Try to avoid the girl in the yard, Ni Duruo quietly walked to the door of the room, tiptoed, gently pushed open the door and entered, the window was still closed, and Zhiluo was still squatting in the corner.

With a slight "creak", the window was pushed open, Zhiluo turned her head suddenly, as if she was flustered, and when she saw that it was Ni Duruo, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then was surprised: "Miss, why did you come back from the front......"

"There's a guard out there, so I'll just find a random place to come in." When she climbed into the room, Ni Duruo closed the window as if carelessly.

Zhiluo looked at her with some hesitation: "Then, Wang Mengling......"

"Dead." Ni Duruo said lightly, took off his brocade clothes and put a big word on the bed, "I'm tired, I want to make up for sleep, you go out!" ”

Zhi Luo responded, finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, walked out of the room and gently closed the door.

Looking at the curtain of the brocade silk, Ni Duruo remembered all the temptations in Xiao Jingyun's words, and couldn't help but wonder if he already suspected that she had something to do with Feng Sirong's death?

What kind of person is he? Is it really as rumored that he is ignorant and lustful, and does not do his job?

Recalling the scene when he looked at him in the study just now, from his deep and resolute eyes, it was impossible to see that he was a gentleman who was obsessed with women.

Thinking about it, my eyelids began to fight. I haven't slept all night, and I've been tossing and turning for so long, I'm really tired. In the blink of an eye, she had closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

In the evening, there is a cool breeze.

Ni Duruo turned over, and heard the faint sound of the guqin, like a murmuring water sliding past his ears, and every sound made people's hearts tremble slightly. Although she is not proficient in music, she can hear the sorrow in it.

Since the day I crossed over, the sound of the piano has been heard at this time, and it seems that it is not far from the palace.

'Squeak', Zhiluo pushed open the door, held a brocade box in her hand, raised her eyes to see her wake up, and walked towards her step by step with a chuckle.

Ni Duruo slowly stood up and asked lightly, "Did you hear the sound of the piano?" Any idea who's playing? ”

"Miss, it should be Meng Qingyin, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"How can you be sure of her?"

"Miss Meng is a famous and talented girl in our Lan country, and such a beautiful piano sound must come from her. And the Meng Mansion is the closest to us, and there will be no one else but her. As Zhi Luo spoke, the sound of the piano became weaker and weaker, and disappeared after a while.

"Didn't you say that your lord is the prime minister?" Ni Duruo looked at her suspiciously, and Zhiluo sighed faintly, "My lord is the left minister, and the master Meng is the right minister." ”

Ni Duruo nodded in a conscious way, and turned her eyes to the brocade box in her hand, "What is this?" ”

Zhi Luo took out a jade pendant from the box, and in an instant, Ni Duruo's eyes, who was a tomb robber, glowed with golden light.

No way! This is a high-grade blood jade!

She held the jade pendant to the candlelight and looked at it carefully, she had once seen this jade in the mouth of an ancient corpse, because it was extremely precious, so it would hide it in the mouth after death.

"Where did it come from?"

"I don't know, this jade pendant was brought back by the young lady when she went to Anhua Temple to pray for the lord."

Zhiluo said and recalled, "It was a month before Miss's wedding, and that day I accompanied Miss and Wei Feng to Anhua Temple, and on the way back, we were suddenly attacked, and we were separated from Miss in a panic. Later, Miss didn't say a word, only took this jade pendant as a treasure around her neck, and I don't know what happened to Miss after she was separated, and who sent Miss home. ”

Looks like there's a story! Ni Duruo raised his eyebrows, "Then why didn't I see it when I woke up?" ”

"I found it at the well, I think it fell when the young lady fell into the well." Zhiluo sighed, and her heart was sour.

Ni Duruo was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he had captured some information, he thought for a while, and his sharp eyes suddenly stared at her face, "You said that your young lady has always regarded it as a treasure, since it is so precious, how could she drop it on the side of the well before committing suicide?" ”

"I'm just guessing......" Zhiluo sighed in a low mood, raised her head suddenly, seemed to realize something, and suddenly muttered in surprise: "Yes, since it is self-defeating, how can it be ......"

The eyes of the two collided together, and Ni Duruo narrowed his eyes: "I feel that something is wrong, right?" She grabbed the jade pendant and stepped out of bed, "It's not hard to think about it!" There is only one possibility, your young lady did not commit suicide, but was pushed down, and while struggling desperately, the jade fell to the ground. ”

Zhiluo listened, secretly frightened, "I always thought that the young lady accidentally dropped it, and when I saw that the chain was broken, I took it to repair it...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't even think about it......" She looked at Ni Duruo: "Who could it be?" ”

Ni Duruo turned his head and smiled coldly: "Zhou Jinlan was in Liang County at the time, and there were only Feng Sirong and Wang Mengling left in the mansion, so it seemed very simple!" It must be one of them. However, don't worry, now that these two are dead, it can be regarded as revenge for your young lady. ”

Zhi Luo nodded, got up and saluted slightly, and said in a slightly choked voice: "Miss Zhi Luodai thank you......"

"Okay, okay, don't engage in these forms!" Ni Duruo grabbed her arm, his eyes consciously looked at the blood jade, and there was a trace of greed that belonged to the instinct of the tomb robbers, "If you really want to thank me, how about giving it to me?" ”

"Absolutely. Let's take it as a thank you gift from my young lady! Zhiluo didn't hesitate, wiped her tears and replaced her smile, "Miss is hungry, I'll go and bring dinner." ”

Half an hour later, Ni Duruo put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked out the window, the sky had darkened, the clouds covered the fog, a hazy crescent moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight walked gloomily outside the room, covering the trees in the courtyard with a layer of silver halo.

