Mr. Kezaku

Chapter 46 The Man in the Picture 5

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the room." Zhao Xingduan said.

Chu Yuyang nodded, then hurriedly followed Zhao Xingduan back to the room.

Chu Yuyang and Ke Junyan talked for a long time, and it seemed that it was almost noon.Chu Yuyang went back to the room and immediately poured two big quilts with tea, saying, "My mouth is dry."

"Dry mouth?" Zhao Xingduan frowned and said with a bad expression.

Chu Yuyang said innocently: "That's right, after talking all morning, wouldn't your mouth be dry?"

Zhao Xingduan said expressionlessly, "I thought your mouth would dry up when you saw Ke Junyan."

Chu Yuyang said with a pitiful expression, "You wronged me again."

Zhao Xingduan doesn't like him.

Chu Yuyang took a look, and immediately put the scroll back from Ke Junyan on the table, and said like a treasure: "Duaner, look, what is this?"

Zhao Xingduan glanced at it casually and said, "I gave you another picture of snow plum?"

Chu Yuyang had brought back a picture of snow plums from Ke Junyan before, and this was the second picture he had brought back.

Zhao Xingduan didn't care very much, but when Chu Yuyang opened up his words and glanced again, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"This seal is..." Zhao Xingduan stood up in shock, picked up the picture of Xuemei, and looked at it carefully.

After hearing what Ke Junyan told him, Chu Yuyang decided that this muddy water must be waded.Although he is not the real Chu Yuyang, he has taken over his body anyway, and they treat him so well, so he should do something for others.

Now that he is Chu Yuyang, of course he will not stand by and watch things like redressing his family's grievances.

This matter is complicated and confusing, and it involves a lot of things, so Zhao Xingduan can't escape.Chu Yuyang thought about it, but Zhao Xingduan had to be told about this matter.He's also involved, and potentially calculated.

Chu Yuyang explained the matter to Zhao Xingduan in general, which was much more shocking than seeing this picture of snowy plums.

Zhao Xingduan said, "Impossible."

Chu Yuyang blinked and asked silently.

Zhao Xingduan said: "I don't know much about the Sixteen Guards, but my brother... If he has this power in his hands, why does he ask me to investigate secretly?"

Chu Yuyang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

After Zhao Xingduan finished speaking, he fell silent, as if he had been thinking about what Chu Yuyang said just now, and it was a bit difficult to accept for a while.

Chu Yuyang spread the painting on the table, then took a pen and paper, opened the book of poems, and prepared to decipher all the names on the painting.With this painting, you can know who was involved in that incident back then, and when the time comes to search for it by name, you will definitely be able to find out the truth of the incident.

But as soon as he picked up the brush, he wilted in an instant. If he wrote, he would definitely be exposed.He had never learned soft-brush calligraphy, and he had written a few characters before, but they were so crooked that he couldn't bear to see them.

Zhao Xingduan came back to his senses and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yuyang's eyes lit up, she handed the brush to Zhao Xingduan, and said, "Quickly, I'll flip through the book, and you take notes, let's quickly translate all of these, and then go find someone, don't let others get ahead of you. "

Zhao Xingduan didn't doubt that he was there, so he immediately picked up the pen, and he wrote every word Chu Yuyang translated, and recorded all the names of the groups.

Chu Yuyang said: "Wait, there are so many words in this word, I want to count it."

There are many branches on the picture of snow plum blossoms, which looks very spectacular. They are all big and small plum blossoms. In order to deceive people's eyes and ears, the plum blossoms are painted very vividly. There are several densely clustered together. It is really very difficult to count them clearly.

The two of them have been translating, and they didn't eat at noon.Chu Yuyang was dizzy and felt like she was about to vomit.

Zhao Xingduan said: "Okay, let's talk about the rest in a while, seeing that you are so tired and blushing, go have lunch first."

Chu Yuyang relaxed on the table and said, "I'm really exhausted."

