Qingchuan History

Chapter 930 Night Owl
The moonlight was blocked by the high wall, and Shangguan concubine stared at Ruan Xueyin's face in the darkness. "No." She shook her head, "It's impossible for you to follow all the two prescriptions I gave so quickly. You can't cure him. So you won't kill me."

Ruan Xueyin agreed with her eyes.

"Do you want to plead guilty?" Shangguan asked again.Her mind was in a mess, trying to find clues everywhere.

"No comment." Ruan Xueyin floated back, "Are you going or not?"

There are really no guards in front of Jizhao Pavilion.None.

Shangguan concubine followed Ruan Xueyin's footsteps and felt her legs getting heavier and heavier. The wind suddenly blew up in the midsummer night when there was no wind, and the tall trees around her rattled and rattled.

This imperial palace is really big, and the layout is extremely winding. It seems that there are night owls howling amidst the wind shaking and the trees moving.Is there a night owl in Qi Palace?Shangguan concubine tried her best to recall the short period of two years she lived here, and she definitely never heard of it.

His legs were so heavy that he could hardly walk, and the blue stone gate of Jizhao Pavilion was already in front of him.She simply stopped and waited to see how Ruan Xueyin would open the door.

It was just fine if she didn't follow, because Ruan Xueyin wasn't sure of a success either.

Gu Xinglang taught her, but he never tried it; her strength is much weaker than his, even if she stepped on the right position, she might not be able to open the door due to lack of strength.

Ridiculous is ridiculous.She really felt it was ridiculous, but her expression was solemn. She saw the blue bricks of different widths and shapes on the stone steps clearly, looked at them three times and counted them three times, confirmed all the positions, raised her right foot, and stepped heavily on the first brick. .

She stepped too hard, and the sound of the wind and trees was too loud, covering the sound deep in the bluestone.But that brick really seemed to have sunk, she wasn't sure, she wanted to step back to have a look and then remembered Gu Xinglang's exuberant words.

Then, taking advantage of the loud noise in the middle of the night, she continued to step on it, and when she finished the last step and stood in front of the stone gate, her heartbeat was also very fast.

The gap in the Qingshi Gate suddenly appeared, but it was not visible at first because of the darkness inside.

But Shangguan concubine heard that sound, and it was mixed into other sounds in the middle of the night, like the drum of fate, rumbling and beating the heart.

She raised her extremely heavy legs, and followed Ruan Xueyin in.

The moon is high in the sky, unchanged for thousands of years, profit and loss are silent, one period and one period.

The lights in Chengze Hall were already dimmed, and Gu Xinglang was lying alone on the phoenix couch, listening to the sound of the wind as if it was coming from a distant place, he couldn't close his eyes at all.

He just summoned all the palace people in the palace, Enwei and Shi made arrangements for tomorrow, making sure that they all understood and would strictly abide by it, before going back to the palace to sleep.

The child is about to pass, and it is already fifteen.At this moment last year, Ruan Xueyin whispered auspicious birthday music in his ear.

The sound is still in my ears, no matter when I think about it, I still have something to say.

light snow.He sighed in his heart, thousands of separated emotions rose up and fell down, and finally turned into a relief with no regrets.

Ruan Xueyin walked forward amidst loud noises on a full moon night.

Thousands of horses are galloping, goshawks, orioles, praying mantises and cicadas, the walls are full of crazy poems written in water, and the green gold of endless summer is particularly eye-catching in the stone room like a cave.

But Shangguan Concubine neither went to Endless Summer nor to Hydrangea.Among the thousands of chaotic flower plants, the lotus is very small, and its petals are bent because of the side branches. It has a strange feeling similar to that of the other shore flower.

"Everything about Endless Summer is a blindfold." Ruan Xueyin said.

"Smart people are most likely to be misunderstood by cleverness. My mother said that the Yuwen royal family, especially the monarch, all like to tease smart people. Because bullying idiots is meaningless, it can't highlight their intelligence."

The fifth stone door opened in response, and the truth was only one step away.

"Are you still not nervous?" Shangguan Concubine asked, she would regret it for the rest of her life if she didn't see Ruan Xueyin lose her composure once.

Ruan Xueyin shook her head.

