Lou Yan thought that the old lady would at least survive these few days, but it seems that King Rong and Nayuan Zheng still made a move, just to pull out Ruyi today, so that the old lady couldn't even survive tonight.

The ladies in the house cried for a while, Lou Yan was only happy for the old lady, and it was good to stay away from these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and be quiet.

Jiang Yan wiped his tears and looked at Lou Yan: "Xiao Yan, how can I explain this to Ruyi." ”

"I'll explain." Lou Yan said lightly, he could think of how much Ruyi would complain about himself and how sad she would be after she knew, but she couldn't come, the trap here was clearly placed, and he couldn't watch her jump inside.

King Rong looked at all this indifferently, looked at King Ping who was following the emperor, and then looked at Lou Yan, the corners of his mouth were coldly hooked.

The next day, Wei Ruyi woke up, and before she could ask Chen Yansleeve why she wanted to knock herself out, she felt that her hands and feet were very weak, and there was still incense in the room.

She was startled: "Mu Ying......"

"Miss, you're awake!" Mu Ying hurriedly came in from outside and brought her food.

"Misty fragrance ......" Wei Ruyi shook his head, wanting to sober himself up.

Mu Ying saw that she had found out and knew that this thing would not be able to hide it from her, but ......

"Ruyi, are you awake?" Chen Yansleeve walked in, saw her staring at Mi Xiang, and knew that she was smart, so he immediately ordered someone to retreat, and then said, "Let's eat first." ”

Wei Ruyi's stomach was indeed growling with hunger, but what happened, they were so secretive, it always gave her a bad premonition.

"Sister Yansleeve, what happened?" Wei Ruyi asked her.

"You eat first, and I'll tell you when you've eaten." Chen Yansleeve brought the meal to her, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai Qing'er is still clamoring to come to play, you hurry up and eat and wash up and go to accompany him." ”

Wei Ru thought that there was nothing abnormal about her, and she was hungry and panicked, so she began to eat suspiciously.

After eating, he got up and changed his clothes and went out of the room, and when he came out, he saw Qing'er and Meng Changlin coming together.

Meng Changlin was holding a post in his hand, his face was flushed, and when he saw Wei Ruyi, he broke away from Tan'er's hand, hurriedly ran over, took her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Ruyi, my father asked me to give this to you." ”

"Posts?" Although Wei Ruyi felt a little dizzy, he was much better after coming out.

She opened the post and looked at it, and after reading it, her eyes lit up: "Uncle said that he would send you and Qing'er to Qingshan Academy in the second half of the year?" ”

Meng Changlin nodded: "My father said that my body is much better and I can go out to study." ”

Wei Ruyi clasped his pulse with his backhand, it was indeed much better, it seemed that Tan'er took good care of it.

"How is the eldest aunt now?" Wei Ruyi asked him with a smile.

"Mother is much better, and she goes to the garden in the afternoon." Meng Changlin said obediently, and Qing'er also ran over with a smile to participate in this speech.

Chen Yansleeve looked at Wei Ruyi, who was smiling happily with the two children, thinking that it should be a city full of white silk today, and sighed faintly.

In the courtyard, according to the old concubine's last wishes, her funeral was simple, only buried in the name of the concubine, not to keep filial piety, not to accompany the funeral, even if the emperor was unwilling, he could only do it.

In the mourning hall of Nuoda, King Ping personally wore filial piety, and Jiang Yan accompanied him.

Jiang Yan looked at King Ping, who was stunned looking at this mourning hall, and knew that he remembered Princess Ping, and said softly: "Brother Wang, if you are tired, go and rest for a while, you didn't rest last night." ”

"I'm not tired, you can go and rest for a while." King Ping looked at him gently, just like before.

Jiang Yan was overjoyed to see him like this, but he didn't know what to say, so he said, "I'm not tired, I'm with Brother Wang." ”

King Ping smiled lightly and stopped talking.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, Lou Yan sat cross-legged on the couch near the lake all night, and he didn't sleep at all.

