It has existed here for eons of years, deeply rooted here, quietly waiting for its stories, perhaps not all of which are wonderful, or it is full of blood and carnage. The precipitation of time has given this mountain a little more vicissitudes, with worship or awe, looking up at it towering into the clouds, and pity the world. It was the same nine years ago, and it is still the same after countless nine years.

"Nine years ago, it was in this paddock that His Majesty staged a coup d'état, killing several of his siblings and forcing his father to take the throne. We no longer know the truth about what happened back then, and we can't tell how this history will be portrayed in future history books. ”

Shangguan Zixuan replied to the question and continued, "But as far as I know, there is one person among them who has played a vital role, and it is rumored that the first prince was preparing to attack His Majesty here, but Empress Nan rode alone regardless of the danger, broke into the paddock, and told Your Majesty the news, so that Your Majesty had the opportunity to prepare and turn defeat into victory!" ”

"Ah, Purple Golden Monkey Grass! This is exactly what I lack! Shangguan Zixuan saw the medicine and rushed forward to pick it carefully, so he didn't notice that Murong Xun's suddenly cold eyes behind him had gradually turned white.

After picking a few more herbs, Shangguan Zixuan stretched his waist with satisfaction, as if he was in a mood that had been freed from the unpleasantness of the morning, as if the sun was shining on the mountains at this moment.

Through the layers of trees, there seemed to be a few horses' hooves in the distance, and indirectly a few hearty laughter.

Shangguan Zixuan looked at Murong Xun and smiled bitterly, and said, "It seems that the royal guards have arrived, do you think we will be caught?" ”

Murong Xun looked at Shangguan Zixuan with a bitter face, and said with a faint smile: "I thought you weren't afraid!" ”

Shangguan Zi preached: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's trouble!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and now it was too late to hide, not to mention that looking at Shangguan Zixuan's appearance, it seemed that he did not intend to hide. He almost had a wry smile on his face, but instead walked towards a small path ahead, looking straight ahead. Soon after, I watched a few horses gallop over, and about a foot or two in front of Shangguan Zixuan, several horses stopped one after another. And several heroic men on the horse all broke into Murong Xun's sight.

I saw that the front was Zhao Ling, he was wearing a unicorn pattern black bodysuit today, riding a handsome jujube red horse more and more heroic, and behind him was a man in a dark purple bodysuit, he was about thirty years old, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, his thin lips were tightly pursed, there was no excessive expression, and there was a domineering spirit that was difficult to hide.

Murong Xun's heart contracted tightly, as if someone was pinching her neck, as if someone had fallen a thousand-pound boulder on her heart, pressing her out of breath. Eight years of time turned out to be like a drop in the ocean, different from the hazy dreams in the past, the person's face appeared so clearly in front of her, she once carved his name, Zhao Che, with a dagger with poison in her heart, repeating the oath of revenge over and over again, but now seeing him close, he couldn't even take a step.

"See Your Majesty, see the Lord!" Shangguan Zixuan knelt down and bowed, and saw the person who was immediately on top.

"It's Shangguan, what are you doing here?" Zhao Ling dismounted and helped Shangguan Zixuan on the ground up.

Shangguan Zixuan shook the back basket on his back and said with a smile: "What else can Weichen do?" disturbed His Majesty's interest in the prince, Weichen really deserved death! ”

The cold face of the man in purple also loosened a little, he glanced at Shangguan Zixuan, and said with a slight smile: "Next time I come to collect medicine, I will just say it to the guards, go to the main gate, and let them escort you, there are a lot of fierce beasts in this forest, I don't want my divine doctor to feed those beasts like this." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern......"

"What people! Come out! Before Shangguan Zixuan's words were finished, he heard an exclamation from a guard on horseback.

At that time, the rest of the guards also drew their swords one after another, looking vigilantly in the direction where Murong Xun was standing.

Murong Xun stepped up, and the hem of his skirt touched the branches beside him, making a friction sound. Perhaps it was the prince and the emperor who went out on patrol in micro-clothes, which made several guards feel stressed and nervous, and at this time, I saw that one of the guards had already kicked the spur and raised his knife to slash towards Murong Xun.

Murong Xun looked expressionlessly at the blade coming with a fierce murderous aura, her complexion was pale and she didn't dodge. At this moment, a feather arrow knocked down the guard's knife, and the guard stood sideways to the side, glancing at Zhao Ling, who had not yet taken back the bow, in surprise.

At this moment, Zhao Ling said: "Don't be nervous, I know this woman!" At this time, Zhao Ling whispered a few words in Zhao Che's ear, only to see Zhao Che's thin lips gently pursed, and said in a low voice with contempt and coldness, "Murong Hua, this old horseman!" He glanced at Murong Xun with a cold and penetrating gaze, and then kicked the spur, the horse neighed, and ran forward again.

"Are you alright?" Shangguan Zixuan's eyes were a little afraid, and he looked at Murong Xun worriedly, looking like he wanted to say something.

