Chapter Seventy-Three: Concubine Lan's Secret
Mu Liancheng shook his head with a smile, and chased after him unhurriedly, he often rode a horse, and it was naturally not difficult to catch up with Feng Qingfang, but because he couldn't bear to disturb her interest, he deliberately gave in, and every time he was about to catch up, he deliberately slowed down and pretended that he did his best, but his skills were not as good as others.
So, the person who finally arrived in front of the gate of Qinglu Temple was naturally Feng Qingyi.
"I lost." Mu Liancheng untied the jade jue and happily handed it over.
Feng Qingyan saw at a glance that this piece of jade was worth a lot of money, and he had been eyeing it for a long time, and today he finally got it, and he couldn't help but be full of joy.
"Thank you."
"It's what you earned." Mu Liancheng said with a smile.
Feng smiled wildly and her eyebrows crooked, could she still not see that Mu Liancheng deliberately let herself?
However, she just likes the feeling of winning, and besides, this jade is so beautiful, anyway, this guy has good things, and she doesn't feel distressed, don't be in vain.
After entering the temple, it was already dusk after they each went to the meditation room to settle down, and the monks brought food, and the two of them used it together in the courtyard.
"Have you noticed that the whole Zen courtyard next door is covered by people, and I don't know who is so magnificent." Feng turned his head wildly and glanced over there and said.
Mu Liancheng took a sip of tea and replied, "I asked the little monk just now, and said that a noble lady surnamed Lan came to offer incense, and she only arrived in the afternoon, and she wanted to fast here for a few days. ”
"Such a big style, it must be a noble lady."
"However, there doesn't seem to be a big family surnamed Lan in the capital." Mu Liancheng felt suspicious, "I don't know if it will ......"
Feng Qingyan didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he was too worried.
"Maybe it's not from the capital? Or maybe she didn't report her husband's surname? Or maybe a pseudonym was used at all? ”
Mu Liancheng nodded absentmindedly: "Maybe." ”
"By the way, I don't know where Helan Chi lives, I haven't seen anyone else since I came." Feng Qingfang remembered the business he had come here to do.
"This, I also asked, the little monk said that there is no pilgrim surnamed Helan to stay overnight today."
Feng Qing thought wildly and said, "Either Helan Chi used a fake name to move in, or he didn't live in at all, but there is no inn nearby, could it be that he left?" ”
"Impossible, let's only come to Qinglu Temple with him for half an hour, there is only one way down the mountain, if he leaves, he will definitely be able to meet, and he can't do anything in half an hour, the matter is not finished, how can he leave?"
"That's just as well." Feng Qingfang took a sip of tea while thinking about it, "There are four Zen temples in Qinglu Temple, and there are dozens of rooms, if you want to find them one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to find them all in a while." ”
Mu Liancheng put down the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand, his deep phoenix eyes blinked, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I'll go to the yard next door in a moment."
Late at night, the two sneaked into the Zen courtyard where the lady surnamed Lan lived, only to see that the lights were bright, and several maids were walking into one of the rooms with tea.
Feng whispered softly: "That's the room where the noble lady lives, right?" But there are several servants in the courtyard, and there are no hidden corners nearby, so it is difficult to get close. ”
Mu Liancheng looked around and said, "Go to the roof." ”
"I can't go up." Feng Qingfang was about to say that he would not be able to work lightly, when he suddenly felt a tightness in his waist, his feet took off, and he immediately jumped up like flying.
"Isn't this coming up?"
Feng Qing was furious, but he looked at someone's handsome face with a smile, and the eyes that were so gentle that they could get tired of death.
"You ......" wanted to scold him a few words, but he was confused by the beauty and lost his mind.
What is she going to scold?
Mu Liancheng stretched out his slender index finger, made a "shhh
A female voice came from below: "Niangniang, the tea is ready." ”
Empress?
Feng Qingyan and Mu Liancheng immediately glanced at each other, and they both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Well, let it go, you all go down first, if there is something, this palace will call you."
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Then, the sound of the door closing, Feng Qing looked down wildly, only to see a woman in a lake-green brocade skirt sitting at the table reading a book, the mist curling above the teapot mouth on the table, after all, it is a meditation room, and the furnishings are simple.
From this point of view, Feng Qingfang couldn't see the woman's face, and just then she heard the maid call her mother, and she couldn't help but be curious.
Who could this be?
Are there any concubines surnamed Lan in the palace?
Immediately, she turned to Mu Liancheng and looked at him with inquiring eyes, but the other party's sword eyebrows were deep, and she didn't know what she was pondering.
It has been proved that the person who cooperated with He Lanchi to kill the queen was someone in the palace, and today He Lanchi came to Qinglu Temple, and there is a lady here, if these two people have nothing to do with each other, it is really a ghost and does not believe it.
In this way, they don't need to look for Helan Chi's traces anymore, they just need to wait here, and Helan Chi will find him.
For the next hour or so, the woman was reading and drinking tea, and had done nothing else, until she had washed her face and feet, and went to bed.
What the heck? Didn't she come to see Helan Chi?
