Chapter Seventy-Four: Going Up the Mountain in Distress
Gao Lian looked at Lin Ranran's face of disbelief, raised his eyebrows and said: "As far as your three-legged cat kung fu, it is estimated that it will not work before reaching the top of the mountain, and this king doesn't want to drag a sick cat." ”
Lin suddenly cut in her heart, thinking that if you love to go, it is not me who forcibly stops you, as if I owe you a lot of favors, thinking of this, she pursed her lips disdainfully: "Lord Wang, please don't underestimate me, I am not the weak woman you imagined, you don't have to..."
Lin Ranran's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally swallowed the pill and said, "What did you give me?" It can't be poison! ”
Gao Lian glanced at her with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not poison, but I didn't expect Miss Lin to be quite timid." ”
Lin Ran shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "My brother's life is still in my hands, if I have three long and two short, what can Xiao Ran do." ”
Gao Lian glared at her angrily, "This is a miasma pill, let's go." He ignored her and walked on.
Lin Ran hurriedly followed his footsteps and shouted behind him: "Lord Wang, you go slowly!" As soon as the words fell, Gao Lian stopped and looked back at her: "When you get there, it's going to be dark, and you still want to save your brother's life." ”
"Got it." Lin suddenly caught up with him in two steps and three steps, and muttered in a low voice: "Stingy man." She didn't see Gao Lian, who was walking in front, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Kun Qing Palace
The Queen Mother gently scratched the rim of the cup with the lid, and said to the queen who was sitting down: "What kind of wind is blowing Rui'er to the mourning family today?" ”
Tian Ruixin was wearing a pink palace dress embroidered with peony flowers, stood up and saluted the Queen Mother elegantly: "Rui'er knew that the candles in the Queen Mother's palace were too dark, so she specially asked someone to send a few night pearls for the Queen Mother to use. She clapped her hands, and after a while the eunuch walked in with the night pearl on the tray.
The Queen Mother's originally lazy expression crossed her eyes when she saw the Night Pearl, Tian Ruixin quickly caught her expression, and introduced her respectfully on the surface: "This is from the small country in the Western Regions, it can be used as a decoration in the morning, but it can emit a bright light at night, not only is it not dazzling, but it can also illuminate the entire hall." ”
Looking at Tian Ruixin's decent demeanor, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth hooked up a sneer, her eyes fell on the priceless night pearls, and she smiled faintly: "The mourning family knows that these night pearls are the most cherished things in Rui'er, how can you be willing to give love to the mourning family now?" ”
Tian Ruixin said unhurriedly: "The Queen Mother, please calm your anger, although this night pearl is priceless, but for the concubines, the health of the Queen Mother is the most important thing." ”
"Prime Minister Tian really taught a good daughter." The Queen Mother smiled disapprovingly, and said lightly: "Take it!" ”
"Yes." The eunuch walked to the side of the Queen Mother with a tray.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" The Queen Mother held a night pearl and asked with love.
Tian Ruixin said with a smug smile in her eyes: "Rui'er has a reluctant invitation, the concubine has heard that Miss Lin San is knowledgeable, talented, and talented, and the concubine plans to invite her at this banquet, what do you think, Queen Mother?" ”
"Are you talking about Lin Taijun's third granddaughter, Lin Xuanran? Why do you suddenly care about her? The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with an unclear light, Tian Ruixin smiled and said: "Yes, the concubines just think that many noble sons in the palace have reached the age of the crown, these children are of the same age, and they will be more compatible when they chat, plus the relationship between you and the old lady, if her granddaughter can find a good marriage, but she is more happy, don't you say?" She said it reasonably, and she was completely considerate.
The Queen Mother thought of her relationship with Mrs. Lin, and then thought of the poor child, Lin Ranran, and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it's okay, then I'll leave this matter to you!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." In a place where the Queen Mother didn't see it, the corners of Tian Ruixin's mouth hooked up with a chill like ice.
Shangshu Mansion
Lin Zixuan hurried to Zhu'an Yuan, she didn't even drink a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and walked into the house, in fact, there is a reason here, just now she passed by Fushoutang and overheard the conversation between the old lady and the eldest lady, the queen actually sent a post to invite Lin Ran to participate in her banquet, this is an extremely glorious thing, if it was usual, she would have gone to find her father, but what happened in the Taoist temple before, she didn't dare to ask her father again, but now she can only discuss with her mother.
"Mother, what do you think I should do? Seeing that girl in the limelight? As soon as Lin Zixuan saw her mother, she took her hand and coquettishly.
