The Powerful Eunuch and the Delicate Beauty

Chapter 343 Ambitious (four thousand)
"So according to the rules of Yangzhou, couples who are about to get married cannot meet each other for the first ten days."

Eh?Is there such a rule in Yangzhou?

When Su Ruan raised her step and was about to take a step inside, she heard the little skinny man add another sentence.

"It probably means...if we meet, it will hinder the long-term marriage."

Her feet stopped suddenly, and Su Ruan subconsciously took a step back.

One of them is in the inner room and the other is at the hall door.

After a while, Su Ruan thought about it and asked in a low voice.

"Then we don't meet and have a conversation like this, is it okay?"

Listening to the ghost's cautious tone outside, Su Shen's thin lips burst into a low smile. Is it because the ghost is so nervous because, like him, he wants too much for a long time?

Well, the little skinny guy seems to be laughing, so there should be no problem.

Inexplicably, Su Ruan raised her heart and felt relieved, suddenly she felt a little silly, and when she thought about the actions of the little skinny man just now, she was also silly and cute.

So she also smiled.

This made Yan Er and Yan San, who were protecting Lord Hou in the dark, look at each other first, and then left quietly.

In the room, Su Ruan first laughed enough, but when she thought about the purpose of her coming here tonight, her face suddenly turned cold again.

"Little skinny man, I came here because of one person. Didn't I mention a female ghost in red to you before?"

After a pause, Su Ruan told everything about the Xueyan family or Liang Qi recently.

"Ruan Ruan, since the Xueyan family has already come to Yanjiao, then you don't need to investigate any further, and leave the rest to me." Su Shen's voice was a little deep.

Because although he couldn't figure out Xue Yan's thoughts for a while, there was one thing that couldn't be more obvious, that is, that woman was very dangerous.

Su Ruan frowned, and just about to refuse, the little skinny man spoke again.

This time, the tone was rather shy.

"Because I want to be called Ruan Ruan, and stay at home and wait for me to marry."

Come on, although it is clear that this is the little skinny man's routine, but after thinking about it, Su Ruan still can't figure out what the Xueyan family wants to do, so stay at home, so let's stay at home.

……

At this moment, the palace is filled with smoke.

When Yi Luo entered the Taoist temple, the emperor inside had no expression on her before.

Just because people who practice the Tao need to give up love.

"Yi Luo, why are you here?" Emperor Jing Yuan frowned when he saw the appearance of the person who came in, but then looked at the red eyes of the other party, and suppressed his displeasure.

"Your Majesty, I just came here to beg you, stop listening to the words of that liar Taoist priest, who said that you can rejuvenate your youth and live forever, but your Majesty, you are clearly not looking good right now."

When Emperor Jing Yuan heard the last two words were not good, his teeth were itchy with anger.

But he is not Yi Luo who speaks angry, he is the villain who tampered with his pill two days before getting angry.

If it wasn't for him...thinking about it, his hair would have already started to turn black, and he was full of energy, and even the wrinkles on his skin had been reduced a lot, and Emperor Jing Yuan's big hands on the table creaked.

No, he must be young and live long!

"Yi Luo, you go back first, or you can..." Emperor Jing Yuan, who originally wanted to ask Yi Luo to stay, thought about it, but immediately changed the subject.

Because he thought of what the national teacher said, if you want to seek Dan to practice Taoism, you need to be pure-hearted and ascetic.

"Yi Luo, just go back and wait for me obediently."

As soon as Emperor Jing Yuan said these words, big tears fell from Yi Luo's eyes.

"Your Majesty, if Miss Yi Luo doesn't say anything, the slaves can't bear it anymore. Your Majesty, you don't know that when you ask questions every day, the other concubines in the palace often call Miss Yi Luo over. Not to mention how wronged I have been, but the servants are not blind, so I can't tell that the girl has been wronged."

"Crash!"

The maid who spoke heard the sound of porcelain breaking, plopped, and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, it's the slave who is talking too much, it's the slave who is talking too much..."

Emperor Jing Yuan didn't look at the maid who was kowtowed and bleeding, he got up and looked straight at Yi Luo who was standing there.

"Why are you crying? If you have a grievance, you should have told me earlier, but I didn't consider it properly and wronged you. After a while, I will ask Sheng Denian to go back with you, and I will give you a place that you deserve."

Yi Luo raised her head, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, she wanted her head, she wanted to refuse.

