Chapter Fifty-Four: The Night's Clothes
Huan has been resting in Sima Xi's mansion for a few days, everything is treated according to the courtesy of a first-class guest, and he is not worried about food and clothing compared with the previous embarrassing situation, but there is only one thing that makes him depressed, that is, Sima Xi refuses to see him.

said that he was unwilling, and the Tao didn't say that he couldn't see it, but every time Huan went to Sima Xi's study to visit, he called Cheng Ji to stop him and said: "If the prince is here today, it is inconvenient to talk to the doorman, so please go back." ”
Huan looked at the deep pylorus in the palace, so he had to go back in a huff. In the past few days, I have entered the palace and seen a lot of doormen from all over the world, and asked Cheng Ji to mention a few words, and he was also clear about this humble level, and gradually collected some edges, there is a way that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and since they have entered the mansion, they must follow the laws of others. Huan Ji went back to the room where the guests lived and read for a while, and felt that he couldn't read, so he set off to go around the street, ate a few meals in the restaurant that had been coveted before, and went to listen to a few books on the flower street.
When he arrived at the Nanling Palace, after passing the main gate, Huan Jie wanted to go to the wing room on the right, but he was still reluctant to glance at Sima Xi's study, only to see that it was still brightly lit. The prince is really working, Huan all thought, so he turned his head and walked towards the study, so late should be no longer a guest, if the prince is reading, he can just talk to him.
Huan was walking, thinking about what to talk about with the prince later, and now everyone in the world knows that the war in the north is about to start, and it is a wonderful topic. In the blink of an eye, the unique roof of the study has come into view, although the red lacquer can not be seen clearly at night, but it still looks rich in the light of the fire in the hall. At the main entrance of the study, Cheng Ji was still guarding the door like a stone lion, and Huan Jun stepped forward to greet: "Good housekeeper Cheng." Is the prince in there at the moment?"
Cheng Ji nodded, raised his eyes and added: "The prince has a guest to come to the meeting later, I am afraid that I will not have time to see my son today, and it is not too early, why don't I go back to the wing room to rest and read first?"
"It's been a few days, doesn't the prince feel that Huan Du has done something wrong and doesn't want to see me?" Huan Du was a little anxious.
"When the lord can use the son, he will come to invite the son, the prince has an arrangement in his heart, please don't be impatient. Cheng Ji smiled and said, "Childe, Taoguang can accumulate thick and thin." ”
Huan was dumbfounded by him, so he had to turn around and go back along the same road. Although Cheng Ji said that he was the first to say, when he walked past the study, Huan Ji's eyes were still staring at the direction of the study, and the bright lights in it seemed to be like concrete glory and brilliance, but he could only bury himself in the dark night and experience desolation at the moment.
Suddenly, the light in the study seemed to flicker in unison, and if it weren't for Huan Jun staring straight all the time, he would have thought that he had blinked. He pondered for a moment, and then it dawned on him, and he stepped quietly into the meadow, into the bushes, and finally hid himself under the wall behind his study. Sure enough, there was really a person inside, wrapped tightly by a dark night robe, only revealing a pair of fierce eyes, kneeling down on one knee to greet Sima Xi, it turned out that the flickering of the right talent was really not the light in the room flashing, but this person flew in front of his eyes, but in a moment, the person entered Sima Xi's study, quietly, even he entered from where he entered, which shows the high martial arts of the man in black in the room.
"Head of the house, Jane has returned. The black-clothed man in the room had a strange accent hidden between his words, his voice was muffled with a face scarf, and Huan was eavesdropping under the window, not feeling like a Jin person.
"Found?" Sima Xi's threatening voice sounded.
"Yes. It's not that I've found it, Jane never dared to come back to restore her life, last time I let 'her' escape, it was Jane who was careless, please forgive the head of the house!"
"Is Shu Yang better?"
"I haven't been lying down for seven or forty-nine days, but the toxicity of Wubuqing has already subsided a lot. Jane Cong thanked the head of the family for Shu Yang's kindness. ”
Sima Xi nodded, and said, "Get up and talk about 'her'." ”
Jian Cong got up, still respectfully clasped his fists and said: "Jian Cong found that 'she' is living in an unexpected place at the moment. ”
"Wuyi Lane?" Sima Xi said indifferently.
