Wei Lan was speechless, she opened her mouth as she looked at the calm and unhurried appearance in front of her, but she didn't know what to say. After a long time, she lowered her eyes, turned sideways, and respectfully made a "please" gesture to Ji Shao.
Ji Shao thanked her, then walked in front of her, Wei Lan followed behind him, and walked out of the prison together with him.
The news that he was about to be executed had already spread throughout Shengjing. Before noon, the gate of the prison was full of people. It was different from the usual people who came to see the excitement. Most of the people who came today were civilian students. They were uniformly dressed in plain robes, with plain white headbands on their heads, and stood solemnly on both sides of the road, as if they were here to see them off.
Just as Ji Shao and Wei Lan walked out of the dungeon, they were startled by such a scene. Wei Lan knew that Ji Shao had always had a high reputation among the students. He was proficient in rhythm and wrote good articles. He did not have the coquettishness of a nobleman, but was eager to help poor students. Therefore, he had always been quite prestigious in the circle of literati. , I just heard that it was just that, when I saw it for the first time, Wei Lan couldn't help being stunned.
These young people all looked at Ji Shao, their eyes were slightly red, when Wei Lan stepped out of the door, she saw the students on both sides kneeling down respectfully, and the leader said loudly: "I am waiting for the students of the Taixue, and I would like to submit a joint request, and I beg your Majesty to ask for help." En, read the place where Master Ji's talents are learned, pardon the death penalty, come to my Taixue to teach, and never enter the officialdom."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she could tell at a glance that the person who spoke had actually changed his face. The expression of the person wearing the human skin mask couldn't match his expression perfectly, but Wei Lan didn't say anything, she was too familiar with that person's movements, and she knew a long time ago that he would definitely come.
With Yan Lan's temper, and having received such great kindness from Ji Shao, how could he not say a word when Ji Shao was in trouble
Wei Lan didn't say anything, she waved her hands with the guards beside her and said, "Go and ask His Majesty for instructions."
Then he asked Ji Shao to get into the prison car, and Ji Shao stepped into the prison car, as if he was sitting on a gorgeous carriage, sitting cross-legged, with a calm posture. Wei Lan immediately followed, jumped into the prison car, and sat opposite Ji Shao.
"Is Mr. Wei afraid that I will run away?" Ji Shao smiled, and then said: "You can rest assured, I..."
"I'm afraid you won't run away." Wei Lan sighed, interrupting Ji Shao's words.
The carriage started to go to Caishikou, and the surrounding area also started to commotion.
"Ji Gongzi!"
Everyone knelt down one by one, shouting the title of his son, and some excited students rushed up, squeezing the prison car. The procession was extremely difficult, and Wei Lan did not forcibly expel them. The voices of the two were drowned in these shouts. Ji Shao was stunned by Wei Lan's words, and then understood what she meant, and sighed: "I know Alan wanted to save me, but I couldn't harm Alan."
"Yan Lan is in the crowd, he will come to rescue you later, I won't make things difficult for him, when the time comes..."
"What do you do?" Ji Shao interrupted her, Wei Lan pursed her lips, and heard Ji Shao continue: "You are close to us on weekdays, Su Cheng doesn't trust you. You surrounded the prince Mansion, I finally gained his trust, if something goes wrong here, what will Su Cheng do to you?"
"He is a man who can't tolerate even half of betrayal. Alan, you let me go, but you have thought about the road ahead, what should you do?"
"Of course I have my own way." Wei Lan frowned: "The most urgent thing is that you go out first."
Hearing this, Ji Shao shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't go out, people in Shengjing are always going to die, and it's better to kill me than others."
"Alan, Su Cheng's ascension to the throne must be dissuaded. If everyone is either silent or obedient, Su Cheng will sit on the throne safely."
"I know you people always want to make a decision before making a move, but have you ever thought that if no one speaks up, even if the crown prince wins this position in the future, this basin of sewage will not be washed away. How will future generations record the crown prince? ? A traitor who murdered his younger brother and usurped the throne?"
