The eldest prince Zhu Kui frowned and said, "Concubine Ning asked them to find Zhu Hai, is she favoring Hong Daoyi?" If this is the case, I am afraid that the gate supervisor will really lose face. When he turned his head, he found that Decheng was actually laughing, and said in confusion, "Why are you laughing, could it be that the gate supervisor has offended you, and she is unlucky to make you happy?" ”

Decheng said sullenly, "You are too underestimated by the gate supervisor, this palace guarantees that even if the Tianwen Gate gate supervisor loses, she can return to the Taige with a cheeky face." ”

"Oh?"

"Because we are the gate supervisor of the Dafeng Dynasty, there are too many things to lose face, and we are not afraid of losing it again." Decheng concluded.

When he broke into Taige that day, he saw the gate prison who was still burning incense and bathing, and Decheng still can't forget the scene he saw that day. Although she was outside the door, she could see the smooth and white back under the mist, the lines were beautiful, the face of the man was covered in the mist, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at her with surprise and contempt, and the picture was unbelievably beautiful.

But it's a pity that she was soon pulled away by the people sent by her father, and the gate supervisor who was seen on her back then walked out, wearing a mask, and said lightly to Dechengyun, "Your Royal Highness Princess, why are you looking at my back in a daze?" ”

The air seemed to be condensed, Decheng was dumbfounded, and the dozen or so people around him were also as stiff as wood, unable to raise their heads in embarrassment.

The gate supervisor looked at the starry sky and said in confusion, "Hongluan Star moves slightly, Your Royal Highness the princess ......"

Decheng's face suddenly turned crimson, and he stomped his feet and said, "It's all for the palace, the palace is going back to the palace!" ”

So that night, there were vague rumors in the palace that Princess Decheng peeping at the gate and couldn't take a bath, and she was angry and ran away in a rage.

After causing such a misunderstanding, Decheng did run away, but in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion outside the palace, he met Ning Tao. Decheng was in a bad mood, but he happened to meet Ning Tao and formed a beam, Decheng returned to the palace in disgrace and was punished by the queen, and he hated Ning Tao more and more in his heart, but he hated the gate supervisor who was the culprit.

Zhu Kui looked at Decheng's face of defeat at this moment, trembled, and didn't dare to mention it again.

Looking at the field again, Hong Daoyi spread out a mat and sat on the ground, took a copper basin and filled it with water, and began to look for Zhu Hai. Lian Yi stood beside him and watched for a long time, without the slightest intention of looking for something.

Hong Dao caught a glimpse of Lian Yi's movements, and at first calmed himself down and didn't want to be disturbed by this woman, but then he became more and more unable to concentrate, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, "Lord Gatekeeper, why don't you prepare?" ”

Lian Yi said, "You've already started looking for it?" ”

"This is the method of 'Beidou exploration', looking for what you want to find with a copper basin of water, isn't this method used by the door supervisor?"

Lian Yi glanced at a big tripod placed in the middle of the field, and a pillar of incense was inserted in the tripod to estimate the time spent on finding things, and shook his head and said, "If you look for yours, I'll take a look first." ”

Helplessly, Hong Dao had to concentrate again under her burning gaze.

Does this woman want to learn and sell now, and use my method to find Zhu Hai? No, it's impossible, I spent four years learning this 'Beidou Exploration', visiting famous artists, reading hundreds of episodes of Zhuzi, even Ning Xu's innate wisdom has to be studied for a long time under my guidance, how can this girl learn it all at once?

Among the guests present, Ning Xiang looked calm, sipped tea from time to time, and later, asked the little guy next to him to change the good wine for him and poured himself a drink.

The gate supervisor glanced at Ning Xiang, turned the cup in his hand, and said slowly, "Master Ning Xiang, drinking alcohol hurts your body, and the Si people have passed away, so why do you want to add to your troubles?" ”

When Ning Xiang heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he put down the cup heavily, and some of the wine in the cup spilled out. said with a gloomy face: "If it weren't for you, my Xu'er wouldn't have died." ”

Lime couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the gate guard, you wouldn't even be able to keep another grandson." ”

"Lime-" The gate supervisor glanced at her warningly, and then still said indifferently, "Xiang Ye has lost his beloved grandson, and this gate supervisor is really ashamed, so he will toast Ning Gongzi with tea instead of wine to comfort the heroic soul." As he spoke, he swept the tea in front of everyone.

