"What's going on?"

In the dark night, the Yiwang Mansion lit up more and more, gradually lighting up the entire mansion.

"Did you find it?"

Someone asked in disbelief.

"Find ...... Found ......"

Someone replied with a trembling fight.

"How?"

“…… Die...... He's dead. ”

He's dead?

Dead again!

Before, it was only outside the house that accidents would happen, but now ...... Isn't it safe in the house?

At this time, the two corpses were lying on the side of a bush with their eyes wide open, their faces pale and their expressions a little hideous because of the horror before death.

A guard was looking down to inspect the corpse, and when he heard footsteps in the distance, he hurriedly stood up and saluted with his fists: "Steward Qin." ”

"How's it going?"

The visitor waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and asked in a low voice.

"Both of them have snake bite marks, and they should have alarmed the long worms in the grass when they passed by here, so they ......"

Steward Qin raised his hand again, signaling that he didn't need to say anything.

Not to mention that the weather is getting cooler, most of the long insects have already hidden. Even if there were occasional ones who were still active, how could they run into the grass in their Yiwang Mansion? What's more, it's still a poisonous long worm!

"This is not a trivial matter, let people quickly investigate the surroundings to see if the scourge is still hiding nearby! I'll go back to the prince and see what the prince commands. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the study.

Those who remained at the scene looked at each other, shivering in the cold wind.

"You say...... Will. Could it really be the princess's unjust soul......"

"Phew!"

Someone immediately interrupted, looked around by the light of the candlelight, quietly glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "The prince has been worried about the princess for the past two days, such words can not be said!" In case it accidentally reaches the ears of the prince, the ...... is wronged."

The person who spoke was shocked and hurriedly changed his words: "That long worm hasn't killed you yet, the prince has taken your life first!" ”

The person who provoked the conversation before hurriedly gave himself a few slaps: "Yes, yes, yes, I am talking nonsense, nonsense!" ”

"But...... It's really weird......"

Someone still couldn't help but mutter.

"Go, go, go. What's strange and not strange! The first priority is to find the worm. Don't let it hurt anyone more! ”

The man waved his hand and blasted the people gathered around him away: "It's all scattered, hurry up and get some realgar to drive away ......"

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the sound of the wind.

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

The voice was very soft. If you don't distinguish carefully, you almost think it's the sound of the wind in the dark night.

"What's wrong?"

Someone asked.

"Shh

The man raised his hand and signaled silence: "Listen ......"

"Ah......h

His voice had just fallen. A scream rang out. The night sky of King Yi's Mansion was once again disturbed by wailing.

The voice......

"Steward Qin...... It's Steward Qin! ”

Immediately someone shouted.

"Quick, go check it out!"

Everyone hurriedly held the lantern and ran towards the direction that Steward Qin had just left.

Under an ancient cypress, the subordinate who originally gave Steward Qin a lantern fell to the ground with a frightened expression. The lantern fell to the side, emitting a light that was bright and extinguished, and it seemed that it would be extinguished in the next moment.

Not far away, a figure fell to the ground, without a sound.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Everyone hurriedly surrounded them, but they all stopped at the side of the next person, not daring to take another half step closer in the direction of Steward Qin.

"Tree ...... Tree ......"

The man's face was like a blank piece of paper, and he pointed to the ancient cypress and said tremblingly.

Tree?

The people followed the prestige.

The strange and magnificent shape of the ancient cypress in the daytime looks particularly strange in the dark night.

The outstretched branches seemed to be completely twisted at this moment, screaming and swaying gently in the night wind.

"What's wrong with the tree?"

The man asked.

"Tree ...... It's moving! ”

Tree...... Moved?

Everyone shuddered.

…………………………

Under several movements, the top and bottom of King Yi's mansion were alarmed, and no one could sleep soundly anymore.

Qi Moyan in the study was also woken up and walked out in his clothes.

"What's going on?"

He asked with a frown.

"Someone has been sent to ask."

The servants waited for him to get dressed, and took a cloak and put it on him.

Not long after, someone hurried in, and when they saw him, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Your Highness." ”

"What's going on out there?"

Qi Moyan lifted his chin.

"Back to Your Highness, just ...... There was another murder in the house just now. ”

"What?"

Qi Moyan took a step forward violently, his fists clenched: "Who is it this time?" ”

"It's two men who watch the night."

