Avoiding the occasional passing idler, Qiu Tang turned over and entered the old mansion of Chen Guoshi's mansion. It was still the same place that I had climbed into yesterday, and in broad daylight, the barren garden was desolate, less eerie than last night. Begonia tiptoed around the dry and rotten branches and leaves, and walked along the moss-covered cobblestone road to the back house.

Without the cover of the night, the desolation and dilapidation in the courtyard of the house came to the face, and Qiu Tang's heart hurt for a while, and he held back his tears several times before he walked to the door of the courtyard of the inner house, hesitated again and again, Qiu Tang still stretched out his hand, and pushed the door open with a squeak, the courtyard of the inner house was in ruins, the broken water tank, the stool cut into two sections, the porch column with knife marks, the green bricks on the ground were full of black marks that had been burned by the fire, the thick spider webs spread everywhere from the beams, and the spider silk fluttering in the wind fluttered coldly on Qiu Tang's face, The ghostly touch made Qiu Tang's heart more and more uneasy.

Climbing the stairs, he pushed open the door of the house, and it was also miserable inside, with upside-down chairs, torn table surrounds, overturned bowls, and broken vases on the ground.

Snorted, in addition to the smell of humidity in the air, it was still a familiar smell, Qiu Tang ripped off the broken table circumference, picked up the chair, gathered the broken porcelain pieces on the ground to the corner, and sat on the chair where his mother used to sit, Qiu Tang seemed to return to his mother's arms, curled up in the chair, just like curled up in his mother's arms, Qiu Tang's heart suddenly gushed out of the tremor that could not be stopped, tears could not be suppressed, Qiu Tang hugged herself, desperately suppressed the sound of crying, she couldn't cry, You can't let anyone know that there's someone here.

I don't know how long she sat on the chair, Qiu Tang finally cried tired, and her mood gradually stabilized, she wiped the table and chair with the broken table circumference, looked at the sunny sky outside the door, walked to the inconspicuous corner of the room where a tall table was placed, and moved away from the high table lying on the ground, Qiu Tang squatted down, trying to find the mechanism buckle that opened the secret passage, just at the moment when her fingers were about to touch the wall, Qiu Tang stopped.

This corner is a little too clean.

Qiu Tang had a trace of inexplicable fear in his heart, such a clean corner seemed so abrupt and out of place in such a dilapidated courtyard. Behind this unreasonableness, there must be a reality that I haven't discovered. Qiu Tang suddenly remembered the black shadow that flashed from behind him late last night, and couldn't help but feel a cold breath crawling down his back and all over his back.

Qiu Tang restored the high table to its original position, turned around and messed up the tables and chairs, kicked the debris on the ground, and restored everything as much as possible to what he saw when he first entered the door. After Qiu Tang did all this, he took a deep look at the corner of the wall, touched the whip hidden in the clothes behind him, and quietly withdrew. Closing the door, Qiu Tang's beating heart calmed down slightly, as if he had locked a terrible reality inside. She wasn't ready to uncover everything. Qiu Tang understood that if he stayed a little longer, he might be in danger, and in order to live and know all his true thoughts, Qiu Tang watched and listened to all directions, tiptoed over the wall and left Chen Guoshi's mansion again.

There was a slight friction sound, a crack opened in the clean corner wall, and an unkempt man came out of the wall, looked at the furnishings in the room, and couldn't help frowning more and more, but finally gave up the idea of chasing out, he retreated to the wall, closed the door of the secret passage again, and the house returned to a dead tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Qiu Tang panted and ran to Fengqi Pavilion, just in time for the girls of Fengqi Pavilion to get up and dress up, Qiu Tang under the leadership of Meng Ling'er and the first and second class girls of Fengqi Pavilion greeted each other, so they began to sit together under Meng Ling'er's arrangement, and follow Qiu Tang to learn how to match colors, how to hide threads, and how to embroider patterns vividly.

Qiu Tang slowly told the girls what she would do little by little, but what she had in her heart was the lingering corner.

"You Dexing ......" Mu Jianyu finally opened his eyes, and after a few days in a coma, Mu Jianyu finally regained consciousness again.

"Holy Lord, you are finally awake!" You Dexing was so excited that he almost cried.

"You Dexing, go, send the two generals Dragon and Tiger over. I have important things. Mu Jianyu was forced to prop himself up and half-lean on the head of the bed, and his heavy breathing did not affect his thinking in the slightest.

"Miscellaneous family is going now." You Dexing wiped the corners of his wet eyes and stumbled out.

Looking at You Dexing's back, Mu Jianyu's eyes suddenly hesitated, in the end, it was his own body, Mu Jianyu was very clear about his physical condition now, he knew that if he didn't do some things, he would really have no chance.

"Holy!" After a short time, the two generals of Dragon and Tiger stood in front of Mu Jianyu's bed.

"You Dexing, you go out and close the door." Mu Jianyu nodded and sent You Dexing out, until he heard the sound of the door closing, Mu Jianyu continued, "I'm afraid that my life will not be long, and I have something to ask the two generals." ”

"Although the Holy Lord commands, no matter whether you go up the sword mountain or go down to the sea of fire, the last general will not give up!" The two generals hurriedly knelt down and said in unison.

"Two generals, please." Mu Jianyu stretched out his hand and gave him a hand, "I have been fighting for power with the Queen Mother for many years, but I was finally trapped by the Queen Mother's will. The Queen Mother is not allowed to abolish the prince, I want to fight! Now that my body is not as good as day by day, I am afraid that if I don't act again, my body will really not be able to survive to see the new emperor ascend the throne. cough cough ......" Mu Jianyu interrupted his words with a rapid cough, General Long hurriedly poured a bowl of hot tea from the table and handed it to Mu Jianyu, Mu Jianyu drank it for a long time, and his face gradually became ruddy, "In the past, the first emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, I want to change, I want to see the prince I chose to ascend the throne with my own eyes, and I want to watch him sit firmly on my country!" Ahem...... "Another sharp cough.

