Although the Prime Minister's Mansion was holding a funeral, when Ruan Qingzhi and his party came back, they still alarmed the whole house.

The old lady personally led her children and grandchildren to kneel out to greet her, and she was sincerely afraid.

Luan Yutang didn't enter the door and rode away alone, and Ruan Suying, who rode back with him, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, but she didn't care to answer anyone's questions, and was hugged by Chu Jiaoniang and cried in the dark.

Yehan ignored no one, hugged Ruan Qingzhi and went straight back to Xifangyuan, leaving the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army to accept the hospitality of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The people in the prime minister's mansion are still a little bit eye-catching, and after watching this battle, they know that this time is not small, and no one dares to follow the noise without interest.

Of course, there is still a rush in Xifangyuan.

When the two of them saw Ruan Qingzhi being carried back unconscious, they were so frightened that they couldn't do anything, and they collapsed on the ground one after the other, only crying.

Ye Han didn't count on them, he went to the cage to find clothes to help Ruan Qingzhi change, as Ruan Qingzhi said beforehand, he took out a box of incense from the drawer and lit it, and then went out and told Cheng Hu to light the brazier.

These were all packed up, Yehan himself went to change his dry clothes, and when he came back, he saw the two of them supporting each other and standing up and throwing themselves to the head of the bed, crying as if the sky had fallen.

"You guys, get out of the way." Ye Han's face is not good.

Banyue refused to leave, and Yiyun wiped a handful of tears fiercely, took a half step back and knelt down.

Ye Han sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the two of them coldly, and asked, "You guys are guarding here, how were people taken away?" ”

"We're in the wing!" Banyue cried, "Yesterday it was fine during the day, Miss has been sleeping, we thought she was too tired to bear to call her, who knew that she suddenly disappeared at night!" ”

Ye Han looked at Xianyun, but the latter did not defend himself, and just fell on the ground and wiped his tears.

Seeing this, Banyue cried more and more: "You don't have to scold us!" If something happens to the young lady, let's just bury it together! ”

"You guys," Ye Han gritted his teeth, "too?" ”

Banyue froze, looking up at him in disbelief.

Yiyun next to him found that Ruan Qingzhi was awake for the first time, so he hurriedly got up and pounced again: "Miss......"

Ruan Qingzhi opened her eyes, looked at her and smiled: "Why are your eyes swollen from crying?" ”

Xieyun wiped away his tears: "Besides, your whole face is swollen!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi raised his hand and touched his face, correcting, "It's that the whole body is swollen." Ruan Biyun raised a mountain of ants, one of which was the size of half a fingernail, and it hurt to bite. The mouths of those things are very strong, and if the night cold had gone a quarter of an hour late, I would have been gnawed to the skeleton. ”

Xianyun's face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless in a daze.

Ruan Qingzhi squeezed her hand soothingly, and smiled: "Don't be afraid." The bones that the ants have gnawed on are clean, bloodless, and dirty. When the time comes, you and Banyue will pick me up and bury me under the pear tree in our yard. When I found out who had harmed me, the pile of bones came out of the soil one by one, and went to settle accounts with the enemy......"

"Say no more!" With a scream, he was shaking with fright.

Banyue slapped the quilt twice with a gesture, and said angrily: "It's not serious to make it like this!" What are you scaring us two for? Do you want to find the second lady to take revenge, do you need to become a ghost? You just beat her to death with a whip, who dares to say anything about you? If you're not afraid of getting dirty, you can overthrow her! ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head: "Ling Chi can't do it." Ling Chi only has more than 3,000 knives at most, and I can almost have more than 30,000 bites when I was bitten by ants. ”

Banyue's eyes became more and more angry when she heard this.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and smiled: "Don't be angry. Ye Han and I threw Ruan Biyun into the ant pile. Her flesh was gnawed clean, almost more than three million mouthfuls, so I didn't lose anything. ”

"Dead ...... The second lady was bitten to death by ants? Banyue's face also turned pale.

Ruan Qingzhi nodded: "Of course, she is so cruel to me, how can I let her go?" I'm not a good person! ”

"Miss is a good person." He said in a hoarse voice.

Ruan Qingzhi glanced at her, and then quickly looked away: "Good people want to repay grievances." Someone is trying to harm me, and I can't let it go. Now that the people in Jinghuayuan are almost dead, there is only one left of all I know. ”

"Who?" Banyue looked up and asked.

Holding the quilt with both hands, Xianyun also raised her head, but unexpectedly bumped into Ruan Qingzhi's sight, which frightened her and almost fell.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Ruan Qingzhi finally spoke: "Xiyun, how do you want to die?" ”

With his legs weak, he sat down on the ground.

