In the flash of light and shadow, a sigh floated into the door: "No need to ask! ”

"Sister Chunni!" Ruan Qingzhi stood up hurriedly, "Why don't you ask?" You...... Know? ”

"Yes, I know." The little girl who broke into the door had bright eyes, but her face was very pale: "About the eldest young master, my mother quietly mentioned it to me once, so I ......"

Before she finished speaking, Ruan Qingzhi had already pounced and grabbed her hands in a panic: "So, where was my brother sent?" Is it dead or alive now? Who was the mother-in-law who took my brother away at that time? ”

"Qingzhi," Ye Han hurriedly followed her and hugged her, and gently comforted: "Don't panic first!" It's been so many years, even if you want to find it, you don't have to rush at this time! ”

"I'm not in a hurry!" Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears, and squeezed out a smile: "What am I anxious about, it has nothing to do with me!" I'm just asking! ”

Ye Han sighed and didn't expose her, but silently raised his hand to pat her back, and his palm stayed in the back of her heart for a long time.

After a while, Ruan Qingzhi calmed down, and then realized that his heart was aching terribly, and he was slowly relieved by the little temperature from Ye Han's palm.

That's really ......

It's inexplicable! Isn't it just a brother who has never met, why is she uncomfortable?

Ruan Qingzhi didn't know how to deal with this unfamiliar emotion, and was at a loss for a while, so he couldn't help but clench Ye Han's sleeve tightly.

Seeing this, Ye Han simply took her in his arms, carefully helped her sit down, poured her a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand to warm it, and then looked at Chunni: "Miss Lin, you can say it." ”

Chunni walked over hesitantly, with a worried face: "Miss, she ...... No problem, right? ”

Ruan Qingzhi raised his head and smiled at her: "I'm fine, you just say." ”

Chunni nodded, sat down next to her father, and looked worried: "Actually, I don't know very well, it's just ...... My mother said that when the next person carried the dead baby to the burial, she took a look at it from a distance, and it was indeed the appearance of the eldest young master born by the lady. ”

"What do you mean?!" Ruan Qingzhi's face turned pale in an instant.

Uncle Lin's face sank, and he slapped Chunni's hand on the back of his hand: "In front of the eldest lady, don't talk nonsense!" Your mother clearly said that the eldest young master was born and took it away, when did she mention the burial?! ”

"Daddy!" Chunni's tears immediately flowed, "Can I lie about this kind of thing!" Why didn't my mother dare to mention it to you, it's not because your mouth is fast, and you dare to say anything after drinking too much! You don't want to think about it, such a rich family, a big young master from the main house died in an unknown way, can that be a trivial matter! If they had known that my mother was peeking at me, would my mother have lived for eight more years?! ”

Uncle Lin was dumbfounded by his daughter's robbery, and thought for a while before muttering: "How can there be such a thing!" ”

Chunni raised her hand to wipe her tears and cried: "Originally, my mother was already watched at that time, and she was not allowed to walk around. But she always felt that she couldn't get over it in her heart, and the poor eldest lady was born without a mother...... So she secretly took the eldest lady to see the burial while no one was there, and accidentally saw the dead baby...... How dare others know about this! ”

That seems reasonable. It can even be said that this is the most reasonable possibility.

Ruan Qingzhi originally thought that he still had a lot to ask. After listening to Chunni at this moment, she suddenly couldn't remember what else to ask.

I just felt that my mind was empty, and I didn't know where to go.

