Yu Lingbo would go to the East Palace every day before and after work, but he would always be stopped by soldiers at the gate, so he never stepped into the gate of the East Palace.

Before, he also wanted to go to Poppy and ask His Majesty what was wrong, but seeing the strange atmosphere in the palace recently, he instinctively told him that it would be best not to attract too much attention, so after work today, he didn't even have the East Palace. go again.

"Qingtai, let's go to Tianpingfang today. I heard that there is a new storybook."

Tu Muxiang came to him after work, and around his neck was the fox fur scarf that Yu Lingbo had bought for him. The fluffy and soft fur made his face look smaller.

"Qili, you look so good dressed like this today."

"Well...it's not important, let's go quickly."

Yu Lingbo's hand was pulled, he saw Tu Muxiang's ears turned red again, and couldn't help laughing.

Even if many things go wrong, there is still such a good friend.

Tonight's Tianpingfang is as lively as usual, and the lobby is bustling with people.

"Let's just sit here."

Tu Muxiang pulled Yu Lingbo to sit in the front row of the lobby.

"Why...why are you staring at me?"

"It's okay, I just think you are much more cheerful than before."

Hearing what Yu Lingbo said, Tu Muxiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

I hope I don't let him see something.

"Nanwu's new play has started, let's listen carefully."

On the stage, the storyteller slapped the gavel, and then he put on airs and started talking about the new book.

"...In the past, there was a country where the citizens loved flowers very much. Let's call it the country of Hua. The old emperor of the country of Hua once gave birth to several princesses in succession. Until this year, the whole country looked forward to seeing flowers. The long-awaited little prince was finally born. This little prince is amazing. When he was born, the sky was full of sunshine and a hundred flowers bloomed. Everyone said that this was the reincarnation of the flower fairy.

...But after the little prince became the crown prince, he was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was always mischievous, contradicted the grand master, escaped from the palace, and even killed himself...

... The murder case was being investigated, and just when everyone thought it was the Ministry of Criminal Justice who was going to frame the little prince, the dance leader of the dance workshop came out to speak. He said that the real murderer was not the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the person behind the Ministry of Criminal Justice , whoever is the host of the banquet that night is the murderer!

...After that, the little prince finally succeeded to the throne, but he caught up with natural and man-made disasters, so he had to send people to help the disaster, but there is no reason why the officials in charge of disaster relief have not been corrupt. By the way, I got rid of my political enemies..."

Yu Lingbo originally listened to the script while drinking tea, but the story told by the storyteller today made him feel more and more familiar.

Isn't this... the story of His Majesty?

He was a little surprised, who is this Nan Wu?How can I know such details?

But compared to these questions, he now has a more important idea in his mind.

***

Having lost contact with the capital for more than ten days, Qu Changlan felt a little anxious, even distracted from her recent work.

"Zihui, if you continue to grind this ink, I really won't be able to use it up."

Qu Changlan came back to her senses and saw Taishou An looking at him, then she suddenly reacted, and hastily put down the Mo Bing in her hand.

"I'm sorry my lord, it's my fault."

Prefect An sighed, patted him and said, "I know what you're worried about, but just worrying won't help. Sometimes no news is the best news. You have to believe them."

"That's what the lord said."

"How about this, a group of retainers from the prefect's mansion left before, and now I'm posting a list to recruit people, you go and see for me, and choose a few people to come in as substitutes, this person, when he has something to do, he won't think about it. too many."

Qu Changlan knew that Prefect An didn't want him to worry too much, so she agreed.

The recruitment of doormen in Taishoufu attracted many people, but in the end only seven people were selected.

Qu Changlan looked at those doormen and said: "I am Chang Shi from the prefect's mansion. My surname is Qu and my name is Zihui. You can just call me Qu Changshi from now on. All of you here must be sages if they can pass the selection. Everyone can share the worries and solve the problems for Taishou An, there is nothing important today, so let’s go here first, if you have any difficulties in work in the future, you can talk to me, I will leave, everyone please feel free.”

However, not long after he walked out of the main hall, a doorman chased him up.

"Qu Changshi stayed behind."

"Oh? What's the matter, Mr. Mo?"

Qu Changlan was quite impressed with this doorman. Most of the new doormen just now were helpless scholars and counselors. Only this Mr. Mo showed some kung fu in the test.

It was rare to see a warrior come to be a guest, so Qu Changlan recruited him in. Looking carefully now, this new guest still has a vague chivalrous air.

"I am a member of Lingxiao Mountain Villa, and I have come to see Qu Changshi by order of the young lady."

The young lady of Lingxiao Villa, isn't that...

"Did the sixth princess send you here?"

"Exactly, this is the sixth princess' seal letter, please read it."