Banyue was stunned: "Miss, what are you talking about?" What's wrong with the cloud? ”

Ruan Qingzhi closed his eyes and sighed: "I also want to ask what happened to Xieyun." I don't think I'm a fierce and unreasonable master, what difficulties can't you tell me? Why do you want to help Ruan Biyun do things? She can even do it to her biological mother, how dare you trust her? ”

Banyue looked at Ruan Qingzhi, and then at Xianyun, the whole person was a little confused.

Xieyun sat paralyzed with his head hanging for a long time, and finally raised his head: "How does Miss know that it's me?" Maybe it's the moon? ”

Banyue jumped up with a snort: "Carry the clouds!" Do you have a conscience? I've always been like you, and I've always been like you, and I've always been like the three of us...... Now that you have harmed Miss, you still have to rely on me? Your conscience has been eaten by the second lady?! ”

Xianyun ignored her, still looking at Ruan Qingzhi: "Miss." ”

"What, did you originally think Ruan Biyun would help you keep your secret?" Ruan Qingzhi asked.

The cloud was stunned for a moment, and then slowly wilted again.

"I know Second Miss is unreliable." She muttered, "But I can't help it. ”

"How do you call 'no way'?" Banyue was so angry that she scooped her up from the ground, "What's wrong with you that you can't come and tell Miss?" Could it be that what the second miss can do, the young lady can't do? You don't still believe that the second lady is the real phoenix, right?! ”

"I don't care if she's a phoenix or not," Xieyun raised his head suddenly, "I just know that she saved my life!" I was about to die back then, and my mother was also dying, but it was the second lady who gave us money and helped us hire a doctor...... After curing the disease, the second lady persuaded my mother that the girl was too old to have food for a lifetime, so it was better to send her to the Ruan family as a girl for a few years, and she could save one or two taels of silver a year, and it would be enough for the family to live a tight life; If you get face in front of the master, maybe you can get a large dowry when you release it......"

Banyue was so angry that she grabbed her ears, gritted her teeth and twisted it down: "You don't care about the dowry, you are worried about the master's life!" ”

Xianyun's whole face was distorted in pain, but he couldn't hold back a word, just crying: "My master is not the eldest lady!" At the beginning, the second lady instructed my mother to stop the old lady's sedan chair and sell me into the house, as I said at that time, although I am the old lady's girl, I only listen to the second lady in private! ”

"You," Banyue let go of her ears and slapped her in the face, "...... What a good dog! ”

He didn't hide with the clouds, and he didn't say a word.

Ruan Qingzhi thought silently for a long time and asked, "How much money did she use to save your family?" ”

"Eight taels." Carry the cloud said in a low voice.

"How much silver did the old lady use to buy you?" Ruan Qingzhi asked again.

Xianyun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I was originally worthless." The old lady saw that my mother was pitiful, and kindly gave twenty taels. ”

"Twenty taels is enough to buy four of you!" With the moon said coldly.

Ruan Qingzhi opened his eyes and smiled: "Have you ever thought that later, your father and mother would be sick and have no food, but then it was the old lady's twenty taels of silver that saved their lives?" The old lady can also be said to be the lifesaver of your family, why do you only recognize Ruan Biyun as a master? ”

Xianyun thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "If there is no second miss, there will be no future." ”

That's a reason.

Ruan Qingzhi thought seriously for a long time, and actually felt that this girl had done the right thing.

Ruan Biyun is a phoenix, just like the shining protagonist in the center of the stage, such a person is easy to gain a large number of loyal subordinates or minions through inadvertent acts of kindness again and again.

Speaking of which, it was because she came to the wrong place and ruined this good story.

"I'm sorry." Ruan Qingzhi said, "If it weren't for me, you could have been a good person." ”

Yiyun looked up.

Banyue snorted beside him and sneered: "! She was deceived by the second lady to come to the house to be a spy from the beginning, how can she be a good person? If it weren't for the young lady, maybe she would have been the one who was sent to poison the old lady that time! How can a fool who can't tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, be a good person! ”

"That's it." Ruan Qingzhi waved his hand to stop Banyue's scolding, "No need to mention it again, you go to the cage and get two hundred taels of silver." ”

Banyue didn't understand, and sat on the ground without moving.

