In the slanting wind and drizzle, an inconspicuous gray cloth carriage quietly came out of the back door of the Jing'an Palace, lightly equipped and simple, without the luxury and gorgeous decoration of the past.

The rain outside fell on the roof of the car and on the clothes, and the night became more and more silent.

Although the cemetery of the British Mansion was also built quite beautifully, there was no successor, so there were no guards to follow. Most of the people in the nearby villages had already rested at this hour, and even if they didn't have a rest, they wouldn't come out to visit the cemetery halfway up the mountain on a rainy night.

So along the way, the carriage went smoothly.

The mountainside under the night rain has long been in the twilight, and the dead branches and weeds that grow around are swaying by the wind, which is very gloomy.

Xiao Qinglang reached out and touched Xu Chu's fingers, and found that there was a slight coolness, he sighed and looked back and put the cloak that had been prepared on her, and said, "Why are your fingers so cold today?" ”

In the past, Xu Chu's hands and feet were cold all year round because of a small amount of cold corpse poison in his body, especially in winter, when he was often frozen. Later, after Xiao Qinglang learned about it, he tried his best to regulate her, but finally eased her body.

Although it was also late autumn, Xiao Qinglang knew that in order to prevent Xu Chu from being injured by the night wind, the clothes he prepared for her were specially found and newly made jackets with a layer of silk. It looks lightweight, but it's actually very warm.

Xu Chu pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, if there are no bones in the British cemetery, or...... Or maybe the bones are not from the British Duke Xiao Heng, so what? ”

Xiao Qinglang had just fastened the straps on her cloak, and his hands had not been withdrawn, and after listening to her words full of worry and a little uneasy, he simply supported his hands on the table and the wall of the car.

He looked at her quietly, and the wide sleeves swayed slightly with the swaying of the carriage, hitting Xu Chu's shoulders and arms, making her feel numb.

In fact, the two of them didn't really make any intimate movements, but even so, just looking at the appearance of the two of them looking at each other, and the sight of glued together, it is enough to see the affection between the two, lingering and warm. It's not a blasphemous ambiguity, or a prodigal under Meng Lang...

The glass lamp on the table was blocked by Xiao Qinglang, making the soft light that flickered like the moon office suddenly hidden. Even if Xu Chu looked at it carefully, he could only see the faint and hazy halo around him, as well as the handsome and noble outline.

Her eyes were fixed on him, and her hands were inexplicably clenched, but she didn't know what emotions were rolling in her heart.

"Will Xiao Chu be afraid?" He looked at her condescendingly, completely enveloping her figure in his own shadow. The tone of the exit, and the tenderness in his eyes, did not add any pressure to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu's nose lingered with the familiar aroma of green bamboo, which was obviously supposed to be a refreshing taste, but at this time, it made her brain sluggish. She shook her head, letting the corner of her cloak fall from the bench.

"Don't be afraid." She paused, then added, "No matter what the truth is, whether it can be revealed to the world or not, at least we can still maintain the original intention of the prisoner when we encounter a case that is likely to make us unrecoverable......

What's more, he was still by her side, with her in a calm and calm posture, with Tarzan collapsing in front of him and not changing his color. This alone was enough for her to feel at ease.

Xu felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, Xiao Qinglang suddenly smiled and said, "It's good not to be afraid." After the case is over, Xu Chengzuo will naturally have no reason to hide, and when it comes to getting married, you and I will respect my father-in-law for a cup of son-in-law......

He blinked, raised his hand and slowly rubbed Xu Chu's fingers, and did not let go until the fingertips were warm.

The light and shadow are swaying, and the carriage is warm and quiet. And Xu Chu also broke free from the previous panic and uneasiness mood.

She glared at Xiao Qinglang, pursed her lips, and said angrily: "When is it, how can you be full of things about getting married!" If others know, they must not laugh at you, as if the dignified King Jing'an had never seen a woman......"

Xiao Qinglang looked at her with a smile and said meaningfully: "How could Xiao Chu forget what my reputation is?" is not close to women, Xu has a habit of dragon yang, so naturally I haven't seen a woman. But even if I want to see him, I only want to see Xiao Chu alone......"

The glow in his eyes flickered, and his gaze moved to the strap he had just fastened. Just now, when he was tying the belt for Xiao Chu, the back of his hand inadvertently rubbed against her warm neck, which was delicate and soft, and a little thought about it made his heart throb.

Xu Chu didn't mean to be shy or timid, but just looked at Xiao Qinglang, who was playful, and snorted angrily, and wrapped the cloak around his body to completely block his vision. Although she didn't mean to be shy, under the gaze of those fiery eyes, her cheeks were still getting hotter and hotter.

