It's a pity that Shi Mao's understanding of Chu Mo's disappearance in the south of the Yangtze River is only a few words that he overheard by accident when he was young.

If he hadn't been so eager to impress Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and exchanged for Zhang Yuanwai, Luo Meng, and Luo Jiao a rich and worry-free rest of his life, racking his brains to recall all the memories from his memory, he might not even be able to think of these few words stand up.

As the eldest son who was carefully cultivated since childhood, Shi Mao knew very well that he would rather be blamed for not being able to tell more about this kind of thing than talking nonsense, otherwise he would definitely provoke the wrath of Xianglin County King.

Ji Xinxue asked Shi Mao several questions in a row but did not get an answer. The disappointment in her eyes became more and more intense, and she looked worriedly at Yu Heng, who had a serious face.

He knew that Yu Heng's affection for his grandfather and grandmother, whom he had never met, was not weaker than his closeness to the British father-in-law and his wife.

Yu Heng will get close to the British husband and wife, which is largely in line with the "autumn fragrance effect".

Because other people in the British government were too indifferent to Yu Heng during Yu Heng's growth process, even as harsh as the old lady of the British government, and suddenly collapsed like the original British prince and his wife. So much so that the British father-in-law and his wife, who just put a little effort into superficial efforts, can become the elders who treat him well in Yu Heng's heart.

Ever since he moved out of the British government, Yu Heng has become closer to the King of Qinghe County, the Prince of Qinghe County, and Emperor Changping. It's just relatives who come and go and greet each other.

In contrast, Yu Heng's affection for his grandmother Yu An and grandfather Chu Mo grew day by day.

Chu Mo disappeared in the 15th year of Jianxing, Yu An died unexpectedly in the [-]th year of Yanguang, but Yu Heng was born in the [-]th year of Yanguang.

Yu Heng has never met his grandmother and grandfather. When he was young, he knew them all from Yu Yu.

Because Yu Yu loved Yu An and Chu Mo deeply, and when she was dying of illness, she also claimed that it was all the kindness that Yu An and Chu Mo had shown her. Yu Heng had a strong natural affection for Yu An and Chu Mo.

Officially moving to Princess Anguo's mansion was the time when Yu Heng gradually got rid of the British mansion and the excessive life, and grew up rapidly under the guidance of Prince Qinghe's son.

During this period of time, Yu Heng learned more about Yu An and Chu Mo through the old things left by Yu An and Chu Mo and the words of the old servant of the Princess Mansion, which made the image of his grandmother and grandfather more three-dimensional in his heart.

As early as two years ago, when Yu Heng had just obtained the title he deserved, he had sent people to the south of the Yangtze River many times to search for Chu Mo's remains, in order to fulfill the wishes of his grandmother and mother and find his grandfather to reunite with them

Whenever he misses Yu Yu very much, and talks with Ji Xinxue about the days when Yu Yu was still there, he always brings up the difference between the Yu An and Chu Mo Yu Yu mentioned and the Yu An and Chu Mo he knew from other places, laughing Yu Yu wanted to beautify Yu An and Chu Mo in her heart.

Yu An's ruthless diagnosis and treatment of dishonest servants is kindness, and Chu Mo accidentally left ink spots on paintings is artistic conception

Ji Xinxue never told Yu Heng that Yu Yu, Yu An, and Chu Mo in Yu Heng's mouth were images that had been beautified countless times in Yu Heng's heart.

The mother, grandmother and grandfather who are more perfect than what Yu Heng said are the mother, grandmother and grandfather who appear in Yu Heng's mouth next time.

Now Yu Heng suddenly knew that Chu Mo was not missing because of a natural disaster but was killed by others. Yu An's miscarriage and serious illness were innocent disasters, how could he remain indifferent?

The suffocating silence gradually spread. Not only Shi Mao lowered his head deeply, wishing to minimize his sense of existence, but even Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi stared at the wall and the hay on the ground in a daze, for fear of disturbing Yu Heng's thoughts.

Ji Xinxue gently shook the hand she held with Yu Heng, "Feng Lang, I remembered that there are still some documents sent from the south in the princess' mansion that have not been processed. Let's go back and see if there is anything important in the documents. Continue to interrogate Shi Mao."

