The white shadow seemed to be able to see what was behind him, and with a wave of his big sleeves, the sleeve knife was gone, and when he said goodbye, it was inserted in the chest of a man in black.

Bai Xiying shouted in a low voice: "Go." ”

Kungo followed him up to the palace road, and the black shadow behind him disappeared into the twilight. Kunwu's frost sword only then entered the sheath, and the white shadow gently closed the white jade fan, and the blade of Fang Cai was included in the fan.

The two of them walked slowly in the rain one after the other, and Kun Wu asked, "Childe, those people just now should be the dead soldiers of South Vietnam." ”

Bai Xiying tidied up his rain-soaked robe and said, "Oh? Then there was only that one person. ”

"Childe is saying...... The little prince? ”

Bai Xiying nodded, "Yes, who else but him would be so stupid." ”

......

When the two returned to Yuefu, it was already completely dark, but the rain had no intention of stopping.

Si Le looked at the embarrassed master and servant, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong, what's going on, how did you become like this?" He also instructed people to prepare hot water and ginger soup.

Bai Xiying said: "I met a few thugs on the road and robbed the carriage. ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could these incidents happen, I see this matter...... "Yes, how could this happen, Si Le immediately stopped Bai Xiying, "You tell me the truth, who did you meet?" ”

Bai Xiying said helplessly: "Okay, good, adults should let me change my clothes first, how can I talk like this." ”

Si Le didn't say anything more, and saw Bai Xiying enter the house and leaned out again: "My lord, can you prepare some food, the tea and snacks in the Hou Mansion are really not good." ”

Selmer: "......"

After Bai Xiying bathed and changed clothes, and ate a plate of jade cake and a bowl of ginger soup, he told Si Le about what happened.

Si Le kept frowning and said angrily: "Who dares to do this, it's too presumptuous!" ”

Bai Xiying smiled but didn't answer, and Si Le asked, "Do you know who did it?" ”

"I have a conjecture in my heart, and adults don't have to worry. This is a private matter between me and the man, and it is half a family matter. Please rest assured, you will not be implicated. ”

Si Le sighed and said, "What are you talking about, today's incident should be my fault." ”

Bai Xiying's eyelids drooped slightly: "Why should my lord be like this, it is a great kindness for my lord to be able to take me here for so long." ”

Si Le looked at the half of the silver mask that Bai Xiying had never taken off, and slowly spoke: "You, very much like an old man of mine. ”

Bai Xiying couldn't help but grab the hem of his clothes, "Really?" What a blessing. ”

"That person, who used to be one of my students, was very talented in music theory and dance, and wrote good tunes and essays. And I, on the other hand, didn't protect him, and even hurt him......" Si Le's figure seemed a little old in the candlelight, "If he is still here, he should be compared to you." ”

Bai Xiying's gaze turned cold imperceptibly, "He, isn't he?" ”

Si Le smiled bitterly: "If you leave, you can't come back, the year he left, he should be ...... Is it still twenty-five, or twenty-six? ”

Bai Xiying said regretfully: "That's really a pity, such a talented person didn't even have a chance to meet." ”

Sler's walk towards the outside of the courtyard, and without anyone holding an umbrella, he said in a voice that only he could hear, "Who says it's not......

The rain stopped when it was almost dawn, but Murong Jin had already woken up. A cold and rainy night, after all, it is difficult to sleep.

There were several familiar sheets scattered on the bookcase, on which people's names were neatly written in cinnabar and black ink. What is written in ink is the people left in the Fuyue Palace, and what is written in the red pen is those who went to the criminal room and never came back.

When Murong Jin came back from the Imperial Tomb, there were a total of twenty-one people in the Floating Moon Palace, and now, there are only five people left.

Is human life and death really so cheap? Murong Jin pinched the pen fiercely, those sixteen people, many of them were only a little older than themselves, if they hadn't entered this deep palace, they would all be spoiled by their parents, and now they ...... But they all died because of him, because he didn't have enough power and power to protect those he wanted to protect.

Emperor Yan is right, he needs to be strong enough, strong enough not to be held back by anyone, strong enough to protect the people he wants to protect.

After about a while, a few palace people came to change Murong Jin's clothes and tie his hair.

