Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

In a blink of an eye, May is here.

The Xuanji Sect, which had been preparing for the Sword Trial Conference years ago, seemed to be much more lively than in previous years, and the one who had the greatest contrast was Ling Juefeng, the Sword Master Yin Wuchen, who had always been deserted in the Qinghui Mountains.

It's early summer, and the Juggernaut's wedding is approaching.

Although Yin Wuchen didn't do much about this matter, how could the six peaks of Qinghui Mountain not know?

Since last month, the disciples of Liufeng have been busy. In the past few days, guests have come here one after another. Ling Juefeng is no longer peaceful. There are people from Shifang City, people from Zixiao Palace, and Cang Yao There were indeed not many guests in the palace, but the people who came to give gifts were all from powerful backgrounds. Everyone didn't know that Song Yantai and Xie Xuanqing, the city lords of Shifang City, were here.

Those powerful forces gave the Juggernaut face, and the disciples were also honored.

However, many people don't know exactly who Jiansheng Yin is going to form a Taoist partner with. Only a few people have found out that Jiansheng Yin's prospective Taoist partner is a senior disciple of Zixiao Palace, but no one knows the details of this senior disciple. Others suspected it was Xie Ying.

Because I don't know where it is rumored that Yin Jiansheng's Taoist companion is a male disciple.

When Xie Ying came with the masters to give gifts, she met the Qinghuishan Sword Cultivator who was in the Qinghuishan Jiange before. When she was congratulated, she was at a loss. After learning of the misunderstanding, she went back and told Ruan Qiu with horror. Ruan Qiu, Xie Xiaoxiao, Lu Mingfeng and others were all there, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard the rumor.

Yin Wuchen felt like he was stuck in his throat, and he also heard that Ruan Qiu didn't make it public.

When he returned to the room at night, Yin Wuchen used the excuse to reassure Ruan Qiu, and tried his best to let Ruan Qiu know who the big disciple of Zixiao Palace who was about to marry him was. Zun always loves to bully him.

After all, it was the wedding of Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen. In order to support Ruan Qiu, Zixiao Palace sent disciples here as early as mid-April. It was Yan Buping, the Lord of the Fifth Palace, and Xie Ying who came to accompany Ruan Qiu earlier, and Xie Xuanqing also Arrived at Xuanjizong in May.

The wedding dresses of the two were still handed over to Jinxiufang, which has always been friends with Xuanjizong, so Tang Xun, the big shopkeeper, was sent to Xuanjizong by the shadow guards who came to give gifts from Shifang City as early as late April. Two days before the wedding, Song Yantai, the lord of Shifang City, also came in person. However, Cang Yao probably sent Pei Huan back to the master's gate to give congratulatory gifts because it was probably too far away. did not arrive.

Speaking of Pei Huan, I have to mention his master, Qi Yun, the former master of Zangyue Peak. The elders have already discussed the punishment for her mistakes. Because neither Zixiao Palace nor Song Xinting care about it, the betrayal is not counted. Heavy, one thousand lashes, removal of the name of the peak owner, and ordering her to contemplate behind closed doors for 20 years. This is not an unbearable punishment for a monk who thinks he is half-step into a god.

Pei Huan is now a close minister of Emperor Cangyao, and he already has a father who is a general, so he is naturally in a prominent position in Cangyue Peak.When he came back to give presents this time, he first went to see Qi Yun, and then came to look for Ruan Qiu several times, but Ruan Qiu never saw him.

He has a good temper, but for Pei Huan, he neither wants to hear his apology, nor does he want to hear that kind of nonsense that he wants to ask Cang Yaosheng to marry them.In fact, it wasn't that he didn't hear it at the time, he just didn't want to hear it.

This is one of the few times when Ruan Qiu was stingy in these two lifetimes.

He could face his secret calmly, but he couldn't forgive Pei Huan for offending him when he was young, and he would never forgive him.

Pei Huan probably guessed it too, because when he was in Cangyao Palace, he was reprimanded several times by Li Yu, the little emperor, overtly and secretly, and after being refused to see him a few times, he never came again.

Tang Xun is the big shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion, but he can't intervene in making wedding clothes. He only knows how to kill people and settle accounts in his life. He has never touched needlework. He only chooses good-looking clothes. Mother came over to measure Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen's body, and tried it on for them a few times when it was almost done. Two days before the wedding, she sent over the changed wedding dress.

