Chapter 11 Citrus Fragrance

The two hugged each other and spun down in the air, Lan'er Qiushui's eyes flashed with fright, Shuozhen stared affectionately, his brows were tangled, and he raised his hand to gently touch the hair that had slipped from her forehead. hair strands.

A delicate face that he missed day and night was exposed in front of his eyes, his eyes reflected the brilliance of the moonlight, reflecting his sentimental expression.

"Lan'er, is it really you?" Shuozhen's eyes were blurred, greedily admiring the beauty in his arms at the moment.

"It's Lan'er, it's the emperor's Lan'er." She sighed softly, her voice as ethereal as the distant sky.

"You miss me as much as I miss you, right? So you came to see me? Are you here for me?" His voice was urgent, eager with a hint of excitement.

"...Yes, I came here for you." Lan'er lifted her up with a little hesitation, caressed Shuozhen's resolute face, and looked at it tenderly.

"So, you don't blame me anymore, do you? Don't hate me anymore, do you?" He eagerly held her hand in his palm, and kissed every finger of her softly, as if longing for her forgiveness.

"Well, Lan'er has never blamed the emperor, never once." She frowned slightly, and slowly held his head in her arms. He sniffed the faint citrus scent on her body, and the familiar scent made her feel familiar. People are sentimental.

"Okay, just don't blame me, just don't blame me." He murmured, hugging her tightly, like a child acting like a baby in his mother's arms, innocent and unsuspecting.

"Then the emperor should take care of it, Lan'er is gone." She gently pushed him away, and her enchanting figure flew into the air, gradually drifting away.

"Don't leave, Lan'er, don't leave me!" He stubbornly chased after her and refused to let go. This was his long-awaited two years before he finally got his long-cherished wish to see her, how could he say goodbye so easily.

"Farewell, Your Majesty..." She brushed his hand away and gradually drifted away, following the breeze in the bamboo forest, following the moonlight in the quiet night...

Shuozhen stood where he was, his blurred eyes gradually cleared up, his slightly squinted eyes became sharper, and his resolute face was solemn and dignified.

Overnight, rumors spread throughout the palace that the ghost of Concubine Lan appeared.Some people say that Concubine Lan looks like a deadly ghost with disheveled hair, while others say that she is a ghost without feet floating around.There are even rumors that she is a grieving ghost with a blood-red tongue sticking out, and various versions are circulating...

In the early morning, the sky was clear, the sun slanted into the 'Xu Lan' house, the dewdrops from last night remained on the branches, crystal clear, the breeze was blowing, and the bright white clouds set off the clear blue sky. It was a beautiful morning.

Zhan Linglong was wearing a white skirt full of pink peonies, and was lazily lying on the white jade bed by the window.The potted plants by the window are filled with citrus seeds.

It is the season of citrus blooming in May, and elegant and beautiful small white flowers are wrapped around the scattered stamens to bloom. The faint citrus fragrance between the nostrils is striking, with a fresh and pleasant sense of comfort.

Zhan Linglong closed his eyes slightly, feeling extremely comfortable, Zhan Jin thoughtfully stepped forward to cover her with the cloak that had fallen off.

Footsteps came from outside the gate of the 'Xu Lan' courtyard, and the maids in the courtyard trotted all the way to the inside, and hurriedly bowed respectfully, "Mr. I can’t stop it, I’m afraid it’s already outside the door.”

Zhan Linglong waved his hands, and Zhan Jin said coldly to the palace maid: "Go down, it's none of your business."

"Yes." The maid stepped back carefully.

"Oops! It seems that our sisters came at the wrong time, and Sister Ling is still resting." Lu Mengyao, the daughter of General Lu at the time, was the first to speak out, speaking politely, but she did not intend to leave.

"Since Sister Ling is resting, let's go back first." Zhao Yiran, the younger daughter of the current prime minister, said in a low voice. Although she is the daughter of the prime minister, she is not arrogant and domineering. He has a brave spirit, and looks like he is not afraid of anything.

"Yes, logically speaking, we should go back in this situation, but we came here because we have something important to do. We haven't talked about this matter yet, so how can we go back." The daughter of Shang Shu, He Yuezhi, looked gentle and elegant.

"My servant pays respects to the three nobles, and I'm going to prepare refreshments for the three of you." Zhan Jin was gentle and reasonable, and quietly retreated after glancing at his young master.

"Linglong is really sick today and can't get up. I hope everyone will take care of her disrespect." Zhan Linglong raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the three of them through a shallow gap, and then closed it again, apparently chasing each other. guest means.

"Sister, it's my sister who disturbed you. My sister is not feeling well, so I need Imperial Physician Xuan to come and take a look." The younger Yigui said with concern, with worry in his eyes.

Yao Guiren glared at her, if it wasn't for the crowd's congratulations, she wouldn't have called Yigui, this stupid girl, she really thought they were here to greet her.

Yue Guiren smiled slightly, but did not insist on a word.

