A glance at the spring breeze

Ruan Lan's hands gradually trembled, tightened slowly, and clenched into fists.

The sky was getting dark, Taoist Xuan Mo raised his hand and waved lightly, and the candles in the tent suddenly lit up.

The quiet flame danced and danced in front of the two of them.

Ruan Lan frowned slightly, the initial shock on her face had faded away, her eyes were flickering, her expression was unclear, she didn't know whether she was happy or worried.

Daoist Xuan Mo leaned against the candlelight, and the shadow on the ground was stretched thin and long.He slowly said: "After Pindao said such a thing, did the young master ever think about forgiving His Majesty? To write off all the past grievances and grievances?"

Ruan Lan swept her eyes downward, and her two eyelashes drooped.Looking at the dancing reflection on the ground, he suddenly loosened his clenched fists and said, "No."

The Taoist priest stroked his beard with his right hand and smiled slightly: "The poor Taoist also knows that the young master probably thinks this way in his heart. So now that he knows the truth, the young master is just adding trouble."

"But—" Ruan Lan closed her eyes and shook her head when she heard the words. After a long time, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face, and he sighed: "What the Taoist said is true, this junior really didn't think carefully."

"Heh... Pindao is just talking casually. After all, curiosity is the nature of human beings, especially when it comes to their own affairs, they want to get to the bottom of it."

"Teached."

Ruan Lan's heart suddenly became complicated, he picked up the cup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp.

When it first entered the mouth, it was bitter and astringent. After swallowing for a long time, the astringency in the mouth became more intense. The bitterness made Ruan Lan dizzy for a while.

Suddenly the priest said: "This is Xuancao tea that Pindao brought from the East China Sea. It has the effect of detoxification and refreshment. It is the last blind antidote for the poisonous poison of the young master."

"An antidote?"

Ruan Lan immediately felt the blood in her body surge up, and with a "poof", she spat out a mouthful of thick black blood.

"Although the effect of this Gu has expired, it is an external poison after all, it is better not to stay in the body. Fortunately, the young master came back with His Majesty this time, otherwise the Gu would probably follow the young master forever."

After Ruan Lan vomited a mouthful of blood, she really felt refreshed and relaxed.He hastily bowed to the Taoist priest: "Thank you, Taoist priest. The younger generation can see the sun again, thanks to Taoist priest Xinglin's savior for saving him."

"Don't dare to dare, the poor way is just to get people's money and eliminate disasters. Not only did your majesty reward the poor way with a lot of money, but he also allowed the poor way to cut out an extra keel. If it wasn't for that keel as a reward, the poor way Daoxing might not come."

"One more cut, one?" Ruan Lan's eyes widened instantly.

Taoist Xuanmo cleared his throat, and solemnly explained: "Dragon bone is a rare thing in the world, and it is a good product for increasing cultivation. It is only effective if the living emperor himself voluntarily donates his ribs and cuts them raw from the flesh. For thousands of years, no one has been lucky enough to see the real dragon bone. Seeing such a rare treasure, it is human nature to want to keep it in the pocket, so, Mr. Ruan, don't blame the poor for being greedy..."

Ruan Lan was full of disbelief, and he retorted: "But when I saw His Majesty, he didn't look like he was missing two ribs at all, how could it--no..."

Daoist Xuan Mo smiled: "How difficult is it to look like an ordinary person? Take out a real human bone and put back a fake animal bone for support."

This time, Ruan Lan didn't respond, but fell silent.

After a long time, he brushed off the blood on his cuff.

Already done.

"My lord, is your lord there?" Director Zhang's voice came from outside the tent, "Your Majesty has something to ask for you."

Ruan Lan stood up immediately after hearing this, and said, "Then, this junior will take my leave."

Daoist Xuan Mo nodded, and flicked the two fairy sleeves: "It's getting late, young master, be careful, and the poor Taoist should rest."

Ruan Lan turned around and opened the tent, and saw Yin Jian and Manager Zhang standing outside the tent one behind the other.As soon as the two of them saw him, they were both shocked.

Yin Xian strode up to support Ruan Lan: "Are you injured?"

Manager Zhang also said: "My lord, there is a lot of blood on your lips."

Ruan Lan shook her head: "I was not injured, Taoist priest just helped me print the Gu worms out of my body, these are just poisonous blood."

Yin Xian's brows immediately widened: "No wonder the Taoist priest told me before I left the palace that as soon as you come back, he will let you look for him."

"Trouble Your Majesty to be concerned."

At this time, Ruan Lan realized that Yin Jian's attire had changed, the black robe had been replaced with plain attire, and all the accessories on her body had been taken off.Ruan Lan took a closer look, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, are you fasting?"

"Yeah." Yin Zhen nodded, "If it wasn't for fasting, how could I have an excuse to stay behind closed doors on this journey, and besides, thanks to Yun Sheng's serious acting in the past ten days, he deceived them all... "

Director Zhang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is absurd."

Ruan Lan recalled: "But I remember that before offering sacrifices to heaven, one had to fast for three days in the fasting palace instead of fasting on the way, and in the past, ancestors used to go to Mount Tai for offering sacrifices to heaven, and seldom came to Mount Song. Why did they come to Mount Song this time? ?”

Yin Jian replied: "Songshan Mountain is farther away."

Ruan Lan remembered that when Yin Jian was in the ghost house, he mentioned the location of the sacrifice to heaven, and seemed to have told him so.

——"Songshan Mountain is farther away."

