Seeing the determination and smile on Murong's poem, and seeing the cold air in His Highness's eyes, Shen Zhiyan said with a serious face: "The princess, the companion is not expensive. It is enough for your highness to have me as a companion."

Murong Shi raised his chin and nodded approvingly, "Of course, the prince's accompaniment is not much expensive. Lord Shen, you are also the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and you are busy with your affairs. How can you have time to accompany your prince? I am too incompetent." She looked at Murongci and straightened her chest, "His Royal Highness, I will accompany you every day as my companion, and I will wait for your Royal Highness."

Murongci restrained the urge to throw her out, noncommittal, and looked at Shen Zhiyan coldly.

He understood the meaning of his Highness, and a sly flashed in his eyes, saying: "The princess was born in the royal palace, so expensive, he is naturally qualified to be the prince's companion. But the prince's companion is not so good. Dare to ask the princess, Are you familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics? If you want to be accompanied by the prince, the first thing is to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics upside down. It is better to memorize the "Mencius" to your Royal Highness."

Qin Ruo and Ruyi looked at each other, how could Princess Duanrou memorize it?

"This..." Murong Shi scratched his head, showing a little embarrassment, "I learned from the master a few years ago, but after many years, I forgot."

"The princess, why don't you go back and ask a master to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and wait for you to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and then come to see your Highness."

Shen Zhiyan had fun in his heart. He had long known that Princess Duanrou was not learning and skillless. Even after studying with the master for a few years, he would play truant every day to climb trees and dig out bird nests and go down to the river to catch fish. Furthermore, she was born in a general family, and the Royal Palace was rather negligent in the cultivation of literature for future generations.

Murongci walked out, exhaling a long breath, "Shen Sir, there are still important matters in this palace to discuss with you."

He immediately followed and left Murong Poetry there.

Murong Shi watched them leave and wanted to stop them, but only opened her mouth, biting her lower lip unwillingly.

Qin Ruo persuaded: "Princess, it's night, you should go back to the palace first."

Standing at the gate of the temple, Murong Shi looked back at the East Palace, her heart firmer.

...

A whitish fish appeared in the sky in the east, and the first light of the sky pierced the thick darkness like a sharp arrow.

In Wan Lai's silence, a muffled thunder rolled in from the distant sky.

Yuan Shun, the servant of the night watch of the Emperor's Sleeping Hall, was awakened by Meng Lei, raised her head in a daze, and looked through the thin window paper to see that it was still dark outside, and then fell asleep again.

Then, there was a pattering sound outside the hall.

The first rain of early summer sifted down like beans, banging on the yellow glazed tiles, clanging.

Yuan Shun was no longer sleepy, and simply got up and went to see your Majesty in the sleeping hall.

Your Majesty slept very deeply, and the spacious royal tent was as quiet as death.

Then, Yuan Shun gently opened the temple door and looked out.

In the early morning, the slanting wind swept across his face, and the air-conditioning went straight to the bottom of his sleeves and the front of his shirt, and he shivered suddenly.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, his face was full of surprise and suspicion, and he opened the door of the palace a bit.

Suddenly, he was panting violently, covering his mouth subconsciously, with anxiety and fear intertwined on his face.

How could this be?

He didn't dare to delay anymore and rushed out to find someone.

East Palace.

Murong Ci was very thoughtful, and was awakened by the rain in the early morning, and he could not fall asleep anymore.

The hurried footsteps were already very low, but she still heard them.

She sat up and held her aching head, "What's the matter?"

Ruyi used the lotus gold hook to hold the jade-colored yarn tent, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The attendant in the Qingyuan Hall will report..."

"Father has an accident?" Murong Ci's heart jerked up, and immediately went to bed, pulled the robes from the hangers, and "changed for my palace."

"Your Majesty, don't panic, Your Majesty is fine." Ruyi quickly calmed down, "Yuan Shun and other servants have witnessed it with their own eyes. Your Highness Qing Yuan is raining blood."

Murongci's heart fell back to where he was, but his eyebrows frowned, and the second thing in that song really came true.

It’s just that it’s raining blood, sir, isn’t it weird?

When she came outside, the air-conditioning and water breeze rushed forward. She looked at the gray sky, at the continuous palaces shrouded by the rain, and at the scenery blurred and covered by the rain of early summer. Suddenly, there was a surge in her heart. panic.

Many palace people stood in front of the Qingyuan Hall, panicking.

Liu An was standing under the hallway with the whisk in his arms, looking at the **** rain below, his shrewd face was a little worried and sad.

Seeing the prince coming, he saluted through the rain curtain, "His Royal Highness, the slave dare not destroy the scene, so I will salute you here."

Ruyi was holding an umbrella for His Highness, and Murongci stood one foot in front of the palace, with reddish rain under his feet.

Murongci looked over and found that the rainwater under the corridors of the hall was relatively red, like a murder scene that had been washed away by rainwater. And the rain falling from the eaves of the palace had returned to its original transparency, with only a trace of blood color occasionally.

She stepped on the steps of the temple under the rain, and Ruyi received the bone palace umbrella with hibiscus painted on it.

"His Royal Highness, Yuan Shun got up when the sky was light, and saw scarlet rain flowing down from the eaves of the temple." Liu An said with a heavy face, "This is true, and I have witnessed all of these with my own eyes."

"Have you sent someone to the roof to see it?" Murongci felt depressed.

