It was night, in the meditation room of Kiyomizu Temple, the eyes of the master of Jingkong were closed, and the Buddhist beads in his hands were turning down.

The fragrance of the Buddha floats, which makes his old face even more kind.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and he felt a figure standing in front of him, and the Master of Clearance frowned, "Senior brother." ”

When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was really Xiaoyaozi.

The last time we met, it was August 15 last year.

That night, the moon hung in the sky, still round and bright.

It's a pity that Xiaoyaozi is not in the mood to compete with the master of clearance.

Because, Lin Sheng has been away from him for more than a year.

And now, Xiaoyaozi, who is a family all over the world, heard the news that his little apprentice, who had been dead for two years, was "alive" again, so he reappeared in the capital non-stop.

From the appearance of Xiaoyaozi, he is much older than the Master of Pure Space.

Moreover, the spirit is also slightly decadent.

Seeing Xiaoyaozi's dusty breath and bloodshot eyes, Master Jingkong sighed lightly, and then while pouring tea for Xiaoyaozi, he motioned for him to sit down: "Senior brother, why did you come back in such a hurry?" ”

After Xiaoyaozi sat down, his tight lips trembled a little: "Senior brother......"

"Have a cup of tea first, and then talk slowly." Sensing that Xiaoyaozi's mood was a little uncomfortable, the Master of Clearance handed the teacup to his hand.

Xiaoyaozi held the teacup tightly and did not drink the tea, and only suppressed the heart that was beating wildly in his chest for a while, and said, "Sheng'er...... She unveiled the emperor's list. ”

Since Gu Jinli jumped off the cliff, Master Clearance has never asked about this matter in Beijing.

He meditated in retreat every day, and he saw no one except his little disciple Huihe.

Of course, this person does not include his junior brother Xiaoyaozi.

As if isolated from the world, after hearing Xiaoyaozi's words, the Master of Clearance was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "Sheng'er? ”

He didn't know if the "Sheng'er" in Xiaoyaozi's mouth was the "Sheng'er" he understood, and he was afraid to ask about the sadness that poked Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Senior brother, I received news that Sheng'er unveiled the imperial list for the treatment of the Queen Mother a few days ago. ”

"Huh?" Master Clearance confirmed that what Xiaoyaozi was talking about was indeed his nephew Lin Sheng, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise: "You mean Sheng'er?!" ”

"Senior brother, you don't believe it either, do you? That's exactly what the people down there told me. Xiaoyaozi put the cup down and said with a serious face: "Two years ago, Sheng'er's brain disease was incurable, and I tried all means to keep her. ”

"I still remember the day she died, pulling me by the sleeve and saying that I could finally go home."

"She likes the sea of flowers in the mountains behind Youyou Valley, so I buried her there with my own hands."

Not long after Gu Jinli jumped off the cliff, Lin Sheng died in Xiaoyaozi's arms.

Recalling the picture at that time, Xiaoyaozi's tone became more and more sad, and moist moisture appeared in his old eyes: "Senior brother, before I came to you, I deliberately went back to Youyou Valley once. ”

"Sheng'er is still there, how can she ......"

When he said these words, Xiaoyaozi's heart was actually complicated.

On the one hand, he was sure that it was impossible for Lin Sheng to come back from the dead.

After all, Lin Sheng's grave was the same as before he left, except for some grass growing around it, and the soil did not show any traces of being turned.

But on the other hand, he hoped that Lin Sheng would come back to life.

Therefore, the double confrontation between reason and fantasy made his heart extremely tormented.

Master Clearance was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Senior brother, people die like lights going out. ”

"Perhaps, the news is wrong."

"Senior brother, I also know that caring is chaos." Xiaoyaozi frowned, and said in a low voice: "However, I still want to see if that person looks exactly like Sheng'er." ”

Lin Sheng's identity is currently only known to Qi Hao.

It stands to reason that Xiaoyaozi will not know.

However, if the man in black deliberately revealed it to him, it would not be surprising.

Master Jingkong thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay if you want to go and see, but you better take a good rest first, and it's not too late to find a chance to confirm tomorrow." ”

His eyes fell on the hem of Xiaoyaozi's clothes, which seemed to be cut by a branch, and he said helplessly: "You can rest here with me." ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at Master Pure Space for a long time and muttered, "Senior brother...... It's the first time in so many years that you've stayed with me for the night. ”

If you listen to this, it is nothing.

The eyes of those who can speak are burning, which makes those who listen inevitably think too much.

The Master of Clearance froze, closed his eyes, and continued to rotate the Buddha beads in his hand.

