Sima Lian's matter finally came to a conclusion, but Yan Zhan's problem remained unresolved.

There is no clear evidence that Yan Zhan was involved in this matter, but there is no evidence to the contrary, because Yan Fu is Yan Zhan's brother, outsiders will not understand the relationship between the two brothers, and the emperor Sima Jin, obviously attitude Fuzzy, he implemented a soft policy towards Beijing officials and consolidated his imperial power, but on the issue of Yan Zhan, he never made a statement, so Yan Zhan has been locked in the prison of Dali Temple these days, and no one is allowed to visit.

Jiang Lan was very anxious and discussed with Xia Henqiu, "What will happen to Yan Zhan?"

Xia Henqiu pondered for a moment, "Although the treason involves the nine clans, Yan Zhan's military exploits are outstanding, and it is possible to be sentenced to exile, but I think the emperor's attitude is very unpredictable." He looked at Jiang Lan, although the expression on his face With a touch of tenderness, there is a sharp light flashing in his eyes. After a pause, he continued: "I heard a rumor about you and Yan Zhan."

Jiang Lan lowered his head, very depressed, he couldn't hide anything from him, good things didn't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

When Xia Henqiu saw her bow her head, she immediately felt that she knew the truth of the matter. His delicate and pale face suddenly changed color, and a sea of ​​anger rose in his heart. He didn't know whether it was for Chu Qingcheng or himself. He turned around and left without saying a word, his fingers clenched into fists, let Yan Zhan die in the prison, what to do to save him? This is what he deserves, **** it, it's not enough to die once, he also wants to stab him.

Jiang Lan made a big jump. She said it well just now, but suddenly it changed. She took a few steps and grabbed his sleeve, "What's the matter with you?"

Xia Henqiu stopped and turned around to look at her, with a cold expression on her face, and her always stern and kind eyebrows were stern and indifferent. The cold light in his eyes is like a knife. Jiang Lan has never seen Xia Henqiu like this before. Even when he was angry, he was just expressionless. "He made you stronger?" he said through gritted teeth.

Asked so directly, Jiang Lan had to bite the bullet and answer, "It doesn't count, at that time there was really no way."

"How can there be no way?" Xia Henqiu asked, "It's a good thing for the emperor to marry him, why did he drag you into the water?"

"Hey, it's hard to say who dragged who into the water." Jiang Lan spread his hands, "The emperor also wanted to give me a marriage. Although the ending was absurd, at least I was spared the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Xia Henqiu asked: "That's why you gave up Qingcheng? Is it for Yan Zhan?" He was so angry that he vomited blood.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with anyone, I didn't plan to go with anyone." Jiang Lan stood up straight, her eyes a little lonely. "I didn't belong here in the first place, and I will leave sooner or later, so I am destined to be alone."

Xia Henqiu wanted to go up and hug her, telling her not to worry, he would always be with her, and he held back his words. Being too close will only keep her away. He patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry. I'll find your way home with you. You won't be alone, at least me."

Jiang Lan's sad expression lasted for a few seconds, and then he shook his head and threw away this negative emotion. What's the use of hiding in the corner to hurt the spring and autumn. Doing the right thing is the right thing to do. She asked again: "You said, how can I rescue Yan Zhan?"

Xia Henqiu suppressed the depression in his heart. Strictly said: "It depends on the emperor's intention. If the emperor wants a minister to die, he has to die, but I don't know what the emperor thinks."

Jiang Lan was a little annoyed. She hated the unprovoked killing of such an upright and loyal general in her life. This is not only an insult to the hero, but also a loss to the country. Who knows what will happen in the future? During World War II, the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union was so difficult not because the Soviet Union itself was too weak, but because of Stalin's purge, almost all the marshals were killed, and more than 150 division commanders killed 100 Second, this gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. When the war of aggression broke out, almost no one was available. Fortunately, Zhukov, who was still the division commander at the time, survived the purge and became the "fire-fighting captain", otherwise who knows what it will be in the end ending?

Xia Henqiu saw that she didn't speak, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you have to save him, do you really..."

Jiang Lan stopped him, "I don't want to talk about feelings, these are too extravagant, and I don't want to think about them, but Yan Zhan is a loyal and good person who defends the frontier for the country and the people in his life. People were killed innocently. Besides, he once rescued me, and now he is in trouble, I can't stand by and watch." She is just an ordinary person, a small person, the most ordinary office worker, and maybe in her life, she will only be able to Unknown, she will neither sacrifice for the country nor do any heroic deeds, but she has a conscience, the conscience of the most basic and simple common people. Even if she has nothing to do with Yan Zhan, she still wants to save him based on what she has heard about him in the past two years.

Xia Henqiu nodded, "You're right, we'll find a way." He was just blinded by a moment of anger. Yan Zhan was his friend. Although the two hadn't said a word for many years, he couldn't Watching him die. "I'm going to find out what the emperor said, don't act rashly."

Jiang Lan accepts Xia Henqiu's warning that her situation is relatively delicate. In the matter of Yan Zhan, unless the emperor indicates, it is not appropriate to show any emotions, otherwise it will only have a negative effect.

The two finally came to an agreement on the matter.

At the same time, Sima Rong in the palace was frowning. Ever since the incident with Yan Zhan and Jiang Lan, she has refused to think about these two people. She never thought that so many things happened later. , In the end, she was imprisoned. The empress dowager suffered a major blow, and her health deteriorated. Now even the person she likes has been imprisoned, and it is very likely that her head will fall to the ground. Sima Rong has had feelings for Yan Zhan for many years. Even if she deeply hates his indifference, she can't care about it so much at this time. She can't let go, and the only way is to ask the emperor.

Sima Rong knelt in front of the emperor, "Brother, please spare Yan Zhan's life, he won't die."

Sima Jin's brows and eyes were stern, "It's better for Huangmei not to interfere in the affairs of the state." Recently, there have been many people in the courtroom begging for Yan Zhan, but the more people begged, the more angry he became. With so many supporters, it really has to be alarming.

Sima Rong couldn't get up from her knees, she was very stubborn.

Sima Jin patted the table, "Could it be that you are also coming to disobey me. If you really want to save him, how about I let him be your concubine, you will keep him in prison for the rest of your life."

Sima Rong paused and took the order to thank him.

Let Yan Zhan be the concubine of the eldest princess, neither exiled nor reused. He is surrounded by the princess's mansion in Shangjing all his life. Under the eyes of the emperor, he not only blocks the long speeches of the common people, but also reflects his magnanimous kindness. , the emperor's tolerance and magnanimity.

Sima Jin felt very satisfied.
