Gongzi Qingqian and his party left the house early in the morning and continued to walk.

"Eagle's Beak Rock is just ahead!" Qin Ling looked at the mountain rocks in the distance and shouted excitedly.

Childe's shallow sweat was already soaking through his clothes. Liu Tao suggested that everyone take a break. Ai Zishen asked Liu Tao to accompany Gongzi Qingqian to walk slowly, and he and the two girls ran to the eagle's beak rock.

Childe sat under a tree and took a sip of water. Liu Tao took out the fruit and handed it to Gongzi Qingqian. The two of them ate the fruit and studied the old case of the Eagle Mountain Temple.

Liu Tao told the old man's words to Gongzi Qingqian. Childe Qingqian said that the key to the case is the monk.

Liu Tao said that it was a pity that the monk was new, and the current host of the temple did not recognize it, otherwise he would have known the origin of the monk by asking.

"There are always people at the bottom of the mountain who recognize you!" Childe looked at the white clouds floating in the sky.

"This is the business of Dawan Kingdom, do we care?" Liu Tao didn't want his son to work hard anymore. His current body really can't stand the toss.

"We must not let those who die in vain not be left without rest!" Childe's shallow gaze was full of determination.

When Gongzi Qingqian and Liu Tao climbed the eagle's beak rock, it was already noon.

Murong Xue spread a linen cloth more than a zhang long on the ground. Everyone sat down on it and ate and drank.

"Why did you bring a jug of wine? Don't you drink it? Ai Zishen took a sip of the wine jug and asked Murong Xue.

Murong Xue's face turned red. Liu Tao also lowered his head and ate the dry food in his hand.

"It's good for girls to drink less!" When Gongzi Qingqian saw Liu Tao and Murong Xue's reactions, he knew that they must have crossed the Thunder Pond that night.

"It's boring for me to drink too much alone!" Ai Zishen simply lay down.

"When I'm well, I'll drink with you!" Gongzi looked at Ai Zishen's boring appearance and said.

"Don't fool yourself then!" Ai Zishen took a sip.

Childe smiled slightly, and didn't bother with him. He turned his head to look at Murong Xue and said, "Let's stay at the bottom of the mountain tonight!" ”

"After we go down the mountain, we will be able to get to my house in a carriage at the time of Shen!" Murong Xue calculated the footsteps.

"We're out playing, so what are we going to do in a hurry? Brother let you live under the mountain, you have to live! Ai Zishen got up and sat up straight.

"Then stay overnight and go back!" Murong Xue was already cheerful, so she didn't mind the tone of Ai Zishen's speech.

When Gongzi Qingqian and the others went down to Eagle's Beak Mountain, it was already dark.

They rode in a carriage to a nearby inn and stayed. There weren't many people in the inn. The boss saw that Gongzi Qingqian and his party were dressed luxuriously, so he opened the room for them.

Everyone was a little tired, so they had a hasty meal and rested.

Liu Tao woke him up in Shen according to Gongzi's instructions. The two of them had supper on the first floor of the inn.

"Boss, please come here!" Liu Tao called out to the innkeeper.

The innkeeper straightened his shirt and walked over.

"What's the matter with the guest officer?" The boss asked with a shallow hand.

"We passed by a temple on our way to Eagle Mountain. It is said that there has been a fire at the temple before, and many people have died. Childe Qingqian put down his chopsticks and said slowly.

"That's what happened!" The innkeeper put away his smile.

"Do you recognize the monk who went to the temple before the fire?"

"I've seen it! He's been to the restaurant for dinner! The innkeeper recalls the situation.

"Is he alone?" A glimmer of light crossed Childe's shallow eyes.

"Two! With him seems to be a father-in-law in the palace! The innkeeper said truthfully.

"Can you describe what the monk looks like?" A smile appeared on Childe's shallow face.

"I'll draw it for you!" The innkeeper walked over to the table, took out his pen and ink, and began to draw. Liu Tao walked over and looked at him painting.

After a while, Liu Tao put the portrait of the innkeeper who had drawn a monk in front of Gongzi's shallow table.

Although the innkeeper's painting is a little worse, the character image is quite good.

"That father-in-law......" As soon as Gongzi Qingqian finished speaking, the innkeeper had already drawn it and sent it over in person.

"Thank you!" Childe stood up and saluted.

"They died so unjustly!" The innkeeper returned the favor.

"I'll give them justice!" After Gongzi Qingqian finished speaking, he went upstairs with Liu Tao.

"I hope so!" The innkeeper looked at the backs of Gongzi Qingqian and Liu Tao and sighed. His sister was also killed in that fire.

On the second day, everyone returned to Murong Xue's mansion. Qin Ling returned to the Qin Mansion in her own carriage.

After lunch, Gongzi Qingqian took out the portrait of his father-in-law for Murong Xue to identify.

Murong Xue looked at it for a long time and shook her head and said, "I don't recognize it!" ”

"Can you read carefully?" Liu Tao felt a little surprised.

"I know the housekeeper and father-in-law in the palace!" Murong Xue said it quite clearly.

"What about the one in the concubine's palace?" Childe Qingqian also frowned.

"I recognize them all!" Murong Xue nodded firmly.

"That's weird!" Ai Zishen touched his chin and said.

"Has your mother ever given birth to a prince?" Childe Qingqian said suddenly.

"I have a younger brother. However, he died shortly after birth. Murong Xue looked at Gongzi Qingqian in confusion. Could it be that his mother has something to do with this?

"How big is he if he lives?" Childe looked thoughtfully at the teacup in his hand.

"I'm eight or nine years old!" Murong Xue blurted out.

"How many years has it been since the temple caught fire?" Childe Qingqian asked suddenly.

"It's been eight or nine years!" After Murong Xue finished speaking, her eyes widened and she stared at Gongzi Qingqian.

Ai Zishen also looked at Gongzi Qingqian intently. Liu Tao said in surprise: "It won't be ......"

"No, it won't! My mother would not have let so many people be martyred for my brother! Besides, they don't need to be buried! Murong Xue hurriedly argued.

"There's only one possibility! These people are not dead! Childe's shallow words shocked everyone for a long time.

"This is too unbelievable, isn't it?" Ai Zishen was the first to shout.

"First, there were no bones left at the fire. Second, it can't be a funeral. Third, your father's edict of succession. Childe Qingqian put the teacup on a few cases.

"My brother isn't dead? But the imperial brother said that Concubine Duan and my father had a son who was left behind in the people? Murong Xue finally reacted.

"Only this one can be explained! Your brother is lying, or his speculation! Childe remembered the piece of blue crystal he had hidden by the moat.

"If what you say is true! Then this matter must not be known to my second emperor brother! But why should Concubine Duan help my brother? Murong Xue looked puzzled.

"Because he hates your father for killing his son." Childe Qingqian gave the answer.

"So she wants revenge and lets his sons kill each other?" Ai Zishen understood.

"I'll tell my imperial brother and let him stop being a concubine!" Murong Xue was about to leave as she spoke, but was stopped by Liu Tao.

"That's the end of it! Can't let your royal brother know that your brother is still alive! Otherwise, he really won't be able to live. Childe sighed lightly.

"Let go!" Murong Xue's arm was pinched and hurt by Liu Tao.

Liu Tao's face turned red, let go of the arm that was holding Murong Xue, and then said, "I'm sorry!" ”

"This may not be hidden! Since Concubine Duan had already provoked the incident, how could she stop? Ai Zishen's words silenced everyone.