Ruan Qingzhi waved her hand to urge her to go, and looked at Xianyun again: "I haven't married yet, so I won't handle your dowry for you." You have suffered a lot with me over the years, and taking two hundred taels of silver can be regarded as our acquaintance. ”

When Banyue heard this, she immediately threw the silver she had just taken out back into the box, turned around and yelled at Ruan Qingzhi: "You give her back the money?" You almost died at her hands! If you give her two hundred taels of silver to buy a coffin, I have no opinion at all; If you let her live and take the money, I will be the first to refuse. I won't give her a single penny! ”

After yelling at these two sentences, she walked back again: "Didn't you just ask her how she wanted to die?" Why did she sell a few miserable words, and you relented again? Not only do you want to release her, but also give her money? When did you become so talkative? I tell you, if you don't kill her, I won't follow! You can't do it, I'll do it! ”

"Alright, come on." Ruan Qingzhi took out a sharp knife and threw it to her.

Banyue subconsciously caught it and pulled it out with a bang, but then didn't move.

It's easy to talk about this matter, but you really have to do it......

She stood there for a while, and then cried out: "How can this be! With Yun, Miss is so good to us, how did you get it! ”

With the clouds on the ground, he just wept and did not answer.

Ruan Qingzhi turned his head to look at Banyue and sighed, "Look, you can't do it either." So what else can you do but let her go? ”

"This king has got it!" Ye Han said coldly beside him.

Ruan Qingzhi was taken aback by him, and sat up: "Why are you still here!" ”

"Where else am I supposed to be?" Ye Han reluctantly stepped forward to help her lie back, "I haven't dealt with a girl's matter for half a day, but I forgot about it first?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him with a very aggrieved look: "Isn't it sad that I feel sad and difficult to deal with!" ”

"No matter how sad you are, you have to cut through the mess quickly." Ye Leng said coldly, "In our Northwest Army, if you make a mistake, you must be dealt with by military law, and you should fight and kill, no matter how good a brother you were before, and no matter how much merit you had before. ”

Xianyun knelt on the ground and cried: "You don't need to be embarrassed, I'm sorry for you, I'm willing to die!" ”

When Banyue heard this, she immediately threw the sharp knife in front of her: "If you are willing to die, hurry up and solve it yourself, why are you crying here?" ”

The sharp knife landed on the ground with a screeching sound.

Xieyun reached out and picked it up, trembling, and sure enough, he aimed the tip of the knife at his chest.

"Miss," she said hoarsely, "I've always wanted to be a good girl, but unfortunately I can't...... If there is a next life, I will serve you wholeheartedly. ”

After that, she really used force in her hand, and the sharp knife stabbed down fiercely.

Banyue let out a deafening scream in fright.

After that, there was no scene of blood splattering, only a loud bang, and the sharp knife fell on the table next to it, smashing an innocent tea bowl.

Xianyun rubbed his wrist that was kicked painfully, raised his head blankly, and looked at Ye Han: "Your Highness......"

Ye Han retracted his feet and looked back at Ruan Qingzhi with a helpless expression.

With Yun Bingxue being smart, she immediately understood when she saw this, and she cried bitterly: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness, but ...... But you don't have to, the slave is really willing to die, and there is no complaint in her heart! ”

"Since there are no complaints, then there is no need to die." Ruan Qingzhi sighed, "I'm quite afraid of the dead." If you die here, I won't have to live in this house. ”

"Then," Yiyun hesitated, "the slave goes outside......"

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head and sighed: "That's it." With Yun, I said that I forgave you for the sake of the years before us, I really believe that we still have affection. You've been with me for almost seven years, and this is the first time you've done anything to me. When I used to sell paintings in the house and secretly study and learn things, as long as you went to reveal something to Ruan Biyun, my result might not be what it is now. ”

Xieyun slowly raised his head.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her: "This is not the first time Ruan Biyun has ordered you to do things, right?" I don't have a good memory, but looking back, I still only remember how much you suffered for me, and I don't remember when you hurt me. ”

Tears fell from the clouds.

Banyue thought about it, stepped forward and grabbed the placket of Qianyun's clothes, and cried as well: "What did you say!" Didn't we all say that we would depend on each other for the rest of our lives? In those years, when there was no food to eat, you were so hungry that you couldn't walk, and you had to save half of your food to give it to me; Mrs. and Second Miss often come to find fault, how many beatings have the two of us suffered! That time you broke your leg and went lame for more than a year, and you still can't stand on your left foot for long...... How could any of these be fake! ”

"It's me who is bad, it's all me who is bad!" Yiyun raised his hand to wipe his tears, crying breathlessly.

Ruan Qingzhi lay back on the pillow and said in a deep voice: "Ruan Biyun is really dead. You still have everything hidden in your heart, don't force me to threaten you with your family to tell you the truth. ”

Hearing this, Yiyun cried even harder.

