prince attendant

Mu Qing raised her head and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, but the phoenix eyes were full of erratic and teasing intentions just now, and she looked at Mu Qing very seriously, with a restrained expression, even Mu Qing couldn't help but become serious , quietly looked at His Royal Highness, and heard His Royal Highness say

"Just remember that you are a member of this palace, and everyone else doesn't have to take it to heart."

Mu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and upon hearing such words, a sound like a drum was beating in her heart.

He looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, looked at each other for a moment, then blinked, then looked away, and suddenly didn't know what to answer. Self-responsibility should be like this, but when it is said deliberately, it always feels like there is a little bit of different implication.

Seeing his silent appearance, Ji Yi clicked his tongue, stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said comfortingly

"Okay, Bengong took time out of his busy schedule to explain it to you, so you should be accommodating and let go of such knots for the time being, so that Bengong will not come here in vain this time."

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled slightly, as if deliberately showing weakness. Such a flattering attitude seemed to have switched their identities, which made Mu Qing recover from the indescribable state of mind just now, and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince smiling at herself. , probably a little flattered, but also a little uncomfortable to say

"Your Highness is here today, is it for this kind of thing?"

Ji Yi bent his eyes slightly, looked at Mu Qing very sincerely and said

"Otherwise, why do you think I came to you?"

Mu Qing: ...

He really couldn't think of any other matters that required the Crown Prince to talk to him specially. He thought he was just passing by and saw his embarrassment, but unexpectedly, he went to look for him for this kind of thing. Although Mu Qing always I feel that His Royal Highness's mind is very difficult to understand, but at this moment, I can't help but fluctuate because of it.

Mu Qing raised her head and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince for a while, but after all she was defeated, she patted her forehead and said as if begging for mercy

"Your Highness came to make such a temptation again. It would be really bad if I took it seriously. Moreover, being looked at by His Highness with such eyes, I always feel that my life will be shortened."

His Royal Highness immediately frowned, probably feeling a little dissatisfied

"Why did you lose your life?"

Then he laughed loudly again, his eyes swept away the expression of clarifying the truth just now, and he resumed his usual willfulness, saying

"But what I said, it doesn't matter if you take it seriously. Over the years, I have known you a lot. I told you that you don't have to worry about anything, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Mu Qing smiled helplessly, but lowered her eyes quietly.

And His Highness the Crown Prince was really busy with things, not long after he finished speaking, someone came to look for him, His Highness the Crown Prince stood up, and was about to leave here, Mu Qing followed His Highness the Crown Prince to get rid of him, and told him to send him out of the courtyard and return At that time, I stood in the same place in the corridor for a while, and couldn't help putting my hand on my forehead. I remembered the words His Royal Highness swore, and just shook my head and smiled. Although His Royal Highness behaved perversely, but like today His behavior, in this case, made him relax a lot, at least it showed that His Highness the Crown Prince would not alienate him for the time being.

Days come and go, but it’s just like this, in fact, there is nothing to care about, rumors about the prince’s reading, or child molestation, are just like what His Royal Highness said, but they are all talking about the best relationship with His Royal Highness. The closest person is him, Mu Qing.

What Mu Qing is best at is self-explaining. In fact, looking back on these few days, I want to alienate myself, but nothing has changed. From the beginning to the end, let alone others can't see it, even if they can see it, they can't see it. Thought he was having a tantrum—that was a really dumbfounding phrase, as if he had such a right to be in a tantrum.

Everyone's thoughts are not something that another person can guess. Just like His Royal Highness, and like His Royal Highness, Ji Yi just walked away, and the Crown Princess sent someone to apologize for his crime. Mu Qing only felt that it was a bit redundant. He probably knew The intention of His Royal Highness to do this is that forcing to correct a habit may be a common thing, but it was imposed on oneself, and the prince just happened to bump into it. It is really possible to change such a bad habit, but I am nothing at all, and I don’t feel bad about maintaining the status quo.

Therefore, after accepting such an apology, I told the maid who came to pass on the message that she was the Crown Princess, and there was really no need to express my apology to myself. It was just another thing I wanted to tell Her Highness the Crown Princess. Not a very good habit.