Mu Yun took the medicine that was more bitter than usual: "Drink it, otherwise as soon as the old lady leaves, you will also leave, and Miss Wei will really hang herself." ”

Lou Yan didn't speak, and drank the medicine: "Where you are buried, let the master recite the scriptures a few more times." ”

"Don't worry, it's all arranged, the old lady will definitely be able to go to heaven." Mu Yun took back the medicine bowl and wanted to leave, but looking at his pale and bloodless face, he said, "King Rong has to do his hands and feet, and you can't stop it." What's more, the old lady just left a few days early, it's none of your business, don't put all the pressure on yourself. ”

Lou Yan snorted lightly, Mu Yun saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't bother to persuade him, so he just asked someone to bring the food, stared at him and ate it, and then left.

Ah Zhong and Ayi looked at this person who swallowed all the bitterness in his stomach, thinking that Miss Wei was afraid that he would be angry with him in the near future, so they glanced at each other, and only waited more and more carefully.

Wei Ruyi wanted to go out in the afternoon, but she didn't know what happened to Qing'er and Meng Changlin, so she was going to the library to find an ancient book, she thought that there were still Xue Wuxian and Xiao Yao staring at the things outside anyway, so she didn't think much about it for the time being, and went with them.

After spending the evening like this, Qing'er yawned and said, "I finally don't have to go to my grandfather's endorsement tonight." ”

"Why?" Wei Ruyi asked casually, because her grandfather rarely went out on weekdays, who knew that she had just finished asking, Qing'er pursed her mouth nervously, and Meng Changlin was also a little flustered.

Wei Ruyi looked at the two of them like this, and then thought of being knocked unconscious last night, and the fragrance in the room this morning, where did he not know that something was wrong outside?

She didn't intend to embarrass the two children, just put down the book in her hand, got up and went outside.

Qing'er immediately called her: "Sister, you can't go out!" ”

But the more he said this, the more Wei Ruyi wanted to go out.

As she walked, she watched the frightened people outside the courtyard, and the faster she walked.

walked straight to the gate of Chen's mansion, only to be stopped by Chen Yansleeve.

"Ruyi ......"

"I don't know what you're hiding from me, but I'm going to get out today." She had a very bad premonition, remembering that since she woke up today, her heart has been very stuffy, and now she feels more and more that something very bad has happened.

Chen Yansleeve saw her so determined, thought for a while, and said, "Change your clothes." ”

When Wei Ruyi saw the filial piety clothes that Chen Yansleeve had prepared for her a long time ago, she only felt that all the strength in her body had been drained.

Who else can hide it from her like this, and prepare filial piety clothes?

"Old lady, she...... When did you leave? Wei Ruyi could barely hear her own voice, and Chen Yansleeve gently supported her: "I left last night." ”

Wei Ruyi's tears fell, and she only felt that her throat was also dry and hoarse, as if a sour and astringent was blocked there, so that she couldn't cry.

When she hurried to the courtyard, the door of the courtyard was already full of white silk, and all the ministers and ladies who came to mourn were stopped outside.

When she arrived at the door, Lan Yu, the little maid who was guarding, recognized her at a glance and hurriedly greeted her: "Princess Jinghe, why are you here......?"

"Where's the concubine?"

"The coffin is parked inside, His Royal Highness King Ping and His Royal Highness King Zhao are guarding, and the emperor only let other people come in to worship and send them away......" After Lan Yu finished speaking, seeing her red eyes, she thought about it, and said a few words to the guards at the door, whether she was let in.

When I came in, I saw Old Lady Chen and Imperial Doctor Hu walking here together.

When the two of them saw her, they looked at Chen Yansleeve again, and just sighed.

"Ruyi, Concubine Roujia is inside, don't lose your manners for a while." Old Lady Chen instructed carefully.

Wei Ruyi nodded, she had already prepared that the old lady would leave at any time, even if she was sad, she would not be out of proportion, but she didn't expect that the last time she saw her in a hurry, it was a farewell.

She went to the mourning hall with Chen Yansleeve, Concubine Roujia was sitting next to her, King Ping and King Zhao were standing on one side together, and when they saw her coming, several people were a little surprised.

