Dreaming of Peach Blossoms

follow him.
"Cheng Mozhao? Why are you here?"
Lin Peiyan stared at the person who was walking towards him with a cold face.And what he was carrying.
"You follow me?"
"The other day you said you met at the Lantern Festival but didn't keep the appointment. I just guessed it. It's just that I missed Ning Wanyu's whereabouts by looking for someone, and I didn't follow you on purpose..."
Cheng Mozhao looked at him firmly, and explained again.
"You overheard me?"
Lin Peiyan clenched the dagger in his hand and stared at him coldly.
"I just came up, I really didn't hear anything." Seeing this, Cheng Mozhao hurriedly explained.
"I don't want to see you, and my mother doesn't want to see you either, so hurry up and leave."
Cheng Mozhao smiled wryly, "I just want to burn incense for my aunt, and then leave right away?"
"Do you think you are worthy?" Lin Peiyan sneered when he heard the words, "Do you want me to use a dagger before you leave?"
Cheng Mozhao just lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, staring at Lin Peiyan's dagger resting on his neck.
His eyes looked down slightly, but he saw a blue tail slowly wrapping around Lin Peiyan's feet...
"Xiao Yan..."
"I told you that you are not allowed to call me that... ah!"
"Beware!"
Cheng Mozhao's voice mixed with Lin Peiyan's short scream.
The sharp dagger grazed Cheng Mozhao's neck, leaving a trace of blood, but Lin Peiyan had no time to take care of it at this time. The stabbing pain from his ankle and the accompanying dizziness made him unable to stand up.
Cheng Mozhao supported the fallen Lin Peiyan with one hand, while taking the dagger and stabbing it straight into the snake's seven inches.I saw blood filled the air, and the poisonous snake was killed immediately.
Lin Peiyan fell to the ground, Cheng Mozhao took off his shoes and socks nervously to check where he was bitten.It was indeed a poisonous snake, and the wound was slightly purple.
Before Cheng Mozhao had time to think about it, he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Peiyan's ankle and began to suck out the poisonous blood.
Although Lin Peiyan couldn't move, he was still conscious.He looked at Cheng Mozhao with round eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "You let go... I don't want you to save me."
The corners of Cheng Mozhao's lips were already stained with blood, he let Lin Peiyan beat him but he was still sucking out the poisonous blood.It wasn't until he sucked out the last trace of poisonous blood and spit it out on the ground that Cheng Mozhao replied with a light smile, "I won't let you die, Xiaoyan..."
Although he sucked out the poisonous blood for Lin Peiyan, the poison penetrated into his body with his saliva, and now Cheng Mozhao became a little confused.
Cheng Mozhao tilted his body and fell straight beside Lin Peiyan.
Lin Peiyan's wound has subsided, and his consciousness has recovered.He saw Cheng Mozhao collapsed beside him as if he was poisoned, although he wanted to pull him up, but he had no strength after all.
He had to tear off the strips of cloth and bind his legs tightly.
"Ayan?"
Ning Wanyu's voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Ning Xiaoyu..."
Lin Peiyan's voice was still weak, but it still reached Ning Wanyu's ears clearly.
Ning Wanyu hurried over when she heard the voice, and couldn't help being surprised when she saw this scene.
"What, what's the matter, why is King Ning here, and still look like this?"
With his support, Lin Peiyan stood up with difficulty, "I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and he sucked out the poisonous blood for me, but I was poisoned instead. I must go down the mountain to the medical clinic quickly, or it will be too late for the poison to spread to my heart. "
Ning Wanyu said hello when he heard the words, then lowered his body and carried Cheng Mozhao on his back, and started to walk forward. Although Lin Peiyan was limping, he still kept up with him.
Heiyu was originally staying in the pavilion, but he quietly hid in the flowers behind the pavilion after hearing a sound of voices.
Until he saw Ning Shilang walking down with his lord on his back, and the lord's appearance really didn't look good.
Knowing that the matter of the two of them following Yan Shizi had been exposed, Hei Yu stopped hiding and went out to carry Cheng Mozhao for Ning Banyu.
Ning Wanyu was relieved, but before she could catch her breath, she went to help Lin Peiyan who was limping behind her.
Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu also followed behind with anxious faces.It's just time to go back to make a meal, why did Shizi get bitten by a snake.And what's going on with these two people who appeared out of nowhere... I'm really at a loss.
Fortunately, several people went down the mountain in time, and Cheng Mozhao's poison was cured.
It's just that the poison of the little green snake was fierce, even after detoxification, Cheng Mozhao still passed out on the wooden bed in the medical hall.
Lin Peiyan also re-applied herbal medicine to bandage the wound with the help of the doctor in the medical center. His poisonous blood had already been cleared, but after being bitten, he walked such a long distance. At this time, his calf was already in pain. Can lie sickly on a wooden bed in the hospital.
The two of them became the bed next door.
Ning Wanyu was rather dissatisfied and moved a small stool to sit between the two, watching Lin Peiyan eat with a smile on his face.
"The food is cold, and the taste is probably not very good."
Lin Peiyan shook her head, "Nothing, Aunt Zhong's craftsmanship is as good as ever."
Ning Wanyu smiled and said, "That means you are extremely hungry."
After he finished speaking, he turned his face to look at Cheng Mozhao, master and servant, who were lying down and standing.He said faintly, "I think King Ning came here after he heard my whereabouts. What a wicked fate."
Hei Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this, but didn't say anything.
Although the prince's snake venom had been cured at this time, he was still asleep at this moment, so he was naturally very worried.

When Cheng Mozhao woke up and turned around, it was evening.
He had just woken up, and his consciousness was still a little fuzzy, so he subconsciously found Lin Peiyan.
But there are no other people in this rural medical center.
Cheng Mozhao laughed at himself, raised his hand and stroked his forehead.
After Hei Yu paid off the medical expenses, he came over and helped Cheng Mo Zhao get out of bed.
Hei Yu originally planned to go directly to the inn where the two stayed, but Cheng Mo Zhao seemed to intend to go to Lin Peiyan's house.
"My lord, you'd better take a good rest before your snake venom clears."
Cheng Mozhao raised his hand to interrupt him, "Xiao Yan was also bitten by a poisonous snake, I'd better check his injury before I can rest assured."
Hei Yu hesitated to speak, but finally said what was in his heart: "Young Master Yan's injuries are no longer serious, and it's so late, maybe Young Master Yan has already fallen asleep, so let's go back to the inn to rest first."
Cheng Mozhao pressed his heart in pain, and after a long silence, he finally nodded.
Lin Peiyan returned to the house with Ning Banyu's support after regaining consciousness on her bitten leg.
Fortunately, the snake venom was eliminated in time, otherwise something serious would happen.
Lin Peiyan felt that he owed Cheng Mozhao another favor, but in a blink of an eye, he felt something was wrong. If Cheng Mozhao hadn't appeared here, he would not have gone into the bamboo forest to investigate.
But it is also true that he was saved by Cheng Mozhao again.
Lin Peiyan was meditating in her own small world, and Ning Wanyu saw his thoughtful appearance, her starry eyes moved slightly.
Aunt Zhong had already eaten a very exaggerated and rich meal, as if she intended to make up for Lin Peiyan's lost vitality after being bitten by a snake.
Lin Peiyan's appetite was still affected by the snake venom, and he couldn't eat too much, so he had to pick some light ones to fill his stomach, and then went back to the house to prepare for a rest.
Although he was limping from an injured leg, such trivial matters as bathing and changing clothes did not affect him at all.
At this moment, he changed his clothes and sat on the mattress to rest, with the brocade quilt covering his waist, holding the story book in his hand and casually reading it.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Lin Peiyan was slightly stunned, maybe Aunt Zhong cooked some food for him.
"The door is not locked."
The door creaked and was pushed open.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was Ning Wanyu, but he still held a plate in his hand.
Lin Peiyan saw the small porcelain bowl on the tray, and said with a dumb smile, "Did Aunt Zhong cook anything again? Why did you bring it here?"
Ning Wanyu raised her eyebrows, sat down at the end of the bed with ease, and handed the lotus seed syrup in her hand to Lin Peiyan.