Feng Qingfang was really puzzled, and reached out and dragged Mu Liancheng, wanting to ask him what to do.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to speak, the other party leaned over, covered her mouth, and shook his head at her.
The faint aroma of herbs hit the nasal cavity, smelling very good, dispelling all the tiredness that Feng Qing had just accumulated.
This person looks quite healthy, unlike people who have to take medicine every day, why does he always smell of medicine on his body?
While Feng was thinking wildly, someone below opened the door and walked out.
It's finally time to go!
After the people walked out of the courtyard, Feng Qing eagerly broke Mu Liancheng's hand and said in a low voice, "Let's follow quickly." ”
Mu Liancheng bowed slightly, grabbed her slender waist and jumped down.
The two followed from a distance, through several gates, and finally came to the back mountain.
The mountain behind Qinglu Temple is usually almost untouched except for the monks who are in charge of cleaning, so it is slightly desolate, surrounded by trees, especially at night, it is quiet and deep, and the surroundings are cool.
Further on there was a dense forest, which was pitch black, and there was not a single ray of moonlight, and the woman did not go any further, but cried out to the other side of the forest, "I am coming!" ”
Mu Liancheng was worried that he would be discovered if he got too close, so he pulled Feng Qing and hid behind the cypress bushes at the door, and here he could hear the conversation over there.
Soon, a long figure walked out of the dark.
"Lan'er, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
This voice is indeed Helan Chi!
The other party said coldly: "You and I have already broken off our relationship, how can we use the old title again?" Say whatever you want. ”
He Lanchi took the other party's hand and said, "Lan'er, if you are willing to come to see me, it means that you have no old feelings for me, so why do you say to break off the relationship?" Besides, haven't you done so much for me? If I want to break off with you, I will never be able to do it. ”
As soon as the woman broke free of He Lanchi's hand, she immediately took a few steps back, and still said coldly: "If you have anything to say, if someone finds out, you and I will finish playing." ”
"It's so remote that no one comes during the day, let alone at night, so there's no need to worry." Helan Chi said slowly, "You and I haven't seen each other for so long, don't you have anything to say to me?" Don't you miss me at all? I've been thinking about you day and night. ”
Hearing this, Feng Qingfang only felt goosebumps all over his body, this Helan Chi is a lot older, can he still have a face?
The woman sneered: "Miss me? I think you're missing power and status, right? I'm afraid that the current position of power can't satisfy your ambitions, and you want to continue to climb up? If you hadn't asked me, how could you have asked me out? ”
Feng Qingfang thought to herself, this woman seemed to see Helan Chi very thoroughly.
However, the title "Lan'er" suddenly reminded her of a person - Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan's original surname is Wei, because there is a blue character in her name, so she is named Concubine Lan, so it makes sense for her to call herself Lan.
And the conversation that followed fully confirmed her suspicions.
"Lan'er, don't say it so ugly, I do ask you, but I don't have half of your affection."
"Don't you know that the person I love the most in my heart has always been you, and when I married someone else, it was helpless?"
He Lanchi said sincerely.
But the other party doesn't believe this kind of nonsense.
"You save it, you just said it out of the blue, and I won't do anything for you anymore!"
"No, you will, if you are so ruthless, how can you come to see me?" Helan Chi continued to play the advantage of shamelessness, "Lan'er, you will never be able to let go of me, so don't be stubborn." ”
As he spoke, he was going to pounce on someone again.
As a result, there was a crisp "snap" and a heavy slap in the face.
"Wei Yunlan, you shrew, you have such a heavy hand, don't you want to kill someone?"
Feng lightly bowed his head, sure enough, it was Concubine Lan, Mu Beituo's mother, it seems that this is also a pair with a very story.
Concubine Lan snorted coldly and said: "I'm afraid I'll dirty my hands when I kill you, I came to see you today because I want to make it clear with you at one time, and cut you off, don't come to pester me again in the future, otherwise, I'm not polite to you!" ”
"Two cuts? Hehe, do you really think you can cut ties with me completely? Don't forget what a relationship you and I used to have! Helan Chi's words were quite threatening.
Concubine Lan said: "If you have the ability, you can tell the past to see if you died miserably, or if I died even worse?" ”
"You ......" Helan relaxed, his voice trembled, but soon, he regained his composure, "You're not afraid that I will tell this matter, doesn't that secret matter?" ”
The secret? What does it mean? The curious little flame in Feng Qing's heart burned more and more, expecting them to continue.
"Helan Chi, you ungrateful scumbag, you dare!" Concubine Lan was already furious to the extreme.
"What am I afraid of? If you don't listen, that's all I can do. ”
Concubine Lan roared, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
Helan Chi sneered and said: "I advise you not to do this, because as soon as I die, someone else will do the propaganda instead of me, and when the rumors in the capital are flying all over the sky, what do you say the emperor will do with you?" ”
At this time, Feng Qingfang felt uncomfortable with paralysis in his legs because he had squatted for too long, and wanted to change his posture, but he stepped on a dead branch under his feet and made a "click" sound.
"Who?"
