Fuji City, Fuji King's Mansion Thousand Armor Building.

Donglin was lying in a bedroom on the second floor, with the bed facing the window, and she looked out through the large open window, and she could see that the summer in the vine city had quietly ended, and the leaves seemed to have turned golden overnight.

"Princess, it's time to take medicine." Bai Zhilu pushed open the door and walked in with a tray with a medicine bowl. She no longer calls Dong Lin the Queen Mother, and the people in the entire Vine King's Mansion call Dong Lin the Vine Princess, and Bai Zhilu followed the customs.

"Where's the prince?" Donglin sat up with his body propped up.

"The prince is not in the mansion."

Bai Zhilu put the tray on the table, picked up the medicine bowl and walked to the bed. She stirred the medicine bowl with a soup spoon, wanting to make the medicine cooler, and when Bai Zhilu finished mixing the medicinal juice, she scooped it up and wanted to feed Donglin to take medicine, but Donglin thanked Bai Zhilu for his kindness. She reached out and took the medicine bowl herself, and drank it all with a glance.

"The princess looks much better." Bai Zhilu took the medicine bowl and said sincerely.

Dong Lin nodded, she was still worried about the prince, so she asked Bai Zhilu again: "Do you know what the prince did when he left the mansion?" ”

"It's not because of the last time we were assassinated, the prince has been investigating the people behind the scenes these days." After Bai Zhilu finished speaking, he flattened his mouth, and the expression on his face carried a hint of grievance, "The prince doesn't seem to believe what the princess said." ”

Hearing this, Dong Lin's face immediately darkened, her brows frowned slightly, and her tone was full of loss: "I have told him so many times, the person behind the scenes must be Ji Cheng, but he doesn't believe it at all......"

"After all, the prince and the emperor are father and son. The prince also needs time to accept the truth, what father would believe that his son can make such a retrograde act as killing his mother?! What father doesn't want his son to be a good ......"

Dong Lin waved her hand to stop Bai Zhilu's words, she looked tired and didn't want to talk anymore.

At dinner time. The vine king finally returned home. He was busy for a day, but the more he investigated, the more he felt that he had no clue, and after returning home, he didn't eat, and went directly to the martial arts arena, wanting to sweat a little to vent his unhappiness.

At this time, Shen Hua came with a letter.

"Lord Wang, it's a reply from the prince." Shen Hua stood on the edge of the martial arts arena. Holding a sealed bamboo tube in his hand.

When King Fuji heard this, he immediately threw away the sword in his hand, and he walked to the edge of the martial arts arena. Reached out and took the bamboo tube.

There was only one note in the bamboo tube, and there were few words on it, but after King Fuji read the note, his brows slowly stretched.

"Lord Wang. What did the prince say? Shen Hua stepped forward.

King Teng handed the note to Shen Hua: "Cheng'er said." He did not send the assassins who assassinated the princess. ”

Shen Hua looked at the note in his hand and nodded: "According to the character of the prince, if the person is really sent by him, he will not deny it." ”

"Indeed." King Teng pointed to the note in Shen Hua's hand, "Send this note to the princess, I really don't want the gap between their mother and son to get bigger and bigger." ”

Shen Hua nodded, put the note back into the bamboo tube, and turned to leave. But as soon as he took two steps, the voice of Lord Vine came from behind him.

"Shen Hua."

"Lord Wang." Shen Hua turned around and looked at Fujiwang Ji Lang respectfully.

"You said that the princess read this note. Will you trust the city? ”

Listening to the prince's question, Shen Hua was stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his head in embarrassment: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Ji Lang waved his hand: "That's it, you go." ”

Shen Hua sent the bamboo tube containing the note into Dong Lin's bedroom, Dong Lin only said one word after reading the note, and there was nothing else to say, but his face was really ugly and amazing.

After Shen Hua went downstairs, Bai Zhilu walked into the room: "Princess, what is Shen Hua doing?" ”

When Dong Lin heard this, he directly threw the bamboo tube in his hand to the ground.

Bai Zhilu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, the note in the bamboo tube was still there, Bai Zhilu took out the note and read it, and a sneer appeared on his face in just a moment: "What does it mean that the prince sent this?" ”

"What else does it mean, he already decided in his heart that the people who assassinated us were not from Himejo." Dong Lin's face turned crimson with anger, her fingers grabbed the soft pillow on her side, and her palms clenched into fists.

