Watch the sea

Xinghui and the others stood up without knowing it, but before Chu Heng could sneak out through the back door, two people had already walked in in the backyard of the inn.

Xinghui looked at the person coming, his body froze immediately, he was stunned for a long time, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Ah...Amother?!"

Ye Jianwei, the lord of the Eastern Capital, and Mu Xiyun, the lord of the Astrology Pavilion.

Mu Xiyun didn't respond, and glanced at Xinghui and Su Lang who was next to him, raised the corners of his lips slightly but said nothing, and said to Chu Heng who was closest to the back door: "Ah Yue, I heard your master say , why did you hide your injury in Lushui?"

Chu Heng's back felt cold, so he could only turn around and look at Mu Xiyun: "Master...I..."

He unconsciously looked at Ye Jianwei who was beside Mu Xiyun, but as if the master didn't see his pleading eyes, he purposely staggered his gaze, and only stared at the crabapple flowers in the corner of the backyard of the inn.

Chu Heng had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Mu Xiyun. "I" didn't say anything for a long time. Mu Xiyun looked at him indifferently for a while, until Chu Heng lowered his head and then turned his eyes away, and his eyes fell on He Xiao Gaomin stood on Ye Shuli's body.

Mu Xiyun still had a faint smile on his face: "Shuli, did you go to Yichong just to appreciate the heritage of the academy?"

Ye Shuli squeezed the folding fan in his hand guiltily: "Master, I..."

"When I came from Lishan, your master specially asked me to send you a message, telling you to take a girl back to Lishan. Now it seems that the girl probably doesn't exist anymore. Whether the apprentice will go back is another matter. ?”

Hearing this, Xiao Gaomin silently glanced at Ye Shuli, who coughed lightly, and looked away, not daring to look at Mu Xiyun again.

Xinghui stiffened his body, seeing his two senior brothers being questioned by Mu Xiyun one after another, his matter may be much more serious, especially that day in Lushui, when his father left after seeing him, he was very angry when he went back. Li Shan would definitely not say anything nice about him to Mu Xiyun.

He took a deep breath calmly, and was ready for Mu Xiyun to scold him, but he didn't want Mu Xiyun to just look at him and Su Lang thoughtfully, without saying a word.

It took half a cup of tea, but Xinghui's feet began to tingle.Ever since he was a child, what he was most afraid of was that his mother wouldn't beat or scold him or say a word. Mu Xiyun usually did this when he was extremely disappointed. This made him feel more uncomfortable than scolding and beating.

He looked up into Mu Xiyun's eyes, opened his lips, and called out in a low voice: "Mother..."

Mu Xiyun still didn't answer, so he turned around and walked towards the guest room in the backyard. Ye Jianwei pointed at Xinghui and Su Lang with his fingers, and hurriedly followed.

Ye Jianwei followed Mu Xiyun's footsteps, walked around the pillars, and said with a smile: "In the past, you always said that they were most afraid of me, but today you know who they are afraid of?"

Mu Xiyun squinted at him: "Is there any difference between being afraid of you or me?"

"That's true."

They stood quietly in front of the hollow flower window in the promenade for a while, Ye Jianwei caught a glimpse of Xinghui outside through the flower window, and finally couldn't help but tentatively said to Mu Xiyun: "Xinghui is kneeling outside, His Su Lang is also with him."

Naturally, Mu Xiyun also saw the two of them, and looked sideways at Ye Jianwei with a slight smile: "Does the Landlord feel distressed?"

"Cough", Ye Jian coughed slightly, and quickly expressed his attitude: "Whoever loves him, it's good if he didn't get a beating, Madam, don't be angry."

Mu Xiyun didn't poke him, but just laughed softly: "In that case, if he wants to kneel, he should kneel. You are not allowed to wake him up."

Ye Jian took a deep breath secretly, and had no choice but to respond.

Mu Xiyun closed his smile, stared at Xinghui who was kneeling outside, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not angry, let alone blame him, I just want him to think carefully and not regret it in the future. People live for a lifetime It’s not just a joy, I only have this one son, I don’t want him to live according to my wishes, I think he can live the way he wants. It doesn’t matter who he likes, whether it’s male or female, what status or status Li Shan never paid much attention to these things. I just hope he can recognize whether this feeling is a momentary impulse, or really moved."

