Chapter 10: It's not your wish to try the truth

"Oh, you are young and rarely have contact with young men. Occasionally, it is normal to meet someone of similar age, but I still want to tell you one thing. Erhu also has a fiancee in his hometown, and he will marry in two years. Lan Ruoyan is not to hit her, but must be vaccinated with her in advance. Maybe Erhu felt that he was more suitable with Xiaodie and divorced his fiancee.

Xiaodie's hand trembled, and the soup served for Lan Ruoyan was poured out.

"Ah!" Lan Ruoyan's hand was scalded and cried reflexively.

"Mother, damn it! Damn it!" Xiaodie was so scared that she hurriedly retreated and knelt down to plead guilty.

And it happened that Xuanyuanchen came in from the door at this time. As soon as he saw this situation, he shouted angrily, "Little butterfly!"

"Your Majesty..." Xiaodie's voice trembled, and she looked at Xuanyuan Chen in horror.

"Little butterfly! Go and get the medicine for burns and give it to me!" Lan Ruoyan knew that Xiaodie had hit the muzzle of Xuanyuanchen, so she quickly broke away and avoided the limelight.

After Xiaodie withdrew, Xuanyuanchen quickly came over and checked Lan Ruoyan's burn. Looking carefully, it was just a little red and not swollen, so he was relieved, "If you were clumsy, I shouldn't have let her come back to serve you."

"Lord, don't say that. Xiaodie is also careless." Lan Ruoyan hurried to help Xiaodie speak, and what she just said to Xiaodie really stimulated Xiaodie.

"Careless! The life of the master can be lost as long as the slaves are not careful. Yaner, you too, are too kind on weekdays. It makes them all think that you won't be fierce. Xuanyuanchen carefully wiped the stains on Lan Ruoyeng's hands with the cotton cloth sent by his servants, while instructing Lan Ruoyan.

At this time, Lan Ruoyan looked at Xuanyuan Chen and wiped her hands so carefully. A few centimeters away from each other, they could hear each other's breath floating. At this moment, something subtle came out in Lan Ruoyan's heart. She had a faint feeling that he and Xuanyuan Chen only saw what would happen.

"Smoke?" Xuanyuan Chen called Lan Ruoyan, but didn't hear a response, so he turned his head to look at her and looked at her in a daze. He couldn't help frowning and said, "What are you looking at?"

Ah. Nothing." Lan Ruoyan shook her head. She made sense of her mind and looked at Xuanyuanchen and said, "Lin'er came to the house to find me today."

Huh? What's she doing here for you? Xuanyuan asked doubtfully.

"She asked me to help her, don't let her marry Tubo... In addition..." Lan Ruoyan wondered whether she should tell Xuan Yuanchen about her and Xue Baitao. They already have skin relatives, which means that the two have a husband and wife. In ancient times, raw rice and cooked ripe rice can only be married.

"What else?" Xuanyuanchen thought that Xuanyuanlin would come to ask Lan Ruoyan to persuade him. Now everyone in the capital knows that he loves his wife as much as his life. Xuanyuanlin will think of asking Lan Ruoyan to help her, which is normal.

"She has already been with Xue Baitao, who is known as the 'hero sword' in the world." Lan Ruo sighed, "Is it still difficult for lovers to get married in the world?"

"Yan'er, you don't know that Xue Baitao is called 'Hero Sword', but he is actually just a hypocrite. I have found out clearly about Lin's outside, including people related to her, but I have never interfered with her. Xuanyuanchen's face was a little solemn. He clenched his fist, "In my heart, there is a person who is tens of thousands of times better than Xue Baitao."

"Hmm?" Lan Ruoyan doubted, thought carefully and tried to ask, "Is the prince talking about the king of Tibet?"

"Ha ha, those who know me are smoke." Xuanyuanchen smiled when he heard what she said.

With a wry smile, Lan Ruoyan said, "At this time, it's not about you and me, but you said that Lin'er was entrusted with an unhuman and refused to marry Tubo. What should I do now?"

"The king of Tibet came to Xia Qi with his father's sweat when he was young. He had known me for a long time. He once told me that he fell in love with Lin'er at first sight. In fact, I instructed him to eliminate the power of the Nangong family. Xuanyuan Chen said to Lan Ruoyan in a low voice, and expected to see surprise in the opposite aspect.

