While the Queen's funeral was being prepared in an orderly manner, in the Third Prince's mansion, a corpse whose name was still unknown was stripped of its gorgeous clothes by the crowd as a way of venting their anger.
Like garbage, it was wrapped in only a piece of rag and thrown into a mass grave.
The frayed cloth was torn apart by the sharp claws of a nearby wild dog, and the extremely hungry dog bit the man's neck.
He shook his head left and right and tore it madly.
The man's eyelids, which had lost their elasticity, were half open, and his gray, dehydrated eyeballs had fallen out of their sockets.
Following the bite of the wild dog, he kept shaking, looking sadly towards the sky...
Zhenya finally sat down in the seat that belonged to him, sipping the tea handed to him by the butler with a kind smile.
"Is the mansion clean?" Zhenya looked at the housekeeper and maid who were standing in front of him with their hands hanging down, full of fawning.
"My lord, the house has been cleaned three times inside and outside, the gauze curtains have been changed, some maids and concubines have been dismissed, and..." the butler spoke respectfully.
"Butler, you are a smart man, but it is not a good idea to answer questions that are not relevant."
The smile on Jiya's face remained unchanged, but it made people feel creepy and their scalps tingle for no reason.
The butler shuddered and lowered his head even more.
He knew that although the real prince had lived in the countryside for many years, he was not a short-sighted person, and he felt a little nervous.
"Of course, the 'flowers' in the garden have all been cleaned up, and those with dirty tongues who slandered the master have also been sent away."
Zhenya nodded, and the butler thought that the answer was pretty good, but he didn't expect what happened the next second.
The white porcelain carved teacup in Zhenya's hand hit his eyes hard!
The slightly hot tea poured into the butler's eyes, and his vision suddenly became blurry. He stepped back in pain.
Before he could kneel down and admit his mistake, someone's hand grabbed the butler's shoulder from behind and slowly applied force.
That day, Zhenya thoroughly cleaned the entire Third Prince's Mansion.
The "garbage" carried out from the back door filled a whole cart and was piled as high as a small mountain.
On the same day, Tianshui Tower held a grand banquet in the name of the return of the third prince and opened several charity halls to provide free medicine and porridge to the poor.
No one had expected this outcome, nor did anyone expect that Baili Shun could walk safely down the execution ground with the emperor's personal order.
They were afraid that their actions on the day of the execution would be remembered by the people in Tianshui Tower, so no one dared to appear outside Tianshui Tower and they all took a detour.
Some stayed indoors, while others even sold their properties and fled the place overnight.
When Baili Shun was sitting in the lobby listening to his subordinates' reports, Wu Zhiyun was laughing so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Master Wu has made great achievements recently." Baili Shun said calmly and ordered the maid to add more tea for him.
Wu Zhiyun covered his mouth and chuckled twice.
"It's all thanks to you. They sold their property, and I bought it at a low price and sold it at a high price. The difference is not small!"
"I have many duties in Tianshui Tower. If you from Guyao Sect are interested, you can stay here."
“No.” Wu Zhiyun stopped smiling and said seriously, “No matter how big the world is, it has nothing to do with the Guyao Sect.”
"Xiao Jin helped our Gu Yao Sect, so we will help her too. What's more, you have given us enough and we have earned enough. It's time for us to go back."
Baili Shun was suddenly stunned.
"Master Wu, are you hiding something from me?"
Wu Zhiyun: “…”
"Murder? Arson? Or damage something?"
Wu Zhiyun: "...My dear friend, why do you always think the worst of things?"
Baili Shun: "Or did you offend some important person by defending Tianshui Tower while I was in prison?"
Wu Zhiyun: "He's not a big shot, but this matter... is hard to say..."
Baili Shun frowned slightly. He keenly sensed that Wu Zhiyun was hiding something. He looked around, his narrow and long eyes turned, and he suddenly asked.
"Where are your disciples?"
"They are all in the room. One of them is feeling unwell and has gone back first."
