"This Pear Flower Village is really not a big village, and it will come to an end in a few steps." Gao Lan sighed.

Yeyang nodded: "This is the junction of the two towns before and after, not far from both sides, so out of the original residents, the others have gone to the big town." ”

Gao Lan and Yeyang didn't delay much after eating, and then got on the horse and hurried away.

"The road we took this time was to take the nearest route, and we should be able to reach Yuekakuji Temple in a few days." Yeyang was afraid that Gao Lan would be in a hurry, so he explained widely.

Gao Lan said: "I hope so, as long as there is nothing extraneous about it." ”

Yeyang disagreed: "What are you afraid of with a person like me who is outside the world, besides, we are all monks now, and we will not cause or cause any wrong." ”

Gao Lan squinted at him, very unbelievable: "That's not necessarily!" ”

Yeyang smiled silently.

Bai Qingqing in the Nine Kings' Mansion didn't wait for Gao Lan's news, so he went into the palace to investigate.

Diligent Palace~

Ding Quan came in and replied: "Your Majesty, the Nine Princes ask to see you." The Nine Princes ...... I don't know what happened to Miss Gao. ”

"Let him in." The emperor flipped through the book and said in a deep voice.

After a while, Bai Qingqing came in quickly and said loudly: "Brother Chen, please say hello to the imperial brother." ”

"Well, get up."

After Bai Qingqing got up, he kept looking around the hall.

"What are you looking for?" The emperor pretended to ask.

Bai Qingqing straightened his body and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, that, have you seen Gao Lan?" ”

The emperor continued to stare at the book in his hand, and said leisurely: "I see it." ”

"And she...... What about people? Bai Qingqing asked.

The emperor remained silent: "Let's go." ”

"Gone? Where did it go? Bai was stunned.

The emperor raised his head and looked at his expression, looking at his unexpected appearance, thinking that he really didn't know about Gao Lan.

So he motioned to Ding Quan next to him to speak.

Ding Quan understood: "Back to the Ninth Prince, after Gao Lan came to see the emperor, he left." ”

Bai Qingqing had some doubts in her heart, so she asked tentatively: "Then the imperial brother really let her go like this?" ”

"What words! I have always given her the greatest freedom to that girl, and she will leave naturally if she wants to. The emperor glared and put down the book.

Bai Qingqing thought that the imperial brother should not lie to him, so he hurriedly prepared to retire.

The emperor hurriedly said: "Slow! ”

After speaking, he got up from behind the desk and slowly paced out, with a solemn expression, and said in a slightly deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, I know that you have a deep friendship with Gao Lan's girl, but they are both adults, and you want to open up when you encounter something." ”

The emperor's words made Bai Qingqing confused: "Brother Huang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ding Quan on the side lamented: "After Miss Gao left the palace that day, she lived in the Qizhai Restaurant in the capital......"

Bai Qingqing's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Qizhai Restaurant? Isn't that the home that just burned down in the fire?! ”

Ding Quan frowned and nodded.

Bai Qingqing's face was flustered, he looked at the emperor, and hesitated: "Brother Huang, this ......"

"Xiao Jiu, this is true. I went to see it myself, and I didn't even recognize the girl's body. The emperor said to hold his forehead and mourn.

Bai Qingqing's whole body trembled, and a thunderbolt flashed in his heart, and his hands trembled unconsciously: "How can this be?!" ”

"No, it won't! I don't believe it," Bai Qingqing said, turning his head and running outside, his tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Hey, the Ninth Prince—" Ding Quan shouted from behind.

"Forget it, let him go. Go and inform Zhong Ling. The emperor sighed.

As he ran, he recalled the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Gao Lan from the beginning, and so many happy pictures appeared cruelly in his mind...... How happy it was in the past, how sad it is now.

Bai Qingqing ran to the Qizhai Restaurant in one breath, until he saw the ruins with his own eyes...... His heart went blank for a moment, and he squatted in place, holding his head in his hands, and wailing.

At this time, it was raining in the sky, and he crouched in the heavy rain, allowing the rain to pour himself through.

"Little Lanlan, are you leaving like this!" Bai lightly raised his head to the sky and roared.

He carried many bottles of wine and went to the place where the body was buried.

There are so many graves, and I don't know which one is Gao Lan.

Bai Qingqing's eyes were full of injuries, he sat on the muddy ground, and said loudly: "Come, Xiao Lanlan, I'm Bai Qingqing to drink with you again." Just like we did before, at Feng Laiyi's restaurant, we drank heavily on the moon. He said with tears streaming down his face.

Until the rain overhead suddenly stopped.

He looked up and saw a large umbrella propped up on it.

Bai Qingqing looked back and saw that it was Zhong Ling.

His eyes drooped, like a wounded child, very sad and aggrieved: "Zhong Ling, Xiao Lanlan is gone......" After he finished speaking, his eyes closed, and a line of hot tears flowed out.

Zhong Ling looked at him with such a sad appearance, and her eyes were full of distress.

Then Bai Qingqing suddenly smiled bitterly and pointed to the front: "Xiao Lanlan is lying there, I can't even recognize which one is her." ”

Bai Qingqing held the wine bottle, struggled to get up, his body staggered, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked forward, and after a moment, he stumbled under his feet, and he suddenly fell into the muddy water.

He pounded the ground with his hands and howled like crazy: "Ahhh

Zhong Ling just frowned and watched, but did not stop. He knew that he didn't have any power to alleviate his pain over the loss of Gao Lan. All he can do now is let him vent his pain.

Zhong Ling took the drunken Bai Qingqing back to the Nine Kings' Mansion, changed into clean clothes, and settled him down.

When Shisu heard all this, he didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it for a long time

Zi Su was very puzzled: "Gao Lan is gone like this?!" Not even a single body was found, which ...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a brilliant plan for the golden cicada to come out of its shell. ”

Zhong Ling asked with a gloomy face: "You mean that Gao Lan planned all this in order to make the emperor die?" After Zhong Ling asked, she shook her head again, "No, Gao Lan would not have murdered so many innocent lives." ”

Zi Su pondered for a moment and said, "Gao Lan's kung fu is so high, and she has supreme light skills, if it is an ordinary fire, she can't escape." I always feel that something is wrong, and this fire is too coincidental. ”

Hearing his suspicions, Zhong Ling pondered for a moment: "What you said makes sense, and besides, why didn't she come here when she left the palace that day, but wanted to live in a restaurant, what did she say to the emperor at that time?" We don't know any of this. ”

Zi Su looked into the room: "Alas, it's been one thing after another lately, and Bai Qingqing is sad enough." Looking at his decadent appearance, I don't know how long he will be able to recover this time. ”

Thinking of Bai Qingqing, Zhong Ling's brows frowned deeper and deeper: "Gao Lan has a very deep friendship with his brother, this time, I'm afraid it's ......"
