prince attendant

Looking at the gradually distorted human figures through the flames filled with bloody and foul smelling corpse oil, the terrifying scene in front of her made Mu Qing want to vomit, but she forcibly endured it and watched quietly. With everything reduced to ashes.

The people on Tianyu Qingqi saw Mu Qing's expression of not being able to bear to look straight at him without any concealment, but they didn't show any expression, they just said

"Instead of sympathizing with these people, Mr. Mu, why don't you first think about how you will intervene to stop Tianyu Qingqi and explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Confession—yes, Mu Qing said in his heart, now he really wants His Royal Highness to give himself an explanation so that he can understand the reason for this behavior.

All he wanted to do now was to see the prince immediately and ask him what was going on. He still believed that His Highness the prince was definitely not such a cold and heartless person.

In the past, in the present, and in the future, his highness the crown prince is expected to be a benevolent and benevolent monarch. Although he himself understands that this is something that will take a long time to achieve, he has never thought that his highness the crown prince would actually It would be indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

When Mu Qing went back to the Prince's Mansion, it was almost dawn, and there was no one walking on the road. In the silence, only the sound of insects, beasts and birds came and went, thinking that the man who rode lightly with feathers that day was called Thrush Since Mu Qing blocked the mission, it was better than nothing to send Mu Qing back to the mansion, but on the way back, he couldn't help but sneer at Mu Qing, probably because of Mu Qing's jokes, Mu Qing could only smile helplessly, and he felt the same in his heart I was worried, I was afraid to ask the reason for doing this, and I don't know how His Highness should explain it.

When they reached the alley in front of the Prince's Mansion, Huamei stopped, and did not intend to follow Mu Qing in. After parting, Mu Qing knocked on the door alone. It was already late at night, and the boy guarding the door had already fallen asleep. , I had to knock on the door a few times before I realized it, opened the door a crack, saw Mu Qing, squinted my eyes for a while, and then realized that I vaguely remembered that I was going out, so I asked in a daze

"Why did you come back at this time, son?"

Mu Qing smiled a little, went in without explaining too much, and asked the boy again,

"Is Your Highness back?"

"Isn't your son with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The boy was still a little confused, he only knew that the two of them left the mansion one after another, thinking they were going to a certain place.

Mu Qing murmured, then said

"It's not—that's all."

He thought about it, but he didn't explain too much after all, but he didn't have any intention to go to sleep, but subconsciously went to the book hall, and simply lit the lamp, waiting for His Royal Highness to come back in the book hall.

He has many questions to ask, but he doesn't know if he can get the answer. The candle is lit, and the face of the person is reflected in the light of the candle, but shaking back and forth, makes the expression appear to be bright and dark, and the look is very uncertain. true.

The wait was long and torturous.

When Ji Yi came back, it was already late at night, the moonlight had risen so high that there was only a vague hook left.

Honghuye had already gone back to Tianyu's stronghold in Chengyang, so Ji Yi went back to the mansion alone. When he first entered the mansion, the gatekeeper boy casually said that Mu Qing also went out in the middle of the night, Ji Yi raised his eyebrows, calmly, He didn't ask any more questions, and when he returned to the courtyard, he could see bright lights in the study room from a distance, and he didn't expect that he would wait for himself in the study hall when he came back.

This surprised Ji Yi a little bit, he thought that Mu Qing went out quietly, and thought that nothing had happened without telling him, did he even watch the night and wait for him to come back to report?

It made people don't know what to say, just gathered together, thinking that Mu Qing was still waiting for her to come back, I felt a burst of relief in my heart.

Then he went into the book hall, and the attendant who was waiting at the door greeted him, and said in a low voice

"Your Highness, the young master is waiting in the hall."

Ji Yi nodded, then pushed open the door and went in, then walked into the hall, through layers of bookshelves and bead curtains, he saw Mu Qing kneeling in front of the desk by the window, with his jaw resting, facing half of the room. The window is open, I don't know what to write.

The incense tablets with mint fragrance mixed with mosquito repellent are lit, and the smoke rises, filling the hall with the breath of mint.

When Mu Qing heard the footsteps, she turned around, propped herself up on the table, stood up, and watched His Highness the Crown Prince approaching. He didn't say a word, but when he met His Highness's eyes, he still subconsciously He dodged for a moment, and lowered his head.

Is he not yet mentally prepared for questioning? He probably feels in his heart that he has no identity to question His Highness the Crown Prince, but if he doesn't get an answer tonight, he might not be able to sleep all night.

When Mu Qing raised his head, Ji Yi only looked at him, and knew that something bad must have happened when he went out, at least something that shocked Mu Qing, and he quickly passed it in his heart One thing that was enough to make Mu Qing show such a look, finally settled on what happened to the people of Meifu.

