Hearing Dao Yan reply that Mr. Shu did not accept this business in retreat, Zhu Di just smiled and said casually:

"It's just two Qinglou women, since Mr. Shu didn't come, he saved 500,000 taels of silver for this king."

"What do you mean?"

Dao Yan thought that Zhu Di had given up this plan, and asked questions later.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Use a knife to kill chickens, this little matter will be handled by the king." ”

"Kyoto is no better than other places, so it's better to be careful."

Dao Yan reminded again: "If we miss the blow and are caught alive, we will be exposed prematurely." ”

Zhu Di stretched out disappreciatively, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely:

"Dao Yan, you are too careful, who cares about the two Qinglou women?"

"Besides, who would have thought that a dignified Ming prince would do something to them?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Zhu Di was so confident, Dao Yan had to keep his mouth shut, but he felt a faint trace of unease in his heart.

Ying Tianfu.

Since Han Xiang was admitted to live in the Cao Guo Mansion, Zhu Yunwen felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat at any time all day long.

It can't be helped, teenage boys are addicted to that kind of thing.

Moreover, he is still facing the highest level of players like Han Xiang.

Han Xiang has a hundred ways to make Zhu Yunwen unable to extricate himself from his body.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen could only find an excuse to go to Cao Guogong's mansion to meet Han Xiang every few days to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

But after all, it is not so convenient in the Guogong Mansion, and there are many people who don't talk about it, even if he is seen by Li Jinglong's family, he himself feels embarrassed.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen could only look forward to marrying Ma Quan's daughter back to the palace as soon as possible, and then he had the opportunity to take Han Xiang into the Huai Palace.

But how can the marriage of Emperor Daming be casual, naturally the procedures are complicated, so he can only wait patiently.

Li Jinglong opened a backyard for Han Xiang in the mansion and placed a lot of maids and servants. For Han Xiang, he really didn't dare to take out the frame of being a father, because he knew that this was Zhu Yunwen's future princess, and he had to stutter a little.

Han Xiang was also a little bored staying in Cao Guogong's mansion, and the life here was completely two extremes from her previous life.

It's too quiet here, except for the maid who is a servant, even Xiao Liulang has been arranged to be an ordinary nurse in the Guogong Mansion.

So she often takes the maid to walk around in Yingtianfu, but she is no longer embarrassed to go to Longxing Restaurant, even if it is a detour to the heavenly world.

Since he chose to stand on Zhu Yunxi's side, he will inevitably break with Zhu Yunxi, which is an unavoidable fact.

Han Xiang sometimes wonders if her choice is correct, what can she do if Zhu Yunxi suddenly turns around one day?

It is estimated that when he went to Zhu Yunxi at that time, the other party was not even willing to look at him more.

But isn't this life just gambling?

And she felt that she must have made the right bet this time, in her heart, Zhu Yunxi had already won the game, and Zhu Yunxi's chance of turning the tables was zero.

Thinking of Zhu Yunxi, Han Xiang couldn't help but purse her lips and let out a chuckle in her heart:

"Little Third Master, if I have achieved a great thing, I will spare you a life, which can be regarded as repaying you for your kindness today."

At this moment, it was already dusk, and the pilgrims of Zhongling Temple had gradually dispersed, but a carriage was slowly coming in the twilight, and then Han Xiang walked out of the carriage with a little maid.

She had long heard that making a wish in Zhongling Temple was very effective, and there was also a master in the temple, who was said to be able to pinch and calculate, and was very famous in Yingtianfu.

So I went out this afternoon, but I walked around the silk shops, glass shops and other places in the city and bought some things, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until this time.

Han Xiang stretched out her arm, looked at Zhongling Temple in the twilight, and suddenly felt her eyes light up.

I saw that the entire Zhongling Temple was draped in a faint layer of gold in the reflection of the sunset, and there was a burst of wooden fish beating sound in my ears, which made people feel a trace of ethereal and calm inexplicably.

Han Xiang walked up the stairs and walked slowly into the temple, she came to the main hall, knelt down at the Great Ri Rulai, and muttered softly:

"May the Buddha bless Han Xiang to avenge his grandfather, if he can do so, Han Xiang will reshape the golden body for the Buddha and build Zhongling Temple again."

Then she respectfully kowtowed three times, took a silver ticket from the maid's hand, and donated it to the monk of Zhike.

The monk glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, and his breathing suddenly became a little short.

He saw that this female benefactor had an extraordinary bearing just now, but he didn't expect this shot to be five hundred taels of silver, and immediately folded his hands and said:

"The ethereal master is mysterious, if the female donor has a heart, she might as well ask the ethereal master to untie the knot."

