(Girls' literature) are all lobbyists and hosts.

Since the prince had already taken the lead and directly took the initiative to oppose the guest, Mu Xiaofeng glanced at the tall and noble figure, and could only sit down with a faint smile.

However, the fact that she sat down like a stream does not mean that she has the patience to accompany the prince to spend time here.

She half-lowered her eyes, her expression was calm, and she asked very modestly, "I wonder what is the important matter for His Highness to come in a hurry?" Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear. ”

The prince looked up at the darkening sky outside the eaves, but did not greet her politely. With a slight smile, he looked solemn, stared at her with gloomy eyes, and said solemnly, "Time is pressing, and this palace won't talk to you about Miss Mu." ”

Her heart skipped a beat, and the girl raised her eyebrows slightly, but waited with an indifferent smile on her face, "Your Highness, please speak up." ”

The prince glanced at her, his handsome face appeared with a faint look of shame, sighed, and said apologetically, "The negligence of this palace, this matter should have been told to Miss Mu after the worship was over. ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Mu Xiaofeng's heart suddenly tightened, and his clear eyes were also thoughtful.

The lower the prince's posture will be, the more difficult it will be for her to say what she will say.

However, although Mu Xiaofeng had secretly guessed in his heart, he still had an indifferent look on his face, and he only waited for him to listen humbly.

The prince glanced at her quietly, and said, "There is still a night festival tonight, and after the night festival is completed, this worship will be considered a successful end." ”

Mu Xiaofeng looked at him with a smile, looking at her calm and smiling appearance, she was really the most qualified listener.

The prince seemed to have already understood the vicious heart under her smiling face, and the softer and harmless her smile was at this moment, the more hateful he became.

Speaking of this, a faint look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, "Originally, in accordance with my father's will, Mrs. Mu's tablet could enjoy incense in the Hall of Eternal Life for three years, but it was just ...... In tonight's night festival, the palace let the monks in the temple calculate, and they had to be wronged by Mrs. Mu's tablet. ”

He grinded word by word for a long time before he finally said what he meant.

The smile on the corner of the girl's lips seemed to fade, but her attitude was still humble and respectful, she lowered her eyes slightly, and she didn't say much, only repeated, "What do you need the courtiers to do, please let Your Highness make it clear." ”

The prince feigned a light cough, as if to hide the embarrassment caused by his negligence.

"Ahem, it's just to trouble Miss Mu to temporarily invite Mrs. Mu's tablet out of the Hall of Eternal Life at the end of the day," he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mu Xiaofeng, his expression was calm, but his eyes were shining with a faint cold light, "This is only temporary, after the night festival is over, Miss Mu can personally invite Mrs. Mu's tablet into the Hall of Eternal Life." ”

The girl's brows frowned almost invisibly, she looked at the prince with clear eyes, and her soft and beautiful voice seemed to reveal a slight chill of displeasure, "Your Highness is talking about the end of the time?" ”

The prince seemed to be stared at by her clear and clear eyes, and reluctantly avoided her gaze, and said implicitly apologetically, "This palace hereby sincerely apologizes to you for the inconvenience caused by her negligence, and asks Miss Mu to be accommodating." ”

said that he was sincerely apologizing, but in fact, he just sat in the chair without moving, and he didn't give her a little formal hand.

Mu Xiaofeng seemed to be faintly angry, his eyes were cold, and even the smile on his pretty face disappeared. She slanted her eyes over and said very coldly, "Since time is pressing, the courtier will leave for the Hall of Eternal Life now." ”

The prince saw her stand up tensedly, and the shame on his face seemed to be even stronger, "It's all to blame for the negligence of this palace." ”

Saying a sincere euphemistic apology, the prince also stood up.

However, he looked at the girl with an uncertain face, but said quickly, "Please also invite Miss Mu to go to the Hall of Eternal Life and briefly freshen up first." ”

The girl paused to take a step out, frowned slightly and looked back at him, "This is also a monk's request?" ”

In order to be realistic, the prince met her slightly cool gaze, nodded solemnly almost immediately, and then pleaded, "Please cooperate with Miss Mu." ”

Mu Xiaofeng glanced at him with half-lowered eyes, pursed his lips and turned coldly to enter the house again.

The so-called simple grooming, for the sake of solemnity, at least you have to bathe in incense. It would take a quarter of an hour to do this.

After the prince persuaded her to turn back, he did not leave immediately, but stayed in the living room and waited for her.

About two quarters of an hour later, Mu Xiaofeng hurriedly came out, and when he saw that he was still in the living room, he was stunned, "Your Highness is still there?" ”

The crown prince nodded at her, got up and walked out directly, "Time is pressing, please also ask Miss Mu to go to the Hall of Eternal Life with the palace." ”

By this time, it was already completely dark.

Mu Xiaofeng looked at the hourglass, and immediately said quickly, "If Qingruo stays here, Leng Yue will take the lantern and follow me to the Hall of Eternal Life." ”

Since it was a senior monk who had calculated it, she must have to invite her mother's tablet out at the end of the day. If you come out, you have to find a good place to settle it, and when the night festival is over, you can personally invite the tablet back.

