The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 71 Hidden Secrets

And after this voice, no one in the hall responded for a long time.

Just when Long Xilan was puzzled by Li Huai's words, there was a trembling voice.

"Huai'er, that incident is over, don't mention it again from now on!"

What is that thing?Was it 15 years ago that someone used a wooden man to curse Li Huai?Or something else?
"Mother Concubine, today's matter of wooden people is not a child's play. How can Mother Concubine put her own safety at risk?" Li Huai was obviously very persistent about what he asked.

Because of her foot injury, Concubine Yu leaned on the couch, she stretched out her hand to hold her son's hand firmly and said, "Huai'er, you just need to remember that everything Mother Concubine does is for your own good!"

Xi Lan was worried that Li Huai would come out, or that someone would come in suddenly and found her eavesdropping, so she withdrew from the hall.

When Liu Jin saw her coming out, she realized that she had deserted, so she hurried over to please her.

"Is the princess looking for the prince?"

She replied: "The lord seems to have something to tell the concubine mother, so the concubine will not go in and disturb her!"

Liu Jin nodded hurriedly with a smile, and flattered her: "The princess is really understanding, and my prince is also very lucky."

Liu Jin followed her to the bottom of the stairs, and she didn't want to make a detour, so she asked directly: "Eunuch Liu, you have served the prince by his side since childhood, right?"

The other party replied: "Yes, the slave entered the palace after purging at the age of 12, and followed the prince!"

Presumably, Liu Jin is also very familiar with Ning Wanzhuo.

But what she wants to ask now is not about Ning Wanzui, what is more urgent is the wooden mantra.

She asked: "Then, does Eunuch Liu know about the wooden man with the prince's name on it?"

As soon as Liu Jin heard her bring up that old incident, her face became more serious and cautious.

"Unfortunately, the young one came to serve the prince not long after that incident happened. Regarding that incident, he just listened to the old man in the palace and spread rumors."

Long Xilan's expression changed a little. I heard that the prince and princess in this palace will have two eunuchs of the same age when they are around six years old. Liu Jin actually waited by Li Huai's side only after Li Huai was 15 years old.

So she asked subconsciously: "Is the father-in-law who served by the prince's side still in this palace now?"

Liu Jin lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to answer this question.

She coughed lightly and reminded: "This concubine is already the prince's concubine, and everything is naturally for the prince's good. If the father-in-law is unwilling to say more, this concubine will not force it, but..."

She deliberately lengthened the ending, waiting for the other party to change her mind.

"Princess, I only know one thing. I heard that the father-in-law who served by the prince's side was involved in the case of the wooden man!"

In other words, he was executed 15 years ago!That's why Liu Jin was replaced to serve!
The doubts in her heart were like these palace shadows, becoming more and more confused and incomprehensible.

"My lord!" Liu Jin saw Li Huai coming out of the palace at this moment, and called out in a guilty conscience.

Long Xilan turned her head, her expression had changed. "My lord!"

Li Huai walked over, still preoccupied.

She stretched out her hand cautiously to pull Li Huai's hand, fearing that he would reject him, and when her fingertips touched the back of his hand, Li Huai had already lightly held her back.

She pursed her lips and smiled, while trying to adapt to the warmth of his hands, she asked, "My lord, you seem to have something on your mind?"

The two walked slowly towards the garden path ahead.

Originally, he had already integrated into the garden, in the artistic conception of Linchun, Li Huai suddenly said: "Just now I heard you ask about Liu Jin's past 15 years ago... I hope you don't mention it again in the future!"

Her heart tightened, the person who mentioned that matter to her just now was Li Huai himself!

It seems that Li Huai did not go against Concubine Yu's wishes.

This made her unable to understand, what is it that Yu Guifei wants to hide, even more important than her life?
"If the prince wishes Jin Hua not to do anything, Jin Hua will naturally not go his own way, but Jin Hua believes that this is not the prince's sincerity."

Li Huai stopped walking, and it was hard to hide his helplessness in his deeply furrowed eyebrows.

He is not a person who has no opinion and blindly obeys his mother's wishes. Over the years, why does he want to find out everything, but some things, once uncovered, will cause irreparable damage.

In this deep palace and imperial court, how many secrets are buried like this!

"Sincere?" His eyes fell on Xi Lan's delicate and clean face, and he asked slightly bitterly: "Jin Hua, have you seen my sincerity?"

She froze, her eyes gradually moved away, and she looked at the shadow of the backlit pavilion in the west under the setting sun.

Thinking of that night, when she carried the seriously injured Li Huai off the top of Xuefeng, he vaguely called Ning Wanzhu's name.

Presumably that is—his sincerity, right?

The corners of her lips were forced upwards, and she thought: I have naturally seen your sincerity, but it's not for me!

