Murong Ci curled his lips mockingly, "Your Highness should spend some time disciplining Princess Duanrou, lest she run to the East Palace every day."
He watched her go, raised his sword eyebrows, and his gloom dissipated a little.
Back in the Eastern Palace, Murong Ci changed his clothes, had a meal, and then left the Eastern Palace through the secret passage.
Because, she received a secret letter from Rong Zhan.
Shu Yuxuan is the tea tasting manor with the most beautiful scenery and the best privacy in the city. It has blue bricks and gray tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and each elegant room is separated by a certain distance.
Rong Zhan had already made tea, when he saw Murong Ci push the door open, he stood up to greet him.
The private room is very elegantly furnished, with paintings and calligraphy and bonsai flowers all over the walls creating an elegant and remote artistic conception.
Rong Zhan poured two cups of tea with a playful smile, "It's really weird today, the sun is out."
Murong Ci drank the tea in one gulp, "I asked you to investigate, is there any result?"
"Master, please take a breath first." His brows were filled with a bright smile, "This cherry Bi Luo is a must in Shu Yuxuan, try it quickly."
"I'm not hungry, tell me quickly."
"I sent out all the people from the No. 1 Village in the world, and I didn't find out that anyone in the family was missing or died, but there was an unexpected harvest." He pretended to be closed.
"What is it?" She was anxious and glared at him.
"Five dogs died, and they died in a strange way, and the blood was drained." Rong Zhan asked gossipingly, "Master, what are you looking for?"
"Dog blood" Murong Ci's eyebrows frowned even tighter. Five dogs were killed and the blood was drained. Is it related to the blood rain this morning
Too much of a coincidence, there must be a demon.
However, with so much dog blood, how did it bring it into the palace and how did it make Qing Yuan's Highness rain down blood
If someone tampers with the Qingyuan Hall, how can they avoid the eyes and ears of the patrolling guards
A series of mysteries stuck in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious it became.
"Master, Master," Rong Zhan called out twice when she saw her in a daze.
"I'm fine." Murong Ci came back to his senses, picked up the cherry Bi Luo and took a bite, the flavor was quite unique and delicious.
"Master, has something happened in the palace recently?" Seeing that she was out of her mind today, he felt that something big must have happened.
"Hmm." She suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, "Did you hear the songs sung by the children in the capital these past two days?"
"Has the owner forgotten that the number one village in the world recruits capable people and strangers in the world? Among these capable people and strangers, there are those who understand the affairs of the world, let alone the affairs of Luoyang City." Questioned by the owner, Rong Zhan quickly He vomited blood, "The owner must have been too worried for the past two days and didn't notice it for a while."
Murong Ci's thoughts were not on this, he frowned and said: "That ballad should be spread by people, you send someone to find out where it came from."
He nodded, "I will send someone to investigate, but if the person behind the scenes intends to conceal their whereabouts, I believe it will not be easy to find out. Can I help you with what happened in the palace?"
She pondered for a moment, and her bright eyes flashed with urgency, "It rained in the early morning today, and the rainwater flowing from the eaves of Qingyuan Hall is red, like blood rain. Several servants witnessed it with their own eyes. Several servants set up ladders to inspect the roof of the hall. Didn't find anything out of the ordinary."
Rong Zhan's smiling face became serious, "There is such a weird and absurd thing. You think it's man-made."
Murong Ci nodded, his eyes were serious, "What can I do to make His Royal Highness Qingyuan rain of blood?"
"This matter is very interesting. If I think of anything, I will tell the owner immediately." He was faintly excited. He, the steward of the world's No. 1 estate, didn't have so much to do. He was extremely bored, and there were such weird and absurd things. Let him study and think, can't he be excited
"First there was blood jade from the sky, and then there was blood rain from His Royal Highness Qing Yuan, which coincided with that ballad. I think that ballad has a foreshadowing effect. Fish cannibalism may happen next." She held a celadon teacup, and the tea The curling hot air formed into mist in front of her, making her little face blurred and in a trance.
"The owner, blood jade, blood rain, fish eating people, jade stealing the country, that ballad should imply a person." Rong Zhan always had a playful smile, and at this time he was rare serious, with unparalleled sharp eyes.
Murong Ci's heart was shaken, and the lake of peace in his heart stirred up waves.
It turned out that he thought of it too.
After His Royal Highness Qing Yuan's bloody incident happened, the ballad and a person's face lingered in her mind.
That ballad clearly points to a person.
She didn't dare to think deeply, worried that it would become a bloody reality, worried that the sky would pour, the sky would change suddenly, the mountains and rivers would capsize, and she could do nothing to turn the tide.
Seeing the owner's rapidly changing expression, Rong Zhan said sharply: "The owner has thought about it a long time ago, but he just didn't dare to think about it deeply. If this ballad is really aimed at that person, then the people behind the scenes will warn you and the court that it is that person the enemy of
Murong Ci remained silent, quietly exerting force on the right hand holding the celadon teacup.
"That person's power has already grown. If you want to fight against him or uproot him, it's tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and killing yourself."
"Right now my strength is not strong enough to fight against him, I will not act rashly." She put down the teacup, her eyes were gloomy.
"In the past two years, you have secretly contacted the important officials in the court to cultivate your influence, but the strength of those officials is so weak that it is really not worth mentioning. If you can get the support of the four great families, you can still give it a go."
