incomprehensible

Ye Xuehuan checked the major civil and criminal cases that had been tried in recent years in the Yamen of Youling County early in the morning, looked through the official bank accounts and official books, and got to know some details with the local officials. It was noon.

Many officials accompanying him were a little absent-minded, and they looked at him with subtle eyes.

Although their official positions are not high, they are not bad on weekdays, and their vision can be regarded as broad. Who would have thought that they would be easily seduced by the little boy next to the third prince.A song and dance performance was arranged in the second half of the banquet last night, but those graceful dancers turned out to be boring, it would be more interesting to watch that little boy petting his hooves.

I heard that the third prince had been making trouble in the room for a long time before getting up, and that little boy was not able to get up at all. It really has to make people feel sorry for him. As expected of the third prince, he is so good at finding a bed warmer.

How could Ye Xuehuan not know what these people were thinking, and he wrote down the most obscene ones one by one.He is naturally too lazy to do it himself, but there are plenty of ways to rectify it.

Lunch was directly in the county yamen, and during the meal, Zhao Ying mentioned Hongji to Zhao Ying intentionally or unintentionally.He didn't show any flaws today, he just laughed and said that he had sent someone to communicate and he would arrive in a few days.Ye Xuehuan just passed it by and didn't mention it again.

Back at the residence, the servant reported that Lan Qi had woken up, had lunch, and was practicing calligraphy in the study.

Ye Xuehuan couldn't help laughing, the fact of learning calligraphy was very similar to what a well-behaved little boy would do when he was waiting for his master to come home, it was so funny.

Looking over, Lan Qi was really in the study, writing at his desk, with an extremely serious expression.It's just that the flying posture of the pen doesn't seem to be practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke. When he sensed him coming in, he didn't even lift his head.

Ye Xuehuan didn't bother, and walked over to sit beside him.

What Lan Qi used should be some kind of shorthand method. Every word he wrote lacked arms and legs, and many strokes were shortened. They are just minimal symbols. Except for himself, no one knows what he is writing. No wonder he writes so quickly.

He had already piled up a thick stack of papers, all of which were short letters like this; after writing two or three more sheets, he finally stopped writing, heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully arranged all the papers.

Ye Xuehuan flipped through it symbolically, and asked, "What is it?"

Lan Qi replied: "The transaction accounts between Zhao Ying and Skylark."

Ye Xuehuan raised her eyebrows, seemed a little surprised, then smiled and said, "I told you to sleep well, but you ran around again. Does your butt not hurt anymore?"

Lan Qi glanced at him, "Your Highness specifically told me to return in the afternoon, didn't you want me to spy on you?"

Ye Xuehuan smiled and said nothing, and was not at all embarrassed when he was exposed, and hugged him, "Tell me, how did you get it."

After Mrs. Zhao finished her work, she left with her lover.

Since it's an affair, of course it's not easy to ask the servants to clean up the room. It's convenient for Lan Qi to just pull off the sheets and wash them.

He knocked on the entire bed board and the carved panels on the side with all his fingers, but he didn't hear anything unusual, and after a little thought, he got under the bed.

The bed can barely lie flat, it's pitch black, but it's still clean; it may be due to diligent cleaning, but it's more likely that people often come down to hide things.I knocked everywhere, but I couldn't find any space.

So I spread out my ten fingers, identified inch by inch, and touched it twice carefully, from the beginning to the end, and finally felt a very small gap in the center.Roughly outline a square half a foot long along the gap. When you touch the top with your finger, you will know that it is a trap, but it is so thick and heavy that it can no longer be called a "board". It is more appropriate to say it is a "block". A little, you can't push it away without a little effort.

Inside the trap is a small hidden compartment, which is hidden very deep; if the whole bed is regarded as a box, this hidden compartment is located in the very center of the box, and the six sides have no edges, so no matter where it is knocked, the sound will be heard. Nothing unusual.And the trap was made too tightly, if he hadn't confirmed that there must be something wrong with the bed, he might have missed it.

Almost fooled his golden-eyed fingers, the person who arranged the hidden grid can be said to be very skilled.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao was so violent that she shook the bed so that even the small hidden compartment was creaking, which he heard.