Because the wedding is approaching, Xuanjizong has many more guests who heard the news and came to give gifts, but because Yin Wuchen did not entertain, many people came and left after delivering the gifts. Even so, there were still many outsiders on the mountain, Ruan Qiu The fetus in the womb has been more than five months old, and the pregnancy has already appeared, so the number of times of going out is gradually reduced, and Xie Ying and Lu Mingfeng are usually accompanied by Xie Ying and Lu Mingfeng.

The guests of Shifang City and Zixiao Palace were all arranged to live in the six peaks of Qinghui Mountain, and Tang Xun was the same, and he sent them over after the wedding clothes were changed.Song Yantai happened to arrive at Ling Jue Peak. After greeting Yin Wuchen, he ran into Tang Xun when he came out. Tang Xun gave Yin Wuchen his wedding dress and took him down the mountain to resettle.

But Lin Songfeng came to report that a distinguished guest had arrived suddenly, and Yin Wuchen couldn't get away, so he asked Lu Mingfeng to send the wedding dress to Ruan Qiu first.

At this time, Ruan Qiu was in the Wuji Building to greet Xie Xuanqing and others who had just arrived not long ago. Since returning to Xuanjizong, he naturally accompanied his master to move to the Wuji Building on the top of Lingjuefeng Mountain. The house is not big, and the defensive array is not as good as the Wuji Building on the top of the mountain. His stomach has also grown, so to avoid being disturbed, it is better to live in the Wuji Building.

Seeing that the wedding dress was delivered, everyone asked him to try it on first, and if it still didn't fit, they could ask Tang Xun to take it back and change it.

Ruan Qiu bid farewell to everyone first, and the whole set of wedding dress was put in the box, which was not light. Lu Mingfeng took it, and Xie Ying also sent Ruan Qiu back. The cautious appearance of the two made Ruan Qiu laugh.

Ruan Qiu's belly was already showing when he returned to Xuanjizong earlier, and Lu Mingfeng was awakened by the elder brother long ago, knowing that the prospective wife is the younger brother, and the younger brother has a younger brother in his belly.

This was quite a shock to Lu Mingfeng. He thought carefully about whether he had offended his junior brother before, and then his legs went limp when he saw Ruan Qiu. How could he still be a junior brother?

This is Mistress!

He really called this teacher's wife.

When Ruan Qiuchu heard it for the first time, his face turned red, telling him to shout what he used to say now.Lu Mingfeng knew that his younger brother didn't care about the past with him, but his master was different, so in order not to be punished by his master, he turned to curry favor with Ruan Qiu!

Yin Wuchen has always had a headache for him as the second apprentice, but seeing him as more nervous than himself, Ruan Qiu, running up and down to take care of Ruan Qiu, Yin Wuchen, who had no intention of punishing him, was relieved.

The child in Ruan Qiu's stomach is five months old, and the stomach is also obvious, but he is already thin. During this period of time in Zixiao Palace and Xuanjizong, everyone gave him a lot of supplements, and did not give him any supplements. What kind of meat grows, it grows to the stomach.

The already slender young man in Tsing Yi's belly looked a bit too big, but fortunately, with several layers of wedding clothes covering it, the belly would not be too obvious.

Now Ruan Qiu can move freely, going up and down the mountain is not a problem, after declining the two, he went back to the room alone and changed into the wedding dress.

Most of the popular wedding dresses nowadays are black and red. The wedding of Yin Wuchen and Ruan Qiu was also the wedding of Xuanjizong Qing Huishan Shanzhu and Zixiao Palace disciples. The color is mainly solemn and solemn.

After a few revisions by the embroiderers of Jinxiufang, the wedding dresses on the inner and outer floors fit perfectly. Considering that Ruan Qiu was pregnant, the waist of the wedding dress was a little looser, so as not to strangle her growing belly. If it's not good, it's a little heavy.

After Ruan Qiu tried it, she took off her gold-lined black-bottomed gown and put on a crimson single gown, slowly folded the gown and put it back on the bed.

This room is the apse of the Wuji Building, and it is also Yin Wuchen's bedroom. Now it has been decorated with red candles and replaced with red silk, and it has become a wedding room.

The room had already been covered with red quilts embroidered with twigs. Ruan Qiu took out another wedding dress from the box and put it neatly on the bed. This black wedding dress was slightly different from Ruan Qiu's wedding dress. , only dotted with a few gold threads and bright red on the skirt and hem of the clothes, it looks more solemn.

