Devil's way

The prince passed by the yard and saw Xiao Miao holding a large handful of white flowers in her hand, her face was full of spring, her smile was bright, and she was still humming, she was in a very good mood.

It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Miao look so happy, the prince couldn't help but looked at Xiao Miao curiously, stepped forward and asked:

"Xiao Miao, what are you doing with so many flowers?"

"Give it away" Xiao Miao is also not shy, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Give it away? It's not bad. This flower is very suitable for giving away. I have given this flower to others before."

The prince looked at the flowers in Xiaomiao's hand, and remembered that he had randomly picked the flowers for Qinglongqu, and it seemed to be this one.

Xiao Miao was surprised when she heard it.

"Ah! Impossible! Master, you have given this kind of flowers to others, it's too unbelievable!"

"That's what you said! Can't I give flowers to people?"

"Master, do you know what kind of flower this is?"

"I know, isn't this Bai Yuan's smile?"

"Then do you know what it means for Bai Yuan to send someone away with a smile?"

The prince thought for a while and said:

"What else does a flower mean, isn't it just a flower?"

After Xiao Miao smiled meaningfully, she slowly told the prince

"Bai Yuan laughed, it was a confession flower, the owner didn't even know it, and dared to give it away."

"Ah!" The crown prince had a question mark on his face. It is true that this flower looks beautiful, but the crown prince really doesn't know that this flower has such a meaning.

After being surprised, the prince thought about it carefully

"When I sent flowers to Qinglongqu back then, he accepted the words without saying anything. Maybe he is the same as me. I don't know what it means. Fortunately, it's a good thing."

I have done such a stupid thing, Qinglongqu must be as ignorant as I am, otherwise I will definitely stay away from myself, and I feel relieved when I think of this prince.

"Master, what are you mumbling about?"

"It's nothing! Speaking of which, since it's a confession flower, who are you giving it to?"

"Master, why do you want to ask? I'd be embarrassed too." Xiao Miao's shy expression on her face made the prince want to laugh.

"Are you going to give it to Ah Heng or Ah Shu?"

The prince made a guess, and Xiaomiao immediately replied with a look of disgust: "Whoever gave them those two logs! I won't give them away if I throw them away!"

The prince hugged his hands forward, propped his chin on the fan in his hand, and continued to guess the side

"Is that for Yunling?"

Xiao Miao shook her head "No"

"Daner?"

"No"

"Twisting clouds?, Raining?, Wind?, Thunder?"

Xiao Miaojun shook her head for a while, it seemed that her guess was wrong

"It can't be A Yuan?"

"no no!"

"Then who else is there? Xiao Miao, have you met someone new recently?"

The prince had guessed all the people around him, but Xiao Miao still shook her head. There was only one possibility, that was someone she didn't know.

It took a long time for Xiao Miao to speak in a low voice, with a girlish look on her face

"No, master, you have forgotten one person"

"Is there?" The prince looked puzzled, thought carefully, and looked at the little meow with wide eyes in surprise.

"Could it be... Could it be the big eyes!"

"Master, he has a name, he's not called Big Eyes." Xiao Miao smiled in a shy and disobedient way, just mentioning Ah Xuan, so excited.

"Xiao Miao, I didn't say you, what kind of vision do you have!?"

The prince can hardly imagine that Xiao Miao actually likes Ah Xuan. No wonder she changed into new clothes and put on rouge and gouache recently. It turned out that it was all for Ah Xuan!

"Master, I know you don't like Xuan, but I don't think I can dislike him just because of this."

"It's not that I don't like him, it's obvious that he doesn't like me, why do you like him!"

"Ah Xuan is actually quite a nice person, master, you don't know him well"

"You started turning your elbows out so quickly, okay you!"

"I don't have it!..."

"Okay, okay, go and send your flowers, the flowers are almost thankful!"

The prince turned around while shaking his head and went to find Yuan Ling.

"A Yuan!"

The prince was all smiles, just as he approached Yuan Ling, he immediately greeted Ah Xuan with a cold look.

"I know you have big eyes!"

"Whether my eyes are big or not is none of your business!"

The prince hesitated to speak, with an expression that I am an adult and don't care about children.

"Xiao Miao is looking for you, you better not be around Ah Yuan." Thinking of this, the prince just told Ah Xuan to go quickly, so as not to look at each other and hate and hate again.

Although he didn't know who Ah Xuan was, but Ah Xuan hated the prince so obviously, the prince knew it very well.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Don't you know when you go!."

Ah Xuan looked at the prince with an expression of disbelief, wanting to move but not moving, wanting to leave but not wanting to leave.

After a while, the prince said again: "Aren't you going?"

After a moment of hesitation, Ah Xuan turned and left.

