"I must have seen him!" Luo Lianyi hugged Sable and said to himself, with a smile on his face. "Sable, as long as he knows that I am safe, it will be fine. In the future, you will accompany me and cannot run back to bring him.
"Luo Lianyi held up the sable's head and said to it, regardless of whether it understood or not.
With Sable, she read a book for a while and then lay down peacefully. She felt like she was being remembered, which made her no longer feel lonely in this isolated place.
"If we can't be together in this life, just watching and missing her from afar is not a kind of happiness." With sweet thoughts, she fell asleep after a while.
Sanqing Temple. In the early morning, the snow stopped, and the emperor's vanguard guards arrived at the Taoist temple to report that the emperor would arrive at the Taoist temple immediately. The young disciples in the temple hurriedly cleared the snow along the road, waiting for the emperor's arrival. Liu Fan, Xiaozhu and others also cleaned up early.
When it's all right, go to the foot of Biya Peak to meet the holy driver.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
"The Emperor has arrived——"
Following the announcements from the eunuchs, a large number of people and horses were already coming up the mountain road. Emperor Liu Hongjing was sitting in a sedan chair, opening the curtain and leaning forward to visit, as if he couldn't wait to see them.
"See you, Father." Halfway up the mountain, Liu Fan knelt on the ground to greet him. Xiaozhu and Wuyou also knelt down and bowed their heads in worship.
Liu Hongjing got off the sedan, looked at Liu Fan sharply, and then looked at the women behind him. He couldn't help but look a little disappointed when he saw that none of them had cinnabar between their eyebrows.
"Wait for me here." He turned around and told the forest manager beside him. Ever since the imperial concubine's ashes were placed here, Sanqing Temple has never allowed anyone else to enter. This is the rule.
"According to the decree."
"Let's go up the mountain." Liu Hongjing strode ahead. Liu Fan quickly stood up and followed. Xiaozhu and the others followed closely behind Liu Fan and followed the emperor up the mountain.
Entering the Taoist temple, Liu Fan invited his father to take a seat and personally made tea for his father.
"Fan'er, where is your master?" Liu Hongjing asked.
"Master has wandered away, and we never know his whereabouts." Liu Fan replied.
"Well, I feel so comfortable." Liu Hong nodded.
"Father, why did you come to the Taoist temple suddenly? Isn't the death anniversary of my mother and concubine still some time away?" Liu Fan pretended to be confused.
Liu Hongjing looked at him with bright eyes, and Liu Fan bravely faced his father's gaze. Although his father was getting older, his majesty was still the same as before.
"Princess Dongling, is she born with a little cinnabar between her eyebrows?" Liu Hongjing asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Liu Fan didn't dare to lie, after all, there were too many palace maids and eunuchs who had seen Lianyi.
Liu Hongjing's expression suddenly changed, and his body started to tremble a little.
"Father!" Liu Fan saw that his father's face was not good and he hurriedly reached out to help him.
"Where is the princess?" Liu Hongjing grabbed Liu Fan's hands and asked tremblingly.
"He died of illness when he entered the capital." Liu Fan looked at his father's expression, and suddenly he couldn't bear it. His father had missed his mother for so many years, and he could best understand the pain during that period. Now that he was about to shatter his dream, how could he not be cruel?
?
Liu Hongjing stared at Liu Fan's pupils and asked, "Seriously?"
"How dare I lie to my father?" Liu Fan knelt down and did not dare to look at him.
"Fan'er! Father doesn't believe it! Father doesn't believe it!" Liu Hongjing pushed Liu Fan hard and shouted.
Liu Fan crawled on the ground and gritted his teeth and said: "If I dare to deceive my father, I will be punished by heaven and earth, and my body will be destroyed without a whole body!" He used himself as a curse, thinking that as long as it was for ripples, it would not matter if he was destroyed by heaven and earth and his body would be broken into pieces.
!
Xiaozhu ran in and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince did not deceive the Emperor. The princess died of illness that day, and the body has been inspected by the Grand Tutor himself. How could it still be in the Sanqing Pass!"
Liu Hongjing swung his kick and kicked Xiaozhu out of the hall, shouting: "Get out!"
Xiaozhu fell to the ground and spurted a mouthful of blood. Yun Shang hurriedly held her in her arms.
"Father! Who did you hear that the princess is still alive? I think there must be someone with evil intentions who deliberately drives a wedge between our father and son!" Liu Fan said.
"Tell me! Where is the princess buried? I want to conduct an autopsy myself!" Liu Hongjing's face was ashen, and his tone did not allow for any objection.
Liu Fan was startled and said: "Why should we bother the dead people anymore? Besides, the princess died that day, so we entrusted her body to the carriage driver and asked him to find a place to bury it as he pleased. Now the carriage driver also
I don’t know where he went, and I don’t know where he buried the princess’s body.”
"You - you saw the cinnabar between her eyebrows, why didn't you take good care of her?! Haven't you ever thought that she was the reincarnation of your mother-in-law?" Liu Hongjing sat on the chair, his face full of sorrow.
.
A strange feeling passed through Liu Fan's heart. He suddenly remembered that Luo Lianyi said that she came from another world, and he had a terrifying thought in his heart. Could it be that she was really the reincarnation of his mother? Then what should he do with his feelings for her?
?
"The theory of reincarnation is, after all, an illusory thought. Father, don't be too obsessed with it. Maybe my mother and concubine are still waiting for you to meet in heaven." Seeing his father's sadness, he comforted him with a warm look.
"No! I secretly feel that your mother-in-law has come to me. Even if I dig up the ground of Xiling three feet, I still want to find the bones of Princess Dongling and see her beauty!" Liu Hongjing stood up and strode forward.
Go outside.
"Father!"
"Don't follow me! I'm going to Chenxiang Pavilion, let me be alone!" Liu Hongjing flicked his sleeves and strode towards Chenxiang Pavilion. Liu Fan stood there, looking at his father's back uneasily.
"Your Highness." Xiaozhu walked to his side and hesitated to speak.
"Father wants to find the princess's body." Liu Fan said.
"The only way to get Scholar Mengmeng back is to say that the princess's body has been buried in the Xiyao River outside Xiling City.
." Xiaozhu whispered.
Liu Fan thought for a while, nodded slightly, then looked at Chenxiang Pavilion and sighed: "Poor father!"
"Your Highness, do you now understand why Xiaozhu prevented the princess from entering the palace and why he prevented you from being together? If the emperor saw the princess, he would never propose the princess to marry his highness, and the princess is in a drama.
Poison, the emperor will do anything for her, so this has played into Qi Yu's hands, and Xiling's future is unimaginable!" Xiaozhu said with tears in his eyes, and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Liu Fan turned his head, silently grasped her hand veins, and slowly injected an internal force into her body to heal her injuries.
After a moment, Xiao Zhu's expression softened slightly, Liu Fan let go of his hand, and Wuyou came over to support Xiao Zhu.
"Xiaozhu doesn't want to see His Highness and the Emperor and his son quarrel with each other, and it will never be restored. Your Highness, please promise Xiaozhu not to act out of emotion. We will take a long-term plan and believe that everything will be resolved in the end." Xiaozhu said, and was about to kneel down.
"I just listen to you." Liu Fan supported her, his face full of annoyance.
