Xia Houjin lowered his head and said: "Everyone will be startled when they encounter something that they think is unreasonable. Only because of this, people will be complacent and dare not move forward. There is a first time for everything, so it is not necessary for me to start. .”
Hua Jinglan smiled and shook her head, "It's sometimes a good thing to risk the world's disapproval, but if it brings about constant disputes, then we can only endure it, or try our best to get the best of both worlds."
Xia Houjin's expression darkened, "Do you want me to be patient?"
"My people have to be patient even when they are in danger. Why can't you be patient?" Hua Jinglan asked in return.
Xia Houjin looked at her radiant cheeks and felt really sad. At the same time, he felt that such Hua Jinglan seemed to give him an illusion, as if the person sitting on the couch was not a dying person, but a person who was calmly looking down at the world. King, what she is talking about is not that she is surrounded by enemies on all sides, but that she is waiting for the enemy to fall into the tiger's mouth.
"Boy, you still have a lot to learn!" Hua Jinglan flicked his forehead.
Xia Houjin covered his forehead and said dissatisfied: "This is my place, you have to save some face for me no matter what!"
Hua Jinglan smiled happily, "Face is not given by others, it is earned by yourself. Go and go about your business."
Xia Houjin followed the words and left the palace, and Hua Jinglan's smile slowly fell. Su Huan saw that her face was not good, so she said: "Madam, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself, so that we can protect ourselves."
Hua Jinglan nodded lightly and turned her eyes faintly to the window. The strong sunlight made people feel hot just looking at it, but her heart felt cold. Wen Ruyu and Lingxiu left with the fifth path, which made her feel relieved. , and Sang Bugui, Wen Zhuoyi and the others... now there is only one way available.
When she came back to her senses, Su Huan and Nie Xiaoyang had already gone out, and she and Chun Yuyan were the only ones left in the huge room.
The sound of cicadas outside the window continued. Hua Jinglan collected her thoughts and said, "Chunyu, Suhuan and the others need to make arrangements."
A sad look appeared on Chunyu Yan's eyebrows, and she said softly: "You say it."
"I want to accommodate the four people and Diao Yu, and let them go back to Loulan Kingdom, and the five Hua Yin people. If they are willing to stay, they can go back and take care of Linglong and Caiteng. If they don't want to, they will be given money to let them go freely. Yan Qing His sister is at Jiuxiao Villa, so he must go find her, so let him take Yuchi Yue on the road with him. In addition, Jiaoyue, Izuyun, Suhuan and Meier, can you help me take care of them?"
Chunyu Yan nodded solemnly.
"Sangbugui, Xuanji and Beifeng are the descendants of Penglai Island. This battle in Penglai will definitely fall apart. Let them leave here and don't go back to Penglai. It is best to remain anonymous." Hua Jinglan paused and said: "Wei If Yan is not going to be with us, let her go."
After a pause, she continued: "Wei Yan can predict destiny. Can she see that I am dead?"
Chunyu Yan's eyes suddenly darkened, "Lan'er, what are you..."
"Let Su Huan leave the palace and spread the news of my death in three days." Hua Jinglan's expression was clear, as if she was not talking about life and death. "Don't let them approach the palace. I have asked Mu Shen to contact Xiang Zishan A master, just in case.”
Chun Yuyan took a deep breath and tried to remove the firepower from the cauldron. Doing so would indeed leave the hidden enemy with nowhere to use their strength, but it would be tantamount to giving up on the Penglai Island disciples.
"As for Penglai Island," Hua Jinglan chuckled, "I will take out the Moon Silver Hook then, and it's up to them whether they leave or not."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Chun Yuyan took out the soft pillow behind her and said, "Sleep for a while first."
I slept until dusk. When I opened my eyes, I saw the rays of light filling the room, which was as crimson as blood and extremely alluring.
Chun Yuyan stayed by the side and when she woke up, he poured a cup of tea for her, fed her to drink and then said: "Although you are not in good health, Nie Xiaoyang also said that you should get out of bed and move around."
Since taking the pregnancy-stimulating drug, Hua Jinglan has been unable to sleep night after night. Sometimes she will be woken up by pain when she barely falls asleep. Today, she has solved a major problem on her mind and feels a lot better inexplicably. Her body does not seem to hurt as much as before. , so as soon as Chunyu Yan said it, she nodded happily.
The temperature has dropped, and there is a cool breeze in the evening. It is very cool outside. Chunyu Yan chose to walk along Yuhu Lake. The waterside was cool and the lotus flowers on the waterside were blooming very beautifully.
I bumped into Xia Houjin from a distance. He was followed by several palace people, who seemed to be going somewhere.
He walked over and nodded slightly towards Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan, and said, "Where are you going, Sister Hua?"
"Just walk along the lake for a while." Hua Jinglan said, holding her belly.
