When Emperor Changping's last words fell, Sikong had no luck left in his heart. He lowered his head and lay down on the spot dejectedly, his back still heaving violently.

If it weren't for the messy first-grade official robe on his body, Sikong's gray and white messy hair that had been completely freed from the hair crown and his stooped posture, he might have been recognized as an old beggar on the street.

Emperor Changping turned his eyes away from Sikong, and calmly looked at the courtiers who were sizing him up secretly.

Every courtier who met Emperor Changping's gaze immediately made an evasive gesture, and some people who were particularly timid would have weak legs.

The suffocating silence spread silently, and even if Emperor Changping did not lose his temper, every courtier could feel his anger.

The Shangzhou case that shocked the entire Yu Dynasty set off unprecedented waves in Chang'an.

Since Sikong was imprisoned, the courtiers realized that they had thought about this matter too simply. The culprit in the Shangzhou case not only means that the powerful officials and his faction at the forefront of the court will collapse, but also bring countless troubles. Influence.

No matter how capable Sikong is, he can't hide the news of Shangzhou and even the entire Shannan East Road by himself. There must be a party behind him.

The status of these fellow parties in the court is not as high as Sikong, but their influence is not necessarily less than that of Sikong. When the influence of the same party is superimposed, it can even be said to be far greater than Sikong's influence.

With the complex in-law relationship in Chang'an, no one can guarantee that when they help some relatives casually, they will not inadvertently give convenience to Sikong and his faction.

Sikong is like the most luxuriant ancient tree in the middle of the forest. Seen from above, it is only half taller than the surrounding trees. When viewed from the ground, the roots of the tree are closely connected with all the surrounding trees, and the remaining trees influence the surroundings and depend on it. Flowers and plants that can only grow.

When this tree falls, the whole forest will inevitably be affected.

With more and more Jinwu Guards on the street and fewer and fewer people in the court, the courtiers even began to miss the days when they quarreled with their colleagues in the court half a month ago over the ownership of the shit pot.

Although they were angry and tired every day during that time, at least they would not be in fear, worrying all night that the officials who had been arrested in Dali Temple would gossip about.

Every time I hear the news of who is in prison again, I have to carefully recall all the details of getting along with him, so that I can barely feel relieved.If there is something wrong in the process of recollection, I will bid farewell to Anshui from then on, and when I see the Jinwu Guard during the court, my heart will tremble for a while in panic.

In just three days, the number of courtiers who went to the court quietly decreased by one-sixth, and the courtiers who could still appear in the court hall were all downcast and unable to raise their spirits.

For example, Bai Qianli, Cui Taibao, Situ and the clan and nobles who were not implicated are no exception.

Bai Qianli and the others were already in a bad mood because of all kinds of rumors.

They waited until they were sure that Sikong was the culprit in the Shangzhou case. Before they had time to avenge their grievances and vengeance, they suddenly found that the people around them were also implicated. The stupid things I have done.

Although the clan and Xungui have made no mistakes themselves, the ignorant juniors or short-sighted in-laws in the family have their own worries.

Originally, the courtiers hoped that the Shangzhou case would become a complete blowout, trying to gain more benefits from it.Now that the Shangzhou case was boiling as they wished, these people began to hope that Emperor Changping would take care of the turmoil brought about by the Shangzhou case and calm things down.

It's a pity that Emperor Changping didn't give them any chance to propose peace.

Regardless of whether the courtiers arrested in Dali Temple cooperated with the interrogation, it would not delay the speed of Emperor Changping's arrest.

Princess Anwu, who is in Shangzhou, will send someone eight hundred miles to send new evidence back to Chang'an urgently every day. The evidence is just enough to convict the two courtiers in Dali Temple who are unwilling to confess. courtiers.

Emperor Changping was furious and severely punished the courtiers who could be convicted even if they were unwilling to confess because of the evidence sent by Princess Anwu.

As long as the courtiers who can be convicted, as long as they can implicate the nine clans, they will never only punish the three clans, but if they can be exiled, they will never only be relegated.

