After three rounds of drinking, the prince suddenly smiled, Xiao Lian heard the voice, he didn't know what he meant, with a little drunkenness, he seemed to have really forgotten the dislike with Xiao Yi, and asked out loud: "What are you laughing at, big brother?" ”

Xiao Yi's eyes were fascinated, and he looked at him with a little softness, "Third brother, I remember that the waiter you used to take care of was called Wu Yong, who was handsome and smart, why don't you see his shadow now." ”

Xiao Lian's expression froze, and he instantly sobered up a little, with a little smile and doubt, and then sighed: "Brother Huang, you are really drunk, you forgot, he suffered from tuberculosis before, and I am afraid that he will return to his hometown for fear of infection." ”

"Oh, really?" Xiao Yi shook his head, as if he was not awake, stood up slowly, and pointed at Xiao Lian: "Third brother, the eldest brother is a little drunk, go to rest first, you are free!" ”

"Since the eldest brother is drunk, let's go in and rest, and the royal brother won't bother much." Seeing this, Xiao Jian hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and Xiao Yi didn't stop him, only muttered okay.

Xiao Lian didn't stay any longer, and turned around and retreated after saying goodbye.

As soon as he left, the attendant beside Xiao Yi hurriedly waved his hand to pull the dancing girl and the maid playing the piano back, and Xiao Yi, who was already drunk and unconscious, had recovered his eyes to a calm one, with a little worry in his eyes.

Tonight's temptation, Xiao Jian must be aware of it, if he is willing to move, he will give Xiao Yi a chance to seize the handle, now as long as he sends someone to keep an eye on the Three Princes' Mansion, he will immediately find someone to order him to go down.

This toss has reached the second half of the night, and although Fang Cai is acting, he has indeed drunk a lot. Since he became the prince, he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a prince, and he has never indulged himself like this, and he has not been drunk for a long time.

He had a headache, drank the fruit water sent by the next person to relieve the smell of wine, and bathed to relieve his fatigue before returning to the couch to rest. But I didn't expect such an experience, and the next morning it was a high fever, and I couldn't get up for a few days after being infected with the wind cold.

Emperor Xiao Qi and the empress were worried when they heard that their son had a high fever and that the queen was guarding her son all day and night, unable to take care of herself.

Emperor Xiao Qi also came to see Xiao Yi in the morning, his expression was solemn, and he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes, and he heard the people around him say that Xiao Yi drank with Xiao Jian and started to have a fever the next day, Xiao Qi was furious and reprimanded Xiao Lian again.

Xiao Yi stopped him, only saying that he was going to entertain Xiao Lian, where did the emperor listen, he was the prince, Xiao Lian, as a younger brother, should be persuaded more, not to mention that he was also infected with the wind and cold like the prince.

On the other side, Xiao Jian learned that Xiao Yi's real purpose in inviting him was to find out about Wu Yonghe's affairs back then, and he was already nervous and afraid that the matter would be revealed.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he asked people to investigate the affairs of Ning City, and only then did he learn that it was Yan Zheng's personal guards who returned to the capital, and he hurriedly asked people to go to Suizhou to check on Wu Yong, if Wu Yong was still there, there was no need to let him stay alive if necessary.

didn't think about it, Xiao Yi fell ill the next day, and he was so sick that his father punished him for this.

He was angry for a while, and angrily scolded Xiao Yi for why he couldn't drink wine, how to be a prince like this, and his father actually admonished him indiscriminately in order to maintain his prince's face, which made him hate Xiao Yi more and more in his heart, and he also knew the truth of the supremacy of power more and more.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, his affairs, the more excited Xiao Nan was when he learned the news, he knew that it was no good for Xiao Yi to invite them, Xiao Zhao prided himself on being smart but he was smart for a while, their father had favored Xiao Yi since he was a child, and he also went up to bump into him, and he deserved to be trained.

He got carried away like this, the more Xiao Lian was ashamed, a thought had already taken root in his mind, even if the matter was revealed, and this disaster would lead him to the east, he would be able to completely clear up the relationship, why not!

Thinking like this, Xiao Nan's ridicule was not serious in his eyes.

Chen Meng, who had escaped after following the wind back to Beijing, traveled all the way north, evaded the eyes and ears of the capital and Yan Zheng, and arrived in the capital in mid-August.

Yan Shi'an received the news and led people into the Three Kings' Mansion overnight.

"Subordinate Chen Meng has seen the Third Highness!"

In the side hall, Chen Meng stepped forward with an arrow when he saw Xiao Lian, knelt on one knee, and bowed.

"Get up!" Xiao Jian stretched out his hand to help him up, looking at him with a little relief, "I have been away from Beijing for so long, but it has become a lot darker, thank you for your hard work!" ”

"It's the duty of subordinates to worry about squatting!"

Chen Meng used an extremely fine human skin mask in the flower mirror village, and ordinary people couldn't notice that he was not the face Yan Zheng they had seen, he was a little darker than Zhang Hu, and he was not so delicate. Even if Zhang He is alive, he may not be able to recognize him.

