Chapter 179: Sandalwood

Hearing Nalan Lan'er say this, Nalan Ming nodded and said: "Back then, our Nalan family was sentenced to be beheaded for a crime, and none of the people in the Nalan family were spared, and at that time, I was in the field, and I didn't know about it, so I escaped, when I learned that the people of the Nalan family were beheaded, in order to protect my life, I disfigured my appearance with my own hands, and even drank poisonous weeds and ruined my throat." ”

Nalan Ming's words were a little radical, and his broad palm suddenly grabbed Nalan Lan'er's hand and continued: "Yanran, Nalan family's revenge, do you want to avenge it?" ”

Nalan Lan'er was stunned, why did her brother ask this, how could she not report the deep hatred in the sea of blood?

"In order to protect his life, my brother ruined his appearance and voice with his own hands, and the people of the Nalan family, except for you and me and the housekeeper, have all become dead souls, how can Lan'er forget this blood feud? Brother Mo doesn't believe in his sister? ”

Nalan Lan'er's words were a little aggrieved, and her brother actually doubted her determination to take revenge!

Hearing the sour meaning in Nalan Lan'er's words, Nalan Ming reached out and touched her head as if soothingly, and continued: "Brother doesn't believe you, brother is afraid that you will regret it in the future." ”

"If I don't take revenge, I will regret it!" Hundreds of members of Nalan's family have died, this grievance is huge, how can she put hatred and ignore it?

Nalan Lan'er's tone was firm, and Nalan Ming couldn't help but sigh and didn't say anything more.

"Brother, Lan'er has something to ask." Nalan Lan'er seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, looked at him, she looked at him seriously and asked, "Brother, why did you suddenly go to another place back then?" Did you really go to another place to do business? "There are no relatives of the Nalan family in other places, so I can't talk about doing business.

This point makes Nalan Lan'er suspicious, although he is his biological brother, but people are always cautious.

Nalan Ming looked at the gleam in her eyes, and not only sighed in her heart, his sister has finally grown up, knowing that people in this world are sinister, and no matter how reliable they are, they are not as reliable as themselves.

Well, let her continue to grow, grow into someone who can fight side by side with him.

"Brother?" Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Nalan Lan'er's heart tightened, her brows furrowed terribly, her brother didn't answer for a long time, isn't it because of this matter, what has he done to be sorry for the Nalan family, right?

Soon, Nalan Ming relieved the doubts in her heart, he looked at her dotingly, the corners of his mouth hooked a few smiles, and he said calmly between the lines.

"Yanran, there is one thing, my brother needs to be honest with you. My brother went to the field back then, not to do business, my brother just took the name of business, for the first emperor to carry out the task, in order to eradicate those rebels, my brother went away, over the years, I investigated a lot of things, especially after the death of the first emperor, the death of the first emperor was strange, I investigated the poison, according to an autopsy of the imperial doctor, the poison in the first emperor is an extremely rare strange poison in the Western Regions. ”

Hearing Nalan Ming say this, Nalan Lan'er suddenly remembered that the two grandmothers in the palace had found poison on their bodies. Medicine, that poison. There was a faint fragrance spread on the medicine, and that fragrance, she seemed to have smelled somewhere recently.

But where? Nalan Lan'er frowned, fell into deep thought, remembered for a long time, but failed to remember.

"Yanran, this reunion of you and my brother and sister can be regarded as a blessing from God, that's all, you should leave here quickly, lest someone with a heart find here and expose your identity."

After Nalan Ming explained the reason to her, she quickly issued an eviction order, hoping that she would leave Nalan Mansion quickly, if someone found out that she was here, then she would not be able to tell if she had eight mouths.

But ...... they had only been reunited for a long time before they were separated again.

Nalan Lan'er's words stopped talking, and the moment she saw Nalan Ming's firm expression, her heart was like ashes, and she nodded obediently and said, "It just so happens to be time for me to go back to the palace, then...... Brother, you and Uncle Housekeeper should remember to be more careful when you are outside, so as not to let people know your identity. ”

"You too, don't make too many enemies in the palace."

Nalan Ming looked at her worriedly, his younger sister has been well protected since she was a child, and she has always been a simple and kind little girl, although she has grown a lot, she still makes him worry and relax.

"Now I am also the biggest concubine in the palace, it is difficult to make enemies, but no one dares to do anything to me, brother, today's Lan'er is not the Yanran of the past, your sister and I, are not the kind of people who can come over and step on a foot, if anyone dares to be delusional, sister, I must make that person can't eat and walk around, she dares to come over, sister, I dare to ask someone to chop off her feet and feed the python."

Nalan Lan'er's words were even domineering, and there was a bit of arrogance in her words, Nalan Ming couldn't help but remind her: "It's better to be careful, the women in the harem have never been simple." ”

"Yes, brother. Lan'er knew, Lan'er must have remembered her brother's words, and Lan'er took her leave. The corners of Nalan Lan'er's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, Nalan Ming was slightly stunned, as if he had returned to the past, he was still the young master Nalan who was running around for the orders issued by the first emperor, and she was just a simple and kind young lady.

