Time rewinds to casually entering the secret passage.

Entering is a sloping slope, very narrow, and can only allow a child to roll all the way down, until he lands on a soft cushion, and he understands that this mechanism is designed for himself. Children can only be allowed to enter, and if they are replaced by adults, they will be stuck halfway.

He got up, and the moment he got up, the light on the wall turned on automatically, illuminating a small passageway, there was no secret room, there was only a small depression under the lamp, he looked at his finger, and reached in, just enough to put his middle finger.

Then a drawer pops out, and inside are all kinds of small bottles.

The bottle is engraved with dense words, and you can easily recognize it, for example, there is a bottle of medicine, which makes people have a fever when you eat it, but if you treat it as an ordinary fever, it will definitely be braided.

The antidote is to run for three hours in a row, and you won't be finished if you don't get tired.

There is also a bottle of medicine, the things in it are like water, and the antidote is also water, but it has to be rootless water, that is, rainwater that has not landed, and you have to drink half a tank, and it will not be finished if it does not break your belly.

There were bags in the drawers, and he put all the bottles in the bags and held them. Some of the more convenient ones are carried in all corners of their bodies.

Wen Dandan had already been stuffed into the corner of the prisoner car, of course he needed these things.

The next drawer was all sorts of strange things, dry branches, dried skins shed by snakes, a stone, a flower that did not wither, a fiery centipede, and so on, in various containers. A black triangle was drawn on a piece of paper, and there was a terrifying exclamation point in it: Aunt Miaoyin taught you to use it!

casually knew that this was Gu, because he was too young, and his mother had never allowed him to play this.

I quickly collected it again, and in the next drawer, there were several thin booklets, which talked about poison, martial arts, medicine, and medicine.

Then in the next drawer, all kinds of small objects, in hairpins, in shoes, on arms, horns and collars, hair and nails, omnipotent, all-encompassing.

Then the next drawer, the title deed of the grange, the silver ticket gold leaf broken silver, both can be taken out to buy property, and there are also convenient for small use.

……

All the good things in this world that can protect, harm, control, and solve people, and also things that can make people almost rampant in the world, are here.

A few casual, thinking that our mother is worthy of being the first female assassin in Dongtang, look at this equipment, it's awesome, who doesn't go sideways.

Each drawer can only be opened with his fingers inserted, that is to say, even Wen Zhenlai can't open it, this is just for him.

Casually, I remembered that since I was two years old, my mother took a mold every year and asked him to print fingerprints.

In the last drawer, there was nothing but a letter.

The paper is very thin, and his mother is not a person who talks at length.

Open it up.,It's good.,It's actually pinyin.,It's also a weird text that only taught him one person.。

"Whatever."

"Seeing this letter, we must have separated."

"Although I don't know what the reason for the separation is, I have always had this hunch that something will happen to Dongtang, three years at the earliest, five years at the latest. And if something happens to Dongtang, there is a chance that it will be related to me, and a woman's sixth sense is generally very effective, so from the time you are one year old, you are ready here. ”

"If when you read this letter, something is wrong with me, and you are young, I advise you not to be impulsive, but I will not advise you not to take revenge, because I feel that it is nonsense. Whether you want to take revenge or not, whether you can take revenge or not, is up to you. If you have the ability, you will repay, and if you are not capable, you will leave. I have a request for you, don't be a fool who doesn't measure up to your strength, and lose the face of your wise and martial father. ”

"Over the years, you have been raised as an orphan, and my mother seems to be a little sorry for you. But the only way to hide a grain of sand is to put it on the beach. And from this day on, I will let you into the wider sea, and until you have greater strength, I want you to go with the flow, and be only a grain of sand in the sea that no one knows. ”

"And let you experience the feeling of being an orphan from an early age, but there is no lack of family support, I foresee the possibility of separation, and I hope that when the real separation comes, you can adapt as soon as possible, not hurt, and quickly become stronger. So I'm not going to ask you to look for your father, after all, when the storm comes, he is also on the cusp of the waves. You can stay alive and grow up freely, forget about us, take revenge in the future, or be lucky and your father and mother will kill the world in all directions, and you can also make a ready-made. ”

"Whatever. I have always known that it is difficult to be with you until I grow old, every day with you is like a gift from God, this day seems to come very slowly and seems too fast, but I still want to thank you for giving me these hundreds of days and nights of happiness. Thank you for coming, my child. Remember, mom loves you forever. ”

The air in the secret passage was smooth, and the letter paper shook slightly in the wind, like laughter.

I read the letter with a little difficulty, read it again, and it didn't burn, so I folded it carefully and put it in my arms. No one in this world recognizes it anyway.