After thinking about it, Mu Xiaofeng stared at the tall back walking in front of her and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask when the night festival will end?" ”

In order to be in a hurry, the prince walked at a gallop in front of him, and when he heard this, he only groaned for a moment, and then replied, "Oh, the night festival will take about an hour. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After thanking him, Mu Xiaofeng also fell silent and concentrated on his journey.

When she and the crown prince rushed to the Hall of Eternal Life together, the palace of Nuoda was quiet all around, and only a few guards from the Prince's Mansion stayed near the Hall of Eternal Life. In addition, only the torches they held in their hands emitted bright red flames, illuminating the darkness all around.

Except for a few guards, even Xia Xingshen, the right-hand minister who was ordered to represent the civil and military officials, was not at the scene.

Mu Xiaofeng didn't seem to notice the strangeness, so he only silently cast a meaningful gaze on the prince, and then entered the Hall of Eternal Life under the urging of his gaze.

Just after Mu Xiaofeng's slender figure was submerged in the dark shadow of the inner hall, the crown princess and He Chao also came nearby.

"Mr. He came to the side of the palace," the prince greeted lightly, and then looked at the crown princess with a calm expression, "You enter the Palace of Eternal Life, after all, Mrs. Mu's tablet is specially blessed by the emperor to enjoy the incense inside." ”

The crown princess responded with a soft smile, and then turned around and walked into the Hall of Eternal Life.

Before the prince went to Mu Xiaofeng's courtyard to invite someone, he had briefly mentioned the matter of the night sacrifice to the crown princess, because Mu Xiaofeng was a female dependent, and it was more respectful to let the princess go in and invite Mrs. Mu's tablet out after all.

Although the Hall of Eternal Life is a side hall, because the tablets of the ancestors of the royal family are enshrined in it, and half of it is used to place the incense tower for Changming incense, so this space is naturally very large.

After the crown princess entered the inside, she disappeared for a while.

The prince was outside staring at the slender figure being swallowed up by the cold darkness, and the corners of his mouth seemed to faintly flash a grim smile that was colder than the night.

He looked up at the sky, and then quietly glanced at the guards standing outside the hall with torches.

The corner of his eyes inadvertently swept over He Chao, a staff member standing calmly behind him, and the cold and gloomy color in his eyes instantly became thicker.

The thick and gloomy color that could not be concealed was like the dark clouds hanging low in the sky overhead.

He silently counted in his heart very rhythmically: one, two, three, four...... Ten.

Just when he was silently reciting ten in his heart, there was a sudden sound of "crackling" like a thunderbolt on a sunny day above his head.

Almost all the people standing outside the hall were shocked by the muffled sound of sudden falling into the sky. In the thick and gloomy darkness that was almost suffocating, only the corners of the prince's lips pulled out a strange and eerie cold arc at an angle that no one could see.

While everyone looked up in fright, almost no one noticed that the Hall of Eternal Life, which was engulfed in darkness, also made a muffled sound.

Mu Xiaofeng and the crown princess were both in the Palace of Eternal Life, but Leng Yue was stopped outside the palace by the prince because of his identity.

So when everyone outside the hall was almost shocked by the thunder, Mu Xiaofeng was holding Zhao Ziyue's tablet in the hall with both hands and holding it to his chest.

Out of the inner hall where the tablets were placed, there was a long passage outside, and the passage was dimly lit, and it was uncertain with the wind that poured in from time to time.

Outside the hall, when the thunder in the sky fell, Mu Xiaofeng was holding Zhao Ziyue's tablet and walked to the front of the passage.

But almost at the same time, a muffled "crackle" fell in the hall.

The crown princess was so shocked that she stumbled under her feet, and accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt for a while, and was tripped and fell to the ground.

When Mu Xiaofeng heard the unusual muffled sound, her heart first beat violently, and when she heard the sound of the crown princess falling, she subconsciously looked back.

"Crown Princess, are you okay?"

She was still holding the tablet in her hand, and although she asked with concern, she hadn't turned back directly to support the princess.

However, at the moment when she turned her head to ask, the passage where the candle flame was flickering and extinguishing suddenly changed.

I don't know if the wind outside was too strong, or the thunder and vibration that fell on the roof of the hall just now was too great, but in the Hall of Eternal Life, the long passage that was not spacious and bright actually ignited a fire in the blink of an eye.

It was still a fire that burned like a raging flame in an instant at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The crown princess, who fell to the ground and was clumsily trying to stand up on her own, was stunned for a moment when she saw such a dazzling flame in front of her.

She stared at the tongue of fire that swept like an angry dragon in a stupid position with one elbow on the ground.

Before Mu Xiaofeng could react, the pitch-black and gloomy sky outside suddenly "smacked", and an extremely dazzling light tore open a hole in the thick black curtain.

And the dazzling and cold light like the silver snake actually penetrated the darkness in the hall, as if it was pulled by an invisible thread, and directly cruised towards Mu Xiaofeng.

Almost everyone stared blankly at the extremely bright and piercing long silver snake, as if entering a no-man's land and drilling straight into the Hall of Eternal Life.

At this time, the people outside did not seem to know that a fire had burned in the temple.