Yu Heng nodded silently, his unfocused eyes suddenly focused on Shi Mao, and he stared at Shi Mao for a long time before turning away.

It wasn't until the figures of Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue completely disappeared that Shi Maocai suddenly gasped for breath and sat down on the ground. He had the illusion that the King of Xianglin wanted to skin him and extract his bones to see if there were more secrets engraved on the bones.

Both Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi laughed at Shi Mao's lack of prospects, they looked at each other with the same worry in their eyes.

"What are you doing?" Li Jinhuan grabbed Zhang Siyi's shoulder.

Zhang Siyi said without thinking, "This incident has dealt a great blow to the Duke, I'll go and see it."

"What are you looking at?" Li Jinhuan interrupted Zhang Siyi, took out a handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Shi Mao who was leaning on the ground panting for breath, and said concisely, "There is a princess here."

With the strong temperament of the king of the county, if they were there, it would make the king of the county lose the idea of ​​​​confiding, and keep all the troubles in his heart.

They might as well continue spending time with Shi Mao and try to dig out as many details as possible from Shi Mao.

Zhang Siyi felt that what Li Jinhuan said made sense, she sighed a long time, and focused all her attention on Shi Mao.

After thinking about it, Ji Xinxue didn't know how to comfort Yu Heng, so she could only quietly accompany Yu Heng.

If it weren't for the certainty that Shi Mao would not be able to say something he was not sure of at this time, Ji Xinxue almost suspected that this was another smoke bomb released by some force.

He tried to summarize the information revealed by Shi Mao.

The imperial envoy appointed by Emperor Jianxing and Yibin, the Princess of Xianglin County, encountered heavy rain and overturned the boat during his inspection. In fact, he was placed under house arrest, and it took more than a year for him to die quietly.

Obviously each word is very clear, but it is difficult to understand when put together.

What kind of secret did Chu Tanhua spy on in the south of the Yangtze River back then, which made the Bai family have such vicious thoughts.

Why did the Jiangnan Yu family clearly have old feelings for Yu An's husband-in-law and was willing to take Chu Tanhua's body and bury it in the clan ground, but they 'watched' Chu Tanhua being boiled to death?

As Chu Mo, after his accident, Emperor Jianxing and Princess Xianglin Yu Anding would not let it go. How did the Bai family keep this matter secret?

Although the people who were on the same boat with Chu Mo disappeared strangely at that time, there were other imperial envoys and guards and servants of Princess Anguo's mansion on the shore. Didn't these people notice anything strange?

Until the carriage entered the princess mansion through the back door, Ji Xinxue still couldn't figure out many questions. He jumped out of the carriage following Yu Heng following the force from his hands, and followed Yu Heng's side step by step.

Princess Xuanwei, who was waiting in Yuheyuan, saw Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng from a distance, and immediately greeted them, "Princess!"

She cupped her fists towards Ji Xinxue, with a bright smile on her face, and deliberately raised the long sword in her hand in the most conspicuous position.

When she saw the familiar long sword in Xianglin County King's apology, Princess Xuanwei's breathing immediately froze, and she stared at the scabbard that she could recognize when it turned into ashes without blinking. thing.

From a rational point of view, Princess Xuanwei felt that it would be extremely difficult for Princess Anwu to ask the King of Xianglin to compensate her for the loss due to the domineering and proud character of the King of Xianglin. The sword that cuts iron like mud will give her an apology.

However, Princess Xuanwei doesn't want to think about rationality at all, all she has in her eyes is the gorgeous scabbard inlaid with various gems!

Princess Xuanwei's hand approached the scabbard several times and then left, fearing that she would only be disappointed after pulling out the sword, or that the Prince of Xianglin would not be a man, and deliberately asked someone to give her an identical scabbard to play with her.

If this sword is really easy to destroy the sword she wears, she doesn't need Emperor Changping to recognize her as a foster daughter, she is willing to recognize Princess Anwu as a foster mother!

Her father has never used such a sharp weapon that can blow hair off!

After cutting down all the seats in the room to prove that he was not dreaming, Princess Xuanwei immediately thanked Ji Xinxue with a sword in his hand, and had been waiting at the gate of Yuhe Courtyard for nearly two hours.

