"Dead! How did he die? When did you die? ”

Xia Jingyan felt that this matter was strange and unprovoked, to be able to learn the secret technique of Dulong Pavilion so seriously, it must be the people of Dulong Pavilion, according to ordinary people to rest and practice this kind of secret technique, it will take five years to say the least, and those few people, their methods are not skilled, it means that they have just entered Dulong Pavilion within five years, and they have not yet learned well, so they were bribed to assassinate themselves in the name of Dulong Pavilion, but according to what this elder said, since there are exactly five true disciples who have been accepted in, only one is left in the end, It stands to reason that the assassination of Xia Jingyan should be the other four, but how could he die?

"Back to the queen's mother, just a month ago, they suddenly died violently without knowing what poison they had eaten, and I don't know what happened."

"Poisoned? Are you sure it was your four apprentices who died? Zhao Jichen asked suddenly.

The elders' answers confirmed Zhao Jichen's thoughts even more, "Back to Lord Zhao Ling's words, I didn't doubt it at the beginning, but now...... Not necessarily. ”

"Why do you say that?" Xia Jingyan asked, but she already had a conjecture.

"My apprentices have special tokens made by several of our elders, when a few apprentices died violently, when a few of us rushed over, their whole bodies were almost rotten, what kind of faces looked, almost people couldn't tell the difference, we also relied on the clothes and tokens they wore to think that they were our four apprentices, but now that I think about it, I really can't be sure, after all, things are dead, people are alive......"

Xia Jingyan and Zhao Jichen looked at each other speechlessly, but they already understood what the other party meant, and the matter was already obvious.

"Okay, this palace knows, but it is inevitable that the grass will startle the snake, so please live in the palace for a while, and when the truth is revealed, this palace will naturally let you out." Xia Jingyan waved his hand, and a few people from Dulong Pavilion naturally didn't dare to disobey, and walked out with the makeup who came to lead the way.

There are only Xia Jingyan and Zhao Jichen left in the hall, so there is no need to shy away from speaking.

"Brother Hechen, this is obvious, it seems that there is still a haze in the palace that we can't see this week." Xia Jingyan coughed and said.

Zhao Jichen patted Xia Jingyan on the back and responded as usual, "Don't worry, I will give you justice." ”

"And what do you have in mind? Or rather, who do you think it will be? ”

"I recently investigated, coupled with my previous understanding of the people in the Zhou Palace, it will only be people who can contact the harem, and it has nothing to do with the government affairs of the previous dynasty, Dye Hao must not say, Ah Yun doesn't have that mind, Miss Yun Wan is simple-minded, and she won't, and the clan relatives who dye Miao, can't contact Dulong Pavilion at all, and the rest are only Nan Zhaoyi and King Yu, Yan'er, to be honest, I don't see Nan Xiang very well, so even if she entered Tianzhu Pavilion, I didn't dare to use her, and Shu Yuanyu, he is not a good person to get along with, and he is temporarily suspicious, You have to be careful. ”

"That's a natural ......" Xia Jingyan was stunned, and sure enough, there was still Shu Yuanyu.

"Yan'er, what do you think?" Zhao Jichen asked casually.

"What if I think it's Shu Yuanyu?"

Zhao Jichen's hand suddenly stopped.

Originally, I didn't expect to have an answer, Xia Jingyan lived in the palace for a long time, and it was troublesome to deal with Zhou Ranhao, plus after Gu Zheng passed away, he had to be a regent while protecting the child, I thought that Xia Jingyan had no time to take care of the people in the palace, and it was true, but even Xia Jingyan was aware of such malice.

"Yes." Zhao Jichen didn't show much surprise, and his stopped hand quickly returned to its previous past, but he still planned it in his heart, not wanting Xia Jingyan to worry, "Okay, I'll check him." ”

"Brother Jichen, I have one more thing."

"What's wrong?"

"I've recently ...... I can always see Dye Mi seeing someone in secret, and every time he sees it, he will always be inexplicable...... Sad? He always came to hug me, I didn't want to let go of anything, I would cry when I slept at night, I didn't stab him about the man he had seen, just ask him why he was crying, he didn't say anything, I always felt weird......"

"Really? There is such a thing...... "Zhao Jichen straightened up.

In fact, in this Zhou State, no unknown danger can compare to Zhou Ranmao's movements, because he is the emperor, and he is the direction of the Zhou State.

"I don't know, but I always feel like ...... This is not a trivial matter, in this way, let's not startle the snake, and Brother Chen, you first ask Cheng Cheng to investigate the matter of Dulong Pavilion on your behalf, and you will quietly go back to Mingxia. ”

Zhao Jichen nodded, "Are you looking for Your Majesty's help?" ”

"Nope." Xia Jingyan refused, which made Zhao Jichen very surprised, "I don't want my brothers to worry about me, don't let them know when you go back, and secretly go to find a person named Lu Yunyan, he is now the head of the household in Ming Xia, I promoted him, I can trust it." ”

Zhao Jichen was stunned, Xia Jingyan has a lot of eyes and ears! And...... The name Lu Yunyan is a bit familiar! It seems to be a jade-faced little student! Famous for its beauty! was shallow and jealous, but he could only respond with a good sentence.

After the words were finished, Xia Jingyan was ready to leave, but the sky was not beautiful! It's actually raining!

"It's been raining lately, really." Xia Jingyan said a little boredly, but although she was unhappy, Zhao Jichen was very happy.

