Dreaming of Peach Blossoms

I've seen Xiao Shizi sleep soundly, why did his son wake up now?Seeing the pitiful appearance of Cheng Jue clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, and the carriage approaching again, Zhong Xiaozhi had no choice but to take him into the carriage together.

It's just that after a long time, the carriage didn't start.Zhong Xiaozhi felt a little surprised, and opened the door curtain to find that Hei Yu had replaced the coachman and was about to drive the carriage to set off.

"Brother Heiyu, why do you..."

Hei Yu turned around when he heard the words, with a doting smile on his face, "My lord knew that you and Xiao Shizi were going to the hospital, so he asked me to go with you, so as to protect Xiao Shizi."

Zhong Xiaozhi nodded, thinking that she was careless, how could she take Xiao Shizi out so recklessly.

He thanked Kuroba with a smile and then returned to the carriage.

Xiao Shizi sat obediently in the carriage, holding the little rabbit puppet with both hands, with a sweet smile on his face.

So what Lin Peiyan saw was Heiyu and Xiaozhi coming to the clinic together.

In Xiao Zhi's hands was holding Yu Xue's cute little prince.

Lin Peiyan couldn't help pressing the space between her eyebrows.

Hei Yu sat quietly in the cubicle, with a cup of tea in front of him, trying to minimize his presence.

Lin Peiyan finally found an opportunity to ask Mo Xinliang to sit in the clinic obediently, while he brought some melon and fruit snacks, and sat in the cubicle with Xiaozhi and the others to chat about things.

Cheng Jue was originally sitting obediently in Zhong Xiaozhi's arms, but now when he saw Lin Peiyan, he became dishonest.

He struggled with his short legs, insisted on walking to the ground, and staggered against Lin Peiyan.

"Yan Yan... Yan Yan!"

Cheng Jue looked up at his cute little face, with a sweet smile on his face, and called Lin Peiyan's name on his lips.

Seeing that he was cute, Lin Peiyan stretched out his hand to pick him up and put him on his lap, and then pinched the little rabbit puppet in his hand to tease him.

Zhong Xiaozhi laughed a little embarrassedly: "It seems that when the master came to treat the prince that day, the little prince remembered this title."

Lin Peiyan couldn't help but think of the embarrassing situation that day when he heard the words, and he just said hello lightly.

"Xiao Shizi is still like this, can't he speak quickly?"

Lin Peiyan frowned lightly and asked softly.

Zhong Xiaozhi also looked distressed, "Although it is better than before, it is still not as good as children of the same age."

Hearing this, Lin Peiyan reached out and touched Cheng Jue's forehead, "Just teach slowly."

Cheng Jue stretched out his short hands, and hugged Lin Peiyan's waist softly, with a cute look unwilling to let go.

Before he knew it, the sky became dark, and Xiaozhi forgot the time because he was so happy.Although Hei Yu had reminded her aloud, Xiao Zhi, who was happy chatting, never thought of this.

Lin Peiyan rubbed his head, "It's getting dark, you'd better go back earlier."

Zhong Xiaozhi picked up Cheng Jue, with a look of reluctance on his face: "Master, I'll go back then, I'll come back next time."

Hei Yu had already gone out to bring the carriage over.

Lin Peiyan also sent the two of them to the door, but he didn't want to see Cheng Mozhao leaning on the door frame.

The two caught off guard and looked at each other.

Lin Peiyan quickly turned his face away.

Cheng Mozhao smiled very gently, and took Cheng Jue, who was already sleepy, from Zhong Xiaozhi's arms.

"I'm just here to pick up Jue'er."

Lin Peiyan just hummed lightly.

Xiaozhi had already returned to the carriage first, while Cheng Mozhao was still standing in front of the clinic with Cheng Jue in his arms. Although he looked at the sleepy little son in his arms, what he said was to Lin Peiyan.

"The Lantern Festival is not as good as you and I taking Cheng Jue for a stroll."

Lin Peiyan was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect him to be so determined to this matter.When he came back to his senses, Cheng Mozhao had already started to walk towards the carriage.

Lin Peiyan frowned, feeling depressed in his heart, don't think about beheading this person first and playing later.

