Royal Garden.

Lanyue came back from outside and passed by the wooden corridor corner of the artificial lake when she suddenly heard the melodious sound of a piano.

The clear and clear sound of the piano gurgling and flowing, as if coming from deep valleys and secluded mountains. It flows quietly, flowing through the wrinkles of life, through the ups and downs of time, and through the blind eyes of old artists who understand the world.

Lan Yue's feet stopped.

Wu Qi thought he was attracted by the sound of the piano, so he listened carefully and praised: "I have never heard this music before. Even my ears can't distinguish the five tones, and I think it sounds good."

But Shaohua's reaction was different from his. His face changed in an instant. His face was paralyzed, so the change was not big, but he was obviously shocked by something.

His gaze drifted towards the other person, and only the profile of his face could be seen, and the cold curve made people feel that strangers should not approach him.

After staying for a while, Lanyue continued to walk forward, a little faster. When Wu Qi saw that his direction had changed, he knew that he was going to find the person playing the piano after hearing the sound.

After walking around the winding corridor and entering the main hall, the sound got closer and closer, until I found a man sitting under a pavilion in the middle of the lake, playing the piano, isolated and independent from the world.

There were only a few women in the main hall, and one could tell who was playing the piano at a glance. Wu Qi wanted to call His Majesty to come, but was stopped by Lan Yue, so he had to swallow it back.

Lan Yue stared deeply at the man's back and moved closer.

Fengling, who had her back turned to him, noticed the movement behind her and smiled softly. She did not turn around to salute, but continued to finish the song.

The coda ended with an overtone. Fengling let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed her hands and took them back.

"What's the name of this piece?"

The person behind her suddenly spoke up, and she was "naturally" frightened. She turned around and saw who it was. When she found out who it was, she hurriedly kowtowed: "I don't know if your majesty is here. The common people deserve to die."

He stared at her, without saying anything, and persisted in asking: "Name."

Fengling replied: "This song is called "Vicissitudes of Life" and was written by that worldly master."

"Extraordinary master..." A bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he took a step forward and asked anxiously: "Do you still remember what that extraordinary master looks like?"

She was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Remember."

Then he asked someone to bring up pen, ink, paper and inkstone, took away the piano, and asked her to draw a portrait of an extraordinary person on the table.

Fengling hesitated as she wrote, "What's going on? Why do you suddenly want to look at the appearance of an outsider? She just wanted to attract his attention by playing this piece of music, so as not to be forgotten in the corner, but she didn't expect that his brain circuitry was so difficult to understand."

fathom.

There is no such thing as an outsider. This piece of music was composed by a guqin professor she had in modern times, and he taught it to her as a student. Later, when she was the Sixth Prince, she would occasionally play it to soothe her mood, and he would always be a listener.

, so it must be familiar, so she chose this song to attract him.

Under a normal reaction, he would feel uneasy when he heard the music played by the old man he had killed, and ask where the music came from. His previous life self also said that it was composed by a friend, and it would be okay if others could play it.

Normally, as long as you find a reason to get away with it, you'll be fine.

He wants a portrait of an expert at this time. Could it be that he is suspicious...

"Why, you can't draw?" He was a little impatient, as if her blood would be splattered on the spot if she dared to say no.

After some thought, Feng Linghu curled her lips playfully and started to outline the tall man's portrait.

After filling in the details within the outline, she presented the paper: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Lan Yue glanced at her coolly, took the paper and read it, but after just one glance, she froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Fengling secretly raised her eyes to see his reaction, and when she saw his panic expression, she felt gloating in her heart. Lanyue, Lanyue, were you scared when you saw the portrait of the old lover you killed? Are you feeling guilty?

Wait, what comes next is not only the portrait, but you don’t expect the dead person to be right in front of you, right?

The collar was suddenly pulled up, and his tone was as cold as frost, with no obvious emotional fluctuations: "When was the last time you saw her?"

Fengling: "Five years ago in July. That was when Cao Min met her again after a few years. She said that one thing was about to be completed and to welcome a new beginning, she asked me to go to the Imperial City."

Five years ago, August was a time of chaos in the palace. In just a few days, stars fell and dynasties changed.

The strength of the collar loosened, and she fell to the ground. Seeing him taking a few steps back unsteadily, the color faded from his face, and he was lost in thought. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Since he was already suspicious, she might as well give him a reason. As "Feng Ling"

"'s disciple, it is not surprising that he is similar to him.

She lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

After a long time, he asked softly: "What did she teach you?"

"Recognize calligraphy, learn martial arts, piano skills, and... flower playing." There is no way, she is herself, and she has to teach everything she can, otherwise she can't explain it later.

With a soft chuckle, he said in a steady tone: "You are really a personal disciple. What is so special about you that makes you worthy of her dedication?"

What kind of tone is this? She, Fengling, has always loved talents, so she will naturally teach her with all her heart when she accepts a disciple. Didn’t he also teach him himself?

She replied: "The common people have a humble status. Perhaps the master saw how pitiful the common people were when they were helpless, so he took pity on me and accepted me as his disciple."

"Do you know the identity of the person in this portrait?" Lan Yue presented the portrait in front of her with an unclear tone.

Fengling: "The common people only know him as an outsider who doesn't want to leave his name."

Lanyue: "Raise your head."

Feng Ling raised her head as he was told, and faced the large ink-and-wash portrait of herself, staring at him with big eyes. She couldn't guess what he meant, so she could only hold her breath and remain silent.

