bastard returns

Go on, "Your Highness, this matter is obviously done by someone with a heart, and this person's thoughts are extremely vicious. The villain speculates, I am afraid that this person arranges such poisons, and it is completely aimed at His Highness."

"Yes!" Sikong Yue realized at this moment, he had held the jade flute before, if he couldn't bear it and blew it first, the consequences...he shuddered all over his body, "You mean, Is someone going to murder the hall!?"

"This possibility is extremely high. Since someone got the poison, it must be harmful. Think about it, Your Highness, the jade flute was given to His Highness by the Emperor, and the person who can get in touch with it the most is naturally Your Highness." Ning Yuan said: "This person is not only thoughtful, but also knows a lot. He knows that the jade flute has been kept on this boat and will not be taken elsewhere for the time being. Xiao's hands and feet, if he can murder His Highness, it will be in line with that person's intentions. If His Highness Fu Zeshen escapes, but if the poison harms anyone present, His Highness thinks, what will this matter do to you? What about the impact?"

Si Kongyue immediately realized that if someone died because of the poison, it would be nothing more than a small family in Jiangzhou, but most of the sons of the rich and powerful in Huajing were present, and some of them were even single seedlings. In addition to the harsh criticism of the emperor, the family who lost their children will never be able to get close to him, and even stand against him, not to mention that if Huyan Yuanchen is the one who suffers, Daxia may not be able to do so for the sake of the country's face. There will also be a war, and at that time, he will not be allowed to dream of being the crown prince. His father will not change his imperial status and put him in the prison, which is already a great grace of the emperor!

The person who prepared the poison was so venomous that he calculated all aspects. If the calculation is successful, even if he is not poisoned to death, he will never be on the throne again in this life!

Who, who will use such means to harm him, and who can board this Sea Dragon King and get access to that jade flute, you must know that those two things were bestowed by the emperor for only a month, how many times can you have the opportunity to do this? One thing, and what can benefit from it is...Suddenly Sikong Yue's eyes froze, and he thought of a person.

Ning Yuan looked at Sikong Yue's expression, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, it was worth his point, Sikong Yue finally noticed.

In fact, the moment he noticed the tree frog snake, Ning Yuan already knew who made all these designs.

That person probably never imagined that all the knowledge about rare poisons he taught himself in the previous life would turn into a sharp knife against him in this life.

Sikong Xu, I thought I would have to wait a few more years to see your face, but I don't think I can wait, but God can't wait!

026 Meeting Sikong Again

Jiangzhou Palace.

Sikong's palace in Jiangzhou is located fifty miles north of the city. It takes half a day to take the official road by horse-drawn carriage, but it takes only one or two hours if you take the canal waterway.

There are several such palaces in various parts of Dazhou, which are specially used for members of the royal family to escape the summer and cold, or to live in the mountains and rivers. They were built in full accordance with the regulations of the miniature palace, with carved beams, painted buildings, small bridges and flowing water. The only one The disadvantage is that there are very few people living in it, and there are few people to take care of it on weekdays, so it is inevitable that it will be messy.But this place in Jiangzhou is not the case. Not only is the corridor of the palace spotless, there are even more eunuchs and maids serving here than in other palaces.

At this time, just to the north of the Xinggong, in the Shanhai Palace, where only emperors were allowed to live, two eunuchs guarded the door with downcast eyes. Heavy gasps and whimpers were heard intermittently in the hall.

In the middle of the Shanhai Temple is a huge dragon bed that is several feet square. Four gold-inlaid coiled dragon bed pillars support bright yellow bed curtains and surround it. Although it is noon at this time, the hall is still brightly lit. , Bright light penetrated into the bed curtains, clearly outlining the two naked figures intertwined on the dragon bed.

"His Highness, Your Highness...you should be gentle..." The young man lying on his back had a fair and delicate face. He looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old at the most. Permeated with a layer of redness brought by lust, the two smooth and slender legs tightly wrapped around the strong waist of the man above, trembling with the man's collision.

As for the young man galloping on top of the young man, his face is equally handsome, his body is firm and full of lines, like an elegant crawling leopard, his long black hair is scattered on his honey-colored back, and his buttocks are straight. Up and down with a very regular rhythm, each time the root of desire is deeply buried in the boy's body, and then pulled out completely, panting heavily, while nibbling the pink flower bud on the boy's chest.

