Chapter 36 Answer or Not

Zhao Ran has been waiting for Cheng An's reply, whether the so-called "Song Female Cultivator" is Song Yuqiao or not, as time passes, he becomes more and more anxious, sometimes closing his eyes, there are always various pictures of Song Yuqiao being tortured in the Red Lotus Hall, and even being executed by the Red Lotus Hall at random in a corner at a certain time. If this was the case, he didn't dare to imagine what the other party would feel when he saw Zhou Yumo in the future, let alone how to comfort Song Zhiyuan.

But in fact, he didn't think about it himself, or subconsciously didn't dare to think about it, if this "Song Female Cultivator" was not Song Yuqiao, but someone else, would he still come to the rescue, because this question is a very test of human nature.

Of course, speaking of which, the most critical issue at this moment is to finalize the true identity of the "Song Female Cultivator". Only when the identity is confirmed, can you use your means.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, after staying in Xingqing Mansion for many days, and bidding for a lot of cattle and sheep in Jinbo Auction House, Niu Shaoyi of Yanfu Palace Xiaohuangmen came to the door again.

"Daochang Zhao, tomorrow morning the Queen Mother has time, I want to invite the Taoist to enter the palace and write a few words for the Queen Mother, I don't know if it is possible?"

"Of course you can, then the poor road will enter the palace tomorrow to see the Queen Mother, is it Grandpa Niu?"

"It is the slave maid, the slave maid will greet the Taoist at the Chenhui Gate of the palace at three o'clock tomorrow. ”

After making an appointment, Xiao Huangmen Niu Shaoyi left, and Zhao Ran was even more anxious. After seeing the Queen Mother, he had no reason to delay in Xingqing, according to the rules, after the Majesty saw him tomorrow morning, he would leave in the afternoon, or at most delay it by one day. In this case, how can the "Song Female Cultivator" be rescued? What's more, there is no definite news until now.

Zhao Ran had no choice for the time being, so he had to ask Yicheng to inform the Jinbo Club, saying that he would be summoned by the Queen Mother tomorrow and would not be able to participate in the auction. As for whether Cheng An can find out the exact news before he arrives, then he can only resign himself to fate.

Chenhui Gate is the northwest gate of the Xixia Palace, which is the closest to Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ran has been here before, but he entered from here back then, and entered the Cuihe Palace where the lord of Rou'an lived.

Now the lord of Rou'an has married Gao Yanei, but he has not moved out, and still lives in the Cuihe Palace, it is said that the Empress Dowager Gao is reluctant to her favorite niece, so she is allowed to still live in the palace, and Gao Yanei enters the palace three times every ten years. With such an arrangement, of course, the coolest thing is Gao Yanei, who is outside the Chenhui Gate at the moment, waiting for Zhao Ran with the little yellow door Niu Gonggong.

Enter from the Chenhui Gate, pass through the Miyagi Road, to the north is the Cuihe Palace, to the south and then to the east is the Yanfu Palace.

Niu Shaoyi was leading the way, Gao Ya was accompanying him, and he came to the west gate of Yanfu Palace in a short time, where a group of eunuchs were waiting for him.

Niu Shaoyi simply made a recommendation, and Zhao Ran had no intention of remembering this father-in-law and that father-in-law, the only one who left an impression was the chief eunuch of Yanfu Palace, this person's surname was Liu, and he looked too old to look good.

There is a main hall and a side hall in Yanfu Palace, and the main hall is Yanfu Palace, and the side hall is called Ruizhu Palace.

Walking to the steps of His Royal Highness Yanfu, Chief Manager Liu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "The Queen Mother summoned Daoist Zhao, and the rest of the people are waiting outside." ”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, and he didn't worry about Zhao Ran going in alone, so he said, "I'm the deputy envoy, why can't I enter?"

