Chapter 41: Tracing the Cause

"County Lord, County Lord, where are you going? It's late at night, and the road is not easy to walk, so the small ones will light you up. ”

This voice sounded like a little eunuch, compared to the shrill voices of others, his gentler was much gentle, and it was very good. Kang Yufei turned his head and wanted to smile politely at him to thank him.

"The county lord...... The minion looks vulgar, and he is afraid of scaring the county lord, or ......"

"It's okay, I can't see it."

"Huh?" The surroundings suddenly fell silent, but soon, his voice sounded again, as good as just now, "Then the slave will take the county lord and go, where the county lord is going, the slave will lead the way." ”

"Back to Fanghua Palace, I can only go here."

There was no word all the way, but his steps were slow, step by step, and his collar was extremely stable, like someone who had been in this palace for a long time.

"I don't know what to call it?" Kang Yufei has been in this palace for a long time, but he has never seen someone who does things so safely.

"The slave is doing miscellaneous labor in the Shen Criminal Division, and he is a slave who is not in the stream, so don't pollute the ears of the county lord."

Speaking of the Shen Criminal Division, Kang Yufei suddenly remembered Yi Min, who had just been shocked by the incident in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but forgot about it, and felt guilty in his heart, "In the afternoon, a palace maid named Yi Min entered the Shen Criminal Division, do you know the situation?" ”

"The county lord doesn't have to worry, Miss Yi has been released, and she should go back to Fanghua Palace at this moment."

Kang Yufei grabbed his arm tightly and wanted to ask a few questions.

"Miss Yi didn't suffer, she was just locked up for a while, and she was better off than you, the county lord." The little eunuch continued.

This really sounded sarcastic, and Kang Yufei couldn't help but smile. It is not easy to occasionally have such a moment of smile and warmth in this palace.

"Here we are." The little eunuch suddenly lowered his arm, Kang Yufei had no support, but he was a little panicked, his hand drew a circle in the air, and he grabbed the little eunuch's hand again. She felt that it was his palm that she was holding, and there was a deep scar on the tiger's mouth, all the way across the palm of his hand. His hand shook slightly, stayed for a moment, and then withdrew, and then left in a hurry, without hearing Kang Yufei's thanks.

"County Lord, what's wrong?"

Hearing Fang's mother's voice, Kang Yufei felt much more relieved, "Is Yi Min back?" ”

"I've been locked up in the Criminal Division for a long time, but I'm hungry and haven't been tortured, why did you get like this?"

"Don't ask, I want to get some rest."

It has been several days since Li Kai heard the news of the attack on the crown prince. Yuan Xinqiang didn't find any useful clues, and there was no change in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

"The grass people think that this matter is the same as last time, and I am afraid that nothing can be found." When Li Kai said this, he thought about it for a long time.

The prince sneered, leaving Li Kai confused.

"I'm afraid I can't find out anything about this matter...... The prince carefully played with this sentence, and after a while, he said to Yuan Xinqiang, "Xinqiang, you don't have to spend time." Let's just think it didn't happen, right? ”

Treat it as if it never happened? This doesn't sound like the prince's consistent style of treating the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Li Kai tried to ask carefully, "Your Highness, although the human evidence is gone, the physical evidence is still there, and you can still check it, right?" ”

"If you can wait for my eldest brother to come back and connect to the line of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, this matter should be clear." Yuan Xinqiang doesn't seem to want to give up.

The prince's face was gloomy, "The person who arranged this matter is too smart, and the person who is too smart likes to set up such a bureau the most, and use the false accusation to clear his name, and it is the safest to frame himself, he must arrange it properly, and the evidence, I'm afraid I can't find any flaws." ”

"Your Highness suspects the assassination arranged by Kang Yuqing?" Li Kai was very skeptical of the prince's opinion, although Kang Yuqing was in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he never seemed to ask about the affairs of the court, and he did his own business and wrote his own articles with peace of mind. Besides, what benefits can be gained by assassinating the prince in the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei? "But why did the Zhenbei Hou Mansion do this?"

