Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

"What are you doing?"

Winking at Honghu and the other five people, they immediately exited the room and closed the door tightly. Qingyun put down the tea cup, stepped forward to help Zhilan up, and signaled Lin Han to get up, holding Zhilan's hand and walking to the main seat. He sat down on the chair and said slightly reproachfully: "You and I are like sisters. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. Why are you so unfamiliar?"

There were too many people at the city gate before, so she never spoke to Zhi Lan. Now when she looked carefully, Zhi Lan was obviously thinner and more haggard than she was more than a month ago. There was sadness and pain that could not be concealed between her eyebrows. It makes people feel pity and worry.

The fifth brother said that Zhi Lan once went to Tianlao to visit Lin Yudeng, but the fifth brother was worried that Zhilan would be taken advantage of by Lin Yudeng, so he secretly ordered the jailer not to let Zhilan go in.

After doing this several times, Zhi Lan did not go to Tianlao again, and Sima Chun also turned Zhi Lan away from the palace. Zhi Lan had no choice but to stay in her former palace, eating fast and chanting Buddha's prayers day and night devoutly.

It seems that Lin Han is not much better. His once handsome face is a bit dull, and he has grown a thick and short black beard. His right arm hangs weakly by his side. He is really useless. His dark black robe looks a bit loose, and his whole body Desolate and silent.

Presumably, he was worried that Zhi Lan would become decadent. After all, Zhi Lan lived in the palace, and he, a foreign minister, could not freely enter the palace to visit Zhi Lan during the day. The palace was even more heavily guarded at night, and he could not break in without informing her either. In Zhilan's case, of course he was very anxious and had trouble sleeping and eating.

This was her negligence. Either find a reason to let Lin Han enter the palace, or simply let the two of them stay in the fifth brother's villa. With Lin Han accompanying Zhi Lan, Zhi Lan would not become so haggard because of Lin Yufen. .

"I'm sorry, Sister Yun. I know I shouldn't have disturbed you just after you returned to the palace. It's just that I...I'm worried about my mother-in-law..." Zhilan whispered.

A pair of almond eyes were filled with tears, the eyelashes were trembling slightly, and the jade-like teeth were biting the whitened cherry lips. The helpless and sad look made Lin Han feel heartbroken. However, due to Qingyun's presence, he could only try his best. Suppressing the urge to step forward to comfort Zhi Lan, she clenched her left hand into a fist and her pupils darkened.

Qingyun's heart ached when she saw Zhilan like this.

Zhilan is so innocent and kind, and has the noble status of a royal princess. She should have lived a carefree and happy life, but because of having such a mother, she has been very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She is so well-behaved and sensible that it makes people feel distressed. She is not as good as other little princesses at all. Just as lively and forthright.

Holding Zhi Lan's cold and trembling hand tightly, Qingyun sighed: "Lin Yufen's crime cannot be forgiven, I will personally send her on the road tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" Zhi Lan's face instantly turned white, she stared at Qing Yun with her eyes wide open, her held back tears falling silently.

"It's time to settle some things." Qingyun nodded slightly.

Lowering her eyes slightly, there was sadness and desolation in her brows that could not be concealed. Zhilan's low and hoarse voice revealed hesitation and confusion: "I know that my mother and concubine are evil, but I...I..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." As if she guessed what Zhilan was going to say, Qingyun interrupted her softly.

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Qingyun. Zhilan's mist-shrouded eyes were shining with crystal light, and her lips moved slightly: "I'm sorry, Sister Yun, it was me who made things difficult for you. I..." choked with sobs.

"My silly sister." Taking out the brocade handkerchief and gently wiping the tears on Zhilan's face, Qingyun pretended to be angry and said: "Lin Yufeng is Lin Yufeng, you are you, and what she does has nothing to do with you. , not to mention that you and I are better than sisters. As long as you live a happy life, let alone this one request, I will agree to it even if it is ten or a hundred, or do you think I will break my promise?"

"I know that Sister Yun has loved me very much since she was a child, but the hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable, and my mother-in-law has committed a serious crime of treason, but I beg Sister Yun... I know that I am forcing someone to make things difficult for me. .... Sister Yun, don't worry, I won't let my mother and concubine do evil again." Zhi Lan threw herself into Qing Yun's warm arms, tears streaming down her face, and she promised with all her heart.

Holding Zhi Lan's body as light as a Hong Yu, Qing Yun was full of sympathy and patted her back gently: "Of course I believe Zhi Lan, but what are your plans in the future?"

Zhi Lan looks weak, but in fact she is tough and stubborn. After this incident, she will definitely not want to stay in the palace and get hurt.

Lifting herself up from Qingyun's arms, Zhilan held up her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face. She lowered her head slightly and said with determination in her choked voice: "I will leave after the funeral of the late emperor and the enthronement ceremony of Sister Yun." When I go to Qingping Temple in the capital, I often accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, burn incense and pray day and night, hoping that Sister Yun will be happy, long and healthy, and that the country will be peaceful and the people are safe!"

"You want to go to Qingping Temple?" Qingyun frowned after hearing this.

Qingping Nunnery is located on a high mountain in Shushan County. Her father and she visited Shushan County privately in secret.

That place is thousands of miles away from the capital, extremely remote and desolate. Except for the nunnery, there is almost no human habitation for hundreds of miles around. The nunnery on the mountain is dilapidated due to disrepair. There is only an abbot in the nunnery who is nearly seventy years old and seven or eight A master, while eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, he planted vegetables and fruits. Occasionally he would go down to the city to exchange vegetables and fruits for necessary daily necessities, and he lived a very poor life.

