Wei Lan didn't speak, watching Su Cheng quietly kneeling on the ground. She had never seen this man in such a state of embarrassment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
30,000 private troops, three years of food storage, and the secret line of Sioux City, does she want it
Of course I want to.
Huan Heng is powerful in the north, and sooner or later the north and the south will face each other. It is not a good thing for the court to rely too much on the Huan family, and it is not a good thing for her and Xie Zichen to rely too much on Huan Heng and Wang Ning.
The Xie family has some troops from the Xie family's own mansion, but the Changxinhou mansion has nothing but the soldiers brought out by her.
If she had her own soldiers, instead of relying on checks and balances, and relying on the relationship between the North and the South to survive, then her life would be much smoother.
With military power, no one dared to say anything even if she was a woman. Without military power, she was restrained everywhere.
Wei Lan quickly thought about the difficulty of saving the concubines and children of Shangguan's family and Sucheng. After weighing it, she slowly said: "What about you?"
"Me?" Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "No one can save me, and I don't want to cause you any trouble. And..."
Su Cheng lowered his eyes and said lightly, "If you lose, what's the value of living?"
Wei Lan didn't speak, she understood him.
Sometimes it is unbearable for people to live. If you have ever stood in a high position and once owned it, it is difficult to accept the life of crawling on the ground.
For proud people like them, death has never been the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is living without dignity.
It is precisely because she knew that she didn't even open her mouth to persuade him. She might be able to ask the emperor to have mercy on Baosu Cheng's life, but even if the emperor let him go and the world let him go, Su Cheng would not let him go .
After the two were silent for a moment, Su Cheng sighed, and he looked up at her. He had never had such a peaceful and gentle appearance, like a crystal cleaned by water, crystal clear.
"Alan," his expression was full of worry: "You are a girl, what will you do in the future?"
Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly, "Actually, I don't understand why you people all ask me what to do when you know I'm a woman? I'm alive and well, so what should I do?" ?”
"Then if one day you are discovered..."
"Have you ever thought, Your Highness, that one day you will lose?"
Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what she meant.
Wei Lan said calmly: "Instead of living like a wimpy woman in this world, let me live a good life for a few years. The Changxinhou Mansion is now stable, and my brother will also have his career. He won't just because of me." Being implicated, now I just need to live a good life like in the past."
"What about Xie Zichen?" Su Cheng frowned: "His temperament won't allow you to stay in the court hall."
"I can't tolerate it," Wei Lan lowered her eyes: "Then it can't be tolerated."
"Alan." Su Cheng looked at the person in front of him, his heart was full of worry, he was about to leave, now that his family had explained everything, everything was settled, he had nothing to worry about, the only thing he cared about was the person in front of him up.
He was jealous, resentful, and desperate. During these days in the prison, he thought about the past day after day, until today.
Now that he was about to leave suddenly, he actually found that he didn't hold any resentment at all.
When this person sat in front of him, with the same peaceful and gentle posture back then, Su Cheng suddenly discovered that this feeling, after you wash it clean, peel it off, and not be disturbed by the outside world, is actually so beautiful.
He wanted to touch her, but he was afraid of disturbing her, so he could only say: "You are a girl, why are you so greedy for power? In this era, it is too difficult for you to have such a way."
Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing.
"I'm not greedy for power," she lowered her eyebrows, and said slowly, "What I'm greedy for is myself."
Such hard work.
Such a greedy self.
Such a tough self.
Such a shining self.
"Your Highness, power is important to me, but if I put power first, then I would not have risked saving Xie Zichen in advance and left myself in the palace. At that time, I would have died if I stayed in the palace. heart."
"I'm sorry..." Su Cheng said hoarsely: "I..."
"Your Highness did nothing wrong," Wei Lan interrupted him, knowing what he meant, and comforted him: "Your Highness has given Wei Lan a lot of tolerance. What Wei Lan did back then, any monarch would Wei Lan will not be tolerated. There is no right or wrong in this matter, just different positions."
Su Cheng fell silent, and Wei Lan looked up at her.
After living a new life, she was surprised to find that the most relaxing moment was actually at this moment.