Ji Xinxue didn't notice Princess Xuanwei's careful thoughts at all, he reluctantly allocated one-tenth of all the attention on Yu Heng to Princess Xuanwei, and said politely, "Is there something wrong, sister?"

Princess Xuanwei, who was in the midst of excitement, didn't notice Ji Xinxue's intention to see off the guests, and said with a smile, "I'm here to thank the princess for her kindness."

Yu Heng was staring at the front blankly, even if she was stopped by Princess Xuanwei, she didn't focus on Princess Xuanwei but stared at the blooming flowers not far away, and the word 'love' came into her ears Only then did Yu Heng's emptiness refocus, and he stared coldly at Princess Xuanwei.

Princess Xuanwei was caught off guard by the eyes with a strong sense of presence, and subconsciously looked at Yu Heng, facing the bottomless black pupils, a strong sense of crisis suddenly emerged in his heart, and immediately took half a step back, thanks to his usual courage It was big enough to not draw the sword directly.

Yu Heng obviously didn't speak, but Princess Xuanwei read from Yu Heng's eyes that she was mocking her for being passionate.

Ji Xinxue didn't notice the turbulent tide between Princess Yu Heng and Princess Xuanwei, but she already guessed why Princess Xuanwei was waiting here specially. He wanted to take this opportunity to ease the conflict between Princess Xuanwei and Princess Yu Heng. Having had an unpleasant time, he said with a smile, "Feng Lang deliberately took out his sword to make amends to Elder Sister, please stop worrying about his offense."

Princess Xuanwei forced a smirk to put Ji Xinxue in a perfunctory manner, and belatedly realized how useless her reaction was in front of her enemy who was nearly ten years younger than her.

She was intimidated by the gaze of Xianglin County King!

Princess Xuanwei buried the word 'outrageous' in her heart, and saw Ji Xinxue holding Yu Heng's single hand in both hands, stopping half a step behind Yu Heng, and hesitated in her heart.

Is Xianglin County King having a temper tantrum with Princess Anwu just because Princess Anwu forced her to give the sword to her?

Princess Xuanwei silently clenched the long sword in her hand. If she were the king of Xianglin County, she would rather lose all her wealth than give up the sword to others.

It is impossible for her to return the sword she got, nor can she add fuel to the fire, making it even more difficult for Princess Anwu.

Consciously thinking about the reason for Yu Heng's cold face, Princess Xuanwei smiled brightly again, "It's okay, I treat you like a sister, and your fiancé is my brother!"

Princess Xuanwei, who no longer knew what he was talking about, finished speaking in a daze, "Why would I care about everything with my brother? I have something to ask Huo Yu, and I'll come back to greet you later!"

Before the words fell, Princess Xuanwei turned her head and ran away, disappearing from the sight of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xinxue could only swallow back the polite words she hadn't finished, and looked at Yu Heng intentionally to ask Yu Heng, wanting to entice Yu Heng to speak, "Her reaction, is she forgiving you?"

Yu Heng snorted softly, and continued to pull Ji Xinxue forward.

He doesn't need Xuan Wei's forgiveness, as long as Xuan Wei can remember Ah Xue's well, if she forgets one day, he will find a way to remind her to remember.

Ji Xinxue obediently followed the strength in her hand and walked forward, secretly relieved, as long as there is a reaction.

Back in the study room of Yuheyuan, Ji Xinxue finally found two unannotated documents from the cabinet and showed them to Yu Heng, and deliberately read the contents of the documents one by one, as if seeing the documents for the first time Like a little idiot, he turned into a hundred thousand whys, and tried every means to coax Yu Heng to speak.

Yu Heng answered a few questions vaguely, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up in a helpless arc, he took out the document in Ji Xinxue's hand and threw it elsewhere, his tone was a bit sad, "I'm fine, I just remembered something my mother once told me. what has been said."

Ji Xinxue put her chin on her free hand, blinked her phoenix eyes and looked at Yu Heng, "I want to know too."

Yu Heng didn't want to see Ji Xinxue worrying about him anymore, raised his palms in front of Ji Xinxue, and said solemnly, "Mr. Storyteller knows that you have to pay for the tea first."

