Before I opened the door, I was somewhat mentally prepared. After all, returning to the palace is a big deal for me. Besides, when I left four years ago, many things were not finished, and many things also happened in these four years. I wanted to meet some people, and some people must want to meet me.
However, when I really opened the door and saw the tall and thin figure at the door, facing the young face that showed a bit of evil spirit against the white hair, and the dark eyes that were almost invisible, I still trembled for a moment.
No desire to speak?
Just as I widened my eyes and looked at him in shock, the old Taoist priest had already shaken the whisk in his hand and saluted me: "Amitabha Buddha."
"Master, is it you?"
"Miss Yan, I bow my head."
“…”
I was a little confused for a moment, watching his snow-white hair fluttering in the wind, almost blending with the snow scene around him, and his pale face was more like a illusion of snow, making it difficult to tell whether he was a human or a demon.
After a while of silence, I still smiled and nodded: "Master, don't be fine."
"It's OK."
As he said, I took a step back and let him into the room.
Yan Wuyu walked into the room with a cold air. When he walked past me, I even felt a cool breeze blowing through my eyes. When I reached out to close the door and turned around, I saw him standing in the middle of the room, looking at me with a smile, and his smile seemed to have a different meaning.
I immediately came to my senses. Four years ago, on this day, I was defeated by Nangong Lizhu at the New Year banquet and threw me into the prison. He and Qinghan rescued me in the wind and snow.
In a blink of an eye, everything became a memory that was buried in the years.
Qinghan has forgotten all the time, and the people who knew that past were silent, as if they had never happened, but only him, who was standing in front of me, as if the person who came out of the ashes of time told me that everything actually existed.
I calmed down and walked slowly over: "Although so long has passed, I still want to thank the Taoist Master, thank you for your life-saving grace."
After saying that, I bowed to him to the ground.
He was not polite, just took my bow like this, and then said with a smile: "Miss Yan's bow is afraid that my years of practice will end."
"Why did the Taoist priest say that?"
"It's a blessing."
I saw the corners of his eyes curled, but the flashing light in his eyes didn't seem to be a joke and teasing incident. He was a little stunned for a moment, but the next moment, he turned the topic away, turned his head to look at An An An quietly sitting aside, holding the stove in a daze, and whispered: "Little Princess."
Before I could answer, he had slowly walked over.
Although he was very thin, he was very tall. When he walked to Miaoyan, there was an indescribable light in his eyes. He looked at the child quietly for a long time, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then, he slowly raised his hand.
He first clasped his fists, as if he was about to warm up his palms and fingers. When he spread his palms, I watched his fingertips turn slightly red, then gently rubbed the top of Miaoyan's head and whispered: "Infinite light, infinite life, infinite blessings."
I stood aside, waited for him to finish speaking, and said softly: "Thank you."
He just smiled at me.
Then, I looked around at my room. It was not gorgeous, but it was not poor. It was a comfortable residence, and there was no clue. After seeing it, he looked at me with a smile: "Tonight, the hall is full of peace, why did Miss Yan live alone with the little princess?"
I just said lightly: "This is quiet."
"Is it because of the little princess' disease?"
"It's for myself."
Speaking of which, I don’t want to see who is too arrogant. Besides, I haven’t forgotten that I left the palace four years ago as a "fugitive". Pei Yuanhao didn’t let me enter the palace publicly this time because this incident is difficult to show the world. If it is really caused by the concubines and civil and military ministers in the harem, it will be another unexplainable case and I will be too lazy to have trouble.
Yan Wuyu smiled and nodded: "That's right, this snowy night, I can come and ask for a cup of hot tea."
I raised my hand and said, "I can't ask for it. Taoist priest please sit down."
He waved the whisk in his hand and sat on the table opposite me. I poured him a cup of hot tea, gently placed it in front of him, and watched him take a sip.
The room was very quiet.
I wouldn't think he came over to ask for a cup of hot tea when he was snowy and cold at night. This person's appearance was never aimless. Since he came to knock on my door this time, he must have something to tell me, and just so I also have many questions to ask him.
After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Yan has traveled around the world in the years since she left, and has visited many places and met many people."
"fine."
"I heard that I went back to Xichuan?"
"The tired bird returns to the forest at dusk."
"What did you do when you go back to Xichuan?"
"All wars will bring you old friends," I said, looking at him and continued, "I also found some old things."
"Oh? What old thing?"
"To be honest, it's probably something the Taoist priest has been asking about before."
His face was slightly stunned.
Although it was just a flash of silence, and the next moment he had returned to his calmness, I still saw from his flashing gaze that he might not be as calm as the expression on his face at this moment. I had already taken out a piece of stuffed with silk squid from my arms and gently placed it on the table.
Yan Wugui's eyes immediately stared at the thing. Although his hand holding the whisk did not move, he could see the sliding marks of the joints on the back of his hand.
I said, "But before opening it, I want to ask the Priest something."
"Excuse me."
"The Taoist priest once asked Qinghan if he had ever seen a jade token on me, how did the Taoist priest know the existence of that jade token? Who told you?"
Yan Wuyu looked at me. After a while, he smiled and said, "I think Miss Yan seems to know the answer."
"The guess is always needed to prove it."
“…”
He smiled faintly, and when he looked at the thing on the table, his smile seemed to be half taken away by something, slowly retracted. After a long silence, he slowly said: "If I were me, such a thing was originally me, we proposed to cast it, do Miss Yan believe it?"
My heart suddenly jumped.