"Really, did you make it for me?" Shangguan Concubine asked again.

"Actually, we don't care anymore, Heluotu. So I let you in and get it, so I'm really not nervous. But I'm still curious."

The two stood facing each other in front of the fifth door, and from the corner of their eyes, they could already glimpse the light and shade of green and gold inside, as if it was a musical score.

But when Shangguan's concubine didn't move, Ruan Xueyin just stayed with her, and even hoped that she would take the initiative to delay for a while.

"My brother said that he gave Jing Ting Ge a hint. It seems that she didn't tell you."

Ruan Xueyin wasn't sure if it meant Duo Lian, and she didn't want to pursue it even today, "She didn't know it was a reminder about Jizhao Pavilion."

Shangguan concubine was thoughtful, "Indeed."

"Shangguanyan also knows?" The answer to the many levels in Jizhao Pavilion.

"It's the same as me, I only found out later. When the parents are still alive, there is no need to say much. It's a secret. The fewer people who know, the better; when they pass away, they will leave a message and let their children continue."

Yu Wenqi died in Yunshui, and Ruan Xueyin was not there so she didn't see Shangguan's concubine's reaction. She only remembered that when Guan Shuo died earlier in the morning, she was very sad.

It's a different scene from the moment of indifference.

"You accepted it quickly and adapted well. If Xirun had your mind, Qingchuan's situation would change more slowly."

"She's just such a person, don't you know?" Shangguan concubine sneered, pondered for a moment and said: "I'm luckier than her. I have a mother and elder brother who help me grow up. Although it's not too late, I can still do something. She has no one to teach her. There is no one to help, it is too difficult to be a child because it is not such a material. If I were her, I would hate you too, "

Her legs became more sore, she paused in pain, frowned, thinking that she was not so nervous now, what's going on?

Ruan Xueyin saw it clearly, and said, "Indeed."

Shangguan's concubine was cut off from her thoughts and pulled back to the conversation. She frowned and continued: "But in the overall situation, you did a really good job. When future generations write history, it will probably be recognized that the Bai Kingdom died at your hands."

Ruan Xueyin turned around and went to the next stone room.

"Su Wanwan has been playing this piece all the time." Shangguan said behind her, probably because her leg hurts badly, and it sounded like she was gnashing her teeth.

"I haven't finished playing." Ruan Xueyin looked at the wall full of green gold.

"Because my mother didn't teach it all, I gave some after a while, and then she was gone, so the follow-up was cut off, and the ending was missing."

"The end is with you."

Shangguan concubine followed and stood beside her, looking at her. "By the way, how did you confirm the identity of my mother? When the Yin Kingdom fell, she was clearly deceived."

Ruan Xueyin briefly recounted the reasoning and verification in Shuming Palace. "There is also a very small detail, it's nothing to mention alone, but it can support the inference - Su Wanwan only loves the Liuqin and uses it all year round. This piece has never been played only on the Liuqin."

The Yuwen family loves willows. For 200 years, the green willows have been everywhere in Jidu. Later, they were ordered by Gu Yecheng to cut them down, leaving only one tree next to Jizhao Pavilion.

Shangguan's concubine looked complicated, and said for a long time: "I blamed my mother. I blamed her and my father for not bringing me into the game early, so that my brothers and sisters were all fighting for the family and the great cause. I was the only one who looked like a fool--no, really Silly, when you wake up from a dream, you miss too much and fall too far behind.”

She turned to look at Ruan Xueyin, "I really want to win against you. I don't know when, I have set you as my goal and as my opponent. But I have left too much homework."

Ruan Xueyin turned her face away at this sentence, and looked at her, "You won this round. Congratulations."

Shangguan's concubine's confidence has been sinking with the weight of her legs, hearing this, she feels even more confused.

"Please." Ruan Xueyin made a gesture.

Only now does Shangguan understand what it means to be in a dilemma: No matter how you look at it, you should advance and succeed, but every step forward seems to be stepping into an abyss; retreat, let alone be unwilling-this time retreat, what about next time?She always has to go to the end, this is the will of her parents and the reason why she went to Qi Palace for the second time.

The last stone gate opened rumblingly, it was extremely loud and not smooth, it must have been too long, and after a distance that one person can pass, it actually stopped.

