withered prosperity

This morning, the sound of the drum did not wake Yan Hai up, and he slept until the sun was high.

He woke up in the soft bed, his eyes were dark.

Is it still daylight?So Xiaoran...

It took him a while to realize that he was not in the room in Chaomu Lord's courtyard.

This is Shangjing, Yin Twelve's Prince Cheng's Mansion. The darkness is not because the sky is dark, but the heavy curtain on the bed blocks the sunlight.

Yan Hai closed his eyes again and let out a long breath.

He thought that he should have been drinking to sleep so deeply.

Of course, the most important thing is "Yue Cuiwei" who was arrogant, arrogant and moody more than ten years ago, which made him feel very tired.

But what he can rely on now is this "Yue Cuiwei".

Just like last night on the White Deer Stage, he just wanted to make Yin Jiu feel that everything is still the same as it was many years ago, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do, and he must think twice before making a stupid request.

You can't show weakness... Now it's like walking on a suspended rope, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Fortunately, there was Yunji by his side this time.

Thinking of Yun Ji, Yan Hai smiled.

Although he didn't want Yun Ji to get involved in these things, it cannot be denied that with Yun Ji by his side, many things would be much easier.

And... Yan Hai couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his lips.

The slightest pain still exists, but it can't affect his happy mood at all.

But the next moment, his smile froze on his lips.

Yan Hai almost staggered and rushed out of the bed. During this period, he was tired by the quilt and bed curtain, and almost fell several times.

He rushed barefoot to the bronze mirror in the room.

This mirror was finely crafted and could clearly reflect his terrified face.

He touched the thin crack at the corner of his mouth with trembling fingers.

He had no way to deceive himself, saying that Yun Ji hadn't seen it.

Yun Ji must have... already seen it!

He propped himself against the wall, feeling dizzy and dizzy, unable to stand at all.

A fishy and sweet taste rushed up from his throat. Yan Hai bent down and covered his mouth, feeling some warm liquid pouring out uncontrollably.

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

Yun Ji opened the door and walked in. Seeing him standing on the ground with bare feet, he couldn't help frowning.

But immediately, he smelled blood.

He stepped behind Yan Hai in one step, wrapped his arms around his waist, and raised his head with the other.

Blood dripped from Yan Hai's jaw like beads with a broken thread.

"What's going on?" He couldn't help raising his voice.

How could such a good-looking person get injured just by turning around?

How did you get hurt?Who hurt him?

Yan Hai, who was forced to look up, couldn't help but flinch when he saw him.

Yun Ji's eyes darkened.

Yan Hai looked at him with fear in his eyes, as if he was something terrible.

Ever since he was a child, he has been looked at by his mother like this many times... His hand holding Yan Hai's chin tightened unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" He slowed down and softened his voice, and asked again.

Yan Hai trembled all over, and turned his head to the side to break away from his restraint.

"Don't move." Yun Ji lowered his head and leaned into his ear and said, "Be good, or I will get angry."

His voice didn't sound right, Yan Hai froze.

"Yun Ji..." He said carefully: "I'm fine, let me talk..."

"All right?" Yun Ji wiped his lips with his fingertips, dyeing his hands bright red: "Are you all right?"

"I'm really fine." Yan Hai struggled a bit. "It's just that I accidentally bit my tongue, it's okay."

Yun Ji hugged him into his arms from behind, and gently stroked his neck with his bloody hand.

"Did I bite you yesterday?" he asked. "Are you mad at me?"

Yan Hai shook his head.

"Then what are you afraid of?" He wanted to turn Yan Hai around, but Yan Hai was unwilling no matter what.

"I'm not afraid, it's just..." Yan Hai's voice became lower and lower: "Can you let me go first?"

"You don't have to be afraid." Yun Ji laughed suddenly: "I didn't see anything."

Yan Hai became even stiffer.

"I thought you would tell me anything as long as I asked." Yun Ji finally let go of his hand, and took a step back: "Then if I ask now, will you tell me?"

Yan Hai raised his hand to cover his face.

"Yan Hai." Yun Ji deliberately called out his name.

"Let me think about it." Yan Hai took a few steps forward, wanting to stay away from him, for fear that if he said a few more words, he would tell the whole story.

Yun Ji lowered his eyelashes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay." He said gently, "but you'd better think it through before telling me."

His attitude was so peaceful, and he didn't see any anger at all, which made Yan Hai feel more and more uneasy.

Yun Ji walked to the bed and took his shoes and coat.

"I'll get someone to bring hot water over. You can freshen up first, and then we'll go out."

"Where are you going?" Yan Hai half covered his cheeks and looked at him blankly.

"You don't really think, I believe you bit your tongue?" Yun Ji threw the shoes to his feet and put his coat on him, "Let's go to Wei Heng and let him take a good look at it for you .”

"I do not have……"

Yun Ji didn't speak, just stared at him, so that he could no longer deny or refuse.

He could only nod his head.

The Bai family's house is on Shuiqu Lane not far from Chengwang Mansion.

After the wealthy Jiangdong Bai family moved to Shangjing, they bought the entire alley, demolished several adjacent mansions, and rebuilt it into today's Baifu.

At that time, just to transport the luggage of a group of female relatives in the mansion to Shangjing, a total of ten ships were used, and there were as many as three hundred carriages entering Beijing.

Extravagance and wealth can be seen.

Looking at it from a distance, apart from the lack of grade decorations and plaques, the gate of this mansion is more magnificent than that of Chengwang Mansion. It is said that there are three groups of 12 people on duty in three groups in rotation.

It's just that this magnificent mansion usually has a lot of traffic in front of it, but today the gate is closed for some reason, and when they passed the alley just now, there seemed to be many people standing in the distance and pointing.

Yan Hai slowed down and glanced at Yun Ji beside him.

Now his face has returned to normal, even the marks on his lips and neck are gone.Just now when Yunji saw him coming out of the room like this, he was a little surprised, and reached out to touch his neck, asking if the wound was still there.

After realizing that he was just trying to cover it up, Yun Ji still smiled inexplicably.

Laughing so much that he was worried and uneasy along the way...

"It seems that there was a murder case." Yun Ji saw that he was absent-minded, and told him what he had just heard. "Bai Lele died in his own room. The method of death is very similar to the previous murders in Beijing. It seems that it was done by one person."

"Impossible, I've already burned her clean, so I won't survive this time." Yan Hai felt restless, and said the retort directly.

Yun Ji raised his eyebrows.

Yan Hai's eyelids twitched.

But Yun Ji didn't say anything, but went directly to knock on the door.

Immediately a porter came and opened the door.

"Doctor Wei?" The concierge said politely, not because they were dressed differently, "There was an accident in our house last night. They took all the people away, and before dawn today, my master Bai Linyun invited Dr. Wei to go to the Prison Department together."

"Since Wei Heng has something to do, let's go back first!" Yan Hai said to Yun Ji, "Don't you think I'm fine now? I'll be fine if I'm late."

Yun Ji shook his head.

"I heard that Murongji has a famous doctor under his command, so let him and Wei Heng give you a consultation. And..." He said, "It just so happens that I am also quite interested in this murder case."
