Chang'an [Rebirth]

"Little girl, let me tell you a story." Mei Xueyun stood so calmly in front of the crowd, and there was a huge contrast with her a moment ago.

Zheng Qinghe was a little afraid of the current situation, so he reminded him sharply, "Senior, don't forget that you have made a promise with Your Majesty first!"

Mei Xueyun sneered and asked, "Promise? Do you know what promise I made with Zhao Qian?"

This sentence was also taught by Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian only told Zheng Qinghe that he had a handle on Mei Xueyun, but he didn't tell him what the handle was. After all, Zheng Qinghe was just a weapon against Ruan Linshuang. He didn't know the cause before, and he didn't know the effect later, and he stuck to some things that turned black and white in a daze.

Mei Xueyun's question directly left Zheng Qinghe speechless.

The old senior didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he continued to say to Ruan Linshuang, "Zhao Qian knew that I was Lin Lang's master, and also knew that I would be partial to his own girl, so he secretly planned to drug me. Originally, he wanted my life, but after being poisoned I resisted with my internal strength, and the 'Changyou' was extremely difficult to deal with, it became entangled with my internal strength and led to a madness, and I was awake for less than two hours a day."

Poor generation of masters, before they have a good death, they first fell into a state of insanity.

"It just so happened that senior brother came to the palace to look for me. Zhao Qian felt that he was a threat, so he borrowed my hand to kill him." Mei Xueyun seemed to have returned to that thunderstorm night.

Lu Wanfeng was masked in black and could not move with one hand. Among the endless green tiles of the two-zhang palace wall, the old man reunited after a long absence. Before Lu Wanfeng could be happy, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth Stopped, the sword in Mei Xueyun's hand pierced his chest, blood splashed everywhere in the thunder, and then it started to rain... When Mei Xueyun was crazy, she couldn't remember what happened next, and this memory was also swept away However, it seemed that the masked man in black was just one of her dead souls, so there was no need to mention it.

Seeing the South Sea Pearl at this time, she suddenly remembered that night she walked over, lifted Lu Wanfeng's mask, and saw Lu Wanfeng's face clearly. She remembered her heart-piercing pain, and The South Sea pearl was once stained with blood and placed on her hand.

The pearl under the dragon's jaw is so beautiful, but it is the root of the tragedy in her life.

Then Mei Xueyun went completely crazy. She only remembered that she had made an agreement with Zhao Qian. This agreement was extremely important, and she would rather die to keep it, but she forgot what this agreement was... until just now, until she saw the South China Sea again. Mei Xueyun finally remembered that night, Zhao Qian took the beads from her hand, "This person trespassed in the Forbidden Palace, since you are familiar with him, even if you kill him yourself, you should be punished , I will keep this bead for you, and I will return it to you after your punishment is over."

Such a ridiculous agreement, Zhao Qian played with a lunatic, let her kill her close relatives with her own hands, and let her be confused for half her life, becoming a knife of her enemy.

After finishing speaking, Mei Xueyun turned her gaze back to Zheng Qinghe's face, "How about it, do you still want to emphasize the promise I made with Zhao Qian?"

"..." Zheng Qinghe had nothing to say.

The matter has come to this point, Mei Xueyun will not turn against him to help him, Zheng Qinghe originally thought that the assassination would be successful, no matter whether it is the culprit Ruan Linshuang or Chai Xiaogong who died, it would be a worthwhile trip, but now that the situation is reversed, it is no longer possible for him win.

Zheng Qinghe slowly retreated to the side of the boat. He is the son of the boatman. He grew up by the river since he was a child. As long as he can enter the water and be one step faster, even a boat full of sailors may not be able to catch him.

"Master, his father died because of me and Xiao Ruan after all. If I killed him, I might be struck by lightning. Please help me." Chai Zheng is not a soft-hearted person. Maybe there is still salvation, but now it seems that this person is paranoid and crazy, one bite, three points to the bone.

