After a palace change, the news spread the fastest, of course, to the maids and eunuchs in the palace. Wei Lan rushed to the gate of the palace, and after the palace companions asked to see Su Cheng, no one stopped her, as if Su Cheng was the emperor. After receiving permission, Wei Lan was brought to the imperial study in an orderly manner.
Because the emperor passed away, plain colors were hung everywhere in the palace. Su Cheng put on a yellow robe, but also wore a plain white hair band on his head. When Wei Lan came to the imperial study, Su Cheng held his hands behind his back , with his back to her, looked up at the plaque in the Imperial Study Room that said "the best is like water".
Wei Lan stood behind him without disturbing him, Su Cheng stood quietly for a while, and finally said: "When I was young, he liked to hold me here and read a book. He was never a hardworking emperor, and he would just do whatever he wanted every day. After approving the important memorials, he had to do his own business. At that time, he was still young, and he always had to put on a show. After the approving of the memorials, he would read some wild books in the royal study. I quietly crawled over the window to look for him, he was very happy to see me like a big child."
Wei Lan knew who he was talking about, so she didn't dare to disturb him for fear of making him angry. Su Cheng recalled the past, and slowly said: "He used to be a good father."
"I didn't want to do it so early, A Lan." His tone was full of regret: "I didn't want to do it so hastily. But the crown prince made me very worried. It's a trivial matter that I lost Zhang Cheng and Chen Hesheng, but I think it's a small matter. Like the beginning, the prince is forcing me, instead of waiting until I am evenly matched with him, it is better to pull him down completely when I have the ability."
With that said, he turned around and looked at Wei Lan.
He has cried before, but his eye sockets are still red and swollen. Under the moonlight, his gorgeous face is very clear, and the raised phoenix eyes reveal a charming meaning, which makes Wei Lan lower his eyes. He stares at Wei Lan who is standing in front of him. . She was wearing a crimson official robe and a black cloak, her golden crown and black hair contrasted sharply with her fair skin under the moonlight, her cool and calm appearance was the same as back then.
Time seemed to have left no mark on her body, everyone was changing, his father became unreasonable, he became indifferent and greedy, the prince became aggressive, and everyone around him was changing their appearance. But this person is the only one who is calm and romantic, just like the first time I met him.
He felt as if he had found some kind of sustenance from her, and he urgently needed such sustenance, so he couldn't help but walked quickly to her, and pulled her into his arms before the other party raised his head.
However, something was clamoring in his heart.
Not enough, not enough.
He needs this person, he wants to melt her into his blood, wants to be one with her. He wants to touch the past time, the past self. This person seems to be a silent connection that runs through his past and present.
He is already an emperor, and there is nothing in this world that he cannot touch. He no longer needs to suppress his mood, he can let this person be by his side if he wants this person by his side.
He urgently pinched her chin, lowered his head and kissed her, like a young man who didn't understand anything, licked and bit on that person's tightly closed thin lips, then he held her face, kissed urgently, delicately It fell on her face and neck. He gasped and tugged at his clothes. Wei Lan frowned, looked at Su Cheng, who was obviously losing his composure, and did not provoke him with resisting movements. She put her hands on her chest, as if it had nothing to do with her, and reminded coldly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" !"
He paused, raised his head in a daze, and looked at the person who had been pulling away in front of him. From the beginning to the end of this relationship, she seemed to be like this. His feelings were drawn by her. She handed him the peach blossoms and turned around with a smile. Seeing her calm and indifferent appearance, Su Cheng couldn't help but let go of her hand and took a step back.
He was already an emperor, but he didn't know why, looking at her at this moment, he felt that he was no different from when he first saw her.
"Your Majesty," Wei Lan smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes, and said calmly, "Can you calm down?"
Su Cheng closed his eyes without making a sound, and slowly calmed down all the complicated emotions in his heart. After a while, he opened his eyes again, and he had regained his sanity and clarity, but there were countless emotions suppressed below, as if they would gushe out at any time
"What are you doing here?"
