The Story of Lang Yuan①

Chapter 21

Mi Zixia's predictions were really good. When he made the request to take Li Shang out of the palace in the early court, Bai Chen's face was so dark that water dripped down, and the ministers present couldn't help but secretly pinch Mi in their hearts. Sweating, but just when even Mi Zixia thought that his little life would be explained today, there was a chuckle from above, "Oh, it's just a bed warming boy, Mi Aiqing If you like it, I will give it to you, and you can take that male favorite out of the palace today, and there is no need to send it back." After finishing speaking, Bai Chen walked away with a flick of his sleeves.Mi Zixia secretly rejoiced that she had saved her life, but she didn't expect to receive an imperial decree when she returned to the mansion, Mi Zixia was relegated to Shu Prefecture.Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty wrote, "The difficulty of the road to Shu is that it is difficult to go to the blue sky." Shuzhou is fertile and wild, and the climate is hot and humid, which is very beneficial to farming, so famines do not happen often. You can also get a glimpse of this verse.

"Swallow, you are worthy of my trust, right?"

"The grace of saving your life is unforgettable. Yanzi will never betray you, so please rest assured."

Master Mi was not without resentment when he arrived in Shuzhou. He thought that after General He Lan's rebellion, he could be reused and show his ambitions, but he was relegated to such a traffic-blocked place. "Alas~" Mi Zixia propped his head in one hand, held the scroll in the other, and let out No. 30 eight sighs, but in exchange for a chuckle from Li Shang, "Master Mi, I really don't understand why one road doesn't work, you Do you feel that there is no way to go? Why do you feel hopeless in this life after one setback?"

"The words are beautiful," Mi Zixia disdainfully said, "Although Shu Prefecture has abundant harvests year after year, the roads are blocked and it is difficult to communicate with other prefectures and counties. No matter how full the people of Shu Prefecture are, they are just not hungry. They Every family’s rice is rotten, but everyone is so poor, and they don’t have the conditions to study, and the children can only follow the life of their parents and plant for a lifetime.”

"Yo, not bad, you can still see the problem." Li Shang got up and moved closer to Mi Zixia, "Since we know what the problem is, why don't we try to solve it, instead of complaining here? "

in the palace.Yuan Yingshan was trimming the branches and leaves of the flowers in the house with scissors, her lips were slightly raised, she was very happy.It's no wonder that Li Shang, a serious confidant, finally left the palace. From now on, Bai Chen will spoil her alone, and she no longer has to endure the embarrassment of Bai Chen's presence and absence, so how can she be unhappy. "Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician seeks to see you." "Biography."

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Unlike Yuan Yingshan, Doctor Wang looked flustered. The old man ran up to Yuan Yingshan in sweat, knelt down with a plop, and yelled that it was bad even before he could catch his breath. "Your Majesty, the prime minister's plan may be exposed."

Yuan Yingshan's expression changed when she heard the words, "How do you say that?"

"Your Majesty used Beiyi's strange medicine on her body to frame Li Shang, but that male pet is well versed in the properties of medicine and has long known what kind of tricks you are playing. This is one of them; You also tried that miracle medicine, intending to murder the emperor, but in the end you killed Concubine Shu, the second one; plus your father works in the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of Xiaxi's foreign affairs, so it's hard not to arouse suspicion. That day when Weichen collected Concubine Shu's body, Li Shang gave Weichen a meaningful look, and he must have seen the clues at that time, this time he left the palace, Baobuqi was going to investigate this matter."

Yuan Yingshan was frightened into a cold sweat when she heard this. It was easier to control Li Shang when he was in the palace. After all, the whole palace was his eyes and ears. Now that he is out of the palace, he is like a bird out of the cage, trying to catch him. It's really difficult, not to mention there is a Xiao family protecting him.Yuan Yingshan got up and paced back and forth, frowning tightly. Suddenly, the woman clapped her fists and said to Wang Taiyi, "For the present plan, only you and I will be able to make peace. You tell the emperor that I am pregnant. To get the emperor's attention, so that he has no time to care about others, so as to buy time for my father to destroy the evidence and arrest Li Shang."

"Your Majesty, this strategy will not work." Imperial Physician Wang disapproved, "You have also seen that the Emperor is not concerned about the affairs of the harem. In the past, so many concubines were pregnant, didn't they get more attention from the Emperor? Mr. Yuan has already discussed the countermeasures with the lower officials. This package of medicine can make people into puppets and be at the mercy of others. You put it in the emperor's diet..."

