On this day, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and it was the day when Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng agreed to go to Huangming Temple, and Ruoyun set off from the house early in the morning.

Because it was revealed that Ruoyun was the relationship between the behind-the-scenes owners of Leisurely Residence, people in the capital were very concerned about Ruoyun's situation during this time, so Ruoyun was very low-key this time, and did not take her eye-catching gorgeous six-wheeled car, but took a relatively low-key eighty percent new carriage, and only took a coachman and two girls to go out lightly.

In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go the same way as Chu Ziheng, but chose to set off separately and meet again in the temple.

Although the weather has been hot recently, Ruoyun and the others went out early, and there was no trace of heat in the suburbs of Beijing in the early morning, but it was quite cool.

Out of the capital, there were fewer people on the road, so Ruoyun asked Donghong to lift the curtains halfway and let some cool wind blow in.

As soon as the wind blew in, everyone in the carriage suddenly felt refreshed.

The dew that hit the plants last night hadn't had time to be steamed dry, so there was some moist feeling in the air, breathing in the natural air without any pollution, thinking about the legend of the Lianli fruit that Chu Ziheng told her that day, Ruoyun was in a very good mood.

In fact, there are many superb immortal fruits in Ruoyun's space, which can live and die, flesh and bones, and this fruit is just a magical fruit in the mortal world, which is nothing to Ruoyun.

However, Ruoyun still rushed over by car, not to eat how good the fruit was for herself, but the meaning of the fruit that Chu Ziheng said, which is a symbolic meaning, this is a way for Chu Ziheng to express his attention and emotions to her, so she likes it very much.

Along the way, Ruoyun thought that this was probably the first time she had really gone out on a date with Chu Ziheng after returning to Beijing.

In the past, we met in leisurely residence, and we have never come out to visit and go out together.

Thinking that if it were in modern times, the little couple who fell in love probably wanted to be together every day, and the rest of the time between her and Chu Ziheng was less together and more than when they were young, and because of their identities, both parties also suffered a lot of responsibilities, which made their relationship go through a lot of ups and downs.

But fortunately, no matter how the outside world changes, no matter how the age changes, no matter how the identity and status of the two change, the original intention of the two remains the same, and they have identified each other many years ago.

Fortunately, the emperor and Ruoyun's grandfather, the two key figures, have already acquiesced to their marriage, and the two are only one step away from next year, and they can be together naturally.

Now, the Sun family has been removed, and the Sun family's henchmen in the mansion have also been cleaned up by the old man, and the chief housekeeper and the second housekeeper in the mansion have been replaced by their own people.

And the old lady is also because of the relationship between the Sun family, and she has also bowed her head in the house recently.

Soon Ruoyun's second aunt will also come back to the housekeeper, Ruoyun's second uncle was not born to the old lady, and the second room has had a lot of grievances with the old lady for a long time, so the old lady with her housekeeper should no longer be able to cover the sky with one hand, and the things in the house are not a big deal.

Tian'er is no longer the little boy who couldn't withstand the wind and rain back then, and now he is even better than Ruoyun originally imagined, more powerful, and has the ability to protect himself, so Ruoyun can leave the house and marry with confidence.

"Girl, it's here!" Lei Laosan is today's coachman, Ruoyun now sends the three Lei brothers to the old man and Tian'er, after all, the two of them still need protection, today is because they want to take the carriage lightly, so they found Lei Laosan to be the coachman.

But then again, if the people in the rivers and lakes knew that the famous Lei Clan Three Monsters were willing to be Ruoyun's coachman, I don't know if their jaws would drop in shock!

"Got it, third brother!" Ruoyun replied, and then got down from the carriage with the help of Dong Hong and Dong Lan.

Standing next to the carriage, you can see a high staircase of white marble, the stairs are a little steep, and the steps seem to be towering into the clouds, and you can't see the end at the bottom of the stairs.

Ruoyun has heard of the steps of Huangming Temple, which was specially built by the temple when Huangming Temple opened a hundred years ago, with a total of 9980 steps, symbolizing the 9981 difficulties in life that Buddhism said.

All devout believers of Buddhism will climb this ladder step by step by themselves when they come here, symbolizing their piety, and there are rumors that if you climb this ladder yourself, you can also eliminate disasters and solve problems, so many people will climb this ladder by themselves.

"Girl, there is a soft sedan here, do you need to hire a soft sedan chair!" Dong Hong pointed to a few bamboo soft sedan chairs on the side of the steps and said.

Although it is rumored that it is good to climb the steps, it is still a little unrealistic to let some of the ladies and girls who are pampered every day climb the eighty steep steps without going out of the two gates.

And not everyone is so religious, some people may only come to Huangming Temple to visit and play, so they don't want to climb so many steps.

