A gentleman riding a red dust smile

On the way to Baicao Zhai, Changsun Jue suddenly said, "Don't blame him..."

Song Lingshuang was a little surprised, "Who is to blame? Brother Zixuan?" He smiled, "Don't worry, I understand his painstaking efforts. He didn't come with us because he didn't want his master to treat the three of us as one. If we offend Mr. Chang because of this, there will be no one to intercede."

Changsun Jue was a little surprised.Having known each other for many years, he naturally understood Ai Zixuan's painstaking efforts, and never thought that Song Lingshuang could see through it at a glance.

"It's your blessing to have a close friend like this, Ajue." Song Lingshuang said.

Chang Sun Jue did not speak.He knew what Ai Zixuan had done for him these years.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Baicao Zhai.

Now that there is no door god Chang Qin, it is much easier to see Chang Yuan.

"The younger generation has met Mr. Chang." The elder Sun Jue bowed, and Song Lingshuang followed suit.

"Why is Huai Jing here?" Chang Yuan laughed.Over the years, because of the treatment of cold diseases, I have come into contact with him a lot, and I am much closer than before.

"The junior passed by near the imperial city, so I stopped by to pay a visit to Mr., wanting to ask some questions."

"Oh?" Chang Yuan glanced at Song Lingshuang, who was beside Sun Jue, who had changed his face.

Changsun Jue: "This person is my personal attendant, sir, don't mind."

Changsun Jue never liked to bring people by his side. Although Chang Yuan was puzzled, it was not surprising that the young suzerain of the aristocratic family brought an attendant, so he didn't care about it, "What do you want to ask?"

Changsun Jue was silent for a while, and cut straight to the point: "Mr. Chang, did you know about the death of the former crown prince three years ago?"

Changsun Jue threw out the question without preparation, but in fact he didn't want to give Chang Yuan time to react.So Song Lingshuang and Changsun Jue carefully observed each other's expressions.But Chang Yuan's cloud was so calm that no one could see the slightest flaw, he said: "The crown prince died of illness, and the whole world knows. Why does Huaijing ask me alone?"

Grandson Jue: "Three years ago, you entered the palace late at night. Three days later, the first prince died."

Chang Yuan: "Do you suspect that I killed the prince?"

Eldest Sun Jue shook his head, "Mr. has a kind heart, the younger generation dare not guess wildly, but the younger generation also does not believe in coincidences. You and the noble concubine used to be old acquaintances but you don't want to mention it. A few days after you entered the palace, the Eastern Palace changed hands. The Ninth Prince, the adopted son of the noble concubine, is on the throne. The junior is just confused, and I would like to ask sir to clarify."

After speaking, he bowed to Chang Yuanfu again.

Chang Yuan looked at him with deep eyes, "Why do you want to know? But it has something to do with the things you have investigated over the years?"

Changsun Jue nodded and met his gaze, "Mr. Chang, you saved my life, and you saved that person's life. No matter what the truth is, this junior has no intention of making waves. I just ask you to tell this junior what you know."

Chang Yuan didn't dodge, but the tone of his tone was no longer relaxed, "I can't solve your confusion. Please go back."

Chang Yuan is not often angry, but if he is really angry, it is probably at this moment.The gentleness in the weekdays has been suppressed, and the non-angry prestige gives people a great sense of oppression.

Changsun Jue was glad that Chang Yuan didn't tear himself apart, but he also knew that there was nothing left to ask today, so he exchanged glances with Song Lingshuang, bowed and left without further words.

The two returned to the inn, but Changsun Jue didn't say a word.

Song Lingshuang comforted: "You don't have to be discouraged, I didn't expect to ask anything. If he is really the person behind the scenes, how can he show his flaws so easily? Go and clarify the words, just to see what he will do. How to react, and by the way, if you can find any clues between his words and attitudes, then you have earned it."

Changsun Jue shook his head. Over the years, he has had much more contact with Chang Yuan than before, so he naturally understands it better, "Mr. Chang's attitude today has shown that at least he can't say he didn't know anything about what happened in the palace three years ago."

Song Lingshuang: "Why?"

Changsun Jue looked gloomy, "From the beginning to the end, Mr. Chang has only been throwing the problem at us, but he has never denied his relationship with this matter."