"Just by virtue of a note that the emperor flatly denied and refused to admit to killing?" Bai Zhilu's face was surprised, and his tone was really exaggerated, "Lord Wang, this is too hasty!" What murderer would admit to being a murderer?! Did you write to ask the emperor if you were the murderer, or the way the prince helped the princess find the murderer? ”

Bai Zhilu's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Donglin became even more angry.

"I have told the prince so many times that Ji Cheng is the murderer, and the prince doesn't believe it! Ji Cheng only said once that he hadn't done it, and the prince believed it! Have I been wounded in vain? What I have suffered has passed so lightly? Dong Lin's eyes were red, with a hateful expression, and his eyes were full of unwilling light.

"Princess......" Bai Zhilu sighed, slowing down his tone, "If you want me to say, do you have to try another way, this prince's heart is obviously on Ji Cheng's side, so don't follow it." ”

When Dong Lin heard this, he coughed up a mouthful of blood: "What did you say?!" ”

"Princess?!" Bai Zhilu was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to give Donglin a good breath, and then reached out to catch Donglin's pulse, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's the dirty blood that presses the heart, and it's good for the body to spit it out." ”

Dong Lin's face was full of tiredness, she didn't want to say anything more, and waved her hand at Bai Zhilu: "You go out first, let me stay by myself for a while." ”

"Okay." Bai Zhilu's face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly turned around and went out.

As soon as the door was closed, Bai Zhilu lay on the door and listened to the movement. There was no sound in the house at first, but just as Bai Zhilu was about to give up, Donglin's cry slowly came out of the door.

Raising his eyebrows, Bai Zhilu showed a bright smile on his face and turned to leave.

On the first floor of Qianjia Building, King Teng was pacing back and forth in the hall, and Shen Hua stood in front of him with his head bowed.

"What is the princess's reaction?"

"It's ugly." Shen Hua paused. Fu said, "The princess seems to disagree with the prince's defense. ”

"She doesn't believe it, does she?"

Shen Hua nodded: "According to the observation of the slaves, the princess seems to have decided that the murderer is the prince." ”

Fujiwang Himero sighed. Looking up in the direction of the stairs: "I'll definitely find out who is behind this." ”

As soon as King Teng's words fell, a slightly hoarse voice came from the staircase: "The prince doesn't need to check, I believe that the prince is." ”

As soon as the words fell, Dong Lin swayed and walked down the staircase handle with his still unclear body.

"Princess......" King Teng was startled, and immediately stepped forward to support the princess: "You are not in good health, why did you get out of bed." ”

"Can I see the prince if I don't get out of bed?" A wry smile appeared on Dong Lin's face, "It's been a long time since the prince came to see me. Even sending a letter has to be faked by someone else's hand, is the prince ready to see me again again? ”

"That's not what the king meant." A look of apology flashed on Ji Lang's face, "It's not that I didn't mean to see you......"

Fujio lowered his head. His ears and temples have already appeared gray at some point, the bottom of his eyes is blue and black, the corners of his eyes are full of fine lines, and he is in a hurry with twilight, he is no longer young. Even the decades-old fortitude on that face seemed to fade as he grew old.

"You're just trying to avoid me." Winter Lin sighed. The arrow wound on her body had not yet healed, and the wound on her back had been torn open again by holding on to the handrail, and the pain of the tear had made her face pale and her body shaky.

"I'll help you back." King Teng held Dong Lin's arm, his eyes were distressed, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let go of the person who hurt you." ”

Winter Lin pushed away the vine king's hand. Originally, when she came downstairs, she wanted to talk softly to the vine king, and wanted to reconcile with the vine king. But now seeing the affection in King Teng's eyes, Dong Lin couldn't help but ask again: "You really don't believe me?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you don't believe in our son." King Teng frowned slightly, his eyes were full of helplessness, "That kid in the city grew up under your knees since he was a child, you should know his temperament no better, although he has been bold since he was a child, and he never plays cards according to reason, but whenever he says he didn't do it, he must not have done it." ”

"Huh." Dong Lin sneered, "Lord Wang, don't talk like Cheng'er never lies, haven't you seen him lie to you?" ”

"Cheng'er won't lie to you and me, he said that he didn't do it, then he definitely didn't do it."

