In the imperial study, sandalwood is swirling, and the crystal jade lamp shines with orange light, soft and peaceful.

Zhu Xingzhan looked at the mahogany carved bookcase in front of him, his expression solemn. There are two secret folds on the bookcase, from the Dark Pavilion. The dark pavilion is subordinate to the inner house, specializing in collecting secret information inside and outside the imperial court, unknown secrets, at the beginning, the news that Li Zifeng and his party are still alive was reported to Zhu Xingzhan through the dark pavilion.

The Dark Pavilion is directly under the orders of Emperor Zhu Xingzhan, and unlike Mu Lin Pavilion, the Dark Pavilion is an internal secret guard organization, which can be said to be the emperor's henchman organization, while Mu Lin Pavilion only belongs to the external system, and only investigates peripheral information.

One of the secret compromises reported by the Secret Pavilion displayed the news and evidence of the Prime Minister's Mansion's private cultivation of the killer organization, but Wan Ziyu acted cautiously and did not leave any trace of the killer.

The other memo is a detailed description of the affairs of the Qingping Palace, which is roughly the same as the previous one, and also tells the news that the Qingping Palace's private breeding of killers and the nowhere to be found. The difference is that the killer raised by the Qingping Wangfu has a great relationship with Hongyuan Villa.

The attitude of the compromise is impartial. Needless to say, Zhu Xingzhan had already moved the idea of getting rid of it, but he never had the opportunity, but he didn't want the Prime Minister's Mansion, the queen and the crown prince to have any disagreement with him. So, there was a temptation to the queen.

Zhu Xingzhan exhaled deeply and summoned his henchman Hu Li, who bowed his hand, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Xingzhan's eyebrows were deep, "Immediately, it is rumored that the leader of the Dark Pavilion will be seen without a trace." ”

"Yes. Hu Li bowed deeply.

Xiao Hezi, the eunuch who had been waiting outside, looked slightly sick, and when Hu Li left, he paid attention to him, Xiao Hezi was slightly surprised, his eyes kept wandering with Hu Li's figure, and he couldn't help but wonder what in his heart.

............

A bend of the moon hung in the air, casting a hazy moonlight into the high walls, and the breeze was blowing, bringing up the shadows of the trees.

The bedroom of Anhua Palace is brightly lit, filled with a faint fragrance of gardenias, and by the hollow carved windows, stands a mahogany dresser, and on one side of the dresser is a five-foot-wide agarwood bed, with crystal curtains hanging next to the bed, and the curtain is decorated with plum blossom embroidery, and the bed is covered with a soft brocade quilt.

Concubine Yu Shufei sat on the edge of the bed in a lilac dark plum blossom pattern bedclothes, maintained her delicate palms, and stroked the plum blossoms embroidered on the brocade quilt over and over again, looking lonely.

Wen Yu, the personal palace maid, came quietly and came to Concubine Yu Shu and bowed slightly, "Niangniang." ”

Concubine Yu seemed to have just come back to her senses, and gently rubbed the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, "Have you found out?"

"Niangniang, the slave maid inquired, saying that His Majesty went to the queen's palace first, stayed for about a stick of incense, and hurried back to the imperial study, his face was very ugly. Soon after, Hu guards were summoned to go in to talk about things. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Yu's eyes suddenly deepened a little, "What did Your Majesty and Guard Hu say?"

Wenyu lowered her head slightly, "Niangniang forgives her sins, and the slave doesn't know." Rest assured, the slave has arranged for a good person to wait for you according to your instructions to deliver the news at any time. ”

Concubine Yu Shu slender jade fingers, pinched the crystal curtain, her eyes flashed with a look of longing, "What news has come back from King Qingping's side, have the people from my hometown arrived safely?"

Because of the relationship between Hongyuan Villa, Emperor Zhu Xingzhan and Yushu Concubine Li have always been inseparable, and Zhu Xingzhan is only passable to her, so the Li family has been in the family for more than 20 years, and there is only one son such as Zhu Luofeng, the king of Qingping.

In Zhu Xingzhan's heart, the prince born to Concubine Yu Shu is only a concubine prince, and his status will never be as good as the queen's sister-in-law, the crown prince Zhu Luoyun. Therefore, the origin of the name Zhu Luofeng is also for this reason. Later, in order to prevent Zhu Luofeng from coveting the position of the prince, he named him the prince early, completely breaking his thoughts.

Concubine Yu Shufei has always been resentful of this, her family background is mediocre, and Hongyuan Villa, which only has a cousin relationship, can barely rely on, seeing that the queen prince is in power, thinking about the future situation, she also has to plan for the future.

"Rest assured, the slave maid got the news a few days ago that the people from her hometown have come in the direction of Wei'an City. ”

Concubine Yu Shufei frowned slightly, and her eyes, which were originally quite good, were also covered with a little coldness, "I hope this cousin from this palace can fight for some qi and make good suggestions......"

Qingping Palace

The moonlight in the courtyard was as cool as water, the lights in the study were burning for a long time, and Zhu Luofeng sat in front of the desk and closed his eyes and concentrated. Chang Ning hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door through the threshold, "Lord Wang." ”

Zhu Luofeng didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, he only rubbed his eyebrows, "Say!"

