Xuan Ran stared at Shen Huai with burning eyes, his gaze was full of energy, not at all like an old man who was dying.

"You come in with me." Xuan Ran retracted his gaze and turned to walk towards the depths of the room.

Shen Huai frowned, and after a while, he followed him in.

As soon as he entered the inner room, the door behind Shen Huai closed with a sound.

Shen Huai raised his head and stared at Xuan Ran vigilantly.

Xuan Ran turned a blind eye to the vigilance in Shen Huai's eyes, picked up a candle from the wall, got up and walked towards the depths of the room.

Shen Huai glanced at the closed door behind him, his eyes lowered, and followed Xuan Ran's steps.

The further down he went, the dimmer the light became, and only the candle in Xuan Ran's hand was the only light in this world.

Shen Huai seemed to inadvertently wipe the wall on one side with his hand, and his eyes darkened.

It's already underground.

In this underground tunnel where he couldn't see the sky, Shen Huai didn't know how long he had been gone.

Eventually, Xuan Ran stopped in front of a stone door.

Shen Huai watched him fiddle in front of the stone door for a few moments, and the stone door that blended in with the surrounding soil suddenly opened.

Xuan Ran turned his head to look at Shen Huai, and said, "Come in."

Shen Huai followed behind Xuan Ran and walked in.

This time, Xuan Ran didn't close the stone door and let it open with a grin.

The scene inside the stone gate was not much different from the outside, and the only difference was that there was a simple bed and a table.

Xuan Ran placed the candle on the table and walked around in this small space.

Shen Huai stood at the door and watched Xuan Ran squat down near the bed, reaching out to reach something under the bed.

After a while, Xuan Ran walked up to Shen Huai with a simple and unpretentious wooden box.

Shen Huai looked at him and didn't take the box.

Xuan Ran didn't force her, only put the box on the table on one side, "Aren't you curious?"

"Curious about what?" Shen Huai looked at Xuan Ran and asked rhetorically.

Xuan Ran's face was still the chattering expression of a monk who had attained the Tao, "Haven't you ever thought about your life experience?"

Shen Huai's pupils shrank, and there was a little more speculation in his expression when he looked at Xuan Ran.

Xuan Ran didn't care about Shen Huai's gaze, and only pushed the wooden box on the table in the direction of Shen Huai, "Miss Shen, if you have time, you might as well go to Xiliang to take a look." ”

Shen Huai squinted at Xuan Ran sitting in front of him, wondering what he meant.

"Well, it's not too early. I should send Miss Shen back to you, so as not to make Niangniang wait for a long time. Xuan Ran diverted the topic, and only picked up the wooden box on the table and put it in Shen Huai's hand.

"I believe the contents of this box are exactly what Miss Shen needs."

Xuan Ran sensed Shen Huai's resistance, and with a little force in his hand, the box fell firmly into Shen Huai's arms.

Shen Huai held the box in his arms, staring straight at Xuan Ran who was walking in front of him, with a little more scrutiny in his eyes.

Fang Cai Xuanran seemed to be just holding the box lightly, but she felt that it was too heavy for a thousand pounds, and she couldn't break free.

When Shen Huai returned to the meditation room, Xuan Ran summoned a small novice and led Shen Huai back.

Seeing Yan Yu and the others, Shen Huai concealed what happened just now, and only said that Xuan Ran saw that she had a relationship with him, and discussed Buddhist scriptures with her for a while.

Yan Yu did not doubt that he had him, and explained a few more words to Shen Huai, and left with Qi Wenzhao.

Compared with Yan Yu, Zhao Hui stared at Shen Huai's skirt with a slight glint in his eyes, and stopped talking a few times.

It wasn't until Yan Yu left that Zhao Huishi couldn't help but step forward, "Where did you go?"

Shen Huai glanced at her, "Listen to Master Xuanran's lecture in the meditation room." ”

Zhaohui looked at Shen Huai, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled strangely, "You hide it from your mother, but don't try to hide it from me." Even if you walk a little longer when you come back, you won't get so much wet mud on the side of your skirt, let alone ...... It wasn't raining outside, the ground was dry. ”

Shen Huai looked down at his skirt, and sure enough, he saw that there was a lot of wet mud on it.

Shen Huai rubbed his temples, knowing that Zhao Huijue was not as easy to fool as Yan Yu.

But about Xuanran's matter, Shen Huai didn't find out clearly now, so naturally he didn't want too many people to know.

Seeing a woman sitting across from her like an interrogator staring at her, Shen Huai had another headache.

As a last resort, Shen Huai told Zhaohui what had just happened.

Anyway, this woman also knows a little about her background, so it is better to tell her and see if she can think of anything else.

After listening to what Shen Huai said, Zhaohui fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Shen Huai saw Zhaohui's demeanor and hurriedly ripped open his shirt.

Shen Huai was startled by her actions, and his eyelids jumped.

In broad daylight, what kind of demon is she doing?

Zhao Hui impatiently took out the yellowed scroll hidden in his arms and opened it.

Shen Huai looked at her puzzled.

She had seen it a while ago.

"Ah Huai, come on!" Zhao Hui held the scroll with one hand, and beckoned to Shen Huai.

