Chang Qing shook his head: "What they want is Zhou's Wanning, and it has nothing to do with General Yutai." They said that as long as I could take the Zhou clan this time and send it to their designated place, I could have a new identity and go to Lingnan to be a small lord. Everything in the past, they will erase it. ”

One lord, although in Lingnan, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Xinye glanced at Wanning: "When did they tell you about this condition?" ”

"The day before yesterday, before you came to Xifeng."

Wan Ning and Xinye glanced at each other again, knowing that there were not many people who came to Xifeng, that day Xinjie only told the prince and Xinye, and Xinye followed him all the way, and the prince sent Jin Jiawei.

Wan Ning couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so she could only ask: "Where did they ask you to take me?" ”

"Send it to Xiaoyaotai north of Xifeng, where someone will take over."

"Who took over?"

"I don't know, I just said that I could send it to the Lianhuayuan by the West Gate there."

This answer is a bit surprising, Xiaoyaotai is a royal courtyard, and there are still some women who are waiting for the current emperor and are not of high grade, as well as some old concubines from the time of the first emperor. Because there are hot springs there, the emperor now goes to stay for a few days every winter. What does it mean to take someone and send it there now? And in the Nianhua Courtyard, Wan Ning thought about it for a while, and couldn't remember where the famous concubine was, but if she dared to send someone there, it must have been arranged by the other party.

"What did the other party say?"

Chang Qing thought about it carefully: "The other party said that when the time comes, take Zhou Wanning's woman and send her to Xiaoyaotai, where it is close to the flower courtyard at the west gate." Remember, just take someone, you can't hurt her, you have to be unscathed. ”

On the Yulei Mountain in the northwest of the capital, there is a royal garden, Yulei Garden. Because this is the upwind and water section of the capital, in addition to the royal garden on the top of the mountain, the mountainside and the foot of the mountain are also scattered with many wealthy families' courtyards, but also because of the good aura, but also gathered some Taoist cultivators, in the mountainside and the foot of the mountain respectively have the Seven Star Palace and a grain view, in addition to their own people, the two Taoist temples not only have a lot of Taoist monks to borrow, but also a lot of monks and rangers haunt.

Although Chen Bihua is the queen mother, she has not lost her efforts in the past few decades. Every year, she will also take a few days to put down the chores in the court and the palace, and come to the Yulei Garden on the Yulei Mountain to practice for a few days. Qi Feng, the head of the cabinet, also studied with her, and often appeared here to practice together. Perennial cultivation not only has profound internal strength, but also allows you to lock your face. Although Chen Bihua is over the age of old, she is still like a middle-aged beauty in her thirties and forties. Although Qi Feng is full of gorgeous hair, he is in good spirits, like a middle-aged scribe who is majestic but gentle and elegant, with a well-founded advance and retreat, never complacent because of his high position, and has the immortal aura of a born elegant guest. It's just that on this mountain peak today, only the Queen Mother is independent, looking at the traffic in the capital not far away, although it is far away, I can't hear the sound, but the flow of people is still faintly visible.

For decades, unless there was an emergency, Qi Feng would usually appear here to accompany her in her cultivation, but today he didn't know where to go. And although the prince's golden armor guard went to Xifeng late, he saw an old man who looked like Qi Feng. The news sent back by the Jin Jiawei will naturally flow to the Queen Mother, Listening to the report of the chief of the Tsing Yi guard behind him, Chen Bihua raised his eyes and glanced at the direction of Xifeng, and then glanced at the fiery clouds rolling up in the sky, maybe the storm is coming.

Chen Bihua sighed softly, took a deep breath, a faint smile overflowed at the corner of her mouth, she believed in her own vision, and she still had a confidence in the hearts of the pure and good people in this world, she believed that whether it was a partner who had been with her for decades, Xinjie and the Tang brothers who had been with the court for their debut as a teenager, or the evening condensation of the wind and rain alone outside, as well as the ministers in the court who were upright and planned for the people, they would make the right choice. And those who are selfish, who do not hesitate to introduce foreign races for the sake of their own status and interests, and ignore the common people in the world, she will not let him ascend to the supreme position. If you are not benevolent, once you reach this peak overlooking all living beings, sooner or later it will bring calamity to the people of the world.

After the fight in Shiqiao Town, Chen Cheng brought people to deal with the aftermath, and Xinye accompanied Wan Ning to return to Beijing as soon as possible. I had just walked for less than half an hour, and I saw Baihuatang Ruiying Rui Xue leading a team of people to respond.

"It seems that the third brother is worried about you." After fighting with Changqing, after all, the opponent's internal strength is strong, and the breath of Xinye is still not very smooth.

Lian'er looked at him worriedly: "Are you okay?" ”

Xinye pretended to smile lightly: "Don't worry, I'm in much better condition than Yuling." But this girl is really not easy, she can take dozens of moves in front of Changqing. ”

"Thank you, Young Master Nine, for the compliment." Although Lian'er was lying in the car with her in her arms, this girl still had the heart to answer, which reassured Lian'er a lot. "The Ninth Master's kung fu is the best, and Yu Ling has opened his eyes this time. If the Ninth Master can take a fancy to Yuling's kung fu foundation, if the Ninth Master doesn't mind, he will need more guidance from the Ninth Master in the future. ”

"You girl is crazy, you can't rest well at this time, and you don't say that you can heal your injuries first, but you're actually thinking about learning kung fu." Lian'er felt that she couldn't cry or laugh.

