It's day and night.

Taiji Palace, Lizheng Palace.

Mei Niang stood under His Royal Highness, looking at the night sky in front of her, and only after a long sigh did she let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Minghe." ”

Minghe stepped forward and saluted: "Niangniang, what's the matter?" ”

"They...... Where are you now? ”

"Mother is talking ......"

"Hmm."

"This ...... Minghe didn't know...... However, I heard the Lord say that this matter is related to the reputation of the mother's family, and it is being strictly investigated in secret, so it is not a mourning for the time being. The bodies of the two ladies were placed in the pure house.

Mei Niang was silent, and then silent, and then said again after a while: "Tomorrow, the word will be delivered, the palace will go, take a look." ”

Minghe thought about it for a while, but said lightly: "Niangniang, isn't it appropriate?" ”

Mei Niang immediately turned around and looked at him: "What did you say?" ”

"...... Tomorrow, the Lord is going to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace with Niangniang to worship the first queen's mother, you are only afraid of ......" Minghe hesitated for a moment and hesitated.

Mei Niang thought about it for a while and said lightly: "Then it's the day after tomorrow." ”

"The Day After ......"

"Don't say it, even the day after tomorrow, there are things that this palace can't live without."

“…… Yes, Concubine Yan entered the palace a few days ago, and she had already asked Niangniang for mercy, and the next day King Ji was the eldest son of the eldest son, and Niangniang was going to see her. ”

“……”

"Niangniang, two days later, Niangniang has nothing important. Why don't you ......"

"No need." Mei Niang said softly: "Since Jiro has the intention to secretly investigate this matter, if this palace chooses to see it in such a day, it will probably alarm people......"

Taking a deep breath, she said softly, "I'll go tomorrow night." ”

Minghe should claim to be.

The night was dark, Li Zhi quietly got up from the couch, walked outside the hall, summoned Minghe and asked, "How is the arrangement of Mei Niang's going to Qingjing Juli tomorrow night?" ”

"Peace of mind Lord, all things are ready."

"Things are troublesome these days, so it's better to call the master to accompany you."

"Minghe understands."

“…… Also, after all, she is Mei Niang's biological mother and sister, and filial piety is also her duty. Tomorrow afternoon, I will arrange for her to leave the temple early and go to the Pure House. You've got things ready, don't call them missing. ”

"Minghe understands, that ...... Several Highnesses ......"

"I'll ask her tomorrow, Xian'er's, Xian'er's, all ready, you bring the plain clothes to Hong'er...... But most of the time......"

Li Zhi shook his head and said no more.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Li Zhi and Mei Niang had finished worshipping, so they hugged her to the apse to rest for a while.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Zhi asked Mei Niang: "Do you want to take Hong'er with you?" ”

"Hong'er is the national prince, so it's better for him not to go to such a thing. What's more......" Mei Niang paused, shook her head again, and said, "That's it." When things are settled and there is a time of mourning, it is better to call him again. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said yes. Then he asked, "What...... Let the master accompany you! After all, it's still some time away from here, and it's a strange thing......"

"Jiro." Mei Niang suddenly opened her mouth calmly.

Li Zhi was stunned and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

“…… Never mind. Mei Niang looked at him and spit out such a sentence for a long time.

Li Zhi didn't ask anymore, and only said lightly after a long time: "Well, yes." ”

Mei Niang's expression moved, but she didn't say much, just silent. The things he was packing in his hand slowly stopped. Li Zhi didn't look back, just stood in place, looking at the new willow outside the window that had gradually bloomed green shoots.

Half an hour later.

Li Zhi sat in the hall in a daze, his eyes were blank, for a while, he closed his eyes, sighed, and opened his eyes again, his eyes suddenly became cold: "Where is Chang'an?" ”

"What does the Lord command?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man in white turn over and enter, and made a big salute to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi only looked at him, then reached out and pulled out his right hand jade and handed it to Ji Chang'an and said: "You take this thing to Dali Temple in person, and after seeing it with Lu Guangming, tell him to let the young man go." Then ......"

He paused, took out a vial from his arms, and handed it to Ji Changan: "Take this thing with the young man who was released." Got it? Remember, tell Lu Guangming that you must let the child go. Also, you should make good arrangements along the way, so that he can go back to his hometown safely. ”

Ji Changan should claim that it is, and then turned to leave.

……

An hour later.

Changan.

Tai Chi Palace.

With a pale face, Mei Niang, who came out of the clean house, stood under a tree by the door, paused, closed her eyes, and held the tree slightly to rest for a while.

"Niangniang ......" Yuru, who was holding Li Xian, couldn't help but be a little worried, and took a step forward, but she shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and said in a low voice: "You take the two children back." Hongu ...... The main shrine will stop here for a while...... Listen to the scriptures. ”

“…… Be. Yuru glanced at her sister, and then at Li Dexian, who was standing silently on the side, and then bowed down.

After a while, Mei Niang's side was left with only one person left.

She didn't speak, and neither did the award.

Soon, this calm was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps—it was Minghe.

"Mother."

