The night was dark, and the entire Jinling Kyoto was shrouded in silence.

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, knocks on the door with different rhythms rang three times in succession, and then fell silent again.

The man took back his hand, pressed down the conical hat, and wrapped himself tightly.

Not long after, there was only a creaking sound, the door was opened a small crack from the inside, and then a hand was stretched out and a piece of paper was handed out.

……

Following the words on the note, the man left the city and came to the suburbs.

The suburbs are extremely desolate, except for the withered grass reaching a person's waist, and there are only a few dilapidated tombs.

In the distance, it seems that a deserted courtyard can be vaguely seen.

Perhaps someone had paid homage not long ago. Along the way, I could see a few pieces of paper money from time to time.

Then under the faint light of the lantern, the man looked carefully at the place on the note, confirming again and again that he really had not gone wrong.

Everything in front of him looked a little strange and weird. The man's hand holding the lantern couldn't help but tighten one after another, and his breathing became turbid.

Thinking about the purpose of coming this time, the man calmed down a little, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward.

After about a moment, the man finally walked to the yard.

I don’t know how long this place has been abandoned. The door at the entrance of the courtyard can no longer be closed. The patina-covered lock hangs alone on the door and sways in the wind. From time to time, you can see a few spiders crawling over the door.

It was windy in the suburbs, and the door kept shaking, and there was a series of obscure creaking sounds.

The man hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door gently.

It wasn't until he entered the courtyard that the man relaxed a little.

It was still dark, and in total darkness, only a few candlelights were faintly revealed from inside the house.

Through the shattered window, the man held his breath and peered in, only to see a man with disheveled hair being firmly imprisoned on the torture rack behind him.

Although she couldn't see the face clearly, judging from the figure and size, there was no doubt that he was the person she was looking for.

The man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking around, the man didn't hesitate at all and threw the lantern he was holding on to the dead grass growing wildly in the courtyard.

soon……

soon……

There will be a raging fire here and it will be burned to the ground.

No matter what the house, no matter what the person, they will only be mute who can no longer speak.

When the truth is silenced, there is no longer any threat.

The wind roared, and two-meter-high flames shot up behind the man.

She walked out the door without stopping, not once looking back.

……

After letting go of the heavy burden on his mind, the man's steps became much lighter.

But not too far forward, I saw a group of black crows suddenly making a hoarse and unpleasant cry, heading straight towards this direction like missiles.

After Kankan dodged the crow, the man couldn't help but shake his robe, and couldn't help but curse bad luck in his heart.

What a surprise, why did I suddenly encounter so many crows?

After she managed to suppress the displeasure in her heart, she looked up again and saw that the scene around her had changed.

Large tracts of paper money flew down from the sky, and some were even blown directly into the flames behind the man by the wind, and turned into ashes in an instant.

And at some point, there were many white lanterns appearing on the ground around them. The lanterns glowed with a blue light, like pairs of eyes, staring at people with nowhere to hide.

"Mu Yun, you're finally here." When the man was stunned, a cold body pressed against the man's back. Although the faint voice was not high, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in an instant. She completely lost her mind.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the person called Mu Yun suddenly ran forward.

Stumbling along the way, she didn't even dare to look back.

But from time to time, a faint female voice came to her ears, and the sound of "Muyun, Muyun" was everywhere, trapping her in a ball like a reminder.

Ahead, large swaths of paper money flew towards her.

"Muyun, you and I are such good sisters. Why did you, the queen, cruelly burn my child to death?" The questioning voice completely destroyed the queen's few sanity.

Her legs and feet went weak, and the queen suddenly fell to the ground.

"Yingge, Yingge! I didn't mean it! I really have no other choice!" The queen held her head and cried hoarsely.

"Leave me alone!"

"Let you go, but where is my child?" The weird laughter seemed extremely penetrating in the wilderness.

"Mu Yun, please look up at me!" The voice got closer and closer, and a pair of feet suddenly stopped in front of the queen.

The queen raised her eyelids back slightly, and when she saw the purple and green insteps in front of her, she finally fainted from shock.

Jing Ling: "..." No, are you dizzy now? ?

Half an hour to prepare and 5 minutes of acting?

Blood loss!

Jing Ling jumped down from mid-air, shivering with cold.

Damn it, she actually put in so much for acting, it would be unjustifiable not to award her the Best Actor Award!

The system couldn't help complaining.

It’s such a cold day, if you don’t wear socks or shoes, who will it be if you don’t freeze, little sister?

Jing Ling sniffed and looked back at Meng Rongzhen, who had an unpredictable look. After all, she didn't say anything and consciously took out her shoes and put them on.

Although I knew the villain was miserable, I didn't expect it to be this miserable.

If she hadn't arrived earlier, these dogs would have burned Meng Rongzhen to death.

Thinking about it this way, both the original owner and the villain are stabbing someone in the heart by someone they trust.

I’m afraid only the person involved knows how painful my heart is.

Jing Ling sighed helplessly, ordered his servants to drag the unconscious queen back, and then left quietly.

Everyone has a past that they don't want others to talk about, and she respects his sadness.

At some point, drizzle started to fall from the sky.

The raindrops fell in patter, wetting the man's somewhat depressed face.

Meng Rongzhen finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees suddenly.

Prime Minister Shi's explanation was still clear in his ears, but before he could recover, he heard the secret signal agreed between Prime Minister Shi and the Queen.

Until he handed the note through the crack of the door, he still had a glimmer of hope.

That was his aunt, the aunt who had been taking care of him since his mother's absence.

She was an aunt who was once a close friend of her mother.

He couldn't believe that this was planned by his aunt herself.

While he pretended to be trapped in the house, his aunt lit the fire in an attempt to kill him silently.

At that moment, Meng Rongzhen felt as if a piece of his heart had been cruelly dug out.

For more than 20 years, his heart has actually been small.

Before that, he didn't have a girl he liked, but he had family members to protect and cherish, uncles, aunts, and friends he could trust. Even though he didn't like Shi Qiaoyun, he objectively appreciated Shi Qiaoyun's talent and learning. They had grown up together since childhood. Big, she is his trustworthy friend.

Now, these trustworthy people have betrayed him one by one.

Fishing for fame and reputation is for the sake of future; a loving mother and a filial son are for the sake of the throne.

I am afraid that my grandfather is the only one who would put him first at all times.

But where is grandfather?

where is it?

Out of grief, Meng Rongzhen felt pain in his chest. When he wanted to open his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Meng Rongzhen fainted and fell to the ground, gradually closing his eyes.
