"These are what we should do, and this is what the imperial court should do." Yun Rongjue said.

The people were enthusiastic and rushed to give them what they could give them. You can't stop it.

After the crowd dispersed, an old man stood not far away, and the old man looked at them with a smile on his face.

"Uncle."

The old man stepped forward and saluted Yun Rongjue, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness King Lin'an. ”

"Old Bomo is going to salute politely."

The old man smiled, "His Royal Highness the King of Lin'an cleaned up these poisons for the people of Luozhou, and the old man is grateful to His Royal Highness." ”

"The old man is polite, speaking of which, it is the old man's mention that allows us to find the key point so quickly, otherwise, we would not find out so quickly."

The old man smiled and waved his hand, "The old man's modest strength is not enough to worry about." ”

"The old man is humble, speaking of which, I have a question, and I want to ask the old man, I don't know if the old man can say a thing or two." Yun Rongjue asked.

"Your Highness, please speak."

Yun Rongjue gestured, and the three of them walked to the tea stall on the side and sat down.

"I want to come to the first meeting between the two of us and the uncle, as well as the later meeting, it was all deliberately done by the uncle, the uncle has always known our identity, the uncle has worked hard to remind us, in addition to being the people of this Luozhou City and willing to do it, think about it, there should be others, right? I wonder if the old man can tell me his real identity? Yun Rongjue said bluntly.

The old man took a sip of tea, and then smiled up.

"His Royal Highness King Lin'an is really smart, in fact, the old man doesn't have any real identity, he is just an ordinary person."

Yun Rongjue listened carefully.

"It's just...... The old man is now over 50 years old, and when he was young, he used to be a scholar. ”

Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes slightly, and he had a little guess in his heart.

The old man slowly told them about his own experience.

It turned out that when the old man was young, he was also full of poetry and books, and he was a rare learned person in this Luozhou City.

"In that year's township test, I was full of confidence, but I was biased! I didn't get into the township exam, if I didn't learn enough, I would admit it, and then study hard, but the people in this township exam are the ones who don't learn and don't have skills! It's just a gentleman who knows a few words! Just because they are rich and powerful, they have squeezed out those of us who study hard! ”

When the old man talked about this paragraph, he was still angry.

Yun Rongjue frowned and listened, and the old man continued: "If we can't pass the township exam, we won't have the opportunity to go to Beijing to catch the exam. ”

"It's so damning! And then? Does the old man have to take the test again? Yu Lie couldn't help but say.

The old man sighed, "Of course there is, we have made a fuss, no result, and we have no other way but to go home and continue to study hard, hoping that in the coming year, these gentlemen will be less, and let us have a chance, but it's a pity......"

"This year and year, it's like this, we are angry, we have made trouble several times, but every time we have been beaten by these people, after a long time, everyone can not see hope, can only accept fate, many people give up."

"Uncle, you ......"

"I ...... I was unwilling. But there is really no way, year after year, just like this, this age is getting older and older, and there is no hope. The more the old man sighed, the longer he sighed.

"I thought that I would live like this for the rest of my life, and I couldn't see the time when the tumor in Luozhou City was eradicated, but I didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, the old man's sad face changed to a smile, "Finally, the old man has seen such a day!" Your Royal Highness, I also hope that Your Highness can show the emperor and let the emperor choose a clean and honest official to the people of Luozhou City. ”

"Don't worry, uncle." Yun Rongjue said.

The old man bowed his head and stood up, "Then the old man won't bother, this is for His Highness." ”

The old man handed the thing wrapped in oil paper to Yun Rongjue, and Yu Lie asked curiously, "What is this, uncle?" ”

The old man smiled, "This, it's some herbs, the old man's ancestor is a doctor, and he left some secret recipes, the herbs are all ground, which has a miraculous effect on the treatment of trauma, the old man has nothing to give to His Royal Highness, these herbs are a little bit of the old man's mind, and I hope His Royal Highness will not dislike it." ”

Yun Rongjue had a faint smile on his face, and he took it, "Uncle has a heart." ”

Seeing Yun Rongjue accept it, the old man smiled, bowed to Yun Rongjue, and left.

After the old man left, Yun Rongjue and Yu Lie were wandering around the market, "Your Highness, when will we leave for home?" ”

"Three days later."

