At such a juncture, it is not too late.

After obtaining the child's consent, Li Bizhi took some residual blood from the gauze wrapped around his wrist.

The dark blue light wrapped the blood droplet, concealed the coldness, and spread out like a faint wave of water. It seemed to have blended into the surrounding environment, but in fact, it was invisible to the distance.

Then there was waiting, Wenwei stood by the window of the side room silently, the child lowered his head and hugged the cat boy in his arms tightly, while Zhong Tang kept staring at Li Bizhi's face, wanting to learn from his The expression has insight into the progress.

It took only about a cup of tea, but Li Bizhi's gaze froze and his hand suddenly moved before the blood dripped. Zhong Tang immediately turned his eyes and saw a very faint blue light coming through the window from the northwest direction. And entering, it sank into Li Bizhi's fingertips like a falling star.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Tang blinked and asked, tugging at Li Bizhi's clothes.

Li Bizhi frowned coldly, and immediately grabbed Zhong Tang's hand: "Go, go to Duanwang's Mansion."

--------

It was nearly midnight at this time, and most of the lights in Duanwang's mansion were extinguished, only a few lanterns wrapped in yellow paper were left, which were placed on the side of the road under the eaves, which was very convenient for them to sneak in.

Along the way, Li Bizhi also explained to Zhong Tang that the jade seal should have already entered the palace of the duan due to the child's blood, and it is needless to say who the target is this time.

In Da Chong, the construction of royal residences has regulations, and the layout is basically the same.Therefore, following the structure of Prince Ning's Mansion, the two quickly found the main courtyard where King Duan rested.

From a distance, Zhong Tang saw that the main bedroom in the courtyard was still burning. Although it was not very bright, it was obvious that the people in the room were still awake.

Li Bizhi pressed Zhong Tang's hand, and the two of them tacitly lightened their bodies. In just a moment, they avoided the guards in the courtyard and hid in the flowers and plants by the window of the master bedroom.

The originally closed window opened a small crack soundlessly, Zhong Tang quietly leaned against the window and looked inside.

Seeing this made him a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Li Bizhi asked silently when he saw that his expression was wrong.

Zhong Tang opened his mouth, pointed to the window and said, "Aji is also inside."

The black-haired and blue-eyed young man Aji is just an ordinary servant on the surface, but after the incident in the study room of Prince Duan's mansion last time... Zhong Tang felt that the relationship between Prince Duan and him might not be that simple.

At this moment in the middle of the night, and the two of them are alone in the dormitory, no matter how you think about it, it is unlikely that this is simply a chat between master and servant before going to bed, right?

Li Bizhi was also taken aback when he heard the words, but he still held Zhong Tang's shoulders and looked out the window together with him.

Fortunately, in that room at the moment, the scene that Zhong Tang was worried about did not take place.

Duan Wang Li Xiuqian held a cup of strong tea in his hand and sat on the side of the table. Although the dragon-embroidered robe had faded away, his aura still remained intact.And Ah Ji stood by his side, with his head down and motionless.

With such an atmosphere, Zhong Tang gradually realized that something was wrong, and before he could think about it, he heard Duan Wang's voice coming from the room.

"What did you do after the hour today?"

Hearing this, Ah Ji was silent for a moment, but still replied: "I have entered the palace."

The teacup in Duan Wang's hand was placed heavily on the table, and when the porcelain cover collided, a little water splashed out, and then he suppressed his anger: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to go!"

Aji still didn't raise his head, just walked in front of King Duan, and knelt down slowly: "It was Empress Qing who asked the villain to go."

This time, King Duan was not talking, he looked at the small figure kneeling on the ground, and said after a long time: "Tomorrow, pack your things, and I will send someone to take you to another village outside the city."

"I won't go!" Unexpectedly, Aji, who was always respectful and humble in front of King Duan, suddenly raised his head and looked at him with reddish eyes: "Master, you promised me to stay. "

Zhong Tang frowned. Although he had guessed about the relationship between the two before, he never imagined that even though he was behind, King Duan treated A Ji so badly.

No matter how hard A Ji begged, King Duan always sat by the table, his face and expression blocked by the shadow of the candlelight.

Until Ah Ji took a few steps forward, knelt down on his knees, and called out mournfully, "Brother Gan..."

Duan Wang's body seemed to be taken aback for a while, but he didn't dare to lower his eyes, let alone look into A Ji's eyes, but said deliberately and coldly: "I've made up my mind on this matter, you can go back."

The bedroom fell silent, Aji was still lying on King Duan's knee, and after a long while, he gradually straightened up: "Okay... I'll go..."

He wanted to get up from the ground, but he seemed to lose his strength, and accidentally fell down. Duan Wang subconsciously grabbed his body, but when he wanted to restrain himself and stop, it was too late, and A Ji had already pounced on him. in his arms.

Zhong Tang outside the window looked at the two of them, annoyed and anxious, but... he suddenly felt a little familiar?

Zhong Tang turned his head silently, looking at Li Bizhi who was holding him.Li Bizhi immediately looked back at him.

Li Daochang's face is still cold, which doesn't seem to have changed much for a long time.

But why did Zhong Tang feel that he clearly saw a little guilt from this cold face?

