I ran away after slacking my apprentice

Li Gui was thrown into prison.

Murong Yan knew about this in the early morning, so he rushed to the prison at noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Ning Jiwei looked through the gap in the window and watched Murong Yan leave before leaving the mansion fully dressed.

What Murong Yan didn't know was that apart from close-quarters attacks, Ning Jiwei also practiced light kungfu very well, so the Prince's Mansion couldn't trap him from the very beginning, what trapped him was the bet made by Murong Yan.

And Ning Jiwei left the mansion quietly today, for no other reason.

Just because he received Xiao Yuhe's letter again, there were only two words in the letter: Come quickly.

Ning covered his face slightly with a light veil, entered through the side door of the Yunhe Tower, and went up to the third floor.

As soon as I opened the door...

"Jiwei, you've come!" Xiao Yuhe pulled Ning Jiwei into the room, and then closed the door eagerly.

Ning Jiwei was staggered by the force, managed to stabilize his figure, sat on the chair and took off his veil, raised his eyes and asked: "You called me so urgently in your letter, what happened?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yuhe pulled his chair and sat down. He knocked on the table with his folding fan, "I shouldn't ask you this, right? What happened to you? Why did you stay in the prince's mansion for so long and refused to ask?" Leave? To take advantage of the Third Prince?"

At first when Xiao Yuhe heard that Ning Jiwei was brought into the Prince's Mansion, he thought that Ning Jiwei's merits were not bad, and it should not take much effort to escape from the Prince's Mansion. As a last resort, he sent a message to Ning Jiwei.

Unexpectedly, the letter was delivered, but Ning Jiwei did not reply. Xiao Yuhe thought that since Ning Jiwei could receive the letter, it should be fine, so he thought about waiting for a while, but now almost two months have passed No, Xiao Yuhe couldn't hold back, so he called out Ning Jiwei.

Hearing the word "Third Prince", Ning Jiwei trembled for no reason, and he thought of the scene of Murong Yan leaving the palace today.

Going in a hurry, what could it be for?

"Jiwei, hello! Why don't you speak?" Xiao Yuhe waved the folding fan in front of Ning Jiwei's eyes, "Also, why didn't you reply to the letter I sent you? We are all worried about you! "

Ning Jiwei finally came back to his senses, his gaze lowered, he didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yuhe's eyes, and said indifferently: "Forgot."

"Forgot?" Xiao Yuhe gave Ning Ji a slight look in shock, "You actually forgot such an important thing!"

"Well... sorry." I didn't sleep last night, and I ate very little, and the day before... Ning felt a little unwell, and frowned, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first, the prince's mansion." , I have been away for a long time, I am afraid that someone will find that I am not in the room."

"Go back?" Xiao Yuhe was even more shocked, "Wait, wait!"

Xiao Yuhe pressed Ning Jiwei's shoulder, and said again: "I'll stroke it for you. So now, you decided to use the third prince to enter the palace to assassinate, right?"

The strength on the shoulders never restrained, Ning Jiwei felt pain when pressed, Ning Jiwei couldn't help but slapped Xiao Yuhe's hand away, "Yes."

"But that's the third prince, how do you use him? Threats? Incentives?" None of these will work!Xiao Yuhe was very puzzled, and said again: "If you haven't figured out a way, I can help you, as long as you ask."

Ning Jiwei said helplessly: "No need..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yuhe approaching, staring at Ning Jiwei's neck suddenly, "tsk tsk" and said: "Jiwei, your red seal..."

Xiao Yuhe shook his folding fan, and suddenly realized, "There is something wrong with you, Jiwei! Do you have a sweetheart in mind?"

Could it be...or someone from the prince's mansion?Could it be that Ning Jiwei fell in love with the third prince's sweetheart, and then this sweetheart and Ning Jiwei fell in love with each other, so the two couldn't help themselves... After that, it was logical for Ning Jiwei to blackmail the third prince with his sweetheart, so as to enter the palace to assassinate the goal of!

yes!It must be so!Otherwise, how could Ning Jiwei refuse his help?After all, he is the third prince. How can he force the third prince to pave the way for the assassination of the emperor without any evidence?

"No..." Ning Ji blocked his neck slightly, he didn't pay attention to this place when he left the house, but Xiao Yuhe spotted it unexpectedly.

"Oh, what are you ashamed of?" Xiao Yuhe only thought that Ning was slightly ashamed and annoyed, and said: "If you like it, you will like it. It's no big deal if you have a sweetheart. Tell me, which girl is it?"

"Like it?" Ning Jiwei felt that the red mark on his neck was so hot that his fingertips couldn't bear the heat, so he had to remove it.

Murong Yan often said this word to him.

Thinking of Murong Yan, Ning trembled uncontrollably, like some kind of signal.

strangeness!What happened to me?Why do you always think of Murong Yan?

Seeing the confusion in Ning Jiwei's eyes, Xiao Yuhe said "oh" clearly, he knew that Ning Jiwei was stubborn and closed-minded because of the previous affairs since he was a child, and he never loved anyone, so he didn't know How to love someone, you must not even know that you like someone.

"I like it..." Xiao Yuhe elongated his tone and frowned, "Actually, it's not that complicated. For example, what's your attitude when you see me? What's your attitude when you see that girl? If you like it, then you treat her naturally Different, special, always thinking of her."

