"Isn't that good? As long as you are willing, this palace can let you serve the Queen Mother, so that you can seek a way out for your father. Luo Ge didn't understand Yun Lan's thoughts. Because she thinks some of her father's statements are true.

"Nope. The slave disagreed. Yun Lan shook her head, "The slave's father explained a few words to the slave alone before leaving. ”

"What?"

"The slave's father asked the slave to serve the ladies in the harem no matter which palace she was in. And he said that he didn't need to rely on slaves and maids to work hard to raise and lower his official position. After all, in the Great Jin Kingdom, the harem cannot interfere in politics. If there are too many politicians, it is not good for the slaves and maids to serve. So the slave's father told the maidservant not to listen to her mother. ”

"Then tell me, what are your thoughts after entering the palace?" Mu Ziqin still wanted to know Yun Lan's own thoughts.

"Slave maid......" Yun Lan hesitated a little.

"Just tell the truth." Luo Ge saw Yun Lan's hesitation.

Yun Lan thought for a moment, and then said, "If you tell the truth, in fact, the slave maid was quite scared when she first entered the palace. Because according to the position of the harem concubine, Niangniang should be the most powerful person in the entire harem concubines besides the queen. But what the slave didn't expect was that the mother was actually different. ”

"Oh?" Luo Ge raised an eyebrow, "What does it look like?" ”

"Niangniang has nobility but is not domineering. Treat people and things with majesty, but not pampered and arrogant. This is rare for other mothers, after all, to achieve such a high position. According to other women, it will ......" Yun Lan's words were not finished.

Luo Ge helped her take it: "It will definitely be arrogant and arrogant, and then in the entire palace, even if you walk or go out, it must be so horizontal." It's a pity that Hongu is not such a person. ”

"Hmm." Yun Lan nodded, "Niangniang is even a little stricter than the others. ”

"Isn't it as strict as it should be?" Luo Ge was curious.

"For the slaves and maids in the palace, it should be harsh, but for the concubines in the harem, harshness is not necessary."

"Why do you think that being strict with the concubines in the palace is unnecessary?"

"Why are harem mothers all harsh? Shouldn't it be the king's favor and lawlessness? ”

After listening to what she said, Luo Ge smiled. She said: "There are many truths in the world, you don't know. But I can tell you one of these things that you don't know. No matter what country she is in, as long as the concubine is pampered and arrogant and tries to participate in politics in vain, then her result will be a dead end. So, it's impossible not to be harsh when you say it. Even harsher than it is now. ”

"I see." Yun Lan nodded understandingly.

Her cute behavior made Luo Ge chuckle and said, "You shouldn't have listened to Wan Jinfeng's words, right?" ”

Yun Lan blushed and said: "There are many such sayings in the hometown of slaves and maids. I just didn't think of it...... It couldn't be further from the truth. ”

"It's even worse. It's just that you don't know. Luo Ge patted her shoulder comfortingly.

In this way, the two chatted all the way to the Imperial Garden. At night, the garden is particularly gloomy because of the dense woods and bamboo gardens. Looking at the darkness in front of her, Yun Lan retreated, she wanted to go back at the moment. Who knows, but was pulled by Luo Ge.

Luo Ge said: "Are you afraid? Luo Ge felt the movement in his hands.

Yun Lan nodded and said, "Niangniang, it's terrifying to look at the Imperial Garden like this. And...... The light in the distance was like a ghost fire. ”

"So you're scared of that." Luo Ge nodded understandingly, "You follow me, otherwise you can see a different scenery in a while." ”

"What kind of scenery?"

"Do you remember the pond in the Imperial Garden?" Luo Ge said as he slowly pulled Yun Lan forward, "There is a rare fish in that pond, they glow at night, and at night you can also see the glow-in-the-dark stones inlaid near the pond. ”

The beautiful scenery was in front of her, listening to Luo Ge's description, Yun Lan yearned for it, and followed her into the imperial garden.

Sure enough, after walking through a quiet path, the pond suddenly came into view. Everything is beautiful under the moonlight.

Seeing the picture of the smoking gun, Yun Lan let out an exclamation in amazement: "I didn't expect there to be such a place in this palace." ”

"This place is exactly what you saw before. The only difference is that you've never seen it at night. ”

"How did the lady know?" When she said this, Yun Lan obviously found that she had exceeded the rules.

However, Luo Ge did not blame him, but looked up at the moonlight and said thoughtfully: "This is ...... The king told the palace. At that time, the main palace was still young, and it had not yet wandered in all directions. The king is a prince who has wandered all over the world, and he will always bring a lot of strange things to show to the palace, and at the same time he will tell a lot of stories with the palace. In this story, the night view of this imperial garden is included. ”

"What kind of story is that?" Yun Lan asked curiously.

