Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 319 The Prince's Life-Saving Talisman
Inside and outside the palace, everyone had anxiety and worry on their faces. They were afraid that no one would know that Sui Wang Li Huan had brought his elite troops into the city... The waiting time was always long.

Ruan Linluo summoned her father and mother, wanting them to help her plan and see what to do in the future?
Ruan Xiping said extremely firmly: "Madam, don't be impatient for a while, you must first keep the phoenix body healthy, and then you can make a long-term plan. The country should not be messed with, no matter how ambitious the king is, he would not bear the notoriety of rebellious officials and thieves The Holy One is his elder brother, his brother, if he really dares to take advantage of the situation, then from now on, he will bear the infamy of the whole life!"

His opinion was the same as that of all the officials in the court, and they all believed that as long as the war in the north was eased, Li Huan would be an unknown teacher, and he could not usurp the emperor's brother's country and society in the name of saving the world.

However, Ruan Linluo was not exactly the opposite of what they thought.A gentleman and a villain are only in a moment of thought, and whether to advance or retreat is a split-second decision.

Li Huan has been recharging his energy for two years. With the title of "following the king" on his head, he was suppressed by the Holy Master everywhere, but he did not resist. The resentment in his heart may not be shallow.

The huge country is in front of you, let alone a gentleman, even a sage can't help but be tempted.

Ruan Linluo murmured slightly: "Did Mom and Dad plan what I said to you before?"

Zhu Yuanlan was slightly taken aback when she heard the words: "Ma'am, you don't really want us to move back to Dezhou, do you?"

Ruan Linluo lowered her eyes: "For safety's sake, you'd better go back quickly."

"No, how can the concubine leave the empress alone in this palace to live in distress..."

Ruan Linluo raised her hand, signaling her not to continue, "I am the mother of a country, the queen. In this life, I can't go anywhere except this inner courtyard of the palace. The palace is heavily guarded. , I have nothing to fear, but my parents are old people, and my brother is so young, I don't want you to stay and take risks... Besides, after you left, I lost a layer of worry in my heart .”

Her energy is limited, and now, just taking care of the prince has exhausted her.

Ruan Xiping naturally refused, he was a military commander, although he was not sent to Youzhou to fight this time because of his status as the head of the country, but he still carried a military order with him, and at critical times, he had to dispatch the imperial guards to protect the emperor. City, to protect the safety of the empress dowager, queen and prince.

"If you don't leave, I want to live and die with your empress, and share hardships."

Ruan Linluo's eyes were slightly red, and she only said to her mother: "In this case, please ask mother to take brother back first. Don't say no, you should think it is for the sake of the palace and the prince."

Zhu Yuanlan lowered her head and wiped her tears, choked up for a long time before answering yes.

Ruan Xiping vowed to protect his daughter and the prince, and no one could shake his determination.

Ruan Linluo also made the decision without authorization and gave her father great rights, allowing him to come and go freely in the palace without supervision.

In the important place of the imperial city, no one can enter the city without the emperor's order.

It's just that right now, the Holy Majesty's imperial conscript is on his way, and the Empress Dowager is seriously ill.Ruan Linluo was the only one who presided over the huge palace city, so her words were like an imperial decree, and everyone could only listen to it, and there was no room for refutation.

After the Empress Dowager learned of Li Huan's intention to rebel, she became seriously ill.

The imperial physicians said that it was urgent and needed rest.But right now, the atmosphere in the palace, let alone recuperating, is simply dead silent.

Ruan Linluo often came to visit the Empress Dowager, seeing her sickly, only felt heartache.

At this time, she needs the support of the Empress Dowager the most.

Nurse Cui, who was beside the empress dowager, personally helped Ruan Linluo into the inner room and sat on the bedside of the empress dowager.

"Empress Dowager, how are you?" Ruan Linluo asked softly.

The Queen Mother opened her heavy eyelids, glanced at her, and asked an unexpected question: "The Holy Majesty is really gone. What can you do..."

Ruan Linluo's eyes flashed when she heard the words, she looked up at Nanny Cui and asked, "How is the Queen Mother?"

Nanny Cui shook her head again, and sighed again: "Returning to your mother, the queen mother has not been in good health, and she always suffers from some old problems of headache and brain fever in winter. In the past few days, because of the Holy Majesty's matter of following the king, The Empress Dowager has been unable to eat or sleep well, so her recovery is naturally even worse."

As soon as her words fell, the queen mother murmured again: "The prince... the prince is still so young, what should I do?"

Ruan Linluo's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and said softly: "The Empress Dowager can recover from her illness at ease, and the Holy Majesty will definitely return in triumph."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter whether the Holy Majesty wins or loses. Once he leaves... this walk is already admitting defeat..."

Ruan Linluo's expression became heavy in an instant, and the queen mother seemed to sigh, and continued: "It's all predestined...it can't be avoided...do you know how the Holy Majesty tried to seize the throne back then? The same is true Messy... Cough cough cough... If the Holy One can calculate, of course Sui Wang can also calculate... What kind of close relatives are all jokes! It's just a joke..."

The only person in this palace who can tell the truth to her is the Empress Dowager.

Ruan Linluo murmured, "What should the concubine do?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother slowly stretched out her hand from under the quilt, took her hand weakly, frowned and said: "Keep the prince, no matter what, keep the prince..."