However, Concubine Roujia had already heard Jiang Yan talk about the reason, even if Wei Ruyi came so late, she would not blame, she only ordered someone to help her salute, and then said: "The old lady didn't suffer much when she left, don't be too sad, otherwise she will be worried when she looks at her from the sky." ”

Wei Ruyi nodded and saluted her again.

When leaving, she looked at the black coffin, thinking that the old lady with kind eyes was lying in it forever, and she had a cramping pain in her heart, and she endured it with a strong endure, and then she was helped out by Chen Yansleeve with a bloodless face.

When she came out, the old lady was waiting at the door.

After a few days, the old grandmother's hair became whiter, and a few new wrinkles were added on her face, and the neat and clean plain clothes were worn on her body, which only made people feel that she was getting thinner and thinner.

"Mama......"

Wei Ruyi called her, she also smiled lovingly, and quietly put something in the palm of her hand: "This is the rosary commonly used by the old lady when chanting, she said that when she leaves, let the slave and maid hand it over to you, she has also been reading this rosary for decades, and she should have some blessings in it." ”

Wei Ruyi clutched the rosary tightly, becoming more and more uncomfortable.

Chen Yansleeve looked at her in grief, thinking of her own grandmother, but helplessly helped her back.

All night, Wei Ruyi seemed to have lost his soul, lying on the bed, his eyes couldn't close his tears, and he finally fell asleep until the next day, when his body's strength was exhausted.

In her dream, she felt a familiar breath approaching, gently caressing her cheek, but when she tried to struggle to grasp it, the breath disappeared without a trace.

After two days of such chaos, when the old lady was buried, she finally struggled out of her grief.

She sat at the door, watching the dark clouds slowly obscuring the sun, and a light rain falling, reaching out to pick it up, and hearing a soft laugh: "I don't know, I thought Ruyi was really sick, look at this thin one, it looks like the little sapling on the side of the road." ”

Hearing this voice, Wei Ruyi turned his head and saw Jiang Yan coming together.

They all removed their filial piety clothes, although they were also pure, but they were not as dull as before.

Lou Yan only looked at her lightly and said, "Get up, take you somewhere." ”

"It's August, the lotus flowers are gone, and there is no good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River." Wei Ruyi looked at him with wet eyes.

Lou Yan's heart moved slightly, and regardless of whether anyone was present, he walked up to her and stretched out his hand to her: "Follow me." ”

Wei Ruyi looked at the hand he stretched out in front of her, she used to think that he would take the initiative to be close to her, but now because of the old lady's matter, she was angry with him. She knew that he was for his own good, but what if she could save the old lady, what if she ......

Before she could finish thinking about it, Lou Yan leaned over and hugged her in his arms, regardless of the stunned eyes of others, and regardless of whether Wei Ruyi was struggling or not, he just hugged her tightly and said to Ah Zhong: "Prepare the car." ”

"Yes!"

Ah Zhong hurriedly went to do it, Jiang Yan looked at this scene, as if he had a needle in his heart, and only comforted Wei Ruyi and said: "Ruyi, Xiao Yan thought about it for a long time before deciding like that." ”

Wei Ruyi glared at Lou Yan, and Lou Yan ignored her.

And just like that, she was carried straight into the carriage.

"Where are you taking me?"

"In my heart, go?" Lou Yan asked her.

Wei Ruyi's throat choked, and the carriage had already run.

The carriage ran faster and was very bumpy, so Lou Yan carefully put her in his arms, preferring to knock on the carriage himself than let her bump into it.

And so, without saying a word, until the carriage finally stopped.

When the carriage stopped, the rain outside was heavier, and Wei Ruyi saw that Lou Yan was going to continue to hold her, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go by myself." ”

"Call me what?" Lou Yan asked her.

Wei Ruyi pursed her lips slightly: "Master National Teacher!" ”

Lou Yan snorted coldly, hugged her and went out.

Although he doesn't know kung fu, as a man, his strength is much greater than Wei Ruyi thought.

After holding her out of the carriage steadily, Wei Ruyi saw that in front of him was the small thatched hut he had brought him to before, and there was a bad old man stewing broth here last time.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Ruyi asked him again.

