"Long time no see, Princess Liyao." Su Luoran lowered her voice and smiled and took a few steps forward, carefully examining her outfit today, "Your Highness is so cautious, even though she is not yet a full year old, she is dressed as a woman. ”

Luo Liyao was born at the time of heavy snow in Qiushui City, and the vision of heaven and earth that appeared at the same time as the birth of the princess is still a miracle in the mouths of the people.

Seeing this, Meng Yan directly blocked in front of Luo Liyao, his eyes were full of vigilance: "Stand back." ”

Su Luoran blinked, but did not obediently retreat.

"He's someone you can trust." Luo Liyao gently pushed Meng Yan, bypassed him and approached Su Luoran, "You have been in Qiushui City?" ”

"Just arrived a few days ago." Su Luoran put away the wooden sign with big characters written on it beside him, and after the people around him who were watching the excitement were bored and scattered, his eyes turned from the two of them before he said, "It's the day of the night banquet in Qionghua Palace." ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

"In the future, I will find someone to look for you at the Tianyi Inn." If it weren't for the fact that she knew that she couldn't beat it, Luo Liyao would have an urge to do it, "That's it, farewell." ”

"Huh-" Su Luoran was still waiting to say more, but Luo Liyao had already turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing that Luo Liyao had already left, Meng Yan had no reason to stay any longer, and after glancing at Su Luoran, he turned around and followed.

"It's so unpleasant...... Su Luoran was a little stunned for a while, and shook her head with a wry smile, "Looking at the way we went out together, I thought the relationship was very good." ”

Just as he was about to put away the borrowed table and chair and put it back, he suddenly felt a chill in his back - as if a thin needle had pierced his body violently, and the vigilance he had cultivated after years of crawling outside made him instantly serious.

However, when Su Luoran turned his head, he looked around but didn't notice anything unusual, but inexplicably felt that there seemed to be a lot of outsiders.

Tianqi has always been respected by the dark color (1), followed by bright yellow, lake blue and other bright colors, mostly used by royal families. Although there is no ban on ordinary people wearing clothes of this color in the country, everyone is very careful to avoid it, so as not to cause disaster from heaven.

At this time, the Chaohui Temple was full of people, but most of them were people wearing dark clothes - unless they did not belong to Tianqi, there were few people who wore the clothes used by the royal family in such a grand manner.

Although Su Luoran thought so in her heart, the movements in her hands did not stop at all, and she did not show any unusual looks. It's just that she secretly slandered herself in her heart, Luo Liyao should have found out a long time ago, and pretended to be angry with herself, this thought is simply too deep, and it is really half a point unchanged compared to three years ago.

He shook his head slightly, put the tables and chairs in the temple back, and then Shi Shiran walked towards the city.

......

"I really don't care about you next time!" Shi Yue was really angry, "It's such a big person, why do you still like to be like a child?" ”

Luo Liyao: "......"

Luo Liyao didn't refute, and obediently hung her head and let her say.

"Alright, alright." Meng Bi hurriedly came out to play a round, "Let's go to the temple to worship and leave." ”

"Be careful." Luo Liyao pulled Shi Yuezhen's sleeve, "There are many people here who are not Tianqi. ”

Shi Yuezhen rolled his eyes, but he also paid attention to it in his heart, and lowered his voice: "How do you see it?" ”

"These people are dressed in dark clothes." Meng Mo moved closer silently, "The people of Tianqi know that Xuanxi is easy to wear. ”

Hearing this, Shi Yue really glanced at the people around him silently, a little surprised: "How can there be so much?" ”

"That's a lot." Luo Liyao straightened her veil, "I won't go, I'll wait for you in the carriage." ”

"Then I'm not going either." Shi Yue really saw that she was about to turn around and get into the carriage, and immediately followed, "Miss Meng and the young general go." ”

"Temple...... Isn't Miss going to find someone who is destined? Meng Wei was a little surprised, and hurriedly glanced at his brother, but Meng Wei just couldn't see it.

Luo Liyao looked back and smiled, although there was a veil to block it, it was difficult to hide her joy overflowing at this time: "Is there a destined person?" I've found it. ”

Without waiting for Meng Bi to react, Luo Liyao had already entered the carriage, and Shi Yuezhen followed closely behind.

