Daoist, I am not fragrant!

"pat-"

Something crossed a short shadow on the broken window paper that couldn't even be illuminated by the moonlight, and then rolled down onto the broken blue bricks.

"pat-"

Another sound echoed in the empty and cold room, small but ear-piercing.It has been three full days, no matter day or night, it has never stopped.

His gray and disheveled hair covered the old eunuch's scarred face. He curled up, trying to hide himself between the tall bookshelves and cabinets.But the rolling sound was like a bronze bell urging his death, ringing again and again in his ears, he opened his dry mouth, and in a hoarse voice, chanted crazily:

"Don't come over—don't!"

"Your Highness, Madam, Prince—"

"The old slave knows his mistake, you, please forgive me—"

At this moment, as if in response, a low call from the darkness interrupted the old eunuch's chaotic crying: "Eunuch Liu..."

The old eunuch looked around in horror, his voice stuck in his throat: "Who... Your Highness? Is it you, Your Highness!"

"You are really back!"

No one responded, and the dark and oppressive room fell into silence again, as if the rolling and calling before had all become nothingness.

But the old eunuch is still hiding, no matter how he tightens his body, the cold atmosphere around him is still invading his body.

After a long time, so long that even the fear was exhausted, the old eunuch almost fainted, but a hand was suddenly stretched out from the bookcase behind him——

"Eunuch Liu, do you want to taste the newly planted lychees this year?"

The old eunuch seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, as if he had stopped trembling and breathing.

But that hand didn't let him go, slowly wrapped around his neck like a cold white snake, and stuffed the blood-red fruits into the old eunuch's mouth one by one.

The old eunuch's eyes widened in vain, the fruit in his mouth turned into thick blood, pouring into his throat, as if sinking him into a pool of blood, no matter how much he coughed, he could no longer breathe.

He struggled desperately, even breaking the blue bricks under him, but that hand tightly grabbed his neck, and finally left a deep red blood mark on his forehead...

-----------------------------------------

"Brother, do you mean that the people who served the former crown prince were not all executed?" After another night of autumn wind, the old sycamore tree in the Golden Crow Temple added a few touches of gold, and Zhong Tang sat under the tree with the yellow raccoon in his arms. Listen to Li Bizhi talk about old news from Wenwei.

"Yes," Li Bizhi nodded, and swept off the fallen leaves on Zhong Tang's clothes, "The second senior brother said that back then, His Majesty couldn't bear the punishment of hundreds of people in the East Palace, so after repeated interrogations, those who had nothing to do with the prince's treason People are only detained and punished, not all executed."

Having said that, in fact, almost none of the servants who were a little close to the former prince escaped.Excluding the prince's relatives, among the 460 and two attendants in the East Palace, only 17 survived.

"Your Majesty's temperament is really weird," Huang Li'er bit Zhong Tang's jade string, causing the golden bell to ring again and again, Zhong Tang stretched out his hand to tease the kitty, and murmured in his mouth.

"This is a family matter, and the twists and turns are very understandable." Li Bizhi lightly shook Zhong Tang's hand, and sat down beside him in his green robe.

Zhong Tang gained support, immediately hugged Huang Lier, and lay lazily on Li Bizhi's lap, but was blinded by the sunlight falling from the gap between the sycamore leaves, and narrowed his eyes: "The question means, Let senior brother check from those who survived?"

"More than that," Li Bizhi frowned as Zhong Tang called Wen Wei, but he didn't straighten his brows. He covered Zhong Tang's face with his slightly cool hand to block some sunlight for him: "The former crown prince Fu Zhu In the next three years, His Majesty seems to think about his son again."

"He ordered to search for the former prince's old things everywhere, but after the servants presented them, His Majesty didn't want to look at them, so he only sent an old slave from the Eastern Palace to guard and keep them."

"The emperor... what do you mean?" Zhong Tang blinked in Li Bizhi's hands, "Is he regretting what happened back then?"

Li Bizhi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know."

After Zhong Tang thought for a moment, he asked again: "If this time, we find out that the former crown prince was really wronged, will the emperor reverse the case for him?"

Such a question, but Li Bizhi still gave the same answer: "I don't know."

Zhong Tang was slightly taken aback, but he knew that Li Bizhi's words were not out of perfunctory, but that he really didn't know.