————

In the palace, there were different opinions about the opposition to the prince in the previous dynasty, and even the harem was full of noise, and the palace people inevitably whispered and talked about it in private.

"Have you heard, the emperor intends to make King Lin'an the crown prince."

"Of course I've heard about it, but it's not an uncommon thing, Mrs. Chu has been the most favored for so many years, and the emperor also likes King Lin'an the most because of Mrs. Chu, and it is normal to make King Lin'an the crown prince."

"But King Jin was born to the queen's mother, and he is the eldest son, could it be that His Royal Highness King Lin'an wants to go beyond His Royal Highness King Jin? I don't think it's likely. ”

"How is it impossible, although our Da Liang is the first to establish a grandson, but the first emperors have not established a non-grandson or a long-term emperor, not to mention far away, the emperor is not the eldest son."

"Yes."

"Let's just guess what, it depends on our emperor's thoughts."

When Liu Fangfei passed by, the speculative words of the palace people fell into her ears, making her frown unhappily, "The matter of establishing the prince has been spread to the harem." She whispered.

"Niangniang, the emperor and the ministers of the previous dynasty have discussed this matter very well, this harem ...... If you know, it's inevitable, those palace people don't know the so-called nonsense, don't take it to heart. The palace maid persuaded.

"I don't know what to say? This palace doesn't think so, in this huge harem, there are many people who think that King Lin'an will become the crown prince! Liu Fangfei gritted her teeth and said.

"! They think it's their business, they're all inconsequential pawns, and it's our emperor who makes the decision. Sister-in-law said with relief.

Liu Fangfei took a deep breath and looked down at the armor in her hand, "Yes, it was the emperor who made the final decision...... But the emperor ......"

"The emperor loves that slut, and he also loves the children born to that slut, if the emperor really ...... the crown prince because of this"

"Niangniang is thinking about it again," Yan'er hurriedly took over, "Mrs. Chu is favored, but no matter how favored she is, she is just a lady, how can she compare with Niangniang is the lord of a palace, Niangniang is the lord of a palace, Queen Daliang, our Royal Highness is the eldest son of the grandson, this is the rule of the ancestors, Niangniang can be relieved." ”

Relieved ......

How could she be relieved.

Chu Yin......

From the moment she stepped into the palace, she was her worst enemy.

No......

It should be said that from the day they met, she was her worst enemy!

Liu Fangfei's eyes flickered, and when she saw Chu Yin coming over, her face instantly turned cold, and she stepped forward.

Chu Yin saw the domineering Liu Fangfei, her expression was cold, she bowed, "The concubine sees the queen mother, the queen mother is happy forever." ”

"I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister's complexion seems to be better, and it's really refreshing for people to be happy at happy events."

Chu Yin lowered her eyes slightly, "Niangniang said that she laughed, where is the concubine happy." ”

"Didn't you? My sister really doesn't know, or is she pretending to be stupid with this palace? Who doesn't know that the emperor is going to set up a prince, this King Lin'an is the emperor's favorite, and King Lin'an is going to become a prince, isn't it a great joy for my sister. ”

"Niangniang laughed, it is a big deal to establish a prince, and Jue'er is not a grandson or a long, she can't take on the prince's responsibility, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the son of the queen's mother, and he is the best candidate for the prince."

Liu Fangfei sneered: "You don't have to be cozy with this palace here, what kind of heart do you have, others don't know, do you think this palace will not know?" You tried your best to win the emperor's heart, didn't you just stand tall in your own position, and now that your son has the possibility of sitting on the throne of the crown prince, will you easily let it go? ”

"Chu Yin, from the time we met, to now, what kind of person you are, we all know each other in our hearts."

"Niangniang misunderstood, the concubine didn't want Jue'er to become the prince's heart, as for the emperor...... The concubines didn't do it deliberately, and the emperor's holy will is not something we can figure out at will. ”

Chu Yin's words of defense not only made Liu Fangfei's mood more soothed, but even more ashamed.

"Smack!"

Liu Fangfei raised her hand and directly slapped Chu Yin.

"Mother, you...... How can you hit someone. Caitang subconsciously protects the master.

"Cheap maid, this palace teaches the concubines, where is your share of talking! Pull down the palm mouth twenty! ”

Chu Yin watched the palace people pull Caitang aside, and snapped her applause, like a thorn, and her throat choked slightly.