"Really?" Shi Yuezhen grabbed the hand she was about to remove the veil, "Just so fast?" ”

"What really?" Luo Liyao looked inexplicable, "What do you think it is?" ”

"That's it...... You and the Major General? Shi Yue was really even more puzzled than her, "Isn't it what you said about someone who is destined?" ”

Luo Liyao's other hand had already lifted the veil, and she suddenly felt more comfortable breathing: "It's Su Luoran." ”

"Huh? Who? Shi Yue was very puzzled in his heart.

"Three years ago, the Taoist priest I met when I went out of the palace with my eldest brother." Luo Liyao shook her head helplessly, "I know you can't remember it at all." ”

Shi Yuezhen almost bit off his tongue: "That Taoist priest who wants to swagger and deceive you to see through it?" What kind of person is this! ”

"He's amazing." Luo Liyao shook her head, "You'll know later." ”

Luo Liyao secretly thought that with Su Luoran's help, the road would be much smoother in the future.

Meng Yan was very helpless when she kept asking questions, and hurriedly pulled her into the temple, just begging her to finish reading it early and leave early.

……

When the sun was setting when a few people set out on their way home, the people who had worked in the fields were talking about the official way back in twos and threes, and some of them were pushing the strange things they saw when they came, and some tools and sundries were placed on them.

Seeing that Luo Liyao was very curious, Shi Yue was really busy asking the coachman to stop the carriage and go down to inquire in person. When the people saw such a good-looking young lady getting down from the exquisite carriage, they took the rare initiative to talk to them, and they were happy to answer all their questions.

Shi Yuezhen chatted with them for a while before getting back into the carriage, and after a few sips of tea in a hurry, he said, "This is a bit strange. ”

"What's this strange method?" Meng Bi took her empty teacup, poured another one, and tested the temperature before handing it to her again, "You speak slowly." ”

Shi Yuezhen took another sip before he said, "Those people said that this thing was taught to them by a teenager half a month ago. ”

"Teenager?" Luo Liyao opened the curtain and looked at the figures of the people returning home, "That thing is for transportation." ”

"Yes. Most of the people's homes are in the city, and the roads except for the official roads are a little steep and difficult to walk, and the carriages cannot easily go, so these people used to carry their own tools to work in the fields. Shi Yuezhen drank all the tea in the teacup and waved his hand to indicate that he no longer needed tea, "But half a month ago, a teenager passed by here and put together something from some waste wooden planks and gave it to them, saying that it could be used to transport vehicles on the path." They tried it and found that it was really easy to use and saved the effort to carry the tools, so they all learned to make it—and it was quite fitting, and they all shared it with several families. ”

Luo Liyao patted the dust on the hem of her skirt and said, "Can you ask what is the name of that thing?" Where is the boy now? ”

"They said, "The young man said that this thing was called a cow or a horse, and they only called it a wooden ox." Shi Yuezhen sat down, "As for the young man, it seems that he lives in the innermost house in the village ahead. ”

"Check it out." Luo Liyao instructed the coachman, "While it's still dark, I'm not in a hurry to go back." ”

The coachman naturally received the order, and the carriage drove towards the village with the curious and shocked eyes of the surrounding people.

……

"Seems to be here." Luo Liyao lifted her skirt and carefully got out of the carriage, looking left and right at the somewhat simple small courtyard in front of her, "It's really in the innermost." "Because this place is already a bit remote, and beyond that is the lush forests of the mountains.

"Don't be rude." Meng Yan pulled back Meng Bi, who had stepped into the courtyard with half a foot, "You can't enter other people's places without the permission of the master's family." ”

"I understand the reason...... Meng Bi looked innocent and pointed to the courtyard door, "But this door is not closed at all." ”

Several people looked at each other speechlessly, and they all felt a little strange in their hearts.

Although the people of Tianqi are simple, they have not reached the level of not closing their doors at night, and it is not only rare for such an owner who does not lock the door in his yard, but also strange.

"Anyone?" Shi Yuezhen shouted inside, and echoes could be faintly heard in such a somewhat silent atmosphere.

"Someone." Luo Liyao pointed to some herbs in the corner of the courtyard that had not yet been cleaned up.

Hearing this, Shi Yue really glanced at the herbs piled up together, and rolled his eyes: "The toxicity is greater than the medicinal properties, it must be a quack." ”

Seeing that no one answered, Luo Liyao stepped directly into the courtyard and walked towards the slightly closed door.

