Chapter 61: Killer

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they looked at each other with something else. However, there were too many people present, and Lin Rufei was not good at talking with Gu Xuan. After looking at him for a moment, he turned his eyes away and set his eyes on the three who were crying in the arms of Bai Jinglun at this time. On the princess.
As soon as the shadow was taken off from the three princesses, she woke up, but when she woke up, she shrank into Bai Jinglun's arms and cried into a tear.
If I changed someone else, I would have been scolded by Bai Jinglun for a long time, but in the end it was the three princesses that hurt him the most. The words of scolding came to my mouth, but I was still reluctant to say it, just stroking her head behind, soft It took so long to calm down the little girl.
During the day, Rui and Xuan Qing stood beside and looked at it quietly, but did not dare to interject.
When the third princess was crying enough, Bai Jinglun took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped his daughter's tears, saying, "Mou Mou isn't crying, it's all right, what happened, tell your father."
Lin Rufei listened to him very funny. The white Jinglun was eccentric in his heart. In the eyes of others, he was the father of the emperor. In the eyes of the three princesses, he became the father.
The third princess was crying, her eyes and nose were red, and her delicate face looked really pitiful. Lin Rufei remembered that Xuan Qing had said before that the three princesses looked very similar to her mother. No wonder Bai Jinglun can't forget her.
"I ... I don't remember well." The third princess rubbed her eyes and sobbed. "That day, my brother and I had a quarrel with each other, saddened, and went to the garden to be alone. "
"After that?" Bai Jinglun asked.
"The maid and I sat under the plum tree for a while. The plum tree was the mother-in-law's favorite." The three princesses said, "I like to say a few words to the plum tree when I have any thoughts. There was a strong wind, and my eyes couldn't be opened, and then I knew nothing. "She was all blank, really a poor innocent little rabbit who had been wronged.
Bai Jinglun said: "Why do you and your brothers quarrel?"
The third princess smiled reluctantly: "It's ... I want to go out and see the lights, my brothers said that girls are not safe to go out."
"Only these?" Bai Jinglun said.
The third princess bit her lower lip and froze for a while before whispering with a crying voice: "They ... said I was a wild species."
"Miscellaneous accounts!" Bai Jinglun was instantly furious when he heard the words. "Who said it? Is your second or sixth brother?"
"The second prince said first." The three princesses lost their hearts, "Dad, am I really not the birth daughter of Mei Fei? I am really ..."
"Don't say that word!" Bai Jinglun gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red. "Okay, my good sons!"
The royal family had always attached great importance to pedigree. The two words of wild species were simply killing hearts. Judging from Bai Jinglun's expression, they knew that the two princes were going to be beaten.
"Isn't this the first time they're right?" Bai Jinglun suddenly asked what he thought.
The third princess nodded her head and showed a weak smile: "I said ... many times, but I treat them as jealous of my father and father, so I didn't take it to heart until ..."
Bai Jinglun said, "Until what?"
The three princesses didn't speak anymore, but they burst into Bai Jinglun's arms and cried again.
Bai Jinglun touched her head, soothed for a while, and then said, "How do you feel when Mumu is in a coma?"
The three princesses heard the words, and the crying gradually became weaker. They looked around the house. They glanced slightly when they passed Xuanqing, but soon recovered their eyes and lowered their eyes, whispering: "Some feelings, but That feeling was not clear ... "She hesitated for a moment, revealing a little bit of sorrow," Daddy, when I was unconscious, what happened to the palace? "
Bai Jinglun did not hide her, and said directly, "Your second brother and sixth brother were almost strangled to death."
The three princesses suddenly turned pale, helpless: "This ... Does this have anything to do with me ..."
Bai Jinglun didn't say yes or no, she just stroked the long hair of the three princesses and let her describe her feelings when she was in a coma. The third princess thought carefully and whispered: "At first, it was unconscious, but later I seem to have been dragged into a black quagmire by which I could not move until I heard a sound ... "
"What voice?" Bai Jinglun frowned.
The three princesses shook her head: "I only know the voice of a man, I have never heard it before."
