It was late at night, Ning Wang's Mansion was silent, Ye Ningxiang wore a mask on her face, dressed in black, and left her house with great dexterity, and then jumped into the dark night.

Duanwangfu.

Under the dim candlelight, Princess Duan's face became even haggard, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even squeeze out a fake smile, and finally sighed at herself in the mirror.

"Princess, you better rest early, I'm afraid the prince won't come back tonight for the night. Princess Duan's personal maid was very distressed when she looked at the princess, and she persuaded her kindly.

"Let's wait a little longer, the prince only came back at this hour half a month ago. Princess Duan said in a low voice.

"No. ”

In the past two months, King Duan has spent the night in the palace less and less, and even if he comes back for the night, it is almost in the dead of night, and then he gets up early in the morning to go to the morning court. Princess Duan was puzzled, so she went to ask, but as soon as the words came out, she was scolded in exchange, "You are a woman, just stay in the house honestly, you are verbose all day long, ask this and that, it's really annoying!"

On the second day, King Duan brought back a little girl from the palace. The little girl was supposed to participate in the selection of palace people this year, but she was born in the wrong past because she was sick, and now she has become King Duan's side concubine, but this should be like a heartache in Princess Duan's eyes.

Princess Duan felt that King Duan's doing this seemed to have the intention of punishing her for talking too much, so she didn't dare to ask King Duan what he was doing outside the palace.

It is often said that if a person is expecting something to happen, it will happen. Originally, Princess Duan didn't believe it, but now she believes it a little.

When her heart almost collapsed because of the indefinite waiting, Duanwang actually pushed the door and entered the house.

"It's so late, why hasn't the princess slept yet?" there was a hint of concern in Duanwang's words.

It took half a month to see her husband again, and because of the result of her hard waiting, Princess Duan was so happy that almost tears broke out of the corners of her eyes.

"The concubine is waiting for the prince. Princess Duan replied while carefully taking off King Duan's coat.

"Don't wait for me in the future. Duan Wang's words became very cold, and he didn't wash up, so he was ready to go to bed directly.

"Your Royal Highness King Duan, someone asked me to send you a message. A very low woman's voice seemed to be not too far behind King Duan.

"Who?" Duan Wang looked behind him very alertly, but saw nothing, and then prepared to call the guards.

"Don't worry, King Duan, I just want to talk to you, not to harm you. Ye Ningxiang opened her mouth before Duanwang.

King Duan listened to this woman's words with respect, and besides, she was a woman, so she didn't expect to make any mistakes, so he asked further, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ye Ningxiang felt that since she had aroused King Duan's interest, she shouldn't beat around the bush, so she replied directly: "The throne." She is not talking about the prince, but the throne, which is the highest point of the power to leave the country more directly than the prince.

In order to show her sincerity to King Duan, Ye Ningxiang jumped off the beam of the room and stood in front of King Duan.

This move once again deepened King Duan's trust, so King Duan, the princess and the maids instructed: "Today's matter, no matter who leaks the slightest rumor, don't be killed!" and then took Ye Ningxiang into his exclusive study.

"Tell me, who are you, and what is the purpose of your coming to me?" Duan Wang asked coldly, and a strong alertness could be heard in his words.

"The little girl is a disciple of Venerable Tianhua, and she came to give guidance to King Duan on the order of the family teacher. Ye Ningxiang began to talk nonsense.

"Venerable Tianhua?" King Duan was very suspicious of who this person was, and while asking, he searched for this number one person in his mind. King Duan has always liked to study the Dao, and the most obsessed thing is the art of immortality, so he will always pay special attention to what Venerable, what Dao Master, or what mage and the like. It is precisely because of this that Ye Ningxiang made up the name of Tianhua Venerable.

Hearing King Duan's question, Ye Ningxiang deliberately cleared her throat again and said: "The family master is a hermit on Tianhua Mountain, who has been cultivating in Tianhua Mountain for more than 200 years, but his appearance is like a person in his thirties and forties. ”

Ye Ningxiang would not believe what others were talking about, but what the king of this Duan is most obsessed with is immortality, things like cultivating immortals, when he heard Ye Ningxiang say this, his eyes seemed to be green, and he seemed to be still shining.

Ye Ningxiang was overjoyed: Yes, yes, the fish has been hooked. So she continued to talk nonsense, "Although the family teacher has been away from the world for hundreds of years, because he is a person who has left the country, he has never let go of leaving the country in his heart, so he has always been concerned about the situation of leaving the country in private. ”

Seeing that King Duan listened attentively and didn't say a word, Ye Ningxiang continued: "Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the master said that according to his calculations, the emperor will not survive this winter, but the position of the prince is still unresolved, which is really a heart-wrenching matter. According to the calculation of the family teacher, it would be good if you won the position of prince, but if the emperor was delirious for a while and gave this son to someone else, this departure from the country would be destroyed!"

Hearing the Dao Immortal evaluate himself like this, King Duan suddenly became fluttering, and he was more sure that he was the future king, although he thought so in his heart, he still asked: "The family teacher really thinks that this prince is the best for me?"

