"Phew." The fast horse galloped and stopped at the gate.

The middle-aged man on the horse neatly turned over and dismounted.

The two guards at the door had already recognized each other, and quickly recovered from their surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the reins, and one saluted, "Second master, you are back, the little one will report immediately." ”

"No need." Luo Yuncheng said in a deep voice, and strode directly inside, the pace was like the wind, and the guard could almost only trot to catch up.

Luo Yun walked towards the east courtyard maturely, and the guards chasing after him understood who he was going to meet, and hurriedly reminded, "Second master, the old lady is now living in the West Garden, but the old lady still lives in the East Courtyard. ”

Luo Yuncheng slammed his steps, his already tight lips tightened a little, and the muscles on his face also agitated a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said, "No need to follow." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Xiyuan.

The guards watched him leave, neither to go, nor to follow, so in the end he could only grit his teeth and turn around and run.

Luo Yuncheng walked to the West Garden familiarly, ignoring the surprise of the guards and servants he saw along the way, strode into the West Garden, and walked directly towards one of the small courtyards without asking, as if the person he was sure to find was in this small courtyard.

Walking to the gate of the small courtyard, he suddenly stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked up with his eyes.

The dragon flying and phoenix dancing carved on the arch, the three words of Shuiyue Tower, made the man who was already full of bloodshot eyes red-eyed.

He clenched his fists hard, as if trying to suppress the sadness in his chest.

He closed his eyes forcefully, temporarily suppressing the emotion that was almost bursting out.

At this time, there was already a maidservant girl in the courtyard who found him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Second master." ”

Luo Yuncheng opened his eyes, his gaze lingered on the plaque, and he asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "What about the old lady?" ”

"The old lady has just finished her lunch and is resting in the plum garden." The maidservant was busy.

Luo Yuncheng pursed his lips, and finally retracted his gaze, his eyes became complicated, and he asked again, "How is the old lady doing lately?" ”

When the maidservant heard this, she stopped talking.

"Say." He raised his eyebrows and snorted.

The maidservant was frightened and hurriedly said, "The old lady's appetite is getting worse and worse now, and the doctor said that it is...... Heart disease, anxiety becomes a disease, accumulation of viscera, body weakness and blood loss, can only slowly recuperate. ”

Luo Yuncheng's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything, and suddenly turned around and strode away.

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "Second master, it's rare for you to come back, don't you go in to visit the old lady, she misses you very much?" ”

It's just that the only thing that responds to her is the back that is getting farther and farther away.

The servant girl watched in disappointment as the other party's back completely disappeared from sight, and then sighed deeply.

She didn't know what was going on with the people in the Luo family, the old lady and the old lady almost didn't get along with each other, obviously only separated by a few courtyards.

Or that the old lady has always turned the old lady away.

And the brothers of the Luo family, except for the uncle who inherited the position of the head of the family, still stayed in the family, and the rest of the second and third masters did not return all year round, especially the second master, sometimes almost every two or three years only returned, and when they came back, they didn't stay long, and the old lady came back to visit when she had physical problems.

She once inquired quietly, but she was secretly scolded by her seniors and warned her not to inquire about anything casually.

From then on, she didn't dare to ask casually, only knowing that it seemed to be related to the old lady's youngest daughter who had been away from home for many years.

Moreover, the Shuiyue Building where the old lady lives now is the former residence of the fourth lady, which shows that the old lady really misses her daughter very much.

She had vaguely inquired outside before, but many of the things she said were different, some said that the young lady eloped with someone, some said that she was abducted by the enemies of the Luo family, and some said that she left the rivers and lakes after discord with her family.

"Second brother, you're really back."

Luo Yuncheng just walked out of the gate of Xiyuan, and met the head of the Luo family who learned the news and hurried over.

"Second uncle." The young man who was supporting the head of the Luo family also called politely.

The head of the Luo family is the largest among the four brothers and sisters, and the second Luo Yuncheng is ten years apart, and now he is in his fifties, and unlike the head of the ordinary martial arts family, he looks younger and burly because of his martial arts, but he looks much older than his age, looking at his face and being supported by his younger son, he should not be in good health.

Luo Yuncheng's eyes were even more complicated, he pursed his lips, and then asked stiffly, "What's wrong with your body?" ”

When the head of the Luo family heard this, there was a hint of surprise on his face, and then another surprise was made, and he said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that I was caught with a cold a few days ago." ”

"Hmm." Luo Yuncheng retracted his gaze.