Zhao Xingduan said, "I'll get you some food."

Chu Yuyang nodded and lay still on the table.

Zhao Xingduan got up and went out the door. Chu Yuyang knocked on his sore waist with his backhand. He had been in the same posture just now, but now he felt uncomfortable.

Chu Yuyang lay on her stomach for a while, then sat up, picked up the rice paper written by Zhao Xingduan and looked at it.

They just focused on the fast translation, and they didn't have time to look at the list carefully.Chu Yuyang picked them up and carefully looked at them one by one. Maybe someone he knew before might be a good breakthrough point.

Chu Yuyang scanned it roughly, but there was no Feng Beisi's name.He thought there would be Feng Beisi's name. After all, Feng Beisi is the current commander of the Sixteen Guards, and Feng Beisi's master was the leader of the secretly dispatched forces back then. Feng Beisi was right.

Maybe it hasn't been translated yet?

Chu Yuyang was indeed not found in the translated name.He quickly scanned around again, and suddenly his eyes froze on a name...

Chu Yuyang's eyes widened in surprise.

"what happened?"

Zhao Xingduan came back with some food and said, "What did you find?"

Chu Yuyang immediately jumped up, took the piece of paper and rushed over, saying: "Duaner, look at this! Liang Qi! Isn't it just..."

Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, how could he not know Liang Qi, Feng Beisi's senior brother, and the deputy commander of the Sixteen Guards.He is honest and straightforward, very popular, and he is known as a good old man.Chu Yuyang also knew Liang Qi, and Liang Qi also helped with the Shi family's case.

Chu Yuyang opened his mouth wide and asked, "Is that Liang Qi? Or the same name and surname?"

Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "I'm not sure either. Mr. Liang basically doesn't care about anything in the Sixteen Guards Mansion, and it's all handled by the commander Feng Beisi."

Chu Yuyang said: "If Liang Qi really has a problem, then he hides it quite deeply."

"Let's go back to the capital as soon as possible." Zhao Xingduan said.

Chu Yuyang nodded, since they found out that there was something wrong with Liang Qi, they should hurry to investigate this clue now.

Zhao Xingduan was thoughtful, and said: "I have to go to the palace..."

"Aren't you going to ask the emperor face to face?" Chu Yuyang blinked and couldn't help asking.

Zhao Xingduan nodded and said: "I have to ask clearly. We are brothers, he never harmed me, and I never thought of taking the throne. I want to talk to him clearly, if he really Don't worry, I can leave the capital instead of being a prince."

"Don't be impulsive." Chu Yuyang said.

Zhao Xingduan said: "I have a measure, don't worry."

Chu Yuyang said: "Oh, I'm starving to death, let's eat first. Maybe this matter has nothing to do with the emperor."

Zhao Xingduan nodded, and sat down to eat with Chu Yuyang.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Xingduan suddenly opened his mouth again and said, "If I don't become a prince anymore, and I won't have so much money in the future, would you still be with me?"

Chu Yuyang almost choked to death on the white rice, and stretched her neck to swallow it.It was agreed that his family was going to be a high-cold president, why did he suddenly become sad.

Chu Yuyang patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, Duaner, even if you run out of money, I still have the jade pendant you bought here. We can pawn it off, and we won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives."

Zhao Xingduan felt that what Chu Yuyang said made sense, but it was not what he wanted to hear...

He is a majestic prince, even if he is not a prince, the wealth he has accumulated in the past is far from worrying about food and drink.

Chu Yuyang suddenly looked at him shyly, and said, "Don't you know? Of course I'm not with you because of your money!"

Zhao Xingduan looked up at him, but at this moment, his right eyelid twitched...

Chu Yuyang continued: "Duan'er, you are so good-looking, even if you are poor, I will work hard to earn money to support you!"

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Zhao Xingduan now regrets that he short-circuited his brain and asked Chu Yuyang what he said just now. He lowered his head and ate in silence, not planning to talk to Chu Yuyang anymore.

