The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the cold wind is howling.

In the corridors of the palace garden, an angry wind lantern was burning every few steps. It was dim and could not illuminate places farther away at all.

A black shadow suddenly emerged from a dark corner on the east side of the Splendid Palace, avoiding the patrolling guards, and sneakily ran towards the courtyard wall. The cat stayed in the shadow of the courtyard wall for a while, making sure that the guards were patrolling elsewhere.

When the place was gone, the man suddenly stood up from the ground, climbed over the wall quickly and landed lightly outside the wall. He huddled in the corner of the wall, saw a guard coming towards him in the distance, and immediately walked two steps quickly.

He took a few steps and ducked into a dark alley. After avoiding this group of night patrol guards, before the next round of patrols arrived, he climbed over a courtyard wall and walked along a secluded path toward the dark palace in the distance.

Run.

Mandrill was not on duty in the hall in the second half of the night, so the shadow guard hiding on the beam did not notice anyone outside the hall. It can be seen that the person outside the hall is also an expert in night walking and is good at hiding his own aura. The shadow guard only paid attention to

The airflow in the palace fluctuated, and it was known that there were no other signs of life except the emperor and Concubine Jin, so everything was normal. As long as outsiders were not allowed to approach them and poisonous insects and poisonous substances were not allowed to enter the palace, everything would be fine.

This night was quite peaceful.

Of course, that's only for the majority of people. As for the small minority -

The shadow carefully returned to his own place, quietly opened the window that he had left open when he left, and turned over to enter the room.

Fortunately, no one discovered him. He breathed a sigh of relief, took off his mask, and began to take off his night clothes without lighting a candle.

"What a good idea." A low sigh suddenly came from the darkness. The night traveler was taken aback, and without asking any questions, he directly struck out with his palm in the direction of the sound. The other party avoided it lightly, but the night traveler pressed on relentlessly.

He went up to fight fiercely, with vicious and cruel moves. Under his increasingly fierce attacks, the intruders had to start to defend themselves.

The two exchanged dozens of moves, each of which could kill someone. However, they were careful to avoid breakable objects, and even tables, chairs, candlesticks and other easily hit places were not affected by their palms. It can be seen that both sides

They all used a lot of skill. If the Mandrill guards were watching the battle at this time, they would have to admire the exquisiteness of these two people's martial arts.

Maybe the time was dragging on longer than expected. Seeing that Ye Xingren couldn't take down the opponent for a while, he couldn't help but became anxious and began to sweep across with his palms regardless of the consequences - there was a bang and the vase broke. The intruder was also shocked and retreated a few times.

Take long steps to steady your body.

This suddenly alerted the guards on duty at night, and immediately someone gathered around them and shouted loudly outside the door, saying: "Who is it?"

"Nothing! I can't sleep, so I need to get up and take a pee!"

When he heard the voice of the uninvited guest, the night traveler was startled. He immediately retracted his hand and stared at the other person with blazing eyes, gritting his teeth in secret hatred.

"It turns out to be the Second Prince!" The guard outside the door immediately became more respectful, deliberately slowed down his voice, and asked through the door: "Your Majesty is up at night, why don't you ask the palace attendant to light the lamp?"

"No need! Your master is not in good health and is sleeping deeply. If someone comes in again to light the candle, I'm afraid he will be awakened again. I'm fine, that's fine!" The man who answered seemed very worried.

He looked considerate, softened his voice, and responded fluently.

"The Second Prince is really considerate of his master! I don't dare to disturb you, so I will leave now." As he said that, the guards in the courtyard gradually dispersed.

After everyone had gone away, Ye Xingren snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Second Emperor Brother is so excited! He doesn't rest even in the middle of the night. He still misses me, Sixth Brother, and visits me personally. I am so lucky to have such a person.

Considerate brother!"

How could Lin Hanyu not hear the sarcasm in his words? But he didn't care much. He just smiled and said: "Sixth brother, you are so complimentary. Brother Huang, I am not worried about your illness. I am afraid that you will be alone in the quilt at night and be cold, and you are not coquettish."

I just came to warm the bed, so I came to cover you with the quilt! I just didn’t expect that——" The tone was protracted in vain, and then the incense candle was lit with a "click", and the beating firelight instantly illuminated the faces of the two of them, one was gloomy, and the other was

Vicious, two pairs of wolf-like eyes full of wildness, exuding wild beast-like light, were glaring at each other without giving in.

After half a minute, Lin Hanyu smiled strangely and continued: "I just didn't expect that the sixth brother is so capable that he no longer needs my brother's care." After saying this, he sat down generously and played with the jade ring in his hand.

Give the other person a sideways glance.

Lin Wenyu didn't even explain. In front of him, he took off the remaining clothes and kicked all the night clothes under the bed. Then, wearing only his inner clothes, he poured some hot water from the copper kettle on the warm basin.

I washed my face in the copper basin, wetted my towel with water and wiped my neck and hands with water. Then I put down the towel and asked slowly:

"I wonder why my second brother came to visit late at night? Wen Yu thinks it's not as simple as gossiping." As he spoke, he walked towards the large carved rosewood bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and untied his feet.