"Holy Lord, pay attention to your body!" The dragon and tiger hurriedly supported Mu Jianyu, "The Holy Lord can rest assured, the last general will definitely send the prince appointed by the Holy Lord to the dragon chair and assist him to sit firmly in the country!" ”

"Good. You go back first to gather troops and horses, recuperate, and wait for my orders, then you will control the old ministers of the Empress Dowager's faction in the court, and try your best to let the crown prince ascend the throne smoothly. Mu Jianyu forced a cough and commanded the two.

"Holy Lord, rest assured." The two generals of Dragon and Tiger surrendered.

"You Dexing!" Mu Jianyu leaned on the head of the bed for a long time, and waited until his breath gradually stabilized, and then he called You Dexing, who was guarding the door, again, "Go and invite Bai Xi." ”

"Yes." Although You Dexing wanted to open his mouth to persuade Mu Jianyu to rest more, and it was not too late to summon Bai Xi when his body was healed, but looking at Mu Jianyu's cold and abnormal eyes, You Dexing's words of persuasion still did not speak.

After a while, Bai Xi knelt beside Mu Jianyu's bed, and at this time, only Mu Jianyu and Bai Xi were left in the room.

"Did you get it?" Mu Jianyu asked softly.

"Your Highness is very cautious, and I managed to get some a few days ago, but the Holy One is sick and can't use it now." Bai Xi lowered his eyes and replied.

"I'm fine today, you have to find a way to get it in the next two days. I want to know who he really is. Mu Jianyu's eyes were about to burst out of blood.

"The minister has the audacity to ask for one thing." Bai Xi thought for a while and said.

"Say."

"Please allow Your Highness to leave the palace."

"Stand down. Rong Zhen thought about it. Mu Jianyu didn't expect Bai Xi to make such a request. He needed to weigh it up.

"Yes." Bai Xi got up and left.

After about a cup of tea, Mu Jianyu summoned You Dexing again.

"What has the prince been busy with lately?"

"His Royal Highness has been in the Prince's Mansion recently, and he has not gone out for half a step." You Dexing replied.

"You go and tell Yi'er that from today onwards, he can enter and leave the prince's mansion freely, but he must not cause trouble." Mu Jianyu sighed lightly.

"Yes." It is said that no one can really guess the holy will, You Dexing is the person who has the deepest experience, Mu Jianyu, who was furious because Mu Lingyi left the Prince's Mansion a few days ago, actually ordered Mu Lingyi to be allowed to enter and leave the Prince's Mansion freely shortly after waking up today. You Dexing didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want to know. People who know too much often don't live long.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Li Xusong hurriedly stopped in front of Mu Lingyi.

"Get up!" Mu Lingyi's face was impatient, "The Holy Lord has allowed me to enter and leave the Prince's Mansion freely, why are you still holding back!" ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins," Li Xusong knelt in front of Mu Lingyi, "Before her death, the Queen Mother ordered someone to tell the miscellaneous family, no matter when, you must ensure the safety of Your Highness, now that the Holy Sacrament is sick, you are the prince, how many people in the court are staring at you!" ”

"Joke! Stare at me for what! Mu Lingyi sneered, "Most of the above the court is grass on the wall, the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord have been fighting for power for many years, it is nothing more than a few old ministers who play a role, and the others are all people who see the wind and steer the rudder, afraid of what they will do!" ”

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Li Xusong still wanted to stop Mu Lingyi, but Mu Lingyi quickly bypassed him and ran out in a hurry.

"Go to Soyudo!" Sitting in the sedan chair, Mu Lingyi commanded. He's going to find the girl he's seen in Mausoleum.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Li Xusong saw that he couldn't stop him, so he had to run out after him, following closely behind the sedan chair, for fear that Mu Lingyi would have some accidents.

The sedan chair went around and came to Shuyutang, Mu Lingyi got off the sedan chair, and the proprietress of the teahouse greeted her: "This master, please inside." ”

Mu Lingyi stood at the door, looking at the teahouse inside and out, most of the sparse tea customers in the teahouse sat quietly drinking tea, chatting in a low voice, completely losing the prosperity of the past. Mu Lingyi frowned: "What about the girl you sing here?" ”

"I'm sorry for this master, the old queen mother in the palace is gone, and the saint ordered a ban on the ringer, so we dismissed her." The hostess explained.

"Where did she go?"

"Oh, I don't know. ...... are you looking for her," the proprietress looked Mu Lingyi up and down with a pair of shrewd eyes.

"Look at what, look!" Li Xusong saw that the proprietress had something to say, and couldn't help but step forward to block between Mu Lingyi and the proprietress there, "Our lord must have something to do with that girl, don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" ”

"This master can't help it." The proprietress saw that Li Xusong's face was not good, and she guessed in her heart, I am afraid that only the master of the palace has this kind of pomp and bearing in the holy city. The proprietress sneered, "That girl is also a person with a hard life, if you have to find her, you can go to Xiufang Street to see, if there is no Xiufang Street, then it is estimated that you can only go to Fengqi Pavilion to try your luck." ”

"Bastard! Fengqi Pavilion is not a place where our master can go! Li Xusong interrupted the proprietress of her words.

"Go to Embroidery Street." Mu Lingyi didn't say more than half a sentence, he went directly into the sedan chair and told the sedan chair man to go to Xiufang Street.

As everyone knows, a few steps away, someone quietly followed.
