On August 30th of the third year of Emperor Yincheng, the imperial capital, Tianqi City. The lotus flowers on the pond have all fallen, leaving only black branches tangled on the water surface, and the autumn wind on the lake is bleak.The long step bridge is built with natural wooden boards, leading to the water pavilion in the distance.The young man in Tsing Yi stood alone at the end of the step bridge, holding his sleeves with both hands, bowed slightly, and waited quietly. The sound of horseshoes came from far and near, accompanied by the sound of heavy iron boots.Lei Bicheng, an old man wrapped in a black cloak, gently pulled the rein in front of the step bridge, and the iron-cast steed stood silently in front of the young man, staring straight at the young man with a pair of huge horse eyes without whites , Lei Bicheng is also looking at young people.If someone else was looking at such a black steed and three giant servants in black standing in front of him, he would always feel uneasy, but the young man was unmoved at all, still standing with his hands folded and the corners of his mouth twitching. With a smile.His smile is indifferent and kind, which makes people involuntarily feel close to him, but after watching for a long time, he feels a little numb, because that smile seems to be engraved on the corner of his mouth, and it rarely changes.

"Is it Mr. Lei Bicheng? I have been waiting here all morning following the order of the eldest princess." The young man asked in a clear and gentle voice. A servant stepped forward and knelt under the saddle, and Lei Bicheng stepped on his back to get off the horse: "Is it the eldest princess' envoy? If I guess correctly, it is Mr. Ning Qing?" The young man bowed politely: "Exactly. My surname is Baili, and I have a nickname called Ning Qing, which is also called by the eldest princess and the people around me. If Mr. Lei doesn't see you, you can just call me Ning Qing." ."

"Baili?" Lei Bicheng was a little surprised, "Then what do you call Mr. Young Master and Mr. Baili Changqing?" "It's Ning Qing's father." Ning Qing still smiled. Leibicheng looked around, the water surface was open, and willow trees were planted all over the river bank, which was endless: "This mansion should have been the property of the Baili family and the former residence of the main family of the Baili family. After being imprisoned for the crime, the family property was confiscated, and this mansion was given to Her Royal Highness the Princess as a summer summer residence, right?"

"Exactly. When I was young, I often went boating on the lake with my father. My mother died early, and my father often made origami boats to make river lanterns in order to express his grief. Sometimes we passed on the boat overnight, and dozens of river lanterns floated on the water. ." "Mr. Baili Changqing, a peerless talent and important official of the royal family, was convicted and executed because of the villain's framing. It is already unbelievable. But I didn't expect that Mr. Baili Changqing's only son would end up serving the killer who killed him." Bai." When Lei Bicheng said this, he took a step forward and looked at the young man coldly, with an aggressive aura hidden in his eyes, as if he wanted to force something out of Baili Ningqing's eyes Come.

However, Baili Ningqing retreated slightly following Lei Bicheng's advance. He was like a wicker that was completely powerless, silently defusing Lei Bicheng's aggressive momentum.He still smiled: "Mr. Lei probably blamed me, a useless descendant who failed to fulfill his filial piety and betrayed the family, when he said that? But I am a useless person. I can't live without protection. Thanks to the care of the eldest princess, I can survive, which is like saving the only perfect egg under the catastrophe of the nest. This is a great grace, and Ning Qing has to repay it in this life. Living in this world, you want to see me live a good life, rather than avenge him, right?"

Lei Bicheng froze for a moment, looked at the young man with interest, nodded, and took a half step back: "Okay, you are worthy of being the person next to the eldest princess. Your words are impeccable. But you are not useless Man, among the people I have met, you are the only one who can persist for so long without avoiding my gaze!" When Ning Qing heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed lightly. Lei Bicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him coldly without speaking. "I feel Mr. Lei's hostility." Ning Qing withdrew her hand, still smiling gently, "But I didn't laugh at it as a mockery, but Mr. Lei's peerless figure, but I was accidentally deceived."

"Oh?" Lei Bicheng asked. "I was born blind, my eyes are useless, and I have never seen light. It's just that my ears are so sensitive. I used my hearing to deal with Mr. Lei just now. I also heard that Mr. Lei possesses magical powers, People look at each other like gods, but it's a pity that these things are useless to me, a blind man!" Ning Qing said softly. "Blind man?" Lei Bicheng looked at the other party's clear eyes in amazement, and felt that there was a gentle smile in those eyes, which made people naturally have a good impression of this young man.He watched it for a long time, until he vaguely felt that Baili Ningqing's eyes were indeed empty, as if they were always focused on the empty distance, and then he believed it.
