Chapter Eighty-Eight: Imprisonment
She got up with a smile and walked leisurely to the door with her hands behind her back.
Qian Lingxin looked at the two people standing straight like a stake outside the door, and knocked on the door frame with his fingers: "Two little brothers, find something to eat, even if you are imprisoned, you should stutter, this has not been a drop of water for a day, and you will be hungry!" ”
The two of them turned back at the same time, and one of them turned around and shouted, "Where can I find you something to eat in the middle of the night, be honest, go back and stay!" ”
Qian Lingxin was not annoyed, and he could hear the slightest bit of the black-robed man's conversation with the technique of bell sound, and then said leisurely: "If you starve us, your national teacher's medicine will be greatly discounted, and then I will say that you starved us." ”
As soon as the national teacher was mentioned, the two of them changed their voices when they heard it, and their jealousy was revealed, and one of them was angry and said, "Wait!" Then he motioned to one of the remaining orders to watch closely, and went straight to the dining room and ordered the vigil to get some supper.
In less than half a moment, the door lock sounded, and when the door opened, a servant dressed in black and gray clothes dressed as a small servant entered the house carrying two food boxes. His eyes motioned for the two women to look at the door, and they quickly took off the little girl's clothes and changed them, and then changed their dresses into the little girl
Qian Lingxin tied his hair high, simply curled a man's hair, and put on a little man's pretending to be a handsome young man.
The little girl changed into her dress, and was put into a stupor, and decided whether he would wake up for a while, and the women squeezed him in the corner and hid him, waiting for her to come back. She had to go out to investigate, for fear that those people would enter the house to check when she went out, and this plan to steal the beams and change the pillars would not last long, and she had to rush back before dawn, otherwise she would be implicated in these women who helped her.
Qian Lingxin lifted the two empty food boxes and went out with his head down, the two little guys at the door were drowsy and yawned, and they didn't suspect that it was a bunker and turned around and locked the door.
Walking out of the house, Qianlingxin quietly left along the corridor by the faint moonlight, looked around without patrolling the guards, and the figure was a little on tiptoe like a light swallow and swept on the roof, and now the deep palace compound is full of buildings, flying eaves and arches, row upon row, how can the huge palace be distinguished if it is not on the roof.
This is a side courtyard near the imperial dining room, and the yard is overgrown with weeds and old things, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Raising his eyes, he looked into the courtyard in front of him, and swept away quietly.
The second courtyard is heavily guarded, and there are large internal guards patrolling the verandah from time to time, it seems that this place must be an important person to live, and I thought to myself whether there would be an emperor living in such a magnificent inner hall, or maybe the national teacher was also here.
There was a place where the guards in the courtyard were the strictest, and the shallow listening heart leaned down, leaning against the wall and hiding in the darkness to avoid the patrolling guards, and like a cunning rabbit, he deftly walked through the zigzag verandah and approached the courtyard.
At this time, I happened to see a light approaching in the distance, and someone was walking towards this side, and the person who came was a person dressed in a fine costume and a noble status, and it seemed that his legs and feet were weak
Qianlingxin tied his hair high, simply curled a man's hair, and put on a little man's costume to become a handsome young man.
The little girl changed into her dress, and was put into a stupor, and decided whether he would wake up for a while, and the women squeezed him in the corner and hid him, waiting for her to come back.
Qian Lingxin lifted the two empty food boxes and went out with his head down, the two little guys at the door were drowsy and yawned, and they didn't suspect that it was a bunker and turned around and locked the door.
Walking out of the house, Qianlingxin quietly left along the corridor by the faint moonlight, looked around without patrolling the guards, and the figure was a little on tiptoe like a light swallow and swept on the roof, and now the deep palace compound is full of buildings, flying eaves and arches, row upon row, how can the huge palace be distinguished if it is not on the roof.
This is a side courtyard near the imperial dining room, and the yard is overgrown with weeds and old things, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Raising his eyes, he looked into the front and looked at the main hall behind the second entrance, which should be the center of the palace, and quietly swept over.
