After being forced into the palace, I became the tyrant's favorite

The morning sun is slightly dew, and the winter sun is slowly.

A deep voice came from inside Mu Yao's palace, the voice was very pleasant, and the people who were guarding outside were completely deaf to what was going on inside the house.

Not long after, he heard voices coming from inside the room, Li Quan responded quickly and walked into the room, "Master."

"Prepare breakfast." Ye Chu's voice came out.

After Li Quanying came down, he ordered the first-class maids to enter the palace to wait on them.

After Ye Chu washed up, he washed Wen Yao himself.

"Where do you have breakfast?" Ye Chu asked.

Wen Yao hummed twice, with sleepiness on his face, and waited for a while before saying: "Just stay here, I don't want to go out."

Ye Chu hugged him from the side, kissed the corner of his eyes, "Did you wake up?"

Wen Yao nodded lazily, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Ye Chu stroked his side face with one hand, and pinched the tip of his nose with the other. Wen Yao was tickled by him, and smiled and slapped his hand away, "itch ah."

"Where is it itching?" Ye Chu's voice was low, Wen Yao took the opportunity to push him away, passed through the hollowed-out embroidered gold horse galloping folding screen, and sat down at the red lacquered round wooden table in front of the outside, Ye Chu followed, Wen Yao smiled at him, patted the wooden bench beside him, and said boldly, "Come, sit here."

As soon as Ye Chu sat down, the maids came in one after another, served dishes, and then waited aside with their heads bowed.

Wen Yao didn't like being stared at while eating, so he turned his head and said to them: "It's none of your business here, you all go down and rest."

All the court ladies blessed themselves and retreated cautiously.

Wen Yao tasted the fat chicken with mushrooms made by Kou Yuchu. The meat was tender and delicious. Wen Yao commented: "It's much better than before."

"Try it too." He gave some to Ye Chu.

Ye Chu lowered his head and took a sip, then put down the bamboo chopsticks and stopped eating, "It's a bit greasy."

"Really, I think the taste is okay." Wen Yao said, "What did Brother Li bring back last night?"

"Eat first." Ye Chu said.

Wen Yao refused, winked at him, and said, "Let's talk now, it's just a matter of eating and thinking, so it's convenient for thinking."

Ye Chu laughed helplessly, "Li Quan still sneaked in from the place that night, but this time he didn't smell the fragrance of roses. He went around the front yard and found nothing. There were indeed a few servants in the front yard, and then he went to Zhong Xin's bedroom."

Someone in the front yard confirmed that Wei was not lying.

"And then?" he asked.

"Then he saw a man in black who seemed to be looking for something."

"Did the man in black fight Brother Li?" Wen Yao asked.

Ye Chu nodded, "Li Quan said that his moves are somewhat familiar."

familiar?

Wen Yao's head jumped suddenly, and he asked quickly, "Will it be someone who fought against Brother Li before, or someone from the palace?"

"This is very important...Did Brother Li say anything?"

"No." Ye Chu said, "He can't remember either."

Wen Yao felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Now even the only clue is broken, it seems that we can only start from what He Linjia said Wen Sheng asked her to pick up Wen Ningzi.

Suddenly, Wen Yao asked: "Does Wen Ningxin know this?"

Ye Chu asked back: "Yaoyao wants to ask her?"

"You can try." Wen Yao nodded.

No opportunity should be missed right now.

But there is one more thing than this, which needs to be resolved immediately. When Wen Yao mentioned this matter, Ye Chu only looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, Yaoyao has already sent someone to investigate."

"Who did you send?" It definitely couldn't be Li Quan.

"Remember Wang Cai?"

Wen Yao blinked, "Who is that?"

"Supervisor Shang Shan is in charge of the eunuch."

Wen Yao had some impressions, he had seen that man in Xiangshan Palace before.

"He can also kung fu?" Wen Yao asked.

Ye Chu just smiled and said nothing, Wen Yao guessed it, he was still puzzled at the time, but after thinking about it, he figured it out, how could the people around Ye Chu be ordinary people, there must be something special about him.

