After Fu Nanling helped Ji Linglan deal with the injury on his foot, he let the two outside the door come in.
Lu Jiu glanced at Ji Linglan, bowed and saluted, "I will see you, master!"
Fu Nanling said bluntly: "There is Cangshan Mountain 20 miles northwest of Ningcheng. Sun Yi and his son are hiding here. You go and investigate now."
"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
Seeing that Fu Nanling was unclear, Ji Linglan quickly added: "Brother Lu, I suspect that not only Sun Yi and his son are hiding in that village, but also an army. You must be careful when investigating. Their whereabouts In a house at the easternmost end of the village, the gate is black, with two copper rings on the gate, two stone lions in front of the gate, and the head on the left has a crack."
"Is there an army in the village?" Lu Jiu looked a little surprised.
"As for this matter, I have two guesses: Either the people in that village were all disguised by soldiers sent by Sun Yi; or the Cangshan Mountain was hollowed out, and all the troops were hidden in the mountainside of Cangshan Mountain Inside. And I am more inclined to the latter guess."
Ji Linglan kept thinking on the way back, it was easy for Sergeant Qiao to pretend to be a villager, but since it is an army, it has to be drilled every day, such a big commotion, even if the whole village is Sun Yi's people, it is unavoidable There is a possibility of exposure.Hollowing out the entire mountain sounds unbelievable, but it is also easy to deceive the sky, and practicing in the mountains, even if you shout out your throat, it will be difficult to hear it from outside. This is the best protection and concealment measure.
Both Fu Nanling and Lu Jiu were smart people, and they understood Ji Linglan's words almost instantly.
Seeing the two of them lost in thought, Ji Linglan reminded: "The secret passage that enters the mountainside must be in that house. But it's hard to say whether there is another exit."
"Did you hear Alan's words clearly?"
"Yes, my subordinates will remember."
"You take people to investigate, and report immediately after you find the entrance."
"Yes, this subordinate will leave." Lu Jiu turned and exited the room without delay.
Fu Nanling looked at Xiao Lizi and asked, "What has Mr. Zhang been up to lately?"
Xiao Lizi quickly replied: "Master, Mr. Zhang goes to the barracks to practice at the beginning of the hour every day, and returns to the city at about the end of the hour. After that, he does business in the capital's yamen, and he doesn't return to the residence until the middle of the hour."
"Go and tell Mr. Zhang that Ah Lan was kidnapped by Gao Wei and escaped ten miles northwest of Ningcheng. I suspect that Gao Wei and others are hiding nearby, so let him strictly investigate."
"Yes, the slave is going right now." Xiao Lizi bowed and retreated, and closed the door behind him.
"A Ling still doubts Mr. Zhang?"
"There are troops hiding around Ningcheng, even in the middle of the mountain, I don't believe he knows nothing about it." Fu Nanling sneered, and said, "It seems that Sun Yi and his son have escaped, maybe they will be with us. This Master Zhang is related."
"By the way, Ah Ling, has the Gao Mansion been thoroughly searched? Have you found any secret passages?"
"I did find one, which leads to the Sun Mansion, and it's in Gao Jin's study."
"Gao Weineng took me out of the blocked Ningcheng without anyone noticing. It is very likely that he used secret passages from agencies, but we haven't found it yet."
Fu Nanling nodded, and said: "The Gao Mansion has been locked down, and the Eagle Guards are in charge. The secret passages used by Gao Wei must not be in the Gao Mansion."
"Zhang Hanchen has a concubine, and Gao Jin may have one too. I think A Ling can interrogate Gao Jin's wife, and maybe he can gain something." Although Ji Linglan has never been in a relationship, she also knows that she will be the first to discover her husband. Those who have no outside room are often the people next to the pillow.
"Okay." Fu Nanling walked towards Ji Linglan, put his hands on his shoulders, and wrapped his arms around his waist.
Ji Linglan was taken aback for a moment, then she came back to her senses, quickly hid herself, and said, "A Ling, what are you doing?"
"Your foot is injured and you can't get off the ground. I'll carry you back to the bedroom to rest." Fu Nanling answered as a matter of course.
Ji Linglan waved her hands hastily, and said, "No need, just a few steps, I can walk across it with my feet."
"No, you can't go to the ground until your foot is healed." Fu Nanling rarely spoke to Ji Linglan in an unquestionable tone.
