Chapter 20 Scarlet Heart

The dazzling sunlight illuminates the entire Jinling City, where people come and go, so lively.

In the vast sea of people, I saw two dazzling figures at a glance, the woman had ink-like hair, a blue Biluo skirt, and her complexion was even more captivating, this is the first goddess of the capital. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally conferred the title, so that she walked jumping during those days. It is precisely because of this name that you can walk on the streets with the people of the Xingwang Mansion without having to suffer the sin of tongue. And beside her is Duan Xichen, who is named Qin Feng, the head of the Jinyi Guard of the Xingwang Mansion, but is actually the prince of the Ming Dynasty. This time, the two of them walked side by side, just to go to the mansion to see the Nine Princes. Although there are many people on the street, you can see the extraordinary appearance of the two people, with the same unusual temperament, pedestrians have consciously avoided it, giving way to them, of course, there are a lot of eyes and discussions. Mo Yinluo couldn't help but be stared at uncomfortably, he used to go out as a little eunuch, but now he rashly went out with his real gender, which attracted so many eyeballs. On the other hand, isn't it because of Duan Xichen? Well! It must be, just look at the nymphomaniac looks of those girls.

"My lord, why don't you take the carriage?" She looked around at the crowd and said.

"I don't want to sit." The answer came so quickly.

"Oh, okay, get fit." After hearing his words, Duan Xichen glanced at him without looking, and it was nothing.

How...... What's wrong? What do you want me to do? Do I have flowers on my face?

Thuan An Palace.

It's the first time I've come to the palace of the Nine Princes! Although the Nine Princes are the righteous sons of His Majesty, His Majesty gave the Nine Princes such a good palace, which can really be said to be second only to the Prince's Mansion. It can be seen that His Majesty also values the Nine Princes, and it can be said that he regards him as his own child.

Although I have never seen the original Shun'an Palace, it is a palace after all, and it must be extremely lively. But now the palace is really a little less angry when you look at it, but it feels a little cold and silent.

"It's unbelievable that a palatial palace is as quiet as death." Mo Yinluo couldn't help but sigh.

"The ninth brother used to like to have fun, and the Shun'an Mansion was also very lively. But because of the appearance of her little witch, the original noisy and noisy palace became as silent as water, and it was definitely not the original Shun'an Palace. "Duan Xichen really has a good relationship with the Nine Princes, and he must have been in and out of the Shun'an Mansion a lot before.

"Is all this to blame for Miss Bi?" Mo Yinluo thought that Duan Xichen was blaming Bi Wanyan.

"No, everything started from the obsession of the ninth brother, and ended up now." Is that really the case?

When I stepped into the courtyard, I saw a figure in a room not far away. He hunched over, as if he had just just gotten out of bed. His face was pale, and there was no blood, which made Mo Yinluo feel a little distressed. "Ninth Prince......" She walked away quickly with Duan Xichen, trying to catch him up as fast as possible. Gu Xia Zhen was surprised when he saw the two people coming in a hurry.

"Fourth brother, Miss Mo, why are you here?" He tried his best to get up from the bed, but was pulled by Duan Xichen.

"You're not well, don't move."

"Nine Princes, your injury ...... Are you better? She looked at his haggard face and looked at him in sympathy.

"After these days of recuperation, there is no big problem." It must be for Bi Wanyan, after all, this is the obsession in his heart, maybe it's because of her Bi Wanyan, there is Gu Xiazhen like this, but maybe because of her Bi Wanyan, the Nine Princes...... Fang woke up for her.

Thinking of this, Mo Yinluo looked around, "What about Miss Bi?" She looked around, thinking that Bi Wanyan would stay and take care of Gu Xiazhen.

"I don't know." He said, looking up at a piece of paper on the table, and said, "I didn't see her, but I saw the letter on the table, and I remembered to pick it up and saw you, and I just woke up." ”

"Letterhead?" Duan Xichen turned around and walked to the table, picked up the letter and handed it to Gu Xiazhen.

