A glance at the spring breeze

Although Ruan Lan's new mansion is not the former Ruan Mansion's mansion, but it is actually only across the street. Yin Jian told him that as long as he works hard, he may be promoted again at any time. The big house was given back to him, and it was justified.

Manager Zhang accidentally injured the elder brother of the twin brothers with a hidden weapon in the dark night. Ruan Lan felt guilty, so she ignored the gloomy thundercloud gradually rising above Yin Xian's head, and insisted on taking the two of them home.

As soon as her feet stepped into the new home, a strange black figure suddenly sprang out from the flower garden behind the door, and rushed into Ruan Lan's arms like a lightning bolt.

"My lord! This slave misses you so much!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ruan Lan instantly relaxed.

——It’s Eunuch Yu.

"My lord, why did you leave the servant without saying a word? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill the servant in a fit of anger? Woooooo..." Eunuch Yu hugged Ruan Lan directly and burst into tears, with snot and tears running down his face , crying and yelling, "My lord, my slave almost thought that I would never see you again...Wow...My lord, you've lost weight..."

Ruan Lan didn't know what to do for a moment, he raised his hand, and patted the back of Eunuch Yu's head lightly: "Okay, okay, don't cry, look, I'm back, haven't I?"

Eunuch Yu cried for a while before opening his eyes, and vaguely saw two people behind Ruan Lan.

"My lord... who are they..."

After Eunuch Yu asked, Ruan Lan finally remembered that the twin brothers had followed him back.

"they are……"

When the words came to her lips, Ruan Lan remembered that he didn't seem to have time to ask the names of the two of them.

Mr. Yu wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeves, and when he took a closer look, he found that the two boys who came back with the adults really looked good. Not to mention their fine skin and tender flesh, their faces were also picturesque and delicate. lovely.The most rare thing is that these two people are almost carved out of the same mold, and they look quite alike.It's just... one of them was pale, and his arm seemed to be injured. There was a circle of white gauze wrapped around his arm, and there were sporadic blood stains in the middle.

The uninjured one, seeing Ruan Lan's sudden silence, hurried forward and said, "The princess told us two that since we are following the lord, we must use the name given by the lord in the future."

"What do you mean by "following the adults"? ! "Eunuch Yu was a little surprised, rolled his black eyes twice, then looked at Ruan Lan with his mouth pursed, "My lord...your majesty, your majesty...do you agree? "

"Cough..." Ruan Lan paused, and did not answer Eunuch Yu directly, but said to the one who was not injured, "You guys should still be called by your original names."

After the two brothers heard this, they all looked at each other. After a while, the one standing in front of Ruan Lan said, "My lord, my slave's name is Ting Jin, and my elder brother's name is Ting Yuan. Our two brothers were abandoned by our parents and sold to For the princess, my father was tyrannical, and my lord allowed us to use our original names, but we didn’t want to take my father’s surname any more. So, after some discussion between our two brothers, we decided that from now on, we will follow your surname Ruan.”

Um?Ruan Lan was a little puzzled: When did the two of them discuss it?Obviously they just looked at each other face to face...

Could it be that there is really a spirituality between twin brothers?

Ruan Lan saw that the gauze on Ruan Tingyuan's arm gradually overflowed with more blood, and hurriedly said: "Go and rest quickly, father-in-law. Clean up a room for them."

"promise."

Ruan Tingyuan supported the injured arm by himself, shook his head and said, "My lord, I have no problem, I can still serve you tonight."

Ting Jin said: "If my lord doesn't want to see blood, then I can let my brother rest, and I can serve my lord by myself tonight."

Ruan Lan's ears turned red immediately, and she looked at the two identical white and tender faces in front of her and said, "Cough...you...you should have a good rest today. We'll talk about this later, later." After speaking, take advantage of the two Before the brothers could react, Ruan Lan slipped away in the blink of an eye.

On this night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the house is silent.

"Brother." Ting Jin was very puzzled, "Why do I feel that the adults seem to be afraid of us?"

"I don't know." Ting Yuan looked at his younger brother, then at Ruan Lan's leaving back, and said, "Probably because you are afraid of His Majesty the Emperor."

"Oh……"

*****

Early the next morning, several "guests" came to Ruan Lan's residence.

These guests were ordered by Yin Xian to be in charge of investigating the case of Wei Wanpin's murder.In order to collect evidence, Ruan Lan is needed to assist them in the investigation.

With the testimony of General Wei and Princess Yueyang, and the help of He Wei, Ruan Lan has now basically cleared the suspicion of killing Concubine Wei. As long as she can find other strong evidence, I believe the truth will soon come to light.

The leader was a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Ruan Lanfu felt very familiar when he saw him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

When introducing himself, he said: "My lord, my name is Li Quanfeng. I was originally the commander-in-chief of the Habayashi Imperial Guard. On the night of the death of the concubine Wei, I was on duty. After the death of the concubine Wei, although your majesty dismissed me But give me this one chance to redeem myself."

While listening to him, Ruan Lan outlined a person's face in her mind.

The night Wei Concubine was killed...

——It turned out to be him!

That night Ruan Lan fled with the identity of Ah Shan, and was stopped by a majestic guard outside the palace gate. At that time, she only felt that the guard was more serious and brave than ordinary guards... Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the right commander of the Imperial Palace Habayashi Army.

