Bai Tian's health is not good, in Wang Ye's opinion, anything that makes his little Bai bother his mind and mind is not a good thing.The old prince and Peng Qi are the culprits, but after all, it is still powerless to face them head-on, so let's start with those who are close to the capital.

No matter how many centipede feet there are, there will always be a day when they can be chopped off.

Regardless of whether Ma Chengyang was bewitched or not, he had hurt Bai Tian like this, so he had to ask him for an explanation.

But the lord, it's not a stupefied young man who wants to vent his anger, so he raises a knife to a duel.

Both he and Bai Zhou felt that the reason for Ma Chengyang's crime was not as simple as what Chen Xingning and the Ministry of Criminal Investigation found out.

In the past few days, Bai Tian's dependence on drugs would break out from time to time. At this time, King Yuanning took care of him alone, and even Bugo was not allowed to come in.

During the daytime, people are inseparable from people, so King Yuanning arranged some tasks that he would not need to do by himself.

The map on Shang Yuyan's back connected to many deep houses in Chaoyue City.

But because the rubbings are mottled and stained with blood, too many places have been blurred.

The prince ordered someone to sneak through and check every exit sign clearly.

day to day.

The days between addictive episodes are getting longer and longer, which is a good thing.

Several wounds on his body have healed well.

It's just that he didn't dare to give him more painkillers, so his skin and flesh were bitter, and he still suffered a little during the day.

Every day, when he wakes up in the daytime, the lord talks to him to relieve his boredom, reads books and plays chess, and distracts him in different ways. Focus on the wound.

Twice he woke up from a startled dream, it was late at night, and he thought the prince had also rested.

I never thought that once I saw him researching prescriptions, and another time I saw him sorting out some documents.

Even a body made of iron can't help but spend it like this.

Bai Zhou knew that only by recovering quickly would he be able to work less.

It is extremely rare to follow the doctor's advice very much, which makes the prince extremely happy.

Finally, a month or so passed, the day's wounds scabbed over, and the drug addiction had not been committed for five or six days.

It's just that the summer heat is severe, and there are extra hot flashes. New flesh grows on his wound, and it's very itchy.

Go around the house.

The prince was sitting on the side, watching him walk around the house like a trapped animal——

These days, he only went out of the house twice in the court, and gave orders in the court, saying that Ma Chengyang should ask carefully, and if he died, the whole family of the official who handled him would be buried with him.

In a word, Wen Yibin and other important ministers of the Three Jurisdictions were all over the head.

Other than that, he really wasn't going anywhere.

At this moment, it seems that the body is getting better, and the spirit is coming.

In the evening, it was rare to cool off, and during the day, I couldn't help but said to the prince: "The patient asks to go out to get some air."

The five spines and six beasts look funny and pitiful.

The prince accompanied him to watch the sunset in the courtyard of Chaolu Hall for a while, and was about to go back when Bu Ge led Qian Lu to come.

The young man had no fear of the daytime. He hadn't seen such a "happy" emperor for many days. Seeing that his body was getting better, he greeted him happily. There were no outsiders around, so he said to the prince: "The jade man sent a letter." , the two things you arranged are already in sight."

King Yuanning glared at him.

Qian Lu immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.

He has always felt that the prince and the emperor are as good as one person, and they are together every day recently, even if the emperor has injuries on his body, there is nothing wrong with his mind.Can't the prince tell the emperor about his recent actions?

Only now did I know that the prince is making a fortune in silence, and he is holding back his treasure.

But the words that are spoken are the water that is poured out.

Then he looked at the prince with guilt, and took out a map and a stack of letters from his arms.

At first glance, the map was newly drawn, and the authentic letter was extremely old. Seeing that this time, King Yuanning could not keep his back on the daylight, so he said, "Go into the palace to have a look, but you can only have a look."

Bai Zhou was slightly taken aback, smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything.

He unfolded the map and saw that the drawings and paintings extend in all directions, and the winding passages are not like the roads in the city. During the day, he already knew about Shang Bing and Shang Yuyan in the previous dynasty, and knew that this was the secret passage drawing restored by the prince.

The landmarks marked at the end of the road are shocking, like Lexi Hall, the former Ziwei Lingfu, Yuanning Palace, and Ningde Palace where King Rui died.