Whoever pleads for him will be regarded as the same crime, and the lightest punishment will even be degraded by five levels.

In just the past two days, more and more courtiers in Dali Temple could not bear the tremendous pressure and began to confess.

Because these people let go, the prisons in Dali Temple were simply not enough, and the prisons in the Zongren Mansion had to be requisitioned.

After Emperor Changping came to the throne, he always showed tolerance to his subjects, even the empress dowager Jiang and Taishi Jiang who committed heinous crimes were more tolerant.Not only when they died, let the princes and daughters personally set up monuments for the Queen Mother Jiang and Taishi Jiang.It was also because they treated Jiang's family lightly, none of them were sentenced to death, and they were not exiled to the bitter cold areas in the frontier, but to the mining area.

Such a good-tempered Emperor Changping is now furious for the courtiers involved in the Shangzhou case every day. The Jinwu Guard even arrests criminals day and night. They all started to turn black.

How dare the courtiers ask Emperor Changping to calm things down and end the Shangzhou case as soon as possible with the least impact?

He could only pinch his nose to resist the thought of seeking revenge on Sikong Yidang, and softly persuaded Emperor Changping to calm down.

Someone purposely found King Qinghe and Duke Ying, implying that they wrote to Princess Anwu of Anye and King Xianglin, telling Princess Anwu to stop fighting.

When Ji Xinxue received the letter from Prince Qinghe, she wished that Yu Heng could write the word 'injustice' on his forehead for him.

Haven't the courtiers discovered until now that the so-called expedited [-] miles have no date?

It was clearly the memorial that he wrote down and sealed in one go in a whole day according to Emperor Changping's request.

When these memorials will appear in the court depends on Emperor Changping's thoughts, what does it have to do with him?

Before Ji Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Heng had strode up to Ji Xinxue with the envelope in his hand, "A letter from my grandfather sent me, and you were mentioned in it."

After finishing speaking, Yu Heng first read the letter from Prince Qinghe with Ji Xinxue's raised hand, and he said with a smile, "The contents of the grandfather's letter are similar to those of the uncle's letter, they are all advising us to investigate the Shangzhou case. Send all the progress to Chang'an, don't rush to irritate His Majesty with a letter of eight hundred li every day."

"Yeah." Ji Xinxue raised the corners of her lips, and read the letter from British Gong Yuheng word by word.

Compared with King Qinghe calling him and Yu Heng "naughty" in the letter, he reminded them bluntly at the end, don't forget that they will return to Chang'an sooner or later, be careful of being held hostage.The wording in the British official letter is extra cautious?

It's not like a letter from a grandfather to a grandson, but a letter from a grandson to his grandfather, and it has to be an unfavored grandson.

It's just forcing respectful concern into loving concern, which is awkward no matter how you look at it.

Ji Xinxue laughed at the nonsensical thoughts in her heart, and couldn't help shaking her head.

The British public is willing to be a 'grandson', which is better than a few years ago when Yu Heng was young and ignorant and alienated from the elders of the clan.

The two wrote back to King Qinghe and the Duke of England respectively, saying that they were prying open the mouths of the criminal officials one after another. In order to let Emperor Changping and the courtiers know the latest progress of the Shangzhou case in time, they often had new confessions and evidence. Let people rush to Chang'an eight hundred miles away.

In the past, it was obviously the courtiers of Chang'an who wished to expedite a letter of [-] miles a day, urging them to send all the latest news about the Shangzhou case to Chang'an, but now they let the courtiers of Chang'an fulfill their wish, and the courtiers of Chang'an are still not satisfied.

In order to avoid being difficult for the king of Qinghe County, Ji Xinxue specially asked the military guards of the Beijing suburban camp to deliver a letter, and at the same time told the Beijing suburban camp guards to bring some Shangzhou specialties to Zhong Shufei and Concubine Zhong Shu’s natal family, implying that the Beijing suburban camp guards could slow down Hurry back to Chang'an slowly.

Seeing this, Yu Heng also handed over the task of delivering the letter to the left guard of Princess An's Mansion.

