I ran away after slacking my apprentice

The emperor sealed off the imperial city and the palace because of fear, so the news was not passed to the palace. In the end, the servants of the Murong mansion went from door to door begging for a doctor to go to the Murong mansion.

But it was too late.

What's even more tragic is that the emperor was afraid that the news of his relative's death would affect Murong Changsheng's battle, so he suppressed the news. hour……

He even missed his mother's funeral.

However, Murong Changsheng violated the military order, and the general returned to the imperial city without being summoned. He ignored the war, and was dealt with by the emperor according to the law, and he was dismissed from his official position.

"After this incident, King Yu felt that the previous dynasty was unkind, so he joined forces with the former emperor to plan an army, and finally broke into the palace, trapping the former royal family in front of the steps."

Recalling the scene of that day, even Li Gui, who is used to seeing blood, felt a chill down his spine.

He remembered that it was Murong Changsheng who led the army into the palace as the vanguard that day.

Perhaps because of the death of his parents and the stimulus of his dismissal from the previous court, Murong Changsheng's temperament had changed drastically at that time. The first thing he did after he broke into the palace was to arrest all the royal family of the previous court, and then One knife at a time...

Ling Chi executed!

"King Yu is paranoid. No one dares to disobey the order of massacre. By the time the Holy Majesty arrives, it will be too late..." Li Gui's eyes were scattered, and he didn't know where he was looking.

Li Guiyue felt the sarcasm, and said again: "Because of the brotherhood, the Holy One resisted the infamy of massacring the former royal family for him, and after that he pardoned the world. This matter, as time goes by, few people I see."

Murong Yan clenched the fingertips hidden in his sleeves tightly, and even the palms were covered with cold sweat, "Then, what about the former prince? The previous dynasty has been destroyed, and the Holy Majesty has already ordered not to pursue it. Why did you still do it that day?" Go search the Yunhe Building?"

"This matter..." Li Gui said a little unwillingly, "I also don't want to go against the will of the Holy One, but King Yu once promised me a generous salary, so I agreed to him. All along, the search of the former princes It was carried out secretly, but it happened that there was a clue that day, so Lord Cen issued a search warrant."

Li Gui said with some regret: "It's just that, later, His Highness's visit messed up the matter completely, and we lost the clue of the former prince."

"So you mean..." Murong Yan lowered his gaze coldly, "It was King Yu who ordered the investigation of the former prince, and the reason... was the old enmity that made King Yu want to kill the former royal family?"

"Yes."

Li Gui responded, and the boundary line between light and dark suddenly swayed under the shift of light.

The voice of his answer was audible.

At the same time, Xiao Yuhe in the Yunhe Building shook the folding fan in his hand, "Jiwei! What happened to you today? Why are you distracted again and again? Are you listening to me?"

"I..." Ning Ji pressed his heart tremblingly with his fingertips, the place was so agitated because of Murong Yan, it was pounding wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

Ning Jiwei suddenly thought of last night, when the sound of the zither was wafting, he looked at Murong Yan amidst the sound of the zither, he had the same mood, and it was also so uncontrollable.

So... did he actually fall in love with Murong Yan?

"When I was young, I wanted to marry someone with excellent swordsmanship and piano skills..." Ning Jiwei almost murmured.

And Murong Yan happened to be the one who met all his requirements.

But...Murong Yan is the son of the enemy!

"Uh..." Ning Ji frowned in pain, the pain in his heart made it difficult for him to breathe, he pressed his heart tightly, but he couldn't relieve the pain.

Murong Yan!Why Murong Yan!

"Jiwei!" Xiao Yuhe turned pale with shock, he hurried over to support Ning Jiwei, belatedly, he remembered something, and couldn't help but slap his forehead regretfully, "Oh! How did I forget? Yesterday was... "

Yesterday was the death day of Ning Jiwei's parents!

At this time of year, Ning Jiwei not only loses control of his emotional behavior, but also becomes extremely weak physically.

How strange!How could I call him at this time!

"Do you have any medicine?" Ning Ji held Xiao Yuhe's hand weakly.

"Yes, yes! Take it with you!" Xiao Yuhe took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and hurriedly poured the medicine into Ning Ji.

"You are weak today, so I won't keep you any longer." After Ning Jiwei calmed down for a moment, Xiao Yuhe took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to Ning Jiwei.

"This is the second thing I asked you for today. There are four pills in this box, one for the drug, one for the poison, and the remaining two are the antidote for the drug and the poison. If..."

Xiao Yuhe looked at Ning Jiwei, his eyes were extremely eager at that moment, "If you want to leave the Prince's Mansion in the future, the medicine in this box should be able to help you."

When Murong Yan walked out of the prison, it was almost dusk, he was about to go back to the mansion, but unfortunately at this time, the emperor's decree came, but he had no choice but to follow the eunuch who delivered the decree, and went to the imperial study.

As soon as he arrived at the imperial study room, Murong Yan was about to salute, he raised his eyebrows, but saw the second person in the imperial study room besides the emperor - Murong Changsheng.

Murong Yan frowned, wondering, how could the emperor's uncle appear in the imperial study room now that he has already passed the court?

"A Yan." Murong Yan, who is now the Holy One, raised his hand towards Murong Yan, waiving his courtesy, and said again: "Come closer."

