Chapter 33: Red Lotus

At the back door of Murong Mansion, a maid sneakily went out, looking back from time to time, walking extremely carefully.

After a while, she came to the Wind and Rain Building, and the guards guarding the door stopped her.

"Stop, what are you!"

The maid trembled even more, and hurriedly took out a letter and stuffed it to him.

The guard opened it and looked at her, looked at her suspiciously, and said, "Come with me." ”

The maid followed, and Peony sat on the eaves opposite the door.

After a while, the maid came out, still walking cautiously.

"Master, it seems that that generation of girls is quite hateful." Peony knelt in front of Leng Aohan and said.

"Keep watching."

"Yes."

Leng Aohan looked at this big mansion coldly, as if he was looking at an inconspicuous small building, it seems that some people are not afraid of death.

Dare to act so arrogantly at the moment, that little wild cat really has too many enemies, but compared to himself, it is still too few.

Leng Aohan covered the wound that was slowly healing, and his willingness to return to Beijing became stronger and stronger.

"Madame, bring it back." Just now the maid spoke.

When Ruan Shi heard this, he hurriedly ran forward, "How is it, can anyone see it?" ”

"Madame, don't worry, the slave and maid are careful all the way, and no one can see it."

"That's good, that's good."

Ruan patted his heart and said, it was the first time he had done this kind of thing, and he was still a little frightened.

"Madam, the slave went down first." The maid said.

"Wait, you can go back to your ancestral house in a few days, and come back later."

"Huh? Madame, what did the slave and maid do wrong? The maid asked with some surprise.

Ruan put away the things, looked at her again, and said, "You little girl, I don't want you to be too tired, don't worry, I will ask the housekeeper to give you more monthly money." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" The maid said excitedly.

"Alright, let's go back quickly."

"Yes."

The maid got the order and left, and she was very happy all the way, what did this lady buy? She thought about it and left it behind, it was naturally good to be able to go back to her ancestral house to see A-Niang.

"Mother, where are you?" Murong Wan'er knocked on the door and asked.

When Ruan heard this, it turned out to be his daughter, so he hurriedly went to open the door.

"Wan'er, come in quickly."

Ruan Shi said, and looked at Murong Wan'er's back to reassure no one.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

Murong Wan'er looked at this somewhat sneaky mother and asked with some puzzlement.

Ruan Shi couldn't care about so many images, so he took out the things he had just collected from his sleeve and handed them to Murong Wan'er.

Murong Wan'er opened it and looked at it, found that it was some powder, smelled the smell again, and looked at Ruan Shi with some excitement.

"Mother, is this a red scatter?"

Ruan Shi nodded, and then spoke: "Wan'er, if the matter is revealed, the mother can bear it alone, you must not make a sound, you know?" ”

"How could Wan'er let her mother take risks, let her daughter do this job."

Ruan Shi pulled Murong Wan'er to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said, "Silly daughter, you are so beautiful, don't do this kind of thing." ”

"Mother, Wan'er won't let you go anyway."

Ruan Shi sighed, if it weren't for Murong Zuilan's nonsense this time, would he be able to lie down in this troubled water?

But the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, how can she be in dire straits.

"Wan'er, you listen to your mother, let your mother do this, this twilight rain's vigilance will not be so strong, as long as she succeeds, she will be thrown to the tea mountain immediately."

Murong Wan'er thought that her mind was transparent enough, but she didn't expect her mother to be more meticulous than herself.

"Then it's all up to Mother."

"Okay, the girl I asked you to find is coming tomorrow, and then you can tell her about the situation, and your mother will take care of it."

"Thank you, Mother." Murong Wan'er got up and saluted and said.

Ruan looked at this daughter, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, if she was lucky enough to be the imperial concubine in the future, it would not be in vain for the efforts she had made over the years.

"Come, my mother asked the kitchenette to cook you some delicious dishes, which you may not be able to eat in Kyoto."

Murong Wan'er followed with a smile on her face, although the second prince in Kyoto would try his best to cook some Jiangnan dishes for himself, but the taste was not as good as at home.

After Dai Duyu had just taken a few sips of tea with Leng Aohan, he stayed in his grandfather's room.

Looking at his somewhat painful face, his heart was also entangled.

His grandfather doesn't know what's going on, although he said that he and he are not biological, but how can the twenty-year friendship be broken?

"Mother, this old man is too vain, and he makes up for it, I'm afraid he can't use ordinary means to diagnose and treat." Zijin said.

"How should that be?" Dai Duyu asked with consciousness.

Sometimes it's quite boring to discuss medical skills with him, and it's not too tiring to sit alone.

"Mother, do you remember the red lotus in this space?"

"Remember, do you want to say that those fallen lotus flowers can bring people back to life?"

"Mother, you're not too stupid."

"Get out!"

