When the daylight shines, the blood in the palace dissipates.

Wen Yan sat under a five-cornered gazebo, the shadows swaying along the hanging gauze curtains.She was half leaning on the railing, and Dudu had asked someone to remove this part of the curtain long ago. Wen Yan leaned out from the top floor, so that she could look at the lotus pond below through the undecorated gap.

There are lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and water in the lotus pond.

Wen Yan glanced at the water.

The water color is shimmering, and it can be seen through at a glance. It should be drawn from the flowing water at a glance.

There are also a few koi inside, usually lazy at the bottom of the water and do not move much, Wen Yan holds a handful of fish food in his hand, she wants to feed them some bait, she loosens her hand, and the food is full from it She spread out to the surface of the water between her hands.

The water rippled immediately, and those fat-headed fish opened their mouths wide and chased after the food as if smelling fishy.

The calm water surface began to move violently.

Wen Yan lowered her eyes, and her hands were dangling outside empty-handed.The few koi in sight were of unknown species, but they were extremely ferocious when fighting for food.In the blink of an eye, a few slower ones had already started to snatch the remnants from their companions' mouths.

She suddenly understood where the bite marks on the fish's mouth came from.

Wen Yan covered his face and smiled helplessly.

The prince walked through the promenade, passing the misty veil all around, and he walked all the way to the steps of the gazebo.

"Your Highness." He called first.

She didn't answer gently, she was still happy, her brows were raised half high, and it seemed that she would not be able to calm down for a while.

Wang Defu's waist dropped a little more.

"Xu Mingli's booklet from the Ministry of Rites has been sent over there, Your Highness, please take a look." Wang Gonggong steadily handed over a half-folded white paper from the sleeve robe, and some ink marks could be faintly seen through the light-transmitting gap.

Wen Yan hooked his fingers, and Wang Defu humbly sent the paper to that hand.

When Wen Yan took it, he tossed the paper in the air, and the folded and folded marks were flattened and landed on her lap.Like a swallow that landed on the ground, she pinched the corner of the crease with two fingers and turned it over.

Wen Yan has the habit of looking at ten lines at a glance, the fish food probably just passed the koi's mouth, but when she looked up again, the thousand words had already been read.

"These things are very boring. Father-in-law, you know, this king doesn't want these things."

Wen Yan's eyes moved from the paper to the arched back of the person in front of her. She stared at the dark fabric, probably because of the medicine she had taken not long ago. She spoke slowly and articulately, every short sentence Afterwards, there was a trailing sound, which hit people's ears little by little, with a weird rhyme.

"The servant knows."

Wen Yan nodded slightly, and she gathered some of her outer robes. It was neither too cold nor too hot, but the gazebo was ventilated all around, so there was no shelter.The queen mother specially sent some suitable clothes to keep Wang An's warmth.

"So, if Xu Shangshu still can't explain something, it will be difficult for the king to do things."

When walking down the last step, Wang Defu was stuck behind a sentence. When speaking, especially this sentence, the tone of Wen Yan was light and slow.

"If you still can't pass the trial, just copy it." Wang Defu's heart chilled.

"This sentence, Wang Yun, you bring to Xu Shangshu."

The manager's father-in-law lowered his eyebrows and respectfully answered "No."

After lunch, Wen Yan took a short rest. She fell asleep in the dormitory where she lived since she was a child. Someone was arranged to clean it every day, so in terms of cleanliness, it was no worse than other dorms.

Wen Yan crossed his hands on the quilt, and his fingertips were moving on the back of his hands.She pressed back and forth between the protruding and concave ends of the finger bones, and she counted the numbers in the dark again, the effect was very good, Wen Yan's heartbeat finally calmed down.

But Wen Yan found that he couldn't sleep again.

It can't be that counting numbers can make people mentally effective, the girl curled her lips, she was surprised by her own weird idea.

She stayed up in the corner for two days and two nights, but now she is on the bed Wen Yan is still sober with her eyes closed.

Open eyes are black, closed eyes are black, it seems that even the light and sound have become black.

Until there was a sound from the end of the darkness.

