Chapter 216: Night Break

"What's going on over there Gu Yong?" asked the third prince.

"He hasn't been anywhere lately, and he's been in the house all day. Xu Fengyang replied.

The third prince continued to build the flower branch: "Keep an eye on him." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Fengyang: "Your Highness, Your Highness's ...... over there"

"Still sluggish?" said the third prince.

"Yes. ”

The third prince kept moving: "My eldest brother, I really love beauties more than the throne, let's continue to watch." ”

In just two days, the court has changed, and the onlookers all feel that the world is impermanent.

The next day, it was the last day of the seven-day limit for the eldest princess's life.

Originally, the eldest prince also wanted to manipulate the name to force Xiangyu to loosen his mouth and take out the blood of the ancestor of the powerful ghosts, but since the incident of Fuyi and Fuheng broke out, public opinion suddenly changed direction.

Xiangfu was released from prison yesterday and returned to Xiangfu, only to be punished by the emperor for a few months for poor supervision.

The eldest princess was smashed, originally because of the negligence of the supervisor to repair the Lingyun Temple, but as several charges surfaced on Fuyi's body, Fuyi deducted the repair cost of the Lingyun Temple, causing the supervisor to cut corners when repairing the Lingyun Temple, and Xiangfu as the main person in charge, because the people below colluded with Fuyi to deceive the subordinates and conceal it, so that Xiangfu did not know it, and carried the black pot, all of which was finally verified to be true.

In this way, the eldest princess was smashed and seriously injured, and the fault was not Xiangfu at all, but Fuyi.

Fuyi is dead, and the responsibility for the smashing of the eldest princess cannot be pursued, which is undoubtedly a great blow to the entire Grand Prince's Mansion.

The matter of the eldest prince asking for blood from Xiangfu became more and more morally untenable.

Losing his last hope, the eldest prince racked his brains, came up with a plan, and decided to take a risk.

Jade disturbs the courtyard, in Xiangyu's study.

Mian Liang looked at the newly placed bamboo on the windowsill, and was distracted, Xiangyu entered the courtyard, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a stunned scene.

It seems that after returning from Jiqi Mountain, the sleeping fence is often in such a daze.

In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with Fuyi, and he has not had a chance to ask her the reason.

Xiangyu walked to the window and stood only across the wall from the hedge in the house.

"What are you looking at?"

Mian Liang was startled, suddenly woke up, and saluted him: "Childe!"

Xiangyu stretched out his hand and brushed the brittle branches and leaves of Wenzhu, and repeated his question: "What were you looking at just now?"

Mian Liang was stunned and replied, "The slave was just in a daze." ”

"Daze?"

"Childe, why did you kill Lord Fu directly?" In the past few days, the wind has been surging, and Mian Liang can't interject or help, just watching Xiangyu strategize from the side, and in a blink of an eye, a life is gone.

That's not an ordinary human life, it's the head of the fifth largest clan on the hundred genealogy!

What is the use of killing Fuyi now for the Xiang people?

"He's damned. Xiangyu said lightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at the sleeping fence fixedly, "I promised you, before you were sent to the altar, I would allow you to bless you, only when he died, everything could end, not only to keep the reputation of my Xiang clan, but also to provide blood to the eldest princess." ”

When Mian Fence heard this, his heart palpitated.

She was so shocked that she clutched herself to her chest.

Xiangyu's eyes flashed with puzzlement.

Mian Li's face suddenly became a little hot, she turned around, and muttered: "Why don't you let me supply blood to others, I didn't give it to that Qiu Gongzi before, but I just care more about the reputation of the Xiang clan." ”

"What did you say?" Xiangyu heard her mutter, but couldn't hear the content clearly.

"It's okay, the slave prepares tea for the son. He hurried out of the window and walked towards the desk in the house.

Xiangyu looked at her somewhat hasty back, and her doubts were even heavier.

When night fell, darkness shrouded the jade disturbance courtyard, and the sound of summer cicadas surrounded it.

The bluestone pavement in front of the courtyard glows with a cool luster in the moonlight, which is incompatible with the hot air in the middle of summer.

A black shadow leaped into the air, swept over the bluestone slab, casting a moment of shadow on the layer of light and clear light on the slate, and the clothes of the visitor brought a gust of wind, and the heat floating in the air was dispelled for a moment, and then returned to normal.

The raccoon slave who was keeping vigil in the Xiangyu room tonight went back to the west room early.

As soon as the raccoon slave waited for Xiangyu to sleep and came to the outer room, suddenly he seemed to sense something, and the smile on the eyes of a pair of blue tanuki cats instantly stopped, and a cold light flew from the bottom of his eyes.

"I'll take a look. Yin Heng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then a white light flew out of the room through the crack in the door.

The white light followed the breath all the way, and the intruder had a natural human and ghost aura, and did not enter the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, but only wandered outside the courtyard for a while, and then went straight to the south.

To the south, it is the location of the fence courtyard.

Mian Li, who had just gone to bed, also sensed this breath, so when the tanuki slave just came out of the Xiangyu room, Mian Li rushed over.

"Do you know what he's doing here tonight?" Mian Li's expression was a little more serious than usual, and he asked bluntly as soon as he came up.

"Looks like you've figured out who he is, too. The tanuki closed the door and walked over to the hedge.

Mian Liang sighed: "There are all the breath of people and ghosts, except for Ji'an, there will be no one else." ”

sneaked into Xiangfu without permission, even if it is a sleeping fence this time, I am afraid it will not be able to protect him.

"He's here tonight, and if my guess is correct, he's probably running for the blood of the Ancestors. The tanuki and the sleeping fence walked quickly towards the outside of the courtyard, walking along the tanuki road.

Mian Liang was stunned, she lived in the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, I am afraid that the entire Yin'an people and ghosts know about it, if Ji'an is for her blood, why didn't she come to the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, but ran to the Fence Courtyard?

With this question, the sleeping fence followed the tanuki slave to the hedge courtyard.

The old wooden door of the courtyard was ajar, and the sound of fierce fighting was coming from inside, and the light and shadow of the two magic lights intersecting and flickering leaked out.

The sleeping fence tightened, reached out and pushed open the wooden door, and ran in quickly, she recognized at a glance that one of the two people who were fighting was Falcon, and the other was Ji'an.

Yin Heng crossed his arms in front of his chest, with an ebony sword standing in his arms, and was standing near the side of the hedge tree to watch.

Mian Liang flashed in front of the two people who were fighting, turned into a dagger of cold iron, and split the two intertwined magic lights in mid-air, shouting: "Stop!"

The two figures flew to stop on both sides of the courtyard one by one, and saw Falcon and Ji'an looking at each other a few steps apart, and both of them had murderous aura in their eyes.

Mian Liang stood in front of Ji'an, Ji'an looked at her, his brows were slightly furrowed, his lips were about to be opened, and Mian Liang suddenly showed the cold iron dagger in his hand, which reached Ji'an's neck.

Mian Liang said sharply: "Break into Xiangfu at night, what do you want?!"

Her voice was cold like it had never been before, and it sounded very impersonal, as if she were talking to a stranger.
