"Come out, she's gone." The second prince said to the empty study.

I saw a man wearing a mask jumping off the beam of the house.

"The regent is becoming more and more arrogant now, don't you see his attitude towards his father at the palace banquet today, but he looks high." No matter how well the second prince hides it on weekdays, behind his back, he will show the most vicious side.

"I can't see it, you still care about the emperor." The masked man asked tentatively.

The second prince didn't think much about it, but replied casually: "The queen mother has gone, and now I only have my father, of course I care about him." ”

This is a little false and a little true, the masked man laughed, "People who do great things will not have these unwarranted emotions, not to mention that you were born in the emperor's family, although only the crown prince wants to compete with you for the throne, but he is not the biggest threat to you, the emperor is." ”

The crown prince is just a prince, and it is not certain whether he can sit on the throne, but if the emperor is gone, whoever sits on that seat will depend on his own ability.

Gu Jiuxiao is not a dull person, and he can understand the meaning of his words, but the emperor has always cared for him, and he can't do it until the last resort.

"I understand what you said, this matter still needs to be carefully considered, after thinking about it, I will naturally give you an answer."

The second prince issued an eviction order, and he needs to think about many things, and now he just wants to be alone.

The masked man didn't say anything more, and soon left the study, when he went out, he looked up at the moon in the sky, today is extraordinarily round, just wanted to relax his mood, and suddenly felt that there was one more person behind him.

He immediately drew the sword in his hand and moved away from the position he had just placed as fast as he could.

When he turned around, he found a woman standing there, and after seeing the person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back in its scabbard.

"Who are you!" Wang Zixuan looked at the masked man vigilantly, she searched for memories in her mind, but she had no impression of seeing this person at all.

"I'm here to help the second prince and help him deal with the regent. He said calmly.

"Against the Regent, up to you?" She obviously didn't believe it, how could the regent be so easy to solve.

"I see that you don't like that regent very much, if the regent falls, that woman is not at your disposal, in fact, the purpose of the two of us is the same, we both hope that the second prince can sit on the throne, why do you have so much hostility to me."

Just a few words, Wang Zixuan changed his opinion of him, this person is very good at encouraging people's hearts, he can even see what you think in your heart, it is really a little scary.

"Who the hell are you!" The more panicked I was, the more I wanted to know his identity.

"Oni-sama!" He said three words slowly.

Wang Zixuan can conclude that in the memory of her previous life, there has never been such a person, which proves that maybe he is a very dangerous person, but she can't control so much now, just simply get rid of the Wang family's mother and daughter, it is no longer enough to satisfy her, she wants to get rid of Bai Xiyue.

"How are you going to deal with them?"

The ghost laughed, and he knew that this woman would definitely agree to cooperate with him, because a person's eyes could not hide the desire in his heart.

"I believe that you are a smart person, the regent is not a god, invincible, if the second prince sits on the throne, who does he want to solve, why should he be patient, there are some things I am inconvenient to say, I believe that the side concubine you know how to advise."

After he finished speaking, he left, the second prince's side concubine, has a ruthlessness and mind that does not fit her age, he has inadvertently seen her before, at that time he has already remembered this person, and she will definitely become the most critical person for the second prince to sit on the throne in the future.

Wang Zixuan immediately knew what to do through his guidance in a few words, and she went to find the second prince that night.

According to the customs of the Tianyuan Kingdom, the queen's coffin stayed in the palace for seven days, and was finally transported to the imperial tomb for burial.

In the next seven days, the emperor ordered people to do seven days and seven nights of ritual outside the imperial mausoleum, this time it has been half a month to toss, but it is not over, the last thing is to put the tablet in Xiangguo Temple.

There is an ancestral hall in Xiangguo Temple that is dedicated to placing the royal tablet, but not all the people in the royal family have this honor to be placed there, only the emperor and queen, and some more favored concubines, the prince who has contributed to the Tianyuan Kingdom, they can be placed on it after a hundred years.

This is a very solemn thing, the process is also more troublesome, it takes a long time to prepare, the queen died too suddenly, everything can only be simple.

Even so, all the members of the royal family were to be present.

The Regent is no exception.

Although Bai Xiyue was not very interested in this kind of thing, she remembered that someone had said before that she would take him to Xiangguo Temple to meet someone, and she was still very curious about the identity of that person, and she could satisfy her curiosity today.