He suppressed his emotions, turned around and walked into the house, Wei Lan followed in, like a most loyal courtier, respectfully returned: "Today, His Majesty entered the palace in a hurry, and the humble minister surrounded the Prince's mansion on his own initiative, and came here to plead guilty. "
"You did a good job on this matter." Su Cheng nodded, knocked on the table and said, "I also asked Sun Ming to do this. I don't want you to go first. Sun Ming has already reported this matter to me."
"What your majesty asked me to do, I have already done it." Wei Lan knelt and sat opposite Su Cheng, looking at Su Cheng coldly: "Then should you also do what your majesty promised me?"
"The position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I have already vacated for you." Su Cheng pretended not to understand what Wei Lan said, Wei Lan did not speak, and looked at Su Cheng quietly. Su Cheng knew that Wei Lan was not satisfied with the answer, a sneer appeared on his face, but he said: "Xie Zichen, after interrogation, I will send you back."
"What does Your Majesty want to interrogate Xie Zichen? Shouldn't it be in Dali Temple?"
"Are you questioning me?" Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, and Wei Lan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that keeping Xie Zichen in the palace must not be a whim.
This was done on purpose by Su Cheng, and why he stayed in the palace instead of Dali Temple—it must be because the content of the interrogation is not suitable for disclosure. Xie Zichen murdered the emperor, they should have done it seamlessly, why are they afraid of being interrogated
Wei Lan thought about it, checked the possible reasons one by one, and then came to a conclusion.
Interrogating Xie Zichen like this at this time must have something to do with the legitimacy of Su Cheng's succession. If she was Su Cheng, since she wanted to murder the emperor, she must have prepared a will. When the emperor dies, she can just take the jade seal and seal it. Otherwise, it would take such a lot of trouble to kill the emperor, but there will be disputes over the succession. Wouldn't it be thankless? After all, at this moment, the prince is the reasonable heir.
Xie Zichen was present when the emperor died, and the most likely thing he would do was Yuxi. An emperor without a jade seal is hard to be recognized anyway.
But in the current situation, the major families are wise and safe, and will not participate in the struggle. That is to say, whoever becomes the emperor, then everyone will bow down first, and another person will fight for this position, that is treason. Su Cheng also made such a plan before he dared to act like this. Now that he doesn't have a jade seal in his hand, it must be very difficult for him to ascend the throne.
Wanting to understand this, Wei Lan smiled and said without changing her face: "I dare not, I am just worried about whether Xie Zichen is really alive."
"What if he dies?" Su Cheng was angry, and felt that her smile was extremely dazzling: "Why, if he is dead, you are going to betray me?!"
"Your Majesty," Wei Lan stared at him, "If Xie Zichen dies, it is not that I have betrayed Your Majesty, but that Your Majesty has betrayed the promise I made with you."
"You threatened me?"
"Why?" Wei Lan chuckled lightly: "Now that Shengjing is under the control of His Majesty, and Wei Lan's life and death are at His Majesty's discretion, how dare Wei Lan threaten His Majesty?"
"Wei Shizi said that, but didn't he think in his heart that I have just ascended the throne, and I must keep the north safe. In the face of the 700,000 troops in the north, I dare not do anything to you."
"I don't have this self-confidence. I believe that even if there is no minister, His Majesty can calm down the north."
Wei Lan spoke frankly, and Su Cheng sneered: "Who on earth gave you the courage to talk to me like that? What is Xie Zichen's identity? The guilty minister who murdered my father! It's up to you to ask me for him. , I can put you in prison!"
"Your Majesty," Wei Lan said with a smile as she tapped her palm with a small fan, "You and I are the only ones here at this moment, so why bother to say these hypocritical words? Isn't Your Majesty the clearest about what happened to the late emperor? You and me The two of them clearly spoke first, but now His Majesty is forcibly detaining Xie Zichen in the palace, what is His Majesty's reason?"
Wei Lan seemed to have guessed the beginning and end of the matter. Su Cheng's palms were covered with cold sweat. Wei Lan straightened up and approached Su Cheng. The breath of her words breathed on his face with a slight warmth: "Your Majesty, what did Xie Zichen do?" What, let His Majesty detain him in the palace even if he does not hesitate to break his promise?"
