Two days later, in the evening, on the outskirts of Beijing

On the Luoming River on the outskirts of Beijing, a painting boat slowly rows by, looking low-key and simple on the outside, but extremely luxurious on the inside.

In the cabin, green smoke rises, and the scent of sandalwood drips into the nose.

Full Moon took a deep breath and asked Lin Jian on the other side in a low voice,

"Maybe the token was just hidden by the King of the Western Regions after he found it, and even Er Ruo didn't know it! Don't doubt her just yet. ”

"I'm not suspicious of Herroh and the King of the Western Regions, but of someone else." Lin Jian frowned, the three-day deadline for the King of the Western Regions was only tonight.

In normal times, he naturally had a way to send the king of the Western Regions, but now it was a critical juncture, and there was already a lot of chaos inside and outside Kyoto, so he had to solve this matter by himself.

"The crown prince refers to the people around the crown princess?" The full moon thought of a person, Erruo's nurse.

She seems to have only seen this nurse once or twice, and she only thinks that she is an extremely careful and low-key person, which is a bit like Lin Donghe's style.

"It's her."

Lin Jian nodded, he was indeed referring to Erruo's nurse.

"Before, Erruo came out to find me in a hurry, the nurse was following her, Erruo said that the thing was lost when he just left the prince's mansion, it should be around the prince's mansion, and no guard dared to leave the sachet, besides, it was his mother's relic for Erruo, but it was not a valuable thing for others, I looked for it for two days with such fanfare, and also set up a hanging red, if it is still not found, it is very likely that someone deliberately hid it."

"So you suspect it's a nurse! She made her own decision for her master to turn over in this matter, didn't she? ”

The full moon followed Lin Jian's words.

"So I'm going back to a show tonight!"

As soon as Lin Jian's words came out, the full moon suddenly had a strange feeling.

"I always thought you'd get what you wanted when you went back today, and—"

The full moon stopped at this point.

"Full moon, will you go back with me?" Lin Jian suddenly pleaded with the full moon, and at this moment, it was the most difficult moment for him.

He didn't want to use the full moon to share what he would bear for him, he just wanted to be by his side at this moment, and the person who was with him was her.

"You disguise yourself and pretend to be my guard, and when tonight's matter is settled, I'll send someone to send you back." Lin Jian had never begged her like this, and she could also understand his mood at the moment, the hidden guards and guards who had been carefully trained for many years had lost most of them overnight.

He was also looking for the thriller.

Seeing that the full moon was silent, Lin Jian was embarrassed by her, and smiled unconsciously at herself,

"Full Moon, you don't have to die for me to save Shock, those guards feel guilty, even if it is not Shock, if Lin Donghe wants to make a move, he will definitely be even more vicious than he is now, and a vicious battle is inevitable. If you promise me out of guilt, that's not what I want. ”

Lin Jian comforted the full moon softly, what he said was from his heart. He didn't want Full Moon to feel guilty about him for something that shocked the fox, it really wasn't the result he wanted to see.

There was nothing possible between him and the full moon, and what he hoped now was that she would finally be able to remove all her defenses and disguises, and one day, he would be able to see the original full moon of Linghu.

"It's okay, I'll go back with you. This matter arose because of the shock, even if he is your hidden guard, he is also my own brother, and I have no problem as a sister to deal with the aftermath of my brother. ”

"Full Moon—" Lin Jian tried to stop her.

In fact, he regretted what he said just now, maybe he was too confident in his understanding of her character, once he spoke, she would definitely agree.

"Don't say it, time is pressing, give me a disguise first." Full Moon waved his hand and didn't let him continue.

――

A quarter of an hour later, when Lin Jian entered the cabin and saw the full moon in disguise, his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched obviously.

He had always known about Su Kang's disguise technique, but there was no need to see her disguise like this?

Still sticky beard!

"Your Highness, Su Kang is really a pair of skillful hands, why is he not a woman?" The full moon doesn't matter, if she doesn't stick to her beard, it is easy to see through her original chin that is exposed.

"Let's go."

Lin Jian suppressed the shock in her heart, and then looked at her with an admiring expression.

The boat left the center of the lake and quickly approached the shore.

――

At the same time, Peach Blossom Village

There is only one day left before the deadline for his father's explanation, but he has just found out the clue.

"Lord Wang." At this time, Nian Zheng walked into the simple thatched house and spoke in a deep voice, but the expression on his face was a little hesitant.

"What's the matter, say!" Lin Dongyao raised his eyebrows, but he chuckled in his heart, could it be that something happened to the palace?

"The princess hasn't returned home tonight, and the guards who secretly protect the princess saw the princess get on the prince's boat, but when the boat docked, she didn't see the princess get off the boat, and the guards went to see that the boat was empty."

The year is truthful and does not dare to hide it.

Although at this juncture, the prince can't be distracted by anything.

But the princess's affairs are indeed more important than anything else.

