"I didn't expect to see you."

The soldier hugged Yan Ruyu and hammered him on the back a few times with both hands.

Su Liruo was dumbfounded, what is the situation? Know?

"How did you get mixed up like this?"

Yan Ruyu frowned, looking at her former friend, her tone was full of regret.

"This is not the place to talk, go to my house first."

As he spoke, the soldier led a few men towards the crowd.

Several people came together to a large mansion.

But what made Su Liruo strange was that this house was very large, and judging from the style, it was known that it was lived by a rich eunuch's family.

But let's not mention that this man is just a small soldier, not even a general, and there is no one in this mansion.

There are a few yards that have even grown grass.

On the way here, she had already got to know the soldier briefly.

His name is Lin Jian, he grew up with Yan Ruyu since he was a child, he was his companion, his father was the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and later he took over his father's position and became the commander when he grew up.

"What about uncle and aunt?"

Yan Ruyu looked at the empty mansion and asked in a deep voice.

Lin Jian smiled bitterly and pointed towards a courtyard, "It's all there." ”

Yan Ruyu looked over there, and the steps under her feet suddenly became heavy.

looked at Lin Jian, who was walking in front, and raised his hand to pull the other party away, but he withdrew his hand at the moment when he was about to touch the robe on his body.

"What is that place?"

Su Liruo sensed the oppressive atmosphere and asked in a low voice.

She had just looked over there, and the courtyard was clean, free of weeds, but it was in a remote location, and it didn't look like it was inhabited from the closed door.

Yan Ruyu's hand holding the folding fan tightened, and the bulging green tendons on the back of the hand could be seen if the strength was great.

After a while, he finally spoke: "There is the ancestral hall of the Lin family."

Su Li knew it, no wonder the atmosphere was so depressing, it turned out that his family had passed away.

His eyes turned to look at the tall figure in front of him, and a touch of sympathy rose in his heart.

He must have been hit hard!

Lin Jian first settled the weak Su Liruo, and then told his experience.

"Since you left, there has been a fight between the princes, and the five princes have come to my door many times to win over my father, but my father did not agree, saying that the Imperial Forest Army only belongs to the emperor and does not participate in internal fighting."

Yan Ruyu sat aside and said with admiration: "Uncle is right, if he agreed at that time, he would end up in a deep whirlpool."

Lin Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Even if you don't agree to the final result, it's not much better, the five princes used tricks to push the Lin Mansion to the forefront, my father was labeled as participating in the civil strife, and finally died, after his death, my mother also followed because of excessive sadness, and I also ended up where I am now."

Yan Ruyu listened quietly, and didn't say anything for a long time.

He grew up with Lin Jian, although Lin Jian always said that he was the master, but he never treated Lin Jian as a slave.

"I'm sorry if I hadn't left......"

"You don't have to say I'm sorry, even if you're in Beijing, you can't stop it."

"What's going on in Beijing now?"

Shangguan Jin sat at the head of Su Liruo's bed and interrupted the conversation between the two.

Lin Jian looked up at him slightly.

"Now the whole of Upper Kyoto is in the hands of the Seven Princes."

"What about my father?"

Yan Ruyu asked with a frown.

Although he didn't like it here, the emperor who was high up was his father after all.

Lin Jian hung his head, hesitated for a while and said: "I don't know the specific situation, the Seventh Prince announced to the public that the emperor has been ill recently, so he will temporarily handle things on behalf of the emperor."

Su Liruo said: "We heard some rumors on the way here, is it true?"

"Rumors?" Lin Jian thought for a moment and said, "You mean the resurrection of King Guixian?"

"Well, we heard about it at the border, and said that the prince was killed by him."

Su Liruo was very curious about this matter, she wanted to know if more mysterious things would happen in this world except for an outsider like her.

Lin Jian laughed when he heard this, "Those are just rumors chasing after the wind, others don't know, but I know very well that the deaths of the other princes were all done by the Seventh Prince alone." ”

Yan Ruyu slapped her big palm on the table when she heard this, making a loud bang.

Angrily: "How dare he?"

Lin Jian sneered: "Ruyu, you really underestimate him, he used to disguise himself as a cowardly prince who didn't know anything and didn't dare to do anything, but in fact, he had already planned a lot of things behind his back."

"Alright, haven't you always been uninterested in the throne? Since you're here to find a doctor, don't make trouble for yourself, the more you know at this time, the more Yan Ruqi wants to get rid of you. ”

With that, he got up lonely and walked outside.

Yan Ruyu sat there like that, her face was cloudy, as if she was thinking about what Lin Jian had just said.

"Brother Yu, if you want to stay, we can go to Liuji by ourselves."

Su Liruo asked tentatively.

"If you need help, you can tell me, although I am only a prince, I can do no less than you as a prince."

The two looked at Yan Ruyu silently.

After a while, Yan Ruyu suddenly smiled, he picked up the folding fan on the side, unfolded it, and gently fanned it a few times.

"I know what you want, but I don't want to worry about it."

Yan Ruyu turned to look at a dead tree outside the window.

Since he was a child, he has been taught that there are no brothers and sisters in the world, not to mention brothers for the sake of interests, even his own children must be willing to give up.

But he couldn't accept it, and that's why he left.

In other words, he had long expected that he would leave such a day, but he never thought that in the end, what was left was to beat the cowardly Yan Ruqi.

"You say, can people really come back from the dead?"

Su Liruo was lying on the bed, slightly tilting his head to look at Shangguan Jin who was sitting on the side and asked.

The corners of Shangguan Jin's lips provoked a sarcastic smile, and he raised his hand to drag the quilt up.

"Where is there anything that comes back from the dead? It's just the means of some well-intentioned people. ”

"You mean, all this is Yan Ruqi's ploy?"

Su Liruo turned over and said softly.

"As far as I know, Yan Ruqi used to be a little unpleasant, just like a fool, not to mention that everyone can be bullied, and it is not a hard stubble, but judging from the current form, he has always been forbearing, it is nothing for a person to be able to endure for a day, and he has been enduring for so long, how can he be a simple character?"

Shangguan Jin analyzed his thoughts.

waited until he finished speaking before looking at Su Liruo on the bed.

But when I looked at it, I found that Su Liruo had already fallen asleep.

Shangguan Jin carefully pulled up her hair, gently took her hand, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