Chu Yuyang said pitifully: "Duan'er, what's the matter with you, shouldn't you be so moved and weep bitterly? Why do you look disgusted?"

Zhao Xingduan said lightly: "Continue to count after eating."

Chu Yuyang even looked like an abandoned woman, and continued to eat in silence.

The two finished their meal, but before they had time to continue counting the plum blossoms, there was a commotion outside, and an official came to knock on their door.

Zhao Xingduan went to open the door, and the official had a look of joy and said, "Young Master Zhao! The man surnamed Yao is indeed not dead, we caught him in his house!"

"Where is the person?" Zhao Xingduan asked.

The officer said, "I'll hurry back and let you know. The man surnamed Yao will be escorted here soon."

Zhao Xingduan nodded and said, "Send it to the government for retrial."

The official sent a series of promises, saying: "Okay, okay."

Chu Yuyang quickly ran out and said, "Don't worry, I'd better bring it here first. This case is just about to be shaken for the last time. Let me clear it up. Anyway, it won't take long."

The official took a look at Zhao Xingduan in embarrassment, not knowing who to listen to.

Zhao Xingduan nodded and said: "Then follow what he said and bring the person here first."

Mr. Yao didn't die, but was brought back to Qi's house under the pressure of officials.Everyone was shocked when they saw Mr. Yao who looked like a beggar.Among them, the most shocking one was of course Mr. Liu.

Mr. Yao was dirty and looked extremely down and out.His face was ashen, he was held silent, his head drooped, as if he was not angry at all.

Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan came out and found that many people had already come out, and they probably wanted to know what was going on.

When the detainee officer saw Zhao Xingduan, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao really had the foresight. As you expected, this man surnamed Yao really faked his death, and then sneaked back home. We inquired and thought He was not at home. The neighbors said that no one came back, there was no smell of cooking, and there was no light at night. This Yao was hiding in the kitchen of his home, and he was like this in just a few days. It looks like it."

Zhao Xingduan asked: "Has he pleaded guilty?"

"This..." the official said in a dilemma: "Not yet...he has been refusing to speak."

Chu Yuyang walked over with a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter. If he doesn't say anything, I can ask him slowly. But I really don't have much time."

Mr. Yao didn't respond, and he didn't lift his eyes.

Chu Yuyang said: "All the good shows at the painting feast that day were all planned by you, right? Let me think about it, I'm afraid that Mr. Li didn't go to the painting feast at all. Was it killed by you?"

"How is this possible?" Mr. Liu said in surprise, but he couldn't say much. Thinking about it carefully, there were too many people that day, and it was dark, so he couldn't see clearly at all.

Chu Yuyang said: "Before the painting banquet, Mr. Li was in the house. Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang left first to go to the painting banquet, and then Mr. Yao went to find Mr. Li, and the two left the yard together. But after that, Did Mr. Li arrive at the theater for the painting appreciation banquet alive? Mr. Liu, do you dare to say that you clearly remember that day, did you see Mr. Li at the painting appreciation banquet?"

Mr. Liu was very confused for a while, when the time was up, Mr. Yao and Mr. Li had not been seen, and he and Mr. Wang complained for a long time.

Later, they saw too many people, so they planned to go up first. Halfway up the stairs, they heard someone calling them, and it was Mr. Yao who called them.It was so dark, Mr. Liu was only sure that Mr. Yao was indeed here, but Mr. Li didn't pay much attention to it.After all, Mr. Yao came to find Mr. Li, so he subconsciously thought that Mr. Li was right next to him.

Chu Yuyang said: "At that time, Mr. Li might have died long ago. So everything after that was all the tricks of Mr. Yao. I found a thread end on the railing of the opera building, which was used to transport the scrolls It is used. Mr. Yao stole the painting and shouted loudly, making people mistakenly believe that Mr. Li stole the painting. He ran out first when he shouted "Stop the thief". Everyone didn't know that he was going to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces. They thought he was going to I'm chasing Mr. Li."

