Jian Ye put down the Buddhist scriptures copied by Rong Qingyi, picked up the painting, and looked at it carefully.

"Xianggong, are you back?" Rong Qingyi's voice sounded behind Jian Ye, Jian Ye glanced back, Rong Qingyi was walking in from outside, holding a small bamboo basket in his hand, in which a few blooming flowers were placed, and there were some faint water marks on the petals.

"You drew this?" Jian Ye smiled, as if he was just asking casually.

Rong Qingyi nodded, and while answering Jian Ye's question, he easily inserted the flowers in the bamboo basket into the vase on the table, "Yes, I dreamed of it in a dream at noon today, and I was a little panicked when I thought about it, so I drew it casually, and for this reason, I copied the Buddhist scriptures again, and it was better." By the way, thank you for letting Jinzhong send back the dim sum, it tastes good. Is there anything wrong with this painting? ”

There was no trace of intentionality in Rong Qingyi's words and expressions, her tone and attitude were very calm, and there was only a faint uneasiness in her eyes when she mentioned the dream.

"The pavilion inside this painting looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere." Jian Ye retracted her scrutinizing eyes, Rong Qingyi is not a woman who is good at disguising herself, in her impression, she usually puts her expression on her face, although she has matured a lot during this time, but in a short period of time, she has become a person who hides her heart at all and does not show it at all, it is impossible, "You have a good painting, looking at the painting, I feel a gloomy atmosphere." ”

Rong Qing said with some curiosity: "Do you look familiar? Impossible, this pavilion seems to have been destroyed for a long time, although I don't know this pavilion, but I know the flowers and plants in it, the size and growth of the canola can be roughly deduced from the year, I remember some vague pictures, especially the deepest impression of this pavilion, there is actually a table in the pavilion, but unfortunately I don't remember clearly in the dream, by the way, you see, this is the situation in the pavilion I painted, I still remember the pattern on the broken wall of the pavilion in the dream. ”

As she spoke, Rong Qingyi took out one from the paper on the table and handed it to Jian Ye.

Jian Ye took it, this is the painting of the pavilion, the painting is just the pavilion, the light is very gray, it seems to be at dusk, or rather, the sun can't shine here at all, Rong Qingyi painted very well, although it is only painted on paper, but there is still a damp and cold taste, and there is a faint evil atmosphere, the color of the rosewood on this is more bright, and it is slightly larger, climbing on the broken pillar of the pavilion, there are indeed some patterns on the broken pillar, there is a table and a few chairs in the pavilion, it seems that it used to be a meeting place.

"I've seen it here." Jian Ye frowned slightly, "It should be when I was very young, I once got lost in the palace and inadvertently entered the Fengxiao Pavilion, this is the courtyard of the Fengxiao Pavilion, fortunately, Jinzhong and Jinxi were with me at that time, and my father also found out in time and sent someone to pick it up, it was winter, there was no one in the courtyard, and there were no such lush flowers and plants, only deep snow, the pavilion has been destroyed, because of my entry, the emperor not only put to death a few servants of the courtyard, but also sent a fire to me, If it weren't for the Queen Mother's side to maintain it, I would definitely have been punished. ”

Rong Qing was stunned and said softly: "Could it be that there are really some unspeakable secrets in the Phoenix Pavilion?" And is the emperor deliberately hiding the secret of the Queen Mother? ”

"Possibly." Jian Ye frowned slightly, "In this way, I really want to find a suitable opportunity to go to the Phoenix Pavilion, but I can't choose a time when I may be discovered at any time, but I must choose a time when I won't be discovered, for example, in the middle of the night." ”

Rong Qing smiled, a little naughty said: "Xianggong doesn't have to be like this, you say this, I remember what my father took me to before, at that time, Feng Yan Pavilion has been destroyed, but some repairs are still there, because some of the things in it are purchased by my father, so I still need my father's help, in fact, the emperor privately sent someone to ask my father to buy some things to send to Feng Yan Pavilion, this father has never told outsiders, I also pestered my father to take me out to play, my father said, I don't know why the emperor wants to add objects to a courtyard that has been abandoned, when my father sends some objects to the Phoenix Pavilion, he walks the periphery of the palace, and it is also the periphery of the Phoenix Pavilion, where the princes used to hunt on horseback. ”

Jian Ye's eyes lit up and blurted out, "Good idea." Don't you say that I really forgot about it, the periphery of the Phoenix Pavilion is on the periphery of the palace, the outside of the Phoenix Pavilion used to be the prince's racecourse and hunting place, with the abandonment of the Phoenix Pavilion, it has also become a place where idlers are not allowed to enter and exit, there are many strange rocks, the site is empty, although it is not easy to hide in it, but it is not impossible to quietly approach the Phoenix Pavilion. Yes, there must be a secret in it, otherwise, the emperor doesn't have to secretly send someone to ask your father to buy objects for the Phoenix Pavilion, the palace has his own money that can be used to buy the objects needed in the palace, what the emperor wants, as long as he speaks, there is no need to hide it from the Queen Mother, however, the emperor is a puppet, in state affairs, and in money, unless he has other ways to get money from elsewhere, otherwise he can't hide it from the Queen Mother. ”

