The world in the majestic rain seems to be covered in mists, and it is impossible to see the scenery in the distance.
Under the dark night, Kyoto was shrouded in gloom.
On the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty's beloved prince was assassinated, and His Royal Highness the King of England was summoned into the palace overnight.
The noble families who returned from the palace banquet were all panicked.
One is the crown prince with many achievements, and the other is the beloved prince who is much loved.
No matter what happened, it would cause chaos in the Xixuan Dynasty.
This night is doomed to be restless.
No one can sleep peacefully.
No one dares to indulge and sing.
No one has the heart to celebrate again.
Because it is possible that overnight, the imperial city will be turned upside down.
Everyone's eyes turned to the heavily guarded palace, and everyone's mind fell on the closed palace gate.
Because they know that once the palace gate is opened, good or bad news will come out, and it will indicate the trend.
The matter of establishing a prince has been discussed in full swing in the past two days, but it is very likely that the fire will be extinguished.
This night is doomed to be sleepless.
Xining changed several teacups, but his master put his hands on the table, his eyes were blank, and he had no idea of resting or drinking tea.
The master has maintained this posture for more than an hour. No matter how much she persuaded her, she is unwilling to rest. She can only give up, stand quietly and wait with her master.
"Is the gate of the house down?" Chu Qingyan asked suddenly.
Xining quickly replied, "No, butler Bai obeyed the master's instructions and sent someone to guard the door. If someone calls the door, it will be opened immediately, so that you won't miss the return of the prince."
Only then did Chu Qingyan feel relieved, and added, "The ginger soup in the kitchen must be kept warm. If His Highness comes back, you can drink it while it's hot. It's raining so hard, you should be careful to catch a cold."
Xining felt a little sad when she heard the words, and her tears almost fell, but she immediately replied, "Sister Huang Yi took care of her and said that she will keep Jiang Tang warm until the prince returns."
Since she came back, the master has been talking about these things, and she feels a little distressed for the master. I really hope that the prince will come back sooner, so that the master can rest from his worry.
Although she knew that once the palace gate was locked, it would be difficult to open it again, and although she had already let Tu Linghuo Ling prepare with both hands, Big Ice Cube promised her that she would come back, so she would wait for him to come back with the most optimistic heart. .
Turning her eyes to look at the growing storm, the raindrops that were madly hitting the window made a crackling sound. Her heart followed up and down, and suddenly there was a slight pain, as if someone was stabbing a needle. Her own heart was like, she couldn't help covering her chest and frowning, as if the bad premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
"Little Princess!" Huo Ling's voice suddenly penetrated the sound of rain and reached her ears.
Chu Qingyan stood up immediately, her eyes fell on the door, just as Huo Ling's body quickly ran in.
"What's so panicking?" Huo Ling, who has always been a hippie smile, looked a little urgent at this time, which made her feel a strong sense of unease.
"The news came from the palace just now that the master was punished by His Majesty to kneel!" Huo Lingyin held back his anger and gritted his teeth.
"What?" Chu Qingyan couldn't help but took a step back and looked at Huo Ling in disbelief, "Is this news accurate?"
Huo Ling nodded with difficulty, "This is from Chaoyang Palace, there is no mistake."
"Where are you kneeling?" Her voice was low.
"Mingchen Hall, the gate of the palace where the fourth prince lives." Huo Ling clenched his fist and said angrily.
Hearing that, Chu Qingyan turned her head to look at the crazy heavy rain outside, her eyes were hot, the rain was so heavy, and the wind was so cold, she didn't know if the big ice cubes could stand it.
"Why?" Her voice trembled.
Huo Ling gritted his teeth and said, "When the fourth prince was assassinated, His Majesty took his anger on the master, and made him kneel as a punishment. Moreover, this is not the first time."
"Not the first time?" There was surprise in her voice.
"That's right, many years ago, when the fourth prince was just born, the master was very young, and he accidentally made the fourth prince cry, so His Majesty made him kneel. The prince came to visit the temple, saw the mask on the master's face, and cried with fright, His Majesty was angry, and ordered the master to kneel, and..." Having said this, Huo Ling could no longer speak, only a cold sigh remained.
He didn't want to tell the little princess, but then he thought that the master cares about her so much, so she should know more about the master and care more about the master, because the master has been alone for too long.
Chu Qingyan pursed her lips, her anger swirls around her eyes, and her heart hurts a little. When the Fourth Prince was just born, Big Ice Cube was only a half-year-old child, but when he put on the mask, Big Ice Cube had just escaped from the sea of fire and was born. , Emperor Xixuan who was physically and mentally damaged really did it!
Emperor Xixuan really went too far and was a father in vain.
These things are obviously not intentional, but in his eyes, the fourth prince is his treasure, and he will not forgive anyone whoever bumps into them.
In fact, Emperor Xixuan's heart is crooked!
The big ice cube is not so cold since childhood. It should be hurt again and again in childhood, that ice will continue to accumulate, and it will be shaped into a frozen person at this time.
The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, that's it!
But she didn't want so much, she just wanted the big ice cubes to come back early, such a cold night, such icy rain, he was kneeling in the impersonal palace, and when he thought of that picture, he felt distressed.
That tall, there seems to be no generation of God of War that can defeat him.
His Royal Highness the King of England, who is cold all day, but softer than others.
The big ice cube that, although always mad at her, softened her tone every time under her coquettish eyes.
She was reluctant to leave him alone in such a cold world.
She regretted it. If she insisted on following him at that time, then he would not face the loneliness of the reunion night alone.
If she persisted a little longer, or acted like a spoiled child, maybe he would soften his heart.
But this God does not make people regret, and there is no if.
The night passed slowly.
The rain is slowly fading.
The day is slowly getting brighter.
Chu Qingyan, who was sitting on the couch, looked up at the dispersing dark clouds, and the morning sun slowly revealed its light through the haze.
The day started again.
On weekdays, she welcomes the beginning of a new day with a good mood, but at this moment, she is extremely hopeful that the new day will come later.
When the sky just turned white, Tu Ling walked in with a solemn expression.
"There is news from the palace just now that the master has been imprisoned in a large prison."
The cup in his hand slipped and fell to the ground, with a crisp sound.
Chu Qingyan stared at the wet ground, the scattered tea leaves, and the debris that Xining rushed to clean up in surprise, and was stunned.
