Xie Rulan slept very restlessly this time, dreaming vaguely of the apricot-colored skirt, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but couldn't, watching the figure gradually leave her sight.

When he woke up, it was only half an hour later, and the candles in the room were only half burnt, and there was no one in the room except him, and there was no sign that anyone had been there.

In a daze, Xie Rulan really thought that it was just a dream.

In fact, no one has been here at all, right?

Xie Rulan asked herself in the bottom of her heart, but quickly rejected this doubt, because when he woke up, he could not feel the pain caused by the heartbroken attack at all.

According to the usual practice, the pain lasts for several hours every time it happens, but this time it doesn't hurt so quickly...

The aftertaste of sweetness and astringency lingered on the tip of the tongue, thinking that the person who came just now seemed to have given him some medicine, Xie Rulan was even more sure that someone had been here before, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and put on a blanket behind the dimly lit screen. Walking to the outer room in the outer robe, he saw a white jade porcelain vase on the table at a glance.

Xie Rulan paused, and walked over with a weak body, only to find that there was a small note under the palm-sized jade bottle. He picked up the bottle and unfolded the note. On it was a line of elegant block letters——

Remember to take medicine when you are in pain.

To put it simply and concisely, Xie Rulan's heartbeat stopped for a beat, her fingertips trembled slightly and she opened the cork, she smelled the fragrance of snow lotus, and poured out a snow-white ball the size of a fingernail, the tip of her nose was clearly surrounded by the sweet fragrance, smelling it It looks very familiar.

Isn't this the medicine he took when he was dizzy just now!

Suddenly guessing something, Xie Rulan suddenly opened the door and went out of the yard. The entire Fengxue Building was very quiet under the night, Xie Rulan was walking aimlessly among the pavilions, but her steps were in a hurry, wearing thin clothes He looked around while walking, looking flustered, as if he was looking for someone.

At the edge of the lotus pond, Xie Rulan met the disciples who were patrolling at night. Xie Rulan slowed down, pinched the small white jade bottle tightly with her fingertips, and passed those people with a pale but expressionless face. The leader of the night watch saluted him.

But at this moment, Xie Rulan turned her head and stopped the leading disciple.

"Wait a minute!"

The young disciple stopped immediately, Xie Rulan thought for a while, and then stepped forward and asked: "You guys just patrolled the night, have you ever seen someone come out of me?"

The disciple lowered his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone coming and going in and out of the clouds, my lord, but there are people..."

He interrupted him saying that there was no Xie Rulan, and said with a cold face: "Okay, it's fine if there is no, you continue to watch the night, but you must remind yourself not to be negligent."

After he finished speaking, he ignored those people and walked back slowly towards his residence, but he clenched his fingers tightly, frowning unknowingly, with a bit of sadness dyed between his brows.

I suddenly saw two people in the garden, under the dim light of the lantern, I saw one of them wearing black clothes from a distance, while the other left in a hurry, Xie Rulan only saw the familiar figure disappearing in front of the moon gate, and it was too late You can see his face clearly, but the light almond-colored brocade clothes are particularly conspicuous.

I don't know what it feels like, Xie Rulan has already opened her legs and walked towards the moon gate, but at this time the man has gone far away, and met the man in black, who even stopped Xie Rulan, his tone was very strange is surprised.

"Thank you, my lord?"

Xie Rulan noticed that person only now, isn't this the one who Xu Hui brought back, the one who spoke for him, Ji Feng?

Xie Rulan didn't bother to talk to him, just nodded to him and then went straight past the man, the whole figure hurried through the moon gate like a gust of wind, leaving Ji Feng with his mouth open, as if he had something to say.

The layout of Fengxue Building is huge, with pavilions, pavilions and courtyards. Xie Rulan didn't know why she came out, but just wanted to find that person and make sure if he was in the building.

It can be regarded as seeing the figure of that person from a distance, in the dark night, walking through the promenade, winding many roads, Xie Rulan followed that person from a distance.

I also know that I can't stop him loudly. If the person is not, wouldn't he have admitted the wrong person?

But just after the onset of toxicity, his legs and feet were still soft, and he became more and more tired after chasing for a while. Fortunately, the man also slowed down quickly, but he entered the loyal vermilion building of Fengxue Tower, and at this time he should be in front of the building. The guards were nowhere to be seen.

Xie Rulan raised her head and looked at the majestic Zhulou, which is tens of feet high. This is the forbidden area of ​​Fengxuelou. There is nothing in it except an ancestral hall. What is that person doing in there?

He followed in without thinking too much, there were always people taking care of it, and the incense candles were still burning at this time.

The inside of the ancestral hall is very wide, covered with plain white curtains, when the wind blows, the layers of white gauze inside will roll up like white waves, even if someone hides inside, no one will be able to find it, it looks very gloomy.