Lin Peiyan was really not in the mood to go to the Lantern Festival.

Because Xue Yueyin's memorial day is coming soon, and during those years at the bottom of the mountain, he could only worship the memorial tablet he set up for his mother.

After the Jiangnan King's rebellion, neither the Lin family nor the Gu family were spared, and because of Emperor Yun's anger, the Lin family was even bulldozed into the tomb... Lin Peiyan had been desperately thinking that Xue Yueyin's coffin no longer existed.

Until Ning Wanyu brought him good news.

It turned out that Ning Wanyu quietly ordered his confidants to go back to the south of the Yangtze River to find Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu, and then quietly stole Xue Yueyin's coffin. The coffin was buried and the monument was erected.

"Didn't I forget to tell you last time?"

Ning Wanyu pursed her lips, and looked at Lin Peiyan with a half-smile, "Isn't it, your birthday is coming soon, I just remembered, so I rushed over to tell you."

Lin Peiyan was full of gratitude to him, with a gentle smile on his face.

"You came here so late just to tell me this, Ning Xiaoyu, you have a heart."

Ning Wanyu looked up at the cold moonlight in the sky, and smiled like a spring breeze, "You and I are best friends, why bother to thank you. If you have to say something, I'm the one who bothered you."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned to look at Lin Peiyan again, and said in a slow voice, "Then let's set off on another day? I have to ask His Majesty for leave first..."

Lin Peiyan interrupted him in surprise: "Us?"

Suddenly he felt that he was a little stiff for asking, so he cleared his throat and asked, "Just tell me where Aunt Zhong and the others are, and I don't need to trouble you to come with me."

"Your affairs are naturally not troublesome. Besides, I will take leave for the past few years to go back to worship your mother. There is no reason not to go this year."

Lin Peiyan was slightly startled when he heard the words, and said after a while: "Ning Xiaoyu, thank you."

Ning Wanyu laughed, her starry eyes filled with a smile in the cold moonlight: "There is no need to say thanks between you and me. But this trip back to the south of the Yangtze River will take a long time, so you have to talk to Dr. Mo about it." Said. There is also Xiaozhi, do you want to take him with you?"

Lin Peiyan thought for a moment, shook his head, and sighed with lowered eyes: "Little Mo Na will naturally say it. If you take Xiao Zhi with him, Cheng Mo Zhao will definitely notice it, so it's better not to say it. As for the day - —”

"On the Lantern Festival, we set off before the curfew."

Ning Wanyu smiled and said hello.

When Mo Xinliang found out that Lin Peiyan was about to return to Jiangnan to pay homage to her birth mother, she looked sad and shouted that she would go too.Lin Peiyan pinched his baby face fiercely to restrain him.

Mo Xinliang rubbed her cheeks, pretending to be wronged and said, "There's Fu Xiaoshuang!"

"You want to exhaust Xiaoshuang to death? You have to ask Ling Xuehan if he agrees."

Mo Xinliang pursed her lips and hummed.

Lin Peiyan didn't tell Fu Shuang about going back to the south of the Yangtze River. It's not that he didn't trust Fu Shuang, it's just that the little rabbit is too soft-tempered, especially when facing his general.

It must be impossible to hide the secret, but to hide it.

Three days before the Lantern Festival, Cheng Mozhao brought Cheng Jue to the clinic again. On the surface, he said that Cheng Jue missed Lin Peiyan, but actually...

This time, he mentioned the Lantern Festival without any trace.

But this time, Lin Peiyan didn't refuse outright.

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his lips. If he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find that the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Okay, then I'll see you at the Bajiao Pavilion on Haishi West Street."

Seeing that he agreed, Cheng Mozhao was overjoyed, and immediately returned: "See you soon."

☆、No one attends the appointment

38

In the early morning of the Lantern Festival, Lin Peiyan had already packed his bags and put them in the closet in his room.

He had already arranged everything, and he just left the city quietly when it was evening.

Today, Fu Shuang arrived at the clinic early, looking carefully at his appearance, it seemed that he had specially changed into new clothes.

He also specially brought a food box containing some made by the general's mansion and came over early.There are Mo Xinliang's favorite soup dumplings and sweet tofu nao.