"Aunt Zhong said you didn't eat much at night, so you made some light sugar water. I happened to be on the way, so I brought it for you."
He was holding the tray in his hand while talking.
Lin Peiyan paused for a moment with the hand holding the bowl, and seemed to be very puzzled as he smashed the sugar water with the spoon.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Ning Wanyu shook his head, staring at Lin Peiyan with starry eyes.
"It's nothing serious, it's just that I don't want to keep some words in my heart. I... My feeling for you is no longer as simple as brotherly love." I had a crush on you before, maybe you didn't realize it at all, but I don't think it's too late to tell you now."
Lin Peiyan's body was a little stiff while holding the bowl, and he didn't want to eat or not.
He seemed to have never thought that Ning Wanyu would suddenly say this to him.
Maybe he was too dull, never thought that Ning Wanyu would have such thoughts for him.
He has always just regarded Ning Wanyu as a good brother, and he obviously kept a proper distance from the beginning to the end. He really didn't expect that Ning Wanyu would like him...
"Ning Xiaoyu, I..."
Ning Wanyu suddenly stretched out his index finger to his lips, and hissed softly.
"Ayan, let me finish the sentence first, okay?"
Lin Peiyan kept her voice down, but nodded slowly with lowered eyes.
"I know, you used to hide a person and a childhood promise in your heart, but now those shackles are gone, can you try to accept me?"
Ning Wanyu's eager gaze was fixed on her all the time, even her face felt burning.
Lin Peiyan sighed softly and shook his head slowly.
Ning Wanyu's lips curved slightly, as if he was smiling wryly but also suppressed: "Is it because of King Ning?"
Lin Peiyan shook her head again.
He finally raised his eyes to look at Ning Wanyu, looking straight at him with a calm face: "It's not because of Cheng Mozhao. You have always been the best brother to me. I really don't have...that aspect of you." a feeling of."
"Ayan... I just want to take good care of you for the rest of my life."
"Ning Xiaoyu, you have your life, your family, and your official career. Why don't you hit the wall and never look back. I really regard you as my best friend."
The lotus seed syrup has already cooled down, but the sweetness has already penetrated.Lin Peiyan began to pound the sugar water with a spoon again.
Neither of them said a word, and the air was too quiet.
After a while, Ning Wanyu laughed at himself, and gradually laughed out loud again.
"Ning Xiaoyu..."
Ning Wanyu stretched out his hand to wipe off the tears at the corners of his eyes from laughing, the expression on his face was already the same as before.
"Okay, I get it. Ah Yan, you will always be my good brother. Drink the sugar water quickly, it's getting cold."
Lin Peiyan placed the bowl on the low cabinet beside the bed and shook her head.
"I couldn't drink it."
Ning Wanyu got up and drank the sugar water in one gulp, then put the empty bowl on the tray, "Aunt Zhong will be worried if you don't finish this sugar water. But I'm a little tired after drinking two bowls. Then If you go to bed earlier, it's all because of me pestering you to talk. Then I'll go out first. "
He said a lot of words in a slightly hoarse voice, laughed at himself, turned around and left.
Lin Peiyan lowered her eyebrows, as if she didn't even have the courage to look at his back.
The door creaked shut.
Lin Peiyan sighed helplessly and pressed her forehead.
Head hurt again.
Cheng Mozhao rested overnight, and his body has already returned to normal.
He originally planned to go to Lin Peiyan's house with Hei Yu, but he didn't think that a letter from Fei Ge completely disrupted his plan.
This letter was sent by his confidant who stayed in the palace, and the letter said that the emperor called him back urgently.
Cheng Mozhao gritted his teeth secretly. The reason he told Cheng Moqi when he left the mansion that day was to go to the mountains to play and relax.If there hadn't been an accident in the court and the opposition, he probably wouldn't have been so eager to call him back.
He originally wanted to see Lin Peiyan again before rushing back, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Peiyan hadn't forgiven him yet, so this early in the morning, he must have nothing but a closed door.But he was worried about Lin Peiyan's injury, so he had no choice but to order Heiyu to stay here to watch Lin Peiyan, while he chose a good horse to drive back to Chang'an.
Heiyu wanted to go back with Cheng Mozhao, but he had no choice but to stay and visit Lin Peiyan's house alone.
Cheng Mozhao also had his own considerations, Lin Peiyan's attitude towards Hei Yu was much better than towards himself.Let Hei Yu bring some tonics to him, and he will naturally not refuse.
Hei Yu first bought the best medicinal materials according to Cheng Mozhao's instructions, and then came to visit after wrapping them up.
Unexpectedly, he saw Ning Wanyu and his servants coming out of the door, ready to get into the carriage.
Could it be that Ning Shilang also received some news?
Ning Wanyu tossed and turned without sleep all night.
Fei Ge received the letter in the middle of the night, and the letter also said that the emperor called him back to the palace urgently, and he looked very eager.
Ning Wanyu didn't have a good rest in the first place, but now she has a headache after receiving the letter, and sat in the yard for midnight.
Lin Peiyan got up early, and when she went out, she saw Ning Wanyu sitting at the stone table in the yard.The man had letter paper spread out in front of him, looking drowsy.
Lin Peiyan frowned and walked over, wondering: "Ning Xiaoyu, you haven't slept all night, have you?"
Ning Wanyu was originally half asleep, but when he called out, she woke up completely.He hummed softly.
Lin Peiyan's eyes fell on the letter paper, and he read the contents of the letter carefully, only then did he know that the emperor was going to Ning Wanyu to go back immediately.
"When do you want to go back?"
Ning Wanyu pressed his temples, and his voice was filled with boredom: "The emperor is pressing hard, I originally wanted to stay with you for a few more days, but now I'm afraid I can't."
"It's okay, you can let Ah Wen drive the carriage to take you back first. I want to stay with Aunt Zhong and Sister Qingzhu for a few more days, and then I will hire a carriage to go back by myself."
Ning Wanyu frowned and said, "It's a long journey, you probably have to change carriages at the post station to get there. It's so troublesome."
Lin Peiyan shook her head: "It's just a trivial matter. If the emperor urges you to go back so eagerly, it must be because something big happened in the court. You'd better not delay."
Ning Wanyu replied helplessly: "Okay."
Hei Yu waited for Ning Wanyu's carriage to leave the house before going up to visit, and hurried Lin Peiyan to press the door panel before closing it. Lin Peiyan was startled when he appeared unexpectedly.
Hei Yu looked at Lin Peiyan with some embarrassment, and apologized softly: "Mr. Yan, I didn't mean to scare you, but you closed the door in a hurry."
Lin Peiyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, but why are you here?"
Lin Peiyan looked at the objects in Heiyu's hand again, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you bring something here?"
While talking, he invited Kuroba into the house.
Hei Yu took advantage of the situation and handed all the high-quality medicinal materials in his hand to Lin Peiyan.
"My lord ordered it. It's Mr. Yan, you were bitten by that poisonous snake, you should replenish your vitality."
Lin Peiyan smiled helplessly: "One or two must replenish my strength, I'm really afraid that I will overdo it."
Hei Yu smiled and said: "After all, it is the prince's wish... The prince originally wanted to come and say goodbye to you, but the emperor was in a hurry, and he was afraid that Mr. Yan would not want to see him."
Lin Peiyan's expression was calm when he heard the words, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could something really happen? Why didn't he let you go back with him?"
"My lord ordered me to protect Mr. Yan until I escort you back to Chang'an safely."
"It's really not necessary, I will go back by myself."
Hei Yu didn't reply when he heard the words, but suddenly stopped and knelt down.
Lin Peiyan was shocked: "What are you doing!?"
"Heiyu can't disobey the prince's order. If Mr. Yan insists on returning to Chang'an alone, then I will kneel here until you change your mind."
Lin Peiyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him up, but it was a pity that Heiyu didn't move.He was afraid that it would be bad for Aunt Zhong or Qingzhu to see this scene, so he reluctantly agreed to let Heiyu escort him.
His headache is probably getting worse.
The author has something to say: a good person card.

Lin Peiyan let Heiyu live in the house, after all there is no need to waste money and continue to stay in the hotel.
He only stayed for two more days. Although he had already paid homage to his mother when he first arrived here, Xue Yueyin's memorial day had just arrived.
