Xuan Xuan was worried, and he didn't want the young man to be in danger.

When Hong Gu heard what Yan Qingmin said, she immediately understood.

"Master, there are people from us in the Palace of Dexuan now." Ling Wu, who had been silent all this time, said softly beside him, as if he hadn't noticed the displeasure in Ling Qingxuan's eyes, and then took out an object much smaller than Xun He blew silently on his lips a few times.

A moment later, nine young palace people quietly entered the Dexuan Hall, and they all bowed to Ling Wu.

"Master, these disciples sneaked into the palace a few years ago and replaced the original people." Ling Wu pointed out those people one by one to Ling Qingxuan, and they all knew the simple disguise technique.

Yan Qingmin looked at these palace servants who usually only knew how to work silently. They had been in Dexuan Palace for several years, and they were really familiar strangers.

"Master, every time His Highness leaves the Palace of Dexuan, these two children will accompany them from time to time." Hong Gu pointed to the two young palace servants and said in surprise, unexpectedly there were people from Mingjiao in this palace.After speaking, he looked at Ling Qingxuan earnestly, "Tomorrow I will disguise the young master as one of them. Don't worry, master, the old slave's disguise will definitely make people see no flaws!"

Ling Qingxuan pursed her lips and said nothing.

☆, palace

Chongli watched the silent Ling Qingxuan step forward and said, "Master, the rules in this palace should not be so difficult to learn, and the subordinates will act carefully, so that there will be no mistakes that will scare the snake, not to mention that His Highness's poison can't be delayed any longer. "Knowing that Ling Qingxuan doesn't want him to take risks, he can't make things difficult for Ling Qingxuan anymore, and in the current situation, only he can stand up to alleviate this embarrassing situation.

"Okay! Be careful yourself." Ling Qingxuan looked at Chongli and said in a cold voice, then turned to look at Yan Qingmin with complicated eyes, "I wanted to arrange for someone to let you pass tomorrow's test first, and then take Chongli away every night. Come to treat your pain with acupuncture and moxibustion. Persist in ten days or so and his master will come from Mingjiao, so that you can diagnose and treat you with greater confidence. Since you insist, let Chongli stay to treat you... But you must not let him risk!"

"Brother, don't worry, re-divorce is 'my fate' now, and he will definitely not make mistakes." A trace of self-mockery flashed in Yan Qingmin's eyes. He has lived in the palace of intrigues for 20 years, in order to let himself not suffer. Injury, he is used to guessing, so that he can better avoid bad luck, so he can't help but feel this brother who met for the first time...

Hong Gu also said to Ling Qingxuan with a face full of shame, "Master, don't worry, this old slave knows the seriousness." She knew that she had made His Highness difficult. It is biased towards the weak, especially this child who was brought up by her since childhood.

Ling Wu, who was on the side, ordered the nine people to come forward to see Chongli, and gave Chongli the small silent Xun and told him how to use it. Afterwards, he gave him a detailed instruction, and then returned to the branch with Ling Qingxuan.

"Master, Ah Li will be fine. In addition to more than 100 disciples of the Ming Sect, there are also members of the Qisha Pavilion in the palace. They will definitely protect Ah Li well." Ling Wu looked at the cold-faced Ling Qingxuan with a bit of a smile, "Besides, it happened so suddenly. None of us thought that the person who should be a double is actually your twin brother. It seems that your brother is really Yanluo Shang's 'eyeball'."

"Ling Wu, Yan Qingyu will definitely return to court within half a month, so let him have some accidents along the way! It's better to have something to do with his brothers." In this way, no one will go to Dexuan Hall to disturb each other.

"This subordinate will order someone to arrange it." After speaking, he approached Ling Qingxuan and whispered: "Master, don't worry too much, Ah Li is also adapting to court life in advance." After finishing speaking, Ling Qingxuan retreated without waiting for Ling Qingxuan's reaction.

In the Palace of Dexuan, Aunt Hong was teaching Ah Li the rules of the place with fast speech, and asked him to imitate the behavior of those palace people in detail, and they didn't rest until Zishi.

The next day, Chongli got up early to get acquainted with the environment of Dexuan Palace.At the right time, Chongli was properly dressed up by Honggu.

After breakfast, Yan Qingmin took Chongli to the Hall of Jingci, before leaving, Chongli took out a few leaves, crushed them and squeezed some light green liquid on Yan Qingmin's middle sleeve.

