The twists and turns of Nanyuan Meimei finally came to an end in a staggered process, why Luo Lingjun fell into the water and was left behind, what is the inside story of the dead bones in the lake is not worthy of everyone's concern, the world is difficult, unless it is related to their own vital interests, no one wants to provoke more rights and wrongs, and Luo Shunhua can't wait for everyone to forget about today's turmoil.

Seeing that it has reached the end of the first month, there are already many magnates who have come to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, in addition to the royal family, Luo Shunhua, a nobleman from other countries, can not be lazy, in the afternoon, there are more than ten tables in the lobby on the first floor of Ningxiang Building, the lights are brilliant and lively, Luo Shunhua smiled and changed the cup with everyone, as if he was not affected by the waves of the day.

Above the main table, it is naturally the position of the princes and royal families.

The royal family is noble, and they are separate, except for Song Qi and Yan Wei, who have been in frequent contact for a long time, the rest of the people did not know each other before, and now they see each other for the first time, although they have heard of each other for a long time, but they are all self-conscious for a while and cannot let go, compared to the excitement elsewhere, the main table is much quieter.

The only person who was at ease was Jun Yan, who was drinking by himself, and suddenly raised his glass to Shang Jue opposite, "I haven't congratulated the prince on winning the Nine Cities yet, in this way, Yan Guo is the largest marquis of Dayin, and I should really congratulate you." ”

Sitting next to Shang Jue in the morning and evening, his brows furrowed when he heard this.

Shang Jue raised his eyes and glanced at Jun Yan, he was not annoyed by these deliberately provocative words, he only picked up the teacup and smiled, "Lonely don't drink, I have my mind." As he spoke, he took a sip of the refreshing tea soup.

- Don't drink alcohol?!

Jun Yan narrowed his eyes, but drank it all freely, glanced at Jiang Yao and said, "Yan Guo's movements on the Jin-Zhao border this time are not small, Jun is really a little curious, what will the court think of what the prince has done?"

Shang Jue's expression was calm, "There have always been conquests between the Hou States, and the Yan Kingdom is loyal to Dayin, so naturally it is not ashamed, as for how the imperial court views it, it is a matter of His Majesty, as a courtier, how can he speculate about the holy will?"

Jun Yan pursed his lips, not agreeing much, but he didn't dwell too much, his eyes swept and looked at the day and night beside him, and the interest in his eyes flashed, "The eldest prince and the princess are about to have a good thing, but I don't know when the prince and the second princess will have good news? Jun has not been to Yan Country yet, if the prince and the princess get married, Jun must go to join in the fun." ”

These words are not only Jun Yan cared, everyone present was a little curious, pampering is one thing, but it is another thing to really get married and sit in the position of the lady of the prince, after all, this second princess of Shu has also followed another man.

Hearing this, the corners of Shang Jue's lips raised slightly, raised his hand to hold Chaoxi, and said lightly, "After the end of this sword trial conference, Gu will ask the court to discuss marriage, and then it will naturally be announced to the world, and you will be invited to watch the ceremony at that time." ”

His voice was not big or small, just enough for the entire hall to be heard, Jun Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at the calm morning and evening sitting next to Shang Jue, and swallowed the next words, "In that case, congratulations to the prince and the princess in advance." ”

Shang Jue smiled and glanced at Chaoxi.

Chaoxi's eyes were covered with ribbons, and he still looked blind, Shang Jue was very proper to cloth vegetables for him, his demeanor was gentle and soft, and he did not shy away from others at all, the people at the main table looked at it, and the people at the rest of the table also included these in their eyes, and couldn't help affirming the rumors that Yan Shizi really wanted to marry this princess of Shu who had a rough background.

Although the identity of this Feng Chaoxi has not yet been recognized by the royal family, how can the person Yan Shizi want to marry be an ordinary woman with no identity, thinking of the current internal affairs of Shu Kingdom, many people showed an interested look.

