It was late at night, and the promenade, which had been cleaned during the day, was covered with snow again.

Ye Xuan walked to his courtyard with his memory, but he didn't find his residence after walking for a long time, and the Absolute Wing Palace was too big to walk for half an hour and didn't find it, just this snow-covered corridor Ye Xuan walked for a stick of incense.

"You won't get lost, will you?" While Ye Xuan was pondering, Tuoba Ran's voice suddenly came from behind, and Ye Xuan found that he had unconsciously walked outside Tuoba Ran's yard, and a big snowman was placed at the door grinning and smiling with Tuoba Ran.

"I can't sleep, can you sit with me for a while?"

"Good. Ye Xuan thought of what happened during the day and nodded.

Inside the gazebo.

Tuoba Ran handed the warm wine to Ye Xuan, and his fingers inadvertently touched his fingertips through a layer of bandage, feeling a hint of coolness.

"Is it because of the day's events?" Ye Xuan drank it all and exhaled a strong smell of wine.

"Not exactly. Tuoba Ran curled up beside the table and drank a glass, but his cheeks soon turned red when he couldn't drink.

"If I had been a few months ago, I might have been scared to death, but not now. ”

"Why?"

"I have strength. ”

"The master asked me to be optimistic about you at the Qingyun banquet and not let you make trouble. ”

"Poof......

As soon as Ye Xuan's words came out, Tuoba Ran smiled: "Use you to press me, I really don't know if he is afraid that something will happen to you, or if he is afraid that something will happen to me." ”

"Isn't it just a feast? Why do you feel so serious?"

"This is no ordinary feast. Tuoba Ran looked at Ye Xuan's puzzled expression, his emerald eyes suddenly flashed, and a strange thought came to his mind with the strength of the wine: "I'm a little cold, can you give me that cotton blanket?"

"Oh. The boy didn't think much about picking up the cotton blanket and got up to cover Tuoba Ran's petite body, but before he could get up, Tuoba Ran suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and with a gentle tug, Ye Xuan was pulled to Tuoba Ran's side.

The cotton blanket was halfway opened and wrapped Ye Xuan in it.

"Don't move, let me lean for a while. Tuoba Ran leaned on Ye Xuan like a scoundrel, and a burst of cyan vitality blew through and hung down all the curtains on the pavilion, blocking the situation inside.

"You...... You're drunk. Ye Xuan's body stiffened, and the roots of his ears turned red instantly, but when he wanted to get up, he was grabbed tightly by Tuoba Ran, and he couldn't pull it out at all.

"Do you hate me?" Tuoba Ran turned his head and looked at Ye Xuan's eyes with eyelaces seriously, so close that he could already feel Ye Xuan's disordered snort.

"No..... Don't hate ...... But ......."

"You can do this when you were in the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm, why can't you do it now. Tuoba Ran leaned on Ye Xuan's shoulder as a scoundrel: "There is no one else here." ”

Tuoba Ran said in a low voice, his face was buried in Ye Xuan's arms, and his face was also red, but his hand was still holding Ye Xuan's sleeve and not letting go.

"That's not what it meant...... The key is......" Ye Xuan seemed to have a knot in his tongue and couldn't speak, feeling the heartbeat of the beautiful girl in his arms. When he was in the valley of the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm, Tuoba Ran ran directly over and got into his arms, but Ye Xuan didn't know that she was a woman or a princess at that time.

If he knew that Ye Xuan would not let her do that, even if she was not a princess, she would not be formed.

Otherwise, Tian Yueyu would not have scolded him for wood.

"Just a while. Tuoba Ran got closer and closer, curling up in Ye Xuan's arms like a cat. Ye Xuan had never experienced this kind of thing and suddenly fell, neither did he move, nor did he move, he sat stiffly in his seat and did not dare to come out.

"Let me tell you about the Qingyun Banquet. Tuoba Ran attached to Ye Xuan's shoulder and pinched his reddened earlobe mischievously, seeing that Ye Xuan didn't resist much, he became more and more bold.

"The Qingyun Banquet was created by the old emperor, and as long as it is the son of an official eunuch, it can participate. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qingyuntai was set up in Qingyun Palace to compete with force. Qingyuntai has a total of seven floors, and the top floor can only accommodate seven people, and the first of the seven people will get the opportunity to enter the six ministries to serve and study, and the remaining six can be rewarded by the emperor. ”

"And I'm going to enter the Criminal Department. ”

"You want to be the number one?" Ye Xuan was shocked when he heard this, the masters in the Holy Capital were like clouds, could Tuoba Ran just come back from the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm?

"That's right. Tuoba Ran smiled lightly, and poked Ye Xuan's face with his fingers.

"But why do you want to enter the Criminal Department, if I had to choose, I might enter the Ministry of Households, and I have a lot of money. Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed Tuoba Ran's restless little hand: "If you move again, I'll leave." ”

"But I'm drunk. Tuoba Ran grabbed Ye Xuan's palm recklessly, as if he had grabbed a cold piece of iron, which had no temperature at all, and held it tighter.

"Have you heard of Queen Lan?" Tuoba Ran grabbed very close, no matter how hard Ye Xuan tried, he didn't let go, this is a drunk person?

"I've heard about it from Mr. Storyteller. Ye Xuan gave up struggling, and he couldn't break free from Tuoba Ran's strength. After coming out of the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm, Ye Xuan could no longer feel Tuoba Ran's strength, and she had never used her strength in front of her.

"What are you talking about?" Takoba Ran was intrigued.

"Calling him the mother of saving the country, there seems to be another sentence to judge her like this: the outside can retreat the iron hooves of the sand ray, and the inside can be the imperial city of Chiyo. A very powerful person. In order to remember such a sentence, Ye Xuan used up all the words in his head.

