New Year's Eve.

Today's New Year's Eve, a heavy snow fell during the day, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground at night.

Ming Ciyi asked those who had returned home to go back to celebrate the New Year with their own families, and those who did not return home to have New Year's Eve dinner with him.

Yuebai and other people cooked a table of dishes, which were very sumptuous.

When it was time for dinner, Ming Ciyi didn't bother to wait for the food from the palace, but only signaled everyone to start eating.

Ji Changshu probably won't be able to come tonight, after all, he must attend the New Year's Eve dinner in the palace.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, the eunuch who delivered food from the palace came.

The eunuch smiled and bowed to Ming Ciyi: "Master, this is the dish His Majesty bestowed on you today."

Ming Ciyi smiled: "Please, father-in-law, make a trip."

"Where does the national teacher say that?" The eunuch smiled and said, "This is our duty."

He paused: "By the way, the prince still dragged us to bring you a word."

Ming Ciyi signaled him to continue, and the eunuch said: "The prince said that he will come to you later."

Ming Ciyi's face was slightly hot, but his heart was unbelievably warm. He coughed lightly: "Okay, I'll wait for him."

He didn't say anything to tell Ji Changshu to stop running around, and he didn't ask Ji Changshu to stay in the palace to accompany his imperial brother.

Because Ming Ciyi himself really wanted to see Ji Changshu.

He is the kind of person who would never make trouble for others if he wanted something.

The eunuch was a little surprised by the eloquent answer, but still smiled and said: "Yes, the slave will help the national teacher to convey it."

After the eunuch left, Ming Ciyi and the others had the New Year's Eve dinner, and Ji Changshu was still there.

Ming Ciyi reckoned that he would at least come after watching the new year with Emperor Yinwen, so he called the servants and guards who were still in the mansion to play snowball fights and build a snowman in the courtyard to pass the time.

After half an hour, the guard at the door came in hastily: "Master, the prince is waiting outside to invite you to go out."

Ming Ciyi was slightly surprised: "It's not yet the second day, right? Why isn't the prince watching the new year in the palace?"

Having said that, Ming Ciyi picked up the stove and walked out.

There were still some snow stains on his body, as if the snow had fallen on him.

Yuebai hurriedly followed him, the two of them arrived at the gate together, and saw Ji Changshu ordering Shuangcheng to do something with a sullen face.

Ming Ciyi took a few steps forward: "My lord."

Ji Changshu looked at him sideways, frowned slightly, and saw that he raised his hand to wipe the snow off Ming Ciyi's shoulders, and covered the back of Ming Ciyi's hand with his hot palm: "Why is it so cold? "

When Ming Ciyi saw him, his eyes were as if he was hiding the Milky Way, dazzling: "I just played around with them for a while, nothing happened. Doesn't the prince need to watch his age in the palace?"

Ji Changshu covered his hand, and his voice sank: "Something happened."

Ming Ciyi was slightly stunned, before he had time to ask, a snowflake fell from the sky, landed in Ji Changshu's hair, and then melted.

He looked up and saw that the snow had started to fall again.

"Today's New Year's Eve..." Emperor Yin Wen pressed his eyebrows, and sighed softly: "I'm sorry to trouble the national teacher to make this trip."

Knowing what happened on the way, Ming Ciyi couldn't smile, but shook his head: "It's nothing."

New Year's Eve was originally a day for a family to reunite and rejoice to keep the year old, but a tragedy happened on such a day.

Huang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is the son of Princess Yunchi, and he has a little relationship with the royal family.

And Huang Shangshu was murdered tonight, and even the other party was extremely cruel and wiped out dozens of members of his family.

Not a single one was left alive.

Is it a vendetta?

But what kind of hatred can make someone do such a cruel thing?

Emperor Yinwen looked at Ming Ciyi: "National Teacher, I want you to investigate this matter."

"Me?" Ming Ciyi was slightly surprised: "Isn't it better to leave this matter to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department?"

Emperor Yin Wen shook his head: "Let's not say that the Ministry of Punishment is a pawn in the Queen Mother's hands, but that Dali Temple has been getting lower and lower in the factional disputes these years. I'm afraid that even if they find out something, they will pretend to be I don't know."

Also.

The Dali Temple in the Yin Dynasty had little power and status.

Those who dared to kill Huang Shangshu's family must have powerful forces behind them.

Is it... the eldest princess?

But why did this woman kill him?

Ming Ciyi didn't evade any more, just cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Having said that, he really didn't know where to start.

Only one step at a time.

After leaving the palace, Ming Ciyi got into Ji Changshu's carriage again.

Ji Changshu sent him back to the Ming residence, but they heard the New Year's bell ringing in the carriage.

Ming Ciyi lifted the curtain and looked at the goose feathers and heavy snow outside, and sighed softly.

Ji Changshu put away the scroll in his hand and looked at him: "Sorry."

His tone was as cold as ever: "Let you spend the New Year here."

Ming Ciyi looked back at him and smiled: "What's the matter?"

He rubbed the stove: "As long as you are here, the prince is enough."

Ji Changshu: "You have to be careful. I pulled out Ji Changyue's several forces in the dark. Although she didn't respond, she will definitely come back for revenge."

If you want to ask what is the weakness of the current Ji Changshu, Ming Ciyi is the only one.