"You think that the success or failure of merits and demerits is written by later generations, but Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, Han Gaozu built the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, Cao Cao forced the emperor to order the princes, and none of them is the one who won the victory, but the stains on them are the same. Is it covered up?"
"I'm not a counselor and minister like you. I'm just a literati. I write my heart with a pen. I know that the prince has been wronged, so I can't just sit idly by. If I keep silent like you, then I will talk about it after the prince is rehabilitated." I was framed, who in this world would believe me?"
"Since I am reading with the prince, the prince is Lord Ji Shao. You protect the prince's Kangzhuang Avenue. Ji Shao has nothing else to do, so he only wants to protect the prince. He will be wise all his life."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she looked at Ji Shao, and she could see the mortal intention in the young man's eyes.
He begged for death by himself, using his own death to prove Su Cheng's fault, using his own death to arouse public anger, and using his own death to give the prince a good name.
She wanted to dissuade him, but she couldn't open her mouth. People have their own ambitions. For example, she, Wei Lan, wholeheartedly seeks to be immortal and to rise to the top, but what this person seeks is the word upright.
He knew that his lord had been wronged, so he couldn't let everyone pour sewage on the prince. No one voiced their grievances for the prince in this matter. Wait until they captured Shengjing and the prince ascended the throne. Everyone in the world will only pretend to be a lie. This is just a lie written by the prince as a victor.
Conspiracy rumors are always more convincing than the truth.
Ji Shao, you said he was smart, but he thought he died for the reputation of the monarch. You say he is stupid, but he sees people's hearts more clearly than anyone else.
Wei Lan couldn't speak, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, Ji Shao laughed loudly, and suddenly took out a large stack of papers from her bosom, and the hand playing the qin threw out the papers full of words, one after another to both sides of the road.
"The crown prince has been wronged! Su Cheng plotted against him! If the heavens have eyes, let's look at this world!"
The papers filled with the court secrets were scattered away, and the students hurriedly picked up the papers. Wei Lan raised her head among the snow-falling papers, and saw the man standing upright, laughing and shouting over and over again.
"The crown prince has been wronged! Su Cheng conspired against me! The rebels killed me today, so why should I be afraid of Ji Shao's death!"
"Let's go away, gentlemen, please don't come here. Today, Ji Shao sacrificed his blood to the Empress Dowager. He is willing to seek justice from this world for the crown prince!"
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Su Cheng's confidant rushed over with his horse, raised the scabbard, and threw it at Ji Shao.
Wei Lan's eyes turned cold, she stood up, grabbed the scabbard, and threw the soldier out.
"If you can't punish a doctor, Jun Ji, as a noble son, is he someone you can humiliate?!"
Wei Lan shouted sharply, the soldier's face changed, and then he said: "Wei Shizi, he insulted His Majesty..."
"Master Ji," Wei Lan turned to look at Ji Shao, and made a "please" gesture: "If you have anything to say today, you can say it. Wei Lan is here, and I will not let anyone bully you." you."
Hearing Wei Lan's words, Ji Shao finally stopped. He looked at Wei Lan, shook his head after a while and said, "I have already said what I want to say next, and there is no need to say the rest. If Wei Lan If you are interested, give Ji Shao a piano."
After finishing speaking, Ji Shao sat down cross-legged, and Wei Lan called for someone to fetch the piano for Ji Shao.
The carriage struggled to the entrance of Caishi, Yan Lan's disguised student came to the carriage, Ji Shao saw Yan Lan from a distance, but he shook his head towards Yan Lan.
The carriage stopped, and Wei Lan opened the door of the prison carriage, and stepped down from it. All the students looked at Wei Lan from a distance, this imperial genius, who was known as the beauty of the Imperial Academy with Xie Zichen back then. She was wearing a crimson official robe, and even though she was doing such a despicable thing, she still looked upright and calm.