And why didn't she know that she had been struggling for five years, maybe she didn't even have enough ability to protect herself.
Rong Zhan was worried about the fate and safety of the owner of the villa, but there was no change in the court at the moment, but there were dark waves under the glacier, so he really had to guard against it.
He comforted him: "Villa Master, the most important thing at the moment."
Murong Ci
Nodded, "I'll go back to the palace first."
"By the way, people from the Yuwang Mansion come to ask if you are back every day. They come twice each time, which is enough for the owner. You can't keep avoiding it." Rong Zhan said sadly.
"Whatever he can do, let him check."
She hooked her lips and sneered, said goodbye and left.
The carriage had already stopped at the gate of Shu Yuxuan, and she was about to walk over, but saw a carriage with a very ordinary decoration on the outside and stopped slowly.
That carriage seems to belong to the Royal Palace.
She immediately lowered her head and walked towards the carriage in three steps at a time.
"Your Highness."
A deep voice pierced the bright sunlight.
Murong Ci had no choice but to stop, and saw Murong Yu walking towards him, covered in golden sunlight, stepping across the beautiful ground.
After the rain, the sky is as clear as washing, as blue as the ocean, and the white clouds are long, like cotton wadding being pulled and rolled by the early summer wind.
"My lord has a lot of things to do every day, and I also have time to spend time in Shu Yuxuan," she raised her eyebrows and said indifferently.
"This king was just passing by. When I saw His Highness here, I came over to say hello." Murong Yu said brightly.
"At this time, shouldn't the prince review the papers in the palace?"
"His Royal Highness meets friends at Shuyuxuan"
Murong Ci directly ignored his question and said: "It's getting late, I should go back to the palace."
He watched her board the carriage, and his thin lips curled up in a happy arc.
The carriage was driving, he jumped into the carriage suddenly, the carriage shook slightly, Murong Ci in the carriage felt the carriage shake, and then saw a person stooping in, sitting majestically on the left side.
She frowned, wishing she could kick him off, "Could it be that my lord thinks my carriage is more comfortable?"
Murong Yu picked up the teapot on the low table and poured a cup of tea, "His Royal Highness's carriage is inlaid with gold and jade, besides being comfortable, there is also a faint fragrance, this king came chasing the fragrance."
Murong Ci's heart shuddered, his eyebrows twitched, he noticed that he had discovered
For a moment, her back was stiff, and her fibrous fingers were quietly clenched.
He leisurely sipped his tea, speechless for a moment.
That glance under the bright sun just now was incomparably stunning.
Today, His Highness is wearing a white gauze robe without embroidery. Under the sunshine, the pure white gauze is like snow falling on a thousand mountains, and it is also thin and soft like a white hibiscus. It has a slight peach blossom color, which is so delicate and charming that it makes people's heart beat.
From this point of view, she sat there quietly, thoughtful, as if she was made of pure snow. Streaming light from outside the window occasionally streamed in, flashing past her dark and slender eyelash feathers, adding a bit of glamour.
Why did he feel more and more that His Highness is too delicate.
Murong Ci knew that he was looking at him, and Murong Yu also knew that she was looking at him.
"What do you think of that ballad, Your Highness?" he said in a low voice.
"The two things happening right now coincide with the first two things in the ballad. I don't know what the lord's opinion is." She knew that he was testing herself and kicked the ball back to him.
"You and I thought of something." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "It can be concluded that the ballad is aimed at the palace."
"My lord, do you think we can find out the source of the ballad?"
"If someone with a heart spreads a song, no one will be able to find out."
"In other words, we are at a passive disadvantage, and we don't know the real intentions of the planners."
"If you can't find it, it doesn't mean you don't investigate it. The king will order someone to investigate this matter to the end. Your Highness, please pay attention to safety and bring a few more people with you when you go out."
Murong Yu looked at him, seemingly caring.
Murong Ci said indifferently: "Next time I will bring a few guards."
Because he was also going to enter the palace, so he walked together all the way. She was on pins and needles and wanted to drive him out of the car, but it was difficult to speak.
At this time, there was a loud shout from outside: "Something happened to Luohe, something happened, someone died!"
Murong Yu looked out of the car window, and saw many people jogging forward. He raised his voice and said, "Go to the Luo River and have a look."
Murong Ci's slender eyebrows frowned, a murder occurred in Luohe, could it be that fish cannibalize people
There were many people on the street and the carriage was moving slowly, so they simply jumped out of the carriage. He held her slender wrist and hurried forward, "Don't get lost."
She tried to shake her hand away, but he held it tightly, and she couldn't break free after trying several times.
Did he do it on purpose, or did he simply not want to be scattered by the crowd
However, isn't it strange and absurd that two big men are running down the street holding hands like this
The Luo River is the main river of Luoyang City. It passes through the south of the city. The scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, with weeping willows, boats and shops. It is a resort for scholars and common people.
Under the willows by the river, many people formed a circle and talked about it.
Four yamen servants from Jingzhao Mansion have arrived to protect the scene and the corpse in the circle.
"Back, back." A yamen servant shouted loudly, "Don't get so close to the yamen for business."
"I told you not to squeeze in, what are you doing?" The yamen servant saw an imposing man squeeze in, and reprimanded him head and face.
Murong Yu pulled Murong Ci to squeeze in, his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, and his eyes were piercing.
The yamen servant saw that he was imposing, and advanced instead of retreating, immediately stopped him, and said fiercely, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