"Huh?" Ji Xinxue suddenly thought of the very popular video he had watched in his previous life, and raised his chin to hit it without thinking.

Raising her eyelids to meet Shang Yuheng's surprised gaze, Ji Xinxue realized later that she had done something stupid, and hurriedly backed away and explained, "I saw Aye teasing a dog last time." It was the same.

Yu Heng raised the corners of his mouth again, and the smile that was only superficial suddenly became real. Under Ji Xinxue's increasingly sad eyes, he couldn't bear to lower his head and grin, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

The person with helpless eyes turned into Ji Xinxue, "Laugh if you want, I don't care about you."

Yu Heng, who had already slowed down his smile and planned to tell a story to Ji Xinxue, heard this, and his smile broke through his lips and teeth in an instant, gradually becoming unscrupulous.

Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng with a gloomy gaze, endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and planned to use force to stop Yu Heng's ridicule.

After a fierce fight, Ji Xinxue narrowly won, and when Yu Heng sincerely apologized, she lay side by side with Yu Heng on the soft bed, calming down the violent panting, while listening to Yu Heng's eloquent story about the past from Yu Yu .

This is a past event that Duan Ji Xinxue has never heard of. It happened when Chu Tanhua had just disappeared and Yu An was shocked by the bad news and was lying in bed to protect her pregnancy.

Yu Yu was seven years old that year, and she was already able to understand the shocking changes in the family. She was afraid that Aye would never come back, and she was also afraid that something would happen to A Niang who was bedridden and her younger brother in her womb, but she dared not tell anyone. her fear.

Afraid that A Niang will get worse because she is worried about her situation, and also afraid that her fear will be heard by the "god" and become a reality

Under such a cycle, Yu Yu's mental state is getting worse and worse. In order to adjust her mood, Yu Yu can only write down her daily worries on letter paper and seal it up.

This habit lasted until Yu An had a miscarriage, took good care of his health, completely accepted the reality that Chu Mo was no longer alive, and held a funeral for Chu Mo at the Clothes Tomb.

"A Niang asked the servant to take all the letters she wrote to the grandfather's grave, and wanted to tell the grandfather all these words. When he found that the servant took the wrong wooden box, he changed his mind before and after taking the gift she had prepared for her younger brother to the grandfather's grave. , and left those letters." Yu Heng held Ji Xinxue's hand to play, and his tone couldn't tell whether he was feeling more disappointed or missing more, "Those letters are still in Auntie's old boudoir, when we return to Chang'an, you Come with me to see"

Ji Xinxue raised her other hand and patted Yu Heng's indiscriminately, "One day, you will fulfill the last wishes of the old Princess and Princess Xianglin, and bring Chu Tanhua's remains back to Chang'an to be with them. get together."

This is probably the only place where Yu Heng can feel relieved after suddenly knowing this inside story.

It is easier to know that Chu Tanhua's body is in the Yu clan's family land in the south of the Yangtze River than Princess An's mansion has been searching for a needle in a haystack in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years.

Even if the relationship between Chang'an and Jiangnan is tense, Yu Heng can still send someone to Jiangnan quietly to bring back Chu Tanhua's body first.

Considering rationally, Ji Xinxue disagrees with Yu Heng doing this.

If Yu Heng is determined to do this, Ji Xinxue will not stop her, she will only advise Yu Heng, trying to find a way to deceive even the Jiangnan Yu family.

Yu Heng closed both of Ji Xinxue's hands and clenched them tightly, with a fierce look on his face, "Yes, one day."

He wants everyone involved in this matter to pay a painful price.

Towards evening, Li Jinhuan and Zhang Siyi returned to the Princess Mansion.

They first let Qingyun quietly ask Ji Xinxue if Yu Heng could face her emotions calmly, and they couldn't ask Shi Mao more about Chu Tanhua. ', after receiving an affirmative answer, he asked for an interview with the results that he had spent the whole day with Shi Mao.

In the entire south of the Yangtze River, there is no one who is more blessed than Shi Mao. His mother is the daughter of the previous Patriarch of the Bai Family, and the same mother and sister of the current Patriarch of the Bai Family. Enjoy the emperor's favor in the Yanguang Dynasty.

