Chapter 241: Things Are Human
"Please go to the side hall and wait, I'll come later."
After Luo Mi left, Ye Luoli looked at the empty door in distraction, and after a while, she sighed and walked out of the door.
"Miss, that's him."
Luo Mi pointed to a gray-haired old man in the side hall and whispered.
Ye Luoli looked through the screen, a ragged Taoist, thin cheeks, high raised cheekbones, wrinkled eyelids, sitting upright on the chair, a snow-white whisk in his hand in the crook of his arm, looking like a down-and-out charlatan.
"May I ask what the chief is?"
Ye Luoli came to the Taoist, hugged his fists, and asked politely.
The Taoist who heard the voice opened his eyes leisurely, and his gaze swept Ye Luoli from top to bottom, and his already pale brows were tightly wrinkled together.
Seeing his expression, Ye Luoli was a little puzzled, "Dao Chief? ”
"Is that you offered a bounty to find a girl named Yundie?"
The Taoist said.
"I'm right, may I ask the chief for any news?"
Seeing that the Taoist did not answer his own question, but asked about himself, Ye Luoli was a little unhappy, but he did not have a seizure, and answered patiently.
"Nope."
The Taoist shook off the dust and replied lightly.
Ye Luoli was very angry in her heart, and she didn't have a good seizure, so she had to turn around and tell Luo Mi, "Give the Taoist chief two taels of silver and send off the guests." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Yes, miss."
Luo Mi was also very angry, it was this old man who swore to know the news of Yun Die and she brought him to Ye Luoli, who knew that this old guy would have changed his mind in a blink of an eye, if it weren't for his age, she would have beaten him herself.
"Dao Chief, please."
She made a gesture of invitation to the Taoist.
"Wait!"
The Taoist stood up and said in a deep voice.
Ye Luoli, who was about to step out of the door, stopped, turned around slowly, clenched her fists, and frowned slightly, "What else does the Taoist have to advise?" ”
"I can't talk about advice, but I have something to say to Miss Ye."
After speaking, he glanced to the side, Ye Luoli understood, and motioned for Luo Mi to wait at the door first, and no one was allowed to come in.
"Dao Chief, is there anything you can say now?"
"Little girl, you and that girl surnamed Yun..... Is it from the same place? ”
“......”
***********
In the palace of the Southern Dynasty, Lan Yue and Lan Xing both knelt in the imperial study, while Lan Hongzhen sat on the top with a serious expression, frowning and looking at the two sons below with displeasure, and the hand propped up on the dragon chair tightly grasped the armrest.
On the chair on the side of the lobby, sat the leisurely Gong Chuyue, dressed in a plain dress, but there was no expression on her face.
"Father, please think twice, Erchen said that Erchen doesn't want to be the emperor, besides, Father, you are still alive, why do you ......"
Blue Star was prostrate on the ground, his voice indifferent.
After going around and around, he still returned to the palace confinement, but unfortunately, the woman who said he was going to abduct him disappeared.
Before, he didn't want to be an emperor, and now, he doesn't want to be even more.
Don't you see, does his father also want to leave with his burden?
"Yue'er, what about you?"
Lan Hongzhen looked at Lan Xing's other trembling "son" again.
Since his biological mother Murong Qiuyue was imprisoned in the cold palace, he has lived more carefully and worked harder, just to not be implicated in Murong Qiuyue's affairs.
"Father, the son doesn't dare! Not to mention that the father is still alive, the royal brother is the rightful prince, and the son is just.... It's just ....."
Lan Yue was taken aback, Murong Qiuyue had committed such a big crime, which was enough to connect the nine clans of the Murong family, but for the sake of himself getting the antidote for Lan Hongzhen from his mother, Lan Hongzhen didn't embarrass him anymore.
In Lan Yue's opinion, she just picked up a life for nothing, and even Murong Qiuyue was just imprisoned in the cold palace by Emperor Lan Hongzhen, and she was not allowed to enter and leave at will.
What else would he dare to ask for?
Let him be the crown prince and inherit the throne, he would never dare to think about it.
"Humph! What else would you not dare? ”
Lan Hongzhen let out a cold snort in his nostrils, and his eyes shot into Lan Yue's eyes like a knife, so frightened that he buried his head and kowtowed, "Father's forgiveness!" Erchen ....."?
"Alright! Don't knock, I won't do anything to you! ”
Lan Hongzhen raised his hand to stop him, his eyes were a little gentle, "Say, how can you agree to my request?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare!"
Lan Yue still kowtowed like pounding garlic, and didn't dare to raise her head to look directly into Lan Hongzhen's eyes. He knew that his mother Murong Qiuyue had done so much because she wanted this throne, and he also knew that since ancient times, the most unpredictable thing was the king's heart.
"Father, since you have a choice, the minister will retire."
Without waiting for Lan Hongzhen to speak, Lan Xing kowtowed and stood up, turning around and leaving without looking back.
"Eh, Ah Xing!"
"Look at this kid, cough cough ....." After receiving the white eyes of Gong Chuyue next to him, Lan Hongzhen coughed a little embarrassed, over the years, he has indeed been too dependent on Lan Xing's temperament.
"Well, let him go, after all, I owe him all these years."
Looking at the resolute back outside the hall, so lonely, Lan Hongzhen could only shake his head and sigh.
**********
Prince's Mansion
The once deserted Prince's Mansion is even more deserted, although it is not overgrown with weeds, but there is not even a person guarding the door at the grand gate, only a lazy kitten lying crooked on the threshold to bask in the sun, and from time to time it makes a "meow" sound.
"Your Highness, are you back?"
