Queen Flower - Chapter 183

Jiang Lan and Xia Henqiu were called into the palace.

There was a slight smile on Sima Jin’s face, “The two Ai Qing have worked hard and made a lot of work, and this matter has been done well.” Although the words were made by two people, the emperor’s eyes went beyond Xia Henqiu and looked straight at Jiang Lan. . In fact, most of the things have already been said in the early court, but Jiang Lan is of low rank and has no chance to go to court.

Jiang Lan lowered her head slightly, respectfully and politely, turning a blind eye to Sima Jin’s gaze, with Xia Xiang around, she didn’t need to come forward, so she could hide behind her without saying a word.

Xia Henqiu stepped forward and said: “Most of the people in this incident have been dealt with, and the only remaining general is Yan Zhan, who has been locked in Dali Temple.”

Sima Jin’s long eyebrows stretched out, “Yan Zhan is a man who has made great achievements in battles, but what role did he play in this matter?”

“Reporting to the emperor, although Yan Zhan is arrogant and inhumane because of his military exploits, he is really innocent in this matter, and he has been stationed in the frontier for many years, so he should have no close contacts with Yan Fu.” Xia Henqiu said.

Seeing Jiang Lan’s approval, Sima Jin said, “If it is as Xia Xiang said, then what should Yan Zhan do?” He turned to Jiang Lan, “What does Jiang Aiqing think?”

Jiang Lan hurriedly replied, “I have a low status and dare not speak rashly. Although General Yan has credit, it is also a fact that his brother rebelled. The emperor should deal with it strictly and set an example. It’s just that the emperor is a kind and wise monarch, so he will naturally give him one. justice.”

The corner of Sima Jin’s mouth showed a smile, “Although Yan Zhan is the general of Zhennan, but Yan Fu conspired against the law, he is involved in the nine clans, I am grateful to him for fighting for the country, and I am sincerely grateful. In order to recruit him as a concubine, I have decided to complete this pair of lovers.” He carefully observed Jiang Lan’s expression as he spoke. Don’t miss the slightest change in her.

Jiang Lan’s heart is like a river and a sea, do you want Princess Yan Zhanshang? This might be a good plan to save him. Although he lost his military power, the second half of his life is a comfortable life. Compared with his military and military career, the leisurely days of wealth, honor and prosperity are actually better, not to mention that Sima Rong has a crush on Yan Zhan. For a long time, she will not live up to him, but why is she in her heart. Will there be so little unwillingness? She laughed at herself silently, Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan, you are too greedy. Do things neatly, don’t be sloppy.

There was determination on her face, and this determination pleased Sima Jin. With a calm demeanor, he said sternly, “Let Jiang Aiqing handle this matter, and the imperial decree will come later. This can be considered one of his good fortune.”

He waved them off.

The two left the palace and went straight to Dali Temple, where they had to convince Yan Zhan before the imperial decree was promulgated.

Although Jiang Lan made up his mind, he was still a little depressed, and this look would inevitably appear on his face, Xia Henqiu watched her words. How could he not see it, he couldn’t help asking: “You can’t bear him?”

“No.” Jiang Lan immediately denied, “It’s just…” It’s just something. She couldn’t say it herself, she just felt that the world was unpredictable, and she just felt a little regretful and melancholy.

Xia Henqiu said nothing, in all fairness, now this ending is very satisfying to him. As long as Yan Zhan accepts the marriage, his life is guaranteed. Anyway, there is no need to think about the military power. After this incident, Sima Jin will never trust him again. In the future, it is the best ending to be a rich, noble and idle person for a lifetime. As long as you don’t make any big mistakes, this life will be over. . Moreover, once he married the eldest princess, he would have nothing to do with Jiang Lan again. No matter what happened to them before, it would be a passing dream and a flashy dream. After this matter is over, he will accompany her to find the queen flower and the way back to Zunguo, even if he can’t find it in his entire life, he is by her side, and they will have a happy future. Of course, now the matter of Yan Zhan must be resolved first, and a way to deal with Sima Jin must be found before he can retire.

When the two arrived at Dali Temple, Xia Xiang and Jiang Lan were the ones who dealt with the matter directly and entered the cell without approval.

Jiang Lan walked into the prison of Dali Temple, and sighed in her heart that she had an indissoluble bond with the prison, and she had come here for a visit from the local to the center.

Yan Zhan was on death row, and he was arrested for the crime of implicated. Without the emperor’s instructions, he could only stay in prison. For many days, except for Xia Henqiu that time, no one has come to see him. First, in order to avoid suspicion, and secondly, in order to prevent false confessions from Dali Temple, it is not allowed.

Jiang Lan stood in front of the thick iron railing, holding the iron railing and looking at the people inside.

The armor on Yan Zhan’s body was gone, replaced by a gray prison uniform. The prison uniform was very short and barely hung on his body. Showing sturdy arms and calves, it looks very weird, like an adult stealing a child’s clothes.

He looked calm, sitting in the corner without saying a word, with his head slightly bowed, his hair a bit messy and draped over his shoulders. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw Jiang Lan standing outside the iron fence at a glance.