Ji Linglan frowned slightly, a little unaccustomed to Fu Nanling's change, and said: "Then just find an attendant to carry me there. Your health is not good, how can..."
Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan silently, his bright eyes dimmed little by little, and said with a wry smile: "Alan also despises me. That's right, with my dilapidated body, maybe someday people will be gone. I thought I was not fit enough and had some brains to protect the people around me, but who would have thought that they would take you away under my nose, where should I go, I am really useless."
Seeing that Fu Nanling's eyes were red, the tears slowly accumulated in his eyes, and he returned to the soft and cute state again, Ji Linglan's heart softened all of a sudden, he sighed helplessly, and said: "Yes, it's just hugging Shall I go? I’m sure, don’t give me golden beans, I hate this the most.”
Hearing this, Fu Nanling quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves, bent down and hugged Ji Linglan, with the appearance that he was afraid that Ji Linglan would go back on his word.Ji Linglan hooked his neck cooperatively, raised her breath subconsciously, hoping to reduce her weight, and nestled in his arms without daring to move.Because he was worried about Fu Nanling's body, he didn't feel uncomfortable for a while.
Fu Nanling slightly hooked his lips, a triumphant smile flashed in his eyes, and walked towards the bedroom with Ji Linglan in his arms. His steps were very steady, and he did not seem to be struggling at all.Carefully placing Ji Linglan on the bed, Fu Nanling breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Alan, you rest for a while, I have to report the military affairs to my father, and I will come to see you later."
Ji Linglan nodded and said, "A Ling, I need your help with something else. In the depths of the woods ten miles to the northwest, there is a male corpse. It is the guard of that house. I accidentally killed him. I hid the body there, and you asked someone to help me bury him properly. Then check who else is in his family, I'm a bream┎hookァ!
"Okay, leave this matter to me. Don't think about it. People like them must have unclean hands. If you kill him, you are doing harm to the people." Fu Nanling understood Ji Linglan, although his tone seemed to be It seems to be calm, but the heart must be suffering.
Ji Linglan smiled noncommittally, and said, "A Ling, go get busy, I'll sleep for a while."
Fu Nanling said worriedly: "Then you sleep for a while, and I'll come to accompany you when I'm done."
"I'm fine, but you, with such an ugly face, you must pay attention to your body and don't overwork yourself."
"Well, I'll tell father and queen the whole story, and I'll come to rest with you." Fu Nanling didn't give Ji Linglan a chance to refuse, and turned and left the room.
Ji Linglan smiled helplessly, and as soon as she relaxed, her tiredness surged up, and she fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
In front of the courtyard gate, Fu Nanling looked at Xiao Linzi expressionlessly, and said, "I'll give you another chance, if he suffers another half damage, then you should die to apologize."
Xiao Linzi, who was kneeling on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, I obey!"
Fu Nanling didn't say any more, looked back at Ji Linglan's bedroom, turned and left.
In her sleep, Ji Linglan frowned, her face was dripping with cold sweat, her hands clenched into fists, it was obvious that she was in a nightmare.In the dream, he was standing in the woods, and in front of him was the place where he hid the dead body. He bent down and pushed the leaves away, revealing the whole body of the dead body. It's full of maggots, and it's still incomplete.
Ji Linglan murmured to herself: "How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this..."
He stretched out his hand to the wound in the style of the poem, but his wrist was grabbed. It was a hand full of maggots. The flesh on the finger had been half rotten, exposing the miserable white phalanx inside.Ji Linglan was frightened and fell to the ground. She looked at the corpse's head in horror. She saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at him, and a mouse crawled out between opening and closing her mouth.The mouse didn't run away, but stared at him with eyes as blood-red as a corpse, and opened his mouth to say something human, "Why do you want to kill me? You give me back my life, give me back my life..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry..." Ji Linglan murmured in her sleep, her fingers tightly clutching the bedding under her body.
As soon as Fu Nanling entered the door, he heard Ji Linglan's murmur. He walked to the bed and looked at it. He couldn't help frowning, and shouted: "Alan, wake up, Alan, wake up!"
A familiar voice rang in his ears, Ji Linglan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.He was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and the guilt in his eyes was obvious.
Fu Nanling took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped Ji Linglan's sweat, and asked with concern: "Alan, you're having nightmares again."
Breathing calmly, Ji Linglan took the handkerchief from Fu Nanling's hand, and said with a wry smile: "I feel ashamed."