Mo Xinliang had just swallowed a warm steamed stuffed bun in one gulp, looked up and down with her kitten-like round eyes, and began to tease the little rabbit.

"Why is Xiaoshuang dressed so grandly today? You and General Ling are old married couples and you still play with this... Ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, he received a violent shudder from Lin Peiyan.

"Don't keep bullying Xiaoshuang." Lin Peiyan rumpled Mo Xinliang's hair while laughing.

Seeing this, Fu Shuang snickered, and after a while said softly: "Xuehan said that he would take me to visit the lanterns at night, so I wore new clothes, so I didn't play anything..."

Mo Xinliang held her chin innocently, with a blank expression on her face.

"When will Xiaoshuang go?"

"Xuehan said to pick me up at Wushi." Fu Shuang replied.

"Then it's not just me and Xiao Tong looking at the store..." Hearing a bang, Mo Xinliang smashed his head on the table, looking sluggish.

Lin Peiyan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "You can close the shop and go out for a stroll."

"What's so good about shopping alone? It's so annoying. Huh, just let me look at the store, as long as you have fun."

Mo Xinliang finally decided to turn grief and anger into appetite, and quickly eliminated the soup-filled steamed buns and tofu nao brought by Fu Shuang.

Fu Shuang couldn't help laughing at his voracious eating appearance, and after a while she looked at Lin Peiyan timidly and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiaoyan, are you going to go to the Lantern Festival with King Ning tonight?"

Lin Peiyan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked again: "What did Ling Xuehan tell you?"

Fu Shuang nodded slightly, and explained to his general in a low voice: "Yes, yes, King Ning mentioned it when he invited Xuehan to drink."

"When did they have such a good relationship?" Mo Xinliang couldn't help asking.

Fu Shuang frowned lightly, and said in a soft voice, "Occasionally King Ning would invite Xuehan to drink with him, and Big Brother Wei would also join..."

Seeing his nervous appearance, Lin Peiyan reached out and touched Fu Shuang's head, and said softly, "What's the big deal?"

"Brother Xiao Yan, can we watch the lanterns together later?" Fu Shuang pursed her lips and chuckled, then stretched out her hand to pull Lin Pei Yan's sleeve.

Lin Peiyan just smiled, but didn't answer right away, but hummed softly.

Although it was perfunctory to the little rabbit, the other party still took it seriously with a naive face, and always felt very guilty.

Sure enough, Ling Xuehan came to pick up Fu Shuang on time at five o'clock, and the two greeted Lin Mo and went to the Lantern Festival.It's just that Fu Shuang kept peeking at Lin Peiyan with his eyes, as if with inexplicable small expectations.

Although Lin Peiyan still smiled gently, she still felt a little helpless in her heart.

After Fu Shuang left, Lin Peiyan went back to her room seeing that it was almost time.

He changed into a woman's attire, loosened his bun and washed off his makeup.Her long hair was tied up with a suet hosta, her face was plain, and her round and bright lychee eyes were no longer covered by cumbersome eyeliner.

Lin Peiyan resumed her manly attire, her skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and that gorgeous face was too gorgeous even if it wasn't painted with makeup.Fortunately, those round eyes added a bit of tenderness.

When the time agreed with Ning Wanyu came, Lin Peiyan quietly went out with the package and got into the carriage in the dark.

He changed into dark men's clothes, and quietly got into the car at the back door without showing any trace.

The carriage was very spacious, Ning Wanyu was already sitting in the carriage, and the driver was his personal servant.

He also told Xiaozhi that although Xiaozhi wanted to go back with him, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to stay.

Lin Peiyan was sitting in the carriage, her eyes lowered as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing his frowning look, Ning Wanyu deliberately coughed lightly to attract his attention.

"It's better to be familiar with this outfit. I still can't get used to seeing you wearing women's clothes." Ning Wanyu said.

Lin Peiyan sneered slightly: "It is indeed more comfortable and convenient."

Ning Wanyu pressed his eyebrows: "Now that we are out of the city, we just need to hurry up and return to Jiangnan as soon as possible."

Lin Peiyan hummed softly.

He stretched out his hand to open the car window, leaned slightly sideways and looked outside.

