The small courtyard of the wooden house surrounded by the fence is clean and tidy, not far away except for the bamboo forest is a clear pond, the green vegetables planted in the corner of the small courtyard are planted in the open space, and a vigorous and upright pine tree is planted in the middle of the south, and the lapite table and stone bench are placed under the tree, which is quiet and elegant.

Unexpectedly, there was such a quiet place in the palace, Ruan Liuyan couldn't help but become more and more curious, Dongfang Ke seemed to see through her thoughts, "Come with me." He led her away, and Li Dezhao and Mingyue in the back looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow or not. Fortunately, Dongfang Ke, the "ancestor", had not completely forgotten the two of them, and took two steps and turned back to order, "Don't follow", which made Li Dezhao and Mingyue deeply relieved.

Dongfang Ke's destination was in the direction of the pond, Ruan Liuyan obediently followed him, and after a while, he saw an old man in gray-brown clothes facing away from them on the wooden stake by the pond, and he could see a fishing rod raised high, and the fishing line fell to the surface of the lake, obviously this person was fishing.

"Old Zhou, how many did you harvest today?"

Approaching the old man, Dongfang Ke spoke. Ruan Liuyan glanced at him in surprise, a little surprised that Dongfang Ke could also have an approachable side.

The old man known as "Old Zhou" turned around and looked back at Dongfang Ke who was also full of joy, "It's crazy, come on, come on, take a look, I've been fishing for most of the day, and I haven't caught one, but I have used a lot of bait, you can see what the reason is-"

Dongfang Ke, who greeted the old man warmly, stepped forward, Ruan Liuyan looked at Dongfang Ke, the other party smiled at her comfortingly, let go of her and walked towards the old man, studied the bait prepared by the old man, and the location of the fishing, he smiled lightly and proposed to build yì.

Ruan Liuyan on the side quietly watched them interact, occasionally helping them to start, until the sun gradually set, and a few people who had gained something returned to the wooden house. The fresh fish made the appetizers, and the three of them sat around the stone table under the banyan tree in the small courtyard. When it was Ruan Liuyan's turn, Zhou Lao looked at her several times with a wine glass, and finally said inexplicably, "It's three layers." ”

What the? Glancing at Dongfang Ke, the latter's brows furrowed, but he quickly stretched out, and raised a glass of wine to salute Zhou Lao, Dongfang Ke looked respectful. Seeing his posture, Ruan Liuyan knew that this week must have a great future, but he didn't know what Dongfang Ke wanted to do here, could it be just to watch them fish and have a meal?

It turns out that things are not so simple, no, after being full of wine and food, Dongfang Ke asked Zhou Lao to check Ruan Liuyan's pulse, Ruan Liuyan understood his intentions, and obediently stretched out his wrist, and put Zhou Lao's five fingers on her wrist.

"How?" After Zhou Lao withdrew his hand, Dongfang Ke immediately asked, Zhou Lao looked calm, "Three layers of toxins are in the body, and there is still salvation." Ruan Liuyan's heart moved when he heard this, and he said that the sting was poisonous and domineering, looking at the old gentleman's demeanor, he didn't think the rumors were so terrible.

"So how do you get rid of the toxins in your body?"

Facing Dongfang Ke's inquiry, Zhou Lao twisted his beard and spoke: "I am not completely sure of this, the top priority now is to find the 'Ember Immortal Vine' to extract its juice as a medicinal guide, if there is this, it will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Ember fairy vine is rumored to grow in the desert arctic cold land, incurable diseases can be used as medicine, the body is non-toxic or martial arts practitioners take it, there will only be a hundred benefits and no harm, for many years the rivers and lakes martial arts people have dreamed of it, competing to find it, but unfortunately they are all mirrors, no one has seen what it looks like.

After listening to Zhou Lao's explanation, Dongfang Ke's expression became solemn, Zhou Lao laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "How can those people be worthy of finding the fairy vine, you don't have to worry, I traveled to Mobei more than ten years ago, and I saw the fairy vine by chance, at that time, the fairy vine only broke through the soil, not a good time to pick, and now ten years have passed, and it is the time to use it for medicine." When I draw the portrait of the fairy vine, you can send someone to find it—"

"Really?" Zhou Lao's words made ripples in the hearts of the two people present at the same time, Dongfang Ke's tone became brisk, and Ruan Liuyan was warm in his heart. Seeing that Dongfang Ke was not as steady and urgent as usual, Zhou Lao nodded steadily, "Of course it's true." ”

"But there is one thing I want to remind you, the poison on Liuyan's body is incomprehensible for a day, you must remember not to conceive an heir for a day, otherwise..." Heir... They have never done anything before, Zhou Lao mentioned this, and he couldn't help but make Ruan Liuyan's face redden.

"Cough..."Dongfang Ke cleared his throat and coughed lightly, relieving the embarrassment of a little condensation in the atmosphere, Zhou Lao looked at them back and forth, and finally looked at Dongfang Ke's eyes It turned out to be Nuo Yu, this woman is still perfect, good boy, I really can't see that you will be so pitiful and cherish jade! Dongfang Ke didn't know what Zhou Lao was doing to him, but when he came to this field, he could only sit upright and not meet Zhou Lao Nuoyu's gaze.