And the next day was Lin Peiyan's 24th birthday.
Ning Wanyu wanted to stay for a few more days because of this reason, but unfortunately things backfired.
Although Lin Peiyan said that there is no need to be extravagant, just cook a bowl of longevity noodles casually.But how could the two elders be willing to neglect at will.The result was that he himself was fed good food all day long.
Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu led the two of them to have a good time in this small town in the south of the Yangtze River.Before leaving, he stuffed big and small bags into the carriage. Lin Peiyan said helplessly that these were not needed, but he still couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the two of them.
Before Cheng Mozhao left, he left enough silver for Heiyu, and he also bought a carriage to drive Lin Peiyan back to Chang'an by himself.
Lin Peiyan sat in the carriage, and still opened the window to say goodbye to Aunt Zhong and the others.It wasn't until the carriage left the town leisurely that he put down the open window.
Lin Peiyan lowered her eyes and sorted out the baggage in the carriage, but she never expected that Aunt Zhong would stuff so many exquisite pastries into it.He couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching his cheek, it was really fatter.
Lin Peiyan thoughtfully opened a box of peach blossom cakes, turned around and lifted the curtain to ask Hei Yu.
"Hei Yu, would you like a piece of the peach blossom cake made by Aunt Zhong?"
Hei Yu held the horse rope and watched the road carefully, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhong specially made this for Mr. Yan, you should eat it."
"I'll leave this box, and you can take it back to Xiaozhi." Lin Peiyan smiled slightly, "If he persuades you to eat, you probably won't refuse."
Although Hei Yu turned his back to Lin Peiyan, the slightly red tips of his ears revealed his thoughts.
Obviously everyone can see that Hei Yu's feelings for Xiao Zhi are very special, but the person involved is extremely slow.
Lin Peiyan smiled and cleaned up the peach blossom cakes.
Just before the carriage entered the city, it was stopped by an unexpected person.
Hei Yu took the horse rope to pull the stopped carriage, frowned and stared at the uninvited guest in front of him.
Lin Peiyan was taking a nap in the carriage, but suddenly felt the carriage stopped and woke up.Hei Yu's cold voice also came from outside, followed by a lazy voice.
This is Gao Ze's voice.
Lin Peiyan was terrified, and curled up her fingers slightly.He seemed unable to understand why Gao Ze appeared here, and even blocked their way.
"Commander Gao, what is this?"
Hei Yu frowned and looked at Gao Ze who was standing in front of him and the Imperial Forest Army who surrounded the carriage.
Gao Ze still had the same look of cold brows and eyes full of evil spirits, with a faint smile on his face, and his voice was still so cold.
"Of course I'm not looking for you."
He dismounted and walked straight to the carriage.
Hei Yu quietly pressed the dagger at his waist, but he knew that he could not rashly attack the person in front of him.This will only do harm to the prince.
He thought to himself, now that Shizi Yan's appearance has changed drastically and he is pretending to be a woman again, Gao Ze has only seen the original Shizi Yan once, so he may not be able to recognize him.But his battle...
While Hei Yu was distracted, Gao Ze had already raised his hand and knocked on the car door.
His voice was slightly lowered, but Hei Yu could still hear it clearly.
"Senior Yan, are you going to take a trip with me by yourself, or should I press you down?"
Lin Peiyan closed his eyes, and laughed at himself as if resigned to his fate.
The arrival of Gao Ze meant that the emperor already knew his identity, and now that he heard it with his own ears, his heart that had been hanging on him fell down instead.
Lin Peiyan stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and happened to meet Gao Ze's mocking eyes.
"Tsk, Mr. Yan is really blessed, a blessing in disguise. The last time he died, he had such a handsome face."
Although Gao Ze spoke in a joking tone, there was no smile on his face.He got into the carriage, snatched the rope from Hei Yu's hand and drove him into the carriage, turned his face to his subordinates and raised his chin.
I saw that the imperial guards had nailed all the windows of the carriage with wooden boards with tools.Only one exit was left, the door curtain, like a cage.
Seeing this, Lin Peiyan frowned and said: "I can go with you, why even lock him up."
Gao Ze sneered and said, "I've never seen a prisoner as talkative as you. Hei Yu is King Ning's bodyguard. Naturally, the emperor can't let him tell King Ning that the emperor wants to see you. I have to be wronged." Black Feather Guard."
Lin Peiyan had no choice but to put down the heavy curtain, and sat quietly in the carriage, looking at Heiyu.
"Mr. Yan, your identity was never told by the prince to the emperor."
Hei Yu quickly explained, for fear that Lin Peiyan might misunderstand.
"I know."
He didn't think that Cheng Mozhao would tell the emperor his real identity.Perhaps it was the fact that he saved Cheng Mozhao with all his heart and soul that day, which made the emperor suspicious.
It's a foregone conclusion, and there's no point in thinking about how it happened.
I'm afraid this time, he may be doomed.
Gao Ze didn't choose to enter the palace with great fanfare, instead he found the back door path and only ordered a few imperial guards to follow, and he quietly drove the carriage into the palace by himself.
When Lin Peiyan was caught by Gao Ze from the carriage, everything he saw was bleak.Looking at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, it seems to be in a cold palace.
Hei Yu also wanted to get out of the car, but was forced back into the car by those imperial guards who drew their knives and held them against their necks.
Lin Peiyan raised his eyes and glanced, the plaque of Qingqiu Pavilion hanging high was crumbling.
His delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, the emperor wanted to see why he chose to be here.It's just that before he had time to think about it, he was pushed.
"Take the carriage to Jingqi Pavilion and lock it up."
Gao Ze ordered his subordinates without looking back.On the other hand, he pushed Lin Peiyan hard, and led him into the broken house.
Unexpectedly, the yard looked dilapidated, but the house was very clean.
Cheng Moqi was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting lazily on the Arhat couch, drinking tea in his spare time.There was only one eunuch serving tea and water.
Gao Ze stretched out his hand to press Lin Peiyan's shoulder and kicked him in the crook of the leg.
Lin Peiyan fell to his knees uncontrollably.
Cheng Mozhao coughed lightly, raised his eyes and stared coldly at Lin Peiyan, who was kneeling in front of him beyond recognition.
When he first learned that the female doctor in the medical center saved the life of the emperor's brother with all her heart and soul, he thought it was just a coincidence.After all, I heard that it was a woman who saved the life, if the emperor hadn't chased her down the south of the Yangtze River under the pretext of playing, he would not have found Ning Wanyu.
What Cheng Moqi never expected was that Lin Peiyan didn't die, and even changed his face to become another person.
But the only thing that remains the same is that the emperor's brother is infatuated with him.
Thinking of Cheng Mozhao's distraught appearance after watching Lin Peiyan fall off the cliff with his own eyes, Cheng Moqi felt a headache.
At first, I thought that after three years, everything that should be forgotten should be forgotten, but I didn't expect this person to survive.Moreover, he appeared in front of the emperor's brother again and fascinated people.
"You shouldn't die." Cheng Moqi put down the tea cup in his hand with a cold brow.
Although Lin Peiyan was kneeling, his face was still calm.
"Since the emperor already knows my identity, and now he calls me into the palace, is he planning to kill me?"
"You really deserve to die, and you deserved to die three years ago. Now you have three more years to live, maybe you are not satisfied."
Lin Peiyan curled her fingers slightly, raised her eyes to look directly at the man in front of her, and said firmly: "I have never participated in the rebellion of the King of Jiangnan, nor have I ever had the intention of rebelling. To kill people."
Cheng Moqi laughed back angrily: "Lin Peiyan, do you know that with what you said just now, I can punish you for a serious crime of disrespect."
"Dagger, red crane crest, or white silk?" Lin Peiyan smiled and said with ridicule, "Choose one for me this time."
"If you really die in my hands, the emperor will hate me for the rest of my life. But if I let you off lightly, how can I be worthy of my dead father. So, after much deliberation, I decided to give you a gift A chance of life and death."
Lin Peiyan didn't answer, he was silent, as if he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
But Gao Ze answered the words in a timely manner: "The spies who are going to the southern border will leave tomorrow, Mr. Yan should prepare earlier."