Ruan Qiu couldn't resist stretching out his hand to caress the soft fabric, imagining how he always likes to look like when he is wearing a white master and wearing this colorful wedding dress, Qiu Shui's eyes are full of anticipation, and he has grown more and more recently The rosy cheeks turned red.

Hearing Lu Mingfeng who was talking to Xie Ying outside the door called Master, Ruan Qiu knew that Yin Wuchen had returned, his eyes lit up slightly, and he tried to open the door with his stomach on his hands. Just as he walked to the door, the cold swordsman in white Just opened the door and came in.

"Xiaoqiu..."

Yin Wuchen's voice paused, looking at Ruan Qiu who had just come out from behind the screen in the bedroom, his eyes were startled, and then his eyes were full of astonishment.

He had never seen Ruan Qiu wearing a red dress, and what Ruan Qiu was wearing was the luxurious wedding dress that Tang Xun spent a lot of time staring at the embroiderer. After a lot of effort, the phoenix embroidered with gold thread was lifelike and extremely gorgeous, which added a bit of beauty and arrogance to this handsome young man who was always dressed in plain clothes.

Yin Wuchen closed the door, locked Lu Mingfeng and Xie Ying out, and walked towards Ruan Qiu, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, he gently supported Ruan Qiu.

"This wedding dress is very good. Shopkeeper Tang has a heart. As a teacher, I almost couldn't recognize the person at first sight. I thought it was someone's young master who went to the wrong room. It turned out to be our Xiaoqiu."

"Master laughed at me again."

Ruan Qiu blushed from what he said. Although he had good physical strength, his stomach was big and his waist would ache after standing for a long time. He leaned on Yin Wuchen's body, and Qiushui glanced into the screen with sparkling eyes, " Master's wedding dress has also been changed."

He wanted to hint to Yin Wuchen to try it too.

Yin Wuchen said with a smile: "Okay, I'll try it later. But now there are some distinguished guests, why don't Xiaoqiu go to meet the guests first?"

Ruan Qiu quickly thought of the honored guests who could make Yin Wuchen come over in person for Ruan Qiu to meet, "Is it Li Yu and Ah Xi who are here?"

Yin Wuchen raised his eyebrows, "Not only."

Ruan Qiu opened his eyes wide, "Holy Empress?"

Yin Wuchen nodded, his smile was still gentle, he helped Ruan Qiu's back and walked towards the door, "I wanted to accompany you, but the Empress Cang Yao said that she wanted to talk to you alone, Xiao Qiu, do you want to go? If you don't want to go, Shall I help you reject the Holy Queen now?"

This is Ruan Qiu's aunt, who came all the way from Cangyao, how could Ruan Qiu not see her?What's more, Li Yu sent a letter some time ago, saying that Cang Yao's state affairs are heavy, and the Holy Empress may not be able to find time to come here, but now that everyone is here, he nodded naturally.

"I go."

Ruan Qiu looked at the wedding dress on her body, and hesitated again, "Where is the holy queen now? I'll go change my clothes first."

Yin Wuchen used to call Cang Yao Holy Empress by her first name, but now that he mentions it, he rarely calls out Holy Empress respectfully. Seeing that Ruan Qiu has a belly half as big as Cuju and is busy changing clothes, He helplessly stopped people.

"Don't be too busy. The Holy Empress has already arrived outside the door. It is inconvenient for her to leave the palace. This time, she is here as the Taiqing Palace. The fewer people who know about it, the better." Yin Wuchen never took his eyes off Ruan Qiu after entering the door. , When persuading Ruan Qiu, he was somewhat selfish, "The clothes are so beautiful, and I am not in a hurry to change them. The teacher likes them very much, and I want to take another look."

When Ruan Qiu saw her aunt for the first time, she was a little nervous at first, but when Yin Wuchen said this, Qiu Shui's eyes were slightly moistened with shame.

Ruan Qiu avoids Yin Wuchen's unabashed gaze of love and goes out with him.Lu Mingfeng and Xie Ying had already been sent away by Yin Wuchen, there were only two people outside the door, Li Yu was standing in the gazebo talking with a woman in black, he could only see the back from a distance.

Her back is tall, thin and straight, with a fortitude no less than that of a man. She only wears an ebony hairpin, but she is full of dignity.

