Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes were slightly raised, he sat on the horse, glanced at Yun Yu, and looked at everyone.

"Why is that?" Her gaze fell on the lieutenant general, "Tell me, why can't the main palace go from here, and prefer the main palace to enter the city from somewhere else?" ”

The adjutant general's face was full of loyalty, and he said in a flattering tone: "Qiqi Crown Princess, six years ago, Yun Xi, the holy daughter of Yun Kingdom, died at this gate in red, since then, there is no precedent for a woman to enter the city from this gate in red, for the sake of the princess's safety, please enter the city from elsewhere." ”

Shen Lingxi lowered his eyes, saw the scarlet cloak on his body, and smiled.

She didn't expect that after six years, she would be remembered by these people in such a way.

"It's funny, there is such a saying......"

Her gaze swept over everyone again, and she asked for a moment, "What will happen if this palace wants to enter the city through this gate today?" ”

The lieutenant general didn't expect that this was actually a master who didn't believe in evil.

He admonished in a sincere tone: "According to legend, if a woman in a red dress enters the city through this gate, she will be possessed by a powerful ghost. It may also bring disaster to the people in the city, please think twice about the princess. ”

"Please think twice." The crowd echoed in unison.

"Devil? Disaster? ”

Shen Lingxi sneered, "If this is the case, this palace will have to enter the city from this gate." There are no other skills in this palace, but there are still some skills in catching ghosts. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi seemed to suddenly think of something, and pretended to be surprised and asked: "However, since ancient times, only people who have died unjustly will become powerful ghosts, do you mean that holy woman?" Could it be that she was unjustly killed? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials fell silent.

They were promoted six years ago, after the destruction of the Yun Kingdom.

As the so-called "success and defeat of the king", they can not only take the throne of the new king, but also hold important positions.

Either they are really talented, or they are the cronies of Yun Hongshan and the Xiao family.

Yun Hongshan, although he has ambitions, he is not much, and now he is a stranger.

Today, there are more cronies of the Xiao family, all of whom are familiar with the prince in a hurry.

Shen Lingxi's question is really difficult for them to answer.

After all, the saint was pushed down the city tower by Emperor Er as a "human animal".

"Human animals" are sacrificed to witch gods with their bodies and souls, and after death, they are naturally destroyed.

If she really turned into a ghost after her death, wouldn't it be an allusion to Emperor Er's curse, is it fake?

Is this curse true or false......

In the hearts of these people, there are naturally rods and scales.

Now the Great Zhou royal family is convinced of this curse.

How dare they, who are humble people, put their beaks at will?

The officials who knelt on the ground didn't dare to say much, and they all turned their eyes to Xiao Rui, who was standing behind Yun Yu.

And Yun Yu, the real King of Yunjiang, is like a puppet with no sense of existence, and is left aside by everyone.

"Why don't you speak? Is this question difficult to answer? Aren't you all quite outspoken? ”

Shen Lingxi saw that no one dared to respond, and looked at Xiao Rui with a smile in his eyes, "General Xiao is most respected by them in Yunjiang, can you tell me, what they say about the ghosts and calamities, but they are referring to the late Holy Maiden?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled, glanced into the distance, and stepped forward to salute, "It's just some folk rumors, the crown princess doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

"Since folk rumors can't be taken seriously......"

Shen Lingxi's smile instantly disappeared from the corner of his lips, his face showed displeasure, and he asked aggressively: "These people use this ridiculous excuse to stop the palace in front of the city gate and prevent the palace from entering the city. ”

"Hongu wants to ask, what do they mean by this? Is it a dismount for this palace? ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials who knelt on the ground along with the deputy general shook their spirits one after another.

They were thinking of kindly reminding this person and patting him by the way.

Unexpectedly, the sycophant didn't shoot it, and he ate it for nothing.

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and for a while, they didn't stand up or kneel, and the scene couldn't help but freeze there.

In the silence, the car carrying the crown prince, from far and near, slowly stopped behind Shen Lingxi.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Rui led the officials to salute the carriage: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing this, the corners of Shen Lingxi's lips hooked slightly.

Chunjun lifted the curtain from outside, and Chu Yan sat in the car, his cold gaze swept over the battle in front of him.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a faint expression.

Xiao Rui's face was embarrassed.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's the Crown Princess......"

As soon as the words came out, Shen Lingxi immediately intercepted his words with a smile, "These people under General Xiao said that women in red are not allowed to enter Yunbian City from this gate. also alluded to the late Sister Xi in front of me, who was unjustly killed. ”

"I thought that Sister Xi was in Yunjiang before her death, she was both a saint and a princess, even if she died like that, she married His Royal Highness and became a wife, and she should be respected, but now it seems that it is really chilling."

