Lin Yanxi hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Zhuang Yuanlang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Actually, in fact, the maidservants who called me to the side hall did not indicate that they were the prince's people, but I have liked the smell of incense since I was a child, and I have been quite researched, the side hall has been abandoned for a long time, and I did not smoke incense when I went in, except for the fragrance of the woman on the bed, and the smell of men's sweat, there was also a faint fragrance of cloud wood."

"This spice is very valuable, and ordinary rich people can't afford to use it. Occasionally, when I talked about the art of making incense at the imperial historian, I learned that the prince was the most particular about food and clothing, whether it was his court clothes or private clothes, they were carefully smoked with this special incense, and because the prince loved this kind of incense, there was a nickname in the folk called Prince Xiang."

"Later, when I was seen in front of the temple, I paid special attention to the scent of smoke on his body, which was exactly the same as that day in the side hall."

Lin Yanxi has always suspected that the prince did it, but unfortunately there is no evidence after checking for a long time, if according to what Zhuang Yuanlang said, before he went to the side hall, the prince had already appeared in the side hall.

With a solemn expression, he looked at the Dark Night Division more than ten meters away, and sneered, "Will you believe me? The truth of a royal family like you is only what you want to believe."

Lin Yanxi took a few steps forward to appease him, but when Yuan Lang saw that Lin Yanxi was about to touch his sleeve, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes.

She stood there looking at him a little embarrassed, looking a little helpless and aggrieved.

Zhuang Yuanlang's heart softened, and he couldn't see the innocent appearance of the little girl, and explained: "Second Miss, do you know that Lord Yushi originally took a fancy to me as a son-in-law, but on the day I entered the Dark Night Division, Lord Yushi divorced overnight and gave his daughter another person to her.

"My father and mother had a heart attack because of my imprisonment, and they were pointed at in the village."

Just because of the prince's selfish desires, innocent people suffered, Lin Yanxi said, "I'm sorry."

Zhuang Yuanlang shook his head and said, "It's not you who hurt me, you don't need to apologize."

Shen Muzhou had seen too many things like this, perhaps he couldn't bear to see the little girl blame herself, so he proposed: "If you are in need, I can move your official position out of the capital to avoid the persecution of the prince, and compensate you with ten thousand taels of gold, you can use this silver to take your father and mother to take care of you and start over."

Zhuang Yuanlang was stunned for a moment, this is indeed a good arrangement, he slowly showed a smile, and solemnly saluted: "Thank you Ninth Prince, Miss Lin Er for your kindness."

He relented, but said firmly, "But I'm going to stay here."

Only by staying here can he hope to bring down the person he wants to overthrow, and if he goes somewhere else, he will always be a person who is instructed and cannot hold his head up.

After saying that, he saluted, and turned away, his sleeves flowing in an arc in the wind, just like him, fluttering in the whirlpool.

"Little Champion."

A crisp voice stopped him.

He paused, Lin Yanxi stood there and rubbed the corners of her skirt, seeing him look back, she looked down at herself, she didn't bring anything to prove her identity, and turned to look at Shen Muzhou, who had a royal token pinned to his waist.

Lin Yanxi smiled at him with bad intentions, and shouted coquettishly: "Nine Princes~"

She reached out her little paw and reached for his waist, his back straightened, and he swallowed his throat, "You, you......"

The next moment she pulled out the token from his waist and shook it in her ear, revealing a rare flattering smile.

Shen Muzhou immediately understood what she meant and nodded.

The little girl was approved, and ran over with joyful steps, put the token in the palm of Zhuang Yuanlang's hand, and said, "This is the token of the palace, if you need any help, you can go to the palace to find me."

"If you encounter danger, you can directly use the token to go to the Night Division, be careful."

Zhuang Yuanlang stared at the little girl in front of him, and then looked at Shen Muzhou, he stood not far away with a calm face, looking at the back of this little girl with love in his eyes.

He accepted the token and said, "Thank you, Second Miss Lin."

---

Wang fu.

"Lord Wang, the jade talisman has been recovered." Xiao Liu said, "But...... The jade talisman is now in the hands of the crown prince."

Shen Muzhou's eyes were full of anger, looking at Xiao Liu, his eyes were pressed and his face was gloomy.

Xiao Liu knelt on one knee, held the sword in his hand and said, "The prince is angry, our people brought the jade talisman back to the capital, and encountered an ambush on the way, the jade talisman was robbed, and the Dark Night Division has found out that it was the prince's people, and the prince brought the jade talisman into the Taifu's mansion."

Shen Muzhou asked, "Where is it in the Taifu Mansion?"

Yesterday, he entered the palace and asked about the jade talisman, and he promised to bring the jade talisman to the saint within three days, otherwise he would take the initiative to go to prison.

Xiao Liu frowned and said, "Our people didn't enter the Taifu Mansion."

Shen Muzhou slapped his palm on the desk and asked, "Taifu Mansion is not an impregnable wall, what can't you enter?"

Xiao Liu said: "Since the second lady moved into the palace, the Taifu secretly changed a large number of guards in the palace, and our people were withdrawn."

Shen Muzhou's long sleeves brushed the table, and the things on the desk were swept to the ground, and he didn't speak for a long time.

It seems that the prince played this move very far, and when Lin Yanxi left the house, he made up his mind.

Xiao Liu boldly proposed, "Lord Wang, there is another way."

"Say."

He was a little puzzled: "Second Miss may be able to help."

The people of the Dark Night Division can't get in, can the second lady still get in when she goes back to her mansion, Xiaoliu knelt there, waiting for the prince's answer.

