Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Shen Zhibai is not around, his affairs are shared among others.

After a short meeting, they dispersed wisely without disturbing Su Rao's review of the case file. After a busy day, Su Rao sent someone to send a message to Lu Mansion after she returned to the mansion, explaining that she would go to the appointment tomorrow.

The servant brought back the news that Lu Wan had asked her to meet in front of Weishi Chuliu Tingyuan.

When Qing Deng heard the news, he couldn't help asking: "Are all the noble ladies in Shengjing so unruly now?"

Shouldn't these things be written clearly when the invitation is delivered?
Su Rao smiled but said nothing.

She thought, in Lu Wan's understanding, her rules are the rules.

It's nice to be casual.

"You take that brat away."

Master Qingdeng suddenly said something with a dark face, and Su Rao raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Nan hasn't bothered you to sleep recently, has he?"

"That's not OK."

Qing Deng breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "I'm an old bone, how can I compare with that brat's energy, look, I'm tired and thin."

He stretched out his arms and waved them in front of her.

Su Rao looked around for a while, "Shu Tuer's eyes are clumsy, I really didn't see it."

"Besides, where are you tired?"

She gave the old monk an angry look, and counted with her fingers: "Ah Fu is in charge of the affairs of the house, and Auntie Wu is in charge of the ceremony and preparations for the marriage negotiation. Your old man can at most show up... ..."

"That's also tiring, heart-tiring."

Qing Deng really misses the days in Yiye Tian, ​​how quiet it was at that time, and he could still meditate and practice, play chess and drink tea...

Now his generation of masters has been reduced to the point of raising children.

Su Rao ignored his complaints, stood up and slowly brushed off the dust on her sleeves, ready to go back to Banyue Residence.

Qing Deng said: "I heard that the prince and the princess have returned to live in the mansion."

He suddenly mentioned this matter, Su Rao couldn't move her feet, and sat back again, "Master, you seem to be very concerned about the Yan family's affairs."

"is it?"

The inquiry in her words stunned Qingdeng, yawned lazily, and snorted: "It's not for you, the Yan family has a simple population and a harmonious family, so it's easy to get along with."

"It's just the couple..."

Qing Deng frowned subconsciously, "It's hard to figure out what happened between their family."

"I remember more than ten years ago, when the son was still young, Yan Bai still loved this son very much."

Time went back a few years like a tide, Qing Deng was lying on the rocking chair, as if lost in memory: "I was invited to sit in the Duke's mansion that year, and when I passed by a garden, I saw Yan Bai leading a child playing .”

"The child is still very young, and he can't speak clearly, babbling."

"He lifted the little man up high against the light, and the child laughed, and he laughed too. When he got tired of lifting, he put the little man back into his arms, and continued to tease him patiently."

"The nurse who was serving next to him was afraid that he would be tired, and wanted to take the baby, but he smiled and shook his head, saying that it was rare that he was in the house, and wanted to hug him more."

When Qing Deng said this, he turned his head to look at Su Rao, and joked: "Women have always done a lot of things like taking care of children, but it's hard to imagine that he is so skillful in doing it that even wet nurses can't do it."

"Then why..."

Master Yuanzheng was kind and gentle, and he was an excellent father, but what she saw was that the father and son were alienated and indifferent.

Su Rao is hard to understand.

"I don't know the exact reason, I just remember that the last time I saw him, he begged Yiye Tian..."

The meaning in Qingdeng's eyes made Su Rao quickly react, and her expression became tense: "Could it be that time... Yan Yun's poison..."

"good."

Qing Deng nodded, and sighed: "Yan family is also very powerful. I don't know where to invite the famous recluse doctor in the Jianghu, Xiangu Yishui, and temporarily managed to curb the spread of the toxin, but it will not save his life after all."

"In the end, Gu Yituo came up with a way, which is to gather the power of several great masters in the world, and use internal power to seal the toxin in the child's body, so Yan Bai came to me."

"I owe the old man a favor, so I agreed without much thought."

"In addition to me, they also brought in other people, that is, the few you have seen, the gentleman sword Ji Mingchun, the magician Chu Fengyang, the ghost sword Kou Feibai, the wine lady Miao Xiangjun, and the half-faced fairy Yang Well."

"The six of us, together with Gu Yishui, each devoted ten years of cultivation to barely save that kid's life."

Qing Deng smiled, "In today's world, in terms of profound internal strength, I am afraid that no one can surpass Yan Yun."

"What then?"

Su Rao asked.

"Later, I traveled around. After returning to Beijing for several years, Yuanzheng Wang and his wife went out to 'tour mountains and rivers', leaving a lonely child alone."

"The old man raised him in front of him and taught him to read and write."

"Half a year later, Yan Yun, who was only eight years old, was granted the crown prince, moved to the palace, and then entered the palace to study with the prince..."

The reason for this is the secret of Gaomen.

There is nowhere to find out.

After Qing Deng finished talking about these past events, he recollected them for a long time, and said lightly: "I missed too much back then, whether it was Yan Yun's apprenticeship, or Gu Yishui's apprenticeship... It's strange to say, I remember that he obviously wanted to stop talking at the beginning Yun was an apprentice, but he changed his mind in the end and accepted the kid from the Cui family."

"Gu Yishui, you haven't seen it before."

Xu Shi is old and always likes to talk about old things, Qingdeng said to himself: "That is a medical idiot, except for studying pharmacological diseases, he is not interested in anything else, so many years, he has only been out of the valley twice. "

"Speaking of which, both times involved people you know."

Su Rao raised her head in surprise, "Who else?"

"Thank you, boy."

He is senior and old, and he calls everyone 'that boy', but Su Rao thought about it carefully, and tentatively asked, "Is it... Xie Yin?"

"It's him."

Qing Deng clicked his tongue and said: "These aristocratic families are very complicated, with intrigues and cunning methods. First there is Yan Yun, and then there is Xie Yin. One or two don't know how crazy they are to attack their children."

Another mystery.

Su Rao recalled that day when she first saw this cousin in Taohualin, a young general, with a murderous air, indifferent and fierce.

She only knew that the Xie family was defeated, that he joined the army as a young man and licked blood from the edge of his knife.

But I didn't know there was such a thing.

"What's up with him?"

Su Rao asked a question in a strange way, and regretted it after asking, pursed her lips, Qing Deng stared at her, and uttered two words: "Poisoned."

"However, his poison is not as dangerous as that boy's, and it is more vicious than that."

Su Rao couldn't help being amused by what he said. Is this a good thing?Still have to make a comparison.

"How vicious?"

"It can paralyze a person's whole body. It starts to destroy the musculoskeletal organs, and slowly dies from the torment of the disease... When Lao Gu was entrusted by Yan Yun to detoxify, the Xie family boy had been poisoned for more than four years, and it took a lot of time." Kung fu can heal people."

"Boy Yan didn't tell anyone about this, and even Xie's family was kept in the dark. When I went to visit Lao Gu for a drink, he made a drunken slip of the tongue. Don't talk too much."

He exhorted worriedly.

Su Rao felt a little heavy in her heart, and nodded casually.
