In fact, Long Xiyue and Hu Xiaotian had already passed through the Cloud Temple on their way to Lingxiao Palace just now, and Hu Xiaotian had made a judgment from this familiar sandalwood fragrance, and he still blindfolded them on the way back. Long Xiyue made a request to go to the Cloud Temple to offer incense, and the guards who escorted them were allowed to report it.

The cloud temple is not big, there are only three rooms, the courtyard is also very narrow, there is only one osmanthus tree planted in the courtyard, and now the osmanthus tree has completely withered, only bare branches remain, like an old man who has been stripped naked, standing in the cold wind.

There is a statue of Buddha on the main hall, the side hall on both sides, there is a tablet of a concubine, a few years before Long Xuan'en abdicated, he was addicted to the practice of immortality, away from the harem concubines, there were no new people in the palace for five years, and many concubines died depressed in these five years, including Long Xiyue's mother Li Guifei, to Long Yelin's successful usurpation, many concubines were killed in this coup, and many were dismissed from the palace by him, so when the old emperor was placed under house arrest in the Lingxiao Palace of the Ethereal Mountain, there was no concubine around him. Originally, there were two palace maids who came with him, but later he somehow angered the emperor, and he was strangled to death in Lingxiao Palace, and since then only the loyal old eunuch Wang Qian has been left to serve by his side.

Long Xuanen was forced to abdicate and became the emperor, he made two requests, one is to bring his own dragon chair over, and the other is to build a small temple on the top of the ethereal mountain, he can chant scriptures and chant Buddha on weekdays, and by the way, he will surpass the souls of the people around him in the past.

Long Yelin satisfied his father's request, the dragon chair has been sat on by Long Xuanen for decades, and it has long been outdated, since he is a new monarch, he has to have a new atmosphere, and change to a bigger and more comfortable dragon chair. However, before sending the old chair up the mountain, Ji Feihua also asked the craftsman to disassemble the dragon chair. It is called convenient transportation, but in fact, he was afraid that the old emperor had hidden some treasure in it, so he carefully checked it, and finally proved that there was no mystery in this dragon chair, so it was sent up the mountain.

As for this small temple, it can be regarded as the only new house on the Ethereal Mountain, and at first there was only the Buddha statue in the main hall. But later, the old emperor carved the tablet by himself when he had nothing to do, there were dead concubines, there were dead princes and grandsons, and most of the time passed, and the huts on both sides of the hall were full. The common feature of these tablets is that all of them died at the hands of the old emperor.

Emperor Long Xuan'en carved tablets for these people, firstly, to pass the lonely time on the top of the mountain, and secondly, in a sense, it also has the meaning of atonement.

Hu Xiaotian helped Long Xiyue find the one that belonged to Li Guifei in the many tablets, and Long Xiyue knelt down in front of her mother's tablet. Thinking of his mother's voice and smile in the past, and then thinking of what happened to his father just now, he suddenly couldn't cry.

Hu Xiaotian had no intention of disturbing her remembrance of her deceased mother, so she quietly retreated and went to another side hall to check the spiritual positions placed one by one, if these concubines died in the hands of Long Xuanen, then the hands of the emperor were really stained with blood. Except for the spirit cards. There are still a lot of portrait paintings hanging on the four walls of the room, and the old emperor is good at the art of danqing. Calligraphy and painting are unique, Hu Xiaotian's eyes were quickly attracted by the portraits of beautiful women on the wall, and when he saw one of them, he couldn't help but be taken aback, the beauty on the portrait stood barefoot on the water, plump, like a Lingbo fairy. Smile and look forward to it. What surprised Hu Xiaotian was not her beauty, but that the beauty looked very familiar, and her facial features and eyebrows looked like a little princess Qiqi.

Hu Xiaotian dared to conclude that the painting on this painting was by no means Qiqi, and the beauties in the painting were obviously more mature than Qiqi. The figure is plump, round and jade, but Qiqi is not green and astringent, Hu Xiaotian raised the lantern and looked through the light, but saw that the woman's name was written on it - Jia Zi.

Hu Xiaotian had never heard of this name, the more he looked at the portrait, the more he felt that it was similar to Qiqi, Hu Xiaotian searched for the tablet in the room, and finally found a tablet named Ling Jiazi, which said the time of her birth and death, and it was a coincidence that the death day of this person was actually the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, tomorrow. Ling Jiazi's life was not long, he only lived to be twenty-one years old, and died thirteen years ago, even if he lived to the present, he would be thirty-four years old. Reminiscent of Qiqi's age, this girl and Qiqi are not mother-daughter relationships?

Hu Xiaotian firmly remembered the birth and death years of the woman in his heart, among these portraits, only Ling Jiazi's portrait was the most attentive, a painter's work of heart, must have poured deep feelings into it, although Hu Xiaotian didn't know what the relationship between the old emperor and Ling Jiazi was, but he could see from the portrait alone that Long Xuanen had a deep affection for Ling Jiazi in the portrait, and he was very affectionate, so he could focus on painting, and the effort and effort spent on this painting were obviously different from other portraits.

