A ray of sunset passed through the dense leaves of the banyan tree and sparsely fell on the flowers and grass on the ground.
The bird on the tree flapped its yellow and black wings. This is a well-known bird called the chaffinch.
The eyes of several chaffinches landed on Su Mu at some point, and after looking at him for a moment, they suddenly flew towards the back of the courtyard.
The door leading into the courtyard opened as if by induction.
Su Mu did not follow the birds out of the courtyard.
At the end of the setting sun, amid the gurgling water, layers of bright mist rise from inside, as if blending with the colors of the flowers and plants on the ground.
Yellow, orange, yellow and green, all kinds of colors began to float, which was dazzling.
Su Mu frowned and covered his mouth and nose.
The colors confused his eyes, and the taste confused his mind.
"Is the palace so weird?"
Su Mu raised his eyebrows lightly, but he didn't think it was a punishment for not seeing the saint for a long time after receiving the order, because if this was the case, the royal family would not need to use such a trick.
"Could it be that this is Fei Yuchen's revenge on those people? In the palace?"
Su Mu guessed that Fei Yu had found the Ghost Temple Palace to assassinate them, and that Zha Banshan was about to fail. This person would naturally be worried that Su Mu had known about his existence. This time Su Mu entered the palace to meet the saint, and he would naturally be worried that Su Mu would tell these things. Your Majesty.
As for Shen Wen, who had tried his best to persuade them not to go into the mountain on Ruoshen Mountain, he knew without guessing that he would be the one who would benefit from it.
However, when Su Mu thought about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate.
The prince knew about the Yanmendao assassination.
Even if you seal his mouth, how can you seal the prince's mouth?
Furthermore, this is the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is one of the most dangerous and safest places in the Kyushu Continent. Not just anyone can set up in a place like this.
Colorful fog is rising.
From the corridor connecting the courtyard, the sound of sparrows could be heard.
Su Mu thought carefully that no one could do such a grand arrangement in the palace except with the permission of the Holy Emperor.
At this time, Su Mu thought of Zhao Zhitang's words.
With permission from the Holy Spirit, the eldest princess summoned you?
What does this woman want to do?
Just at this moment.
In the corridor behind, the voice of the sparrow came again, as if urging him to leave.
So Su Mu blocked his breath and walked out.
This is a long corridor.
I heard from Eunuch Song earlier that this corridor is called Water-Tian Corridor. Behind every door on both sides of the corridor is an excellent scenery.
This water-to-sky corridor was specially built for the eldest princess by the empress on her eighteenth birthday.
Su Mu looked at the chaffinch parked on the beam of the corridor, casually came to a door and pushed it open with all his strength.
Behind the door is an extremely clear pond with extremely rare late spring fish.
The sky and vegetation here also seem to be in late spring, and the colorful mist that spreads into the corridor lingers at the door and never comes in.
Then, Su Mu opened a few more doors.
The scenery rotates between the twenty-four solar terms. The end of the corridor is not an exit, but is similar to a teleportation array. If you walk through it, you will return to the original place.
Obviously, this is a trapped formation.
But it's not just a simple trap. If you stay here for too long, even Su Mu will not be able to completely avoid the colorful mist that affects his mind.
The chaffinch was singing in front of him, as if asking something.
"A bird knows the ambition of a swan, are you asking me?" Su Mu turned his palm over, and the Tasu Immortal Sword fell into his hand.
"I don't understand formations, so the method of breaking them will be more direct,"
Su Mu raised his sword, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid such a beautiful place will suffer some damage."
The sharp sword energy swept out, cutting through the colorful mist lingering around.
at some point.
The Tasu Immortal Sword emits an extremely pale light, and with a crisp sword cry, it speeds towards the end of the corridor.
"A sharp sword," at the end, the Tasu Immortal Sword was caught by a slender white hand, and the movement of holding the sword between the two fingers was very graceful.
Then the sound coming from the colorful mist was like the drizzle falling on a misty day, gently hitting the person's forehead.
Seeing such a scene, Su Mu was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it.
"Shu Mountain Trail Su Mu pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess," Su Mu bowed calmly.
The eldest princess wore a long dress and walked slowly out of the clouds and smoke.
Her steps are light, her temperament is noble, and her glances and smiles all show the upbringing of a royal woman. Perhaps even words like "gold branches and jade leaves" cannot accurately describe her as a lady.
Su Mu couldn't describe it. He could only feel that the woman in front of him had a natural affinity. This natural affinity was not only with him, but more importantly with the surrounding environment.
"I've heard that Sir's sword is really extraordinary,"
The eldest princess held the Tasu Immortal Sword elegantly in her hands, bowed and presented the sword to her.
Su Mu put away the Tasu Immortal Sword.
"I heard that on Ruoshen Mountain, my husband broke through a huge formation with just a wave of his sleeves,"
The eldest princess said softly: "It's not that I'm suspicious, I just wanted to see how good my husband is, so I arranged such an environment on my own initiative. I hope you won't blame me."
She was talking about the Ruoshen Mountain. Su Mu found it very strange, but what was even more strange was why the dignified princess was so respectful to him in her words.
"Meow~"
The smoke gradually dissipated, and suddenly, a cat meowed from the corridor.
Then Su Mu saw a cat as white as a white fox walking over and jumped straight into the eldest princess's arms.
"Her name is Xiao Ming," the eldest princess introduced to Su Mu while stroking the white cat lovingly.
"What a good name," Su Mu praised without any fulcrum.
The eldest princess chuckled twice, but said nothing, "Sir, please come with me."
Su Mu followed the eldest princess to the original courtyard.
The difference is that the big banyan tree has transformed into an ancient pavilion, and tea has been arranged in the pavilion.
The eldest princess elegantly hugged Xiao Ming and sat down, and poured tea for Su Mu herself. "Sir, you saved my brother in Pinghe. My father asked me to think about what kind of reward I should give to you."
"I did not do it alone to help His Highness the Crown Prince," Su Mu always felt that the eldest princess's kindness came out of nowhere, so he dared to accept it.
"Do you want to be an official?" the eldest princess asked, ignoring Su Mu's words.
Su Mu looked at the steaming tea in front of him, feeling slightly surprised and said, "Not interested."
"What if I invite you, sir, to serve as an official in the court?"
Su Mu frowned, looked directly at the eldest princess, and asked, "Why?"
"From Kongkong Mountain to Ruoshen Mountain, there are gentlemen..."
Just at this moment.
There was a knock on the door leading to the courtyard, and then it was pushed open.
It was a female official, and she reported: "Your Highness, the prince is clamoring to see you, and the guards can hardly stop him."
The eldest princess's words just now were interrupted by the female officer. There was not much change on her face, and she stood up gracefully and said, "Excuse me, sir, please wait a moment."
Su Mu picked up the tea cup and tasted the royal tea, "Yes."
The wait was not long, almost not at all.
However, during this short period of time, Su Mu seemed to vaguely hear a cry of death approaching the end of his life.
When the eldest princess opened the door and came in, she had a handkerchief in her hand. She was wiping her palm elegantly, as if there was something dirty on it.
Su Mu could detect it, it was the smell of blood.
"Sir, have you thought about it?" the eldest princess asked softly.
Su Mu watched her put away the handkerchief and gently stroke the white cat, and still said, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