After lunch, Ji Xinxue was about to say to Yu Heng, 'Go to the Bingtang Kiln and have a look', when suddenly she saw Jin Wuwei carrying a large wooden box to the study through the door of the side hall.

"This..." Ji Xinxue's eyes straightened, "This can't be a document sent by Ma Yu."

Yu Heng followed Ji Xinxue's gaze to see the wooden box carried by the Jin Wuwei, and smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth.

When Emperor Changping sent the military guards from the Daying Camp in the suburbs of Beijing to Shannan Dongdao, he also sent many middle and low-level officials, most of whom were confidantes of Emperor Changping when he was in the hidden residence.When he first came to the throne, there were internal and external troubles in the court. On the left was the Jiang family united with Bai Qianli, on the right was the Cui family who had suddenly recovered and prospered in the last years of Yanguang, and in the middle were Sikong and Situ who had stood firm for decades in the Yanguang Dynasty. He really didn't have room to arrange his henchmen, so he didn't do it right away.

After the fall of the Jiang family, Emperor Changping promoted some confidants, most of whom were officials of the palace in Qiandi.

With Emperor Yanguang's precautions and harshness towards his son back then, it is conceivable that those who can become officials of the palace under the eyes of Emperor Yanguang are more than cautious and cannot be alone.

Emperor Changping was willing to promote these people, but he just did it casually.

In contrast, he paid more attention to the aides who had various status problems and were temporarily unable to enter the court, and the new scholars in the first year of Changping and the second year of Changping.

Most of the people who were sent to Shannan Dongdao to supplement middle and low-level officials this time were Jinshi selected by Emperor Changping after successive envoys.The staff of Qiandi also changed their appearances and mixed into the new division Jinshi, with the exception of Ma Yu.

After getting along for a short time, Ji Xinxue already knew why Emperor Changping didn't give Ma Yu the status of Jinshi in the new department before, and didn't give Ma Yu a formal official position this time.

He had never seen someone as autistic as Ma Yu.

As long as there are more than two people in sight, Ma Yu will hide in a corner.

Whenever someone touches Ma Yu, he will immediately faint

Ji Xinxue suspected that Ma Yu was a person with a story, because of his special experience that formed his current autistic personality, so he asked about it once in a letter to Emperor Changping.

It's a pity that Emperor Changping didn't solve Ji Xinxue's confusion, but just reminded Ji Xinxue not to treat Ma Yu harshly, and if Ma Yu wanted to start a family, let Ji Xinxue make the decision for Ma Yu.

Ji Xinxue couldn't help and Yu Heng lamented Emperor Changping's concern for Ma Yu. Although Emperor Changping cared about his children, he only cared about his children, not the kind of character who would specifically care about the younger generation.

Looking at the entire clan, only Yu Heng, Ji Cheng, and Princess Dehui allowed Emperor Changping to personally care about the marriage.

Emperor Changping felt ashamed of Yu Heng, and had long said that he would treat Yu Heng as his own son.

Although Ji Cheng is not the eldest grandson of Prince Qinghe, he is the youngest grandson, he is still the youngest son of Prince Qinghe, and he is deeply loved by the elders of Prince Qinghe. Emperor Changping sincerely respects Prince Qinghe and regards Prince Qinghe as his brother. Take care of Ji Cheng.

Princess Dehui is the adopted daughter of Concubine Xian, because Concubine Xian and Empress Dowager Su have a good relationship, Princess Dehui spends almost half of her time in Empress Dowager Su's palace after she became sensible. , will also give preferential treatment to Princess Dehui.

Besides, Ji Xinxue never saw Emperor Changping caring about the younger generation.

Ma Yu looked to be in his early twenties, fair and thin, and in terms of age alone, he could be called a junior of Emperor Changping.

If Emperor Changping's emphasis on Ma Yu was only the boss's emphasis on employees, Ma Yu's abilities must far exceed the various troubles represented by his autistic personality.

Ji Xinxue soon saw Ma Yu's ability.

At the beginning, he used the assassination as an excuse to attack the sugar merchants, the county magistrate of Anye, and the governor of Shangzhou. He ransacked his home to find a breakthrough, first wiped out all the officials in the Anye industry, and then attacked the entire Shangzhou.