He stared at the dancing candle flames, then lowered his head to look at the drape, and for a long time, grinned.

That's nice.

The old lady did not abandon him.

didn't abandon him for the sake of his stinky father.

The old mother was just a cunning fox, vigilantly waiting for the wind to blow, and began to dig holes early, preparing one back road after another for him, and no matter what happened, she would shove him into the hole.

Mom just hates her own life and doesn't want him to live like that.

He laughed for a long time, raised his hand, and wiped his eyes.

I would never admit that when I watched the prisoner car go away, I actually wanted to run up and ask my mother why she left him, and I wanted to cry while holding the door of the prisoner car.

But when he saw the eyes of the mother in the prison car, he knew that he couldn't cry.

When he sheds a tear, his mother will not feel at ease when he leaves.

All the lights went out, and he stood alone in the dark for a long time.

He's not afraid of the dark, he's just, a little afraid of loneliness.

But my mother said that everyone will be afraid, but if you don't have the right to be afraid, don't let people see it.

After a long time, casually dragged the bottles and cans with a little difficulty, walked to the exit, the door opened, and there was a whistle at the door, the tone was strange, and he smiled casually: "Aunt Miaoyin, when you smell the fragrance, you know it's you, don't blow this tune anymore." ”

The green figure flashed, and Miao Yin probed the smiling face and twisted the casual little face. This child's mouth is sweet, the person she plays with Gu always has a strange smell on her body, she can't say it smells bad, but it doesn't smell good, others only have to hide, but only this child, every time she says it's a fragrance.

What a likable child.

Miao Yin really thinks that the little monster is the cutest little monster in the world, as for the negative evaluation of the little monster by those subordinate colleagues in the Assassin Mansion, she scoffed, it was because they didn't see the little monster!

There was another sound of footsteps, light and calm, and his face became cautious, and he bent down to the darkness: "Aunt Tan." ”

Wen Jintan walked out of the darkness, and she came to Huzhou not long after. Previously, he had been in Liushan to preside over the rivers and lakes of Cangnan and Dian Prefecture and the affairs of the Qianqiu League, the Qianqiu League secretly transferred Huzhou in batches to fill the Huzhou State Army, it was a long process, this process has been handed over to her to supervise, until more than a year ago, all the personnel of the Qianqiu League who have been audited and screened have successfully entered the Huzhou State Army, Cangnan and Yunnan's Jianghu Fishing Good Meeting Branch has also opened to saturation, expanded to the surrounding areas, and found a suitable manager, Wen Jintan learned that Jun Moxiao joined the army, and came to Huzhou, became Wen Zhen's deputy, taking care of all business matters in Huzhou and the surrounding areas.

Her personality seems to be cowardly, but in fact she is dark and bold, after Xiao Lifeng's departure and the exercise of presiding over the affairs of the south over the years, her cowardice is gone, she seems calm and thoughtful, as one of the first people to follow Wen Zhen, she has the highest status among Wen Zhen's cronies.

casually among the uncles and aunts, she was also the most scared, and gave her a courtesy in a proper manner, Wen Jintan only touched his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Before Wen Zhen left, he had already made arrangements for the people around him. Pan Hang has actually mastered the state army, Jackdaw left behind to assist Zhang Yue, and Leng Ying has never shown up, and is her secret guard. Miao Yin is good at Gu arts, and has always been kept outside the house as Wen Zhen's secret helper, Miao Yin and Wen Jintan, who is equivalent to the identity of the big housekeeper, support them all the way away, one is a good Gu, one is rich and someone is rich, and he can be guaranteed to have a worry-free life.

The tunnel is not connected to the Jianghu Lao or the good meeting branch, but Suiyun Academy, at any time, the place where the scholar is located is the most respected place, casually coming out of the secret passage, it is the study of the head of the Suiyun Academy, and the chief of the mountain and the professors of classics in the academy and learned that the assassin was about to leave his post and go to Beijing, they all left in a hurry.

The prepared carriage came, and Wen Jintan asked casually to get into the car, but casually shook his head, "No, I still have one thing to do, and if this thing is not done, I won't leave." ”

The two aunts couldn't resist him, so there was the previous scene.

At this moment, casually coming out of the bushes, the prisoner cart had passed, and he lost his previous embarrassment and funny struggle, and easily pushed the bushes out, but the problem was that he did not come out from above the bushes.

He came out of the underside of the hillside opposite the bushes.

When he came out, he turned around, turned a corner, found a hole in the bottom of the hillside, and got into it.