Mr. Yao, who was ashen-faced, slowly raised his head, but he didn't show much expression.

Chu Yuyang continued: "He transported the painting outside Qi's house with pre-made thin thread, and then lied that he saw Mr. Li jump with his own eyes. It happened that there was a lot of snow that day, and there were no footprints or footprints downstairs. Everyone was shocked by Mr. Li's body. In fact, there is no suspense at all, it's just that we thought too much."

"Next, you know that it won't be long before others will wake up from their dreams and feel that you dislike you very much. After all, everything is your confession. So you thought of a way to fake your own death to cleanse yourself. Get rid of disgust. You cut off the head of Mr. Li's body, and then prepared to impersonate you. But at this time, you thought of a very important problem. That is Mr. Li is left-handed, and his hands are likely to reveal your identity So you simply cut off his hands, so that the corpse has no head and no hands." Chu Yuyang said.

Mr. Yao still didn't respond, but just listened quietly.

Chu Yuyang said: "After doing this, you are finally relieved, because you can escape, you have set up a trap for the remaining two people to die skillfully, and you don't have to appear in person for this trap. You want Run away, far away, but you are worried about the failure of the plan and feel uneasy, so you still choose to hide in a dangerous but safe place, that is your home, where you hide, without lighting, cooking or cooking. Go out and let people think that there is no one in your house."

Mr. Liu felt chills on his back, and said, "You mean, he was the one who poisoned the painting? Then how did he give the painting to Mr. Wang? Why don't we know."

Chu Yuyang said: "Don't you know this?"

Mr. Liu was taken aback, and said, "I, how would I know?"

Chu Yuyang said: "The ingenious trap I mentioned is just a method of painting poison. This method, he feels that he does not need to do it himself, and it is foolproof."

Mr. Liu was still at a loss.

Chu Yuyang said: "Actually, Mr. Yao didn't give the painting to Mr. Wang, just like Mr. Wang didn't actually give it to you. You stole it yourself, and so does Mr. Wang."

"What! What?" Mr. Liu was stunned for a long time.

Chu Yuyang said: "Mr. Yao asked Mr. Wang to have dinner. The first thing is to let him see that Mr. Yao is dead, and the second is to let Mr. Wang see another thing, which is the painting. Mr. Wang entered the door at that time. He said that he waited in the room for a while, and sat down to drink tea. After such a long time, Mr. Wang may have discovered that Mr. Yao had "hidden" the painting. Mr. Wang felt that No one, so they stole the painting, and then found Mr. Yao's body."

"It...it turned out to be like this..." Mr. Liu's lips trembled, and his whole body felt chills.He also saw the painting on Prince Wang's table and wanted to steal it.However, he failed to steal the painting and was discovered.Fortunately, he didn't succeed, otherwise his end would be the same as Prince Wang's.

Mr. Liu looked at Mr. Yao in disbelief, and said, "You...you are too cruel for doing this!"

Mr. Yao finally reacted, raised his head to look at him, and said, "If I don't do this, I will die."

Chu Yuyang said: "Even if you kill them all, it's not that no one knows what you did. Do you think that painting just appeared in front of you by coincidence?"

Mr. Yao widened his eyes and said, "No! No! No one else will know. I am only one step away, yes, I am only one step away from success! In fact, I will succeed immediately."

Chu Yuyang: "Unfortunately, the road to success is always under construction."

Zhao Xingduan remained silent all this time, now he said: "Take me back to the Yamen."

"Yes, yes." The official hurriedly agreed, and then left Qi's house with Mr. Yao under escort, and went to the yamen.

Mr. Liu was the victim, now the truth came out, and he didn't need to go to prison anymore. He raised his hand to touch the cold sweat on his forehead, and felt his heart calm down.

Chu Yuyang walked up to him and said, "If you want others to know you have to do nothing, do you think you will be safe after Mr. Yao is arrested?"

