It had only been ten days since I arrived in Kyoto, and so many things had happened. Especially Rumo's death, which made Ruxu Shen sad. She had been on duty for a few days, but she was still listless.

Early in the morning, a person suddenly came to the household, saying that he was looking for her. Ruxu raised his head from the account book, "Li Weiqing? Who is Li Weiqing? ”

"It's the work of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Li Weiqing and Master Li." The attendant replied respectfully, "He said that your Excellency would know about it when he saw this letter." ”

The attendant said this, and handed over another letter.

Ruxu took it and opened it, and there were only three words on it: Zhou Ziheng.

"I'll go meet him." As Xu remembers, Jin Se mentioned to her that there is one of their informants in the palace hospital, whose name is Zhou Ziheng. So she got up and went to Kanebe's parlor.

Early in the morning, Zhu Qian, the head of the household department, and Gu Wenhua, the waiter, went to the court and did not come back, and she was on duty alone today. As soon as Xu Xu entered the living room, he saw Li Weiqing drinking tea slowly.

Seeing that Ruxu was coming, Li Weiqing put down the teacup, got up and saluted, "I've seen Lord Jin." ”

"Lord Li is polite, I don't know that Lord Li is in my gold department, but there is something to investigate?" Ruxu walked over and sat down across from him.

"Rushing to visit, is there a case that requires the cooperation of adults in the investigation, I don't know if it is convenient for adults?" Li Weiqing said with a smile.

"Of course it's convenient." Ru Xu naturally waved the attendants back.

There were only two people left in the living room, Ruxu and Li Weiqing, and at this time, Li Weiqing got up and saluted respectfully to Ruxu, "Li Weiqing salutes the young master!" ”

Ruxu was taken aback by him, and quickly helped him up and said, "I'm not a young master...... Hey? Sister Jinse told me, isn't the person named Zhou Ziheng? ”

"Our master is a disciple of the Guiling Sect, and after the master accepted Ziheng, he took me in as a disciple. Therefore, Ziheng and I are senior brothers, and we are both disciples of the Guiling Sect. Li Weiqing said respectfully, "A year ago, we received a letter from the master of Jinse, saying that Senior Sister Yulu had entered Beijing and asked us to assist her. ”

Ruxu nodded, knowing the situation, "You came to me today, did something happen in the palace?" ”

"Yesterday, Senior Sister Yulu sent a note, asking us to pass on the news to you." Li Weiqing took out the note sent by Yulu from his arms and handed it to Ruxu.

Li Weiqing made annotations next to the note, explaining the meaning of the note.

After reading it, my heart was hard to calm down for a long time. She held the note, lowered her eyes and muttered, "Looks like I'm going to ask for a thousand mists for help......"

Li Weiqing gave a note and said goodbye, and after returning to the palace in the afternoon, he sat in the room and meditated for nearly an hour, and finally decided to inform Wang Duzhi of the matter first, and then consider telling Qianwu about it.

That night, Jin Feng escorted and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.

Wang Duzhi was guarding Rumo's spirit, and when he heard that Ruxu was coming, he immediately got up and went to his yard to see her. Ruxu's current identity is still known to as few people as possible, before she came to the palace, many people were already speculating about her identity.

"Why are you here?" Wang Duzhi came to the house.

"There's something I want to tell you, it's about my mother's death." Ru Xu frowned, "I don't know if you still remember, the Concubine An we mentioned earlier?" ”

"I remember." Wang Duzhi, "When my mother was still alive, I was very good with her. I heard that Concubine An is kind and generous, virtuous and benevolent. ”

"Virtuous and merciful?" Ruxu snorted softly, "I just received the news today, and my mother's death is inseparable from her." ”

Wang Duzhi was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, "You mean, it was Concubine An who presided over the cinnabar incident?" Is your message true? ”

"It's true. Including the destruction of Tianxiang Pavilion, I suspect that it was all her handiwork......" Ruxu suddenly thought of something, "I heard that the second aunt also went to the concubine's Chang'an Palace before the accident, you didn't suspect her?" ”

How did he not doubt it, of course he thought about it. But not to mention that there is no evidence that Concubine An has anything to do with his mother's death, even if it is just the illusion of virtuous and virtuous virtue she created, it can already deceive many people. Including Wang Duzhi.

Wang Duzhi frowned, "So, this concubine is a sinister person......"

"Not only insidious and unpredictable, but also clever." Ru Xu felt strange, "But she is in the palace, and the palace discipline is strict, how can she meddle in the affairs outside the palace and kill people easily?" Unless ......"

"Unless there is a secret organization outside the palace to do things for her, obey her dispatch." Wang Duzhi answered.

"That's a good point." "If that's the case, we have to find out who is doing things for her first, so that we can prevent future accidents." ”

"We have no evidence of poisoning, so don't startle the snake first." Wang Duzhi said in a deep voice, "It seems that I still have to ask the prince to come forward in this matter." ”

Qianwu is now in Kyoto and has the power in the palace, but I'm afraid that no one else can compare. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of other forces, and to find evidence, he can only rely on his help.

"I thought the same thing, but ......" stopped as promised.

She was hesitant to ask Chimist for help. Not only can't let Qianwu touch the emperor's ugly things, but also let him contribute to this matter, this matter is quite troublesome.

