Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Chapter 107

Minghui's manpower was not abundant, most of the soldiers were arranged at the city gate to prepare for battle, naturally there were not many people left in the palace.

Ming Tan originally thought that there was still a battle to be fought, but when she led the troops to the palace, she was surprised to find that the palace gate was wide open, and there were several familiar imperial soldiers standing on both sides. Come, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly saluted: "See Princess Nine!"

"Huh?" Ming Tan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why do you..."

"Before I was useless to wait, I was detained by the rebels in the court prison, and I ask the princess to forgive me!" One of the forbidden soldiers lowered his head and said a little ashamedly.

Ming Tan didn't pay much attention to it.She pursed her lips, shook her head broadly, and said softly, "How can there be any crime? The King Gan raised his troops so suddenly that even I was not prepared. Of course, it cannot be blamed on you."

"Thank you, princess!" The guards looked at her gratefully, and then reported the current situation in the palace, "After noon today, King Qian brought many people guarding the court prison to the city gate to fight, Commander Lin took the opportunity to take The brothers escaped, entered the palace secretly, and have wiped out all the rebels!"

oops.

This kid Lin Xun is very promising!It will save her trouble!

Ming Tan tilted his head and looked at Lin Shurong with a smile, blinked his eyes, and said teasingly: "Ah Xun has made a great contribution this time."

"Then His Highness should give him a reward." Lin Shurong covered his lips and smiled, and suggested for his younger brother, "It would be best for those few military books in the library, he has been coveting for a long time."

"Reward, reward, reward!" Ming Tan narrowed his eyes with a smile, he was very happy with the pillow wind, and waved his hand like a fool, "You can reward a few books!"

After all, Lin Xun had also been a commander for many years, and he handled things very neatly. As expected, he had led the imperial army to completely settle the turmoil in the palace, making Ming Tan and his gang useless, and entered the palace smoothly. .

There are many concubines in the inner circle, and there is no danger, so Ming Tan decided to let Nie Sheng lead the frontier army to join Lin Xun, while he brought only a few guards and prepared to go to Guangyang Palace with Lin Shurong and Ming Yao. Go to meet Concubine Wan.

"No matter how you say it, she is also your mother." After giving the order, Ming Tan sighed, and patted Brother Wuhuang, who had been silent for a long time and seemed to be retreating, "Maybe this is the last side of this life, what can I say?" , it's better to say it as soon as possible, so as not to leave regrets for myself..."

"Okay. Thank you, Ninth Emperor Sister, for your persuasion."

Ming Yao showed a bleak smile, not only did not refuse, but also made a gesture of leading the way, and walked in front of Rong Tan and the others first.

Probably because of the battle between the forbidden army and the rebel army just now, the whole palace was very quiet, the doors of all the palaces were tightly closed, and the maids and eunuchs who usually came and went were gone. Even the crimson palace walls seemed to have lost their color. A lifeless look.

Ming Tan frowned unaccustomedly, squeezed Lin Shurong's hand under his sleeve, and whispered in her ear: "I'm a little worried about Ah Wei..."

"Her Royal Highness Seventh Princess has a noble status, and the rebels will not dare to take advantage of Rui Lanxuan." Lin Shurong turned his head, put his hands on Ming Tan's back, and comforted him softly, "Also, that person from Yide Palace will definitely help Your Majesty Jing, please rest assured."

Ming Tan sighed and nodded hesitantly.

Just like Ah Wei's meek temper, he would hide away even when setting off firecrackers, he must have been frightened by such a big battle...

However, during their short chatter, Ming Yao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, as if he had seen something surprising, his body froze in place visibly to the naked eye.Ming Tan at the back also stopped because of this, and was a little dazed by Brother Wuhuang's strange behavior. Just as he was about to poke his head out to have a look, he suddenly heard the latter's astonished voice——

"Ning, Concubine Ning?"

Hearing this completely unexpected address, Ming Tan was startled, and immediately took two steps forward, looking past Ming Yao, and sure enough, he saw a woman in white clothes with loose long hair standing There - it was Concubine Ning Zhuxi's voice.