After being so sad and sad, she took a deep breath and said solemnly: "If the prince can't find his true heart, then brocade painting, come and help him find it!"

Li Huai was stunned, no woman would say such bold words in front of him, right?
"My lord—my lord!" Liu Jin ran over from the side path at this moment, panting from exhaustion.

"Could it be that the Taoist priest Fang Du of the White Lotus Temple has arrived?" Li Huai calculated the time, the people who went out to invite people in the palace should also invite that Taoist priest!
He remembered that the man was a bit old, and Fang Du would always be invited to come to the palace when there were major festivals, and it was a bit wise to listen to his father.

Liu Jin nodded, then shook his head again.

Li Huai was puzzled. "Is it really?"

The father-in-law didn't bother to catch his breath anymore, and hurriedly replied: "The person who went to the White Lotus Temple in the palace to invite Taoist Fang Du came back, but it wasn't Fang Du who invited, it was..."

Long Xilan noticed that Liu Jin glanced at her inadvertently, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it Mr. Long who was invited from Prince Qu's mansion to practice in the Liyuan last time?"

Liu Jin clapped his hands together, and replied with a smile: "It's Mr. Long. This servant was waiting outside the hall just now. When I saw the emperor personally go to welcome that Mr. Long, this servant was afraid of admitting his mistake, so I ran closer to see clearly. Come and tell me!"

Long Xilan was suddenly happy and depressed, and she was happy because Zi Xuyuan was loyal and didn't leave her behind, and even found a chance to come back!The depression is also because of this, this guy promised her father to take her back to Tianling Town, that's why she came back, but now, she didn't think about leaving, she had already worshiped the world with Li Huai, she... wanted to stay, stay By Li Huai's side, be his concubine Xu.

Li Huai heard that it was Mr. Long who came last time, his complexion also changed, he seemed very happy, and immediately took Long Xilan over.

When he saw only Zi Xuyuan standing beside the emperor, his eyes were clearly disappointed.

"Cao Min has seen Lord Xu..." Zi Xuyuan said respectfully, his eyes moved to Xi Lan's face. "Princess Xu!"

The emperor had heard Li Wei praise this Mr. Long long ago, so he respected him very much.

Li Huai responded politely and said, "Young Master Long, you don't need to be too polite."

"Meeting the prince and concubine again is really fate. The grass people have been disturbing the White Lotus Temple for the past few days. The Taoist priest Fang Du is my father's friend. He happened to go out to visit the clouds these few days, so the grass people came here on behalf of the Taoist priest Fangdu." Already!"

Lest Li Huai think too much, Zi Xuyuan explained the reason first.

After hearing this, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all he knew that this person's true identity was the closed disciple of Daoist Qingyang of Nanxian Temple, and he was definitely not under Fangdu in terms of Taoism.

"Then Mr. Laolong will go into the palace to have a look."

Zi Xuyuan smiled politely, and said respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the grass people have something to ask."

"If you have any requests, Mr. Long, just ask!" The emperor remembered Yu Guifei's eagerness, and only hoped that he would quickly find out the person who cast the wooden mantra.

"There are a lot of people in this hall, walking around will easily affect the aura of this place. When the grass people look around for a while, they don't want other people to be around."

When the emperor heard it, he felt that it made sense. "Yes!"

"However, Caomin needs a helper, this person..."

Li Huai said in a deep voice, "Master Long, how do you think this king is doing?"

This matter is related to the life of his mother and concubine, so Li Huai naturally wants to do everything himself, and he also wants to see how these Taoists will find out the murderer of the wooden man curse.

"My lord is willing to condescend to Long Mou, it's really wishful, but the assistant Long Mou wants must be a woman."

As soon as he came in, he also found the evil spirit in Luxi Pavilion, so there is more than one ghost here.

If you want to recruit ghosts, you can use the body yin of a woman, but it is a bit laborious for a man, not to mention that it is not feasible for a ghost like Li Huai to worry about it.

Long Xilan already knew what he was planning, so she immediately stood up and asked, "Young Master Long, would it be good for me to be your assistant?"

Li Huai's complexion changed. Although he didn't know what the Taoist priest was going to do, he could imagine that it was not as simple as traveling in mountains and rivers, so he whispered: "Jin Hua, you'd better stay by my king's side!"

She smiled slightly at the other party, "My lord, Jin Hua just wants to do something for the mother and concubine to show her filial piety."

When the emperor heard it, he smiled and praised: "Okay, General Ji is brave and good at fighting. It really is a tiger father without a dog daughter, Huai'er, you don't have to worry too much, with Mr. Long here, you must be sure!"

I have said so, Li Huai can only agree!Seeing that when she was about to follow Zi Xuyuan, he deliberately pulled her aside and whispered: "Jin Hua, this king is outside the hall."

Her heart warmed up, "Is the prince worried about Jin Hua?"