Mr. Liu trembled, almost fell to the ground, and said, "No, no, I haven't done anything."

Zhao Xingduan said: "Let's go, we must hurry back to the capital."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Leave one to Ke Junyan."

The two returned to the room, rolled up the half-translated painting scroll, and then packed up their things, preparing to hurry while the day was still bright, so as to find a place to stay before dark.

After Chu Yuyang finished packing her things, she let out an "oops".

"What?" Zhao Xingduan asked.

Chu Yuyang said: "I should go and say goodbye to my brother first."

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Chu Yuyang also told Zhao Xingduan about Ke Junyan, so he naturally knew that Ke Junyan was Chu Yuyang's cousin.Chu Yuyang now has even more reason to pester Ke Junyan with a big name.

"Let's go together." Zhao Xingduan said.

"Okay." Chu Yuyang said.

After the two packed their things, they went to Qi Zhongting and Ke Junyan to say goodbye.

Qi Zhongting didn't seem surprised that they were leaving so soon, and he didn't intend to keep them, so he sent the two of them to the gate.

Ke Junyan still didn't want Chu Yuyang to be with Zhao Xingduan, for fear that Zhao Xingduan would implicate Chu Yuyang in the future.Don't look at Chu Yuyang's heartless smile all the time, in fact, it's like eating a weight in his heart.

Chu Yuyang patted her chest and said, "I'm leaving, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter."

"Be careful to lose your life." Ke Junyan said.

Chu Yuyang said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that elder brother is like a father? Why are you so rude to my elder brother?"

Ke Junyan: "..."

Zhao Xingduan said flatly, "I will protect him."

After finishing speaking, he put his arms around Chu Yuyang's waist and put him on the horse's back.

Ke Junyan was angry when he saw Zhao Xingduan's cold face, and even more angry when he saw Chu Yuyang's bewildered face with a smile.

Ke Junyan said: "You'd better remember what you said today. If you break your promise one day, I will definitely kill you."

Zhao Xingduan didn't speak, but Chu Yuyang did, and said, "Jun Yan, I think your words are less credible than my family's Duan'er. Your martial arts are not as good as his, and Duan Wang's mansion is so strict. , how could you kill him?"

Ke Junyan: "..."

Ke Junyan was pissed off by Chu Yuyang, and said, "Can't you hear that I'm speaking for you? Why are you helping him instead?"

Chu Yuyang said aggrievedly: "I can hear it. But Duan'er belongs to my family. You are married to Mr. Qi. I can only look at it but not touch it or eat it. Of course I want to speak for my family's Duaner."

Ke Junyan was even more furious.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingduan immediately pinched the back of Chu Yuyang's neck, and asked coldly in his ear: "It's fine to see it, do you still want to touch it?"

Chu Yuyang chuckled and said, "No way, it's just an analogy."

Qi Zhongting quickly smoothed things over and said: "It's getting late, I'm afraid it will be dark soon, Jun Yan, say goodbye to Mr. Chu and Mr. Zhao. I don't know when we will meet next time."

Hearing what he said, Ke Junyan inevitably felt a little sad.

Sitting on the horseback, Chu Yuyang tried to lean forward, reached out and patted the top of Ke Junyan's head, and said, "Don't cry, brother, just stand up and masturbate, and let Mr. Qi do it for you."

Ke Junyan blushed and said, "You better go!"

Chu Yuyang waved her hand with a smile, and said, "Duan'er, let's go. If we don't go, we really have no place to stay at night."

Zhao Xingduan nodded, put his arms around Chu Yuyang's waist, and immediately urged the horse to go forward.

Qi's house is not close to the capital, and it's not something that can be reached within three to five days.

Chu Yuyang's riding skills are too poor, and riding a carriage is too slow, so Zhao Xingduan has always been holding her and riding a horse together.

Zhao Xingduan asked him to sit in the back so that he could be protected from the wind.But Chu Yuyang insisted on sitting in front, and said, "I will protect you from the wind when you ride a horse. I wear such thick clothes."

