Uncle, don't overdo it

Dongnan came to Cuizhu Pavilion to meet Ximen Yin.

"If Ting Yuxuan didn't have it, then Lin Ke'er took the dagger back." Ximen Yin said leisurely after hearing that Dongnan searched for Ting Yuxuan but found nothing.

"Obviously it has fallen into someone else's hands." Dongnan said.The man silently took the dagger away for some unknown purpose, "Maybe it was taken away by Yan Yan, and my subordinates will have people track her down as soon as possible."

"No." Ximen Yin blurted out.

"What?" Southeast didn't understand what he didn't want for a while, did he plan to find a dagger?But think about it carefully, that dagger is just a tool, even if it is gone, it won't be enough to affect anything, even if it suddenly appears one day, the Lord must have a countermeasure.In this regard, Southeast is not worried at all.

"Order people to stop and stop looking for rumors. Let the capital government investigate Lin Ke'er's death." Ximen Yin said, "But the Grand Master's Mansion is destroyed, and the capital government may not be able to find anything in the end. An unsolved case."

"Why don't you continue to look for Yanyan? If we find her, we will be able to find out who hired her to kill, so we can be prepared." Dongnan said.

"I'm afraid to continue searching. It's not that we found an employer, but that we fell into another trap and exposed ourselves." Ximen Yin said, "Perhaps someone is staring at Xiao Yan at this time, wanting to know who is interested in her, so We must not be the ones who are interested in this.”

"The lord means that someone deliberately wants to find us by using rumors?" Southeast understood.

Ximen Yin nodded, stood up, and walked to the window, "Yes, otherwise, if you want to kill Lin Ke'er, there's no need to hire Yan Yan, leaving such obvious clues, I almost fell for it, fortunately, there is still time, let our People stop as soon as possible."

"Who killed Lin Ke'er?" Dong Nan wanted to know.

"It must be that Lin Ke'er's false handwriting has been known." Ximen Yin said, "If Ximen Jingxuan and Lin Xiner don't think of that trick, I will be very disappointed. The fake handwriting is only possible. Stir the muddy waters when things are chaotic, and when things calm down, they will come to the surface."

"Could it be that Shuiyue Palace really killed the people? The motive for the murder was because Lin Ke'er falsely sent a handbook to harm them?" Southeast thought.

"If it's true that Lin Xiner can't stand Lin Keer, that's fine, but if..." Ximen Yin's eyes flickered.

"My lord, I'm afraid it was King Xuan who did it?" Dongnan couldn't even believe it when he said this.

Ximen Yin looked out the window, but didn't say anything.

"My lord, this subordinate almost forgot. When sneaking into Prince Xuan's mansion at night, this subordinate took the opportunity to go to Mo Yaxuan. I wanted to inquire carefully, but I was afraid of alarming the guards, so I just walked around the house and found Take this." Saying this, Dongnan took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Ximen Yin.

Ximen Yin turned around, took the paper and opened it.

It was a piece of high-quality rice paper, although it was a little yellowed, it was still very heavy in the hand.

When it was opened, a painting was revealed. It was obvious that the painting was divided into two parts, one part was made many years ago, and the other part was newly painted lines.

this painting……

Ximen Yin's eyes fixed on the figure of the little girl.

"The subordinate felt that this painting seemed to be in line with what the one-eyed man said, so he took it and presented it to the Lord." Dongnan said.

"I understand..." Ximen Yin nodded and said, "This is the answer!"

"What answer?" Southeast was puzzled.

"Even if there is no dagger to prove it, Ximen Jingxuan knows who the real rescuer is, so..." Ximen Yin paused, "Lin Ke'er was probably thrown away by him on purpose."

"A painting of King Xuan recalling the past can explain this?" Dong Nan asked.

"This painting was made by two people. The old pen and ink came from King Xuan, and the new pen and ink must come from Lin Xiner." Ximen Yin said with certainty, and only Lin Xiner had the opportunity to paint when she lived in Moyaxuan Only those who have personally experienced it can draw such a detailed image.

"It turns out that the two have known each other for a long time." Dongnan said.

So wouldn't it be self-defeating for the master to use Lin Ke'er's arrangement?

"Burn this painting immediately, and it must not be discovered again, and Ximen Jingxuan must not find it." Ximen Yin's expression was slightly terrified, and a rare look of horror flashed in his eyes.

If they had stepped into the schemes of Ximen Jingxuan and Lin Xiner, wouldn't he be in a very dangerous situation?

"Yes!" Southeast picked up the painting, walked to the table, picked up the flint next to the candlestick, knelt down and lit the painting.

Soon, a painting was reduced to ashes.

Ximen Jingxuan must not be allowed to follow a lost painting to find his head!

"Did you go to Mo Yaxuan and didn't alarm anyone?" Ximen Yin asked this question again cautiously.

"No, this subordinate didn't realize that he was being followed." Dong Nan said, he was very confident in his own skill.

"Perhaps, without Zheng Xianlun, Mo Yaxuan's guards have relaxed." Ximen Yin can only think this way, "It seems that Zheng Xianlun was indeed imprisoned somewhere in Mo Yaxuan."