Lou Yan ignored her.

Wei Ruyi gritted his teeth: "Brother Yan......"

"See Master." Lou Yan glanced at her, then spoke, and carried her all the way to the hut, and had no intention of letting her down.

Wei Ruyi saw the bad old man who was already sitting in it and the other half-dead old man, his little face was slightly red, and he hurriedly gently pulled Lou Yan's clothes, signaling him to let himself down, but Lou Yan was unmoved.

Wei Ruyi completely compromised and whispered, "Brother Yan, let me go." ”

Lou Yan did as she wished, and put her aside.

The previous second master saw this scene and said to the old man next to him: "Look, I said that Xiao Yan has changed his temperament, I don't want the male pet he wants, and I don't want the beauty, I actually want a yellow-haired girl." ”

Wei Ruyi didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, but the other old man just smiled kindly and motioned for Wei Ruyi to sit down: "Little girl, can you take the gold bracelet that the concubine gave you with you?" ”

Wei Ruyi didn't expect him to suddenly mention this, and took out the bracelet from his sleeve and gave it to him.

The old man took it and looked at it, and then said, "She really cares for you, and she even gave you this bracelet." Since you are not in trouble now, you should carry this bracelet with you for the time being. ”

Wei Ruyi was inexplicable when he heard it, but Lou Yan took a deep look at the bracelet before he said, "Master went down the mountain this time, but do you have any other orders?" ”

"I'm going to go to Qi country, this time I go down the mountain, first, to see the girl you like, and second, this villa will be handed over to you from now on." The old man looked at him and smiled kindly, before he said, "You go and arrange the affairs of the villa first, I have something I want to say to Miss Wei alone." ”

Lou Yan looked at Wei Ruyi, as if he knew what the old man would say, but he didn't stop him, turned around and went out.

After he left, the old man looked at Wei Ruyi and smiled: "Do you know who Lou Yan's biological parents are?" ”

Wei Ruyi shook his head, he didn't know in his previous life, and he didn't notice it, but he didn't guess it in this life.

"It's okay if I don't know, what happened back then was a scar in Xiao Yan's heart that couldn't heal in this life, I think the old lady must have guessed this, otherwise she wouldn't give you this bracelet easily." The old man looked at the gold bracelet in fascination.

Wei Ruyi didn't expect the old lady to know, so she asked Lou Yan to let go of the emperor's children, could it be that she also knew that Lou Yan wanted to help King Ping seize the throne?

"Now that the old lady is gone, you must not only protect this bracelet and the secret of the bracelet, but also be careful to guard against the people around you." The old man said again.

Wei Ruyi was puzzled who he was referring to: "Did you deliberately go down the mountain because of this bracelet?" ”

"Sort of. The old lady and I have had a relationship, she has passed away now, and this secret that she has carefully protected all her life has been passed into your hands, and I don't want anything to happen in your hands. The old man smiled gently.

Wei Ruyi nodded, indeed, she was immersed in grief because of the death of the old concubine, and she didn't think that there was still danger around her, if she continued to be depressed like this, it would only be the people who cared about her who would bear the danger for her.

"Ruyi understood."

"You're a smart kid, and so is Xiao Yan. But Hui Ji will be hurt, and both of you should be careful. After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to swallow the second half of the sentence, looked at her deeply, and then sent her out.

After she left, the second master looked at him and said, "I thought so much before, why did I only say this today?" ”

"Wisdom will hurt, love is deep, what is the point of saying it or not saying it?" The old man coughed lightly, as if he could see through the wall the people who were leaving together, and he gently threw a few letters in his hand that were about to be opened for Wei Ruyi into the fire, watching them all turn into ashes.

The second master looked at the sadness in his eyes, and disdained: "You like to play this kind of set of wanting to talk and stopping, I am also Xiao Yan's second master, and Xiao Ruyi will have to call me the second master in the future, if you let them go, I won't." ”

The old man smiled and did not speak.

Outside, the sound of rain falling on oil-paper umbrellas was particularly clear.

Wei Ruyi carefully carried her skirt, tried to find stones to step on at a time, Lou Yan was not in a hurry, and followed her slowly with an umbrella for her.