Thinking about him all the time...?

Ning Jiwei frowned slightly.

"Uh, it doesn't seem appropriate to compare me with her." Xiao Yuhe laughed awkwardly, and said again: "In short, what I like is... joyful to see, ecstatic to think about, crazy to think about, Thinking about it."

Thinking about...going?

At that time, the snow-blue curtain outside the door swayed slightly, and a corner fell with the wind, forming a blurred shadow in Ning Jiwei's eyes, and within that shadow, the outline of Murong Yan became more and more clear.

Like... lingering.

And this room, Murong Yan has already entered the palace.

He came to the prison this time because he wanted to see Li Gui for the last time.

The Holy Majesty has already ordered Li Gui to be exiled. After that, he will live, grow old, get sick and die, and he will never return to the imperial city.

There was no light in the dark prison, and the jailer respectfully opened the prison door for the visitor. After the chains were untied heavily, a disheveled person half hidden in the darkness was revealed in the depths of the prison door.

"Lord Li." Murong Yan stood still at the boundary between light and dark, and called out.

Hearing this, Li Gui pushed back the messy hair covering his forehead, he frowned and took a look, "Third Highness, why should you condescend to come to this prison?"

Li Gui's tone seemed extremely calm, and Murong Yan smiled lightly, but his expression was completely cold, "Lord Li was sent to prison by the sage, but he can still deal with it calmly. In such a state of mind, could it be that he feels that he still has salvation?" ?”

"It's a pity..." Murong Yan dragged his tone cruelly, "Master Li is thinking about King Yu, but King Yu may not necessarily be thinking about you."

"What did you say!" Li Gui was so stabbed by those words that he didn't even care about his dignity, he stepped forward a few steps ferociously, and almost strangled Murong Yan's neck.

Murong Yan glanced at him indifferently, and said again: "Master Li, why is he so harsh? You have been an official for many years, don't you know the truth? You are just an abandoned son to King Yu now, how could he save an abandoned son?" Woolen cloth?"

"But this hall is different. This hall has always been kind. If Master Li is willing to answer the questions of this hall, although this hall cannot save you, it can save your family and save them from the suffering of exile. It is also..." Murong Yan's eyes A savage look flashed across her face, "Save me from the difficulty of being decapitated."

"You..." Li Gui shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible, His Majesty is merciful, and will never kill all my relatives..."

"It's you!" Li Gui's eyes were wide open, almost jumping out of their sockets, and he said harshly, "Or... King Yu!"

Murong Yan looked at Li Gui's tightened fingertips indifferently, his veined hand could reach Murong Yan's fair neck, "Is it important who did it? You have no one to rely on, only this hall, willing to protect them."

Murong Yan frowned, "So, let's make a decision as soon as possible, Master Li?"

"You..." The light in the cell moved a few inches, and it happened to shine on Li Gui's face. Maybe he felt filthy, so he withdrew his hand before the light came over, and fell decadently back into the depths of the cell, " What does Your Highness want to ask?"

"Just ask..." Murong Yan raised his gaze, "When the former dynasty fell, who exactly ordered the massacre of the former royal family?"

According to the information found by Cong Qing, Li Gui was also under the command of King Yu Murong Changsheng in the past. When he attacked the former dynasty, Li Gui had entered the palace with the army, so Murong Yan was sure that Li Gui was definitely the one who ordered the order. know.

"The previous court?" Li Gui laughed mockingly, it was many years ago, "The one who can issue the order of massacre, His Highness will not think it is the Holy One, right? Of course it is... Prince Yu."

"Uncle?" Murong Yan frowned suddenly, he thought that King Yu was just an accomplice in this matter, but he never thought that King Yu was the mastermind! "But he has no enmity with the former royal family, why did he issue this order?"

Not to mention enmity, in the past when the former dynasty was still alive, King Yu was the deputy general of the former dynasty, and he was quite favored. If it is true, then the emperor of the former dynasty should also have a friendship with King Yu, how could it be slaughtered? this step?

"No enmity?" Li Gui felt that the words were ridiculous, and shook his head, "Your Highness is wrong, if there is no enmity, how could King Yu hold the Holy One as the new emperor in the past? Prince Yu, he is not someone who has the world in his heart. people."

"It's just because...the former emperor was incompetent and ruined the lives of his parents, so he has a grudge."

Murong... This surname was the surname of a military general in the previous dynasty before the new emperor ascended the throne. That military general was Murong Yan's grandfather and Murong Changsheng's father.

It's just that the war in the previous dynasty forced all the generals to go out to fight. Murong Yan's grandfather also died in the war.

Later, Murong Changsheng inherited his father's behest, and he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy before reaching the weak crown.

But what Murong Changsheng didn't expect was that the generals were fighting outside while their relatives lived in the imperial city without the protection of the emperor.

"The army from another country set foot on the banks of the Yangliu River that year..." Li Gui's thoughts seemed to return to many years ago, "Although he has never entered the imperial city, but because the army stopped, the previous emperor ordered the imperial city to be blocked for several days. panic."

In such a situation, people are always afraid, so the streets and alleys were empty in those days, and the people shut their doors.

But at that time, Murong Changsheng's mother fell ill.

The servants of Murong Mansion couldn't invite a doctor, so they wanted to pass the news to the palace.

But... the gate of the palace is closed.