Lin Dongyao's face was cold, but the next moment he said coldly, "It's a disguise technique, Lin Jian has a Su Kang under him, have you forgotten?" ”

Su Kang's disguise technique is also one of the best in Kyoto, which is why he can stay with the prince, and he can become the prince's stand-in at any time.

"Follow this king to the back mountain of the village to have a look."

Lin Dongyao suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered in a deep voice.

Nian Zheng didn't dare to delay and immediately followed.

But now who can't see how terrible the flames of anger and jealousy that the prince exudes after learning that the princess and the prince have met!

――

In the mountains behind Peach Blossom Village, Lin Dongyao has been here countless times in the past few days.

He has already investigated the source of the infection, but in the end, it is only the last step to find out.

"New Year's Politics! Check it out there! ”

Lin Dongyao suddenly pointed to the tallest tree on the top of the mountain.

In fact, this back mountain is just a small hill of less than 100 meters, but the vegetation on the mountain is dense, especially at the top of the mountain, which is lush and green.

"Lord Wang, what did you find?" Nian Zheng saw Lin Dongyao staring at a tree on the top of the mountain, and unconsciously followed his line of sight.

A tree on the top of the hill looks like a welcoming pine, standing straight on the edge of the cliff.

"This tree was not planted on the mountain, the original one on the mountain has been secretly removed. Tell me that no one should approach the tree! ”

Lin Dongyao's voice fell, and Nian Zheng immediately ordered to go down.

On the way back, Nian Zheng couldn't help but ask him,

"Lord Wang, what's the mystery of that tree?"

"We have found out that the plague was caused by carrier pigeons, and most of the villagers in Peach Blossom Village raise carrier pigeons, so the trees on the mountain have many carrier pigeon feathers, and the tree on the top of the mountain is no exception, but because the tree is planted later, although it also has feathers on the trunk, but after these days of wind and sun, even the compacted soil will show a different color from other soil around, and because it is on the edge of the cliff, it did not rain a while ago, and the soil on the cliff should be drier, but because it was planted later, The dry soil that had been forcibly sticking to it fell off, revealing the still wet dirt inside.

The tree must have had the carcasses of rotting pigeons, which then infected all the pigeons, and then transmitted them to the villagers through the guò pigeons. ”

Lin Dongyao's analysis made Nian Zheng stunned.

It turned out to be the completion of the replanting of the tree?

"Then why don't you hang the carcass of a rotting carrier pigeon on the original tree?" Nian Zheng said in confusion.

"I don't know if this plague is caused by the rotting corpses of animals, and some people are secretly poisoning, this poison comes from the trunk of the tree, the surface of the trunk looks no different from other vegetation, but in a few months, the venom in the trunk will seep out, and then we will know!"

Lin Dongyao's tone was indescribably cold.

Lin Donghe did such a heartbreaking thing for his own selfish desires!

This time, even if Lin Donghe is his brother, he will not be merciful!

――

At night, the Prince's Mansion

In the backyard hall of the prince's mansion, the nurse knelt on the ground expressionlessly, and as soon as the prince came back, he said that he had lost something in the backyard, but in the end he found it in her room, which was obviously framed.

The nurse didn't speak, just knelt straight there.

Lin Jian is not in a hurry, this play is now in the last step.

He drank tea slowly, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiling gently, as if no one was kneeling in front of him now.

The full moon stood behind him, and her eyes fell quietly on the nurse.

If it were an ordinary minion, he would have shouted injustice by now, or he would have to tremble with fear. Erruo's nurse was unusually calm.

Maybe Erruo is honest for a while, it's all her idea.

"Your Highness! The nurse has been with me for many years, and she has always been in good faith and abiding by her duties, and the nurse really won't steal anything, please let His Royal Highness know! ”

Er Ruo also knelt down, looking aggrieved and nervous.

Er Ruo, who is now in front of everyone, is no longer the lively and active princess of the Western Regions in the past, and she is alive and well as an angry little daughter-in-law.

"Crown Princess, you calm down first! Whether she did it or not, you can't look at how it was before, as far as this matter is concerned, he did it wrong. ”

Lin Jian opened her mouth unhurriedly, and the eyes that looked at Er Ruo were gentle and soft that she had never seen before.

Keruo's heart never dared to get close to him anymore, and he couldn't do it.

As early as the moment he hugged Linghu Manyue to comfort her, she was already disheartened.

"Your Royal Highness, the nurse is the closest person to Erruo, if there is anything wrong with the nurse before or offends His Highness, please give Er Ruo a chance, give the nurse a chance! You really can't lose the nurse! If you don't want anything else now, you don't want to get the exclusive favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, you just want to have a nurse by your side to talk and relieve your boredom, Your Highness - don't-"

If you shed tears as she spoke, what was staged in front of her was indeed a picture of the deep love between master and servant.

But how much of it is true and how much of it is false is open to debate.