"Thank you, sister Yiran, for your concern. It's okay. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night, and now my head hurts a little." Zhan Linglong pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, and stroked his forehead with his slender fingers. Zhao Yiran really cared about him. There is such a woman in my life who is free from impurities and has a clear heart like water. It is really commendable. I only hope that I will not be polluted by the people around me in the future.

"That's good." Yigui nodded, feeling relieved.

"I think my sister didn't sleep because of... Concubine Lan, okay?" Yao Guiren unceremoniously sat on the mahogany carved mahogany chair opposite Zhan Linglong, looking at the 'Xu Lan' palace without any trace, her body trembling slightly , must have been a little scared, if it wasn't for the clear sky at this moment, and if there were no other people to accompany her, she would never have stepped into the 'Xu Lan' Zhai.

"Sister Mengyao, why do you explain this? Linglong doesn't understand." Zhan Linglong slowly opened his eyes, and instead of looking at Yao Guiren, his eyes fell on the citrus petals, and he gently twisted the white petals with his fingers. Thoughtful, the green jade bracelet on his wrist reflected the white arm, delicate and seductive.

"Sister, you don't have to hide it. No one in the palace knows about the haunting of the 'Xu Lan' Palace." Yue Guiren stepped forward, stood by the window, and looked at the blue sky before daring to speak. Say the word ghost.

"Really? It's a pity that Linglong has never heard of it. I think it must be a rumor. My own palace is haunted. Is there a reason I don't know?" Zhan Linglong put the petals on the tip of his nose, sniffing carefully, The fragrance is comfortable, no wonder Concubine Lan likes it, it really makes people feel refreshed, if there are no two people in front of them, today will be better.

"Okay, okay, I, Lu Mengyao, am a straightforward person, I don't like to beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point, we don't care if there are ghosts or not, but I just heard that the emperor came last night, can there be such a thing? "Yao Guiren is sitting on pins and needles at the moment, talking about Concubine Lan always makes her hair stand on end, and she just wants to leave this place quickly.

Zhan Linglong picked a petal and rubbed it back and forth between his fingers, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"Sister, don't get me wrong, we sisters are just curious. I think we heard from the beginning of the draft that the emperor loved Concubine Lan. Since the death of Concubine Lan, the emperor has no intention of having a harem. The queen mother is worried about the royal blood, so she drafted for the emperor. We Ten people were selected as nobles, and they are all the queen mother's decree. It has been three months now, and we have lived in this palace compound for a month. Longyan has never witnessed it once, even from a distance It's good to have a look.

Now I heard that my sister served the emperor last night, so I came here to chat with my sister, and it has relieved our sister's loneliness. "Yue Guiren narrated, speaking with sincerity, and when he was emotional, he even wiped away the tears from his cheeks with the brocade handkerchief in his hand.

A gust of wind blew by, and the room was filled with the fragrance of citrus. Zhan Linglong was still playing with the petals in his hand, without raising his head, his voice was quiet and ethereal, as if it was coming from a distance, "The fragrance of citrus is from Lan The favorite of the concubine, I think it is the flowery air that attracts the Lord of All Saints, and the two finally meet to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

But this is really not something that a person like me who is lucky and poor can get. I have never seen Longyan. At this moment, I believe what sister Mengyao said, maybe the emperor really came last night. " Zhan Linglong's expression is misty, the beautiful autumn water eyes are full of a pool of clear water, the distance is empty and silent, he seems to be imagining the scene of Concubine Lan meeting the emperor in his heart, and he seems to be regretting that he has not been able to see Longyan.

"You...don't pretend to be a ghost, tell me, what method did you use to attract the emperor." Yao Guiren staggered and rushed to Zhan Linglong, asking him, she looked around in horror, and shouted excitedly: "Actually... In fact, you used this garden at all. No matter who lives in this garden, the emperor will come here because he misses... Miss her. Is this how you took the opportunity to confuse the emperor?"

"Sister Yao, what's the matter with you? Didn't you agree to come to see Sister Ling? Why are you bringing up these topics? People are so scared." Yigui was young and timid, but she didn't Bad thoughts, not as panicked as Yao Guiren's guilt.

"Whatever you think, I don't need to explain." Zhan Linglong smashed the petals in his hands, sat up, the cloak slipped off his shoulders, and fell onto the bed, his voice was as cold as snow in winter, "I I'm tired, see off."

The maidservant who had been standing on the side bowed her head and said, "Yes." She stood by the door and waited for the three noblemen.

"You don't need to be hypocritical. You want to replace her as the head of the harem. It's not that easy. The emperor will not be fooled by you." Fear, this garden should also be robbed.

Zhan Linglong got up and closed the windows one by one, and looked back at Yao Guiren with a smile, with a charming smile, and said in a frivolous tone: "So what? I just want to replace Concubine Lan, so what?"

"You...you sinister villain! You..." Yao Guiren said angrily.

The emperor is here! ... It was too late for the maidservant's high-pitched voice to yell, before her words fell, Shuozhen's people had already entered the 'Xu Lan' Zhai.

Everyone was startled, only Zhan Linglong twitched the corners of his lips slightly, he had already expected that he would definitely come here, but it was earlier than expected.