Xiaoyaozi saw that Master Jingkong avoided himself as always, he lowered his eyes, removed the look of loss in his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Senior brother, this is a quiet place for Buddhism, and I still won't disturb Senior Brother's cultivation." ”

Then he got up and walked to the door.

However, it may have been the fatigue of the days of running and stumbling his steps a few times.

The Clearance Master's eyes flashed, and he immediately flew behind Xiaoyaozi in the blink of an eye, and held his back back, "Senior brother, don't be stubborn anymore." ”

Xiaoyaozi caught the concern in the eyes of the Master of Clearance, and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, the stubborn person has always been you, not me. ”

The master of clearance clenched his hands, turned his face away, and helped Xiaoyaozi to the direction of the bed.

Xiaoyaozi saw that the master of the clear space did not say a word, and he no longer spoke.

After helping Xiaoyaozi to bed, Master Jingkong returned to the futon and continued to meditate.

Feeling the gaze of Xiaoyaozi staring at him behind him, his calm heart lake still couldn't help but ripple in circles.

Although Chen Zexuan gave her a rough introduction to these people Lin Sheng saw in the past few days, because she spent most of her time in the "Ten Thousand Caves" for training, she only knew their identities and temperaments, and she didn't know much about other aspects.

Originally, Lin Sheng planned to listen to Chen Zexuan analyze the situation in Beijing in the mansion today, but he didn't expect that as soon as the tea was filled, news came from the palace and asked her to enter the palace.

The person who looked for her this time was the Queen Mother, but she was not treating the Queen Mother.

Probably yesterday, Yin Suwan and Shuang'er went to visit the Queen Mother together, and Shuang'er casually said that she met Lin Sheng in the courtyard before the queen, and Mama Lan's eyes lit up, and she offered to ask Lin Sheng to diagnose Yin Suwan's pulse.

The Queen Mother felt that Lin Sheng's medical skills were higher than Wei Liao's, so she asked her to enter the palace.

After entering Shoukang Palace, after Mama Lan explained the purpose of letting Lin Sheng come over on behalf of the Queen Mother, Lin Sheng's hand holding the medicine box unconsciously became harder, but his face was indifferent.

She looked at Yin Suwan, who was sitting on the chair coughing slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Since the Queen Mother trusts Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng will naturally not let the Queen Mother and your old man down." ”

When Lin Sheng was mentioned, because Mama Lan and the Queen Mother only didn't name names, Yin Suwan didn't know who the white-clothed boy who took the initiative to diagnose her pulse yesterday was.

After hearing the word "Lin Sheng", Yin Suwan, who was covering her mouth, paused, and she looked at Lin Sheng in disbelief: "Lin ...... Lin Sheng? ”

Even if Gu Jinli died, it was a thorn in her heart that could not be pulled out.

Because, in the eyes of everyone, Qi Hao would rather guard a dead man's tomb in Nanshan than look at himself who is alive.

Therefore, he can't even compare to a dead person, how can he not resent everyone or anything related to Gu Jinli in his heart?

And Lin Sheng had been friends with Gu Jinli, so Yin Suwan did not forget her like others.

On the contrary, this nasty Lin Sheng impressed her very much.

Seeing through Yin Suwan's thoughts at a glance, Lin Sheng asked knowingly: "Lord of Yihe, because the grass people were born in the forest, they have a single name of the word 'sheng', is there any problem?" ”

Before Yin Suwan didn't reveal her identity yesterday, she called herself "below", and there was nothing wrong with calling Yin Suwan a "girl".

Now, now that he "knows" that Yin Suwan is the county lord, Lin Sheng, as a doctor with no identity and no status, must be inferior to Yin Suwan as the "county lord" and call himself "grass people".

Her explanation is the same as the answer she gave to the Queen Mother before, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Although Yin Suwan had met Lin Sheng, she was hindered by the difference between men and women, so she didn't pay much attention to Lin Sheng's appearance.

looked at Lin Sheng carefully, and saw that her face was white and her lips were red, although the combination of facial features was a little delicate, but the pair of sword eyebrows that revealed her heroism would not make her look too girly.

Her eyes moved to Lin Sheng's throat, and Yin Suwan dispelled the doubts in her heart.

Lin Sheng knew that Yin Suwan saw her "Adam's apple", and sneered in her heart.

When she first appeared in front of everyone, her face was not "processed" in any way.

Later, Qi Hao recognized her identity, which was an accident.

And the others, she categorically couldn't let them know anymore.

In addition to martial arts, she has also spent a lot of thought on medical skills in the past two years.

