"Master..." Li Wei vaguely guessed the meaning of Ling Ruo's words, and there was a lot of surprise in his words. Has she really made up her mind not to return to the palace?
"There are many nunneries on Wutai Mountain. I will choose one to practice in one, praying for the peace and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the people, and prosperity for all generations. I also pray for the health of the emperor and the health of the fourth elder brother."
After a long silence, Li Wei spoke up: "Since the master has made up his mind, I don't dare to persuade him anymore. It's just that I finally got the chance to see the master. I also ask the master for permission to stay here and serve the master for a few days."
Ling Ruo acquiesced to what he said, and after exiting the room, Liu Hu said with some annoyance: "Master Li, why didn't you help persuade the empress just now to let her come back to the palace with us?"
Li Wei patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Master Liu, the misunderstanding between the empress and the emperor seems to be solved, but in fact there is still a knot in her heart. This is not something we can solve. No amount of persuasion is useless."
"Then what should we do? Is it really up to the empress to become a monk in Mount Wutai?" Liu Hu asked with a bitter face.
"Of course not, the person who tied the bell needs to be untied." After saying this, Li Wei gritted his teeth and said: "I will immediately write a memorial and report the matter here to the emperor four hundred miles away. The matter of the empress will be left to the emperor.
Decide. As for us, all we can do now is to keep an eye on the empress before the Holy Will comes down and not let her leave again."
"Got it." Liu Hu nodded. At the moment, this was the only way.
Just as Li Wei handed over the written memorial to the post station four hundred miles away and rushed it to the capital, another group of people also came to Suzhou, which has the reputation of "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below"; but they could not come here.
It's not for traveling around the mountains and rivers, but to catch someone.
Suzhou is world-famous for its beautiful landscapes and elegant gardens, which make everyone who comes here forget to leave. When Emperor Kangxi built Changchun Garden and Old Summer Palace, many of them drew on the ancient waterside garden city features of Suzhou's small bridges and flowing water.
However, these people obviously had no interest in these beautiful landscapes, and went straight to a courtyard with three entrances in the west of the city. It was almost dusk, and the twilight shadows were heavy, shrouding this beautiful landscape.
As the knock on the door rang, a middle-aged woman came to answer the door. She poked half of her face behind the door and looked warily at the group of people in black clothes and black boots who came from nowhere, "Who are you looking for?"
The leading man in black glanced at her coldly, kicked open the half-open door, and walked in majestically.
"Come quickly, there are robbers! There are robbers!" The servant woman fell to the ground and shouted in panic. The man in black ignored her voice and continued to walk in alone.
Following the shouts of the servant women, many strong men with sticks in their hands ran out from inside. They were all good guards hired by the owner of the house with money. They stared at the man in black who was approaching step by step as if they were facing an enemy, and shouted
: "What do you want to do? If you don't want to die, stop immediately, otherwise don't blame me for waiting for you!"
The nursing staff scolded them for a long time but did not see those people stop. They could only grit their teeth, squeeze the sticks in their hands and rush forward. Although these people did not seem to be good people, they received the monthly money here and had to do something.
some things.
"Go away!" As soon as the nursing staff heard these two words that were filled with bone-chilling coldness, they felt their bodies fly up into the air, and then hit hard on the hard bluestone ground. They all grimaced in pain.
Howling and screaming.
"What happened?" A woman's voice came from inside the house. Apparently she heard the noise outside, so she lit a lamp and came out to check. When she saw the nursing home she hired at a high price lying on the ground, her expression suddenly changed.
It was extremely ugly. He stared at the group of men in black who almost blended into the night and said sternly: "Who are you and why do you want to break into my home?"
"By the order of my master, I invite Miss Yilan to return to the capital." The man in black said coldly such words that made the woman's whole body shiver.
This group of men in black are the dead soldiers sent by Yingge. The leader is Dark Falcon, one of the leaders of the Nala family's dead soldiers. They were ordered to come here to capture Yilan who is hiding here.
After the initial surprise, Yilan looked ashen. She didn't expect that she was found by these people despite being so careful in hiding. No need to ask, they must have been sent by the queen.
On that day, after she had a falling out with Lingzhu and his wife and left the capital, she had already thought that the queen might not let her go easily. Fifty thousand taels of silver was not a small sum of money, and even as the queen, Nala would be in trouble if she wanted to take it out.
Move bones.
Therefore, after she arrived in Suzhou, she immediately sold the house and the land at a price that was 30% cheaper than the market price, and then pretended to leave. In fact, she bought the Sanjin house where she now lives in an inconspicuous place in Suzhou as a residence.
place.
The most dangerous place is often the safest place. Once the queen traces it and discovers that she sold the house and fields, she will definitely think that she has left Suzhou with the money, and will never think that she is still hiding here.
Moreover, the money she is using now is all obtained from selling her house and land. The bank notes given by the Queen have not been touched at all, for fear that she may have tampered with the bank notes and her whereabouts will be revealed as soon as she goes to the bank account. However,
Despite all the calculations, he was still found.
In fact, Yilan's various calculations were not wrong, but she forgot the most important point: behind the queen, there was also the huge Nala clan. Regardless of their abilities and means, it was not difficult to investigate a person.
"Why are you taking me to the capital?" Yilan tried to calm herself down, but her body was still shaking and shaking. What should she do? What should she do? Can she escape? It would be better if she was alone, but now she...
Her hand unconsciously touched her abdomen. Although it was still very flat, a little life was growing vigorously. She had been married to the Li family for more than ten years and had no children. In the end, she was abandoned by the Li family for this reason.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the Li family, she found out that she was pregnant. The child she had been waiting for for less than ten years had already quietly entered her belly during that big commotion.
Maybe, this is God's will, God destined her to be separated from Li Yaoguang...
Although the child came at an untimely time, it did not stop Elaine from loving him. She planned to raise the child by herself after the child was born. She did not want these people to suddenly come to her door and disrupt her plan.
She had no other thoughts at the moment, she just hoped to save the child and not let him die in the womb.
"Take you to a family reunion." Dark Falcon replied coldly. As he finished speaking, two people immediately walked up to Yilan, one on the left and the other on the right, and pulled her out. Yilan couldn't help herself.
any resistance.
After Dark Falcon captured Yilan, he immediately returned to Beijing by water and then by land. Yilan was worried all the way, fearing when they would kill her.
