Jiang Yunyu sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look out.

Every scene and object in Luo Jing is exactly the same as in my memory.

Straight and wide streets, with wheels rolling on them and making a rolling sound.

The long street was full of people, the cries were endless, and occasionally the guards with serious faces could be seen walking through them, and there was silence everywhere he passed, and he walked with his front foot, and his back foot resumed its liveliness; The red walls and green tiles, the painted walls and cornices are as vivid as yesterday, and you can vaguely see the shadows of the old days. Jiang Yunyu even had an illusion: she had never left here.

The scenery dazzled her, and she also felt noisy about the sound of pedestrians, and after only looking at it for a while, she felt an inexplicable irritability in her heart, she lowered the curtain and closed her eyes tiredly.

She leaned back on the cushion behind her, one hand on her cheek, and her thoughts had already flown to the Nine Heavens.

In her previous life, she received the edict and set off for Beijing without much preparation, but they went too smoothly this way, and the arrival time was far earlier than expected, and what was even more embarrassing was that there was still a period of time before the new emperor's draft, which made people laugh and cry.

Since she has come, although it is not a day, it is not good to toss a round and forth for thousands of miles, so she found a place to live, and she was bored for more than half a month.

In fact, it's not that there is nothing to do, Jiang Yunyu took two girls to the streets and alleys of Luojing, even if it is the capital, in fact, it is not very big, from early morning to sunset is enough to walk from the south of the city to the north of the city, and almost every place has left their footprints.

- This lasted until the day the draft officially began.

Later, the only thing she could do was to try her best to pass the time in the high palace walls, counting the days passing day by day, and finding solace in the yellowed pile of old papers.

Dai Nong couldn't understand why Jiang Yunyu could be so calm and not change her face, anyway, she was full of anxiety and nervousness now, after all, it was the first time she came to the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was normal.

People at the time said, "The city can't help but explain." There are no deep alleys, embroidered beaded curtains. Clever new makeup, exaggerated and gorgeous. Spring is in full swing, and the wine is happy. Yahui is happy, but it is a pity. The scenery is vast, and I don't feel even worse. Bao rides horses, incense wheels. Wuling is young, and the road is full of songs. Thousands of households, thousands of doors, the sheng spring is not thorough (1). "This is the prosperous scene of Luojing

But Jiang Yunyu is no longer so.

She's a natural.

The carriage traveled for a long time before it stopped, and Jiang Yunyu had a feeling: they seemed to be going in circles.

But she didn't bother to ask more, so she just sat in silence, wondering where she was going to take herself?

Where will Xie Qinglin be waiting for him? It won't be in the East Palace.

She also felt that her idea was ridiculous, and bit her lip and shook her head gently.

How is that possible? What is she now? Jiang Yunyu thought self-deprecatingly.

I don't know how long it took, but the carriage finally came to a slow stop.

Yun Shen respectfully asked her to get out of the car.

When it finally arrived, Jiang Yunyu took her thoughts back, settled down, and helped Dai Nong get out of the carriage.

When she came down, she glanced back, only to see a deep alley, there were only a few families, to stand on the ground, she looked up, in front of her was a very ordinary courtyard, at least from the appearance alone, there was no difference from ordinary people, the gray low wall accumulated years of old meetings, a wooden plaque trembling and hanging on the door, as if the next moment was about to fall.

Two words in the book: Gu Yuan.

That's a good name.

Jiang Yunyu pretended not to know: "Is this Lord Xie's mansion, how can it be like this...... Poor acid? ”

Yun Shen and Yu Leak, who knew the inside story, twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Yunyu satisfied her bad taste and no longer embarrassed them, tilted her head innocently and smiled.

"Is Lord Xie here, I really want to see him." She asked, looking at the two old doors.

Yun Shen bowed and replied: "Yes, my lord is waiting for you inside, but he ordered before, after bringing you over, we will wait outside, and we are not allowed to follow up." ”

Hey?

Jiang Yunyu was a little embarrassed, and at the same time felt a little happy, and she couldn't understand why she was happy.

She nodded, "Okay, I got it." He turned around again: "I'm sorry for you." ”

The old gate was as useless as it looked, and with a slight push, it opened without hindrance.

The yard is completely different and exquisite, full of delicateness.

Jiang Yunyu saw that person at a glance!

Many years later, she often remembered this scene: Xie Qinglin sat on a carved bench in the courtyard, wearing a dusty white robe, sitting casually and relaxed, with a leisurely expression, a very faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a red plum fluttering on his shoulder, at this moment the world was silent.

Jiang Yunyu almost forgot to breathe, and only looked at the person in front of her.

