Yun Ge was dragged aside by the eunuch. The person who dragged it was rude and touched the wound, and she was a little sober from the pain. I vaguely heard a person ordering to prepare horse gear, and tried to escort her to the dungeon without showing any traces, and asked for some confession. I don't know if it's because of the pain or the fire, but the whole world in front of her is bright red. Among the chaotic and blurred figures, she saw a shadow standing alienated in a fiery red world. Surrounded by scorching heat and turmoil, he was indifferent and quiet. The wind was blowing his robe, his waist...that jade pei...looming...jumping with the firelight...the dancing dragon...

Because of the blood loss, Yun Ge's brain has long been unclear. She just subconsciously struggled to crawl towards the shadow. Stretching out his hand hard, trying to hold the piece of jade pei, the blood splattered on the ground... The distance is so far away, and her power is so small. Try harder, try harder, struggle harder... With all the strength of the whole body, in the eyes of God, the distance is only a few inches. The eunuchs are carefully inspecting the corpse, hoping to find items that prove the identity of the assassin, and then throw the inspected corpse into the fire and incinerate according to Yu An's order.

Yu An persuaded Liu Fuling to get in the car a few times and go first, and leave a few eunuchs here to deal with the aftermath, but Liu Fuling just stared at the fire in a daze. Under the sky-high flames, Yu An could only feel a sense of sadness under the emperor's seemingly plain expression. He couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking at this time, and he didn't understand why the emperor rushed to Chang'an in a hurry before, but now he stopped here.With the emperor's heart, it is impossible to say that he was frightened by a few assassins. Unable to figure it out again and again, Yu An didn't dare to say anything, and just stood behind Liu Fuling without saying a word.

The strong wind blew the hem of his robe, and Yun Ge murmured, "Ling... Ling..." She used all the strength she could, thinking it was loud, but amidst the "whoosh" wind, there were only small whimpers. Hearing the rustling sound, Yu An lowered his head and saw a black figure covered in blood and mud stretching out his hand, crawling towards them, as if trying to grab the corner of the emperor's robe. He was taken aback, and immediately rushed forward a few steps, using a bit of skill on his feet, to kick Yun Ge out, "A group of bastards, they are so procrastinating, why don't you hurry..."

Yun Ge burst into heart-piercing pain. While tumbling around, she finally saw the shadow's face clearly. Those eyes... those eyes... I only felt that my heart was pierced by a sharp arrow, and it hurt more than the wound on my chest. Before he could understand why his heart hurt so much, he passed out. Liu Fuling stood quietly looking at the fire for a long while, then turned around slowly. Seeing the emperor getting into the carriage, Yu An was about to order to continue on the road, but heard Liu Fuling's voice without any warmth: "Turn around and go back to the hot spring palace."

Yu An was stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Get up and drive back to Mount Li." But after walking for a while, Liu Fuling said again: "Turn around and go to Chang'an." Yu An immediately ordered to turn around. In the end, it was only time for a cup of tea, Liu Fuling knocked on the window and ordered to stop. Yu Jing waited for a long time, but Liu Fuling still did not make a sound, as if there was something difficult to decide. It was the first time Yu An saw the emperor like this, and he couldn't guess the reason, so he could only ask tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to turn the carriage back to Mount Li?"

Liu Fuling suddenly opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. He casually ordered an eunuch who looked a bit like himself: "You pretend to be me and go back to Lishan, Yu An, you accompany me to Chang'an, and the rest of the people escort the carriage back to Lishan." Yu An was shocked, and wanted to speak out to warn him, but Liu Fuling's gaze swept him away, his body trembled, and his mouth quickly closed.He hesitated for a while, but still knelt down and begged Liu Fuling to bring a few more people with him even if he was going to Chang'an. Liu Fuling got on his horse and said, "What is false is true, and what is true is false. No one would have thought that I would be so rash. The assassin just now should not have come here to kill me. You don't have to worry about the current situation. My safety, but I should be worried about your safety, let's go!"