"Alan, you are too kind, such a temper will suffer sooner or later." This is the only place where Fu Nanling is worried about Ji Linglan.
"What's wrong with being nice to people?"
"It's not wrong to be kind to others, but you have to divide them. For bad guys and enemies, if you have kind thoughts for him, he may not accept your affection. In the end, you will be the one who gets hurt."
"'You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others', I just need to remember this sentence, and it is probably enough." Ji Linglan understands the survival rules of this world, but he really can't adapt to it for a while. Maybe it's because he hasn't had a bad time yet.
Fu Nanling sighed, Ji Linglan's personality is his most attractive feature, and it is also his exposed weakness, once caught, he will definitely suffer.
"You're hungry. I've asked someone to make some food. If you're still tired, eat before going to sleep."
"A Ling, don't be too busy, take a rest quickly, your complexion is very bad." Ji Linglan looked at him worriedly.
Fu Nanling said with a smile: "Okay, then Ah Lan will accompany me to eat something, and then accompany me to rest."
"A Ling Mo Nao. The emperor is here too. If you are so reckless, if it reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid I will lose my head. Although life is difficult, I will not give it up!
"Alan, don't worry, father has returned to Beijing, and should have left Ningcheng by now."
"Back to Beijing? Why? The matter in Liaoyuan is not over yet..." Ji Linglan suddenly had an epiphany as she spoke, and said: "The emperor is afraid that Zhang Hanchen will collude with Sun Yi. If news of him in Ningcheng is spread, maybe They will jump over the wall in a hurry, which is not good for the emperor?"
"Alan is smart." Fu Nanling praised without hesitation, and said, "Father is my backer. As long as he is around, Zhang Hanchen dare not touch me unless death is imminent. Now he doesn't know what I want. He became suspicious, even if he was unwilling, he would accompany me to perform this scene well."
"But your body...isn't your majesty worried about how it will work if you continue to work so hard?"
Hearing Ji Linglan's undisguised worry, Fu Nanling raised the corners of his mouth again and again, and said with a smile: "Isn't there Alan here? At worst, I will act as the background board in the future and leave everything to Alan. How about it?" ?”
Looking at Fu Nanling's appearance of a dog pleasing his master, he couldn't help but said amusedly: "I don't know who said before that I won't let me take care of the future, but now they say that I will leave the future to me. Ideas change a little bit really quickly."
"Hey, it's because my dilapidated body is really not up to the mark, so I can only rely on our family, Alan." Fu Nanling giggled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
"It's really nothing to do with you. I'm hungry, eat quickly, and take a good rest after eating."
The negative emotions surging in Ji Linglan's heart were disturbed by Fu Nanling, and they dissipated a lot unconsciously.When Ji Linglan regained consciousness, she realized his intention, and couldn't help being moved.
After a brief wash, Ji Linglan had dinner with Fu Nanling, and then lay down on the bed to rest. Because she had slept before and had something on her mind, Ji Linglan lay on the bed for a long time without falling asleep.Fu Nanling beside him was breathing very lightly, curled up sideways on the bed, his fingers tightly clutching his sleeves, this was an obviously insecure sleeping position.It was not the first time that the two slept together. Although Fu Nanling was pestering, he never had physical contact with him, at most he grabbed his sleeve. This was the reason why he could tolerate Fu Nanling sleeping beside him.
Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling fascinated, the same eyebrows, but two completely different sides, one side is a cute and coquettish rabbit, the other side is a cunning and fierce fox, it seems that every side is him, and every side is like him. With his disguise on one side, Ji Linglan couldn't see through him.
In a trance, a picture appeared in my mind, a handsome man wearing a robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes under the beaded curtain of the crown, sitting on a dragon chair, looking indifferently ahead.
Ji Linglan was stunned, and looked at Fu Nanling next to him again. He would not admit that those eyes were Fu Nanling's eyes, but the indifference in his eyes made Ji Linglan inexplicably feel heartache, and the more he looked back, The more the mantle hurts.
Ji Linglan clutched his chest. This feeling had appeared in his dreams before. He really had no idea why it happened.
"Could it be that I still have the ability to predict?" Ji Linglan couldn't help muttering in her heart, "But why should my heart ache when A Ling sits on the throne?"
Ji Linglan, who was puzzled, gave up, not to worry about her brain cells, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, and now the random thoughts seem to be of no use except to increase her psychological burden.
