People, once there is a relationship and a bond, troubles and pain will follow.

After all, she is just a human being.

Murong Long'er seemed to have no worries at all. He was making noises and looking at everything that was novel.

The guards led the way, walking vigorously without looking back, just like the proud palace.

There is nobility and authority that cannot be despised everywhere in this palace. Until they enter the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials look at the three of them sideways.

The morning sun was warm and warm, illuminating everyone's faces, astonished, pleasantly surprised, and frightened. For a moment, the sound of a pindrop could be heard above the hall.

Zhong Ran stepped forward without being humble or arrogant, and saluted the high-ranking Queen Nangong Yaochu with clasped fists, "Qingshang Mighty General Zhong Ran has met the Queen." Each word was sonorous and powerful, and when he raised his head, he met Nangong Yaochu's eyes.

Because they were representatives of the mission, there was no such thing as kneeling. Murong Long'er and Heliancheng only clasped their fists in greeting.

Nangong Yao stood up awkwardly, and was immediately supported by a guard. She staggered off the stage, looking closely at Zhong Ran, and tears rolled down her face.

I heard her sobbing and saying, "Sister Huang, you are back, you are finally back, you are finally back, great, it turns out Zhong Ran is you, you are..."

There was a sudden noise in the quiet hall, like a big stone dropped on a calm lake, causing countless splashes of water with a loud bang.

"She's back, she's really back, Nangong Miaochu, Nangong Miaochu!"

"She finally showed up after being missing for five years. I said she was not dead. How could she be dead? She is a goddess."

"You really don't know how to live or die, and you dare to come back. The old queen will be very angry if she knows she comes back. She is not in good health to begin with..."

……

The most shocked person was Murong Long'er and He Liancheng beside her, who looked sideways in disbelief.

She is... Nangong Miaochu?

Zhong Ran seemed to have heard a joke, "Oh, how could I be her, but I am indeed the master's apprentice."

Only then did people remember that Zhong Ran was that disciple.

Nangong Yaochu didn't believe it. He stared at her cold face and said, "But you look so similar to Sister Huang, so similar..." He slowly sat back in the main hall, looking dazed.

"Maybe it's because of my resemblance to Master and the fact that I have no father or mother that Master accepted me as his apprentice." Zhong Ran looked like he didn't want to say more.

The bold minister walked up to Zhong Ran and looked at her carefully. He touched her chin and said, "They do look alike, but if you look closely, they are different. Nangong Miaochu has white skin and dark and bright eyes. She is very gorgeous. You look too dull."

"Really? I'll take a look too." Another minister stepped forward.

……

In the end, Zhong Ran was surrounded by several older women and made comments, and finally came to the conclusion.

She is not as good-looking as Nangong Miaochu, she is not Nangong Miaochu.

Zhong Ran felt extremely helpless and continued to talk about business, "The gift from Queen Qingshang this time is a century-old peony tree." As soon as he finished speaking, the guards carried the peony tree up, and everyone was in an uproar.

The tree was planted in a crystal clear jade pot, two meters high. It was covered with pink peonies in clusters. The peony petals were large and numerous, more than twice the size of ordinary peonies.

What's even better is that the petals disappear immediately after falling into the soil, and new petals immediately grow from the flower where the petals fell, so this peony will never wither.

Nangong Yaochu also looked at it in surprise, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes.

Zhong Ran explained, "Empress Qingshang heard that Empress Long Yuan dotes on the queen. The queen loves peonies the most. She is pregnant and she must need peonies as companions, so she sent someone to Huasheng to beg for this century-old peony tree.

I hope the Queen and Empress will like it, and I also hope that the friendship between Qing Shang and Long Yuan will last forever like this bright peony. "After speaking, Zhong Ran cupped his fists and saluted.

Nangong Yaochu laughed heartily, "Yes, Ying'er likes peonies the most, and now that she is pregnant, peonies are always with her. I like this gift very much. It's very, very good."

Glancing at Zhong Ran again, she stood there with a respectful smile, yet she was far different from the imperial sister in her memory.

Her royal sister would not bow down to others.

Prime Minister Shangguan Heng stepped forward and said, "Queen, the origin of this peony tree is unknown. The queen is pregnant and has always been in poor health. She cannot just take it close to her. If there is any bad smell in the flower, she may damage the fetus. .”

Nangong Yaochu said, "That's right, you have to be more cautious."

Zhong Ran looked at the Prime Minister, who was still over fifty years old but still as charming as before, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Shangguan is right. After all, he loves his son so much that he went to great lengths to marry his son into the palace for five years before she got pregnant. If someone accidentally loses his fetus and loses his life, it’s like a chicken and a egg.”

Shangguan Heng's expression changed drastically, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Everyone was so frightened that they stood at attention, not daring to breathe.

If you are so treacherous, aren't you cursing the queen to kill two people?

Nangong Yaochu also turned cold, with murderous intent in her eyes.

Murong Long'er carefully pulled her sleeves and whispered, "Sister Ran, what are you talking about? I don't want to die young."

The atmosphere in this hall was really intimidating, and as a princess, she unconsciously felt awe and timidity.

Zhong Ran smiled and said, "I heard Master mention her story back then. She was deeply in love with the Queen. When she fell off the cliff and her life was hanging by a thread, she still thought about being married to the Queen in her next life. Who knew that she had just given up on her sweetheart and married her sister? That’s why I left my country with my heart broken.”

Then he sighed, "Oh, I just feel bad for Master. She is so outstanding and such an infatuated woman deserves to be matched with the most beautiful and kind-hearted person in the world."

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Nangong Yaochu in the main hall pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhong Ran suddenly changed his tone and said easily, "But Master thought about it. I saw her when I left four years ago. She was surrounded by beautiful men, and she had more than ten husbands. We haven't seen her for so long, and her children should be full too." The ground ran away."

As soon as these words came out, the hall became lively again.

Even Shangguan Heng couldn't help but ask, "She is married and has children?"

"That should be the case. She also said that it was all because she was too young and never saw male sex. Any of these marriages now would be better than the first love."

Why do you say these words? It is purely to cause trouble for someone in the harem, even if he may not care anymore.

Taifu Yulin, who had been silent, asked, "Do you know where she is now?"

Yulin was different from Shangguan Heng. Although both of them were serious about words, Shangguan Heng seemed to have a bad temper at first glance, while she looked much gentler.

Zhong Ran shook his head, "Someone killed her and she was running for her life. I didn't dare to ask." He looked serious.

There was another silence.

"Since you know that Master is being hunted, why do you still dare to come to this palace?" It was a man's voice that was not very friendly, gentle but resounding.

Zhong Ran couldn't help but look up.

It was the plum-green man who brushed off the cobwebs for her General Mansion sign.

At that time, when she looked at his back from a distance, she thought he was a good-looking person. Unexpectedly, the face up close reminded her of only eight words.

Gentle and elegant, Zhilan Yushu.

Because he has fair skin and good looks, even if he is questioned, he will not feel embarrassed.
