It's just that there is more of a pale and sickly look between the eyebrows, and the skin color of the whole person is close to transparent and unreal.

When the prince saw someone else coming, he restrained his temper a little, snorted coldly and left straight away.

"Don't mind, Brother Prince is just a little impatient, but he doesn't have malicious intentions." The second prince didn't know who Fu Yanran was, but he still comforted softly with a smile like a spring breeze.

Fu Yanran was stunned, such two princes were obviously very different from Ye Ziyu before, but their faces were exactly the same.

Could it be that this is the hypocritical mask of the second prince in front of people? That's why he swept away the cunning and evil spirit before and became so peaceful and gentle?

"Do you have to go according to that plan?" Fu Yanran bit her pale lower lip, lowered her voice and said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is too risky, and it is too late for us to stop it." ”

The second prince looked at Fu Yanran suspiciously, furrowed his eyebrows slightly, but still said with a faint smile on his face: "May I ask what you are talking about?" What is the plan? ”

"Is there anyone else here, you don't have to pretend you don't know, do you?" Fu Yanran looked around and whispered, "If you are still not at ease, let's go to a place where there is no one to discuss this matter." ”

The second prince originally just wanted to be a good person and rescue the girl who was entangled by the prince, but he didn't expect to hear her say so many things that made him confused, so he could only frown and say, "Where is your family?" Can you still find it? Do you want me to have the guards take you back? ”

Fu Yanran was stunned, was she regarded by the second prince as a woman who had lost her heart and gone crazy? The puzzled look on the second prince's face didn't look like he was cheating, but he shouldn't have known anything about it!

"Second brother, has something happened?" The third prince happened to be passing by here, and when he saw the second prince and Fu Yanran standing side by side, he walked up with a smile and asked.

"Ah, this young lady, she ......" The second prince was just about to tell the third prince about the matter, but saw Fu Yanran quickly lower her head and said, "I'm sorry I found the wrong person." Then he turned around and ran away.

The second prince stood in place, looked at Fu Yanran's back and said with a smile: "This young lady is really interesting. ”

"What miss? She is the side concubine of King Chen, the only granddaughter of General Fu Yanran. The third prince smiled meaningfully, bumped the second prince's arm, and said, "What is she looking for you to do for no reason?" ”

"I don't know, she said a bunch of things to me for no reason that I didn't understand, and then said that she recognized the wrong person." The second prince smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go to dinner, the afternoon chanting will start soon." ”

"Hmm." Since the second prince had already said so, the third prince could only nod his head in agreement, but his brows furrowed, obviously with great interest in this matter.

At the same time, Xiao Mochen was personally inspecting the situation around the temple with the guards, and a little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said, "Lord Wang, go and eat, it's safe for you to guard here." ”

"No need, just go get me some dry food to pad." Xiao Mochen shook his head and said, "I am the chief secretary of this festival, and I must personally participate in every link. ”

When the little eunuch saw that Xiao Mochen couldn't be persuaded to move, he could only shake his head and quickly ran to get him dry food.

Xiao Mochen continued to patrol the road with the guards for a while, and suddenly stood still and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is no water source within a radius of two miles from the temple?" ”

The guards who followed behind were stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, this place is specially built according to feng shui, and the nearest pond to the temple is also four miles away." ”

"The water source is so far away, what if there is a sudden fire?" Xiao Mochen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked slowly.

"The prince is too worried, there are many trees in this area, it is extremely wet, and this temple has not had a fire since it was built." The guard looked around and said with a smile, "There are only three days until the end of the celebration, and we are so well prepared, naturally there will be no problems. ”

"No, you can go and pick up forty more jars of water in the neighborhood in the afternoon, just in case." Xiao Mochen immediately stood up and calmly ordered.

"Forty cylinders? Except for the water tanks for food and drink, I'm afraid the temple doesn't have so many water tanks! The other guard said with some confusion.

"If you don't have one, go to the nearby market and buy it, and make sure you complete this series of preparations." Xiao Mochen looked at the guards with a straight face and said word by word.

"Yes." Seeing that Xiao Mochen had made up his mind, the guards didn't dare to refute it anymore, so they could only do it immediately.

Xiao Mochen let out a breath softly, but the eyebrows that had been wrinkled still did not stretch out. I don't know why, he is still extremely uneasy at the moment, as if all the efforts he has made are not enough to deal with the unknown situation.

