Feng Yin

Chapter 166 Bing Xing Hua Rongsuo Road Ahead

Tianlong Temple.

Lang Yuan sat upright, two rows of courtiers bowed their heads solemnly.

"Xuan Chulihou, Nanchuan Saintess and guests from overseas Lingshan, see you!"

After a pass, all the officials leaned their heads sideways and looked outside the Tianlong Hall.

Not long after, I saw Chu Lihou walking quickly, dressed in court clothes, with a solemn face.

However, to the surprise of all the courtiers, there was no Nanchuan Saintess and the very mysterious overseas guests beside him, but there were two other figures instead.

For a moment, everyone was puzzled, and they couldn't help but whispered doubts.

Lang Yuan is so high above, and at this moment, his heart is also full of surprise, waiting for Chu Lihou's respectful voice to pay homage to Long Live, but Lang Yuan acts as if he didn't hear it at all. Ouyang Yu asked coldly:
"Where are the saintess and the guests from overseas now?!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Yu was about to join hands to answer, when suddenly he heard an urgent pleading from Chu Lihou's right side:
"Your Majesty, please save my master and the island owner!"

Hearing the sound, Lang Yuan unknowingly shrunk his eyes to look, but saw a girl on the right side of Chu Lihou looking up at him worriedly.Seeing her dressed as a maidservant, Lang Yuan couldn't help frowning.

The eunuch beside him couldn't wait to shout at that girl:
"Bold! How can you get a dog slave! How dare you make a mistake in front of the Holy One!"

Xue'er heard the sound, and immediately bowed and crawled, but her mouth was still eager:

"Slave servant deserves to die! Slave servant is eager to save the savior. I was careless for a while and broke the etiquette. I ask the emperor to forgive me!"

"The savior is eager?!"

Hearing the sound, Lang Yuan felt more and more doubts in his heart, he couldn't help turning his eyes to glance at Li Luo, and immediately said quietly:
"Chu Lihou, what's going on?!"

Hearing the sound, Li Luo clapped hands, and said loudly:

"Returning to the Holy Lord, last night, the servant minister personally commanded the Imperial Forest Army, and came to the Marquis Mansion to pick him up. It's just unexpected that Prince Rui, who had already snatched the Holy Maiden at the ferry, turned back to the Marquis Manor, saying that he wanted to arrest him. Right now, because of the remnants of the Phoenix Party that is causing disaster in Nanchuan, this humble minister is incompetent and failed to stop Prince Rui, so he had no choice but to let Prince Rui rob the island owner. This woman is the Lingshan maid who came to Nanchuan with the island owner, her name is Xue'er!"

"Oh?!" Lang Yuan couldn't help feeling sullen when he heard the sound, the next moment his eyes turned and stopped on Ouyang Yu:

"There is such a thing?! Chu Lihou's Marquis Mansion harbors the remnants of the Feng Party?!"

Ouyang Yu hastily bowed his head and replied: "Back to the emperor, I didn't see the remnants of the Phoenix Party with my own eyes in the Hou's mansion, but found something abnormal in the dry well of the Hou's mansion. Originally, the Marquis and the prince wanted to go down the well to find out. But considering those remnants, they are extremely vicious, and for the safety of the two respected relatives, they had to make a compromise and seal the well to fill the gully, so I dare not speak nonsense! As for the overseas guests, they were indeed taken out of the palace by Prince Rui!"

Lang Yuan heard it clearly, and then turned his gaze to Li Luo again for a moment, only to see Li Luo bowing her head and kneeling calmly, but she couldn't speak a word for a while.

"Chu Lihou, why are you silent?! Aiqing still has something to say about the remnants of the Phoenix Party?!"

Li Luo smiled slightly, raised her head slowly, cupped her hands and said:

"The Holy Majesty is a wise ruler of a generation, and he will judge impartially. I believe that the Holy Majesty will uphold justice for Li Luo!"

Hearing the sound, Lang Yuan immediately let out a hearty laugh, and after a while, he slowly raised his hand and motioned to Li Luo:
"The incident of the remnants of the Feng Party caused panic among the people of Tianhua City today. I think the emperor's uncle came here for my country, and this is why all the grass and trees are soldiers! I think that since Chu Lihou joined Sichuan, he has made great achievements for me in Nanchuan. Not only did she welcome my Nanchuan Saintess back to Nanchuan unscathed, but she also brought my friends and guests from overseas spiritual mountains to Nanchuan! How could such a devoted and loyal minister harbor rebellious people in his mansion? people?
What's wrong with the dry well in the Hou's mansion, now that Chu Lihou has closed the well to fill the gully without hesitation, if I doubt Aiqing again, won't I really become a stupid king who makes the world laugh at me!Aiqing, get down quickly! "

"Your Majesty's words are serious! Li Luo thanked the Emperor for his kindness!" Li Luo said with a smile, and stood up immediately.

