Listen to the spring breeze in Tusu Pavilion, and the faint fragrance floats into the shaking flower bells
1
I only stayed in Tusu Pavilion for a while while listening to the fragrance of the Poetry Academy. He Lanci's forehead began to sweat. Surrounding the pavilion, there is lingering wind, and the emerald green screen blocks the cold air of winter. In particular, the "Yuelin Incense" burning in the incense burner in the corner is a rare item in this capital. This fragrance is as clean as jade and tastes like lotus fragrance. It has a faint flame when burning, but it can fill the whole hall with fragrance. Therefore, the entire Tusu Pavilion can be described with four words: "rich and fragrant".
As he was watching, he saw the eldest prince walking out of the inner courtyard and taking a seat solemnly. Then he greeted He Lanci: "Brother He, you are well, please take a seat quickly."
He Lanci was startled and tightened his green feather leather robe: "Your Highness, I'd better stand."
The eldest prince smiled softly: "Brother He is used to standing with my father. "Okay."
Helan didn't answer, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing misfortune.
The eldest prince Luo Feng opened the window, and the cold wind came in and blew all over the hall. Then he asked: "Why did I hear that the third brother still needs to use ice when it is freezing? Brother He Do you know?"
"Yes." He Lanci stroked his beard and replied, "The third prince has taken the elixir refined by his brother, so he will naturally not be afraid. "Huh?"
"Oh? The elixir that He Lanyun made is so magical when we were young. I didn't expect that the boy who was behind you and me when we were young is now running in front of us." "
He Lanci's serious face softened and he replied: "Your Highness is joking, I don't believe in any pills. All people in the world have reincarnation, and there are limits to the growth of all things. If you can achieve Taoism, then this Everyone in the world has gone to practice Taoism."
"Have you ever seen this elixir? Since He Lanyun came back, he gave my third brother the elixir, and he told me, "Yang Qi." Although he is very prosperous, his body is unbearably hot, so he uses this ice cube to dispel the heat. '"
"I don't know, but every time I see the third prince, his face is rosy, but this body, Seeing that he was getting thinner day by day, I just thought it was the third prince who was over-harvesting, and I didn't dare to say it clearly."
Luo Feng thought for a few seconds and said, "I think this is strange, and that's why I invited you here this time. I hope this matter will be investigated."
"Your Highness, this is hard for me to obey."
"Why?"
"Your Highness knows that I am with Lan Yun. For the sake of brothers, why do you want me to check Lan Yun?"
Luo Feng looked up at He Lanci from his seat, "First, you and I have the deepest relationship in the entire palace, so I naturally trust you. For you. Secondly, it is your nature to be upright. Even if your colleagues make mistakes, you will not cover up. Therefore, I should entrust you with this matter."
Seeing that He Lanci was silent, Luo Feng stood up and walked in front of He Lanci. The distance between their noses was less than ten inches. He stared at He Lanci closely and said, "Don't worry, I won't I will let you go alone, and someone will accompany you."
Hearing that someone was going with him, He Lanci breathed a sigh of relief, took a step forward, slightly avoided Luo Feng's eyes and asked: "Who?"
The eldest prince Luo Feng made a fist with his left hand but extended his thumb to his chest and said with a smile
"Me."

In order to conceal their whereabouts, He Lanci and Luo Feng took Luo Feng to a lonely trail. Firstly, they did not want to be noticed by the third prince's minions, and secondly, Luo Feng's identity was too prominent. It took twice as long as usual to get here. The emperor's five sons each lived in the east, west, south, north and center of the capital. ’ Needless to say, the eldest prince lives in the middle. The residences of the three princes are in the north of the capital. It is shady here, and the cold wind in the cold winter months is very cold.
The two took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the third prince's courtyard. The courtyard is quiet everywhere. The pond in the courtyard has not yet frozen. The exceptionally clear water reflects the elegant rockery stones beside the pond. If you look carefully, you can still see the majestic Poetry Listening Courtyard in the distance in the water.
"Under the moon, there is a flying mirror, and the clouds are forming sea towers." He Lanci has an elegant and quiet nature. Seeing this extremely beautiful scene, he was naturally lost in thought and whispered the poem. < /p>
He Lanci blushed and said nothing.
"Such a poetic and picturesque scene, I really didn't expect to see it in the third brother's mansion." Luo Feng gently tugged on He Lanci's sleeves and motioned to move forward.
"A wealthy family even knows how to wear red and green, let alone the emperor's family who is the most powerful person in the world."
