Seeing that Pian Ruo asked, Cangfan couldn't hide it, so he replied: "The royal monarch has been seriously ill recently, and his mind is weak to meditate in the apse. ”

After listening to Cangfan's words, Pian Ruo's eyes only looked at the newly served teacup on the carved wooden table beside him, stretched out his hand and turned the teacup, and said to Cangfan: "Cangfan, I know that your royal monarch has always treated you with trust, and I have nothing to say to you, I think because of the smoke girl, so you have a lot of complaints about me, but I have always been familiar with the imperial monarch, not to mention that I was called to come, I always want to see the royal monarch's complexion to return to the king and the mother, if it is the imperial monarch, I only see it from afar, and do not bother, how?"

Cangfan thought in her heart, this Pianruo official was afraid that she was going to see the royal monarch, and she couldn't refuse to come when she was summoned, so she had to reply: "The official servant is serious, and the ministers don't dare, so please ask the official to sit down first, and let me go to the apse to say goodbye." ”

Pianruo lowered his head and drank tea, no longer looking at Cangfan, and sure enough, within a while, Cangfan came back, bowed down and asked Pianruo to turn into the apse.

Pianruo glanced at Cangfan indifferently, got up and walked to the apse, Cangfan led the way in front, turned a few corridors and Qiongyuan came to a palace. Pianruo walked into the room, it seemed that this was Ling Zhen's study, and there were paperwork, pen and ink everywhere. Looking at it, a figure slowly walked out from behind a carved pavilion, it was Ling Zhen.

Pian Ruo turned his head and saw that Ling Zhen was wearing a red jade cloak with a plain brocade shirt inside, although his hair was tied upright, he did not wear a crown, only a dark cyan ancient hosta, his face was pale, and he lost a lot of weight.

Pian Ruo didn't expect Ling Zhen to lose weight like this, seeing Ling Zhen's complexion slow, his heart was sad for a while, so he had to take a step forward and lean over to pay respects, and said: "The official servant Pian Ruo was summoned to visit the imperial monarch, which disturbed the imperial monarch's rest, please don't be surprised." ”

Ling Zhen nodded and said, "Please sit down, the official and the official don't have to see each other like this." As he spoke, he slowly walked to a rattan chair and sat down, and Cangfan took the tea and withdrew from the room to wait.

Pian Ruo looked at Ling Zhen, a high-spirited and noble royal monarch that day, now so haggard and cold, unconsciously tears filled his eyes, and he didn't dare to shed tears, so he had to smile and said: "Why is the royal monarch so sick so heavy, Ruwang and Niangniang are very worried." ”

Although Ling Zhen's breath was a little heavier, it was not a big problem, but he was a little tired, and replied: "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days, and then Benjun will go to Zhaoque Palace to thank King Ru and Niangniang." Pianruo rolled her eyes and said with some hesitation: "Just thank you, just, don't you thank me? As he spoke, he gradually lowered his head, and a tear finally fell on his shirt.

Ling Zhen saw Pianruo shed tears, and had always known that although Pianruo was a weak woman, she had an arrogant temperament and would never accept defeat. If Pian didn't have to do such a thing of sending rewards from thousands of miles away, now she shed tears in front of her, but in the end she was worried about herself.

Ling Zhen still couldn't bear to see Pian Ruo crying, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and he was a little indifferent to the resentment in the past, knowing that Pian Ruo's thoughts about himself were so deep and had never changed, so he also felt a little warm.

But thinking of Ning Yan, Ling Zhen finally turned his head, sighed softly, took a cold breath, and said: "This gentleman knows the worries of the official servant, and he is very ashamed, not to mention that this gentleman is not in serious trouble, the official servant will go to the post house to rest, and he will return to the palace tomorrow to resume his life." ”

Pianruo heard that Ling Zhen's words were chasing away guests, he turned a blind eye to himself like this, Pianruo glanced at Ling Zhen with tears, a little complaining, and replied a little angrily: "Yes, I will retire and not disturb Yujun Qingxiu." Then he turned and walked out of the room.

Pian Ruo had his own Cangfan to lead the way to the post house, and then returned to Zhaoque Palace, Ling Zhen's mind was deep, and he really couldn't afford to say goodbye, so he only told Feng Wu Mo to wait slowly for Pian Ruo, Feng Wu agreed, Ling Zhen sighed again, and went back to the inner hall to rest.

In the secluded Huai River, Hotaru Yue stared coldly at Dong Liye, who was busy in and out, she knew that Dongli Ye was obviously hiding the place where she was imprisoned, so it seemed that the maid Ning Yan should be a very related person, otherwise Dongli Ye and the clansmen would not be so silent about this matter, since they even hid themselves, then it was even more impossible for the other clansmen to know the details.

Firefly Yue is a temperament that prefers to go against the wind, the more obscure things are that are difficult to find, the more I want to know where this maid who even hides herself is, and what important things this woman is related to.

So, Hotaru began to pretend to be careless to find the whereabouts of Ning Yan, and Hotaru went to the clan village for several days in a row, secretly looking for clues about her mother, and things about Ning Yan, but there was no particularly useful discovery.

It was late this night, when Firefly Yue walked out of the village, he suddenly saw the big white lion waiting for him outside the village, Firefly Yue was busy looking for news for a while, and did not go into the mountains to take care of the white lion, at this time he was very happy to see it, so he accompanied the white lion to the cave in the mountain, and took care of the white lion in the mountain and felt a little cool, only to find that it was the middle of the night unconsciously.

After seeing the white lion asleep, she walked back to Youhuai River alone, walked for a while, and saw that there was still a long way to go back to his wooden house, and he felt a little sleepy.

Looking around, he found a place not far from the village where the tribesmen lived, where there were many towering trees, and Firefly casually found a big tree with dense branches and leaves, jumped up a few times, found a comfortable place to lie down on his side and fell asleep.

The shadow of the moon, half-asleep and half-awake, Firefly seemed to hear a slight footstep from far and near walking briskly under the tree, Firefly Yue has always been alert, and woke up at once.

But she did not dare to get up at once, lest a noise would alarm the comer, so she only raised her head slightly to look under the tree.

Sure enough, I saw that a man dressed in a black Yue Yue cloak had already walked under the tree where Firefly was asleep and walked towards the clan village.

Yingyue stared at it carefully, that kind of cloak is available to every clansman in the Youhuai River, and it is worn by the clansmen who usually go in and out of Meng'an Country to avoid people's eyes and ears, but why does this person feel a little different.

Looking at his figure and steps carefully, it should be a man, and suddenly, Hotaru Yue was shocked, how could this person's figure be so similar to the person he met in the dilapidated Zen temple in Qinggu Peak that day? Could it be him?
