The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 162.Fall from the building

"I heard about you." Prince Guo whispered, "You seem to be discouraged?"

"Everything here is very dirty, and my Baijun Garden is the cleanest." Ye Lanyi looked into the distance, as if she wanted to see Yuanmingyuan through the high city wall.

Prince Guo looked at her side face, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said slowly: "Do you still remember that year? You were dying of high fever."

"Remember." Ye Lanyi blurted out, "That was seven years ago. I was about to die. No one paid attention to a humble slave like me. The prince accidentally saw me and asked the imperial doctor to save me." She is still grateful after mentioning it after many years.

"When I saved you, I didn't want to see you who gave up on yourself today." King Guo advised.

"But what can I do?" Ye Lanyi resisted almost tremblingly, but was helpless, "I can't go where I want to go, and the place where I stay makes me sick and makes people desperate."

"You have to protect yourself first. In my impression, Ye Lanyi has a beautiful smile and a resolute personality. No matter how miserable she is, she will always find a little sweetness to make herself happy." Prince Guo immediately advised her.He looked forward to spending the rest of his life with Huan'er. If the emperor still cared about her, it would always be a hidden danger. For him, the more new favorites the emperor had, the better.

Ye Lanyi held back the tears in her eyes and looked back at Prince Guo: "I have never been able to repay the kindness to the prince. Since the prince wants me to live well, I will definitely listen to the prince."

Prince Guo showed a smile and nodded towards her.

Ye Lanyi looked at the leaving figure of King Guo infatuatedly. She stood there for a long time. The cold wind blew in her face, making her eye circles sore and her vision slowly blurred. She held back to prevent tears from falling. When he came down, he put away his emotions in despair, and when he was about to leave, he saw a figure suddenly falling from another high-rise building at the end of his eyes.

With a sudden pause, Ye Lanyi hid behind the pillar as a reflex. After wiping away her tears, she stuck half of her head out and looked intently. She saw two figures on the tall building running away in panic. One of them was so weak that his feet were almost weak. Unable to walk, he was half dragged and half dragged away from the scene.

Ye Lanyi couldn't see her face clearly, only saw two figures from behind, and frowned deeply.

There are too many scandals in the palace. The red walls and black tiles look magnificent, but in fact there are many bones buried underneath, and the resentment is overwhelming and disgusting.Ye Lanyi didn't want to get involved in the chaotic fight in the harem, so she simply averted her eyes and turned to leave.

"The imperial brother seems to rarely let his younger brothers get involved in court affairs." King Guojun changed into court clothes and came to the Yangxin Hall to have an audience.

The emperor's face was gloomy and solemn, and he said: "The Albuba Rebellion broke out in XZ, and they intended to defect to the Jungar tribe. Although Polo Nai took the initiative to raise troops to put down the rebellion, I think that if the Jungar tribe is not in peace for one day, XZ's affairs will be the same. Japan is not appropriate. XZ affairs cannot be compromised, and Mongolians are suspicious of them. These two concerns are for the country."

He raised his eyes to King Guo, with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "Although I have appointed a minister in Tibet, and I am planning to use troops to join the Ge'er tribe, there are still many unresolved matters that require you to go to Yunnan and Tibet to investigate."

He had always disliked letting King Guo interfere in government affairs. When the Nine Kings were seizing the throne, Lao Qi seemed to be staying out of the matter, but in fact he was extremely ambitious.The emperor had known this for a long time. However, he had been cautious in these years and only wandered around the world, separated from the court, and had no power in his hands. The emperor was a little relieved.

In addition, Prince Yi passed away, and the emperor really could not find a second candidate.

Prince Guo's thoughts turned over and over again, and finally he said: "Although the emperor has your heart to entrust me, my brother is not talented." In the past, he would have been moved, but now he has more important things to do. .

In his sleeve was the fake death medicine he had just gotten from Wen Shichu. When the time came, he and Huan'er would fake their death to escape. From then on, they lived a happy life.

However, reality cannot be rejected by him.

