Chapter 109 Ashamed
Wu Song paused for a moment, then looked at Zhuo Ran quietly, the end of the man's eyes turned red, he seemed to feel that if he said it, the man's tears would not be able to hold back.

Zhuo Ran glanced at him sideways, forced a smile, and said, "Tell me, I just want to know if Master has left any words..."

Wu Song's hand holding the candied haws hung down, Zhuo Ran stepped forward and said, "Don't be nervous, we'll talk as we walk..."

"At that time..." Wu Song followed Zhuo Ran and said, "Chang Yinyu asked me to find Concubine Yan, but she took me to the side hall of the Pilgrimage Hall, and I saw... Taifu Han..."

Zhuo Ran didn't bring that jade pendant when he went out, presumably Chang Yinyu felt something was wrong, so he went to ask Yan Qingyao for help.

Zhuo Ran's fingertips holding the candied haws were sweating, and she listened quietly to Wu Song.

"Han Taifu said that he will not be the one to support His Majesty. He chose Sir Si Ye to take back the country for Emperor Nanhuan. It's just that he didn't teach Sir well. It's his fault. Your Majesty should not punish Si Ye for him. grown ups……"

Zhuo Ran's footsteps didn't stop, except for the undetectable trembling, Wu Song felt that she seemed very calm.

"Teacher also said a poem..."

Wu Song thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Si Ye, I can't remember clearly. I'll write it down for you when I get back, okay?"

"Hmm..." Zhuo Ran nodded heavily, and said, "And then..."

Wu Song bit his lip and said: "Teacher Han asked for poisonous wine, and said that he would have no regrets in this life, so..."

Zhuo Ran stopped abruptly, Wu Song almost ran into him without paying attention, he didn't dare to touch Zhuo Ran, and moved to Zhuo Ran step by step, but Zhuo Ran didn't shed tears, but his face was a little pale, and his eyes were completely red up.

"I..." Wu Song knew that he was in trouble, and he couldn't eat candied haws anymore, so he just looked at Zhuo Ran, but he couldn't see the person's emotions, but he knew that Zhuo Ran was sad.

"I'm fine," Zhuo Ran lowered his head and took a bite of candied haws, and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping..."

There was sweetness in his mouth, Zhuo Ran used the sweetness to suppress the bitter water coming up from his throat, although his face was calm, but he couldn't control his slightly trembling hands, which was enough to expose everything.

The two of them didn't talk any more along the way, and Wu Song knew that he shouldn't listen to Zhuo Ran's telling her, but he couldn't help it, and it was sad to say it, even if Zhuo Ran guessed it.

Zhuo Ran lowered his head and swallowed the candied haws, and endured the soreness in his heart for a long time, nothing but flooding.Zhuo Ran trembled with Qingliu in his eyes, and was about to raise his eyes to see the road in front of him clearly, but was directly bumped into by a person rushing towards him, and immediately took a few steps backwards unsteadily.

Wu Song held onto Zhuo Ran's arm with quick eyes and hands, and after several people stood still, Zhuo Ran broke away from the thoughts just now.

"Father! I told you not to chase me. Look, I bumped into someone." The woman turned her back and yelled at the person behind her, with a bit of playfulness and blame in her voice.

The wound on Zhuo Ran's back hurt from the bump, she frowned and looked at the person in front of her.

Zhuo Ran had seen women's dresses when she was a child. The skirts only reached her knees, and they were irregular. The overall color was not uniform. From the shoulders to the waist, there were strings of small bells, and even the sleeves were trumpet-shaped.

It is the dress of Southern Xinjiang.

The woman hurried over to support Zhuo Ran, and frowned as soon as she opened her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Zhuo Ran pulled out her arm and said softly, "It's okay."

"I'm really sorry," the woman's father also frowned, showing his white teeth, and said, "You..."

"Don't move." The woman grabbed Zhuo Ran's wrist, touched her pulse with three fingers, and frowned.

"Mu Heng..." The man leaned over to look at his daughter, and said, "What are you doing, are you taking a pulse on the street?"

The woman named Mu Heng rolled her eyes and said, "You are younger than me, why is your body so weak?"

Zhuo Ran subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Mu Heng held her tightly to prevent her from moving.

"You child..." The man patted her on the head and said, "Your mother is still waiting for us, why don't you invite this girl to sit in the inn for a while?"

"The inn?" Zhuo Ran smiled when she heard the words, remembering that Ou Li mentioned that they were coming back today, she said, "You must be Aunt Ou's daughter."

