Yue Xianren began to retreat, staying in Yunjing's room all day long, ignoring worldly affairs except for occasionally feeling Qingling's pulse and making medicine.

Yun Jing said that Yue Xianren was studying a new prescription, and Liu Ninghuan guessed that Yue Xianren was studying the poison on Qing Ling.

Some ulterior expectations arose in Liu Ninghuan's heart, whenever Yue Xianren felt Qing Ling's pulse, Liu Ninghuan would lean against the door and watch.

Immortal Yue instructed Qingling to say a few words, and then stuck a needle in Qingling's arm. Qingling would show an expression of extreme pain, and the blood on her face would fade away in an instant, as if she was going to die in the next second.

Liu Ninghuan's heart rose to her throat, she unconsciously tightened the corner of her clothes, and then watched as Qingling really passed out.

Liu Ninghuan ran into the room and hurriedly said to Immortal Yue: "How is she? Is she okay?"

Yue Xianren ignored her and just continued to get the needle.Liu Ninghuan was very anxious, but she couldn't do anything, she could only look at Qingling's body anxiously, trying her best to tell if she was still breathing.

After a while, Qing Ling woke up leisurely, with sweat still dripping on her forehead, and her complexion was still as white as paper.

Qingling smiled happily at Liu Ning and said, "I want to drink water."

Liu Ninghuan quickly turned around to pour water.

Yue Xianren said in a flat tone: "Don't think too much."

When Liu Ninghuan came back after pouring the water, she saw that Qingling's complexion had returned to normal.Qingling took a small sip of water, and then said to Liu Ninghuan, "Thank you."

Yue Xianren said: "Keep the previous state, don't hide it."

Qingling glanced at Liu Ninghuan, then looked away, and said bitterly, "Sorry, I can't control it."

As soon as she woke up and saw that Liu Ninghuan was so worried, Qing Ling subconsciously hid her pain and gaffe, which was almost instinctive, even more instinctive than the pain caused by seeing a charm.

Immortal Yue turned his head and said to Liu Ninghuan rather coldly, "Go out."

Liu Ninghuan:?

Yue Xianren said: "You are here, it will affect the healing."

Liu Ninghuan: ...

Liu Ninghuan had no choice but to turn around and leave the room, and finally looked at Qingling hesitantly.She wanted to say something, but felt that nothing was enough.Seeing the charm must be solved, so this pain must be experienced.She can't persuade anything.

On the contrary, Qing Ling smiled at Liu Ning and said, "Don't go too far, I can't bear it anymore, I'll call your name."

Liu Ninghuan paused, and said, "Yes."

Because of Qingling's words, Liu Ninghuan didn't dare to go to Sister Wen's house.But even with these words, Qing Ling didn't call out to Liu Ninghuan.

While waiting, Liu Ninghuan was in a daze aimlessly, thinking about Qing Ling every minute.

When Yue Xianren finally came out, Liu Ninghuan walked into the room immediately.

Qing Ling was lying on the bed with needles all over her body.Liu Ninghuan took a closer look and found at least ten needles stuck in her face, Qingling couldn't move, only her eyes could move.

After Liu Ninghuan appeared, Qingling kept looking at her.

Liu Ninghuan said, "Does it hurt?"

Qingling's eyeballs rolled left and right to express the meaning of "no pain".

Liu Ninghuan said, "Jianmei... can it be cured?"

Qingling looked up and down, then left and right, and Liu Ninghuan guessed that this was to express the meaning of "unsure".

Thinking of Jianmei, Liu Ninghuan thought of Zhao Zhan, and then Qing Ling's plan.Liu Ning sighed happily, and murmured: "Is it really possible..."

With just such vague words, Qingling was silent for a while, but said, "I don't know."

Liu Ninghuan was surprised: "Can you talk?"

Then why did she shake her head so hard just now, making Liu Ninghuan have a hard time guessing.

Qing Ling said: "I want you to look at me."

Before Liu Ninghuan could speak, Qingling said again: "I'm very scared."

Liu Ninghuan subconsciously answered, "What are you afraid of?"

Qingling said: "Zhao Zhan is very cautious and strong. I am afraid that I will fail, and I am also afraid that you will be involved."

Liu Ninghuan fell silent.

When she saw Lingfeng Qingyun calmly said the plan, Liu Ninghuan thought that she had already made up her mind.Unexpectedly, Qingling would also be worried and nervous, which made Qingling become more like a person.

After a while, Liu Ninghuan said: "You are the protagonist, you will not fail."

Qingling smiled silently, and said, "If Yunjing wants to take you away, will you leave?"

Liu Ninghuan said, "Why did she take me away?"