Liu Fangfei saw the slight change in Chu Yin's expression, and her red lips rose slightly, "What's the matter, my sister is distressed?" ”

Chu Yin shook her head, "This girl has lost her rules, and it is right for her to teach her a lesson." ”

Liu Fangfei snorted coldly, "That's right, the palace is in charge of the harem, and it has the right to purge the unruly people in the harem, whether it is the palace people or the concubine." ”

Liu Fangfei said this to Chu Yin, Chu Yin knew it and bowed her head slightly.

The slapping sound gradually stopped, and the palace people stepped forward, "Niangniang, it's over." ”

Liu Fangfei held her breath, straightened her chest and back, and let out a soft sound between her noses, "Let's go." ”

"Congratulations to the Queen." Chu Yin lowered her eyes and was rude, and she didn't retract her eyes until Liu Fangfei's figure completely disappeared from view.

"Mother."

"Are you alright?" Chu Yin glanced at Caitang.

Caitang shook his head, "Niangniang, the slave is fine, but it's you, Niangniang is deeply favored by the emperor, and the queen shouldn't beat you even if she is angry." She worried.

Chu Yin raised his hand and touched Fang Cai's face, hooked his lips and chuckled, "It's just a slap, it's okay, let's go." ”

……

When he returned to Changle Palace, Caitang wanted to take the ointment to give Chu Yin medicine, but Chu Yin refused.

"Madam, this is not medicine, I'm afraid it will get better slowly." Caitang said worriedly, the queen's slap was really not light.

Chu Yin smiled faintly and brushed his hands, "It's okay, the emperor will come over later, you go and prepare some of the emperor's favorite food." ”

Caitang could only obey the order and retreat.

In the evening, Yunlou came to Changle Palace.

In this huge palace, in addition to the Chengming Palace, the place where the cloud tower stays the most is Changle Palace.

"Today, the small kitchen has prepared vegetarian ham and warm rice porridge, which is the most stomach-nourishing, the emperor can try it." Chu Yin gave Yun Rongjue a bowl and handed it over.

As long as Chu Yin treated each other softly, Yunlou was overjoyed, and the smile on his face never fell, but when she took the porcelain handed by Chu Yin, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Yin's slightly red face reflected by the candlelight, and the smile on his face sank instantly.

"Yin'er, what's wrong with your face? I'll see. ”

Chu Yin subconsciously turned his head, "It's nothing, the emperor has a meal." ”

Chu Yin intended to reveal it, but Yun Lou was unwilling, he forcibly twisted Chu Yin's face around, and in an instant, the red marks on her face were obvious, "What's going on?!" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"Say, how do you serve Madame!" Yunlou looked at Caitang on the side and scolded coldly.

Caitang was frightened and knelt down, "The emperor forgives the sin, but our slave maid did not serve the lady well, but ...... But the slaves and maids couldn't help it, and the marks on the lady's face were ...... It was the queen mother who punished her, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to come against the queen mother, and they hoped that the emperor would see it. ”

"Shut up, who told you to chew the root of your tongue in front of the emperor!" Chu Yin scolded.

The emotion on Yun Lou's face was angry and distressed, "Yin'er, do you still want to hide it from me, you respect her as the queen, be humble and polite to her, and tolerate her everywhere, but she is getting more and more excessive, how can she have a little bit of the demeanor of the lord of the first palace!" ”

Chu Yin said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, don't blame the queen mother, it was about this time that the crown prince was established, and the harem was boiling, and the queen mother was worried and tired, and she was in a bad mood. ”

Chu Yin originally wanted to comfort Yun Lou, but he didn't want to make Yun Lou's face even worse, "Worried and tired? I see that she is thinking about the crown prince of her own son! Now the most vocal opponents of the prince in the DPRK and China are Feng'er and Jue'er, and she is embarrassed for you for this! It's ridiculous! I'm going to punish her well! ”

"Your Majesty, don't," Chu Yin hurriedly stopped, "If the emperor really punished the queen for his concubines, whether it is in the harem or the previous dynasty, it is not good for the emperor to spread it, and it is ...... The concubine is a concubine, and it is most normal for the queen mother to admonish the concubine, otherwise, it will make the concubine crown the crime of not knowing etiquette and humility, pampering and arrogance. ”

Chu Yinwen's voice was a little coquettish persuasion, which was the most direct to Yunlou's heart, although he was annoyed, but for Chu Yin's sake, he had to agree not to pursue this matter.