"Your Highness, I can't do it anymore, no... don't push it there, ah... ah..." The young man shook his head vigorously, as if he could no longer bear the man's forceful push, his voice was already crying, and there was a cry in his clear eyes. Even more tears filled, he pressed his hands on the man's shoulders, as if trying to forcefully push the person on him away, but there was a charm of wanting to refuse and welcome.

The young man's struggle caused a sharp contraction in his back eyes. The man felt that the evil dragon between his legs was being squirmed by layers of honey. He frowned, and suddenly grabbed the young man against his abdominal muscles. The flower stem, which was constantly soaked in transparent juice, rubbed it a few times, then let out a low growl, and forcefully pushed the evil roots buried deep in the young man's body to the deepest point, and finally couldn't hold on to the essence anymore, and spurted out streams of scorching essence .

Stimulated by the burning liquid on the weak spots in the intestinal wall, the young man couldn't hold back any longer. He opened his mouth wide, and accompanied by an extremely pleasant grunting sound in his throat, large streams of honey liquid gushed out from the tip of the flower stem, and sprayed on the man. It was full of hands, and flowed down his fingers, tick-tock landed on his smooth belly.

The two of them overlapped each other for a long time without moving, and the joyful atmosphere on the bed finally calmed down gradually.The man moved his waist, exited the young man's body, looked at the young man's legs still wide open on the bed, and the wet thighs, he took a brocade handkerchief that had been prepared by the bed, and supported the young man's waist , wiped off the turbid liquid left by the two of his buttocks, then picked up the exhausted young man, got out of bed and walked towards a side door of the main hall.

"Come here." The man called out in a peaceful tone, and the door opened in response. Several eunuchs walked in with their heads buried. It was draped over the man's shoulders and led him into the room behind the side door.Behind the side door is a spacious bathroom. The white jade bath in the middle has long been filled with hot water. In the mist, the man walked into the bath with the boy in his arms, and was wrapped in warm water. The boy's slender eyelashes Trembling, as if he had just recovered from the previous ecstasy, seeing himself lying in the man's arms, he couldn't help blushing half of his face, stuck out his tongue and licked the man's beautifully shaped collarbone, and said coquettishly : "Why is His Highness so strong just now, almost hurting people, Che'er is still in pain now."

The man lowered his eyes, and finally put a smile on his expressionless face, "Since it hurts, I'll rub it for you." After speaking, he moved his fingers and reached between the boy's legs, gently touching his fingertips. It slid across the small red and swollen eyes between the boy's buttocks, and slowly rubbed along the folds.

"Don't...Your Highness...quickly stop..." The boy trembled all over, as if he had been greatly stimulated, two red clouds quickly flew up his cheeks, he twisted his body to avoid the man's fingers, but the fingers seemed to As if it had taken root, not only did it rub harder there, but with a little force, he also stuffed his fingertips into the eyes and mouth, stimulating the smooth and tender flesh wall inside.

The young man panted a few times, but he didn't even have the strength to struggle. He only relied on his two thin arms to hang around the man's neck, trying to keep himself from sinking into the water. The man gave a chuckle and finally stopped teasing Seeing that the little man reacted so violently, the man was afraid that if he continued, he would not be able to control himself, but there was another important thing waiting for him to do, and he had no time to have fun anymore.

Seeing that the man stopped suddenly, the young man showed a surprised expression, looked at the man's handsome side face timidly and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness, but Che'er is not serving you well?"

"No, Che'er is very considerate in serving you." The man put his arms around the boy's waist with one hand, lifted his chin with the other, and kissed the boy's delicate lips for a long time before saying, "It's just that I have something important to do." I have to deal with it, but I can't accompany you today, and I will send someone to take you back later."

"Well, I will listen to your Highness." The boy nodded obediently, "Then will Your Highness bring Che'er over tomorrow?"

"You little thing, can't you be so inseparable from me?" The man pampered the young man with a soft kiss on the forehead, "Naturally, I will pick you up. If there is no Che'er to accompany me, life in the palace will still be short-lived." I don't know how boring it is."

"Your Highness." The young man blinked his bright eyes, "It would be great if Che'er could stay by His Highness's side forever."

"There will be that day, don't worry." The man stroked the boy's bare back with his palm, and showed a gentle smile to the boy, "I am doing a very important thing now, once I succeed, I will But you can redeem your body for you, and then I will take you to Huajing, let you live in my palace, give you endless glory and wealth for the rest of your life, and be a fairy couple with me."