When Li Yu was in front of her, he had an obedient expression on his face, and when he was talking to her, he even bent over slightly, which showed that this was Cang Yao's holy queen.

Gu Lanyin.

When Yin Wuchen helped him to the outside of the gazebo, Li Yu and Gu Lan turned around and saw Gu Lanyin's face clearly, Ruan Qiu was in a daze for a moment, thinking that he saw his mother.

He never thought that the Holy Empress would be so similar to his mother, Gu Lanjun. He always remembered his mother's appearance, she was heroic and beautiful, and the Holy Empress Gu Lanjun also had the same heroic spirit as her mother, but her eyebrows and eyes were more beautiful. A little more dignified and solemn.

Ruan Qiu's heart trembled, and he immediately returned to his senses, subconsciously respecting him.

But seeing a flash of surprise in Li Yu's eyes, he couldn't hold back his voice, "My cousin looks really good-looking, Queen Mother, don't you think so?"

Gu Lanjun was also looking at Ruan Qiu, and when he heard this, his slightly frowned brows relaxed, and his brows and eyes added a bit of tenderness, "You are Ruan Qiu."

Her voice was not as clear as that of ordinary women, but rather hoarse and deep.

But when she smiled, she looked a lot like Gu Lanjun. Ruan Qiu wanted to get close to her, but became nervous again. He took his hand from Yin Wuchen's support and bowed to Gu Lanyin solemnly.

"Ruan Qiu met the Holy Queen."

Li Yu looked at Gu Lanyin, hesitated to speak, seemed dissatisfied with the title, and frowned at Ruan Qiu.

Ruan Qiu pursed his lips belatedly, but the Holy Empress was so powerful that he was embarrassed to call out "auntie" abruptly.

Gu Lanyin saw it, and glanced at Li Yu with a smile in her eyes. Li Yu immediately looked away and coughed lightly, "Queen, I have something to say to Yin Jiansheng, why don't you talk to your cousin first?"

Ruan Qiu looked at them eagerly, and saw Yin Wuchen nodded, Gu Lanyin also nodded with a smile, Li Yu and Yin Wuchen left first.

Ruan Qiu and Gu Lanyin were the only ones left inside and outside the gazebo. Ruan Qiu became more and more nervous. Seeing Gu Lanyin's face like his mother's, he wanted to talk to each other again, so he frequently raised his eyes to peek at each other.

Since Gu Lan has reached the peak of transformation, she can't pretend not to notice Ruan Qiu's peeping. She walked towards Ruan Qiu first, "Li Yu just wanted to remind you that you called me wrong."

Ruan Qiu originally thought that she was the holy queen who controlled the court of Cang Yao, and she must have great power. Even if they were related by blood, he could not disrespect her, but when there were only two of them, Gu Lanyin did not put on airs, his eyes lit up , secretly happy.

"aunt."

This aunt's voice made Gu Lanyin's smile a little bitter, she lowered her eyes to Ruan Qiu's stomach, "How old is the child?"

Ruan Qiu didn't know whether Gu Lanyin was happy or unhappy, and was afraid of calling the wrong one, so she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, "It's been more than five months."

Seeing him clenching his sleeves tightly, Gu Lan understood it, and said with a gentle smile, "Don't be afraid, I just thought of your mother, you are very similar to her. I have heard Yu'er talk about you, It's a pity that I couldn't see her for the last time, and I asked her to work hard for me when she was seriously injured, if I had known that she was already seriously ill at that time, I would definitely have kept her in Cang Yao."

Speaking of mother, Ruan Qiu's smile faded a bit, "It's not my aunt's fault, Cang Yao was in turmoil at that time, and my aunt's situation was not good."

Gu Lanyin asked: "Is this what she told you?"

Ruan Qiu saw that she seemed to be very concerned, thought for a while, and then said: "That year, my mother also took me to Cangyao Capital, and told me that I came to see my aunt, but when I left, she said that my aunt and cousin were in a bad situation at home. Difficult, let me visit again in the future.”

Gu Lanyin was thoughtful, "This seems to be something my sister would say." She asked again: "Then, what did my sister say before she left?"

Recalling that my mother didn't seem to have said anything about my aunt before she died. It can be seen that Gu Lanyin's eyes seemed to have expectations, so Ruan Qiu said: "Mother only said in the letter that my aunt was in a difficult situation and told me to go to Zixiao Palace. But occasionally When talking about my aunt, I often told me that my aunt is the only sister of my mother, so I promised my mother that if there is a chance in the future, I will visit my aunt."

