last time

Chapter 18
Fu Sisi entered Zuixue Court and told Han Congzhong and Zhou Yu about these things.The three sat in the small pavilion drinking tea, Zhou Yu pushed the teacup to Han Congzhong, and said, "At that time, Lu San had already left Jiyuan Temple, and you asked him to turn back. It is certain that he will die."

Han Congzhong carefully looked at the crack on the teacup, which stretched from the bottom of the cup to the mouth of the cup. He touched the outer edge with his hand and said: "That guy Lu San is usually arrogant and domineering under the influence of Li Chengru, and there are many enemies. It's normal, once they heard that he went to Jiyuan Temple alone, others naturally refused to let him go easily."

"You borrowed this east wind." Zhou Yu tasted the tea, and Fu Sisi quietly brought in some from the outside. The two of them regarded it as a treasure, and took it out every three to five days to taste it.

"Teacher, sir, once Xu Zhen dies this time, the murderer will definitely turn against the opposite party. Xiaqiu is very dangerous." Fu Sisi said, "Even if the matter of Jiyuan Temple can be temporarily put aside, it will still not be peaceful."

Han Congzhong drank the tea and said, "Don't worry, if the girl survives this time safely, the days to come will be easier."

"Is it Ran'er who poisoned you?" Zhou Yu couldn't understand Han Congzhong's words, so he asked, "Did you ask Ran'er to do it?"

Han Congzhong poured another cup of tea, asked about the fragrance of the tea, and said, "So what if it's not Xiaqiu, everyone is pointing the finger at her now, she has to think that she did it herself, so that she can find a way out and save herself. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Zhou Yu sighed: "Ran'er is still a child after all."

"You're still a child at sixteen?" Han Congzhong said suddenly with a stern expression, "She should be calm and calm, and try to give herself a way out, otherwise I will teach her in vain for these four years!"

Zhou Yu said: "Sisi, you are also assisting in the investigation of this matter, please pay more attention to Dian Ran'er."

Fu Sisi nodded.

The rain stopped.

Li Xunchuan strode forward, and when he walked out of Lianhua Lane, no one followed him. He turned his head and stared at Zhuo Ran who was swaying with his head buried, and said, "Why, you became like this after being blackmailed?"

Only then did Zhuo Ran raise her head and stop, far away from Li Yanchuan, she said: "Yong Niang is also pitiful. Kang Sheng'an is a good boy, he will not poison."

"That's natural." Li Yuchuan signaled her to come over, and said, "But I always feel that this poison is strange. I heard that the water was originally arranged for the master, but our master was sympathetic to the students and poured it into the water. I gave it to Kang Sheng'an, and by coincidence, Xu Zhen snatched it."

Zhuo Ran said while walking: "Why do you turn so many turns, you just say that the bowl of water is killing me."

Li Xunchuan smiled: "So you are lucky."

Zhuo Ran didn't speak.For the first time, she felt the hostility of the people around her, no matter who it was, even if she just walked out of the Drunken Snow Garden, even if she didn't want to hurt anyone, even if she knew that she had to use people and suffered all night, These are not enough to offset the hatred of others.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, the person lying in the mound of earth was her.

Li Xunchuan snapped his fingers and said, "Why are you in a daze. Just now you promised Yongniang to give her money."

Zhuo Ran came back to her senses, looked up at Li Yuchuan and said, "I don't have any extra money."

"I have." Li Yuchuan smiled and said, "How about you practicing boxing with Erye tonight, and Erye will make up the money for you?"

Zhuo Ran looked at the sky and said, "The dark clouds won't dissipate, so I won't go. Besides, you are a lady, so naturally I can't climb high."

Li Xunchuan gave a "tsk" and said, "Speaking of ladies, you are no more experienced than me, huh? -- Talented woman from Yongzhou?"

Zhuo Ran raised her lips and smiled: "I don't deserve it. It's getting late, the second master will go back and find some good girls, so I'll take my leave first."

