It was night, the rain was pouring down, even in the palace, a small eunuch's figure sneakily shuttled in a flickering light and darkness, and the dust under his hands fluttered uneasily, he took two steps and stopped one step, looked around cautiously, there seemed to be something hidden in the cuffs, even he didn't dare to look down at it.

The palace of the prince is still brightly lit, as bright as day, and the singing and dancing inside are leveling, as if they are not affected by the gloomy weather outside.

There was a young man sitting on the main seat, he lowered his head and looked at the singers and dancers making a mess below, there was no emotion in his long narrow eyes, and he held the wine cup tightly under his hand, like a sculpture, exuding the breath of no one to enter.

There was a white-bearded old man sitting at the bottom, who was leaning over and staring intently at the beautiful woman who was performing all kinds of songs and dances in front of him, and the waiter on the side helped him fill the empty wine cup, and he turned back to the woman sitting beside him and smiled slightly.

"Today, His Highness has a very heart."

The woman was dressed in peach pink, her forehead was printed bright red, and she looked at the old man with a half-coquettish smile, "It's not that grandpa's face is big, you see, as soon as you say that you are coming, His Royal Highness will call all the best waiters in this palace to serve, isn't this afraid that grandpa will not marry me to him?" ”

The old man smiled and pinched the face of his granddaughter beside him, and the smug look on his old face became more and more unconcealable, and his eyes swept over the expressionless young man above, before he put away his smile and looked at his granddaughter seriously and said: "You can't say anything too early, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still reluctant now." ”

Saying that, his face was not very good-looking, the woman followed the old man's gaze to look up, and saw Ming Xiu's face like a dream, her complexion distorted for a moment, and she smiled as if she thought of something, turned her eyes to look at the grandfather beside her, and smiled in the old man's ear: "Grandpa, ...... later"

The ancestors and grandsons whispered for a while, and after a while, they saw an inexplicable smile on the old man's face, and he stroked his beard and nodded slowly, "This method is not bad, I don't believe it, the prince, and he will really be treacherous." ”

The young man at the top obviously didn't notice the interaction between the ancestors and grandchildren at the bottom, and his subordinates unconsciously picked up the wine cup and put it to their mouths, and at this time, the eunuch who was damp in the rain walked in slowly with his head down, and between his sideways eyes and the woman's eyes, he nodded palely.

The corners of the woman's mouth suddenly hooked up with a triumphant arc, and she looked at the young man at the top as if she was looking at what she had in her pocket.

The little eunuch stepped forward slowly, and Ming Xiu didn't notice it, until the palace maid on the side was about to refill the cup, and then he heard the voice of the little eunuch who seemed to be calm, "I'll come, serving His Highness, I have always done it." ”

Ming Xiu came back to his senses, and looked sideways at the little eunuch who was pouring wine into the wine cup with a wine jug, and he frowned without a trace. "What are you doing?"

Hearing Ming Xiu's somewhat cold voice, the little eunuch's subordinates shook for no reason, and the red wine almost spilled on the ground, his subordinates stabilized, and he whispered as if embarrassed: "Cough, the little one is in a hurry, and His Royal Highness is on leave, His Royal Highness ignored the small one, and the little one really can't hold back......"

Seeing that the little eunuch's face seemed to be slightly red, Ming Xiu frowned slightly, and ignored it, his subordinates took the wine cup that the little eunuch carefully handed over, and drank it all absentmindedly.

"What about the Dark Guards?"

Seeing that the thin lips were empty one by one, the whole glass of wine was empty, the little eunuch's face showed a hint of relaxation, he smiled and poured Ming Xiu's empty wine cup again, and then replied flatteringly: "Your Highness didn't say that they were told to guard the county lord, and now they have all gone over there." ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu looked at him slightly, and after a while, his face showed a different color, but he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

After a while, as if his eyes were a little dizzy, he leaned on the table slightly, frowned, and said, "Today's wine seems to be extremely powerful." ”

Seeing the rare flush on that handsome face, the little eunuch glanced at the woman below, and saw the woman step forward slowly, looking at Ming Xiu with a light smile: "Your Highness, where are you unwell?" The concubine took you back to rest? ”

Ming Xiu Kankan raised his eyes and glanced at the smile that was close at hand, and shook his head gently, "No need, little Chunzi, take Gu to the dormitory." ”

After a while, he seemed to realize something, pushed away the hand that the woman was still going to reach out after being rejected, and turned his eyes, and gradually regained a little clarity in his narrow eyes, "Little Chunzi, what's going on?" ”

The little eunuch's face turned pale, and he seemed to be frightened and retreated again and again: "Your Highness, the little one, the little one doesn't know, Your Highness, you have eaten something bad......

Seeing the little eunuch's eyes asking for help, Liang Erniang hurriedly blocked his figure between him and the little eunuch, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" But what's wrong with the diet? The concubine sent you to the dormitory, and told Xiao Chunzi to find the imperial doctor......"

"Not necessarily!" With a cold drink, Ming Xiu waved away Liang Erniang's outstretched hand again, and the force was so great that Liang Erniang's figure fell to the ground.