What's more, from the very beginning, she felt that Xiao Ruan's breathing was unstable and her pulse was getting weaker and weaker. Although she still had the energy to persuade people to die before she died, but at this moment, the bright moon was thin and the sun was pouring out from the mountain stream. From tomorrow night onwards, it will be Ruan Linshuang's last day.

If Xiao Ruan didn't have the antidote when the sun went down tomorrow, he would surely die.

They cherish every stick of incense and every cup of tea, even the fragmented time between their fingers, and they don't have time to deal with mad dogs like Zheng Qinghe.

The moment Zheng Qinghe fell off the ship's side, the saber air pierced him, blood splashed everywhere, and fell into the river, attracting countless coveted species. He laughed, "Chai Zheng! Even if I don't kill Ruan Linshuang, she will How long can I live? I will take a step slowly in Huangquan and wait for her to come!"

Chai Zheng's gaze turned cold for a moment, she turned her head and looked back, Zheng Qinghe had already fallen into the water, and there was a bloody smell in the wind, this man did not forget to curse before he died.

Ruan Linshuang was sleepy after a whole night of sleepless nights, Chai Zheng put her on the bed and tucked her in the quilt, then ordered Wen Zhu to find Dr. Zhang in a low voice.

Since he unraveled his knot, the little apprentice was more diligent and considerate. He swayed on his short legs and quickly led his master over.

Zhang Xingzhong didn't sleep much these days, soaked in medical books and herbs, all the hawks, crows, and pigeons raised by Chai Zheng belonged to him, and he set off with letters from time to time to find his friends from all over the world, hoping to research a A way to save people.

However, after a long time, Zhang Xingzhong was still at a loss.

Opening the curtain, Chai Zheng sat on the edge of Ruan Linshuang's bed and held Ruan Linshuang's hand. The little girl had not yet grown up, her hands were not big, and her fingertips were bright red. When she heard Zhang Xingzhong coming in, Chai Zheng changed her posture.

She signaled the doctor to go out and said not to disturb Xiao Ruan's rest.

Zhang Xingzhong also followed her, and went out again before he could stand firmly on his heels.

It was daylight, and the cabin was no longer gray, but there was only one window at the top of the corridor, and the rest of the corridor was opaque and had no lights. Chai Zheng squinted his eyes and couldn't see Doctor Zhang's expression clearly.

But Chai Zheng knew that Dr. Zhang's current image might not be better than his own. He is a benevolent doctor. The hand price..." Anyway, there is no loss, but if the patient really cannot be saved, Doctor Zhang will feel bad.

"Doctor Zhang, if you really can't think of a way, you don't have to force it." Chai Zheng is rarely so stable, she is always sharp and open-minded. .

Zhang Xingzhong frowned, "Little General, I'm a doctor, and I'm used to seeing life and death, so I have something to advise you...you can't force anything."

"I don't force it," Chai Zheng said with a smile. "In the past, Xiao Ruan plotted against me, and I let her do it. But I want to plot against her once in life and death. Don't worry, Doctor Zhang, I have already arranged it."

"..." People who are too determined will not turn back, so Zhang Xingzhong can only stand quietly in the dark and listen to Chai Zheng's reasoning.

"Doctor Zhang, I still need your help tonight," Chai Zheng said, begging for help, clasping his fists with both hands, "I can't do it unless it hurts nature and reason, and I hope you don't refuse."

Zhang Xingzhong hesitated for a while, and finally sighed heavily, "Okay."

Ruan Linshuang slept for three full hours. She was already easily tired, so she tossed and tossed all night. When she opened her eyes, the summer sun was still dazzling, but it was also yellow. She was a little annoyed that Chai Zheng didn't wake her up. For myself, this sleep was a waste of several hours.

The sweet-scented osmanthus balls in Chai Zheng's hand were still hot, and as soon as Ruan Linshuang opened her mouth, she stuffed them with a spoonful, saying, "The last thing I want is to listen to you, as soon as Xiao Ruan speaks, even if I am reasonable, I will become unreasonable." gone."

