In the early morning, the mountains and forests are empty and quiet, everything seems to be in a deep sleep, and the song of the kingfisher on the branches is melodious, and they are using this beautiful voice to wake up the sleeping mountains and forests.

Xuanye was woken up by the sound of birdsong, and Li Dequan took care of washing him, and complained: "It's rare that I don't have to go to the morning court these days, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by a few birds."

"Long Live Lord, don't worry, I'll find a pole and drive all the birds away." Li Dequan bowed and said.

Xuan Ye's face froze, he stared and said: "Remember to slap your mouth when you go back!"

Li Dequan lightly slapped himself on the face, and said with a naive smile: "Master, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again."

"Okay, pass the meal quickly."

"Chuan... Chuan Shan?" Li Dequan was stunned.

Xuan Ye's face was displeased, and he scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you pass the meal quickly."

"Don't pass it on, the food is here." Mu Min said angrily, "I said Mr. Huang, you are really leisurely, and the other young masters got up before dawn to help with the herbal medicine. You You sleep until the sun is on top of your head, and you want me to bring you breakfast, it is more comfortable than the emperor."

Xuan Ye turned dark and said to Li Dequan: "Hurry up and take the things from the girl's hand, don't you see that she is full of resentment?"

Naturally, Mu Min refused to suffer, and counterattacked: "Ama said you are a distinguished guest, but in my opinion, a distinguished guest is an idler. If you treat an idler with anger, you are asking for trouble."

"You!" Xuan Ye became angry from embarrassment, but couldn't speak for a while.

"What's wrong with me, if you are not an idler, then prove it to me, or you wash the basket of herbs outside, or you wash these bowls." Mu Min smiled half-smile, deliberately teasing Xuan Ye .

Xuan Ye sat down, drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls, and said, "Wash it, just wash it!"

"Okay, then I'll wait." Mu Min walked out holding back a smile, completely ignoring Xuan Ye's fierce eyes.

Li Dequan whispered in Xuan Ye's ear: "I don't need to be angry with the little girl, my heart is for the country, how can a little girl understand it."

"Hmph, nonsense, hurry up and wash the dishes."

With a bitter face, Li Dequan replied helplessly: "Your servant will go now."

Xuan Ye reached out to stop him: "Wait a minute, fetch some water and go back to the house to wash."

"Cha." Li Dequan groaned in his heart, his master was angry with others, and in the end, the most pitiful one was naturally his servant.

The "idle people" in the room were frightened because of their anger for a while, and kept watching Mu Min's figure, for fear that she would come in and chatter.The nobles outside the house were afraid of being called "idlers" by Mu Min, so they consciously helped Mu Min organize the herbs, but instead caused trouble and made Mu Min flustered.

Ruoxin picked up the basket and said to Mu Min: "Ama went down the mountain to apply medicine today, I'm afraid I won't be able to return at noon, if I don't come back, you have to remember to change the medicine for Mr. Cao."

"Well, sister, be careful."

Ruoxin smiled and said to Rong Ruo and Fuquan: "You two young masters, go back to the house, let Mu Min come here."

Fuquan put down the herbs, wiped his hands and said, "Our hands are clumsy, causing trouble for the two girls, Miss Zhang, be careful all the way."

"Yes, young masters, let's go into the house." Ruoxin glanced at Rong Ruo, and it happened that Rong Ruo was looking at her, Ruoxin turned around in a hurry, and walked towards the stone steps.

Ruoxin went down the mountain to collect herbs with a basket on her back, and when she bypassed the dense forest, there was grass. It was approaching noon, and the sun was a bit scorching. Ruoxin's back was pressed against the basket, and she could clearly feel that her back was already wet.

The distant flute sound from one end of the mountain forest is quiet and low. It is not "Long Lovesickness" or "Long Love Memories", but "Jiangchengzi" by Su Dongpo.Ruoxin couldn't help slowing down her pace, listening quietly to the sound of the flute.Suddenly remembering the heart and soul of Rong Ruo when she was playing the piano that night, Ruo Xin felt a surge of excitement in her heart.

"Ten years of life and death are boundless. If you don't think about it, you will never forget it. Su Dongpo stayed alone for his dead wife all his life, which is really commendable."

"There is no place to talk about desolation in a lonely grave for thousands of miles. Although Su Dongpo is full of affection, it is not what his wife wants to die alone like this."

"Accompanying each other with body and soul, it is not lonely like this."

"Excuse me, is it true that Mr. Nalan intends to follow Su Dongpo's example and live alone for his dead wife?"

"You'er is my regret in this life, even if I have to spend my whole life alone for her, I am willing, but..."

"Just what?"

"Just like Miss Ruoxin said, it's just that You'er didn't want it, what's more..."

"What's more?"

"Hehe, no—what."

"Please forgive me, if this is the case, why should Mr. Nalan seal his heart?"

"It's not blocking, but waiting, waiting for the person I'm waiting to open."

"Wait for who?"

"An old friend, even if we don't know each other when we meet, what I'm waiting for is the heart, not the person."

"That is to say, Mr. Nalan has already found that old man?"

"Long lovesickness, conceives a dead wife; long-term remembrance, bestows on the deceased..."

You'er was his late wife, and also the one he couldn't part with in this life.So, who is that old man?Ruoxin walked out of her memories, and unexpectedly found that she had walked the wrong hill...

It is said that "the heights are unbearably cold", but the temperature at noon is extremely hot, and the birds are still nesting, and the whole mountain forest is quiet in an instant.Xuanye and the others were too lazy to go out and stayed in the room to discuss matters, only Li Dequan guarded the door under the sun.

