The voice fell, and the servants in the house summoned the imperial physician. Before I could ask any more questions, they hurried in.

When I was stunned, the eunuch of the East Palace sent me to go there on the order of the prince. There was nothing to do, so I went with it. Unexpectedly, when I stepped into the study, I found Song Langsheng also, he and Jingyan were staring solemnly. Wooden box on the table.

I don't know why, "What's wrong?"

When Jingyan saw me coming, he lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, "Sister Huang, something is not going well. The former military talisman you brought back from the cellar of Wanfengang that day turned out to be fake."

I was slightly taken aback, "How is that possible?"

Song Langsheng picked up a piece of military talisman, "The former military talisman was in the shape of a fish. The monarch and the general held half each in their hands. When combined, they can lead ten thousand troops. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with these military talismans, but I When I was young, I saw my father play with this military talisman, and the characters engraved on the bottom of the talisman are not the same as this, and it must have been forged by someone."

I picked it up and looked at it carefully, and realized that what he said was true, "But I did take it out of King Rui's secret place, how could it be false?"

Song Langsheng said: "The engraving of this military talisman is still new. It doesn't look like it has been sealed in dust for several years. Nine times out of ten, it was replaced by someone later."

I looked at Jingyan, Jingyan shook his head and said, "Since the time you brought back to the palace, Huangjie, I have seen this military talisman a hundred times a thousand times, and these are the ones in front of me. Besides, this matter is very important, I immediately hid it in the palace. A very secret place, it is impossible to give others any opportunity..."

I was puzzled, and Song Langsheng suddenly asked me, "After the princess came out of the tunnel, did this military talisman pass through someone else's hand?"

the hands of others?

At that time, I was chased by Feng Li, jumped to the edge of the cliff to protect myself, and then...

"It's Nie Ran!" I finally came back to my senses, "At that time, I was stabbed by a branch, and my whole body was injured, and I fainted for a few days. Later, Nie Ran appeared and rescued me, but at that time, I had no time to worry about any military talismans. When I woke up, Nie Ran returned the military talisman to me..."

Jing Yan slammed the case, "Sure enough, he is a fraudster. He has obviously replaced the real military talisman, but he has deceived everyone by pretending to be!"

Song Langsheng said slowly: "Nie Guang let Nie Ran stay in the capital to let us take it lightly, and use Feng Li to make a style làng in the capital so that we have no time to care about him, and they are only afraid that they have used those military talismans to secretly communicate with the old man. The vassal kings of the dynasty have assembled more troops and are ready to go..."

Jingyan said with a sullen face: "The most unpredictable thing is that Nie Ran is actually the son of the previous emperor. Nie Guang has hidden his identity for so many years, and used his concubine and Huangjie to gain the strength of King Rui, and then he will definitely be Nie Ran. To correct his name, openly raise troops under the banner of restoring the country... Oh, he really was a good minister of the previous dynasty!"

Song Langsheng said: "The most urgent task now is to increase the strength of the troops to hunt down Nie Ran. Nie Ran's bones are scattered and he shouldn't be able to run too far. With the military talisman of the previous dynasty, it may not be able to order the masses."

Jing Yan nodded again and again, got up and discussed with Song Langsheng about the decision to dispatch troops. I tilted my head to look at the military talisman in the brocade box, and remembered that Nie Ran gave me the antidote to save me, and he obviously should have stayed overnight. I escaped but I stayed in Prince Yu’s mansion until dawn. If he was really arrested, the father and the prince would definitely kill the monkey to avoid future troubles, but then, can I really be ruthless?

"A Tang..." Song Langsheng patted me on the shoulder, "What are you thinking, keep wandering..."

When I came back to my senses, I realized that we had already walked out of the East Palace. There was no snow tonight, but it was still freezing cold. I said, "...I was just thinking about what the emperor said to me..."

Song Langsheng closed his robe for me, took my hand and said, "Prince still hopes that I can lead the troops to hunt down Nie Ran, after all, I have been by Nie Guang's side for a long time, and I am used to guarding the Nie family. The route is more familiar.”

