On the second floor of the waterfront Zhaohua, there was the laughter of the King of You.

All the palace guards outside the building were all worried.

You must know that the emperor's new funeral, all the mansions will be white, and even the Qinglou Theater in the city will be closed, but their prince laughed so loudly.

And the second prince is still in the house, prince, can't you keep a low profile?

Wei Jiuxiao didn't even wipe the water off her body, so she took Yu Miaomiao to the bedroom.

Yu Miaomiao's face was a little hot, and she put her hands on his chest.

Wei Jiuxiao greeted her so unobtrusively, observing her face.

"Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?" He said tentatively.

Her soul was not stable, and he hesitated.

Yu Miaomiao licked her lips, "Whatever, if you want to come, be happy." ”

Wei Jiuxiao's breath stagnated.

His stupid fish nature is really wild.

Although Wei Jiuxiao was a little hesitant, he was enthusiastic, and neither of them wanted to care about anything else.

As soon as the two of them rolled into bed, they heard the sound of strings outside the window.

The sound of the piano seems to blend all the sorrows in the world, and every string movement seems to touch the bottom of people's hearts, and the listener is sad.

The fiery moments of the two were like being poured a basin of cold water.

Wei Jiuxiao took a deep breath. Let go of Yu Miaomiao.

"Where's the sound of the piano?" Yu Miaomiao said unexpectedly, no one in the palace can play the piano in the middle of the night, and now that the emperor in the city is newly mourned, who dares to play the piano.

Wei Jiuxiao casually pulled the middle coat on the back of the chair and put it on his body.

"Where are you going?" Yu Miaomiao saw that he looked like he was going out.

"It's Du Xinya." Wei Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.

Yu Miaomiao was taken aback.

Du Xinya?

That wandering luthier of the Gu clan?

Yu Miaomiao also sat up.

Wei Jiuxiao went out first, and Yu Miaomiao hurriedly began to dress.

Outside the water, the guards held sharp blades and stared vigilantly at the path not far away.

A faint shadow from far to near, and the sound of the piano gradually drifted in front of people.

"Duqinist." Wei Jiuxiao stood still and looked at the figure walking on the path.

The piano stopped.

Du Xinya held the piano in his arms and smiled elegantly.

"Late night visit, excuse me."

The guards all looked calm, obviously displeased.

It's enough to have a love of life and death, and now there is such a Shinto luthier, are all these people not used to walking through the door?

How did she get in, was it a ghost in the middle of the night?

Everyone looked at Du Xinya's feet in unison.

It is said that ghosts have no shadow, but there is a clear shadow under Du Xinya's feet.

"Did you disturb the prince?" Du Xinya bent his eyes and smiled at Wei Jiuxiao.

Wei Jiuxiao clearly saw a playful look in her eyes.

She did it on purpose.

She knew what he was doing in the building with Stupid Fish just now, so she deliberately played a sad tune to vent their anger.

"When I first returned to the Imperial City, I didn't want to, but I couldn't find a place to stay." Du Xinya said calmly, "All the inns in the city are closed, and I am a weak woman, and it is always unsafe to live alone outside, so I came to find the king of You." I want to ask for a room. ”

Wei Jiuxiao's eyebrows raised.

A weak woman?

If someone had seen her slaughtering Yin Gongzi's men with the sound of the piano that night, they wouldn't have thought so.

Du Xinya covered his mouth with his hand and yawned.

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed, and she summoned Ming Ruyan, "Take Master Du Qin to the guest room." ”

Ming Ruyan came over, but Du Xinya didn't follow him, his eyes passed through Wei Jiuxiao, and he looked behind him, "Miss Yu seems to be a little wrong." ”

Wei Jiuxiao followed her gaze and turned back. I saw Yu Miaomiao running downstairs with her skirt.

He turned and strode over, stopping her halfway through.

"Who allowed you to go downstairs." He glared at her, and the first thing he did was look down at the pink jade pendant tied to her wrist.

Her soul is unstable, and if Pink Jade is broken by her recklessly, it will be a big trouble.

Du Xinya looked at Yu Miaomiao, "Miss Yu, what did she encounter, why is her soul unstable?" ”

Wei Jiuxiao and Yu Miaomiao were stunned at the same time.