She raised her hand, and Ji Shao put his hand on hers, and she walked down with her support.
Wei Lan walked up to the execution ground together with him, the servant hurriedly came up with the Guqin in his arms, and handed the Guqin into Ji Shao's hands. Ji Shaoai caressed the Qin with no fear on his face, and Yan Lan came to Xingtai On the side, he was about to jump up, but was startled by Ji Shao's sudden gaze.
"Back off!"
Ji Shao shouted angrily.
Everyone didn't know what he was talking about, but Yan Lan was very clear. Ji Shao didn't look at him anymore, he held the qin and faced the crowd, the attendant brought the wine, Wei Lan personally served the wine for Ji Shao, Ji Shao held the qin in one hand and served the wine in the other, facing the thousands of students in the audience, he said with a smile: " Before noon came, Ji Mou said a few more words. The three major regrets in Ji Mou's life, the first one, although he has countless beauties, he failed to get a good wife, and now he is about to go to the underworld, and there is no beautiful woman around him to serve wine, which is a pity .Fortunately, Master Wei is barely a beauty, and Ji Mou's regret is just barely."
As he spoke, Ji Shao raised his head and drank the first cup. Wei Lan poured him a second glass of wine, Ji Shao served the wine again, and continued: "The second thing, Ji is incompetent in his life, the only thing he can say is that there are friends in groups, and now friends are scattered and go their separate ways. It's a pity that Ji Mou couldn't have a drink with these friends before he died."
Wei Lan didn't speak, and countless words came to her throat. She didn't know why, but she remembered that year when Lin Xia was beaten. After the fight between a group of young men and the Nancheng Army, they were drunk by the river and went boating on the lake. At that time, the moonlight was cool, and the young man had wide sleeves and a jade crown, and he was in high spirits.
She looked at the young man in front of him who was not worth the crown, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. The man's beautiful eyebrows glanced at everyone, and then said: "The third thing is that there was a luthier in my family in the past, and I regard him as a bosom friend. The qin master asked me for the score of "Guangling" many times, but I was stingy and refused to give it. I never thought that Ji's life was only a weak crown, but now he has no chance to give it to him."
Yan Lan under the stage was slightly taken aback, Ji Shao cast his eyes on Yan Lan, then raised his sleeves and sat down cross-legged, with the Changqin lying on his knees, he stroked the strings, and sighed: "Ji played this last Qu, if you can remember, "Guangling" is not the best of Ji Mou, then Ji Mou will have no regrets."
As he spoke, he plucked the strings. The audience was silent, only listening to the melodious sound of the piano, the sound of the piano was full of madness, but it was not afraid of life and death, Yan Lan quietly watched that person, and heard his meaning from the music.
He asked for this death himself, and he wanted to use this grand death to arouse public grievances and clear the crown prince's grievances. Moreover, he can't drag Wei Lan down.
Yan Lan knew what Ji Shao meant, and after having acquainted with him, he naturally understood the extraordinary stubbornness in this person's heart.
He listened to the music quietly, and then suddenly heard the sound of the flute, but it was Wei Lan standing behind him, blowing the jade flute.
The combination of the qin and the flute seemed to be back when the young man returned to the north. The young man joyfully played a welcoming pine, and Wei Lan respectfully returned the song.
Yan Lan's eyes turned red when he heard this, but he slowly receded. "Guangling" was finished, and the time had come. Ji Shao looked up at the sky, and said regretfully, "The time has come."
Wei Lan turned her head and asked the soldiers who had returned to the palace: "What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Your Majesty said that if you deceive people with evil words, you will not be pardoned."
The soldier answered tremblingly, Wei Lan nodded, and looked at Ji Shao: "Brother Ji, do you have something to ask me?"
"Words..." Ji Shao thought for a while, but smiled: "Talk to Kang Cheng, don't feel guilty. Give him my piano, he's been asking for it for a long time."
