I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 83 Choice
It was early winter, and the night was cold. To take care of Xiao Feng's body, a pot of silver charcoal was burned indoors. It was not too warm, but dispelled the chill of early winter.

Wan Jinlan lay on her side on the bed in her pajamas, looking at Xiao Feng's face by the moonlight.

The eye sockets are sunken, the flesh on the cheeks is thin, the lips are extremely pale, and there is a gray and defeated air on the body.

She has long been used to him like this, silent and quiet, and she doesn't feel afraid in her heart, her fingers are still tracing his face carefully.

In the past few days, even if she said some annoying and specious words, he would not respond, as if he had fallen into the deepest sleep.

When her father left, she told her not to act rashly. If something happened, she would not be able to explain to the Queen Mother.

Father sent someone to track down Yu Shuisheng's whereabouts, but he didn't know that it took years of monkeys to find him.Perhaps, by the time he finds someone, Xiao Feng has reached his limit.

There was a slight sound from the window, and Wan Jinlan sat up vigilantly and got out of bed.

A shadow was cast over the moonlit window, and when the black figure walked to the side of the bed and was about to lift the bed curtain, Wan Jinlan took a hammer and smashed the back of the intruder.

"It's me, Xiao Zheng."

Xiao Zheng hurriedly made a sound, narrowly dodging the giant hammer behind him, and hit the bed frame, making a sound that was very ear-piercing in the night.

Chun Tao was in the outside room, she was sleeping in a daze, when she heard the movement, she lit the lamp, "Master, what's the matter?"

Wan Jinlan pressed the giant hammer on Xiao Zheng's chest, and said in a loud voice, "It's all right, turn off the lights, and go outside to guard first."

Chuntao frowned and went to the outer room, out of the main hall, and closed the door.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Zheng smiled wryly, and pointed to the hammer on his chest, "Can you take it away first?"

Wan Jinlan remained unmoved, "What are you doing here?"

The war in the south of the Yangtze River is tense. If he doesn't make contributions in front of King Guangling, what is he doing in the Prince Qi's Mansion in Kyoto?
Her aunt's son Xiao Lang is quite favored by King Guangling, so Xiao Zheng doesn't have any sense of urgency?
Xiao Zheng changed his posture and put his hands behind his head to make himself look less embarrassed.

"I'll repay you." He regained his composure and composure, "If the emperor doesn't save you, it will be hopeless."

Wan Jinlan's pupils dilated, and he pressed down hard with the hammer in his hand, Xiao Zheng let out a muffled groan.

"You did it?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head, "It's not me, but I can save him, as long as you send me Kang Ning out of the capital, I can give you the antidote."

Wan Jinlan was furious, "Are you repaying me?"

At Lishan Palace that day, she carried Princess Kangning down from the mountain all the way and saved her child. When she saved people, she didn't think of repaying them, but now listening to his so-called "repaying", why is it so hateful.

Although Xiao Zheng was wronged, he had to do so.

"Why didn't you try to take her with you when you left! Now that you have given up, what are you doing when you come back?"

Xiao Zheng remained silent.

He has been a hostess in Beijing for many years, although he has correspondence with his father, he doesn't get involved much in his father's affairs.

Still after his father was called to Beijing, his father told him personally that the emperor planned to poison him, and his father had to be "sick" in Beijing in order to relax the emperor's vigilance against him and plan more time.

It is the best time to choose the emperor to flee back to Guangling when he travels to the Lishan Palace.

The father also told her that if he kept the pregnant Kang Ning, he could buy him more time.

He is the son of his father, and the eldest son of his father's original spouse. Because staying in Beijing is a hostage, he can only marry a former bloodline like Princess Kangning who has no name and no family background, but Xiao Lang Growing up beside his father, he thought, why should he be a hostage in Beijing, if things come true in the future, but he will be missing?Let Xiao Lang stand alone in front of his father.

He doesn't want to!
When he left, he made up his mind, but these days, he regretted it.

When his father sent him to the capital to handle errands, his heart jumped up again.

Kang Ning was not very beautiful, but he was devoted to him. He thought that taking her back under the arrangement of his father was exactly what he wanted, and he was considered affectionate and righteous to her.

Xiao Zheng's eyes were complicated, even though the moonlight was bright, Wan Jinlan couldn't see it clearly.

"I hand you over to Your Majesty..."

Xiao Feng interrupted her, confidently, "The emperor's uncle will definitely die."

"Wan Jinlan, in order to repay your kindness, this son kindly informs you of a piece of news."

Xiao Zheng lowered his voice, "The Emperor and Uncle Qi are not siblings from the same mother."

Wan Jinlan looked shocked.

"Now the emperor is seriously ill, but King Rui, who was born to his beloved woman, died in the battle. Do you think the emperor suspects that King Qi also has the heart to fight for the throne?"

Wan Jinlan didn't care what he said later, and asked: "Is it His Majesty, not the Empress Dowager, or King Qi?"

Xiao Zheng stared at her in the night: "Wan Jinlan, you're so smart, can't you guess it?"

At this time, Wan Jinlan's thoughts were flooded, not knowing where to think of it, and she sorted out everything carefully.

First of all, Xiao Zheng and King Guangling know a lot, and they have a good grasp of the situation in Kyoto.

Xiao Zheng didn't give her time to think, and said directly: "Within ten days, if you want to save the emperor uncle, you can bring Princess Kangning out of the North Palace and send it to..."

"Uncle Huang can't last long."

Xiao Zheng took the hammer off his chest, pushed open the window, and disappeared into the night without a sound.

Wan Jinlan got up, called Chuntao back, and then went to bed to think about the news that Xiao Zheng revealed today.

After thinking for a while, the drowsiness disappeared, Wan Jinlan frowned, lying on her side with her head pressed against her arms.

My aunt once said that the queen mother took her majesty away to Tanzhou, but Xiao Feng was left in the capital.

These years, Xiao Feng was not close to the Queen Mother at all because of what happened back then.

So, Xiao Feng wasn't the empress dowager's own?

Wan Jinlan shook his head. It doesn't make sense. No matter whether Xiao Feng is the Queen Mother's son or not, he is the Queen Mother's direct son and has no influence on the overall situation. Compared with His Majesty, he is insignificant. Therefore, he There is no need to falsify your identity.

There is only one possibility left, that His Majesty is not the Empress Dowager herself.

She had heard all about the past from her aunt, so she knew very little about it, so she couldn't figure out why even if she guessed it here.

Xiao Zheng wants to save Princess Kangning, will she save or not?
Princess Kangning is the wife of the traitor Xiao Zheng, it is important if it is important, and it is not important if it is not important.

Xiao Zheng fled back to Guangling and left him directly, which meant that Princess Kangning was useless.

But just because it's useless doesn't mean she can save people.

Wan Jinlan thought about it, but she didn't know when she fell asleep.

On the second day, she simply handed over the sign and entered the palace.

If she can't decide, leave it to the Queen Mother.

She has very few people in her hands, and it will be very difficult to take Princess Kangning out of the hands of the Imperial Guard.

If her guess is true, Xiao Zheng is the only biological son of the empress dowager, how could the empress dowager let King Qi do nothing.

The queen mother can bear the consequences if she does something, but she can't.
