withered prosperity

Murong Ji really thought about it.

After all, there is a huge flaw in it.

Murong Yu lived alone in the opposite room, and it took only half an hour to go back and forth from here to Baifu with light kung fu, even if she went out in the middle of the night and came back, Hua Lian and the maid who did not have martial arts would not know.

If the Bai family is so determined, then Hua Lianlian's testimony is actually useless.

On the contrary, the disappearance of Hua Lian made Murong Yu seem to be plotted by someone.

"The king of the county can find out why Bai Lele asked the princess to meet in the middle of the night?"

"Bai Lele's letter to Murong Yu was very ordinary. It was to ask her to meet at the back door of Furong Garden when she was ugly. Furong Garden is the remote garden of the Bai family. The door has always been locked, but according to Murong Yu's lightness kung fu It is not difficult to climb over the wall." Murong said with a sigh of relief: "As for the reason why she wanted to find Murong Yu, no one knows, and the maid who delivered the letter didn't know either."

"This is really a strange thing." Yan Hai recalled the scene where the two of them confronted tit for tat in Chaomu Pavilion: "The two of them have always been at odds with each other, and the enmity between them was big or small, but Bai Le After all, Le is your unmarried wife, according to her status, she is the daughter-in-law of the princess, she can't save face and there is no need to bow her head to the princess."

Although the restraint on women is less nowadays, the high school still pays attention to ethics and etiquette. If Bai Lele passes through the door in the future and becomes the mistress of the county prince's mansion, Murong Yu must treat each other with courtesy whether he wants to or not. This reconciliation is far-fetched.

"Secondly, the time and place of this appointment are not right. I came to meet alone in a remote place in the middle of the night... Even if she has something to ask the princess, can't she be invited to meet her in the mansion in a bright and bright day?"

"Using a strong bow to kill people is because I planned to put the blame on Murong Yu." Murong Ji mused, "Or, in fact, Bai Lele's appointment is not Murong Yu, but a... must be at that time. People who can only meet at that place?"

He just missed saying the word "adulter", and his face was a little ugly.

"However, that maidservant knows about it." Yan Hai reminded him: "She knows about the appointment in the middle of the night, and she also knows that the appointment is with the princess, but she doesn't know why she made the appointment."

"Because she peeked at the letter. According to her, she was afraid that her young lady would do something to offend the Murong family, so she secretly opened the letter and read it. If there is anything wrong, she can stop it in time."

"After she sent the letter back, did you persuade her?"

"Persuasion, Bai Lele was furious, had someone gag the servant girl, tied her up and locked her in an empty room, so, except for the servant girl, the others didn't know what happened, and they didn't know what was going on. Didn't know there was such a date."

"A date that can't be known to others, is it the princess?"

The two fell silent.

The only person who knows why is dead, and it seems like an unsolvable deadlock.

"Is it possible..." Murong Ji put forward another hypothesis: "Someone urged Bai Lele to ask Murong Yu out, and then took this opportunity to pretend to be Murong Yu and kill Bai Lele."

"It's possible, but the question is, if so, who is this person?"

Murong Ji opened his mouth a few times, his handsome face was full of unwillingness.

Yan Hai couldn't bear to see him put a green hat on his head, turned his head and pretended to look around.

But the next moment, his smiling gaze met Yun Ji who was standing in the shadows by the window.

There was no expression on Yun Ji's face.

But Yan Hai abruptly saw the loneliness and dissatisfaction hidden in that expressionless face.

No... Really wrong... He looks like this... Why is Yunji like this?

Yan Hai thought so in his heart, but unconsciously moved his feet, and walked in front of Yun Ji.

He called Yun Ji's name with his lips, and then held Yun Ji's hand.

Yun Ji lowered his head to look, and suddenly gathered his palms together, holding his hand tightly.

"Don't laugh at him." Yun Ji's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people in the room to hear clearly: "He is also quite pitiful. His wife died before he even got through the door. Maybe he was killed by an adulterer. For blaming his sister, this is where the pain of a man lies."

Murong Ji felt that he was really a very cultivated person.

After hearing that kind of words, he could still bear it.

Although until now, his hands were still shaking with anger, and he almost couldn't even hold the rein firmly.