The emperor only thought that he was deliberately evading it because of his own fears, and explained: "I want to use you because you are not involved in the government affairs much. If you go incognito, because there are few people who know you, it will be easier to do things. Now in Yunnan and Tibet There are many detailed works of Zhun Geer in this area, and I am afraid of alerting the enemy." After a pause, he added, "On the other hand, if troops are used against the Zhun Geer tribe, the fastest way to mobilize troops is from Gansu and Yunnan. Mrs. Shu The concubine is from Yunnan, so it would be most suitable for you to take a trip to Yunnan and Tibet."

Prince Guo's eyes flashed, and his ambition, which had been silent for a long time, slowly showed signs of recovery. He pursed his dry lips and said to the emperor: "Although my brother is not talented, since the emperor has asked me, naturally, You can't shirk it. I will definitely try my best."

"Okay." The emperor nodded, "Then you should tidy up and go back early."

After King Guo resigned, the emperor sat quietly for a while with deep eyes, and then called Su Peisheng: "It is reported that Zhang Tingyu has entered the palace."

Although he decided to let King Guo go to Tibet in Yunnan, the emperor was still not at ease. He said to Zhang Tingyu: "You have to send reliable people to protect you secretly. At the same time, you also need to prevent King Guo from interfering in politics too much. Every time he goes to Everyone must check clearly who they talk to and what they do, and report back in time.”

Zhang Tingyu looked slightly solemn and leaned forward to accept the order: "Yes."

After everything was arranged, the emperor relaxed and closed his eyes for a while.

"Your Majesty, today is the Double Ninth Festival. Do you want to go to Shoukang Palace to see the Queen Mother?" Su Peisheng called Qian in and asked, "Or are you going to have lunch at the palace of some mistress?"

The emperor stretched his stiff back, closed his eyes and said without thinking: "I will go to the Chunxi Palace to see Ye Yaosheng."

"Hey." This answer was unexpected by Su Peisheng, and he turned around and asked people to prepare a sedan to drive them out.

Unexpectedly, before I even went out, the sky would be dark and heavy. In the blink of an eye, a heavy downpour would fall, and the sky and the earth would become a dense curtain of water. The autumn rain would come late, and a cold chill would suddenly sweep away the residual heat of summer. It was so cold that one shivered.

"Why did it suddenly get cold today?" The emperor stood at the door of Yangxin Hall with his hands folded. He couldn't help shaking, but gave up the idea of ​​going to Chunxi Hall and continued to go back to review the papers.

"Your Majesty, this is the little seal of Weiyang Palace." Su Peisheng squinted and saw a figure running in the rain from a distance, and immediately called out to the emperor, "It's raining so hard, I'm afraid there is something important."

The emperor gave a muffled hum and looked in the direction of Su Peisheng's finger. After careful identification, he nodded: "It is indeed the person next to Rong'er." He took two steps in and said, "Let him shake off the rain later." Come in and answer.”

However, before the emperor could take two steps, Xiao Yinzi ran up to him. He was panting, looking panicked and pale. He stumbled on the steps and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop. His voice could not stop trembling: " Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Who's in trouble?" The emperor immediately thought of something and asked sharply. "Princess...Princess Ankang fell from the Chongyang Tower..."

An Lingrong felt like the world was spinning. She stood in the heavy rain and looked at Ankang lying in a pool of blood. A suffocating numbness climbed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her breathless.

An Lingrong staggered and fell next to Ankang, stretched out his hands to hug her into his arms: "Ankang... don't be afraid, E Niang is here... don't be afraid..."

However, the coldness of Ankang's body seeped in bit by bit, and An Lingrong couldn't stop shivering from the cold.

Her Ankang is so small and thin, weighing nothing in her arms. She always refuses to eat well, but she has endless energy. She never stops all day long, like a little sun, with a permanent glow on her face. With a smile on his face, when he gets angry occasionally, he can be coaxed by stomping his feet, and he will also act docile and flattering in return.

She is very well-behaved and very happy every day. Before going out this morning, she said, "I will go up high and plant dogwood trees during the Double Ninth Festival." She went out happily and said she was going to pick osmanthus flowers and come back to make osmanthus cakes.

But now, she was lying coldly in An Lingrong's arms, covered in blood.

An Lingrong cried blankly, the huge pain engulfed her. She opened her mouth silently, but the pain was like a dull pain in her heart. She couldn't cry out, her voice was hoarse, and she kept saying: "Ankang..." ...Eniang is here, open your eyes...look at Eniang..." She hugged Ankang tightly, "Eniang is holding you...I won't feel cold if I hold you..."

