King Rui heard that Xiao Huazi was crying about the matter of the concubine Ling, and that the queen mother personally intervened. Knowing that this matter was unusual, he immediately sent the secret guards out of the palace to look for the emperor. not far.
When he rushed to Changxin Palace with a few guards and eunuchs, the Queen Mother had already ordered Lan Ling to be killed.
Xiao Rongzi looked for Tian Ming, but he couldn't find it for a long time. He had no choice but to find King Rui, and was delayed for some time.
"Everyone stop!" King Rui shouted loudly.
The queen turned pale. On weekdays, the fifth prince and Lan Ling were very close, and it was not a good thing for him to stand up for her at this time.
"Prince Rui, do you want to intervene in the Queen's handling of the concubines in the harem?" The Queen Mother kept a straight face.
"Queen, the concubine is the concubine of the emperor's brother after all. The emperor's brother will be back soon. Can we wait for the emperor's brother to come back?"
King Rui saw that Lan Ling was gagged and tied to a stool, his face was pale, and his body was already stained with blood.
When Ling Chen and his party were resting in Jincheng, they encountered a group of assassins. There were more than 20 of them. They looked menacing, but they rushed up and fled in a hurry after being beheaded and killed two people.
Everyone was guessing the assassin's origin, Tian Ming led his people to arrive.
"Why are you here? Didn't you ask you to protect... protect the palace?" Ling Chen was surprised.
"King Rui received the information that someone was going to assassinate the emperor, so he sent a humble official to respond." Tian Ming replied.
"There is an assassin, but he has already escaped. King Rui is very well informed. How is the palace?"
"It's safe. It's just that when the minister came, the empress was summoning all the ladies to Zhong'an Palace to discuss matters,"
"All gone?" Ling Chen asked.
"It's all over. The empress concubine was not in good health, but the girl of the empress said that it was related to the emperor's heirs, so she had to go."
The emperor frowned.
Huo Jingyun glanced at Ling Chen: "Your Majesty, when are we going to leave?"
Ling Chen looked at Wen Heng, just now Wen Heng said he had a headache, so he rested here.
"Heng'er, how are you?" Ling Chen asked Wen Heng.
Wen Heng actually didn't want to go back to the palace so early. During this time together with Ling Chen, it seemed like he was back in the past. At that time, Ling Chen would never say anything to her, and there was never any quarrel between the two of them.
Although Ling Chen is often absent-minded now, as long as he is by her side, she believes that his heart will come back.
"I'm better, I can leave after a little rest." Wen Heng replied weakly, reaching out to hold Ling Chen's hand.
Ling Chen nodded and took her hand. He was a little flustered today, and Lan Ling's shadow kept appearing in front of him.
Jincheng is also close to Yuncheng, so he wants to go back early.
At this time, Gu Fan hurried over with a hidden guard.
The dark guard knelt down: "Report to the emperor, the empress dowager ordered the empress to lead a search of the palace. Unclean things were found in Changxin palace, and they are interrogating..."
Before the hidden guard finished speaking, the emperor "huo" got up and said to Gu Fan and Yang Shuo: "All the guards are left to you, protect Concubine Yi!"
"You guys come back to the palace with me!" Ling Chen only brought Huo Jingyun, Bai Shaoting and Tian Ming, flew on his horse, and galloped away.
He lost his composure in such a way that he didn't admit that he had changed his mind when it was related to her! Wen Heng was absent-minded, clenched his fists tightly, and the long armor sank deeply into the flesh.
Changxin Palace.
The eunuch who blamed Lan Ling stopped when he saw King Rui stop him.
Lixia Qiaochun and Jixiang were pinned to the ground and couldn't move, Ruyi and the other little girls were already scared to death. Several eunuchs were also held there, waiting for their masters to be executed with the cane before they were executed.
The appearance of King Rui gave them hope.
The queen mother sneered, and threw the villain found in the Lan Ling room in front of King Rui, "Prince Rui, take a closer look at what she has done? She is just a concubine of the emperor, and there is no need for the emperor to do such a rebellious thing." Handle it personally, or King Rui thinks that the Ai family doesn't even have the right to dispose of a concubine?"