"What did you find?" Wen Yao asked.

Ye Chu shook his head, saying that there is no result now.

Wen Yao was inevitably a little disappointed, but he soon felt relieved after thinking about it. If they could investigate it so quickly, they wouldn't have to spend so much energy.

He suddenly regretted not being able to finish the novel at the beginning, otherwise he could have predicted it in advance, but now his eyes are darkened, and he has no clue at all.

Ye Chu looked at him without speaking, Wen Yao took his hand and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I was thinking—" After a long time, Ye Chu said meaningfully, "Did we think wrong from the beginning?"

"What do you mean?" Wen Yao was slightly taken aback.

"Whether it's Wen Sheng's confession, He Linjia's words, or what the five people said that night, all these words can be connected together." Ye Chu stared at him and said slowly.

"He Linjia is very sure that Shen Ran is not a traitor, but he can't tell who the traitor is, and the 'adult' he said is very important. It is probably that person who set up this game, waiting for us Get in, and catch the last one."

"You mean that he wants to take advantage of this incident to confer the title on the little prince, and finally overthrow Ziyu and let him succeed him, and then he will bring the emperor to the princes." Wen Yao frowned deeply.

Meng Jiang Cangzhong believes that they know?

Or did they rebel too?Or were they also kept in the dark?

"It's possible." Ye Chu said, "The man rescued the two from Wan Feng. As long as we can find them, we can draw that man out."

"Do you think he will show up?" Wen Yao asked back, he didn't think such a person would show up rashly because of the two subordinates, otherwise He Linjia wouldn't have been imprisoned in Lin'an Palace for so long.

Ye Chu frowned, as if he was also thinking about the feasibility of this method.

Wen Yao went back to Minshifu after eating too much breakfast, and there was no delay in opening a branch, he had to speed up the progress.

At this time, Xu Yurong brought Xu Feng in from outside the store, and nodded slightly after seeing him, "Brother Wen is back today."

"Brother Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you these few days." Wen Yao cupped his hands and said.

In recent days, Liuqing's headaches still occur frequently, so Xu Yurong is by his side all day long.

Wen Yao hasn't talked to Liu Qing for a while, and he doesn't know what the young man is thinking at this time.

Dr. Xu said that he had a brain injury when he was young, and it was not easy to recover completely.

Wen Yao guessed that there might be blood clots in Liuqing's brain, otherwise he would not have frequent headaches. Of course, it is also possible that the cerebellum was injured, resulting in the loss of part of the memory, or the confusion and overlapping of memories.

He had read some psychology books before, and thinking of the symptoms described in them, he was a little worried.

Xu Yurong smiled and said nothing, and took Xu Feng to the backyard. Xu Feng was carrying large and small bags in his hand. Wen Yao guessed that these should be for Liu Qing's body.

Thinking of Xu Yurong's sincerity towards Liuqing, Wen Yao felt a little relieved, at least there were people who really cared about him.

Kong Wu on the side watched Xu Yurong go straight to the backyard with a blank expression. Wen Yao wanted to find some time to ask Kong Wu, but he was afraid that he would mess up the matter, and even now he has not been able to talk to Kong Wu about it. Clear things.

Zhou Yun and Shun'an went to several neighboring counties. Wen Yao thought about what had happened recently, and sent Zhou Li and Zhou Rong there. It would take them at least half a month.

A group of people rode four horses before Zhou Yun learned how to ride a horse. Everyone slowed down in order to accommodate him. Shun An talked to Zhou Li from time to time. I'm sorry.

"Can you get used to it?"

Shun An looked confused, "What?"

Zhou Li chuckled, "Are you used to riding a horse?"

"It's, it's okay." Shun'an was dazed by his gazing and smiling, and stammered.

"I don't see you riding a horse often."

Shun'an quickly followed his words and nodded, "Yes, I seldom ride a horse."

Zhou Li smiled again, "How do you feel about life on horseback?"

"How should I put it, I used to be in a farm family, and I didn't go to a private school for a long time. I did farm work at home... At that time, I hoped that I could have my own donkey, and I could go wherever I wanted, and be free."

