I went to Qianqing with all my heart, and there was no way to complain about sadness.

looked at the jasper sword on the desk, but hated the providence too much.

Murong Ningyan came out of the palace that day, and was in a trance all day long, and asked Sister Xue to go to Lin Dan Miracle Medicine to tell everyone what happened in the palace.

Everyone showed an expression of disbelief, especially Sister Xue, who couldn't believe that the emperor would come to her Shui Yunjian to watch the performance.

"Yes, I also asked the emperor this question, and he said who called Shui Yunjian so famous! As the king of a country, he cannot be ignorant of things that everyone knows. ”

"My business is so good, it's really the light of a cigarette girl!"

Lin Wan'er said: "Sister Yan'er, whether you are waiting for Xiao Gongzi, or with Li Gongzi, no, or entering the palace with the emperor, follow your heart, we will support your opinion." ”

"Yes, no matter how you choose, we will fully support you!" Ning Lu also said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Murong Ningyan's face turned red and said embarrassedly, "What are you talking about? Of course I'm waiting for Xiao Gongzi! ”

At this moment, a carriage stopped at the door of the pharmacy, and Father-in-law Zeng got down from the carriage and said to Murong Ningyan: "Miss Murong, the emperor has invited the girl into the palace and has important matters to discuss." ”

Murong Ningyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise: "What will the emperor do for me to enter the palace?" Could it be that there is the whereabouts of Xiao Gongzi? ”

"Please forgive me for having nothing to say, the girl still met with the saint and asked in person!"

Murong Ningshuang said goodbye to everyone and entered the palace with Grandpa Zeng in a carriage full of hope.

The carriage still stopped at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and Grandpa Zeng helped Murong Ningyan out of the carriage.

"Please wait a while, the old slave will go and pass it on."

After a while, Zeng's father-in-law came out and motioned for Murong Ningyan to go in, retreated by himself, and waited outside at the door.

"The people's daughter greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an!"

"The smoke is here, doesn't it mean that you don't have to salute me when there are no outsiders!" Seeing the emperor's expression, he was a little gloomy. Murong Ningyan felt that there was something not very good.

"Your Majesty, Prince Murong has arrived." Grandpa Zeng, who was waiting outside the door, said through the door.

"Let him in."

At this time, the palace maid served tea and snacks to the emperor and Murong Ningyan, and the emperor waved his hand to make them all retreat.

"The grass people see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an!"

"Flat!"

Murong Ningyan saw that his brother was also coming, and the two made eye contact to say hello.

"Yan'er, you haven't rested lately, have you? Are you worried about Xiao Gongzi? Seeing that Murong Ningyan's complexion was not very good, the emperor asked with concern.

Murong Ningyan lowered her head and said, "The folk girl has indeed had some insomnia recently, which has bothered Your Majesty!" ”

"Yan'er, Murong Gongzi, I invite your brothers and sisters here today, I want to tell you about Xiao Gongzi, didn't I say last time that I have been sending people to find out Xiao Gongzi's whereabouts? I did find some news about him recently. ”

"Found out the whereabouts of Xiao Gongzi? Where is he now? As soon as Yan'er heard the news of Xiao Gongzi, she was immediately refreshed, and her eyes showed a light of surprise. But at the same time, she also keenly sensed a trace of unhappiness from the emperor's face, although it was only fleeting.

Murong Ningyan immediately realized his gaffe and quickly calmed his mood.

"Yan'er, you have to be mentally prepared, nine times out of ten, Xiao Gongzi will be buried in a sinkhole in a mountain forest." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"How so? How can it be proven? As soon as he heard that Xiao Gongzi was no longer alive, Murong Ningyan could not hold back, and tears fell straight down like beads with broken threads. Murong Zifeng looked at the emperor with wide eyes in shock, wanting to hear what was going on.

"Don't get excited, because there are several sinkholes on that mountain, it is estimated that it was when it was snowing, Xiao Gongzi just passed there, because the snow was too thick, the sinkhole was covered by dead branches and leaves, and it was covered with thick snow, it looked peaceful, and it was normal to step on it without knowing it." The emperor gently hugged Yan'er's shoulder, comforted him and continued.

Murong Zifeng frowned and asked, "How can you conclude that Brother Xiao has fallen into the sinkhole?" ”

"Because last year's plum wine made by Yan'er, the fragrance wafted throughout Jinling City, this year there are many people to follow suit, it happens that there are many plum trees on that mountain, there is a group of mountain people to pick plums together, found that there is a sword not far from a sinkhole, the person who picked up the sword wants to take it for himself, and those who go together think that it should be owned together, so they compete with each other, and finally there is a big fight, one of them is injured by the person who picks up the sword, and the others sue him to the yamen."

"Then how do you know that the sword is Xiao Gongzi's?" Murong Ningyan asked anxiously.

"I know Xiao Gongzi's sword, and we grew up practicing swords together. When he was a child, he used a wooden sword, and it was only when he grew up that his father passed on a sword handed down from his ancestors to him. Murong Zifeng said.

