The Shun'an Royal Mansion is different from usual today, and the plaques on the beams of the house are hung with red ropes and red flowers everywhere, and the word "happiness" is pasted. Of course, today is the day when the Nine Princes welcome their concubines, and the Shun'an Palaces are crowded with people, all congratulating for this good fate, but they don't know how many complicated relationships and reasons there are.

Gu Xiazhen walked into the main hall with Bi Wanyan, who was covered with a red ribbon and a red scarf, for some reason, his steps became so heavy, and the people around him made him both afraid and happy. After three prostrations, the two entered the cave hand in hand.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Gu Xiazhen instructed the maid, and then lifted the wedding scale and lifted the red hijab of Bi Wanyan, who was sitting here quietly, wearing a phoenix crown and a red makeup, which was really lovely, but the cold expression made him tremble. "From today on, you are the ninth princess of my Shun'an Palace, if you have anything in the future, you can find this king." She still sat still, only to speak slowly. "Thank you, Lord Wang."

"I know what you are willing to be the Nine Princesses for, if it were you in the past, I wouldn't mention it until I died."

She suddenly raised her eyes to look at the flickering figure under the flickering candlelight, "Why do you promise me when you know I'm not her?" ”

Gu Xiazhen smiled indifferently, "So what?" Isn't it? As long as it's still you...... That's enough. He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Rest the princess, and this king will go out for a walk." When the words fell, he strode away. Bi Wanyan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his back, and her heart suddenly hurt like a knife, she held on to the wooden bed frame beside her, but it was difficult to resist the pain of eating in her heart.

Why......

Following.

At the beginning of the morning, the sun rises into the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth. The smoke blew and rang the long bell towards the attic house, crisp to the ears. The cracking of the cups under the eaves brought a bitter cry from the maid. "Someone! The princess is gone! Come on! Jing'er picked up the broken teacup on the ground and shouted bitterly.

"What?" Gu Xiazhen led a group of people over, his face anxious.

"Lord, Jing'er prepared tea and wanted to clear the princess's mouth, but she didn't expect that no one would answer after knocking on the door for a long time, so Jing'er had to push the door in, but she didn't expect to see the princess." Jing'er's saluting movements were trembling, and she was afraid that she was about to cry.

"Someone! Search the palace and find the princess no matter what! ”

"Yes!" He gave the order, and in the next second, he saw Bi Wanyan walking slowly in a red and scarlet dress, "No need to look for it." ”

“？！”

"I'm just going out for a walk, why do I make a big fuss?"

Gu Xiazhen waved his hand, and the subordinates beside him left one after another.

"The princess really has the style of the head of the family, and on the first day of entering the palace, she quietly and thoroughly inspected the palace." Gu Xiazhen's face was ugly, and he seemed to have guessed where Bi Wanyan had gone.

"The prince praises falsely."

"You went to the study?"

“……”

When he saw that she was silent, he asked, "Why?" Bi Wanyan sneered, "The prince is guarding against me? At this, Gu Xiazhen said lightly, "If it weren't for the ghost in your heart, how could you think of this?" ”

"You ......" Bi Wanyan pointed at him angrily, almost pointing to her nose. Gu Xiazhen's expression didn't know how to describe it, and he was angry and helpless? He suddenly grabbed Bi Wanyan's wrist and held it tightly. "The princess is a smart person, and I don't expect to lose her demeanor in front of this king." He paused and leaned closer, "You are now from the Shun'an Palace, where have you been?" What do you think? I know very well what I have done. I know that you hate me and want to kill me, and I also know your purpose of wanting to be the Nine Princesses this time, no matter who instigated you to provoke, I know that it is not your own wish. Henceforth...... No matter what you do, I will not stop you, no matter how you hurt me, I will not fight back, and when you let go of your hatred, when will you ...... And I was at ease. ”

Bi Wanyan's heart was as uncomfortable as something for a while, why was he so worried when he heard this? By the time she was in a trance, at some point, the palm that was holding her wrist had loosened. At that moment, she had the urge to let go and wanted to grab it, but the hand hanging in the air did not make any movement.

"Jing'er."

"Yes."

"In the future, I will serve the princess."

"Yes."

After that, Bi Wanyan could feel his affectionate gaze, but she was powerless to respond, and when he walked past her, she felt that even her breathing was so heavy. "Gu Xiazhen !!" A heart-rending cry made Gu Xiazhen's heart chill a little, but he didn't stop.

Why? Why is this person so good to himself? His words did not imprison her, but they did deeply imprison her heart. Why is the sour feeling in my heart so uncomfortable? What exactly did I forget?

West Garden.

A vague figure flashed through the light veil that came through the door. According to his original memory, Mo Yinluo held a brush and sketched on the paper the jade pendant that he had seen once, which was Mrs. Zhang's jade pendant. Those eight words were deeply engraved in her mind, and she seemed to have already explored everything, and what she was looking for now was just an opportunity.