Shi Mao, however, is a top official and businessman in the south of the Yangtze River who has not had time to enter the interest circle of Jiangnan officialdom and shopping malls, and has stayed away from the interest circles of Jiangnan officialdom and shopping malls.

Even though Shi Mao originally had a high status in the hearts of the Governor of Xunyang Mansion and the Bai family, because he insisted on divorcing his wife and running away from home for many years, he stayed away from the interests of Jiangnan officialdom and shopping malls.

Before he left home, he was too young.Although talented and famous, he is busy studying all day long, getting acquainted with various forces in the south of the Yangtze River, preparing for entering the dynasty, and has not had time to enter the interest circle of Jiangnan officialdom and shopping malls.

Among all the contents dug out from Shi Mao's mouth, Zhou Wan was actually the most valuable information.

After hearing Zhang Siyi's words, Ji Xinxue's eyes showed strong disgust, and he asked without any expectation, "What else does he know?"

Zhang Siyi took out the booklet in his sleeve pocket and opened it, looked at the various symbols on it that only he could understand, and first explained the information he thought was more valuable.

First of all, when Shi Mao was interrogated last time, he asked Shi Mao if he knew that apart from the governor of Xunyang Prefecture, there were secret Jiangnan forces who bribed Shi Mao's elder brother to always ask about Shi Mao's 'illness'.

At that time Shi Mao said he knew.

When Zhang Siyi asked whether the secret Jiangnan forces were related to Zhou Wan, Shi Mao hesitated for a long time and wrote 'I don't know'.

Because she felt that Shi Mao was lying, Zhang Siyi stopped asking without hesitation, and the last interrogation came to an abrupt end here.

Zhang Siyi brought up the old story again today, Shi Mao really gave a different answer.

Shi Mao confessed that the secret Jiangnan forces came from the Bai family.

Ji Xinxue raised her head and drank the warm water in the cup. What Zhang Siyi said was right, and Shi Mao couldn't tell any more valuable information.

The current Patriarch of the Bai Family is Shi Mao's uncle. Not only is it not surprising that he secretly sent people to watch Shi Mao, but it also makes sense that Yin Mingming of Xunyang Mansion has already noticed this dark Jiangnan force but remains indifferent.

Seeing Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's indifferent reactions, Zhang Siyi coughed lightly in embarrassment, and continued to talk about the details that Shi Mao asked next.

He asked Shi Maobai's family how they treated Zhou Wan.

At the beginning, Shi Mao only said that the Bai family's attitude towards Zhou Wan was basically the same as his mother's attitude towards Zhou Wan. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said, "It seems that they really respect Zhou Wan as a 'princess'."

Because of the special status of the Governor of Xunyang Mansion and the Bai family in Jiangnan, it is meaningless to ask other people in Jiangnan what attitude they have towards the princess held in the hands of the Shi Mansion and the Bai family. Zhang Siyi focused on the relationship and difficulties between the Bai family and the Jiangnan Yu family. The distribution of various small forces.

Although the Bai family and the Jiangnan Yu family were at odds, it was not a feud between fire and water, but a feud between well water and river water.

It's not that there is no contact between the two, it's just that there is no "personal relationship". When it comes to big events such as weddings and funerals, the Bai family and the Jiangnan Yu family have always had a tacit understanding, and they will never get along for no reason. put the other person in an awkward position.

It took a full half an hour before Zhang Siyi told Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng all the contents recorded in the pamphlet in batches.He took a sip of warm tea and panted, his voice was already hoarse, "You can gather the documents from various interrogations of Jiangnan businessmen, and let Shi Mao judge the authenticity of those information."

Ji Xinxue nodded.

After all, with his identity there, Shi Mao would not be 'useless', it's just that his usefulness was far from what they expected.

He was born and grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. He is almost at the top of the pyramid in the south of the Yangtze River. What he thinks is reasonable in his subconscious mind may become a key breakthrough in a certain problem.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't have so much time and Shi Mao to spend, so they entrusted this matter to Zhang Siyi and Li Jinhuan.

Four days later, Ji Xinxue received a letter from Emperor Changping about Shi Mao and the 'Wang Nu'.

