At dawn, I woke up, looked at the note in my palm again, and sighed.

"Ran'er, give me a month, I will definitely pick you up and go home at that time, there may be something happening in the palace recently, you must protect yourself. By the way, after reading it, remember to burn it, Chen Erliu. ”

Go home? Do you want to go back to Flower Town, I don't know how it is now. By the way, it's going to burn while no one is there. I had just burned the note when I heard the sound of Twilight coming from the door.

"The princess is not good, something is wrong, something is wrong!"

As the note turns to ashes, Twilight pushes the door open. "What's wrong?"

"Yun, Yun Prime Minister is dead!"

What the! Wasn't he still discussing with the emperor the day before yesterday? How can it be?

"Did you hear me wrong?" I still can't believe it.

The surprise on Twilight's face hadn't dissipated yet, "No, no, the slave will never hear it wrong, just last night, Prime Minister Yun suddenly died at home, and the death was so strange that even the imperial doctor didn't find out the reason." ”

Twilight patted her chest in fear, "This is really terrible, do you think he killed himself because his son died?" ”

This one...... It should be unlikely, if you wanted to kill yourself, you should have committed suicide a long time ago, why is it still delayed until now?

"Didn't you leave any letters?"

"Nope."

"Let's go, let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and have a look." Although he is not very familiar with the prime minister, and it can even be said that he has not even met once, but ...... After all, he is the father in the clouds.

...... in the cloud

"Princess, now the emperor won't let anyone out of the palace." Twilight's face was distressed.

"Huh?"

"The emperor said that he would investigate this matter thoroughly, so he ......"

I stopped, and suddenly remembered the note that Xiao Er left me, what happened in the palace?

"Princess, did you notice anything wrong?" Twilight suddenly looked nervously behind me.

I glanced around, and no. Suddenly something came to mind, "Black Wind! "Looks like I haven't seen it since yesterday morning! I hurriedly ordered a few people to find it, the kitchen, the imperial garden, and the bottom of the bed...... I've searched everywhere but still haven't been able to find it.

"Princess, did you think it came home?"

Go home? Prime Minister's Mansion? No, no, no, the palace is heavily guarded, it is impossible for it to run out, and besides, it usually follows me and will not be absent for a long time. It's all my fault, it was gone for so long to remember, and I tapped my head in annoyance.

"Princess, I want to see you!"

"Huh? Let him in. "Come at this time?

"Yes!"

When he came in, he carried a sack, and when he came in, he gently lowered the sack to the ground, and then I saw a black, hairy head.

"Ahh

My heart thumped and I walked over in a daze, chilling with each step I took closer.

I reached out to touch it, and it didn't move. It was cold and cold, and there were some white foam stains left on the corners of its mouth.

"Princess Qiyu, this was just found in a corner of the Imperial Garden." Wuyu bowed his head to report, paused, and said, "I thought it was the princess, so I sent it over......"

I crouched on the ground, burying my eyes in the crooks of my legs, not wanting to look at Hei again.

"Princess...... You...... Don't cry...... "Twilight doesn't seem to know what to say.

"It's fine." I wiped my tears, looked up, and held back my tears, the white foam at the corners of my mouth was obviously poisoned. "No commander, can the imperial doctor test it to see if it has been poisoned?"

"This ......" he grimaced, then walked straight to Xiao Hei's side, wiped the white foam from the corner of his mouth with his hand and sniffed it. The princess doesn't need to find a royal doctor, and the imperial doctor shouldn't be able to detect it. But I guess it's a slow kill. ”

"Slow killing?"

"That's right, this kind of poison is extremely rare, I have only heard people in the rivers and lakes mention it, it is said that the effect of the drug is very slow, and it will be poisoned and killed after one to two days, and most importantly, it is colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult to detect. And who will use the slow kill scatter, I don't know. He looked apologetic.

Who would use this poison against a dog? Imperial...... Could it be Murong Lizhu? I shook my head in disbelief, no, if she had to mess with a dog, why did she feed it so often, and let me know. If I really want to do it, but I probably won't do it again after I know it, unless-

Yes, unless she had already done it at the time, but it was too late, calculate the time, Xiao Hei was exactly what she gave her the night before, and it was fine that night, just in line with the time of the poison.

Wait—I seem to have forgotten one thing, Xiao Hei ate a piece of osmanthus cake that night, but ...... The guards have a grudge against Xiao Hei?

After finishing speaking, he picked up Twilight Huan and walked out, suddenly remembered something, and said to the Commander-in-Chief, "Can the Commander-in-Chief help me bury Xiao Hei?" ”

"Obey the order!"