"Well, Che'er knows, Che'er will wait." The young man looked at the man affectionately, "Che'er likes His Highness, and will be with His Highness for the rest of his life."

But the man stopped talking. He raised his head, looked at an octagonal glazed palace lantern hanging on the roof, felt the tender body of the young man in his arms, and suddenly a gleam of coldness flashed through his eyes—at this moment, I am afraid that the Sea Dragon King, is it not far from the pier?

I don't know if the chess piece he buried on the boat worked?

Half an hour later, accompanied by an unremarkable carriage quietly leaving from the back door of the palace, beside the pier at the front door of the palace, a huge dragon boat was parting from the surging river, riding the waves like an ancient giant beast.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Ning Yuan slowly clenched his fists as he watched the palaces lined up not far away.

Unexpectedly, he came back here so quickly, back to the place where the bad relationship in his previous life started.

From being kicked out of the Ning Mansion, to being sent to this palace to guard the academy, and then falling into Sikong Xu's gentle trap, he spent the warmest and most unforgettable years of his life in this palace, relentlessly She pinned all her enthusiasm on that tall and tall man, but because he had too much hope, when he woke up from the dream, he was extremely lonely and desolate, leaving behind a hatred that could not be erased even if he cut his heart out. .

"Your complexion is not very good, but you are not feeling well?" Suddenly, a steady voice came to his ear, pulling his thoughts back from the emptiness to reality. At some point, Huyan Yuanchen was already standing beside him.

"It's okay." Ning Yuan took a deep breath and said lightly, "It's just that I'm a little seasick after standing for a long time."

"Are you seasick?" Huyan Yuanchen nodded clearly, reached into his arms, and took out a small round cloth bag. After unfolding, there were small pieces of white dry cheese inside, "Try this." He handed a piece to Ning Yuan.

"What is this?" Ning Yuan took it curiously, smelled it, and there was a faint milky smell, but it tasted sour when it was put into his mouth.

"This is a specialty of my hometown, yogurt." Hu Yanyuanchen took a piece and put it in his mouth, "I never took a boat when I was young, but when I first arrived in Dazhou, I didn't know that Dazhou has many waterways. I was so dizzy that I couldn't bear to vomit once, so I wanted to eat a piece of yoghurt to warm my stomach, but unexpectedly found that the sour taste could stop the dizziness."

Ning Yuan couldn't help laughing, "I'm used to hearing Prince Huyan's reputation as a young hero, but I didn't expect this young hero to carry snacks with him, which made me a little uncomfortable for a while."

Being ridiculed by Ning Yuan, Huyan Yuanchen didn't refute, but said: "Young Master Ning, don't think of me as a glutton for snacks, why don't you come and pick it first, what kind of milk is used for the raw material of this yogurt. "

Ning Yuan heard the words, tasted the cheese in his mouth carefully, and found that in addition to the sour and milky smell, it also had a faint smell of fishy smell, and said: "The land of Daxia is vast, but more than half of its territory is wetlands and grasslands. Most of them are herbivorous animals such as cattle and sheep, this cheese has a slight smell of mutton, could it be made from goat's milk?"

Huyan Yuanchen shook his head, "You guessed wrong."

"It's not goat's milk?" Ning Yuan was taken aback, "If it's not goat's milk, then where does this fishy smell come from? Milk doesn't have this smell."

"Mr. Ning has never been to Daxia, so I can't eat it if I think about it." Huyan Yuanchen raised his mouth and smiled slightly, "There are not only cattle and sheep on the grassland. The raw material for making these yoghurts is actually wolf's milk."

"Wolf?" Ning Yuan blinked in disbelief, "Could it be that the wolf will obediently lie on the ground and let you milk it?"

"Of course not." Huyan Yuanchen shook his head and said, "My sons in Daxia, especially the sons of nobles, will not be immersed in poetry and books like the princes of Dazhou. They only focus on riding and archery and martial arts, and they must Before becoming an adult at the age of 16, go to the grassland alone to capture a female wolf, skin it for milk, make a cloak from wolf skin, and make cheese from wolf milk. These two things are also the two most indispensable things in the coming-of-age ceremony of every nobleman It means that they have grown into men of Xia who can take charge of their own."