Murong Yan stepped forward according to his words, "Father summoned his ministers here today, but what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." Murong Yan sat on the main seat, his face that was [-]% similar to Murong Yan looked quite indifferent.He does not show his age, but with a Chen Ning appearance, he is majestic in a dragon robe, and the bright yellow cuffs are tightened, revealing a thin wrist in between.

At this moment, the wrist was resting on the rice paper, holding the wolf without any rush, and he didn't know what he was writing.

"Beyond the imperial city, a strange case has been reported." Murong Qian's tone was very calm, he dipped a brush in his hand to dip the ink, wrote a stroke on the rice paper, and said: "Now that Cen Aiqing is on leave, this strange case will be put on hold for the time being. No one is going to investigate, Ah Yan thinks, what should I do?"

What Murong Yan said was not straightforward, but Murong Yan guessed the implication, "Father...do you want my son to investigate?"

The corners of Murong Wang's lips curled up very shallowly, and his brows and eyes became more gentle, "Then Ah Yan, do you want to go by yourself?"

Originally the emperor's personal order, even with the current tone of inquiry, Murong Yan could not refuse, but he was still thinking about Ning Jiwei in the mansion, so he had no intention of investigating the case, so he wanted to push the matter away, but unexpectedly Before he could reply, Murong Changsheng, who was beside Murong Qu, spoke first.

"That strange case involved a person from the rivers and lakes..." Murong Changsheng paused, his face was completely different from Murong's, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and even because of years of fighting, his eyebrows and eyes were tainted. The hostility makes people dare not look directly.

"Civil servants, after all, they are powerless. Where can we find people from the Jianghu?" Murong Changsheng snorted, "So it is not suitable for anyone else to replace that strange case. Only you, Ah Yan, can take on this important task. !"

As the prince, Murong Yan has not held any official position in the court. It stands to reason that it is not up to him to investigate the case, and no matter how bad it is, the prince is in charge. He is really puzzled, what is the purpose of Murong Changsheng in electing him like this? , "Uncle Emperor, I..."

Murong Yan hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Murong Changsheng, "Among the princes, Ah Yan has the best martial arts skills, so he must share his majesty's worries, isn't he?"

As soon as these words came out, even the wolf hair in Murong Qiang's hand stopped.

There was a moment of silence in the royal study.

"I..." Murong Yan frowned, these words praised him too much, and he could only accept it or not, so he could only lower his head, "My son... listen to your father's orders."

"En." Murong Qian replied lightly, "Then let's go, start now, within seven days, I want the case to come to light."

"Yes." Murong Yan could only agree.

This case happened too coincidentally, as if Murong Yan was deliberately transferred away from the imperial city, Murong Yan felt a little uneasy.

When leaving the imperial study room, Murong Yan couldn't help but cast a glance at Murong Changsheng who was next to the Holy Master, the latter looked on as usual, and nodded towards Murong Yan, showing the appearance of an elder.

In Murong Yan's impression, as his uncle, Murong Changsheng had taught him when he was young that such a person, even if he had a paranoid personality and cared about blood ties, probably... would not lay hands on him.

Furthermore, Murong Yan's going to prison is only today's event, even if Murong Changsheng discovered something in such a short period of time, it was too late to make arrangements.

It should be... nothing will happen, right?

Murong Yan heaved a sigh of relief, met Murong Changsheng's gaze, and finally suppressed the doubts in his heart, and left the imperial study room without stopping.

And after Murong Yan left...Murong Yan finally stopped the pen in his hand, put the wolf hair aside, and looked at Murong Changsheng who was beside him, "Ah Yan has never assisted the Ting Wei, why did you recommend this case so much?" Him? Just because he has excellent martial arts?"

"This..." Murong Changsheng withdrew his gaze, his deep eyebrows were drawn down, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

He thought of the portrait that he saw inadvertently in the prince's mansion a few days ago. He said it was painted by the prince himself, and the person in the portrait...

Murong Changsheng would never forget the appearance of the former emperor, just as he recognized the face of the person in the painting and the face of the former emperor when he saw the painting at a glance.

That was the former prince, Ning Jiwei.

"This painting..." Murong Changsheng looked at the painting calmly, "Could it be Chen'er's sweetheart?"

"If that's the case, that's fine." At that time, Murong Chen sighed, and raised his eyebrows regretfully, "It's a pity that he is in Ah Yan's house, and Ah Yan watched him closely, so it was difficult to see him even once." , What a pity... what a pity!"

"Oh?" Murong Changsheng raised his eyebrows without emotion.

It turned out that Jiao was hiding in the mansion, no wonder the prince's mansion started to trace the matter of the previous court according to the reports from his subordinates.

Thoughts fell back to the royal study.

Murong Changsheng said in a low voice: "Didn't Your Majesty ask about the reason a few days ago? Didn't the minister explain it clearly enough?"

"Your Majesty intends to promote Ah Yan..." Murong Changsheng leaned over, propped his hands on the desk, and just trapped most of Murong's body in it, "I'm just pushing the boat along with the current."

As for the matter of the previous court, so what if Murong Yan found out the truth?

The person he wants to protect cannot be protected after all.

Suddenly a scent of agarwood lingered on the tip of the nose, Murong Qian frowned very calmly.

"Your Majesty, the writing is getting more and more beautiful." Murong Changsheng said.

The aloes left immediately, and the rice paper on the table was stained with a twilight color.

On the rice paper, it was written:

After all the lamps were grown, Sheng Cong Xu Riping.
