"This is a false accusation! This king still said, 'If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse'. Who knows that Pang Li is close to Fu Nanling, and these things can be forged."

Pang Li retorted: "This secret letter is made of special materials, except for the eyeliner placed by the emperor everywhere, and the secret letter used by each person is different, no one can forge it."

"You!" Fu Nanping glared at Pang Li viciously, and said, "You dog slave, you dare to frame this king, you deserve death!"

"The evidence in the case of Liaoyuan is conclusive. No matter how much you argue, Brother Huang, it's useless. Now that we've reached this point, let's explain everything clearly. Someone, bring them here."

Lu Jiu responded, turned around and exited the hall, and then brought in a group of people. They all knelt down on the ground, saluted He Mingmei and Fu Nanling, and looked at Fu Nanping with deep-seated hatred.

"Ms. Qiu has met the Empress, Your Highness the King of Mausoleum, my lords. Please ask the Empress to avenge the grievances of the women!"

He Mingmei looked at Qiu Shi and asked, "Who are you, and what grievances do you have?"

Mrs. Qiu bowed and replied: "Mrs. Qiu is the wife of Li Guangli who was sentenced in the former Royal Hospital. They are all from the husband's clan. There are more than [-] people. Now there are only eight of us left."

"Li Guangli?" He Mingmei frowned slightly, and said: "It is true that Li Guangli murdered Concubine Lin's mother and son. It is normal for the people of the family to be implicated by him. What grievance do you have?"

Qiu quickly argued: "Your Majesty, Empress, the reason why my family did this is because of King Ping's coercion."

He Mingmei glanced at Fu Nanping and said, "Oh? How do you say that?"

"The adults in my family have always been honest and frugal, never willing to follow others, and the family lives in poverty. Even so, the family is happy and enjoys the family relationship. Unexpectedly, because of this, he was favored by King Ping. He planned my son to get drunk, Framed my son as a murderer, in order to coerce my lord to do things for him. If my lord refused, he would threaten my son's life. My lord is almost old, and I only have one son. If my son dies, the Li family will be cut off. But If you agree, it will be the murder of the royal family, the crime of co-conspiracy, and the crime of implicating the nine clans. My lord would rather abandon my son than agree. But King Ping refused to give up, and threatened the lives of the entire Li family, and promised After the event was completed, the adults had no choice but to agree to keep the entire Li family. But the adults could not trust King Ping, so they sent the family out of the city beforehand and informed the whole family to move. Who knows that we did not die under the law. However, they were still silenced. There are 87 members of the Li clan, and now there are only eight of us left. Empress, the mastermind behind Lin Guifei's case is King Ping, and please ask your empress to avenge us!"

"Do you have evidence?"

"Empress Empress, here is your lord's last letter, which can prove that what the lady said is true." Qiu took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, and put his hands on his head.

Pang Li took the letter from Qiu's hand and presented it to He Mingmei.After He Mingmei read it, he handed it over to all the adults for circulation.

"No, this is a false accusation. You are all Fu Nanling's helpers, and you joined hands to kill our mother and son. Ping'er, Ping'er is the heir recognized by the emperor, and you are the ones who intend to rebel. The crime is heinous!" An You Lan seemed to have just reacted, and shouted excitedly.

He Mingmei ignored An Youlan, and said: "Whether it is the case of Liaoyuan or the murder of Concubine Lin Gui, the evidence is conclusive. King Ping's murder of the emperor's heir, embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and private support of the army are already heinous crimes. Come, come King Ping took it and escorted him to the clan mansion to wait for his release."

Fu Nanping's face was extremely ugly, he drew out the long sword around his waist, looked around everyone, and scolded: "I'll see who dares to touch this king!"

Lu Jiu and Liu Xi looked at each other, jumped up, and both rushed towards Fu Nanping, fighting with Fu Nanping in an instant.

An Youlan wanted to step forward to stop her, but was caught by Pang Li who was leading her.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I am the concubine personally appointed by the emperor, if you dare to treat me like this, you deserve death!" An Youlan kept struggling and cursing.

He Mingmei stepped down from the phoenix chair, came up to An Youlan, raised her hand and hit her hard on the face, and said angrily: "An Youlan, you killed my Heng'er, and I will definitely let you die!" Please die!"

"No, I don't. Fu Nanheng's death has nothing to do with me. Don't try to slander me!"

"Slander? Someone, bring Mother An to Ben Gong."