They waited for a while to make sure that the doors would not be opened any further. Ruan Xueyin asked:
"Are you going ahead?"

Of course she was here for the first time.Shangguan concubine thought to herself.So I know the situation inside better than her.But why, always afraid of an ambush, dare not go forward?

"You go first." She weighed it up and decided to be cautious.

Ruan Xueyin rushed in immediately, walking extremely fast.Seeing this, Shangguan concubine hurriedly followed, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she had to exert all her strength with every step she took.

And the strength is rapidly dissipating.

The inside of the last door of Jizhao Pavilion is very familiar and shocking.

It is very similar to Yinlin Temple, but it is darker and the space is slightly smaller, but the Buddha statue is larger, occupying the entire north wall from the ground to the zenith, with flowers and smiles in the flickering light and shadow, compassionate to the world.

Ruan Xueyin was overwhelmed by this scene, she had already caught a glimpse of a stack of dim yellow papers on the table in the middle of the corner of her eye, she knew she should take action, but she didn't.

She raised her eyes to look at the Buddha, with tears streaming down her face, clasped her hands together, and prayed sincerely.

In Pengxishan, the teacher never mentioned gods and Buddhas, so that she and Jing Tingge were not believers, and they only knew how to seek themselves when they were in trouble.

Now she has had enough.

If it is for oneself, it will be the end, what is the destiny, acceptance is - she was born alone, coming and going alone, there is not so much to do.

But after she was 20 years old, she suddenly had a love.

There is also obsession, and what you want. If you can't guarantee success by asking yourself, you can only ask for destiny.

She hoped that he, Chao Chao, Ting Ge, and Chun Feng would live a long and fulfilling life.

The movement of Shangguan concubine started and stopped behind her.

Ruan Xueyin opened her eyes, and quickly walked to the case, her eyes quickly grabbed the writing on the paper.

It is a completely unrecognizable character, even weirder than Shui Shu, small and dense, but very neat.

The paper is not paper either, although it has been processed, the veins can still be seen vaguely, like some kind of huge leaves, cut into the shape of paper.

Ruan Xueyin hesitated for a moment, then took out a fire pocket from her sleeve, blew it quickly, and stretched it towards the corner of the stacked leaf paper.

Shangguan Concubine dragged her heavy body as close as she could, staring at Ruan Xueyin's back without blinking.

At first, she thought she was distinguishing those words, but when she gradually saw the smoke, then saw the fire, she was shocked: "What are you doing!"

Ruan Xueyin picked up the stack of leaf papers and turned them upside down, causing the flames to burn faster and fiercer. Finally, Shangguan concubine staggered close enough and rushed towards them. The two of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Shangguan concubine crawled to pick it up, extinguished the fire with her body, and finally gathered more than a dozen broken pages. She lay down and stared at Ruan Xueyin fiercely, "Crazy! You crazy!"

Ruan Xueyin stood up and looked down at her condescendingly, "Do you understand? Tell me?"

"I don't understand, but someone can understand!"

"Shangguan Banquet?"

Shangguan concubine was so angry that she lost her voice, "You backtracked, I will not save Gu Xinglang again! Just let him die with his last breath, let Daqi perish! After all, he has killed few civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty, and the people are in a sea of ​​blood. This dynasty, this country, is doomed!"

"I promised to bring you into the Jizhao Pavilion, and I didn't say I wouldn't burn the Heluo map, so I didn't go back on my word." Ruan Xueyin replied slowly, "I brought you here tonight, and I didn't expect you to save him anymore. Is the Gu dynasty in danger? Exhausted, I don't know, but I'm afraid your vitality will be exhausted."

This passage involved too much, Shangguan was stunned for a long time, Fang murmured:

"You poisoned me?"

Ruan Xueyin's complexion became paler, almost hidden in the dark light and shadow of the stone room. "Aren't you trying to compete with me? Guess for yourself, if you guess right, you haven't lost."

Shangguan concubine was really moved by this remark, she was concentrating on it. "Su Wanwan. During the day. In tea."

Ruan Xueyin nodded, "Look, it's better than before. Why don't you guess the food?"