The housekeeper coughed softly, and he came back to his senses a little, she was right, the people of the Nalan family, except for them, the rest were all dead, how could he still fantasize about going back to the past?

Sneering out of thin air, Nalan Ming shook his head, sat on the stone bench, and a sharp knife slipped out of his cuffs, and the knife stabbed the stone table in front of him, and a scratch suddenly appeared on the stone table.

"Master, calm down." The housekeeper saw that something was wrong with the situation, and hurriedly said so.

With the housekeeper's words, Nalan Ming closed his eyes and stabilized his mind, the housekeeper was right, no matter what, he had to calm down, he couldn't act rashly at this time, there were still many things waiting for him to investigate, and there were secrets waiting for him to debunk.

After saying goodbye to Fu Yong, Nalan Lan'er returned to the palace alone.

After returning to the palace, Nalan Lan'er changed back into the concubine's dress, and coldly glanced at herself in the bronze mirror, as bright as the autumn moon, with a moth eyebrows, but the hard hatred in those beautiful eyes made this beauty fierce, and this face, like the tip of a knife, seemed to be able to devour people......

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Wan'er asked her anxiously.

Nalan Lan'er was summoned back to her senses, shook her head lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of something." ”

"Something?"

"It's late at night, I'm a little tired." Nalan Lan'er supported her forehead with her hand a little tired, but she kept thinking about where Nalan Ming lived at the moment, could she live in the sealed Nalan Mansion?

"The mother is resting, and the slave and maid are retired." Wan'er said and exited the door.

Nalan Lan'er kept thinking about the death of the former emperor and the sins of lust at that time, and her heart was in pain, and she slept on the bed early, but she never closed her eyes and rested, and her body was clearly exhausted.

Anxious, Nalan Lan'er turned over and sat up, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she sat for nearly two hours before she felt sleepy, and she climbed into bed and fell asleep peacefully while she was sleepy.

The next day, Nalan Lan'er left Wan'er in the palace and wanted to go to the koi pond alone to relax, but after standing by the pool for a while, she saw a palace maid hurrying to do something.

"I'm in such a hurry." Nalan Lan'er murmured softly, a familiar fragrance made the organs in her heart jump suddenly, and she shouted to the palace maid: "Stop! ”

When the palace maid saw her, she hurriedly approached her and knelt on the ground and said, "Concubine Niangniang." ”

The familiar fragrance is in front of her, Nalan Lan'er's eyes are staring at the brocade box held in the palace maid's hand, secretly happy, God is really long-eyed, she was worried about finding the source of the sandalwood, but she didn't expect her to come out for a walk and bump into it.

She wants to ask who is using this sandalwood in the palace!

"This palace asks you, is this brocade box filled with sandalwood?" Nalan Lan'er asked her with a slight raised eyebrow.

"If you go back to Niangniang, yes, what is contained in this brocade box is indeed sandalwood." The palace maid opened the lid of the brocade box with trembling hands, and Nalan Lan'er was even more happy when she saw the sandalwood in the brocade box.

"Where did this sandalwood come from?" Nalan Lan'er anxiously asked the palace maid, and the palace maid knelt nervously and said in a panic: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, when the emperor was alive, the queen mother often used this kind of sandalwood, but for some reason, the queen mother suddenly stopped using it." ”

"No, this again?" Nalan Lan'er's eyes swept over the brocade box in her hand, and the palace maid hurriedly continued to answer her: "The queen mother has had frequent headaches recently, so she summoned the slave maid to fetch some of this sandalwood to use." ”

The palace maid trembled all over, for fear that Nalan Lan'er would cure her crimes, although she was just passing in front of her, but she was the master, if she wanted to cure her, then her life ......

"You're from the Queen Mother's palace?" Nalan Lan'er leaned closer to her and asked softly.

Looking up and looking around, seeing that there was no one around, the palace maid nodded again and again and said yes, Nalan Lan'er took off the bracelet on her wrist, and put the crystal clear bracelet on the palace maid's wrist.

Looking at the palace maid's dull gaze, she said softly: "Don't be afraid, this palace suddenly saw you, I like it tightly, come, this bracelet will be rewarded to you." ”

It's not so much a reward, it's a bribe, she accepted her gift, her mouth has to be tight, she asked her about sandalwood, she can't leak it to the queen mother at will.

"Guifei Niangniang......" The palace maid turned pale with fright, and looked at the bracelet on her wrist in a daze.

"Keep your mouth tight, this palace has asked you about sandalwood, but you are not allowed to say it."

Nalan Lan'er's eyes swept coldly on the palace maid, and the palace maid reacted to the intention of the bracelet, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, the slave maid must be tight-lipped, the slave maid has never met you in the koi pond today!" ”

"That's fine, hurry up and send sandalwood to the Queen Mother." Nalan Lan'er said, and the palace maid immediately got up and went to the west.
