang Tong still claimed to be sick at home, Su Yuanling was still living in the palace, the emperor sent two more imperial physicians, the situation in the court changed suddenly, Bao Zheng's several visits were blocked by Shen Lan went back.After the emperor visited the palace in person, all the relatives of the emperor and the officials in the frontier knew that the king of Zhongzhou was ill, so they sent gifts to the palace without time to pay for the mortgage.

Zhan Zhao visits the palace of Zhongzhou at night, but the secret guards try to intercept him, but Zhan Zhao returns in vain, and tells Bao Zheng truthfully, and finally has to ask Gongsun Ce to come out.

The next day, Gongsun Ce knocked on the door of the Zhongzhou Palace, and Shen Lan still proposed Pang Tong to come forward. Unfortunately, the talented Gongsun in the past and Mr. Gongsun today are not as easy-going as Bao Zheng, so they sat down on the hall of the Palace. Not leaving, Xin Lan had no choice but to serve delicious food and drinks, and Gongsun Ce would not leave at night, so she sent a letter to Kaifeng Mansion from the servants of the Wang Mansion, and stayed at night by herself.

It took three days like this, Bao Zheng didn't care, and Zhan Zhao didn't come to pick him up.

"Shen Lan just found out that Brother Gongsun played a scoundrel, I'm afraid my prince would be ashamed of himself." Shen Lan was helpless.

"Gongsun Ce is also a helpless move" Gongsun Ce

"Gongsun Ce was known as the number one talented person in the Song Dynasty back then. If he had calculated, you would not be an opponent, Xin Lan." Pang Tong's voice came.

"Students pay homage to the prince and thousand years old" Gongsun Ce bows and salutes

"That's all." Pang Tong waved his hand and walked to the main seat. "Night owls come into the house for nothing, and Mr. Gongsun came to my palace. I don't know what it is?"

"Does the lord know about the salt road in the south of the Yangtze River?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"So what if this king knows, this king is not interested in solving the case." Pang Tong said

"In the south of the Yangtze River, 36 officials, big and small, died. The officials sent by the Ministry of Punishment died of illness before arriving." Gongsun Ce said.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, resign to fate."

"It's no coincidence that the three batches of officials all died on the way."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence"

"If the prince thinks so, Gongsun Ce has nothing to say. Gongsun Ce leaves." Gongsun Ce left

Pang Tong curled his lips and smiled, Xin Lan looked at Pang Tong, looked at Pang Tong's gray hair, gently stroked Pang Tong's cheek, bent down, and kissed Pang Tong's mouth, eye lines, and forehead like a dragonfly.Gently sitting on Pang Tong's lap, "You have been paying attention to this matter these past few days, and you have made a lot of arrangements. Now the time has come, and it should be a hit."

"I made you sad again," Pang Tong said

"Even if I'm sad, you still have to do it. Why should I be sad." Xin Lan gently painted Pang Tong's face with her hand, "I want to go too," Xin Lan said

"No," Pang Tong resolutely refused. "It's just one case, Bao Zheng is enough. Don't forget, this king is the famous Flying Star General"

"Is war inevitable?" Xin Lan asked

"The day when Bao Zheng solves the case is when the flames of war are burning. It is inevitable. That's why I have to go in person." Pang Tong said

"Go, you can avoid the disaster of war, but what about next time, next time!" Xin Lan sighed softly. "Xiaojin, go and invite Su Taiji"

"Yes"

"With Su Song, I feel at ease," Shen Lan said

"Su Song is waiting for your mother's orders." Su Taiyi bowed and said

"Don't mess around," Pang Tong said

Shen Lan bowed her head and said nothing, she also knew that Liberty was a bit of a mess, and brought an imperial doctor, so it was not obvious that people knew that the king of Zhongzhou was in trouble.

The two didn't shy away from Su Song when they spoke, and Su Song also lowered his eyebrows and kept silent.Respectfully give Pang Tong a pulse.

"My lord, Su Song has something to say, the lord's body needs to be rested, and he should not travel far and work hard." Su Song said

"Su Yuanling, I don't know my own body yet, you don't have to use the words of the emperor to prevaricate me." Pang Tong said

"Su Song is ashamed of the Holy Majesty, and now you can't let the prince put himself in danger regardless of safety. If the prince insists on traveling far, Su Song will definitely report the truth to the Holy Majesty." Su Song stuck his neck and challenged Pang Tong

"Su Song, are you threatening me?" Pang Tong smiled arrogantly

Su Song fell to his knees, "Su Song dare not."

"Doctor Su, you know what kind of person our lord is, and I won't stop him. Do you think you can stop him, or the emperor can stop him?" Xin Lan said. "My lord's medicine should be cured too, Imperial Physician Su will come with me!"

Su Song knelt down and got up, Shen Lan looked at, "Why do you really want to threaten the prince?"

"Su Song dare not" Su Song got up and went out with Shen Lan.

