The sun gradually converged with a dazzling light, the original cloudless sky was dyed with a faint golden yellow, and now just after the moon, Dongyu is also considered to be completely autumn, and there is nothing in the daytime, but it is close to dusk without the care of the warm sun, and it is a little cooler.

Le Ran was urgently summoned from the medicine house, but he didn't expect to stay outside for this hour, so the autumn was cold, and it soaked through the skin invaded by the thin clothes.

An inadvertent shiver had not subsided, and suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and when he looked up, it was Yu Zhuo who had come back from an errand, and he didn't stop too much when he passed by her, he was already wearing a cloak on his body at this time, and there was still one hanging in his bent arm, and he was walking towards the Jade Emperor.

Le Ran subconsciously looked behind him, there was no one else, so this one on his body must have been added by him, so he felt that this prince was a little interesting, although such a move as the two of them did not seem to be appropriate, but the Jade Emperor didn't even frown in his eyes, it seemed that he felt that this kind of behavior was very normal, the men of the Dongyu royal family were careful and thoughtful, and they were not as pedantic and conservative as the ordinary nobles.

Yu Zhuo came to the Jade Emperor's side, whispered a few words, the Jade Emperor nodded in understanding, and then put on the cloak that Yu Zhuo brought for him, on the other side, Xue Er had already helped Bai Ran put on the cloak, and everyone looked at Le Ran in unison after preparing with a posture that was bound to have a result tonight.

The four pairs of eyes looked at themselves at the same time, which made Le Ran's heart a little furious, and he subconsciously tightened the cloak on his body, and that appearance was seen by the Jade Emperor, so he said to her with a kind face: "Now there is no one else in this small garden, I promise to Medicine Valley in the name of the Son of Heaven that no fifth person will know what you say, the matter of the queen's poisoning is a state affair of Dongyu, and it has nothing to do with anyone in Medicine Valley, do you think this is feasible." ”

The Jade Emperor's words fell, and everyone was still waiting for Le Ran's answer, but seeing that her face was still entangled, Bei Yan bit her lower lip lightly, and said nothing, so Yu Zhuo took two steps forward and said to her: "Le Ran girl, the queen mother of this palace is still unconscious, but there is no trace of the villain, I implore the girl to help me Dongyu arrest the real murderer, this palace knows the uneasiness and concerns in the girl's heart, but please rest assured that my Dongyu has been with the medicine valley for many years, and will never do treacherous things." ”

"And this palace, as the prince of Dongyu, can give the girl another thing, as long as this matter has nothing to do with Dongyu Jiangshan Sheji, no matter when the girl proposes, as long as she takes this thing, Yu Zhuo will do her best to complete it for the girl." Yu Zhuo's eyes were earnest, and as he spoke, he took out a belongings from his arms and handed it to Le Ran.

Le Ran had already wavered when he heard the first half of the story, she was a doctor, and it was her responsibility to find out the cause of the patient's illness, and those concerns were under the repeated assurances of the Jade Emperor and the crown prince, and she also believed it, but now Yu Zhuo's second half of the words really scared her a little, she didn't do anything, where did she dare to ask for the promise of Dongyu's future prince.

So she waved her hand a little flustered, and said no, "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, noble character, Le Ran absolutely believes, and although the Medicine Valley is independent of the world, it has also been protected by Dongyu for many years, and it is the duty of a doctor to find out the cause of the disease, and the grass people really can't afford to be a promise from His Royal Highness, please take it back." ”

Yu Zhuo knew that she would be really afraid, but he knew that his identity was a little inappropriate to do these things, but he seemed to do it instinctively, and the current result was also expected, but he still had an inexplicable sense of unhappiness, maybe he had never been rejected, or maybe something else, anyway, he actually had an unprecedented fighting spirit at this time.

Ignoring the Jade Emperor and the others behind him, he walked a few steps towards Le Ran, and when the girl wanted to step back, he immediately said: "Don't move!" Le Ran was really stunned, didn't understand anymore, before she could react, Yu Zhuo walked to her side, leaned over gently, and said in her ear: "The gentleman has said a word, how do you want this palace to take it back?" If you don't accept it, won't you make this palace lose face in front of your father and the national teacher? Besides, this palace Yinuo is equivalent to the double guarantee of the drug valley, even if you don't want it, don't you really think about it for the medicine valley? ”

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, Le Ran pursed her lips and thought about it, feeling that what the Jade Prince said was too reasonable, although he believed in the protection of the Jade Emperor, but in empty words, it was better to take the token of the future prince to be safe, so she nodded secretly, and found that the two of them still maintained the posture just now, so they quietly took a step back to the side and back, widened the distance with Yuzhuo, and then said: "Caomin substitute medicine valley thanked His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, and Caomin will do his best to find out the cause for the queen." ”

After saying that, she naturally took the things that Yu Zhuo handed over again, and put them in her sleeve pocket without looking at them, and then automatically ignored the happy look of the person at this time, otherwise she would definitely think carefully about what she had received.

