He Jingyi sat on the chair and glanced at Zhou Jianhong who was giggling.

Ye Cong beside Zhou Jianhong kicked him again: "Keep talking."

His voice was very soft, much lower than before. Zhou Jianhong knew it well, and lowered his volume to speak: "Last autumn, some foreigners came to Chengdu one after another. Even among the beggars, there has been a certain influence over time, and then they began to spread their teachings, claiming that they can lead them out of the sea of ​​suffering and enjoy the glory. Because of their previous good deeds, they have gained a lot of followers. A rough survey shows that there are hundreds of people join in."

Wang Shichu said: "Sects that have not registered with the imperial court are not allowed to recruit believers, and the Jiannan Road Jiedu envoy has not discovered it?"

"They wandered among the poor and beggars, and their movements were small, and the Jiedu envoy didn't notice them. The spies we sent found them." Zhou Jianhong paused, and sighed leisurely: "In just a few months, we have already done so." Hundreds of people, these hundreds of people can form an army."

"What does this have to do with the missing farmers and the Big Dipper?" Ye Cong asked curiously, then glanced at He Jingyi again: "How does the crown prince know there are heretics?"

He Jingyi said lightly, "I guess."

What he said made Ye Cong almost choke to death, his eyebrows trembled, and he cupped his hands and said, "The prince can guess so accurately, I admire you."

Hua Nanjin shook her head amusedly: "I guess the symbol of paganism is the Big Dipper."

Zhou Jianhong clapped his hands: "Nan Jin is right, that's exactly what happened. Those people's cuffs are all embroidered with the Big Dipper."

Ye Cong pushed him: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up the princess."

Zhou Jianhong glanced at He Jingyi, seeing that his expression hadn't changed, he was relieved, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay."

Holding the teacup, Chang Youdao listened carefully to what he said, and then lifted the cup of tribute nectar to his mouth and took a sip, "Do you know what their Christian names are?"

Zhou Jianhong hurriedly replied: "Zijin Sect."

Chang Youdao put down the teacup: "Zijin Cult? Which Zijin?"

Zhou Jianhong replied: "Zijin is the word for Zijinhua."

The few people were silent after hearing this, Ye Cong wondered: "It's similar to the Lotus Sect, since it's the Zijin Sect, why don't they embroider purple gold flowers on their cuffs, but embroider the Big Dipper?"

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and said to himself: "Could it be that the Big Dipper was chosen for convenience?"

Zhou Jianhong interjected: "I also have doubts about this, there must be some deep meaning in it, Nan Jin, you know flowers best, what do you think?"

Hua Nanjin gently tapped the bamboo silk waist fan she carried with her, and said slowly: "Purple golden flowers are also called purple orchids and crape myrtle flowers, which bloom in summer. This flower symbolizes good luck, but I don't know how What is the connection with the Big Dipper?"

"Could it be that it doesn't mean flowers, but something else? I remember a place named Zijin. Maybe it's the origin of this pagan religion."

Several people lowered their heads and thought carefully, and the corners of He Jingyi's lips twitched slightly, who hadn't spoken all the time: "I'm afraid they want to call Zijin not Ziwei, but Ziwei."

Chang Youdao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned to He Jingyi and asked, "Prince, what do you say?"

Zhou Jianhong also said: "If it is called Ziwei, it is also a kind of flower, so what does it have to do with the Big Dipper?"

He Jingyi raised his chin slightly: "It's not Ziwei, it's Ziwei, purple purple, subtle Wei."

Hua Nanjin reacted quickly and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Ye Cong sat up straight, shifted his gaze to him, and asked eagerly, "How to solve it?"

"Ziwei is also the North Star, the star of the emperor, and the Big Dipper is the guardian star around it." Hua Nanjin said and squinted his eyes: "It seems that the purpose of this teaching is not simple."

Chang Youdao was horrified: "In this way, this religion has the intention of rebellion. It needs to be reported to the Holy One and banned as soon as possible. Otherwise, according to the speed of absorbing believers, the country and society may be endangered."

Zhou Jianhong wondered: "Jiannan Road Jiedu envoys monitor the people who have joined the sect, but those outsiders have disappeared. If they can't be caught, let alone the leader of the sect."

He Jingyi lowered his eyelids, looked at the seven locations marked with red crosses on the map in front of him, and said quietly, "Don't worry, since you deliberately let us know, it will appear sooner or later."

Zhou Jianhong looked at him puzzled, followed his line of sight to look at the map and understood.

Wang Shichu nodded and said: "The crown prince is right. He deliberately chose these seven farmers for one purpose."

Ye Cong listened to their words in a daze, and leaned towards him: "What?"

Hua Nanjin answered through the interface: "Provocative."

There was a hint of danger in He Jingyi's squinted eyes, and he asked, "How did the investigation go about? Where is their remnant power now?"

Zhou Jianhong hurriedly replied: "I haven't found any trace of them for the time being, and I haven't found any connection with this incident."

He Jingyi nodded: "Keep an eye on it."

Zhou Jianhong clasped his hands and said yes, Wang Shichu glanced at He Jingyi who had not moved his eyes: "What does the crown prince think about today's matter of impeaching the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for accepting bribes from officials?"

He Jingyi looked at him and didn't answer, Wang Shichu understood his eyes and smiled: "We usually underestimate the Fifth Prince."

He Jingyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Let him go."

Chang Youdao also showed a smile of unknown meaning: "It's good to hoe the grass on the wall of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Zhou Jianhong turned his shrewd eyes: "Prince, should we help him and take him for our use?"