There are five eye-catching words engraved on it: The Nine Princes Personally Enlightened. Looking at Xia Zhen's big expression, as if he had guessed something, he opened it cautiously, only to see a column with clear handwriting.

Lord Nine, I know that you will wake up, and I have no intention of killing you when you say those words to me; And when I drew my sword and stabbed my heart, I understood, I already understood that the person I didn't want to hate the last thing in this world was you. Nine Princes, leaving, is the best ending I can think of. Wanyan knows that you are destined to have no chance with the Nine Princes in this life, and I am a witch that everyone rejects, if I work hand in hand with you, I am afraid that I will be criticized. With my departure this time, I hope you can let go of your obsession with me. Don't seek me, for if I see you again, I will kill you with my own hands to break the enmity of my father and mother. I hope — you and I won't have that day.

Inscribed

Bi Wanyan

The three words at the end of the paper made him stunned for a while, and between the lines there was a determination that Bi Wan had vowed to leave. Gu Xiazhen was stunned for a long time and never eased up, and at some point she gently closed her eyes, and unconsciously said something like this, "Wan'er." ”

"Miss Bi...... Is it really gone? Mo Yinluo glanced at Gu Xiazhen and then at Duan Xichen. Duan Xichen had never seen him like this, and he had never seen him since he was a child. Before this, the ninth brother liked to have fun, but he was very loyal to his duties, and he was not a greedy person, but he really made Duan Xichen embarrassed.

"Nine Princes, don't be sad."

"I wasn't sad, I just thought, why didn't she say goodbye? Why...... Don't you tell me beforehand? At the very least, I'll have to wait until I wake up. ”

"......" Mo Yinluo and Duan Xichen were silent. They knew that Bi Wanyan had a blood feud with him, and Miss Bi was determined to kill him when she entrusted her heart to him. Who knows how uncomfortable she feels. This departure is a relief for her, and it is also a relief for the Nine Princes, of course she wants to leave quietly, like this...... The slightest reluctance can be dispelled.

"Ninth brother, if there is nothing serious, we will leave." It seemed that before he could say a few words, Duan Xichen urged to leave. "Then I won't send the fourth brother." "Hmm."

Out of the gate of the Shun'an Palace, Mo Yinluo was surprised, "My lord, why are you walking so fast, we haven't said a few words to the Nine Princes!" ”

I saw a hint of embarrassment in Duan Xichen's eyes, "The more you persuade him, the deeper he falls." It's better to let the ninth brother untie the knot by himself. ”

"I see."

As she walked, Xu saw Duan Xichen glance at her a few times, as if she had thought of something, "There are a lot of things during this time, I wonder if you and I can find other clues after you and I went to Lingxi Pavilion to check for clues half a month ago?" ”

"Clues?" When she said this, she was stunned. The last time I was looking for the bloodstains left by the murderer, but then I ...... Belch...... Thinking of this, Mo Yinluo's face couldn't help but flush.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked to bring her back to her senses.

"Ah...... Yes...... Not...... It's nothing...... But when I looked for the thief's blood again, the blood broke off, and then it ...... The trail is also broken. Duan Xichen looked at her with some disbelief, "What happened to you?" As soon as he said this, Mo Yinluo felt a little weak again. When he fell from the roof before, and he also met Xiao Yan, I hope that Lord Wang's attitude towards him is obviously not very likely. Avoid causing trouble, and avoid it if you can.

"There's really nothing but ...... I met a cat and was scared. Hearing Mo Yinluo say this, this party noticed a hint of a smile on the corner of Duan Xichen's mouth. Ay? What's so funny?

"It seems that your guts will be practiced."

"This ...... How do you practice guts? Is it possible that I often find people to scare me......"

"It's not an option."

"Hey, ......"

Hirakawa.

Through the bamboo forest, although there is a village in the distance, it has become a ruin, and it has probably been abandoned for a long time. Bi Wanyan looked at the ruined village and couldn't believe it. What a happy time I spent here when I was a child, but now......

