Chapter 3: Deeply Lost

The imperial doctor really lived up to his expectations and said, "The princess is weak and should not**..."

Lan Qifeng watched Lan Ruoyan grow up, which can be said to be both a father and a mother. He knew what her health was like, but he didn't expect that she could not even continue a normal person's life. He stroked his daughter's head and said, "Yan'er, you must take good care of your body so that you can give birth to a son..."

"Yes." Lan Ruoyan made a look of regret. Xuanyuan Chen, who watched, only suppressed his smile. Lan Ruoyan's move was really good, which not only avoided scolding, but also made Lan Qifeng pay more attention to him. After all, it's a big deal that my daughter can't get pregnant or even have sex.

At the time of parting, Lan Qifeng directly told Xuanyuanchen to treat Yaner better, "Your Majesty, I hope you will take better care of her."

"My father-in-law, don't worry, Yan'er is my wife, and I should take care of her."

The disaster finally passed. Lan Ruoyan got into the carriage and felt sleepy. Xuanyuan Chen generously borrowed a shoulder for her, and she slept comfortably back to the royal palace. Looking at her sleeping face, Xuanyuanchen only thought that if there were only the two of them, Sang'er should have avoided a lot of trouble. Alas, but Su Mu would not give up so easily. Sang'er was afraid that Su Mu would be sad and had never refused directly. Too many worries, after all, it's hard for yourself. He secretly vowed to cherish this beloved woman.

After Su Mu came back from Tubo, he ran to King Chen's Palace when he had time. That day, although he always touched a soft nail from Lan Ruoyan, his heart fell down. But when I think of the grievances that Yaner may suffer in the royal palace, I don't care about these. When Xuanyuanchen saw it, his face became more and more ugly day by day.

Lanxin Pavilion, as usual, is very quiet in the huge yard.

"Brother Su, you're here." Seeing Su Mu's visit, Lan Ruoyan still greeted him warmly. Because she didn't have him in her heart, she always felt a little ashamed of him. What happened last time..."

"Let the past go. I came here to tell you about the princess. Last time I came, I wanted to tell you, but later..." Su Muyun said lightly, as if all the unpleasantness had never happened. Those quarrels and intentions were illusory. He was still the gentle man. .

The snow is slowly melting, soaking in the slightly wet soil. The thick and pure white snow slowly turns into crystal clear ice grains. Under the refraction of sunlight, the whole yard is very bright. As long as it is a little colored, it can refract a different light.

Su Mu will talk to Lan Ruoyan in detail about the bits and pieces of life in Tibet. Lan Ruoyan listened very carefully. A pot of hot tea slowly gets cold, and then slowly injects hot water. The aroma and smoke fill each other's faces a little blurred.

Time is slowly slipping away. At this moment, they are so harmonious, without those conflicts and those sharp ones. At this moment, they seem to be old friends who have known for many years. On a certain afternoon, they tasted tea and talked about the past.

"It's good that Lin'er found happiness there. Fortunately, she didn't stop her escape at the beginning, otherwise, maybe a marriage arranged by God will be missed from now on. Lan Ruoyan got up, stretched out her hand from the warm sleeve, and touched the ice on the leaves with her fingertips. There is a cold and transparent feeling all over the body. Although she also knew a lot in the letter, she still felt at ease by slowly saying those things from his gentle voice.

Su Mu also got up, took Lan Ruoying's hand and said, "It's cold and easy to catch a cold." He will not forget the cold poison in her original body.

"It doesn't matter. It's okay." Lan Ruoyan pulled back the hand he held. This was a pair of slender and delicate hands, very warm, with a thin cocoon between his middle finger and forefinger. It is a little similar to Xuan Yuanchen's hand, but it seems that she is more comfortable when the latter holds her, perhaps because he is nominally his husband.

Once, she came up with the idea that it would be a wonderful thing in her life, no matter what, no matter what happens, if there is a pair of warm hands that can hold herself like this and never give up. However, this is only temporary warmth. She can't see the so-called eternity and dares not deliver it easily.

