Duan Xichen rushed from Jingzhou to Jinling overnight, and he was already far away and tired, but he was still in the study and concentrated on managing government affairs. He was obviously not in a state, and although he was holding the music in his hand, his soul did not know where to fly. The moonlight spilled into the study, reflecting his angular outline, sitting on a white seat, the look in his eyes was incomparable, but his thoughts seemed to be tied up by something, his brows frowned slightly, and his expression was gloomy.

"Yufeng ......," he muttered. If it weren't for Feng Liji's discovery of the news about Mrs. Zhang, and Shen Yi's ambition to take advantage of Master Zhang's recruitment, how could he find Mrs. Zhang today, and how would he know that he was the nurse of Princess Yufeng back then? This is the one who knows everything.

"Your Excellency!" A noise disrupted his thoughts, and he looked intently, only to see a subordinate coming briskly.

"What?"

"Just now the descendants of Qianju Pavilion came to report, and Miss Mo went to the banquet here."

"Why is she there?"

"I heard that it is Miss Ouyang, the daughter of the Admiral of the Navy, and ...... Princess. ”

His heart trembled, "The time of a month has come ......"

The subordinate was puzzled, "My lord? ”

"Nothing, hurry up!"

"Yes."

Duan Xichen remembered that Mo Yinluo told him that Ouyang Yue'er had written a letter to her, and today was the Lantern Festival. For some reason, a wave of uneasiness suddenly swelled up in his heart. Duan Xichen didn't care about much, and immediately drove his horse to the Qianju Pavilion, and he couldn't think of taking his subordinates.

"Brother Duan?!" Xu Pingle was surprised to see Duan Xichen standing in front of the door, and hurriedly got up and came to him. "How did you get here?"

"Where's Mo Yinluo?"

Xu Pingle's heart fell, "Brother Duan...... It's hard to see Pingle once, but it's for someone else? ”

"Pingle, what are you looking for her? If there is anything you can talk to the king about, you can talk to the king directly. ”

"It turns out that Pingle is such a narrow-minded person in Brother Duan's heart, how could you have expected that I would hurt her, do you care about her so much?" Duan Xichen avoided Xu Pingle's pitiful gaze and said, "This king asks again, where is Mo Yinluo?" Xu Pingle was stunned, and his actions shocked Xu Pingle for a while, and he couldn't stand on his feet. She couldn't stand still, took a step back, her eyes lowered.

"Your Highness, even if you are the crown prince, you need to be polite to the lord of Pingle! Will this be criticized? Ouyang Yue'er Xu achieved something, and said with a smile. Duan Xichen indifferently threw a cold look, which made her tremble, "What does this king say to the county lord What do you have to do with it?" ”

"I ......"

Seeing that he couldn't speak, he walked straight to the back room.

"Your Highness, it's a lack of courtesy for you to break in like this! Besides, we haven't met Miss Mo. Duan Xichen stopped, and suddenly, a call from nowhere caught his attention, and he pushed away Ouyang Yue'er, who was blocking in front of him, and strode behind a screen not far away. The next second, his heart ached like a pinprick. In a wooden basin slightly larger than the screen lay the man who had made him easy to find, filled with water, her clothes soaked with water, her face as pale as snow, and still unconscious.

Duan Xichen subconsciously pushed away the maid who had just poured Mo Yin Luo water, picked up Mo Yin Luo in the water, raised his clothes and walked out. "Pingle." He stood faintly in front of the screen, and Xu Pingle and all the maids present were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down. Duan ...... "She was about to speak, but Duan Xichen took the lead." How does this king teach you on weekdays? ”

"Don't be dazzled by possessions, don't be confused by people's hearts." Xu Pingle still didn't dare to raise her head, she knew that although this tone was not very harsh, she could understand Duan Xichen's anger and blame at this time.

"If you know it, what is it that you have committed today?"

"I ......"

The anger in Duan Xichen's eyes seemed to swallow people, but he still didn't change his face, and his eyes never looked at Xu Pingle, who was kneeling towards him on one side. "The lord of the county, and the daughter of the official and the daughter of the courtier, do you know...... What a mistake did you make? ”

"Brother Duan...... I'm sorry...... I didn't know it would happen, I thought ......"

"What do you think? The changes in this world come and go that you think you can do? The king will not tell my father about today's events, and if you do it again one day, it is not that I will not be able to save you without saying it. After speaking, the cold words made Xu Pingle feel cold in his heart.

The back gradually faded, Xu Pingle just understood one thing thoroughly - in his eyes, how could there be any imperial power? What are the charges? What did he see...... It's just a Mo Yinluo.

