"Hmm."

Nan Su got up, came to the round table and poured two cups of tea. The young man sat up from the bed, but his head was still a little dizzy.

Lu Weizhen knocked on the door and called softly.

"Auntie."

Nan Su paused and went to open the door. The man in white was waiting outside, with a gentle and elegant posture.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feeling better?"

"Come in and talk about it."

"Hmm."

The two entered the house and closed the door.

Zhou Zhifu had already gotten out of bed and propped up the window with a pole. Looking at the scenery outside Shengjing from top to bottom, the sky is about to break and the morning breeze is blowing.

The faintly extinguished candle flame reflected the young man's jade-like face, handsome and elegant.

"Your Highness."

Lu Weizhen waved his armrest.

He turned, his face smiling, his voice warm and light.

"Fusu doesn't have to be polite."

Lu Weizhen did not give in, took the tea poured by Nanxu, and sat down.

Nan Xu thought of the fact that he was almost abducted to Yuerenlou this time, and couldn't help but say.

"Aver, you're too nonsense. For something, he came to Beixiang alone. ”

"You know, you are the East Palace. Only those princes and princes in Dongyang have bad intentions. All staring at the movement, trying to pull you down. ”

"The Queen Mother."

Zhou Zhifu said gently.

"Isn't the child all right?"

When Nan Su heard him say this, he was even more calculating.

"What if I hadn't met Zhuzhu'er this time?"

"I have a way to get out, too."

"Queen Mother, I came to Beixiang for the people of Dongyang."

He changed the subject, went to the table, picked up another cup of tea, and stood by the window.

However, there is something strange about it. I hid it from everyone, and I didn't even tell the inner servant, and the news that came out of the teaching people was also to go to Xiliang to study. He also deliberately went around half a circle to travel the waterway, but he was still ambushed in Beixiang. ”

"And those who ambushed me are not from Dongyang. It was as if they had received news in advance and were waiting for me somewhere. ”

Zhou Zhifu looked at the tea cup in his palm, the white porcelain cup exuded a faint glaze, and it was soft and cold.

"This person either knows me too well, or he is involved in the man-made natural disasters in Dongyang."

Nan Su asked, shaking her fan.

"Acts of God?"

"Well, it was the locust plague in Qingzhou that was born in the first place."

"The difference with this locust plague is that the locusts of the past are not poisonous. The people can use locusts in their dishes, fry, stir-fry, roast, and steam...... Yes, and this time the locusts are poisonous. ”

"It's so toxic that in addition to harming people, it is useless to release insectivorous birds."

"Then they can only be lured by a bonfire and burned."

He paused slightly, drank the tea in his cup as if he were drinking, and continued.

"This fire burned directly up the mountain. Spread to large woodlands, grasslands, crops. ”

"When I arrived in Qingzhou, the officials in charge of driving the locusts had already taken matters into account. There is no way, the safety of the people is the most important, so we can only bring water from the spiritual canal to extinguish the fire. ”

"As soon as the fire in Qingzhou was almost extinguished, the Lingqu was opened, and it caught up with the autumn flood again. Many states along the route have suffered varying degrees of flooding. ”

"This year's harvest is too poor, the people are complaining, and the people of Dongyang are panicking for a while. Rice shops and grain stores everywhere were all sold out in a short period of time. ”

"The price of rice has been rising all the way to the price of meat, and I am afraid that there will be a real famine, and I want to reassure the people. So he wrote to his father to open a warehouse to help with grain, but his father refused. ”

Zhou Duci only told him one sentence.

"If you do that, you're going to make it real."

"I vaguely understand what my father meant. This locust plague, the flood, was controlled by someone behind the scenes. Step by step, guide us to enter the game according to his ideas, if we really open a position to help the grain next, we will really fall into the trap. ”

Lu Weizhen gently tapped the edge of the table with his hand and looked at the young man.

"Therefore, His Highness's trip to Beixiang is to find out who is behind the scenes."

"Then you shouldn't put yourself in danger, it's good to help the common people, and you have to take care of yourself."

"The queen mother can rest assured that the child is not unprepared."

