On the night of the death of the county lord of Yuyao, snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and it rained for seven days in a row.

On the eighth day, the snow finally stopped, and the sunlight came out from behind the clouds, shallow and faint, sprinkled on Dayan Mountain, and the light reflected by the snow made the mountain add another layer of sacred color.

A pair of plain satin soft shoes decorated with silver threads, stepping on the golden morning light, walked slowly in the cold gray corridor of the Tianshu Palace. At the end of the corridor is the Guanyun Terrace, with a wide field of vision, you can see the prosperous Chang'an City in the distance, and the most dazzling glow between heaven and earth.

This is the beautiful scenery that belongs to the Tianshu Palace, and it is also the beautiful scenery that belongs to An Lan in the past five years.

But today, there are people who share it with her, and they are one step ahead of her.

In the mountain mist, the man standing on the cloud viewing platform is still dressed in a plain robe, which is so simple that it is incompatible with the incense hall, but it is strangely suitable for the beautiful scenery here.

When An Lan stepped onto the cloud viewing platform, he turned around, his face was bathed in golden light, a smile escaped from his lips, climbed up his eyebrows, and then dipped into those deep eyes. His eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked at her slowly, and his eyes were sparkling, enough to confuse people's hearts.

She stopped, and he bowed slightly at her: "Mr. An came early today." ”

An Lan walked over: "The incense envoy also came to enjoy the snow?"

Bai Yan lowered his gaze to the front: "The snow scene here is indeed good, but I am waiting for Mr. here." ”

An Lan paused slightly and glanced at him: "Did you find anything?"

The murder of the lord of Yuyao County has been shrouded in fog so far, on the surface, it seems that Jingfu is in big trouble, but in fact, this matter is from the Changxiang Palace, and it is obviously from the Tianshu Palace.

The county lord died too bizarrely, and the perpetrator did not leave any clues, and now, almost all the people who handled the case had a doubt in their hearts that they did not dare to speak: This kind of ability, except for the great incense master, who else can do it?

On the day of the accident in Jingfu, An Lan immediately ordered the incense envoy to investigate the matter.

Incense Suppression: Town, suppress with strength, deter by force; holding the incense order, can supervise the external affairs of the incense hall, and can also manage the internal affairs of the incense hall, except for the great incense master, there is no need to obey anyone's orders.

Tianshu Hall did not have the position of incense envoy, and the entire Changxiang Palace, since the beginning of the record, has never appeared in this position. The internal affairs and external affairs of the incense hall have always been separated, and it was An Lan who set the precedent, she suppressed all the opposing voices and designated the man in front of her as the incense envoy.

When she handed over the incense order to Bai Yan, there was strong opposition from the Tianshu Hall and even several other incense halls, and Liu Xuanji asked her three questions about this.

Are you sure what you're handing over?

Can you be sure what he took over?

As a great incense master, everything is born from the heart, if these two circumstances are not certain, then the power of the incense order will be infinitely expanded, and at that time, will you still be able to control him?

……

Bai Yan nodded: "Before the county lord of Yuyao arrived in Chang'an, he stayed in Hegu for half a day, and at that time there were fifteen people in their group, but after arriving in Chang'an City, there were only fourteen people left. ”

"Who is the one who is missing, and why didn't they go into the city together?"

"It was a maid, it is said that she was infected with a cold, and she was afraid that she would be sick to the county lord, and the illness was not light at that time, and she was not suitable to hurry, so she was left in Hegu to recuperate. ”

"That maid is still in Hegu?"

"I received the news this morning that the person is gone. ”

"Is it dead?"

"Checking. Bai Yan shook his head, "Even if she is not dead, it will not be easy to find her." ”

An Lan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think that maid has to do with the death of the county lord of Yuyao?"

"It's hard to say right now. Bai Yan smiled and looked at her again, "But I also heard a rumor this morning, it is said that the county lord of Yuyao came to Chang'an this time for a marriage contract. ”

"Engagement?"