Yin Jian went on to say: "If it's Mount Tai like the original, there will be less time to find you."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Ruan Lan immediately felt her face swell and burn.He looked at Yin Jian, and he couldn't help thinking of what Daoist Xuan Mo told him just now——Yin Jian has had two ribs cut out.

But the mouth is still: "Your Majesty, what do you do - the distance here is hundreds of miles, your majesty knows how much money will be spent on this journey? How many people have stopped business and stopped farming in the places they pass. Selfishly, to do such a waste of people and money."

Yin Jian had already expected that he would say this, so he came up with exaggerated words at his fingertips: "During this journey, the accompanying officials saved a lot of rations due to fasting, which is much more than before; in addition, the death of Concubine Wei, and the The case of the assassin involves a lot of people, and it is inevitable that it has something to do with the disputes of the imperial court. If it is not protected, it is a matter of the survival of the country. If you are not found, the clues will be broken. How can this be selfish?"

Ruan Lan has always been astute than ordinary people, so she didn't fall into Yin Jian's clichés about the survival of the country. He retorted righteously and sternly: "Then His Majesty doesn't need to come looking for me in person, just let the hidden guards arrest me and return to Beijing." That's right."

"If the hidden guards can really catch you, I won't have to go out of the palace to find you myself."

"you……"

Ruan Lan thought to herself: Although Yin Jian's words made people feel uncomfortable, there is some truth to it. After all, Qi Mo's lightness kung fu is so good that it can be said that he comes and goes without a trace.As long as Qi Mo is by his side, it is indeed difficult for ordinary hidden guards to get close.

The two were silent for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Fortunately, Manager Zhang has a good eye. He lifted a piece of clothing from his hand and said to Ruan Lan: "My lord, the slave also brought you a plain robe. Please put it on quickly, your lord. It will be fine after tomorrow night."

Since he was going to Mount Song, if he departed according to the originally planned time, he would not be able to sacrifice to heaven on the selected auspicious day.Therefore, not only did the departure date need to be brought forward, but even the fasting day was directly changed by Yin Jian to be carried out on the way.

Not only the emperor must fast, but all the accompanying officials and attendants must fast until tomorrow night.

While changing her clothes, Ruan Lan asked Yin Jian, "When can I go to see General Wei?"

The feeling of being framed was too bad, and he couldn't wait to go to General Wei to clarify the facts and clear up his grievances.

Yin Xian lost his mind, and the moonlight seemed to be hidden in his sword-browed eyes: "I just sent someone to look for him and asked when he would be free."

"How did General Wei reply?"

"tonight."

Ruan Lan frowned: "Then tonight, I—"

Yin Xian saw that he was flustered, so he put a hand on his shoulder: "I will protect you by my side."

……

The three of them walked together to another tent that was taller and wider.This is the residence of General Wei Long.

As soon as the guards in front of the tent saw Yin Jian, they knelt down straight: "See Your Majesty."

"Is General Wei here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, General Wei said that if Your Majesty comes to find the general, you can go in directly."

Yin Xian turned his head and gestured to Manager Zhang with his eyes to tell him to wait at the door, and then said to Ruan Lan, "Follow me in."

Ruan Lan followed Yin into the tent, and immediately a teacup flew towards Ruan Lan.

Yin Jian caught it with one hand.

Unexpectedly, the hot water contained in it was already flowing out along the side of the bowl.Yin Jian immediately let go of his hand, but the skin on his palm was already burned by the hot water.

There was a "pound", and the teacup shattered to the ground.

It's really a blessing, and misfortunes never come singly.Old wounds are not healed, and new wounds are added.This hand is the left hand that was corroded and injured by the poisonous powder from the ghost house a few days ago.

"Your Majesty." Ruan Lan quickly stepped forward to support Yin Jian's arm.

"Your Majesty!" General Wei also yelled, and rushed to the two of them, blaming himself, "It's all my fault!"

Yin Jian withdrew his hand, and said with a calm face, "It's just that the tree branch cut the skin, what happened just now?"

"..." Ruan Lan remained silent.I thought to myself: As the king of a country, if Yin Xian was injured by General Wei, according to the law, he would be punished.But now that Yin Jian is talking like this, he must be selling General Wei's favor.

When General Wei heard this, he knew in his heart that Yin Jian wanted to "make things trivial", so he also took a step back, and stopped yelling at Ruan Lan, and only said: "Why does Your Majesty protect him like this!"

Yin Jian persuaded: "Hey, general, don't be angry. There is actually a lot of hidden feelings in this matter. I brought Ruan Lan here to explain the strangeness to the general. Otherwise, even if Ruan Lan is killed, The real murderer is still at large, and the spirit of Concubine Wei cannot rest in peace..."

Hearing the word "Concubine Wei", General Wei's eyebrows suddenly became solemn: "So, this kid is not the murderer who killed my daughter?"

Yin Jian's speech reveals a steady and confident attitude, and it seems that he is sure of this certainty.His tone sank, and he said word by word: "Ruan Lan is not the murderer."

Seeing the emperor's assurance, General Wei's heart was unavoidably loosened.Immediately afterwards, he looked at Ruan Lan who was standing behind Yin Xian.

"Since this is the case, the old minister has something to ask him alone. If what he said can really convince the minister, he will no longer doubt him."

alone……

Yin Jian glanced back at Ruan Lan, only to see Ruan Lan's expression was calm, and she responded, "Okay."

The author has something to say:

Let me explain here: 1. The ancient emperors could not always go to worship the heavens. 2. It is impossible for the royal family to travel from Beijing to Songshan so quickly.It's just for the plot, and my article is superficial, so I set it up like this... please pat.
