The window grilles are heavy, the shade of the trees is low, and the morning light is weak. If it doesn't shine on you, it won't shine on you.
The jade inkstone is shallow, the rice paper is precious, and ten essays are written, and it is difficult to finish the sad song and it is difficult to leave.
Being with a green lantern means you are not alone. How can you die after being with your beloved for half your life?
After the funeral news came, Ran Jingru sealed off the main residence and refused to let anyone in. For two consecutive days, she never left the study, which was the place where Xia Muchao spent the most time during his lifetime.
Old people say that after a person dies, the ghost will return to the place he used to visit during his lifetime. Ran Jingru's eyes were bloodshot, her tears had dried, and she couldn't sleep. She was already sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep, fearing that the ghost of her unfaithful person would come to find her if she fell asleep.
However, after waiting for two days each in the bedroom and study, her husband's soul was still nowhere to be seen.
"My lord, why don't you come to me? Don't you miss me? How could you miss me? Can't you find your way home? You and I have been here for twenty years, how come you can't find your way home? Is it possible? , you were actually killed by the thieves without even leaving your soul behind?" The more Ran Jingru thought about it, the more she hated and resented her. Finally, she could no longer resist and fainted with a "bang".
... ...
Disaster. Xia Chengxuan only felt that there was nothing more difficult in the world than this.
"I will never fall, and I can't let Prince Jaw Mansion fall!" Xia Chengxuan gritted his teeth and swore secretly as he looked at his bedridden mother and his sister guarding the bed.
Anyone can see this kind of embarrassment in his eyes and face, painful and desolate embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, the old master and the old lady are here." Alai approached Xia Chengxuan and reported softly.
Ran Jingru is the legitimate daughter of Duke Ran Jieting of Xuan Kingdom. For hundreds of years, the Ran family has been a prominent family in the capital, not much worse than the Hu family. After the news of Xia Muchao's death reached the Xuanguo Duke's Palace, Ran Jieting and his wife rushed to the Prince's Palace immediately. Unexpectedly, they were blocked from the main residence by Ran Jingru, and they had not yet met their daughter.
In addition to Xia Muchao, those who were killed in Tianmen City were also the five masters of Qiu and Xiezhi, two personal soldiers of Lu Jianting and Zhou Xukuan, and three hundred soldiers of the Prince's Palace. This was almost half of the force of Prince Jia's Palace.
Apart from the few people in the house, Xia Chengxuan only had Baiweitang in his hands, which was the income from Xia Muchao's secret operations for many years and was left to him before leaving the capital. How can we deal with Xia Muyan with this small number of people?
?The palace has not been competing for the heir apparent in these years, but no one would check out Xia Muyan's details. Of course, he was able to frame and kill the three kings Ren, Zhi, and Wu within a month, so his power behind the scenes must be extremely powerful.
After the death of the three kings, the Chao Gang was in chaos, and the enemies in the four realms were eager to try. In order to stabilize the situation, Emperor Yonghua and King Duan were very likely to make King Wei the crown prince or even give way to him, even though he was the one who killed the three kings the most. One of the suspects.
This is the case in politics. Situation is greater than justice, and interests are greater than right and wrong. Obviously, Xia Muyan has always been underestimated by everyone. He is brave and resourceful, capable of bending and stretching, and dares to do what others dare not. He is the most suitable person to be the emperor of Great China.
"Time is running out!" Xia Chengxuan reminded himself over and over again, "I can only take revenge before he ascends the throne. I don't have much time left."
Not long after Alai finished reporting, a couple with white hair and fine clothes walked in.
"Grandpa, grandma." Xia Chengxuan came forward and called softly.
The old woman sat directly next to Xia Chengyi and held Ran Jingru's hand on the hospital bed.
"Grandma." Xia Chengyi called in a mosquito voice.
Mrs. Ran freed up a hand to caress Xia Chengyi's face, and sighed with a trembling voice: "Oh, poor children! You three poor children!" As she spoke, tears flowed down.
"Chengxuan, how is your mother?" Ran Jieting sighed and asked helplessly.
"Grandpa, you two elders, please relax. The imperial doctor and the doctors in the house have seen her. My mother is just weak and ill. She will be fine after a few days of treatment." Xia Chengxuan replied softly.
For the past four days, Ran Jingru had not eaten or drank, nor had she rested or slept. Her body was already extremely tired, and her heart was broken, so naturally she could not continue for long.
Ran Jieting glanced at the bed. Knowing that her daughter was fine, she felt relieved and called Xia Chengxuan, "Chengxuan, let's come out and talk."
Xia Chengxuan also happened to be looking for his grandfather, so he immediately went ahead and led Ran Jieting to the side hall.
... ...
Mei Yuanchen followed the group of black cavalry to where they settled, and drove them all the way to King Jia's Mansion. However, he was not familiar with the boundaries of the capital. Although the horses were moving fast, they took many detours, and they did not arrive before they arrived. The eighty-mile journey actually took more than an hour.
"Master Yuanchen, you just left, why are you back?" The stable manager saw Mei Yuanchen coming on horseback and hurriedly went up to him and took the reins for him.
"Do you know the prince is here?" Mei Yuanchen asked directly without answering him.
The steward of the stable did not think for a moment and responded: "Well, the lady fell ill. The old lady just came here not long ago. Now I want them to stay in the lady's room."
After receiving this accurate reward, Mei Yuanchen did not go out to look for it, but used Qinggong and Shenfa to go straight towards the main residence.
... ...
"Chengxuan, although your father is gone, you are still the king of the county. What are your plans for the future?" The two of them were not in the mood to drink tea, so they sat down and Ran Jieting asked directly.
The Xia Mu Dynasty was a prince, and according to the system, the title inherited by the prince's son was the county prince. Soon after, the Shangshu Mansion will issue an edict conferring the title of county prince on Xia Chengxuan, and the plaque at the gate "Prince's Mansion of Chi Zaoja" will be replaced with "Prince's Mansion of Chi Zaoja".
"Grandpa, I must avenge my father!" Xia Chengxuan replied firmly.
Ran Jieting sighed, shook his head and said, "Chengxuan, it's a good idea for you to have this intention. However, Zhao Qianming has surrendered to Shatuo, and it's not easy to avenge him!"
Not to mention that Dahua and Shatuo had just fought in Anxian, and now the two countries were temporarily hostile to each other. Zhao Qianming had 50,000 troops and was already a prince on Shatuo's side, thus blocking the way for Dahua's important people. .
"No matter how difficult it is, I must retaliate!" Xia Chengxuan said coldly, "I have asked Du You to check the roster of soldiers stationed in the northern camp, and also asked King Duan to arrest Zhao Qianming and the family members of the military attache stationed in the northern camp. Humph, I don’t believe that they escaped so fast and took all their families with them. If you take all the family members and capture them, I will ask someone to give them a message. If they still want to follow Zhao Qianming, I will wipe out all nine of their clans!"
Ran Jieting was a little stunned.
In his eyes, this grandson is still a child who is not very sensible, but he didn't expect that he had made such detailed arrangements.
"Zhao Qianming is just a pawn in the murder. I will never let go of the person behind the scenes!" Xia Chengxuan ignored his grandfather's surprise and continued.
"The person behind the scenes?" Ran Jieting frowned and asked, "Do you think there is someone behind the scenes? Who could it be?"
Could a first-grade Quartet general be someone else's chess piece? Ran Jieting didn't expect him to think so deeply.
"Xia Muyan is undoubtedly!" Xia Chengxuan said bitterly.
