He opened his eyes slightly, and the cold moonlight fell on his huge black pupils, which were faint and treacherous, like an endless dark sea.

"Your Highness?" Shuangbai's eyes lit up, he followed Baili Chu after leaving the division at a young age, and he was naturally very familiar with His Royal Highness.

"Hmm." Baili Chu slowly supported his body to do it, and Shuangbai immediately went up to help his master up according to the old routine, and skillfully touched the sides of Bai Lichu's forehead with his fingertips, and gently rubbed his temples.

"Where is that little white guy now?" Baili Chu sat cross-legged while closing his eyes to recuperate, although now that Aze fell asleep, he woke up much faster and easier than before, but every time he woke up, he still felt quite tired, and his face was not very good.

Shuangbai thought for a while: "When his subordinates came over, Lord Qiu had just been taken away by the inner guards of the celebrant prison, and the Queen Mother Lafayette would not let Lord Qiu leave the palace before the trial, that is, this son would not go to the edict for the time being, he should be locked up in the torture room, and his subordinates have already let people follow, and there will be definite news soon." ”

Bai Lichu stretched out his hand and half-supported his beautiful chin, and said casually: "Well, let people star, don't let the little ones make trouble, but you don't have to meddle in the affairs between the old woman and Xiaobai." ”

Shuangbai was stunned: "Your Highness? ”

Not to mention that there are any other young people who will do something to Lord Qiu, the person who doesn't want Lord Qiu to live the most, and the person who wants the account book the most is the Queen Mother Lafayette, but at this time, His Royal Highness doesn't let them meddle in the affairs between Lafayette and Autumn Leaf Bai?

Baili Chu snorted faintly: "If you don't have a big belly, you can't eat much, since she dares to break into the palace and cause such a wave, she has her own plans when she thinks about it, why should the palace stop her and be a bad person?" ”

His Royal Highness's faint and cold voice, how terrible it sounds, Shuangbai feels that it is full of hidden mysteries and ill intentions.

Shuangbai was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Your Highness, then you plan to never come forward?" ”

Baili Chu said lazily: "To be a visitor is a visitor, it is rare for Xiaobai to take the initiative to come, as the host, of course, you must entertain the guests well, this palace does not come forward, will it not disappoint Xiaobai." ”

Shuangbai looked at Baili Chu and didn't know what to think, as if he unconsciously stretched out the tip of his bright red tongue and licked the corners of his pale lips, bent that shallow smile, as if a powerful predator had thought of something delicious, and was ready to skin and tear off the delicious lamb delivered to the door, and suck his intestines and brains, which inexplicably made people feel extremely frightened.

He sighed silently in his heart, if you appear, Akiba Bai will be disappointed.

He always felt that this time Qiu Yebai broke into the palace single-handedly, setting off such turbulent waves, quite the style of the top assassin in the pre-Qin period, it was the dynasty with the closest connection between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, and it was also a turbulent dynasty, which made him inexplicably admire in his heart.

If Autumn Leaf Bai was alone in this palace, he might be able to get out of the way, but His Royal Highness, the 'spectator', would disrupt the situation......

He felt that this matter had to go to a place where he didn't know the direction, and His Highness would not stop if he didn't stir things up.

What the final outcome will be, no one can predict.

……*……*……*……

The dormant 'living Buddha' at this end of the temple is ready to make waves, and the Pingyun Hall is not calm either.

"Eighth Highness, Lafayette has a will, you have been inconvenient recently, and you have been injured for the country, which really makes her old man feel distressed, so in the next few days, you will recuperate in the temple, Lafayette let our family lead the inner guards to guard this Pingyun Hall for you, and you will keep a fly that can't fly in."

