The shadow stood silently for a moment, then quietly departed.

She floated back into her room, and saw the maids sweeping in twos and threes, and no one noticed her leaving. There are two eyed servants standing at the gate of the courtyard, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods. The food table given by the palace has not been touched, the dishes and soups are already cold, and the maids are arguing whether to take it to the kitchen to heat it up.

Yun Yao floated back into her body and whispered, "Quiet." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the maids blessed her from all over the place, and returned to their places, continuing all kinds of trivial and tedious work. Yun Yao picked up a chess piece and put it in the sunlight to look at it carefully, as if she wanted to see a flower in it.

It's a pity that the chess pieces are still chess pieces, and no matter how much she looks at it, she can't become a smiling Buddha.

Yun Yao threw the chess pieces into the chess box, thought about the hexagram over and over again, and remembered the scene when King Lanling cut off the case with a sword just now, and couldn't help but hissed softly. She knew that the ancient sword-forging technology was quite developed, but no matter how sharp the long sword was, it would have taken a lot of effort to cut off the case at once.

The rumor that the King of Hejian was drunk and crazy last night should be true, otherwise the King of Lanling would not have such a sword.

Suddenly, a maid called outside; "King Wan'an." Then I heard steady footsteps. Yun Yao knew that it was that person who came, so she stabilized her mind, put those thoughts behind her just now, and also got up and saluted: "King Wan'an." ”

Isn't King Lanling still dancing with a sword in the front yard? Why did you suddenly come back to the house?

Yun Yao secretly pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out why.

King Lanling walked into the house and instructed lightly, "You go down first." ”

The surrounding maids responded in unison, hurriedly went down, and deliberately closed the door.

King Lanling came to Yun Yao, looked down at her, and said gently, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Yun Yao felt a little uneasy in her heart. The two boxes of black and white chess pieces lay quietly at her feet, reminding her that the godfather Gu just now was not fake. She settled down, lowered her eyebrows and responded, "Thank you for the king's care, I slept well last night." ”

King Lanling hummed lowly, took out an invitation from his sleeve, and unfolded it in front of Yun Yao. The invitation was densely packed with small seals, like people's names written on them, and like some beautiful wording. Yun Yao touched it lightly, only to feel cold in her hand.

"This is King Boling's invitation." King Lanling explained, "King Boling will hold a banquet in the palace and invite the kings and princesses to come, and the time is tomorrow. He is the half-brother of His Majesty and my uncle. Therefore, this banquet cannot be shirked. Lady-"

He paused for a moment before he continued: "Therefore, I have to wronged my lady and go to the banquet with me." ”

Yun Yao couldn't cry or laugh.

In this world, the word "lady" is equivalent to a girl.

A newlywed county king of Yan'er, on the second day of the wedding, said to his princess, "The wronged girl will go to the banquet with me"?

Yun Yao settled down, pushed the invitation a little over, and agreed: "Since it was the invitation of King Boling, there is absolutely no reason to refuse. But I don't know what King Boling likes? Between the kings' banquets and plays, can there be some special metaphors or evasions? I am a new wife, and there are really many things I don't understand, and I hope that the king will mention a few things. ”

King Lanling shook his head and said, "There is no special metaphor or avoidance, the lady doesn't need to worry." ”

Yun Yao hummed lightly and said; "That's very good." She wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the King of Hejian, but she felt that it was not very suitable, so she smiled and said, "The king can use the court food?" Just now the palace sent some dishes and soup, saying that it was a reward from the queen, if the king has never used it, you might as well use some with me? ”

With that, she summoned two maids and told them to take the food down and warm it up.

King Lanling said with a smile: "In this way, it is according to what the lady said." Then he sat down opposite Yun Yao. After a while, the food was served when it was hot, and the two of them used some each. Yun Yao pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked as if inadvertently, "I heard that something happened in the front yard last night?" ”

King Lanling stopped and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the King of Hejian occasionally sprinkled drunken madness and said some crazy things." He paused, and then continued, "If the king of Hejian is drunk again at the banquet tomorrow, you don't have to pay attention to it, just if he doesn't save zài." ”

――――――――――――

After eating the court, King Lanling was going out on business.

Although King Lanling is still in the wedding period at the moment, he has not stayed in Yecheng for much time, and there are many things that need to be dealt with personally, so he took advantage of the free time on the second day of the wedding to take care of all the things left behind.

Yun Yao stayed in the palace, carefully collected enough money for the five emperors (pseudo), and made a hexagram for the king of Lanling.

This time, she used the authentic master's technique, which was also taught by the master, that she could not use it more than once a day, and after using it, her body would have a three-day weakening period, and even the gods could not escape the divination technique. After the five copper coins jingled to the ground, Yun Yao was dumbfounded again.

