The location of the guest house in Su Mansion is quiet and secluded, and Su Wan instructed the people in the mansion not to disturb at will, except for a few people who wait, few people set foot in it. Recently, there was nothing to do in the shop, and because he was not very comfortable and needed to recuperate, he was instructed by Su Wan not to go out at will, so Xie Yaoguang was also happy to be idle, and he was reading books and tuning the piano in the courtyard for several days, so it was not comfortable.

That day, Su Qing came down early and returned to the mansion. When you go down the corridor to the side yard, it coincides with a cluster of roses blooming in full bloom and fragrant. Su Qinglin couldn't help but stop and look for a while to feel the rich aroma. At this time, there is a wisp of piano sound through the pink wall and tiles falling into the ears, although it is not real to hear because of the distance, but because the sound of the piano is ethereal and pleasant, as if there is a kind of soul cleansing spirit. Su Qinglin couldn't help but listen attentively, and after asking four times to no avail, the steps under his feet seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, and he walked towards the sound of the piano step by step.

When I caught a glimpse of Su Qinglin's figure. The corners of Xie Yaoguang's lips hooked slightly, and then the end of the song was raised, and the song ended.

Su Qinglin woke up from his trance and looked at Xie Yaoguang with a smile on his face, and said after stabilizing his mind: "I didn't expect Miss Xie to be so superb in piano skills."

knew that Su Qinglin meant something. Xie Yaoguang chuckled: "The skill of the micro end makes the Hou Ye laugh"

The sunlight sprinkled mottled light and shadow through the gaps between the leaves and fell on Xie Yaoguang's face, swaying and dancing on her face, making the smile extraordinarily vivid.

"It seems that Miss Xie has been in good health recently, if you have any needs in the house, you don't have to be too restrained" Su Qinglin carefully looked at Xie Yaoguang and said: "Wan'er praises you in front of me, she is spoiled by me, I hope Miss Xie can teach her well."

"Master Hou is polite, thanks to Wan'er's care, my health has been really good recently, and Wan'er and I can't talk about anything to teach or not."

"Well, it's really good for Wan'er to have a friend like you. Miss Xie has a good rest."

He shook his head and sent Su Qinglin away. Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Xie Yaoguang raised his head and his gaze fell on the blooming rose next to the courtyard gate, and the killing intent in his eyes became more and more profound. Just as he was thinking deeply, he suddenly heard Su Wan's voice coming from outside the courtyard, Xie Yaoguang took away his killing intent and changed into a smiling appearance to face Su Wan.

"Wan'er is here, you look like you're in a good mood today?" Bringing Su Wan to sit down, he asked.

"Well, today's polo was a lot of fun. Yaoyao, let me tell you......" Su Wan talked about all kinds of interesting anecdotes he saw on the hunt with great interest.

Su Wan spoke very well, and Xie Yaoguang was also amused by her and smiled.

"Alas, it's a pity that Yaoyao, you're not in good health, otherwise I would have taken you to play polo," Su Wan looked at Xie Yaoguang with regret, sighed lightly, suddenly paused, as if remembering something, clapped his hands and smiled: "Look, I'm almost done with this stubble, there is a vegetarian feast in Hanshan Temple tomorrow." It tastes so good, we can go together."

Hanshan Temple? Xie Yaoguang heard this, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he faintly revealed a hint of coldness, and smiled lightly on his face: "Well, it's good to go out for a walk." I have also heard of the vegetarian feast in Hanshan Temple."

The two agreed on a time. Su Wan was afraid that Xie Yaoguang would inevitably be lonely and boring all the way, and after leaving the guest house, he sent someone to inform Xu Tianyue and Xiao Lingyu to go to Hanshan Temple together tomorrow. In the guest house, after Su Wan left, Xie Yaoguang set up a chess game, playing with himself with one hand and one son, frowning and thinking from time to time. When the last son settled, Xie Yaoguang narrowed his eyes to hide the surging emotions, and opened his lips and said, "Tell someone to go to Hanshan Temple to prepare."

"Whoa"

The next day, Xie Yaoguang and Su Wan took her two close friends to Hanshan Temple under Su Yu's escort. Starting from the West Gate, you can walk up to Hanshan Temple in about a stick of incense. These people are all lively, and they don't feel bored along the way. Because it is Hanshan Temple's vegetarian feast, there is an endless stream of cars and horses along the way, and pedestrians are weaving, so the group did not arrive at Hanshan Temple until noon.

The long bluestone steps winding and circling, and from a distance, it seems that you can see the incense sandalwood in front of the temple curling into the blue sky. As the group climbed the stairs and went up the main gate of Hanshan Temple, Yu approached, and the smell of sandalwood became more and more intense. Xie Yaoguang stopped in front of the temple gate and looked back at everything that had been trampled underfoot, and the corners of his lips pulled out a trace of arc.