Cao Yin drew out his sword, took some water with a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the sword.Xuan Ye unfolded a picture, pointed to the center of the picture, and said to the other three people: "This is Cai Yanqi's old lair, and this is the city tower. In order to deceive people, let's go separately tomorrow, and I and the second brother will go first. Then follow, and we will meet again when we arrive in Jinan."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the emperor and Prince Yu to go. Why don't we disguise ourselves and go together, so that I can protect the emperor and the prince at any time." Cao Yin said after putting away his sword.

Rong Ruo said: "Cai Yanqi is very treacherous and cunning, it would be too ostentatious for the four of us to go together, and it would have exposed our whereabouts."

Cao Yin said worriedly: "But this..."

Xuan Ye said calmly: "Rong Ruo is right. Before leaving the palace, I ordered Suo'etu to send people to stay outside Jinan City. No one should recognize us along the way, so there is no need to worry."

Rong Ruo nodded and said: "Actually, it is best for the emperor to go with the prince. The emperor is good at swords, and the prince is good at punching. A fist and a sword will not let this old fox Cai Yanqi take advantage of the loopholes."

Just at this time, there was an urgent knock on the door outside the house, and Xuan Ye asked vigilantly, "Who is it?"

"Master, it's Miss Mu Min."

Fuquan quickly put away the map on the table and said, "Please come in."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Min pushed the door and entered, her face was full of tears, and she mumbled in her mouth: "My sister went down to collect herbs and hasn't come back. It's... It's been several hours, you... Which of you sent someone to Look for it."

"Miss Mu Min, don't worry, maybe she'll come back after a while." Cao Yin was kind enough to comfort him, but Mu Min slammed his face at him and said: "It's not your sister, of course you don't worry, you can stay in the room at leisure." , tell me, who cares about whether my sister is back, my sister is collecting medicine in the mountains alone..." Mu Min wiped his tears as he spoke.

Rong Ruo quickly passed between Fuquan and Cao Yin, and rushed out of the door like flying.Fuquan chased after him and said, "Wait, let's hear Miss Mu Min finish."

Fuquan and Rongruo searched at the foot of the mountain, Cao Yin took Li Dequan to search in the valley, Xuan Ye stayed on the mountain with Mu Min, and the two waited for Zhang Haikuan to come back after applying the medicine.The six people were all concerned, and after more than an hour passed, there was still no sign of Ruoxin.

Flying around in the mountains under the scorching sun, no one can stand it.Rong Ruo's thin robe was completely attached to his body, and the sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but he didn't notice it at all.Fuquan didn't care about wiping his sweat, panting heavily, and kept walking in circles in the forest casually.

Rong Ruo's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, turning around in place over and over again, but Ruo Xin's figure was still nowhere to be seen.He suddenly stopped, picked up the short flute and put it under his lips, Fuquan couldn't help but stop and concentrate, listening to the sound in the depths of the forest.The birds perched on the branches scattered everywhere with the sound of the flute, and the sound of the flapping wings of the birds almost overwhelmed the sound of the flute.Rong Ruo put down the short flute in disappointment, exchanged a glance with Fu Quan, and then moved on.

In the depths of the mountain forest, there were indeed bursts of noise. If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to distinguish the cry of a wild boar.The wild boar's secretive calls were mixed with despairing sighs.Ruoxin leaned against the tree helplessly, hugging her trembling knees tightly, her eyes full of fear.I thought that hearing the sound of the flute meant seeing hope, but when the sound of the flute approached, it stopped abruptly, and Ruo Xin lost her way completely.

The wild boar in front of her was approaching step by step with the sound of sighs, Ruoxin closed her eyes instinctively, held her breath, and had already prepared for the worst.Ruoxin couldn't help trembling all over, but she didn't dare to move.Just when he felt the faint wetness between his fingers, there was a sharp howling of pigs in his ears.

"Miss Ruoxin, it's all right." As if she was still in a dream, Ruoxin didn't dare to open her eyes, Fuquan stretched out her hand and said, "Go, if you smell blood, the wild boars around will attack you."

Ruoxin dared to open her eyes when she heard it was Fuquan's voice. Fear forced her to throw herself into Fuquan's arms.

"It's all right, it's all right." Fu Quan's right hand was hanging in the air, he hesitated for a while, seeing that Ruo Xin was still crying hard, he couldn't help patting her on the back.

Seeing this scene, Rong Ruo silently turned and left.Fuquan's palm made her feel very stable, and it was this stability that made her come out of the panic. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked up to find that Rong Ruo was far away from her.

Ruoxin was about to pick up the basket on the ground, but Fuquan picked it up first: "Let me do it."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang Yu." Ruo Xin was absent-minded, she just wanted to catch up with Rong Ruo quickly.

"Be careful!" Fuquan quickly took a step forward, blocking Ruoxin with his whole body.During the confusion, Ruoxin saw a wild boar running from the side, Fuquan threw the basket at the wild boar, but unfortunately the basket was too heavy, Fuquan strained his arm too much.

Ruoxin exclaimed: "Young Master Huang Yu, are you okay!"

"Go away!" Rong Ruo shouted, the short flute spun a few times in the air, and landed steadily on top of the wild boar's head, the wild boar ran away in pain, the short flute fell to the ground, and broke in two immediately.

All three of them looked at the broken flute on the ground stupidly, no one stepped forward, and the whole forest seemed to freeze for a moment.