"Then he usurped the throne and rebelled, and led the Teng army north to besiege the capital, did you agree?" The cold light in Donglin's eyes was shining, she leaned against the handrail of the stairs, and her small body instantly burst out with huge strength, "Ji Lang! Don't keep looking at the city like a child! He's not too young anymore, he's not the good son who obeys you all day! He's doing so much behind your back! ”

The vine king did not refute Donglin's words, but just stood there and looked at her quietly. The vine king's vision was deep and dim, and it seemed that there was something that he wanted to say and stopped, and he didn't say anything.

Dong Lin was stunned for a moment, her black and white eyes looked straight into the eyes of the vine king, and after a while, Dong Lin suddenly figured out something, she subconsciously shook her head: "Could it be that Cheng'er usurped the throne and seized power, it was you who instructed it?" ”

"I didn't give it, but I did." King Fuji showed a trace of guilt in his eyes, but the object of this guilt was not to Donglin, but to Ji Cheng.

"I was trying to force Su Moxin to hand over the antidote to save you, and I pretended to raise an army to rebel, this plan has been planned for so many years, and Cheng'er is in it, but he doesn't know that all this is just an illusion to ask for an antidote, and when all the truth is revealed, Cheng'er is not easy to ......"

"So although you don't agree with Cheng'er on the surface, you actually indulge him secretly......" Donglin squinted his eyes and looked at him as if he didn't know King Fuji, "I'll just say, without your secret permission, how could the Fuji army be at the disposal of Ji Cheng." ”

"I just want to make life easier for the city, if the throne can make him feel comfortable......

"You allowed your own son to usurp the throne as the emperor, but when I asked you to go to the capital, you told me......" Dong Lin paused, stared at the eyes of the vine king Ji Lang, and said word by word, "But you told me, rebellious ministers and thieves, you don't want it!" ”

"That's the truth."

"Yes, it's true." Dong Lin sneered twice, "You can tolerate whatever Ji Cheng does, and I only went to the capital to be the queen mother for two days, and you didn't even give me a letter back, I am not as good as your flesh and blood in your eyes after all......"

"Winter is coming!" King Fuji's brows furrowed, "These are two different things. ”

Dong Lin snorted coldly, turned around and walked upstairs with a humming staircase. King Fuji stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching Donglin's figure walk away little by little, he could only frown and say nothing, his eyes full of unsolvable sadness.

"Don't worry too much, the princess is a smart person, write her time, she will figure it out." Shen Hua comforted King Teng on the side.

King Teng nodded, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Hua: "I'll write a letter to Ji Cheng later, you take the letter to the capital, be sure to bring Ji Cheng back to me." ”

Shen Hua was really taken aback when he heard this, and he asked King Fuji for a while: "What does the prince mean to let the prince return to Fuji City?" ”

King Fuji nodded: "You have to go to this matter in person, and bring the letter to the city in person, if you only go to the letter, I'm afraid that Ji Cheng will pretend not to see the letter and won't come back to see me." ”

Shen Hua nodded when he heard this: "The slave will definitely bring the prince back." ”

On the outskirts of the capital, Zigu Peak.

This season is the most beautiful season of Zigu Peak. Autumn is an invisible paintbrush, just a light sweep, and the intoxicating golden color of the mountains and fields is achieved.

There is a road at the foot of Zigu Peak, which is paved with stone slabs and leads to the temple halfway up the mountain. The road is lined with trees, and in summer it is a shaded boulevard, and in autumn when the leaves have fallen, the stone pavement is covered with golden leaves.

Chu Heng stepped on the fallen leaves, listened to the sound of creaking and creaking leaf veins breaking under his feet, and walked all the way to the halfway point of this Zigu Peak.

She stopped outside the temple and looked up at the temple in front of her. The vermilion wall is tiled, the eaves are hung at the corners, and the temple door is covered with a black plaque covered with traces of wind and rain erosion, and the handwriting is still clearly legible.

"Longheng Temple."

The reputation of Longheng Temple is not as good as the White Horse Temple in the capital, nor is it as good as the Qingyu Temple in the west of the capital, he is not a Bodhisattva Buddha nor a Taoist real person, but the mountain god land of Zigu Peak, Longheng Xiaoxian.

Xu is because it is dedicated to the mountain god, although the area of this Longheng Temple is not small, you can't find much sesame oil money, and the temple is naturally cold.

Compared with other mountain temples, Longhuan Temple is more than a little stronger. This is all because of the legend that there was a high monk who flew in the day in this temple, so although there are not many believers in this temple, there are really a lot of monks who come to place orders.