Returning to Long Xiyue's side, seeing that Long Xiyue's beautiful eyes were already red and swollen from crying, Hu Xiaotian comforted from the side: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the deceased has passed away, I think if the concubine Niangniang has a spirit in the sky, she doesn't want to see you so sad, only if you live happily and happily, can you comfort her spirit in the sky." ”

Long Xiyue hummed, took the handkerchief handed by Hu Xiaotian and wiped away the tears on her face, and twitched her nose and said, "I should go too." ”

Hu Xiaotian accompanied Long Xiyue out of the Cloud Temple, and the two guards guarding the door still blindfolded them before taking them to the hanging basket.

When you get to the bottom of the mountain, you need to go to the bath to bathe and change your clothes. This was to prevent them from bringing things down from the mountain, and the inspection of Hu Xiaotian this time was obviously not as strict as just now, and Murong Zhan did not personally accompany him.

Hu Xiaotian only realized at this time that the effect of lifting yin and shrinking yang this time seemed to be relatively long-lasting, until now there was no sign of showing his head at the root of his life, and he couldn't help but sneak a handful when he changed his clothes, although there were traces to follow, but he was still a turtle with a shrunken head, and he couldn't help but feel worried, although he had practiced this kung fu for a long time, it was the first time that it really came in handy, and this kung fu was called lifting yin and shrinking yang, when Quan De'an taught him, he only taught him to shrink in, but he didn't tell him how to stand out again, thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian began to be a little scared.

After changing his clothes and coming outside, he saw Murong Zhan standing quietly in front of the dock, so he walked over slowly, what Murong Zhan did today was obviously aimed at himself, and all kinds of signs showed that this person even suspected his identity as a eunuch.

Murong Zhan still didn't have the slightest smile on Bai Sensen's face, and said in a low voice: "How does Gonggong Hu feel?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "It's really comfortable to take a hot bath." ”

Murong Zhan nodded and said, "If Gonggong Hu likes it, he can often come here to take a bath in the future." ”

Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded in his heart, you are so boring to be Lao Tzu, but there is a harmless smile on his face: "Thank you Commander Murong for your kindness, but it is too depressing here, which makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts." ”

Murong Zhan said: "It's the same here as the rest of the palace, I think it's because of Gonggong Hu's own mood." ”

Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Commander Murong said very well, the most important thing in being a man is to be open. ”

Murong Zhan's gray pupils looked at Hu Xiaotian indifferently and said, "I suddenly forgot, I haven't had time to congratulate Grandpa Hu on his ascension." ”

Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Where is the ascension, Xiaotian is still somewhat self-aware, in the palace, no matter how beautiful he is, he is always a slave, and every qiē we are given by the emperor, don't you say?" ”

Murong Zhan heard that there was something in his words, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Grandpa Hu is young, it is rare to see things so thoroughly. ”

Hu Xiaotian didn't dare to be, there were too many confusing characters in this palace, there were too many characters that he couldn't see through, Murong Zhan was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and until now he couldn't figure out which camp this person belonged to. Judging from this person's difficulties with him tonight, it is normal for Murong Feiyan not to recognize her as a father, and there is no human touch at all, even if you are not your future son-in-law, you are also your daughter's friend who shares weal and woe, so you shouldn't make things difficult for me. Since you have been unkind to me, do not blame me for being unjust to you in the future.

Back at the Zilan Palace, the group of palace maids and eunuchs had already prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Long Xiyue obviously seemed depressed because of tonight's trip, and just left the table alone after a few bites.

Hu Xiaotian followed Long Xiyue and left, seeing her standing alone in the courtyard looking in the direction of Qifu Palace, faintly the sound of drum music came from there, tonight is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor banqueted hundreds of officials in Qifu Palace, it can be imagined that at this moment, there must be a staggered scene, singing and dancing, a lively and extraordinary scene.

Long Xiyue tightened the cloak on her body, but she felt more and more lonely in her heart, the sky in the distance was bright and clear from time to time, and the sound of firecrackers was heard, maybe every family was busy getting together on Chinese New Year's Eve. The more in this kind of family reunion, Long Xiyue's state of mind feels more and more lonely, after the New Year, it won't be long before she will embark on the journey and marry Dayong, this time next year, she should already be in a foreign land, I wonder if anyone will think of herself at that time? Worried about yourself? Long Xiyue sighed softly, in fact, even if she stayed by Dakang's side, she had no relatives, her mother died, her father was crazy, she never felt any father's love from him, and her brother was now trapped in Xizhou. She was left alone, lonely.

Hu Xiaotian's voice sounded behind him: "On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole country celebrates, the princess is alone, standing alone, I don't know what troubles I have in my heart, whether I am willing to say it and share it with Xiaotian." ”

Long Xiyue turned to look at him, and there was finally a smile on the corner of her lips, Hu Xiaotian's preservation made her feel warm and down-to-earth, but Long Xiyue didn't think that the person in front of her could change her fate, although Hu Xiaotian said many times that she wanted to save her from fire and water, Long Xiyue also had a short expectation, but her reason quickly told herself that it was impossible to escape the arrangement of fate and run towards a free life, so why did she bother to take risks for herself.
