"Xiaolinzi! Didn't I tell you that you must keep the carriage on a leash? Now that the carriage is gone, how are we going to get back? Cui'er couldn't find the carriage, and got angry, and Xiao Linzi looked at Cui'er with an innocent face, and said, "Sister Cui'er, I really tied the carriage well, and hired a child to watch the carriage!" ”

Xiao Linzi scratched his head and looked around, but he could not find the carriage and the shadow of the child.

"Phew! You're such a pig brain! How can a small child believe it! Cui'er stretched out her hand and poked Xiao Linzi's head fiercely, and then looked at Ziyi with some depression and said, "Niangniang, the carriage is gone, what should we do now?" ”

It takes about an hour to get back to the palace by carriage, but if they have to go, it will be nice if they can get back before the palace gates close.

"Hehe-what else can I do, let's go first, go to the city gate, the silver pupil should be there." Ziyi hooked the corners of his lips helplessly, gave Xiao Linzi a reassuring look, and the three of them walked on the path back to the city.

The birds sang all the way, and gradually, Cui'er forgot about Xiaolinzi's loss of the carriage.

It's been a long time since they've been like this, strolling through the scenery without any scruples.

When he walked to the city gate, it was already dark, and Ziyi took out the token he was carrying and handed it to the guards at the city gate, and after a while, he saw the silver pupil coming from not far away.

"So wolf?" When Cui'er twittered their experience to Silver Hitomi, there was a smile on the corner of Silver Pupil's mouth. "Let's go, I want to eat something."

"Aren't you still going to stay here?" Ziyi frowned, and looked at Yintong with some suspicion: "Don't sue me that you've been lazy these days!" ”

"Please, my ancestor, whoever sues you must stand here in person." The silver pupil pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, knocked on the head of the purple cloth with the folding fan in his hand, and then pointed to the city gate and said, "Take a closer look." ”

Ziyi looked in the direction of Yintong's finger, and found that there was a faint white light at the city gate, like a web formed by spiders, and this incomparably huge web actually covered the entire capital!

"By the way, I've done the bluegrass and the night fire, you know, this net has wasted a lot of my strength!" Silver Hitomi raised her chin proudly, "I added something special to these silk threads, as long as that woman touches it, she will know immediately." ”

"Then why don't you just weave the web all over the streets? Wouldn't it be easy for us to find that woman? Ziyi frowned.

"Don't you know? Kaoru's meaning is not to find that woman, but to observe that woman's dynamics at all times. Silver Hitomi tapped Ziyi's head with a folding fan again, and continued, "We have long known the whereabouts of that woman, but Kaoru suspects that the barbarians may have bad intentions, so she wants to follow this woman to see if she is the messenger between Nazha and the barbarians. ”

"If she's a messenger, she'll just drive a bug—"

"Call you stupid, you're really stupid!" When the silver pupil knocked on the purple cloth's head for the third time, he was glared at by the purple cloth fiercely: "If the insect is a bug, do you think Nazha can understand, or the barbarian emperor can understand?" Let's go, what to eat? I made an appointment with Bluegrass and Night Fire to have something to eat together. ”

Yintong shrunk her neck by Ziyi's glare, although she asked Ziyi what she wanted to eat, she had already taken a step forward and walked towards the largest restaurant in the capital, "Rouge Drunk".

This rouge drunk is the most luxurious restaurant in the entire capital, and it is rumored that the wine and food in it are even more delicious. Although the price of the food is to death, it is still full every day, and if you want to book a seat, you have to book at least ten days in advance.

Yintong walked all the way to a private room with a few people in purple clothes, pushed the door and entered.

Nightfire and Bluegrass had been sitting in it for a long time.

When the two saw the purple clothes, they were slightly stunned, and then there was a smile in the corner of their eyes.

When Ziyi and Yintong sat down, Cui'er and Xiao Linzi waited aside, Ziyi turned to Cui'er and said something, Cui'er nodded slightly, and pulled Xiao Dezi away.

"Wait a minute, there's another person." Silver Pupil sat beside Ziyi, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Ziyi and said, "Guess who." ”

"Do I know each other too?" Ziyi was a little surprised, she came to this place, there were really few people she knew, and she couldn't think of it for a while, so she could only shake her head gently: "I can't guess." ”

"Ziyi, you really make me sad." Outside the door, a familiar voice sounded, and Zi Yiwei turned his head, just meeting Mu Beichen's "injured" gaze.