On the innermost shrine is the spiritual seat of the landlord and elders of the past. The candles are brightly lit in all directions, and the cigarettes are lingering.

Xie Rulan chased after the incense table and didn't see the figure again. She hurriedly turned around and looked around, but she didn't see the familiar figure from the back again, but he knew that since the person had entered here, he must not have gone out, so he kept the white account. Find people.

He searched for a long time, and was almost dizzy by the white gauze. After the layer was lifted, there was still white waves. Xie Rulan kept looking around, and finally saw a reflection on the ground. After chasing the reflection, he gradually heard the sound of footsteps .

Xie Rulan couldn't hold back and said to the man, "Who is there?"

Layers of white curtains let in the warm yellow candlelight, and the reflection on the ground could be seen a few steps away from him.

Xie Rulan was even more anxious to catch up, but this time he lost him. He had been searching for so long but he couldn't find him, so that person might still be avoiding him intentionally.Xie Rulan felt a pang of soreness in her heart, so she also gave up looking for it, and started talking to the person who was hiding somewhere in the house, regardless of whether he could hear it or not.

"I know you're here. Since you don't want to come out to see me, then I won't force you. Who are you?"

That person didn't answer, it sounded like Xie Rulan was talking to himself, with a low tone.

"I just want to tell you that this place is not safe, and someone will come over at any time."

In the empty room, there is only the slight sound of wind blowing through layers of white gauze.

Xie Rulan pursed her lips, held the medicine bottle with downcast eyes and said, "Then I'm leaving, don't come here again."

Since the man didn't want to see him, he disappeared.

Although Xie Rulan thought so, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She thought that the person came to see him in person, gave him medicine, and left a note, but she didn't want to meet him. Is he angry?

But Xie Rulan didn't want to say that...

Feeling depressed in an instant, Xie Rulan stood there for a while, convinced herself thoroughly, and walked towards the candlelight place.

At the same time, there were subtle footsteps behind him, and soon the figure appeared behind him, Xie Rulan saw it with lowered eyes, and immediately turned around in surprise, and saw the young man in apricot-colored brocade.

But the smile soon froze. Although the figure of that person was similar, it was a completely unfamiliar face. Xie Rulan froze in place, and then quickly took a step back, looking at the person vigilantly.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man was also taken aback, and said with a low voice: "I came with Elder Xu today, thank you for forgetting me so quickly?"

Xuhui?Xie Rulan recalled, how many people Xu Hui brought back, he only noticed the black-clothed youth named Ji Feng, but there was another person, but Xie Rulan didn't pay attention to him at the time, after he reminded him, he realized that that person was also Such a dress.

But Xie Rulan was even more nervous, he couldn't use his strength at this time, and he didn't have a weapon in his hand, if this person had evil intentions, what should he do?

At this moment, the man approached him and asked, "Are you following me all the way?"

Xie Rulan still asked: "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

The man didn't answer, but just took a step closer to him, Xie Rulan scolded: "Don't come here!"

It's a pity that he was strong on the outside but hard on the inside. Seeing that his face was pale, the man almost didn't even have the energy to speak, let alone listen to him, so he continued to approach him with his hands behind his back, while Xie Rulan was also slowly retreating.

Seeing this, the man laughed softly: "You were with me, and you talked to me just now, why don't you want to see me now?"

Xie Rulan had already retreated beyond the layers of white gauze, behind her was the incense table for worship, but this man approached him step by step in a leisurely manner.

Xie Rulan said coldly: "This is the forbidden area of ​​Fengxue Building. Even if you are brought back by Xu Hui, you can't come in casually! I advise you to leave here immediately, and I will pretend nothing happened..."

Hearing that, the man stopped and didn't approach him again, but just looked at Xie Rulan helplessly.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Xie Rulan didn't answer, just looked at this person vigilantly with those cold eyes, the person suddenly sighed again, and when he spoke again, his voice changed, he no longer deliberately lowered his voice as before, it sounded rough Rough look.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Hearing that voice, Xie Rulan froze again, staring at the man's face with wide eyes.

The man had no choice but to smile wryly, stretched his hands behind his ears, and the next moment tore off a thin mask in front of Xie Rulan, revealing his original appearance.

Seeing that familiar face, Xie Rulan didn't come back to her senses,

"What's wrong with you? Scared?"

The man smiled awkwardly and couldn't stand the long silent stare, but Xie Rulan's legs suddenly gave way, almost falling down, the man hurried forward to support him, knowing that he became anxious.

"What's wrong with you? Has the toxicity flared up again?"

Xie Rulan didn't answer him, but just grabbed his arm firmly, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, it seemed a little happy, but also bitter, her eyes became moist.

