The Golden Hairpin

Wang Yun suddenly felt a fire in his heart. He was furious and at a loss, but he heard several ministers next to him whispering: "This... isn't this the scene of King E jumping off the Xiangluan Pavilion at that time?"

"Yeah! I didn't expect the old scene to reappear, almost exactly the same. It's just that King E pointed to King Kui and said that he was persecuting himself, but now, the person who wants to jump is replaced by the **** next to King Kui..."

"This...does this little eunuch, like those in front of you, have to complain?" The person who said this had a strange tone. Obviously he not only remembered the scene when King E jumped off the building that day, but also got in touch. The tragedy of Zhang Xingying's father jumping off the tower.

"Hush, King Kui is here..." The other party tried to lower his voice.

Wang Yun looked at Li Shubai’s calm face, and then looked back at Huang Zixian Lingfeng’s body, seeing her teetering on the railing, he only felt a heart in his throat, but he didn’t dare to move or shout. Look here.

I only heard Huang Zixian’s voice, coming from afar: "Your Majesty, sirs! I am here to repeat what King E did that day, just to prove that if there is a spirit in the sky, I can also disintegrate and rise to the immortal, turning into blue smoke. go."

"A bunch of nonsense! How can this little eunuch, He De, also want to be promoted to an immortal?"

But so to speak... How could King E, who had already been promoted to immortality, die at the hands of King Kui at the back of Xiangji Temple?

Wang Yun couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart. Looking back around, he saw that everyone had such a strange look on their faces, and he knew that they all had the same thoughts as himself. He finally couldn't help it, and shouted at the other side: "You come down! With such a high tower, why bother to lose your life for breaking such a thing?"

"Lord Wang, please don't worry, and don't have to go down to find my body, because I will disappear like King E, leaving no trace..." Before the voice fell, she had already shaken her hand and pointed her finger. The ground said, "King E burned all the things that King Kui gave him, and I also burned all the things I had with him. Everyone, goodbye!"

As the voice fell, she leaned back and jumped into the darkness behind her.

The fire in his hand fell to the ground, and a bunch of things on the ground that had been splashed with oil instantly burst into flames, swallowing the darkness in front of him, and the night sky of dawn was suddenly red.

Wang Yun didn't expect that she would just jump down casually and lightly, and suddenly roared, her eyes were red, and she rushed towards Xiangluan Pavilion.

The guards behind him followed closely. When a group of people came to the place where she jumped after Xiangluan Pavilion, only a pile of debris was burning, and there was silence.

He threw himself on the railing and looked down, only to see the vast green brick floor illuminated below, empty.

He slumped on the railing for a long time, and saw two guards near Longwei Road below, standing straight under the lights, before shouting: "You two, have you seen anyone jumping off?"

The two men looked up and saw him, and immediately shouted: "Thanks to the commander, no!"

"No?!" Wang Yun asked again.

"Yes, not even a brick has come down!"

He turned around blankly, but saw someone standing behind the pillar looking at him in the blue-gray daybreak sky. The man wore black **** clothes with a face like jade, exactly Huang Zixia.

Seeing him turning around and seeing himself, Huang Zixia nodded to him and told him, "The leader of Duocheng cares."

"You... didn't you jump down?" He had a lingering fear, but he was relieved to see her standing in front of him now, and the expression on his face didn't know whether it was surprise or joy.

"Yeah, everything is just a blindfold." Huang Zixia mentioned the half-empty cage and walked back with him. The ministers who had just watched her jump down were astonished when they saw that she walked back with Wang Yun intact.

Li Shubai deliberately ignored Wang Yun beside her, and only said to Huang Zixia: "Explain to the adults how you, or King E, disappeared above Xiangluan Pavilion."