After entering the courtyard, the guards were heavily guarded, and nearly 100 guards with knives patrolled, and they were divided into several teams to patrol the night, guarding a brightly lit hall in the center of the airtight defense.
Shallow Lingxin used a light technique to climb over the ridge of the roof, easily avoiding these ordinary guards, and turned into the interior of this palace, hiding behind the pillars of the verandah by the night.
Looking at the palace here with heavy and deep eaves, the atmosphere is high and wide, the style is more magnificent than that Taoist Taoist temple, there must be a person of status to live, this world in addition to the current emperor she really can't think of anyone else can live in such a luxurious palace.
No wonder the garrison is so tight, she broke into the emperor's bedroom!
Qian Lingxin stared at the brightly lit hall and wondered if he wanted to go over and take a look, and his heart was full of curiosity, wondering what the immortal monarch with such a vulgar and peerless face as Tan Hengshu would look like in the world. By the way, to see if the national teacher would be inside, he immediately swept his toes on the roof and squatted down in the center, carefully uncovering a few tiles.
Huang Cancan, a light in the room came into view, her eyes adapted to the darkness, and her heart was a little uncomfortable stimulated by the light in the room, she blinked and slowed down, and soon saw that there were four people in the hall.
This is a study, with two copper crane lamps on the left and right in front of the bookcase, and an old man in brocade clothes sitting behind the case. His face was full of beard and gray hair, and even the luxurious brocade robe he was wearing had lost its original brilliance because it had not been replaced for a long time, and he was slow and trembling through some medicinal books, squinting and reading the words one by one, even if he was very struggling to do so.
I saw that this person was already dying, and he couldn't see the specific appearance from a bird's-eye perspective because he was too far away, but this book case was the place where the emperor approved and folded, and he thought that this person must be the lord of this country.
Opposite the lord of the country was a man who was held by two young servants, wearing a light purple brocade robe, about thirty years old, handsome, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and two beards that looked calm and introverted. He is holding a delicately engraved moire agarwood cane, not to show his identity, but because of his inconvenient legs and feet, even if he is on crutches, he can't stand for a long time and needs to be held by the small guy next to him at any time.
The man with the cane looked worried, there was a sadness between his eyebrows, and he said with some seriousness: "Father, this has passed the third watch, you still don't want to say a word to your sons, you are obsessed with pills all day long, and you have been abandoned for half a year, you should wake up!" ”
The lord of the country stared intently at the ancient book in his hand, he forgot to sleep and eat so that he could treat everything around him as if it didn't exist, and the eunuch who disturbed him the day before yesterday was dragged out and beheaded for the crime of angering Long Yan, and his death was unknown.
Since then, no one dares to come to the imperial study, this book of the emperor's review and discussion of state affairs with the courtiers has now become a medical book scattered all over the ground, and all the books behind the study have become a compendium of herbs, and even some alchemy furnaces have been moved in for him to experiment and develop.
The lord of the country will be so obsessed, all because of a sentence from the national teacher: the elixir of resurrection from the dead is still lacking. As the name suggests, this flavor medicine needs to be composed of seven kinds of medicinal materials, and after synthesis, the pill will emit seven colors.
This is the most important medicine, the lord of the country believes in it, collects books on medicinal materials all over the world, and does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy rare medicinal materials. Some charlatans saw that the money was open, so they resold the so-called immortal cultivators in the cave heaven and blessed land, and some loose cultivators bought a copy of "Immortal Grass Collection" at the expense of money.
This is not only obsessed, but it has reached the realm of madness.
The lord of the country was concentrated, as if he had just caught a glimpse of a person standing under the hall from the corner of the book, and his eyes were a little dim, and he looked surprised: "Yi'er, when did you come, what are you doing standing in my study at such a late night?" ”
Qian Lingxin looked at this man, remembering what the innkeeper said about Tan Junyi, the eldest prince in the palace, who was seriously injured because of the encirclement and suppression of evil demons with his troops, and now it seems that he was afraid that he was not lightly injured that day and was disabled.