In the afternoon, the chanting and prayer were carried out as usual, and the old emperor stayed in the center of the round platform of the Dahua Treasure Hall according to the usual practice, and the queen gazed at his side and chanted the scriptures, constantly turning the Buddhist beads in his hand.

In the process of turning, somehow, the queen's armor hooked the silk thread of the Buddha beads, and with a crisp cracking sound, the Buddha beads were instantly scattered to the ground.

The queen was so shocked that she immediately lost her dignified and elegant demeanor, and fell to the ground to pick up the beads. You know, when the Buddhist beads are broken during the chanting, this is a sign of great evil.

Moreover, the queen, who is classified as the mother of a country, is already shouldering the heavy responsibility of praying for the blessing of the country, and it should be done in one go without interruption during the chanting process.

The old emperor opened his eyes slightly, looked back and caught a glimpse of this scene, snorted coldly, and spit out two words: "Bad luck." ”

The queen lowered her head even lower, did not dare to say a word to refute, and after picking up all the beads and putting them in the hidden pocket on her chest, she leaned down and pleaded guilty and said, "The concubine deserves death." ”

"You don't have to beg for mercy, I believe you don't have the ability to harm my country and children." The old emperor waved his hand, signaling the empress not to continue, then resumed his previous posture, closed his eyes and fell silent.

However, after the old emperor turned around, his shoulders had been trembling imperceptibly, and drops of sweat had slipped down his head. How could he not be afraid! There has never been a precedent for the breaking of the queen's Buddha beads at the sacrificial ceremony! In this empire that emphasizes the religion of divine law, this is like a catastrophe!

The Empress straightened up in a daze, stared at the old emperor's back worriedly, pursed her lips and stopped.

In the afternoon, the prayers continued until nightfall, until this moment, the ladies had all finished their ceremonial activities for the day, and they could go back to the wing room to rest, and all the male princes had to go to the Dahua Treasure Hall after dinner, gather together, and listen to the ancient teachings until the early morning of the next day.

As the general director of the festival, Xiao Mochen, although he does not need to enter the temple to recite scriptures at night, he has to always patrol the safety matters nearby to ensure the normal holding of the event.

After Su Wan casually had some vegetarian dinner in the guest hall, she was about to return to the wing, but a figure suddenly flashed in front of her, startling her.

Fu Yanran had a gloomy face, and sat next to Su Wan without saying a word, lowering her head slightly as if thinking about her own thoughts, but there was an indescribable terrifying aura around her body.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"The prince may be in trouble tonight." Fu Yanran hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Tonight, someone may go to burn the ancestral hall dedicated to the tablets of the heroes of the past dynasties, and then blame the prince." However, after all, the prince is the chief director of the festival, and he should also be involved. ”

Fu Yanran noticed that something was wrong with the second prince, and originally wanted to tell Xiao Mochen directly, but with her side room identity, there was no way to win the opportunity to talk to him alone on this solemn day today, and in desperation, Fu Yanran could only come to Su Wan.

"Where did you hear about this?" Su Wan was extremely surprised, where did Fu Yanran get such important information?

"You don't care, I just know." Fu Yanran looked a little upset, got up and said, "You should find an opportunity to tell the prince about this as soon as possible." ”

Su Wan originally wanted to stop Fu Yanran and ask more about the specific situation, but after she finished speaking, she actually turned her head and left, without giving Su Wan a chance to speak.

Fu Yanran handed over this hot potato to Su Wan, which really made it difficult for her.

Su Wan sat on the chair and carefully thought about whether what Fu Yanran said was credible, thinking back to Fu Yanran's expression, it didn't look like she was lying, and she wouldn't frame Xiao Mochen. Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still, no matter what, she had to tell Xiao Mochen this information so that he could take precautions, there were too many wolves in the shadows, and she could prevent one by one.

Su Wan couldn't figure out Xiao Mochen's specific location at the moment, so he could only look for it near the temple, and kept praying that he could find Xiao Mochen soon.

The sky was getting darker, and the air was filled with the cold smell peculiar to the temple, and there was no warmth in the slightest due to the sudden increase in the flow of people.

Su Wan didn't dare to relax his hurried steps, caressing his undulating chest, and there was an indescribable dullness in his heart.

