What Zhu Zhuer said was not wrong at all.

They started a bit late, and when they arrived at Quehua Pond, within a hundred steps of the pool, there were already tens of thousands of people gathered.Looking at the dark wall of people, it is not clear where is the water and where is the shore.Everyone was pushing forward with all their might, no one tried to figure out Ye Zuolan's identity.

Zhu Zhu'er cursed a few words, then turned her head and ordered Wal and Zuo Lan to get ready.Immediately afterwards, she suddenly roared, and rushed towards the crowd with all her strength!

The human wall she hit opened a gap in an instant.Ye Zuolan was stunned, but was reminded by Wal, so she quickly followed.

Three people, one big, two small, bumped and moved in the crowd like this, moving forward tragically.Fortunately, Zhu Zhu'er found the right direction, and the sound of drums and water waves gradually became clearer.

Almost at the water's edge, Ye Zuolan was too crowded and wanted to take a breath.The rope bed carried on the back was suddenly grabbed by the person behind and dragged back.He was "pulled" up like a carrot and fell to the ground, and then stepped on twice.The food in the food box was spilled all over the floor.Fortunately, there was a slender willow tree beside him, and he quickly stood up while hugging the willow tree, thus avoiding the possibility of being trampled to death.

However, with such a fall, Zhu Zhuer and Wal were "fallen" without a trace.

Without Zhu Zhuer's forceful way, Ye Zuolan was like a small fallen leaf, being pushed here and there by the crowd, and soon returned to the outermost edge.He knew that relying on his physical strength alone, it was impossible to reach the lake smoothly, so he simply walked to a place where no one was there, wanting to rest and make plans.

It happened that there was a luxuriant bamboo forest next to it, and there was a small stream in the forest, with clear water and red fish swimming leisurely.

Ye Zuolan thought of the pond at home, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. When she came back to her senses, she had already walked along the shallows into the depths of the bamboo forest.

It turns out that there is a shallow bay hidden here, which is not navigable even though it is connected to Quehua Pool.Therefore, there are few people interested in it, and it is extraordinarily quiet and pleasant at the moment.

Ye Zuolan has been working in the Lu family these days, and she can't rest all the time, and she has long been suffering from backaches and backaches.Now he suddenly had a plan - why not just find a hidden place here and sleep secretly.

Thinking of this, he continued to walk forward.After another twenty steps, turning a corner, a dilapidated pavilion close to the water suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.The decayed lintels and eaves pillars seem to be likely to fall down at any time.

How come... Isn't this the place I just dreamed about a few days ago?

In the dream, he met Tang Ruilang in the pavilion, and then... Ye Zuolan shivered, walked lightly, and finally saw the plaque on the pavilion clearly.

"Painting Pavilion"

It was the place where Swiss Lang met him in the letter!

At this moment, the gazebo was empty and there was no sign of Tang Ruilang.This is not surprising, after all, the parents of both parties have turned against each other, so how could Tang Ruilang secretly come to have a private meeting with him? !

Thinking of this, Ye Zuolan could only give a wry smile, laughing at her uneasiness, which was just the wishful thinking of the weak.

He reached out and removed the nameplate of Tianwu Palace hanging around his neck, and hung it on the railing of the gazebo.

Prince An Le is also a hero after all, if someone picks up this thing and returns it to the right person... it will be regarded as a consummation of merit.

After getting rid of this only concern, Ye Zuolan warned herself not to stay any longer.

Let's go to Zhu Zhu'er, at least that fat woman won't leave anyone with time to feel sorry for themselves.

He was about to return the same way, but he heard a rush of running behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a voice that had been heard for more than three months sounded anxiously behind him.

"Zo...Zoran?!"

Ye Zuolan felt as if struck by lightning, her entire body stiffened immediately, and she couldn't move half a step away.

The man seemed hesitant at first, but quickly rushed over and bumped into Ye Zuolan's back.

He seemed to want to hug Ye Zuolan, but was hindered by the rope bed.In the end, he could only grab Ye Zuolan's shoulder and force him to turn around.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Zuolan seemed to hear a mournful cry, flowing from the bottom of her heart.

No mistake, it was Tang Ruilang.

After not seeing each other for three or four months, Tang Ruilang actually raised his height again, and pressed Ye Zuolan's hand more vigorously.

