Yan Xiaoran looked at her and asked curiously, "why, how did you suddenly ask this? Is there any problem?"

Gu Wanzhou hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"I decided today that the willow next to the pond is not normal. Why is the soil in other places dark brown, but the soil next to the willow is reddish brown?"

Yan Xiaoran was stunned, and then asked, "what did you find?"

"I didn't find anything, but I think it was because I didn't find anything that I was more confused."

"It's obviously different, isn't it to tell us that there's a problem here? But I didn't find anything. Obviously there is a problem, but nothing is found. Isn't that the problem? "

Yan Xiaoran pondered for a while and said, "in fact, I suspected that there might be some secret hidden in that willow tree. I also searched for it for a long time, but I didn't find anything. In the end, I had to let it go."

Gu Wanzhou was also silent. After a moment, he asked, "how do you know what's wrong? Except for the different colors of the soil there? "

Yan Xiaoran said: "I also had people investigate the soil there. It's true that willows in one county grow on reddish brown soil, but they are not the same species as willows in our yard."

"But beyond that, I didn't find any clues."

When he said that, he suddenly realized something and said, "when my mother died, she once took my hand and said," under the willow... "

Gu Wanzhou looked at Yan Xiaoran, "what does Princess mean?"

The man looked sad. "I just thought that my mother wanted me to stay in the court, or that she wanted to stay and take care of me. I didn't have any other ideas..."

"But now it seems that there is something worth digging here."

Gu Wanzhou bit his chopsticks and pondered for a while.

Suddenly said: "if there is any secret, your mother's wife has not told you until the last moment of her life, so the secret there must be very important."

"But if it's a big secret, isn't your mother's hint too obvious? As I said just now, there is no obvious difference. As long as people have brains, they will pay attention to it. "

Yan Xiaoran was silent.

Not only in memory of his mother's wife, but also for his many years, has not solved the mystery, and feel a little sad and remorse.

"Black under the light..."

In the silence, Gu Wanzhou suddenly said three words.

Although Yan Xiaoran has been in the court all the time, he can also hear some slang in the Jianghu, "do you mean the secret or under the Liu tree?"

Gu Wanzhou nodded, "it's just my guess. I guess it's not on the reddish brown soil, but in the rest of the surrounding soil."

"In general, we only notice the different places, but forget to check the relevant places."

Yan Xiaoran nodded, "you are right, Yan Zhong."

Yan Zhong immediately came in from the outside.

"You take the people and dig up the willows beside the pond in the yard, along with the surrounding soil."

Yan Zhong didn't understand the meaning of this order. He didn't often receive such a task as digging willows in the dark.

But looking at the hostess sitting on one side, he still didn't say anything and left after receiving the order.

"It's up to Yanzhong. You can rest assured. Come on, it's your favorite dish. I specially asked the cook to follow me. I'm afraid you won't get used to the new taste."

Yan Xiaoran said while she was holding a chopstick for her favorite dish.

Gu Wanzhou looked, "my taste is not so delicate, but you are so considerate for me, I still like it very much!"

She really thinks that she is very easy to support and is not picky about food, but who doesn't like to be treated so attentively?

Yan Xiaoran heard that the woman said he liked it, and he also liked it very much. They forgot the topic just now and began to talk about the rest of the gossip. The atmosphere was very happy for a moment.

When they had a rest, Gu Wanzhou had actually forgotten what happened under the willow tree, but Yan Xiaoran was still thinking about it.

It's not that he doesn't care about Gu Wanzhou, but that this may involve his mother's wife. He can't forget

Gu Wanzhou saw that he had a different look and asked, "what are you thinking?"

Yan Xiaoran did not hide, "what I think is, did Yan Zhong find anything..."

"Didn't Yan Zhong come to report it just now..."

In the middle of Gu Wanzhou's words, he immediately changed his tune and said, "let's wait a little longer."

In fact, Yan Zhong had come to report once before, saying that he had not found anything.But Yan Xiaoran couldn't accept it emotionally, so he asked him to continue digging. Even if he dug three feet, he had to find something, so Yan Zhong took the task and went again.

Yan Xiaoran hugged her and said "um" softly.

Gu Wanzhou thought of the man's experience, also can understand his present mood, so also did not say anything, just quietly accompany him and so on.

Less than a quarter of an hour, Yan Zhong finally came back again, "Lord, we found this..."

At this time, Yan Zhong is holding a cow skin bag with a trace of soil in his hand, which contains something.

Yan Xiaoran's eyes were excited. For a moment, he didn't dare to pick them up.

Gu Wanzhou looked at him and gently pushed him behind his back. Yan Xiaoran came back to himself.

He took it from Yan Zhong's hand, and then said in a low voice, "you go down first."

Yan Zhong looked at his master with a low look and wanted to say something. However, seeing Gu Wanzhou by his side, he felt that it was unnecessary for him to say anything, so he went down quietly.

After Yan Zhong left, Yan Xiaoran began to slowly open the package.

There are layers of paper inside. The innermost layer is a letter, followed by a jade charm.

Yan Xiaoran gently opened the letter, just like opening a fragile handicraft, quietly began to browse.

After reading the letter, Yan Xiaoran didn't speak, but as he collected it, Gu Wanzhou noticed that his eyes were red

She gently forward, holding Yan Xiaoran's shoulder, silent comfort.

Yan Xiaoran fumbled for a while with the jade Fu in his hand, and carefully received it in his arms.

After putting everything away, Yan Xiaoran turns to hold Gu Wanzhou.

Lying on her neck, she said in a low voice: "my father was really killed by him Unfortunately, I found out too late... "
