As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he couldn't hold it any longer. When his eyelids completely dropped, he fell into my arms and lost consciousness. He held my hand and still refused to let go.

I saw my own tears fall on his cheeks.

I know my brother too well.

Song Langsheng was a fugitive general, a deserter who violated military discipline and committed a capital crime. He is different from me, at least the eldest brother can't treat me openly, but he can execute Song Langsheng anytime, anywhere.

Song Langsheng would not stop me from going to Beijing to save Jingyan, but he would not allow me to go alone.

I once complained that he wouldn't die with me, but at this moment, even I couldn't do it myself.

A few figures stepped out of the backyard, and I said lightly: "With Song Langsheng's martial arts, he can't last for a quarter of an hour. Ming Jiansi's magic medicine is really effective."

They looked at each other and said, "The effect of this medicine can only last until tomorrow. If the concubine wakes up, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him from catching up with the princess."

Yes. Song Langsheng's scrutiny, he could think of the capital just by asking a question. Even if the medicine poured him out, he couldn't stop him. If you want to really trap him for a while, I'm afraid, you have to use the power of Ming Jiansi.

I looked at one of them, he was the general manager of Guangling Mingjian Division and the largest parental official in Guangling, "Sir He, please send someone to put Song Langsheng in jail, and after this month, you can arbitrarily arrest the wrong person. Just let the name out."

"This..." Lord He looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid he will..."

"He won't admit his identity. Since that's the case, you don't have to regard him as a concubine. As long as his food and shelter are not shorted, there will be no problem." I said: "It's just that, no matter what he says Don't worry about anything, adults must keep this in mind."

Lord He hesitated for a while, and finally nodded his head: "Subordinates obey orders."

I have already replaced those who should have been replaced and who should not have been replaced. Even if I wanted to stay a little longer, as long as I thought that Jing Yan's life was at stake, I knew that I couldn't afford to delay it for a moment.

"Asheng, it's okay, don't forgive me."

That was the last word I said to him in my heart. Even if he didn't hear it at all.

The heavy rain continued, and the horses hooves splashed with water. When I left this peaceful village, I suddenly remembered that there was only one fish left that I bought today, and it was alive and kicking in the bucket.

The author has something to say: the book is on the market, and it is available on Amazon, Taobao, and 囧囧~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for your support~~~= =~~~

Chapter 63: Fanwai II

Day and night, all the way to Beijing.

Along the way, there have been all kinds of rumors about the emperor's serious illness. Everyone said that the queen stumbled and fell on a cliff while praying for blessings. The country may change hands, and the throne will most likely fall back to the original Prince Qing. .

I think that all these news were distributed intentionally or unintentionally by Jing Lan. He placed himself in the position of the only successor, and for the past half a year, he has been doing quite well as a superintendent of the country. When the news of the emperor's death came, I am afraid that the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty would not hesitate to support him as the new emperor.

After thinking about it, I can't believe no matter what, that wise elder brother will become what he is today.

Why do I always feel that this style of behavior is quite similar to Feng Li, but haven't I witnessed Feng Li die in front of me?

I asked, "Is there anything I told you on the day of the feast? Is there anything more detailed?"

Cheng Tiezhong said, "His Majesty didn't actually talk to the servants too much. He ordered the servants to come to Guangling to find the princess, and let the princess go back to the palace to meet her. Your Majesty has something to say to the princess."

I nodded, "It seems that he has something to do with me personally."

Cheng Tiezhong paused for a while, then said again: "It's just that King Qing may not let the princess enter the palace now. Even if he does, he will follow the princess by his side and will not give the princess a chance to be alone with His Majesty."

"There will always be a way," I said, looking at the prosperous scenery of the capital in front of me, "Let's go."

When I went back to Beijing again, the first person I was looking for was the director of Mingjian Division, Tao Yuan. Tao Yuan had already received the news of my coming back. When we stepped into the tunnel and saw him, he solemnly knelt down and said: : "The old man finally waited until the princess came back."

It seems that the situation in Beijing has reached the point where the situation is like water and fire. However, Ming Jiansi died in the hands of the father and emperor. Even if he is loyal to the court, he is unable to handle the affairs of the court. I only hope that the stars and the moon hope that I will return to Beijing.

I asked Cheng Tiezhong to tell me what happened before. Tao Yuan was more shocked when he heard it. In his anger, he sent everyone from Mingjian Division to rush into the palace to take Jing Lan down. I shook my head and said: "Only a mere thousand people can't move the eldest brother at all. In the current situation, even if we tell the court officials that the emperor is harmed by the eldest brother, I am afraid that not only will they not go to crusade the eldest brother, but will be for the sake of Big brother, come to count us..."

Cheng Tiezhong was puzzled, "How can there be such a truth in the world?"

"Seeking advantage and avoiding disadvantage is the essence of human beings," I said: "If I have other brothers who can take on this important task in the world, some of the courtiers may be willing to fight against the enemy together with us, but now the emperor's body... all ministers Even if you have the heart, what can you do? Big brother is so unscrupulous because he sees this point. Do you really think that it is no accident that those scheming ministers can't see the upside down this year? "

Hearing this, Tao Yuan nodded and said, "There are very few people who have killed their brothers and seized the throne in the past... As long as they think that this person is worthy of surrender and has the ability to rule the world, they may not care whether their methods are open and aboveboard..."

Cheng Tiezhong slammed the table hard, "Could it be that we just sit and wait like this..."

"That's not necessarily true." I looked up at Cheng Tiezhong, "Didn't you say that the emperor asked you to take me back to the capital, did he want me to go to the palace to see him alone?"

Cheng Tiezhong nodded, "Your Majesty said... If he has something to say, he must tell Her Royal Highness the Princess personally..."

