A glance at the spring breeze

"Uh..." Seeing that Yin Jian's face suddenly became unhappy, Qi Mo thought to himself: It is said that the Central Plains people are not as open-minded as they are in this respect, especially the scholars from rich families, who often chat with each other. This kind of thing makes you blush, embarrassed, and fidgety.Thinking about Ruan Lan's reaction when he found out about Zhang Chun|gong before, it is estimated that Ruan Lan's brother couldn't accept it for a while, so this is sulking, right?

Qi Mo was thinking about how to relieve the awkward atmosphere between the three of them, when he suddenly felt something falling from the sky and patted on the top of his head, which was cold.

Ruan Lan raised her hand to touch it and said, "It's raining."

It was still a drizzle at the beginning, but after a while, the rain intensified and accelerated, and it became a torrential rain in the blink of an eye.

Yin Jian quickly took off his black robe and covered Ruan Lan's head.

Seeing that Ruan Lan wanted to decline politely, Yin Jian leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "If you are sick tomorrow, I will take you back to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to treat you. Look."

Ruan Lan stopped talking for a moment, her two round eyes stared straight at Yin Jian, her hands unconsciously wrapped her robe tightly.

Qi Mo suddenly couldn't help laughing: "I said that the relationship between you two brothers is really good. It's raining heavily and you still stand in the middle of the road and whisper, tsk tsk... are you still going?"

"Go." Yin Zhen said.

Qi Mo wiped the rain off his face, and said: "I think you are good at lightness, little brother, why don't you follow me and fly back, it will be faster and less rainy."

"it is good."

"Ruan Lan's lightness kung fu is not yet able to use it freely, we will find a way to make him..."

But Yin Xian said confidently: "No need."

Seeing that Ruan Lan's long eyelashes were covered with crystal drops of water, Yin Jian suddenly reached out to touch them, and those eyes closed, and the rainwater on them also shook down to his cheeks.Before Ruan Lan could react, Yin Jian immediately hugged him into his arms, wrapped his waist tightly with one hand, and supported his shoulder with the other hand.

Ruan Lan, whose center of gravity was unstable, subconsciously hugged Yin Jian's back, and the tip of her nose hit Yin Jian's neck.

"You..." Ruan Lan was startled when she opened her eyes.

Yin Jian was very satisfied with this, turned his head to Qi Mo and said, "Let's go! You lead the way."

This movement was done in one go, and Qi Mo was stunned: "Oh... okay, okay. You will follow me closely after a while, and you must not fly too high. You must be lower than these bamboos, otherwise you will die if you are struck by lightning .”

Yin Jian hugged Ruan Lan and jumped up easily: "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

The three returned to the village.

Probably because of the rain, the stalls on the roadside were closed early, and the village was sparsely populated.Qi Mo led them all the way to the residence, pushed open the door and said to Yin Jian and Ruan Lan who were behind him: "Hurry up and go in."

Yin Jian's legs stopped when he was about to step into the door, and he glanced into the room hesitantly: "Then why don't you go in?"

"Oh, I'm going to pick up my younger brother from Granny Lu next door. You go in first, and I'll be back in a while." After speaking, he ran away.

Yin Zhen thought to himself: This kid really has a big heart, and he is not afraid that these two outsiders will rob him of his property.

Seeing Qi Mo's figure turning a corner and disappearing in front of the courtyard gate, Yin Jian turned around and entered the room, and saw Ruan Lan muffled flipping through a package in a cabinet in the corner.

The hem of Ruan Lan's lower body was already soaked, dripping water "tick-tick".Thanks to the robe that Yin Jian had draped over him before, Ruan Lan's upper body was spared, only the ends of her hair were splashed with some rainwater.

Ruan Lan found a set of folded clothes from the package, handed it to Yin Jian, and said, "Your Majesty is already soaked."

Unexpectedly, Ruan Lan cared so much about him, Yin Jian felt warm all over, and didn't feel cold when the wet clothes were attached to his body, as if his heart was filled with honey.

"Hmm...it fits pretty well." Yin Jian quickly put on, lowered his head and stroked the lapel.

Ruan Lan took the wet clothes that Yin Jian had replaced, and said: "The hand-woven things of the peasant women are crude and crude, and they are not as good as those used by the imperial palace."

"How come, as long as it belongs to Ah Lan, it's fine to wear it."

"It's just that I accidentally bought a big one before, and I had already decided to give it to Qi Mo..."

Yin Jian quickly pressed a finger on Ruan Lan's mouth.This mouth made him angry every so often, Yin Jian said: "You should change your clothes too."

As soon as Ruan Lan turned her head, she saw that "Wo Ji Tai Lai" was lying on the table intact. Ruan Lan was curious, and asked, "Why isn't it wet?"

Yin Jian unfolded the entire fan of "No Ji Tai Lai", placed it in front of Ruan Lan and said, "Touch and see."

Ruan Lan rubbed her fingertips on the surface of the fan, and it felt a little rough to the touch, obviously not as smooth as ordinary folding fan paper. It was obviously touching the paper, but it was like touching sand.

When I was in the dim mansion before, I couldn't find anything unusual at first glance, but now I looked carefully, the fan was very reflective, and the four big ink characters of "No Ji Tai Lai" were actually glowing with gold and silver luster.

"This is……"

Yin Jian said: "How about it, isn't it good? I inlaid a layer of silver on it. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it is also invulnerable to water and fire. It is really the best weapon for self-defense."