Hearing this, Ning Yuan's eyes fell on Huyan Yuanchen's shoulder, looking at the cloak with shiny black fur, he couldn't help admiring: "Looking at the quality of the fur, you must have caught a good wolf at that time."

"That's right." Huyan Yuanchen stroked the fur on his shoulders twice, and said abruptly, "I haven't thanked you yet, you saved me once just now."

Ning Yuan didn't expect him to say that suddenly, he paused for a while before reacting, and grinned, "There is nothing to thank, and I believe that even if I don't make a move, you should be able to avoid it."

"In any case, I owe you my life." Huyan Yuanchen said in a low voice: "I have written down this kindness. If there is anything that needs my help, please feel free to ask it. As long as I can do it, I will never hesitate .”

"Prince Huyan, you are joking, I actually..." Ning Yuan originally wanted to say that when he made the move, he never thought of asking him to repay him, but when he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by the roar of a trombone.

On the pier not far away, two rows of soldiers were already standing neatly, each holding a trombone with horns in their hands, puffing their cheeks and blowing a thunderous sound, welcoming the arrival of the dragon boat with the sound of the horn.And at the very front of the pier, there was also a handsome man dressed in brocade clothes.

The man was tall and slender, and his appearance was so handsome that even from such a distance, he could still clearly see the confidence and chicness in his eyebrows that seemed not to belong to the mortal world.

A person with such an appearance, no matter where he is placed, is probably a dragon and phoenix among people that cannot be ignored. Naturally, he will have a desire to get close to him, as if being caught by his gentle eyes, even if there is a mountain of swords and seas of fire. , I am also willing to make a breakthrough for him.

Ning Yuan felt all the muscles in his body jump up tightly, and clasped the railing on the edge of the deck with both hands, until his fingers were completely bloodless, and a fine tendon emerged on the back of his hand.

Originally thought it was Yong Jue, but never expected to meet again so soon.

Sikong Xu!

027 Old scene and newcomer

From a distance, Sikong Xu saw Sikong Yue standing at the bow of the ship with a single glance.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked over Sikong Yue, and looked at the other people around him. Seeing that they all looked calm and gossiping about the surrounding scenery, far from the panic and panic he expected, he couldn't help but thump. Could it be that Sikong Yue didn't take out the Lantian jade flute?

It shouldn't be, with Sikong Yue's extremely flamboyant character, there is no reason not to show off what the father bestowed on this occasion, not to mention that he has already investigated and found out that Huyan Yuanchen will also be on this ship, Facing Huyan Yuanchen's famous flute sound, it is impossible for Sikong Yue not to use this excuse to play a trick on Huyan Yuanchen.

As long as any one of Sikong Yue and Huyan Yuanchen dies, his plan will be successful, and he will even out the most powerful opponent for himself in the battle for the reserve position in the future.

But now seeing that Sikong Yue and Huyan Yuanchen looked good, he already understood that there was an accident in his plan, and it could be said that it failed, so he couldn't help showing a bit of solemn expression.He searched for that tree frog snake for a long time, and took great pains to hide it in the jade flute in Lantian. He spent so much effort to set up the trap, but finally returned without success.

Fortunately, his expression recovered quickly, and he knew that it was not a time to be upset. Seeing the dragon boat slowly approaching the shore and lowering the spiral ladder, Sikong Yue led a group of people down from above. Go on: "See Brother Dahuang."

But Sikong Yue ignored him, and didn't even ask him to be excused without politeness, and stepped over him directly with a big stride.

Walking behind Sikong Yue are Jing Yi and Meng Zhifan, who are both the princes of the state, and after that, all the wealthy sons from Huajing, one by one, are in front of Sikong Xu who is bending over. He didn't stop for a while, and the smile on Sikong Xu's downcast face had long since disappeared, replaced by the humiliation of biting his lips tightly.

He understood that this was Sikong Yue deliberately embarrassing him.

This embarrassment has been repeated many times since I was a child.Sikong Yue is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is also the heir of the empress, but he, Sikong Xu, is just a prince born to a court lady, and even his biological mother died of bleeding after giving birth to him. No concubine was willing to raise him, so he was fostered by an old woman. Mammy's knees.The two people's backgrounds are so different that even though they are both princes, in Si Kongyue's eyes, his younger brother's status is higher than that of a slave, and bullying him is even more commonplace.

