The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

A phantom flashed in the formation.

The phantom gradually became clear, and an alluring face came into Gu Mengyin's eyes.

In all these years, she has never seen such a beautiful woman.

Gu Mengyin deepened the formation and discovered that it was a soul, but this soul had no soul consciousness at all.

King Xiaoyao collected so many yin objects and condensed so much yin energy just to nourish this living soul?

Who is this person?

Gu Mengyin took out the drawing paper and copied the appearance of the living soul.

That night, after dinner.

Gu Mengyin took out the drawing paper and handed it to Gu Jiancheng, "Have you seen the people in the portrait?"

Gu Jiancheng recognized the drawing at a glance after taking it. After all, Gu Mengyin's reproduction was very vivid.

"It's the imperial concubine."

"kindness?"

Gu Jiancheng explained: "She was the biological mother of King Ling, the imperial concubine. However, the imperial concubine died of illness when King Ling was ten years old. At that time, the emperor was so sad that he was unable to go to court early. King Ling was also too sad to be in Xijing. Wait, go directly to the border to join the army."

Gu Mengyin suddenly realized, no wonder she felt familiar when the phantom appeared. It turned out that she was Bai Ning's mother. It seemed that Bai Ning inherited most of the essence of the imperial concubine. No wonder she was fascinated by her.

"Where did aunt get the portrait of the imperial concubine?"

Gu Mengyin thought for a while but did not say anything. This matter was likely to involve royal secrets. The less they knew, the safer they would be.

……

Night falls.

Outside Beijing, a team moved quickly on the official road leading to Chongxiao Mountain. Before dark, they arrived at the foot of Chongxiao Mountain.

Lin Fan frowned as he looked at the darkening sky. He could only find a place to stay at the foot of the mountain tonight.

"You two go to the front and see if there's anywhere to stay."

"Yes."

Soon, the people who went to explore the road came back on horseback.

"Mr. Lin, my subordinates found an abandoned village in front of them. The houses in the village are relatively intact. There is no problem in staying here for one night."

Lin Fan nodded and led the team towards the village in front.

The village is located at the foot of a mountain, and it was already dark when they arrived.

The village was so quiet in the darkness that only the sound of their horses' hooves could be heard.

The guard chose the most spacious farmhouse and tidied it up.

"My lord, here we are."

Lin Fan got on the carriage and pushed Yan Linyuan off the carriage.

His dark eyes almost blended into the thick night, and he glanced around before entering the main room.

"In the middle of the night, in the dew, my subordinates asked them to boil some hot water for the prince to take away the cold."

Yan Linyuan nodded and looked at the farmhouse silently.

This farmhouse was built with blue bricks. Judging from the color of the blue bricks, they were still very new. Even the tables, chairs and benches had no paint peeling off.

Although the appliances in the house are all available, they are not very good, which shows that the family situation of the people who lived in the farmhouse before can only be described as passable.

But judging from the dust on the ground, no one has been here for a long time.

Yan Linyuan recalled that there had been no serious disasters in this generation for at least half a year. If there were no disasters, there would be no possibility of escape. So what was the reason for the entire village to leave without even leaving their homes?

Lin Fan entered the house with hot water and muttered: "It's strange, there are dried meals in the pot in the kitchen, there is enough firewood and everything, everything is in order, but the person is missing. "

Yan Linyuan took a sip of hot water.

"Choose a few horoscopes and put them on Aizhu, and go to the village to see what's going on."

"Yes."

Yan Linyuan lowered his eyes and gently stroked the golden bell in his hand, not knowing what she was doing.

At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the emperor suddenly called him and asked him to go to Baihe Temple to personally pick up something for him. When he left, he didn't have time to say anything to her. Lin Fan said that she went to see him specially and didn't know what to say to him.

Thinking of this, Prince Ling suddenly wanted to go back to Beijing to find out what happened.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates and others have patrolled the village and found nothing unusual. No one has been found in the village for the time being."

"Well, back off."

"Yes."

As the night progressed, Lin Fan divided the people he brought into four groups just in case, one group guarded the entrance, one group guarded around the courtyard, and another group patrolled the village. The rest could be rested at any time. Rotate.

After Yan Linyuan rested, Lin Fan led the patrol team and walked in the village.

I don't know if it was because of the late night, but Lin Fan got colder and colder as he walked away.

He tightened the robe around him, secretly feeling lucky enough to keep himself warm.

"Help, someone help me."

An old cry for help suddenly came from the darkness, and several people quickly stopped.

"Sir, there seems to be someone in front of you."

"Go and have a look."

"Yes."

The guard drew his sword and walked forward with a lantern.

After walking into a pile of weeds, I found an old lady lying on the grass with blood on one leg.

"My lord, she is an old lady."

Lin Fan asked them to help the old lady out.

"Oh, thank you so much. If you hadn't come, I don't know what I would have done."

The old lady was filled with gratitude.

Lin Fan did not lower his guard, "Old man, are you from this village?"

"Yes, I live at the end of the village."

"Are you the only one left in this village?"

The old lady sighed, "Yeah, I'm the only one left. Hey, you don't know. A caravan passed by here earlier and said that they found gold sand in the river ahead. Everyone in the village believed it. , I was afraid that the golden sand would be stolen by others if I arrived late, so I ran away with the caravan even if I didn’t want my family.”

Lin Fan frowned when he heard this, "Where is there any gold mining around here?"

"Yeah, I've lived here for so many years and I've never heard of it, but no one listens to me. Those people never came back. I don't know if they got rich outside and don't like this col. Aoluo."

"Oh, my legs hurt so much."

Lin Fan said: "I'll take you back, and you guys will continue patrolling."

"Yes."

Lin Fan helped the old lady walk toward the end of the village. Only halfway through, the crescent moon hanging in the sky was covered by dark clouds.

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of what Gu Mengyin had said to him.

He subconsciously glanced at the old lady. The old lady was warm and panting. She shouldn't be a monster, right?

Vaguely, Lin Fan saw a small house not far ahead.

"It's just ahead."

Lin Fan helped her in, and the old lady tremblingly lit the lamp.

Lin Fan took a look at the situation inside the house and felt relieved that it indeed seemed to be occupied by someone.

"Old man, please rest first, I have someone else to leave first."

"Hey, you've already come, why are you leaving?"

The surrounding temperature plummeted.

Lin Fan's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated. He turned around suddenly and saw the old lady looking at him with a pale face.