His Royal Highness sat on the other side of the desk, speaking quietly

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Mu Qing replied

"Your Highness, shortly after you went out tonight, I was also led out, and I saw something that I never dared to imagine."

Ji Yi said

"whats the matter?"

Mu Qing lowered her eyes and said softly

"How did Tianyu Qingqi kill people?"

Mu Qing opened his mouth to speak, which also confirmed that his guess was completely correct, but this correct guess not only did not have any rewards, but made His Royal Highness feel a little bad, or hindered.

Ji Yi smiled slightly, and didn't seem to think that this was something worth caring about.

"Tianyu Qingqi was originally born for fighting in troubled times, killing people is not a rare thing."

"But what they killed were the people from the Mei Mansion who His Highness said a few days ago had already been let go."

Mu Qing raised his head and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he was so close, he felt that he was far away from His Highness, because he couldn't understand why His Highness did this.

"Since His Highness let them go, why did you want to kill them all and kill Mrs. Mei? They are just ordinary people. Is there a reason why they must die?"

This is really bad.

Ji Yi laughed and said thoughtfully,''

"Bringing you to see such a scene in the middle of the night seems to be trying to create a rift between you and me."

"Your Highness!"

Mu Qing heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say such words leisurely, as if she didn't think it was a big deal to erase the existence of these people at all, so she couldn't help but said eagerly

"Your Highness, is this the point? Why do we have to kill every living human life!"

Ji Yi looked at Mu Qing's expression, and seemed a little surprised. Was it unexpected that Mu Qing could say such loud words, and was he also a person who would get angry?

After a while, I took a sip of tea and said slowly

"You talk to me so loudly because you think I killed innocent people indiscriminately, so you express your dissatisfaction?"

Mu Qing: ...

Mu Qing didn't answer, just looked at him, Ji Yi asked again

"You are so filled with righteous indignation, do you know what is the evidence of Mrs. Mei's illness?"

Mu Qing looked up at His Royal Highness, and said tentatively

"A contagious disease like the plague."

Ji Yi shook his head, thought for a while before asking

"Have you ever heard of dead zombies?"

Mu Qing:?

Mu Qing was silent for a while, and said tentatively

"Your Highness, do you mean Mrs. Mei is a zombie?"

Ji Yi corrected his statement and said lightly

"It is a disease that is contagious like a plague in life, and becomes a disease that zombies will attack afterward."

Mu Qing:!

He thought it was one of them, but he didn't expect it to be a symptom of two in one.

Seeing Mu Qing's terrified expression, Ji Yi thought it was a bit funny. He was the one who came to question him, why did he make such an unbelievable expression at this moment?

"Although it's not a plague, it can infect others. You don't know that Mrs. Mei's temperament suddenly changed. When she came to attack the people in the Mei Residence, almost everyone in the Mei Residence was bitten by her. When she was about to break out of the residence, However, she fell to the ground suddenly, and the diagnosis revealed that she had already died, and more or less corpse spots appeared on the bodies of the people in the Mei House. Although I don't know if they will also appear in the same state as Mrs. In order to confirm beforehand, in order not to let others know about the matter and cause unnecessary panic, I set fire to my death, but from this point of view, this approach did not have any effect, what I wanted to hide, someone I want it to be in broad daylight."

Mu Qing hurriedly said

"How can this kind of thing be concealed?"

"You can't hide it, you have to keep it hidden."

Ji Yi looked at Mu Qing and said slowly

"Are you going to say that there is such a terrible symptom in Chengyang, it's useless to make people panic?"

Mu Qing only felt trapped in a weird atmosphere, and he still couldn't help asking questions

"However, is it certain that this terrible condition has been infected? Didn't it also mean that no condition was found on these people?"

"I didn't find it at the beginning, but it doesn't mean I didn't find it after letting them go."

It is rare for Ji Yi to explain the ins and outs of his actions to someone, but he is destined to have no sleep tonight, so although he never thought of asking Mu Qing to participate in this kind of thing, now is the time to have to talk

"Mrs. Mei's personal maid has already experienced such a situation, so I suspect that sooner or later, the rest of the people will also go crazy."

Hearing such words, Mu Qing felt that she was about to forget to breathe. However, everyone has a natural compassion, and he is no exception. It is inevitable to struggle at this moment, and said in vain

"That's not going to kill everyone, it's just an uncertain guess."

Ji Yi showed an indifferent expression. Against the backdrop of the lights, he was stunning, like a statue of a god who would kill himself for benevolence.

"This palace thinks it is necessary, so before it expands, all carriers must disappear."

Mu Qing shuddered all over. From the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince at this moment, he saw an unchangeable and infinite killing intent.

Mu Qing opened her mouth to speak, word by word, it was extremely difficult to say, but there was an indescribable joy of pain

"But I have already let Master Mei leave! Maybe——I don't know where they went at this moment."
