Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was something else in the eyes they looked at each other.However, there were too many people present, and it was difficult for Lin Rufei to have more conversations with Gu Xuandu. After looking at him for a while, she looked away, and then turned her gaze back to the three who were crying in Bai Jinglun's arms. on the princess.

As soon as the shadow left the third princess, she woke up, but after waking up, she curled up in Bai Jinglun's arms, crying into tears.

If it were someone else, Bai Jinglun would probably have been scolded by Bai Jinglun long ago, but after all, it was the third princess who he loved the most. When the words of scolding came to his lips, he was still not willing to say it. He just stroked her head behind him and spoke softly. After comforting for a long time, the little girl calmed down.

During the day, Rui and Xuan Qing stood by and watched quietly, not daring to interrupt.

When the third princess had cried enough, Bai Jinglun took out his handkerchief, wiped away his daughter's tears carefully, and said: "Mou Mou stopped crying, he is fine now, what happened, tell Dad quickly."

Lin Rufei was amused listening to it, and thought that this Bai Jinglun was also biased. In the eyes of others, he was the royal father, but in the eyes of the third princess, he became a father.

The third princess was a little stunned by crying, her eyes and nose were red, and her exquisite face looked really pitiful. Lin Rufei remembered that Xuan Qing said before that the appearance of the third princess was very similar to her mother. Thinking about it this way, No wonder Bai Jinglun never forgot her.

"I... I don't remember very clearly." The third princess rubbed her eyes and sobbed, "That day, I had a fight with my brothers and felt sad, so I went to the imperial garden and wanted to be alone. "

"What about after that?" Bai Jinglun asked.

"My maid and I sat under the plum tree for a while, and that plum tree is my concubine's favorite." The third princess said, "I like to say a few words to the plum tree when I have anything on my mind. Then there was a gust of wind that blew my eyes so hard that I couldn't open my eyes, and after that, I didn't know anything." She was in a daze, she was really a poor innocent little rabbit who had suffered all kinds of grievances.

Bai Jinglun said: "Why did you and your brothers quarrel?"

The third princess forced a smile: "It's just... I want to go out and look at the lights, but my brothers said it's not safe for girls to go out."

"Only these?" Bai Jinglun asked.

The third princess bit her lower lip, held it back for a long time, and then said in a low voice with a sobbing voice: "They... say I'm a bastard."

"Bastard!" Bai Jinglun was furious when he heard the words, his expression was extremely ferocious, "Who said that? Is your second brother or sixth brother?"

"The second prince said it first." The third princess said in a daze, "Father, am I really not Mei Fei's biological daughter? I am really..."

"Don't say that word!" Bai Jinglun gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red with hatred, "Okay, my dear sons!"

The royal family always valued bloodlines, and the word "wild species" is simply murderous. Judging from Bai Jinglun's expression, it was clear that the two princes were about to suffer.

"Isn't it the first time they said it right?" Bai Jinglun suddenly thought of something and asked again.

The third princess nodded in a trance, showing a weak smile: "I said it... many times, but I thought they were jealous of my father and loved me, so I didn't take it to heart until..."

Bai Jinglun said: "Until what?"

The third princess didn't speak any more, but threw herself into Bai Jinglun's arms and started crying again.

Bai Jinglun patted her head, comforted her for a while, and then said: "When Mou Mou was unconscious, how did you feel?"

Hearing the words, the three princesses cried less and less, and looked around the room, paused slightly when they passed Xuanqing, but quickly withdrew their eyes, lowered their eyes and said in a low voice: "I feel a little bit, but That feeling is not clear..." She hesitated for a moment, showing a little anxiety, "Dad, did something happen in the palace when I was unconscious?"

Bai Jinglun didn't hide it from her, and said directly: "Your second brother and sixth brother were almost strangled to death."

The third princess's face turned pale immediately, and she was at a loss: "This...does this have something to do with me?"

Bai Jinglun didn't say yes or no, he just stroked the long hair of the third princess and asked her to describe in detail how she felt when she was unconscious. The third princess thought about her words and said in a low voice: "At first I was unconscious, but later I seemed to be pulled into a black swamp by something, and inside, I couldn't move until I heard a voice..."

