Chapter 2: The past is like smoke

Phoenix Villa, Phoenix Pavilion, secret room in the main building

Nalanjin sat quietly in a room. There were walls everywhere and no windows, but it was not dark here, but very bright.

Because this place has a roof made of luminous stone, Nalan Jin was bored and half-lying on the imperial concubine's soft couch in front of a sandalwood coffee table, drinking tea leisurely.

In front of her was placed an exquisite bright yellow narrow box. It was clearly engraved with the auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix. The carving was exquisite, the materials used were exquisite, and it was extremely luxurious and eye-popping.

"Sect Master." The stone door on the wall was slowly pushed open, and a person walked in.

"Sit." Nalan Jin poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. Chu Tianyou took it with both hands and sat down on the other end of the soft couch.

"Sect Master, please come to me with any instructions." Chu Tianyou noticed the exquisite box on the coffee table. It was a pattern that could only be used by the royal family.

"Look at this." Nalanjin pushed the box over.

Chu Tianyou glanced at her suspiciously, her expression was indifferent and nothing could be seen.

Chu Tianyou slowly opened it full of doubts, with a hint of shock in his eyes, because what he saw was an imperial edict.

Chu Tianyou unfolded it carefully, and when the words written in red pen jumped into his eyes one by one, he was even more surprised.

In the end, the surprise completely turned into shock, and the shock was completely reflected in his facial expression.

"Sect Master, you?!" Chu Tianyou couldn't help himself from being shocked anymore, because those contents were too shocking.

His eyes revealed everything. However, he did not dare to say any more because the content was too terrifying. Once it was revealed to the world, it would shake the earth.

He never imagined that the beautiful woman in front of him would have such an identity that would turn the world into disgrace.

On the imperial edict, Zhubi personally approved it and stamped it with the words "Jade Seal of Chuanguo", which clearly read -

In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the imperial edict reads: The emperor's eldest daughter, Nalan Fengjin, has been granted by heaven to inherit the heaven and earth. She has followed the oracle of the Phoenix Goddess and been established as the crown prince. She has been canonized as the eldest princess of Phoenix. She has been named the regent of Zhongzhou.

When the destiny comes to you, I allow you to continue the great rule, ascend the throne as emperor, and rule the world. I admire you here!

There are three seals in the brocade box, one is the seal of the crown prince, one is the seal of the eldest princess, and one is the seal of the regent of Zhongzhou.

Chu Tianyou stared at her with wide eyes. He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a word. He felt like he was in a dream at this moment. What did he see just now?

There are still many things about his master that are unknown to the public, and there are still many legends that can change the color of the situation.

"As you can see." Nalan Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled slowly. There was not much expression on his face. He put his hands behind his head and leaned gently on the soft pillow: "This seems to everyone

What I dream of, but for me, it is nothing more than thousands of shackles, locking the freedom and joy of my life. You know, what I want most is one person, one sword, one horse, one river and lake. Come and go easily. But this is me

My responsibility is also my destiny. It is an identity that I was born with and cannot choose. And I have no choice. God bless me, the reason why I want to build Phoenix Villa in the imperial capital is to let my influence slowly penetrate.

Go to that high wall. Now, everything there is under my control. The people there are quietly waiting for my orders, and I need to wait for the opportunity. God willing, are you willing to accompany me, not far in the future?

One day, let’s go back to the Zhaoyang Hall together.” Nalan Jin looked into Chu Tianyou’s eyes with an unprecedented seriousness.

Chu Tianyou understood Nalan Jin's meaning and Nalan Jin's thoughts. He immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee, bowing his head and bowing: "I swear to be loyal to the sect master to the death and never regret it."

"Very good, I did not misjudge you." Nalan Jin smiled slightly, stunningly beautiful.

But that smile made Chu Tianyou's scalp numb. Could it be that one day, this day would also change?

"Sect Master." The voice of a secret guard came from the messaging port on the stone wall.

"What's the matter?" Chu Tianyou stood up and opened the small window through which only half of the other party's face could be seen.

