Chapter 259: Something Different
A dreamless night.
As soon as Shen Lingxi woke up, he saw the side face of Chu Yan sleeping peacefully.
This trip to Yunjiang was full of dangers, and Shen Lingxi did not bring a maid with him.
There are many people in the Yunjiang Palace, and she didn't stack a high brocade quilt on the bed of the two like she did when she was in the East Palace before.
Fortunately, Xu is a habit that has been cultivated in the past few days, and Shen Lingxi is glad that he is not in his sleep and leans towards the edge of the bed again.
The early morning sunlight shines through the window lattice, sprinkled on the light blue curtain, and casts a layer of jade-like light on Chu Yan's angular face.
It makes people feel like "the beauty is on the side, and the years are quiet" for no reason.
He breathed long breaths and was clearly asleep.
I don't know if it's Shen Lingxi's illusion, the pale cyan color under his eyelids seems to have faded a little bit overnight these days.
"Knock, knock ......"
Suddenly, there was a very soft knock at the door.
Shen Lingxi saw Chu Yan's eyelids moving slightly, which was a sign that she was about to wake up, she subconsciously closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and pretended to be still asleep.
There was a rustling sound of hair touching the brocade silk beside the pillow, and Shen Lingxi felt a gentle gaze fall on his face.
Just between breaths, the man's slightly calloused slightly cool fingertips gently pinned the broken hair that was wrapped around the side of her face behind her ears.
In the silence, that gaze, for some reason, suddenly took on a hint of urgency.
Shen Lingxi was a little nervous unconsciously, clenched his fingers, and his heart was pounding.
"Knock, knock ......"
At this moment, there was another very soft knock on the door.
Chu Yan sighed invisibly, sat up, lifted the quilt, and walked out of the bed tent.
Shen Lingxi opened his eyes and watched him put on his robe and walk out of the room through the light blue curtain, and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
But the rapid heartbeat seemed to have an aftertaste, and it never subsided for a long time.
Liu Meiren floated in from outside the bed tent, and saw Shen Lingxi's cheeks crimson, and joked with a smile: "I'll just say, the feng shui of your East Palace is not good, look at it, it's only been out for a few days, and it's like glue again." ”
Shen Lingxi: ......
"Early in the morning, you came alone, but you have something to do with me?" She hurriedly changed the topic, for fear that Liu Meiren would say something tiger and wolf again.
Liu Meiren asked with a rare face: "Your medicine palace, how can there be a codex of our former emperor and queen's uncle, is it that after the fall of the previous dynasty, the poisonous queen did not die, but actually ran to your cloud country?" ”
There were a few doubts in Shen Lingxi's eyes.
The last emperor and queen of the previous dynasty, named Taishu Mei.
Shen Lingxi has heard of this person's "great achievements" from Liu Mei's mouth.
The Soul Lock Well Underground Palace was built by this person back then.
And Liu Meiren, because of her order, became the martyred Chaotian girl.
Liu Meiren saw the blankness in her eyes, and urged: "You wash up and eat first, and I'll take you somewhere." ”
Shen Lingxi knew that since she said this, she must have made a special discovery, so she nodded and changed her clothes.

Yun Yu knew Shen Lingxi's preferences, so he prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Shen Lingxi didn't see Chu Yan's figure, and when he asked, he realized that he had gone to the school with Xiao Rui early in the morning to order soldiers.
Yun Yu, the king of Yunjiang who was not treated by the major families in Yunjiang, did not accompany him.
Shen Lingxi saw that he was having breakfast with him with a relaxed expression, and said with a few breaths: "I heard the maid say yesterday that the current head of the Ji family is Cousin Zhuo, have you ever contacted him?" If he can step in and help you, you don't have to be so passive. I can write to him if you need it......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yun Wei with a smile, "Sister, you don't have to worry about me. ”
He lit his lacquer-like eyes and looked at Shen Lingxi seriously: "If I have the ability to sit in this seat, whether it is the Ji family or several other families, I will take the initiative to join forces with me." On the contrary, if I don't have the ability, I will look for them, and with the current situation in Yunjiang, they may not come forward to help. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "What's more, six years ago, the Ji family chose Mingzhe to protect his life...... Now that my sister has returned, I don't have to take them to heart. ”
"I have my own way of coping with the situation. Sister must have other important things to do, so don't worry about me. As I said, if I want to be my sister's backing, I will definitely do it. Yun Yu said with a smile.
Shen Lingxi knew his temperament, he had been very stubborn since he was a child, nodded and said no more.
After all, she is in Yunjiang now, and there is no big fork in the road.
The place where Liu Meiren wanted to take Shen Lingxi was the Medicine Palace not far from the Lingxi Palace.
Shen Lingxi saw that Yun was fine, so he invited him to go with him.
On the way, she thought of what she knew about the Medicine Palace before, and asked directly: "I heard that before the palace returned to the court five years ago, he ordered people to destroy the holy mountain, and the remnants of the Medicine Palace all died in the mountain, is this true?" ”
Yun Yu secretly looked at her expression, was silent for a few breaths, and said slowly: "That's right, there is indeed such a thing." The destruction of the holy mountain was indeed an order personally issued by His Royal Highness, and it is reported that the order of the Great Secretary was also killed at that time. ”
"I was still in prison at the time, and I didn't know the details. After coming back this time, I also heard about this and specially consulted the file of that year...... It is confirmed that it is the handwriting of His Highness, and it cannot be faked. ”
Shen Lingxi's breathing was sluggish.
Even though it had been predicted, this would be the outcome.
But when she really heard that this was the case, there was still an unspeakable sullenness in her heart.
"The Medicine Palace is of great significance to my sister." Yun Yu looked at her quietly and asked, "What is Sister going to do?" Your Highness, he ......"
"I don't know." Shen Lingxi replied truthfully, "I believe he won't give this order for no reason, and I will find out the reason." ”
"What if you can't accept his reason?" Yun Yu asked curiously.
This time, Shen Lingxi didn't speak again.
Despite this, Yun Yu looked at her side face, but she could also read it, and she had no choice to speak.
Even now, she has changed her body, but in her bones, she is still the Yun Xi who loves and hates clearly, and never drags her feet in doing things.
Those people in the Medicine Palace, after all, she bought them with a life.
If Chu Yan ordered the destruction of the Holy Mountain, she would not be able to accept it.
Then the two of them, I am afraid that they can only become short-term in this life - "contract couple".
Yun Yu's eyes drooped slightly.
It seems that his actions in Yunjiang should also be accelerated.
He knew Chu Yan's heart for her.
I also know how ruthless Chu Yan's methods are under Chu Yan's seemingly indifferent appearance.
In any case, he must not allow the events of six years ago to happen again.

Shen Lingxi followed Liu Meiren and walked into the medicine palace that had been absent for a long time.
Compared with the clean and tidy Lingxi Palace, the Medicine Palace has been left unattended for a long time, and it has been dilapidated.
Mottled cobwebs everywhere.
The furniture and medicine stove in the hall are still vaguely the same as when Emperor Yan brought people in.
Liu Meiren took Shen Lingxi, turned left and right, and stopped in front of a multi-treasure pavilion in the side hall.
She pointed to the wall behind the Treasure Pavilion.
"Well, it's in this secret room. However, I can get in through the walls, do you know where the mechanism of the chamber is? She asked curiously.
I've been waiting for a long time.,The next two chapters are released in succession.,It's still being repaired.,It's going to be later.,Let's come and see it tomorrow morning.