Qing Ling did not answer this question, but said to herself: "I was very angry when you escaped from the rouge shop that day. I was afraid that I would never find you again. At that time, I swore that if I saw you next time When I see you, I must tie you firmly to my side, and never let you take a step away."

"When I found out that you were with Yunjing, I was also very angry. I hope she will never appear by your side again...but if one day she wants to take you away, I hope you promise her. Because I am afraid that I will fail."

Qingling looked at Liu Ninghuan and said, "If my plan comes true, I'll take you back again."

Looking at Qingling's eyes, Liu Ninghuan actually understood Qingling's struggle and worry.She avoided Qingling's gaze and said, "You can't catch me."

Qingling was silent for a while, then said, "That's fine."

Qingling's tone was a bit sad, Liu Ninghuan's heart moved, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it after all.

After a while, Qing Ling said: "I'm going to rest, you go out."

Liu Ninghuan hesitated for a while, but went out anyway.Before going out, he said: "I will guard the door. If you feel uncomfortable, you can call my name."

Qing Ling said: "No, you can go to Sister Wen's house. I just asked you to stay outside, just to make you miss me all the time."

Liu Ninghuan paused for a moment, thinking: Then why are you letting me go now?

Once he started to think about this question, Liu Ninghuan had the illusion that he had stepped into the trap again.She forcibly held back the desire to say something, and left the cottage.

Every move and every word of Qingling can make Liu Ninghuan's mood fluctuate endlessly.To be honest, this is not a good phenomenon.

The stove was fully heated, and Qiu Xin entered the palace wearing the thinnest autumn shirt, and handed over the coat to the eunuch as soon as he arrived in the palace.

But it was still hot, and even the air was filled with the smell of a fire.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Zhan said, "The news came from the border. A Miaolu admitted that he had captured Mu Shan and wanted to make peace with us."

Qiu Xin stood in the center of the hall, and Zhao Zhanping retreated all the eunuchs and maids, but he didn't get closer to Qiu Xin.Zhao Zhan seems to be used to being superior, used to keeping a distance from everyone, and used to making everyone fear her.

After Zhao Zhan ascended the throne, Prime Minister Qiu paid the price for his previous firm standing in line. Zhao Zhan found a random reason to exile Prime Minister Qiu, and then promoted Qiu Xin.Qiu Xin stood on Zhao Zhan's side when he had no right to speak in the family. In this case, Zhao Zhan let Qiu Xin hold the right to speak in the family.

Qingling may be the closest person to Zhao Zhan, but their master and servant can only be wary of each other.Qiu Xin sees these things clearly, so he doesn't mistakenly think that he has gained Zhao Zhan's trust.

Qiu Xin said: "At present, the internal situation of the Altaic people is unclear. Who is Amulu representing to make peace with us? Needless to say, General Mu's status in Zhao State, can other people allow her to release General Mu back?"

"Amiaolu also attached a condition: she wants to marry, and she also specified that she wants to marry Princess Zhao. Aiqing thinks, what does she mean by this?" Zhao Zhan said playfully.

Qiu Xin showed a surprised expression, and said: "Amiaolu, what does this mean? There is no princess in Zhao State, how could she not know, but ask for marriage..."

Zhao Zhan smiled and said: "I specified that I want a 'princess', Aiqing thinks that even if I have a younger sister and a daughter, with A Miaolu's character, can she accept a princess who is not a real princess?"

Qiu Xin was startled, and said, "What does the emperor mean, that Amulu wants Princess Pingzhen? But Princess Pingzhen two years ago...how should I..."

After Zhao Ninghuan disappeared two years ago, the capital fell into a depressive atmosphere for half a year.During those six months, everyone knew that there was something hidden about Princess Pingzhen's disappearance, but no one could mention Princess Pingzhen's name.Qingling led a team to turn the capital upside down, and took the opportunity to clean up many "princess party remnants".Half a year later, Zhao Zhan suddenly announced that Princess Pingzhen had died of illness, and built a tomb for Princess Pingzhen.

Since then, according to official records, Princess Pingzhen has died.But anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows that Zhao Ninghuan ran away.As for where he went, I don't know.

Zhao Zhan smiled and said nothing, Qiu Xin followed Zhao Zhan's meaning, "guessed" and said: "Could it be that A Miaolu has grasped the whereabouts of the princess and wants to exchange Mu Shan for the princess? But she proposed this transaction through the official document, which shows that A Miaolu Miao Lu believes that the princess is within our grasp."

When Qiu Xin said this, he didn't continue.She could think of this, how could Zhao Zhan not think of it?Zhao Zhan just needs Qiu Xin to help her say these words.

But if you talk too much, it becomes a boundary again.Qiu Xin carefully grasped this boundary.

The so-called companion is like a tiger, that's it.

Zhao Zhan pondered, the fire in the hall became more intense, Qiu Xin even felt that his breathing was not smooth, but Zhao Zhan did not show any discomfort.

