Guiyan Pavilion is on the east side of the palace and is the most luxurious and extreme courtyard in the entire palace. The yard is full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, exuding bursts of fragrance. There are also two beautiful red-crowned cranes, elegantly foraging and walking in the yard.

Zhu Yi sat alone in the pavilion in the courtyard and poured himself a drink, Cai Yin sent Zhong Ziyuan to the door, and left quietly. Zhong Ziyuan couldn't, so he had to walk slowly alone.

When he came to him, he just cocked his neck to drink the remnants of the wine, and a drop of amber liquid slid down the corner of his mouth over his angular jaw and into his neckline embroidered with a golden moire.

At this time, the sun was just right, and the dazzling sunlight warmly slanted into the gazebo, dazzling his eyes, and also coating the dazzling white hibiscus on her sideburns with a thin layer of light, which was so bright and bright that it pierced people's eyes. He closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear the pain. When he opened them again, his dark eyes had reverted to coldness, and his handsome eyebrows had formed deep vertical lines because of this coldness.

Zhong Ziyuan bent his knees and was blessed, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I don't know what else the prince has to say?" ”

Zhu Yi said a little impatiently: "You don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of this king, with your intelligence, you naturally know it." ”

Zhong Ziyuan shook his head and said lightly: "The prince is falsely praised, the concubine is really frightened, I don't know why the prince is so entangled?" ”

"Why? You really don't know why? Zhu Yi's face turned blue when he was excited. He snorted a strong smell of wine, grabbed her arm, and said with jealousy, "You should have been my wife." It's the only princess I want to marry. If it weren't for those villains, we would have been a pair of fairy couples who everyone envied. Instead of being like this, you're wearing this damn white hibiscus. There's a fake princess lying in my new house! Every time I think about it, the hatred in my heart weighs down on me, and I can't even breathe. ”

Zhu Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. He lowered his head, and his bottomless deep eyes stared at the unmoved Zhong Ziyuan in front of him. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a distorted weird smile, and he ordered extremely domineeringly: "I want you to forget Guo Chenghe." Stay with me! I will let you share this splendid river and mountain with me. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, this was the first time Zhu Yi had been naked-naked. Unabashedly shows his ambitions. She whispered incredulously: "Lord Wang, you are drunk, what nonsense are you talking about!" Even if you weren't mistaken, you wouldn't have been able to become your concubine as the daughter of my guilty minister. Wake up! It can only be said that it was a misunderstanding between us. No one really wants to be against you. ”

Zhu Yi's fingers tightened with anger. Zhong Ziyuan didn't need to look to know that there must be a few more bruised bruises on his arms. She couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Let go of me!" ”

"Don't think!" Zhu Yi said angrily: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or a deliberate idea, since you have entered my palace, don't think about going out again." You're mine! It's always mine! ”

With red eyes, he grabbed the white hibiscus from her head and threw it to the ground, raised his foot and stepped on it fiercely, crushing the originally white and flawless petals into a dirty ball of mud.

"Bastard! What exactly do you want? Zhong Ziyuan struggled desperately.

"What do I think? Haha, you ask me what I want? Zhu Yi's laughter was filled with endless madness and sadness: "I will take out my whole heart and hold it in front of you." But you turned a deaf ear! Now, what do you think I want? ”

Zhu Yi suddenly approached Zhong Ziyuan. The smell of wine in her mouth made her feel sick to her stomach. But he imprisoned her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed greedily. She was startled and slammed her palm, but he easily dodged it.

Zhu Yi grabbed her wrist, raised his head, stared at his scarlet eyes, and said with a cruel smile: "Do you think I'm that slut holding the qin, and I can let you beat and scold?" ”

His unfamiliar appearance made Zhong Ziyuan shudder, but he smiled "haha" and bent down to carry Zhong Ziyuan on his shoulders.

"Let go of me! You bastard, let me go! Zhong Ziyuan fought desperately, but he couldn't beat the strength of an adult man.

Zhu Yi didn't care about her struggle, he strode into the house while shouting: "You all get down to this king, don't come near without this king's order!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan raised his head with great effort, and happened to see several secret guards suddenly appear in the courtyard that was quiet on the surface, and they retreated quietly and quickly.

