Qinglian smiled bitterly, "People like me are the same everywhere, and no one cares." ”

Lan Wan'er lowered her head and didn't say anything, Qinglian looked at Lan Wan'er's appearance, and said with a wry smile, "Niangniang, you don't have to worry about me." The emperor won't love me. ”

Lan Wan'er raised her eyebrows to express her puzzlement, and Qinglian continued to explain, "He accepted me as a concubine just to plug the mouths of those ministers, he made me drink contraceptive pills, and he didn't touch me, I think, he will never love me." ”

Lan Xuan'er was a little sad and relieved, Wei Xuanyun still cared about their feelings, and she had never betrayed herself. Qinglian continued, "I have lived in my aunt's house since I was a child, and my uncle wanted to pursue a career in office, but he didn't have a daughter at home, so he recognized me as a daughter, just to let me enter the palace to pave the way for their son. ”

Lan Wan'er frowned, not feeling sad. In fact, Qinglian didn't do anything wrong, but in that era, Qinglian had no choice. Lan Wan'er spoke softly, "If you want, I can ask the emperor to send you out of here, and you can live your life incognito and live your life again." ”

"But my uncle won't let me go, they will just keep squeezing me, I ...... Forget it, don't talk about this, let the mother smile. ”

Lan Wan'er sighed, but Qinglian said, "But Niangniang, you have to be careful of the Queen Mother, definitely." ”

Lan Wan'er shook her head, she understood Qinglian's pain. It's just that she really doesn't want to share Wei Xuanyun with Qinglian. The two continued to exchange pleasantries and left.

Lan Xuan'er returned to the palace the next day.

Wei Xuanyun was as happy as a child who saw candy, "Juan'er, are you back?" ”

Lan Wan'er nodded, "Xuanyun, in fact, I know that you are good to me, and I also understand your helplessness, Xuanyun, thank you." ”

Wei Xuanyun also smiled, "Well, okay, let's go and rest." I'll be with you. ”

At dinner in the evening, Lan Xuan'er planned to discuss with Wei Xuanyun about opening a medical clinic outside the house.

"Xuanyun, I want to go to the palace to open a medical hall outside the palace and treat those people."

Wei Xuanyun agreed without thinking about it, "Okay, I'll ask people to prepare the medicinal herbs and the shop, you can go." But I have to come back every night, I don't want to see you. ”

"Okay." Lan Wan'er nodded.

Recently, the people have said that the queen mother came to the west of the city to hang the pot to help the world, opened a big medical hall, and also accepted apprentices, which attracted the people to praise one after another.

"Didn't someone say before that the queen was crazy? I think it's good, and I've done a lot of good deeds. ”

Another citizen chimed in, "Yes, she has indeed done a lot of things to help our people, and her medical clinic is in the west of the city. ”

Since then, the rumors of madness have been dispelled.

One day, Lan Wan'er saw a letter sent to the hospital. The letter wrote: The old people meet, see you in the Mengdu Restaurant in the west of the city.

For the sake of prudence, Lan Xuan'er planned to go easily, so that even if there was danger, she would not panic.

There were people coming and going in the restaurant, all of whom were rich and noble, and Lan Wan'er was both surprised and happy when she saw Lin Sheng.

"Lin Sheng! Long time no see! Lan Xuan'er shouted excitedly. Lin Sheng looked at Lan Xuan'er, who had been disguised, and didn't quite understand why this person knew his name, Lan Xuan'er hurriedly ripped off the human skin mask, "It's me." I didn't know it was you today, I changed my face. ”

Lin Sheng suddenly laughed, "You're really still so smart, how are you doing?" ”

Lan Wan'er shook her head, "It's not good, anyway, I've experienced a lot, and I understand a lot." What about you? ”

Lin Sheng frowned, "Me too, a lot of things have happened, I almost died on the battlefield, haha, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future." ”

Lan Wan'er nodded and said, "Then how are you recovering now?" Need help with your injuries? ”

Lin Sheng hurriedly waved his hand, "It's been a long time, hey, is Fen Ai also in the hospital, I haven't seen her for a long time, has the little guy grown?" ”

Hearing Fen Ai, Lan Xuan'er still quickly turned red. "Fen Ai is gone, she...... She was murdered by an adulterer. Tears fell after saying that.

Lin Sheng was taken aback, and then reacted and hurriedly comforted Lan Xuan'er, "Okay, it's all over, you are still young, and you will have children." Lan Xuan'er told Lin Sheng that she already had a little prince, and Lin Sheng nodded, "That's good." ”

Then he said, "Actually, I came to you this time for something important. ”

Lan Wan'er nodded and motioned for Lin Sheng to continue.

"Does Xie Dongxiao remember? He has now been promoted from the leader of the forbidden army to a general, and he has self-respect. There is a big network of connections in the Snow Dragon Country. Xiaoxiao, she has always hated you, and now she is with Xie Dongxiao, and she wants to provoke a war between the two countries, one is to avenge you for the former monarch of the Snow Dragon Kingdom, and the other is to seize power. The Snow Dragon Kingdom used to be a vassal state of the Fengwu Kingdom, so the emperor asked me to tell you, which means to reach an alliance, you defend against foreign enemies, and we clean up the internal invaders. ”

Lan Wan'er listened quietly to Lin Sheng's words, and couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that there are so many people who hate me." I'll tell him about it, where can I give you news? ”

Lin Sheng spoke, "I'm here to tell you the news secretly this time, naturally I can't be too eye-catching, and I'm not sure where I am, I'll contact you when the time comes." ”

Lan Wan'er nodded, "Be careful, I'll go into the palace immediately and tell Xuanyun." Don't worry. ”

After saying that, the two separated.

