The Concubine's Conspiracy: Rebirth of the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 217

The green peak is like a blade, piercing obliquely into the sky, the mountain stream is deep, the smog is faint, and the birds are difficult to cross.

Among the vast clouds and water, on the platform between the cliffs, there are two people sitting cross-legged across the stone platform, facing each other. The old man has white beard and hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He looks like a living Buddha among the Buddha statues. .

The man opposite had a thin mask that concealed his god-like face, but he also had a handsome figure, facing the wind like a jade tree, and his whole body was full of nobility.

"Master, is she the one whom Master said can influence the fate of this disciple?" Amidst the sound of running water, the man's voice was as round as jade.

"The world is like running water, idiot, how different is the tea in your hand?" the old man asked softly with a faint smile.

The man lowered his eyes and replied: "Tang Yunlu, Ye Rufeng, sank to the bottom of the cup."

"Then you can try it again, what does that tea taste like?"

The old man picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Seeing this, the man's black eyes flickered slightly, and his two slender fingers also picked up the teacup. The tea came to his lips and swallowed lightly.

"Sweet in the mouth, bitter in the throat, astringent in the aftertaste... This is Shili Fragrant Leaf!"

The old man nodded and smiled: "It's bitter and astringent, but it's called Shilixiang, idiot, do you know why?"

The man shook his head, "I don't understand, I hope Master will clarify."

"Water has no form, and tastes itself. For the teacher, taste this tea, sweet and delicious, but you taste the bitter taste. The reason is not in the cause, not in the effect, but in the heart. There is an obstacle in the heart. As such, there is fear in the heart. Such fear, There are gains and losses in the heart, such is ignorance, and there is obsession in the heart, such is suffering."

Holding the cup again, the old man sighed: "Wei, the mind is as calm as water, and you can see through the floating dreams!"

"Wei, your mind is as calm as water, you can see through your floating dreams!"

The man murmured, repeated the same, raised his head, but said: "But the obsession has already arisen, how should we eradicate it?"

"Fool, watching water has form, its shape is ever-changing, tasting tea has flavor, its taste is mixed with five flavors, you have to see it, taste it, and then you will know whether it is a dream or an illusion, whether it is bitter or sweet. , Floating life is like a dream, if you don't fall into a dream, how can you break it, go..."

The old man's voice faded away, and disappeared in a fairyland like a dream in the blink of an eye.

The man stood leaning against the cliff with a teacup in his hand, his ink eyes drooping slightly, looking at the bottomless ravine where the white mist curled into the distance, his red lips whispered to himself: "Life is like a dream, if you don't enter the dream, how can you break it, if you don't enter the dream, how can you break it?" ..."

……

Time flies by like a gap.

Seven or eight days, neither long nor short, slipped away in a hurry. These days, Luo Wuyou almost didn't go anywhere, and stayed by Gu Ruolan's side all the time.

The old lady's birthday is approaching gradually as promised.

Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday.It was the last day she could stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After tomorrow, she would be sent to Qingzhou, so, tonight, Gu Ruolan left her in Yilan Courtyard.

The mother and son slept on the same couch.

Lying in his mother's warm arms, listening to his mother's gentle voice, telling interesting things about her childhood, Luo Wuyou felt extremely at ease.

The wind outside the window rolled up the fallen leaves, blowing the window leaves, creaking and swaying, and at some point, there was a light rain, the autumn rain was continuous, dripping down the eaves.

At night, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

In the darkness, there was a black shadow that quickly shuttled through the contiguous housing estates, and fell straight into the courtyard. In one of the wing rooms, looking at the empty wing room, the corner of the man's mouth was hooked. A smile.

He took out a fire pocket from his bosom and blew it on.

In the faint light, only the eyes emitting a faint green light can be seen.

When those eyes saw a long box on the mahogany table, their pupils shrank immediately, and they walked straight over, opened the long box, looked at the things inside, opened it, and opened it with dry and wrinkled hands. Wipe the most secret place.

Then cover the box and leave quickly.

But a moment after the black shadow left, the door was opened again, and another figure flashed in. The man reached out, picked up the box on the table and opened it...

After the shadow left.

There was another petite figure on the beam, flying down, also looking at the box on the table, a trace of surprise flashed in the cold eyes.

Youyou sighed softly: "Two times in one night, Luo Wuyou, it seems that there are really many people who want to harm you?"

……

Luo Wuyou was oblivious to everything that happened in Wuyou Pavilion. At that time, she had already nestled in her mother's arms, fell asleep soundly, and entered a sweet dreamland.

When I woke up the next day, it was getting late.

It can also be said that it was the most sound sleep Luo Wuyou has slept since he was reborn, and it was dawn after a short sleep. Gu Ruolan didn't bother to call her, and when she woke up, she had to wash up.

Gu Ruolan has brought a ready breakfast.

"It's not that there is a maid, and Nong Mo's cooking skills are not bad, why does mother cook herself?" Seeing this, Luo Wuyou said angrily, really reluctant to let Gu Ruolan get involved.