An Youlan was startled, then looked in the direction of the palace gate, and sure enough, she saw Nanny An being brought up by the guards.She turned to look at He Mingmei and said, "What do you mean?"

He Mingmei ignored An Youlan, looked at Nanny An, and said, "Nurse An, you have followed An Youlan into the palace for more than 20 years, and you should be clear about what she has done all these years, so tell me today Let everyone listen, if what you say is true, I will spare you the death penalty."

Nanny An raised her head and glanced at An Youlan, and said, "Yes, this old slave must have told the truth."

"Nurse An, what do you mean by that? You are the person I trust the most, but now you are being bribed?" An Youlan looked at Nurse An in disbelief.

"I would like to report to the Empress, the eldest prince was indeed murdered by Concubine Lan Gui and Xiao Hai's conspiracy, more than that, Concubine Sun had a miscarriage, Concubine Liu was framed for adultery with the guards, and Concubine Hua Gui gave birth prematurely, all because of Concubine Lan Gui's poisoning. "

"Concubine Hua Gui?" He Mingmei looked at Fu Nanling, saw his surprised face, and said, "Then, the King Ling's body is so weak, and An Youlan was the victim?"

"Yes, Concubine Lan is jealous that Concubine Hua is favored, lest the prince in her stomach will be more expensive than the second prince, so she bought Zaoxiang, the maid beside Concubine Hua, and poisoned her food, that's why The noble concubine Zhihua was born prematurely, and the mausoleum king was born weak and sick."

"An Youlan, I really didn't expect you to have such a vicious mind. Your hands are covered in blood and you have killed so many innocent lives. Wouldn't you be afraid in the dead of night?"

"You maidservant, you dare to frame me, see if I don't kill you!" An Youlan rushed towards Nanny An after she finished speaking, but was stopped by the guards at the side.

"Empress, everything this servant said is true, if there is half a lie, there will be no place for burial."

"Bad maid! Old dog! I've treated you kindly for so many years, yet you framed me!" An Youlan struggled frantically, looking at Nanny An wishing she could eat her flesh and lay bare her skin.

"Treat me well? Concubine Lan Gui, this old slave thinks he is loyal and devoted himself to serving you. I only hope that you can treat my two children well, but I never thought that you would give this old slave's daughter to Xiao Hai as a gift in order to win people's hearts. For food, let her be tortured to death, and this old slave will avenge Lian Er today!" Nanny An looked at An Youlan with hatred in her eyes.

"That lowly servant girl actually wanted to climb into Ping'er's bed. How could I spare her lightly? You should be grateful to me for not cutting her into pieces!" An Youlan looked up at He Mingmei and said, "He Mingmei , you colluded with King Mausoleum to usurp the throne, you deserve death! The throne belongs to Ping'er, and the position of empress dowager belongs to me, so you don't want to compete with me!"

He Mingmei said angrily: "Come here, beat me until I can't speak. I want to see how hard your mouth is!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The nanny next to He Mingmei took an iron ruler from nowhere, and as soon as she raised her hand, she slapped An Youlan's cheek fiercely. There was a very loud 'snap', and she hit An Youlan with just one blow. He vomited blood and lost a tooth.

Fu Nanping put two fingers in his mouth, and with a whistle, a group of dead soldiers suddenly rushed out from outside the hall, surrounding Fu Nanling and others.

Fu Nanping looked at the people in the hall, with a sullen look on his face, and said coldly: "Kill, leave no one behind!"

The dead men in black rushed forward, carrying weapons and killing anyone they saw.Lu Jiu and Liu Xi quickly retreated to protect Fu Nanling and He Mingmei.And the military generals present also drew their weapons one after another, protecting those civil servants who were powerless.

Lu Jiu pulled out the signal flare from his sleeve, and flew to the outside of the hall. The signal flare lifted into the air with a 'swoosh' and exploded instantly.The silent night was pierced by sharp voices, followed by loud shouts of killing.In the huge Yikun Palace, people with weapons were everywhere.

Holding a long sword, Fu Nanping aimed at Fu Nanling in the crowd. After being reborn, he thought he had a chance to win, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Fu Nanling in the end. If this kind of unwillingness and hatred can be turned into substance, it will surely burn Fu Nanling to the ground. into ashes.

"Fu Nanling, even if you die today, I will drag you to hell with me!"

Fu Nanling smiled contemptuously and said, "It's up to you!"