Knowing that this is a person who is about to die, and feeling the warmth and peace brought by this person who has consumed all his life force, they sat on the ground and talked so quietly, Wei Lan actually felt that there was nothing unforgivable, and there was nothing intolerable, Instead, all the brisk memories of that year came to my mind.
He was also such a beautiful, romantic young man.
He also had such innocent, uninhibited good times.
"Your Highness said that he likes A-Lan, but why does he like A-Lan?" Wei Lan said slowly, clearing her thoughts: "Your Highness likes A-Lan's character, so what if one day A-Lan is not A-Lan? "
Listening to her words, Su Cheng recalled the past.
The moment when his heart moved for the first time was probably when she fell gracefully under the peach blossom tree. At that time, even though he thought she was annoying, he couldn't deny that the unique flamboyance of this person was deeply fascinating. and appreciate.
What does he like about her
Like this kind of thing, it may be difficult to say clearly, but you always know that what you like is that person, that unique soul.
"Whether it's Your Highness or Zichen, they always want me to give up what I want, to give up my ideals, ambitions, and pursuits, and to take a comfortable path and hide behind men. But if Alan really does this "Wei Lan looked at Su Cheng with a smile that was not a smile: "When Ah Lan was like an ordinary woman who was content in the inner house and was entangled in a small space, you said that you would share power with me and promise to grow old with me? Can it really be fulfilled?"
"I'm afraid it's just a few years later, when you grow old," Wei Lan laughed out loud, "Then ask Ah Lan again, Ah Lan, how did you become what you are today?"
Su Cheng couldn't speak, he looked at the bright eyes of the person in front of him, and couldn't imagine how this person would settle in the inner house, how to hide behind others.
"If it is to save Zichen, to make Zichen live better, not to mention power, even life, I can give him. This is what I should do as a wife. But if I want to do it for this Abandoning myself emotionally, Your Highness, this is not giving in for him, it is asking me to kill the person Zichen loves with my own hands."
"Leave a skin he doesn't love in this world, and let him miss the past A Lan. It's better to let the person he loves live forever and live well. Love is precious, but it is not irreplaceable, and it is not necessary for life. In my life, Wei Lan, I cannot tolerate the slightest compromise."
"Just like Your Highness," Wei Lan smiled. If there was wine, she would probably toast a glass, and said calmly, "I can't even bow my head."
"Yeah..." Su Cheng already understood what Wei Lan meant, so he couldn't help but smile wryly.
"To this day, I miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Some people seek stability in this world, while others seek success and fame. I envy Alan back then, if Alan is really like an ordinary woman..."
Su Cheng laughed out loud: "That's not worth my affection."
"Alan," he looked at her and said softly, "You did the right thing."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wei Lan said gently, and couldn't help laughing. Su Cheng stood up, pulled out a brick from the wall, and took out a booklet and a token from it.
"The people in the booklet are all my secret threads. The person named Qing Shu in the secret thread knows that he is the head of the entire Anbu. Thirty thousand troops are stationed in my fief. You can call them directly with tokens, but it's better to train yourself to take over a whole army." For a while, if you ask the book about the specific matters, he will tell you the location of the private vault is on the map, and you can just find it. There are other things, I have written them in."
Su Cheng handed everything to Wei Lan, Wei Lan got up to take it, but couldn't help but said: "Your Highness gave me all these, why?"
As she spoke, she frowned and looked up: "Why not someone else?"
"Aside from you, who else could be?" Su Cheng couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Alan, in this court, I'm afraid only Alan cares about what will happen to Dachu. Others care more about what happens to the emperor. I will hand over the 30,000 troops to Xie Zichen, and Xie Zichen may not save my family, I am afraid that after taking over the 30,000 troops, he will clean up the Shangguan family."
"I also can't allow the Shangguan family to continue to be in the noble family." Wei Lan reminded, as a royal family who failed in the palace change, it was extremely difficult for her to keep the Shangguan family alive. So she continued: "I can only ensure that they are alive, and then send them to a small country like Kucha. I will send someone to escort them along the way, and prepare enough money and food for them so that they can settle there."
Su Cheng nodded, seemed to be extremely satisfied, and said gently: "That's very good, thank you, Alan."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she didn't know what was going on, and felt heavy in her heart for a moment.