Although she had asked the governor of Shushan County to repair and consolidate Qingping Temple after coming down from the mountain, the climate on the mountain was cold and Zhi Lan was very weak. How could she bear such hardship?

"I don't object to you eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, but I don't agree with you going to Qingping Nunnery. If you don't want to go to Cining Nunnery, there are so many royal villas. You can choose a place that suits your needs and I will immediately order someone to decorate it."

Looking up at Qingyun, Zhilan opened her mouth and said nothing. Qingyun continued: "As long as you are pious, you can eat food and chant Buddha anywhere. Besides, Qingping Temple is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the conditions are very difficult. How can I Where can I rest assured that you are going? And it is extremely difficult for me to visit you. Do you have the heart to never see me as your sister again?"

"I didn't miss Sister Yun, I just, just..." Zhi Lan was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

"It's okay if you don't see my sister." Holding Zhilan's hand, Qingyun's gentle voice contained no hesitation: "Okay, I will immediately arrange for people to decorate Hongfeng Villa, which is only a hundred miles away from the capital. The environment is quiet and elegant, which is very suitable for your practice, and also convenient for me to visit you often. After the funeral of my father and the enthronement ceremony, I will personally send you there."

Understanding that Sister Yun's move was entirely out of love for her, Zhilan was moved and guilty. She nodded and said, "I'll just listen to Sister Yun's arrangements."

"That's very good." Qingyun then felt relieved, turned to look at Lin Han and said warmly: "Chief Lin, you have done a great job in killing your relatives this time. I will promote you to the deputy commander of the Purple Guard and give you a mansion. , tomorrow afternoon Xiao Xiazi will take my decree, along with your official uniform and official seal, to your new residence to announce the decree. From now on, you can work for the court with peace of mind. In addition, I allow you to go to the execution ground tomorrow to see off Lin Bingquan and the Lin family. Man’s last journey.”

Lin Han knelt down and said sincerely: "The guilty minister begs the Ninth Princess to take back his life!"

"What does Deputy Commander Lin mean by this?" Qingyun's face froze slightly after hearing this, and Zhilan also looked at Lin Han in surprise.

"The guilty minister has no intention of pursuing an official career, so he was frightened by the favor of the Ninth Princess to be promoted as the envoy of the Purple Guard." Lin Han said respectfully: "This time the Lin family conspired against the Zhu clan, and the guilty minister is within the nine clans of the Lin family, so he should be beheaded for justice. Princess Meng Jiu showed mercy and was not punished. The guilty minister was already grateful. Now that the ninth princess has been promoted to the official rank of the guilty minister, the guilty minister was really unworthy of his kindness to the ninth princess and was not qualified for the position of deputy commander, so he asked the ninth princess to take it back. If the order is fulfilled, I also sincerely request the Ninth Princess to remove the guilty minister from his post as an envoy and demote him to a commoner!"

Raising her eyebrows, Qingyun looked at Lin Han and said: "I understand your mood, but I always have clear rewards and punishments. Although you are a member of the Lin family, you did not participate in the Lin family's rebellion, and you have contributed to the report of Lin Bingquan. Jiangshan Sheji, I have promoted you to the position of deputy commander to make you public and responsible, so there is no need for you to feel uneasy."

"Wei Chen has made up his mind. I beg the Ninth Princess to take back my life!" Lin Han's attitude was extremely resolute.

Looking at Lin Han quietly, Qingyun's beautiful face was as quiet as a pool of water, and her dark eyes were as deep as ink, which seemed to contain too much insight and understanding.

"I'm very confused as to why you insist on shirking all your duties?" Seeing Lin Han open his mouth to say something, Qingyun said with a smile but not a smile: "Don't tell me that you are worried or incompetent, I want to listen to the truth."

Glancing at Zhi Lan, who was also looking at him with confusion, Lin Han took a deep breath and said like a strong man sternly: "Ninth Princess Shengming, what Wei Chen just said is indeed not the reason. The real reason is that Wei Chen wants to protect Yongle. I will stay with the princess until death! I beg the Ninth Princess to fulfill my wish!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

"Do you want to stay by Zhilan's side?"

"yes!"

"Zhi Lan is the royal princess and my most beloved sister. You are just a foreign minister. In what capacity do you protect her?"

"Weichen..." Looking at Zhilan, Lin Han said with difficulty: "Weichen is willing to protect Princess Yongle as a bodyguard!"

Qingyun was immediately happy, but his face remained calm: "The guards in the palace are all highly skilled in martial arts and loyal. Why do you think I abandon the guards in the palace and allow you to protect Zhi Lan?"

Lin Han was startled and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was filled with determination and inexplicable emotion: "Princess Yongle lives, Wei Chen lives! Wei Chen dies, Princess Yongle lives!"

Qingyun stared straight at the impressive Lin Han, but saw that his handsome face was filled with calmness and perseverance, and there was no trace of dodge or guilt in his dark eyes. Qingyun was deeply relieved.

Zhi Lan is too sentimental and has such unbearable experiences. With Lin Han by her side, at least she will not let her think wildly.

What's more, she could see that Lin Han was sincere to Zhi Lan. If Zhi Lan accepted Lin Han, she would definitely live a happy life, so she felt relieved.
