"It's easy to get angry if you eat too much." Before Jiang Ling could ask, Zhan Lezhang had already given the answer.

Jiang Ling thought about the results of Xiao Shengyun's anger a few times, and nodded solemnly: "It's true that you can't eat more, I will watch Your Highness."

"Brother Prince's riding skills are superb, and he can always hunt more prey than others. What does Brother Jiang like, let Brother Prince help you hunt." Ninth Prince moved over.

"Extremely so."

The topic went around and around, and it turned to the major events that happened recently.

"It is said that it was done by an old eunuch with a grudge in his heart. Why do you feel that there are many things that don't make sense? If the reasons given are true, why did the servants in other places also see Bai Ying?"

"Perhaps to divert attention?"

They were not the only ones who had doubts. Emperor Chongming took strict precautions, and news spread.

"I heard a saying, I don't know if it's true or not, that this eunuch is an old man next to the former prince. He did all this not to vent his anger, but to revive the old master."

"Can the dead be resurrected?"

"I don't know, the news is true or false, just listen to it."

Jiang Ling thought of the token that fell out of the window in the middle of the night. She told Zhan Lezhang that she had stayed in the Floating World Sect for a while, and asked him in a low voice, "Le Zhang, do you know the order of the Floating World Sect?"

Zhan Lezhang showed a surprised expression on his face: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Have you seen it?"

"Well," Jiang Ling nodded, looked around, saw that several other people were actively discussing the case, and continued, "That night when it was raining heavily, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a white shadow outside the window, at the place where the white shadow appeared, Lost a commandment."

"Xiaoling suspects that this matter was done by the Floating World Sect?"

"I don't know, but it should have something to do with the Ukiyo Sect. I would like to know whether the Ming Token was dropped by accident or on purpose. If it's the latter, what does Bai Ying want to do?"

Jiang Ling heard about the Floating World Sect from Xiao Shengyun. This church disregarded human life, acted recklessly, and killed innocent people. Emperor Chongming spent countless efforts to eradicate it completely. Are they really making a comeback now?

Nobody knows the answer.

"The Floating World Sect was indeed wiped out very cleanly back then. Otherwise, I would not have been able to leave that place."

The dusty past can't be explained clearly in a few words.

The emperor gave an order, and everyone began to pack their things and prepare to leave. They came to the palace for only two months, and so many things happened, everyone felt an unspeakable feeling in their hearts.

The Seventh Prince was demoted, the three-legged relationship between the court and the court was broken, and the lineage of the Three Princes was dormant for the time being.

Before returning to Beijing, Jiang Ling met Xie's family. Xie Siyao was busy with the Zheng family's business and did not come to the palace. Jiang Ling met Xie Siyao's father and mother, who were also the current head of the Xie family.

The Xie family showed great enthusiasm for Jiang Ling.

"That child, Si Yao, has told us about you several times, and we have also received a gift from you. We like it very much. Can I call you Xiaoling?" beyond words.

"Yes, you can call me whatever you want." Under Madam Xie's enthusiastic attitude, Jiang Ling was a little at a loss.

Getting along with elders is almost an experience he has never had in the years of cultivation.

Compared to Mrs. Xie, the empress seemed much more restrained.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie calmed down quickly, and after Jiang Ling chatted with her, she no longer felt cramped.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave, Jiang Ling held her script and put it in Xiao Shengyun's book box, looking at the place where she had been staying for two months, showing a little reluctance.

"Ling'er likes this place?" Xiao Chengyun walked over and rubbed the boy's head.

"The scenery here is very good, and it's also very fun. I know a lot of people, Yue Zhang, Shi Mian..."

"When you get back to Beijing, you can play with them anytime you want."

The day of departure was a sunny day, Jiang Ling and Xiao Shengyun got into the carriage, the team moved forward slowly, on the way down the mountain, Jiang Ling lifted the curtain to look behind.

The palace is hidden among the tall trees, and gradually shrinks to a point until it is invisible.

"I like it here, I can come again next year." Xiao Shengyun said.

Jiang Ling put down the curtain, sat back to her original position, and said worriedly: "So many things have happened in the palace, will the emperor come next year?"

The beloved son and the favored concubine teamed up to wear a cuckold, and there was also a suspected revenge murder case, which involved the Floating World Sect. It has not yet been found out. Jiang Ling feels that Emperor Chongming should have left a deep shadow on this place. .

Expressing his thoughts, Xiao Shengyun laughed: "It's not just my father's business to come to the palace to escape the summer heat. Even if I don't come here, I can go to other places. It's just that it's the closest to the capital and it's more convenient to go back and forth."

"Are there any other palaces?" Jiang Ling was surprised.

"Yes, apart from here, the farthest palace is in the north, but the weather there is not good, and there is less time to go there. There are also several palaces in the south. I will take Ling'er to play in the future."

The carriage drove for a day and stopped to rest at night, Jiang Ling got out of the carriage.

The Ninth Prince came striding forward: "Brother Jiang, come quickly, I asked them to roast Beggar Chicken, it is delicious."

Jiang Ling had heard of Beggar Chicken, but had never eaten it.

The beggar chicken was already roasted, and several palace servants were processing it, and Jiang Ling could already smell the aroma before approaching.

"It smells good."

The Ninth Prince squatted down and poked the fire with a wooden stick: "I only roasted two, just eat something to satisfy my hunger, and I will eat other things later."