Lower your eyes and bow your head. The gorgeous jade pendant like a phoenix crown on her forehead dangled in front of her eyes, and she had never felt so heavy in the jade crown dress worth tens of millions of gold, which made her breathless.

The curtain fell, and a line of fiery tears rolled down.

——

"Ahem...... cough ...... "It really looks like something is stuck in my throat, I only feel a hoarse pain, and my eyes are foggy for a long time before I open them." "Your Highness?" Mo Yinluo's gaze fell on Duan Xichen at the table, and he couldn't help but reveal surprise in his words.

"Is there something wrong?" Seeing that he couldn't speak, Mo Yinluo didn't care much about it, "It's okay." "What she doesn't know is that she was still in Qianju Pavilion before, why did she come to Xingwangfu now? Thinking of Ouyang Yue'er and her maid pressing themselves into the water one by one, she couldn't help but tremble.

Raised his eyes to look at Duan Xichen. It was probably His Highness who rescued her.

He sat there with an unchanged face, without the slightest movement, one hand on the table, his eyes fixed on something. Mo Yinluo had no way of knowing. The thoughts that lingered between his brows seemed to have guessed something, and he didn't plan to ask. got up, hastily put on his cloak and walked out of the door, his movements startled Duan Xichen, he looked back, "What are you doing?" ”

Mo Yinluo smiled at him, "Go and fry a pot of tea for His Highness." Seeing her bright smile, Duan Xichen's heart warmed, as if Fang Cai's anger had disappeared.

"Your Highness, where did the county lord's bird come from?" Mo Yinluo put on a velvet skirt and sat down after frying tea, and asked Duan Xichen busily.

"Why do you ask this?"

"I just think it's weird......" Seeing the memories in her mind, Duan Xichen took a sip of tea and replied, "It was given by Sun Guifei." ”

“？！” Mo Yinluo thought he had misheard, "Sun ...... Sun Guifei? She's not ......."

"It was given to Pingle by Concubine Sun Guifei when she was alive a few years ago."

"I see." Mo Yinluo's face was solemn, thinking about something.

"What's wrong with you?"

"When I went to the banquet today, I saw the county lord's bird, but it was just ......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

It's just that the white-eared thrush seems to have been fed Shen Yi's intimidating pill. I heard that Shen Yi made great contributions back then, and His Majesty rewarded him with a thousand gold, and that day coincided with the birthday of Princess Yufeng, the youngest daughter of Sun Guifei, Shen Yi exchanged a thousand gold for a white-eared thrush and gave it to Princess Yufeng, right? ”

At this point, the sorrow on Duan Xichen's face deepened, "This is indeed the case." ”

"I don't understand, what did he do with the thrush bird that was given to Sun Guifei?"

"Surveillance."

Mo Yinluo was taken aback, "Surveillance?!" ”

"Back then, Concubine Sun Guifei was favored by her father, just because she was like ...... The king's mother. ”

Looking at Duan Xichen's mention of this, Mo Yinluo's heart also cooled a little, "That ......"

"Shen Yi wants to rely on Sun Guifei based on this."

He ...... What reason does Sun Guifei have to help him? ”

A breeze passed by, but she saw Duan Xichen's gaze on her, which made her elusive, "Jade Phoenix ......"

Thuan An Palace.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! I don't know when it started, Qiu Gu walked through here and there non-stop, and shouted Gu Xiazhen as he ran, all the way to the study. Gu Xiazhen was obviously a little annoyed, and slightly slapped the music in his hand on the table. "Qiugu, how many times has this king told you?"

Qiu Gu's face was full of grievances, "Lord Wang, no...... It's not Qiugu's thoughts...... Eight hundred miles in a hurry......" Gu Xiazhen calmly picked up the folds, and his indifferent expression made Qiu Gu anxious again. "Your cat got lost again?"

"No, my lord! I don't know when a woman in red has been standing on the wooden banner of the palace, and she has not left, and I heard people say that she has been standing at noon since dawn. ”

"The woman in red?"

"Yes, Lord Wang."

"Then why didn't you tell this king before?"

"At first, the handyman thought there was something going on, practicing or something, but I didn't expect to leave all the time, and then she said she wanted to see you, so I told you!"

Gu Xiazhen had a somewhat reproachful expression, and without saying a word, he immediately got up and walked out of the door. I don't know why, he seems to have guessed who it is, but he doesn't have the courage or dare not confirm that it is the person.

