Seeing that I was puzzled, she continued: "I was going to rescue you on the night you were put in prison, and when I got to the gate of the prison, I first hid behind the stone pier, but I saw a man in black, wearing a black mask, and rushed directly to the door, without moving a finger, and all the guards at the door fell down......."

She's talking about the Night Shadow King.

"Then, every night, I saw him standing on the roof of his cell, and he fought off several waves of Assassins. Sister, how did you know this powerful character, it's almost a lethal move! The more Xiao Tian spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became louder and louder.

I hurriedly motioned for her to be silenced. But my heart was churning, it turned out that the Night King had done so much for me, and I didn't know anything.

So, in this matter, is he obeying King Ning Yuan, or is he in his own heart?

In any case, when I hear this, my heart is always warm, and then, there is a faint uneasiness.

Xiaotian asked me about the silver ticket again. I told him to keep it for now, and I'll look for her when I need it urgently.

Before leaving, she gave me a map so that when I could use it, I went to the quiet flower valley north of Kyoto to find her.

After she left, I stood alone quietly for a while, and slowly returned to the gate of Mu Mansion, where Mu Zixiao was still waiting, not panicking at all.

I'm not in a hurry to get into the sedan chair. Because after Xiaotian said those things just now, I changed my mind.

I told Mu Zixiao that I was not going to return to Yunju. I want to find out what happened on my own.

Mu Zixiao's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

It's the first time I've seen him so out of shape.

Obviously, he didn't agree, but he knew that he couldn't resist me, so he had to promise me to ask King Ning Yuan for instructions.

"I just don't want to rely on someone else all the time!" I emphasize. That's right, when I heard Xiaotian say that the Night Ghost King was guarding the top of the prison for me every night, I decided, not because of anything else, it's just that I can't let others work hard for me, while I sit back and enjoy it. After all, it was my loved ones who died eight years ago.

Mu Zixiao sighed. So let me stay in the Mu Mansion and go to the Ningyuan Mansion to report by myself.

Soon he returned.

"What did King Ning Yuan say?" I said urgently.

"The prince only said two words." Mu Zixiao said.

"Approved?" I was secretly happy in my heart.

"."

This time it was my turn to widen my eyes.

As a result, that night, taking advantage of the moonlight, I was sent to Shuiyunju again. I was unwilling, but I couldn't help it, after all, this was not only my family feud, but also a power struggle, if it weren't for their protection, Yuan Qing and I would have become nameless ghosts.

However, in the end, I was unwilling. When I come back this time, in this place of light smoke and water, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to feel at ease.

That night, as soon as the two palanquin drivers left, a gust of cold wind blew into the bedroom, and the Night King came.

This time, he had a slight aura of gloom on him, just like the last time he was in the cell. I couldn't help but shrink my shoulders.

Soon, however, he seemed to be trying to control himself. Said coldly: "I heard that you are leaving Shui Yunju? ”

I was amazed at how the Night King knew so quickly, but I didn't have time to think about it, so I just nodded silently.

"Do you know how many people are going to kill you now!" There was a suppressed anger in his voice, but fortunately I couldn't see his expression.

"I don't know. But I know that people can't sleep at night for me, and I don't want to owe too much to others. ”

Seeing me say this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Others? Are you someone else? As he spoke, he walked towards me.

He was more than a head taller than me, and now he slowly leaned down towards me, there was not a trace of expression on the black mask, and I could feel the anger behind his mask, yes, he was angry. A powerful rage erupted all over me, as if it was about to burn me.

He said word by word: "I told you, I ......"

"I know you said you were pleased with me," I don't know where I got the courage to interrupt him. I don't know where the strength came from, I pushed him, but he didn't move. I couldn't care either, "But how long can your pleasure last?" I don't know your face, I don't know your background, except that you are the king of the night who fights violence and makes the villains fearful, I don't know anything about you, but you know my past well, perhaps, you will control my future......"

My eyes suddenly moistened, I choked up, and seeing that he was silent, I finally continued: "But what in this world lasts long? Parents will die, brothers will part, lovers will betray, and how long can the joy of Your Royal Highness the Night King be maintained? How long can I rely on you? If one day you get tired of it, then I can only die without knowing it? I just want to live in peace, on my own, even if I die, it's better than being abandoned by you!"

I said so much at once, it was as if I had hollowed out my heart, and it was the first time I had confided in front of another person. I closed my eyes gently, and I didn't know what would greet me in the face of this moody Night King.

I don't know how long later, a pair of warm hands covered my head, and I trembled slightly. It seems to hear the sound of the night breeze gently blowing through the window. Slowly, I don't seem to be so hopeless.

The black, night-like figure was close to me. I could hear him breathing. In the corner of his hanging cloak, there was a silver locust flower, shining in the candlelight.

