Zhu Di's move means killing two birds with one stone. First of all, of course, the lord of Yongping County should protect the fetus, don't commit suicide at every turn, and hurt the imperial heir, otherwise someone will be watching day and night, and sooner or later something will happen.

Second, Zhu Di is unwilling to just take care of these trivial matters of the emperor's heirs, if Yao Miaoyi pretends to be a rebel of the Demon Sect and gains the trust of the county lord of Yongping, maybe he can really pass this move to check whether Zhang Shicheng's old department has the intention of rebellion, and when the time comes, it will be another great achievement in front of his father.

This serial plan to kill two birds with one stone was thought of by Zhu Di when he was in a coma when the lord of Yongping County cut his veins and lost blood, and Yao Miaoyi couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing Zhu Di's plan: Fortunately, it was not Zhu Di who was responsible for arresting our Mingjiao secret party! Otherwise we would have been exposed long ago! You have to inform the members of the Mingjiao as soon as possible, you can't provoke Zhu Di by provoking anyone, if you are targeted by him, the end of the Mingjiao will come.

Zhu Di has seen Yao Miaoyi's ability to adapt to improvisation, coupled with her identity as a medical woman, she is the most suitable person to pretend to be the Ming Sect and approach the county lord of Yongping.

In fact, this strategy also helped Yao Miaoyi, and from then on she had an excuse to get close to the county lord of Yongping, and she was able to gain her trust and come up with some words to investigate the case of her grandfather's injustice.

So when Zhu Di said the mention of yì, Yao Miaoyi readily agreed, "The grass people must fully cooperate, and try to pretend that they are the Demon Sect - no, they are members of the Ming Sect, please tell me the general outline of the Ming Sect back then, and the grass people have a bottom in their hearts, don't be seen through by the county lord of Yongping." ”

When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.

Yao Miaoyi is a half-truth, with private goods, in front of the county lord of Yongping, revealing the identity of the Mingjiao secret party, stimulating the county lord's desire to survive and fighting spirit.

The oars cut through the icy water of the lake and headed towards the shore like an arrow, the sound of the oars in winter was jerky, and there was silence in the narrow canopy boat.

Yao Miaoyi, who had not slept all night, leaned on the cabin and closed her eyes to recuperate, seemingly as if she was asleep, but in fact she tried her best to stay awake, she was on the same boat with Zhu Di, she didn't dare to sleep, what if she dreamed and talked in her dreams, and Zhu Di heard that something was wrong?

Zhu Di is thoughtful, scheming, and suspicious, Yao Miaoyi doesn't dare to be careless.

Zhu Di silently looked at Yao Miaoyi's "sleeping face" and remembered the scene of the close hug behind the screen last night.

Later, Ma Sanbao explained to her the reason why she suddenly lost control of her love and cried, he was in a very complicated mood, he had sympathy, respect, and even admiration for Yao Miaoyi.

But at the moment when the four eyes were relative to each other when hugging, Zhu Di knew very well that the love at that time was definitely not these three, it was a kind of love mixed together with the fiery chili pepper, the crispy numb of Sichuan pepper, the sweetness of rock sugar, the sourness of aged vinegar, the intoxication of fine wine, and so on.

This kind of love is very beautiful, and the beauty makes him a little scared. Even in the face of thousands of troops, he was not afraid, but thinking about the strange beauty last night, he actually had the intention of escaping!

Ma Sanbao didn't know his master's thoughts, but in his opinion, at this moment, Zhu Di was staring at Yao Miaoyi with both eyes, and his eyes were straight!

Ma Sanbao is a eunuch, but it does not prevent him from understanding the love between men and women without a teacher. If something shouldn't happen, it's best to nip it in the bud!