The prince looked at Ah Xuan's back and still shook his head, ah Xuan's temper doesn't seem to get along with him.

"Xiao Miao, what kind of vision is this? I really like such a person who can't get along with me."

Ah Xuan is so unfriendly to the prince, it is really hard to imagine if the two are really together, will the prince be happy for Xiao Miao or not!

Yuan Ling stood on the side and didn't speak. He didn't know whether he had his own views and opinions or was not interested in the love of these children.

"Owner"

Ah Heng and Ah Shu walked over together, speaking in unison.

As expected, the twins still have a tacit understanding, A Heng and A Shu, usually as long as they see one of them, the other will definitely be there.

Unity and fraternity, basically the same thinking and vision, and basically the same thing to say and do.

For more than 1 years, the prince has never seen two people quarreling, like a miraculously harmonious brother.

"what's wrong?"

The two replied in unison:

"The family of Mr. Zhou who disappeared a few days ago has come."

"Didn't all the sprites be caught for them, why are you making trouble?"

The crown prince raised his spirits... With a face full of complaints and helplessness, it is possible that he still said that he had arrested someone! ? .

Ah Heng and Ah Shu quickly explained

"They came this time, not to make trouble"

"What is that for?"

"He said he wanted to invite someone to catch a demon"

"This seat is not a great demon slayer, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm not here to look for you, but to look for the Holy Son of Yuanling."

When the prince heard it, forget it, and quickly ordered:

"Hurry up and send them away secretly, let them find someone else, don't let A Yuan know, A Yuan has worked so hard, how can I get rid of demons for them every day?"

"But..." Ah Heng and Ah Shu hesitated, as if he had something to say.

The prince looked at the two of them, "But what?"

"But the Holy Son of Yuanling has already agreed!"

"What! You don't know how to stop it"

The prince was so excited that he even blamed others.

With Yuan Ling's temperament, he must be very happy, who can stop him, a good person.

What's more, Yuan Ling has always regarded subduing demons and demons as his mission, so naturally he will not stand by and do nothing knowingly.

Yuan Ling has a belief in his heart, and the prince has a yearning in his heart, that is, Yuan Ling is the center of everything. Since Yuan Ling has agreed, the prince cannot ignore it.

Whether it's a human or a demon, if you don't know or understand everything in this world, you can't search everywhere for it.

So in order to find out the news, the prince and Yuan Ling went to Zhou's house together.

"Please, two gentlemen"

When the housekeeper of the Zhou family saw the two princes, he enthusiastically led the way.

The prince began to walk and observe from the moment he entered the door.

The Zhou Mansion is not considered an extremely rich family, but judging from this yard, it is still considered a small wealthy family. I heard that the Zhou family has only one son, and now he has disappeared. No wonder the Zhou family is in a hurry.

The prince turned his face and saw the two women, arguing and laughing, and couldn't help thinking "There are still people who laugh so happily."

Seeing that one of the two women was dressed like a servant girl in the mansion, and the other was dressed in a gentle way with her hair in a bun, I don't know which lady it is.

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing!"

The prince turned to look at Yuan Ling with a smile on his face, but Yuan Ling still had that expressionless expression.

As the butler came to the hall, the two elders of the Zhou family and other servants all looked trembling and cautious as soon as they entered the door.

The prince looked at the crowd and felt helpless.

Presumably everyone calls Yilin Pavilion a place of demons and themselves demons, so ordinary people are naturally somewhat afraid of him.

I don't know what these people are thinking, but they are so courageous that they go to Yilin Pavilion to find someone to help them get rid of demons and find people!

"Please, two gentlemen," the butler hurriedly greeted the two of them to move forward.

Everyone got up one after another and looked at the prince and Yuan Ling with some uneasy expressions.

"Why do you look at me like this?"

The prince had a relaxed expression on his face, he smiled and didn't look like a demon at all.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my lord, please forgive me." It was the master of the Zhou family who said, "You two lords, please sit down, please sit down..."

The prince glanced at Yuan Ling, and the two slowly sat down on both sides of the table on the left.

"Osmanthus, serve tea to the two gentlemen!"

Mr. Zhou is tall and thin, with a long beard and a sad face. He looks a bit bitter. It must be that the disappearance of his only son really broke his heart as an old man.

"Okay! Don't be polite, let's get down to business!" The prince is not here to drink tea, and he is not interested in being a guest. He has something to do, so don't waste time.

"Didn't you say you want to catch a demon? Are you not in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry, I will come back in two days."

"Urgent, very urgent." Mr. Zhou replied immediately: "If I'm not too anxious, I wouldn't dare to disturb your old man easily, and I hope you will help me, the poor old man, to find my son!"

Master Zhou looked as if he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to beg, full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Old man?" The prince looked surprised. It was the first time someone called him that, and he was really not used to it.