If not strictly speaking, transfiguration is also among them.

There is a transfiguration technique called "fine-tuning".

That is, the subtle adjustment of the person's face, although the change is small, can naturally and gradually replace the previous impression that is retained in the person's mind.

It's like looking at Lin Sheng in front of her, Yin Suwan recalls the last time she saw her, and she doesn't feel that Lin Sheng has changed in appearance now.

However, Lin Sheng's appearance is really different from last time.

If it weren't for Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, ordinary people would really not notice this.

"Then there's Lady Laurin to take my pulse." Yin Suwan nodded, put the handkerchief on her wrist, and motioned for Lin Sheng to check her pulse.

"Yes." Lin Sheng responded, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to find Yin Suwan's pulse, and looked serious.

After a while, she frowned and hesitated: "The county lord's pulse is very weak, not very good. ”

Yin Suwan's heart jumped, and she blurted out: "Why is it not good?" ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother also turned her head to look at Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The county lord's heart is seriously damaged, and the internal organs seem to be weakened, so the grass people are probably more than capable of strength." ”

This means that she is euphemistically saying that she can't cure Yin Suwan.

Sure enough, when Yin Suwan heard this, her already sickly face became more and more pale.

The Queen Mother was also shocked, and said urgently: "Lin Sheng, can't you look at Wan'er's body?" ”

"Uh......" Lin Sheng looked at the Queen Mother strangely, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Lord of Yihe County is a daughter, and besides, the grass people are men, how can they ...... How can you look at the body of the county lord? ”

"Although the grass people have not yet married a wife, but in the end there is a difference between men and women, and the grass ......"

Before Lin Sheng finished speaking, the Queen Mother interrupted her angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

"Lin Sheng, the mourning family wants you to treat Wan'er's girl, what are you talking nonsense?!"

"That's right!" Lin Sheng suddenly realized and said: "The grass people have misunderstood, and I hope that the queen mother and the county lord will forgive their sins." ”

The Queen Mother glared at Lin Sheng unhappily, and while stroking her chest, she exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, and after calming her emotions, she continued: "Wan'er has taken a lot of medicines prescribed by the Imperial Doctor in the past two years, but she doesn't see a little complexion. ”

"You can prescribe a few pairs of medicine for her, and see if the effect is good!"

The Queen Mother's tone did not allow Lin Sheng to refuse, but it was right to her heart.

Reluctantly glanced at Yin Suwan, she lowered her head and said, "The grass people do their best." ”

Yin Suwan listened, grabbed Shuang'er's hand tightly, and finally had a little blood on her face, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, and thanked Dade and said, "Then thank you Lin Gongzi." ”

Lin Sheng nodded and gave Yin Suwan a polite smile.

"The mourning family drank your medicine, it's only been a day, and I feel much better." The Queen Mother leaned back on the soft pillow, squinted her eyes and said, "As long as you do your best to take care of the illness of the mourning family and Wan'er girl, the mourning family is indispensable for your benefits." ”

Coercion and temptation are what most superiors like to do, but whether these promises are true or false depends on the character.

Last time, the Queen Mother promised Lin Sheng that all her requirements could be met.

And just now, listening to this, the Queen Mother transferred the initiative from Lin Sheng's hands.

Lin Sheng's eyes dimmed, and he immediately said in a panic: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother rewarded the priceless 'Glass Thousand Lamps' to the grass people, and the grass people were already very flattered, and they really didn't dare to receive any more rewards from the Queen Mother." ”

"The grass people are a small people in the rivers and lakes, and it is the blessing of the grass people to be able to treat the queen mother."

"Yesterday, the Queen Mother said that you will give the grass people whatever they want, and this is really tormenting the grass people."

"How can the grass people be so respected? The grass people are really ......"

Lin Sheng's words were incoherent, and he seemed to be really excited.

However, it seems that there are more words than the last time the Queen Mother saw her, which is a bit annoying.

The Queen Mother frowned, interrupting Lin Sheng's chatter: "Okay, you just have to be careful, the mourning family can't treat you badly!" ”

Lin Sheng heard the perfunctory meaning in the Queen Mother's words, and nodded again and again: "Yes, the Queen Mother, you will naturally not deceive the grass people." ”

After a pause, she deliberately said something that made the Queen Mother's old face flush: "The grass people haven't thought about what they want yet, wait for a few days when the grass people think about it, and then ask the Queen Mother for a reward." ”

After hearing this, Mama Lan glanced at the Queen Mother, as if she was disgusted that Lin Sheng would not be able to observe words and feelings.