"This story is a legend. This pond was originally a nameless mountain spring, with a beautiful name called Moonlight. The villagers who used to live here have such a legend. This was originally the bath of the sacred beast Bai Ze under the seat of the god of night travel. Because it soaks in this pond all year round, it attracts many fish that glow at night, and these fish have a nice name: North Styx. The reason why it is called the North Underworld is because the divine beast Bai Ze comes from the north. And when this Northern Darkness grows up, it will transform into a Kunpeng. ”

"So the fish in this pond will become the Kunpeng in the Mountains and Seas in the future?"

"Yes." It was Mu Ziqin who answered her.

Neither of them expected Mu Ziqin's sudden words, and when they were about to salute, they were organized by Mu Ziqin.

"You said Kunpeng just now?" Mu Ziqin turned his head to look at Luo Ge on the side.

Luo Ge nodded, stood beside him, and said, "Yes." I remember when I was a child you used to say that there was a beautiful pond in your palace, and at night it was different from other ponds, it would shine with light, and a faint white light represented a northern fish. After a certain amount of return, the Northern Stygian Fish will transform into a Kunpeng. ”

"Yes." Mu Ziqin didn't look at her, but looked at the pond and said, "It is said that there is a Northern Underworld in this pond, but it has never transformed into a Kunpeng. ”

"Probably because you haven't seen it when Kunpeng transforms."

"Possibly. After all, when I was young, I spent half of my time in Master's bamboo house every year. After coming back to inherit the throne, he spent more time in Weiyang Palace. If there is a real transfiguration, then it is impossible to see it. ”

Suddenly, the conversation between the two went back to the way it had been.

"That's right. At that time, seeing you half of the time every month was a blessing for me, who faced Master's demands every day. Every time you come, you bring different gifts and different stories. ”

"Yes. At that time, I would find someone to collect strange stories every year. Of course, I'm sure you haven't seen it. I remember one year, I injured my arm because of sword practice, so I couldn't go out for about half a year. At that time, I went to Ziheng and asked him to take the people of the secret guard to search for different stories in various places. At the same time, let Ziheng bring a lot of novel gadgets to you. Now that counts, you've got more than a hundred, right? ”

Luo Ge nodded with a smile and said, "Those things were put away by the master, and then they were gradually forgotten." ”

Mu Ziqin smiled indulgently and said, "I remember the first time I brought you gifts, Master talked to me alone, and he said that for you, these gifts are just playthings, so I don't like you to be trapped by these gifts." ”

"Is the plaything demoralized?" Luo Ge asked rhetorically, "I've never heard Master mention it like this. It's just that every time I talk, I am told not to get too obsessed with these things, otherwise I will be trapped. ”

Sure enough, in Master's opinion, studying medicine is to have no distractions. And if you get trapped in these distractions, it's torture. Mu Ziqin is very aware of all this.

"When you say this, I miss us so much. There is no strife, just the complex knowledge of the scholars day after day in the master's bamboo house. ”

"Not only you, but I miss you too." Mu Ziqin sighed softly, "Now it seems that we can't go back to these things." If the Master ...... after that"

Before Mu Ziqin could say anything, she was stopped by Luo Ge, and she said, "You have to have confidence in my medical skills." Even Master has faith in me. ”

"But ......" Mu Ziqin still wanted to say, but he gave up again after a change of thought, and he said, "Since this is the case, you can wait." Hope your antidote really works. When the time comes...... When Master woke up, I asked someone to get the medicine. ”

"Hmm."

"How long will this reliever of yours last?"

"If everything is just right, and the poison can achieve its effect after fusion, then Master will wake up tomorrow. If not...... It will take longer. ”

"Longer?" Mu Ziqin was worried, "Will it affect the spread of the entire poison?" ”

Luo Ge shook his head and said, "No." Because the most fundamental antidote is to inhibit toxicity. All that matters is Gu Xi's blood, and his blood is the key to detoxification. So as long as Master can wake up and we can get a copy of the rest of the antidote, that's enough. Don't worry about anything else. ”

Mu Zi sighed and stopped talking. The two of them waited for dawn like this.

By the time the sky turned slightly pale, Luo Ge had already fallen asleep on Mu Ziqin's shoulder, and the palace maids and attendants behind the two of them were like frosted eggplants, unable to cheer up at all.

Luo Ge, who was asleep, was woken up by Mu Ziqin on the side. Originally, Mu Ziqin planned to let Yun Lan take his place, but who would have thought that as soon as he moved, Luo Ge woke up.

"Are you awake?" Mu Ziqin asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Luo Ge moved tiredly, and then said, "It's almost time." When I get back and get ready, I can feed the medicine to Master. ”