This process is not to say extremely difficult, at least it can be called a rush.

This time, Emperor Changping attacked the entire Shannan East Road and other places involved in the Shangzhou case at the same time. As the secret principal, Ma Yu had to deal with news from more than a dozen state capitals and more than a hundred county capitals at the same time, and there was nothing wrong with him. .

Yu Heng felt that Ji Xinxue took a high look at Ma Yu because she absolutely believed in Emperor Changping.

Compared to before, Ma Yu was far less worried than Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue not only has to consider how to wipe out the Jiangnan merchants and Shangzhou corrupt officials who have ulterior motives, but also worries that if things don't go according to plan and the criminal evidence of Anye county magistrate and Shangzhou governor is not successfully found, Chang'an will give the governor No matter how much pressure Emperor Ping and An Ye exerted, will the officials involved in the Shangzhou case retaliate? Ji Xinxue has already completed the whole matter with ninety steps, leaving only the final ten steps. It is not surprising that Ma Yu can walk calmly.

Ji Xinxue readily accepted Yu Heng's exaggeration, and her mood, which had been suppressed for a long time because of being recruited and the Shangzhou case, instantly cleared up.

He smiled and said to Yu Heng, "Don't be too harsh, Ma Yu is really nice."

If there is no Ma Yu, he and Yu Heng would have to go to places outside Shangzhou to sit in town, preside over the arrest of corrupt officials and the elimination of the law.

This process takes half a year at most, and three months at least. It will never be easier than when they searched for more evidence day and night.

Now that there is Ma Yu who works hard and works beautifully, he and Yu Heng can have a vacation!

Yu Heng's slightly stagnant face suddenly became relaxed when he heard Ji Xinxue say 'holiday', and the corners of his mouth that had been tense for a long time suddenly lifted, "Yes, Ma Yu is fine."

Ash is right!

The two reached a consensus, and immediately proposed to go to Zhuangzi to live for a while to recuperate, but when they were about to leave, they were blocked at the gate of the princess mansion by various documents sent by Ma Yu to the princess mansion.

Ma Yu is secretly in charge of Shannan Dongdao, but Ji Xinxue is in charge on the surface.

Ma Yu just sorted out all kinds of news and made suggestions, and then ordered people to send the news and suggestions to various places, a small part of which was sent directly back to Chang'an, and most of them were sent to Princess Anye's mansion.

The government orders that can be temporarily implemented in Shannan Dongdao must be affixed with the princess' golden seal.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng soon had a better understanding of Ma Yu's abilities.

If Ma Yu can overcome his autism and make a career in the sky, and get the character bestowed by the emperor while he is still alive, Ji Xinxue will definitely suggest that Emperor Changping grant Ma Yu the character 'liver' or 'juan'.

He has already asked the Jinwu Guard that the news sent to the Princess Mansion was sorted out and copied by Ma Yu alone. Ma Yu didn't even have a book boy who grinds ink. annotations on the document.

The documents that Ma Yu processed had four options: return them, keep them on file, send them to Chang'an, and send them to the Princess Mansion. Among them, the documents sent to the Princess Mansion accounted for about half of all the documents Ma Yu processed.

Even so, at the beginning, it was difficult for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to keep up with Ma Yu's delivery of documents.

They have worked very hard to understand the purpose of Ma Yu's annotated documents and the proposed interim decree in the shortest time. During this period, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng finally cleared out all the documents that Ma Yu sent to the Princess Mansion one after another yesterday.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other, got up in tacit understanding and walked towards the study.

Forget it, you can go to the rock sugar kiln anytime.

As long as they ignore Ma Yu's paperwork for a while, it is very likely that it will take a few days to catch up with Ma Yu's progress. They really don't want to experience the feeling of being a paperwork with their eyes closed.

Seeing Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng coming in, the Jinwu Guard silently opened the box, and inside were not the documents Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had imagined, but four small boxes.

Surprise flashed in Ji Xinxue's eyes, "Isn't it sent by Ma Yu?"