Or Ye Han stared at Chunni for her, and asked, "When and how did Aunt Lin tell you about this?" Since she didn't dare to tell Uncle Lin, how could she dare to tell you a child? ”

Chunni wiped her tears and said: "Originally, my mother refused to say it, but she was holding back things in her heart, she always couldn't sleep well at night, and she was often sick. Another time I heard her in a sleepy dream, and I took the opportunity to beg her to speak up, and she did. …… My mother also asked me to swear to God that I would not tell anyone else, and this matter must rot in my stomach. ”

Ruan Qingzhi listened to her here, and finally couldn't help crying: "So, you mean that my brother is indeed dead?" The dead child my grandmother saw was really my brother? ”

Chunni leaned forward and grabbed one of Ruan Qingzhi's hands: "Don't cry!" My mother only told me that she looked at the child similarly, and that it was unlikely that a dead child could be found elsewhere in such a short period of time...... But we didn't see what was going on at the time, maybe your grandfather was a supernatural person, just like my father guessed to find a dead child from elsewhere to deceive your grandfather's family? ”

Ruan Qingzhi listened to her in a daze, and only cried for a long time: "What's the use of you coming to comfort me now?" The truth has been revealed, are you trying to persuade me to deceive myself? Did I, Ruan Qingzhi, live by deceiving myself! ”

"I'm not ......" Chunni was so anxious that she cried, got up and knelt down in front of Ruan Qingzhi: "Miss, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean to make you sad......"

She kneeled forward and hugged Ruan Qingzhi's leg, and the latter leaned forward, and the two girls immediately hugged each other and cried at the same time.

"Don't be sad, Miss," Chunni cried, "If my mother is still alive, she will not be willing to let you be sad." Although the eldest young master is gone, you have to live well! ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head and couldn't speak, he only felt that his heart was curled up in pain as if he was being held by someone's hand, but his eyes were dim, and he could barely see the light and shadow.

Uncle Lin watched the two children crying like this, and he was at a loss for a while, and somehow wiped his tears.

Ye Han frowned, walked over and grabbed Ruan Qingzhi's shoulder, and grabbed it hard: "Don't cry, I'm here." ”

Ruan Qingzhi heard his voice, and finally stopped crying, looking up at him a little blankly.

Although she couldn't see it clearly, she already remembered that she was by his side, and she felt a little more settled in her heart, and her trembling body finally relaxed.

Ye Han held her shoulders and lifted them carefully, and asked Uncle Lin to help his daughter.

It was easy to separate the two girls, Ruan Qingzhi had already leaned on Ye Han's arms and quieted down, and Chunni's crying was still non-stop.

"How are you? What's uncomfortable? Ye Han asked in a low voice.

Ruan Qingzhi froze and said in a dumb voice: "I don't know what's going on, my heart hurts so badly that my whole body is cold." …… Can you help me rub it? ”

"What?" Ye Han didn't understand.

Ruan Qingzhi grabbed his hand and pressed it to his chest: "You help me rub it." It hurts to death, and it's still cold! ”

Before Ye Han could feel that something was wrong, his palm had already touched the place she had designated, and he even subconsciously followed her order and rubbed it twice.

Then, his face turned red.

It's true that the location is cold, but ......

But it's still soft.

It turns out that the position didn't start to grow after the time?! It turns out that his little girl has quietly grown up?

Ye Han felt as if there were fireworks going off in his mind.

And his little girl was ignorant of this, and still looked at him aggrievedly with red eyes: "Ye Han, why am I suddenly very uncomfortable?" My heart hurts! I've never been like this before, am I sick? Where are you...... When something bad happens to you, will your heart be so uncomfortable? ”

"It's not that you're sick, it's that I'm sick." Night Han muttered.

Ruan Qingzhi was confused by him, pushed his hand away and struggled to sit up: "How could it be that you are sick?" Will I hurt if you're sick? ”

Ye Han woke up, hurriedly helped her again, and said with a red face: "I mean you are not sick." You're just so sad, just slow down. ”

Ruan Qingzhi was suspicious: "I'm not sick, why is your face so ugly?" Am I going to die? ”

"Qingzhi, don't make trouble!" Ye Han couldn't cope with her strange questions, so he had to drag her over and press her into his arms, and got up to say goodbye to the Lin family's father and daughter.

At this time, I found that Chunni had stopped crying for some time, and was looking at the two of them with a strange expression.