"yes, why?" The prince stood up and patted Li Kai on the shoulder, "Have you ever thought that their target might not be me?" ”

This made Li Kai even more puzzled, "Who is that?" ”

"Kang Yufei."

Li Kai shook his head desperately, he felt that it was wrong, all of this made no sense, "If this Kang Yufei is pretending, there is no reason for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to kill her at this moment." ”

"Reason? She is by my side for a reason, a word, a gesture, may reveal her identity. Only when he is dead will he be unable to verify. ”

It is not unreasonable for the prince to say this, but Li Kai has always felt that the direction of this matter is a little weird, "Your Highness, don't be suspicious at will, the grass people think that this matter, it is better to check it, which is reassuring." ”

"Weichen agrees with what Li Gongzi said, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will allow Weichen to continue to investigate."

"Then look it up." The prince nodded, "Xinqiang, you can continue to check, but the movement should not be too big." ”

"Yes."

On this day, the sun appeared early, and the earth was warm. Kang Yufei rested for a few days, his eyes were bright again, and when he caught up with the good weather, he got dressed and planned to go to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

"County Lord, Imperial Physician Qin can explain, in the future, you can't be cold, you can't be angry, you can't be sad." Fang's mother helped her put her clothes together, and her face was a thousand uneasy.

"Got it, got it. You see, have I asked about family matters in the past few days? Kang Yufei smiled gently. Fang's mother allowed herself to go out, she was reluctant to miss such an opportunity because of a few words.

The yard was empty, and Yi Min was not there.

"Is Yi Min out again?"

"Nope." Fang's mother pointed to the roof, "Now that the prince has strengthened the guards here, Yi Min wanted to sneak out of the palace yesterday, but was driven back by a guard, and he was sulking on it." ”

Suddenly a stone fell from the roof and smashed it into a small wooden barrel in the courtyard impartially, and then another one came down and landed on the ground next to the barrel.

"Yi Min, can the guards in this palace beat you? Your martial arts ......" Kang Yufei felt a gust of wind in front of him, and Yi Min fell in front of him, "You are not good at martial arts." ”

"In the huge palace, there must be a few masters, otherwise, the emperor can survive until now?" Yi Min didn't seem to be in a good mood, and the stones in his hand fell into the barrel as soon as he threw them.

"Yo Yo, be careful when you speak, little ancestor, there are people everywhere now." Fang's mother was in a hurry, but she amused these two girls.

Yi Min picked up the barrel and put it farther away, "Now, it's just boring." I was expecting to eat and drink with you in the palace and have a lively time, but unfortunately, the good days did not come for a few days. She spread the stone in her hand in front of Kang Yufei, and Kang Yufei shook her head. In other words, how did you offend His Royal Highness the Prince, look around, it's no different from being in prison now. "The stone was thrown and fell steadily into the barrel." Ah, no, when the third brother was in prison, there were still people to practice swords, and we are better than being in prison now. "A handful of stones were thrown together, and they all went into the barrel." Alas. I'm crazy to play with rocks here. ”

Kang Yufei didn't reply to her, pursed her lips and laughed secretly.

Yuan Xingang finally brought some good news to the prince this time, and the matter of the military salary of the Zhenbei Army made him sort it out from beginning to end. He piled up the thick material in front of the prince and explained it carefully. A smile appeared on the prince's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Okay, this errand is well done, I want to reward you, but it's not good to reward you now, remember it first, and when you understand the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, you will reward it together." ”

However, after getting this crime, how to use it, the prince still has to think about it.

"Isn't Your Highness going to deal with it immediately?" Li Kai saw that the prince smiled, and his sad face gradually rose, so he asked.

"This crime is not fatal, if I can't defeat the enemy with one move, then I can't act rashly."

Li Kai nodded, it is true.