Mu Heng let go of Zhuo Ran, and tilted his head to look at her: "Do you recognize my mother?"

A quarter of an hour later, Ou Li brought the food with a smile, while Mu Heng was still holding on to Zhuo Ran's wrist.

"Mu Cheng, what are you doing sitting there?" Ou Li glared at Mr. Xiang, and said, "Come and help."

Mu Cheng lifted his clothes and walked over, took Ou Li's arm into the back kitchen, and said, "Where did you find such a girl?"

"She and her younger brother escaped." Ou Li sighed and said, "The child is still injured. When Mu Heng came back, I will help the girl to take a good look. What did your daughter do and how she behaved?" Hit someone?"

"Your daughter doesn't look at the road when she walks. I chased her and scolded her all the way. Once she entered Suicheng, she went on a rampage." Mu Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "You discipline her, I won't interfere."

Ou Li sneered and said, "You are the only one who can blow."

"By the way, is Master okay?"

Mu Cheng nodded and said, "He is in good spirits. He is very good. He said that Mu Heng has made great progress. You can use your daughter to open a pharmacy to earn a fortune."

Ou Li bumped Mu Cheng with his elbow.

Wu Song kept staring at Mu Heng's expression, Zhuo Ran smiled slightly and said, "Have you studied medicine?"

Mu Heng nodded and said, "I've been in elementary school, but I didn't learn well."

Wu Song gently pulled Zhuo Ran's sleeve and said, "Sister, she looks like everything..."

"Nothing?" Mu Heng stared at Wu Song, and said, "Let me tell you, your sister is vain inside, and she looks fine on the surface, but if she drags on, it will really be too late."

Wu Song looked at Zhuo Ran, but Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Look what I'm doing?"

Wu Song shook his head.

"Forget it, you come upstairs with me!" Mu Heng stretched out his hand to pull Zhuo Ran up the stairs, knocked on the door as soon as he entered the room, and looked at her with his pile of things in his arms.

Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes and smiled, "What are you doing?"

Mu Heng tilted his head and said, "The injury on your back hasn't healed, has it?"

"Do you have a cure?" Zhuo Ran sat down on the side of the bed and said, "You didn't finish what you just said."

Mu Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't finish. When my father and I went back to Suicheng, we heard news from Gaodu that Zhuo Siye Zhuoran had passed away."

Zhuo Ran looked up at her. Mu Heng looked harmless to humans and animals. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know I'm Zhuo Ran?"

"Of course I remember the person in the portrait." Mu Heng put the things in his arms on the table and said, "Actually, you are quite good-looking. It would be a pity if you really died."

Zhuo Ran was amused by these words, and said, "I guess you don't know why His Majesty declared me dead?"

Mu Heng took out a few bottles and cans, cleaned them for a long time, and then said, "Why do I need to know, seeing that you are in pain, shouldn't my first reaction be to save you? How can I think so much."

Zhuo Ran looked at Mu Heng, her temperament was free and easy, and she spoke without restraint. She was a real person, not to mention whether the medical skills were real, but Zhuo Ran liked her personality.

"I found a problem just now when I took your pulse." Mu Heng came to Zhuo Ran with the ointment in his hand, frowned and said, "You..."

When Zhuo Ran smelled the smell of herbs, she wanted to hide back, saying, "What's wrong with me..."

"...Your hands are so white and beautiful!" Mu Heng laughed happily and said, "I like you very much."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, and said, "Did you say that to everyone you liked?"

Mu Heng nodded: "Yes."

Zhuo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not surprising."

Mu Heng tilted his head and said, "Let me apply the medicine for you, I guarantee you will be healed in a few days!"

Zhuo Ran frowned looking at the dark green ointment.

***
Yin three quarters.

Outside the pilgrimage hall, everyone lowered their footsteps, and Habayashi guarded outside the hall all night, not daring to sleep at all, for fear that someone would disturb Emperor Chongwen's rest in the hall.

"Concubine Lan." Yan Qingyao gently woke up Ye Lanyi, who was lying beside Chushi Yu's couch, and said softly: "Go back and rest first, your majesty's medicine is ready, I will feed him, and I will guard here on."

Ye Lanyi rubbed her eyes, looked at the accompanying attendants, and said, "Is it so early?"

Yan Qingyao helped her up and said, "Yes, go and rest quickly, don't burn yourself out."

"Where's Boye?" Ye Lanyi stretched out her hand and rubbed her waist, and said, "Don't guard him when he's asleep, you can't be used to it."

Yan Qingyao smiled and said, "Dong Zhu and Xia Qiong are still guarding, you go back first."