He played with the white porcelain cup, and between his fingers, the remaining tea in the cup dripped on his white fingertips.

Facing the morning light, it seems to be dyed with a layer of transparent luster, like pearl rain and dew.

"Before I came, I informed Wuwu and Fusu in advance. Otherwise, the queen mother thought that Fusu had sent Dongyang to Dongyang before, what was it for. ”

"I'm here, one is to borrow grain, the second is to find out the people behind the scenes, and the third is to welcome back to China without worry, and I am the secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

Nan Su shook his head.

"Don't worry about him, he has no intention of being an official. What's more, since the accident in Baili's house. He made an oath that he would not step in Dongyang in this life. ”

"Queen Mother, if the mastermind behind this time, he has something to do with the exile of the Baili family."

"Aver!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it yet."

His face was still the same, like a pale ink painting, and he continued to talk about what he had just done.

"I think what he will do next if he opens a warehouse to help him. Is it to release the public opinion that has been prepared, to sit on the ground, and sell the grain prepared in advance, so as to make a big profit, or something else? ”

Lu Weizhen also stared at it.

"Other?"

"Trouble leads to the east and stirs up strife. Heaven is angry and resentful, the Son of Heaven is untrustworthy, internal strife and external strife. ”

Lu Weizhen asked gently.

"Then Your Highness, do you have a clue now?"

"The situation is deadlocked, and now there is less and less rice grain in Dongyang City. I sent people to set up shops everywhere, just waiting for an opportunity. When the people behind the scenes can't hold back, they will be the first to sell, and they will be able to follow the vine. ”

"But the patience of the people behind the scenes is surprisingly good. On the contrary, in Dongyang, with the high price of rice all the way, it is becoming more and more difficult to buy japonica rice, and the people are becoming more and more panicked. ”

Speaking of which, the youth stopped slightly. Lu Weizhen understood and took his words.

"Therefore, His Highness is deliberately revealing flaws. In the name of visiting Xiliang for a study tour, give that person the opportunity to do something in Dongyang. ”

Zhou Zhifu smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgement.

Nan Xu thought about it and looked at him with some concern.

"Aver, your actual whereabouts. After this ambush, it may have been exposed. ”

"Now, I have to ask the Fu family."

"Huh? Didn't they capture Yuerenlou after you escaped? ”

He shook his head.

"They have my portrait in their hands."

Nan Xu hadn't figured it out yet, and felt that the two people in front of him were playing dumb riddles with singing and harmonizing. I could only follow what my son said and continue to ask.

"The forces of the Fu family and Dongyang are colluding?"

"Afu, in this case, they will tell the person directly that they have seen you."

Zhou Zhifu shook his head.

"No, Fu Xingxuan is on my hands."

"What?"

"Thank you Fusu for this."

"Hmm. The assassins at the Jiaowei Feast, in addition to getting things, also attacked the West for the sake of sound. ”

"Then where is Fu Xingxuan now?"

Lu Weizhen got up and made a gesture to the south.

"My subordinate told me that he was already in my house. There are many people in Zuiyue Building, and it is inconvenient to act. First, I came to say goodbye to my aunt, and second, to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the house. ”

"You're a big kid. If you don't tell me anything in advance, are you afraid that something bad will happen to me? ”

Nan Su was unhappy, Lu Weizhen said.

"I didn't let His Highness tell my aunt, I'm afraid that if you know, it will become their bargaining chip, so as to blackmail Your Highness."

There are only two things that can blackmail Zhou Zhifu, one is the people of Limin, and the other is Nanxu. Both are what he must protect, which is the meaning of his life.

"Draw a sword for the people of the world."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unparalleled, and he set such an ambition when he was a teenager, and he will not change it in this life.

"Since you've both discussed it, why don't you go quickly, don't get in my way here."

Where is there a mother who dislikes her child, not to mention that these two people have been separated for more than ten years. It's not close enough, Nan Xu just doesn't want to delay his business.

"The queen mother, when the child has done this, she will come back. When the time comes, let's get together. ”

Nan Su was silent for a long time, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked into a smile.