Ning Xiang's eyes moved slightly, glanced at the lime, and didn't look at this side again.

Lime turned his head to look at the middle of the field, "This Hong Daoyi still has some skills. ”

"If you don't have some skills, you can't stand in the prime minister's mansion for many years. He is responsible for the good luck and evil of the prime minister's office, and the responsibility is really heavy. "The gate overseer.

"But when Ning Xu was about to have an accident, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion......" Lime pointed meaningfully, "What a despicable villain." ”

The gate supervisor was noncommittal, and changed the subject, "I don't know how long Lian Yi is going to play......

"Everyone knows that this 'Beidou Exploration' method is unfathomable, but they don't know that the Five Elements Gate actually has a more convenient and accurate method. Yin and Yang Dao is a great avenue, looking at the world, can not distinguish the subtlety, but the Five Elements Gate just pays attention to this detail, which can be complementary. Therefore, for Hong Daoyi's very difficult to find things, for Lian Yi, who was born in the Five Elements Gate, it is only a blink of an eye. Lime frowned as she spoke, "But the gate supervisor, Lian Yi used to be a person from the Five Elements Gate, we arranged for her to be the gate supervisor of the Astronomical Gate, is it too risky, if someone finds out......"

"Lian Yi is a talent, if it weren't for a man, I'm afraid she would have become our biggest opponent. Now that she can't go back to the Five Elements Gate, since I dare to take her in, I have the confidence to let her sincerely submit to reads;. Through her, we can learn a lot about the secrets of the Five Elements Gate. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not slack off, she may be our secret weapon to deal with the Five Elements Gate in the future. ”

"Yes, sir." Lime nodded.

Shen Man stood on the stage and quietly observed the situation below, of course she had to understand Lian Yi better than the ignorance of others. Although the incident in Chenzhou made Shen Man can't bear to recall it again, although Lian Yi is the real murderer of those people, Shen Man still can't really hate this woman.

Because the real murderer who prompted her to do that qiē was the treacherous man called Yawangzhi.

And Ning Xiang-

Shen Man secretly looked at him, after the old man learned that Ning Xu was dead, white hair grew on his sideburns, and the furrows on his face seemed to have become deeper, and he suddenly became much older. The originally straight back also bent and stiffened overnight. If he knew that the real murderer who killed Ning Xu was in front of him, he didn't know what would happen?

Shen Man closed his eyes, remembering the scene when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning Xiang looked at him without the slightest pity in his eyes. This is still the case for a granddaughter like herself, who has a trace of blood relationship, and for Lian Yi, Ning Xiang is afraid that she wants to peel off her skin and bones.

And she-

Shen Man's eyes slowly turned, fixed on the shadow of the moon's white robe and sassy posture.

Why did she lie that Lian Yi was dead?

The incense burned to the end.

Lian Yi observed Hong Daoyi for a while, felt very bored, and looked back at the gate prison. The gatekeeper looked at her and bowed slightly. Lian Yi smiled easily.

At this time, Xiao Dezi, who was beside the concubine, said, "The contestant is not allowed to communicate with the outfield personnel, otherwise it will be judged as a loss." "This is to avoid cheating considerations. But it is obviously aimed at Lian Yi, because the gate supervisor is here, and Lian Yi, who has the gate supervisor as a backer, if you want to take a shortcut, it is the fastest to let the gate supervisor personally calculate.

Lime was unconvinced and said, "Concubine Ning really didn't save any face today. ”

The gate supervisor pondered for a while and said, "Let the female official of the gate carefully arrange the palace calendar." ”

Lime laughed "poof".

The gate supervisor is really holding a grudge and being careful. This so-called "palace calendar" is the arrangement calendar of the women's bedchamber in the palace, which is generally arranged by the female officials of the palace according to the rank of the concubines in the palace and special days.