"Yaner..." Su Mu's hand stopped in mid-air, and his tone was a little desolate, as if a cold wind poured into his throat.

"Brother Su, I'm also a little tired after sitting for so long. I want to go into the house to rest. Lan Ruoyan turned back, and Yanlan's jacket and the snowy sky set off more and more dust. The tip of the petite nose is slightly cold and a little red.

"Well, I'll say goodbye first... Yaner, I will wait for you all the time, waiting for the day when you say you need me." He couldn't hide his loss, but there was still a smile on his face. He didn't want her to be embarrassed. But when he left, he shook Lan Ruoyan's hand and handed her a note between his hands. After that, he smiled warmly and left.

One left and one right, he stepped in and wanted to stretch out his hand to hold him, but he could only stop where he was. No matter how much he wanted to hold his hands, he could only clenched his hands into a fist.

Walking to the garden, Su Mu slowed down and remembered that she was in a hurry every time, she couldn't help laughing. He is actually familiar with Chen's palace. At that time, he was young and frivolous, and he was still free with Xuanyuan Chen, who was the prince. Xuanyuan Chen also respected his talent and was inseparable from him.

After that, he met Lan Ruofeng. The two of them had the same martial arts skills and interests, and they also got together all day long. Xuanyuanchen and Lan Ruofeng asked him to take the imperial examination. He declined several times, but finally failed Xuanyuanchen and Lan Ruofeng's advice and took the imperial examination.

And the clan praised his high school, as if this brought supreme glory to the family. Xuanyuanchen recommended it in front of the previous emperor, so he got a high official, so he had to thank Xuanyuanchen for his kindness.

He helped Xuanyuan Chen not only because he repays his kindness, but also because he regards Xuanyuanchen as his best friend. As long as Xuanyuan Chen wants to complete it, he will try his best to do what he can do!

However, some things suddenly changed after meeting Lan Ruoyan. His world began to revolve around Lan Ruoyan. What happened? The first thing he thought of was not Xuanyuan Chenlan Ruofeng, but Lan Ruoyan.

Walking to a snow-covered evergreen tree bush, he reached out and picked a green field and whispered "smoke." Then he fell into endless memories and infatuated.

After Nangong Jinzhi failed to lure Xuanyuanchen last time, he also restrained for a while. However, she is not a person who is willing to be at peace. After learning that Su Mu went to Lanxin Pavilion again, her jealousy and resentment towards Lan Ruoyan increased day by day. She didn't understand what was good about Lan Ruoyan. Why is it that as long as it is a man, he always revolves around her? The prince is like this, and even the handsome Su Mu. How can he not be resentful?

What you can't get is always in **, and there is no fear of being favored. Unless one day, she sits in the position she wants, she won't stop so easily.

"Lord Su, it's a coincidence. I can meet you in the back garden. Do you think this is the so-called fate? Nangong Jinzhi deliberately stopped in front of Su Mu and smiled.

What's the situation? Su Mu's head was full of black lines. Although the woman in front of her was beautiful, she was quite frivolous in her words, but she still smiled and said quietly, "It turned out to be the Empress Ye. The subordinate is polite." In this way, you won't feel that the rules are broken. At this moment, he suddenly remembered King Chen's words. As long as he wanted any woman, he could not help shaking his head with a smile.

"I heard that Lord Su came to the royal palace again and went to Lanxin Pavilion as soon as he came. The prince didn't say anything, but the gossip of the servants reached my ears, which was really unpleasant. Nangong Jinzhi said with an embarrassed posture.

Su Mu was shocked when he heard the words. Why did he forget this? Yan'er is not very important in this regard. I believe that those who are clear will be clear. But why did you ignore it? Yan'er is at least the imperial concubine of Chen's palace. Where did she put her like this?

"The Empress Ye joked. The subordinate and the princess are just friends. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I just came to visit."

Nangong Jinzhi listened to Su Mu's words and was even more dissatisfied. At this time, she did not forget to defend the woman. She was depressed, but on the surface, she still looked like a good man. Alas! Lord Su has just come back from Tibet. He doesn't know many things. I don't think the princess will take the initiative to talk to you. It's just that the princess has suffered these days, and even I can't stand it..."