As soon as he heard the voice of a man, Bai Jinglun frowned even more, and said, "What did he say?"
The third princess said: "He asked me ... why not happy ..."
Bai Jinglun continued to listen.
"I told him about the quarrel with my brothers." The third princess arduously said, "I don't remember what happened later, as if flying in the sky, as if I saw many people, confused. "
Bai Jinglun asked the three princesses some details in the coma, but the three princesses answered very vaguely. Seeing her confused and tired appearance, she did not seem to lie. In the end, Xuan Qing opened his mouth and said, "Holy, the princess's shadow is back. At this time, you should take a good rest. What's better, why not ask again tomorrow?"
This is exactly what Bai Jinglun means. There is indeed some dialogue between their father and daughter that is not suitable for outsiders to hear. So after Xuan Qing's words, let the three princesses have a good rest, then got up and went out.
After going out, Bai Jinglun asked Xuan Qing's whereabouts of the shadow again, and Xuan Qing pointed to Lin Rufei, saying that the shadow had been sealed in the sword of Lin Gongzi, so that Bai Jinglun didn't have to worry about it.
Bai Jinglun nodded and thanked Xuan Qing sincerely. Xuan Qing smiled and waved her hand, saying that the Lord was too polite, such a trivial matter, do not need to be so mindful.
After a few words of conversation, they dispersed separately. Originally, Bai Jinglun wanted them to live in the palace, but Xuan Qing refused, and he had to send a carriage to take them back. With them also came the daytime Rui. Since the beginning, the prince has not said much. Sitting in the carriage is also a look of closing eyes, Xuan Qing joked with a smile and said how the prince became dumb today.
Rui Leng sneered during the day: "Seeing the scene of their father's kindness and filial piety, they are very tired."
Xuan Qing said: "I think you are jealous. Your brother and children are all piled up. You can't even ask your wife."
Daytime Rui stared: "I can't get it? I don't want to get it-" Then he looked at Lin Rufei with a smile and asked Lin Rufei how old he was, whether he was a match.
Xuan Qing snorted, and scorned the daytime Rui: "Forget it, the son Lin has just won the crown. You are an uncle if you have grown up for a round, so sorry."
A loud snoring sound during the day.
The carriage arrived at the door of the inn, Lin Rufei went down first, but Rui grabbed Xuan Qing during the day, and said that he wanted to talk to him alone. Lin Rufei turned to leave with interest and interest. When the two of them were left in the car, Xuan Qing sighed and asked what day Rui wanted to talk about.
During the day, Rui stretched out his hand and pulled off the curtain. The light in the compartment suddenly dimmed, and the faces of the two became blurred. During the day, Rui whispered, "You said, if my brother didn't do that, then Good or bad? "
"It's probably a good thing for Bai Jinglun himself." Xuan Qing said.
"In terms of Dajing?" Rui Rui asked again.
Xuan Qing said, "Isn't the prince already having the answer?"
Rui Ru laughed during the day: "Trouble."
Xuan Qingdao: "The monk has left."
"Hey, monk, what are you so anxious to do?" Rui smiled during the day, "I was there with my husband Lin Gongzi last night and drank for a while, but I didn't want to say a few more words to me at this moment."
Xuan Qingdao: "That's different."
Daytime Rui said, "What's different?"
Xuan Qingdao: "Lin Gongzi is a monk's friend."
Daytime Rui said: "What about me?"
Xuanqing said: "Passers-by."
Ruiwen Yan's face changed during the day, and he reached out and grabbed Xuan Qing's collar. He hated and said, "Monk, you say you and I are just passersby?"
Xuan Qing looked at Rui Rui calmly, and his eyes were the same as usual, but if he could show compassion in his eyes, then at this moment, this kind of compassion had a kind of indifference. It's as if the looked down at the beings, treating them like ants.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and during the day Rui Huo let go of his hand, and he returned to the cynical appearance on weekdays. He squinted his eyes and smiled, "Just stop, I and your poor monk care about nothing." Xuan Qing hurried out of the car, and then went back to the palace alone.