Indeed, 'she' is serving in Wuyi Lane at the moment. ”
Sima Xi smiled contemptuously and said to himself: "I made a big mistake and didn't dare to come back to confess, but went to take refuge in them, how could this king raise such an ungrateful dog." ”
"Yes. 'She' betrayed her promises and failed the king's high expectations, and her sin should be destroyed. Lord Wang, what do you need Jian Cong to do right now?"
"You don't follow her for the time being, this king left her for her own use, although you have been acting secretly in the past few years, although no one in the rivers and lakes has ever seen your face, but after all, it is Wuyi Lane, and you follow it too closely for fear of being exposed, you go and take care of Shu Yang first, you and the other five people are all the king's henchmen, and no one can have anything to do." ”
"The head of the family raised a great grace, I dare not forget, lest I not be able to share the worries of the head of the family, and the careless work will affect the thoughts of the head of the family, and Jane blames himself a lot!"
Sima Xi stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will go back." ”
Jian Cong got up, Huan looked through the window screen, his wolf-like fierce eyes actually showed warmth, only to hear Jian Cong and said: "Family master, there is one more thing!" Immediately, he took out a bag from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
Sima Xi took it, his eyes trembled slightly, probably because he had a prediction in his heart, he only carefully pulled the drawstring apart, and took out a round hole jasper pendant, the color was moist and transparent, smooth as washing, and the light of the fire candle passed through the pure jade body upright, projecting the shadow of the emerald ring in front of Sima Xi's eyes. Sima Xi stared at the jade, his brows frowned slightly, and Jian Cong took the initiative when he saw this, and he didn't dare to make a sound, just waiting for the order on the side.
"Where did you get it?" Sima Xi stared for a long time, until his eyes were clear, and finally asked.
"That's a coincidence. "Jane from the back," That day, Jane fell into 'her' plan, went to the burned farmhouse to rummage but found nothing, on the way back, passing by a dream sandy land, Jane from the heart of the road, did not pay attention, after returning to the bamboo house, found that Shu Yang was poisoned and went to pursue the whereabouts of "her", tossing and turning, until recently when I needed to go back to Jianye, I passed through the dream sandy land, and found that the jade pendant was hanging on the dream sand branch, perhaps someone at that time dropped or hid the jade pendant in the dream sand, when the flower first bloomed low and was not noticed, and at this moment the flower branch grew out, just implicated in this pendant。 Perhaps, it was this jade that really had a fate with the prince, and the shaman gods just happened to make the flowers bloom, and sent Jane to get them from passing by. ”
"Good. Got it, go down. Sima Xi put the jade in the palm of the jade palm and looked at it again and again.
She Jian knelt down and saluted again from the order, and disappeared from the house, the speed of the action made Huan Jie, who had been eavesdropping on the corner window for a long time, still missed the opportunity to see how he changed in an instant, but he heard the whistling sound of a giant bird fluttering its wings and driving the wind in the quiet space not far away, Huan was hidden in the corner of the wall and did not dare to move, he didn't know where the mysterious man in black was, and the movement at this moment was revealing where he was.
Huan Ji waited for a while, but Sima Xi in the house left the study and said a few words to Cheng Ji who was waiting at the door, Cheng Ji then entered the study to help Sima Xi organize the documents on the case, and Sima Xi walked alone to the Nanling Wangfu Palace in the depths of the night.
Even Chengji didn't follow, which is quite bizarre when he thinks about it. Huan all thought about it, and also secretly stepped forward, following Sima Xi from a distance, thirty zhang away, leaving only a faint back in the field of vision, and his steps were like servants walking inadvertently in the night mansion.
Along the way, Sima Xi probably didn't expect that someone in the house would dare to follow him, so he only took off his guard and went straight to his destination, without even looking back.
Huan all the way followed him to a small house in the back garden of the Nanling Palace, the small house is only one story high, the moonlight is shrouded in carved railings, and its exquisite and simple ingenuity can be faintly seen, which is completely different from the magnificent and magnificent façade outside, and there are candles in the house, but only the dim and dark is not as bright as the study. Sima Xi straightened his robe outside the door, and then pushed the door in. Huan Jie detoured to the corner of the side window and peeked in.
This is an ancestral hall!
