Yan Ye said lightly: "Don't mention the past." Meng Qi made his own initiative to let you follow me, at first I was against it, but then I thought about it, it can't go on like this. Cheng Nian, I have already married, in the future, you should think about your own path, don't waste time on me, we can't do it. ”

Yin Chengnian had tears in his eyes, "Master, I don't want to be your wife and concubine, I just want to follow you like this for the rest of my life, don't you even satisfy me?" ”

"I don't want to hurt you. Cheng Nian, you're not a kid anymore......"

Yin Chengnian interrupted him: "Master, just because I am not a child anymore, I have my own ideas and my own way of life, so you don't care about me anymore, master." ”

Such a stubborn woman, Zhou Ye didn't know what to persuade again, so she could only follow her.

"It's not early, you go back, if I don't summon you tomorrow, you don't have to enter the palace, there is no task for you for the time being, you can ask Meng Qi to take you around the scenery of Jinling City."

Meng Qi loves Yin Chengnian, and he is not sure that there is a bit of love between men and women, anyway, if Meng Qi really likes Yin Chengnian, creating some opportunities for them can be regarded as compensation for Yin Chengnian. It is true that he will not force them to do anything, but only create some opportunities for them, and it is up to them to develop in which direction they want to go.

Yin Chengnian nodded, "Okay." "I don't think it's good to have a holiday at all. Running around since I was a child, I haven't been anywhere, and Jinling is just like that, what is there to visit.

After Yin Chengnian left, he put on his robe, pushed open the door, and saw that the two little eunuchs on duty on the left and right were sleeping soundly in the moonlight, and the autumn wind around them was faintly chirping, and there was no trace of human breath.

It shows that Meng Cong didn't give him eyeliner tonight. Meng Cong is actually a cautious person, as can be seen from tonight's deployment.

I'm afraid it won't be so relaxed in the future, and tonight is a good opportunity to go out for a walk.

Zhou Ye closed the door, did not hide his figure, and walked out of the courtyard calmly.

The inner court of the palace was silent, and occasionally patrolling guards passed by, and Zhou Ye hid under the shadow of the tree, easily dodging, and continued to wander aimlessly.

What palace doesn't have a secret? But since it's a secret, it's not so easy to be discovered. After shaking for a long time, he finally reached his destination, the Imperial Ancestral Hall.

There were several guards guarding the imperial shrine, and when they approached the prince, it was when they were sleepy, two of them dozed off, and a few of them were very energetic. He popped out a few wisps of finger wind, lit the acupoints of those people in the air, and quietly approached the imperial shrine.

A huge copper lock was hung on the door, and the pot folded a flower branch of suitable thickness from the flower bed next to it, poked it into the keyhole, and gently flicked it, and there was a slight click, and the lock opened in response.

Dish Ye gently pushed the door open, flashed in, and closed the door with his hand. There is an everlasting fire lit inside the imperial shrine, and by the light of the fire, you can see the layout inside.

There are several rows of tablets on the table, which are naturally the tablets of the ancestors of the Meng family, and in front of the tablet, there is a lower table, and a mahogany brocade box is placed on the table. If you're not mistaken, what is placed here should be the genealogy of the Meng family.

The brocade box is locked, it is a delicate gold lock, this kind of lock is not as easy to open as the big lock outside, but this is not difficult to discourage the dish, he took out an embroidery needle from the sleeve that has been prepared a long time ago, inserted it into the lock hole, tentatively dialed it, found the machine, and with a little force, it opened the lock piece.

The brocade box was opened, and sure enough, it was the family tree. He read the family tree from beginning to end, especially focusing on the princesses.

He soon discovers that his mother's name is not on it. Women and women, men and crowns can be written into the family tree, but if they die before marriage, they will die young, and in Maomin, this is to be crossed out from the family tree.

Crossing out always leaves a mark, but it is clear that there were nine of the ten princesses of the previous generation, and his mother's name never appeared on the family tree.

He checked all the princesses of the previous generations again, and among the last two generations of princesses he knew, the name of a princess was omitted from the family tree.

Ye Ye's heart sank slightly. If these princesses whose names are not recorded are the guardians of the holy flower Xuandong Flower, then it means that his mother is too.

If it's just the guardian of the Holy Flower, it's nothing, but if there is such an organization, it belongs to the leader of the Guardian of the Holy Flower, and it specializes in doing some things in the dark...... He turned the genealogy to the current generation.

There are a total of thirteen princesses in this generation of Maomin, of which six have passed the age and can be written into the family tree. Surprisingly, the names of these six princesses are all on the family tree.

Could it be that there are no Guardians of the Holy Flower in this generation?

But recently, that organization has been very active, and has carried out several major cases in Yushi, including the Jiangzhou embankment breaking case, which almost wiped out the whole city. Does this mean that that organization has nothing to do with the Guardians of the Holy Flower?