This is normal in the palace.Sikong Xu didn't dare to think about how the motherless prince could grow to such a size step by step in the intriguing harem. He only knew how to show his weakness and back away. Only by keeping a low profile can he save his own life. Even at the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony two years ago, he asked the emperor to leave the palace and went to Jiangzhou to guard the palace, becoming the first prince who did not live in the palace. First, stay away from the center of the storm and find a chance to breathe; second, in Jiangzhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one is watching all the time, so he can feel at ease to cultivate his direct lineage, so that he can have enough power in the future. The capital exhales and raises eyebrows.

Sikong Xu is definitely not a mediocre person, and he also understands that he is not mediocre in terms of appearance or intelligence. What he lacks is strength and opportunities. If he can get what he lacks, he will definitely It can skyrocket and become one of the best dragons and phoenixes.

Sikong Yue walked down the gangway, turned his head, looked at Sikong Xu still maintaining a salute posture, and let those young masters pass by him, a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, he was not willing to believe that this cheap brother who had been doing nothing since he was a child and would do anything to save his life would be the one who brought poisonous snakes to harm him. Even if Sikong Xu had such thoughts, he probably wouldn't have the ability.But Sikong Yue had to be careful. In order for this trip to Jiangzhou to be smooth, before they actually made the trip, this Sea Dragon King took an empty boat to Jiangzhou on the second day after the emperor gave it to him, so he was familiar with the waterway. Among them, there is no one else who can tamper with the ship and benefit from it, except Sikong Xu.

However, all of this is just suspicion, he has no evidence, and he can't tie up Sikong Xu, but this does not prevent him from humiliating him a little bit, so that he can worship those sons of scholar-bureaucrats who are not as good as him, just like he worships himself. However, judging from the low-mindedness he has shown since he was a child, perhaps Sikong Xu would not take such humiliation seriously.

To put it bluntly, besides being good-looking, this imperial brother of mine was born to tease these imperial brothers for fun.

"Mr. Ning, it's time to get off the ship." Seeing that everyone on the deck had almost left, Ning Yuan was still standing there motionless, and Huyan Yuanchen couldn't help calling him out.

Ning Yuan shook his head, nodded numbly, turned around and walked towards the gangway, and walked down the vermilion wooden ladder step by step, getting closer, getting closer, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze paused on that On the man who has been bowing with arms folded, look at the spotless brocade gown on his body, at his black hair tied tightly like black jade, at his broad shoulders, at his rounded ears.

As if he had traveled through a long time and space, crossed the boundary between life and death, and he stood in front of him again, but this time, the admiration and love in the past were gone, leaving only the unforgettable hatred and love. blame.

He used to know everything about Sikong Xu, and he also knew his unbearable experiences in the past, and it was the empathy for the two people's childhood experiences that made Ning Yuan fall into his tender trap, not only fell in love with him, but also wholeheartedly Helping him, as if it was helping himself, but neglecting the most important point, he, Ning Yuan, and him, Sikong Xu, are fundamentally different people.

Even if they also have a miserable past, so what, even if they all want to use their own hands to change the situation, they are still different in essence. This essence is that in order to achieve his goal, Sikong Xu can use whatever means to use innocent people. He would hurt the people around him, take out all his passionate hearts and crush them, and squeeze out the warm blood inside to rush his way to success. Ning Yuan would not be able to do such a thing even if he died. come out.

Memories are endless, but there is an end to the gangway. When Ning Yuan finally stepped onto the pier and walked past the person who used to be with him but is now a stranger. The man who bowed his waist, as if saluting himself, paused in his footsteps, moved his lips lightly, and said something that he couldn't understand clearly.

But Sikong Xu heard these words. At that moment, his heart beat three times like thunder. He didn't even care that Sikong Yue would be furious. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Ning Yuan's fading away With a thin back, what echoed in his ears were those four words that made his heart tremble like thunder.

"I am back."

Who is he... Sikong Xu couldn't hide the horror in his heart. He obviously didn't recognize him, and he had never even met him. Why would he say "I'm back" to himself, but he would be so excited, happy, There is even fear, regret?

Why is this happening?

When Sikong Xu was inexplicably terrified, Ning Yuan had already crossed the pier bridge, and stood at the end of the group of nobles with low eyebrows, as if trying to drown himself in the crowd.

"Fourth brother, this hall has not asked you to stand up yet, why did you stand up like this, but do you feel dissatisfied with this hall's salute?" Seeing that Sikong Xu straightened up, Sikong Yue snorted coldly and shouted.