"Back then, Jing Gong and the King of Zhennan had an agreement to be his sons and daughters, and Jing Gong also wrote down a document that if he breached the contract one day, he would hold the Xiangtian and Kou Mei Lin of Hegu as compensation. Bai Yan said this, paused for a moment, looked at her, and continued, "Now everyone knows that Jing Gong's two sons, one has been dead for many years, and the other has also been missing for several years, and before he disappeared, he had also made a marriage, but the object of the marriage was not the county lord of Yuyao. ”

An Lan met his eyes: "I've never heard of this, how did you get such news?"

"The news came from the people of southern Xinjiang, and in less than a day, everyone who should know will know about it. ”

An Lan turned her head and looked at the glow between the clouds in the distance, with a faint expression: "It's an excellent reason, in this way, my motive for killing is also there, presumably the evidence is all ready, and they are coming for me." ”

The Xiangtian and Kou Sleepy Forest in Hegu were once the private property of Jing Gong, and then passed on to Jing Yan Gongzi, who then handed them over to An Lan.

Bai Yan looked at her carefully, but he didn't find a trace of anger on her face, that delicate face, like fine white porcelain, was so beautiful that it was cold.

The two were silent for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and asked, "How is the gentleman going to deal with it?"

An Lan didn't answer, just looked into the distance, as if attracted by the glow. There was such a gentle voice in his ears, but there was a trace of alienation in his tone, which was a unique love between strangers.

After a long time, she said: "Jing Xiao wants to see you, I came here early in the morning, and I have been waiting in the front hall." ”

Bai Yan thought for a moment: "Jing Xiao, is it the third young master of Jing Mansion?"

"Well, after the disappearance of Prince Jing Yan......" An Lan retracted his gaze and glanced at him, "Duke Jing couldn't wait for Prince Jing Yan to come back, and re-appointed the heir before his death, but that kid couldn't hold such a fortune, he fell ill the year before last, and the power in his hand was taken away by his second uncle Jing Zhong." ”

"Why did he want to see me?"

"What do you think?" A smile suddenly appeared on An Lan's face, the smile was slightly cold, like the wind in the mountains, cold and charming, "It's up to you whether you see him or not, but if you go to see him, you can only be as a messenger of incense." ”

Bai Yan smiled and bowed: "I understand." ”

An Lan couldn't help but ask, "What do you understand?"

Bai Yan pursed a smile on his lips: "There must be a lot of people who want to confirm my identity right now, mainly the high priest of Southern Xinjiang, who has not yet appeared, and Mr. An wants to lure him out through me." ”

An Lan looked at him and didn't speak.

The smile on Bai Yan's lips slowly retracted, and the eyes that came over were clearly clear, but if you looked closely, it made it impossible to see how much love was hidden inside, like gurgling water, and like a cold ice blade.

Finally, An Lan retracted her gaze and said, "It's not too early, if you want to see him, don't let him wait too long." ”

Bai Yan came back to his senses, bowed his head and said goodbye, An Lan turned around and got off the cloud viewing platform, and walked back onto the cold gray corridor.

"Miss Anlan. ”

But at this moment, he called out to her behind him, and changed his name.

When she turned around, she saw him looking at her and said, "The girl is thin, you should wear more clothes when you come out, if it is winter today, and the mountain is cold and windy, no matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it is not suitable to be greedy." ”

He waved his hands and saluted before turning to leave.

An Lan looked at his back as he walked away from the wind, and felt a little angry in his heart.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it should not be coveted.

Say it so lightly!

You really want you to go on like this forever!

It's just that under the clouds, the back of that free and smooth is finally the shadow in her heart, little by little, slowly overlapping.

Who is Prince Jingyan?

It's her Bole, her mentor, her most powerful supporter, and her fiancé.

He occupies almost all the important roles in her life.

He cultivated her, loved her, calculated her, and everything he did was to kill her, but in the end he did everything he could to fulfill her.

He used the most ruthless heart to carve the deepest love in her life.

He also repaid all her love with his life.
