Not long after Xiao Song's words fell, Ran Yan saw a faltering person enter the ancestral hall.

"Let's go." Xiao Song held her hand.

As soon as the two of them entered the small pine forest, a figure flashed in front of Xiao Song like lightning.

"What?" Xiao Song's expression was slightly condensed.

Ran Yan also recognized this person as Xiao Song's right-hand guard, and ran all night. He was more flexible than Bai Yi, so he stayed in Chang'an to obey orders, but suddenly appeared here at this moment, something big must have happened.

"Ran Shilang is missing, he has been missing for seven days, Ran Lang has not been found all over the house, Ran Langjun went to our house for help, his subordinates have made their own claims, and they have sent people to search, but there is no clue, and the subordinates suspect Princess Baling." Although Ben Xiao only said suspicion, his tone was very sure that Ran Yunsheng would not disappear for no reason, and he would not let his family know that others would have the audacity to tie up a "man from a good family"!

Xiao Song obviously felt that Ran Yan's whole body was stiff, so he didn't shy away from it, reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I write a letter, you rush back immediately with my letter, go to the study in the mansion to find a blue 'colored' brocade bag, and 'hand' the contents to the imperial historian Ma Zhou along with the letter." ”

"Yes." Ben Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Song once took him into the house to live in order to protect Ran Yunsheng, so it aroused suspicion in the market, Ben Xiao naturally did not dare to slack off, he was anxious these days, but he did not dare to search the princess's courtyard with a few courages, and now that Xiao Song took over, his tense body and mind were suddenly very tired.

"Ten Brothers, He ······" Ran Yan couldn't go back immediately, the moment Ben Xiao said the news, many pictures flashed in her mind for a moment, Chai Xuanyi, who couldn't 'want' to die because of A Furong, Dou Chengfeng, who was 'lost' in A Furong, and Qin Yunlin's corpse lying on the operating table, Ran Yunsheng smiled, and in an instant, his body trembled uncontrollably in the ice cave.

Xiao Song noticed her change, and while being surprised in his heart, he took her into his arms, stroked her back, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid of Yan Yan, I have received a lot of Baling princesses' handles before, as soon as this thing is handed over, the saint will not turn a blind eye, at least Princess Baling can't enter and leave the palace 'door' freely, I estimate that I can return to Chang'an in the next two days, Ran Shilang will be fine, believe me." ”

She fears the corpses of those close to her. This has always been a weakness hidden in Ran Yan's heart that cannot be touched, Qin Yunlin's matter is a nightmare, maybe she shouldn't have insisted on the autopsy of the main knife in the first place, and this matter will not become her heart disease.

Ran Yan has always been an overly calm person, and the fear that could not be concealed at this moment made Xiao Song feel strange, he thought of the dream that Ran Yan had said in Jushui Town, his brows furrowed slightly, and the strength of hugging her became tighter and tighter.

Snuggled in Xiao Song's sturdy and warm arms, Ran Yan's mood gradually calmed down. Yes, Ran Yunsheng will not die, even if he is forced to be infected with A Furong, she must have a way to help him quit.

It's just that Ran Yunsheng is such a beautiful person in Ran Yan's mind, and she doesn't want to let those filthy filths pollute him in the slightest.

Ran Yan relaxed and realized that her back was covered with sweat, and she said softly, "I'm fine." ”

Xiao Song nodded and walked out of the pine forest with her.

Ran Yunsheng's disappearance must not be accidental, but Princess Baling has been waiting for an opportunity.

Ran Yan had already moved the mind of killing people and destroying her mouth, and she would not be impulsive enough to lose her mind, just because of a possible 'sex' to kill the princess of a country, but at this moment, she only had the words "cut the grass and eradicate the roots" in her heart.

"Yan Yan, you have to always remember that you are not alone now." Xiao Song noticed the abnormality and whispered in her ear, "Don't be impulsive. ”

Wan Lu led the 'waiter' to walk two feet behind him, and saw Xiao Song hanging his head from time to time to talk to Ran Yan, although he only saw his side face, but he could also feel that his demeanor was never gentle, and he was extremely happy.

Back in the house, after lunch, Bai Yi happened to come back to recover his life.

'Chun' came to refuse to admit that he had affection for Xiao Xuanzhi, but when he heard that Xiao Xuanzhi couldn't swallow for her, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and then refused to say a word.

Ran Yan thought about it before he said, "The person who 'Spring' came to maintain is actually Xiao Xuanzhi." ”

There was no one else who deserved her such desperation.

Xiao Song bowed his head and said, "But the tenth brother's affection for 'Chun' is not like a fake, even if the mother-son relationship between him and the eldest lady has always been bad, he has no reason to poison his mother." ”

Xiao Song himself is a master of disguise, how can ordinary people hide from him? What's more, he knows Xiao Xuanzhi relatively well.

The reason why Xiao Xuanzhi is 'sexual' and withdrawn is that Mrs. Dongyang has a lot of responsibility. Mrs. Dongyang's 'sex' is indifferent, and she doesn't even treat her son kindly, Xiao Xuanzhi experienced a few years of 'chaos' when she was young, and she didn't have a playmate around her, and she didn't have a good relationship with her brothers when she was just taken back to her family, so it led to today's indifference. He has always protected himself with indifference, but he is not as good at hypocrisy as Xiao Song.