Wen Yan tilted her head and looked at the side of the bed. Luo Hanjue had already taken off her dusty robe. Although she had just finished taking a bath, her whole body was very clean.

When a strand of black hair dangled over, Wen Yan stretched out her hand to catch it, she kneaded it, and the soft hair slipped from her hand like satin.

Dry and dry, clear and refreshing.

But Wen Yan could feel the presence of heat and humidity, which was the same as when Luo Hanjue blindfolded her that day.

A faint fragrance appeared in the space of the bed.

Wen Yan moved his body inside, lifted the warm quilt she had covered, and generously shared his bed and bed space with the visitor.

Luo Hanjue pinched and folded the corners of the quilt, and then probed behind the person inside, and she found a large blank space, she frowned, Wen Yan put her arms around him to please him, "Is it warm? I've been waiting for you for a long time, why don't you take a bath in the palace and insist on going back to the mansion, aren't you tired from running around?"

Luo Hanjue was blocked by such words, she looked into the girl's eyes twice, and knew that it was useless for her to say those things now.

She just said, "Sleep. I'll be by your side."

Luo Hanjue softened her voice, passed through the girl's slender body, and patted Wen Yan's back awkwardly.

She didn't know if she was doing right or not, but her mother always treated her like this when she was a child, patting her while humming nursery rhymes.

Once Mrs. An did this, Luo Hanjue's drowsiness would always come back quickly, and she thought it was a wonderful feeling.When she could really comfort someone in the same way, Luo Hanjue felt distressed again.

Comforting her in this way, Luo Hanjue opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

"What about you?" Wen Yan's eyelids suddenly dropped, and he was caught off guard by the sleepiness.She arched her head between Luo Hanjue's shoulders and neck, the warmth of the woman's body, the tightness of the quilt, and the narrowness of the dark space.These can make Wen Yan relax.

"Will you be there when I wake up?"

In the end, she didn't wait for an answer, and sleepiness had dragged her down the pond.

She became a fish in Luo Hanjue's hands, being gently comforted.

When the time came, she sat up from the bed, the temperature beside the bed had already dissipated, and at the same time, footsteps fell at the door of the bedroom.

Wen Yan looked out, her eyes were calm, maybe she already knew that the fish in this muddy water would not let her get everything she wanted to know so easily.

Liu Indigo brought the Nanman people's request for a peace meeting.

"Aruda is now asking to start meeting the requirements of the peace agreement."

Wen Yan didn't read the notebook specially written by the prairie man, she just listened to the dictation brought back by the dark guard.

"Let the people of the mission deal with them. Isn't the matter of the Nanban already at the final stage? What else do they want to get in touch with at this time? They feel that those conditions are not enough. They are greedy and want to give their own grassland more sheep. Eat grass, the chassis of people driving sheep?"

After talking so much, Wen Yan suddenly stopped her hands of tying her hair. With the hair tie in her mouth, she asked vaguely, "Who gave you that booklet."

"It's one of Aruda's attendants."

"Didn't he come to hand over in person?"

Liu Di denied, "No, what I saw was a man in black talking with the envoy. I recognize that man. He was the one who followed Aruda when he was in the city."

"My subordinates heard that the southern barbarians called him a priest."

Wen Yan tied up his hair rope, and suddenly smiled at the mirror in front of him.

"My emperor in Daliang is still lying on the couch and hanged by the imperial physician, how can he have the time to take care of these things." Wen Yan's voice was cold, so at this moment, her smile made people feel chills.

Liu Di received the order and was just about to go out.With hurried steps approaching the sleeping hall, Wen Yan walked out of the hall.

The person who came was the city guard.

He said the dark prison was broken.

Wen Yan's expression finally changed.

Luo Hanjue stood outside her room door, and the door in front of her opened, but Luo Hanjue didn't seem to intend to go in.

The room was very dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly. There seemed to be a black shadow beside the table, which made it even more blurry.

Luo Hanjue stared at the darkness there until the moonlight passed through the gaps in the window sills. The moonlight was warm and cool, and there was nowhere to hide in that shadowy corner. There was no one else in the room.