Some nearby villagers saw the business opportunities here, so they knitted some bamboo soft sedan chairs by themselves, and relied on a handful of strength to carry these rich people up, earn some extra money, and subsidize their families.

The villagers were already ready to move when they saw Ruoyun get off the car, after all, they used to see such a young lady who would sit in their soft sedan chair, and after listening to Donghong's words, they all respectfully saluted Ruoyun here, hoping to leave a good impression on Ruoyun, and then hire their sedan chair.

"Meeting is fate, Donghong will give you a meeting gift to all the masters!" Ruoyun looked at these villagers as simple and polite, and did not run up to solicit customers regardless of the courtesy, but respectfully gave her heart, and couldn't help nodding in her heart.

As soon as she saw these villagers, she knew that they were all honest people who made money from labor, so she did not hesitate to give them a blessing.

Because she is never short of money, she is willing to help some people when she can.

"Yes, girl!" Dong Hong knew that the girl was used to it, and when she came out, she wore a red envelope, that is, every master gave a red envelope.

Those masters wanted to come here to receive the reward of the noble, and they all knew that the reward of the nobleman could not be shirked, otherwise they would not give face to the other party, so they all respectfully thanked each other before accepting it.

Ruoyun smiled and nodded to them, and then said to the two girls, "Let's go!" ”

She didn't mean to be this soft sedan chair, just a few dozen steps, nothing to her, just as playing.

The masters who carried the sedan chair thought that this girl would hire a soft sedan chair, but they didn't expect that the girl only gave them and did not hire them, but they looked at each other a little.

But after all, they didn't dare to chase after him and ask, but they looked at the figure of the girl with some worry, thinking that if the girl was exhausted, they quickly sent two people up to carry the person.

But they watched the girl and the two girls walk on the steps as if they were strolling leisurely, and they did not feel any fatigue, but felt that they were not going up the steep steps, but dancing as picturesquely as stepping on the clouds.

In the past, there were girls who had to climb the stairs, but when they went up to thirty steps, they were already exhausted and couldn't climb, so they still let the girl come down and hire a sedan chair, but this was more than fifty steps for the girl in one breath, and she didn't see any fatigue and wolf bèi, and she was still very elegant as she started.

The masters under the mountain know that this girl should be different from those girls they have seen before, and she should have some skills, not only admiring them.

Lei Laosan looked at the car, Ruoyun took the two girls and walked in front of the mountain gate easily, and saw that there was already a little novice waiting at the mountain gate.

"Excuse me, but the white donor?" When Xiao Shami saw Ruoyun and his party, he walked over and asked.

"It's my girl!"

"Bai Shi, please come with me, another donor has arrived!"

"There's Master Lao!"

All the way to the temple with the little novice, at the beginning you can see some people who come to worship the Buddha one after another, the more you go inside, the fewer and fewer people are, and finally even the monks in the temple can't see it.

Finally, he stopped in front of the door of a secluded courtyard, and the little novice knocked lightly, and the door inside opened, revealing that it was Fuwei.

Fu Wei saw the three masters and servants of Ruoyun, his face was happy, and then he saluted respectfully: "I've seen the girl!" ”

"Fu Wei, excuse me, have you arrived a long time ago?"

"Back girl, just arrived for a while, the master is waiting for you inside!" Fu Wei opened the door to let Ruoyun and the others in, and the little novice made a joke and retired.

Ruoyun and Fu Wei went into the courtyard and saw Chu Ziheng standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking at her with a smile.

Ruoyun walked in and found that this was a very secluded small courtyard, and there were a lot of flowers planted in front of the house, in addition to this, he could see this courtyard clearly at a glance, but he didn't see a magical Lianli tree, so he asked in surprise: "This is the residence of the Master of Emptiness?" ”

Chu Ziheng stepped forward to greet her, touched her head and said: "No, Master of Emptiness, don't live here, this is the courtyard where my mother and concubine came to Huangming Temple to worship the Buddha when she was born, and this place has been empty since the death of my mother, only I will come here first every time I come!" ”

Ruoyun was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that this was the residence of the imperial concubine, although this courtyard was secluded, but it was very small and simple, if Chu Ziheng didn't say it, no one would have thought that the imperial concubine would often live here during her lifetime.

After all, Huangming Temple is a royal temple, and the royal courtyard has similarities, if the imperial concubine comes to worship the Buddha, it should live in a gorgeous palace, I didn't expect the imperial concubine to choose to live in such a small courtyard, it seems that she should be a low-key, simple person!

"Back then, how did the imperial concubine Niangniang die?" Ruoyun thought that for so many years, she never seemed to have asked Chu Ziheng's mother how she went, but she remembered that when she was in the Anyang Hou Mansion, her aunt said that it seemed that the imperial concubine did not die naturally.

