Chapter Seventy-Two: The Same Return to Qingxiao
When the leader returned to the inn, his face was full of joy, and the innkeeper knew that he must have gotten something, so he was like this.
"Even if you know each other and don't lie, let me ask you again, where do you think he will go if he leaves here?" The leader asked the shopkeeper again.
"We are close to Dongchuan, if we come from Dongchuan, I think the only way to go is to Qingtai." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and replied.
"Qingtai, where?"
"To the south, there is a water city, and there are the most people who come and go, so adults can go there and investigate."
"Okay, let's go!"
With directions, the leader left the inn with the group.
Out of the inn, he turned to his subordinates beside him and ordered: "Send a message to the Queen Mother, our emperor is still alive." β
"Yes, sir."
These people didn't know that when they arrived in Dongchuan, the building was already empty, and Yan Qinghan and the others were probably approaching the Wan Dynasty at this moment.
And in the palace of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, Lu Lan has also been trusted.
"Niangniang, but the person in front of you has sent a message?" Rong Wan looked at Lu Lan with a happy face.
"Yes, the good son of the mourning family is really alive and well, he really deceived the mourning family, since he doesn't listen to the mourning family like this, then the mourning family can only endure the pain and cut love." A hint of cunning crossed the corners of Lu Lan's mouth, as if everything was under her control.
"Niangniang, the slave has always had something unclear, and I want to ask Niangniang to teach me."
"What?" Lu Lan raised her eyes to look at Rong Wan and asked.
"Didn't you think about looking for the princess? She's your own blood after all. β
"When the mourning family abandoned her, they never thought that they would be able to see her again, she shouldn't have come to this world, and now that she has abandoned it, why bother looking for her."
Lu Lan's words did not carry a trace of warmth, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
"Niangniang can see the gains and losses so much, the slave and maid really admire it."
"Presumably you are saying admiration in your mouth, and you are scolding the mourning family in your heart." When Lu Lan said this, Rong Wan was scared a lot, "The slave doesn't dare, how dare the slave dare to speculate about the mother like this." β
"Okay, you have been with the mourning family for so many years, and the mourning family will not understand you, this is the conclusion of the world to the mourning family, why should the mourning family go to the truth meeting."
Rong Wan secretly raised her eyes to look at the people on the high platform, she was so dazzling, and so pathetic and ridiculous, a woman can give up her husband, give up her flesh and blood, after all, for the sake of power, just ask how many people in the world can do her like her.
At this time, outside the Shoukang Palace, a person Lu Lan was familiar with.
The man was wearing a simple and generous plain white brocade dress, embroidered with dark brown silk threads on the fabric of the clothes with strange and strong branches, peach-colored silk threads embroidered plum blossoms in full bloom, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, the years did not leave a trace on her body, her figure was still slender.
The whole body gives people a sense of elegance and luxury, wearing a light purple open gauze coat, every move attracts a sense of sparkling flow of the yarn, and a piece of jade jade pendant is tied around the waist, adding an elegant atmosphere.
In front of Shoukang Palace, the palace people stopped this person, although this person's temperament is not ordinary, but he is very raw, and naturally he can't enter without permission.
"Who are you? But got the message of the Queen Mother? The palace man asked.
The woman smiled slightly and said softly: "I am the sister of the Queen Mother, the wife of the Prime Minister, and I still need you to pass it on for me." β
As soon as she heard the "Prime Minister's Wife", the palace people instantly understood that the person in front of them was Lu Lan's sister in the Lu family, Lu Huayao, and she immediately said in a familiar manner: "Please wait a while, Madame, the slave maid will go to pass it on." β
Lu Huayao bowed slightly.
When the palace people arrived in the main hall, they bowed and replied: "The Queen Mother, the Prime Minister's wife asks to see you." β
After hearing this, Lu Lan said slowly: "Hua Yao? What wind is blowing her, pass it on. β
Soon, Lu Huayao walked into the main hall and saluted: "Hua Yao, the wife of the Xia family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, see the Queen Mother." β
"Flat, you all step down, the mourning family wants to talk to their sister about their hearts." Lu Lan said and slowly walked off the stage.
"Yes."
The maids all retired, and only the two sisters were left in the palace, Lu Lan was still good to her sister, after all, they were fellow mothers, and her sister was quiet and elegant, and she didn't like to fight, so after getting married, she rarely came to visit her in the palace.
"You never came to visit me in Shoukang Palace, why did you come today?" Lu Lan pulled Lu Huayao over, walked to the front of the seat and sat down, and asked.
"Naturally, I miss my sister, that's why I came."
"You never lied to me before, how come you have learned to fool me now?"
"I've never been able to hide anything from my sister, and my sister can always hide everything from me."
Lu Lan knew that Lu Huayao would enter the palace, there must be something that made her have no choice, but her sister had never said such a thing to her.
"Hua Yao, what is my sister hiding from you?" 652 Literature Network
"Sister's heart." Lu Huayao said unhurriedly.
"Heart? Ridiculous, what do you still know what I'm thinking? Lu Lan couldn't help laughing.
"We sisters, you always thought you knew everything about me, but how could you know that I didn't know about you."
"Sister, why do you want to involve Zhiyi?"
After listening to it for a long time, Lu Lan realized that Lu Huayao was blaming herself for coming now.
"What, are you reluctant? Do you feel sorry for your daughter, or are you reluctant to be your husband who opposes me everywhere!? Lu Lan frowned and said unhappily.
"Sister, I remember that you grew up watching her grow up, she likes you so much, respects you, can you bear her caught in the middle?"