"It's something sent by Ma Langjun." Jin Wuwei still didn't know what to do when he returned, but fortunately, his movements were neat enough, and he had already opened a box for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to see.

It is a Guanyin made of suet jade.

"Smart device." Yu Heng said firmly.

He held the mutton fat jade statue in his hand and observed carefully, pinched the neck of the mutton fat jade statue and rested its head, motioned for Ji Xinxue to reach out, and the wax pills from the statue's body poured into Ji Xinxue's palm.

From the remaining three boxes, Yu Heng found a strand of black hair, a roll of parchment and a piece of silk embroidered with gold thread.

The two sat side by side behind the desk in the study room, staring at the four things placed in sequence, and their eyes were all on the hair.

Yu Heng pondered for a long time, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense, "Isn't this just normal hair?"

"I don't know, let the imperial doctor take a look first." Ji Xinxue said blankly, he felt that the owner of the ornament was more likely to be a pervert than the origin of the hair, but he didn't have evidence and didn't know how to deal with it Yu Heng said his guess.

The parchment was full of obscure foreign language, Ji Xinxue just glanced at it and gave up completely, he couldn't understand it.

"Princess." Yu Heng pointed to a place on the parchment, "This is in Turkic script, it should be a list."

Soon someone who was proficient in Turkic characters was called, and this person told Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng that this was indeed a list, although there were many handwritings, but only three people were recorded.

princess.

riding whip.

warrior.

The rest of the text is all about praising these three people.

There is also hidden information in this person's praise text. Given him half a day, he will be able to analyze more specific information about the princess, horsewhip and warrior from the hidden information.

The corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth suddenly sneered, "Go find someone who can tell the difference between pen and ink, and tell how long the words on the parchment have been written."

Yu Heng chuckled, this kind of nonsense, parchment full of hidden information, is simply too much like something to fool a fool.

The first beeswax pellets poured out from the 'Qiao Qi' contained only a small ball of irregularly shaped blue satin, which was embroidered with the word 'Yu' after unfolding.

Yu Heng stared deeply at the word 'Yu' on the cloth, "It's Yu from the Yu family in the south of the Yangtze River."

Ji Xinxue put her hand on the back of Yu Heng's tense hand, and comforted, "It's just a piece of clothing, anyone can do it"

"This is not a garment that anyone can make." Yu Heng shook his head, picked up the rags vigorously, and pointed to the place where the light refracted among the rags to show Ji Xinxue, "Since the former dynasty, only people from the Yu family can weave This kind of flash silk. The Yu family has ancestral precepts, and will never sell flash silk to people with different surnames. The descendants of the direct descendants have four bolts of flash silk every year, and the concubine only has one bolt of flash silk every year. Married women and married men can no longer get flash silk. "

Mo Changshi would "buy" four bolts of flash silk in Jiangnan every year and send them to Chang'an, and store them in the separate warehouse of Princess An's Mansion.

Yu Heng's affection for the Jiangnan Yu family is not as deep as that of the British government, and he is not worried that he will be implicated by the Jiangnan Yu family. He just feels that the Shangzhou case is getting more and more involved, and he feels a little emotional.

Before the person who read the handwriting came, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at the writing on the silk again.

Oleander, smelling poison, so that people feel sick, have a headache and suffocate and die, and it is also poisonous when it dries up and burns smoke.

Artemisia on snow, food poisoning, numbness and suffocation

Feisi grass is non-toxic, and it is also used for beetiasis powder to make people lose their minds and go crazy to death.

Yu Heng swallowed the rusty taste in his mouth, and buried his head in his arms annoyed, not daring to look at the expression of Ji Xinxue beside him, "There are silk grasses in the balm sent by the fiefdom."

Ji Xinxue nodded blankly, subconsciously touched her lower lip.

Ever since he gave up everything in the princess mansion and went to Zhuangzi to recuperate in the clothes he bought at Anye Tailor, he has hardly used any lip balm.

When he was in Chang'an, he often put on lip balm, and when he first came to Princess Anye's mansion to entertain guests all day, he even licked lip balm more than once a day.