Murong Xun shook his head, and at this time, Zhao Ling, who had been standing aside with a smile, stroked his palm and smiled: "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, Miss Murong is really bold!" ”

Ignoring the suspicion in Guan Zixuan's eyes, Murong Xun looked at Zhao Ling and smiled lightly, "King Qin has won the award, and Shicai has not thanked King Qin for saving his life!" ”

"It's a trivial matter! It's just that the girl and Shangguan have a lot of affection, and even things like collecting medicine and refining medicine for the Queen Mother are brought with the girl! Zhao Ling still glanced at Murong Xun with a smile, turned over on his horse, and said, "Leave a few people to escort you back, Miss Murong, Shangguan, goodbye!" ”

"Are you really okay?" Shangguan Zixuan looked at Murong Xun's face was a little pale, and still asked with some concern, seeing that Murong Xun shook his head, he asked again: "Have you ever had a grudge with King Qin, I can see it clearly, the guard saw King Qin's face before he attacked you!" ”

Murong Xun smiled coldly and said, "It's not impossible to have a grudge, and my grudge with the Zhao family is not shallow!" ”

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Shangguan Zixuan couldn't wait to take the few herbs he had just picked back to the sun and expose them to the sun. Murong Xun followed behind her unhurriedly, and said lightly: "People say that you are a medicine idiot, it seems that this statement is not false!" After a pause, he said, "Why do you want to refine medicine for the Queen Mother?" What's wrong with her? ”

Shangguan kept fiddling with his herbs, and said: "The Queen Mother has been lacking in sanity recently, haunted by nightmares every night, and she can't sleep peacefully, and the Imperial Doctor of the Tai Hospital is helpless, and Your Majesty is a very filial person, and he can't wait to support the Queen Mother with all the world." Therefore, several famous doctors from all over the world were summoned to treat the queen mother and refine medicine. I was originally traveling all over the world, but I returned to Beijing for this matter! ”

"If you do too many bad things, you will naturally be haunted by nightmares! It's just that I haven't heard of the Queen Mother feeling unwell. Murong Xun said coldly.

"This is a royal affair!" Shangguan glanced at Murong Xun, and his tone was cold, "Don't say what you said just now a second time." It's not our turn to take care of the things in the Zijin Palace! ”

"Shangguan Gongzi is very good at being alone!" Murong Xun sneered.

Shangguan Zixuan lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, the sun shot obliquely, his face was generally in the bright sunlight, generally in the shadows, for a long time, he let go and sighed and said: "Yao is my only friend in Chang'an, you are his sister, I also treat you as a sister, I don't want you to be hurt in any way, even if I know that you have a secret about Shangguan Yan, I don't want to force you." He raised his eyelids and looked at Murong Xun fixedly, "People in the world often only know the speed of their tongues for a while, and often ignore the importance of peace to people. Miss Murong, I just hope you are safe! ”

Suddenly, Shangguan Zixuan knocked on his head heavily, looked at Murong Xun with a little apology, and said, "Today is the day when Yao and we met at the White Crane Restaurant, how could I forget it!" ”

Shangguan Zixuan rushed to the White Crane Tower with Murong in a hurry. After stopping the carriage, Xiao Er came again and said, "Ye Ke is here, Murong Gongzi has been waiting for a long time!" As he spoke, he took the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

Behind the five-colored beaded curtain, Murong Yao was sitting in front of the round table in white clothes, holding a wine glass in his hand, and was pouring himself a drink. Hearing the sound, he didn't raise his eyelids, and said with a slight smile: "I kindly wanted to invite Brother Shangguan to dinner today to thank Brother Shangguan for taking in my little sister, but Brother Shangguan made me wait for more than half an hour, what is the reason?" ”

Although Murong Yao smiled, there was a murderous aura overflowing from the corners of his eyes, Shangguan only felt a chill on his back, and quickly said with a smile: "There are a lot of things today, I forgot about it for a while!" Yao, don't be angry, this meal is mine! ”

Murong Yao poured a glass of wine for Murong Xun and Shangguan Zixuan, who were seated later, and filled it for themselves, and suddenly the fragrance of an apricot blossom filled the entire private room.

Shangguan said with a bitter face: "You ordered the treasure of the town store of the White Crane Tower, Qili Xinghua, you won't be able to calculate that I will be late today, right?" You don't have to fool me so much, right? ”

Murong Xun's lips flushed, and he glanced at Shangguan Zixuan lightly, and said, "Of course I counted it!" ”

Shangguan's smile froze on his lips, his expression suddenly became serious, and he leaned over to Murong Xun's ear and said, "You really did what happened in the morning?" You...... How many times have I said it, don't meddle in my grievances with the Shangguan family, don't wade into this troubled water! ”

The smile on Murong Yao's lips became more and more brilliant, but his eyes became more and more cold, he glanced at Shangguan deeply, his voice sank, and said, "Until now, you just think that I am muddying the waters?" Do you think there is still room for reconciliation between me and the Shangguan family? Since it's a matter of time before I tear my face, why don't I make the first move, and also give a birthday gift to my friend by the way! ”

Shangguan's lips opened, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Murong Yao's dark eyes glanced at Murong Xun, who had been silent, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Do you know what kind of gift King Qin gave to Murong Mansion yesterday?" ”
