Since Emperor Yangdi killed Chai Shao in front of the palace, the situation in Luoyang has become even more treacherous.For a few days in Xiu Dynasty, everyone was trembling, for fear that the emperor would aim his sword at them.

The Ninth Princess who caused chaos in the court as a woman has become a taboo in the world.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other, feeling slightly depressed.

The day before yesterday, the two pretended to obey Yue Shan, and they also got a lot of news from it.

Emperor Yangdi was fatuous and tyrannical, and did not care about the government. Cihang Jingzhai and Momen, who had been suppressed during Emperor Wen's time, had already infiltrated the court by taking this opportunity.

Now half of the people in the DPRK and China are in collusion with Jianghu.

Yue Shan came here this time for a list—a list of ministers who had secretly communicated with the Demon Sect.

Emperor Yangdi killed Chai Shao the day before yesterday, and many people already thought that he was killing chickens to scare monkeys.

Li Fan's recent actions are really too big.

Kou Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "This old man Yue Shan really pushed us into the fire pit."

He said and raised his head to drink a bowl of wine.

"Be careful that walls have ears."

Xu Ziling glanced around from the corner of his eye, and said calmly.

Kou Zhong sneered when he heard the words: "This old man only cares about whether we can get the list, as for what we said, he doesn't have that much interest."

Before Yue Shan left, he infused the two with Dao demonic energy. The formula of longevity is an authentic Taoist technique and the mutual generation and restraint of demons.The longer the devil energy is stored, the more damage it will do to the meridians.

Xu Ziling sighed lightly: "What should we do now?"

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a commotion in front of them, and a group of people surrounded the scene, which was quite large.

"Old man."

Kou Zhong beckoned, and the old wine seller put down his work and hurried over.

"What are the orders of the two young heroes?"

Xu Ziling took out a few broken pieces of silver from his cuff and handed them to the old man, and said gently, "You're being polite, old man. I didn't give you any instructions, but I just want to know what happened before?"

Officers and soldiers pressed more than a hundred people into a huddle, which was very lively.

The old man coughed and shook his head: "The gardener accidentally broke the flower pot."

"What happened to the officers and soldiers?"

Kou Zhong asked.

The old man glanced back and said cautiously: "These peach blossoms were collected from all over the place by the order of the Holy One. They are extremely precious, and just one plant is priceless."

These words aroused Kou Zhong's curiosity: "No matter how precious it is, it's just a peach blossom. Could it be worth more than human life?"

The old man smiled: "Young man doesn't know, these peach blossoms were all found by the Holy Majesty for the Nine Princesses, some came from the fairy island in the East China Sea, and some were cultivated by the yellow sand eating people in the Western Regions for many years. Unspeakably rare."

The crowd in front had dispersed.

Xu Ziling paused while drinking tea, and suddenly asked, "Old man, where do these gardeners come from?"

Since the peach blossoms are dedicated to the ninth princess, the gardener will naturally enter the palace. Isn't this an opportunity?

The old man thought about it carefully and said: "It seems that they are all local gardeners in Luoyang, and they gave the family a large sum of money when they took them away."

He was a little apologetic when he said this: "I'm old and my memory is bad and I only remember these. If you two are curious, you might as well ask someone else."

Kou Zhong nodded and smiled: "Thank you, old man."

The gardeners, officers and soldiers had all left, and the long street in Luoyang became quiet again.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and already had an idea in mind.

Sui Palace:

Jingque Terrace has been burned down by a fire since the battle in the late autumn ten years ago, and now the grass in front of the Jade Terrace is lush, it looks very desolate.

Wu Qun lay on Yu Yu's back and suddenly said, "Stop."

Her voice was soft but no one dared to ignore it, and quickly stopped Yu Huo.

Ninth Princess looked at it with her hands up, then suddenly sat up.

The old site of Jingque Terrace was already remote, and the Holy Majesty deliberately ignored it for many years, but now the grass has grown taller.

Wu Qun waved her hand slightly, motioning them not to follow, and carried her skirt into Huangyuan alone.

It rained a few days ago, but it is still cloudy today, and the deserted garden is wet and muddy.

Wu Qun's embroidered shoes were stuck to the mud, so she simply took off her shoes and walked forward with bare feet. The soft soil in the garden was comfortable to step on.

A lot of burnt wood was left in the grass, as well as the old things on the Jingque Terrace, piled up scatteredly aside.

This is the place the Holy One hates the most, naturally no one dares to pick up the lost pearl.

Wu Qun saw many familiar things along the way.

Going forward, the weeds are exhausted, and only scorched earth remains.

The blue satin beauty also stopped.

She squatted down slightly, searched through the grass, and finally found the glass abacus that had been broken in front of her.

When she was 16 years old, she sat on a high platform and played abacus, and threw it down when she was bored.Never thought I'd find it here.

Wu Qun's brows softened a little, and her eyes looked gently at the remnant in her hand.

"Why do you come back to look for it again?"

Suddenly a faint voice was heard next to her ear, Wu Qun slightly raised her eyes, and saw the man in the vermilion official robe looking at her with complicated eyes.

Yu Wenhuaji looked at her weak and coquettish eyes, but she had exactly the same weak and innocent posture as before, and his heart softened slightly.

Wu Qun smiled lightly: "I know that if I want this glazed abacus, there will be a hundred of the same ones in front of me, or even better."

She paused and sighed again: "But I only want the original one."

The voice was soft and soft, but there was a bit of melancholy for no reason.

