withered prosperity

Yan Hai leaned against the door, watching Yun Ji stand on the boat and slowly go away.

Finally, the light fell into the opposite bank, and he raised his hand, looking at the well-bandaged palm.

He raised his hand to cover his lips and nose, and took a deep breath.

Apart from blood, there is no other smell.

What kind of fragrance can Yun Ji smell?

Before he knew it, he pressed his hand to his chest,

Three inches below the center of the collarbone, if you apply a little force, you will have a hard touch that is different from the flesh and bones.

This is another thing he has done in his life, besides deceiving Yunji, which he does not know whether it is wrong or right.

After Yue Liuyi injured him back then, the reason why he felt that he could not survive was because those mixed poisons plus the blood poison in his body were enough to make him turn into blood within an hour or three quarters.

In fact, it was the same, he almost didn't survive, if it wasn't for...not reconciled.

After finally escaping from that ghostly place, and finally meeting someone I like, I have to die alone in the wilderness without a sound...

He is not willing!

At the moment of life and death, what is feasible, whether to take risks, what will happen in the future... He didn't have time to think too much.

I just thought it would be nice if I could survive...

But surviving... is it really good?

Leaning against the door, he slowly slid to the ground and curled himself up into a ball.

The light shone from behind, casting his shadow on the dark water.

In the darkness deeper at the bottom of the water, something seems to be staring quietly...

Yun Ji set foot on the shore from the boat.

He turned his head and looked at the water pavilion isolated in the middle of the lake.

The light there was lonely and bright in the darkness.

He watched it for a long time, so long that the people behind him felt that if he didn't remind him, he might stand here until dawn.

"Pavilion Master." The man reminded him: "Everything is ready, you just need to leave the city before dawn."

Yun Ji finally came back to his senses, turned around and said to this person, "Fu Bo, thank you for your hard work."

Under the light, Fu Bo's ordinary face was revealed.

"Serving the pavilion master is the duty of the subordinates." He was no different from the day, looking calm and modest: "Elder Mei has already called back, saying that he will arrange everything in the pavilion."

Yun Ji nodded.

"Please allow me to ask a question boldly." Fu Bo frowned slightly: "Why did this matter alarm Elder Mei? According to Elder Li's ability, it must be able to arrange it properly."

"Li Ke is from the Mu family."

Fu Bo was taken aback.

"What?" His voice changed a little: "Then why did the cabinet master let him sit on the position of elder?"

"In this position, I can see clearly what he has done." Yun Ji couldn't help but look back again: "The Mu family's hands have been stretched out and longer these years, and it's already getting in the way."

Because the distance was too far away, and he couldn't see clearly where that person was and what he was doing... He felt a little restless.

"The layout of the back mountain of Lingyun Mansion is very strange." Fu Bo reported to him: "The spies I placed in the Mu family have checked around and found nothing unusual, but there is still no way to get close to the ancestral hall in the back mountain."

"What's wrong with Mu Huaijin?"

"I also have people staring at me. Mu Huaijin usually lives in seclusion. Except for going to Tianzhen Temple to attend the Fa Conference on the [-]th day of every month, he basically doesn't go out."

Mu Huaijin is the cousin of Concubine Mu, and he handles all the affairs of the Mu family in Shangjing. This person believes in Buddhism, loves to be kind to others, and has a good reputation among the dignitaries in Shangjing.

Yun Ji was absent-minded, and nodded noncommittally.

"And what's more, Prince Cheng and the Xie family..."

"The reason why I want to enter the city through the main entrance is to save Yin Yuzhang a little face, and the others don't need to worry about it." Yun Ji's face darkened: "There is also the matter of Xie Mengfei, have you found out?"

"I just came to report, and I'm about to report back to you." Fu Bo took out a rolled up note from his sleeve and handed it to him: "I have actually checked, Miss Xie Jiawu, Xie Mengfei, because her mother was born in her She died during childbirth, so she was treated coldly by Xie's family. She was sent to live in the old house in Ningshui Town since she was a child. When Jia Zhongshan rebelled that year, Xie Zhilan took her back. The old house in Ningshui Town was on fire. Zhilan asked people to do it."

"How did she become the female crown?"

"Xie Zhilan originally intended to send her into the palace, but she refused to die and had to give up. After that, she made a female crown in the Narcissus Temple."

"What about Yan Yingniang?"

Fu Bo showed embarrassment on his face.

His expression made Yun Ji frown.

"Master, this matter..."

"What are you hemming and hawing about? You can just say it." Yun Ji glanced at him, suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart.

"Too few people know about this matter, so it's a bit laborious to investigate, but it is true that Yan Yingniang left Shangjing pregnant, and then she went all the way south alone, it seems that she is going back to her hometown to wait for delivery, and then..." Fu Bo glanced at him With a pale face, he said bravely: "I was abducted and sold on the way, and I disappeared without a trace."

If it is an ordinary story, Fu Bo's appearance is a bit strange.

Yun Ji's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Someone arranged it on purpose, didn't they?"

Fu Bo lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Yun Ji was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "It's... my mother, right?"

Fu Bo lowered his head even lower.

Yun Ji raised his head, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

"Pavilion master..." Fu Bo secretly groaned in his heart: "There may be some misunderstanding in this matter."

"Is there any misunderstanding?" Yun Ji sneered: "It's just jealousy, and I don't feel relieved to drive her away. I'm afraid that she will break up with Xie Manting in the future, and she will simply kill the roots! People in the Yin family are not all Like this?"

Of course Fu Bo didn't dare to speak up.

"I thought he owed me, but looking at it now..." The root of his tongue was a little bitter: "In this world, there is really the karma and retribution that the Buddhists say? It's just... Yin Yunni planted the evil fruit, why do you want me to come?" bear?"

Fu Bo didn't dare to show his anger. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he knew it was going to be bad.

Yun Ji has always behaved well and strictly controlled his body. Even though his life experience is a mystery, he is a noble person like a fairy in the eyes of the world.Now he told himself to find out what his mother had done, and had to tell him personally, it was really embarrassing.

After a while, Yun Ji seemed to have calmed down.

"That person in the Wanjun camp, did you find out anything?"

"I don't know if it's serious or not, because it's really..." Fu Bo sighed: "Let's not talk about how difficult it is to get him out, I also used some strength to pry his mouth, in the end That person couldn't stand it anymore, so he said he was going to recruit, but...the line he said, looking back...but it involved the inner palace."

"Mu Huaiji?" Yun Ji asked.

"Really not." There is no one in this world who can hide from Yunji's eyes and ears lurking around to eavesdrop, but Fu Bo still subconsciously lowered his voice, after all, this fact is really appalling.

He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "It's... Bai Guifei."
