The person was called by Mu Chuanlan, and if he wanted to ask He Zai's sin, he would definitely shake out all the things Mu Chuanlan taught him. Such a shameless person has long taken his reputation seriously, Mu Chuanlan is still innocent, if He Zai really confesses this matter, her face will be gloomy.

"I remember that the third sister was resting in this room, why didn't the third sister disappear." Wei Zhenzhen said. "Why is Miss Guo here?"

Mu Chuanlan also remembered clearly, she arranged Bai Yiyan in this room, and then immediately put He Zai in, but Bai Yiyan became Guo Nuan. She couldn't help frowning, "Come on, take care of He Zai." You guys, go, come. ”

Bai Yiyan was not elsewhere, just in the next room, listening to the movement next door, waiting for Mu Chuanlan to say that he was coming to her, so he lay on the bed, pretending to be drunk and unconscious. Mu Qing did as she instructed, carried the basin to the front of the room, and was stopped.

"Isn't this the maidservant next to Miss Wei? Where's your young lady? The palace maid asked.

"Back to my aunt, my young lady has been resting in the room since she drank the sobering soup, what's wrong?" Mu Qing asked suspiciously.

followed Mu Qing to push open the door, and saw Bai Yiyan covered with a quilt, lying on the bed, shouting and having a headache. Mu Qing hurriedly ran over, soaked a towel in water, and wiped Bai Yi's forehead.

"Third sister, I really can't bear to see Miss Guo fall into the sea of misery like this, it's better to go and ask Her Royal Highness the princess for mercy." Wei Zhenzhen said.

"Zhen Zhen, the whole capital knows about it, Miss Guo's innocence is damaged, what's the use of going to intercede with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Besides, what you want to marry He Zai is that she is not you, what are you doing to intercede with her. ”

"But Miss Guo has always taken care of me."

So you helped Guo Nuan to harm me together, and you still want me to intercede with you? When I'm blind or stupid. Bai Yiyan almost said this sentence. "If Miss Guo takes good care of you, you should go and intercede with her in person, what should I do?"

Bai Yiyan heard Wei Zhenzhen's words in her ears, it was inevitable that she was a little harsh, Wei Zhenzhen bit her lip, she really wanted to help Guo Nuan. She is just a concubine, everyone knows that she is a concubine, most of them look disdainful, she gets along with those young ladies, they are all scared, for fear that if she says the wrong word, she will make her sister angry. Wei Shuyu's temper has always been short-tempered, she didn't dare to offend, she was worried about Wei Shuyu every day, only Guo Nuan regarded her as a sister, and never looked down on her because of her background.

"Third sister."

"Go back, I can't help with this." Bai Yiyan said, having already picked up the tea bowl, Mu Qing Anning "sent" Wei Zhenzhen out. Bai Yiyan didn't know what Wei Zhenzhen thought, and conspired with others to kill her, but she turned her head and begged Bai Yiyan to intercede for the person who harmed her. Bai Yiyan only took it as a joke.

"Miss Guo's innocence has been completely ruined, and the slave maid heard from the Guo family's subordinates that Miss Guo kept herself at home all day long, and kept her door closed." Mu Qing said. "Even the young lady who has a good time with her on weekdays has no news."

"Isn't there another one here?" Bai Yiyan said, glancing in the direction Wei Zhenzhen had just gone out. "What kind of friendship did she have with Guo Nuan, and she actually remembered to ask me to help her."

"Miss, according to the slave maid, this is clearly for Miss." An Ning was a little indignant. "Then the room where Guo Nuan and He Zai have a private meeting is the room where the young lady is arranged."

"I know." Bai Yiyan said. "Guo Nuan was the one I got in."

An Ning and Mu Qing glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and naturally they were happy. "How's the young lady?"

Bai Yiyan didn't tell anyone about the martial arts, including Mu Qing and An Ning, she told her about it, and Mu Qing and An Ning were both surprised and happy.

Tranquility caresses his chest. "Now let the slave and maid think, the slave and maid feel afraid, if it weren't for the young lady's martial arts, I'm afraid that it would be the young lady whose reputation is ruined now, and the marriage between the young lady and the Hou Ye is also"

"If they hurt me once, there will naturally be a second and third time." Bai Yiyan said. "Our Royal Highness the princess is very fond of her cousin, maybe she will have some poisonous tricks because of Ling You."

"Either way, Miss is careful everywhere." Mu Qing said. "Miss has nothing to be afraid of, although slaves and peace are not useful, they can protect Miss without it."

