ancestral temple
Qi Lan took advantage of the situation to put his arms around Qianfeng's shoulders, took him in front of him, raised his hand to hook his chin, and his deep eyes looked directly into Qianfeng's eyes, staring at him quietly.
Qian Feng wanted to turn his head and break free, but he was stunned for a moment when he touched his eagle-like gaze, he felt that he was like a prey at this moment, and he would be dismantled and eaten by him if he was not careful.
"You really have a knack for making people swoon." With that, Qi Lan slowly approached, and the warm breath sprayed on Qian Feng's face, causing an inexplicable tingling.
"You ......" seemed to be unable to bear such an ambiguous atmosphere any longer, and just as the rugged lips were about to touch him, Qian Feng finally spoke, but was interrupted before he could say a word.
"Young Master!"
The two of them froze at the same time, and Qian Feng reacted at this time, raised his hand and patted off the hand that was clamped on his chin, rubbing his chin and thinking angrily: No, obviously I am stronger than him, I don't know how many times, why does it seem that I am the one who is restrained every time I confront him? What the hell is that?
Qi Lan didn't know these twists and turns in his stomach, but he quickly returned to normal, and turned around to look like a beautiful son. Seeing the person calling him behind him, Qi Lan instantly restrained his frivolous expression, hurriedly took two steps forward, and called gently: "Granny Rong." ”
Qian Feng also looked at the person, it was a woman about sixty years old, her expressionless face was covered with fine wrinkles, and although she was dressed as a subordinate, she used the best materials, judging from Qi Lan's attitude towards her, this person's status in the palace should not be low.
Seeing Qi Lan calling her, Granny Rong's expression still did not change, but she blessed her body lightly, and said again in a tone that did not fluctuate: "Young master has been tired all the way, hurry up and follow me back to the courtyard to rest!" ”
"Granny Rong, I said, you don't have to do these false courtesies to me." Rugged frowned slightly.
"Back to the young master, the ceremony must not be abolished." Granny Rong raised her eyelids and glanced at Qian Feng, and said, "This son came back with the young master?" Need to arrange a place for him to live? ”
Qi Lan helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and then said as he walked: "Just clean up the side room next to my bedroom and let him live for the time being!" ”
Granny Rong raised her eyes and glanced at Qian Feng again, then lowered her head and replied, "Yes." ”
However, just this glance made Qianfeng's hairs stand on end, and her eyes were too gloomy to make him feel very uncomfortable.
Granny Rong walked behind them, less than a quarter of an hour's journey, but Qian Feng walked very hard, he always felt that there was a poisonous snake-like gaze behind him that kept sticking to his back.
Looking at this courtyard located in the northeast corner of the palace, Qian Feng muttered silently in his heart: There is green everywhere, and one day it will be green to the top of his head!
As far as the eye can see, there are no other flowers and plants in the courtyard except for Xiangfei bamboo, which is in line with the name of Yilan Courtyard.
Maybe he was not in a good mood, Qi Lan greeted Granny Rong and left first. Granny Rong led Qianfeng all the way to the residence.
"If Childe has any needs, you can tell me, if there is no need for anything, please don't disturb the young master." After Granny Rong said these words expressionlessly, she left.
The moment he closed the door, Qian Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, this old woman was so terrible, he secretly decided in his heart that he must hide far away in the future.
After taking a bath and washing away the wind and dust, Qianfeng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, but fatigue also followed, and he fell into his dream after lying in the soft quilt for a while, and slept directly until the next morning, during which he even missed dinner.
However, the rugged mood in the ancestral hall of the palace is extremely complicated.
Since his return, he has entered the ancestral hall, and he has been standing in front of his mother's spiritual seat without saying a word until the door behind him is gently opened.
Qi Lan didn't look back, he knew who was coming, a gentle footsteps slowly approached, Granny Rong crossed Qi Lan and walked to the shrine to pick up three incense sticks and lit them on the ever-bright lamp, and then turned around and handed the fragrance with a slow light smoke to Qi Lan, and said lightly: "Since the young master has returned, let's put incense on the lady!" ”
"Hmm." Qi Lan stretched out his hand to take the incense and bowed three times in front of the spiritual seat, then inserted the incense into the incense burner before straightening up again. During this period, he had never glanced at the spirit tablet side by side with his mother's spiritual tablet, which was the tablet of the previous King of Flower Valley, Qi Moyu, that is, his father.
Quietly watching him finish all this, Granny Rong spoke again: "Young master is going to the imperial capital, but the matter is done?" ”
"Well, I've agreed with him that he'll help me."
A rare touch of joy appeared on Granny Rong's unwavering face, and there was an imperceptible tremor in her voice: "That's good, that's good......"
After calming down, Granny Rong asked again, "Who is that Qianfeng Gongzi?" ”
Qi Lan said indifferently: "He's just a little guy I bought from Drunken Hongchen, it doesn't matter." ”
"Young master, with all due respect to the old slave, although this Qianfeng face is born very well, it gives people the feeling that it is too bewitching, and leaving him in the palace is only afraid that there will be trouble."
"Granny Rong, I know what you want to say, you can rest assured, I don't have the heart to take care of anything else before the revenge is avenged, I have my own intentions for bringing him back."
Granny Rong's eyes flashed: "It's good that Childe remembers." ”
Qi Lan closed his eyes and hummed softly.
"I've asked someone to prepare the meal, young master, don't stand here, let's rest early!" Granny Rong saw that his face was tired, and she comforted him again.
"I'll accompany my mother for a while, you go down first!"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Granny Rong didn't say anything more and retreated as she said.
The door behind him slowly closed, and the dim candlelight blurred the rugged shadows, and the images gradually appeared in his mind, the mournful screams of women, the maids and servants who came and went, the blood that spread from the bed to the ground, the black baby, and the green hand of the mother who grabbed him tightly......
The seemingly delicate hand burst out with amazing strength at that moment, and the nails were tightly embedded in his skin, and it hurt so much that he still can't forget it.
Here it is again, as long as he returns to this place, this nightmare will be entangled like an appendage, making him almost suffocated, but fortunately, he will be freed immediately......
I don't know how long it took, but the sun shone in through the crack in the door, and he rubbed his swollen temples, turned around and opened the door, facing the rising sun, slowly revealing a cold smile.