Xuan Qing stood at the door of the inn for a long time, and the place where she looked back was always the direction of the imperial palace. Until it happened that Fuhua and Yurui, who came back from the outside, saw him standing at the door and greeted him, he nodded and smiled at the two, then returned to the inn.
That night, there was a heavy rain in Dajing.
The rain in each season has its unique flavor. The summer showers are violent and enthusiastic. They come and go quickly, and the thick raindrops are crackling, and they have no chance to respond.
Lin Rufei could not wait to return to the inn. As soon as he entered the room, Gu Xuandu showed his figure.
"Senior, I haven't seen you for a long time." Lin Rufei laughed.
"What's wrong with your mouth?" Gu Xuandu noticed the two eye-pooring wounds on the corners of Lin Rufei's mouth just now, but there were too many people present and it was not good to talk with Lin Rufei before he asked.
"Oh, this, it's just a minor injury." Lin Rufei waved his hands indifferently, describing the process of his injury lightly. Who knows how light he said, Gu Xuandu's complexion was unpredictable, from the anger at the beginning to the embarrassment at the back, and finally he gave a casual cough, "Oh, that's it."
Lin Rufei looked at Gu Xuandu's face clearly, but made a little bad, pretending to be innocent: "That is the shadow of the senior? How did the shadow of the senior fall on Dajing? He also puzzled San The princess did bad things? "
Gu Xuandu: "... this may be a misunderstanding."
Lin Rufei said: "Misunderstanding?"
Gu Xuandu said, "My shadow has no self-thinking. It is only an accident that the three princesses are fused. Although the three princesses speak nicely, they also have their own thoughts. When asked by her father, she will shirk herself from foreign objects.
Lin Rufei said: "So her father believed it?"
Gu Xuandu said: "Do you believe it?"
Lin Rufei thought: "50%."
"Then her father would believe about 60%." Gu Xuandu said, "Everyone who is an emperor is a human spirit, how can it be so foolish." He said, sitting on the side of Lin Rufei and leaning his head. , Carefully holding the wound on the corner of Lin Rufei's mouth. The wound was not too big, a little red and swollen, and it was particularly annoying on Lin Rufei's pale lips. Gu Xuandu became more and more uncomfortable when he looked at it. For a while, he held out his thumb and gently touched Lin Rufei ’s. I clicked on the corner of my mouth. His fingers were very cold, and it didn't hurt to press them, but Lin Rufei hissed involuntarily.
Gu Xuandu quickly closed his hands and said, "Does it hurt?"
"No pain." Lin Rufei shook his head.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Gu Xuan didn't believe it.
"It hurts a bit when you plug it in, it can't help it." Lin Rufei didn't realize what was wrong with her words. "After all, such a big thing is very hard ..."
Gu Xuandu's ears raised a suspicious blush.
Lin Rufei said, "What are your ears red?"
Gu Xuandu calmly said, "No, you're wrong."
"Really not?" Lin Rufei pointed out the problem suspiciously. "I saw it clearly."
Gu Xuandu said, "You said it wrong."
Lin Rufei: "I ..." As soon as he said something, Gu Xuandu's face was covered. When he hadn't responded, he felt a moist thing covered his lips. When did he stay where he was: "Senior ..."
Gu Xuan couldn't stop thinking about it and licked the corner of his lips: "Did Xiao Chi just eat sugar?"
Lin Rufei said, "I ate some." There were a lot of sweets and cakes in the carriage. When he was out of the palace just now, he ate a little.
"It's sweet." Gu Xuandu squinted slightly, showing a good smile, "especially sweet."
Lin Rufei touched the corner of his mouth and muttered, "Is there any sugar residue?"
"No." Gu Xuandu said, "I mean Xiao Chi is much sweeter than those sugars."
Lin Rufei stared at his eyes, really wondering how Gu Xuan spoke such words so frankly, the worst part was that he didn't feel wrong, and looked at Gu Xuandu with a smile The expression, the cheeks involuntarily floated a little, and uncomfortably removed the eyes that Gu Xuan looked at.