I nodded and smiled, "You're leaving now? Didn't you say you want to stay by my side forever?"

"That's why I wanted to ask you if you want to come with me?" Song Langsheng looked at me and saw that I was a little embarrassed, "I was negligent, you shouldn't want to see him...A Tang, anyway, the princess' mansion hasn't been repaired yet. Well, you stay in the palace and accompany the emperor well, I will try to come back to accompany you within ten days..."

There was a smile between his brows, making people unable to take their eyes off him, I couldn't help but hug him and bury my face in his chest, "Do you remember..."

He stroked my head gently, "How could I forget the day we got married?"

My nose was sore, and I hugged even tighter, only to hear him say, "That year I was taken to the mansion by you, and on the day of my marriage, I told myself not to forget the shame of today..."

I:"……"

Seeing me glaring at me, he leaned over to my ear and said softly, "Fortunately, when I was at Jade Dragon Villa today, I was ashamed..."

I squeezed his waist hard with my hands.

The corners of his mouth twitched, "I'll be ashamed again when I come back in a few days. Princess remember to wait for me."

"...You can go, don't send..."

For the next few days, I stayed in the palace obediently as he said, accompany the father and the emperor, and after seeing my mother, I looked for Jiayi, took a walk, and lived peacefully and peacefully.

The emperor's health has improved, and he can also go to the court to discuss politics, but he more often let Jingyan handle the affairs of the state, and put a lot of power in Jingyan's hands. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are not blind. meaning.

After the ceremony of sacrificing heaven, Jingyan's behavior became more and more like a king. With the support of the cabinet Zhao Shoufu and Li Cifu, his future throne was already solid.

Although I am a little disturbed that his body is weaker due to the heavy government affairs, except for the time of the court, the heating furnace is not away from the body, and the soup is served every day. Take more rest and don't overwork yourself.

I think that the father and emperor always have a condensed expression on his face. If the crown prince falls down overwhelmed, then the future is really worrying.

This is why the father emperor began to consider the prince marrying a concubine, and the royal family had to add heirs as soon as possible.

Originally, Jingyan had a favorite woman, but later, because of her family background, she was only a daughter of the same six rank, and she was accepted as a good concubine.

Zhao Yanran, the daughter of Zhao Shoufu's daughter, is naturally an ideal candidate. The royal father was quite happy when he heard that Zhao Gengnian had agreed to this marriage. Who knew that Zhao Gengnian hurriedly entered the palace and cried: his daughter was kidnapped by the traitor Nie Ran, please beg The emperor and prince sent troops to rescue.

Zhao Yanran was kidnapped by Nie Ran?

I think it's a bit absurd, but seeing Zhao Shoufu's anxiety and distress, it doesn't seem like a fake.

The royal father comforted Zhao Gengnian, saying that the prince had already sent troops to chase him, and if he really saw Ling Qianjin, he would definitely bring her back safely.

I rubbed my eyebrows and thought, I was afraid that I might not be able to bring her back when I saw Ling Qianjin.

Sure enough, after going down to court, Zhao Geng came to my Changle Hall a few years ago to talk to me about something important.

I screened everyone back, and before I could ask, Zhao Gengnian knelt down and said tremblingly, "The old minister begs the princess to save the little girl's life..."

I hurriedly helped him get up, "Why did Mr. Zhao say this? Since this palace regards Yanran as a friend, it will save her..." Seeing Zhao Gengnian shaking his head and sighing bitterly, I asked, "No, it's not that Nie Ran took Yanran away, but Did Yanran follow him by herself?"

