The prince stared blankly at the reduced version of the portrait. Even though the scroll was only the size of a palm, the female accounted for more than half of it. I don't know whose painting it is. The painting skills are superb and skillful, and all the smiles and smiles of the female are drawn.

The woman is undoubtedly very good-looking, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, looking forward, as if she is so focused on the person who painted her.

But what made the prince stunned was not the girl's good looks, but the facial features of the other party were [-]% like his. Not only that, the other party's belly was slightly bulging, and it was obvious that she was at least five months pregnant when the portrait was taken.

The prince's mind was in a mess for a while, he didn't know who this woman was, but it gave him a very familiar feeling, he stiffened his neck and turned his head to read the line.

If he saw a woman who looked so similar to him, he would already feel uneasy, and when he saw the words next to him, he would be even more shocked.

【Li Tongwan—Lenggong in August of the second year of Chengxian】

At the bottom is the seal of the person who painted this scroll, which was painted by a man named Pu Yunyu.

The prince stared at these two names in a daze. He stared at them and felt that these two names were very familiar, especially the man who painted this picture, Pu Yunyu...

Soon the prince finally remembered who this person was, Pu Bo, named Yunyu, former prince Shaofu, died of serious illness in the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Chengxian.

The reason why the prince remembers this name is because this person is extremely talented.

When Emperor Cheng Zhao was still alive, the other party was Emperor Cheng Zhao's right-hand man. After the death of Emperor Cheng Zhao, the other party resigned from the post of Taifu, but was later retained by his father and worked as a writer in the Imperial Academy.

He has been in office for less than three years, but he has written many amazing masterpieces and gained a great reputation. Even many years after his death, those books he wrote are sometimes taken out by students as models.

And the prince's teacher is also a classmate of this former young master, and he mentioned him before, which is quite regrettable.

But the crown prince clearly remembered that the former young master hadn't married a wife when he died, and this Li Tongwan... who was it?If it is a concubine in the harem, why would she stay in the cold palace even if she is pregnant with an heir?He didn't remember such a concubine, not to mention, how could the former young master draw such a picture in private?

Unless this Li Tongwan...is not a concubine, but a maidservant of the Leng Palace.

Her surname is Li and she works as a maidservant in the palace, so she still knows this former young Fu.

In the prince's mind, a person came to mind, the former envoy of the Li Yuan of the Taiyuan Hospital. Because of the flood in the palace not long after the death of Emperor Cheng Zhao, many medical books were burned, including the prescription for curing the plague that Emperor Cheng Zhao had found back then.

After the incident, the father was furious, and the envoy of Li Yuan was the first to be among them. It is said that it was caused by the other party's dereliction of duty. .

The rest of the imperial physicians involved in this matter soon retired and returned home.

The reason why the crown prince was able to connect Pu Yunyu with the Li family was because the former young Fu had an in-law relationship with the Li family, and his ex-fiancee was the daughter of the Li family. A slave in the palace.

The prince held the picture scroll tightly. He pursed his lips and looked at the woman's belly in the picture scroll, and then at the date, but his fingers holding the picture scroll couldn't help trembling. His face turned pale and his breathing became short of breath.

He was born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Chengxian.

What does the person who got this painting ask him to look at it?What does it mean that this woman is so similar to him?

If the woman is alive, or her child is still alive... Counting the days, it was born in about the same month as him.

Huo Jinzhou has been secretly looking at the picture scroll since the prince started to look at it, and found that the prince's face became more and more wrong, and his eye circles suddenly turned red, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the scroll were furious, as if he would go crazy and tear up the scroll in the next moment.

"Your Highness!" Huo Jinzhou was taken aback and quickly reminded him.

The prince stiffened his neck and turned his eyes from the painting to Huo Jinzhou, and pinched the scroll in his palm to destroy it little by little: "Huo, Jin, Zhou, who gave this to you?"

Huo Jinzhou was stunned by the prince's eyes and shuddered: "Yes, yes... the prince of Beiming."

The prince's breath became short of breath, Xia Houqian!It turned out to be Xia Houqian!

What does he want to do?What is he trying to say?

Huo Jinzhou hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look any more. He continued with a trembling voice: "He also said... this scroll was just copied by someone, and the original copy is still in his hands. He said that if His Highness read this scroll, he should know that he wants to What are you talking about? Not only the painting, but he also has witnesses, saying that he wants to cooperate with His Highness."

The prince was very angry and laughed back: "Cooperate with Gu? How can he cooperate with Gu as a bereaved dog?"

Huo Jinzhou heard the creaking sound of the prince grinding his teeth above his head, as if he was about to tear himself apart. It was the first time he saw the prince getting so angry, and his whole body shivered.

But now that things have come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and continue: "Your Highness, this, this is what Xia Houqian said...not what my subordinates mean. He said, said that if His Highness has no intention of cooperating, he can cooperate." Prince Rui cooperates, I believe Prince Rui is very happy to know about it."

After Huo Jinzhou finished speaking, he did not hear the voice of the crown prince above his head for a long time. After a long time, just when Huo Jinzhou thought that the crown prince was about to lose his temper, the crown prince calmed down instead: "Where is he?"

Huo Jinzhou wanted to raise his head unexpectedly, but stopped abruptly in the middle of it: "He said he would give His Highness a day to think about it, and he would come back tomorrow night to let his subordinates inform the meeting place, but he just told His Highness not to play tricks, otherwise, his people will Immediately spread the word to everyone who knows."

