"You are a good boy, my aunt knows. "That year, you were going to leave with your parents, so you didn't forget to come over and tell me, and I'll know …"
As Du Su said this, he could not help but sigh.
"When did you come up?" I was so sleepy after a few bites that I couldn't take it anymore. I don't know what was going on. "
Xue Xianyun was also confused. He explained how he had climbed the mountain and how he had followed little Shamei to find Du Su's courtyard.
I heard them say that my aunt had always wanted to help my cousin with some kind of lesson, but the host didn't agree at all … Then later on, she thought it was already late, so she wanted to go back first. After taking my father's invitation, she went to visit him, only to see my aunt eating at the table … Before I could come in, two monks carried my aunt to the bed … "
Xue Ning Yun bit his lip and tasted the rust before letting go, "Then I saw Cousin Sis come running in while crying!"
"Yun!"
Xue Ning Yun raised his head and stared at her. Du Su's family wasn't as fat as they were in the past few years. After she became thinner, she seemed much older and her hair had turned white again.
"Big Brother Yun, you must be seeing things. Wei Zhao, she has already been gone for three years … "Sometimes my aunt also feels that some young lady looks like her, and the more she looks like her, the more she likes her."
If it weren't for the tears streaming down her face as she spoke, Xue Chaoyun would have thought she was hysterical.
He raised his hand again. He had held her in that moment, and her wrist was soft and cold, but now that feeling seemed to have faded, just for a short time.
His hands had calluses, and he was no longer the little boy who had been called pretty when he was a kid.
"Cousin, don't say anymore. I know everything."
After he quietly finished speaking, he fell silent.
This time, Madame Du Su really cried out loud, sobbing as she slapped her legs, "You're a good child! …" "Pity me, to have such an unfilial daughter like Du Weizhao, to have left me long ago …"
Her voice was filled with sorrow and endless grief, but it was no longer the despair and helplessness from before.
"Cousin, don't be too sad. If Wei Zhao …" Cousin … "Yes, I think she will be sad too."
When Xue Yu saw her today and saw how pitiful she looked, he realized that she was the same person he had wanted to protect in the past. He didn't know why, but he felt extremely disgusted with her and didn't want to call her "elder cousin", but it also seemed like it wasn't enough respect …
He wiped them with the handkerchief and said to him,
"It's getting late. Do you want to stay on the mountain or go back? Why not stay for the night? I'll go out and find a priest to help you find a place to stay. "
Xue Xianyun shook his head, "There's a group of people in front of the mountain. I came up from the back. I …" "I didn't want to see you and wanted to come back tomorrow to pay you a visit, so I might as well go down the mountain."
Du Su nodded her head. "Be careful on the road. In the blink of an eye, you are also an adult. You have to take care of yourself so that your mother won't follow along and worry about you."
Thinking of Mr. Cheng who was still in Pingxian, although he was a teacher of the academy, but he had medical skills, so maybe the Du Family could still save him. He quickly slammed the table, raised his voice and called for someone, but didn't call for his attendant, instead calling for a monk, "Benefactor, what orders do you have?"
Tutor Qian was startled. "Nothing, please call my servant in."
Unexpectedly, the monk smiled and said, "This is impossible. After Master goes into seclusion, this house doesn't allow secular people to enter …"
"I know about this rule. Didn't the master just come out of seclusion?" You mean, the Master is in closed door cultivation again? "
"Yes, Master said that he wrongly judged Mistress Xiao Hui to be ill. It's because he didn't excel in martial arts. This time, he's going to go into seclusion to improve himself."
Tutor Qian's cheeks twitched. "What do you mean?" Could the master have seen wrongly? "
"Yes." The monk answered in a straight line.
After all, he was a Dharma Master. If others didn't know, how could he not know? Honored Tutor Qian almost thought that the monk was joking. "Because the master saw wrongly, he mistakenly thought that the lesion wasn't actually one at all. That's why he went into seclusion?"
The monk nodded.
Tutor Qian threw himself down.
"And Wang too often?" This was a huge matter, and if the Great Master of the Law was not by his side, then wouldn't he become the scapegoat?
"Almsgiver Wang is already old and rested."
Tutor Qian's feet really hurt now.
"No, I can't stay here. I have to go down the mountain. "Could you please carry me out?"
It wasn't that he couldn't leave, it was just that he had used his injuries to bring the princess here, and it wasn't him, it was even that fella with the French style who said that the Royal Monastery couldn't take this responsibility. He, he, he could only send someone back to inform them so that he could distance himself from the temple …
Why did monks have to be called bald donkeys since ancient times? It was probably because they were too hateful!

Li Jing and Li Zhong were still waiting outside, so they naturally recognized Tutor Qian. When they saw him being carried out, they hurriedly stood up.
Tutor Qian waved his hand and directed the monk to place him on the stone seat. He clearly didn't want to say thank you, but he endured his temper and thanked him anyway.