"What sound?" Bai Jinglun asked with a frown.

The third princess shook her head: "I only know it's a man's voice, I've never heard it before."

As soon as he heard a man's voice, Bai Jinglun frowned even tighter, and asked, "What did he say?"

The third princess said: "He asked me...why I'm not happy..."

Bai Jinglun continued to listen.

"So I told him about the quarrel with my brothers." The third princess said with difficulty, "I can't remember what happened afterwards, it seemed like I was flying in the sky, and I seemed to see a lot of people in a blur. "

Bai Jinglun asked the third princess about the details of her coma, but the third princess gave vague answers. Seeing her confused and tired appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying.In the end, Xuan Qing opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the princess's shadow has just returned to her place, and she should have a good rest at this time. What's the matter, why don't you ask again tomorrow?"

This is exactly what Bai Jinglun meant. There are indeed some conversations between their father and daughter that are not suitable for outsiders to hear.So according to Xuan Qing's words, let the third princess have a good rest, then got up and went out.

After going out, Bai Jinglun asked about the whereabouts of Xuan Qing's shadow, and Xuan Qing pointed to Lin Rufei, saying that he had sealed the shadow in Mr. Lin's sword intent, so that Bai Jinglun didn't have to worry.

Bai Jinglun nodded, and sincerely thanked Xuan Qing.Xuan Qing waved her hands with a smile, saying that the Holy Majesty is too polite, don't worry about such a trivial matter.

They chatted for a few words and then dispersed. Originally, Bai Jinglun insisted that they live in the palace, but Xuan Qing insisted on refusing, so he had no choice but to send a carriage to send them back.The one who came out with them was Bai Rui. Since just now, the prince hadn't spoken much. Sitting in the carriage, he still kept his eyes closed. Xuan Qing laughed and teased him, saying why the prince became dumb today.

Bai Rui sneered and said, "Seeing the scene of their father being kind and their son being filial, I'm very tired."

Xuan Qing said: "I think you are jealous, your brother and children are all piled up, you can't even get a wife."

During the day, Rui stared: "I can't ask for it? I don't want to ask for it—" He looked at Lin Rufei with a smile and asked Lin Rufei's age and whether he was married or not.

Xuan Qing clicked his tongue, and looked at Bai Rui with distaste: "Forget it, Mr. Lin has just reached the crown, you are a round older, and you can be called uncle, so that's a shame."

During the day Ruiqi spat.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the inn, Lin Rufei went down first, but during the day Rui grabbed Xuan Qing and said that he wanted to talk to him alone.Lin Rufei turned around knowingly and said goodbye, and when the two of them were left in the car, Xuan Qing sighed and asked Bai Rui what he wanted to talk about.

During the day, Rui stretched out his hand and pulled down the car curtain, and the light in the car dimmed instantly, and the faces of the two became blurred. During the day, Rui said in a low voice: "Tell me, if my brother hadn't had that incident back then, what would have happened? Good or bad?"

"It's probably a good thing for Bai Jinglun himself," Xuan Qing said.

"What about Dajing?" Bai Rui asked again.

Xuan Qing said: "Didn't the prince already have the answer in his heart?"

Rui sneered during the day: "Trouble."

Xuan Qing said: "The monk is leaving."

"Hey, Monk, why are you leaving in such a hurry." Bai Rui smiled half-smile, "You obviously spent the night drinking with Mr. Lin last night, but now you don't want to say a few more words to me."

Xuan Qing said: "That's different."

Bai Rui said, "What's different?"

Xuan Qing said: "Mr. Lin is a friend of the monk."

Bai Rui said: "Then what about me?"

Xuan Qing said: "It's just passers-by."

During the day, Rui Wenyan's complexion changed drastically, and he grabbed Xuan Qing's collar with his hand, and he said bitterly, "Monk, do you think you and I are just passers-by?"

Xuan Qing looked at Bai Rui calmly, his eyes were no different from his usual eyes, but if one could see compassion from his eyes, then at this moment, this kind of compassion was tinged with indifference.It's as if the gods look down on all living beings and regard them as ants.