After a long time, he called me in a low voice: "Jinse, you, don't worry. ”

The next day, before dawn, I went outside the house with a quiver to practice archery. The two arrows were fired in succession, and there was always one arrow that was soft and powerless, and it turned around in the middle of the way. I practiced restlessly.

The temperature on his hands was still in his hair last night. I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was already lying on the couch, and the Night King was gone.

I pulled the string hard, and the golden clouds on the bow glowed dimly, and the bowstring rattled.

I had a vague foreboding feeling that something was going to happen in Kyoto.

It's been a waste of time.

When the light came on again, I looked through the window and saw a group of people walking in the distance on the other side of the forest.

This time, I could see clearly that the man at the head was in a wheelchair, followed by a man in dark green clothes, and the two palanquin bearers put the palanquin on the edge of the forest, and they did not go forward. I know that they are both palanquin bearers and guards.

After a little tidying up, I slowly walked to the front of the water corridor and stood still.

When they got closer, I blessed my body and said, "Please forgive the prince." ”

"Forgive you for your sins?" King Ning Yuan asked casually.

"Jin Se has no merit, and it is a sin to ask the prince to come to visit in person." There was resentment in my tone, but I didn't dare to show it too obviously, so I had to vent it secretly.

King Ning Yuan didn't care, he looked at me: "This king is not here to visit you today. Something happened to Mu Fu. ”

I was startled, raised my head and said, "Is it Hua Nian?" ”

Sure enough, no wonder I was so upset yesterday. "Did she escape?"

Cheng Hao looked at me for a while before saying, "She's dead." ”

"Dead?" My head went blank for a moment, "How did you die?" ”

Cheng Hao turned away, as if he didn't want to say more.

Qinghe looked at him and said to me, "Last night, the secret guard we sent to Shilang's Mansion suddenly came back to report that Mrs. Shilang died violently, as if she had been poisoned to death. ”

I exclaimed, "How is that possible? Hua Nian himself understands medical skills, how can he be poisoned without knowing it? ”

After finishing speaking, I suddenly remembered Xiao Tian, could it be that Hua Nian's death was related to her Gu? Then he then asked, "Are you sure it's poison, not Gu?" ”

"Gu? Miss Jinse refers to...... The woman who disguised herself as a man and slipped into the house? "Clear the river.

My heart jumped, it turned out that they even knew about Xiaotian, so I carried jade out of the wall every night......

Seeing that I was silent, Qinghe seemed to know what I was thinking, and coughed lightly, and Cheng Hao also snorted lightly and shook his head slightly.

Qinghe continued: "Miss Jinse, rest assured, Mrs. Mu Shilang's death has nothing to do with that woman, she died of andrographis, which is a strong poison. ”

"Andrographis?" But who will have the opportunity to drug her? I suddenly felt a sadness in my heart, this woman who could have lived her life in peace and beauty finally became a wisp of grievances under this royal power.

"Hua Zhiyan, Hua Nian's father, how is he?" If someone wants to kill Hua Nian, it will definitely not leave Hua Zhiyan's life.

"Several dead men assassinated Hua Zhiyan that night and were stopped by us, but Hua Zhiyan is now seriously injured and his life hangs by a thread."

I held back the sorrow in my heart and thought quickly: "So, you came to me because the clue of the Hua family's father and daughter was broken, and now you want me to go out and lead the snake out of the hole?" ”

Without waiting for Qinghe to answer, Cheng Hao suddenly said coldly: "Arrogant!" ”

I was taken aback, and said hurriedly: "Then what do you mean by coming to me in person, isn't it because I proposed to find it in person and you refused?" In desperation, I called him "you".

Cheng Hao turned his head, but he didn't pursue it, only stared at me with his bewitching and deep eyes: "Listen, Hua Nian's death means that you went to Mu Mansion that night and were discovered." Hua Nian and Hua Zhiyan became outcasts. You may be the next one to die! ”

I stood there stunned, only to suddenly understand.

Cheng Hao asked me to pack some clothes and go back to Kyoto immediately. I walked back to the house in a daze, and suddenly turned my head and asked, "Is there a plum blossom mark on the inside of the arm of the dead man who assassinated Hua Zhiyan?" ”

Cheng Hao nodded.

Really.

Later, Qinghe told me that Cheng Hao's mother was called Concubine Mei, and because the lord of the country met her under the plum tree, he took Mei as his name. It's just that Concubine Mei has been dead for fifteen years. I am afraid that this plum blossom mark is intended to be framed by King Ningyuan.

When I left the house, I carried two bags on my back, one with a simple change of clothes, and the other with a finely wrapped bow of the clouds.

I heard Qinghe ask, "Lord Wang, are you still sending Miss Jinse to Mu Shilang's mansion?" ”

Cheng Hao turned his head to stare at Qinghe, and said after a while: "Ningyuan Palace." ”

Qinghe was under Cheng Hao's gaze, and there were actually fine beads of sweat. Hurriedly rushed to tell the palanquin man.
