"Mother, I haven't thought about marriage yet. "Purple Shadow is well aware of her mother's hard work.

When Purple Shadow was thirteen years old, she got lost on a snowy mountain and rescued Fire Dance, who was lying in the snow and was dying. Her clothes were thin and her face was delicate, and he was moved. However, when he discovers that Fire Dance is a monster with no emotion and a heartbeat, his warm heart gradually cools down. Over the years, he slowly got used to the existence of Fire Dance, or slaves, or shadow guards, or a glimmer of hope for feelings.

It's just that in the past ten years, he has been extremely lonely.

"What's your name?" Zi Youlan looked at Zhixue with a kind smile on her face.

Zhixue looked up and saw that the noble lady looked at her with a gentle face, and she quickly knelt down to answer. "The subordinate's name is Zhixue. ”

"Yes, get up!" The person Purple Shadow brought to his yard must be someone he trusted. This girl has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is well-behaved and knowledgeable, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. To say that she used to want to find a well-connected boudoir lady for Ziying, now she just wants Ziying to like a normal woman. "Take good care of your master, a personal girl, you should be so docile and lovely!"

"Yes!" replied Oriyuki.

Seeing that her mother seemed to like Weaving Snow very much, Ziying smiled meaninglessly, "Hmm!"

"If you have had enough, take care of it, your eldest brother is hard, you have to be more considerate of him and assist him more. He is the young master of the purple clan, and you can be relieved to protect him wholeheartedly and be a mother with one heart. Zi Youlan said earnestly.

"Okay, you guys go back!" Zi Youlan smiled lightly and walked into the Buddha hall, kneeling in front of the statue and reciting the scriptures. Purple Shadow took a deep look at her mother and slowly exited the hall. Although my mother loves herself, this love is not half of my eldest brother's after all. A wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Zhixue followed Ziying out of the main hall and walked through several corridors. In the gazebo in the garden, Zisheng was sitting alone drinking, and when he saw Ziying come out, he waved at him and motioned for him to come over.

"Big brother!" Purple Shadow sat down.

Zi Sheng's face was obviously much more solemn than just now, and seeing him looking at Zhi Xue with suspicious eyes, Zi Ying said, "You go to the outside of the hall to guard!" Zhi Xue nodded and exited the pavilion.

"I don't think I've seen this girl before, I heard that you spoiled a girl when you went out to play this time," Zi Sheng glanced at Zhixue, "It must be her?"

"When did Big Brother become interested in these gossips?" Zi Ying snatched the wine glass from Zi Sheng's hand, "Drink less, don't choke on children when you are full of alcohol." ”

Zi Sheng nodded again and again, and then he got to the point, "Have you discovered anything on this trip?"

"My trip set out from the imperial capital, passed through the Mo and Lan tribes, and did hear some rumors. Ziying lowered her voice, "Three days before my father's disappearance, I asked the Yun Zhongxian of the Mo clan to calculate a hexagram, I don't know what the hexagram is, but the Yun Zhongxian who loves money as much as his life does not charge a penny of hexagram gold. ”

Zi Sheng sighed, "The fortune teller knows the destiny of heaven." There is a rule of three don't collect, those who don't accept the catastrophe don't collect, those who don't have good luck don't collect, and those who are about to end their longevity don't collect, it seems that my father really encountered an accident this time. ...... Have you ever visited the Immortal in the Clouds?"

Ziying nodded, "I've been waiting in front of the stall for seven days, but I haven't seen anyone. I don't know if they deliberately avoided me, but I've arranged for the shadow guards to stay there, and I'll report back as soon as I get news. ”

"Any other news?" Zisheng asked.

Purple Shadow thought about it, hesitated for a moment and then spoke. "Someone has seen a man who looks very much like his father, and on the 10th day of the sixth month, he secretly took a small boat near the deep lake and sailed in the direction of the dragon stream. The sources are not very reliable, but they are not unfounded, and I don't know whether to believe them or not. ”

Zi Sheng was a little stunned, "Slaying the Dragon Stream is in the lower reaches of the Peach Blossom River, what is my father doing with a weak scholar going to the Slaying Dragon Stream......?"

"What's wrong?" Purple Shadow looked at her eldest brother suspiciously.

"My mother has a lung disease, and she has a cold attack. This autumn day is gradually turning cold, my father should not be looking for medicinal herbs, right?" Zi Sheng said slowly, "It is said that there is a place called crossing the river at the end of the Peach Blossom River, where a kind of sacred grass grows, which can cure all diseases, cure all kinds of poisons, and bring the dead back to life. How can there be such a thing in the world, didn't my father listen to this rumor and go to find medicine alone?"

"Why didn't my father tell you and me, what is the place of the Peach Blossom River below the Dragon Stream, the peaks and mountains are vicious, the anger gathers, and the place of great evil. Not a word or letter, and secretly sailing away alone?"

"If this information is reliable, it must be more than you and I think. This time, my father was summoned to the palace by Emperor Yan late at night, and as soon as Emperor Yan left the palace, he retreated and cultivated, and his father disappeared. How could it be such a coincidence?" Zi Sheng was a little annoyed, "Before leaving, my father instructed me not to alarm anyone, and even my mother thought that my father was just going away. This can't be checked on the surface, but there is nowhere to check it secretly, I'm really worried about what will happen if my mother finds out that my father is missing!"

"Who's there?" Oriyuki, who was standing aside, suddenly exclaimed. The basic skill of the shadow guard is that her senses are sensitive, and she must be able to close her eyes and recognize the wind and grass, which she has learned four or five percent. I saw that there were figures hiding behind the rockery not far away, and there was a slight fragrance of soaphorn in the wind. Zhixue took the short sword and rushed to the back of the rockery, dragging out a terrified maidservant. "What the hell are you doing there?"

The two men in the pavilion heard the movement and were silent.

"The young master spares his life, the second son spares his life!" Seeing that the two young masters were not good-looking, the maidservant who had collapsed on the ground turned over and knelt on the ground, tears fell in tears, crying and begging for mercy.

Zi Sheng got up and said, "This is Qiu Ju, the maidservant girl in Ah Yu's room, what are you doing there?"

Qiu Ju said tremblingly, "Young master, the eldest lady just had unbearable abdominal pain and almost fainted, and the slave maid came to look for you." But seeing that you and the second son were discussing, I didn't dare to disturb...... You'd better hurry over and see the eldest lady! I'm afraid it's a big deal if the pain continues to hurt!"

"What's the matter, have you asked for a doctor?" Zi Sheng immediately panicked, his expression was so nervous that he didn't have time to say anything else, turned around and strode away.

"Dongmei has invited Dr. Jin and is treating the eldest lady. Xia He went to invite the old lady, and the little young master had a gentleman to take care of him in the private school...... "Qiu Ju couldn't keep up with Zisheng's pace, so she could only trot all the way to follow."

Ziying looked at Zhi Xue's eyes staring at her, and then at the place where the maid was hiding, and raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.

"Childe, let's go along and take a look! I'm afraid this matter is not simple!"

"Hmm!" Purple Shadow snorted softly and led Weaving Snow to follow.