The two looked at each other for a long time, during the day Ruihu let go, and returned to his usual cynical look, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "That's all, what do I care about with you poor monk?" He drove Xuan Qing out of the car, and then went back to the palace alone.

Xuan Qing stood at the entrance of the inn for a long time, looking back, it was always in the direction of the palace.It wasn't until Fuhua and Yurui who happened to come back from outside saw him standing at the door and greeted him, that he smiled and nodded to the two, and then went back to the inn.

That night, there was a heavy rain in Dajing.

The rain in each season has its own unique flavor. The summer showers are violent and hot, coming and going quickly, and the thick raindrops are crackling, leaving no chance for people to react.

Lin Rufei couldn't wait to go back to the inn. As soon as she entered the room, Gu Xuandu showed her figure.

"Senior, I haven't seen you for a long time." Lin Rufei said with a smile.

"What's wrong with your mouth?" Gu Xuandu had noticed the two obtrusive wounds on the corners of Lin Rufei's mouth just now, but there were too many people present and it was difficult to talk to Lin Rufei, so he held back until now to ask.

"Oh, this, it's just a minor injury." Lin Rufei waved her hands indifferently, and described the process of her injury lightly.Unexpectedly, he said it lightly, but Gu Xuandu's face changed unpredictablely, from anger at the beginning to embarrassment later, and finally coughed dryly as if nothing had happened, "Oh, that's how it is."

Lin Rufei saw Gu Xuandu's face clearly, but she played a trick, pretending to be innocent and asked: "Is that the shadow of the senior? How did the shadow of the senior fall to Dajing? He also bewitched the three The princess did something bad?"

Gu Xuandu: "...This may be a misunderstanding."

Lin Rufei said: "Misunderstanding?"

Gu Xuandu said: "My shadow has no self-thinking, and it was just an accident to merge with the third princess. Although the third princess said it nicely, she actually has her own thoughts. When her father asks, he will definitely shirk it to something foreign."

Lin Rufei said: "Then her father believed it?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Do you believe it?"

Lin Rufei thought about it: "[-]%."

"Then her father will probably believe it [-]% of the time." Gu Xuandu said, "Emperors are all human beings, how can they be so easy to fool." He said, sitting next to Lin Rufei, and turned his head , looking carefully at the wound on the corner of Lin Rufei's mouth.The wound was not too big, it was slightly red and swollen, and it was particularly annoying on Lin Rufei's pale lips. The more Gu Xuan looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Pressed on the corner of the mouth.His fingers were very cold, and it didn't hurt to press them, but Lin Rufei hissed involuntarily.

Gu Xuan quickly withdrew his hands and said, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Lin Rufei shook her head.

"Does it really hurt?" Gu Xuan didn't believe it.

"It hurts a little when I stuff it in, I really can't bear it." Lin Rufei didn't realize that there was something wrong with her words, "After all, it's such a big thing, and it's very hard..."

A suspicious blush appeared on the base of Gu Xuandu's ears.

Lin Rufei said: "Senior, why are your ears red?"

Gu Xuandu calmly said: "No, you read it wrong."

"Really?" Lin Rufei pointed out the problem suspiciously, "I clearly saw it."

Gu Xuandu said: "I said it all, you read it wrong."

Lin Rufei: "I..." Just halfway through his words, Gu Xuandu covered his face. Before he could react, he felt something moist cover the corner of his lips. When was it, he stayed in place: "Senior..."

Gu Xuan still couldn't finish it, he licked the corner of his lips: "Did Xiao Jiu eat candy just now?"

Lin Rufei said, "I ate some." There were a lot of sweets and pastries in the carriage, and he ate some when he left the palace just now.

"It's sweet." Gu Xuandu narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a nice smile, "It's very sweet."

Lin Rufei touched the corner of her mouth and muttered, "Is there sugar residue?"

"No." Gu Xuandu said, "I mean the little leeks are much sweeter than those candies."

Lin Rufei stared at her eyes, and really couldn't understand why Gu Xuandu said such words so calmly. The worst thing was that he didn't feel that something was wrong. Looking at Gu Xuandu's smiling face, His expression and cheeks couldn't help but raise some heat, and he moved away uncomfortably from the eyes that were looking at Gu Xuandu.