She vaguely remembered that Xiao Qinglang used to look noble and reserved, occasionally laughing with herself, but most of her face did not change, leaving her embarrassed and laughing. It's like when she was in Cangyan County, she fell into contemplation because of his voiceover, and he could ask her seriously if she was fascinated by his skin......

And now, the unfathomable King Jing'an is becoming more and more flowing. From time to time, I want to tease her, even if I just share a carriage, I will tease her a lot, as if she is addicted.

From saying earthy love words, to understanding more and more love, and then learning to hold hands and kiss her along the way. Now, he is even more undisguised as a pseudo-loyal dog, which really makes Xu Chu feel a little overwhelmed.

After two breaths, Xu Chu met Xiao Qinglang's meaningful eyes, raised his eyebrows and said: "The prince still needs to practice more, and the next time he says such a connotative word, he needs not to make his earlobes red." ”

Xiao Qinglang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he looked away a little uncomfortably, coughed dryly, and said with a flickering gaze: "I am talking from my heart." ”

Xu Chu nodded, and replied seriously: "I naturally believe it." ”

But the more she was like this, the more weak Xiao Qinglang's heart became, and the more red her earlobes became. He took a deep breath and returned to normal, before he said calmly: "It seems that Ning Su Baixun's words are not all effective, and after he goes back, he must let him copy the scriptures a few more times to pray for the queen mother." ”

Xu Chu glanced at him and said helplessly: "He is used to messing around in the flower building, and most of the people he has seen and learned are the means of the benefactors of the girls in the flower building, is it possible that you have to learn to please the girls in the flower building?" As she spoke, she deliberately twisted it, and poked out of her cloak with a hand pretending to be pinching a handkerchief, and pretended to be pretentious with a sharp voice, "Lord Wang, do you think this is good?" ”

Xiao Qinglang was stunned for a moment, and his mood suddenly improved. He lowered his eyes and smiled, and finally couldn't help but simply raise his hand to his lips and laugh.

The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more relaxed, and with this gag, Xu Chu was no longer as preoccupied as before.

Even after Xiao Qinglang took out the painted British public portrait, when the two of them were sure that he was really similar to the first emperor, if he didn't say anything, as if he were alone, Xu Chu didn't feel panicked anymore.

"The British prince Xiao Heng has a beard?" Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Qinglang bowed his head, "He and the first emperor have been learning art together since they were children, and their faces are similar, these two points will become taboo when the two of them grow up a little." Therefore, since the first emperor was in power, he began to grow beard. ”

Xu Chu nodded, and he understood in his heart. In the royal family, it is generally taboo to give birth to twin brothers, and she once heard the storyteller of the teahouse tell about it. In the earliest days, whenever the royal family gave birth to twin princes, they had to keep one and go to the other. Later, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the Holy Grandfather only married one queen in his life, so the heirs were scarce. Further down, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past dynasties did not have many heirs, but all the princes and princesses were particularly precious. Therefore, this unwritten rule has naturally been rewritten. The Great Zhou has always advocated the establishment of a long and a clear distinction between the descendants and the descendants, so for the rules of a pack of twins, it was directly changed to if the middle palace gave birth to twin princes, it was necessary to break one of the legs and feet of the baby who was not born one step later, and it was used to distinguish them after sitting down.

And the British prince Xiao Heng is not a royal heir. Coupled with Queen Gongshun's love for him, Xiao Heng naturally survived peacefully.

Xu Chu hesitated for a moment, and took out from his bosom the image he had drawn in the Three Law Divisions in the afternoon, which was restored according to the skull under the dragon and phoenix brocade in the dark room that she had visually inspected. The original appearance of the skull was six or seven points similar to Xiao Heng's face depicted by Xiao Qinglang.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes dimmed for a moment, his fingers rubbed the portrait he had taken from Xu Chu's hand, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Actually, when the first emperor was thirty-six years old, there was an incident. ”

Xu Chu looked at him inquiringly, and saw that his eyes were deep, as if he was caught in a memory, so he just waited quietly and did not urge.

"It's been so long, and I wasn't born or experienced at the time, so I don't know exactly what I know. It can be said that in that case, when I was also looking through the case of Jinling Wei's rebellion, and when I found that the file was missing, I accidentally saw a few words of record. ”

The carriage suddenly jolted, causing Wei Sheng to tremble slightly, and a cold wind blew in from the gap, making Xu Chu unconsciously clench his cloak.

The light in the glass cup poured out softly, shining on Xiao Qinglang's body, causing his figure to form a curved shadow on the carriage. In the interweaving of light and shadow, Xu Chu could only see his side face clearly, cold and sharp. On the other hand, it is hidden in the shadows, obscure......