Zhao Xingduan couldn't help but said, "Just your small body?"

As a result, after driving for three days, Chu Yuyang successfully developed a fever and fell ill due to the wind.

The wind in winter was too hard, and they were on their way continuously. Except for eating and sleeping, they basically didn't stop. They were tired and windy. Chu Yuyang had no martial arts background, and it was normal to have a fever.

At first, Zhao Xingduan thought that Chu Yuyang was too tired from the journey so he was out of energy, but later realized that Chu Yuyang had a cold and fever.

Zhao Xingduan quickly found an inn to settle down, and then found a doctor to see him.

Chu Yuyang lay down in a daze for a day, when she woke up, she saw that the sky outside was bright, so she sat up and said, "Duan'er, it's already high in the sun, why don't you hurry?"

Zhao Xingduan breathed a sigh of relief when he woke up, and said, "You have caught a cold and have slept all day."

"Ah?" Chu Yuyang rubbed her eyes and said, "I'm confused. But I'm fine now, I'm fine."

Zhao Xingduan asked people to lie down, and said: "Let's go tomorrow, you have a good rest, although you are not in a hurry, it's just a moment... It's been more than ten years since this happened."

Chu Yuyang was stuffed back into the bed by him, rubbed her face against the pillow, and said, "I'm hungry, Duaner."

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Zhao Xingduan said: "It seems that you really recovered from your illness, and you already know what to eat."

Chu Yuyang chuckled.

Zhao Xingduan said: "I asked the waiter to make porridge for you just now, and it will be served in a while. You can eat well by yourself, you know?"

Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Xingduan said, "I'll get you some medicine. This place is too small, and there's no medicine in the pharmacy. You have to ride a horse to go to a farther place to get medicine."

Chu Yuyang said: "So troublesome? Actually, I'm really well. I'll be fine after eating and sleeping."

Zhao Xingduan stroked his cheeks twice, and said, "I'm going now, I'll be back after you have eaten."

Chu Yuyang finally nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you slow down."

"I know." Zhao Xingduan said.

After Zhao Xingduan left for a while, the waiter in the shop brought over the hot porridge. Chu Yuyang is not picky about food, he likes to drink both salty and sweet porridge, as long as it tastes good.

This place is relatively small, and there aren't any delicacies, but the ingredients are all grown by themselves, and the porridge is delicious.

Chu Yuyang scooped up the quilt and started to drink the porridge slowly with the bowl in hand.He drank very slowly, one spoon at a time, and one spoon was divided into three mouthfuls.It's not that the porridge is hot, it's just that Zhao Xingduan must not come back so fast, and it's boring to have nothing to do after finishing the porridge.

"Squeak" sounded.

Before Chu Yuyang drank one-third of the porridge, she heard a creak, and the window was pushed open from the outside, followed by a figure flashing in.

Chu Yuyang lowered his head and drank a spoonful of porridge, and said, "Close the window, didn't you see that Master is sick?"

It was Huaishui who came in. Huaishui quickly closed the window, walked over and said, "Master, you don't look sick anymore."

Chu Yuyang said, "Why are you here?"

Huai Shui said, "I thought Master wasn't surprised to see me at all."

Chu Yuyang pointed to the chair beside the bed, which Zhao Xingduan sat on just now.Huaishui sat down.

Chu Yuyang said: "You took advantage of my family's absence and entered my room through the window, what do you want to do?"

Huaishui: "..."

Chu Yuyang said: "You haven't been waiting outside for a long time, have you? That's really hard work for you."

Huai Shui was taken aback, and said, "How did Master find out?"

Chu Yuyang gave him a pitying look while drinking the porridge, and said, "Silly boy, you are breathing cold, and your lips are a little purple and cracked from the cold. Didn't you stand outside for a long time?" ?”

