The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 153
Ran Hai returned to the mansion, freshened up briefly, and first listened to his servants talk about the recent situation in the capital.Then he changed his clothes and went to the palace to see the empress dowager.

When Ran Hai came to the Palace of Compassion, he saw that Ran Yunmo was also there. After the father and daughter recounted the past, the empress dowager told Ran Hai about the arrangements she had made after receiving Ran Hai's letter. Ran Hai nodded after thinking for a while and said : "Stealing the jade seal is indeed a way, but it is also a risky move. If you succeed, you will be king, and if you lose, you will be bandit."

The Empress Dowager seemed to be referring to something in Ran Hai's words, and asked a little puzzled: "Did something happen? Otherwise, you never have room for your words."

"Oh, the emperor is probably not dead."

"What? Doesn't the medicine called Mo Luotang work?" The empress dowager asked in surprise.

"No, the emperor almost understood it. The high priest from the southern border who came out on the way may be able to cure the poison on Ye Junyan's body." Ran Hai explained.

The empress dowager frowned and thought about it, then asked: "What about Mo Xiaotang, didn't he stop this matter?"

Ran Hai shook his head helplessly and said, "Mo Luotang is dead."

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed suddenly when she heard the words, and even Ran Yunmo who was beside her couldn't help saying: "Mo Luotang is dead, and the chief is also dead. What kind of saint is Gu Xinning? , also stood at Gu Xinning's side. So now the whole southern border is Gu Xinning's backing?"

Ran Hai nodded while sighing.

Seeing this, the three of them fell silent. The current situation is just like what Ran Hai said just now. The empress dowager finally understood why Ran Hai said that she arranged to steal the jade seal. Once the matter is revealed, when Ye Jun said that he will return to the court, he will take advantage of the situation and wipe out the Ran family, and even himself, the empress dowager, will inevitably be in danger.

The empress dowager was silent for a while and said: "If you don't try to recall Hui'an, let him stop his actions and wait and see what happens."

Ran Hai shook his head and said: "No, since we've already done it, we're not afraid to do it to the end. Even if we stop now, Ye Junyan won't let us go easily when he comes back. Ye Junyan wants to get rid of us for a long time. Let's fight one last time."

At this time, Xiao Huizi has already summoned a few people who are good at light work outside the palace. For Hui'an, he can rest assured that he will be with Ran Yunmo for a long time after completing this matter. Based on the relationship and people, these few masters who are also well-known in the Jianghu have been recruited.

You must know that once the plan is successful, the country of Zhaoxuan Kingdom will change hands, and the one who will be the king is his son. Although he is not destined for the throne, but having his own son honor his ancestors for him is enough for him to risk his life to do this. up.

Among the people Hui'an called, there were famous thieves who were famous for a while, and there were thieves who robbed thousands of households at night.Watching several people turn over and leap into the palace, Huian also quietly entered the palace, and waited in a corner that had been discussed earlier.

Under the guidance of the map that Huian handed over to everyone, several master thieves easily bypassed several teams of guards and came to the palm printing department.After entering the palm printing department, after some searching, they soon found Yuxi.

According to the original plan, several people sneaked to the pre-agreed place and handed the jade seal to Hui'an, and then they left the palace under Hui'an's guidance.With great excitement, Huian put Yuxi in his arms and hurried to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to return to his life.

When the empress dowager heard that she had taken the jade seal, she was very excited, and thought to herself, "It seems that the world will soon belong to the Ran family." '

After feeling complacent for a while, the empress dowager immediately ordered Hui'an to go out of the palace overnight to meet Ran Hai, saying that the things had been obtained, and let Ran Hai enter the palace to discuss matters tomorrow.

After Huian took the order, he quietly sneaked out of the palace again, came to the prime minister's mansion to meet Ran Hai, and conveyed the empress dowager's intentions to Ran Hai.

After hearing this, Ran Hai was in a happy mood, and praised Hui'an: "Hahaha, yes, the old man knew that you are capable of doing things that day. You have raised soldiers for thousands of days, and finally put them to good use. Good, very good."

Hui'an was praised secretly, proud in his heart, bowed his face calmly and said: "It's all about the master's training, the younger ones don't dare to take the credit, it's their duty to do things for the master."

Ran Hai looked at Hui'an with a sneer and said, "I'm afraid it's not just doing things for me. Concubine Yun is pregnant with your flesh and blood. This is the motivation for you to work hard. But I want to warn you, it's best to forget that you are The matter of the child's father, otherwise."

Ran Hai's conversation suddenly changed between Hui'an, knowing that Ran Hai was suspicious and wary of him. After all, Ran Yunmo was pregnant with his own flesh and blood at that time. If the child in Ran Yunmo's womb really became the emperor, Ran Hai would naturally He will become No.1 in Zhaoxuan Kingdom, but as the father of the child's piano sound, Huian, doesn't he want to benefit from it?
Of course Hui'an wants to, and he really wants to, but Hui'an also knows that the fact that he is the father of Ran Yunmo's unborn child is a big secret, and at any time, as long as it is revealed, it will be a crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family. , this can't help but for Huian, even Ran Yunmo and Ran Hai are the same, so keeping this secret is the only way to keep everyone's name.