"Huh!" Shi Yue was really a little surprised, and hurriedly followed, "You be careful." ”

"Sniff, what does this smell like?" Luo Liyao stopped in front of the door and pointed to the barely noticeable crack in the door.

Shi Yuezhen approached the crack in the door and sniffed it, and his face changed instantly, "Not good!" Saying that, she didn't care about any etiquette, so she pushed the door straight in.

Seeing that she walked in directly, and her face was still very anxious, Luo Liyao turned around and glanced at the mask behind her, and then walked in as well.

Seeing this, Meng Wei wanted to follow in, but when he saw that his brother had no intention of going in, he suddenly wondered: "Aren't you going in?" What if His Highness and Miss Shi are in any danger inside? ”

"It's enough for you to go in." Meng Yan shook his head, "I shouldn't go in, just guard outside." ”

"Why are there so many exquisitenesses." Meng Bi glanced at him, but immediately followed.

Meng Wei watched her figure disappear from sight, and smiled helplessly in her heart: the look in her eyes just now clearly didn't want him to follow.

Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want to be snooped on, maybe this is Luo Liyao's.

Although the interior of the house is a little shabby and simple, it is surprisingly spacious, and it is even divided into several small rooms.

Shi Yuezhen walked too fast, Luo Liyao had to follow the strange smell to find it, and as expected, she saw Shi Yuezhen's figure in the room with the strongest smell, but the room was full of smoke, and it was really a little unreal.

"You're weak, don't inhale too much." At this time, Shi Yuezhen seemed to reach out and prick a silver needle at a person lying on the ground, "This thing is poisonous." ”

Luo Liyao obediently covered her mouth and nose, dispersed the obstructive smoke, and finally saw the appearance of the people on the ground clearly-it looked like a teenager, who should be slightly older than them, but now her face was tinged with a strange blue and purple, and there were a few silver needles inserted in Shi Yuezhen, and her originally fresh and handsome face was a little funny at this time.

"He's poisoned." Seeing this, Luo Liyao also understood, "Can you save it?" ”

"I can save it." Shi Yuezhen slowly pierced the silver needle on the young man's head a few points deeper, "But I can only apply needles now to slow down the spread of toxicity, and I still have to rely on antidotes to completely detoxify." ”

"Where to find the cure?" Luo Liyao glanced at Meng Bi, who came in from behind, "Is there an antidote in the pile of medicinal herbs in the courtyard just now?" ”

Shi Yuezhen shook his head: "You need to blindly exhaust the dragon's blood (2), only in the palace." ”

"Take it back." Luo Liyao saw that she had already finished administering the needle and stood up, and glanced at the still not very good faces of the people on the ground, "I'll go to Meng Wei to help him get him into the carriage." ”

......

Probably because of Luo Liyao and the cover, the guards at the palace gate let them go without any intention of carefully inspecting them.

After Meng Wei placed the boy in a room in the side hall of the Canglan Palace, he faintly felt that something was wrong—the journey seemed to be too smooth, as if there was something secretly that swept away all the obstacles they might encounter, so that the behavior of bringing people into the palace without permission was extremely smooth. Seeing that Luo Liyao did not have any doubts or surprises, Meng Wei and Meng Wei glanced at each other, and the doubts in their hearts deepened.

Luo Liyao left Bang Hua to help Shi Yuezhen, and sent Bang Yue to the Tai Hospital to get the dragon's blood, only then did she remember Meng Qi and Meng Bi who were still in the palace.

"Thank you for today, Major General and Miss Meng." Luo Liyao took the two out of the side hall, "Please also ask the two of you to keep your mouth shut about today's events." ”

Meng Mo blinked, and secretly glanced at the brother beside him: "I won't say it." ”

Luo Liyao looked at Meng Wei, and Meng Wei also looked at her.

Both of them have frank eyes and do not shy away from it.

Meng Wei was relieved, and bowed and said, "Since His Highness knows what he is doing, the minister will naturally try his best to support it." ”

"Thank you, Major General." Luo Liyao was not too polite, and raised her hand to beckon the maid on the side, "Send one to the young general and Miss Meng." ”

Meng Bi was about to say something, but was directly pulled away by Meng Wei.

Luo Liyao watched the figures of the two walk out of the Canglan Palace, quietly like a statue, not knowing what to think.

I don't know how long I stood like this before Bang Hua's voice came from behind me: "Your Highness, that person has woken up." ”

Hearing this, Luo Liyao came back to her senses, turned around and said, "Go and have a look." ”