Seeing that a lot of time has been delayed, the sunset reflects the sunset, leaving half of the blood red in the sky, and the palace lamps have been lit one after another in the forbidden center, and because of martial law in the small garden, no one dares to come without a will.

At this time, the light was obviously much dimmer compared to before, and Le Ran took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, and hurriedly walked towards the corner, and when he squatted down in front of him, he repeatedly raised his sleeves, and the exposed snow-white arm reached inward, and then pulled out a plant without much force, and the action was done in one go.

looked at the plants in his hands, showed a satisfied smile, then dusted off his arm Saturn, put down his sleeves and stood up, opened the handkerchief that Yuzhuo gave him before, showed the things in his hands in front of everyone, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, and the National Teacher, please look - on the left is the humus that contains a lot of sandy soil just now, and on the right is the hosta flower I just picked." ”

"Originally, this humus soil was excellent with hosta flowers, and now it is in the flowering season, but the problem is that this hosta flowers are yin and damp, and the sandy soil is exactly the opposite, which is very good for moisture drainage, so presumably the forbidden florist should never make such a mistake."

"Moreover, this hosta flower has obviously just been transplanted recently, and the roots are not solid and the stems and leaves are yellowed due to water loss, if my guess is correct, these just transplanted hosta flowers are just to cover up the highly toxic mandala that was planted here before."

"Mandala?" The Jade Emperor and Yu Zhuo confirmed in unison, as if they were a little puzzled by this answer.

"Yes, Mandala." Le Ran said affirmatively, and then probably understood the reason for their doubts, so he added: "Mandala grows in the desert, Dongyu has seen very few people, and the hosta flower is different from the mandala stems and leaves, but the flower type is somewhat similar, and it is a little remote here, it is difficult to notice if you don't look carefully, and the symptoms of the queen mother's poison are the signs of mandala poisoning, but it was misdiagnosed as a simple heart attack, and there is a medicine in the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor that conflicts with it, accelerating the spread of toxicity. It completely induces the mother's heart disease, so that there is no medical treatment. ”

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Then this makes sense." ”

"It's not comprehensive—"

The moment before the sunset pulled down the night, Bai Ran waved his wide sleeves, and the palace lamps surrounding the cloister were lit up in an instant, except for Xue Er, everyone was a little surprised, but Bai Ran just stared intently at the corner of the garden in question.

Under the attention of everyone, I saw him slowly approaching, standing still, and gently closing his eyes, Le Ran saw that he didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere unconsciously, and the sound of the breeze could be heard around him for a while.

"It's not just a mandala – it's a 'black mandala'!" After a moment, he opened his eyes and suddenly broke the silence.

Everyone was surprised, they were all very people, and they naturally knew something about the "Black Mandala", but it was difficult to hide the horror in their hearts.

The cursed flower of the 'Black Mandala', which is said to grow at the end of the desert but has long since disappeared, could not have appeared here, because no one who found the mandala was said to have left unharmed...... What's more, transplant it to Dongyu......

If this matter was said by someone else, it seems that no one would believe this almost ridiculous idea, and would laugh at that person for being absolutely crazy, but now it is Bai Ran who is sure to say this, and he is the national teacher who is admired by everyone in Dongyu, even if he doesn't believe it, he won't want to question him.

Can...... But I still want an answer.

"The hosta flower is as white as paper, if it is a black mandala, the queen mother will definitely see through it on the spot, and it should not be poisoned, but there is a reason why we haven't found out yet?"

"Prince, Your Highness, that's right, it's not just you, even I was almost blinded by it." Bai Ran nodded at Yu Zhuo, and then looked at the flower garden.

