The competitions of the Wan Dynasty Association are going on as usual, and the murderer of Liu Ruo has not been found on the side of Dali Temple. is a little music girl, and it probably doesn't deserve too many people's efforts for her. Although the investigation is still continuing on the surface, everyone knows in their hearts that the matter will eventually be closed.

Lee Jae-ho is also reluctant to work more on "waste chess", and he has to carefully prepare for other competitions, so he ignores Liu Ruo and Taoxi. Taoxi people are soft-spoken, and they can't find the murderer in person and avenge their sister, and they are emaciated day by day. Rao is Yuncai looked distressed, but it didn't help.

As for the murderers Wulan and the siblings, what they are worried about is not that they are found to be murderous, but how to avoid the emperor's attention.

Tomorrow is a song and dance competition, and usually princesses from all over the world will also take this opportunity to show off their talents. Ulanyan was also forced to prepare a dance for the emperor.

In the west chamber of Yaxin Xiaozhu, Xue Niang and Wulan Yan brothers and sisters sat and drank tea and discussed. The strange thing is that Xue Niang sat in the front seat, while Wu Lan Yan and Wu Lan Yan sat in the bottom seat.

"Tomorrow's performance, is Yan'er ready? You know, your father values this opportunity very much, and Yan'er shouldn't let him down. "Snow Niang's posture is arrogant, not at all like the appearance of a subordinate.

"Yan'er knows." As soon as she mentioned pleasing the emperor, Wu Lanyan was not very happy: "Does my mother have anything else?" It's okay, and the daughter withdrew. ”

Wu Lanyan actually called Xue Niang "mother"? Could it be that this snow lady is not a princess nurse, but a biological mother? But since she is the biological mother of the princess, why do she hide her identity and pretend to be a subordinate? There are so many secrets of this Ulan country!

"Wait a minute. I have something to ask you. Xue Niang stopped Wu Lanyan, who wanted to leave. She raised her eyes to look at the brother and sister, frowning slightly displeasure: "The murder case of the Guli musician who has been making a lot of noise in the past few days, but you did it?" ”

"Madame's anger! This matter is all done by the child alone, not his sister's business! If the lady wants to punish, just punish the child alone! Wu Lanyu knew that he couldn't hide it from Xue Niang, so he immediately admitted his mistake and took the responsibility for the crime.

"Good! It's you! Xue Niang smiled angrily: "Why do you want to kill people at will? Before entering the palace, did you forget all the words that your father told you? ”

"Don't dare! It's just that...... The musician had to die! Wu Lan glanced at his sister weakly, and lied: "That day, the child and his sister met to practice in the bamboo forest, and while practicing, they talked about their father's plan. I never wanted to be heard by the stinky girl who accidentally broke into the bamboo forest! The child has no choice but to kill people......"

"Humph! If so, that musician is damned too! But can't you do it cleanly? "Isn't it only a matter of time before the corpses are laid out there with such a loud bang?

"It's the child's negligence! Please punish Madame! Ulan fell to his knees on one knee and pleaded guilty.

Xue Niang looked at the two of them strangely: "I know that Yan'er is indispensable to participate in this matter, but you are protecting her!" ”

"Yan'er is a younger sister, and the child is an older brother, so she naturally has to protect her sister." Ulan smiled awkwardly.

"If only you knew she was your sister!" Xue Niang looked at Wu Lan with disdain, and insinuated: "If someone forgets their identity and has some undivided thoughts, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"Mother! What are you talking about? Wu Lanyan heard the irony in Xue Niang's words, and she complained for Wu Lan.

"Shut up! You should also remember where you are, what to do and what not to do, all for me to think clearly! Xue Niang took Wu Lanyan's hand and patted it, but the words were more like saying to Wu Lanyan: "Brother and sister can only be brother and sister after all, and they can't become anything else, understand?" ”

Wu Lanyan bit her lower lip and refused to answer. Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, Xue Niang didn't bother to persuade her anymore, so she directly ordered: "Although you are brothers and sisters, you must also know how to avoid suspicion, and you are not allowed to go to the bamboo forest alone to practice in the future!" In addition, there is nothing to do on weekdays, so Yan'er will not go out of Xiaozhu! ”

"Mother?!" Isn't this grounding her in disguise? Ulanyan protested, but the protests were ineffective.

No matter how Wu Lanyan begged, Xue Niang just didn't agree to let her out of Yaxin Xiaozhu. Annoyed by her, Xue Niang simply hid in the room by herself and closed the door.

"I'm!" Wu Lanyan dropped another cup, which was already the third she had broken.

"Yan'er is angry, if you don't go out, you won't go out. Anyway, tomorrow's performance, Madame can't stop you. "Besides, they didn't plan to stay in the palace for too long, and once they had achieved their goal, they should go home.

"Do you really want me to perform? Didn't you see the Dog Emperor staring at me with squinting eyes on that day? If I go to perform, he'll choose me! What do you want me to do then? Wu Lanyan was almost angry and cried by his "heartless" words.

"Yan'er, how could I be willing to push you to jump into the 'fire pit'? It's imperative to perform, but we can try to get the Emperor not to choose you! "Last night he thought about it all night, and finally came up with a solution that was not the way.

"What's the solution? Tell me about it! Wu Lanyan anxiously tugged at her brother's sleeve.