When the maid who followed Her Royal Highness from Xilin Mansion told Her Highness the Princess, Her Highness smiled and said that she wanted to tell herself to quit this habit, but she forced it to quit. Isn't the habit of pulling seedlings to encourage growth, isn't it also pulling seedlings to encourage growth in another sense?

This is another meaningless thing, because the deep-rooted habit has been formed since Xilinjue was born, and the power exerted from top to bottom has never said no to the answer.

From this point of view, His Royal Highness is still much better than the Xilin Mansion—or most of the clans. At least in the Xilin Mansion, a person with the identity of a companion will never be tolerated in the mansion. Master's.

The maid was still puzzled when she heard such words.

"Is it a good thing to let the servants show off their power in the mansion?"

Isn't this the so-called evil slave?

Xilinjue couldn't help laughing when he heard it

"Mu Qing, is he someone who shows off his might?"

The maid paused, remembering the daily words and deeds of the prince's attendant, although she was not used to the people in the prince's mansion, but this person had nothing to do with flaunting his might, so she stuck out her tongue in a concealed manner, and quibbled made a sentence

"Maybe it's an act of kindness."

"The one who can pretend to hide it from someone like the prince is very powerful."

Xilinjue smiled slightly, looked back at the maid who had followed her since she was a child, and said

"Let's talk about things like freedom of movement. Do you think I lived comfortably when I was in Xilin Mansion?"

The maid's eyes wavered, and she said uncertainly

"Master and Madam also love Miss very much. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is not a very good husband, he is much better than many young masters in Chengyang. At least he is not a spendthrift person. Besides, in the future—"

"Don't talk about the future."

Xilinjue interrupted her, shook her head, and said

"What kind of marriage is this? You have also seen my daily life. The standard you set for comparing His Royal Highness with everyone else is too ridiculous. Could it be that he is a good husband-in-law without spending time and drinking? Besides, how do you know that I just want to marry these ignorant young masters from Chengyang."

"Miss……"

The maid watched her walk back to the dormitory step by step, she could still hear the disapproval in the tone of the lady from home, and hurriedly followed into the dormitory, and said words of comfort, but it was more about things like in-laws, but she didn't listen. It's necessary.

It's just a play to make the old people happy, so it's ridiculous to discuss its true meaning.

The moonlight shines, reflecting the darkness of the whole place. This is the end of the month, the moonlight is very shallow, and it can only be illuminated by lights. Where vegetation grows, there is the sound of insects and birds.

In such a dark time, when Mu Qing was going to look for His Highness the Crown Prince, she was in vain. It was that His Highness the Crown Prince was not in the mansion. At first, Mu Qing thought that she was visiting others and did not come back. Before the person came back, Mu Qing asked the attendants who were serving in the Prince's Hall with some doubts

"It's so late, why hasn't His Royal Highness come back?"

The attendant shook his head and said

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only went out in the evening. It seems that he is going to keep an appointment. Maybe he will come back very late. You might as well go back and wait until His Royal Highness returns."

Going to an appointment?

Mu Qing frowned, why didn't he hear that there was any banquet to invite His Royal Highness—or some random gathering.

Mu Qing thought this way, and waited for a while in the study room. There were still scattered books on the desk. Mu Qing came to sort out those scattered books out of boredom, and a sign fell out from the inside, which said Chang'an Building Three A word, Mu Qing picked it up and flipped it back and forth, staring at the pattern on it and thinking for a while, before confirming that the pattern on it seems to belong to a certain gang in Jianghu.

However, it seems that the so-called gangs are not quite accurate.

Although Chang'an Building has the name of Chang'an, it is engaged in the business of killing and killing people. It means that the top floors of the most famous restaurants in various places will vacate a room on the [-]th of each month, and they want to ask Chang'an Building to kill someone. , put the information of the other party with the money for life in that room, and if someone takes the things away on the second day, it will prove that the order has been accepted, and leave such a wooden sign as a proof.

It is said that the people in the Chang'an Building are all abandoned babies who are looking for. They were raised by the people in the building since they were young. The place where the people in Lou trained before they were 12 years old was deep in the mountains, so if they failed and were abandoned, if they wanted to go back, they would not be able to find where their old nest was.

