Chapter 62 Falling In Love With The Eunuch! (2)
Prince Chengxian had a good time, and from time to time he had to quarrel with Li Qianlan to see whose wind could fly farther, and cheerful laughter filled the womb of the prince who had not been lively for a long time.Soxhose looked at it, and remembered the scene when Empress Zheng was alive. At that time, their mother and son often did the same thing. Fog welled up in their eyes. Soxhlet didn't dare to spoil everyone's interest. He wiped his eyes and stood aside to help The prince applauded.

Prince Chengxian had Li Qianlan to play with and guide him, he felt better, his illness healed quickly, and his body was slowly recovering.

Two days later, Prince Chengxian's sick face finally turned red. That day he had a short rest after breakfast, ran into the inner hall and found two wooden swords, threw one to Li Qianlan, and said very dissatisfied: " Today we came to compete in swordsmanship, and my highness does not believe that you can beat my highness in everything."

In order to practice Prince Chengxian's aggressiveness, the games Li Qianlan played with him basically would not let him go like other court ladies and eunuchs, but they would not surpass him too much. No more, no less, just a little bit to beat him.

But in the sword competition, Li Qianlan had a sad face. Swords are sharp weapons. Avoid them. This is how her father taught her when she was a child.

Her posture of holding the wooden sword is no different from that of holding dry firewood. She is holding the wooden sword and slashing casually without sword moves or footwork. She looks no different from a crazy shrew.

But Prince Chengxian is much better than her, with a small tall head and a very agile body, and his footwork and sword moves are even more flexible, from left to right, from up to down, suddenly rushing and slowing, he still does a few The fake action really made Li Qianlan attack only for parrying, not for fighting back.

Li Qianlan retreated all the way, only lost and fled, Qiuyun, Xiaoxue, Suo Shi stood aside, all of them were laughing, Qiuyun did not forget to play tricks, and kept urging Prince Chengxian to speed up his sword skills.

For a moment, Li Qianlan felt dazzled, sword shadows were flying everywhere, she couldn't take care of it anymore, she simply squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, begging for mercy in embarrassment: "The minister lost, the prince lost, His Royal Highness, please be merciful."

Prince Chengxian came back victorious, he was so proud that he swayed his arms when he walked, and his little face was raised high, almost to the sky.

The harem is so lively, but the front court is in dire straits.

The situation in the south has changed, but it is not the kind of change that Emperor Ying thought. The turmoil in some small towns has gradually subsided under the restraint of the local yamen, but the turmoil in Guangning City, which is economically prosperous, has become more and more serious. There is no imaginable subsidence phenomenon.

He killed Li Qianlan's father and Liu Ruyun, so in Li Qianlan's current sad and indignant situation, after knowing his intentions, how could she not want to try to send information to keep the last force around her.But now there is still turmoil outside, and Li Qianlan has not moved at all. Emperor Ying has to think that Li Qianlan really doesn't know the whereabouts of the former prince's party, and it really has nothing to do with them.

Emperor Ying let Li Qianlan go, and sent troops overnight to quell Guangning City, the most turbulent city in the south.

Li Qianlan couldn't help laughing all night when she heard the news.

Two days later, even though the lights in Li Qianlan's room were left on all night, she did not expect Chen Jinghua's appearance. She was a little restless, wondering what happened to Chen Jinghua?
Is it because the imperial decree of the Xiuyiyuan was put away by the maid?Or was something delayed on the way?
Li Qianlan was not sure, took advantage of Prince Chengxian's rest time at noon, and went back to the Xiu Yiyuan alone on the pretext of picking up something, but when he entered the door, he found that the golden imperial decree was lying on the table as smoothly as when he left. Even the traces have not changed.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

While Li Qianlan was sitting at the table and resting her forehead in meditation, she suddenly heard the eunuch's shrill report from outside.

Empress Dowager Gao?How did she come here?Li Qianlan was astonished, but didn't dare to think too much, she ran to the cabinet and found some books and some old clothes, put them together with the imperial decree, packed a simple package and carried it behind her back, and immediately went out to meet Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao was wearing a red crimson dress with gold thorns and five phoenixes, embroidered with golden cloud and Luan patterns, jade leather around her waist, and a flowing cloud bun on her head, decorated with double phoenix steps, There is also a pair of conspicuous gold-plated Dongzhutian.Gold, red, and pearly white appeared together, adorning her carefully drawn face, dignified and extravagant, without losing her alluring appearance.

"I see the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old." Li Qianlan bowed her head to the empress dowager's body, and the blue cloth was wrapped on her left shoulder, which was in sharp contrast with the white summer dress.

A eunuch moved out a chair from the room and placed it in the center of the courtyard. Empress Dowager Gao sat down slowly, and the steps on her head swayed along with it, looking extremely defiant.

After the Empress Dowager Gao finished the scene, she slowly said: "Mian. Li Sizhong, you have already served in the Taiwo, why are you still here?"