This night, the cloud tower is staying in Changle Palace.

Early the next morning, Chu Yin waited for Yunlou to get up, wash and change clothes.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After Yunlou walked out of the hall, the smile on Chu Yin's face gradually faded, and in a moment she withdrew all the palace people, leaving only Caitang to serve by her side.

"Go and prepare hot water, and the main palace will take a bath." She said coldly.

The hot water vapor was everywhere, Chu Yin had a calm face, holding a cloth in his hand, and wiped his body with hot water over and over again.

Every time she wiped it, she pressed hard, as if she wanted to completely remove the dirt from her body.

But her body is as white as jade, and there is no dirt.

————

Los Angeles City.

Yun Rongjue, Yu Lie and others were about to leave, and the people of Luozhou City were all at the gate of the city to see each other.

The people gave them a lot of things, and Yun Rongjue only chose some inexpensive food to keep as dry food on the road.

"Your Highness, let's go."

The old man went out of the city to see him off.

"Uncle, it's windy, go back."

The old man smiled with satisfaction on his face, nodded again and again, he waved his hand at Yun Rongjue, and looked at it until they were getting farther and farther away.

"The people of Luozhou City have finally come to the end of their hardships," Yu Lie was also happy, he looked at the full burden, which was full of dry food and some special food sent to them by the people of Luozhou, and there was a small burden next to the burden, although the burden was small but full, "What is Your Highness buying these many gadgets?" ”

Before leaving, Yun Rongjue selected and bought many characteristic gadgets in many shops in the city.

"It works." He said lightly, his eyes fell, and the pretty face with a smile couldn't help but appear in front of him.

Yu Lie muttered a few times, and suddenly reacted, "Are these highnesses going to give Jiang Wu?" ”

Yun Rongjue didn't respond, but he didn't deny it.

Yu Lie was even more sure.

Come to think of it, my master has never been interested in these gadgets.

They left Luozhou City, went to Linxian County, next door to Luozhou, and found an inn to settle down.

After they finished eating, Yu Lie put things away for Yun Rongjue.

At this time, Xiao Er's voice came from the door, Yu Lie opened the door, Xiao Er looked inside, "Guest officer, I'm sorry to disturb, this is the newly brewed wine from the shop, I specially sent it to the two guest officers to taste, so I can give our shop a little advice." ”

Yun Rongjue's eyes as he read the book turned slightly, and the afterglow fell inadvertently.

"Take it." Yun Rongjue spoke.

Yu Lie accepted the wine.

"Do you want to use some for Your Highness?" Yu Lie asked.

Yun Rongjue put down the scroll in his hand, walked to the table, opened the lid of the wine jug, and the aroma of the wine overflowed, "The aroma is full, but ...... Whether it is good or bad is not yet known. With that, he took the flask and poured some of it out to the ground.

In a moment, the wine on the ground steamed.

Yu Lie's eyes widened, "This wine is poisonous?!" Bastard, dare to poison! His subordinates immediately captured him! ”

Yun Rongjue grabbed Yu Lie and stopped his impulse.

"It's useless for you to catch that little er, and he's not the mastermind."

Coming out of the palace, until now, they have been on guard all the way, and there have been no problems along the way, but I didn't expect that they would be here......

"But is it just a matter of letting it go? Even if the shopkeeper is not the mastermind, let's let him confess the mastermind behind it! Yu Lie said.

Yun Rongjue's eyes were dark, and the mastermind behind it was ......

"He can't confess, he's just delivering things for someone, and that person is afraid that he has already left."

"That'...... That's it? Yu Lie was unwilling.

"We'll set off early tomorrow morning, all the way...... I'm afraid it's not easy. Yun Rongjue said.

The next day, the group set off. The shopkeeper saw them early, and he didn't have much surprise in it, which also confirmed what Yun Rongjue said yesterday that the shopkeeper was just collecting money to run errands and deliver things for others.

They walked all the way forward, occasionally resting in the middle, and they did not dare to let down their vigilance.