"Lord, Madam Yan Xi has just sent news. Xuanming Mansion has posted a list to recruit famous doctors from all over the world, and the consultation fee is one hundred thousand taels of gold. Madam Yan Xi has already heard the exact news. The second young master, Nalan Han, is here.

A serious illness is actually poisoning." The secret guard handed over a note and immediately turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Chu Tianyou handed the note to Nalan Jin.

Nalan Jin put it on the coffee table without looking at it, "Xuanming Mansion is the imperial palace. It seems to be no different from other wealthy mansions. In fact, there are 810 guards inside, not to mention the secret guards.

The number is no less stringent than the palace. If Nalan Hanyi could be poisoned, there is only one possibility, that is, there is a traitor in Xuanming Mansion, and the only person who can send the traitor into Xuanming Mansion is the imperial concubine Du Yuxin. Look,

She can't wait any longer and is going to attack Xuanming Mansion. She ordered someone to hand over my greeting card. God willing, I will take you to meet an old friend." After saying this, Nalan Jin looked at it.

Chu Tianyou glanced at her and caught a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Why is the imperial concubine so afraid of Xuan Ming Mansion?" Chu Tianyou was a little confused.

You must know that this imperial concubine now has all the power in the government. I don’t know that there is an emperor in the Tianque Dynasty now, but I only know that there is an imperial concubine.

Chu Tianyou was actually quite curious as to how this imperial concubine did it. Zhengtong was forced to leave the world, but this concubine who was supposed to keep her peace in the harem actually went to the front to point her sword at the world.

"Sure enough, he is as smart as God." Nalan Jin picked up the small pot and gave Chu Tianyou some tea, and said slowly: "The most valued son when the emperor's grandfather was in power was the emperor's uncle Nalan Mingguang.

Children are best friends when they are young. If it were not for the rules of the Tianque Dynasty, they would have become emperors together. The day after his father was established as the crown prince, his uncle was named Prince Xuanming. He is also the first among the princes.

After his father ascended the throne, he handed over the command of Tianque's 200,000 troops and horses to his uncle. The two brothers complemented each other to guard the country. Although Du Yuxin was favored by his father, he was extremely afraid of the emperor.

Uncle, not only because he had a lot of troops, but also because she was not favored by him. When his father appointed Du as his concubine, he strongly opposed it. He once described Du as a thousand foxes and not easy to get married.

However, the emperor's father refused to listen and insisted on establishing a concubine. Later, the emperor's uncle said that Du would be his father's only failure in his life. If Du wanted to legitimately become the ruler, the emperor's uncle was her first stumbling block.

Sometimes I wonder, if it was not my father who was chosen by God, but the emperor's uncle, would I be able to live happily in the world now?" After Nalan Jin finished speaking, he sighed deeply, lowered his head and concentrated on drinking.

Tea, no words.

Chu Tianyou was left alone with his thoughts racing.

In the afternoon, Nalan Jin's gold-decorated carriage drove slowly and slowly into Zhuque Street. It paused slightly as it passed by the official list, which was crowded with people talking about it.

Nalan Jin only took one look and asked him to move on. After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped in front of the main entrance of Xuanming Mansion. There were guards with swords guarding the door. There were people who looked like doctors coming in and out of the side door.

Nalan Jin took a look and saw that the golden plaque of Xuanming Mansion was still shining brightly. Time had not left the slightest trace on it. The past was like smoke. How long had it been since she had been back here?

She left when she was eight years old and wandered alone in the world for fifteen years. The years mercilessly carved too much sadness and desolation in her heart. Her smile will never be as spotless as this golden plaque.

"I have seen Miss Nalan." A voice interrupted Nalan Jin's thoughts. A middle-aged man dressed as a butler had walked out of the opened red lacquer door at some point, and bowed respectfully with his hands raised.

.

"Uncle Li, long time no see. Is everything okay?" Nalan Jin looked at the man in front of him and said with a warm smile.

