Chapter VIII

Ning Yan looked at Ling Zhen Yujun blankly, Ling Zhen also looked at Ning Yan quietly, the two of them looked at each other silently, suddenly Ning Yan stretched out his hand and gently swept the hair that was blown to the side of Yujun's face by the breeze, Ling Zhen Yujun did not move, let Ning Yan's demeanor, Ning Yan gently put down his hair and said, "Yujun hasn't come to see me for a long time." Ling Zhen nodded lightly and asked, "Why did you come out and not sleep in the palace?" Ning Yan thought for a while before saying, "I don't know why there are a lot of sounds and messy sounds these days, and it's a little boring to stay in the palace. So I came out to breathe, and just now, somehow fell asleep. ”

Ling Zhen knew that the sound of Ning Yan's speech was precisely because the celebration feast was imminent, and the palace people were busy, so there were a lot of noises. Then he said: "It's okay, wait a minute, Benjun uses the Hidden Cloud Technique to hide the noise, and it won't disturb you." There was a faint smile on the corner of Ning Yan's mouth, and then he slowly sat up and said, "Imperial Monarch." ”

Before he finished speaking, it may have been because he got up suddenly, after a light breeze, Ning Yan suddenly felt a little dizzy, raised his hand to support his forehead, Ling Zhen saw this, stretched out his arm, gently took Ning Yan into his arms, let Ning Yan's head rest on his shoulder, Ning Yan took a deep breath, and then eased his mind. Ling Zhen looked at Ning Yan in his arms, his face was pale and lifeless, and he was like the Ning Yan from before. With mixed feelings in his heart, he raised his hand and stroked Ning Yan's long hair and asked, "Ning Yan, what were you going to say just now?"

Ning Yan thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "I forgot, I can't remember." After speaking, he still closed his eyes and leaned on Ling Zhen's arms very steadily. Ling Zhen Yujun sat on the stone platform with Ning Yan like this, watching the thick smoke and light mist drift back and forth.

After a long time, the maid came to report that the king was waiting for Ling Zhen to go to the banquet, and the royal monarch slowly picked up Ning Yan and said: "There is a feast in the palace these days, and it will be busy for a while, and when the work is over, this monarch will come to see you." Ning Yan smiled and nodded. Ling Zhen turned around and left after giving the order.

Ning Yan still sat down on the cushion, looking at the back of the Emperor who disappeared little by little, and after a while, a light purple cloud enveloped the Smoke Hall, and those fragmentary sounds suddenly subsided a lot. Ning Yan knew that this was Ling Zhen's Hidden Cloud Technique. Looking blankly at the Hidden Cloud Enchantment Pondering, in fact, Ning Yan knew about Ling Zhen's attitude towards the Imperial Monarch, it was impossible for an Imperial Monarch to take such good care of an ordinary maid, or even be close to her.

I heard the maid say that the royal monarch is not married. What kind of past did he have with Ling Zhen Yujun? Who is Ling Zhen himself? Ning Yan sometimes wondered, but thinking that his life was still on the line at this time, he didn't know how long he could last, so why bother thinking so much. Ning Yan just felt that Ling Zhen was very relieved when he was there. But what happened to the emperor and himself before, and what will happen in the future, Ning Yan doesn't care, and he doesn't want to know.

After the banquet between King Ru and Ling Zhen, Ling Zhen Yujun left the palace and went back to Cangyunya. For example, the king issued another edict for General Mo Yan to come to see him immediately. After a while, General Mo Yan came to the harem to meet Ruwang.

Ruwang looked at General Mo Yan and didn't speak for a while. Mo Yan was a little surprised, but he had no choice but to bow down and wait for his life. Ruwang seemed to sigh before he spoke: "Recently, General Mo Yan has been patrolling and guarding Zhaoque Palace, but what is unusual?" Mo Yan heard such a question as the king, then there must be something that was not well patrolled, and hurriedly replied: "Recently, because the feast is approaching, there are many palace people who enter and leave Zhaoque Palace and walk around the palace. ”

For example, the king put down the teacup and said: "This king knows that the palace has been busy recently, and the palace patrol soldiers are also useful, so today the king issued an edict to send some palace soldiers from the five realms to increase the patrol, and the palace patrol can also rest a little." Mo Yan immediately gave a salute and thanked the king for his compassion. Ruwang said: "Other places are especially good, there is only one place in the palace, this king is very concerned, General Mo Yan must guard this king." Mo Yan looked at King Ru and asked, and King Ru said, "By the Lingbo Lake, the Hall of Smoke." ”

Hearing that King Ru said that it was the Smoke Palace, Mo Yan's heart was shocked, and he didn't think about it, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the minister must live up to his mission." Ruwang's face seemed to be very heavy, and he said, "Mo Yan, don't let this king down. For a moment, Mo Yan felt that King Ru seemed to mean something else, but King Ru didn't say anything more, nodded and let Mo Yan retreat.

Exiting the Zhaoque Palace, Mo Yan walked back to the General's Mansion sullenly, today's summons of the king feels unusual, the king seems to be a little preoccupied, and now Meng'an is united in the country, and the country is prosperous, why does the king have such a look. And the place he was worried about would be the Smoke Palace, could it be because of the smoke?

When he suddenly thought of this name, Mo Yan felt a deep pain in his heart, after so many years, Mo Yan had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was used to seeing wind and frost, but he still didn't dare to hear this name, because this name also involved the name of another person, a brave general who was talented and talented.

The bitter battles of the year, the years of the wolf-smoke war, and the last sacrifice of the generals and Ningyan to save the day are all memories that Moyan will never forget. And at the last moment, the master leaned on Huaiqiao and said to himself before leaving, and the master warned himself that the disaster of the Zhule clan was not over, and he should not be underestimated.

At that time, Mo Yan was not fully convinced, could it be that the master's words would be verified one by one? Mo Yan supported the stone case with both hands, pondering Ruwang's order, or did Ruwang already know, otherwise why did Ruwang leave Ning Yan in Zhaoque Palace, now Ning Yan has lost his previous memory, and Ling Zhen Yujun's attitude towards Ning Yan Everyone in the palace knows it.

However, why didn't King Ru let Ling Zhen Yujun bring Ning Yan back to Cangyunya, and sent me to patrol the Yan Hao Palace at this time? You must know that after defeating the Zhu Le tribe back then, King Ru has always been very taboo about the topic of Ning Yan, especially Mo Yan without mentioning a word. Therefore, Mo Yan never mentioned these old things in front of King Ru. Not to mention that the king would allow Mo Yan to go to see Ning Yan. Mo Yan thought about it and couldn't understand how King Ru's order today could be so strange. Smoke Palace, too many years, Ning Yan has been alone in the Smoke Hall for nearly a hundred years, no matter what, now, I can finally go to see you.

That night, Mo Yan strengthened the inspection of Zhaoque Palace, and specially sent additional palace soldiers to guard the Yanhao Palace. Mo Yan walked back and forth in the palace alone. Walking to the stone fence by a pond, I saw a figure standing there a little lonely from a distance, at this time, late at night, the palace maids had already forbidden the palace maids to walk, who was so ignoring the palace rules? Mo Yan quickened his pace and walked over, and when he got closer, he could see from the figure that it was the female official in the palace.