The head of the Luo family looked at the gate of the West Garden behind him and said, "Have you seen your mother?" ”

"Nope." Luo Yuncheng lowered his eyes.

The head of the Luo family was stunned again, and then suddenly said, "Mother is probably resting, see you later." ”

Luo Yuncheng didn't explain much, just said, "I have something to look for you." ”

"What's the matter?" The head of the Luo family suddenly became serious.

Since the death of the younger sister, the second brother has almost broken with the family, and he has not taken the initiative to talk to him about anything for many years, could it be that something big has happened?

"Let's talk about it in the study first."

The two entered the study and sat silently.

The young man brought tea to the two, and then left the study with a very eye-catching expression.

"Did something happen?" The Luo family said.

"After Yue'er entered the palace, did you send someone to look for her, or do you know anyone who went to look for her?" Luo Yuncheng spoke directly.

Boss Luo was about to hold the teacup, turned his head sharply, stared at him, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Luo Yuncheng lowered his eyes, put his hand on the side of the teacup, and continued, "Over the years, have you paid attention to that side again?" ”

The face of the Luo family master had sunk, and he stared at the other party without saying a word, as if he wanted to see something unusual from his expression.

Luo Yuncheng suddenly leaned back and said, "Someone told me that Yue'er died in childbirth back then, and she also left a son. ”

"What did you say?" The head of the Luo family stood up violently, because the speed was too fast, it hit the table, causing the tea cup on the table to be unstable, and the tea was sprinkled on the table, and it gathered into a line and flowed down.

"I've checked it too." Luo Yuncheng raised his hand and took out a thick stack of paper from his arms, "Yue'er did give birth to a son back then, named Wei Jiuli, and now he has to be crowned King Li." ”

The head of the Luo family looked at him in shock, and then looked at the stack of papers in his hand, his eyes were full of disbelief but with a bit of expectation or fear.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to get the stack of materials, but he didn't dare.

After a long time, he said, "If that's the case, then he should be doing well." "Although they don't pay attention to the affairs of the imperial court, they will always hear about the big things even if they don't pay attention to them.

He has also heard of all the adult princes who have been crowned kings because of their meritorious service in guarding the border, and the other party can be crowned, obviously the status will not be too bad.

Luo Yuncheng's cheeks twitched a few times, as if he was trying to suppress something, he pinched the paper a little harder, afraid that he would accidentally crush the paper directly, and directly threw the stack of paper on the table next to him, and said in a deep voice, "He has spent it in the cold palace since the moment he was born." ”

Although Bai Tang deliberately avoided it and didn't say anything, the results of the investigation were listed one by one.

What's more, Wei Jiuli's life experience is not a secret, and even now it makes people feel a little legendary among the people, after all, an abandoned son who grew up in the cold palace since he was a child, thought that he should die in obscurity, but he didn't want to not only survive tenaciously, but also waited until the day he came out, and now he is the most favored son of the king, which can be said to be a counterattack film.

But when Luo Yuncheng learned about it, some of them hated, remorseed, and blamed themselves.

Seeing the irrepressible pain and remorse on his face, the head of the Luo family was also a little ugly, and immediately walked over quickly, picked up the stack of papers on the desk and looked at it, and then the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and even the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

Wei Jiuli's life can be roughly divided into two stages so far, before the cold palace and after the cold palace.

How he lived before the cold palace, it is estimated that no one knows except him at present, but anyone who has a brain can imagine what life will be like.

Especially since he was six years old, after the two servants he took care of died one after another, he lived alone in the cold palace.

A six-year-old child is still confined in that forgotten and desolate place, and no matter what he relies on, the process of surviving must be extremely difficult.

After leaving the cold palace unexpectedly, he was still ostracized and looked down upon, until Concubine Xian was wronged, and was brought up by her biological father.

But at this time, he is no longer a child who has nothing to do, he has grown up, and no matter how much he has lost, he can't make up for it.

The paper fell to the ground, the face of the head of the Luo family was pale and pale, and his body was also shaky, and he couldn't help bending over, holding the desk with his hand to fix his body.

That was the only blood left by his sister, that was the child that his sister exchanged for her life, that was his own nephew, but ...... Suffering from loneliness.

"When Yue'er had an accident, I regretted it, I regretted not being by my side to protect her, I regretted not being her dependent, and now I regret it again, if I asked more and checked it in person, I wouldn't have missed so many years, and the child didn't need to suffer so much, but is it useful to regret it......"

Luo Yuncheng raised his hand to cover his eyes, and his palms were wet.