At this time, the last rays of sunset brilliance in the sky have been swallowed, and a bright moon has just appeared in the sky, Bai Ran looked up for a few moments, his eyes deepened, and then as soon as he remembered the momentum, he was stopped by Xue Er, who was standing beside him, but had never made a sound, "My lord, don't cast any more spells." ”

Bai Ran turned his head to look at Xue'er, who looked like a young man, with an anxious look, smiled at his lips, temporarily retracted his momentum, and whispered to him: "I'm sorry for worrying you, but there must be a result tonight, I can't delay any longer, I always have some bad premonitions, I have to understand this matter as soon as possible, rush back, I can still hold it now, it won't consume too much, if there is really something, isn't there still you?" ”

"But my lord......" Xue Er wanted to say something, but Bai Ran patted her on the shoulder, and said with rare patience: "Don't worry." ”

Xue Er swallowed what she was going to say, nodded sullenly, and stopped making a sound, following Bai Ran for all these years, he also knew that all the gentleness and patience of his family in this life had been given to Wu Yuan, and it was not easy to explain to him like this today, so he stood aside and looked at him nervously and carefully, and promised to rush up to protect his family as soon as possible in case something went wrong.

After that, Bai Ran raised his breath again, and the right hand hidden under the wide sleeves gradually gave birth to five colorful streamers, constantly winding and turning, he slowly bent his arms, floated his right hand in front of him, and his lips gently opened and closed until the five streamers quickly wound into a spherical shape, and after the expansion channel was extreme, he threw it violently on the corner of the flower bed.

The streamer ball exploded when it was thrown on the flower bed, scattering into a little star and falling, "Wow......" Le Ran couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of her, if it weren't for such a situation, she would feel that the picture in front of her was too romantic and beautiful, Yu Zhuo was attracted by that exclamation, looking at the girl next to her with a yearning and envious smart appearance, her eyes flashed, and the hand hanging by her side unconsciously wanted to lift it, but reason was suddenly pulled back, he clenched his palm, and felt that he might be crazy today.

The streamer that shattered into a star gradually attached to the soil, and in an instant, from the soil slowly floated a little bit of red crystals that shone like jewels, at first it was only a few sporadic ones, everyone looked at it and felt that this picture was a little beautiful, until Bai Ran slightly stiffly aimed at one of the crystals and stretched out his index finger, and when he touched him, the crystal instantly melted into red blood droplets, seeping into his skin in the blink of an eye, and no trace could be found, and at the same time that everyone had no time to be surprised, More and more dense red crystals instantly emerged from the ground of that flower garden, and in the blink of an eye, a huge demon flower was formed, heading towards Bai Ran's pavement.

At that moment, Xue Er pulled the distracted Bai Ran behind her, quickly created a white seal, instantly magnified several times and rushed towards the demon flower, "Whoop ......" The demon flower was hit, and turned to pounce on the Jade Emperor, Yu Zhuo and Le Ran who were standing not far away.

Yu Zhuo reacted quickly, grabbed Le Ran, turned around to protect the Jade Emperor and her behind him, and then created a golden seal to resist the demon flower, he originally had the golden body that the Eastern Jade Emperor had inherited since childhood, although the cultivation could not be compared with Xue Er and the others, even if it could not repel the demon evil, it was enough to save his life.

And when Xue Er protected Bai Ran, seeing that his eyes were blank, he knew that he was bewitched by his mind, so Xue Er didn't care about anything else, bit his finger, and sent blood into Bai Ran's mouth.

Seeing that Yu Zhuo was about to be exhausted, Bai Ran suddenly pulled back to his senses, and while looking towards the Jade Emperor, he instantly threw out several colorful beams, tightly entangled the demon flower, and as it struggled, the beams tightened more and more, until the colorful light appeared, and a puddle of blood fell not far in front of Yu Zhuo.

Le Ran behind him seemed to be frightened, and jumped up and hid behind him, pulling his sleeve tightly, until the blood on the ground "Zla, Zla" emitted a faint gray-black smoke, and it evaporated without a trace.

Thinking of the strange and bloody picture and the terrifying feeling that followed, Le Ran felt that she couldn't calm down at all, she couldn't be considered timid, she didn't know how many times she had slept alone in the deep mountains of Yangshan since she was a child, but she had never felt the curse and blood like hell like today.

Until Yu Zhuo turned sideways slightly and whispered to her, "It's okay, are you okay?" She suddenly realized that she was almost on his back, so although she was afraid, she still forced herself to keep her distance, and at the same time loosened the sleeve of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which she was holding tightly in her hand.

"Grass, grass people, it's abrupt, please atone for your sins." Looking at the sleeves that were crumpled by himself, Le Ran said with a look of surprise and embarrassment.

