Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

However, after a few days, even Xiao He, who doesn't go out much, can occasionally hear someone talking about the haunting of the imperial tomb outside when he goes out. If the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were discussing this matter, then the one in the Purple Gold City should naturally have heard it.

However, Mu Churan could bear it, but it was not his surprisingly good patience. It's just that Mu Churan thinks it's just a rumor, don't believe it, don't care about it, and deal with it coldly for a few days, and it will naturally pass this turmoil.

Rumors stop at the wise, stop at the morning light.

But at the same time, he also secretly sent Wuyi guards to the people to find out the details.

Because of the matter of the imperial tomb, some people in the imperial capital were panicked for a while.

Xiao He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but Da Yin is still Taoist throughout the country, and many people believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, and they believe it. For a time, the yellow paper talismans of Jiudan Palace were sold several times more than usual.

A few days ago, Xiao He was the teacher invited by the house, and he finally arrived.

Mr. Teaching is an old talent who has some talent in the nearby township, Xiao He invited him to come, one to teach Du Nanzhu to read and write, and the other to let those who don't like to read and love to show off blindly on weekdays, such as Han Qiu, also go to increase their knowledge.

Xiao He announced the latest rules, but when Mr. Teach is teaching, those who have no work in their hands have to go to the class.

Under this rule, there are really a few people who take the initiative to listen to the study. However, it does not include Dunan Beads.

Because Du Nanzhu didn't like to listen, every time when Mr. was lecturing, he would find an excuse to run out or find a place to hide. But she was forcibly captured by Xiao He every time, and then brought her back to the study.

It's just that all kinds of methods have been exhausted, but they have failed to coax this girl and let her learn to read and write obediently, which makes Xiao He a little out of tricks.

Mu Yunjing, who was rarely discharged from the hospital, came over at this time, looked at this scene and only smiled lightly, stepped forward to pick up Du Nanzhu, took her into the study with her, and persuaded in a soft voice: "How about my brother accompany you to listen to Mr.'s lecture?" ”

Du Nanzhu regained his well-behaved demeanor in his arms, and reached out to touch Mu Yunjing's cheek, nodded and said yes.

Xiao He next to him sighed and shook his head, but he could only obey Mu Yunjing.

"Well, you can be a nurse in the future, and help bring this child with you." Xiao He was lying by the window, his voice was not loud, but he could just be heard by Mu Yunjing. He was not angry either, and simply replied, "Okay." ”

The fun of bickering is that you have an attack that the opponent will either fight back hard or attack harder. Coming and not being rude, it is interesting to come and go, and Mu Yunjing's temper of not fighting back and scolding and not fighting back made Xiao He bored, she simply walked away and did not disturb their class.

Since it was taught to children who had never read and could not read, the lesson was also simple, and after a while, the husband announced that the class was over.

Du Nanzhu dragged Mu Yunjing to go shopping on the street.

Mu Yunjing glanced up at Xiao He, and Xiao He knew what he meant, "I'll go with you." ”

Subsequently, the three of them went out into the street together.

When they arrived on the street, the three of them attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Two young handsome boys with a girl of eight or nine years old are indeed a bit unusual. Xiao He had already accidentally seen some people pointing at them, but she also pretended not to know and walked more and more swaggeringly.

Du Nanzhu wanted to go to the teahouse to listen to the story, so they went to a teahouse along the Dingbei River together, where the scenery is also good, but it is a good place to spend time. If you want to hear about it, you should also choose a good place. It is also close to the ferry, whether it is from the waterway or dry road, from the south to the north, into the city and out of the city, it will pass through this vicinity.

There are also many people who sit idle and bored. After they came in and sat down, Xiao He wanted to reach out and hug Du Nanzhu. The seat here is too high, and she can't sit steadily as a child.

Who knew that this little girl twisted her body, didn't give Xiao He a hug, and turned around and shrank into Mu Yunjing's arms.

Such a close and distant difference really discouraged Xiao He. She had no choice but to laugh self-deprecatingly: "There is no woman's popularity in the bottom." ”

She saved her effort and let Mu Yunjing take Nanzhu and listen to the storyteller by herself. The story told by this storyteller is also somewhat interesting, telling about the royal secrets of the Dajin Kingdom. Starting from the emperor's affection, it is said that the emperor's eldest son has made outstanding achievements, once he entered the East Palace, he was canonized as the crown prince, and after more than ten years, the war began. The prince personally marched and returned with an arrow wounded.

Halfway through hearing this, Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, this so-called secret history of the Dajin Kingdom, I understood it, it was a reference to the old things of the current dynasty. People who understand it will naturally want to go there.

The storyteller seemed to be in his forties, with a sickly face, but he was in good spirits, his eyes were bright, his speech was full of energy, and his words were popular and funny.

In his story, the subsequent plot development can be described as a twist and turn, the prince is critically ill, the imperial concubine colludes with the courtiers to kill the queen first, and then the emperor, and then even the prince is killed. The youngest son of the imperial concubine was helped onto the dragon chair, and since then the concubine has been transformed into the queen mother.

The soul of the first prince wept night after night, mourning the country, and mourning the chicken.