Ming Ciyi didn't expect Ji Changshu to deal with the eldest princess so soon, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The eldest princess is now in full bloom, and most of the forces in the court support her and the queen mother... If you do it now, there will be no problems, right?" ?”

"There's no need to worry." Ji Changshu said lightly, "I have a measure."

Some miscellaneous fish should also be dealt with.

Because the case of extermination of the royal family was hanging over Ming Ciyi's heart, he only got up after resting for two hours.

After getting up, Shuang Cheng followed him in to serve him, which made Ming Ciyi slightly surprised.

Shuangcheng: "Young Master Ming, Shuangqi found something."

Ming Ciyi signaled him to continue, and he said, "Huang Shangshu has seen the hidden guards of the Western Regions."

what? !

Ming Ciyi paused holding the handkerchief, and looked at Shuangcheng in astonishment: "He has seen the hidden guards of the Western Regions? Doesn't he know the whereabouts of the princes of the Western Regions?"

Shuangcheng bowed his head: "This subordinate doesn't know."

Ming Ciyi felt his heart beating faster, and he hurriedly said, "What about the hidden guards of the Western Regions?"

Shuangcheng: "Shuangqi went to see the bodies of all the members of the Huang family..."

A bad premonition flashed in Ming Ciyi's heart, and Shuangcheng continued: "He was also killed."

Hearing this, Ming Ciyi had a guess in his mind.

Last night, Huang Shangshu had a secret meeting with the hidden guards of the Western Regions, but accidentally leaked the news, and let the eldest princess know about it, and then a tragedy happened.

To actually involve the Western Regions...

This case became a hot potato in the blink of an eye.

Ming Ciyi couldn't help but raised his hand and twirled the tassel of his left ear: "What did the hidden guards of the Western Regions say to Huang Shangshu to make people do such a cruel thing..."

Shuangcheng did not answer, but Yuebai said softly: "Master, could it be that the hidden guards of the Western Regions told Huang Shangshu some secrets about the murderer? kill them all..."

She paused: "Master, now we should protect the officials who have close contacts with Huang Shangshu."

If she didn't say anything, Ming Ciyi really didn't expect this level: "Shuangcheng, hurry up and do what Yuebai said."

Shuangcheng glanced at Yuebai, and bowed his head in response.

Ming Ciyi frowned slightly anxiously: "Yuebai, can you go and find out if there are any other hidden guards from the Western Regions in Beijing?"

Yuebai lowered her head: "This servant understands."

Ji Changshu poured a glass of water for Ming Ciyi: "Jialanna has successfully arrived at the Imperial Capital of Beiyuan."

Ming Ciyi nodded slightly, and finally heard good news today: "That's good."

Ji Changshu looked at him indifferently: "I thought you would blame me."

Ming Ciyi chuckled: "When I heard it at first, I was somewhat displeased, but later I realized that the prince was doing it in order to attract the other party who was hiding in the dark, so I was relieved. The prince was worried that the other party would come to me first. , are you afraid that I will reveal my secrets?"

Ji Changshu shook his head: "I'm afraid that if you find out, you won't be able to hide it from the other party, and they will attack you again."

Ming Ciyi was stunned, feeling warm in his heart, and couldn't help but want to rely on Ji Changshu, but they haven't pierced the window paper yet, and he couldn't make a more intimate behavior.

Ming Ciyi blinked, thinking that after this matter was over, he would tell Ji Changshu that he liked him.

The kind I like very much.

He believed that Ji Changshu also had that kind of affection for him.

"Master." Shuangcheng's voice sounded from outside: "The prince of the Western Regions has been found."

Ji Changshu glanced at Ming Ciyi, Ming Ciyi signaled him to go quickly, Ji Changshu got up and left.

The two chatted outside for a long time, and finally Ji Changshu came in with a cold face.

Ming Ciyi just wanted to ask him what's wrong, when he heard him say: "I'm going to leave Beijing for a few days."

Ming Ciyi was slightly stunned, how many days away from Beijing at this time...?

Ji Changshu: "Be careful yourself."

Ming Ciyi nodded, but didn't stop Ji Changshu: "My lord, you too, I'm afraid that the eldest princess deliberately lured you out to get rid of you."

"Don't worry." He stretched out his hand and touched Ming Ciyi's head, saying that he was familiar with it once, but now Ji Changshu did it very naturally and skillfully: "She can't hurt me."

Without saying farewell, Ji Changshu rushed to find the prince of the Western Regions earlier, so he rode away directly.

Ming Ciyi stood outside the door and watched for a long time, until Ji Changshu was completely out of sight, then turned back to the house.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yuebai hurrying over: "Master, we found it."

She paused: "Master, do you believe in Songbai?"

Pines?

What's the matter with pines and cypresses?

Doubts turned into doubts, Ming Ciyi still said: "Of course I believe it, he is the guard sent to me by His Majesty."

Yuebai: "Songbai said that when he had a New Year's Eve dinner with his family yesterday, he saw people who looked like people from the Western Regions wandering around."

Ming Ciyi did not hesitate: "Let's go, let's go to Songbai's hometown."

"But I have to leave the capital." Yuebai said: "Songbai's house is a little far away from the capital, and the servants are afraid that it will be unsafe."

Ming Ciyi: "It's nothing, I'll bring the twins with me."

Shuangtong's martial arts are outstanding, so naturally nothing will happen.

The author has something to say: I forgot the timing! ! ! ! !
