When Lan Jing'an walked to the door, Bi Luan was practicing swords in the courtyard, while Ziqing held a book and sat under the porch. Lan Jing'an felt extremely embarrassed, it was already early October, and the weather was cold. Because what they talked about today was really confidential, they didn't get into the house to warm up for a day. Biluan is okay, Ziqing's little face is a little frozen white.

Lan Jing'an couldn't help but say to Ziqing: "I'm sorry today, I've let you freeze outside for so long." "No matter how much resentment there is in Ziqing's heart, now that he sees An Lan being careful with him like this, he can't express it. Waving his hand, he was about to say that he was fine, but his nose was itchy, and before he could cover it, a sneeze rushed towards Lan Jing'an.

This time it was Ziqing's turn to be embarrassed, he saw An Lan frowning, thinking that she disliked herself, and her face turned red. Unexpectedly, she took out a handkerchief, handed it to him, and said to him: "This winter is cold, it's not a joke, you have to be careful, don't get frostbite." If you feel unwell, just go to the bookstore and ask for a doctor. ”

Ziqing nodded. Since Mr. asked him to go to the largest bookstore in Jiangling City with the bamboo card that Lan Jing'an sent for the second visit, he knew that the small bamboo card he didn't like at the beginning was of great use, in addition to being able to get books for free at the bookstore, he could even be used as a token to enter and leave the city. It was only at that time that he gradually understood how great the energy of this An Lan was.

Lan Jing'an instructed him a few words, and then left with Feng Shen and the others. She ran horses and practiced archery in the racecourse, shooting arrows one by one, but she was not very happy in her heart. On the one hand, she knew that she couldn't talk about Mr. Aota, and he had given her all the books he had written to govern the world, which had made his attitude clear. On the other hand, she was worried that she would fail the trust of Mr. Qingtian and the people of the world.

was so uncertain, and as a result, not only did she lose her usual level, but she didn't even notice the freezing rain in the sky. It was Bi Luan who rode a horse to find her back, and she suddenly woke up. When she returned to the Chengjing Palace, she felt faintly uncomfortable, and after a day or two, sure enough, the wind and cold gradually rose, and her illness suddenly became serious.

During this time, Xie Weining reorganized his manpower and launched an attack on the Dian State. Many displaced people fled east and flowed into Jiaozhou. And Qian Xi, the former governor of Jiaozhou, who had already established himself as king, did not like these untransformed people, and drove them north, wanting to throw the burden to the cadres in Jingzhou. At this time, Zhang Xun had just returned, and Lan Jing'an was busy discussing with him how to deal with the homeless, so he did not follow Jiang Mingshu's medical advice to rest well.

As a result, the small wind chill eventually led to a serious illness, and Lan Jing'an had a high fever that did not go away, and he was completely bedridden. At the same time, Ziqing also contracted the wind cold and returned it to Guo Qingtian. Guo Qingtian is already an old man over seventy years old, a small wind chill may kill him, he is sick, even worse than Lan Jing'an.

Lan Jing'an received the news, where can he still take care of himself, and hurriedly asked Biluan to take Jiang Mingshu to see Mr. Qingtian and Ziqing in person, leaving only Sumei to take care of herself in the Chengjing Palace.

When a person is sick, he is extremely vulnerable, even if Lan Jing is strong on the outside, when the fever is high and the whole body is trembling, he can't help but feel uncomfortable and want to cry. All she thought about was Brother Qingyun's warm embrace and the gentleness when he called her Ahri. Biluan, who was on duty at night, heard her shouting in a daze that it was still Xiao Qingyun, and she felt very sorry for her in her heart.

Lan Jing'an's illness can't go to Mr. Qingtian anymore. By the time the illness of both cowards was completely cured, more than half a month had passed. Therefore, when Lan Jing'an stepped into Guo Qingtian's thatched house again, he had already entered the winter moon. Her face wrapped in the big curtain was slightly reduced, but her complexion was still much better than Guo Qingtian's.

Lan Jing'an saw that although Mr. Qingtian's eyes were clear, he coughed from time to time, and remembered the reason why he refused to enter the office in the first place, and became more and more worried about him.