"Your Highness, you give me a comment, the first time I came to Yunbian City, they not only slandered Sister Xi, but also used Sister Xi to suppress me, are they dissatisfied with me?"

She has a "Sister Xi" on the left and a "Sister Xi" on the right, with undisguised dissatisfaction and arrogance in her tone.

The "good intentions" of their fists are all misinterpreted as malicious.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is vexatious.

Chu Yan was slightly stunned.

Officials, including Xiao Rui, are also slightly heartbroken.

Fang only cared about the master, but he forgot that the one who jumped into the city tower was the "original match" of the prince.

The one who fell in front of the city gate back then, his body was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was still the corpse that the prince personally collected......

In front of the current crown princess, mention the former crown prince......

Not to mention stepping on one hand, even such a trivial matter as entering the city, you have to let the current one "avoid" the predecessor, what is it not death?

The blood on the adjutant general's face suddenly faded cleanly, "The minister should die, the minister has no intention of offending the crown princess, and please punish the prince!" ”

The rest of the officials who knelt on the ground also pleaded guilty.

Chu Yan's eyes were slightly dark.

He knew very well that Shen Lingxi would not mention Princess Yunxi for no reason.

I will not trouble these officials for no reason.

He simply said: "You offended the crown princess, you should ask the princess for guilt, how to deal with you, it is up to the princess to say, the princess means lonely." ”

Xiao Rui's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.

When Chu Yan was in Yunjiang six years ago, although he was young, his style of acting was very arbitrary and decisive, and he had always been the same.

In the past five years, although he has not seen Chu Yan again, he has also heard of his reputation, and he is ruthless, which is even better than when he was in Yunjiang six years ago.

In any case, Chu Yan is by no means the kind of mediocre person who lets a woman be the master in front of everyone.

Now he not only protects Shen Lingxi, but also says such things.

Come to think of it, it was the violent death of Yun Hongshan, and the Xiao family aroused the suspicion of the prince.

Xiao Rui glanced at the deputy general lightly.

The adjutant general hurriedly kowtowed to Shen Lingxi: "It was the lower official who offended the crown princess, and asked the princess to punish him." ”

"Please punish the princess." The crowd also hurriedly agreed.

Shen Lingxi's gaze swept around them, and finally landed on Xiao Rui's face.

"General Xiao, I don't know much about your rules in Yunjiang......"

She pointed at those kneeling people with the horsewhip in her hand, and asked with a light smile: "People like them, who commit crimes below and rush into the palace, according to the rules of Yunjiang, how should they be dealt with?" ”

Now Yunjiang is in turmoil.

If an ordinary person is a newcomer and encounters this kind of thing, give a step and just reprimand a few words.

But Shen Lingxi didn't give up, and directly asked Xiao Rui for inquiry.

Or in the case of her vexatiousness.

Xiao Rui's eyes were gloomy, and because of Chu Yan's might, he waved his hand and replied: "According to the rules of Yunjiang, ten lashes will be given in public." ”

Shen Lingxi snorted, with an unbearable look on his face.

"There are so many people, and one person can be whipped ten times in public, which is too much, and it is inappropriate."

When the people kneeling on the ground heard this, they silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunjiang's whipping, don't say ten times, it is five times, all of them will hurt their muscles and bones, if the body is weak, they will have half a life.

However, the next moment-

"Nine lashes are ready."

Shen Lingxi's clear voice carried a well-intentioned meaning: "Nine has the meaning of 'long-term', and this palace hopes that you can remember this lesson for a long time." In the future, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say, and don't slander those who shouldn't slander, I hope you will take it as a warning. ”

All:......

Ten to nine, you really know how to reduce sentences.

Shen Lingxi said, and didn't forget to look at Mu Huai'an on his side, "General Mu, you have just come to Yunjiang, you must not be very familiar with the laws of Yunjiang, so go to see General Xiao's execution on behalf of the palace." ”

Mu Huai'an forcibly pressed down the corners of his lips and bowed.

Xiao Rui's face was already black to the bottom of the pot.

When did he say he was going to execute her?

He is a dignified general of Yunjiang, and he is the prince of Zhenguo who has made great achievements, and he has to give him three points in the territory of Yunjiang.

Today, not only was he called by a woman in public, and he was instructed to be an executioner.

was also worried that he was favoritism, so he asked Mu Huai'an, a yellow-haired boy who looked weak, to supervise his execution.

