As night fell, lanterns were hung at the gates of the palace, and guards patrolled the perimeter.

The back house was quite quiet, Ning Yuhe was still sitting in the room meditating, and Zhu Manzhi was lying on the window of the room with a small fan, looking at the little stars in the sky.

In the bedroom, which was not very far away, Xu Buling was lying on the soft couch, his expression was a little uncomfortable, but he had to lie on his stomach honestly and endure Aunt Lu's bell.

“…… Hmph~ The Queen Mother posted again today, saying that she was worried about your injury, and asked you to go into the palace to take a look, I just saw it last time, and it has only been ten days...... I'm taking care of you, what's there to worry about......"

On the soft couch, Mrs. Lu rode on Xu Buling's waist, and kneading her dough seriously, with a few drops of fine sweat hanging on her forehead, and the back of her pale green thin skirt was also wet with sweat, and the black tether on her belly pocket could be faintly seen.

The body is round and jade, there are places where there should be, and naturally there is some weight. This weight is nothing to Xu Buling, but it is very hot to stick together, and because of the medicinal wine, he sweats, Mrs. Lu also sweats, and the thin cloth is not much different from nothing.

Xu Buling forcibly contemplated and tried not to feel the bits and pieces on his waist, but Mrs. Lu moved around, and it was really difficult not to feel it.

"Aunt Lu...... Forget it, it's a little hot......"

"I'm not hot, what are you hot?"

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, Si Siwen picked up the medicinal wine, poured some on her hand, and started to massage again: "Ning Daochang said that it would take an hour, but it is not yet time." ”

Between speaking, his eyes described the bandages on Xu Buling's shoulders, and said quietly: "Ling'er, you are not injured, or you won't enter the palace, I will return the post?" ”

Xu Buling knew that the Queen Mother must have heard the news that he was 'unbearably poisonous from the Dragon Lock', so she would risk being discovered by Miss Xiao and ask him to enter the palace to detoxify, which was really warm.

I haven't seen each other for many days, Xu Buling also misses the Queen Mother baby in my heart, and some things have to be arranged, I really have to go to the palace, and I said softly at the moment:

"The Queen Mother also cares about me, it's never too good to go back directly, pick a cloudy day and go into the palace to have a look......"

Mrs. Lu squinted slightly, twisted it slightly, but she couldn't say anything, put the bottle away, and wanted to get up.

Xu Buling was a little amused in his heart, and turned his head:

"Aunt Lu, it's not there yet?"

"At any point, you can enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and if you have the ability to find the Queen Mother to give you a massage, I~ Anyway, I don't learn well, and you don't like it, I dislike ...... in my heart."

As he spoke, he became aggrieved, stood up on the soft couch, and was angry and wanted to raise his hand to beat Xu Buling, but he didn't stand firm on the soft couch, and fell directly to the ground with a "yah-".

Xu Buling was helpless, turned around and raised his hand to pull Mrs. Lu back:

"Okay, okay, just visit the Queen Mother, isn't she angry with you a few times, last time I sent the painting to Aunt Lu, didn't you also be angry with her for a few days......"

Mrs. Lu was supported by Xu Buling's waist, tidied up the hair around her ears a little, and noticed that the posture was strange, so she pushed away Xu Buling's hand: "Hmph~ Anyway, I can't control you, you can do it yourself, it's ......" and then lifted the food box and walked out of the room a little unhappily.

Xu Buling spread his hands slightly, he had long been used to it, and he was not worried that Mrs. Lu would sulk when she went back.

After getting up and getting dressed, Xu Buling looked at the imperial city in the distance, he wanted to take advantage of the night to enter the palace to have a look, but he was afraid that Miss Xiao and the queen mother's baby would play Metamorphosis, so he thought that he should honestly enter the palace at the agreed time to avoid going wrong.

Soon after Mrs. Lu left, Lao Qi, one of the guards, ran in and told him what Lao Xiao had heard at the tea stall.

Xu Buling knew that the 'fish hook' was coming, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, and after dressing up a little, he went out of the room to take a look.

Just as he walked out of the door, Ning Yuhe poked his head out of the window of the wing, his eyes were very strange, and he looked at the baby apprentice on the roof:

"Ling'er, you...... Going to run errands again? ”

Xu Buling had a clear conscience this time: "Go out and do something else, Master don't worry." ”

Ning Yuhe smiled, bowed his head slightly, and disappeared into the window.

Xu Buling didn't care, he disappeared into the night alone, like a ghost between thousands of streets and hundreds of squares, silently sliding through half of Chang'an City and coming to a brothel near the Siyi Pavilion.