"Are you a few donors of the Su family?" The little novice hesitated for a moment before he stepped forward with his hands folded and saluted.

"Your master asked you to come?"

"Yes...... Master said let me take a few female donors to offer incense first. He said...... Said," said the little novice, suddenly his face turned red, his ears turned red, and he scratched his head embarrassedly and whispered: "There is a noble person among the female benefactors."

"Since the Zen master said that there are nobles, there must be real nobles, Sister Wan, go quickly. I'll go to the back mountain first" After finishing speaking, Su Yu drove to the back mountain.

The rest of Su Wan led a group of maids to the main hall under the guidance of Xiao Shami. The main hall is naturally magnificent, and the pilgrims who come to visit walk through the hall, or kneel or bow down, are full of piety. Xie Yaoguang looked up at the tall and majestic Buddha statue in the hall, and sneered, if there is really a god and Buddha, why can't he fulfill his wish.

"Master Su Shi" heard that the Zen master was facing Su Wan and his party, his hands folded and saluted, and his eyes involuntarily turned to Xie Yaoguang, who looked indifferent, and said slowly: "It turns out that the poor monk has never been mistaken, and the temple is suddenly full of energy, and there are really nobles coming."

"Noble? Master, what are you talking about......" Su Wan swept over everyone's faces suspiciously, and his eyes naturally fell on Xie Yaoguang's face, and he smiled: "Could it be that this noble person is Yaoyao?"

"The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it" The Zen master chuckled at Xie Yaoguang's scrutinizing gaze: "A few donors came with the poor monks"

The group followed Zen Master Wen to a small Buddha hall and handed the lottery holder to Su Wan, and said warmly: "As usual, you can draw another lot today, which donor comes?"

"Yaoyao, it's rare for you to come to Gusu." Su Wan handed the lottery holder in his hand to Xie Yaoguang.

Xie Yaoguang took a deep look at Zen Master Wen, took the head of the lottery, bowed respectfully to the Buddha statue, shook the lot three times, picked up the slip that fell from the holder, and handed it to Zen Master Wen. The moment the Zen master saw the signing, it was like the ancient well's waveless eyes cracking in an instant.

"Master, what did Yaoyao draw?"

"It seems that the donor is not only a noble person but also a destined person" Zen Master Wen took a deep breath and said: "The poor monk has not seen this imperial swallow sign for a long time."

Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at Zen Master: "What's so special about this sign?"

"The phoenix is as ordered, it is unspeakably expensive, and it is ...... can win the world" Wen Zen Master looked at Xie Yaoguang deeply, and his eyes swept over several other people: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the donor is invited to come to the back hall with the poor monk, the poor monk has something to say."

Su Wan and the others heard the criticism of the Zen master, their faces all changed in unison, and they looked at Xie Yaoguang, who was still calm, and after thinking about it carefully, they led people out of the Buddhist hall. There are really words that they can't hear.

"What do you think about the Zen master?"

"Amitabha. Everything has cause and effect, and the poor monk was rescued by Taifu Gu to have his current status, and now he has the grace to save his life. It's just that...... The poor monk still wants to persuade the donor, "Wen Zen Master folded his hands and said, "The donor can escape from death, it is the favor of God, why should the donor be obsessed with the past and go back to this troubled water?"

Xie Yaoguang sneered, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "Let go of your obsession? I heard what the Zen master said about lightness, how do you want me to put it? How to put? The day is not clear, and the deep injustice is not snowed. Why can they live in peace, while those innocent people can only sleep with grievances! The living can forget everything, but the dead will not" Hearing the coldness of the Zen master: "There are some things that the master is destined to grit his teeth and carry to the end."

The tone of his eyes and sleeves was resolute.

The Zen master took a deep breath and stopped answering. When he was rescued by Taifu Gu, he owed the Gu family a favor and wanted to repay it again, but when the Gu family was involved in the case of King Qin, he was sentenced all over the house. He set up a private mourning hall in the temple to burn incense and pray day and night, wishing the Buddha to bless the Gu family with a smooth future life. After many years, Zen Master Liwen finally met the person who came to collect debts with the seal of the Gu family last night. The other party only told him that the old man came to the door only for a promise, and hoped that the master would fulfill his promise. After that, he was handed a letter and asked him to do what the letter said: "Prepare a lottery holder full of imperial swallow signatures, and the distinguished guests who come to the door tomorrow will draw the imperial swallow signatures." You have to say that she is a phoenix according to her fate, it is unspeakably expensive, and she can win the world if she gets it."

"There is still one thing that Zen Master Wen needs your help with, and after the matter is completed, you and the Gu family do not owe each other."

"The donor said that it doesn't matter, the cause and effect of the poor monk should be borne by the poor monk."