In his heart, he hated Lan Ruoyan's dissatisfaction with the majesty of the royal palace and didn't render it well in front of Su Mu. How could he provoke this serious person to act out of line?

"The Empress said it seriously. The subordinate has something else to do, so she will leave first." Su Mu has no good impression of Nangong Jinzhi. It's better to understand the truth of the matter than to listen to others chew their tongues.

"Oh, Lord Su, I haven't finished speaking yet..." Nangong Jinzhi shouted behind, but only the back of Su Mu's green shirt was left.

He stamped his feet in place with hatred, but still failed to let Su Mu stay. A flash of light flashed in his eyes and said to the maid, "Alas. The poor princess has suffered for so many days, but no one is willing to listen. Alas, did you say that you were shocked when you heard the crying from Lanxin Pavilion late at night last time? Later, I heard that the voice was our princess? What do you think is going on? Is the princess so sad?

Su Mu's back was stunned for a moment, but suddenly, it disappeared and completely disappeared from sight. But he couldn't calm down for a long time, and the smoke was strong in his eyes. It's just that sad people may not appear on the surface, and several people know the pain in their hearts.

"Let's go and see the princess." Nangong Jinzhi stared at Su Mu's departure back, with an imperceptible smile on the corners of his mouth. His red lips were enchanting, but the words he spit out were not so pure. If you are used and hurt, it's not just yourself.

After Su Mu left, Lan Ruoyan returned to the house. Biyun and Biyou stood behind Lan Ruoyan left and right, looking at her worriedly.

"Mother, are you all right?" Biyun is more mature than Biyou. What is in Lan Ruoyan's heart? She has to guess. It's just that she is just a maid. She is not qualified to say anything. She just wants to share some of her worries.

"It's okay. It's time for lunch. What are you going to eat today? Lan Ruoyan put away her thoughtless eyes, cheered up, and asked with a smile. In the face of Biyun's shrewdness, she was worried about what she saw and told her father at that time, which made him worried. The sweet burden is also tiring.

"Mother..." Without finishing her words, she only heard a sentence, "Princess Ye is here!"

Lan Ruoyan heard the rumor outside the door and sat on the top. In these days, Liwei has almost stood up. Think about it, these people should be afraid of themselves and restrain themselves. However, she is not worried. With Biyun and Biyou, two helpers, even if she wants to do something, she has a way to rectify it.

"I want to see the princess." Nangong Jinzhi came in a graceful posture and asked for peace in a regular manner.

"Free gift, blue clouds, tea." Lan Ruoyan said with a suitable smile and greeted Biyun for tea. She is the imperial concubine, and the concubine should be treated with courtesy, and today Nangong Jinzhi seems to have restrained a lot, but she is not as bad as when she was seen in the past.

"Thank you, Princess." Nangong Jinzhi took the tea and took a fine sip.

"Is my sister here to comfort you today?" Lan Ruoyan looked at her and asked in a low voice. As the saying goes, Nangong Jinzhi has been bedridden since she was poisoned last time. Later, she recovered quite quickly. Now she can go to the ground and immediately run here. She doesn't think it's a request, but she still needs to ask.

"My concubine came here today for two things, one is to ask my mother's help, and the other is to ask my mother for help." Nangong Jinzhi made a very embarrassed expression and looked quite sincere.

"Oh." Lan Ruoyan was quite curious. Did the sun come out from the west and she actually came to beg her? However, thinking of her domineering appearance in the past, she couldn't help sarcasm, "My sister is really shrewd and labor-saving. She will do two things at once."

"My mother-in-law praised it." Nangong Jinzhi clenched her fingertips. For the next thing, she had to calm down. "Mother, my concubine really has something important to ask for. Please help me with this..."

"My sister is so polite. You are the side concubine of King Chen's Mansion. This palace should take care of you. What's the matter? My sister says it's okay." Anyway, it's her own business, Lan Ruoyan said, and she would like to see what tricks Nangong Jinzhi has.

