At that time, there was a father and daughter living in the backyard of the temple, and the daughter was thirteen years old and liked to sing under the tree. We were afraid that she would disturb Qingxiu, so we persuaded them to move out. But because they were poor, they had nowhere to go. To add insult to injury, this father died of illness not long after. Just when we had nothing to do, a young man of fifteen or sixteen came to the monastery that day, first spoke to the girl, and then came to the poor monk.

"He told the poor monk that he could take this girl, but he wanted to buy the two magnolia trees in our temple."

"He wants to buy a tree?" Xie Wan was surprised.

By now, she had guessed that this young man was likely to be Mr. Seven, why did he pick her up when the girl was obviously unrelated and had no reason?

"Not bad." Yuan Qing nodded and said, "The poor monk still remembers that the young man was slender and thin, and he seemed to have a weak disease, and he was clearly not familiar with the girl, but he seemed to have a very affectionate relationship. The poor monk saw that he did not look like a bad man, and that he knew very well how to plant them, so he thought that instead of staying and dying, it would be better to give them to someone who was destined to give them to him, so he gave them to him.

However, the poor monk also wondered at that time, that the monks were merciful, and that the girl would suffer, so he asked them a few words, and left his dwelling. I don't know if it's useful to the prince and princess. ”

"Oh?" Hearing the end, Xie Wan immediately cheered up, "I don't know where to live?" ”

Yuan Qing took out an old piece of paper from his sleeve, "This is it." ”

Xie Wan immediately took it, and as soon as her eyes fell, the handwriting on it stabbed her eyes like a needle! This is Mr. Seven's handwriting, no doubt! "I wonder if he left his name?" She then asked.

Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "He didn't say it, but the poor monk overheard the people around him calling him the fourth master. ”

"Fourth Master?!"

Xie Wan's brows furrowed.

Fourth master, such a coincidence?

"Zhou Nanbei sedan chair, go to Camellia Hutong!"

She suddenly stood up and commanded, and then said to Yuan Qing: "Since the master is here, it shows some benevolence, and I ask the master to go with me to this place to have a look, and see if I can confirm the whereabouts of these two flowers and trees!" ”

"But at the Princess's command." Yuanqing stood up with his hands folded.

Half an hour later, the honor guard of the palace turned into the camellia alley.

This small courtyard that looks inconspicuous on the outside is cleaned up, with complete stone tables and stone benches, and the two red plum trees in the front yard are fully bloomed, looking red as blood under the clear sky.

This courtyard was actually already in the search of Wu Kui and them before, but now that they walked in with a different mood, the atmosphere was different from before. Previously, it was Mr. Souqi's whereabouts, but now in order to reveal his true identity, Xie Wan beckoned Xing Zhu: "Take people to search everywhere inside and outside, especially where to hide things." ”

After Xing Zhu went down, Xie Wan glanced at Yuanqing, entered the Hanging Flower Gate with him, and then stepped into the inner courtyard.

If this is indeed one of Mr. Seven's lair, then it should also be a place to stay, not only the doors and windows are very freshly painted, the courtyard is not much weeded, and even the corners of the door frame are very smooth, if it is a courtyard where no one is around, it is impossible to have such a scene.

Then I entered the main room, which was full of furniture, but there was nothing, empty beds, empty beds, empty kangs, and empty study and cabinets. Xie Wan looked at everything here carefully, and looked into the back yard through the window, where two broken legs were erected in the courtyard, and only a tree stump remained.

"Princess, these are the two magnolia trees!"

Liao Zhuo was responsible for the search of the magnolia tree in the city, and he already knew the characteristics of this tree well. "The last time we came to seal these yards, we didn't even see these two magnolia trees, it's really damn it!" Liao Zhuo said so remorsefully.

Xie Wan walked to the two broken trees, only to see that the fracture was very new, and guessed that it should have been cut not long ago to cover up his whereabouts.

"Now it is certain that the person who went to Donghua Temple to pick up the girl must be Mr. Seven. Mr. Seven is also known as the 'Fourth Master'——"

"Princess, I found something!"

Xie Wan was halfway through his words, Xing Zhu walked out with half a piece of yellow paper, "It is a talisman paper used by the common people to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and there is a birthday on it, although I can't see the age clearly, but the date and hour of birth are visible, I just found it on the top of the cabinet, it should be a long time, and I have no intention of being rolled there." ”

Xie Wan held this talisman paper in his hand, Yuanqing saw it from the side, and said: "Although the poor monk is a member of Buddhism, he also recognizes this kind of talisman by Taoists, and it is a talisman paper for praying for blessings, avoiding disasters and preventing diseases. ”

When Yuanqing described Mr. Seven's face before, he also said that he seemed to have a weak disease, which means that this Mr. Seven is indeed sick?

The fourth master, sick, about thirty years old, with a southern accent......