Su Cheng didn't speak, he quietly looked at the mocking young man in front of him. With just a few clues, she saw the clues. While he was admiring her intelligence, he couldn't help but feel a raging desire in his heart.
There were so many things that day, everything in his heart was suppressed, suppressed, and piled up. Facing her at this moment, all his anger and sorrow seemed to have found an outlet. He wanted to hold her tightly, to drag her into his arms, to press her under him, to tear her clothes, to penetrate her hard, to see her cry, to fall off the altar, to cry with him, to suffer together, to be together sad.
He had already had this idea, the night she and Xie Zichen danced the sacrificial dance together that year, he had this idea. But never has it been as within reach as it is today.
He looked at her with a dark look in his eyes.
"Alan, do you know why I want to be emperor?"
He suddenly opened his mouth and said something that Wei Lan couldn't understand, Wei Lan frowned, Su Cheng smiled slowly, the smile seemed to be ripples on the surface of the water, the roses in full bloom in spring, gorgeous and charming, with an alluring charm Wei Lan couldn't help being a little taken aback when she saw the dangerous smell.
From the first time she saw Su Cheng, she knew that this man's coquettishness was deeply rooted in him, and every frown and smile carried a charming charm that captivated the soul. She is a woman, such a beauty is always so hard to resist.
She struggled to look away, not daring to look at the other party, but Su Cheng propped up his body with his hands, and put them close to her ears, and said in a low voice: "Because I become the emperor, I can do whatever I want."
As soon as the words fell, Su Cheng suddenly pulled Wei Lan to the ground. His movement was too sudden, with too much force, the table was knocked over by him, pen, ink and paper fell to the floor, Wei Lan hit the memorial all over the floor, half propped up, looked up at Su Cheng standing in front of him, frowning Said: "Your Majesty, are you awake at the moment?"
"Sober." Su Cheng untied his belt, and said coldly, "Very sober."
Wei Lan squinted her eyes, watching him take off his outer shirt, Wang Guoliang was outside, and hurriedly asked someone to close the door. Only Wei Lan and Su Cheng were left in the room. Seeing him throwing his outer robe on the ground, Wei Lan sat up calmly and said with a smile, "Sober? Your Majesty still remembers that you don't have a jade seal, and you haven't passed on your throne." The imperial edict, how will we face the veterans in the court and the rest of the prince's party tomorrow?"
Su Cheng's hand to untie his clothes paused slightly, but Wei Lan glanced at him, smiled and said: "Your Majesty won't take it off? I thought that Your Majesty is looking at Zhongchen's ability and wants to please him on the bed. Do you want to say a few more words to His Majesty tomorrow morning?"
"Weilan!"
Su Cheng shouted angrily: "Don't forget your identity!"
"I remember the identity of the minister clearly, I am afraid that His Majesty has forgotten his identity!"
Wei Lan raised her head, her eyes filled with coldness.
Su Cheng panted fiercely, Wei Lan straightened up, and said coldly: "Your Majesty doesn't trust me, from the beginning to the end, so he has been just testing and concealing. Your Majesty wants to use me, because only I can stabilize the north, and only I can charge into battle for His Majesty. But His Majesty dare not use it. Even though Wei Lan has done so many things for His Majesty over the years, it still can't match the stain in His Majesty's heart that Wei Lan likes Xie Zichen. His Majesty plans such a big layout, poisonous Killing His Majesty and Lord Zhen Guo, and controlling the inner palace with one hand, this kind of plan is definitely not a one-day effort, but he never revealed the slightest to Wei Lan, and he still wants to use it as a test, does Your Majesty think that Wei Lan is not chilling?"
Su Cheng didn't speak, Wei Lan had always been calm and reserved towards him, and most of the time he was respectful. She had never talked to him like this before, and such an angry and emotional person made him feel real and alive, as if he was really close to her.
