The day before yesterday, Shizi Yuwen Mingchuan encountered a special situation in the palace, and first let the cunning assassin point the hole, hiding in the peony bush and unable to move. Then in order to chase a little girl dressed as a palace maid, he forcibly rushed through the acupoint of his arm and walked upside down to catch up.

As a result, he caught up, but he couldn't keep the person, and he didn't even ask the other party's name.

The girl knew his identity, and opened her mouth to call him "Shizi", so that she could arouse him without ambiguity.

Over the years, no one has ever asked Yuwen Mingchuan to "look for more" at the bottom of the dark well for the sake of a small purse, and it is best to turn over each piece of silt and find it carefully.

Looking at the entire Western Wei Dynasty, is there still anyone who doesn't understand that even if our prince sits there and doesn't move, there is still a lot of money coming from his feet.

Don't say that you have a friendship with the prince, that is, if you nod your head with the palace steward, you may receive a big business.

However, when the girl had recovered her purse, and had said a few vain words of thanks, she slyly slipped away.

She was clearly deliberately avoiding him.

Such a person has never been met in Yuwen Mingchuan's life.

It's like this twice in a row, and if you can avoid it, you choose to avoid it.

He wasn't her creditor, he just wanted to invite her to sit at home and ask some things clearly, why did she slip away when she seized the opportunity?

He didn't make any surprises, nor did he make any undesirable demands.

She almost died at the hands of this girl, but she woke up because of her efforts. He didn't hold him responsible, he just wanted to figure out the ins and outs, but he didn't expect this girl to be so slippery and bold.

Doesn't she know that no one in the world can escape the eyes and ears of the God of Wealth, because no one will fight against silver.

That night, the Son of Heaven asked Yuwen Mingchuan why he hadn't seen his people all afternoon. Yuwen Mingchuan only said that he was lost, so he accidentally fell into a dry well.

It was night, Yuwen Mingchuan was left by the Son of Heaven, and he stayed in an elegant place in the harem, Wan Fengting.

True to its name, it is a five-story fragrant wood loft built in a maple forest, with a stream running through the forest.

Sleeping on the top floor of the attic, Yuwen Mingchuan could also hear the clear sound of the water tinkling. I used to sleep with my pillow, but tonight I tossed and turned two or three times, and I couldn't sleep.

A small and delicate bird rested on the window lattice, with tender yellow feathers, dark eyes, red beak and small claws, as if coated with a layer of beeswax, I don't know what kind of species it is.

The little bird chirped, jumped from the window lattice to the head of the bed, stretched out the little bird's head, and shouted happily twice at Yuwen Mingchuan.

Yuwen Mingchuan casually glanced at the head of the bed, and his gaze suddenly froze.

The bird's little red paws were tied with a tiny roll of paper tied into a bow with silk thread.

Yuwen Mingchuan reached out and caught the bird, wrapped this soft little thing in the palm of his hand, and untied the paper scroll. For some reason, he had a certain certainty that this bird had something to do with the girl whose name he didn't know.

Unfold the paper scroll, on which are written eight small words of rice grains -

"Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet."

Juanxiu's handwriting is not written with a brush, but with an embroidery needle to prick out a small hole of the word.

Yuwen Mingchuan put away the note and released the bird.

The bird is flying in the sky, and Yuwen Mingchuan is chasing on the ground, not far and not close to the back, to follow to see who the person who released the bird is.

The bird flew into Nianxiang Palace, and across the wall, Yuwen Mingchuan heard a woman's voice asking: "Sydney, why did you fly back again?" I'll let you out of the palace...... Hey! The voice paused for a moment before adding, "Strange, I'm obviously well tied." ”

"Don't be surprised," Yuwen Mingchuan outside the wall played with the paper scroll and said in a deep voice, "The girl's love letter has fallen into my hands." ”

Dong Qianmo in the "......" wall froze.

"How?" Yuwen Mingchuan looked at the opposite side calmly, as if he could see through the wall, "It's only been two hours, and the girl forgot about me again." ”

"......" Dong Qianmo smiled bitterly, "The prince is really persevering, and you will go into battle in person to arrest the murderer." ”

"Arrest the murderer?"

