Floating Life GL

"Your Majesty, the matter about Concubine Chen has already spread among the people. I tried to suppress the news, but... the news became known to everyone overnight. If it is not handled properly... I am afraid it will damage the royal family's face." .”

"Does Master Zhu mean to sacrifice Concubine Chen?" Wang Lang, Minister of Rites, responded.

"This is indeed the intention of the lower officials. Now all the subjects think that the concubine Chen has an affair with the notorious witch. If the punishment is not severe, people in the world may think that the emperor has been blinded and lost."

"But there is no real evidence for this matter. What the facts are, it has not yet been determined."

"What is a fact? What the people of the world believe has already become a fact. People's words are a fearsome tiger. Don't Master Wang understand this truth?"

"But, but this..." Having been an official for many years, Wang Lang naturally understood these principles, so he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Prime Minister, what's your opinion?" Zhao Shiyou didn't say a word in the courtroom this morning. He is Zhao Chen'er's grandfather. A reason for Concubine Chen's innocence, as long as this reason can slightly suppress everyone's mouths, a little bit is fine.

"People's words are terrible, what Master Zhu said is not wrong." Zhao Shiyou's voice was a little low, and everyone could hear the helplessness and sigh in it, but what can he do, the country cannot be destroyed in the hands of his Zhao family Li, "The old minister just asks that he can see Chen'er again. In addition, the old minister is old, and it's time to retire and return home."

When Zhao Shiyou walked into Chenyun Hall, Zhao Chen'er and An Ran knelt side by side in front of him, and seeing their hands holding each other tightly, he already understood that some things were not just rumors.

But he didn't have the strength to be angry anymore.Zhao Chen'er played the piano and made tea for him, and began to chat about his childhood.

For the whole afternoon, An Ran sat quietly and listened without interjecting a word. Then she realized that Chen'er was not pampered at home when she was a child. There were several older brothers who often bullied her, and two parents who favored her older brothers.

"Once your second brother drew a turtle on your face and told you that it couldn't be wiped off, so you pouted and ran to me crying, grandpa, Chen'er is not pretty. Now, will you not want Chen'er, and then tears and ink all over Grandpa's body, you were just as tall as a table at that time, and now you are so big, one more time..." Zhao Shiyou recalled bit by bit get up.

"Grandpa!" Zhao Chen'er hurriedly stopped Zhao Shiyou from continuing, and when an interesting childhood story was brought up, Zhao Chen'er glanced at An Ran, only to see her looking at him with a half-smile, and quickly turned her face away.

In Zhao Shiyou's eyes, this little girl's posture made his heart a little bitter.In his heart, the person who caused today's situation is himself. If he had prevented Chen'er from entering the palace, maybe it would not be the situation today.

"Okay, Chen'er, let's play a song for grandpa, I'm afraid it will be..." Zhao Shiyou didn't say this, but the three people present naturally understood what it meant.

"I'll go and get the good Yaoqin!" Zhao Chen'er was afraid that the atmosphere of peace would be embarrassing, so she quickly picked up the conversation, got up and took two steps, when she suddenly thought that only her grandfather and An Ran were left in the room, alone. Stubborn, an extreme duo.

Looking back at An Ran, then at Zhao Shiyou, both of them just buried their heads in drinking tea quietly, hesitated for a while, gritted their teeth, and walked quickly to the main hall.

"Prime Minister..." As soon as Zhao Chen'er's figure disappeared, An Ran put the teacup in her hand after school, and when she looked up, she realized that Zhao Shiyou was also looking at her.

"I'm not the prime minister anymore, if you don't mind, just follow Chen'er and call him grandpa."

"Grandpa...Grandpa." Since the death of her mother, An Ran has been alone for too long, the call of grandpa is not smooth, but it makes An Ran feel the long-lost family affection.Zhao Shiyou allowed her to call her Grandpa, which meant self-evidently, "Don't you blame me?"

"The matter has come to an end, what's the use of blaming anyone," Zhao Shiyou sighed, his tone was vicissitudes, "Have you seen Chen'er's appearance, she will be executed in a few days, but she is not afraid at all, she Looking at your demeanor, it seems that you are here, what is the secular world, what is death. I can't do this, her parents can't do it, you can do it, the old man has always been stubborn, if it was in the past, I wish I could do it myself Kill you. But I am old, I am old and soft-hearted, and I suddenly think of many things when I was young, I think of my wife, and when she died, I sat alone in the room silently. Let go of the worldly prejudice and think , your moods... must be no different."

These words made An Ran respect Zhao Shiyou from the bottom of her heart, looking at the old man who became more tolerant and warm because of losing her granddaughter, An Ran couldn't bear to see him sad.

"Actually, things are not without room for change. There is still a way, as long as I..."

"Miss An!" Zhao Shiyou interrupted An Ran, "Although this old man resigns, he can't do anything that would harm the court. You don't have to say anything, and you can't tell me, otherwise, I will definitely become your obstacle. "

"An Ran understands." An Ran nodded.For a person like Zhao Shiyou, if he was asked to choose between family affection and the country, he would definitely kill his relatives righteously, so there are some things that he chooses not to know.