Fu Nanping only felt his anger go straight to his head, he raised his long sword and pointed at Fu Nanling, saying: "At all costs, kill Fu Nanling for this king!"

The dead men were ordered to surround Fu Nanling one after another.

Seeing this, Fu Nanling quickly distanced himself from the ministers, and said, "Grandpa Li, Mr. Lin Ge, stay away from me to avoid accidental injury."

Li Lin's expression froze, and he said: "What are you talking about, don't say anything else, anyway, you are the king, we are the ministers, how can a minister disregard the reason of the king."

"Grandpa Li, I accept your wish, but this is a grievance between me and the second emperor brother, let us resolve it ourselves."

Lin Xiaoxu said aloud: "Your Highness's words are wrong. Your Highness is the best candidate for succession. Even if we all confess here, we can't let His Highness have an accident."

"Old Lin Ge is right, no matter what today, we must keep His Highness!" Sun Pengchun followed suit.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Fu Nanling said with relief: "Okay, then today, everyone will follow the king to kill!"

Li Lin and the others thought that Fu Nanling was just talking, but they never thought that he would really draw out a long sword and hold it in his hand.While speaking, the dead soldiers rushed forward, Lu Jiu and other eagle guards were the first to meet with their soldiers, followed by Xiao Lizi and other eunuchs, and then Li Lin and other generals, they surrounded Fu Nanling and He Mingmei in the middle, trying to protect their Safety.

"Ling'er be careful!" He Mingmei saw a dead man rushing out of the crowd and slashing towards Fu Nanling, and hurriedly sounded a warning.

Fu Nanling held up his sword to block, but he couldn't catch it. The dead man held down his long sword, and the dead man's eyes shone with excitement, but in the next moment, he was stabbed in the chest by Fu Nanling's dagger, and he fell down unwillingly.

Just as Fu Nanling took a breath, another dead man broke through the crowd and rushed forward. He quickly turned around to pass the short knife of the dead man, then took out the anesthesia spray Ji Linglan gave him, held his breath, and pointed at him Sprayed his face twice.The dead man thought it was a hidden weapon, so he quickly dodged it, and when he realized it, he was already powerless and fell to the ground. Fu Nanling picked up the long sword and stabbed him in the chest.

Two dead soldiers died one after another at the hands of this sick man, Fu Nanling. Fu Nanping was very angry and cursed: "Trash! They are all trash!"

Fu Nanling picked up the long sword and pointed it at Fu Nanping, provocatively, Fu Nanling was so angry that he rushed towards Fu Nanling without hesitation.Lu Jiu and the others wanted to come to rescue, but they were entangled by the dead men and couldn't move.He could only watch as Fu Nanping rushed in front of Fu Nanling, instead of hitting him.Fu Nanling dodged in embarrassment, and even rolled and crawled. Fu Nanping seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse, playing with him again and again. Before he vented all the accumulated anger, he would not be so easy Kill Fu Nanling.

Fu Nanling, who fell on the ground, suddenly looked behind Fu Nanping, his joy was beyond words, and he said, "Alan, you are finally here."

Fu Nanping was startled, then turned his head to look behind him, but he didn't see Ji Linglan's figure. When he realized that he had been caught, he turned his head quickly, but it was too late, the long sword pierced his chest, causing severe pain. Afterwards, he raised his head in a daze, and looked into Fu Nanling's cold eyes.

Fu Nanling knocked off the long sword in Fu Nanping's hand, whispered in his ear: "Brother Emperor, you died in my hands in the previous life, and you died in my hands in this life. This is fate, and it is useless for you to struggle again .”

Fu Nanping firmly grabbed Fu Nanling's collar, and asked weakly: "Fu Nanling, ah... Where did Alan go? What...what happened to him?"

Hearing Fu Nanping mention Ji Linglan, Fu Nanling was furious. He recalled Fu Nanping's previous words again, and said, "Alan is worthy of mentioning you. Fu Nanping, even if you die, I will not let you go." , I want to crush you to ashes to avenge Ah Lan's previous life!"

"Haha...haha..." Fu Nanping coughed out a mouthful of blood, and said, "I'm not worthy? Fu... Nanling, you are even more unworthy. It's you... you abandoned him, otherwise how could he... how could he let me bully him?" Alan's taste..."