"This is Rauwolfia Juice. Once His Highness feels something is wrong, just smell it and you will feel nauseous and vomiting. Even an imperial doctor can only diagnose stomach discomfort, so you can leave the place of right and wrong earlier." He found it in the back garden of Dexuan Palace this morning.

Thinking of being sick in front of those people, Yan Qingmin smiled and looked at Chongli, and walked out first, Honggu behind also heaved a sigh of relief.

Chongli and the other four palace servants were half a step behind and supported Yan Qingmin all the way to Jingci Hall, planting some evergreen trees and vines along the way.The sweeping in the palace was over, some men and women in ochre-colored clothes stood with their heads down when they saw them coming.Although he had seen the map of the palace last night, Chongli still made a silent note of what he saw along the way.

Several people passed through a flower-piercing corridor and gradually reached the area of ​​Jingci Temple. There were more and more flowers and trees beside the road, dotted among the green plants in an orderly manner.The palace people I met not only dressed differently, but also behaved towards Yan Qingmin intriguingly.

Several people entered the Hall of Jingci, Chongli and the others were left in the outer hall, while Yan Qingmin was welcomed into the inner hall by the maids.

Zhongli stood silently by the side, not looking at the luxurious arrangements around him.Not far away, there are many male and female palace officials looking at them and leaving them.Today is the first day of the lunar new year, those concubines had already met the Queen Mother as early as Mao Shi Chu Mo, and those followers of the palace who should be Yanluo Shang's other children also waited in the outer hall like him.

Not long after, some palace servants helped the weak Yan Qingmin out of the inner hall, accompanied by a man around 30 years old and a beautiful woman in a gorgeous palace attire.Chongli and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two of them and helped Yan Qingmin to turn around, but the man blocked their way.

"Fifth brother, you are so weak, how can you perform the duties of the prince? If things go on like this, others will only know you as the big emperor brother. Why don't you ask the second brother to recommend some famous doctors for you, so that you can get married as soon as possible and become our Yan Kingdom It's your fault that the queen mother always cared about you after giving birth to an imperial heir." After speaking, the second prince deliberately pulled the woman over, the woman glanced at Yan Qingmin with affectionate eyes, and shyly caressed Weilong's abdomen.

"Thank you for the kindness of the second prince. I heard that the big brother will be ordered to return to Beijing in a few days after this big victory." Yan Qingmin seemed to be recovering, and Wen Ya said to the second prince, as if he had never felt the woman opposite him. The gaze cast on him.

"This time, father specially held a banquet in the palace. Firstly, to celebrate the emperor's grandson's 13th birthday, and secondly, to congratulate the elder brother on his return from victory. The queen mother asked me to attend together." Yan Qingmin paused, "Brother I don't know what gifts to give, the second brother and the first brother are good friends, I must know the preferences of the first brother and the emperor's nephew, and I hope to give some pointers."

"Bah! What, you dare to make such a gesture in front of your face!" The second prince seemed to finally realize that his side concubine was looking at others affectionately, slapped him, turned around and rushed away angrily.

"...Let's go." Yan Qingmin turned around and walked out with Chongli's support, behind him was the sad eyes of the pear-blossoming beauty.

The few people were silent, until they entered the inner hall of Dexuan Hall, Zhong Li let go, and Hong Gu hurried to help Yan Qingmin.

"Nurse, don't worry, I'm fine... just to avoid the eyes and ears of the outside world, I'm so tired that I want to take me back all the way." After speaking, he went to the inner room to wash and change clothes.

Hearing the words, Hong Gu bowed deeply to Chongli gratefully, and Chongli turned slightly to avoid it, "Hong Gu, master, can you bring in all the medicinal materials His Highness needs?"

"Oh, oh! They are all here, just wait for the young master to come back and give orders." Honggu hurriedly opened several packages one by one for Chongli to check.

"The smell of medicine coming out of Dexuan Palace shouldn't attract the attention of others, right?" Chong Li put all kinds of medicine into fourteen parts, then turned to ask Honggu.

"No, they all know that His Highness often suffers from abdominal pain and discomfort, and the old hag sent a lot of medicine to show her concern."