At this moment, her appearance was simple, she didn't even wear a hairpin, and her complexion was slightly tired and vicissitudes, as if she was a ghost, standing alone on the only way to Guangyang Palace, staring at them quietly A group of people is simply creepy.

"—!"

Even a materialist fighter like Ming Tan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle at this moment, and was shocked by Concubine Ning's face.

Ever since Concubine Song and Wen Jieyu publicly exposed Concubine Ning's crime of murdering the emperor's heir at the annual banquet in the past, the latter was fined for life and confined in the Chongle Palace, and had disappeared for many years.

And her father, Zhu Zhishen, the former Minister of the Household Department, was also demoted and released for taking bribes, embezzling ink and disasters, etc., and he died soon after. After drawing a clear line, of course no one will help Concubine Ning step out of Chongle Palace—even the wedding of the fourth prince Mingxuan was handled by the empress and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she was not even given the qualification to be a bystander. mother concubine.

He will be grounded for life and cannot leave without calling.Even Ming Tan, who was poisoned and killed by Concubine Ning just after wearing it, and had a life-and-death enmity with the other party, has not been able to find a chance to meet this woman who has fallen to the extreme all these years, almost completely forgetting about her net.

But I never thought that I would meet him again under such circumstances.

Probably due to the turmoil in the palace today, Chongle Palace was unguarded, which allowed her to step out of the palace gate so openly...

"Wan An, Concubine Ning."

Ming Tan calmed down calmly, walked out from behind Ming Yao, and looked at the other party lightly, "It's been a long time since I saw you, I don't know how your mother is doing recently?"

"...Thanks to the Ninth Princess," Concubine Ning pulled the corners of her lips, her pale face was not covered with makeup, she was completely different from the woman in Mingtan's memory who was always dressed in jewels and emerald greens and was more beautiful than a peony. The two said, "I have always had a good life."

She seemed to be in a very poor state of mind, with an inexplicable sense of aging and decadence like the sun is fading away.Lin Shurong's eyes dimmed slightly, and he took a half step forward vigilantly, leaning next to Ming Tan in a protective gesture, and fixed his eyes on Concubine Ning, for fear that the latter would behave impulsively towards His Highness.

Concubine Ning stood in front of her with her arms crossed, and naturally had a panoramic view of Lin Shurong's actions.Fortunately, she didn't mind, she just sneered slightly, and even her voice was full of laziness, "Miss Lin is worrying too much, why should I be so nervous? My palace is almost exhausted right now. Could it be possible to eat the Nine Princesses?"

"Is the oil running out?"

Ming Tan frowned, stared at her expression, and said in astonishment: "Are you... sick? Didn't you call the imperial doctor to come to the palace to see it?"

"Ailments in this world can be cured after a few visits by a doctor?" Concubine Ning shook her head, looking at Ming Tan with deep hatred and emptiness, "Bye Thanks to you, this palace has long lost the wealth and splendor of the past, and now the family is ruined, and even the lifelong affairs of their own children are out of control—even if they continue to live on their last breaths, what's the point?" The corners of her lips curled into a sarcasm "Anyway, a bad life, dead is just wrapped in a straw mat, on the contrary, it is much cleaner than when alive!"

"..."

Ming Tan was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "You have a heart disease, you can only heal yourself, it's nothing more than too much to heal."

"Ha, it's fine if it can't be cured, and the left and right beggars don't bother to live on."

Concubine Ning waved her hands indifferently, and stared at Mingtan with her dark eyes. After a long time, she curled her lips and said slowly: "It's just...the only thing I want in this palace is now. I wonder if Princess Nine is willing to temporarily Forget about the previous quarrels and take the time to help each other?"

What do you want?

Ming Tan tightened his fingertips, a trace of thought flashed across his eyes, and he said slowly after a long while: "Ning Concubine, it's okay to say."

"Don't worry, I am a dying person, and his words are kind, and I will definitely not embarrass the ninth princess."