After finishing speaking, he put the piano in the distance, walked to the stage calmly, and knelt down straight.
Wei Lan couldn't bear to look at each other, sat back on the main seat, closed her eyes, then pulled out the token, and threw down the token with the word "cut".
"cut!"
Wei Lan gritted her teeth. The token fell to the ground, and a moment later, the sound of a head falling to the ground was heard.
The situation suddenly became chaotic, and the people around were crying and shouting. Wei Lan forced herself to go to the stage, bent down, and put away the piano.
Ji Shao's father walked over with red eyes and said respectfully, "Master Wei, maybe you asked me to collect Ah Shao's body?"
Wei Lan looked up blankly, and after a while, she nodded and walked down with Qin in her arms.
She braced herself and remained silent for a while. After getting into the carriage, Ran Mo suddenly said, "My lord, what's wrong with your hand?"
Wei Lan echoed slowly, only then did she realize that her hand holding the qin had already been cut by the qin strings to bleed.
She shook her head and said lightly, "Go to Ruan Mansion."
The carriage rattled, and Wei Lan felt exhausted. After a while, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Wei Lan heard the outside voice: "Your Majesty, it's Mr. Yan."
"come in."
Wei Lan responded aloud, and after a while, a young man in red jumped up, holding a sword in his hand, Wei Lan looked up at him, and said hoarsely, "Why didn't you save him?"
"He doesn't want to," Yan Lan said coldly, sitting opposite Wei Lan: "If I save him, you are the supervisor, what will you do?"
"I have my way." Wei Lan said a little tiredly, "If you do it today, I won't stop you."
"He stopped me." Yan Lan lowered his eyes: "Don't you know his temperament? Others can drag him down, but he doesn't want to drag anyone down. This is the path he chose, and he has to go , I will not stop him. If he is unwilling today, even if I risk my life, I will take him away."
Wei Lan didn't speak, and the carriage suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Yan Lan suddenly said, "Is it because of me?"
Wei Lan looked up at him, Yan Lan clenched his fists and stared at Wei Lan: "The third prince suddenly went all out to ascend the throne, is it because of my father's case?"
Wei Lan didn't answer him, Yan Lan seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "I see."
After speaking, I want to leave. Wei Lan grabbed him, pulled him back, and said coldly, "Stop!"
"Don't do anything," Wei Lan raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of pleading: "Yan Lan, I can't afford to owe anyone anymore."
There was never a moment when Wei Lan realized that this was a new life.
She set up this game for Yan Lan in her previous life. She thought that she had never changed, and was always the prime minister Wei Lan. What is Wei Lan, Prime Minister of Liang Liang, asking for? What they want is to give power to the government and the public, to have a long history, to stabilize the situation of the country, and to restore the Han Dynasty.
Wei Lan, the prime minister of Liang, her teacher and friend were murdered for ten days during the reform, but she can still serve the murderer as her teacher.
Wei Lan, the prime minister of Liang, has such a hard heart, she only wants the final result in everything, and she doesn't care about the process.
The current situation is not out of her control. When she decided to reverse the case for Yanlan, on the one hand, it was to protect Yanlan, and on the other hand, she was thinking about how to use this case to let the prince and Su Cheng fight each other, so that she could rise up step by step.
Su Cheng's aggressiveness in the middle certainly surprised her, but when she and Xie Zichen figured out Su Cheng's thoughts and methods, they immediately stood up again.
She is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and she will fill the court with people from her and Xie Zichen before the return of the crown prince. She and Xie Zichen will be the main heroes to welcome the return of the crown prince.
But there is no joy, let alone joy.
She suddenly discovered that those people in her life who thought they were unimportant and colorless turned out to be such vivid existences.
And she didn't think there was such an important person, and it has become such a huge bond.
She thought her heart was as cold as iron, but she found that before she knew it, she was already full of pride and agitated like a young man.