Ye Lanyi nodded and said, "I'll go prepare some food for you."

Ye Lanyi took the cloak hanging from the hanger, and as soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she saw someone guarding there, the lights were dim at night, Ye Lanyi was startled by the man's shadow, and managed to stay still.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Lanyi knew who it was as soon as the man opened his mouth.

She wrapped her cloak tightly, and said, "It's so late, has Eunuch Yuan Lu never gone back or stayed here all the time?"

Yuan Lu lowered his voice, and said: "This servant has always been worried about His Majesty's safety, so she has been staying here and never left..."

Ye Lanyi couldn't see his face clearly, and said: "Don't stay here from now on, it's enough for me and the imperial concubine to be here."

"Yes..." Yuan Lu bowed and saluted.

Ye Lanyi took two steps and suddenly felt something was wrong.Yuan Lu shouldn't have spoken in this tone, she turned back abruptly, but Yuan Lu took a step ahead of her and put the dagger on Ye Lanyi's neck.

The black-and-white Habayashi Wei couldn't figure out the situation. Ye Lanyi held back her panic and didn't make a sound. Yuan Lu moved the blade closer and whispered in her ear, "As long as Lady Lan is obedient, our family will not hurt you. your……"

Ye Lanyi thought of the palace man who followed Yan Qingyao, and suddenly felt cold, the medicine was poisonous!

"Come on, escort!" Ye Lanyi roared, and immediately attracted a group of Habayashi guards.

The torches were shining on Ye Lanyi and Yuan Lu, Yuan Lu couldn't help but panic when he saw so many people surrounding him, his legs couldn't stop shaking.

"Go in! Don't let Your Majesty drink the medicine!" Ye Lanyi firmly grasped Yuanlu's hand, and half of the guards from the Yubayashi broke into the pilgrimage hall directly. After a while, Chu Shiyu and Yan Qingyao stepped out together.

The attendant who brought the medicine was subdued. Chu Shiyu stared at Yuanlu and said, "It turns out that you were the one who gave me the medicine. Sure enough, you are Li Chengru's man..."

Yuan Lu didn't answer, but slowly stabbed the blade into Ye Lanyi's neck, Ye Lanyi frowned, the pain on the neck became more and more obvious, Chu Shiyu's eyes widened.

Yan Qingyao frowned: "You dare to hurt Concubine Lan, I want your life!"

The corner of Yuanlu's mouth smiled slightly, put his other hand on his mouth and whistled, and then a group of people rushed out from the palace wall.

Before Yubayashi Wei could react, Yuan Lu let go of the dagger, and pushed Ye Lanyi out with a palm. The group of people came to protect Yuan Lu, and retreated after taking them away.

Chu Shiyu said sharply: "Catch these people for me, not one will be left behind!"

Yan Qingyao quickly helped Ye Lanyi up, looked carefully at her neck, and said, "Fortunately, the wound is not deep..."

"Your Majesty, that medicine..." Ye Lanyi frowned, Yan Qingyao helped her to Chu Shiyu's side, and said, "Now, arrest Li Chengru and Yuanlu immediately!"

Chu Shiyu stroked her cheek and said, "Don't worry, I didn't drink."

Yan Qingyao frowned, her pupils dilated suddenly, and said, "It's no good, Boye is still in the bedroom!"

When a few people arrived, the whole house was drugged and drugged, and Chu Yun had long since disappeared.

Ye Lanyi picked up a basin of water and directly splashed Dong Zhu and Xia Qiong awake. The two of them were stunned for a long time after waking up, and then responded that Chu Yun was taken away!

Chu Shiyu pointed to Habayashi Wei and said: "Immediately seal the palace gate, they will never escape, let me chase them!"

Yan Qingyao squeezed the chins of the two of them with each hand, and said, "I told you to look at the little prince, is that what you think? Do you want this head?"

Ye Lanyi gasped for a few quick breaths, Chu Shiyu stretched out his arms to hug her tightly, but heard her say: "The imperial concubine, don't anger them, if Li Cheng came prepared, those people may not have gone far, don't lose your troops and lose your generals."

"Please figure it out!" Yan Qingyao turned around and said, "It was your child who was lost! Aren't you worried at all, mother? If he is killed and sold by Li Chengru, where will you find him?"

Ye Lanyi closed her eyes.

Chu Shiyu sighed, and said: "Li Chengru dare not touch Boye. Since he didn't make a move here, it means that Boye is useful to him, and maybe it is a sharp weapon to threaten me. I will think of a way..."