"You want me to be a spy in southern Xinjiang?" Lin Peiyan looked at Cheng Moqi in disbelief.
"It's very dangerous to go there this time. Whether you live or die depends on your fate. I see that you are quite suitable to dress up as a woman now. If you want to dress up as a merchant's wife, it is also very suitable."
The eunuch beside Cheng Mozhao had already poured out the cold tea cup and brewed a new pot of tea.Cheng Mozhao picked up the teacup and blew lightly, as if to dissipate the heat before sipping it.
"I don't have to choose either." Lin Peiyan laughed at himself: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
Gao Ze chose another carriage, and ordered his men to take Lin Peiyan back to the clinic.And the special products that were originally carried in the carriage have been moved over.
Before leaving, Gao Ze did not forget to threaten: "Don't even think about running away, there are people watching at the medical clinic day and night. I think you should pack your luggage and wait to leave the city tomorrow."
Lin Peiyan kept her eyes down, as if hiding all her emotions.
"Hei Yu, when are you going to let him go?"
Gao Ze smiled playfully: "Maybe it's waiting for you to leave the city, or maybe it's waiting for you to arrive in southern Xinjiang."
"If you keep holding him, Cheng Mozhao will definitely find out."
"There is no need for Prince Yan to worry about this. His Royal Highness Ning Wang and Ning Shilang are not in Chang'an at the moment, and they are thousands of miles away to treat the flood."
Lin Peiyan was helpless, he couldn't protect himself, how could he protect Heiyu now.I had to resign myself to fate.
Lin Peiyan finally returned to the clinic, but her mood was complicated.
When he entered the hospital with big bags and small bags, he was embraced by the smiling Mo Xinliang.Fu Shuang, who was standing timidly by the side, was a step behind, with a regretful expression on his face.
In the end, it was Fu Xiaoshuang who thoughtfully took many packages, which relieved Lin Peiyan's burden.

Lin Peiyan listened to Mo Xinliang's words absent-mindedly. Originally, Mo Xinliang was still talking non-stop, but seeing him like this, he also calmed down.
"A Yan, what's the matter with you. It's weird after you come back."
"Ah, no, it's nothing." Lin Peiyan came back to his senses and subconsciously denied it.
But in Mo Xinliang's eyes, his slightly flustered appearance seemed to be solid.
Lin Peiyan pretended to be calm, and started to organize the things brought back on the table.He didn't stop until he got the peach blossom cake.
Now that Hei Yu is locked in the palace, there is no way for him to take the shortbread that was originally intended for Xiaozhi.
And he will go out of the city with the emperor's people tomorrow morning.Thinking of this, Lin Peiyan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.It was even more difficult for Cheng Moqi to ask him to fetch the formation map in the hands of the rebellious officials and thieves on the border of southern Xinjiang.
Now we only know that the location of the Shengzi Yidang who poisoned Lin Yuqian that day is roughly in a small town in the southern border town, which seems inconspicuous but has a geographical advantage.
There are hundreds of thousands of mountains, and there are countless terrifying wilds in the rumors, which are said to be difficult for living people to enter.
Luoye Town has already become an important town in southern Xinjiang, because it was used as a stronghold by the rebel party because of its geographical location.The formerly desolate and barren land has already become a fortress for the connection between foreign countries and the Great Zhou.
Pedestrian merchants or passers-by travelers can buy and sell in this transaction.It's just that the town is heavily guarded, and if you want to enter the city, you need to pass various inspections, which is not an easy matter.
Moreover, I heard that the rebellious party's methods of treating Da Zhou's spies are very cruel, and if their identities are discovered, they will definitely not end well.
Lin Peiyan closed his eyes and dismissed these things from his mind.He picked up the well-packed box of peach blossom cakes and turned to look at Fu Shuang.
"Xiaoshuang, may I trouble you to send this peach blossom cake to Xiaozhi on a certain day."
When Fu Shuang heard Lin Peiyan call him, she said yes softly and took the peach blossom cake with both hands.But he still couldn't hold back and asked curiously: "Brother Xiaoyan, why didn't you take it to Xiaozhi yourself, why don't you go and see him?"
"Tomorrow... I have to go to another place, and I don't have time to see him." Lin Peiyan lowered his eyes and began to organize other things.
Mo Xinliang originally squeezed a piece of peach blossom crisp and ate it happily, but when he heard his words, he showed an expression of disbelief.
"Why are you leaving just now? And where are you going?"
"I have something personal, I can't tell you anyway."
Lin Peiyan pretended to be angry and wanted to change the topic, but Mo Xinliang didn't expect Mo Xinliang to accept his tricks at all, instead frowning and asking frantically.
"What's your personal matter, why can't you tell me?" Mo Xinliang became even more curious when he heard him say that, rolled her big kitten-like eyes, and let out a long, smart voice: "But Ning Xiaoyu and Cheng Mozhao They’re not here anymore. I don’t know why the emperor got into trouble and brought these two together to go to the south to deal with the flood.”
Fu Shuang looked at the two of them timidly, and interjected in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoyan's business may not necessarily be related to them..."
Hearing this, Mo Xinliang glared at him with her mouth flattened, and in the next second reached out and pinched the little rabbit's cheek.
Lin Peiyan immediately reached out and knocked off Mo Xinliang's claw, "Xiaoshuang is right, anyway, I'll be back after I finish handling the matter, so you don't have to worry."
Fu Shuang rubbed her cheeks, even though she heard what Lin Peiyan said, she still felt a little worried.
The feeling in Mo Xinliang's heart was about the same as that of Fu Shuang.It's just that Lin Peiyan refused to say it, and he couldn't force it.
Lying down on her carved wooden bed after a long absence, Lin Peiyan closed her eyes in a relaxed manner.
The door was knocked lightly three times, and then opened.
Mo Xinliang shyly moved from the door to Lin Peiyan's bed, pulled a small round stool and sat up quietly.
Lin Peiyan opened her eyes when she heard the movement, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mo Xinliang's worried look.
"Little Mo, you..."
"I know." Mo Xinliang's cheeks were puffed up, "Anyway, you won't tell me anything. But no matter what you are going to do, you must be careful. I saved your life. You are not allowed to die casually! Did you hear me?"
Lin Peiyan laughed dumbly and said, "Okay, I heard it."
"Here."
Mo Xinliang took out a small object from her arms and handed it to Lin Peiyan.
"What?" Lin Peiyan straightened up and took the object. It turned out to be a small sachet with a crookedly embroidered blessing character on it.Lin Peiyan couldn't help laughing.
Mo Xinliang thought that he was disgusted with his craftsmanship, and immediately became arrogant, "If you don't want it, give it back to me! I picked the wormwood in it near Ruoyun Temple, and they said that the flowers and plants over there were contaminated by Buddha. Keeping the air safe or something, anyway, I made one for each of you. Humph, I don’t care if you want it or not!”
Lin Peiyan hurriedly put the sachet into her arms, "It's good. But why did you think of going to Ruoyun Temple, are you looking for Shen Yanqiu?"
Mo Xinliang's bulging energy suddenly collapsed.
"Who is he, I don't know."
Lin Peiyan knew that with his appearance, he must have quarreled with Shen Yanqiu again, but it was difficult to say anything, so he had to let Mo Xinliang's petty temper flare up a few times before persuading him to go back.
After Mo Xinliang left, he took the small sachet and carefully put it into the packed luggage.
I hope it is true as Xiao Mo said, stay safe.
When Gao Ze sent Lin Peiyan away, he had already warned him to go out at Mao the next day, saying that a carriage would come to pick him up.It's just that Lin Peiyan was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night, and kept his eyes open thinking about it for a long time.He woke up at dawn, but he was a little tired after not sleeping all night.
Lin Peiyan was waiting in the backyard with his bundle. He couldn't tell Mo Xinliang and Fu Shuang about the specific things. He didn't even dare to guarantee whether he would come back.
He didn't go out until there was a light knock on the door.
He still dressed like a woman, but he chose colors and styles that were as unobtrusive as possible, and the makeup was traced on his face to cover up his original appearance.
Gao Ze himself also went together, and this time he was pretending to be a tea merchant, while Lin Peiyan was pretending to be his wife.
Although the two were in the same carriage, neither of them knew each other.
