As the sun sets, it gets dark.

Xiao Yin sat in front of the bookcase and read the book, his brows moved, and he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called for apples: "Don't close the window on the west side." ”

"Got it." Cai Apple smiled secretly, and walked over to check, "Huh? What is this, there is no such thing as during the day. ”

On the windowsill stood a bottle wrapped in agate, unscrewed, containing a sparkling paste.

"Did Lord Tsugo come here," Pickapple muttered, "like an ointment." ”

"What do you say?" Xiao Yin put down the scroll and asked.

Cai Apple was about to answer, when the window axis moved, and Deng Yao came in through the window.

"Is Du Hu here to deliver medicine to Lord Weng? It turned out that Du Hu also saw that the hand of the owner was injured. Cai Ping smiled.

Deng Yao replied lightly, and reached out to take something from his arms.

"Why are you confused, isn't this medicine already on the windowsill?" Picking apples lifted the vial and snickered secretly.

Deng Yao frowned, took the vial, unscrewed it, first put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, as if he was stunned, and then his brows stretched again.

"What's wrong with this?" Deng Yao seems to be a little abnormal and panicked today, not like the usual one-eyed leader of the soldiers, but like a stupid boy who is nervous, Cai Yu couldn't help but snicker.

"What's wrong with you, go and put away the pen and ink on the bookcase." Xiao Yin saw it, and was busy with this girl who grew up with her and was a little arrogant.

"How do you know my hand hurts?" Xiao Yin didn't finish asking, and his face turned red.

Deng Yao didn't speak, poured the ointment in the porcelain bottle on his hand, took Xiao Yin's injured right hand, lowered his head and applied it carefully. Although the ointment was cool, Deng Yao's hands were warm and a little rough. I don't know if it's because of this, Xiao Yin felt that the places where his fingertips touched were a little hot, and she unconsciously shook her hands, but her face was already hot.

Deng Yao didn't raise his head, just paused for a moment, slowly applied the ointment, and just said softly: "Just bear with it." ”

Under the dim light of the bean lamp on the wooden lattice next to him, Xiao Yin secretly looked at Deng Yao's eyebrows and sideburns. Deng Yao seems to have a very different smell on his body, very depressed, is it because he has been in the army for a long time? Xiao Yin secretly thought to himself, why didn't he seem to have found out before.

……

"Pearl orchid musk deer, sure enough, are all good things, in a few days, the wound has grown so well." Cai Apple took the water scooped up from the water tank downstairs into the room, and said with a smile, "Deng Duhu is really good to Lord Weng." ”

"You little girl, what nonsense?" Xiao Yin feigned anger, grabbed the book in his hand and was about to throw it away.

There is a joke, but there is a little melancholy. The hand wound was almost healed, but she was still detained.

The stack of books on the desk, she had read most of them. Trapped here every day, it seems that all I can do is read and write. My mind was calm, but I figured out something. For example: Liu Ke didn't want to kill her. She was locked up here, strictly guarded, and she was not allowed to communicate with the outside world, but she was served with good food and drink every day. There is only one explanation, what he is doing now, but he is afraid that he will mess with him.

Poisonous tea and plum blossom darts are too direct, it is like openly holding the banner of the prince and the Wei family to do this kind of murderous thing, which is indeed suspicious. It's like a bit of a lame planting. Although the means of blame are clumsy, the overall plan is terrible.

Since the twelfth year, the emperor has been jealous of the crown prince, and this Xiao Yin knows it. If someone kills his sister first, and then takes the opportunity to muddy the water in the East Palace, it is indeed a trick to hit the prince. As for who poisoned the poison and whether the real culprit can be caught, I'm afraid no one cares.

There is one point, Xiao Yin didn't understand it, but the reaction of her sister and the prince seemed to have been expected, and they each had preparations. But if so, what is it that makes my sister willing to drink that cup of tea?

Even though her sister left such advice, Xiao Yin felt that she still had to figure out what was behind it before she could give her sister an explanation.

I just don't know when I'm going to get out. Maybe we'll have to wait until the dust settles.

Xiao Yin leaned on the head of the bed, listening to the sound of Xun outside the window, thinking a lot in his heart. Since that day, Deng Yao has never entered through the window, but he can always hear his voice in the evening. It's always that somewhat mournful tune, but Xiao Yin seems to hear a little warmth.

……

The day of walking out of the garden came earlier than she expected.

On this day, it was just morning, and the garden seemed to be a little noisy. Xiao Yin put up the window and looked into the courtyard, and saw a person dressed as a female official, with a group of palace people, passing through the moon cave gate in front of the garden and coming to the courtyard.

The lock downstairs moved, and it didn't take long for the female officer to go up to the second floor. Xiao Yin recognized that it was Ning Shanggong beside his aunt.

"The slave maid was ordered by the concubine to pick up the master. The crown princess is newly mourned, the meaning of the saint and the mother, it is more appropriate for the lord to temporarily live in the palace of the mother. Ning Shanggong saluted and said.

"Where's my sister?"

"Everything has been taken care of, a few big maids, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have also given them gifts and asked them to go to Wanjue Temple for meditation. It's just ......" Ning Shanggong's face was embarrassed and a little swallowed, "Qin Tianjian approved the hexagram, and in order to prevent ghosts from haunting her, the crown princess was cremated. Now there is a temporary pause in the Meditation Garden. ”

Xiao Yindeng's feet were soft, and Cai Apple hurriedly stepped forward, looking worried.

It's this Qin Tianjian again, Xiao Yin recalled all the things about the festival that day, and felt more and more that this Qin Tianjian counted down from Xuan Shouzi, and everyone was suspicious and hateful.

All the way out of the garden, along the corridor on the west side of the prince's mansion, it didn't take long to see the Yimen. It seems that you can hear the neighing of cars and horses.

"Wait." Xiao Yin stopped.

"Lord Weng, whether it is Lord Weng's things in the original inner courtyard, or the carriages and horses entering the palace, everything is taken care of. The owner can rest assured. Ning Shanggong persuaded.

"Wait a while, I think, go see my sister." Xiao Yin said that, he didn't allow Ning Shanggong to answer, turned his head and walked in the direction of the Meditation Garden in the backyard.

The Garden of Meditation is still as quiet and quiet as it was before. Even the jade dustpan and bamboo tube on the edge of the peony garden are still placed there as they are.

But it's already a matter of fact.

Xiao Yin couldn't help but feel a sour nose.

The main room looked empty and cold. Among them, on the sandalwood case, there is a tablet, and a porcelain jar.

Xiao Yin felt that it was dark in front of him. It seems to be sad and tight, but it is not good to cry. Just quietly, the corners of my eyes were wet again.

The bed was bare, and there was still the scorched tail lyre lying alone.

"Dengden" twice, and someone crossed the threshold of the outer room.

Xiao Yin turned around.

The person who came turned out to be Liu Ke.