Ruan Linshuang couldn't help laughing.

The small balls made with osmanthus honey were a little too sweet, after all, not as good as the season's fresh osmanthus sprinkled in the distiller's grains, Ruan Linshuang took two mouthfuls and it was tasteless, and Chai Zheng could see that she didn't want to eat it, so she put the bowl aside.

At this moment, Xiao Ruan can be as willful as he likes, instead of always being trapped in a cage and not being able to say a word of sincerity as in the past.

Ruan Linshuang said again, "What else can we do today," she pinched her fingers, "It's dark at night and early in the morning, we still have five or six hours, we can do a lot of things."

"I heard that there is a town forty or fifty miles further down the river. It happens to be a festival today, and it's very lively. I asked about it when you were asleep." Chai Zheng asked, "Do you want to see the excitement? If so, we Just go, if you don’t want to, we’ll stay here for the rest of the time, and I’ll be with you.”

"Go," Ruan Linshuang smiled, "It's rare to have different customs."

Chai Zheng plotted against Ruan Linshuang, so she knew that Xiao Ruan would watch the fun and leave herself in the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. Those uncontrollable heartaches were pulled away by fireworks, lanterns and noise, and the moment of living together and dying together was missing. courage.

Everyone around is laughing, maybe Chai Zheng won't be able to cry, Ruan Linshuang knows that her sweetheart has the most open mind, and after this moment, maybe she will be able to live for a long time.

"You jump off the cliff and I'll kill myself" is just a matter of saying, when we really parted, Ruan Linshuang still hoped that Chai Zheng would still be the arrogant and arrogant little prince in this world, and it would be better to break the ties if he died for the rest of his life.

While Ruan Linshuang was sleeping, the boat was already going downstream. Chai Zheng said it was still forty or fifty miles away, but in fact, there was only less than half of the distance left. The sky had not completely darkened and he had already arrived in the town, and the anchor was breaking down behind him. Ruan Linshuang at the front insisted that he could still walk, so he got Chai Zheng to support him and got off the boat.

The two girls are like exiled immortals. Chai Zheng is wearing a long red dress, but it is not as long as her calves. The brocade belt is also embroidered with peony flowers, the richest and most graceful peony flowers in the world.

Ruan Linshuang is dressed in white, the skirt almost touches the floor, and is also embroidered with fiery red phoenix flowers, which complement her icy muscles and bones.

But this town is not lively, there are not even many people on the street, and there are not many spectators in costumes. Ruan Linshuang realized that she had been caught in a trap as soon as her front foot hit the ground. When I fell into the darkness, I thought to myself, "Chai Zheng! You better not wake me up, or I will take your ashes away!"

In the past Chai Zheng hugged Ruan Linshuang without much effort, these days Xiao Ruan became thinner again, a beauty was gently nestled against her chest, Chai Zheng carried Xiao Ruan and entered the inn by the pier, the inn was properly arranged, from inside to outside They are all from our own family, and there is some kind of medicine fried in it, and the smell is not very friendly.

Zhang Xingzhong followed behind. The doctor in this town was a graceful woman in her thirties named Chen Xu. His friend made arrangements in advance because of a letter from Zhang Xingzhong. She stood at the door, far away. Yuan saw Zhang Xingzhong and rushed to meet him, "The one who just entered the door is..."

Zhang Xingzhong nodded.

He had edited a book before, asking his friends in the southeast and northwest to help him think about what to do if he was poisoned by the "long worry" poison but there was no antidote. Naturally, Chen Xu also received it. The reason why Chai Zheng plotted against Ruan Linshuang was because Thanks to Chen Xu.

According to Chen Xu, when she was young, she also met people who suffered from "long worry". Although this poison is expensive and rare, the tormentor is the best, but anyone who has the strength to refine it will encounter an enemy who hates him to the bone. Use "long worry" more than arsenic.