Qiu Xin did not speak, waiting for Zhao Zhan to give the final conclusion.

A piece of charcoal fire was burnt out, and when the palace servants came in to replace the charcoal fire, Zhao Zhan finally spoke.

"Go somewhere with me."

Qiu Xin bowed and said, "Yes."

She didn't ask where it was because she had already guessed it.

……

Brother Wen just came back from the town, and he said to Sister Wen in amazement: "It's strange, so many officers and soldiers have come down from the foot of the mountain!"

Sister Wen said nervously: "Huh? Officers and soldiers? Are they suppressing bandits? But there are no bandits in our mountains."

Brother Wen said: "I saw the magistrate. The magistrate is waiting respectfully aside. He doesn't look like a bandit. The carriage is very gorgeous! Is there any noble person who came to visit us here?"

"What fun do we have here..." Sister Wen muttered as she went to cook.

Liu Ninghuan was playing with Dachun and Xiaoxia. Hearing this conversation, he stood up frowning, walked to Brother Wen, and asked, "What kind of carriage is it?"

Brother Wen described the color scheme and scale of the carriage, and Liu Ninghuan had an idea: Zhao Zhan is here.

Qingling is "studying medicine" here, and Zhao Zhan came here in less than two months. Why?Could it be...Zhao Zhan already knew about Qingling's plan?

Liu Ninghuan asked Brother Wen: "How long has the carriage been parked at the foot of the mountain?"

Brother Wen thought for a while and said, "I saw a lot of horse manure, it must have been a while."

Liu Ninghuan did some calculations and thought that Zhao Zhan might have already gone up the mountain.At this time, if he appeared in front of Zhao Zhan, it would not only threaten his own safety, but also implicate Yun Jing, Qing Ling, and even Brother Wen's family.

Liu Ninghuan thought for a while, and said to Brother Wen, "Brother Wen, lend me a sickle and a straw basket, and I will go to the mountains to gather herbs."

Brother Wen said: "Don't you need to tell Yun Xianren?"

Liu Ninghuan said: "If she asks about me, just say that I went to the pavilion on the north side of the mountain."

There is an abandoned pavilion on the north side of the mountain. Liu Ninghuan and Yun Jing used to rest there when they were gathering herbs.

If Zhao Zhan really came to the door, as long as Brother Wen passed on the message, Yun Jing should understand the importance and know when to go to him.

Brother Wen said, "Okay."

Liu Ninghuan took the straw basket and sickle and went up the mountain silently.

……

When Zhao Zhan and Qiu Xin appeared in front of the thatched cottage together, Yun Jing was very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Seeing Yun Jing's reaction, Qiu Xin shook his head silently.

I was so flustered, I could tell there was a ghost at first glance.Even if Zhao Zhan didn't notice anything unusual before, he still doubts it now.

There was a messy sound in the hut, and after a while, Qing Ling with needles stuck in her body appeared in front of Zhao Zhan.Qingling made a gesture to kneel, Zhao Zhan stepped forward, supported Qingling and said, "There is no need to be too polite."

Then he asked with concern: "Qingling, are you sick?"

Qing Ling said: "I met an assassin while climbing the mountain, and was unfortunately injured. Fortunately, Yue Xianren and Miss Yun were there. When I took my pulse, Yue Xianren discovered that I had an old disease, so he gave me an injection. It looked terrible, but Your Majesty need not worry."

Zhao Zhan said, "Assassin? What assassin?"

"Weichen suspects that the assassin was sent by Amulu. I have attached the details in the letter, and Feige sent the letter to the capital." Qingling was a little surprised: "Why, the emperor didn't receive it? That minister has another letter, did you not receive it, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Zhan didn't change his expression at all, and said, "Maybe something went wrong on the way. Since I'm here, these are trivial things. I'll look into it when I get back."

Zhao Zhan let go of Qing Ling and walked around the cottage.There are only two rooms in the hut, one is full of medical skills, herbs, and medicine stoves, and the other has a desk, a storybook, and a grasshopper made of grass.

Zhao Zhan picked up the grasshopper and looked at it casually. After a while, he put down the grasshopper and sighed.

Qingling said: "What is the emperor troubled about? Can I help you solve one or two problems?"

Zhao Zhan said: "I came here to visit you. I originally wanted to take a tour of the mountains and rivers to relieve my worries. But when you said Amulu, it aroused my anxiety. You know that Mu Shan was captured by Amulu Is it?"

Qingling was surprised and said, "I don't know."

"Miss Qing Ling is practicing medicine here, and she doesn't know much about the changes in the outside world. It's normal." Qiu Xin said a few words for Qing Ling, and then told Qing Ling everything that happened these days. Including the capture of Mu Shan, including the sending of envoys by Amulu, saying that they want to negotiate a peace, including the condition of "marriage with Princess Zhao".

