Near the imperial capital at Zishi, the lights in the streets and alleys were almost completely extinguished. Occasionally, the lights of a few houses were still on, and the sound of dogs barking could be heard from time to time.

Outside the imperial study room of the imperial palace, you can still see the shining lights in the hall.Suddenly, two black shadows flashed past, and they didn't know where they went.

Sitting in the hall is a man wearing a yellow brocade robe and a man's attire, with a crown on his head, and one can guess who this person is at a glance.

"Your Majesty, Mingyue and Bamboo Shadow, see you."

Hearing the sound, Huangfu Jingyan raised his head slightly and stopped the pen in his hand.

"You are back, how is the investigation going?"

The voice was cold, it was obviously May, and it was already summer.And this sound is enough to send people to the cold winter day, there is no temperature at all, it seems that there is only the chill that is so cold to the bone.

Huangfu Jingyan put the imperial brush on the brush and inkstone, closed the memorial, and looked indifferently at the two women in black clothes below.

Those azure blue eyes are so deep that one can't see the boundary.If you look directly at it, it seems to be able to suck people in, which makes people panic.

"Yes"

The two replied in unison, bowed their hands, and lowered their heads not daring to look directly.

"Mingyue, tell me about your investigation first."

Huangfu Jingyan came down from the hall and came beside the two of them.

"Yes"

The woman in black on the left replied, keeping her head down and unable to see her face clearly.The voice is crisp and loud, and one can also tell that this person's style is decisive and he doesn't hesitate.

"My subordinate went to Emei, and I know that Concubine Xian left Emei when she was eight years old, and traveled alone in the rivers and lakes. Although she spends half of her time in Emei every year, the rest of the time is in the rivers and lakes. Her whereabouts in the rivers and lakes, the subordinates did not check. It is very clear that the empress seems to be just traveling in the mountains and rivers."

"Really?"

Huangfu Jingyan seemed dissatisfied with the answer, his brows were furrowed, his hands were put behind his back, and he seemed to be thinking about something when he lowered his head.

Mingyue could also hear from Huangfu Jingyan's voice that he seemed very dissatisfied with the result, and then said again.

"The empress has close contacts with the people in the Xiaoyao Building. Not only that, she seems to be very afraid of Murong Hanying, the deacon of the Xiaoyao Building. Murong Hanying will confine the empress in the Xiaoyao Building for two or three months every year."

"You said she knew someone from Xiaoyaolou?"

Huangfu Jingyan seemed to have heard some unbelievable news, he quickly turned around, and looked at Mingyue incredulously.

"Yes"

"Xiaoyao Building is the Xiaoyao Building known as the first building in the world?"

"Yes"

After getting the answer she wanted, the expression on Huangfu Jingyan's face became a little gentler, and the flickering candlelight shone on her somewhat indifferent pretty face, adding a little more brilliance.

"Is there any news from the landlord of Xiaoyao Building?"

"The subordinate is incompetent, and no news about him has been found."

Mingyue quickly knelt down to accept the crime, her voice was a little panicked.It's not a small crime for me to do things badly, and I haven't heard anything about it for many years.

"Okay, get up, it's not your fault. You can't find the news, and that person can't find it either. He wanted to get the power of Xiaoyaolou, but he couldn't get it from Murong Hanying, and he was also looking for it." That person can't get it there."

Huangfu Jingyan seemed very confident, and stretched out his hand to signal Mingyue to get up.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that is a little strange. I'm not sure, so I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"What's the matter?"

When Huangfu Jingyan saw Mingyue for the first time, there was something he couldn't be sure of. After being by his side for more than ten years, it was the first time he saw her hesitant look on his face.

"The empress has a Duyouqin, and she never leaves her body when she goes out."

"What? Duyouqin, you said she has a Duyouqin?"

Huangfu Jingyan showed surprise on his face, as if he was very concerned about this matter.

Mingyue raised her face and glanced at Huangfu Jingyan. It was the first time in so many years that His Majesty cared about something.Apart from indifference, His Majesty rarely saw other emotions on his face before. What happened today made him lose his self-control.

"Yes, that's why my subordinates wonder if the empress is the landlord of the Xiaoyao Building. Although the empress is walking around the rivers and lakes with her piano, no one has ever heard her play a tune. If she is a person who loves the piano, why doesn't she play the piano and only walks around the rivers and lakes with the piano on her back? It doesn't make sense."

According to her own investigation, Mingyue was also a little curious about this concubine.A third lady from the prime minister's mansion, a disciple of Emei, and her complicated relationships in the Jianghu. If such a woman were said to be simple, how many people would believe her.

"She just doesn't like playing the piano with outsiders."

Huangfu Jingyan looked up at the carved pillars carved with flying dragons in the hall, and his thoughts went back to the past.

"Murong, Murong, don't be angry, can I drink it?"

A little girl in white, wearing a mask, followed behind an extremely beautiful woman.The woman was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a long purple dress and waist-length black hair. If she went out into the Jianghu, she would be a beauty that would amaze the world, and she would be able to charm many men.

"Then I'll watch you drink, here we are."

The woman handed the bowl in her hand to the woman running in front of her. There was a head difference in height between the two, and the woman in white was smaller and thinner, as if a gust of wind could take her away.