Ran Hai would not be ignorant of Hui'an's desire to profit from it, but Ran Hai must let Hui'an know the seriousness of the whole matter, and must let Hui'an dispel the idea of ​​relying on the child in Ran Yunmo's belly to make a fortune.He is a eunuch now, and will always be a eunuch, and he can never mention to others that he has a son.

Otherwise, even if others don't kill Hui'an, Ran Hai will be the first to get rid of this thorn in his side.Hui'an nodded vigilantly and said: "Yes, the prime minister taught Hui'an to remember, this matter has rotted in Hui'an's stomach since then, and he never dared to mention a word to outsiders."

After hearing this, Ran Hai nodded and said, "Hui'an, you'd better remember that no matter how Concubine Yun protects you, you will always be my slave. Concubine Yun is my daughter, so remember your position at any time, don't act Things to regret."

Hui'an was getting a little impatient, but still had no choice but to listen and agree.

Seeing Hui'an's respectful attitude, Ran Hai felt that it was meaningless after saying a few words, so he waved his hand to let Hui'an back down. Before leaving, Ran Hai explained to Hui'an that he would go to the palace to see the empress dowager tomorrow, and asked the empress dowager to come At that time, I notified Concubine Yun to go together, and discuss with each other.

After Hui'an took the order, he returned to the palace and returned to his order.

On the second day, Ran Hai dressed up early in the morning and went out to enter the palace.As soon as he left the mansion, he saw an official sedan chair coming towards him. Judging from the rank of the official sedan chair, it was a first-rank official title in the imperial court.

Needless to say, Ran Hai already knew that the person who came was Du Wangshan. In a short while, Du Wangshan's sedan chair had stopped in front of the prime minister's mansion, and Du Wangshan came out of the sedan chair to meet Ran Hai.

Ran Hai knew that the other party was not kind, but he didn't want to break his face, so he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, cupped his fists, and said with a big smile: "Oh, Master Du, what brought you here? You are a rare guest ah."

Du Wangshan clasped his fists and responded with a smile: "It's not that I heard that Prime Minister Ran returned to Beijing yesterday, and he hasn't seen him for a few days. I'm thinking about it, so I'm here to express my condolences, and by the way, ask how the emperor is doing. Why is the prime minister going out?"

Ran Hai heard that Du Wangshan was testing him, so he quickly said with a smile: "My Lord Du, please don't call me Prime Minister anymore. Ran is only a fourth-rank official now, but he doesn't know the word "Prime Minister". Beijing, I’m going to visit the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun in the palace, I haven’t seen you for a few days, so I don’t know how they are doing.”

Du Wangshan frowned and said: "Oh? But I heard from people in the palace that the Prime Minister has been to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun from time to time yesterday, is there something that has not been explained yet? "

Ran Hai felt guilty when he heard the words, although he entered the palace in a fair manner yesterday, but Du Wangshan knew about it so quickly, and made a special trip to find him today, so it can be seen that Du Wangshan has been sending people to monitor him, maybe from his first One step into the capital, all his movements are already in the hands of Du Wangshan.

Thinking of this, Ran Hai couldn't help sweating from his forehead, he quickly smoothed things over with a smile and said, "Haha, Mrs. Du is really well-informed. I just came back yesterday and Mrs. Du started to pay attention to me. It's not a big deal, just some I didn't finish talking yesterday, since Mr. Du is here, please come inside."

Du Wangshan glanced at Ran Hai, and said with a smile: "Since your lord is not in a hurry, then I will bother you? I just want to know about the current situation of the emperor."

Ran Hai smiled and sideways moved Du Wangshan into the mansion, and said with a smile: "Don't disturb, don't disturb, please."

After entering the mansion, Ran Hai ordered people to bring tea to Du Wangshan, and then Ran Hai described some key points to Du Wangshan about some things that happened while the emperor was on the expedition. After all, on the one hand, if the emperor is healed, he will come back sooner or later, and the truth will come to light sooner or later.

The second is that during the whole process this time, I was secretly cooperating with Mo Luotang, and I didn't have anything to do with it, so there was no need to hide anything.

When asked why Ran Hai returned early alone, Ran Hai said that when the emperor saw that the situation in southern Xinjiang had stabilized, and that the emperor was not feeling well, he still needed to recuperate in southern Xinjiang for a period of time. Knowing that Ran Hai cared about his family, he granted Ran Hai Hai first returned to Beijing to reunite with his family.

After listening to Ran Hai's words, Du Wangshan smiled and said: "Well, the situation in southern Xinjiang is stable, so Du can feel at ease. I hope the two countries can enter peace and stop fighting."

After Du Wangshan finished speaking, he looked at Ran Hai, who nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I hope the two countries can live in peace from now on."

Du Wangshan continued to focus on Ran Hai and said, "Prime Minister Ran, did you hear that there was a thief entering the palace last night?"

Ran Hai was startled when he heard the words, and thought, "Why did Du Wangshan mention this to me at this time?"Is he suspicious of me? '

But Ran Hai turned around and thought about it, that's right, such a big thing happened to him just after returning to the palace, it is inevitable that people will think about himself, but only Ran Hai knows that even if he didn't come back yesterday, this matter The same thing will happen, because the whole thing is not arranged by him from the beginning to the end, but Ran Hai can only understand this kind of thing in his heart, and cannot clarify it.

Ran Hai could only pretend to be surprised and asked: "Huh? There is such a thing, is there anything missing in the palace?"
