The Golden Hairpin

Listening to his rapid breathing, Huang Zixia felt the hot breath scattered in her ears, and her body trembled gently: "No, I am... you have confidence in the prince."

"You really should have confidence." He hugged her tightly, because of the rapid breathing and fierce heartbeat, even the words began to be vague, "Because of me, it seems to belong to you."

Huang Zixia was at a loss for a while and didn't know what he meant.

And he buried his face deeply in her hair, and his tone was like babbling: "When you and I were angry and sought help from the king's family, I didn't fall asleep all night. I took the Agashne with me. Sitting in front of Zhenliu Pavilion for a whole night, watching the moonlight reflecting on the ice surface, it was dazzling, making me sleepless, I always feel that you will step on this light and appear in front of me the next moment, telling me that I regret it. , I'm back... It's funny, isn't it?"

Huang Zixia buried his face on his chest, listened to his rapid heartbeat with the ears on his body, and said softly: "No, if you leave me, I will definitely wait for you to come back night and night."

"Knowing that you and Wang Yun are about to go south to prepare for the marriage, I got news in Xiuzheng Fang, and I was almost going crazy. At that time, I secretly made up my mind. I desperately slammed out of Zongzheng Temple to find you..." He tightened his arms, and the strength he hugged her became even heavier, "In any case, I will take you back, and never let you go..."

Huang Zixia felt the strength of his arms, so tight that she felt a little pain. But instead, a smile appeared on her face, raising her hand to hug his waist tightly.

"Also... after that day, I have some desires in my heart, which are tossed over and over again, and there is no one to tell. But tonight, I want to talk to you, because I am worried that if I don't say anything, there may be no chance in the future. "

Huang Zixia nodded in his arms, and then asked, "What day did you say?"

He didn't answer, but the breath in her ears was even hotter and quicker. His voice trembled slightly, arduous and difficult: "From that day on, I was thinking repeatedly in my heart, if one day, I can hold your hand, if I don’t want to let go, I won’t let go; if one day, I can hold You are in your arms, and if you don’t want to let go, don’t let go; if one day, I can kiss you again, whether it’s your hand, your cheek, or your lips..."

Huang Zixian's face turned red suddenly, and she instantly understood the day he was talking about, which day; and immediately why he said that this wish was difficult to express and no one could tell.

She struggled subconsciously, trying to get out of his arms, and turned her back. However, he hugged so hard, her struggle made him get a gap instead. He held her shoulders, bowed his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

She only closed her eyes and did not dare to open them, and the trembling eyelashes were faintly shadowed under the lamp, reflecting the traces of halo red.

His soft kiss gradually went down and followed her on the cheek. Under the brilliant light, her lips are the color of peach blossoms and roses, which melts the bright and beautiful condensed from a whole spring, which is heart-pounding.

However, he stared at her nervous face for a long time. After all, he only lightly touched on this bright spring day, then relaxed the strength of his arms, and sighed in a low voice: "Okay, don't be afraid."

Huang Zixia opened her eyes in confusion and surprise, looking at him close at hand.

He raised his hand and stroked her cheek, and said in a low voice, "I don't know if I will die tomorrow, so why bother to provoke you deeper and deeper."

"It doesn't matter." Huang Zixia raised his hand to cover the back of his hand and said softly, "Since I am here tonight, I just want to tell the prince that you are alive and I am alive; you go to northern Xinjiang and I will be the eunuch. Go to Northern Xinjiang; if you have any accidents, I will not live alone."

Li Shubai stared at her, flipped her hand to grasp her hand, and kissed her lips. His voice was slightly hoarse: "Don't be so headstrong, Zi Xian. In this world, perhaps you are the person who knows my current predicament best. Even me. I don’t know if you can retreat all over you, how can you not realize the horror in it."

"Of course I know." Huang Zixia slowly shook her head and said, "All the weird things around you-the little red fish spit out when the first emperor had hemoptysis, the spells obtained from the towers of Xuzhou City, Chen Taifei's madness and the hints left behind , King E’s strange disappearance and death... When I figured out all this, I understood that what I was facing was the most powerful and terrifying force in the world. But the prince, even with my tiny body, I can only use a man’s arm as a car, and I also hope that when the wheel is crushed, it will be slightly deviated. Maybe only a little bit can make this car that crazily crush everything in the world and collapse."

Hearing what she said, Li Shubai was slightly startled, and asked solemnly: "You already know the truth of all these cases?"

"Yes, I have sorted out all these weird and difficult cases, and I have clarified all the context and know all the techniques." She looked at him under the bright, flowing light, her eyes clear and clear. No hesitation.

Li Shubai looked into her eyes, looked at her eyes reflecting her own figure, couldn't help but throbbed her, pulled her against the couch, and whispered: "Okay, anyway, there is still a little time before the upside, you first Tell me about that charm."

Huang Zixia didn't expect that under such a situation, he would say something like this first. She hesitated, turning her head over and leaning on his shoulder, and asked: "Aren't you tired? Are you not going to prepare for other things?"