Lang Yuan paused after saying a word, then let out a long sigh:
"It's just that this Uncle Prince Rui, oh, it's really a headache to think about it! He has been obsessed with the Holy Maiden for a long time, and everyone knows about it! Now that the Holy Maiden survived a catastrophe and returned to Nanchuan, Uncle Wang must be unable to help himself. It's just a matter of people! It's just that if Uncle Wang just robbed the saint, I can understand it. However, this island owner and Uncle Wang are just meeting for the first time, but I don't know why Uncle Wang is embarrassing the island owner in such a way? Could it be that the island owner The Lord and Uncle Wang have known each other for a long time, and there was an unknown grievance earlier?!"

"No, that's not the case, Your Majesty!"

Xue'er heard the sound, and said anxiously again: "Prince Rui avenges his personal revenge, and asks His Majesty to be the master of my family!"

"Your master?!"

Lang Yuan calmly bit the four words that Xue'er mentioned: "But I don't know, the master you are talking about is the island master, or my Nanchuan saint lady?!"

"Of course it is..." Xue'er was about to blurt out "Mrs. Qingrui", but in an instant, she recalled the solemn and solemn instructions given by Miracle Doctor Yungu on the day she set sail to sea, so she changed her words and evasively road:
"It's the owner of the island, my master is naturally the owner of the island!"

"Oh? Since your master is the owner of the island, you keep saying that Prince Rui avenged his personal revenge, but I don't know where this personal hatred came from?!"

When Xue'er heard this, she panicked immediately, she was at a loss for a while, and said intermittently:

"Slave...Slave is just guessing for a while...husband...the saintly lady is beautiful...any man in the world will see it...maybe...maybe he will feel a little bit of love...slave heard that Prince Rui covets the beauty of the saintly lady It's been a long time... and... and the island owner has had... contact with the Holy Maiden, so... just to make a bold guess, Lord Rui... Prince Rui must not be able to win the heart of the Holy Maiden, so he Take your anger out on my master... to vent your personal anger... In short, I beseech you to make the decision for my master, and quickly rescue the holy lady and the island owner!"

"So, the saint lady and the island owner are old acquaintances?!"

The vigilance and suspicion in Lang Yuan's eyes became more and more certain along with the panic on Xue'er's face.

"Slaves... Slaves don't know..."

Lang Yuan sneered, stood up quietly, and walked towards Xue'er slowly:

"You maidservant, since you keep saying you are worried about your master's safety, and you are so loyal, you should desperately beg Uncle Prince Rui last night, so that you can be taken away with you!"

Xue'er raised her head suddenly when she heard the sound, and said directly:

"If it wasn't for the treasure box, even if Xue'er died, she would never leave the master's side!"

"Treasure box!?"

Lang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, and turned his eyes towards Li Luo with a sharp look.

Li Luo raised her hand calmly:
"Don't dare to expire the Holy Majesty, this treasure box is the great gift of the Holy Majesty that I wrote in the Flying Pigeon Letter! However, I don't know what is in this box, I only know that the Holy Maiden Qian reminded me, Wan asked, saying that it must be presented to the Holy One in person!"

"Oh? Since you are a holy lady, if you want to present a gift to me, why don't you present it quickly!"

In Lang Yuan's eyes, there was a bit of greedy excitement for a moment, but unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Xue'er stood up abruptly, and refused righteously:
"No! I haven't seen my master, this box, Xue'er can't give it to anyone!"

"presumptuous!"

Lang Yuan shook his sleeve angrily: "What does the gift that the Holy Maiden gave me have anything to do with your master? Could it be that your real master is not an island owner, but the Holy Maiden?!"

There was a burst of panic in Xue'er's eyes, but in an instant, she felt confident and said without fear:
"Now the lives of the holy lady and the island owner are closely related. Rescuing the holy lady will save my island owner! Since the holy lady trusts the servant and gives the box to the servant for safekeeping, the servant must not be ungrateful! As long as the emperor can rescue For the two of them, Xueer must hand over the box! If not, Xueer can only live and die with that box!"

Hearing Xue'er's righteous words, Li Luo couldn't help but look slightly sideways and examine her seriously.

"Bold servant girl! How dare you speak against the emperor! You really ate it..."

The eunuch beside Lang Yuan saw the wind turning the rudder, and was pointing at the orchid, scolding Xue'er who was standing still, but Lang Yuan cut off in a cold voice:

"What a loyal little servant girl!"