The past seems to be in the past, the gentle appearance of this cruel and unruly prince makes people feel sad. Wei Lan looked at him quietly, and after a while, she took a step back, then knelt down respectfully, and saluted Su Cheng.
"Your Majesty," she said respectfully, "Wei Lan is unfaithful as a subject and unrighteous as a friend. In the next life, if she can be a monarch and subject again with Your Majesty, Wei Lan will definitely be willing to pacify Kyushu for the king."
Su Cheng smiled and said nothing, looked at the prostrate person in front of him, and after a while, said in a hoarse voice: "Alan," he finally couldn't bear it: "Come here, I'll hug you, okay?"
Wei Lan froze slightly, she didn't look up, and after a while, she finally said: "Your Majesty, I never let others get close."
Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said in a daze, "It's okay, you restrain your temper, and it will be easier to walk with him in the future, so I can feel relieved."
Wei Lan didn't speak, and knelt quietly, feeling so unexplainably sad in her heart. Just like when Ji Shao died.
When people around you leave one by one, good or bad, no matter how strong your heart is, you will inevitably feel sour.
"Let's go," Su Cheng no longer made things difficult for her: "It's late at night, Ah Lan, let's go back."
"Farewell, Wei Lan, take care, Your Highness."
Wei Lan kowtowed, then got up and left.
Su Cheng watched her back. After all these years, this person seemed to have never changed.
It seemed that it was always the young man who came on horseback, the white-robed crane, with a smile in his eyes, pulling him into his arms when the startled horse almost fell off.
He watched her drift away, turned around, and took out a bottle of poison from the depths of the space.
Wei Lan walked out of the dungeon, feeling that the night wind was a bit chilly.
"Winter is coming soon, isn't it?"
She asked Ran Mo next to her, and Ran Mo nodded and said, "Yes, it's a bit cold."
Wei Lan looked at the sky, suddenly thought of Su Cheng's state just now, and reacted abruptly.
"not good!"
She turned around and ran inside.
Her heart was beating fast, and she didn't know why, so she felt extremely scared.
Obviously it was the ending that she already knew, but when it really came, when it really appeared, she would feel panic and uneasy.
She rushed into the prison at the fastest speed in her life, and heard the noise of the jailers from afar. She pushed away the jailer in front of Su Cheng's cell, and then saw the man vomiting blood profusely.
His crimson official robe was stained with blood, and his pale face was full of pain. Wei Lan rushed to him, hugged him into her arms, and said angrily, "Call the doctor!"
However, at that moment, Su Cheng didn't know where the strength came from, but he pulled her over.
He grabbed her neck, bit her lips fiercely, and invaded her mouth with his tongue, which was full of the taste of blood like rusty iron.
He seemed to have poured all his courage and strength into this kiss, overbearing and desperate.
His tears fell into the kiss mixed with blood, and Wei Lan stayed in place. Listen to him murmuring repeatedly: "I like you... A Lan... I like you..."
He gradually lost his strength and finally couldn't move anymore. He leaned against her chest and said weakly, "Alan, do I look good?"
His voice was so low and weak, Wei Lan didn't know why, but just remembered the first time she saw this person that year.
She didn't know what happened to the man who was as gorgeous as a monster under the peach blossom tree. It seemed that all the suppressed sorrows were pouring into this point, and suddenly burst out.
She said hoarsely: "It's beautiful, it's very beautiful."
Su Cheng smiled, leaned on Wei Lan's shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Alan," he said softly, "Be yourself and live well."
Wei Lan didn't respond, her tears fell on his face.
When she came to this world, she and her family never shed tears, she and Huan Heng never shed tears, Wei Hua didn't shed tears when she left Beijing, and Ji Shao didn't shed tears when she beheaded, but at this moment, she felt countless sorrows flooding up.
She hugged the person in her arms, tears streaming down her face, and slowly tightened her arms.
"My son..."
Ran Mo was worried, she had never seen Wei Lan like this, she said uneasy: "You..."
"go out… "
Wei Lan spoke hoarsely, her teeth chattering.
Ran Mo was taken aback for a moment, then retreated, and ordered everyone to be kept outside, and at the same time asked the jailer to report to the palace, the Third Prince's Mansion, and Xie Zichen.