Uncle Lin reacted quickly, and hurriedly stood up and bowed down to see off the guests.

Ye Han saw that Ruan Qingzhi was really weak, so he simply bent down and picked her up, and strode out of the door.

Just after passing through the courtyard, Chun Ni suddenly staggered out again, leaned against the gate and asked urgently: "Miss, in the morning I heard rumors outside that Miss Ruan is the real phoenix and will be the queen in the future!" Are those words about you? ”

Ruan Qingzhi lay on Ye Han's shoulders and said in a sullen voice: "It's me." ”

Chunni's face changed, and then she suddenly looked at Ye Han again: "However, those people are still legendary...... Say that you chose His Royal Highness King Li! So, will His Royal Highness King Li be the emperor in the future? Are you going to be his queen? ”

Ruan Qingzhi turned his face to look at her, blinking and not answering.

Ye Han replied for her: "Not bad. This king and Qingzhi advance and retreat together, share glory and disgrace, live and die together. ”

Chunni was shocked, staggered and fell to the ground, and fell to her knees: "You...... You are His Royal Highness King Li! ”

Ye Han nodded, and then immediately hugged Ruan Qingzhi and turned around and went out: "Miss Lin doesn't have to be polite. Uncle Lin, there will be no secrets in your mansion in the future, and presumably Miss Ruan Er will not come to disturb you again. The two of us will say goodbye and give it away. ”

Uncle Lin said yes again and again, and finally bent down to send him out of the door, watched the two of them get into the carriage and walked away, staring for a long time before slowly turning back.

At this time, Chunni was still kneeling by the door, looking dazed.

Uncle Lin stretched out his hand and dragged her up, squinted his eyes at her and asked, "What happened to the eldest young master, did your mother really tell you?" ”

Chunni carefully dusted off the corners of her skirt with a handkerchief, and calmly asked, "Just believe it, what does it matter if it's true or not?" Could she go to my mother and confront her? ”

"You!" Uncle Lin was shocked, "You really dare to lie and deceive the eldest lady?" You...... What are you drawing?! ”

"I don't want anything!" Chunni raised her head and looked awe-inspiring: "Seeing her uncomfortable, seeing her crying, I'm happy!" ”

This answer was never expected. Uncle Lin was stunned, and when he saw that his daughter was already walking back, he hurriedly chased after her and made her stop: "Are you happy to see others uncomfortable?" Are you sick? ”

Chunni stood still at her feet and turned around: "Dad, it's good that I didn't beat her with a big stick!" Have you forgotten why my mother died? Hmph, you forgot, I didn't! My mother left me and my brother and served her at her house for eight years, and finally died for her! Why is she? Just because she's a daughter? What's wrong with me saying a few words to make her cry now? I didn't even ask her to compensate me for a mother! ”

"Chunni!" Uncle Lin was so angry that his forehead sweated, "Don't forget, you and your brother, as well as your father and me, are all supported by the silver given by Mrs. Ruan!" If it weren't for the Ruan family, your mother might not have survived those eight years! ”

"That's hard to say!" Chunni snorted coldly, shook her hand and left.

Uncle Lin was even more angry when he saw this: "You stand for me!" You ungrateful thing! Right now! Right now, you immediately go out to inquire where the eldest lady lives, and you go to the door to kowtow to make amends! If you don't make this matter clear, you won't go home for a day! ”

Chunni paused at her feet, stood still in place for a while, and suddenly shook her hand and turned around: "Go, go!" Can I still be afraid that she won't make it? ”

"Hey, Chunni!" Uncle Lin felt as if something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around to shout, but Chunni had already pedaled all the way out of the gate, and she didn't know where she had gone.

……

On the carriage back to the inn, Ye Han hugged the soft little girl, and his mood was very complicated.