Sikong Xu was shocked, and hastily bent down again, "Brother Emperor, atonement, brother, brother, it seems that the emperor saw an acquaintance just now..."

"Acquaintances?" Si Kongyue frowned and said, "If you want to perfunctory me, you can find some words to perfuse me. There are a few young masters in Liehuajing that you don't recognize. If you say acquaintances, there are acquaintances everywhere." After a pause, Si Kongyue waved his hand again, "Forget it, I don't want to haggle with you on these details, but the palace has been cleaned up, and I will hold a big banquet tonight to entertain you young masters. I have already informed you of this Yes, there is no room for error."

Sikong Xu hastily saluted again, "Yes, the matter that the big emperor ordered has already been prepared, but it is still early, the emperor and you can go to the palace to have a rest first, and when the dinner is ready, I will send it to you." Pass on everyone to be seated."

The spring outing arranged by Sikong Yue today is actually very simple. Everyone will accompany him to take the Sea Dragon King and walk along the canal to the palace, and then have a dinner in the palace, and then the young master from Huajing can stay in the palace for a long time, and wait for the palace banquet next month After the event is over, they can return to Huajing together with the big troops, and the local young masters in Jiangzhou will of course go back to their respective homes.

The pier where the dragon boat docked is at the side entrance of the palace. After walking through the plank road, a group of people walked through a corridor, and it suddenly opened up in front of them. It was a wide garden. When they arrived, they rushed over to them, offering seasonal fresh fruits and fine nectar and fine wine in their hands.

Sikong Yue was obviously very useful. Seeing that the court ladies were more handsome than the other, he immediately hugged one on the left and the other on the right, and sat down directly.

Sikong Xu followed behind everyone and said loudly: "The dinner party will be held in this Baichun Garden. You can freely enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden, or walk around in the palace. Although the Jiangzhou Palace is not big, the scenery is quite unique. .”

Several noble sons immediately bid farewell to Sikong Xu, and the eunuch led them to visit around, while the rest sat down like Sikong Yue, drinking and tasting fruits, watching singing and dancing.

Huyan Yuanchen glanced around, originally intending to find Ning Yuan's location, but Jing Yi grabbed his sleeves and said, "Brother Huyan, I heard that there is a 'Treasure Hall' in the Jiangzhou Palace, which specializes in collecting some strange skills and obscene tricks. Your plaything, haven’t you been here before, take me to have a look!”

As a last resort, seeing that Ning Yuan could not be found, he turned his head and followed the elated Jing Yi.

At this moment, Ning Yuan had already left the garden a long way ago.

Walking through the small paths and corridors with ease, he finally stood in front of a pagoda-shaped building with a gold-plated plaque "Library" on the vermilion gate.

Ning Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to push open the door. There were no palace guards on the first floor of the library, and even lack of cleaning. It was densely packed.

I remember that in the past, his favorite thing to do was to pick up a book at random in the afternoon, climb to the top floor of this building, and read while overlooking the entire Jiangzhou Palace. This miscellany is good, he can always read it quickly.

Walking around the hall, Ning Yuan didn't go upstairs, so he retreated from the hall. If he went upstairs, he would inevitably be hurt, but now, he has no leisure to feel sad, he has other things to do.

Out of the library, and walked northward for a while, there is a spacious sleeping hall, among the countless sleeping halls in the palace, only this one is the most luxurious, and the eunuch standing at the entrance of the hall is also doing his duty, see Ning Yuan Walking towards this side, he took two quick steps and stood in front of Ning Yuan: "My lord, this is the Shanhai Palace, you are not allowed to enter or leave at will."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look." Ning Yuan glanced at the gate of the palace from a distance, and instead of continuing to move forward, he turned and walked back.

But the moment he turned around, no one saw the coldness in his eyes.

If he wanted to seek revenge from Sikong Xu, he suddenly thought that a great opportunity had already been delivered to him.

028 The storm rises

The banquet held in the palace is naturally much richer than the luncheon held on the boat, because the palace is close to the mountains, in addition to some common dishes, there are also a lot of novel game, especially a plate of pangolins placed in front of Sikong Yue , This thing is a rare item in Huajing, which made Sikong Yue's index finger twitch, and he drank a few more glasses of wine than usual.

