Chapter 5 Peach Forest Mandarin Ducks
Xie Qingshu was afraid of irritating Yang Yuege again, so she quickly opened the Guannan Travel Notes, pointed to the last few pages, and changed the subject: "Sister Yang, look at these last few pages. You didn't finish reading them yesterday."

Jiang Sushang agreed from the side: "When Guannan Travels comes out in the future, I will show it to you first, Sister Yang."

Yang Yuege took the Guannan Travel Notes and slowly became fascinated by it, regaining his previous tranquility.

"Meow." A cat meowed, causing Jiang Sushang to stand up.

"Thank you, sister, for taking good care of Sister Yang. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"There are many imperial cats in the palace. Be careful and don't get caught."

Others only thought it was the royal cat's meow. Only Jiang Sushang knew that it was Beilu who was imitating the cat, and the meow was the code agreed upon between them.

The key to the Changle Palace was not locked, so Dali Temple could check it all night long.Two more teams of patrolling guards were added to protect the safety of the Jinshi in Changle Palace.The night was getting darker, and the lights in the east and west halls were brightly lit, which also meant that many people couldn't sleep.

The patrolling guards wore long swords on their waists and walked in unison. They looked in all directions and listened in all directions. If there was any movement, they would rush forward quickly.Occasionally, they would not let go of the imperial cats that hunted mice at night.

At the request of Dali Temple, after nightfall, everyone must be in the room, or three or two in a room, but no one can be alone in the room.

Jiang Sushang walked out of the room cautiously, avoiding the patrolling guards, and then walked into the garden. She saw the guards not far away walking towards her. Jiang Sushang ran away, but Beilu grabbed him. The two hid in the rockery.

The guards clearly saw the figure. They rushed over, but there was no trace. They stopped and looked around.The two of them were hiding in a small space. They were facing each other, close to each other. Jiang Sushang's breathing became rapid and her eyes were closed tightly. The protruding rockery stone hurt her back, and she clenched her teeth. He gritted his teeth, fearing that he would make a sound and attract the guards.

If the guards are attracted, she is a Jinshi and has her uncle as a guarantor, so she can still explain something.

But the appearance of Hokuriku cannot be explained!

Jiang Sushang endured the excruciating pain in his back and urged the guards to leave quickly.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out to her back and held her in his arms. She leaned against the strong arms. The painful spot on her back was blocked by Hokuriku's hand, so it no longer hurt.

Jiang Sushang was distracted for a moment. She and Beilu were no longer children. Being so close made her feel uncomfortable for a while.Maybe it's because she hasn't seen Hokuriku for a long time and she's not used to it!
The guards found nothing unusual, so they continued patrolling. When the guards went away, the two came out of the rockery. Beilu, who was always happy and quiet, his ears turned red, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and he swallowed inaudibly.The night was so dark that Jiang Sushang didn't notice anything unusual about Beilu. Instead, he looked left and right to check the surrounding environment.

"Fang Changliu left Changle Palace."

"Take me there." Jiang Sushang noticed that Fang Changliu had a problem, but she didn't have any evidence, so here comes the evidence.

Beilu's expression remained as usual, his strong arms wrapped around Jiang Sushang's waist, and he flew to a deserted palace.

The deserted Cold Palace was overgrown with weeds and ruined walls. This was the late emperor's palace of Queen Yuan. After Queen Yuan burned herself to death, the late emperor sealed the palace, and no one has set foot there since.Through the moonlight, you can still see the carvings on the beams of the dilapidated palace, which is enough to show the grandeur of the past.

Fang Changliu was burning something, and the light of the fire looked extremely eye-catching in the dark night.

The two of them landed on the ground, and Jiang Sushang could be seen piously closing his eyes and kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped together: "Brother Zhou, it's time for your spirit in heaven to rest in peace! I will carry your ambitions and go further."

"If I hadn't been angry with you that night, you wouldn't have died! We would still be officials in the same court, recite poems and fight together, and go boating on the lake together. Don't blame me, I really don't have the courage to follow you. Go, I just want to live well for you now."

Jiang Sushang and Beilu both squatted in the weeds about half a man's height. Mosquitoes were raging, biting Jiang Suchang all over his face.

Fang Changliu's words are enough to prove that he and Zhou Qiyan have a deep friendship.He shouldn't be the murderer of Zhou Qiyan, and there would be no problem for his uncle to conclude the case. It turns out that Zhou Qiyan did die from asthma, as the Dali Temple autopsy report showed.

"I will burn this thing for you. You can cross Naihe Bridge first, drink Meng Po soup, and forget about me, a heartless and unjust person." Fang Changliu took off the red rope knotted in the same center from around his neck.

Jiang Sushang was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the friendship between the two was not as deep as usual!This knot of hearts is given to the person you like.

Due to the absurdity of the eldest son conceived by the empress and the late emperor, the masculine behavior became known to everyone. After the empress ascended the throne, many male actors' houses were closed. The love between men was not as popular as it was during the late emperor's time. .