Xiangguo Temple is a section of road away from Yuancheng, it is built on a mountain, the position is very high, the stairs alone have built many floors, except for taking the stairs there is no other way to go up the mountain, this is also to test whether those who come to the incense are sincere.

When Bai Xiyue and they arrived, the mountain was already full of people, all of whom came for the queen's affairs.

She was a little curious, and got out of the carriage and ran to the steps to see that they were made of stone slabs layer by layer, and when she looked up, it was winding and long, as if there was no end in sight.

"Lord, there are so many steps, how did the emperor go up." He didn't believe that this person of the Ninety-Five Venerable would climb the stairs by himself, and if he suddenly couldn't breathe halfway up, probably these people who came to deliver the tablets would not have to come a second time.

"The emperor has someone to carry him up, of course he won't go up in person, even if it's his own wife, it's not worth his trouble." Gu Yichen said in a mocking tone, and it could be seen that he didn't like this imperial brother very much.

After the two of them were talking for a while, many people had already gone up the mountain one after another, and of course those palace nobles would not go up in person, they were all carried up step by step by by the servants of the family in a special palanquin.

It looks like it's a lot of enjoyment. Bai Xiyue looked around and asked, "Where's our sedan chair?" ”

"We don't have a sedan chair." Gu Yichen spread his hands.

"Nope!" He was stunned for a moment, looked around again, and made sure that there was no other sedan chair except for the carriage he was sitting in just now, "Then, how can we go up, such a high step, should we go up step by step." ”

"Of course not," he stepped forward and took the man in his arms, "this king has another way to take you up, and it is guaranteed to be faster than taking a sedan chair." ”

"What a way!"

"Hold me tight."

She obediently hugged his waist, and the next second she only felt that the scenery around her was regressing, and the wind was blowing, and after a while they reached the top of the mountain.

"Wang, lord, next time you use light work, can you tell me in advance." She complained dissatisfied.

"Okay, next time this king will let you know in advance." Gu Yichen gently pinched her nose and smiled dotingly.

"Well, how are they going to come up?" Bai Xiyue thought that she couldn't leave them at the bottom of the mountain, no matter how she said it, it was a wilderness, and there were so many people coming today, there would always be danger.

"Madame, don't worry, they are not vegetarians either, they will be brought up soon, you don't have to worry, we will go in first."

Gu Yichen doesn't like her to put her mind on others, especially when she is with herself.

After speaking, he took her hand and entered the gate of Xiangguo Temple leisurely.

They came up early, and at the moment there was no one in front of the door, and he didn't need anyone to guide him, so he turned into a courtyard at the back of him.

The yard is very large, and there is a ginkgo tree planted in it, which has grown as tall as the house at the moment, and the yard is full of golden leaves.

It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, "Lord, is there anyone living here?" ”

"Yes, he has always liked to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, so he lives in the middle of nowhere." Gu Yichen explained briefly.

Continue to walk inside, cross the front yard, and then come to a room in front of the house, there is a sound of knocking wooden fish in the house, a gust of wind blows, and you can smell the faint fragrance of sandalwood.

took her hand, stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Master Huichan, Yichen has something important to ask for." ”

His movements were full of respect, and even his tone was deliberately slowed down, which made Bai Xiyue even more curious about the identity of the people in that room, and what kind of identity the person in the room could make the regent respectful, and it was the first time she had seen it.

After a long time, there was no movement inside, and she waited a little anxiously, but she also knew that she couldn't talk nonsense at this time, just stood quietly.

After another quarter of an hour, the door finally opened, and inside was a peaceful old man, dressed in a monk's robe, washed a little white, and looked like it had been some time.

"You haven't been here for a long time, come in and sit." The old man slowly opened the door and gave way for them to enter.

Bai Xiyue only then discovered that this small house, which looks inconspicuous from the outside, has a lot of things inside, and there is another small courtyard in this small house, which is full of all kinds of flowers and plants on both sides, and a small pond built with a single door, in which two red carp are raised.

There was a stone table not far from the pond, and the three of them sat down, and three cups of tea had already been poured on the table.

"Tell me, what's the matter here?" The old man said slowly.

"Master Hui Chan, do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?" Gu Yichen asked very seriously.

Bai Xiyue heard his question, the hand holding the cup paused, and the old man glanced at her and quickly looked away.