"How do you tell?" Yu Miaomiao asked puzzled.

"By the way, she is a member of the Gu clan." Wei Jiuxiao helped his forehead, there have been too many things recently. He almost forgot about it.

"Master Duqin, please go upstairs to talk, this king has something to ask for." Wei Jiuxiao was blunt.

Du Xinya responded generously and followed Wei Jiuxiao upstairs.

Wei Jiuxiao briefly said Yu Miaomiao's matter, and Du Xinya hugged the piano as if thinking about something.

Yu Miaomiao sat among them, looking at Wei Jiuxiao for a while, and Du Xinya for a while.

"Is this difficult?" She whispered, "If it's a problem, forget it, I'm fine right now anyway." ”

Wei Jiuxiao glanced at her as if warning.

Yu Miaomiao was not afraid of him, "I'm telling the truth, as long as I'm careful, it's a big deal to go to the south and then go to Gu Yue." ”

"Gu Yue is not in the Imperial City?" Du Xinya suddenly burst out.

"Yes, he went to the south with the painter Su Yuan first, and Wei Jiuxiao took over the emperor's mission to rebuild the Feng Pagoda."

The smile on Du Xinya's face disappeared, and he muttered, "No wonder I can't find my heart, it turned out that I was taken away by him?"

Yu Miaomiao didn't know why, "What is a heart sound?" ”

"That's my piano."

"You went back to the Imperial City this time to find your qin?"

Du Xinya gently stroked the guqin he was holding in his arms, "That's it, it's rare to ask King Youyou to open his mouth once, and I will respond." ”

Wei Jiuxiao's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

"I have one condition, though." Du Xinya continued.

"Master Duqin, please speak."

Du Xinya smiled slightly, "I want the cold bead in your hand." ”

Yu Miaomiao gasped.

How could Du Xinya know that Wei Jiuxiao had an ice cold bead in his hand.

From Wei Jiuxiao's face, he couldn't see any mood fluctuations on his face at all, he nodded, "As long as the princess of this king can be safe, Bing Hanzhu can send you." ”

"Wei Jiuxiao, you're crazy." Yu Miao was anxious and tried her best to wink at him.

Isn't it true that he is looking for the Fire Cloud Bead everywhere just to make a pair with the Ice Cold Bead, and only after he gets it together can he restrain the ghost energy on his body.

Du Xinya said leisurely: "Since this is the case, please ask the prince to prepare a quiet room quickly." ”

Wei Jiuxiao summoned Ming Ruyan and asked him to clean up a room for Du Xinya to help Miao Miao strengthen her soul with the sound of the piano.

Du Xinya took the piano to the quiet room first.

Yu Miaomiao grabbed Wei Jiuxiao's sleeve, "Ghost claws." How can you give her the Ice Beads! ”

Wei Jiuxiao said calmly, "Why not?" ”

"Your Left Hand"

"As long as this king lives, he will have a chance to find other ice beads." Wei Jiuxiao reached out and tapped her forehead.

Yu Miaomiao was entangled, "But this Ice Cold Bead was obtained by you with great difficulty, so it's a pity to give it away." ”

"This king has always felt that he is an unfortunate person, and luck has never had anything to do with this king." Wei Jiuxiao reached out and pinched her cheek.

Yu Miaomiao didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, and looked at him with wide eyes and puzzled.

"Fry fry." Wei Jiuxiao's eyes fell on her face, and her hoarse voice made her feel a little numb behind her.

I don't know how. She suddenly remembered the half-"passion" just now.

"It's Yu Miaomiao," the corners of her lips curled.

She had already discovered that it was just a flair for him to call her that.

"This king seems to have become lucky after meeting you." Rough fingers rubbed against her face.

"Huh?" Yu Miao Miao was at a loss.

"What this king means is that if you are too lucky, this king should be content." It's impossible for everything to go well, he has long learned to look at it openly.

Besides, as long as he could keep her safe, he felt that even if he exchanged it for the Ice Cold Bead, it would be worth it.

"Du Xinya used to say that there may be Huoyun Beads on Chiyun Island, and when the matter in the Imperial City is over, this king will take you south. By the way, go to find that Chiyun Island. ”

"We're going on an adventure!" Yu Miaomiao's eyes lit up suddenly.

