Chapter 68
Duoduo opened his eyes wide and looked at Yan Ji, as if his mother was not normal today.

"Mother, I was hungry at first, but suddenly I wanted to go to the bathroom again, so I went to the latrine, and it's so nice to have a good meal after emptying my stomach..." He said and touched his own abdomen.

"Mother, is there anything to eat in the kitchen? I'm starving to death, I can't do it, I need to find something delicious!" Duoduo hurried into the kitchen before Yan Ji could respond.

Yan Ji stood there but felt a little helpless.

"Duoduo, why did you trick Zhan Lingze into my room today, and said that I was looking for him, what is your intention..."

Duoduo was eating the pastry he had just found, but when he heard Yan Ji's question, he was taken aback suddenly, it's over, mother is going to question herself.

"Ah, mother, is this pastry broken? My stomach hurts again, no, no, I have to go to the toilet again!"

While talking, he hurried out and ran out.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ji grabbed her and looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Stop playing tricks, how can I not know your careful thinking? Tell me, why did you play with your own mother?" Yan Ji interrogated Duoduo with a strict mother's attitude.

Duoduo thumped in his heart, it's over, my mother doubted herself, I didn't expect my mother to be so powerful, no matter what, I couldn't admit it!

"Mother, Duoduo and Mother have been dependent on each other for many years. How could they betray Mother? Mother should believe in Duoduo's character. Duoduo was cultivated by Mother alone. Uncle Zhan really told me that he wanted to find you at that time." Ah, I just conveyed it, if you don’t believe me, ask him!”

That's great, Yan Ji didn't even ask, Duoduo herself was betrayed because of a guilty conscience.

"Huh? I haven't said what it is yet... You didn't tell yourself! You dead boy... Look at me not spanking your ass..." Yan Ji stretched out her hand and raised it high, looking like she wanted to Play a lot.

"Mother, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first, I can't do it!"

Duoduo hurried away.

It seemed that she really couldn't control the child more and more, Yan Ji shook her head helplessly on the spot.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Ji and her party were about to set off again. Because the day of offering sacrifices to heaven was imminent, they had to rush to Huohai City as soon as possible to subdue the monsters.

The three thieves who were forgiven by them also left early in the morning, and they planned to go to the capital.Obviously, the capital city is under the foot of the emperor, and there are more opportunities for development. Although it is also a place of right and wrong, everything has two sides.

They also knew the stakes. If they hadn't made a mistake here and were subdued by Yan Ji and others, they might have gone astray in the future, and they would never turn around. They didn't expect that these young princes and girls were not only strong in martial arts, but also superior in intelligence. People, more importantly, have a benevolent heart.They were forgiven and received unexpected funding. No matter what happens in the future, they will not forget these people who have been kind to them.

After the three thieves left, Yan Ji and the others also set off. Before leaving, the proprietress and her shop assistants still watched them leave with expressions of gratitude.

In the palace, Lanxin Garden
A man hurried into Concubine Lan Gui's bedroom, flying over the eaves and walls to hide his eyes and ears.

"You're here..." Concubine Lan Gui put down the book she was reading and said slowly.

The man smiled lightly, and then stepped forward.

"Concubine Lan Gui's hearing is really strong, my steps are already very light, but Concubine Lan Guifei still noticed it!"

Concubine Lan Gui was not slow, she turned around and looked at the man with a calm expression.

"If a person's mind is calm, everything will be quiet, and even the slightest noise in his ears will not be let go..."

A little bit of powder and daisy is applied, but it is full of elegance, and the faint orchid fragrance on Concubine Lan Gui's body is even more refreshing.

The man stepped forward and hugged the beauty in front of him who was still in his dreams.

Concubine Lan Gui became flustered and hurriedly looked outside the door.

"How can you behave so frivolously..." He threw the man away.

"Don't worry, I just observed carefully, there is no one near your bedroom..." The man said, but his eyes sparkled.

Unconsciously, he put his hand on Concubine Lan's neck, and began to stroke it slowly.

"Then don't be so careless... Why did you break into my bedroom like this in broad daylight? It would be bad if people found out..." Concubine Lan Gui suddenly became worried.

For this man, she knew very well in her heart that he intended to get close to her because he knew his true identity, and because he was deeply favored by the emperor, he was a very good chess piece for him, and he was also very powerful, so he also As her bargaining chip to achieve great things, the two of them have always been mutually beneficial, and only by cooperating can they achieve great things together.

Only then did the man calm down, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Actually, I came here this time because I learned a shocking news!"

Concubine Lan Gui was startled suddenly, "Oh, what's the news?"

"Zhan Lingze is--the--son-son of--father--emperor!" The man said every word with a gloomy face.

Concubine Lan was terrified after hearing this.

No wonder Zhan Lingze is only a hereditary prince, but he is deeply loved by the emperor, and he has been given so many privileges, even better than his own son.

