For some reason, although Huangfu Lin understood that the fool in Huangfu Yu's mouth was not himself, he still felt harsh when he heard it. He treated his siblings like slaves, and Huang Fu Lin felt that he should have become accustomed to such coldness.

At this time, he had already recovered his pampered and unshocked appearance, "Then Lord Cao didn't buy our account, and the gifts he gave were all returned." ”

Huang Fuyu's face changed, "Why, didn't you tell him that it was the main hall?" ”

"I said it all, and said that the imperial brother knew that Lord Cao loved tea the most, so he specially sent a few catties of good tribute tea, and hinted that he would definitely respond to his needs in the future, but he shirked the unhappiness and retreated." This Lord Cao is the new salt envoy this year, Lord Xu, who was previously re-elected for three years, was removed from his position for the crime of abuse of power, how many people are eyeing this title, but it has been replaced by Cao Xin, who has been unknown, no one knows which force behind this Lord Cao is controlling zhì, there have been many people who have used various means to flatter him, all in vain, and this Lord Cao's style is honest and fair, so that he has not been able to find half a clue until now.

But he has the relationship between the major salt merchants in his hands, and the scope is so wide that many people can't give up this fat sheep, and the people who want to tie him up are still one after another, and Huangfu Yu is one of them.

Huangfu Yu always felt that it was imminent, and he had to expand his power quickly. The salt operation is the largest source of tax revenue in the Lotus Kingdom, and if he can control the economic lifeline of the Lotus Kingdom, it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the Lotus Kingdom, and the major forces in the court will gradually look at him. Moreover, once he can buy this Lord Cao, he will have enough capital to show off his ability to the imperial grandfather.

"Could it be that he is the emperor's man?" Huang Fuyu only felt a little headache, over the years, the Lotus Emperor has not asked about the government, and several forces have formed in the court, he thinks that even if the Lotus Emperor suddenly wants to control the government, he must have that time to choose and control the government, so this Lord Cao is not necessarily the henchman of the Lotus Emperor.

Huang Fuyu didn't know that some forces in this court had actually been controlled by the reclusive Emperor Taishang all along, and they seemed to be hostile, but in fact they were only used to confuse others. On the surface, Emperor Lian didn't ask about the government, but in fact, he secretly cultivated a lot of people, and now he has torn his face with the Emperor Taishang, and these hidden connections have gradually surfaced, and he has begun a big exchange of blood for important ministers in the court.

Thinking of the private seal in his hand, maybe it's time to see its power.

Huang Fu Yu turned around, took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write a letter, avoiding Huang Fu Lin's observation and stamped his private seal at the back, "Send it to Cao Xin, if he has any reaction and action, come back and report immediately." ”

"Yes."

Leaving the room, Huang Fu Lin looked at the envelope in his hand, he had sent so many things before, Cao Xin didn't appreciate it, even if the second emperor brother wrote a letter at this time, what would be the effect? This Cao Xin is really unpredictable, he is one of the few failed bribes of Huangfu Lin, he thinks he is very good at reading people's faces, in order to take down this person for Huangfu Yu, he has tried all kinds of methods, but he still can't figure out the forces behind the other party. The most impressive thing is Cao Xin's smiling face, no matter what the topic is, he can't show his flaws, Huang Fu Lin even thought about the problem that Huang Fu Yu didn't consider, whether this Cao Xin would be the person of the eldest brother.

However, whenever he mentioned the eldest brother, Cao Xin showed a look of disdain and contempt, and he seemed to be very disdainful and hostile to the prince who suddenly appeared in the Lotus Kingdom, like many people in the court who opposed the eldest prince. Could it be that he is really his father's person, so what is the purpose of the emperor's brother writing such a letter?

The emperor returned to his palace, picked up the letter and studied it for a long time. Under the blank envelope, black ink loomed, he picked up the envelope and put it in the sun, but fortunately saw the two words that came out, and his eyes couldn't help flashing.

This handwriting...... It's not Huangfuyu's. Huang Fu Lin immediately thought of something, could it be that Huang Fu Yu imitated his father's handwriting and wrote a letter to Lord Cao? What was he thinking, if he let Lord Cao know and then tell his father, wouldn't he get into trouble? No, Huangfu Yu wouldn't be so stupid, or ......

Huangfu Lin gasped instantly, this letter was handled by himself, if it was revealed at that time, Huangfu Yu could come to that trick and push the boat down the river and shirk the responsibility on himself! So after Huang Furui, he also became a scapegoat!

It's a good way to cross the river and tear down the bridge, which is really Huangfuyu's style. `

Huang Fu snorted coldly, he was not like Huang Fu Rui who could let him knead it, and he was not the only one who would find a scapegoat.

……

Two days later, Feng Ling's palace soon received another piece of good news.

According to the clues provided by Yun Shu, his people have found several areas with similar terrain and existing villages, but they don't dare to come back to report first, Feng Ling can't wait to get out immediately and go to check in person, but now that there are many people in the palace, once he leaves, the people of the Emperor Taishang are likely to notice the clues.

