cause
Sima Lanting didn't ask about it again: "I'm here because of other things." ”
Sai Wuqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What can make you come here in the middle of the night?" ”
In the middle of the night.
The sun hasn't completely set yet, and the farmers who are working are still working.
How did it get here, it became the middle of the night.
When Bai Zhou was still thinking about whether he should go out, Sima Lanting asked him, "Do you remember the first time we met?" ”
Bai Zhou nodded, his face flushed slightly, remembering the embarrassment of meeting for the first time.
"Don't be nervous." Sima Lanting said softly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that your sister's death is very involved, and there are still a little doubts." ”
Bai Zhou motioned for him to continue.
"Who the hell did they go to?"
Although he was ready to say this before, now when he asked once, Bai Zhou was still inevitably nervous, and he didn't want to talk about it very much.
Sima Lanting said: "Now that you are a member of the Water Shadow Pavilion, you are also responsible for letting us know about this matter." ”
His hesitation made Sima Lanting continue, "You also know the nature of our Water Shadow Pavilion. Now that you've joined, it means that you also have a mission. ”
How did you become our Water Shadow Pavilion, you're not.
The sacrificial dancer glanced at him.
Sima Lanting: "So you have to tell us, so that we can find out the potential danger first, and then ......"
Bai Zhou: "They're going to find the Five Princes." ”
Sima Lanting: "That's right, you have to tell us about this, what?" What does it mean to go to the Five Princes? Isn't he in the capital? ”
Sima Lanting flickered and heard this answer.
"Yes." Bai Zhou looked back at him, thought that this was impolite again, and then looked away.
The five princes left the capital after being crowned the king of Xiaoyao, and the emperor's order was in his body, and he could not enter the capital before the time came.
How could it be to see the five princes.
"How do you know?" Sima Lanting was visibly disbelieving.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
Bai Zhou said slowly: "I accidentally saw it that day. ”
I saw it by accident.
Bai Zhou was wondering why such things were always himself.
Sima Lanting asked, "Then where did you see it, and when?" ”
I don't know what he's excited about.
Bai Zhou said: "I don't remember the time, it was probably when Princess Zheng came, I saw it in Yixiang Courtyard." ”
Yixiang-in.
It's a good place. It's really safe to meet there.
Bai Zhou was a little nervous after finishing speaking, the place in Yixiangyuan was not something he could go to, so he hoped that they wouldn't ask too much.
If you talk too much, you're always worried about saying something wrong.
Seeing that both of them didn't react to their going to Yixiang Courtyard, they calmed down.
Sima Lanting thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Then why did you go to Yixiangyuan?" ”
After speaking, he stared at him with scrutinizing eyes.
As soon as this sentence came out, Bai Zhou felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing back, and the summer day in May was like being in an ice cave, and his exposed hands were cold and purple.
He forced his spirits to reply, "Because ......"
"The prince's questions are a bit too much." The sacrificial dance interrupted him.
I have been doing other things in my hands, and I still observed the abnormal appearance of Bai Zhou next to me.
Bai Zhou was saved by the sacrificial dance.
He exhaled quietly and slowly, casting a grateful glance at the sacrificial dance.
The sacrificial dance was only focused on the things at hand, and did not look at him.
Even so, Bai Zhou still wrote down the help of the sacrifice dance.
Sima Lanting heard that the sacrificial dance was like this, so it was not easy to ask more.
It's just a matter of the five princes.
Since it was when Princess Zheng got married, even if she went to find someone now, she wouldn't be in the capital.
It's a bit of a pity.
Sima Lanting asked again: "What about Bai Yi's corpse?" ”
Listening to Sima Lanting's questions, the sacrificial dance made others sad to hear them, and said, "After this matter is over, don't ask again." ”
Sima Lanting: "How can this matter be said to be over, you see that there are not only three princes and the king of Xiaoyao." Is it reasonable? ”
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Sima Lanting's head, and King Xiaoyao and the Eighth Prince said that they looked the most alike.
