Jing Yu took Bai Jin to help him up the mountain, and told him along the way that he should follow him closely after going up the mountain, be cautious in his words and deeds, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, as if he was facing an enemy.

Bai Jin nodded one by one like helping a chicken pecking at rice. He was almost certain in his heart that the dignified Marquis of Ning'an could be at his side. The only person who was so careful was his biological father with this body, the current emperor Longqing himself. .

But Emperor Longqing still doesn't know that his Seventh Prince is still alive, so even if the father and son meet today, it's just that they don't know each other even if they meet.

But, why did Emperor Longqing, who was supposed to be in the palace, come to Lianhua Temple today?

And looking at this low-key travel, it is still a visit in microservices.

Bai Jinfu climbed up the stairs behind Jing Yu, looked up at the mountain top hidden in the sea of ​​clouds, he knew who lived on the top of the mountain, and this was the original purpose of his trip.

The one who lives there is Ji Fengyao, the current national teacher of the Daliu Dynasty, with the Taoist name "Zi Duan".

Although Emperor Longqing said he was getting stronger with age, the older he was, the more he was afraid of death. So in his later years, he was devoted to Taoism and recruited Taoist priests who were good at alchemy to refine elixirs for him in order to prolong his life.

Ji Fengyao was not a native of Daliu. He came to Daliu from the Baiyue Kingdom in the east ten years ago. Because of his superb alchemy and divination skills, he was worshiped as a national teacher by Emperor Longqing and won the favor of Emperor Longqing.

Ji Fengyao was arrogant and unruly by nature, he didn't like to live in the palace and be restricted, so Emperor Longqing built him a residence at the top of Lianhua Temple, and Ji Fengyao stayed on the mountain to help Emperor Longqing refine the elixir and wait for the call from the palace. I usually don't go down the mountain.

So today, Emperor Longqing condescended to come to find Ji Fengyao, it was really strange.

The national teacher Ji Fengyao is one of the members of the slag attack group. Bai Jinfu still remembers that the description of Ji Fengyao in the plot is "evil, charming and crazy". This guy is not only good at alchemy, but also proficient in pharmacology and witchcraft. According to the plot In order to possess and control him, Ji Fengyao often resorted to obscene methods, drugged him, and made him obey Ji Fengyao and do everything he could, just like turning into a dog that can only wag its tail. Lost the dignity of being a human being.

Ji Fengyao can be said to be the most possessive and controlling of these scumbags, so the way he will be treated in the future will definitely be the worst, so after Bai Jinfu found out that the female family members of the Hou Mansion will come to Lianhua to worship God today, , deliberately looking for an opportunity to attract Jing Haoyuan's attention, and came to Lianhua Temple under the guise of Jing Haoyuan.

He originally wanted to strike first, to see if he could find an opportunity to kill Ji Fengyao, a dangerous element first.

It's a pity that the timing of today's visit is obviously not coincidental.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw many people dressed as inner guards standing outside holding their knives, enclosing Ji Fengyao's alchemy room as airtight as an iron barrel. The mountain was very quiet, no one dared to speak loudly. The whistling wind and rustling leaves.

Jing Yu ordered Bai Jinfu to wait for him at the same place, and first stepped forward and asked a man dressed as an emissary guarding the door: "Mr. Wang's official, can the Holy Majesty have any oral instructions?"

Wang Neiguan shook his hands and said in a low voice: "Not yet, I guess it will take a while. By the way, Lord Hou, our family heard that King Lie and the eldest grandson of the emperor are here?"

Jing Yu nodded helplessly, Wang Neiguan then sighed: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, what do you think should be done?"

Jing Yu didn't say much, and after asking about the situation inside, he stepped aside, walked under a tree and waited for orders, and then waved to Bai Jinfu to signal him to come over to his side.

Bai Jin Fu trotted to Jing Yu's side, his pure and clear eyes rolled around, observing the surroundings like a vigilant little animal, and asked nervously, "Master Hou, why are there so many people with knives on the top of this mountain?" people?"

Jing Yu stretched out his hand to straighten Bai Jin's shoulders, and put his hands on the back of his head to keep him from turning around, "Forget what I just said? Don't look around."

Bai Jin Fu hurriedly stood at attention as if he knew he had made a mistake, and said sincerely, "I was wrong."

Seeing how well-behaved he was, Jing Yu had a sudden thought, and couldn't help patting the back of his head lightly, as if stroking the head of a kitten or puppy. Bai Jinfu turned his head and looked at him blankly and blinked. , Jing Yu immediately realized that his actions just now seemed to be too intimate, and quickly tilted his head and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Bai Jinfu suddenly pulled Jing Yu's sleeve, tilted his head towards Jing Yu, and asked mysteriously, "Master Hou, can I ask you something?"

