Bing Lanyue's tears fell down like a pearl whose string had been cut off. She could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and started howling.
It had been a long time since he had cried like this.
When her ex-boyfriend left, she had never cried like this. She stubbornly held her head high.
Even if he was called Qing Gao by someone else, he had to leave behind his own pride.
Prince Yi's wedding, and also to Jun Ming Zhu. Monarch Moli left while enduring the pain.
"Yue Er, don't cry. Men are like this. They love you and protect you, but in the end, even the cinnabar on your forehead can't compare to his bright future. "Don't cry, don't cry. Grandmother is here." Matriarch wiped Bing Lanyue's tears away with her wrinkled hand.
Bing Lanyue dove head first into Matriarch's embrace, howling continuously.
"Sigh!" "The old woman knows that the child is suffering in his heart. How about you come back? It's not a long term plan even if you stay in the inn all day long." Matriarch gently patted Bing Lanyue's back.
The maid brought the dishes and left immediately.
Bing Lanyue smelled the fragrance of the food and immediately left Matriarch's embrace. She wiped away her tears and continued to eat crazily.
"Eh?" Matriarch felt embarrassed.
"Eat slower, eat slower." Matriarch continued to give food to Bing Lanyue, "Don't be in such a hurry, if you don't have enough to eat, I'll let the kitchen cook."
After wolfing down her food, Bing Lanyue burped and said, "The sky is big, so why not eat? Grandmother, you have to eat too."
Bing Lanyue said without care, and casually wiped the grease off the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.
Matriarch picked up his bowl, casually ate a little, put it down and said: "Child, you, ah."
After taking away the leftover soup, Bing Lanyue squinted her eyes and asked, "Grandmother, what do you think about the assassination attempt outside the city?"
Matriarch laughed bitterly: "Crow and the rest were sent by Imperial Concubine Yun. I never would have thought that my Bing Family was loyal to the core and would fall at a time when everyone was pushing us down."
Bing Lanyue frowned: "Grandmother, I have no relationship with Imperial Concubine Yun, why would she want to kill me?"
The first time she met Imperial Concubine Yun was at the Imperial Palace. Imperial Concubine Yun walked past her in a hustle and bustle, and the two of them did not even say a word.
Bing Lanyue thought of Prince Yi's reminder: To hide such a thing like a flying bird properly, a cunning rabbit would rather die than cook a meal.
"Emperor." Bing Lanyue smiled helplessly: "I didn't think that the weak and delicate emperor would actually have such a conspiracy today."
Matriarch sighed, "That's right, I didn't expect it either."
The Prince Yi's wedding, was to marry the daughter of the Yun Family, so she should be protecting herself, and today, Monarch Moli was rushed to the feudal fiefdom, so it shouldn't be long before the Emperor raises his butcher's blade and starts to clean it, right?
"Grandmother, you're either rebelling or you're at the mercy of others. I'm afraid there's no way to protect the Bing Family's wealth and prosperity, right?" Bing Lanyue pretended not to care, but she peeked at Matriarch's face from the corner of her eyes.
The Matriarch smiled thoughtfully. "That won't happen. The Bing Family has already handed over their military power. Whether it's Your Majesty or the empress dowager, they won't kill them all." At most, the Bing Family will lose their power and leave the court. "
Bing Lanyue curled her lips and said: "Alright, Grandmother, if it's really like this in the future, our granddaughter still has some Red Dust Inn, let's go do business."
Matriarch raised his head and looked outside. Seeing that there was no one around, he said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there might be a battle between the empress dowager and the emperor. We just need to sit and watch."
The empress dowager was Xuanyuan Jin's mother, how could they fight inside? Could it be that the empress dowager wanted to learn from the Empress Dowager and control the imperial government?
Bing Lanyue looked at Matriarch in shock and asked, "Grandmother, this is not a joke. The empress dowager is Xuanyuan Jin's mother."
Pausing, she asked with glowing eyes, as if she had discovered a new continent, "Could it be that Xuanyuan Jin is not the empress dowager's own son? To whom? "
Several black lines appeared on Matriarch's forehead, and he said: "What nonsense are you talking about? "If we were to talk about it outside, I'm afraid your head would have moved!"
Bing Lanyue stuck out her tongue: "Alright, Grandmother, your granddaughter is going to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
Bing Lanyue hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should I go to the secondary duke's fief?"
Matriarch stood up with a stern face, and said: "Granddaughter, if you have to take into account the grudges between the Bing Family and the Jun Family, there's no need for that. When the previous emperor was present, he needed our Bing Family to become his political enemy, and we became his enemy.
"What about now?" Bing Lanyue asked.
"Now, hur hur." The Matriarch laughed: "Aren't you still with Jun Fei in your heart? Granddaughter, there's no hope for the Bing Family. Bing Wen was killed by you, and the only one left is Bing Wu, the same as Bing Wen, the playboy. "
Bing Lanyue was shocked. She thought that her grandmother in front of her was about to fall out with her, but her eyes seemed to be … She was helpless.