Will you see the Eighth Prince?
Neither of them is in the capital, they are still in the same place.
If the Eighth Prince appeared in the capital, no one would know about it.
So, is the person Bai Zhou saw actually the Eighth Prince?
Sima Lanting wanted to ask again, but he didn't dare to ask again when he came into contact with the eyes of the sacrificial dance.
Being a prince has become like this, a little aggrieved, sure enough, beauty hurts me not shallowly.
"The emperor has said that this matter is all, what else does the prince want?"
All right.
The sacrificial dance is rushing people: "It's not too early, so the prince will go back and rest early." ”
Sima Lanting asked, "The master of the sacrificial pavilion won't send it?" ”
After thinking about it, the festival got up and sent it to the door.
When Sima Lanting was leaving, he leaned over and asked in the ear of the sacrificial dance: "Sacrificial dance, what do you want to do?" ”
The voice was very small and soft, and the dance was heard clearly this time. Her name was called twice, this time so clearly.
There was no eye fluctuation in the sacrificial dance, as if she was calling her, she asked lightly: "I don't know what the prince is saying in my ear?" Who is the sacrificial dance? ”
Crashing into innocent and incomprehensible eyes, Sima Lanting didn't get the answer he wanted, although it was expected, he was still a little disappointed.
He smiled and said, "It's my old friend." ”
The sacrificial dance thought to herself: I really kicked my nose in the face, if it weren't for me or myself, I would really be deceived by this appearance.
The sacrificial dance just smiled.
After the others left, they put away their abnormal smiles.
Arlinn watches this process from the side, a little alarmed.
The pavilion master has become different again, he used to be expressionless, but now he can smile at people.
Alas.
Arlinn sighs apprehensively.
The sacrificial dance captured her sigh and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there trouble with what Qingqi is doing? ”
After being reminded of this by the sacrificial dance, Arlinn remembers Qingqi's story, which Qingqi had said not to talk to about the sacrificial dance, but still has to say it when he thinks about it. It's just experienced such a thing.,If you don't talk about the sacrificial dance again.,If you're found out again, you don't know if there's such good luck.。
Arlinn thinks for a moment about how to talk to the priest before she speaks slowly, "Pavilion Master, I have something to tell you. ”
"Qingqi didn't tell you not to tell me about this matter." The sacrificial dance turned and went back.
Arlinn's eyes widen as she follows the dance.
I forgot what I wanted to say because of this sentence.
"If he tells you not to say it, don't say it." The sacrificial dance is very empathetic.
Qingqi is a measured person, and there is a reason for Arlinn not to tell him, even if he doesn't know.
The sun had gone down completely.
The summer days in May are not so hot, and the evening breeze blows with a warm breath, and it is a peaceful night.
In front of the door of the Water Shadow Pavilion are two people who trust each other, and although they have some words that they don't say, they still know each other's intentions. It is in front of this door that leaves the purest friendship.
The leaves were rustling in the wind, as if applauding their growth.
......
Early the next morning, the sacrificial dance called Bai Zhou and Xu Wu.
The busyness of this time made the sacrificial dance almost forget that there was no such person as Xu Wu.
It was originally something that could have been completed yesterday, but because of Sima Lanting's arrival, it has been delayed until now.
The festival dance is a little full.
Letting Xu Wu and Bai Zhou go to see the imperial examination selection together was also a matter of sacrificial dance for a long time, at first he just planned to let Bai Zhou go, and it was only later that he remembered that there was still Xu Wu, and the people in the Medicine God Valley should still be useful, so let him go with Bai Zhou.
The matter of this imperial examination has been planned for a long time, because of natural disasters, it has been postponed from last year to now. That's why it's taken seriously.
It is also required that the Water Shadow Pavilion must send someone to supervise it.
Everyone can also see that this is the emperor's intentional cultivation of the Water Shadow Pavilion.
