Xingwangfu.

The silent backyard, occasionally passing by slowly and quietly, adds a touch of mystery to it. Jiaoyue was in the sky, only Mo Ziyang's figure was shuttling in the house, his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know where to start. Today's Mo Yinluo's inference made Mo Ziyang doubt herself a little, it turned out that she was not useless, and her words at that time silently refuted Mo Ziyang's previous views on Mo Yinluo. He hesitated, but also hesitated, as if her actions today had confirmed her ability to Mo Yinluo.

"Ah...... I'm sorry to disturb you......" The sudden voice made Mo Ziyang come to his senses violently, and he didn't even notice that someone was by his side, because he was thinking too deeply. Mo Ziyang looked up, the girl in front of him was a little strange but impressed, and he vaguely remembered that it was the silk bamboo who was secretly crying in the grass hut that day.

"Silk?" He inquired.

"Well, I don't know who Childe is?"

"Mo Ziyang."

"Yes...... The son who was with Miss Mo that day! ”

He nodded, and then asked, "Miss Sizhu...... How can you be in Xingwangfu? Sizhu leaned against the garden wall, "Miss Mo is kind, seeing that I have nowhere to go, let me stay in Xingwang's Mansion for a few days, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble." ”

"Fine." She is well-read, and she doesn't look like a child of a poor family.

"Master Mo...... Do you believe in fate? Sizhu's sudden spit out made Mo Ziyang a little dazed. Life? I couldn't help but repeat the word, "Does the girl believe it?" ”

Sizhu seemed to smile a little bitterly, and a trace of sadness crossed her face, "I didn't believe in fate, but after my father and mother left me, I understood that everything was predestined by God." I'm just a bad star, my father died not long after I was born, and now my mother is ...... When I was a child, any child who played close to me would have something happen within three days. Since then, no one in my village has dared to approach me except my parents. I'm also afraid that my coming to Xingwangfu will not affect you, so I will leave tomorrow. Mo Ziyang didn't say a word, and after a long time, he walked away. Sizhu couldn't help sighing, looking at Mo Ziyang's back, feeling a little more self-blame and shame in her heart.

No matter who you are, you can avoid the evil star! Sure enough...... Still unpopular.

"You don't have to leave." An indifferent voice lingered in her ears, and she looked at Mo Ziyang in surprise, his face was full of the confidence she had longed for.

“？！”

"Whatever is to be beneficial, it must be the opposite. If...... Is it a lucky star? Mo Ziyang looked back and said, which made Sizhu begin to wonder. She may really begin to know herself, the real self.

In the endless black night sky, only the most confident star is the brightest, maybe it was born in a dark world and was buried, but if you find yourself, you will become the brightest star in the night sky.

West Garden.

Mo Yinluo sat at the table, her brows furrowed, and she held a letter in her hand, and she looked embarrassed. Looking at the rice paper placed in front of him, he suddenly lifted the brush and wanted to write, but he didn't put it down for a long time. The oil lamp on the table flickered, flickering and dimming, distraught her. Suddenly, another oil lamp in the room was lit, and suddenly a light flashed.

"Why don't you light the lights?" The person who came came slowly, Mo Yinluo was startled when he heard the sound, and when he came to his side, he was extremely surprised. "Your Highness?" Why did he come to Xiyuan......

"I'm thinking about things, so it's better to be dark."

Duan Xichen carefully looked at the letter on the table, "The letter, who sent it?" ”

She pursed her lips, "Ouyang Yue'er." ”

"How?"

"She wanted to invite me to the Lantern Festival a month later, and I was hesitant to reply."

Duan Xichen looked at her seriously, "Do you want to go?" His tone suddenly became stern.

"Li Er has always wanted a lantern, and she can't usually buy it, only during the Lantern Festival, those traders from the Western Regions will come to Jinling City to set up shops. But, Ouyang Yue'er ...... I didn't dare to take Li'er this time, she has always had a stiff relationship with me, and if I take Li'er, I'm afraid she will attack Li'er. ”

"So you're going."

"Hmm...... But I'm afraid ......" Mo Yinluo didn't finish speaking, but he heard Duan Xichen say this, "Rest assured to ......" Duan Xichen's pupils suddenly penetrated into Mo Yinluo's eyes, and whispered, "There is this king in the ......" Mo Yinluo's heart jumped suddenly, and he smiled lightly: "Okay." ”

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be protected by a big guy? It's very down-to-earth! How come I haven't encountered it in the 21st century? It's good to have a backer behind you, not to mention that you're still a prince!