Jing Yu looked ahead, and returned to his normal expression, "Say it."

Bai Jinfu hesitated for a while, and asked: "The person inside is... the emperor?"

Jing Yu lowered his head and glanced at him, "How can you see that?"

Bai Jinfu played with his sleeves with his fingers, and said slowly: "Lianhua Temple is just a Taoist temple, suddenly the eldest grandson of the emperor and the king of Lie came, and now there are so many guards around the mountain, you are dignified and peaceful." Marquis An, apart from the emperor, I don't think there is anyone else who can make you do what you say, right?"

Jing Yu raised his eyebrows, stared at Bai Jinfu in surprise, and jokingly said, "It's really rare that you have a bright mind."

Bai Jinfu glared at Jing Yu pretending to be dissatisfied, and muttered, "I'm just not smart enough, and I'm not a fool, so it's no surprise to guess it." When it reached Jing Yu's neck, he asked uncertainly, "So the person inside is really the emperor?"

Jing Yu looked down at him who was nervous and excited, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he nodded acquiescingly.

Bai Jinfu swallowed his saliva, a little at a loss, didn't know where to put his hands, and whispered: "Then I will be able to see the emperor later? My God, I will be able to see the emperor one day." True Dragon Emperor! I don’t know if the emperor is scary or not..."

Jing Yu couldn't listen any longer, and pressed Bai Jin's fidgeting hand funnyly, "Calm down, the emperor is also a human being, with two eyes and one nose, it's not as scary as you think, when the emperor comes out, you just stand there Behind me, don't attract attention."

Bai Jinfu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

The two stood side by side under the tree, looking at the scenery below the mountain for a while, but there was no movement in the alchemy room.

Bai Jinfu was a little tired from standing, shook his head, and asked boredly: "Master Hou, doesn't the emperor live in the palace? Why did he come to Lianhua Temple?"

Jing Yu said with a straight face: "You can also intervene about the emperor's affairs?"

Bai Jin Fu hurriedly lowered his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, Lord Hou, I was the one who talked too much."

Jing Yu looked at his cowardly look, and suddenly laughed lowly, "I'm teasing you."

Bai Jinfu: "..." The jokes of serious people are not funny at all.

"Actually, it's not a secret. Discussions about this matter in Beijing have been spreading for a long time. It's just that you don't know about it because you don't usually go out of the house. It's okay to tell you." Jing Yu said lightly, "The emperor has been worrying about the proton recently. bother."

Bai Jinfu was confused: "Proton?"

Jing Yu said: "Beiliang, Baiyue, Xiliang and our Daliu are now divided into four parts of the world. Before that, the great general Jiang Shuheng beheaded [-] prisoners of the Beiliang army and angered the royal court of Beiliang. There is information that the King of Beiliang is actively forming an alliance with Xiliang and plans to jointly attack Daliu, so Daliu can only resist the alliance between the two countries with the support of Baiyue. But the condition of the alliance proposed by the King of Baiyue is that the two countries exchange protons. The only heirs of the emperor are the Crown Prince and the King Lie, so the Prince cannot go to another country as a hostage, so the hostage can only be chosen between the eldest grandson of the Emperor and the King Lie."

Bai Jinfu laughed secretly, so it was so, no wonder Duan Wuji and Duan Tingxu's uncle and nephew came to Lianhua Temple at the same time, it turned out that it was the result of being anxious to know who would be the hostess.

In fact, Emperor Longqing had quite a few heirs, including seven princes alone. If it had been ten or twenty years ago, he would not have been so embarrassing about choosing a proton.

But the blame is that Emperor Longqing lived for too long. The average life expectancy of the ancients was not high. Even the pampered prince, how long he can live depends on luck.

Of Emperor Longqing's seven sons, two died young, and two did not survive Emperor Longqing. They passed away several years ago. Only the crown prince, the fifth prince, and Bai Jinfu, the seventh prince who lived and died outside the country, are still alive.

The prince cannot be a hostage, but the eldest grandson of the emperor can replace him. Duan Wuji was born in the year when Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, so he was loved by Emperor Longqing since he was a child. In recent years, because Emperor Longqing didn't like the prince's indecisive character, he also valued King Lie a lot, and King Lie was very good at making Emperor Longqing happy, so the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and the old emperor was reluctant to send anyone to Baiyue as a proton.

However, all civil and military officials would go up every day to ask Emperor Longqing to make an early decision on the candidate for the proton. Emperor Longqing was annoyed by the ministers in the palace, so he went out of the palace in low clothes and came to Lianhua Temple to ask Ji Fengyao for divination. If it's not the decision whether to give up the grandson or the son, then it's better to leave everything to God's will.

Bai Jin rested his chin on an armrest, listened carefully to Jing Yu's explanation, and asked, "Don't the princes who passed away have no heirs?"