Zhou Li nodded in agreement, and asked again, "Why a donkey?"

Shun An smiled, "Maybe I think horses are too expensive."

Horses are indeed not cheap for ordinary people. A horse is half a year's income for an ordinary household.

"At that time, I was lying on the landslide after work, thinking about when I could leave the village..." Shun'an fell into the memory, with a beautiful and longing smile on his lips, "Ah, I used to have a miscellaneous diary, I spent it I bought it for ten pennies, and it was nearly torn by me at the time."

"It looks good?" Zhou Li asked, pulling the reins, getting closer to Shun'an's brown horse.

Shun An shook his head first, then nodded again, "It's not particularly good-looking, but there was only one book at that time, and I still remember the stories in it."

"What did you write?" Zhou Li asked, feeling a little uncomfortable suddenly. Although he was born in a rural area, he still had spare money for a book of miscellaneous notes.

"I just wrote about a farmer who sold his field. When he had money, he bought a donkey. He traveled far and wide, met many friends, and had a good time with them..."

"On the way, he rescued the steward of a mansion. The steward was very grateful to him and gave him a sum of money. The farmer took the money and continued on the road. When he passed a small town, he found that the county magistrate inside was doing all kinds of evil, so he joined forces with him. He killed the knights of the rivers and lakes, and robbed the county magistrate's mansion."

"After that, the county magistrate didn't dare to do anything wrong again."

"anything else?"

There is more than one story in Miscellaneous Notes, Zhou Li has read one or two of them before.

"There is also a female hero, the kind who is a chivalrous hero." Shun'an said with a smile: "I was very envious when I saw it."

"Now?" Zhou Li looked at him, and Shun An saw an unknown emotion in his eyes, which made his heart thump.

"Now..." He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, Qiqi Ai said: "I think this is pretty good now."

"Is Li Quan your master?"

"Ah?" Shun'an hesitated and said, "Yes, yes."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Li noticed that something was wrong with him, Shun'an's cheeks were mostly red, Zhou Li thought he was frozen by the cold wind, so he quickly flew behind him, embracing him from behind, Shun'an's ears were red, and he couldn't speak Can't tell, "You, you—what, passed, passed?"

"Frozen?" Zhou Li raised his hand to touch his forehead. He didn't feel hot or had a fever. He asked with concern, "Why is your face so hot? Are you uncomfortable?"

Shun'an felt that he was like a boiled shrimp at this time, so red that it was translucent and shiny.

"No, no, I just feel a little cold." Shun An stammered, and only realized what he said after finishing speaking.

Immediately wanted to change his words, Zhou Li had already said, "Why didn't you tell me when you were cold."

Shun'an was thinking about the use of telling you, and something stuck behind him, the heat source continued to flow into his back, and the man's heat was in his ears, "Is it still cold now?"

The oncoming hot air tickled Shun'an's cochlea, he moved his head to avoid the hot air, and said, "It's not cold anymore, thank you."

"Call me by my name." Zhou Li said suddenly.

Shun'an was stunned for a moment, Zhou Li only felt that he looked cute in a daze, and without thinking much, he stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and said, "Call me by my name directly from now on."

"Oh, oh." Shun'an nodded his head a few times like a woodpecker.

Zhou Li raised his hand and rubbed it a few times.

There are still several hours on the way to Lin County, and Shun'an feels that if he stays like this, he probably won't be able to think.

In the Jingdu Minshifu, the business is still booming. Wen Yao incorporated the rice balls from the previous spring banquet into the new dishes, which are very popular among diners. Many people even spend a lot of money to invite the cooks from the Minshifu to the house Make a birthday banquet.

After thinking about it, Wen Yao felt that this was also a good business opportunity, so he agreed to the housekeeper of Lin's mansion to prepare a birthday banquet at the mansion three days later.

He planned to ask Zhang Mu to exercise. Zhang Mu's courage has grown a lot compared to before. When he told him about it, Zhang Mu said that he could do it well. Wen Yao patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Believe in yourself, It's like being in a restaurant."