"That's good. You still have to cook the old medicine on the surface. You find another place to cook it yourself. Three times a day, it's no different from your usual medicine. These are for His Highness to take a bath every night, one serving at a time." Add more water and boil three times to filter out the medicinal residues, and use the remaining medicinal soup until it is slightly hot." After finishing speaking, Chong Li went to find a pen and ink to write something down and handed it to Hong Gu, "From today onwards, I will start to detoxify Your Highness, These are forbidden foods and incense.”

"At noon, I will give His Highness acupuncture again." After finishing speaking, he returned to his room. He hadn't had a good rest last night until now, and it was difficult for him to sleep peacefully every time he changed places.

Yan Qingmin Yu Guang found that Chongli, who turned around, was covering his mouth and yawning, so he couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth. This Chongli is also an interesting person who can think of a trick to make him vomit. No wonder the elder brother is so nervous, he didn't realize his mood at all The depression of the past is gone.

Because Zhengyan and Qingmin needed acupuncture at noon, the Chinese food was brought forward an hour.

In the middle hall of the inner hall, there is a table and three chairs, only Hong Gu waits on Yan Qingmin and sits.Chongli looked at the few simple meals on the table, and there was no food that Yan Qingmin should avoid. It seemed that Honggu's instructions were in place, and the dining room was not taken advantage of.After carefully looking at the dishes, chopsticks, and spoons, he found that no one had tampered with them before sitting down at the table.

"Your Highness, I can only wrong you these days. After the detoxification, there will be no more taboos on diet." After speaking, I first put a little bit of each dish in my own bowl with serving chopsticks, and then served soft rice every day. He took a sip, took a small bowl of corn and chestnut soup and drank a couple of sips before nodding to Honggu.

Honggu smiled apologetically, and then rushed to serve Yan Qingmin with rice. Yan Qingmin ate the food uncomfortably. Make him awkward.Especially when the other party is doing this calmly, it seems that he... looked up and found that the young man opposite was still drinking sweet corn and chestnut soup, suddenly felt that he was hypocritical and let go of his mood, so that the food in front of him also tasted good.

At noon, Chongli began to inject acupuncture points at Yan Qingmin's points, each acupuncture point was different in size, and the time for retaining the needles was also different, some acupuncture points need to be lightly twisted occasionally, while others need to be lifted slowly.It took two quarters of an hour longer than the first time, and there was still only Honggu serving in the room, and the nine people were all on duty in the outer hall yesterday.

After collecting the needles, wait for Hong Gu to help Yan Qingmin get dressed, and Chongli asked Hong Gu to carefully boil the silver needles in boiling water and wipe the box carefully.Check Yan Qingxuan's pulse again, and if there is nothing abnormal, he returns to his room.

At night, after taking a bath, Chongli sat at the table and read a book of scenery from the previous dynasty.Looking up at the missing engraving on the table, Yan Qingmin's medicine bath will end in two quarters of an hour. He needs to see the other party's reaction after the medicine bath, and he will know what adjustments to make when acupuncture tomorrow.Suddenly the breath behind him stagnates!Just as the needle was about to come out, I felt the familiar aura of the person coming.

"There is indeed some progress." Ling Qingxuan jumped in from the window with the package in hand, "These are things you usually use frequently, and I brought them here for you along the way." After speaking, he sat down at the table, picked up Chongli and read a few pages of scenery Zhi, asked casually, "What happened during the day?" After listening to Zhongli explain the general situation, he put down the book, "If you don't need to go out, don't go out, just send a signal secretly if you need anything. "After hesitating for a while, he roughly told Chongli about the dispositions of those princes and princesses, "If you encounter them, you can deal with them easily. If they pester you, I will bring you all the poisons and medicines you often use. If someone finds out, you can deal with them whatever you want. If you feel wronged for a while..." After going back yesterday, I sent a secret letter to Ling Si about Yan Qingmin's situation and Fang Zi's re-leaving, and the results will be sent back the soonest the day after tomorrow. If it doesn't work, he will find a way to send Ling Si to the palace.

"Your subordinate understands," Chongli replied with a light smile, this person was clearly worried that he made this trip on purpose "It's less than half a quarter of an hour before His Royal Highness's medicine bath is over, do you want to go down with your subordinates to have a look?" ?”

"Forget it, let's go and have a look together." Ling Qingxuan walked out first.

The author has something to say:

☆, prepare

Wearing a moon white tunic, Yan Qingmin entered the dormitory with Hong Gu's support, and saw Ling Qingxuan and Chongli waiting in the room.

