Chapter 84: The Struggle for the Throne (4)

Yan Li got up and walked to Yan Ziyue's side, pulled Yan Ziyue to his side, touched Yan Ziyue's head and said: "Yue'er, you must not act casually in the future, you need to think carefully."

"Father, what if I can't do it?"

"Patience... If you can't bear it, just leave as soon as possible, you are still young, and many things are not in control of what you want."

"Oh...", although Yan Ziyue nodded on the table, but in his heart he still thought that if people can't be casual, wouldn't it be very boring, if our casualness is harmless to others, can we listen to our hearts.

"Mrs. Su, what you said, you should do it, let Mrs. Su arrange", Su Li looked at Su Ke and arched his hand.

"Well... Let's go find Master Ran."

"It's so late, isn't it inappropriate"?

"It's okay, I've already met Master Ran when I came, and if you do, we'll go straight to him."

"It's okay..."Yan Li looked back at Yan Ziyue, and was about to speak when Yan Ziyue took the lead.

"Father-in-law, I'll go too", Yan Ziyue looked at Yan Li's expression after speaking, knowing that he didn't want to agree, so he continued: "Father-in-law, if you don't agree, I will also follow, I know where Master Ran is."

Seeing that Yan Ziyue couldn't stop him, he had to nod and agree: "It's okay to go, don't talk much, and don't be disrespectful, you know"?

"I know, Yue'er must listen to her father-in-law", Yan Ziyue said and rubbed her arm coquettishly.

Su Ke saw it in his eyes and smiled lightly, this princess Ziyue is a weakness for Zhan Li, fortunately, this princess Ziyue is smart and alert, and her martial arts are not bad, but I hope that there will be no bigger mess in Xiaoyao.

Xiangguo Temple presided over the Zen Temple, and it was Qinghai who opened the door.

"Master Su, Master Su, Master Yue, Master Presiding Master has been waiting for a long time", Qinghai said with his hands folded.

The three of them entered the courtyard, and Qinghai led them into the door of Master Ran's room and knocked lightly twice.

"Come in", the voice of the master was deep and deep, and he knew that his internal strength was deep when he heard it.

Qinghai gently pushed open the door and let the three of them in, while he turned back to the courtyard and waited in the courtyard with Su Yi.

Dressed in a yellow silk brocade robe and draped in a robe, Master Ran sat in front of the long case with a peaceful face, and motioned to the three of them: "Three, please sit down."

The three of them sat down cross-legged in front of the long case, and through the oil lamp on the long case, they could see clearly that Master Ran had a half-read heart mantra placed in front of the case.

"Master Abbot, visiting late at night, there are many disturbances", said Shi Li.

Master Zhiran did not answer, but poured a cup of green tea for each of the three of them, and said, "The poor monk's tea is good, let's taste it first."

"Sure enough, it's good tea, but it's a little lighter," Su Ke said after taking a sip.

Hearing this, he smiled slightly, looked at Yan Li, and said, "What does the donor think?"

"It's just right, the shade is at ease in people's hearts", Yan Li replied with a small sip.

After hearing this, he laughed and said, "Donor, you can see it through."

"Don't dare, Master Abbot, it's just that I don't care about drinking tea."

"What about you, little benefactor"?

Yan Ziyue didn't expect Master Ran to ask herself, and after a glance, she had to answer truthfully: "Master, I was so thirsty just now, so I drank it in one gulp, and I didn't feel any taste, but I knew that my thirst was quenched."

"Oh...", looked at Yan Ziyue, nodded and smiled: "Then the poor monk will refill you with another cup", and poured it again for Yan Ziyue after speaking.

"Thank you, master", Yan Ziyue didn't care about anything else, picked it up and drank it in a big gulp, put down the cup and said, "Sweet... Let's have another drink."

"Okay...", Master Ran naturally poured it on Yan Ziyue again.

"Thank you, master", Yan Ziyue picked up the cup this time and just took a small sip.

"Abbot, this is the high priest of the Fire Phoenix Country."

looked at Yan Li, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he said: "The first time the poor monk saw the donor, he felt that the donor was by no means an ordinary person, it turned out to be the high priest of the fire phoenix."

"I don't dare to be a teacher", I bowed my head and said.

"The High Priest is a compassionate man, and he has compassion for all living beings in the world, which is very valuable."

"It's a shame to be praised by the master so absurdly."

Master Ran poured another cup of tea for each of the three of them, looked at Su Ke, and then turned to Yan Li and said, "High Priest, can you think about it?"

Zhan Li was silent for a moment and said: "Zhan Li has thought about it, do your best."

"That's good... The poor monk didn't say much", Master Ran drank a few sips of tea, looked at Yan Ziyue, and continued: "High priest, you and I are familiar at first sight, it is a great blessing for the poor monk to be able to become friends with the high priest.

He didn't know what he meant for a while, but he felt that Master Ran seemed to mean something else.

"Tomorrow, the poor monk will do what Mrs. Su said."

"Old man, thank you Abbot", Su Ke became excited for a while.

"Mrs. Su, you and I have known each other for half a lifetime, your thoughts are clear to the poor monks, but you can't force everything, let it be."

The abbot discussed with Yu Li and Su Ke how to win the trust of the Emperor and agreed on everything, and an hour had passed.

Master Zhiran got up and sent Su Ke outside the gate of the courtyard, and asked Qinghai to send Su Ke out of the temple.

