Chapter 353: The Ice Coffin's Graceful Appearance
Before Luo Mingxuan left, the emperor suddenly said: "Xuan'er, don't resent your queen mother, she didn't know that Chen Minghui was no longer the one, Lin Xiaohui, who grew up with her and took care of her, would ask for such a promise." ”
Luo Mingxuan's hands clenched slightly, and then slowly let go, but he left the palace without saying a word.
Bai Youlan found that Luo Mingxuan was a little silent after coming out of the palace, but she didn't know what was going on, she raised her eyes and looked at his expression carefully, seeing that although he was a little sad, it was not too heavy, so she knew that something should not have happened to the emperor, and she was immediately slightly relieved.
Before, Bai Youlan went to Guiyunju, where she met Ye Guanyu, the master of the Floating Shadow Xuanxuan, who had come to find her.
She didn't know how this Ye Guanyu had such well-informed news, she had just arrived at Guiyunju, and he followed closely, but it must have been from the handwriting of Yougu Pavilion.
"Pavilion Master......"
Ye Guanyu's expression was a little unnatural, the guy who was repaired by Bai Youlan last time was sent by him to protect her, but who expected to anger her!
Listening to the sentence that the man brought back, "Since the pavilion master can create the Valley Pavilion, he also has the ability to destroy it with his own hands", he was really cold, originally thought that the pavilion master had used the power of Qi Lao to create the Valley Pavilion in a short period of time, who knew that they thought it was too simple.
Facing Ye Guanyu's sneering expression, Bai Youlan didn't seem to see it, and said indifferently: "Is there news?" ”
In fact, when asking this sentence, Bai Youlan didn't have much hope, after all, Luo Mingxuan and Feng Moxi's manpower had been chasing the whereabouts of her mother, but they found nothing, and the time she handed over to Ye Guanyu was so short, how could there be any news?
Who knows, Ye Guanyu really nodded!
In an instant, a flash of brilliance crossed Bai Youlan's eyes.
Ye Guanyu put away the smile on his face, and replied seriously: "Pavilion master, the subordinates have dispersed the things ordered by the pavilion master, and the pavilion has exhausted the tracking masters, and finally lived up to the trust of the pavilion master, and in the early hours of this morning, I inquired about Qin You's whereabouts." ”
Bai Youlan raised her eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything, just waiting for his next words, Ye Guanyu's face gradually became a trace of gloom, and said: "Qin Youlan is currently in a small town twenty miles outside the capital, but there is no trace of Mrs. Ning Lu. ”
After Ye Guanyu said this, he quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he knew that what the pavilion master really cared about was not that Qin You, but Mrs. Condensation, but at this time, he actually told the pavilion master that he couldn't find Mrs. Condensation, and he didn't know what kind of consequences he would face!
Bai Youlan lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the cup of tea in her hand, and was speechless for a long time.
There was silence all around, and the silence made Ye Guanyu's forehead gradually ooze sweat, and just when he couldn't hold on and was about to kneel on the ground, he heard Bai Youlan ask lightly: "What is he doing in the town?" ”
Hearing this voice, Ye Guanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiped a cold sweat, and replied: "He is investigating some old things, which seem to be related to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
Hearing this, Bai Youlan's pupils contracted suddenly!
What is Qin You investigating, is it her birth, and what Ning Lu has been doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years, is it that he has already become suspicious, suspecting that this Ning Lu is not the other Ning Lu?
If he really went to investigate because of this suspicion, then could it be said that it was the real condensation, and her biological mother was the one who had a relationship with Qin You?
Could it be that Xiaolan will really be Qin You's child?
No!
Bai Youlan shook her head secretly, she had seen Qin You's appearance, and she hadn't heard that he was disguised, in her opinion, Xiaolan's appearance was not similar to Qin You, but there were some similarities with Bai Boning, although this similarity was only one or two points.
Rubbing her eyebrows slightly, Bai Youlan instructed Ye Guanyu a few words, so that he didn't have to pay attention to Qin You's actions, just continue to track the whereabouts of Condensation, and protect her safety.
Watching Ye Guanyu leave, Bai Youlan packed and took away some pastries from Guiyunju, and then joined Luo Mingxuan.
It's just that Bai Youlan in the carriage suddenly noticed that the direction they were traveling in was not going to the Imperial Tomb, although she had not been to the Imperial Tomb, she also knew the general direction.
Luo Mingxuan seemed to sense her doubts, closed his eyes and reached out to take her into his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "Youlan, what if...... What would you do if one of your promises indirectly killed your loved ones? ”
Hearing this, Bai Youlan frowned slightly, not knowing what he meant by asking, but raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were closed, but his eyelashes were constantly trembling, looking very uneasy, as if he was struggling with something.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, he remembered the promise that Empress An Ruo asked the emperor to "not move Chen Minghui for twenty years" before she left, could it be ......