On the way to the banquet, Honghu followed His Royal Highness. Generally speaking, it is not Honghu's turn to do such things as guards, but this time the person he is going to meet is different. He should be careful when negotiating with the landlord who cultivated the killer. some good.

Ji Yi listened to Honghu talking about the Chang'an building, so he said with some interest

"Do you want to make a bet, bet that if the other party invites me, is it going to take my life?"

Honghu shook his head and said

"No, but there are always troubles. The rules of meeting people in the Jianghu. Only by testing the depth of the other party can we determine whether it is necessary to continue the relationship, or how to treat the visitor. It is all in this initial temptation. .”

Ji Yi clicked his tongue and commented:

"What a vulgar way."

Hearing such comments, Honghu couldn't help laughing, and said

"In the eyes of His Highness, the people who mess around in the rivers and lakes are probably divided into reckless and powerful reckless."

Ji Yi was noncommittal and just said

"It's just a cover-up name for those who are banned by force and ignore the law. Of course it is necessary to treat it with caution, but there is no need to always take it to heart."

"It's natural."

Honghu nodded and echoed this statement. He also had contacts with people in Jianghu in other places, so he added another sentence

"Actually, there are many people worth making friends with in Jianghu, and not all of them are people who ignore the law."

Ji Yi said casually

"Isn't what we are going to meet today a person who regards the law as nothing?"

Honghu: ...

Honghu had no choice but to blink, thinking it would be better to shut up first.

When he was speaking, he had already arrived at the agreed place, which was a courtyard on the outskirts of the city. It was a very ordinary courtyard. Except that the place was relatively remote, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a very dangerous existence.

They stood at the door for a while, and Ji Yi stretched out his hand and pushed open the half-covered door. There was a creaking sound, which was made because the door panel was too old.

And the courtyard was pitch black, with no lights shining or people walking around, only the moon, which was as thin as a silver hook, hung above the head.

As the two walked in, Honghu had already entered a state of alert, and when he walked to the end of the third step, he whispered

"There are eight people in the courtyard here, 36 people are distributed outside the courtyard, and there is only one person in the house."

Ji Yi listened to him, and didn't express anything, just nodded slightly, and pushed open the door of the main entrance.

It was pitch black in the house, and at night without lights, I couldn't see anything clearly, but I heard the sound of breathing, and there was someone inside.

Ji Yi and Honghu walked inside, and as soon as they entered the door, there was a gust of wind, and then they heard a "clang", and the door was immediately closed tightly.

Suddenly there was a dead silence, Ji Yi smiled and said

"Is this how the landlord of Chang'an Building treats guests, or is it a way to show off to my master?"

The other party smiled slightly

"It's not a show of power, nor is it a Hongmen banquet, but I just think it might be better for His Royal Highness to talk like this."

Ji Yi rubbed the corners of his eyes, and felt a little tired of hearing the other party's mysterious words like this

"You don't even dare to show your true colors in front of me, so you want to negotiate a deal with me?"

The man in the dark whispered

"Does His Royal Highness really want to see my real mask?"

Ji Yi clicked his tongue out of boredom, and said directly

"If you are not sincere, then leave."

"Since His Royal Highness insists on this, please be prepared to be frightened."

Then he heard a chuckle again, and then a gust of wind came, Honghu subconsciously made a blocking movement, and the next moment, the room was suddenly ablaze.

In the bright light in front of him, the scene that appeared made people hold their breath for an instant.

Sitting on the main seat was a man covered in snow.

The clothes are white, the skin is white, the hair, eyebrows and pupils are all white. If it weren't for the moving fan and the rotating pupils in the man's hand, it would almost make people think that the person sitting there is actually a statue.

A beautiful but icy statue, in a dark room, when the light is suddenly turned on, it really has the effect of scaring people into ghosts.

After the other party saw the shock in Ji Yi and Honghu's eyes, he smiled slightly, waved his fan again, a gust of wind blew, and the lamps went out one by one, and finally only two lamps were left on, which were placed in the paper lanterns and emitted A dim and blurred light.

