"What are you doing here?"

The five of them glanced at Honghu, and then they withdrew from the room and closed the door tightly, Qingyun put down the teacup, stepped forward to help Zhilan, and motioned Lin Han to get up, took Zhilan's hand and walked to the main chair and sat down, and said with a slight reproach: "You and I are like sisters, what do you have to say but it doesn't hurt, why are you so rusty?" ”

There were too many people at the city gate before, and she had never spoken to Zhi Lan, but now that she took a closer look, Zhi Lan was obviously a little thinner and haggard than more than a month ago, and there was a sorrow and pain between her eyebrows that could not be concealed, which made people feel sorry and worried when she looked at it.

The fifth brother said that Zhi Lan had gone to the prison to visit Lin Yuyan, but the fifth brother was worried that Zhi Lan would be used by Lin Yudi, so he secretly ordered the jailer not to let Zhi Lan in.

After doing this several times, Zhi Lan did not go to the prison again, and Sima Chun also turned Zhi Lan out of the palace, Zhi Lan had to stay in the previous dormitory, eating and reciting Buddha day and night.

It seems that Lin Han is not much better, his once handsome face is a little dull, he has grown a thick and black short beard, his right arm hangs weakly at his side, it is really useless, the dark black robe looks a little loose, and the whole person is depressed and silent.

Thinking about it, he should be worried that Zhi Lan will be decadent, after all, Zhi Lan lives in the palace, and he, a foreign minister, naturally can't enter the palace to visit Zhi Lan at will during the day, and the security in the palace is even stricter at night, he also can't trespass, and he didn't tell him about Zhi Lan's situation, of course he was anxious and couldn't sleep well.

This is her negligence, either find a reason to let Lin Han enter the palace, or simply let the two of them stay in the fifth brother's other village, with Lin Han to accompany Zhilan, Zhilan will not become so haggard because of Lin Yuyan.

"I'm sorry Sister Yun, I know, I shouldn't have bothered you just after you returned to the palace, it's just me...... I'm worried about my mother's ......," Zhilan whispered.

A pair of apricot eyes were filled with tears, his eyelashes trembled slightly, like jade teeth biting the whitened cherry lips, that helpless and mournful appearance, Lin Han on the side was distressed, but because of the light clouds, he could only try his best to suppress the impulse to step forward to appease Zhilan, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyes were dark.

Qingyun looked at Zhilan like this, and her heart hurt.

Zhilan is so innocent and kind, and has the noble status of a royal princess, she should live freely and happily, but because she has such a mother, she has been very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she is so well-behaved and sensible that it makes people feel distressed, and she is not as lively and reckless as other little princesses.

Clenching Zhi Lan's slightly cool and trembling hand, Qingyun sighed: "Lin Yu's sin is unforgivable, I will personally send her on her way tomorrow!" ”

"Tomorrow?" Zhi Lan's face instantly turned snow-white, her eyes widened and she looked at Qingyun in a daze, and the tears she couldn't bear fell silently.

"It's time to make a break about something." Qingyun nodded slightly.

lowered her eyes slightly, there was sadness and sadness between her eyebrows, and Zhilan's low voice was hesitant and helpless: "I know that my mother is heinous, but I ...... I ......"

"Don't worry, what I promised you will be done." As if guessing what Zhilan was going to say, Qingyun interrupted her in a soft voice.

Suddenly lifted his eyes and looked at Qingyun steadily, Zhilan's misty eyes flashed with crystal, and her lips moved slightly: "I'm sorry Sister Yun, I made you embarrassed, I ......" choked up.

"My silly sister." took out a Jinpa and gently wiped away the tears on Zhilan's face, and Qingyun pretended to be disgusted: "Lin Yutong is Lin Yutong, you are you, what she does has nothing to do with you, not to mention that you and I are like sisters, as long as you live happily and happily, let alone this one request, it is ten hundred, I will also agree, or do you think I will not believe in my words?" ”

"I know that Sister Yun has loved me very much since I was a child, but the hatred of killing my mother is not shared, and my mother has committed the felony of rebellion, but I ask Sister Yun to ...... I know I'm a strong man, and I ...... Sister Yun, don't worry, I won't let my mother do evil again. Throwing herself into Qingyun's warm arms, Zhilan burst into tears and swore to promise.

Holding Zhi Lan's body as light as a feather, Qingyun was full of pity and gently patted her back: "Of course I believe in Zhi Lan, but what are your plans in the future?" ”

Zhilan seems to be weak, but in fact, she is tenacious and stubborn, and after this incident, she definitely does not want to stay in the palace to touch the scene.

Standing up from Qingyun's arms, Zhilan picked up her sleeves to wipe the tears from her face, hung her head slightly, and her choked voice was full of firmness: "After the great funeral of the emperor and the enthronement ceremony of Sister Yun, I will leave the capital and go to Qingping Nunnery to accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, burn incense and pray day and night, and pray for Sister Yun's happiness and health, and the peace of the country and the people!" ”

"You're going to Kiyohei-an?" Qingyun frowned when he heard this.

Qingping Nunnery is located on a lofty mountain in Shushan County, and her father and her Weifu visited Shushan County privately.

That place is thousands of miles away from the capital, extremely remote and desolate, except for the temple, there are almost no people around the temple, the temple on the mountain is dilapidated because of disrepair, there is only one abbot and seven or eight teachers in the nunnery, while eating fasting and chanting Buddha, while planting vegetables and fruits, occasionally going down the mountain into the city, exchanging vegetables and fruits for necessary daily necessities, living a very poor life.