She kept repeating in her mouth to protect the prince, protect the prince, as if this sentence was like a spell, as long as you repeat it more, it will come true.

Ruan Linluo smiled bitterly and said, "It's only natural, the concubine will keep the prince no matter what, even if it means death..."

As soon as her words fell, the Empress Dowager suddenly grabbed her hand tightly and said: "I can't die... Only you can live, the prince can live... You are his life-saving talisman!"

From the empress dowager's meaningful eyes and intermittent tone, Ruan Linluo seemed to understand something and understood something.

No matter how dull or careless a person is, as long as they enter this deep palace city, they will become careful and sharp.

The Empress Dowager had assisted three monarchs and had lived in this palace for decades. Therefore, anything that happened under this red wall and green tiles could not escape her vicissitudes of life eyes.

There are some things that don't need to be stated one by one, they are well known to each other.

In her opinion, the Holy Majesty's departure from Beijing at this time was nothing more than an embarrassing escape.Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

Life is like a dream, and life is like a drama. Looking back on the various situations at the beginning, I only feel that everything is just a mirror image, what I look for, what I want, and what I want are all illusions and virtual images after all.

Waking up from one dream, and then silently waiting for the start of another dream, it goes round and round, endlessly... The Queen Mother is depressed in her heart, her old illness has not gone away, and her heart disease recurs. It completely collapsed, leaving only a wisp of gossamer-like breath, barely supporting it.

I have been ill for too long, and my mind has become unclear. There are always countless hallucinations in front of my eyes. My body, which is already exhausted, has to experience all kinds of suffering in the hallucinations... In the last second, She was still sitting next to the late Emperor and talking with him, but the next second she was terrified by Li Zheng's sinister smile, and finally, she saw Li Huan's face as gentle as jade, he was born a warm child, Gentle, calm, and calm as water... Her consciousness was weak and fragile, and she couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was real or fake, until Li Huan stretched out his hand, gently placed it on the back of her hand, and called: "Grandmother, Huan'er!" came back."

Her lips trembled, and she said in an inaudible voice: "Let the prince go... let the queen go..."

Hearing this, Li Huan still had a spring-like smile on his face, but he didn't answer.

After the queen mother saw his face clearly, her consciousness gradually became blurred.

She fell into a coma again, and this time she fell into a coma for seven days. Even the imperial doctor almost said that there was no way to recover, but no one dared to say... During these seven days, too many things happened in the palace things.

The most important thing is not that the Empress Dowager is critically ill, but that Li Huan returns to Beijing.

Unlike the bloody storm that was expected before, the chariots and horses of the brigade under Li Huan's command and the neat army drove into the capital almost without hindrance in the early morning.

Ruan Xiping was betrayed by his generals, and was imprisoned in Jingguo Mansion, unable to move a single step, unable to do anything.

The sound of horseshoes disturbed the dreams of the people in the city, and also shattered the last bit of hope in Ruan Linluo's heart.

She didn't know what was waiting for her.

Everyone knew what Li Huan had in mind when he marched into the capital with such vigor and vigor.

It was the intention of the ministers that the Holy Majesty left the capital, but it was actually just a conspiracy.

The people who originally supported the Holy Majesty had already turned their momentum according to the situation, and all of a sudden they all turned into cronies who accompanied him, and they were busy defecting and criticizing the Holy Majesty's tyranny and corruption. Moreover, everyone was playing for the name of the country and the community , willing to help the king to be in charge of the government, devoted himself to the heart and mind.

The speed of face-changing is staggering and chilling.

The heavy palace doors opened one by one, ready to welcome its new owner.

The Shuiyue Palace was empty, only Ruan Linluo and the prince were sitting in the main hall, and there were three or five loyal maids and eunuchs standing outside the door.

Although loyal, but also timid.

The moment he saw Li Huan, his legs were still so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, not knowing what to do.

Li Huan's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally landed on Pingting's figure in the hall.

It was the first time for him to step into the Water Moon Palace. The beauty and delicacy here are enough to make people admire and admire.

I heard earlier that Li Zheng spent a lot of money to build the Shuiyue Palace for the sake of Bomei's smile.

As the saying goes, the golden house hides the charm.

Li Huan raised his eyes and looked at this gorgeous place like a fairy pavilion, his eyebrows moved slightly, and then he showed a hearty smile.

With such a beauty, it is no wonder that Li Zhenghui is so obsessed.

Ruan Linluo had received the news a long time ago, she knew that she and the prince had nowhere to escape.

So, she simply held her breath and waited motionless in Shuiyue Palace, waiting for Li Huan.

She purposely chose a white dress that looked like a filial piety, her hair was devoid of pearls and emeralds, her face was clean, no makeup was applied, and she sat there alone, looking lonely and graceful.

Although she didn't look up, she had already felt Li Huan's fiery gaze in advance.

Ruan Linluo looked down at the prince in the swaddling baby, seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she couldn't help pursing the corners of her mouth slightly.

If it is really impossible to escape, then let the child die in a dream like this, and don't let him suffer any more.

In despair, she still didn't have the courage to take his life with her own hands.However, she had already prepared Bai Ling for herself.If the prince can't live, then she doesn't have the courage to continue living.