"That's nature. Ye Ningxiang replied with confidence. But at the moment when King Duan was lifted to the sky, Ye Ningxiang suddenly sighed and said, "But in case the emperor doesn't agree with you, everything before is meaningless." ”

"Then what do you want me to do, you can't get into the emperor's head and control the emperor to write my name on the edict of the prince!" King Duan probably also knew about this problem, so when he asked this, his voice was a little anxious.

"My tutor asked me to bring you five words: strike first. Ye Ningxiang deliberately lowered her voice and replied seriously.

Hearing these words, King Duan was very surprised, "What, do you want me to rebel?"

Ye Ningxiang smiled deliberately, shook her head, and said, "It's not a rebellion, it's in accordance with the will of heaven." This is the only way to make the country prosper for a long time. Otherwise, how could the tutor send me out to have a secret meeting with you late at night?"

This king already had the intention of replacing the emperor, and now he was greatly affirmed and fully supported by a person who had already attained the Tao and ascended to immortality, and he was even more determined in his heart about this evil idea.

"I know what to do, don't worry, I will definitely live up to Venerable Tianhua's high expectations!" After Duan Wang finished speaking, he actually clasped his hands into fists and saluted Ye Ningxiang.

Ye Ningxiang was a little embarrassed by this ceremony, and was even more embarrassed in order to dig a big pit and wait for King Duan to jump in, so she jumped out of King Duan's study when King Duan bowed his head.

Originally, with the wisdom of King Duan, he could simply find that Ye Ningxiang's words just now were simply full of loopholes. However, Ye Ningxiang grasped the psychology of King Duan at this time, and directly expressed the actual thoughts of King Duan's heart through a non-existent magic stick, and gave a profound affirmation. So King Duan's original idea will be realized from tonight onwards.

Ye Ningxiang flew into King Ning's mansion like a ghost, and then braked suddenly. For in the middle of the night, when she was silent and dark, she saw a man who was also dressed in white, and stood out in the darkness of the night.

Ye Ningxiang scolded in her heart: Mu Xize, I walked out of my house and didn't go back to my room to sleep, standing in the yard, and wearing a white dress, which is really scary than a ghost!

The courtyard of this palace was very close to Ye Ningxiang's room, so on the next road, Ye Ningxiang was very cautious, and she didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that Mu Xize, whose ears were sharper than a rabbit, would hear herself.

And this time, Ye Ningxiang was really worried, Mu Xize didn't notice that there was a person not far behind him who was tiptoeing towards his room. Because of the conversation with Ye Ningxiang two hours ago, Mu Xize fell into deep guilt and nostalgia again.

Although it was pitch black in front of him, he could still feel the light, in the middle of the night, when all the candlelight was extinguished, leaving only a bright moon to shine on the earth, that soft faint light poured on Mu Xize's face without hesitation, once again opening the floodgates of his memory.

It was the memory of Xiao Su, from the initial acquaintance to the final death, every scene, even every word she said, every expression she made, Mu Xize remembered it clearly.

Mu Xize wondered, when did he fall in love with this woman who was supposed to be his tool for revenge? He had asked countless times in his heart over the years, but he had never found the answer. It's probably that I fell in love inadvertently, and I can't let go of it inadvertently.

It seems that what was recorded in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan books he had read before was true. The nine-tailed fox clan is the most affectionate, and only loves one person in his life, living for him and dying for him.

I don't know how long he stood in the courtyard, Mu Xize tried to move his legs, but the legs didn't seem to be his own, and he didn't control them, and then he fell hard. Mu Xize patted the snow on his body, got up slowly, and then stumbled back to the room along the way.

Early the next morning, the chief manager Liu in the palace rushed to King Ning's mansion very anxiously, and this time he didn't use others to guide him, and walked directly towards Mu Xize's room. probably felt that it was not good to go in recklessly after all, so Manager Liu knocked lightly on the door and whispered: "Prince Xize." ”

Unexpectedly, Mu Xize actually came out to open the door for him as soon as he finished speaking, Manager Liu was very surprised in his heart, "The old slave still thinks that the prince of Xize is still asleep at this hour?" Looking at Mu Xize's outfit again, he was neatly dressed, his hair was not a trace of messiness, his face was more haggard, and the dark circles under his eyes were even more dazzling. Manager Liu had a question in his heart: Isn't it the prince of Xize who didn't sleep all night last night?

Mu Xize smiled faintly and said, "What's the important thing for Manager Liu to come here so early?"

was asked by Mu Xize, and Manager Liu's mind returned to the emperor, "Last night, the emperor's condition suddenly deteriorated, and he vomited a lot of blood, and Imperial Doctor Zhou said that it would not last for three days." Speaking of this, Manager Liu couldn't help crying, and his words were a little slurred, "The emperor said that he wanted to see you, and he wanted to talk to you again when he was still conscious." ”

Xu was infected by Manager Liu's emotions, Mu Xize's heart trembled suddenly, his chest was suffocated, and his nose was slightly sour, but he still held back his tears after all.

"Then let's go!" Mu Xize said pretending to be calm.

Manager Liu suddenly remembered the little girl who was always by Mu Xize's side, and asked, "Won't Prince Xize let that little girl come with you?"

"Not so much this time. Mu Xize said as he walked towards the outside of the mansion.