"The ...... of the Eldest Prince"

The night banquet was in full swing, and suddenly a little boy walked in from outside, walked straight to Jiang Yao's side and said something in his ear, Jiang Yao's thin smile faded, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Got it." ”

The boy hesitated for a moment, "That person ......"

The corners of Jiang Yao's lips sank, "Let him go back." ”

The boy hesitated for a moment, nodded and turned around and walked out.

Who can make the elegant and virtuous Grand Prince of Qi frown?

The curiosity of everyone present was two, but because it was just a small episode, they forgot it in a blink of an eye, Luo Shunhua greeted him elsewhere and returned to the main table, and it was a high-sounding persuasion, but everyone present was extraordinary, and the women did not drink, except for Shang Jue, everyone else just meant.

Luo Shunhua didn't persuade him anymore, just sat down and chatted with a few people, and talked about the selection of beauties to enter Hojing this year, Jiang Yao said, "The high-ranking candidates in this selection must still be ladies from noble backgrounds, as for the commoners, I am afraid that they will also enter the palace as miscellaneous servants, in the end, they will be royal families, and they will not favor low-status women for no reason." ”

Qi and the royal family are related, in the twelve princely states always have a sense of superiority, what he said emphasized the status level, everyone present is not low, no one refutes for a while, but he doesn't like the feeling that Qi country prides itself on being the emperor, Jiang Yao finished speaking, no one answered, Luo Shunhua laughed, "What the eldest prince said is that the royal family has never pampered the examples of commoners and slaves, and there are many beauties sent to Hojing everywhere this time, presumably His Majesty will have a satisfactory candidate." ”

When Luo Shunhua spoke, there was a dark glow of eagerness in his eyes, except for Shang Jue and Chaoxi, everyone else felt that something was wrong, Jun Yan played with the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile, " If you can get the favor of Your Majesty, it is really a great merit, I heard that Your Majesty has been the most favored in the past two months, Mrs. Yu, who has been sent by the country the most, no, the taxes of the country have been exempted for nearly three years, and the taxes exempted are enough to form an army on behalf of the country, but we are going to suffer, the taxes collected by the empire have only increased much, and the money that has been exempted is not shared by the rest of us, and the poor land of mountains and rivers is really ......."

Jun Yan seemed to sigh, and everyone else at the table fell silent, they naturally knew what Jun Yan said, except for Qi State, which can be a little easier, the other vassal states must be prepared for it, Jiang Yao's face was calm, but Song Xie Yi was a little worried, Song Guo already owed foreign debts, if the taxes were increased, they would ...... Jiang Yao found out Song Jieyu's worries and patted her hand comfortingly.

Song Jieyu's frowning brows were loosened at this time, with the Qi Kingdom here, the Song Kingdom might be able to avoid a catastrophe.

The affairs of the royal family are not easy to discuss, except for Jun Yan, who has always liked amazing words, everyone else is still a little jealous, for a while, everyone stopped talking, after three rounds of drinking, people left one after another during the banquet, Shang Jue knew that he didn't love these occasions, and immediately took her back to the snow courtyard, as soon as they left, everyone else dispersed in twos and threes......

The snow on the ground has not melted, the eyes are covered with ribbons, Shang Jue walked very slowly with her, and people kept overtaking them and walked in front, and it didn't take long for them to fall at the end, and they were not in a hurry, Shang Jue simply took the morning and evening to walk the most stable but somewhat winding road, the night was dark, but Shang Jue's mood seemed to be excellent.

·

Seeing off the last guest, the smile on Luo Shunhua's face immediately faded, Mo Dongting walked out from the side, followed Luo Shunhua in the direction of the study, and walked Luo Shunhua while asking, "How is it?"

Mo Dongting said in a cold voice, "After careful investigation, it is still the same as the conclusion reached in the afternoon, it was cut off by a sword in the chest and died, and now the person is dead, only bones are left, basically no other information can be found, the only thing that is certain is that the person who killed Sun Wei used an extremely powerful weapon." ”

Luo Shunhua frowned, "What about the murderer?"