I missed it once, but I missed it a second time.

The Luo family master's body trembled violently, his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't speak, like a fish out of water, his eyes were full of pain and remorse with a little vicissitudes.

"How could it be, how could it be...... You, are you probably sure? Is this kid really from a little sister? ”

Luo Yuncheng put down his hand, then took out a palm-sized scroll from his sleeve and handed it over.

The Luo family master took the scroll, hesitated for a while before slowly opening it, and then paused.

This is a small painting scroll, the person in the painting is dressed in silver-gray armor, his robe flutters in the wind, his face is handsome and picturesque, and he is a handsome and upright young man with a dusty temperament.

If the black and white words on the paper can be questioned, then this portrait gives a positive answer.

He didn't need to ask about the identity of the person on the painting, just by looking at his face.

This appearance, although it does not have the softness of a woman, is very similar to the little sister Luo Shuiyue.

Even after more than 20 years, with just one glance, you can still recognize the appearance of the little sister, but the difference is that there is no temperature in the eyes of the young man, and the smile on the corner of the mouth seems to be portrayed, without any smile, which is completely different from the little sister who always has a warm smile, probably because of the experience from childhood to adulthood.

The head of the Luo family looked at the portrait, his eyes slowly moistened, as if he recalled something through these words, and as if he saw someone.

He looked at it blankly for a while, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he immediately turned his head to look at Luo Yuncheng, who had been silent, "You asked me before if I sent someone to see my little sister, what's going on?" Why do you ask? ”

Because of his words, Luo Yuncheng also came back to his senses from his recollection, then raised his hand to wipe his face, his face became serious, and then he told Bai Tang and what he found carefully.

On the third day after leaving Lorraine Villa, Bai Tang left in a hurry because he received the news from Poria Cocos.

Most of Poria cocos' recent news network has been scattered in the martial arts, and most of the news sent is also some things related to the martial arts.

And the news she sent this time is what Bai Tang is most concerned about, because it is related to the Demon Palace.

There was civil strife in the Demon Palace, and the Lord of the Demon Palace was betrayed by the people around him and was seriously injured and disappeared.

When Bai Tang received the news, he looked at the contents of the paper for a long time, and then ordered Yan Ru to continue to stay, so he hurried back to the imperial city and found Bai Hu.

If the Ethereal Building has something to do with the Demon Palace, then Bai Hu should also know about this matter.

Sure enough, the white bird knew about it.

"The county lord is calm and impatient, although the incident happened suddenly, but his subordinates think that the lord should have made arrangements."

Bai Tang couldn't put her mind at ease because of his words, she tensed her nerves, stared at Bai Hu with dark eyes, and let the other party confess the matter of the Demon Palace for the first time.

Whether it is Wei Jiu or Wei Jiuli, he will not be the one who makes himself easily involved, no matter what he does, he will always be comprehensive, take one step and see three steps.

Miao Lou does have a relationship with the Demon Palace, but it has nothing to do with the Demon Palace, or most of the channels for Miao Miao Lou to get news come from the Demon Palace, but the Demon Palace does not know the relationship between the other party and itself.

This may also be a retreat for Wei Jiuli in dealing with the Demon Palace.

Over the years, relying on the identity of the palace master of the Demon Palace, Wei Jiu has also installed many people in the Demon Palace, and Bai Hu has learned about what happened in the Demon Palace through these people.

The position of the palace master of the Demon Palace has always been occupied by the capable.

It is said that more than ten years ago, the palace master of the Demon Palace seemed to have accepted a righteous son outside, and then he started the idea of passing on his father to his son, wanting to train the righteous son to become the next palace master of the Demon Palace.

But later, the Demon Palace Master failed to break through in a retreat, and although he didn't go mad, his realm also fell by half.

The old palace lord knew that he couldn't hide his affairs for long, so he held a competition to elect the next heir of the palace lord of the Demon Palace.

You don't have to guess the outcome of that contest to know it.

After Bai Tang listened, after confirming that Wei Jiu was the adopted son accepted by the old palace master, what surprised him was the time when Wei Jiu and the other party met.

More than 10 years......

Obviously, Wei Jiuli left the cold palace by mistake ten years ago, which means that the other party got acquainted with the master of the Demon Palace when he was in the cold palace, and was taught by the other party.

No wonder the other party is young, but his martial arts are extraordinary. Take a look at the latest chapter of "NPC in Ancient Times: Love at Doctor's Sight, Rely on Your Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
