CHAPTER IX

Pian Ruo was dressed in a palace dress and brocade skirt, standing motionless by the stone fence looking into the distance, Mo Yan knew that Pian Ruo had been granted the permission of the king, in order to facilitate the control of the maids in the palace, Pian Ruo could come and go freely in the palace without abiding by the restrictions of the forbidden night. So Mo Yan slowly approached. Pianruo noticed that someone was coming, and when he turned around and saw that it was General Mo Yan, he immediately turned around and bowed down with a faint expression, and after Mo Yan returned the salute, he asked: "I don't know if Pian Ruo's official servant is here, I was alarmed." ”

Pian Ruo shook her head, and said without any obvious reaction: "The general doesn't have to be polite, it's me who hinders the general's inspection." Mo Yan said hello and didn't ask anything, and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, I heard Pian Ruo continue to say: "Has the general been to the Star Tower in the past few days?" Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I passed by yesterday, why did the official ask about the Star Tower?"

Pianruo sighed leisurely, and said slowly: "In a few days, it will be the birthday of Yuanhuang Niangniang, Yuanhuang Niangniang has been in retreat for nearly 100 years, I miss her very much, I don't know if I can go back to live in the Star Tower when Niangniang leaves the customs?" Mo Yan looked in the direction of Pianruo, which turned out to be the place where the Star Palace was located.

Yuanhuang Niangniang is the sister of the same clan as the king, the royal daughter from the orthodox royal family, but she has always been responsible for saving people with medicine and doing good to sentient beings, and has never talked about marriage in her life. Therefore, Yuanhuang Niangniang is now the most respected person in the entire Meng'an country in addition to the king, because Yuanhuang Niangniang has been walking outside the palace all the year round to practice medicine and save people, and adopt orphans and young sons who lost their parents because of the war. It is used to raise the children adopted by Yuanhuang Niangniang.

Yuan Huang took care of and taught these children in the starry building outside the palace all day long, but wars broke out frequently, and on the one hand, he had to bring the soldiers of Zhaoque Palace to fight against the invading Zhule people to save the people of the world. Therefore, he was always busy, and he did not have time to deepen his cultivation of occult arts. So much so that when Yuanhuang Niangniang was exhausted in order to save these children and avoid the pursuit of the Zhule people, she was seriously injured by the sneak attack of the Zhule people who were ambushed in the city. At this time, Yuanhuang Niangniang was nearly five hundred years old, and after being seriously injured by this, the mystic began to disperse, and the internal force was also reduced. In addition, King Yi was surrounded and suppressed, and the bad news of killing the killer came one after another. Yuan Huang was too heartbroken because of this series of heavy traumas, and his body could not support it. In the end, he was sick and fell ill on the dance stage.

Therefore, if the king issued an edict to let Yuanhuang Niangniang enter the spiritual place of the dancing platform, Mi Can's retreat and cultivation in the middle. It has been almost a hundred years now, and the Yuanhuang Niangniang at that time was extremely profound, but nearly a hundred years has not been repaired for nearly a hundred years, which shows how heavy the Yuanhuang Niangniang's injuries were back then.

Pian Ruo was still in the early years of the family was killed by the Zhu Le people, lonely when met Yuan Huang Niangniang, in the palace in the star building by Yuan Huang Niang Niang carefully raised and raised, Yuan Huang Niang Niang quite appreciated Pian Ruo's intelligence and lovely, when he grew up, he was brought back to Zhaoque Palace as an official servant, in charge of the palace singing and dancing service, so Pian Ruo treated Yuan Huang Niangniang more affectionately than others.

Mo Yan knows the reason for this affection. Seeing that Pian Ruo was worried about Niangniang's thoughts, and that Yuan Huang Niangniang was indeed admired, he said: "Pian Ruo officials don't have to worry too much, Niangniang is a person with deep blessings, and she must be able to turn the crisis into safety." Pianruo smiled faintly and said, "I hope it will be like the general's auspicious words." Tomorrow, I want to go out of the palace to the dancing platform of the Mi Canju to worship the Hou Niangniang, at noon I will tell the king to ask for the door ban card, and also ask the general to inform the gate patrol on behalf of me, and then close the palace gate after I leave the palace. ”

Mo Yan immediately agreed: "Don't worry about the official servant, tomorrow happens to be my inspection, and I will definitely arrange it properly." Pianruo smiled and saluted and left.

The next day, Mo Yan personally patrolled the palace, and at noon, he saw that Pianruo brought the door number order and all kinds of things to be given to Yuanhuang Niangniang, as well as things given by the prince. Escorted by the Shu Cheng soldiers with chariots and horse patrols, Mo Yan personally ordered the gatekeepers to open the small door next to the palace gate, and watched Pianruo and others leave the Zhaoque Palace and go to the dance platform. Mo Yan explained that the gatekeepers would guard the palace gate, and then took the palace patrol trail to inspect everywhere.

Mo Yan was walking towards the apse of Zhaoque Palace, and suddenly heard someone calling his name, turned his head to look, it turned out to be Ling Lu'er. Ling Lu'er saw Mo Yan stop in the corridor, so she ran over happily, holding a large bowl painted with color paint in her hand, ran to Mo Yan and stopped, her face was bright, and she smiled and said, "The general guess what is in the bowl in my hand, and I will give it to you if I guess correctly." ”

Mo Yan is like Wang Zun's former general, who is as cold as ice and does not smile on weekdays, where does anyone dare to come to him to say such a joke, before Mo Yan can speak, the palace soldier next to him has already opened his mouth to reprimand: "Where is the girl who doesn't understand the palace rules, dare to come and laugh with the general, don't hurry away, otherwise." Before she could say what else, Mo Yan raised her hand and said, "Forget it, I recognize her." ”

Ling Lu'er was reprimanded by the palace soldier, and pouted unhappily, but seeing that Mo Yan didn't blame herself, she immediately glanced at the palace soldier, and said to Mo Yan with a smile: "Then the general guess." Mo Yan saw Ling Lu'er's clever and dexterous expression, and felt a little funny in her heart, but she still said with a straight face: "We patrol have a heavy responsibility, and we don't have time to laugh with the girl, so you go and play with others." With that, he led the patrol and turned and walked forward.

"Hey" Ling Lu'er hurriedly shouted, caught up with Mo Yan in a few steps, and muttered in a low voice: "Is it so difficult to laugh?" Mo Yan asked in a somewhat cold tone this time: "What else?" Ling Lu'er held the big bowl in one hand, and opened the lid of the bowl with the other hand to show Mo Yan, only to see that there was a small bluestone bowl inside, still covered with the lid, Ling Lu'er said: " Oh, this is the Qianshan Palace's Han Ting Imperial Monarch asked me to send you, I went to the Qianshan Palace a while ago to ask for a few plum blossoms to come back to condense the dew, and the Cold Thunder Imperial Monarch asked me to take this back to you along the way. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed the small bowl to Mo Yan, who looked at the small bowl carved in bluestone and lost his mind for a moment, and then hurriedly raised his hand to take it and said, "There is Miss Lao." Ling Lu'er snorted unappreciatively, turned around and left.

Looking at Ling Lu'er's distant figure, Mo Yan said to the patrolman: "You go to inspect first, and you will come immediately." After speaking, a person hurriedly returned to the general's mansion, and as he walked, he ordered Qi Shanyu to close the door of the mansion and not allow anyone to enter, and he also retreated the maids in the back cabinet outside. Then he walked to the hall of the apse, put the bluestone bowl on the stone table, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, and slowly raised his hand to press the lid of the stone bowl.