Shangguan concubine smiled miserably, "I threatened you with Gu Xinglang's life. Although I am sure that you will not take my life because of this, I am still nervous. Today, I didn't have any food at all. That's why I was exhausted just now. I just pretended to be nervous and hungry all day long." Day." Saying this, he still tried secretly to stand up, but it was impossible, "But I have tested the tea, and there is no problem." Then he closed his eyes and inspected carefully, trying to distinguish what kind of poison it was.

"What you can't tell is not the inheritance of the East Palace Medicine Garden." After Ruan Xueyin finished speaking, she felt that it was inaccurate, so she changed her words:

"It should be said that it is not the handwriting of the three mothers and teachers, but it is still the inheritance of the East Palace Medicine Garden, because all the flowers I use are from the medicine garden."

The flowers and plants in Donggong Medicine Garden are all in Pengxi Mountain now.

"You made it?" Shangguan's concubine's face was pale, sweat dripped down, "What's it called?"

"I haven't given a name yet, so you're the first one to use it." Ruan Xueyin thought for a while, "It's past midnight, and it's fifteen, but the moon on the fifteenth is round on the sixteenth, and your boudoir name is also a concubine—it's called Yue. How do you feel about being round?"

Shangguan concubine was sure she was mocking. "Good vision." Not to be outdone, she smiled darkly, "Unfortunately, Your Highness, you can't wait for the full moon. The East Palace Medicine Garden is really like a curse, and everyone related to it, including us, can't wait to see it." A good death."

Following these words, she fell down completely, trying to reach out her hand to continue to protect the broken page of Heluotu, but she couldn't lift her hand anymore.

Ruan Xueyin squatted down and picked up the broken pages one by one.Shangguan concubine watched silently, and asked, "What about Gu Xinglang?"

"Anxianglai and Mingloucui should use the same introduction, and the pulse and signs of the cold syndrome are very similar. It's just that Anxianglai has more fever, and it's more gentle; Mingloucui only has cold syndrome, but it's very mild fierce."

Shangguan was silent for a while. "Mother said that you actually have a chance to unravel the dark fragrance, it just depends on whether you are smart enough. That's what she meant." She laughed again, seeming to be self-deprecating and self-pitying, "Which blind introduction is it, are you sure? "

Ruan Xueyin nodded, "I would also like to thank you for inspiring Ruan Zhong to make those pills when you were in Mianzhou. So I am sure to save his life, both of them." Refers to Gu Xinglang and Ruan Zhong, "It's just a cure ,needs time."

Shangguan concubine really felt exhausted, from body to mind.Lying on her side pressed her arms, so she simply lay down on her back with all her strength. "But you are about to die, so where is the time to continue to study. Oh, he won't let you die, he will probably imprison you, imprison you, put you in limbo, and just have an explanation. Heh, what kind of punishment is this? You are the mistress of Qi Gong, and you will just live in another palace."

She raised her eyelids to look at Ruan Xueyin,

"It's useless. He can only really win if he kills you, otherwise there will be no end. The most mysterious and deadly thing is the return of the world."

Ruan Xueyin rolled up the remaining pages and put them deep inside her dress.

"Don't you want to kill them all for him?" Shangguan concubine sneered, "Why don't they burn it?"

Ruan Xueyin ignored her, cleaned up the ashes on the ground, and carefully looked around the stone room to make sure that there were no omissions. She bowed three times to the huge Buddha statue and walked outside.

"Hello." Shangguan concubine called out weakly.

"I'm going to die here?" There was no answer, she continued to shout.

"It will be disabled. [-]% may die. You try to save yourself." Ruan Xueyin didn't stop, and her voice became farther and farther away. I want to send you out."

Shangguan Concubine didn't understand this, and asked again: "I remember that there is no Ye Xiao in Qi Palace! Did I get it wrong?"

"I let someone let you go!" Ruan Xueyin had already walked through the fourth door, and the trembling voice replied, "You should listen to Ye Xiao tonight!"

Outside Jizhao Pavilion, Ye Xiao was still howling.

The imperial guards have arrived, and they are waiting in the dark night. When they see the queen appear, they bow their heads and wait for orders.

"Go in and lift people out."

　Qingchuan's plot line begins in Donggong Medicine Garden, and I feel a little emotional when I write this chapter.