"Hehe, Murong, can you cook less medicine next time? Look at such a big bowl, it's almost as big as a washbasin. Look at me again, it's so small, drinking so much is a bit, a bit... ..."

The woman took the bowl, looked at the dark things inside, and flattered this woman named Murong with a smile on her face.

"This bowl is just a bowl for eating. It's too big, and there are only two mouthfuls of medicine in it. It's not much at all. I plan to cook more next time. It's too little."

Murong frowned, looking at the person in front of him with a displeased face, every time he took the medicine it was like killing her.When fighting with others, why didn't she expect that she would be injured.Thinking of this, the expression on his face became even more unhappy.

"Drink it quickly, and you won't be able to fight with others in the future. If I catch you, you will be banned for half a year, and your Duyou will also be confiscated."

"What? No, I'm obedient, you must not confiscate my Duyou, I'll finish the medicine right away."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, tilted his head, and drank a bowl of medicine. Just now he saw the pained expression on the medicine's face, but now it was gone.

Seeing the woman in white drank the medicine in one go, Murong was very satisfied, the expression on his face slowed down, and his tone became kind and gentle.

"Cheng'er, don't save people you don't know casually in the future. Not to mention that you were injured yesterday to save that person, judging from the way that person is dressed, it can be seen that he is a son of a wealthy family. If he is hunted down, he must have something to do with the court." Related. We are not involved in the affairs of the court, nor do we want to withdraw from them. Do you understand this?"

With a soft voice like a sister, she reached out to take the bowl in Cheng'er's hand, holding her right hand with one hand, with a worried expression on her face.

"Okay, I won't worry Murong anymore, so you don't get angry, okay? By the way, how is the injured woman I carried back?"

Holding Murong's hand tightly with both hands, he said with a firm face that he was not an example.

"You know she's a woman?"

Murong looked at Cheng'er with a look of surprise, that person was dressed in men's clothing, and looked handsome, it was impossible to tell that she was a woman, how did Cheng'er know?

"I carried her back, so I know. Is she okay? It's her luck to save her life from so many people."

"Don't talk about others, you are not the same, you see you are so young and injured, and you come back with such a tall person on your back, you are also weird."

He stretched out his hand to pinch Cheng'er's nose, with a doting look on his face.

"Hehe, are you not angry anymore? I'm fine with this little injury. It's good that that person is fine. Let me play the piano for you, Murong, okay. I'll play the piano for you in the future, and I'll be your luthier. And Here is this jade pendant. This is a pair, one for you and one for me. If one day I die and you miss me, you won’t be sad when you see her.”

Cheng'er reached out and took out a jade pendant as white as snow from his bosom, and put it in Murong's hand with a happy face.

Hearing Cheng'er's words, Murong's face darkened, and he became annoyed instantly, put the jade pendant back into Cheng'er's hand, and scolded loudly.

"I don't want your jade pendant, and you will not die. As long as I am here, you will not die, and I will not allow you to die. No one can make you die except me. So I don't want this jade pendant. "

After he finished speaking, he left with a look of anger, as if he couldn't accept such words, and he didn't want to admit the fact.

"Murong, Murong, I'm sorry, don't cry."

Cheng'er strode behind Murong, with an anxious expression on his face.

In the evening, in this bamboo forest, I heard the beautiful, melodious and exciting sound of the piano.

For a while, it looks like a proud princess, arrogant and stern;

She is obviously just a weak woman, but she is as passionate as a phoenix.When it is soft, it can melt people's hearts.

The melody of the piano is like a song, a petite and weak girl who can't see her face.What kind of person is this, she is like a trace of gentleness, which can melt even the coldest heart.

"Cheng'er, your injury is not healed, I told you not to let you play the piano, why are you disobedient?"

A somewhat angry voice came into Cheng'er's ears.

Cheng'er turned around and said with a smile on her face.

"Murong, I'll play the piano for you. I'm going back tomorrow, and my senior sister will pick me up. But it will be better in a few days, and I'll come to see you again. Can you take this jade pendant? I will never say that kind of thing again Now, I have to work hard to live, and now I earn every day I live, and you are with me, so I don’t want to die, I want to see the prosperity of this world with you, the great rivers and mountains.”

Cheng'er handed the jade pendant that was not delivered in the morning to Murong.There is no longer a childish expression on his face, but a look of affection.

"Okay, you are leaving tomorrow, write the letter on time, and when you come, I will send someone to pick you up."

"Well, Murong, the girl I rescued has recovered from her injuries. Let her go. I think her family should also be looking for her. You send someone to look for her. If someone still kills her, send them back. Home. I can’t save people and leave it alone. Also, I will always carry this sachet from now on, it’s because Murong prayed for me to get it, and I must regard it as more important than my own life.”

Shaking the blue sachet in his hand, the corners of his mouth are as cute as a crescent moon.

"I don't care about other things, I just hope you are well and healthy. Don't play the piano today, go to eat."

"kindness"

Picking up Qin, holding Murong's in one hand, he left happily.

In the bright moonlight, the two of them are so proud and different.They don't seem to be people in this world, and they can't be compared with people in this world.