After the middle-aged eunuch in a red-clothed embroidered unicorn pattern flying fish suit asked Qiu Yebai to take Qiu Yebai away, he did not leave immediately, but looked at the expressionless Baili Ling Feng and smiled coldly, his sharp voice paused, and it was faintly long: "Save it, it bothers you to recuperate." ”

Ping Ning was in a cold sweat when he heard it on the side, and couldn't help but step forward and say with a smile: "Duke Zheng, how can His Royal Highness hold a ceremony to seal the king in a few days...... Don't let people in? ”

Zheng Jun's delicate eyes flashed like a snake, and he said sarcastically: "His Royal Highness is not feeling well, what kind of king ceremony is being held, naturally it is when His Royal Highness's body will be better, and when will he talk about this matter again." ”

Ping Ning was shocked and said in disbelief: "But this is the will of His Majesty......." ”

Zheng Jun glanced at him impatiently: "Your Majesty is sick in bed, His Royal Highness is not in the palace at the moment, Lafayette's will is His Majesty's will!" ”

After that, he looked at Pingning again and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Xiao Pingzi, you have followed His Royal Highness for so many years, born and died, so that you have today's creation, and it is also the blessing you cultivated in your previous life, just don't lose all your blessings, you have time to persuade the master to cultivate your self-cultivation, and you will have your good in the future." ”

After Zheng Jun finished speaking, he snorted contemptuously, turned around and led the inner guard away.

Ping Ning knew that this was a naked warning, and by warning him to warn His Royal Highness, his face was red and white for a while, and he sighed secretly, but still said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Waiting for the guards to leave, Ping Ning was a little afraid to imagine the expression of his highness.

The bird that flew into the net put it together, and then flew away, not to mention, even the identity that was originally hidden behind the scenes was revealed by the other party, and even the glory of being crowned king because of injuries and exploits was canceled, it was simply .......

Autumn Leaf White, that mourning star, is better off living than dead in the edict of the celebrant eunuch!

But after Ping Ning cursed viciously in his heart, he still had to go to see his master, but he saw that although his master's expression was unusually gloomy, it was completely different from the feeling of the sun on weekdays, but his master seemed to be ...... Idle?

"Your Highness Eight?" Ping Ning looked around, and everyone else lowered their heads, where did they dare to look at their master's face, Ping Ning was helpless, so he could only call carefully.

"It's his revenge." Baili Lingfeng seemed to suddenly understand something, and snorted lightly.

Ping Ning didn't know what His Royal Highness's sudden sentence meant, so he could only step forward and help his master sit down, looking at him a little blankly: "Huh? ”

Like the dazzling sunlight, Baili Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said mockingly: "Qiu Yebai is taking revenge on me, can't you see it, since he received the letter I asked the people of the Thirty-six Waterways to leave her, he has been planning revenge on me, no, or since I asked Mo Su to attack him, or even earlier to involve him in the Huainan case, he didn't intend to let me be left alone." ”

This is a conspiracy, that person's coming and going today is more like a kind of announcement, announcing that he is not easy to provoke, and those who want to fight the idea of hiding the Sword Pavilion must pay a huge price.

Ping Ning listened to his master change his title, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his own master almost never regarded himself as the prince and the master of a palace in the army on weekdays, and ate and slept with the soldiers, and in such a frustrated situation today, His Royal Highness can use such a self-title, it can be seen that His Royal Highness's anger at the moment is not as hot as they imagined.

"Your Highness, Autumn Leaf Bai is too hateful, and the celebrant also has one of our people, do you want to ......." Ping Ning gestured with a knife on his neck, and said ruthlessly.

Baili Lingfeng shook his head, a gloomy look flashed in Lang's eyes, revealing a shallow smile, recovering his usual brilliance: "No, plan and then move, this time the palace is a bad move, if you lose, you will lose, this person dares to be so unscrupulous, there must be more than you and me who want his life, not to mention, maybe it will be useful to him in the future." ”

This time, it was he who underestimated the enemy and underestimated this person, but since the situation is now deadlocked, according to this person's wisdom and style, if he does not die, he will become a great weapon in the future.

"But Your Highness, if this person takes refuge in Lafayette......." Ping Ning was slightly worried.

Baili Lingfeng leaned on the recliner and said meaningfully: "If you want to get something from the Lord of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, you will definitely pay an unexpected price, this price is that His Royal Highness has lost the opportunity to be crowned king, I really want to see what Lafayette will lose." ”

The man in the rivers and lakes with white autumn leaves is definitely not a person that Lafayette can control, there is no reason for him to suffer alone, but Lafayette can swim well.

After all, the person who most directly deprived him of the throne and caused him to work hard for many years before he had the opportunity to leave the palace was his beloved grandmother.

Pingning heard the debut now, His Royal Highness the Eighth is planning to use Qiu Yebai's hand to block Lafayette, but ......