"What is Your Highness looking for me?"

Duan Xichen suddenly became very serious, "The case of the destruction of the medicine village, and the case of the tragic death of Aunt Ruo...... Something strange. ”

"Ziyang has told His Highness that you have noted?"

"Hmm. Have you ever found that the murderer's method of killing this time is somewhat similar to the original case of the destruction of the four mansions? ”

"It's true that the crime is all done by the silver needle, but what does this mean?"

"The thief who stole the jade pendant smeared the silver needle with poison, and then pierced it into the Tianling Gai, killing him directly with his brain. If it weren't for the great strength that would not have been possible to pierce the silver needle into the incomparably hard Heavenly Spirit Cover, he would be able to do martial arts. And this time, the murderer pierced the human veins with a silver needle and sealed the blood, then he (she) is either a martial artist or a doctor, but if he or she can kill everyone in the medical hall at the same time and silently, then he (she) will undoubtedly be able to martial arts. ”

"Then Your Highness means that the murderer of the two times is a person all the way?"

"I don't rule it out. Throughout the ages, there have been very few people who have used silver needles to commit crimes. I think they're afraid they're doing things for a master. ”

Mo Yinluo pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, no wonder he felt that something was wrong, only to find that Duan Xichen had been standing there since he came in. "Your Highness...... You sit. She hurriedly stood up and gave him the chair.

"No, I won't stay long until it's late at night. This one is up to you. I saw him take out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, and when he looked at it, it was the phoenix-like jade pendant that was put together from the jade pieces that were available in the four mansions that day.

"It's not ...... Your Highness, didn't you hand this over to the court? ”

"My father asked me to keep it on my behalf, and the secret history of the Yuan and Ming dynasties is also with me, this jade pendant is priceless, you have to keep it for a good time." He instructed carefully.

"Why give it to me?"

"Although the scroll is gone, this jade pendant can be exchanged for several cities, and I don't feel at ease about handing over such a precious thing to others."

"Isn't Your Highness afraid that I will throw it away, or be it?"

He followed up and asked, "Will you?" ”

"No, it won't." Mo Yinluo did not hesitate in the slightest.

Duan Xichen suddenly smiled, "That's fine." The most Nai was his sudden smile at her, so gentle, so handsome. Mo Yinluo was a little stunned, as if he had fallen into his laughter, and he was almost intoxicated.

Oh my God, what's wrong with me? No wonder the women of the entire Jinling City are fascinated by it, no wonder he has so many peach blossoms, so it seems...... He Duan Xichen is indeed a beautiful man! How many girls should be obsessed with this in the 21st century? In the past, he always had an iceberg face, which made people afraid when they saw it! When did I have this inner monologue? Sober and sober!

Duan Xichen gently took Mo Yinluo's hand, put the jade pendant in her hand, and pointed the other hand at the phoenix on the jade pendant, and said, "I hope that you can become its ...... in the future" looked at her solemnly and left.

Mo Yinluo was in a trance for a few seconds, "Your Highness, this is ...... What do you mean? ”

Perhaps, it was a peaceful night.

Jinling Street.

Endless darkness shrouded Jinling City, so desolate. "It's dry, watch out for the candles!" Walking on the gray Jinling Street, I happened to pass by Yi Ming Pavilion, but saw a crack in the door. "Why didn't this door close so late?" Stepping forward, he poked his head into the crack in the door, "Hey! Anyone? Your door ......" When he opened the door, he saw a second that made him feel as frightened as if he had seen death. Yi Ming Pavilion's corpses were all over the field, the strong smell of blood came to the face, and not far away stood a woman in red, her slender jade hands stained with blood, and her eyes were shocking. The woman was covered with a light veil, but the blood-red eyes were enough to make the fight even more frightened, and he fell in fright, "Kill...... Kill...... Killed! I saw that the person in front of me did not say a word, and stepped on the house and left.

"My lord, the people from the county government came to report today, and the east street of Jinling was ...... together" Ziyang looked at Duan Xichen's face, "...... Door Destroying Case. He paused as he flipped through the folds, "Take this king with you." ”

"But my lord, there are still these folds......

"If the people are gone, how can we govern the country?"

“……”

Without saying a word, he strode out of the door, and before he had taken a few steps, he saw Mo Yinluo stop him. "My lord, where are you going?"