It's a shame!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Xiao Rui raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yan in the carriage, and hoped that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always enforced the law impartially, would be able to say a fair word.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yan just said lightly: "In this way, there is General Lao Xiao." ”

"Now that the matter has been settled, King Yunjiang, let's go to the city." He bowed his head to the clouds.

Yun Yu bowed, turned over his horse, and personally led the way.

Chunjun lowered the curtain at the right time.

Seeing this, Xiao Rui knew that there was no room for things to turn around, so he kept a calm face and waved behind him.

The crowd immediately moved out of the way.

Shen Lingxi wore a red cloak, rode a horse and followed Chu Yan's carriage, and slowly walked towards the city.

Wherever she walked, the people's attention was aroused.

It has been many years since the death of the Holy Maiden, and no one has passed under this gate wearing red.

"Look! Aunt Saint is back! ”

Among the onlookers on both sides, a stupid child with a general horn sat under the eaves of his house, clapping his hands, and shouting excitedly in the direction of Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi looked sideways at him, and a faint smile slowly bloomed on the corner of his lips.

That smile was seen in the eyes of everyone, and in a trance, it seemed to coincide with the red figure six years ago.

Some people couldn't help but palm up, stretched out their hands, made the gesture of Chengze's grace before, and bowed down in her direction.

"Holy Maiden...... Like a saint ......"

"It's her, she's back......"

At first, it was just a few faint whispers, but then somehow, more and more people followed the car.

The voices of those discussions are also getting louder and louder.

The voice was trotted by a small soldier into Xiao Rui's ears.

Xiao Rui looked at the red back that was fading away, and a grim light crossed his eyes......

*

Yun Yu, the new king of Yunjiang, has not yet been canonized.

Although he doesn't have much prestige in front of Yunjiang officials now, he can still make decisions when he arranges the lives of Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi.

The former Yunguo Imperial Palace has long been changed into the residence of the King of Yunjiang.

It's just that the king of Yunjiang is only a vassal king after all, and in terms of rituals, he can't go beyond the imperial city of the Great Zhou, so only half of the palace is used, and the other half has always been vacant.

Among them are the Lingxi Palace and the Medicine Palace, where Yun Xi used to live.

Coincidentally, "Lingxi" is the name of her dormitory in her previous life.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Lingxi Palace.

Shen Lingxi dismounted, stopped in front of the palace gate, looked at the renovated plaque, and felt a sense of being separated from the world.

Chu Yan got out of the carriage, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he asked and looked at Yun Yu, "Why do you live here?" ”

He was stationed in Yunjiang for a year, and naturally he also knew about the Yunguo Imperial Palace.

Lingxi Palace is the residence of the little princess before her death.

Yun Yu's eyebrows drooped slightly, "The Mingde Palace where His Highness lived before was struck by lightning during the heavy rain a while ago, and most of it was damaged. Therefore, the minister made an assertion and ordered someone to clean up this place. ”

Chu Yan frowned invisibly, and was about to let him change places-

saw that Shen Lingxi had already stepped in.

His phoenix eyes flashed slightly, thinking of sitting in the carriage before, hearing the whispers of the people, he glanced at Yun Yu deeply with his side eyes, and followed with steps.

In the Lingxi Palace, as in the previous life, it was simple and clean.

The pale blue curtains are layered on top of each other, gently swaying with the breeze.

In the gilded copper furnace, there is an unknown orchid incense burning, which makes people feel a sense of tranquility as soon as they enter the hall.

The window on one side opens, and you can see the peaks of the sacred mountain in the distance, which are dyed golden by the setting sun.

In front of the window, there is a large bookcase, and in the white jade porcelain bottle on the case, there are a few red plums in full bloom. In the center, a peach blossom paperweight carved from pink jade is pressed against a yellowed piece of rice paper.

There is still an unfinished ink painting on the rice paper.

If it weren't for the good wolf next to it, it would have dried up and shriveled. Everything on this case is as if the master had just left for a short time and would soon return.

But who knew at that time that this walk was separated by yin and yang, and things were not people.

Shen Lingxi stood in front of the bookcase, his fingertips gently caressing the painting, silent.

Chu Yan walked to her side.

His gaze swept lightly over the danqing, but he was attracted by the hand-copied book on the side.

On the faded blue cover of the book, the words "Medicine Sutra" were written with a slightly immature, but sharp stroke.

Look at the familiar handwriting.

For a long time, those doubts that had plagued Chu Yan's heart.

At this moment, there is finally an answer......

There's still one shift left, one self-punishment shift, and two more, but it's about to be in the morning.