"Cheng Mozhao? Why are you here?"
Lin Peiyan stared at the person who was walking towards him with a cold face.And what he was carrying.
"You follow me?"
"The other day you said you met at the Lantern Festival but didn't keep the appointment. I just guessed it. It's just that I missed Ning Wanyu's whereabouts by looking for someone, and I didn't follow you on purpose..."
Cheng Mozhao looked at him firmly, and explained again.
"You overheard me?"
Lin Peiyan clenched the dagger in his hand and stared at him coldly.
"I just came up, I really didn't hear anything." Seeing this, Cheng Mozhao hurriedly explained.
"I don't want to see you, and my mother doesn't want to see you either, so hurry up and leave."
Cheng Mozhao smiled wryly, "I just want to burn incense for my aunt, and then leave right away?"
"Do you think you are worthy?" Lin Peiyan sneered when he heard the words, "Do you want me to use a dagger before you leave?"
Cheng Mozhao just lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, staring at Lin Peiyan's dagger resting on his neck.
His eyes looked down slightly, but he saw a blue tail slowly wrapping around Lin Peiyan's feet...
"Xiao Yan..."
"I told you that you are not allowed to call me that... ah!"
"Beware!"
Cheng Mozhao's voice mixed with Lin Peiyan's short scream.
The sharp dagger grazed Cheng Mozhao's neck, leaving a trace of blood, but Lin Peiyan had no time to take care of it at this time. The stabbing pain from his ankle and the accompanying dizziness made him unable to stand up.
Cheng Mozhao supported the fallen Lin Peiyan with one hand, while taking the dagger and stabbing it straight into the snake's seven inches.I saw blood filled the air, and the poisonous snake was killed immediately.
Lin Peiyan fell to the ground, Cheng Mozhao took off his shoes and socks nervously to check where he was bitten.It was indeed a poisonous snake, and the wound was slightly purple.
Before Cheng Mozhao had time to think about it, he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Peiyan's ankle and began to suck out the poisonous blood.
Although Lin Peiyan couldn't move, he was still conscious.He looked at Cheng Mozhao with round eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "You let go... I don't want you to save me."
The corners of Cheng Mozhao's lips were already stained with blood, he let Lin Peiyan beat him but he was still sucking out the poisonous blood.It wasn't until he sucked out the last trace of poisonous blood and spit it out on the ground that Cheng Mozhao replied with a light smile, "I won't let you die, Xiaoyan..."
Although he sucked out the poisonous blood for Lin Peiyan, the poison penetrated into his body with his saliva, and now Cheng Mozhao became a little confused.
Cheng Mozhao tilted his body and fell straight beside Lin Peiyan.
Lin Peiyan's wound has subsided, and his consciousness has recovered.He saw Cheng Mozhao collapsed beside him as if he was poisoned, although he wanted to pull him up, but he had no strength after all.
He had to tear off the strips of cloth and bind his legs tightly.
"Ayan?"
Ning Wanyu's voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Ning Xiaoyu..."
Lin Peiyan's voice was still weak, but it still reached Ning Wanyu's ears clearly.
Ning Wanyu hurried over when she heard the voice, and couldn't help being surprised when she saw this scene.
"What, what's the matter, why is King Ning here, and still look like this?"
With his support, Lin Peiyan stood up with difficulty, "I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and he sucked out the poisonous blood for me, but I was poisoned instead. I must go down the mountain to the medical clinic quickly, or it will be too late for the poison to spread to my heart. "
Ning Wanyu said hello when he heard the words, then lowered his body and carried Cheng Mozhao on his back, and started to walk forward. Although Lin Peiyan was limping, he still kept up with him.
Heiyu was originally staying in the pavilion, but he quietly hid in the flowers behind the pavilion after hearing a sound of voices.
Until he saw Ning Shilang walking down with his lord on his back, and the lord's appearance really didn't look good.
Knowing that the matter of the two of them following Yan Shizi had been exposed, Hei Yu stopped hiding and went out to carry Cheng Mozhao for Ning Banyu.
Ning Wanyu was relieved, but before she could catch her breath, she went to help Lin Peiyan who was limping behind her.
Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu also followed behind with anxious faces.It's just time to go back to make a meal, why did Shizi get bitten by a snake.And what's going on with these two people who appeared out of nowhere... I'm really at a loss.
Fortunately, several people went down the mountain in time, and Cheng Mozhao's poison was cured.
It's just that the poison of the little green snake was fierce, even after detoxification, Cheng Mozhao still passed out on the wooden bed in the medical hall.
Lin Peiyan also re-applied herbal medicine to bandage the wound with the help of the doctor in the medical center. His poisonous blood had already been cleared, but after being bitten, he walked such a long distance. At this time, his calf was already in pain. Can lie sickly on a wooden bed in the hospital.
The two of them became the bed next door.
Ning Wanyu was rather dissatisfied and moved a small stool to sit between the two, watching Lin Peiyan eat with a smile on his face.
"The food is cold, and the taste is probably not very good."
Lin Peiyan shook her head, "Nothing, Aunt Zhong's craftsmanship is as good as ever."
Ning Wanyu smiled and said, "That means you are extremely hungry."
After he finished speaking, he turned his face to look at Cheng Mozhao, master and servant, who were lying down and standing.He said faintly, "I think King Ning came here after he heard my whereabouts. What a wicked fate."
Hei Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this, but didn't say anything.
Although the prince's snake venom had been cured at this time, he was still asleep at this moment, so he was naturally very worried.
☆, blind

When Cheng Mozhao woke up and turned around, it was evening.
He had just woken up, and his consciousness was still a little fuzzy, so he subconsciously found Lin Peiyan.
But there are no other people in this rural medical center.
Cheng Mozhao laughed at himself, raised his hand and stroked his forehead.
After Hei Yu paid off the medical expenses, he came over and helped Cheng Mo Zhao get out of bed.
Hei Yu originally planned to go directly to the inn where the two stayed, but Cheng Mo Zhao seemed to intend to go to Lin Peiyan's house.
"My lord, you'd better take a good rest before your snake venom clears."
Cheng Mozhao raised his hand to interrupt him, "Xiao Yan was also bitten by a poisonous snake, I'd better check his injury before I can rest assured."
Hei Yu hesitated to speak, but finally said what was in his heart: "Young Master Yan's injuries are no longer serious, and it's so late, maybe Young Master Yan has already fallen asleep, so let's go back to the inn to rest first."
Cheng Mozhao pressed his heart in pain, and after a long silence, he finally nodded.
Lin Peiyan returned to the house with Ning Banyu's support after regaining consciousness on her bitten leg.
Fortunately, the snake venom was eliminated in time, otherwise something serious would happen.
Lin Peiyan felt that he owed Cheng Mozhao another favor, but in a blink of an eye, he felt something was wrong. If Cheng Mozhao hadn't appeared here, he would not have gone into the bamboo forest to investigate.
But it is also true that he was saved by Cheng Mozhao again.
Lin Peiyan was meditating in her own small world, and Ning Wanyu saw his thoughtful appearance, her starry eyes moved slightly.
Aunt Zhong had already eaten a very exaggerated and rich meal, as if she intended to make up for Lin Peiyan's lost vitality after being bitten by a snake.
Lin Peiyan's appetite was still affected by the snake venom, and he couldn't eat too much, so he had to pick some light ones to fill his stomach, and then went back to the house to prepare for a rest.
Although he was limping from an injured leg, such trivial matters as bathing and changing clothes did not affect him at all.
At this moment, he changed his clothes and sat on the mattress to rest, with the brocade quilt covering his waist, holding the story book in his hand and casually reading it.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Lin Peiyan was slightly stunned, maybe Aunt Zhong cooked some food for him.
"The door is not locked."
The door creaked and was pushed open.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was Ning Wanyu, but he still held a plate in his hand.
Lin Peiyan saw the small porcelain bowl on the tray, and said with a dumb smile, "Did Aunt Zhong cook anything again? Why did you bring it here?"
Ning Wanyu raised her eyebrows, sat down at the end of the bed with ease, and handed the lotus seed syrup in her hand to Lin Peiyan.
"Aunt Zhong said you didn't eat much at night, so you made some light sugar water. I happened to be on the way, so I brought it for you."