"Empress, Ling Yu didn't dare, but Brother Huang made a special statement when he left, and waited for him to deal with anything in Changxin Palace when he came back." King Rui argued.
"Aren't you in a hurry because your brother hasn't had any heirs for so many years? Or maybe Prince Rui hopes so?" The Empress Dowager's face darkened. She knew that these things were the most taboo among princes, so she wanted to use these words to silence Prince Rui.
After hearing what the queen mother said, King Rui knelt down directly, "Ling Yu dare not, Ling Yu just followed the emperor's brother..."
"What are you waiting for? Is everything reversed?" The queen mother glared at the eunuch who was carrying out the stick duty.
Eunuch Lin winked, and the stick fell on Lan Ling again.
Li Xia broke free from the eunuch's pressure, cried and lay on Lan Ling's body, holding her next to her.
A eunuch rushed forward and grabbed her.
"Since she wants to be tortured with the master so much, please satisfy her." The queen glanced at Xiao Jin.
Immediately, a eunuch pulled Li Xia to the side and directly pressed him on the ground and started beating him.
"Anyone who disturbs the executioner will be killed immediately!" The Queen's voice was cold and harsh.
"Empress, when the emperor left, he told Ling Yu to take over the power temporarily, and asked the empress to allow the concubine Ling to be taken into custody until the emperor returns!"
"Fifth, did the emperor say that even the harem will be managed by you?" The queen mother sneered.
King Rui's face turned red.
Seeing that Lan Ling was dead.
Lan Ling raised her head, and in a daze, a little eunuch rushed towards her and lay down on her body. She didn't see who it was, but the little eunuch's chest had been pierced by the sword... .
Lan Ling began to struggle, she wanted to tell them, don't come here, don't be stupid, if you come here, you will die, but you can't move.
The sound of sticks on her body, the pain piercing into her heart and lungs, and a dull pain in her chest began. Her throat was fishy and sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, but her mouth was covered with a white cloth, and the blood nestled in her mouth and slowly seeped out. Lan Ling felt desolate in his heart. Could it be that life and death are also so miserable
Ling Chen, Ling Chen, where are you? She yelled Ling Chen's name, her mouth was covered, and she couldn't make a sound.
In a trance, she saw a pair of bright yellow brocade boots with dragon patterns walking towards her. A few tall figures flashed behind.
Then I saw everyone kneeling there, "Kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
It was as if someone had picked him up.
Familiar voice, familiar smell of green sandalwood. A pair of painful phoenix eyes appeared in front of her eyes, and he carefully took out the cloth from her mouth.
She reached out and touched his face, "Is that you, Ling Chen? Am I dreaming?" Her vision was already blurred, a mouthful of blood protruded, Ling Chen caught it with both hands, and the blood spit all over Ling Chen's hands and body .
"It's me. It's not a dream." He hugged her, his voice was surprisingly gentle,
"Ling Chen, will I die? Why can't I see your face clearly?"
"You won't die, I won't let you die! Lan Ling, why would something happen to you if I'm not here! Stop talking. Li Xia, give your master a heart-protecting pill." He turned to call her girl.
Qiao Chun came up and administered medicine to Lan Ling, "Your Majesty, Li Xia has already been knocked out!"
Lan Ling slowly lost consciousness and passed out.
The medicine cannot be fed.
The emperor took the cup, put the medicine in his mouth, and passed it to her.
The queen knelt there with a pale face, looking at everything the emperor had done to Lan Ling, she was crumbling.
The queen mother has never seen the emperor like this. He delivered the medicine to Lan Ling himself! Did you get it wrong before? Or is that information all fake
She closed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, Lan Ling would definitely tell the emperor about Concubine Lin, and then she could only insist that Lan Ling held a grudge because of her punishment, and framed her!
"Tian Ming, take care of the people here, everyone must not leave! Doctor Xuan!" The emperor's voice was surprisingly gentle, but Yang Shu's back was sweating. The emperor was doing his best to suppress his anger.
