in the world of murder

The rain became heavier and heavier, and all the maids and eunuchs outside the palace hid under the eaves to avoid the rain.Prince Chongming returned to the East Palace and returned to the bedroom alone.

When Tang Zhi entered the hall, the prince was washing his hands by the sink.

"Oh, my Highness the Crown Prince!" Tang Zhi said in a hurry, "Why did you leave the palace without saying a word? It's raining outside, so what if you caught cold again? Besides, you don't call anyone when you go out." Next, if something happens outside, even if the servants have ten heads, it's not enough for His Majesty to chop off!"

Prince Chongming impatiently listened to his noise, threw the cloth towel for wiping his hands back into the basin, and went to change his clothes.

Tang Zhi also ordered people to prepare ginger soup to drive away the cold. It was almost May, and he took out Mrs. Tang, and followed Prince Chongming step by step. You can't catch a cold."

Prince Chongming drank the ginger soup, picked up the book next to the couch, flipped through it, and said, "It's already ready, don't worry about it."

Even so, Tang Zhi still brought him a thin blanket.

"Did the Xi family send another post?" Prince Chongming suddenly asked.

Tang Zhi said: "The former son also sent a post."

Prince Chongming turned a page of the book and said, "Tell him to come to the East Palace to meet me tomorrow."

Tang Zhi was overjoyed that the prince was finally willing to see Mr. Xi.Mr. Xi is a direct disciple of Jiuyi Mountain, and he went down the mountain to assist His Highness the Crown Prince. It is naturally best that His Royal Highness is willing to accept him.

"Yes, servant girl, let's make arrangements now!"

The next day the weather turned fine, and there was still undried water on the palace road.Tang Zhi personally led Xi Zhen into the East Palace, and looked at the young young master of the Xi family without any trace.

Today Xi Zhen changed his plain clothes and put on a robe of crow green Shu brocade, without a single pattern on the robe.Such low-key clothes suppressed the beauty of his eyebrows and eyes, making him look solemn and not frivolous.

Tang Zhi led Xizhen to the flower hall, the flower hall was decorated luxuriously and elegantly, there were early lotuses in the spring vase, and there was a table for Qing to play with.When Xi Zhen went in, he saw a red sandalwood silk screen with landscapes and pavilions embroidered on the silk screen.Through the screen, Xi Zhen vaguely saw a long couch above, and a person was sitting lazily on the couch.

The man was dressed in a black silk robe woven with gold and dark flowers, and he was leisurely leaning on the pillow, his eyes passed through the screen and fell on Xi Zhen.

Tang Zhi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is suffering from the wind and cold, the imperial doctor ordered that there is no wind. Don't be offended, Mr. Xi."

Xi Zhen pursed her lips and said, "Of course not."

He cupped his hands and bowed down to Prince Chongming.His attitude is very respectful, without any dissatisfaction with being neglected, and he has no intention of arrogance.

Almost nothing like him.

"You don't need to be too polite." A deep and elegant voice came from behind the screen, "Young Master Xi is Gu's distinguished guest, so there is no need to perform such a big gift in front of Gu."

Xi Zhen paused, followed his words and only cupped his hands, saying: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Prince Chongming said: "Please take a seat."

Xi Zhen lifted up his robe and knelt upright in front of the table.He could feel that Prince Chongming's eyes had been on him all the time, but Xi Zhen couldn't see his expression clearly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"The things you sent before came in handy, Gu hasn't thanked you yet."

Xi Zhen said: "It would be nice if it could be helpful to Your Highness."

"Oh?" Prince Chongming asked, "You don't want some rewards?"

Xi Zhen laughed, "Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince's willingness to see me today a reward?"

Prince Chongming asked back, "Is it a reward to see you alone?"

Xi Zhen thought for a while and said, "It would be even better if I could see His Highness's appearance with my own eyes."

Prince Chongming chuckled lightly, without distinguishing emotions, "I don't know that I don't know that I am so important to you."

Xi Zhen frowned slightly, it didn't sound like a compliment.

He considered for a moment, and said: "His Royal Highness is the cornerstone of the country, so it is naturally important."

Prince Chongming's eyes sank almost instantly, he stared at the person behind the screen, and suddenly said: "I heard that you Jiuyi Mountain selects direct disciples, all of whom broke through the mountains of swords and fires. You can also kill each other. Mr. Xi, how did you become a direct disciple, have you ever killed your fellow disciple?"

Xi Zhen suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of surprise.

Could it be that Xuan Yunhuai really believed that Prince Chongming had friendship with Xie Li?These days, I let myself dry, and now I am asking such a question, is it all because of Xie Li?

Xi Zhen has a complicated look on his face, Xie Li, Xie Li, why can't I escape from you even after leaving Jiuyi Mountain, why can't you trip me even when you die.

