Canghai asked softly, can you have breakfast?

I nodded slowly with a calm face, but the thoughts in my heart were like birdsong outside the window, one after another.

When the shadow of the dark guard appeared, it was extremely rare, so little that even in the all-encompassing hundred schools of thought teahouse, there was no trace of the news of the dark guard, which proved that not many people had seen the dark guard.

Then it is certain that there are very few people with secret guards. It should belong to the tip of the pyramid of power in the imperial capital, the privilege of that small group of people, right?

I looked at the refreshing congee and raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, but my thoughts deepened.

If you can know that the way to control the secret guard is to easily hold the master protected by the secret guard hostage! In this case, wouldn't that mean that you can secretly control this empire?!

I was stimulated by my own thoughts, but my face was silent, I still took the porridge bowl handed over by Canghai, slowly lowered my head, and drank a sip of white jade seed rice porridge with just the right temperature.

The morning breeze rushed in from the window over the rice bead curtain, and I smelled the fresh snow, fresh and cold.

The few branches of vermilion plum sticking out under the eaves are as red as fire, and a few small and delicate broken jade phoenix feathers, lively and lovely cries, jumping and jumping among the plum branches, the bright and verdant feathers are dotted with fine deep purple gold spots, and the rows of tender orange feathers erected on the head are crowned. The beauty of this bird is unforgettable.

"The green jade phoenix feathers, the color is delicate, the frost and snow are proud, the colder the weather, the happier they are. Canghai's voice was as gentle as ever, filled with lingering breath, "Huan'er, they like to be in pairs, and they are pleasing to the eye." Do you think it's pretty?"

"It's so pretty!" I replied crisply, and the eating action was even more neat, and I put down the bowl, "I'm full, I want to take your new secret guard for me and go out for a walk, okay?"

"It snowed fresh last night, and the scenery in the courtyard is excellent, Huan'er will stroll around the courtyard and go out tomorrow, okay?" Canghai's tone of refusal was also soft, but it was unacceptable.

Canghai understood that I wanted to be alone, so he didn't insist on following me, picked up the porridge bowl, ate by himself, and walked away by me, so that I could enjoy my leisurely comfort.

This was once the garden of the Prince's Hidden Residence, and the scenery after the snow is truly amazing. There are not only the rough and free of the continuous mountains and stones, but also the exquisite and gorgeous pavilions and pavilions, and the gentleness and elegance of the bamboo pavilion in the flower hall.

In this world, all the beautiful things are waiting for people to see! It is precisely because those literati and writers have seen the beautiful scenery that they will be moved to create so many wonderful words that have been passed down through the ages!

Walking slowly, my eyes wandered all the way, and it was quite difficult to find a hidden place in this immaculately maintained garden.

Finally, I stopped at the edge of a cluster of Yaotai jade qionghua whose branches stretched for several meters.

This ancient plant, which has become extinct in modern times, is half wood and half vine, with its own branches and vines that climb and entangle freely. As a result, this plant grows with lush branches and tight roots, and within a few years it can grow into a tightly entangled flat form like an impermeable green wall.

The behemoth-like Yaotai jade qionghua in front of me has lived for hundreds of years, like a green ink ball with four or five floors, artificially pulled into an interesting labyrinth wall. I walked into the labyrinth for a long time, but I couldn't see the main branch that I was looking for, it seemed that it was completely obscured by the entanglement of side branches.

I gave up, and didn't care where the tree had started to grow, and looked at this strange luxuriant growth, completely beyond the normal state of plants! I walked forward casually, not worried that I would get lost in it, because I was followed by two ubiquitous secret guards!

Suddenly, in the corner of his eye, a dazzling light flickered in the deep emerald color, which was instantly covered by vines. I hurriedly took a step back and looked closely, and under the layers of jade-like leaf veins, there was actually a flower that bloomed proudly like an elf!

This one is in the cool color of all green, and the warm color is extremely swaggering

The flowers, like jade chimes as heavy light pink petals, are clustered around the bright golden stamens in layers, the irregular petal leaves stretch leisurely, and the end is along the edge, with a circle of delicate gold lines, and the whole flower looks brilliant, like a precious treasure with finely carved gold and jade!

I shook my head, recovered from the shock, and felt strange and inexplicable, such a huge plant, actually only blooming the only remaining flower? And every petal of this flower can bloom so stretched! In the cold and freezing, there are actually flowers that have been frosted and can still be unharmed? This is not scientific!?

I looked at this flower-like thing in amazement, and curiously reached out to pick it. As soon as my fingertips touched the petals, I only felt a hot pain, and quickly retracted my hand, with a familiar black stain on my fingers, I was stunned, this kind of plant ornamental in the garden is actually highly poisonous?!

"Help!" I shouted, a cluster of dark spots in front of me.

I felt that I was being held, I felt my fingertips being scratched, I felt that the black fog in front of me was gradually thinning, and I knew that I was saved.

"The flower!" I looked up at the glowing flower, watching as the Dark Guard picked it off with a sword. Before I had time to rejoice, I saw that the color of the flower was rapidly weakening, and in the moment it was raised before my eyes, the flower was eclipsed and decayed like ashes.

"Thank you," I said, my voice trembling slightly, and sure enough, the more beautiful things disappeared faster, and they were short-lived!

The two guards helped me to sit in the flower pavilion next to me, bowed respectfully at the same time, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, the grace of saving your life will be reciprocated," I said, gasping and glaring in my eyes, "if I want to give you back your freedom, do I have to give you a deed of sale?"

"The deed of sale doesn't get us away. There was a hint of emotion in the dark guard's flat voice.

"Is it because your family is being taken hostage?" I gasped and my voice was crisp, "I can figure out how to do this." ”

"Thank you for your kindness. The dark guard lowered his head, and the black cloth masked face was instantly hidden in the black coat hood, and there was a trace of helplessness in accepting his fate.
