If Shui immediately went up and patted the door, after a while, he heard an impatient voice from inside: "Who is it again?"

While speaking, the door was opened.

A middle-aged man in his forties poked his head out and looked at them suspiciously, seeing that Nan Yan's dress was extraordinary, and the impatient expression on his face was slightly reduced. He just asked: "You, yes Who? What are you going to do?"

If the water pressure lowered his voice, he said confidently: "This is the imperial concubine, come here to see the situation of the Xue family. What do you say we are going to do!"

"The imperial concubine?"

When the gatekeeper heard this, his face paled in fright, and he hurried forward to salute.

Nan Yan raised his hand to stop him, and said indifferently: "My palace only comes here to take a look, and there is no need to preach."

The man immediately opened the door and accepted Nan Yan and the others in.

This person was also named Xue, and his name was Xue Fang. He was a distant relative of Xue Yun out of Wufu. After the Xue family moved, their house was unwilling to leave the place where they lived for generations, so they simply stayed to see the house. He knew the details of the Xue family, and naturally knew the relationship between the Xue family and the court, so when he heard that the imperial concubine was coming, he naturally changed his face in fright, and only followed Nan Yan to serve.

He cautiously said: "The little man has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, I hope Niang Niang will forgive her sin. Where does the Niang Niang look? The villain will prepare immediately."

"No need,"

Nan Yan walked in with Ruoshui, and said, "My palace will come and stroll around. You can do your own thing."

Xue Fang wanted to say something but stopped, but he really didn't dare to say anything, so he could only salute Nan Yan, and then carefully retreated.

Nan Yan has been here in the past, and has quite an impression of this Dongfangtang, but now, there is no longer the scene of the people coming and going, the whole lobby has been cleaned up, and the medicine cabinet that occupies a whole wall is now It was also cleaned, and I think it should have been emptied. However, there is still a faint, unnoticeable fragrance of medicine in the air. I think it is also left by medicinal materials for many years, and it will not easily disperse.

Ruo Shui looked up at the carved beams and pillars in this lobby, and couldn't help sighing, "It's so stylish here."

Nan Yan smiled and said: "Bailong City is already rich, and the Xue family is a big family that monopolizes the trade of medicinal materials between the east and the west. Back then, they also had business dealings with the country. Can you not be rich?"

Ruoshuidao: "Just like the earth emperor."

After speaking, she immediately came back to her senses, and slapped her own mouth: "The slave and the maidservant have lost a word."

Nan Yan glared at her, and said, "You can try to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, and you won't break your mouth!"

If Shui spit out her tongue, shrank her neck and walked behind her like a young wife, she didn't dare to say any more. Seeing that there was nothing to see in the lobby, Nan Yan walked to a side door at the back. Can't help but whispered: "Where is the mother going? Does the mother know the way here?"

Nan Yan walked back and said, "I have been here before in this palace, and I came here with the emperor to see Xue Yun. At that time, she was still the eldest son of the Xue family, but she was not easy to see people. , Asking her to check her pulse would cost a thousand dollars. Speaking of which, Cheng Jun still saved her because she was in a bad mood."

Ruo Shui said in surprise: "She has such a big score?"

Nan Yan smiled and glanced back at her: "Didn't you say it belongs to the Emperor Tu?"

Ruo Shui shrank his neck in fright again.

Nan Yan smiled and turned his head to continue walking forward, looking at the surrounding scenery as he walked, and barely found a way, and said, "Fortunately, there is no rectification here. My palace still remembers this way."

While they were talking, they went out of the back door of the lobby, bypassed a corridor, passed through a small courtyard, and walked along the path for a while. Ruoshui suddenly said, "Look, madam!"

As soon as Nan Yan looked up, he saw a piece of scorched earth ahead.

That was the courtyard where Xue Yun lived before. Nan Yan was still a little impressed with this place once. There was a two-story small building in the middle of the courtyard. It was originally a very elegant and quiet residence, but now that the small building is already Completely collapsed, not in a scorched broken wall, in the middle of the entire manor, it was like a hole burned out by fire in the delicate silk.

Ruoshui said softly, "This is where Master Chen came back to report that the Xue family was burned?"

Nan Yan nodded softly.

Ruo Shui sighed, "It must be beautiful, it's a shame to burn."

Nan Yan gave a bitter smile and looked around again. It was obvious that after the Xue family moved to the interior, only the one who was watching the house was left here, and there was not even one person in the entire yard. She walked over slowly and found that the surrounding area was still very clean. It was just that the burned courtyard probably did not intend to renovate it. It just cleared some things out, and the surrounding courtyard was not affected. Obviously, the fire was just The small building where Xue Yun lived was burned down.

I don't know if she, who is far away in Shu, knows about this, if she knows, what will she feel like.

Although thinking about it now, this small building is more like an exquisite cage set by her mother. Gu Ran is a great fortunate to escape here, but after all, it is also the place where she grew up, and she may be a little reluctant.

I don’t know if it’s because of the quiet surroundings, Ruo Shui couldn’t help lowering his voice, and followed Nan Yan to the burned courtyard. Even the gate of the courtyard was half-collapsed in front of him, and there was nothing left in the surrounding courtyard. , She whispered softly: "But Niang, it's all burned here, and there is no one I recognize. What are we doing here?"

Before Nan Yan had time to answer, he heard a whispering voice from the front.

Someone?

Ruo Shui was so scared that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly walked to Nan Yan to block her behind, and said loudly to the ruins in front of him, "Who?!"

The people inside also heard her voice, as if shocked, Nan Yan immediately saw a shadow retreating into a scorched broken wall.

who?

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing would happen in this quiet courtyard. If the water was so scared and sweat came out, and at this moment, several guards who had been secretly protecting the concubine from a short distance all jumped out, two of them Immediately rushed forward, pulled out the knife at his waist and protected Nan Yan and Ruoshui behind him, shouting to the front: "Who, come out!"

The remaining guards immediately bypassed the broken walls on both sides, rushed to the back, and surrounded the entire ruins.

That gangster must not be able to escape!

At this moment, the people inside seemed to feel something, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Slowly do it."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone was stunned.

Then, a familiar figure slowly walked out from behind the ruins.