Prince Chongming looked at Xi Zhen who was suddenly silent, suddenly felt very boring, he put the book in his hand away, and said: "I'm tired of being lonely, you first..."

"Killed." Xi Zhen said suddenly.

Prince Chongming looked at Xi Zhen, who looked calm.He probably hasn't cultivated the ability to express emotion and anger, and whenever his mind is agitated, he lowers his eyebrows and lowers his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.

"Then," Prince Chongming asked, "do you regret it?"

Xi Zhen folded his hands, holding the ring tightly, "I don't regret it."

Prince Chongming's complexion suddenly sank, he sat up straight, his eyes piercing like nails.

"I just found out that Mr. Xi was born so beautiful." Prince Chongming suddenly said.

Xi Zhen was stunned for a while, not knowing why.

"Gu knows your reason for coming, if you want to stay in the East Palace, it's not impossible." Prince Chongming looked at Xi Zhen coldly, "There is no shortage of counselors around Gu, but there is a lack of someone to serve the pillow, what do you think, Mr. Xi? "

Xi Zhen seemed to have just realized the meaning of the crown prince's words, his complexion darkened, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end, just sneered twice, got up and said: "Farewell!"

Xi Zhen strode away from the East Palace, Tang Zhi ran in from the outside and asked, "What's wrong? Why did Mr. Xi leave just like that?"

"Otherwise," Prince Chongming took a sip of tea and said, "Wait for him to lift the table later?"

Xi Zhen came back from the East Palace with a sullen face, and was in a bad mood for several days.One evening, when he came back to his room, there happened to be a maid who was cleaning the house lighting a lamp. When Xi Zhen saw it, his complexion immediately sank, and he said, "No one is allowed to enter my room."

When Xi Shan saw him, he reprimanded him, "Get out soon!"

The little maid went out in a hurry, Xi Shan looked at Xi Zhen, and explained: "This is the original little maid at the gate of the courtyard, and the house was rewarded by His Majesty, so it's not easy to get rid of it casually."

"Understood." Xi Zhen waved his hand impatiently, telling everyone to get down.

The light incense in the room lingered on the tip of Xizhen's nose, he walked to the basin and washed his hands and face, then took off his outer robe and went to bed to rest.

As the night was getting darker, Xi Zhen did not sleep soundly. He tossed and turned on the bed, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a white figure sitting beside the bed.

It was Xie Li, who was sitting by the bed, looking at Xi Zhen.He didn't seem to expect that Xi Zhen would open his eyes, and his figure suddenly tensed up.

"You're here again." Xi Zhen said, he didn't seem to be surprised by Xie Li's appearance, he even pulled the pillow and looked at Xie Li more intently.

Xie Li was slightly stunned, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Xi Zhen looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "Xie Li, Xie Li, why are you still haunted?"

He tilted his body to look at Xie Li, his black hair was scattered on the pillow, "I saw Prince Chongming two days ago, he knew that I killed you, in order to vent his anger on you, he picked his nose and eyes at me, he was very mean."

As he said that, Xi Zhen sneered, "That's it, I'm still a prince, and I'm not afraid of subjugation."

Xie Li raised his eyebrows, looked at Xi Zhen, but still didn't speak.

But it doesn't matter, Xie Li in Xi Zhen's dream was originally silent.

"What about you?" Xi Zhen looked at Xie Li, "Do you really hate me too?"

Xie Li didn't answer, Xi Zhen said to himself: "I know you hate me, otherwise you wouldn't appear in my dreams every day." He sighed softly and said: "Xie Li, don't show up. I dream of you every day, and I can't sleep well. Xie Li, why don't you let me go?"

Xie Li frowned, as if he couldn't take it anymore, he said bitterly: "Xi Zhen, do you have a conscience?"

Xi Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, "You, are you Xie Li?"

"Otherwise?" Xie Li said, "Who else do you want to dream about?"

"Then," Xi Zhen was stunned, "are you my dream? Or a ghost."

Xie Li stretched out his hand, brushing Xizhen's cheek with cool fingertips, "What do you think?"

Xi Zhen cried suddenly, big tears flowed from his eyes, and the end of his eyes were as red as rouge.

"Are you crying in fright?" Xie Li said coolly.

He reached out to wipe away the tears on Xizhen's cheeks, and said: "Look at you, you are still so afraid of ghosts. I told you a long time ago, if you don't do anything wrong, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

Xi Zhen cried even harder, he was crying like a child, he was out of breath, as if he had been wronged so much that he wanted to cry all the tears.

Xie Li's figure gradually blurred, Xi Zhen opened his eyes again, there was no one in front of him, only the pillow almost soaked with tears.
