Chapter 385

For a moment, after hearing the news, Ling Lan's expression was blank.

Actually, is it the royal family?
She didn't know whether the so-called emperor who was still alive slaughtered and wiped out all the people in Gushan, and she didn't know what role the current Prince Kang played in this.

Ling Lan felt that she needed to calm down and think about it.

Like this, just like this, Ling Lan forced herself to be locked in the alchemy room again, without seeing anyone for three consecutive days.

Suzuran has been thinking about these things in the past three days. There are the things she met when she was in Gushan, her old father and mother who have died, the little boy who was later adopted, and those who have died. The original owner had what happened during the time when she was being hunted, and even the body of Suzuran, the original brother who was said to have gone to cultivate immortality.

All these things were wandering in Ling Lan's mind, and she seemed to have touched something faintly.

In fact, after Ling Lan became the uncle's prostitute and gained power, it's not that she hasn't searched for the only relative left in this body.

Originally, in Ling Lan's opinion, this should be easier to find, after all, among the people who selected children with cultivation potential, there were also people from the imperial court following them.

If the imperial court entered, there would be traces to follow. As long as she searched patiently, she would always be able to find some clues.

But in fact, she couldn't find any clues!

The sect does not choose its disciples casually. They go from village to village looking for them.

Instead, a mountain gate is set up, which opens at a specific time, and only children with ability, perseverance and opportunity can enter.

This is like casting a net to find suitable children everywhere, and then take all of them away...

To be honest, nowadays, even those low-level comprehension sects who are a bit pursuing will not do this. After all, whether a person can go long on the road of cultivating immortals, talent is very important, yes, but more important , or the willpower of the person himself.

A person without enough willpower is like an exquisite vase. No matter how well-made it is, the most useful thing is for people to appreciate it. Once encountering any setbacks, the most likely end will be broken into pieces.

Therefore, that selection must have been tricky!

Moreover, according to Lily Lan's investigation, such things have actually happened in many places, as if someone with a certain influence secretly selects children who are suitable for cultivation for their own use.

However, the people of this faction were very careful. If it wasn't for Ling Lan's ability to cultivate ghosts and learn some inside information about the cultivation sect's recruitment from the very beginning, it would be easy to be fooled!

After that, it was what happened in Gushan Village.

Before the village extermination case in Gushan Village, it was said that a girl in the village saved a person, and it was because of that person that what happened in Gushan Village happened later.

Burning the village, killing people, erasing all traces of the existence of Gushan Village, including her, who escaped the catastrophe, will also be erased.

Then, Ling Lan has reason to suspect that the identity of the rescued person must not be known to outsiders, and even if it is revealed, some uncontrollable things may happen.

During the subsequent escape, Ling Lan met the convoy of the original owner who was attacked. Through the memory of the original owner, she learned that the person who chased her and the person who chased Ling Lan should be the same kind of people.

It's just that they don't know whether the other party belongs to Prince Kang or the former emperor.

In fact, in Suzuran's thoughts, she was closer to the late emperor.

Prince Kang's attitude is already very obvious. He intends to compete with the current emperor's position. Although he is relatively restrained now, in fact, it is hard to say how much he has corrupted the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty with money. .

Moreover, he has the Jinyiwei left by the former emperor. Even if the emperor has established an imperial forest army that is said to be no worse than the Jinyiwei in these years, the tense atmosphere cannot be deceived.

Today's capital city is like a bow that is fully drawn. It only needs an opportunity to change the scenery in an instant.

But among them, the shadow of the first emperor is also very heavy.

If the late emperor had not died, how many people in the court would be his?

Leaving aside the fact that the first emperor was forced to confess by these people, let’s just say that over the years, the emperor came to power, suppressed dissidents, and used various items to suppress those officials who might be Prince Kang. Among them, regrets must be inevitable. of.

After all, the first emperor was not Prince Kang. He said he died of illness, but if that was just an excuse, he might still be alive and well now. In the prime of life, it is also possible for those civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who regretted to want to pull the former emperor out again.

And from Ling Lan's point of view, the former emperor himself was not a cheap lamp!
Let the first emperor leave as soon as he leaves, why did he hand over Jin Yiwei to Prince Kang?
On the surface, this is a guarantee for his favorite young son, but how much weight does the emperor's love have in it?

The late emperor's love for Prince Kang was reported when the other princes seized the throne. At that time, how much of this news was deliberate?The first emperor was forced to leave the throne, was he willing?

If he is not reconciled, then he handed over such a big killer as Jinyiwei to Prince Kang, who was still a child, and expressed his strong reluctance and love for Prince Kang. Is this also encouraging Prince Kang's confidence and allowing him to have The ability to fight the current emperor?
Suzuran simply couldn't imagine what kind of conspiracy there was.

She felt that these three days of retreat had completely subverted her previous cognition. She originally thought that she was here to avoid disaster. She wanted to hide for a while, and when she grew up, she looked different from when she was young After being so similar, he traveled outside, no matter what, he had to find out the truth of the original Gushan Village, and then kill his enemies.

But now, she feels a mess.

Originally, the Amber Mansion, which she thought was safe, was still in the center of the vortex. If she didn't pay attention, she would probably be cannon fodder, and then she might end up being dragged out together and convicted.

This damn original owner has been reborn so many times, why doesn't he have more brains to investigate it properly?Just these things she dug out were enough to make Suzulan completely disappointed with the original owner's IQ!
On the one hand, Linglan blamed the original owner for not collecting more useful things for her, but on the other hand, she was thinking intensively whether she was trying to come up with a useful recipe.