She held the small fan, closed her eyes, and said a little tiredly: "But Wei Lan never said anything. His Majesty asked Wei Lan to poison Xie Zichen, Wei Lan did it, and Wei Lan didn't even reveal any information to them. After entering the palace, he also tried his best to block the prince's mansion first. The minister thought that the minister was already loyal enough, but how did His Majesty give back to the minister? Xie Zichen stole the jade seal, and His Majesty would rather argue with the minister and let the minister misunderstand. If you are willing to tell me the truth, does your majesty really think that if your majesty doesn't tell me, the minister will not be able to guess?"
"I came to ask about Xie Zichen's news, and His Majesty insulted me like this. I always think of Your Majesty as a monarch. Your Majesty misunderstood and guarded against it, and I didn't mind. It's just because I understand my identity. As a subject, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. But what did your majesty do to the subject?"
Wei Lan opened her eyes, her body trembled slightly, she raised her voice, and shouted angrily: "Even if I fall in love with a man, Your Majesty will think that I am a male favourite, so you can do whatever you want?!"
"no… "
Hearing Wei Lan's questioning, Su Cheng finally panicked. As soon as he grabbed Wei Lan's wrist, Wei Lan violently broke away from him and said angrily, "Let go!"
Su Cheng stopped where he was, and said anxiously: "Alan, listen to me, I don't want to humiliate you..."
"Your Majesty didn't want to humiliate you, what are you doing?" Wei Lan looked at him coldly, Su Cheng opened his mouth, he looked at the person close at hand, his mind went blank.
What do you want to say, what do you want to say
How could he let her know such thoughts? This is his weakness, if she knows it, will she take advantage of it, will she turn this feeling into a knife, and stab herself fiercely
Su Cheng thought quietly, and suddenly became decadent.
He couldn't help laughing, but said: "Alan, I really don't want to humiliate you. I just feel so sad."
Wei Lan was taken aback for a moment, she didn't quite understand why Su Cheng was sad.
However, this man came up to her and stretched out his hand towards her.
"Alan, give me a hug, okay?"
Wei Lan frowned, Su Cheng smiled and said, "A Lan, hug me, I'll take you to see Xie Zichen."
Wei Lan frowned even deeper, and she found that she no longer understood Su Cheng very much. Su Cheng smiled as if he was about to cry. Seeing that she didn't object, he tentatively stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Alan," he hugged her tightly, smelling her scent, his panicked heart seemed to have finally found a place, so stable and peaceful. Reminding him of that year, she carried him out of the hall.
That was the most peaceful and peaceful time in his life. For countless days and nights, he wished to go back to that day, when he leaned in her arms and was not afraid of anything.
He buried his head on her neck and said slowly, "My father is dead."
Not the emperor, but the father.
After he personally killed him, he finally discovered that this person would also make him sad.
What was buried in this funeral was not only the man called father emperor, but also his young self.
He shed tears in her arms, silently. No amount of questioning could come out, Wei Lan stood quietly, after a long time, she raised her hand and hugged him.
"Don't cry, Su Cheng." She said dryly.
She didn't know what to say.
But as soon as the words came out, that person wailed like a child.
He didn't dare to show the sadness that had been suppressed in front of anyone like this. He was afraid that his queen mother would think he was weak, and that his subordinates would think he was wavering. Only in front of this person could he truly show his heart—he was terrified, afraid, and sad.
Wei Lan didn't quite understand why Su Cheng was crying so sadly in her arms.
The person was killed by him, and the bureau was planned by him. What's the point of crying at this time
But listening to this person's cry, for some reason, she felt so sad and sympathetic. Su Cheng cried for a while, and finally felt tired. He silenced his voice, hugged her quietly for a while, and finally said, "I'll take you there."
Wei Lan nodded, she couldn't see what she was thinking on her face, she followed Su Cheng to the dungeon in the harem, it was already late at night, the queen had already rested, so she left someone to continue interrogating Xie Zichen.