She's a beauty, but she doesn't smile much. Therefore, there is a saying in the market that it is difficult to buy Nan Su Xiao. Since she came to Beixiang, even if she occasionally laughs, she doesn't have much sincerity.

Only at this moment, full of tenderness, the eyebrows and eyes are soft.

"Okay, the queen mother is waiting for you."

"It's been a busy night."

Nan Xu yawned, and he was extremely tired.

"I'll go rest first, you guys be careful."

"The queen mother is relieved."

"Hmm."

She nodded, opened the door, and walked away.

There were only two people left in the room, and he looked at Zhou Zhifu who was standing by the window, and his tone was modest.

"Your Highness, let's go too."

"Hmm, wait."

"What's wrong, Your Highness."

The young man's eyes were as black as ink, and his eyes were rippling. The corners of the lips slowly curl up, which is very pleasant.

"I've met her again."

Lu Weizhen also walked to the window, curious about who made him show such a soft look.

At this look, he was stunned. Why is Zhu Zhu'er with Wei Sique? Didn't it mean that she and Yuxi Lingyue were fine.

Wei Sique hugged her for a long time and didn't find the medical hall, and saw that the sky was about to dawn. The girl's complexion was not as pale as before, but gradually improved.

Duanmu Xihua was still quite embarrassed to let a man hold him for so long. At this moment, it can be delayed for a while, and I just hope that Qingye will go back early, and then ask someone to help.

When it comes to helping, the first thing that comes to her mind is Lu Weizhen.

After a little struggle, there were more people on the street. A food stall opened, and her eyes lit up as she smelled the aroma of food.

"I'm hungry."

Wei Sique paused and looked down at her.

"Not going to see the doctor?"

The girl nodded.

"It's not painful, it's just hungry."

"You want to eat something."

She gestured to the stall next to her.

"Little ravioli."

Then he looked at him again.

"Let me go."

"Okay."

"Wait."

She was still wearing her bedgown, and she didn't have time to change her clothes. This kind of appearance can't be instructive. Wei Sique took off his cloak and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Looking at the girl's well-behaved appearance, like a small hook brushed on her heart, itchy. His face was as cold and hard as ever, but his heart was soft and turned into water.

"Let's go."

The two came to the stall and sat down, and Wei Sique ordered two bowls of small wontons.

"Hey, okay, you two wait."

After a while, the boss came with a smile and two blue and white bowls on white ground.

"Slow use for two."

The wontons, thin and filling, shiny and steaming. The soup is rich with a layer of shrimp skin and coriander. The aroma is tangy, and the appetite of the hooked person is aroused.

Whatever he is, only food and love can not be disappointed.

He looked at her intently, and the girl's eyes were raised when she saw the ravioli, and her amber eyes were full of smiles.

Unconsciously infected by it, the young man's well-defined face was soft and light, and he also picked up the spoon and began to eat together.

"Girl, do you want a freshly cooked white bun."

The boss had already come up to them with a plate with a couple of freshly baked buns on it. Golden on both sides, it smells fragrant.

The girl immediately replied.

"Yes!"

"Hey, okay."

Wei Sique picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. The skin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The girl looked at him, her eyebrows crooked.

"That's not how it is eaten."

He wondered.

She took a piece of white bread, broke it into two pieces, and put one of the petals in the wonton soup.

"You try to eat it like this, how does it taste?"

"Okay."

He picked up his chopsticks, picked up the cake soaked in the soup, and put it in his mouth.

The rich soup soaks into the broken buns. Take a bite in late autumn, and the whole person will be warm.

Zhou Zhifu obviously felt that the young man standing next to him was in a much gloomy mood. Although he looked back, his face was still calm and calm.

"Fusu, do you know her too?"

"Hmm."

"Hmm."

Zhou Zhifu's expression was casual, his eyes were calm and leisurely, and he asked as if he had no intention.

"Tell me who she's yours for."

"Friends, very important friends."

He pointed to the man who had been eating with the girl and continued.

"Well, what about him?"

The young man did not answer, and his eyebrows and eyes were lonely. Although Yan Yan smiled lightly, it was obvious that he was a little more gloomy than the feeling he had before.

"Your Highness thinks so."