So Ma Sanbao coughed, broke the increasingly strange silence in the window cabin, and began to have nothing to say, "Doctor Yao, I can't figure it out a little, why does the county lord of Yongping believe your words so easily?" ”

Yao Miaoyi closed her eyes and said, "Is it easy?" In order to gain the trust of the county lord, I took a lot of words. Since it's so easy, why don't you try to be a demon sect rebel, I'm too lazy to come to the small building in the middle of the lake several times a month to give the county lord a safe birth and peace of mind. ”

Hehe, Ma Sanbao smiled dryly: "I can't do it, only Dr. Yao has the ability to pretend." ”

Yao Miaoyi opened her eyes, her gaze was calm, like a winter lake, and said: "In fact, sometimes people can paralyze the pain and continue to live as long as they have an ethereal hope. Is the Lord of Yongping really convinced by me? No, it's not, in the final analysis, it's still her inner desire to survive more than to die, otherwise I would have worn out my mouth, and she would have died. ”

Ma Sanbao was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, do you mean that the county lord of Yongping doesn't believe that you are a Mingjiao?" ”

Yao Miaoyi said: "At that time, she was the most vulnerable time in her life, and my Mingjiao identity was the last straw for her, and she instinctively grasped it and found a hope for herself to live." However, although a woman is weak, a mother is strong. She will definitely find all kinds of ways to test me in the future to see if I can be trusted. ”

"But that's all for later, at least we can be sure that she won't look for death anymore, just give birth to the emperor's heir, the mother and son are safe, and even if the task of the Fourth Highness is completed, it can be handed over."

Ma Sanbao, who said this, nodded frequently, but Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Doctor Yao, you seem to have a deep understanding of the feelings of the county lord of Yongping, have you ever experienced similar despair?" ”

Yes, of course!

The grandfather was wronged and beheaded all over the house; The biological mother was assassinated, and the jade died fragrantly.

I experienced this miserable, hopeless hopeless despair of the future, when I was seven years old.

Yao Miaoyi held her forehead with her right hand, rubbed her temples, and said: "Yes, for example, when I was a military doctor, I saw that the wounded soldiers who I had finally rescued from the battlefield were covered with shrouds one by one and carried out to bury them due to lack of medical treatment, or the wounds were rotten, and they had to be cut off and amputated, and they ended up disabled for life. At that time, I thought, what's the use of saving people? In the end, they are going to die, and they are dying so painfully. ”

Yao Miaoyi sighed: "In fact, many times, dying with hope is more painful than dying with despair, I gave them hope, but I watched the hope shattered. ”

Ma Sanbao was silent for a long time, and then said: "Doctor Yao, you used to be fierce when I saw you in the barracks, they were all afraid of you, and they called Yao Butcher behind their backs, but I didn't expect you to have a compassionate heart." ”

"A bunch of heartless things." Yao Miaoyi scolded with a smile: "Actually, I tried my best to save everyone, but fortunately, I don't have to be a military doctor in the future, it's really thankless." ”

Zhu Di looked at Yao Miaoyi, who was happy in suffering, and then recalled her sad tears when she missed her family that night, and asked, "Miaoyi, what memories do you still have from your childhood?" I can help you look up your background, and maybe you can find your parents' family. ”

Yao Miaoyi shook her head, "I can't remember, maybe God destined me to change my name and surname in this life and become a member of the Yao family." ”

At this time, the ship had already docked, Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao returned to the palace to resume their lives, and Yao Miaoyi borrowed a horse from the guard's mansion and galloped towards the second brocade square in the south of the city.

The weather was cold, and the cold wind mixed with fine snow killed Yao Miaoyi recklessly, but they were all stopped outside by the bear skin given by Zhu Di. Zhu Di sat in the carriage, watched Yao Miaoyi's figure disappear into the snowy street through the window, and asked, "Sanbao, do you think Miaoyi is very familiar?" I always felt that I had seen a face similar to her before, could that person be her parents? ”

Ma Sanbao shook his head firmly, "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't have any impression at all." But—"

Ma Sanbao hesitated for a moment and said, "If the slave maid says a word of arrogance, Your Highness Don't blame me for being whimsical." ”

"Say." Zhu Di said.