Five copper coins scattered on the ground, just made up the shape of plum petals, two by two, three and three together, tightly bitten together, not only showing the hexagram of the godfather's Gu, but also the yin and yang are different, up and down, and even the momentum of the six yao is faintly defective.

Fierce, a ferocity that is rare to see in a hundred years.

Yun Yao hissed softly, put away the five copper coins, and looked at them carefully over and over. Although it is not possible to gather Kaiyuan, Song and Yuan and Yongle Tongbao now, the money of the founding emperors of the previous and current dynasties is barely usable. The Five Emperors' money plus her master's authentic divination techniques, coupled with the chess box that she had just inadvertently kicked over, and the power of King Lanling's sword just now-

Tomorrow's banquet is probably a bad-hearted Hongmen banquet.

Yun Yao was a little worried, but she didn't know how to talk to King Lanling. I can't tell King Lanling that your wife is a god operator who has crossed over after a thousand years, and the hexagrams are extremely accurate, and you and I don't want to go to the Hongmen banquet tomorrow, and King Lanling will definitely not believe her.

But if you don't say it......

If Godfather's Gu really came true, what should it be?

――――――――――――――

That night, Yun Yao lay beside King Lanling, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She wanted to confess to King Lanling, but she was worried that there would be more trouble. After all, in the royal family, the most taboo is the words of witch divination, and all those who have been regarded as witches throughout the ages, whether it is Chu Fu or Yan Daoyu, have ended up quite miserable.

She didn't want to be seen as a shrine maiden, but she didn't want her godfather's Gu to come true.

Tossing and turning, someone next to him suddenly asked in a low voice, "Why don't you rest?" ”

The man said, turning sideways and tucking the corners of the quilt for her. There was a deep rain tonight, which diluted the few heats, and it was still a little cool. Yun Yao rolled herself up in the quilt and muttered, "What kind of person is Hejian King?" ”

The person beside her made a move, patted her back gently, and said gently, "Go to sleep." ”

Yun Yao turned over, looked at the King of Lanling in front of him, and asked softly, "Does the king have a knot?" ”

King Lanling shook his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to be a little gloomy. After a moment, the gloom turned into a heavy sigh. He raised his hand to brush away the long hair on her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about the affairs of the King of the River, so you can't sleep?" ”

The voice was low and mellow, without the slightest hint of anger or reproach.

Yun Yao sneered: "I ......"

"That's it." King Lanling sighed, "Tomorrow you will also see the King of Hejian, and I will tell you one by one." ”

His voice echoed in a low voice through the room, with a subtle hint of anger and astringency.

"My biological mother was the daughter of a criminal minister, and she was not a concubine until she died. And because I was born to let my grandfather die in prison, it was regarded as ominous. When I was young, most of those mocking and ridiculing words came from the mouth of the king of the river......"

King Hejian was the third son of Emperor Wenxiang of Northern Qi and was always loved by Emperor Wenxiang. However, the king of Hejian has always relied on his status as a concubine, and has spoken coldly and despised his brothers. Originally, this was harmless, but because as soon as King Lanling was born, his maternal grandfather died in prison, and he was born an ominous child, so King Hejian took a little more "care" of this brother.

Because of this, King Lanling's childhood was very difficult.

Most of those painful and dark memories when he was a child were brought by the King of the River, which also caused a heavy shadow on him. As they became adults and separated from each other, he erected a thick barrier around him. But even so, the shadow brought by the King of the River from childhood to adulthood has never been erased.

"After my father passed away, I stayed in Lanling County and never returned to Yecheng. It wasn't until my uncle passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne that I returned to Yecheng for the Hajj. The king of Hejian found some documents out of nowhere, and said to me clearly that he knew that my grandfather had been unjustly imprisoned, and that it was no accident that my grandfather died violently on the day I was born. But in front of me, he burned all the evidence so clean that there was not even a trace left. ”

"He said, 'Of course, the humble deserve nothing.'" ”

Yun Yao listened in a daze, as if she was listening to a fantasy.

She thought that the shadow caused by her childhood would probably follow King Lanling for a lifetime.

"I tried to get it back, but I couldn't find it. I didn't think I would have much to do with him, but before my mother died, he ...... He made my mother so angry that she vomited blood, and I hurried back from Lanling County, but I didn't see my mother for the last time. ”

King Lanling closed his eyes and said hoarsely: "I have mentioned these things to His Majesty, but His Majesty told me that the past will let it pass, and if I want, he can also reward me with more wealth and beauties to talk about comfort." ”

The pain and confusion in King Lanling's eyes finally turned into a sharp coldness.

"Let the past pass", this is the real word.
