Chapter 21: Lan Xue

Longfu Temple in the twilight of spring, there are many tourists. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info spring is just right, the warm breeze is blowing, even if there is no temple fair, bazaar or festival today, the inside and outside of Longfu Temple is still very lively.

Zhao Mo was dressed in plain blue clothes, and came to the outside of Longfu Temple in a low-key carriage. The driver was Hu Yong, accompanied by Wu Shaoying in the car, followed by Wu Shaoying's two guards, and brought a plum to help run errands.

Li Zi was specially sent by Qin Hanzhen, because she heard that Li Zi and Qingxing lived in the capital for a year or two when they were children, and learned that Li Zi was quite familiar with the roads in the capital, so she sent him to follow Zhao Mo and be a follower. If Zhao Mo needs to send someone to do something, it is better to let Li Zi go out than someone who bothers Wu Shaoying every time. Li Zi made a package ticket for this, saying that when he was a child, he often followed his elders to Longfu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and he was very familiar with the layout of the temple.

Qin Hanzhen was skeptical of this, but it was better to have a guy who could recognize the way to follow Zhao Mo than to ask Zhao Mo to enter the temple alone.

According to Zhao Mo, that Lan girl was a person in his father Zhao Shuo's house, and she used to be a big girl who had been waiting for Zhao Shuo for many years in the Liao Wang's Mansion, and her mother Wen was in charge. She and Zhao Mo's mother and son have always gotten along quite closely, so they should be credible.

However, when a lady of this status comes to the temple, she will definitely do the work of clearing the field. It's not easy for a foreign man to enter and meet her at will. Wu Shaoying and the others, out of respect for the female relatives of the clan, also because Miss Lan had asked in advance, they would only accompany Zhao Mo into the temple. But when he meets Miss Lan, they won't follow. People are separated from each other, who can guarantee that Miss Lan is 100% reliable? Li Zi followed in as Zhao Mo's little servant, and others couldn't find anything wrong. But with Li Zizi's kung fu foundation as a martial artist in elementary school, if he really encounters any danger, he can probably protect Zhao Mo for a while, so that he has time to call for help and call Wu Shaoying and others.

The carriage did not enter through the main entrance of Longfu Temple, but through the side entrance. The number of pilgrims here is not as large as that at the main entrance, but there are quite a few. Zhao Mo lowered his head slightly, got out of the car and followed Wu Shaoying and others into the temple, pretending to be pilgrims who worshiped the Buddha, first simply walked around the temple, found a monk and asked where the Lan girl was located, and the group walked directly to the secluded courtyard under the guidance of the monk.

This small courtyard was originally used to entertain pilgrims, but it is located in the most corner, and the area is small, only when a large puja is held in Longfu Temple, and the number of monks or pilgrims is too large to be placed in other places, it will be used, and most of the time on weekdays it is locked. But now that this small courtyard has been set up by a nobleman for a long time, even if there is a large puja, it can no longer be used to entertain pilgrims.

In the small courtyard, the phoenix tail is forested, and the tall bamboo bushes seem to be integrated with the bamboo forest behind the courtyard. Obviously the sun is shining today, but under the shade of bamboo leaves, it cannot illuminate the entire small courtyard, but it seems that the courtyard is dark and more shady than other places. There are only three fine houses in the courtyard, which are a little old, but the place is still clean.

Wu Shaoying asked the guide monk, and learned that the "nobleman" had not yet arrived, so he first took a guard and walked into the retreat for a turn, before he came out and said to Zhao Mo: "If the little boy must see that girl alone, then wait here." We were sitting in the grass pavilion we had seen when we came, and the little boy was going to call us out for something. He turned his head and motioned to Li Zi, "You also have to protect the little boy, you know?"

Li Zi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Master Wu." ”

Zhao Mo once again saluted Wu Shaoying solemnly, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr., for thinking about me thoroughly." Wu Shaoying sighed: "Seriously, I don't know who this Lan girl is, but since you believe in her, I have no choice but to let you go." But you also have to know in your heart, even the closest blood relatives are not necessarily reliable, let alone outsiders. When you see that girl, you should pay more attention. Don't leave with people in a daze, and remember to take plums with you no matter what you do. ”

Zhao Mo agreed solemnly, and Wu Shaoying went out with two guards. Not far from the courtyard, on the side of the road, a small grass pavilion was built, and there were stone tables and chairs in the pavilion for people to sit on. They would stay there and wait for Zhao Mo.

The guiding monk gave a pot of hot tea to the retreat and the grass pavilion respectively, and then withdrew. What happened in this courtyard, the nobleman had already ordered it down, and the monks in the temple were not allowed to ask, so he naturally would not meddle in his affairs.

Zhao Mo sat in the fine house and waited for Miss Lan to come. Li Zi has been standing outside the house, always keeping an eye on the movement outside. It's just that for some reason, the Lan girl has been missing for a long time, and people can't help but wonder if she has stumbled on something and can't go out. Thinking that she is the concubine in the inner house of the children of the clan, if there is no master mother above, there is a master mother, or a well-known master mother like Xiao Wang, her whereabouts will be greatly restricted, right? It is impossible for her to really come and go freely.

Zhao Mo slowly felt a trace of anxiety in his heart, and at this moment, the door behind the Jingshe opened silently, and a young woman walked in softly and quietly appeared behind him. Zhao Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head suddenly, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the woman.