"Brother, you're here." Maybe it's the relationship between a mother and a compatriot, or maybe it's because of being alone for too long, the concern hidden in the eyes of the other party aroused his faint desire for warmth, and made him feel unfamiliar with the eldest brother who met for the second time. stand up.

When I first found out the identity of the other party, I felt resentful in my heart after having struggled alone in the palace for 20 years, but I finally had relatives.As brothers, the majesty unintentionally exuded by the other party made him more and more embarrassed as he was struggling on the line of life and death.Later, from the other party's few words, he knew how damned Yan Luoshang and his uncle were who caused the two of them to encounter each other... The other party who was also in adversity made a breakthrough, which made him admire.

"Well, I don't worry about you, so I came here to have a look, and let me know if you need anything." Ling Qingxuan stood beside Chongli and said calmly.He felt a little guilty for not discovering that his fellow brother was suffering earlier, if he had known earlier...

Seeing Zhongli struggling to observe the skin color around the pinhole under the flickering candlelight, he took out a night pearl from his pocket and put it beside him.

Chongli found that some of the needle holes were stagnant purple after the medicinal bath, and some were black. After asking Yan Qingmin how he felt, he thought about it for a while and then he had a calculation in his heart. It happened that Ling Qingxuan brought all his silver needles.

After being persuaded by Ling Wu, Ling Qingxuan suddenly sobered up...an order.Although the most dangerous place has not become the safest place, the cleverness of re-dividing should not be bad.

That night, Chongli sleeps comfortably on his own pillow.

The back garden of Dexuan Palace.

Chongli was taking care of a few yin-yang trees that had just sprouted, and next to it was a half-person-high yin-yang tree that had just slowed down and re-grows leaves.This is the treasure he found when he went to Fengshan behind the imperial garden when he was extremely bored half a month ago.

In the past month, they have been free in the Palace of Dexuan, except that they have to change their appearance to prepare when they go to see the Empress Dowager Mu, but they haven't seen those princes or Empress Yuan come to make trouble.Maybe it's because Empress Dowager Mu knew that Yan Qingmin's increasingly weak body would not be able to last for two years, so she didn't do those things that lost her identity anymore. As for why the princes didn't come, he knew some reasons.

At that time, a few yin and yangzi trees could be found, and it was all because the eldest prince was seriously injured in the attack and lost half of the Duhu talisman, which caused Yanluo Shang to be furious, and ordered his personal guards and Yuan Tian to go all out to hunt down the murderer and secretly search for half of the tiger talisman whereabouts.Because he wanted to avoid the spies who came to Dexuan Palace to investigate secretly and the guards of Mingcha, Chongli sneaked to Fengshan during the day, and thus found the "treasure tree".He picked more than a dozen golden and red shiny fruits one after another, and carefully dug a small tree. After returning, he planted the sapling according to its original north-south growth, and gave those fruits to Yan Qingmin.Take one before taking the medicine, so that the medicine does not feel bitter. He kept a few of those fruit pits, and the rest have sprouted now.

Zhongli planned to wait for Yinyangzi to adapt to the environment outside the peak and mountain, then he could move it to other places, at least a few trees to the valley, and the food would be more delicious.Ever since his father "accidentally" told him that Bai Muxuan had a strange poison in his body, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief, which made him conflicted for a long time, and also despised himself.

"Xiao Li, when will you plant this tree to bear fruit?" Yan Qingmin who was next to him closed "Qun Shu Zhi Yao" and asked. He no longer needs to drink medicine these days, but needs medicinal baths and acupuncture every day.Chongli's master came here once, and after taking his pulse, he very much agreed with Chongli's prescription, but finally ordered that the food should be light.Having personally tasted the wonder of the fruit, he now has to imagine when he sees the unfruitful saplings.

Hearing this "Xiao Li", the feeling of stroking goosebumps at the first hearing was gone, that's all, this person is a few years older than his previous life.

Facing this foodie wearing a gentle mask, Chongli is glad that he didn't tell him that a few leaves of Yinyangzi can make vegetarian food extremely delicious, otherwise the tree would be bald.He and Ling Qingxuan have the same appearance but completely different aura. When there are no outsiders, he throws away the mask of gentleness and alienation, only gentleness remains, and sometimes even has a temperament like a child.Ling Qingxuan is different, except for a few people, others will feel pressure to get along with Ling Qingxuan, even if he is smiling.

