Shengjing Liang Palace, Fengluan Palace.

"You said the assassin ended up with his sword?" Empress Wei listened to Princess Qingyuan's account of what happened to her when she left the palace that day, and still asked her in disbelief. She has told others about this experience 800 times.

"It's true!" Qingyuan swears.

Murong Xian on the side smiled and said, "Heh, I don't believe it. ”

Hearing the questioning voice, Princess Qingyuan turned her head, pursed her lips, and her eyes glared unhappily: "I saw it with my own eyes!" He also suffered internal injuries because he suddenly collected his sword momentum! Chu Tao, say it quickly, he spat blood, isn't it! Isn't it! ”

In a daze, Chu Tao was suddenly mentioned again: "Ah... Yes... That's right! The princess was right! ”

Murong Xian raised his head and smiled: "Chu Tao must have said that she saw it, she is your maidservant." ”

Empress Wei patted her eldest son's arm: "Let Qing Yuan continue, don't intervene!" ”

Prince Murong Xian muttered aggrievedly: "Obviously, the queen mother intervened first." ”

Empress Wei glared at her son.

It is said that since the assassination of Princess Qingyuan and being sent back to the palace, she was naturally reprimanded by the emperor. After the small punishment and the big commandment, Qingyuan healed the scar and forgot the pain, and recalled this thrilling experience and still remembered it. So when I met people, I said the last paragraph. But today, Empress Wei heard it for the first time. Just now, I heard Qing Yuan say that in the carriage, a green dragon sword suddenly stabbed in. I couldn't help but cover my mouth with my hand and gasp.

"Lord Wang, do you want the slave and maid to go in and pass the ceremony?"

A pretty palace maid was at the door, bowing her head, and asked Murong Yu.

Murong Yu obviously stood at the door for a while, witnessing the scene of the three of them enjoying the Empress Wei just now. put away the imperceptible envy just now, nodded to the palace maid, and motioned for her to go in and report.

The palace maid blessed her body, her low face was shy, and she whispered: "Yes, prince." ”

But Qing Yuan's eyes were sharp: "Second brother! Come here! I'm talking about the highlights. ”

There is no need to be polite now, the queen and they all turned around, and Murong Yu naturally walked over with a smile.

As he walked, he said, "Qingyuan, you are not afraid that your father will come suddenly." ”

Qingyuan Nunu mouthed: "My father is so busy, how can I have time to take care of me." He didn't come to today's family dinner. "It seems to be very complaining.

Murong Yu also quickly caught the gloom in Empress Wei's eyes, but he also buried it in the blink of an eye, so that no one could notice it.

Murong Xian asked his imperial brother to sit beside him: "Come and sit down, you can serve the food when you come." I don't have to listen to Qingyuan talk about her experience of leaving the palace, my ears have to hear calluses. ”

Everyone laughed together, and Princess Duqing Yuan twisted Murong Xian's arm angrily. Murong Xian sighed in pain, but he still couldn't stop laughing.

Queen Wei smiled at the pair of brothers and sisters playing, and then waved her hand, and the palace maids served delicacies. Because the emperor was not there, he was relatively free, and the queen took the lead in moving chopsticks, and others began to move.

After the meal, the crowd spoke for a while before they dispersed.

Murong Yu walked out of Fengluan Palace for a while before he put away the smile on his face and returned to his original deep and waveless appearance.

Perhaps, others can't feel the change in his feelings for Fengluan Palace. But Murong Yu knew that the original relationship was no longer there.

He grew up with his brother Murong Xian in Fengluan Palace since he was a child. He knew that Empress Wei was not her biological mother, but Wei did not treat him badly. The food and clothing are the same as those of his brother.

But Murong Yu, who has been meticulous since he was a child, can still feel that Wei's attitude towards him is different from that towards Murong Xian. That faint detachment was still noticed by him.

Murong Yu was walking on the road, and a figure came from the front. A little eunuch trotted towards Murong Yu.

When he arrived at Murong Xian, he bowed with his hands and feet. Murong Yu recognized that he was an errand boy in the emperor's palace, and quickly told him to be flat.

"Lord, please stay. The emperor invites you to go to the Lama Temple. ”

Murong Yu nodded: "Please ask your father-in-law to lead the way." ”

When he came to the gate of Lama Palace, Murong Yu saw the great eunuch Wang Sishou at the door, so he asked softly before entering: "Do you know what called this king over?" ”

Wang Si whispered: "When it was for the recent series of assassination cases, the prince dealt with it carefully. ”

Murong Yu nodded: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, and please bother to report." ”

didn't stay long, and Murong Yu was led in.

The dark floor tiles in the Lama Palace are bright, and the golden incense burner on the side is burning with dragon incense. It was only afternoon, and the light outside was just right, but the doors and windows in the hall were closed, and the desk at the top was lit.

Murong Yu thought to himself, I am afraid that the emperor has already seen the excerpt from the early morning. At that time, it was still dark, but I had been focusing on political affairs, and I didn't care about the surrounding environment.

He approached gently: "Your Majesty, your son is here." ”

The emperor raised his head from behind the stacked mountain-like recitals, and replied to him in a tired tone: "Yu'er, you are here." I asked you to come over to ask, have you heard of several recent assassinations in Shengjing? ”

Murong Yu lowered his head and replied, "Erchen knows. ”

"What's the idea?"

Murong Yu knew that the emperor was going to ask about this before he came in, and he was ready to say something in his heart: "Erchen believes that these assassinations should have been committed by one person, or by the same group of people. even included the time when Qing Yuan left the palace. ”

Murong Yuanshan raised his head and looked at Murong Yu: "Oh? How do you know? ”

Murong Yu took out a hidden weapon from his arms, which was picked up by Bai Lu when he rescued Princess Qingyuan before.

Murong Yuanshan asked Murong Yu to bring it to him, and then looked through it carefully by the light of the lamp and candle. The more you look at it, the more you feel a sense of déjà vu.

"It looks a little like a flower on the other side." Murong Yuanshan looked at it for a long time and said.

Murong Yu nodded: "That's right, it's the other side flower." Do you still remember that the royal family of Chu State has a secret organization called the 'Ghost Lotus Sect'? They believe that the flower on the other side can connect the two worlds of life and death, and this flower is holy. Assassination is also a strange method used by them. ”

"Hmph, it's Chu State again. This group of eccentric Nanban is really inexhaustible. Murong Yuanshan also remembered the resistance he encountered when he took Zhongzhou Shengjing at the beginning. This mysterious team of killers has made them suffer a lot, and people are not careful. "Is there a way to crack that?"

Murong Yu frowned, after the assassination of Princess Qingyuan that day, Bai Lu 1510 described the assassin's skills to him. That assassin's martial arts are in the top ten on the rivers and lakes! If you have the intention to assassinate, I am afraid that no one can stop it. And no one could catch him.

"Father, I can only make a game, lead him to the bait, and catch turtles in an urn."