The man replied.

Qi Moyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but his face was still very ugly.

"And ......"

The servant continued.

And also?

Qi Moyan raised his foot and kicked on the man's shoulder: "What do you have to say in one breath!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The subordinate was kicked to the ground, and hurriedly straightened up and knelt down: "There is also Steward Qin!" ”

Steward Qin?

Steward Qin, who is in charge of many affairs in his mansion, large and small?!

Qi Moyan's teeth creaked, and the joints of his clenched fists turned white.

"How did you die?"

He asked word for word.

"Back to Your Highness, the two subordinates heard a strange movement when they were on a night patrol, and then they sounded the gong and drum to dare to go to the abnormal place and alarmed the poisonous snake in the grass, and then they were bitten to death."

"Steward Qin learned about this and was about to come to report back to His Highness, when he passed by the ancient cypress in the mansion and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake falling from the tree......"

Although the subordinate who helped Qin steward carry the lantern said that the tree had moved, everyone had the courage to check it out afterwards. There was no problem with the tree, and Steward Qin, like the two who died by the grass before, had traces of being bitten by a snake, which showed that he was also poisoned by a snake.

And the so-called tree of the subordinate moved, it should be a snake falling from the tree, and he panicked, thinking that he had seen some demons and monsters.

Qi Moyan was annoyed and angry when he heard this: "How can I have a poisonous snake in my dignified Yi Palace!" ”

"Slaves don't know, slaves don't know."

The man hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "The flowers and plants in the house have always been taken care of by special people, just now the steward of Xiao Qin has asked people to call up the florists for questioning, and I can check it out right away." ”

In other words, he is just a messenger. It is not clear what is known about other things.

"Waste...... A bunch of rubbish! Get out of here! ”

Qi Moyan gritted his teeth and roared.

The man hurried to thank him. He crawled out of front of the study.

"Your Highness is angry."

The subordinate beside Qi Moyan said in a low voice: "The flowers and plants in the house are not only taken care of by special personnel, but also regularly checked every day, it stands to reason that there should be no poisonous snake, this poisonous snake must be from outside the mansion......"

"Your Highness is not so angry here as it is now. It's better to quickly ask Xiao Qin's steward to arrange people to check around the palace. Maybe you might be able to catch the thief. ”

Qi Moyan sneered. Look into the distance and don't know where to go.

"Check? He can kill people directly in my palace without leaving the slightest handle, how can he leave traces if he throws a few poisonous snakes in? ”

The subordinates were surprised: "Your Highness is talking about ......"

Qi Moyan's gaze still surrendered in that direction: "Have you forgotten?" There is still a person named Sang Zi under the command of Hou Shizi of Dingnan! Not only is he amazing at carpentry, but he is also very good at taming animals! ”

"But ......"

"No, but!"

Qi Moyan flicked his sleeves angrily: "One! Decide! Be! He! ”

The lights illuminate the house as bright as the day. It also reflected the expression on his face very clearly.

Good you Dingnan Hou Shizi, good you Shen Nanzhu! This king has closed his door, and you still won't stop!

In that case, this king will make you pay!

…………………………

"So the husband and wife escaped in the valley, lived in the mountains, and never stepped into the mortal world again for ......"

Shen Nanzhu finished reading the last sentence, gently closed the scroll, leaned over and kissed lightly under the forehead of Mengbao, who had fallen asleep.

Mo An, who had been waiting outside the room for a long time, rolled his eyes, exhaled deeply, and whispered through the door: "Lord Shizi, my subordinates have something to report." ”

The young lady was poisoned and in a coma, and the prince didn't know what to think, so he actually read to the young lady every day! I'm reading all these books of love and love! And no one is allowed to disturb you until you finish reading it!

God knows how he was struck by lightning when he first heard the prince read to the young lady outside the room, but the people inside read it seriously and affectionately, and the red note guarded outside also had a straight face, as if this was normal.

But......

This is obviously not normal!

Where are they the kind of people who have nothing to do to read to people?

Does it become so strange for men to become so strange when they get married? It's like a different person!

If that's the case, then he's better not married! He doesn't want to wait until he gets married to read a book to his daughter-in-law at home every day! Just thinking about that scene is enough!