Inside the envelope was a piece of letter paper dedicated to Yu Heng, comforting Yu Heng not to be angry about Chu Tanhua, and he will definitely make decisions for Yu Heng on the day of Jiangnan's surrender.

On another letter, Emperor Changping claimed that the news that Ji Xinxue sent back to Chang'an coincided with the news he had received elsewhere.He has already guessed about the 'Princess', and it will be confirmed within three months. Whether it is true or not, he will tell Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng the result.

In addition, Emperor Changping reminded Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to pack their bags secretly and prepare to go to the border of Shannan East Road and Jiangnan West Road to 'supervise the battle' at any time.

Ji Xinxue put down the letter paper, picked up the empty envelope upside down and shook her wrist, trying to shake out the hidden letter.

Since after three months, Emperor Changping would not hide the truth from him and Yu Heng, no matter whether the guess can be confirmed or not, why can't he tell them the direction of the guess now?

He and Yu Heng would not laugh at Emperor Changping just because Emperor Changping guessed wrong.

It's a pity that Ji Xinxue didn't see the expected 'invisible letter paper' until Ji Xinxue shook the envelope to pieces.

The war is approaching, whether it is the "princess" or "the hidden story of Chu Mo's disappearance" must be put aside for the time being.

Even though Emperor Changping had hinted many times that he would not really go to war with Jiangnan, Ji Xinxue had to dispatch food and grass and prepare military supplies in advance.

Based on the greedy appearance of Shangzhou officials, one can guess how empty the granaries in various parts of Shannan Dongdao are.Fortunately, there are many grain merchants among the Jiangnan merchants who were detained in Shannan Dongdao, and they emptied their homes, which was enough to support the dispatch of troops.

During this period, Yu Heng received several letters from the fiefdom of Princess Anguo's Mansion, all of which were about the records of Feisi grass and Beetiasis, and the history of Yu Yu's vigorous search for an ancient prescription for lip balm.

Feisicao grew in the Western Regions and was introduced to the Central Plains thousands of years ago. Since then, Feisicao balm has been a luxury that is only passed on among noble women.

During the Yan Dynasty, Feisi Grass Lipstick was called Hongyu Lipstick.Only ruby ​​lip balm the size of a finger belly can be sold for a high price of five taels of gold.

The Yan Dynasty collapsed, and the Zeng Dynasty, that is, the former dynasty, rose. The founding emperor ordered to burn all the Feisicao in the territory of Zeng Dynasty. Anyone who left Feisicao or Feisicao smear would be punished as a crime of deceiving the emperor.

According to various records left by the previous dynasty, later generations believe that the founding emperor of the previous dynasty issued such an order because his mother accidentally overturned the dowry of the imperial concubine, causing the destruction of two cans of silk grass lip balm in the dowry. She was slapped twenty times by the imperial concubine's female officer in front of many married women and married women, and died of depression not long after, that's why she hated Fei Sicao so much.

When Yu Heng saw this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He got up and went to the bookshelf to pull out the No. 16 ancient books from the bottom to the top, from left to right. When he walked back to Ji Xinxue, he had already put the ancient books Turn to the page he was looking for.

According to official historical records, the Yan Dynasty was destroyed by "returning evil from evil".

Because of the king's misbehavior, disasters fell from heaven.

Not only do most concubines suffer from hysteria, but there are also three kings who suffer from hysteria.

Combined with the behavior of the founding emperor who couldn’t wait to destroy Feisicao after he ascended the throne, it’s hard not to doubt whether the mad kings and concubines of the Yan Dynasty were born crazy, or because of Feisicao balm and beetia powder.

Ji Xinxue was not in a hurry to continue reading the contents of the letter, and went to the bookshelf with Yu Heng to look through the history books. Whether it was official history or unofficial history, it was recorded that at the end of the Yan Dynasty, the probability of crazy people appearing in the royal family of the Yan Dynasty was particularly high.

Several unofficial histories about the aristocratic family also recorded a few exceptionally famous lunatics at about the same time, and many of them had great talents.

It wasn't until the last years of the Zeng dynasty that Feisicao balm reappeared in the Central Plains.

Hundreds of years have passed, and more and more materials have been used to make lip balm, and the process has become more and more complicated. Although the color of Feisi grass lip balm is still unique among the lip balms, the raw materials are rare and difficult to make. The former scenery has never been reproduced.