Zhang Mu nodded firmly.

Wen Yao thought that if he took over this business, many people would invite them to cook at that time. This is not a long-term solution. One is that the restaurant does not have so many people, and the other is that the cost will increase. Think again Finally, he decided that only customized members had such powers.

At the same time, the customized membership has changed from 500 taels a month to 800 taels a month.

When he sent someone to follow up the news, many diners said that they could not pay the fee, so they could only downgrade to senior members.

Xiaode counted the list of custom-made members, which dropped from fifty to twenty, and 30 of them have become senior members.

Seeing that Wen Yao wasn't worried at all, Xiaode didn't say much.

Wen Yao limits the number of custom-made members, and only increases the number by two per month. At the same time, there are only 50 custom-made members in total, and if they fail to spend 100 taels in the restaurant that month, one point will be deducted, and if all five points are deducted, then Cannot continue to renew to become a customized member.

As soon as this matter was brought up, Xiaode and the others were very puzzled, and Liu Qing's headache improved a lot. At this time, there was a short meeting, and he was in the study, and asked: "My little master, what if the diners are not happy?" manage?"

"Why are they unhappy?" Wen Yao asked back.

"If we do this, they will feel very unkind." Liu Qing whispered.

Wen Yao said: "It's not their decision to be kind or not, but us. We must increase the number of customized members. If everyone is a customized member, they will not feel any rarity over time."

The more unobtainable or difficult to obtain, people will always cherish it extraordinarily.

Obviously Liu Qing didn't understand this truth, Wen Yao looked at him and said, "Don't worry, they won't have any complaints, if you don't trust them, why don't you trust me?"

Of course Liu Qing believed in Wen Yao, and nodded sharply upon hearing this.

Wen Yao smiled and said, "That's right."

After the agreement was made, Chen Yunfeng was called to write the notice, and the notice was posted in the afternoon. In the early morning of the next day, a large number of diners gathered outside the restaurant.

Ye Chu was coming down here in a carriage, and the road was almost blocked by these people. Fortunately, the people from the Duzhi Prison opened the way ahead, and entered through the back door smoothly.

Ye Chu got out of the carriage and asked, "What happened just now?"

"Back to the master, a large number of people gathered outside." Li Quan said.

It was the carriage he was driving just now.

"Why are there so many people here suddenly?" Ye Chu frowned, fearing that some of these people would come to assassinate Wen Yao.

"The subordinates don't know." Li Quan said.

Ye Chu didn't speak, just looked at Li Quan knowingly, and found a man dressed as a servant in the backyard and asked, "Why are there so many people in front?"

That person used to be a guard, and when he saw that it was Li Quan, he wanted to salute, but Li Quan stopped him, "There is no need to be so polite when you are outside, and tell me what happened."

The guard told Li Quan the whole story. After listening, Li Quan said: "Please trouble this little brother."

Ye Chu was also at the side, and the guard's voice was not low, so he could hear it clearly.

"Did it come out from afar?"

"Yes—it was made by the little master." Li Quan said hastily.

Ye Chu didn't say anything more, and went directly to the Paowu, passing by a few day laborers, everyone took a second look at this man exuding nobleness.

"Who is that person?"

"do not know."

"I haven't seen it before."

"To be able to come to the backyard, it should be a friend of the owner of the restaurant."

"What are you chewing on? We are here to work, not to be gossips." Someone lectured me. This person is in his thirties, looks tough, and has a gangster look on him, but he is a decent farmer. Han, I couldn't help but say a few words when I heard these day-workers gossip.

They were all part-time workers who were recruited together yesterday.

Yesterday, some young men from Minshifu went to their village to look for excellent cooks, but they didn't find the cooks and took them away instead.

After the selection, these people stayed. As long as they worked four hours a day, they could get two taels of silver a month, which was enough for their families in the village to live for several months.

Therefore, many of them cherish this job.

Ye Chu went all the way to the kitchen, Li Quan consciously stayed outside, Ye Chu walked in, Wen Yao was the only one left in the kitchen, Ye Chu looked at people from behind without saying a word.