Gu Lan couldn't tell that Ruan Qiu was comforting her, she shook her head with a smile, and turned back to the gazebo.Ruan Qiu followed up without knowing why, only then realized that his aunt was not short, and was almost taller than him, but his mind was not here, and he thought it was because his mother didn't leave anything for his aunt, which disappointed her , I was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I just miss my sister all of a sudden." Gu Lanyin sighed softly, looking out of the gazebo with a little absent-minded eyes.The Wuji Building is located on the top of the mountain. Looking down the mountain from the pavilion, you have a wide view, and you can have a panoramic view of the six peaks of Qinghui and Huizhou.

Ruan Qiu likes to look at the scenery here on weekdays. It's early summer, and it's getting hotter. With the gentle mountain breeze, it doesn't feel too cold.

"The Six Peaks of Huizhou in Qing Dynasty is a good place."

Gu Lanyin suddenly sighed with emotion, she didn't know what to think of, she turned her head to look at Ruan Qiu, and asked softly, "I'll call you Xiaoqiu too, how about it?"

Ruan Qiu's ears turned red, "Of course."

Gu Lan stared at him for a while, and seemed to see Gu Lanjun through him, her eyes became softer, "You are a good boy, and your sister's only child. In front of your aunt, you don't have to be polite, and you don't have to look outside. It's family."

It seems that my aunt doesn't hate him?

Ruan Qiu was overjoyed, and his face became more and more well-behaved.

Gu Lanyin looked at him, her eyes were bent, and she said with a smile: "Xiaoqiu, do you have a lot to ask your aunt? Then ask."

Ruan Qiu couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw through her mind. He had a lot of questions to ask, such as what happened to his mother before, but it didn't seem important. He didn't know where to start asking. : "Is Ah Xi here too?"

Gu Lanyin's expression became much softer, "Here I am too. However, Master Li has been taking care of her all these years. I have to repay this kindness. I have already asked Lan Cui to take her to meet Master Li first. God, she should come to see you right away. During this period of time, she often talked to me about you in the palace, and before she came to see you today, she was afraid that I would not like you. "

She smiled helplessly, "It's the same with that child Yu'er. Before going up the mountain, he told me a lot of good things about you. I know you saved Yu'er before and helped Ah Xi a lot. It's all from your brothers." Fate, you have my sister's blood on your body, and you are my sister's only flesh and blood, as a sister, how could I not like her child?"

Ruan Qiu was really afraid that the Holy Empress would dislike him, especially...he secretly touched his swollen belly. He had thought before that if his aunt saw that he was pregnant with a child, she might feel strange. But after the meeting, Gu Lanyin obviously didn't show this kind of behavior, and just asked a question lightly, which made him really unable to guess the mind of the Cang Yao Holy Queen.

"It seems that Ah Xi already knows about her background."

Gu Lanyin still smiled, "I know that you practiced with her, so you must be worried about her. I can't announce her identity, so I can only consider her as a righteous daughter for the time being. She will practice in the Taiqing Palace in the future. With her senior brother You don't need to worry about Lan Xie."

Ruan Qiu nodded, "That's good."

"Someone cares so much about my child, I'm also happy for Axi and Yu'er." Gu Lan knew that Ruan Qiu had a lot to ask, so she directly pointed it out, "Do you want to ask Xiaoqiu? I am the Queen Mother Cangyao. How could there be a child like Axi?"

Ruan Qiu really wanted to know, but when he saw Gu Lanyin's gentle eyebrows and eyes when he mentioned Axi and Li Yu, he remembered the way his mother looked at him when he was young.Thinking that his aunt treats his children the same as his mother treats him, he shook his head, "Auntie treats them well, so I have nothing to ask. I just hope that with their company, my aunt can be happy too."

Gu Lanyin was stunned for a moment, and then said relievedly: "Yu'er really didn't misunderstand the person. You are a handsome and intelligent child, and you are gentle and considerate. No wonder he and Axi like you so much. Unlike your mother, she used to always Love contradicts me."

Because it was a secret of the Cangyao royal family, Li Yu didn't want to talk about it for the sake of his mother's reputation. He thought that his aunt was in a difficult situation back then, and he might not have had a good time, so he couldn't bear to expose her scars.But when it comes to mother, Ruan Qiu is always curious, and his eyes become brighter.