Sensing Yu Heng's remorse, Ji Xinxue put her hand on Yu Heng's back and patted it lightly, her tone was very calm, "It's not your fault, even if there is no Feisi grass, those who want to harm me will have other ideas."

Besides, it's no secret that the fat in Princess Anguo's mansion has Feisi grass. The powder of Feisi grass and Bisiworm can make people lose their minds and go crazy, but it is little known, at least the imperial physician sent by Emperor Changping to the fiefdom did not know.

Yu Heng shook his head and refused to say anything.

The pity in Ji Xinxue's eyes was even worse, and she tried to bring Yu Heng out of the self-blaming mood through the calm recall process, "Fortunately, when I was in Chang'an, I gave Feisi grass lip balm to many people, but no one appeared to be the same as me. Symptoms, it can be seen that when the people behind the scenes tried to make me come into contact with beetia powder, those people were not by my side."

Most of the current lip balms use comfrey as raw material, and a small part of the lip balm is made according to various secret recipes from the previous dynasty or earlier. It has been 500 years since the previous dynasty.

Yu Heng's mother, Yu Yu, as the most distinguished daughter in Chang'an, has an eye-popping pocket money every month, so naturally she won't treat herself badly on clothing, jewelry and rouge.

Yu Yu wanted a unique lip balm, so countless people rushed to offer the secret recipe and finished products.

In the end, Yu Yu chose Feisi Grass Lipstick among countless secret recipes and finished products, because Feisi Grass Lipstick is the rarest and fits her status.

The formula of Feisicao mouth cream is almost the same as that of comfrey, but the main ingredient is changed from comfrey to extinct Feisicao.

In order to find Feisi grass, Yu Yu spent 20 taels of silver, and finally found ten Feisi grass in the north and south.

Yu Yu left five stalks of Feisi grass in Princess Chang'an's mansion, and asked people to send the remaining stalks of Feisi grass to the fief princess's mansion.Two years later, the phoenix grass in Chang'an Princess Mansion withered one after another, but the feudal princess mansion successfully turned five stalks of phoenix grass into a small clump of phoenix grass, and Yu Yu got it. It took her three years and countless manpower and material resources to make it The finished Feisi grass lip balm.

Compared with the common comfrey lip balm, the color of Fei Sicao lip balm is brighter, and it seems to have a soft light on the lips, which is the difference that can be seen at a glance.

From then on, Princess An's Mansion's rouge became famous in Chang'an along with Yu Yu's limelight. I don't know how many noble women secretly asked if there would be a rouge shop in An Guo's Mansion, and asked Yu Yu euphemistically whether she would sell the silk grass.

Yu Yu spent three years and countless manpower and material resources just to have a distinctive lip balm. How could she sell lip balm and phoenix grass for money?

After Yu An spoke, Yu Yu reluctantly agreed to send a batch of Feisi Grass Balm to Qinghe County Princess every year, and let Qinghe County Princess deliver it to the family members on her behalf.

This matter was handled by Yu An himself, never by Yu Yu's hands. After Yu An passed away, Shi, the head of the princess's mansion, still sent a batch of Feisi grass balm to Qinghe County's mansion every year.

Yu Heng insists on Ji Xinxue's temperament in everything that is good. The first time she found out that Ji Xinxue wanted to improve her lip balm, she gave Ji Xinxue the unique Feisi Grass lip balm from Princess An's Mansion. It has been three years since now .

But Ji Xinxue can be sure that he only felt something was wrong this year.

"What special thing happened before we left Chang'an?" Ji Xinxue threw the question to Yu Heng, deliberately revealing flaws in her words.

Yu Heng held his eyebrows and raised his head, the creases between his brows became deeper and deeper, and he followed Ji Xinxue's words unconsciously, "It has nothing to do with the time in Chang'an, your symptoms only started after you arrived in Anye. It's aggravating, it proves that when you arrive in Anye, you've come into contact with a sudden increase in Pichia powder."

