"Father-in-law." Seeing Liang Qi'an appear at the entrance of the cave, Ah Jin hurriedly greeted him, "How is Senior Sister?" What about my master? ”

Liang Qi'an looked at Ah Jin, who was looking forward to the answer, and lovingly reached out and touched her soft bun, "Father-in-law is a little thirsty and wants to drink the tea soup you made." Let's go and sit in the pavilion for a while. ”

"Okay," Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little sluggishly. Although the stepfather didn't say anything, his performance made Ah Jin feel that the situation in the cave was not optimistic.

As soon as the father and daughter came to the pavilion and sat down, Ah Jin began to make tea soup for Liang Qi'an. During this time, no one spoke. The tea soup that can usually be made in a quarter of an hour, this time it took Ah Jin half an hour to complete.

"Father-in-law, please taste." She pushed the obsidian tea bowl containing the tea soup in front of Liang Qi'an.

Liang Qi'an looked down for a long time before holding it with both hands and taking a sip, "Ah Jin, this tea soup has a strong bitter taste, followed by a sweet taste." ”

Ah Jin lowered his eyes and did not argue. She knew that Liang Qi'an was saying that she was absent-minded when she was making this bowl of tea and soup.

Liang Qi'an put down the porcelain bowl and sighed. The reason why the tea soup is bitter is not only because the people who make it are not quiet, but also because of the bitterness in the hearts of the people who taste it. Thinking of the haggard Daiyue during the day, Liang Qi'an's eyes flashed with a look of distress.

"Ah Jin, for my father, I want to take your senior sister and master to the Medicine King Valley. Look, that's good. ”

Ah Jin nodded subconsciously, "Father, don't worry, I will take care of you here, and everything will be fine when you come back...... Senior Sister's Injury ......"

"With me and your master alone, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do." Liang Qi'an sighed, shook his head, and said, "Originally, Liuli's injury could be repaired by the Death Gu. It's just that your master said that the Afterlife Gu was planted on me, and she gave the Afterlife Gu to someone else...... If you want to find something that has the same effect as the Death Gu to save your senior sister's life, the only way to go to the Medicine King Valley is to take a walk. ”

Ah Jin didn't say anything more, and Tongtian Pavilion and Medicine King Valley had been entangled in grievances for many years. If it weren't for the exhaustion of mountains and rivers, Liang Qi'an would not have sent it to the door to be arranged by others. Thinking of this, Ah Jin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It was Liang Qi'an, seeing that Ah Jin was silent, so he reached out and patted her face gently. Ah Jin came back to his senses and looked at him with a puzzled expression. I saw that the other party smiled slightly, as if he didn't pay attention to the difficulties in front of him at all, "Okay, you can also heal yourself when you come back." If you can't protect yourself, don't worry about other things. ”

Hearing this, Ah Jin subconsciously glanced at Liang Qi'an, his face full of helplessness, "Anyway, after you leave, I need to worry about everything up and down the Tongtian Pavilion, what does it matter if there is one more and one less." ”

"Ah Jin." Liang Qi'an laughed, and suddenly, he called her name.

"Do something."

"You're a good daughter and a good sister." As he spoke, Liang Qi'an stretched out his hand again and touched Ah Jin's head.

Ah Jin was a little overwhelmed by this sudden warm words, and she looked at Liang Qi'an blankly. The cute appearance of her daughter relieved Liang Qi'an's heavy mood a little.

"Father-in-law, good and decent, why do you say this?" Ah Jin came back to his senses, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart. Liang Qi'an on weekdays is suave and uninhibited, how can he say such warm words.

"It's fine. It's just that the father-in-law suddenly felt that Ah Jin and Ah Yin had grown up. Father-in-law, he is really old. ”

He whispered. It seems to be an emotion, and it seems to be just stating the facts. Ah Jin looked at him, and suddenly snorted a little. She took a deep breath and tilted her head slightly and opened her eyes wide, not wanting to let the emotions of grief flood and sway her.

When she looked at Liang Qi'an again, it was the calm and calm Tongtian Pavilion girl Liang Jin again, "Father-in-law, if you are so emotional, it is really not suitable for you." Now that you're planning to go to the Medicine King Valley, it's better to get ready first. My daughter is really afraid, the valley master of the Medicine King Valley will not give you face, and will not see you directly. ”

Liang Qi'an touched his nose and did not refute Ah Jin's words, but went on, "Don't say it, it's really possible." ”

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled. The sadness just now seemed to have disappeared with the wind in an instant.