Seeing this, Bai Tian couldn't help frowning slightly, although the secret passage leads to the palace, but it's not as simple as a simple lip touch for bad guys to come in and want to come and go.

King Rui died so happily that day precisely because he happened to live in Ningde Hall.

But is this really just right?

During the day, I saw that there was a letter in the map, which was sealed with wax and had not been opened, but I was surprised when I saw the handwriting on the envelope. It was Ziwei Ling Gu Huan who died in the official donation case. .

The envelope was opened, and there were only a few words inside: "If you want to keep the secret of the late emperor's edict, help me."

But he... still died.

"Where did you find this letter?" Bai Zhou asked.

Qian Lu shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

King Yuanning took the envelope, looked at it carefully for a while, and found the secret signal given to him by the jade man, he leaned closer to Bai Tian's ear, and said in a very low voice: "It's in the underground tunnel of Prince Yuanning's mansion."

The two looked at each other, and fell into deep thought at the same time - at that time, it felt like Gu Huan was waiting for something. It turned out that he had asked the original owner of the Yuanning King for help.

But obviously he would not succeed, because Jian Lanyuan's eyes were dark at the time.

But if this is a threat, there should be countermeasures.But the secret of the late emperor's edict has not been leaked, so why?

I couldn't figure it out for a while.

Bai Tian's eyes fell on the stack of old letters again...

----------

In the scorching summer, the cicadas in the street market make people feel dry.

A horse-drawn carriage galloped on the sparsely populated street that was steamed by the scorching sun, passing through the streets and alleys, much smoother than usual.

It took only two quarters from Duanshu Princess Mansion in the south of the city to the gate of Ma Xun's house in the west of the city.

Ma Xun, the former censor of the left capital, has been home for several years to "recover from his illness". A few years ago, New Year's Eve almost became a nightmare for him, and when he always dreamed back at midnight, he was terrified and restless.

Ma Xun, as a speech officer, was once a guest of King Rui, and his life went smoothly for most of his life, and then it can be said that he was on a steady rise.Unexpectedly, the calamity came as soon as it was said. Just because he participated in the emperor's New Year's waste ceremony, he was stripped of his clothes by this stupid king and tied on the royal road at the entrance of Chaolu Hall.

The Hunjun not only asked the passing palace people to stop and watch, but also intentionally exposed Ma Xun's sensitive parts, so he didn't need to pinch him to cover up his embarrassment.

It is conceivable that the scene was hot and tragic.

After several rounds, Ma Xun was ashamed and angry, bit his tongue and tried to commit suicide, but reminded the faint king that before he was awake, the imperial decree came down to the mansion—if he committed suicide, he would be buried with the three clans.

Once the face is swept away.

Fast forward a few years.

Dayao was not a dynasty where women were so humble that they were in the dust, and there were not many restraints on women.

Mrs. Ma had such a scandal, and the faces of the wives were not good-looking, and I don't know when such a day will end.

Finally, except for the eldest lady who had been married since she was a child, the rest all made peace with Ma Xun one after another for their own future.

Recently, because of Ma Chengyang's plot to assassinate Shengjia, the Ma family was surrounded by the Longwu army.

In the evening of this day, a carriage came in front of the empty Ma Mansion.The officers and soldiers of the Longwu Army wanted to stop, the young man driving took out his waist card and handed it over, the general immediately saluted and made way for the road.

The young man who got out of the car exuded a calm aura.

He has a simple hair crown, with only one pearl inlaid on the small ebony crown. He is wearing a crow-green gown with a moon-white gauze as thin as a cicada's wings. The folding fan is shaking gently, and his gestures can reveal a noble air. Leisurely.

He smiled to the young man beside him, "Is the greeting card ready?"

The young man took out a crimson and gold post from his pocket, and said: "Prince, even if you come to the door directly, it is not impolite. You see, Mr. Ma has even withdrawn from the door now."

Yuan Ning Wang said: "Master Ma is only recuperating at home, and this king's rank is only half a step higher than him, how can he be so casual, not to mention, it would be impolite for us to pay a sudden visit," he said, laughing at the young man With a wave of shoulders, "knock the door and pass the post."

