Xiao Xingyun thought for a moment and simply said: "A few days ago, Duan's house was ransacked and a sword was found. Just take it and let it go."

Dajiang knew that it was found from Master Duan's house.

The sword box was opened, and the inside was brand new. At first glance, it looked like a finely crafted sword.

The sword box is also engraved with birthday wishes. Each stroke is carefully carved and the carving is extremely deep. At first glance, it is not from the hands of ordinary people, but must be made by Master Duan himself.

Mr. Duan is so old, and the maids and ladies nearby are worried about his health, and they all advise him to let the servants do it, but he lights the kerosene lamp and stays up all night doing it, saying that it will take more than 20 years to do it. It's his sixth birthday, so he must make a sword with his own hands and give it to him.

Dajiang didn't understand that such a commemorative sword was made by Mr. Duan himself. Why didn't General Xiao regard this sword as a memory and insist on burying it with him?

Is General Xiao really as ruthless and righteous as outsiders say?

Dajiang said no more.

During the burial, Dajiang saw the words on the sword: Xiujuan, do what you want to do, grandpa knows everything.

......

The harem was in chaos.

Su Miaoye's maid was an old girl in the palace, so she took Shen Yuan to the hidden tunnels of the palace.

"This is what our concubine specially dug when she wanted to escape from the palace. The ground in the palace was almost hollowed out by her," Wan Li turned on the lamp and told Shen Yuan who was stumbling behind him, "Hurry up, be careful. some."

Shen Yuan walked and asked, "Who called in?"

The question frightened her.

Wan Li shook his head, "I don't know who it is, but it's so fierce. We all thought before that it would be best for these forces to fight to the death. It would be best to fight for ten or eight years and die together in the end. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. The team was the first to break out and went straight to the capital, seemingly without any worries at all. This man's behavior was extremely bold! It is simply incomprehensible. He was not afraid that his side would occupy the capital, and the two forces suddenly joined forces to besiege him? I know that the three-legged alliance is the most lasting. I didn’t expect that he could jump out of the war. He is really capable. He deserves to be the monarch. But these are none of our business. Before leaving, the empress specifically asked me to protect you. , I can’t ruin the Queen’s last words.”

Shen Yuan was a little tired from walking and began to pant while asking: "Is there anything special about this man's army?"

Wan Li said angrily: "What's the difference? It's just occupying the land, and then burning, killing and looting. It's been like this since ancient times. Do you still expect them to kindly give you some silver and take you away? You're too naive. !”

All Shen Yuan's thoughts of getting some information were turned into ashes.

She simply shut her mouth, conserved her strength, and followed the evening ceremony.

Ye Jin searched the entire harem and was in a panic, but he didn't see half of Shen Yuan. He didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Xingyun. He was worrying alone in the room when he suddenly heard something moving outside, so he shouted: "Who is it?" ?”

A cold and low shout suddenly came, and the people outside stopped and replied: "This slave was once the maid of Her Highness the Princess..."

When Ye Jin heard about Her Majesty the Princess, he became more energetic.

After announcing that this person had entered the palace, the person walked dignifiedly to the center and knelt down.

Ye Jin asked: "You said you are the maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so tell me, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

The man whispered in a trembling voice: "It seems that the Dowager Empress had told Her Highness the Princess before her death, asking her to deliver a message to His Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang. When the army entered the city, the servants had not seen her. I guess It’s...it’s out of town.”

Ye Jin knew that the words of the people in the palace were not trustworthy, so he paid some attention and asked, "How do you know what the concubine told her?"

"This servant was originally from the palace of the Dowager Concubine. She was transferred here after the concubine was buried with her. Previously, Her Royal Highness the Princess came to see the Dowager Concubine without any entourage. After leaving that day, the Concubine seemed to have given up. I took the initiative to request to be buried with him out of concern, and the servant happened to be going to change some hot water for the concubine's house that day..."

At this point, Ye Jin already knew it.

"Just back off."

Ye Jin knew that the maid was telling the truth. Most of the events she said were consistent with what was recorded in the daily record. However, ordinary palace maids would not have the opportunity to see this daily record, and they would not be able to compile it.

But he was a little confused at the moment.

Do you want to tell the third young master about this?

——"This is what happened." Ye Jin knelt down in the hall and told Xiao Xingyun exactly what the palace maid told him.

Xiao Xingyun was silent for a long time and said, "Let her go."

Ye Jin stepped forward again.

"This...don't you find a few people to protect her?" Ye Jin asked.

Xiao Xingyun stood where he was.

Not a word was said.

After a while, he didn't seem to care at all and went to pick flowers in the hall.

Ye Jin knowingly took a few steps back, ready to retreat.

Xiao Xingyun savored those four words carefully, "His Royal Highness?"

His slender fingers rubbed the stamens he picked and crushed them.

Ye Jin was startled. His master hadn't behaved so strangely for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Follow her, life or death has nothing to do with me." Xiao Xingyun said again, which seemed a bit redundant, not even like what he would say.

Ye Jin felt more and more strange.

Xiao Xingyun ordered again: "Bring Xiao Shun here."

Xiao Xingyun is now in the palace. Although he has not proclaimed himself emperor, he has not returned to Xiao Mansion. He has also imprisoned all the people in Xiao Mansion. He doesn't know what he is going to do. When Ye Jin doesn't understand, he always does what he is told. This This is Ye Jin's advantage, and Xiao Xingyun likes this very much about him.

When Xiao Shun walked into the hall, there was blood on his head and he was crying hard. However, his eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Xingyun fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

Looks like a wolf's cub.

Xiao Xingyun glanced at him and said, "Why, the third brother didn't scream anymore?"

Xiao Shun turned his head away and didn't look at him.

Xiao Xingyun saw that he was like a mute who could only stare at people without speaking, so he sent someone to take him down.

Xiao Shun saw someone approaching him and stepped back warily.

But it was no use. Several people quickly subdued him and dragged him down.

After a while, Xiao Shun was pressed down and washed, the wound on his head was bandaged, put on new and fitting clothes, and brought to Xiao Xingyun again.

But Xiao Shun didn't change his opinion of Xiao Xingyun because of his actions. He still looked at him with strong vigilance.

It seemed that if he was handed a knife now, he could stab the man he had called third brother for so many years to death and eliminate harm for the people.

Xiao Xingyun didn't care about this and asked him: "Do you want to be the emperor?"

Xiao Shun was shocked at first, and then laughed suddenly.

"I'm not so greedy yet." Xiao Shun replied coldly.