Jiang Ling also squatted down: "Is this road different from the one we took when we came here?"

Knocking open the outermost mud shell, a tangy aroma hits her nostrils. Jiang Ling's eyes fell on the unremarkable beggar chicken, and she couldn't move her eyes away.

"It's not the same. The way up the mountain is different from the way down. It will be a little longer to walk this way." The Ninth Prince tore off a piece of chicken and handed it to Jiang Ling.

The meat was very hot, Jiang Ling took a bite while breathing in: "It's delicious."

Soon, he couldn't care less about talking, and the aroma of lotus leaves blended into the chicken, adding a touch of lotus leaf aroma to the original meaty aroma, making it even more alluring.

The two ate a whole beggar's chicken separately, and Jiang Ling couldn't get enough of it: "When I go back, I will make the small kitchen do the same."

Jiang Ling was half full after eating, and the remaining Beggar Chicken was shared with the Ninth Prince, planning to bring some back for Xiao Shengyun to taste.

Emperor Chongming handed over the entire palace to the crown prince. On the return trip, the crown prince had to be busy with many things. Most of the time, he was riding outside on horseback.

Jiang Ling found Xiao Shengyun holding the wrapped meat: "Your Highness, I brought you something to eat."

Xiao Shengyun was accompanied by several generals. Hearing this, he smiled kindly and consciously made room for the two of them.

Looking at the young man's flushed cheeks, Xiao Shengyun's eyes were slightly warm: "What did you bring?"

"The beggar's chicken! It's delicious. The Ninth Prince took me to eat it just now..." Jiang Ling took out the wrapped meat and talked about how delicious the beggar's chicken was.

"It's still hot, try it quickly."

The military commander at the side saw this scene and exchanged glances with his colleagues, both seeing surprise and a little envy in each other's eyes.

"Your Highness and the Crown Princess have a really good relationship."

"It was good at first. One morning, His Highness went outside the princess's sedan chair several times. Even if he was walking with us, his gaze would drift there from time to time, young man." The slightly older general said.

"A prince like this can turn into soft fingers, is marriage so powerful?" The one who spoke was a young general who had been on the battlefield with Xiao Shengyun before.

The older general said in a familiar tone: "You are not married yet, you will know when you are married. In front of your wife, that's how it should be."

Jiang Ling didn't know about their discussion, Xiao Chengyun heard something, glanced over there casually, and the general fell silent immediately.

When reaching the foot of the mountain, the team stopped suddenly.

Jiang Ling was playing chess with the Ninth Prince in the carriage, there was not much to do while on the road, backgammon was just right to pass the time.

There was commotion in the crowd, Jiang Ling raised the curtain of the car to look out: "What happened?"

The Prince's carriage was at the front of the convoy, and Jiang Ling could easily see through the window of the carriage that the place where the accident happened was at the front.

The guards by the carriage left for a while and returned with the latest news.

"Young Master Qi, we found..." The guard had a strange expression on his face, not knowing how to describe what he saw just now.

Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince looked at each other. The Ninth Prince knew the strength of the guards who could be sent by the prince to protect Jiang Ling. To make the guards show such an expression showed that what happened before was not a trivial matter.

"Brother Jiang, why don't we go and have a look?" The Ninth Prince has a restless temper, and no matter how big it is, he can't stop his curiosity.

Jiang Ling was also very curious about what happened ahead. If there were casualties, it shouldn't be the way it is now. Among the crowd, the emotion he felt the most was shock, not fear.

After getting out of the carriage, the guards stood around the two of them, passing through the crowd all the way, Jiang Ling saw the source of the turmoil.

It was a huge stone standing in the middle of the mountain. The position they were at just now happened to be in a dead corner, so they couldn't see this stone.

Jiang Ling knew why the guard's expression was strange, because a large number of ants crawled out of a flowing word "death" on that stone.

These ants are all red.

Countless red ants gathered together, making one's scalp tingle.

The Ninth Prince rubbed his arms: "What's going on? Why are there so many red ants?"

In fact, what the Ninth Prince wanted to ask more was why the ants crawled out with the word "death".

"Is it the Floating World Sect?!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly couldn't suppress the fear and made a sound.

"Floating world religion?"

"what is this?"

"Is it the Floating World Sect that was wiped out 15 years ago? Are they here for revenge?"

In the crowd, the voice of discussion continued to increase.

"What is Fushiism?"

Fifteen years ago, the Ninth Prince was still young, so he had no impression of this matter. Later, the Ukiyo Sect was destroyed, and the emperor ordered that it was forbidden to mention this matter. After 15 years, if someone did not mention it suddenly, many people would have forgotten it. shadows over their heads.

Emperor Chongming stood at the front with a gloomy face. He didn't want to bring up the existence of the Floating World Sect again, but he never thought that on the way down the mountain, someone prepared such a big "gift" for him.

The dark red ants are constantly crawling, like flowing blood, giving people a strong visual impact.

Jiang Ling saw Xiao Shengyun in the crowd, and Xiao Shengyun also saw him, striding forward.

"Why is Ling'er here?"

"His Royal Highness and I came to have a look."

Xiao Shengyun glanced at the Ninth Prince indifferently, the Ninth Prince reflexively stood up straight, and said with a bitter face: "I didn't know I would see such a scene."

He now hates himself for being so curious. Seeing such a scene, he will definitely have nightmares when he goes back!