Suddenly, several flashes of light flashed in her mind at the same time! With so many coincidences, are there any doubts?

"Summer solstice, let someone send a message to the prince, if he has nothing important to ask him to return home immediately, I have something important to discuss!"

Xie Wan commanded loudly, and then grabbed this talisman paper with a time of birth and stepped onto the sedan chair.

Yin Yu was eating tea with the prince in the East Palace, and by the way, he also saw if there was a chance to make the prince loose and continue to investigate the case.

The prince didn't think so. As for the emperor's illness, it has dragged on for so long, and he has encountered so many bad things, it is really difficult to make him feel heavy anymore now, he just shows that he is heartbroken, and few people will believe it, right?

But he can't talk about the emperor's current situation, after all, father and son, who grew up reading sage books since childhood, even if he is about to ascend the throne, he only has fatigue in his heart, not excitement. With a sick body like him, he will be in charge of this country, and he will not be in charge for long, and then he will have to come to the throne with a new monarch who has worked hard and lost money, so he has a bold idea, but it still needs to be discussed with the cabinet.

Perhaps, it would be better to wait for Yin Yu to exterminate all the chaotic parties before discussing this matter. He thought with relief. Although he has been wronged by the emperor for forty years in his life, he has such a capable son, which is really a happy and proud thing.

"I still have a lot of tribute tea here, if you like it, take it back and drink it, I take medicine all year round, Chen Fuli warned you to drink less." He looked at Yin Yu gently, and pushed the two cans of tea on the table over. He saw that he had been drinking tea, he should have liked it, right? He had spent too little time with him in a father-son manner, and he would cherish it more in the future.

What kind of cold-blooded set should be an emperor, he doesn't want it.

When Yin Yu heard him say this, he hurriedly said, "No-" But when he saw his gaze again, he couldn't say anything if he refused. There was a faint warmth rising from the bottom of his heart, and when he thought about it carefully, he had never had such a time to sit with him and drink tea, and the fatherly love he expected was now unobstructed, and the attachment to the palace that he had gradually disappeared began to return to him little by little.

This is his home after all.

Recently, Prince Hui'an died at the hands of the Protector and his wife and Empress Xiaoyi, which made him feel very heavy, very unpleasant, Empress Dowager Xiaoyi was the one who killed her son for her son to become the prince, and the current prince is precisely his father, he doesn't know how to get rid of this mustard, and how to face their mistakes.

But the prince in front of him can make him forget about these things for a while.

"Okay, when there is no tea in the future, I will come to ask my father for it." He smiled and held the tea bag in his hand.

The sunlight from the long window fell on the square table, reflecting the warmth of the room.

"Lord, the princess sent someone to send a message, please go back to the house if you have nothing to do."

The little eunuch came in stunned to report, and Cui Fu reprimanded: "You have no eyesight, didn't you see His Highness talking to the prince?" ”

Yin Yu was also embarrassed, but he was not guilty and angry, and it was not a sin for his daughter-in-law to call him home.

The prince smiled and said to Yin Yu, "Go back." You have to sit and sit at your leisure. ”

Yin Yu nodded and nodded happily.

Back at the palace, Xie Wan was already sitting in the house with his eyebrows on his face.

Yin Yu put the tea on the table and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"We should be able to determine Mr. Seven's identity."

Xie Wan stood up and said confidently.

At this moment, the Anmu Palace's palace was very quiet, even Yin Xu was holding the big yellow cat and napping in the flower garden in the sun, no one knew what Xie Wan and Yin Yu were talking about in the room, only that when they came out, the sky was already dark, and their eyes were full of strange light.

After nightfall, Xie Wan went to the Protector's Mansion, and Yin Yu explained a few words to Pang Bai, and then saw Liao Zhuo and Qin Fang riding out with their burdens.

Dou Jin has been going up and down every day these days, discussing things when he should be on a business, and doing things when he should be on errands, except that he is quieter than in the past, and he can't see anything. But this is also excusable in the eyes of outsiders, because Yin Yao is dead, and he was killed as a criminal minister who killed the king, and the Dou family, as Yin Yao's quasi-Yue family, is an embarrassing time at this time.

So even if the Dou family did not show the joy of other houses, no one expressed surprise.

Mrs. Dou has not officially walked around for a month or two in a row, and after Yin Yao's incident, she even more did not show up. Perhaps it was a woman's instinct that her life was about to be peaceful, until she returned to the house that night without a sound, and she knew that her premonition was about to be confirmed.

Dou Xun is their nephew, and he is also another child she grew up with, and they were called brothers until they were six years old, until he went to Guangxi after the age of six, and this relationship changed substantially. At that time, the old man was in the East China Sea, and it had been a year after hearing about this incident, and he did not expect that Dou Jin would tell Dou about this past, 1152
