Chapter 40: Intricacies
After a long time, there was no movement behind the screen, and the queen knew that he was behind the screen and did not leave, he was such a person, even if she stabbed him with a knife, he would not leave, just like back then......
The queen sat upright for a long time, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace had been kicked out when she returned to the palace, and had been waiting outside the door, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the master inside, and suffering from flesh and skin.

Mama Li entered the palace and saw the queen sitting alone in the main hall, with one hand on her head, her eyes closed, and her eyes immediately red.
She grew up watching the queen, and her affection for her is incomparable to ordinary people, the queen was also gentle and lovely in the past, and was deeply liked by His Majesty, since ten years ago she went out of the palace with the emperor for a private visit, and after returning to the palace, everything has become different.
During that time, the emperor no longer favored any concubine in the harem, and every day except for the court, he locked himself in the imperial study to review the chapters. It is difficult for the concubines in the harem to see him.
The queen's temper is also growing day by day, and she beats and scolds her subordinates at every turn.
In this way, two years later, a mysterious woman entered the palace, set thousands of favors in one, no one has seen this woman's face, only know that she is the emperor's own concubine, and it is carried directly into the palace with a soft sedan chair. The emperor's favor for Concubine Yue intensified the resentment in the hearts of the harem concubines, and as a result, a tragedy arose......
"Is there something wrong?" The queen noticed Mama Li's existence and asked.
The queen's words interrupted Mama Li's memories, Mama Li bowed forward and slowly spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, waiting outside, do you want to see Niangniang?" ”
"The palace is tired, let him go back." The queen said weakly, got up slowly, and staggered towards the bedroom.
Mama Li went out in response, told the prince, and hurried to the queen's bedroom, and before she entered the bedroom, she heard the queen's sharp voice: "Go out."
Mama did not continue to step forward, silently retreated, and when she was about to go out, she heard a man's voice from inside......
"Alas......" Mama sighed helplessly.
Yeli gave the emperor medicine, and left in a hurry, and the information he sent from his subordinates found that the emperor and the empress had been to Yuncheng ten years ago, and had been to the town where the plague had been obtained.
It stands to reason that although Ah San has some skills, he is just a grass farmer, how could he disappear out of thin air. Maybe something unknown happened back then, which may have something to do with the real people on the Spirit Mountain.
Knowing this, Yeli left the palace with Yang Zhi overnight, and went to the plague town in the name of the people of Lingshan, and declared to the outside world that the emperor would be able to use very rare medicinal materials to fully recover, and the people of Lingshan would personally go to find medicinal materials.
When the people of Lingshan came to the town where they were plagued, the people were naturally very grateful, and they thanked the people of Lingshan for saving their lives back then. The village has been renamed Faerie Town.
Before he could ask, someone had already explained everything to him, and after he had left, a man of great wealth came to the town with his wife, and found that the plague had been eliminated, and that it was full of life and a new look, and it was said that it was the people of Lingshan who saved them. So he said casually, "Only the posture of an immortal can bring such a beautiful atmosphere." When a local Xiucai heard about it, he proposed to change the town to Xianling Town.
The night drift was clear, and asked what happened next. The harvest is not huge.
When everyone was warm, Yeli inadvertently mentioned a sentence of Iron Arm Ah San, only to find that everyone knew about Ah San, and talked about him as a laughing stock after tea and dinner, someone told Ye Li, Iron Arm Ah San later saw the rich man's wife, and fell in love, and followed behind people's butts every day to offer courtesy and show goodwill, and then the rich man left Xianling Town, and Ah San also followed.
After the man finished speaking, Yang Zhi's hands were already clenched tightly, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and the blood was dripping down, and he didn't even realize it.
When Yeli heard this, he found that there were some discrepancies with the information in his hand, and it stands to reason that everyone knows about it, and it is impossible that there is no information on it.
Is there someone deliberately trying to lure them here? What about the purpose? Looks like it's time for him to take some time to clean up the Shadow Palace. He glanced at Yang Zhi and didn't say anything.
After staying in Xianling Town at night, the people of the town naturally couldn't ask for it, and warmly entertained the people of Lingshan every day. And Yang Zhi seemed to be hiding from the people in the town.
After living in the town for half a month, nothing happened, and that night, Yeli called Yang Zhi to the room and said indifferently: "You can leave." ”
"Venerable Master, Yang Zhi swears to the death that he is willing to follow the Venerable Master." Yang Zhi's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't understand why the people on Lingshan let him leave. Immediately knelt down on one knee with a look of death on his face.
"I gave you a chance. I wanted to hear you tell me about Yang Ze in person, but you disappointed me. "The sound of the night is like the cold ice of the wax moon, without a trace of temperature.
"Venerable Master, you know everything?" Yang Zhi's face was full of embarrassment, he thought that he had covered it up well, and after thinking about it again, the people on Lingshan were powerful, and he was relieved.
Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Iron Arm Ah San's real name is Yang Ze, he is my elder brother, our family is not good, my parents passed away when I was very young, my brother bears the burden of supporting the family, I didn't know what my brother did before, I only knew that I worked for others in the town next door, and my brother came back every six months to buy some food supplies for the family, which was enough for me and my grandmother to eat for half a year." Usually, the neighbors see us as pitiful, and they will also give us a little food and vegetables. In this way, until ten years ago, there was a plague in this town, and my brother did not come home for a long time. My grandmother cried day and night, and I learned that the emperor had ordered the entire town to be burned down. ”
Yang Zhi was a little choked up when he said this, took a deep breath, and continued: "Later, one day my brother came home in the middle of the night, at that time his whole body was full of a burning smell, and his face was also burned black, I was frightened, but fortunately, my grandmother has been comforting me, so I didn't scream, my brother has been hiding at home, and I follow my grandmother to the mountains every day to pick herbs and heal him, grandma asked him how he did this, and he refused to say. ”
Yeli saw a trace of fear flashing in Yang Zhi's eyes, it is conceivable that Yang Ze must have been burned beyond recognition back then, but who burned him like that? Emperor? Or the Queen?
"From then on, he covered his face with a cloth every day, for fear of frightening me again, and he would tell me every day when he was working outside, and he told me about the interesting things that the Venerable Master had helped them to solve the plague. It's just that he won't say anything about the rest of the world. Later, when I went with my grandmother to collect medicine, he left the book and disappeared. After Yang Zhi finished speaking, his face was relieved, it seemed that this matter had been pressing on his heart, and there was a sense of relief when he said it.
"Well, go back and rest." After listening to Yeli, he didn't say anything, just asked him to go back and rest.
He sat down at the table, took up a pen and wrote a note, stood by the window, whistled, and a white eagle flew in response, and he tied the note to the small bamboo tube on the eagle's feet, and flapped its wings, and the white eagle spread its wings and flew high for a moment and became a small dot.