"I see, you are sour, the inner courtyard of the palace can It's not as safe and comfortable as you thought. There are too many troubles."
He Lanci hesitated: "I'm not a prince, so I can only listen to you."
"Just because you said this in front of me, the others would have been dragged out and executed."
He Lanci was about to quarrel in response, but Luo Feng reached out and covered He Lanci's mouth. He whispered in his ear.
"Someone is coming.
”
He Lan Yun’s voice and shadow appeared in the sight of the two of them. He walked lightly to the rockery and pressed a protrusion. The water surface was divided into two, and then He Lan Yun disappeared into it. The water surface closed and everything was as before.
Luo Feng and He Lanci looked at each other.
"Brother He, is this?" "
He Lanci took away Luo Feng's hand covering his mouth and said.
"It should be the mechanism technique. "
"Is it the same as a chain lock? "
"That's just a plaything. He Lanci pointed at the rockery and said, "This is the real owner." ”
“Let’s go down and have a look.” "Luo Feng gestured to press the trigger.
"Your Highness, wait a minute. " He Lanci interrupted Luo Feng and pouted at his feet.
There were several withered and yellow branches scattered on the ground.
"Brother He, what's weird about this. "In normal times, Luo Feng would have sang the opposite tune, but he knew He Lanci's gentle and cautious nature, so he stopped what he was doing.
"In the cold winter months, why are there withered and yellow trees in the courtyard? Branches? ”
“Perhaps it was not cleaned when the vegetation was withered, or perhaps the servants did not pay attention.
He Lanci thought for a while and said: "It's just ordinary people, but the servants of the third prince's mansion clean it every day, and every time they clean it, they are meticulous. Why don't they clean it without paying attention to it?" ? "After saying that, He Lanci picked up the branch and gently twisted it, smelled it, and finally took off a small piece the size of a fingernail and put it into his mouth.
Luo Feng was surprised by He Lanci's boldness and did not When he spoke to remind He Lanci, He Lanci opened his lips slightly and spit out the stem.
"Your Highness, this is Longsha grass. He Lanci looked at Luo Feng's doubtful eyes and then said: "It was transplanted from the Western Region. It is warm in nature, pungent and slightly bitter, and is mostly used for people with weak bodies." ”
“But the third brother has been physically strong since he was a child. After he got married and took concubines as an adult, how could he be weak with his children around his knees?” "
"Your Highness doesn't know. Apart from using it for physical weakness, it can also..."
"Say. "
"It can also make people who take this drug addicted and have hallucinations. ”
“Brother He, even if this is the case, this has nothing to do with my third brother. "
"Your Highness, I probably understand the details of this. You will know if you go to the secret room of this agency. ”

“Puch!”, accompanied by the sound of candles exploding, the surroundings suddenly became brighter.
Luo Feng and He Lanci’s eyes slowly Slowly adapting to the light, a spacious house appeared in front of them. It had tall beams and was elegantly decorated. It was more appropriately called a palace than a mansion.
It was so deep and wide that it was impossible to see even with the faint candlelight. There was only one aisle to go forward and backward. He Lanci had no choice but to let Luo Feng hold hands and walk forward together
Hand in hand. At the end, the figure of the third prince became more and more clear in the sight of the two. He was extremely tall, wearing a golden straight-fronted robe that drape extremely well, with a wide belt with an emperor's dragon pattern around his waist. There was a piece of dark and transparent ink jade, which looked like a green mountain but was elegantly swaying. The black hair was tied under the imperial crown with a gold ribbon. A few strands of hair were blown away by the wind and intertwined with the gold ribbon. It was flying, looking quite light.
"The third brother's outfit is so cool," Luo Feng said sarcastically.
He Lanci turned to him and said angrily. "The third prince is dressing up like this to plot rebellion, why don't you care, Your Highness! "
After saying that, he ran to the third prince, and He Lanci's heart calmed down slightly. The third prince turned his back to him and did not make any reaction. The underground hall was as quiet as water, making Helan Ci Ci's footsteps were particularly harsh.
The next moment, he smelled a strange fragrance. It was strong and elegant, much like overburned Yuelin incense, and it also smelled of herbs. He Lanci was shocked. , He seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere.
Longsha grass!
He shouted again: "Luo Feng!" Cover your nose! "He felt relieved after shouting, but he didn't notice that the eldest prince didn't respond to him.
He Lanci rushed towards the third prince Luoyang. The smell really came from him, except for the smell that was floating around him. The aroma of Yue Linxiang attracted his attention. When he unbuttoned it, he saw that it was Longshacao.