When Su Cheng took Wei Lan into the dungeon, he said lightly: "I can show you the man, just to let you see that he is still alive. I promise to let Xie Zichen be delivered to you alive, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let go. Tell the whereabouts of Yuxi, then I don't know what the torturer will do."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Lan followed behind Su Cheng, clenching her fists.
Wei Lan heard the sound of the whip from afar, and Wei Lan's heart sank. When she saw Xie Zichen, she was shocked.
That person seemed to have been fished out of blood, and there was not a single intact part of his body, Wei Lan clenched her fists tightly, reminding herself with the pain in her palms that she should not make any overly outrageous expressions.
After all, in front of Su Cheng, Xie Zichen was just her "responsibility". She came to save him for her own responsibility and her own face, not because of how deep her feelings were.
Su Cheng paid attention to Wei Lan's appearance, and Wei Lan's calm expression made him very satisfied, making him feel that Wei Lan's indifference is not just for him, even if Xie Zichen has done so much for Wei Lan, sharing the same bed After so many years, he still didn't get half of this person's sincerity.
When Wei Lan came, Su Cheng asked people to stop, Xie Zichen struggled to open his eyes, and vaguely saw Wei Lan standing in front of him.
She seemed to be doing well, still looking handsome and handsome as usual, except for a red mark on her neck, which made people feel particularly glaring. Xie Zichen knew exactly what that red mark was. Wei Lan's skin was prone to have these marks. He had to be extra careful before, because it would stay on if he sucked lightly. In the morning, everyone has to guess which woman's gentle town Wei Lan has gone to.
Xie Zichen, who hadn't changed his expression after being beaten for a whole day, suddenly changed his expression when he saw Wei Lan's red mark, but he remembered his role, and he couldn't let Su Cheng find out that Wei Lan had told him this in advance matter, then as a person framed by Wei Lan, his proper expression should be—
"Did you do it?" Xie Zichen's eyes were full of sarcasm, and before Wei Lan could answer, Xie Zichen said, "You spilled the medicine on me, right?"
Wei Lan's expression remained unchanged, she avoided his question, but said, "Why are you so stubborn?"
"I asked if it was you!"
"Do I still need to ask?" Wei Lan smiled bitterly: "Zichen, you have always been smart. A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Now that the situation is clear, why are you persistent?"
"Are you here to be a lobbyist?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, Su Cheng stood behind her, looking at the two of them with a smile. Seeing that Wei Lan didn't speak, Su Cheng came forward and said with a smile: "Xie Yushi misunderstood Wei Shizi, Wei Shizi was worried that Xie Yushi came, but just happened to know about Yuxi, so he wanted to persuade him. Xie Yu In fact, why should Shi be obsessed with it? The matter of seizing the heir apparent has nothing to do with your aristocratic families. I am not a stingy person. Your Wang and Xie families have always stood on both sides. Xie Yulan is mine, and you are the crown prince. Now that you are down, your Xie family will not be implicated, if you tell Yuxi's whereabouts, I promise I won't touch you."
"Your Majesty is so generous?" Xie Zichen sneered, and the corners of Su Cheng's mouth curled up: "It's not particularly generous, but it's more generous than you imagined."
"Okay." Xie Zichen nodded. Su Cheng never thought that Xie Zichen was so eloquent, and was about to praise him, when he heard him say: "If you want a jade seal, then your majesty should stay away from Wei Shizi, if your majesty touches Wei Shizi again A hair, I promise, Your Majesty will never see Yuxi in this lifetime."
"You!!" Unexpectedly, Xie Zichen asked such a question, and Su Cheng jumped up angrily. Xie Zichen's eyes fell on Wei Lan, his eyes were full of affection.
"Alan, do you remember what you told Tianjiu to tell me that year?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, Xie Zichen said slowly: "Tell me, you only belong to me in this life."
Wei Lan: "..."
Although she knew that Xie Zichen was passing on news, Wei Lan still felt a little overwhelmed by using this method.
But the nastyness of these words can't compare to the scars on that person's body. Wei Lan didn't dare to think about what he went through, she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him, so she could only say: "I didn't lie to you."