There is a mechanism lock buckle in the dark, and Lan Qi knows it is a double flower plate snake buckle when he touches it.

There is a flower-shaped turntable at each end of this kind of lock, and an iron cable is connected in the middle, which is firmly locked with a mechanism. Only by turning the two turntables at the same time in a specific direction for a specific number of turns can the mechanism be unlocked.But the direction and the number of turns of the two turntables may be different. If you don't know the solution, ordinary people can't solve it at all.

The flower snake buckle is one of the most commonly used mechanism locks in the Skylark, and the production method has never been disclosed to outsiders. The one in Zhao Ying's room is probably installed by the Skylark for him.I just don't know if it's Yunque's secret, or he is afraid that Zhao Ying won't be able to remember the too complicated solution. This is just the simplest double-flower and single-snake buckle.

The most complicated flower snake buckle in Yunxi Pavilion is the eight-flower 24 snakes, two rows of four flowers, two knots between the turntables, not only the direction and the number of turns, but more importantly the sequence of unlocking, as long as you make a mistake , the entire lock plate will be twisted together, and it will be locked.It is said that there is nothing behind this eight-flower button at all, and Yunque is also afraid that if he loses the understanding method, this lock will never be opened again. When people look up, it is already a collection in itself.

In Zhao Yingfang's case, the double-flowered single-snake buckle didn't even deserve to be called a "lock" in Lan Qi's eyes. He twirled both sides, and after hearing the sound of the chain twisting, he immediately recognized the solution and opened it lightly.

Inside the hidden compartment is the transaction account between Zhao Ying and Skylark.

——Of course, he would never say what made him judge that there was something in the bed.

"The account has the signatures of Zhao Ying and Skylark, so it should not be forged." Lan Qi said, "The whole account is written in the code language of Skylark, which should be used by Yubu, which is different from the one in the eye department. I can try Deciphering. But even if it is broken, it can only prove that there is collusion between Zhao Ying and Yunque, and it can't get along with the Liu family. After all, it is a foreign surname, and if something happens, it can only be blamed."

Ye Xuehuan glanced at the stack of papers in his hand, and said with a smile: "You memorize the entire account, and after reading it, restore it to the original, and then write it silently when you come back?"

Lan Qi nodded: "If I say that I can never forget, will your Highness believe me?"

Ye Xuehuan laughed, and pointed at the stack of papers, "Is it still hard for me to believe it?"

He kissed Lan Qi on the cheek, and praised: "You really deserve to be my good kitten."

Lan Qi blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's not really a photographic memory, it's just a forced memory. It doesn't take long. So hurry up and write it down in shorthand, and then transcribe it later."

Ye Xuehuan hummed, and asked again: "What else?"

Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, although he knew that he might just ask casually, but he still couldn't help but think of the sex scene, and replied stiffly: "It's nothing."

"Really?" Ye Xuehuan moved closer to his ear, deliberately lowered his voice, and said slowly, "You are in Zhao Ying's bedroom...you really didn't see anything?"

Lan Qi was startled, and when he turned around to see his obviously malicious and secretive smile, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and shouted out: "That lover is, is..."

"Well, it's mine." Ye Xuehuan suppressed a smile and nodded, "I didn't expect Lan'er to be so precise, and she found the right place all at once."

"you you……"

Lan Qi's entire face flushed instantly, her staring almond eyes were filled with shame and annoyance, she even forgot to use her honorific title, and said "you" directly to Ye Xuehuan.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Xuehuan felt even happier, and explained with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you just ran into it. This method was given to me by Lu Yao. If that kid hurts, who will None of him is wicked. It’s a little low, but it’s quicker. I’ve already got all the evidence from Madam Zhao. The tail of the skylark. It was Lan'er who helped me find the most important thing."

Lan Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak, he would be overwhelmed by the erotic scene, all thanks to the instigator in front of him; he thought that at least no one would know, and it would not be too embarrassing, but he didn't expect that the instigator was all It's fine if you know it, but you still have to say it to tease him.So he said with a straight face: "The adulterer you arranged...may not know everything about you."

