515 Accountability

Not long after Lan Ruohua entered, someone from the palace came out to summon Lan Ling'er to meet Lan Ling'er for Long Ni Mojiu.

Lan Ling'er quietly moved her stiff feet, and then bowed down and followed the man into the hall.

The hall was silent, and the huge hall seemed to be only sitting on the main seat, supporting his forehead with his hands, and closing his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was pretending to sleep, or Long Nimojiu, who didn't want to take care of them, and Lan Ruohua, who was standing with his hands tied at the bottom of the stairs.

The glimmer of light from the window cast their shadows on the light-revealing ground, revealing an indescribable coldness.

Lan Ling'er stopped behind Lan Ruohua, and the palace man who led the way for her saluted, and without Long Ni Mojiu's command, he bowed and retreated.

Lan Ling'er glanced at Lan Ruohua, who gave her a look, she was busy gathering her thoughts, and bowed down to greet her, "My subordinates meet Your Highness." ”

But as if he hadn't heard, his eyes were still closed, and he didn't move.

Lan Ruohua and Lan Ling'er didn't dare to move, nor did they dare to make a sound, so they maintained that action and waited quietly.

Lan Ruohua just stood with her hands tied, but Lan Ling'er had always bowed and saluted, and it was quiet all around, but it was only a moment before the chill she felt outside the hall steamed clean, and she actually sweated, and it was the kind that sweated through the back of her clothes.

I really feel that every moment is torment.

Lan Ling'er vaguely guessed that today's show was really coming for her, what was it for...... Her eyes darkened slightly, and it could only be because of that incident.

Thinking of this, she only felt that after a few days of escape, she had to bear the possible storm, which she should have endured, so ...... Bear it.

Thinking about it, she became calm.

And Long Nimo felt that he had had enough of them for a long time, and finally made a move, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the master and apprentice, but he no longer had the warm and whitewashed smile on weekdays, and a pair of eyes that were already narrow and long, like falcons, were no longer hidden, and he glanced at them sharply and coldly, and his tone was also cold and made people shudder, "Do you know why you were summoned to the palace today?" Directly crossed over to Lan Ruohua and asked about Lan Ling'er.

Lan Ling'er already understood in her heart, and she was not ambiguous at the moment, and when she bent her knees, she knelt down and said, "Your subordinates are not doing well, and please punish Your Highness." ”

"And you got on your knees?" Long Nimojiu raised his eyebrows, his expression was inexplicable, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and anger, "You're a good person." It's true that it's not good to do things, it's been a long time, and the person who asked you to check has not been found, not to mention, the plan set by the Blue Sect Master to invite you into the urn before led the fish to take the bait, but the net you put up that you thought was well-planned still failed to catch the fish, but let them escape. This escape is like a fish entering the sea, and there is no trace. ”

"A subordinate is derelict in his duties." Lan Ling'er said dryly.

"You are remiss in your duty." Long Ni Mojiu said lightly, picked up a hand, and gently turned the white jade wrench on his thumb in the faint skylight, as if he thought that the lines on the jade were particularly beautiful, and took it down directly, holding it with two fingers, and carefully examining it with the faint light, looking very focused.

But Lan Ling'er couldn't help but tense her back, even Lan Ruohua was silent, silent.

It took a moment for Long Nimo to turn to them again, "Why don't you explain why you were derelict in your duty?" Is it because of your limited ability and Lonely's overestimation of you, or are you pretending to be public and private, and you are deliberately releasing water, so naturally you can't catch people? ”

Long Nimojiu's volume did not rise, and it was even a few degrees lower than usual, but just a few words that could not even distinguish obvious joy and anger, but Lan Ling'er's face turned white in shock, Lan Ruohua's face also changed, and he was no longer calm, his knees were bent, and he knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”

Lan Ling'er didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly lowered her body and touched her forehead to the ground.

Long Nimojiu moved his body, stretched his body forward, and squinted slightly, as if he wanted to see the master and apprentice more clearly.

He nodded and said, "Sect Master Lan's performance like this, it seems that it's all true?" Lone really believes in the Blue Sect Master, therefore, whatever the Blue Sect Master says is what it is, so that the Blue Sect Master will play and deceive Lone like a fool. The Blue Sect Master might as well guess, where did Lone hear about this? ”

Lan Ruohua was already sweaty in the blink of an eye, and her mind was in chaos, where could she guess what was going on.

Long Ni Mojiu obviously didn't really want her to guess, so he asked what he said, but after a pause, he continued, "It's Long Niming, a good royal brother of Lone." Fang Cai suddenly asked Gu, Gu collected all the medicinal materials in the pharmacy and the medicinal herb shop in the city, but what was the use of himself? If it's not enough, just squeak at him, he is now in charge of the mineral veins at that end, and he also knows a few medicinal herb merchants, what is missing, just talk to him, don't be polite. ”

"That yin and yang weird tone, how do you listen to it and feel that something is wrong, so it came down for people to investigate carefully."

"I don't know if I don't check this, but when I check it, I was scared of Gu Hao. Not to mention that some of those medicinal materials were originally stolen, how could you pour out the medicinal materials inside and take a look, but there were many other things mixed in the middle? The amount is not much, and when you add it up, it is just a few dollars in and out, more or less? It's just the things that can be obtained in the warehouse nearby, what kind of old grain, scrap iron, coal and stone, etc., all kinds of things, at first glance, they were put in hastily, for the sake of it, I am afraid that it has passed the level of verification at that time! ”

"By the way, there is also the most important medicine, because it is very difficult to find, and the quantity is even rarer. At that time, it was Lan Ling'er who personally escorted you all the way into the palace in full view of everyone, and personally handed it over to the Lan Sect Master, right? ”

"On that day, Lone was also present, and he watched the Blue Sect Master inspect the medicinal herbs, because the number was not large, Lone also listened to it, and accidentally remembered it. Since the Blue Sect Master is here, it is better to take the box containing the medicinal materials and let Gu take a good look, but don't be like those medicinal materials in the warehouse, someone has done something to them. ”

"After all, it still takes some movement to make the hands and feet in those medicinal herbs, and the few people who came back to steal the medicine have no chance, and there is no need to do this. So...... It could only be that there is a thief among our own people. I don't know who it is, the Blue Sect Master still went to get the box, and then confirmed it, if it was correct, it would be reassuring, wouldn't it? ”

Long Ni Mojiu's words were plain and gentle, as if they were no different from usual, but Lan Ruohua and Lan Ling'er's master and apprentice were covered in cold sweat when they heard it......

"Go ahead! Blue Master! Another gentle urge, but like a final warning......

Lan Ling'er couldn't care about anything else, and said with a bang, "Your Highness, please don't blame my master." I did all these things alone, and my master didn't know about it. The mistake has been made, and the subordinates dare not quibble, so they only ask His Highness to let his subordinates do things alone, and only punish me, so as not to implicate irrelevant people. ”