He purposely made an appointment with Cheng Mozhao at Haishi, and the location was in the opposite direction from the gate of the city.

He hadn't planned to agree to Cheng Mo Zhao's invitation, but now he pretended to agree, but he just wanted him to wait in vain.

Cheng Mozhao hugged Cheng Jue early today and went out. Although it was still early for the agreed time, he attached great importance to it.

Since Cheng Jue was born, he really didn't spend time with this child, and he felt very guilty.

Now that he had found a chance, he casually strolled around with Cheng Jue in his arms.No matter what Cheng Jue liked, he asked Hei Yu to buy it.

But four-year-olds just love little things like candied haws, pinwheels, and sugar figures.

Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Cheng Mozhao took Cheng Jue with him to the octagonal gazebo on West Street that he had agreed with Lin Peiyan.Although it was really late at Haishi, since it was proposed by Xiao Yan, he was naturally happy.

Time passed bit by bit, but no one came to the appointment.

Cheng Jue was laughing and making noise at first, but then he started crying.Cheng Mozhao couldn't coax him well, and Hei Yu couldn't do anything about it, so Hei Yu had to bring Cheng Jue back to the palace first.And he himself chose to stay and wait for others.

He waited like this until the Lantern Festival was over, until those vendors had closed their stalls, and until the bustling street market became deserted little by little, he was still waiting.

Cheng Mozhao knew that Lin Peiyan would definitely not come, but he was still waiting.

He couldn't help but think of his ruthless decision to leave Lin Peiyan alone in the pavilion on that snowy day, and regretted it deeply, but there was no chance to change it.

Cheng Mozhao smiled wryly, knowing that Lin Peiyan might only hate him now, but he still wanted to entangle him so hard, but he was unwilling to let go.

He clearly knew that this was destined to end with no one coming to the appointment from the beginning.

But I also hope that there will be an accident for myself.

He finally left the octagonal pavilion, but he didn't go back to Prince Ning's mansion, but went all the way to the medical hall.

The door of the medical hall was closed, and under the cold moonlight, one could vaguely see the lonely figure standing in front of the door.

Cheng Mozhao thought to himself, maybe Lin Peiyan had already gone to bed early, if he still knocked on the door to disturb him at this hour, it would probably make Lin Peiyan even more disgusted.

He closed his eyes, but he still didn't leave, he just leaned against the door and passed the night like this.

Mo Xinliang woke up early in the morning, still looking sleepy.But today Lin Peiyan is not here, he has to get up early and go out to buy some and come back early.

Mo Xinliang yawned and just locked the door, turned around and looked back and saw Cheng Mozhao leaning against the door of the medical hall.

He subconsciously exclaimed: "Ning Wang, why are you here?"

Cheng Mozhao stayed up all night, and just closed his eyes for a while when he heard Mo Xinliang's voice, he opened his eyes with a swipe, his phoenix eyes slightly raised.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, Mo Xinliang felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Yesterday, the king waited for a long time, and Xiao Yan also came to the appointment in the future, so he wanted to come to the medical clinic." Cheng Mozhao stretched out his hand and nodded between his eyebrows, as if to relieve his headache: "But I'm afraid to wake you up, so I just Don't bother me anymore."

With an embarrassed smile on Mo Xinliang's face, he stammered and said, "So, King Ning, you just stayed here all night?"

Cheng Mozhao looked at him from top to bottom, frowned slightly, and hummed softly.

"Is Xiaoyan still sleeping? It's so early in the morning, where is Imperial Physician Mo planning to go?"

"Eh..." Mo Xinliang was stuck for a while, and then smiled awkwardly after a while: "I, I'll go buy some breakfast."

Although Cheng Mozhao didn't go to the medical clinic much, he could still see Lin Peiyan tinkering in the kitchen occasionally, and he usually cooks three meals a day in the medical clinic.How could it be that Doctor Mo himself went out to buy it today?unless……

"Xiaoyan, are you still in the hospital?"

Cheng Mozhao frowned, and suddenly looked directly into Mo Xinliang's eyes.

Mo Xinliang was flabbergasted by him, and he was still lying.

"Ah... he is still, still sleeping."

Mo Xinliang's look of dodging eyes fell into Cheng Mozhao's eyes, and he already had the answer.