Seeing Mei Niang, Minghe's face was extremely ugly - this made Li De Award a little surprised...... This child, he recognizes, and even more knows. It must not be a trivial matter to be able to make him look like this.

"How?"

Mei Niang didn't open her eyes, she just closed her eyes and asked.

Minghe glanced at the award, but hesitated and did not speak.

"This is the end of it...... There's no need to shy away from it, you just say it. Mei Niang's voice seemed to suddenly lose her life.

"Yes...... Minghe paused, and said softly: "The Lord is here...... I sent Master Ji to Dali Temple to find Master Lu. When Master Ji went, he brought with him a jade jade that the Lord had never left all year round, as well as a bottle of medicine. ”

Ming He only said five words, and the eyes of the German Award immediately became condensed, and when he finished listening, his eyes widened.

Mei Niang ignored him, and just continued to ask softly, "What medicine?" ”

“…… At first, Minghe didn't know. But later, I heard the child arranged in Dali Temple say that even he didn't know that there was a teenager there, and what he didn't know was that the boy turned white at a young age, and his pupils were even more frightening red. It seems that he was born with some strange disease. When he took the bottle, he seemed to be extremely happy, and he spoke some Western dialects, a strong Master Xie Ji, and then Master Ji shook his head, and he replied in Tang language, saying that with this medicine, his body's sickness can be regarded as a little relieved - that is, to be a monster, and to be a monster who lives a long time. ”

Li Dexian's expression immediately changed: "You said that the young man's hair color is white all over his body, and his pupils are bright red?!" ”

"Yes......"

Hearing this, De Xiang's face was almost pale. But Mei Niang just shook her head and said, "That kid ...... Now that you're out of Chang'an, right? ”

"Yes."

"To the west? In what direction? ”

"The direction is to the west, but I don't know the direction. However, he once told Master Ji that he wanted to go home and go back to his father in Tianshan. ”

"His father ......" Mei Niang turned her eyes and looked at the award and smiled faintly: "It seems that you know who his father is." ”

De Xian's expression was gloomy, and he chuckled after a while: "The old monster of the Tianshan Mountain, because his clan has always suffered from strange diseases, since his ancestors, several generations of descendants have been passed down alone, and the average lifespan is only thirty-nine. And as soon as he was born, his whole body hair was white and his eyes were bright red. It is therefore feared by people and regarded as a monster...... Therefore, their clan never easily went out of the place where the Tianshan Mountains lived, and in order to ensure their own safety, they even made a living by cultivating and nourishing poisons. ”

Mei Niang was silent, and then said lightly: "It seems that the child is really ......"

"Last year, when I was seeking medicine for the Lord, I heard that he had a son who was gifted and wise since he was a child, and he was far superior to his father in terms of poison...... However, two years ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he came to the Central Plains to purchase precious medicinal materials, he was forcibly captured by a group of Dongying ronins as foreign beasts, and obtained gold and silver in the overseas islands by hunting for strange markets...... Thinking about it this time, the lord asked Murong Zheng to go to Dongying, but he had a big heart. ”

De Award smiled bitterly and said lightly: "It's just ...... Why did he ......?"

"Even you can't hide it?" Mei Niang leaned against the wall, slowly, slowly, moving forward, refusing to call someone to serve the award, and only whispered: "Because ...... If he wants to hide it from this palace, he must hide it from everyone in the world. It's a pity...... After all, he didn't hide it from everyone in the world. Because there is ...... in this world"

She stopped and raised her eyes to look at the sky: "There is nothing wrong with this, you can hide it from the world." ”

Li Defei was silent, and only after a while did he say: "But even if the Lord wants this child to make a meridian soul break for him, it may not be ......."

"Not necessarily. Because someone will do it for him. ”

Mei Niang said calmly: "Because there are people who don't want to ...... more than him" She turned her head and looked at the silent and pure house, her eyes were blank and sad: "I don't want them to live." ”

She hung her head and was speechless for a while.

Li Dexuan was silent and clenched the sword in his hand.

……

It's night.

In the middle of the long street.

When Mei Niang, who was dressed in ink, pushed open the door, she was not surprised to see Ryan sitting neatly on the sides, guarding a green lamp, a pot and two cups, and looking at herself with a smile.

"My sister is here."

He pursed his lips, got up, and bowed slightly.

Mei Niang snorted, turned her head slowly, and whispered to the Yu sisters to guard the outside, then closed the door alone, walked to the side and sat down, and then watched Ryan slowly sit down.

Ryan nodded, smiled, reached out and took the pot, poured two glasses of wine, and served a glass to Mei Niang, and also held a cup in front of him and said, "But it's faster than Ryan thought." ”

Mei Niang was silent, but she didn't touch the wine, and after a while, she whispered, "Why?" ”

"Since my sister is here, she still has to ask why?"

"They have no grudge against you."

"But they are unkind and unjust to their sisters. For Ryan, this is the biggest grudge. Ryan smiled: "Actually, my sister thinks that all this is what the Lord instructed Ryan to do?" ”

He shook his head, "No, it's not. The Lord wanted to send them away with his own hands. It was Ryan who robbed the errand - snatched it from his brother. ”
