Toad Palace Spring and Autumn

The carriage moved forward, driving all the way to the governor's mansion before stopping.Surrounded by the city guards and his party, Yue Yinlin stepped into the majestic mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, almost thinking that he had returned to the inner garden of the palace.

The blue light dances in the nine palaces, and the purple cloud grows on the Lingxu Pavilion.Those long years of high walls and closed palaces left an indelible mark on his heart.It was at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and not long after the eldest brother Jing Xiao ascended the throne, the Queen Mother's mother party conspired to instigate rebellion. He and his second brother Jing Qian were jealous of the royal family because of the royal power struggle, so they had to change their minds and prove themselves.In order to show his loyalty, Jing Qian volunteered to stay on the frontier to drive out the captives, and named Wang Gan of the Northern Court as the Great Xia Protector.However, he had no intention of power, and he joined the National Teacher's school since he was a child, studied at the Chinese Character Institute, and was obsessed with martial arts all day long. Therefore, he was fascinated by the martial arts forces cultivated by the National Teacher in the Central Plains, and decided to go to the Central Plains. He is a pioneer in frontiers and lands, and he is a holy will, but his intention is in the rivers and lakes.Looking back now, it was only a year or two later, but the past events of the royal family were as far away as a flashy dream, with only faint afterimages left.

The meeting hall of the mansion is facing an arched door with hanging flowers. When the wind blows under the eaves, strings of flower bells sway gently, and a faint fragrance floats in the air.Yue Yinlin is originally a fairy-like figure, and with the practice and recovery some time ago, his eye injury has improved, and his vision is basically the same as that of ordinary people, but he cannot use his eyes for a long time.At this moment, he has changed into a brand-new baht coat with a slanted front and right lapel, which looks indescribably good-looking on him.Everyone present couldn't help turning their heads to look a few more times, so they also noticed the tall and silent young man behind him.Several courtiers whispered together, whispering from time to time, obviously very curious about the purpose of their trip.

At this moment, a general dressed in brocade with flowers and feathers hurried in, bowed to Yue Yinlin who was seated above, and said in his mouth: "The deputy envoy of the general, Ye Lichang, pays homage to His Royal Highness Jing Huan."

Hearing this, Yue Yinlin sneered slightly and said, "Why are you? Doctor He."

"Returning to Your Highness, the general has been sick and lying on the couch for the past few days, and the lord of the medicine department is still guarding the general's mansion, so he can't leave for a while." Ye Lichang lowered his head when he spoke, as if he didn't dare to look up at him, "The general learned that His Highness was very pleasantly surprised when he returned to the imperial court, and specially taught the General to come here, saying that His Highness must be invited to the residence for a briefing."

"His movements are fast." Yue Yinlin heard something in Ye Licheng's words, and his face turned colder. "It seems that if I don't go to the General's Mansion with you today, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Dr. He."

Ye Lichang said in fear and trepidation: "Your Highness must not misunderstand, the General is indeed sick in bed..."

"No need to explain." Yue Yinlin paused, then lowered his voice slightly, "You come too."

——It was to Baili Yunxiao.

Baili Yunxiao nodded, but did not make a sound.

Seeing that the two of them seemed weird, Ye Licheng was puzzled, but on the surface he still greeted each other with courtesy and respect.

After the three of them left, everyone in the hall talked about it.

"It has long been heard that the relationship between His Highness the Third Highness and the General is not on good terms. It seems that the rumors are true."

"You said, this time His Royal Highness returned to court, did you inform His Majesty?"

"I don't think so. According to the city guard, His Highness the Third Highness was hunted down all the way to this point. It's obviously not in keeping with court etiquette to have such diplomatic relations."

"I've heard that His Highness the Third Highness stayed incognito in the Central Plains, and lived a reckless life of killing and killing, and had no intention of political affairs at all."

"Then he came back this time, could it be for...the Queen Mother?"

As soon as this remark came out, several courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and their expressions changed drastically, "People have already left, so what to do with those who say these things. That's it for today, let's all go away."

The General's Mansion was built next to the mountain, covering a very large area.The owner has kept a pool of clear water in the mansion, and in the pool there are water turtles, sea coral fish and many unnamed mountain and water pets.Due to the depth and turbidity of the water, the surface of the pool presents a very dark dark green all the year round.Yue Yinlin has never liked this pool very much. The surface is calm and calm, but in fact it is dark and turbulent—like the owner of this place, it feels gloomy and elusive.However, the master's daily residence is next to the pool, and to see him he must pass through the pool.

When he arrived at the inner hall, Ye Lichang hurried in to pass on the pass.After a while, the door made a hoarse sound, and a man in fresh clothes with bare feet came out.Ye Licheng was beside him supporting him, moving cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would fall.This person has slender eyebrows, sharp and cold facial lines, and he is undoubtedly the general Li Changge.

Yue Yinlin and Li Changge haven't met each other for a long time, so his sick and weak appearance is really unexpected.I thought that Ye Lichang's saying that he was sick must be an excuse, but now it seems that there is no lie.

Li Changge's gaze flicked past Yue Yinlin and landed on Baili Yunxiao, his vain footsteps stopped abruptly, and he stared at him with dark eyes.

"Who is this……"

Yue Yinlin frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "Why, General Li doesn't recognize me, but recognizes my subordinates instead?"

"Third Highness, you were joking. I think you were a hero when you were young, and no one in the whole country can match you. If anyone has met once, I am afraid it will be difficult to forget."