"Cough, it's getting late, I'll take a break first." Lin Rufei said, "Senior ... get some rest sooner."
"OK." Gu Xuandu smiled.
Lin Rufei went to bed after washing. He was probably really tired. He let go of one more thing and fell into a dream.
Gu Xuan all listened to the sound of the rain leaping outside the window, sighed in their hearts, but got up and walked to the window, his body flickered and disappeared into the room.
The rain was a bit heavy, and splashed on the eaves, and then flowed down the trench, eventually converging into small streams on the ground. After night, a few oil lamps were lit in Tianjun's temple. It was not too bright, but it was enough to see things. This temple is the most beautiful and magnificent Tianjun Temple in Dajingli, but unfortunately a few days ago, a thunderbolt ignited a fire and burned the temple for most of it. If you want to restore it to its original state, it may take some time.
Gu Xuandu's footsteps stopped on the eaves of Tianjun Temple. He saw the sculpture of Tianjun in the temple. The sculpture is alive, presumably from the hands of the master, and it is quite a bit like Tianjun. Gu Xuandu jumped into the temple and walked to the front of the sculpture, staring carefully at the sculpture in front of him by the low light.
"Tianjun." He whispered this sentence.
There was no response, and the sound of rain leaping between heaven and earth covered everything. He raised his hand and tried to touch the statue, but the moment his finger touched the sculpture, it passed from above. In the state of the spirit, it is not easy to touch foreign objects, and it is still an idol with incense. Gu Xuandu sighed in his heart, was about to give up, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, turned his head to see, but it was the Xuanqing monk who should have been resting in the inn, which suddenly appeared in front of the temple.
In the heavy rain, he just held up a worn oily paper umbrella, and the rain splashed his shoulders, adding a dark shadow to the gray cricket. However, Xuan Qing's expression was not embarrassing, still calm and gentle, and the laws were strict. His footsteps also stayed in front of the sculpture, just standing next to Gu Xuandu.
"Tianjun." Xuan Qing smiled. "It's been a long time."
If he didn't know he couldn't see himself, Gu Xuandu would probably feel that the monk was greeting himself, and he said lightly, "It's been a long time."
Xuan Qing said: "It ’s raining today, but unfortunately the temple was broken a few days ago, and you have to work hard to get a rain." He took out a handkerchief from his cuff, and carefully splattered Tianjun statue face. The rain is wiped clean.
Gu Xuandu embraced his chest with his hands and looked at Xuan Qing silently.
"It's so fast. It took only a few blinks of an eye, and hundreds of years passed." Xuan Qing said, "A lot of things are gone. If you pass by any house, remember to check out the iron-gold walnut tree in his house. What you planted together in the past ... Now it has become a big tree, with branches and leaves scattered. "He said, and a few raindrops dropped on the leaking roof beside it, which happened to fall on Tianjun's sculpture, like two drops. Crystal tears.
Xuan Qing was silent for a while, raised her umbrella flat, and hung directly in the air. Instead of raising an umbrella for himself, he raised the umbrella to the top of the sculpture.
"When will I be back?" It seemed to be asking someone, and it was like talking to himself, Xuan Qing murmured, his eyes penetrated Gu Xuandu's body.
Gu Xuandu replied, "It's coming."
"Come back soon," Xuan Qing said, "Everyone misses you."
"Okay." Gu Xuan all laughed. "Must ... come back earlier."
The rain did not stop completely until early in the morning.
When the temple watchman woke up, there was no one in the temple. He yawned and took the rag in order to dry the wet Tianjun statue first. He walked to the statue, scratching his head and saying "strange". The statue of Jun Tian is actually clean and clean, with no water stains on it, as if he was scrubbed carefully by the figurines.
It rained all night last night, and it is still sunny today. The warm sunlight shot through the window early and fell on Lin Rufei's face. He opened his eyes blankly, and saw Gu Xuan sitting on the bed with his hand resting on his chin, which was quite quiet for years.
Lin Rufei sat up from the bed, and a slight movement awoke Gu Xuandu. He yawned slightly and said, "Good morning, Xiao Chi."