"Do you think the prince and I of the communication department in the palace don't know about it every time? Or do you think our Zhongzhou palace has a false name?" Xin Lan stopped Su Song and continued, "The prince and I both know about the body of the prince, and you know it too." , but you can’t tell the emperor that it’s the emperor’s benevolence and filial piety who sent you here, and he just wants you to keep an eye on the prince’s body on his behalf.

"Salt and iron are the foundation of the people's livelihood. Now something happened to the salt road, and the involvement is very deep. The royal family and nobles are involved. The Holy One is determined to investigate thoroughly. Bao Gong is just and ruthless, and the truth is close at hand," Shen Lan said.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be too tired to disturb the prince." Su Song said

"What happens after the truth comes out? It's not just the royal family and nobles who are deeply involved, this is a big case since the current emperor's ascension to the throne!" Xin Lan frowned, "If you tell the emperor about the situation, the emperor will let the prince Go. There is turmoil in the foreign country, and the martial arts is active. Besides the prince, who else can deter the foreign country, calm the martial arts, make the people support, and all officials submit."

"Ma'am... Su Song is just a doctor"

"But you are also a subject of the Song Dynasty, and you are willing to sacrifice your life for the sake of the Song Dynasty." Shen Lan asked

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Su Song is willing to die and die." Su Song said

Xin Lan looked at Su Song, Su Song suddenly understood.

"Your Majesty is righteous, Su Song is dull, thank you for your teaching." Su Song understood that he could do this himself, not to mention the King of Zhongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty!But the princess's deep understanding of righteousness, Su Song felt that there was no woman with such courage as the princess.

"I don't have any righteousness." Shen Lan laughed at herself. She knew that she was reluctant to let Pang Tong go. She would rather keep Pang Tong in the room and never leave her side for a moment, but she was even more reluctant to stop Pang Tong. The relationship between husband and wife is even more confidant.Pang Tong is a hero she admires even more. From the day she married Pang Tong, she decided to support his husband's decision no matter what.

She also knows that if she stops Pang Tong, maybe Pang Tong will really stay because of guilt, and the matter will be resolved with time, but how many people will die, how long will the disaster last, and what price will be paid, Xin Lan OK.Not to mention Pang Tong leaving regrets in his last life.

She can only go on like this, go on...

Holding the medicine in her hand, tears fell uncontrollably, and a drop of tear fell into the medicine bowl inadvertently, Xin Lan hurriedly wiped her tears.

"Doctor Su, please take it to the prince. I will get some food for the prince." Xin Lan said in a concealed manner.

Seeing that Su Song was being ordered by her current person, Xin Lan washed her hands and went to cook soup.

Su Song still sent news to the palace, Pang Tong still opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and Xin Lan still pretended to be stupid and took care of Pang Tong, throwing Ruo Da's palace affairs to the eldest son, his eldest son.

No matter how reluctant Xin Lan is, the day of her tour has come.

In the early morning, Shen Lan served Pang Tong to wash up. In front of the dressing table, Shen Lan stood behind Pang Tong and combed his hair carefully. The hairpin was high and fastened with a bright yellow ribbon. The prince's court clothes, a three-inch wide jade belt to mold the waist, an open shirt covered with moon gauze, and bright yellow court boots, all of which, one by one, were all tidied up neatly for Pang Tong by Xin Lan without pretending to be anyone else.

Chaoyang gave Pang Tong a layer of golden sunshine, and Xin Lan stood on tiptoe and kissed Pang Tong proactively. "Take good care of yourself"

Pang Tong hugged Xin Lan deeply, in his arms, "I will. You also take care of yourself."

Xin Lan clearly felt that Pang Tong's arm strength was far worse than before.Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he returned Pang Tong with a firm smile.

"Mother, father. The Kaifeng mansion has arrived and is waiting in the front yard." The prince walked into the house

"Take care of your mother," Pang Tong said to his eldest son

"Don't worry, dad, don't worry about it"

In the front yard of the Zhongzhou Palace, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and Zhan Zhao have already arrived.The prince led the way in the front, and Shen Lan, wearing the imperial concubine's court dress, walked hand in hand with Pang Tong to the front yard. Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and Zhan Zhao saluted according to the rules. Pang Tong, Shen Lan took the lead and walked out of the palace gate. Soldiers, including Pang Tong's personal guards, and Kaifeng Mansion's officials. Hundreds of people stood on a street, and a pair of thousands of troops were waiting outside the city. A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Wangfu. Xin Lan personally helped Pang Tong get on the carriage.

After that, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce got into another carriage, Zhan Zhao got on the horse and gave an order, the wheels rolled and dust flew away.Xin Lan's body shook slightly, Shi Zi hurriedly hugged his mother.

"mother"

"Chun'er, mother is fine." Xin Lan patted Shizi's hand

"Mom, if you're sad, just say it, don't feel bad when you're like this"

"Chun'er, mother only cared about occupying your father, and never considered your feelings as children. Your father..."

