Following Chu Lan's recollection: "The first time we met must have been on the wasteland outside Xingshan County, where you were experimenting with improving saline-alkali land to grow rice. Was that that time? I can't remember clearly. I don't even remember that. Its about your appearance at that time, because you were really too timid and timid at that time.
Wei Ruos face was expressionless.
Chu Lan continued: "Later I found out that it was you who was pretending. You seemed to be avoiding me from the beginning, and you hated me for no reason."
"So? What do these things have to do with each other?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yes, it may not mean anything to you. But I can't forget it easily. What I don't understand is that you saved me as Xu Heyou, and you treated me well at first, until you knew my identity. , you began to alienate me and avoid me like a wild beast. It seems that the person you hate is not me, but my identity." Chu Lan said.
"So what? Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I just don't like the Seventh Prince. I simply don't want to have a close relationship with you, and I have never harmed you. I am even kind to you."
At this point, Wei Ruo no longer hides his identity as Xu Heyou.
You are right, I am obsessed with this. Chu Lan admitted.
"Your Highness shouldn't have bothered to call me here just to talk to me about these old issues." Wei Ruodao.
"I have prepared a house for you outside Beijing." Chu Lan said.
Wei Ruo laughed: "You don't want to keep them in captivity, do you? Like raising them in an outdoor room?"
Wei Ruos smile was both bright and dazzling.
"If you are willing, after the storm passes, I will connect you to the palace and give you a new identity and a new beginning." Chu Lan said.
"Chu Lan, Chu Lan, you are really perverted. You killed your king and your father, and you also want to seize your brother's wife." Wei Ruo said sarcastically.
"Being a son and a brother, I am indeed unkind and unjust, but so what? There was no emperor like this in the previous dynasty, and he could still be called a wise king. The people and historians will only remember the achievements of the country and will not care about these small things." Chu Landao .
"I don't deny what you said. You may have the ability to be the second Emperor Taizong, but I don't want to be Dai Ji or Yang. What I want is to live by myself and stay with the one I love. If not, Then the fish will die and the net will break!" Wei Ruo said sternly.
"It might be possible for you to resist the decree and stay in Jiliao without returning, but you chose to come back to take care of the mourning. Now that you have entered the capital, there is no way out. So what if you have cured your sick prince? It was too late, he had no chance to turn things around."
"Then I will die with him, and I will never be imprisoned by you." Wei Ruo's eyes were determined, showing no trace of timidity.
"What if I threaten his life and that of your son? If you listen to me, I can spare the lives of father and son. Otherwise, I will let them die miserably in front of you." Chu Lan said.
"No, I would rather our family die together than live in such a painful way. Do you think I will live for them and then turn myself into your captive? I was wrong, I won't, I believe in my husband You dont want me to choose that way, Wei Ruo said firmly.
Then Wei Ruo told Chu Lan: "Before returning to Beijing, I prepared poison for our family of three. Just in case, I won't leave us in a half-dead situation for you. You know how good my medical skills are. Naturally, there is no solution to the poison, and I think you cant stop it.
Wei Ruo raised his head with a calm expression, and even looked at Chu Lan with contempt in his eyes.
A person who is not afraid of his own death or the death of his closest relatives has nothing to fear.
Wei Qingruo, you are really cruel. You are cruel to yourself and even more cruel to me.
Chu Lan said bitterly. He stepped forward suddenly, approached Wei Ruo, stretched out his hand, and was about to pinch Wei Ruo's chin when suddenly a voice came from outside the door:
Your Majesty, Old General Lu led his ministers into the palace, knelt down in front of the Qianqing Palace, and said that he had something important to see the Emperor.
Old General Lu has not cared about the affairs of the court for a long time. What he did today was not what he intended.
Chu Lan frowned, and then looked at Wei Ruo, whose eyes were still unruly.
He took his hand back and said immediately: "I hope you can think it over carefully before we meet next time." After saying this, Chu Lan left, leaving Wei Ruo in the side hall.
After a while, there was some movement outside the door, and with the sound of people falling to the ground, the palace door was opened again.
Miss (Mrs.), are you okay?
Xiumei and Lin Fang asked in unison.
Just now when Wei Ruo entered the side hall, the two of them were indeed captured by the masters arranged by Chu Lan.
But after Chu Lan left, the two of them were rescued by the secret guards in the palace.
These secret guards are not Wei Jinyi's people. Outsiders cannot arrange secret guards in the palace under the emperor's nose. The real master of these people is Emperor Daxing.
"I'm fine." Wei Ruodao, "Let's go, hurry up, I have to confirm something, I hope I can make it in time."
###
Qianqing Hall.
Emperor Daxings Zi Palace is parked here. The inside and outside of the palace are plain, and incense candles are burning in front of the hall.
In front of the palace, the ministers headed by General Lu have been waiting for a long time. Wei Yichen, the cabinet scholar, and Fan Shuyi, the minister of household affairs, are among them.
King Yu and King Qin were also in the procession.
King Yu has no choice now. Instead of waiting for Chu Lan to take action against him, it is better to see if there is still room for maneuver.
When Chu Lan came, although everyone saluted him, they did not call him the emperor.
Ever since Chu Lanlingqian succeeded to the throne, the officials had already addressed him as emperor. However, at this moment, these people unanimously changed their titles.
What does General Lu mean? Chu Lan asked.
After Chu Lan asked, he saw Wei Jin also walking out of the crowd and standing in front of the ministers.
His posture is tall and straight, his steps are steady, and he is no longer as frail as before.
Sure enough, the rumors were true, Prince Rui had really been cured by Princess Rui.
Her medical skills have always been excellent, he should have thought of this when he guessed that she was Xu Heyou.
Chu Lan smiled: "What are you doing, Ninth Brother? You have just come back and you are uniting with the ministers to make this happen? It seems that you have some objections to me, the imperial brother?"
Mr. Lu was the first to speak: "His Royal Highness King Jing, because Emperor Daxing died suddenly and no one found the posthumous edict, and because the country cannot live without a king for a day, I recommended you to succeed him. But now things have changed, Emperor Daxing There is a legacy left in this world.
Hearing this, Chu Lan's eyes darkened, then he looked at Wei Jinyi and said calmly: "Do you have the edict from Emperor Daxing in your hand?"
Wei Jin also slowly raised his hand, and he was holding a roll of edict in his hand.
Chu Lan said with a look of disdain: "Does this mean that the ninth brother brought back the imperial edict from his father? As far as I know, King Rui left the capital for three years and did not return to the capital in the middle. How did he get the edict in his hand?"