Jing Yu said indifferently: "Baiyue people are not stupid. How can a grandson of the emperor who has no favor and no right be a hostage, how can he play the role of restraining the alliance?"

"That's right." Bai Jinfu nodded half-understood, and said abruptly after a while, "It would be great if there was a third prince here, so there's no need to be so embarrassing."

Jing Yu was almost amused by Bai Jin Futian's innocent words, "The emperor only has so many heirs, and the blood of the emperor's heirs cannot be tarnished, so where can there be an extra prince?"

The curve of Bai Jinfu's lips was strange, and he pretended to be casual and said, "I'm just talking casually."

He knew how Emperor Longqing remembered his son who was living outside.

I can't think of him when good things happen, but when there are bad things, I think of him.

The current plot must be Ji Fengyao's idea for Emperor Longqing, so that Emperor Longqing remembered that he had a seventh son, so the proton problem was easily solved.

They were both born of the same father. The crown prince and Lie Wang were pampered in the capital, enjoying the glory and wealth, but the seventh prince was a pitiful little one, even if he was living among the people, he would be taken back and sent to another country as a hostage. The father of Emperor Longqing It's really wicked, he. Mom opened the door to the wickedness-the wickedness has reached home.

If there were no people around, Bai Jinfu would have looked up to the sky and laughed three times. How could his Bai Jinfu's life be so miserable?

Sure enough, after a while, Wang Neiguan called Jing Yu from behind: "Your Majesty! The Emperor has come out!"

Jing Yu hurriedly strode over, while Bai Jinfu followed closely behind Jing Yu with his head down.

Emperor Longqing came out of the alchemy room wearing ordinary clothes and supported by the inner officer. Although his beard and hair were all white, he was strong and energetic, and he did not look old at all.

His face was rosy, sweeping away the gloom of being uncertain about the candidate for the proton during this period of time, he was smiling, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Where's Jing Yu?" Emperor Longqing asked in a deep voice.

Jing Yu stepped forward a few steps, saluted and said, "The minister is here."

"I and Mrs. Lianshu once had the seventh prince. Unfortunately, the seventh prince was lost and wandered among the people because of poor care by the palace staff. Yesterday, Mrs. Lianshu entrusted me with a dream that the seventh prince was still alive. Please find him back. According to my decree, I order all the government offices of the prefectures to search for the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince, and they must be found within two months." Emperor Longqing finished his pre-compiled reasons, paused, looked at Jing Yu and said, "Looking for the seventh prince." I will leave it to you to go back to the Seventh Prince, you made a mistake last time when you inspected the salt affairs, don't let me down this time."

After hearing this, Jing Yu was surprised for a long time, inexplicably recalling what Bai Jinfu said just now, he didn't expect that a prince would really appear after his words became a prophecy?

Jing Yu immediately understood Emperor Longqing's plan. If the Seventh Prince could be found, he would naturally be the best candidate for the proton. As for whether the recovered Seventh Prince is real or not, it probably doesn't matter at all.

"Okay, I've been out for half a day, and I'm tired, so let's go back to the palace."

Emperor Longqing got into the sedan chair and waved his hand to signal the guards to lift up the sedan chair and walk down the mountain.

Jing Yu finally came to his senses, and hurriedly chased the team going up and down the mountain, "Mr. Wang, please stay!"

"What else is there to do, Lord Hou?" Wang's nephew stopped and waited for Jing Yu. He had served Emperor Longqing for decades and was the oldest eunuch in the palace. He knew almost all the secrets in the palace.

Jing Yu cupped his hands and saluted, "I still want to ask Wang's nephew, the emperor asked me to look for the seventh prince. I don't know when and where the seventh prince disappeared. What age should he be this year?"

Wang Neiguan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, regarding the files of the Seventh Prince's missing case, after our house returns, the servant will sort it out and send it to your house."

"Thank you so much." Jing Yu said again, "By the way, I have another question. Is there anything on the Seventh Prince that can prove his identity? For example, tokens, birthmarks, etc.?"

Wang Neiguan rolled his eyes up and recalled, "Birthmark... Oh! Our family remembered that when the Seventh Prince was born, the imperial doctor said that the Seventh Prince had three red moles on his left buttock. Find someone with this birthmark."

Bai Jinfu, who had been listening to their conversation behind Jing Yu, had his eyelids twitch several times when he heard this.

Dog system, you really have it, it's quite a scam.

So if you want to prove that he is the seventh prince, you have to take off your pants to show your ass?

Bai Jinfu was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he finally knew how those scumbags recognized his identity as the prince.

Bai Jinfu looked at Jing Yu's back and clenched his fists restrainedly.

The only thing that can make him feel lucky now is that Jing Yu is a straight man.