He stood up, gave a substandard salute to Ji Yi, and said

"In Shenci, I met His Royal Highness the Prince."

said again

"Sorry, I lost my way in the snow and couldn't see the light, so I can only wrong His Royal Highness to talk in this dim scene."

The recipe for getting lost in the snow is an extremely rare disease, which is different from ordinary albinism. It is said that the sick person is covered in snow-white without any variegated color, can blend with ice and snow, and has a very short life span. It is recorded that the person suffers from this disease Those who have never lived the year of destiny.

Although there is news that the other party suffers from this disease in the collected information, I still feel very shocked when I see it with my own eyes.

And after a moment of shock, Ji Yi has already returned to his normal state. He will not see the other party clearly or have any compassion for him because of such a disease that causes premature death. On the contrary, he feels the power of the other party even more. .

This person is sitting still, and a fan can freely generate wind and extinguish the fire, which is by no means something that anyone can do.

But at this moment in the darkness, the other party is like a hazy light.

There are no extra furnishings in the room, only tables and chairs. After Ji Yi sat down, Honghu stood behind him by himself. Shen Ci looked at the two of them and said

"His Royal Highness, there is no need to be on guard. This time, His Royal Highness is invited here, just to give His Royal Highness news that His Royal Highness is very interested in, and there is one more thing."

Ji Yi smiled slightly and said lightly

"For no reason, why did you think of helping me?"

Shen Ci smiled, looked at Ji Yi, and said

"Why does His Royal Highness pretend to be deaf and dumb? Isn't it His Royal Highness who is going to order the killing of Chang'an Tower? I just stopped in advance, hoping to use this to ask His Royal Highness to show mercy."

Even though he said so, he didn't intend to ask at all. In his eyes, this was not a request, but a transaction

Ji Yi said

"You guys ignore the law and kill people. This is another matter. It has nothing to do with Bengong coming here tonight. Why don't you tell your intentions earlier, before Bengong loses interest, maybe I can still come with you Make this deal."

Shen Ci opened his mouth and said

"I just hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will help me kill someone."

Ji Yi looked up at him and asked

"Who?"

Shen Ci opened the fan, covered his face with a smile, and said

"Nangong Wenxian, the owner of Nangong Mansion in the southwest"

Ji Yi let out a "hey" and said

"Your Chang'an building is not in the business of killing people for life, why don't you kill people yourself?

Shen Ci smiled, looked at His Royal Highness, and said

"Your Highness already wants to kill us, so how dare you presuppose murder and death under His Highness the Crown Prince?"

This is another excuse, but there is no need to explain, Ji Yi only asked

"Why did you kill him?"

Shen Ci made it easy

"Is the name of the person who killed his father and enemy enough?"

Ji Yidao

"Why, didn't you say that Master Mei is your father's father-killing enemy?"

Shen Ci replied

"Lord Mei is my father's best friend. Someone blamed him. It was not long ago that I found out the truth. However, His Royal Highness should not be interested in our family affairs, so I won't talk about it with His Highness. , right now, I just hope His Highness the Crown Prince will help me avenge me."

Ji Yi Road

"Even if you kill your father and your enemy, and you inherit your father's murder business, you don't want to kill the other party's life with your own hands, but you want to hand it over to me. Doesn't it sound absurd?"

Shen Ci gave a bleak smile, tapped the palm of his hand with the fan again, and said

"There is more than enough heart but not enough strength. Chang'an Building was originally created by my father unintentionally. Thanks to everyone's love, it has a little bit of fame. However, compared to the Overlord of the Southwest, with this level of strength, he may not even be able to enter the Inner Palace. Kuang I don't have much time, the only wish in my life is to avenge my father, I can't do it myself, I hope I can entrust it to someone who can do it, and your Highness don't need to worry too much, Nangong Wenxian is an unforgivable crime, He deserves to die, but it depends on whose hands he dies at."

Ji Yi raised his eyes to look at Shen Ci, but he couldn't see any expression from his pale pupils with a hint of pink.

said again

"What do you say about your sincerity?"