"The Bing Family is finished. There's still you. If you still want to, go ahead and do it. If Madam Lin still has any tricks up her sleeve, you can kill her son along with her. " The Matriarch walked shakily towards the chair that was covered with black light.
"I, an old woman, can no longer control so much of the Bing clan." Matriarch leaned on his walking stick, tightly gripped his hand and said: "Go, and don't come back. Regardless of whether you stay in the capital or at Jun Fei's place, you must not come back.
There were many things that she did not know, but the meaning behind Matriarch's words today, was clearly: General's Estate, is over.
"Grandmother …" Bing Lanyue bowed respectfully, and said: "My granddaughter once said that she would do her best to protect all of my General's Estate."
After she finished speaking, Bing Lanyue walked out of the room. Outside the room, over a hundred people lined up in five neat rows.
Among these people, some were dressed in black, some in armor, and some in the attire of servants.
"This is …" Bing Lanyue turned her head and coincidentally saw the exhausted look in Matriarch's eyes.
"Dark Guard, these are all Dark Guard s of the General's Estate. Matriarch waved his hand weakly: "Go, treat them well."
Dark Guard.
Looking at the confused looks in their eyes, Bing Lanyue was very familiar with them. She had never been to this world before, and she was also very confused about their uncertain future.
"All of you should change into ordinary clothes and head to Red Dust Inn." Bing Lanyue knew that she had to expand her business. Otherwise, where would she get the money to care about the food and drinks of these people?
Bing Lanyue wanted to ask Matriarch why she had done this, but after thinking for a while, she decided to accept her kindness.
Didn't he already give Monarch Moli's manor to him? At most, he could just send some people there and see if they had any family members. There were hundreds of people. If there were family members, then there would be hundreds of people.
Bing Lanyue began to have a headache.
At first, she didn't have the strength to protect herself. She needed the protection of experts, but now, she was worried about the number of experts.
"First Miss, we've all changed." A person walked in front of Hu Yue and said, "Eldest Miss, should this subordinate protect you as you go to the inn, or …"
Bing Lanyue raised her head and realized that all of their clothes had been changed. Everyone on the ground had taken off their clothes, so the Dark Guard s were originally all wearing normal clothes.
"You two …" "No, let me think." Bing Lanyue suddenly thought back to what Ye Lang had said. Zhang Xu took the title of Patriarch and brought a few people to escort Monarch Moli out.
"You two, follow me out of the city." After Hu Yue finished speaking, she strode forward and walked out of the General's Estate, followed by the rest of the Dark Guard s behind her.
Inside the General's Estate, it looked like it was heavily guarded, but only Bing Lanyue knew that. Actually, if there was a strong enemy, the General's Estate was equivalent to not defending.
She never thought that after she left the General's Estate, she really did not return.
Not far away from the Southern City of the capital, there were two thousand cavalrymen ready to leave. Zhang Xu touched his military uniform from time to time, not daring to believe that all the soldiers behind him would listen to him.
In terms of formation, the right guard should have over a hundred thousand people, with ten captains of ten thousand. In terms of composition, the right guard should have over a hundred thousand men, with ten thousand men serving as captains of ten thousand.
This time, he brought two thousand cavalrymen with him to escort the Crown Prince back to his own territory, feeling quite pleased with himself.
A cavalryman holding a yellow flag dashed over, nimbly dismounted from his horse and said, "Captain, receive the decree."
What? There was an imperial edict? Could it be that the emperor had reneged on his promise?
Zhang Xu anxiously dismounted, and when his subordinates heard the imperial edict, they all dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"The secret decree, the Captain will see for himself." The rider took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom and placed it in Zhang Xu's hands, before leaving.
Zhang Xu could not wait to open it and take a look, he was stunned...
Inside the city, on the way, Bing Lanyue saw a smiling Monarch Moli. She looked at the face that she hated to the extreme and sighed.
"You know that I'm coming?" Bing Lanyue asked.
Monarch Moli nodded his head, then shook it and said: "Lan Yue, I hope that you can come, but I did not know that you were coming."
He noticed the people behind Bing Lanyue and nervously asked: "Lan Yue, they are …"
"The Dark Guard of General's Estate is with me now." Bing Lanyue replied honestly.
"Let's go for a walk." Monarch Moli dismounted from his horse and handed it over to the guards by his side. Then he walked up and pulled the reins of the horse that Bing Lanyue was riding.
With his support, Bing Lanyue dismounted.
"I just found out that the person who tried to assassinate you at noon was someone sent by the Imperial Concubine Yun." Monarch Moli held onto Bing Lanyue's hand.
Bing Lanyue nodded: "I already know."
Monarch Moli held her hand tightly, as she walked along the streets of the capital, his heart had a strange feeling. It was as if he was shopping in his previous life.
Unfortunately, after walking down this street, it would be the south city gate.
The two of them fell silent. They did not mention what happened at the inn.
