On the way here, Liu Hongjing had already received the news that the county lord of Tanglin had died of illness, and he didn't ask them much about the reason, but said: "Since the county lord is dead, the minions from Tanglin have all been executed on the spot." ”

Feng Lin had already heard the news that the county lord had died, and wept all the way, Wu Gonggong, An Gonggong and Thrush Willow Leaf They were also worried, not knowing what their fate would be, and now when they heard the Xiling Emperor say that they would be killed on the spot, they were all so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Father, the sons and daughters have died for nine lives, and they don't want to see blood again, so the father spared their lives and let them go to the harem to do some heavy work of burning coal and washing clothes." Liufan covered his mouth and coughed, pretending to be weak.

"Okay, Father listens to you, you get into the carriage quickly, it's cold outside." Liu Hongjing looked at him distressedly.

Ryufan took Xiaozhu to sit in the carriage, and the group turned the horse's head and returned to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

At the gate of the palace, Duanmu Yunji stood in the cold wind, her face was like frost, and her lips were purple. When the emperor's chariot and horse returned, she bowed her knees slightly to greet her.

Liufan got out of the carriage and saluted her expressionlessly: "The son visits the queen mother." ”

"No courtesy, the prince has a hard trip and magnificent achievements, go back to the palace to rest, the queen mother will wait for your eldest brother to return to the palace." Duanmu Yunji's face sneered.

"Fan'er, you go back to the East Palace first, and my father will talk to you later." Liu Hongjing got down from the dragon chariot, glanced at Duanmu Yunji with a calm face, and said to Liufan.

"Yes, the son will say goodbye to his father and queen mother later." Liufan continued to cover his mouth with his hands and cough, his body was rickety in the north wind, and it seemed that he would fall down at any time, Xiaozhu supported him, and slowly walked towards the Cheng'en Hall with the guards of the East Palace.

Duanmu Yunji saw Liuhongjing standing beside him, waiting for Liuhuo to return to the palace, and his gloomy face eased slightly. "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace, it's windy here, be careful of the dragon." She said with a slight blessing.

Liu Hongjing stood with his hands behind his back and did not speak. Duanmu Yunji didn't say anything anymore.

The eunuch ran over and put on a cloak for Liu Hongjing, bent down and stepped aside to wait.

At the gate of the city, a group of people and horses entered the city, and a young man sat on the horse at the head, he was dressed in a military uniform, with a tight handsome face, eyebrows like a knife, a high nose bridge, thin lips tight, dark eyes deep and guarded, there was a sense of innate coolness.

He is the eldest prince Liuhuo, he has received the news from the queen mother, the prince returned to the palace with him, and the father did not come to greet him, the eldest son who returned from the war in the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but went to greet the prince, and his cold face was even colder.

Ryuhuo and his close guards soon reached the palace gate, and he saw his father and mother standing at the palace gate from a distance, and hurriedly jumped off their horses and bowed down.

"Fire!" Duanmu Yunji excitedly went over to help him up.

Liu Hongjing glanced at him lightly and said, "I'm tired from a long journey, let's go back to the palace to rest first." ”

"Thank you, Father." Ryuhuo replied with a fist. Liu Hongjing had turned around and walked away, and Liuhuo and Duanmu Yunji looked at his back, and there was resentment and melancholy in their eyes.

In Taifu's mansion, Xiao Gudong had already returned from the back door with a sable in his arms, and Taifu got the news of the death of the lord of Tanglin County, and did not notice Xiao Gudong's worry-free abnormality.

"I didn't expect that the county lord would die of illness, alas, it was also a shameful life, so it was okay to save a lot of trouble." Taifu touched the white beard and said without worry.

"Master Taifu, since the prince has returned to the palace safely, a few of us will also return to Qingyunguan." Wuwu and Yunshang were in a hurry to go to Qiling Slope to meet Luo Lianyi, and they said goodbye to Taifu immediately. Taifu didn't keep them very much, and after saying some words of greeting to the head of the Mushi Dao, he sent them out of the house.

Jiang Feng drove the carriage to Qilingpo overnight, and all that kept coming to his mind along the way was Xiao Zhu's melancholy, deep pool-like eyes, inexplicably pitying. The next morning, he finally arrived at Qilingpo and stopped the carriage, he did not open the curtain to check, but only stood outside the carriage and waited quietly.

After about an hour, he saw a few dark shadows from a distance hurrying by, and he guessed that they should be carefree, and when they got closer, he saw a smile on his face when he saw Xiao Gudong, who was riding with a young man.

The horse quickly stopped beside him, and the son on the horse jumped out of the carriage, Jiang Feng heard that Xiao Zhu said that they were all girls dressed as men, so he arched his hand and said, "In Xia Jiangfeng, I have seen a few girls." ”

"Brother Jiang has been waiting for a long time, little sister is worry-free, Yunshang, Ni'er, Xiaohui." Worry-free clenched his fists, and introduced them one by one with a hearty smile, but Xiao Gudong couldn't wait to jump into the carriage. "Brother Jiang, what's wrong with the county lord?" Worry-free asked.

"It's not been twelve hours since I took the medicine yesterday, Jiang doesn't dare to go to the car to check on the county lord without permission, worry-free girl, go and see her." Jiang Feng said.

Wuwu nodded, got into the carriage with Yunsheng, Xiao Gudong anxiously hugged Luo Lianyi's head and cried: "Sister Wuwu, you see that the county lord's sister is already cold, she won't wake up, right?" ”

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaozhu said that if she can wake up, she will definitely wake up." Worry-free comforted him.

"Sister Sanssouci, have you heard of this poison from your master?" Yunshang asked.

Wu Wu shook his head: "Master's poison making and detoxification skills have only been passed on to Xiaozhu alone, and they will only be passed down in a single vein in the future. ”

"How many hours are left?" Little Gollum asked.

"Come on, let's get on the road first, it's not safe here." Wu Wu said, she called Ni Er Xiaohui into the carriage and said to Jiang Feng: "Brother Jiang, are you sending us up the mountain, or are you going somewhere else?" ”

"Jiang will send you up the mountain, I haven't visited the Taoist for a long time." Jiang Feng jumped on the horse with a smile, and after instructing a few girls to sit down, they galloped in the direction of Qingyunguan.

The carriage was bumpy, but Luo Lianyi didn't react in the slightest, Xiao Gudong grabbed her cold hand, looked at her without blinking, and waited for her to open her eyes magically.

At noon, Xiao Gudong said, "I remember that yesterday was this time, why hasn't the county lord's sister woken up yet?" ”

Wu Wu opened the curtain and asked Jiang Feng: "Brother Jiang, was it this time when the county lord took medicine yesterday?" ”

Jiang Feng nodded: "Almost." ”

"Sister of the county lord! Sister of the county lord! Why haven't you woken up yet! Xiao Gudong was anxious, holding Luo Lianyi's head and crying and shouting, tears and snot flowing down her face.

"Ahem-" Luo Lianyi suddenly coughed twice, Xiao Gudong was overjoyed, hugged her and shouted: "Sister of the county lord!" You're awake! You're awake! Carefree and Yunshang also gathered around in surprise and called her loudly.

Luo Lianyi opened his eyes and said angrily: "I woke up, I slept really heavily this night, Xiaozhu is a sleeping pill, right?" Why is my face so slimy? She reached out to touch her wet face.