"I'll go out for a walk."

Zhiluo put a cloak on her when she heard this, but she didn't stop her, and she didn't think about going with her, she figured out her character in the past few days, and knew that no one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do.

It's almost autumn, and the wind is a little cool at night.

She skilfully avoided the patrolling guards, and wandered about in the faint moonlight, her embroidered shoes studded with pearls on the stone slabs of the cloister, and the sound of her skirt rustled softly.

Walking more and more remote, and finally stopped in front of an arch, saw the plaque written 'Zhenyin Pavilion', she curiously touched in, there is a small pavilion in the middle of it, surrounded by tea and plum, far away to smell a burst of fragrance, lingering, refreshing, the whole like a paradise in general.

What a nice place! Why haven't you heard of it before?

Ni Duruo is not a person who likes flowers and plants, just stared at a big tree with dense leaves by the pavilion, and when he saw that no one was there, he climbed up, leaned on the wide branches, and enjoyed the night view of Lancheng.

Unlike modern times, there are no colorful spotlights, and from a distance, there is only a patch of red lanterns, which makes people feel as if they are in a kind of dream, which is very peaceful.

Pick up the blood jade hanging on your neck and look at the moonlight, such a high-quality jade, the identity of the giver is not simple!

Who the hell did she meet? When it looks like a baby, it should be given by a man, right?

"Your Highness, today in the alley, there are people dressed in black and masked, and they don't see it, is our clue broken?"

Two figures appeared at the arch, Ni Duruo suddenly came back to his senses, looked over, and saw that Xiao Jingyun and Xiao Ling had already walked into the courtyard. Isn't it, the old lady can meet you with a heart?!

Xiao Jingyun's face was unstoppable, and his eyes were faintly cold: "In the past few days, I have closely monitored Zhou Jinlan. ”

Xiao Ling was puzzled: "Your Highness suspects that she was also installed by the crown prince?" ”

"The previous investigation of Wang Mengling was mostly to pass on news, but the source of a lot of news should be Zhou Jinlan, I will give her time in the next few days to see if she will show her feet."

"Okay, my subordinates will arrange it."

The two walked under the tree, Ni Duruo gently brushed off the leaves, and saw Xiao Jingyun take out something from his sleeve and hand it to Xiao Ling.

"Find a way to hand it over to Lord Shangshu."

"My subordinates understand."

Listening to this conversation, Ni Duruo's heart was as clear as seeing through the fog, and he had a new understanding of Xiao Jingyun.

She stared at him tightly, and the corners of her lips quietly hooked up a bright smile: I didn't expect your city to be deep enough, with so many eyeliners around you, and you can hide from everyone!

Scold! It turned out to be this ruthless character in sheep's clothing!

She leaned back slowly, and lifted Erlang's legs with a thick smile, since you are now my only supporter, then I will help you find a reason to get rid of Zhou Jinlan! Anyway, the old lady can't get used to her, so she just sells you a personal favor.

The two of them didn't stay long under the tree, Xiao Jingyun only said, 'I'm going to enter the palace tonight', and the two left together.

She looked at the two figures in the distance, thought about Zhou Jinlan again, and secretly had a plan in her heart.

When I returned to the South Courtyard, the night was as deep as ink.

Ni Duruo looked at the empty door of the room, and wondered in his heart, where did all the girls who kept vigil go?

Pushing the door in, Zhiluo shrunk at the foot of the bed and cried, looking very scared, she looked around in surprise, there seemed to be nothing strange!

"What's wrong with you?" She patted Zhiluo on the shoulder.

"Ahh Zhiluo screamed like crazy, and Ni Duruo grabbed her flying hand, "What are you doing!" ”

Only then did Zhi Luo see the person in front of her clearly, and the next second she was shocked and cried and said, "Miss, there is a ghost, I just went out to fill the water, and I saw it...... A few girls outside the door also saw it, as if, it seemed to be Feng Sirong. ”

"Ghosts?" Ni Duruo narrowed his eyes, "Where is it?" ”

Zhiluo was so frightened that she hugged her arm: "In the yard, just now it was floating around, and Linzhu fainted in fright." ”

"I don't know how many graves I have dug up, and I haven't seen a ghost yet!" Ni Duruo smiled lightly, pulled her up and walked out the door, "I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost!" ”

After she said this, coupled with her fearless appearance, the fear in Zhiluo's heart gradually disappeared a lot.

"Miss, it was there just now!" Zhiluo pointed to the dark depths on the right side of the courtyard, and whispered, "Just behind that peach tree, scurrying around, long hair and white clothes are so scary." ”

His grandmother's, how dare she play Sadako in front of her mother?!

With a sneer, Zhiluo shook violently, and couldn't stop screaming, "Ah! Miss, she, where is she! ”

Ni Duruo looked at it fixedly, and behind the peach blossom tree, a white and swaying woman figure was constantly circling around the tree, if this scene was changed to the original owner Ni Duruo, she would definitely be scared crazy, but who was she, the tomb robber Ni Duruo.

Laughing coldly, Ni Duruo walked leisurely towards the terrifying figure, "You are spinning around like this, aren't you afraid of fainting?" ”

"Miss, ...... you" Zhiluo looked at her in fear, not daring to follow her at all, she really didn't have the guts.