Of course, Mama Lan remembered Lin Sheng's arrogant and rude appearance when she entered the palace for the first time when the Queen Mother didn't wake up, and then thought about what she said about these brainless words, so she didn't feel strange.

After all, how can a person who was born in the countryside and has never seen the world know what rules and etiquette he has?

Even if she occasionally shows that little elegance, it's really rare to think about it now.

Lin Sheng didn't seem to notice the disdainful looks of Mama Lan and the Queen Mother, scratched the back of his head, and said honestly: "However, the grass people now have a bold request, and I hope the Queen Mother will approve it." ”

The Queen Mother took the cup handed over by Mama Lan, took a sip of tea, and moistened her throat: "Say." ”

Lin Sheng coughed lightly twice and whispered: "The grass people want a pair of ink treasures from the Queen Mother." ”

"What?" Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Mama Lan spoke first and scolded angrily: "What are you? Dare the lion open his mouth and ask for the queen mother's ink treasure? Do you deserve it too? ”

As soon as Mama Lan's words came out, Lin Sheng let out a "poof" and knelt on the ground, trembling.

While kowtowing, he shouted: "The Queen Mother is angry, the Queen Mother is angry!" ”

"The grass people know that they are wrong, and beg the Queen Mother not to kill the grass people!"

was noisy by Lin Sheng, but the Queen Mother couldn't have a seizure.

After all, she and Yin Suwan still have to ask Lin Sheng.

Rubbing her eyebrows, she said in an unkind tone to Mama Lan: "Mama Lan, go and look through the calligraphy and paintings in the early years of the mourning family and find a pair for her." ”

"The Queen Mother?" Mama Lan opened her mouth wide, she couldn't believe that the Queen Mother had compromised so kindly, and couldn't help asking, "There are not many of your calligraphy and paintings left." ”

Indeed, at the age of the Queen Mother, it is impossible to pick up a pen and write and draw anymore.

Besides, during the years she was in charge of the harem, there were all kinds of things that the Queen Mother needed to distract, and she had no leisure and elegance in writing and painting.

Therefore, there is really a limit to what has been preserved.

However, Lin Sheng couldn't let the Queen Mother, who was sick in bed, go down to the ground to write with a pen now, so if he wanted to get the Queen Mother's words, he could only take this risky move.

Mama Lan saw the Queen Mother waving her hand, so she had to turn around and walk inside.

The Queen Mother didn't let Lin Sheng get up, and Lin Sheng kept kneeling decently.

Yin Suwan looked at Lin Sheng, and only felt that this person was so strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

After a while, Mama Lan finally came out with a yellowed painting scroll, and then unfolded it in front of everyone little by little.

The painting is a plum blossom dyed with a touch of ink, and the poem mentioned is only two sentences: "Don't let people praise the color, only leave the pure air full of goodness." ”

Plum blossoms have been a symbol of nobility and perseverance since ancient times.

It does not compete with the flowers for time, and does not compete with the crowd for beauty.

Every time the flowers wither, the harsh cold winter, smiling proud of the ice and snow.

Lin Sheng's eyes flashed with amazement, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to be such a person back then.

Carefully took the scroll from Mama Lan's hand, Lin Sheng gently stroked the handwriting that was still clear despite the age, and stopped where the seal of the Queen Mother was stamped, and then rolled up the calligraphy and painting, and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you to the Queen Mother." ”

Before entering the palace, she never thought about asking the Queen Mother for any calligraphy and painting.

However, this thought flashed through my mind for a moment.

If a person's handwriting is not deliberately changed, the general handwriting or writing habits will not change.

What kind of material is the holy decree, she has seen and touched it, so as long as she gets the seal of the queen mother, it will be convenient for the master to do anything in the future.

The Queen Mother didn't even want to look at Lin Sheng anymore, and issued an eviction order: "The mourning family is tired, you can step down." ”

Lin Sheng didn't want to stay any longer, so he immediately stood up and retreated.

"Queen Mother, he is so dignified, what do you suddenly want your calligraphy and painting to do? Could this Lin Sheng have any bad intentions? After Lin Sheng left, Mama Lan still asked uneasily.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, pouted and said, "At first, the mourning family still looked at her like a scholar. ”

"Look at it now, but it's a local person who has never seen the world! It's really sad that the family looks down on her! ”

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Mama Lan also felt that she was making a little fuss, and then echoed: "The Queen Mother is right, it is the old slave who is too careful." ”

The Queen Mother has said so much today, she is really a little tired.

She yawned and said to Yin Suwan: "Wan'er girl, you can relax and take care of your body with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Yin Suwan saw that the Queen Mother was about to rest, so she left the hall with the support of Shuang'er.

