For a moment, the atmosphere fell into awkwardness.

The people passing by around looked sideways and skimmed the three people. Mingyuexi was a little at a loss, and Xia Nanfeng looked at Gu Yanbai without saying a word. After a long time, he laughed out loud.

He patted Mingyuexi's shoulder and said, "Your friend is really interesting. ”

After speaking, he left with a deep and incomprehensible look.

Gu Yanbai pulled her over, and his tone was a little reproachful: "Don't have anything to do with him in the future." ”

Mingyuexi nodded ruinly, originally through today's incident, she didn't plan to continue to intersect with Xia Nanfeng.

"Who is he?" Mingyuexi tilted her head to look at him.

"Don't you know?" Gu Yanbai said with some doubts, but then he understood the meaning of Mingyuexi's words.

"He is the second prince of the current emperor - Xia Nanfeng."

Mingyuexi nodded thoughtfully, it turned out that his name was Xia Nanfeng.

Gu Yanbai was not very surprised when he saw her, and he didn't say anything.

"I'm going to Shangshu Mansion, you can go back first." He briefly explained the itinerary to Mingyuexi, and then asked the guards waiting for me to send her back.

Time flies, three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the real mastermind has still not been found, Gu Yanbai is a little anxious.

In the court, the voices condemning the crown prince are getting louder and louder, but the people who defend the prince have disappeared.

If this continues, the prince's silent confession will become a crime of corruption.

After Gu Yanbai pursued it to no avail, he decided to go to the palace to see the prince.

Although the palace is heavily guarded, with his ability, it should not be a problem to sneak into the palace and hold out for a while.

"You want to go to the prince?" Ming Yuexi was a little surprised when she heard his words.

He was the only one who could not enter the palace.

Not to mention that the palace is tightly guarded, there must be many pairs of eyes staring at the crown prince at this moment.

"Let Pig Eight... Let my uncle go with you. ”

Mingyuexi almost skewered.

"Your uncle?" Gu Yanbai looked at Mingyuexi with an innocent face, remembered Zhu Bajie's expression that he couldn't walk when he saw food, and said with some uncertainty.

Mingyuexi knew his concerns, and said a little embarrassedly: "Heh... Hehe, my uncle is still more serious when he encounters a big event. ”

However, when she said this, she didn't believe it.

But no matter what, Zhu Bajie is a god after all, and with his protection, Mingyuexi can rest assured.

"My uncle, he..."

"Are you worried about me?" Gu Yanbai leaned in front of Mingyuexi and looked at her.

"Yes.... Oh, yes... If you are caught, then I don't have to suffer too..."Mingyuexi played with a strand of hair hanging down, not noticing Gu Yanbai's movements at all.

Gu Yanbai was so made by her reason that he couldn't laugh or cry, and the hand that wanted to touch her head was in the air.

"Okay, it's getting late, you prepare well, I'll inform my uncle." After Mingyuexi finished speaking, she slipped back to her room and summoned Zhu Bajie.

"What, you asked me to follow that kid?" Zhu Bajie had great surprise written on his face.

Gu Yan visited the palace at night, and he still had to pull him.

He refused without even thinking about it: "I don't want it." ”

He is now in a special period, and it is not good to use spells frequently in the mortal world, let alone be a gentleman on the beam.

However, Mingyuexi's words made him hesitate: "Do you know that you are helping Wenqu Xingjun?" ”

Zhu Bajie patted his head, how could he forget this stubble.

Wenqu Xingjun was ordered to go down to the mortal experience, if he supported him, it might be a great achievement.

Ming Yuexi looked at Zhu Bajie's calculating look, and had seven or eight points of affirmation in his heart that he would help Gu Yanbai.

"All you have to do is help him stay out of the palace guards." Mingyuexi was eating the small snacks newly developed by Diecui, and said to Zhu Bajie on the other.

At night, Gu Yanbai came outside the palace wall wearing a night suit.

The wind ruffled the corners of his clothes, and his face was unbelievably serious.

He beckoned lightly, and three guards appeared from the shadows, helping him easily jump onto the palace wall.

When the guards changed, the guards under the palace wall at this moment were the most lax, Gu Yanbai avoided the various changing of guards with ease, and quietly sneaked into the prince's bedroom.

The prince was lying on the bed, studying the military book, when he heard the movement outside the room, he was just about to call someone, and after seeing Gu Yanbai's face, he threw down the book, put on a shirt and walked out of bed.

"Brother Gu, why are you here?" The prince looked at Gu Yanbai with some surprise.

"Please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen came late at night to find out one thing." Gu Yanbai knelt on one knee on the ground, his expression a little grim.

"But it's for corruption?" Wise as the crown prince, when he was imprisoned by the emperor for this crime, he knew that someone framed him.

Gu Yanbai nodded: "This matter is about your reputation, and I hope the prince will tell you the truth." ”

The prince smiled and glanced at him, then helped him up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and his heart was stunned.

It is said that knowing the son is better than the father, and the father can doubt anyone, but he can't doubt him.

"Brother Gu, do you trust me?" The prince turned around and looked at Gu Yanbai with a sad look in his eyes.

Gu Yanbai nodded without hesitation, but someone did it on purpose, he had to find out who framed the prince.

"I suspect it's Liu Shangshu." The prince named an object of suspicion.

Liu Shangshu? Didn't he always have a close relationship with the prince's teacher, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang also recommended his son Liu Mi to the prince many times.

"How can the prince see it?" Gu Yanbai was puzzled.

The prince turned around and took out a stack of letters from the desk beside him.

"Open it and take a look."

Gu Yanbai took the letter and was about to open it to read it, but found that there were blank pieces of paper inside.

"Why is that?"

"When the maidservant was cleaning the hall, I happened to meet Liu Shangshu exchanging letters with the Taifu, so I quietly sent someone to sneak into the Taifu's room and fetch all these letters."

Gu Yanbai stared at the letter for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Has the prince succeeded in decrypting it?" ”

The prince nodded, but as cautious as he was, the prince added another secret word to the letter he replied, and he still hasn't cracked it.

In other words, the crown prince has now collected only some superficial evidence.

The real crux of the epistle lies in the words behind the secret word.

"The letter probably said that on the third day of the first lunar month of next month, the two of them made an appointment on the shore of Liuzi Lake to discuss the disaster relief funds in Ba County."

He has always known that Taifu has the responsibility of teaching and educating people, but he doesn't know that he is also lenient in managing the affairs of the household?

"Liu Shangshu..."Gu Yanbai suddenly thought of something.

If the funds for disaster relief have to go through the hands of Liu Shangshu, then he will not be able to get rid of the matter with Ba County.