"What if Akiba is dead?" Pingning still thinks that Lafayette has been immersed in the court for many years after all, and she can get to this day, although the Du family has made great contributions, but she is by no means a simple person, I don't know how many blood relatives have lives in her hands, the so-called most poisonous woman's heart, the woman's ruthless selfish means, and the man's dealings with guns and knives are not the same thing.

Baili Lingfeng picked up the golden osmanthus tea, didn't mind that the tea had cooled down at all, lowered his head and took a sip, and said lightly: "Then die, there is no talent and arrogant waste, there is no more than one person in this world, no less than one person." ”

……*……*……*……*……

Someone who had stirred up half of the palace was walking towards the West Sixth Palace with a calm expression, as if he didn't know that the undercurrent of the entire inner courtyard of the imperial city was turbulent at all.

The inner guards didn't know if it was because this person was also a colleague of the celebrant with a bit of identity, and he didn't use shackles on Akiba Bai, but just held a long knife in his hand and vigilantly surrounded her in the middle, so from a distance, it was a group of inner guards guarding her.

Akiba Bai is also very cooperative, selling the face of his former colleagues, and he doesn't have any attempt to struggle, and moves forward obediently.

It's just that if a top master pays attention, you will find that although Akiba Bai's expression is calm, his lips have been moving slightly.

This is a kind of kung fu that is using the rivers and lakes to transmit sound into the secret.

Beside her, an ordinary-looking eunuch walked forward with a blank face like all the other guards, except for the occasional movement of his lips.

"Si Shao, you are too risky."

The baby reached out and pulled his collar, although this flying fish suit is good-looking and heroic, but when the autumn tiger is raging, it is really uncomfortable to wear it like this.

Qiu Yebai said lightly: "Do you think I want to take risks, there is a traitor within us, and the so-called secret is known by the second person, it is no longer a secret, since Baili Lingfeng can know that I am the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, then we must prepare for the worst - everyone knows my true identity." ”

Her original plan was to advance to Beijing, and then look for a suitable opportunity to use these people in the capital who coveted the throne to turn the tables and make a name for herself, that is, she originally planned to cooperate with Baili Lingfeng or the people behind him.

After all, for the sake of power in the royal family, close relatives can also be killed, not to mention that she is a grass people.

This is the safest plan, she hides under the other party's wings, and does not have to face the storm directly.

But now that Baili Lingfeng has known her true identity, the identity of the Lord of the Hidden Sword Pavilion has become her jealousy, although she is unwilling to admit it...... But the Qiu family has become part of the plan that she must consider, after all, her mother is still at home.

And Baili Lingfeng, like a certain perverted 'Her Royal Highness the Princess', also has a certain inch-inch, aggressive and aggressive characteristics of the Baili Royal Family, so he gave her that 'invitation' without any hesitation, or a coercion letter.

This coercion letter immediately confirmed that she was just guessing that the identity of the person behind Mo Su was a powerful prince, and let her lock on to the target faster.

So on the boat leaving Huainan to return to Beijing, she asked people to check the back of Baili Lingfeng, and at the same time, she thought about it and weighed it, and finally decided on this extremely risky plan.

Compared to being used as a spear by Baili Lingfeng, after the use of it, she simply stood in the center of the storm generously, so that everyone could see her bright large-caliber 'musket', who liked it and wanted it, so she was curious.

"But Si Shao, why don't you provoke Baili Lingfeng?" The baby was a little puzzled, he was responsible for giving the celebrant the 'secret report to the secret envoy and the secret meeting with the Eighth Highness', and he had to worry that the celebrant would not be able to catch up, and the Eighth Emperor was angry and really disadvantageous to the four young people, although he believed in the martial arts of Autumn Leaf White, but the Pingyun Hall was the territory of the Eighth Prince after all.

The corners of Autumn Leaves' white lips slightly hooked up a cold smile: "First, Baili Lingfeng gave me a 'big gift' to ruin my plan, so I naturally want to pay back." ”

But before that, she gave the Eighth Emperor His Royal Highness who ruined her original plan a big 'souvenir', and it just so happened that as soon as she entered the capital, she heard that His Royal Highness was going to be canonized as the king, and she couldn't help but confirm his name as the majestic 'Great General King'.

