Suo Diling

And a thought popped up in my mind.

This thought was so unimaginable that I was really taken aback. I saw Xiao Du bent down to pick up the wipe and fasten it, and put it back on the seat, so I forced myself to look away.what am i thinkingHe even suspected this brat.

Does the leather cloth have to wipe the forehead?Of course not.

I looked around again. During the Spring Festival, people are used to using animal skin products. Leather cloth is not uncommon in all kinds of accessories. Many people present wear leather belts of different textures, and most of them drink After drinking, it was really impossible to distinguish the mysterious person, so I had no choice but to give up and plan to send someone to investigate secretly after the banquet.

After the banquet, the nobles of the palace stayed overnight in Chunxu Palace, and I was no exception.

I was eager to read the secret letter that Bai Yanzhi gave me, and I refused the activity of going up to the top of the palace with Xiao Lan and others to enjoy the moon on the grounds of being unwell, and was "sent" into the front and back of the palace by several palace people In the courtyard of the bedroom.

After entering the room, I hid behind the screen and carefully burned the secret letter on the oil lamp. After seeing the densely packed writing on it, I immediately burned the secret letter and pushed open the window, intending to disperse the dust out of the window. Seeing a figure flashing outside through the gap, I was startled, pushed the window open, and shouted: "Who is it?"

No one answered.Outside the window is a plum grove with mottled shadows, palace lamps and candles on the ground faintly, the light falls with the floating petals onto the calm and frozen lake behind the courtyard, like clusters of will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air, beautiful and terrifying.

The cold spring has soaked through the thick fox fur on my body, a chill suddenly rose from my back, and the word "ghost" jumped out of my heart unexpectedly.

I am afraid of ghosts.My hands are stained with the blood of several of my half-brothers. Ever since I ascended the throne, I have been paranoid. Sometimes I dream that they are holding a severed head, or holding a three-foot white silk, holding a bright red poison. Wine, with eyes wide open and angry, came to me to claim my life.I don't regret it, but it doesn't mean I don't have fear.

I murdered my second brother Xiao Yi in Chunxu Palace, which was also the Spring Festival.He died in the lake in this courtyard, carrying false charges of attempting to assassinate the new emperor, but in fact, I just worry about his achievements and his natural double pupils, which is called the appearance of the emperor.I knew he would replace me one day, so I acted first.

His expression of drowning in the lake is a nightmare that I will never forget in my life.

I stared at the lake, afraid that a pair of hands would break through the ice suddenly, and Xiao Yi would crawl out from it. At this moment, a figure floating across the ice made me tremble in fright, and I almost closed the window and fled. A figure followed one after another. I stabilized my mind and took a closer look, only to realize that it was a person playing ice games, not a ghost.

But who are those two people?Playing here so late?

I went out from the back door in doubt, and quietly approached under a plum tree by the lake, and saw a person gliding in a graceful and boneless posture by the moonlight, as if returning by the wind, and another figure who was much taller followed closely Afterwards, it was as if a follower was protecting the former, helping him from time to time to prevent him from falling to the ground.The two seem to be very close, but they are none other than Xiao Lan's second son Xiao Jing and third son Xiao Mo.

——The relationship between the brothers is so good, which is very rare in the royal family.

However, I don't know if they will be the same as before when they grow up and are exposed to the bloody storm?

As I was thinking so much, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Just as I was about to go back to the room, I saw Xiao Jing's body was unstable, slipped and fell on the ice. Xiao Mo hurriedly stopped and knelt down to relieve him. He took off the skates from his shoes and rubbed his ankles again, not realizing that there was nothing wrong with bowing his knees like his elder brother, Xiao Jing put the other foot on his younger brother's shoulder with a smile, as if he was really a slave .After Xiao Mo finished rubbing Xiao Jing's feet, it didn't matter, he hugged Xiao Jing again, staggered back step by step, and didn't dare to let go when he reached the lake.

The relationship between the brothers does not seem to be very good.