"Miss Mo! Mo girl! The sudden cry made Mo Yinluo's hand tremble, and she hurriedly put away the paper and calmly faced Lan'er who came in a panic. Lan'er is the maid of Xingwangfu, and she has been following Mo Yinluo since then, probably arranged by Duan Xichen.

"What?"

"There was a disturbance on Jinling Street......"

“？”

"It's Miss Mo, your brother Moshen."

"What?" She subconsciously stood up in shock and went straight to the door.

How could my brother make trouble in Jinling City without anything? Could it be that something went wrong?

She didn't care about the curfew, and ran out of the house on foot.

I don't know why, there are really a lot of people on the streets today, and there is a sense of emptiness when there are few people. Mo Yinluo's steps gradually slowed down, and her purple clothes stood out in the crowd. Suddenly, there was a shout like a military order, and then an army in armor came on horseback. Mo Yinluo's steps stopped suddenly, pedestrians fled in all directions, and the wind on Jinling Street was full of wind, and a sense of desolation hit, and she was the only one standing here. When the army came to her, she saw that the commander of the army was a young man in his prime, no more than nineteen years old. And he looked very familiar, but Mo Yinluo couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.

He saw Mo Yinluo standing here calmly, grabbed the horse's rope, and said, "Who is blocking my way?" ”

Mo Yinluo stepped forward, "Who are you?" Jinling City is sheltered by the soldiers of the government, where did the army sent to frighten the people to flee in all directions? ”

"In Xia Jiangmao, he was the general of Suzhou City, and today he was ordered by General Shen to enter the city to maintain law and order. This time, I was going to meet the general. "Jiang Mao? Mo Yin Luo Xu remembered something, he was the escort general of the Pingle County Lord that day, and he had met with Duan Xichen last time.

Shen Yi, it turned out to be him again! This time, Jiang Mao led his troops into Jinling City, and I am afraid that he is planning something.

"It turned out to be Commander Jiang, and the people's daughter had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, so she took the liberty of Commander Jiang. But...... This Jinling City is owned by His Majesty, and it is actually the capital of the Son of Heaven, if there is no Majesty to order Commander Jiang to trespass so much, he is not afraid that His Majesty will blame him? ”

Jiang Mao looked at Mo Yinluo and looked at Xiao who seemed to be reproachful and blamed, but his momentum was even more ignited, "Who are you?" What does this command of the general have to do with you? ”

Mo Yinluo smiled slightly when he heard this, but left without saying a word. Jiang Mao Lema looked back at Mo Yinluo's back as he gradually moved away, his brows furrowed slightly, but he seemed to understand something. "Commander, she's just a girl, why don't you arrest her directly if you dare to stand in the way of me?" The soldiers on the side stepped forward.

"No, don't you know why the people fled one by one, and she is the only one standing here and daring to shout like us?"

"Little ones don't know."

Jiang Mao's face suddenly changed and solemnized, "Long robe and purple clothes, sideburns and hairpins, can have such courage and strength, she is the first goddess detective in the capital personally sealed by Prince Duan Yi - Mo Yinluo." ”

Mo Yinluo stroked her skirt and walked hurriedly. She walked in a trance, and the more she went in the direction of Mofu, the more she could see the crowd. Wherever the army led by Jiang Mao passed, no people stayed. On the way, she came across a teahouse, and inadvertently a wooden window on the second floor of the teahouse caught her attention. The figure...... Isn't it Xiao Yan and Shen Yi? Seeing the two sitting opposite each other and serving tea, she was stunned.

Didn't Jiang Mao say that he was going to see Shen Yi? But why is he drinking tea with Xiao Yan here? Jiang Mao went to the city to meet Shen Yi? Seeing that the city gate has been replaced with new soldiers, I am afraid that it will ...... This is just a façade. Shen Yi was afraid that he had brought troops into the city without His Majesty's knowledge. Seeing that the soldiers and horses entered the city and there were no soldiers to stop them...... On this day, things are going to change.

She just stared at it for a moment and walked away. And at this moment, Xiao Yan, who was just serving tea above the attic, also noticed Mo Yinluo along the angle, frowned, and left a trace of melancholy on his face, hesitantly put down the teacup, and looked at her back as she walked away for a long time.

"Brother!" Mo Yin Luo Fang shouted when he entered Mo Mansion, only to see Mo Li'er who heard the sound, "Sister, why are you back?" ”

"Li'er, where is my brother? How is he? Are there any injuries? ”

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Mo Li'er looked at the flustered Mo Yinluo in confusion. She grabbed Mo Li'er's shoulders tightly, "Lan'er from Xingwangfu said that my brother is making trouble on the street, isn't it?" ”

Mo Li'er sighed, "How can my brother have nothing to do, besides, he has been practicing martial arts with his master in the martial arts hall at the moment, where did he have the time to make trouble on Jinling Street?" Mo Yinluo was a little sluggish, she came back to her senses, and stood there in surprise. Suddenly, a white dove from nowhere flew in front of her. Mo Yinluo stretched out his arm to the ground where it landed, and noticed a bundle of rolled notes tied to the white dove's leg.