Ma Sanbao said: "The slave maid thinks that Dr. Yao is wearing men's clothes, why does he look a little similar to His Royal Highness's cousin." ”

Zhu Di: "Zhu Shouqian? ”

Zhu Di has only one cousin, named Zhu Shouqian, whose parents died when he was young, and has been raised under the knees of Queen Ma, living in the harem with the princes. Zhu Shouqian's father is called Zhu Wenzheng, and his mother Xie is the eldest daughter of Xie Zaixing, the general who betrayed Zhu Yuanzhang back then!

Zhu Di's pupils shrank suddenly, and he muttered: "Xie Zaixing has no children, only two daughters, the eldest daughter is married to my cousin, and the second daughter Xiao Xie is married to Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, but ten years ago, Xiao Xie was assassinated, and there was no news of his daughter Xu Feng——"

"That's right!" Ma Sanbao rubbed his hands excitedly, "Hu Shanwei, the female official of the palace food bureau, is Dr. Yao's Suzhou neighbor, and has a good relationship with the slave maid, Hu Shanwei once said that Dr. Yao was probably carried to the Yao family by Daoyan Zen Master ten years ago, and the time just happened to be right, Fourth Highness, the slave and maid rode a horse to chase Dr. Yao, and sued her-"

"Don't rush." Zhu Di raised his hand, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, after all, the missing Xu Feng is the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and it also involves the Xie family's rebellion back then, and there are ......"

Zhu Di paused, frowned, the two daughters of the Xie family, the Xie family, were known as Wuzhong Shuangbi, but they were all famous, and tragedies were frequent:

father Xie Zaixing rebelled, and his mother's Xie family was beheaded; Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xie was assassinated, and Xu Feng disappeared; Then there is the husband of the Da Xie family, that is, the emperor's uncle Zhu Wenzheng, who suddenly broke out to rebel, and it is said that he also imitated his father-in-law Xie Zaixing and took refuge in Zhang Shicheng!

At that time, my father was furious and was going to behead the emperor's uncle, but Queen Ma tried her best to intercede, saying that you only have such a nephew, and when there was a famine in Fengyang, the last bite of food left by the eldest brother was all left for your younger brother...... If Zhu Wenzheng dies, you will feel guilty for life!

Only Empress Ma can appease her father. His father listened to the advice, dismissed Zhu Wenzheng from office, and placed him under house arrest in the palace. Zhu Wenzheng lingered on the sickbed and died of illness within a few years, and his wife Da Xie also died of illness under the heavy blow of losing her father, sister and husband.

Only the childish Zhu Shouqian was left. Queen Ma took him into the palace, as a parent-child upbringing, caring and caring, the father was also good to this only nephew, ordered him to go to the main hall to study with the princes, and sometimes he also heard that he was ordered to teach in person.

Xie Zaixing and his son-in-law Zhu Wenzheng rebelled one after another and took refuge in Zhang Shicheng. So my father still hates the Xie family, if Yao Miaoyi is really the missing Xu Feng, then what is my father's attitude towards the only granddaughter of the Xie family?

How to make the father and emperor tolerate the existence of the Xie family's granddaughter Miaoyi like Zhu Shouqian, the grandson of the Xie family?

Zhu Di fell into deep thought, the carriage entered the palace from the Xi'an Gate, Zhu Di first went to Emperor Hongwu to report to Emperor Hongwu about the county lord of Yongping in the middle of the lake, and then went to Kunning Palace to talk to Queen Ma, and directly told his guess about Yao Miaoyi's identity.

Zhu Di understands that only Queen Ma can make her father let go of her prejudice against the Xie family and accept Miaoyi's recognition of her ancestors and return to her ancestors.

Unexpectedly, Queen Ma was not surprised, and said lightly: "I have already ordered someone to secretly investigate this matter, Huang Yan, call Li Taoniang to come and talk back." ”