Chang Yuan is his father's old friend, and has saved the lives of the two of them many times. He still refuses to believe that he has anything to do with what happened ten years ago.

But even so, there was nothing they could do, they could only leave the imperial city temporarily and find a place to secretly observe whether there was any movement in Chang Yuan.

But before the two left the imperial city, Ai Zixuan approached the door.

"Brother Zixuan, if you come and teach us a lesson, you can save energy, and we are going to leave now." Song Lingshuang said consciously when he saw Ai Zixuan.

Ai Zixuan seemed a little surprised, and then said: "I wanted to scold you a few words to vent my anger, but unfortunately, I came to speak."

Song Lingshuang: "Who are you taking?"

"Who else? My master's!" Ai Zixuan sighed and looked at Changsun Jue, "Master said that he couldn't solve your confusion about what happened ten years ago. The death of the prince has nothing to do with him. Others Yes, he can only use his own life to guarantee that the disaster will not come out of the imperial city."

All three were silent.

It was Ai Zixuan who opened the mouth first: "Since I started, Master has taught me that if a doctor saves someone, he should never hurt someone's life unless he protects himself. About the crown prince's death three years ago, even if he really knew something, I don't know. I also don't believe that he was able to kill the prince. Although the master doesn't want to say it clearly, I believe him."

Song Lingshuang did not respond immediately.After listening to Ai Zixuan's words, he was already shaken.

Chang Yuan's words are clear and clear. What happened ten years ago has nothing to do with me. I know something about the change of owner of the East Palace but I don't intend to tell you.

If it was really him who was behind the scenes, he could pretend to be noble and ignore them, so why bother to spread this word to let them know that something strange happened to the royal family three years ago?

His thoughts were racing but he didn't say much, he just patted Ai Zixuan on the shoulder and said: "Whether it is or not, we are leaving. I hope that the person you trust is worthy of this trust."

Ai Zixuan no longer struggled, but changed the subject, and said to Changsun Jue, "Since you are leaving, you can go to the medicine spring to take a dip." He glanced at Song Lingshuang, "I don't know when I will come again next time. return."

If Song Lingshuang hadn't been there, Changsun Jue would have been punctual when he came to Yaoquan once a month, but with this person, Ai Zixuan really couldn't tell if he would be so obedient.

Changsun Jue thought for a while, nodded, and stopped in front of the door, looking suspiciously at Ai Zixuan who hadn't moved.He thought he was going to leave with him.

Ai Zixuan gave him a blank look, "What are you looking at? I'll talk to brother Ling Shuang before leaving, you go first!"

Changsun Jue did not move.

Ai Zixuan sighed, "Don't worry." It means that you don't want to say it, so I won't say more.

Only then did Changsun Jue leave.

Listening to the sound of footsteps walking away, Song Lingshuang poured a cup of tea for Ai Zixuan, and said with a smile, "Brother Zixuan, what is your order? Or are you changing your mind and planning to tell me why Ai Zixuan's cold disease relapsed?"

Ai Zixuan: "You've seen it too. I dare not say a word that shouldn't be said. If you have anything, you can ask me."

Song Lingshuang: "Then what do you want to say?"

Ai Zixuan suddenly looked serious: "No one can persuade him to follow you. But I want to ask you, do you really have the heart to put him in danger?"

Song Lingshuang was taken aback, then smiled, and said seriously: "Brother Zixuan, I didn't come back this time to disturb anyone's peace. I just want to know what happened more than ten years ago, whether my Song family is really I should bear this infamy. No matter how things develop, I will definitely not put A Jue in danger."

Ai Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still worried: "You have no intention, but the world is unpredictable, and people's wishes are often hard to come by. Forget it, you just need to know that he is stronger and more fragile than ten years ago!"

Powerful refers to the state, and fragile refers to the body and mind.

Song Lingshuang looked at Ai Zixuan with a grim expression: "Don't worry, even if I risk my life, I will protect him well."

Ai Zixuan sighed and thought, if you think so, I'm afraid he is too.That's all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, why bother me.

He nodded and said: "Although I am not as good as Master in alchemy, if there is a brother who can help, you are welcome."

Song Lingshuang was grateful in his heart, but he couldn't be serious on his face, "It's really there! How about a dozen beauty pills first?"

Ai Zixuan: "..."

Some people can really go to heaven just by showing their faces.Huai Jing, Huai Jing, what kind of eyes do you think you have?