As he spoke, he presented a letter, and Qu Changlan opened it to see that it was indeed the sixth princess's handwriting and private seal.

"Young Madam and the Third Princess met at Hongyan Pass, and they were staying with General Bai."

Qu Changlan was a little puzzled when he heard his words: "Why are the third and sixth princesses there?"

"Earlier, when the third princess heard about the border incident, she went to work on behalf of the Ganzhou Jiedu envoy. There she learned about the release of General Bai. Later, when she contacted the other princesses, she realized that they had lost contact with the capital. The Young Madam was worried that something might happen, so she rushed to the border to meet with her. After discussion, she decided to use the power of Lingxiao Villa to establish a Jianghu intelligence network to contact you and other princesses. Recently, we have found out the reason why you lost contact with the capital. That's why I pretended to be a retainer and entered the prefect's mansion to get in touch with you."

"What was the reason for the disconnection?"

When Qu Changlan heard this, she hurriedly asked him.

"Those two friends of yours in the capital are under surveillance, and the letters between you will be intercepted by the surveillance personnel. This is the reason for the loss of contact."

"So that's the case...then are they still safe now?"

"They don't have any problems right now other than being watched."

"That's good."

Qu Changlan finally let go of the hanging heart.

"But they shouldn't be under surveillance for no reason. Has something happened in the capital?"

"Yes, the princesses found that they couldn't get in touch with His Majesty."

Sure enough... If Yu Rong knew about this, he would definitely be very worried.

He suddenly remembered what Prefect An said two days ago: "The handwriting on the recent invitation to An is not written by His Majesty, and I don't know if it is because the dragon is not in good health."

Thinking of this, he hurriedly wrote two letters and handed them to Mr. Mo.

"Give one letter to the sixth princess, and one to Tao Youran, the former censor in the capital. I have written the situation in Yangzhou in it. Please contact them."

"Don't worry, we will definitely transfer the letter to them safely."

***

Although several days had passed since Yu Lingbo's visit, Tao Youran still locked herself at home without showing a single face.

"Master, the flower fertilizer you asked for has been delivered."

"Well, bring it here."

The housekeeper handed over a box that he ordered specially for the orchid in the study.

Tao Youran opened the lid, fiddled with it a few times with a shovel, and found a bamboo tube buried inside.

He took it out and found that it was a bamboo tube used to convey secret letters, so he opened the mud seal on it and took out the letter inside.

After reading it, he immediately asked the housekeeper to invite Mei Shiliang over.

Mei Shiliang heard that he had something important to discuss, so he hurried over before he had time to eat breakfast.

"Yannian, what do you want to say?"

Under normal circumstances, Mei Shiliang knew that Tao Youran had nothing serious to say, so even if he was there, he probably wouldn't take it to heart. If he said something important one day, it must be something important.

"I received a message from Zihui, take a look."

He handed over the letter, and Mei Shiliang quickly took it.

"...It turns out that we are all under surveillance, no wonder we haven't heard from them."

Mei Shiliang was about to say something more, when the butler came to report: "Master, Yu Shizhong is here."

They looked at each other and quickly let Yu Lingbo in.

"Gentlemen, I have something important to tell you."

"You just happened to come, we also have something to tell you, let's take a look at this first."

Mei Shiliang handed the letter to him, Yu Lingbo frowned and read it.

"The Taifu was actually hunted down and injured. Your Majesty must be very sad if he finds out."

"Fortunately, Yu Rong is fine. By the way, let's not talk about this for now. You just said that you have something important to talk about. What is it?"

"I think I probably know what happened to the Jiangnan disaster relief case that made Mr. Tao suspend before."

Yu Lingbo told them what he heard in Tianpingfang.

"Although the storybook is only circulated among the people, many details in the story are only known to those who have participated in the incident, so I suspect that the author of the storybook may be an insider who participated in it."

Mei Shiliang frowned, he thought about the news Yu Lingbo said, and the news about Qu Changlan he had just received, and suddenly remembered what Poppy had said to him the day he became Prime Minister You before he was dismissed from office.

"...I hope he can spend his old age in Yangzhou safely."

"I know who did these things! It must be Poppy, we have to tell Yu Rong about it."

"Why him?"

"Because now he is the only one in charge."

Seeing that Mei Shiliang was so sure, Tao Youran handed him another letter and said, "Here is a way to contact Zihui. Since we are all under surveillance, we must be careful, and Qingtai is the same. If it doesn't matter Don’t come to us easily, lest arouse their suspicion and cause you harm.”

"Well, I'll be careful."

After sorting out the information, they disguised the news in the garbage truck that would be sent out of Tao Mansion every day.

The author has something to say:

There is a little angel on our side who is going to start doing things to assist~()
