Chapter 238 238: Zuorong’s design to seduce Ruanruan
Murong Wan sent Zuo Rong to Xiliang this time. He was fully prepared and secretly brought a lot of troops.
Beihe's army could not enter the Western Liang Emperor's capital, so they were guarding a few miles away, waiting for Zuorong's order.
Xiao Lan said: "Concubine Wen and the others can't move at all now. I guess their target this time is you. We must think of countermeasures and we can't just sit back and wait for death."
Murong Qingying's eyes flashed with cold light: "In that case, let's catch Zuorong and Murong Longyue in one fell swoop this time."
First he chopped off Murong Wan's right and left arms.
The next day, Wen Nianruan asked Qiubai to pay close attention to the movements in Yongming Palace. She was afraid that Zuo Rong would surprise him.
They would not stay in Xiliang for too long, and would definitely make a quick decision and return to Beihe as soon as they got the Dragon and Phoenix Order. Therefore, Wen Nianruan had been alert to the movements in Yongming Palace in the past two days.
When it was almost evening, Qiu Bai said: "Your Majesty, I have been observing Yongming Palace for almost a day, but I haven't seen any movement. I haven't even seen those people from Beihe coming out of the palace."
"Has no one come out all day?" Wen Nianruan had a bad premonition growing in his heart.
"Yes, I haven't seen anyone all day long, but there are still guards guarding the entrance to the palace."
Wen Nianruan's heart sank slightly, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Qiu Bai followed behind: "Empress, where are you going so late?"
"Yongming Palace."
"."
Arriving at the gate of Yongming Palace, Wen Nianruan looked at the guards guarding him and smiled calmly: "I would like to see the Crown Princess, please inform me."
The guard was expressionless: "I'm sorry, our princess is resting due to illness, so we can't see guests now."
Wen Nianruan narrowed his eyes and smiled, rubbing his hand hidden in his sleeve: "Then I will meet with Prime Minister Zuo. I have something to talk to her about."
"Prime Minister Zuo is busy and has no time to entertain Concubine Wen now. Please forgive me."
"In that case," Wen Nianruan sneered at the end of his eyes, his sleeves hanging down moved slightly, and a cold light shot out. Just as he was about to raise his hand, a big hand suddenly pressed out her wrist and quietly snatched the dagger from her hand.
.
Wen Nianruan turned around in shock and saw Yun Chenan standing next to her.
Looking at the few guards guarding the entrance of the palace, he smiled warmly: "I have been ordered by the emperor to come to the imperial concubine to discuss some important matters. I wonder if it is possible to see the imperial concubine? Or, I can accompany the prime minister and the imperial concubine.
"
"Well." The guard looked confused, "I'd better meet you another day, Master. The Crown Princess and Prime Minister Zuo are both free now."
"But I want to see you now."
Yun Chenan had a slight smile on his face, but his tone was somewhat harsh.
The guard also refused to give in: "I'm sorry, Sir, Prime Minister, I have orders, so I won't see anyone today."
Yun Chenan chuckled calmly: "In that case, I can only force my way through."
Several guards were alert for a moment and immediately drew their daggers. Yun Chenan threw the dagger in his hand and quickly slashed across the necks of several guards, all at once.
Before they had time to react, they all fell to the ground, with a blood line at their throats and blood flowing gurglingly.
Yun Chenan looked back at Wen Nianruan, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's better that I take action faster."
If she had just taken action, it would have been difficult to deal with these guards. After all, she was pregnant and still weak.
Wen Nianruan was amused: "You came quite in time."
"I knew you would be anxious, so I came over," and happened to meet her.
Wen Nianruan stepped forward to enter the palace, but Yun Chenan frowned and reminded: "There is probably no one in the palace anymore."
Wen Nianruan did not doubt his words because she also had a premonition that there was no one in the palace.
But she still had to go in to check, and Yun Chen was guarding her behind her.
The palace was deserted and quiet, indeed no one was there anymore.
Wen Nianruan said calmly: "Have they left already?"
Yun Chenan shook his head: "No, what they want is still with you and won't go away."
He probably has another plan.
Suddenly, an arrow shot over. Yun Chenan protected Wen Nianruan behind him, holding the flying arrow between his fingers, and there was a note on it.
Yun Chenan opened it and took a look, his eyebrows tightened.
Wen Nianruan was worried: "What's written on it?"
Yun Chenan held the note in his hand, turned his eyes and said softly to her: "Ruanruan, let me handle this matter. You go back and rest first."
Wen Nianruan shook his head: "Tell me first what is written on it."
Yun Chenan had no choice but to tell her: "Murong Qingying is in Zuo Rong's hands and asks you to go outside the city to exchange for the Dragon and Phoenix Order."
Since the other party has sent a message, it means that everything has been arranged, and they are just waiting for Ruanruan to take the bait.
How could he let her put herself in danger?
Wen Nianruan's expression changed. Yun Chenan saw her worry and gently held her face: "Ruanruan, leave it all to me, okay? I believe I can handle it well."
"I'll go with you. My sister is in their hands. I'm worried."
"But you went, and I was worried about you."
Yun Chen calmly stared at her, his brows furrowed slightly, feeling uneasy.
Wen Nianruan was stunned, and suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, I didn't care about your feelings."
She only worried about her sister, but forgot that Chen An would also worry about her.
She is no longer alone now. She has a child in her belly and a man who cares about her. She can't just think about herself, but also think about them.
Yun Chenan's eyes were lingering and he said warmly: "So, listen to me, okay?"
She nodded obediently: "Okay."
Yun Chenan chuckled lightly, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "Good boy, go back and have a good rest. Don't think about anything. Your task now is to take care of yourself and the child in your belly. When you wake up, I will definitely take care of the matter."
If you handle it well, your sister won't get hurt at all."
"Um."
Wen Nianruan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. With him around, he really felt at ease.
Yun Chenan will help her solve any problem, he just needs to put Wen Nianruan in his heart and pamper her.
Wen Nianruan handed him half of the Dragon and Phoenix Order: "This is what Zuo Rong wants most. Don't let it fall into her hands."
"Don't worry, I will protect Murong Qingying and Longfeng Ling for you."
Wen Nianruan returned to Fuhua Palace, and Yun Chenan went to find Xiao Jinran first. This matter must not be hidden from him.
After he had negotiated with Xiao Jinran and just left the palace, Xiao Yihan followed him and said in a hasty tone: "Yun Chenan, I'll go with you."
Yun Chenan looked back: "The emperor's will?"
"No, I volunteered."
Yun Chenan raised her eyebrows and stared at him. Xiao Yihan looked a little cold: "It's not because of Concubine Wen. I owe Murong Qingying."
As long as it wasn't because of Wen Nianruan, Yun Chenan wouldn't bother to care so much. As for what he owed Murong Qingying, he didn't care.
When they arrived outside the city, they were surrounded by Beihe troops guarding the area. Wen Nianruan was asked to come outside the city to meet him because Beihe troops could not enter the city gate.
And outside the city, Zuorong's side has a greater chance of winning.
Zuo Rong held a knife on Murong Qingying's neck. When she saw the two people coming from the city gate, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Where is Wen Nianruan?"