Li Xunchuan walked back alone.

Zhuo Ran got into the alley and walked through several streets before arriving at Wuhualou.

Yan Chengxuan spent his days and nights inside, not paying attention to Xu Zhen's matter at all. He lay in the arms of the beauty, clutching those silks and satins and refused to let go.

As soon as Zhuo Ran entered the door, a girl in a blue dress came up to her, looked it over carefully, and said, "Is it Master Master?"

Zhuo Ran nodded.

"Come, come, the young master is waiting for you up there."

She led Zhuo Ran into the wing room, and when Yan Chengxuan saw her coming, he immediately waved his hand and said to the girl in the blue dress, "Qingxiang, get them all down."

Haruka nodded, but the girls clung to him and refused to get off. They frantically asked why, but were coaxed by Yan Chengxuan to back off.

Yan Chengxuan straightened his clothes, looked at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Xiaqiu, you're welcome, sit down!"

Zhuo Ran didn't move, and said: "Master Yan, Kang Sheng'an was taken away by the prison guards, what should we do?"

Yan Chengxuan said: "Today's examination room is really lively. Xiaqiu, don't worry, Kang Sheng'an will be fine, I promise you to help him."

"Help him..." Zhuo Ran immediately understood what he meant, and said, "...kill him."

"Smart." Yan Chengxuan lay on the couch, his face was reddened by the smell of alcohol, he looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "What's wrong."

Zhuo Ran looked at Yan Chengxuan and said, "Master Yan, the matter of Xu Zhen..."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Yan Chengxuan picked up the flower wine, took a big sip, and said, "Let me tell you slowly, that kid Xu Zhen often bullies his classmates, this is just a lesson for him!"

Zhuo Ran said: "Master Yan, what you mean is that you did it?"

Yan Chengxuan was very drunk, he saw three or four shadows of Zhuo Ran swaying, he propped himself up on the edge of the bed, moved to Zhuo Ran's side, and said, "It can be said that I prepared that bowl of water for him. "

Zhuo Ran paused and said, "But that bowl of water was for me at that time."

Yan Chengxuan put his hand on Zhuo Ran's shoulder and said, "Yes! I'm for you! Because..."

"Because of what?"

"Because... I know that you will definitely give Kang Shengan a drink, and Xu Zhen will definitely grab her." Yan Chengxuan grabbed her by the shoulder and said, "So I put him at the door so that he can clearly see you And Kang Shengan. How about it, am I smart?"

Zhuo Ran was silent for a long time, twitching the corners of her mouth slightly, she slowly pulled Yan Chengxuan's hand away without anyone noticing, and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."

"Thank you?" Yan Chengxuan pinched his nose and said, "Xiaqiu, there's no need to investigate this matter at all. You can just go back and rest, and leave the rest to me."

They all said that they spoke the truth after drinking, Zhuo Ran thanked him, and asked solemnly, "Why did Second Young Master help me?"

Yan Chengxuan pursed his lips and smiled, before he was completely confused, he shook his head and said, "Secret."

Zhuo Ran saluted, turned around and left Wuhualou, the wind blew slowly, Zhuo Ran lowered her head, only to realize that she was sweating all over.

Liu Yulin reported the latest situation, Chu Shiyu frowned slightly as he listened, and asked Li Chengru to say that he would hand over the matter to Li Yuchuan, which made it clear that he didn't want to take care of it at all.

There are turmoil in the court, and there is not peace in the dark. Whoever hurts someone will slander whoever. Chu Shiyu has seen a lot. Although Xu Zhen has connections with Xu Zheng, they are not directly related after all. Xu Zheng has always been just as addicted as Xu Zhen and his grandfather. Sorrowful, he had no intention of finding out the murderer at all, and Chu Shiyu had no desire to find out.

He knew that Li Yuchuan was smart and cautious, he would definitely find out the murderer, and he would give himself a satisfactory result.