After saying that, he went down the stairs and walked slowly in front of Xue'er, and after Ning Ning sized her up, he said quietly:
"I can't get anything I want! Even if your box is hidden in the ends of the earth, I can still find it!"

"You..." Xue'er heard the sound, and felt fear in her heart. She didn't know how to respond to Lang Yuan's words, but when she saw Lang Yuan in front of her raised her eyebrows, she changed the subject:

"But I don't want people in the world to laugh at me, saying that Emperor Zhenyuan, for the sake of a treasure box, did everything he could to take the life of a little servant! So..."

A sinister smile appeared on Lang Yuan's cold face:
"I promise you, save the saint and the island owner!"

Xue'er seemed unable to believe her ears, she was startled for a moment, and a moment later, tears welled up in her eyes, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, and thanked her excitedly:

"On behalf of my master, I would like to thank the emperor for his great kindness! Your majesty can rest assured that as long as my master is safe and sound, Xue'er will definitely present the box intact to the majesty!"

Lang Yuan meaningfully glanced at Xue'er who was kneeling and leaning over, then turned around and said to Ouyang Yu:

"Servant Ouyang, pass on my order, quickly bring someone to Chuoyun Palace to pick up the Holy Maiden! If Uncle Prince Rui is stubborn again, he will be tied up and come to see me!"

After saying that, she turned around again, "Miss Xue'er, are you satisfied with this?!"

Xue'er was at a loss as to how to reply, when suddenly she could only hear Ouyang Yu beside her, hesitatingly saying:

"The humble minister is guilty! I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the entrustment of the Holy One!"

Hearing the sound, Lang Yuan frowned, and asked in a cold voice:
"Oh? Could it be that Uncle Prince Rui can still eat you?!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Yu lowered his head again:
"Don't dare to expire the Holy Majesty. Last night, the humble minister led the troops to pick him up. He met the noble concubine on the way. The noble concubine said that she and the saint were like sisters, so she insisted on asking the humble minister to send some soldiers to follow her to Chuo. The Yun Palace also protects the safety of the Holy Maiden! The minister did not dare to disobey the imperial concubine Huang Guifei's will, and also thought that although Uncle Prince Rui had always been unruly, he would not embarrass women, so he took the initiative to separate out a part of the Royal Forest Army and went to Chuo Yun Palace! It’s just that I didn’t realize it. Not only did Concubine Huang Gui not get half a step into the Chuoyun Palace, even the Imperial Forest Army who escorted them there was disabled overnight by King Ling Rui’s Mei Wuyan. countless!"

"How can this be reasonable?!" Lang Yuan was furious when he heard this.

Ouyang Yu became more and more ashamed of himself: "This humble minister is not good at handling things, and I know that my crimes are serious, so I have the courage to go to court with Lord Hou today, and ask the emperor to forgive me!"

Lang Yuan frowned for a moment, then asked angrily:

"Mei Wuyan, but that ugly woman who is cheeky, messing around and asking the empress dowager to give her a marriage?!"

"Don't dare to expire, Your Majesty, that's right!"

"Hmph!" Lang Yuan turned around angrily, striding towards the seat, and shouted angrily as he spoke:
"Uncle Prince Rui is getting more and more unruly! I don't care if I don't know how to behave, but now I don't know where to get such a cruel and ruthless executioner and keep him by my side. It seems that I really don't take the laws of Zhen and Nanchuan seriously. ! Such arrogance is tolerable, what is unbearable!"

When the two rows of courtiers saw this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to persuade:

"Emperor calm down!"

"Come here! Pass on my order, and I will drive the Chuoyun Palace myself!"

Lang Yuan was furious, "I would like to see how my Uncle Prince Rui is lawless under my nose!"

The eunuch heard the sound and was about to communicate loudly, when suddenly he heard an urgent communication from outside the door:

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

Hearing the sound, Lang Yuan frowned, pondered for a while, then got up quickly, and walked towards the outside of the hall to pick him up.

"Which short-sighted servant alarmed the empress dowager?!"

Lang Yuan supported Empress Dowager Jing, walked slowly into the hall, and scolded angrily with frowning eyes, when all the servants and servants saw this, they all bowed their heads in shock and did not dare to make a sound.

Empress Dowager Jing smiled slightly, and patted Lang Yuan's hand lightly:
"The emperor must not be angry! It's none of these servants' business!"

Lang Yuan bowed his head and bowed his head: "The child is unfilial, disturbing the empress Qingxiu!"