He looked Ye Zuolan up and down carefully, his expression alternately surprised, saddened, and speechless for a long time, before he let out a sigh.

"You're thinner, you're much thinner..."

This sentence awakened Ye Zuolan's dream.

"Who do you think did this?!"

He pulled Tang Ruilang's hand away, took a step back, and looked around suspiciously: "Where's your people?"

"It's all far away. I won't let them come near here."

Tang Ruilang took another step forward, frowning and picked up Ye Zuolan's tattered clothes.

"...Why are you dressed like this, why are your clothes so tattered, and what are you carrying on your back?"

Ye Zuolan didn't want to get entangled with him at first, but the resentment accumulated in her chest was painful.

After all, he still couldn't hold back, gritted his teeth, and said with a sneer, "I'm working in someone else's house now, serving as a servant, serving tea and water, running errands and chopping firewood all day long. I'm not even as good as a dog in your Tang family. ...How about it, Eldest Young Master Tang had better not talk to a pariah like me, so as not to humiliate the noble family of your Tang family!"

After saying all this in one breath, it is not known whether Tang Ruilang was hurt or not, but Ye Zuolan felt a burning pain in his face and heart.

He bowed his head and turned to leave.But Tang Ruilang had already grabbed his arm one step ahead, steadfastly refusing to let him go.

"I really didn't know... I really didn't know that you were hurt so badly!"

Tang Ruilang became excited.

Without any explanation, he grabbed Ye Zuolan's shoulders and forced him to untie the rope bed behind him; then he took off his high-quality robe and put it on Ye Zuolan's ragged clothes full of footprints and mud marks.

"After your accident, I went to Guozijian and Chongrenfang to look for you, and even went to your former residence... But I found nothing. I even went to Dali Temple to meet your mother..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly took something out of his arms and held it in the palm of his hand: "This is what your mother asked me to give to you."

what?

Ye Zuolan was stunned for a moment, then sneered again: "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible! You are Tang Quan's son, and your father framed my father. How could my mother give things to you?! This is absolutely impossible. impossible!!"

"If it were me, it would be hard for me to believe it."

Tang Ruilang smiled bitterly and said, "At the beginning, I really didn't have the courage to meet your parents. The reason why I went to Dali Temple was to privately entrust the jailers there to treat your parents well. Let the jailer tell them the progress of the two brothers. After a while, the jailer suddenly sent a message saying that your mother has something to say to me."

Ye Zuolan frowned, as if she wanted to refute, but couldn't help listening.

Tang Ruilang went on to say: "When I was in prison, when I saw your mother, I first reported my family name. And she also remembered that I sent you to the doctor and visited your home, so it was calm. Said that I am really single and weak, and have no way to interfere with the affairs of the court. But I sincerely admire and like Zuo Lan, and it is not half false... I mentioned the Duanyang appointment to her again, saying that Zuo Lan may not be Will come to the appointment, but I will definitely stay in the pavilion. She was silent for a while, and finally spoke a word."

"What?" Ye Zuolan asked.

"She said, 'I know everything about you.'"

Tang Ruilang touched his cheek, and seemed a little embarrassed: "She also told me that your father tore up the letter I wrote to you."

Having said that, he finally spread out his clenched palms.

This time, Ye Zuolan was completely stunned.

In Tang Ruilang's palm lay a golden sphere the size of an apricot, and a black-purple orchid was wrapped in the exquisite sphere.

Of course Ye Zuolan recognized this thing, this purple orchid was a flower that floated down the river from the palace on the day he was born.It was re-wrapped in melted amber by someone asked by my father, and it has been preserved to this day.

In previous years, when Ye Zuolan celebrated her birthday, her family would always take out this orchid bead as an offering.The rest of the time has been carefully kept by the mother, but how could she hand over such an important thing to Tang Ruilang?

"...You took this from her?!" Ye Zuolan tried to think in the worst direction: "You must have forced her, right?!"

"This thing was indeed not given to me by your mother."

Tang Ruilang pressed his shoulders to calm him down: "She asked me to retrieve it from your confiscated property. I can't send it to Dali Temple, right? If you don't want to..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zuolan had already snatched Lan Zhu and held it in his palm.

The beads are light and the surface is warm.

Ye Zuolan knew that this was Tang Ruilang's body temperature.