Although what Li Changge said was a scene, but because his eyes were extremely serious, it didn't sound so harsh.

Yue Yinlin didn't bother to argue with him, and said bluntly: "If there is nothing else, please General Li, please come out and see Dr. He."

At first hearing this, Li Changge was a little unresponsive, but soon his face returned to normal, and he said with a slightly cold smile: "The third highness is so anxious to see Dr. He, could it be that he is suffering from some intractable disease? Why don't you tell me and see Li Can someone help."

"I appreciate General Li's kindness. I don't know where Mrs. He is?"

The meaning of Yue Yinlin's words was very clear, but Li Changge didn't like him like this.There is always room for relaxation in ambiguity, and relentless rejection will make people feel embarrassed.

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence. Someone came from the palace just now, saying that the Empress Dowager is slightly ill. Dr. He has just entered the palace by order. I thought you would meet on the way."

"The queen mother?"

Yue Yinlin looked suspicious.Although he has been in the government and the opposition for several years, he is not ignorant of everything in the palace.Less than two years after the eldest brother came to the throne, the rebels headed by the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Wei launched a rebellion. After the conspiracy was revealed, the whole family was affected.This is a pity for the royal family, but it is also an undeniable fact.

"Your Highness probably doesn't know yet. After the death of the Empress Dowager Wei, the sage was benevolent and filial, respecting Zhao Zang as the Empress Dowager, as if she was serving her personally, which shows that the laws of heaven and morals are normal, and the emperor's grace is mighty..."

Having said that, Li Changge couldn't help clenching his fists and coughing.Ye Lizhen stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, then took over the words and said, "The general heard that the Empress Dowager Zhaozang was very concerned about His Highness the Third Highness, and she became ill because of her worries. Didn't Your Highness want to find her?" Doctor He, why don't you stop by the palace to see her old man?"

Baili Yunxiao observed the words and expressions, and secretly speculated that the Empress Dowager Zhaozang had a close relationship with Yue Yinlin, and she might be her biological mother.Looking at Yue Yinlin's complexion, he was not as calm as before, and the suspicion in his heart became more firm by seven or eight points.But this general has no good intentions at first glance, his proposal must be fraudulent, and the matter of entering the palace may not be that simple.Thinking of this, he couldn't help whispering to Yue Yinlin: "The antidote needs to be discussed in a long-term manner, and there is no need to rush for a while."

Before the surprised expression on Yue Yinlin's face could be concealed, Baili Yunxiao leaned closer and said, "Isn't it just a black-tailed fungus, at worst, I'll go to the palace and steal it, so there's no need for you to risk yourself." He said Said so calmly, Yue Yinlin's heart trembled slightly, but of course nothing could be seen on his face.

Li Changge took this opportunity to look at Baili Yunxiao one more time, thoughtfully.

What Baili Yunxiao didn't expect was that Yue Yinlin suddenly opened his mouth and agreed: "General Li is sick and should rest. There is no one else here, so I have to trouble Lieutenant Ye Li to work harder and accompany me to the Let's go to the palace."

"Being able to serve His Highness is something that the general will never wish for."

Just when Baili Yunxiao was about to follow, Li Changge stared at his back, and said coldly: "Young hero, please stay, the forbidden area of ​​the palace is for everyone."

Yue Yinlin seemed to have scruples in his heart, so he said to Baili Yunxiao lightly: "You wait here, I will be back soon."

While speaking, the sky has darkened unknowingly.Clouds covered the sun, and Baili Yunxiao watched him and Ye Licheng walk away slowly, their figures disappeared under the shade of the red wall and greenery, their heartbeat suddenly sank, as if they had been hit hard, they stood stiff and unable to move .

"you……"

"Baili Yunxiao, although you no longer recognize me, I never dare to forget you for a moment."

Li Changge's voice came from behind, with an extremely arrogant tone.

Baili Yunxiao came to his senses at this moment, and the anxiety in his heart subsided a lot, "Are you Li Changge?"

"What if it is, what if it isn't?"

"Unexpectedly, you didn't stay in Qilan Mountain, but you became a general here."

"There are so many things you didn't expect, do you want me to tell you one by one?"

These words came out of Li Changge's mouth with a lot of meaning.Baili Yunxiao was taken aback for a moment, but when he realized it, his heart began to throb violently, "What do you want to do to Yue Yinlin?"

"Oh? Yue Yinlin? It turns out that this is Jing Huan's alias in the Central Plains." Li Changge's eyes flashed with a vicious gleam, "Fatality tricks people, God will send the two people I love and hate the most in my life to Beside me...cough cough."

Baili Yunxiao said coldly: "Li Changge, your acupuncture technique has improved a lot. But you should understand that this won't trouble me for long."

"It's enough, it's enough." Li Changge suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, with a hint of madness, "I've waited for so long... now as long as half a stick of incense is passed, half a stick of incense... I will send Jing Huan to hell with my own hands... ..."

"If you really do this, I will kill you to avenge him."

"Hmph. Revenge? I'd like to see, how do you avenge him?!" Li Changge became furious, his pale cheeks flushed sickly, "Wait, I'll kill him right away. go!"

"Li Changge! Come back!"

Baili Yunxiao tried to stop it, but it was obviously too late.As soon as Li Changge's words fell, the person had jumped over the high wall and disappeared in an instant.