Lin Sheng walked out, thinking that Chen Zexuan had said that Gu Jinli had also asked the old emperor for a condition before.

It would be nice if I could ask for a copy from the old emperor whenever.

After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped.

Seeing that a young man in red was slowly walking from the opposite side, Lin Sheng only felt that the young man's clothes were as red as a flame, which was incompatible with this lifeless court.

The young man also seemed to see Lin Sheng, he stopped and looked over.

The little eunuch who followed behind saw that the young man was not leaving, so he was puzzled: "Eighth prince? ”

Lin Sheng knew in his heart that it turned out to be the youngest Eighth Prince Qi Ling.

That day, she inadvertently walked outside the Minghui Palace, and she remembered that she had saved him from drowning.

I don't know if he still remembers his life-saving grace.

But what about remembering?

Now that she has a different face, what dare she expect?

Looking away from the good-looking face of the Eighth Prince, Lin Sheng couldn't help but look at the red clothes that fell on him.

This red, gorgeous eyes, but why does this young man seem to be soaked in ice and snow between his eyebrows?

The Eighth Prince noticed Lin Sheng staring at him and frowned.

Xiao Xiangzi noticed the displeasure of the Eighth Prince, and immediately stepped forward, shaking the dust while shouting coldly: "Who are you?" When you see the Eighth Prince, how dare you not salute? ”

Lin Sheng hurriedly lowered his head and arched his hand: "Xiaomin is Lin Sheng, who diagnosed the Queen Mother, and has seen the Eighth Prince. ”

The Eighth Prince glanced at Lin Sheng, raised his feet and walked in the direction of the imperial study.

Xiao Xiangzi snorted coldly and immediately chased after him.

Lin Sheng looked at Xiao Xiangzi's dog-legged appearance, sneered and shook his head.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Sheng handed over the Queen Mother's calligraphy and paintings to the man in black, and told him his plan.

After hearing this, the man in black's eyes lit up, but then denied: "Even if you can forge the queen mother's decree, you have to wait for the queen mother to return to the west to be useful." ”

Lin Sheng knew what the man in black meant, so he said, "Master, the queen mother's decree is not credible against the emperor's edict. ”

The black-clothed man's eyes flashed coldly, and he said slowly, "We have to speed up our movements." ”

"Master." Chen Zexuan, who had never spoken, thought for a while and asked, "Between King Qing and King Xuan, one person must be chosen to support him as a puppet. ”

The man in black said coldly: "These two fools, which one is not Qi Hao's opponent combined!" ”

"The Eighth Prince." Thinking of the red clothes, Lin Sheng suddenly said, "Master, I think the Eighth Prince can give it a try." ”

When the man in black heard this, he seemed to hear a joke: "The Eighth Prince? A hairy boy is just a hairy boy, with no power and no power, and he can't become a climate! ”

"Nope." Lin Sheng shook his head and said firmly: "Master, it is precisely because of the young age of the Eighth Emperor that we can control him. ”

"Moreover, the person behind him is the queen, although the queen is not favored by the old emperor, but the reason why the queen has stood tall in the palace all these years is also because of the support of the Fang family."

Chen Zexuan's eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Lin Sheng, and then she said: "The Fang family has a lot of people who are clinging, so the Eighth Prince is not weak. ”

"Besides, the Eighth Prince is gifted and intelligent, and with our assistance, he may really be able to make things happen."

The man in black listened to Lin Sheng's analysis, and couldn't help but look at her gaze with scrutiny, "Sheng'er, do you remember the Eighth Prince?" ”

Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "No, it's just that I heard my brother mention to me several princes and princes in Beijing before." ”

After hearing this, the man in black relaxed a little, and said after a while: "Whether you want to support the Eighth Prince, this depends on whether he has the ambition to become the emperor." ”

Chen Zexuan pursed his lips and said slowly: "Master, even if the Eighth Prince has no ambition, the queen is bent on pushing him to the throne. ”

The man in black nodded, and said thoughtfully: "This matter is not urgent, we need to observe the Eighth Prince carefully." ”

As soon as his words changed, he said to Lin Sheng again: "By the way, Sheng'er, you need to find more opportunities to get close to Qi Hao in the future." ”

"That jade pendant is crucial to our plans."

"Yes, Sheng'er knows." Although Lin Sheng was puzzled, the man in black never told her and Chen Zexuan what the jade pendant was.

Chen Zexuan clenched his fists, but he didn't have the courage to object, so he could only listen to Lin Sheng's response. ()