"You are a Beichen king, it's not good to stay in your excess, what are you doing all the time coming to us?" Ziyi frowned slightly when she saw Mu Beichen, she still remembered that on the night of the 15th Lantern Festival, this guy guessed the lantern riddle correctly and took away the lantern she fancied!

"I'm here, so I naturally want to ask for your help." Mu Beichen sat down next to Night Fire and Blue Grass, just opposite Ziyi, with a smile on his face, looking at Ziyi's eyes with inexplicable tenderness: "Ziyi, why do I think you seem to be more beautiful than the last time I saw you?" Tell me, is there any secret ingredient? ”

The table fell silent for a while, and Mu Beichen looked around with some puzzlement.

"Heh—of course there are secret recipes, and I don't mind passing them on to you if you want them." Ziyi hooked the corners of his lips, looking at Mu Beichen's eyes with a trace of resentment, seeing Mu Beichen's excitement, he hurriedly made a round and said: "Hehehehe-since it's a secret recipe, forget it, forget it-I'm a big man, I don't need it, I don't need it-"

Mu Beichen didn't know about the destruction of Ziyi's face, and he was very busy during this time.

The battle for the throne of Beichen Kingdom has been going on for a year, and this year, although he is extremely reluctant, he is also involved.

In today's Beichen Kingdom, the dust has just settled, but suddenly a plague is prevalent.

The plague was very strange, and Mu Beichen really had no choice, so he thought of coming here to discuss countermeasures with Ziyi and them.

Xiao Er served the wine and food one after another, but Ziyi was not polite.

After walking all afternoon, her stomach was already "gurgling" with hunger.

"You mean, there is a plague in Beichen Kingdom?" Yintong took a sip of the wine in the glass, looked at Mu Beichen and said, "What kind of plague is it?" ”

"The infected person will first have a high fever that does not go away, and then he will bleed and fester, and within three days, he will die with a whimper-"

As soon as Mu Beichen's words fell, there was a dead silence on the entire table. Mu Beichen scratched his head in some surprise - he didn't seem to say anything wrong, why are the people at this table so strange today?!

"Where did the plague originate in the first place?" Ziyi put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Mu Beichen with a solemn face.

"In the palace of Beichen Kingdom." Mu Beichen didn't know why Ziyi's face suddenly became solemn, although the matter of the plague was indeed very strict, but after all, it was only a matter of their Beichen Kingdom-

"What kind of unjust death are there in your palace?" Ziyi asked again.

"Heh, the number of people who have died unjustly in the palace since ancient times is innumerable. And Beichen Kingdom has just experienced the battle for the storage position, do you think there will be fewer unjust souls? At the mention of the unjustly killed, Mu Beichen's eyes dimmed slightly.

In this battle for storage positions, the people who survived them also survived with blood and water.

It is true that many people have died, and now the entire royal family, except for him and the current emperor of Beichen Kingdom, including the female dependents, there are only three people left.

The current emperor of Beichen Kingdom is the elder brother of Mu Beichen's mother, and although the other is a half-mother with them, he has also been raised in their mother's courtyard since he was a child.

I have to admit that Mu Beichen's elder brother Mu Beiming was born to be an emperor's material, but his methods were too ruthless, and although the ministers of the court and the central government were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say more.

"Actually, the Luo Twilight Dynasty has also had such a plague before." Seeing that everyone didn't speak again, Ziyi opened his mouth to break the silence. She stood up and paced to the window, looking out at the night.

The sky was clear tonight, and there were many stars in the sky. The breeze blows on the cheeks and is cool and cool, and it is a very comfortable weather.

"Oh? Could it be that this plague was brought to my Beichen from the Twilight Dynasty? When Mu Beichen heard Ziyi's words, he stood up with a "swish", and his voice was slightly higher than usual.

It sounds like a bit of "rejuvenating the teacher and asking the guilt".

Purple stood at the window and didn't speak, she felt like she was a pawn on a chessboard, or a doll in a dollhouse. Although she has her own thoughts, it seems that the qiē around her is in the hands of a more powerful person.

Everything seems to be unconnected, but there seems to be a little bit of connection in the absence of contact.