"Mother, don't you be so fierce? It's obviously your own ignorance......"

Dai Duyu ignored him silently, this atmosphere made Zijin a little scared, this mother won't be going crazy, right?

So he said: "Ahem, mother, let me tell you the truth, this red lotus has never seen the sun and has been absorbing the essence of moonlight, so its medicinal effect is the best." ”

Dai Duyu recalled the pool of lotus flowers that made people feel a little in a trance, and found that it was dark night when she entered it twice, which turned out to be the truth......

"Then you quickly pull one out and treat your grandfather." Dai Duyu said.

"My mother, this is a fetish, mother!"

"It's important to save people, hurry up."

Zijin found it a little difficult to communicate with her, so he went to the lotus pond to watch the moon.

"Kid, don't be tsundere, hurry up."

Dai Duyu urged, but Zijin still ignored her, and it seemed that she was going to go in person.

As soon as his mind moved, the twilight rain entered, the unchanging night and the huge full moon.

Seeing the figure of a child in the lotus pond, Dai Duyu walked up.

"Mother, you're finally here."

"What do you mean?"

Zijin looked helpless, looked at the lotus pond, and said slowly: "Mother, red lotus is a rare thing, and it is not so easy to pick and use. ”

"You're sure you know how to do it." Dai Duyu looked at him and said.

"The sound of cicadas fell, the sound of frogs rose, and a pool of red lotus was like a flame in the rain."

Dai Duyu looked at this little boy who was a little stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, let him say it himself.

"Mother, the red lotus is more enchanting than the white lotus, so ......"

"So what?"

"You need a woman's body fragrance to smear them before they can be used for medicinal purposes."

"Women's body fragrance? Where do I find it? ”

Zijin shook his head and looked at Dai Duyu, and said, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

"Me? Make no mistake......"

"Mother, no one can enter this space except you."

"Okay......"

"Mother, it's actually quite simple, you just need to bathe in the pool in the middle of the pool."

"It's not easy."

Dai Duyu looked at this pretentious Zijin, and felt a little helpless.

"Mother, the water in that pool is colder than the Tianshan Mountains, take care." After Zijin finished speaking, he ran away.

Dai Duyu's mind is empty, colder than the Tianshan Mountains? How cold is that......

For the sake of my grandfather, I gritted my teeth, took off my coat, and walked towards the lotus pond, stretched out my feet, "Ahhh

Since they're all here, let's just finish this way.

One step is cool, peel off this lotus leaf, the soil under your feet can't wait to stick your feet firmly.

Dai Duyu silently scolded her mother in her heart, and the surroundings were very quiet, giving people a bleak feeling.

After taking a few breaths, Dai Duyu trembled and moved forward, seeing that he was about to reach the small pool, and Dai Duyu was already frozen.

Hold on, you can, it's just cold water!

I felt my feet step into a puddle of water all around, and the biting ice water made Dai Duyu almost faint.

"Mother, hold on, just take a bath." Zijin's roar could be heard in the distance.

The corners of Dai Duyu's mouth twitched, she took off her clothes, gritted her teeth, and squatted her whole body into the water, feeling like she was pierced into her body by countless awls......

After a while, the red lotus in the pool began to emit red light, and Dai Duyu almost couldn't hold on, at this time, the water temperature slowly rose, and Dai Duyu realized that this would be easy to have accidents.

Just like taking a cold shower and not being able to flush it with hot water immediately, Dai Duyu hugged his clothes and ran out quickly, which was both embarrassing and funny.

When he got ashore, he lay on the grass, exhaling heavily, looking at the bright moon, Dai Duyu didn't want to move anymore.

"Mother, look, your red lotus has been purified." Zijin screamed.

Dai Duyu glanced at it and fell asleep.

Consciousness slowly returned, and Murong Lan looked at this niece who was sleeping on the side of his bed, and couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

She has lived for decades, and her favorite daughter is her mother, but unfortunately, she died of illness and died of illness.

"How is the old man?" Leng Aohan gently pushed open the door and asked.

I haven't seen the rain come out, so I can't help but be a little worried, and I came in unconsciously.

Murong Lan saw this noble man, although he didn't know him, he should not have a low status.

"Childe is?"

"Leng Aohan."

"Leng Shizi, sit down quickly." Murong Lan said.

"You're welcome, old man."

Leng Aohan slowly sat next to Dai Duyu, looking at the sleeping person, and wanted to laugh.

"Can the prince grant the old man's request?" Murong Lan asked a little lacking in breath.

"Old man, please speak."

"If I'm not there one day, take care of this child for me."

Murong Lan took out a token from the small compartment next to the pillow and motioned for Leng Aohan to take it.

"This is my secret property, and no one knows about it except for a few old cronies."

Leng Aohan was shocked, it turned out that the first floor of Kyoto was actually the handiwork of this old man.
