Chapter 100: Map Puzzle
Hearing Bai Lilan say this, all the women lowered their heads with self-reproach, and said in a weak tone: "The slave is incompetent and has not been found yet." ”
"It's strange," Bai Lilan muttered with his arm supporting his chin, "Why is it that Nangong Jingchen can recognize the place at a glance, you have been looking for so long and there is no news?" Could it be because Nangong Jingchen grew up here and is more familiar with the surrounding situation? ”
"County Lord, why don't you look for it with the prince?" Qiu Shuang knew that Baili Lan had shown the map to Nangong Jingchen, so she said, "Since the prince already knows about the map and is very familiar with it, why don't you let the prince help you?" You have always told your slaves and maids that you have to do things in a proper way, and if you can make it simple, you will never have to go around in circles, and now that you have come to you, how can you do the opposite? ”
"This map is originally the stuff of the Dingnan Palace, why should I let an outsider worry about it?" Bai Lilan frowned and said, "And I'm not stupid than Nangong Jingchen, what he can find, I can also find, I don't need him at all." Okay, if you can't find it, then keep looking. I didn't find any clues before, probably because the places on the map are very hidden and not something that can be found on weekdays. So you should also change your perspective, don't just focus on the places you can visit on weekdays, focus on the places that no one cares about, and even go to the places where Nangong Jingchen used to play when he was a child. Time is running out for us, and we must find out the secrets on the map as soon as possible, got it? ”
"Yes!"
After the maidservants left the room, Xiaobao walked in slowly, walked to Baililan's side, and said a little mysteriously: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law said that he wanted to see you." ”
Raising her eyebrows, Bai Lilan said, "Come on, why do you act like a thief?" ”
"Because my brother-in-law said that only the two of you will go out today! What is it...... Belch...... Private meeting! Well, right! ”
Bai Lilan sneered, secretly thinking that this Nangong Jingchen is really tireless, Xiaobao is a child, he actually asked him to pass on such words, see him later, and see how he cleans him up!
It was a little windy outside, so Bai Lilan grabbed a cloak and went to the front yard.
There were sporadic ministers walking out in the courtyard, and three or two people were still talking together, it seemed that Nangong Jingchen had just finished a meeting.
Li Yizheng was talking about something with the people next to him, and after seeing Baili Lan, he bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Minister, I have seen the princess." ”
There were newly promoted ministers around, who had never seen Baili Lan, and when they heard Li Yi say this, they gave him a big gift. But Bai Lilan turned a blind eye to these and left directly, as if he had never seen them.
"Really, it's just a princess, so no one in sight!" A young official was a little resentful of Baili Lan's indifference, frowned and said, "Why should you all be so respectful to her, a woman is also worthy of worship by us learned people?" It's ridiculous! ”
Listening to the man's words, Li Yi said solemnly: "If you still want to wear this official uniform, it's best not to say these words in the future!" ”
The man seemed to be very unconvinced, tilted his neck and said: "The prince is not the kind of person who is fascinated by beauty at all, not to mention that the princess does not know etiquette, even if she is in a high position, let us leave again!" In fact, what he thought was that Baili Lan did not have family power in the court, even if she became a queen in the future, she would be a powerless queen, and she would not have any power at all, which was not enough to justify, so Princess Lanling was not qualified to show off her power in front of the pillars of these countries, and there was no one in her eyes.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "The prince loves the princess, not because of her beauty, but because there is no second woman in the world, just like the princess, brave and brave against men, wise and fighting." It can be said that if the princess is a man, she is definitely a hero on the dominant side! What the princess did before was enough to make her a heroine in the eyes of the people of Lanling! Before you become an official in the court, you'd better understand these things carefully, otherwise, you won't know how you really died! Li Yi didn't want to talk to such a sour person, so he flicked his sleeves and left.
"Hey, it's just a woman, how can it be so powerful as Master Li said!" The official still defended without giving up, but there was no one around him who dared to talk to him, who knows if this person will appear tomorrow, and the most important thing is not to be implicated.