"Nothing to prepare. Once I go today, I don't know if I can come back again. Before that, I want to hear you solve the biggest doubt in my life." He said, gently hugging her shoulders. He whispered again, "The secret has been revealed, and you are by my side again. No matter what I have to face, I feel relieved."

Huang Zixia silently turned his head to look at him, then sat up straight and said, "Master, take out that box."

Li Shubai gently hugged her shoulders again, then got up to the side, took out the box, and placed it in front of her: "This spell is fickle, and it always hints at my encounters, so weird. I don't know this short time. , Can you explain it clearly?"

"You and I are both people who do not believe in ghosts and gods. As long as you know that it is a man's hands and feet, what is weird and incomprehensible?" Huang Zixian put his hand on the box and said: "This spell's method seems complicated, but in fact it only requires It can be done with a very simple technique. For example, two identical charms and two identical boxes."

Speaking of this, it seemed as if the last layer of yarn had been pierced, and Li Shubai suddenly understood, "Well", thoughtfully: "That's how it is!"

"You once said that after Xuzhou just got the charm, you didn't care about it and just collect it at will. I think at this time someone must have robbed the army to report the death of your mother and concubine, before you and his two charms The word'solitary' is also covered with a red circle—because, to make the same strokes, it can only be in the form of a stamp, otherwise you will definitely find a subtle difference in the strokes. After you first discovered the strange shape of the spell , The other party arranged for the assassin to assassinate, and that person was also on top of the other spell, delineating the residual characters—" Huang Zixian held the thick spell and said softly, "Zhou Zi Qin Cong Yi, the old man who mounted the line The master learned that the calligraphy and painting often have vermilion ink that blends white vinegar and tea ash. Tea leaves can absorb the vinegar taste, and both can absorb the color. The vermilion ink blended in this way will naturally fade after being left for a period of time, leaving only Faint traces. Therefore, if you were killed at that time, the charm is certainly discardable, and if you really become disabled in the assassination, he can also use another piece of ordinary ink to delineate the word'Wang' while the ink has not faded. The spells of the exchange will never fade. But because you are recovering well, the color will naturally fade away and you don’t need to worry about it anymore."

Li Shubai nodded and said: "Then, I began to attach importance to this charm, because I couldn't believe in ordinary locks, so I specially customized this nine palace box. This box takes a very long time to unlock, and when it is made into a box, I randomly assemble an eighty A code that I had never thought of before. I thought it would be able to guard it under my nose at all times. Who knows, but still passive."

"Yes, on the surface, if you don’t know the order of the characters, it will take tens of thousands of attempts to unlock the lock. Even if you memorize the unlock characters, you need to put all the disordered characters one by one. I can’t open it soon. And this box is always under the eyes of the prince. Of course, no one has the courage and so much time to open this box and secretly change spells.” Huang Zixia nodded.

"However, there are two identical boxes, which are different. Close people such as Jing Yu and Zhang Xingying, as long as they have the opportunity to get in and out, can exchange the boxes in a short time, and no one notices it. And even when he exchanges, It’s too late to arrange the scrambled characters on the other box. It can also be said that the characters slide on the box surface when cleaning. It’s not a big problem.” Li Shubai said, and then thought, “Just, that The unlocking codes on the box were all randomly placed by me. The master who made the box might have glanced at it, but I don’t believe that he can remember eighty characters in that instant."

"Yes, it's the unique trick of His Highness Kui. You are the only one in the world. If the master carpenter has such a skill, why should he spend his entire life and die inexplicably?" Huang Zixia said, starting from I took out a hard object from the package I brought, and placed it in front of him, "This is what I found in the carpenter's relic and placed it among the tools he gave to the apprentice."

Li Shubai picked up the thing and frowned slightly: "Propolis?"

"Yes, it is propolis. Generally speaking, poorly crafted woodwork is used to fill the gaps in the tenon, but how does a carpenter who is well-known in Beijing need this kind of thing?" Huang Zixia sat in front of him, Ji looked at him and asked.

Li Shubai looked at her gaze, slowly let out a sigh, and said, "Rubber."

Huang Zixia nodded: "Yes. When Jing Yu was looking for a carpenter for you, he had already bought him. When the last process was completed and you were asked to inlay the characters yourself, he had already laid a thin layer of soft propolis on the wooden table. , Sprinkled with sawdust. When you arrange the characters, he will face down and nail the characters into the small copper sticks. When the characters are under pressure, they will protrude one by one through the tarp and sawdust. It was printed on the propolis. After you left with the box, he lifted the tarp intact, shoveled the propolis, and wiped off the sawdust on it, and you can immediately see what the wording you have arranged at that time. Then, he can make a box with exactly the same code as it is and give it to Jing Yu."

Li Shubai nodded and said: "So, two identical boxes are completed, and the lotus box inside has only twenty-four points. It was originally a smart box that guards against the gentleman and the villain. It is even easier to make a exactly the same. Yu only needs to make the spells and hands and feet, and after placing them, replace my original one."