The young man was Qian Lu, who went to knock on the door knocker. After a while, someone came to answer the door.

The person who answered the door was an old man. Seeing that the person came with a face, he was not cautious, and asked: "This gentleman has a face, so where is the height?"

Qian Lu returned the gift and said: "Old man, this is the prince of Yuanning, please go and deliver the post, it's a hot day, and you will expose our prince to heatstroke."

The old man's expression flashed unexpectedly, and then he quickly said yes, and trotted to report back.

After only a moment of effort, he came back again, but he was the only one.

Qian Lu first said: "Master Ma is so arrogant? The prince came to visit, and he didn't go out and downgrade, and he didn't even show his face?"

The old man said: "Young official, don't worry, my lord has been sick since...cough, and recently my young master...and... Your lord doesn't know the prince, and he is busy washing and changing clothes now. It's too hot, please move your lord, and drink tea in the flower hall later."

King Yuanning smiled and said: "That's right, this king lost his manners, don't blame Lord Ma."

Wait for a while in the flower hall, it takes half an hour to wait.

Qian Lu stood behind the prince and muttered, "Is this washing and changing or laying eggs?"

The prince rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's becoming more and more unruly."

Qian Lu stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

When he was a servant in the palace, he had heard the reputation of Yuan Ning Wang. Some people said that this prince is a smiling tiger, and he clings to the emperor's favor.

After following the prince these days, I only think that he is kind and kind, and he is sincere to the emperor, and I don't see any deliberate clinging to him.

After Wangye tea passed through the triple water, he heard footsteps coming from far and near in the corridor, and it was Ma Xun who came.

Master Ma's figure is quite tall and straight, but his hair is all white, the wrinkles on his face are piled up with vicissitudes, and there is an inexplicable depth in his eyes, full of too many emotions.

Such a disobedient appearance and expression made it impossible to guess his age.

King Yuanning didn't make many detours, and said bluntly: "Master Ma retreats to the left and right, I don't hurry, I have a few words to say."

Ma Xun hesitated slightly, and motioned to the left and right to step back.

The prince smiled and said: "I don't want to mention Lord Ma's heart disease back then, but in my opinion, it is really not wrong for Sir Ma to be targeted by His Majesty."

After that, he smiled and looked at Ma Xun.

If a person has a ghost in his heart, an insinuation from the other party can turn his heart around.

It's just that Ma Xun is an old sparrow from Dongting Lake after all, so he pretended not to know, so he got up and bowed to the prince without saying a word.

King Yuanning imagined that he would pretend to be stupid, but he didn't expect that his behavior of retreating into advancement, neither admitting nor denying it, a big gift, would make sense anyway.

But after all, the prince really has information in his hand, so he continued not to talk nonsense with him, took out a letter and handed it to Ma Xun.

The letter paper was so old that it was a little yellow, and Ma Xun knew it was over when he saw the cover of the letter—this letter was written by him to King Rui.The old prince is confused, why not burn such a confidential letter?

Do you really think that if you go to the fiefdom, the sky is high and the emperor is far away? Are you careless?

As a result, when I opened it, I found that the letter paper was actually burned, and some handwriting had been burned, but for some reason, it was rescued by someone at a critical moment.

The prince didn't give Ma Xun too much time to think, and said: "My lord, back then I collaborated with King Rui to forge the imperial decree, and this matter fell into my hands. How do I hope this king will deal with it?"

It turned out that the broken letter in Ma Xun's hand was written to King Rui back then. Back then, he took advantage of his position as the censor of Zuodu to steal the jade scroll silk brocade on which the imperial edict was mounted and the brocade and cloud pattern silk on which the imperial edict was written. , And bribed the imperial eunuch to secretly seal the imperial decree, and handed over a printed "imperial decree" to King Rui.

The person who stole the seal was the former imperial eunuch, Bao Heng, who was caught by the daylight a few days ago.

Ma Xun saw that the lord had ironclad evidence in hand, so it was useless to argue any more, so he said: "The lord came here this time, shouldn't he be here to question the official Xingshi?"

His tongue was short, and his words were strange, even a little funny.

But the reason for this consequence is still embarrassing.