Coming out of the bamboo forest courtyard, there are already thousands of stars outside, and the night wind is a little stronger, and the people who are blowing are a little cold. The two of them returned on the original road of the emperor, the two of them still kept their distance in the carriage, and the carriage swayed forward slowly, after a long time, Ruan Liuyan, who was leaning on the body of the carriage, couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Because Dongfang Ke was here, she tried her best to suppress this tiredness, and prepared to rest after arriving at Chonghua Palace, not wanting to become sleepy, she didn't hold it, and the muffled sound when her head hit the body alarmed everyone outside. Through the curtain, Li Dezhao respectfully asked, "Master, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, stand down."

dismissed Li Dezhao, Dongfang Ke pulled the person over, and took advantage of the candlelight emitted by the lantern hanging in the corner of the box to look at the woman's forehead, and the woman's white forehead was already red. Ruan Liuyan was unprepared, and when he hit the carriage, his nose was sore, and there were tears in his already painful eyes.

"It's red and swollen." Stroking the wound on her forehead, Dongfang Ke glanced at her reproachfully, Ruan Liuyan was slightly embarrassed, "The concubine is just careless." With a cold snort, Dongfang Ke groped with his other hand under the back of the small cake cabinet, and after a while, there was a white porcelain bottle the size of a thumb in his hand.

"Keep your head down."

Dongfang Ke gave an order, Ruan Liuyan obediently leaned over, a thin ointment covered the wound, and a faint aroma of medicine gradually floated in the air. His fingertips were cold, and when he first touched it, he had a strong urge to dodge, but Ruan Liuyan, who had been with Dongfang Ke for so long, knew that her dodging would make the man unhappy, so she subconsciously suppressed this impulse.

In addition to this, the two of them also remembered the time when she was poisoned in Chonghua Palace a few days ago, when she scratched his face with her nails in her sleep, and she also smeared the ointment for him with her fingertips, and then later, in order to save her body, she deliberately chose to lure him at the moment when she was about to poison herself...

The ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage gradually thickened, and Ruan Liuyan couldn't help but step back, "Your Majesty, the concubine's wound is no longer painful." ”

She took the initiative to break the atmosphere, Dongfang Ke glanced at her wordlessly, and beckoned to her, "Come here." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Liuyan slowly leaned over, and with a strong pull, her whole body crashed into the man's arms, and the man's strong voice came from the top of her head: "Sleep." The man was concise and to the point, leaning on the man's shoulder, Ruan Liuyan let himself relax.

In this case, he couldn't do anything to her.

The man has broad arms, giving people a feeling of being thick and down-to-earth, this man is the pride of the sky, but he tolerates her presumptuous again and again, and today he specially brought her to Zhou Lao here to find a solution to her sting...

Thinking of this, Ruan Liuyan's heart couldn't help but feel soft, and the first time the two of them didn't hug each other with tension, she actually had a feeling of attachment in her heart that she was taken care of wholeheartedly. Some things have been quietly changing, she is powerless to stop them, and the only thing she can do is to guard her heart and not let it be lightly hooked by men.

The man sent her to the palace gate before leaving, and Qiu Luo had already arranged for someone to prepare hot water in the room, leaving Mingyue to serve alone, and Ruan Liuyan scolded everyone else to go out.

"Master, He Zhaorong has been ordered to be sent to the cold palace, what are we going to do next?" After testing the water temperature, Ming Yue sprinkled various rose petals into the water, Ruan Liuyan, who had stripped off her clothes and was wearing only a shirt, walked out from behind the screen, and Ming Yue helped her into the bathtub, "It's easy to startle the grass and startle the snake if she is in a hurry, she can still save her life when she is crazy now, and she will talk about it when the limelight is over."

I have asked the emperor to return to Yinfu to save relatives, and the emperor has allowed me to return to my house tomorrow, and you will order someone to prepare the gifts you want to bring in a while, and be careful not to make mistakes. Leaning on the barrel, sprinkling water on the white arm a little bit, brushing away the petals on the arm, Ruan Liuyan instructed Mingyue.

Ming Yue responded, with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes, "But how could the master think of going back to the house, the master, Mrs. Jin Lin'er and the eldest lady, I'm afraid they are..."

Her voice grew weaker, and the two of them knew the meaning of her words.

"What?"

With a chuckle, Ruan Liuyan turned over and lazily leaned over to the edge of the bathtub.

Motioning for Mingyue to wipe her back, she said, "You want to say that they don't want to see me, do you?" What's the matter, after so many years, don't expect them to change. Rest assured, I only went back to verify one thing, and I don't have to worry so much. ”

Ming Yue responded, with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes, "But how could the master think of going back to the house, the master, Mrs. Jin Lin'er and the eldest lady, I'm afraid they are..."

Her voice grew weaker, and the two of them knew the meaning of her words.

With a chuckle, Ruan Liuyan turned over and lazily leaned over to the edge of the bathtub.