Shen Huai leaned over.

I saw Zhaohui pointing to a corner of the scroll with an excited expression.

When Shen Huai took a closer look, he found that the ink on that corner was blurred, and he could only vaguely identify the name of a person.

"Wei Qing?" Shen Huai struggled to read the handwriting on it.

Zhaohui nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this Wei Qing should be the prime minister of Xiliang." ”

There was a faint excitement in Zhao Hui's words.

Shen Huai was also stunned.

Xiliang ......

It's Xiliang again......

What Xuan Ran said just now is also Xiliang.

"Ah Huai, then Wei Qing must have a great relationship with you." Zhao Hui said excitedly.

The person who can paint such an intimate portrait of a woman must have a great relationship between the two.

In the afternoon, Shen Huai's expression was in a trance.

is different from Zhaohui's excitement, she is more confused.

For the relatives he had never met, Shen Huai did not have much yearning.

It's just that I was disturbed by the news for a while, and I don't know what to do.

At night, Shen Huai sat beside Qi Rin absentmindedly eating the meal in front of her, and even Qi Rin called her several times and didn't come back to her senses.

"Huai." In the end, it was Yan Yu who called her to attract Shen Huai's attention.

"But you're not feeling well?" Yan Yu looked at Shen Huai worriedly.

Shen Huai had a warm smile on his face, and shook his head apologetically towards Yanyu, "I'm just thinking about one thing." ”

Yan Yu still didn't dare to rest assured, and carefully told Shen Huai a few words before he was willing to withdraw his gaze.

According to the rules, after dinner, everyone has to go to the front hall to burn incense and pray for blessings and copy scriptures.

It's just that without waiting for everyone to get up, Qi Wenzhao opened his mouth and asked Shen Huai to stay, and by the way, he also left Qi Rin to accompany Shen Huai.

"What's going on?" Qi Rin and Shen Huai have been together for so long, and they can't see that something is wrong with Shen Huai.

When everyone was astigmatized, Qi Rin pushed Shen Huai out of the room to a secluded place and asked in a low voice.

Shen Huai was silent for a while, and told Qi Rin what happened today without missing anything.

At the end, Shen Huai added with a little discouragement, "Rin, I don't know what to do." ”

This was the first time that Shen Huai had exposed his fragile side in front of Qi Rin.

For the so-called blood relatives, Shen Huai has no feelings. But there was a faint unusual meaning in Xuan Ran's words with her, which had to make Shen Huai think deeply.

Qi Rin was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard what Shen Huai said.

Xiliang's prime minister and Ah Huai are very likely to be blood relatives.

"If you don't want to recognize them, I have a way to keep them from you. If you want, I'll go to Xiliang with you. Qi Rin reached out and stroked the top of Shen Huai's hair and rubbed it gently.

Shen Huai blinked, feeling the warmth from Qi Rin's palm, and the anxiety in his heart was calmed for a while.

When did Rin learn this little move?

Shen Huai relaxed, leaned on the back of the chair, pulled one of Qi Rin's hands with one hand, and played with it carefully.

"Wait a little longer."

The affairs of the Chamber of Commerce have not settled down yet, and she and Qi Rin have not been able to live a few days of peace, so let's talk about these annoying things later.

At this time, Shen Huai didn't know that the peace between her and Qi Rin was broken soon after.

Shen Huai and Qi Rin leisurely strolled around this temple located halfway up the mountain.

One of Qi Rin's hands was clasped in the palm of Shen Huai's palm and held by her.

Just when Shen Huai estimated that it was almost time to go back, Qi Rin's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he pulled Shen Huai into the woods on the side.

Shen Huai didn't react for a while, and when she came back to her senses, several pitch-black figures suddenly rushed in front of them.

Qi Rin's face changed, and he waited until all those figures disappeared before escorting Shen Huai out from behind the woods.

Shen Huai saw those people, and his face was also very ugly.

"Jingyuan." Qi Rin suddenly let out a low snort.

Shen Huai's eyes widened as he looked at the person who appeared beside Qi Rin.

When did he follow?

Qi Rin knew that Shen Huai must be puzzled now, but he didn't have much time to explain to her, so he could only let Jingyuan protect her. He went to look for Qi Wenzhao and the others.

As Qi Rin expected, Qi Wenzhao and the others were now surrounded by dozens of people dressed in dark clothes.

Without exception, the faces of those men were covered with a silver mask.

The silver luster shimmered in this lonely Buddhist hall.

Qi Wenzhao looked at the person in front of him, and there was no panic on his face.

"After all these years, I thought he would let go." A complicated light flashed in Qi Wenzhao's eyes, and he said softly.

Qi Han stood beside him and squinted at Qi Wenzhao.

The palace civil strife many years ago, people who didn't know thought that the people on the rivers and lakes were dissatisfied with Qi Wenzhao and organized and planned it. But only a few of them knew that the real mastermind of the civil strife was not a person in the rivers and lakes, but a member of the royal family.

Zhaohui looked at the person in front of him, and his mind involuntarily flashed over the arrow from many years ago.

Zhao Hui licked the corners of his lips, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.
