Sitting in the carriage, Xiaobao looked at the palace farther and farther away, and couldn't help but look at Baili Lan and asked, "Eldest sister, let's not say hello to my brother-in-law, can we just go like this?" ”

"I told him last night, and he knew we were leaving." Tapping the tip of Xiaobao's nose, Baili Lan smiled, "Don't worry. Don't you like to ride a camel, it will take us about a month and a half to reach the desert, so let's start imagining how to spend an unforgettable trip! ”

Originally, he was still in a gloomy mood, but when he heard Baili Lan mention the desert, he immediately became cloudy and emotional, and his little head immediately appeared in his little head to conquer the various "majestic postures" he had conquered on the desert, and he couldn't help grinning stupidly.

It's really a child!

Seeing Xiaobao's appearance, Baili Lan couldn't help but shake her head and smile, secretly thinking that the world of children is simple, and a little happiness can offset the sorrow in her heart. Perhaps in their minds, sorrow is an abstract thing.

Turning her gaze and looking at the receding street, Baili Lan suddenly found that it seemed that she hadn't seen Chang'an Wuhua for a long time. Ever since he got in touch with Nangong Jingchen, he seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't know what he was busy with recently.

Spring Breeze and Xia Yu were waiting for Baili Lan in the carriage, and Bai Lilan's voice suddenly came from their ears, and they asked: "Why is Baixiangmen so quiet recently, has it been reported and exposed by anyone?" ”

Chunfeng and Xia Yu looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "The slave doesn't know. Today, I also heard the county lord mention it, and I remembered that it seems that I haven't seen the faceless master for a long time. Didn't you follow the county lord very diligently before? Why did the prince disappear as soon as he arrived in the capital? ”

Regarding this question, Xia Yu seemed to know very well, straightened his chest, and said proudly: "Then do you still need to ask, it must be that the faceless master of the sect is also secretly promising our county lord, I thought that I could get a moment of happiness by secretly protecting it, but I didn't expect the prince to come so quickly." Everyone is here, and no matter how sad the faceless master is, he has to stay away from the county lord. Hey, so the Yanless Sect Master is also very infatuated with the county lord, but I don't know if he will have the same handsome appearance as the prince after that iron mask? ”

Poking his finger at Xia Yu's forehead, the spring breeze said helplessly: "You, when you encounter something like love and love, you are very energetic, as if you have experienced a hundred battles." ”

"I've never eaten pork and never seen a pig run, the more I've seen it, the more I'll know," Xia Yu said indifferently, "And I'm called smart, and I'm good at summarizing, I learned it from the county lord!" Saying that, Xia Yu smiled smugly at Baili Lan, as if he had really learned some real skills from his master.

Smiling helplessly, Baili Lan closed her eyes slightly, imagining what wonderful things she would encounter on this trip.

However, before the journey officially began, Baili Lan and the others encountered a problem first. Although it was not a natural or man-made disaster, it was still tricky, because of the heavy rain that caused both carriages to leak. In order to avoid catching a cold, a few people took shelter from the rain in a dilapidated house outside the city, thinking that when the weather was fine tomorrow morning, they would find a family and buy a new carriage. But I didn't want to hear the rain, so I met an old man in this dilapidated house.

Qiu Shichang?

Qiu Shichang, who was patting the raindrops on his body, seemed to have never expected to meet Baili Lan here, his eyes were full of surprise and joy, and he couldn't help but say, "Princess, I didn't expect to meet you here." "Because of his identity, Qiu Shichang couldn't get too close to Baili Lan, even if he knew this morning that the emperor would leave the palace after agreeing to a country in the future, Qiu Shichang didn't see Bai Lilan so shocked and happy at this moment.

"Arashi...... Princess! When it came to the corner of his mouth, he was forcibly swallowed back by Qiu Shichang. Now that their identities are getting farther and farther apart, it is obviously inappropriate to call them by their first names.

Bai Lilan only felt that the man in front of him looked quite familiar, but if she wanted to say where she had seen him, she always felt that there was a checkpoint in her head, and no matter how she broke through, she couldn't break through, and all her memories were like a spring of water, isolated.

The spring breeze approached Baili Lan and whispered behind her: "County Lord, he is Qiu Shichang, the person who dreams of Yiling." But I used to serve by the young lady's side before. There is also a younger sister, named Ziyao, who also has a very good relationship with you. ”

How can a person who has a good relationship with him still become a henchman of Su Yiling?

Bai Lilan didn't understand the relationship here, and she didn't want to make trouble for herself, so she nodded and smiled at the man, which was considered to have said hello.

