Mo Yan took Ling Lu'er to say goodbye to the cold strings and returned to Zhaoque Palace, on the way to pass through the wind and bamboo sea, Ling Lu'er and Mo Yan along the way talked about the things in the bamboo wind sea when she was a child, and how to meet the master, how to learn the method of condensation and the antidote to the detoxification process, Mo Yan also babbled and asked some miscellaneous questions. After walking for more than ten days, a trip to the junction of Wuwutai and Zhufenghai, Mo Yan, who was talking and laughing, suddenly stood up and looked at the front blankly.

Ling Lu'er thought that there was another ambush, so she looked back and forth nervously, but she didn't see any unusual movement, so she followed Mo Yan's eyes, and when she saw Mo Yan's eyes, she suddenly took a deep breath.

In the distance, you can see a towering tree, which may have grown for thousands of years, and its trunk seems to be surrounded by dozens of people, towering into the clouds and erecting between heaven and earth. The canopy of the trees spread out as if they could cover the heavens and the earth, and the branches and foliage were covered with dense and pale purple flowers, which bloomed one after another, like large clusters of purple clouds hanging over the canopy.

There are also countless blooming flower branches hanging downward, and occasionally withered petals leisurely descending, looking at the flower tree, it is like a dream, a fairyland appears in front.

Ling Lu'er looked at the flower tree attentively, although she grew up in the bamboo wind sea, she had never seen such a beautiful flower tree, and couldn't help but murmur: "This tree is so beautiful, general, what kind of tree is this?" Mo Yan did not answer, but was silent. Ling Lu'er turned her head to look at Mo Yan with some doubts, but saw that Mo Yan's eyes were faintly filled with tears. Ling Lu'er was taken aback and said, "General, you, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Yan still didn't answer, but took a step, step by step towards the flower tree, Ling Lu'er followed inexplicably, Mo Yan walked to the front of the flower tree, stretched out his palm to support the trunk of the tree with a sad expression, for a while, Mo Yan was not so sad, and sat on the ground with his back against the trunk of the flower tree.

Ling Lu'er picked up the petals that fell on the ground, small oval, half dark purple and half light purple, as if carved by spiritual jade, very beautiful. Ling Lu'er sat beside Mo Yan, stretched out her hand to show Mo Yan, and asked, "This tree, there must be something special for the general, right?" Let me guess, I guess it must have something to do with Ning Yan Girl, right?" Mo Yan looked at Ling Lu'er with some surprise and said, "Why do you think so?"

Ling Lu'er smiled and said, "Last time, the general sent Yuanhuang Niangniang back to the palace, and we all went to the palace gate to greet Niangniang, I heard Ning Yan ask the general, what kind of tree is there, right?" Mo Yan looked up at the flowers on the canopy, admired Ling Lu'er's thoughtfulness in his heart, and turned his head to ask Ling Lu'er: "Did your master tell you about the last time the Zhule clan attacked, the last battle in Qinggu Peak?"

Ling Lu'er thought back and said, "It seems that I have said something, the master said that because of the death of King Yi in that battle, many soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. Mo Yan asked again: "Did your master say that there is a general named Longting?" Ling Lu'er shook her head and said, "No, I haven't heard of this name." ”

Mo Yan looked at Ling Lu'er and suddenly her heart moved, secretly thinking about who Ling Lu'er's master was, if it was an ordinary hermit, how could she know that Rin Sui Zhan fought without mentioning the general of Longting, and Ling Lu'er's occult skills were very familiar, could it be that her master was not an ordinary hermit, but there were other reasons?

Seeing Mo Yan looking at herself blankly, Ling Lu'er looked a little embarrassed, and said, "General, you go on." General, you, do you like that Ning Yan girl very much? But Ning Yan girl likes Ling Zhen Yujun, right?" Hearing Ling Lu'er ask like this, Mo Yan couldn't cry or laugh a little, and said, "I am very innocent with Ning Yan girl, and besides, Ning Yan doesn't like Ling Zhen Yujun either." Ling Lu'er pursed the corners of her lips and said, "Don't lie to people, the general's eyes when he looks at Ning Yan are different from when he looks at others." And ......" said a pause, looked at Mo Yan, and continued: "Aren't Ling Zhen Yujun and Ning Yan Girl very good in Cangyunya. ”

Mo Yan sighed and said, "It's not what you think. Ling Lu'er said: "How is that, general, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me, and if you have a sweetheart, you can also tell me, I'll ask for you?" Mo Yan said: "What do you ask?" Ling Lu'er said: "Ask Miss Ningyan if she likes you." After Ling Lu'er said this, her face was delicate and naughty, and Mo Yan suddenly found that Ling Lu'er knew that she didn't take Ning Yan as her sweetheart, she was transferring her sadness and making herself happy. Thinking of this, Mo Yan felt a little warm and quiet in her heart, Ling Lu'er, such a good girl's son, Mo Yan suddenly had a thought, such a good girl, she shouldn't miss it like this.

Ling Lu'er sat beside Mo Yan upright, and asked: "General, tell me about it, the smoke hall in the palace and the smoke girl, sometimes I listen to the people in the palace whisper a few words, they all look mysterious, I really want to know, general, tell me, okay?"

Mo Yan sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay." When you listen to what others say, why don't I tell you. So Mo Yan started from Ning Yan being sent into Cangyun Palace by his neighbors.

"When Ning Yan first entered Cangyun Palace, it was the age of Cardamom, and he served the original Cangyun Palace Imperial Monarch's pen and ink calligraphy and painting at that time, but he was also peaceful. Later, the old emperor retired from the palace at an old age, and King Yi always appreciated Ling Zhen's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, so he appointed Ling Zhen as the emperor of Cangyunya, when Ling Zhen was just three hundred years old. Ning Yan is still serving in the Cangyun Palace, facing Ling Zhen Yujun day and night, and gradually becomes affectionate. If it can continue like this, Ning Yan marrying into Cangyun Palace as a concubine may be able to live a peaceful life and live a peaceful life.

But one day, Yuan Huang Niangniang, who was still the eldest princess at the time, canonized a maid as an official in the palace. Speaking of this, Mo Yan sighed again, and then said: "This maid is now the official in charge of the singing and dancing service palace. Yuanhuang Niangniang was born to be kind and charitable, King Yi once gave Niangniang a palace outside the Zhaoque Palace, named Fanxinglou, dedicated to adopting those lonely and helpless children, Niangniang has never been married in her life, all her thoughts are used to raise these children without parents, among which Pianruo is more well-behaved and sensible, and she is very good-looking. is also a coincidence, this Pianruo, just fell in love with Ling Zhen Yujun, who often entered the palace and practiced with the king. ”
