The courtyard was quiet, and no one answered me, but Duan Xinting, who was next to me, heard me calling Lin Chongtan's name, and looked around in surprise.

After an unknown amount of time, I withdrew my hand, my fingertips were already stained with blood, the Gu worm seemed to sense that I wanted to dig it out, and hid in a few breaths.I can't dig out Gu worms with bare hands.

Prince...

If he was the murderer who killed me, then from that day on when he asked Eunuch Shu to give me an invitation to attend the banquet in Rongfu, I was doomed to die.

I had to force myself to think over and over again the details before I died. That night I went to the Rong Mansion for a private banquet. Although I borrowed Lin Chongtan's poems and my reputation was a bit small, in the eyes of the crown prince, my seat should not be So before, there are only four seats away from the main seat.

From this point of view, the Rongfu private banquet is a Hongmen banquet, specially set up for me.

I am a worthless person, but I am worthy of this grand banquet.

Originally, Liangji went to the banquet with me, but I found out that the Rong Mansion does not allow servants to enter, so I let Liang Ji go to the restaurant outside to eat, so after I left the Rong Mansion, I met Duan Xinting and his servants alone.

Who blasted me out of Rongfu?

It's...it's the prince.

It was the crown prince who asked someone to throw me out of Rongfu.

By the way, Nie Wenle was also at the banquet that night. When the prince said that "Spring Night Banquet" was written by Lin Chongtan, he said that he had seen me write that poem on paper.

He also said I deserved it when I fell in front of him.

I gritted my teeth and held on to the black lacquered door. After standing firm, I turned and walked out.

Song Nan and others outside the courtyard were shocked when they saw me.Song Nan was the first to meet me. He stared at my face for a while, then looked down at my hands, intending to bandage me with a handkerchief.

I avoided his hand, "Change to lock Duan Xinting in another place, I'm going to Nie Mansion now."

Song Nan paused, took a step back, and said, "Yes."

After the carriage entered the city, I lifted the curtain and looked outside.Three years ago, on the day of Lin Chongtan's execution, I also looked out of the carriage like this.

At that time, the world was peaceful, with a picture of Haiyan and Qinghe. Now, the sea is flying, and most of the passers-by on the road have bitter expressions.

The blood on my fingers had dried up, I rubbed it vigorously, the redness turned into powder.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Nie Mansion, and I got out of the carriage without asking Song Nan to help me.The servant in Nie's mansion didn't know me, and when he saw our group coming, he was going to stop me.

"This is the Ninth Prince." Song Nan took out his badge and interrupted their movements with one sentence.

The boys immediately knelt on the ground, I was in no mood to pay any attention to the others, and asked them to guide me to see Nie Wenle.

Nie's mansion is not small, and the layout is elegant, with pine branches, green water, and nine-curved corridors.

Fang walked halfway, and I saw Nie Wenle.Compared with the last time I saw him, he has an extra bruise on the corner of his lip.When he saw me, he was surprised and happy at first, then his eyes became more worried, and he rushed to me, "What's wrong with you?"

After he finished speaking to me, he kicked the boy who led the way, "You bastard, why didn't you report earlier? Hurry up and call Dr. Guo!"

The boy turned his head and ran away, within two steps, and was dragged back by Nie Wenle, "By the way, let people guard the door, the front door, the back door and the side door are all guarded, no one is allowed to come to the mansion randomly, no one is allowed! "

"Yes, young master." The servant quickly ran away.

After Nie Wenle ordered his servants, he looked at me worriedly again, "You..."

I interrupted him, "Go to your room, just the two of us."

This is the first time I have been in Nie Wenle's room, and he has been busy since he entered the room, bringing me upholstered chairs, pouring tea and snacks for me, and fetching a basin of water.

"Ninth Prince, I... Let me wipe your hands first." His face was blushing strangely.

I looked at him and slowly stretched out my hand.

As soon as Nie Wenle grabbed my hand, he didn't think it was bloody, so he wiped my hands carefully with a wet handkerchief.I looked at him, and when he finished washing my hands, changed the water, and changed the veil to wipe the blood on my lips, I turned my head away.

"Let me ask you, that year's private banquet in the Rong Mansion,

You were at the banquet too, did you know something? "

Nie Wenle's hand shook suddenly, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.I moved my eyes to the veil, and then looked down at his face.

