"Then what's going on with Nangong pouring into the pool?" She couldn't help but ask.

Shu Yao didn't know why. How did it fall into the pool?

"You say, will the prince help us out?"

"It's hard to say. I don't usually give him any good looks. ”

Although Nangong Tilting said so, she hoped that Beiran could save her.

Bei Ran went to Mo Jin Hall to find Mo Ran, and retold everything that happened in Xu Yang Hall today to Mo Ran.

"So Father gave you ten days, right?"

Bei Ran nodded, "The worst thing now is that Nangong Tilt burned the design of that arrow." If it is not burned, then it can be said that someone stole the drawings and found a craftsman to make them himself. Then make one and put it in the temple of Suxi River. ”

Mo Ran thought for a moment, "Aren't you allowed to go in and out of the prison at will?" You can ask Nangong to draw another design sample that is exactly the same! ”

Bei Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go!" Go to the prison. ”

Mo Ran's good pen and ink went to the prison with Bei Ran.

"See the King of the North, see the Eleventh Prince."

"Open the door."

Because His Majesty agreed, the guards would open the door directly.

Shu Yao had already fallen asleep lying on Nangong Tilt's lap, and Nangong Tilting was still in good spirits.

Nangong Tilting saw Bei Ran and Mo Ran coming, so he gently put Shu Yao down.

"Why are you here?" Nangong asked suspiciously.

Mo Ran put the pen and paper on the wooden table, "You hurry up and draw the design of that arrow again." Mo Ran said anxiously.

"Why?"

"If you want to get out of here alive, you do what we say." Beiran said.

Because when they came in, Bei Ran and Mo Ran saw that Shu Yao was asleep, so they didn't speak very loudly, they all spoke softly.

"You've got to tell me, why do you want to paint again?" As much as she wanted to get out alive, she still wanted to know why.

Mo Ran told Nangong about their plan.

Nangong listened to it, "No." "It's very contemplative.

"Why?" Mo Ran didn't understand.

"If you do, what's the difference between you and them?"

Bei Ran, who was on the side, was a little annoyed when he heard Nangong Tilt say this, "So you want to wait for death?" ”

Nangong tilted his head, "I don't want to die, but I don't want to go out in this way." ”

"We only have ten days, and after ten days, if we don't find the real culprit, you will die." Mo Ran said anxiously.

"You can find the real culprit. And I hope you can get Shuyao out first. She feigned composure.

"You can't protect yourself, and you still have to take care of others." Bei Ran said indifferently.

Nangong turned around and glanced at Shu Yao, smiled shallowly, and said, "Shu Yao, she is innocent." If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have suffered like this. ”

Nangong denied their plan, there was no way, only she knew the whole design of that arrow.

Beiran didn't want to waste time here, so he threw his sleeves out.

Mo Ran saw that Beiran had gone out, so he turned around and left. But as soon as he took two steps, he turned around and glanced at the sleeping Shu Yao, and left.

After Bei Ran and Mo Ran left, Nangong sat on the ground, hugged herself tightly, and sobbed softly.

At this moment, what Nangong Qian thought in his heart was indeed somewhat understanding of Nangong Que's approach.

Maybe Nangong Que did that to protect her!

After Bei Ran and Mo Ran left the prison, they returned to the Mojin Hall and tried to find a way again.

Bei Ran calmed down and thought about it, who was the most likely person to kill Fu Taiqing.

Bei Ran asked Wu Xi to investigate whether the Wanhuang Guifei had any hatred in the court, and it was Nangong Tingyu who had the accident, and Nangong Tingxuan had offended the Wanhuang Guifei and was scolded by the cane for a hundred. It's impossible for someone like her to not fight back.

Bei Ran was responsible for finding the real culprit, and Mo Ran tried to save Shu Yao out. After Shu Yao was rescued, he and Bei Ran worked together to find the real culprit.

Mo Ran temporarily gave Mo Jindian to live in Beiran, and he went to live with his mother Concubine Lin.

——

"Niangniang, the prince is here." Aunt Fang said happily.

Aunt Fang is Concubine Lin's maidservant, and she has been by Concubine Lin's side for so many years. For Concubine Lin, Aunt Fang is not just a maid to marry, she is already a family member.

Concubine Lin heard Aunt Fang say that Mo Ran was coming, put down the things in her hand, and went to the lobby.

Today, Concubine Lin is wearing a purple palace dress, a light purple long skirt dragging the ground, fixed with a burnt blue dot emerald peony hairpin, and hanging a little tassel.