Yu An seemed to understand the emperor's words, and after riding for a while, he suddenly realized that the emperor's back and forth was all because of that Mr. Zhu who hadn't met yet. The emperor was worried that his abnormal behavior would put Mr. Zhu in danger, so he wanted to go back, but he couldn't give up, so he made the abnormal move just now. The wind was blowing fiercely outside, but Uncle Chang, Qilixiang's boss, slept very soundly. He dreamed that he was holding a gold brick in his arms, surrounded by brilliant yellow gold, and the boss of Yipinju was working as his clerk. He was looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, but he was suddenly shaken awake.

Thinking it was his concubine, he muttered unhappily, while reaching out to touch it, the hand he touched had thick joints and was as cold as ice, and he immediately woke up shivering. Although the person standing in front of the couch was scary, but for some reason, Uncle Chang's attention was all on the other person standing in front of the window. It's just a faint shadow, but even in the dark night, it is like a bright pearl that cannot be ignored. Uncle Chang was about to cry out in fright, but his voice disappeared in his mouth. There is a kind of person in the world, who can make people awe-inspiring by keeping silent, but also can make people feel at ease.

The visitors came late at night uninvited, and logically speaking, "either a thief or a bandit".But because of that shadow, Uncle Chang didn't worry about his life. The people in front of the bed seemed to be very dissatisfied with Uncle Chang's neglect of him, with a light shake of his hand, the blade rested on Uncle Chang's neck. Uncle Chang felt a chill rushing forward, and finally shifted his gaze to the person in front of the bed. The visitor covered his face with a cloak and stared at him coldly, "I don't want money or life, I ask a question, and you answer."

Uncle Chang blinked his eyes. The visitor moved the sword away a little, "Is Mr. Zhu a man or a woman?" "Woman, although everyone outside thinks she is a man, she is actually a little girl." "What's your real name?" "Yunge, the cloud of Baiyun, the song of singing, she told me so. I don't know if it's her real name or not." Uncle Chang seemed to see the long shadow in front of the window swaying. The man who was forcing him with the sword didn't ask any more questions, and the room was dead silent. After a long time. A cold voice sounded: "She...how is she...?" There are too many things suppressed in the voice, the simple two words "good", as heavy as life, as if thousands of years have passed: long, hard, painful, longing, joyful... Uncle Chang, who has long been used to seeing people's winks, can't tell this person's feelings this time. Should he answer in a good way or a bad way to please people more? While hesitating, the person in front of the bed said sadly, "Tell me the truth." "Yun Ge is fine. If the two elders want to find Yun Ge, turn left after going out and go straight. There are two courtyards next to each other. The older one is Liu Bingji's house, and the smaller one is Yun Ge's house." .” Liu Fuling silently turned and walked out the door. Yu An tapped Uncle Chang's head with his sword, "Sleep well, it's just a dream." Uncle Chang nodded desperately. The moment Yu An withdrew his sword, the man had already floated outside the door, his movements were as swift as a ghost. Uncle Chang rubbed his eyes in disbelief, shivered and retracted the quilt, closed his eyes and murmured, "Nightmare, nightmare, all nightmare." When he came, he was galloping all the way, but at this time he found it as he wished, Liu Fuling instead walked slowly step by step. Under the emperor's seeming indifference, there was something sad and joyful. Yu An originally wanted to remind the emperor that it was almost dawn and they should hurry up, but he felt that the emperor was strange, so he chose to accompany the emperor silently, walking slowly step by step. "Yu An, what the hell is God thinking? I have already eaten her cooking, and you suggested that I call her into the palace, but I..." But it was because I felt a bosom friend in my heart, and because I respected cooking. I don't want to cook, so I just want to let her be free.There is also Ganquan Palace, I actually ordered her to be driven out of Ganquan Palace, no wonder Yu An couldn't find out who was singing after no matter how much she checked. Liu Fuling's voice was broken in his mouth. Yu An didn't expect that many years later, he would hear the emperor say "I" again out of the blue. He only felt sore in his heart, but he really didn't know how to answer the emperor's question. When the emperor was not the emperor, he was all "I, I" in private. Once he wanted to do some tricks, he would call him "Brother Yu" with a pleading face, and force him to do trouble together in a rogue manner.He was so frightened that he kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy: "Your Highness, don't shout anymore, if someone overhears you, ten slaves are not enough to kill." In order