After returning from the Golden Flower Palace, Bai Hanyan slept very unsteadily this night.

In her sleep, her father kept appearing in front of her, but the fog where her father was was very thick, and even his figure could not be seen clearly, only the gray fog, Bai Hanyan felt that her father was beside her, she couldn't catch him, and she couldn't even see ahead, which made people feel a little dazed in their hearts for no reason.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came, his father's face loomed in the mist, he looked at Bai Hanyan with a sad face, as if he was talking about something with his lips, but Bai Hanyan's ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton wool, and he couldn't hear anything, his father was very anxious, and kept shaking his head at her.

Bai Hanyan reached out to grab it in a panic, but as soon as the picture turned to Sui Han's face, she smiled very gloomy, holding the silver knife on her waist in her hand and walking towards her step by step, Bai Hanyan couldn't help but shiver, and her heart suddenly felt cold, as if she was sinking at the bottom of the river, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound, she could only keep indulging!

"Cold smoke, cold smoke, wake up! Wake up! ”

It was Duan Changge, Bai Hanyan seemed to be drawn by his voice, spilling out from the bottom of the river, suddenly opened his eyes, and under the dim light, Duan Changge was half-supported from the bed, and looked at her sideways with a worried face: "What's the matter, have a nightmare?" ”

Bai Hanyan took a few breaths before slowly calming his mind, seeing that all his nightmares had dissipated, Bai Hanyan suddenly reached out to hug him, and hurriedly snuggled into his arms, Listening to the sound of his chest buzzing, she rubbed her head in his arms, enjoying the warmth at this time, it seemed that as long as there was him, she was not afraid of any danger and difficulty, Bai Hanyan pressed against her and said in a muffled voice: "Changge, Changge, fortunately with you......"

"What, you're scared?" Duan Changge looked at her a little jokingly, and as soon as the words fell, he sneered, looking at Bai Hanyan's big black and white eyes, he was confused, he raised his hand to scratch her nose, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everything is with me, I will always be by your side." ”

Bai Hanyan nodded in his arms, thought about it, raised her head slightly, and asked, "Changge, where did you say that person would be hidden by Grandma Jiu?" ”

Duan Changge's eyes sank, raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were clear and crystalline, and gave her a shallow and gentle smile: "Grandma Nine will definitely not let him die, maybe, she will definitely leave clues before she dies." ”

"Clue ......" Bai Hanyan muttered in a low voice, but she had a faint feeling in her heart that Grandma Jiu's death was a little strange.

Duan Changge looked at her absent-minded appearance and asked, "Hanyan, did you think of something?" ”

Bai Hanyan came back to his senses, pursed his lips and said, "Changge, I always feel that Grandma Jiu's death is a bit strange, or rather, a little incomprehensible. ”

Duan Changge stretched out his hand and stroked her long hair hanging down at her side, spread it out on the bed like ink, and tangled with his hair, he pulled the quilt covering the two of them to wrap her tightly, and said with a smile: "You mean, since Grandma Nine chose to commit suicide, why did she flee to such a remote place as Cheng'en Hall in one fell swoop?" ”

Bai Hanyan nodded and said, "Not only that, since she chose to commit suicide, why didn't she tell Sui Han the location of that person's hiding place, he would have died without Shui Liang...... If, Sui Han didn't tell a lie, and Grandma Nine really didn't trust her, and didn't tell her where that person was hiding, don't you think this is suspicious, Changge? ”

Duan Changge frowned, Bai Hanyan half-raised his face in his arms, and continued: "They are mother and daughter, if Grandma Nine doesn't even trust her own daughter, then who else can she trust, unless she ......"

Bai Hanyan was silent, lowered his eyebrows and did not finish his words, but Duan Changge answered the conversation, and continued: "Unless Sui Han is not worthy of her trust." ”

Bai Hanyan breathed a sigh of grief, she slowly closed her eyes, buried her head in his arms and said sullenly: "Changge, maybe you are right, Sui Han, she is really a little incomprehensible, I have a faint good impression of her in my heart, I always feel that my father must have his reason for falling in love with her at the beginning, father...... You can't get people wrong. ”

Duan Changge chuckled and said, "Cold smoke...... People change sometimes. ”

Bai Hanyan half-raised his head, looked at his handsome face, slowly softened his eyebrows, and said, "But my heart for you will never change, no matter the sea and the fields, my heart will be the same." ”

Duan Changge looked at her sincere eyes and only felt a throbbing in his heart, which instantly spread throughout his body, and the faint plum fragrance on Bai Hanyan's body made him trance-like and intoxicated...... He lowered his head, his brown pupils slowly swayed slightly, he pressed his lips to hers, rubbed them carefully, and whispered softly: "Hanyan, so do I." ”

_

On the second day, the Qiluo clan became busy all of a sudden, Chang Fengxuan was a powerful character, and he actually mobilized all his troops to go out, and he really searched for the Qiluo clan inch by inch in the land, which was bound to turn the Qiluo clan upside down.