Mr. Liu said weakly: "The Queen Mother is not a messenger, the Ming envoy has his own lord to meet in the court, and the Queen Mother only sees guests in the mountains." ”

Zhang Juzheng wanted to work harder, but was pulled by Zhao Ran: "Uncle, don't worry, don't worry about the poor road." ”

In this way, Zhang Juzheng, Mingjue and Xingzhen were all stopped at the bottom of the stairs and accompanied by Gao Yanei, while Zhao Ran went up the stairs under the leadership of Manager Liu and Niu Shaoyi.

Yanfu Hall is very large, not smaller than Zhao Ran some time ago when His Majesty saw the lord Li Qianshun went to the Daqing Palace, it is said that before Li Qianshun was in power, the Empress Dowager Gao except for the curtain in the Daqing Hall when the dynasty was in power, all met important ministers in this Yanfu Palace. It's just that today's Yanfu Hall is deserted, and the Queen Mother's chair in the middle is also empty, and there is no one.

Manager Liu said to Zhao Ran: "Daoist Zhao will wait for a moment. After speaking, he walked around to the back of the hall, Niu Shaoyi also nodded at Zhao Ran, showed a reassuring smile, and followed Mr. Liu.

Zhao Ran was puzzled, and saw a beautiful woman turn out of the palace, who was the lord of Rou'an.

After all, the county lord of Rou'an is a woman, and the two have not met except for the first time they have met at the Jinbo Club, but Zhao Ran knows that when he went a few times, Rou'an was in the private room of the tea house. Unexpectedly, the other party showed up in the Yanfu Hall at this moment, so Zhao Ran hurriedly clenched his fists: "I've seen the county lord." ”

Compared with the last time she was in the Jinbo Club, Rou'an's performance today is much calmer, and she no longer has the nervousness and shyness she had at that time, she smiled: "Today, the Queen Mother summoned the Taoist, and I rushed to meet after hearing about it. ”

"How dare you!" Zhao Ranxin said that it was strange that I believed you, so he waited for the following.

Rou An said again: "I heard that the Taoist chief is about to take up the post of Song Domain, and he said that he was going to Hongyuan to preside over the White Horse Academy, I don't know if the rumors are true or not?"

Zhao Ran said: "The general view does have this intention, but when he will take office and any position, there is no certainty, and the poor road has not yet been known." ”

Rou An said: "That's true. I also heard that the Changshimen has moved to the Song Domain, and it is in the Shujing Temple, far away from Huayun Mountain?"

Zhao Ran didn't know what she meant, and replied: "Fortunately, it's not that far, we cultivators only come and go for a day or two." ”

Rou'an seemed to be smiling, her eyes stopped on Zhao Ran's face for a moment, and said, "In this way, it's not easy to always meet Miss Zhou?"

The so-called moving story of the mountain guest and the rain ink fairy was told by Zhao Ran through the mouth of Cheng An back then, which once made the beautiful county lord in front of him sad and crying, but he didn't expect this county lord to remember it so far, and he mentioned it in person, Zhao Ran was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Rou'an said: "The Taoist is not strange, the Taoist chief wrote two good poems for Miss Zhou, and the affectionate and sincere meaning of them made me feel inexplicable, and I often thought about it and recited it, and I was very envious, but I just hated that I couldn't get to know the Taoist earlier." ”

Zhao Ran was stunned inexplicably, this Rou'an County Lord has always been gentle and skillful, how could he dare to say such things today, could it be that he had lost his eyes before?

After a hundred thoughts in his mind, Zhao Ran diverted the topic and said: "This time I moved to Songfan, Senior Sister Zhou's division is going to go with my Louguan." I think there will be more opportunities to meet than before. ”

Rou'an let out an "oh", silent for a moment, between the blinking of her eyelashes, she didn't know what she was thinking, for a long time, she exhaled like an orchid, and said softly: "May a lover eventually become a family." ”

Zhao Ran bowed his head: "Thank you for the auspicious words of the county lord." ”

Rou'an took a deep breath and brought a smile on her face again: "Dao Chief, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if the Chief can allow it?"

Zhao Ran immediately became a little nervous, looked around, there was no one in the Yanfu Palace, and he subconsciously looked at the top of the hall and the pillars, there was nothing abnormal, safe!

So I struggled with my heart - to say yes or not to agree?