Cheng Mozhao's eyes darkened, and he frowned as if thinking of something, "Is Xiao Yanniang's funeral coming soon?"

Obviously, he would never forget that Lin Peiyan brought a sake piccolo to pay homage to his mother on that snowy night.And all that was destroyed by myself.

Mo Xinliang bit her lips in confusion, thinking that he would find out anyway, so she might as well smash the can.

"Ah Yan went back to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the grave, and is not in the medical clinic now."

"But the king of Jiangnan rebelled that day, and the tomb of the Lin family has long since ceased to exist, unless someone stole Xiao Yanniang's coffin beforehand." Cheng Mozhao still looked directly at Mo Xinliang, but his eyes turned cold a little bit: " Otherwise, how could Xiao Yan aimlessly go back to the south of the Yangtze River to worship."

Mo Xinliang thought silently, wondering why King Ning suddenly became enlightened and able to think about so many small details.

He just wanted to go out and buy a basket of steamed buns to eat, why is he so unlucky, his stomach is almost starving, okay?

"Is it Ning Wanyu?"

"what?"

Cheng Mozhao asked a question suddenly, and Mo Xinliang only had time to let out a small exclamation.

Not to mention that Mo Xinliang's reaction had already given him the answer.

Cheng Mozhao would not be ignorant of the fact that Ning Wanyu asked the emperor two days ago to go back to his hometown to visit relatives.

Now that I think about it, he is the only one who is willing to steal Xue Yueyin's coffin for Lin Peiyan without anyone knowing it.

Lin Peiyan and Ning Wanyu went back to Jiangnan together.

Cheng Mozhao couldn't help clenching his right fist, gritted his teeth secretly, and left the hospital with his sleeves shaken.

He must hurry up and order someone to go down to find out the whereabouts of the two of them.

☆, small town

39

Although Ning Wanyu ordered his personal servants to hurry to the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but after all, the journey is long and bumpy, so stops and starts are unavoidable.

However, now that Lin Peiyan has resumed men's clothes, and no longer wears those complicated women's clothes, it is much more convenient to go in and out than before.

Lin Peiyan just ate some food in the inn to fill his stomach.

Although this is not a prosperous place, the food in the inn is not bad.

Ning Wanyu asked the waiter for another jug ​​of wine, but Lin Peiyan never liked to drink, so he drank it all by himself.

Seeing his greedy appearance, Lin Peiyan couldn't help frowning and said, "Ning Xiaoyu, please drink less. You have to go on your way tomorrow."

Ning Wanyu smiled when she heard the words: "It will take another day and one night to reach Aunt Zhong and the others. I just drink some wine and won't get drunk. A Yan, you underestimate my drinking capacity too much."

Seeing his reluctance, Lin Peiyan shook his head and sighed, "Okay, fine, then it's up to you. It's just that if you don't feel well in the carriage tomorrow, I won't care about you."

Hearing what he said, Ning Wanyu turned to look at him, and saw a pair of starry eyes filled with smiles: "How can a good doctor like Ah Yan ignore patients?"

Lin Peiyan just gave him a supercilious look and went upstairs to the house.

After all, you can only stay in the carriage when you are on the road, and you can only have a good rest in the soft mattress when you are in the warehouse.

After Lin Peiyan washed up, she fell asleep with her head on the pillow.

It only takes one day to see Aunt Zhong and Sister Qingzhu again.

It's just that his current appearance... really needs some explanation.

After Cheng Mozhao found out about Lin Peiyan's traces, he dressed lightly and took only Heiyu with him, and the two followed Lin Peiyan's footsteps together.

And the Wangfu also ordered the steward to take care of it, but after Cheng Mozhao knew that Lin Peiyan returned to the south of the Yangtze River with Ning Wanyu, he was finally a little anxious. If Hei Yu hadn't reminded him of these trivial matters, he would have been really close Forget it.

Although the two of them rushed over quickly, they were still several days away from Lin Peiyan and the others.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and the information found by the spies was finally passed on to Cheng Mozhao.Now he has known the whereabouts of General Ning Wanyu's two servants who originally served Lin Peiyan in the Jiangnan Palace.