Han Xiang nodded, "I've heard of the master's name for a long time, and today I'm here to meet the master." ”

Not long after, Han Xiang and the maid came to a side hall under the leadership of this knowledgeable monk.

I saw an old monk with white eyebrows sitting on a futon, chanting something silently with his eyes closed.

Han Xiang knelt in front of the Buddha statue under the guidance of the monk Zhike, picked up a bucket of bamboo sticks and shook it slowly.

With a snap, a bamboo stick jumped out.

Han Xiang picked up the bamboo stick, came to the old monk, and shouted, "Ask the master to solve your doubts." ”

The ethereal master slowly opened his eyes, took the bamboo stick and looked at it, and then carefully looked at Han Xiang for a moment before asking:

"What did the benefactor ask?"

"The little girl wants to ask the master, can her wish be fulfilled?"

The Ethereal Master was silent for a long time, but he said as if he had not asked: "The female benefactor Yin Hall is dark, and it is best not to go out and walk around at will these days. ”

Han Xiang was suddenly a little disappointed, feeling that he had met a charlatan.

She has traveled all the way in the past two years and entered countless temples, and what this old monk said is really too ordinary, no different from those monks who specialize in cheating money.

Han Xiang asked again with some unwillingness: "The master didn't answer what he asked, the little woman asked if her wish could be achieved?" ”

The ethereal master lowered his eyelids and refused to say a word more.

Han Xiang stood up with some disappointment, and when he walked out of the side hall, the voice of the old monk came from his ears: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." ”

"What a pretend!"

Han Xiang pursed her lips disdainfully, and walked out of the temple without looking back.

At this moment, the sky was already a little dark, and Han Xiang's carriage seemed a little lonely, and the sound of ticking horses' hooves was exceptionally clear in the silent night sky.

She leaned on the soft slump of the carriage a little tiredly, but in her drowsiness she suddenly heard the neighing of a horse in her ears, and then the carriage shook violently, and suddenly it split apart with a thud.

I saw a man with a black scarf dreaming face holding a long sword in his hand, looking at himself coldly.

And on top of that long sword, a trace of blood was slowly sliding down.

"Who are you?"

Han Xiang was shocked, caught a glimpse of the coachman lying in a pool of blood, and asked tremblingly.

The masked man didn't answer, but slowly raised the long sword in his hand at Han Xiang.

The little maid beside Han Xiang shouted, seeing the masked man's long sword slashing through an arc, coming with a trace of cold aura, she pounced on Han Xiang without hesitation.

Flutter!

There was a soft sound in Han Xiang's ears, and he suddenly felt a viscous liquid with a hint of warmth spraying on his body.

Immediately afterward, she was shocked to see a bright sword tip appear on the little maid's vest.

The little girl's body suddenly softened, and she fell to Han Xiang's feet with a thud.

The masked man's sword directly stabbed the little girl in the heart.

Han Xiang suddenly felt a trace of despair, and she asked in a trembling voice again:

"Who are you, could it be that Zhu Yunxi sent you?"

The masked man was stunned, and said with a strange smile: "You better go to the underworld and ask for clarification." ”

The cold light flashed, and the long sword stabbed at Han Xiang like a poisonous snake.

Han Xiang closed her eyes in despair and pain, and cried out sadly in her heart:

"That's it, I didn't expect to die before I got out of the school, Zhu Yunxi, you are so ruthless!"

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the dinging sound in her ears, but she didn't feel the pain of the long sword passing through her chest.

She hurriedly opened her eyes, only to see Xiao Liulang holding a long sword in front of her.

"Rokuro!"

Han Xiang exclaimed, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Xiao Liulang didn't pay attention to Han Xiang, just stared at the masked man in front of him vigilantly.

The masked man snorted lightly, as if he didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear, and judging from the strength of the other party's sword just now, the other party didn't seem to be a vulgar hand.

He suddenly whistled, and two figures suddenly burst out of the night and stood in a zigzag with him.

The eyes of the three of them met slightly, and they immediately rushed towards Xiao Liulang.

Flutter!

Xiao Liulang intuitively felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the long sword of a masked man had already sunk into his shoulder, and he also sent his long sword into the chest of a masked man on the other side in this lightning instant.

Before the masked man could utter a shout, he fell limply to the ground.

There was a constant fluttering sound in the air, with the occasional crisp clanging sound, as if it were just a moment before everything calmed down.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Liulang was covered in blood, lying motionless in a pool of blood, and the other three masked men were the same.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and Han Xiang looked at this terrifying scene, and finally crawled towards Xiao Liulang, who was covered in blood.

"Rokuro!"

She held Xiao Liulang's head in her arms, her eyes were full of tears, and she shouted in a trembling voice.