At this time, Li Zicai inadvertently turned around, looked into the house, and saw the appearance of the woman, and screamed in surprise.

The young woman has a very white complexion, a beautiful round face, slender eyes, slightly raised eyes, a little more graceful temperament than before, and a lot more luxurious dress. She smiled at Zhao Mo, bowed her head and bowed: "It's been a long time, Brother Mo has always been good?"

"I'm okay, Sister Lan Xue, ...... you are" Zhao Mo stared at the other party's high bulging lower abdomen with a complicated expression, clearly remembering that when she left the Liao Palace, the news that she was pregnant had not yet come out. How long has it been? Half a year!

Lan Xue showed a slightly shy expression, stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "When the uncle left the palace, I was pregnant for more than a month, but I didn't know it at that time. Later, the prince and the princess were so angry, even if I knew, I didn't dare to speak up. Or did I tell my uncle later, and my uncle asked him to take me to the capital......"

Zhao Mo's mood became more complicated. If this is the case, calculating the time, I am afraid that this child was conceived shortly after the death of his biological mother Wen. Is the father so affectionate to his mother? And when the father was able to bring the pregnant room to the capital, why did he ignore him, the eldest son?

Lan Xue slowly walked to the seat opposite Zhao Mo and sat down, without asking him anything, compared with his previous attitude, there was obviously a trace of contempt. It's just that Zhao Mo can't care about these now, he sat down directly on the chair, and said with a straight face: "Miss Lan asked people to bring me here, saying that there is something important to tell you, but I don't know what it is?"

Lan Xue smiled, as if she didn't care, and glanced up at the plums outside the house.

Zhao Mo quickly said: "That's my henchman, not an outsider." If there is anything to say, the girl just has to say it. ”

Lan Xue smiled even deeper: "When my brother left the Liao Palace, he only brought a few people with him, and there didn't seem to be this little guy in it, right? Where did he find this person? Where does Brother live now? The person who sent the letter yesterday refused to tell his family where he came from." ”

Zhao Mo avoided answering: "What the hell is going on?"

Lan Xue asked again: "Why did my brother leave the Wen family and come to the capital alone? If the uncle found out, he would definitely be very worried! The uncle sent his brother to the Wen family, it was a painstaking work, why was the brother so reckless? He failed the uncle's kindness. ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyes to look at her: "If you don't have anything else to say, I'll leave." ”

Lan Xue smiled, and her eyes slowly turned red: "I know that my brother is impatient to listen to my words, but my brother is now older, and he can't be as naughty as he was when he was a child." Uncle and grandma are thinking about my brother's future, even if my brother is looking at the deceased grandmother, he should not disregard his own safety! Brother, don't think that my words are just to scare people, you should understand who my uncle and I told you to watch out for. No matter who helped you come to the capital, you can't stay any longer, so let's leave quickly!"

Zhao Mo was a little impatient: "Whether to go or stay, I know in my heart." Did your father tell you these words? He already knew that I was coming to the capital? Then why didn't you come to see me? The person who said the words should have made it clear, right? I have something important to tell my father. ”

Lan Xue sighed: "Where can I see my uncle now?" The new lady's temperament is the most domineering. If she hadn't just entered the door, I was afraid of annoying my uncle, but I was afraid that she would have taken my life a long time ago. I have been able to live to this day, thanks to the protection of my uncle, who repeatedly postponed the day when the new lady moved into the new house, and I only had a few days of peace. But such days can't last long after all......"

She looked at Zhao Mo: "It's not easy for my uncle to protect me." If even my brother is here, won't my uncle be even more worried? Brother should go back to Datong earlier!"

"I'm not going back. Zhao Mo looked at Lan Xue, "You don't have to persuade me anymore, you just need to pass on my words to my father." Only my father can be my master, and you are not qualified to take charge of my affairs. If my father knows about it and wants me to leave, I will go back to Liaodong directly. But Datong, I will never go again!"

Lan Xue looked as if she was about to cry: "My brother Mo, how could the uncle let you go back to Liaodong? Don't you know, you can't stay there now? Why does the uncle know that the new lady is domineering, and he still has to take me to the capital? It's not because the palace is not safe! You don't know, the second brother is gone in the first month!"

Zhao Mo was taken aback, and suddenly stood up: "What did you say? Who is gone?!"

"It's the second brother!" Lan Xue really cried this time, tears fell straight down, "No one knows what's going on, Aunt Sun said that when she saw the second brother's tongue black, she was afraid that she was poisoned to death! Who poisoned it, I haven't found out until now, but there is a new mother-in-law who has disappeared and doesn't know where to go." The prince and the princess were so angry that the gossip in the palace was flying all over the sky. Some people say that the princess was jealous of the uncle's favor and deliberately harmed the second brother. But Brother Mo, you know in your heart that Aunt Sun is the princess's person, her son, why did the princess hurt him......?

Zhao Mo's face sank: "You mean...... Wang?!"

Lan Xue choked up and said, "Who would have thought that the second brother was just born to a girl, and she was still so young, how could it hinder her eyes?" She lowered her head and wiped away her tears, before she raised her head and said to Zhao Mo, "Brother Mo, the second brother is gone, you can't have an accident anymore! Uncle will never allow you to throw yourself into the net and run to death under the nose of the Wang family." While the Wang family doesn't know that you're here, let's leave quickly! Unless one day, the uncle's wish is really fulfilled, or the Wang family loses power, otherwise, ...... You don't want to come back!" (To be continued.) )