The prince sat down quietly at this moment, staring at Huo Jinzhou: "So, how much do you know?"

Huo Jinzhou started to break out in cold sweat all over his body: "I don't know anything! I don't know anything. I just don't want to be abandoned by His Highness. That's why I came here to spread the word. The other subordinates really don't know anything!"

The prince seemed to believe it, and he waved his hand after a long time: "You step back."

Huo Jinzhou didn't know what to do. How angry the prince was just now, he was as scared as he was calm now.

The prince sat there without moving for a long time until Huo Jinzhou left. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly unfolded the picture scroll that was crumpled by him. He looked at the picture scroll with distorted faces. He is average.

The prince laughed softly, he didn't even need to see witnesses, he actually believed it...

If the father spared no effort to cultivate him, then his good mother seemed to just want him to be the crown prince from the beginning to the end.

From childhood to adulthood, the queen mother was harsh and indifferent to him, but she was so kind to his sister, the eldest princess, who was only one year younger than him.

The queen mother always said that because he is the heir of the emperor, he needs to fight. Only by securing this position can he prevent the second and fourth princes from Concubine Liu Gui from overpowering her.

But the eldest princess is different, she does all this for his own good, so once he suffers the slightest mistake, the most severe punishment awaits him.

The more he wanted to be the prince, the more he didn't want to disappoint them, but it seemed that he couldn't do well.

But now she told him that maybe all of this was not because the queen mother was strict with him, but because she wanted him to gain a foothold, just because... maybe he wasn't her flesh and blood at all.

One is just a pawn to secure her position as queen.

On the other side, Huo Jinzhou breathed a sigh of relief after sneaking out of the prince's tent, and hurried back to his side, but he was not sure, and even wondered what the picture scroll Xia Houqian gave the prince?Why does the prince have that expression?

It's too weird.

If he had known it earlier, he would have taken a sneak peek. At that time, he was also afraid that if there was something on the scroll, it would be bad if he got caught by peeking.

As a result...the opportunity was lost.

Huo Jinzhou didn't know that he had already reported to Wei Yin his every move.

Wei Yi told everything: "My lord, the third son of the Huo family met the person who sneaked into the team earlier, and that person seemed to give something to the third son of Huo. Not long after, the third son of Huo begged to see the prince and stayed in the prince's tent. It took half an hour before he left. What did he say specifically and what did his subordinates not find out? That person is extra vigilant, his martial arts are not weak, and his subordinates are afraid of being discovered... If necessary, ask your subordinates Continue to explore?"

Wei Yin fiddled with the chessboard lazily, said with a blank expression and didn't care too much: "No need, continue to let people monitor the movement of the prince, and report when there is news."

If the other party really has something to tempt the prince, then the prince will definitely take action.

Why bother to inquire so hard, he will know when the time comes, he is not in a hurry.

Wei Yi thought for a while, obeyed his orders, and left.

Wei Yin played a game of chess by himself but always felt that there was something wrong with it. He played chess with himself for so many years and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. But since he played chess with someone, he didn't want to play chess by himself.

Seeing that it was still early, Wei Yin called out an attendant again: "What is Jing Er doing?"

The attendant was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked someone to ask him. When he came back, he replied: "There is no movement in the carriage of Mr. Jing Er, it seems... that he has rested."

Wei Yin:? ?He looked at the time in the hourglass, did he go to bed so early?He was traveling in the carriage during the day, but slept more than half of the time!sleep again?How can I sleep?

But looking at the chessboard... In the end, he waved his hand and continued playing.

When Jing Changji was drowsy in the carriage the next day, he always felt like he was being stared at by something, fluffy.When he unexpectedly opened his eyes and looked in that direction, he found that Wei Yin was not drinking tea but was looking at him from half the carriage.

Jing Changji sat up straight to wake himself up: "My lord, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with the lower officials?"

What's wrong with this man?Does he have flowers on his face?Play chess or drink tea all day, or just sleep, or just watch him?

How about seeing if he can shorten the time on the road?

Wei Yin didn't have time to look back when Jing Changji looked over, and coughed lowly: "It's nothing, this king sees Lord Jing sleeping so soundly, and wonders if Lord Jing should come to sleep on the soft couch? This king can change his position?"

"This...isn't it good?" How dare Jing Changji?

Wei Yin insisted on shaking his head: "No, I have been suffering from insomnia recently, and I think that maybe I can sleep better in a different position." He felt that the feng shui on his carriage might be bad, so would it be easier to sleep better in Jing Changji's position?

Otherwise, why does he feel that Jing Er either eats or sleeps all day long?

Jing Changji: "..." Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say.

So the two quickly changed positions. Wei Yin sat in Jing Changji's position, with his back leaning against the wall of the car, staggering and feeling sleepy, not as good as his previous position.

As a result, she turned her head and found that someone was wrapped in a thin blanket and had fallen asleep, sleeping better than before.

Wei Yin looked at the ray of light cast by the window sill that happened to shine on Jing Changji's face, and he pinched the other's cheeks that were extraordinarily white and greasy by the light. For some reason, a charming image flashed in his mind, and he froze. There, in the next moment, he quickly retracted his hand and turned his head away, feeling that he was really getting more and more wrong.

Could it be that the formula that Doctor Qin changed earlier still has this effect?