"Even if I can't bear it, what can I do? Instead of scolding me, you should remind your good husband that he listens to you the most. β
Lu Lan's face became more and more cold, she didn't expect that her closest sister was now reprimanding herself for her husband and flesh and blood.
"Sister, it's time for you to stop, Jue Yi is not wrong, I won't say anything to him, besides, even if I say it, he thinks it's wrong, he won't do it, for my sake, don't make a mistake again."
"Lu Huayao! When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson, if you are not here to visit me sincerely, you don't have to displease me here, Rong Wan, send the Prime Minister's wife away! β
Lu Huayao stood up and wanted to say anything more, but Rong Wan had already appeared beside her and said respectfully, "Madam, please." β
She looked at Lu Lan's determined back, and left helplessly, she just didn't want to see her wrong, and she didn't want to see her end up badly, but now it seems that she can't listen to the words of others, and even what she said as a dear person has turned a deaf ear.
Sent Lu Huayao away, Lu Lan was still standing in the main hall, for a long time, she sighed, she only felt that no one understood her, and now even her own sister was the same, but ask those people who were hurt by her, how ridiculous it was for her selfish desires to make many people lose the happiness they should have, and let people understand him.
......
After another four days, Yan Qinghan and Mu Sheng were already approaching the Wan Dynasty.
"Are you going to go straight to the palace?" Mu Sheng asked.
"Well, what's wrong?" Yan Qinghan asked rhetorically.
"The days you have been away for a long time, although it is not long, but Lu Lan will definitely eradicate the forces you left before, although you now have a talisman in your hand, but Lu Lan has not acted much over the years, so there are not many soldiers and horses at your disposal in a short period of time, I am afraid that when the time comes, Lu Lan will force you to hand over the talisman, which will be unfavorable to you."
Mu Sheng thought very thoughtfully, Yan Qinghan didn't think about this, he always believed that his mother would not do this to him.
"Don't blame me for being ugly, you still don't expect too much from your mother, for the sake of your plan and safety, why don't you talk to me for the time being?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yan Qinghan agreed, and Mu Sheng was relieved.
On the way back, Mu Sheng had already thought about Xiaoyi, and she also made a plan not to tell him about the exposure of her identity for the time being, as for her and Yan Qinghan to disappear together, it can be said that it was planned.
"However, there is one thing that I can't say to Xiaoyi, that is, you already know my identity, you tell him about Concubine Li, and as for the soldier talisman disappearing with us, just say that it is within your plan, so that you can hide it from him." Mu Sheng informed Yan Qinghan of his intentions.
Yan Qinghan found that Xiaoyi was much more important to Mu Sheng than she was to her, and she didn't feel jealous.
"Why are you hiding it from him, didn't you say that you would leave after this matter is resolved, and besides, he already knows your true identity."
Mu Sheng didn't expect Yan Qinghan to sing the opposite tune to him.
"Isn't that because you still need Xiaoyi to help you, and besides, didn't you rely on him to get that half-soldier talisman? Just do what I say. Mu Sheng reprimanded him.
Although Yan Qinghan was extremely reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to upset Mu Sheng, so he could only nod and respond.
It's just that when the two of them returned to Qingxiao, there were only disciples in the sect, and Xiaoyi and Chenyi didn't know where they went.
As soon as the two entered Qingxiao, Xu Ling ran to her arms excitedly when he saw Mu Sheng, and Yan Qinghan on the side was so angry when he saw this scene, although he knew that he shouldn't be jealous with a child, but he was really angry.
"Senior sister, Master and Uncle said that your whereabouts are unknown, and I went to Dongchuan to look for you, I am almost worried to death, and you are back safe and sound now!" Xu Ling said with tears in his eyes.
Yan Qinghan saw that he looked white, tender and delicate, without any manly momentum, just like Jiang Lingzhou when he was a child, but when he thought of Jiang Lingzhou, he still felt a little reluctant in his heart, after all, he hid such a big thing from him, this kid probably had to be angry with himself for a while after knowing it.
And Jiang Lingzhou, who had already returned to Jiang Mansion, had indeed been worried about him at this time, "Ahh Who is thinking about me, and I don't know what is going on with this stinky boy Akan, but I can only wait in Jiangfu like this......"
After Jiang Lingzhou came back, everyone in the Wan Dynasty knew about Yan Qinghan's disappearance, and his father was even more worried about his safety and locked him up in Jiang Mansion and forbade him to go out again, but he didn't want to worry his father and mother, so he could only stay in the mansion obediently.
Qingxiao, the other disciples were all puzzled and happy when they saw Mu Sheng coming back and walking with Yan Qinghan.
From the mouths of the disciples, Mu Sheng also learned that Xiaoyi and Chen Yi had left Qingxiao many days ago, and only told them that they were looking for her, but did not tell where they went.
After Xu Ling came back from Mu Sheng, he kept following her, Yan Qinghan became more and more angry, and finally couldn't help but speak: "You are a big boy, can you not keep pestering your senior sister, she just came back, wouldn't it be good for you to let her rest for a while?" β
Xu Ling didn't know Yan Qinghan's identity, and he was naturally unhappy when he said this, so he immediately retorted: "Haven't you always followed my senior sister, why should you teach me a lesson, if it weren't for my senior sister's face, I wouldn't have let a strange man get close to my senior sister!" β
"You kid!" Yan Qing's cold breath knotted.
Mu Sheng looked at him, "How old are you, and you are still angry with children, and you are not naΓ―ve." β
After that, Mu Sheng pulled Xu Ling and walked towards the courtyard, Yan Qinghan was very aggrieved in his heart, he was naΓ―ve, couldn't he see why, but there was no way, who made him love her, thinking so, Yan Qinghan couldn't help but feel that he followed.