After more than an hour, Changsun Jue returned to the inn.

"Where's Zixuan?" Changsun Jue asked.

"Leave early." Song Lingshuang replied.

"What did he tell you?" Changsun Jue asked again.

Song Lingshuang smirked: "How many ulterior secrets do you have, why are you so guilty?"

Changsun Jue pretended nothing happened: "I'm just curious."

Song Lingshuang raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest: "Why don't you guess a few, and I think you're right?"

Changsun Jue returned him a meaningful smile: "Senior brother is very scheming!"

In the past, Changsun Jue would only call Song Lingshuang when he was extremely angry, so Song Lingshuang's heart skipped a beat subconsciously.It was hoped that there was no anger on Chang Sun Jue's face in the past, but there was a smile in his long eyes, which added a bit of ambiguity to this senior brother out of thin air.

Song Lingshuang's heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly became bloodshot.He didn't know what had happened in these years, anyway, he seemed to be getting more and more unable to control the current Changsun Jue.

He turned his face away and coughed a few times, "It's really nothing to talk about, just a few words. I think Brother Zixuan has been suffocated all these years, and no one has spoken to him to feel unhappy."

The corners of Changsun Jue's lips curled up imperceptibly, and he quickly said seriously, "Actually, I think Mr. Chang has nothing to do with the Red Flame Plague."

If Song Lingshuang still had some doubts before, he is relieved now.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."

If the person he trusts most in this world believes in a person, then he will also choose to believe in that person.Unfortunately, this means that this thread is broken.

Song Lingshuang was silent for a moment and then changed the subject, "Let me ask you, if the talisman you used in Huajialing to remove people's memory is a pile of bones, would it still work?"

"As long as the obsession is deep enough, it will work." Changsun Jue said.

Song Lingshuang gave a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

Changsun Jue: "If you want to learn, I can teach you at any time."

Song Lingshuang: "Of course I have to learn, but I have to trouble you to accompany me for another trip."

"Where are you going?"

"Revisit the old place, Winged Tiger Den."

The two walked with the sword, and came down to rest when they were tired.Song Lingshuang didn't have many "beauty pills" left, and wearing a cloak would get in the way, so he avoided big towns as much as possible.

At this moment, the two of them built a fire in the deserted mountains and roasted the game they had just hunted.

Song Lingshuang looked at Changsun Jue beside the fire.

Once upon a time, he was also dressed in white with loose hair, and his face was warmed by the firelight.It's just that now the outline has faded away from its greenness, and it is more gentle, which is to make everyone who takes a look at it tempted.

Song Lingshuang suddenly asked, "A Jue, you have done many things with me, why don't you ask me why?"

Changsun Jue raised his eyes, and there was a dancing fire in his eyes.

He asked, "You want me to ask?"

Song Lingshuang didn't answer, just looked at him and smiled.

Chang Sun Jue looked back at the roasted wild boar leg and said, "You have your own reasons."

Song Lingshuang smiled bitterly, "14 years ago, I lost everything overnight." He stuffed some branches into the fire, "I am very unwilling and angry. I know that everything that was taken away will never come back. But I want somebody to pay for it."

Speaking of this, he looked a little self-deprecating, "But I don't know, I have to pay the price myself."

Changsun Jue listened quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"Back then on Ten Thousand Ghosts Cliff, Master once told me that everything he did was to let me have a family to return to. In my father's Ender Shadow, he urged me to live forever."

He raised his head and met Changsun Jue's warm eyes, "The past is over, and the road ahead, there is no need to repay grievances. It took me ten years to figure out this truth. But those who died cannot die in vain."

His eyes met the eyes of his superior Sun Jue.

"It's at ease." Changsun Jue said slowly and softly.

Song Lingshuang smiled, "Yes, I feel at ease." He seemed to look at Changsun Jue with deep meaning, "Senior brother, I have a heart-to-heart with you. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Changsun Jue met his gaze, "What do you want to know?"

I want to know why your cold disease relapsed. I want to know who caused the injury on your back. I want to know what you have suffered in the past ten years.

But he didn't ask, he wanted to hear what he said.

Thousands of words turned into a touch of loneliness between the eyebrows, Song Lingshuang smiled and said, "It's nothing."

He looked away, "The meat is ready, let's eat."
