"The painting on this must be fake, Que Du didn't even take off the mask, when doing that kind of thing, how could he not even take off the mask, don't you say?"

Xuan Ming pinched Yun Yige's waist, he also wore a mask when his face was injured, but when he kissed and bowed his head, the mask would always get in the way, and when he was happy, he would definitely tear the mask off.

"It shows that the person who made the painting doesn't know what Que Du looks like."

"It's just that you are drawn very realistically."

Yun Yige's beautiful face and proud figure can be seen from the outside, even through thick clothes, it is difficult to hide the beauty that is about to come out, but the marks on the body, the private places are not visible to anyone. The people who can see this mark, except for Xuan Ming herself, are the people who served her and saw her naked body.

"You have to pay attention to the people around you, except for the few who serve closely, no one will see the mark on your body."

Xuan Ming's hand rubbed on the red dot under Yun Yige's collarbone, and it was hot where it was rubbing, Yun Yige held his hand, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I know, it's Yemei." ”

Although the Queen Mother is afraid of the Hades Palace, she will not use such stingy means, Sang Lianxin, Wan Yao and Chu Wenrui have not seen her body, Zhu'er and Yue'er will not do anything to be sorry for her, then there is only Yemei.

"But Yemei?" Xuan Ming raised her eyebrows, on the surface, Yun Yige was polite and very enthusiastic to her, but in her heart she must be very disgusted with her.

"Once when I was bathing, she suddenly came in and gave me a jade skin ointment, and applied some to my body, and the ointment was filled with poison that would make people fester, but unexpectedly, she took the opportunity to look at my body and use the red dots on my body."

Yun Yige suddenly had a feeling of discomfort that he had been looked at.

"She is more scheming and calm than her sister, and she deserves to come out of the deep palace, so scheming."

This time, even if she was a bad move, she saw through Yemei's trick of using poison, but she didn't see that she still had a back move.

Xuan Ming nodded, if this is the case, then it makes sense: "Since you left the capital, Yemei has not left the Hades Palace, but later went to the temple, saying that it is to pray for you and keep you safe all the way." ”

But there are guards secretly watching Yemei's whereabouts, and the guards can see where she went and what she did.

She went to see a woman, but she was dressed in a big hat and with a hood and could not see clearly. Later, someone came to the house to send the painting of the upside-down phoenix, and the housekeeper sent someone to follow the person who sent the painting, and touched the melon along the vine, and touched the Chu Mansion, presumably Yemei's helper was Chu Wenrui. ”

The two joined forces, and after such a fuss, they guessed who it was, and Yun Yige's heart was sullen.

"It's really a good cousin of the prince." Yun Yige pushed Xuan Ming, turned his face away, and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Xuan Ming heard the displeasure and jealousy in her tone, and kissed her on the cheek: "It's me who is not good." ”

Although these people were not deliberately provoked by him, they were all related to him.

"Those secret guards who protect me were sent by the prince." Yun Yige asked him.

"Well, I sent more than 30 secret guards to protect you all the way, and found the silver ticket of the Chu family from the assassin led by you. This assassin is also Chu Wenrui's handiwork, she is really generous, these assassins are not cheap, according to her spending money like water, I want to see how long Chu Fu can last. ”

Yun Yige nodded and didn't speak again, Chu Wenrui couldn't wait to put her to death, if it was someone else, she would definitely think of her life as well as death, but she was a relative of the concubine and Xuan Ming, what should she do?

Seeing her in a daze, Xuan Ming hugged her waist and leaned into her arms, her whole body was half lying on Xuan Ming's body, and she could clearly feel Xuan Ming's heartbeat.

"Don't worry, this time the matter will not let you be wronged in vain, the Chu family, I will solve it."

Yun Yige's head rested on Xuan Ming's chest, she thought of what she saw along the way, and sighed: "This way south, I found that the famine was more serious than I imagined. ”

In Northern Chu, in winter, the lives of the people were miserable, some froze to death and some starved to death, and the imperial court provided disaster relief every year, but it was never able to solve the problem fundamentally.

Xuan Ming played with Yun Yige's hand and said slowly: "This problem has existed in the Jiangning area for a long time, and it has not been fundamentally solved so far. Along the way, I saw that the two sides of the street were quite prosperous, but on the side of the road and in the alleys, the poor people were poorly clothed and their lives were miserable. ”

Especially when he saw the beggar who was less than five years old on the side of the road, short and thin, leaning weakly against the base of the wall, with a helpless, desperate and confused gaze in his eyes, his heart was greatly shocked.

"When I get back, I will ask Your Majesty to come and check this place."

Yun Yige nodded, remembering that in his previous life, Xuan Wenchuan had united with local officials to collect more taxes, which made the people's grievances boil. But these things haven't happened in this life, is it because Xuan Wenchuan is dead, so the mastermind of this matter will fall on others?

Yun Yige thought about it for a while, and decided to tell Xuan Ming, whether it would happen or not, it could be regarded as a hint to him: "I read the script before, and it said that the government will change the law to collect more taxes, and one way is to modify the land deed. ”

"The actual area of the acres of land does not match the land deed, and the tax is collected according to the number on the land deed, so the people pay a lot more taxes every year. The money from growing grain and selling it is far less than the tax, so that the income cannot make ends meet, and the poor people become poorer and poorer, and they cannot survive at all. ”

Whether it is in Beichu, Xiliang or Nanyang, farming basically needs to pay taxes, and the amount of taxes is also paid according to the area on the land deed.

"Before, Jiang Ning Taishou was a relative of the queen Shangguan Junru, and he was also a person from Xuan Wenchuan, but now, Xuan Wenchuan is dead, Jiang Ning Taishou has been replaced by Wan Dexian, and he is the biological mother of the king, that is, the father of Wan Guifei, that is, the grandfather of the king, if the prince directly asks His Majesty to check, I am afraid it will not be so easy, and he will be hated by the king."

Yun Yige knew that Xuan Ming was dedicated to the people, and was not afraid of open and secret battles and continuous assassinations, but she couldn't bear to see him get hurt, and now that Xuan Ming has someone she loves, she will also have some scruples and try not to put herself in danger.

"Although King Liwang and Wan Guifei have lost power, the foundation is still there."

"What's the way to do it?" Xuan Ming looked down at her, she could always help him solve a lot of tricky problems, she was so special, unusual.

"It's better for the prince to let the people report this matter to His Majesty, instead of the prince asking for disaster relief. The court is closed to the people, and it can't hear the people's grievances or see the people's suffering, so let this voice be louder. ”

"Your Majesty has always paid attention to the wisdom of the first emperor through the ages, and in order to get the praise of the people, he has to take care of it."

There was a light flashing in Xuan Ming's eyes: "Good idea, you are really my lucky star." ”

There is a faint light shining in through the window, the sky is gradually getting brighter, Xuan Ming has to ride back, he is not in the house, it will attract suspicion for a long time.

After the two chatted for a while, Yun Yige felt Xuan Ming's hand wandering restlessly over her body.

"Do you want it?" Xuan Ming's warm breath sprayed in his ears.

Yun Yige was completely sleepy, and her nerves were extremely sensitive.

The charcoal fire in the house was extremely hot, and Xuan Ming simply threw the quilt aside and pressed it down.

The warm quilt disappeared suddenly, and a burst of coolness came, Yun Yige's body trembled, and he hugged Xuan Ming's waist tightly, absorbing the heat.