It took a long time before I opened my mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "You scared me to death..."

"I'm wrong? I'm wrong..."

The man hurriedly apologized, Xie Rulan threw himself into his arms unexpectedly, and froze the man completely, not daring to move.

I only heard Xie Rulan calling his name in a low voice, which seemed to be crying.

"Xiao Xingyu..."

Xiao Xingyu froze for a moment, stretched out his hand and patted Xie Rulan's back lightly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he responded softly: "Well, it's me, I'm back."

Under the quiet light, the two sat on the futon and talked, but it was Xiao Xingyu who was explaining, while Xie Rulan looked out the door with a serious face, caring about her weakness at that moment just now, her ears still slightly red.

Xiao Xingyu said: "After I went back, I asked someone to prepare the medicine for you. The one that was sent to you was Saussurea Pill. It took me a lot of effort to find this good antidote. It's just that Saussurea Pill can't cure the heartbroken poison in your body, but It can also relieve some pain. Xie Ning, don't worry, I will definitely help you find someone who can detoxify you, and you will be fine."

Xie Rulan nodded with dodge eyes, glanced at him quietly, quickly looked away, and asked again: "Then why did you follow Xu Hui?"

Xiao Xingyu smiled and said: "I found out that Xu Hui was close to you and opposed Chen Qianfan, and it happened that he was going to come back today, so I took the jade card you gave me to find him and told him that Chen Qianfan wanted to murder you , took the opportunity to occupy the Fengxue Tower all by himself. He believed me when he saw your token, and let me follow him into the Fengxue Tower."

"Then you are not very dangerous?"

Xie Rulan looked at him anxiously, Xiao Xingyu hurriedly said: "No!" I asked Ji Feng to contact Xu Hui, Xu Hui only knew that he was cooperating with Ji Feng, and didn't know my existence. "

"Don't worry, Ji Feng is my man, he is not weak, and Xu Hui will restrain Chen Qianfan, and Zhong Yue will lead people to protect in secret, I will be fine, the most important thing now is your business .”

Xie Rulan raised her eyebrows, "My business?"

Xiao Xingyu nodded, watching him play with the white jade porcelain bottle unconsciously in his hands, and said with a smile: "I want to take you away, we will find someone to help you detoxify, the longer the poison in your body drags on, the more dangerous it is, I don't want you to have an accident. "

Xie Rulan shook her head and said, "No, I can't leave now..."

"Is it for the ring?"

Xie Rulan opened her eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Xingyu and asked, "How do you know?"

But without waiting for Xiao Xingyu to explain, Xie Rulan had already guessed that Xiao Xingyu could find out about the feud between Xu Hui and Chen Qianfan, and even Ji Feng knew about the old enmity between Xu Hui and Zhang Huaichun. The reason for Fengxuelou.

Xie Rulan wondered: "But Master Jiang was very kind to me before he was alive, and Huan'er is his only child. He has no parents since he was a child. Except for me, no one here is willing to take care of him sincerely."

Xiao Xingyu looked at him for a long time, didn't know what to think, and finally sighed: "Okay, let's take Huan'er away together. I asked Ji Feng to talk to Xu Hui, and he is willing to help you leave Fengxue Tower."

"At that time, if you are willing to take care of Huan'er, take him away, and I will take you. Let's go find a miracle doctor, a master, and solve the broken heart in your body?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xingyu had already thought out the way out for him, Xie Rulan was stunned for a while, and said in a nasty voice: "You...you have already thought about it for me, why...why did you help me?"

Xiao Xingyu saw that his eyes were full of doubts, suddenly thought of something, and smiled bitterly: "You don't know why I treat you well all this time, why do you want to help me?"

Xie Rulan naturally shook her head, blinked her eyes and looked at him eagerly, and said, "I don't know, you...you mean...you have helped me so much, but you actually have a purpose?"

Suddenly feeling sad, Xie Rulan's eyes were both curious and apprehensive, afraid that Xiao Xingyu would say something she didn't want to hear, and use him like those cunning villains.

Xiao Xingyu laughed inexplicably, as if he was very happy. When Xie Rulan was about to get impatient, he stopped laughing and looked at Xie Rulan with a helpless expression that he could not help you.

"Forget it, now is not the time to say these things, Xie Ning, I will tell you after you leave here safely with me."

"……Um."

Xie Rulan responded, lowering her head slightly, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

Xiao Xingyu said again: "Then are you willing to go with me now? I have prepared everything. If you want to leave, I will notify Xu Hui at any time and ask him to assist and take Huan'er along the way."

Xie Rulan never thought that one day he would leave this imprisoned Fengxue building. He hesitated for a while, and wanted to agree to Xiao Xingyu, but in this case, Xiao Xingyu would take risks to help him, and Xie Rulan was very worried.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden voice from outside the door, and the man seemed to speak loudly on purpose to remind them.

