In fact, Gongsun Lan also knew that for everyone in the Gongsun clan, it was naturally good that she could bring benefits to the family. If not, the Gongsun clan has nothing to lose. Even if something happens to her, it won't have much impact on the Gongsun family.

But Gongsun Lan will let them know a little bit about what their existence means to the Gongsun family! "The third sister's illness, Wansheng's predecessors already have a charter, and this trip just happened to find a few rare medicinal materials together, and it will take a while to refine the elixir. When Lan'er returns, everything must be solved. ”

The old lady looked at her with a complicated expression, but she couldn't say anything else for a while, she could only sigh in her heart that the person in front of her was a strange woman who was rare in a thousand years, and even she subconsciously had to deal with it carefully. "Be careful."

……

Cui Yun had a heavy dark green under his eyes, sitting under the swing frame in a daze, Yan Hong's face appeared in his mind from time to time, and his mind was complicated.

Since returning to Cui's house, she has tried her best to forget the identity of "Tang Nian", but every time she sees Yan Hong, she can't help but recall that humiliating past. was treated as a living person by Yan Hui, bullied and imprisoned by Ji Erlan, and was thrown away by Yan Hong as a mud under his feet......

But whenever Yan Hong came to please her, she knew the other party's intentions, but she still couldn't help but shake her heart and couldn't help herself.

Now, the Cui family plans to make her a side concubine for the prince like the East Palace......

The maidservant Dieshuang came in from outside the courtyard, held the box in her hand to her, and said, "Yan Gongzi is really good to Miss, and he sent something to Miss." ”

"What is it?" Cui Yun's tone was very disdainful, but his eyes couldn't help but look over.

Dieshuang covered the jealousy between her eyebrows and eyes, and said with a smile: "This is the new lipstick from Fanxiangfang a few days ago, the color is clear and beautiful, warm and moist, not thick or bright, and it is called Yurong." Yan Gongzi said that you don't like those deep and charming colors, and when you see this, you feel that it is very suitable for Miss. ”

Cui Yun glanced at it, and if it was really as she said, she couldn't help but ripple in her heart, Yan Hong really knew her. "Take it in."

Dieshuang thought to herself, if Yan Gongzi could treat her like this, she would be willing to die! When she saw Cui Yun pretending to be cold, she felt disgusted. But as a slave, she can't help but please each other. So he went into the inner room and put the lipstick and walked back to her, saying, "Miss has a bad complexion, did you dream again last night?" The slave will rub it for you, right? ”

"Hmm."

Seeing Cui Yun agree, Dieshuang walked around behind her, put her fingers on both sides of her eyebrows and gently rubbed them. said intentionally or unintentionally: "The house has already begun to prepare for Miss's family affairs." ”

Hearing the unfamiliar and familiar word of family affairs, Cui Yun looked slightly stunned. Although she is a side concubine, a woman who can become a prince, even if it is just an ordinary concubine, there are countless people fighting for their heads, right? Just like the Cui family at this time, there are already a few young ladies who don't like her.

But in her heart, there was a faint resistance.

With a wave of Butterfly's hand, she stood up and walked into the room. The Xiangfei-colored silk is loosely held between her arms, taking advantage of the plain skirt, which is particularly charming and lazy. She sat down in front of the window, stretched out her hand and gently played with the peony petals in front of her, and asked casually, "Have you ever seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Dieshuang replied: "The slave maid has seen it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Young Master have often been in contact with each other, and they have been to the mansion. ”

He ...... How is it? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince of a country, is naturally not comparable to ordinary people."

Cui Yun knew that it was impossible for her to say that the prince was bad, so she lost the interest in asking again. Dieshuang couldn't wait for her to marry the prince, and said: "Although His Royal Highness the prince has only seen the portrait of the young lady, he fell in love with you at first sight, and he also made a special trip to the craftsman to make a kite to relieve the boredom of the young lady, which is really rare!" The slave maid had never heard of such a hard time before, who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had worked so hard for! ”

Cui Yun heard her say this, and couldn't help but look at the kite hanging on the wall, and the pink and white cloth was painted with flowers and birds, which was extremely delicate and gorgeous. It is said that it was painted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.

Dieshuang saw her eyes confused, and then said: "This kite is the only one in the world, Miss is really a blessing." ”

His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to do such a trivial thing for her, and Cui Yun is not unhappy. Such a high-minded man treats her gently, and even makes her feel like she is being held in the palm of her hand. It's just that she doesn't have much joy.

"Miss, Young Master Yan is here."

Someone outside the door reported it, Cui Yun immediately got up, and then felt that he couldn't wait, so he walked to the front of the case stiffly, and only went out to see Yan Hong after a partial note.

Yan Hong stood in the courtyard, not displeased, and said, "Yun'er, I'll take you to see a good show." ”

Cui Yun raised her eyebrows when she heard this, the "good show" that Yanhong said would naturally not be a play sung by a servant. "What's the show?"

"You'll know ...... when you go"

……

An autumn rain and a cold, the red maple in the mountain behind Sanqingguan was stained with rain and dew, and it was even more like blood. Lingwu lay monk took two medicine boys, slowly descended the mountain in the faint low chanting of the "Tongxuan True Sutra", and went to Nangong's house to meet his two disciples.