Mo An had goosebumps, the door was gently opened from the inside, and a tall man walked in from it, with a handsome face and a calm and restrained expression, and he couldn't tell that it was the same person who had just read the book affectionately.

After Shen Nanzhu walked out, he turned around and closed the door himself, moving very lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping people in the room.

He didn't ask anything, raised his feet and walked out, and only when he was out of the courtyard did he ask in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Mo An couldn't help but roll his eyes again, not to mention that the young lady was in a coma and couldn't hear the outside world at all, even if she could hear it, they had all walked so far away, and they didn't need to speak so low, right?

But everyone who is the master of the house speaks so quietly, how can one of his subordinates be too loud, so he had to lean into his ear and lower his voice and said: "The queen mother sent a medical girl over, saying that she was specially here to serve the young lady." ”

After saying that, I couldn't help but want to laugh, they were obviously in their own yard, why did they act like thieves?

Shen Nanzhu nodded, but did not answer, but walked directly to the outer courtyard.

…………………………

"The slave Bai Shao, the medical girl next to the queen's mother, is here to take care of Mrs. Shizi on the order of the queen's mother."

A slender woman stood in the hall and said to Shen Nanzhu.

Shen Nanzhu didn't look at her, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "No need." ”

The woman seemed to know that he would answer like this, and replied with a light smile: "The queen mother is also a good intention, and the prince refuses so bluntly, I'm afraid it's inappropriate......"

"What's wrong?"

Only then did Shen Nanzhu raise his head and look at her.

"I have a special doctor in my house to treat my wife, and I don't need others."

The woman smiled: "The queen mother just heard that the prince did not invite the imperial doctor in the palace, thinking that the prince may have felt that the young lady's injury was inconvenient for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, so she sent a slave maid to help one or two." ”

"Although the slave doesn't dare to claim to be a skilled doctor, it's still okay to come and help if you want to."

Shen Nanzhu's face remained unchanged, still the same expression as just now, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "I know that your medical skills are not good, and you are still sent to take care of my wife?" The queen really has a heart. ”

The woman choked and couldn't answer for a long time.

Shen Nanzhu's patience was limited, so she simply waved her hand directly and asked people to "invite" her out, while she raised her feet and walked to the study.

"The queen will definitely let people come over again, the next one, stay directly, hand it over to Liu Sanye from the back door, and tell him that as long as he stays, he will return it to me when I want someone."

He said as he walked.

Mo An was slightly stunned, and hesitated: "Lord Shizi, after all, that is the queen's mother......"

It's just to get rid of it, if there is something really going on......

Shen Nanzhu stopped, turned his head and glanced at him lightly.

Mo An immediately shuddered, and hurriedly lowered his head: "Subordinates should be damned, subordinates will do it!" ”

After saying that, he left as if he was running away.

Mo Chou saw Mo An hurriedly coming over from a distance, and greeted him with a smile: "Where are you going, so urgent?" ”

It wasn't until he got closer that he found a layer of cold sweat oozing from his head, and he couldn't help but be startled: "What's the matter?" ”

Mo An exhaled slowly, raised his hand and wiped his forehead twice: "It's upset the prince." ”

Ha?

Mo Chou laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It must be because of the young lady, right?" ”

Mo An didn't nod, but he didn't deny it either.

"You just remember a sentence, as long as it's about the young lady, you can do whatever the prince tells you to do, that's right!"

He imparts his experience like an old man.

Mo An glared at him: "Then it depends on something!" The prince is now ...... But it's going to move the queen's person directly! ”

This is not the same as not giving face to the queen, and it is not the same as secretly killing the people around King Yi, this is going to be done openly! It's time to put everything on the table!

Mo Chou smiled nonchalantly: "Since you have to move sooner or later, what's the difference between moving again in the future and moving now?" You must know that the young lady saved her life this time, if something really happened to her this time......"

He shook his head and continued, "Rather than waiting for others to do something to us first, it's better for us to move others first. ”

Mo An frowned and glanced at him: "But the original plan was not like this!" It's a lot earlier! ”

Mo Chou pushed him and said, "The plan can't catch up with the change!" Do you want to make change part of the plan? ”

Make change part of the plan?

Mo An thought about it and thought it was the same, but it didn't seem like Mo Chou could say it.

"Where did you hear that?" He asked with a frown.

Mo Chou waved his hand and said proudly: "What the young lady said! ”
