The Chengnan Nunnery, located at the foot of the green mountain, is far away from the world, and has a clear and quiet atmosphere.

Zhu Ran, as the mother of the palace, came out of the palace to the nunnery to send guards to protect her. It's just that in such an unearthly place, Zhu Ran doesn't want to break the tranquility here because of her arrival. Next to the gate of the nunnery, he instructed the deputy guard of the fourth rank beside him: "You just take someone to wait here, and in less than two hours, I will come out." ”

"...... The emperor instructed Weichen to protect his mother! "The deputy guard is embarrassed.

"This is a nunnery, and if you break into it with weapons, you will collide with the cultivators inside."

"This ......" the deputy guard looked at the guards behind him and ordered everyone: "Take off your swords when you enter the nunnery!" ”

Zhu Ran said impatiently: "I order you to wait for me here, and I will explain to the emperor!" ”

As soon as he entered the nunnery, two nuns came to guide Zhuran. Walking to the nunnery, the abbot of the nunnery folded his hands and said to Zhuran: "The donor is surnamed Zhu?" ”

Zhuran replied yes.

The abbot verified Zhu Ran's identity, didn't say much, and said to the little nun beside him in a slow voice: "Lead the bamboo donor to the west side room." ”

The little nun led Zhuran to the west side room and left. Zhu Ran instructed Xiao Ge beside him: "You wait for me outside!" ”

Pushing the door into the house, at the moment of pushing the door, there was a trace of expectation in Zhuran's heart, but it was immediately covered by another sadness.

When I entered the house, I closed the door, and when I turned around, I saw the emaciated back, and the strands of silver hair hidden between the black hair. A sour feeling surged up to the tip of Zhu Ran's heart, how old is he, and before he was established, he actually gave birth to a trace of gorgeous hair!

Dong Jie turned his back to the door and sat on the meditation cushion in the middle of the room. Listen to the sound of the door opening, slowly stand up, and turn away.

The two stood facing each other. Zhu Ran looked at Dong Jie and described it as withered, his eyes were dull, and his lips were chapped and white. Where is still the young handsome, talented, sixteen-year-old imperial examination won the top of the list, all the way up, less than thirty years to become the county guard of the talented Dong Jie.

Dong Jie looked at Zhu Ran, and the portrait of his aunt hanging at home was three points similar, but there was a quality in his eyebrows and eyes that his aunt did not have.

Two relatives who have never met each other will inevitably be a little rusty when they meet for the first time. Zhu Ran called first: "Cousin......"

Dong Jie bowed down slightly and called Zhu Ran: "Niangniang." "The voice is unusually hoarse.

Looking at the irrepressible hatred and grievances in Dong Jie's eyes, Zhu Ran couldn't say any words of consolation. She knew why Dong Jie called her Niangniang instead of her cousin. There are two reasons, one is that he has been waiting for her here for four days, and she is only here today. He couldn't help but doubt her attitude of justifying the name of the Dong family and avenging it. The second is that he is at the end of his rope at this time, and no one can count on him except Zhu Ran, so calling her mother is to remind Zhu Ran to remember to avenge the Dong family.

Zhu Ran explained to Dong Jie, "Three days ago, I asked Dong Fang to send a letter to arrange for my cousin to come here, but I only came today, not because I deliberately delayed, and the matter of correcting Dongmen's name has always been in my heart." It's just that I'm in the palace, and the emperor is treating me now..., I have my problems, and I hope my cousin understands. I came here today to discuss countermeasures with my cousin. ”

Dong Jie listened to Zhu Ran's frank words, looked at Zhu Ran, and wanted to speak, but thousands of feelings were depressed in his heart, his parents, wife and children, and people close to him all died indirectly because of him. cried bitterly, knelt down and said to Zhu Ran: "If my cousin can correct the name of the Dong family and the enemy of the bloody blade, my Dong Jie's life is yours!" ”

Zhu Ran leaned over to help Dong Jie and said, "Cousin, hurry up, time is limited, let's make a long story short......"