The gate supervisor generally doesn't care about such trivial matters, but occasionally he will use this to warn the harem concubines.

With such an advice today, I am afraid that Concubine Ning will not see the emperor a few times next month. Lime silently took pity on Ning Guifei, who had infinite scenery on the stage.

Hong Daoyi's side, he was so anxious that he was sweating, and he tried all kinds of methods on weekdays, but he couldn't succeed anyway today. Looking at the stars and moon reflected in the water, Hong Daoyi's mind became heavier and heavier.

The incense was almost gone, and some of the guests yawned. Two people who were competing, one sitting still, his face covered with sweat; The other stood still, as if admiring the night view.

Hong Dao glanced at Ning Xiang's side, and Ning Xiang's eyes were fierce. Hong Daoyi had no choice but to use the next strategy.

"Qiyu Guifei Niangniang, the grass people have already figured out where Zhu Hai is."

"Oh?" The concubine said, "Where?" ”

Hong Daoyi said, "It seems that the Tianwenmen Gate Supervisor has not yet calculated the results, do the grass people have to wait for her any longer?" ”

The concubine knuckles tapped on the armrest of the chair and muttered, "When this pillar of incense burns out, we will go to the place where you measured to find reads;." If you find it, you win. If it is not found, it is a draw. ”

"Don't wait for the concubine Niangniang," Lian Yi's eyes flashed when she stepped forward, "I have also found Zhu Hai." ”

"Which of you comes first?" The concubine asked.

At this time, Lime said loudly, "Guifei Niangniang, at this time, if anyone says the location of Zhu Hai, it will be unfair to the other party, and Wei Chen Jian yì will write down the location by each of them, and then open it when they find Zhu Hai, and see who the two of them are." ”

The concubine nodded with satisfaction and agreed.

Xiao Dezi put away the addresses of the two of them, let the concubine look at them and put them on the table, two guards went to two places to find Zhu Hai, and the rest of the guests waited in the inner courtyard.

Hong Daoyi and Lime returned to Ning Xiang and Daimun respectively.

Ning Xiangtie's face turned blue, "Why, Master Hong can't calculate Zhu Hai's specific whereabouts?" ”

Hong Dao wiped his sweat and said, "It's me who is incompetent and has failed Xiangye's entrustment." But this time it's really very strange, in the past I have found something smaller than Zhu Hai and there has never been a problem, but this time I didn't even touch the shadow, and in the dark, it seems that there is a force that is hindering me. Xiangye, did you say that it would be the gate supervisor her......

"The old man has been staring at her, and neither she nor the people around her have left a step."

"That's really strange...... Hong Dao thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Fortunately, Xiangye was clever enough to find Zhu Hai early to inform me of my whereabouts, otherwise I am afraid it would not be so easy to pass the test today." ”

"If it weren't for the sake of Xu'er, the old man wouldn't have made this move."

Hong Daoyi can only say yes.

On the side of the gate supervisor, Lime and Lian Yi seemed to be distracted.

Lime remembered the gate warden who had disappeared from time to time a few days ago, and couldn't help but look at the servant on the stage. Shen Man felt the gaze from this side and looked down as well. Lime smiled inexplicably, and under half of the mask, two sharp vortices hung there, sweetly.

There was a shadow in Shen Man's mind, and he always felt that such a sharp vortex seemed to have been seen not long ago, where was it......

Lian Yi stood behind the gate prison and said unconvinced, "It's just that there is no place to sit on the field, come down or not, when will this banquet end?" ”

The gatekeeper said, "When you win, it's over." ”

Lian Yi snorted.

The two soldiers who went out to find Zhu Hai soon returned, and everyone's attention was gathered here again.

The concubine couldn't help but ask, "Found it?" ”

One of the generals said, "Concubine Qi, I have found a vermilion hairpin." Then he took out a handkerchief wrapped in something from his bosom, and put it on the tray by Xiao Dezi and gave it to the concubine.

The concubine opened the handkerchief, her eyes lit up and said, "This is exactly what it is!" ”