for His Highness not to call him "Brother", he had no choice but to agree to everything. Then...it became "I". One word can make the mother and child farewell, and the world will change suddenly. All the warmth disappeared, only a cold dragon chair was left. Although it is luxurious, it is not comfortable at all, and it is on the verge of falling, and it may fall to death at any time. "She has been in Chang'an for more than a year. In the princess mansion, we are only separated by a wall, and in the Ganquan palace, we are only a few steps away. In this small but not small city of Chang'an, how many times have we missed it? "Liu Fuling's hoarse voice was not so much a question, but a deep helplessness. Yu An couldn't answer. At this moment, he already understood that Yun Ge was the person the emperor had been waiting for since he was twelve years old. He already knew the position that Yun Ge occupied in the emperor's heart. For so many years, day by day, month by month, year by year, he has seen everything in his eyes. No one understands the emperor's waiting better than him, and no one understands the emperor's persistence better than him. During the day, no matter how much the emperor has been wronged by Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang, as long as he stands on the platform of the gods and looks at the starry sky, everything will calm down. Because lowering taxes and mitigating penalties touched the interests of the rich and powerful families, the implementation of the reform was difficult, but no matter how much resistance was encountered, the emperor would go on unswervingly as long as he finished rewarding the stars. Because of Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang's arrangements, when the emperor was thirteen years old, he was forced to make Shangguan's younger sister, who was less than six years old, the queen. But the emperor of the Han Dynasty, because of a promise, has never slept with the queen, nor has he had any women. At the age of 21, let alone a group of wives and concubines, even children should be quite old. If it is an ordinary family, the child can already herd cattle and cut pig grass; if it is a wealthy family, the child can already shoot arrows, ride a horse, and even fight with brothers. Because it is related to the survival of the country, the Tian family has always had the most important descendants. The first emperor had his first woman at the age of twelve, and the other princes reached the age of fourteen or five. . But the emperor has never even had a woman in bed. The emperor can't fight against everyone, can't fight against fate, but he sticks to his promise in his own way. After squeezing for a long time, Yu An finally managed to say: "God, didn't the emperor let the emperor find it? Good things take time, as long as you find it, everything will be fine in the future." A smile slowly appeared on Liu Fuling's lips, although it was still bitter, it was genuine joy: "You are right, I found her." Speaking of the last sentence, Liu Fuling's pace suddenly quickened. Yu An couldn't help but feel that his steps became lighter. When he arrived at the house pointed by Uncle Chang, Yu An just wanted to knock on the door. Liu Fuling stopped him: "I'll knock on the door myself." But he stood in front of the door for a long time without moving. Yu An chuckled softly and said, "If the emperor is feeling timid, the slave will come." Liu Fuling laughed at himself before knocking on the door. Because of something on his mind, Xu Pingjun only took a few naps a night. Liu Bingji next to him seemed to have a lot of worries, and kept turning over. Although it was very light, but because Xu Pingjun was just pretending to be asleep, Xu Pingjun knew every time he was tossed and turned. Liu Bing did not fall asleep until midnight. But Xu Pingjun couldn't lie down anymore, so he simply put on his clothes quietly and started to work. I was chopping chicken for food when I suddenly heard a knock on the door next door. She hurriedly put down the knife and went to the gate of the yard to listen carefully. The knock on the door was not loud, as if it was afraid of frightening the people in the house, it was just a sound that people could just hear, but it kept ringing persistently for so long that even a fool would know that there was no one in the house, but the knock on the door kept ringing with.No one seemed to answer the door, and the voice would ring forever. Xu Pingjun glanced at the room, and could only open the door, gently cover the courtyard door, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you looking for?" Liu Fuling's fists landed in front of the door, Yu An stepped forward and made a bow: "Madam, let's find Miss Yunge." Xu Pingjun also knew everyone Yun Ge knew in Chang'an City, but at this moment they were two complete strangers: "Do you know Yun Ge?" Yu An said with an apologetic smile, "My son knows Yun Ge, may I ask where Miss Yun Ge has gone?" Xu Pingjun only saw Liu Fuling's profile, but only one profile was also very impressive, which made Xu Pingjun