Big brother didn't take medicine again today

Jilin didn't know that the moment he left, the vacant position of empress was filled.

Bai Zhu silently said in his heart, "The matter of the emperor and empress has nothing to do with me, I didn't say anything, it was all Ruan Xianshi's own random thoughts", while leading Ruan Xingshu into Qingyun Palace.

"Ruan Immortal Master, rest here for a while." Bai Zhu collected his emotions, turned around and told the attendants beside him: "Go and pour some tea."

Ruan Xingshu sized up the palace he was in, and said, "It doesn't look like a place for discussion, but rather a sleeping palace."

Bai Zhu said: "Yes, the meeting place is in the Imperial Study, and His Majesty rests in Qingyun Hall at night."

Ruan Xingshu let out a sigh, and his eyes fell on the objects and furnishings in the hall again, and his brows frowned slightly.Sensing that Ruan Xingshu's expression was different, Bai Zhu said: "Master Ruan, what's wrong, but what's wrong?"

Ruan Xingshu shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just think this place is too crude, it really doesn't look like the place where the emperor lives."

What Ruan Xingshu said was not simple in the general sense, but compared to the status of the emperor, although the utensils and furnishings in Qingyun Hall were exquisite, they were actually a little simpler.

Bai Zhu said: "Ruan Immortal Master is really perceptive, the emperors of all dynasties lived in the Dragon Yin Hall."

Ruan Xingshu said: "Why does the lady live here?"

Bai Zhu said with a smile: "This Qingyun Palace used to be the residence of His Majesty when he was young. His Majesty missed the old days. After he ascended the throne, he just had someone clean it up. All the items in the palace, including tables, chairs and teacups, have never been changed."

Ruan Xingshu nodded: "So that's the case." He said and glanced outside the hall.

Bai Zhu followed Ruan Xingshu's line of sight, and said: "Your Majesty is discussing matters with others, and he probably won't be back in a short time. Is Master Ruan exhausted? I'll send someone to ask Your Majesty, where is the residence of the Immortal Master?" .”

"Arrangement?" Ruan Xingshu blinked, and quickly realized, he said: "There is no need to clean up a separate bedroom for me, I just said it casually, not because I dislike the shabby place, I just sleep with my wife."

Ruan Xingshu said with his hands behind his back, walked around the hall as if inspecting the territory, and even hummed a little song.The weird tune is not like the style of Canglanzhou's music, but it also has a festive flavor, which makes people feel better when they listen to it.

Seeing Ruan Xingshu's relaxed and casual appearance, Bai Zhu really admired him from the bottom of his heart. He said just now that he was under a lot of pressure and panicked, but in a blink of an eye, he put all his troubles and worries behind him.

After turning around, Ruan Xingshu sat down on the chair, and couldn't help yawning after waiting for Jilin to come back for a long time.

Bai Zhu said: "Master Ruan, you've been exhausted all the way, why don't you take a hot bath to relieve your fatigue."

This proposal was very favorable to Ruan Xingshu, he said with a smile: "Okay, Commander Bai, let's go together."

Bai Zhu quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, Master Ruan can wash it by himself, I will wait outside."

Ruan Xingshu didn't force her, "That's fine. But if the lady comes back, you must call me."

Bai Zhu said: "Okay."

Although the location of Qingyun Palace is a bit remote, it has an advantage that other palaces do not have.That is, there is a warm spring in Qingyun Hall, which is hidden inside the sleeping hall.

Bai Zhu was about to tell Ruan Xingshu how to enter, when Ruan Xingshu got up and walked to a wall, as if he had done it many times, he skillfully unscrewed the mechanism hidden behind a picture scroll.

There was the sound of the machine turning in the hall, and then a passage more than one meter wide appeared on the wall.Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Master Ruan Immortal, how do you know that there is a mechanism here?"

Even if Ruan Xingshu was keenly observant and noticed that there was a trap behind the scroll, how could he know that there was a warm spring behind the wall?And look at his skillful movements, as if he has done it many times.

After hearing Bai Zhu's question, Ruan Xingshu also reacted, he looked at his hands, and at the passage in front of him, he was also a little dazed: "That's right, how did I know there is a mechanism here?"

Bai Zhu quickly walked up to Ruan Xingshu, looked at him, and guessed: "Could it be that you have been to Qingyun Palace before?"

"Should...be here." Ruan Xingshu glanced around, his blank eyes gradually became firm, and he said, "I've been here before."

Bai Zhu's heart skipped a beat, even though he felt it was impossible, he still asked: "Master Ruan, do you remember?"

Ruan Xing shook his head calmly, "No, but Commander Bai, you see, my wife is now the emperor, which means that he was a prince when he was young. Since I fell in love with him, it is normal to live in his palace."

The more Ruan Xingshu said, the more he felt that it made sense, he asked Bai Zhu: "You are the lady's bodyguard, you should have seen me?"

Bai Zhu frowned, he had been with Ji Lin for three years, and he had never seen anyone other than Ji Lin stay in Qingyun Palace, let alone Ruan Xingshu.

Just as he was puzzled, Bai Zhu suddenly remembered something he heard when he was young, something about Ji Lin.

It is said that Jilin's biological mother was not from the immortal sect, but just a woman from an ordinary family who had no aptitude for cultivating immortals. The first emperor favored her only because of a drunkenness.

I don't know whether to say that the woman was lucky or unlucky, but within one night, she became pregnant.

The first emperor didn't like that woman's mediocre status, even though he was made a concubine, he never saw her again.

Later, the woman passed away during childbirth. Somehow, rumors spread in the palace, saying that the newly born fourth prince—that is, Jilin, was a disaster star who killed his mother. bring bad luck.

Ji Lin was not liked by the late emperor since he was a child, and he was sent to Ziyang Mountain, thousands of miles away from the capital, by the late emperor when he was ten years old in the palace.

Jilin stayed in Ziyang Mountain for five years. When Jilin was 15 years old, when he returned to the palace, it was said that Jiuxiaoyunmen sent a disciple to accompany him.

That time when he returned to the palace, Jilin only stayed in the palace for three months, and in the following two or three years, Jilin went back and forth between Jiuxiaoyunmen and the capital, and did not stay in the capital for a long time.

It was his year that Jilin stayed in the capital completely.

In that year, the war between the immortal and demon clans further escalated. The first emperor was cowardly and retreated step by step. It was in that year that Bai Zhu was selected by Ji Lin to become his personal bodyguard.It was also that year that Jilin set his sights on the throne.

Bai Zhu thought in his heart, could it be that Ruan Xingshu was the one who accompanied His Majesty back to the palace that year?

After much deliberation, this is the only explanation.

Ruan Xingshu's question about knowing the location of the agency was solved, but Bai Zhu's heart was filled with another question.

Ruan Xingshu is not much older than Jilin, and he was also a teenager when he accompanied Jilin into the palace.The two teenage boys, far away from the protection of their master, plunged into the palace where the dark tide was turbulent and the way forward was unknown.

They have been together day and night for three months, and the friendship between them should be very deep, but these years, Ruan Xingshu has seen Jilin from the future capital, and Jilin has never been back to Cloud Nine.

Bai Zhu followed Jilin for three years, and Jilin never even mentioned Ruan Xingshu's name until the day of his enthronement ceremony, when Jilin received a "gift" from Ruan Xingshu's trustee.