"In this way, 'Chun' came to meet Xiao Shiyi, and it is very likely that Mrs. Dongyang gave her order, but in order not to involve Shilang, she refused to tell the real reason for the meeting······ I'm afraid this is not simple. Ran Yan speculated.

Xiao Song moved his lips, but did not make a sound. Ran Yan clearly saw that his mouth shape was: Mou Chujun.

If all this is shaken out, not only Mrs. Dongyang, but also the entire Xiao family will be implicated, and Xiao Xuanzhi, who is the son of Mrs. Dongyang, is the first to bear these three words, and half of the mystery has been revealed, it must be Mrs. Dongyang who colluded with a certain prince, for some reason, was poisoned by the prince's political enemies, of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Dongyang and the owner could not get along, so they were killed by the owner.

Ran Yan faintly felt that Ling Xiang's death had a lot to do with the poisoning of Mrs. Dongyang, and the closer he got to the truth, he felt more and more terrible.

Ran Yan had a chill down her spine, she looked at Xiao Song, and at this time she deeply understood why he was hypocritical, vicious, and cunning, just because she didn't want to be a victim of politics, she also began to sincerely admire people like Song Guogong and Wei Zheng, and dared to speak out, it really takes extraordinary courage, describing Wei Zheng's audience as carrying his head on his belt, and there is no exaggeration at all.

Li Shimin certainly has the strength to tolerate people, but even in the era of the supremacy of monarchy, politics does not belong only to the monarch.

Understanding this truth, Ran Yan also understands why Xiao Song, a bloody 'sexual' man, can endure so much. If you are not absolutely sure, you will shoot, and if you are unlucky, you will definitely have no bones left.

"The 'Spring' ······" There was a hint of pity in Ran Yan's dark eyes. If 'Chun' didn't know the importance of the matter, if it wasn't for the sake of protecting Xiao Xuanzhi, she wouldn't have to die.

"It's about the honor and disgrace of my Xiao family's 'door', when I stopped the clan from moving 'spring' to the government in the morning, my father and the patriarch were easily approved, and I guessed the relationship behind the matter." Xiao Song leaned on the backrest, picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "This matter is not necessarily uneven, the key is to see Mrs. Dongyang's attitude." ”

The Xiao family has always adhered to the ancestral motto and will not tolerate Xiao Shiyi, but he may just be beaten up a few boards and kneeling in the ancestral hall for a few days and nights, but 'Chun' will be killed by the cane.

Skip the poisoning for the time being, Xiao Shiyi and 'Chun' came to the 'private' meeting has become a fact, Xiao's high-sounding words in the ancestral hall have been spilled out, it is impossible not to be punished, but the life and death of 'Chun' is still negotiable.

"Lang Jun, ma'am." Evening green is outside the 'door'.

"What?" Ran Yan asked.

Evening Green Road, "The patriarch ordered someone to inform the evening to deal with Eleven Lang and 'Chun', if Lang Jun has time, he can go to witness." ”

If you have time, you can testify. In other words, can you go or not?

Xiao Song asked Wanlu to reply, and said "I know", and never said to go or not.

After Mrs. Tai was buried, Xiao Song was much more relaxed than before. After noon, in order to divert her attention and not let herself always think about Ran Yunsheng's affairs, she personally put out the orchid 'flowers' in the courtyard to do the 'yin', and Xiao Song sat opposite her to drink tea and enjoy the rare leisure days in the past few days.

But some people didn't want him to be idle, so he sat for less than a cup of tea, and a 'waiter' came to say goodbye, Xiao Shilang came.

Xiao Song asked him to come in.

Xiao Xuanzhi seemed to be haggard overnight, a shallow groove had been wrinkled in the center of his eyebrows, and his thin 'lips' were slightly pursed all the time, which was somewhat similar to Xiao Song's appearance, but much softer than him.

"Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law." Xiao Xuanzhi's voice was hoarse.

Xiao Song bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

Xiao Xuanzhi saluted Ran Yan and followed Xiao Song into the hall.

On the other side of the Xiao Mansion, the bamboo cultivation in the courtyard rustled with the breeze, adding a bit of tranquility to the already small courtyard, and there was a plain-clothed 'woman' sitting on the corridor, with eyebrows like distant mountains, and autumn water in her eyes, but her face was a little pale.

There are several pots of verdant dogwoods in front of her, and it is not yet the 'flower' season, but looking at this luxuriant appearance, she knows that it will bloom in autumn. And she was carefully trimming the extra branches and leaves of the dogwood.

"Madam, Juro went to Jiulang's." A middle-aged woman in a gray 'colored' skirt drooped her head under the porch.

Mrs. Dongyang's movements paused for two breaths, and then continued to prune, the appearance did not change from before, for a long time, seeing that the 'woman' had not left, she said lightly, "Let him go." ”

The gray-clothed 'woman' replied and retreated, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart, isn't it sad that her own son would rather ask his brother, who has never been close, than her mother? But alas, Mrs. Dongyang didn't care at all.

After the 'woman' left, Mrs. Dongyang's pruning action gradually slowed down, and she sat quietly for a long time, the breeze was 'rubbing', accompanied by the rustle of bamboo leaves, she sneered softly, I don't know whether she was laughing at herself or laughing at Xiao Xuanzhi.