Gently snuggled into his arms, found a comfortable position, and said: "There will be many times in a person's life, and a decision was made at that time that I will regret a lot in the future. But Luo, you have to understand that no one can foresee the future, you can only make judgments based on the situation at that time, and maybe long in the future you will understand that the choice was not very good, but maybe it was the best choice at the time. ”
Feeling as if she was saying a tongue twister, Bai Youlan frowned slightly and said: "Luo, if I remember correctly, it was the queen mother who died first, and the prince died later, and the queen mother didn't know that Chen Minghui would be mad and treat the prince to you so badly, do you understand?" ”
After a long time, Luo Mingxuan let out a soft "um", but he hugged Bai Youlan harder.
Stretching out her hand, Bai Youlan gently covered Luo Mingxuan's hand with her own hand, looking at the two hands, one big and one small, she smiled softly and said, "Luo, I will be by your side, I will always be by your side." ”
The hand trembled slightly, and held Bai Youlan's little hand in the palm of his hand with his backhand, Luo Mingxuan took her little hand and gently approached his face, and gently rubbed it on her little hand a few times.
A heart-warming force spread from Bai Youlan's palm to his face, and then slowly into his heart.
Silently reciting Bai Youlan's words, "It will always be by your side", Luo Mingxuan slowly relaxed his body.
"Youlan, the emperor did not bury the queen mother in the imperial mausoleum."
"So, are we really going to visit the Queen Mother now?"
"Hmm."
Bai Youlan asked easily, but in fact, the distress spread in an instant.
Luo Mingxuan went to the imperial mausoleum every year to "accompany" Empress An Ruo for a period of time, but after such a long time, he was cruelly told that Empress An Ruo's body was not in the imperial mausoleum.
At the same time, Luo Mingxuan's heart was thinking about another question, what he had investigated and learned about the poison of Ambilight, the antidote was only a small part, what kind of items were in the queen mother's tomb that he needed.
After a day of silence, they finally arrived at the mausoleum where Empress An Ruo was buried.
After some small twists and turns, they passed through the formation mechanism designed there and came to the mausoleum.
Although the outside is covered in silver, it can also be seen that once it is spring and summer, it will become a place of green mountains and green waters, but the inside of the mausoleum is cold and abnormal.
Bai Youlan is actually a little confused, why did she enter this mausoleum to worship her mother? It's just that she saw Luo Mingxuan's face becoming more and more silent, so she didn't say anything.
The more I walked, the colder I felt, and Bai Youlan gradually understood that this mausoleum seemed to be a big ice cellar!
No wonder before coming in, Luo Mingxuan deliberately added a thick silver fox fur cloak to her.
When the two of them walked to the end of the road and the scene in front of them came into view, Bai Youlan was slightly startled.
A huge ice coffin appeared in front of her eyes, and a woman lay quietly in the ice coffin!
The woman is very beautiful, even if she is lying in the ice coffin, she can't cover her dignified and graceful temperament, and a phoenix crown shows her identity, setting off her more luxurious, but there is no trace of tackyness.
Looking at the woman's extremely similar face to Luo Mingxuan, Bai Youlan understood that this should be Queen An Ruo!
Luo Mingxuan took Bai Youlan's hand and slowly approached Empress An Ruo.
This is his mother, and in his memory the queen mother is like this, always with a gentle and soft smile, even if he is naughty, he will not scold him.
However, why after so many years, his memory has gradually blurred, and he can't help but wonder if the person lying there quietly in front of him is really his mother?
Tears, big drops fell!
Feeling a drop of water falling on his hand, it was hot and hot, and Bai Youlan trembled slightly!
No matter how difficult it was, no matter how painful it was, she had never seen him shed a single tear, but at this time......
Lowering her eyes and looking at the tears, Bai Youlan did not raise her eyes to look at Luo Mingxuan, but gently knelt in front of Empress An Ruo's ice coffin with an extremely pious expression.
"Queen Mother, Youlan is your daughter-in-law."
Bai Youlan kowtowed lightly, and then said: "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, Youlan wishes your wish to come true." ”
Wish fulfilled......
Empress An Ruo can't rest assured that Luo Mingxuan, right? Her wish may be very simple, I hope Luo Mingxuan can be safe and happy, right?
After a pause, Bai Youlan continued: "No matter what happened before, no matter what will happen later, Youlan will be with Luo, and will take good care of Luo, we will be happy, Queen Mother, please rest assured!" ”
This time, Luo Mingxuan's body shook slightly, he gently helped Bai Youlan up, and hugged her tightly into his arms, what more could he ask for if his wife was like this!
Originally, Luo Mingxuan wanted to stay here for a while and accompany his mother, but considering that Bai Youlan's internal strength was too weak and he couldn't stand the cold here, he solemnly kowtowed to his mother and took her out of the mausoleum.
They settled down in a wooden hut next to the mausoleum, and Breeze and Lightning went to a nearby town to buy some necessities.
In the middle of the night, a figure quietly entered the mausoleum of Empress An Ruo!