She was silent without words, Yan Lan looked at her with a frown, Wei Lan slowly came back to her senses, and said: "You hide first, when I need you, I will hang a red lantern at the door of Tongbao pawn shop, and you will come when you see it." Find me."
"Don't make trouble."
Hearing this, Yan Lan nodded and said without looking back, "I'm leaving."
After speaking, he jumped out of the carriage.
The carriage continued to move forward, all the way to the Ruan Mansion. After Wei Lan got out of the carriage and posted her name card, the Ruan family led him to the backyard.
Ruan Kangcheng was already drunk and turned into a pool of mud. Wei Lan was standing on the promenade with her qin in her arms, and saw Ruan Kangcheng lying on the ground, lifted the jug, and poured the wine on her face.
Wei Lan walked over, and the clogs made a rattling sound. Ruan Kangcheng heard the voice, but didn't turn his head, as if Wei Lan didn't exist, he only knew to drink with his eyes closed.
Wei Lan stopped in front of him, looked at Ruan Kangcheng's appearance, and frowned.
She didn't say much, just put down the violin, and then said: "Ah Shao asked me to tell you that the road was chosen by him, so there is no need to feel guilty. You asked him for this violin many times, but he didn't give it to you. This time for you."
Ruan Kangcheng didn't speak, he closed his eyes as if he didn't hear anything.
Wei Lan got up to leave, and after walking a few steps, she heard the person behind her say hoarsely, "Am I particularly useless?"
Wei Lan didn't make a sound.
After a long time, she finally said: "I waited for you all night, I thought you would come to save him."
"But I don't." Ruan Kangcheng laughed, opened his eyes, and there were tears in his eyes: "I'm afraid, I'm uneasy, I and he once said that we are brothers who will live and die together, but when the disaster comes, I don't even I don’t even have the courage to say a word.”
"I always thought that I was so powerful, and I kept telling him that one day I would become a famous official. However, when His Highness gave me a look, I was so scared that I couldn't speak. I was afraid that he would kill me."
"It's human nature." Wei Lan lowered her eyes and said calmly.
"What if it was Xie Zichen?" Ruan Kangcheng said suddenly, "If it was Xie Zichen who was beheaded, if you were me, would you just watch him die?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, she was thinking about Xie Zichen's beheaded appearance.
A sharp pain rose into the air, and just thinking about it made her feel unbearable.
"No." She said coldly: "If he is, he will bring down the entire imperial court, and I will save him."
Ruan Kangcheng didn't speak, Wei Lan stepped out of the mansion. After walking a few steps, there was a sound of laughter behind him. The laughter was mixed with cries, which made people feel sad.
"Ah Shao, Ah Shao..."
Ruan Kangcheng smiled while crying, holding the piano in his arms.
When Wei Lan walked out of the Ruan Mansion, big raindrops fell.
"Go to the palace."
She suddenly wanted to see Xie Zichen too much, wanted to confirm his safety.
She no longer dared to underestimate the weight of anyone in this world in her heart.
The carriage galloped into the palace, and the rain was so heavy that people couldn't see clearly. After Wei Lan was notified, Ran Mo let her into the palace with an umbrella. While walking, Wei Lan listened to the maid beside her quickly report the situation in the palace.
"Your Majesty said that before the enthronement ceremony, the city gates of Shengjing should be completely closed."
"Why?" Wei Lan's eyes were full of coldness. Completely closing the city gates of Shengjing meant that it would be difficult to send anyone in and out.
"The matter of Mr. Ji has been heard by His Majesty today, and His Majesty is very dissatisfied."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she probably already understood.
Ji Shao made Su Cheng panic, so what he thought of was to lock up Shengjing. No matter what, the news could not be spread. After he ascended the throne, everything would be safe.
Gu Chen was already dead, and currently no one dared to hold his enthronement ceremony. Lin Che took the initiative to take his place, and it was scheduled in three days.
