Qingchuan History

Chapter 245

This is a question.It is also a hypothesis.

An overly bold assumption that skips a lot of causal logic and directly draws conclusions.

is a guess.It is also a questioning technique.

But it doesn't seem to work for teachers.Either it didn't work, or I was completely wrong.

"Finished?"

"It's over." Actually not.But if she can answer these three questions, the rest will be easily solved.

"You just mentioned you. It seems that the conjecture about the mistress of the Shangguan family is the conclusion shared by you and Ting Ge."

Jing Tingge went to Jidu, the whole Qingchuan knew about it, the teacher naturally also knew about it.

"Yes."

"But you are the only one who is curious about the origin of those two things again, because she has never been in Jizhao Pavilion."

"Yes."

"The speculation about the East Palace Medicine Garden is also your idea. Ting Ge has been thinking about it for the past few years, and he has no time to dig out such old cases. And you have always been brooding about the East Palace Medicine Garden."

"Yes."

"But you have never connected this case with Pengxi Mountain. It should not only be because of Yaozhi. Someone reminded you. His Majesty Qi Jun?"

"teacher."

"Don't be nervous." Ji Ji interrupted with a warm voice, and a very faint smile appeared between her brows again, "His Majesty Qi Jun is extremely intelligent, and any connection analysis he makes has its own reasons. Now it's my turn to ask you a few questions .After asking, I have my own answer.”

"Teacher, please speak."

"All these years, you and Ting Ge have never thought that Pengxi Mountain has any relationship with Donggong Medicine Garden. Why?"

Ruan Xueyin was stunned, "Because the time is not right. The teacher has lived in seclusion in Pengxi Mountain for 30 years."

"But time can also be faked. No one can confirm which year I went to the mountain. His Majesty Qi Jun also meant the same."

Ruan Xueyin remained silent.

"I do suspect that the person who taught the two sisters of Shangguan's family medicine is an old friend of mine. Before I went up the mountain, I knew some people and had some friends, and I have never concealed these from you. That friend who is very good at disguise is also my friend. We met when we were still wandering around the world in the past."

Most likely it was Mrs. Shangguan.

"You connected me with Mrs. Shangguan, and Sishu Zhan, me, her, and Donggong Medicine Garden. Can I understand that you suspect that we are all old people in the Donggong Medicine Garden case?"

very direct.It was as direct as Ruan Xueyin's question before.

This question is difficult to answer, so Ruan Xueyin did not answer.But she was sure that her silence at the moment had sent enough information.

"Shangguan's concubine and Shangguan's concubine are from the same mother, is this true?"

"should."

"How old is Shangguan Xi?"

Ruan Xueyin was startled again, "22."

"Then how many years ago did Mrs. Shangguan give birth to her?"

22 years ago.Pregnant even 23 years ago.And it should be in Cangwu to go to the government.

There are still three full years before the Donggong Medicine Garden incident.And without any reason, the mistress of the dignified Shangguan family will be involved in the seven-year-old Donggong Herb Garden in Yin Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away.In addition, based on the age of Shangguan Concubine, in November 20 years ago, Mrs. Shangguan was pregnant again, and it was Shangguan Concubine who was pregnant.

If the teacher and Mrs. Shangguan are from the same group, then they are staggered from the East Palace Medicine Garden.

"Your logical chain is broken." Jiji said, still calm, calm and with a hint of a smile, "Xiaoxue, the inference must be based on enough facts, you can still maintain doubts about me, and Pengxi. Shan's doubts, but you should gather more facts."

The teacher did not answer where she was 20 years ago.She just used Mrs. Shangguan's relatively accurate time proof to break this logical chain, and used her possible potential connection with Mrs. Shangguan to exclude herself.

There are still many loopholes.But obviously, she doesn't intend to explain too much without sufficient facts.She didn't even explicitly deny it.

"Teacher, did you let us go down the mountain on purpose?"

Ji Ji raised her eyebrows, "Ting Ge wants to leave by herself. Your Majesty Yin came to ask for you."

"But the teacher can refuse."

"I have to agree. He is Lord Yin, and you are his daughter. I'm just your teacher, and my parents are still alive. It's not my turn to decide your life-long affairs."

"But the teacher didn't ask me to follow Ruan Bi's request. You only asked me to borrow the Heluo map. As for whether to help Yin Guo, you can do whatever you want."

Ji Ji smiled again: "Whether you can persuade you to help the mother country is a matter for His Majesty Yin. I am a neutral person, so naturally I will not take a stand. In the final analysis, Xiaoxue, this is your own business. The choice has always been one's own business."

"If Ruan Bi didn't come to beg, would the teacher let me go down the mountain? Would he use other methods to still send me to Qi Palace? For Heluo Tu?"

"I told you very early on, don't make 'if not this', 'if that' assumptions about what has happened. You have already entered the Qi Palace, and this is the fact. No matter what you suspect is your My father is leading or actually I am leading. As time goes by, no matter how many new suspicions and conjectures you have, to confirm it or falsify it. Always move forward and use the scenery in front to answer the doubts behind you. This is the way of life , is the only way out for everyone to live."

Moon cold tree floating frost.

Ruan Xueyin was sitting on the side of her familiar couch, and Jing Tingge's couch was a foot away in front of her.A tail lamp burns on the small table between the two beds.There had never been a moment like this moment, she wished that girl was there.

For a long time, she thought that she should come back after completing her mission and borrowing the Heluo map one day.Even if she doesn't come back immediately, even if she wants to stay in Qi Palace for various reasons, if she can't stay any longer and wants to leave, she can still come back.

It turned out that she really regarded this place as her hometown.The only place to say "back".