Zhu Yi raised his foot and slammed it open, kicking open the door of Guiyan Pavilion. He eagerly bypassed the red sandalwood screen carved with a hundred child patterns, brushed open the fine and light black silk yarn to collect the eight-treasure curtain, and then threw Zhong Ziyuan on his shoulder into the wide stepping bed.

Zhong Ziyuan rolled into the corner in embarrassment, she pulled off the snowy crested hairpin on her head, pressed the tip of the hairpin sharp as a dagger against her throat, and said vigilantly: "Don't come."

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly went dark. Zhu Yi swooped over, grabbed the hairpin in her hand, and snatched it alive. Because he was pushing too hard, the sharp phoenix mouth cut a slender blood mark on his palm.

Zhong Ziyuan was almost stupid, she shrank in the corner and stared at him for a moment. He cracked his mouth, smiling with desire. He squinted his eyes and stared at her trembling all over, sticking out his tongue and slowly licking the blood marks on his palm, which looked like a terrible ghost crawling out of hell.

Originally panicked and cowardly like a rabbit, she blinked her thick eyelashes and smiled slyly. Seeing her lightly open her red lips, she said crisply: "One, two, three, pour" Zhu Yi's face froze, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, how could he forget that she was a monster full of miraculous medicine. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything, and he fell straight down like a log.

Zhong Ziyuan stretched out his finger and poked his unconscious body, and then raised his voice: "Come in!" ”

Through the carved rosewood screen, you can see a slender figure approaching quickly. The visitor quickly bypassed the screen and came to the bed. He said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Guo, did you get the key?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan climbed out of bed neatly and pulled the messy dress on her body. Said stupidly: "Caiyin, it's better for you to find it yourself!" I really don't want to have any contact with him anymore. She picked up the crested hairpin that Zhu Yi threw casually, and carefully put it back into her sleeve pocket.

Cai Yin sighed helplessly and began to rummage neatly on Zhu Yi. On her slender wrist was a shiny bracelet, on which the hollow carved phoenix pattern was exactly the same as the crested hairpin on Zhong Ziyuan's hand.

Cai Yin was secretly arranged by Zhu Xian to serve by the Queen Mother's side in her early years, and later Zhu Yi was named the prince and moved out of the palace to live in the newly renovated Rui Wangfu. The Queen Mother was afraid that there would be no one around him to serve. deliberately pointed out a few powerful palace maids around him to him, and Cai Yin came to Zhu Yi's side by mistake. Over the years, other palace maids have left the palace for various reasons. Now Zhu Yi is the only one left by his side, Cai Yin.

Over the years, Zhu Xian didn't know how many spies he had secretly arranged to infiltrate the Rui Palace, but unfortunately Zhu Yi's vigilance was extremely high, and he had already fledgled and secretly cultivated his own power. The spies sent by Zhu Xian were secretly cleaned up by him. Only this Caiyin. Because it was the Queen Mother who personally pointed it out, and Zhu Xian regarded her as the last bargaining chip, he never arranged a task for her, so she was not exposed.

Now that Zhu Xian is terminally ill, and Zhu Yi's wolf ambition is becoming increasingly revealed, Zhu Xian finally began to use this last chess piece. It was Cai Yin who sneaked into the study that day, and the task she received was to find Duan Ling, who had disappeared inexplicably with the account books. She secretly searched all corners of the palace to no avail, and finally set her sights on the study, which was always closely guarded by secret guards.

Cai Yin was extremely familiar with the terrain of the palace. In addition, her identity will not arouse the suspicion of the secret guards at all, so she can wait for the opportunity to sneak into the study so smoothly. In the study. She faintly heard Zhu Yi's roar, and also found the entrance to the stone prison, but without the key, she had no way to go in and find out.

The key was always hung on Zhu Yi's waist and never left his body, and there were always secret guards by his side, so Cai Yin had no way to do it. Today, when she saw Zhong Ziyuan coming wearing that crested hairpin, she knew that the helper was coming.

Cai Yin took the key from Zhu Yi's waist, and then lifted Zhu Yi to the bed, covered it with a brocade quilt, and pretended to be asleep. After all this, Zhong Ziyuan quickly changed out of the eye-catching plain white brocade clothes on his body, dressed up as an extremely ordinary palace maid, followed behind Cai Yin with his head half-hanged, and swaggered out of Guiyan Pavilion.