Hu Siluan and Ji Linglan unconsciously fell asleep, but Fu Nanling who was sleeping next to him opened his eyes, leaned towards Ji Linglan, hugged his arm, and closed his eyes again. Eye.
The two of them slept until the evening. At Ji Linglan's insistence, the two went to Gao Jin's mansion together on the condition that Ji Linglan had to sit in a wheelchair.
Ji Linglan said dumbfoundedly: "A Ling, my foot is just a flesh wound, is it an exaggeration to use a wheelchair?"
"If Ah Lan doesn't care, then I can go with Ah Lan in my arms."
Just such a sentence made Ji Linglan sit up obediently. The princess hugged him last time because he was worried about Fu Nanling's body. At that time, he didn't feel much. The man was hugged by a 35-year-old princess...
The picture in his mind was automatically substituted into the original body, Ji Linglan closed his eyes, the picture was so beautiful, he felt that his eyes were going to be swollen.
Ji Linglan was pushed all the way by Fu Nanling to the main hall of the Gao Mansion, and originally planned to go to the dungeon, but was stopped by Fu Nanling because of his blood and his body couldn't stand it.Ji Linglan was already smart, so she naturally understood the meaning of Fu Nanling's words. Although it was unacceptable for her to accuse her of poverty, she didn't say much.
Xiao Lizi made tea for the two of them, then stepped aside and stood with Xiao Linzi.
After a while, Gauss came in from the door, bowed and said: "Master, I have brought you here."
"Bring them in."
Gauss responded, retreated to the door, and said loudly, "Come in."
As his words fell, five people came in at the door. On both sides were the eagle guards who were escorting the prisoners, and in the middle were three women. Dirty, walking weakly, it is obvious that he has just been tortured.
"Kneel down!" The eagle guards on both sides pushed the three of them.
The three fell to their knees without any struggle.
After saluting, the two eagle guards stepped aside, one left and one right, in a protective posture.
Fu Nanling asked lightly: "Which one is Mrs. Gao?"
The middle-aged woman kneeling in the middle raised her head, looked directly at Fu Nanling, and said, "I am."
Without further ado, Xiao Lizi stepped forward with a slap across the face and said, "Presumptuous! If you dare to look directly at your lord, you know you have committed a capital crime!"
The woman was knocked to the ground, but slowly straightened up, looked at Xiao Lizi with a sneer, and said, "Even if I treat him with respect, can I still live?"
Fu Nanling waved his hand, and Xiao Lizi bowed and retreated.
"It seems that Mrs. Gao is not ignorant of what Mr. Gao has done."
The sneer on Mrs. Gao's face froze, then she lowered her gaze and remained silent.
"Master Gao corrupted the law by corrupting the law and assassinating his colleagues. This is his own crime, at most it involves his family members. It's just that plotting rebellion is a serious crime against the nine tribes of Yi. These nine tribes not only belong to the Gao family, but also include Mrs. Gao's natal family. "
Fu Nanling's tone of voice was very peaceful, but the words he said had a strong smell of blood, which made people shudder. Ji Linglan, who was listening, also frowned subconsciously.
Madam Gao looked up at Fu Nanling, her original calm was gone, her eyes were full of fear.
"My lord, it is true that your husband is corrupt and perverting the law, and it is true that you assassinated your colleagues, but this attempt to rebel is a nonsense. I hope that your lord will see clearly and don't listen to the villain's framing."
Fu Nanling raised his eyebrows, and said, "Small man? Who is the villain in Mrs. Gao's mouth?"
With a few simple sentences, the unruly Mrs. Gao was handled, and Ji Linglan once again marveled at Fu Nanling's mind.
Mrs. Gao was stunned, with a moment of hesitation on her face, and then she said: "Of course it is Li Tai. He hated her husband for killing Liu Ji and Li Heng, and also made an alliance with him to death, so he framed her husband for plotting rebellion. I hope you will see clearly. Take him at his word."
"Madam Li's words are reasonable." Fu Nanling nodded and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Gao's plan to rebel is not what Mr. Li said."
"No?" Mrs. Gao's eyes flickered, and she seemed to be disturbed and said: "My lord, no matter who framed your husband, it is all nonsense. I hope your lord will find out."
"I would like to believe Mrs. Gao, but the emperor is hard to say. After all, one side is a criminal who has committed a felony, and the other is a high-ranking loyal minister. I believe Mrs. Gao should know who to trust."