It's raining, Xia Jingyan can't leave! Zhao Jichen rubbed his hands, excited like a concubine who had not been favored by the emperor for a long time, and now he was looking forward to the emperor coming, which just happened, and it also made Xia Jingyan forget the Lu Yun he just mentioned!

"Yan'er, since it's raining, you must not be able to walk, and we haven't sat together like this for a long time to talk, actually, it's fine, right?" Zhao Jichen said softly.

Xia Jingyan naturally wouldn't refuse, nodded, and chattered.

Righteous thoughts, suddenly ran into a small house in the hall, Zhao Jichen lifted the corner of the warm tent to see, it was the boy running errands in Tianzhu Pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jichen asked.

"In reply to the Lord's words, it was the Second Elder who wrote a letter to you." The boy stepped back before handing in the letter.

The second elder is the old man of Tianzhu Pavilion, according to the generation, Zhao Jichen should call him an uncle, he used to be an old friend of Zhao Jichen's father, and he had no heirs, so he regarded Zhao Jichen as his own child, and often wrote letters, Xia Jingyan was not surprised.

"But urge Brother Chen's brother to marry as soon as possible?" Xia Jingyan quipped.

Zhao Jichen immediately blushed until his ears were rooted, cleared his throat and hurriedly explained, "It's ...... Not really! It's all about you, don't believe it! Zhao Jichen deflected the letter in his hand towards Xia Jingyan.

Xia Jingyan was not interested in reading the content of the letter, so she glanced at it in a hurry, but the title suddenly attracted her attention, and Xia Jingyan pulled the letter back in front of her eyes.

"Prisoner? What prisoner thoughts? ”

Zhao Jichen's ears turned redder, he pulled the letter back, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, nothing." ”

It's just that Xia Jingyan couldn't give up easily? After a long time, Zhao Jichen couldn't say that this was his word.

"I don't even know...... Brother is stingy! Xia Jingyan puffed out his cheeks like when he was a child.

"I have become a mother, how can I still be so child-tempered...... Okay, okay, no one has mentioned my words for a long time, I have to forget it myself, it's just a word, don't be angry with me......" Zhao Jichen hurriedly coaxed Xia Jingyan, "Besides, it's not good." ”

"Isn't that good? What a sense of imprisonment! And...... What's wrong with having a baby! I've just given birth to a hundred children, and I'm your sister! You need to let me! ”

"Oh, good, good...... Good sister, don't be angry. ”

Zhao Jichen pulled Xia Jingyan's sleeve, as if he was coquettish, Xia Jingyan always had to accept it, but now that it was raining heavily, he wanted to leave and left, and he always had to find a topic to talk about to relieve the embarrassment.

"Then do you have any expectations for the word Brother Chen?" Xia Jingyan asked.

Zhao Jichen didn't react for a while, and asked, "What expectations?" ”

"It's the expectation of the person who took the word for you, just like me, the word Jingyan was taken by my mother, and the same sound is cautious in words and deeds, although I have never followed it......" Xia Jingyan smiled, but immediately, she couldn't laugh.

Zhao Jichen paused and said: "Imprisoned thoughts, imprisoned thoughts, it is my father who wants me to break off love in this life." ”

"Huh? Why?! Xia Jingyan was shocked, he had only seen his father urging his son to marry, but he had never seen anyone who taught his son not to fall in love.

Zhao Jichen's expression was depressed, he smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I don't move until I die, why come to the old bitter prisoner, my father often recites these two sentences, because...... Because my mother abandoned him, and also abandoned me, and went to the end of the world with another wanderer, leaving my father alone and waiting for her for a lifetime, in fact, from the beginning, my mother did not have a trace of my father's heart, it was my father who insisted on marrying, and my mother recognized him as a brother and was intimate, and did not want to break his heart, so she married my father, but then her sweetheart came back, and she couldn't care about her father's sorrows, and went away with that person, I ...... In her eyes, it was just a compensation for her father, after she left, my father drank all day long, unconscious, and soon became terminally ill, and gave me this word before he died, and told me to be tempted again, so as not to end up with him......"

"Brother Hechen, I'm sorry, I mentioned that you were sad......"

Xia Jingyan sighed, sighed Zhao Jichen's pitiful background, and sighed the reincarnation of heaven, Zhao Jichen was still moved, and he still regarded Zhao Jichen as his own brother, and he didn't want to hurt his heart.

"It's okay, no one has been willing to listen to me complain for many years, listen to my words today, I said it, and my heart is also happy, but, I don't like this word, I think, my father has always gotten along with his beloved day and night, and with me, even if this marriage is a sin from beginning to end, I have always experienced love, don't hit the south wall and don't look back, I don't love once, how do you know how much it hurts to hit the south wall? So I gave up the word prison thinking a long time ago, and took it for myself, but the meaning of the word "minister" is not to tell you! Zhao Jichen's words this time were extraordinarily much, and he seemed to be naughty when he was over.

But Xia Jingyan couldn't laugh at all, "Brother Hechen, but now you hit the south wall, does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, don't ask! I didn't look back even if I asked. Zhao Jichen was extraordinarily firm.

Xia Jingyan looked at him, and could only smile bitterly.

As if a reward for Zhao Jichen's deep love, the rain stopped after a while, and the sun came out and shone brightly into the gathering hall, warm, but Xia Jingyan didn't leave, and stayed with him for a long time.

Love under the warm sun is so warm.