Ye Jianwei followed her gaze, landed on Su Lang, and said after considering, "It's been more than a year since Xinghui went to the imperial capital from Lishan Mountain. If they didn't like it, they wouldn't be here now. Su Lang, I have met his father, Su Que, and the old Duke Ying, Yinghai Su has a very good family tradition, and the children he raises are also Jiyue Qingfeng, who live up to their name and deserve the word 'Lang'."

Mu Xiyun glanced at him, and smiled slightly: "You are just facing them, that's all, let Ah Yue go and wake them up, they are so big, kneeling outside is not good, it is not a discipline, but a humiliation. You and I'll go and see the young master of Cangwu City first."

Fang Xiuran has been locked in the backmost room of the inn since he was brought back yesterday after being sealed by Chu Heng. The people in Lishan did not deliberately treat him harshly.

When Ye Jianwei and Mu Xiyun came in, Fang Xiuran looked wary, but before he could make a sound, Ye Jianwei raised his hand and tapped the acupuncture points on his neck and shoulders, and he passed out and fell on the bed.

Mu Xiyun stood aside, ever since he stepped into the wing, his gaze was firmly fixed on Fang Xiuran's face, which was full of nostalgia.After a long time, she came back to her senses, raised her eyes to the sky and suppressed the moisture in her eyes, and murmured: "He looks very similar to Jing Ci."

Ye Jianwei just let out a long sigh.

Mu Xiyun walked to the side of the couch and stared at it for a while: "It's been 30 years. I haven't seen Jing Ci again, but when I saw this young man, I still thought of her the first time I saw her."

She was stunned, as if she was asking, but she seemed to be talking to herself, her voice was barely audible: "Jian Wei, are you talking about the impermanence of the world, or the fickleness of people's hearts? How did it become like this now?"

……

Yunzhou, Cangwu City.

In the deepest courtyard of Cangwu City Lord's Mansion, there are many dark guards guarding all around, watching every move inside and outside the courtyard. At first glance, it seems to be well-defended, but it is more appropriate to say that it is imprisoned after years of time.

Fang Jingci, the lord of Cangwu City, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, the coughing sound was particularly heartbreaking in the silent Buddhist hall.

Maid Lin Niang knelt beside her, hesitated again and again but whispered: "City Lord, you should take medicine, if this goes on, you won't be able to bear it."

Fang Jingci put down the pen in her hand to copy the Buddhist scriptures, she just shook her head numbly and did not respond, she looked up at the two memorial tablets on the hall, the faint light in her eyes dimmed instantly, she stood up with her eyes downcast and sat in the incense burner. A stick of incense was put on.

Lin Niang didn't dare to disturb, she just silently packed up the copied Buddhist scriptures and stood quietly by the side.Fang Jingci didn't come back to herself until the incense was half burned, and walked towards the outer courtyard with a stiff body.

After walking all the way, she coughed in a low voice, stretched out her hand to open the partition bead curtain outside, and bumped into the person who came directly without noticing for a moment.

"Why didn't you take your medicine?" Fang Hongzhen helped her up, held Fang Jingci's wrist, and checked her pulse, his already frowning brows tightened even more.

Fang Jingci broke free from his grasp, stepped back three steps, remained expressionless and silent, before the unnatural atmosphere in the outer hall was completely stiff, she covered her mouth and coughed again.

Fang Hongzhen hurried forward and put his hand on her back. The warm internal force flowed into Fang Jingci's meridians along his palm, and the muffled cough finally gradually stopped.

Fang Hongzhen's face paled, and he told Lin Niang who was beside him, "Go and cook the medicine."

Lin Niang said yes, and walked out quickly.

Fang Jingci pushed Fang Hongzhen's hand away again, moved it out of his arms, and said coldly, "I won't eat, so don't waste your time."

Fang Hongzhen frowned and was about to speak, when Fang Jingci suddenly raised her eyes to meet his gaze, with irony in her eyes: "An accident happened in Huaize City? Are you willing to come back?"

Fang Hongzhen obviously didn't want to mention more, so he concealed a few words.

Fang Jingci sneered: "Why didn't Xiuran come back? Could it be that something happened to him?"

"No."

Fang Jingci just looked at him fixedly when she heard the words, and suddenly laughed out loud after a while, her eyes were flushed and she stared at Fang Hongzhen, choked with sobs and said half-sarcastically: "Fang Hongzhen, you deserve it, I told you so many years ago However, you will kill yourself if you do many unrighteous actions, but you just don't listen to me. Did something happen to Fang Xiuran?"

