All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

A night without dreams.

When Shen Lingxi woke up, she saw the profile of Chu Yan sleeping peacefully.

This trip to Yunjiang was full of dangers, and Shen Lingxi did not bring her maid with her.

There are many people in Yunjiang Palace, and she didn't pile up high brocade quilts on the bed for two like she did in the East Palace last night.

Fortunately, Xu is a habit that has been formed in the past few days, Shen Lingxi is glad that she is not in her sleep and leans towards the edge of the bed again.

The morning sun shines through the window sills, sprinkles on the light blue curtain, and casts a layer of jade-like light on Chu Yan's sharp-edged face.

It gives people a feeling of "beauty is by my side, and the years are quiet" for no reason.

His breathing was long and he was obviously in a deep sleep.

I don't know if it's Shen Lingxi's illusion, the light blue color under his eyelids these days seems to have faded a little overnight.

"Knock, knock..."

Suddenly there was a very light knock on the door.

Shen Lingxi saw that Chu Yan's eyelids moved slightly, which was a sign of waking up. She subconsciously closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and pretended to be still asleep.

There was the rustling sound of hair touching brocade beside the pillow, and Shen Lingxi felt a gentle gaze fall on her face.

Just in between breaths, the man's slightly callused and cool fingertips gently pinned the broken hair curling around her face behind her ears.

During the silence, that gaze, for some reason, suddenly had a hint of persecution.

Shen Lingxi was a little nervous unknowingly, she clenched her fingers tightly, her heart was pounding.

"Knock, knock..."

Just at this time, there was another very light knock on the door.

Chu Yan sighed invisibly, sat up, lifted the quilt from the bed, and walked out of the bed curtain.

Shen Lingxi opened her eyes and watched him put on his outer robe and walk out of the room through the light blue curtain, heaving a sigh of relief for no reason.

But the sound of the rapid and pounding heartbeat seemed to have an aftertaste, and it did not subside for a long time.

Liu Meiren floated in from outside the bed tent, and saw Shen Lingxi's blushing cheeks, and joked with a smile: "Let me just say, your Fengshui in the East Palace is not good, look, it's only been a few days since you came out, and it's like glue again .”

Shen Lingxi: ...

"Early in the morning, you came here alone, but you have something to do with me?" She hurriedly changed the subject, for fear that Liu Meiren would say any more bullshit words.

It is rare for Liu Meiren to ask in a serious tone: "How can your medicine palace have a letter from our former emperor, empress, and uncle Mei? Could it be that after the former dynasty fell, the poisoned queen did not die, but ran to your cloud country?" coming?"

A little doubt appeared in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

The last emperor and empress of the previous dynasty was named Tai Shu Mei.

Shen Lingxi had heard of this person's "great achievements" from Liu Mei's mouth.

The Suohunjing underground palace was built by this person back then.

And Liu Meiren and the others, also because of her order, became the buried daughters-in-law.

Liu Meiren saw the bewilderment in her eyes, and urged: "You wash and eat first, and I will take you to a place."

Shen Lingxi knew that since she said so, she must have made a special discovery, so she nodded and went to change clothes.

Knowing Shen Lingxi's long-standing preferences, Yun Wang asked people to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.

Shen Lingxi didn't see Chu Yan's figure, and only after asking, did she find out that she and Xiao Rui had gone to the school field early in the morning to order soldiers.

Yun Wang, the king of Yunjiang who was not welcomed by the big families in Yunjiang, did not accompany him.

Shen Lingxi saw that he was having breakfast with her in a leisurely manner, and thought for a while and said: "I heard from the maid yesterday that the current head of the Si family is Cousin Si Zhuo, have you contacted him? If he can come forward, To help you, you don't have to be so passive. If you need, I can write him a letter..."

She hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Yun with a wild smile, "Sister, you don't have to worry about me."

His lacquer-like eyes looked at Shen Lingxi seriously: "If I have the ability to take this seat, no matter if the Si family or other aristocratic families, they will take the initiative to join hands with me. On the other hand, if I don't have the ability, I will find They, given the current situation in Yunjiang, they may not come forward to help."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "What's more, the Si family chose to be wise and protect their lives six years ago...Now that sister is back, there is no need to take them to heart."

"I have my own way to deal with the current situation. Elder sister must be busy with other important matters. Go and do your own work. Don't worry about me. I have said that I will be my sister's backing, and I will definitely do it. "Yun said with a smile.

Shen Lingxi knew his temperament, she had been stubborn since she was a child, she nodded and said no more.

After all, she is in Yunjiang now, so there won't be too much trouble.

The place Liu Meiren wants to take Shen Lingxi to is the Medicine Palace not far from Lingxi Palace.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Yun Huang, Shen Lingxi invited him to go with him.

On the way, she thought about what she knew about Yaogong before, and asked directly: "I heard that five years ago, before His Royal Highness's class teacher returned to the court, he ordered people to destroy the holy mountain, and all the remnants of Yaogong died in the mountain. Is this true? ?”

Yun Huang looked at her expression secretly, and after a few breaths of silence, Fang slowly said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing. The destruction of the holy mountain was indeed an order from His Highness himself, and it is said that the Chief Commander also died at that time. "

"I was still imprisoned at the time, so I didn't know the details. After I came back this time, I also heard about this matter, and specifically checked the files from that year... It was confirmed that it was His Highness's handwriting, and it cannot be faked."

Shen Lingxi's breathing was slightly stagnant.

Even though it had been predicted before, this would be the result.

But when she really heard the truth, there was still an unspeakable dullness in her heart.

"The medicine palace means a lot to my sister." Yun Huang looked at her quietly and asked, "What is my sister going to do? Your Highness, he..."

"I don't know." Shen Lingxi replied truthfully, "I believe he will not issue this order for no reason. I will find out the reason."

"What if you can't accept his reason?" Yun Wang asked curiously.

This time, Shen Lingxi didn't speak again.

Even so, Yun Wang looked at her side face, but she could understand it, and she didn't have a choice to say it.

Even now, she has changed her body, but in her bones, she is still the Yun Xi who has a clear distinction between love and hate, and never sloppy in doing things.

After all, those people in Yaogong were bought by her with one life.

She could not accept Chu Yan's reason for ordering the destruction of the holy mountain.

Then the two of them may only become a short-lived "contract couple" in this life.

Yun Lu's eyes drooped slightly.

It seems that his actions in Yunjiang need to be accelerated.

He knew Chu Yan's heart for her.

He knew even more how ruthless Chu Yan's methods were under his seemingly indifferent appearance.

No matter what, he must never let what happened six years ago happen again.

Shen Lingxi followed Liu Meiren into the long-lost medicine palace.

Compared with the clean and tidy Lingxi Palace, the Medicine Palace has been left unattended for a long time, and it has become dilapidated.

There are mottled spider webs everywhere.

The rickety furniture and medicine stoves in the hall were vaguely the same as when Emperor Li brought someone to break in.

Liu Meiren led Shen Lingxi, turned left and right, and stopped in front of a Duobao Pavilion in the side hall.

She pointed to the wall behind Duobao Pavilion.

"Here, the things are in this secret room. However, I can enter through the wall. Do you know where the mechanism of the secret room is?" She asked curiously.

I've been waiting for a long time, the next two chapters will be released in succession, I'm still working on them, it will be later, let's see them tomorrow morning