Yan Qingyao licked the corners of her lips and said, "What did Li Chengru do, don't you need your concubine to tell His Majesty? If..."

"No ifs!" Chu Shiyu said, "I won't let what ifs happen, and definitely won't..."

"Let's treat Concubine Lan's wound first." Chu Shiyu stepped out of the bedroom and said, "I will find a way..."

***
At the beginning of the day, Shiyu issued an arrest warrant, Wu Xiuting and Xiong Zhenghao led everyone to block the streets and alleys of Gaodu to search for people, Yan Chengxuan was not idle, followed Liu Yulin to put down what he was doing, and tried every means to catch Li Chengru.

"The assassins who appeared at Lian Yue's school at that time are probably Li Chengru's group." Liu Yulin flipped through the notebook that Tian Wuruo handed over last night, and said, "It's just that these people are all masters, where did he find them? "

Yan Chengxuan thought for a while, and said: "When he took the imperial city back then, it was inevitable that some of the fish that slipped through the net were taken under his command. After all these years, he wants to train private soldiers, which is not difficult to do."

Liu Yulin nodded when he heard the words, and said: "The palace is heavily guarded, and the Habayashi guards are guarding His Majesty all night. There are so many people in the palace. How could Concubine Lan get hurt and lose the prince?"

Yan Chengxuan buried his head and looked at the map around Gaodu, and said: "Three o'clock in Yinshi, this time is well chosen, and I was sleepy at that time, who would have thought that Li Chengru would launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night? But I really didn't expect that Yuanlu, He actually learned how to beat others and hand over his life directly to Li Chengru?"

"Anyway, he calls Li Chengru a father," Liu Yulin said: "How many things he has done with Li Chengru, if Li Chengru is exposed, how long will he live? He will die sooner or later, so it's better to gamble."

"You're right." Yan Chengxuan pointed his fingertips in the direction of Los Angeles.

Liu Yulin turned his head to look at him, and saw him pick up a pen to draw a circle, and said, "Luocheng? What are you doing?"

Yan Chengxuan thought for a moment, crossed the circle again, frowned and said, "No accident, he has already left Gaodu. In fact, according to his usual thinking, he will definitely go to Luocheng, after all, there are bandits there." He can still use them as a cover to take the opportunity to hide for a while."

"But..." Liu Yulin looked southwest along the direction of the map, and said, "He may not really go to Los Angeles, he will go to the most unlikely place..."

Yan Chengxuan looked at the direction Liu Yulin was pointing at and collected himself.

Before Wu Lianyi went out early in the morning, Luanying had already arrived at the gate of the mansion to meet her.

"Is it so early?" Wu Lianyi frowned slightly, and said, "Er Shao Yan is so interested in my wife?"

After Rouge met Wu Xiuting, she started a big change.In the past, Wu Lianyi married Rouge, but it was just an expedient measure, or it was not a tricky approach at all.Marquis Wu was not optimistic about Wu Lianyi, he felt that he was not as good as Wu Xiuting, and he just didn't deserve his appreciation, so Wu Lianyi simply became this bad guy, his notoriety was confirmed, and he didn't feel so sad and inferior.

Rouge's pregnancy was beginning to appear, and the whole person looked a lot rounder.Wu Lianyi didn't touch her, but he didn't take his eyes off her, watching the person walk out.

"Come back earlier." Wu Lianyi glanced at Yanzhi and said, "I have something to tell you later."

Yan Zhi nodded, watched Wu Lianyi turn around and enter the gate of the mansion, and bowed slightly.

Luanying followed her for a salute, smiling, and said, "Girl, it's still the old rules."

"I know." Yanzhi brushed Luanying's shoulder, and said as she walked, "It's just that the second young master probably wants to investigate Li Chengru's affairs now, I wonder if I can help."

Luanying followed her and said, "Let's wait for the second young master to talk to the girl in person. After all, the young lady is the friend that the second young master really wants to make."

Rouge lowered her eyes and smiled, the belt around her waist was loosely wrapped around, she put her hand lightly on the warmth of her lower abdomen, and said, "Really? I thought the second young master was because I was treated as a former princess before." What do you want to get out of me."

"But it turns out that the girl is not..." Luanying slowed down, she raised her eyes to Yanzhi, and said, "Besides, isn't this matter already changed?"

Rouge blinked and said, "You mean the dead Zhuo Siye?"

Luanying didn't reply.

"Heh..." Yanzhi couldn't help laughing, she covered her lips and smiled, and said, "Regardless of whether there is Zhuo Siye or not, I should be the one to settle this matter in the end."

Luanying followed her closely.