awe-inspiring, so he decided to tell the truth: "Yun Ge has already left Chang'an." Liu Fuling suddenly turned around and stared at Xu Pingjun: "What did you say?" Xu Pingjun only felt that the other party's eyes were like lightning, not angry and prestige, he was startled, staggered back a few steps, and leaned against the door panel: "Yun Ge left Chang'an last night, she said she was homesick, so... ..." Xu Pingjun opened his mouth, unable to speak. I was overwhelmed by this person's aura just now, so I didn't dare to take a closer look.Only now did he realize that although his eyes were completely different from those of the sick, those eyes... had a half-seven similarity. Yu An waited for Xu Pingjun's "so", but Xu Pingjun just stared at the emperor. He hurriedly walked a few steps to block Xu Pingjun's sight: "Did Miss Yun say when she will come back?" Xu Pingjun came back to his senses and shook his head. Yu An asked unwillingly: "Madam, do you know where Miss Yun's home is?" Xu Pingjun shook his head again: "Her family seems to like to travel, and they have properties everywhere. I only know that this time she went to the Western Regions." Liu Fuling turned around, jumped on the horse, and shot out like a flying arrow. Yu An immediately got on his horse and gave chase. Xu Pingjun stared blankly at the direction where Liu Fuling disappeared. When he returned to the room, Liu Bing was about to get up, and while putting on his clothes, he asked, "Is anyone here so early?" Xu Pingjun lowered his head and was busy with the work in hand: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family is here to borrow tinder." From the hazy sky to the clear sky, only the sound of horseshoes can be heard. The wind gradually stopped, and the sunshine was exceptionally good, but Yu An felt that it was colder than last night. If he left yesterday, how can he catch up now? How could the emperor not understand? The tree shadows on both sides flew by. Galloping all the way, he has already run out of Chang'an. The sun began to move westward, but Liu Fuling continued to beat his horse. An old man wobbled down the mountain with firewood on his back. Because his ears were not working well, he didn't hear the sound of the horse's hooves, so he walked to the middle of the road with his head buried. When Liu Fuling turned a corner, he suddenly found him, already extremely dangerous. The old man froze there in fright. Fortunately, Liu Fuling was seated under a bloody horse, at the last moment, under Liu Fuling's order, he raised his front hooves, and Yu An turned around and pulled the old man away. The old man was unharmed, only the firewood on his back was scattered all over the ground. The old man's legs were weak for a while, and he was busy picking up the firewood on the ground. Liu Fuling jumped off the caravan to help the old man arrange firewood, but he had never done it before, and he couldn't understand how to use a hemp rope to make firewood of different sizes and bends tightly gathered together. The old man glared at Liu Fuling angrily: "Look at you, you don't know how to work, don't make trouble for me anymore." Liu Fuling stopped in embarrassment, looked at Yu An, Yu An immediately bowed his body and whispered: "Master has never taught this since I was a child, and neither will I." The two of them could only stand aside and watch an old man in his dying years work. The only thing they could do was to pick up the firewood that had fallen far away and hand it to the old man. In order to avoid embarrassment, Yu An asked the old man out of words: "Old man, you are so old, why do you still have to come out to collect firewood by yourself? Are your children not filial?" The old man snorted: "A full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry! Are you raising me? Don't you have to pay the court's taxes? My son is not idle all day long. Of course, parents can help. When it comes time to do it On the day of not moving, I hope that Lord Yan will accept people early, so as not to drag them down." Yu An was under one person in the palace and over a thousand people, even Huo Guang was very polite when he saw him, but today he was robbed by an old village man, and he dared not speak again in embarrassment. The old man packed up the dry firewood and was about to leave, so Yu An took out some money and offered it as an apology for being frightened.The old man didn't ask for all of them, he only picked up a few coins, and he was very embarrassed: "Buy some snacks for the grandson." He walked away with a hunched waist, "I see that you are not bad people, next time you ride a horse and watch the road." Yu An is used to people who are greedy, and most of them are rich people who still try to make money in different ways, or people who are in high positions but still want more power. Today, a poor old man only takes a few drops and shrinks back. , Yu An couldn't help but stare blankly at the old man's back. After a while, Yu An came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, do you want to continue chasing?" Liu Fuling looked at