Chongli and Yan Qingmin once chatted about the first time they met him, "The situation was unclear at that time, but Yan Qingmin was calm and composed, gentle but alienated, forbearing but not to be underestimated." Look, it's completely the tolerance of a superior." But I didn't want Yan Qingmin to burst into tears after listening to it, and then wiped away the tears and said: "In order to survive in the perilous palace, 'forbearance' is what he learned since he was a child." Yes, 'alienation', because apart from Hong Gu, he can't feel any other warmth, gentleness is his mask, and what covers up is fragility." After hearing this, Reli's heart became much heavier.

"This 'big tree' is left to you, and it is estimated that it will bear fruit in the next year, but I will take these seedlings away." Chongli turned and said to Yan Qingmin.The complexion on this man's face is much better now, and he has been studying hard the various books that Ling Qingxuan brought him recently.It's hard to imagine that this person only went to Guozixue a few times when he was six years old, and then he was poisoned, and he stopped studying after two years of intermittent study.However, many strategies such as the strategy and the art of war described in the books such as "Governing the Country" brought by Ling Qingxuan can be integrated and learned from one instance.Chongli sighed secretly, he deserved to be the emperor, with two outstanding sons, it's no wonder their mother left such words.

If Yan Qingmin knew about Chongli's exclamation, he would probably laugh again. He just likes those, so he learned more carefully.Not to mention how to assist the eldest brother in the future, but he must do his best. In the end, he can't become a burden to the eldest brother. If the situation that the book is used up and hates less happens to him, then he will look down on himself .And even if he has learned those books thoroughly, it is only on paper, what is really useful is more experience.

The year after, the year after, he still doesn't know if he's here or not.He still doesn't know what the elder brother thinks, if the elder brother obeys his mother's will...then this palace belongs to the elder brother too.It would be a pity for these trees to stay here if the elder brother's ambition is not here. "Xiao Li, give me some of those fruit cores, and plant them after I settle down, or you will take these seedlings with you, and I won't know who will benefit by then."

But he didn't know that the fruits of these trees were all cheap for him in the end, and the others didn't taste any of them.I also prune the leaves of the tree from time to time, and make delicious food by myself in private.

"What's the matter?" Chongli saw the irritability in Yan Qingmin's eyes flashed away.

"There is a banquet in the palace tonight, and I want to attend it as well."

"I'll prepare rawolfia juice for you, smell it and you can come back early."

"This time there is still the prince of Chu Kingdom coming, Yanluo Shang ordered me to accompany him."

"What is Bai Muxuan here for? The war between the two countries just ended not long ago." Zhongli paused for a moment, "Could it be that he came to discuss peace! These two bones that cannot be chewed on each other want to reconcile?" Although Bai Muxuan had the Le family army , but without Le Jin and his son, the Le Family Army is like a toothless tiger. It can only stick to the battlefield with Yuan Tian who is good at deploying formations. Le Jiajun.

Yan Qingmin was amused by Chongli's statement, and now Dexuan Palace is guarded by Mingjiao disciples in the bright and dark places, so he doesn't have to worry about talking to Chongli: "This time it was Yan Qingyu who persuaded Yanluo to invite Chu State The peace talks are said to be to open up the trade of salt and iron horses between the two countries."

Chongli knew that it was Ling Qingxuan who ordered someone to attack Yan Qingyu and take away half of the tiger amulet, but he didn't think it would help Yan Qingyu.

"He made a lot of money this time. With a small injury, he could snatch the job of the household department from Yan Qinghuan, and he was reused by the Yanluo merchant. The Yanluo merchant probably wanted to use this opportunity to let the guards find Yuan. I didn't expect to miscalculate some things about Tian. It's your third brother who has something to fall into other people's hands."

"Who says it's not, but the eldest brother must have a backup in doing this."

"..." It is estimated that Ling Qingxuan and the others already knew about it.

"You still follow me to the banquet in Yirong," Yan Qingmin looked at Chongli apologetically, he didn't like to go to this kind of palace banquet, and he didn't like to see those intriguing and flattering faces.He made an occasional appearance before, and although he was already very cautious, his condition worsened, so he rejected that occasion from the bottom of his heart, "However, we still have to prepare the ralfwood juice."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Chongli looked up at the sky, as long as it rains today, he has never seen Bai Muxuan's condition on a cloudy and rainy day, as for the dinner, just play it by ear.