But before she could speak, she was stopped by the emperor in front of her.

"Ilo, now be obedient."

This time, Yi Luo couldn't stay any longer, and her Eunuch Sheng took her all the way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Because when Emperor Jingyuan built the Taoist temple and lived in the Taoist temple, she had no title or her own palace, so she has been living in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Then she heard Sheng Denian read the imperial edict.

"Congratulations to Noble Concubine Xi, congratulations to Noble Concubine Xi."

With a smile on his face, Sheng Denian handed over the imperial decree, not forgetting to say a word respectfully.

"Your Majesty has always been thinking about the imperial concubine, so now that the imperial concubine has taken charge of the Phoenix seal, if anyone dares to offend, the imperial concubine can directly deal with it."

Hearing that, Yi Luo's pretty face was flushed just right.

"Eunuch Sheng is really joking. There is no one in this palace who bullies me. It's just that the maids around me are ignorant and talk about it casually. There is also the position of noble concubine. Since it is what His Majesty wants to give, I will accept it, but... ..."

Yi Luo paused for a while, and then continued firmly.

"Eunuch Sheng has to go back and say, I absolutely don't want this concubine ceremony, because His Highness is now devoting himself to cultivating the Tao, so there should be fewer things that waste people and money."

After all, what she is looking for today is a position that can be in charge of the harem, although it is only the position of a noble concubine.

But now the Queen is confined to the cold palace, and the position of the Phoenix is ​​useless, so she, the noble concubine, is naturally the master of the harem.

So the master knows, will he praise her?

Yi Luo's heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat.

Eunuch Sheng responded with a smile, but before leaving, he turned his head carefully and looked back, still standing there watching Concubine Xi who watched him leave.

He really felt that His Majesty was confused now, apart from her appearance and memories that could be matched, this Concubine Xi was nothing like Concubine Wan who used to be sincere in everything.

But thinking about where His Majesty is now, the whisk in Sheng Denian's hands trembled slightly.

He looked up at the ever-changing sky above his head, only to feel that the rain was about to come.

……

Two days later, it happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival on May [-]th, when Su Ruan passed the street, he could smell the tangy smell of realgar wine.

She just felt a little bit like a lifetime away, after all, it was at this time last year that her upper body was sacrificed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.

Then she straightened her face, because she would come out today, because Hong Yi, who had been somewhat relieved, came to her, saying that she had found Xue Yan's hiding place.

It's just that when she looked at the bleak gazebo in front of her, she really didn't realize that there would be people living in it.

"Miss, if there are real people living here, will this pavilion still be an illusion?"

While talking, Xia Yu thought of the previous experience of suddenly entering the illusion, and her face suddenly turned pale.

On the other hand, Su Ruan seemed to be reminded.

In the past few days, her eyes are bright red every day, so she has completely forgotten about Xue Yan's ability to create illusions
Thinking of this, she glanced at the gazebo in front of her again, but after a while, she still didn't see any flaws.

So... Su Ruan took a step forward, and from the corner of her eye, Xia Yu followed.

She turned her head, a little helpless.

"You don't know how to break the illusion, so why do you follow in here? Besides, this illusion is just a trick to put it bluntly, so you just stay outside and wait for me."

Xia Yu immediately wanted to shake her head, but Miss Bisheng's next words made her unable to refute.

Su Ruan raised her eyebrows.

"What? I really want to follow in and make trouble, and tell me to turn back and save you like last time?"

After a while, Su Ruan stepped into the illusion alone as he wished.

In fact, it's not that she wants to take risks, it's purely because she has slowly figured out something in the past two days.

For example, regardless of the Xueyan family, what was Liang Qi's relationship in the past.

But based on her current actions, she must be ambitious, coupled with the sudden dispute she created, Su Ruan intuitively felt that she still had to figure it out.

Because it's about her current home, and her future home with the little skinny guy.

It's just that Su Ruan looked up at the scene that had changed in front of him, and quickly dodged behind a big tree.

Then she looked at the small bridge and flowing water in front of her, as well as the peach trees in the hut, and felt a burst of familiarity.

Where has she seen such a place?
A flash of light flashed in her mind, and Su Ruan immediately remembered that she had seen it in Xue Yan's previous illusion.

So what is in front of her is an illusion?Or the real world.