"Ahem, it's getting late, I'll rest first." Lin Rufei said, "Senior... let's rest early too."

"Okay." Gu Xuandu smiled.

Lin Rufei went to bed after washing up, probably because she was really tired, and she put down one thing in her mind, and fell asleep.

Hearing the pattering rain outside the window, Gu Xuandu sighed softly in his heart, but he got up and walked to the window, and disappeared into the room with a flash of his figure.

The rain was a bit heavy, and it splashed on the eaves, and then flowed down the gutters, finally converging into small streams on the ground.After nightfall, a few oil lamps were lit in Tianjun's temple, not too bright, but enough to see things.This temple is the most beautiful and majestic Tianjun Temple in Dajing. Unfortunately, a few days ago, there was a sudden thunderstorm and a fire ignited, which burned most of the temple. It would take some time to restore it to its original state.

Gu Xuandu's footsteps stopped on the eaves of Tianjun Temple, and he saw the sculpture of Tianjun in the temple. The sculpture was vivid, and it must have been made by a master, and it looked a bit like Tianjun.Gu Xuandu jumped into the temple, walked up to the sculpture, and carefully stared at the sculpture in front of him under the dim light.

"Tianjun." He called out this sentence in a low voice.

No one answered, and the pattering rain covered everything. He raised his hand and wanted to touch the statue, but the moment his finger touched the statue, it passed from above.In the state of a spirit body, it is not easy to touch foreign objects, and it is still such a statue entrusted with incense.Gu Xuandu sighed slightly in his heart, and was about to give up, when he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from behind him, he turned his head and saw that it was the monk Xuanqing who should have been resting in the inn, suddenly appeared in front of the temple.

In the heavy rain, he only held an old oil-paper umbrella, and the rain splashed his shoulders, adding dark shadows to the gray cassock.But Xuan Qing's expression was not in a state of embarrassment, she was still calm and gentle, with strict laws.His footsteps also stopped in front of the sculpture, just standing next to Gu Xuandu.

"Tianjun." Xuan Qing smiled, "Long time no see."

If he didn't know that he couldn't see him, Gu Xuan would probably feel that the monk was greeting him, so he said flatly: "Long time no see."

Xuan Qing said: "It rained heavily today, but unfortunately the small temple was broken a few days ago, and you have to work hard to get wet." He took out a handkerchief from his cuff, and carefully splashed it on the face of the Tianjun statue. Wipe clean with rainwater.

Gu Xuandu crossed his arms and looked at Xuanqing silently.

"It's so fast, it's just a blink of an eye, and hundreds of years have passed." Xuan Qing said, "A lot of things are gone. If you pass by He's house, remember to take a look at the iron-gold walnut tree in He's house. What you planted together...now it has become a big tree with branches and leaves." He said, and a few more raindrops fell from the leaky roof next to him, which happened to land on Tianjun's sculpture, like two drops Crystal tears.

Xuan Qing was silent for a while, then raised the umbrella up flat on the ground, directly suspended in mid-air, instead of opening the umbrella for himself, he raised the umbrella to the top of the sculpture.

"When will you come back?" Xuanqing murmured as if she was asking someone, or talking to herself, her eyes pierced Gu Xuandu's body.

Gu Xuandu replied: "Soon."

"Come back soon." Xuan Qing said, "Everyone misses you."

"Okay." Gu Xuandu laughed, "I must... be back earlier."

The rain didn't stop until early morning.

When the temple guard woke up, there was no one in the temple. He yawned and took a rag, intending to dry the wet Tianjun statue first.He walked up to the statue, scratched his head and said "strange".This day, the Tianjun statue was actually clean, without any water stains on it, as if it had been carefully scrubbed by someone.

It rained all night last night, but it was still sunny today. The warm sunshine came in through the window early, just falling on Lin Rufei's face.He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Gu Xuandu sitting on the edge of the bed, taking a nap with his chin resting on his hands.

Lin Rufei sat up from the bed, the slight movement woke Gu Xuandu up, he yawned slightly, and said, "Xiao Jiu, good morning."

"Good morning." After Lin Rufei greeted him, she noticed something and pointed to the ground, "Senior, do you have a shadow?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Didn't you trouble Xiaojiu to help me find it?"