Empress Dowager Jing smiled lightly, took a meaningful look at Lang Yuan, and immediately turned her head to look down at the officials, and said leisurely for a moment:

"The Ai family has already heard about King Ling Rui! I just don't know if the version the Ai family heard is exactly the same as the version the emperor heard in the court?!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar in the court hall.

Lang Yuan was puzzled, he frowned and said in a low voice: "Mother?!"

Empress Dowager Jing said slowly and unhurriedly:

"It is true that King Ling Rui hijacked the Saintess, but this hijacking is not because of the rumors from the outside world that it is something that cannot be restrained, but..."

Everyone held their breath and raised their eyes, only to see Empress Dowager Jing smiled coldly, and said loudly again:
"It was King Ling Rui who got the news that the holy lady who has been regarded as a blessing by the people of Nanchuan for a long time is none other than the orphan of Feng Lin, the traitor who conspired against the court and intended to overthrow our Nanchuan Dynasty. Feng Yu !"

As soon as the words fell, the two rows of courtiers were shocked.

"So, according to the version heard by the Ai family, the reason why Prince Rui kidnapped the saint was to eradicate the remnants of the Phoenix Party in one fell swoop for his sage nephew. However, because he has always acted pervertedly, this is why he left the topic. , is contemptible!"

Having said this, even Lang Yuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Empress Dowager Jing saw everyone's surprised and suspicious faces, she just smiled, and the next moment she took her time and sat on the chair beside Lang Yuan:
"One dispute, two rumors, they are quite different! But in your opinion, which one is true and which one is false?!"

Hearing the sound, everyone felt uneasy, they just exchanged silently with each other, but no one dared to speak a word.

"Emperor, as the king of a country, you must distinguish between right and wrong. You must never let any treacherous person go, but you must never hurt any loyal minister!"

Lang Yuan lowered his eyebrows, "What the mother taught me is right!"

Li Luo thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and asked calmly:
"Forgive me for your boldness, but I don't know where the Queen Mother learned about her remarks?!"

When Empress Dowager Jing heard the words, her phoenix eyes turned slightly, and she swept towards Li Luo without anger and authority:
"Good question by Chu Lihou! The Ai family may wish to tell you all that the rumors that the Ai family heard were none other than the extremely honorable Princess Dongchu who married into my Nanchuan harem. The concubine Huang Huang, who is below the people, said it with her own mouth!"

"impossible!"

As soon as the words fell, Xue'er jumped up and said excitedly:

"Impossible, the Holy Maiden cannot be an orphan of the Feng Clan!"

Empress Dowager Jing raised her eyes in a blink of an eye, locked her eyes on Xue'er, waited for a moment, then frowned and asked
"You are the maid from Eryun Island who came with you? Seeing how you are so swearing, is it possible that you and the saint have known each other for a long time? Or do you know some secrets that the saint does not know? Are you and the saint? what relationship!"

When Xueer heard the sound, she panicked immediately, knelt down on her knees, and hurriedly explained:
"My servant doesn't know if the Holy Maiden has any secrets, but I firmly believe that as long as the island owner values ​​someone, he won't be a bad person!"

Upon hearing the sound, Empress Dowager Jing gave another unfathomable smile, then turned her head and said to Lang Yuan:
"Which is right and which is wrong, we must go through some consideration before we can get to the bottom of it! Emperor, as the king of a country, you should know what to do?!"

Lang Yuan bowed his head in thought, and after a while, he said in an authoritative voice:
"According to my will, soldiers surround Chuoyun Palace and closely monitor every move in Chuoyun Palace! Within three days, no one is allowed to enter and leave Chuoyun Palace without my order! Three days later, King Xuan Lingrui and Nanchuan Sheng The female court meets the saint! Whether it is loyalty or treachery, after three days, I will give an explanation to the world!"

"emperor……"

Xue'er was about to say something when she suddenly heard the Empress Dowager Jing's leisurely sentence, giving an order that could not be resisted:

"You maidservant, you can be regarded as a loyal servant, how about taking your box and staying with Ai's family in Zen Palace?!"

"Slaves don't want to!"

Xue'er's face was full of reluctance, and Queen Mother Jing was indeed not angry when she heard the sound, she just stepped down and quietly walked in front of Xue'er, stretched out her hand seemingly kindly, and gently touched Xue'er's cheek, and then Meaningful words:
"Xue'er? This name sounds very familiar to Ai Jia!"

When Xue'er heard the sound, her expression changed instantly.

Empress Dowager Jing blinked and smiled, but the next moment she held Xue'er's hand, bowed to her ear, and whispered:

"Silly boy, if you want to keep your box, there is no other place that is safer than Aijia's Zen Palace!"
