Death Princess

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, from the arrival of the first snow, it has become almost the end of the year.Today is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, which is a small year, but it is also the birthday of Prince He Yuhui.For the birthday banquet at night, the whole palace, especially the East Palace, was already busy before dawn early in the morning.It wasn't until after the application period, when officials and their families began to enter the palace one after another, that the preparations for the birthday banquet were considered appropriate amidst the seldom turmoil in the palace.

It was very lively outside, but in the study of the East Palace, it was still eerily quiet.The host of the birthday banquet, He Yuxi, who was supposed to be busy socializing outside, somehow found a loophole, went back to the study, and wrote something on the case.

"Your Highness." Jia Ding and Shi Shi knelt on one knee in front of He Yuxi.

"There are so many people today, but it's also a good day to fish in troubled waters." He Yuxi seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to Shishi, "Is there anything unusual about King Ping?"

"Return to Your Highness, not yet. However, there are some clues about what His Highness asked his subordinates to investigate before."

"Oh?" He Yuxi raised his head and stopped writing.Shi Shi sensibly leaned to his ear and reported something.

After a while, "Really?"

"Return to Your Highness, the news should not be false." Shi Shi knelt back to his original place.

"Okay, okay, okay," picked up the pen again, "I see, you go down. Remember, you must keep an eye on King Ping."

"Yes!" Shi Persimmon disappeared.

Picking up the pen, He Yuxi curled up the corners of his mouth, and wrote two words on the blank paper, "燚" and "shu".As soon as he finished writing, he dropped the pen again, crumpled the paper, and threw it into the stove beside him.Watching the black and white words in the stove slowly turn into ashes, He Yuxi felt a kind of pleasure in his heart that the thorn in his flesh was burned to ashes.

. . .

Under He Yuxi's order, Shi Shi, who was squatting on a hidden place on the roof to observe the palace, found a figure she couldn't help but notice among the passing crowd.It was a man in the uniform of the imperial forest. He had a featureless face that was almost forgettable. He put his hand on the knife expressionlessly and patrolled.

But Shi Shi could not fail to remember this face, or in other words, she would not fail to know who was hiding under this plain face.She quietly followed that man until he finished his shift, took off the knife, and followed him out of the palace.

That man was walking on his own, as a royal guard, as a martial arts practitioner, but he didn't seem to know the tail behind him at all.He leisurely walked to a remote dead end and stopped.

"Come out." He said.

For the opponent's sudden attack, Shi Shi didn't seem surprised, but jumped from the wall to the opponent obediently. "Shi Run." She called him like this, but she didn't dare to raise her head, "Why are you going to the palace?"

"What do you think?" The man raised half his eyelids.

"...the matter of the princess, there is a reason." Shi Shi clenched his fists.

"Oh?"

"Pretending to be a princess is definitely not a long-term solution." Shi Shi raised his head as if he had made up his mind.

"Why?" Shi Run was unmoved by it, "Princess Changping is just the emperor's niece, and she just entered the palace three years ago, a few months less than the time you spent lurking around the prince, how could it not work? Could it be?" Cheng, you have been a dog by the prince's side for a long time, and you have completely forgotten your housekeeping skills?"

"No," Shi Shi gritted his teeth, "no matter how much I look like, he will recognize it."

"Who? Princess Changping has no relatives or reasons in this palace, who would know?" Shi Run became interested.

"He..." Shi Shi hesitated.

"Huh?" Shi Run was very sensitive, "What are you hiding from me?"

"I do not have."

"No?" Shi Run narrowed his eyes, and there was a dangerous atmosphere in the air.

After a long time, Shi Shi raised his head again, "Does it have to be like this?" For the first time, a crack exploded by emotion and thinking appeared in the cold and ruthless stone, "What happened in the previous generation must be done by us." Is this generation of people repaying their grievances like this? If the emperor slaughtered our entire family, what does that have to do with Princess Changping who has just entered the palace for three years? Isn’t it just the emperor who we want to kill? We must be like the He family back then. Like us, kill them all?"

It was a long time of silence that answered Shi Persimmon.

It was a gloomy little snow day, and I don't know when it cleared up.

"I..." It was Shi Shi who broke the silence.

"Oh, that's what you think?" Shi Run interrupted her.

"I..." A ray of sunlight shone on Shi Shi's face covered in black cloth. For some reason, this kind of light without shadows made her unable to open her eyes, "I... don't know."

"I don't know." Suddenly, "Shi Run"'s voice changed.

Shi Shi froze, his pupils widened, and then the usual indifferent expression on his face was shattered and cracked as if struck by a huge thunder.Because, she saw a silver-white light on "Shi Run", and after the white light passed, she saw a face that she never dared to face since that day.

For some reason, the black cloth that covered his face floated down and landed on the white snow. Against the bright sunshine, it looked extremely out of season.