The surrounding area quieted down, Wei Lan hugged Su Cheng quietly, as if hugging an inexplicable support for a moment.
This person died, and before he died, he was probably the only person who could understand her.
Because they have the same arrogance, the same determination.
No one else can understand that she is a woman, and she is still fighting for something in such a difficult time.
Others couldn't understand why a prince in Sucheng wanted to seek rebellion and fight for the throne.
Now that Su Cheng is dead, before he died, he told her, Ah Lan, be yourself and live a good life.
But how can she live well? How can she live well
He's treasonous to death, can she pretend to be a man for the rest of her life? On that day, she might follow in his footsteps, take a drink of poisoned wine, and die calmly.
However, death is not terrible. What is even more terrible is that no one will understand her when the time comes.
The only person in this world who said she did the right thing was Su Cheng.
Even Lin Xia never said that she did the right thing.
No one understands her, and no one understands her. All of them are trying to dissuade her, let her back down, let her stand behind Xie Zichen, let her be the person who begs for Xie Zichen's love to spend her life.
She has obviously compromised so much, and she has learned so much.
She learns to understand the world, learns to love someone, she cuts off her youthful flamboyance, and cuts off her own flirtatiousness. , she was forced to disguise herself as a man to get out of the house, and was forced to accept their self-cleaning understanding. She understood how to cherish a person, how to love a person, how to guard a person wholeheartedly, and how to respect a person.
She has changed so much, but the world keeps telling her, it's not enough, you haven't changed enough.
One slap after another slapped her hard on the face, she gritted her teeth and stood, desperately walking forward. She endured hardships that ordinary people could not endure, and she worked so hard to move forward, and all she wanted was justice.
She wants to realize her ambitions with her own ability, wants to create a prosperous world, wants to see the seas are clear, the rivers are clean, the world is peaceful, the Kyushu is unified, and the Han Dynasty is eternal.
What she didn't do in her previous life, she wants to do in this life.
But all her efforts were taken for granted and ignored by others, even the person she thought would always be standing beside her had to tell her, Wei Lan, you are wrong, when you want to change—
She finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She suddenly felt that this road was too tiring and difficult to walk.
She hugged Su Cheng, all the suppressed emotions burst out, she buried her head in his neck, tears fell silently.
She hadn't cried in nearly twenty years.
Because in the past twenty years, she has never been so desperate. She didn't know what to do, her mind was at a loss.
The surroundings became noisy, Xie Zichen heard the news of Su Cheng's death, and immediately brought people over, and finally came to the prison, and saw this scene.
Su Cheng leaned against Wei Lan, and Wei Lan hugged him tightly, buried her head in his neck, without saying a word.
Xie Zichen made everyone retreat and came to Wei Lan. He squatted down, bit by bit, pushed Wei Lan away from Su Cheng's hand, Wei Lan held onto Su Cheng tightly, and Xie Zichen couldn't help shouting angrily: "He's already dead!"
"I know… "
Wei Lan made a hoarse voice, with a hint of pleading in her tone: "Let me hug him... just for a while..."
Xie Zichen was slightly taken aback, he had never heard Wei Lan's voice like this, nor had he seen Wei Lan's appearance so weak.
He didn't move anymore, he let go of his hand slowly, and sat quietly beside Wei Lan without saying a word.
"He just said, let me hug him," Wei Lan said suddenly, Xie Zichen listened quietly, and then heard her say: "I refused. When I came back, he had already taken poison."
"Um."
"I should have hugged him."
Wei Lan said hoarsely: "I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I learned to stay away from them. In fact, I have changed a lot, but I don't like to say it. I think that if I do it, you will understand."
"I know." Xie Zichen didn't know what to say, his feelings were always restrained, he didn't know how to express, so he could only emphasize again: "I know."
"No, you don't know." Wei Lan slowly raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, she looked at Xie Zichen quietly.
Xie Zichen's heart throbbed violently. He had never seen this person cry before, and he never knew that a person's tears would make people give up all principles.
He wanted to reach out to hug her, but he understood in the other person's eyes that this person didn't need his hug at this moment.
It was as if a high wall had suddenly been built in her heart, and she looked at the world coldly.
"Zichen, you, Lin Xia, it will be hard for you all your life to understand how much I have changed and sacrificed."