"Ah Jin, will you blame your father-in-law?" Before leaving, Liang Qi'an asked Ah Jin this sentence.

Ah Jin looked at Liang Qi'an suspiciously, seeing that he looked serious, not like a joke. Then he said: "What should Ah Jin blame his father-in-law?" Is it to blame the father-in-law for taking in A-Niang and Ah Jin in the first place, or is it to blame the stepfather for raising Ah Jin as an adult? ”

"Tongtian Pavilion has always been taken care of by you, but the young pavilion master is Ah Yin." This is a question that has been buried in Liang Qi's peace of mind for many years, and he asked it when the time was right today.

Ah Jin tilted his head and thought for a while, then pouted and said, "What's so good about being a young pavilion master." When I go back and wait for you, the old man, to officially pass on the position of pavilion master to Ah Yin, I can go to the game world. But Ah Yin has to be tied up by this Tongtian Pavilion for the rest of his life, and to put it mildly, he is still more miserable. ”

Liang Qi'an listened to her pretended relaxed tone, and his heart was not happy, "Ah Jin, if that kid comes to you, you can go back with him." Here we are, you don't have to worry. ”

Ah Jin's expression was a little stiff, although the person's name Liang Qi'an did not say it, but Ah Jin still felt heartache. She lowered her head and didn't say anything. It turned out that the father-in-law knew everything. As soon as he thought of the book he had written, Ah Jin was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.

What is one part, two wide, each rejoices.

It's just a lie.

If they don't part ways, they don't know who lost their lives for whom in the end. Thinking about it this way, she should make a decision, and it is not bad to maintain the current state.

"No, he won't find it." Ah Jin shook his head and said very firmly: "If he did that, he would not be him." ”

Seeing that Ah Jin answered so categorically, Liang Qi'an didn't say anything more.

……

In Jichang Palace, Zhu Liangxin sat on the cold phoenix seat for a long time, watching the sunrise and sunset outside the window. It had been a long time since she had stepped out of the palace gates, and she knew that perhaps she would never have the opportunity to go out again.

She was thinking like this when the door creaked and was slowly pushed open. The strong light poured in through the open door, making Zhu Liangxin subconsciously squint her eyes, and she vaguely saw someone walking in.

It wasn't until the door was closed again that she could see the man's face.

"You?" The arrival of this uninvited guest was completely unexpected by her, and she watched in surprise as he sat down in front of her before she came back to her senses, "What? Your father asked you to come and see if the palace was still alive? ”

Xiao Zhan smiled when he heard this, looked at Zhu Liangxin and said: "The queen mother is thinking about it, my father has been lingering on the sickbed for a long time, and he is busy chasing the traces of the ninth brother, where do you have the heart to think of Jichang Palace now." ”

"What did you say?" Zhu Liangxin's clasped hands were clenched together, because Xiao Zhan's understatement just now made her whole body tremble slightly, "What ninth brother." I'm afraid that the four princes are not confused, and the nine princes have already died. ”

"Oh? Is it? Xiao Zhan looked at the woman in front of him playfully, and said after a long time: "Doesn't the queen mother know yet?" The identity of the assassin who broke into Zhu's mansion before, right? ”

Zhu Liangxin's eyebrows jumped, and the muscles of his face trembled slightly, but he just suppressed the uneasiness and fear in his heart, "Hasn't the identity of that assassin been found out a long time ago." It's just a small river and lake that came out of Tongtian Pavilion. In the past, the palace said to the sage that a Jianghu organization like Tongtian Pavilion could not be stayed, but you sage ......"

"Queen Mother," Xiao Zhan interrupted her, Zhu Liangxin looked back at Xiao Zhan, and found that there was a little interest and pity in his eyes, "That assassin is the ninth brother Xiao Nuo." The Zhu family has covered the sky with one hand for so long, why did the building suddenly collapse. In the final analysis, it was just because his father felt guilty about his ninth brother. In other words, the father knew everything about the tricks you played with the Zhu family back then. ”

The dusty past, just let Xiao Zhan say it bluntly, which can be regarded as tearing the last fig leaf. Zhu Liangxin's heart was cold, but he didn't show any panicked look on his face, "What the fourth prince is saying, why can't this palace understand a word." ”

Her denial of death did not anger Xiao Zhan, but made him laugh happily, "Before I came, I was thinking about what kind of face the queen mother would face me after hearing these things. As expected, the queen's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is really perfect. ”