Laughing happily, he could see the bottom of her heart at a glance.

His stupid fish has always been idle.

"Yes, go on an expedition with this king." A slight smile appeared on the corner of Wei Jiuxiao's lips.

But before that, some things in the palace still need to be stabilized, and he doesn't want a fire in the backyard to be stabbed from behind by someone at that time.

Yu Miaomiao followed Ming Ruyan to the quiet room.

Wei Jiuxiao listened to the faint sound of the piano wafting from the quiet room, and felt a little dizzy.

He remembered what Prime Minister Yin Cheng said before he died: "Wei Jiuxiao, if you kill me, your father will always be trapped in that place"

What exactly does this mean? He couldn't figure it out.

On the second floor of the waterfront flowers, the sound of the zhengzheng piano lasted for a long time.

In the dark shadows, Lian Shengyi stood there, looking at the small building lit by candlelight.

Three thousand crows stood on his shoulder, tilting their heads.

"I really can't see that this prince really likes that stupid woman."

There are no words for life and death, staring intently at a certain place, and the whole person is like a sculpture.

"Little Love, when are we leaving here?" Three thousand crows killed.

"When the piano stops, let's go." Love life and death said lightly.

"Are you really willing?"

Lian Sheng's eyes drooped, and his eyes were hidden in the darkness as bright as the universe, and no one could see the loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

"She's not cute." His tone was firm.

"Okay." The three thousand crows shook their wings helplessly, "But can you wait a few more days before leaving?" ”

There was some surprise in love with life and death, "What do you mean?" ”

"I've got some more things to do, uh, some things to do."

"What's the matter with you?" Lian Shengsheng turned his head to look at the crow that landed on his shoulder.

"What kind of eyes are you!" The three thousand crows cried out angrily, "I'm not a real bird, why can't I have my own business." ”

Lian Shengsheng narrowed his eyes, "Is it the second prince's business?" ”

The three thousand crows were killed, twisting their necks and refusing to pay attention to him.

"Little Crow, he's just an ordinary person." Love and death admonished.

"I know."

"He won't live for a hundred years."

"I know! I don't need to say it! ”

"You're a bird."

"I'm not a bird, I'm a holy thing, a holy thing!" The three thousand crows were finally angry, and the feathers all over their bodies exploded, "It's the name that His Highness Yin Si personally chose for me, when I served by His Highness Yin Si's side." You don't know where to feed! ”

It roared towards the love of life.

Love Life and Death has been quiet, allowing the three thousand crows to kill and vent their dissatisfaction.

"Three thousand, you're here." A panting figure ran on the path in the garden.

The three thousand crows were instantly quiet, but their attitude was still bad: "Feng Leizhi, what are you doing again!" ”

"I'm looking for your help." Feng Leizhi said honestly, and at the same time looked at Lian Shengsheng uneasily, "Lian Gongzi, can I borrow your three thousand and one for use?" ”

Lian Sheng's face was expressionless, and the three thousand crows were killed. "Don't you hate him very much?"

The three thousand crows froze all at once, like a dumb bird made of wood, stunned.

"If you hate him, I'll send him away for you." Love life and death are also merciless in front of Feng Leizhi.

"Who's using you to meddle with things." The three thousand crows said angrily, and it flew away from Xiao Lian's shoulder, "You don't need to worry about my business. ”

Feng Leizhi watched in confusion as the three thousand crows flew away, and then looked at the love and killing, only to see him turn around and look at the small building where the sound of the piano kept coming out.

Feng Leizhi had no choice but to chase out after the three thousand crows, "Three thousand." Wait a minute, I have something to say to you."

"Fuck off, I don't want to see you."

"Thank you for last time."

"Who said they didn't want to see me again!"

"Who made you always love to mess around and bite people at that time."

"You're biting!" There was a sound of wings flapping in the distance, mixed with Feng Leizhi's exclamation.

"You fierce bird, you only praised you for a few words and showed your true colors!"

"Tell me again, believe it or not, I ate you!"

"Don't you only eat gold?"