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he knew she was right. It is impossible for him to really understand her, because he is not her, and he has never seen her world, even if she has described it, but he will never be able to put himself in the same place. The humiliation and anger in my heart when I was a young lady who didn't move forward.
He couldn't understand, and naturally he couldn't give a correct response.
Looking at Xie Zichen's appearance, Wei Lan suddenly felt a little tired.
He has always been very rational, and he understands all the truths, but he doesn't understand, no matter how smart he is, he still doesn't understand.
She slowly put down Su Cheng, got up in silence, and walked outside.
Her steps were sloppy, and she seemed extremely tired. After Xie Zichen ordered the Minister of Dali Temple who followed him to deal with the rest of the matter, he quickly chased after him. After catching up behind Wei Lan, he felt a little timid again, so he slowed down and followed behind her quietly, without saying anything.
Wei Lan came to the door, Ran Mo went to drive the carriage, Xie Zichen stood beside her, thought for a while, took off his cloak, and put it on Wei Lan.
"It's cold at night," he said awkwardly, "Your body is cold, don't catch the cold."
Wei Lan didn't speak, the carriage rushed over, and she got into the carriage supported by Ran Mo. Xie Zichen stood in front of the carriage, he didn't know whether he should go up or not, so he stopped the carriage and remained motionless.
Wei Lan looked up at him, knowing what he meant.
He is like this, people say that Master Xie of Yushitai has iron teeth, copper teeth and tongue like lotus flowers, but when it comes to feelings, he never wants to say a word. Wei Lan usually coaxed him, but today she was tired and couldn't coax him anymore, so she looked at him quietly and said slowly, "Is there anything else?"
"I..." Xie Zichen worked hard, held back for a long time, and finally said: "Don't be sad."
Wei Lan nodded, put down the curtain, and said lightly, "Let's go."
"Alan!" Xie Zichen couldn't help but grabbed the wall of the carriage. He didn't know what to say, but he knew he had to say it. He looked at Wei Lan and felt that he was more at a loss than a major event in the court. Wei Lan looked at him quietly, Xie Zichen was stared at by such eyes, and felt countless grievances in his heart for a moment, and said hoarsely: "Alan, what did I do wrong?"
"you have not."
Wei Lan was a little tired: "I'm just tired, let me go back and rest for a while."
Having said that, Xie Zichen couldn't stop him. He let go of his hand, and the car curtain fell, covering Wei Lan's face. Xie Zichen stood beside the carriage, thinking that Wei Lan would not talk to him anymore, so he heard the other party say: "Zichen."
Xie Zichen looked up into the carriage and heard the other party slowly say: "I let you go not because I don't care about this relationship. It is because I care. I hope this relationship will always be the best."
The Wei Lan in your heart will always be the Wei Lan you love.
The Xie Zichen in my heart will always be the Xie Zichen I love.
The carriage rattled away, stepping on the moonlight.
Xie Zichen watched the carriage quietly, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in.
He knew that this was Wei Lan's confession, and also understood what Wei Lan meant. But he felt sore in his heart.
He loves this person, wants to accompany her, pamper her, protect her, protect her from wind and rain, and pamper her to the point of willful indulgence.
He did want her response.
But this response should not be in such a way, in such a form, or in such a tone.
Alan who bowed his head and compromised like this made him feel very distressed. When she insisted, he was annoyed and worried. When she really bowed her head and apologized, he resented himself for pushing her hard.
Wei Lan rested overnight, and went to court as usual the next day. The news of Su Cheng's death shocked the government and the public. Everyone was wondering what to do with the prince, but he made a move ahead of time and took his own life.
Everyone can imagine that if he is alive, he will appear in front of everyone, probably in a red robe and golden crown, with a small fan stretched out in front of him, and then sneering and saying to everyone: "This king's life has never been something that you people can do." It's decided." Like.
Although his death was shocking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As for the handling of the Three Emperors' Uterus Change, the emperor handed over the full authority to Xie Zichen to lead the Dali Temple.
Zuo Quan, the new Minister of Dali Temple, was single-handedly promoted by Wei Lan, but only Wei Lan knew about it. Zuo Quan's promotion has been very stable. Although there are many traces of her activities behind her back, she is almost never the one who came out in person. Even Xie Zichen didn't know that Zuo Quan belonged to Wei Lan.