Under the weak candlelight, he could see that Luoyang's eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of his mouth were white. He Lanci picked up his body and dragged him out into the corridor. Only then did He Lanci dare to take a big breath of air and look around. After checking his pulse, it was confirmed that he was alive. But Luo Feng, who was waiting here, disappeared.
"Brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. "He Lan Yun, who was wearing a black narrow-sleeved python robe, walked out of the shadows with Luo Feng, who was dying.
He Lan Ci looked at the gold-threaded auspicious clouds embroidered on his cuffs and said sternly: "I don't think it's three. A prince is quite an emperor, so it’s you. ”
“Yes, when I came back from alchemy, I originally wanted to pursue a great career with my brother, but you are so clear that I have hinted to you many times, but you objected and ignored me. I can only find my own way..."
He Lanci held down his violently beating chest and tried to calm himself down. Looking at the gray and lifeless look on Luo Feng's face, confusion filled his heart. The clouds gradually became clearer.
Then he stretched out his hand to interrupt He Lanyun's tirade.
"Did you manipulate Luo Feng and lead me here to get rid of me? Lan Yun! It's too late to turn back now!" He Lanci paused briefly, and when Lan Yun didn't respond, he Then he said: "The combined aroma of Yue Linxiang and Longshacao will cause people to hallucinate, and removing the hallucinations will make people addicted! And this alchemy is a trick to deceive the inner courtyard of the palace. In this elixir, you The addictive Longshacao is added together with the fragrance of Yuelin Incense and Longshacao, so that the two highnesses cannot live without the elixir, and you, no matter who the two highnesses are in the future. Everyone who becomes the emperor is your puppet."
He Lanyun looked slightly shocked, and then said lightly: "So what, the two of them can't live without the pill now, even if you say it. Even the sky can't stop it." He Lanyun put down Luo Feng, pulled out the sword hanging from her waist, and asked, "Brother, how about you and I joining hands?"
"Impossible. There have never been any rebels in our He family. If you want to rebel, just step over your brother's body first!"
He Lanyun doesn't care, now in his eyes, brothers and sisters are respected. As he became a burden, he said slowly and expressionlessly: "It's better to leave without seeing you off."
As soon as the sword was released, He Lanyun was hit on the back. She turned around and chopped, but she didn't expect The one who attacked him was Luo Feng, who was supposed to be unconscious.
The trembling Luo Feng used all his strength to attract He Lanyun's attention. However, the ice blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown he was wearing had several more tears, and blood flowed from it. Slowly seeping out from the crack.
"You are not allowed to touch him." Luo Feng's short words drained all the strength from his body and he collapsed.
"How can you wake up?" He Lanyun raised her sword and placed it between him and Luo Feng.
Luo Feng showed the tip of his bloody tongue and raised his jade sign. "I have used mechanism skills to notify the outside. The large team of people will be here in an instant. If you leave now, I will hide the matter and not pursue it."
The matter has been exposed, and this choice does not count for He Lanyun. It's difficult, even if Luo Feng is killed now, he can't be the emperor. After a few breaths, he made a choice, put away the sword and said: "I will take it from the Luo family dynasty later." and ran away.
"What is this?" He Lanci said, looking at Lan Yun's back.
"Brother He, you have a talented person in the He family. If Lan Yun's body and mind were to be transferred to you, I'm afraid that a noble prince like me wouldn't be able to pass your test."
He Lanci ignored Luo Feng's teasing, lifted Luo Feng up and carried him behind his back. < /p>
He Lanci laughed, carried Luo Feng on his back and walked towards the exit.
"What should I do with my third brother?"
"He can't die. Let's go up first and send someone down to carry him back later."
"Let's go. I'm going home."

He Lanci looked outside the curtain and saw the swaying waves in the sunset. The small boat they were riding in was hovering in the middle of the lake. Looking into the distance, they saw numerous mountains and faint shadows of distant mountains.
"You haven't believed this Lan Yun yet?" A voice came from inside the curtain,
He Lanci shook his head, looking at the dense water plants under the clear lake, not knowing how to answer .
"That's okay."
Luo Feng got out of the tent and looked at the lake with He Lanci. Suddenly, water splashed towards He Lanci.
Naturally, He Lanci couldn't bear to be bullied, so he used his hand as a scoop to fight back at Luo Feng.
On the top of the mountain, a man in a half-worn gray cloth robe stared at the boat.
Under the black head, it is Helan Yun.