The handsome man's originally ecstatic expression gradually became stern and gloomy, and Lan Yun on the side immediately guessed what he was thinking, "Your Highness, why don't I go and find out the truth in person." "What Feng Ling lacks most at the moment is a trustworthy person to find the whereabouts of the former queen instead of him.

"But it's dangerous." The Emperor Taishang's people are still eyeing each other, and if they are revealed, there is no doubt that the other party will use all kinds of killing moves.

Lan Yun smiled lightly, "It's not like I've fought with those people once or twice, I just happened to be in a panic, and when I met it, I should practice it." ”

Feng Ling thought for a moment, but he also understood that the longer things dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to them. Turning around, he took out a small red box from the dark compartment, "This contains a strand of her silk, if you see someone possible, show her." "This is the silk that Feng Ling found in the secret room of the Marquis of Changding, if it was the former queen, she would definitely recognize it.

Lan Yun carefully put the box away, "Without further ado, I'll go first, I hope there will be good news for you soon!" ”

Leaving such a sentence, the handsome man left Feng Ling's sight with a laugh, at this time, only to hear a sound, a silver light broke through the window, and a dart appeared on the red pillar behind Feng Ling, with a note tied to it. When he opened it, a look of surprise crossed his eyes, "Someone, prepare clothes." ”

At that time, the only brightly lit flower street in Kyoto was still lively.

Pink lamp tent, rouge flowers, there are several women standing in the attic, and a smiling face greets each other, the rich and noble children are merry, no one notices a few figures quickly disappeared into the back of the flower building.

The elegant sound of the piano came, and there was a screen in the private room, behind which several women were playing intoxicating songs.

When the man in the cloak appeared, sat down along the edge of the table, and "poured wine." A gentle voice sounded, and another man stepped out from behind the screen.

Cao Xin respectfully saluted the visitor, and then sat down along the side, "Childe, the little one received something today." He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Ling, "I don't know if this letter is from Gongzi?" ”

Feng Ling opened it and looked at it, the familiar handwriting jumped into his eyes, and a touch of surprise crossed his eyes, but when he saw the last private chapter, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he shook his head.

Cao Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the recent turmoil in the DPRK and China, such a thing has not happened before, fortunately, he kept an eye on it and knew how to ask for instructions in advance.

"I've lost something lately, and I haven't had time to tell you." Feng Ling's fingers lightly swiped the private seal, and Cao Xin understood something, "Then this letter ......"

"Just do as I say, and ask me for advice if there are other arrangements."

What the? Cao Xin looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, but his doubts were only gone in a blink of an eye, and His Majesty ordered that he should listen to the orders of the eldest prince in the future, even if he had doubts, he could not disobey them. "Little one understands."

"Brother Ling, okay?"

"My brother is busy with business and can't come to greet my son, so I thank my son for his greetings."

No one knew that Cao Xin had a younger brother who looked almost the same as him, that is, he was handling affairs in the name of Lord Cao in Mingcheng at the moment, while Cao Xin stayed in Kyoto and waited for arrangements. The letter sent by Huang Fuyu two days ago was in the hands of Cao Xin's brother, and he immediately ordered someone to send it to Kyoto, and Cao Xin confirmed it with Feng Ling. Huangfu Yu had thought that the emperor was far away, even if Cao Xin had doubts, he couldn't confirm it immediately, and he was afraid that the order would be executed for him immediately. I don't think this Cao Xin actually has a doppelganger technique, which is unexpected.

"Good work."

The man slowly stood up, put on his cloak again and turned to leave under Cao Xin's eyes.

……

Candlelight was still lit in the study.

"The guards outside have changed?"

Feng Ling came out of the dark passage, but she was surprised that Xian Yunshu was also here, she was sitting opposite the Lotus Emperor, and there was a chessboard between the two.

The Lotus Emperor avoided Feng Ling's slightly angry gaze and smiled faintly, after that incident, of course he immediately transferred the guards outside and changed his own henchmen to guard. Now that Emperor Lian has ordered someone to secretly open up the secret passage with Feng Ling's palace, the father and son can meet unconsciously and avoid the eyes and ears of the Emperor Taishang.

"The dead of night disturbs people's dreams, isn't my father too idle?" This tone was full of blame, but the Lotus Emperor shrugged his shoulders, "Why, if the father wants to play a game of chess with his daughter-in-law, he has to go through your instructions?" Distressed? That's it, can I return her to you later? ”

Yun Shu listened to the conversation between the father and son, with a faint smile on her face, in fact, she knew that the Lotus Emperor was just too depressed in her heart and wanted to vent by playing chess.

Feng Ling ignored the ridicule of the Lotus Emperor, and went straight to Yun Shu, looking at this elegant little face distressedly, "Next time, if he lets you enter the palace to play chess with him, it's good not to listen." ”