"Speak up, Nie Wenle, didn't you say you wanted to protect me? Do you want me to forgive you? How dare I believe you if you don't even tell the truth?"

Nie Wenle met my gaze, and after pursing his lips a few times, he half-kneeled in front of me, held my hand and said, "I do know a little bit, but I just heard about it. That year, I had dinner with the young master and the others. Once drinking, the young master was drunk, and mentioned your... no, Lin Chundi's name, saying that he wanted to find a way to tease Lin Chundi."

tease me?

"That's not all you know, do you?" I jerk my hand back.

Nie Wenle opened his mouth to speak, and I said ahead of time: "I remember clearly, the song "Spring Night Banquet", you said you saw me write it on paper, if you don't know what will happen at the banquet, how can you say such a thing? You are good!" Think clearly before answering my words, you must know that I am the Ninth Prince now, and I can kill you anytime, anywhere."

He took a deep breath, and turned his hands to grab the silk cloth on the table next to him.

Seeing this, I grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground, "Tell me the truth!" At the end, I couldn't help but grabbed my chest with my fingers, and my fingertips became tense due to the force. .

Nie Wenle hurriedly got up from the ground, "You don't feel well, I'll call the doctor first, don't be angry."

"I don't want to see the doctor now, I just want to hear you tell the truth."

My words made Nie Wenle stop again. He turned his head to look at me, his eyes changed again and again. After a while, he knelt down in front of me this time.

"Okay, okay, let me tell the truth, you are angry and want to beat and kill me, I will admit it, don't make yourself angry." He closed his eyes, "On your birthday, I bought a gift early and wanted to give it to you." You, but you are not in your school dormitory, I thought you would come back before Taixue locked up, but I waited until the next day, when I saw Lin Chongtan's book boy accompanied you back...

Later, I made friends with the relatives and friends of the young master, and he took me to have wine with the young master.They talked about you with smiles, saying that you can compose poems, and want to... play with you, but they still want to take care of Lin Chongtan's face, so they want to wait for Lin Chongtan to leave the Taixue after the imperial examination, and then, with you Play, after all, you are just Lin Chongtan's distant brother, if you want, Lin Chongtan can't control that much.

The young master was drunk, but at this moment he suddenly sat up and said, Lin Chongtan has bothered you long ago, saying that you pestered him for this and that, he helped write many of your poems, and said that His Royal Highness wanted to For you, Lin Zhongtan also agreed.At that time, I was really just angry for a while, thinking that after the banquet was over, you would not be with Lin Chongtan if you saw Lin Chongtan's true face. "

Speaking of this, Nie Wenle's whole face flushed, and I felt extremely disgusted.

Wanna play with me?What kind of gameplay made them have to wait until Lin Chongtan left Taixue to play?

And Lin Chongtan, he...he...

I clenched my teeth and loosened them. What happened that night was my nightmare. What I do now may not only reveal the truth, but also the wound.Every time I think about it, it's like tearing open a wound that hasn't healed.

If Nie Wen's phrases are true, then these people already know that I did not write those poems, and they think I should be like a clown.

"Is that all you know? Do you have any connection with the prince?" I asked Nie Wenle word by word.

Nie Wenle was afraid that I would not believe him, so he spoke very earnestly, "How did the prince get in touch with me? I really only know this. I know they will expose you at the banquet, but I don't know anything about you falling into the water afterwards. I I absolutely don’t know that Lin Chongtan still wants to kill you. If I knew, I would definitely protect you that day! If one sentence of what I just said is false, then let me be struck by lightning. place!"

After a long silence, I stood up and prepared to leave.But Nie Wenle suddenly grabbed the hand in my sleeve, "You can hit me if you're not happy, don't be so sad..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise from the door.

"Yue Shizi, Yue Shizi, there is really no one in our young master's room, and our young master is not there. He...he is in the back garden, not in the room."

"Heh, get out of here, you people! I'll beat you together later!"

During the dispute, I also heard Song Nan's voice.

"Young Master Yue, please don't trespass."

Nie Wenle heard the commotion outside, quickly got up from the ground, he looked around anxiously, and then opened the side window wide, "Ninth Prince, you leave here... I know this is wronged, but you also know that Yue Fei That guy alone, he used to love to bully you, but now he has a lot of strength after practicing martial arts."