The second lady sighed helplessly: "You also know that your father is very dissatisfied with your affairs at the moment, look at your second aunt, she hasn't stayed in her own courtyard all day long, she is afraid that others will catch the pigtails, what about you, you are not at ease at all, you run to my house all day long, see what you look like?" ”
Lin Zixuan's face turned red when she was reprimanded by her mother, and she was about to open her mouth to refute, when Mama Lan suddenly walked in quickly, and whispered a few words to the second lady, the second lady's face changed greatly, and asked, "Is the matter true?" ”
Mama Lan smiled and said: "It's true, just now the leader of the bandits came to report that Lin was attacked in Dalian Mountain, and he only picked up an embroidered shoe. ”
The second lady's eyes raised a touch of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile: "Great, it's really good." ”
Lin Zixuan looked at her mother's happy expression inexplicably, and asked curiously, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
The second lady just said to Mama Lan beside her: "Go and call the master, I have something to look for him, Zixuan, now is a good opportunity for you to turn over, take advantage of your father before he comes, go and hide behind the curtain first." As soon as she heard that Lin suddenly disappeared on the side of Dalian Mountain, her mood was like riding a roller coaster, straight to the clouds, as long as she cleaned up this girl, her daughter would have a day to turn over.
Lin Zixuan pouted and said coquettishly: "Don't! The second lady glared at her with some hatred: "Don't go quickly." Lin Zixuan could only hide behind the curtain.
After a while, Lin Qisheng came belatedly, with a trace of impatience on his face, for no other reason, at that time he was lying in the gentle township of the sixth lady, and his original good interest was interrupted, how could he not be annoyed.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" With a little displeasure on his face, Master Lin lifted his robe and sat on the chair.
The second lady withdrew from the house, and only the second lady and Lin Qisheng were left in the house, and she slowly said: "Master, this matter is not trivial, this is related to sudden chastity." ”
"Don't be pretentious, speak quickly." Lin Qisheng frowned and said, impatiently knocking on the table.
The second lady was proud in her heart, and on the surface, she still looked distressed and said: "I suddenly said that I would go to Dalian Mountain to pick red Yao to treat my younger brother, and the old lady also agreed. ”
"Well, I know about it." Lin Qisheng saw her spitting and spitting appearance, and noticed that something was wrong, in fact, the old lady also used this reason to let her suddenly go out to relax.
The second lady continued: "Later, someone came to report that she had disappeared in Dalian Mountain, and that she had found this. She took out Lin Ranran's embroidered shoes, "It is said that there are many bandits in the Dalian Mountain area, I'm afraid something happened at that time." As she spoke, she quietly observed Lin Qisheng's uncertain expression, and was in an inexplicably good mood, only to feel that when she said this, it was like the originally rainy weather suddenly cleared and a rainbow appeared.
When the second lady finished saying this, Lin Qisheng felt cold and piercing, what he was most afraid of finally happened, a good girl disappeared in the mountains, and embroidered shoes were found, so obvious things are known to anyone who understands.
"Who is so bold as to dare to kidnap the daughter of my Shangshu Mansion?" Lin Qisheng said fiercely, and the green tendons of his hands clenched into fists burst out.
The second lady pretended to wipe her tears: "Poor suddenly, there are many bandits over there, but I'm afraid that there are fewer fierce and auspicious now." ”
"What did you say!" He roared angrily, slamming the table, "It's such a big thing, you are only talking about it now." Although he is selfish and only thinks of himself, but if outsiders know that his daughter has been kidnapped, where will his face be placed, originally Lin Ran was going to go out to find Hong Yao, but he also looked upset and agreed to let her out, not even a domestic servant, if someone with a face in the Jin Dynasty knew that he was a father who did not care about his daughter's life and death, his official career and his face would be gone.
"Master, I just got the news, didn't I tell you now?" The second lady looked at Lin Qisheng with an aggrieved face, which made the anger in his heart even worse.
"Send someone to find it, give me the fastest time to find it." Lin Qisheng knocked on the table heavily, these bandits were really too bold.
"Master, the problem is that if you find it, it will be ...... suddenly," the second lady said inadvertently, "People don't find small things, but it has a big deal to do with the prestige of the master!" With red eyes, she met Lin Qisheng's gaze, "How good is this!" ”
Lin Qisheng was told by her like this, the thoughts in his head were churning and turning, if his colleagues knew that his daughter had been robbed by robbers, what would they think of him, where would his face rest? Maybe even his official career will be affected.
Thinking of this, Lin Qisheng slowly calmed down: "Then what do you think to do?" His eyes looked directly at the second lady.
There was a touch of coldness in the eyes of the second lady, and she pretended to be concerned and said: "Master, I'm really worried that the child has just reached the age of marriage, and now I know that she is missing, I am afraid that it will affect the marriage of other children." ”
Lin Qisheng sneered and looked at her coldly: "It seems that you are still paving the way for your daughter?" ”
"Master, the bright moon can be seen, I am really for your good, not to mention that Jing Ke has just returned victoriously and won the favor of the emperor, if there is a moth at this juncture, how can this be good." She knelt on the ground, with a tearful appearance of pear blossoms, which made Master Lin soften his heart, thinking of the lack of regrets when he married him, dealing with the hard work in the backyard, and giving birth to an excellent son for him, and instantly a trace of tenderness appeared in his heart, and he stepped forward to support her body: "Why do you bother." ”
"Sir!" The second lady Chu Chu pitifully red-eyed, looking at the eyes of Master Lin was even more moving, Lin Qisheng's throat tightened, and he said dryly: "Deal with it as you want, order to find it as soon as possible, if you find the body, you will announce that the third lady is dead, if you find her, you will send her to the temple for the rest of her life, this is already the greatest preferential treatment for her, and it can't affect the future of other children." ”
"Thank you, sir!" The second lady twisted her waist and held Lin Qisheng's hand, looking at him with affection, which made Lin Qisheng's lower abdomen suddenly hot, and she grabbed her waist.