Seeing Yu Heng's expression change from pain to contemplation, Ji Xinxue smiled, and asked Yu Heng what she couldn't answer, "What does Bifilaria look like?"

If Yu Heng had known about Bifilariae, he would not have seen the words embroidered on the silk silk and thought there was something wrong with Feisicao's lip balm.

Sure enough, Yu Heng thought about it for a long while, then shook his head, "I don't know, I'll write to Mo Changshi right away, and ask Mo Changshi to send someone to the place where he found Feisi grass for his mother to inquire carefully."

After speaking, Yu Heng immediately went to find the letter paper in the box on the Eight Treasures Rack, and his posture had returned to his usual calm.

Ji Xinxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to study ink for Yu Heng.

Before Yu Heng finished writing the letter, the imperial physician who took his hair and went to the next room to study and the person who could read handwriting came to ask for an interview.

Yu Heng handed the envelope sealed with wax paint to the left guard of Princess Anguo's mansion, and told the left guard of Princess An's mansion to deliver the letter to Mo Changshi day and night before letting the two people who were waiting at the door in.

As always, the imperial physician did not look at the eyes, and when Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue were gloomy, there were smiles on the corners of the eyes and brows, "Where did the princess and the county king find this medicinal hair?"

Seeing the excited look of the imperial physician, Ji Xinxue reluctantly became interested in hair, "Medicinal hair? What effect does it have?"

The smile on the imperial doctor's face froze slightly, and he coughed lightly before he said slowly, "It can't strengthen Yang."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the interest on his face immediately turned to disgust. He couldn't understand how this thing could strengthen the yang, and he didn't want to know, so he said indifferently, "I see, the hair belongs to you."

The imperial doctor asked persistently, "Where did the princess get this medicinal hair? Many people in Chang'an

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng turned their heads to look at the imperial physician at the same time, the meaning of the question in their eyes was self-evident, and the Jin Wuwei who had been standing in the corner and the person who was studying the parchment also quietly looked up at the imperial physician.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the imperial physician backed away again and again, reluctantly gave up asking about the origin of the medicine, and ran away, "There is still medicine on the stove."

Ji Xinxue sneered.

He has the ability to talk bald, but he doesn't have the courage to finish the sentence.

After a long time, the person who studied the handwriting on the sheepskin scroll walked up to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng holding the sheepskin scroll with sweat on his forehead, "The handwriting on the sheepskin scroll will not last more than a month at most."

Yu Heng pondered for a moment, but was about to speak but was stopped by Ji Xinxue.

Ji Xinxue said to him, "Let's write the answer on paper and see if there is a tacit understanding."

The two wrote two characters respectively, and at the same time passed the rice paper on which they wrote to each other.

'Ping Zhen'

'Ping Zhen'

Ji Xinxue lightly bumped Xia Yuheng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "There is a perfect understanding!"

Yu Heng looked down at the same words on the rice paper, and the indescribable oppression in his chest subsided a little.

Counting the days, the words on this roll of parchment were almost written when they rushed to Shangluo and brought Pingzhen and the twins back to Anye.

If their predictions are correct, people who are proficient in Turkic can find clues that can pinpoint Pingzhen after carefully studying the praises of the "Princess" on the parchment.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng fell into the same doubt.

Why is Ping Zhen so important?

Whether it was the dishonest people in the imperial envoy, or the directional parchment they had only seen in a few days, they were all specially prepared for Pingzhen.

People who don't mention Chang'an, at least in the entire Shannan Road, can no longer find an existence that is so valued by dark lines like Pingzhen.

Ji Xinxue divided the Shangzhou case committed by Shannan host officials and Jiangnan businessmen into open lines and hidden lines.

The open line is the interest network formed by officials of Shannan Dongdao. Only when Sikong protects Shannan Dongdao officials will they be unscrupulous.

The dark line is the profit network formed by Jiangnan merchants. They only seem to gather in Shannan Dongdao because of the greed of Shannan Dongdao officials. In fact, Shannan Dongdao officials have never really managed to control Jiangnan businessmen.

