Dongfang Lingwu and Chu Mi have been away for three days, and this day is the seventh day of the first month, and it suddenly snows heavily. The long-awaited heavy snow fell one after another, but in a moment, the whole land turned white.

Dongfang Du looked at the non-stop snow outside the window, and suddenly asked, "Yun'er, where did you say senior sister?" The two of them had to pass through their fiefdom Jinzhou, go to Youzhou, and then arrive at Wuya Mountain. If it is a fast horse, it can reach the foot of the cliffless mountain in three days, and if it is slow, it should still be halfway at this moment.

Dark Cloud looked at the flying snowflakes and replied, "It's probably still in Jinzhou." Dongfang Lingwu wanted to chase Chu Mi, she also knew, Dongfang Du didn't need Wuyazi to come to help, this was a good time to get along, why should the two of them rush to Wuyashan.

"Yun'er, why don't you accompany me to the Imperial Garden and pick some plum blossom snow." The plum blossoms in the back garden have all bloomed, and you can take this opportunity to pick some snow from the plum blossom trees and make tea. The tea brewed in this way will have a faint touch of plum blossom fragrance in the clear tea aroma.

Just thinking about it, I can't wait to go to the Imperial Garden to pick some snow on the plum blossom tops.

Dark Cloud turned his head to look at Dongfang Du, who was full of interest and wanted to go out to pick snow, and shook his head with a smile: "You are not in good health, don't think about going out of this Fengqing Palace." "Stepping on the snow to find plums, cooking snow and cooking tea, such idle and elegant things, you have to have a good body to do. If you go out and are invaded by this wind and cold, your illness will worsen, and then cause congenital diseases, what should you do?

"Yun'er, just accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk, just stay for a while, pick some plum blossom snow, and come back." Dongfang Du walked over to Dark Cloud, reached out and gently pulled her sleeve, begging.

"If you want to pick plum blossoms and snow, it's enough to let Banlan go." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Banlan who was standing aside, and said jokingly: "Banlan, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of your family wants to cook snow and make tea, you, a personal maid, should you go to the Imperial Garden and pick this plum blossom snow for her?" ”

"Uh......" Banlan turned her head to look at Dongfangdu, and asked her if it was enough to pick some plum blossom snow by herself, or should she be silent and let her go by herself. Seeing that she frowned first, and then raised her eyebrows lightly, I knew what she meant.

"This plum blossom snow, or His Royal Highness the Second Prince to go in person, the status of the slave is low, I am afraid that my hands will dirty the snow and affect the taste of cooking tea." Banlan replied, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Dongfang Du nodding to herself with a smile, she deserved to be her good personal maid, she really understood her mind.

"Do you really want to go yourself?" Dark Cloud saw that Banlan first looked at Dongfang Du's expression before answering himself, knowing that Dongfang Du really wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to pick plum blossoms and snow in person, and there were faint signs of loosening in his heart.

Dongfang Du thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's let Banlan go, it's better for me to stay in Fengqing Palace in peace these days." "The poisoning, the squire of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing have not found the slightest clue so far, so it is better not to walk around and cause trouble for themselves.

After speaking, he turned his head to Banlan and said: "Banlan, it is inconvenient for this palace to leave this Fengqing Palace, you go to pick some plum blossom snow on behalf of this palace, and after boiling, brew a pot of Qingzhou's Longjing after the rain and send it over." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Banlan blessed his body and withdrew.

"Yun'er, you say, how should this poisoning case be concluded?" The squire of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing investigated for three whole days, but nothing was investigated. In the past few days, all the princes have stayed in their own palaces peacefully, and they have hardly taken a step, except for Dongfang Lingwu, who actually got the permission of Emperor Qianwen, and went out of the palace with Chu Mi to Wuya Mountain.

Emperor Qianwen was quite dissatisfied with the expression of the squire of the criminal department and the Dali Siqing, and issued a holy edict, if he could not find anything useful after three days, he would resign directly and go home to farm.

Zhao Hezhang, the squire of the Criminal Department, has been an official for seven years, and he has only been sitting in the position of this squire for a year, and he doesn't want to encounter such a big case, but after careful consideration, he feels that it is safe to resign and go into hiding. This case happened at the night banquet set up by the crown prince for the second prince and the third prince to celebrate the king, and the four princes and princesses were not free from suspicion of this matter. No matter which prince is found to have poisoned them, they will not end well.

Xuan Qiuyu, the secretary of Dali Temple, felt that he was unlucky, he had been an official for ten years, and he had encountered such a case that could not be investigated and could not be withdrawn, but Emperor Qianwen had to let him, the head of Dali Temple, investigate this case, so he could not let officials such as Shaoqing of Dali Temple investigate this case? It is estimated that at this moment, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple will wake up with a smile in his dream, and as soon as he resigns, they will have a chance to rise.

Although it is said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but it is really found out which prince is poisoned, I am afraid that Emperor Qianwen will kill them, not because he does not trust his own monarch, but because he accompanies the monarch like a tiger, the emperor's mind is not something that these courtiers can guess.

If it is found that it has nothing to do with the four princes and princesses, the purpose of the poisoner needs to be investigated, and I really don't know what kind of bad luck has happened, and I have encountered such a bad case on this New Year's Day. And this qiē was only caused by the prince's banquet. You said a good prince, what kind of banquet to set up! Isn't it good to read books in the East Palace and prepare for taking over the throne? This two sets up such a big case!