"Is that how outsiders judge her?"

"Yes, there are many more stories about her, but I've heard a little. ”

After hearing this, Tuoba Ran's eyes suddenly sparkled: "She...... It's my mother. ”

"Huh?" Ye Xuan opened his mouth wide in shock, Queen Lan is Tuoba Ran's mother?

"She died when I was six years old, and she said she contracted a terrible illness and died a terrible death. Tuoba Ran smiled lightly and turned his head away: "However, the old man of the emperor didn't even attend the funeral, and he didn't tell me how the queen mother died. In the spring of the second year, another queen was established. ”

"So you...... Don't you like Emperor Yunze so much?"

"Hmm. Tuoba Ran nodded: "The Imperial Physician later came to the conclusion that it was because the birth of the Son of the Wind consumed too much of my mother's blood and qi power that caused me to lose my life, so I also wanted to escape from the palace and never see the old man again." ”

"But I don't believe that statement, before my mother died, Concubine Wan had been staying in Garland Palace, saying that she was also infected with a serious disease, and the cause was strange and there was no cure. At that time, not many servants in the Garan Palace survived, and those who survived quickly disappeared into the palace. ”

"So you suspect that Wan Guifei killed your mother?"

"After all, only Wan Guifei survived alone, and that evil disease affected the entire Garan Palace, more than 100 people died in one morning, and a total of more than 300 died until the end, but only Wan Guifei, who had no cultivation, survived. ”

"Emperor Yunze can't save people even if he has the Wind Spirit Bead?" Ye Xuan was very puzzled, what kind of disease was so terrifying and violent to this extent.

"That's not the ability that the Wind Spirit Bead has, the Wood Spirit Bead can. Tuoba Ran retreated to her original position and curled up beside Ye Xuan, her long hair falling down to block her face.

The illness lasted for a month, and the old emperor wanted to go in, but the ministers wrote to him and advised him not to go, for fear that he would also be infected. In the end, only Wan Guifei and a few servants ran out, and returned to normal after being ill for half a year. ”

After listening to this, Ye Xuan felt that the problem was not particularly obvious, Concubine Wan had also been ill for so long, it was difficult to say that there was indeed a vicious infection at that time. The only thing that can be done is that Concubine Wan has no cultivation, and Queen Lan's cultivation has broken through to the third reincarnation, so it is really puzzling to die like this.

"That'...... And then?"

"Nothing later, after my mother died, the disease disappeared in the palace and never appeared again. Immediately afterwards, there were rumors that her mother was a demon girl, and she would be fine as soon as she died, and few people were afraid of getting sick on the day of the funeral. ”

"I have also become the daughter of a demon girl, and naturally I am not treated well, I am afraid that I will be like her one day. Only the national teacher took me in, taught me to practice, and taught me to read. I have always lived in this Absolute Wing Palace, and I have never left again. ”

Tuoba Ran's words made Ye Xuan's heart set off a thousand waves, is there such a thing in the palace? A six-year-old princess is full of suspicion and exclusion, and it is really difficult to stumble here without the support of her relatives. Besides, Tuoba Ran's temperament is still so stubborn, and there is definitely a lot of hardship to endure.

"So you entered the Criminal Department to find out the real cause of your mother's death?"

"Yes, when I grew up, I felt that things were getting more and more wrong, so I wanted to enter the criminal department. I still have some cases in my hands that are related to Wanjia, but I didn't say anything. Takubaran's voice grew quieter and quieter, and his face began to turn red.

That glass of wine just now wasn't much, but she had a limited amount of wine.

"Then I'll help you, two people are better than one. Ye Xuan looked at her seriously without the slightest hesitation: "I am still your close attendant and junior brother, it is my duty." ”

Tuoba Ran raised his head and looked at Ye Xuan in a daze, his emerald eyes were shining.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It's going to be ...... Dangerous ......"

"It's a lot better than carrying someone on their backs and racing against a wolf. Ye Xuan suddenly said something that made Tuoba Ran laugh, and it might be fate to survive that kind of danger.

"The snowman still lacks a nose, so you can help me get a carrot in the house. Taka pointed to the smiling snowman on the snow, who was missing a nose.

"Good. Ye Xuan got up and went into the house, but when he came out, he found that Tuoba Ran was already asleep, and the cotton blanket was sleeping like a spring roll.

"I can't drink it, I still drink it. Ye Xuan reluctantly picked up Tuoba Ran, which was rolled into a spring roll, and resisted it into the house, and when he put it on the bed, he was as heavy as a dead pig.

"Ye Xuan......" Tuoba Ran muttered, not knowing whether he was asleep or not. The pink lips were slightly open, and the red face was full of seductive color, which reminded Ye Xuan of the kiss when he was in the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm, the kiss with the smell of blood.

When facing death, Tuoba Ran kissed Ye Xuan's lips, what kind of emotion was that?

Ye Xuan couldn't understand his thoughts for a while, and clenched the hand he wanted to stretch out. The glimmer of elusive joy made him a little confused, and he was glad that he could find warmth in the cruelty of this world, and at the same time he had to face the ferocity of reality.

"Qingyun Banquet ......"

Ye Xuan silently recited these three words, and the battle intent in his heart was already rising.

In the middle of the night, Ye Xuan turned back to his residence, but did not go back, but went to Qingyu's room.

"Sister herring. ”

"Don't you sleep so late?" Qingyu looked at Ye Xuan standing on the snow with concern in cotton clothes: "Is there anything wrong?"

"I'd like to ask you some questions......"

......