Mo Dongting shook his head, "That murderer may be a person with strong martial arts, or maybe he is just very good at using swords, there were too many such people in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion four years ago, and there is really no direction, Hou Ye, did Sun Wei have a grudge against anyone back then?"

Luo Shunhua squinted his eyes for a moment and shook his head, "No." ”

Mo Dongting sighed, "If that's the case, this is almost a headless case." ”

Luo Shunhua's face was very cold, and he asked again, "What about Xiuniang, is there any connection between the deaths of these two people?"

Mo Dongting pursed his lips, "Master Hou, it's very likely to be a person." ”

Luo Shunhua paused, and suddenly turned around, "What did you say?"

Mo Dongting pursed his lips, looked back again, and then said, "Xiuniang's bones were found by his subordinates this afternoon, and after comparing the two, it was found that the traces of the bones of the two were very similar, and it could be concluded that they were cut out with a weapon, in addition, the murderer's habits and strength must be the same to make the fracture the same, so the possibility that the murderer is a person is very high, if it is not a person, it is too much of a coincidence, this possibility is very small." ”

Luo Shunhua suddenly sweated like rain, thinking that a murderer who quietly killed people in his mansion four years ago had killed people with the same cruel method a few days ago, even he instantly shuddered, Luo Shunhua clenched his teeth, "This matter, you must not let other people know, bury Xiuniang's body and Sun Wei's bones!"

The weather was too cold, and Xiu Niang's body had not yet begun to decompose, but Xiu Niang had died too miserably, and she had been dead for so many days, you can imagine how terrible the situation was, hearing this, Mo Dongting nodded very neatly.

Luo Shunhua strode towards the direction of the study, just walked a few steps, and suddenly changed the direction of his feet, and said, "Jun'er fell into the water in the afternoon, and she is still asleep at this time, go and see her first, she must not have an accident." ”

Mo Dongting's eyes flashed, so he had to follow.

When they arrived at Luo Lingjun's courtyard, the lights were still on in the house, and the Zhu family and the house doctor had been staying here, Luo Shunhua had a little worry on his face, and asked anxiously when he entered the door, "How is Jun'er?"

He walked straight to the inner room, Zhu Shi saw that his complexion was only two points satisfied, and his tone was slightly softer, "I'm still asleep, my body is hot, I woke up twice just now, but people are not very awake, the house doctor said that it will be good to survive tonight, and now everything is being used, I just don't know if Jun'er can ...... it."

Zhu Shi choked up for a while as he spoke, Luo Shunhua frowned, turned his head to the house doctor standing behind the screen in the outer room, and said, "If you can't cure the second miss, don't want to live, if you are cured, I will reward you with a thousand gold!"

The house doctor outside knelt on the ground with a "poof", and responded with a "yes".

Zhu didn't expect Luo Shunhua to do this, but he felt very appropriate in his heart, looked at the sky outside and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, the concubine will guard Jun'er here, there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the house, Master Hou will go and get busy first." ”

Zhu also wanted to see if Luo Shunhua would also stay here, but Luo Shunhua just stepped forward to look at Luo Lingjun, who was flushed and sweating, and walked out of the house, Zhu was a little disappointed, but felt that Luo Shunhua had already calculated it today, so he sent him all the way to the door, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Mo Dongting guarding outside.

The corners of Zhu's lips sank, "Guard Mo?!"

Mo Dongting bent over and saluted with a cold expression, "Madam." ”

The Zhu family was very angry with Mo Dongting in his heart, but he couldn't express it, seeing Luo Shunhua looking at her strangely, the Zhu family could only say, "The mansion is not peaceful, and the Mo guards have to have more snacks these days." ”

Mo Dongting nodded hurriedly, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Luo Shunhua hurriedly went to the study, and left with Mo Dongting without waiting for the two to say more.

Zhu stood at the door for a while, and when he entered the house, he saw Luo Lingjun waking up with her eyes open, Zhu hurriedly leaned over and grabbed her hand, "Jun'er, how are you?"