Dark Cloud pondered for a moment before replying, "I'm afraid this case will not be easy to conclude." "If there is no evidence, the case cannot be determined, if there is evidence, it will be enough to find her here, if you are misled by false clues and find a certain prince, how to decide the case?

In a huge Eastern Qianguo, the imperial family is so withered, how can Emperor Qianwen be willing to let a certain prince die in his own hands? If the courtier is dead, he can make up for it in the imperial examination, and if the prince is dead, how can he have the energy to give birth to another one? For so many years, often coming. Fortunately, the concubines in the harem haven't seen those concubines conceive dragon seeds again!

How to choose, Emperor Qianwen has his own thoughts.

"Yun'er, the squire of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing can't find out this case, it's just a dismissal, so what if the secret guard can't find out this case?" She remembered that the Dark Wind sent by her father, the Dark Wind, was the best friend of Dark Cloud.

Dark Cloud frowned and thought for a moment, and replied, "It depends on your father's intentions. However, this matter may not be hidden from the dark wind. Many of my methods have been learned from the Secret Guard Organization, and if the Dark Wind investigates carefully, it is very likely that it will suspect me. ”

Thinking about it like this, Dark Cloud said: "Du, why don't I send someone to get some half-truths and half-truths to guide the squire of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing to find out about the body of the third prince Dongfang Xu." "The people in the Huangquan Pavilion are not only good at assassination, but also good at gathering intelligence. After many investigations, it was found that Dongfang Xu had an army of 1,000 people in his hands.

These 1,000-strong troops were insignificant compared to the 1.2 million soldiers and horses of the Eastern Qianguo. But if all these thousand people are placed in the palace, it is more than enough to find an opportunity to control Emperor Qianwen and several other princes.

If Dongfang Xi is led to deal with Dongfang Xu, and then he is forced to fight back, when he loses both, he will just take advantage of the fisherman. The crown prince is abolished, and the third prince is also abolished, leaving her and the four princes, if Dongfang Yu can be a big responsibility, it is not impossible to let him ascend the throne, if he is as ruthless as the prince Dongfang Xi, he also has the ability to make him unable to sit on the throne.

After thinking about it, Dongfang Du said to Dark Cloud: "Dongfang Xi is already suspicious of Dongfang Xu, and the most suspicious thing about the night banquet is not me, but his own brother Dongfang Xu, as long as he pushes a little harder, he will definitely attack Dongfang Xu." He was on the throne at the beginning, and with the help of your secret guards, he was able to kill us, but now he has no secret guards, only a group of loyal personal guards are available, and now I also have my own Zhen guard, and he has no chance of winning. ”

Thinking of the dark cloud in front of him again, in order to get rid of the dark guard organization for himself, in the four years since he left, he founded the Huangquan Pavilion, just to protect her alone, her Zhenwei plus the Huangquan Pavilion of the dark cloud, plus the people in the hands of the senior brother Fang Huiting, in this world, she has it at her fingertips. It's just that she can attack Dongfang Xi Dongfangxu, but she can't attack her father, Emperor Qianwen.

She must not do anything to rebel against the rebellion.

Looking at Dark Cloud with gratitude, he said slowly: "Yun'er, you have paid too much for me. "This road should have been walked by herself, but the dark clouds came. If she can be a secret guard for the rest of her life, she won't have to bear so much pain of parting, and she won't have to bear so many unnecessary responsibilities for her.

Dark Cloud just shook his head, "I owe it to you, you don't have to feel guilty." "It's the love she owed in her previous life, and she is destined to pay it back in this life. No, one life is not enough, she has to pay it back with life and life.

"What is there to owe or not, I was willing in my previous life, even if I said those words against my will, I just wanted to be angry with you."

"Then everything I do, I do it willingly, don't talk to me in a guilty tone, if I don't owe you, you don't owe me anything." I just hope that things in this palace are going soon, and they are going to play all over the world.

"Yun'er, have you ever thought about what you should do if my father knows about it and blames you and me?" I was always faintly worried in my heart, afraid that what I had done would be known by my father.

"If I can die with you, I have no regrets." It doesn't matter if they die together, when the time comes, they will go down to the underworld together, walk through the Huangquan Road, cross the Nai He Bridge hand in hand, drink the soup on the Forgotten Table, and write each other's lives and deaths in the reincarnation book, and they will never be separated again.

Dongfang Du hugged the dark cloud into his arms and said with a smile: "You are so stupid, with me, how can I let you die." Even if my father finds out, I will protect you. "In this life, they must live for a long, long time.

She has the ability to seek power and usurp the throne, but she can't let Dark Cloud accompany her to bear the charge of rebellion. Now it's just a tortuous method, even if Emperor Qianwen knows about it, they can leave the capital with their whole body.

Dark Cloud buried his face deep in her chest, speechless with emotion. At this time, Banlan came back covered in wind and snow, still carrying a small copper kettle for boiling tea, and said happily as soon as she entered the door: "Your Highness, the snow is ......" Seeing the two hugging each other, her heart was sad, the two of them are here You and I are nong, she has to brave the wind and snow to pick plum blossoms and snow! It's hard to be a personal maid! After a pause, he continued: "Xue Cai is back, Xiao Anzi will send charcoal fire over in a while, and then His Highness can cook snow and tea in this house." Later, his tone was full of bitterness.