Ye Han was impatient, and said in a deep voice: "Your master came back with an injury, she didn't take medicine, she didn't sleep, what a sin she suffered and was waiting for you to tell the truth, you have to torture her like this?" ”

Yiyun wiped his tears in a panic, got up and threw himself in front of Ruan Qingzhi's bed, and cried again: "It's not that Second Miss asked me to harm you, that person is a fairy......"

Ruan Qingzhi frowned: "Where did the immortals come from?" Have you been deceived again? ”

"I watched that man come down from the sky with my own eyes!" He said that he was the Heavenly Commander of the Divine Monarch, and showed me a book, saying that you are indeed a bad fate that will bring disaster to the country and the people, and if you let you master the phoenix seal, the people of the world will definitely suffer! He said that the only way to save the world is to let you die before you get the phoenix seal, and let the phoenix seal return to the original owner...... I don't dare to tell you this, I'm afraid you'll be upset...... I might as well make you hate me......"

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her fixedly and didn't speak.

Xianyun wiped his eyes, and said, "Si Ming Shenjun also said that the real phoenix life person will not die. I thought since I wouldn't die, I might as well give it a try......"

Ruan Qingzhi waved his hand to interrupt her words: "Now I'm not dead, but Ruan Biyun is dead." What do you think? ”

Xieyun shook his head, dazed.

Banyue was so angry that he kicked her on the shoulder: "You idiot! You've been deceived! How can there be any immortals, that 'Si Ming Shenjun' must be pretended by the second lady! ”

Xianyun looked at Ruan Qingzhi with a blank look: "But you said before that you are indeed not a phoenix, how can you turn evil into good fortune everywhere?" Second Miss, she is a phoenix, but she is dead, isn't it...... Is there really no fairy? Immortals can't be killed, this statement is a lie? ”

"Immortals," Ruan Qingzhi closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Maybe there is." But the one you saw wasn't, and neither was Ruan Biyun. No real immortal would casually show a book to mortals, and Si Ming Shenjun especially not. He is in charge of the fate of the Six Realms, and how dare he reveal the heavenly secrets to mortals. ”

Yiyun was stunned and thought for a long time, and then tears flowed down again: "So, I was deceived?" Miss wasn't killed by the bad guys, but she was almost killed by my stupidity......"

Ruan Qingzhi pondered for a moment and sighed, "You're not stupid. Anyone who sees someone soaring through the clouds and flying fairy spirit will be easily fooled, it can only be said that Ruan Biyun is too cunning. ”

Hearing this, Yiyun hurriedly sat up again: "Yes, how could that person walk on the cloud, and how could he fly away in front of me?" ”

"Not that kind of person at all!" Ruan Qingzhi sighed, "Have you forgotten that Ruan Biyun will use poison?" You may just have been poisoned a little bit and had a vision. ”

After stammering for a long time, he fell on the edge of the bed and began to cry.

Ruan Qingzhi sighed and said to Banyue: "Help her go back and lie down first, don't say anything superfluous." ”

Banyue didn't say much, grabbed Qianyun's arm and dragged her up and dragged her out.

Ye Han turned around and sat at the head of Ruan Qingzhi's bed, frowning: "You still dare to use her?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and sighed: "Originally, I thought she was bought by Ruan Biyun. In that case, I can't use her anymore anyway. ”

So now do you think it can still be used?

Ye Han couldn't say anything, thought silently for a while, and then simply stood up again, went to the table and picked up a piece of paper: "Don't think about that yet." Do you have any prescription for reducing swelling and itching, hurry up and say one, I will let people boil it and give it to you to drink. ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head and smiled: "The best ointment for mosquito bites, I still have a small box in the drawer, you can help me divide half of it to Luan Yutang, and send the rest to Ruan Suying." ”

"What about yourself?" Ye Han asked with a frown.

Ruan Qingzhi said with a smile: "I'll take a painkiller first, and if it's swollen, you can see if it's swollen or not." Anyway, now, no matter how disgusted you are, you can't return it. ”

Ye Han was angry and funny, and after snorting at her, he felt blushing inexplicably, and stood at the table for a long time without moving.

Ruan Qingzhi knew that he was thin-skinned, so he had to change the topic again, and said a recipe for clearing heat and detoxifying and asking him to write it down and give it to his subordinates to boil.

Only then did the matter of medication settle down, and someone in the palace came to find it, saying that there was something in the court waiting for Ye Han to deal with.

Ruan Qingzhi immediately became nervous: "...... in the palace"

Ye Han hurriedly said: "There is nothing abnormal in the palace, but there are more miscellaneous things." You don't have to worry about anything, just be quiet and recuperate at home! ”

Ruan Qingzhi obediently responded, and couldn't help frowning as he walked out with his clothes in a hurry.

Hurry up, right?