This is the latest auspicious day, and it cannot be pushed any further.
Wei Lan walked quickly into the palace with the rain, and Su Cheng was painting in the imperial study.
Wei Lan knelt on the ground to pay her respects, but Su Cheng remained silent. After he finished drawing a picture, he saw the young man kneeling on the ground with an indifferent expression, and his heart finally softened. He took the handkerchief from Wang Guoliang, and after cleaning his hands, he didn't mention today's matter, he turned to Wei Lan and said, "I agreed to take you to see Xie Zichen today, let's go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Cheng is so easy to talk, which makes Wei Lan a little uneasy.
Wei Lan followed Su Cheng to the secret road. Su Cheng obeyed the agreement and did not torture Xie Zichen for one night. He seemed to be in better spirits, but Wei Lan could still clearly see the wounds and brand marks that had just scabbed on his body. She clenched her fists and said nothing.
Ji Shao's death echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help thinking, would Xie Zichen die here
Human life is such a fragile thing, she and Xie Zichen are always scheming, but how can people do it
Her eyes fell on Xie Zichen, Su Cheng sat aside, drank tea and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
As he said that, he blew away the leaves floating on the tea, and said casually: "Finish, let me tell you about today's events."
"Your Majesty keeps his promise, and I can see it. What Your Majesty wants to say, why not say it now."
Seeing that Xie Zichen was fine, Wei Lan didn't want to say anything else. Su Cheng nodded and said, "What's your explanation for what happened today?"
Hearing Su Cheng's tone, Wei Lan knew that Su Cheng knew the whole process.
She knelt down resolutely, kowtowed and said: "I have been classmates with Ji Shao for many years. I can't bear to see him being humiliated. It is my fault. I ask Your Majesty to punish me."
"Don't bear the humiliation?" Su Cheng laughed out loud, propping his chin with his hand, his eyes fell on Wei Lan unscrupulously. Xie Zichen couldn't help but look cold, he didn't speak, and heard Su Cheng continue: "Alan, you are always so gentle, so considerate, and so kind to everyone."
"Obviously I am your monarch, why can't you be loyal to me like Ji Shao is to the crown prince?"
"Wei Lan is loyal to His Majesty, and the heavens can learn from Wei Lan's heart."
Wei Lan really broke her mouth, but Su Cheng laughed, and said softly: "You are good at talking. But you always do things that make me sad. I heard about your actions today, and I am very sad. You came here At that time, I kept thinking about how I could vent my anger towards you, but I couldn't bear to do anything that was bad for you. Finally, I thought of a way, does Ah Lan know what it is?"
"Wei Lan doesn't know." Wei Lan said with difficulty. In fact, she had already guessed it. As soon as she said the words, she heard the sound of a whip slamming on someone. Xie Zichen gritted his teeth and said nothing, Wei Lan's face was cold.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Su Cheng laughed loudly: "Look, isn't this a good way!"
"Yes." Wei Lan said decisively, she raised her head, looked at Su Cheng, and smiled: "It's just that His Majesty has such an idea, why bother to do it yourself? Please hand over the whip to Wei Lan," she said. He straightened up, and stretched out his plain white palm to Su Cheng. Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then saw the person in front of him frowned, as if with an extra charm, he said softly: "Come on, Ah Cheng, give me the whip."
Su Cheng subconsciously handed the whip into Wei Lan's hands. At that moment, Wei Lan whipped the whip and hit herself hard.
"Alan!"
"Alan!"
The two spoke at the same time, and Wei Lan knelt respectfully, without changing her face, and said: "Your Majesty is angry in his heart, so he should come towards Wei Lan. If His Majesty can't do it, Wei Lan will come by himself. Wei Lan is loyal to His Majesty, and he is no less loyal than you. Ji Shao, even if His Majesty orders Wei Lan to commit suicide, Wei Lan will never say anything. What happened today was at Wei Lan's fault, and Wei Lan should ask for punishment."