"Isn't it?" Dong Qianmo said, "Shizi, you have been poisoned by 'Juezhi', so that your legs can't walk. You think I've done you like this, and you're going to hold me accountable. ”

I see! Yuwen Mingchuan said in his heart, this is the reason why she escaped.

However, responsible...... Yuwen Mingchuan played with these two words and asked, "If that's the case, shouldn't the girl be responsible for me?" ”

"I will be responsible for it to the end," Dong Qianmo sighed and said, "Don't worry, Shizi, when I finish handling some affairs and free my hands, I will give an account of this matter." ”

"What if you don't satisfy me with your explanation?" Yuwen Mingchuan leaned against the palace wall and asked.

"If you don't try the water, you don't know where it's deep and where it's shallow; People don't make friends, I don't know who is good and who is bad," Dong Qianmo said calmly, "Just listen to the various skills of the prince in business, you know that you are a smart businessman with a clear mind, regardless of temporary gains and losses, and know how to put a long line to catch big fish." The business is so big, the breadth of the world's mind can be imagined. ”

Yuwen Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is the girl deliberately complimenting me in order to get out, or do you really think so?" ”

Dong Qianmo said: "I'm just talking about things. ”

Yuwen Mingchuan said: "Since you know that I am a businessman, you should understand that the fish who are willing to let me put a long line of fish must have her merits." ”

Dong Qianmo thought for a while and said, "In this way, you stand upside down against the wall, and I will try to treat your legs." ”

"You're going to cure my leg?"

"Yes."

"How to cure it? Are you going to come out? ”

"Nianxiang Palace is locked, I can't get out."

"Then how can you help me?"

"The prince will do as I say first."

Dong Qianmo's tone has a majesty that cannot be denied, and her voice is as clear as a spring, which can be played with.

The two commensurate, and Yuwen Mingchuan secretly wondered who this woman was, why did she dare to order him in such a tone, and it sounded so natural that he couldn't help but listen to her.

The next moment, the snow-colored robe turned upside down, and his person stood upside down against the palace wall.

Separated by a wall, a tactful low back, as low as a nightingale's scale, floated out, and in the silence of the night, it was clearly audible.

It's not the sound of Xiao, it's not the sound of a flute, it's not the whining of Xun, but it's like a melody formed by the interweaving of these three instruments.

"That's nice, what kind of instrument is this?" Yuwen asked.

"This is the "True Bird" blown by the leaves, which is very beneficial to the leg disease of the son, please listen carefully." After Dong Qianmo finished speaking, he was going to continue playing.

"Slow," Yuwen Mingchuan said, "I feel that my legs are okay at this time, but there is a breath in my chest that can't go up or down, does the girl have the right tune?" ”

"What kind of 'not up or down'?" Dong Qianmo asked, "Is it worry, nervousness, or righteous indignation, which leads to this situation?" ”

"Hmm......" Yuwen Mingchuan thought seriously and blurted out, "It's like missing someone, which arouses palpitations." ”

"Does the son miss your father?"

"It's not."

"It must be your deceased mother."

"Not really."

Describe in detail the characteristics of the person you are thinking about and the reasons why you are missing him. I was able to pick out the best tunes. ”

She ...... It's a mystery to me, but for the past two days I have been reminded of her as soon as I pick up the porcelain cup with the plum folding. ”

"Zhemeitu?" Dong Qianmo raised his eyebrows, "What did the prince say about the porcelain cup that I held Juezhi?" You haven't lost it yet? ”

"I usually drink tea with it."

"Then, the person who the son of the world often thinks of, is that me?"

"Yes." Yuwen Mingchuan is honest to the end.

Speaking of which, even he can't be sure of what he thinks in his heart these days, so let the "person" help him determine it.

"Okay, then I understand." Dong Qianmo nodded.

"Does the girl really understand?" Yuwen Mingchuan looked at the starry night sky above his head and asked, "Then in your opinion, what tune should I listen to to relieve this mood?" ”

"......" Dong Qianmo thought for a while and said, "Shizi, please lie down in the grass and listen to me." ”

"Lie down."

As a result, a song of clear, passionate and high-pitched leaves was played, and Yuwen Mingchuan's heart was stirred when he heard it, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, and he had the urge to draw his sword.

