When all the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, because in fact, everyone knew that seeing Ning Yan's condition after being rescued by Ling Zhen, it would be difficult for Ning Yan to heal from his injuries. After saying this, the king immediately retired and returned to the harem. The courtiers had no other objections, and they all slowly dispersed outside the hall of respect.

Master Heng Yong quickly stepped forward and stopped Ling Zhen Yujun, who was walking towards the outside of the hall, and said, "The Yujun is blaming the old minister for saying more?" Ling Zhen Yujun saluted and said: "No, it is just right that Shizun came to mention this matter, otherwise this monarch would not know how to act like a king." Hengyong continued: "But Ruwang's answer is very vague, the old minister doesn't understand the reason why Ruwang places Ningyan girl like this, originally I thought that Ruwang would let the royal monarch take Ningyan girl back to Cangyunya, but Ruwang didn't do this. ”

Ling Zhen Yujun pondered for a moment and said, "Ning Yan's injuries have not healed now, and the Smoke Hall is full of spiritual energy, and it is the best way to recuperate his injuries there." Seeing Ling Zhen answer like this, Heng Yong sighed, shook his head, turned around and left.

Ling Zhen Yujun also slowly paced out of the Hall of Respect, and just saw a woman with emerald sleeves floating up, it was the female official in charge of the song and dance service of the Zhaoque Palace, Pian Ruo, on the high jade steps of the Hall of Respect, Pian Ruo saluted Ling Zhen Yujun, Ling Zhen's figure paused, nodded and still walked away. Pian Ruo looked at the figure of Ling Zhen Yujun walking away, sighed secretly, and returned to the palace.

After walking far away, Ling Zhen turned his head to look at the smoke hall hidden in the thick fog and the sun, behind the Yaolin Qiong tree, silent, and returned to Cangyunya in a daze.

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

The war in Meng'an Country has been settled, and the five major realms have slowly been recuperated, restoring their former prosperity and glory. Only Zhaoque City, where Zhaoque Palace is located, has not yet been repaired, so craftsmen from all over the city have gathered in Zhaoque City to repair the destroyed houses and palaces everywhere. The missing palace people in the palace are also slowly making up. On this day, the king issued an edict announcing that if he lost his family members in the war, his subjects who had nowhere to go could be summoned to the palace as palace attendants or attendants.

Ling Lu'er, a lone girl, both of her parents died in the war. Alone was summoned to the palace, because he was still young, and he was very clever and lovely. is better at collecting dew and incense, so he was placed in the Rouge Pavilion where he made frost powder flower dew. The Rouge Pavilion is a place that specializes in collecting all kinds of flower dew and grass juice to condense the fragrance or pills, and there are many people in charge of the palace medicine officer Pu Shuangshi, and there are many people who are not tired, and Pu Shuang is very pleasant, so Ling Luer is quite comfortable and casual in the Rouge Pavilion.

This day Ling Lu'er collected the flower dew in the harem garden, and was about to return to the Rouge Pavilion with the jade bottle, because she was not too familiar with the path in the palace soon after entering the palace, she walked along the stone path for a long time and did not see the palace of the Rouge Pavilion, and walked a few heavy buildings and deep gardens The palace gradually became more and more secluded, Ling Luer couldn't see the figure around, and saw a high boulder archway not far in front of her, and the place seen behind the archway was misty, and there were countless towering flowers and trees and green bamboos hidden in the haze, faintly, and a little cold and cool mist drifted by。 Ling Lu'er had never seen such a strange place during her time in the palace, let alone heard anyone mention such a place, so she didn't dare to break into it rashly, so she couldn't help but stretch her neck to look at it with curiosity. was watching, and someone behind him shouted: "Who are you, dare to look here?"

Ling Lu'er was looking at the front intently, startled by the cold cheer behind her, and a cold steel knife brushed on her ear, and the blade was aimed at her neck. Ling Lu'er blinked in fright, and hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see a palace patrol soldier in plain silver armor staring at her with a big steel knife, and behind the palace soldiers, there were two generals who were also wearing armor looking at her.

Ling Lu'er was a little relieved to see that it was the general who was patrolling the palace, and hurriedly said: "I am the maid of the Rouge Pavilion, because I went a little farther to harvest the flower dew, I couldn't find the way back, and I came here unconsciously, and I asked the general to guide me back to the Rouge Pavilion." ”

Seeing this, the patrol took back the steel knife and asked, "You are from the Rouge Pavilion, why have you never seen you in the palace, whose maid are you?" Ling Lu'er replied: "I am a maid who has just entered the palace, and my name is Ling Lu'er under the door of the Rouge Pavilion's Pushuang master." After saying that, he took out the name charm from his sleeve and handed it to the patrolman, who looked at the handwriting on it, then turned to a man in golden armor standing behind him and said, "It is the attendant who was summoned to the palace before." ”

The man's face was covered with half of gold armor, and only his eyes and half of his nose were exposed, and his eyes were sharp. He nodded without any expression. So the palace soldiers returned the name charm to Ling Lu'er and said: "You can walk out from the path over there, you can't come back to this place in the future, otherwise you will be punished for a felony, remember?" Ling Lu'er put away the name charm, nodded and thanked, and immediately walked out from the side path.

Here, the golden armor general let the two patrols continue to patrol, and he was two steps behind, looking back at the wisps of green clouds on the stone archway not far away, slowly drifting by, showing the three big characters engraved on it, "Smoke Palace", for a while, he sighed faintly, and left quickly.