Palace.

"Juan'er, you're back, so early today, have you cured all the people?" Wei Xuanyun joked, while quickly holding Lan Wan'er in his arms, lightly brominating the medicinal fragrance on Lan Wan'er's body.

"Xuanyun, you let go first, I have something to tell you, hurry up." Lan Xuan'er said as she pulled herself out of Wei Xuanyun's arms.

"You say, what's wrong?" Wei Xuanyun still didn't let go of Lan Xuan'er.

"I saw Lin Sheng today, and he said that the Snow Dragon Monarch is mainly allied with us." Lan Wan'er said solemnly.

Wei Xuanyun also became serious when she heard this: "Alliance? ”

"Xie Dongxiao is a general now, Xiaoxiao is with him, she wants to kill me to take revenge, and she also wants to provoke a war so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman." Lan Xuan'er hesitated, she was worried that Wei Xuanyun would annoy her and constantly bring trouble, and her eyes were full of dodge.

Wei Xuanyun saw Lan Xuan'er's concerns, and took Lan Xuan'er's hand and put it in his heart, "Xuan'er, in my eyes, you are always the most important." ”

Then Wei Xuanyun wrote a letter and planned to send someone to send it, Lan Xuan'er spoke, "I'll go and take it, this matter is important after all, it's safer for me to go." And I also made an appointment with Lin Sheng. ”

"Okay, then you stay safe."

Sure enough, two days later, Lin Sheng came to the medical hall.

Lan Xuan'er handed the letter to Lin Sheng, "Xuan Yun's letter to your monarch, we agree to form an alliance with you. ”

Lin Sheng took the letter and put it in his arms, "Okay, I'll set off immediately, by the way, I forgot to tell you last time that Xie Dongxiao's people will sneak into this imperial examination, you should be careful." ”

Ten days later. The preparatory phase for the imperial examination began.

Lan Xuan'er and Wei Xuanyun discussed that they would go together this time to see the performance of those candidates.

After Lan Xuan'er and Wei Xuanyun packed up, they planned to hide their identities to secretly visit those candidates, and Lan Xuan's children dressed up as men. On the day of the exam, Lan Xuan'er and Wei Xuanyun were still secretly observing in the dark, Qiu Zhiguang, who ranked first, was indeed unforgettable, and his abilities were obvious to all those present, and everyone present praised them. But the personality is more impulsive, and he is full of arrogance and contempt for other candidates.

Qiu Zhiguang's words spread in the air, "Hahaha, this question is too simple, Lao Tzu can answer it with his eyes closed." Are you embarrassed to show it to the teacher? Hahaha" The others expressed displeasure and disgust. "After you finish the exam yourself, you don't have to slander and slander the examiner's questions here, and you don't have to slander us!"

Qiu Zhiguang laughed, "Lao Tzu is too lazy to tell you, he is extremely stupid." ”

As the second place, Du Wenwei's achievements have also won praise from one vote, but he is not as ruthless and unreasonable as the person just now, and he is more calm and respectable.

"Why are you so aggressive when you're already number one?" Du Wencheng said coldly, and soon a group of candidates echoed her.

Lan Xuan'er saw all this in her eyes, she and Wei Xuanyun glanced at each other, and the two of them walked outside the door with a tacit understanding.

"I think we should use Du Wenwei, his calm and introverted personality is more conducive to our appointment." Lan Wan'er suggested.

Wei Xuanyun shook his head, "No, we have to use both of them." ”

Lan Wan'er frowned, "How to use it?" Do you mean to say that Qiu is used on the surface? And then we reuse the Du Wen Building? Wei Xuanyun nodded.

"Someone." Wei Xuanyun instructed, "You must check these two pieces of personal information for me, and you must be careful." ”

"Yes." The people of the Purple Jade Pavilion quickly went to do it.

The next day, Wei Xuanyun and Lan Xuan'er got the information.

"Master, there are many people who flatter Qiu Zhiguang openly and secretly, but he doesn't seem to pay attention to it, but his subordinates observed that he went to Yanbei Wangfu last night and came out about two hours. As for Du Wen's family, his family is innocent and of good character, and there is almost nothing to investigate. ”

After the people from the Purple Jade Pavilion left, Wei Xuanyun frowned, "It turns out that Qiu Zhiguang has already followed the master. It's just the right time for us to catch him. ”

"But could that fine work sent by Xie Dongxiao before be one of the two of them?" Lan Wan'er asked.

Wei Xuanyun shook his head, "It's still unclear who they are, at least the only thing we can be sure of is Qiu Shuguang's team." ”

A few days later, the results of the imperial examination came out. As expected, Qiu is the champion, but Du Wenzhuang, who has always been calm, is also among the best, and the third place is Lu Shan.

Above the main hall, the eunuch read the official titles of the three people.

Qiu Zhiguang was named prime minister, Lu Yi became the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Du Wencheng became the waiter of the Ministry of Officials.

There are many supporters who support Du Wencheng and feel sorry for Du Wencheng, but because Qiu Shuguang's limelight and ability are too dazzling, they have no other way but to express pity.

Wei Xuanyun instructed the secret guards to search for the people who had encircled Qiu Shuguang, and it took the secret guards two full days to completely find out these people, sort them out and present them to Wei Xuanyun.