"Master, what should we do now?" After burning the painting, Southeast stood up and asked.

"First call back the person who was looking for the rumor, and stop all other movements. I have to investigate the matter between Lin Xin'er and Ximen Jingxuan first." Ximen Yin said, "I will act after I have a confirmation."

"The servant sees the second prince!"

With the sound of footsteps outside the house, the voice of the little eunuch eagerly saluted.

Southeast quickly flashed behind the screen and left the room.

"Why is the smell of burning paper mixed with the smell of medicine, and for whom is the third emperor burning paper money?" Ximen Hen asked as he walked towards Ximen Yin's room.

Ximen Yin glanced at the unprocessed ashes on the ground, stepped forward, and squatted down.

At the same time, Ximenhen pushed the door open and entered.

"Third Emperor Brother, you are here to feel at ease, there are not so many rules when you come and go." Ximenhen said as he entered the door.

Ximen Yin's heart is dark, will you just let you break in at will?

However, Ximen Yin didn't make a sound on the surface, stood up slowly, and called out, "Second Brother."

"Huh? What are you doing?" Ximenhen looked curiously at the pile of ashes on the ground, "I thought you were burning paper for someone in the house, it doesn't look like it!"

"I burned an old painting." Ximen Yin said, paying attention to Ximen Hen calmly.

Such a coincidence, don't you know something?So, he said half-seriously.

"Oh." Ximenhen replied casually, as if he didn't care about it, walked to the chair and sat down.

"Why did Second Emperor Brother come to my place today?" Ximen Yin walked to another chair, sat down and asked.

"It's a mess outside the palace, I'll come back and hide for a while." Ximenhen said, "But I don't know where to go, so I came to you. You won't dislike me too, will you?"

"How come?" Ximen Yin smiled, "Why do we hate each other? I would like to hear what happened outside the palace. What made the emperor escape back to the palace?"

"Sorrowful..." Ximenhen sighed, frowning.

"Is there something that worries the emperor?" Ximen Yin asked, "Isn't the emperor always in his heart?"

"Uncle Huang ordered me to find someone. Lin Xiner and Lin Bo choose one, who do you think I should choose?" Ximen Hen poured out his bitterness to Ximen Yin.

"Why did you get involved?" Ximen Yin asked with a smile, "I'm afraid that Uncle Huang will still refuse to give up on you, so I want you to grow up."

"It's hard to say." Ximenhen sighed, "Have you heard about the Grand Master's Mansion?"

Ximen Yin nodded.

"That's right, even if you don't hear about such a big thing, you will still hear about it." Ximen Hen said, "How could I choose Lin Bo? I chose Lin Xiner, but Lin Xiner is not easy to find. ..."

"Second Brother really should do something. As a heir of the royal family, you can't just watch the Emperor and the Crown Prince busy around. I'm really useless, but Second Brother is different..."

"Stop!" Before Ximen Yin finished speaking, Ximenhen interrupted, "Two people are enough to do things. If the father only has the prince and one son, who else can he count on? I am not as good as you, so I will It’s good to be free and unrestrained without fighting for anything.”

"What does this have to do with birth?" Ximen Yin said, "We are brothers connected by the same line, and you are also the son of the emperor, for the Ximen family..."

"Okay, okay..." Ximenhen stood up, "I went to the palace to hide my troubles, but I was lectured by you, forget it, I'd better go somewhere else."

Saying that, Ximen Hen left the Cuizhu Pavilion as if fleeing.

Ximen Yin sat still, his eyes squinted, and he glanced at the pile of ashes blown away by the wind blown by the door...

Ximenhen returned to his residence in the palace that was almost vacant every day, a courtyard about the size of the Cuizhu Pavilion, maybe it had a name before, but in his memory, it was an unnamed place, just like His mansion in the capital only existed without a name.

Since his father became emperor, he lived here with his mother. He used to call his mother his mother, although because of giving birth to him, the lowly maid was given the title of concubine.

Then one day, his mother suddenly fell insane. It is said that she was frightened when she saw the lonely soul of Leng's family in the previous dynasty. After going crazy for a while, she disappeared and went to nowhere.

No one cared about his mother, only he searched for it by himself, and later someone found a decomposed corpse in the well, carrying her mother's relics.

His mother died quietly like this, leaving him alone in this courtyard from now on.

Ximenhen paced back and forth in the yard, his eyes were clear and mixed with thoughts, completely different from the drunken eyes seen by outsiders.

He was thinking about last night.

Last night, he sneaked into Zhiqi's place and left after giving her the dagger, but just after he left Prince Xuan's mansion, he discovered that someone else had sneaked into the palace.

He found a commanding height outside Prince Xuan's Mansion to hide, and paid attention to the movement in Prince Xuan's Mansion. After a while, the man sneaked out again, as if he took out something like a scroll from his sleeve to look at it, and folded it again. He left in his arms.

Ximenhen tried to follow him, but the man acted strangely, and he couldn't find him soon.
