Qingchuan History

Chapter 692

Gu Xinglang got up immediately, which was the fastest time he had recently.

"Have you eaten?" Obviously not, she asked this because she felt the need to ask before he left.

Gu Xinglang hesitated for a moment.

Ruan Xueyin knew something was wrong.

"Empress Dowager Bai,"

He didn't even finish. "By whom?" Ruan Xueyin understood immediately, her heart sank.

Gu Xinglang shook his head.It was not written in the explanation letter.There are two possible reasons for not writing: the messenger concealed the report, or the killer in the chaos was indeed unseen and impossible to confirm.

The former is almost impossible, no one dares to lie to Qi Jun about the military situation.

"I don't know if Xirun has received any news. It stands to reason,"

"It stands to reason that he won't be faster than me." Gu Xinglang is good at handling all situations that don't require emotional ties, but fundamentally, he doesn't like dealing with children's affection other than Ruan Xueyin.So much so that the fact that Duan Xirun was waiting for the Mingluan Hall weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder, and he didn't know whether to hope that she knew it and come to cry and question him, or whether he should hope that she didn't know and let himself tell.

All bad.

"Normally," Ruan Xueyin controlled her thoughts, "of course they are rebels." She looked up at Gu Xinglang, hoping to get a positive answer.

But disappointed. "It's hard to say." He replied.

She was well aware of another possibility, the situation in the hall the night before, the ministers and workers admonishing them all night, and the emperor's civil and military vows to seize this opportunity were too strong—strong enough to secretly defy the emperor's order.

She knew very well that what she said just now was just Chen's wish.

"If it is," Gu Xinglang thought about it, but wanted to hear her judgement, "Who do you think is suspicious."

Ruan Xueyin thought about it.Even though she was pregnant and didn't sleep well, after the night before, it should be said that Duan Xirun came, she unconsciously judged according to the situation.

"Among the courtiers, Xiangguo is the only one who has the courage, ability and affordability."

The inkstone had retreated, and there were only the two of them in the hall. She still kept her voice extremely low, "General Chai also has the courage and ability, but whether he will do such a thing, you have better judgment than me. From my opinion, no. And Xiangguo, Jing Tingge mentioned to me more than once in the few months since his return home that he has far-sighted eyes, and what he sees and hopes for is more important than these means."

"It won't be Ji Huan." Gu Xinglang agreed, "Of course the courtiers have this idea, and even twisted together to ask the Prime Minister to make a decision. Ji Huan will prevent them from going back."

He and Ruan Xueyin looked at each other, and both of them understood the reason.If the hidden driving force behind the changes in Qingchuan's situation lies in the planning of the predecessors, and Ji Huan is likely to be one of them, then he will not make such a temporary decision that would obviously lead to chaos.

"If you're not a courtier, you can only be a clan." Ruan Xueyin lowered her eyes and wanted to raise her chopsticks, but she lost her appetite.

Not everyone can afford the clan.King Ning sits in Qi Nan, so he is the most suspicious, but—"I'll go first." Gu Xinglang said lightly.

She hesitated a little, "Do you need me?"

He lightly shook her hand across the round table, "rest at home, don't worry about it."

"Gu Xinglang,"

He just turned around, and then turned back.

"Several sisters of Xirun are also possible."

He knew that this sentence was not only a guess but also a hint—a hint about countermeasures.If the culprit is neither the rebels nor the Qi army, they will always take advantage of the chaos to kill people. If one of the princesses covets the throne, this is an opportunity.

You can be so skeptical.It can also be used to divert Duan Xirun's suspicion of Qi Jun when necessary.If Qi Guo's dark hands haven't been mad enough to resist the Holy Will.

Gu Xinglang nodded and forced a smile at her.

Ruan Xueyin watched him leave, and suddenly felt that the situation in the past three years has changed too fast - it should be more obvious that what happened in ten years, from Yin to Bai, how could it be so absurd, and the country is in danger of being destroyed one after another.

Bai Guo's fate should not be exhausted, not this time.She knew in her heart that the astrology had hints, but after all, she was not sure, and she was sweating for Gu Xinglang.

Duan Xirun's complexion was not good.

Gu Xinglang felt a low pressure when he stepped into the Mingluan Hall.

He asked her to sit down with a calm expression and tone.

"I don't know" was hesitant on her face.

Gu Xinglang drank half a sip of tea to adjust his breath to the most stable. "There was a scuffle in the imperial palace, and the Kuntai Palace also had a disorderly army break in."

Duan Xirun's expression changed instantly.

"Xi Run, mourning."

Duan Xirun trembled like chaff sifting through an ice cellar. "Say it again."

Gu Xinglang remained silent.

"Didn't you tell me in the letter that nothing would go wrong." She leaned on the edge of the table and stood abruptly, her voice trembling.Jing Tingge taught her various countermeasures, but she didn't expect that the first sentence was the bad news of her mother.

"It's safe, it's your throne and your country." Gu Xinglang closed his eyes for a moment, "Of course, if nothing happens, your mother will be fine. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry to me! I've heard enough of you sorry!"

The man at the door did not expect that the lady would suddenly shout.Without calling the palace staff, he closed the large doors of Mingluan Palace one by one, and then withdrew, and ordered all the unrelated people to stand far away, only facing Shen Ji solemnly.

"Who, who killed the queen mother! King Rong, King Zhuang, Duke Hua, who!"

"Xi Run, calm down—"

"I can't calm down! Yes, if I don't come, [-]% of the chances are that I will die at this moment, but I will end up with the queen mother. After all, they are well prepared and evenly matched with me! I also want to thank you for inviting me to Jidu. My life, I thank Ruan Xueyin, who pushed me to sit on the throne that I can't sit at all, and forced me to find a bright future for me! I thank you! For the sake of your lifetime, we are all ruined! And I because of this throne , this throne that has been sitting for less than a year has finally killed my mother!"

Every word never crossed her mind.And after all these words came out, both she and Gu Xinglang realized that the phoenix-robed lady's ambitions that come and go, rise and fall, are always just self-deception.She has always been, until now, only Duan Xirun in Cailu Palace.

It is not easy to change people's mind and aspirations.Just like Jing Tingge has been clearly shaken but still lacks that light, that light that completely broke through her 20-year belief, persuaded her to stay and never return to Cangwu.

Gu Xinglang is very sure that if Duan Xirun can survive this battle, the road ahead will be very different.

This moment is her light.

But as Qi Jun, he shouldn't encourage this light.

He was silent for a long time.

The coldness and silence in the empty hall made Duan Xirun regain some sense.Her face was ashen, but she didn't shed any tears. She looked at Gu Xinglang absent-mindedly, "Who did it?"

"I don't know yet."

"Qi's army of [-] and our Bai Kingdom's elite imperial army, why can't they defend the city gate?"

"I don't know yet, I have to ask Xiao Ben for details."

We have to wait for the next wave of news about the current situation at the other end of Yunshui, but Gu Xinglang has already sent an order on the way to Mingluan Hall, and he will return to the country with heavy troops to protect the queen.

"Clean up, we'll leave right away."

Duan Xirun didn't understand and looked at him blankly.

"You have to go back as soon as possible. The king, the culprit who killed your mother, should you want to save, investigate, punish, and revenge, go back and sit down before you can continue. I will personally send you to the border."