"Well, I heard that the incense of Fahua Temple is the most effective. I want to burn incense there, but I just heard that... I want people in the family to go to seek talents." Nangong Jinzhi hesitated to answer.

"Oh? Did you say that?" Lan Ruoyan looked at Biyun, who nodded, and then looked at Nangong Jinzhi and said, "If that's the case, it seems that I should accompany my sister, but what is my sister going to ask for?"

Nangong Jinzhi didn't expect Lan Ruoyan to ask so much, and casually answered, "Peace."

"Ha ha... That's a joke. My sister didn't do anything unreasonable. How can she ask for this peace?" Lan Ruoyan smiled plainly, but his eyes were sarcastic.

"Burning incense is just to show sincerity, and my concubine just went there. If the Empress doesn't want to go, that's fine." Nangong Jinzhi's patience is also limited. She got up and was about to leave.

"Wh! Sister, don't be in a hurry to leave. I didn't say that I would not go with my sister. Lan Ruoyan suddenly stopped her and was willing to accompany Nangong Jinzhi. First, Lan Ruoyan wanted to go out for a walk to breathe, and second, she wanted to see the blue plum blossom again. I don't know if it had fallen.

I met Xuanyuanzhi there last time and also argued with Xuanyuanchen. It is also full of her memories, so the revisit should be able to evoke more thoughts.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. My concubine invited someone to drive through tomorrow is a good day to burn incense. Why don't you go tomorrow?" Seeing that Lan Ruoyan agreed, Nangong Jinzhi was happy and continued to say with a smile.

"There's nothing to do tomorrow, just tomorrow." Lan Ruoyan nodded.

Seeing that Lan Ruoyan agreed, Nangong Jinzhi knew that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, so he exchanged a few words and asked to retreat.

As soon as Nangong Jinzhi left, Biyun asked Lan Ruoyan puzzledly, "The Empress has always avoided Concubine Ye. Today, Concubine Ye invited her. Why did grandma allow her to accompany her again?"

"Ye Fei is so tricky, but there is no way to avoid her all the time." Lan Ruoyan looked at the position where Nangong Jinzhi had just sat. "The Nangong family is like a hundred-legged insects dead but not stiff. They are interlocked and move their whole body with one hair. If you want to completely destroy them, you can only break them one by one without any sound. And in front of him, Nangong Jinzhi is the one. If he blindly avoids her, it will let her take the lead.

"Is that what you think--" Biyun listened and asked in surprise.

Lang Ruoyan made a booing gesture, and her eyes signaled to the figure that flashed outside. Biyun immediately silenced. When Biyou ran out to see and said that it was okay, she continued to say, "It seems that there are still many places in this royal palace that we can't see."

"Mother, if you want to deal with Concubine Ye, you should be careful. If you need a maidservant, you must tell the maidservant." Biyun knelt down on one knee and said earnestly.

"Of course I have to tell you, otherwise I dare not go alone. Ha ha..." Lan Ruo smiled furily.

"It's a blessing for my maidservants to trust me so much." Biyou also knelt down with one knee.

"Well, there are no special instructions for you." Lan Ruoyan smiled, "As long as I don't go to Fahua Temple with my palace tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Biyun Biyou looked at her in surprise.

"You should make others feel that you have been in Lanxin Pavilion, even the prince." Lan Ruoyan whispered, with deep majesty in her eyes. This convinced Biyun Biyou more and more. They understood the meaning of her words and nodded and went away.

The next morning, Lan Ruoyan dressed up early and met Nangong Jinzhi at the gate. Seeing that Biyun Biyou did not follow, Nangong Jinzhi asked strangely, "Where are the two maids of the Empress?"

"If they can do it, let them stay in the house to take care of some trivial things. It doesn't have to be too much to go to Fahua Temple for only one day." Lan Ruoyan smiled modestly, and she would not miss the fluke that flashed in Nangong Jinzhi's eyes. Do you really have any intention? Then let me see your methods!