"It seems that this is the key to overthrowing the eldest brother..." I put my hand on the forehead, "It is not difficult to enter the palace to see my brother, but once I enter, I am afraid that the eldest brother will not give me another chance to leave the palace. …”

Tao Yuan sighed, "But it's not easy to hide this matter from King Qing. The secret report from the palace said that since Eunuch Cheng disappeared, the eunuch serving next to His Majesty's couch was replaced by Eunuch Li. The most stern people are from King Qing. It is said that if there is a slight disturbance in His Majesty’s place, he will immediately reach King Qing’s ears. Whether it is courtiers or concubines in the palace, if anyone wants to visit His Majesty, Either because His Majesty needed a quiet break and was stopped back, or because King Qing was invited to respond in person, even if we attacked Li Jun, if King Qing didn't receive the news after a period of time, he would definitely be suspicious, and the princess would not be afraid. get away..."

I got up and walked a few steps forward, paused, and looked back at Tao Yuan, "Mr. Tao, you said... Is there a possibility that Xing sent the emperor out of the palace?"

Tao Yuan was shaken all over, Cheng Tiezhong was dumbfounded and said, "This, this, this..."

I said: "Brother will not leave the palace easily right now, but if I ask him to meet, he will come to the appointment. Even if something happened in the palace at that time, it is difficult for Li Jun to spread the news..."

Tao Yuan immediately said: "This is inappropriate, not to mention that it is extremely dangerous for the princess to meet with King Qing alone, it is His Majesty's current body, even if we change him out of the palace overnight, it will not be able to bear the suffering of bumps..."

"What Mr. Tao said is very true, so I think..." I lowered my voice and slowly revealed my plan.

Tao Yuan was silent for a long time after listening, and finally said: "Although it is dangerous, it may not be impossible to give it a try."

It was not difficult to ask Jing Lan to come out and meet me.

Just let him know that I have returned to the capital, and he will not want me to enter the palace if he is unprepared, so he will take the initiative to come and make an appointment with me.

I walked to the palace gate wearing very low-key men's clothes. As Cheng Tiezhong said, the guards guarding the palace gate have long since changed. These newcomers naturally don't recognize me. Seeing that I want to enter the palace, it is natural Block me out.

I cupped my hands and said, "I'm here with King Qing, so I'm going to give you a message for me."

The headed guard said fiercely: "You bastard! King Qing is in charge of all kinds of opportunities. How can you wait for the commoners to see it! If you know the interest, go away!"

There are so many opportunities in the world... Even a gatekeeper in the district described Jing Lan in this way. It seems that his position in this palace has far exceeded my imagination.

I took out two ingots of gold from my sleeves and stuffed them into the guards. This blatant bribery not only failed to impress them, but made them even more angry. He threatened to take me down for trespassing on the palace gate. While pushing and shoving, a voice suddenly came from not far away, shouting, "Stop!"

A few guards were all startled when they heard his voice, and hurriedly gave up a path, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Sun, there is a treachery here who intends to trespass the palace, saying that it is the reason of His Royal Highness King Qing, and he belongs to him. No matter what, he won't leave..."

The visitor was originally aggressive, but when he saw my face, he was shocked, and he blurted out: "Gong..."

"Master Sun, you came just in time," I cut him off. "My son wanted to enter the palace to meet King Qing, but they stopped him. What do you think?"

This Master Sun is naturally Sun Xuan, the commander of the Imperial Guards in the palace. Sun Xuan is the one who was drawn by me to Jingyan's side as the prince's personal soldier. He was the first person to kneel before me in the case of King Kang in the main hall. How can you not recognize me? However, according to Cheng Tiezhong, Jing Lan didn't know what means he used to even use Sun Xuan for his own use, so today I made a special trip to clash with the palace guards at this hour, and it was precisely because the guard patrol was right. In the future, he will meet with the guards in shifts, so that he can meet Sun Xuan by such a "coincidence".

What a smart person, Sun Xuan, seeing that I deliberately concealed his identity, he did not reveal it, but he reprimanded the guards and said, "You know that this son is the guest of King Qing!"

When the guards heard it, they were convinced. They knelt down in panic and begged Sun Xuan to forgive their sins. I smiled very gracefully, "Master Sun, you are being reckless, and you didn't ask someone to lead the way in advance." Yan Yan Bi stretched out his hand and motioned to Sun Xuan, "It's better to take a step to speak."

Sun Xuan nodded, followed me to the corner outside the palace gate, and then raised his hand to salute: "Princess, you, why are you here?"

I bowed my head helplessly and sighed: "You must have heard that my concubine and I have been missing for so long, and I had the intention to retire and ask about the affairs of the court, but I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and I was very anxious. That's why I came to the capital... But now I really don't want to be involved in the court situation, so I concealed my identity, but I don't want even the guards outside the palace to recognize me now..."

Sun Xuan understood what I said, "The princess wants her subordinates to bring you into the palace?

"Why, can't it be done?"

"Well, that's not it... In fact, it's not difficult to enter the palace, but you don't want to reveal your identity, Princess," he hesitated for a moment, "At the moment, King Qing is still discussing politics with the ministers in the imperial study, but now whoever wants to meet Your Majesty has to go through King Qing... I'm afraid that the authority of my subordinates..."

I glanced at him with a half-smile, and it seemed that Jing Lan was indeed on guard. It is estimated that all the imperial guards in the palace would rush to inform him when they saw me. I was staring at Sun Xuan with a guilty conscience, I nodded slightly and said, "Big brother is cautious, if I am someone else's pretender at this moment, it is not appropriate to go to the saint so hastily... Well, I'll bother Lord Sun to run for me. I'll go and let my eldest brother know, how about I wait for the news at Yueyang Restaurant?"