Walking straight into Nangong Jingchen's room, Baili Lan looked at Nangong Jingchen sitting in front of the desk, and asked concisely, "Say, what trick are you playing this time?" ”
Putting down the pen in his hand, Nangong Jingchen smiled gently: "What is Lan'er talking about?" ”
"Don't pretend to be garlic, it's not you who asked Xiaobao to give me the words, let me go out with you......" Saying this, Baili Lan glared at Nangong Jingchen fiercely, "From now on, pay attention to what you say in front of Xiaobao, he is still a child, not a guy like you who has experienced a big dye vat, so please don't say anything to him!" ”
"It turns out that Lan'er came in such a hurry, just to reprimand her husband," Nangong Jingchen sighed melancholy, and then walked to Baili Lan's side with some sadness, looked at her with both eyes, and said aggrievedly, "My husband will pay attention in the future, Lan'er, don't be angry, I finally managed to spare time today, let's go out and relax together, okay?" ”
"Distracted?" Baili Lan looked Nangong Jingchen up and down and asked, "Good and dignified, what are you going out for?" Did you plan to do anything again? ”
"My plan is to be able to be alone with Lan'er," Nangong Jingchen approached Baili Lan, and said affectionately, "Since I came back, I have been dealing with state affairs, and Lan'er is also boring to stay in the palace all day, why don't we two go out for a walk and relax, okay?" ”
"You mean, it's just the two of us?"
"Exactly."
With her eyes rolling, Bai Lilan secretly wanted to go out with Nangong Jingchen, just to see if there were any clues around, so she soothed her complexion and said, "Then where are you going to relax?" ”
"Well...... Nangong Jingchen deliberately sold a pass, and said with the tip of Baili Lan's nose, "Lan'er will know when the time comes!" ”
Standing on the side of a cliff, Baili Lan sat on horseback, looked at the surrounding scenery, and asked suspiciously, "Where is this?" ”
Hearing this, Nangong Jingchen asked with some disappointment, "Lan'er, can't you remember it at all?" ”
Bai Lilan shook her head and said, "I don't have an impression, I said Nangong Jingchen, you won't be playing a game to recover your memory again." If that's the case, then I'll go back first. ”
Seeing Baili Lan turn the horse's head, Nangong Jingchen hurriedly held her hand and said, "Lan'er, this is the place where you fell off the cliff that day, do you really not remember?" ”
Bai Lilan's movements stopped, and then slowly turned his head and looked at Nangong Jingchen with coldness and alienation in his eyes. "Why do you have to remind me of the past? I think I'm fine now, please don't impose your thoughts on me, it will only make me hate you very much! ”
"But we can't always have a layer of separation between us!" Nangong Jingchen said a little impatiently, "I think you can remember our past, our happiness, instead of just counting hatred on me, that's unfair to me!" ”
"Okay, even if I'm standing on the edge of a cliff, but what about after that? I'll be able to remember everything? Baili Lan looked at Nangong Jingchen coldly and said, "You also saw it, I'm standing here now, but my mind is still empty, and there is nothing." I've already done what you want me to do, and since it doesn't work, why am I here to blow the wind with you! ”
Nangong Jingchen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at Baili Lan and said with a smile: "Lan'er, we have come to this day with great difficulty, no matter what, we can't give up easily, right?" Come, give me your hand, close your eyes, and try to remember what happened here. Nangong Jingchen felt that this was the place where Baililan's memory ended, and he used so many methods, but he couldn't make Baililan recover his memory, maybe as Dr. Su said, Baililan himself didn't want to remember. So now he wants to force Lan'er and take the initiative to face the past. Those are just misunderstandings, he doesn't want the two of them to be tormented by this unwarranted misunderstanding in this life!
Looking at the pleading in Nangong Jingchen's eyes, Baili Lan's heart softened a little, thinking that if he didn't agree to this man, he didn't know what other way he would come up with to torture himself, so he closed his eyes as he said.
"Lan'er, the first time we met, was on the side of the street, at that time you were chased by the wicked, and I came to the rescue. But instead of being grateful to me, you looked at me with disgust, and I was a little overwhelmed. ”
That's because your disguised appearance is exactly the same as Iller's, which is annoying from the bottom of your bones!
"The next few times we met, we broke up unhappily, and the disgust in your eyes could not be hidden, which made me wonder where I offended you. I keep getting closer to you as a peerless son, but the closer I get to you, the more I am attracted to you. ”
Hmph, dare to lie to me with a mask! If I had known how to transfigurate earlier, I would have taken off your hateful mask!
"I heard that the Emperor of Bac Ninh is going to give you to me, not to mention how happy I am, in the palace, I can't sleep happily every night. If it weren't for the fact that I was still playing the role of a world boy who had nothing to do, I would have prepared for this wedding with great fanfare. You don't know how cute it looked when you found out that I was the unequaled son, and from then on, I knew that I didn't have no weight in your heart. ”
Feelings, my anger at that time, in your opinion, is just cute! In that case, you shouldn't be merciful at that time, and you will be done directly!
