"No, uncle... The trustee brought the letter back. ”

Yan Rubing stretched out his hand and slowly took the envelope.

It was as if he had swallowed a thousand needles in his heart, his eyes turned red instantly, and he took the letter and muttered to himself: "Now there is nothing, there is nothing." Yulang didn't even want to see me, and even the letter of resignation was only brought by someone. ”

"Ma'am?"

Looking at Yan Rubing, who held the letter in her arms and was discouraged, the little girl's back was a little cold.

Ahh

The sad back suddenly screamed, startling the little maid.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Yan Rubing put away the letter, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and said, "It's okay, go and invite my mother." ”

"Yes, yes, slave, go at once."

After half a burnt incense, Aunt Xu hurried over, looking at her daughter who was grooming in front of the mirror, and for some reason felt strange and terrifying.

"Rubing, you called your mother, did something happen?" Aunt Xu swept the envelope on the dressing table and took a breath on the spot. "Could it be that my son-in-law sent a letter back?"

Yan Rubing turned around, her makeup and hair were as usual, her posture was dignified, and the abnormality of the past few days was like an illusion.

It's as if nothing had happened.

I saw that the delicate red lips spoke:

"Mother, Yulang said that the Holy Decree asked him to go and assist the Nine Princes in dealing with the plague in Liqian City, so he can't come back for the time being."

"This, that's it, it's great not to come back for the time being." Aunt Xu followed her words and approached her.

"Mother, did you really poison Qiujing?"

Aunt Xu picked up the comb and looked at Rubing in the mirror, as if looking at her young self, her expression was gentle, but she was saying terrible words in her mouth.

"Mother's good daughter, when did you care about a subordinate."

"Daughter, isn't this looking for a scapegoat for my mother, Qiujing can't open her mouth now, it's just right."

"Really?!" Aunt Xu hugged Yan Rubing in surprise, just like hugging her young self. "However, with just a maid, will this matter be difficult to fool."

"Mother, don't worry, when the time comes, you will say that everything is instructed by the Yan family's daughter, you don't know it, the sins committed by your mother are all slander, just make up words. Those who have received money from you, will they still be able to beat their mouths? If you go to court, they will be people. ”

"Rubing, you are still smart, you really deserve to be my precious daughter." Aunt Xu picked up the blood jade hairpin and stuck it in the ice-like bun.

In front of him, the sword blade was about to be scratched with blood marks on Shun Hua's neck, and Fu Mujian's hand hidden behind him was backhanded with five poisonous needles, ready to attack.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the Nine Princes and Shun Hua, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

"Lord Wang, if the grass people can help you solve the three puzzles, can you spare the grass people for the crime of deception."

"When death is on the verge of death, do you still want to negotiate terms with this king?"

"There's no way, grass people are businessmen, what are you talking about if you don't talk about business?"

After thinking about it, if the real culprit cannot be found after ten days, he will personally fight Fu Mujian and Yan Shunhua's fifty military sticks, just at this time to explore the truth and truth, is it friend or foe, is it intellectual or retarded? !

"Okay, but do you know the confusion of this king?" The Ninth Prince took the long sword back into the scabbard of Vice General Lin and sat back on the throne.

Shunhua was relieved, and Fu Mujin unknowingly put away the poisonous needle.

"The grass people dared to guess that the prince had three puzzles, one of which was why a large number of soldiers were infected with the plague today? It's just today, secondly, why did the villagers who had recovered more than half of them suddenly relapse from their old diseases, and thirdly, who are the grass people? ”

The eyes of the Nine Princes sank, although these three puzzles were not what he was eager to know, but they were indeed the confusion in his heart, and this person's mind was indeed delicate.

"Tell me about it."

"The grass people start with the third puzzle, the grass people are Yan Shun..."

"It's a dog thing with the surname Yan again!" The Nine Princes gritted his teeth and said.

Eh, how is the surname Yan a dog?

You're still not letting people talk.

Could it be that he is another person who has had a holiday with his past?

"Yan Hua!"

"Which Yan?" When the ninth prince thought of his thirteenth brother, he hated the surname Yan to the core.

"The color of the face..."Shun Hua said, looking at the face of the Nine Princes, it was as black as charcoal, no, no, no." Words of words..."

The face of the Nine Princes returned to normal. "Go on."

"Okay."

Yan Shunhua wanted to reach out and wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, but she was forced to change her surname.

"I am a native of Liqiancheng, and later moved to the main city. Recently, I came back to pay homage to my mother, but the lord of the city ordered that the people should not be allowed to leave the city, so I accidentally ran into His Highness at the gate of the city. Shunhua scratched his neck weakly.

"So, both parents died, and I once met someone from Qujia Village, is it really a fact?" The Nine Princes asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely."

The Nine Princes suddenly slapped vigorously and shouted angrily: "Bold! Since the city lord has already ordered the closure of the city, he still dares to move around! ”

"The grass people have long known about this disease, and they understand that this plague is all imported from the mouth due to illness, and the Qu family that the grass people met is in Luoshui City, not in Liqian City."

She glanced at it with contempt, the Ninth Prince.

On the contrary, it was him, who didn't know it, and dared to go around in and out of the city, hum.

"If you already know the pathology, why don't you say it?!"

"Grass people, who do you want to talk to? And the Li County official who wants to set fire to the village, or with the prince who kills you at every turn? Shunhua smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Presumptuous! Is this the attitude of talking to the prince? "Vice General Lin has long seen Shunhua unpleasantly, so it's better to take this opportunity." Lord Wang, it's better to let your subordinates teach him a lesson for you. ”

"Forget it, let's go on!"

Vice General Lin looked at the Nine Princes in surprise, and his eyes showed a bit of appreciation.

"The second puzzle is, why do villagers who are about to recover have a recurrence of their old diseases? Just now, the grass people were tied up nearby, and they found some pits in the horse manure. ”

"Pits? What does this have to do with the plague in soldiers? ”

"Absolutely! When the grass people entered the village, they found that the pear trees at the entrance of the village were almost plucked, which means that someone has eaten pears, but there is a plague outbreak in Qujia Village, and of course you must wash the fruit first. ”

The scholar Yidao immediately understood, "So, they washed the fruit with the water of the moat!" ”

"That's right." Shunhua nodded.

"That's how the soldiers contracted the plague?" The Nine Princes asked.

"Not all, the soldiers of the Nine Princes are very kind, even if they pick fruits, they let the patients eat them first."

"And how did they get infected?"

Shun Hua paused, lowered his posture, and asked, "If the grass people tell the prince, can the prince not punish them?" ”

Penalize? Have they done what the king will punish? The Ninth Prince frowned.

Seeing that the prince was a little hesitant, she added again and again: "Your Highness, the soldiers you brought are either infected with the plague or have to take care of the plague patients. Anyway, if it were me, I might not be so loyal to His Highness. ”

Vice General Lin looked at the expression of the Nine Princes and thought that he was broken.

The prince is going to kill someone.