It wasn't until Ruan Qingzhi twisted his leg that he suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Still uncomfortable? ”

Ruan Qingzhi glared at him, his face was not good: "I'm not uncomfortable, I see that you are a little uncomfortable - what do you think so distracted?" ”

Ye Han hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug her and said carefully, "I was thinking about what happened just now." Do you think the Lin family's father and daughter are credible? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's credible or not," Ruan Qingzhi said lightly, "It's all old sesame rotten grain." Whether I know the truth or not, it doesn't matter what I'm going to do. ”

Ye Han shook his head and smiled: "When did you learn to deceive yourself?" If it really doesn't matter, why did you cry like that! ”

"I don't understand it myself." Ruan Qingzhi looked confused, "It's just that I'm suddenly sad, and I feel uncomfortable all over, like I'm sick." ”

Ye Han was shocked: "You mean, Lin Chunni poisoned you?" ”

"What poisoning?" Ruan Qingzhi was puzzled, "Impossible! She doesn't have a reason and won't have a chance to poison me! I thought her words were poisonous. ”

Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered his head and looked at her in shock: "You are suddenly very sad!" It's also a normal reaction to hear the bad news of your loved ones at first glance, how can you not understand? ”

"Sad," Ruan Qingzhi frowned, "I understand this word. It turns out that when you are 'sad', your heart really hurts? Isn't it enough to just shed tears? ”

"You ......," Ye Han was sluggish, "You've never been sad before?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head in a daze.

So Ye Han was even more confused.

Did he provoke a little fairy who didn't have seven emotions and six desires?

He knew that she was going to replace Ruan Biyun and pretend to be destined for the phoenix, but was this look too deep into the play?

Ruan Qingzhi didn't know that Ye Han's heart had turned a few more thoughts. After she solved the puzzle herself, she quickly thought about the things next to her: Is that Lin Chunni a little wrong?

"Uncle Lin talked to us, she actually hid outside and eavesdropped, and I knew that she was not right in mind by this one thing!" She gritted her teeth and said angrily.

Ye Han nodded in agreement: "You have a point. That girl is too shrewd and not very honest. ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while, and then said, "I still can't figure out one more thing: I'm only a few months younger than her. If Aunt Lin dared to tell her such a secret thing, why couldn't she tell me? Regarding my biological mother, Aunt Lin never revealed half a word to me until she died, so how could she rashly tell her daughter, who was no more than eight years old? ”

Ye Han thought for a while and nodded again: "So, it is very likely that Lin Chunni made up those words." ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought about it along this line of thought, and his heart suddenly became much more relaxed: "So, the nurse actually didn't say anything about my brother...... I still have a 1/10,000 chance of meeting my brother, don't I? ”

Ye Han sighed and hugged her tighter, and whispered, "At least half of the hope." Qingzhi, the heavens will not bear to make you sad. ”

Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "You really can't comfort people!" You should say, 'I'll see it!'" ”

"I don't dare to say such a thing," Ye Han smiled bitterly, "after all, I'm not a day." ”

Ruan Qingzhi laughed again, and then leaned on his arms with a smile, and his heart was heavy: "You said, if Chunni's words are false, then why did she lie to me?" Does she hate me? ”

Ye Han thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I don't quite understand." Maybe she's just trying to look like she's awesome in front of you. For fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, the comparison is very serious. You're better than her in every way, and of course she's not happy, and this is probably her purpose to get your attention and force you to listen to her. ”

"Can this be?" Ruan Qingzhi was a little unconvinced, "What kind of thoughts are they?" Is a child at that age a monster? ”

Ye Han couldn't cry or laugh: "Qingzhi, you are also a girl of that age." ”

"But I wouldn't have that weird thought!" Ruan Qingzhi answered casually, and then felt a little weak: "I'm actually not a girl of her age, I'm an old monster!" Although I am very good at talking and thinking according to my age, many times I don't pretend to be like it. ”

"Hah!" Ye Han was amused by her, "You call yourself an 'old monster' again!" I've said it so many times that even I have to believe it! ”

Ruan Qingzhi couldn't explain this matter to him for the time being, so he had to laugh perfunctorily twice, and then complained in his arms: "This trip can almost be said to be nothing, and I cried in vain!" I'm not going out tomorrow! ”

Of course, Ye Han will not object to her decision, even if she says: "If you don't come out, you won't come out." Let's take a day off and ......"

Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, and his face gradually became a little gloomy.

Ruan Qingzhi immediately became nervous, and hurriedly followed his gaze, and saw many people gathered outside the car window, all looking in the same direction.

"Is there any excitement over there?" She sat up on Ye Han's shoulder.

Ye Han's face was gloomy: "Over there, it's the return inn." ”

"Oh, it's our ......," Ruan Qingzhi suddenly realized, "...... The inn where we stayed! What are those people doing? They surrounded the inn where we were staying?! ”

"Now it seems, I'm afraid so." Ye Han said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, the carriage slowly reached the door of the inn. Ye Han saw Chu Weiyang standing on the Shangma Stone at a glance, and at the same time, he also saw those people who were shouting around Chu Weiyang.

They were all ordinary people, who originally didn't dare to say anything when they saw the officers and soldiers cowering when they saw the sergeants, but now they actually had the courage to shout at Chu Weiyang.

If you want to say that there is nothing strange behind it, who believes it?!

Ruan Qingzhi listened to the crowd outside the car window, and was a little nervous: "Or, let's just run away and not go back to the inn?" ”

"I'm afraid it's late," Ye Han said with a wry smile, "Since our car appeared on the street, there have been many people 'escorting' before and after." If we want to escape, we don't have to hit someone. ”

"It just doesn't make sense!" Ruan Qingzhi simply lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, "What are you doing?" What does it mean to stop my car? Do you want to recognize me as a mother? ”

People outside the car immediately rushed up. Ye Han hurriedly got out of the car, protected Ruan Qingzhi in his arms, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" Chu Weiyang, go find the Yangcheng Terracotta Division! Are there no people to take care of the crowds? ”

As soon as Chu Weiyang saw the two of them, he immediately pounced as if he had seen a savior: "Akan, help, ahhh

The people couldn't stop him from breaking through, and some people keenly heard the name he shouted, and immediately exclaimed: "He shouted 'Akan'? His Royal Highness King Li's name seems to be a 'cold' word! So that person is really His Royal Highness King Li? ”

Many people passed such questions to each other, and of course, some people asked Ye Han in person: "Are you His Royal Highness King Li?" Some people say that His Royal Highness King Li and Miss Ruan live in the Laigui Inn, aren't you? ”

Ye Han didn't hesitate, and after protecting Ruan Qingzhi, he raised his head: "Yes, this king is the third prince Ling Han." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the vicinity immediately fell silent, and at the same time, many chattering voices were transmitting the news backwards, and the louder they got, like water waves rippling outward, and then rushing back like waves of water hitting the riverbank.

"Are you really His Royal Highness King Li? Then this girl is Miss Ruan? Why did you come to Yangcheng without concealing your identity? ”

"Your Royal Highness King Li, are you really being hunted down by King Rui?"

"Is Miss Ruan a real phoenix or a fake phoenix?"

"Some people say that you two are impostor liars, do you want to explain?"

"His Royal Highness King Li, have you been deceived by Miss Ruan? Everyone in Shangjing knows that Miss Ruan Er is the phoenix life, and so many masters have verified it in public! ”

"In my opinion, His Royal Highness King Li is also fake! How can a dead man come back to life? The previous rumors were clearly the work of the two of them! ”

……

Ruan Qingzhi made a rough estimate that there were thousands of people on this street who were paying attention to the inn, and the noise was endless.

Of course, this situation cannot be spontaneous.

Someone, fanning the flames.

Ruan Qingzhi sneered mockingly, and tugged at Ye Han's sleeve: "Find a higher place, let everyone look at us, and talk." ”