I ignored it and walked towards the door.I'm not in the mood to care about Nie Wenle and Yue Feiguang, I just want to know the truth.

Who instigated Duan Xinting to kill me.

After I came back to life, first Duan Xinting pretended to be crazy, and then I hid Duan Xinting under the pretext of being a bandit.Since then, most people probably thought he was dead, but only a few people knew that Duan Xinting was not dead.Every time I come to the place where Duan Xinting is imprisoned, I bring very few people with me, and my followers are all trusted by Song Nan.

That time I took Duan Xinting to the prison to meet Lin Chongtan, and I also disguised Duan Xinting, the guards in the prison probably didn't know that it was Duan Xinting.

Duan Xinting has been imprisoned by me for several years, if the prince is really the mastermind behind the scenes, if he doesn't kill Duan Xinting, maybe he thinks he is dead.Then if Duan Xinting reappears in the capital, the prince will definitely kill him to silence him.

I remembered another incident, when I saw Duan Xinting and Lin Chongtan embracing each other in the lotus pond, I asked someone to throw Duan Xinting into the pond, and it was the crown prince who stopped me.

Duan's father is not a high-ranking official, and Duan Xinting is not top-notch in Taixue, especially after Duan Xinting fell into the water, he was in a mess, but the crown prince could recognize him in the night.

I pushed the door open, and the noise outside suddenly stopped.As soon as Yue Feiguang saw me, he immediately withdrew the hand next to Song Nan.He stared at me, and took a step towards me, but was stopped by Song Nan.

"Wouldn't the son of Yue be polite when he sees the ninth prince?"

Nie Wenle also chased after me at this time. When he saw Yue Feiguang, he straightened his robes and saluted me: "I respectfully send the Ninth Prince to you."

I was exhausted physically and mentally, so I just walked forward. After a while, I heard the sound of flying light behind me.

"I greet the Ninth Prince." I heard the movement behind him, he seemed to kneel down to me, but I didn't look back. After getting on the carriage, I asked Song Nan to go to the market to buy a mirror and come back.

Sure enough, the face in the mirror was extremely pale, no wonder Nie Wenle insisted on calling a doctor for me.

"Song Nan, come up and talk." I asked Song Nan to get into the carriage, and when he got into the carriage, I asked him to recuperate Duan Xinting for a few days before putting him on the official road.

Song Nan was puzzled when he heard my order, "If you let him go, he will tell what happened before."

"He didn't dare, even if he said it, he knew that he would die if he said it. The Duan family didn't dare to make a scene, and they didn't have proof. In the days to come, I will have to work hard on you. I want you to protect Duan Xinting yourself. Someone wants to kill Duan Xinting, you must catch that person."

After giving Song Nan the order, I asked someone to send a letter to the palace, saying that it was too late, the palace gates were locked, and I would not go back to the palace for the night, and I would go back early tomorrow morning.

Concubine Zhuang Gui woke up two days ago, but she was still in a bad mood. She woke up and slept for a while. When she woke up, she cried when she saw me, and she was still thinking about the emperor's illness.If I go back like this, it will only worry her.I also don't want to go back to the palace to see the prince's face for the time being.

I found an inn in the capital to stay overnight. For the sake of cleanliness, I packed up the entire first floor of the inn.

"Master, why don't you invite a doctor?" Song Nan said worriedly.

I shook my head, "No, you go out, I'll just sleep."

Song Nan sighed softly, "The subordinate just stayed outside and didn't go anywhere. If the master has an order, just shout."

I took a shower and lay down to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep at all. When I closed my eyes, I saw the faces of Lin Chongtan and the prince. They appeared in front of me repeatedly, and Duan Xinting's voice seemed to be heard in my ears.

I curled up in the corner of the bed, constantly reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.But after reading for most of the night, I couldn't fall asleep, so I could only get up, "Song Nan, is there any soothing incense?"

With Anshenxiang, I can finally fall asleep, but there seems to be someone talking next to my ear, but it is no longer Duan Xinting's voice.

"Why are you still crying while you're asleep?" the man whispered.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and grabbed it with my hand at the same time.

I grabbed a piece of sleeve.