Fu Nanling drew out his long sword angrily, and stabbed it in again. Fu Nanping spat out a mouthful of blood, but fell to the ground with a ferocious smile. He kept looking at Fu Nanling until the last ray of life disappeared.

With Fu Nanping's fall, those dead soldiers lost their fighting spirit, and were soon harvested by the Imperial Forest Army and Eagle Guards who rushed in.

An Youlan, who was knocked out, woke up at this moment, but when she saw Fu Nanping's body, she passed out again.

On the grounds of physical discomfort, Fu Nanling entrusted He Mingmei and other cabinet ministers with full power to clean up the battlefield and capture Fu Nanping's remnant party, and left gracefully.On the one hand, it was to express his attitude, he didn't particularly care about that position; on the other hand, it was to fully let He Mingmei and the ministers feel his trust.

Fu Nanling returned to the palace, took a bath under Xiao Lizi's service, and lay down on the bed but couldn't fall asleep anyway. Whether it was the joy of victory or the regret of his past life, he wanted to share it with Ji Linglan, but Ji Linglan Lan was thousands of miles away at this time.He took out his pocket watch, looked at the running hands on it, and murmured, "Ah Lan, when will we meet again?"

Ji Linglan seemed to have sensed something, and took out her pocket watch to rub it. Missing was like wild weeds, tormenting the hearts of the two of them.

The night passed quickly, and as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Ji Linglan opened her eyes and said: "Pack up and go, we must leave the city quickly. Tinger and I are together, and the three of you will leave the city separately. The horses are no longer needed. Change into a carriage."

"My lord, where do we meet?"

"I'm not familiar with this place, you decide."

Xu Ning thought for a while and said, "After leaving the city, there is a mountain ten miles to the south, and there is a tea shed at the foot of the mountain. We will meet there."

"Okay, then it's settled, let's go."

The five people left the inn one after another, they did not take the horses with them, but bought a carriage in the street market and hired a groom.Ji Linglan ordered Xu Ning to steal the guides of several merchants, and they left the city without any danger.

After meeting at the meeting point, Ji Linglan sent the coachman away, and Zhang Ye drove the car, and the group of five people started on the road again.

Ji Pingting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, thanks to you this time, otherwise we would be in danger."

Ji Linglan still frowned, and said: "Their target this time is not just me, I am worried that something will happen to my mother."

Ji Pingting also frowned, and said, "Brother, do you mean they plan to assassinate parents?"

Ji Linglan sighed and said, "I hope my guess is wrong."

Ji Pingting said worriedly: "Brother, let's go to Kyoto quickly."

Ji Linglan nodded and said: "Okay, then we will hurry up and try not to enter the city, so if we encounter villages on the way, we will try to supply as much food as possible."

"Okay, listen to brother."

A group of five hurried on their way. To be on the safe side, they had never entered the town since they came out of Lin'an City, and slept in the wild at night.After driving for half a month like this, it seemed that they would reach the imperial capital in another hundred miles. They could no longer sleep in the wilderness, and had to pass through the mausoleum city to enter the imperial capital.

Looking at the blocked city gate in front of her, Ji Pingting couldn't help asking: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Wait, at our speed, before the mother and the others, we will wait for them here, meet them, and then enter this mausoleum."

"Brother, I don't know how many days it will take for mother and the others to arrive. If we stay here for too long, we will definitely attract their attention."

Xu Ning said aloud: "My lord, princess, there is a ruined temple on the mountain not far from here. If we settle down there and wait for the princess in turn, the goal won't be too big if we are alone."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Yes, we will do as Xu Ning said."

The five people caught up with the carriage and went to the hillside not far away. They said it was a mountain, but it was a mound tens of meters high, and there was a fairly flat dirt road. Although it took a little effort, they could drive the carriage up.

When they came to the ruined temple, everyone got off the carriage. Xu Ning walked into the ruined temple first to check it out. After confirming that there was no danger, he let Ji Linglan and Ji Pingting in. Zhang Ye took the initiative to go down the mountain to guard the official road.Lin Qi and Xu Ning simply cleaned the ruined temple, and the five of them settled down here.

Ji Linglan looked at Ji Pingting, and asked with concern: "Ting'er, I've been sleeping in the open air for the past half month, are you still used to it?"

Ji Pingting brushed her hair and said with a smile: "Except for not being able to take a bath, there is nothing I am not used to, as long as my brother doesn't dislike me."