Fang Hongzhen just looked away and remained silent.

Fang Jingci was half crying and half laughing, tears dripping down the corners of her eyes and falling to the ground, her lips trembling, and it took her a long time to spell out a sentence: "Then, let him die! I, Fang Jingci, would rather never have this son. ..."

"Jing Ci!"

Fang Hongzhen interrupted her sharply, Lin Niang walked in with the medicine lowered, bowed slightly and stopped beside Fang Jingci, Fang Hongzhen pointed to the medicine on the tray: "Xiu Ran is fine, you take the medicine first. "

Fang Jingci turned her face away, stretched out her hand to push away the medicine cup, and said in a strong tone, "I said I wouldn't take it."

A little medicine was spilled during the pushing and shoving, Fang Hongzhen had no choice but to glance at the Buddhist scriptures on the table from the corner of his eye, squinting his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't take the medicine, you don't have to copy the Buddhist scriptures in the future, everyone is dead, No amount of Buddhist scriptures will help.”

Fang Jingci turned her head to look at him in disbelief, her chest heaved violently, her eyes turned a few times between the Buddhist scriptures and Fang Hongzhen: "Who did I copy it for... Get out! Get out—"

"You drank the medicine." Fang Hongzhen put his hand on the Buddhist scriptures on the corner of the table with a serious face.

Lin Niang, who was standing by the side, hesitated to speak.

Fang Jingci picked up the medicine cup on the tray, tears dripped into the bowl, and swallowed the medicine with tears. The plain porcelain medicine cup was smashed at Fang Hongzhen's feet, and she pointed out the door with trembling fingers. : "Go away, I don't want to see you."

Fang Hongzhen sighed, and finally walked out.

The moment his back disappeared outside the door, Fang Jingci fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength. For a moment, she could hardly tell whether the medicine was more painful or her heart was more painful.

Lin Niang quickly helped her up, cleaned up the mess on the ground, and asked tentatively, "City Master, are the Buddhist scriptures still delivered to the Buddhist temple outside the city?"

"Feng, how can I not pay such heavy killing karma, I will go by myself." Fang Jingci wiped away the tears on her face, and stood up unsteadily.

"But..." Before Lin Niang finished speaking, Fang Jingci had already walked out of the door, and Lin Niang hurriedly chased after her without bothering to persuade her.

However, before they walked out of the courtyard gate, several hidden guards jumped down from the tree and stopped Fang Jingci, and said respectfully, "City Lord, Wu Zun ordered you not to step out of the courtyard gate."

Fang Jing smiled back with compassion: "Who is the lord of Cangwu City?"

"It's you, but... the city lord forgives the sin, and Wu Zun has orders."

Fang Jingci stood there for a long while, said "good" several times, took out a radiant jade pendant from her bosom, and threw it heavily on the ground with trembling hands.

Lin Niang cried out, knelt down, hurriedly picked up the jade pendant that had fallen on the ground and rolled a few times, pulled Fang Jingci's sleeve and shouted anxiously: "Miss, you can't do it!"

Fang Jingci shook off her hand, and violently tore the Buddhist scriptures in her hand to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, but she couldn't tear it apart, so she simply let go of her hand and threw it on the ground, stomping heavily on it.

A feeling of powerlessness that almost engulfed her whole body rose in her heart. She couldn't do anything 30 years ago, and she still can't do anything 30 years later.

Only in the Buddhist hall, the two names on the tablet have been watching her quietly, as if telling the old things many years ago.

Ji Wu v. 樰, Gui Haiyan Lan.

That night, it suddenly rained heavily in Cangwu City, Yunzhou.

The author says:

[1.] Shi Niang is the one who stands at the top of the Lishan food chain, for no reason hahaha.She is like a mother to them.

【2.】Yan Haiyanlan is the current Yan Zhefei, no need to explain, Ji Wusu is Chu Heng's biological mother.

【3.】The love and hatred of two generations.Fang Jingci mentioned once in Chapter 42 that she is an old friend from the previous generation.Fang Hongzhen cared so much about Fang Xiuran not only because of his son's outstanding talent, but more importantly because Fang Xiuran looked a lot like his mother Fang Jingci.