Mo Ran saw Concubine Lin coming, and hurriedly saluted, "Erchen see the mother concubine." ”

Concubine Lin smiled and said, "Get up." ”

"Let the mother concubine take a look," Concubine Lin looked left and right, "It's okay, it's not thin." ”

"The sons are well fed and dressed, and the mother doesn't need to worry."

Concubine Lin took Mo Ran's hand and sat on the stool with him, "Why did you come to the concubine tonight?" ”

Mo Ran usually doesn't come to Concubine Lin.

"Presumably, the mother concubine also knows when Nangong is dumping."

Concubine Lin has not been in good health, and she has not participated in the banquet much over the years. His Majesty's birthday is no exception.

Concubine Lin sighed deeply, "This kid has always been very well-behaved, how could he be the one who killed Fu Taiqing." ”

"My father gave Beiran ten days to find the real culprit, and now he lives in Erchen's Mojin Palace, and Erchen has to come to live here with his mother for a while."

"I see. Aunt Fang, send someone to clean Mo Ran's room in the past. ”

"Yes, sissy." Aunt Fang immediately sent the palace maid to clean the room.

Before Mo Ran came, Concubine Lin was burning paper money, so there was still a strong smell of burning.

Mo Ran smelled a burning smell and asked, "Why is there a burning smell?" ”

The smile on Concubine Lin's face gradually disappeared, and she said heavily, "Every year Your Majesty's birthday is the sacrifice day of Her Royal Highness Aja Jinglan. ”

"Who is Her Highness Aja Jinglan?" Mo Ran asked.

"Her Royal Highness Aja Jinglan is the princess of the Qinzhou tribe, and she made friends with Beiliang on behalf of Qinzhou twenty years ago. Because the Queen Mother likes Her Royal Highness Aja Jinglan very much, she left Her Royal Highness in Beiliang. Bei Liang, who was pregnant, gave birth to Princess Xu Ming in Bei Liang. But for some reason, Xu Ming disappeared when he was four years old, and then His Royal Highness Aja Jinglan also fell ill and passed away. ”

Ah Ja Jinglan was the best with Concubine Lin before her death, and she had nothing to say with Concubine Lin. After Aja Jinglan died, Concubine Lin would burn paper money for her every year.

"Why have you never heard of it?"

"Coincidentally, Xu Ming disappeared, and when His Royal Highness Aja Jinglan died, you, Beiran, and Yuran were all outside the Saiwai, not in Beiliang. Your Majesty sealed this matter, and after you return to Beiliang, you naturally don't know about it. ”

Mo Ran nodded, "I see." ”

Concubine Lin looked up at the sky, "Let's rest!" If something happens to you, you should also help Beiran find the real culprit. ”

Mo Ran smiled, "Those who understand me, so do the concubines." ”

After Mo Ran went to rest, Concubine Lin went to the backyard and burned some more paper money for Aja Jinglan.

Early the next morning, when Aunt Fang and Concubine Lin were watering flowers in the yard, a big flaming red bird suddenly soared in the air.

The dazzling fiery red tail feathers, the perfect posture, rose with some red blood in the crystal, and the huge flames rose into the sky, and the loud phoenix roared with it.

Aunt Fang pointed to the big fiery red bird in the sky and said, "Niangniang, isn't this a phoenix?" Aunt Su said in surprise.

Concubine Lin unconsciously put the pot of watering flowers in her hand and looked up at the fiery red phoenix, "Yes, this is the phoenix." ”

After the phoenix disappeared, Concubine Lin and Aunt Fang were still unsatisfied, "Is there something good about this going to happen?" Aunt Fang said unconsciously.

"Something good must be coming." Concubine Lin couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth.

The phoenix flew over in Concubine Lin's Encounter Palace, and not only Aunt Fang and Concubine Lin saw it, but many people saw it.

On the night when the phoenix appeared, when Concubine Lin was asleep, she dreamed of Aja Jinglan.

- Dreams

Concubine Lin came here, I don't know where, her eyes are hazy, and she can't see anything clearly.

In a hazy fog, an exotic woman appeared in front of Concubine Lin.

"Her Royal Highness?!" She was very surprised when she saw Aja Jinglan.

I saw Her Royal Highness Aja Jinglan smile and said to Concubine Lin, "Sister Concubine Lin, I found Xu Ming." ”

"Have you found Princess Xu Ming?" Concubine Lin said in surprise.