Wen Yao was very involved, and after waiting for a while, he realized that he was being stared at by something, and turned his head instantly, seeing Ye Chusha, he was shocked and said, "No——why are you here?"

"How long has it been since I've been here, why don't you ask me to come down, drink water?" Wen Yao hurriedly said, a little emotionally, "I'll make tea."

"No, no, no." Ye Chu grabbed him, wrapped him in his arms, and put the tip of his nose against the tip of his nose, "I just came to see, what are you going to do?"

"Make breakfast, do you want to eat?" Wen Yao still had wheat flour in his hand, so he didn't put it on Ye Chu's shoulder, and just rubbed his sharp jaw affectionately with his side face.

"eat."

He didn't have breakfast, he just came here to have dinner with Wen Yao.

Wen Yao hummed lightly, smacked his face, and said, "Let go of me first, don't get the wheat flour in my hand on your clothes."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Ye Chu held him tightly.

Wen Yao laughed and said: "Let go of me first, I still have to make breakfast, you are not hungry, I am almost exhausted from hunger."

Ye Chu let go of him with a grin, and Wen Yao turned around to make vegetable cakes for the morning, red radish and yams for vegetables, leeks for another pot, and a savory mushroom lean meat porridge cooked on the stove.

This kind of mushroom is similar to shiitake mushroom. Wen Yao didn't know what it was called by people in this era, so he named it mushroom.

"What is this?" Ye Chu asked.

Estimated to be hungry for the smell.

Wen Yao smiled, "This is lean meat porridge with mushrooms."

"Mushrooms are the hairy things in the mountains?" Ye Chu asked.

He saw it on the hill behind the palace.

"Yes, some mushrooms cannot be eaten, but this kind is edible and non-toxic." Wen Yao said, "The meat here is lean pork, and Xiaode cut the meat into minced meat, which tastes very good when added to the porridge. good."

Ye Chu nodded in agreement.

"I'm making two kinds of cakes now." Wen Yao said.

Ye Chu followed his gaze, and Wen Yao introduced, "This kind of leek cake, which I have already wrapped, is made of leeks and wheat flour."

"I'm making red radish and potato cakes now." Wen Yao smiled at him.

Ye Chu said, "Did you use red radish and yams?"

"That's right, this one uses less oil, and the pancakes are very crispy and not too greasy. It tastes good when served with porridge." Wen Yao smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked.

Ye Chu could see that he liked eating this very much, and after secretly noting it down, he stood silently aside, watching how Wen Yao did it carefully, and after reading it, he also memorized the steps clearly, thinking about when he would make it for Yaoyao himself.

Wen Yao's speed is very fast, and he can have breakfast in a short time.

He prepared a lot of breakfast, which was enough for everyone in the restaurant, but because Ye Chu was in Liuqing, they didn't eat at the stone table in the backyard, but went back to the front of the hall to eat, and they sat together and talked about what happened recently.

More and more people gathered outside, and the sound became louder and louder. Wen Yao could hear it in the backyard. He ate a leek pancake and asked, "What's the sound? There are many people outside?"

"When I came in just now, I saw many people gathered at the door." Ye Chu said, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened, just an announcement, I didn't expect such a strong appeal." Wen Yao took a mouthful of mushroom and lean meat porridge, and hurriedly called Ye Chu to eat.

"What notice?" Ye Chuduo asked.

"As for the customized membership, I plan to increase the customized membership to 800 taels per month." Wen Yao said in detail: "It was only decided yesterday, and I recently accepted a job to prepare a birthday banquet at home, so I thought that everyone could not accept it. After a long time, it seems that restaurants have no advantages, and it’s not enough to just set up memberships, and you have to urge them to consume, so I came up with a deduction system.”

"Each customized member has five points, but if the consumption is less than 100 taels in a month, it will be reduced to a senior member."

"Premium members and ordinary members don't have this."

Ye Chu understood, and it was the same reason that rare things are more expensive.

Wen Yao's doing so has no effect on ordinary people. Although they can't taste new dishes in the first place, the prices of restaurants are not particularly expensive, except for a few new ones and the food that appeared at the banquet. Someone bought it and copied the price on the black market.

