Back at King Rui's Mansion, it was already dark.

The man walked to the intersection where he usually parted ways with her, but suddenly stopped, and did not mean to move.

Su Ziran walked behind him, and was suddenly blocked by him, and couldn't help but glance at him inexplicably, but he could only see his long figure reflected in his eyes, and the misty moonlight sprinkled down, stretching his shadow obliquely and long, adding a bit of unreality.

Slightly surprised, and was about to speak, but the man turned around suddenly, and the backlit phoenix eyes could not discern the meaning, and he could only vaguely see a rippling ghostly light flickering, as bright as the stars reflecting the moon.

It's just that she didn't hear a voice after waiting for a long time, she frowned: "Isn't the prince still leaving?" ”

In fact, she just wanted to say, wherever you go, don't stand in the middle of this road.

But after listening to her words, I don't know if he misunderstood something, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he asked in an unkind tone: "Where does the princess plan to take this king?" ”

What goes where?

Su Ziran became more and more inexplicable, this is his palace, where is she going to care?

Her eyes wandered, and she thought about it for a long time, before she said half-tentatively and half-mockingly: "Didn't the prince say that he wanted to go back to the Nishang Courtyard?" ”

Hearing this, the man's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, and the corners of his lips were still half-closed, but there was a trace of suppressed anger in his smiling tone: "When did this king say that?" ”

Dare to quibble!

"Before going to the Criminal Department, didn't the prince say that he would explain something to Nishang when he came back?" Su Ziran pursed her lips, with a mocking tone, and calmed down and didn't look into his eyes, "If it's too late today, if the prince doesn't go again, I'm afraid she will have to misunderstand again." ”

The man's eyebrows froze, and the long figure slowly approached her, which was originally the backlight, but now this approach made the light in front of her a little darker, but the expression on his face was clearly reflected.

Su Ziran's eyes flashed, and she instinctively took a small step back.

I don't know why, under this situation, she suddenly thought of the scene when Rong Heng came to see her after being discovered by this man, and he was also slowly approaching her like now, with a half-angry and half-smiling expression like now......

The man finally paused, and the ink-like deep phoenix eyes stared at her for a while, and suddenly leaned close to her ear, and snorted coldly: "That king is as the princess wishes!" ”

Before the words fell, the light in front of her suddenly brightened a little, and when she came back to her senses, the man's back was already a few steps away, and his steps were fluttering, and he left straight.

A good sentence as she wished.

She curled her lips and turned to walk in the opposite direction to the man.

When Xixuan saw her come back, she poured a glass of water and handed it to her: "Has the princess had dinner?" ”

"No, I don't want to eat it."

She waved her hand, and her eyes happened to fall on the red flower that was blooming not far away, and as soon as her heart moved, she walked over, and as soon as her clinker hand touched the stem, she was thorned back.

"Princess, eat a little bit, or slave maid......" Xixuan buzzed over like a bee, and began to preach to her again, but saw a little red overflowing on her index finger, and exclaimed "Ah": "Princess, why are you injured?" ”

Su Ziran stroked her forehead helplessly: "It's just that I was pricked by the thorns on the flower stem, don't make such a fuss." ”

Xi Xuanli ignored her, grabbed her hand angrily and wrapped it in a silk handkerchief, and then began to mutter: "Princess, although this flower is beautiful, it has thorns, why is the princess careless?" ”

"Yes, yes, I was careless, I must pay attention next time!" You can't mess with this girl at this time.

Xixuan nodded with a little satisfaction, carefully picked the flower she just wanted and handed it to her, but found that it was still stained with her blood, and opened her mouth exaggeratedly: "The color of the princess's blood is exactly the same as this flower, and the slave almost thought that the flower was bleeding!" ”

Su Ziran was amused by her, and laughed out loud: "Silly girl, where did the blood come from?" ”

"But this bright red color really looks like ......"

"Isn't blood always the same color?" Su Ziran joked with a smile, and after speaking, her face suddenly changed.

Is blood really always the same color?

Ever since she walked into the scene of Prince Moyuan's killing, she has always felt a strange feeling lingering, but she has never been able to say what is strange, until now, because of an unintentional sentence in Xixuan, she suddenly understood the crux of the problem - since Prince Moyuan was bathing at the time, since there were still undried water stains on the ground at that time, it means that the prince's blood must have been soaked in water, that is to say, the blood stains on the ground should be light red after being diluted by water.

But the fact is that the bloodstains at the scene of the crime are the color that normal people should have in red and glamorous!

In this way, does it mean that the original blood color of Prince Moyuan is abnormal?