Congwenshutang extorted high profits in Anye North City, tricking the people into becoming slaves.The servants of Jiangnan merchants used the Jiangnan earthquake as an excuse to encourage the people of Anye to live in Jiangnan. It is not difficult to see that there is a transparent line between Jiangnan merchants. The end of this line is Jiangnan, which no longer responds to Chang'an decrees.

Now they just pull out all the bright threads, but the dark threads hidden in Jiangnan are broken by the Jiangnan businessmen whose relatives are all in the south of the Yangtze River.

The people who are still hidden in the dark expend so much energy on Pingzhen, is it because Pingzhen's existence is very important, or is it because they want to use this to cover up the really important person?

Yu Heng was depressed for two days by the information about Feisicao and Bifilaria recorded on the silk, and he would only appear in front of Ji Xinxue when the dinner and Ma Yu sent someone to deliver the documents.

Ji Xinxue saw that Yu Heng's face was fine when he was in front of him, so she didn't specifically talk to Yu Heng about this matter.

Putting it in another way, if someone harms Yu Heng with the things he gave to Yu Heng, he will feel guilty and feel unable to face Yu Heng.

Ji Xinxue only deliberately sent Yu Heng around when Yu Heng was with him, so as to eliminate Yu Heng's guilt towards him.

When Princess Xuanwei personally came to send Ji Xinxue an urgent document for eight hundred miles, Ji Xinxue was perfecting the details of firing the enamel for the last time.

Because Princess Anwu was assassinated at the sugar banquet, she no longer wanted to make rock sugar in Anye. The news that the rock sugar kiln will be changed to an enamel kiln has spread throughout Anye.

Princess Xuanwei placed the wooden box in her palm on the corner of Ji Xinxue's table, and sighed as she looked at the brightly colored drawings, "Is this enamel? It's so beautiful."

Ji Xinxue smiled when she heard the words, and said generously, "I don't know how many furnaces it will take to succeed. It may not be able to have the current color by then. If Sister doesn't dislike it, I must send Sister first."

He didn't pretend to be modest, Princess Xuanwei praised the beautiful pattern, it was a vase he repainted with drawing paper, specially painted with the paint that Yu Heng gave him, the color is bright and bright, even if it is beautiful Pass.

Princess Xuanwei smiled very brightly, "I don't have a vase, so I can draw a painting of an enamel vase for me. I think your painting is much better than the so-called 'everyone'."

No one could refuse such enthusiastic support. Even if the supporters had almost the same facial features as Mo Yao, Ji Xinxue couldn't resist. He immediately promised to send vases and paint paintings.

Princess Xuanwei was overjoyed, patted the wooden box she brought and said, "My good sister, I love you for what I do, and I specially asked people to go back to Chang'an to pick up my treasure."

She was still a little reluctant to collect it, but after looking at the albums collected around her, she felt that it was too stretchy to give away, and she couldn't find anything she could look at after dragging for several days.

Yesterday she was surprised that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't get along as naturally as before. Yu Heng always looked at Ji Xinxue quietly but looked away when Ji Xinxue looked at him as if aware of it.

Princess Xuanwei wanted not to delay Ji Xinxue's important event, but Ji Xinxue called her "Sister", but it was just a treasure and she reluctantly fulfilled her promise.

Now that she has Ji Xinxue's promise to send the painting, Princess Xuanwei feels that she is stingy and has hesitated for so long about what she promised long ago.

Thinking of this, Princess Xuanwei explained with a guilty conscience, "It's not easy to let the Jinwu Guard pass on such things with great fanfare. I asked the servants at home to go back to pick them up, which is why it took so long."

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue discovered the wooden boxes stacked under Princess Xuanwei's hand, "What is it?"

Princess Xuanwei looked at Ji Xinxue's still immature face, swallowed the blunt words on his lips, and paused, "Cheats."

Ji Xinxue said 'ah', and finally remembered the conversation with Princess Xuanwei, "Massage album?"

Princess Xuanwei nodded heavily, showing her neat little white teeth, secretly glad that she didn't talk nonsense just now, otherwise, wouldn't she be embarrassing the elegant Princess Anwu?