"I don't mind eating a few people once in a while"

Listening to the quarrel that was gradually moving away behind him, Lian Shengshou pulled up his hood and covered himself, and also covered the loneliness and loneliness of his body.

The sound of the piano lasted for a long, long time.

It didn't subside until the next morning.

Ming Ruyan watched the copper kettle dripping and ordered to go down and prepare breakfast.

Wei Jiuxiao didn't sleep all night and waited outside the quiet room.

He didn't sleep, and neither did the people below, and they all listened to the sound of the piano.

Although it was morning, the sky was still ghostly, and it was no different from night.

Du Xinya was the first to come out of the quiet room.

"How?" Wei Jiuxiao asked.

Du Xinya covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, "Can't you still believe my ability?" ”

Wei Jiuxiao's expression relaxed slightly, and he went to see Yu Miaomiao first.

Yu Miaomiao sat on the futon, and there was another empty futon opposite her, thinking that they would sit face to face at night.

But this will make Yu Miaomiao sleep without a human form, crooked there, with her small mouth open. There was still a shiny saliva at the corner of his mouth.

Wei Jiuxiao didn't wake her up, and directly carried her back to the dormitory first, then went to the study, took the brocade box containing the ice cold beads, and handed it to Du Xinya.

"The prince really believes in his word." Du Xinya took the box with a smile.

Wei Jiuxiao handed over the ice cold beads, and she didn't even feel distressed.

Ming Ruyan saw it and sighed secretly.

In their prince's heart, the most important thing has quietly changed.

As long as their princess is safe, their prince really doesn't care about anything.

Du Xinya stayed in the palace for two days. The third day was goodbye.

Wei Jiuxiao didn't say anything after she found out.

Ming Ruyan heard some news, "This time there was a mutation in the palace, and many people died in the Gu clan, and Du Xinya returned to the clan, but he only stayed for half a day and left." ”

Wei Jiuxiao was sitting in the study on the second floor at the moment, looking at the letter in her hand, "Where did she go?" ”

"It seems to be out of the city," Ming Ruyan said dejectedly, "This person's whereabouts are uncertain, just like a lover." ”

Wei Jiuxiao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and Ming Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he doesn't do his best, it's that Du Xinya, the pianist, is too weird, and the people he sent to keep an eye on her can't keep an eye on her at all.

The second prince and others have been living in the palace of the king of Youyou.

The situation in the palace has changed abruptly, and only the palace is calm.

In the court, the major forces sang and I appeared, and they all wanted to get a piece of the pie in front of the new prince, but Wei Jiuxiao never showed up.

There were even rumors in the court that King Youyou was involved in the murder of the emperor, so he was imprisoned by the crown prince in the palace, along with several princes.

The emperor's coffin was parked in the palace for several days, and officials of all sizes entered the palace to mourn.

Wei Jiuxiao left the palace with the second prince Feng Leizhi and others.

Yu Miaomiao did not officially marry Wei Jiuxiao, so she didn't have to show up.

Feng Leizhi and the others cried and mourned in the palace for several days, and they always followed Wei Jiuxiao, so nothing happened.

The Criminal Department quickly raided the Prime Minister's Mansion and found countless evidence of "rebellion" in the mansion.

The queen is the daughter of Prime Minister Yin. So it was also involved.

Although the queen has repeatedly stated that she did not participate in her father's "rebellion" plan, several important ministers in the court still signed a joint statement, demanding that the queen be sent to the cold palace.

The queen was frightened and frightened.

She never imagined that she would end up in such a field.

She is also the queen anyway, her son is the crown prince, and she will be the emperor after succeeding to the throne, and she is the queen mother.

didn't want the courtiers to suddenly attack her, and in the end, even Princess Yongqing stood up and asked the prince to abolish her, the future "queen mother".

The crown prince was besieged by the ministers and was in a dilemma, so he had to nod in the end, but he only agreed to imprison the queen in the cold palace, and the title of the queen mother was still retained.

The ministers struggled for a few days, and when they saw that the prince had made up his mind, they had no choice but to make concessions.

The queen was forced to move into the cold palace.

She has the title of Queen Mother, but she will be imprisoned here for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, the prince has not forgotten her, and everything he usually needs has been prepared. From time to time, eunuchs would be sent to see her.