"Abbot, take your leave, the master should rest early", Yan Li pulled Yan Ziyue out of the hospital.

"It's okay, the poor monk will send the high priest back," he said, taking a few steps.

"I can't help it, Abbot, we can go back by ourselves."

"The moonlight is just right today, so let's enjoy the moon with the high priest."

When he heard the meaning of Ran's words, he stopped refusing and walked along the winding path in the temple with Ran. Ran told him a lot about the Emperor, the Emperor's personality, the Emperor's preferences, and some things about this blessing ceremony. Yan Ziyue followed, listened carefully, and became more and more convinced that the Emperor was by no means a good stubble, all of this seemed to be the conspiracy of that Zhong Taishi, but I always felt that there was a feeling of praying mantis fluttering cicadas and yellow finches behind, but it was just a hidden cloud and mist, and it was not real for a while.

The three of them walked to the front of the courtyard where Zhan Li lived, looked at Zhan Li and said: "High priest, tomorrow will be the same as when you came to the temple, if it is really inconvenient in the future, it is also expedient."

"It's... Thanks to Master Ran for the reminder, I wrote it down."

"Hmm... The poor monk said goodbye", the master said and jumped into the night.

"Wow... Master Ran's martial arts are really good", Yan Ziyue looked at the place where Ran's figure disappeared and said.

"Yue'er...", Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue, at this time there was a state of mind, it was not good to say, but he really felt it, so he pulled Yan Ziyue into his arms and said softly: "Yue'er, it's okay for me to send you back to the fire phoenix tomorrow"?

"It's not good, I won't go back, if I want to go back, I will go back with my father-in-law", Yan Ziyue knew what Zhan Li was thinking, and refused.

"Yue'er...", Yan Li knew that Yan Ziyue was already old, and he was still very stubborn, and once he decided, he would not change, so he had to instruct: "Okay, I promised Yue'er that she would be cautious in everything, and Yue'er also promised me that she would not be rash in the future, and she would always protect herself."

Yan Ziyue nodded and agreed, firstly, she didn't want to worry about Zhan Li, and secondly, she wanted to protect herself so that she could share her worries.

"Father-in-law, in fact, my martial arts are not bad, there are some things, you can leave it to me, I promise that I will not be willful, I will definitely think twice."

"Okay...", Yan Li hugged Yan Ziyue tighter.

This picture is a little ambiguous in anyone's eyes, but the two parties don't feel it at all, as if all this is a natural thing, allowing emotions to invade the two soft hearts, ignoring the worldly vision and morality.

Lingcang Pavilion of Muhua Palace in Qiongyuan, between two not very strong mangrove trees, there is a hammock woven of fine brocade, the man who is shocked and evil lies in the hammock, looking at the night sky where the stars shine, the starlight falls into his bottomless eyes and immediately loses its light, holding a red leaf in his hand and blowing it to his mouth, the timbre is high and low and long into its own melody.

"Brother Jiu, you haven't slept yet, what are you thinking"? Xiao Huang rubbed his eyes and looked up at Xiao Yandao in the hammock.

"I want you to take care of it...", Xiao Yan replied lazily.

"Oh... Then what kind of song did you just blow, it's very good", Xiao Huang was interested, picked up a red leaf that fell to the ground, wiped it, put it to his mouth and tried it, but it didn't sound.

"It's just fun, you go to sleep", Xiao Yan raised the red leaves high, blocking the starry sky in front of him.

"I don't..., Brother Jiu, I want you to sleep with me", Xiao Huang had a coquettish taste.

"Are you afraid to sleep alone?" Xiao Yan raised his head and glanced at Xiao Huangdao.

"Isn't it"? Xiao Huang said very unconfidently.

"Not? Then you're going to sleep alone?"

"I...", Xiao Huang blushed for a while, looking very aggrieved.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Huang's appearance and compromised: "Okay... Come up", he said, holding out a hand to Xiao Huang.

Seeing this, Xiao Huang grabbed Xiao Yan's hand with both hands, and Xiao Yan lifted Xiao Huang to the hammock with a skill.

Xiao Huang was excited for a while, so he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't step on it and fell down towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan made a backhand, pushed Xiao Huang aside and said, "Be quiet, it's time to collapse in a while."

Xiao Huang was lying on Xiao Yan's side, looking at his brother who looked so beautiful that he didn't look like a human, he was very proud, of course, his black belly and cold character were not like humans, and he was deeply affected, and sometimes he hoped that someone would come to subdue this brother, but if this was the case, his heart was also very entangled.

Xiao Yan originally lingered in his mind, but just now, Xiao Huang remembered the kiss with Yan Ziyue before, and the blood in his whole body boiled for a while, and he tried his best to tear the picture in his mind, did he really dislike women, and he actually had feelings for men. In another year, it will be fifteen, and then there will be palace maids with good posture to teach men and women, and then the mother concubine will also arrange a girl for herself.

"Damn...", Xiao Yan couldn't help but scold, not scolding others but scolding himself, what are you thinking, you actually want that wild boy, is it really abnormal.

"Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you"?

"Nothing, why haven't you slept yet"? Xiao Yan's tone was obviously impatient.

"I can't sleep," Xiao Huang whispered weakly.

"Close your eyes, don't talk, and fall asleep naturally after a while".

"Oh...", Xiao Huang felt that since Brother Yue appeared, Brother Jiu had become more moody.