Ji Linglan secretly smiled inwardly, Fu Nanling made it clear that he led Mrs. Gao's suspicion to Zhang Hanchen, and he was the Shengmyian site's twisted sword to induce Mrs. Gao to tell the unknown secret about Zhang Hanchen.It's just that he didn't understand why Fu Nanling didn't ask Gao Jin directly. After all, it was Zhang Hanchen who moved him. Logically speaking, Gao Jin should hate Zhang Hanchen even more.
An anxious look appeared in Mrs. Gao's eyes, and she said, "My lord, you must not be fooled by that traitor Zhang Hanchen, he is not a good guy."
Fu Nanling looked at Mrs. Gao with interest, and said, "Oh? How do you say that?"
"The reason why Zhang Hanchen doesn't collude with her husband is not because of his noble character, but because he has an old grudge with her husband."
"Grudges? I always like to listen to stories. Madam Gao might as well tell you in detail."
"My lord, the offender knows that she is guilty, so she dare not ask for forgiveness. I only hope that the lord can save the offender's life. He is only two years old, and he doesn't know about his affairs. He will definitely not do anything that will hinder the adults and the court. The woman's request, the criminal woman will know everything and say everything."
"Mrs. Gao is talking about conditions with me?" Fu Nanling's tone was still very light, but his displeasure could be heard.
"Women don't dare!" Mrs. Gao prostrated herself on the ground.
Fu Nanling looked at Mrs. Gao silently. No sound could be heard in the room. Ji Linglan only felt that the atmosphere was a bit oppressive. The other two who just knelt on the ground with their heads down also instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling quietly. Although he couldn't bear it and wanted to help that innocent child, he also knew that now was not the time to interrupt.
"Okay, if Mrs. Gao says it's worth more than a life, then I will accept it."
Mrs. Gao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said happily, "Thank you, my lord!"
Seeing this, the two women around seemed to see hope, and they all said, "Master, please forgive our children, and please forgive our children!"
Seeing that Fu Nanling frowned slightly, Xiao Lizi immediately said: "Presumptuous! If you make any more noise, you will be punished!"
The two women were so frightened that they shrank subconsciously, but they were unwilling to give up this opportunity.Kneeling on Mrs. Gao's left side, the woman with pretty eyes begged: "My lord, the prisoner is Gao Jin's concubine and knows a lot of his secrets. The prisoner is willing to say anything, and I just beg my lord to spare my daughter's life." .”
Another woman also spoke, "My lord, the prisoner also knows, please forgive my daughter."
Fu Nanling looked at the women in the hall, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and said: "Whether you can keep your children depends on whether the information you provide is valuable. Let Madam Gao speak first. "
"Yes, my lord." Mrs. Gao paused, and then said: "Gao Jin and Zhang Hanchen were originally from the same hometown, and their former residences were in Lingcheng, Liaoguang. The Zhang family and the Gao family were family friends, and they both had prestige in Lingcheng. In a powerful family, all grievances are caused by a woman."
"Woman? What kind of woman can make the two great families have a feud?"
"My lord, the woman's name is Ruyan. She was originally the daughter of a farmer in Changliu Village on the outskirts of Lingcheng. By chance, Gao Jin and Zhang Hanchen traveled together and met Ruyan who went up the mountain to pick tea. Both of them fell in love with Ruyan at first sight. , made up my mind to marry Ruyan in."
Madam Gao lowered her head, everyone couldn't see her expression clearly, but they didn't disturb her.
After a pause, Mrs. Gao continued: "They told the family about their intentions, but they were opposed by the elders in the family. Although Ruyan was innocent, but her status was low and her family was poor. After all, it was not the right family, let alone the Zhang family at that time. I have a marriage contract with the Gao family."
Lu Jiu glanced at Ji Linglan, bowed and saluted, "I will see you, master!"
Fu Nanling said bluntly: "There is Cangshan Mountain 20 miles northwest of Ningcheng. Sun Yi and his son are hiding here. You go and investigate now."
"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
Seeing that Fu Nanling was unclear, Ji Linglan quickly added: "Brother Lu, I suspect that not only Sun Yi and his son are hiding in that village, but also an army.

She saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at him, and a mouse crawled out between opening and closing her mouth.The mouse didn't run away, but stared at him with eyes as blood-red as a corpse, and opened his mouth to say something human, "Why do you want to kill me? You give me back my life, give me back my life..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry..." Ji Linglan murmured in her sleep, her fingers tightly clutching the bedding under her body.
