Li Yu should have safely evacuated Wanshou Palace, and He Linwan really had no need to stay here.

He Linwan hurriedly said, "I'll leave now." ”

Ning Yi raised his chin nobly and coldly, and motioned for He Lin to roll a little later.

He Linwan looked left and right, but said: "Lord Ning, this palace in the middle of the night is really panicking, where are you going next?

"How you came, how you go. ”

He Linwan sighed, "I was lucky not to meet anyone when I came, just now you said that there are guards patrolling, what if I hit it?"

Ning Yi said: "I hit a natural dead end." ”

He Linwan smiled slyly, "But I don't want to die, I'm also afraid of pain, if I am caught, I accidentally confess Lord Ning under torture, how can it be good?"

Ning Yi sneered: "I see that you don't want to die, but you are impatient to live." ”

He Linwan sighed, "No kidding, I have something to tell you, let's go along." ”

Ning Yi glanced at He Linwan noncommittally, turned around and left.

He Linwan knew his arrogant temperament very well, and when this was a tacit acquiescence, he quickly followed.

Ning Yi was very familiar with the patrol in the palace, and the two of them walked in the palace in the middle of the night without hurrying, and they did not encounter a single figure, although this palace was full of dangers, but He Linwan felt a calm mood that had not been seen for a long time.

When Ning Yi was still Ye Yining, although he was often complained by the people of the Yang family that he had a strange personality and was not easy to get along with, Yang Weizhen always knew that Ning Yi was actually a gentle person. It's like a hedgehog, although the whole body is full of thorns, but those thorns are all outside, and he will only expose his soft belly to people close to him, very tolerant, and has a good temper.

The two didn't speak all the way, and Ning Yi didn't stop until they were about to reach the Wenzhen Palace, and looked back at He Linwan with a frown.

He Linwan was helpless, but unfortunately now that she has become an outsider, she can only tolerate his eccentric temper.

"I heard that the Duke of Huyang is going to make peace, what will happen to the Gu on your body when the time comes?"

Ning Yi didn't want to answer, but when he looked at He Linwan's eyes, he still said a little coldly: "The princess wants me to marry her." ”

He Linwan subconsciously mocked: "What about her dreams...... I mean, you're a deputy of the prison department, how can you marry with her? ”

Ning Yi looked at He Linwan and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly: "I chose her at the beginning, and everything has a price." ”

He Linwan was very angry, although it was Ning Yi who took advantage of Princess Huyang first, but "relieving the king's worries" did not do any harm to the people who took the mother Gu, otherwise it would not have become a sharp weapon for the royal family of the previous dynasty to control the dead.

What's more, even if Ning Yi is wrong, He Linwan will not help his relatives.

After thinking about it, He Linwan said to Ning Yi, "I will find a way to help you solve the Gu." ”

Ning Yi said indifferently: "No one has untied this Gu for many years, what can you do." Don't bother. ”

He Linwan didn't argue with Ning Yi, and it was useless to say this now, but she didn't give up helping Ning Yi solve the Gu.

Ning Yi announced the end of the conversation without authorization, and said to He Linwan: "Don't come out at night in the future, I won't help you again if you meet in the future." And the other one, tell him that I have repaid his favor, and don't commit it to me, and I will not have the mercy to tell him when the time comes. ”

He Linwan still wanted to talk to Ning Yi, but Ning Yi turned around and left after letting go of the cruel words, not giving He Linwan a chance to stay.

He Linwan watched his back disappear into the shadows of the palace and sighed.

At this time, the emperor's bedroom, located on the central axis of the entire palace, has not turned off the lights at this time.

Emperor Tiancheng sat on the couch in his regular clothes, playing against himself, and the sunspot on the chessboard surrounded and suppressed the white dragon with the momentum of slaying the dragon, and the victory or defeat looked clear at a glance, but Emperor Tiancheng had to think carefully about every time he fell.

When Mu Zhizhen came in, he was just about to salute, but Emperor Tiancheng had already waved his hand and pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit, accompany me to finish this game." ”

Mu Zhizhen: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

After Mu Zhizhen sat down, he glanced at the chessboard, but found that the chess jar on his side was a dominant sunspot, and the Tiancheng Emperor on the opposite side was holding white characters.

"Sunspot Slaying Dragon" If ordinary people were faced with such a situation, they would definitely think that the emperor was mocking him for rebellion, and he would have been so frightened that he knelt down to ask for guilt, but Mu Zhizhen only paused slightly, and calmly picked up a sunspot and landed on the chessboard.

Emperor Tiancheng glanced at the chessboard and asked, "I heard that you led people to surround the Wanshou Palace?"

Mu Zhizhen replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Tiancheng picked up a white seed, "Oh, what did you find?"

Mu Zhi was really about to reply, but at this time, Kou Xian, the prison division who was left behind, came in, saluted and stood quietly aside.

Mu Zhizhen presented the box containing the token, "The minister suspects that Li Yu's people want to go to the Wanshou Palace to get something, so he took people to ambush him." ”

Emperor Tiancheng raised his eyes, "You said that Li Yu entered the palace, what about the others?"

Mu Zhizhen bowed his head and said: "The minister didn't see anyone, he only found this, the minister was stupid, and he may have fallen into Li Yu's trap." ”

Emperor Tiancheng took the box noncommittally, opened it and looked at it, and his expression froze.

"It's ......"

Mu Zhizhen said: "It is the token left by the old Jin King." ”

Emperor Tiancheng recognized this token, in the fire when the King of Jin was still alive, when he was still a disfavored prince who followed the King of Jin, he had seen the King of Jin use this token to order his subordinates.

Emperor Tiancheng took out the token with some urgency, flipped through it and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but rub it.

"It's exactly the same as that token, and it's said to command the shadows. ”

The power left by King Jin has always been a heart disease of Emperor Tiancheng, and this heart disease has kept him awake at night over the years.

In fact, it is said that it is the King of Jin's own dark department, it is better to say that the first emperor handed over the elite of the court to the King of Jin, and then after the cultivation of the King of Jin, this part of the power has been strengthened.

These forces should have been handed over to the new king after the death of the king of Jin and the first king, but it is a pity that they ......

Mu Zhizhen glanced at Emperor Tiancheng, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this token may be an imitation." ”

Emperor Tiancheng came back to his senses, his expression was slightly gloomy, "Imitation?"

Mu Zhizhen told the story of the spontaneous combustion of the paper that he found this token and then sandwiched it in, and he didn't hide anything. With Kou Xian intervening, he couldn't hide it.

Emperor Tiancheng's gaze became deeper and deeper as he narrated. After listening, Emperor Tiancheng turned his head to look at Kou Xian who was standing aside.

Kou Xian glanced at Mu Zhizhen and replied: "Your Majesty, when the slave maid went in, he only saw that Lord Mu seemed to be burning something in his hand, and when the slave and maid approached, only ashes remained, so the slave and maid did not witness the list, nor did they see the process of its spontaneous combustion. ”

Mu Zhizhen sighed in his heart.