The emperor meant that he hoped that he could go to the festival in person, but unfortunately he felt that it was a little unfair that only men could participate, so he was not very happy to go. I couldn't just send two people there, so I just threw this stall to Bai Zhou.
If Bai Zhou did not do well at that time, there would still be Xu Wu to help him, and there would be no major problems.
After Bai Zhou and Xu Wu left, the sacrificial dancer led Arlinn into the palace.
"I won't tell the emperor about you." The sacrificial dance suddenly sounded.
Arlinn nods gloomily and says, "I know." I ...... before"
Before he finished speaking, he met Sima Lanting.
Sima Lanting, who was standing not far away, was talking to Gonggong Liu without knowing what to say. Didn't notice the festival and Arlinn.
Dancing also sees someone, and she says to Arlinn, "Let's go, let's go the other way." Arlinn knew she didn't really want to meet Sima Lanting, so she silently followed her.
Is this stable king on a good relationship with the pavilion master?
Arlinn lowers her eyes and looks at the road earnestly.
Looking at the people who walked in front of him as he walked, Sai Wuqing frowned: "Look at the road, this is in the palace." ”
Arlinn stops when she hears her, and is about to crash into a tree. Suddenly stopped, so inertia leaned forward, and fell down like this.
Sai Wuqing looked at her and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
Arlinn herself feels a little ashamed, and immediately gets up, pats the dust off her body, and replies to her, "It's nothing. ”
Seeing that it was in the palace, it was not good to say much about the sacrifice. Just let her be careful.
Arlinn nods.
She hadn't gone far when she heard someone calling her.
"Hey, the masked guy over there, wait a minute!" The fifteenth prince shouted as he ran over.
The dance stopped.
Sima Yanzhao came over panting, and before they could come to their senses, they began to lecture them: "Why, don't you have to salute when you see this prince?" ”
The Queen Mother said that whoever sees herself needs to bow, and if he does not salute, he will be punished!
Poor little prince, obedient only half listened, and there was another half that was not remembered.
The sacrificial dancer smiled and saluted in a proper manner.
Sima Yanzhao waved his hand as an adult who didn't remember the villain's mistakes: "It's pretty much the same." ”
The palace people behind him hurried over.
The people around him said to him, "Your Highness, you can't run around in the palace." If this is seen by the queen's mother, it will be punished. ”
Although Sima Yanzhao is the fifteenth prince, he has also reached the age when he should learn the rules, and there will be people chasing after him all day long to tell him what to do and what not to do in the palace, this is originally the queen's duty, but the queen is busy during this time and has no time to discipline. And there's a little princess.
didn't give birth to herself, in order not to leave unnecessary tongues, plus she has no biological mother, in such a palace, she has to take her all the time.
Sima Yanzhao is also a spoiled character, and he always brings a lot of trouble to the people around him.
Sai Wuqing squatted down and asked, "Is there something wrong with Your Highness?" ”
Sima Yanzhao finally saw a person come into the palace, just to stop, as for what to stop and do, he hadn't thought about what to do.
Seeing him look distressed, he knew that he said softly, "Does Your Highness want me to play with you?" ”
After such a reminder of the sacrificial dance, he really remembered that he lacked someone to play with.
So I pretended to be as white as you were, and tilted my head up, wanting to look down on her.
Sai Wuqing smiled and asked, "Then will I leave this girl behind me to play with you?" I'm in trouble right now. ”
Sima Yanzhao was not happy when he heard it, and there was something wrong, why every time he made someone to play with him, they were all in trouble. Sima Yanzhao said angrily: "If you lie to people, you have to be if you don't want to play with me!" ”
After saying that, he cried.
There is no way to sacrifice the dance, and I look at it coldly.
I thought to myself, why do children like to cry so much, and what is there to cry.
I remember that when I was young, I was not allowed to cry, and if I did......
Matsumi smiled self-deprecatingly.
Just when everyone was coaxing the little prince, an abrupt voice came.