"Oh?" Ye Xuehuan leaned over and asked with squinted eyes, "For example?"

Lan Qi took a deep breath, "For example, Mrs. Zhao arranged for you, saying that you let Hongji serve wine because you fell in love with her. You tasted all the young and beautiful ones, and the one next to you has too little water, and you want to change the taste."

Ye Xuehuan laughed loudly when he heard the words, his subordinates would definitely not dare to convey such words, so Lan Qi would only tell him.

Lan Qi thought it was funny even when he thought about it, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.Ye Xuehuan saw his little action that couldn't help laughing. Although it was so clear and shallow that he didn't even draw out the two small dimples, it was the first time in a long time that he saw him really smile. He liked it so much, he teased: "Whether Lan'er has clear soup and little water, I know best."

Lan Qi blushed again, struggled slightly, but was hugged even tighter, and heard Ye Xuehuan say behind him: "Lan'er has made a great contribution again... Tell me, what should I reward you for?"

His voice was low and hoarse, his tone was ambiguous, and his hands were gently stroking his waist, the implication was extremely obvious.Lan Qi replied bluntly, "No, no need."

Ye Xuehuan smiled lightly, turned him around, pressed him into her arms, and lowered her head to nibble on his thin white side neck, "Really?"

Lan Qi twisted her waist, but she couldn't dodge it, she could only be teased by him, blushing and panting.Ye Xuehuan felt a little satisfied, and couldn't help teasing him again: "If you dare to tell me no, I will pour you three big pots of wine first, and see if you want it.

The word "wine" was such a shame, Lan Qi immediately fell silent.Ye Xuehuan accepted it when he was ready, and patted him on the back, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Change your clothes and go out with me."

…………

For some obvious reason, Chu Changyue didn't want to see Ye Xuehuan very much in a short time, so he went straight to the outside of the city after leaving the county office at noon, and went to the Yulin Army camp to drink with Wei Yan and complain.

Ye Xuehuan ignored him, and asked Tong Xuan to prepare the carriage, took the imperial doctor Wen Luo with him, and slipped out through the side door of the governor's mansion.

Wen Luo stands in his old age, looks gentle and elegant, with a medicine box slung across his waist, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes and the curvature of his mouth have a kind of soothing power, and he has a doctor's temperament that can make patients feel at ease and entrust themselves to him .Seeing Ye Xuehuan, he saluted without being humble or overbearing, then bowed to Lan Qi, and called "Mr. Lan".

Lan Qi had been by Ye Xuehuan's side for more than a month, and it was the first time that someone called him a son in such a serious manner. Instead, he was stunned and returned a salute.

A few people were passing through in an unremarkable pony carriage. Ye Xuehuan held Lan Qi on his lap with a calm expression, not knowing what he was thinking.Tong Xuan was already used to it anyway, Wen Luo still had a smile on his face, and he didn't show any curiosity about Lan Qi at all. He seemed to be the kind of person who talked less and gave more energy, and was the kind of person that the master liked the most.

In the end, they actually came to the small house provided by Nanfu before.

It was Mo Yangui who came out of the door, and the inside was not as empty as before, there were many guards standing there; when they saw Ye Xuehuan coming, they all saluted.

A few people came to the small flower hall in the backyard. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a person sitting on the soft blanket behind the desk. He was wearing a loose smock, with long hair hanging down to his waist. Half a teardrop was hanging; seeing a few people coming in, he lazily said: "Oh, third brother, you came so early."

"Morning?" Ye Xuehuan sneered, "Are you a pig?"

"You can't blame me." The man replied with a smile, "Mo Ran came back in the middle of the night last night and lost his temper. He was still panting after going to bed, which made me unable to sleep. It's normal to catch up on sleep during the day. Nothing to do anyway."

Ye Xuehuan pulled Lan Qi to sit down opposite him, and said with a sneer, "He really has face."

The princes in Chongyang all look like their mothers. Empress Chu is luxurious and glamorous, and the princes born are naturally imposing; Empress Nangong is a typical Jiangdong lady, soft and charming, and the fourth prince born is soft and lovely. Even as a woman, she has a flawless appearance.Her lips were full, her chin was narrow, but her cheeks were plump, her expression was lazy and affectionate, with a bit of haze of just waking up, and a bit of charm for no reason.A pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be full of spring water, and they narrowed slightly when they smiled.