Only then did Luo Hanjue walk to the wooden table, and she saw clearly the sudden object that should not have appeared. After Luo Hanjue looked at it quietly for a while, she slowly picked up the object and aimed it at the brightest moonlight. The place.

The blue color of jade reflects the moving lake, but the red lines are entrenched on the streamlines of the surface like mottled.

A piece of jade, a piece of beautiful jade with flaws.

Luo Hanjue rubbed it in his hand, the hard and cold texture became warm after being rubbed slowly for a few rounds.I don't know if it was Luo Hanjue's illusion, she felt that the jade piece became softer and softer in her hands.

So she lowered her head and took a second look.

Still the same as before, familiar texture, familiar color, familiar texture.

Luo Hanjue was in a daze, and she slowly sat on the chair propping up the corner of the table.It seemed that everything was so familiar. Standing in this place where she grew up and took root, the surrounding air made her feel suffocated for the first time.

why?

"Why are you here?" Luo Hanjue lowered his head and spoke out.

She seemed to have seen something that would never have happened, otherwise Luo Hanjue wouldn't have stubbornly repeated "why" over and over again.

The person she lowered her head to question seemed to be asking Yu, why did you appear here?

Luo Hanjue was so puzzled that she was a little at a loss. "Obviously I put it in with my own hands, you can't... you shouldn't be here."

She clenched the piece of jade tightly, her pale eyes fell on those cracks, as if she looked at it, the longer she looked at it, the more Luo Hanjue's confusion would be resolved.

But of course no one could answer her confusion, she was the only one in the empty room from beginning to end.

If Luo Hanjue hadn't been in the palace an hour later, she might have caught a suspect who wantedonly entered and left the general's mansion.

Maybe she'll find out who dug up her parents' graves.

And who put this piece of her father's only relic grandly on her desk.

At dawn, the homing pigeons streaked across the mist in the sky, bringing white to a room slightly dyed by candlelight.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the general's mansion.

Lin Xian was wearing armor and walking in a hurry. He brought bad news.

He obviously ran over, and when he came to Luo Hanjue, his breath was a little unsteady.

Lin Xian said directly: "General, something happened."

Luo Hanjue raised her head slowly, and she sat withered all night, at this table, on this armchair.

Like a traveler in the desert who hasn't had water for a long time, Luo Hanjue asked in a shy voice, "What's the matter."

"The dark prison is broken." The young man said in a deep voice, "The brothers in the barracks went to change shifts a little earlier, and there was no one guarding the door and no one responded. When they got inside, all the guarding soldiers were wiped off their necks. But after confirming, There are still people in there."

"How much can you get in?"

Lin Xian thought for a while, "All the entrances and exits in the city have been sealed off, and the locks on the outermost circle of doors have been broken. The criminals are already under arrest, and it was Qin Zan who led them."

Luo Hanjue twitched the corners of his mouth, his gaze condensed: "Where's the innermost layer?"

The moment Lin Xian's eyes met, Luo Hanjue understood the meaning of the young man's words.

She leaned back, and the back chair made a little "creak, creak" sound, which is not surprising, this rattan chair has been placed here since she was the youngest.It stands to reason that Luo Hanjue's fraction may not be worth the age of this object.

Luo Hanjue let out a long breath.

When he opened his eyes again, those purple eyes were astonishingly bright.

"Come on, gather the people together,"

Following behind Luo Hanjue, Lin Xian's eyes never left Luo Hanjue's back.He stood still for a long time, and he stopped observing Luo Hanjue's state until the horse riding started.

Disappeared, from the exhaustion he saw at first, the downcast look on Luo Hanjue's body has completely disappeared.

They rode their horses all the way to the place where they were held in the dark prison, deviated from all the sleeping people, and drove all the way to a black iron gate.

The continuous torches lit up half the sky red.

Everyone looked at the woman who jumped off the horse, with weapons, armor, horses, everything.

Luo Hanjue stared at the hollow in front of him, no one could see the bottom of the black stone wall at a glance.The wind blowing from inside seemed to have a bit of a strange aura, like the neighing of a snake.

Everything in the dark cell is uncomfortable.

she says.

"Break it up."