Empress Dowager Gao never knew what method Li Qianlan used to pass the information to the Xueyan Gate in full view. She had previously sent Zhong Shanggong to secretly check Li Qianlan's residence, but found nothing.

This time, Empress Dowager Gao was going to cooperate with Li Qianlan again, how could she not know more about Li Qianlan, she sent Zhong Shanggong to follow Li Qianlan secretly, and report immediately if there was any news.

Just now Zhong Shanggong saw Li Qianlan rushing towards the Xiu Yi Yuan, so he reported to Empress Dowager Gao. Empress Dowager Gao couldn't sleep in bed, so she simply got up and played tricks with Li Qianlan, to see if she could find something useful from her. data of.

Li Qianlan took a deep breath to stabilize her heartbeat, and said slowly: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the emperor just asked the minister to live in the East Palace temporarily. some items."

Empress Dowager Gao didn't speak, but raised her hand, and Zhong Shangshu came over and grabbed the package from Li Qianlan's shoulder, opened it and handed it to Empress Dowager Gao.

Three sets of old summer clothes, two military books, and one imperial decree.

Empress Dowager Gao picked up the imperial decree, thinking about the Xueyan Sect, and deliberately imposed a fabricated crime: "The emperor's imperial decree, Mr. Li deliberately stayed here, but there are other purposes? Could it be that he wanted to report something to someone? ?”

In Empress Dowager Gao's heart, Chen Jinghua was dead, and Yurong's news had been fully protected. Li Qianlan's heart sank, and she was soon brought up again. I'm alone, I don't know who to report to if I have a letter, not to mention, the minister had already put the imperial decree on the table, but I forgot to take it when I went out, and the cleaning items only appeared today, so I hurried over to look for it."

"Bold and presumptuous..."

Empress Dowager Gao raised her hand to stop Zhong Shangshu from yelling, and said with a slight smile: "Then how should we explain these two military books? Now that the whole world knows that the south is making trouble, could it be that Mr. Li wants to study the military books intensively, and then stand up for his brother and give advice to the south?" One or two."

Of course Li Qianlan knew what the empress dowager Gao meant by the south, she raised her head without being surprised or angry, looked into the distance, and said calmly: "The minister is ordered to serve the prince Chengxian and take care of the prince's daily life. Talented and intelligent, he is extremely fond of the art of war, and when playing chess with his ministers, he is often willing to talk about the art of war, but the minister is not proficient in it, so he has to learn it now and sell it now."

"Oh!" Empress Dowager Gao nodded with satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "It turned out to be the case, Mr. Li should learn more. If Mrs. Chengxian is in good health, remember to ask him to come and see Aijia. I won't see you in a few days. Aijia I really miss him a little bit.”

There was no news of Chen Jinghua, as if he had disappeared, so Li Qianlan had to prepare another plan.

Although Chen Jinghua was not whereabouts, the [-] soldiers who went to Guangning town to suppress the rebellious party were besieged by the former prince's party less than ten kilometers away from Guangning city, and the entire army was wiped out overnight.

The death of the [-] army made Yingdi, who had just surpassed the Shen family and the Gao family in strength, and now he was on par with the two of them. Hearing this news, Yingdi was as angry as a mad lion, throwing himself wildly in the imperial study. The thing suddenly seemed to remember something after falling, and went straight to the uterus, and dragged Li Qianlan, who was practicing calligraphy with Prince Chengxian, to the side hall and forced him to the wall.

"You did this..." Emperor Ying's eyes were bloodshot due to anger, and he pressed Li Qianlan's neck tightly, with a grim face: "How did you contact the Xueyan Sect? How did you get the news out of the palace?"

The breath was blocked by Yingdi's big hand, Li Qianlan couldn't calm down, her legs were off the ground, and she had difficulty breathing. She struggled to pull Yingdi's hand, opened her eyes and looked at Yingdi in pain, and said with difficulty: "Mr. ...I don't know...the emperor...what are you talking about...the minister...just...just...don't know...what... the Blood Swallow Sect..."

"You don't know, then how do they know that I'm going to send troops?" Emperor Ying was anxious: "You know the list, and you are the only one who knows about it?"

"The people...are in distress...the emperor...is there...the reason to ignore..." Li Qianlan's face was burning hot, she kicked her legs and continued to struggle to escape: "The person who leads the army to fight... There are...a few... who don't understand...the art of war...the emperor...careless...what does it have to do with the minister..."

"Okay..." He dared to scold him for not knowing the art of war, and won the emperor's anger, so he threw Li Qianlan to the ground: "If you don't admit it, then I will personally lead the army and take you with me." Go out, I don't believe that you can't attract those party members."

This was far beyond the scope of Li Qianlan's calculations. She lay face down on the ground, and after she had recovered her breath, she picked out some of the most powerful relationships among them to confuse Emperor Ying: "The emperor's personal conquest, it will be difficult to return for several months, and there is no one in the previous court. It was the time when Empress Dowager Gao seized power, and the emperor didn't trust his ministers, so he could have killed them with a knife, and there is no need to gamble with the country."