"I don't dare, please." The manager, Li Yi, bowed his head and said respectfully.

The gate was already wide open, and Nalan Jin's carriage slowly drove in. Nalan Jin lowered the gauze curtain and glanced at Chu Tianyou, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Chu Tianyou's heart sank, and the carriage drove all the way into the inner courtyard before stopping.

Nalan Jin held Chu Tianyou's hand and got out of the car. As soon as she stood firm, she saw a handsome young man coming hurriedly. The hand she just stretched out was held tightly by the man. Nalan Hanqi held her hand.

I was so excited that I was speechless.

She had been away for fifteen years. She was only eight years old that year, but she was deeply in love with Shen Ke. In just a few days, she was tortured to the point of being transformed into a human being. The hospital recruited famous doctors from all over the world, but they all treated her badly.

The disease is helpless.

Later, an old man with a white beard came and took her out of the imperial city with a try. That day, it was snowing all over the sky, and her carriage drove out of the imperial capital alone. He took the young Nalan Han with him.

The next day, he chased her carriage, but he couldn't run anymore and fell in the snow. At that time, he didn't know what death was. He only knew that he would never see her again, which made him very sad.

It wasn't until he became an adult that he seemed to understand, but was still unwilling to accept the fact that she was no longer there. But what he never expected was that fifteen years later, when everyone thought she had passed away, she

Actually came back.

And standing so perfectly in front of him, Nalan Hanqi stared at her intently, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the face in front of him did not match the previous outline?

"You..." Nalan Hanqi just raised his hand. Nalan Jin glanced at Li Yi standing next to him with his peripheral vision, took Nalan Hanqi's raised hand and put it on his own.

A bright smile appeared on his cheek: "Brother Qi, do you miss me so much? I have grown up now."

Nalan Hanqi was startled by her sudden move, and then found that she held his hand and touched it lightly behind her ear. There was a slight protrusion there - the Golden Needle Disguise Technique! Nalan Hanqi

Lan Hanqi was proficient in medical skills and extremely smart. He immediately understood what she meant. She smiled slowly: "It's great that you are back."

"You're okay?!" Nalan Jin let him go and smiled.

"Everything is fine." Nalan Hanqi's eyes fluctuated and seemed to be filled with tears.

"You are so gentle and elegant." Nalan Jin said in a sly tone.

It's obviously a joke. She thinks Nalan Hanqi is particularly beautiful. Wait, isn't the word "beautiful" used to describe women? However, he is really beautiful!!

"Haha!" Nalan Hanqi laughed involuntarily when she heard this joke. In her childhood memories, she was the naughtiest. She remembered that one time her younger brother Nalan Hanyi ran away wearing a dark green brocade robe.

She went to the roof to reach for the fruit on the almond tree. The maid saw it and pointed it out to her.

She said without even raising her head: "A turtle, what's there to see?" Nalan Han turned around and shouted at her after hearing this, but he lost his balance and fell down, and the whole Xuanming Mansion was in a panic.

, people flipped over on their backs.

But she, the instigator, actually calmly said "Stupid turtle" and went back to the room to sleep.

More than ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and everything is different now, but as long as she comes back, it will be fine. Nalan Hanqi motioned to Li Yi not to follow him anymore, and then took her to the backyard. "Let's go to the peony garden.

, where will it be next?" Nalan Hanqi restrained her excitement and led her towards the inner courtyard.

After a few twists and turns, the three of them entered the inner courtyard of Xuanming Mansion. In the courtyard, a person was leaning under the pavilion, tasting wine and reading a book. His expression was leisurely and comfortable, and he seemed to be in a good mood. When Nalan Jin and others arrived, they only saw

The figure from his back, I knew in my heart, was Nalan Hanyi.

Hearing the footsteps, Nalan Hanyi put down the book in his hand, turned his head and looked at Nalan Jin. At the same time, Nalan Jin also looked at Nalan Hanyi.

The breeze blew by, and the garden was filled with peonies that year.??
