The Fourteenth Prince asked, "Which is more important, public or private?"

He Shen said: "Your Highness is right. I don't understand this truth, but I will only come back if the emperor is sure that I am the biological son of the late Emperor Yongzheng."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "I'm afraid no one will believe what he says now."

He Shen said, "If we tell him, the emperor won't believe it, but if the prince tells him, the emperor will believe it without a doubt."

"Me?" The Fourteenth Prince looked unconvinced.

He Shen said: "Of course, the prince is the emperor's uncle, he will believe what you say."

The Fourteenth Prince looked suspicious and said, "But the Emperor has ordered that I cannot leave Yunzhou even a step."

Heshen took out a yellow memorial.

The Fourteenth Prince asked, "What is this?"

Heshen said, "This is an imperial decree. The Emperor has also ordered that Heshen not leave Yunzhou. Your Highness, if you go to Yancheng, I will accompany you. If Your Highness disobeys the decree, I will accompany you. If the Emperor cuts off Your Highness's head, I will offer Heshen's head."

"This... let me think about it." The Fourteenth Prince hesitated.

He Shen said, "What are you still thinking about, Your Majesty? Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of their country, let alone a prince. Which is more important, public or private?"

The Fourteenth Prince pondered in silence.

At this time, the fourth girl came over and said, "My Lord, please agree to be with the Lord."

The Fourteenth Prince said seriously, "Fourth Miss, this is a man's matter."

Heshen stood up excitedly and said, "Good...a good thing for a man to do." Then he knelt down.

The Fourteenth Prince asked, "Heshen, what are you doing?"

He Shen said: "The Emperor's life is the life of the whole nation, and the Prince's words are the life of the Emperor."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "How can this be done in public? Heshen, please stand up and speak."

"No, Your Highness, I kneel for them." Heshen's face was full of determination. "If the emperor is in danger, all the people in the world will suffer. Your Highness, I beg you on their behalf."

The Fourteenth Prince stood up, walked over to Heshen, helped him up, and said, "Please stand up quickly. I promise you."

"Okay, then I would like to thank the people of the world for their support, Your Highness." Heshen bowed and said emotionally.

At this time, the area was filled with onlookers.

……

Two arrows hit the scarecrow at the same time.

"Good, good shot, Miss Four, let's compete again."

Fu Kangan said. The two men shot arrows at the same time again, and both arrows hit the scarecrow accurately.

Fu Kang'an said, "Fourth Miss, your archery skills are truly impressive."

The fourth girl said, "Lord Fu praised me, but no one can compare to your miraculous archery skills."

After saying this, he was about to shoot another arrow, but Fu Kang'an hurriedly stopped him and said, "Fourth Miss, don't go to Yancheng."

The fourth girl asked, "Why?"

Fu Kang'an said, "I know you are going to assassinate the emperor. If you fail, you will be charged with capital punishment. I don't want you to die at the hands of the Emperor."

The fourth girl was stunned.

Fu Kang'an continued, "Fourth Miss, promise me that you will stay in Yunzhou."

"Lord Fu, I can't leave the Fourteenth Prince." The fourth girl said seriously.

Fu Kang'an said, "Fourth Miss, you can't leave me."

"The Fourteenth Prince and Lord He are still waiting for me." After the fourth girl said this, she was about to leave.

Fu Kang'an hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Fourth Miss, you can't go."

"Are you afraid that I will die there?" asked the fourth girl.

"I'm scared." After saying this, Fukang'an suddenly hugged the fourth girl and kissed her.

The fourth girl thought that how could she be sentimental about love since she had not yet avenged her great hatred?

At this time, Fu Kang'an said, "Fourth Miss, why do you have to assassinate the emperor?"

The fourth girl said, "Emperor Gai Zhang and I have a deep blood feud. Lord Fu, since you love me so much, please help me avenge my death."

"Okay, I promise you." Fukangan said seriously.

……

Inside the inn, an old blind man was playing the erhu. Mo Li, Gai Zhangdi, Liu Yong, and Du Xiaoyue were sitting together for dinner.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Chenxiang split Mount Hua in half to save his mother. Xu Xian, look at him."

Mo Li said, "Xiao Yue, please don't bring up such things. Xu Xian is worried about not being able to find his mother."

Du Xiaoyue said, "I forgot again. Xu Xian, don't worry. It's just that I don't have a mother. Look, I don't even have a father or a mother."

Mo Li said: "Xiao Yue..."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Okay, I won't say anything more."

Emperor Gai Zhang thought of something and said, "Mo Li, your painting..."

Mo Li said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Mr. Huang San. I drew that picture myself."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You know you can't hide it from me?"

"The signs of aging on that painting are too obvious, and the ink is also new. How could it be hidden from your sharp eyes?" Mo Li smiled helplessly.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You always like to imitate Wu Daozi, and your brushwork can't hide it."

"This Old Wu has caused me so much trouble." Mo Li smiled again.

"Hey, Xu Xian, you are such a thief. You clearly know that the painting is fake, yet you keep silent." Du Xiaoyue said as she knocked on the Stamp Emperor's forehead with her fan.

Mo Li thought, Xiaoyue, have you lost your memory? The person in front of you is the emperor, how dare you disrespect him?

Du Xiaoyue said, "I'm sorry, Xu Xian. I was reckless. I apologize to you." Only after she finished beating him did she remember that Xu Xian was the emperor.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "It's okay, I don't blame you." He thought to himself, if Mo Li hadn't been here, I would have punished you for disrespect long ago.

Du Xiaoyue said, "By the way, Xu Xian, you knew that the painting was fake, so why did you follow us to Yancheng?"

"Mo Li went to great lengths to forge the ancient painting, wasn't it just to lure me to Yancheng? I will oblige him." Emperor Gai Zhang said with a smile.

"Xu Xian, you are so nice." Du Xiaoyue praised.

"Actually, I'm also curious about what Mo Li is up to. What exactly does he want to do by bringing me to Yancheng?" said Emperor Gai Zhang.

Mo Li said, "The painting is fake, but this golden lock is real."

Emperor Gai Zhang was holding a golden lock in his hand at this time and said, "This is the wet nurse's thing."

"Although the wet nurse is from Yunzhou, her husband Zheng Laoquan is from Yancheng. And I have also checked that Zheng Laoquan is a goldsmith." Mo Li said.

Emperor Gai Zhang had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face and said, "Mo Li, you're amazing. What else did you find out?"

Mo Li took out a piece of paper and said, "I have Zheng Laoquan's address here, please take a look." Then he handed the paper over.

Emperor Gai Zhang took it, looked at it carefully, and said, "Liu Yong, let's go."

Du Xiaoyue was about to follow, but Mo Li quickly stopped her and said, "We can't follow."

Du Xiaoyue asked doubtfully, "Why?"

"Xiao Yue, think about it, what are our identities? What is Xu Xian's identity? If we follow him, won't we be exposed?" Mo Li said.

Du Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Brother Li, I almost ruined everything."

"You, you should use your brain more in the future." Mo Li scratched Xiaoyue's nose with his index finger.