"I'm here to meet the teacher, just in front."
Xia Houjin pointed forward, and Hua Jinglan looked over and saw a man kneeling by the water. His long hair was casually spread out, and only a bunch of red necklaces tied with engraved copper locks were tied around the back of his head. In the middle of the hair, the clothes are ink-colored, vaguely embroidered with water-colored lotus flowers, and the back of the gown is dotted with the Big Dipper. Looking ahead, there is a chessboard with a few broken chess pieces on it and a guzheng a little further away. He held the white chess pieces and looked into the distance with an unclear expression. The black chess cup was beside him. Some of the chess pieces of each color were scattered on the ground. Behind him stood a woman in the same attire, except that her hair was braided on both sides of her head and gathered in the middle with a hosta to hold it in place. His expression was respectful and dutiful.
Hua Jinglan was a little curious because she couldn't see the man's face. From the side, he should be a very young man. Such a man could be the crown prince in the palace
Xia Houjin took a few steps forward, bowed his hands, and said, "Greetings, teacher."
The man in black took out a white piece and dropped it on the chessboard, seeming to be thinking about where to go next. It wasn't until he picked up the black man that he said: "The prince is supposed to accompany the emperor to handle government affairs, how did he find himself here?"
Xia Houjin straightened up and said, "I heard that the teacher is resigning?"
The man in black robes dropped Heizi again and said leisurely: "I have nothing left to teach you."
Xia Houjin was reluctant to give up, "But the teacher is very knowledgeable, why not stay in the palace and teach the younger brother?"
"There is only one crown prince in Tianshui Kingdom, and I can only teach the crown prince." The voice of the man in black didn't fluctuate at all. The woman behind him also kept her head lowered, without even raising her eyes. They were very similar.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xia Houjin no longer forced him to stay. After a moment, he said, "Teacher, these are Young Master Xue Yue, Hua Jinglan, and Young Master Yan."
The man in black clothes turned around, and a pair of black pupils struck Hua Jinglan's eyes, making her stunned for a moment: Such beautiful eyes!
The man in black clothes stood up, raised his sleeves and cupped his hands and said, "I'm at Yanlan Mountain."
Hua Jinglan lowered her head slightly and said, "Hua Jinglan."
Yan Lanshan's eyes flickered back and forth between Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan, and then said: "I heard the prince mention Young Master Xue Yue as early as when he returned to the palace, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. I was able to meet Young Master Xue Yue before I left. It also puts Lan Shan’s mind at ease.”
"Your Majesty, your words are serious." Hua Jinglan responded calmly, just out of politeness.
Yan Lanshan slightly pulled back his sleeves and said, "I will be leaving the palace today, so I cannot have a long conversation with you two."
"It's okay." Chunyu Yan said.
Hua Jinglan looked at the Crown Prince Fu without any trace. Being young was one thing, but his flowing and aloof temperament was rare to see. Of course, someone who could serve as Crown Prince Fu of Tianshui Kingdom at such a young age was definitely not an ordinary person. .
Yan Lanshan bowed slightly and bowed to Xia Houjin before turning around and leaving. The woman behind him followed suit and did not miss a moment.
Watching him go away, Xia Houjin was very disappointed.
"Martial arts are not low." Chun Yuyan said suddenly.
Hua Jinglan was slightly stunned, "Lian Jiazi?"
Chunyu Yan raised her thin lips slightly, "This Prince Fu is indeed not simple. His martial arts skills may not be inferior to mine."
Hua Jinglan pondered, teaching the prince not to be greedy for success and fame. If he can regard money and power as external things, he must have great skills.
"Jin'er, who is this teacher of yours?" Hua Jinglan asked.
Xia Houjin shook his head and said: "I don't know his origins. I only know that he is not from Tianshui country. He was not selected to enter the palace, but was promoted by my father after he met him during an accidental trip."
"But the teacher is so talented that I will never find another person like him in Tianshui Kingdom."
Hua Jinglan nodded, looking thoughtful.
Three days later, the news of Hua Jinglan's death spread throughout Jiuhe City. The funeral ceremony was held in the palace of the imperial court and no one was allowed to visit. Su Huan and others stayed in front of the north gate of the palace every day, but Chun Yuyan never showed up. Nie Xiaoyang came out of the palace, conveyed Hua Jinglan's message, arranged their whereabouts, and secretly sent Prime Minister Zishan masters be protected.
No one wanted to believe that Hua Jinglan was dead. Even Gao Jinglan stayed in front of the palace gate without sleep for three days until she fainted from exhaustion. Even though Hua Jinglan made arrangements for them, no one wanted to see her for the last time. Willing to do so.
The calmest person was Wei Yan, who only stood in front of the palace gate for a day and then left. However, she was the only one who was sure that Hua Jinglan was not dead. The starlight was still there, who could say death? !