"Yes, this is tantamount to colluding with foreign countries, but this is just a strategy to attack the east and the west. Xia Qi has a lot of troops to compete with Tubo. The reason why the king of Tibet can capture six cities in a row is that the officials of those cities are all under me. They are just pretending to fight, and the King of Tibet has not hurt many soldiers on our side. Xuanyuan Chen said calmly, and his tone was as if he was stable.

"Although you are confident, please be careful." Xuanyuan Chen's move is really good, but when it comes to safety, it is still lacking, but it can indeed achieve the effect quickly. Eliminating the power of the Nangong family is equivalent to weakening and hollowing out the Empress Dowager. As soon as the Empress Dowager fell, the Wenwu of the whole dynasty met the wind and steered and defected.

"Don't worry, I'm free and measured. Xue Baitao is actually an ambitious man who cheated Lin'er's true feelings, but he was greedy for her status. Xuanyuanchen said gloomily, "It's a pity that I was careless and even let him stain Lin'er's body!"

Lan Ruoyan was surprised and half believed it. Xuanyuanchen knew that she had doubts, so he said to her, "If Liner loses her beauty and status, Xue Baitao will definitely abandon it!" How can I give Lin'er to such a person? Now that he has confused Lin'er, it's time to let Lin'er know what kind of person he is!"

"Does the prince mean to design and try this Xue Baitao?" Lan Ruoyan asked.

Xuanyuanchen nodded, so after the couple agreed, Lan Ruoyan asked someone to invite Xuanyuanlin the next day.

By the saying, Xuanyuanlin heard Lan Ruoyan invite her to come over, thinking that Lan Ruoyan wanted to refuse her request, and when she saw her, she burst into tears again. Lan Ruoyan looked at her like this and felt helpless. Xue Baitao was really good at coaxing women and actually brought such a naive princess like a Lin sister.

"Lin'er, your sister-in-law has figured out a way for you." Lan Ruoyan was too lazy to persuade and said it directly. If Xuanyuanlin wants to hear it, she can hear it no matter how much.

"Really, really?" Xuanyuanlin hurriedly stopped crying and wanted Lan Ruoyan's hand, but was avoided by the other party. Lan Ruoyan was afraid of Xuanyuanlin's strange power. She didn't dare to contact the other party too closely before she changed her seriousness.

Xuanyuanlin felt a little embarrassed and sat down to the opposite side. Lan Ruoyan said to her, "Lin'er, since ancient times, princesses and relatives have chosen beautiful women. In order to attract and deal with it, but if the beauty is not beautiful, the court will naturally not let the princess make peace, because it is an insult.

"Hmm." Xuanyuanlin nodded, thought for a moment, and then said in surprise, "What does the royal sister-in-law mean to let Liner destroy her appearance?"

"It's almost the same, but it doesn't have to be really disfigured. Come on, I specially found a kind of destructive dew. She handed a full-body purple medicine bottle to Xuanyuanlin, "Take this medicine, your facial skin will ulcerate and pus. If you don't take the antidote, it will always be like this.

"As long as you can let me not make peace, anything is fine." Xuanyuanlin didn't think much about it. She opened the bottle stopper and drank all the medicine. Lan Ruoyan was very impressed to see her like this. Xuanyuanlin's affection for Xue Baitao can be seen from this, but I don't know if she is worth it for that person.

"This medicine will work after tonight. Lin'er, you can see it tomorrow morning." Lan Ruoyan smiled and put away the medicine bottle.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, Lin'er just wants to be with her beloved. He said that regardless of my origin and appearance, he treated me wholeheartedly. Because he loves my people, not others. Xuanyuanlin said what Xue Baitao had promised her with a happy smile.

"Then he is really a lover." Lan Ruoyan agreed, but his heart was mixed. If that's true, it would be good, but if not, only Lin'er was injured.

"Brother-in-law, did the royal brother say the same thing to you?" Xuanyuanlin asked.

Shaking his head, Lan Ruoyan said, "You know how your royal brother is. He usually only asks himself to do it and doesn't say what he thinks." She wants to imply that Xuanyuanlin is generally not a good man.

"That's the wrong brother! Since you like your sister-in-law, you should tell you how much he likes you. Xuanyuanlin said solemnly.