I laughed secretly, when the older brother bullied the younger brother like this, the younger brother didn't dare to say anything, presumably it was because of Xiao Jing's relatively good relationship.At this moment, I heard a series of small sounds drifting down the wind.The sound was intermittent and slight, like a low sob, the cat whined softly, mixed with a trace of greasy and viscous panting.

I am not a person who has not experienced the wind and moon, how can I not hear what this is?

I held my breath, pushed aside a branch of extremely bright red plums, followed the sound, and saw a pair of figures intertwined under a plum tree on the bank, bending a branch of plum blossoms, falling into mud one after another, a beam of moonlight Through the shade of the tree, it is shining on the bodies of the two, which is extremely eye-catching, as if a bright color has been picked out of a thick and colorful painting.

Xiao Lan's sons -- all of them have inherited his weird temperament and hobbies.

However, this scandal may become a bargaining chip in my hand.

I stepped back quietly, bowed my head and took a few steps back, when my body bumped into something suddenly.

I froze all over and felt a tree behind me, so I breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a drop of water fall on my face.I stretched out my hand, subconsciously looked up, and saw a figure on the branch above, which instantly reminded me of my hanged Brother Sanhuang, my scalp was numb from fright, and I fell to the ground, struggling to get out. I crawled back, but was pierced through my boot by an unidentifiable object below me, and it went straight into my calf.I gritted my teeth in pain and groaned, hugged my legs, and the figure above bent over and climbed down, his feet landed firmly on the ground, and the fallen leaves crackled.

It's a human, not a ghost.

"Uncle, it's me."

This low call brought back my soul that flew out of the shell.

It was the kid Xiao Du.

What is he doing here in the middle of the night?Did they follow Xiao Jing and the others?

I breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Xiao Du coming over, bent down to help me, but the movement not far away suddenly stopped, replaced by whispers, and quickly covered Xiao Du's mouth: "Shh, don't make a sound ,do not move."

Xiao Du remained motionless and remained silent, the strong smell of alcohol in his breath only rushed to my face, making me unable to stop thinking about the attack I had just had in the dense forest. It's revived, and it's more wild than before, one wave after another, which only made me feel ashamed and flustered when I heard it.

——I don't know if it's Xiao Jing or Xiao Mo, but it can be said... that she is naturally charming, better than a woman.

"Uncle Huang. How long are we going to listen here?" Xiao Du lowered his head, leaned close to my ear, his lips moved slightly, and made a soft and hoarse voice, "Did the matter of my second and third elder brothers scare Uncle Huang? "

The hot air from his mouth pierced into my ears, itching me so much that I shrank my neck and shook my head, not wanting to say that I was scared by him.

I smiled coldly: "Your second and third brothers are really promising, I don't know what your father will think when he finds out."

"What does Uncle Huang think?" He stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of fallen plum on my head, brushed my fingertips over the edge of my ear, and burned me.I didn't dare to get up and scare the snakes now, and I was tired from supporting my waist, so I just lay down on the ground, stared at Xiao Du's face hidden in the darkness above, and pulled the corners of my lips: "Your second brother and third brother have no regard for ethics A royal scandal is an unforgivable crime."

Xiao Du was silent for a moment: "An unforgivable crime?"

I squinted my eyes, could it be that this kid couldn't bear it?Wasn't he bullied since childhood?

"That's natural. There was a lesson learned in the previous dynasty. Back then, the lonely seventh brother fell in love with the lonely fifth sister. After the two people's affair was discovered, the lonely seventh brother was expelled from Yingzhou to become a small county king. The fifth sister Then you will be married far away, and neither of them will be able to compete for the crown prince anymore. I just want to use your second brother and your third brother's affair to open the way for you, a silly boy. Don't forget, apart from Xiao Yu, your superiors still have Pressing down on two older brothers and one older sister, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Xiao Du said quietly: "Uncle Huang's words are good...my nephew will definitely not disappoint you in the future."
