Chapter 168: The Stone with Blood
"Phew!" A pain came from the calf, Yun Yan slowly got up, lifted the hem of the skirt and took a look, only to see a little blood spilling out of the calf.
Next to it was a stone the size of a palm, the size of a palm, and the edges and corners had been stained red with blood.
"Damn the stone, did I provoke you? How could I be so unlucky! She angrily counted the stones, carefully removed her shoes and socks, and lifted the hem of her trousers to examine the wound.
There was a shallow wound about an inch on the calf next to the bone, and the blood was still flowing, Yun Yan reached out and groped in his sleeve, and wanted to bandage it with a handkerchief, but there was nothing there, so he remembered that he had just thrown it away after being used by himself.
"Alas!" She sighed, picked up a sock she took off and bandaged the wound briefly, then put down her trouser legs, put on her shoes, picked up a thick branch from the grass next to her as a crutch, and limped in the direction where Xiao Lingran left.
After she left, a man in black floated down from a large tree, bent down to pick up the bloody stone, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and kicked it into his arms.
In the palace, Xiao Ruoran and Xuan Qingzheng were talking about the affairs of the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
"That concubine wanted to harm others, but after all, she still harmed herself, but fortunately we have to be on guard!" Xuan Qing said proudly.
Xiao Ruoran said lightly: "It's just a cold palace!" ”
"What? Do you think there's room for her to turn over? Xuan Qing stroked his big white beard and asked Xiao Ruoran rhetorically.
"Is it impossible?" Xiao Ruoran raised an eyebrow at him.
"Guess?" Xuan Qing turned his head to look at him, pretending to be mysterious.
Xiao Ruoran stared at him for a long time, and then smiled: "The master won't go all the way just to tell the apprentice about the ending of a concubine, right?" What's more, even if you don't say it, the disciples will know sooner or later! ”
"Zhang Yuan!" He turned and shouted.
The door opened, and Zhang Yuan walked in: "What does the prince command?" ”
Xuanqing immediately stepped forward to stop him, pointed at Xiao Ruoran, and then said to him: "He shouted and played, it's none of your business, you go out first!" ”
"Shouting and playing?" Zhang Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Xiao Ruoran incredulously.
Xiao Ruoran gave him a look and ordered: "The Taoist chief is a little drunk, you go and make a pot of tea and sober him up!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Yuan turned around and snickered and walked out.
"Hey...... You kid ......" Xuanqing stroked his beard with one hand and pointed at Xiao Ruoran's nose with the other, and he didn't know what to say, and finally said in a deflated manner, "Forget it, I don't care about you!" Let me tell you the right thing, the old emperor has decided to pass on the throne to the crown prince, Long Zichen, and he will abdicate to become the emperor, and the enthronement ceremony is scheduled for fifteen days later! ”
He glanced at the sky, and then said: "At this time, the invitation letter from the Shenlong Kingdom should go to the imperial study, and there is good news, your senior brother's daughter-in-law is quite interested in Yun Yan, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, after hearing Long Zichen say that her marriage was rejected, so she wants to see her daughter when she is full moon, I won't have dinner here with you, I have to go into the palace and talk to the emperor about this matter!" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Ruoran to speak, he flicked his sleeves and swaggered out.
Seeing Xuanqing's figure disappear outside the door, Xiao Ruoran frowned and said to herself: "I'm afraid that Long Zichen wants to see her, right?" ”
"Lord Wang, the tea you asked for is here!" Zhang Yuan came in from outside, still holding two cups of tea in his hand, and when he saw that Xuanqing was not there, he asked, "Huh!" What about the Taoist Chief? ”
"He's gone!"
"Then this tea ......"
"Is there any news from the Hidden Star and the Hidden Moon?" Xiao Ruoran suddenly asked.
Zhang Yuan replied: "Back to the prince, the hidden star has been waiting outside for a long time!" ”
"Let him in!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yuan walked out with tea.
After a while, Yin Xing hurriedly came in and brought something wrapped in a handkerchief to Xiao Ruoran.
Xiao Ruoran opened it and saw that it was a bloody stone.
