Chapter 72: Discovering the Truth

The banquet has been over for two days, and Li Anyue has not seen Shenyue Haoqing in Changchun Palace again, but Concubine Xian will muttered from time to time, worrying about whether something will happen to him. Concubine Xian naturally has Biyun by her side, Li Anyue doesn't need to worry about it, she just needs to play with Shenyue Haozhe, and she gradually understands the boundaries of Biyun, as long as she doesn't get too close to Concubine Xian, she basically won't step on Biyun's cordon.

"Mother, Zhe'er wants to go to the prince's mansion to see the fourth brother." While having lunch, Shenyue Haozhe said to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then the concubine will go and talk to your father, let's go with you, I'm also a little worried about your fourth brother's situation." ”

Shenyue Haozhe hurriedly shook his head like a rattle when he heard this, "My father is busy with business, so don't disturb my father!" ”

Concubine Xian touched his head, "Zhe'er is really sensible, but in this case, the mother concubine will not be able to go with you." ”

Shenyue Haozhe shook his head and said sensibly, "It's okay, anyway, Zhe'er is going to the fourth brother, and it's okay if the mother concubine doesn't accompany him." ”

"In that case, let Luzhu or Ziyu accompany you."

shook his head like a rattle again, "No, let's let them stay in the palace to help the concubine, anyway, Sister An Yue is clumsy, and she can't help the concubine in the palace, just let her accompany me!" ”

Li Anyue's hands shook when she heard this, and she almost spilled the tea in her hand. Concubine Xian glanced at her and nodded in agreement, "If you don't let Luzhu go with you anymore, many concubines are more at ease." ”

Shenyue Haozhe thought about it and nodded, "Well, okay, then I won't be bored anymore." ”

When Luzhu heard that he was going to the prince's mansion, he was overjoyed and pulled Li Anyue to look forward to the situation of the palace, but Li Anyue was very helpless, because she was not completely relieved of the previous things, originally he didn't enter the palace, and she didn't have to see him, but she felt a lot more relaxed, but now she still can't avoid going to see him.

The palace was not far from the palace, and it would only take a little more than half a pillar of incense for the three of them to pass by carriage. Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and the guards at the gate saw that it was the carriage of the twelve princes and immediately invited them in.

The palace is not as magnificent or cold as Luzhu imagined, in addition to being more spacious than ordinary people, the walls are much higher than ordinary people's, and there are guards guarding the door wearing official mansions that can't be moved, and I can't find any difference from ordinary people.

"Sister Luzhu, why is there no one in the palace?" Li Anyue stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time, and found that except for the four guards standing at the door, he really couldn't even see a figure since he entered the palace, not even a maid or attendant, it was like entering a deserted house, just a clean and clean deserted house.

"I don't know, Ziyu used to accompany the prince over, and it was the first time I came to the palace, and I always felt different from what I imagined." Green bamboo is also worried.

Li Anyue remembered the beautiful imagination of the green bamboo along the way just now and couldn't help but want to complain, isn't it different, it's completely opposite, okay!

"Don't look like there's no one here, in fact, there are people all around, but you can't see it." Shenyue Haozhe said to them proudly.

"Can't see? Your Highness, don't scare the slaves and maids in this daylight......" Lu Zhu shrank behind Li Anyue with a look of fear when he heard this.

Shenyue Haozhe sighed helplessly, "Sister Luzhu, you are really cowardly. I'm not talking about that, it's ......" Kamitsuki Haozhe motioned for the two of them to lean down, leaned over to their ears and whispered, "Dark Guard." ”

"Dark Guard?" Green Bamboo shouted out in a lost voice.

Shenyue Haozhe looked at Li Anyue and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "It's the guards in the dark, you can't see them, but they can see us." ”

"So amazing?" Li Anyue remembered those ninjas who used to watch Japanese anime. "But, why isn't there a single subordinate in the prince's mansion?"

"Yes, there's not one there." Shenyue Haozhe pointed to the distance.

Li Anyue blocked the sun with his eyes with his hands, and sure enough, he saw a man in a dark green robe walking over quickly, his posture was a little ...... Strange, like a woman.

"Twelve princes, you can come, the prince is waiting for you in the back room." Xiao Wuzi happily pulled Shenyue Haozhe inside, leaving Luzhu and Li Anyue messy in the wind.

"An Yue, that one just now seems to be a father-in-law, right? How can there be a father-in-law in the prince's mansion? Is it really like the rumors, the prince likes ...... No, no, no, probably not. Luzhu hurriedly drove away the thoughts in his mind and walked into the house.