No, there is still a need for corroboration. It is not yet possible to make hasty judgments.

He put the family tree back in the brocade box, and just as he was about to close the lid, there was a slight sound in his ears, like the sound of the wind blowing, but he knew that it was not the sound of the wind, but the sound of people with strong martial arts walking on the roof.

He immediately closed the lid, locked the brocade box at great speed, and swept outward.

A dark shadow swept in front of him, towards the palace complex.

Dish Ye immediately chased after him.

In the moonlight, he and the mysterious man went one after the other, rising and falling on the ridge of the roof at great speed. But in the blink of an eye, it swept past the most concentrated complex of buildings in the palace.

After chasing the tea, the mysterious man fell in the desolate cold palace shadow in the northwest corner of the palace, and the dish fell far behind him.

The autumn wind is blowing, the autumn grass is green, and there is such a desolate place in the richest palace in the world. He looked at the man's back, and he was very familiar, but because he was buried by the half-human-tall grass and his back to him, he couldn't tell who the other party was for a while.

It should be a very familiar person.

A figure flashed through his mind. Could it be ......

"Father-in-law, is that you?" He was not sure, and asked tentatively.

"What did you find?"

As soon as the man's voice came out, he knew that he was indeed his stepfather, Feng Shijiu.

"Father-in-law, my mother is the guardian of the Holy Flower." He didn't deceive Feng Nineteen, because Feng Nineteen's tone was not to know what he had found out at all, but to ask with a little anger.

"Yes, your mother is the Guardian of the Holy Flower." Feng Shijiu's tone seemed to have become a little sad again, "That is, the Dark Emperor." ”

"The Dark Emperor?" Dish Ye chuckled in his heart, just hearing this name, he knew how great his power was.

"At the beginning of the founding of Mao Min, there were two candidates for the emperor, they were two brothers, both had extraordinary abilities, and the power in their hands was evenly matched, for the stability of Mao Min, the two brothers decided that they would no longer fight for power, so they came up with a way to draw lots to decide who would be the founding emperor, and then, let their sister serve as the dark emperor, supervise and assist the emperor. From generation to generation, the Dark Emperor has passed down, and your mother has also been chosen as the heir of the Dark Emperor. ”

When Feng Shijiu said this, he didn't seem to want to say any more, and instead said: "Instead of letting you toss around here and delay time, and let the little prince be alone in Tancheng, let me tell you the truth." You come with me. ”

Feng Nineteen's figure flashed and fled towards the palace wall. He also hurriedly flew and chased after him.

The two of them flew through the streets and alleys, and in about a moment of incense, Feng Shijiu turned into a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is hidden in the middle of the street, extremely inconspicuous, and the scenery in the courtyard is also consistent with the surrounding courtyard, nothing special. Pushing open the door and entering the house, the furnishings in the house are also very simple and clear, no different from the decorations of ordinary people's homes.

Feng Shijiu felt a bulge on the wall in the corner of the house, measured it with his fingers, about five palms away, and patted it gently, and there was a dull sound of creaking on the wall, but in the blink of an eye, the wall suddenly flipped over, revealing a door.

"Come in." Feng Shijiu took the lead in stepping in, and Yu Ye followed behind.

After the two entered the door, there was another creaking sound from the wall behind them, and finally, it was quiet and closed.

The small courtyard that looked ordinary on the outside entered the dark room, but it was a hole in the sky. Under the faint candlelight, you can see that the walls of the dark room are full of beautiful wall carvings, but the content of the wall carvings is not patterned, they are all carvings of winter flowers.

The decorative furniture in the dark room is also full of carvings of Xuandong flowers, ink-colored Xuandong flowers, petals like silk, lining the mystery here like a secluded place.

Cai Ye was attracted by the carvings here, but Feng Shijiu opened another door.

It turns out that there is a room in this dark room.

"Come in." Feng Nineteen's voice came from the room.

Zhou Ye withdrew his gaze from the Xuandong pattern, walked inside, and stepped in, but saw that there was no light inside, and it was pitch black, "Father-in-law, why don't you have a palm lamp?" ”

He asked, took out the flint from his sleeve, polished the flint, and by the light of the fire, he saw a table in the center of the house, and there was a candlestick on the table, he went over to light the candle, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, there was no figure of his stepfather Feng Shijiu in this house, "Father-in-law?" ”

He immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly retreated, but the door behind him slammed shut, and he was about to open the door again, but the door was already integrated with the wall, without even a single gap.

Knowing that he had been deceived, he gathered his internal strength with both hands and pushed the door violently, but the door did not move. He increased the internal force again, and the door remained unmoving.

Feng Shijiu's voice came from outside: "Ye Ye, you don't have to work hard. The whole room is made of stainless steel, and the mechanism on the door allows the door to merge with the wall, even if there is a strong internal force, it cannot be opened. You have to reflect well, and when you figure it out, someone will naturally open the door for you. ”