"It's just that this method requires Yan'er to make sacrifices and endure some pain......" Ulan looked at Ulanyan guiltily, saying that he wanted to protect her, but in the end, he still had to hurt her to achieve his goal.

"Yan'er is not afraid! As long as I don't marry the emperor, Yan'er will pay no price! Wu Lanyan hugged Wu Lanyan and whispered: "As long as you can be with you, Yan'er is willing to do anything!" ”

"Okay, Yan'er, listen to me......" Ulan attached himself to Ulan Yan's ear and taught her his own methods.

In the middle of the night, a scream pierced the quiet black sky. The cry came from Wu Lanyan's room, and the lights next door were the first to turn on, and Xue Niang rushed into her daughter's room with a candlestick in her hand.

"Yan'er? Yeon'er! Xue Niang lit the candles in the house, and saw Wu Lanyan lying on the ground with a pale face. She hurriedly ran over and carried her daughter to the bed: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare your mother! ”

"Mother...... Keep the door closed, and don't let anyone in! Wu Lanyan covered her right upper arm in pain, and did not forget to remind Xue Niang to avoid outsiders.

Xue Niang guessed that Wu Lanyan might be injured and should not be known. So he walked quickly to the door and announced to the palace people who had been awakened: "The princess is fine, it's just a nightmare." Go back to sleep, all of you. Seeing that the palace people gradually dispersed, she called a few henchmen and ordered them to stay outside the room and not allow anyone to approach. And said to one of them: "Go and invite Leng Gongzi, Yan'er is injured!" ”

Turning back into the house, Xue Niang continued to examine Wu Lanyan's wounds—half a palm-sized scald wound, the flesh had been burned, and the blood had solidified on the charred skin.

Xue Niang looked at the charcoal stove that had overturned on the ground, and immediately understood the reason for her daughter's injury. She hugged her daughter distressedly, let her lean on her shoulder, and worried: "The cold attack is early? I told you that 'Zhuyan Dan' has side effects, but you are disobedient and have to take it! ”

"But my mother will be fine if she takes it! Doesn't it mean that this medicine will cause very little harm to women? Wu Lanyan trembled and drilled into Xue Niang's arms.

"It's also different from person to person! If your physique is weaker and younger, the side effects will naturally be greater. Xue Niang simply treated her daughter's wounds and anxiously waited for the arrival of Leng Gongzi.

Xue Niang only took "Zhuyan Dan" when she was in her twenties, but Wu Lanyan took it behind her parents' back at the age of sixteen, causing her to have a cold attack once a month. As soon as the cold disease occurs, people become extremely cold, and even dog days need to burn charcoal fire to keep warm!

"It doesn't matter if my daughter's cold is cold, it will subside as soon as it is over. It's just a burn on my arm, and I can't be seen! If the emperor finds out during the performance, it will be difficult for the daughter to be chosen! "The emperor's requirements for selecting concubines are very strict, and women with serious scars on their bodies cannot be selected.

"Where else can we take care of all of this now? Mother just hopes that your arm will be okay! "The wound area is not small, and the scar is certain, so I am afraid that it will affect the movement of the arm.

"It's just a skin wound, it doesn't matter. As long as you cover it with a shawl during the performance, you can't see it, don't worry, it won't affect your father's plan! Wu Lanyan pretended to be strong.

"You look like this, and you still want to dance? Don't want to die? Leng Gongzi pushed the door and put the medicine box on the bed, his eyes full of mockery.

"Don't talk about it at this time, let's heal Yan'er's wounds quickly!" Xue Niang was anxious.

Leng Gongzi first gave Wu Lanyan a pill to relieve cold, and then cleaned and healed the wound on her arm. He said sarcastically while treating: "Let you steal the 'Zhuyan Pill', this time you have tasted the bitterness, right?" ”

"Can you shut up? I don't want you to heal me! Get out of here after the cure, I don't want to see you! "Wu Lanyan hates this cold boy who is neither male nor female.

"Whew! Do you think I'm happy to take care of you? Well, you can't die! After Leng Gongzi finished the final bandage, he didn't want to stay for a moment. However, before leaving, he kindly reminded: "Don't work too hard when dancing, beware of the wound being torn again!" The corners of his mouth twitched, and it was this expression that made Xian Yuanshao feel that he was familiar.

"Mother, look at him, how annoying! Why did you call him? "Wu Lanyan and Leng Gongzi have been enemies since childhood.

"He is the only one of our people who knows how to heal, so who don't we call him? Do you want me to call the Imperial Doctor so that everyone knows that you are injured? "In order not to disrupt the plan, it is indeed necessary to conceal Wu Lanyan's injuries. Xue Niang patted her daughter comfortingly: "Okay, don't talk about it." Take a little more rest, it's almost dawn. I'll go get you another brazier. ”

"No, mother. I'm not that cold anymore. This time, the cold came suddenly, and it went faster. You're going to stay with Yan'er, right? Wu Lanyan coquettishly lay in her mother's arms and refused to get up.

"Okay, my mother is with you......" I'm afraid she won't have much time to spend with her daughter. Once Wu Lanyan enters the palace, it will be difficult to see each other in this life, right? Xue Niang inevitably gave birth to a trace of reluctance, and hugged her daughter even tighter.