"What's wrong? Fifteenth brother, you are looking for someone to accompany you again. ”
Sima Lanting had a tone that was very familiar with his combat methods.
As soon as Sima Yanzhao saw him, he stopped crying.
This power is really extraordinary.
He shouted obediently, and then left with lightning speed.
Sima Lanting ignored him after glancing at him, and then looked at the person squatting on the ground and asked, "This king thinks that his temper is too good." ”
The sacrificial dance confessed his meaning and stood up. Before any other action could be started, it was stopped.
"Excuse me, this king is just joking, why should the pavilion master be so serious."
It should not be advisable to go out today.
Looking at the smiling person in front of him, Sai Wu asked coldly: "I don't know what is the matter with the prince?" ”
"It's okay, I just saw the priest pavilion master while walking in this palace, and I just wanted to come over and say hello." After speaking, he paused: "Why did the pavilion master just see me and walk over directly?" ”
I didn't expect to be seen.
The sacrificial dance said indifferently: "Didn't the prince just talk to Gonggong Liu?" So don't want to bother you. ”
"That's okay." Sima Lanting smiled and continued, "Then where is the pavilion master going?" We can pass. ”
Peer?
Hearing this, Sai Wuqing felt that his head was too big. Originally, one Sima Yanzhao was enough, and now there is another one.
"We're not on the way." The sacrificial dance looks like he doesn't want to say more.
Sima Lanting reminded her: "The emperor is with Concubine De." ”
Concubine De?
Isn't she the biological mother of the third prince? At this time, the sacrificial dance was completely unable to go to Sima Yu.
I just pulled someone else's son off the horse, and if I go to see it now, I will be embarrassed. The sacrificial dance can only take Arlinn out of the palace.
But Gonggong Liu was still on the side, he watched the interaction between the two, thoughtfully, shook his head, and nodded again.
......
Back at the Water Shadow Pavilion, Xu Wu and Bai Zhou also returned. The two said that everything was going well, and the sacrificial dance nodded reassuringly.
It happened half a month later.
He was busy with something else that day when he heard Arlinn's hurried footsteps.
"The Pavilion Master is not good."
Xu Wu was on the edge of the festival when he heard Arlinn say this, and quipped, "Isn't it good to be the Pavilion Master?" Why are you little girl so ignorant and shouting. ”
Xu Wu has been here for a long time, and he has no feeling for Arlinn's identity, but he quickly becomes familiar with Arlinn, and also understands the nature of the sacrificial dance.
Speaking has also changed from gentle and detached at the beginning to gentle and casual.
Arlinn glared at him, "You didn't mess with Bai Zhou,"
Xu Wu looked at her innocently.
"Speak well." The dance stops a boring conversation that is about to take place.
Arlinn stops, "It's still the day they were looking at the imperial examination, and it was postponed before they needed to send more people, but they were too serious. ”
"How?" Sai Wuqing asked.
Arlinn says angrily, "Today I went out and saw that the top student list came out, so I went to look at it, and it didn't take long for someone to rush out, and he said that he was the top student in this year's scientific examination." Originally, everyone didn't believe it, but he said the names of the invigilators, and he also said how the champion hooked up with the invigilators. How to get the rolls. ”
Xu Wu interrupted her: "Wait a minute, according to what you say, that person's words are too, who will believe it?" ”
"Yes, I also think this matter is too, but some people believe it, and slowly from the beginning, everyone thinks that this person is talking nonsense, and wants to go crazy to get fame, and then slowly more people believe in him, so everyone moves more people one after another. Now they are all gathered at the gate of Miyagi, wanting to ask for an explanation. Arlinn takes a sip of water.
Sai Wuqing said slowly: "Even if this is the case, it has nothing to do with our Water Shadow Pavilion. We're just going through the motions, right, Xu Wu. ”
Xu Wu nodded and said softly: "Since this matter has nothing to do with us, don't think about it." ”
Arlinn is discouraged. I said I got it.