"Hey, I've got to have a bowl of water! Coming back alive is also an obstacle! Gu raised his head and looked at him with tenderness, he really couldn't bear it, and sighed.
"Yes, sir." Lin Qisheng looked at her teary eyes, his heart was itching, and he took her into the inner room.
Dalian Mountain
Gao Lian and Lin Ran finally climbed the mountain, the mountain was full of fog, and even the top of the mountain could not be seen, just when Lin Ran was leaning on a big tree and panting, Gao Lian quickly pulled her over, just when she was wondering, she saw that the tree that was still in front of her suddenly disappeared, replaced by a dangerous cliff, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Everything here is an illusion, you don't have to rely on anything." Gao Lian saw through her mind and explained, Lin suddenly nodded thoughtfully, and muttered: "It turned out to be a mirage, but how did you know?" ”
Gao Lian glanced at her, and said with a serious face: "Although Dalian Mountain is fertile and warm as spring all year round, it is surrounded by miasma and enchantments, in order to prevent the enemy from picking red Yao, you should be careful when you walk in the future." ”
"Oh." Something happened just now, Lin suddenly nodded obediently, and didn't dare to squat where to rest, but this place is so peculiar, and so many people are going to risk their lives to come, it seems that Hong Yao really doesn't have a life to pick, Lin suddenly looked at Gao Lian who was walking in front without a trace, and slowly followed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, although this person looked cold, but he was still a good person.
When the two of them were about to reach the top of the mountain, Lin Ranran's body began to react, and the cold sweat of Dou Da slowly slipped down from her body, she gritted her teeth and desperately tried to keep up with Gao Lian, but the vision in front of her became more and more blurred, and her heart became more and more painful, as if something was grabbed fiercely.
Afraid that it was an asthma attack, Lin suddenly didn't dare to sit down, trembling and just about to take out the pill in his pocket, but his hand trembled so much that he couldn't hold it at all, seeing that the pill was about to fall from her hand, a warm big hand held her, and a cold voice came from the top of his head, and he patted her cheek gently: "Wake up, are you okay?" ”
Lin suddenly held on to the last trace of clarity, bit his lip and said, "I, I can't die yet, only, as long as I give it to me, I can take pills." She opened her mouth, didn't wait for the pill to be put into her mouth, and just as she was about to speak, she felt a hand holding her chin, and vaguely felt a heat source approaching her lips, for a long time, a hot breath slowly entered her body, Lin suddenly felt that she seemed to have regained her strength, and when she opened her eyes, she met Gao Lian's narrow eyes, and the two stared at each other for a while, Lin suddenly found that she was nestled in a man's arms, jumped out suddenly, and her nose almost hit his head, Apologize again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”
Gao Lian glanced at her lightly, got up and stood up: "Since it's okay, get up quickly, when it's dark, you won't see anything." ”
"Oh, good!" Lin suddenly stood up and continued to keep up with him, how could she always feel that this man's temper was really uncertain, obviously she felt that the distance between the two just now was one step closer, and this man was coldly pulled away, but she was originally a rough person, so she had to shrug her shoulders indifferently, for the sake of the face of this man who was her savior, she didn't care about him.
Gao Lian glanced behind him without a trace, and pursed his lips tightly.
The two finally walked to the edge of the cliff, a purple light flashed strongly, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, Gao Lian lowered his eyes, and said to Lin Ran behind him: "Hold your breath, go farther, remember to hold on to the tree next to you." ”
"Oh, you have to be careful, too." Lin suddenly obediently walked behind him, hugged the tree, Gao Lian nodded at her, turned around and walked forward.
When Lin suddenly hugged the big tree nervously, he saw Gao Lian pull out the black soft sword from his waist, cut a drop of blood in his hand, and closed his eyes to the purple light. Gao Lian suddenly grabbed her: "Catch!" Lin suddenly raised his eyes and looked up, and the original black soft sword turned into a rope.
She struggled to grab the rope, Gao Lian hugged her, and her tone was unusually gentle, "It's okay, the barrier is broken." Lin suddenly took a breath, looked in his direction, and sure enough, he saw that the purple light had disappeared, and even the white mist with the fog had disappeared, Lin suddenly felt overjoyed, and couldn't help hugging Gao Lian, and said ecstatically: "Great, really good!" Xiao Ran was saved. ”
Gao Lian looked at her expression, suddenly moved, pulled her to his side, and when Lin Ranran was stunned, his lips pressed lightly against her, and he whispered: "Lin Ranran, be my woman!" ”
