The night is as cool as water.

It was very cold in the huge palace, and many people had gone to rest, leaving only a few people on duty to stand in place and be drowsy, which seemed even more empty.

Unconsciously recalled the incident in the day, Tao Mingxi didn't know why he cared so much, he lost sleep directly that night, and when he closed his eyes, he saw Xing Tianze's angry face.

She couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in the room, she simply stood up, and it was not easy to wake up, and Zhu'er, who was sleeping soundly in the side hall, put on her clothes and walked out, and walked out boredly, but she came to the garden, but she didn't notice it.

It wasn't until she heard a male voice ringing in her ears that she was awakened as if she was frightened, and raised her head to look, there were two men standing not far in front of her, one was Xing Tianze, and the other was slightly bowing his head, wearing a black dress, probably Xing Tianze's secret guard or something.

The two were talking about something, and the atmosphere was a little tense from a distance.

Tao Mingxi had no intention of eavesdropping on the two people's speeches, but when he overheard the name "Sun Sisi", he couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it, he hid in the dark and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

"Lord Wang, the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate is already a bit eyebrow-raising, but if you want to find out completely, it is estimated that it will take some time." The man in black said with a respectful expression, and the flat face was as indifferent as a robot.

"Well, hurry up and do it." Xing Tianze nodded, this secret guard is the strongest under his command, and it is only appropriate for him to do this.

"My subordinates understand." The man clenched his fists, and after a while, he asked with some hesitation: "I wonder if the prince can tell his subordinates the origin of that object?" It's good for subordinates to start investigating. ”

"It was sent by the third princess." Xing Tianze said lightly, and did not explain to the other party in detail, and after telling everything that should be ordered, he sent the other party away.

Because Tao Mingxi came later, he only heard the second half but didn't hear the first half, and he was confused.

But listen to what the other party has to say...... It seems that Sun Sisi gave Xing Tianze something important, and the other party agreed not to report it to the imperial court.

Scold.

I don't know what kind of treasure it is, so that a prince can not even want his own principles.

With a sneer in her heart, the corners of her mouth pulled up a mocking arc, Tao Mingxi turned around and wanted to leave, to be honest, she still couldn't sleep, she was already insomnia, and now she was disturbed by such a thing, and it was even more difficult to sleep.

"Who's there?" While walking, he inadvertently mentioned the small pebbles under his feet, making a slight sound, which immediately attracted Xing Tianze's attention and asked sharply.

Tao Mingxi, who was discovered, originally planned to hide, but seeing that the other party had already looked towards him, he probably could recognize his back, so he had to turn his head resignedly, "It's a concubine." ”

"How did you end up here?" Xing Tianze narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, with suspicion in his eyes.

He had always been suspicious of Tao Mingxi's identity before, but now he saw that the other party appeared in the back garden in the middle of the night for no reason, and it happened to be during his secret conversation, his suspicion couldn't help but become heavier.

"The concubine can't sleep a little, so she comes out and walks around." Tao Mingxi replied to him lightly, she and I missed the trace of doubt in the other party's eyes, but no matter how he explained, the other party didn't believe it very much, so he just didn't say it, he liked to think about it.

"Hanging out? The princess was so interested, and the third watch crossed the entire palace in the middle of the night to the garden. Xing Tianze smiled mockingly, obviously not believing the other party's rhetoric, but asked, "Did you hear what you said just now?" ”

I thought that the other party would find a reason to cover it up, but it didn't. Tao Mingxi nodded lightly and replied honestly: "I heard that I heard it, but I just came, so I only heard part of it, and I didn't hear it all." ”

Xing Tianze didn't know what to say this time, and twitched the corners of her mouth, she was sincere.

"If there is nothing to do, the concubine will go back first, and the prince will stay here and enjoy the moon slowly, and I will not accompany you." As soon as he mentioned the conversation just now, Tao Mingxi couldn't help but think of Xing Tianze's reversal, and he didn't even have the mind to stay in the same place with the other party in an instant, and wanted to turn around and leave after finishing speaking.

"Where is the moon in this dark sky?" Xing Tianze asked with a cold expression, looking at Tao Mingxi's reaction just now, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Looking at her appearance, she was even wearing crooked clothes, not like she had premeditated to eavesdrop, and Fang Cai's attitude was so careless, not like.

"Then go back to sleep, and be careful of catching a cold." Tao Mingxi said casually, he didn't bother to look at the other party, so as not to affect his mood.

After saying that, he walked forward, and was stopped again after taking two steps.

"Wait." Xing Tianze opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, and he didn't know what kind of demon he was obsessed with, thinking as if he was bewitching, anyway, the other party had already heard half of it, so just tell her the remaining half, so as not to find a reason to explain,

"Does the princess want to understand what happened to Fang Cai?"

"What do you mean?" Tao Mingxi turned her head, she naturally understood Xing Tianze's superficial meaning, but why did the other party suddenly say that? It can't be some trap, right?

"Literally." Xing Tianze said lightly, without too much expression on his face: "It's just that since I think about it, since the princess already knows half of the matter, it doesn't hurt to tell you the half under her." ”

After finishing speaking, he put his eyes on the other party, "Do you want to know?" ”

To be honest, Tao Mingxi was still very curious in her heart, the other party was now throwing out the temptation, and she couldn't sleep even if she went back now, so she nodded after weighing it, "The concubine listens." ”

The two sat down on the stone bench in the garden, and Xing Tianze took off his big coat and draped it on each other, "It's cold now, it's more dewy, and it's easy to catch a cold." ”

Draped on his body, Tao Mingxi instantly felt that his body was wrapped in a warm feeling, and he felt it in addition to warmth......

Exclusive to the breath of Xing Tianze.

"Thank you." She said with a blushing face.

Although this man is quite hateful, sometimes he still has no gentlemanly demeanor!

Xing Tianze didn't respond much, sat aside, and spoke slowly: "This king has an eldest sister who was separated when she was a child, I heard that she disappeared in the palace that year, and my father at that time ordered me to search the palace for three days and three nights, and there was no clue at all. ”