"'I don't know', so you did those things, and Yi'er almost couldn't come back." After the silver light faded, it was Qin Hui.

"I..." Shi Shi's tightly clenched fists were trembling along with her expression.

"Nothing," Qin Hui turned sideways for some unknown reason, unwilling to look at Shishi again.The sunshine at the beginning of the snow shone on his side face, portraying the edges and corners in a particularly sad way, "Since we first met three years ago, I knew that you had a secret in you, and that you must have something else hidden by the prince's side." Tu, but just like you know about my relationship with Yi'er, I have never studied yours carefully, but just cooperate with each other according to what we need."

"On the surface, we are just cooperation with the same interests. But in fact, I have already regarded you as a brother and a close friend," Qin Hui frowned deeply, "I regard you as a close friend, but obviously, I am In your eyes, it is not."

After a pause, "However," he squeezed out a smile, "I can't blame you. After all, in this intriguing imperial city, even close relatives of flesh and blood would hold knives at each other, so why would you have a close friend?"

"I……"

"Forget it," Qin Hui tore off a section of his robe without waiting for Shishi's excuse, "The matter of Yi'er is over in the past, but this 'let go', only this time. In the future... See you next time, everyone will be his own master and perform his duties, so take care of yourself." After speaking, he disappeared on the other side of the wall without looking back.

The corner of the blue robe fell to the ground, and it was placed side by side with the black mask, which was extremely dazzling.

With a plop, Shi Shi's legs softened and he knelt on the ground.Holding the icy white snow with both hands, he tightly pinched the blue robe.

"I regard you as a close friend, but obviously, I am not in your eyes. Also, in this imperial city full of intrigues, where can a close friend come from?" Qin Hui's voice echoed repeatedly in Shi Shi's mind.

Circumcision...does justice?

Pat, something wet dripped on the frozen back of his hand, and then fell down again. The moment it touched the blue robe, it condensed into ice.

"Hey—" In the distance, where Shi Shi could not hear, someone sighed.

If you want to play hard to get, if you want to make it for your own use, you must first...

. . .

Time went back to half an hour ago, in the palace, the unattractive Imperial Forest Army really existed.He was indeed like what Shi Shi saw at the beginning, he turned over his shift, took off his knife, changed his clothes, and walked out of the palace.But after that, everything was different. Before he could go far, he was forced to stop in a forest outside the palace.

At the moment of the sword light sword movie, the man was tied up and dragged into the depths of the woods.

"Suppress it, and leave it to His Highness." A black-clothed man with a night sword hanging on his waist and the Fengyuwei symbol printed on the corner of his robe said.Hearing the words, the other two men in black supported the man who was powerless to resist, and were about to move forward.

Suddenly, "Slow down! Get out of the way!" The fourth person who had been standing beside him shouted, his voice sounded familiar, it was Peng San.

After all, they are masters, Peng San's words have not finished yet, the four of them have moved away by more than three feet with quick eyes and hands.I saw them leave with their front feet, and the man who was tied into rice dumplings on his back feet was on fire. It didn't take a moment, and with the snow that was burned out of black mud, the people on the ground had become a stench Smoked charcoal.

Jingle, Jingle.

Hanging on the four-person night knife as the tassel, the little finger big bell that never makes a sound easily, as if it had been agreed, rang with the same rhythm and size.

When the bell rings, evil arrives.Ye Dao Jian Sui is Feng Yuwei who has something that can recognize spiritual power.

"Is it evil, spiritual art?" Holding the bell in front of him, the shortest Feng Yuwei said to himself, "Using spiritual art to commit suicide?"

"No, no," Peng San slowly approached the charred corpse, shaking his head, "The bell should have rang long ago, but we couldn't hear it."

"Could it be...?"

"That's right," bent down, fiddled with the scabbard around the collar of the charred corpse a few times, and pulled out a pendant thick as chopsticks, but although the outside of the pendant was not destroyed by the fire, the inside of the pendant did not know what happened. For some reason, it became pitch black and even had a crack, "If I guessed right, this person must have used some method to make the four of us fall into illusion not long after leaving the palace. After all, the palace is heavily guarded. Reckless use of spiritual techniques will only attract the attention of the Fengyuwei in the dark, making the possibility of escape very small, but it is different outside the palace."

"As for this person, he should be just a scapegoat. The one we want to arrest should have escaped the moment he left the palace." Peng San picked up the pendant with his hand, and handed it to the companion beside him, " Go quickly, take this thing with you, and inform His Highness together with what happened just now."

"Yes!" The person holding the pendant walked away.

"Ordinary people, but can use spiritual skills?" Peng San rubbed his chin to himself, there was such an omission here, so, can Master Qin's side go well?He should be able to, after all, he is a genuine spiritual master.