"Yes, yes, you are all my right-hand men, and I can't do without you." Bai Yiyan said. Suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Your Majesty is going to take the autumn exam in the fall, An Ning, do you want your brother Ah Che to take the exam." ”

Although Li Che is young, he is talented and intelligent, if he participates in the autumn exam, if he is on the list. Maybe you can even win the name of a prodigy.

"Che'er is still young."

"Being young is not a problem." Bai Yiyan said, picking up a piece of osmanthus cake. "I think Li Che is very smart, if he participates, he may be able to get a place. And at his age, although he can't be an official in the court, he can be noticed by His Majesty. It is also good for his future career. ”

"But." An Ning was still a little hesitant, Bai Yiyan finished the pastry in two bites, "Don't worry, I don't think people can make mistakes, Che'er is definitely a malleable talent."

”

Although An Ning still had some hesitation on her face, she still nodded.

At dusk, Mei Changqing's tea was delivered to the Wei Mansion. Bai Yiyan was pruning a branch of osmanthus at that time.

"Yue'er has such idleness."

A familiar voice came from behind, Bai Yiyan turned her head, only to find that Mei Changqing was standing behind her at some point. "I said you brought the tea, I didn't want you to come with the tea."

"That's going to be a long time." Bai Yiyan shook off the osmanthus flowers on his body, leaving only a sleeve of fragrance. "Come back soon, I'll wait for you."

Mei Changqing nodded and went out. Ever since he knew what Mei Changqing was actually doing, this kind of worry has always been with Bai Yiyan, whether it is sitting and living, or painting and writing, Bai Yiyan always feels unsteady in his heart, and now this feeling of unsteadiness is particularly strong. But she couldn't stop Mei Changqing. I can only wait for him to come back in the calm and warm Jingshi.

"Mu Qing, you won't have to tell me about Miss Guo in the future." Bai Yiyan said. "It has nothing to do with us, there are some things you have heard and heard, don't talk nonsense everywhere, remember that trouble comes from the mouth."

"Miss, after all, she wants to hurt you. The slave felt angry when she thought about it. Mu Qing muttered, "She deserves it, so she wants to harm Miss." ”

"Mu Qing." Bai Yiyan drank lightly. "That's her business, I don't want to hear Miss Guo's miscellaneous things in your mouths in the future. Even if you're at home, if you're outside, what you say is what I'm saying. ”

Although Mu Qing is clever, she is still young after all, and she is not as mature and stable as An Ning. Bai Yiyan's words have come to this. An Ning pulled Mu Qing's sleeve. "If outsiders hear that we are gossiping about Miss Guo, they will think that Miss meant, and those who have a heart will anger Miss and cause trouble for Miss." Mu Qing didn't react for a while, and when An Ning finished speaking, he understood the joints and nodded.

"That's in the palace, a Guo Nuan, and he doesn't have the ability to harm me." Bai Yiyan said.

"Miss, do you mean" An Ning raised her head and looked at Bai Yiyan, who nodded. An Ning lowered his eyes. Mu Qing didn't know what was going on, looked at An Ning and looked at Bai Yiyan. "Miss, you are playing dumb riddles again, and the slave maid can't understand it."

"Mu Qing, Miss is for your good, or you have a big mouth, I don't know who to say." An Ning said, with a smile on her face. Mu Qing still didn't understand, and Bai Yiyan didn't plan to tell her, just smiled.

"It's been a few days since I last went to the palace to see my sister, and it's been more than three months, so presumably my eldest sister should be about to give birth." Bai Yiyan thought of Wei Youruo's coming, and a smile appeared on his face. The last time I went to see Wei Youruo, Wei Youruo was strong and healthy, although he was a little tired, but his face was ruddy, and he should give birth to a healthy child. When the time comes, I will go to see Wei Youruo, and I will prepare a congratulatory gift for my little nephew. "An Ning, you go early to prepare gifts, and when the eldest sister is about to give birth, we will hand over the post to the palace. When the eldest sister is confined, there should be her mother's family to go. ”

Zhao Tinglan will naturally go, Bai Yiyan doesn't have to go, but she misses her sister very much. Not to mention that there is only one Mu Chuanlan in the palace, even if there are jackals, tigers and leopards, she has to go.

However, Mu Tingshen was more thoughtful, and when Wei Youruo was about to give birth, he announced that Zhao Tinglan entered the palace to accompany him. There is no Bai Yilang in the will, and Bai Yilang cannot follow. Zhao Tinglan is still a qualified mother to others, although she is reluctant to take Bai Yiyan with her, but her eyes when she looks at Bai Yiyan are not so cold.

"After your eldest sister gives birth, you can enter the palace." Zhao Tinglan only left this sentence.

