She reached in, and Flame Night ran to her side and grabbed her shoulder, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhilan didn't look at him, just pursed her lips and stared at the hole in the tree, as if there was a big secret inside. Flame Night tightened her arms and hugged her tightly. Zhilan's wrist suddenly turned hard, as if she had dug up something, and slowly took out her hand.

In her white hand was a handful full of dirt, and on the soil was a delicate plant, green with a pale red stem, and three fruits hanging from it, the color of red-hot copper. When the rain falls, it separates above it, as if the plant had held up an invisible umbrella on its own......

In the dense rain curtain, it seems to be a spark that is not afraid of rain.

"Zhilan—" Flame Night looked at her hand in shock, then reached out to take her wrist and rubbed it slowly, he muttered to her as if asking himself, "How can this be...... How could you ......"

Zhilan's eyes were blurry, and she leaned back on Huoye, and said to him with ease, "Look, didn't I remember." "Three days of sleepless sleep made her a little drowsy, the rain was cold, but she felt very hot.

"That's what you've been thinking?" Flame Night hugged her dead behind her, "We've met, we've seen ......"

Zhilan closed her eyes and slumped on his shoulder, letting the rain fall on her face.

===Dividing line===

Ten years ago, Yong'an.

Because I heard that the big devil Qin Xuan recently fled to Yong'an, the streets of Yong'an have become quiet during this time. People who have to go out are also in a hurry and don't dare to stay outside.

The only place that is still "people coming and going" should be the property of the imperial merchant Ji family-Xianju Inn. What is a little gratifying is that since Qin Xuan, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes have also stayed in Yong'an within a few days, and let out a sound, everyone knows that they are here to kill Qin Xuan, which gives the local people a little comfort.

On that day, it rained heavily.

The third floor of the Xianju Inn. Tianzi No. 1 room should be the best room here. There was only one little girl about six years old in the huge and elegant room, and it was Yun Zhilan. She wore an aqua blue skirt and combed her buns, and sat quietly in a chair. At this age, there are very few children who can sit and live.

After a while, she really couldn't sit still, and looked at the door hesitantly, although this place was not much worse than the palace, but she had been here by herself for several days, and she wanted to go out.

Xiao Zhilan came to the door slowly, pushed open the door, poked her head out and looked around carefully. The cloisters were empty, and the silence was frightening. She struggled over the high threshold and stepped out, the door closing silently behind her.

She walked a few steps down the corridor alone, trying to get out, but she couldn't tell which side of the stairs was going downstairs, so she turned around and took a few steps back for some reason. Then he stood silently for a moment, as if he was trying to figure out whether to go or not.

In the end, she seemed to give up and decided to go back to her room. But when she looked back, the door to the room she had come out from was closed. All the rooms look the same, which one is hers...... She tilted her head, confused.

In the distance, another girl's laughter could be heard, and then a girl of the same age and a boy a head taller than her walked up the stairs holding hands. The girl tilted her head and asked, "Brother, when will my father come back?" ”

"Soon."

"Xiao'er misses her father."

When they went upstairs and found Zhilan, the girl suddenly smiled and glared at Zhilan. The boy looked at Zhilan carefully for a long time and asked her, "Are you from Liuli Palace?" ”

Zhilan nodded silently.

The boy seemed to want to say something, but the girl tugged at her brother and whispered, "Brother! Let's go! My mother said that the people in Liuli Palace are all fox spirits! ”

The boy sighed, why did his mother say everything to his sister, "Laugh, you have to be polite." ”

"No! Who made her stand at the door of our room! Chang smiled and pouted, and pulled Chang Ling hard, "Hurry up, hurry up!" "It seems that if she stays a little longer, Zhilan will really turn into a vixen.

Zhilan twisted her head, choosing to ignore the two of them, carefully considering which room she had just come out of. Chang Ling seemed to want to say something, but Chang Xiao was stubborn and pulled his brother into the room.

After a while, Zhilan became more and more indistinguishable. She knew it was going to be bad, so did she have to wait outside for her mother to come back?

======

Zhilan squatted against the wall in the corridor, and after a long time, she was a little drowsy. So when Flame Night came upstairs, he saw the girl dozing off at a glance.

Flame Night walked over and looked at the words on the door next to her, yes, this is the room. His father said that his daughter-in-law was a very beautiful girl, and this time it was rare that he didn't lie to him.

"Hey, you."

Zhilan was asleep, when she suddenly felt someone pat her on the head, and when she looked up, she saw a boy in a navy blue brocade robe squatting in front of her. The person in front of her was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at all, and she stood up with a kick.

Flame Night also stood up, and Zhilan felt that he seemed to be a little tall......

He smiled softly and asked her, "You're my fiancée, aren't you?" ”

Not ...... What wife?