"Good morning." Lin Rufei greeted him, noticed something, and reached out to the ground. "Senior, do you have a shadow?"
Gu Xuandu said, "Isn't this annoying little leek helping me find it?"
Gu Xuan had no shadow before, but Lin Rufei was not surprised. After all, Gu Xuan had no entity. It was strange to have shadow.
"Can other people see the seniors?" Lin Rufei asked quickly.
Gu Xuandu shook his head: "No."
Lin Rufei said, "So ... how can I see?"
Gu Xuandu said, "You have to find something more important."
Lin Rufei said aloud, thinking: "I found an eye and a shadow." Then I looked at Gu Xuandu, "It seems that there are still a lot of things missing."
Gu Xuandu laughed and said, "You."
I don't know if it's because of Gu Xuandu's return. Lin Rufei's mood is much better, and he even took a few bites with breakfast. But who knows that the maids looked like Lin Rufei, instead of being unhappy, they frowned.
Lin Rufei thought carefully, and understood what the maids were distressed with—on the return of Gu Xuandu, he said something wrong with himself. Not only was it guilty this time, it was serious, and I was talking all morning.
Thinking of this, Lin Rufei hurriedly sent a letter to Wan Ye, explaining vaguely his current situation, saying that he did not have hysteria, so Wan Ye must not prescribe medicine to the maids, he was really afraid Drink medicine and drink silly again.
Xuan Qing was going to the palace again. Originally Lin Rufei felt that he had nothing to do. Who knew he was going to drag himself and said that he was afraid that Lin Rufei would be bored in the inn alone.
God knew that Lin Rufei didn't feel bored at all. He patronized things in the busy palace. It was a pity that the entire Lantern Festival was not finished.
However, He Xuanqing did not let go of his life, but he just pulled Lin Rufei into the carriage. Lin Rufei could not twist him, so he had to follow.
At this point the culprit of the princes' victims had been found, and the guards inside were not as severe as the previous few days. However, the atmosphere was still not very good. Lin Rufei was still very strange. Xuan Qing saw him unknown, so she sighed and awoke Lin Rufei.
He said, "If you are the queen and know that the emperor has found the killer, but you do not know who the killer is, would you?"
Lin Rufei said, "I don't seem to want it."
"Yeah, yeah!" Xuan Qingdao shook his head and sighed, "This royal matter is troublesome." It seems that he didn't want to participate, but it was impossible. So he just got involved with Lin Rufei and asked him to be bored with him.
Today when I was in the palace, I didn't see the daytime Rui, Lin Ru Fei Shun asked a question, Xuan Qing also replied casually, but Lin Ru Fei listened for a moment.
Xuan Qing said: "Maybe she was dumped by a girl and got married in a fit of anger."
Lin Rufei started only when he was joking.
The murderer was found, and the palace was lively. It was very pleasing to see a lot of Gong'e in Huayi walking by the roadside.
Lin Rufei and Xuan Qing arrived at the imperial garden that they had agreed with the emperor, but they did not see the emperor. They saw the princess sitting alone in the gazebo, eating iced purple grapes. A bit tired, but still pity.
But Lin Rufei has seen more beauties, and Gu Xuandu alone has never seen anything more beautiful than him, so at this time his expression did not change, and he followed Xuan Qing to the other side of the princess.
"Master Xuanqing is good." The three princesses greeted Xuanqing with a smile.
"Good for the three princesses." Xuan Qing answered, "Why didn't you see the Holy Lord?"
"The Holy Lord was called by the queen," said the three princesses. "You said, would the father blame me?"
Xuan Qingdao: "It should not be."
The third princess supported her chin and said, "That's great." She chewed the grape seeds in her mouth a bit, and didn't feel too bitter. "You say yes, Master Xuanqing?"
Xuan Qing was not surprised at the changes in the three princesses' attitudes, but still spoke softly to Amitabha. It was Lin Rufei who discovered that the three princesses were not good.
The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: Is my mouth sweet?
Gu Xuandu: Sweet.
Lin Rufei: You tear it.
Gu Xuandu: ………………