For some reason, Bai Yiyan was always a little unsteady in his heart. When Mei Changqing went to the north, it was a disaster, and this was another encounter. Bai Yiyan suppressed this feeling in his heart. Wei Youruo was already favored, all the food and clothing were specially taken care of by Mu Tingshen, and he invited the best midwife, Bai Yiyan didn't know what he was worried about.

Yanshan monks have always been favored by Bai Yiyan. Half of what he has learned in his life has been taught to Bai Yiyan, and Bai Yiyan has learned very quickly, but the internal force used in this martial arts practice has to be accumulated over the years, and Bai Yiyan can't do it. Yanshan monks taught Bai Yiyan mostly sword moves, this swordsmanship focuses on light and elegant, Bai Yiyan likes it very much. There is also more time spent practicing swords, and there is no internal force, and most of the sword moves are flashy. At that time, Mei Changqing's move to save her at the foot of Ulyang Mountain was from this sword spectrum, Langyue Meteor. But Bai Yiyan came, but only cut a few bamboos.

"Yue'er, don't be in a hurry, this internal force has to come slowly." Yun Zhiyao hugged the cup, he stopped drinking tea recently. If you keep drinking medicine, your body should be getting worse. Bai Yiyan stopped his sword moves, looking at Yun Zhiyao sitting on the bamboo chair, and felt a lot of indebtedness.

She shouldn't have lied to him, but she felt she should. Bai Yiyan didn't know what happened back then, but he knew that Mrs. Dugu had always been on the tip of Yun Zhiyao's heart. It's just that his real daughter is dead, and only Bai Yiyan is confused, giving him a little comfort in his heart. Mei Changqing should also hope that Yun Zhiyao will have no regrets in his heart when he leaves.

"I see."

"In fact, there is another way to improve internal strength." Yun Zhiyao said, putting down the teacup in his hand. "Anyway, the old man's life is not long, and it's a pity that the old man's skills go with the old man. The old man will pass it on to you. ”

"Don't say that." Bai Yiyan hurriedly said. "You said that you taught Yue'er all your kung fu, Yue'er only learned a dime, don't forget to promise Yue'er, you have to take Yue'er to the Valley of Forgetfulness."

Dye Dong was not beside her, "Dye Dong, she should be the eldest sister's personal maid, where is she?" Bai Yiyan asked again.

"Dye Dong threw himself into suicide and went away as a martyr." Zhao Tinglan walked into the house and replied for the trembling palace maid. With a wave of her hand, she let the maid out. Bai Yiyan also stood up.

This hall was originally deserted, the palace maid went out, closed the door, and only Zhao Tinglan and Bai Yiyan were left, the candle flame was shaking, Zhao Tinglan walked over and cut the lamp and candle.

"Is Dye Dong really a suicide martyr?"

Zhao Tinglan turned her head to look at her, and in her apricot eyes was an abyss that Bai Yiyan couldn't see. "Yes."

"Sister, how did she die?"

"Bai Yiyan, I know that you and Youruo have the best relationship, she is your sister, isn't she my daughter?" Zhao Tinglan said, her voice was stable and there were no waves. "Back then, I gave birth to her in October, she was my first daughter, but also my favorite daughter, I taught her poetry and etiquette, taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she learned everything very quickly, grew up very quickly, in a blink of an eye became a year, I personally tied her hair into a bun, hairpin hairpin. She is famous in the capital and is selected as a show girl at the right age. After entering the palace, he was quite pampered. But just yesterday I lost her, my beloved daughter, who is now lying in this cold coffin, and her child, my grandson. She said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with her at this time. Bai Yiyan, I have been thinking about it again since yesterday, why I lost not you, but Youruo. ”

Bai Yiyan looked at her, "Mother really hates me so much?" ”

Zhao Tinglan just looked at her, and did not deny it, but admitted it.

"May I ask why?" Why is it that the same mother is so preferred, one is regarded as the flesh and blood of the heart, and the other is abandoned.

"Because the pain of childbirth is not something you can imagine." Zhao Tinglan said. "I already have two daughters, and I can't stand the pain of being pregnant in October, in exchange for another daughter."

"That's it, you've always hated me?" Bai Yiyan couldn't help but sneer, "Am I not your flesh and blood?" ”

"I don't want to talk about these things in the Silent Hall." Zhao Tinglan said, thoughtful.

Bai Yiyan also turned her gaze to the coffin, where her eldest sister was lying, her once pair of lids became stiff and cold, and the once gentle words slowly rotted in her chest. She should have been sad, but she didn't shed a single tear. Perhaps when people reach their saddest, they don't even have the strength to shed tears.

