"Ziyang, did you see Mrs. Zhang when you went to Beiping?" In the study, Duan Xichen looked at Mo Ziyang who was standing aside and asked.

"No, I heard that the people there said that they were going to Jingzhou."

"Jingzhou?"

"Hmm. Master Zhang was killed, there was no one to support Zhang's house, and the subordinates all left to find other masters. Mrs. Zhang took her little daughter to Jingzhou, saying that she had relatives there and went to take refuge. Hearing this, I saw Duan Xichen frowning slightly, "Jingzhou used to be a prosperous area, and I believe that people come and go there, but now after a small war, although it is not a land of famine, there are no merchants there." The beggar meets a person every few steps, and how many people can stand there at this time? Mrs. Zhang's visit to Jingzhou this time to join her relatives inevitably made people suspicious. ”

The subordinates also thought that something was wrong, so they left after seeing that there was nothing serious. Besides, this matter has been checked by Liji, so don't worry too much about it. ”

"Hmm."

"By the way, my lord, what are you going to do with the Jingzhou military order?"

Seeing Mo Ziyang ask this word, he thought for a moment and said: "Shen Yi has bad intentions, even if he steals the military order, he will undoubtedly accumulate troops, and when the time is ripe, he will raise troops and rebel." There must be no negligence in this matter. I'm going to return this order to Lord Mo. ”

"What your lord said is very true."

It's night.

The backyard of Xingwangfu was as silent as death, no noise, no noise. The bright moon emits a faint silver light, and the silver glow sprinkled on the bamboo leaves in front of it, and the luster is immediately revealed. It was like a gust of breeze passing by, blowing through Duan Xichen's face. He stood here under a plum tree, but in the winter future, the tree was nothing more than dead branches.

Shen Yi's matter stirred up Duan Xichen's heart for a moment, I don't know if he has collected other military orders, if he really has such power one day, this is a great ...... I'm afraid that it will collapse.

Mo Yinluo walked on the wooden corridor with a cup of tea, and his eyes noticed the figure not far away. "Your Excellency." Duan Xichen came back to his senses and looked at her to walk towards him unhurriedly. "Why are you standing here alone?"

"The moon is very beautiful tonight."

Mo Yinluo couldn't help but look up at the moon, it was indeed more mellow than usual, "Today is the fifteenth, and the fifteenth moon is so beautiful every month." Duan Xichen was silent, his gaze faintly swept over the clump of bamboo leaves in front of him that was blown by the wind. Mo Yin Luo Xu guessed something, and slowly put the teacup on the big stone on the side, "Your Highness is worried about Shen Yi's matter?" There was no one around, so she called him directly.

Duan Xichen sighed when he heard this, "Shen Yi is bold, I'm worried...... If he really rebelled in a few days, the people would not know how much they would suffer. ”

"Then we will try our best to stop him, if it doesn't work for three days, it will be three days, and if it doesn't work for three days, it will be ten days, anyway, Yin Luo will always stand by His Highness's side and help His Highness." She smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming in the garden, and like the quiet beauty of the moonlight, let people revel in it. Duan Xichen looked at her, and a warmth suddenly felt in his heart.

Mo Yinluo looked at the corners of Duan Xichen's mouth carefully, as if he raised a little. She suddenly walked to a vacant space in front of her, leisurely raised her skirt and danced, the petals that flew from nowhere gently flew between the sky and the earth, in the rain of flowers, a beautiful girl in purple appeared like a hollow valley orchid, with her light and graceful, fluttering like a fairy dance, wide wide sleeves opened and closed to cover, but also set off her thousands of beautiful posture. The ink-like hair was messy in the wind, and the most beautiful thing was the smile that looked back and surrounded the eyebrows.

Mo Yinluo didn't know why she was dancing here at this time, but the only hope in her heart at the moment was to make Duan Xichen stop working so hard, she hoped that he would be happy.

After the dance. Mo Yinluo stepped forward and carefully looked at Duan Xichen's complexion, her eyes mixed with a little emotion that she couldn't see. She smiled suddenly, "Your Highness smiled. For some reason, Duan Xichen became more and more intoxicated by her laughter and couldn't extricate himself. Xu noticed something, he suddenly raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye, it was a coal stain. Mo Yin Luo looked at the depth and love in Duan Xichen's eyes, and a trace of shyness suddenly crossed the corners of her eyes.

His Royal Highness's prosperous beauty...... It's over, it's over.