Therefore, she specially chose him to come to the 'door to visit' a few days before he was crowned king, if at that time, Baili Lingfeng's expression Xiàn could satisfy her, maybe she would change her mind, but unfortunately, Baili Lingfeng is really the same as she originally guessed, and he is not a good partner at present.

Qiu Yebai paused and continued: "Second, not to mention that if you don't let him see some of the true value of your family's four young people, in the future, if you want to cooperate with the other party again, he will show sincerity, in the gamble of power, there will never be an eternal enemy." ”

"But Si Shao, the kind of situation you expect to form is the most ideal state, during this period, there are too many variables, if you are not careful, wouldn't you put yourself in a very dangerous place?" The baby has a bit of a headache, Si Shao's plan today is too risky, it all depends on guessing human nature and deducing the situation, and there is almost nothing to rely on.

"It takes time to find a traitor, but Baili Lingfeng won't leave me time, and the Queen Mother won't leave me time, we don't even know if it's a traitor with only one side, only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves, if you can't prevent it, don't guard against it." Autumn leaves are white, autumn water flashes in his eyes, and a cool and cold color flashes.

"But you're right, I'm gambling, maybe the pain of flesh and skin is insignificant, but ...... Rely on....... A red shadow suddenly flashed in her mind, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked sly: "Maybe it's not nothing." ”

Although the man said that he would not interfere, at least, when the man still needed her blood, he would not let her die.

She used him as a medicine man for nothing, but she was stabbed several times in the neck and wrist, although they were all flesh wounds, it was not too much to make that guy pay a little price at the beginning of Bailichu.

But the baby obviously thought of another person, and hesitated a little: "Si Shao is talking about the national teacher?" ”

Akiba Bai couldn't deny it, but said, "You'll know later." ”

She didn't know why in her heart, she didn't want to drag Yuan Ze into the water, he still recited the scriptures in his Buddhist hall strangely, and was no longer contaminated with these earthly conspiracies.

The baby was silent, he always had a doubt about Yuan Ze in his heart, that monk was too much like another person, the bone shape, and even the length of his fingers, but ...... This is the first time that he is a master of disguise, and it is difficult to judge, because the whole body of a disguiser can be changed, except for a pair of eyes.

Since there is nothing definite, he doesn't want to upset Akiba Bai.

……

Among the six palaces in the west, although the palace of Yongning Palace is not the most exquisite, it is indeed the most Yongning quiet, the red pillars are carved with the words of the crane to celebrate the birthday, in addition to the Qintianjian Temple, that is, the Bodhi tree planted here is the most, and there are two pairs of red-crowned cranes in the yard.

Most of the palace people who come and go are a little older, after all, the Queen Mother Lafayette is used to the old people, and she doesn't like the young palace people to act frivolously.

After the autumn, the doctor said that the queen mother was no longer suitable to live in the cool water pavilion where the water vapor was too heavy, so she moved to Yongning Palace according to the old practice.

"Queen Mother Lafayette, people have been brought here, and now they are outside." Zheng Jun respectfully knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother just woke up from a nap, and was sitting by a delicate Western mercury mirror, asking Mama Dong to comb her hair, as if she hadn't seen Zheng Jun salute, and only looked to the side to finish the medicine box for herself, and said lightly: "Lao Luo, let's see if it's better to use a phoenix hairpin with a little emerald on the head of the mourning family, or this hairpin with red gold Dongzhu?" ”

Mama Dong immediately handed the two hairpins to Luo Yizheng, Luo Yizheng raised his square face, looked at the hairpin in Mama Dong's hand, thought for a moment, but did not take it, but turned around and took a jade green snow hairpin in the dresser and walked behind the Queen Mother, put the hairpin on the bun for her, and smiled: "Weichen thinks that Lafayette's appearance does not need to be decorated with those too gorgeous things, but it robs your brilliance. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Luo Yizheng coldly from the mirror for a moment, and did not speak, but the air seemed to be suddenly cold.

But Doctor Luo didn't seem to notice the displeasure of the Queen Mother Lafayette, and only looked at the mirror and smiled without humility or arrogance.