Chongli knew that going to this kind of palace banquet would lead to starvation.So he made an exception and quietly picked a few leaves of Yinyangzi, and went to the small dining room of Dexuan Palace to cook some vegetarian dishes, and stewed a pot of delicious tofu mixed mushroom soup with several kinds of mushrooms.

Yan Qingmin took a sip and didn't stop chopsticks.Seeing that, Aunt Hong couldn't help sighing, His Highness has never had a comfortable meal since he was very young, and he doesn't know when the master will be able to take that seat, so that they can return to Mingjiao confidently.

The author has something to say:

☆, analysis

More than 20 days have passed since mid-autumn, and the capital city of Yan Kingdom is full of half-red and half-green cotinus trees, and the front porches and backyards of every store are decorated with various kinds of chrysanthemums. chrysanthemum.If you can't buy it, you can buy some chrysanthemums and coral chrysanthemums in this city to add some solar terms.Passers-by on the street wore a dogwood on their arm or front. Bai Muxuan stood on the top floor of the Zuiyu Building, holding a wine glass, smelling the aroma of the wine, and squinting at the sunset of the Western Mountain.Tomorrow will be fine weather, it's time to go to the banquet.

The night was getting darker, and there were carriages passing by on the street from time to time, but most of them went in the same direction.

The Tongle Hall, which had not been used for several months, was also refurbished, and dark purple couches were placed neatly on both sides of the hall.Exquisite palace lanterns are hung on the pillars, illuminating the whole hall as if it were daytime.In front of the main seat, there are many precious green chrysanthemums, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is sent from a distance from time to time, which arouses the envy of all the third-rank officials and female relatives, and they all talk about the grand scene in the imperial garden in previous years.

Everyone from the royal family has not arrived yet, and everyone is obviously relaxed and interested in talking, and those handsome men and women are also looking at each other in private.

A few people packed up and went out of the inner palace, Yan Qingmin turned into a gentle and gentle but weak and pale look again, followed by Chongli and a few palace servants after the disguise.

When they arrived at Tongle Palace, the other princes and princesses had just arrived, only Yanluo Shang and his queen had not yet arrived.Even Bai Muxuan was chatting enthusiastically with Yan Qingyu under the fiery eyes of the princesses, the two of them seemed like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.Chongli glanced around lightly, then helped Yan Qingmin to sit on the couch lower than the main seat.While Yan Qingmin warmly greeted the princes, Chongli also saluted them along with the other palace people, and then stood solemnly behind Yan Qingmin.

The current Bai Muxuan is a little thinner than the last time I saw him, with a decent smile on his face, circling among the princes.Chongli sneered secretly, in his previous life he never realized that Bai Muxuan had such abilities.

Sensing a cold and sharp gaze staring at him from behind, Bai Muxuan turned his head vigilantly, only to find that it was Prince Yan Qingxuan who was smiling and looking at them, and behind him stood a few attendants with expressionless faces.While coping with Yan Qingyu's greetings, he observed the surrounding situation calmly.

Maybe it was because Bai Muxuan was by his side, Yan Qingyu introduced the reclusive fifth younger brother to Bai Muxuan, and asked him about his younger brother's physical condition.

Bai Muxuan smiled and watched these two people show the so-called "brothers and brothers respect" in front of him, and secretly mocked, as expected, all brothers in the royal family are like this.

If this idiot in front of him hadn't relied on his uncle Yuan Tian, ​​Xu Yang would have belonged to Chu State long ago, and the 30 soldiers and horses would have fallen into his hands, instead of being controlled by his father because of his lack of experience. .The two sides had been stalemate outside Xu City for more than three months, so that he returned without success, and most of the good horses who were robbed of the horse farm had to swallow their anger, otherwise his suspicious father would find out that he had privately raised war horses, and he would be killed. Even the title of the titular prince can't be kept.

I don't know who gave this idiot the idea of ​​peace talks between the two countries and the opening of salt and iron trade, but it just happened to give him a chance.Didn't his father always want him to be a puppet, so let them watch.Since he was asked to assist the Ministry of Households to complete the salt and iron trade, then he will assist the Ministry of Households well. On the surface, it seems that his second brother is firmly in control of the Ministry of Households, but he does not know that the Ministry of Households has been held by him when he was the prince. Otherwise, where would the money come from to raise so many horses privately.