"The remarks made by the princess to the old minister that day made the old minister think hard for a long time, and finally told the little girl that if she does not want to marry the prince, the old minister will not force it, as long as the old minister is loyal to the emperor and the prince, the Zhao family will not be implicated... Zhao Gengnian lowered his eyes, "The little girl was very happy when she heard it. Who would have guessed that the news of the arrest of Nie Ran would come in a few days from the capital. That night she left a book and left, saying that she wanted to confirm Nie Ran's safety and come back..." …”

I sighed lightly: "Yanran, Yanran, how smart she is, this palace promised to keep Nie Ran's life under the threat of the prince's marriage, but now that Nie Ran has escaped from the capital, she thought that I might not keep the promise, so she went there in person. If she can get to Nie Ran's side, she will be a very good hostage. Even if the pursuers catch up, for the sake of the daughter of the Zhao family, she would not dare to kill them all. safely……"

Zhao Gengnian opened his mouth, and I said, "Based on what I know about Nie Ran, he will not embarrass the daughter. If Yanran wants to leave, she can come back at any time, but her heart is there, I'm afraid I can't do anything..."

Zhao Gengnian was silent for a while, and finally said: "That's why the old minister came to ask the princess for help... and only you, the princess, can bring back the little girl..."

"This……"

"Princess," Zhao Gengnian took a step back and knelt down again, "Old minister has only one daughter, Yanran. If she has any mistakes, this old minister..."

I finally agreed to Zhao Shoufu.

He is indeed scheming, knowing the grievances between me and Nie Ransuri, as long as I can make Nie Ran say something cruel to Zhao Yanran, Yanran will naturally give up and leave.

But this way, I will face Nie Ran again.

Just three days after I left Beijing, news came from Qingzhou that Song Langsheng had captured the traitor Nie Ran and was now in prison.

My place is not far from Qingzhou, and after a long night's drive, I finally arrived at the place.

Chapter 55

As soon as he arrived at the Qingzhou Yamen, he heard that Zhao Shoufu's daughter was injured when the officers and soldiers captured the traitor. Fortunately, Lord Song rescued him in time, and there was no danger of his life. When I asked how she was injured, the prefect of Qingzhou hesitated and didn't know how to answer, but only said that Zhao Qianjin had settled in his mansion to rest and sent someone to take care of her, and there would be no serious problem.

It was already the second watch, and the people in Song Langsheng and his party were still resting in the post house. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to visit Zhao Yanran first. If she is not in serious trouble, I don't need to do anything.

As soon as anyone wanted to enter the mansion, there was a great commotion, the maids in the mansion looked flustered, and the doctors hurried to the inner courtyard.

It turned out that Zhao Yanran was committing suicide.

Maybe it can't be said that she is making trouble. The doctor said that the strength of her wrist cutting was unequivocal. It took a lot of effort to stop the bleeding.

The prefect was already so frightened that his face was ashen. Apart from scolding the servant girl who was serving him, he could only beg my forgiveness tremblingly.

I don't think he can be blamed for such a thing, after all, I am also a very experienced person in suicide. If a person really wants to die, he can die by burying his head in the bed and biting his tongue. How can others stop him?

Fortunately, Zhao Yanran's life should not end. She stopped the bleeding and poured the medicine into a deep sleep. In the short term, she should not have the strength to bite her tongue.

I asked the little maids who were too scared to find the north to retreat, and went into the room alone to sit with Zhao Yanran.

Zhao Yanran's face was bloodless, and her body trembled unconsciously. The thick bandage on her left wrist was still oozing blood, and there was also a thin sword on her neck.

I closed my eyes, as if I could imagine the scene when Zhao Yanran asked Nie Ran to hold her with a long sword, and when Song Langsheng was approaching, she did not hesitate to lean on the sword to fend off the encircling soldiers.

The bloodstains on her neck were extremely shallow, which should have been the result of Nie Ran's timely movement of the sword.

I sighed, I don't know how to convince Yanran to let go of this obsession, even I myself will not die if I don't hit the wall, so how can my words be convincing.

I made the quilt for her and was about to get up and leave when I saw her slowly opening her eyes. I didn't expect her to wake up so quickly. She didn't think about what to say for a while, but she gritted her teeth and sat up, looked at me quietly and said, "Princess...why are you here?"