After a while, the Queen Mother suddenly sighed as if she was a little helpless: "That is, you are the best at complimenting the mourning family, such a person who is half-cut into the ground, is still brilliant and precious, and has no craftsmanship." ”

Luo Yizheng smiled, but he didn't argue much, his eyes were gentle, as if he was looking at a child with a temper: "Lafayette will never grow old in the eyes of Weichen." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and sneered, and didn't say anything more, just reached out and helped the jade hairpin on her bun.

Mama Dong looked at Luo Yizheng's actions, and sighed secretly in her heart, the Queen Mother Lafayette is most disgusted with the people under her in her life, that is, Luo Yizheng can let the Queen Mother take it lightly.

After the Queen Mother finished grooming, she seemed to find Zheng Jun, who was still kneeling behind her, and raised her hand elegantly: "Little Zhengzi, why are you still kneeling, you are also an old man in front of the mourning family, why are you so restrained in front of the mourning family, now you are also a second-class member in the court." ”

Zheng Jun said respectfully: "The slave will always be the slave of the Queen Mother in front of the Queen Mother, and it is natural for the slave to kneel to the master." ”

After saying that, he bowed his head again, and then got up: "Lafayette, the four sons of the Qiu family are already being captured, look at ......." ”

The Queen Mother said lightly: "Let's go to the violent room of Yongning Palace, the edict prison is full of mouths, you go to the edict prison to transfer a few executioners over, don't stick to any means, let that kid spit out things." ”

Yongning Palace used to be the palace where the Queen Mother lived when she was the first queen, and the violent room near the side hall said that it was a palace person who had committed a crime, but in fact it was a micro-shaped edict, and there were not many souls for decades, and all the torture instruments were readily available.

Zheng Jun has followed the Queen Mother for many years, so he naturally knows, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Lafayette, the slave sees that Qiu Yebai is also a hard bone, if he is directly punished, I am afraid that he will be forced to rush him, and the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, but it is not beautiful, why not use the first face the wall?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she glanced at Zheng Jun coldly, and saw that he was still cautious, so she said: "Since this is the case, it is up to you, but three days later at the latest, the mourning family will see something." ”

Zheng Jun said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Then he got up and stepped back.

The important person has been caught, and who is behind the ghost has been found out, the queen mother is naturally in a good mood, so she smiled at Luo Yizheng: "I will accompany the mourning family to the imperial garden for a walk." ”

She paused, and then replied: "Yes, give a message to the child Meisu, the person has already caught him, let him recuperate well, and don't let the injury recur." ”

Luo Yizheng also smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

……

Zheng Jun walked out of the gate of Yongning Palace, looked at Qiu Yebai, who was standing quietly near the palace gate with his hands tied and a knife around his neck, and said coldly: "Go, the violent room faces the wall." ”

Facing the wall?

"Is this a punishment given by Lafayette to the grass people?" Akiba Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in slight surprise.

Thinking about it in the face of the wall, is it also a punishment?

Zheng Jun looked at her, a pair of slender eyes quickly flashed a trace of unknown meaning, and then said mockingly: "Autumn leaves, don't underestimate this wall, try the taste." ”

With that, as soon as he waved his hand, several internal guards escorted Akiba Bai to the violent room near the side hall.

A trace of worry flashed in the baby's eyes, but his status as an internal guard with a disguised appearance now was ordinary, and he couldn't follow it, so he could only watch Akiba Bai being taken away.

After arriving at the storm room, Akiba Bai finally understood what 'facing the wall' was and why 'facing the wall' was also a punishment.

Compared to the punishments such as washing and bowel pumping that are scattered all over the room, this punishment looks quite gentle.

It is to put people in a dark stone room, there is nothing in it, except for the hard and cold ground and the four walls, there are no tables, chairs, benches, beds, not even a window, there is only a place for a bucket in the wall, and when you enter, after closing the stone door, there is an endless darkness.

Don't think that this is a light punishment, the people inside don't know the sun, moon, heaven and earth, they don't know what night it is, they cut off the communication between Yiqiē and the outside world, there is only boundless darkness, and the time is slightly longer, which is enough to drive a person crazy or become a fool.

Akiba Bai looked at the darkness in the room, and knew that this was also a method of torture to extract confessions in his previous life.

She knew that the more panicked she was, the more stress she felt in her heart, but in any case, it was a fairly mild punishment, at least for a martial arts practitioner.

She fumbled her way against the wall and sat down, and began to meditate.
