Yun Luan pursed her lips and smiled: "The risk is a bit risky, but I can't just watch an innocent life die in front of my eyes."

"Ayan, I can't be as cold-blooded as Zong Lin."

Xiao Tingyan patted her shoulder gently and laughed in a low voice: "Well, my Aluan is a very kind girl. No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you and I will always be your strongest support. "

Yun Luan leaned into his arms, raised her hands and hugged his waist tightly.

In this environment surrounded by dragons, it was rare for her to have this moment of relaxation.

It seems that as long as he is around, no matter how great the dangers and difficulties are, they become insignificant.

Just as the two people hugged each other, the door suddenly opened.

Zhou Qingyan looked at the two men hugging each other at the door with great surprise.

She looked at them blankly with a look of disbelief on her face.

"You... you..."

Yun Luan immediately pushed Xiao Tingyan away. She was very embarrassed and coughed a few times in a low voice.

"I just felt a little dizzy... Miss Zhou, don't get me wrong."

Zhou Qingyan's heart slowly stirred up an undercurrent.

She couldn't calm down her emotions for a long time.

It turns out that Mr. Luan doesn’t like women, but prefers men?

She felt lost for a moment, and finally realized that there was no chance that she and Mr. Luan would have any chance in this life.

She clenched her fists tightly and slowly lowered her head.

Then, she knelt down in front of Yun Luan.

Yun Luan raised her eyebrows and quickly leaned over to help Zhou Qingyan: "Miss Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Qingyan avoided Yun Luan's support, pressed her forehead tightly to the ground, and kowtowed hard.

"Mr. Luan, thank you for saving Xiaomu. I can't repay you for your great kindness to Xiaomu. In the future, whenever you are useful to me, you only need to say a word, and I will be willing to obey and be loyal to you." .”

It was also at this moment that she gradually realized that Mr. Luan was not a simple person.

The fact that she was able to save Xiaomu without anyone noticing in the Guozhang's Mansion, under Zong Lin's nose, is enough to show how capable Mr. Luan is.

Rather than letting her be loyal to a demon and suffer a bad end, she would rather follow Mr. Luan and help her achieve her wish.

Firstly, she is Xiaomu's savior, and secondly, she has a secret affection for Mr. Luan.

These two reasons alone were enough for her to make a quick choice.

Zhou Qingyan kowtowed to Yun Luan three times before she was willing to get up from the ground.

Yun Luan actually didn't want to take advantage of Xiao Mu, but took advantage of Zhou Qingyan.

But Zhou Qingyan surrendered willingly...

She looked at the tenacity and determination shining in Zhou Qingyan's eyes, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

"Miss Zhou, I hope you can participate in the draft without any distractions in the future. I don't want you to do anything. You just need to follow the arrangements of the father-in-law. When necessary, I will tell you how to make a comeback."

Zhou Qingyan pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

Then, she entered the house again and took a look at Xiaomu.

She raised her hand and gently arranged Xiaomu's hair: "You can go out and recuperate in peace. One day, the two of us will meet again."

Xiaomu's tears spread all over his face.

She held Zhou Qingyan's hand tightly: "Girl, please be safe... I will be outside, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue every day, praying for you. I will wait for you to come back, and wait for you to be free. One day.”

Zhou Qingyan nodded. She didn't know if such a day would come, but she had to give Xiaomu hope.

She hugged Xiaomu again: "There will be a day, Xiaomu, wait for me."

"For the last time, I want to hear you call me sister. Are you willing?"

Xiaomu's nose was so sore that she choked and cried: "Sister...sister."

"Sister, you must reunite with me safely, you promise me."

Zhou Qingyan took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from Xiaomu's face.

"Yes, we will definitely reunite."

She didn't linger any longer, stuffed the handkerchief on Xiaomu's body, stood up suddenly, and walked outside without any hesitation.

Xiaomu was crying so hard that she was out of breath, and looked at him with tearful eyes. Zhou Qingyan's figure disappeared from her sight.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Tingyan ordered the Black Feather Guards to successfully send Xiaomu out of the Guozhang's Mansion.

Zhou Qingyan watched from the side, her heart completely dropped.

In the next few days, she rested at home recovering from her injuries.

No matter how many slaves Xiao Wen sent over to humiliate and embarrass her, she never remained silent, focusing on recovering from her injuries and learning palace etiquette from the etiquette nun.

It was as if she had completely changed as a person.

He was very obedient and never dared to have other thoughts.

Zong Lin was very satisfied with this.

Xiao Guozhang looked at Zhou Qingyan's changes, and he felt very gratified and happy.

Three days later, Zhou Qingyan was sent to the palace to participate in the draft.

There is no doubt that she was given the name and officially became a concubine in the palace. She was granted residence in Guangyue Palace and was named Zhou Concubine.

Because it was the abbot who sent her to the palace, it was impossible for the emperor not to give the Xiao family this face, so as soon as Zhou Qingyan entered the palace, the title given to her was very high.

It can be said that she is the concubine with the highest status among these beautiful women.

Under the arrangement of Emperor Liang Yu, Chu Ling, who successfully entered the palace, concealed her pregnancy, was successfully selected, and was named a nobleman.

When Chu Ling appeared in front of the emperor, the emperor stared at her face for a long time.

He looked a little dazed and couldn't take his eyes away from her face for a long time.

He even stood up a little awkwardly and took a few steps towards Chu Ling: "Ajun...are you back?"

Chu Ling lowered her eyebrows and bowed respectfully.

"I am from Ling County, Zhang Yun, the daughter of County Magistrate Zhang Xian, has met Your Majesty."

The emperor stopped and suddenly came to his senses.

He frowned and looked at Chu Ling: "Your name is Zhang Jun?"

"That Jun?"

Chu Ling was neither humble nor arrogant. She slowly raised her head to look at the emperor with dignity and grace, showing a shy smile: "Yun has a heart as gentle as a gentleman, and he is self-sufficient in his cold demeanor."

The emperor's heart trembled slightly.

He couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Jun's heart is like a gentleman, and he keeps his posture in the cold years..."

It seemed as if someone had once read this poem while looking at him shyly.

Suddenly, memories that he thought had been forgotten for many years swept towards him like an overwhelming ocean.

He unconsciously held Chu Ling's hand.

Hold tightly.

He clearly remembered that on the day of his wedding to the late empress, he also asked her which word "jun" was in her name. At that time, she also read the poem "Jun's heart is like a gentleman's, and he maintains his posture in the cold years."

But she said that her character Jun is Wang plus Jun. It is not Jun of bamboo... The meaning of Wang Zijun is to describe a kind of beautiful jade... A gentleman is like Heng, Yu Yi shines brightly, Jun Jing is like Ye, Wen Huaruo Brocade!

At that time, her eyes seemed to be shining, with dazzling and charming ripples. They were in a political marriage. He thought that he hated her, but it was not until Meng Jun died that he realized that this disgust had long been unknown to her. Unconsciously mixed with affection.

And he seemed to never forget the scene of him lifting her red hijab and asking her name on their wedding day.