the direction where the old man disappeared, silently shook his head, got on his horse, and walked in the direction of Mount Li. Yun Ge, no matter how much I think about it, I can't go with you willfully.I have my people and I have my responsibilities. The stone in Yu An's heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will order someone to investigate. No matter how fast Miss Yun Ge is, she can't pass the court's checkpoint." Meng Jue suppressed the irritability in his heart, and went to see Liu Fuling early in the morning, hoping to go to Yunge as soon as possible after discussing the business. Although I don't know how Yun Ge knew about him and Huo Chengjun, but judging by her appearance, she must know, because only this matter can make her so decisive. Wait from early morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon. Meng Jue couldn't help being very unhappy when he waited on the left and didn't see him on the right. But the other party is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he has to rely on the other party now, so he has to wait. Liu Fuling didn't show up until dinner time. His face was exhausted, his brows were locked with loneliness, and his whole body was unspeakably haggard. As soon as he came in, before Meng Jue kowtowed, he said to Meng Jue: "I have delayed some important things." Although the words are light, there is no doubt of sincerity in the tone. The displeasure in Meng Jue's heart dissipated somewhat. While saluting, he said with a smile: "When the Caomin first arrived, someone had already told the Caomin that the emperor could only meet the Caomin in the morning and in the evening, so it is not too much to wait." Liu Fuling nodded lightly, ordered Meng Jue to sit down, and asked straight to the point: "Is there anything Huo Guang can't give you? What do you want from me?" Meng Jue was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Caomin wants the emperor to save Caomin's life." "What charges will Huo Guang give you?" Meng Jue said: "Rebellion. Mr. Huo has evidence of Cao Min's contacts with King Yan and Shangguan Jie." Liu Fuling stared at Meng Jue for a while, then asked calmly: "What's wrong with Huo Chengjun? I heard that she has outstanding looks, and Huo Guang is very partial to her, and I think she has a unique personality." Meng Jue smiled: "Not only is Cao Min not a noble person, but he is also a person who pursues power very much. But even if it is power, I am not used to accepting things imposed on me by others. If I want it, I will take it myself." Liu Fuling heard the word "forced", and was touched in his heart: "Since you came to see me, you must have already thought of a countermeasure." "Yes, if Mr. Huo recommends Caomin as an official, Caomin wants to ask the emperor to appoint Caomin as an advising doctor." Liu Fuling lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up: "I promise you. If you have something to do in the future, if it is not convenient to come to see me, you can find Yu An." Meng Jue stood up and sent Liu Fuling respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Yu Ansui walked behind Liu Fuling for a while, but couldn't hold back, and asked, "Your Majesty, this servant is dull. Huo Guang's character is cautious. Before he fully trusted Meng Jue, he would definitely not give him an important official position. It is definitely better than admonishing a doctor. The official position of our dynasty basically followed the pre-Qin system. There was no official position for advising a doctor in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It doesn’t seem like someone with power and desire would want it, can the emperor really trust him?” Liu Fuling said: "Firstly, although the official position of admonishing officials is low, when the father issued the "Edict of Guilt" to the whole world, he once said the purpose of setting up admonishing officials: "Outside of a hundred officials, within ten thousand people If there is a defect, there must be a regulation, and if there is a violation, there must be admonition. The gains and losses of the imperial court are all observant, and the benefits and diseases of the world are all spoken.' Meng Jue went to the words of the first emperor, and also wanted to use this to make Huo Guang dare not move him easily; second, Now the appointment of important officials in Chang'an City must go through Huo Guang's hands, it is really an important official position, Huo Guang will definitely not agree easily. Meng Jue has a thorough understanding of the situation in Chang'an City, and does not want to embarrass the emperor." After pondering for a while, Yu An seemed to realize something, and happily said to Liu Fuling: "No wonder Huo Guang can't use Meng Jue, so he can only kill him. Meng Jue is indeed a talent! Goujian, the king of the past, won Fan Li, so he just killed him." Having regained the Yue Kingdom, the Emperor now... Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Liu Fuling knew that Yu An tried his best to make him happy, but he... After regaining some energy, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he made a smile, glanced at Yu An, and said lightly: "If you haven't read the book well, don't make random comparisons." If you die, you will be cooked by running dogs; when the enemy country is destroyed, your advisers will be forgotten; those who make great contributions to the world will not be rewarded, and those who are famous will be defeated.' King Goujian of Yue is not a good king." Yu An was startled, and immediately fell to his knees: "The slave should die! Of course, the emperor..." "Okay, don't just kneel at every turn, you're not tired, I'm still tired, pass the meal on!" Yu An smiled and knelt down, then turned around and told the little eunuch to prepare meals. Although he had no appetite, because he hadn't eaten all day and had many memorials to read at night, Liu Fuling wanted to force himself to eat some. But seeing the dishes being served one after another, thinking of the person in the princess' mansion who wrote poems as dishes, and recalling the feeling of laughing with the cook when he solved the riddle and tasted the dishes, his heart sank like a lead, and he barely moved a few times. Chopsticks, unable to eat any more, hurriedly got up and went to the study. Military expenditures on the frontier, droughts in the north and floods in the south, implementation of tax reductions, discussions on changes in penalties, mutual impeachment among officials, movements of vassal kings, achievements of local officials in various state capitals, articles about court affairs by virtuous people... After reviewing the memorials one by one, the second watch has passed. Yu An served Liu Fuling back to the palace with a lantern. Once out of the palace gate, when I looked up, I realized that it was a starry night. I don't know if it's because of the wind that blew all night last night, but the sky tonight is so clean that there is not even a trace of cloud. The sky is as clear as dark blue crystal, and the stars are also extraordinarily bright. Liu Fuling couldn't help but stop, and looked up at the magnificent starry sky. Yu An secretly sighed. Just like in the past, he quietly stepped back a few steps and disappeared into the darkness, leaving Liu Fuling a piece of time and space that really only belonged to him. After a long time, Yu An came back again, and when he wanted to persuade Liu Fuling to rest, he heard Liu Fuling's voice was broken, as if he was talking. After listening carefully, I realized that I was reciting a poem, and it was just a few sentences over and over again: "Let's walk again and again, and we will be separated from the king. We are separated by more than ten thousand miles, and each is at the end of the world; the road is long and obstructive, and we will meet safely." Can you know?... The days of passing each other are far away, and the days of wearing clothes have slowed down...Thinking of you makes people grow old, and the years are suddenly too late..." Yu An deliberately stepped heavily, and his voice disappeared immediately. Liu Fuling turned around and walked towards the bedroom. The little eunuch was lighting a lantern in front, and Yu An followed behind. "Your Majesty, the servant has ordered people to carefully inspect all the checkpoints from Chang'an to the Western Regions." Liu Fuling gave a soft "hmm": "Be careful." "The slave understands. Also... the slave is incompetent. The captured assassin was seriously injured, had a high fever and was unconscious, so he has not received a confession. The only things found from her were a few empty purses. Without any clues to check his identity, the slave is worried that the assassin won't survive the next few days, and the clues may be broken..." Liu Fuling said lightly: "If you can't get it, forget it. In the situation last night, there was only one person who could know my whereabouts and was able to mobilize people to assassinate me in a short time, but he didn't really want to My life. Unless there is a dead end, he dare not act rashly in the current situation. Yesterday's assassination is more likely to be a temptation. Yu An, you must protect me, but now you must pay more attention to your own safety. If a person wants to To control a flying bird, what he needs to do most is to cut off every flying feather of the flying bird, so that the flying bird loses the ability to fly. And you are more important to me than the flying feathers are to the flying bird." Yu An's footsteps fluttered, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Don't worry, your majesty, this slave will always serve the emperor, and will serve the prince and grandson in the future, and help them train the slaves they want..." Liu Fuling's eyes dimmed. Yu An knew that he had said something wrong and immediately closed his mouth. Passing by a corner of the side hall, several eunuchs on duty at night huddled under the eaves and chatted quietly. Liu Fuling faintly heard a few words: "...It's funny...It hurts my eyes...Think it's poison...It's just some weird seasoning..." Voices and low laughter came in bursts. A flash of