As soon as Fu Nanling entered the door, he heard Ji Linglan's murmur. He walked to the bed and looked at it. He couldn't help frowning, and shouted: "Alan, wake up, Alan, wake up!"
A familiar voice rang in his ears, Ji Linglan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.He was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and the guilt in his eyes was obvious.
Fu Nanling took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped Ji Linglan's sweat, and asked with concern: "Alan, you're having nightmares again."
Breathing calmly, Ji Linglan took the handkerchief from Fu Nanling's hand, and said with a wry smile: "I feel ashamed."
"Alan, you are too kind, such a temper will suffer sooner or later." This is the only place where Fu Nanling is worried about Ji Linglan.
"What's wrong with being nice to people?"
"It's not wrong to be kind to others, but you have to divide them. For bad guys and enemies, if you have kind thoughts for him, he may not accept your affection. In the end, you will be the one who gets hurt."
"'You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others', I just need to remember this sentence, and it is probably enough." Ji Linglan understands the survival rules of this world, but he really can't adapt to it for a while. Maybe it's because he hasn't had a bad time yet.
Fu Nanling sighed, Ji Linglan's personality is his most attractive feature, and it is also his exposed weakness, once caught, he will definitely suffer.
"You're hungry. I've asked someone to make some food. If you're still tired, eat before going to sleep."
"A Ling, don't be too busy, take a rest quickly, your complexion is very bad." Ji Linglan looked at him worriedly.
Fu Nanling said with a smile: "Okay, then Ah Lan will accompany me to eat something, and then accompany me to rest."
"A Ling Mo Nao. The emperor is here too. If you are so reckless, if it reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid I will lose my head. Although life is difficult, I will not give it up!
"Alan, don't worry, father has returned to Beijing, and should have left Ningcheng by now."
"Back to Beijing? Why? The matter in Liaoyuan is not over yet..." Ji Linglan suddenly had an epiphany as she spoke, and said: "The emperor is afraid that Zhang Hanchen will collude with Sun Yi. If news of him in Ningcheng is spread, maybe They will jump over the wall in a hurry, which is not good for the emperor?"
"Alan is smart." Fu Nanling praised without hesitation, and said, "Father is my backer. As long as he is around, Zhang Hanchen dare not touch me unless death is imminent. Now he doesn't know what I want. He became suspicious, even if he was unwilling, he would accompany me to perform this scene well."
"But your body...isn't your majesty worried about how it will work if you continue to work so hard?"
Hearing Ji Linglan's undisguised worry, Fu Nanling raised the corners of his mouth again and again, and said with a smile: "Isn't there Alan here? At worst, I will act as the background board in the future and leave everything to Alan. How about it?" ?”
Looking at Fu Nanling's appearance of a dog pleasing his master, he couldn't help but said amusedly: "I don't know who said before that I won't let me take care of the future, but now they say that I will leave the future to me. Ideas change a little bit really quickly."
"Hey, it's because my dilapidated body is really not up to the mark, so I can only rely on our family, Alan." Fu Nanling giggled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
"It's really nothing to do with you. I'm hungry, eat quickly, and take a good rest after eating."
The negative emotions surging in Ji Linglan's heart were disturbed by Fu Nanling, and they dissipated a lot unconsciously.When Ji Linglan regained consciousness, she realized his intention, and couldn't help being moved.
After a brief wash, Ji Linglan had dinner with Fu Nanling, and then lay down on the bed to rest. Because she had slept before and had something on her mind, Ji Linglan lay on the bed for a long time without falling asleep.Fu Nanling beside him was breathing very lightly, curled up sideways on the bed, his fingers tightly clutching his sleeves, this was an obviously insecure sleeping position.It was not the first time that the two slept together. Although Fu Nanling was pestering, he never had physical contact with him, at most he grabbed his sleeve. This was the reason why he could tolerate Fu Nanling sleeping beside him.
Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling fascinated, the same eyebrows, but two completely different sides, one side is a cute and coquettish rabbit, the other side is a cunning and fierce fox, it seems that every side is him, and every side is like him. With his disguise on one side, Ji Linglan couldn't see through him.
In a trance, a picture appeared in my mind, a handsome man wearing a robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes under the beaded curtain of the crown, sitting on a dragon chair, looking indifferently ahead.