Luo Lingjun coughed lightly twice and asked, "Who came just now?"

Zhu's eyes flashed, "Your father has come to see you." ”

Luo Lingjun said "Ao", with a sad expression, Zhu thought about it and said, "That Mo Dongting is also here." ”

Luo Lingjun raised her eyebrows, and immediately looked at Zhu fixedly, Zhu grabbed her hand, Luo Lingjun, who was in pain, frowned and didn't let go, only to hear Zhu say viciously, "Jun'er, do you want revenge and want to marry a good place?"

Luo Lingjun was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Zhu's eyes turned sharp, "Okay, then this Mo Dongting can't stay!"

·

The cold wind was shining, and he didn't feel cold when he was half-wrapped in Shang Jue's arms day and night, and he said after a while, "Yan Guo has won nine cities, and it is impossible for the royal family not to doubt Yan Guo's intentions, you said that the royal family has little patience for the princes." ”

Shang Jue took her into his arms, "Are you worried about Yan Guo?"

Chaoxi pursed his lips, "I'm just reminding you of the truth, and besides, I didn't say that I asked the court for marriage after the sword test conference." ”

Shang Jue raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you mean......"

Chaoxi frowned slightly, "This matter should be considered in the long run." ”

Shang Jue sneered, "From a long-term perspective, Gu sees that you want to take one step at a time, and you don't plan to ask for marriage at all, what are you thinking in your heart, Gu understands very well, Gu never said that he only let you go to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion." ”

Chaoxi raised his brows slightly, "What do you mean by that?"

Shang Jue was a little helpless, "It means-"

Before he finished speaking, Shang Jue suddenly looked keenly at the left rear of the two, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yun Zhe!"

With a soft drink, Yun Zhe immediately turned over and jumped on the roof and rushed towards the target, only to hear the sound of soldiers fighting each other, and the next moment someone walked away, Yun Zhe shouted "What person" also chased over!

As soon as the two of them walked to a corridor facing a rockery landscape pavilion, one side was a wall, the other side was a withered flower and tree courtyard, a flower garden was separated, and a corridor was surrounded by a wall, there was only one entrance and entrance before and after, and the person who was suitable for the right person was hidden on the roof of the wall behind them, Shang Jue and Chaoxi stopped walking, and their faces were a little ugly.

Who would dare to follow them like this in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion?!

Is it surveillance or trying to assassinate......

Chaoxi took a shallow breath, but said, "How can you follow us at this time? ”

Shang Jue took the morning and evening to himself, his eyes fell on the direction of Yun Zhe and the past, two points of light flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly, "I didn't succeed in Nanye Mountain last time, so naturally there will be a follow-up." ”

Chaoxi squinted, "But the person sent is so clumsy, aren't you afraid of startling the snake?"

What Chaoxi can think of, Shang Jue can also think of, the corners of his lips are slightly pursed, and the expression on his face is difficult to distinguish joy and anger for a while, and Zi Xun who followed them is a little pale, but Shen'er and Zhan Jiucheng looked calm, their eyes kept looking around, looking vigilant, Shang Jue paused, but he didn't see Yun Zhe come back, and couldn't help but look at Zhan Jiucheng, "You go and take a look." ”

Zhan Jiucheng hesitated slightly, but met Shang Jue's determined gaze, he didn't dare to disobey Shang Jue's order, so he had to nod and follow Yun Zhe's direction, for a while, there were only Shen'er and Zi Jing left around Chaoxi and Shang Jue!

"Let's go, let's go back to the snow courtyard first. ”

Shang Jue turned around and walked away, and as soon as he took a step, his footsteps stopped.

Chaoxi clenched his fists, and Zi Wei behind him asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, why don't you leave?"

Chaoxi sighed and pushed Zi Ying back.

"Can't go......"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of dark arrows shot at them from the roof of the opposite house, the cold light was as fast as lightning, and the four of them were completely exposed to the enemy's cold arrows, and there was nowhere to hide!