Li Anyue also patted her head a little depressedly, according to the previous signs, the prince will definitely like women, but it is not ruled out that it is bisexual.

Li Anyue was also taken aback by his thoughts, and hurriedly walked in, but bumped into a person head-on.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Li Anyue hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

"I'm sorry." The person who came also apologized to her.

Li Anyue looked up and saw a young man in a black brocade shirt standing in front of him, the two glanced at each other, were stunned for a moment, and both said "ah" together in the next second. However, the different reactions of the two people were that as soon as Li Anyue wanted to call out his name, he ran away.

"Qinghong?" Li Anyue remembered that he was Shen Yue's scholar, but when they met before, he was wearing an ordinary green shirt, but now he has changed to a black brocade robe, just like a guard, but why is he here? Will Shen Yue be here too? Li Anyue ran away when he saw him, and he didn't have time to think so much so he chased after him.

Qinghong had a bitter face, she thought it was strange, how could the prince suddenly say that he wanted to check whether his painting had progressed, but he didn't expect that he had just sent himself out and ordered himself to go to the courtyard, but when he smashed out the door, he bumped into Li Anyue, and now it seems that he was put on the throne again! Qinghong knew that Li Anyue would do light work, but he didn't expect Li Anyue's light skills to be so good, he just fell into the small courtyard, and Li Anyue's call came later, and he could only speed up his pace and flash out the back door.

"Qinghong!" Li Anyue saw the corner of his clothes disappear at the door, and was about to chase him out, but suddenly had a strange feeling. She looked around and felt a little familiar. This is a gravel path...... That little door......

"Where is this? Your home? ”

"Sort of, be quiet, follow me."

……

"Are you the only one living in this courtyard?"

"Well, I don't like to be disturbed, I only let them stay in the outer courtyard, and no one is allowed to come in without my permission."

"Rich people are really different."

"Would you like to visit this rich family's house?"

……

She remembered that this was the place where Shen Yue had brought her on the night she had encountered the Assassins, and this was the ...... Is it the Qingning Palace? Li Anyue looked at the room, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the door and walked in.

On the left-hand side stands a screen with a pattern sewn with gold thread, separated by a study, and on either side stands a tall bookcase with various kinds of porcelain and some delicate small boxes. Even the Qingshui Jade Guanyin was still placed in the same place. Li Anyue's mind was a little confused, she looked around to check the decoration in the house, it was exactly the same as what she saw that day, and the longer she stayed, the clearer her memory became.

"This ......" Li Anyue's eyes were attracted by a rectangular brocade box on the desk. It was a mahogany box, about the length of Li Anyue's arm, and the four corners of the lid were carved with fine iron, and it was not locked.

Li Anyue thought about it for a while and decided to open it. As soon as the lid was lifted, with a "bang", the contents slipped out uncontrollably and fell to the ground, Li Anyue hurriedly bent down to pick it up under the table, but was stunned all of a sudden.

These things...... What fell out were two masks, one black and one white, with a touch of bright red painted on the corners of their eyes, which were the masks worn by Shen Yue and her on the day of the Lantern Festival.

"Shen Gongzi, give me back the veil."

"Put it on."

"Don't you think we look like black and white?"

"Black and white? Ha ha. ”

……

"Wherever you are, I'll find you."

……

At the same time, Li Anyue also fell out of the veil that was taken by Shen Yue that day, and he still kept these things, but why is he here, this is Shen Yue's home, but it is in the Qingning Palace. Li Anyue stood up and put the mask on the table, and saw that there were countless scrolls stacked neatly in the box, so he took out one of them and opened it to see.

A woman wearing a white gauze dress with a goose yellow tassel belt around her waist stood at the water's edge and looked at the reflection in the water, and the face reflected on the water surface was Li Anyue. This is one of the paintings she sold before. Li Anyue's heart moved, so he poured all the scrolls in the wooden box on the ground, and spread them out one by one to look at them.

Smiling, contemplative, sitting, standing, water's edge, in the flowers...... The picture scroll is all Li Anyue's appearance. These portraits are all paintings sold by Li Anyue and Su Mufeng. She had never asked where Su Mufeng's portraits were, but she never thought that these portraits would be here, and whether the person who bought them was Shenyue Haoqing or Shenyue?

Li Anyue squatted on the ground, combing through the clues in her mind over and over again. At that time, he asked Shen Yue if this was his home, and he only said vaguely at the time, "Sort of", but now it seems that this is the Qingning Palace, so what is the relationship between Shen Yue and the King of Qingning?

"Shen Yue...... Shenyue Haoqing...... Shen Yue...... Shenyue ...... Is it ......?"