"I want that to be passed on by word of mouth...... The bigger the trouble, the better" Xie Yao glanced at the smiling Buddha statue and sneered: "It's best to let the palace know"

"Good"

got the answer he wanted, Xie Yaoguang stepped out of the Buddhist hall. Just as she boasted about the door of the Buddha hall, the Zen master whispered, I hope the donor will not regret it in the future. Looking back at the Zen master who was chanting Buddha with his eyes closed, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. Regret? She doesn't know if she will regret it in her next life, but she won't regret it in this life. Since she was blessed by heaven and was able to escape death, she would not run away from everything. She wants to seek justice for the dead and avenge their grievances.

Su Wan saw Xie Yaoguang come out and walked slowly, took Xie Yaoguang's hand and said warmly: "Yaoyao, the second brother sent someone to spread the word that the vegetarian food in the backyard has been prepared, and he wants us to go quickly."

Seeing that Su Wan didn't mention the matter of the emperor's swallow sign, Xie Yaoguang pulled his lips and smiled. grabbed Su Wan's hand and walked to the backyard together. Leaving Xu Tianyue and Xiao Lingyu looking at each other, Xu Tianyue looked at the backs of the two of them and sighed slightly. Hearing the Zen master's criticism, it is really interesting: "The phoenix is according to its fate, it is unspeakably expensive, and it can win the world", you must know that now the prince and the king of Shou both have concubines...... How can there be another woman with a phoenix according to her orders to enter the house.

In the backyard, Su Yu had already ordered someone to set up the vegetarian meal, and when he saw Su Wan and his party coming, he greeted him with a smile, but his eyes fell on Xie Yao's face. Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and smiled at Su Yu, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

"What are you looking at me like this?"

"I'm really sorry, I just suddenly received a message from King Shou saying that I have something important to discuss, I'm afraid I have to go first" Su Yu apologized to a few people with an apologetic face, turned around and left with the servants.

Xie Yaoguang stared at Su Yu's departing back and hooked the corners of his lips. She knew very well that the purpose of Su Yu's hurried departure was to go back and report to King Shou, so as to take the lead. It is also interesting to say, Su Qinglin and Su Jue, father and son, did not choose which party, but let Su Yu choose King Shou as the king...... Thinking of this, she sneered, she really didn't believe that Su Qinglin would be a neutral faction. Sooner or later, he will have to make a choice between the crown prince and the king of Shou.

Just like it did back then.

Seeing that it was moving westward and that it was boring to play in the temple for half a day, several people immediately returned to the city. When I came back, it was close to the time of the lantern, but at this moment, the atmosphere at the gate of the Su Mansion was extremely serious, and several guards in disguise were guarding the gate of the mansion. Xie Yaoguang lifted the curtain slightly, stared at it for a while, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly, it seemed that the nobles in the palace had been trusted.

Su Wan looked at the stern-looking guards at the door suspiciously, and then jumped out of the carriage and was dragged aside by Su Yu, who was going out.

"You tell Miss Xie to clean up quickly, the nobles in the palace want to see her"

"Which noble person put on such a big posture to see Yaoyao" Su Wan couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Second brother, I don't know what your position is!" Anyway, if my father and eldest brother don't talk about you, I naturally won't talk about you. But Yaoyao, she has nothing to do with the situation between the DPRK and China! Why do you have to get involved with her?"

"Sister Wan, you are confused! In the past, she could say that she had nothing to do with the situation in the DPRK and China, but now that she has won the Imperial Yan lot, you and I should be clear that Master Wen's comments have never been wrong," Su took a deep breath and sighed: "Sister Wan, I know you care about Miss Xie, but now the situation is different. She must go to see that noble man today."

During the dispute, Xie Yaoguang had already lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage and walked slowly to the side of the brother and sister, and said with open lips: "Wan'er, thank you for your protection." What should come will come, I can't hide. Since it's a noble person from the palace, it's not a good thing for me to avoid it."

"But Yaoyao obviously came to Gusu to recuperate......" Su Wan looked at Xie Yaoguang guiltily. Secretly complained about why he proposed to go to the vegetarian banquet of Hanshan Temple, if he didn't propose it, how could there be so much trouble.

"Miss Xie is an understanding person......"

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang's gaze swept over Su Yu's body, and the corner of his mouth pulled out an extremely sarcastic smile, and then sneered and slowly stepped into the mansion. In the main hall sat a richly dressed woman in palace clothes, and on each side stood two maidservants. Gazing at it carefully, his eyes were quite playful, looking at the posture, the person who came was not the queen, nor was he Concubine Rong, but he must be a person with a pivotal identity.

"People's girl Xie Yaoguang, I don't know who this noble person is?"

"Miss Xie? Sure enough, he was born well" The person who came looked at Xie Yaoguang carefully and said slowly: "The old man's surname is Li, and the female official next to the queen's mother came to visit Miss Xie on the order of Yi."