As expected, Ning Wanyu chose a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, which shows how much he cares about Lin Peiyan.

Cheng Mozhao couldn't help frowning when he thought of this, but the memory in his mind flashed back to the day when he stabbed Lin Peiyan.

Ning Wanyu's appearance of jumping out to block the sword without hesitation is really annoying.

But at that time, he was blindly sad and sad and hurt Lin Peiyan regardless, and then he stepped into an irreparable situation step by step.

Cheng Mozhao was unhappy, so he handed over Feige's letter to Hei Yu for safekeeping.

After the two had eaten and drank enough, they drove the horses that had also rested to move on.

Led by Ning Wanyu, Lin Peiyan finally settled in this poetic and picturesque Jiangnan town.

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the bluestone road and made a small sound, which seemed a bit abrupt in this quiet water town.

Lin Peiyan opened the window, his eyes lingering on the beautiful scenery outside the window.

"This is a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters." Lin Peiyan said sincerely, although the mountains here are only at the level of hills.

Ning Wanyu laughed and said: "That's natural, how can I be light on the matter of Aunt Zhong and Sister Qingzhu?"

But in an instant, his expression turned pale, "A Yan, on the other hand, has suffered so much for no reason."

Lin Peiyan lowered the car window, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He shook his head, "I'm a rebel, and I'm lucky that I can get a mediocre ending from the death of the Lin family. gone."

"That's natural, it's just that your appearance has changed now. Although I have sent a letter to them to tell them a little bit, but have you thought about how to tell them?"

Lin Peiyan lowered her eyes slightly, and said after a while: "If they recognize this face, they will naturally understand."

Ning Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's true, I'm afraid I'm the only one who hasn't met Ah Yan's mother."

Lin Peiyan smiled and said, "Xiao Zhi hasn't seen it either, are you going to argue about it?"

Ning Wanyu didn't answer, and looked noncommittal.

Waiting for the carriage to stop at a small house near the water, the black tiles and white walls are surrounded by green radishes, and it was born next to the water, giving birth to a bit of gentleness in the water village.

Ning Wanyu's personal servant had already knocked on the door, and after a while, a woman opened the door, it was Aunt Zhong whom Lin Peiyan hadn't seen for a long time.

Lin Peiyan also got off the carriage and walked towards the gate.

Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu are standing at the door at the moment, although they have already received a letter from Feige written by Ning Wanyu, saying that the son is still alive but his appearance and name have all changed.

But now seeing this man who looks exactly like the dead Mrs. Xue standing in front of him, it really feels like a world away.

Speechless for a while.

It was Qingzhu who summoned up a little courage and asked softly in Lin Peiyan's direction, "Master?"

Lin Peiyan smiled and nodded slightly.

Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu burst into tears immediately.

Ning Wanyu also got down from the carriage, seeing the appearance of the three reunited after a long absence, he was a little thoughtful.

"A Yan, let's talk about it first."

Only then did Lin Peiyan realize that they had stood blankly at the door for quite a while, he nodded hastily, and turned around to get the luggage in the carriage.

It's just that Ning Wanyu's valet has a lot of strength, and he directly carried the three people's luggage into the house.

Lin Peiyan was a little surprised, and was about to chase after someone, but was in a hurry when he stepped on the moss and slipped on the soles of his feet.

Seeing that Lin Peiyan was about to fall to the ground, fortunately Ning Wanyu supported him in time.

Lin Peiyan stood firm just now, and hurriedly said: "Ning Xiaoyu, thank you."

Ning Wanyu smiled and let go, "A Yan is really careless."

The inside of this small house is also very delicate, after the hall is surrounded by rooms on all sides.Whether it is the exquisite furnishings in the house or the carefully planted trees in the yard, they all reveal the owner's good intentions.

"Originally, Aunt Zhong and I lived in such a big courtyard, and the single room was quite empty, but now the master and Young Master Ning are here together, which brings a lot of popularity." Qingzhu said with a smile.

Ning Wanyu shook his head when he heard the words, "This house is not that big, you two can live in peace of mind."

Aunt Zhong had already tidied up three clean rooms and came out, and together with the boy, they carefully put the luggage in the rooms and tidied them up.And Lin Peiyan and Ning Wanyu also sat at the table in the hall in leisure time, talking to Qingzhu about what happened in these years.