"Young grandma, help me beg the ninth master, he will definitely agree if you speak."

"This girl is not only persistent but also smart, I like it Ninth Master, hahaha, come to me to teach you when you are injured, learn more kung fu and protect your master well."

Although the injury was not light, she still shrewdly saw that the glance that Shinno threw at the young grandmother was full of love.

The tragedy of Yuxian Nunnery

At dusk, most of the neighbors in Locust Lane go home for dinner, and only a few pedestrians rush home. Located at the west end of the alley, Yuxian Nunnery is as quiet as usual. Although there are many bhikshunis living here, these nuns rarely interact with people, there are almost no visitors, and even they speak in a low voice, never making noise, and few people pay attention to them.

But today the neighbors always felt that something was unusual, and later the neighbors remembered that it was because there was no chanting of the nuns for the evening class. The cartridge in front of the gate has been empty today, no one has come to add new herbs, and no little nun is in and out the back door to take out the trash. The smell of blood wafting from the nunnery in the twilight was very different from the usual fireworks and the smell of nuns cooking vegetarian food. At last the good deeds could not resist their curiosity, and went into the open door to investigate, and screamed in extreme panic and fear.

Soon after receiving the report, Jingzhao Mansion notified the Prince's Mansion based on the waist plate found on the corpse at the scene. In addition to the ordained nuns of Quan'an, among the dead were two golden armor scholars from the Prince's Mansion, five strong men, and a woman with a golden ring of hair, who was unrecognizable beyond recognition.

Yiyi, who received the report, was discussing with several government officials and Xinjie. His own golden armor fell in the nunnery, and Yiyi was shocked, because it was to protect Ning'er. When he looked at Xinjie, the latter's face turned pale, and it was clear that they had all guessed what was going on. Lian'er had returned from Xifeng the day before yesterday, Chen Cheng sent Yuling back to Qingmu Garden to recuperate, and Wan Ning left alone in order to avoid the rich family from making trouble with Yu Zhenxiang. In the evening of the same day, Xiao Shun'er sent a letter to Xinjie, he had already seen her at his home on Nanqin Road, and she told him that she would live in Yuxian Nunnery in the next few days. Without waiting for Yiyi to speak further, he had already gotten up and rushed away.

Gao Qi, the head of the household department, and Wang Xiaoquan, the master of Yiyi, glanced at each other, and Gao Qi said curiously: "Tang Sanshao, what's wrong?" didn't even say hello, is there still a prince in this eye? ”

Yiyi didn't answer, didn't even look at Gao Qi, just anxiously ordered the people of Jingzhao Mansion to lead the way immediately, and hurriedly followed.

The corpses of the female corpse and the golden armor in the nunnery are unrecognizable to ordinary people, and the poison is highly corrosive, and the face of the female corpse has been seriously damaged. The only way to do this is to advise the family to identify the body. Bloody scenes Xinjie has seen a lot of rivers and lakes, but it is rare to slaughter the entire nunnery unarmed nuns like this, not to mention that to make him face the body of someone who may be his dearest, Xinjie is numb all over his body and does not feel anything. Only the gold ring on the corpse can be confirmed to be Lian'er's thing, which he bought for her from Jiangnan, and before she was separated at home on Nanqin Road yesterday morning, he dressed her and put it on for her with his own hands. Recently, because she had to go out in casual clothes, she left a lot of other jewelry at home on Nanqin Road, and only this simple hair bundle. He didn't know if she had been wearing anything else in the past few days, but there was no bracelet on the body that her grandmother had given her. He couldn't help but look at his left hand. Although the upper body was badly damaged, the hands were still well preserved.

"Xinjie?"

"Your Highness?"

Xinjie knew that the prince wanted to know, and he knew that Yiyi wanted him to tell him if it was Lian'er.

"The clothes and the gold ring are Lian'er's."

"What about the man?" There is still a glimmer of hope in Yiyi's heart.

"The body is very similar." Xinjie didn't say anything more, bowed his head and said nothing. Yiyi didn't understand what he meant.

"Isn't that so?" Yiyi asked anxiously.

"I think Your Majesty and I hope not..."Yiyi felt a little tear in his eyes, but there was a faint comfort, he couldn't understand, but he didn't want to say it, he couldn't force him, after all, it was a sad thing. I don't confirm ... Please allow your subordinates to retire. With that, he hurried away.

Leaving Yiyi entangled there, what does Xinjie mean by not confirming? Xinjie's hurried departure made him feel even more sad, maybe this brother was unbearable to leave in a hurry to heal his wounds? Could it be that he has already seen it and doesn't want to talk to himself?

Gao Qi and Wang Xiaoquan also accompanied them, and the two exchanged glances with each other, could this dead person have something to do with the three young men of the Tang family, could it be that one? The prince cares so much, this...