……

Just when Su Ruan entered the illusion, Su Shen in Changxinhou's mansion looked at the secret document in his hand, and the eyebrows and eyes exposed outside the mask showed a strong hostility that hadn't appeared for a long time.

hehe!It turned out that the tragedy of his family was not only caused by King Zhou's love, but another level of calculation was involved.

Tangyuan, who was sleeping quietly in the house, seemed to sense her brother's displeasure at the moment, and poked her head out cautiously.

He didn't know what was going on at first, but he saw the paper in his brother's hand sharply.

So he moved his soul more carefully, and when he saw what was written on the letter, his round ghostly eyes were full of shock.

It turned out that the king of Zhou was not actually his family's real enemy, and the person who tricked his family into a tragic death was actually the emperor's former concubine.

As for the reason, what was written in the letter was even more mysterious.

It is said that it may be because the person whom De concubine loves is Zhou Wang, but the person whom Zhou king loves is Concubine Wan, so De concubine enters the palace to design Concubine Wan everywhere, and finally killing Concubine Wan does not count.

She even took revenge with King Zhou.

Asking people to kill Concubine Wan's parents and adoptive parents and family, and also abolish Concubine Wan's parents and children, all these methods and bewitching are to make King Zhou feel ashamed to see Concubine Wan.

Seeing this, Tangyuan couldn't help but think of it.

He was there when King Zhou died that year. When King Zhou heard Emperor Jing Yuan say that Concubine Wan had never given up on King Zhou even if she became a noble concubine. She had actually waited for King Zhou.

But because King Zhou's shadow was hidden too deeply, she thought that King Zhou had no intention of treating her, so she gradually fell in love with the emperor who was good to her.

At that moment, the king of Zhou who heard this felt as if he was struck by thunder, and even Emperor Jing Yuan couldn't control the stabbing blade, and he didn't dodge even half of it.

But when Emperor Jing Yuan was about to stab him for the second time, King Zhou vomited blood.

"Brother Huang, don't kill me, keep me alive, I don't want to go down to see Minghui so early, she definitely doesn't want to see me, so even if I deserve to die, I have to live longer , it would be even better if you could torture me every day.”

What a madman!Tang Yuan couldn't help but shrank her head, only to feel that the concubine De mentioned in the secret document was simply insane.

How could such a series of unconscionable things happen.

However, Tang Yuan looked at his frowning and hostile brother, and wanted to appease him very distressed.

But his hand just slipped through his brother's arm.

When he was depressed, he heard his brother say.

"I'm fine with the glutinous rice balls, I just feel a little uncomfortable, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Su Shen glanced at the secret document in his hand again.

A sneer slowly formed on his lips, the second half of the confidential document was added by the secret guard who investigated the events of the year.

But he felt that Debi, the former Liangqi, and the current Xueyan family had done far more than that.

Perhaps there is truth in these speculations, but there must be more conspiracies.

For example, Xue Yan's current actions all show that she wants to hold both Tu Wu and Da Yuan in her hands.

Hehe, the sneer on his lips deepened.

It's just that such an appetite is a bit too big.

"Master Hou." Yan Yi who came in, thought of what the secret guard had come to report, with a flustered expression on his face.

Even Su Shen seemed to know something, and stood up quickly.

"What's the matter? But what happened to Ruanruan?"

Yan nodded, then shook his head again.

"The subordinates don't know what happened to Miss Su. The subordinates only know that Miss Su took Xia Yu to a forest outside Yanjiao City, but Xia Yu blew a secret whistle."

After Yan Yi finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind passing by his side, and when he raised his head again, there was no shadow of Lord Hou in front of him.

……

In the small forest outside Yanjiao City, Su Ruan walked back and forth a few times on the small bridge and flowing water.

Only then did I realize that it was a fusion of fantasy and reality.

That is to say, there are both images in the illusion and things that really exist.

For example, the real fragrance of the flowers she is holding in her hand now, and the flowing brook, it is an illusion, because she looked at the brook carefully, and found that every time the water splashed on it was exactly the same.

Not at all affected by the wind and grass.

So Su Ruan, who discovered this fact, was surprised except for a little surprise and fear.

However, although she doesn't understand illusions, she feels that Xue Yan's ability to create such illusions should be due to her high skills.

Thinking of this, Su Ruan was distracted from the creek in front of him, so where is Xue Yan's now?

　The next chapter will almost reveal the role of Xue Yanshi.