When Chu Ziheng heard this, there was a sad look on his face, "Back then, it was said that my mother was seriously ill and died, but in fact, my mother was poisoned and died!" ”

"Poisoned?" Ruoyun was shocked, "Who poisoned it?" ”

"I don't know, since the death of my mother, my father and I have been investigating, but so far we have found nothing, but we deduce that we are in the same group as the person who killed me back then!" Chu Ziheng said.

"What happened back then?"

"That year, the family banquet in the palace, the father and all the concubines in the palace attended together, more than half of the banquet, the mother concubine was poisoned after drinking the wine poured by the girl, vomited blood on the spot, and then the imperial doctor failed to treat her, and died!" Chu Ziheng recalled the events of that year, and his heart was very heavy, and his mother went in front of his eyes.

He just watched his mother go, and he couldn't do anything at that time.

"Is that wine poisonous?"

"Yes, later the imperial doctor determined that the wine was highly poisonous!"

"What about the girl who poured the wine? Did she do it? ”

"It's just that the girl who poured the wine is my mother's confidant, who came from the Zhou family, and it is impossible to betray my mother. And that pot of wine has been drunk by many concubines before, including the queen. ”

"It's just that everyone is fine when they see that everyone is drinking, so the big girl will pour wine for the concubine. Because the concubine was more favored in the palace at that time, she aroused the jealousy of many concubines, so the people around her have always been very careful! Chu Ziheng said.

"You mean, it's all the wine in a pot that you drink, but everyone else is fine, and the concubine is poisoned?" Ruoyun asked with a frown.

"Yes, so this matter is very strange, people can't find out, the father and the emperor have investigated for a long time without results, but everyone in the palace said that the big girl murdered the master, because before this, only she had touched the wine jug, and the girl hit the wall on the spot to bury the mother concubine in order to prove her innocence!"

"But my father knows, it can't be that girl, that girl is the most loyal to her mother, but as soon as a person dies, the clue is gone!" Chu Ziheng said.

"Have you heard of a kind of wine jug, called the Jiuqu Mandarin Duck Pot?" Ruoyun suddenly thought of such a pot in the palace fight drama he watched in his previous life.

"Nine-song mandarin duck pot? What does it look like? ”

"There is a mezzanine inside this kind of nine-song mandarin duck pot, the pot is divided into two, both mezzanine can be filled with wine, there is a mechanism in the secret place on the pot, as long as the mechanism is pulled, the mezzanine can be converted, although it seems to be poured out of the same wine jug, but it is already a different wine!" Ruoyun explained.

Chu Ziheng was shocked when he heard this: "Yun'er, you mean, this kind of wine pot contains two kinds of wine, one is good wine and the other is poisonous wine, as long as you pull the mechanism, you can control which wine to pour out at will!" ”

"Exactly! So who did the concubine's maid take over the wine jug from back then, this is the key! ”

Chu Ziheng's face changed drastically, and the reason why he couldn't figure out for so many years seemed to be clear all of a sudden, but his face was still ugly: "At that time, because the targets were all on my mother's girl Ling Lan, everyone didn't notice these details, but at this time, I think it should be the queen, Concubine Shu and Concubine De's girls have all touched, but it's not clear who came first, and it seems that it is really vague who passed it on to Ling Lan!" ”

"And what about that flask?" Ruoyun asked.

"The wine jug seems to have been taken away, if it is still there, it should be in the forbidden room of the inner palace!"

"It seems that the other party acted very carefully, and there was no aftermath, I think the wine jug is estimated to have been destroyed, but after you return to the palace, you still privately check the specific situation of this matter, and then see if you can find the wine jug, maybe there will be any clues!" Ruoyun Road.

"Good! Yun'er, thanks to you, you are the lucky star of my life, otherwise this question has been bothering me for so many years! Chu Ziheng was thoughtful.

"Okay, I'm so polite! It's not too early, let's hurry over, don't miss the time for Lian Liguo's results! Ruoyun was not in a good mood when he saw that Chu Ziheng mentioned the matter of the concubine Niangniang, so he changed the topic.

"Okay, Yun'er, come with me!" As he spoke, he didn't go out through the door he had just entered, but took Ruoyun into the backyard.

It turned out that there was a back door in this small backyard, Chu Ziheng opened the back door, Ruoyun looked through the door, and it turned out to be a different world.

In the lush greenery on both sides, there is a winding path that leads into the distance.