Finally, when the last glimmer of light disappeared, Su Wan saw Xiao Mochen's figure, he stood in front of the woods, explaining something to a guard with a cold face, the tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden, Su Wan's heart suddenly ached.

Xiao Mochen seemed to have telepathy, and just turned around, intertwining with Su Wan's gaze in the air.

She seems to have lost some weight, and her slender body is wrapped in gorgeous court clothes, but she has a different kind of charm. Xiao Mochen raised his eyebrows and quietly looked at Su Wan without speaking.

Gritting his teeth, Su Wan didn't care what Xiao Mochen's reaction would be, ran over with a smoke, grabbed Xiao Mochen's hand, and whispered, "You come with me." ”

After saying that, Su Wan pulled up Xiao Mochen and made a gesture to run. Although Xiao Mochen didn't know what was going on, he obediently trotted with her all the way to the quiet woods where no one was disturbed.

"Someone designed to burn down the ancestral hall of the heroes tonight." Su Wan frowned slightly when he spoke, because he couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the information. "I'm not sure what the people in the shadows do, and the authenticity of the source of the information is still up for debate. I'm uneasy, you'd better go to the ancestral hall of the heroes to have a look and strengthen the guards. ”

Su Wan tried to calm his mood, raised his head slightly, and met Xiao Mochen's inky black deep eyes with an inquiring meaning.

The two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

With just one glance, Xiao Mochen also fell into Su Wan's amber eyes. There seems to be the most affectionate and timeless ocean in the world, and there is an inexplicable attraction that can disturb Xiao Mochen's mind in an instant.

After entering the temple for more than a month, Xiao Mochen thought that his state of mind cultivation had reached a higher level, but he didn't expect that when he faced Su Wan, he still couldn't collapse in an instant, and he couldn't stop his heart like water at all.

The woman in front of her looked sad, and her eyes were also crumpled with crumpled twinkling starlight. At this moment, why she knew this news was no longer important, Xiao Mochen had only one voice in her head, and that was to believe her unconditionally.

In the next second, Xiao Mochen didn't say a word, he turned around, walked straight to the close guards and ordered, "Take people, let's go to the ancestral hall of the meritorious heroes to inspect." ”

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief, raised a slight smile, followed behind Xiao Mochen, and hurriedly walked towards the ancestral hall of the heroes.

finally came to the ancestral hall of the heroes, and then the bright moon rose, illuminating the names on the ranks, still calmly depressed. After a rigorous search, there were no idle people near the ancestral hall.

Xiao Mochen has been tense his nerves, and his sharp eyes have probed the surroundings, and there is no sign of any wind and grass.

Suddenly, an orange light rose from the side outside the ancestral hall, and billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky. Xiao Mochen secretly screamed in his heart, raised his front feet, and when he turned around, he saw the person who came to report back, and the person who came was sweating profusely and looked panicked, shouting: "Lord Wang! Oh no! The Great Treasure Hall is gone! ”

Su Wan's heart missed a beat, and he fell into the infinite black abyss, muttering to himself: "I actually ......fell for the trick of attacking the east and the west, and I actually fell for it."

"Don't go yet!" Xiao Mochen roared, and all the silent people heard his pretending to be calm, and they all ran out with him, and King Chen was their backbone at this time.

Su Wan clenched his fists fiercely, then smiled bitterly, and followed Xiao Mochen towards the Dahua Treasure Palace. People in the shadows, how much you want Xiao Mochen to die!

Before approaching the Dahua Treasure Hall, the cries of the panicked crowd that came and went shook the sky. Xiao Mochen kicked away the broken flower pot that was in the way, and came to the fire.

Xiao Mochen didn't speak with a dark face, and at this time, the person in charge of the defense of the Dahua Treasure Hall ran over, and reported to Xiao Mochen breathlessly: "The prince, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, and the twelfth prince have been rescued and have no skills to return to the sky!" How good is that! ”

"What about the others?" Xiao Mochen's eyes stared sharply at the door of the surging flames, and asked questions word by word.

"Others...... Now the whereabouts of the crown prince and the second prince are still unknown, and the rest of the princes are injured to varying degrees, but fortunately, there is no major problem. The guard didn't dare to hide it, so he had to bite the bullet and say.