Yu Wenhuaji's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

"Can you fix it?"

The beauty with cloudy temples and dimples raised her head slightly and looked at him with a smile.

The man's fingertips were itchy, and he couldn't help but want to touch those crescent eyes, but in the end he just said, "I can try."

Wu Qun handed him the abacus and watched from the side.

When the abacus fell, only a few glazed beads were missing, and Yu Wenhua and his fingertips moved slightly to melt the two broken pieces together.

It was clearly just a plaything, but he was more serious than business.

He reached out and took two gemstones from the belt of the official robe and inlaid them, which looked even more beautiful than before.

Wu Qun happily took it and played with it on her fingertips.

"it's beautiful."

she said softly.

The beauty in the blue satin was already very beautiful, but when she laughed, she was still like a child, innocent and joyful.

Yu Wenhua's eyes were gentle: "As long as you like it."

Wu Qun's face was stained with thin red, and she looked back at him.

She didn't ask him why he knew she would come here. From childhood to now, the person who knows her best in this world has always been him.

The setting sun has come, and the frightened magpies, desolate terraces and decaying grass are desolately illuminated.

The prosperity of the past was given to a fire that burned Luoyang.

Wu Qun looked at the lonely and gentle eyes of the man in the setting sun, and suddenly said, "I'm leaving."

She said softly, after a pause, "I heard that some peach blossoms have been newly planted in the garden, I'm going to have a look."

The young man in the vermilion official robe smiled slightly: "Go."

His downcast eyes were dark, he turned around slowly, and left step by step on the grass.

Wu Qun looked at the man's back and slightly lowered her eyebrows.

The female officials waited for a long time, and the nine princesses finally came back.

When she came back, she was still holding a rather delicate abacus in her hand, but everyone lowered their heads cautiously as if they hadn't seen it.

Yu Huan has already started to leave.

Wu Qun lay on the couch and watched the setting sun light up in front of the stage, she couldn't help but sighed slightly.

The new peach blossoms were transplanted in the front garden, Wu Qun wanted to see them when she came out today, but by now she had lost interest.

"Princess?"

Jian Jia asked in a low voice.

Princess Jiu paused for a moment while playing with the little abacus, and said calmly, "Go to Second Brother."

Jian Jia responded, and Yu Huan turned another corner.

The glazed jade tiles are dyed a faint yellow, which is really beautiful to look at.

The road from Taixi Palace to Qinzheng Palace is still the same as before.

Wu Qun lay on the abacus and slightly closed her eyes. By then, a few faint powder marks had been printed on her snowy skin, making her look even more innocent and soft.

Yu Lu stopped outside the hall, and everyone dared not make a sound, and only took off the cloak for the incomparably noble Ninth Princess when she woke up.

Zuo Shi stood outside the hall with his fly whisk. In the place where the emperor lives, only the nine princesses don't need to pass it on.

"Where's the second brother?"

Wu Qun asked suddenly while walking on the steps.

She will come out in person when Emperor Yangdi arrives.

Zuo Shi lowered his head and said cautiously: "Li Wunian hanged himself in prison, His Majesty went down to have a look."

A dead person is not enough to make Emperor Yang angry, just because the old man cursed the nine princesses before he died.

He not only scolded the nine princesses, he also scolded the first emperor and His Majesty, cursing that the Great Sui would perish within a hundred days.

But he died because of Princess Nine.

"Hang this old man in front of the city gate to expose to the sun for three days, and hang his corpse for public display."

Emperor Yangdi sneered to cover up the tyranny in his eyes.

Li Wunian has always been timid, but now he dared to insult the royal family and hang himself, most likely someone instigated him, Yang Guang knew that they were provoking him.

The crazy emperor closed his eyes fiercely, and suddenly said with a smile: "I remember that Li Wunian is Li Yuan's cousin."

His voice is faint, but it makes people shudder.

The jailer trembled: "Your Majesty."

Yang Guang smiled lightly: "Then punish the Jiu Clan."

Since they wanted a reason to rebel, he gave it to him.

In the bloody death prison, the jailer couldn't help but shudder.

It was getting dark.

Because the Ninth Princess likes peach blossoms, the Sui Palace is now full of pink.

Even Emperor Yangdi of Qinzheng Hall ordered people to plant a few trees under the tiles.

Wu Qun lay on the table and looked at the candlelight in front of the desk with half-closed eyes, her slender eyelashes flickered in the light of the fire, making her look even more gentle and moving.

"Princess?"

Zuo Shi said softly outside the hall.

"What's the matter?"

The voice was very gentle, like the setting sun in the Sui Palace, with a bit of precious melancholy.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling lowered their heads slightly, but felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.But the opportunity to enter the Hall of Qinzheng is right in front of them, so they can't help but think about it.

Yue Shan did not know how to lure Emperor Yang away, even so, they only had a quarter of an hour.

Hearing the reply from the people inside, Zuo Shi said cautiously: "The gardener is here."

Wu Qun's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was still lying on the table: "Let them in."

The man only replied one sentence and then stopped talking.

Zuo Shi looked back at the two people behind him and said: "Our family has said what should be said, please remember one thing: don't look up at Princess Nine."

"Otherwise, watch out for your heads."

His tone was solemn, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and bowed their heads in agreement.

It was already dark, but there was only one candle flickering through the screen in Qinzheng Hall.

Wu Qun lightly lit the flame with her fingertips, and suddenly asked:

"What's your name?"