"Mother, I know, I understand. You forgot that Chun'er grew up with her grandparents since she was a child."

Xin Lan stroked Shizi's hair, "How do you know about your father!"

"Yes...my child has asked Doctor Su"

"No threats?"

"Mother, baby" the son said and tears flowed out

"Into the house" Xin Lan dragged her son back to the hall, letting her son burst into tears along the way.

Xin Lan sat in the living room, watching her son cry.

"My child knows that father and mother are hiding it from the children, because they are afraid that the children will worry. But mother, why are you willing to let father go like this?" the prince asked in tears.

"Why don't you let it go!" Xin Lan said, "Your mother, I have nothing to let go of, besides, I have abandoned your father not once or twice."

"Mother, my son is wrong, please don't speak angry words." The son knelt down on his knees, "I understand, I understand, it is because I am ignorant, I shouldn't complain, I know, my father and mother don't tell the children. It's for our own good."

Xin Lan hugged her son, "Mother has known for so many years that she is not a good mother, but now you make her look at her with admiration. Mother often told your father that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so what father and mother most hope for you is that you have your own blessings." Promising. You are the eldest brother, and your father and I will be relieved when my mother sees my son like this today. In the future, your father and I will leave, and the family will rely on you."

"Your Majesty, don't say such things, the child can't bear it."

"Stupid child, I just praised you for being smart, but you can't help but praise you rotten potatoes." Xin Lan hugged her son and looked into the sky

The crown prince looked up at Shen Lan's face in Xin Lan's arms, and a trace of inexplicable premonition made him feel fear.

In April, the king of Zhongzhou went on a tour, and the scholar of Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Longtuge was ordered by the emperor to lead a thorough investigation into the murder of 36 officials along the Jiangnan Salt Road.

At the end of May, the case was fruitless, and the king of Zhongzhou ordered Bao Zheng to solve the case within ten days. The guard with a knife, Bai Yutang, was so angry. not out.

At the beginning of June, the Yandao case was still unsolved, and the date for the Martial Arts Conference of the Supreme League had arrived. Zhan Zhao received the invitation and took some friends to attend the martial arts conference, but did not return for ten days.

In mid-June, the Supreme League announced that the murderer Zhan Zhao had been arrested and was about to go to public trial. Bao Zheng ordered the arrest of the murderer Zhan Zhao with an imperial order, but failed.

Three days later, the Supreme Alliance disappeared without a trace, and Zhan Zhao disappeared and never returned.

At the end of June, Supreme League's intention of treason came to light in Jianghu, and the ground-breaking case of killing 36 officials in Yandao, Jiangnan was solved, which belonged to Supreme League.The imperial envoy issued an official document on arrests at sea, causing an uproar in the officialdom.

Afterwards, the king of Zhongzhou was invited by King Ying and brought Bao Zheng, the imperial envoy, to the appointment.On the way, Bao Zheng was assassinated and injured. Rumors spread that the king of Zhongzhou intended to take revenge on Kaifeng.

In mid-July, Zhan Zhao, who had been missing for more than a month, suddenly appeared. At the same time, King Ying led troops to besiege Xingyuan, King of Zhongzhou, but was captured instead.The king of Zhongzhou led the troops to take down Yingwang Mansion. Afterwards, Bao Zheng, the imperial envoy, opened the court and tried the case. The supreme leader was sentenced to death, but the leader of the Supreme League was still at large. Lack of evidence.

Civil strife broke out in Nanzhao, and the king of Zhongzhou went to the border of Nanzhao to meet with the king of Nanzhao and took King Ying away.Bao Zheng, the imperial envoy who was ordered to travel, asked the king of Zhongzhou for the king of Ying to no avail, and went to Nanzhao with the king of Zhongzhou.

On the fifth day of August, the king of Zhongzhou arrived in Nanzhao. The Nanzhao army attacked the king of Zhongzhou, but was defeated and suffered numerous casualties. The thousands of guards of the king of Zhongzhou had increased by more than 20 by the time they arrived in Nanzhao.King Ying's troops were all taken over by the King of Zhongzhou, and the local Xiang army was transferred, and the friendly army of the King of Yunnan in Dali was also assisted.He knew that the leader of Nanzhao State Hutu had controlled Nanzhao King for [-] years.The Nanzhao general took advantage of the chaos to rescue the Nanzhao king and rushed to the Zhongzhou king's camp.

On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, the King of Zhongzhou defeated the leader Hutu of Nanzhao, and the subjects of Nanzhao welcomed the King of Nanzhao back to the country.

On August [-]th, the second prince of Nanzhao became king, and the king of Zhongzhou was already on his way back to Beijing.Accompanying imperial envoy Bao Zheng, and others.And Bai Yutang, the lieutenant of Zhongzhou Wangfu and the envoy of the king of Yunnan participated in the enthronement ceremony of the new king of Nanzhao.

The above is passed down by the people of the Song Dynasty.