Chen Xu is different from Zhang Xingzhong. She does not have a master but a family inheritance. She has practiced medicine for generations. Many years ago, she went to Beijing with her father to see her uncle. Chen Xu's uncle is an imperial doctor. The mansion is very close to the palace. One night, when the night was dark and the wind was high, Chen Xu saw a woman, and he was sitting among the flowers in her yard, with his eyes closed, motionless.

At that time, Chen Xu didn't know much and was young. She was considered a delicate young lady at home. She usually went to the medicine hall for medical treatment. This was the first time she saw this kind of wild Jianghu person. She was full of sword aura. The courtyard was nice. All the injured are dead branches and leaves.

She didn't dare to approach at first, but at that time everyone in the family was asleep, and the woman's face was pale and motionless as if she was dead, with blood on her mouth. Chen Xu boldly leaned over, stretched his arms far away, and gave her Take the pulse.

That woman is "long worry".

"Long worry" Chen Xu couldn't solve it, so she could only bring her into the house and give her a little painkiller every day. The woman's breath became weaker and weaker. Fortunately, Chen Xu was a girl who hadn't left the court, and her father and uncle talked to her too. Please come out, very few people go into her room, after half a month like this, the woman suddenly disappeared.

Many years later, when the uncle resigned, Chen Xu went to the capital again, and saw a person in the street from afar. It was the woman she had saved back then, but the woman was very skilled in martial arts, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Therefore, Chen Xu made this matter clear in his reply to Zhang Xingzhong, and Zhang Xingzhong also admitted and treated Chai Zheng's case. The two doctors had a discussion between them, and finally came to a conclusion——

Although Changyou is dangerous, he has not poisoned anyone with extremely deep internal energy so far. Chai Zheng is too young to compare with the accumulation of senior experts, but he has taken more than [-] antidotes, and it is much easier to some extent. It's also the reason why she didn't go crazy.

Moreover, Chai Zheng's internal strength has obviously changed after being entangled with "Chang Wo".

Zhang Xingzhong originally wanted to hide this matter from Chai Zheng, but the doctor Xianyun Yehe, how can he compare with the general who discusses heroes before going into battle, and decides life and death in court, he was caught in a few words.

Chai Zheng wanted to save Ruan Linshuang, she was unwilling to give up her martial arts because of Xiao Ruan, but now she is willing to give up all of it.

But Zhang Xingzhong didn't want her to do this. Firstly, this was just an inference between himself and Chen Xu. The two examples are not advisable for the doctor. Second, if Chai Zheng really gave this ability to Ruan Linshuang, her own body would be weak. It must be able to survive, just these old injuries... If it were any scholar who was not working hard, he would have died [-] times.

I'm afraid that one will not be rescued, and another will be caught.

However, Chai Zheng's words are well-founded, "If Xiao Ruan can be saved, and I am not affected by old injuries, then it is God's blessing, and I thank my eight generations of ancestors; if Xiao Ruan is alive, I will die, and I will ask Doctor Zhang to give me some medicine." , Let Xiao Ruan forget the memory of this life; if both of them die, it will be considered a martyrdom, anyway, I have no intention of living alone."

"..." Zhang Xingzhong hopes that he will meet a patient like Chai Zheng in his life, so he will also thank his eight generations of ancestors.

Chai Zheng didn't dare to try it on the boat, the river was often stormy, but this matter couldn't stand the slightest mistake.

The room was lit with calming incense, and Chai Zheng had colluded with the doctors early on to get Chen Xu to prepare everything in advance.

Chai Zheng put little Ruan Ping on the bed, and she pinched Ruan Linshuang's cheeks. This person is usually dignified and stable. Even Chai Zheng would shrink back when he thought of being frivolous to her occasionally. If Ruan Linshuang didn't take the initiative, Chai Zheng would just dare Take advantage carefully.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chai Zheng dared to take action.

Suddenly, the candles in the room flickered, and a figure appeared on the window. Mei Xueyun asked, "Are you really willing to die for her?"