"Auntie, would you like to tell me about my mother?"

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you." Gu Lanyin glanced at his stomach, "It's better to sit down first, you are heavy, don't stand for a long time."

Ruan Qiu's cheeks were slightly red, and he sat down obediently while supporting his big belly.

Gu Lanyin sat next to her with a dignified posture, and she couldn't find any faults. It was obvious that she had practiced in the Cangyao Palace for decades.She thought for a while, with a look of nostalgia on her face, "Your mother, I watched you grow up. I am five years older than her. When she was 14 years old, our parents left, and I traveled with her to Cangyao. At that time, there was turmoil inside Cang Yao, and there were disasters from the demon race outside, gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and corpses were everywhere, my sister and I watched it all the way, and we all felt quite enlightened."

"But there are always differences between us. I want to stay in Cangyao to quell the turmoil. I think that if the people can live and work in peace and contentment, there won't be so many sad things. And I am only one person, even if I have cultivation I couldn't stand up to thousands of troops, so I went to the capital of Cangyao. My sister also sympathized with the suffering people, thinking that the culprit was those people in Cangyao who were in high positions but had a vegetarian diet. , because there are countless capable people around her to protect her, she wanted to become stronger, so she went to Zixiao Palace, and wanted a sword master to be her teacher. Occasionally, I exchange letters, and I also know that she has indeed worshiped under the sword master and became one of the five sons of Zixiao."

Speaking of Gu Lanjun's younger sister, Gu Lanyin always smiled helplessly.

"However, Zongmen and Cangyao Kingdom are different after all. After entering Zixiao Palace, my sister also wrote me a letter at first, telling me to wait a little longer, and then she can come back to help me. After that, she will concentrate on practicing and then give me a letter." It has been many years since I wrote the letter. She would write to me when she formed the alchemy and broke through the Nascent Soul, but when she really entered the Nascent Soul stage, Cang Yao's war was at peace, and I, too, became Cang Yao's queen. My younger sister sent a letter to admit defeat to me, and that was the first time she surrendered to me."

Ruan Qiu never thought that the differences between her aunt and mother were so different. In fact, they chose different paths, but their original intentions were the same.

"Later, something happened suddenly in Zixiao Palace, my sister disappeared, and Cang Yao's war against demons reached the most critical moment. I couldn't help her, and she couldn't help me, and she never wrote to me asking for help. I couldn't escape. When she left, she could only send someone to Zixiao Palace to find out about her. When there was finally news, she had already left Zixiao Palace. When she wrote to me again, she said that she was married and had a child, but she It was the first time having a baby and she didn't know what to do."

Ruan Qiu had laughed at the innocuous differences between the two sisters before, but when he heard this, his heart sank slightly, "Did you meet again later?"

"I've seen it."

Gu Lanyin smiled lightly, "My sister has never begged me for anything, but it was my sister who begged her first. Because of Yu'er's safety, and Axi. I knew she would come because she is my own sister." , she did come and saved Yu'er."

"Since we separated when we were young, that was the first time we met again." Gu Lanyin sighed: "At that time, the palace had just calmed down. Li Changzhou took away the newborn Axi without saying a word, and his sister also quietly left. I want to protect Yu'er, so I can only write to her, but my sister never wrote back to me, never thought about that farewell, and I will never see her again in this life."

Ruan Qiu's heart sank, seeing that her tone was calm, but her eyes were flushed, so she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to her, "Don't be sad, aunt, mother is already injured, she knows that her time is short , then when I go back, besides saving you and Li Yu, Cang Yao also wants to entrust me to you. She will leave quietly, but seeing that my aunt and Li Yu are in a difficult situation, she doesn't want my aunt to worry about our mother and son anymore."

Gu Lan raised her hand and declined, "I know, I made Xiaoqiu laugh at me, but I only have this younger sister..." After all, she is the Empress Cang Yao, and countless pairs of eyes looked at her in the past, so she lowered her head and blinked slightly. He blinked, took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, his face was still calm and calm, "I haven't waited for her reply for so many years, I actually guessed it later, and sent someone to look for you. Because Cangyao is too far away, and I have not been able to find your whereabouts. In fact, when she was just pregnant, I also let her bring the child to Cangyao."

Hearing this, Ruan Qiu fell silent, he thought of the reason why his mother Gu Lanjun didn't take him to Cangyao, because of his body.