After all, it is still the same sentence, the matter of the heavenly family-very incomprehensible.

Thin fingers fiddled with the jade bead string around his waist, and Zhong Tang was not too disappointed by the unsolvability of these two questions one after another. When we go to investigate the survivors of the East Palace, we will take a look at those old things."

There are spirits in the heaven and the earth, and if the grievances are really hard to appease, old things can also give birth to demons.

It's a pity that when Zhong Tang and Li Bizhi came to the rumored Wannian Zhai where the old things of the former prince were housed, there were already guards guarding the place.

Li Bizhi frowned and looked coldly, but luckily the leader was not General Sang, but Eunuch Lou.

"Li Daochang, have you also heard about what happened here?" Mr. Lou gently pushed open the dilapidated gate of Wunian Zhai with the whisk in his hand, and walked slowly in front of the two of them.

"What happened?" Zhong Tang and Li Bizhi were taken aback, they didn't expect that something related to the former prince would happen so soon.

After all, Eunuch Lou is someone who has been with the emperor for many years. Looking at the expressions of the two, he suddenly understood: "The old slave said that the news in this palace did not spread so quickly, and you want to come to see those old objects. Bar?"

"To be honest with my father-in-law, we are indeed being questioned...Second senior brother entrusted us to investigate the matter of the former crown prince." Zhong Tang nodded while moving his eyes, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what happened here?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Lou shook his head, sighed and said, "This old servant was also sent by His Majesty to look at the old things of the former prince. I don't want to see...the eunuch Liu, who was guarding inside, died last night."

"Dead?" Although the matter was sudden, Zhong Tang held Huang Li'er's hand tightly, but he was not too surprised, as if he had heard something that would happen sooner or later.

Li Bizhi's thoughts were a little heavy, he dragged the iron shackles under his feet, and walked in front of Eunuch Lou: "I wonder if Eunuch can let the two of us come into the courtyard to have a look?"

The fact that Kaimingwei was here showed that the emperor had already taken care of this matter, and that he would no longer leave it to the Golden Crow.

But... Lou Gonggong smiled as usual, and looked sideways at the enlightened guards with golden armor and dragon helmets outside the dilapidated Wannian Zhai: "The old slave brought the enlightened guards to investigate the sudden death of eunuch Liu. Daochang Li and Daoist Zhong The investigation is about Concubine Qing’s encounter with a demon, the two are neither related nor in conflict, Daoist Li can do whatever he wants.”

This was said lightly, but only this old eunuch, who had been by the emperor's side for decades and guarded the dragon chair and jade seal, had the confidence to speak so lightly.

"Thank you, Eunuch Lou." Li Bizhi understood the power of it, and saluted Eunuch Lou, and then walked into the Wannian Zhai with Zhong Tang.

People in the world only know that the imperial palace is surrounded by pearls and emeralds, resplendent and resplendent, but it's hard to imagine, and they can't see such a barren place in this deep palace.

Just from the name of Wang Nian Zhai, one can feel the emperor's anger towards the former prince.The square courtyard was full of weeds as tall as half a person, and the surrounding houses should have not been repaired for many years. Broken tiles and bricks were considered trivial matters, and even half of the walls almost collapsed.

Eunuch Liu's body had already been carried out, and it was placed in the cleared space in the middle of the courtyard.

His body was squeezed into the cabinet before, even though he was taken out at this moment, he still maintained that twisted curl.His bloodshot eyeballs popped out, his mouth was empty but opened wide, exposing his old yellow-brown teeth.

Dirty hands gripped the neck firmly, and the gray-black nails dug into the flesh, as if this could give him an extra breath.

Such a state of death was really too appalling, after a hasty glance, Zhong Tang's eyes fell on the old eunuch's forehead covered by disheveled hair.

He bent down, and slowly parted the gray hair, revealing Eunuch Liu's skin covered with dark brown age spots, a deep red, two-inch square bloodstain, impressively appeared in front of his eyes.

Li Bizhi and Zhong Tang looked at each other, then also bent down, just like last time, and pointed to force out the cinnabar juice in the blood mark.

But who would have thought that the yellow raccoon in Zhong Tang's arms suddenly let out a cry, and before he recovered, he dexterously jumped to the ground, and jumped into the half-walled room beside him in a few strokes— —
