Chapter 39: The Confrontation in the Great Hall

Royal guards like the black kite can generally only be called by the emperor or prince. At least should be a direct member of the royal family.

The eldest prince of Northern Qi, if he is still alive, should be the age of Bai Xiying.

It's just that it doesn't feel like it's realistic.

After all, how can a person be resurrected after death?

Seeing An Yuan's hesitation, Cui Yin said, "I think, Lord Shaoqing should have thought of it." ”

An Yuanwu shook his head, "This is just a conjecture between you and me, and it is the most unrealistic conjecture. If Kungo is really a black kite, then I prefer to believe that the white shadow is another minority of the black kite who holds power. ”

Cui Yin said again: "Lord Shaoqing, have you ever thought about why the white shadow is reluctant to show people in his full form, just because he is afraid of being recognized?" ”

"Cui Yin, you must know that people cannot be resurrected after death, and it was clear three years ago that the royal family of Northern Qi had been martyred. If there is an extra Northern Qi royal family out of thin air at this time, how do you want those people from three years ago to explain, and how do you want the two of us to gain a foothold? ”

Cui Yin sighed and said, "So, how does Lord Shaoqing plan to solve the case?" Is it to tell His Majesty directly, 'The murderer is a black kite', or 'The murderer was framed', but where did the dark feather come from, and who is the real murderer? Can Lord Shaoqing find out? ”

An Yuan rubbed his swollen temples, and felt that Cui Yin was extremely noisy for a while.

"Why don't you torture to extract a confession?"

"Don't bring the criminal department set here," An Yuan said lightly, "Then according to what you said, how do you report it to Your Majesty." Guessing out of thin air is your case? If that person is indeed a remnant of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is a small achievement, if not? ”

Cui Yin smiled slightly: "It's just a little eunuchβ€”β€”"

On the second day, under the supervision of An Yuan, Cui Yin wrote an excerpt to report the process, mentioning Kunwu's identity and some of the words, focusing on the relationship between Bai Xiying and Kunwu's master and servant.

Cui Yin said: "The emperor is suspicious by nature, and Your Majesty is no exception. ”

Emperor Yan looked at the excerpt and frowned, "Does King Ning of Nanyue really have this eldest son?" ”

The shadow guard behind him bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates found out that King Ning did have two sons, the younger son has been raised in the mansion, and the eldest son was sent to a Taoist temple soon after he was born and entered the Taoist family, and he was only recalled by the Nanyue Emperor these years." ”

"This white water is real, but is the white shadow really white water?"

Emperor Yan summoned An Yuan and Cui Yin into the palace, and the two recounted the case in detail.

Emperor Yan looked at the case file, and his face was not good-looking. If a single murder case is really unremarkable, but the murderer blatantly uses the black kite's unique secret weapon to kill people, then this is ...... It's a bit provocative.

The more Emperor Yan thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

"Go and call the white shadow of Yuefu."

When Bai Xiying received the command, he was packing up some things that had to be taken away in the small courtyard of Yuefu, and the person who came was Zhao Jing, Emperor Yan's personal attendant, and he didn't say why he was summoned, but only said that he was going to Qiming Palace.

Such an inexplicable summons is estimated to be related to Kunwu's matter, and the emperor's suspicions are very heavy, even if Emperor Yan already knows the identity of his son of King Ning.

When he entered the Qiming Hall and saw Anyuan seen in Dali Temple that day, Bai Xiying confirmed this idea.

Bai Xiying bowed deeply, "See Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yan smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I have summoned you today for something I want you to do." ”

Bai Xiying raised his head, and listened to Emperor Yan continue: "In two months, it will be the twentieth birthday of my youngest brother Rui Wang, and I have already heard from Si Le that you are full of joy, so I hope that you can arrange the ritual music at the Rui Crown Ceremony at that time." ”

On the one hand, he asked Seler to let himself go as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he brought this set of rhetoric, which is too hypocritical. Could it be that the people of Dali Temple also came for the crown ceremony of King Rui? Bai Xiying didn't believe that the person on An Yuan's side was a person from the Ministry of Rites.

Bai Xiying sneered in his heart, but he could only smile, "It is really a supreme honor to be so appreciated by Your Majesty, but I have already handed over the resignation form to Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang has also approved it." By God's grace, I am only going to disappoint Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Yan sighed regretfully: "But do you think that Yuefu's salary is not good, or has you been wronged in the palace?" Just speak up, and I'll make the decision for you. If our dynasty loses a talent like Mr. Bai because of this, it will be a great loss for our dynasty's national music. ”

Bai Xiying said: "Your Majesty is very loving, and I am very grateful. Everything in Yuefu is fine, but after being away from home for several years, I am really a little homesick. ”

An Yuan on the side said: "I heard that Mr.'s family is in South Vietnam? ”

"Exactly, I don't know if the two adults are ......"

Emperor Yan said: "The two of them are people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and they recently investigated a case and entered the palace today to report on their work." Speaking of which, the case they investigated was also related to Mr. Mister's Guard...... Committed a murder, sir, do you know? ”

"I learned yesterday that although Kunwu has a cold temperament, he will never commit such a crime, and I hope Your Majesty will see the hidden secrets." After that, it's another deep one.

"Then do you know what murder weapon your guards used to kill people?"

"What?"

Cui Yin replied: "The unique secret weapon of the secret guard black kite cultivated by the Northern Qi royal family-Dark Feather, I don't know if Mr. knows, your little guard actually has such ability." ”

Bai Xiying smiled: "Kunwu is my house slave, and he grew up in South Vietnam with me, how could it be related to the Black Kite of Northern Qi." There must be some misunderstanding in this, Your Majesty ......"

Cui Yin interrupted him and said: "Your Majesty - I don't know if you can let Mr. Bai take off that half of the mask, let the ministers and others see the true face, if Mr. really has nothing to do with Northern Qi, it can also prove Mr. Bai's innocence." ”

This is said as if Bai Xiying is the murderer, and he has done something with good intentions, which is a bit ridiculous.

Emperor Yan also said: "I don't know if Mr. is convenient?" ”

Since His Majesty the Emperor has said so, it seems that it is futile to excuse himself.

Bai Xiying then said: "I'm just afraid of startling the holy driver." ”

The cold fingertips touched the even colder mask, and the white shadow moved a little slowly, because it was uncertain. I am not sure if Emperor Yan still recognizes him after many years, although he has the identity of King Ning's eldest son to cover up, but if Emperor Yan really believes that he is Wan Qizhi, it will be difficult to get out.

The half of the mask was made of sterling silver, as if no matter how hot the body was, it would not be able to cover it. The thin mask seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, his face was empty, and he was a little uncomfortable, and Bai Xiying's hand that took off the mask was hidden behind him, trembling slightly.
