The night has become deeper.

The elegant piano sound came from the quiet city wall, and the piano sound came from the flower platform in the palace in the imperial city.

The sound of the piano is gurgling and clear, which shows that the piano player must be very high.

Reflecting the moonlight, a beam of black swayed on the ground with a light blue gauze skirt. Chu Qingyan sat on the highest stage and stroked the strings.

This high platform is called Huatai, which is the highest and most visible viewing platform in the Yucheng Palace. I heard that when you climb on this platform in spring, you can bring the colors of the entire Yucheng City into your eyes.

With her eyes closed, what is different from usual is that there is a touch of redness on her lips, and the flame-shaped goose yellow on her forehead looks very eye-catching under the support of her snow-white skin.

After a song, Qingyan stretched out his finger and gently stroked the strings, glanced at the moon outside the city wall.

A black cloud drifted away, and as the moonlight shone again, red blood appeared on the strings of the piano. Chu Qingyan's fingers were injured by a long period of practice. With a drop of blood, a bright red fell on the piano and a blood rose bloomed, which could not be wiped away for a long time.

Bai Qi climbed onto the flower platform, and immediately took out the handkerchief from his waist and ran forward when he saw this scene.

He had long been worn out and could not do anything to Chu Qingyan's piano practice. The songs he played could have become one of the best in the capital, but he still tried his best to practice them.

"Minister... Stop practicing anymore. Can't you continue playing the piano without your fingers?" She wiped Qingyan's hand with pain, and soon the white handkerchief dyed red.

Speaking of which, Chu Qingyan was not keen on playing the piano. Although she had such talent, she never thought about learning piano skills. The reason for doing this was because she wanted to play this song with Shen Muchen at the birthday party in order to get a rightful opportunity to get close contact with him...

"It's not enough." Chu Qingyan withdrew her hand and put it on the strings, "It's not enough!"

She was too crazy and Bai Qi couldn't persuade her.

Something outsiders can understand, but Chu Qingyan can't see through it. From beginning to end, Chu Qingyan never gave up her feelings for Shen Muchen. This belief in persistence in things comes not only from herself, but also from her father.

"Enough!" Just as Chu Qingyan was about to enter the song again, Shen Muchen's voice appeared behind him.

Shin Muchen stared at his eyes and showed a terrible expression, and stood coldly on the highest level of the stairs.

Qingyan turned around and looked at the figure of Min Chen's nearest figure gradually showing a happy expression on his face, "Mu Chen..."

He stared at her hand for a while and then walked straight to Qingyan's side.

She smiled and watched her lover come to her side. What was pitiful was that Chu Qingyan didn't wait for his concerned greetings. What she received was the "clang" sound of Shen Muchen overturning the piano on the table and falling on the stone slab on the ground.

"Your Highness!" Bai Qi was shocked by Shen Muchen's sudden actions.

Bai Yi didn't understand why Shen Muchen wanted to do this. Bai Yi knew that Chu Qingyan only listened to him. Shen Muchen agreed to come, but how could he think of such a thing...

Chu Qingyan knelt forward and hugged Qin with pity. As expected, a dazzling crack appeared on Qin's body. She touched the crack with her fingertips, and tears fell down her cheeks and splashed a trace of tears.

"Do you know... what this piano means to me?" She asked with a trembling voice when she held back to him.

This piano was the first birthday gift that Shen Muchen gave to her on Chu Qingyan's 18th birthday. Chu Qingyan carefully cared for and maintained every day, but in the end she still couldn't resist the ending of being broken by Shen Muchen...

Shen Muchen pulled Chu Qingyan up from the ground, still a hated expression, "Chu Qingyan, I tell you, don't think that using self-harm can make me sympathize with you, don't even think about it!"

After saying this, Shen Muchen threw Chu Qingyan off and turned around to leave. After thinking about it, he added, "I won't give you a chance to play the piano with me on the day of the banquet, and I will clean up the garbage before leaving." After that, he turned around and walked down the flower platform one by one, disappearing into the vast darkness.

Trash, Shen Muchen actually said this is garbage...

Chu Qingyan hugged Canqin in her arms and cried bitterly. Tonight, every word Shen Muchen said to her seemed to tear her heart apart. The scenes of playing with Shen Muchen in the past flashed through her mind in childhood. Now these scenes have become a sadness that is different from the past.

Shen Muchen quickly walked down the steps without any hesitation.

"Your Highness, did you say that just now... be too heavy?" Yandong followed Shen Muchen's footsteps back to Tsinghua Palace.

Just now, Yandong peeked at Shin Muchen's actions clearly on the steps. He could have seen Shin Muchen's love and sweetness, but he didn't want to fight to the point where he actually showed up.

Shen Muchen stopped. At this time, Yandong noticed that his eyes were not much the same as before, erasing the inhuman cruelty and returning to the gentleness he used to be.

Suddenly Yandong realized something, "Is it because Your Highness did this on purpose?"

"Now the emperor is my brother. The three of us have grown up together since childhood, but I see Shen Zitian's affection for Qingyan. On the public, I should not be hang out with the emperor's fiancée, and on the private side, she is the one my brother loves. No matter how hard it is, I will completely eliminate Chu Qingyan's thoughts towards me. I will do this for her good."

"That highness is against the Lord of Qingyan County..."

Yandong asked this, and he quietly noticed Shen Muchen's eyes, calmly like a pool of stagnant water.

"No" his answer was very straightforward, and there was no emotion involved.

The night always passed quickly until the next morning when the people who cleaned the streets concentrated the dead leaves into the bushes beside Qingguan Temple as usual. He kept doing this, which was both troublesome and time-saving. When he came to the gate of Qingguan Temple...

In this way, the birth and death of Qingguan Temple was discovered.

This was the most influential case in Yucheng's history, and soon this incident came into the ears of everyone in the palace.

"What about the results of the person I asked you to check?! Get out!"

Early in the morning, Shen Mu Chen Zhentian's scolding came from Tsinghua Palace.

Shin Muchen is famous for his good temper. His Highness, who treats anyone gently, gets angry on this day. Today, Shin Muchen is as terrible as if he has changed his face.

Many timid slaves retreated outside the palace gate and dared not enter, for fear of accidentally doing something wrong.

On this day, the eunuch of Tsinghua Palace ran in and out just to find out the name of Li Wanli.

"Your Highness, this name was not found." Yandong walked through the messy palace corridor and stepped into the threshold.

"Impossible, she has no family. She can't stay anywhere except the temple."

"But after counting all the corpses, it is indeed... there is no body of Li, Miss Li..."

Speaking of this, Yandong's mind flashed through his eyes, and continued, "By the way, I seemed to have seen Miss Li appear in the market the day before yesterday, at that time..."

Yandong dug out the memories of that day from the depths of his memory again.

"Speak quickly, it's time for what did you see?!" He grabbed Yandong's sleeve, "Speak quickly!"

"A man took Miss Li and seemed to... heading towards the city gate," Yandong recalled.

Man? Li Wanxi said that she didn’t have a father again, so that man was not her father. What is that man’s identity? Why did Wanxi be with him? Where did he take her to...