Finally jumped to the side of the carriage, Wei Ruyi raised his eyes to look at him: "Brother Yan said, what should I do with King Rong's house?" ”

Lou Yan looked at the cunning in her bright eyes, and her lips overflowed with a slight smile: "What do you think?" ”

"How about ruining him?"

"Okay." Lou Yan stretched out his hand to her, and Wei Ruyi held his hand and jumped into the carriage gently, holding back the red circles in his eyes.

Since it is a blood debt, then blood will be paid!

After the old concubine was buried, Wukang and the courtyard were directly secretly executed.

As for why it was a secret execution, King Rong couldn't be clearer, the emperor was bent on showing filial piety, but let the imperial doctor he sent hurt the old concubine under his nose. So he'd rather act as if nothing had happened to protect his reputation.

"Lord Wang, the emperor has not been in good health these days, and I heard that King Xuan's body has also been found, so next, is it time for you to appear?" The man sitting at the bottom suggested.

King Rong's eyes were slightly cold: "Prepare to play the chapter, propose that the father and emperor follow the ancestral system, and welcome the corpse of Brother Xuanwang to be buried in Beijing!" ”

Someone at the bottom immediately said: "King Xuan died of cholera, if he let his body enter the capital, in case this cholera spreads in the capital......

"If you don't agree, how can His Royal Highness King Ping, who is known as the Virtuous King, agree?" The person who had just proposed it immediately laughed at him.

"Then the prince is doing this......"

"If the prince doesn't do this, how can the emperor be dissatisfied with King Ping?"

The talented person explained with a smile, and the people in the room instantly understood. Now that King Xiao has been driven out of the capital, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is bent on supporting King Ping, but for King Xuan's death, the emperor must be guilty, otherwise he would not have repeatedly proposed to restore the queen's position.

But King Ping, in order to protect his name as a virtuous king and the safety of the people, will never allow King Xuan to enter Beijing.

"What you have prepared, but are you ready?" King Rong watched the people below arguing, his eyes were slightly dark, and he only asked coldly.

Immediately, an attendant came out and said: "Don't worry, your excerpt is presented today, and after King Ping opposes, the news that King Ping will immediately break out in the capital to secretly set up a sacrifice for Princess Ping." ”

King Rong smiled coldly, very satisfied.

However, King Ping is satisfied, he is still not satisfied with Lou Yan's stay out of the matter, the death of Concubine Mei, he will not end it so easily.

"How is Princess Jinghe doing?"

"I've been depressed for a few days." Xiao Wu said: "But recently, Concubine Meng of King Zhao's Mansion seems to have secretly called a lot of thugs recently, I'm afraid she is going to attack Wei Ruyi." ”

The little maid looked at King Rong meaningfully, and King Rong also smiled coldly: "Then you don't have to do it yourself, help her in the dark!" If she can't take Wei Ruyi this time, then she won't live. This king hasn't had blood on his hands for so long, and it's really greasy! ”

The little guy understood and immediately retreated.

As soon as he left, a dark shadow flashed in the night sky, and disappeared with him.

That night, Wei Ruyi went out from Wei's house alone, because her aunt Wei Shu's illness suddenly recurred, Zhiyu hurriedly looked for her, and she had to rush over overnight.

Coincidentally, Chen Yansleeve was also asked out because of something else.

There was a distance from Chen's Mansion to Meng's Mansion, so the anxious Zhiyu directly asked the carriage to take a shortcut, and from the open road, it went directly into the small alley of 78,000 turns.

"Quick, faster!"

Zhiyu kept urging the coachman, and the coachman also waved his whip vigorously.

Just as the carriage was about to turn the alley in front of it, a pile of debris suddenly fell from the sky. The horses were frightened, and in the confusion, the coachman was kicked down, and Zhiyu jumped out of the carriage with a jolt.

The guards of the Chen Mansion tried to catch up, but they were blocked by a group of drunk thugs who flashed out.

Zhiyu covered his broken wrist, slowly retreated to the dark place by the alley, watched the carriage leave quickly, and then gently blew the wound and turned away.