Blue Star stepped into the gate and walked straight all the way, until he came to the backyard when he met the purple kite and Qingwu who came with water.
Two years ago, Zi Kite and Qing Wu were the ones who were left in the Prince's Mansion by Yun Die, and two years later, they are still staying in the Prince's Mansion, but the master who treated them like relatives and sisters has not heard from them.
"In the future, you don't need to call me Your Highness, just call the master."
"Hmm."
The two maids nodded in unison.
Lan Xing sighed invisibly, and the two little maids in front of him had also grown a lot taller, what about their masters? I don't know what it looks like now.
"Master?"
Seeing that Lan Xing's expression was different, Purple Kite couldn't help but be a little worried, in the past two years, Lan Xing seemed to have changed a lot. Although he was more kind to them, he seemed to have fewer words. Everyone could see that there was a lot of worry in his eyes.
"It's okay, you all get busy."
He waved his hand and told everyone to step back.
In the study, Lan Xing sat down straight in front of the desk, his head leaned back on the chair, his eyes closed tightly, he really felt a little tired.
"Master."
A black figure appeared in front of the desk, with a hood covering his entire face.
"Let's talk about it."
He shifted, his voice tired.
"Concubine Tian has been staying at Prime Minister Tian's house and has not gone out. However, the prime minister's wife seems to be arranging a blind date for her. ”
"Blind date? Hehe. ”
He gave her and the book of departure, and her family immediately arranged a blind date? I guess I heard the news that I was about to become a flat-headed citizen.
"Concubine Feng still lives in Bige, and there is no change."
"Oh? She didn't leave? ”
Lan Xing opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, he was quite surprised, "She didn't take the book with her?" ”
"I accepted it, there were no emotional ups and downs, and I just silently put the book into the bottom of the box."
"Master, this is considered to be accepted, right?"
The shadow asked weakly.
Bluestar nodded and shook again. For this Feng Miaoyu, he has always been unable to see through, living in obscurity in the prince's mansion, not fighting or grabbing, and his sense of existence is extremely low, if it weren't for the monthly housekeeper's account book with Bige's expenses, he wouldn't have remembered that he still had a side concubine in the mansion.
"Go down and keep watching."
"Yes."
After the shadow left, Bluestar closed his eyes again.
In two years, so much has happened. He lost his memory for almost a year. And the woman who said that she wanted to grow old with her son is gone.
"Master, Miss Gongsun is clamoring to see you."
There was a knock outside the door, and Nangong's voice came in.
Here we go again, here we go again!
Lan Xing pinched his eyebrows vigorously, this Gongsun Menghan has to quarrel like this several times a day, either he doesn't eat, he doesn't drink medicine, or he doesn't sleep, in short, like a three-year-old child, he is like sticking to him, asking him to coax him.
If it weren't for the fact that she had broken her feet for himself, he would have wanted to throw her back to ShadowClan.
There is also her child, a child who died before birth, this is also a thorn in Lan Xing's heart, if you want to pull it out, you can't pull it out, don't pull it out, and stab it from time to time, it's uncomfortable.
"Let's go, let's see."
Lan Xing stood up, thought about it, and ordered Nangong to go to the treasury to get a good thousand-year-old ginseng and send it to Mingyue Xuan, where Gongsun Menghan lived.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Mingyue Xuan, he saw Gongsun Menghan's maidservant Xue Yan running out in a hurry, kneeling in front of Lan Xing with a "poof", crying and saying, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please hurry up and see my young lady, she, she vomited a lot of blood!" ”
"Your Highness....."
Without waiting for the snow goose to finish speaking, Lan Xing took Le Nan to bypass the snow goose and strode towards the room where Gongsun Menghan lived.
"Miss... Miss! ”
Snow Goose quickly got up and followed.
"Bang! Bang bang! There was a sound of smashing in Gongsun Menghan's room, accompanied
"Ah Xing? Sing! ”
A woman in a wheelchair with a disheveled hair rushed over, fell in front of Lan Xing with a "bang", hugged his legs, and cried and laughed, "Ah Xing, Ah Xing, you are finally willing to come to see me!" Haha, you've finally come to see me! ”
Lan Xing frowned, helped her up from the ground, and carefully helped her to sit in the wheelchair, and said in a light tone, "Why are you disobedient again?" Didn't you stay in the room and take care of it? ”
After that, he reached out to take the medicine on the table, but his eyes fell on a pool of blood on the ground, frowned fiercely, and said sharply, "What's the matter?" ”
Xue Yan hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "It's Miss, Miss vomited just now after drinking the medicine, not only vomited the medicine, but also vomited blood..."
"Shut up! Who made you speak? ”
Gongsun Menghan stopped Xue Yan sharply, and hurriedly grabbed Lan Xing's sleeve to explain, "Ah Xing, don't listen to her, she is talking nonsense, that's not my blood, that's.... It's just the brown sugar water I accidentally spilled just now. ”
Watching her flicker, a sneer crossed the corner of Lan Xing's lips, and it was fleeting.
He picked up the medicine bowl and squatted down in front of Gongsun Menghan's chair, and his tone was much softer, "Menghan is good, you have to drink the medicine obediently, so that your legs can heal, be obedient, drink the medicine obediently, right?" ”
Gongsun Menghan looked at the bowl of black soup handed to her, the look of horror in her eyes suddenly appeared, she shook her head anxiously, and refused, "Ah Xing, I... I don't drink. ”
"Why?"
"Ah Xing, it's so bitter, this medicine is so bitter! I don't drink, I don't drink! ”
Gongsun Menghan shook his head while holding the wheelchair back.