Duan Changge stood under the corridor at the door and smiled faintly: "Chang Fengxuan can't find it." ”

Cangli hung down beside him, didn't speak, just looked at the golden sky and said in a low voice: "The darkness is too deep, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun." ”

_

On the same day, Wang Xin left without alarming anyone, and when the maid who was waiting for him pushed the door open as usual, he disappeared into the Qiluo clan, and disappeared without a trace along with Jin Wuwei's people, as quietly as he came.

Bai Hanyan's mind kept floating in his mind the words he said when he was leaving, some things have to be settled in the capital, what did he mean by this, isn't it, he is talking about the silver that his father embezzled from taxes? Or the real murderer of his father?

Or, does he know who that person is?

Duan Changge reached out and grabbed Bai Hanyan's wrist, pulling her back from her thoughts, he reached out and nodded her forehead, teasing, "You're thinking nonsense again." ”

Bai Hanyan didn't argue, but she was confused in front of her, and it seemed that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for her, Duan Changge smiled and pulled her wrist and walked forward, Bai Hanyan was forced to follow his footsteps, and said with some doubts: "Changge, where are we going?" ”

Duan Changge didn't look back, but the hand holding her wrist tightened a little, and he said softly, "Let's go find that person." ”

Bai Hanyan was startled, walked a few steps quickly to his side, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Changge, don't you have a clue about where that person is hiding?" ”

"Nope." Duan Changge paused slightly, his gaze crossed the overlapping palaces of the imperial city, and landed in the east, which was the dormitory of the Ninth Grandmother, and he said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, the Ninth Grandmother will leave some clues in the place she is most familiar with before she dies." ”

Grandma Jiu's dormitory has not been visited since the day of the sacrifice, Bai Hanyan stretched out his hand to push open the door of the hall, and a dull death breath came to his face.

The two stepped into the main hall, and faced two mighty bronze Jin Junyi large smokers were floating with white smoke, exuding a faint fragrance of agarwood, Bai Hanyan frowned, and wondered: "Who is smoking the incense?" ”

Duan Changge walked to the smoker, closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "The best agarwood, the cold is really a waste." ”

"The Cold ......"

Bai Hanyan raised her eyebrows and muttered, the door of the hall was wide open, and there was a breeze coming to her face, blowing the hair next to her sideburns, swinging on her cheeks, Bai Hanyan opened her eyes in shock, and she actually smelled the faint fragrance of lotus flowers.

Duan Changge searched everywhere in the dormitory, and he searched very carefully everywhere, hoping to find dark rooms, secret caves, etc., and the most unfortunate thing was to find the clues left by Grandma Jiu.

Bai Hanyan tilted her head and glanced at the back window of the dormitory, she raised her eyebrows and thought about it, she raised her legs and walked towards the back window, Duan Changge raised her eyes and saw her walking straight to the back window, and opened her mouth to call her, but she turned a deaf ear, Duan Changge hurriedly raised her legs and followed.

The two of them came to the back window of the dormitory, and saw that the window had been pushed open at some point, and as soon as the door of the hall was opened, the wind through the hall blew the whole window open, and they could peek into the scenery outside the window.

Duan Changge stretched out his hand to caress the window, and said in a deep voice: "It should be Sui Han, after the death of Grandma Jiu, this place has become a forbidden place, and no one dares to come, but I just saw here, it is still clean and tidy without a trace of dust, thinking about it, she should come to clean it often." ”

"She came here, she shouldn't just miss her mother......" Bai Hanyan stretched out his hand to push open the two windows, and saw from a distance that the corner of the pond behind the dormitory was from a distance, and it was flowing slowly from under the palace wall supported by the wooden stakes deep into the water, although the pond was far away from here, but the fragrance of the lotus flowers on the pond was blown here by the wind, which was particularly fragrant and fascinating.

Bai Hanyan squinted her eyes and looked at the pond through the window, outside the ninth grandmother's dormitory, the pond seemed to be at an end, the willow trees on the bank were deeply rooted in the earth, and the hanging willows caressed the water surface one by one, with some lingering beauty, she smiled like a lost mind: "It turns out that the end of the pond is here." ”

Duan Changge's face changed instantly when he heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Bai Hanyan's shoulder, and asked quickly, "Hanyan, what are you talking about?" ”

Bai Hanyan was a little pained by him, raised his eyes and said in surprise: "I just suddenly remembered the problem of Grandma Jiu before." ”

"Question, question, Grandma Nine's question." Duan Changge suddenly burst into ecstasy, and fell into deep thought in a trance.

Bai Hanyan looked at him puzzled, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "Changge, don't you remember, I saw Grandma Nine on top of the Eighth Lady's Water Pavilion before, at that time, she was still pretending to be the Eighth Lady, I remember she asked me, she said, do you know where the end of the pond is?" ”

Bai Hanyan's words were not finished, but he suddenly realized, his face turned pale, the end of this pond was outside Grandma Jiu's own dormitory, she should know, why did she ask so knowingly?

Bai Hanyan stretched out his hand and grabbed Duan Changge's clothes, raised his head and asked, "Changge, did Grandma Nine at that time want to tell us something, is it about that person's hiding place?" ”
