Zhao Qingyan's face showed a mixture of fear and disgust, but he paused and continued: "There are hundreds of insects crawling out of the cave, and they will get into it when they touch the skin, and many people will break their wrists immediately, but the blood qi will attract more insects. Tang Xiaoyu never showed up, and the puppet palace that let out the wind to attract coveters naturally became the object of resentment of these people. The elders of the puppet palace explained that they were also shocked by this matter, they had no intention of making enemies with the rivers and lakes, it was just a mistake. Anyone who is willing to believe in them and watch from the sidelines will never be an enemy of their puppet palace. But where could the people who were in great pain when the Gu worms entered their bodies listen to their explanations? More than half of the people chose to fight with the puppet palace, and only a small number of people left. ”

Ran Xingchen asked, "And then?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head: "I don't know what will happen there. After the incident, all the participants were tight-lipped and no one was willing to mention the incident. Although the situation is calm on the surface, there are many forces in the secret who have taken revenge on the puppet palace, and each has suffered casualties. Finally, two years later, the puppet palace sent a message to fight on the West Lake. The result of my father's discussion with Qingfeng was to ask ten Ouchi guards and Qingfeng to take me to the West Lake with them. In my condition, if I don't have a suitable solution, I will definitely die within two years. My father thought that the puppet palace should not be killed indiscriminately, and if he did, it would not be too dangerous for me to have ten guards to protect him. It's just that I didn't expect that the people in the puppet palace directly released the poisonous smoke that cried blood into tears, which was colorless and tasteless, and all the people who went were poisoned. Except for the dozen or so people who were heavily dressed and changed, no one escaped to death. More than a dozen people, and those who have a feud with the puppet palace know it at first sight. The three of us had nothing to do with this matter, and the puppet palace did not attack us, but gave us some methods and suggestions to alleviate Zhu Yanchang. ”

Ran Xingchen asked, "What about my father that the head of Hua just mentioned, what happened to my father, what happened two years ago?" Being able to listen to Zhao Qingyan finish such a long paragraph before asking questions also shows his self-cultivation.

Zhao Qingyan had a painful look in his eyes, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Zhuo Yi sighed: "I'll tell you." Zhu Yan's change is violently toxic, not everyone is as capable as Mo'er to try, and many more people may not even be able to match the minimum medicine. Twelve years have passed, and the people who are still alive have some connections with each other, and they also have some familiarity with the puppet palace. Like Tong Xuan, they just went to the puppet palace to get some medicine that was not easy to obtain. Two years ago, he went in and never came out. ”

Ran Xingchen asked, "What about what Hua Boping said about an ugly death?" His mood began to fluctuate significantly, and he even called him by his name without regard for etiquette.

"That's his. Zhao Qingyan said lightly, his face was as usual, "Qingfeng can take medicine from the puppet palace because the matter of West Lake has an intersection with the puppet palace, and not everyone can enter it." I had difficulty moving, so I stayed outside and waited for Qingfeng and Jiang Wuyan, but only Jiang Wuyan came out by himself, and he refused to answer no matter how I asked. In the past two years, I have also checked through many channels, but I have found nothing. ”

Zhuo Yi looked at his apprentice, saw the look he handed to him, nodded, and did not speak.

Ran Xingchen clenched his hands into fists, biting his lip stubbornly, and only after a long time did he ask in a dumb voice, "Can I ask you another question?"

Zhao Qingyan nodded and said, "Excuse me." ”

Ran Xingchen struggled for a long time, but still asked: "Dad, has he always been as miserable as you before?" He knew that his words were inappropriate, but he was not in the mood to deliberately change them, he just stared at Zhao Qingyan, eager to get a good or bad answer. It was a question he shouldn't have asked, but there was no way he couldn't help it.

Zhao Qingyan was stunned, didn't mind, and shook his head lightly: "No, he is different from me." ”

Ran Xingchen barely kept his calm, but his trembling hands betrayed the pain in his heart: "I know it's too ugly for me to say this, but I still hope you can answer me." As far as I know, it's not just that you can't walk on your legs, your body should be very fragile, right? You can't suffer from the cold, you can't exercise vigorously, you can't leave your mouth, you have nightmares every night, you cough up blood, you vomit, and it's very painful when your internal force backs up, right? You say you can't do this because you don't have internal strength. And what about my father......? Even if he has deep internal strength, he won't feel good, right?"

Zhao Qingyan didn't have the performance of being poked in the sore spot at all, and said in a soft and calm voice: "Yes, you are right. But the breeze he won't be as miserable as I am. In order to continue my life, I let the Gu worm into my body several times, and I was poisoned much deeper than him. He's not like me, don't worry. ”

Ran Xingchen looked at this young man who was much younger than himself, and couldn't help but sigh: "You don't have to comfort me. ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "I didn't comfort you, you also saw the situation of the light wind, when did he behave abnormally?"

Ran Xingchen smiled slightly bitterly: "He won't let me see if he behaves abnormally." It's because I haven't seen it that I'm asking you. ”

Zhao Qingyan was silent for a moment: "Qingfeng is the best father, let's mourn." ”

Ran Xingchen hid his face and leaned against the wall weakly, speechless for a long time.

Zhuo Yi and Trojan Marquis glanced at each other and saw a sigh in each other's eyes. The two of them are friends with Ran Tongxuan and King Qi, and these two children are more or less grown up by them. Although Zhao Qingyan's body is distressed to them, they also see Ran Xingchen's pain in their eyes, but they can't help it.

Zhao Qingyan pondered for a moment, but still asked, "Master, Master Hou, why did you come here with Master Hua?"