"Your Highness, I want to ask you for something."

"What?"

"Can I allow Yin Luo to go to Yi Ming Pavilion tomorrow?"

Duan Xichen was puzzled, "Yi Ming Pavilion? ”

"Yes, it's a teahouse." Mo Yinluo saw that he was silent for a long time, and pointed to the tea that had just been placed there, "Your Highness promise me." See! That Biluochun was made by me personally, and it should be filial piety to His Royal Highness! Mo Yinluo smiled mischievously again, "Biluochun~His Highness's favorite Biluochun~"

Duan Xichen smiled faintly, "Okay." ”

Mo Yinluo was overjoyed in his heart, and subconsciously hugged him, "Your Highness Xie, I know that Your Highness is the best." Duan Xichen didn't slow down for a while.

"By the way, Your Highness, you must taste this tea, for this, Chef Zhao, who is in charge, also told me a meal!" When she left happily, he realized that the heat on his cheeks made him feel at ease.

The breeze is not only the bamboo, but the beauty under the moon.

Following.

"Wow~ I'm so tired!" I stayed up all night to make that tea. "But fortunately, His Royal Highness accepted it, and I should be allowed to go out of the palace." Unconsciously, he walked down the street and stretched his waist, his arms raised, and his sleeve robe seemed to slip off, but he saw that at some point, the raised hands were grabbed by someone, and he also grabbed the sleeves, so that the sleeves did not slip off.

Mo Yinluo was startled, and when she reacted, she saw the beautiful man in blue in front of her standing less than a meter away from her. "How can a girl's family casually expose her arms." She nodded abruptly, and suddenly withdrew her hand that was fixed in the air, revealing a slight pink on her cheeks, which was really lovely.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao."

He smiled a little confusedly. I'm afraid to think that she is a prefect's daughter and has been educated since she was a child, how can she not know such etiquette? Mo Yinluo saw Xiao Yan dressed in light blue plain clothes, a folding fan in his hand, and a little scholar standing beside him, and said, "Xiao Gongzi, this is ......"

"He's my scholar." It seems that he is indeed a little younger than Xiao Yan, and he is probably not a few years younger than Mo Yinluo. It's as big as Mo Li'er.

"That's it!"

"Where is Miss Mo?"

"Yi Ming Pavilion."

"Coincidentally, I and Huayan are also going to go here."

Mo Yinluo smiled, "It's no better, but, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Xiao Gongzi to taste tea this time." ”

“？”

"I'm looking for Miss Silk."

"Silk Bamboo Girl?"

"Hmm. If you didn't say it, I'll go first. ”

"Hey......"

"Ming Niang!" When Ming Niang saw Mo Yinluo coming, she immediately greeted her with a smile, "Miss Mo is here?" Sit down! ”

"Oh no, I'm here to find Miss Silk."

"Silk? Sizhu went out to buy medicine, and should be back in a while. ”

"That'...... I'll wait here. Mingniang, you go and do your job, don't worry about me. ”

"Well, I'm going to get busy."

Looking at the chic teahouse, not only did Mo Yinluo feel a sense of comfort in his heart, he stepped back, wanting to look at the entire teahouse. It seemed that she had stepped on a stone under her feet, and she stumbled, and at this moment, a pair of hands grabbed her shoulders from behind, and it was the retreat that crashed into Xiao Yan's arms.

"Young Master Xiao? Painting inkstone, you didn't leave? ”

He simply let her go gently, "Didn't you just tell the girl that you wanted to come here?" "yes!"

"Miss Mo!" The person who came was Sizhu.

"Miss Sizhu, are you back?"

"Hmm. Is Miss Mo waiting for me? ”

"Yes! Miss Sizhu, is your mother's illness better? When asked this, her eyes showed a little gloom, "Mother has been getting worse and worse lately, for some reason?" ”

"Don't worry, Miss Sizhu, Jiren has his own nature."

"Hmm. It's ......"

"This is Xiao Gongzi of Xiao Mansion and his scholar painting inkstone."

Sizhu saluted, "The two sons are good." ”

"Hmm."

"Miss Sizhu, I have some silver taels here, you can take them to your mother to see a doctor, I'm afraid it won't work just to take medicine." As she spoke, she took out a heavy bag of silver taels from her bosom and handed it to Sizhu, who seemed to have come for this. Knowing that the eldest lady was seriously ill, he spent some silver taels to give her. Sizhu repeatedly pushed back, but in the end she accepted it, the heart of filial piety, why didn't she want her mother to be better!