On the other hand, those two people didn't seem to care about what they just said at all.

The two horses were so close, rubbing against each other and whispering, as if they were afraid that others would not know how close their relationship was.

"He Li!" He shouted loudly.

"Junwang." He Li drove his horse and leaned over.

"What did King Cheng say?"

Sure enough, the two people in front separated a little and turned to look at him.

"After King Cheng arrived at the White Mansion, it was useless to spend a lot of talking. The Bai family insisted not to open the coffin to disturb the cleanliness of the deceased. Later, they had to go to the palace to ask for an imperial decree, and Bai Linyun nodded in agreement." He Li After a pause, he said, "However, we and Liang Zi of the Bai family may have formed a deeper knot."

"Hmph! What's wrong with Liangzi!" Murongji thought of the "adulter" who was likely to be there, and he couldn't get angry: "It depends on a married daughter to gain a foothold in the merchants in Beijing. What qualifications do you have to compete with me, Murong?" family feud?"

He Li said yes, but he didn't dare to mention that he almost became another foot for this merchant to gain a foothold in Shangjing.

"What you said just now embarrasses the king of the county." Yan Hai withdrew his gaze, still feeling a thorn in his back, presumably Murong Ji was still staring at him.

"I'm just feeling a little unhappy, so I took advantage of the situation to take my anger out on him." Yun Ji told the truth, and then asked, "What are you doing staring at that painting on the wall just now? Is there any clue to the murder in that painting?"

"That painting?" Yan Hai was taken aback for a moment. "I just think it looks familiar, I just glanced at it a few times."

"Six times."

"what?"

"Since you walked into that room, you have seen that painting six times."

"Is there?" Yan Hai was stunned for a moment, obviously not realizing that he had watched it so many times.

"Have you ever seen a painting, or have you seen the people in it?"

"I can't remember it, it should be just an illusion!" He explained: "It seems that she is only [-] years old, so many years behind me, and I have never seen her before, so it should have nothing to do with her."

"Isn't the age just right?" Yun Ji laughed: "Pear blossoms are more powerful than Haitang, and you are only nine years behind her..."

Seeing his sarcastic remarks, Yan Hai couldn't help feeling a little lost.

He suddenly remembered what this man said to himself one night downstairs in Mingyue.

...It won't be yours after all, the world doesn't allow it, and I don't want to...

Obviously it happened not long ago, why do you think it seems like a lifetime ago now?

It's because... I'm afraid!

Every time he thinks of the expression and voice of this person when he said this, he seems to have returned to that time... Many years ago, there was a time when he was tricked by Yueliuyi and fell into a deep pit by the sea. He was trapped inside for five whole days and nights, soaking in the icy sea water, relying on blood to lure and kill those ferocious sea beasts to satisfy his hunger, and when the tide came, he crawled out covered in bruises... At that time, the most unbearable thing for him was not the cold and hunger , but no one will come to find their fear.

I am obviously living in this world, but it is dispensable, between heaven and earth, I am alone...

"What's wrong with you?" Yun Ji noticed something was wrong with him.

"Nothing..." He lowered his head.

Even if it is expected thousands of times, he will love himself so much, follow him all the time, Xu Mi is unwilling to leave, and has nothing in his eyes except himself.

But when all this really happened, I felt full of panic.

A person who has rejected himself countless times, suddenly holds himself in the palm of his hand like a treasure...

If one day, he tells me that all this is false...then I...

Then what else can I do?

During those five days and nights, I thought, if someone could poke her head out of that high hole to take a look at me, I would give her my life...but she didn't come...

until later...

Yun Ji, do you still remember, when we met for the first time, you looked at me from above, the moon shone on you, and you shone into my eyes...

I saw you very clearly, you are wearing a white dress, your hair is black and long, and your skin is so white that it seems to be shining... You are so beautiful, I am really happy... This one came to me Why are you so...so good-looking...

He swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, then smiled at Yun Ji, and said without thinking: "Today's weather is so good, I'm really happy."

Yun Ji looked at him in confusion.

He secretly slowed down the horse's pace, and Yun Ji did as expected.

Spring is over, the sun is shining slightly on the body, the willows are fluttering in the wind, the horse snorted, and when no one saw, he secretly grabbed Yunji's hand.