"Acting landlord! Why are you here so late..."

The other person's voice was much softer, rustling and could not be heard clearly, but it was indeed Chen Qianfan's voice.

Xie Rulan had a bad heart, Xiao Xingyu also stood up, and said with a serious face: "There are people from Xuhui outside the house, but why did Chen Qianfan come here? Xie Ning, let's hide quickly!"

Xie Ning nodded, Xiao Xingyu helped him up again thoughtfully, Xie Rulan's feeling like a deer bumping back just now came back, she felt dizzy and her cheeks were hot, as if she was sick.

Xie Rulan coughed lightly, but let Xiao Xingyu hold his shoulder affectionately, and even stretched out his hand, pulling Xiao Xingyu to walk inside the layers of white gauze.

"Okay, let's go upstairs."

The vermilion wooden building was tall and towering, and behind the layers of white gauze was a hidden staircase. The disciple guarding outside seemed to be buying time for them to hide, and the voices of talking kept coming.

Xiao Xingyu followed Xie Rulan to the second floor, but there was nothing on it, only a few wooden boxes on the ground, which looked very old.

Compared with the downstairs, the second floor looks like it has been neglected for many years. There are cobwebs in the corners, and the ground is covered with dust. The dim upstairs can only be illuminated by the faint moonlight on the balcony. Get the gloomy staircase, which leads to the top floor with nine twists and turns, so dark that it seems that there is no end to it.

Xiao Xingyu couldn't help whispering: "This place can't hide people at all."

Xie Rulan also noticed it, except for an incense table by the wall and an old incense burner, there is nothing left.

But he could clearly hear the voice downstairs, Chen Qianfan had already entered the ancestral hall.

Xie Rulan sighed: "The upper floor has been abandoned for many years, and no one would come up on weekdays. We hide upstairs, so we should be fine."

Xiao Xingyu believed Xie Rulan's words, he nodded and said, "Okay."

It's just that the wooden boxes upstairs look a bit weird, such a big box, even a Tibetan, can lie in a grown man.But these boxes are placed on the ground irregularly, they look old, but they are extremely strong.

Xiao Xingyu asked: "What are these boxes?"

Xie Rulan was always worried that Chen Qianfan would come up, and also distractedly replied: "It should be something left by grandpa, Xiao Xingyu...where are you going?"

They hid at the entrance of the corridor. When Xie Rulan turned her head and saw Xiao Xingyu walking towards those boxes, she couldn't help frowning and followed.

Xiao Xingyu said: "Let me see where I can hide..."

He originally wanted to hide in the box, fearing that Chen Qianfan really came upstairs.

But as soon as he walked around in front of the box, the moonlight clearly saw the thick dust on the big box and the thick copper lock, so he gave up, sighed secretly, looked back at Xie Rulan, and suddenly found that There is something weird about the incense case.

After thinking for a while, he took Xie Rulan's hand and walked to the incense table. He brushed the table with his fingertips, leaving only a few thin traces of dust. Looking at the incense burner, it looked clean and shiny. He immediately let go of Xie Rulan, and reached out to touch the Censer, try turning it gently.

Sure enough, he was able to turn the incense burner, and at the same time, there was a gap in the wooden floor under the incense table.

Xie Rulan looked at the hole where the bottom could not be seen in surprise, and thought that Xiao Xingyu really had learned the mechanism, and he really had some skills.

And Xiao Xingyu had already squatted down to explore the entrance of the cave, and said, "There should be a secret room below here, with stone steps, follow me."

As he said that, he lowered his head first and went down, not forgetting to stretch out his hands to help Xie Rulan down, and then carefully explored the way in front of him.

Xie Rulan walked down the entrance of the cave together with him, there were indeed stone steps inside, the two of them walked down the stone steps in the dark step by step while holding onto the cold and flat wall bricks, the surroundings were dark.

Xiao Xingyu stopped suddenly, not knowing what he was doing, and soon a fire was lit in the secret passage.

Xiao Xingyu held up the torch in his hand, the faint light clearly illuminated a section of the road in front of the secret passage, they had just walked a few steps, but the secret passage was very narrow and long, and there was a flat passage under more than a dozen stone steps , and the passage quickly turned again, and there seemed to be something below.

Xiao Xingyu led Xie Rulan to continue walking down. When he reached the flat road, he found a candlestick on the wall. Xiao Xingyu turned the candlestick lightly, and the mechanism on it closed quickly.

Xiao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's hide here for a while."

Xie Rulan nodded and said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you."

He just said it casually, but Xiao Xingyu suffocated for breath, and then put a smile on his lips, looked at Xie Rulan with affectionate eyes, and held the other's hand tightly.
