"How?" Kailu said casually, playing with the gemstone ring between his fingers.

"Your Highness, this matter is very strange." Irbonne bowed his body slightly, with a dignified expression on his expression.

"Oh... let's hear it."

Irbonni looked at Ziwa who had already been smashed to pieces by the angry crowd on the ground, and frowned and said, "Your Highness, there is not only one fatal wound on Ziwa's body!"

Hearing this, Kailu showed a strange smile on his face, as if he had expected it: "This is strange, Xili is not a liar."

"Your Highness!" Irbonne felt disapproving of Kailu's ease: "It's a poisonous arrow!"

"Poisoned arrows?" Kailu stopped laughing, after all, this is not a trivial matter: "What kind of poison can make a strong man like Ziwa fall to the ground in an instant...?"

"Exactly, Your Highness." Seeing that Kailu finally got serious, Irbonne's expression softened a little: "This is definitely a poison that cannot be more powerful, and as far as I know, there is no poison that is so fast and vicious in West Terrace! Even the princess The medicine she prepared also..."

Kailu waved his hand, implying that he depends on the place when he speaks, and he is not in his own palace now, so it is better to pay attention to it.Irbonni paused, and immediately apologized: "This subordinate made a mistake."

"Forget it," Kailu's attention was not here at the moment: "What did the guards say?"

"Returning to Your Highness, they said that they saw someone hovering next to the corpse this morning, but that person fled quickly, so they didn't even see the front clearly. They only said that according to the clothes, it should be a man."

"Man..." Hearing this, Kailu lowered his eyelids, wondering what he was thinking, and soon laughed again: "Do you know what I want to do most now?"

"Your Highness?" Irbonne raised his eyebrows, His Highness has been in a good mood recently!

"Hehe, I'm more interested in the poisoner than the source of the poison..." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were as cold as the moon.

At this time, in the palace on the other side, a tall man wearing a black cloak was holding a small handkerchief in his hand. In the middle of the snow-white handkerchief, lying impressively was the poisonous arrow that could not be found in Xishui.

"..." The man stared at Xiaojian quietly, and after a long time, he murmured some intermittent sentences: "...Impossible..."

"My lord Ulussi, Her Royal Highness has something to look for you!"

Ulussi turned around silently, glanced at the panting servant, and said in a low voice: "I see, you go down first."

"Yes!" The man left as hurriedly as when he came.

"Has the matter been found out?" The low air pressure circled around the hall.

"Return to Your Royal Highness, Ziwa died of poisoning, but what kind of poison... I can't find out." Ulusi's voice was still faint.

"Crack!" After the crisp sound, the deer-head scepter in Wang Hao's hand broke into two pairs: "Even you can't find out? I never believe that little girl has such ability!!"

Ulussi gave a small gift: "As you said... Please see..."

The princess frowned: "What is this?"

"This is the poisonous arrow that took Ziwa's life!" The face under the brim of the black hat was completely covered in shadows, and Ulusi's tone was as calm as discussing the weather.Since she couldn't see clearly, the princess herself couldn't figure out what he meant, so she stretched out her little finger, thinking to try to identify the properties of the poison. Seeing this, Ulussi hurriedly stopped her: "Your Highness!"

"What's wrong?" The princess was puzzled.

"Just now I have tested it on the tribute. The poison on the arrow is very strong, and it can take someone's life almost instantly, so please be careful, Your Highness!"

"What?!" Wang Hao's face was a bit ugly: "Why have I never heard of such a poison!"

"Neither have my subordinates." Ulussi lowered his head, looking very respectful.

"Damn it! Is there such a powerful person beside Kailu?! Isn't it that I cursed and killed the emperor..."

"Your Highness!" Ulussi's eyebrows flying under the hat could not help but wrinkle. The princess's temper has become worse and worse recently.

After letting out a sigh of relief, the concubine stroked her aching forehead, shook her hands and said, "I already know, you can go down!"

After hesitating to speak, he glanced at the princess, but Ulussi finally bowed and left without saying anything.

The weather is fine, the blue sky, the white clouds drifting by in clusters, in the palace surrounded by light brown city walls, the west water is hanging on the porch, with one foot dangling boredly.Just after he made a mistake in how to use the messy things in the pots and jars several times in a row, and washed a shawl of Kailu, he suddenly became idle.

The quality of ancient cloth is really poor!Someone is still repenting.

Looking at a pool of pink and tender lotus, Xishui just couldn't get excited.Now he was very worried about that little arrow that disappeared out of thin air. This feeling that everything was not logically expected made him very uncomfortable.No matter who took the little arrow, it was a disgrace to him.Based on this alone, he can't go at ease!It's fine if Xili leaves too, but what if she doesn't?In case not only Xili didn't make it, but he also stayed, in that case, this missing little thing would become troublesome.

The more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, Xi Shui almost wanted to jump into the water to clear up his chaotic head.But he said that the ancient courts really loved to grow lotus. He remembered that the place where the blonde girl in a certain shoujo manga crossed the past was also like this... I couldn't help but think of the lotus pond in my original school. Every day when the lotus fades away , and the stench was so foul that all the students' appreciation for the lotus, which represents the traditional Chinese virtues, has been cultivated so easily since then. Frowning, Xi Shui felt as if he smelled that terrible thing again up...