Murong Jin glanced at a few newcomers to the palace and asked, "You were all from those palaces before?" ”

A palace lady who was tying Murong Jin's hair replied: "Back to Your Highness, the slaves and maids used to be on errands in Gaoyang Palace. ”

Murong Jin asked again: "Are they all in Gaoyang Palace?" ”

"Yes."

After fixing the hair crown with a jasper hairpin, Murong Jin got up and met Gong E's eyes, and Gong E immediately lowered her head to avoid her gaze: "Your Highness, do you want to pass breakfast?" But seeing Murong Jinfu sit down again, "I don't like this hairpin, let's change it to the white jade one." ”

That Gong'e was puzzled, so she had to change to another white hosta tattooed with plum blossoms. Murong Jin frowned, but his tone was very gentle: "Father is really generous. The palace didn't know what he was referring to, and she didn't dare to answer, so she stepped aside after serving.

After eating hastily and hastily, I saw a palace man of about twenty-five or sixteen saluting outside the door: "See Your Highness." ”

Murong Jin lazily held his chin with his palm and asked, "Oh? I haven't seen you before, are you from the Floating Moon Palace? ”

"Back to Your Highness, the slave maid is ordered by His Majesty to come to ......"

Murong Jin yawned impatiently, "Why is it my father again, how about coming?" ”

The palace man continued: "Your Majesty said that Your Highness has been away from the palace for three years, and some rules may not be remembered clearly, so let the slave maid come to warm up with His Highness about the palace rules." ”

Murong Jin said with a smile: "Father is really bothered, the palace rules, this palace has really forgotten almost everything, what is your name?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, my name is like an eyebrow."

Murong Jin said: "Then, who of you is the director now, take Aunt Ruomei to the outer courtyard to arrange it, it is also windy outside, and it is strange and cold." ”

After a long time, no one made any moves, and Na Ruomei said: "Your Highness, the slave maid thinks that it is more convenient to take care of His Highness in the inner hall." ”

Murong Jin waved his hand, signaling that it was not necessary, "This palace doesn't like too many people to serve closely, so it's better to call Dongxian over." ”

Ruomei immediately knelt down and buried his head: "Your Highness—"

"Auntie, do you have any questions?"

Ruo Mei said: "Your Highness, those people are young after all, I'm afraid they won't be taken care of." Moreover, no one from the outer court shall enter the inner sanctuary. ”

Murong Jin got up, took a chess book, and said slowly: "Oh? If it's transferred out, then it's just transferred back. Auntie doesn't have to worry, although they are not very old, they have been here for a long time and know more about the palace rules. Ruomei raised his head, only to hear Murong Jin say in a firmer tone: "The palace rules of the Floating Moon Palace." ”

"Alright, you all go down, and by the way, let those five people move to the inner sanctum."

The maid on the side asked, "Your Highness, which five people are they?" ”

Murong Jin flipped through the page of chess and didn't look up, "Naturally, it's the five people of the Floating Moon Palace." ”

Na Ruomei is an old man in the palace, and he has never been treated like this on weekdays, so he is naturally a little unhappy in his heart, "But Your Highness, Your Majesty personally ordered ......"

Murong Jin closed the book expressionlessly, "You don't have to use my father to pressure me, this palace has not resisted the decree, and has not been disrespectful, and it has not let you not teach you the rules." If my aunt feels wronged, then go back and forth, and there is no shortage of people in my Floating Moon Palace. ”

Ruo Mei didn't expect that these four princes were so temperamental, so as not to make him angry, he had to say: "Your Highness is angry, and the slave and maid will retire." ”

After everyone left, Murong Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on the couch with his clothes, wanting to take a nap, but he couldn't sleep for a long time. I simply put on a cloak and planned to go out for a walk.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard door, about five or six palace people surrounded him, and Ruomei, the leader, asked, "It's cold and windy, where is Your Highness going?" ”

"It's stuffy in the yard, go out for a walk."

Ruomei stopped: "Your Highness's body has not yet recovered, so don't suffer the cold." ”

Murong Jin ignored her and walked straight out. Ruomei led a few people to kneel on the way forward: "Please let the slaves and maids follow Your Highness." ”

Murong Jin bypassed a few people and didn't speak, just quickened his pace.

The men followed closely, lest they miss a step. Murong Jin was annoyed by the following, and was about to turn around and reprimand a few words, but heard a familiar voice say: "Fourth brother is so pompous—"