And the rabbits, foxes, tigers, and monkeys, who were still performing in front of the city gate, took advantage of the moment when everyone knelt down again to send each other off, and slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

It wasn't until people finally pulled out their emotions from the sadness of parting, and when Miaoyin and Wen Jintan, who were not allowed to show up according to Wen Zhen's instructions, found that they had not returned for a long time, and people realized that the seven orphans in the Assassin's Mansion had disappeared together.

……

Time goes back to half a month ago.

In the late autumn Tianjing, there was a premature decay, and the yellow leaves swirled and fell in the slightly wet cracks of the blue brick floor, slender and long, like a quietly cocked finger.

and then shattered in the cyan official boots that he hurriedly stepped on.

There were countless official boots shuttling in Jingren Palace, but there was no miscellaneous footsteps, and the heavy dark cyan long-haired carpet drowned out the scorching footsteps, and also attached to the smell of medicine, sandalwood, and the slight decay unique to people who have been sick for a long time.

The only sound in the hall was the slight sound of the bowl and spoon clashing, mixed with a low voice: "...... I can't feed it anymore......"

"How is this a good ......?"

Suddenly, someone by the door whispered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Yi has arrived." ”

The man in Chinese clothes in front of the bed turned around and put down the medicine bowl in his hand, it was the prince who had been under house arrest for many days.

And beside him, he was full of ceremonious clothes, as if he was always ready for the queen of the court, and his back was tense.

Since His Majesty suddenly fell down when he was looking at the excerpts at night a few days ago, the prince came out of the East Palace under house arrest, together with the queen who was also under house arrest in the Fengzao Palace for many days and had been paralyzed, it was all right so suddenly, no one knows how good she is, but the people who can stand in the palace for many years without falling, there are some skills that others can't know, and it is not enough to be strange.

Concubine De has never been a director, and the Queen Mother has always been only in her Xiang Palace. It seems that only the emperor in the palace will pay attention to these, and once the emperor falls, he will naturally be respected by the queen and the crown prince.

The bead curtain swayed, turned around and looked at the slender figure, as soon as he entered, the people in the hall felt that their eyes were like washing and their hearts were frightened, and they hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed.

The prince's hand, which was still holding the edge of the bowl, tightened slightly.

The third child hasn't appeared in the palace for a few years, and he still has such power over these minions!

Yan Sui didn't look at anyone, he didn't even bother to pay attention to how the prince and the queen lifted the ban, and only looked at the people on the couch.

When he returned to Dongtang, he was about to turn around to Huzhou, but he received an urgent report on the way, saying that His Majesty was seriously ill and that he would not be able to see the last one if he was late.

At this moment, in the palace, in front of the bed, I saw the father who had always been kind, described as withered, breathing, with his eyes closed, if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see the ups and downs of his chest, and he was obviously running out of oil. Yan Sui took two steps forward, stopped again, and heard the prince say softly: "...... My father was fine before, and he could barely reluctantly serve the council, but he was always in a coma for the past few days...... But the third child, do you still know to come back? ”

Yan Sui ignored his questioning tone, and only stared at the emperor's face for a moment.

The prince pursed his lips and glanced at the queen, who patted his hand, turned his head and said kindly: "Since the third child is back, it has been hard all the way." I just heard that you came back from the seaside, presumably you went back to your master's door, your master's door is full of miraculous medicines, do you have any elixir, hurry up and take it out to save your father. ”

Li Xiang and Shan Ling, the two important ministers, were also there, and they all raised their heads hopefully when they heard the words.

Yan Sui still didn't look at her, and said lightly: "The medicine needs to be symptomatic." Take it out casually, use it well, if you use it badly, you two can just say that I killed my father. That's a good idea. ”

The crown prince and the queen Huo Ran changed color.

Yiwang has always been ruthless and unsparing, but in the past, he was too lazy to care, and he didn't see him for a few years, but now he doesn't even want to do that surface work.

The atmosphere in the hall stiffened almost visibly, and Yan Sui said lightly: "Although Your Majesty's health has always been not very good, when I left, it was obviously fine. How did it get so weak in just two years? Why did he fall suddenly? What about the pulse case of the Tai Hospital? What about the previous diet? What about utensils, clothing, etc.? Have you checked them all? ”

The prince suddenly changed color: "What do you mean! Are you implying that Your Majesty was assassinated? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood......" Yan Sui smiled, "I'm not implicating, I'm saying it explicitly." ”

The prince was so angry that he almost fell back, Yan Sui smiled again, and looked at him interestingly: "What if I just say it?" Your Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill and asked the Son of Man to inquire about it, isn't that the meaning of the question? Why is the prince so angry? He smiled at the prince and said softly, "...... It's not that you're a murderer. ”

The last few words were said gently and kindly, but the prince was numb when he heard them.