Throw the belt and soft-soled leather boots under the bed, then sit cross-legged on the outside of the bed and start massaging the soles of your feet with your palms.

Looking at his series of familiar movements, Lin Hanyu knew that he had not behaved like this for a day or two, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"Sixth brother! You are too cunning. Although the capital is good, it is enough to build a separate courtyard in a prosperous area in the middle of the capital. Why stay in the palace? Is the palace really so good? You have been living here for a long time and you are reluctant to leave?

You are a grown-up, it’s time to get married and start a household on your own! If you stay here all the time, don’t you think your emperor brother will get bored of you and make people gossip? "

Lin Wenyu raised his eyes slightly, looked at him indifferently, pursed his plump red lips, and said sarcastically:

"Second brother is very well-informed. I don't know which scoundrel slave I heard those vulgar words that cannot be put on the table. But I have always been upright and not afraid of those unreliable rumors."

"Rumor?" Lin Hanyu smiled, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and grinned a cruel smile. "If it is really a rumor, why did nearly a hundred palace maids and palace attendants suddenly disappear?" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his face also changed.

Terribly gloomy.

Lin Wenyu burst out laughing as if he had heard something incredible.

"The Queen Mother didn't like those gossiping palace people, so she sent them all out of the palace. As for whether they went home or went to relatives' houses, or started a small business somewhere else after leaving the palace, I can decide

I don’t know anymore!” As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the other person, his eyes full of sarcasm, and smiled slyly, “Could it be that among the dismissed palace servants, there is an old friend of the second emperor’s brother?”

Lin Hanyu said nothing and did not need to answer.

Because what he said is true.

Among the group of palace people who suddenly disappeared, there was the spy he had placed beside the Sixth Prince. And there was more than one person.

It was just the Queen Mother's move that caused him to lose more than a dozen people. Even his careful arrangements and plans over the years were ruined! Could it be that the Queen Mother sensed something? However, he did not start to take action and did not

He wants to take action soon! He just suspected that the Sixth Emperor Brother was not as simple as he seemed, so he sent someone to monitor him...

"Are you very unwilling?"

Lin Wenyu seemed to see through what he was thinking and spoke again.

"Why not be willing to give in!" Lin Hanyu didn't want to let the other party have the upper hand, even if it was just verbally, he didn't want to lose. "At least, what I gain is much more important than what I lose! I won't go away tonight in vain.

This experience really opened my eyes!"

Lin Wenyu's face looked ugly now.

His martial arts practice was actually revealed by others, and he was also a sworn enemy. Although their goals may be different, it is always bad to be caught. The feeling - indescribable, in short, it is very bad, no less

When I saw that despicable woman standing together with the most noble man in the Yan Kingdom, I felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly...

"Tell me what you want from me."

Since he couldn't tell that the second emperor brother's arrival tonight was hostile to him, he was asking for something from him, but it just happened that he revealed something that he tried his best to hide.

Seeing that the other party was so understanding, Lin Hanyu stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Has the Emperor encountered anything recently?"

Lin Wenyu rolled his eyes at him. "How do you say this?"

"He is so different from my impression."

"Even you who are far away in Yunnan have noticed it. It seems that the emperor's brother has changed a lot."

"When did it start?"

"Ah. I don't know about that. It's just that when I came back from a trip, he was like this."

"Tell me something specific. What exactly did he do?"

"I thought the second brother also sent someone to look after the emperor brother." Lin Wenyu had a sarcastic smile on his lips. "I didn't expect that you are only interested in me. I am so lucky to have such attention from my brother." After that, he said.

, those words almost burst out from between the teeth.

"You are more dangerous." Lin Hanyu did not hide anything and expressed his opinion openly. "The innocent and simple guy Lin Jingyu is easier to control and does not need us to worry about him. The Liu family alone is enough to keep him busy.

Now. What I am more worried about now is—the Queen Mother, right?"

Lin Wenyu hesitated for a while and frowned slightly. "Mother, she didn't do anything."

"Including that Concubine Jin? Wasn't it her instruction?"

"No. The queen mother has always wanted to get rid of that woman, thinking that such a lowly woman is not worthy of anyone in the royal family." Lin Wenyu's voice was a little cold when he said this, and his face seemed to be covered with ice.

, expressionless. Lin Hanyu couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he stopped answering and returned to the original question.

"What unusual behavior has the Emperor shown lately?"

"I don't recruit concubines to sleep with me, I only favor Concubine Jin; I like to eat in Qixia Palace, I like to collect rare treasures, and search for official status; I don't like palace maids, but I have a special affection for eunuchs and young male attendants; I don't write or paint

, but likes to go to the military camp to practice a few moves with the soldiers..."

The more Lin Hanyu listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more incredible he became.

Is this... is this still Lin Jingyu? Except his body has not changed, it is as if he has become a different person!

"Yes, he is not Lin Jingyu at all!"

Lin Wenyu read his thoughts on his face. They were also his true feelings in his heart!