He Jingyi waved his hand: "He Mingbo has worked so hard, how can I let him down."

Zhou Jianhong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, anyway, the servant of the official department is ours, let him pay more attention."

A few people chuckled tacitly, each with unclear meanings in their eyes.

He Jingyi noticed that Shi Yuqing moved his body, stood up and said to the others: "You guys go back first."

Everyone stood up and saluted him farewell. He Jingyi waved his hand and walked to the room where Shi Yuqing was. Several people saw that the crown prince's thoughts were all on one person, they deliberately slowed down their walking pace, and retreated with emotion.

Ye Cong made a clicking sound as he walked, Hua Nanjin tapped his head with a fan in a funny way: "What are you mumbling about?"

Ye Cong was not annoyed, he touched the place where he was beaten, and said with emotion: "I only thought our prince was as cold as a piece of ice, but he also has such a gentle side, it's too surprising."

With his hands behind his back, Zhou Jianhong interjected when he heard what they said, "Yes, my eyes almost popped out of shock."

Wang Shichu smiled slightly and said: "It can be seen that the crown prince has moved his heart, but our crown princess is also quite calm, and we need to discuss matters for at least one hour, and he can sit still."

Hua Nanjin shook the fan in his hand, and said leisurely: "I think the Crown Princess looks like a literati even though she is young, she must be used to reading, and every time he reads books, he looks quite serious, so it can be seen He is a person who loves to read, didn't you see that the room where the prince used to store his calligraphy has been changed into a study room? Maybe it is for the prince's concubine."

Zhou Jianhong raised his eyes looking down at Lu, and nodded at him: "Brother Hua is still observant."

Chang Youdao walked in front of a few people, heard some people joking, turned sideways and scolded: "Don't make fun of the prince and concubine, there is no rule!"

Several people knew that he was just bluffing themselves, and hurriedly cupped their hands and said with a smile: "Yes, Taifu, the students don't dare anymore."

Chang Youdao gave them a helpless look, shook his sleeves and continued walking forward.

He Jingyi sat next to Shi Yuqing and hugged him, let him wake up slowly in his arms, watching him open his misty eyes, his half-asleep and half-awake appearance made him very fond of it.

He waved his hand, and Lu Fu, who had been waiting outside, hurried in with a bowl of tea.

He Jingyi took the teacup and removed the lid, handed it to Shi Yuqing's lips, and said softly, "Are you thirsty? Drink some water."

Shi Yuqing just woke up, her consciousness was still very confused, and she was fed tea by him in a daze.

He Jingyi waited for him to finish drinking, then put the teacup back on the plate that Lu Fu was holding.

He looked at Shi Yuqing drinking water, felt itchy in his heart, and lowered his head to kiss him lightly on the face.

Shi Yuqing was taken aback. The room was burning with charcoal fire. He was wrapped in fur and held in He Jingyi's arms. He felt a little hot. He moved his body: "Your Highness, what time is it?"

"It's almost Shen time, you didn't sleep at noon, do you want to sleep again?"

Shi Yuqing covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, and unconsciously hugged He Jingyi's arms: "Your Highness, I'm a little hot and want to go for a walk.

A chuckle escaped from the corner of He Jingyi's mouth, he rubbed his hair, and said to Yun Donghai who was standing by and waiting: "Remove the charcoal basin."

Yun Donghai immediately asked people to do it, and He Jingyi said softly: "You just woke up, now you might catch a cold if you go out and blow the wind, so sit down later."

Shi Yuqing heard what he said was reasonable, nodded and sat quietly in his arms without moving.

Zhutong and Qiuzhi brought some pastries and put them on the coffee table in front of him.

Shi Yuqing was really hungry just after waking up. Seeing that the dragon beard cake that she liked was delivered again, she picked up a piece and tasted it.

"What are you thinking so ecstatically today?"

Shi Yuqing clapped her hands, wiped off the cake residue on her hands, smiled and said, "It's nothing."

He didn't know how to lie, so he had to hide it. He Jingyi saw through it at a glance, "You have been in the palace for seven days, but are you still used to it?"

Shi Yuqing smiled and said: "Your Highness treats me very well, and I adapt very well."

"That's good. If you feel bored, you can go out of the palace for a walk."

Shi Yuqing sat up straight and said pleasantly, "Can I leave the palace?"

He Jingyi nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he leaned towards Shi Yuqing: "Are you homesick? Or are you bored in the palace?"

Shi Yuqing smiled shyly, and He Jingyi knew that he had guessed right, "I have nothing to do in the future, so I will accompany you out of the palace. If you want to go out for a stroll, you can also go back to Shaoguo County's mansion to have a look."

Shi Yuqing was overjoyed and said, "Really? Thank you, Your Highness."

He Jingyi stared at him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and gently touched his face, the other hand on his waist slowly moved down to between his buttocks, his deep voice sounded alluring: "Is it still hurting here?"

Shi Yuqing's body froze immediately, she turned her eyes away and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

He Jingyi moved closer to him: "That's good."

His simple sentence "That's good" made Shi Yuqing crawl on the bed all day with back pain.

While enjoying He Jingyi's massage, Shi Yuqing thought silently: The crown prince doesn't know how to restrain himself at all, no wonder he is free until the day after tomorrow, so it was already settled.

He Jingyi patiently accompanied the bedside, seeing him limp and powerless leaning on the bed, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