"Silk Bamboo Girl! Your mother...... Something happened to your mother! Suddenly, a person's words stirred everyone's hearts, and Sizhu was even more anxious and went straight home.

"Mother!"

"Silk Bamboo Girl! Hey......" Seeing Sizhu stop, Mo Yinluo had no choice but to follow. Hearing this, "We're going to help too." "Yes." Xiao Yan commanded.

Sizhu's home is really far away, in a mountain forest on the outskirts of the city, remote and narrow. Until I arrived at a thatched hut made of wood and straw, I didn't expect that the family of the girl was so poor.

"Mother ......" followed her and fell a long way behind, and when she got outside the house, she could already hear her crying, so sad. When he entered, what he saw was Sizhu holding a cold corpse, and at that moment Mo Yinluo couldn't help but be stunned.

If the lady ...... Let's go?

There was a pool of blood on the ground beside them, I am afraid that it was left by Aunt Ruo. "Miss Mo!" In a blink of an eye, they saw Xiao Yan running over when they heard the sound, and they also stopped when they saw the scene. The three of them stood quietly in front of the door and watched, leaving only Sizhu holding the corpse in pain, crying as if it were three feet around. Her heart-rending cry made the three of them feel cold in their hearts, and they frowned, which made people feel a tingling pain in their hearts.

"Miss Sizhu, don't be too sad." Seeing that she had calmed down a little, Mo Yinluo hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Let the three of you see the joke...... It's just that...... Mother left suddenly...... It really grieves me......" she sobbed and forced a sentence out of her mouth. Mo Yinluo's face was melancholy, her brows were furrowed, and she turned around in this small and simple grass hut with doubts, she suddenly looked back at Sizhu, "Sizhu girl, what kind of disease does your mother have?" ”

"Wind chill." She looked at the cold corpse and sobbed.

"Wind chill? How can a cold that is not a terminal illness cause death? ”

"I don't know, it's just that since my mother got this disease, she can't do heavy work, and it is even a little difficult to get out of bed and walk, and from time to time she faints, and sometimes she even ...... Coughing up blood. Mo Yinluo bit his lower lip when he heard this, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

Cold...... How can this sign be a wind chill? Ordinary symptoms of wind and cold cannot be killed, and this kind of disease is not just as simple as ordinary wind and cold. "I doubt it...... If the eldest lady did not die of stroke and cold, she would not have died if she was not poisoned, otherwise...... It was he who killed. Sizhu was taken aback, "What does Miss Mo know?" ”

"It's just speculation, I'm not sure."

Sizhu put down the corpse and walked towards Mo Yinluo. "Could it be ......" Mo Yin Luo seemed to notice something for a moment, and swept the afterglow to Aunt Ruo, "Wait......" She walked quickly to the corpse, turning carefully, only to see that there was a small and inconspicuous blood hole in the tendon of the back heel of the corpse, and the other foot was in the same condition.

"Sure enough...... Miss Sizhu, when did Aunt Ruo's illness occur? ”

"Four months ago. This has been the case since I contracted the cold, and after two months, I couldn't get out of bed and walk at all. ”

"Did Miss Mo find something?" Xiao Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally said something.

"Hmm. The hind heel veins of the corpse were pierced, so it was impossible to walk, and since it was impossible to get out of bed and walk, why did the eldest mother die here. It was several meters away from the bed, and even if she fell out of the bed, she wouldn't have the thrust to roll here. And there is no reason. Moreover, there were no signs of tumbling on her body. But...... The predecessor was dusty, and your house was a straw land house, and it had recently encountered rain. If someone came here, they would have left footprints, but there were no other footprints but us. If the eldest lady dies today, it is probably because she struggled to crawl here when death came. Sizhu's heart suddenly cooled a little, "Mother......"

Xiao Yan probed the corpse and asked, "If the murderer didn't want Aunt Ruo to get out of bed and walk before, why didn't he just break her hamstrings." ”

"Nope! If you cut it with a knife or sword, it will leave a scar, so in order to avoid people's eyes, you use such a small needle to commit the crime. And when the murderer committed the crime, it must have been when Aunt Ruo didn't know about it, otherwise why didn't Aunt Ruo know about it? What I don't know is why the murderer killed your mother? Could it be a vendetta? Sizhu shook her head, "My mother and daughter depend on each other for their lives, and they have never offended others, how can they attract enemies?" ”

"That is ...... so"