It is also the same color as colored glaze, but it has a completely different feeling from Ye Xuehuan; Ye Xuehuan is as bright and sharp as a blade, but he is as deep and clear as a lake, each with its own style.

If you just look at the appearance, this fourth prince is more like a male favorite than Lan Qi, and both the name and the subtitle are a bit indiscriminate between men and women; but he is a prince after all, and he has an attitude that cannot be underestimated , Even if it is to make a show, people dare not offend easily.

"Third brother, don't be angry." Ye Xuexun still had a good-natured smile, "I taught him a lesson for you yesterday."

Even his speech was slow and soft, and there were some ambiguous traces under the loose skirts, which he didn't even bother to cover up.A glazed bottle exactly like Ye Xuehuan's hung between the collarbones. It was said to be a very important item, and each of the princes in Chongyang had one.

Because of the heat poisoning just now, although his complexion is not good and his face is pale, there are always two abnormal blush on his cheeks, making him look more and more charming.If he hadn't been born in the royal family, he would have been a master who brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Are you teaching him a lesson?" Ye Xuehuan glanced at his neck, "Let's teach him a lesson on the bed."

If this kind of ridicule is on Lan Qi, even if he can put on an indifferent face, he won't be able to say anything good; Ye Xuexun didn't change his face, and his smile became more intense: "If you don't teach me a lesson, you have to go to bed Well, not bad."

Lan Qi couldn't listen anymore, and finally understood why Tong Xuan didn't come in consciously.

However, the fourth prince turned his attention to him at this time, propped his chin on the desk with his hands, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, the smile on his face became more and more weird, and Lan Qi couldn't help but feel hairy all over, Finally said: "So that's it, this is Xiao Lanqi who made the third brother 'sexy'."

Ye Xuehuan: "..."

Lan Qi put on his usual calm expression, and said in a low voice, "I have seen the Fourth Highness."

Compared to everyone else around him, Ye Xuexun had no hostility towards him, and happily pulled him along, chatting with him and asking, "You look so young, how old are you, third brother won't be old?" Do cows eat tender grass?"

Ye Xuehuan silently clenched his fists.

Lan Qi glanced at him and said calmly, "In half a year, I'll be twenty."

"Oh, it's not much younger than me, why is it so tender." Ye Xuexun curled her lips, and reached out to pinch Lan Qi's cheek, "No wonder the third brother likes it, this little face is soft."

Lan Qi was pinched by him silently, neither resisting nor responding, his whole body was numb.

Seeing his indifferent and expressionless appearance, Ye Xuexun wanted to tease him even more, rolled her eyes, and asked, "How is my third brother?"

The corners of Ye Xuehuan's eyes twitched.

Before Lan Qi realized what he was asking, he continued to ask, "Is it fierce? How long? Not long ago..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the forehead with a slap.

Ye Xuehuan shook his hand, smiled and said, "Are you itchy?"

Lan Qi: "..."

Ye Xuexun laughed out loud, leaning back and forth from the laughter, out of breath, and said while wiping away tears, "Ouch... Third Brother, I'm sorry... Hahahaha...cough cough..."

Extreme joy begets sadness, he loses his breath from laughing, and then lays down on the table and coughs continuously.Ye Xuehuan sighed helplessly, and called Wen Luo over.

Wen Luo, who had been waiting by the side, immediately stepped forward, took out a silk pillow from the medicine box and placed it on the case, "Fourth Highness, please."

Ye Xuexun seemed quite disapproving, but she obediently rolled up her sleeves, put her wrists up, asked Wen Luo to diagnose her pulse, and said casually: "Oh, it's a trivial matter. No matter how humid and hot Nanqiu County is, this first month How can it be possible to explode. Anyway, I have also been on the battlefield. It is said among the people that I can jump several feet and shoot a bow, but you all treat me like a porcelain vase."

As he spoke, he puffed up his cheeks and pursed his lips. He looked aggrieved, and even looked a little coquettish, but who knows how much bitterness he has experienced behind him, so that he put himself in this way? He was so hot and poisonous that he didn't care.