Li Xiang and Shan Ling glanced at each other and shook their heads in their hearts.

The lord of the East Palace in front of him, with the city's temperament and scheming, is not worthy of lifting shoes for King Yi.

I really don't know what His Majesty thinks.

The atmosphere was frozen, and there was a faint sound in the distance: "...... The god will Lin Qing to-"

Yan Sui's eyes shrank.

"Lin Qing has returned to Beijing?"

Li Xiang lowered his eyes and said: "Yes, back to Your Highness, before Your Majesty fell ill, he just issued an order to summon the gods to return Lin Qing to Beijing to report on his work." His Majesty said that in recent years, the border has been relatively stable, and Lin Shuai has not returned for many years, so he should come back to recuperate for a few days and see the scenery of Tianjing. and specially allowed Lin Shuai to carry guards as a sign of favor. ”

Yan Sui's gaze shrank again.

Shan Ling suddenly said: "His Royal Highness and Lin Shuai haven't seen each other for many years, and it just so happens that they meet in Jingren Palace today, so they will ......."

Yan Sui suddenly interrupted him and said, "Just now, this king mentioned that His Majesty is very sick, and he wants to inquire about the previous pulse case and His Majesty's eating utensils at that time, etc., this matter is urgent and cannot be delayed, so this king will go and do it." After speaking, he did not wait for the others to answer, but turned and left.

He came out suddenly, everyone was stunned, the prince turned his head to look at the queen, the queen looked hesitant, and was about to speak, when suddenly the person on the couch coughed, and then again.

Everyone was shocked, Emperor Yongyu had not spoken for several days, and they all hurried to see it.

Yan Sui's footsteps stopped, but he still didn't look back, and then stepped again.

However, at this time, Emperor Yongyu, who was surrounded by everyone, suddenly spoke hoarsely: "The third ......"

Yan Sui's footsteps paused again.

"Sui'er ......"

This one was even lower, barely audible unless you listened carefully, with the weakness peculiar to those who had run out of oil.

Yan Sui's fingers trembled.

This title has been absent for more than 20 years.

Vaguely before he was three years old, his father called him like this.

At that time, he was not liked by his mother, Lin Feibai also entered the palace, and was favored by his mother wholeheartedly. The people in the palace were the most snobbish, and they snubbed him when they saw it, and once the water that the eunuch sent to him to wash was cold, and he happened to be bumped into by his father, and the little eunuch was immediately killed, and his father held him on his lap in front of everyone, fed him a plate of peanuts, and called him "Sui'er." ”

The ancestor of the Yan family's royal family, holding a grandson but not a son, as a father, has never given his son too much favor, his father is kind and kind, which is an exception, but he generally follows these rules, but he is the exception of the exception.

He always remembered that plate of peanuts was big, crisp and fragrant.

The third call never came out, replaced by a series of heart-rending coughs.

Yan Sui turned his back to the bed, and looked out from the empty door of Jingren Palace, and the round of remnant sun on the glazed heavy eaves in front of him was huge and red, but it was about to fall in a blink of an eye.

Therefore, he worked hard and was unwilling, and burned the scorching red glow of the day.

Under the red glow, Lin Qing, who was not wearing armor and was scattered, came in a hurry.

The two looked at each other, Lin Qing raised one eyebrow, a little surprised, Yan Sui had no expression.

Then he turned around.

Since we've already met it, so be it.

In front of the bed, the emperor had really opened his eyes, and ignored the queen's Yin Yin's dissuasion, and tried to get up, a pair of skinny hands, trembling and stretched out in the direction of Yan Sui.

Li Xiang and Shan Ling glanced at each other, thinking to themselves, what does Your Majesty mean by this? Is it because I haven't seen my favorite son's heart for too long, or does it have other intentions?

If it had other intentions, it would have been possible for something big to happen today.

Most of the ministers of this dynasty still support orthodoxy. The crown prince is not at fault, and it is only natural for him to succeed to the throne.

Li Xiang pressed his heart, and his face turned pale.

The dying re-establishment is going to be a river of blood!

The prince's face was already pale, his hands trembled slightly under the wide sleeves, the queen kept staring at the emperor's face, for a long time, gritted her teeth and pressed the prince's hand, turned her head to Yan Sui and smiled: "Third child, Your Majesty called you." ”

Yan Sui walked over slowly.

The prince's trembling was even worse, his hand slowly stretched out into his sleeve, the queen squeezed his hand, Li Xiang and Shan Ling glanced at each other, Li Xiang motioned for everyone to go down, and he stepped forward quietly, while Shan Ling slowly withdrew, ready to greet Taiwei Yao, who was guarding outside the hall with troops, and paid attention to all movements in the hall at any time.