lightning flashed in Liu Fuling's mind, and his whole body froze suddenly. When she was young, Yun Ge took seasoning and sprinkled the officer's eyes. The pungent but non-toxic smoke from last night. That woman said that Yun Ge left Chang'an last night... last night? Things from the past and the present are mixed in my mind, and there are many divergences. Yu An thought that the emperor was displeased with the eunuch's laughter, so he immediately knelt down: "Your majesty, the servant is not effective in training his subordinates, so he will definitely..." Liu Fuling asked word by word: "Yu An, is the smoke last night seasoning?" Yu An was stunned for a moment, and ordered the little eunuch to call Qixi, the eunuch who was chatting, over for questioning. The eunuch who came was the one who chased Meng Jue and Yun Ge last night: "Reporting to the emperor, because there was a fire later, there was no ashes to check, and the servants were not sure what the irritating smoke was. The fragrant smoke was indeed Poison, and it is a poison formulated by a master druggist." Liu Fuling asked: "What's the matter with the seasoning you just mentioned?" "Back to the emperor, an assassin took a bunch of messy seasonings and sprinkled us, yelling that it was poison, so the servants joked in private that the smoke at the beginning might also be made of seasonings." Liu Fuling staggered, holding on to the jade railing beside him, his voice was so hoarse as to reveal despair: "Was the assassin who sprinkled you with the seasoning...was...killed?" From the emperor's abnormal reaction, Yu An understood a little bit, his face turned pale, and he kicked Qixi: "Why didn't you tell me about these things?" Qixi endured the pain, and urgently said: "The slave didn't take it as an important matter. Those assassins were covered tightly with cloaks. In the dark night, there was thick smoke, and they were still crying at that time. The slave couldn't tell who was who." , and I didn’t see who threw our seasoning.” Yu An shouted: "Get out!" He took out a few purses from his pocket and handed them to Liu Fuling, with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, according to the report from the subordinate in charge of interrogating the statement, the assassin locked in the dungeon is... a woman. This slave is really an idiot, see Even the embroidery on the purse didn't think about that at all, although it is indeed difficult to connect Miss Yunge with the assassin, but... the slave is really an idiot!" Yu An slapped himself twice, "Your Majesty , Miss Yun Ge is afraid that she will be in the dungeon." Liu Fuling took the purse, glanced at a purse with delicately embroidered white clouds, and his heart shrank suddenly. Put the purse to the nose and smell it, the smell of various seasonings. How many women carry spices instead of spices in their purses?He clutched his purse tightly and said hoarsely, "What are you waiting for?" Yu An didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately ran ahead to lead the way. In order to prevent prisoners from escaping, the stairs leading to the dungeon were built very narrow and winding. Because it is underground, there is no sunshine all year round, and the ventilation is not good. There is a sour smell in the damp and cold dungeon. Every time Liu Fuling took a step, he felt his heart shrink. Yun Ge, Yun Ge, I actually locked you up in such a place? It turned out that I seriously injured you? From last night to now, the whole day, let you lie here waiting to die? Liu Fuling... What are you doing? Yu An said almost like a mosquito: "Because I wanted to take a confession, I ordered a doctor to come and take care of the wound. I locked it in the best cell and took a special felt pad..." The more Yu An explained, the more he lost his strength.When he saw people receiving "special" care in the "best" cell, he immediately shut his mouth. A lifeless woman is wrapped in a thick blanket. The black hair was dragged in the mud, and the face was pale, not even a trace of blood on the lips. Liu Fuling knelt beside her, brushing her cheek with a cold hand. A hot face...not...not cold... Luckily it's not cold... But it turned out to be hot... Yunge?Yunge? I touched around her neck, although I didn't find the hair tie, but the bamboo whistle was an old acquaintance. Liu Fuling groaned, and carefully hugged Yunge into his arms, just like when he was a child. Yun Ge's shoe on one foot was soaked in blood, while the shoe on the other foot went to nowhere, only a slender foot full of mud was covered in straw. Liu Fuling wiped it with his sleeve, but the bloody mud couldn't be wiped clean no matter what. On the snow camel in the Tianshan Mountains, the little girl smiled like a flower. Her snow-white slender feet were half-clad with pearl embroidered shoes, swinging under the green skirt. His hand holding the bamboo whistle was tightly clenched into a fist. With too much force, the bamboo whistle was embedded in the palm, blood was leaking between the fingers. Yunge!Yunge! Nine years later, we actually met again like this!