Li Jing glanced at Li Zhong. The two of them had no idea what was going on. The princess had obviously gone in, so why did the tutor come out alone? Where's the princess? They all looked in.
Tutor Qian waved his hand. "Your Highness is fine. I said a few words to her, and she impatiently rushed over here. This is outrageous." For those of you who are in close proximity to us, you should know to stop us! "
Li Jing and Li Zhong hurriedly knelt down. They hadn't said that they wouldn't refuse when the princess was travelling, but now it didn't seem right.
"Alright, get up, it's not my place to talk about it. When the princess comes out, all of you should tell her that the Imperial Tutor's words just now were too hasty. Think about it carefully, that's not right. I'll go back and check it out and see what's right." Tell her not to take it to heart... Forget it, I'll go first so that she won't be embarrassed to see me when she comes out later. You guys have to stop them, and persuade them more, okay? "
Not only did Li Jing ponder, the Imperial Tutor had made his words sound very unpleasant.
"Call her out when I'm gone. Remember to tell the princess everything I say. "

When Tutor Qian's pageboy finally approached, he didn't bother to argue with him and beckoned him to carry him. Li Jing hurried to support him while Tutor Qian pushed his hand away. "You have to take good care of the princess, do you understand?"
The old man was acting tough but he was actually weak. He was afraid that if the wishful thinking was any good, the king might kill him if he found out. However, it was all done by a great master. It was really hard to explain … His Majesty wouldn't kill his substitute right?
When Ru Yi heard Li Jing and the rest shout, she rushed out of the room. She didn't find Tutor Qian and couldn't care less. "Everyone else stay behind. Tell Commander Zhou to follow me down the mountain!" She wanted to see royal father overnight.
This was the first time Li Jing saw the imperial concubine crying. Fortunately, his brain was still present, so he quickly told her what the Imperial Tutor had said.
Ru Yi nodded her head after she finished listening to their conversation. She then continued to rush down the mountain.
Even though Zhou Xuan couldn't just use one against a hundred, there was no problem. He immediately called out for a few kungfu and stayed in the dark while he guarded the princess and rushed forward.
As she sat on the horse, Ru Yi felt her entire body go cold. This endless night wasn't cold, but she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. The pressure of the black clouds in the sky caused her heart to feel stifled and she found it hard to breathe.
Zhou Xuan chased after her with a frown as he looked up at the sky. The weather was gloomy, but it seemed to be raining.
The Yongning Gate was tightly shut, and Ru Yi stopped her horse. She raised her head to look at the tall and majestic city gate. Yongning, Yongning, she had only prayed for the peace of the years, but why was this road so difficult for her? So painful?
The gate slowly opened with a heavy creaking sound. It was just as dark inside as outside. She gave the horse a light kick on the belly, and the horse, sensing her intentions, followed her into the gate.
After entering the door, Zhou Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The city was safer than the outside of the city, so he didn't expect this. Just as he thought about it, he heard a sound of wind pass by his ears.
Someone had followed them through the city gate!
Zhou Xuan turned his head and shouted, "Close the city gates." As he spoke, he drew his weapon.
Ru Yi was walking forward when she suddenly felt something strike her. She turned her head and saw a white robe fluttering past.
Zhou Xuan had already started fighting.
Ru Yi was stunned for a moment, she felt that that person was similar to Zhao Yun. She suddenly thought of the thing that hit her, and immediately reacted, "Stop!"
Zhou Xuan immediately sheathed his sword and retreated to her side. That person's martial arts weren't as good as his, so he retreated in front of her after hearing her words.
Ru Yi looked at the person standing in the dark night. He was dressed in white, and his head was slightly lowered. Feeling her gaze, he raised his head and looked at her anxiously.
"Step down."
Zhou Xuan looked up in surprise and shouted, "Your Highness?"
Ru Yi's voice was somewhat hoarse. "Nothing, it's someone I know."
Zhou Xuan retreated behind her without hesitation. After all, that person couldn't beat him, let alone the fact that there were quite a few guards hidden in the shadows.
Ru Yi dismounted from her horse and walked over. Along the way, she would sometimes think that her mother had always been in good health, so why did she suddenly become so sick? She sometimes wondered, if she wasn't unfilial, how could her mother be in such a critical condition?
As she thought of this, she couldn't help but blame her father. If it wasn't for her father forbidding her, she would only have told her mother a little about her being alive.
She thought of the summer heat, and how her mother would fan her until she fell asleep, and how cruel her father had been to her, and how it was no good for her to be raised as a lady, and how her mother did not care …
Her hair had already turned white. Because she was an old woman, her mother had always cared about her looks. In the past, her black hair looked extremely spirited, not showing any signs of her old age at all …
Her mother was in a coma now, and she didn't know if there was anyone around to take care of her. When she saw Big Cloud, she remembered that she was on the mountain.