Since he lost so many war horses, he will get them back from this salt and iron trade.

Zhong Li quietly watched the changes in Bai Muxuan's eyes. Here, Yan Qingmin had finished the drama with Yan Qingyu's brothers and sisters. Yan Luoshang and Empress Yuan supported Empress Dowager Mu with his many concubines before leaving slowly. Come.

At the top of Tongle Hall sits Yanluo Shang, who is over 50 years old, in the middle of the hall. On the upper left is Empress Dowager Mu, who is full of hair, and Empress Yuan sits next to Yanluo Shang on the right. Sitting in one place is also a good match.All the people sat down after saluting to the first head.

And the three people in the upper class were all concerned about Yan Qingmin's physical condition. If it weren't for the sharpness in Yan Luoshang's eyes, the resentment and viciousness in the eyes of Queen Yuan and Queen Mother Mu, the tone of concern from the heart is really enjoyable .It wasn't until Yan Qingmin finished answering their inquiries tremblingly that they turned their attention to Bai Muxuan who was sitting with Yan Qingyu.After some inquiries about "It's hard work for distinguished guests to come from afar" and a few compliments of "a dragon and a phoenix among people", the banquet officially began.

Chongli glanced contemptuously at Yanluoshang, and then sympathetically at Yan Qingmin who had been "cared for" by these people for more than [-] years.

Also paying attention to Yan Qingmin is Bai Muxuan. According to the report from the spies, this sick and weak prince is actually the grandson of the leader of Mingjiao.After the death of his mother, he has been living in the imperial palace, not only not loved by Yanluo Shang, but also squeezed out by other brothers.In fact, no matter which country, the prince with a powerful mother clan is not only a son in the eyes of the superior, but also an enemy who threatens his country.Mingjiao's influence in Jianghu these years is not as good as before, but judging from the news he got, Mingjiao should be hiding its strength.But it's a little strange to sit back and watch Yan Qingmin's situation these years. There may be some unknown secrets in it...Let's take a look first before making any plans.

During the banquet, Bai Muxuan drank fine wine and chatted humorously with Yan Qingyu and Yan Qingmin from time to time, which attracted many female relatives to look shyly at them, and also attracted a lot of jealous eyes.While sipping the wine, from the corner of his eyes, Bai Muxuan saw the third prince Yan Qinghuan approaching with a glass of wine angrily, while the second prince Yan Qinghuan next to him was gloating.

But when he saw Yan Qinghuan turned his direction, Yan Qingyu was stunned for a moment and then resumed gloating.He thought that the third child would find trouble with Yan Qingyu, who had taken away his rights in the household department, but he turned to the fifth child after being glared at by the boss.

Bai Muxuan was thinking about how to get closer to Yan Qingmin, seeing this situation, he knew his chance had come.This time, if Yan Qingmin, the unfavorable prince, can be persuaded to negotiate a deal with Mingjiao, those war horses used to exchange for salt and iron and the salt and iron in exchange will all fall into his pocket.Thinking of Mingjiao, I can't help but think of that mysterious and indifferent young man who doesn't know his name...

Chongli also buckled a small silver bead in his hand, just waiting for Yan Qinghuan to come over and make a fool of himself.

Yan Qinghuan, who didn't want to pass by Yan Qingyu's side, suddenly tilted his body and spilled a glass of wine on Bai Muxuan. Among the several people, Longfeng secretly made comparisons.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Yan Qinghuan looked at the wine stains on Bai Muxuan's apricot-yellow robe, and then at his livid handsome face.Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yan Qingyu was looking at him with sarcasm, and when he remembered that the other party was closest to him when his ankle was numb, he suddenly threw away the wine glass and rushed towards Yan Qingyu.Now that this is the case, it is impossible for anyone to just mess up the peace talks.

Chongli looked at Bai Muxuan's stiff expression and maintained a graceful demeanor, then looked at the two brothers fighting together, the noble black faces of the first three, and the whispers of the family members of the officials below, suddenly it was funny.

Yan Qingmin in front of him seemed to be sitting timidly with his head bowed, but from the angle of Chongli, he just saw this person holding back a smile.

