After entering September, the nights became much colder.At night, when everything is silent, the candlelight in the study of the general's mansion flickers on and off because of the night wind passing through the screen window.A hot candle tear slid down the wax body and piled up on the copper platform in a protective posture, trying to block some of the chill.

Holding a piece of blood-stained letter paper in his bony hands, the surface was yellowed due to old age, but there was no handwriting on it.

Xuanyuan Yi squeezed between her eyebrows with two fingers, put the letter into the wooden box, opened the hidden compartment in the wall and put it away.

It's pitch black outside, people should be coming back soon...

"General." Director Wang knocked lightly on the half-hidden door, "Prince Anjing is looking for you."

Xuanyuan Yi paused, "He came here in person?"

"Exactly." Therefore, he couldn't use the words that the general had already rested to refuse, since he was the general's biological father after all.

After thinking for a while, Xuanyuan Yi patted Heihu's head and stood up, "Let him wait in the lobby, I'll be there in a while."

"Yes."

Putting on his outer shirt, Xuanyuan Yi stood at the window and looked at the dark lake. Today, as usual, there was no moonlight, and it was so dark that it was hopeless.

Heihu tugged at the hem of his clothes, Xuanyuan Yi came back to his senses and walked out, hiding the trace of loneliness in his eyes.

In the brightly lit lobby, a man dressed in fine clothes was sitting upright, with a sullen expression on his face, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xuanyuan Yi's.

"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Yi asked condescendingly, standing a few steps away from him.

Xuanyuan Weihua has always been used to being flattered by others, and Xuanyuan Yi's attitude is really hard for him to accept, but he still hasn't forgotten what he came here for today.Forced to soften his tone, he said, "Xiao Yi, sit down first, I have something to discuss with you."

Still the same defiant, thinking that some kindness from him would make people kneel and lick, Xuanyuan Yi said coldly: "Say."

Xuanyuan Weihua's complexion changed slightly, he could not help clenching his hands in his sleeves, and his tone was a bit cold, "This king is your father, what is your attitude?"

Xuanyuan Yi didn't want to get too entangled with him, so she said to Mr. Wang, "Send off the guests."

"Yes." Director Wang said respectfully but distantly: "Prince Anjing, please."

"Presumptuous!" Xuanyuan Weihua stretched out his hand to get the teacup angrily, only to remember that no one brought him tea, holding his breath in his chest, he kicked over the stool, "You talk to father like that Is it!"

Director Wang's face was livid, "Prince Anjing said carefully, the general is the regent appointed by the late emperor." The little emperor would respect his generals, how can an idle prince be yelled at?

"Why did you come here?" Xuanyuan Yi didn't give him a chance to continue shouting, which made Xuanyuan Weihua mistakenly think that he wanted to calm things down, so he couldn't help being a little arrogant, and gave the manager a hard look.

"Today is your mother's death day, let me come and see you."

Xuanyuan Yi looked at the man in front of him who mentioned his mother without any sadness at all, inexplicably wanted to laugh. "I've seen it, let's go back."

Xuanyuan Weihua choked for a moment, and said with an ugly face: "Since you are the regent, it is not good for you to participate in military affairs anymore, lest someone gossip."

Xuanyuan Yi didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, seeing that he had no expression on his face, he continued: "Xiaoyu is your own younger brother, he is here to help you, so you can rest assured."

"No, please go back. Manager, from now on, no matter who is in Prince Anjing's residence, no one needs to be notified, and they will all disappear." Xuanyuan Yi left without looking back.

Xuanyuan Weihua wanted to chase after him, but jumped off two hidden guards from nowhere to block his way, so he could only watch them go away.

Walking out of the courtyard, Xuanyuan Yi took a deep breath, the surroundings were covered with ice, as cold as winter.

The black tiger who was following behind him lightly bumped Xuanyuan Yi's calf, and let out a low cry.As much as he hated to admit it, that ugly bastard certainly made its owner happy.

"Well, he should be back soon, let's go pick him up." The ice receded, Xuanyuan Yi jumped out of the mansion, followed closely by Heihu.

He Lianqi, who was supposed to get off work at that time, had one head and two big ones because the manuscripts in the study were damp and moldy.

"Mr. Bai, the day before yesterday I asked you to see if it was wet, and you swore that it wasn't, what is it now? Muddy!" Helian Qi yelled at the bone.

Bai Gu scratched his chin guiltily, "I, I don't know that there is a water leak, besides, the roof has never leaked before, how do I know that it leaked without making a sound?"

He Lianqi gritted his back molars, wishing to tear some pieces of his flesh off. "What should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Copy it..." Bai Gu laughed at the readers, "I'll read it next month when I write it out, I'm sorry."

The man waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, if that's the case, I'll go first."

He Lianqi rested his forehead with one hand, and scratched his hair irritably, "You copied?" There were hundreds of copies.

"Are you copying? I'll pay you." Bone blinked, acting cute.

Helian Qi got goosebumps all over his body, and walked away with aversion to cold, "My calligraphy is poor, so I can't do it."

"Is that so..." Bai Gu also had a headache, "Nangong hasn't finished the pen yet?"

"Not yet." He Lianqi bent down to pick up a book, and flipped through it regretfully, "If I took it out to bask in the sun yesterday, why don't I not have a book at all?" bones.

Bai Gu knew he was wrong, so he obediently listened to the training and did not speak.

"It would be great if there was a printing press." Swipe, brush, and get it done in a day.Helian Qi sighed.

"What is a printing press?" Bone asked strangely. It stands to reason that there should be nothing in this world that he doesn't know, but he has never heard of this thing.

Helian Qi glared at him, continuing to regret.

"What's wrong here?"

Xuanyuan Yi didn't see anyone when she walked in, she came over after hearing the voice, and found the two standing in the bookcase, the books on the floor were damp and moldy, and water had accumulated.

"A Yi—" He Lianqi put down the book and rushed over aggrieved, rubbing his face against the man's chest, and let out a contented sigh.

Bai Gu couldn't take it anymore, turned his face away, "Don't look at evil!"

Xuanyuan Yi didn't look at him, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"The books are all gone." My heart hurts so much!Since he was a child, he has never seen anyone ruining books. Others like to write and draw on textbooks. His textbooks have nothing but neat notes.Seeing so many books become muddled now, can you not feel sad?

Knowing that he cherishes the books, Xuanyuan Yi patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Just ask someone to write it again, and bury them all in a while."

"Pfft——" He Lianqi couldn't help laughing, "I'm not that hypocritical, okay?" He still buried books, why didn't he bury flowers?

Seeing people laughing, Xuanyuan Yi's expression softened a little.

"Hey, it would be great if there was a printing machine, how much work would it take to copy it?" Helian Qi felt a little helpless, as the boss of the study, Bai Gu was really unreliable, right?

Xuanyuan Yi thought about it seriously: "Printing board?"

Helian Qi was slightly stunned, and then happily said: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"

Bone was stunned, what the hell is this?Seek to explain!