Ji Linglan was stunned, and looked at Fu Nanling next to him again. He would not admit that those eyes were Fu Nanling's eyes, but the indifference in his eyes made Ji Linglan inexplicably feel heartache, and the more he looked back, The more the mantle hurts.
Ji Linglan clutched his chest. This feeling had appeared in his dreams before. He really had no idea why it happened.
"Could it be that I still have the ability to predict?" Ji Linglan couldn't help muttering in her heart, "But why should my heart ache when A Ling sits on the throne?"
Ji Linglan, who was puzzled, gave up, not to worry about her brain cells, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, and now the random thoughts seem to be of no use except to increase her psychological burden.
Hu Siluan and Ji Linglan unconsciously fell asleep, but Fu Nanling who was sleeping next to him opened his eyes, leaned towards Ji Linglan, hugged his arm, and closed his eyes again. Eye.
The two of them slept until the evening. At Ji Linglan's insistence, the two went to Gao Jin's mansion together on the condition that Ji Linglan had to sit in a wheelchair.
Ji Linglan said dumbfoundedly: "A Ling, my foot is just a flesh wound, is it an exaggeration to use a wheelchair?"
"If Ah Lan doesn't care, then I can go with Ah Lan in my arms."
Just such a sentence made Ji Linglan sit up obediently. The princess hugged him last time because he was worried about Fu Nanling's body. At that time, he didn't feel much. The man was hugged by a 35-year-old princess...
The picture in his mind was automatically substituted into the original body, Ji Linglan closed his eyes, the picture was so beautiful, he felt that his eyes were going to be swollen.
Ji Linglan was pushed all the way by Fu Nanling to the main hall of the Gao Mansion, and originally planned to go to the dungeon, but was stopped by Fu Nanling because of his blood and his body couldn't stand it.Ji Linglan was already smart, so she naturally understood the meaning of Fu Nanling's words. Although it was unacceptable for her to accuse her of poverty, she didn't say much.
Xiao Lizi made tea for the two of them, then stepped aside and stood with Xiao Linzi.
After a while, Gauss came in from the door, bowed and said: "Master, I have brought you here."
"Bring them in."
Gauss responded, retreated to the door, and said loudly, "Come in."
As his words fell, five people came in at the door. On both sides were the eagle guards who were escorting the prisoners, and in the middle were three women. Dirty, walking weakly, it is obvious that he has just been tortured.
"Kneel down!" The eagle guards on both sides pushed the three of them.
The three fell to their knees without any struggle.
After saluting, the two eagle guards stepped aside, one left and one right, in a protective posture.
Fu Nanling asked lightly: "Which one is Mrs. Gao?"
The middle-aged woman kneeling in the middle raised her head, looked directly at Fu Nanling, and said, "I am."
Without further ado, Xiao Lizi stepped forward with a slap across the face and said, "Presumptuous! If you dare to look directly at your lord, you know you have committed a capital crime!"
The woman was knocked to the ground, but slowly straightened up, looked at Xiao Lizi with a sneer, and said, "Even if I treat him with respect, can I still live?"
Fu Nanling waved his hand, and Xiao Lizi bowed and retreated.
"It seems that Mrs. Gao is not ignorant of what Mr. Gao has done."
The sneer on Mrs. Gao's face froze, then she lowered her gaze and remained silent.
"Master Gao corrupted the law by corrupting the law and assassinating his colleagues. This is his own crime, at most it involves his family members. It's just that plotting rebellion is a serious crime against the nine tribes of Yi. These nine tribes not only belong to the Gao family, but also include Mrs. Gao's natal family. "
Fu Nanling's tone of voice was very peaceful, but the words he said had a strong smell of blood, which made people shudder. Ji Linglan, who was listening, also frowned subconsciously.
Madam Gao looked up at Fu Nanling, her original calm was gone, her eyes were full of fear.
"My lord, it is true that your husband is corrupt and perverting the law, and it is true that you assassinated your colleagues, but this attempt to rebel is a nonsense. I hope that your lord will see clearly and don't listen to the villain's framing."
Fu Nanling raised his eyebrows, and said, "Small man? Who is the villain in Mrs. Gao's mouth?"
With a few simple sentences, the unruly Mrs. Gao was handled, and Ji Linglan once again marveled at Fu Nanling's mind.