But there are some. I think Zhou Qiyan and Fang Changliu are a couple.

Fang Chang stayed until the red rope was burned to ashes, then stood up and left.

The moment he left the palace, a smile of success appeared on the corner of his mouth. Those words were deliberately told to Jiang Sushang.

That person was indeed right, Jiang Sushang was really difficult to deal with.

Jiang Sushang was worried that Fang Changliu's unextinguished fire would cause a fire, so he took Beilu's hand and stepped forward to put out the fire.

"Others burned paper money, but he burned poetry and painting brushes. It seems that he also hopes that Zhou Qiyan can use it underground!" Beilu put out the fire after a few steps.

Jiang Sushang was attracted by a piece of writing brush. She picked up the writing brush and said to herself: "If suicide is established, then why did Sun Ming commit suicide with a writing brush? Why did Bai Qingtian die by swallowing ink? This way of death , as long as they resist, they can stop. In extreme pain, their bodies will also ask them not to continue. Could it be that there is really a pair of invisible hands pushing their hands to let them die?"

Sun Ming and Bai Qingtian have a bright future, and they will not want to commit suicide!
Sun Ming is the first in the test, and Bai Qingtian is the third in the test. Who benefits?

It goes without saying that it is Fang Changliu.

My uncle said: "Whoever is the biggest beneficiary is probably the real murderer."

It can be concluded that Fang Changliu did not kill Zhou Qiyan, but at the beginning of the imperial examination, Fang Changliu did not kill his rival Zhou Qiyan. Why did someone else do it at the beginning of the imperial examination?

This is not reasonable!

"Yang Yuege must know something. I have to ask her to find out. Go back!" Jiang Sushang pinned his hope on Yang Yuege who might know the truth.

Beilu flew away with Jiang Sushang. When Beilu saw a lake in front of him, he landed.

After landing, Jiang Sushang discovered that Beilu had landed in the wrong place. It was not the fault of Beilu, the structure of the palace was mostly the same.There is a peach forest here, and there are no guards patrolling it. It looks particularly quiet and beautiful. The breeze blows, and the peach blossoms are flying. The wind carries the petals and floats far away.

Jiang Sushang had something urgent to do and was about to leave. A man dressed as an eunuch walked into the peach grove and sat down on a stone table in the middle hall of the peach grove.

Beilu took Jiang Sushang and hid in the peach tree.Jiang Sushang wanted to ask Beilu, why don't you leave?She blinked her eyes as if she was asking him!
Beilu wrote on Jiang Sushang's hand: Can't beat him.

Is there anything Hokuriku can't defeat?Jiang Sushang couldn't help but be curious. Looking at the eunuch, he was about forty or fifty. He was wearing a round-collared indigo four-clawed python robe. He had a very high status and should be the chief eunuch of the first palace.The older eunuchs wore round collars, while the younger eunuchs generally wore slanted collars. Looking at them under the moonlight, Jiang Sushang only felt familiar for a moment.

Although she often went to Dali Temple to see her uncle, she never entered the inner palace.

In her memory, she had never seen this person before.

Not long after, a woman wearing a peach-colored palace dress appeared in the peach blossom forest.The peach-colored palace attire is very ordinary, and it is an ordinary palace maid's clothes, but this woman has an extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance.

The noble eunuch and the beautiful little palace maid, Jiang Sushang instantly imagined a big drama.

"This is the place where we first met. I fell in love with you at first sight in the past. Over the years, I finally got what I wanted." The great eunuch pulled the young palace maid into his arms.

……

This great eunuch is still a fake eunuch!

Jiang Sushang just thought that he was unlucky enough to encounter something like this.

"Who?" the great eunuch yelled.

Jiang Sushang covered her mouth, but she didn't make a sound!How come it was discovered?

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Hokuriku quickly hugged Jiang Sushang and ran away. As a result, the eunuch had quick eyesight and picked up a rockery stone. The big stone hit Beilu's back, and both Beilu and Jiang Sushang fell from the air.

The peach tree was also hit by the rockery, and the peach blossoms fell one after another, creating a peach blossom rain.Jiang Sushang had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. She rushed to Beilu worriedly and wiped the blood from his mouth.Fortunately, the place where he landed was in the shadows, with his back to the moonlight, so the eunuch could not clearly see the faces of Jiang Sushang and Beilu. .

Is there such a master in this city?who is he?
Two ordinary people couldn't lift this rockery stone together, but the fake eunuch used his internal strength to lift it up easily.

Beilu used his inner strength to suppress the surging Qi and blood.

Jiang Sushang knew that he wanted to delay time for Beilu. Through the moonlight, he saw the palace maid putting on clothes neatly. Before putting on the clothes, Jiang Sushang saw the flash of tattoos on her back.

It’s peony flower!

Crimson peony flowers.

Jiang Sushang said: "I still have accomplices."
