Yao'er was not at ease, so she moved a pestle and sat by the door.

Shu Xiaoen couldn't sleep either, sitting at the head of the bed wrapped in a quilt, the candles on the table crackled, and there seemed to be a giant python lurking in the dark night outside the house, moving with the wind whistling, disturbing the grass and trees outside the house.

"Really left. Yao'er looked back and saw that Shu Xiaoen hadn't slept, and said softly, "There's no movement outside...... she said for a while, and said softly, "But there is a defensive barrier outside our house, how did he get in? How did he get out?" ”

Yao'er muttered, looking at Shu Xiaoen, hoping that Miss could answer her confusion. Shu Xiaoen had no way of knowing this, the little ghoul had been separated from them at the exit of the Killing Village, and now that he had chased him here, he was a different face......

Shu Xiaoen smiled and shook his head, comforting Yao'er: "I'll know tomorrow." ”

Yao'er answered, but in her heart, she was still worried about the little baby outside. It's so cold, and I don't know if my little body can stand it.

The sky was hazy and brightened.

Yao'er waited patiently for a while, until the first rays of sunlight spilled in through the doors and windows through the blue sky, and Yao'er dared to open the door and walk out, preparing toiletries for Shu Xiaoen.

Wei Dongming got the news and immediately rushed to the mansion. The guards who followed behind searched every house in the mansion that could hide people several times, and even checked the defensive barrier, but they couldn't see where the baby came from.

The afternoon sun shone on the courtyard, and in the warm sunshine circle, Shu Xiaoen sat lazily, with a few small plates of pastries and dried fruits on the table in front of him. Sitting opposite was Yao'er, she pouted, her eyes swept left and right, sullen.

"Miss, did you say that little baby will still appear?" Yao'er was only fifteen years old, and she felt a heartfelt pity for those who were weaker than her. Out of the corner of his eye, he searched every corner of the house. Last night's little baby is really gone.

Shu Xiaoen's eyes were half-squinted, and he was warmed by the sun. Hearing Yao'er's words, he glanced sideways at Yao'er, "The city law prohibits keeping ghouls in captivity." Aren't you afraid that you will get into trouble?" Seeing Yao'er's eyes glazed, Shu Xiaoen looked away and muttered, "I don't want that little baby to appear." ”

Yao'er pursed her lips and didn't dare to say more.

She turned around and looked at the place where the baby had appeared yesterday, white and tender skin, chubby little appearance, black and white eyes, and a small red robe......

Yao'er raised her chin, facing the sunlight with a golden circle, and said in her heart: That little baby seems to have a kind of demagogic power, which makes people look at it and never forget it. I just hope that the little baby is safe and sound, and it is not in vain that they have met once.

A sound of footsteps came in from outside.

Shu Xiaoen raised his head, just in time to see the worry emerging in Qianmo's eyes, he glanced at Shu Xiaoen with deep eyes, moved away and glanced at the surrounding buildings behind her, the snow was spread on the glazed tiles, the cool air blew into the open door, there was a solemn coldness in the room, and a mother-in-law and two maids were gossiping under the eaves.

When they saw him coming, they all stood up and saluted respectfully.

Qianmo waved his hand, motioned for them to step back, and strode towards Shu Xiaoen, "Is that little ghost head that the Killing Village once met?"

Shu Xiaoen's eyes flashed slightly, thinking of the Killing Village, and inexplicably remembering the night when Bai Li Xiu escorted her to walk in the Killing Village, Shu Xiaoen's face was melancholy, and he nodded slightly, "I don't know how he followed." ”

Yao'er made a cup of tea, then retreated to the distant eaves and waited, ready to obey orders at any time.

Qianmo looked at the snacks on the table, and was silent for a while before he said aloud: "I have already sent Saiyang to investigate this matter, and I think there will be a whereabouts soon." ”

Farewell from Central Plains City, Shu Xiaoen hadn't heard the name Xiyang for a long time, and he was unfamiliar for a moment, then nodded, thinking of the deceased Xiuqing, his tone added a little sadness, "How is he now?"

Qianmo said: "When the matter is settled, I will ask him to come over to see you." ”

"Yes. Shu Xiaoen replied casually, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Has Bai Li'an found his whereabouts?" His eyes looked at the sky in the distance.

As the sun moves westward, the warm light and shadow circles begin to cool. When he looked up, he didn't expect that where the two of them were, most of the sunlight had passed, and half of it was shrouded in gray and cool.

Qianmo was silent for a moment before he came back to his senses from his distant thoughts, and said casually: "I haven't found it yet." ”

Shu Xiaoen didn't say much, just lowered his eyes, took a sip of the teacup, and covered the frustration that flashed in his eyes. Ever since Qianmo told her that Bai Li'an had spent the night with Xu Lin, she felt that Bai Li'an was already more than lucky.

He wouldn't say, and she wouldn't ask more.

The dazzling sunlight of the blue sky was instantly blocked by a cloud of white clouds, and the wind blowing around it was cool through the depths of the heart. Shu Xiaoen put down the teacup and stood up.

"It's rude, I have to go and rest for a while, I'm sleepy again. Shu Xiaoen smiled.

"Well, go ahead. Qianmo didn't get up, still sitting in the distance. When the footsteps behind him were far away, Yao'er on the side went over to talk to Shu Xiaoen, and then he raised his chin and looked back at the closed door over there.

Qianmo squinted her eyes slightly, remembering the events of that night......

"Third prince, I can't die now!" Bai Li'an knelt on the ground of the courtyard, constantly kowtowing to the man under the dark night, he couldn't see whether the man was happy or angry, but he felt that he had committed a heinous crime, and he actually faked it, which was an intolerable felony for anyone in a high position.

"Third prince, please spare my life for the sake of me when I almost stepped into the ghost gate for you. Bai Li Anyang begged, "I am willing to make a contract with the three princes, and I will never regret the birth and death of the three princes!"

Qianmo had already come to his senses from his initial anger. He lowered his gaze and looked at Bai Li'an, who was kneeling on the ground with a sad face, and there was a trace of fear in the depths of his glass-colored eyes.

Qianmo smiled: "What do I want you to do when you are born and die?"

"I can kill Bai Lixiu. Bai Li'an said softly, his eyes and face flashed with resolute light, his voice was a little hoarse, but there was a raging anger burning in the depths of his eyes, "He destroyed everything with his own hands, I am his own brother, I will kill him! As long as he dies, the soul contract between him and Gong Xunhuan will also lose its bond." Bai Li'an raised his head and looked at Qianmo without blinking, "Third Prince, killing Bai Lixiu, whether it is for the Third Prince or me, there is only benefit!"

"This can be planned. Qianmo said lightly, and recruited a few guards on the side, "Put it in the dungeon first." ”