"What are you doing sitting outside, waiting for me here? Yes, my father asked me to exchange things with you. Then he took out a small jade box, opened it and handed it over, "Here you go." ”

There was a black stone in the delicate little jade box, and Zhilan took it hesitantly. Is it a stone? It's ugly......

"This is a very important thing in our family, and it can't be put indiscriminately, there is a saying that 'jade does not melt, gold and silver do not become ancient'. You'll keep it well, right? ”

Zhilan nodded, oh, good.

"What about yours?"

Zhilan has not been in a state since she saw Yanye, and now she is also looking at Yanye in a daze, Yanye stretched out a hand and quietly held it in front of her, so that Zhilan didn't understand what the other party wanted from her at all?

"Since it's an exchange, of course you're going to give me something about it." Flame Night thinks that this little girl who refuses to speak is too cute, and her father's vision is so good. He looked her up and down, and then pointed to the jade pendant on Zhilan's waist, "Actually, you can give me whatever you want." Or you give me that. ”

Zhilan looked down and shook her head.

Huoye crossed her arms and looked at her with a smile: "If you don't give me, how can you call it an exchange?" ”

yes, how do you exchange it if you don't give it? But...... Will the mother be angry? Zhilan pursed her lips, looking hesitant.

Flame Night did it herself, and went to untie the jade pendant, "Why don't you talk to me, I'll do it myself." He took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it, and smiled at Zhilan, "I have something to leave immediately, and I will come to pick you up later." ”

======

Under the dim candlelight, Yun Qianxue looked at Zhilan coldly, and there was the jade box on the table, and there was a black stone lying inside. Although Yun Qianxue didn't speak, Zhilan could feel the anger in her mother's eyes.

Yun Qianxue looked sideways at the box on the table, her brows furrowed. No one participated in the encirclement and suppression of Flame Valley this time, but she used the Ghost Rakshasa to exchange things from Zhilan while she was away, what did that old puppet mean by Yan Wuxi?

She held her head and thought that if the Valley of Flames was a robbery instead of a "exchange", then she would have to kill and ask in the Valley of Flames. But now that the Valley of Flames is "exchanged" for Arcana, what does that mean exactly? Could it be that Yan Wuxi really plans to marry Liuli Palace? So...... So they didn't participate in Qin Xuan's affairs in order to save face......

Seeing that her mother didn't speak all night, Zhilan timidly reached out and pulled Yun Qianxue's sleeve.

Yun Qianxue seemed to let out a tired sigh, she should have taken her daughter with her, "Lan Lan, you should know how important Yun Pei is." ”

Zhilan nodded obediently, holding Yun Pei, and had the same right to command the three palaces as the palace master.

Yun Qianxue only felt a headache, and she couldn't imagine that her daughter was so careless. If Zhilan takes over the Liuli Palace in the future, that person has Yun Pei in his hands and marries Zhilan, the palace master, not only the Liuli Palace, but even the other two palaces, won't they all be held in the hands of others, and Zhilan will not be able to do anything to him at that time. She really had to think about the worst.

"What does the person who changed Yun Pei with you look like?"

Zhilan thought for a moment and raised her hand to the top of her head, signaling that the person was so much taller than her.

Yun Qianxue saw that Zhilan meant that the person was also a child, and her face finally got a little better, "Fortunately, it's not an old one." Yun Qianxue closed her eyes and said with difficulty, "Okay, it's no wonder that my mother didn't teach you so much." Since you have already changed, then you are nodding your head in this matter, no wonder others. When he comes to you, you're going to get married, you know? ”

Although Zhilan didn't know what "married" meant, she still nodded.

"But this ghost rakshasa, you can't take it back to the palace." She closed the box and handed it to Zhilan, "Deal with it yourself, don't let me see it again when we return to the palace tomorrow." ”

Seeing that her mother was not so angry, Zhilan reached out and took the box.

Yun Qianxue looked at her daughter deeply, and said meaningfully, "This is a way out left by your mother." "The thing is not in the Liuli Palace, Zhilan is young, as long as she can't see it, she will soon forget about it. As long as she didn't remember, it was useless how the man came to ask for a marriage. But if she remembers, or if something comes back to her......

Yun Qianxue bent down to pick up Zhilan, her voice was long, "I can't stay with you for too long...... There's a lot of stuff you have to deal with on your own. ”

Zhilan held the box in her hand and hugged Yun Qianxue's neck. She stepped over her mother's shoulder and saw the tree swaying in the wind and rain outside the window.

That night, Yun Qianxue coaxed Zhilan, and just when Zhilan was about to fall asleep, she vaguely heard a palace maid's low voice, "Palace master, Gongzi Qin is waiting for you outside." ”

"Let him in, it's too dangerous outside now."

Zhilan rubbed her eyes, couldn't open them, and fell asleep again.