"Xiao Zhan!" Zhu Liangxin scolded coldly: "Although this palace is imprisoned in this Jichang Palace by your father, this palace is still the queen, your queen mother." How dare you be so disrespectful and make a big deal of nonsense here! ”

"Zhu Liangdong has been beheaded, all the men of your Zhu family have been sent to Northern Xinjiang, and the women of the Zhu family have all been filled into the teaching workshop. Zhu Liangdong is still lying in a different place at the entrance of the vegetable market and no one collects the corpse, because it was the order of the saint to expose the corpses of such sinners for seven days, and no one dares to resist the holy order, not to mention that there is no one in your Zhu family. Zhu Liangxin, now, who are you showing this queen's shelf? ”

Listening to Xiao Zhan's eloquent talk about the bloody wind related to the Zhu family, Zhu Liangxin only felt that her body was getting cold inch by inch, and in the end, she even trembled her teeth, "You ......"

"If the queen doesn't believe it, you can ask a few more palace people, as well as the guards outside. Such a big thing, inside and outside the palace, has long been known to everyone. However, these people who are on an errand in the palace are afraid that they will not reveal half a word to you. Thinking like this, Erchen came to visit the queen mother. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan stood up and bowed to Zhu Liangxin. This is the highest etiquette used by the prince when he meets the queen in the past, but now Xiao Zhan uses it again, but it is full of irony. Zhu Liangxin laughed angrily, and also stood up, "In the past, the sage often said to the palace that the fourth prince was a person with a gentle personality and no quarrel with the world, so he gave the fourth prince the word 'run'. Now it seems that the saint is afraid that he has also been deceived by others. Xiao Zhan, why are you being aggressive here and mocking this palace in every way. Speaking of which, the two of us are the same kind of people. ”

Zhu Liangxin's implication is that when Xiao Zhan is ridiculing her for her ruthless methods and hypocritical calculations, he is actually scolding himself. When Xiao Zhan heard this, he lifted his eyelids lightly and looked at Zhu Liangxin, "Compared with the queen's mother, this king is ashamed of himself." Hearing that the mother's family was in the middle of the road, the clansmen all ended so miserably, but the queen mother was still so calm. This king asked himself, he can't be like the queen's mother. One more thing, I don't know if the queen is interested in knowing? It's about the deposed prince. ”

After Zhu Liangxin was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became fierce, "What did you do to him!" ”

Zhu Liangxin suddenly lost all his demeanor, just to protect the last bit of what he could protect. But in Xiao Zhan's opinion, her teeth and claws are also a kind of powerlessness.

"How about this king not taking the deposed prince. It's just that I heard a while ago that the waste prince walked out of the mountain gate and traveled all over the world. No one knows where he went. Where did Xiao Shuo go, Xiao Zhan had some conjectures in his heart, but he disdained to say to Zhu Liangxin, "The queen mother is really pitiful now, I think you have the ability to go through the sky at the beginning, and there is nothing you don't know about things inside and outside the palace." It can really be said that turning hands into clouds and hands for rain...... Now, if you look at yourself, you don't even know that your son has left the royal capital. Zhu Liangxin, what else can you do like this? ”

"Even if this palace can't do anything, so what?" Zhu Liangxin sneered and walked towards Xiao Zhan step by step, and stood still in a position that was only one or two steps away from Xiao Zhan, "Without the will of the saint, what can others do to me." ”

"Naturally, I can't." Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and replied quickly, "After your reminder, I suddenly remembered something. Look, it's about to fall again. The day of the frost is also the death day of the good concubine. Do you think you'll survive this year after the frost falls? "First Reading Network

After Xiao Zhan said this, he turned around and left Jichang Palace in a dashing manner, leaving only Zhu Liangxin standing in the dim palace with an unbelievable expression.

He ...... You want to sacrifice me to that slut? Zhu Liangxin muttered to himself in a panic, and then denied it, "No, it's impossible." He couldn't have done that, he ......"

Zhu Liangxin staggered to the ground as he spoke, "How can he do this to me...... How could he ......"

At this moment, she is helpless like a child. The news that Xiao Zhan conveyed to him today hit her back again and again. And this last one is the most damning.

"In the end, I still can't compare to a dead man after all......" I don't know how long I cried, Zhu Liangxin raised his hand to wipe away the tears, and said with a cold face.

……

Xiao Zhan has been in a very good mood these days, even if Xiao Wusheng doesn't have the intention of making him a prince, he doesn't care at all. After coming out of Jichang Palace, Xiao Zhan went straight back to the palace. Since the fire in the Great Mercy Temple, Concubine Ren naturally returned to live in the Runwang Mansion.