He was holding the tray in his hand while talking.
Lin Peiyan paused for a moment with the hand holding the bowl, and seemed to be very puzzled as he smashed the sugar water with the spoon.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Ning Wanyu shook his head, staring at Lin Peiyan with starry eyes.
"It's nothing serious, it's just that I don't want to keep some words in my heart. I... My feeling for you is no longer as simple as brotherly love." I had a crush on you before, maybe you didn't realize it at all, but I don't think it's too late to tell you now."
Lin Peiyan's body was a little stiff while holding the bowl, and he didn't want to eat or not.
He seemed to have never thought that Ning Wanyu would suddenly say this to him.
Maybe he was too dull, never thought that Ning Wanyu would have such thoughts for him.
He has always just regarded Ning Wanyu as a good brother, and he obviously kept a proper distance from the beginning to the end. He really didn't expect that Ning Wanyu would like him...
"Ning Xiaoyu, I..."
Ning Wanyu suddenly stretched out his index finger to his lips, and hissed softly.
"Ayan, let me finish the sentence first, okay?"
Lin Peiyan kept her voice down, but nodded slowly with lowered eyes.
"I know, you used to hide a person and a childhood promise in your heart, but now those shackles are gone, can you try to accept me?"
Ning Wanyu's eager gaze was fixed on her all the time, even her face felt burning.
Lin Peiyan sighed softly and shook his head slowly.
Ning Wanyu's lips curved slightly, as if he was smiling wryly but also suppressed: "Is it because of King Ning?"
Lin Peiyan shook her head again.
He finally raised his eyes to look at Ning Wanyu, looking straight at him with a calm face: "It's not because of Cheng Mozhao. You have always been the best brother to me. I really don't have...that aspect of you." a feeling of."
"Ayan... I just want to take good care of you for the rest of my life."
"Ning Xiaoyu, you have your life, your family, and your official career. Why don't you hit the wall and never look back. I really regard you as my best friend."
The lotus seed syrup has already cooled down, but the sweetness has already penetrated.Lin Peiyan began to pound the sugar water with a spoon again.
Neither of them said a word, and the air was too quiet.
After a while, Ning Wanyu laughed at himself, and gradually laughed out loud again.
"Ning Xiaoyu..."
Ning Wanyu stretched out his hand to wipe off the tears at the corners of his eyes from laughing, the expression on his face was already the same as before.
"Okay, I get it. Ah Yan, you will always be my good brother. Drink the sugar water quickly, it's getting cold."
Lin Peiyan placed the bowl on the low cabinet beside the bed and shook her head.
"I couldn't drink it."
Ning Wanyu got up and drank the sugar water in one gulp, then put the empty bowl on the tray, "Aunt Zhong will be worried if you don't finish this sugar water. But I'm a little tired after drinking two bowls. Then If you go to bed earlier, it's all because of me pestering you to talk. Then I'll go out first. "
He said a lot of words in a slightly hoarse voice, laughed at himself, turned around and left.
Lin Peiyan lowered her eyebrows, as if she didn't even have the courage to look at his back.
The door creaked shut.
Lin Peiyan sighed helplessly and pressed her forehead.
Head hurt again.
Cheng Mozhao rested overnight, and his body has already returned to normal.
He originally planned to go to Lin Peiyan's house with Hei Yu, but he didn't think that a letter from Fei Ge completely disrupted his plan.
This letter was sent by his confidant who stayed in the palace, and the letter said that the emperor called him back urgently.
Cheng Mozhao gritted his teeth secretly. The reason he told Cheng Moqi when he left the mansion that day was to go to the mountains to play and relax.If there hadn't been an accident in the court and the opposition, he probably wouldn't have been so eager to call him back.
He originally wanted to see Lin Peiyan again before rushing back, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Peiyan hadn't forgiven him yet, so this early in the morning, he must have nothing but a closed door.But he was worried about Lin Peiyan's injury, so he had no choice but to order Heiyu to stay here to watch Lin Peiyan, while he chose a good horse to drive back to Chang'an.
Heiyu wanted to go back with Cheng Mozhao, but he had no choice but to stay and visit Lin Peiyan's house alone.
Cheng Mozhao also had his own considerations, Lin Peiyan's attitude towards Hei Yu was much better than towards himself.Let Hei Yu bring some tonics to him, and he will naturally not refuse.
Hei Yu first bought the best medicinal materials according to Cheng Mozhao's instructions, and then came to visit after wrapping them up.
Unexpectedly, he saw Ning Wanyu and his servants coming out of the door, ready to get into the carriage.
Could it be that Ning Shilang also received some news?
Ning Wanyu tossed and turned without sleep all night.
Fei Ge received the letter in the middle of the night, and the letter also said that the emperor called him back to the palace urgently, and he looked very eager.
Ning Wanyu didn't have a good rest in the first place, but now she has a headache after receiving the letter, and sat in the yard for midnight.
Lin Peiyan got up early, and when she went out, she saw Ning Wanyu sitting at the stone table in the yard.The man had letter paper spread out in front of him, looking drowsy.
Lin Peiyan frowned and walked over, wondering: "Ning Xiaoyu, you haven't slept all night, have you?"
Ning Wanyu was originally half asleep, but when he called out, she woke up completely.He hummed softly.
Lin Peiyan's eyes fell on the letter paper, and he read the contents of the letter carefully, only then did he know that the emperor was going to Ning Wanyu to go back immediately.
"When do you want to go back?"
Ning Wanyu pressed his temples, and his voice was filled with boredom: "The emperor is pressing hard, I originally wanted to stay with you for a few more days, but now I'm afraid I can't."
"It's okay, you can let Ah Wen drive the carriage to take you back first. I want to stay with Aunt Zhong and Sister Qingzhu for a few more days, and then I will hire a carriage to go back by myself."
Ning Wanyu frowned and said, "It's a long journey, you probably have to change carriages at the post station to get there. It's so troublesome."
Lin Peiyan shook her head: "It's just a trivial matter. If the emperor urges you to go back so eagerly, it must be because something big happened in the court. You'd better not delay."
Ning Wanyu replied helplessly: "Okay."
Hei Yu waited for Ning Wanyu's carriage to leave the house before going up to visit, and hurried Lin Peiyan to press the door panel before closing it. Lin Peiyan was startled when he appeared unexpectedly.
Hei Yu looked at Lin Peiyan with some embarrassment, and apologized softly: "Mr. Yan, I didn't mean to scare you, but you closed the door in a hurry."
Lin Peiyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, but why are you here?"
Lin Peiyan looked at the objects in Heiyu's hand again, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you bring something here?"
While talking, he invited Kuroba into the house.
Hei Yu took advantage of the situation and handed all the high-quality medicinal materials in his hand to Lin Peiyan.
"My lord ordered it. It's Mr. Yan, you were bitten by that poisonous snake, you should replenish your vitality."
Lin Peiyan smiled helplessly: "One or two must replenish my strength, I'm really afraid that I will overdo it."
Hei Yu smiled and said: "After all, it is the prince's wish... The prince originally wanted to come and say goodbye to you, but the emperor was in a hurry, and he was afraid that Mr. Yan would not want to see him."
Lin Peiyan's expression was calm when he heard the words, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could something really happen? Why didn't he let you go back with him?"
"My lord ordered me to protect Mr. Yan until I escort you back to Chang'an safely."
"It's really not necessary, I will go back by myself."
Hei Yu didn't reply when he heard the words, but suddenly stopped and knelt down.
Lin Peiyan was shocked: "What are you doing!?"
"Heiyu can't disobey the prince's order. If Mr. Yan insists on returning to Chang'an alone, then I will kneel here until you change your mind."
Lin Peiyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him up, but it was a pity that Heiyu didn't move.He was afraid that it would be bad for Aunt Zhong or Qingzhu to see this scene, so he reluctantly agreed to let Heiyu escort him.
His headache is probably getting worse.
The author has something to say: a good person card.
☆, mutation

Lin Peiyan let Heiyu live in the house, after all there is no need to waste money and continue to stay in the hotel.
He only stayed for two more days. Although he had already paid homage to his mother when he first arrived here, Xue Yueyin's memorial day had just arrived.
