Although Wang Yuqian is a military attendant, his car is not luxurious.

There is no soft couch, no tea case, and no incense and other elegant things, and the car is also a low-level demon beast red jujube horse, if it is not for the body tattooed with the unique purple and gold patterns of the three major members of the court, it looks like an ordinary business car frame.

The two of them sat upright, and the interior space of the frame even seemed a little cramped.

But this is also something that can't be helped, the frame is simpler, even if the saint may not be able to see it, but at least it can show that he is very honest to a certain extent.

Without the blessing of the shock absorber, the carriage bumped all the way, and the clock dial hanging in the car finally came to the magnificent gate of Xiangguo Mansion when it was three o'clock in the hour.

Pulling the window slightly, Xu Yuan leaned out of his gaze.

Slightly unexpectedly, they weren't the first to visit.

The wide street in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion was already full of traffic, and many horse-drawn carriages were parked on both sides of the street, and the attendants and intellectuals of the Prime Minister's Mansion were constantly guiding these beast carts into the house.

Among them, there are luxuriously decorated unicorn demon horse and beast carriages, as well as format carriages tattooed with special totems for court officials, and even Xu Yuan saw the special red lines of the second-grade officials in it.

After a slight glance, Xu Yuan cast his eyes on the little old man opposite the car:

"Elder Wang, is today a special day?"

Wang Yuqian glanced at the third prince opposite with a little strange when he heard this, and then reminded in a low voice:

"The New Year is approaching, the three-year examination for officials has begun, and the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion in various places will also enter Beijing at this time, so take this opportunity to take you back to your home, and no one will notice anything abnormal."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he was stunned, and some memories also came to his heart.

In the increasingly blurred memories of childhood, when the New Year is approaching, the originally deserted home will indeed become a lot more lively inexplicably.

At the time, I just thought it was lively and fun, and I didn't think much about it, but I watched it again at this time.

It can only be said that it is no wonder that there are rumors that the prime minister does not nod his head and the decree does not come out of the Jinluan Palace.

After a cursory sweep, the frame of the carriage that came to Xiangfu Bai Pier today alone includes more than ten third- and fourth-grade officials, and these people can basically be said to be half of the court.

Although there were many frames that came to worship the door, perhaps because of the purple and gold lines on the body that belonged to the third-grade masters, Xu Yuan and they did not wait for a long time.

Soon a steward came to the frame where they were and led them down a path through the quaint side door.

Although there are many people in the palace, the thick and majestic buildings of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not noisy, and no officials and staff are noisy, and they are divided to various parts of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of the waiters.

Under the leadership of the steward, Xu Yuan and Wang Yuqian came all the way to the huge lake in the Prime Minister's Mansion unimpeded.

Looking at the pleasant wetland lake in front of him, Xu Yuan subconsciously paused.

Although winter is coming, the surface of the lake is not frozen, and the breeze blows, and the lake surface suddenly sparkles.

However, Xu Yuan was not looking at the lake, but at the attic in the center of the lake, and the woman above the attic.

It's been a long time since he woke up, but this is the first time Xu Yuan has seen Ran Qingmo in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The skin is better than snow, the black clothes are like ink, and the long hair is like washing, just like when they were separated.

There was no intersecting line of sight, she just sat quietly by the window lattice and looked at the rippling lake in a daze.

Staring at the girl's flawless side face, a sigh quietly flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.

"Wang Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"

The deacon's quiet voice interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.

Before he could speak, the deacon of the Prime Minister's Mansion glanced in the direction Xu Yuan was looking at, and then explained softly:

"That's a distinguished guest of Lord Xiangguo, even the housekeeper is not allowed to step into that side for half a step, but the fourth lady often went over there to find the girl from the Blue Rain Pavilion before."

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted that this was the deacon's kindness to him,

The other party was reminding him that although you are the son of a squire, that girl's status is more noble, and it is not something you can climb.

Xu Yuan was silent for a while, retracted his gaze, and nodded slightly:

"Wang knows."

When the words fell, the deacon smiled slightly and continued to lead the way in front, while Xu Yuan and Wang Yuqian by his side silently followed behind him.

A gust of cold wind whistled in the warm sun, sweeping the leaves off the ancient trees by the lake, and also bringing the woman in black back to her senses in the attic.

As far as his eyes could see, Ran Qingmo subconsciously swept past the three people who walked across the lake, and finally landed on the back of the young man among them, and then his dark pupils shrank slightly.

A layer of ice crystals condensed in the window lattice, and the next moment, the girl sitting in the attic suddenly disappeared.

When she reappeared, she had already come to Xu Yuan and the others.

Looking at the girl who was blocking the way, the deacon leading the way in front was slightly stunned, and then immediately bowed:

"The girl is coming, do you have anything to order?"

“.”

Ran Qingmo ignored the deacon's words, and his gaze fell straight on the young man among the three.

“.”

Eyes intertwined in the air.

Xu Yuan reacted quickly, his eyes showed a hint of doubt, but his heart accelerated slightly.

He didn't know why Ran Qingmo suddenly stopped in front of him, looking at the girl in front of him, a trace of worry rose in his heart, but he also had some inexplicable expectations.

But soon,

His worries and expectations vanished.

He saw a visible sense of loss in her beautiful eyes.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

That dad really didn't lie to him, no one could break under this human skin mask saint.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan replied softly in an elegant gentleman's voice:

"Oh? Wang is similar to the girl's deceased? ”

Ran Qingmo stared at Xu Yuan's face for a few breaths, and shook his head slightly:

"It's just the back."

When the words fell, Xu Yuan wanted to say something to Da Bingtuozi again, but Ran Qingmo was already lost and lowered his head, and silently turned around and walked towards the attic in the middle of the lake alone.

“.”

Looking at the departing Xiao Suo Qianying, Xu Yuan unconsciously pursed the corners of his lips.

Because of the original transaction with the national teacher, he asked the father to compile an exquisite information cocoon for Da Bingtuozi.

No one in the Prime Minister's Mansion was to mention his death.

And Da Bingtuozi's temperament of cultivating all the time will not go out to the Xiangfu casually.

Therefore, even though it has been half a month since the news of his death broke, Da Bingtuozi still has no idea about it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan clenched his fists slightly.

It's just that looking at her sitting by the window in a daze today, I think I should have some suspicions.

After all

She once told him that she wasn't stupid
