The Golden Hairpin

Huang Zixian leaned against the car wall, looking at Li Shubai. There was only the slight and mechanical sound of the golden bell on the carriage, and the rest was the dead silence of Chang'an City into the night. She felt that she should say something to break the silence, but she didn't know what she should say, so she could only look at Li Shubai in silence, letting the light cast a heavy shadow on the two of them.

"If you should come, there is nowhere to avoid it. Isn't it?" Li Shubai's voice finally sounded low, still the kind of cold and almost indifferent voice, low and calm, "It's just that I didn't expect it. He was the one who gave me this fatal blow."

"I think, maybe this is not from the heart of King E." Huang Zixia took out the rubbing note from his sleeve, looked at it carefully, and said slowly, "Not long ago, King E asked the prince to help him find the Princess Chen. If he had already planned to attack the prince, how could he bring up the matter at that time and start to provoke us, so that we should be prepared as soon as possible?"

Li Shubai nodded and said silently: "Yes, about the same as we thought, the seventh brother may be the same as Yu Xuan, who has been subjected to dementia. However...who dares to use King E as a blade to hurt me?"

Huang Zixia looked at him, but did not speak.

He didn't speak, in fact, both of them already had the answer in their hearts, but they didn't want to, and couldn't say it.

The glazed lamp swayed slowly, and the flames flickered and dimmed as they flickered.

The lights outside the window shone in dimly, dimly and in a trance. Li Shubai turned the subject and said, "Also, where did the seventh brother go? How did he disappear into the air when he clearly jumped from the city gate in front of us?"

Huang Zixia whispered: "I think there must be something in it-but we don't know it yet."

"At the time, we really saw him standing on the railing, didn't we?"

"Yes, he is really standing on the railing." Huang Zixia raised his hand and held her hairpin, pressed the curling grass on the hairpin, and pulled out the hosta from the silver hairpin, and slowly placed it on her clothes. Draw a concave shape. Like the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings, two tall pavilions, Qifeng pavilion and Xiangluan pavilion, extending from the front of Hanyuan Hall are forming a "concave" character with Hanyuan Hall.

She placed her hairpin on the outermost point, recalling the situation, frowning and saying: "Qifeng Pavilion and Xiangluan Pavilion are both above the five-zhang high platform. The railings on the edge of the platform surround the entire Xiangluan. Ge. He was on the railing at the back, far away from us-this was the first suspicious point I noticed when he committed suicide."

"If he really wants to commit suicide by jumping off the building after he scolds me, he should choose the railing in front and the railing near Qifeng Pavilion. Because there happens to be the place where Qifeng Pavilion faces each other, he is jumping off the building. When he fell, all of us would watch him fall from a height, which aroused the hatred and horror of everyone present at that time, and should not choose the rear railing that disappeared in one jump."

"Yes, unless he has any reason to force him to stage this scene on the back railing. In other words, on the back railing, there is a place for hands and feet."

"I haven't moved my hands or feet." Li Shubai slowly shook his head and said, "Wang E fell down the building. When we chased him immediately, there was only one trace left on the thin layer of snow on the railing. It was the seventh brother stepping on it. The footprints above. The rest, there are no traces."

Huang Zixian nodded silently, and the hairpin in her hand drew a second point on her clothes, and said, "The second suspicious point is the fire in front of him next to Xiangluan Pavilion."

Li Shubai raised his head and let out a sigh, leaning against the wall of the car, and whispered: "I burned all my things before I was dying, which rendered the scene of renunciation very well."

"I don't believe that Prince E, who was perished in grief and indignation, would still think of performing such a tragic drama at that time. Unless, it will help him disappear."

In front of Li Shubai's eyes, there seemed to be another string of golden red sandalwood beads spitting flames in the fire. Li Run is quiet and believes in Buddhism, so after he got this thing, he immediately thought of this seventh brother and gave it to him, but he did not expect that now he would not even keep this thing, and burned one of them. Exhausted.

He stayed quietly for a while, and then said: "Moreover, that thing must be incinerated quickly, so he must pour black oil on the ground and turn everything into ashes in an instant."

"And the third hypothesis, there is another possibility, that is, when King E is dead, when he jumps off the stage, it is the moment of death. It is just that someone hid his body for the sake of'decomposing soaring'. Get up. And the person who can do this should have been with Your Excellency Xiangluan at that time, or put all your people at the time before the Hall of Hanyuan, and deliberately ignored the guards under the high platform."

Wang Yun. The person responsible for the mobilization and arrangement of the Imperial Forest Army tonight.

In their hearts, they all thought of him.