Chu Shiyu changed the subject and said: "Jijiu, you don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to the governor, you and others will take a good look at the students in the Imperial College, after the exam is over, except for the students in the last round, For the rest, follow the rules of previous years."

Liu Yulin bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Seeing Liu Yulin retreat, Tian Wuruo said, "Your Majesty, Zhuo Ran is still involved in this matter, what should she do?"

Chu Shiyu sighed, and said: "She is a woman, she is determined not to dare to do this. Zhuo Ran must try to survive after getting out of Zuixueting. Heavenly Master, do you think I am doing the right thing?"

Tian Wuruo didn't know what he was referring to, so he fell silent.

Chu Shiyu continued: "If Zhuo Ran can't handle this time, she will die if she dies. I have given her a chance, and I have made her live very comfortably for the past four years. It is time to let her come out."

Tian Wuruo lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Zhuo Ran should be grateful to Your Majesty."

"Inform Liao Ze that Kang Sheng'an is a student and cannot be violent." Chu Shiyu said, "Let's go down first."

Ye Lanyi coaxed the child in the room, Chu Shiyu entered the room, hugged the little prince, and said, "Why do you look so red?"

"It's still a little hot this morning." Ye Lanyi touched the child's face and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you'll be fine with some medicine later."

Chu Shiyu said: "Have you sent a message to Jun'an? Does he know that Yun'er is full moon?"

Ye Lanyi smiled and said, "I did. But the border is still not peaceful, and he didn't reply."

Chu Shiyu nodded, and said: "In half a month, it will be the handover of the Habayashi guards. You and Yun'er stay in the palace and don't go. They are all rough people wielding knives and guns, so don't worry about it."

Ye Lanyi nodded.

Xu Zheng tricked him into falling asleep in the dormitory, and Peng Ge rushed back from Los Angeles. Three years ago, Chu Shiyu heard Jiang Rulan report that there was a piece of land in Los Angeles. The place is spacious, Chu Shiyu put Peng Ge there, Luocheng is one of the six big cities, it is the closest to Gaodu, and the Tianzhou garrison is there whenever they are called, which is very convenient.

Peng Ge supported Xu Zheng to sit down, looked at the people on the couch, and said, "Mr. Wu can't do this, he's very crazy, and he will cause trouble for your lord."

Xu Zheng sighed, and said, "It's all right, Mr. Wu can't bear it when Zhen'er is gone, so it's normal to look like this."

Peng Ge said, "Your Majesty sent someone to investigate, how is it?"

Xu Zheng shook his head and said, "Poison in Zhen'er is very common, and the person who poisoned it just thought of it, so it's very difficult to find out."

The two of them sighed, and Xu Zheng said again, "Has Zhen'er's funeral been arranged?"

Peng Ge nodded and said, "It's been arranged. My lord, this matter has something to do with Zhuo Ran, do you want to..."

Xu Zheng cleared his throat, and said, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, we just wait and see what happens. This kid, Zhen'er, doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he doesn't even realize he's being used as a target. Let's see how His Majesty will deal with it."

In the imperial prison, Liao Ze searched through the confession and did not find out why. He couldn't torture him, but he had to give Kang Shengan a good confession, and he was suffocated.

Fu Sisi came back from the outside and said, "My lord, the Heavenly Master is here."

Tian Wuruo was not in the mood to talk to him more, and he turned and left after explaining Chu Shiyu's words.

Fu Sisi followed him: "Send a celestial master to a lowly position."

Taking advantage of the guard at the door not paying attention, Tian Wuruo pulled him into the carriage, Fu Sisi was startled, looked up at him, and said: "It can't be like this, this is a prison."

Tian Wuruo smiled: "I want to see you."

Fu Sisi reached out and hugged him: "Ah Cheng."

Tian Wuruo was the child picked up by his master. At that time, it was freezing cold, and he was so cold that he was unconscious. He only knew that his name was Fu Cheng.The old celestial master was kind and accepted him as an apprentice, and after many years he became a great celestial master.