Although Yan Qingyu practiced martial arts with his uncle since childhood, it took a lot of work to subdue Yan Qinghuan because of serious injuries, and he gagged and ordered the guards to take him down, and accompanied Bai Muxuan in person under the admiring eyes of the first three change clothes.

Yan Qinghuan's mother and concubine stopped his elder brother who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials with winks, and knelt down at the feet of the three of them... Yanluo Shang had to deal with family affairs, so the banquet ended.

When Chongli and the others returned to the inner hall of Dexuan Palace, Ling Qingxuan had been waiting inside for a long time.

"Brother." Yan Qingmin said warmly.

"En." Ling Qingxuan stopped Chongli from saluting, and turned to look at Yan Qingmin's expression.

"It's really much better, Ah Li's medical skills are good."

"...I saw everything just now." Ling Qingxuan looked at the rare excitement in Yan Qingmin's eyes with some amusement.

"Brother, when can I practice martial arts?... In this way at least I can protect myself and avoid unnecessary troubles." At the banquet just now, Yan Qinghuan clearly wanted to trouble him.

"When you are all well and your meridians are unobstructed, you can learn some simple self-defense moves. As for the more advanced ones, I am afraid it will be difficult. After all, I found out that you are too late, so that the best time has passed." Ling Qingxuan looked at his brother's eyes. Yin Qin felt very guilty. In fact, he had already met Yan Qingmin when he was exploring Dexuan Palace, but at that time he only thought that it was a puppet substitute found by Yanluo Shang, and his heart was full of anger, so he didn't investigate carefully...

"This is already very good." Yan Qingmin said with a smile, "Brother, Yanluo Shang asked me to accompany that Bai Muxuan for a few days..." Just before the banquet ended, Yanluo Shang ordered him to apologize for a few days He Yanqingyu accompanied Bai Muxuan around the capital.

"A Li, what do you think?" Ling Qingxuan turned his head to look at the silent Chongli. He just punished Yan Qinghuan before Chongli made a move, but he didn't want him to be noticed by Bai Muxuan.Seeing that Chongli looked at them with some hesitation, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But it's okay to say."

"Master, you should first tell me about Bai Muxuan's recent situation, such as the racecourse and... the subordinates can analyze one or two." Zhongli did not lift his head while making tea.

"Most of the good horses in his racecourse were robbed by us, and the Emperor Chu blamed him for not taking Xu Yang, so he gave up the Le Family Army." Ling Qingxuan looked at Wuzi's busy Chongli with slightly narrowed eyes.

Chongli knew that Ling Qingxuan didn't want to hear his opinion, but asked him to analyze it for Yan Qingmin.Then he poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus tea for each of them, and made some when he was bored last time, this tea is good for the stomach. "I heard that Bai Muxuan came this time to assist the Ministry of Households in discussing the salt and iron trade. We all know about the assistance in the palace, so today's matter will be known to everyone with Yan Qingyu's "cooperation", at least everyone will know about it." Let those people in the Chu Kingdom know that the aggrieved image of Prince Mu who was humiliated at the banquet and unwilling to be busy for others, but who had to obey the emperor's order will definitely reassure the Chu emperor... In fact, he has long been in control to the Department of Accounting,"

"He has been in control of the household department for a long time? Yingtang only found out that he has placed people in the other five departments." Ling Qingxuan rubbed the white porcelain cup, smelling the tea and talking to himself.

"Because of Chu's relationship with Beiman, Chu accepted Luo Concubine... that is, General Luo's proposal, and issued a 'horse raising order' to raise horses and pay taxes on behalf of the horses. The eunuch who is in charge of Chu's chariots and horses is ranked among the nine ministers. At that time, there were not only ranks and salaries from the imperial servants down to the prefectures and counties, but also rewards if the horses were strong and completed the harvest. Both the folks and the officials tried their best to exchange the fine-bred foals from Beiman to become famous draft horses... …Later, only Priest Jiuyuan of Bianjun was allowed to tame war horses for wartime and people’s needs, so Bai Muxuan dared not let people find out that he was raising war horses in private.”

Chongli sipped sweet-scented osmanthus tea lightly, and continued: "Chu's salt production is still self-sufficient, but iron is very reluctant, and only the horses are excellent. In the past, they often exchanged salt and iron from Yan Kingdom at a low price, and often obtained it at a low price. Salt trades iron with Beiman."

"The last time they traded low-priced salt and iron with Yan Kingdom was five years ago,