The left and right Yulin Army responsible for the defense of the Daming Palace was led by Wang Yun tonight. When E King Li Run jumped from Xiangluan Pavilion, he was the first person who led the crowd to search for King E's corpse after the Xiangluan Pavilion. It was him who believed that there was absolutely no problem with the tall and five-foot-long Taiwan fault, so he only set up soldiers and horses at Longwei Road and various entrances and exits. After Xiangluan Pavilion stopped singing and dancing, all the guards were transferred away, giving E King Li Run the opportunity to enter Xiangluan Pavilion alone, which led to a tragedy.

After finishing the three doubts, Huang Zixian inserted the hostess back into the silver hairpin on his head, looked at him calmly, and did not speak again.

Li Shubai pondered for a long time before he said: "So now, the biggest problem before me is not the death of the seventh brother, nor how he disappeared or where he went after disappearing, but how should I respond, what is behind him? that person."

Huang Zixian nodded, his eyes filled with two bright lights under the glazed lamp, staring at him non-stop.

And he pushed the window of the car, listening to the sound of horseshoes behind him, then closed the window again, slowly turned his head to look at her, and said, "You can leave now, it's still too late."

"No, it's too late." She shook her head lightly and said, "Even if my person is gone, my heart and soul are by your side. It's the same wherever I go."

His face reflected in her eyes, clearly visible and extremely clear.

Li Shubai also looked at her, at the clear light in her eyes, the clear self.

At this point, nothing more is redundant.

The light was heavily refracted by the colored glaze, fainting like a wave of light, shaking around them in a trance. At this moment, everything in the outside world becomes nothingness, at least they are together, this moment is quiet, and all the upcoming wind and rain are isolated.

Kui Wangfu is in front of him.

They got out of the car and stood at the gate of the mansion, waiting for the arrival of the palace car at the back.

The person who came was Xu Fenghan, the most powerful **** by the emperor's side. He personally passed the emperor's dictum that the king Kui worked hard today, and was frightened at night, but he could rest at home for ten days. The affairs of North Korea and China could be handed over to others, and arrangements could be made in the future.

In one sentence, Li Shubai was deprived of all powers.

He was very calm. Ming Jingheng accompany Xu Fenghan to talk in the flower hall, and then sent people to the study to pack up the documents sent by the various departments, sealed them and stored them in the concierge, and prepared to return them to the various departments tomorrow morning. Xu Fenghan took the reward, looked at the pile of official documents in the concierge, secretly stunned, but didn't dare to say anything, and immediately got in the car and left.

Huang Zixia accompanies him through the nine-fold portal and returns to Jingyutang.

The pines and cypresses in front of the hall are green, and the light green is revealed under the thin snow. From the light, it is more and more beautiful.

Huang Zixia shook hands with him lightly, and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing. I can take a break anyway."

He held her hand and paused for a long time before saying, "Yes, it's just going back to four years ago."

Huang Zixia looked at his expression and smiled slightly: "I don't believe it."

He also laughed, and the heavy depression of the night finally diminished a little: "It is still the net of the sky and the earth, it is still the fish in the net. It is a pity that this fish is now fatter, and the scales on its body have also become harder. ."

So, whether the fisherman netted the fish or the fish overturned the ship is still unknown.

Huang Zixia's current status is still the **** of the palace.

But because everyone knows that Yang Chonggu has become Girl Huang, it is no longer suitable to live next door to the eunuchs, so he has already lived in the courtyard not far from Jingyu Hall.

When I returned to my residence, it was already five hours. The night watch maid, Changyi, hurried to help her fetch water and clean her, and said: "Yesterday the winter solstice, the mansion issued money and things, but you are still the last **** according to the rule of the mansion, so you got less things than me. Tomorrow, I have to hurry up and ask my father-in-law Jing Yi. The new year goods will be delivered soon, and I will get at least one more at that time!"

Huang Zixia smiled and shook his head: "Besides, I'm alone in the house. What's the use of taking the New Year's goods."

Besides, who knows if this year will pass.

Chang Yi saw that she seemed very tired, so he stopped talking, and only sent her into the room to rest.

Huang Zixia also felt very sleepy, but she couldn't close her eyes when she lay down. She only opened a pair of eyes, staring at the lightening sky outside, and there was nowhere illusion before her eyes.

On the misty face of King E Li Run, there is a red cinnabar mole on the center of his eyebrows.

Those words that were messily engraved on the edge of the sandalwood table were transferred to the note.

The note was scattered in the wind and filled the entire Daming Palace with the sporadic snow.

He stood on the railing, turned around and jumped back, disappearing into the night sky.

The clues that cannot be cleared up, the truth that cannot be ascertained, what are those that disappeared in the fire—

Huang Zi Xia lay on the bed stiffly against her bounced temples, and let out a long sigh as she watched the brightening sky outside the window.

Even if what should come is coming, she can't sit still and let the pervasive mysteries cover and drown herself.