Rong Qingyi pouted, and said with some small complaints: "Although the emperor is a puppet, he is not stupid, naturally he will not pay for himself, and he sent people to let his father buy on his behalf, and he can't buy things, but the money is unwilling to pay his father, our Rong family is a treasury for him, what he wants is to move his mouth, and he can't be slow, all he wants is some exquisite objects, the price is expensive, and it is difficult to find in the world." That is to say, our Rong family is not short of money, and it is not uncommon to ask for money behind the emperor, just to spend money to keep safe. ”

Jian Ye smiled, "Well, that makes sense. ”

"So, why don't we take a look at it at dinner?" Rong Qingyi whispered curiously, "Anyway, being idle is idle, I'm really curious, why my father hasn't mentioned it there, although he has repeatedly spent money to buy things for that deserted yard, he has never complained, what is the reason?" ”

"No, it's too dangerous there, I'll take Jinzhong and Jinxi over to take a look, if there are really any interesting people and things, I will definitely come back and tell you." Jian Ye shook his head, "You don't have martial arts, and you're a weak woman, if you go there, if something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it for a while." ”

Although Rong Qingyi looked unhappy, he didn't continue to entangle, and the voice of the Qin clan outside reminded the two of them that dinner was ready, and invited the two of them to the dining room to eat.

Jin Zhong and Jin Xi couldn't guess what the master of the third watch was suddenly going to take them to such a desolate place in the middle of the night? This used to be many, many years ago, decades ago, at that time, their own masters had not yet been born, anyway, they had never seen the heyday of this place before, the princes' favorite place to play, the princes rode horses and frolicked here, and the emperor was still very healthy and still reigning.

"Master, what are we doing here?" Jin Zhong asked puzzled, glanced around, nothing could be seen in the dark, the weather was not good, although the rain was lighter, almost not falling, but the wind was very strong, and there was still some cool smell on the body.

Jian Ye said calmly: "Go to the Phoenix Pavilion." ”

"Phoenix Pavilion?" Jin Zhong was stunned, that place is said to be haunted often!

Jin Xi was also a little surprised, and said softly: "Master, my subordinates heard that Feng Xiao Pavilion is a place with extremely heavy yin energy, and it is often haunted, and the subordinates are not afraid, but worried that it is not good for the master to go there." ”

"It's okay, since the emperor will send his subordinates over, there must be something haunted inside." Jian Ye said calmly, "Where do ghosts come from in this world, it's just that people have ghosts in themselves." ”

Jin Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Otherwise, master, don't go over, you wait here, and your subordinates will go over and have a look first, although Feng Yan Pavilion is a courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time, but his subordinates have inadvertently seen the guards, although they are all inconspicuous, but they are all hidden, and their subordinates also recognize one or two of them, all of them are former martial arts masters." - Also, why did a long-abandoned courtyard send a master to secretly guard it? Is there really a secret? ”

Jinxi glanced at his brother and whispered, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes." Jin Zhong said softly but surely, "I once met a guard I knew in the palace, said hello, and casually asked him who he is now looking for, and he said that he was on the side of the Phoenix Pavilion, and I also made a joke of him at the time, saying, You are really happy, you can do such an idle job without fear." He didn't answer me at the time, just smiled wryly and hurried away. He was a very skilled guard, older than me, but when I was younger, I was no match for him. ”

After Jin Zhong finished speaking, Jian Ye and Jin Xi did not speak, but the three of them suddenly understood in their hearts that there must be some secret in the Feng Xiao Pavilion, and this secret must be related to the current emperor, since the current emperor is still hiding from the queen mother, this secret must be that the current emperor absolutely does not want outsiders to know.

But what kind of secrets are there in the Phoenix Pavilion?

"Master, in front of you is the outer wall of the Phoenix Pavilion." Jin Zhong lowered his voice and said, "It seems that there are guards patrolling, and it seems that this courtyard is not really deserted." ”

"Look at the regularity of their patrols." Jian Ye said lightly, "Even if there are secrets inside, after such a long time, these guards will be a little subconsciously slack, as long as we figure out their rules, we can enter the courtyard from the outer wall." ”

Jin Zhong nodded, and Jin Xi carefully observed the situation of the patrol guards.

After half an hour, Jin Zhong and Jin Xi returned to Jian Ye's side, they went in different directions, and then determined the patrol rules of the guards.

"Master." Jin Zhongxian said softly, "The patrols are very frequent, but there are not too many people, but they are not bad in terms of skills." There are two teams, each walking clockwise and counterclockwise along the perimeter. ”R1292