Chu Ziheng took Ruoyun's hand and stepped on the path, saying as he walked: "We don't need to avoid suspicion here, because this road leads to the forbidden place in the mountain behind Huangming Temple, and no one is allowed to come in if you are idle." ”

"No wonder it's so secluded here!" Ruoyun nodded, the moment Chu Ziheng held her hand just now, Ruoyun had already swept around with his divine sense, and found that there were no people within five miles around, only a few people with very slow breathing in the distance, thinking that it was the residence of the master of emptiness.

"Yun'er, I don't know when I can hold your hand so openly and appear in front of people, I've been waiting for a long time!" Chu Ziheng suddenly took the hand holding Ruoyun, and said affectionately with his eyes.

Ruoyun's face was a little embarrassed by his look like this, and he was slightly relieved to see that Donghong and Fuwei were a few girls and little girls who were interested in following behind, and they didn't look at the two of them here.

"Ziheng, thank you!" Ruoyun suddenly said to Chu Ziheng.

"Yun'er, what's wrong with you?" Ruoyun suddenly said thank you, but Chu Ziheng was a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your sincerity, thank you for cherishing, thank you for your favor, thank you for making me have one more relative in this world, you have always paid silently for me for so many years, thank you for all your tolerance!" Ruoyun said emotionally.

Chu Ziheng is the emperor's third prince who is naturally noble, but for Ruoyun, he can let go of any figure, please her, pamper her, and care about her, and over the years, he has always unconditionally supported Ruoyun's decision, and always silently supported her with his own ability, paid attention to her, and was considerate of her.

He, a person who would have been praised by the stars and could have been cared for and concerned by everyone, did this step for Ruoyun, and even went down to some small details of eating, drinking and having fun.

Although Ruoyun is very powerful, but she is also a girl, all girls in the world need to be cared for and loved, sometimes Ruoyun feels that Chu Ziheng is like her other father, always silently supporting her behind her, making her very relieved and down-to-earth, every time she thinks of this, Ruoyun is very moved in her heart.

However, Ruoyun had never said these words to Chu Ziheng, because she always felt that her actual age was higher than Chu Ziheng, so some words were still difficult to say.

But today, because of talking about Chu Ziheng's mother, Ruoyun obviously felt that he was very lost and sad, Ruoyun wanted to say this to him, and wanted him to know that in this world, she Bai Ruoyun is also your Chu Ziheng's relatives and the closest lover, so don't feel sad and lonely!

"Yun'er, good Yun'er! Thank you, thank you, for telling me this! When Chu Ziheng heard Ruoyun's words, he was very excited, he even hugged Ruoyun, and kept repeating thank you in his mouth, maybe the mood in his heart now is not only thank you can be expressed, but he is now excited and a little words are exhausted.

"I want to thank you for coming to me, you are the greatest gift from God to me in this life. I know you're so beautiful, I sometimes feel like I'm not worthy of you, but I don't want to let go, because I like you so much, I love you, I can't bear to let go of you, I'm going to tie you to me for the rest of my life! Chu Ziheng hugged Ruoyun tightly and said, as if he wanted to melt Ruoyun into his body.

"Ziheng, thank you for not letting go, because you are also so beautiful, your immaculate innocence to me makes me a little ashamed, I am not willing to let go of this beautiful feeling that I finally get, Ziheng, I love you too!"

This is the time for Ruoyun to forget her identity, forget her strength, and ignore all kinds of past and present lives, as if she crossed over here to find this loyal feeling, so she just wants to be a little woman immersed in love, a little woman who depends on people.

Chu Ziheng finally heard Ruoyun say those three words, and there was an inexplicable pain in his heart, this pain was that kind of spasm of excitement, he could only hug Ruoyun tightly, breathing the familiar smell emanating from her body, and the next moment his heart was very peaceful and satisfied, and the entire atrium was filled!

From this moment on, they are no longer lonely in this world, because they are firmly in each other's hearts.

After hugging for a long time, the two parted a little shyly when they heard Donghong's sparkling cough.

In fact, Dong Hong's face was also flushed at this time, and she didn't want to do such an eyeless thing, but Dong Hong was educated by Mama Liu since she was a child, and she had a very strong concept of male and female defense, and she just saw the third prince hugging her own girl, and she kept holding it, and she also wanted the two to finally meet again, so that they could get along well.

But because the third prince hugged his own girl for too long and too long, it was so long that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she coughed unconsciously.

A few people sorted it out, but they all tacitly didn't mention what happened just now, and then got back on the road.

After walking through a few forks in the road, I finally saw a valley, because of the geographical location in the valley, it seems to be much cooler than the outside, at this time the birds are singing everywhere, but it is a paradise.

At the mouth of the valley into the valley, there is a stone tablet with two big words written on it, and there is a small character written below: "Idlers are exempt from entering a certain situation at their own risk"! R1152
