Chapter 25: Gossip

The carriage went all the way north along Suzaku Street, and Lan Yin opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the majestic palace on Longshou Plain - Daming Palace.

The April sun shines on the yellow wattle of Daming Palace, shining with a thin layer of golden pink, giving the world's largest palace a certain holy light, making people willing to crawl at its feet.

"Don't be afraid, soon, I will be able to come and see you."

Cui Yuanzao followed Lan Yin's gaze at the towering palace complex, he knew that no matter how strong the sun was, sometimes it couldn't shine into the most noble place in the world.

"Do you mean to go into the palace to investigate the fox demon case?" Lan Yin came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Cui Yuanzao.

The day before yesterday, Li Shaoqing urgently summoned Cui Yuanzao for the fox demon case.

I don't know why recently, there have been some rumors in Chang'an City, saying that the fox demon is actually the Taoist priest Zhao Guizhen next to the saint, who specially robbed the hearts of fifteen-year-old girls and used them for alchemy, so that the saint can prolong his life.

The rumors spread so much that they actually reached the Daming Palace and reached the ears of the saint, who was furious and ordered Dali Temple to solve the case within a time limit, and Li Shaoqing hurriedly recalled Cui Yuanzao's.

"The rumors are demagogic and unfavorable to the government, so we must really solve the case as soon as possible." Cui Yuanzao was worried that if the rumors were allowed to develop, it would shake the foundation of the sage's governance of the government.

"You said that the girls I saved last time were the girls who were robbed by the fox demon in the legend? If I hadn't just let them go and let them clear up the rumors, would it have been fine? ”

Now that I think about it, it is really strange that those soldiers of Zhaoyi Town kidnapped the girl and did nothing.

Cui Yuanzao shook his head and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, the rumors only need one mouth, but it is extremely difficult to clarify the rumors, and only by killing the source can the rumors be stopped." ”

"You say, is this fox demon related to Zhaoyi Town? Is the person in the palace who contacted Zhaoyi Town the Taoist priest Zhao Guizhen? Lan Yin asked after contacting the cause and effect.

Cui Yuanzao shook his head, looked at the splendid palace, and muttered, "Who knows, you have to go to the palace to see it." ”

"Okay, I'll help you." Lan Yin nodded solemnly.

Cui Yuanzao smiled, thinking that Lan Yin was very cute, and couldn't help but quip: "It's all up to Liu Si to remember." ”

Lan Yin didn't know why, she couldn't control it, her face was red, and she could only turn her head and look out of the car.

"Hey, where are we going?"

Lan Yin found that they had left Suzaku Street and turned onto the side street.

"The Danfeng Gate is generally only opened during major ceremonies or court meetings, when officials enter and exit, so we go around and enter through the Xuanwu Gate at the back." Cui Yuanzao explained.

Lan Yin nodded ignorantly.

It's fake to say that she is not worried, Lan Yin has high swordsmanship and is also clever, but for a place like Daming Palace, she is still too simple.

"Aunt Rou prepared a bag of gold leaves for you, there are many ghosts in the palace, you were recruited by the Empress Dowager Guo, they don't dare to do anything to you on the surface, but they will not stumble on you secretly, use more money to make a point, it's always right, don't be reluctant." Cui Yuanzao earnestly instructed.

Lan Yin's eyes suddenly became a little hot, why did she think Cui Yuanzao was a bit like her?

"Got it." Lan Yin lowered her head and muttered.

————

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the Xuanwu Gate, where the little eunuch was already waiting.

Cui Yuanzao wanted to help Lan Yin get out of the carriage, but Lan Yin didn't look at him, jumped out of the carriage by himself, and said with a smile: "Don't send it, I'll go in." ”

Cui Yuanzao felt sour in his heart, and wanted to say something more, but he didn't seem to have anything to say, so he nodded.

The towering and deep palace gate, wearing the ochre round-necked robe of the female official in the palace, and Lan Yin, who was wearing a black veil on her head, disappeared in the deep corridor little by little, Cui Yuanzao felt frightened, and couldn't help but call: "Lan Yin." ”

Lan Yin turned her head, and the darkness of the city gate made her face more and more pale, "What's the matter?" ”

Cui Yuanzao found that he didn't have anything to say, so he only waved his hand.

"Cui Langjun doesn't have to be reluctant, Yang Niangzi is here to make a big difference." The little eunuch saw that they were so reluctant, and comforted them.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law taking care of her." Cui Yuanzao quietly stuffed a gold leaf into the hands of his little father-in-law.

No one can underestimate these little people, since Dezong established the Shence Army, eunuchs can be seen in several changes of the throne.

And the change of manna in the Wenzong period made the shadow of the eunuchs deeply shrouded the hearts of the courtiers.

Cui Yuanzao didn't dare to underestimate them, and bowed to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch was naturally happy, and said sweetly: "Cui Langjun, rest assured, Yang Niangzi entered the palace to enjoy happiness." Our Datang Dynasty is the most respectful of female officials, and it is said that Shangguan Wan'er during the period of Empress Wu is the later Song lady, which one is not famous through the ages? Yang Niangzi can get a special call from the Queen Mother, and she is also a talented woman, and she will definitely be able to make a difference. ”

The little eunuch had never received so much bounty before, and he was excited for a while, and he chattered a lot, Cui Yuanzao just smiled and thought to himself, but which of these female officials has a good end? Fortunately, Lan Yin didn't go to fight for the future, he should have thought of a way out for her early.

Lan Yin also saw the small movements between Cui Yuanzao and the little eunuch, and while complaining in her heart about his waste, a wave of sweetness poured out uncontrollably like buds that quietly broke the ground.

Although Lan Yin was sluggish, she didn't feel it, she felt that since she escaped from the soldiers of Zhaoyi Town, Cui Yuanzao was different, he never murdered her again, and he spoke very gently.

Did he have some conspiracy? Or do you want her to help him?

But can he not be like this, he was already bewitching, and now he is so gentle, that she dreamed last night.

In the dream, Cui Yuanzao turned into a spider weaving webs, the spider silk was thin, dense, and sticky, and she became a small insect, trapped in the spider web, no matter how much she tossed it, she couldn't pounce. In the middle of the night, Lan Yin woke up.

Riding in the same carriage with Cui Yuanzao today, she felt a little awkward, so she wanted to stay away from him early, but he was still entangled.

Thinking of this, Lan Yin blushed and said, "Okay, you go back, Xiu Muri, I will leave the palace." ”

She really didn't want to be laughed at by the little eunuchs and these Xuanwu Sect Jin Wuwei anymore.

Lan Yin carried the burden on her back, urged the little eunuch to walk quickly, walked a few steps, and stepped into the Xuanwu Gate, but she slowed down again and couldn't help but look back.

Cui Yuanzao was still standing there, the April sun hit his face, unusually pale, but his posture was chic, like an upright green bamboo, in the cold and alienated, and a little gentle, which made people feel intoxicated.

Lan Yin scolded herself in her heart, "color embryo", what do you think?