"Hey...... Girl! Come down! It's not safe on it! Before he reached the door, he heard the handyman shouting at the red shadow on the beam.

"What?" Gu Xiazhen asked as soon as he arrived here, and before he could hear the handyman's answer, his gaze moved to the red shadow. Dressed in a red dress of light gauze and decorated with a slender red rope, a pair of eyes are as clear as crystals immersed in water, looking into the distance. It's just that the light veil that brushes on the face obscures the face. "Girl!" When the woman heard Gu Xiazhen's call, she finally lowered her eyes to look at Gu Xiazhen under the beam, and on that side of her eyes, a breeze drove a clear airflow, and the veil fell immediately. Gu Xiazhen's heart jumped suddenly, and it was really her.

"Wan'er......" He unconsciously stretched out his hand and couldn't touch it. Bi Wanyan jumped off the wooden beam, a fragrant fragrance permeated, she stood in front of Gu Xiazhen, but three feet away, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

"You're finally back, you're ...... this time" He was halfway through his words, but was interrupted, Bi Wanyan stepped forward, stared at him, and said, "I want to be the ninth princess." ”

“？！” Gu Xiazhen was stunned, and didn't know how to speak, "You...... What did you say? ”

"I want to be the ninth princess - Princess Shun'an."

"Why did you suddenly ...... Also, when you left, you said that your name was Hongyan, Wan'er...... It's ......" he became incoherent for a moment.

"My name is Hongyan, you just have to answer me, okay? Or not? ”

Gu Xiazhen could see that her expression was incomprehensible, but this was really not like what she said. And she was ...... Killed. "Yes. As long as you come back. Gu Xiazhen looked at the strange and familiar face in front of him, and didn't know what to say. But he couldn't refuse her, whether she was her or not, as long as she was still Bi Wanyan, she was the Wan'er he had always loved.

Why is she coming back now, and why is she going to be the ninth princess? He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

It turned out that the thrush of the county lord of Pingle was not raised by herself, but indirectly obtained from Shen Yi by the hand of Sun Guifei, but he Shen Yi could not have imagined that his strategy at that time was collapsed due to His Majesty's heavy use of him, and the fame and fortune in front of him back then exposed his ambition to seek power and usurp the throne by Sun Guifei's hand.

Mo Yinluo took advantage of the fact that Duan Xichen still remembered the clues he told him clearly, and hurriedly collected the token and clothes to enter the palace and left. Shen Yi's package of things was too troublesome, who knew that he actually planted eyeliner in Sun Guifei. His Royal Highness now has no close relatives except for His Majesty and the Nine Princes, who are high and powerful. When he was a child, he was also close to Princess Yufeng, and if he could find the information of Princess Yufeng back then, it would also be a comfort to him. Although Mo Yinluo is not left behind, it is possible to try his best to investigate. Who knew that when she stepped out of the West Garden, she was stopped by Mo Ziyang, who suddenly fell from the sky.

"Where is Miss Mo going?" He stood in front of her with one hand, blocking the way.

"Enter the palace."

"Why did you enter the palace?"

Mo Yinluo was upset, and there was a sense of burning eyebrows, "Ziyang Mo doesn't even have to ask about my private affairs?" ”

"Ziyang didn't mean that, just to ensure Miss Mo's safety."

"Your Excellency gives orders?"

Mo Ziyang nodded slightly.

She started again, "I'll go find the adults." ”

"Miss Mo, don't go."

"Why?"

"The adults are not here, I went to the Xiao Mansion."

Mo Yinluo was surprised, "Xiao Mansion? "Isn't the adult on a bad relationship with Xiao Gongzi? Why don't you go to Xiao Mansion if you have nothing to do? But recently, adults have always been running around, first to Jingzhou, and now to Xiaofu, and he is not often seen in the mansion these days, why is this?

"Ziyang!"

“？”

Mo Yinluo smiled respectfully, "Can you help me go to Duyang Lake to get something?" ”

"What?"

"As soon as you say so, I won't enter the palace anymore, and I plan to go back to Mofu. Suddenly it occurred to me that the hairpin that was about to be sent to Li Er was still lost at the jade pavilion in Duyang Lake, maybe it would be picked up on my behalf? After staring at Mo Ziyang for a moment, Mo Ziyang was silent and left.

At this time, someone happened to have a chance to get out, "Ziyang is really easy to deceive...... Ha! Mo Yinluo didn't say anything about Xingwangfu, and he attached a carriage to the post house, and the horses of Xingwangfu would not let me move without the consent of the adults. The trouble though...... I really don't want to ride in a carriage!