Huaishui smiled and said, "Prince Duan is very skilled in martial arts, and I am no match for him. I dare to approach this place only after he has gone far."

"My family's Duan'er is just so powerful." Chu Yuyang said with trepidation, "But don't worry, you have enough time to finish talking before you run away."

Huaishui smiled and said, "Master, did you get a painting in your hand?"

Chu Yuyang nodded, and said generously, "Yes, my father's family heirloom."

Huaishui was not surprised when he heard this, but said, "Master, give me that painting."

"No, no." Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "My father kept it and I gave it to my apprentice. What about my wife? She will be jealous when she comes back."

Huaishui: "..."

Huai Shui took a deep breath and said, "Master, don't joke around at this time. You haven't forgotten that someone wanted to kill you before! Those people came to kill you because they knew your identity. Now that you still have that painting in your hand, they will kill you even more."

Chu Yuyang said: "Not afraid, not afraid. You protected me before, but now Duan'er protects me. Duan'er's martial arts are higher than yours, so there must be no problem."

Huaishui was quite helpless, and said: "Master, you took that painting just to wash away your grievances. It's the same when you hand it over to me. The adoptive father... the adoptive father also wants to wash away his grievances. You don't want to take this muddy water trip, if you make another mistake, I'm afraid the Chu family will really die."

Huai Shui talked a lot, but Chu Yuyang was unmoved, determined to wade into the muddy water, and while listening to him very carefully, slowly drank the porridge with a spoon.

Huaishui talked for a long time, a little discouraged, and said: "Father is right, it seems that I came here for nothing."

Chu Yuyang said with a smile: "Huishui, you will suffer a loss if you don't listen to the old man."

Huaishui: "..."

Chu Yuyang suddenly said, "Huishui, are you hungry?"

Huai Shui was taken aback, and said, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Chu Yuyang smiled, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and slowly put it into his mouth, and said, "I noticed that your gaze always unconsciously glanced at my porridge bowl. Your adoptive father will not abuse you, no Shall I feed you enough?"

Huai Shui blushed suddenly, and said, "Of course not, it's just that I've been guarding outside for a long time, and I didn't even bother to eat. I'm just a little hungry now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuyang said, "I have a lot of porridge here."

Huaishui didn't feel much just now, but now his stomach was rumbling, and he took another look at the porridge bowl in Chu Yuyang's hand.

The shop waiter brought up a very big bowl, which Chu Yuyang couldn't hold with one hand. There was still a lot of porridge at this time, and it seemed that Chu Yuyang couldn't finish it by himself.

Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "I have a lot of porridge here, but I have a cold and a cold. If you drink this, you will probably get sick too, so I can't give it to you."

Huaishui: "..."

"However," Chu Yuyang blinked again, and said, "You are my only apprentice, and I am a kind person..."

Huai Shuixin asked, could it be that Chu Yuyang wanted the waiter in the shop to get him another bowl of porridge?

Chu Yuyang said: "Kindness means that when others are starving, I don't want to eat meat. Although there is only porridge now, don't worry, I won't deliberately greedy you."

Huaishui: "..."

Huaishui felt that Chu Yuyang might as well be talking deliberately!What he said made people hate it even more.

Chu Yuyang said again: "Why don't you go downstairs and order something to eat?"

How dare Huai Shui go downstairs and let people not see him, his whereabouts will be exposed. Wasn't it all in vain that he was starving and freezing outside just now?

Huaishui said: "Master...do you really have to get involved?"

Chu Yuyang nodded vigorously and said, "Of course."

"Then..." Huaishui said helplessly, "Then be careful. Maybe Prince Duan will be back soon, so I should go too."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Go, go."

Huaishui said no more, and left through the window again.

Chu Yuyang drank two-thirds of the porridge, and just after recovering from illness, she couldn't eat too much, so she held the porridge bowl and started counting the rice grains.