Shen Muzhou's bony fingers supported his forehead, he knew how deep Lin Yanxi's feelings for Taifu Mansion were, and he didn't want her to get involved.

"You go out first."

Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "Lord Wang! The second lady will not go back to the Taifu Mansion today to get back the jade talisman, but I am afraid that the jade talisman will be difficult to find."

Shen Muzhou's fingertips stroked back and forth on his forehead twice, repeating, "You go down first."

He has always been forbearant when encountering things, and his face is rarely gloomy like this, Xiao Liu didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to turn around and walk out.

Lin Yanxi hadn't seen Shen Muzhou since he came back from the palace yesterday, and at this time, the three of them chattered together, and laughed for a while, completely lacking the gentleness and restraint of the nobles of the capital.

His courtyard was only separated by a wall from the Yueluo Pavilion, he stood in the main courtyard, and when he heard the sound of laughter from time to time, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and his originally depressed mood was much better.

Xiao Liu was also in the courtyard, standing silently behind the prince, since the young lady of the Lin family came, there was finally some laughter in the palace, and the prince was no longer as indifferent and alienated as usual, as if everything was developing for the better.

Only the prince's body is even worse than expected.

Shen Muzhou stood under the wall, coughed a few times, and then propped up the wall, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat and spit on the ground.

The blood falling on the blue and white stone turned particularly dazzling.

"Lord Wang." Xiao Liu went to hold Shen Muzhou's arm.

He said weakly, "Go and give me the pill of the afterlife."

Xiao Liu's eyes were red, this was the first time he resisted the order and said, "Think twice, the Death Pill will only harm the prince."

The Pill is a kind of evil medicine, which can make the dying person like a return to the light, the body is strong and powerful, and the complexion is ruddy, but in fact, the Pill will only make people dependent, even if the disease on the body is really cured, the toxicity of the Pill will also seep into the body.

Shen Muzhou knew that Xiao Liu had followed him for many years, and he couldn't bear to see him in such a situation.

"Go ahead." He said to Xiao Liu with a rare temper.

Xiao Liu had no choice but to take out a wooden box from the house. Inside the box lay a small black ball.

Shen Muzhou took the balls and looked at them and ate them.

After eating the balls, his coughing gradually stopped.

"Shen Muzhou, hehe, the Nine Princes~" The little girl walked from outside the courtyard with a sweet voice.

She tilted her head and asked him, "Why are you in the yard?"

」

Shen Muzhou's face changed slightly, and he blocked the blood stains on the ground behind him and said, "Well, come out and blow the wind."

The little girl looked at him nervously and said, "You are not in good health now, although the summer wind is warm, it is also cold."

His pale complexion gradually turned a hint of ruddy, and he said loudly, "I'm much better now."

As he spoke, he walked up to her and asked, "What's the matter with me?"

Lin Yanxi looked at him and seemed to be much better, not as pale and weak as before, she smiled sweetly, "Go, go to my yard, I'll tell you."

He nodded, naturally held her hand, and walked outside the courtyard, she thought of what he said to Luo Jingxin in the palace today, her little hand shrunk, and he grabbed it firmly.

However, she was pleasantly surprised to find that his hands didn't seem to be so cold, and he didn't struggle anymore, and was obediently led by him.

The little girl's bright and delicate dress was particularly cheerful and conspicuous in the dark gray main tone of the house, followed by a man dressed in dark color, the man was tall and straight, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his face was full of smiles when he looked at the woman.

As soon as I stepped into the Moonset Pavilion, the aroma of food wafted in.

The chestnuts and sugar fried squatted on the ground, and a small mound was propped up, and the fire under the mound was boiling hot, and when they saw that the prince was coming, they quickly got up from the ground, still holding branches in their hands.

"I've seen the prince."

The two saluted together.

Xiao Liu saw that their faces were blackened by smoke, and secretly smiled.

Sugar fried asked unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Liu pointed to her face, Chestnut quickly wiped the dirt on her face, and she asked Xiao Liu, "Is there anything else?"

He looked a little stunned, shook his head stupidly, and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lin Yanxi pulled Shen Muzhou and pointed to the small mound on the ground and said, "It's almost ready."

After speaking, she pulled Shen Muzhou to squat, guarding the small mound and watching with a blank eye, the roast chicken was covered with a layer of lotus leaves, and the fragrance of the lotus leaves was mixed with the aroma of the roast chicken, which was very attractive.

"Why do you think of making roast chicken?" He asked.

Lin Yanxi said, "It's not that the chef in your house makes the dishes that are too unpalatable."

Is it unpalatable? He believes that eating is just a matter of satisfying the stomach, not satisfying the appetite of the tongue.

However, the people he uses in his house, especially the cooks, the first thing to choose is to pick the ones who know the root and are loyal, and the cooking skills are second, maybe the skills are worse.

And she said, "But I do have one thing to ask for."

Shen Muzhou looked at her with doting in his eyes, and waited quietly for her to continue.

"I want you to teach me some martial arts, you know, my talismans still fail occasionally, the master has taught me a lot in the past few days, and I have improved a lot, but since the prison, I am still afraid that if I can't use it when I meet a spell master, I can still have martial arts."

Others don't know, Xiao Liu knows, how can the prince still use force with his physical condition.

He hurriedly said, "Miss, let me teach you, my martial arts are taught by the prince."

Lin Yanxi frowned and looked at him, turned his head, and said with a little temper, "I don't want it, I want him to teach."

"Lord Wang, don't you want to teach me martial arts?"