Hearing this, Xie Zichen smiled, even in such a embarrassing moment, that smile still did not diminish his demeanor. He stared at her and said softly: "That's good."
Su Cheng stood behind them, his heart aroused.
"alright."
He was dissatisfied and said, "See you, let's go."
"Yes." Wei Lan replied, took a deep look at Xie Zichen, then turned her head and left.
After walking out of the underground palace, Su Cheng led her forward.
She followed behind him, seeming to be thinking about something, Su Cheng didn't speak, and his heart was filled with anger.
It's not that he doesn't know the relationship between Wei Lan and Xie Zichen, but they have always been secretive in the past, and they have never been so explicit. It was the first time he saw him, only then did he realize that he was far less generous than he had imagined.
He didn't dare to show it too much, and Wei Lan was thinking about Xie Zichen's words, and was in no mood to pay attention to her.
Xie Zichen had never said such nasty things to her, and she had never known a person named Tianjiu, so the key to his message was this person named Tianjiu. But at this moment, Ran Mo has been arrested with Xie Zichen, and she needs to find someone who is very familiar with Xie Zichen to know what Tianjiu is.
Su Cheng and Wei Lan walked back to the imperial study room, Wei Lan came to her senses, saw that it was getting late, and said: "Your Majesty, it is getting late, I will take my leave first."
"Stand," Su Cheng said coldly, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Naturally, I will go through fire and water for His Majesty, and I will not hesitate to do so." Wei Lan immediately echoed.
Su Cheng didn't have a will to succeed to the throne, and the people from the Ministry of Rites would definitely not recognize it tomorrow, plus some of the prince's old party, there would always be a few of these people who were ignorant of current affairs and wanted to provoke Su Cheng. The people in Su Cheng's hands are either too high-ranking, such as his uncle's Shangguan Guocheng, these people can't stand out and force them, they are too cheap. Or they are not very good at lip service, such as Sun Ming. Or maybe the interpersonal relationship is not very good, and you can't take advantage of the quarrel, and you can't convince the crowd, such as Zhang Sheng.
Only Wei Lan is the only one, her status is enough to overwhelm others but not too high, and her verbal skills can win Xie Zichen. The same group of people in the court have good interpersonal relationships, at least those people will see it in Wei Lan's face It won't be too ugly.
Su Cheng made up his mind to let Wei Lan play the vanguard, but he originally thought that Wei Lan was unwilling. After all, as Wei Lan said, he was too defensive towards Wei Lan in this matter.
"Aren't you angry?" Su Cheng pursed his lips, feeling a little anxious. He suddenly felt regretful, if Wei Lan was really loyal to her, how hurtful would it be for him to do so
However, Wei Lan smiled. She looked at him with doting eyes.
"You are the king, and I am the subject. It is my honor to fight for the king."
Su Cheng raised his head in surprise, and Wei Lan's smile came into his eyes. It seemed to be the last debate with Xie Zichen when she graduated. She was like this at that time, telling him to fight for the king.
Su Cheng felt a little guilty for a moment. He turned his face away, and said a little uncomfortable: "Alan, I will treat you well."
"I know." Wei Lan smiled, cupped her hands and said, "I will take my leave."
Su Cheng nodded and sent her out personally. After leaving the palace, Wei Lan didn't even sleep, and asked Ran Mo's general Pei to find him: "Do you know Tian Jiu?"
Chang Pei is in charge of Xie Zichen's intelligence agency, and he knows more than half of Xie Zichen's people. Hearing the name, he frowned and said, "I know this name."
As he said that, he took out a booklet from his pocket and explained: "The names of Mr. Xie's servants are all regular. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are marked with labels, which are the code names of the informants. The sky is the dark group, and the earth is the bright group." The people in Tian are generally in important positions, and we will not use the people in the Tian Zi Department for less than half of the critical moments, because they can only be used once, and then people will find out and no longer use them.”
"The Dizi Department is an ordinary informant. The names and identities corresponding to everyone's code names are in the booklet. Let's just look for them according to this name."
