Fragrance in the wind

In the early morning of the next day, the ministers who had retreated from the court privately teased the row of bright red tooth marks on the emperor's neck.

"I don't know which concubine in the harem has such a wild temper on the bed, she dared to bite the emperor... tsk tsk." The speaker suffocated another laugh when he thought of the emperor's appearance in the morning.

Another person said: "Your Majesty seldom enters the harem. I haven't heard of a concubine who is pregnant in recent years. Let's talk about being a man. I heard about it occasionally in the past few years, but then it disappeared." He shook his head as he said. Tsk tsk: "It turns out that they are not wild enough!"

After saying that, the two snickered again.The little tooth mark turmoil was opportunistic, so he got the emperor's preference because of this matter.

Lantai is the place where books are collected in the imperial palaces of the past dynasties. It is the central archives and classics library, and it is also the place where historians compile history.

Through the analysis of Jian Zicong's characteristics, such as hidden weapons, light skills, intelligence, espionage, and even instigating rebellion; from this, it seems that it was definitely not done by one person, and Zizhou deduced that there must be a mysterious organization behind Jian Zicong.

Lantai Lingshi sorted out the relevant books requested by His Royal Highness in chronological order.

After three days of reading, I finally figured out some clues.Looking at the relevant historical materials of the dynasties of the past dynasties, such related organizations do exist.According to the comparison, they all have common characteristics such as intelligence gathering, secret assassination, etc. However, the difference lies in the different organizational forms, different distribution forces, and different natures. For example, some belong to Jianghu sects, while others belong to the imperial court.

It just made Zizhou puzzled. According to what Jian Zicong had mastered was beyond the scope of Jianghu sects, it could only show that they belonged to the imperial court, but obviously Chunyufeng didn't know about the incident in Luxi City. If this is the case, then there are only two points: first, his deduction is wrong; second, Chun Yufeng has lost control of this organization, that is to say, there are other people who saved him.

Zi Zhou threw the bamboo slips in his hand and leaned over his desk to meditate: To gain Chun Yufeng's trust, he would rather reveal his identity to save me and get to know me, maybe this person is the closest person around him.

While thinking, there was an extra robe on his shoulders. Zizhou looked up and saw that it was Su Mo, stretched his waist, and said tiredly, "Is there any news from Xiangzhu?"

"Just as His Highness expected, Concubine Yi's people wanted to spy on His Majesty's diet and daily life, so Xiang Zhu used some tricks to let His Majesty's people find out. After His Majesty found out, he just halved his salary."

"The size of this matter depends entirely on how the emperor sees it." Zizhou asked instead: "Is there any movement from Chunyu Gurui?"

"Because of the lessons learned by the Second Prince's assassination two years ago, Concubine Yi made a big fuss in Zhaoyang Palace and was imprisoned in the Cold Palace. Apart from Xinyue, Concubine Yi is more cautious and even overly protective of the Second Prince's return this time. "

"How to say?"

"The slave feels that the Second Prince is protected by experts."

"How did you meet?"

"Intuition! No evidence has been found yet!"

"In order to prevent what happened two years ago from happening again, it is reasonable to find an expert to protect him." Zi Zhou pondered for a moment, and then instructed: "Notify Xiang Zhu, don't do anything recently, lest someone catch him."

In September of the same year, Chunyufeng sent envoys to the Western Regions, hoping to find a shortcut to the Western Regions, to understand the culture of the Western Regions, and to test the influence of the imperial court's use of troops on the Yi Kingdom to the West.

The next month, the envoys sent to the west were blocked by the Kunlun State, and the Kunlun State-owned pool had a radius of 150 kilometers.

On this day, the emperor took his ministers and princes to the royal garden north of Huaixi to hunt.

When the team marched towards the Fengshui area, Chun Yufeng walked slowly, and asked the ministers behind him: "Lan Qing, are you talking about this place?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the place. Every year in the rainy season, a lot of rainwater flows from the depths of the mountain, but the distance from Weishui River is too close and the drop is too big. Basically, it flows away in vain and wasted." Zhi Li Neishi Lan Zhengchu He said calmly: "I suggest that you can use it to solve the water supply problem in Huaixi City."

The accompanying ministers wanted to continue asking questions, but Chunyufeng stopped talking and continued on his way.