Shen Ci knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had been persuaded by him, so he took out a box from his sleeve and put it on the table. Ji Yi raised his eyes, and Honghu had stretched out his sword and opened the lock. He raised the lid of the box, and inside was a scarlet pill.

"The elixir prepared by Nangong Wenxian, which can eliminate all diseases, was taken by Mrs. Mei's deceased wife."

Shen Ci raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yi, smiled slightly, and said

"Before the Mei Mansion was destroyed by fire, His Royal Highness sent people to search the Mei Manor. What they were looking for at that time was probably to find this thing. The so-called elixir that can cure all diseases, although it makes people recover immediately, it seems to be cured. , but it caused people to lose their senses after taking it, and they died suddenly within a day. After working around for a few days, I wanted to find the thing that caused the corpse change, and I will offer it to His Royal Highness with both hands. I don’t know if this sincerity will be appreciated by His Highness?”

The lights in the paper lanterns beeped. It turned out that the flowers of the lanterns had burst, sputtering lamp oil.

Mu Qing raised her head and looked at the sky outside through the half-open window. She was afraid that she would not come back tonight, so Mu Qing stopped waiting and went straight back.

It's just that when Mu Qing changed her clothes and went to sleep, she always felt a little restless. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a flute, fluttering like melancholy, lingering in Mu Qing's ears. Couldn't sleep anymore, finally sat up, got out of bed, put on his coat, got out of bed and went out, the maid who was sleeping in the outer cabinet was awakened by his movement, raised the curtain to see him coming out , and quickly asked

"What's wrong, son?"

Mu Qing said softly

"Did you hear any noise?"

The maid shook her head in a daze, she was not quite sober, and was about to get out of bed with her eyes closed, so Mu Qing waved her hand and said

"Go to sleep, I'll go out and have a look and come back, so you don't need to get up and trouble yourself."

Saying so, she walked out, opened the door and walked to the corridor, listening to the low and melodious sound of the flute, Mu Qing followed the sound and looked up, only to see a moon like a silver hook, shadowy and indistinct. The grass and trees on the courtyard wall, the sound of the flute was blown here by the wind, hidden in the dark night, it seemed to be played in the mansion.

Mu Qing stood in the corridor for a while, her heart was swayed by the music, she had never heard the sound of a flute that spread so far, and the maid didn't hear it just now, it seemed that she played it specially for him——

Is that someone using this method to go out of the house to see him?

When Mu Qing hesitated, she heard slight footsteps coming from behind. It turned out that the maid also got up and walked out. She looked at Mu Qing with some doubts, and asked

"Did you hear something, sir?"

"A flute sound."

The maid showed a puzzled expression, and made a gesture of listening carefully, but she still didn't hear a sound, so she could only give up, and said

"My lord, did you hear it wrong? Maybe it's some kind of voice made by a weaving lady somewhere."

Mu Qing listened to the low but clear sound of the flute that lingered in her ears, and knew that she hadn't heard it wrong, so she shook her head at the maid and said

"Go back to sleep, I'm going to see someone."

The maid heard him say who was going to meet at such a late hour, so she immediately woke up, and said in a strange way

"It's so late? Who is the young master going to see?"

"I don't know, I'll know when I see it."

Mu Qing gathered up the clothes from the outside batch, put them on properly, took another glazed lantern and held it in her hand, and went to look for the flute player. He went down two or three steps to the courtyard, and remembered something again. Turning around, he said to the maid who was full of confusion and worry

"Go to sleep, don't worry, I'll be right back."

After finishing speaking, she went out with the lamp in her hand. Although the maid always felt that something was wrong in her heart, she thought that there were so many attendants in the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's hidden guards, so there shouldn't be any safety, so she stood in the wind for a while, and then went back He got out of the hall and waited, although he said he didn't need to follow, but he didn't dare to just go to sleep like that.

At the end of summer, the night is already cool, and the wind is blowing, making the paths of the grass and trees sway, and the shadows are also turbulent. It always looks like someone is dormant among the trees and trees.

Mu Qing regained her composure, and went out following the music, and saw a man standing at the entrance of the alley, dressed in black and with black hair, with a sword on his back, holding a flute in his hand, and the tassels hanging down were shaking in the wind.