Wei Lan nodded, Chang Pei searched according to the booklet, and soon found Tian Jiu.
—Pei Rong, the maid beside the queen.
This Pei Rong was next to the queen, she looked like a court lady, but she was actually the one who executed the prisoners on behalf of the queen. She was very good at using torture, so she was appreciated by the queen.
After receiving this news, Wei Lan's psychological stone fell instantly. If the executioner and Xie Zichen were old acquaintances, then Xie Zichen's injury in prison only looked terrible, but it was not that serious.
Xie Zichen's question was finally let go, and Wei Lan immediately asked, "Where is Yuan Qing, the son of Duke Zhen?"
"My lord, I was about to talk about this," Ran Mo showed a worried expression, "Young Master Yuan is gone."
"Missing?!"
Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, Ran Mo nodded and said: "Shizi Yuan was intercepted halfway, and he jumped into the river by himself, and he is nowhere to be found now. At this moment, the Nancheng Army has been taken over by Chen Shuimiao, and this Chen Shuimiao is Chen Hesheng. nephew."
Chen Hesheng was born in a poor family, unlike those nobles from aristocratic families, he lived in the underworld, so in the struggle to seize the heir apparent, his whole family would naturally stand in line. Since Chen Hesheng is from Sucheng, this nephew, of course, doesn't even need to think about it, he is from Sucheng.
Wei Lan frowned, then said, "Did you find Wang Xi?"
"At this moment, the whole city is under martial law, and entry and exit are prohibited." Ran Mo was worried. According to the current situation, before the enthronement ceremony, the gates of the city might not even be opened. But once the enthronement ceremony is completed, it will be difficult for the prince to stand up again. Not to mention anything else, just those old-fashioned families would not recognize the crown prince. After all, for them, whoever is the emperor does it, and there is no difference. They don't need to consider standing in line to win the heir, they just need to respectfully give face after the emperor takes office. Unless the emperor wants to interfere with them, it is no exaggeration to say that in today's aristocratic family, if the emperor really interferes with them forcefully, the two sides will fight hard, and I am afraid that they will not be able to please themselves.
Wei Lan actually understood what Xie Zichen meant. He stole the jade seal in order to make Su Cheng, the throne, forever dishonorable, so no matter what step he took, the prince would have a reason to send troops.
But the price is too high...
Recalling the way she looked at Xie Zichen in the cell, Wei Lan's heart trembled. She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, and listened to Ran Mo continue to talk about other news.
After dealing with these, she fell on the bed, feeling extremely tired. She originally thought that she would sleep as soon as she touched the bed, but for some reason, when she fell on it, she suddenly felt that this bed was so big and empty, something was missing.
She stared blankly at the bedside, and suddenly remembered that that person was no longer there.
"fool… "
She closed her eyes and sighed aloud, feeling a little helpless, her heart throbbed with pain and pity, and there were some complaints.
If it wasn't for Su Cheng, she really wanted to ask him - is it worth it
Is it really that important whether the prince should be the emperor or not
Where is it worth him doing this? He probably never had such awareness, he belonged to her.
Every hair, every inch of skin belongs to her. So she will feel distressed when he is hurt, and she will be jealous when he is touched. He always makes such claims.
What jade seal are you stealing
If he didn't steal the jade seal, he would just enter the Dali Temple. Once he entered the Dali Temple, she could manage it. Everything was a process. He confessed to the prince, and she took him out, waiting for Wang Ning to lead the troops to fight back. That's it.
But he didn't care about himself, only thinking about the big picture.
How to make the prince smoother, how to make the war as little as possible. He was sure that the other party would not dare to kill him, because if he died, Yuxi would lose his whereabouts forever, which was unacceptable to Su Cheng. But he didn't think that even if she didn't die, she would feel sad even if she was tortured like this.
She suddenly understood what he looked like angrily questioning her when she faked her death.
So she finally understood that liking someone was really such an uneasy state of mind.
Xie Zichen.
She curled up, clenched the place where he would normally lie down, imagined how he was still there, and said hoarsely: "Come back."
I miss you.