Ye Xuehuan sneered and said, "Where did the folk rumors come from, and what is the truth, you know in your heart."

Ye Xuexun closed her mouth guiltily.

After Wen Luo checked his pulse, he reported back to him: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness is indeed fine, and has not damaged the viscera, qi and blood. When the body temperature drops, you can start again. The south is humid and warm, and it is best to return to the north as soon as possible. good."

"Did you hear that?" Ye Xuexun raised her brows triumphantly, "I've already told you I'm fine."

Mo Ran just came in at this time, sat down beside him, put a bowl of soup in his hand heavily in front of him, and reprimanded: "It's nothing. I haven't had an attack in winter for several years. It almost didn't scare me." Die. You said that you have nothing to do and why did you come to the southern border?"

"That's not for you." Ye Xuexun narrowed her eyes, wrapped her hands around Mo Ran's shoulders, and kissed him wetly on the face, rubbing her cheek against his neck, "I miss you."

Ye Xuehuan: "..."

Lan Qi: "..."

Wen Luo resigned very tactfully and went out to wait.

"Don't make trouble." Mo Ran blushed, glanced at the other two people at the table, and pushed Ye Xuexun down, "Hurry up and drink the medicine, it's already cooled for you."

Ye Xuexun teased Mo Ran severely, feeling very happy, picked up the medicine bowl by herself, and drank it slowly one mouthful at a time.

Mo Ran and Ye Xuehuan were still in a state of cold war, but at this moment their eyes met, and another burst of fire burst out.

Lan Qi didn't know anything about it, but he could vaguely guess that it was related to him, so he didn't say a word.

Ye Xuehuan sneered and said, "Do you have something to say?"

Mo Ran also sneered, and glanced at Lan Qi, his eyes were extremely unkind, and just about to speak again, Ye Xuexun twisted his arm unexpectedly, and immediately hissed, unable to speak.

"Be nicer, we agreed last night." Ye Xuexun drank the medicine slowly, winking at Lan Qi, "Little Lan Qi might be my savior."

Lan Qi froze for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and then at Ye Xuehuan.Ye Xuehuan explained: "As I said before, Nuan Wen's heat poison cannot be cured, but there is a very cold thing called Guanghan Jade, which can suppress his heat poison to a minimum, even in summer. Hard to do it again."

"And the only piece of Guanghan Jade in this world..." He looked at Lan Qi and said slowly, "It is said that it is in the Mausoleum of Xingzu Huang."

Lan Qi's pupils shrank, and he understood the reason why he brought him here to find Ye Xuexun.

Xingzu was the founding monarch of the former Feng Dynasty, with the posthumous title of "Xing", and was called Xingzu by later generations.

The founding monarch can be said to be an emperor through the ages. After unifying the world, he made great efforts to govern, created an unprecedented prosperity, and left a strong mark in the history books.The Feng Dynasty can rule for thousands of years, even if it is extremely lewd in the end, it can die for several generations, which is largely due to the good foundation laid by the founding monarch.Even if Ye Xueshi later replaced him, he could not erase the achievements of this peerless king against his conscience.

According to legend, Awakening Ancestor's talent is astounding in the world, not to mention Wentao and Wulue, he is even better at medicine refining Gu and organ formation.Almost all such characters have a common problem, that they cherish their lives and are afraid of death.For many years after Xingzu unified the world, he was obsessed with the art of immortality, but he couldn't escape death in the end.In his later years, knowing that there was no hope of everlasting life, he began to personally select the site, design and supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and put his whole life's efforts in it, including the countless worldly treasures he collected, various armor smelting methods, mechanism array diagrams, pharmaceutical refining Gu Many of the techniques have long been lost in this world.

According to the historical records of the Feng family, this peerless king was not carried into the imperial tomb after his death, but walked in by himself before his death, and closed the imperial tomb from the inside with his own hands.The imperial mausoleum itself is also different from ordinary mausoleums, it is not completely sealed, but there is a way to survive; Xingzu once said that if the Feng family weakens and declines after many years, its imperial mausoleum can be opened, and the various priceless treasures in it can be used to make a comeback.