Ruan Lan's face suddenly turned red and white, he cleared his throat, turned his eyes to one side, and said calmly, "If your majesty likes it, I'll write another copy for you. Since this fan is broken, why keep it?" .”

Yin Xian accepted "No Ji Tai Lai", and said with a smile: "Your brother, you said that is very interesting. When you left before, did you expect that Brother Wei would come here to look for you?"

"I……"

Ruan Lan was speechless.

Yin Jian's words sounded quite reasonable, so he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

But before, it was obviously Yin Jian who imprisoned him in the palace for many years, forcing him to do such absurd things regardless of his feelings all day long, and it was reasonable for him to want to escape and seek freedom.Why did Yin Jian seem to have turned into a villain who abandoned his family and children when he came to Yin Jian's place?

It was obvious that Yin Jian was the one who did all the bad things to him.

Seeing that Ruan Lan had already been entangled by him, Yin Xian took an inch and said, "Ah Lan, tell me, when did your eyes heal? It's hard to hide it..."

"What? When did Ruan Lan's eyes go wrong?" Qi Mo came back at this time, and happened to hear the last two words Yin Jian said outside the door, "Ruan Lan, what did you hide from your brother?"

Ruan Lan was too lazy to explain to Qi Mo, and she couldn't explain clearly anyway, so she just stopped talking and sat quietly taking off her soaked boots.

Following Qi Mo into the room was an old woman holding an umbrella, holding a little boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was small and full of innocence in his eyes.

Ruan Lan nodded and shouted: "Grandma Lu." She was about to get up.

Seeing this, Granny Lu quickly waved her hands and said, "No need...Young master, please sit down. I heard Qi Mo said that you were caught in the rain outside, so I came here to help you take care of it, cook some ginger soup, and warm you up. "

Ruan Lan said: "Don't dare to bother mother-in-law, in fact, we can do these things ourselves. The road is slippery in rainy days, so be careful, it will be bad if you fall."

Granny Lu smiled and said, "I'm not that old, it's just raining. Xiaowen was still praising me for being young just now, isn't it, Xiaowen."

The little boy holding Granny Lu's hand said clearly, "Grandma is very young!"

Qi Mo also advised him: "Let Granny Lu cook some ginger soup for me. I'm freezing, so I have to go inside and change clothes. Xiaowen, don't run around, there are guests at home again, you help the reception."

"it is good!"

Qi Mo ran into the house in a blink of an eye, and Ruan Lan said to Yin Jian: "This is Granny Lu, Qi Mo's neighbor, and this is Qi Mo's younger brother, Qi Wen." Then she introduced Yin Xun to Granny Lu: "This is Qi Mo. ...my elder brother, Ruan Lin."

Yin Jian said respectfully, "Grandma Lu is good."

"Hey, hello, hello." Granny Lu looked up at Yin Jian, patted his arm, and said, "Your family is so handsome, and your parents are so nice. It looks like you have a pen and a knife. He is a suave and suave young man, and I am always envious of your father Lingtang."

Ruan Lan figured out with her toes that the "text" in Granny Lu's words was him.

"Thank you, Granny, for your compliment." Yin Jian was very happy to hear that, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

"Grandmother, I think he is more handsome than my brother!" Qi Wen raised his head and exclaimed.

Qi Mo, who was changing clothes in the room, suddenly replied through the door: "Qi Wen, who do you think is more handsome than me!"

"Qi Mo, you are not convinced, are you! The new big brother is much more handsome than you!"

The remaining three people on the spot were all amused by the appearance of Mr. Qi Wen.

Qi Mo rushed out of the room, with the belt in front of his clothes still tied in his hand: "You are really getting fatter and bolder. Let's go, since we like big brother so much, then we will help you tidy up a room for big brother, Otherwise, he has no place to sleep at night." He turned his head and said to Ruan Lan and Yin Jian, "That room is on the other side of the yard, let's go and clean it, you wait here first." Then he picked up Qi Wen, Pick up an umbrella by the door and go outside. "

"No, we can do it ourselves..." Before Ruan Lan finished speaking, the two Qi brothers had already disappeared.

When Granny Lu saw that the two had left, she also said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and make some ginger soup for you."

Ruan Lan said, "I'm sorry to bother you, mother-in-law."

After Granny Lu went to the kitchen, there were only him and Yin Jian left in the room again.

Ruan Lan looked at Yin Jian's handsome face, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is something I want to ask Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"About my mother."

Ever since she learned from Bao Qi that the assassins who visited the palace at night were not sent by the princess, Ruan Lan had doubts about his mother's "death".Since what those assassins said was false, is it possible that his mother is still alive?It's just that the group of assassins made up a lie that "Ruan's mother is dead" in order to let him leave the capital without leaving any worries?

As soon as Ruan Lan finished speaking, Yin Jian's heart skipped a beat.

"Looks like you already know."

Ruan Lan saw Yin Jian's reaction in this way, and the hope in her heart was shattered again: "Could it be that mother really..."

Yin Xian said: "On that day, a few hours before you and I were assassinated, Lingtang was assassinated."

Ruan Lan pursed her lips, and an uncontrollable look of pain and anger appeared on her face: "Then why didn't His Majesty tell me then?"

Yin Jian shook his head, "I know you want to blame me, but can you listen to me first?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Lingtang was shot and killed by an assassin lying on the roof." Yin Jian asked again, "Do you still remember the two feathered arrows you and I saw in the haunted house?"

Ruan Lan nodded.

The expression in Yin Xian's eyes suddenly became unclear.

He said slowly and in a deep voice, "It's exactly the same as the one that shot Lingtang."