And the next day was Lin Peiyan's 24th birthday.
Ning Wanyu wanted to stay for a few more days because of this reason, but unfortunately things backfired.
Although Lin Peiyan said that there is no need to be extravagant, just cook a bowl of longevity noodles casually.But how could the two elders be willing to neglect at will.The result was that he himself was fed good food all day long.
Aunt Zhong and Qingzhu led the two of them to have a good time in this small town in the south of the Yangtze River.Before leaving, he stuffed big and small bags into the carriage. Lin Peiyan said helplessly that these were not needed, but he still couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the two of them.
Before Cheng Mozhao left, he left enough silver for Heiyu, and he also bought a carriage to drive Lin Peiyan back to Chang'an by himself.
Lin Peiyan sat in the carriage, and still opened the window to say goodbye to Aunt Zhong and the others.It wasn't until the carriage left the town leisurely that he put down the open window.
Lin Peiyan lowered her eyes and sorted out the baggage in the carriage, but she never expected that Aunt Zhong would stuff so many exquisite pastries into it.He couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching his cheek, it was really fatter.
Lin Peiyan thoughtfully opened a box of peach blossom cakes, turned around and lifted the curtain to ask Hei Yu.
"Hei Yu, would you like a piece of the peach blossom cake made by Aunt Zhong?"
Hei Yu held the horse rope and watched the road carefully, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhong specially made this for Mr. Yan, you should eat it."
"I'll leave this box, and you can take it back to Xiaozhi." Lin Peiyan smiled slightly, "If he persuades you to eat, you probably won't refuse."
Although Hei Yu turned his back to Lin Peiyan, the slightly red tips of his ears revealed his thoughts.
Obviously everyone can see that Hei Yu's feelings for Xiao Zhi are very special, but the person involved is extremely slow.
Lin Peiyan smiled and cleaned up the peach blossom cakes.
Just before the carriage entered the city, it was stopped by an unexpected person.
Hei Yu took the horse rope to pull the stopped carriage, frowned and stared at the uninvited guest in front of him.
Lin Peiyan was taking a nap in the carriage, but suddenly felt the carriage stopped and woke up.Hei Yu's cold voice also came from outside, followed by a lazy voice.
This is Gao Ze's voice.
Lin Peiyan was terrified, and curled up her fingers slightly.He seemed unable to understand why Gao Ze appeared here, and even blocked their way.
"Commander Gao, what is this?"
Hei Yu frowned and looked at Gao Ze who was standing in front of him and the Imperial Forest Army who surrounded the carriage.
Gao Ze still had the same look of cold brows and eyes full of evil spirits, with a faint smile on his face, and his voice was still so cold.
"Of course I'm not looking for you."
He dismounted and walked straight to the carriage.
Hei Yu quietly pressed the dagger at his waist, but he knew that he could not rashly attack the person in front of him.This will only do harm to the prince.
He thought to himself, now that Shizi Yan's appearance has changed drastically and he is pretending to be a woman again, Gao Ze has only seen the original Shizi Yan once, so he may not be able to recognize him.But his battle...
While Hei Yu was distracted, Gao Ze had already raised his hand and knocked on the car door.
His voice was slightly lowered, but Hei Yu could still hear it clearly.
"Senior Yan, are you going to take a trip with me by yourself, or should I press you down?"
Lin Peiyan closed his eyes, and laughed at himself as if resigned to his fate.
The arrival of Gao Ze meant that the emperor already knew his identity, and now that he heard it with his own ears, his heart that had been hanging on him fell down instead.
Lin Peiyan stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and happened to meet Gao Ze's mocking eyes.
"Tsk, Mr. Yan is really blessed, a blessing in disguise. The last time he died, he had such a handsome face."
Although Gao Ze spoke in a joking tone, there was no smile on his face.He got into the carriage, snatched the rope from Hei Yu's hand and drove him into the carriage, turned his face to his subordinates and raised his chin.
I saw that the imperial guards had nailed all the windows of the carriage with wooden boards with tools.Only one exit was left, the door curtain, like a cage.
Seeing this, Lin Peiyan frowned and said: "I can go with you, why even lock him up."
Gao Ze sneered and said, "I've never seen a prisoner as talkative as you. Hei Yu is King Ning's bodyguard. Naturally, the emperor can't let him tell King Ning that the emperor wants to see you. I have to be wronged." Black Feather Guard."
Lin Peiyan had no choice but to put down the heavy curtain, and sat quietly in the carriage, looking at Heiyu.
"Mr. Yan, your identity was never told by the prince to the emperor."
Hei Yu quickly explained, for fear that Lin Peiyan might misunderstand.
"I know."
He didn't think that Cheng Mozhao would tell the emperor his real identity.Perhaps it was the fact that he saved Cheng Mozhao with all his heart and soul that day, which made the emperor suspicious.
It's a foregone conclusion, and there's no point in thinking about how it happened.
I'm afraid this time, he may be doomed.
Gao Ze didn't choose to enter the palace with great fanfare, instead he found the back door path and only ordered a few imperial guards to follow, and he quietly drove the carriage into the palace by himself.
When Lin Peiyan was caught by Gao Ze from the carriage, everything he saw was bleak.Looking at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, it seems to be in a cold palace.
Hei Yu also wanted to get out of the car, but was forced back into the car by those imperial guards who drew their knives and held them against their necks.
Lin Peiyan raised his eyes and glanced, the plaque of Qingqiu Pavilion hanging high was crumbling.
His delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, the emperor wanted to see why he chose to be here.It's just that before he had time to think about it, he was pushed.
"Take the carriage to Jingqi Pavilion and lock it up."
Gao Ze ordered his subordinates without looking back.On the other hand, he pushed Lin Peiyan hard, and led him into the broken house.
Unexpectedly, the yard looked dilapidated, but the house was very clean.
Cheng Moqi was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting lazily on the Arhat couch, drinking tea in his spare time.There was only one eunuch serving tea and water.
Gao Ze stretched out his hand to press Lin Peiyan's shoulder and kicked him in the crook of the leg.
Lin Peiyan fell to his knees uncontrollably.
Cheng Mozhao coughed lightly, raised his eyes and stared coldly at Lin Peiyan, who was kneeling in front of him beyond recognition.
When he first learned that the female doctor in the medical center saved the life of the emperor's brother with all her heart and soul, he thought it was just a coincidence.After all, I heard that it was a woman who saved the life, if the emperor hadn't chased her down the south of the Yangtze River under the pretext of playing, he would not have found Ning Wanyu.
What Cheng Moqi never expected was that Lin Peiyan didn't die, and even changed his face to become another person.
But the only thing that remains the same is that the emperor's brother is infatuated with him.
Thinking of Cheng Mozhao's distraught appearance after watching Lin Peiyan fall off the cliff with his own eyes, Cheng Moqi felt a headache.
At first, I thought that after three years, everything that should be forgotten should be forgotten, but I didn't expect this person to survive.Moreover, he appeared in front of the emperor's brother again and fascinated people.
"You shouldn't die." Cheng Moqi put down the tea cup in his hand with a cold brow.
Although Lin Peiyan was kneeling, his face was still calm.
"Since the emperor already knows my identity, and now he calls me into the palace, is he planning to kill me?"
"You really deserve to die, and you deserved to die three years ago. Now you have three more years to live, maybe you are not satisfied."
Lin Peiyan curled her fingers slightly, raised her eyes to look directly at the man in front of her, and said firmly: "I have never participated in the rebellion of the King of Jiangnan, nor have I ever had the intention of rebelling. To kill people."
Cheng Moqi laughed back angrily: "Lin Peiyan, do you know that with what you said just now, I can punish you for a serious crime of disrespect."
"Dagger, red crane crest, or white silk?" Lin Peiyan smiled and said with ridicule, "Choose one for me this time."
"If you really die in my hands, the emperor will hate me for the rest of my life. But if I let you off lightly, how can I be worthy of my dead father. So, after much deliberation, I decided to give you a gift A chance of life and death."
Lin Peiyan didn't answer, he was silent, as if he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
But Gao Ze answered the words in a timely manner: "The spies who are going to the southern border will leave tomorrow, Mr. Yan should prepare earlier."