In a remote corner of the palace garden, a few loud noises followed by a few loud noises, and the autumn wind blew the smoke up like a multicolored brocade in the air. The sudden loud noise and colored smoke alarmed the palace guards, and countless people flocked to search everywhere, but only found a pile of burned-out fireworks debris.

A round-faced guard looked at the red of the place and said puzzledly: "In broad daylight, who is playing fireworks here?" ”

Another long-faced guard tugged through the debris with the scabbard in his hand, though nothing unusual was found. He still frowned and said vigilantly: "In extraordinary times, it is better to be careful, and this matter must be reported to the prince as soon as possible." He asked in a loud voice, "Where is the prince now?" Hurry up and report it. ”

A dark guard dressed in green, almost integrated with the surrounding environment, flashed in the shadows, and he arched his hand expressionlessly, and said: "The prince has something important to do, and he has ordered him not to approach without an order." The subordinates did not dare to disobey. ”

"What's the matter?" The guard said in surprise.

The Dark Guard's eyes twitched, and he ducked back into the shadows, a question he refused to answer

There was chaos in the palace garden, Cai Yin, but Zhong Ziyuan appeared outside the study.

The whole study is bathed in golden sunlight, there are a few tall green bamboos in front of the window, surrounded by verdant plane trees, a breeze blows, the dense branches and leaves make a soft sound, and the surroundings are quiet and picturesque, not even a walking maid. For some reason, Zhong Ziyuan faintly smelled the murderous intent.

Zhong Ziyuan's body moved, but Cai Yin grabbed her. Zhong Ziyuan asked softly in puzzlement: "Since we have the key and the study is right in front of us, why are we still hiding here?" ”

Cai Yinjuanxiu's face was stained with a layer of red, her eyes widened, and her expression was obviously very nervous. While carefully observing the surrounding situation, she explained, "Don't look at the silence here, there are at least six or more secret guards hidden around. You don't have any martial arts at all, you can't protect yourself at all, so you still watch obediently from the sidelines, don't make trouble for me! ”

Zhong Ziyuan obediently retracted his neck, and it didn't take long for Cai Yin to look solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Our people have succeeded!" ”

Almost as soon as her voice fell, Zhong Ziyuan saw several corpses falling from the tall plane tree one after another, which startled her. Cai Yin stood up with a sigh of relief and went out.

As the body fell, several masked men jumped from the tree in their immediate pursuit. Zhong Ziyuan's eyes widened in surprise, she had been desperately searching for the secret guard that Cai Yin said among the lush branches, but she found no trace at all. She didn't even notice how these masked men sneaked in and assassinated the guards one by one, and she stared at the masked men with interest.

Cai Yin had already walked over quickly, and after she whispered a few words to one of the masked people, the two of them looked back at Zhong Ziyuan in unison. Looking at the masked leader's dark eyes as deep as midnight, Zhong Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and then he showed a flattering smile. The masked man frowned, and said in a helpless deep voice: "Cover your mouth and nose, you will follow me later, don't run around!" ”

"Hmmm! Got it! Zhong Ziyuan agreed very obediently, which made Cai Yin glance at them curiously.

Entering the study without hindrance, Cai Yin came to the bookshelf and took out the key that he had obtained with great difficulty. The so-called key is actually a jasper ring with complex carvings and complex patterns.

Cai Yin carefully embedded this jasper ring into a pattern carved with the same pattern on the wall. It wasn't until the jasper ring coincided with the ornament that a soft "click" was heard, and a subtle "creak" of gears rolling behind the door was heard, and the heavy bookshelf split in two, revealing the deep entrance to the stone prison behind.

There was a faint commotion in the stone prison, and someone shouted softly: "The prince is here, go and greet him!" Immediately after, a series of stumbling footsteps approached the entrance.

The masked leader glanced at Zhong Ziyuan, Zhong Ziyuan's wrist flicked, and a small porcelain bottle slipped into her hand, and she took advantage of the situation to stuff the porcelain bottle into the masked leader's hand. The masked leader bent his eyes, took the porcelain bottle, quickly pulled the cork, and threw it into the black rumbling stone prison.

Not a word, just eye contact. The cooperation between the two is smooth, without a trace of astringency, as if they have worked together countless times. (To be continued.) )