I have never received a message from a flying pigeon, and how did this white pigeon recognize me? Could it be that it was sent to the wrong person?

She still took the opportunity to open the paper letter, which is a little familiar:

Tomorrow, His Majesty will visit the palace garden to celebrate the marriage of King Shun'an, and Shen Yi will attend.

This letter is unsigned.

Mo Yin Luo froze. "Li'er, don't go out of the house these days." Mo Yinluo walked away after finishing his advice. "Hey...... Sister, where are you going? ”

"Huixing Palace."

It's night.

The palace of Thuan An was peaceful, the moonlight was hazy, and the moonlight spilled into the house. The shadow of the green bamboo in front of the door reflects the moonlight on the window paper, and the bamboo shadow is swaying, and the strips are tangled, unclear, and cut.

Bi Wanyan's figure followed the candlelight on the wall, she sat quietly at the table, a lamp beside her, under the dim light, she could vaguely be seen to put the paper in her hand into the oil lamp, burning out little by little, leaving only the ashes remaining in the oil lamp. Suddenly she heard a bird's warbler, she quickly got up and walked out the door, the breeze swept through, and the cold wind slashed across her face like a sword. She jumped out of the house until she reached a wooded spot where the red dress stopped.

"General." Bi Wanyan saluted the black-robed man on the side. I saw him turn around, and it was Shen Yi's face. "How are those state city military newspapers collected in the Shun'an Palace?"

"General Hui...... Recently, when we entered the palace, the king of Shun An still did not trust me. ”

"You're lying!" He scolded, and Bi Wanyan hurriedly knelt on the ground. "What doesn't trust you! As early as half a year ago, he Gu Xiazhen had already given his heart to you, and he couldn't ask for it when you came back now! How could he not trust you? Shen Yi's face was cold, and it was even more frightening to be mixed with the cold wind. Bi Wanyan didn't know how to speak, but she had a secret in her heart that she didn't want to speak, and she didn't know why Shen Yi was so scared of her. The person in front of her didn't seem to be too close to herself, and she seemed to ...... It's very estranged from this person.

"General, what have you forgotten? Why is Gu Xiazhen so good to me? Why don't I want to hurt him? General, tell Hongyan, is it right or wrong for me to do this? Shen Yi saw her show this expression, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, "Hongyan, you are a killer I have carefully cultivated, and now you are suspicious of me, don't I know if it's right or wrong?" ”

"But the general ......"

"Presumptuous!" Under these words, a sore feeling of burning skin permeated his cheeks, and his slap completely woke up Bi Wanyan in confusion. She got up slightly, "Hongyan understands......" Then, she retreated silently, and the red shadow faintly disappeared into the darkness.

——

Mo Yinluo came and went in a hurry, it was already night when she entered the Xingwang Mansion, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she walked towards the brightly lit Duan Xichen's residence. But she wanted to go in and push the door, but was blocked by Mo Ziyang. "Ziyang, why is this?"

"Miss Mo, it's getting late, Your Highness has already rested, you better go back."

Mo Yinluo's brows furrowed slightly, "Rested?" This fire has not been extinguished, and you tell me that Your Highness has rested? Mo Ziyang still calmly stopped, "Miss Mo, please go back." ”

"Ziyang, what's wrong with Your Highness these days? So unkind to me? Before, whenever I came to His Highness, he never refused. ”

"It is precisely because Miss Mo was too indulgent before, His Highness hopes that Miss Mo can correct it now. His Royal Highness needs to rest, and Miss Wangmo should not embarrass Ziyang. ”

At this point, her heart darkened a little, and she didn't know what to say.

Silently took a few steps back, facing the brightly lit room, and said, "Your Highness, Yin Luo knows that you asked Lan'er to tell me that something happened to my brother, and under the pretext of letting me meet Jiang Mao." I also know that you sent that letter, and Yin Luo understands that His Highness is pointing me out. But what I don't know is that you obviously told me so much that I came to you this time, why did you turn me away......" Mo Yinluo guessed everything, and solved all the mysteries, and the only one who couldn't understand it was him, Duan Xichen. "Is it me...... What did you do wrong? So you don't want to see me......"

She retreated under the plum tree beside the stone table, dressed in a light purple dress and a snow-white cloak. At some point, snowflakes like catkins had fallen, flying in the cold wind blowing over. She was so sad that her heart hurt as if it had been cut by a knife, and she was left with a hole that could not be filled. At this moment, the only thing she wanted was to see Duan Xichen, and she didn't know why she really wanted to see him at this time.

Quietly, as the snow became heavier and heavier, he walked away from this place, leaving an empty and lonely place.

When it left, there was a "squeak", and the wooden door was gradually pushed open. "Your Highness......" Mo Ziyang looked at Duan Xichen, whose face was as pale as snow, and was a little worried. Duan Xichen didn't say a word, but he just looked at the back of the fading away in the distance and gradually disappeared into the vast snow, and the plum blossom petals were mixed in the snow, indistinguishable and innumerable.

A little loneliness wrapped between the eyebrows was covered one by one like this delicate white snow.