Mrs. Gao was stunned, with a moment of hesitation on her face, and then she said: "Of course it is Li Tai. He hated her husband for killing Liu Ji and Li Heng, and also made an alliance with him to death, so he framed her husband for plotting rebellion. I hope you will see clearly. Take him at his word."
"Madam Li's words are reasonable." Fu Nanling nodded and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Gao's plan to rebel is not what Mr. Li said."
"No?" Mrs. Gao's eyes flickered, and she seemed to be disturbed and said: "My lord, no matter who framed your husband, it is all nonsense. I hope your lord will find out."
"I would like to believe Mrs. Gao, but the emperor is hard to say. After all, one side is a criminal who has committed a felony, and the other is a high-ranking loyal minister. I believe Mrs. Gao should know who to trust."
Ji Linglan secretly smiled inwardly, Fu Nanling made it clear that he led Mrs. Gao's suspicion to Zhang Hanchen, and he was the Shengmyian site's twisted sword to induce Mrs. Gao to tell the unknown secret about Zhang Hanchen.It's just that he didn't understand why Fu Nanling didn't ask Gao Jin directly. After all, it was Zhang Hanchen who moved him. Logically speaking, Gao Jin should hate Zhang Hanchen even more.
An anxious look appeared in Mrs. Gao's eyes, and she said, "My lord, you must not be fooled by that traitor Zhang Hanchen, he is not a good guy."
Fu Nanling looked at Mrs. Gao with interest, and said, "Oh? How do you say that?"
"The reason why Zhang Hanchen doesn't collude with her husband is not because of his noble character, but because he has an old grudge with her husband."
"Grudges? I always like to listen to stories. Madam Gao might as well tell you in detail."
"My lord, the offender knows that she is guilty, so she dare not ask for forgiveness. I only hope that the lord can save the offender's life. He is only two years old, and he doesn't know about his affairs. He will definitely not do anything that will hinder the adults and the court. The woman's request, the criminal woman will know everything and say everything."
"Mrs. Gao is talking about conditions with me?" Fu Nanling's tone was still very light, but his displeasure could be heard.
"Women don't dare!" Mrs. Gao prostrated herself on the ground.
Fu Nanling looked at Mrs. Gao silently. No sound could be heard in the room. Ji Linglan only felt that the atmosphere was a bit oppressive. The other two who just knelt on the ground with their heads down also instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling quietly. Although he couldn't bear it and wanted to help that innocent child, he also knew that now was not the time to interrupt.
"Okay, if Mrs. Gao says it's worth more than a life, then I will accept it."
Mrs. Gao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said happily, "Thank you, my lord!"
Seeing this, the two women around seemed to see hope, and they all said, "Master, please forgive our children, and please forgive our children!"
Seeing that Fu Nanling frowned slightly, Xiao Lizi immediately said: "Presumptuous! If you make any more noise, you will be punished!"
The two women were so frightened that they shrank subconsciously, but they were unwilling to give up this opportunity.Kneeling on Mrs. Gao's left side, the woman with pretty eyes begged: "My lord, the prisoner is Gao Jin's concubine and knows a lot of his secrets. The prisoner is willing to say anything, and I just beg my lord to spare my daughter's life." .”
Another woman also spoke, "My lord, the prisoner also knows, please forgive my daughter."
Fu Nanling looked at the women in the hall, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and said: "Whether you can keep your children depends on whether the information you provide is valuable. Let Madam Gao speak first. "
"Yes, my lord." Mrs. Gao paused, and then said: "Gao Jin and Zhang Hanchen were originally from the same hometown, and their former residences were in Lingcheng, Liaoguang. The Zhang family and the Gao family were family friends, and they both had prestige in Lingcheng. In a powerful family, all grievances are caused by a woman."
"Woman? What kind of woman can make the two great families have a feud?"
"My lord, the woman's name is Ruyan. She was originally the daughter of a farmer in Changliu Village on the outskirts of Lingcheng. By chance, Gao Jin and Zhang Hanchen traveled together and met Ruyan who went up the mountain to pick tea. Both of them fell in love with Ruyan at first sight. , made up my mind to marry Ruyan in."
Madam Gao lowered her head, everyone couldn't see her expression clearly, but they didn't disturb her.
After a pause, Mrs. Gao continued: "They told the family about their intentions, but they were opposed by the elders in the family. Although Ruyan was innocent, but her status was low and her family was poor. After all, it was not the right family, let alone the Zhang family at that time. I have a marriage contract with the Gao family."