"The monster did not leave any traces. This old man has invited many famous people from the immortal family, but none of them have been found. It is really hard for this old man to sleep and eat."

"Your son, didn't you disappear inexplicably? How can you conclude that you were captured by a monster?"

The prince also heard some from the group of people who blocked the door in Yilinge, but he didn't know the rest, but it seemed that no one had heard that he saw a monster with his own eyes.

Master Zhou sighed and explained the situation to the prince:

"At first, I wasn't sure. Later, after my daughter-in-law woke up, she clearly stated what happened that night, and this allowed us to confirm that the one who captured my son was a bloody monster!"

"What kind of monster is this?" The prince couldn't imagine any monster like this.

"Do you know what's different about the monster when it came, how did it come, how did it go?, and the method it used?"

Yuan Ling asked further, wanting to know more clearly.

"This..." Master Zhou couldn't say anything after thinking about it. He probably knew that his son was captured by a monster, and he didn't care about anything else, he just worried about it.

Seeing this, the prince did not continue to ask, but only said:

"I don't know if you can invite your young lady to come out. After all, she saw it with her own eyes, so she should be able to know it better."

"Yes, of course." Master Zhou hurriedly ordered to the maid next to him, "Osmanthus, go and call Yitong over!"

"Yes, sir."

The maid Osmanthus nodded in salute, and walked out quickly.

The prince looked leisurely, and looked around. The Zhou family's mansion was relatively peaceful, and there was nothing wrong with it, let alone the aura of evil spirits intruding.

Sweeping his eyes, he saw Mrs. Zhou's expression was a little nervous, she didn't look like she was scared, but she seemed a little guilty.

When Mrs. Zhou met the prince's gaze, her hands trembled in fright, and she almost dropped all the Buddhist beads in her hand to the ground.

The prince shook his head helplessly, he is so good-looking, why are others so afraid of him? !

After a while, Osmanthus fragrans called Mrs. Zhou Shao, the prince saw that she looked familiar, thought carefully and said, "Isn't this the one who just smiled like a flower?"

"Yi Tong has met father and mother"

Mrs. Zhou Shao bowed to the two elders, with a sad expression on her face, which was completely different from what the prince saw at first.

"These are the two sons of Yilin Pavilion. I hope you will tell me what happened that night again. You don't have to be nervous, just tell what you saw carefully."

After Master Zhou ordered, Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "Yes."

"Meet the Two Sons"

"Young lady don't need to be polite"

Yuan Ling replied, but the prince didn't say a word, and secretly looked at Mrs. Zhou Shao.

A woman who lost her husband on her wedding night still has such thoughts and dresses herself so exquisitely.

And just now he was fighting with a maid in private, obviously very happy, but now he looks sad, obviously it's just pretending.

Yuan Ling continued: "Please tell the young lady what you saw that night and explain it carefully again."

"That day I covered my head and sat quietly in the room until my husband came in. He drank a lot of wine, maybe he was drunk, so after entering the door, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep without taking off my hijab. I didn’t know that I couldn’t take off the hijab myself, so I sat and didn’t sleep all the time, thinking that my husband had woken up, and then opened it for me. Until midnight, I suddenly heard footsteps, which seemed to be walking in front of me. , I asked, but no one responded, so I couldn't help but tore off the hijab for a while, but there was a monster with a bloody mouth, white eyes, and disheveled hair standing in front of me. I was timid since I was a child, and I fainted. When I woke up the next day, my husband was gone."

Mrs. Zhou's expression on the verge of crying aroused sympathy.

The prince heard this, thought for a while and said, "Just took a look, you know it's a demon so well? It might be something else, isn't it?"

Mrs. Zhou was stopped by the question and couldn't answer, so she looked at Mrs. Zhou secretly.

The prince was silent, and he didn't intend to ask so many questions, so it's better to have some practical advice.

"Okay, no matter what it is, you will understand when you find it"

The prince got up and asked Mr. Zhou:

"I don't know Master Zhou, is there anything that I often carry with me, find one for me, or something like his hair is fine."

Master Zhou thought for a while without asking any further questions. He stretched out his hand and slowly took out a piece of jade from his clothes, and said, "This is the only relic left to him after his mother died. Because it didn’t match the wedding dress, I took it off first.”

Master Zhou touched the jade lightly, as if he was reluctant to part with him, but he still handed the jade to the crown prince, "My lord, please help me find him"

Master Zhou's request was extremely sincere, and he could feel the urgency in his heart.

The prince couldn't help but feel heavy. If he can't find it, Master Zhou will be extremely disappointed.

"I try my best"

The prince must have been smiling and indifferent, but seeing a father who loves his son eagerly, looking for the child with helpless eyes, the prince can't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

People are not grass, who can be ruthless.