"Don't even think about it!" Yuan Yingshan angrily interrupted Imperial Physician Wang, "I agreed to my father's big plan at the beginning because I wanted to win the emperor alone. Although I hate him for having three thousand beauties in the harem, I really love him , don't you want me to harm the emperor!"

But Mr. Yuan doesn't care what you think of this girl, Doctor Wang thought to himself.After persuading her for a long time, Yuan Yingshan refused to cooperate, but Imperial Physician Wang had no choice but to give up.

Although Yan Zi is Li Shang's maid on the surface, but this person possesses unique skills, is very light-handed, and is well versed in the art of hiding, so she is very suitable for spying. Therefore, before leaving the palace, Li Shang confessed that she must find out that Prime Minister Yuan was in collusion with Bei Yi evidence of.Yanzi knew that the members of the Yuan family were not fools, they probably had already guessed Li Shang's intention to leave the palace this time, so they would definitely strengthen the guards on the secret places in the mansion, thinking this way, Yanzi flew to the most guarded place in the backyard go.In the dark night, a kite-like figure flew past the guard's eyes. Dark night is the best cover in black clothes. Yanzi is also very confident in her lightness. She believes that she has never made a sound, but she still underestimated The Yuan family's caution was overwhelmed.She carefully lifted the tiles, intending to invade from the roof, but the moment she picked up the tiles, the bell rang loudly. It turned out that the Yuan family had hung a safety net under each tile to prevent people from entering from the roof. A string of bells.In the silent night, the sound of the bell was amplified a hundred times, attracting all the attention of the guards.Swallow saw that she was exposed, so she just flew down, went straight to the main entrance of the study, and planned to break in, but those guards could not let her succeed, they all tried their best to stop her. In the imperial palace, although Yanzi's martial arts are high, he is no match for four hands in the end.I didn't want to hurt people's lives, but there are too many hyenas, and the lions will always be cornered. I saw the black-clothed woman in the crowd turned her hands into claws, and the sharp claws pierced the chest of the person in front of her, viciously smashing the guard's heart. He took it out, which really shocked the others, and they could only watch helplessly as Yanzi pushed open the door of the study and took away the evidence of the collusion between the Yuan family and Beiyi.

After Yan Zi handed over the letter about the collusion between the Yuan family and Beiyi to Li Shang, Li Shang didn't seem very happy, because there was always a word in the letter - "secret weapon".What is it that can surprise and destroy the entire Xiaxi Dynasty in one fell swoop?Li Shang couldn't understand it.After much deliberation, Li Shang still decided to return to the palace, not for Bai Chen, but only for the common people in this world to avoid the suffering of war.Li Shang put down his hoe and soil basket, and left the job of leading the people of Shuzhou to open mountains and build roads to Mi Zixia, and set foot on the road back to Beijing with Yanzi. Along the way, he heard many people say, Yuan Jieyu Conceived with a dragon son, the emperor was overjoyed with the dragon's heart, and at one stroke he named her a concubine of virtue and pardoned the world, which shows how much favor this concubine of virtue is.Li Shang smiled wryly, sure enough, Bai Chen, you still love her the most.The road from Shuzhou to the capital was not peaceful, there were many people who assassinated Li Shang, but all of them were stopped by Yanzi, so Li Shang was safe on this journey.

Although he returned to the capital, it was not so easy to enter the imperial palace. A letter from Li Shang was sent to Bai Chen by Swallow. After that, he would sit in the largest brothel in the capital every day, leaning against the window and playing the piano, offending many masters and sons. Spend a lot of money, but it's hard to kiss Xiangze.This move was clever, even if the Yuan family found out that Li Shang had returned to the capital, they would not dare to attack him lightly.

There is only one sentence in Li Shang's letter to Bai Chen, "I will see you at Xiaoyaolou on another day." How can Bai Chen be someone who is at the mercy of others? When you left the palace and abandoned me, you walked away in a chic way, but now you want me to come out again. Seeing you in the palace, how can it be so simple? !Originally wanted to hang out with that fox demon for a few more days, but found that after learning about him, his thoughts became more and more crazy. Helpless, Bai Chen had to disguise himself and go to the brothel, even forgetting that he could order someone to take that little thing away. Bring it into the palace. ?