As he finished speaking, Wu Zhiyun noticed out of the corner of his eye a figure running in the corridor on the second floor.
The man didn't seem to notice Wu Zhiyun and Baili Shun sitting downstairs. He held his torn collar with one hand and covered his bleeding mouth with the other, and ran straight to the door.
There were other people cleaning the building, and when they heard the frantic footsteps, they stopped to look.
Fourteen, who had just returned, happened to walk in at this moment, looking anxious.
The two of them bumped into each other. Fourteen covered his head with his hands. In front of him was Ah Qi, whose face was unnaturally flushed!
Fourteen, who had had a similar experience, immediately understood what had happened to his seventh brother.
"Seventh Brother? Who are you being attacked by?"
"I...you..." Ah Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, seeming to find it difficult to speak.
But then his expression changed again, and he asked hurriedly: "Let's not talk about this. Have you seen the little girl from the Gu Yao Sect?"
"Damn it! That damn girl!"
"How dare she do this to me... I will definitely kill her! Absolutely!"
Not far away, Baili Shun said meaningfully, "Very interesting, don't you think?"
Wu Zhiyun's face suddenly turned red, but she still remained stubborn.
"Hey, young man~"
"It's normal for a gun to go off accidentally. It's not a big deal. Besides, nothing really happened..."
In the dead silence, she scratched her gray hair unconfidently, "You won't ask a little girl like us, Aguzhu, to be responsible for such a small matter, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise over there got louder again.
This sounds even worse!
There was a girl named Luoyue in the Fourteenth Family, who was missing.
A servant who was cleaning outside the building heard their conversation and patted his chest to assure them.
This morning he saw with his own eyes a girl in Miao costume taking Miss Luoyue who had just left the building and running out of the city!
No one expected that two women who had nothing in common could actually run away together!
Shisi was so angry that he laughed. He asked with gritted teeth, "Did you see it clearly? It was Luoyue?"
"Oh my, Miss Luoyue is so beautiful, how could I not recognize her!"
The voices of the few people were not loud, but Baili Shun heard them clearly. He watched his two guards run out of the door together.
The man with ink-black hair sat up straight and tapped the table with his fingers, as if smiling. The quieter he was, the more embarrassed Wu Zhiyun felt.
"Don't talk about these little things between children." Wu Zhiyun laughed and asked: "What are you going to do next?"
She could see that Baili Shun returned to Tianshui Tower in a high-profile manner, with the rescue personally certified by the Third Prince Zhenya.
Under the pretext of clearing up grievances and expressing gratitude for the emperor's grace, they set up the Jimin Hall and held a grand banquet.
I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm.
Baili Shun closed his eyes slightly. He was indeed hesitant about what to do next.
"Are you being soft-hearted?" Although Wu Zhiyun was asking, his tone was very affirmative.
"Oh, I never thought that in this Gu Yao Sect, the evil spirit who seemed to be able to destroy the world would be soft-hearted for the enemy who wanted to kill him for Xiao Jin."
Wu Zhiyun clicked his tongue twice and continued, "People with soft hearts are destined to lose. You want to have the best of both worlds, but the other person has to be willing too..."
Yes.
Why must he have the best of both worlds? Baili Shun didn't know what he was confused about.
Perhaps because of guilt, he deep down hoped that Zhe Ye could have a calm conversation with him.
Looking at Zhe Ye's face, Baili Shun felt as if he saw his own mother.
Talking to him was like communicating with his dead mother. He could never destroy the flesh and blood that his mother and that man had born out of love.
Anyone can do it, except him.
"By the way, why hasn't Xiaojin come yet?" Wu Zhiyun took advantage of the other party's silence to change the heavy topic.
"Xiao Jin hasn't come back for a long time, maybe..."
"Xiao Jin has returned to the Lin Mansion. You should wait another day for him to come back so that we can have a meal together." Outside the door, Ling Shuang came in and answered Wu Zhiyun's question.
She walked in slowly and carefully with her hands behind her back, not daring to look Baili Shun in the eye.