Among them, the girl carrying a small bamboo basket was only six or seven years old, raised her innocent and white little face, and said with a smile: "Master, are Senior Brother Su Yu and Senior Sister Su Gu not leaving to return to Yasukuni this time?" Won't I be able to see my brothers and sisters every day? ”

The Lingwu monk looked at her with disgust and said, "Xiao Hui'er's homework has been done?" ”

The girl's big eyes were full of agility, and she said, "Master, rest assured, all the herbs in the "Materia Medica" can be recognized by Hui'er!" ”

"In that case, the teacher will allow you to go to your brother and sister after the morning class every day."

"Really? Master is the best! ”

The boy next to him hurriedly said, "Master, I'm going too." ”

Before the Lingwu monk could speak, Hui'er took out the senior sister's shelf and said, "Little junior brother, your homework hasn't been completed yet, so you can't go!" ”

The Lingwu monk looked at them dotingly, but his complexion suddenly changed!

A few "whoosks"! Several cold rays of light suddenly pierced out from the red maple, and the clear dew drops on the maple leaves were shaken by the cold killing intent, bouncing and falling into the dirt, disappearing. With his keen hearing and reactions, the Spiritual Enlightenment Monk protected the two disciples and dodged them.

She looked around, but around her was a mountain trail covered with fallen leaves, and she was also some distance away from Sanqingguan. She looked at the five black-clothed killers who came out of the forest, and her heart trembled: "Who are you?" ”

The man in black covered his face with a cloth scarf, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his eyes didn't show any emotion, as if the three masters and apprentices were just a few useless things. When the Enlightened lay saw that they had no intention of opening their mouths, they knew that they were in danger today. She drew the saber at her waist, and her hands trembled a little.

This is the sword given to her by Senior Brother Wansheng when she became a lay disciple of Sanqingguan, but although she is proficient in medical skills, she is very shallow in martial arts. There was not much resistance to the fierce attack that followed, and after a while, the snow-white Dao robe on his body was dyed blood red.

"Master!" Hui'er was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly, but the Lingwu monk knew that he would not be able to escape death today, so he used all his strength to break free from a gap and push the two disciples out of the distance. "Run!"

"Master......" Hui'er was full of tears, she had always been smart, she knew that this was a fatal moment, and knew that it was just a burden for her and her little junior brother to stay here, so she hurriedly grabbed the boy's hand and strode forward. However, the boy was too young, and at this time he was so frightened that he fell there and cried under the tug.

Hui'er rushed forward a few steps by inertia, and hurriedly turned around to help him, but saw a man in black snort coldly, turned over, and raised the long sword, slashing in front of the boy!

The blood line flew high, Hui'er was splashed all over her face, the scarlet bright red blood flowed down her cheeks, hot and burning, she watched in horror as the boy fell to the side along the force of the blade, and screamed bitterly: "Little junior brother! ”

When the Lingwu monk heard Hui'er's screams, he turned around and saw such a situation, and his heart ached like a knife. She struggled to catch up and stabbed the man in black in the back with a sword: "Hui'er, run!" ”

Hui'er cried, stumbled and ran towards Sanqingguan, never daring to look back, this is the life that the master gave her in exchange for her life!

One of the men in black was about to chase after him, when a voice suddenly came from the forest, saying, "There's no need to chase, it's better to let that little girl report a message to Wansheng Lao'er in person." ”

Hearing this, the Lingwu monks turned around, looking at the woods with tears in their eyes, their hearts became heavier and heavier, they were actually going for the senior brother! "What the hell are you plotting?"

But the people in the forest did not want to say much to her, but said, "Do it." ”

The Spiritual Enlightenment lay bruised all over his body, leaning helplessly on the wet trunk of the tree, the cold spreading from his back to the bottom of his heart......

In the woods, Yan Hong saw the Lingwu layman's eyes wide, and he fell in a pool of blood, turned around and asked Cui Yun beside him with a smile: "Yun'er, do you like it?" ”

Cui Yun glanced at him, crazy pleasure flashed in his eyes, and said, "I'm bothering you, I naturally like to watch such a good show." ”

Yan Hong turned to face her, stretched out his slender fingers to lightly pick Cui Yun's chin, picked up the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "If you want to take revenge on someone, killing her directly is not the best way, you have to kill all the people around her one by one, so that she can feel endless pain." ”

Cui Yunliu raised her eyebrows, gently brushed Yan Hong's fingers away, and said, "So, you are going to save Gongsun Lan's life after all?" ”

"Yun'er, is this jealous?" Yan Hong's peerless face was full of demons at this moment, just like the bewitching technique of the thousand-year-old fox spirit, which made Cui Yun dizzy for a while. He looked at Cui Yun's eyes in a trance for a while, and said, "No, I'm keeping it for Yun'er." ”

Cui Yun didn't expect him to say this, and finally showed a smile, turned around and walked to the carriage, and said, "Then I'll wait and see!" ”

The last vestiges of autumn have fallen, and all that remains is the coldness of the slightly drooping night, Yan Hong looked at Cui Yun who was walking in a curly manner, slowly put away his smile, turned over his horse, and walked down the mountain.