Yan Zhan’s face was a little pale, his lips were chapped, there was no blood, and his dark gray eyes were indifferent. He slowly stood up and walked towards Jiang Lan with heavy and powerful steps, as if he was not in a prison, but on the battlefield.

He didn’t care about Xia Henqiu who was behind Jiang Lan at all, he just stretched out his hand and tightly held Jiang Lan’s small hand on the iron fence. The big bronze hand wrapped around the white and delicate little hand, which was extremely dazzling in Xia Henqiu’s eyes. .

The jailer immediately picked up the key and opened the door of the cell. Xia Henqiu went straight in, and when he looked back, he saw that Yan Zhan was still holding Jiang Lan’s hand, and coughed, “General Yan, I have something to talk to you about.”

Yan Zhan turned a deaf ear and looked at Jiang Lan’s face greedily and carefully. He didn’t even have time to wait for her to walk in. He hadn’t seen her for many days. Ever since he left her home that night and returned to the camp in the western suburbs, He lost news of her until Xia Henqiu accidentally told him that she was seriously injured. He hated Yan Fu, but he had a different intention to assassinate the emperor and treason, implicated the nine clans of the Yan family, implicated the death of his adoptive father and adoptive mother, implicated him Yan Zhan, and even injured Jiang Lan, almost killing her. Their strict family has been loyal and good all their lives, but now it ends like this. In fact, he is not afraid of death, but he can’t let go of her. He finally found her, and he finally got her. He is not reconciled.

Jiang Lan also looked at him from head to toe, and seeing that although he was haggard, he was not tortured by any punishment, and he felt a lot more at ease. “Let go of me first, let’s go in and talk.” Jiang Lan saw his gentle eyes swirling around him, and he didn’t want to leave for a moment. Thinking of what he was going to say to him in a while, his heart ached slightly.

Yan Zhan finally let go of her hand and turned to salute Xia Henqiu.

Jiang Lan walked into the cell and walked towards them.

When she approached, Yan Zhan suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her. He buried his head in her neck, breathed in her breath, felt her body temperature, maybe he would never be able to approach her again in this life, maybe This is the last time he will hug her in this life, so he doesn’t care what the occasion is now, or how Xia Henqiu sees him, he doesn’t care about anything. If there is today or tomorrow, he has a hunch that Sima Jin will not let him go.

Jiang Lan didn’t resist, let him hug him tightly, and take it as the last goodbye.

Xia Henqiu’s face was ashen, and he forced them to separate, “What are you all like, you are all officials of the imperial court, and you are pulling and pulling.”

Xia Henqiu’s hand brought internal strength, and there was a vigorous force pouring into Yan Zhan’s body.

Yan Zhan was slightly startled, and hurriedly used his inner strength to resist. In order to prevent Jiang Lan from being hurt, he immediately released his hand and stayed away from her.

As soon as the two separated, Xia Henqiu withdrew her internal strength, her face softened, and she pulled Jiang Lan and said, “Don’t linger, hurry up and do business, the emperor’s will will come soon.”

Really can’t be dawdling, life is at stake.

Jiang Lan bit her lip and summoned her courage to say, “Yan Zhan, listen to me, this time you must listen to me.” She took a deep breath, “The emperor spares you the death penalty, and will give you and the eldest princess. Marriage.”

Yan Zhan stood there, his face tensed and his eyes tightened. He stared at Jiang Lan, his eyes were like rocks rolling down from a volcano, hot and hot, red like fire, as if blood was about to flow out. For a long time, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, and said in a low voice, “What do you mean?” His voice was hoarse and dark.

“I mean, good.” Jiang Lan was ruthless, and if he kept breaking, the harm would be endless.

Yan Zhan raised his head sharply and smashed his fist into the stone wall. Countless tiny stones and dust fell on the wall, and fell on his loose hair, like a layer of frost. His knuckles were shattered, and blood dripped down drop by drop, falling to the ground like plum blossoms.

The loud noise attracted the jailers, and they flocked to them, saying that Yan Zhan was extremely powerful. Could it be that he wanted to escape from prison? Xia Henqiu shook his head, and the jailer backed out when he saw that there was nothing unusual.

Yan Zhan put one hand on the wall, his hair covered his face, “I don’t want to,” his voice was low but firm, “I don’t want to.” He looked back at her.

He walked slowly to Jiang Lan’s side and held her hand in his palm, “We’re married, I won’t marry anyone except you.” He put her hand on his face, “I only like you. “

Jiang Lan said clearly how she felt, but she felt something gushing out of her heart, she couldn’t help but withdraw her hand, “Yan Zhan, wake up, there is nothing in the world that is more important than your own life. You say You like me, what do you like about me, what do I have to make you like, isn’t it this face? Besides this face, there is nothing else you can’t forget. I destroyed it, I destroyed it.”

Jiang Lan picked up the gravel on the ground and scratched it on his face. It wasn’t his own face in the first place, so it would save trouble, lest someone always keep thinking about it and cause trouble.