"Yi Ming Pavilion."

"What's going on there?"

Suddenly, Duan Xichen's gaze became sharp, "There was a murder...... Destroy the door. These words struck Mo Yinluo's heart hard. What the? I'm going too! ”

"No!"

"Why? It is my duty to investigate the case, not to mention, Ming Niang ......" Duan Xichen knew what she wanted to say and understood her feelings, but he still refused her request after all, "You are not allowed to go anywhere in Xingwangfu, the serial cases in the past few days are too dangerous." ”

"No, it won't! Ming Niang is a very good person, Yi Ming Pavilion is also a good place, I can't let Ming Niang die unjustly, I want to give her an explanation. ”

"This king will help you find the murderer."

"But ......"

"Mo Yinluo!" His brow furrowed, revealing anger, but more of concern.

This is the second time he's been so angry with me, the last time it's because of the queen, and this time...... For what?

Mo Yinluo looked at him melancholy, so clear, so sad. Duan Xichen couldn't bear to see her expression, but he had to get angry at her, so that she wouldn't follow. Because the murderer was so cruel, he was afraid that she would be in danger. Maybe Duan Xichen didn't realize that he had moved his heart for this girl, but the only thing he wanted to do was to protect her.

"But wouldn't it be more dangerous if there were no adults?" Looking at her sparkling eyes, he frowned, and raised his hand slightly to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes. He took Mo Yinluo's hand, "Let's go." ”

The surroundings of Yi Ming Pavilion are full of people, in the past, it was attracted by the fragrance of tea in Yi Ming Pavilion, but now, it is caused by a bloody storm. Mo Yinluo's steps were deep and weak, she didn't dare to approach, and she couldn't believe that Ming Niang really ...... If Sizhu saw this scene, what would she do?

Mo Yinluo walked to the door and tried to push it open, but he didn't do it. Finally, she mustered up the courage to push the door open to the corpses. Her head was dizzy from the smell of corpses, and when she stepped up, there were corpses all over her, and she didn't know where to put her feet.

The whole Yi Ming Pavilion is ...... No one survived!

"What about last night's shift?" Duan Xichen asked the Jinyi guard on the side.

"Your Excellency, here." One led a man with a panicked look.

"I ask you, what did you see last night?"

"Gift...... My lord, the little one was on the street last night as usual, and then I saw that the door of Yi Ming Pavilion was not closed and went to see, I wanted to remind me to close the door, you said that this month is dark and windy, in case of a thief, it will not be good, who expected me to push the door, in the crack of the door to see...... Seeing ......" he seemed to be frightened, and his hands and feet kept trembling.

"What do you see?"

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out such a sentence with trembling lips. "I ...... I saw corpses all over the place, and there was a female ghost in red with blood on her hands, and I was so frightened that I left in a hurry, no ...... Didn't notice anything else. I saw that he kept gasping carefully, and it seemed that he was really scared. Duan Xichen's eyes drooped, as if he was thinking about something, "Okay, you go down." He walked into the house with his steps, and when he saw Mo Yinluo who was in shock, his eyes were a little concerned, "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. She came back to her senses, "My lord, did you ask something?" ”

"He said he saw a female ghost dressed in red."

"Female ghosts?"

"Hmm. Most of it was because he was frightened at the time, and his mind thought of it out of thin air. ”

Mo Yinluo leaned down and looked at the corpses carefully, "The death of these corpses is the same as that of Aunt Ruo and the people in the medical hall, so it is still the same person's case." ”

"The point is, why did the murderer kill these innocent people?"

The puzzling serial case made Mo Yinluo's heart restless, she couldn't find the north, she didn't know what the head was, what the tail was, she didn't know which direction to start thinking, she seemed to be lost in the thick fog, and she didn't know where to go.

"My lord, I ...... A little confused. When she said this, Duan Xichen was surprised and surprised. She got up and walked away, and the moment she went out, she saw Mo Ziyang, and Mo Yinluo was suddenly afraid to see him. Mo Ziyang's cold eyes towards her seemed to be much more restrained than before, but this time her lack of confidence once again made her fall to the bottom. Mo Yinluo began to doubt her abilities, what was wrong with her? Where did all the courage and confidence go before? Obviously, he swore to Duan Xichen just now that he would definitely find the murderer and give Ming Niang and them an explanation, but now his heart is just full of seeds of despair.

Doesn't this add to their trouble?