Just like the cake before, it was copied to 1000 taels on the black market.

After breakfast, Wen Yao pulled Ye Chu out through the back door. Wearing light-colored Chinese clothes, Wen Yao led Ye Chu to look into the crowd, and said in a low voice, "There are so many people, it seems that you can come back later." Good news."

Ye Chu nodded in agreement, and the two walked along the stream to the entrance of the alley. After walking for a while, Ye Chu asked, "Where are you going?"

"Walking casually, honestly staying in the house is not good for your health, especially for Ziyu, you should come out more often." Wen Yao whispered.

"Okay." Ye Chu had a gentle smile in his eyes.

"Did Wang find anything?" Wen Yao asked in a voice that the two of them could hear.

"Wang Cai hasn't come back yet." Ye Chu said.

The two walked around Dongshi, Wen Yao said, "Shall we go back to the palace now?"

"Li Quan is still in Minshifu." Ye Chu said, implying that he disagreed.

Wen Yao said, "Don't tell him yet, just the two of us, let's go to Lin'an Palace to see the six-year-old prince."

Hearing this, Ye Chu frowned slightly. He didn't want Wen Yao to be involved too much. Right now, he didn't know who wanted Wen Yao's life. He was afraid that Wen Yao would leave without his knowledge like the elder brother and the second elder brother.

Sensing his expression, Wen Yao took his hand with both hands, rubbed it carefully, and said softly, "Don't worry, they can't hurt me. I carry a secret spray with me now."

Moreover, he also learned some self-protection moves from Kong Wu, which are more than enough to escape.

Ye Chu was still worried.

"Ziyu, don't worry." Wen Yao's voice softened a bit, "While you are worried about me, I am also worried about you. Ziyu, I assure you that I will not put myself in danger."

Ye Chu already knew that he had made up his mind, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

The two sneaked into the palace quietly, and went straight to the side courtyard of Lin'an Palace, where the six-year-old prince lived. Passing through the screen wall, a child's voice came, "When can I go back?"

"Doesn't the prince like this place?" the voice of the maid.

"I don't like it, it's too big here, and I haven't seen Sister Bi'er for several days."

The maid's voice paused, "Miss Bi'er has other things to do, and it will take some time before she can come back to serve the prince."

……

Wen Yao pulled Ye Chu in and walked in, the maid was startled, she was about to kneel immediately after seeing the person coming, Wen Yao made a gesture, and the maid didn't kneel down to salute.

Wen Yao walked up to the little prince, and asked softly with a smile: "Do you want to see sister Bi'er?"

"Who are you?" The little prince asked with his head tilted.

Following his example, Wen Yao tilted his head, and replied softly, "I'm here to play with the little prince."

"Can you take me to see sister Bi'er?" the little prince asked again.

Wen Yao roughly understood that he liked that court lady very much, or trusted that court lady.

"Of course." Wen Yao said with a smile.

"Really?" The little prince's round eyes lit up immediately.

Wen Yao nodded affirmatively, and said, "But the little prince has to answer a question for me before he can meet Sister Bi'er."

The little prince took a step back, with a somewhat reserved face, and after a while he asked cautiously, "Wh, what's the question?"

"This question is very simple. You tell brother, who has sister Bi'er been in contact with?"

The little prince seemed to be lost in thought, his dark eyes rolled around and around, and after a while he said: "A man came here."

Wen Yao glanced back at Ye Chu abruptly, indicating that he had something to do, and Ye Chu gave him a doting smile.

"What kind of man?" Wen Yao asked, "Do you remember?"

The little prince thought seriously for a while after hearing the words, and finally shook his head, "Looks older than my brother, here I have a beard, and here I have it too, it's so long—"

He compared his nose, then compared his chin, and then moved to his heart.

Wen Yao understood, and continued to ask: "What did he say?"

The little prince shook his head for a while.

Wen Yao patted his head and asked softly, "I really can't remember?"

The little prince nodded.