This Amber Mansion is definitely not safe.

Uncle An has been the emperor's knife for so many years, not to mention what kind of position the Anbo Mansion took when he forced a confession, just look at the servant's family, Ling Lan is enough to sweat for the Anbo Mansion.

That's right, the current Ling Lan has already started conspiracy theories about the death of the servant's family.

Everyone thinks that the servant's family are spies and are loyal to the former emperor.

But now Suzuran felt that there might be another possibility.

Not to mention anything else, just a person with such a tattoo on his waist, no matter what, at least something so important, people will have a subconscious reaction, at least if it is Lily of the Valley, I would rather be injured and scarred, that is also Keep that place from being exposed.

But that young master of the servant's family, just so... can't be said to be a big lala, just so seemingly inadvertently, in fact, he didn't have that consciousness at all, so he was exposed!

Thinking of this, she felt a creepy feeling.

Lily Lan doesn't feel safe at the moment, she seems to have suddenly found something great, there are people in power who she can't touch right now are playing games, and she is very likely to become a victim of those people's games .

In fact, there have been some clues to these things, such as the ups and downs of the official career in the Amber Mansion.

Now Uncle An looks good. Although he has lost his real power, Uncle An's name is still there, and he has found a backer for himself. The emperor can't really do anything to him. There are many more when I am an official, and such days seem to be pretty good.

But in reality, Lily of the Valley felt a chill down her spine at the moment.

There is a saying in this folk, called 'kill fat sheep'.

The Amber Mansion now seems to be prosperous and prosperous, but can these really belong to the Amber Mansion in the end?
Lily of the Valley closed her eyes, and finally took out her encyclopedia.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

Now the Amber Mansion is obviously in the middle, no matter what, it is obviously very difficult to get out.

Now she is the first daughter of Uncle An's mansion, she seems to be very popular with Uncle An, and she also has a lot of voice in the mansion.

But these are all just given by Uncle An, and their own weight is still not comparable to that of Uncle An. Even if she really wants to say something to Uncle An, Uncle An will not believe it in the short term .

Moreover, this kind of 'whistleblowing' can easily make people suspicious. It is enough for her to think about it by herself. If it really stirs up some people's nerves and makes things uncontrollable, it will be a real tragedy.

Therefore, what Ling Lan has to do is to add chips to the Amber Mansion itself!
If it is said that the Amber Mansion itself has become indispensable, or that no one in power can bear to part with it, will the Amber Mansion be preserved in this power struggle?

Ling Lan knew that her thoughts were somewhat idealistic, but with her current status, that's all she could do.

Don't look at her looking very beautiful now, but even she herself can't tell how many other people's eyeliners are around her!

Therefore, even if she guessed some clues, she can't do anything or say anything.

If you want to make a change, you can only influence it from the side, without leaving any trace!
Ling Lan had made such a plan, so the next day, when Uncle An's trusted steward came to Ling Lan's side to take the panacea, Ling Lan gave the steward a small box.

This small box is neither big nor small, just a little smaller than the jewelry boxes used by those daughters.

But the steward was very careful when holding the box, because there was a self-destructing magic circle on it!

In other words, unless the box is opened in the correct way, once someone tries to open it by informal means, the box will be destroyed together with the contents of the box and the person holding the box!
Well, what is in this box!

The steward wiped the sweat off his forehead nervously, then looked pitifully at his eldest lady, but Ling Lan's attitude was very cold, as if she didn't want to talk to him, she waved him away .

By doing this, Ling Lan didn't intend to embarrass the steward.

But she is very clear that there are spies around her, and there must be many hidden deep spies in this house.

Linglan didn't know who in this house she could truly trust, so she didn't try to test it. What she had to do was to ensure that this thing would be delivered to Mr. Amber, or even if it couldn't be delivered to Mr. Amber. Hands, no one else wants to know what’s inside!
Uncle An has been very busy recently, otherwise it would be impossible for this kind of thing to be assigned to the servants.

Ling Lan knew that there were other spies in this mansion, so how could he not understand?
Perhaps Ling Lan and Uncle An were not on the same channel when they were nervous, but after so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Uncle An had somehow noticed something.

Especially Uncle An himself is a part of the insider of the truth. The only thing he doesn't know is that the one who chased and killed his daughter was not some ordinary cultivator out of money, but the work of the late emperor.

It is also not clear that without the intervention of Lily of the Valley, the Amber Mansion would eventually fall.

But even if he didn't know, he still felt a little bit of a storm coming.

Especially the target of the current emperor, who has worked under the emperor for so many years, he himself is one of the group of people who know the emperor best, and his own defense is of course indispensable.

Therefore, when such a box was delivered to him, he did not feel that his daughter was making a fuss. Instead, he sighed that she was indeed his daughter, she was really smart!

Of course, it didn't take long for him to be flattered. After someone checked the quantity of the panacea, he dismissed the others, and he happily opened the small box.

Uncle An opened the box with the mentality of looking for surprises, and the things that Linglan prepared also did not disappoint this uncle.

The moment he opened the box, and a burst of medicine smelled on his face, the smile on Uncle An's face froze at first, and then changed to a mixture of disbelief and ecstasy. People are speechless.

Uncle An was so excited at the moment, after walking around in circles for a long time, he finally decided to go to his own daughter to find out.

Such a big thing, my God, how did my daughter know the prescription of this elixir!