Chai Zheng, the ancestor of the master, has been haunted by ghosts and has not shown his face since he returned to normal. At this moment, he suddenly appeared, which made Chai Zheng shiver.

At this moment, the lunatic is already reasonable, even speaking with the self-consciousness of a senior. Mei Xueyun is much younger than Yuan Si, but all his experiences are worth a few lifetimes of others.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mei Xueyun asked again, "Are you really willing to die for her?"

"I am willing, but Xiao Ruan will not let me die for her. I am a despicable person. I forced Xiao Ruan to trust me with all my heart, and I used this trust to calculate her." Chai Zheng also knew how to repent of his behavior. , "I even had to erase her memory... Xiao Ruan is very smart, she is only 16 years old, and with the help of Uncle Ruan and my parents, thousands of people dote on the wealth and wealth, and the rest of her life will be very good."

Chai Zheng squeezed Ruan Linshuang's cheek again, "I have to pay her for a complete and happy life."

"..." Mei Xueyun probably used one person as two when she was crazy, and talked too much, but now she seldom speaks.

After a long while, she said, "I will replace you."

Chai Zheng didn't expect her master to be so impartial and selfless, and she could rush to contribute to such a terrible thing. She was stunned for a while, "It's not good, you just recovered from the madness..."

It is not easy to save people. Even if Mei Xueyun has been baptized by "Chang Wo" like Chai Zheng, it is easy to fight against internal force and toxins, but Ruan Linshuang is not a container. She has no talent for cultivating internal force. It is light, so the control of internal force must be precise and accurate, and finally it must be guided.

Without this difficult operation, Chai Zheng would not have to find a flat place to get off the boat.

"I'm a senior, and I'm not as good as a yellow-haired girl like you." Mei Xueyun has become more sophisticated, but she still has arrogance in her bones, "What you said just now sounds like you have a lot of concerns, but I..." She stopped For a moment, "I'm different. Few people in this Jianghu still remember me."

"You and Ruan girl have helped me a lot. My illness, my memory, and the dignity I am proud of are all brought back by you, as well as that South Sea pearl," Mei Xueyun seemed to smile, Through the window, Chai Zheng couldn't see her expression, "Even if I, the ancestor of the master, gave a gift to my disciples and grandchildren, it would save me the face of dying young in the world... the year when I went crazy People are dead."

Mei Xueyun finally returned to normal and missed a few words, and now she seems to be planning to spit out Yu Sheng's words overnight.

Chai Zheng is not good at gagging her, and she doesn't have the ability to do so, so she can only be the only audience.

"On the day my senior brother died, I woke up for a moment and tried to die for him." Mei Xueyun pointed at his neck with the shadow on the window. "There is a wound here. I scratched it myself, but I didn't die."

If you don't die, you will miss the opportunity to spend the bridge of Naihe together, and you will miss the marriages from life to life.

Chai Zheng looked at Ruan Linshuang on the bed, and at the moment felt that he could pay homage to his master.

"Even if you fulfill me today, I will fulfill you by the way. I hope you two juniors will be well." After Mei Xueyun finished speaking, a vein of leaves came in through the window and hit Chaizheng's acupoints.

Tat for tat, Chai Zheng knocked Ruan Linshuang unconscious, and she herself was turned into a statue.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you..." Mei Xueyun rarely hesitated, unable to speak, "Has your mother mentioned me these years? What did she say?"

"Mother often mentioned that when she was young, she was playful and disliked being restrained the most. Only Master sincerely wanted to teach her things. Although he was a little stricter, it also made her able to protect her in everything, and she lost a lot of regrets and regrets."

Chai Zheng told the truth, but Mei Xueyun sighed in return.

If the late emperor hadn't planned for Zhao Linlang, Mei Xueyun wouldn't have been trapped in the court, so while she hated the late emperor, she also hated the little princess back then. Speaking of which, Zhao Linlang grew up by her side, but she didn't get much love from her. Return it to the younger generation.

