In the next few days.

All kinds of strange sights and visions in the ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods, especially the legendary blessing of the god fox, really became the focus of discussion in Bailu Mountain.

"You mean, apart from my stubborn illness, that young master named Mi Weirui regained his eyesight after being poisoned and blind?" Emperor Huiren tapped on the red sandalwood desk again and again.

The personal eunuch Li Zhong didn't dare to hide it, "Exactly."

"But that's not all. The three of the attendants from the Ministry of Rituals who suffered from head ailments, and the accompanying guards who suffered from leg ailments and joint pains all disappeared. It was the old slave... the scar left by the burn on his calf two years ago. After that, there are almost no traces of the past.”

Emperor Huiren has always been skeptical about the blessing.

It can be said that after Taizu, the successive emperors of Jiayi Kingdom have never seen the legendary fox.

The sacred ceremony held every two years, in addition to laying the foundation for the holy beast's lofty status in the hearts of the people to stabilize the imperial power, has become more of a formal existence.

Emperor Huiren's rationality and calmness were at their peak at this time, and he didn't feel that he was superior to the former emperor Taizu.

What's more, he has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and only the god fox appeared in this sacrifice ceremony.

If it is unusual, it seems that it is only... that he ordered Yu Su to return to Beijing.

Reminiscent of Concubine Rou's suicide three years ago, Yu Su's death, and then he ordered the fifth prince to be sent to Bailu Mountain to recuperate. It seems that not long after these things happened, he received eight hundred lijia for turning over from the dragon in Kuncheng in the north. urgent.

He didn't think much about it at the time, but looking back now.

Since then, while good news came from Kuncheng frequently, his spies who stayed in Bailu Mountain also sent news that the fifth prince had survived smallpox and was getting better and better.

Emperor Huiren's heart skipped a beat.

There are so many coincidences.

Could this be the oracle given by Shenhu, warning him of something.

Emperor Huiren found a reason to persuade him.

But once this idea entered into his mind, the more he thought about it, the more shocked Emperor Huiren was.

"Li Zhong, go to the bamboo forest and tell the fifth prince to come to see me." Emperor Huiren finally said, the expression on his face did not find the relaxation that should have been found in the answer, it was more dignified and defensive.

Yu Su received the oral order.

Although he didn't know why Emperor Huiren called him to have an audience at this time, he still took care of his appearance and got up to follow Li Zhong's pace.

When the group walked to the path leading from the bamboo forest sea to the outside of the courtyard, they happened to run into Mi Weirui who was planning to go out to the medicine field in the mountains.

"Your Highness is also preparing to go out." Mi Weirui said first.

This was the first time the two of them faced each other after the sacrifice ceremony. Yu Su still remembered the back view Mi Weirui left him that day, and the eagerness in his heart had already cooled down before it arose.

"Father called me to Yonghuaju, so I will go ahead." After saying that, he turned and left, without the slightest sloppiness in the past.

Now Mi Weirui doesn't have to pretend to be ignorant anymore, so he can clearly see the alienation and indifference shown by Yu Su.

This appearance of resistance made Mi Weirui frown in thought.

When Yu Su arrived at Yonghua Residence, Emperor Huiren had just finished reviewing a memorial.

Hearing the pass, he didn't stop writing, but changed hands to pick up another one.

Yu Su walked into the room, raised his robe and knelt down to salute, "I will see my father."

Emperor Huiren read the memorial, "Get up, sit down and talk."

Yu Su Xie En.

Sit on the armchair beside him.

"I heard that the young master named Mi Weirui is still living in Zhulinhai." Emperor Huiren asked casually, but the crisp sound of the paper seemed to tighten the atmosphere in the room suddenly.

Yu Su didn't understand why Emperor Huiren asked such a question, but since he dared to let Mi Weirui live in the courtyard, he thought of all the situations he would encounter.

"In the previous assassination, it was Young Master Mi who saved my son's life."

"If you count the care of the minister when he met Xi three years ago, Young Master Mi has saved the minister twice, and the assassination was caused by the minister. Afterwards, Young Master Mi was poisoned so badly that he couldn't see it. After all, the minister feels that he owes him kindness."

Yu Su lowered his head slightly, the anxiety on his face could be clearly seen.

Emperor Huiren stared at Yu Su without saying a word, as if confirming the authenticity of his expression.

After a long time, seeing Yu Su getting more and more nervous, Emperor Huiren finally showed mercy and broke the silence in the room: "Then you know, this Young Master Mi helped your elder brother poison you."

Yu Su raised his head abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

Emperor Huiren put away the memorial in his hand, with an expression of hating iron for being weak.

Yu Su was surprised.

But it's not because of the fact that Mi Weirui was poisoned by the eldest prince, but because he heard about it from Emperor Huiren.

His good father is indeed worried about them.

"It's not a bad thing to know kindness and repay it, but it's a big taboo to know people unclearly." Emperor Huiren reprimanded.

Yu Su got up and knelt down heavily, his body that lost his strength seemed to have received a huge blow, he opened his mouth: "Father, I, my son, how could this happen."

"Look at you, you don't look like a prince." Emperor Huiren seemed to be in a hurry.

Yu Su suddenly raised his head to look at Emperor Huiren, and eagerly argued: "I just feel that..."

"Okay, you step back." Emperor Huiren waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want to take action on this matter, how to do it, you make up your own mind, don't let me down."

Yu Su clenched his teeth, with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, but due to the majesty of Emperor Huiren, he had to salute and get up to leave.

Seeing the fifth prince leaving, Li Zhong stepped forward to fill up the tea in Emperor Huiren's hand, looked at the face of Emperor Huiren who was not angry, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, the fifth prince is still the same as usual, dare to talk to you Talk back."

"His temperament is still more like Concubine Rou's, and he hasn't made much progress in the past few years. I can't help but worry a little more for him." Emperor Huiren said helplessly.

Li Zhong said yes, but he had a different feeling in his heart.

Even if he didn't know the whole picture of how Concubine Rou died, he could still guess after so many years, not to mention that one time when it was his turn to watch the night, he heard the emperor calling Concubine Rou's name in his sleep, asking people to let him go.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

The emperor was afraid that Li Zhong would not know, but as a slave, he would rot in his stomach even if he knew.