"Ha ha... Lin'er, you still don't understand." Love needs to be said, but you also need to be responsible for what you say. Xuanyuan Chen didn't say anything because he was busy with his career and didn't have more energy to deal with himself. When everything calms down, I guess he will have time to fall in love with him.

"Why don't you understand! That's how it is." Xuanyuanlin still adheres to her own opinion.

At this time, there was a cry of "the prince is coming" outside, and Xuanyuanlin was shocked and said, "Oh no! The royal brother is back!"

"Lin'er, don't be afraid." Lan Ruoyan said softly, "Your royal brother heard that you didn't want to make love, so he didn't talk about it anymore."

"Really?" Xuanyuanlin didn't believe it.

"It's true." Lan Ruoyan nodded calmly.

Xuanyuanchen came in and was not surprised to see Xuanyuanlin. He smiled kindly and said, "Why does Lin'er have time to accompany your sister-in-law?"

"What the royal brother said about Lin'er seems to be a busy person." Xuanyuanlin said embarrassedly and stood up to give up the seat to Xuanyuanchen.

"I have heard your sister-in-law talk about you. Since you don't want to make love, it's not good for you to be a brother. Xuanyuanchen did not sit down, but walked to Xuanyuanlin's opposite side and said softly, "I asked your sister-in-law to give you that dew."

"Brother..." Xuanyuanlin was a little uncomfortable facing Xuanyuanchen.

"Lin'er, you can stay in the palace tonight. There will be some pain when the drug attack occurs. I can't rest assured until I keep you." Lan Ruoyan got up and went to Xuanyuanchen and told Xuanyuanlin.

"Well, good." Xuanyuanlin nodded.

"Come on, I'll take you to the wing room." Lan Ruoyan took Xuanyuanlin and asked Xuanyuan to retreat and went out.

Lan Yuxuan takes the meaning of Lan Tianyu's warm sun and smoke. Xuanyuanlin saw it and recited the poem, "Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one column of Si Hua Nian. Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart to support the cuckoo. The pearl of the sea and the moon has tears, and the blue field is warm and the jade smoke..."

"This situation can be remembered, but it was already sad at that time." Lan Ruoyan took her last sentence and said with a gentle smile, "Lin'er, do you like Li Shangyin's poems?"

"It's okay. His poems are always sad." Xuanyuanlin looked at the layout of Lan Yuxuan, which was also elegant. Because Lan Ruoyan had already arranged it, white plum blossoms were also inserted in the room, and the authentic "Eighty-Seven Immortals Scroll" hung by Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty. I saw the women in the painting flying in the sky, as if they were full of paper.

When Lan Ruoyan looked at the painting, she thought that in reality, only royals would have this kind of vigor. She looked sideways at Xuanyuanlin. Although the girl was a princess, she yearned for the sincere feelings of ordinary men and women. Unfortunately, because of the princess's noble status, I'm afraid that her first relationship will only result in self-harm.

After arranging Xuanyuanlin, Lan Ruoyan returned to Lanxin Pavilion. Xiaodie whispered to Lan Ruoyan, "Does the Empress really want to be with the princess and the ronin-laws?"

"Can they be together without the princess, but the future performance of Xue Baitao? Xiaodie, some men's words are heartfelt, and some men's nine of the ten sentences are false. Whether you can distinguish it or not depends on the woman's own. Lan Ruoyan said in a low voice that she was afraid of love, because no one knew who would betray first in the end.

The next morning, Xuanyuanlin's scream came from Lan Yuxuan. After Lan Ruoyan went over to comfort her, Xuanyuanchen came back from being overweight and pretended to Xuanyuanlin that the empress dowager hated the woman, even if her appearance had been destroyed and her body was unclean. He humiliated the royal family, took the position of princess, and demoted him to the common people.

"Well, as long as you can't get married." Xuanyuanlin leaned against Lan Ruoyan's arms and held the quilt. She was scared by her appearance in the mirror. She didn't expect her face to become so terrible.

"Hmm. Lin'er, where are you going after being demoted to a commoner? Lan Ruoyan asked softly.

"I'm going to Baitao..." Xuanyuanlin said with tears. In order to stay with him, she sacrificed not only her identity, but also her appearance and reputation.