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand something, and looked into the bedroom again.

It was at this very moment that a red light flashed in the room, and it was actually a feathered arrow shot out from the void, and shot straight at the two people behind the table.

Without even thinking about it, King Duan held Ah Ji tightly in his arms and hid under the table.

Outside the window, Zhong Tang's jade bead and Jinling were already entangled in his hand, and he was about to throw it out, but Li Bizhi blocked it: "Let's have a look again."

The scene in the bedroom gradually changed, as if it was stained with old colored ink. The originally dim lights seemed to become brighter, but it was so blurry that nothing could be seen clearly.

The table in front of Wang Duan and A Ji lowered down and turned into a wine table commonly used in banquets, with the cups and plates rolling to the ground.And on the open space in front of the wine table, there was a copper pot with a long neck and a small mouth, and a few feathered arrows were scattered around the pot.

Zhong Tang understood in his heart that this should be the third painting that was stolen.The jade seal was moved by the painting with its imprint, the first two had already been used, so they were thrown into the Wang Nian Zhai.It seems that the third painting should be about throwing pots at a banquet.

Not long after, the traces of colored ink flowed again, condensing into a black shadow from the darkness, slowly revealing the silhouette of a person.

The low wine table can no longer block the figures of Duan Wang and Aji, and Duan Wang is not just blindly hiding.

He forcefully stopped Ah Ji behind him, pulled out the saber hanging on the wall, and looked at the shadow warily: "Who are you!"

The black figure seemed to smile, and the ink around him faded away, revealing the unforgettable face of King Duan.

"Second...Second Emperor Brother." Duan Wang clenched the sword in his hand, there was surprise and disbelief in his voice, but there was no fear.

"Really not to go?" Zhong Tang knew that if the children of the royal family were injured, the Golden Crow might be implicated, so he murmured in Li Bizhi's ear under his breath, but Li Bizhi just accepted it. With the arms around his waist, he whispered, "No rush."

The former prince Li Xiucheng, drawn in colorful ink, didn't react because he was recognized, he just picked up another feathered arrow from the side of the copper pot, and pressed towards King Duan step by step.

"It was you who killed me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Tang was really a little surprised, thinking that when the accident happened to the former crown prince, King Duan should have just tied his hair, so at that age, he is capable of murdering the crown prince?

"It was you who killed me!"

Li Xiucheng had already walked in front of King Duan, but King Duan didn't refute, but just looked up at him: "The matter of stealing the picture of the white crane was indeed done by my mother and concubine. No complaints."

After speaking, he threw the saber in his hand to the corner of the wall.

The saber fell to the ground, and there was a heavy bang, and Ah Ji tightly grasped Duan Wang's arm: "Master!"

But King Duan looked straight at Li Xiucheng calmly, without any intention of shrinking back.

"White Crane Picture?" Li Xiucheng laughed coldly again, and put the feathered arrow in his hand against King Duan's throat: "What you mother and son did, is really only the White Crane Picture?!"

Duan Wang felt the sharp point of the arrow, as if it had penetrated his skin, but he still didn't dodge: "Whether the emperor believes it or not, she did only replace the picture of the white crane back then."

"What about the letter!" Li Xiucheng kicked King Duan on the shoulder, and asked sharply: "That old bastard surnamed Liu has already recognized everything. He exchanged treason letters, and the person who gave him those letters -"

Duan Wangsheng suffered that, Aji hurriedly supported his body, and at a place he couldn't see at the moment, Aji's originally slender hands had secretly turned into sharp animal claws, and looked into Li Xiucheng's eyes , also stained with cruelty.

"The matter of the letter is not my doing."

Duan Wang said word by word, without any hypocrisy or evasion: "If the emperor wants to kill me because of the white crane, I will admit it."

"But if you want to kill me because of the letter, even if it is death, I have to make it clear to Brother Huang."

The feather arrow in Li Xiucheng's hand also stopped, and he and King Duan looked at each other, feeling a little suspicious for the first time.

And Zhong Tang outside the window seemed to have noticed something too. Is the human figure painted in colored ink in front of him really the wronged soul of Li Xiucheng himself?

Aside from other things, how can there be doubts about not understanding people when the wronged soul is asking for his life?

"I'll ask again for the last time, did you post the letter?" Li Xiucheng's feathered arrow pierced forward a few more points, but Duan Wang never changed his words, and his face was full of candor.

Zhong Tang guessed even more heavily in his mind, seeing how Duan Wang was doing, it really didn't look like he was lying to save his life.

Li Bizhi seemed to see what he was thinking, and gently spread Zhong Tang's hand, and wrote on it: "Jade seal."

Yes!Zhong Tang suddenly understood that the human figure drawn in colored ink in front of him was not Li Xiucheng at all, but just that Fang Yuyin.

Back then Li Xiucheng had already been established as the crown prince, so the jade seal engraved with the name "King Rong" could only be kept in the study.

So it can know that the picture of the white crane was done by Concubine Qing and the letters were sent by Eunuch Liu, but it has no way of knowing who gave these letters to Eunuch Liu.

But since this is the case, who led it to Duan Wang?

Little Fairy: Brother, look, that man's face before it was swollen, isn't it similar to yours before?