Aja Jinglan nodded, and after a while, a woman walked out of the fog.

She wasn't born so exotic, and she wasn't as amazing as Aja Jinglan. But her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Her Royal Highness Aja Jinglan.

"She is Xu Ming, I found her." Aja Jinglan said with a smile.

Just when Concubine Lin was getting closer to Xu Ming step by step, Ah Ja Jinglan and Xu Ming were getting farther and farther away from her.

I only heard an echo, "Sister Concubine Lin, take care of her for me, there is a mark of a red plum blossom on her left shoulder." ”

"Aja Jinglan." Concubine Lin shouted.

- The dream is over

Concubine Lin shouted "Ah Ja Jinglan" and woke up from her dream, sweating profusely.

Aunt Fang was resting next to Concubine Lin, and when she heard Concubine Lin shouting, she quickly got up and went to Yuming Palace.

Aunt Fang entered the Yuming Hall and ran to Concubine Lin's room, only to see Concubine Lin sitting.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why do you sweat profusely? Aunt Fang asked with concern while wiping Concubine Lin's sweat.

Concubine Lin grabbed Aunt Fang's hand and said anxiously, "Aunt Fang, go find Mo Ran to come to the study, go quickly." ”

Aunt Fang didn't know anything, so she just went to find Mo Ran.

Concubine Lin put on a dress and went to the study.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Ran ran to the study with Aunt Fang.

Mo Ran saw that Concubine Lin's face was a little pale, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Lin looked at Mo Ran and said, "Do you still paint now?" ”

Mo Ran nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Concubine Lin picked up the brush and handed it to Mo Ran, "You drew exactly what your mother described." ”

Mo Ran took Concubine Lin's pen, "Okay." ”

About two quarters of an hour later, Mo Ran drew what Concubine Lin had described.

Concubine Lin picked up the painting and looked at it.

Mo Ran also looked at the painting on the side, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt familiar.

"Mother, I think she's a bit like that."

"Like whom?" Concubine Lin asked.

Mo Ran thought for a while, "Yes, like Nangong's personal maid Shuyao." ”

Concubine Lin frowned, "Shu Yao? ”

Mo Ran nodded, "But Mother, how could you dream of Shu Yao?" ”

"Where is Shu Yao now?"

"I'm locked up in prison with Nangong Tanyu."

"Quick, take me to see it."

Mo Ran felt very strange about Concubine Lin's actions, "Why did the concubine want to see Shu Yao?" ”

"You take me first, and you'll know when the time comes."

"Oh, good."

Mo Ran asked the guards to pick out the lamp, and went to the prison with Concubine Lin.

When the guards saw Mo Ran and Concubine Lin, they saluted and opened the door.

Nangong and Shu Yao couldn't sleep, and lay together counting sheep.

When they saw someone coming, they lifted each other up.

"Moran?" Nangong said suspiciously.

"This is my mother, Concubine Lin." Mo Ran said.

"See Concubine Lin." Nangong and Shu Yao said in unison.

When Concubine Lin saw Shu Yao, she stepped forward unconsciously, "You raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”

Shu Yao was very strange, so she raised her head.

I saw that after Concubine Lin looked at Shu Yao, she said unconsciously, "It's like, it's too similar." ”

Not only Shu Yao felt strange, but even Nangong Tanyu and Mo Ran felt strange.

"I don't know who Concubine Lin said she was like?" Nangong asked.

Suddenly, Concubine Lin hugged Shu Yao, and a hot tear dropped on Shu Yao's prison clothes.

Shu Yao, who was hugged by Concubine Lin, was very frightened and didn't know what was going on.

"Why is Concubine Lin crying?" Shu Yao's voice trembled and said.

Concubine Lin let go of Shu Yao, with tears in her eyes, but said with a smile, "Your name is Shu Yao, right?" ”

"Back to Concubine Lin, exactly."

Nangong Tilt and Mo Ran stood aside, at a loss.

"Where's your daddy?"

"I don't have a mother, my father is an alcoholic, because of debts, he almost sold me to others, but fortunately there is a young lady."

"Is your father your biological father?"

Shu Yao shook her head and said, "No, when I was four years old, I was picked up and adopted by my father. ”

Mo Ran heard Shu Yao say that she was picked up and adopted by others when she was four years old, and she unconsciously thought of Princess Xu Ming of Her Royal Highness Aja Jinglan.

"Mother, is Shu Yao ........?"