The emperor clapped his hand to the palace maid and said, "I saw this sword before you came, and it is the one that Xiao Gongzi wore when he fought with me that day in the water and stream, and I thought it was his. ”

"The people I sent to find Xiao Gongzi had already greeted the people from the Yamen, and asked them not to let go of any news that might be related to Xiao Gongzi, so they soon went up the mountain to check the scene, and demonstrated the situation when the snow was very deep, imagining everything that might happen at that time, people must have self-rescue actions when they fell into the sinkhole, it is estimated that the sword was shot or knocked out by a tree at that time, and sank into the thick snow, and when the ice and snow melted, the sword lay there quietly."

At this time, the palace maid took out a sword without a scabbard, Murong Zifeng hurriedly stepped forward to take it, covered his face with his hands without looking closely, and his shoulders fell together, but he immediately realized that it was in the emperor's bedroom, and the emperor was by his side, so he quickly forced himself to calm down, and said in a hoarse voice: "I concluded that this is Brother Xiao's sword, I used to love it because he had such a sharp sword." ”

Murong Ningyan stepped forward and saw that Murong Zifeng's eyes were red, he took the sword from his brother's hand, and carefully inspected the hilt of the sword, the hilt inlaid with beautiful sapphires, he had seen it when Xiao Gongzi saved himself for the first time, this is his absolute yes, Murong Ningyan's eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

The emperor on the side saw that Murong Ningyan was about to faint, so he quickly hugged Murong Ningyan with one hand, and took the sword in Murong Ningyan's hand with the other hand and threw it aside.

"Murong Gongzi, you and Xiao Gongzi are like brothers, leave this sword for you to think about! Yan'er can't get out of the palace today, so he stays in the palace for the time being, people can't be resurrected after death, and you also mourn! In order to make it easier for you to enter and exit the palace gate, accept this token. The emperor handed a token to Murong Zifeng.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the grass people are retiring!"

After Murong Zifeng learned the news of his friend's misfortune, he secretly felt sad all the way, if he hadn't instigated him to flee that day, would the result be better? Suddenly thought that Yan'er should be more sad and sad than herself after learning this news, but fortunately, seeing that the saint was really moved by Ning Yan, this is not a good thing for Murong Ning Yan, who just lost Xiao Gongzi, at least there is no need to worry about Yan'er not being able to think about it, it can be regarded as a relief!

The moonlight in front of the steps was as bright as water, and the stars were twinkling, and the emperor sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her beautiful face with great pity, and her eyes were full of soft light, and the imperial doctor said that the girl was just in a hurry, and she was temporarily unconscious, her heart was too tired, and it was good to sleep peacefully, but looking at her frowning, it seemed that she was not sleeping peacefully.

The breeze was gentle, making people feel a little cool, and the emperor, who had not slept all night before the bed, got up to cover the window, the east was white, and the sky was about to dawn.

Murong Ningyan was having a long, long dream, the dream was chaotic but extremely real, and the whole dream seemed to be inextricably linked. In the dream, Xiao Gongzi smiled and waved at her, and the jade lion holding him turned around and walked forward, Murong Ningyan hurriedly reached out to pull but couldn't pull anything; When I wanted to shout, my throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a sound; I wanted to chase him, but my leg seemed to have been spelled, and I couldn't move at all, and I fell into a state of confusion and helplessness, so I had to watch him drift away and disappear into the sky, the fog became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In the incomparable sadness and despair, the scene gradually changed, first saw her mother open her arms to her, she cried aggrievedly, and was about to throw herself into her mother's arms, suddenly, Murong Ningshuang appeared in front of Murong Ningyan with a hideous face, which frightened her into an exclamation, and then turned back to her mother and didn't know where she went, "Mother, Mother" But the same still couldn't make any sound.

The princess suddenly walked over, frowned, and with an extremely disgusted expression, she forced Murong Ningyan into the corner of the wall, and said in a sour and harsh voice, "Aren't you dead?" How did you come back again? All right! I know, it turns out that you are evading the palace by pretending to be dead, and you have hurt my frost, and I am going to sue you for the crime of deceiving the king... ”

Murong Ningyan wanted to leave here, any efforts were in vain, and he still couldn't move half a step, at this moment, it seemed that his father walked over to him: "Father, you have to believe me, Yan'er didn't harm my sister." The same throat shouted and couldn't make a sound.

The prince frowned and walked over and said, "Yan'er! You will kill your father like this, and your father still expects you to be able to help your father say a word in front of the emperor, and you want to go up again, which is good, not only can you not help your father, but also drag your father's hind legs, in case the emperor knows, this is a big crime of bullying the king, and it will destroy the door, alas! You'd better leave quickly and find a good man to marry incognito! ”

Murong Ningyan's heart was like a knife at this time, this is his father, his own home? Suddenly, I saw Xiao Gongzi walking towards him with a smile, Murong Ningyan was pleasantly surprised, but for some reason he walked so slowly, and he was still wearing the same white clothes that he had when he saved himself.

Could it be that Xiao Gongzi is not dead?