When the old man saw it, he immediately got up with a serious face, and slowly walked to Liang Erniang's side, and saw Liang Erniang nesting in his arms as if he had been wronged, and said with a crying voice: "Grandpa, my granddaughter originally wanted to take care of His Highness, but who knew that His Highness would treat his granddaughter like this, granddaughter...... The granddaughter doesn't want to live anymore! ”

As he spoke, he saw Liang Erniang get up and hit his head towards the pillar of the temple, and was stopped by the old man, so he saw the old man looking up at Ming Xiu, who was holding his forehead, "Your Highness, it's not right to do this, right?" You need the help of the old man, and the old man agreed, what is your intention in treating the old grandson like this? Moreover, she is already a ...... second girl If Your Highness is such a treacherous person, you will not be able to help the old man! ”

Ming Xiu frowned and looked at the few figures that were gradually blurring not far away, and a little inexplicable irritability gradually rose in his heart, the old man was still saying something, but he felt that he couldn't listen to a word, he only felt that his body was inexplicably hot, and his chest was suffocated, he looked at the heavy rain outside the hall, and walked towards the door without hesitation, but was blocked by two strange-looking guards at the door.

"What are you going to do?"

The two guards at the door raised their eyes to look at Ming Xiu in front of them, and then looked at Xiao Chunzi not far away as if asking for help, Xiao Chunzi glanced at them, and when the person whose consciousness was gradually blurred turned his head, his face suddenly turned white again.

Then he saw the two ancestors and grandsons supporting each other, "Your Highness, what is this doing?" But he is completely unwilling to be responsible for his old granddaughter? If so, you can say it bluntly! It's a big deal that the old man took his granddaughter to live in seclusion in the mountains again, but in the future, whether His Royal Highness is alive or dead, don't come to ask for help from the old man again! ”

As he spoke, the old man turned around with his sleeves up, his face resolute, as if he was really leaving, Liang Erniang hurriedly pulled his grandfather's arm, "Grandpa, it's not good, Erniang is already a member of His Royal Highness the Prince, how can it ...... Your Highness, Your Highness, you have a word! ”

At this moment, the surroundings fell silent again, the noise in the house had long stopped, and everyone was waiting for Ming Xiu's answer, but the slender back figure standing at the door was just straight, and an inexplicable cold air mixed with ice picks was scattered around.

At this time, a clear and cold female voice came through the sound of the heavy rain hitting the ground, "Liang Erniang, whose person are you?" ”

A figure appeared from outside the door, her pair of cold eyes swept over everyone present, and finally fixed on Ming Xiu's gloomy face that was slightly reddish, seeing the gleeful light flashing in her narrow eyes, Chu Nian suddenly felt a little distressed.

Seeing the figure at the door, the old man said with a gloomy face: "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Chunzi's face became more and more pale, he buried his head in his chest, and did not dare to speak, while Liang Erniang on the side had a distorted face, "This is the prince's palace, the unequaled county lord broke into the prince's palace in the middle of the night, but he wants to assassinate the prince?" Someone, take her down! ”

The two guards who were originally blocking Chu Nian suddenly made a move, and rushed towards Chu Nian with the spear in his hand, Chu Nian frowned slightly, and suddenly an ink-colored figure blocked in front of her, and then, she saw the figures of the two guards flying out upside down, Ming Xiu stood calmly in place, and the blush on his face was gradually dissipating.

Liang Erniang looked at Ming Xiu in front of her with some stunnedness, "You, you, how are you ......?"

"Who are you talking to?" A cold voice slowly came out from the thin lips, and Ming Xiu's long and narrow eyes looked condescendingly at Liang Erniang and the old man in front of him, "Do you really think you can lie on your lonely head and make waves?" ”

The old man's face was distorted, "What's the matter?" Erniang, didn't you say ...... to him?"

Liang Erniang looked at Xiao Chunzi in disbelief, "What's the matter?" Little Junko's father-in-law? Didn't you say that it was the best medicine for His Highness? ”

Xiao Chunzi's face became more and more pale when his name was mentioned, and at this moment, Ming Xiu's narrow eyes were looking at him with knives, his body trembled, and he couldn't stop retreating, "Your Highness, Your Highness, slave ......"

"What a little pure son, it seems that Lone is still too merciful to you, come on, these people intend to murder Lone's life, take it down, and wait for interrogation!"

As soon as the words fell, they saw four secret guards rushing out of the four corners, and everyone was surprised that there were still three people hidden in this room, and at this moment, the old man and Liang Erniang also reacted, and saw the old man hurriedly said: "Grandson, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother has already arranged people for us, just these three secret guards, don't be afraid!" Someone has come and arrested these three assassins! ”

Chu Nian frowned and looked at the back of Ming Xiu who was standing quietly in front of him, and at this stall, he saw dozens of people wearing the armor of the Imperial Forest Army rushing in from outside the door, and the target was actually Ming Xiu who was standing in the hall.

Seeing the three secret guards who were stopped by dozens of royal forest troops, Ming Xiu was thin lips slightly hooked, sneered, and turned his eyes, Chu Nian looked stunned, and fell into a generous embrace, and in an instant, the lotus fragrance filled the entire nasal cavity.

The body was in the air, Chu Nian frowned and grabbed Ming Xiu's neck, and a big hand was holding her firmly in his arms at the waist. "Nian'er, hurry up, I'll take you out for a shower."

Chu Nian raised her eyes and met those narrow eyes, which were still full of tender affection, so that she couldn't help but feel a throbbing in her heart, and she felt a faint cool breeze coming from her side......