Gu Lanyin calmed down for a while, and her tone returned to her previous calm. She looked at Ruan Qiu, and gently raised her hand to cover Ruan Qiu's lower abdomen. Spiritual power surged from her palm, and Ruan Qiu froze, looking at him in astonishment. Gu Lanyin dared not move.

"Don't be afraid, I want to see the child."

Gu Lanyin quickly withdrew her spiritual power, Ruan Qiu saw her nodding her head, bent her lips and smiled relievedly, and also heaved a sigh of relief for no reason.

"The kid is fine."

When Gu Lanyin withdrew his hand, Ruan Qiu's cheeks were already blushing, and he lowered his head slightly uncomfortably, "Thank you, Auntie."

Gu Lan was a little startled when she saw that the tips of his white and jade-like ears were turning red, but when she saw Li Yu approaching from a distance, she couldn't help but feel a little headache, "Your cousin really is, probably because he is afraid that we will not have a good chat, It's already started urging me."

After being reminded by her, Ruan Qiu saw Li Yu approaching from a distance pretending to be calm, and he was secretly relieved to see a familiar person.Seeing that Gu Lanyin stood up, he also supported his stomach and got up. He was about to speak, but Gu Lanyin hugged him gently.

Ruan Qiu's whole body froze because of the faint and indifferent sandalwood.

"aunt?"

Gu Lan was also stunned when she saw Li Yu in the distance, she shook her head, and lightly grasped Ruan Qiu's wrist with incredible strength.

"Don't be afraid, we are actually the same."

When Ruan Qiu was finally let go, her cheeks were already flushed, and she forgot to react when she heard the strange words, only her face was at a loss.

Gu Lan had a sudden urge to bully him, so she couldn't bear it. With a smile in her eyes, she said in a low voice: "There is something I haven't even told your mother, but when I saw you today, I always felt that I should tell you. Since my grandfather's generation, our Gu family has had a curse, and the children born are either male or female. My father is like this. He spent his whole life trying to break the curse, and finally broke the curse. But I was already born at that time, This curse still left some problems. My parents asked me to take good care of my sister before they died. If the curse is still there, it will only be on the children born to my sister and me. Only this generation will be affected, and only one child will be like me Yu'er's birth was an accident, but he was fine, and later my sister told me that she was pregnant, so I guessed that the remaining spell fell on you."

Ruan Qiu's complexion suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Gu Lanyin with wide eyes, so Gu Lanyin also had a curse on her body, and so did she... He panicked, and touched his stomach with trembling hands.

"Then, my child..."

Seeing Li Yu getting closer, Gu Lan pressed the back of Ruan Qiu's hand and asked Ruan Qiu to look up at her, Ruan Qiu felt relieved for some reason.

Gu Lanyin shook her head and said, "Don't worry, as my father said, nothing will happen after you and me. I checked your child just now. He looks good and has not been affected by the curse. Wipe away the remaining spells on you."

As soon as Ruan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body became weak, his back was chilly, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Gu Lan supported him steadily because of his great strength.Ruan Qiu looked up at Gu Lanyin, but saw that her collar was a little high, and an inconspicuous Adam's apple could actually be seen on her fair and slender neck. Thinking back to her voice and demeanor, he already believed her words .

"Then my mother..."

"My younger sister didn't know. I urged her in a letter to send the child here. She is so smart, so she might have guessed it."

Gu Lanyin smiled wryly, "It's a pity that I have tied my lifeline and Cangyao's dragon veins together. As long as I live for a day, Cangyao will not have too much turmoil, but I can't leave Cangyao easily in this life, otherwise ...Xiao Qiu, I'm sorry."

Ruan Qiu didn't blame Gu Lanyin, he grabbed Gu Lanyin's slender wrist in shock, "You actually dedicated your life to Cang Yao..." He looked at Li Yu suddenly, and when he looked at Gu Lanyin again, he saw her The exhaustion and paleness between the brows could not be concealed, and there was a pain in his heart. He bit his lip, but still couldn't help it, and said in a low voice and eagerly: "Then Li Yu and Axi, do they know?"

Gu Lanyin smiled meaninglessly, "They don't need to know, I just stick to it and want to fulfill the oath I made when I first came to Cangyao. Xiaoqiu, help me hide it from them, okay?"

Ruan Qiu said distressedly: "You will be tired too."