Because Qiqiao protected her in front of her, and Ah Yin arrived in time, she was not injured, but she was more depressed and not as energetic as before.

"Mother," Xiao Zhan pushed open the door and looked at Ren, who was worshipping Buddha in the room.

Hearing this, Ren opened his eyes and smiled at him: "Zhan'er is back, sit down." ”

"Is Mother reciting the Great Compassion Mantra to Qiqiao?" Xiao Zhan sat down in response, glanced at the Buddhist scriptures spread out on the table, and asked.

Ren nodded, stretched out his hand and stroked the scripture book spread out on the table, "The scriptures that Ah Qiao copied for me at the beginning have all been burned. Right now, I don't even have anything to look at things and think about people...... Only reciting the Great Compassion Mantra a few more times can make my heart feel better. ”

"Mother, it's not your fault." Xiao Zhan saw that Ren was still blaming himself like this, and comforted him softly: "Now that the Zhu family and others have all subdued the law, they can also sue Qiqiao in the spirit of the sky." ”

"If one Zhu family falls, another Zhu family will rise. I have seen such things many times, and the collapse of the Zhu family is just to make way for others. In the final analysis, the real sins of the Zhu family have not been made public. And Aro she ......"

"Mother, there will always be a wait for that day." Xiao Zhan held Ren's hand, and he was suddenly a little curious, if that day really came, Xiao Wusheng took Xiao Nuo back to the palace against public opinion, what would his mother choose.

Will it be on his side, or will he be on Xiao Nuo's side.

As he was thinking like this, Ren suddenly asked, "Has your father been aware of Ah Yin's identity?" ”

Xiao Zhan looked at Ren with a complicated expression, and when Ren saw him like this, he knew that he didn't need to ask anything. I saw her lower her head and sighed softly, "In the end, you still can't escape such a fate." ”

"The father didn't make a big deal to inquire about the movements of the ninth brother, he just assigned the most trusted Cong Longwei around him to track down. I believe that at this moment, these people are afraid that they have already searched under the unruly mountain. ”

"What's the trouble with him? Ah Yin didn't want to come back. ”

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Doesn't the mother concubine know what her father is like?" He always wants the best for the people he cares about – what he thinks is the best for himself. If others dismiss his face, he will be angry and furious. ”

"What should I do now?" Ren frowned, and couldn't help but start worrying about Ah Yin's safety.

"If Ah Yin accepts it, it's fine. If he doesn't accept it, or even refuses strongly, I'm afraid that ......" Xiao Zhan pursed his lips and didn't say any more.

There are some things that don't need to be said to be scary enough. Of course, Xiao Zhan knew that Tongtian Pavilion had stood for a hundred years, so it naturally had the ability not to be humane to outsiders. Xiao Wusheng wants to take down the Tongtian Pavilion, I am afraid that it will definitely take a lot of trouble.

It's just that in this way, the situation that has finally stabilized will start to be turbulent again.

Xiao Zhan frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little impetuous. This is the first time he feels powerless since he came back from the dead, and it is also the first time that he feels that things are out of his control. He especially disliked this feeling.

"How is your father's health?"

"Not good." Xiao Zhan shook his head and didn't say much. The saint dragon is in good health, and he must not discuss it in private. Even if one of them is his son and the other is his pillow person.

"In this way, your father is afraid that he will become more and more impatient." Ren said this, closed his eyes slightly, and began to chant the scriptures.

Listening to the sound of his mother's chanting, Xiao Zhan unconsciously put his thoughts away and considered how to deal with his uncertain father.

……

Wei Yuanzheng's father and son served in the palace for more than half a month, until they saw that the saint's condition had stabilized somewhat, so they hurried out of the palace and went home to get some change of clothes and daily necessities to be used on weekdays.

Mrs. Wei was a gentle and virtuous woman, and she had never seen her husband and son so haggard and tired, and as soon as she welcomed the two into the door, she couldn't help crying.

Wei Yuan was frowning, and he pulled Mrs. Wei's sleeve with pity and helplessness, "Madame, don't be like this, she was looked down upon by others, and there are many speculations." ”

When Mrs. Wei heard this, she immediately wiped away her tears, and looked at Wei Yuanzheng with a choked voice: "My lord has not been home for a while, and I haven't seen a message come back." Yun'er didn't leave the palace either, and the whole family was worried. ”

As for what to worry about, it goes without saying. Most of the people living in this alley are Xinglin Yuan, and they all know very well which doctor is being given to death to raid the house. Mrs. Wei was frightened at home alone, but also had to comfort her elderly mother-in-law, and she could only swallow the taste by herself.