"Your Highness, my subordinates met His Royal Highness the Nine, and it was he who gave advice to his subordinates, and also transferred those things to Bianyang and other places, so that they were all classified as ordinary people in case anyone found out, and he also asked me to come back and continue to assist you."

He briefly talked about the plan in the flower mirror village and the meeting with Xiao He, Xiao Lian was originally calm, but after hearing Xiao He, he was a little happy, "Ninth brother? You saw him, he dared to leave Beicheng without fear of being discovered! ”

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Ninth is very smart, he asked people to pretend to be him in the camp with a mask early in the morning, and as soon as the matter is resolved, he will already return to Beicheng, and there is no need to worry about the foot city very quickly."

"That'll be fine." Xiao Jian let go of his heart and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Meng hesitated with a little remorse: "It's just that my subordinates heard Lord Yan say on the way here that the guards around Yan Yushi have entered the city, and the prince has asked you about Gonggong Wu. ”

He said that he wanted to worship again, but was stopped by Xiao Lian, "Hey, I don't blame you, if you hadn't run to recruit troops for me all these years, there would be no need to blame yourself today, and this king has found a solution, Xiao Yi and Yan Zheng are not to be afraid." ”

Xiao Jian said, pointing to the man who had been silent on the side, Chen Meng saw the appearance of the person next to him clearly, with a delicate cold color, and a quiet that was a little out of place with them.

It was Pei Jing, Marquis of Wudu, Pei Jing realized his gaze, so he nodded at him.

The four of them sat down to verify the plan again, and the toss dispersed in the second half of the night, and Chen Meng would protect his safety in front of him as Xiao Lian's personal guard.

It takes a month for Jinzhou to be away from Ningcheng, and the situation in Ningzhou is urgent, so they traveled lightly this time, and the speed was also a cup higher than before, and it was half a month after they arrived in Ningcheng.

As soon as they entered the city, the atmosphere in the city made Yan Zheng and the others feel bad, Du Zhong prescribed medicine for them early in the morning, just in case, and blessed them to go into the city to pay attention to protection, but the scene in the city still made them stunned.

Jinzhou is a southern city, although it is not as good as Ningcheng to master maritime trade, but it is also a small mouth, and the people here can also fish to feed their livelihoods, and can also be sold into other surrounding towns.

But now, there is no impression of the Jiangnan water town, there is no prosperous scene, some are just closed portals, and the Shizhou place in the square in the city is full of people sleeping on the ground, all of them are gray and dirty, and they can't beat their spirits.

They were received by Fu Hui of the forbidden army command room, who was a little thin and a lot darker, and also had a sad face, seeing them cheering up a little bit, seeing this scene Ruan Mingjiao couldn't help but ask the bottom of her heart, "The doors of the houses in the city are closed, and even the shops are closed, what's going on." ”

Fu Hui seemed to have been opened to the chatterbox, first sighed lightly, and then spoke, "In this situation in the city, the shops don't dare to open at all, as soon as the door opens, those homeless people rush in to rob, as if they are crazy, after the lower officials send someone to stop it, they are still like that, if they stop it too much, they will say that the court does not want them, and treat them as outcasts." ”

"In this way, the lower officials are still afraid that they will talk nonsense and chill the hearts of other people, so they can only set up such a place and give some rice porridge and meals every day, but the pressure is too great, and I have to ask Your Majesty."

"The imperial court has reduced taxes in the past two years, and it is originally impossible to make ends meet, so it is difficult to support a group of people to eat, and they can't let the court support them for a lifetime, why don't you go and find something to do."

Ruan Mingjiao was angry for a while, this was a moral kidnapping, knowing that the emperor didn't like to hear people under him say that he was not doing well, didn't he slap himself in the face when this word came out? Let other border countries know that they will only think that he is incompetent as an emperor and let the people below suffer.

Yan Zheng looked down at her angrily, and a subtle smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, then he turned his head to look at Fu Hui, and asked, "Where did they come from, and why did they come here?" ”

"A small county town in Suizhou, it is said that there was a big flood over there, which washed away the whole town, and these people are survivors who went all the way north to here. Fu Hui groaned slightly, and said their reason.

The two of them were stunned, these people really know how to pick a place, the capital does not dare to go, after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the nickname of the Son of Heaven is not guaranteed, and the mountain of Jinzhou is far away, and the Son of Heaven will only blame the incompetence of the government below and cannot solve the problem.

After the two understood the situation, their first reaction was to change their laziness first, let them do it themselves, and don't always rely on kidnapping the Son of Heaven to put pressure on the government to sit back and enjoy it.

"Then what do you say, what's the matter with the epidemic? I don't think they're in good spirits, but they don't look like they're sick. ”

Yan Zheng thought of the news in his letter, and asked with a little doubt, Fu Hui seemed to expect him to ask like this, frowned, and sighed: "It's them, probably caused by the flood, and they didn't eat and sleep well all the way, and they started to get sick half a month ago, which is also the reason why the door of the house in the city is closed, in order to prevent more infection, the family is closed." ”

In the end, he was a little helpless, so Yan Zheng asked him to take the two of them to the courtyard of the government where the patient was placed.