Guangdefang, where the Siyi Pavilion is located, is inhabited by strangers from all over the world, most of whom are foreigners, coming from the Western Regions or even farther away, the factions and religions in the square are extremely mixed, and even the imperial court can't figure it out, and it has always been the easiest place for Chang'an City to fish in troubled waters. And the Goolan brothel in Guangde Fang also has its own characteristics, such as black pearls, Yanmar and so on.

Fanbang alien races have always been regarded as barbarians, these places are generally guests come to taste fresh, in terms of consumption is far less than Daye Fang, it is also considered to be cheap.

Xu Buling walked silently through the brothel and found the room that Lao Xiao said.

The room was filled with the smell of alcohol, and Orion was huddled in the corner with a blanket on his body, his eyes embarrassed with drunken eyes.

Lao Xiao sat in front of him with a cane, raised his hand and pointed at Xu Buling, who had just come in: "This, but the Lord of the Investigation Division, if you honestly explain what happened that day, you will be released." Otherwise, you will either be fined 5,000 taels of silver, or you will go to the prison to squat and let your mother-in-law come to the capital to receive people. You've tasted both white and black today, let your mother-in-law know......"

Orion's eyes were full of helplessness, and he spread his hands and said: "Old man, I have no grievances with you, you don't want to harm me......"

Lao Xiao took out a wooden sign from his arms: "The old man is a wolf guard, the law is unforgiving, you can do it yourself." ”

Xu Buling's frowning was a little inexplicable, but it was not easy to interrupt, and he was holding his hands behind his back at the moment, acting like a wolf guard.

Orion looked at the wolf guard token in Lao Xiao's hand and hesitated slightly: "I...... I really bumped into it by accident, and I definitely didn't get involved in it, and the two adults don't want to wronged the good guys. ”

Lao Xiao nodded: "Explain it honestly and clearly, it'll be fine, your mother-in-law and baby are still waiting for you to go back in the house." ”

Orion pulled the blanket, his eyes were a little tangled, and he hesitated for a long time before he said softly:

“…… I was listening in the crack in the stones, and the two leading men were healing, and one of them said, 'Be careful, there is a trap set by the hunters here, don't let anyone notice it.' If the news leaks, it will not be easy to explain to the Holy One.'"

Xu Buling frowned, squatted down in front of Orion, and stared at his eyes carefully: "Go on." “

“…… I thought, isn't the saint the emperor, the matter must be big, lying there and not daring to move, at that time another person said, 'Be sure to kill on the spot, you can plant it on the Qinzhou bandits if you do it here, and it will be difficult to start after Chen Cang.' ”

Xu Buling nodded-these two sentences are enough to prove that it was the son of the day who attacked him, and it was a dead hand.

"What weapons did those men use?"

"The one who was caught with a Pu knife, and the two leaders were both carrying big guns, black ones."

Xu Buling stood up, frowned, and thought about it slightly. It's a pity that his memory is confused, and he can't remember anything except the fight and the bottle under his feet.

Lao Xiao raised his cane and tapped it on Orion's neck, pondering slightly:

"The two assassins led at that time were indeed spears, and one of them was not very flexible in his legs and feet, and he was killed by the little prince as soon as possible...... This person's words are not fake, they have just been carefully tested, not like a spy dead soldier, maybe he really saw it by accident. ”

Xu Buling frowned and pondered for a moment: "What he saw is estimated to be true...... Now I should be locked in the dragon Gu poison time is running out, and I am suffering from the hearts of ten thousand ants every moment, and I happen to find out that the murderer behind the scenes is the saint, and I have the intention of killing me...... What am I going to do? ”

Lao Xiao took a breath: "I can't find the antidote to the Lock Dragon Gu, there is no way out in a desperate situation, I can only wait for death, the murderer is nearby, what else can I do?" ”

"I can't enter the imperial city, my father is still here, and I have no choice but to take revenge."

"It just so happens that in a few days, the saint will go out of the palace to observe the martial arts competition between Tang Jiao and Situ Yueming, the little prince is a contemporary Qingkui, and he can be there."

"Stimulate me again that day, make me crazy and unable to control myself, and run to kill the Son of Heaven."

Speaking of this, Xu Buling blinked his eyes, a little puzzled:

"Alone in Chang'an, I am already desperate and will die, what else can make me crazy and desperate?"

Lao Xiao thought about it:

"Mrs. Lu."

Xu Buling's eyes were cold, and there was a crunch sound under his feet, and a few stripes cracked.

Lao Xiao sighed and walked to the door with a cane:

"That's Mrs. Lu, I'll keep an eye on it to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Xu Buling took a breath and looked in the direction of the imperial city, and the figure disappeared into the room silently......