Worried that Baili Lan would be misunderstood by Qiu Shichang, Chunfeng smiled for Bai Lilan and said: "My county lord is infected with wind and cold, and his throat is uncomfortable, so it is not suitable to talk more. ”

After listening to Chunfeng's words, Qiu Shichang hurriedly looked at Baili Lan worriedly and asked, "Then the princess is not in any big trouble now, right?" ”

"It's okay, as long as you keep it, you don't have to worry about Lord Qiu. But Lord Qiu, why did he appear here? ”

"I ......" Qiu Shichang smiled bitterly and said, "I am no longer an official in the court, so I can't be regarded as Lord Qiu." Because of the previous thorough investigation of the forces of the imperial court and the previous dynasty, I was counted as a henchman of the Su Yiling faction, so I was dismissed and investigated. I thought that even if King Lanling ascended the throne in the future and reactivated the official eunuchs of the previous dynasty, he would be taboo, so it would be meaningless to continue to stay here, and he would not be able to display his ambitions as he imagined back then. In this case, it is better to go back to the countryside and live a life of idyllic seclusion. ”

Qiu Shichang said helplessly, and it could be seen that returning to the field to live in seclusion was not the life he wanted, but the world is impermanent, and in this troubled world, he often follows the wrong forces, which represents the end of his official career.

Looking around, Baili Lan found that there was a little girl who had been standing behind Qiu Shichang, and thought that she should be Qiu Ziyao. It's just that Chunfeng just said that this child is more intimate with him, why is he looking at his gaze and dodging? As if with fear.

Xia Yu also found Qiu Ziyao, his eyes were smiling, and he bent down and said, "Ah, the county lord of Ziyao is also here!" Come on, come on, our little boy is here today. It's been a long time since you've played together. ”

Following the sound and looking at Xia Yu, Qiu Ziyao also saw Xiaobao who was eyeing her, so she couldn't help but shrink back, and simply hid behind her brother.

Seeing that everyone felt strange about Zi Yao's performance, Qiu Shichang smiled and said, "Some time ago, the royal family of the previous dynasty was exterminated in the palace, and Zi Yao was also brought in. Although he also carried the identity of the county lord, but it was only sealed later, and the king of Lanling used this as an excuse to not imprison Ziyao in the palace, which was regarded as letting her live. Although this is a good thing, Zi Yao saw the tragic scene in the palace that day, and she was afraid of everything. Saying that, Qiu Shichang squatted in front of Zi Yao, looked at her eyes and smiled, "Zi Yao, this is your favorite county lord, why don't you come forward to say hello." ”

The deer-like eyes, looking at the people of Baili Lan who looked kind, gradually filled with water vapor, and said in an aggrieved voice: "But, aren't they going to live in the palace too, will they be the same as the emperor of the previous dynasty in the future, will they become so cruel and the end will be so miserable?" ”

"Ziyao!" Qiu Shichang's words stopped her disrespectful words, and said sharply, "The emperor of the previous dynasty could not live because of his own sin, don't you know what kind of people King Lanling and Princess Lanling are?" It's too late for them to love the people, how can they do something that has lost their conscience like the emperor of the previous dynasty? ”

Although these words were said to Zi Yao, they were also showing their sincerity to Bai Lilan, although he used to be a long-cherished person, but it was a helpless move at all. Now that the situation is clear, he is willing to continue to be loyal to the court at any time.

Looking at the black filial piety cloth that Qiu Shichang was carrying, Baili Lan knew the meaning of that position. It was for his deceased wife, who must have just died.

Looking at Baili Lan's gaze, fixed on Qiu Shichang's chest, the spring breeze opened his lips and asked, "Ah, why is Qiu Gongzi wearing filial piety cloth, but who in the family has suffered an accident?" ”

Laughing dismally, Qiu Shichang said in a hoarse voice: "It's the princess, after the death of the emperor of the previous dynasty, she couldn't afford to be sick, and she went there not long after." Hey, it's a pity that she is a good woman, but she was born in the emperor's family. But if you leave, you won't have to suffer the sins that follow. ”

"As a remnant of the previous dynasty, he was only imprisoned in the palace, and he still served with good food and drink every day, is this also considered a crime?" Bai Lilan turned her head slightly and looked at Qiu Shichang indifferently. Because she is not bothered by past memories, Bai Lilan can analyze the other party's mentality more accurately according to the current situation.

Bai Lilan's faint glance made Qiu Shichang dare not look directly, as if the thoughts in his heart were all understood by the other party and there was no concealment. Hurriedly lowered his gaze, Qiu Shichang couldn't help but smile bitterly, no matter when and where, he was not Baili Lan's opponent. I once thought that when I met her again, I was also a victim, and I could finally stand in front of Baili Lan openly, waiting for her confession. It's a pity that he was wrong again, Baili Lan never regretted the choice he made, and he never felt wrong.

The dark tide between the adults is surging, and the children will not understand, no, just when Baili Lan drank Qiu Shichang and the two of them came and went, Xiaobao couldn't bear it, ran to Qiu Ziyao's side, looked at her red little face, and said with a smile: "Ziyao, look at you, it seems that you have gained weight again." If you go on like this, you'll be a big apple! ”

Xiaobao felt that his words were very interesting, and after speaking, he was happy to himself, and he couldn't help but look happy, but it made Qiu Ziyao a little inexplicable.

Reaching out and pinching his cheek, Zi Yao thought to herself, even if she really became fat, would it be so funny?