Xie Zichen has always been a ruthless person, if Wei Lan asks him to release the Shangguan family, Xie Zichen will definitely refuse, even if he tells Xie Zichen that this is a deal between her and Su Cheng, Xie Zichen will probably feel that everyone is dead , but also to fulfill the promise to do
Su Cheng probably chose Wei Lan because he was familiar with Xie Zichen's temperament. Wei Lan has always been a man of his word, and if he agrees to Sioux City's affairs, it will naturally be done.
Maybe Xie Zichen went there in person, so she didn't want to reveal that Zuo Quan was her own, so after secretly ordering Zuo Quan, she went to look for Wang Xi.
When he went to the palace, Wang Xi was about to go out. When he saw Wei Lan coming, Wang Xi asked someone to welcome her in, and said with a smile, "I was going to look for you, so you came."
"Looking for me?" Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Wang Xi say, "Yeah, I wanted to ask you for favors."
"Tell me?" Wei Lan followed Wang Xi to sit at the table, and Wang Xi poured her tea, a little confused: "Speaking of this matter... I'm afraid that A Lan will not agree, but I still have to fight. It's A Che's matter..."
Speaking of Lin Che, Wei Lan understood.
Lin Che and Wang Xi have known each other since childhood, and their hearts are biased. Even if they are brothers, there is a distinction between closeness and estrangement.
Wei Lan frowned: "Ah Xi wants to save Ah Che? Does Kang Cheng know about this?"
"He knows." Wang Xi nodded, knelt and sat opposite Wei Lan, tapped his palms with a small fan, and said slowly: "He didn't make a sound. But to be honest, no matter what Kang Cheng thinks, I want to save Ah Che Yes. Maybe I need to be hypocritical to others, but I’ll tell the truth when I’m dealing with Ah Lan.” Wang Xi smiled wryly, and looked up at Wei Lan: “Ache is like a younger brother to me. My relationship with Ah Che is the deepest."
"I know his experience very well. I am not surprised that he betrayed His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Then you still forgive him?"
"I'm not forgiving," Wang Xi shook her head. "I'm not qualified to talk about forgiveness. All I did was save him as a brother. I know that he committed a serious crime. He can be demoted to a commoner and then become a monk. Imprisoned in the Huguo Temple forever. He can also be a medical officer and go to the battlefield to save more people. Ah Lan, death is useless, it is better to let him live and atone for what he did."
"You tell me this, I have nothing to agree or not," Wei Lan took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "But I'm afraid that other people will not agree, Ah Xi, Ah Shao is dead after all. Enemies are more hateful, just like Xie Zichen, I should be more hateful to Su Cheng."
"But he didn't hate me." Wei Lan laughed mockingly.
Wang Xi lowered her eyes and said hoarsely: "I know, but Ah Lan, death is meaningless. If Ah Che dies, Ah Shao can come back to life. I won't stop it."
"Ah Xi," Wei Lan smiled, "Actually, even if Ah Che's death can bring Ah Shao back to life, you won't let Ah Che die."
Wang Xi remained silent, and Wei Lan said with a flat face: "People have a choice in their hearts. This is not a shameful thing. People have to face human nature. It is enough not to destroy their conscience. In fact, I will Here, there is also one thing I want to discuss with Axi, I plan to protect the concubine Ji and the child of Shangguan's family and Sucheng."
Wang Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Why didn't you go directly to Zichen? He is in charge of this case, and I wanted to ask you to persuade him."
"Do you think he is someone who would change his principles for the sake of his feelings?"
Wei Lan looked up at Wang Xi, but Wang Xi didn't speak. He was somewhat sure of Xie Zichen's behavior style, so instead of looking for Xie Zichen directly, he wanted to start with Wei Lan.
However, after Wei Lan reminded her like this, Wang Xi couldn't help but start thinking about changing the direction of her strategy. Wei Lan glanced at Wang Xi's expression, and said calmly, "Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to go through Xie Zichen."
"Oh?" Wang Xi looked back and said, "What does Ah Lan mean?"
"Think of a way to get the courtiers and the people to ask for amnesty."