"Yes." Huang Zi Xia saluted all the officials who were watching her curiously, and then said, "Actually, this is just a simple blindfold method. This blindfold method requires three points: First, it must be completed in the dark. Because if it is in the daytime, it will be pierced at a glance, and it will be impossible to play; second, you must burn a fire afterwards to completely destroy the traces, and you will not be found playing tricks; third, what you wear, It must be dark clothes, black is best."

"Daddy Yang, don't sell it anymore, you can tell us quickly!" It was Cui Chunzhan who spoke. He was always impatient and Dali Temple Shaoqing, who was most curious about this matter. One of the people, but I really want to break my head and I can't think of how His Royal Highness King E disappeared."

"Actually, this case is very simple. I wonder if you have noticed that the railings that His Royal Highness E and I chose to climb are different. When we were in Qifeng Pavilion, His Royal Highness E King chose to use the railing on the left side of Xiangluan Pavilion. In this way, for the Qifeng Pavilion on the right, it is the farthest front; and the railing behind Xiangluan Pavilion I climbed is the farthest front for all the adults standing in the Hanyuan Hall. In other words, this method can only be implemented face-to-face, and it must not be viewed from the side." Huang Zixia said, taking out a painting from the cage, and then shaking it away, "Because, this method requires a place to be placed. A painting. The painting is flat, and it looks like on the front, but if you look at it from the side, you can only see a thin piece of paper, and it will be pierced immediately!"

In her hand is a painting with a black background, and the white space on it is exactly the same as the railing, but slightly smaller. She unfolded the small wooden stick after painting, then pulled a folded small wooden frame to hold it down, motioning for everyone to see.

The people standing on the side of the painting showed disapproval expressions, while those on the front of the painting were shocked to find that the black painting merged with the still dim sky, and the white space was in line with the jade railing at the back. Standing on the back of the painting, Huang Zixia on the shelf looks exactly like standing on the railing when viewed from the front.

No one can see that in front of the railing, there is another layer of railings painted on. The seemingly swaying body of her is precisely caused by the instability of the small wooden frame below, but it looks exactly like the state of standing on the railing.

"I think that King E got up at the time and walked towards Xiangluan Pavilion. He arranged the shelves and paintings that were already there, and then attracted everyone's attention. After he angered King Kui, his goal had been achieved, so he jumped back. "Go--" Huang Zixia said, her body leaned back and immediately disappeared behind the painting, "It looks like he fell back down the railing, but in fact, his body is just behind the painting. The ground is safe and sound."

"So, what about these leftovers? When put away, they will definitely attract people's attention!" Cui Chunzhan asked immediately.

"So, we need an excuse, for example-to burn all the things that King Kui gave him before. There is no need to mention the paper. The wood is soaked in oil, so naturally it will catch fire. At this time, His Royal Highness only needs to take off his purple clothes outside and throw it into the fire, and then he can hide in the dark place of Xiangluan Pavilion-because that day, I noticed a very strange thing, then Yes, everyone else’s shirt is almost white, only the shirt of His Royal Highness King E is black. Purple matches black, it looks very dull, and most people don’t match it like this, but he does. Wear it, why?"

"Because... a white shirt, hiding in the dark, will be very conspicuous... purple is a little better, but if he goes out in purple clothes, he will be spotted immediately." Someone guessed with a trembling voice.

"Yes, so he chose to wear a black shirt and hide in the dark. When the first group of guards came over, he could put on the prepared Tsing Yi and mix it in, taking advantage of the chaos to get down to Xiangluan Pavilion, and immediately take advantage of it. Go out of the palace and hide in Xiangji Temple." Huang Zixian discarded the things and said loudly, "So, the so-called corpse and rise to the immortal, the so-called sacrifice for the imperial court, the inside story is like this."

In the dead silence, everyone couldn't help taking a peek at Li Shubai, but no one dared to speak out the speculations in his heart——

What is it for, or who instigated him, to make King E risk such a big risk and pay such a high price to frame his fourth brother?

Does his later death at the back of Xiangji Temple also have such an unfathomable inside story?