After finishing speaking, Wei Lan manipulated the whip and lashed herself on the back with one whip after another.
"stop!"
Xie Zichen said angrily: "Weilan, are you crazy, stop!"
Su Cheng didn't speak, he watched quietly as the man beat him with a whip, spattering blood. She was really able to do it without any hesitation. Su Cheng's expression didn't move. After a long time, he finally became a little irritable. He raised his hand to stop her movement, and said impatiently, "Enough."
He thought he was torturing the two of them, but at this moment, he felt a huge sense of powerlessness.
Wei Lan threw the whip aside and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that her clothes were torn, Su Cheng responded, threw a cloak over, and said calmly, "Put it on, there are still many things waiting for you to do."
Wei Lan put on Sioux Cheng's clothes, and made a sound in embarrassment. Su Cheng turned his head and went out first. Wei Lan looked back at Xie Zichen, opened her mouth, and said, "Wait for me at night."
She didn't make a sound, but she spoke very slowly, Xie Zichen could guess what she meant just by the shape of her mouth.
He frowned, watching Wei Lan staggering and walking out.
Su Cheng walked a few steps, turned around and saw Wei Lan walking out with her own clothes on, unsteady steps.
With such a slender figure and pale complexion, she looks like a little girl, which makes people feel pity.
Su Cheng frowned, couldn't help slowing down, raised his hand to hold her cold palm, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you look like a woman, just a few whips, you can't suffer like this."
"Your Majesty taught me the lesson."
Wei Lan was perfunctory, and Su Cheng couldn't help turning her head to the side, seeing her beautiful face under the lights.
It was raining heavily when she came, and some of her hair stuck to her face with water droplets.
She seemed to be thinking about something, without her usual cold defenses, she seemed to be a little girl from some family, who was being led by him and strolled along the palace corridor.
Su Cheng couldn't help but jump in his heart. He suddenly had an extremely unrealistic fantasy in his mind. At such a moment, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a woman.
He can marry her, make her his queen, and enjoy the country with him. He couldn't help but stop, Wei Lan looked over in confusion, Su Cheng couldn't hold back, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
"His Majesty?!"
Wei Lan shouted coldly, trying to shake him off.
Such a rebellious behavior instantly angered Su Cheng. He pulled her into his arms and said angrily, "Why are you angry? I will kiss you, so what? What did you say to me back then? Did you forget that you provoked me first!"
"Your Majesty," Wei Lan calmed down, and quickly said, "Back then, Wei Lan was very careless."
"But I'm not." Su Cheng said calmly. He looked at the person in front of him, and the words he had suppressed for many years rolled between his lips and teeth. He held her firmly, looked down at her cold expression, and was full of anger in his heart: "You If you provoke me, do you want to leave like this? I am not an unreasonable person, Wei Lan. If you want power, I will give it to you; When it comes to pampering, I will obey you. But I only have one—”
He lowered his head and approached her, his beautiful eyes were full of warning: "I want you, if I am the only one in your heart."
Hearing this, Wei Lan almost laughed out loud.
She raised her head and met Su Cheng's gaze: "Your Majesty said these words to me, is it as a monarch or as an ordinary person."
"What about the monarch, what about ordinary people?"
"If your majesty is asking the question as a monarch, then the subject will naturally not disobey. Your majesty is the emperor, the only emperor in Wei Lan's heart."
"What about ordinary people?" Su Cheng frowned. Wei Lan smiled and raised her eyebrows: "If it's an ordinary person, Wei Lan would like to ask, why?"
Su Cheng was stunned, and Wei Lan continued: "Your Majesty, the relationship is always between the two sides. Why does Your Majesty think I protect Xie Zichen? That's because he has been protecting me for so many years. It wasn't that I liked him at the beginning. At that time, Wei Lan Lan Shao is inexperienced, and when he sees a beauty, he wants to make some friends, and he does a lot of ridiculous things, but he has always tolerated me, protected me, and taught me feelings."