"My master is blessed with great fate, and I must be rescued by an expert. Although I have lost my original appearance, but now I am so similar to my wife, maybe it is another kind of adventure."

After listening to Lin Peiyan's escape from death, Qingzhu couldn't help shedding tears. If it wasn't for the help of a genius doctor, how would she and Aunt Zhong be able to see Shi Ziye again now.

Lin Peiyan just smiled faintly, "I still want to go to worship my mother earlier, these years at the bottom of the valley, I can only pay respects to the tomb of my mother's clothes, I always have some regrets..."

"It's not in a hurry, it's getting late now, and we haven't prepared anything yet." Ning Wanyu said.

"Yes, master, there is no need to be in a hurry. Let's have a good night's rest first. Tomorrow morning, the old slave will go with Qing Zhu to buy some objects for worship."

Aunt Zhong was tidying up the house, when she came out, she heard Lin Peiyan say that she wanted to pay homage to Xue Yueyin, so she expressed her thoughts.

Lin Peiyan looked helplessly at the pitch-black sky outside, even the moonlight was completely covered, so she could only agree to Aunt Zhong's proposal.

Lin Peiyan's falling asleep has been getting faster and faster recently, maybe it's because of the exhaustion.

It was a coincidence that when Cheng Mozhao and Heiyu arrived in the town, they happened to be earlier than Lin Peiyan.The two arrived during the day.

Cheng Mozhao invested in an inn near Aunt Li Qingzhu's small house.

The distance between the inn and the house happened to be neither too far nor too close, so it was easy to observe but not easy to detect.

Both Cheng Mozhao and Heiyu made appropriate disguises, but they only slightly concealed their appearance.After all, Cheng Mozhao's face is indeed somewhat eye-catching in this backwater town.

The two waited from daytime until sunset, and finally saw the carriage of Lin Peiyan and the others at the gate of the town.Through the slightly opened car window, Cheng Mozhao caught a glimpse of Lin Peiyan's delicate and soft side face. If it wasn't for Heiyu's voice to remind him, he might still be in a daze.

"My lord, it's getting late now, you haven't closed your eyes for two days, you better go back to the inn to rest."

Cheng Mozhao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and refused without thinking, "In case Xiaoyan wants to pay homage to his biological mother, I'd still..."

"It's getting dark, and Mr. Yan and the others must be exhausted, so they definitely won't go to worship at night without preparing anything." Hei Yu said in a deep voice: "You might as well rest well and recharge your spirits tomorrow." Follow Mr. Yan."

Cheng Mozhao pressed his brows in pain and nodded.

The two of them drove for two days and two nights without closing their eyes, and they were really tired and confused.

In the end, Cheng Mozhao decided to follow Lin Peiyan's carriage and return to the inn after being confirmed in the house.

Seeing Lin Peiyan change from women's clothes to men's clothes, he was amazed again.

There was no makeup or powder on her plain face, nor did she deliberately cover her eyes with long and narrow eyeliner.

Cheng Mozhao had always loved Lin Peiyan's eyes.

In the end, I happened to see the scene where Lin Peiyan slipped and Ning Wanyu helped him.

His phoenix eyes were wide open, his teeth were clenched, and his right fist was clenched.

Until the door of the small house was closed again, no one came out for a long time, and the two of them returned to the inn.

Speechless all the way.

Heiyu knew that his prince was naturally in a bad mood after seeing the scene just now, so he didn't dare to speak out easily.

Although Cheng Mozhao wasn't angry, he knew that with his current position, he didn't have the capital to be angry.

Thinking of this, he only felt a bitter feeling in his heart.

☆, poisoning

40

Qingzhu and Aunt Zhong got up early, went to the morning market first, bought some worship items, and came back early as well as Lin Peiyan's favorite food.

Lin Peiyan slept soundly until dawn because of the exhaustion from the continuous journey for the past few days.

Just after waking up, she was dragged by Sister Qingzhu to eat breakfast.

After they were full, they were awake for a while, so they packed up some things and prepared to go to the back mountain to pay homage to Xue Yueyin.

