The person standing outside the door was not a bystander, it was Lu Tianjing, the fifth prince who was sent by the emperor to secretly investigate the robbery of tribute.

"Tianjing, how could it be you?" Lu Tianqi said in surprise.

Lu Tianjing raised his lips and smiled, and put together the landscape painting bamboo heart folding fan with the word 'Huaiya' in his hand, "What, you're not welcome?" ”

"Where, come in and talk." Lu Tianqi welcomed people into the house.

Lu Tianjing and Lu Tianqi are of the same age, they studied together in the Chongwen Hall since childhood, and the emperor often took them with him to teach, and when Lu Tianqi's father Prince Mu was alive and stayed in Beijing, he also taught them martial arts, cavalry archery and various knowledge of the art of war of leading, marching, and arranging troops.

Growing up today, both of them are proficient in riding and shooting, and they are extremely excellent.

The two know each other well, and they are close friends and brothers.

"Completely healed? What interesting things have happened during the time when you have no information? Lu Tianjing picked up the tea soup that Lu Tianqi poured by himself, took a sip, he already knew about the arrest of Prince Jing, and he didn't bother to ask more.

Lu Tianqi shook his head helplessly, "It's hard to say, I've been living in the farm since I was injured and lost my memory, and I lived in a local farmer's house, which was originally a blessed land, but in the end, because of me, the farm suffered a catastrophe." ”

Lu Tianjing's eyes also showed anger, "Prince Jing's move is really hateful, and I was also very shocked and angry when I heard it," Lu Tianjing sighed, "What happened to the farmhouse you borrowed, but there was a harm." ”

Lu Tianjing knew that Lu Tianqi looked indifferent and not easy to get close to on the surface, but in fact he was a person who was extremely grateful for his kindness and wished to repay him with a drop of water, and if something happened to the farmer who took him in, he would blame himself deeply and be unable to let go of it for the rest of his life.

Lu Tianqi blamed himself slightly, "I was almost killed, I rushed to save it, and now except for his eldest son, who was seriously injured and temporarily unconscious, the rest of the people are safe and sound." ”

"That's fine."

Lu Tianjing saw that Lu Tianqi's expression was still solemn, and he was puzzled, "Since the benefactor's family is fine, why are you still worried, do you still have unfulfilled wishes?" ”

Lu Tianqi smiled bitterly, "The Mo family is fine, but a woman taken in by their family is missing, and that woman is the one who really found me injured and brought me back to the Mo family to recuperate." ”

"But send someone to find it." Lu Tianjing's heart jumped.

"It's sent, only life and no one has been seen, and no corpse has been seen in death, it's really like the world has evaporated." Lu Tianqi drank all the tea, if the contents of the cup were wine, how good it would be, he could borrow him to drown his sorrows.

"I think I'm still alive, maybe I have a better place to go, so I don't want to bother you anymore." Lu Tianjing comforted him palely, took the box of tea leaves and put it on the table, "Tianqi, this is the tea given by Ye Linde Sima, the best in Xinyang Maojian, you keep it for the road to drink." ”

Lu Tianqi looked at the five princes in surprise, "You are also a good tea ceremony, it is a waste to quench your thirst on this tea road, we can ask the tea master to make a pot after returning to Beijing." ”

Lu Tianjing opened the folding fan and shook it gently, "My father ordered me to go down to Lianzhou County this time, in addition to finding you, he also asked me to experience the life and suffering of the people in the market. After a pause, Lu Tianjing said solemnly, "Tianqi, if you are physically able, it is best to escort Prince Jing and the tribute back to Beijing tomorrow, my father called me to the study that day, and vaguely mentioned a few words about the tribute." ”

Lu Tianqi put the tea bowl back on the table, "I also have doubts about the tribute, I didn't know what the tribute was at the beginning, but after the prince Jing and the mountain bandits were wiped out this time, I found out that the original tribute was all gold and silver treasures and rare medicinal materials, and it stands to reason that such a small subordinate country should not have such a huge wealth." ”

Lu Tianjing nodded in agreement, "This is the strange thing, what my father said is very vague, but I vaguely guessed that this cart of property is not a tribute to the country, but another source, I don't know the details, and it is impossible for my father to sue me at this time, so Tianqi, it is inevitable that the night will be long and dreamy, and you should try your best to enter Beijing." ”

Lu Tianqi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow, what about you, the emperor wants you to experience the suffering of the people, what are your plans." ”

Lu Tianjing smiled disapprenousively, "I plan to stay in Lianzhou City for a few days, and then follow the official road to Jiangnan East Road, and then go around along the waterway, and it will take more than a month to return to the capital." ”

"The emperor has good intentions in making this arrangement, don't let the emperor down when you go back." Lu Tianqi picked up the box of tea leaves, "I'll bring the tea back first, Ye Linde is really a person who knows what people like." ”

"Don't worry, it's not early, I'll go back first, you rest early, and leave as soon as possible tomorrow."

Lu Tianqi got up to send the five princes.

Lu Tianjing remembered something and looked back and asked, "You don't seem to have a good impression of Ye Linde, how are you going to arrange him this time." ”

"I actually have nothing to do with him, but I just heard the girl who was taken in by the Mo family mentioned Ye Linde's inner house, so his character is not credible, and I don't worry about letting him stay in Lianzhou County and be promoted to prefect. Since the merit must be counted, I will ask the emperor to transfer him to the capital, and as an official in the capital, he can walk on thin ice. ”

"Hahaha," Lu Tianjing said with a smile, "It's not, there are those old guys from the Yushitai staring, no matter how big the official is, he has to clamp his tail, and the court has a strict atmosphere, so you can know that my father is indeed a Ming monarch." ”

Lu Tianjing walked to the door, looked at the big white goose cowering in the corner, and said jokingly, "I thought you would prefer falcons and didn't want you to have this preference, but that goose seems to have a grudge against you." ”

Without waiting for Lu Tianqi to answer, Lu Tianjing left laughing.

Lu Tianqi glared at the big white goose angrily, thinking that he would return to Beijing tomorrow, Lu Tianqi told Chen Feng to prepare, and he wanted to go and talk to the Mo family......

……

Before being outside the prison, Ye Linde was frightened by Lu Tianqi's words, and he was not in the mood to have a very good Xinyang hair, so he only sent it to the five princes, hoping to probe some wind, or get a letter, and didn't want to send it, but the five princes didn't know anything about it, and only said that the emperor had confessed, and the prince of Prince Mu's mansion was fully responsible.

When Ye Linde returned to Sima Mansion, he saw that the Cao family had taken his daughter Ye Ruyi, and was waiting for him outside the study with tea soup, snacks, and supplements.

Although Cao is over 30 years old, he can be properly maintained, his skin is fair without a trace of wrinkles, and his facial features are as beautiful as they were back then.

Ye Ruyi inherited her mother's appearance, awl face, and facial features are also glamorous.

Seeing Ye Linde, the mother and daughter stepped forward, and Cao said gently, "My husband has worked hard in the public office, and the weather is getting hotter, so I went to the kitchen to stew rock sugar bird's nest soup, and my husband can still be appetizing when I taste it." ”

Ye Ruyi was also coquettish in general, "Daddy, my mother has been stuffy in the kitchen all afternoon in order to stew this cup of bird's nest soup, and her hands are almost hot." ”

I thought that Ye Linde would praise and pity them as usual, but I didn't want Ye Linde's face to sink, and he said coldly, "If you have the leisure time to stew bird's nest, why don't you hurry up and find Yaoyao......"