"The new emperor usually grants amnesty when he ascends the throne, but the amnesty palace turns into a guilty minister..."
"It's up to us. We need to persuade His Majesty. Your Majesty is a person who cares about face. He has always said that he is a wise king. A wise king who hates his brother so much cannot help being narrow-minded. Let's write a few dramas first, and then talk about it." The matter between our majesty and the third prince, and then we will act out the follow-up of the old man who killed the third prince after his majesty ascended the throne, and asked a few famous Confucian scholars to write a few commentary articles, saying that doing so is too vicious and vicious, and there is no tolerance for it Quantity, pass it on among the people."
Wang Xi listened, nodded, Wei Lan took a sip of tea, and continued: "It's time, find a chance to take your Majesty down for a stroll, and listen to what the people say, and when the time comes, I will bring up the amnesty. If you think about it, it’s pretty sure.”
"What if it doesn't work?" Wang Xi frowned, Wei Lan smiled, tapped her palm with a small fan and said, "If it doesn't work, you and I have to think about what to use to redeem someone. The emperor is also a businessman. "
"Alan is very right." Wang Xi relaxed, poured tea for Wei Lan with a smile, and couldn't help asking: "Why does Alan want to protect the official family?"
"After all, it's a master-servant relationship."
Hearing this, Wang Xi didn't ask any more questions.
The most difficult thing about being a spy is not how to deal with the two parties, but that if you want to gain the trust of the other party, you must give up your feelings. After giving up your feelings, you will turn your head and stab the knife, and the sword will inevitably hurt yourself.
The knife that Su Cheng stabbed Wei Lan hurt Wei Lan's vitality. After raising her for so long, she still looks sick, and looks much thinner. Wang Xi chatted with Wei Lan for a while, and then sent her out. She was standing beside him, and Wang Xi was considered tall. Looking over her head like this, there was an illusion that Wei Lan was like a woman.
The autumn wind blew, and the sky was inevitably chilly. Wei Lan shook her body slightly. Wang Xi noticed it and greeted the servants next to her. When she sent Wei Lan to the door, the servants had already come over respectfully holding the clothes up.
Wang Xi unfolded the cloak and put it on Wei Lan's body. This person doesn't look short, but his frame is indeed too slender. When he brushed his hand casually over the other's shoulder, Wang Xi felt that the shoulder was round and small. Why, I moved my mind.
He withdrew his hands without showing any signs, put them on his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Alan is not in good health now, so don't catch a cold."
"Thank you."
Wei Lan nodded, raised her hand to tie the rope, feeling a little colder.
For some reason, her abdomen began to ache. Wei Lan counted the days, probably in the last few days.
She resigned to her fate and got on the carriage, and hurried back to the mansion. As soon as she entered the Hou's mansion, the servants rushed up, and said a little nervously: "Well, my son, Mr. Xie is here."
Wei Lan nodded and didn't say much. After entering the room, she didn't see Xie Zichen. She was about to ask, when she heard Xie Zichen's gentle voice: "Alan is back?"
Wei Lan followed the sound and turned her head, and saw Xie Zichen walking in with a bowl of brown sugar water. Seeing Wei Lan, he seemed a little embarrassed, and explained: "Well, I've counted the days, I'm afraid you won't feel well, so I want to come and have a look you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the cloak on Wei Lan's body, his eyes darkened, and he said calmly, "Where did you go to Wang Xi?"
"Yes." Wei Lan untied the cloak and handed it to Ran Mo. Xie Zichen handed the syrup to Wei Lan, looked at her and said, "Are you feeling unwell today?"
"Um."
"unhappy?"
Wei Lan looked up at him, and couldn't help being a little amused: "When did you become so troublesome?"
Xie Zichen blushed at her words, he finally found a reason, so he couldn't help but want to say a few more words. But he didn't know what to say, so he could only talk about things.
Wei Lan looked at his flushed face, understood his thoughts, and sighed, "Sit down, I'll go change."
"En." Xie Zichen responded, and after Wei Lan entered the screen, Xie Zichen suddenly remembered something, coughed, and said with a blushing face: "Well, don't wear a corset if I'm at home, I'll help you You block."
Wei Lan: "..."
I don't know why, but I feel that my dignity has been humiliated.