Lan Yue: "Your so-called outsider is almost exactly the same as Feng Ling, the first six princesses of Fengyang."

Fengling was shocked when she heard the words and stared at the portrait in disbelief. After reacting, she immediately bowed her head and explained: "The master has never revealed her identity. The common people don't know that she is actually Fengling, the Sixth Emperor's daughter. The common people know nothing about her."

, Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

"Oh?" He squatted down to look at her levelly, looked into her eyes, and said slowly: "Then, why did you assassinate Gu? Isn't it to avenge your master Fengling?"

Her heart suddenly exploded, Fengling's eyes changed slightly, her black and white eyes were dimmed by dark colors, and she looked at him.

He looked at her quietly, his gorgeous peach blossom eyes as cold as Tianshan snow lotus, which made people feel cold.

He is testing!

Time passed by, and Feng Ling suddenly changed his expression. First he was frightened, then he didn't understand, and finally he turned to determination. He turned away his eyes and leaned over to apologize: "If your majesty doubts the common people, the common people have nothing to say, but they shouldn't."

There are some crimes that ordinary people are not willing to bear, so ordinary people can prove their loyalty by serving His Majesty."

"Loyalty. Okay, you come with me." He stood up and left.

Fengling got up and looked back at the wheelchair, then walked to follow her. Wu Qi considerately called two people to help her.

After stepping into the imperial study room, the door slowly closed, and everyone except Shaohua stopped outside and did not come in. Shaohua skillfully took out three sets of servant uniforms from the hidden compartment behind a cabinet, and asked Fengling to take one of them to change into.

superior.

She glanced at Lan Yue who was holding clothes behind the screen, and then at Shaohua who hadn't started changing yet. She consciously found a corner where she couldn't see the outside and started changing.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

.

After she came out, Shaohua gave her a black cloth strip to indicate that she should blindfold her. It was so mysterious. He wouldn't take her to see the headquarters, would he? She thought to herself.

Blindfolded, he glanced at Lan Yue, who had put on the waiter's uniform. After taking off his fancy clothes, he was just a man with an outstanding appearance. This outfit was much more pleasing to the eye than the yellow robe.

Once everything went dark, I couldn't see anything. The fabric was made of specially selected black kudzu material. No matter how good my eyesight was, I couldn't see through it, so I had to rely on my ears to listen.

With a click, there was a sound of a mechanism opening. Shaohua roughly led her into a narrow space. When she stepped in, she felt that the light was getting darker, and there was also a trace of air flow that had not been opened for a long time.

It seems that there is another way to this imperial study room.

Being led to stop and go, she found that Lanyue moved things three times along the way. She guessed that there must be some mechanism. Shaohua was very keen. Whenever her steps were average, he would force her to speed up or slow down.

Slow to disrupt the rhythm and prevent her from measuring distance with her steps.

However, Fei Ling had no intention of measuring at all, she was just used to walking at an even pace. It was not possible to sneak into the imperial study room, let alone the dark room. It was impossible to escape from the narrow space, and she exposed herself early. There was no need, now.

The main task is to gain Lanyue's trust.

In fact, the secret passage shouldn't be very long. It started to go uphill soon, and then the light gradually brightened back. When she walked through a place, she didn't know that there were steps below, and she almost fell when her foot missed. She stretched out a hand in time to compare herself.

It was quicker to react and stand still, and then shrink back after she stabilized.

"It can be untied." She heard Lan Yue's voice, which was quite close.

She stretched out her hand to untie the knot on the back of her head and pulled off the black cloth. She felt slightly uncomfortable under the strong light. She blinked and looked at the surrounding environment again, and was surprised. Because she knew this place, it was the harem area, but this palace had already

Very no one lives there anymore.

Three people wearing chamberlain uniforms walked through the harem road. They originally thought they would frequently encounter palace people passing by, but it turned out that there were almost no people along the way, and it was very deserted. There were only a few people responsible for sweeping and repairing flowers and plants.

Seeing such a scene, she found it strange that even if the male emperor did not have a harem, emperors of all dynasties would leave their concubines and servants in the harem to take care of themselves. How could it be so deserted, as if no one lived there?

She kept this matter secretly in mind and looked for an opportunity to find Jinhua to inquire about it.

This area is all well-decorated. After passing this area, you arrive at the Lenggong area. It's not deserted, it's just deserted.

Later, she was blindfolded again. After walking for about ten minutes, she heard a sound belonging to the street. Then she got into a carriage and sat across from Lan Yue. The carriage slowly drove into the street, but listening to the sound,

Probably avoid the busy city.

The speed picked up later, the sound of people walking gradually disappeared, and the smell of trees and mountains began to smell on the tip of my nose.

She finally broke the silence along the way and asked: "Your Majesty, are you planning to take the common people out of the city? Are you trying to find a pit to bury the common people?"

In order to be somewhat different from "Fengling", she inclined her way of speaking to the side of Tang poetry, which was a bit joking.

The other party didn't answer her words, and she couldn't see his reaction even though she was blindfolded.

"Your Majesty, we are already on the carriage. There is a curtain to cover it. Can we take it off? The common people know that they are not worthy of witnessing His Majesty's grace, but just sitting like this seems to make the air a little..."

Lanyue: "What's the matter?"

Listening to his emotionless voice, Fengling couldn't make fun of him, a serious person. She cleared her throat and said: "It's nothing, I just smell a vague fragrance, which smells pretty good. It's for Your Majesty."

Does it smell good?"