However, there would be no more "Eniang", and Ankang would never open his eyes again.

"Empress, please don't be too sad..." Dill held an umbrella and knelt beside her, but she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. "Princess...she has already gone..."

An Lingrong seemed not to have heard anything, but repeated and confirmed it over and over again. It wasn't until Ankang's pale and weak hand fell off and hit the mud that she was stunned for a moment, buried her head and screamed in pain: "Ah————ah ………”

Everyone knelt on the ground, letting the rain beat against them. Listening to the cries, they felt like a big hole was opened in their hearts, the cold wind poured in, and the world became dark and silent.

"Is the matter done?" In Jingren Palace, the queen leaned lazily on the couch, taking a sip from the tea cup, her expression as cold as frost.

Concubine Zhen was still calm, she lowered her eyes and said quietly: "Yes, Chongyang Tower is inaccessible, and it rained heavily, so there was no trace of evidence left."

The queen put down the tea cup and nodded: "That's good."

"Why..." Concubine Min sat down, her face turned pale with fright. Recalling the scene just now, her body still trembled unconsciously. When she looked at the queen, she saw her green face and fangs, and her face was like a ghost, "Why do you want to do this to me?" Ankang takes action? She is still so young...she is just a princess and poses no threat to you!"

The queen didn't take it seriously and smiled softly and gently: "But Concubine Rong loves her the most." She laughed softly, "I want her to be heartbroken. Only in this way will she remember it firmly. , in this palace, I am the real master, she is just a concubine, she can only crawl at my feet and be an ant."

She felt indescribably happy in her heart, as if the long-suppressed depression was shattered at this moment. The queen let out a long sigh and told Jianqiu without raising her head: "Xiuxia can be dealt with."

Jianqiu smiled clearly and leaned forward.

Min Bin sat on the stool, feeling cold all over her body. She raised her head tremblingly, and looked into the queen's smiling eyes. She trembled with fright and knelt down suddenly: "The queen..."

She was really scared.

After being threatened by the queen, Yu Guiren told her that the death of Queen Chunyuan was inseparable from the queen. She used this as a threat to force the queen to make concessions and only agreed to do one thing for the queen.

But Min Bin would never have thought that this incident would actually kill Ankang!She only received a message asking her to take Ankang to Chongyang Tower this afternoon, but nothing else was said.

At first, Min Bin felt strange as to why the Queen's request was so simple. Later, when she saw Zhen Bin appearing in Chongyang Tower, she subconsciously noticed something was wrong. Before she could figure it out, Zhen Bin reached out her hand and neatly Pushing Ankang down - if Zhenbi hadn't quickly covered her mouth with her eyes and hands, Minbin would have screamed on the spot.

Min Bin couldn't help but tremble.

An Lingrong will definitely not let her go.

She took Ankang away in front of An Lingrong, and she also opened the cardamom, and no one had seen the concubine, so she was the most suspect in this matter from the beginning to the end.

In this round, the Queen even plotted against Min Bin.

"Min Bin, you are indeed very smart, and you are worthy of the title bestowed upon you by the emperor. It's a pity that the agency was too clever, and it cost your life." The queen stood up with a smile, looking down at Min Bin from above, "You have this skill. If you are scared here, why not go back quickly and discuss with your good sisters on how to avoid Concubine Rong’s revenge.”

Minbi's eyes widened suddenly, and her whole body collapsed on the ground.

It turns out that the queen knows everything...

Concubine Zhen looked at Concubine Min with pity. She didn't know whether to lament that she was too arrogant or to ridicule her for being too smart. With her modest skills, let alone a queen, she was not enough in his own eyes. Sure enough, you are too young.

When we walked out of Jingren Palace, the rain had stopped, and the raindrops fell on the tiles, splashing puddles in circles.

Zhenbi looked coldly at Xiuxia who was gagged and tied out, and suddenly felt very tired for some reason.

She looked up at the sky after the heavy rain. The setting sun was covered in mist, and the blood was thicker, reflecting in her eyes, dyeing her eyes a dazzling scarlet.