"Later the rain subsided, the minion sent a few people to the roof to have a look." Liu An said.

"Is the father awake?" She looked at Yuanshun and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty is awake, but it's still early, and he hasn't gotten up yet." Yuan Shun led the way and entered the bedroom.

On the long couch, Murong Cheng closed his eyes, as if asleep, with a peaceful face.

Murongci didn't want to disturb his father, and asked Yuan Shun in a low voice, "Is that what Liu An said?"

Yuan Shun nodded, "The slave dare not hide it."

Outside, there was the voice of Liu An commanding the guards to go up to the roof to inspect. She came to the outer steps of the hall and waited for the result.

At this time, Concubine Xiao’s Luan hurried over and saw the light red rain on the ground. She was taken aback and glanced at Murong Ci indifferently, and went into the sleeping hall to visit His Majesty.

Three wooden ladders were erected on the eaves of the temple. Due to the wet and slippery rain, the guards could only look up from the top of the wooden ladders, saying that the roof was not unusual.

Not long after hearing the news, the regent Murong Yu, Dali Temple Qing Gu Huai, and Dali Temple Shaoqing Shen Zhiyan arrived at the same time.

Murong Yu looked at the pale red blood all over the floor with a gloomy face.

The rain wetted his black python robe, the hem of the robe and the robe of his clothes were soaked, which shows that the journey is in a hurry.

It has been raining for more than half an hour, and the rainwater accumulated on the ground is still light red, which shows the amount of blood.

His gentle gaze involuntarily swept to the prince standing aside, Murongci was originally waiting for Shen Zhiyan to report to him, but suddenly he noticed that a gaze was watching him, and then turned to look. The eyes of the two collided, and she subconsciously turned her gaze away, confused and a little uncomfortable.

She didn't know why this happened.

Gu Huai asked Liu An. Shen Zhiyan inspected the scene and walked up to the prince. Half of his body was wet from the rain. "Blood water dissolves in rain water. It is no longer possible to tell whether it is human blood or dog blood or pig blood."

She nodded, "This incident is unusual. Like yesterday's blood jade from heaven, this palace feels it is artificial."

At this time, the palace people gathered under the east side corridor were whispering.

"This matter is too weird. There is no blood rain in other palaces, but the blood rain of His Majesty Qingyuan."

"Yesterday, Fengtian Temple Heaven Dropped Blood Jade hasn't been found out yet. An accident happened again this morning. The blood rain was weird."

"Could it be a scourge?"

"Remember what was sung in that song? The first two things have been fulfilled. Will fish and man eating happen next?"

"I guess, 80% will, I guess someone is going to die."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to be heard by the manager."

Liu An's gloomy gaze swept over, and the palace men hurriedly closed their mouths, not daring to discuss any more.

He asked the regent: "My lord, this matter..."

Murong Yu's eyes were dark, "Tell the palace people to clean the front of the hall."

Liu An got the order and went to order the palace man.

Gu Huai pondered for a long while and said, "Master, this morning has fulfilled the second thing in that song. Could it really be related to that song? Where did that song come from?"

Although he doesn't believe in strange powers, these two things are too coincidental.

Murongci asked: "Have any palace members disappeared or died in the palace?"

"The minister ordered the people below to investigate. According to reports, no one in the palace is missing or dead." He frowned and replied.

"No one in the palace is missing or dead, that is to say, the blood used in these two things did not come from the palace." Shen Zhiyan said.

"Master Gu, find out the truth as soon as possible." The world was damp and gray, and Murong Yu's pupils were dark and shiny, as if he was the only one awake.

"The lower officials obey orders." Gu Huai bowed his hands and bowed his hands, beginning to feel anxious.

This rain of blood is not good, but it happened to be in the Palace of the Emperor of Heaven. This incident is no small thing. It is even more shocking than the blood jade from the Palace of Fengtian yesterday. Just imagine, if the blood rain of His Highness Qingyuan was man-made, then when the perpetrators set out to leave the Qingyuan Hall, it would be like entering the realm of no one. Wouldn't it be easy to murder Your Majesty?

Therefore, the safety of your majesty has become a sharp sword hanging in the hearts of everyone.

The more he thought about it, the more he was frightened, and saw the imperial king negotiate with the commander of the imperial guard in a low voice to deploy the patrol of the palace and Qingyuan Hall.

When the rain stopped, everyone dispersed.

Murong resigned and went in to see his father, and said goodbye after a few words.

As soon as she stepped out of the hall, she heard footsteps behind, a familiar footstep.

"His Royal Highness, take a step to speak." Murong Yu said in a low voice.

"Can't you say it here?" She raised her eyes to look at him, discarding the confused thoughts.

He walked directly to the east hallway, and she had to follow.

His jet-black hair was stained with a drop or two of small crystal water, and his handsome face was exceptionally cold.

"Have you found anything?" His voice was cool.

"I haven't found it yet." Murongci said indifferently. After being washed by rain, the green leaves were bright and fresh, and the delicate flowers were still swaying in the wind.

Drops of rain fell intermittently on the eaves of the palace, like a broken pearl.

Murong Yu turned to look at her, his eyes clear, "His Royal Highness had better not go out these days and stay in the East Palace. Please rest assured that your Royal Highness has ordered the Imperial Guard to increase the defense of the Qingyuan Palace and patrol the palace. Make sure your majesty is safe and sound."