When Yu Yu sent people to search for Feisi grass, he hired a caravan to take the guards of the Princess Mansion to the Western Regions to find the birthplace of Feisi grass.

Not only did she not find Feisicao, but she was also chased and hacked by the tribes of the Western Regions with a knife, and fled back to the Central Plains. Yu Yu also paid a large sum of money to the caravan who could no longer go to the Western Regions.

Later, in the town of Rouge in the south and the port in the north, several plants of Fasil Grass that were about to wither were found.

The person who presented Yu Yu with the ancient prescription of Feisi Grass Kouzhi has passed away, and his children and grandchildren have gone to live elsewhere. Mo Changshi has already found these people, and asked for instructions in the letter, whether they need to be arrested and interrogated carefully.

Yu Heng wrote back immediately, asking Mo Changshi to interrogate these people carefully, and continue to search for the person who offered Feisicao back then.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng waited for the imperial decree from Chang'an before Mo Changshi sent the next letter about Feisicao and Bisiworm.

Those who delivered the decree were the son of the Prince of Xinyang County, the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo County, Zhong Kan, the right servant of the household department, and Jing Zhe who had just returned to Chang'an.

Emperor Changping angrily denounced eighteen major crimes in the south of the Yangtze River, including more than half of the officials who failed to return to Chang'an to report their duties far beyond the stipulated time limit, and privately withheld taxes for three consecutive years and failed to return to Chang'an to cover officials and courtiers involved in the Shangzhou case.

Now it is necessary to use 20 soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to fight against the rebels.

General Guo Yunqi was ordered to lead the 15 soldiers and horses in Shannan Dongdao to punish the evil. Deng Hongying, the general of the Beijing suburbs camp, was the commander, and led [-] soldiers and horses from Gyeonggi to help. The army camp sits in town.

Knowing that the fight would not be possible this time, Ji Xinxue deliberately left Li Jinhuan and others in Anye, lest the 'home' be missed by the courtiers of Chang'an, and only brought Huo Yu, Princess Xuanwei and many Jinwu guards with her.

The Prince of Xinyang County and others who are in charge of delivering the decree will go to the camp of the Chinese Army with Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

In the process of rushing, the prince of Xinyang County, the daughter of Princess Weiguo's mansion, and the princess of Xuanwei went to Shang Ji Xinxue one after another, expressing their expectations tactfully.

The crown prince of Xinyang County hoped that Ji Xinxue would arrange him in the safest place, even if he didn't have merit.

The thoughts of the daughter of Weiguo County Lord's Mansion are completely opposite to those of Xinyang County King, and she makes no secret of her desire to make contributions.She privately assured Ji Xinxue that even if she died in battle in the south of the Yangtze River, Princess Weiguo would not trouble Ji Xinxue, and asked Ji Xinxue to use her with confidence.

Princess Xuanwei expressed that she was willing to temporarily lend the sword to Huo Yu so that Huo Yu could better protect Ji Xinxue.Maybe it was because of the lesson learned from the destruction of the treasures last time, Princess Xuanwei deliberately said the ugly words in front, and she must pay back the debts, otherwise she will turn her face.

After watching for two days with a smile on his face, Zhong Kan also began to ask Ji Xinxue to see Ji Xinxue privately with the account book, pretending to discuss with Ji Xinxue about the deployment of military supplies.

Thanks to these people's tireless daily reminders, Ji Xinxue finally realized that he was going to the front to supervise the battle, not touring the mountains.

The face should not be a smile of finally being able to go out, it should be frowning or dignified.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng still don't have the unchanging demeanor of Zhong Kan, knowing that everyone is actively making various preparations for the impossible, but they can still remain indifferent.

Besides, these people seem to say in private that they appear in front of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng in turn every day, which means that they all have time to rest. Only Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng stick to it all the time, like flying eagles being tamed.

Only three days later, Ji Xinxue claimed to be motion sick. During the day, she refused to get out of the carriage to meet people. At night, she only wandered around crowded places, not giving anyone a chance to be alone with him, and finally recovered.