When they came to the door of the emperor's bedroom, the two guards at the door had already changed, and when they asked them, they both shook their heads. It seems that there is indeed a problem with yesterday's guards, and it must not be easy to mobilize the guards next to the emperor, I don't want to die before I find out the cause of my mother's death, so I'll let it go for the time being. I had to take Twilight back to go back, and then I stayed in Defeng Palace embroidering like no one.

"Princess, what are you showing?" Someone's helpless voice remembered again.

"This is the Phoenix, Twilight." I rolled my eyes at her, this was the third one I had embroidered, didn't it look like it?

"Princess, you said I thought it was a chicken." Twilight pretended to be surprised, but there was a smile in her eyes.

"Dare to laugh at Princess Ben, look for a fight!" After speaking, the two of them chased me in the house, until the news of the emperor's lifting of the ban came outside.

On the third day when the emperor finally lifted the ban, I stood not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion with Twilight Huan and the Commander-in-Chief.

"The emperor sent someone to investigate for three days, and finally found out the cause of death, and only said that he would be buried for the time being." No Commander, No Waves.

At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion closed its door, and it was cold and cold, and there was not even a person to guard.

"As soon as the prime minister died, the people in the prime minister's mansion walked and ran, and now they are almost an empty shell." Even Twilight Raccoon began to feel it, and I couldn't tell what it felt, I just felt panicked.

In the clouds, in the clouds, in the clouds, in the black wind...... It's as if nothing ever existed, and as if nothing had happened. The boy who said he liked me, the boy who took me to see the red sunfish to amuse me, is now gone......

"By the way, what about the mother in the clouds?" Something suddenly occurred to me.

"My mother died when Lord Yun was born." Twilight said.

……

When I returned to the palace, my heart was very chaotic, so I didn't let Twilight Huan follow, and I walked to the remote imperial garden where I came last time.

At this time, the imperial garden seems to be quieter than usual, and the plum blossom buds that used to be in full bloom are now bewitching.

Winter is coming.

"I didn't expect Princess Oude to have the leisure to visit the imperial garden." A woman's voice.

It was Murong Lizhu! I was about to step forward to ask about the cause of Kurofeng's death, but the indifference on her face made me not react for a moment, what happened to her?

"Princess, you don't think I killed Black Wind, do you?" She suddenly laughed, and suddenly her eyes flickered, but she laughed, "I think you killed it." You not only killed Yun Zhong, but also killed Hei Feng and Yun Cheng, what kind of deep hatred do they have with you, or do you have some shady conspiracy with Su Fu? "She pressed in, and I stepped back.

"I didn't...... I don't know...... "I don't know what to say, because I don't know why it's happening."

She stopped, her face murderous, "Don't fall into my hands, or I won't let you die too happily."

If my gaze could kill, I would have been full of holes by now, and I still have the kind of panting.

In this way, more than a month passed, since Prime Minister Yun died, the emperor began to promote the Su family, and Lord Su was promoted to two grades in a row at once, and Su Han was also reused by the emperor. And the rumors in the palace, as Murong Lizhu said, I am a spy from the Su Mansion.

"Why is the lord so worried?" A voice suddenly appeared above me.

I looked up, it was Su Han. But he was not as high-spirited as he imagined, but looked tired. I continued to squat and look at the ants on the ground, and said without raising my head: "Isn't Scholar Su also very sad?" ”

He said "cough" twice, as if I had been right. Then I felt an extra head next to my head, and he also squatted down, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Suddenly, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, the emperor promoted our Su family just to compete with Yun Cheng, and now that Yun Cheng is dead, I don't know who will die next."

I looked at him in a daze, and he looked at me. It's the first time I've looked at a person so closely, with long eyelashes and myself in my eyes. "Why don't you run away together?"

blurted out a sentence, even I didn't expect it, and when I was annoyed, he had already opened his mouth first, "Run?" Where can you flee, and if you flee to the enemy country, you will die faster. He sneered, as if he had heard a great joke.

I didn't speak because he was right. Suddenly remembered a few things that I had been curious about, "While our heads are still on our heads, I have a few curious things I want to ask you." ”

"Just ask." He's refreshed, too.

"What is your family's 'treasure'?"

"That's just for fun, just to catch the thief who stole the white jade quadrum."

Yes? I didn't expect Master Su to be such a cunning person, "Then what kind of treasure is this white jade quadrangular?" ”

"It is the treasure of the previous emperor."

"Do you like Qinggu?" Thinking about it carefully, in addition to being strict with me, Qinggu is actually quite good, and she is also an infatuated woman.

“…… I'm afraid I'm going to let her down in this life. He sighed, it turned out that he had already reached Qinggu's affection.

"Why is Su Yunyue always against me?" I was angry when I thought of her.

He laughed twice, "It's easy, because she's the same for all the women who look better than her." "I don't know if I should laugh or cry, but the anger that just came to my heart is gone.

"Do you know martial arts?"

"No, it won't."

“……”