This person once imprisoned her for seven years, which made her resentful: he also made her worry about her stomach and think about it.

She originally thought that at the moment of reunion, she might be ecstatic, or cry with joy, or express her grievances and thoughts to the fullest, but she didn't expect it to be so calm now.

It's as if the two of them have always been together, never separated, and at the moment it's just her going out on the street and coming back in the afternoon.

Xie Qinglin seemed to be waiting for her to say something first.

Jiang Yunyu hesitated again and again, and only said slowly: "I'm back." ”

Xie Qinglin stood up from his chair, and although his movements were fast, he still had a hint of gentleness.

Jiang Yunyu's eyes widened as she watched the person approach her step by step.

His handsome features gradually enlarged, until she saw the endless galaxy in his eyes again.

His eyes are willingly intoxicating.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xie Qinglin looked at her stunned, gently took her hand, and carefully held it in his hand.

At this moment, the fiery temperature in her hands spread throughout Jiang Yunyu's body, making her feel that this cold wind was no longer so intimidating.

She heard her heart pounding.

Boom......

Something quietly melted in the bottom of my heart.

It was only afterwards that she realized that there was something wrong with what she said, but neither of them noticed it at this time.

How can she say it's "back"?

Her home is in small Tanyang County, Yu Luojing, she is just a foreigner.

Gu Yuan is good.

It's a pity that this Gu Garden is not his hometown, she is still a stranger in the end.

From then on, she entrusted her entire wealth to this person, and she rushed all the way to achieve her ethereal mission.

Meanwhile.

In a sparsely populated place on the outskirts of Luojing, in a small dilapidated wooden house with air leaks on all sides.

A dozen or so children of different sizes shivered together to keep warm, and the ability of this wooden house to keep out the cold is almost equal to none.

They were male and female, large and small, and the only difference was that they were all skinny and bone-covered, and the bones at the joints were very abruptly ridged.

The room was airtight, without any windows, and the only door was locked, and I am afraid that only the wind could come and go freely.

Lan Qian, who has been missing for many days, is one of these children.

She suddenly felt dizzy that day, and she didn't know where she was going, only that her consciousness became more and more blurred, and then she didn't remember anything at all.

When she woke up again, her hands were tied behind her back, and she was left with a group of scrawny children.

The person who kidnapped them was obviously an amateur and his methods were very unprofessional, or perhaps because Yu Leak had been trained well in the past two years, she easily broke free of the rope.

Even the opportunity to escape, she didn't find it.

Merely.

She also knew that she must have worried the young lady, but she really couldn't bear to leave this group of children who called her "sister" and ran away alone.

Although she is not very old, she has already consciously taken on the responsibility of taking care of people.

She was afraid that as soon as she left, these children would have to be killed by them, and she could escape first and then bring someone to rescue them, but she didn't dare to gamble.

"Sister, I ...... hurt"

A little pale and thin girl leaned on her leg and sobbed.

Lan Qian's heart suddenly pinched, this child was delicate and frail, and after two days of such a harsh environment, she contracted the wind cold, coughing all day, and she herself looked very uncomfortable, so she had to gently hold her in her arms and coax her softly.

She was full of confusion, she had been waiting for an opportunity, and from the conversation of those people she knew that they had arrived in Luojing, and she felt that the time was coming.

It's going to be over soon, she thought.

Shangshu Mansion.

Chen Yuanli can indeed become a model worker among civil officials, and when others are still enjoying the afterglow of the Spring Festival, he has already devoted himself to public affairs.

Moreover, someone else has another job, and he has two.

He can't wait to break a heart in half to use: half of it is conscientious and conscientious for the emperor's plan, above board, true and false; Half of it is completely for the sake of the Chen family, it is full of charms, and this half of the heart is already full of holes.

Now it is the half that belongs to the Chen family that is exhausted.

Chen Yuanli was conspiring with several subordinates in the study.

He asked suspiciously, "Why did the prince put his hand into the Imperial Forest Army again?" When did it happen, why didn't you say it earlier? There was a faint look of anger in his words.

The subordinates bowed their heads in fear: "Big ...... Your Excellency forgives me, my subordinates thought that this was just a trivial matter that was not worth bothering, and it was not worth disturbing your lordship......"

"Bastard! It's about the East Palace, what other small things are there? Chen Yuanli slapped the table heavily and scolded angrily.

He took a sip of warm tea, calmed down a little, and asked with a solemn expression, "What is he here for?" ”

"The subordinates are stupid, and they can't guess what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do."

"Rubbish stuff!"

"Whose hands are the Kings now?"