At this time, the emperor suddenly said: "Xuan...... Xuan Linqing. ”

Lin Qing was kowtowing outside the palace gate, but when the emperor announced this, everyone was stunned, and the atmosphere became even more tense for a while.

At this time, it is very likely that the general of the unified army will enter the palace, and it is very likely that he will set up Anbang Wufu for the new emperor, which is of great significance.

With the sound of footsteps, Lin Qing entered the hall.

The crown prince was no longer shaking, and the whole person sat there stiffly, and the queen seemed to use all her strength to suppress all the movements he wanted.

But she also slowly let go of her hand, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.

Yan Sui and Lin Qing, if you really want to do something, there is no one in this hall who can compete.

What does Your Majesty want to do!

Is it really......

No matter what the people in this hall thought, Yan Sui had already arrived at the bed, and Lin Qing had already stood at the bed.

The crown prince and the queen sat on one side of the couch, and the emperor reached out to Yan Sui with difficulty between them, and Yan Sui looked at the two of them and tilted his head.

He has always had this ability to get angry without saying a word, and just one gesture to get out made the prince tremble suddenly, and the anger and fear that he desperately suppressed were about to explode in an instant-

The Emperor suddenly said, "You guys—go down first—all of you—go down—"

Queen: "Your Majesty!! ”

The voice was mournful and poignant, like a cry of blood.

Emperor: "Down—go—"

Prince: "No! I don't! Why! Why-"

He suddenly pounced on him, and was about to grab his father's neckline, "Father! You're not! You're not going to make a prince, are you? You can't do that to me! You can't! ”

Yan Sui's fingers moved, but finally stopped.

Lin Qing's eyes flashed, but he didn't move.

But suddenly someone pounced on the emperor, turned his head and slapped him on the prince's face, with a crisp sound.

"You're crazy!" It's rare for the queen's voice to be so sharp, "Your Majesty hasn't seen the third child for a long time, let him come over to tell his father and son about his heartfelt feelings, what are you crazy about!" ”

The prince was slapped on his head, and the queen's eyes met, and he was startled by the warning in her eyes, and covered his face and did not move.

In the middle of the night, he turned around, followed his mother, saluted the emperor, and exited the curtain.

Li Xiang hung his head and followed behind, thinking that if the crown prince could succeed to the throne, he was afraid that he would be a curtain queen mother.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Lin Qing and Yan Sui.

With a creak, the last person to go out closed the door of the temple.

And outside the hall, there was the crisp sound of military boots and horses.

Yan Sui slowly sat down on the edge of the couch and looked at his father's withered face.

After a while, he said, "Dad, why are you like this?" ”

The emperor stared at him with a complicated look in his eyes, and said softly, "...... Where have you been in the past few years? ”

"Go to detoxification." Yan Sui said, "Do you know? The poison in my womb has finally been solved today, are you happy? ”

The emperor's eyes showed a hint of doubt, "Third child, when will you ...... Poisoned? ”

Yan Sui laughed, "Dad, I didn't expect you to be like this, this brain is still so sober." Also, if you are not sober, how can you control the eight directions of this imperial universe, use my people, and suppress my people. ”

The emperor's eyes widened slightly: "Third child...... Do you mean Wen Zhen...... You...... Are you complaining about your father......"

Yan Sui lowered his eyes.

He sent all the secret guards to protect Wen Zhen and the child, and then cut off the connection with the country, and naturally there was no communication during the endless day coma detoxification, but after returning to China, he immediately ordered the Chinese and others around him to rush to Huzhou, and also heard about some things in Huzhou over the years, especially the battle between her and Yan Jue, although it was inevitably a false version that circulated, but who he was, he would know it when he listened carefully, and touched the outline of the thrilling struggle of that year on the edge of the vague legend.

Calculate, that is the time when she is pregnant and waiting to give birth.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Father, there is a debtor who is wronged." ”

The emperor stretched out his skinny hand, squeezed his hand, and said breathlessly, "Sui'er...... I know...... Wronged your woman...... But in the next few years, I didn't send the patrol prince again, did I...... You can rest assured...... From now on...... And she was at ease...... It's also your compensation for her......"

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and went to see Yan Sui, what do you mean by this? Wen Zhen sealed the territory and made her feel comfortable, unless Yan Sui became the emperor. And unless the emperor is the emperor, no one else can compensate her for this freedom.

Yan Sui obviously understood, was slightly stunned, and then listened to the emperor's words: "...... Sui'er, I'll hand over this country to you, okay......"