Yu Zhuo looked at it, his eyes were unconsciously filled with a little pity, but he said with a straight look in his mouth: "It's okay, the situation was urgent just now, and I hope the girl will forgive me for offending the girl." ”

Le Ran just lowered her eyes and nodded as a reply, she hadn't recovered from the panic just now, and she really didn't have time to worry too much.

On the other side, Xue Er helped Bai Ran to stand up, slowly walked in front of the Jade Emperor, and just wanted to give a salute, he was stopped by the Jade Emperor, although he still had a little horror in his heart, but after all, the dragon qi protected the body, and it was also calm, he just looked at Bai Ran worriedly and said: "The national teacher is in a big problem, why don't you ask the valley master to come and take a look at the national teacher." ”

Bai Ran waved his hand at him and said that it was okay, "I have spent some energy and cultivation for the demons, so I don't need to trouble the valley master, just rest for two days." ”

After a pause, he said: "As I saw just now, the black mandala was forbidden by someone, disguised as an ordinary mandala during the day, and at night it will be used against the person who placed the spell.

I guess the queen must have discovered the mandala when she heard the 'Hu Ji' that day, so she secretly came here at night to confirm, so that she fell into the trap and was poisoned, and this spell is quite powerful, able to control people's minds, just probing its remaining scars and being attacked so much, it can be seen that there must be a greater conspiracy behind this matter.

Now, the matter of the queen's mother's poisoning has been revealed, so please ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to follow the vine and touch the melon, and wait for the valley lord to make the antidote tomorrow, and then observe. ”

"Okay, okay, I have written it down, the national teacher takes care of his body, I will arrange it, Xiao Langjun quickly help your family to go back to rest." The Jade Emperor hurriedly responded, and then urged Bai Ran to go back and rest.

Xue Er helped Bai Ran, gently bowed to everyone, and left the garden to rest.

Then, Yu Zhuo first recruited someone to give a few words, and Le Ran sent the Jade Emperor back to Yan Bed, Le Ran asked for the queen's pulse by the way, and after confirming that it was safe for the time being, he walked all the way to the medicine house with Yu Zhuo, and in order to no longer scare her, Yu Zhuo deliberately avoided the small garden, and chose another road, the two of them had nothing to say all the way, each immersed in their own world and thought about things, until they reached the medicine house, Le Ran was just about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Yu Zhuo, and then heard him say: "You and I have experienced a life and death together today, I don't know if Yuzhuo is lucky enough to make a friend of Miss Leran. ”

Listening to his earnest words, without using a self-proclaimed name that symbolized his identity, Le Ran actually felt the word "warmth" in him for a while, if you exclude Peng Jin's "wandering spirit" that she was unlucky enough to be relied upon, Yu Zhuo seems to be the only one who takes the initiative to make friends with her, or someone outside the medicine valley, although this recognition makes her a little at a loss, but she is inexplicably excited, so she gradually forgets the fear just now, and forgets the etiquette, respect and humility that her senior brother explained to her before going out.

Following his heart, he raised his first smile since the night came, and said with crooked eyes, "Okay." ”

Yu Zhuo was almost burned by her brightness, cleared his throat and said: "Since you are a friend, when there is no one in the future, I will call you to be happy, you, call me to return to dust...... Luckily? ”

Seeing that he was a little cautious to discuss with himself, Le Ran actually felt a little cute, so he said playfully: "Well, return to dust!" ”

Listening to the girl calling her name crisply and pleasantly, Yu Zhuo felt a burst of intimacy for no reason, and then, his neck was suspiciously red, and it was a little strange for Le Ran to look at his changes, and he just wanted to ask him if he was uncomfortable, but he robbed him: "Go back to eat quickly, I'm tired today, rest early." ”

After saying that, he didn't look at Le Ran anymore, so he turned around and walked back, just took a few steps, seemed to think of something and turned around, and saw that Le Ran was still motionless looking at the direction he left, and said softly: "The token for you, you must take it well, and if you are afraid at night, put it on your chest, and you will definitely be able to sleep well." ”

The breeze dances and the bright moon, the dream falls between the flowers, the warm and jade boy looks at the girl under the swaying lights opposite, and for the first time in his life, he has the idea of wanting to treat a person seriously, even if he wakes up from a dream, it is like a different world, even if he looks at the millennium from afar, the prosperity is gone, but he is still infatuated, and he wanders several times, and he still can't get out of the dream of the flowers.