"To wake up the ancestor's mausoleum, you need three essential things." Lan Qi said, "One is a map indicating the location of the mausoleum, the other is the diagram of the mechanism array to open the mausoleum gate, and the third is the structural diagram of the mausoleum's interior The map of the imperial mausoleum is said to have been given as a gift when the Feng family married the Mobei Hu people hundreds of years ago..."

Having said that, he couldn't help but glance at Mo Ran thoughtfully.

"That's right, that's the real reason why our prince of Yanbei beat Beihu to the bum." Ye Xuehuan said narrowly, "Did you suddenly feel that your son is a great lover?"

"Shut up." Mo Ran rolled her eyes and said to Lan Qi, "Go on."

Lan Qi said softly: "I know why the prince is looking for me. The other two pictures are indeed in the skylark, hidden in Yunxi Pavilion, I have seen them all."

"You..." Mo Ran's throat rolled, and Mo Lan's eyes were full of eager anticipation, "You really..."

Lan Qi nodded and said, "I've studied the layout diagram of the Mausoleum Gate, and I should be able to open it. I also remember the internal structure diagram. If the prince wants it, I can copy it..."

Mo Ran jumped up excitedly, hugged Ye Xuexun, and shouted overjoyedly: "Did you hear Nuan'er, this time it's really good! I'll help you when I send you back to the northern border." If you take Guanghan Jade, you won't have to suffer in the future."

Ye Xuexun hooked his neck, still smiling, her peach blossom eyes flashed with gentle streamers.

The picture is very warm and beautiful, and Lan Qi couldn't bear to destroy it, but he had to interrupt: "...but, if you want to go into the imperial mausoleum to get things, these are not enough."

Mo Ran froze, her smile slightly cold.

Lan Qi sighed, and continued: "Xingzu is proficient in mechanism formations. It is said that there are more than 200 mechanism traps in the entire imperial tomb, which are deadly, extremely dangerous, and impossible to break. Only one mechanism key can silence all the traps. Without this key, it would be difficult to walk an inch in the imperial mausoleum, let alone fetch things from the deepest mausoleum."

Mo Ran took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling in her voice, and asked with the last sliver of hope: "Then this key...?"

"...I don't know." Lan Qi shook his head, not daring to look at his expression at the moment, "This key is recorded on the structural map of the imperial mausoleum, but I don't know where it is. It is said that it is also related to Skylark It is related, but there is no Yunxi Pavilion, and I don't have the authority to go to the cabinet of Xinbu."

He lowered his head, his eyes dimmed slightly, "I'm sorry... I can't help you any more."

As if a basin of cold water had been poured down, there was no sound in the entire flower hall for a while, so quiet that a needle could be heard.Ye Xuehuan frowned, with a gloomy expression; Mo Ran was even more anxious, clenched his fists, and his nails were already embedded in his flesh.

"Oh, why don't you do this." In the end, Ye Xuexun laughed first, "Isn't there some progress at last? I've been here for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry."

He kissed Mo Ran's face again, "Don't worry, take your time."

It was clearly the matter most closely related to him, but in the end he was required to comfort other people.Mo Ran hugged him tightly, and the expression on his face didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh: "How can you be so heartless."

"Sometimes life must be there, there is no need to force it." Ye Xuexun patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Lan Qi and smiled, "Thank you too, little Lan Qi."

Looking at his nonchalant smile, Lan Qi bit his lower lip, as if he had made up his mind, and said word by word: "It's not that there is no way to break through."

"..."

Although hope was rekindled, but hearing Lan Qi's hesitation, he knew it was definitely not a good idea.Several people did not speak, waiting for Lan Qi to speak.

Lan Qi breathed out lightly, and his voice was extremely low: "Xing Zu originally left the things in the imperial tomb to future generations, so no matter how many organs are activated in the entire imperial tomb, it will not hurt the imperial tomb." itself; and all mechanisms, without exception, can only be activated once. So..."

He raised his head and looked straight at Mo Ran with an unprecedented solemn expression: "...as long as enough lives are piled up to trigger all the traps, theoretically... you can force your way in."