"What should be said is still to be said, there are some things he should know, after all, he is also one of the parties. If you hide it from him, what will happen to him if he learns the truth in the future? Wang Duzhi mentioned as promised, "It's just that how you want to say it, how much you want to say, it's all up to you." ”

Indeed, if Ru Xu has been hiding from Qianwu. In the end, when he learns the truth, he will not only blame her, but also blame himself. It wasn't something she was happy to see, and maybe it was time to tell him something.

Ruxu said goodbye to Wang Duzhi and returned to the palace.

The next morning, Qianwu went to the court, and as Xu took turns to rest, he sat in the pavilion in the atrium and waited for him to come back.

When Chiki returned, she was asleep on the stone table. It's late autumn, but fortunately she is wearing a cloak, otherwise she will definitely freeze out and get sick.

Qianwu looked at her sleeping face with some surprise in her heart. Once upon a time, Tiyun would sometimes sit in the pavilion waiting for him to come back, sometimes swinging, sometimes boringly feeding the fish by the pond.

No matter where you are, you know in your heart that there is someone waiting for you to go back...... But that feeling has been gone for a long, long time.

Just now he walked into the atrium and saw someone in the stone pavilion, and even had the illusion that Tiyun was waiting for him.

It's also really sad and ridiculous. Qianwu lowered his head and smiled dismally.

At this time, Ruxu suddenly woke up, and opened his eyes dimly to see a thousand fogs, "Fox ......"

Qianwu was stunned for a moment, and immediately grabbed her wrist, "What did you just say?" What did you just call me? ”

"Huh? It's nothing......" Ru Xu reacted immediately, pretending not to know anything, "I just think you just looked like a fox." ”

After looking at her gloomily for a while, Qianwu shook her hand, "What are you doing here?" ”

"If Xu is waiting for the prince to come back, I have something to discuss with the prince." Ruxu returned to his normal state, but he looked alienated and indifferent again.

Qianwu glanced at her coldly, went up to the main house and went back to the study. Ruxu followed behind him, and couldn't figure out what kind of anger he was having.

The two came to the study, and Ruxu knelt in front of Qianwu's table, "Today is to tell the prince an important matter, hoping to get the prince's help." ”

Chimiri ignored her and flipped through the folds on the table.

Ruxu suddenly became a little angry, and she was sad for Rumo day and night in the past few days. In addition to going to the household department to be on duty, she also has to think about how to take the next step, and the first thing she thinks about every step is to protect Qianwu first and prevent him from getting involved in this matter. However, now seeing his careless appearance, she felt aggrieved for no reason.

"What is the prince doing awkwardly?" Ruxu suppressed his anger.

"Why didn't you go to see Wang Duzhi today, why didn't Li Weiqing come to you?" Qianwu closed the fold and taunted him, "You've only been in Beijing for a few days, and you've been with them for a while?" ”

"Mixed up? We're here to do business! Ruxu listened to it incredible, "What does the prince think of me?" Do you find it funny to be hot and cold to me? ”

"You've only been in Kyoto for a few days? Is there anything serious to discuss with them? Discuss with them, why didn't I see you discuss with me? "Thousand Mist was furious.

After saying that, he threw away the fold in his hand, and the anger that had accumulated for many days suddenly burst out, "You say I'm hot and cold? It was you who said that you took a fancy to this king, it was you who provoked this king, and now you are suddenly indifferent and alienated from this king, you say that this king is hot and cold? ”

"Why am I hot and cold, don't you know?" Ruxu stood up and walked up to him and glared at him angrily, "Because from beginning to end, the prince has not shown any attitude!" I said that I had a crush on the prince, and the prince advised me not to be delusional. On Fozhang Mountain, it was the prince who said that he didn't want to have anything to do with me, and said that he didn't need me! ”

"So that's your sincerity? I said don't be delusional, you really won't be delusional? Qianwu laughed angrily, "How did I not know that Mr. Xu was such an obedient person?" ”

If you listen to him, you don't understand how good words come out of his mouth and hurt people so much.

"So what does the prince want to do with Ruxu? If Xu is also a man, he also needs dignity, if the prince likes Ruxu, why not say it? Ru Xu's eyes were red, "Why doesn't the prince admit it generously when he is jealous?" If you want to say something like this to hurt me, why are you like this! ”

Qianwu dragged her over and said viciously, "Yes, I'm jealous, it's because I'm jealous that I feel disgusting!" How can I fall in love with a man? I have someone I love deeply. Every time I look at you, I feel guilty. Why would I betray my wife and be tempted by you as a man! ”

"You let go!" Ruxu shook off Qianwu's hand vigorously, and there was a cry in his voice, "It's a shame that I took great pains to plan for you, thinking that I couldn't let you get into danger!" What's wrong with men, you can't like men, what's the reason? ”

In fact, what she wants to say is, what's wrong with me being Jin Ruxu? Can't you just like Jin Ruxu? I want to hang myself on Xiao Tiyun's tree! Xiao Tiyun is dead, dead for three years!

There were tears in her eyes, her handsome face was flushed with anger, and her brows were deeply furrowed. Qianwu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, pulled her over, and hugged her in her arms.