Chang Ning looked at the black-robed man who was following behind him, and cautiously replied, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have secretly brought people from my hometown here, do you want to bring them to the secret room?"

Zhu Luofeng suddenly opened his eyes, "Who did you alarm?"

"Don't worry, the prince is a subordinate who takes a detour and takes the back door to pick people in, without any tails. ”

During Chang Ning's return, the black-robed man sighed impatiently, obviously a little dry. The slight movements of the black-robed man were caught by Zhu Luofeng, and Zhu Luofeng didn't say anything, and directly ordered the person to be taken to the secret room.

In the secret room, dark and deep, Zhu Luofeng waved his arm slightly, and the oil lamps hanging on the wall lit up one by one, the secret room was very spacious, the layout of the furnishings was roughly the same as the study, and on the wooden lattice on the side, there were all kinds of luxurious utensils, inlaid with gold and jade, and in the dim light, you could see the light of the treasures.

In the center of the room was a rectangular tea table, with a delicate candlestick and an orange flame burning steadily. Zhu Luofeng looked at the black-robed man who melted into the darkness.

The black-robed man was a little arrogant and dissatisfied all over his body, Zhu Luoyun looked at it, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a deep smile, "Let the distinguished guest wait for a long time, is it mine." As he spoke, he gestured to the seat in front of the tea table, "Please take a seat." ”

Zhu Luofeng's attitude seemed to be humble, but there was no gentleness in his expression and tone, and he even put on a high-minded appearance, obviously looking down on him from the bottom of his heart.

The dissatisfaction in the eyes of the black-robed man became more and more obvious, but he reluctantly sat down with Zhu Luofeng, and after sitting down, Zhu Luofeng didn't say a word, silently waiting for something.

After a long time, the black-robed man took off his black robe and revealed his true face, the cousin of King Qingping, that is, the cousin of Yushu Concubine Li, is the owner of Hongyuan Villa, Li Muyang!

Zhu Luofeng picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, "Master Li Zhuang worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to the house, but Xiao Wang was sluggish." I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you. ”

"The prince is too polite. Li Muyang symbolically took a sip of the teacup and continued, "The Shadow Mountain Villa is heavily guarded, the terrain is hidden, and the people the prince wants are all intact. ”

"I heard that there is a child with good qualifications and a good seedling. I don't know when I can bring it for Xiao Wang to see?"

Li Muyang's face was slightly unkind, "That kid is too stubborn, after taking time to train and obey, he will definitely bring it to the prince to see, and the prince will be satisfied." ”

Zhu Luofeng looked calm, "That's fine, the matter of Shadow Villa still needs more work from Master Li." ”

Li Muyang's eyes were deep, and he pinched the teacup casually, "That's nature." ”

Zhu Luofeng took a sip of tea, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly stared straight at Li Muyang, and his words changed suddenly, "I wonder if Master Li Zhuang has a way to find a medicine called Blue Ice Grass?"

"Blue Ice Grass?" Li Muyang was slightly surprised, he had faintly heard of Blue Ice Grass. Blue ice grass cures eye diseases and removes poisonous roots, which is a holy medicine that is difficult to find in the world. Li Muyang's eyelids were slightly raised, and he couldn't think clearly for a while, what was the purpose of such a solemn atmosphere at this time, Zhu Luofeng suddenly mentioned it.

Li Muyang's reaction was already expected by Zhu Luofeng, and Zhu Luofeng smiled slightly, "Master Li doesn't have to think about it at this time, just keep it in mind, the blue ice grass that Xiao Wang just mentioned may be able to help us." ”

Li Muyang frowned slightly, and he couldn't understand what Zhu Luofeng meant.

Zhu Luofeng's expression was inexplicable, and his deep eyes were firmly fixed on Li Muyang, and then he took out a letter from his body and handed it over, "There is also a big gift, and I hope that Master Li Zhuang will accept it with a smile." ”

Li Muyang took it with both hands, opened the letter and read it roughly, there were some names written on the letterhead, Li Muyang didn't know them, but he could vaguely think that it should be a killer hidden by Zhu Luofeng, he suddenly regretted taking the letter, and when he was about to return it, he was stopped by Zhu Luofeng, "Master Li Zhuang and keep it, maybe I can help in the future." ”

............

Half an hour later, Chang Ning quietly sent Li Muyang away, and when he came back, Zhu Luofeng saw Chang Ning's hesitant face, and he stopped talking, his eyelids raised slightly, "If you have something to say, just ask, what kind of system do you have?"

Chang Ning took a deep breath and asked with some doubts, "Lord Wang, with all due respect, my subordinates are blunt, according to the previous investigation, this distinguished guest's temperament has always wavered, and you did not hesitate to send out that list, so you are not afraid of ......."

"I knew you were going to ask this. Zhu Luofeng's face was calm, "But the intention of that list is to test, this king just wants to see how capable this Li Zhuang master can be." ”

After Chang Ning thought for a while, he suddenly understood something, "Thank you Lord Wang for solving your doubts, my subordinates understand." ”

Outside the window, unknown birds flutter their wings and let out a slight strange call......
