Qin Canglan clasped it with five fingers and held it.

"What's wrong with you?" Sikong Yun asked worriedly.

"It seemed like I suddenly lost consciousness just now..."

Qin Canglan frowned and waved his hands indifferently, "It should be a gout attack, and it happened a few times before, and every time my wrist hurts, this time it's gone, and it seems that it has improved a lot. "

Sikong Yun glanced at him, the worry in his eyes did not dissipate.

at dusk.

After Su Li ate a bland vegetarian meal, she lay down on the hard bed.

"Hey, after finally getting out of Guo's house, you should feel so at ease, and then you are locked up in this villa where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't shit."

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Su Li asked angrily.

There was no answer from outside.

Su Li frowned strangely, turned over and got out of bed, walked over and opened the door to have a look.

Half of the people were missing, but there was a bright red wild fruit on the ground at the door.

He picked up the wild fruit and broke it open.

The pip was gone, replaced by a folded note.

He looked around to make sure no one had noticed, and hurriedly took the note in.

"Taught by the White Lotus? Exciting!"

When night fell completely, Su Li changed into night clothes and quietly left the villa.

Returning to his own room, Qin Canglan glanced at the top of his head, there was a slight sound of tiles being stepped on, he snorted coldly: "You brat, don't know how to be gentle!"

The security of the temple is very strict.

Jing Yi, holding the long sword, sat on a high branch at the door.

The black shadow flitted in front of him blatantly, and he didn't move at all, as if he hadn't noticed it.

Su Li used lightness kung fu all the way into the temple.

He avoided the patrolling guards and sneaked into the other courtyard where the empress dowager and empress dowager temporarily lived.

Xiao Duye, Xiao Chonghua, and Xiao Shunyang just came up from the mountain.

Xiao Duye paused, then turned his head to look at the yard: "A figure flashed past just now, did you see it?"

Xiao Chonghua said without changing his face: "Brother, I'm afraid I misread it? Where is there any figure?"

"Really!" Xiao Duye said sternly, "It passed by in a flash! Second brother, what do you think?"

He looked at Xiao Shunyang on the other side.

Xiao Shunyang was staring at a certain Zen room without blinking.

"Second brother, second brother!" Xiao Duye shook his shoulder.

Xiao Shunyang withdrew his gaze, was startled, and said, "What's wrong, big brother?"

Xiao Duye frowned and said, "I asked you if you saw a black shadow just now? Why are you so preoccupied?"

Xiao Chonghua said unhurriedly: "Does it need to be said? The second brother must be worried about the imperial grandmother. The imperial grandmother has just recovered from a serious illness, and today she climbed up the mountain by herself. When we went to pay her respects, her face was not very good. Right, second brother?"

Xiao Shunyang said: "Yes."

"I'd better go and have a look, just in case..." Xiao Duye was left out for a long time, anxious to make a contribution.

Xiao Chonghua said: "Brother, Jing Yi is guarding the door, he will not let anyone suspicious come in. Besides, the emperor's grandmother and the empress dowager have already rested, if you go in and disturb them, I'm afraid that the emperor will blame you , Big Brother has to be grounded again."

These words successfully hit Xiao Duye's sore spot, Xiao Duye's face turned blue and red, and he walked away depressed.

Xiao Chonghua looked at Xiao Shunyang and said, "Second brother, let's go back too."

Xiao Shunyang smiled: "Second brother hasn't reminisced with you for a long time, let's go sit with you."

"Second Highness, Third Highness!"

A young eunuch hurried over and saluted respectfully, "The second princess is feeling unwell."

Xiao Chonghua said empathetically: "Second Brother goes to accompany Second Sister-in-law first, we will talk about it another day."

...

Su Xiaoxiao was already lying down, Su Li pried off her door bolt and entered in a flash.

When a stick flew over, Su Li shook her body, took a side step to avoid it, and raised her hand to grab the stick.

"You killed someone!"

He scolded in a low voice, and closed the door with his backhand, "It's me!"

"I know it's you." Su Xiaoxiao sat up cross-legged.

Su Li's face sank: "Then you still—"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Try your skills."

Su Li rolled her eyes: "Boring."

He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eye, seeing that she was neatly dressed, so he walked over with confidence, and handed the note in front of her: "Here."

"Any news?"

"I just received it. Someone knocked on the door. I went to open the door. There was no one there. There was a fruit on the ground with a note in it."

He said and sat down on the stool by the table.

Looking at the four baskets full of fresh melons and fruits on the table, his eyes widened suddenly.

"No way, where do you get so many fruits?"

Biezhuang also shared some fruits, but it's a pity that they are green and small, and there are not many.

He tasted one: "It's so sweet!"

It's so cool to live on the mountain, there are such sweet fruits to eat!

He started to eat with a whimper.

Su Xiaoxiao unfolded the note.

This time, the White Lotus Sect didn't use secret codes, and simply wrote down the time and place.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "You said, someone knocked on your door?"

"Yes." Su Li said.

Su Xiaoxiao pondered: "It seems that besides Guo Huan, there are other believers of the White Lotus Sect in the accompanying team."

Su Li paused when she gnawed on the fruit: "Isn't it?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "If an outsider sneaked in, Qin Canglan would have discovered it long ago."

Su Li murmured: "It seems reasonable for you to say that."

His great-uncle is very powerful, absolutely no assassin can be arrogant under his great-uncle's nose.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Go, go to the agreed place and have a look."

Su Li wondered: "Isn't it Zishi? It's still early!"

Su Xiaoxiao took out a set of night clothes from the bag: "Go early to wait for the rabbit, what if he leaves you a note again?"

Su Li frowned: "Is he sick?"

Su Xiaoxiao put on her night clothes: "Otherwise, why didn't he meet you in Biezhuang? It must be because he doesn't want you to know his identity."

"All right, all right." Su Li took a piece of fruit in his mouth, and grabbed a few more into his bosom, and there was no one else to eat or carry.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the temple fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Xihe shook his body and sat up with a low cry.

The little maid lying on the table on duty at night was awakened: "Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Xihe broke out in a cold sweat, she looked at the window where the shadows of the trees were dancing, "Is there someone?"

The little maid pushed open the window and took a look: "There is no one."

Xiao Yunzi entered with an oil lamp: "Empress Dowager, are you having nightmares again?"

Bai Xihe took a deep breath and nodded with a pale face.

Xiao Yunzi said to the little maid: "Go to the small kitchen and make some porridge."

"yes."

The little maid went.

Xiao Yunzi put down the oil lamp and poured a cup of herbal tea for Bai Xihe: "Take a sip of tea to calm your shock."

Bai Xihe took the cup and took a small sip: "How long have I been asleep?"

Xiao Yunzi said: "Three hours, do you want to sleep a little longer? You haven't eaten dinner, are you hungry? After a while the porridge is ready and I will call you."

Bai Xihe shook his head: "I'm not hungry, and I don't want to sleep, so you go out for a walk with me."