"Aunt Li is polite, Xie Yaoguang is just an ordinary person" Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and looked at Aunt Li with a smile: "Where can I make the queen miss me?"

"Miss Xie is humble, and the Xie family in Luoyang is really well-educated. Thinking that the queen mother will definitely be satisfied with Miss Xie," Aunt Li looked at Xie Yaoguang meaningfully and said softly: "I hope Miss Xie will not live up to Miss Xie's wishes."

Xie Yaoguang stared at his eyes and smiled slightly, and said with a slight smile: "The statement of criticism is absolutely not credible..."

Aunt Li looked at Xie Yaoguang in astonishment, and suddenly felt a coldness hit her whole body. Trying to stabilize his mind, he smiled lightly at Xie Yaoguang, and slowly walked out of the main hall.

What a great girl.

As soon as Aunt Li left, Xie Yaoguang immediately returned to the guest house, and happened to meet Su Jue on the way back. The two nodded politely and signaled that they passed by, and what Xie Yaoguang didn't notice was that Su Jue was holding a letter in his hand.

Inside the study at the moment. Su Qinglin paced around the room with his hands behind his back. Su Jue stood behind him without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something. The candle flame in the room flickered and cast a dancing light and shadow on the screen.

"Good news? Xie Yaoguang really drew the Imperial Swallow Lottery?" Su Qinglin stopped and looked back and asked Su Jue.

"Yes, I intercepted the news from the second brother's side first. The letter said that the phoenix is as ordered, it is unspeakably expensive, and if you get it, you can win the world," Su Jue replied in a deep voice.

Su Qinglin sneered coldly and looked at the moon outside the window: "How about the things I asked you to check?" What is Xie Yaoguang's identity?"

"Our spies have already gone to check, it is indeed Miss Yan of the Xie family in Luoyang" Su Jue handed the letter in his hand to Su Qinglin and said, "Father, please see"

Su Qinglin took the letter and flipped through it. The letter investigated Xie Yaoguang's life experience in great detail, born in the Xie family in Luoyang, and was the daughter of the Xie family. Since childhood, he has been frail and sickly, and at the age of twelve, he went to southern Yunnan with his brother to seek divine healing. Thirteen returned to the Xie family and then followed his father to Beijing to take over the Gusu business...... Raising his hand to put the letter on the candle, seeing that the tongue of fire gradually engulfed the letter, the corner of Su Qinglin's mouth hooked a playful smile. It doesn't matter if Emperor Yan's comments are true or not, so why don't you care if she is Xie Yaoguang or not, as long as she enters this capital, everything doesn't matter......

In the guest house, Su Wan finally took Su Wan's hand with a smile on his face when he saw Xie Yaoguang come back, and said with concern: "Yaoyao, they didn't embarrass you, they blame me for not being good, so I shouldn't have taken you to the vegetarian feast."

"Wan'er, I don't blame you. Since I drew the Imperial Swallow lot, I should have thought that there would be these unavoidable troubles, how can I blame you. Besides, there are many people, and this kind of thing will inevitably not spread out," Xie Yaoguang smiled lightly, nodded Su Wan's forehead, and said: "Let's eat first, you will be tired after a day of playing outside, and rest early after eating."

After dinner. Su Wan accompanied Xie Yaoguang to play a game for a while, and then told Xie Yaoguang to rest before resigning to Xie Yaoguang. Seeing Su Wan leave, Xie Yaoguang sighed and muttered softly.

"Alas, Su Wan's temperament really makes me a little unbearable"

She was really speechless about Su Wan's protection. She had long expected that the palace would inevitably send someone to come to the door to investigate the situation when she knew that she had drawn the emperor's swallow lot, but what she didn't expect was that Su Wan would protect herself like this, and this affection really made people don't know how to respond. It's just a pity that her business is always going to use Su Wan...... Close your eyes to hide the emotions that are surging in your eyes, some things are destined to be sacrificed.

The queen of the palace listened to Aunt Li's relay of Xie Yaoguang's words, sneered, and played with the jade bracelet on her wrist: "She really answered like that?"

"Back to the queen, that's exactly what she said"

"I don't know what to do," the queen glanced at the palace maid on the side and said, "What is the movement on Concubine Rong's side?"

"No, Concubine Rong just passed on the princess to enter the palace today."

"Jing'er, what do you think of Xie Yaoguang," the queen smiled and looked at King Shou on the side and said in a warm voice.

"Queen Mother, in a few days, the lord of Jingning County, Fengtai, will choose his son-in-law to meet Xie Yaoguang in person, and the child thinks that Xie Yaoguang is a little interesting" King Shou squinted his eyes and chuckled: "The four words of Phoenix according to the order alone can't let the prince seize the opportunity"

The phoenix is as ordered, and it is unspeakably expensive. If such a person cannot be his own, he will be killed.