But the teacher seemed to be pushing them out in some invisible way.Go to the vast world, watch the wind and clouds turbulent, go forward, and use the past to answer the question.

Sixteen years of study and study, is this just for this day?Everything that is nothing, turns out to be something.

"have you slept?"

There was a light knock on the door, it was the teacher.

"Not yet." She raised her voice and answered, getting up to open the door.

The teacher's complexion was softer than in the daytime.She hadn't seen her look like this in many years.She sat on the side of Jing Tingge's bed, facing her across the candle.

"Can't sleep after listening to those ambiguous words at dinner?"

Ruan Xueyin was silent.

"Have you met Ji Huan?"

This question almost made Ruan Xueyin sober.She looked up, her eyes piercing.

"I guessed wrong again." Jiji smiled faintly, "I really don't know him, let alone an acquaintance. The reason why I asked you that just now," she paused, and slowed down her voice, "I saw you coming back this time, I have a lot of things on my mind, and I am more at a loss than ever before, thinking that going to Jidu, meeting some people, going through some things, the meditation that has been honed in the mountains for many years has been cut open."

Ruan Xueyin didn't know how to answer.It really feels like nothing to say.

"Do you still have energy? Come out with me for a walk?"

The mountain wind is always strong.It is stronger at night, especially in winter.And the teacher rarely invites people to take a walk together.

"The Donggong Medicine Garden case is something that has been on your mind for many years. You will definitely come to this matter when you go down the mountain this time around. I just asked you if you met Ji Huan. Before, he had been to Suoning City. It seems that he stayed for a long time."

Although not completely unprepared.Ruan Xueyin was still deeply shocked.

"Never heard the teacher say that."

"At that time, I was not very well-informed. I was not strong enough." Ji Ji looked indifferent, "It was only later that I found out. Anyway, when you come back this time and ask about the East Palace Medicine Garden, I think you learned something from Ji Huan. .”

Not wrong.

"Teacher thinks, this matter has something to do with Master Ji Huan?"

"It's hard to say. After all, it's been a year. But he didn't go anywhere else, but Suoning City. There are many countries in the world, each with their own schemes. It must not be a trivial matter for Ji Huan to go out in person. You want to investigate the case of Donggong Medicine Garden, but now there are people In Qi Palace, starting with the Ji family is a logical choice."

"The teacher also wants me to check?"

Ji Ji's face seemed to change from cloudy to sunny in the moonlight and tree shadows.The depth of the light and shadow is hard to see clearly, and the mountain wind surges in the forest, crushing the light and shadow into pieces.

"Teacher is getting old." A sigh suddenly rose, and Ruan Xueyin had rarely heard it from the teacher's mouth for more than ten years, almost never, like the shadow of the moon, "When you get older, the things you were curious about when you were young are not so curious. People are not in the world. Walking in the middle of the day, the days are long, and the desire to explore and fight will disappear." She turned her head and looked at Ruan Xueyin with her eyebrows stretched.

"Xiaoxue, you are only 20 years old, you can't spend the rest of your life in the mountains. No matter what the future holds, this vast world is worth your time. I also went to the mountains to avoid the world after I have gone through it. As for Heluotu, If I can see it in the future, I will tell you the history of the obsidian curtain and the mountains and rivers. Before that, you might as well regard it as a chance in a person's youth and don't pay too much attention to it. The plants in our garden are also As for the East Palace Medicine Garden," she looked out of the forest and at the mountains in the distance, her eyes became far away,

"For many years you have hoped to find out something from me, but there are always some stories in the world that no one knows except the person concerned. The East Palace Medicine Garden is, and the Fengting Pass is also. Future generations want to know the cause and effect, unless they can find someone else , the person involved, or someone who passed by at that time. So I suggest you find Ji Huan."

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Ruan Xueyin again, "Actually, Xiaoxue, have you ever thought that maybe your mother passed away because of childbirth problems? Maybe in the end, it was just like this? Even if the timing and events are coincidental, it may be related to Donggong Medicine Garden The case is completely irrelevant.”

Then why did Ruan Bi hate this daughter so far?What did her mother do wrong again?Ruan Xueyin thought silently, and put herself in the position of an outsider again.

"That's all. You never said it, and you were never sad," Jiji continued to look at her, with complicated emotions in her eyes, "but who would not care about the unreasonable disgust from parents? After all, you do care, and you want to I know why, so the case of Donggong Medicine Garden has become your obsession. Xiaoxue, you always say that Tingge is persistent, and you are the same. It’s just that you have been staying in the mountains before, and you have a quiet temper. There is nowhere to put your obsession. .”

The mountain wind hits hard.The two master and apprentice finally walked out of the woods and came to an empty and precipitous cliff.

"Teacher, remember Ruan Zhong. In terms of identity, he is my elder brother."

"Naturally. Your Majesty Yin is the only one with these two sons, and everyone in the world knows about it. How should I say it?"

"I only found out recently that he should not be Ruan Bi's parent and son, which also explains why Ruan Bi has always disliked him."

Ji Ji raised her eyebrows, seemingly surprised, but not surprised, "Xiaoxue, this kind of thing won't happen again. It's the royal family."

The implication is that Ruan Xueyin was disliked by his father, not for the same reason as Ruan Zhong.

"No matter what the reason is. Teacher, you are right. I need to know who my mother is and how she lived and ended her life. Then I have to investigate the Donggong Medicine Garden case."

Ji Ji sighed, it seemed to be emotional, but also relieved.The sigh was engulfed by the mountain wind, and quickly poured into the dense forest behind him, unobserved by others, and even escaped the gaze of the moonlight on the mountain top.

"Go. Go and unravel the confusion and eradicate obsessions. Everyone lives like this when they are young. You finally have some heart to enter the world. It's good."