The tomb was also chosen by Ning Wanyu, and it is a good and quiet place.

Today is a bright day.

Lin Peiyan and his group walked to the back mountain, which was not far from the house.The whole town has a quiet and beautiful atmosphere.

No one noticed the two strangers following quietly behind them.

"My lord, Mr. Yan is just going to pay homage to his biological mother, should we follow along like this?"

Hei Yu followed closely behind Cheng Mozhao's pace and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Mozhao lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "I also want to pay homage to Xiaoyan's mother."

He looked at the direction of Lin Peiyan in front of him with gentle eyebrows, turned to Hei Yu and said, "Have you bought all the things?"

Hei Yu nodded and said, "I already bought it at the morning market."

Cheng Mozhao hummed softly and stopped talking.The two continued to follow behind Lin Peiyan and his party silently, but they were far away and kept walking in an undetectable position.

Lin Peiyan knelt in front of Xue Yueyin's tomb, burning paper money with a sad face.

Now that he has become like this, even though he is five or six points like his mother, it is still a bit strange after all.

But my mother left when I was five years old, so I don't know what I looked like before... Thinking of this, Lin Peiyan couldn't help but smile wryly.

The short Xiao left by her mother was also broken to the ground that day, and the jade pendant...

Thinking of this, Lin Peiyan couldn't help raising her delicate eyebrows.

Seeing his sudden sullen expression, Ning Wanyu asked a little puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Lin Peiyan shook her head lightly when she heard the words, "It's nothing."

He looked up at the sky again, it turned out that it was almost noon.

The bright sun hangs high, not dazzling but very comfortable, making people feel warm in the sun.

"Ning Xiaoyu, take Aunt Zhong and Sister Qingzhu back first. I want to talk to my mother alone. I will go back when the sun goes down. I know the way."

Ning Wanyu frowned and said, "But I don't feel relieved to leave you here alone."

Lin Peiyan smiled: "The folk customs here are simple and simple, and there are no bandits here, so you have nothing to worry about me."

Aunt Zhong also interjected at the right time: "Master, let Mr. Ning stay with you. Qingzhu and I go back to the house to cook some food and bring them here. Why don't you stay here all day hungry."

Ning Wanyu saw Lin Peiyan's slightly embarrassed expression, but finally chose a compromise.

"I saw a gazebo at the entrance of the bamboo grove just now, so I'll go there and wait for you. I'll call you when Sister Qingzhu and Aunt Zhong bring the food."

Lin Peiyan nodded in agreement.

After the people left, the surroundings became quiet, and Lin Peiyan sighed softly. He reached out and caressed the tombstone in front of him, as if he was greedy for the last attachment.

"Mother, the Lin family is all dead... how good it is, all the bad guys are dead."

As Lin Peiyan spoke, he couldn't help but shed a tear, he reached out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and showed a faint smile.

"I said I would stop crying, but I'm still too useless."

Suddenly there was a sound of hip flasks colliding behind him, Lin Peiyan's fingers touching the tombstone curled up slightly, and he hurriedly turned his head.

"Who? Who's there?"

No one answered.

Lin Peiyan frowned and stood up. He clearly heard the voice coming from the hidden bamboo forest.

He quietly held the exquisite dagger hidden in his waist in his sleeve, and walked slowly step by step to the place where the sound came from.

"I know someone is here, don't hide from me. Come out!"

Cheng Mozhao originally asked Heiyu to wait in the gazebo, but he walked up the road with his things alone, and then hid quietly in the bamboo forest.

Hearing that Ning Wanyu said to go to the pavilion just now, he was worried that Hei Yu would collide with him head-on, so he picked up the wine and walked down a few steps, but then he felt that with Hei Yu's insight, he would be able to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mozhao walked back up, but because he was a little more relaxed, he accidentally made some noises of wine bottles colliding.He didn't expect that Lin Peiyan's ears were so sharp that he could hear this slight noise.

Seeing Lin Peiyan walking towards him step by step, Cheng Mozhao closed his eyes and walked out anyway.

Lin Peiyan only took a few steps when he saw Shi Shiran coming out of the bamboo forest.

When he saw the man's appearance clearly, he bit his lip and just stared at him.