Originally thought it was because of the early death of King Chang'an, and the emperor Gu Nian's brotherly love for his nephew was understandable, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason!
"Is your news accurate?" Concubine Lan Gui was still in disbelief.

"It's absolutely true, the emperor and Zhan Lingze met in the imperial study a few days ago...I'm afraid no one else would know the news, and the emperor deliberately concealed it from the outside world."

Concubine Lan Gui suddenly got up and took a step, thinking.

Before she could understand everything, the man spoke again: "And now there is a shocking news!"

Concubine Lan Gui stopped and looked at the man in confusion.

"The emperor issued a secret decree to let the national teacher and Zhan Lingze go to Huohai City to subdue the monsters. Now they have set off for a day..."

Concubine Lan Gui frowned tightly, with a worried expression on her face.

"So the emperor wants him to make great contributions, and intends to pave the way for him..."

The man was even more worried.

"Yes, Huohai City is now affected by monsters, and the disaster is also very serious. The father did this to bring him closer to the national teacher, and secondly, he intended to make him meritorious service. Could it be that he really intends to make him the crown prince?"

The man shook his head, and then said: "Zhan Lingze is very powerful, supported by the old power of the old King Chang'an, if the emperor really wants to help him now..."

Concubine Lan Gui was very unwilling, "I am afraid that if the emperor appoints him as the crown prince, it seems a bit unfair! Even if he is really the emperor's son, he will attract criticism..."

"But I am well aware of Father's temper. If he decides to do something, it is difficult to change, and Father's methods cannot be underestimated...

The man is still worried.

Concubine Lan Gui suddenly walked up to the man, her face full of sincerity and anticipation.

"Second prince... don't you want to be the emperor?" As he spoke, he reached out to caress the face of the second prince.

The second prince looked at the tenderness on Concubine Lan Gui's face, and put his arms around her slender water snake waist.

"Of course I want... Don't worry... I will handle this matter well. Since the emperor wants him to make meritorious deeds, I will let him fail!"

The second prince's eyes were fierce, full of murderous intent.

"I will also take this opportunity to test the emperor to see what his intentions are..."

Concubine Lan looked at the second prince affectionately, her face was full of tenderness, her expression was charming...

Yan Ji and the others continued on the road, and after walking for half a day, they finally arrived at Qingfeng Town.

The carriage drove in, only to find that everyone in the town was rushing to the same direction.

"Mother, what's the matter with them, what are they doing in such a hurry?"

Duoduo lifted the small curtain of the window on the side of the carriage, and saw the messy scene in the town.

"Yeah, they all seem to be in a hurry to see something, otherwise why are they all running in one direction..." Yan Ji was also very curious. Generally speaking, only when strange things happened would people go to see them in groups , but she had never seen so many people rushing to one place.

"Go down and ask and you'll know..." Zhan Lingze said coldly.

So they all got out of the carriage.

Sikou Xunxiang blocked the way of an old man with a kind face.

"Mister, where are you going?" Si Kou Xun Xiang asked respectfully and politely.

The old gentleman looked at Yan Ji and the others, and then said: "You look like foreigners, you don't know, we are all going to the ancestral hall in the town, because there is a woman in the town who died before she left the cabinet. You are pregnant, so you will be burned at the stake!"

Yan Ji was shocked when she heard this.

"What is burning at the stake?"

The old man shook his head, let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm going to be tied to a rack and burned alive!"

Then the old man stopped talking and hurried towards the direction of the ancestral hall.

This... What is the truth? If you get pregnant before marriage, you will be burned to death!Yan Ji couldn't understand whether there was any humanity in this.

"Why, why did they use such cruel criminal laws on a woman? Is there any king's law in this place?"

Yan Ji became excited, she knew that her predecessor was the real Yan Ji, she was conceived out of wedlock, and it was because of this that people in the Yan Mansion wanted to kill her!Why do they care so little about human life...why do they have to be so cruel...

"Miss Yan, you don't know that apart from the yamen, the town also has its own rules. These rules are stipulated by some respected seniors. They have the right to enforce the criminal law by themselves, and they will also get the support of the yamen and the government. of!"

Bian Yifei couldn't understand seeing Yan Ji so excited. Although he did sympathize with that woman very much, the rules were set by the town, and no one could do anything about it.

"That's two lives... No... We have to stop this!"

Yan Ji immediately ran towards the direction of the flow of people.

Zhan Lingze's thoughts suddenly returned to seven years ago. At that time, he made a mistake because of his insanity.

It also made Yan Ji pregnant, and also caused her to be persecuted, so she fled to the remote Mobei as a last resort.He and Duoduo have suffered so much. Fortunately, he met Yan Ji and Duoduo again. However, the woman who is about to be burned at the stake is so lucky. Does she really have to pay such a high price for it? ?