During the days of motion sickness, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng thought over and over about Chu Mo's disappearance in the south of the Yangtze River, listing countless possibilities and denying them one by one.

First of all, as Chu Mo's "imperial envoy" and "Xianglin Princess Yibin", the Bai family will never give birth to the idea of ​​doing something against Chu Mo unless it is absolutely necessary.

Secondly, if the Bai family dared to attack Chu Mo, they must have the confidence that others do not know, commonly known as 'there is someone behind'.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng almost turned the "Jianxing History" to pieces, and combined with the news about the Jiangnan Bai family sent from various places, they finally came up with a logical guess.

Although this guess seems too wild and unconstrained, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng denied nearly a thousand guesses and got the most reasonable guess.

He and Yu Heng suspected that Chu Mo's disappearance was related to Emperor Yanguang.

Chu Mo disappeared in Jianxing for 15 years, which was the most difficult time in Emperor Yanguang's life.

In the fifth year of Jianxing, King Fu, who was loved by the emperor and his wife, was born. From the ninth year of Jianxing to the 19th year of Jianxing, King Fu grew up day by day.

During this period, Emperor Yanguang, who had regarded the crown prince and the throne as his own, was repeatedly reprimanded by Emperor Jianxing and his wife for competing with King Fu, and had to leave the palace to open another mansion.

In the 19th year of Jianxing, Emperor Yanguang won the throne by means of military remonstrance, forcing Emperor Jianxing to death, killing King Fu cruelly, and driving Empress Jianxing mad.

Emperor Jianxing has already given birth to the idea of ​​abandoning the elders and establishing the younger ones. Although he did not deliberately suppress Emperor Yanguang, he would not train Emperor Yanguang especially. Supervise the country.

Under such circumstances, how did Emperor Yanguang ascend to the throne with resolute remonstrance?

Combined with the fact that he rewarded the aristocratic family after ascending the throne, but suddenly turned his face and bloodbathed the aristocratic family two years later, it is scary to think about it carefully.

When Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng suspected that the Bai family had a connection with Emperor Yanguang, they didn't speculate out of thin air.

Shi Mao's mother was the youngest daughter of the previous Patriarch of the Bai family. She married Yichun Secretary in the tenth year of Jianxing to fill in the house. The following year, Shi Mao's father was promoted to the county magistrate.

Their marriage is no less than the golden phoenix in the sky looking at the ugly duckling on the ground, and they can be selected into the "Jiangnan outrageous book" and spread widely.

Shi Mao's father was only Emperor Yanguang's book boy in the early days, because Emperor Yanguang valued him for his exceptional ability to talk, he saved many rewards and went to Jiangnan to find a small official.

The golden phoenix who married into the Bai family was a turning point in his fate.

In the tenth year of Jianxing, he was the secretary.

In the 11th year of Jianxing, he was the county magistrate.

In the first year of Yanguang, he was the governor.

In the 20th year of Yanguang, he was the Governor of Xunyang Prefecture.

Everyone said that Shi Mao's father was Emperor Yanguang's confidant, but no one ever mentioned that Shi Mao's father spent five years in the eighth-rank department book in obscurity, and quietly killed his original partner.

Because she already had preconceived emotions, Ji Xinxue felt that Shi Mao's father seemed to be the link between Emperor Yanguang and the Bai family.

He makes a reasonable guess.

Back then, some people chose to place their bets on Emperor Yanguang when Emperor Yanguang was at a low point, including the Bai family in Jiangnan.

When Chu Mo was in Jiangnan, he accidentally discovered the connection or conspiracy between the Bai family and Emperor Yanguang.

As the Bai family of "East Yu Xibai", the family is not only a businessman, but also occupies half of the Jiangnan officialdom.

It is a serious crime for the prince to contact officials from other places in private, especially the Bai family, which has a lot of influence in politics and gold and silver, can almost be characterized as forming a party for personal gain.

It is a serious crime anyway, so the Bai family took advantage of the terrain to solve 'Chu Mo' cleanly.

That's why the Jiangnan Yu clan, while thinking about their old relationship with Princess An's mansion, still watched Chu Mo being boiled to death, and just took away Chu Mo's bones.

The Yu family in Jiangnan dare not gamble with the Bai family.