Wen Yao said, "Want some candy?"

"Think..." The little prince hesitated for a while before saying.

"Brother here has a piece of candy, which is very sweet and delicious." Wen Yao looked at him, paying attention to his every move and subtle expression on his face, and found that he pursed his lips, and then said: "But it's so good The candy you eat can only be given to obedient and good children, are you a good child?"

"Yes, it is."

"Good boy." Wen Yao squatted down, touched his little head, and took out a candy from the front, "Take it and eat it."

The little prince took it and whispered, "Thank you brother."

Wen Yao stood up and asked softly, "Is there such a person?"

"I can't remember." There were so many ministers in the court, it was impossible for him to remember everyone's characteristics.

Wen Yao was a little disappointed, Ye Chu relieved: "At least now I know the general appearance of that person."

Wen Yao nodded in agreement, "That's right, wait for Wang to come back and see if I can find other news."

After speaking, he glanced at the little prince who was eating candy with a satisfied face.

The child's appearance has nothing in common with Ye Chu.

If he hadn't known that the child was the child of the first emperor and a talented person, he would have suspected that the child was not Ye Chu's younger brother.

When the two came out of the side courtyard, Ye Chu suddenly took Wen Yao to the bedroom of Lin'an Palace.

Wen Yao asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I don't believe that child is my younger brother." Ye Chu lowered his voice.

"I've never heard my father mention it."

"Father's affection for mother and concubine is not fake."

Wen Yao suddenly remembered what Ye Chu said a few months ago. He couldn't understand it at the time, but now he suddenly understood what Ye Chu said at that time.

That is to say, Ye Chu knew from the beginning?

Then why didn't he dispose of the kid?

Wen Yao couldn't help but take another look at him, Ye Chu caught it sharply, and seemed to be able to think of what Wen Yao was thinking, "No matter who his parents are, that child is innocent."

"That's right!" Wen Yao nodded firmly. He just likes Ye Chu. His Ziyu obviously has a kind heart, but was sprayed by those people as a tyrant. How could his Ziyu look like a tyrant!

"But the person who used the child must be found out, no matter who it is, he must die." Ye Chu's voice was a little cold.

"That's right, but you can keep him for now, maybe that man knows about the rape."

Ye Chu thought so too.

It was just after You hour that the king came back.

After seeing Ye Chu and Wen Yao, Wang Cai said: "I went to the hometown of that talented person, and found out that the talented person once had a very good bamboo horse. The two grew up together, and the family even made a marriage for them. Originally planned to get married in a year, but didn't want to have a general election in the palace, so Cairen was forced to enter the palace."

"After entering the palace, I have never seen the late emperor."

Ye Chu suddenly said: "Do you know when she entered the palace?"

"It's been too long, and my subordinates haven't been able to find out." Wang Cai said with a bow.

Wen Yao looked at Ye Chu and said, "Ziyu, do you still remember when the general election was?"

Ye Chu said: "During my father's reign, there was a general election every four years. This is the rule set by my ancestors, even if my father didn't—"

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, and Wen Yao already knew the answer.

The first emperor and the widow had a deep and loving relationship. If the eldest prince and the second prince were born before meeting the widow, Wen Yao would not be surprised. After all, every emperor bears the burden of being a royal, and when he meets the widow Concubine, although the first emperor did not abandon this rule, he turned a deaf ear to the beautiful women who were sent to the palace.

Under such circumstances, how could that talented person give birth to a prince.

I'm afraid that man only wants to push the little prince out because he has this bit of evidence. After Ye Chu is pulled down, he will reveal the truth to the public, or use it to threaten the young prince.

Wen Yao had to say that the man was too naive.

He just thought that this would bring Ye Chu down, even if the plan succeeds, Ye Chu would at most confer titles and fiefdoms on the little prince when he became an adult.

Wen Yao didn't want to complain about how strange that person's brain circuit was.

At this time, Ye Chu signaled Wang Cai to continue.

"The subordinates also discovered that the bamboo horse who has not been talented for a few years has also entered the palace, and he has become a guard of the Habayashi Army."

