The corner of Feng Ningyan's eyes twitched, she thought to herself, so this woman is not Shen Ling Jue's sweetheart, but her 'master'?

That's right, this woman's appearance is average, the most beautiful man in the Great Yue State, Shen Ling Jue naturally does not like her.

I wonder how 'her master' is as beautiful as a fairy?

Thinking up to here, Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but look at Shen Ling Jue, her eyes were so sharp that it seemed as though she couldn't help but want to dig a piece out of him.

Shen Ling Jue naturally saw that she was extremely jealous, but gave an ambiguous smile. Without explaining, he pulled her hand and led her into the temple door of the city.

Only after entering did Feng Ningyan have the chance to talk to that woman. Only then did she know that her opponent's name was Bai Pi, and that he was here to ask for Shen Ling Jue's help following the orders of her "master".

Feng Ning Yan was a little puzzled. "Why didn't your master write an invitation, and instead asked you to give us a paper crane without any words? "What if the prince doesn't like that fragrance and doesn't chase after you?"

The last time I passed by Hundred Miles Town, I also received a paper crane with the words' Assassins will ambush the escort team at Celestial Wolf Mountain 'written on it. That's why when I saw this piece of paper, I knew that it was a friend and not an enemy.

Feng Ningyan was shocked, "So Miss Bai's master actually told you this news?!"

Bai Pi smiled proudly and said, "That's right. At that time, the prince received a paper crane and was still skeptical of the news. Now, do you believe it?"

Shen Ling Jue nodded his head, "This king bears a deep impression of the messenger. I do not wish to meet him by fate today, so I am finally able to thank him in person."

Even though Feng Ningyan was not in the convoy at the time, without her master telling Shen Ling Jue in advance, he would not have been able to arrange reinforcements to ensure the safety of the convoy and their dowry. Thus, he had always been grateful and curious about who knew the secret behind the crown prince's assassination.

Hearing the words of the two, Feng Ningyan was truly shocked.

"Your master can even receive news about such a secretive thing and its location is so accurate. Could it be that you have spies surrounding the crown prince?"

Bai Dan raised his chin and said with a smile, "This is my secret, I have no comment to make."

Inside the temple, there was a secret passage that led to the back of the mountain.

Walking out of the secret passageway, a surge of cold aura gushed out.

This was a passageway constructed of bluestone, and the degree of wall weathering it proved that it had been here for at least several hundred years.

The tunnel was very long, and there were many stone doors in the middle. The totems on them were very ferocious, as if they were the gods that governed the underworld. It seemed that this was indeed an ancient tomb.

Feng Ning Yan caressed the goosebumps on his arm and asked, "What kind of person is Miss Bai's master? "Why do you live in such a ghastly tomb?"

The lantern in Bai Dan's hand suddenly went out, but lit up again.

She turned her head to look at Feng Ning Yan, feeling slightly displeased. "To an imperial concubine, the place is filled with a ghastly air, but to the Pavilion of Interpretation, this ancient tomb is a peaceful and quiet place. For the pavilion master to invite King Yu's Palace to the Hall of Interpretation, it must be due to her trust and sincerity towards his highness, the wangfei. Do you understand? "

"Speaker Pavilion?" This was the first time Feng Ningyan heard the name of this gang, "So that's how it is. I was reckless, please forgive me Miss Bai."

Only then did Bai Pi turn around and continue to lead the way.

Reaching the end of the tunnel, with a rumbling sound, a Dragon-Breaking Rock weighing several thousand jin slowly moved away, revealing a brilliant golden light through the crack in the door.

Behind the door was a vast and grand hall. The top of the hall was carved with gorgeous carvings, and the floor tiles were covered with lotus flower patterns.

Two rows of sixteen pillars were adorned with glittering totems, the rest of the decorations were comparable to the imperial palace's throne room.

Right in front of the hall was a soaring eagle throne, which was as imposing as a dragon throne.

Dozens of golden candles were placed on the bronze palace lamps, illuminating the entire hall with resplendent splendor.

Feng Ning Yan rubbed her eyes that were stung by the golden light before she finally adapted to the light.

"If it wasn't for Miss Bai leading the way, who would have known that there would be an explanation pavilion in this ancient tomb that knows everything about the world …"

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw that there was a man's portrait hanging on one of the walls of the great hall.

The man in the painting was handsome and elegant. Although his clothes and hairstyle were different and they didn't come from the same painter, the man's appearance was more or less the same. It could even be said that he was a single person.

Feng Ning Yan suddenly turned her head to look at Shen Ling Jue, her eyes almost popping out.

Wasn't the man in the painting none other than this Prince Yu?

Strange, could it be that this Pavilion Master is also Shen Ling Jue's admirer?

Shen Ling Jue hadn't paid attention to the paintings yet, but seeing that there was no one around, he asked Bai Dai, "May I ask where is the pavilion master?"

Bai Dai hung up the lantern and invited the two to sit at a stone table next to them. There was already a tea set on the table.

"Please wait for a moment, I'll go ask Pavilion Master to come out now."

With that, she walked around the eagle seat and entered the back of the hall.

Feng Ning Yan looked at the portraits and felt uncomfortable all over. Seeing that Shen Ling Jue was about to drink his tea, she hastily patted his hands: "Be careful! Going out is not like going to the prince's mansion, let's have a taste of the food and drink first and see if there's any poison. "

As he said this, he took off the silver hairpin and poured the tea on the table. Seeing that it wasn't dark, he placed it in front of Shen Ling Jue and tried out the dessert.

"Alright, you can eat."

Shen Ling despaired of the silver hairpin in her hands. Thinking of the night before his engagement and the scene when he was together with her in her room and the scene when he took her silver hairpin with his mouth, he couldn't help but feel his heart heat up.

He took the hairpin, wiped it clean with a brocade handkerchief, and put it back on her head.

His sudden consideration caused Feng Ning Yan to be slightly startled.

Shen Ling Jue asked, "The jewelry I gave you, you're not willing to wear it, but why is it that this old hairpin never leaves your side?"

Feng Ning Yan's heart ached and she raised her head to look at him, "Because … It was the only piece of jewelry my mother wore on her deathbed. I wore it since I was young, and I could feel a strand of my mother's soul by my side. I also hope that my father will think of my mother and not let other women take their rightful place. "

"When I grew up, everyone said that I looked like my mother, and I also knew that my father cherished my mother. He wore it so that my father could see me as if my mother was still alive …"

Shen Ling Jue was slightly startled. Listening to Feng Ning Yan's words that were as calm as water, one could imagine how much grief and obsession she had hidden within this silver hairpin.

His heart could not help but ache slightly, "I do envy you …" "Mufei left in a hurry, leaving me nothing but a hanging beam of white silk."

When Feng Ning Yan saw the sadness in Shen Ling Jue's eyes that couldn't be wiped away, her heart couldn't help but ache. She unconsciously pressed down on his hand and said:

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. "Imperial Concubine Min left it for you. There's that picturesque prince's mansion, the emperor's precious treasure, and the Thousand Blessings Pavilion …"

When Shen Ling Jue heard this, his brows relaxed. With a gentle smile, he tightened his grip on her hand: "In that case, what mother-in-law left you is not only a silver hairpin, but also me."

Feng Ning Yan didn't understand what he meant at first. She blinked and looked at him, at a loss.

"What?" "My mother doesn't know you …"

Shen Ling Jue smiled lightly, "A silver hairpin matchmaking, making a personal marriage. Doesn't this mean that the spirit of mother-in-law has found a good husband for you?"