Xiao Liulang slowly opened his eyes, but suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, he looked at Han Xiang with some difficulty, and a miserable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss, Rokuro can't be with you anymore."

Xiao Liulang gasped and said, his voice was intermittent, but his body gradually became cold.

"Rokuro, don't die, don't die!"

Han Xiang shook Xiao Liulang's body and cried out heartbreakingly.

Xiao Liulang opened his eyes again, stretched out his hand as if he had exerted all his strength, and touched Han Xiang's face tremblingly.

Han Xiang grabbed Xiao Liulang's hand and put his face on the hand that was covered with blood.

A difficult smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Liulang's mouth, and gradually solidified, and the hand that was caressing Han Xiang's face fell down, and he died quietly in Han Xiang's arms.

"Rokuro ......"

Han Xiang threw herself on Xiao Liulang's body and cried loudly.

The scenes of the past instantly appeared in her mind, from the little boy who often followed her when she was a child, to the boy who had been silently accompanying her later, and then to the cold corpse now.

Every Mu was like a knife that pierced Han Xiang's heart, making her feel the pain of piercing her heart.

She had long known that Xiao Liulang liked her, and she liked her since she was very young.

However, she never gave him even the slightest tenderness.

Now he's dead, just touching his face at the last moment!

Han Xiang sat on the ground in a daze, until Xiao Liulang's body in her arms had become stiff and cold, she slowly stood up, and then staggered out along the mountain road.

.

When Han Xiang appeared in front of Li Jinglong covered in blood, he was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground.

The news quickly spread to the Huaiwang Mansion, and before dawn, Zhu Yunwen rushed over.

Han Xiang on the bed was pale, her eyes were a little dazed, and it wasn't until she saw Zhu Yunwen that she threw herself into Zhu Yunwen's arms.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid!"

She screamed in a trembling voice, and even her body trembled slightly.

Zhu Yunwen didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Yingtianfu at all, looking at Han Xiang with pear blossoms and rain, his brows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character.

"Do you see who those people are?"

He stared at Han Xiang and asked.

Han Xiang shook his head and said with palpitations: "Those people are masked in black scarves, and they started without saying a word. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen felt a wave of doubt in his heart, and he turned his head to Li Jinglong and shouted:

"Quickly go and find out, this king really wants to know who has the courage to do it to this king's woman."

Li Jinglong bowed and replied, "I have already sent someone to Zhongling Temple." ”

Then he looked at Han Xiang and asked, "Daughter, might as well recall, have you ever had enemies or offended people before?" ”

Han Xiang exclaimed sadly: "My daughter is an ordinary Qinglou woman, where can there be any enemies." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly showed hesitation and said softly:

"If you say that you have offended someone, it is to make the little third master unhappy after coming to Tianfu."

As soon as they heard this, Zhu Yunwen and Li Jinglong gasped at the same time, and a terrible thought jumped out of their hearts at the same time.

"Zhu Yunxi?"

Zhu Yunwen said in surprise: "This king doesn't believe that he would do such a thing anyway. ”

Li Jinglong walked a few steps in the house and said in a cold voice:

"The prince is a humble gentleman, but Zhu Yunxi is not necessarily like this, this time Han Xiang's incident made him lose face, and it is not impossible to do this kind of thing after being annoyed and angry."

Zhu Yunwen changed color and left the Cao Guogong Mansion without saying a word.

.

Early in the morning, Zhu Yunxi was sitting at the table eating breakfast, and saw Zhu Yunxi walking in angrily, followed by Liuli with a panicked face.

"Second brother, who made you so angry this early in the morning?"

Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen didn't say a word, picked up his fist and smashed it at him, shouting:

"Zhu Yunxi, I didn't expect you to do this!"

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback, hurriedly retreated, and shouted, "Zhu Yunxi, did you take the wrong medicine?" ”

Seeing this, Liuli on the side hurriedly shouted loudly.

In a moment, countless eunuchs and palace maids and palace guards ran in.

I saw Zhu Yunxi panting, pointing at Zhu Yunxi and scolding:

"Zhu Yunxi, you are really a despicable villain without a mother!"

Zhu Yunxi was still smiling, but as soon as he heard this, his face suddenly changed.

Concubine Yuan is his reverse scale, and no one in this world can easily touch it.

Without hesitation, he grabbed a porcelain bowl on the table, and the round smashed it towards the top of Zhu Yunwen's head.

A muffled sound sounded above Zhu Yunwen's head, followed by a stinging pain, and a stream of blood suddenly flowed down from the top of his head.

This scene stunned everyone, and Zhu Yunwen was dizzy when he saw it, and he sat on the ground with his ass, and then he reacted and rushed up.

It's good now, the entire side hall of the Qianqing Palace is in a mess.
