Bright Spring

...Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked again: "By the way, I told you to pick up that female Taoist priest. Where is she?"

Chen Dachui's face was a bit ugly, and he said: "Please forgive me, my lord, we couldn't see her. Wang Gui heard from the eunuch in the palace that the Holy Majesty specially built a Taoist temple in the palace, and asked the female Taoist priest to stay in the palace. , Praying for the queen every day..."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

Chen Dachui was still talking about some minutiae.Zhu Gaoxu didn't listen carefully in a trance, and walked back and forth on the floor for a while, before he finally said: "You go back and take a shower first, you don't need to be on duty these few days."

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "I will retire at the end."

Zhu Gaoxu was the only one left in the study, and Miao Jin's face soon appeared in his mind.The charming almond eyes tucked from the corners of the eyes are a little sad, as if they are preoccupied, and occasionally they show a smile, but it is very sad.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a pain in his heart.Scattered lingering and beautiful images flashed through his mind, and his steps gradually became chaotic.

Countless chaotic emotions went back and forth in Zhu Gaoxu's heart for a long time.He sat on the chair next to the case, let out a long breath, and the annoyance followed!

When he left Beijing at the beginning of the year, if he thought of a way to pick up Miao Jin immediately, why would he be heaving a sigh now! ?

Some things are delayed for a while, and they will really be fleeting.

Zhu Gaoxu was very depressed, and at this moment he couldn't help but think of Miao Jin's wonderful body and the scene of being caressed by Zhu Di's hand.

He suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table, "Bang Dang!" and fell to the ground suddenly, and the porcelain splattered in all directions!His face has flushed|red.

Several court ladies walked to the door of the study room, bent over and carefully looked inside. Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's angry expression, they lingered outside and didn't dare to come in for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Gaoxu still calmed down a little.Apart from throwing a teacup, he didn't do anything impulsive.

After all, this is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing... His girlfriend in the previous life took the initiative to throw herself into someone else's arms, so he couldn't bear it!Otherwise, is it necessary to kill someone because of this?If he had to risk his life at every turn, he might not grow that big.

In his previous life, he didn't dare to kill people, because he would be severely punished and pay the heaviest price!But now Zhu Gaoxu dares to kill people and do many serious things, but does he dare to kill Zhu Di?

Zhu Gaoxu finally calmed down and thought: Zhu Di must at least look after the Queen's face, maybe he won't persecute Miaojin too much?What's more, if Zhu Di used force, with Miao Jin's temperament, he might not live in peace and pray for blessings in the palace.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better.

... There are several beautiful wives and concubines in the Palace of the King of Han, as well as many young court ladies, but Zhu Gaoxu slept alone in the bedroom all night, and he was silent all day and night.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu finally sobered up a lot.After washing and eating, he took the dossier brought back by Chen Dachui and came to the study room of the Chengyun Hall, turned his screen back and looked at the dirty book again.

After looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything worth caring about in the booklet.The first few pages were about a pirate leader named Chen Zuyi, and he wrote a lot; Chen Zuyi seemed to be a character, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't care too much.

He simply flipped to the incomplete part in the middle... I found out yesterday that a few pages were torn in the middle of this booklet.

On the front page of the incomplete place, a paragraph of text soon caught his attention: Yao Fengji, a native of Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture.Zhu Gaoxu was first attracted by the "Yao" surname, and then realized that Yao Guangxiao seems to be from Suzhou too!

Zhu Gaoxu quickly looked at the text behind the incomplete part, and read it very carefully, word by word.

Later, it was mentioned that Yao Fengji was a hundred households of Jinyiwei.Jin Yiwei found out that he was in collusion with the pirate Chen Zuyi, so Yao Fengji fled with his son and daughter, and his wife committed suicide at home; Caught and brought to justice.

How did Yao Fengji collude with the pirates, what did he do, and how was he found out?Zhu Gaoxu touched the torn place in the middle, frowned and thought for a long time.

The point is, why were a few pages torn out of Beizhen Fusi's dossier?

...Zhu Gaoxu wiped the booklet with a handkerchief, put it back in his bosom, and left the study.

He went straight to the harem and walked towards the corridor buildings on the east side.The door of the courtyard where Yao Ji lived was open, so Zhu Gaoxu walked in, and saw a maid sitting on the eaves washing clothes, and another maid sweeping the courtyard.

When they looked up, the maid who was washing clothes stood up immediately, and the other threw away the broom and knelt down and said, "My servant pays homage to the lord!"

"Is Yao Ji in the house?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

A court lady said: "Go back to the prince, Miss Yao is inside, and the maidservant will go in and call her immediately."

As soon as the words were finished, Yao Ji had already walked to the door of a room, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and she bowed politely, "I can't welcome you, please forgive me, my lord."

She was wearing a light red half-arm on her upper body and a white skirt on her lower body.Her hair had grown to her neck, but she couldn't brush it back; today she wasn't wearing a hat, but her hair looked crisp and smooth, like a high school girl's hair.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little strange.

He nodded and said: "We said in the room...you don't need to serve tea, just go about your own business."

The maids replied: "Yes."

When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the room, he heard a "sighting" call, but the cat grew faster than Yao Ji's hair, and it was already a big cat.There is a partition in this room, and there is a chair and a table outside the partition. The chair is covered with a soft futon, and the table is covered with paper, pens and inkstones with wet ink.

He turned around and closed the door first.

Seeing this, Yao Ji pursed her red lips, walked to the window calmly, and put down the curtain behind the window.Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, and blurted out: "I didn't want to do that."

Yao Ji blushed immediately, hung up the curtain again, and said softly, "I'm not..."

"Let's talk in the warm pavilion inside." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the partition door.

Yao Ji followed in and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a round stool, pondered for a moment before saying, "Does Yao Ji still remember where she was born, is it Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture?"

"Yes." Yao Ji replied.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice, "Yao Guangxiao too."

Yao Ji was silent for a moment, then said: "He is my uncle from the same clan. I thought the prince had already guessed that we are relatives, both surnamed Yao."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I also know a person from Changzhou County, also surnamed Yao."

"Oh?" Yao Ji raised her slender eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little nervous.

Zhu Gaoxu observed her expression calmly, wondering if she might have an accomplice surnamed Yao?He also said: "This person is from Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture. He used to be a family of Jinyiwei. Later, he was convicted of collaborating with the pirate Chen Zuyi. This person and his son and daughter are nowhere to be seen. His wife hanged herself at home... "

He paused and said again: "This person's name is Yao Fengji."

Yao Ji's complexion suddenly changed, her big eyes stared there, her body seemed to freeze all of a sudden.

After a while, Yao Ji asked in a trembling voice, "Where is he?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "I don't know, the court once offered a reward for his arrest, but he has not been brought to justice yet. No one knows where he is."

Yao Ji suddenly sat down on the edge of the bed and stood there in a daze.This girl seems to be only 17 years old this year, but her usual demeanor is very calm and calm. Zhu Gaoxu has hardly seen such a distraught look like today.

Zhu Gaoxu finally uttered his bold guess: "My father's name is Yao Fengji?"

Yao Ji glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, then nodded, "I couldn't remember at first, but I found out after asking others... Where did the prince know?"

Zhu Gaoxu got the confirmation, so he took out the file in his arms, handed it over and said, "The old file of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town."

Yao Ji got up to get it, her eyes hovered on Zhu Gaoxu's face for a long time, "Is the prince helping me find my father?"

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, he also got it by accident, and he didn't know why Du Erlang wanted to get this file out.