"Liner, do you really think that person can be entrusted for life?" Lan Ruoyan asked.

"Imperial sister-in-law? What you said is..." Xuanyuanlin looked at her puzzledly.

"He swore to you. Does he really love you as a person? Have you ever thought that all he likes is your identity and status that can bring him fame and fortune? Lan Ruoyan thought that she might as well speak bluntly to Xuanyuanlin at this time.

"Impossible! Baitao said that no matter what I become, even the daughter of a poor family likes me. Xuanyuanlin doesn't believe that the person she loves deeply will be a person who is greedy for glory and wealth.

"Then let's try to see if he is true or false to you." Lan Ruoyan smiled faintly and said, "I am the only one who has the antidote to destroy the flower dew. As long as there is no antidote, your appearance can't recover. If he is sincere to you and what kind of face you become, he should never leave you.

"Okay! Sister-in-law, I dare to guarantee my life. He is sincere to me!" Xuanyuanlin said solemnly.

Shaking her head, Lan Ruoyan did not quarrel with her more, waiting for her to sort out her shape, put on her hat, and then set out to Xue Baitao's house. Although Xue Baitao is a native of the world, he has led three generations of his family to do business, leaving a lot of industries. He became a famous teacher and learned good martial arts. After that, he took several chivalrous and righteous events in the world, so he got the title of "hero sword".

After sending Xuanyuanlin to Xue's house, Lan Ruoyan also told Xue Baitao, who was kneeling, that Xuanyuanlin had been demoted to a commoner. After saying that, he will not return. In this way, Xue Baitao saw that Xuanyuanlin had no appearance and no status. Naturally, he treated her as bad as before. After taking her back to his house, he placed her in the south wing. At first, he was afraid that she was the empress dowager's daughter and would come back to comfort her. After a while, when she saw that there was no movement in the palace, she thought that the Empress Dowager was not going to recognize this daughter, so she turned a deaf ear to Xuanyuanlin, which was obviously to let her die.

While the iron was hot, Xuanyuanchen also instructed the Huakui Huanqing** Xue Baitao of Xianqiao Tower to redeem him. When she arrived at Xue's house, she made a side room. She deliberately made it difficult to bully Xuanyuanlin, and Xue Baitao only saw the newcomers laughing and didn't listen to the old people crying. Xuanyuanlin was disheartened and had to lean on the column to recite the sentence "This situation can be remembered, but it was already lost at that time."

Zixuanyuanlin has seen Xue Baitao's true face. Lan Ruoyan appeared in front of Xuanyuanlin. They had not seen each other for a few days, but it was as if they had been gone for many years. Xuanyuanlin mourned, "I'm dead to that thin lover..."

After listening to Xuanyuanlin's crying, Lan Ruoyan felt even more disgusted with Xue Baitao. Fortunately, he is still a famous chivalrous man in the world, but in the end, he is a treacherous villain who is greedy for glory and wealth!

"Lin'er, this kind of person is not worth entrusting you for life. Now, it's good to see it clearly. If you see this person clearly after marrying him, I'm afraid you will be regretful. Lan Ruoyan picked up the veil in her hand and handed it to Xuanyuanlin.

"But...but... I'm so kind to him, why did he do this to me?! At the beginning, when he asked me to be with him, I asked him if one day I abandoned my identity as a princess and became a commoner, would he still like me and be with me? At that time, he swore that he liked me not for glory and wealth, but really liked me..." Xuanyuanlin choked, spoke intermittently, and tears seemed to have broken beads. And now looking at my ruined appearance and the identity of the princess, he doesn't care about me. I'm tired of being around a fireworks woman all day, just because of her beauty and amorous feelings... Royal sister-in-law, do you think all men are like this?"

Xuan Yuanlin said incoherently, as if to say full of grievances and regrets, those loves, those obsessions... tears blurred her eyes and blurred her makeup. The little face that is always bright and full of life is full of sadness. The princess born in the royal family is happy and enviable to have such a life. However, she is not ignorant of the scheming in the court. She is escaping. She wants to find another pure land - Jianghu.

But now, her world has made her heart broken, not as beautiful as she imagined. In the court, she yearns for the righteousness in the world, freedom and chivalry in the world, but why is the people she meets like this? Is it those who blindfolded her eyes that they were deceived to this point?!
