Chapter 812: the sky is falling
Chapter 812 The sky is falling
Last night, there was a light snowfall in Wuwei County in the northwest, and the roof on the ground was covered with a thin layer of white snow.
Yang Lan'er got up early in the morning, pushed open the window of the inn, and felt that the air was much clearer, without the turbidity in the air yesterday.
Woke up the two children and had breakfast together.
After a day's rest in the inn, everyone's body has been rested, but the legs are sore and sore, the sour taste. Tsk, it goes without saying.
But time is tight, and they can't delay any longer. Even if it snows lightly today, they have to hurry.
She was afraid that if she didn't leave, the snow would fall harder.
It is almost the beginning of winter.
After breakfast, Liu Chunlai and the others went to prepare the carriage. Yang Lan'er packed their belongings and checked whether the children's clothes were warm.
Yesterday they bought a lot of padded jackets made of fine cotton cloth in the county town. From the inside to the outside, from head to toe, everyone bought two outfits.
As soon as Yang Lan'er helped the children tie up the muslin cloaks and felt hats, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Chunlai's loud voice came from outside the door: "Madam, two young masters, are you all right? The carriage is ready Alright, let's go."
"Okay, wait a minute, come right away." Yang Lan'er put on her cloak, finally picked up the package and took the children out.
Outside the gate of the inn, there was a two-headed carriage parked, and the other guards led the horses. This time, because of the cold and snowy weather, Yang Lan'er took the carriage with her two children.
Although the speed of the journey was a bit slow, but for the health of the children, there was no choice but to take a carriage. Even if they marched in a hurry, there were a few thick quilts in the carriage, and the children could at least sleep under the quilts.
The accident caused them to fall into the cave and roll thousands of miles away. It has been a few days, and the men in the family must be distraught.
The group of people was in a hurry, and they set off before dawn during the day, and they basically settled for three meals a day immediately. The guards are as tired as dogs every day, and the horses bought temporarily in the county are also tired and panting every day, with cramped hooves.
On this day, a group of people arrived in Longcheng, which means that half of the journey has been completed. After half a month of rapid march, everyone is as tired as a dog.
They decided to take a rest for a day and buy some scarce daily necessities in Dragon City by the way.
It’s rare to have a day off, the children are so tired that they don’t think about it when they touch the bed, and they stay on the bed and refuse to go out. Yang Lan’er has no choice but to make a list and let Liu Chunlai look at the purchase.
I didn't expect that I haven't bought all the items, but I heard a shocking big melon.
Liu Chunlai hurriedly drove the carriage back to the inn. He arrived before anyone arrived, and his loud voice spread throughout the inn before he went upstairs: "Ma'am, ma'am"
Yang Lan'er heard the knock on the door, got up and opened the door, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Chunlai looked around: "Let's go in and talk."
Yang Lan'er opened the door, turned around and poured him a cup of hot tea: "What happened?"
Liu Chunlai asked two of his subordinates to guard the door. He entered the room and closed the door. He looked at the two brothers sleeping soundly on the bed behind the screen, and saw that they showed no sign of falling asleep.
Pulled out a chair and sat down, took a sip of hot tea before answering the question mysteriously: "Ma'am, when I went to buy supplies today, I heard a big thing."
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Yang Lan'er sat opposite him, looking at him leisurely.
Liu Chunlai pointed to the top of his head, swallowed, and summoned up his courage, "The sky is falling."
"Huh? God?"
"Now the streets and alleys are rumored that Emperor Yonghui has passed away."
"Ahem. What did you say?" Yang Lan'er blushed from the tea, and couldn't believe her ears. What did he just say?
Emperor died?
If she remembered correctly, Emperor Yonghui seemed to be in his early forties, and from what Tan Anjun said, it seemed that Emperor Yonghui was diligent in governing and caring for the people.
Based on these four words, Yang Lan'er believed that he was not a licentious emperor. Then it is impossible for him to die on top of a woman because his body is hollowed out.
This exclusion, does that mean he has a health problem?
However, she did not hear that Emperor Yonghui was ill.
Or was it an accident?
"too suddenly!"
Liu Chunlai nodded and agreed very much: "My subordinates heard the news suddenly, and almost scared me off. At first, I didn't believe it was true. When I looked at the shops on both sides of the street, some of them hung red lanterns. Accepted, my subordinates are a little skeptical. It was only when I went to the yamen and saw the notice that I believed it was true!"
"Is it written in the notice what caused His Majesty's death?" Yang Lan'er was very curious about the cause of death.
"Not written."
"Really? Which prince inherited the throne?"
It is impossible for two people who have not met to say that they have much affection.
Besides feeling sorry for Yonghui Emperor Bintian, whom she has been friends with for a long time, Yang Laner is most worried about the cement factory they cooperate with.
If Xindi was a sensible person who cared about his reputation, he would not have reached out to their cement factory, and just keep everything as it is.
On the contrary, the final ownership of her cement factory will be a problem!
She doesn't want the foundation that she worked so hard to create, to be picked peaches by shameless people in the end!
"This subordinate has inquired clearly. I heard from the servants in the yamen that it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince who has inherited the throne. I see that the inscription on the notice says Changxing. It should be the first year of Changxing from next year." Liu Chunlai scratched his head and smiled inwardly. He knew that Emperor Yonghui had become a thing of the past, and what everyone cared about most now was who is the new emperor? How is your temperament?
After all, this is related to the future life of the people and the rise and fall of the world.
"Hey! It's him!" Yang Lan'er pouted.
Changxing?
Prosperous and prosperous, the meaning is good, but I don’t know if the new emperor can bear the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the world now that the world is in chaos?
She glanced at him and asked again: "It stands to reason that the first prince died when he was young, and according to the order, it should be the second prince's turn to inherit. How could it be him?"
He has heard that the third prince is treacherous and deceitful, plus he is narrow-minded and good at pretending, so he is not the one chosen to be the king.
Liu Chunlai opened his mouth, surprised, "The second prince fell off a horse and broke his leg during the autumn hunting this year, and he hasn't recovered. Don't you know about this?"
Didn't the master and son tell the mistress about these things?
If Tan Anjun knew that Liu Chunlai thought of him like this, he would definitely jump his feet. He was in the military camp when he received the news, and when he got home, he was excited for a moment, busy farming, hugging and kissing him, how could he remember such an insignificant matter? .
Yang Lan'er didn't say a word, just stared at him with a pair of flat eyes.
Frightened Liu Chunlai wished he could swallow back what he just said, just pretending that he never said that he had never been here, eh. Is it easy for him?
Don't look at him like this, he is timid, so scared!
