Someone stirred the curtain in the inner room. The light of the morning dawn came in, cold and sharp, and all filth was immediately dispelled away.

Xiao Yin felt as if he was a part of this unbearable filth, stabbed by the sharp sword forged by Xiaoguang.

She raised her head slowly, and Liu Ke was standing in front of her, still with her usual face like a crown of jade and a beautiful demeanor.

But Xiao Qiyun on the couch was already cold. And on the floor tiles on Xiao Yin's knees, a large dark red stain has been opened.

Liu Ke's eyes fell on the blood red, he stopped for a long time, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to step forward, but he didn't take a step in the end.

He's finally here.

Xiao Yin raised his head, against the morning light of the Qingming Dynasty, but glanced at Liu Ke, and quickly looked away again, looking at the smooth floor tiles in front of him: Liu Ke was wearing a pair of gold silk cloud head brocade shoes, standing there, not moving.

"Lord Weng, Your Highness has come down." Lu Dingfu followed, stood in the outer room of the main room, and saw that there was no response in the inner room for a long time, so he reminded softly.

The layers of curtains that were put down were blocked, and Lu Dingfu couldn't figure out the situation inside for a while, thinking that it was probably because the young lord was frightened by the matter of life and death, or else he was so sad that he forgot even the basic etiquette of greeting him. Lu Dingfu stretched out his hand and was just about to lift the curtain, when he heard Liu Ke say sharply:

"Get out!"

Lu Dingfu understood, hurriedly withdrew his hand, bowed out, and covered the door of the main room with his hand.

The sword-like light was finally shut out, and only the sporadic struggle poured in through the cracks in the wooden doors and windows, casting some mottled stains.

In front of Xiao Qiyun's sleeping couch. One sat close and the other looked at it from afar, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

Finally, Liu Ke sighed lightly and said, "Xue Yu is here, let him see the wound on his hand, don't leave a scar." ”

When Xiao Yin heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth between his eyebrows, and he finally opened his mouth, but his voice was a little hoarse: "Chang'an Divine Doctor, Xue Yu Gongzi, how late it is!" ”

Xiao Yin let go of the arm that was wrapping his knees, swayed leisurely, and stood up holding the yellow rosewood case next to him, still holding the willow leaf dart in his right hand. The blood on the palm of his hand seemed to become very viscous, blurry and ugly obscuring the original brightness of the silverware.

"There are some things, even if you are sad, you must be strong and endure them. The world is like this, and no one can do anything. Liu Ke frowned slightly, and stepped forward in two steps, wanting to support Xiao Yin.

"It's true, the world is like this," Xiao Yin's eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes stared ahead, "Who doesn't know that Chang'an's Xue Yu Gongzi is the most useful for His Highness, but I'm ridiculous." He was too late, and he came just right. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Liu Ke grabbed Xiao Yin's arm and asked sharply.

"Even if you didn't do it, can you guarantee that the Wei family didn't?" Xiao Yin looked at Liu Ke, who was unusually gentle, and sneered twice, "Poisonous flower tea, cast plum blossom darts, does Your Highness dare to order a thorough investigation?" ”

"I don't have to look it up at all!"

"It's really not, she's your good di, what to do, how can you not know it......"

"Smack!" The moon-white sleeves trimmed with brocade silk were raised in front of Xiao Yin's eyes, bringing a spicy pain on his cheeks.

Liu Ke's hand froze in the air, he was probably a little surprised, and he had always reminded himself that he wanted to be gentle and forbearant in current affairs, but at this time, he stretched out his hand to hit her.

This slap cut off Xiao Yin's words. After a while, she came back to her senses and raised her slightly red and hot face: "It turns out that this is the rule of Chang'an that His Royal Highness wants Qinghe to study every day." It's a pity that the conspiracy and sophistry have tarnished the word learning. ”

Liu Ke regained his composure. He cut his hands back, looked at Xiao Yin, and said softly: "You should have studied harder, but unfortunately, it seems that today is still too bad." The West Pavilion of Zhiyuan is the most secluded, and it is a good place to read, so let the maid accompany you there to calm down. ”

Xiao didn't have time to react, Liu Ke stepped out of the room quickly, opened the layers of hanging tents, and pushed open the wooden door.

Lu Dingfu and a group of servants all stood respectfully in front of the corridor and waited.

"Lord Qinghe Weng was overly sad and accidentally disturbed by ghosts in the inner courtyard, so that he was in a trance, and his words and deeds were out of proportion, so it is advisable to temporarily live in the West Pavilion of Zhiyuan to recuperate." Liu Ke said goodbye and instructed Lu Dingfu to arrange it.

Lu Dingfu will understand.

The black-armored guards lined up on either side.

Xiao Yin walked towards the moon cave door in the west corridor of the Meditation Garden, and a handsome man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, fluttering, walked through the layers of black armor guards, and walked over, with a soft east wind between his blue clothes.

It was Xue Yu.

"I heard your hand hurts." Xue Yu's hair was not tied up, but he was loosely tied up, and while speaking, his head was slightly raised, which was very lazy.

In his hand, he was carelessly holding a small vial of blue and white agate entwined silk.

Xiao Yin stopped, only glanced at it, and said, "Thank you, no need." Then he turned around and went out through the moon cave gate, and the servants and black-armored guards followed.

This elixir of the ghost doctor in Chang'an, there was actually a time when it was sent to the door and others did not appreciate it, and it was as transparent as Xue Yu was also frustrated for a moment. He turned his head to look, but he couldn't help but smile.

Liu Ke was still standing in front of the main house of the Meditation Garden.

"The medicine of the ghost doctor Xue Yu actually has a day when it can't be delivered. I have suffered a lot from coming to His Highness today. Xue Yu said with a smile, seeing that Liu Ke's brows were tightly locked, he didn't react, so he had to put the agate vial on the small stone table in the atrium, and then flicked his sleeves and retreated.

"Master?" Lu Dingfu called softly.

"Is everything all right?" Liu Ke asked.

"Please rest assured, master, everything is in order. Fortunately, we have been prepared, and with the help of Lord Taifu, we will not let those who hide traitors rise up storms, and the master can rest easy. Lu Dingfu replied.

"Sit back and relax," Liu Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Since the twelve-year age, I haven't had a good night's sleep." With that, he looked at the peony garden in the court with amazement.

This year's peony has not yet been opened.

Liu Kejing walked to the stone table in the atrium and sat down. The scenery of the Meditation Garden is unremarkable, but Liu Ke feels a little strange. It's no stranger, but if you look at it carefully, it seems that he hasn't been here for four years.

A few pots of white begonias next to the flower garden are still blooming.

Liu Ke sat quietly at the small stone table in the atrium of the Meditation Garden, and did not respond for a long time.

The few guards and servants who followed in the courtyard gradually became a little worried and anxious, and they didn't know if the master was too sad or for some other reason. A few people couldn't help it, and they whispered.

Lu Dingfu understood and stopped with a look. He immediately walked to Liu Ke's side and said in a low voice: "Master, the outside news said that Deng Yao came back from Jiaozhou, will you see you here?" ”

Liu Ke took his eyes back from the pots of white begonias, only said the word "pass", then stood up and strode out of the meditation garden.