At this point, I finally heard some of his intentions.

Xiao He held the tea bowl, drank the light and tasteless tea soup, listened to the story of pointing to Sang and scolding Huai, with a faint smile on his face from beginning to end, and said in his heart, this haunted thing of the imperial tomb is indeed done by someone.

The second scene was quietly staged so soon.

Xiao He looked at Mu Yunjing, obviously this hard-to-make story also reminded him of the past, and his eyes were a little confused and a little stunned. Not to mention him as a party, but all the people will be somewhat curious about the secret history of the palace, probably because this kind of story is far away from their daily life, so there are many speculations, and the more twists and turns of the plot, the more attractive it is.

When the situation changed, some elderly people still remember it vividly, and they were naturally able to think of other places when they were touched by this story.

A story can make the people have a lot of suspicions about the royal family, and even think that Mu Churan's throne was seized by conspiracy. Although no one will say it directly, but rumors are like this, as long as there are bits and pieces of connection related to the truth, they can make people chase after the wind and shadows, weave more clues, and gradually, the so-called rumors can also become more and more formed in word of mouth, because of the power of the communicator, it will grow stronger, and even one day higher than the truth.

It is only when someone says that it is terrifying.

Rumors spread outside the palace, and there are naturally all kinds of rumors in the palace. A haunted imperial mausoleum was originally made out of nothing, and it was even forced to be tricked up by the people behind the scenes to make up many absurd stories, which shook the prestige of the heavenly family.

The most fearful thing for the emperor is that some people say that his throne is not justified. When Mu Churan was made the crown prince, the first emperor's health was not as good as before, and he could not govern himself. Most of the government affairs were handed over to the regent Xiao Li, Duan Yu, the king of An, and the crown prince Tang Qinghua.

And when the first emperor died, there was no warning, and Mu Churan was still a little ignorant when he was promoted to the dragon chair for the crown prince.

At this time, he had to order Jingzhao Mansion to quickly investigate who was using the past to satirize the present in the street teahouse. But the storyteller was gone, and no one saw him again. Although the story is no longer told, there are not a few people who have heard it.

Who planted a seed that sprouted in people's hearts with malice, with suspicion and distortion?

Mu Churan's suspicious person faintly flashed a few names, but he couldn't make him think about it again.

For more than a month, Xiao Shi was also used to the days of doing miscellaneous labor in the Xiao Mansion.

He was originally worried that the people from the Blue Dragon Hall would come to him, but surprisingly there was no movement. According to the behavior of those people in the past, it is long overdue to visit at this time. He didn't believe that Lord Sui was such a stupid person. On the painting boat that day, Xiao He stepped off the boat in front of him, and his back feet were not in the dark cabin, as long as he looked at the guest list on the boat, he could naturally track it down.

He had been waiting.

This night, he finally waited for him.

The sound outside the door of the mansion woke up Xiao Shi, who was sleeping in the lower room. He rolled over, grabbed a coat, wrapped it casually, and rushed out with his weapon in hand. His eyesight and hearing are particularly good at night.

After waiting in the courtyard for a while, no one broke in, so he simply jumped onto the roof, and to his surprise, he saw two teams of people at the gate of the Xiao Mansion to find an argument, both dressed in black, and walking at night.

One side wears cloth armor and moves, so that he is slightly familiar, and the other side wears excellent armor, which is also a tacit understanding, and the actions and moves are rigorous and orderly, and they can be airtight with each other. Soon after the two sides fought, some of the former were defeated, and they quickly withdrew.

The latter even did the work of collecting the corpse, and disappeared into the night with the corpse.

From beginning to end, Xiao Shi stood on the roof ridge and could see it clearly, and he didn't even have a chance to make a move.

It wasn't until the men and horses on both sides had withdrawn that the government soldiers on patrol at night also heard the movement and went to the gate to investigate. At that time, people had already gone and the beasts were scattered, and the building was empty.

And Xiao Shi also quietly retreated into the next person's room, and what happened this night was only known to him. One of the centaurs was the killer of the Qinglong Hall, and it seemed that the Qinglong Hall had expected that he had been poisoned to death, so he only casually took some killers with medium skill to come over to explore the way.

And the one who intercepted them and cleaned up the corpses was not like the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, nor was it like the Imperial Forest Army.

His style of action is clean and neat, without a head or tail, and his clothes and weapons are not like ordinary products, but as if they came out of the palace. Under such speculation, isn't it the legendary Wuyi Guard?

He had heard Han Qiu mention that there had been a man in black who visited the Xiao Mansion at night, and that happened before he came here.

This shows that it is indeed Wuyi Wei who is staring at this place for Mu Churan.

But what kind of heart Mu Churan used, he couldn't guess.

Xiao He's various attitudes towards Mu Churan, in his opinion, seem to be enemies and friends. But the previous assassination mission of Qinglongtang was repeatedly bad in her hands. How many of them are unclear, according to Xiao Shi, Xiao He is not a person who will deliberately deceive trust first, and then seek later.

If she acts, it is out of her heart.

It's just that, he didn't bother to ask. He didn't bother to tell Xiao He about tonight.