Gu Ruolan put down the breakfast and stroked Luo Wuyou's head.

Then he said with a loving face: "Wuyou, after you leave, Mother will not be by your side. Today is your grandmother's birthday, and in two months, you will be 12 years old."

"In the past, my mother would celebrate your birthday with you every year, but this year, my mother can't be by your side. So, my mother made a bowl of longevity noodles for you, and I will celebrate your birthday in advance. You and Have a look, do you like it?"

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years, and her Wuyou is already 12 years old, and she has grown into a big girl, so graceful and beautiful, in a few years, she will say that she will get married, and then she will take care of her husband and teach her children.

To see Wuyou get married and see An'er grow up safely is her greatest wish in this life.

Luo Wuyou nestled in Gu Ruolan's arms, took a deep breath, and then looked at the longevity noodles on the table, looking at the fried yellow eggs and noodles inside.

Nodding her head, her nose was a little perplexed: "My mother made it, my daughter likes it, thank you mother."

"Silly boy, thank you. You are Mother's daughter. No matter what Mother does for you, she is willing." Gu Ruolan smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, the noodles won't taste good when they get cold."

Luo Wuyou sniffed, sat down, picked up the chopsticks that were placed aside, picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth, the taste was just like in memory.

So familiar and delicious.

Every year on her birthday, my mother would cook for her and make a bowl of longevity noodles.

For more than ten years, it has never stopped.

She married into the royal family and served as Princess Yu and Crown Princess. She had never eaten or tasted any delicacies, but in those years, what she wanted to eat most was the longevity noodles made by her mother herself.

Only then, it was just an unattainable luxury.

Now, she tasted the longevity noodles made by her mother again. Luo Wuyou ate it with big mouthfuls, chewing the taste carefully, and there were crystal drops of water dripping from her lips into the noodle soup.

slightly salty.

There was always a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Ruolan turned her head, stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and told her from time to time: "Wuyou, eat slowly, don't swallow, look at your child, I want to eat, when you come back, mother will do it for you again, when the time comes, As much as you want to eat, mother will cook for you."

"That can't be done. Longevity noodles can only be eaten on birthdays, otherwise, it would be meaningless, what does mother say?" Luo Wuyou swallowed a mouthful of noodles, and replied with a smile.

Luo Wuyou ate up the whole bowl of noodles, and even drank the soup.

He touched his slightly bulging stomach.

Luo Wuyou sighed contentedly: "As expected, mother's handicraft is the best. If Wuyou eats like this every day, I'm afraid I'll be fat and plump, like a ball?"

"You child, what are you talking about, how can you be fat like a ball? Mother's Wuyou, in the mother's eyes, no matter what she looks like, she is the most beautiful." Gu Ruolan gave Luo Wuyou an angry look.

There was a mist in his eyes.

Her Wuyou is the most beautiful daughter in the world, yet she has such a useless mother.

He can't even protect his own children.

"Okay mother, stop praising your daughter, if you do, your daughter's tail will really go up to the sky, Hong Jin, bring me what I am going to give mother."

Luo Wuyou felt sour, and called out to Hong Jin, Hong Jin wiped away her tears, and handed a purse to Luo Wuyou, Luo Wuyou took it, and tied the purse around Gu Ruolan's waist with her own hands.

While tying it, she said: "Mother, this purse was embroidered by my daughter herself, and the herbs and spices inside were also added by her own hands. Wearing it next to your body can improve your eyesight and refresh your mind, and it is very good for your health. Besides, seeing this Purse, like seeing a daughter."

"In the future, no matter where you go, it will be like your daughter is by your side."

"Okay, mother will definitely wear it close to her body." Gu Ruolan caressed the purse, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and reached out to caress the delicate purse, which was embroidered with two gardenias.

The petals are white and flawless, and the stamens are lifelike. It can be seen how hard the people who embroidered the purse embroidered.

Seeing this, Luo Wuyou hurriedly said: "Okay, mother, you should go out too. Grandma is celebrating her birthday today, so you can't shed tears, otherwise, it will provoke suspicion from others."

"Mother, take An'er there first, after you take care of it, go over to pay your grandma's birthday!" Gu Ruolan urged.

"Okay, mother will go first, and my daughter has to go get the birthday gift for grandma."

Gu Ruolan nodded, carried An'er in her arms and took the girl and mother-in-law out of the yard. Luo Wuyou took a deep breath, but returned to Wuyou Pavilion with Hongjin and Jianqiu.

Ming Hongjin took out the congratulatory gifts prepared in advance.

After the two maids left, a figure suddenly appeared in the room, with a beautiful face, but a cold face, without the slightest disturbance.

Luo Wuyou walked to the closet and took out a delicate box, which was a gift from her teacher's wife.

Opening the makeup box, there were several pieces of jewelry inside, but Luo Wuyou's eyes fell on the jade bottle and jade box in the box.Take out the two things and store them in the armhole.

She turned her head and asked softly, "Are you all ready?"

A person appeared in the room at some point, upon hearing this, the person nodded slightly.

Luo Wuyou sighed: "Then let's go too."