Mu Qing stopped in her tracks, looked at it for a while, and was sure that it was really a person standing at the entrance of the alley instead of hallucinations, so she paused before asking

"I don't know who you are?"

Turned around conveniently, raised his eyes to look at Mu Qing, and saluted him with fists in his hands, speaking in a very cold voice

"Meet you again, Mr. Ruyu."

It didn't sound like a greeting, but a death call.

The voice was really unfamiliar, so Mu Qing raised the lantern and looked at him. After a while, she recognized who he was. It was one of the three people Mu Qing met when she went to Mrs. Mei's burning mansion not long ago.

"Is it you? The one who followed that girl to the Mei Mansion that day?"

Said to the convenience

"That time I waited for you specially, and this time I also specially invited you out of the house."

The other party looked at Mu Qing, turned the bamboo flute in his hand, and said coolly

"Since you have chosen to come out, then let's go."

Mu Qing said

"Where are you taking me?"

Said to the convenience

"Take you to see the secret of His Royal Highness."

Are there any secrets about His Royal Highness that I don't know?

Mu Qing hesitated in his heart. Although he felt that it was very weird to come out to meet people in the middle of the night, but looking at the other person's attitude, he was afraid that if he didn't go, he would be knocked out and take him there.

There is also that weird flute sound that only you can hear, even if you come prepared, there is no need to shirk

So I had to say helplessly

"Then please lead the way."

The man didn't say much nonsense, turned around and left, Mu Qing followed behind him, walking on foot like this, even passed through most of Chengyang, and asked Mu Qing to walk out of breath, but the other party didn't feel any discomfort, Seeing Mu Qing's appearance when he turned his head, he frowned slightly. Before Mu Qing could react, he grabbed Mu Qing's collar, and even carried him over the eaves and over the wall. Not long after, he brought Mu Qing all the way to a forest Among them, stopped on a tree.

Mu Qing only felt that she was going to be strangled to death. The so-called lightness skill seemed very elegant, but it was really painful to carry someone, the person being carried.

But before he finished expressing his emotions, his attention was already attracted by the shouts of swords from under the tree.

Looking down, under the faint moonlight, there were only black blood stains on the ground, and many people had been lying down in a mess.

And there is another woman who is still confronting the other party. Judging from her figure, it is the girl who attacked Mu Qing that day. Looking at it like this now, I can see that the girl is already very embarrassed, but still supports her. Facing Shura who came to claim his life, the man in black clothes raised his sword and fell. From such a distance, you can still see that the murderer's clothes are painted with sky-feathered goshawks, and on the sleeves The wings floating from above are its unique shape.

This is Tianyu Qingqi, the only one that can be active in Chengyang at the moment is under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Killing people in deep mountains and old forests without sleeping in the middle of the night, is this the so-called secret of His Royal Highness the Prince?

Mu Qing couldn't help holding his breath. He knew that Tianyu Qingqi was powerful, but he had never really seen the scene of Tianyu Qingqi performing a mission. There were many corpses on the ground, but none of them were wearing Tianyu Qingqi's clothes.

In other words, everyone here was killed by him.

The only girl left was still resisting, but it was undoubtedly hitting a stone with a pebble.

And just as the opponent made a move, the person who brought him had already reached the sword, and a bamboo flute had already shaken the opponent's sword.

"Having killed so many people, don't you plan to let Mrs. Mei go?"

Tian Yu's people obviously didn't pay attention to his plan, so they went up with their swords, but after a few dazzling confrontations that made Mu Qing look at him, Tian Yu's people looked at the unborn man squarely, stopped for the time being, and watched The other party's voice was also cold, without any emotion

"I advise you not to do anything in vain, Mei Ruzhi must die today."

The man who came with Mu Qing pulled up the girl who had fallen on the ground, and continued what the other party said

"Then if it's your master's order, can you tell you to stop today, don't do this kind of killing again, and let Master Mei go?"

The author has something to say: emmm... I'm a bit busy these days. The so-called [-] word update will be [-] first, and the other [-] will be added on Saturday or Sunday.