When Qiu Xin was talking, Zhao Zhan kept looking at Ling.Even if I went to see Qing Ling with the idea of ​​"proving something", I couldn't pick out any faults from her expression.

Qingling's performance was too perfect, but such perfection should not exist in this world.Is she really innocent, or is she too good at hiding herself?

Is it unacceptable to lose a completely loyal subordinate?Is it tolerable to let go of a perfect alien?Zhao Zhan didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was weighing in his heart.

At this moment, Qing Ling turned her eyes away, and looked at Zhao Zhan with extremely devout eyes.There was an unspoken admiration in this look, and it was this look that made Zhao Zhan dispel the idea of ​​"rather killing by mistake than letting it go".

The woman in front of her is not just a subordinate.She has been by her side since she was a child, and she loves herself with all her heart.

Love is the most binding thing, maybe... Qingling can stay for a while longer.

Qingling looked at Zhao Zhan and said, "If the emperor wants to return to General Mu, then I can relieve your worries."

Zhao Zhan said: "Oh? What are you going to do? I have no kinship, no compatriots or children, where can I conjure up a princess to marry Amulu? Or, I can also recognize someone as my sister..."

When Zhao Zhan said the last sentence, his tone and eyes seemed to imply something.

But Qingling didn't seem to understand what she meant, she just knelt down and said, "Yaoyin is here."

Qingling's finger pointed in one direction, Zhao Zhan looked along and found the grasshopper he was playing with earlier.

Qing Ling's tone was calm and cold, and Qiu Xin shuddered suddenly when he heard it in his ears.

……

Qiu Xin followed behind Zhao Zhan and Qing Ling, saw Qing Ling went to a family of mountain men, and asked, "Where is Immortal Ning?"

Shanfu was unaware of everything and said a place.

Qingling gave Shanfu a gentle and friendly smile, and said, "Thank you, Brother Wen."

The man called Big Brother Wen asked curiously, "Are the dignitaries at the foot of the mountain behind you? What are they doing here?"

Qingling smiled harmlessly and said, "Come and see the scenery."

Afterwards, Qing Ling walked up to Zhao Zhan and said to Zhao Zhan, "My lord, the princess is about two hours away from here, shall we start now?"

Zhao Zhan looked at Qingling with a playful look, and said, "You knew she was here a long time ago?"

Qingling said: "It's just a guess. I didn't expect to be fooled by me. I wanted to wait until I gained the princess's trust before taking her back to the capital. But now that something happened at the border, I can only adopt a tougher approach."

Zhao Zhan didn't speak anymore.

Qiu Xin almost knew what Zhao Zhan was thinking.Qingling concealed something from Zhao Zhan, this is a fact, no matter how much Qingling defended, Zhao Zhan would not believe it.

So why does Qing Ling still say that?Even Qiu Xin felt puzzled: What exactly does Qingling want to do?Does she love Princess Pingzhen?If love, why offered to "sacrifice" Princess Pingzhen?If you don't love her, why hide Princess Pingzhen's whereabouts from Zhao Zhan?

Qiu Xin looked at Qing Ling with eyes full of inquiry, Qing Ling glanced casually and said, "Prime Minister Qiu seems to have something to say to me?"

Qiu Xin spread out his fan, covered the lower half of his face, and said, "I'm curious, what is Miss Qingling thinking at this moment?"

"It wasn't until Prime Minister Qiu asked this question at this moment that I realized that I hadn't thought about anything." Qing Ling said, "Why did Prime Minister Qiu ask such a question?"

Qiu Xin said: "Does the princess know why you are approaching her? Does the princess know that you will do this?"

For a moment, Qingling's face showed a gloomy murderous look, but it was quickly subdued.Qing Ling said to Qiu Xin: "Prime Minister Qiu asks this to seek justice for the princess? But what about you? Don't you want to exchange the princess for General Mu? We are doing the same thing, and no one has the right to criticize anyone."

Qiu Xin's face changed several times, and finally he took a look at Qing Ling and walked away.

Qingling led the way very quickly, and after a while, he saw the pavilion that the mountain man said.

A group of people approached the gazebo and saw Liu Ninghuan lying on the stone slab, with a straw hat covering his face, sleeping.

Zhao Zhan took off his coat and covered Liu Ninghuan.

This action woke up Liu Ninghuan. Liu Ninghuan sat up in a daze, looked at Zhao Zhan with bewildered eyes, and immediately woke up with a serious expression.

Zhao Zhan said: "Sister Huang, we finally meet again. How have you been these two years?"

Liu Ninghuan stared at Qing Ling in disbelief, and said, "You brought them here?!"