Guo Qingtian also noticed that his body was getting worse day by day, so he stepped up his teaching to Lan Jing'an. He refused to call Lan Jing'an an an apprentice, only regarded her as a friend, but he handed over all the things he had learned and thought over the years to her.

Under the pretext of the cold winter, Lan Jing'an wanted to invite Mr. Qingtian to live in the Chengjing Hall several times, but he politely refused. However, Guo Qingtian couldn't bear to let Lan Jing'an brave the wind and snow to run between the Chengjing Palace and his apartment outside the city every day, and finally accepted her and Zhang Xun's kindness, and moved to a house that Zhang Xun arranged for him in the city with Ziqing.

Since Mr. Qingtian lived in Gangneung City, Lan Jing'an went to his residence more frequently, and if there was no special matter, he basically went every day. Although Lao Du and other Xia people wondered why Da Si Ming liked to play chess so much, they saw that there was an old man and a young man living in the house, and the details of Jiangling City confirmed that these two people had nothing to do with the Qianjun, so they did not suspect it.

And Lan Jing'an was careful when she went in and out, and found everyone as a cover, except for the people from the Chengjing Hall and a few people under Zhang Xun, no one really knew the details of her recuperation in Jiangling. On the contrary, the people of Gangneung took pity on this great priest who could not recover from his illness.

In Layue, the cadres on the Xianbei side sent back the news for the first time, Liu Cong and Master Zhiyuan had contacted the people of the major Xianbei clans according to the established arrangement, and the rumors had just risen. And Qiu Shaoze, who took the shadow guards to assassinate him, has also arrived in Shan Yuting, the capital of Xianbei.

When Lan Jingan heard the news, he couldn't help but share it with Mr. Qingtian when he went to Guo Qingtian's apartment.

After Guo Qingtian heard the news, he gave a son, nodded, and asked her: "If you are the Empress Dowager Duan, what should you understand?" ”

Lan Jing'an, who was sitting on the other side of the chessboard, was thinking about Mr. Qingtian's question while thinking about the chess game. Lan Jing'an is now making great progress in chess, and Guo Qingtian has begun to train her to be dual-minded. She thought about it, and said as she fell: "The harm of rumors is the most difficult to understand. I'm afraid I can only stop the rumors with rumors, right? ”

Guo Qingtian touched his beard: "No." Stop rumors with rumors, and the current rumors can temporarily subside, but the next time they are mentioned by someone with a heart, they still can't be avoided. The best way to do this is to be open and honest. ”

Lan Jing'an was a little puzzled: "It's only four words to be open and honest, but what if others don't believe it?" Guo Qingtian pointed to the chessboard and said, "Wu Min, I made a mistake." Lan Jing'an looked down, and sure enough, she was distracted and made a mistake again, and she was still not good enough for both purposes.

Guo Qingtian's lazy review only allowed Lan Jing'an to change this step, and the two continued to go down. Then he said, "There is no basis for what is spoken, let alone spoken from the Lord." Therefore, openness and honesty should be done by people who are close and convincing. Then the Lord will test it to be invincible. ”

Lan Jing'an pondered for a moment and said: "In other words, the one who can clarify Helian's life experience should be his royal elders, and Empress Dowager Duan only needs to let Helian recognize his relatives by blood and confirm that he has nothing to do with the rumored Tuoba person?" ”

Guo Qingtian nodded: "Only this way can we keep the position of King Helian and break our humble plan from the root." But you see, whether it is Empress Dowager Duan or He Lian, they will not do this, so they are doomed to lose this game. ”

Lan Jing'an was careful with this, and looked up at Mr. Qingtian after he was done: "Why do you assert this?" ”

Guo Qingtian couldn't help but smile a little when he saw the beauty of her subordinates: "Without him, I am arrogant." Whether it is Empress Dowager Duan or He Lian, the days of being high above have passed for too long, where are you willing to bow your head again? Naturally, I hope to suppress the rumors by thunderous means. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Qingtian sighed: "Rumors are like sand, the tighter you hold them, the faster they flow." And everyone in the world has two sides, and the spread of rumors caters to the contemptuous side of people's hearts. Do you say that if you swing the whip in the dark, will you hit the opponent or hurt yourself by mistake? It's better to light a lamp, and the charm will appear. ”