Sikong Xu stood up and toasted Sikongyue, "Knowing that the emperor's brother is coming today, the emperor specially invited several local famous chefs from Jiangzhou City. The emperor's brother is satisfied with the food."

"So-so." Sikong Yue put another piece of pangolin meat into his mouth, not intending to drink with Sikong Xu at all, but said: "Young brother, you are polite, as long as you serve with heart, you will naturally be able to return to Beijing for your brother." Say a few good words for you in front of your father, so that you can leave this shitty place sooner."

Being ridiculed in public, Si Kongxu didn't feel embarrassed, just smiled, put down his wine glass and sat down gracefully, while unconsciously looking at the boy in white who was sitting at the end.

From just now, he has always felt that he and that young man seemed to have known each other, but after several observations, he had to be sure that he had never met him before, but where did this sense of familiarity come from?

Feeling a bunch of searching gazes on him, Ning Yuan raised his head and licked the corner of his mouth at Sikong Xu.

Sikong Xu suddenly felt his back tense, the young man showed a very modest smile, how could he feel an inexplicable chill coming from his body?

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancers who had been rehearsed for a long time stepped on musical symbols and danced with water sleeves, forming a pattern of lotus flowers in the center of this Baichun Garden, and each of them held a lantern to dance, and the young masters who were present around them also danced. The cups of wine were in full swing, but Ning Yuan suddenly got up and walked towards the dark place outside the garden, his figure was quickly submerged in the darkness.

Sikong Xu thought for a while, and saw that Sikongyue was being laughed out loud by the two dancers who were close to him, not paying attention to himself at all, so he also stood up and followed Ning Yuan quietly.

Except for the place where the banquet was held, there were no lanterns in the garden, and it was pitch black, but Ning Yuan seemed to ignore the darkness completely, avoiding every branch and every piece of gravel with ease, and finally bypassed a rockery and stopped at a By the edge of a small, sparkling pond.

"Your Highness has been following behind for so long, but do you have something to do with the younger one?" Without turning around, Ning Yuan stood by the pond and said loudly.

There was another rustling sound of footsteps behind the rockery, and Sikong Xu came out from behind with a smile.The place was empty, and the bright moonlight poured down, making his gentle and jade-like face even more dazzling, "I wanted to follow quietly, but was still discovered by the young master. It's really embarrassing."

"See Your Highness Fourth." Ning Yuan nodded lightly, with no intention of saluting at all, "I'm a little timid, and what I fear most in my life is a cold knife stabbed in the back, so I will be particularly sensitive to the voice behind me, and I can find His Highness That's normal too."

Sikong Xu was taken aback, "Have you ever been plotted against with a cold knife from behind?"

Ning Yuan said: "Although there are not, there will always be a few cold knives that are hard to guard against in this world. It is always right to plan ahead, what do you think, Your Highness."

Sikong Xu chuckled twice, "Young master is really a wonderful person. Indeed, there are always a few cold knives that are hard to guard against in the world. I should learn from you and practice some skills to plan for rainy days." After a pause, he finally spoke. Said: "I seem to be seeing you for the first time, and I haven't asked you about your name yet."

"Ning Yuan." Ning Yuan didn't hide anything, and said his name lightly.

"Ning Yuan..." Sikong Xu recalled it carefully for a moment, and finally realized that it was indeed the first time he had heard this name, but the official family named Ning, based on his understanding of Jiangzhou, only Wu'an Bo Ning Ruhai family.

Ning Ruhai saw that his official position was not high, he was just a garrison, but he was a military figure who held the garrison in his hands, and he was also the type of person Sikong Xu wanted to be close to the most. He suddenly fell seriously ill before, and he hasn't been seen for a long time. The second son Ning Xiang is the most prominent, but because of his arrogant nature, he is the character that Si Kongxu hates the most, so he didn't pay attention to it. , should be the third son whose name is rarely mentioned.

I heard that Ning Ruhai's third son was born to a prostitute, so he has always been very shameless in the Ning Mansion, and few people have seen him.After guessing Ning Yuan's identity, Sikong Xu faintly retreated in his heart. Even if such a concubine with no status and a mother with a low status can win him over, it will not help his great cause. would be a burden.At first, I thought he was a noble man with a high bearing, and I thought he was the noble son of some unborn big family. With that inexplicable sense of familiarity, I quietly followed him out. I thought this trip would be in vain