The night was not long, but everyone was suffering. Zhang Xingzhong didn't sleep all night, so he stood in the yard and looked up at Chai Zheng's room. Chen Xu had already prepared all the life-saving things, even the medicine. On the stove.

She didn't have the experience of taking care of so many stoves at the same time. Fortunately, someone helped... Chen Xu, Zhang Xingzhong's young apprentice, who was diligent, was also tempted, and thought of picking one up to teach someday.

A total of four medicines were frying on the stove, two for Chai Zheng and two for Ruan Linshuang. The doctors checked the time and even borrowed a rooster from a farmer’s house. As soon as they heard the crowing, Chen Xu rushed in first... ...This is why Zhang Xingzhong came to her. Zhang Xingzhong didn't want to trespass in the room of the two girls.

As soon as he entered the door, the scene of blood spattering was not as tragic as he had imagined. Chai Zheng sat on the head of the bed. Ruan Linshuang was still sleeping, but his face was much ruddy, and his breathing was not as weak as before.

In addition, there was a faint fragrance in the room. This fragrance was produced in the land of Bashu, which was completely different from the two girls. Chen Xu smelled it very familiarly. She looked around, but she didn't see the first fragrance. three people.

Yuan Si was so proud that half of his body was burned by the phoenix box, and he still had to crawl out to die in a no-man's land. Mei Xueyun was even more proud than him, and Chai Zheng knew that she would never see her master again.

The story of the older generation finally came to an end. Two of the top seven in the world back then and three died, leaving only the head and the tail. Zhao Qian fought with the late emperor for a whole life, but he never got the result he wanted. The old The era ended with the night, the first ray of sunlight in the morning fell on Xiao Ruan's face, her eyelids moved slightly, and a moment later, her eyes fell on Chai Zheng's face——

"Morning, Xiao Ruan."

"Morning, Chai Zheng."

After that, Haiyan and Heqing.

In the 15th year of Qizhao, and in the winter of the first year of Jingfeng, two major incidents happened. The true and false Xiao Xing was revealed. Chai Guogong sent the fake Nanyuan king back to Beijue, causing civil strife between Tuoba and Xiao. Beijue withdrew his troops and asked for peace, giving up the land a hundred miles outside Liangzhou, willing to pay tribute and become a minister.

Emperor Qizhao Zhao Qian, who was imprisoned in the Zhanghe Palace, hanged himself and died. There was a heavy snowfall in the middle of Beijing, and Zhao Linlang stood at the gate of the Zhanghe Palace, bidding farewell to all the time she had spent with him.

Zhao Yan knelt on the steps, the ice and snow pierced his bones, and melted into his clothes when he was hot. He was no longer the prince of the dynasty, but he was also crowned king, moved out of the palace, and had a mansion near the gate of Chang'an.

When Zhao Qian's body was carried out from the Zhanghe Hall, he didn't know what he felt. It seemed that the chains around his body were finally broken. The hatred he had for his father when he was young disappeared instantly, but he felt boundless sadness again.

Zhang Hedian was the sleeping palace of the first empress, and Zhao Yan's mother died here.

Chai Zheng held an umbrella for Ruan Linshuang, and stood not far away coughing lightly. This was the result of their two decades of arrangement, and they had nothing to say until now.

Ruan Linshuang stretched out her hand from under the umbrella, and snow flakes the size of a goose feather fell on her fingertips. She walked through life and death, and her body temperature was always cold. He rubbed it warmly and received it in his arms.

The person under the umbrella lowered his eyes, looked at Chai Zheng and smiled, "Don't worry, your mouth is cold?"

"I have you in my heart and you outside, so I can't be cold," Chai Zheng rubbed her nose against her, "Yesterday I heard my future sister-in-law's restaurant singing a little song, what is it..."

"It's cold and it's snowing at dusk, the general returns with his horse, and the scenery changes in ten years... Have you ever seen the person you love..."

Chai Zheng sang softly, and Ruan Linshuang echoed softly at the end of the sentence, "See you."