Dedicating one's own lifeline to the fate of the country, this kind of sacrifice method is unimaginable, it should be a forbidden technique in ancient methods, but because Gu Lan used this forbidden technique on the right path, she has indeed stabilized Cang Yao's ten-year peace, But she herself will be very tired...

"Yes."

Gu Lanyin didn't deny it, he looked at Ruan Qiu at the moment, with a bit of shame on his face, "I don't want to keep too many secrets, when I saw you, I knew we were the same people, those things that I didn't tell my sister , I also really want to tell you. Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged it, and now it’s just the avatar. Cang Yao will be fine, I’m going to leave soon.”

Ruan Qiu understands that a person who is too tired needs to confide in others. He cannot influence Gu Lanyin's choice, but he also admires Gu Lanyin's consistent belief.He would not persuade Gu Lanyin to stay, let alone persuade her to let go of Cang Yao.

"Li Yu... will guard Cang Yao well in the future."

Speaking of Li Yu, Gu Lanyin smiled, her eyes were full of tenderness and comfort, "Maybe, Yu'er is a good boy, maybe ten or a hundred years later, then I will be able to let go."

Ruan Qiu nodded vigorously, it must be so.

He looked at Gu Lanyin again, "Uncle..."

He wanted to change his words, but Gu Lanyin said first: "I understand your heart. Yu'er will have to bear too much in the future. Let's not tell him about these small things, okay?"

Ruan Qiu could only nod, "Okay, Auntie."

The aunt in his body shouted extremely heavily.

"it is good."

Gu Lanyin responded with a smile, and helped him to sit down, "The child is fine. After the birth, remember to bring him to Cangyao to see me. If someone bullies you, ask your cousin to help."

Ruan Qiu heard her meaning that she would not show up at the sword test meeting, and promised worriedly, "We will definitely go."

Gu Lanyin said with a smile: "Don't make a sour face, just smile. Like your mother always told me back then, you should smile more when you are obviously good-looking. Now I will tell you back."

Li Yu had already approached, and it was like what a mother would say, Ruan Qiu took a deep breath, blinked, and smiled.

Gu Lanyin also smiled, and looked at him with a deep meaning that only the two of them could understand, so she walked out of the gazebo without hesitation and walked towards Li Yu.Ruan Qiu watched their mother and son walk away, but her heart was heavy, until after the two left and Ruan Qiu couldn't see their backs, she let out a long sigh.

He suddenly felt very fortunate that he had a master, and there were so many people who cared about him, so the suffering in the past was nothing.

The twilight merged, the sky was getting late, and the brilliant golden glow reflected on Lingjue Peak, sending Gu Lanyin and Li Yu on the mountain road away slowly.

Ruan Qiu blew on the wind for a while to calm down, and when he got up to go back, he heard a soft call from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Yin Wuchen——Yin Wuchen also changed into that heavy black and solemn wedding dress, standing in the gazebo outside.

Ruan Qiu couldn't help being stunned, "Master?"

Yin Wuchen walked towards him with a smile, supported him and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Is it that obvious?"

Ruan Qiu rubbed his face, and quickly took a look at his master again. This wedding dress really made his master look more handsome.It's a pity that his hair is gray, and he looks colder and colder, but he still looks good. He stared straight at him, and hugged Yin Wuchen tightly.

"Master."

Yin Wuchen had no choice but to hug him, gently supported his waist with one hand, and said with a smile: "It's because the teacher is dressed too ugly, Xiaoqiu can't stand it anymore?"

Ruan Qiu frowned, looked up at him, and retorted seriously, "Master is pretty."

With a smile in Yin Wuchen's eyes, he raised his hand to hold the sapphire hairpin in Ruan Qiu's hair.

"I heard that the Holy Empress is busy, so she has already left, but Li Yu and Lan Cui will stay. Is Xiaoqiu sad because of this?"

Ruan Qiu shook his head, "It's okay." He won't tell anyone about Gu Lanyin.

He grabbed Yin Wuchen's hand, and habitually leaned into Yin Wuchen's arms, "We will get married in the future, master, the uncle said, let me move down the mountain tomorrow morning."

Xie Xuanqing's idea is to let them separate for a while before getting married, and on the wedding day, Yin Wuchen will take Ruan Qiu to the wedding room.

"Senior Brother also told me the same, but let me go, you stay safe on the mountain.