Now seeing the two fathers and sons return safely, I am finally relieved.

Seeing his wife like this, Wei Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed to tell the truth. Wei Lingyun saw that his father was silent, so he first coaxed his mother to arrange hot water for the two of them, and only after Mrs. Wei left, did he say to Wei Yuan: "Father, since we have taken half a day off, let's simply finish lunch at home and then go back to the palace." ”

He felt sorry for his mother, and he felt sorry for his father. Since Wei Yuan was serving in the palace, he had never eaten a decent meal on time, and he ate it all in a timely manner, and he didn't remember what he ate or what it tasted like, just to fill his stomach.

After listening to Wei Lingyun's proposal, Wei Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Father, are you worried...... The situation of the saint ......" Wei Lingyun helped his father to sit down, and seeing that no outsiders were present, he asked softly.

Wei Yuanzheng raised his head vigilantly and glanced at him, very sternly, "Yun'er, there are some things, don't speculate. ”

"Father, I've already read the medical records you wrote."

As soon as Wei Lingyun's words fell, Wei Yuan stood up in shock, and looked at Wei Lingyun with anger, "You, you kid, how are you!" ”

"In the past, my father never hid his medical records. But this time it was unusual, and the son also followed his father to serve in front of the saints, so he could naturally see some clues. Two days ago, Li Yizheng was even killed at the gate of the palace from the dragon guard...... Father, the child is also a part of Xinglin Garden, and now, if you want the child not to be involved, I'm afraid it's difficult. Sage he ...... has already begun to kill the imperial doctor of Xinglin Yuan. ”

The bloody facts in front of him made Wei Yuanzheng completely lose his temper. He stood in place and was stunned for a long time, and finally slowly sat down on the soft collapse, and patted the small table on the soft collapse angrily, "It's just that my father is not good at learning, and it has affected you ......."

"The imperial doctor is also a human being, not a god in the sky. Treating the sick and saving people does not mean that he has the right to control the life and death of others, and the father does not have to blame himself so much. Wei Lingyun comforted Wei Yuanzheng for a few words, and suddenly changed his words and said: "My son has been thinking about it for the past few days, and I feel that there is a way, but I can try it." ”

Wei Yuanzheng shook his head with a wry smile, "What else can be done now?" The current condition of the saint is said to be terminally ill, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to treat the medicine. ”

At this point, Wei Yuanzheng also admitted the fact that Xiao Wu's life was not long in disguise.

"If you don't give it a try, how can you know," Wei Lingyun hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wei Yuan cautiously and said, "Father, have you heard of the Medicine King Valley?" ”

"You ......," Wei Yuan's face turned pale when he heard the name pop out of his son's mouth. He looked at Wei Lingyun with a complicated expression, struggling in his heart for a long time before slowly shaking his head, "Kid, don't say that this Medicine King Valley is not so easy to get medicine, even if you ask for that elixir, it is not necessarily a good thing." ”

Wei Yuan opened his mouth, and after all, he didn't bring all the past grievances and hatreds together. Wei Lingyun didn't know much about the past, but he vaguely heard about the saint's dislike for people in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that Wei Yuan seemed to be shaken, he hurriedly persuaded further: "But if we don't take this step, how many days can we live?" Father, the saint who personally healed him, knows best in his heart. If you ask for medicine, you may be able to save the entire Xinglin Garden. ”

"You don't have to say anything about this matter, there is no room for negotiation." Wei Yuanzheng waved his hand and categorically refused: "Child, you are still too young. Too many things, not black and white. I don't know if the Medicine King Valley can really be the last straw, but I can be sure that even if he can save the saint's life, the saint may not appreciate it. At that time, the fate of our Wei family may be even more miserable, you know! ”

Wei Yuanzheng's words completely shocked Wei Lingyun, he looked at Wei Yuanzheng blankly, and wanted to ask more why. At this moment, Mrs. Wei appeared at the door of the room, and saw that the father and son were just sitting there silent, and did not notice anything unusual.

"Yun'er, go back to your room and wash up. Take a good bath, get some sleep, and ask your mother to wake you up for dinner. ”

"Got it, Mother." Wei Lingyun stood up, slowly saluted Mrs. Wei, and walked out of his parents' room mechanically. The words that his father said just now always replayed in his mind and lingered.