"You want me to be a spy in southern Xinjiang?" Lin Peiyan looked at Cheng Moqi in disbelief.
"It's very dangerous to go there this time. Whether you live or die depends on your fate. I see that you are quite suitable to dress up as a woman now. If you want to dress up as a merchant's wife, it is also very suitable."
The eunuch beside Cheng Mozhao had already poured out the cold tea cup and brewed a new pot of tea.Cheng Mozhao picked up the teacup and blew lightly, as if to dissipate the heat before sipping it.
"I don't have to choose either." Lin Peiyan laughed at himself: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
Gao Ze chose another carriage, and ordered his men to take Lin Peiyan back to the clinic.And the special products that were originally carried in the carriage have been moved over.
Before leaving, Gao Ze did not forget to threaten: "Don't even think about running away, there are people watching at the medical clinic day and night. I think you should pack your luggage and wait to leave the city tomorrow."
Lin Peiyan kept her eyes down, as if hiding all her emotions.
"Hei Yu, when are you going to let him go?"
Gao Ze smiled playfully: "Maybe it's waiting for you to leave the city, or maybe it's waiting for you to arrive in southern Xinjiang."
"If you keep holding him, Cheng Mozhao will definitely find out."
"There is no need for Prince Yan to worry about this. His Royal Highness Ning Wang and Ning Shilang are not in Chang'an at the moment, and they are thousands of miles away to treat the flood."
Lin Peiyan was helpless, he couldn't protect himself, how could he protect Heiyu now.I had to resign myself to fate.
Lin Peiyan finally returned to the clinic, but her mood was complicated.
When he entered the hospital with big bags and small bags, he was embraced by the smiling Mo Xinliang.Fu Shuang, who was standing timidly by the side, was a step behind, with a regretful expression on his face.
In the end, it was Fu Xiaoshuang who thoughtfully took many packages, which relieved Lin Peiyan's burden.

Lin Peiyan listened to Mo Xinliang's words absent-mindedly. Originally, Mo Xinliang was still talking non-stop, but seeing him like this, he also calmed down.
"A Yan, what's the matter with you. It's weird after you come back."
"Ah, no, it's nothing." Lin Peiyan came back to his senses and subconsciously denied it.
But in Mo Xinliang's eyes, his slightly flustered appearance seemed to be solid.
Lin Peiyan pretended to be calm, and started to organize the things brought back on the table.He didn't stop until he got the peach blossom cake.
Now that Hei Yu is locked in the palace, there is no way for him to take the shortbread that was originally intended for Xiaozhi.
And he will go out of the city with the emperor's people tomorrow morning.Thinking of this, Lin Peiyan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.It was even more difficult for Cheng Moqi to ask him to fetch the formation map in the hands of the rebellious officials and thieves on the border of southern Xinjiang.
Now we only know that the location of the Shengzi Yidang who poisoned Lin Yuqian that day is roughly in a small town in the southern border town, which seems inconspicuous but has a geographical advantage.
There are hundreds of thousands of mountains, and there are countless terrifying wilds in the rumors, which are said to be difficult for living people to enter.
Luoye Town has already become an important town in southern Xinjiang, because it was used as a stronghold by the rebel party because of its geographical location.The formerly desolate and barren land has already become a fortress for the connection between foreign countries and the Great Zhou.
Pedestrian merchants or passers-by travelers can buy and sell in this transaction.It's just that the town is heavily guarded, and if you want to enter the city, you need to pass various inspections, which is not an easy matter.
Moreover, I heard that the rebellious party's methods of treating Da Zhou's spies are very cruel, and if their identities are discovered, they will definitely not end well.
Lin Peiyan closed his eyes and dismissed these things from his mind.He picked up the well-packed box of peach blossom cakes and turned to look at Fu Shuang.
"Xiaoshuang, may I trouble you to send this peach blossom cake to Xiaozhi on a certain day."
When Fu Shuang heard Lin Peiyan call him, she said yes softly and took the peach blossom cake with both hands.But he still couldn't hold back and asked curiously: "Brother Xiaoyan, why didn't you take it to Xiaozhi yourself, why don't you go and see him?"
"Tomorrow... I have to go to another place, and I don't have time to see him." Lin Peiyan lowered his eyes and began to organize other things.
Mo Xinliang originally squeezed a piece of peach blossom crisp and ate it happily, but when he heard his words, he showed an expression of disbelief.
"Why are you leaving just now? And where are you going?"
"I have something personal, I can't tell you anyway."
Lin Peiyan pretended to be angry and wanted to change the topic, but Mo Xinliang didn't expect Mo Xinliang to accept his tricks at all, instead frowning and asking frantically.
"What's your personal matter, why can't you tell me?" Mo Xinliang became even more curious when he heard him say that, rolled her big kitten-like eyes, and let out a long, smart voice: "But Ning Xiaoyu and Cheng Mozhao They’re not here anymore. I don’t know why the emperor got into trouble and brought these two together to go to the south to deal with the flood.”
Fu Shuang looked at the two of them timidly, and interjected in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoyan's business may not necessarily be related to them..."
Hearing this, Mo Xinliang glared at him with her mouth flattened, and in the next second reached out and pinched the little rabbit's cheek.
Lin Peiyan immediately reached out and knocked off Mo Xinliang's claw, "Xiaoshuang is right, anyway, I'll be back after I finish handling the matter, so you don't have to worry."
Fu Shuang rubbed her cheeks, even though she heard what Lin Peiyan said, she still felt a little worried.
The feeling in Mo Xinliang's heart was about the same as that of Fu Shuang.It's just that Lin Peiyan refused to say it, and he couldn't force it.
Lying down on her carved wooden bed after a long absence, Lin Peiyan closed her eyes in a relaxed manner.
The door was knocked lightly three times, and then opened.
Mo Xinliang shyly moved from the door to Lin Peiyan's bed, pulled a small round stool and sat up quietly.
Lin Peiyan opened her eyes when she heard the movement, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mo Xinliang's worried look.
"Little Mo, you..."
"I know." Mo Xinliang's cheeks were puffed up, "Anyway, you won't tell me anything. But no matter what you are going to do, you must be careful. I saved your life. You are not allowed to die casually! Did you hear me?"
Lin Peiyan laughed dumbly and said, "Okay, I heard it."
"Here."
Mo Xinliang took out a small object from her arms and handed it to Lin Peiyan.
"What?" Lin Peiyan straightened up and took the object. It turned out to be a small sachet with a crookedly embroidered blessing character on it.Lin Peiyan couldn't help laughing.
Mo Xinliang thought that he was disgusted with his craftsmanship, and immediately became arrogant, "If you don't want it, give it back to me! I picked the wormwood in it near Ruoyun Temple, and they said that the flowers and plants over there were contaminated by Buddha. Keeping the air safe or something, anyway, I made one for each of you. Humph, I don’t care if you want it or not!”
Lin Peiyan hurriedly put the sachet into her arms, "It's good. But why did you think of going to Ruoyun Temple, are you looking for Shen Yanqiu?"
Mo Xinliang's bulging energy suddenly collapsed.
"Who is he, I don't know."
Lin Peiyan knew that with his appearance, he must have quarreled with Shen Yanqiu again, but it was difficult to say anything, so he had to let Mo Xinliang's petty temper flare up a few times before persuading him to go back.
After Mo Xinliang left, he took the small sachet and carefully put it into the packed luggage.
I hope it is true as Xiao Mo said, stay safe.
When Gao Ze sent Lin Peiyan away, he had already warned him to go out at Mao the next day, saying that a carriage would come to pick him up.It's just that Lin Peiyan was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night, and kept his eyes open thinking about it for a long time.He woke up at dawn, but he was a little tired after not sleeping all night.
Lin Peiyan was waiting in the backyard with his bundle. He couldn't tell Mo Xinliang and Fu Shuang about the specific things. He didn't even dare to guarantee whether he would come back.
He didn't go out until there was a light knock on the door.
He still dressed like a woman, but he chose colors and styles that were as unobtrusive as possible, and the makeup was traced on his face to cover up his original appearance.
Gao Ze himself also went together, and this time he was pretending to be a tea merchant, while Lin Peiyan was pretending to be his wife.
Although the two were in the same carriage, neither of them knew each other.