Previously, Gu Xuan had no shadow, but Lin Rufei was not surprised, after all, Gu Xuan had no entity, so it was strange to have a shadow.

"Can other people see senior?" Lin Rufei asked hurriedly.

Gu Xuandu shook his head: "No way."

Lin Rufei said: "Then...how can I see it?"

Gu Xuandu said: "We still need to find some more important things."

Lin Rufei groaned, and calculated: "I found an eye and a shadow." Then he sized up Gu Xuandu, "It seems that there are still a lot of things missing."

Gu Xuandu smiled and said, "You."

I don't know if it was because of Gu Xuandu's return, Lin Rufei's mood improved a lot, and she even ate a few more mouthfuls with her breakfast.But who would have thought that when the maids saw Lin Rufei like this, not only were they not happy, but they became frowning.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Rufei understood what the maids were worrying about—as soon as Gu Xuandu came back, he committed the problem of talking to himself again.Not only did I commit a crime this time, but it was also very serious, and I was talking all morning.

Thinking of this, Lin Rufei hurriedly sent a letter to Wan Yao, explaining her recent situation vaguely, saying that she was not suffering from hysteria, and told Wan Yao not to prescribe medicine to the maids again, he was really afraid It would be silly to drink medicine by yourself.

Xuan Qing was about to enter the palace again, at first Lin Rufei felt that she had nothing to do with herself, but he insisted on dragging herself, saying that she was afraid that Lin Rufei would be bored staying alone in the inn.

God knows that Lin Rufei didn't feel bored at all, he was too busy with the affairs of the palace, and it was a pity that he didn't finish the whole Lantern City.

But Xuan Qing refused to let go, and dragged Lin Rufei into the carriage.Lin Rufei couldn't twist him, so she could only obey.

At this time, the culprit of the victims of the princes had been found, and the guards inside were not as strict as the previous few days.But the atmosphere was still not very good, Lin Rufei was still very strange, Xuan Qing saw that he didn't understand, so she had to sigh and wake Lin Rufei up.

He said: "If you were the queen, knowing that the emperor had found the murderer, but you didn't know who the murderer was, would you like it?"

Lin Rufei said, "I don't seem to want to."

"That's right, that's right!" Xuan Qing said, shaking his head and sighing, "The matter of the royal family is troublesome." It seemed that he didn't want to join in, but there was really nothing he could do.So he insisted on getting involved with Lin Rufei and asked him to accompany her to be bored.

When I went to the palace today, I didn't see Bai Rui, Lin Rufei asked a casual question, Xuan Qing also answered casually, but Lin Rufei was taken aback.

Xuan Qing said: "Maybe she was dumped by a certain girl and got married in a fit of anger."

Lin Rufei only thought he was joking at first.

The murderer was found, and the palace became lively. It was very pleasing to see many maids in Chinese clothes walking around on the side of the road.

Lin Rufei and Xuan Qing arrived at the imperial garden where they had an appointment with the emperor, but they didn't see the emperor himself. They only saw the princess sitting alone in the gazebo, eating iced purple grapes. A bit of exhaustion, but still arousing pity.

But Lin Rufei has seen too many beauties, Gu Xuandu alone, he has never seen anyone more beautiful than him, so at this moment his expression remained unchanged, and he followed Xuanqing to the opposite side of the princess.

"Master Xuanqing is good." The third princess greeted Xuanqing with a smile.

"Hello, third princess." Xuan Qing responded, "Why didn't you see Your Majesty?"

"The Holy Majesty was called away by the Queen." The third princess said, "Do you think Father will blame me?"

Xuan Qing said: "Probably not."

The third princess propped her chin up, and said: "That's really great." She chewed the grape seeds in her mouth a little bored, not feeling bitter, "I knew I should be more ruthless." She squinted her eyes , "You say so, Master Xuanqing?"

Xuan Qing was not at all surprised by the change in the expression of the three princesses, and still said Amitabha softly.It was Lin Rufei who discovered that the third princess was not a good person.

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: Is the corner of my mouth sweet?

Gu Xuandu: Sweet sweet.

Lin Rufei: You tore it up.

Gu Xuandu: ……………