"Can you find him?" Wen Yao hurriedly asked.

"Yes." Wang Cai said, "According to the investigation of my subordinates, the guard can still stay in the palace."

Wen Yao looked at Ye Chu and said, "That person probably knows something."

"You find people out."

Wang Cai saluted and said, "Yes."

"Go down." After Ye Chu finished speaking, Wang Cai hurriedly retreated.

"Find out the person first, and then we'll figure out a way..." Wen Yao said, "Does Ziyu think this matter has something to do with Prime Minister Right?"

"I can't tell." He consciously told him that he probably had something to do with Zhong Xin.

Wen Yao pulled people to sit down in front of the wooden bench, "I always feel that these things are like a huge iron net, which traps us all in it. Once we do something, people hiding in the dark will be able to notice it. , and then completely disrupted our plans."

From Jiang Sushang's murder, no, it should be from Su Yunmian's murder more than ten years ago, to the death of the widowed concubine, and then to the successive deaths of the eldest prince and the second prince. He doesn't know what happened in between. Looking at this reason, and the fact that Wen Sheng mentioned that a group of Jiang Hu people were found to wipe out the Li family, leaving only the young Li Quan, what kind of Jiang Hu people?Who is the wandering doctor Wen Sheng is talking about?

Su Yunmian's body was not found in Su Yunmian's tomb. Who would have taken her body away?

Could it be that Su Yunmian didn't die at all?

Wen Sheng was cheated?

Be deceived by the wandering doctor he said?

Wen Yao felt that all the known clues had become entangled and tangled spider webs at this moment, making his thinking messy, and no matter where he pulled, he would be stained with silk webs.

When Li Quan and the others sneaked into the Zhongfu, Li Quan once said that he smelled the fragrance of roses, but the same place did not smell the fragrance of roses when he went there for the second time. Why is this so?

There were no guards or servants in other parts of the Zhongfu, but there were several servants in the front yard. Li Quan went to the front yard to look for them, but still found nothing. The five of them acted together that night. When they came back, Li Quan said that they were all there. They did not report immediately that night, but waited until the next day to report. During this period, except for Li Quan, will the others confess to each other?

Or someone returned to the Zhong Mansion and took out the evidence found earlier.

But thinking like this doesn't work. What is the purpose of that person doing this?

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Chu interrupted his thinking.

Wen Yao looked at him and said, "I was wondering if someone had sneaked into the Zhong Mansion that night, otherwise Li Quan would not have found anything when he went there for the second time."

"Zhong Xin may have received the news in advance." Ye Chu looked at him and said.

"What do you mean?" Wen Yao's heart trembled, and then his heartbeat quickened: "Ziyu said that Zhong Xin also rebelled, and he colluded with the traitor, and the traitor was in the palace, no—it should be said that People are by our side, he knew we would send people to investigate Zhongxin, so he informed him in advance to destroy all these things?"

"It will not be destroyed." Ye Chu said: "That person will not let Zhong Xin destroy the evidence, because—"

"I see!" Wen Yao stood up abruptly, "Because he doesn't believe Zhong Xin, right? That person wanted to use these evidences to blackmail Zhong Xin, so he deliberately leaked the news to Zhong Xin and let Zhong Xin Xin hid the evidence, which he then took away to threaten him in the future."

"The man in black that Li Quan saw might be a traitor. That man is looking for evidence, or he is planning to find another place to hide the evidence." Wen Yao was a little confused, "But why didn't he hide in the Zhong Mansion? outside?"

"That man wasn't looking for something or hiding something, he just made a cover for Li Quan to see." Ye Chu said half-voiced.

Wen Yao was stunned immediately, and after a while, he suddenly realized, took Ye Chu's hand, and said, "This makes sense, the man knew that Li Quan would go the next night, so he went to Zhong Xin's dormitory specially. , pretending to rummage through something.”

"In this way, we can be sure that the traitor is in the palace."

"Judging from the clues from that night, the scope can be further narrowed down." Ye Chu clicked, and Wen Yao understood, "The traitor is in the room of the five."

"That being said, I think