"Not in a good mood?" He was so scared that he almost fell into the lake when the magnetic voice came. When he raised his eyes, he saw Kailu's tall and straight body standing not far from the corridor, looking at the with him. "Your Highness!" Xi Shui exclaimed, and quickly jumped off the stage. Before his knees touched the floor, Kailu supported him: "Sit down."

Xi Shui didn't dare to sit down, and stood aside so obediently, waiting for Kailu to leave.Seeing this, Kailu just smiled, and then sat up cross-legged: "Are you worried?" Xi Shui gritted his teeth, as long as you leave: "It's nothing, Your Highness."

Kailu narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when Xili walked over. Looking at her face, she seemed to still be brooding over Ziwa's death.Xi Shui couldn't help but approached her and comforted her: "Miss Xi Li, it wasn't your fault, you know, without you, I..."

"No!" Xi Li shook her head: "It's all because of my own will. If I had listened to the prince early in the morning, I wouldn't have..."

"But that man is a heinous devil!" Xi Shui didn't know whether he was speaking to Xili or comforting himself.Since coming here, his three views and past cognition have been greatly challenged.

"I know... but no one deserves to die. I don't know what happened at that time... I just desperately wanted to get rid of him..." Although the girl's will is firmer than others, after all, she accidentally snatched him away. It's hard to let go of losing a life for a while.What's more, besides being ordered to act at that time, Ziwa did not cause any substantial loss to the two of them. This should be the reason why Xili felt uneasy.

What about Xishui?Wouldn't he be even more unable to extricate himself from such frustration?It is true that he has not been able to sleep peacefully for several nights... But he is a man, so he can only bear it. In this strange place, he cannot speak or ask for help.She closed her eyes forcefully, and when she opened them, her eyes were full of smiles: "Miss Xili, you are so kind! Ziwa has killed countless people, if he were innocent, there would be no sinners in the world. Moreover, what is the fault of those who were killed by him? Aren't they innocent? Didn't you hear the cheers under the city tower, didn't you see the joy on the faces of the citizens? This is what really exists Things are what you should care about..." At this point, Xi Shui was startled by a slip of the tongue, but it was impossible to recover.

Sensitively aware of the changing eyes of the two people around him, Xi Shui couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, Qian Xishui, Qian Xishui, why are you so restless!This is just the beginning, can we live in the future?

"Dite? Why did you say that..." Xi Li timidly grabbed his arm: "What is... what should I care about?"

"Eh? Did I say anything, Miss Xili?" Xi Shui put on a cheeky face, acting very cheeky.

"Really?" Xili tilted her head: "...Prince Kailu?"

"I'm afraid my ears don't work very well recently, what I hear seems to be the same as yours..." Kailu replied with a smile, his slender fingertips were still stroking along the pattern of the blanket under the fruit, the movement was so gentle Makes people blush.

At the corner, Irbonne walked out of the shadows with cold eyes, breaking the deadlock that was not conducive to Xishui: "I'm sorry. Your Highness, there is something urgent to report..."

"What's the matter?" Everyone knew that Irbonne would never appear in this place for no reason to chat with them, let alone interrupt the master's conversation.

"It's about getting Ms. Xili to return to her country. According to the results of the astrology officer's survey, the time to see Venus in this year's water season is tomorrow morning. If you miss it, you may have to wait another year, so please come as soon as possible." Get ready..." Yil narrated in a steady tone, as if he was making a simple weather forecast.

"Xili...go back?" A very simple sentence was uttered by two completely different mouths at the same time, which surprised Irbonne and the speaker so much that they forgot to think about the seriousness of the matter.Kailu was the first to come back to his senses, turned to Xishui and said, "Dite, is Miss Xili reluctant to part with you?"

"Of course, Your Highness!" He said so firmly, but in fact, Xi Shui was almost overjoyed.Be home soon, Oye! ~

"Then..." The beautiful eyelashes swept up: "Why don't you just stay, Xili?"

Shocked by the message she heard at this moment, Xili couldn't react for a moment, she stared blankly at Kailu, and didn't reply for a long time.Xi Shui was very anxious, but don't regret it already!Pursing his lips, he looked at Xili sincerely, and even held her hand from a distance: "Although I am very reluctant to part with Miss Xili, but... if this is Miss Xili's wish..."

At this time, two pairs of eyes of different sizes but equally bright flashed for a moment, and then the scene fell into a strange silence.

"Dite, do you want me to stay?" Xi Li looked at Xishui with black and white eyes.Xi Shui was stunned, shouldn't Kailu be the one to ask this question?What's the matter with him?Of course he doesn't want Xili to stay, he wants to go home too!But Xili's behavior is so inexplicable...Could it be...she actually wants to stay?Because of Carew?Is it just out of shyness to ask him?Scratching his head, Xi Shui really couldn't understand the woman's mind more and more.

"Well! But... Miss Xi Li has relatives and friends in her own country, right? If you can't see them again, I think you will be very sad... So even if Di Te is really reluctant to let you leave the West Terrace, But I can't selfishly beg you to stay!..." Xi Shui's words are not only pleasant to hear, but also have a strong moral implication - if this time fails, then what he hopes is that in the future In the many foreseeable opportunities, Kailu must not listen to Irbonni's instigation and leave Xili in the West Terrace.

But the current Irbonne should be eager for Xili to leave... right?Xi Shui looked at Irbonne with a "squeak" in his eyes.
