Chapter 266

Ran Yan followed Mrs. Xiao Tai to the side hall.

Partial hall facing water, there is no fire basin in the house, even ran Yan can feel the chilly coolness and tingle the skin.

The maid took two thick pieces of wool felt and put them on the two round waist beds in front of the window. Mrs. Xiao took a seat and reached for ran Yan to sit down.

"The window is open." Xiao Taifu was humane.

The maid tried to dissuade her, but she swallowed it again. She reached out and pushed the lattice window open. A cool breeze came suddenly.

For Mrs. Xiao's temperament, ran Yan can also guess one or two, so he doesn't try to persuade him. He just turns his head to the evening greenway and says, "take a thin mattress."

With a faint smile, Mrs. Xiao looked out at the bare lake, which was covered with ice as thin as cicada wings, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun.

The house is quiet, only occasionally the rustle of clothes.

Evening green gave the thin mattress to lady Xiao's maid. The maid took it and helped her cover it.

"Get out of here, all of you." Xiao Taifu was humane.

The maids withdrew in turn, and the door closed with a squeak. After a moment's silence, Xiao Taifu said slowly, "you are a good child."

Ran Yan raised his eyes and saw that Mrs. Xiao had a kind smile on her face. Under the light of the snow, ran Yan suddenly felt extremely kind, and unconsciously floated a smile.

"All my life, I have seen the dark struggle in the harem and the tragic change of dynasties." Mrs. Xiao Tai's experience is far from that simple two words can be summed up. She is the queen of Xiliang, the mother of empress Xiao, a noble lady of the family. She was once the queen of the world. She had experienced the subjugation of the country. She had been sent to the black hair person more than once. The ups and downs of her life are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Ran Yan is full of respect for such a woman.

Mrs. Xiao Tai saw ran Yan's attitude of respect, but she didn't seem humble. The smile on her face was stronger. "You stay with yue'er, you don't need to change your temperament. He will protect you well."

Ran Yan slightly pursed her lips. Did Mrs. Xiao want her to stay under the wings of Xiao Song?

"It's not to let you hide behind him." Mrs. xiaotai seems to be able to see through ran Yan's thoughts. Her withered fingers gently tap on the palm handle of her hand, and her eyes are not focused on the lake outside the window. "Yue'er is a child I taught, and I'm not very good at life and disposition. This is not a good way. The more he goes on, the more filthy the world will be, and the dirtier he will be. Therefore, he needs a simple person to accompany him

Mrs. Xiao Tai and Emperor Xiaoming were in trouble. They also had several legitimate sons and daughters. They were in a stable position. What's more, because she was quite skillful in politics, no concubine dared to be provoked by death. As a politician, however, it is far more cruel than the harem's scramble for favor. Sometimes a slip, not with a person's life or a family's life can be done.

Moreover, she has to find a good balance between the Empress Dowager and the politicians. She must not be a Sishen and can not be completely removed.

"As long as you take good care of yue'er, my Xiao family can also become a big tree for you to enjoy the cool." Xiao Taifu's intention is to point to Tao.

Ran Yan was stunned. Did he talk about the autopsy?

Mrs. Xiao looked at her surprised expression with satisfaction. She didn't know when she had a white jade hairpin. The first mock exam was like a white fat, a flowing cloud shape. It was like the one that Xiao gave before her.

"Have you seen this hairpin?" Mrs. Xiao Tai is acutely aware of the subtle change of Ran Yan's expression.

Ran Yan also did not conceal, "Xiao Lang Jun once gave me a hairpin of the same kind. At first, he did not know the inside story. He only said it was more valuable. Later, he learned that it was the symbol of Xiao's wife, so he returned it."

"Oh?" Mrs. Xiao Tai was very interested in ran Yan's practice and said, "why go back? Is it that Xiao's wife doesn't have the value of a hairpin?"

"No, it is because the value is too high that we must be cautious. I took that hairpin before because I felt that I could afford this hairpin with my own strength. " Ran Yan said.

Mrs. xiaotai rubbed the yunzan and dropped her eyes. She did not know what she was thinking. After a moment, she said, "I know a little about the child of Cui's six rooms. In terms of character, talent and family background, they are not under yue'er. Why not choose him?"

Many people have asked her about this question more than once. At this moment, she doesn't want to explain more. She says directly, "because I like it, because it's worth it."

Mrs. Xiao Tai nodded lightly and tapped several sides with her stick.

At once, a maid pushed the door and walked in quickly. Mrs. Xiao got up with the help of the maid. Her eyes passed over Ran's face, and her voice said in a hoarse voice, "in this case, you can be happy to marry."

Not to mention the Cui family's employment, it is the royal family's employment. This family can't escape her control. Mrs. Xiao Tai turned to the door. She had a premonition that this was the last plan of her life.

In her opinion, this matter is not too difficult at all. Before she came, she knew that Cui's side was in a stalemate with sangchen, and there were many places to think about. Perhaps because it was for the sake of her beloved grandson, or to make a complete end to her life, Mrs. Xiao was very cautious.Ran Yan was stunned, looking at the old man's slightly bent back, feeling inexplicable in his heart. When she came out of the side hall, Mrs. Xiao had already walked on the veranda leading to the inner door.

Liu Qingsong and Luo Shi stood in front of the main hall to see her off.

Luo Shi sees ran Yan come out, want to immediately ask the result, but in view of Liu Qingsong is still in the field, she had to resist. When I heard the sound of the carriage wheels on the inner door, Luo Shi said, "ah Yan, it's time for us to leave."

The Lord is gone, and there is no need for them to stay.

Ran Yan Fang wanted to reply, but was cut off by Liu Qingsong. "Princess Xiangcheng wants to see seventeen niangs. Madame Luo might as well go back first. After seeing the princess, I will send someone to send her back to her house."

Although Luo had doubts in her heart, she didn't know much about Xiao's family. She only thought that ran yanruo was the Xiangcheng princess who was ran Yan's sister-in-law after she married. She didn't know why she wanted to see ran Yan? However, it was said that Xiangcheng princess was polite and not difficult to deal with. Luo's heart was slightly relaxed and ordered ran Yan to say a few words, and then led the maid to leave.

When Luo Shi walked out of the inner door, Liu Qingsong immediately said, "Chai Xuanyi and Wenxi County Lord were attacked and nearly lost their lives. Outside the city, another unnamed man's body was found, not any one in this case. However, it is said that the condition of the corpse is very similar to that of the man found before."

"So, the corpse before is not necessarily the Yu Lang?" Ran Yan frowned.

Liu Qingsong rarely showed a serious look, smacked his lips and said, "the situation is very complicated. Let's have a look." (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start（ qidian.com ）Your support is my biggest motivation to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. )