"But what did Your Majesty do?" Wei Lan couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty has always asked Wei Lan for things, but has Your Majesty ever given Wei Lan anything?"
Su Cheng didn't speak, Wei Lan stroked his hand away, turned and left. Looking at her back, Su Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Is that why you left Huan Heng?"
Wei Lan paused, and after a long time, she calmly said, "Probably."
After speaking, she left. She was still wearing his cloak, and the blood was dripping out, which was particularly eye-catching. Su Cheng quietly watched her figure gradually move away. He wanted to keep her and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Wei Lan walked out of the courtyard, and immediately said to the secret guard: "Let Tian Jiu and Chang Pei come to see me, and call Uncle Jiu."
After hearing the person she ordered, Ran Mo knew that Wei Lan was going to make a move.
Ran Mo followed Wei Lan into the carriage, frowned and said, "My lord, are you going to rescue Mr. Xie tonight?"
"Yeah." Wei Lan closed her eyes a little tired. Ran Mo said anxiously: "But...would it be too risky?"
"Tomorrow Su City will close the city gate, and it will be too difficult to send Xie Zichen out at that time."
"Then wait until..."
"Wait until Wang Ning's army attacks Shengjing?" Wei Lan opened her eyes, knowing what Ran Mo meant. She shook her head: "Zichen can't hold on."
If Xie Zichen didn't hand over the jade seal for a day, Su Cheng wouldn't let him go. She had seen Ji Shao's death and understood the fragility of human life.
She can't afford it.
To her, Xie Zichen was a gamble that she dared not place a bet on.
Of course she could wait for Wang Ning to enter the capital as Xie Zichen planned, but maybe when she heard Ruan Kangcheng's cry and saw Su Cheng lashing Xie Zichen with a whip, she suddenly understood that even if Xie Zichen could hold it, she would hold it. Can't stop.
"My son..." Ran Mo worried: "Why on earth, you and Mr. Xie have come to this point? We directly detained Su Cheng, isn't that good?"
"We have lost the best opportunity to detain him."
Wei Lan said calmly: "The best time to detain him is the night when he came to me to give Xie Zichen medicine. But that night I don't know what he is going to do. I can only guess what he is going to do. To blame Xie Zichen, but I don't know more. I don't even know what he is going to do, and if he directly detains a prince for no reason, it will not be enough for several Wei families."
"Now you can see clearly that Su Cheng made two-handed preparations at that time. Lin Che belonged to him. If I didn't do these things, Lin Che would do them too. The result is the same. And if Xie Zichen made any evasive actions, Su Cheng would guess that it was me, Xie Zichen wasn't the only one who was arrested at this time, even I wanted to go in."
"Then now, aren't you afraid?"
Dye Mo hesitated. Wei Lan smiled bitterly, she turned her head and looked towards the imperial city.
"Dyeing ink, sometimes, a lot of feelings don't realize how important they are until you realize that you are about to lose them."
"I would like to break my body and bones for him, regardless of myself. Since he is mine, I should protect him. It is my incompetence as his wife to let him suffer so much."
Ran Mo was silent for a moment, watching Wei Lan quietly staring at the imperial city, for a long time, finally spoke at an inopportune time.
"My lord, it's already at this time, so don't fool me with your femininity. I want to get married, and I won't listen to your nonsense."
Wei Lan: "..."
I really want to throw this maid out.

Mo Shubai: "Ranmo, is it appropriate for you to spoil the atmosphere at such a critical moment?"
Ran Mo: "I've put up with her for a long time, really. It's fine to pretend to be tough every day, but she always wants to brainwash me. If she keeps like this, I really can't get married."
Xie Tong: "It's okay, I'll marry you."
Ran Mo: "Get lost! Call me wife master!!"
Xie Tong: "..."
Mo Shubai: "Uh... You probably really won't be able to get married."