No wonder she couldn't think of a reason, everything at the scene of the crime was normal, it was completely a closed secret room, and the prince of Moyuan was clearly killed, under what circumstances could the murderer do this.

Now all this has an explanation - the prince should have been drugged before he was stabbed, but that medicine, just like the red lotus snow that the old lady had in the beginning, was colorless and tasteless, and even after the fact, it could not be discovered at all! Perhaps the only thing that can make people notice the difference is the color of the deceased's blood, which is why the murderer will split the bath bucket in one more move after the killing, so that the water can dilute the traces of the prince's poisoning, right?

But what kind of strange poison is this?

She wrinkled her brows, and recalled the evil smile in her heart, and couldn't help but think that it would be nice if Xue Yan was still there.

With a sigh, she quickly walked into the room, and walked out in a hurry, straight out of Qingfeng Residence.

Xixuan didn't know why, so she was so anxious that she shouted behind her: "Princess...... The princess ......"

At the entrance of the West Street Post House, the lights are bright and heavily guarded.

Su Ziran waited at the door for a long time, hoping to meet Murong Yan just like last time, so that he could take her in—when she came out, she was in too much of a hurry, and she only cared about bringing Jun Luohan's human skin mask that she had made in the summer resort before, but she forgot to do something on her body.

But now that she doesn't see Murong Yan, she has to make dangerous moves, anyway, these officers and soldiers don't often see Jun Luohan, so they shouldn't be discovered, right?

With this kind of luck, she was about to go to a ready-to-wear store to buy a dress, but someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

She was startled, and her palms clenched violently.

turned around, but her originally surprised expression became even more stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

The scarlet dress, the phoenix eyes are enchanting, the smooth and flowing ink hair is raised by the wind, and there is a wanton smile at the corner of the mouth.

Her breath had already stagnated, and Su Ziran's lips moved several times before she slowly sounded, with a hint of hoarseness and complexity: "Xue Yan? ”

Didn't he leave without saying a word?

Before she got married, she came to her and said that she wanted to take her away, obviously it was just a joke, but he really disappeared without a trace after she got married!

"Ah Zi, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?"

Familiar voices, familiar smiles, familiar teasing......

Everything was so familiar, although she had only seen him three times, but she had the illusion that she had known him for many years, and she was depressed for a while because he didn't say goodbye.

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes hatefully: "Where have you been these days?" ”

Xue Yan was stunned.

In an instant, the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little thicker, and his amorous phoenix eyes flashed with a charming luster: "Ah Zi must be missing me." ”

Although Su Ziran had long been accustomed to his self-talk, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

"Didn't Zimo forget your agreement with me?" He didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"What?" Su Ziran blinked suspiciously.

He chuckled, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a deep glow flashed, and he spit out three words word by word.

"Delicate beads."

obviously promised her, but he almost forgot about himself, just because he couldn't ask for it, he left her, so he felt strange even to himself.

She was stunned.

This so-called agreement, even she herself has forgotten, and he still cares about it?

Is this why he came back?

There seemed to be a warm current surging in her heart, and she let out a sullen "grace", looked away uncomfortably, and lowered her head to take the human skin mask in her arms.

As if to reassure her, he whispered to himself as if he had promised: "Ah Zi, don't worry, I will never leave you again." ”

Su Ziran lowered his head, didn't seem to hear what he was saying, and didn't ask again when he raised his eyes, and raised the human skin mask in his hand: "Do me a favor, just to compensate for your bastard deeds before you didn't say goodbye!" ”

He sighed helplessly, with a bit of indulgence and pampering in his glowing-like pupils: "Okay." ”

"You'll have to follow me to the ready-to-wear store to change into a robe......"

Although Xue Yan and Jun Luohan are both masters who look good in everything, if Jun Luohan wears such a bright color one day, he must scare those officers and soldiers to death!

“……”

When the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the post house saw King Rui coming with the princess, they immediately saluted respectfully: "See the prince, see the princess!" ”

The man raised his hand: "No courtesy." ”

"The prince came here late at night, it's ......" The officers and soldiers led by him asked loudly.

"The death of Prince Moyuan is still a mystery, and the princess happened to have learned some autopsy techniques, so this king took her to see if she could find any new evidence."

The man couldn't help but show reverence to Su Ziran: "In this case, the prince and the princess should be invited in." ”

Following the path he had walked during the day to the scene of the crime, Xue Yan repeated Fang Cai's words to the guard at the door.

Walking into the courtyard, Su Ziran stared at him with a mocking gaze, and said thoughtfully: "I really didn't expect you to learn quite similarly!" ”