"Understood what?" Zhao Chen'er came in with Qin in her arms, and happened to hear such a sentence, so she was very curious about what grandpa and An Ran had said during the short period of time she was away.

"Understood...Of course I understand how cute and angry you were when you were a child~" An Ran teased her.

"What..." Zhao Chen'er almost lost her temper, she just wanted to use the piano in her hand as a murder weapon, and slap An Ran on the face.

Zhao Shiyou and An Ran looked at each other, and even laughed out loud together, Zhao Chen'er was speechless for a moment, and after such a short while, these two became the same?She even wondered whether An Ran had given her grandfather some medicine from the southern and northern borders...

At night, Lu Jianli sat high on the dragon chair and looked at the blank imperial decree in front of her. A shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and An Ran appeared beside her generously.

"The forbidden army in the palace can't trap you at all." Lu Jianli sighed.

"There are only less than ten people, because you don't want to trap me. When you broke into the Eastern Chu Palace, you were the forbidden army inside and out."

"Actually, you can escape, but I can't catch you at all."

"It's okay for me to escape by myself, but Chen'er has to stay when I leave. Although there are only ten imperial guards in this Chenyun Palace, if you go outside, there must be a net of heaven and earth. I can't take her away. The eyes of the world They are all looking at you, Chen'er and I have to leave at least one grievance, right? So I don't want to leave, and I can't."

"So," Lu Jianli relaxed and leaned back on the chair, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "That resolute An Ran has been tied down by someone."

"That cynical Lu Jianli is not tied down by others, and I always thought that I was a person who valued affection. Wasn't I also obsessed with you back then?"

"But no matter how persistent you are, you will never risk your life for me, but now you will for Zhao Chen'er."

"Really?" An Ran was noncommittal, but she knew in her heart that what Lu Jianli said was right. She could do many things for Lu Jianli in the past, except die for her, because she felt that once a person died, the sacrifices he made during his lifetime were worthless. Accommodating would be meaningless.

But now, she strongly hopes that Zhao Chen'er can live in this world, and it doesn't matter if she trades her life for it. Regarding her transformation, An Ran doesn't think it's because her ideological awareness has become higher, and she puts the reason down to the root Because she is just a selfish woman, she would rather Zhao Chen'er live to think about her than herself to suffer from single thoughts.

She completely ignored it. If it wasn't for the deep love, she would be afraid of the torture of lovesickness.

Lu Jianli didn't continue this topic anymore, she pointed to the imperial decree in front of her and didn't say a word, calmly understood, raised the pen on the table, and finished writing the imperial decree in a fluttering motion.

"Didn't the people in the world want to see how miserable my witch ended up, so they beheaded me in accordance with the law, and then they wanted to hang my body on the top of the city to show the public, or just bury it, it's up to you." An Ran said calmly. After speaking, he took out a small medicine box from his bosom and put it beside the imperial decree, raised his eyes to stare at Lu Jianli, "As for Chen'er... help me."

Lu Jianli understood that An Ran had made up his mind, so he nodded and stopped talking, An Ran thanked Lu Jianli, turned and left.

The decree was conveyed the next day, and the imperial list also posted a notice. In the imperial decree, all the sins were pushed on An Ran, and she counted her evil methods in the early years, thus shaping Chen'er as a woman born out of love. The role of the ignorant and deluded victim.The imperial decree written by An Ran himself successfully transferred all the resentment and vicious curses to her. Although the people were still quite critical of Concubine Chen, they had a bit of sympathy.

So three days later, the demon girl beheaded to show her majesty, and the ignorant concubine gave poisoned wine to keep the whole body.

In Prince Mu's mansion, Prince Mu Mu Yi stood by the pond and watched the golden carp swimming around. Behind him, a guard quickly approached and handed over a letter, "My lord, a secret letter from Dongchu."

Mu Yi reached out to take it, and after unpacking and reading, the guard handed over the fire note, and the secret letter was turned into ashes the next moment.

"My lord, with Long Live Lord's previous methods, he wouldn't compromise so easily. I'm afraid this time the matter is not so simple. Do you want your subordinates..."

"No need, Zhao Shiyou resigned, and the situation between the government and the opposition will soon begin to change. Besides, Lu Jianli must have discovered that someone is fanning the flames this time. We are foxes and he is a wolf. A smart fox must know when We should put our tails back so that we won't be eaten by wolves, and finally put the wolves into a trap. After Dongchu annexed the Shang Kingdom, we haven't fully digested it. Now we have to wait, and wait for Dongchu to challenge our wise and mighty emperor. "When Mu Yi talked about being wise and martial, he obviously took a mocking tone.

"Forgive me for talking too much, my lord and Eastern Chu King Yi Yanrang are cooperating, is it possible that they are seeking skin from a tiger..."

"Tiger? Tigers have wolves as opponents." Mu Yi smiled, and threw the bait to the pond with a wave of his hand. The golden carp quickly surrounded them and scrambled to form a ball. "The fox only needs to give some bait, and then just watch the show." .”