Zhuo Yi said "ah": "This is an accident." Senior Nephew Ran happened to be a guest at my place, and Hua Boping went over, saying that Ouchi had snatched his junior brother's body and asked me to help make it convenient. On the way, I met Brother Mu who came to visit you. ”

Zhao Qing looked at his master speechlessly for a while, and then asked, "Then the master didn't communicate with Master Hua?"

Zhuo Yi said truthfully: "I don't think it's troublesome. He added with concern: "If it is inconvenient for you to deal with Hua Boping's funeral, I can help you go and talk to Qingcheng." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "Thank you Master for your kindness, no need." ”

Zhuo Yi said: "After you said this, I remembered, why is he so violent? As far as I know, Master Hua is not an impulsive and irritable person. Although Trojan Mahou didn't speak, judging from the way he became a little more serious, he was also very interested in it.

Zhao Qingyan sighed, seeing that Ran Xingchen's situation was not very bad, then he said: "I don't know very well, the only thing I know is that the Qingcheng faction has also participated in the attack on the puppet palace. The puppet palace is back again, and I am afraid that it will become another catastrophe for the Qingcheng faction. ”

Zhuo Yi asked, "How much will this puppet palace's action affect you?"

Zhao Qingyan sighed a little distressed: "I don't know, I can only see the situation in a few days." ”

Mumahou knew that he was tired, and he didn't have anything to ask, so he said, "Mo'er, then we'll leave first, and if we have any other questions, we'll bother." ”

Zhao Qingyan bowed slightly: "Master Hou is polite, if you have any questions, call me over at any time." After they left, he slowly exhaled his turbid breath, leaned back on the back of the wheelchair tiredly, closed his eyes and pondered.

"Does the little prince want to wait for the autopsy to be completed?"

Zhao Qingyan was interrupted by him to ponder, but he didn't say anything, and smiled slightly: "No need, I'll check the previous records and see if there is anything missing." As a result, I have to trouble Uncle Xiao to help me send it to Caoyuan. ”

Xiao Tao was stunned and said, "The little prince is not going back today?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "Well, I won't go back." Some time ago, I was recuperating and delayed a lot of things. It's more convenient to check information in the palace, and it's good to help Uncle Thirteen share some of it by the way, so you can't always be lazy. ”

Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little Wangye, if an adult asks about this, will he hide it?"

Zhao Qingyan was slightly stunned, and then remembered that he had said before that he didn't need to trouble King Huan to interfere. He thought for a while and said, "Forget it, Uncle Thirteen should know soon, if he doesn't ask you, you don't have to report it." Except for the thirteenth uncle, anyone who asks will say that I ordered the news to be sealed. ”

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "I know." ”

————————————————————————

"Mo'er, why are you so depressed?" King Huan looked at Zhao Qingyan, who was in a state of limbo, and couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Qingyan looked at the flowers on both sides of the road, and said casually: "I have some things on my mind, I want to see Tang Xiaoyu once in the next few days." ”

King Huan was slightly startled and asked, "Are you going to see him......?"

Zhao Qingyan knew that he was worried, and hurriedly explained: "It's not my illness, it's something else to worry about." That, Peer, that pot!" was talking about annoyance, when he saw a pot of orchids, and his eyes immediately began to glow.

Pei'er walked over and asked, "May I ask ...... this pot of flowers?"

"I'm sorry, I bought it first. A handsome man in his twenties opened his mouth with a smile, "It's rare to see a pot of lotus orchids, and I bought it for a few hundred taels of silver and was ready to give it away." ”

Pei'er looked at him with wide eyes for a while, then turned back to Zhao Qing and said, "Young Master, Marquis Lu snatched your orchid." ”

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "Go and grab it for this son, you have to give it to me anyway." ”

The man leaned over and picked up the flower pot, looking strange: "Huh, how do you know I'm going to give it to you?" ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly: "Lu Xi, I'll give you another chance to answer again, is this for my son?"

Lu Wei spread his hands helplessly: "The little prince grabbed it hard, how dare the villain not send it?"

Zhao Qingyan gave him a look of "count your acquaintances", and then took the flower pot and put it on his lap to look at it carefully, and couldn't put it down.

King Huan smiled and asked, "Why did Lu Hou think of going to the flower market? If I knew you were coming, I wouldn't have come here." ”

Lu cried: "Take a walk when you have nothing to do, and buy two pots by the way when you see what you like." Looking at Zhao Qingyan, who was concentrating on the flowers, he asked, "I heard you say Tang Xiaoyu, what's the matter?"

Zhao Qingyan picked a pot of flowers for Pei'er to buy, and then replied: "A few more people have died recently, I want to ask." ”

Lu Wei asked, "Crying blood for tears?" looked down at the flowers, looking quite unimpressed.

King Huan was stunned: "You know so quickly?"

Zhao Qingyan raised his head and looked at the two of them, quite surprised: "You are so well-informed. ”

Lu Wei smiled: "This kind of thing, I don't necessarily have to be slower than you guys to know." I don't think it's a big deal, don't say that you have no grudges with them, even if you do, they won't touch you with your identity. The puppet palace is still very low-key, and it is a closed sect, so it is impossible to do such a stupid thing as provoking the imperial court. ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "It's not just for my business, for the sake of Qingfeng and Jiang Wuyan, I can't swallow this breath." ”

Lu Wei blinked and said, "Your father and your mother will never agree." ”

King Huan also said: "Didn't you say it before? You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, it's not something you should take care of." Jiang Wuyan also said that you should not ask, leave it alone, don't you want to listen to what he means? Don't let your father worry. ”

Zhao Qingyan looked at the two, and the smile in his eyes slowly dissipated: "I know that my father and mother will be worried." But you tell me, I should accept such an outcome?