More than an hour later, Zhu Ran asked Dong Jie what he wanted to know. Then he explained to Dong Jie: "After I leave in a while, my cousin will also quietly leave from the back mountain, and before I correct Dongmen's name, no one will know that we have met." Dong Fang and Anzhongzhu have an indissoluble bond, if we still need to meet in the future, I will ask Dong Fang to inform my cousin, and we will meet in this way. It's just that... It's just that the matter of correcting the name of Dongmen needs to be considered in the long run, and my cousin has to be wronged for a while, waiting for my cousin's good news. ”

"Good! As long as you can take revenge, let alone wait for a while, it's worth waiting for three or five years! ”

Zhu Ran came out of the house, still covering the door.

Xiao Ge thought that the person Zhu Ran saw was Dong Yuqing, and at this time, seeing Zhu Ran walking out of the house a little tired, he stepped forward to support Zhu Ran and asked, "Are we going back?" ”

Zhu Ran thought of Dong Yuqing in the nunnery, sighed softly and said, "Let's go to the south wing to see my mother......"

Xiao Ge was suddenly puzzled, but he didn't ask, and carefully helped Zhu Ran to walk to where Dong Yuqing lived.

When Zhu Ran arrived at the south wing, he was just in time for Dong Yuqing to chant at noon, and he didn't see outsiders. Yu'er waited by the door, looked at Zhu Ran who came over, and couldn't help but be surprised, ran a few steps to meet Zhu Ran, and said in surprise: "Why is Miss here!" ”

Zhu Ran lightly held Yoo'er's hand, looked at the door of Dong Yuqing's house closed, and couldn't help asking, "Where is my mother?" ”

Joel glanced at the door, shook his head, and said, "Madame sends the scriptures, and when the time comes, she will recite the scriptures, from noon to Shenshi, day after day, day after day." ”

"Do you want to recite to Shen?" Zhu Heyu promised her to be here for two hours, and she had to go back before Zhu Ran Shenshi.

Zhu Ran stood outside for half an hour, and quietly asked You'er about Dong Yuqing's recent situation, but You'er was afraid that Zhuran would remember, so he only said that Dong Yuqing was all right, and reported good news and not bad news.

Zhu Ran comforted himself and said: "Being in such a quiet place, my mother can be physically and mentally peaceful......"

In the end, at the urging of the guards, Zhu Ran had to go. I wanted to see Dong Yuqing. knocked lightly on the door and said to Dong Yuqing in the house: "Mother, Ran'er is here." ”

The room was as quiet as no one, and Dong Yuqing did not react in the slightest. Zhu Ran said again: "But this one goes...... I don't know when I will see my mother, and my mother doesn't want to see her? ”

There was still no sound in the room.

The guards at the door didn't dare to urge Zhu Ran, so they urged Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge was helpless, and said to Zhu Ran: "Niangniang, we should go!" ”

Zhu Ran gave up seeing Dong Yuqing, and said goodbye to Dong Yuqing through the door: "Ran'er should go, I hope my mother will take care of her health." ”

turned around and wanted to leave, and suddenly heard Dong Yuqing's voice coming from the room: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to come here to see me again in the future." ”

“……”

Zhu Ran was speechless after hearing this.

Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, Zhu Ran thought of the conversation with Dong Jie in his mind.

She asked: Uncle Sheng... Did you have a good relationship with the minister during your lifetime?

Dong Jie recalled carefully, and said after a long time: "My father had a good relationship with Li Gongxi, the right secretary of the province, and he could also talk to Cao Zhen, the concubine of Princess Shoukang......

Li Gongxi, the secretary of the provincial government, is Li Tinghui's uncle. Zhu Ran silently recited the name of this person twice in his heart.

From the south of the city nunnery back to the palace passing through the market. Xiao Ge couldn't help but poke his head out to look. Zhu Ran had a momentary illusion and took Xiaoge as Shuixin. I haven't seen Shui Xin for a long time, but there is a chance during this time......