Half a month later, the emperor's coffin was finally buried, and the matter of succession was finally put on the agenda.

Originally, the emperor's coffin had to stay in the palace for 100 days, and the crown prince was not allowed to succeed to the throne for another year, but now the situation in the imperial city is unusual.

The ghost in the sky has not been able to disperse.

The people of the city were so frightened that some had quietly moved out of the city.

"If this continues, I'm afraid the people in the city will have to escape elsewhere." The minister said.

The prince had a childish little face, looking a little helpless.

"What can you do?"

"According to the minister's opinion, the king of Youyou should be sent to the south as soon as possible to rebuild the Feng Pagoda."

The prince frowned and shook his head slightly.

"It's not a day's work to rebuild the Phoenix Tower, is there any way to get rid of the ghost qi in the sky above the imperial city as soon as possible?"

"Invite more soul masters." It was proposed.

The prince was unmoved.

None of the soul masters in the palace had succeeded before, and the Gu clan had suffered heavy losses, and he hadn't finished cleaning up this mess yet, and now it was obviously not a way to recruit soul masters.

"The minister has a plan." An old minister took a step forward.

"Speak."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come to worship the heavens in person."

Hearing this, a whisper sounded among the ministers.

The prince was silent.

"Worshipping the heavens is indeed a method."

"Yes, the prince is the blood of the royal family, and coming to the sky in person will definitely dispel the ghost spirit in the city and bless the people to be safe."

"But if it doesn't work"

"What are you saying, the prince is the true son of heaven, how can it not be done."

"The ghost spirit in the city is vigorous, and if the prince fails to worship the sky, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed to the throne."

The ministers talked a lot, and the prince lowered his eyes and listened to everyone silently.

Until the ministers dispersed, the hall was empty, and the prince remained in his chair.

The eunuch who was serving him on the side said worriedly: "Your Highness, it's time for you to go back." ”

The prince sat still.

The eunuch had no choice but to call again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, everyone is gone, you should also go back to the palace." ”

The prince came back to his senses at this time, and just walked to the door, he suddenly saw several familiar figures walking not far away.

"Second Emperor Brother!" The prince's eyes lit up.

"The prince is there." The little princess's voice rang out.

The prince quickly looked around, whispered to the eunuchs around him, and then went away without looking back.

The little princess was stunned, "Why did the prince leave, didn't he see us?" ”

Feng Leizhi covered the little princess's mouth and didn't let her say any more.

At this moment, the eunuch came over and whispered a few words in Feng Leizhi's ear.

Feng Leizhi understood and left with the little princess and the third prince.

As soon as the prince returned to the palace, his confidant eunuch came in and said, "Second Highness, they are here." ”

The prince was overjoyed and asked him to bring Feng Leizhi and the others in.

"I've seen the second emperor brother, the third emperor brother." The prince stood up and saluted the two brothers respectfully.

The eunuch on the side was a little surprised.

You must know that the crown prince will be the emperor in the future, how can he salute others.

Feng Leizhi smiled and reached out to hold his arm. "I'll just say that the prince won't ignore us, no matter what, we're brothers."

The prince glanced out the door worriedly.

The eunuch understood, "The slave went out to watch, and His Highness was relieved." ”

The eunuch went out.

Only then did the prince relax, invited Feng Leizhi and them to sit down, and asked long and short questions.

Feng Leizhi also told him what happened when they lived in the Youyou Palace.

"Sacrifice to the sky?" Feng Leizhi touched his chin and said indignantly, "Those old guys just don't have a backache when they stand and talk, and worshipping the sky is just a cover, I always feel that they don't want you to succeed to the throne." ”

The prince himself is weak, and he has been overworked recently, and the sides of his cheeks have lost weight, and his eyes have become bigger.

"Why don't they want the crown prince to succeed to the throne?" The little princess doesn't know why.

"Naturally, someone is peeking on the throne." Feng Leizhi said disdainfully, "But don't worry, prince, I have already found a reliable person to help, if those old guys let you preside over the heavenly ceremony, you don't have to be afraid, just go boldly, I will let the sun come out to show them." ”

Feng Lei Zhi smiled at this called a rampant, showing the middle and two winds, "Let them see what the real power is!" ”