Like Ji Linglan and the others, they are better. When passing the river, they can go down to the river to take a bath, but Ji Pingting is a woman, so it is somewhat inconvenient, so she hasn't bathed for nearly half a month.

"Why would my brother dislike my sister?" Ji Linglan took out some snacks from the package, handed them to Ji Pingting, and said, "It's getting dark soon, let's eat some snacks first."

"Thank you bro." Ji Pingting took the snack and ate it in small bites.

Ji Linglan asked aloud: "Ting'er, how many children does this prince have?"

Ji Pingting replied: "The prince's uncle has a son and three daughters, one son and one daughter are born to the princess, the cousin is called Lin Yongye, the cousin is called Lin Xian'er, the other cousins ​​are born to the prince's side concubine, and the older one is called Lin Yongye. Lin Lier, the younger one is called Lin Qiuer."

Ji Linglan then asked, "How old is this year?"

"My cousin is eighteen, my cousin is sixteen, and my two cousins ​​are fourteen and nine."

"I heard that the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion is weak and sick, is it true?"

Ji Pingting nodded, and said: "Really, I have been weak and sickly since I was a child, and I caught wind and cold at every turn. The imperial doctor said that it was because the princess ate something by mistake when she was pregnant, which almost caused a miscarriage. Later, the child was saved, but it ended up being a baby." The result of infirmity."

"I see." Ji Linglan nodded, and continued to ask: "What kind of person is the Crown Princess in your impression?"

Ji Pingting thought for a while, and said, "Auntie is gentle and kind, and loves me very much. When I was young, my father would lead the army to fight, and my mother would accompany me every time. I was left alone in the imperial capital. At that time, I would move into the prince's mansion. My cousin and cousin are companions. Food and clothing, no matter which aspect my aunt never favors, if my cousin has some, she will prepare a copy for me. If I hadn’t heard Aunt Qiaoyi say, it’s my aunt’s pie If someone assassinates my brother, I never believe my aunt would do that."

Ji Linglan stroked Ji Pingting's hair comfortingly, and said, "Ting'er, don't be sad, you still have your parents, and me."

"Brother, do you say that my aunt's kindness to me is all fake? And my cousin and cousin, they dote on me so much, are they also fake?"

"People who are passionate about power have deep scheming. Everything they do is purposeful, but no matter what the purpose is, it is ultimately for their own benefit. If someone is not harmful to his interests, or even beneficial, Then he will be kind to this person in every possible way; once this person harms his interests, he will give up or even get rid of him without hesitation." Ji Linglan paused, and said: "Your cousin, I I haven't been in contact with it, so I dare not make a conclusion, but your aunt is indeed a scheming person."

"That's right. That day in Lin'an City, what Zhang Zhou said was that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go. If they have already noticed that there is a problem with my mother, they have probably already determined that the problem lies with me. The fact that my aunt gave such an order is enough to show that she treats me. There is really no sincerity at all.”

Seeing Ji Pingting's bright eyes dim, Ji Linglan said distressedly: "Ting'er, it's a fool's thing to feel sorry for someone who doesn't deserve it. Ting'er is so smart, she can't be a fool."

Ji Pingting smiled 'puhhh' and said, "Brother, you really know how to make people happy. I don't know which girl will be so lucky to marry you as his wife. Oh, by the way, brother said last time that there are already I met my sweetheart, who is that, can I say it now?"

"He..." Fu Nanling's figure automatically appeared in Ji Linglan's mind, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he said, "He is a very smart and very stupid person."

Ji Pingting was a little confused, and said, "Brother, don't you think what you said is contradictory?"

Ji Linglan said with a smile: "There is no contradiction. He is smart when it comes to dealing with business matters, but he is stupid when it comes to feelings, that's why I said that."

"So that's the case." Ji Pingting asked curiously, "Then who is this person?"

"It's inconvenient to say now. I'll formally introduce you when you see each other later." Ji Linglan wasn't sure about the attitudes of Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu after they learned that he and Fu Nanling were engaged. Less of something is better than more of it.

"It's so mysterious." Ji Pingting immediately thought of something, and said excitedly: "Brother, did you mean that she will come to the country to find you?"

Ji Linglan hesitated and said, "Most likely."

"Wow, chasing a husband for thousands of miles, this is too brave!" Ji Pingting said with a smile: "Brother, if she really comes, you must be the first to tell me, I want to see what it looks like It's a strange woman to have such courage."

Ji Linglan just smiled and didn't explain.