The eldest prince frowned, his face was angry and sad, he staggered towards the person who wrote the case and took two steps and almost fell, and the two little servants quickly held it steady. The eldest prince couldn't hold back the depressed thoughts in his heart, and said in a fierce tone: "Father, the son has been standing here for three hours, have you ever seen the son of the minister?" My father was really obsessed to the point of going crazy. Your lord of a country is fascinated by a woman, abandoning the government, ignoring the loyalty of those humerus ministers, and even more so of all the people in Nanxiang City who love you! ”
Tan Junyi's heartfelt words had no effect on this seemingly mediocre lord, and he must have been entrusted by those ministers to lobby here. Thinking that the lord of the country was obsessed with refining medicine and was a little obsessed to a crazy situation, thinking that the old eunuch who had been beheaded for unknown reasons before, that was the old eunuch who had served the lord of the country for decades since he was a child, and he had been ruthlessly beheaded in vain, and they did not dare to come rashly to disturb the holy driver, so they had to let the prince, the most stable and introverted among the princes, and the eldest prince, who was usually quite favored by the lord of the country, come to persuade them.
Tan Junyi saw that the old father was indifferent, and he was even more heartbroken, so he turned away and said: "Erchen inquired among the guards a few days ago that Mo Fan is back."
This remark is not light or heavy, it is a little understatement, but it makes the lord of the country look startled, the hand holding the scroll also shook suddenly, his cloudy eyes were a little moist, and his eyes looked at him slowly, as if he was talking to himself: "He's back"
Tan Junyi's eyes lit up at this time, and he finally found something that could make the lord of the country care, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Mo Fan has been by the side of the second brother since he was a child, loyal and inseparable, if he appears in Nanxiang City, the second brother must be nearby or he has also entered the city." ”
The scroll in the hand of the lord of the country fell, and his whole body trembled like a candle in the wind, which seemed to be unbelievable, and it was even more difficult to suppress the grief and longing. Tears welled up in his eyes, his old face was distorted by grief, and he cried and shouted, "Heng'er......"
Watching this scene from the rooftop, an elderly man wept bitterly because he missed his son who had not seen him for many years, and the sadness and grief made people feel compassionate. This can't help but remind her of her previous life, there was an elderly grandmother who was also sad to lose her, and maybe the same as washing her face with tears all day long, thinking of this is a heartache, and her nose is sour.
Qian Lingxin sat on the side, listening to the faint sound of the lord sobbing in the room, and suddenly felt that Tan Hengshu was a ruthless person, why didn't he want to come back to see his old father. She doesn't understand why cultivating immortals has to break off the seven emotions and six desires, forgetting these bullshit truths of the world, even if she becomes an immortal, what is the point of being a ruthless and desireless immortal, her parents should come back and do their filial piety while they are still there.
Thinking of this, Qian Lingxin thought that maybe Tan Hengshu didn't meet his father for other reasons, thinking that Mo Fan said that Tan Hengshu had witnessed the death of her mother's concubine, she looked inside the house again as soon as her curiosity came up.
She looked at the lord of the country below who was still crying sadly, and used her spiritual power to urge the art of listening to the sound, and a wisp of divine sense penetrated into the depths of his heart, searching for the relevant memories in it.
A person's memory is not only imprinted in the mind, but also some unforgettable things are buried deep in the heart and are not noticed. The memory information in the mind is often incomplete, and when a person falls into thinking is the time when the heart is moving, everything moves from the heart, even if it is just a memory, you can see what you think clearly. This method can search the deepest secrets hidden in the human heart, which is the listening sound and contemplation of the mind, as long as the other party has a trace of thought, it can be completely captured.
Qian Lingxin's eyes suddenly brightened and dazzling, and soon things were clear again, and she found the memory of Concubine Lan's death from the inner thoughts of the lord of the country.
