Lock and secure

In Hetang Village, Luo Yao slept until the afternoon. When he woke up with sleepy eyes, Li Xian dragged him to the river pond contracted by the villagers to catch crayfish.

I took my family to the riverside to play, and heard from the uncles and grandpas in the village who contracted the riverside pond that the crayfish in the riverside pond were planted before the New Year. They have gradually grown in the past month and are specially supplied to restaurants in the county town.

Anyway, it was Luo Yao's property, so Luo Yao was not polite at all. A group of people rolled up their trouser legs and caught lobsters in the shallow cement ground. They grabbed for a long time but caught nothing.

In the end, it was caught by five, six, seven or eight grandsons of the uncle who contracted the river pond.

Looking at the half bucket of food that Lu Heng was carrying, Luo Yao's mouth curled up.

As he walked, he looked at the cute and delicious prawns and thought of a hundred ways to eat them...

Several children were playing and chasing each other on the edge of the field, and then ran back to the uncle's house where they were staying.

In the end, all the lobsters were boiled in one pot and made into boiled shrimps. The delicious dipping sauce was paired with the original boiled shrimps. A group of people gathered together to peel the shrimps and eat them. The uncle and his family of three also enjoyed the feast, and the group of kids ate happily.

The fragrance from the farmyard spread from far away.

A group of killers who were lying in ambush in the forest behind the courtyard were all crying because of greed.

Killer A swallowed his saliva and said, "You've been following me for so long, and you still haven't taken action?"

Killer B stared intently at the prawn in Luo Yao's hand. "Idiot, didn't you see the princess entering the village without a hat this morning? If something happens to the princess here, I guarantee you'll be famous all over the county tomorrow!"

Killer A: "What should we do? We won't just sit there and do nothing, will we?"

"Follow us. The higher-ups said we can't be exposed. The emperor is so tolerant, so we must endure it too!" Killer B picked up a piece of straw, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, staring at the lively scene in the courtyard.

Bei Zhenting from the capital had just come out of the emperor's secret room and was completely dazed.

It was not until he returned to the east wing of Yong'an Garden in the palace that Bei Zhenting looked at the three items on the desk and still felt a sense of unreality.

The three items are a fish-patterned token, a piece of black cloth, and Luo Yao's purse.

His mind is still confused now. The enemy he had remembered for eleven years had nothing to do with the bloody incident eleven years ago.

When Bei Zhenting was suddenly told the truth, his brain froze. He didn't react at all and should have blamed the Emperor and the Duke's Mansion for keeping him in the dark despite knowing the truth.

Bei Zhenting slumped in the chair, supporting his head, tears falling on the rice paper on the table.

He had a very hard time during these eleven years. He wanted to commit suicide several times when he was in the northwest.

Because of his resentment towards the general and his wife who guarded the country in the Duke's Mansion, he persevered and survived the most difficult years.

The general and his wife died in battle, and he transferred his hatred to the prince of the Duke's Mansion. He survived with his hatred for the prince of the Duke's Mansion. Now his hatred is like a joke.

After suddenly knowing the truth, Bei Zhenting felt somewhat relieved that what happened ten years ago had nothing to do with the Luo family or Luo Yao, but he felt more self-deprecating. It was as if his spiritual support had been drained away.

Eleven years had passed since he had felt hatred towards that force. As he looked at this crucial clue, his heart felt empty, and he could not feel the raging anger and hatred. Instead, he felt numb.

A man sat in front of the desk for an unknown amount of time. Bei Zhenting grabbed the black cloth and clenched his fist.

"Father...Mother! I swear to avenge you!" Bei Zhenting stood up as if nothing had happened and put away the clues.

The moon was dark and the wind was strong. The palace was not at all bustling with activity despite the end of the war. The dim candlelight could only illuminate a small area. Carrying a large jar of wine and a wine jug, Bei Zhenting staggered towards the lotus pond.

Sitting on the stone steps, with his back against the railing, Bei Zhenting raised the wine jug high and raised his glass towards the opposite side, "Yaoyao, I drink!"

"Done!"

"Dry!"

Drinking alone under the moon, Bei Zhenting drank a whole jar of wine as if it were free. It was not enough, so he asked Li Qingyun to bring two more jars. After drinking, he staggered to his feet, his feet were unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.

The two secret guards couldn't stand it anymore and disobeyed orders and landed beside Bei Zhenting.

"Your Highness, let me help you!" Li Qingyun stretched out his hand.

"roll!"

"Get out of my way, my king!"

Bei Zhenting was holding the railing with one hand when he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his stomach, causing him to arch his back in pain.

Two secret guards wanted to go up and help the man.

Bei Zhenting spat out a mouthful of blood into his hand.

Everyone was frightened. Li Qingyun said, "Hurry up and help the prince back to the East Wing. I'll go find Doctor Ye!"

The two secret guards received the order and supported the unconscious Bei Zhenting.

Qingxin Hall was deserted. Ye Qing was sitting alone at a stone table under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, drinking tea.

Zhang Hu'ao had been gone for a month. Since he recovered from his illness, Zhang Hu'ao's younger brother Zhang Xi often came to Qingxin Hall and sometimes stayed overnight. Even if Ye Qing was slow-witted, he discovered that Zhang Xi's feelings for him were not pure.

After discovering this, he felt upset and distanced himself from Zhang Xi. He never expected that Zhang Xi pretended to be sick to see him at first, and then deliberately hurt himself.

A month ago, he almost lost his life.

Zhang Hu'ao was very slow-witted. After discovering Ye Qing's attitude towards his brother, he kept silent and did not make a fuss. After Zhang Xi's illness stabilized, Zhang Hu'ao took his brother and quit his job at Qingxin Hall and returned to the village.

After a month away, Ye Qing felt upset for a few days, but he also let it go. He was the eldest son of Qingye Valley, and was the same type of person as Bei Zhenting. He was very aloof and never forced matters of the heart.

Bei Zhenting is preparing to go south to find the princess these days. This trip involves investigating a case, and he will probably go straight back to the northwest after the matter is settled. Ye Qing is Bei Zhenting's good friend and also Bei Zhenting's exclusive doctor, so he naturally has to accompany him.

Besides, he had borrowed some money from Bei Zhenting a few days ago to raise enough money to go to Songwuyuanshi Xindian to ask, and he also wanted to go south to Xindian.

The Songwuyuan clan, the most powerful in martial arts in the world, is located in southern Xinjiang.

Xindian is an intelligence organization of the Matsutakehara killer faction, and they are worth a hundred taels of gold if asked.

Xindian is in the northern part of Southern Xinjiang, so he has to go south to investigate the case of Ye Gu’s family massacre.

The guy in the luggage hall has already packed it for him, and they can set off south as soon as Bei Zhenting leaves tomorrow.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Ye Qing squinted his eyes comfortably.

After taking a sip of the health-preserving tea he had just made, Ye Qing, who was only 27 years old, started the life of an old man early.

After finishing a cup of tea, Ye Qing was about to pour the second cup when Li Qingyun flew down from the eaves of his house.

"Doctor Ye, the prince is vomiting blood, come with me to see him!"