If there was a sword in his hand at this moment, he might have been drawn by anger and slashed out with a sword.

After a song, Yuwen Mingchuan frowned and asked, "What's the name of this song?" I've never heard of it in Lefu. ”

Dong Qianmo told him: "This is an ancient song, adapted from "The Legend of Chivalry", about a young man who suffered a catastrophe of annihilation, and unfortunately recognized the thief as his father, and married the daughter of the enemy who killed his father, and helped these people do all the things that violate their conscience. Later, the young man learned about his life story one day, but it was already difficult to return, so he had to run away from home and draw a line with the enemy's family. ”

"......" was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Dong Qianmo thought that the people outside the wall were gone, and he was about to take the birds back to the bird corridor, Yuwen Mingchuan asked: "Why do you play such a tune to me, and what does this kind of story have to do with me?" ”

Dong Qianmo asked rhetorically: "Doesn't the prince think that young man is miserable?" ”

Yuwen Mingchuan was silent again, and then asked: "It's really miserable, but what's the matter with me?" ”

Dong Qianmo said as a matter of course: "What happened to the prince is unfortunate, but compared with the young man whose whole family was killed, you are not so miserable. As long as you think like this, you can get rid of the depression in your heart and hate me so much. ”

"......" silence.

"Don't be impatient," Dong Qianmo finally advised, "Juezhi is not a poison, and your illness is not a terminal illness, as long as you are calm, sooner or later you will be able to walk on your legs!" ”

"......" is deeply silent.

After that, the sound of footsteps walking away sounded from inside the wall, and Yuwen Mingchuan did not cross the wall to chase.

After all, it was just a wall, and she was wearing the palace maid's green dress and narrow waist skirt, she must be the palace lady of Nianxiang Palace, and it was easy to find out her identity.

But at noon the next day, when Yuwen Mingchuan came to Nianxiang Palace and asked the Queen Mother for peace, he looked at the fifty-four palace laves, seventeen eunuchs, and nine grandmothers in this palace one by one, only to find that there was no one he was looking for.

Yuwen Mingchuan told Lady Qiao that there is a famous palace maid who is fifteen or sixteen years old, full of elves, she lost a money bag yesterday, can you find her to come out and claim it.

Lady Qiao didn't know why, so she still called out the people in the palace at the moment, lined up in two lines and asked the prince to find the "lost owner".

However, apart from disappointment, it is impossible for Yuwen Mingchuan to find anything. At this time, Dong Qianmo had been taken away by Li Zhouyu, and he was no longer in the Empress Dowager's palace.

Moreover, Yuwen Mingchuan was looking for a palace maid, but he didn't ask the Dong sisters who came to ask for peace yesterday.

Fortunately, there is still a clue in Yuwen Mingchuan's hand that can be traced, that is, the porcelain cup of the jackdaw folding Meitu. There is no doubt that that thing flowed out of the Dong Mansion.

According to the matchmaker, it was Miss Dong Si's idle work Dong Qianmo, but not long ago, Yuwen Mingchuan had confirmed in person that Dong Qianmo was not "her" at all.

Since it is not the same Miss Dong, it is very likely that the owner of the porcelain cup still lives in the Dong Mansion, and it may be another daughter of the Dong family, or a maid of their family.

Although there are still many questions waiting to be solved, there seems to be no better way to dig her out than to wait for the rabbit to be waited for.

"Liu Er," Yuwen Mingchuan called the housekeeper, "write a gift list, I want to give Mrs. Dong a generous gift." ”

"I don't know how many feet long the gift list will be?" The longer the gift list, the more numerous the gifts.

"Cut five feet and two inches long," Yuwen Mingchuan hurriedly ordered, "Carry the Shijing fish tank in my courtyard to the Dong Mansion as well." ”

"Stone Fish Tank?" Steward Liu was surprised, "But, that's a strange treasure that connects the two places!" Send it to the Dong family, then the next time you have something urgent, it won't be useful! ”

"And you say, 'I don't know?' But the most useful place at the moment is to find that person from the Dong Mansion. ”

"I don't know who the prince is looking for?" Steward Liu asked respectfully.

"A little woman."

"Is it a woman from the Dong Mansion?"

"Yes, it's the Dong family...... A little woman who doesn't pay her debts. ”