Although after going down the mountain, she told the county guard of Shushan County to repair and consolidate the Qingping Nunnery, but the climate on the mountain is cold, and Zhilan's body is very weak, how can she bear such hardship?

"I don't object to you eating fasting and chanting Buddha, but I don't agree with you going to Qingping Nunnery, if you don't want to go to Cining Nunnery, there are so many royal palaces, you choose a place that fits your heart, and I will immediately order someone to decorate it."

Raising her eyes to look at Qingyun, Zhilan opened her mouth and didn't say anything, Qingyun had already continued: "As long as you are pious, you can eat and chant Buddha anywhere, and besides, Qingping Nunnery is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the conditions are very difficult, how can I rest assured that where you are going?" And it's not easy for me to see you, can't you bear to see my sister again? ”

"I didn't see Sister Yun, I just, just ......" Zhilan was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

"It's good that I don't see my sister." Holding Zhilan's hand, Qingyun's gentle voice revealed no doubt: "Okay, I will immediately arrange someone to decorate the Red Maple Villa, which is only a hundred miles away from the capital, the environment is quiet and elegant, it is very suitable for you to practice, and it is also convenient for me to visit you often, and after the funeral of my father and the enthronement ceremony, I will personally send you over." ”

Knowing that Sister Yun's move was completely out of love for herself, Zhilan was both moved and guilty, nodded and said, "I just listen to Sister Yun's arrangement." ”

"That's very good." Qingyun relieved his heart at this time, turned his eyes to Lin Han and said: "Envoy Lin, you have made great contributions to the righteous destruction of your relatives this time, this palace has promoted you to the deputy commander of the purple guard, and given you another mansion, tomorrow afternoon, Xiao Xiazi will go to your new mansion with the will of the palace, together with your official uniform and official seal, and you will be at ease to do things for the imperial court in the future." In addition, this palace allows you to go to the execution ground tomorrow to see Lin Bingquan and the Lin family on their last journey. ”

Lin Han knelt down and said earnestly: "The criminal minister begs the ninth princess to take back her fate!" ”

"What does Deputy Commander Lin mean by this?" Qingyun's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, and Zhilan also looked at Lin Han in surprise.

"The criminal minister has no intention of pursuing a career, and he has been uneasy to be favored by the ninth princess and promoted to the purple-clothed guard deacon." Lin Han said respectfully: "This time, the Lin family conspired against the nine clans, the criminal minister is within the nine clans of the Lin family, he should be beheaded for the righteous law, and the ninth princess was extrajudicially gracious, and he was not guilty, and the criminal minister is already grateful to Dade, and now the ninth princess has been promoted to the rank of criminal minister, and the criminal minister is really ashamed of the ninth princess, and he is not qualified for the position of deputy commander, so he begs the ninth princess to take back his fate, and implore the ninth princess to depose the criminal minister and demote him to the common people!" ”

Raising his eyebrows, he stared at Lin Han lightly and said: "This palace understands your feelings, but this palace has always rewarded and punished clearly, although you are a member of the Lin family, you did not participate in the Lin family's rebellion, and you reported Lin Bingquan for the merits of Jiangshan Sheji, this palace promoted you to the deputy commander of Yu Gong, you don't need to feel uneasy." ”

"Weichen has made up his mind, and he begs the ninth princess to take back his fate!" Lin Han's attitude was extremely resolute.

Looking at Lin Han quietly, Qingyun Qingli's face was as quiet as a pool of water, and his dark pupils were as deep as ink, which contained too much insight and clarity.

"I'm very puzzled why you insist on shirking all your duties?" Seeing that Lin Han opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Qingyun smiled and said, "Don't tell this palace that you are panicked or incompetent, this palace must listen to the truth." ”

Glancing at Zhi Lan, who was also looking at him with a puzzled face, Lin Han took a deep breath and said like a strong man: "Ninth Princess Shengming, what Wei Chen just said is indeed not a reason, the real reason is that Wei Chen wants to guard Princess Yongle and never leave until death!" Ask the ninth princess to be fulfilled! After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

"You want to be by Zhilan's side?"

"Yes!"

"Zhilan is a royal princess, and she is the most beloved sister in this palace, you are just a foreign minister, in what capacity do you protect her?"

"Weichen ......" looked at Zhilan, and Lin Han said with difficulty: "Weichen is willing to protect Princess Yongle as a guard!" ”

Qingyun was suddenly happy, but his face was silent: "The palace guards are all strong in martial arts and brave and loyal, why do you think this palace gives up the palace guards and allows you to protect Zhilan?" ”

Lin Han was stunned, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was full of firmness and inexplicable feelings: "Princess Yongle is born, and Weichen is born!" Weichen is dead, Princess Yongle is alive! ”

Qing Yun stared straight at Lin Han who was loud on the ground, but seeing that his handsome face was dyed with calmness and perseverance, and there was not the slightest hint of dodging and weakness in his dark eyes, Qingyun was deeply grateful.

Zhilan is too sentimental, and she has such an unbearable experience, having Lin Han by her side, at least it won't make her cranky.

What's more, she could see that Lin Han was sincere to Zhilan, and if Zhilan accepted Lin Han, she would definitely live happily, and she would be relieved.