Not long after the hunting team arrived at the royal garden, the gong sounded and the hunting began. In an instant, the trees in the originally quiet mountain forest were shaking, or the horses were galloping, or the bowstring was frequently drawn.

Zizhou tightened the reins, leaped up, found the target, and shot out an arrow. The white rabbit not far away fell down in response, but it was not hit by his arrow, because the arrow he fired was inexplicably shot in the middle. The arrows were knocked down.

Zizhou looked back suddenly, seeing that annoying guy again, he drove the horse to turn to Chunyu Gurui who was behind him, and said unconvinced: "Obviously I saw it first."

Chunyu Gurui smiled politely at him, and replied: "But in the end it was the emperor who shot first, didn't he?"

Zizhou gritted his teeth angrily, couldn't help but give him a white look, and said relentlessly: "In such a big place, why did you follow behind me and shoot the prey I fancy?"

Chunyu Gu Rui raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and jokingly said: "It's just a coincidence." Then he rode away leisurely.

Not willing to show weakness, Zizhou whipped his horse and galloped wildly before he caught up with Chunyu Gurui, followed behind and waited for an opportunity, vowing to win the round.

Seeing Zizhou who was chasing him, Chunyu Gurui asked him: "I don't know how the sixth younger brother thinks what the father said just now?"

"What do I think?" Zizhou teased, "Even the emperor can't figure it out, so how many people in the world can guess father's mind?"

"Father's thoughts...are not all on the sixth brother." Chunyu Gurui's eyes showed sarcasm, and there was a sense of dissatisfaction in his words.

Zizhou's expression changed, and he rode forward: "What do you mean?"

Chunyu Gurui took a look at Zizhou, and explained: "The sixth younger brother Chang Yunshan was besieged, and my father led the imperial army to rescue him. Doesn't that explain his preference for the sixth younger brother?"

Zizhou deliberately expressed surprise, and looked at Chunyu Gurui with a sense of scrutiny: "Brother Erhuang can't do anything without father, maybe he is jealous of something?"

Chunyu Gurui smiled back, then picked up the bow and set up the arrow, locked on the target with sharp eyes, and shot with all his strength, the arrow was just shot down by another arrow that came quickly.

Chunyu Gurui sideways stared at the proud Zizhou meaningfully for a long while, and then rode his horse and slowly approached his horse.

"What are you doing?" Zizhou stared defensively at Chunyu Gurui, who was approaching him, without showing any weakness.

But seeing Chunyu Gurui raised the whip and whipped it fiercely towards Zizhou, Zizhou closed his eyes subconsciously, but the whip landed on the horse's buttocks where he was sitting, and the horse howled in fright and jumped angrily. Get up and run away angrily.

"Chun~Yu~Gu~Rui..." Zizhou's frightened shouts were drowned in the woods.

The end of the hunt was near dusk.

Chunyufeng looked around, but he still couldn't see that gorgeous figure, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Have any of you seen the sixth prince? Where has he gone? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

After everyone was silent for a while, the prime minister bowed his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, maybe the Sixth Highness has forgotten the time for a while, so wait a little longer!"

Chunyu Gurui on the side had a bad feeling, he was just playing a joke on Zizhou, nothing really happened, right?After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell his father the truth.

After hearing this, Chunyufeng was angry and anxious: "A joke? Your sixth brother hasn't come back yet and you still say it's a joke?"

"My son is guilty." Chunyu Gurui bowed his head and knelt down.

At night, there were wild animals coming and going in the Xiling area at any time. Chunyufeng suddenly remembered the death of the prince, and his eyes were filled with fear. You guys don't come back."

After saying that, Chunyu Feng got on his horse.

I saw everyone kneeling down in unison, "Your Majesty, you can't go." "Your Majesty, you are the body of gold, the foundation of the country..."

At this time, Chunyufeng could not listen to any persuasion at all, and the face of Zizhou's fainted face that night in Putuo City appeared in his mind. It had happened once, and he didn't know if he could bear the second time. He drew towards the followers who stood in front of him, and galloped into the woods at full speed.

Seeing this, Fu Zhi hurriedly followed with dozens of imperial guards.On the other hand, Zhao Wan, the prime minister, and Gu Wenshi, who had a gloomy face, hurriedly summoned other ministers to look for them separately.