She stepped over every inch of the land, her hand gently brushing over the charred stake, and the marks appeared. A wipe, a thick layer of dust sticks to the hand. Here are her happy memories, but also painful memories.

"Daddy, do you miss Wan'er? Wan'er has come to see you. Are you going to blame Wan'er? Wan'er can't even find your corpses, and she can't find a good home for you, I'm sorry...... "The village burned out by the fire is exactly where there is no grass at all, only the bamboo forest that grows around the village. The past lingers, the scene of the father and mother being stabbed in the chest by the killer, and the memories of the blood-stained entire village linger in my heart like a cloud, and I can't forget it. "Daddy, I'm sorry, I found the enemy's bloodline, but I can't kill him. I don't know why...... I don't want him dead. Wan'er listened to Miss Mo's words and didn't kill them all, his father and mother have been punished as they deserve, you won't blame Wan'er, right......" He squatted there quietly, silent for a long time, and when he came to this village, the picture of the year unconsciously appeared in his mind. She was the only one in the village of Nuoda, and her scarlet clothes stood out among the charred piles of charcoal. Her crying echoed in the hollow bamboo valley, making people shiver when they heard it.

"Wan'er." The sophisticated and majestic voice reached Bi Wanyan's ears, and she immediately cheered up, wiped away her tears, and stood up to look at the source of the voice.

"Father-in-law? Father-in-law! But you? ”

Vaguely, a figure appeared in a corner of the bamboo forest, in a black robe, who seemed to be in his forties, but in fact he had experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes. Yan Li has always been the strict and majestic father in Bi Wanyan's mind. Since that massacre, he taught her martial arts and spells, although she was a woman, and Yanli told her not to slack off, to learn martial arts in order not to be bullied, but more to protect those who are bullied by the powerful, and then also told her about the support and intrigue of officials in the officialdom. It is for this reason that Yan Lifang chose to live in seclusion.

"But you remember what happened back then?"

"Hmm." She nodded ashamedly.

So, what should I do? If you are obsessed with the things of the past, how can you have a happy heart" He glanced at Bi Wanyan, looking deeply, deeply, and his face was very solemn. After a pause, he said, "My father-in-law hopes that you can be like other women, and you can smile all day long. Even if he is not his biological father, even if he has been strict with himself since he was a child, he has always thought about himself, after all, he was also raised by her since he was a child.

Bi Wanyan looked at the burned village and lowered her eyes. "Father-in-law...... Wan'er, I don't want to take revenge......" Yanli was shocked when she heard this, and even more suspicious, "Why?" ”

"Because Wan'er didn't want to kill him, she was even more ...... I can't kill him......" Bi Wan didn't say a few words, and Yan Li understood her thoughts. This child has no worries since she was a child, and she only talks about the slaughter of the village, and she is also bent on avenging her parents, let alone anything else that has nothing to do with revenge. If this person really made her do this, you can know that she has paid her heart for it.

He sighed, stepped forward and stroked her head, "My father-in-law never thought that your desire for revenge for several years would be shackled by the love of your children. ”

"Father-in-law......" Bi Wanyan looked at Yanli's vicissitudes of life, speechless.

He knew that his stepfather had been learning spells with his master since he was a child, and then he had cultivated the body of immortality. From the Yuan Dynasty to the present Ming Dynasty, how much has he experienced? Nobody knows. No matter how powerful the magic is, a person is a human being, and he is not an immortal, and he cannot violate the laws of nature. The so-called "immortal body" is nothing more than prolonging life. Today's stepfather will be about 150 years old. In the eyes of the world, he is either called a wizard or a demon, and who knows his hard work, nor does he know that this hundred-year body is his painstaking incarnation.

"Well, it's good that you can forget all this, my father-in-law will finally be buried in a few years, I hope you don't want to be entangled by the past again."

"My father-in-law will say these words again in the future, Wan'er must remember every word of my father-in-law, forget about hatred and accompany you, my father-in-law, and be a girl like other women."

"That'll be fine."