She raised her hand and stroked it on the coffin, the coffin was smooth, it was made of paulownia wood, presumably Wei Youruo was lying in it, as if he was asleep. is still so gentle and lovely, dignified and beautiful. Bai Yiyan raised his hand, and the moonstone on his wrist also slipped out of his sleeve, and the color of the moonstone obviously dimmed. If Wei You was poisoned, she did not die because of a blood collapse, but because she was poisoned, or rather, it was because of the poison that she gave birth to a stillborn baby and died of a blood collapse in childbirth.

"I'm going to open the coffin. The eldest sister was poisoned because she had a difficult birth. ”

"That's enough." Zhao Tinglan shouted.

"Someone harmed the eldest sister." Bai Yiyan also turned his head. "The eldest sister can't go like this, she was poisoned."

With a crisp and loud sound, Zhao Tinglan slapped Bai Yiyan's head off. "Don't disturb the peace after death because of your inexplicable speculation."

"The eldest sister is really poisoned." Bai Yiyan couldn't take care of it anymore, so he went around to the small coffin and brought the moonstone closer, and the moonstone also changed significantly. "The eldest sister gave birth to a stillborn baby because she was poisoned, and someone poisoned her."

"Bai Yiyan, don't rely on your cleverness to talk nonsense here." Zhao Tinglan said coldly. "Your groundless speculation will not only disturb the peace of Youruo after death, but also anger the saint."

"But mother, do you want to watch Sister Youruo go to Huangquan in vain and wander in the city of vain death?" Bai Yiyan stood across from her. "You keep saying that Youruo is your favorite daughter, but you don't even want to give her the truth, do you really love her?"

"You." Zhao Tinglan raised her hand again, Bai Yiyan didn't dodge, and went straight up.

Before Wei Shuyu left the palace, Bai Yiyan chased after her and stopped her.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Wei Shuyu looked at her with some disgust on his face.

"Don't you doubt the death of the eldest sister at all?" Bai Yiyan asked in a shallow voice. "Although the dystocia and blood collapse caused death, the eldest sister has always been strong and healthy."

Wei Shuyu just looked at her coldly, "Bai Yiyan, not everything is as complicated as you think. Although the eldest sister is in good health, the fetal position is not correct, so there was an accident. I am also saddened by the death of my eldest sister, but it was really just an accident. ”

After she finished speaking, she bumped into Bai Yiyan's side, Bai Yiyan didn't stop her, just watched her walk out of Hede Palace. Wei Youruo still has residual poison on his body, which is of course a harm to people. It's just who this person who harmed Wei Youruo will be. A palace person came forward to lead the way, but Bai Yiyan didn't want to go back to the house, just sat quietly in the wing, Wei Youruo was living and sitting here, and there seemed to be the temperature of her fingertips on the back of the chair. The table was covered with a white cloth, and when Bai Yiyan lifted it, he saw that there were half-made small shoes in the basket. Wei Youruo's hands are extremely skillful, and the embroidered tiger head shoes are hundreds of times stronger than those embroidered by the embroiderer. But before the shoes were finished, she left.

In the hall where Wei Youruo lived, there was no trace of poison, if Dye Dong was still there, Bai Yiyan would probably be able to ask some, but Dye Dong also went. Bai Yiyan opened the makeup dowry and saw that in the bottom drawer of the makeup dowry, there was a delicate small box, and a note was attached to it, "My sister is the gift of the concubine"

When I opened the box, I saw a crystal hairpin lying quietly inside, and the amethyst was a beaded ornament, transparent and gorgeous. Crystal is not easy to carve, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to polish it into this hairpin. It is impossible not to prepare such a gift for her. Bai Yiyan put the box on his chest and sighed. She only took the hairpin and Wei Youruo's note, and put the box back. Everything is still like when Wei Youruo is there.

The will to posthumously seal Wei Youruo soon came down, posthumously crowned Concubine Lan Hui, and buried in the imperial mausoleum. Although the eulogy was gorgeous, there was no trace of emotion, Bai Yiyan just listened, and never heard a little mourning from this gorgeous eulogy.

After the eunuch finished announcing the decree, Bai Yiyan raised his head and looked at the eunuch who was doing routine business. "Father-in-law, can you help Yiyan ask Your Majesty, has Your Majesty ever loved my sister?"

The father-in-law was stunned for a moment. "Miss Wei, don't dare to say this, it's going to lose your head. Miss Wei, we don't dare to say this. ”

Zhao Tinglan also glared at Bai Yiyan, but Bai Yiyan stood up and looked at the eunuch. "My father-in-law doesn't dare to say it, so take me to see Your Majesty, I don't know if it's okay."