As if seeing Ming Tan's hesitation, Concubine Ning smiled lazily, raised her hand, took out a tightly wrapped thick letter from her sleeve, threw it to Ming Tan, and suddenly rushed to the latter He showed a beautiful smile.

"It contains all kinds of evidence that I, together with Shen Ruofu, poisoned the concubines' heirs in the palace." Concubine Ning folded her hands, her eyes were bright, and her face at this moment seemed to have regained her old style , can be called the harem of Yanguan, "Ming Tan. Today I am willing to hand over all these things to you, just to ask for a reward..."

She paused, and the smile on the corners of her lips widened, like a skin bag carefully selected by evil spirits, beautiful is beautiful, but it makes people feel frightened——

"I want you to send Shen Ruo to that woman," Zhu Xisheng said with a soft smile, "send him to hell to accompany me."

"..."

Even though Ming Tan had just witnessed the bloody battlefield with his own eyes, he didn't feel the chill that couldn't be ignored in his spine like now.

She squeezed the envelope that was thrown into her hand, and subconsciously leaned against Lin Shurong. It wasn't until she held the warm fingertips of the latter that she felt that she had regained her composure. She took a deep breath, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes. I promise you."

Imperial Concubine Wan had a vicious mind and was full of evil, and she was the murderer who killed Ming Yan with her own hands—even if Concubine Ning hadn't entrusted her, Ming Tan would still try her best to settle the accounts with her and let her pay for her elder brother's life.

It's just... Judging by Zhu Xisheng's appearance, he probably doesn't have much time left.

Ming Tan lowered his eyes, felt the weight of several pages of paper stacked in his hand, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It's really embarrassing.

While lamenting the impermanence of life, she recalled all kinds of karmic obstacles of Concubine Wan, and suddenly her thoughts paused slightly. She pursed her lips, looked at the satisfied Concubine Ning, and said again: "I have one more thing I want to ask. ask you."

"Finish." Concubine Ning looked in a good mood, and nodded briskly, "I will definitely say everything I know, and I can say everything."

"I want to know," Mingtan subconsciously clenched Lin Shurong's hand, as if wanting to draw strength from him, and finally said after a long while, "Whether my third brother's leg disease...was also caused by your Wanning Party? "

"—Third Prince's leg problem?"

Hearing this question, Concubine Ning was obviously a little stunned, and her slightly crazy expression was replaced by surprise, "This is not what we did."

"what?"

"After the death of the first crown prince, Your Majesty has taken good care of the emperor's heirs. We have never dared to take care of the older princes and princesses easily, let alone the third highness who is also the second son of the middle palace." Concubine Ning shook her head, He explained, "Besides, as far as I know, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Ruofu herself: she even came to me to gloat about my misfortune after the third prince's accident, and said directly, 'God will help Hui'er to achieve great success. '," she paused, then added objectively, "I'm deeply impressed by this matter, if it was really what she did, there's no need to act it out in front of me."

"..."

After listening to her words, Ming Tan was silent for a while, finally nodded, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

But Concubine Ning no longer looked at her at this moment, but turned around, humming a tune that was out of tune, and walked slowly towards the Chongle Palace.

"Baiye is less baht...the hell is long..."

Ming Tan listened for a while, but didn't know what to say, and turned his head to look at Lin Shurong in a daze, "Qingqing, what is she singing?"

"It's a drama written by Ye Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty, and the libretto in "Beimang Fafa." Lin Shurong was knowledgeable, and answered naturally, and said with lowered eyes, "In the play, there is a hungry ghost named Luo Weifei, who fell into hell after death and suffered boundless suffering. He Thinking that this was caused by the sins he committed during his lifetime, he hated it so much that he picked up wicker sticks on Beiman Mountain and beat his own corpse continuously... This drama is intended to eulogize the principle of reincarnation of cause and effect and self-retribution of retribution. Empress's state of mind at this moment has something to do with it."

"Oh, I see."

Ming Tan's mood was a bit complicated, he chewed the libretto secretly, but finally didn't say anything more, just sighed: "Let's go, go to Guangyang Palace."

Both Concubine Ning and Concubine Wan should make a break with Concubine Wan.