Due to the dim light, he couldn't take a closer look at the guard's face, but he still remembered the general appearance, and compared the voice, Ruan Lan was even more convinced that the guard he met that night was the demoted general in front of him.

Of course, Ruan Lan didn't have the nerve to say "I'm the one who caused you to lose your job", but before Li Quanfeng received Yin Xian's order, he probably already knew from Yin Xian that Ruan Lan was one of the culprits who caused him to be dismissed.

Ruan Lan looked at Li Quanfeng's expression resentfully, and was relieved secretly when she saw that there was no complaint or resentment on his face from the beginning to the end.He said, "I'm going to trouble you for a few days."

Li Quanfeng got straight to the point: "Your Majesty ordered me to start the investigation from the secret passages of the city wall today."

"Well, His Majesty also told me last night. Speaking of which, do you know the exact direction?" That night was dark, and Ruan Lan couldn't tell the direction at all, and Bao Qi was in charge of the car, so he couldn't remember the way even more. .

"Understood, His Majesty gave Zai a map of the secret road, and said to avoid the crowds in the downtown area and take the small path."

After all, it is a secret road in the imperial city, so naturally it cannot be leaked to ordinary people.

After leaving the mansion, Wu Yangyang, who originally came to Ruan's mansion, disappeared except for Li Quanfeng who was still beside Ruan Lan.

"This is..." Ruan Lan looked back for a long time but couldn't find anyone.

Li Quanfeng explained: "These people are the same as me, they are all sergeants on duty that night, but only me is the Habayashi Army, and the rest are secret guards. Since your majesty said to avoid the crowd, their way of acting It could not be better."

Ruan Lan knew it clearly: In other words, those people were just hiding.

Yin Jian's move was very clever, and he actually used people who had been demoted because of Concubine Wei's death. In this way, even if these people were just for their own careers, they had to find out the truth in order to atone for their crimes.

Ruan Lan and Li Quanfeng came to the street unsteadily, pretending to be ordinary people and wandered around for a long time before slowly wandering from the path to their destination.

At this time, outside the secret passage beside the moat, there was an elderly man in white clothes with a kind face and a kind face.

Ruan Lan took a closer look, only to find that the old man was the Daoist Xuan Mo invited by Yin Jian.

There is a large indigo-blue flower bush at the entrance of the secret path, and the wanton blooming petals cover all the dark green branches and leaves. This is the time when the fragrance of flowers is overflowing and the face is full of fragrance.There is a Taoist priest in white clothes with elegant sleeves who is refined and immortal, and the scenery is very beautiful and elegant.

Ruan Lan thought to herself, the last time I came here was too hasty, and the night was already dark, so I really failed to live up to the beautiful scenery.

Taoist Xuan Mo closed his eyes, flicked his wide sleeves, stroked his thick white beard, and said slowly: "Poverty Taoist, now is the time."

It was obviously the first time Li Quanfeng had to deal with Taoist Priest Xuan Mo who behaved strangely, so he couldn't help but be whetted by his words.He didn't bother to ask the old Taoist priest in front of him who was his name, he asked curiously: "I don't know when is the "time" that I talked about? "

Daoist Xuan Mo looked at Li Quanfeng with an expression of "why don't you understand this?" and said, "It was when you all came here..."

"Uh……"

Seeing that Li Quanfeng had been blocked by Daoist Xuanmo, Ruan Lan hurriedly stepped forward to make a rescue: "Daoist, we meet again. I don't know if it's because His Majesty let Daoist..."

Before Ruan Lan finished speaking, Taoist Xuan Mo went directly to the door of the secret way and observed alone: ​​"It's not that His Majesty asked the poor Taoist to come, but the poor Taoist himself wanted to come."

"This..." Li Quanfeng looked at Ruan Lan, "The secret way is related to state secrets after all, so...is it inappropriate?"

Ruan Lan thought to herself: Taoist Xuan Mo has supernatural powers, if he really wants to discover the location and topography of the secret passage in the city wall by himself, it shouldn't be difficult.Daoist Xuan Mo came here this time, maybe he figured out what else is in this secret path...

——That night when he and Bao Qi were in the secret passage, they heard a strange noise, but that sound did not seem to be made by a human being.

Thinking of this, Ruan Lan nodded towards Taoist Xuanmo: "Since the Taoist is willing to help us, then we should be respectful and follow orders." Then she said to Li Quanfeng: "At that time, I will report to Your Majesty that I met Taoist Xuanmo. , will not let the general suffer."

After Li Quanfeng listened, he glanced at Taoist Xuan Mo, and stopped talking.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Taoist Xuan Mo suddenly raised his voice and shouted behind them: "The two on the eaves and the three on the tree, come down quickly."

As soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, Li Quanfeng whistled backwards.

In an instant, five figures flying quickly descended from the sky.

——It was the people who followed Li Quanfeng to Ruan Mansion in the morning.

"Let's go." Daoist Xuan Mo waved his sleeves to a place on the city wall, and a stone door suddenly opened.

Li Quanfeng looked at Ruan Lan in confusion, his eyes seemed to be asking: "How did the map of the secret path leak? Why did this old Taoist know?"