"This" The father-in-law glanced at Zhao Tinglan, Zhao Tinglan glanced at Bai Yilan, but did not stop it. She didn't care if Bai Yiyan angered the emperor or not. Bai Yiyan chuckled lightly and walked out of Hede Palace. Seeing this, the father-in-law hurriedly followed.

"Miss, please wait here, let's go in and report." Although the father-in-law was a little embarrassed, he still went in to pass through, Bai Yiyan stood at the door, but it didn't take long for the eunuch to come out. "Miss Wei, Your Majesty is in an irritable mood now, although I agree with Miss, but please don't say anything out of the ordinary, don't say what you asked us in Hede Palace."

"Thank you, father-in-law, this time there is father-in-law." After Bai Yiyan finished speaking, someone pushed the door for her, and when she went in, through the gauze screen, she dimly saw Mu Tingshen sitting on a chair, supporting her head with one hand.

On the screen is a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, separated by mountains, Bai Yiyan can't see his expression clearly, but he can hear his voice. "I know what you're going to do."

"Your Majesty knows?" Bai Yilang spoke calmly. "Does Your Majesty also know the question that the courtiers are going to ask Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, have you never loved your sister, maybe you haven't loved anyone in this harem at all." Bai Yiyan was arrogant when she said this, but Mu Tingshen didn't punish her, just looked at her in a daze.

Bai Yiyan looked at him, and her clear eyes seemed to pull his heart out, exactly the same as her eyes back then. It's just that she's more powerful, more sharp-toothed, like a little fox, with sharp claws and fangs exposed.

"It's true." Mu Ting muttered deeply. "You're like your mother."

Bai Yiyan lowered his eyebrows and no longer looked at him. "Your Majesty, among the courtiers and sisters, the courtiers are the least like their mothers."

The eunuch who had been guarding the door stared at the movement in the room, Mu Tingshen had just finished speaking, and before Bai Yiyan could speak, he came in, first saluted Mu Tingshen, and then took Bai Yiyan down and took him outside, only to wipe off the sweat beads on his head. "Oops. Miss Wei, can you say a few words, we just told you, Your Majesty has a bad temper now, and you still say everything to Your Majesty's wounds, and if we are terrified when we hear it outside, if it is someone next to us, we would have pulled it out and cut off our heads. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Bai Yiyan gave the eunuch a reward. "There is a father-in-law to send Yi out of the house."

The palace was majestic, the carriage came out of the palace, and Bai Yiyan kept holding the crystal hairpin. No matter who obstructs her, she has to find out the truth, who harmed Wei Youruo, and she will make those people pay the due price.

Seven days of stopping the spirit is the day of Wei Youruo's burial, Bai Yiyan has been locking himself in the Qiuyue Pavilion, not wanting to go out, nor practicing swords, just wanting to stay quietly alone. No tears were shed. Mu Qing and An Ning were frightened, and took turns to comfort Bai Yiyan, who knew in his heart that he hated well.

Whether the murderer wanted Wei Shuyu's life or the life of the emperor's heir in her womb, his goal was achieved. Bai Yiyan didn't know how many of them were involved, but as long as it was poisoned, there would be internal responses in the Hede Palace. Dye Dong died, and most of the original Hede Palace people were sent elsewhere. Bai Yiyan didn't know where to start. It would be nice if Mei Changqing was here.

Bai Yiren put his head on his knees. As soon as Mei Changqing went to the north, there was no news, maybe it was inconvenient to do things in the north, and Bai Yiyan didn't dare to write easily, for fear of causing trouble to Mei Changqing, unlike going out, he stayed in the courtyard every day to study the sword spectrum.

I searched through the pharmacology and poison books given to her by Yanshan monks, but she never found any poison that could cause fetal misposition.

Bai Yiyan put the book down, and couldn't help but think of what Zhong Liyan said, she was a Gu poisoner, and Gu was also a kind of poison, but she didn't understand it.

In addition to instructing her in swordsmanship and medical skills, Yanshan monks also told her about the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes. The poison technique comes from the northern country, and the Gu master comes from Miao Jiang, both of them are poisons, but they are mutually restrictive, Zhong Liyan integrates the two into one, and can practice strange poisons. I don't know if there is any blind in such a poison, which will make people have dystocia and blood collapse.

Wei Youruo has been buried, and the poison in her body has also been buried in the grave with her, Bai Yiyan can only check in the direction she guessed, but she will definitely be able to find the real culprit and seek justice for Wei Youruo.