Although Zhao Xingduan said it wasn't very far away, it took a long time to go.When Chu Yuyang was drowsy, Zhao Xingduan finally came back, opened the door and came in, and saw Chu Yuyang wrapped up like a small mountain bag, sitting on the bed, holding a bowl in his hand.

Zhao Xingduan walked over, put the porridge bowl on the table, and said: "The medicine has been boiled, sleep for a while when you are sleepy, and drink medicine when you wake up."

Chu Yuyang said: "Duan'er, you are finally back. Would you like to lie down and rest for a while? I can turn my back and face inward, so that I won't pass typhoid to you."

Zhao Xingduan took off his outer shirt and went to bed, hugged him in his arms, and said, "I am in good health, so I won't pass it on to me."

Chu Yuyang wanted to turn his back, but Zhao Xingduan hugged him tightly to prevent him from turning around. He didn't have the energy to toss about, and soon fell asleep.

Chu Yuyang drank the medicine, slept for another day, and became alive and well the next day, and then the two of them continued on their way to the capital.

Zhao Xingduan came back in a hurry this time, and he didn't have time to send a letter to report back.I'm afraid that the man who delivered the letter hadn't come back yet, but he himself arrived first.

So when Prince Duan appeared in the capital, everyone was taken aback.

Teng Shan and Lin Bailiu didn't expect them to come back so soon, and they thought it would take another ten days and a half months to see someone. After all, they had received a letter from them before, and they had traveled a long way.

Zhao Xingduan sent Chu Yuyang to the palace, and said: "I will go to the palace first."

With a pitiful look on his face, Chu Yuyang pulled his sleeve and said, "Can't I go with you?"

Zhao Xingduan said: "You'd better stay here and wait for me."

Chu Yuyang said: "Then what if you never come back?"

Zhao Xingduan was silent for a while, and said: "I will ask Teng Shan to take you out of the capital."

Teng Shan was surprised when he heard this, and felt that the matter might be serious, so he said, "What happened?"

Chu Yuyang said: "If you never come back, I will go to the palace to find you. Anyway, I have a token to enter the palace, and no one else can stop me."

"Don't mess around." Zhao Xingduan said.

Chu Yuyang said with a smile: "Go quickly, go back quickly."

Zhao Xingduan knew it would be useless to talk too much, so he rode his horse and rushed to the palace.

Lin Bailiu was still dizzy and said, "What happened?"

Chu Yuyang didn't say it directly, he told Zhao Xingduan because Zhao Xingduan had a reason to know, but Lin Bailiu Tengshan was different, it was better not to know.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Brother Teng, has there been any movement in the Sixteen Guards Mansion recently?"

When Zhao Xingduan left, he asked Teng Shan to secretly observe the movement of the sixteen guards. Naturally, Teng Shan did not dare to neglect, and said: "There is no special change. Feng Beisi still went to court as usual. I heard that his health has not been very good recently. Well, I have been ill for a while, and my complexion is not good."

Chu Yuyang tilted her head and thought for a while, then Teng Shan said that there was nothing else.

Chu Yuyang asked again: "What about Lord Liang Qiliang?"

Teng Shan was taken aback, and said, "Master Liang? Although he is the deputy commander, Feng Beisi usually dispatches the Sixteenth Guards Mansion, and he rarely participates. He is usually active in the Sixteenth Guards Mansion, so it's not good." observe."

It was near noon when Zhao Xingduan entered the palace, Chu Yuyang thought he would be back by noon, so he waited for him to eat, but no one came back after noon.Chu Yuyang's chest was so hungry that she almost couldn't lift it while lying on the table.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Chu Yuyang couldn't sit still, why was there no movement in the palace?Zhao Xingduan didn't come back either.

Chu Yuyang sat up, at least took a mouthful of white rice to cushion her stomach, and then rushed outside in a hurry, wanting to go to the palace to find Zhao Xingduan.

Teng Shan quickly stopped him at the gate and said, "Mr. Chu, where are you going?"

Chu Yuyang said: "Of course I went to find my family."

Teng Shan said: "But