From the moment she first crossed over here and became an imperial concubine inexplicably, everything seemed to be destined in the dark, she just stepped into a game step by step.

All of them are insiders.

And that outsider, hiding deeply.

I can't see it clearly.

Why did the royal family of Beichen Kingdom suddenly break out of this plague?

At the beginning, the silver pupil and the night fire found out that the culprit of this plague was obviously just a baby spirit who died in vain.

Could it be that the same infant spirit has also been born in Beichen Kingdom?

However, as far as she knew, different evil spirits had different means of revenge, and the effects on humans were also different.

If this qiē is all a coincidence, it is too far-fetched.

"Although I don't know how the plague in the Beichen Kingdom is, it can't be infected from the Luodu Dynasty." Seeing that Ziyi had been standing at the window without speaking, Yintong rubbed her head slightly and said.

"How can you be sure?!"

Mu Beichen's feelings were a little excited, after all, the plague was too terrible. He watched the people around him die in pain, and if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that the entire Beichen Kingdom would be destroyed.

"For it is not a plague, but the work of those who have died in vain! The Queen Mother was haunted by that evil spirit, so she went - but now it is not certain that the plague in Beichen is not because of the same evil spirit. Purple turned around, a pair of purple eyes with desolation.

The only possibility she could think of now was that the evil spirit was transferred to the royal family of Beichen Kingdom by someone or something at the beginning, and continued to haunt her.

Otherwise, there is no explanation why the plague disappeared overnight in the Twilight Dynasty.

"So what can be done to stop it?" Mu Beichen's tone softened, and he looked at Ziyi with hope in his eyes. The current Lords of the Twilight Dynasty have never heard of any plague - so it must be the Purple Clothes who have found a way to deal with it.

However, Ziyi's answer made him completely disappointed: "I don't know, the plague disappeared overnight." ”

"Isn't there any other way-" The light that had just ignited in Mu Beichen's eyes dimmed, and now the imperial power of Beichen Kingdom had just been determined, but it was tormented by the plague.

"Let's take a look."

Duanmu Kaoru's voice sounded from outside the door, and Ziyi looked at the people at the door with a light smile.

Just now she asked Cui'er and Xiao Linzi to go back to the palace to report the news, saying that she would go back later, but she didn't expect Duanmu Xun to leave the palace in person.

Duanmu Kaoru's memory is still not restored, although he is also very good to Ziyi now, but Ziyi always feels that this kind of good is not like before.

For example, in the past, she would firmly believe that Duanmu Kaoru would come to her, but now she saw Duanmu Kaoru coming, and a touch of flattered joy surged in her heart.

This feeling is actually very bad.

Because it only means that there is a problem between them.

Very strict zhòng question.

She couldn't see his heart.

Even if they're close.

"There hasn't been much movement on the Barbarian side in recent days, and I feel that Beichen's affairs will not be so simple." Duanmu Xun's face was solemn, he wanted to go, not just to help Mu Beichen.

Instead, he felt that he seemed to have something very important in Beichen Kingdom.

Something to do with the plague, very, very important.

It is so important that if he doesn't get it back, he may regret it for the rest of his life.

It was just a feeling, but the strange thing was that this feeling was so strong at this moment that he didn't even want to make any more arrangements, so he immediately got up and headed for Beichen.

Stretching out his hand to Ziyi, Ziyi nested softly on his chest, Duanmu Xun hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "I'll go back to the palace tonight to make some arrangements, and we'll set off with you tomorrow." ”

"Kaoru-" Silver Hitomi frowned, at this time, Duanmu Kaoru leaving the capital was obviously not a good choice. "It's enough for us to go to the affairs of Beichen Kingdom, although the barbarians have not moved at this time, but after all, there is still that barbarian princess in your palace, besides, the matter of tracking Bai Feng still needs to be continued-we finally found a clue-"

"So, Silver Pupil, you have to stay and continue to follow Bai Feng. The night fire also stayed here, and if there was any problem, notify Nie Feng or Nie Yun in time. Bluegrass wants to go with us, although the source of this plague is an evil spirit, but with a miracle doctor, things will be much easier. As for the affairs of the court, Qi and Fuling will deal with it. Besides-" Duanmu Kaoru's words suddenly changed.
