Capture the Jade:

The three siblings returned to the inner courtyard, and Chunrong tiptoed up to meet her and said, "Madam was too tired on the road, she just fell asleep in the back room."

The three of them were afraid that Mrs. Du would be woken up if they entered the room, so they sat side by side on the steps in the porch and talked in low voices.

"I don't know if Ji Zhen is getting better or not, I have to go to Hu Mansion to visit him tomorrow." Du Shaotang looked melancholy at the falling flowers all over the ground in front of the court.

Teng Yuyi turned the Huicao in her hand, and suddenly said: "Sister, why don't you go back to your home for a few days."

"How do you say that?" The siblings were puzzled.

"Think about it, if Lin Chengyou is not fully sure, he will not easily scare the snake. I suspect that he must have found something before he suddenly asked Lu Zhaoan about Mr. Hu's illness. Mr. Hu and Lu Zhaoan cannot be said to have a deep hatred, at best they know His true character, if this disease is really related to Lu Zhaoan, Lu Zhaoan must have done it because he was afraid of damaging his reputation."

"This is too—"

"Too ruthless, isn't it?" Teng Yuyi snorted, "Although Lu Zhaoan has won the Jinshi, he has not yet passed the imperial court's system (Note 1). At present, there is no conclusion yet. If Mr. Hu jumped out at this time and said that Lu Zhaoan was inconsistent, would you say that Lu Zhaoan’s reputation would be damaged? How can you make a mistake at this time if you have become a Jinshi?"

Du Shaotang pondered for a moment, and said bitterly: "It's true, this villain can't do anything for his own future."

"I'm not worried about anything else now, but I'm worried that he will have ill intentions against sister."

"But among the villains, Jinshi's time is not short, and I haven't seen him doing any secretive behavior towards sister."

Teng Yuyi thought of the man's boot print next to his cousin's corpse in the previous life, and sneered, "Don't forget that the origin of the tree demon has not yet been found out, and Lu Zhaoan may not want to move, he is just sure that the Du family will not show up for the time being because of their reputation. Accusing him. Moreover, he has not been able to find a chance. After being attacked by the tree demon, my sister has been recuperating at home. A while ago, because she avoided the corpse evil, she went to the Dayin Temple to escape the disaster for a few days. Lu Zhaoanlian's cousin's whereabouts I can't figure out how to find an opportunity to start. Shaotang, don't you know what Lu Zhaoan is most concerned about right now?"

"The imperial court's system? Or——"

"The Zheng family's marriage." Du Tinglan said flatly.

Teng Yuyi quietly looked at her elder sister's expression: "Zheng Pushe is now the official prime minister, and Lu Zhaoan wants to reach the sky in one step. There is no faster way than marrying Zheng Shuangyin directly. But according to my opinion, Zheng Shuangyin's attitude towards this marriage seems to be the same as before. It was not the same for a while, yesterday the queen wanted to propose a new name for the academy, if Zheng Shuangyin wanted to marry Lu Zhaoan, she would probably be perfunctory, but she not only actively contributed her name, but also came up with a good name like 'Dongyou', I guess if this news reaches Lu Zhaoan's ears, it will definitely make him restless, the marriage between the two families has not yet been settled, if Zheng Shuangyin changes his mind, Lu Zhaoan's wishful thinking will be in vain."

Du Shaotang showed confusion: "Didn't the Zheng family like Lu Zhaoan very much a while ago? All the classmates in the Imperial College said that Zheng Pushe wanted to recruit Lu Jinshi to be his son-in-law."

"At the time of Cheng Wang's Poetry Meeting, Zheng Shuangyin really cared about Lu Zhaoan, but when the corpse came that night, perhaps because she paid too much attention to Lu Zhaoan's every move, she realized that this person was not of mediocre character, she is a smart person After going back, I must have thought about what happened that night. After thinking about it these days, I may have been shaken. But in Lu Zhaoan's opinion, the elder sister has been in contact with Zheng Shuangyin these few times. A villain like him will not regret his conduct. , would only suspect that Auntie corrupted him in front of Zheng Shuangyin, if he blamed Auntie, he would be impatient to do something."

"That's why you want Sister to live in the mansion?"

Teng Yuyi admitted: "The imperial court re-opened Yunyin Academy, and it will affect the whole body. In order to figure out the holy will, it is not unusual for the Zheng family to do anything at this time. Lu Zhaoan is afraid that Zheng Shuangyin will participate in the selection of the clan's relatives, so he must hope soon Set up this marriage. Mr. Hu's illness is strange, and I am worried that he will use the same method to deal with sister."

Du Shaotang straightened his thin chest: "Cousin Yu, don't worry, I'm old too, I won't let that villain hurt my sister."

Du Tinglan frowned slightly: "You are still young, why are you just joining in the fun."

Teng Yuyi knew that his aunt and cousin were used to hiding Shaotang under their wings, and they never let him suffer from the wind and rain, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, Shaotang is not young, he is the son of Du's eldest son, he should have I have learned how to start a family, let him practice a few more times, maybe he can get rid of the habit of crying. Here, Shaotang, this is for you."

"What is this?" Shaotang blushed and took the bald pen from Teng Yuyi.

"This is the Magical Artifact of Dongming Temple, which can be used to deal with evil spirits. When you visit Hu Jizhen in Hu Mansion tomorrow, remember to bring this with you. From tomorrow onwards, I will let Huo Qiu follow you. I will not When it’s convenient to go out and walk around, pay more attention to the movements of Lin Chengyou and Lu Zhaoan.”

"Huo Qiu?" Du Shaotang's eyes lit up, "Is that the elder brother who is very good at martial arts?"

Teng Yuyi smiled: "In the future, you can ask him to do whatever you want to do, but he is just a guard. He doesn't know right or wrong, and he can't make up your mind for you. You have to learn to plan the overall situation. Think in advance. When you understand, speak again."

Du Shaotang happily jumped down from the steps: "Understood, don't worry, Cousin Yu."

Du Tinglan thoughtfully looked at his younger brother's windy figure, and didn't speak for a while.

At this moment, Mrs. Du came out of the room, and was about to reprimand her son, "Be careful." Du Tinglan got up and took her mother's arm: "Don't worry about him, Madam, he is already so old, he knows what's important."

These days Teng Shao was busy transporting the military rations and never returned home, Du's mother and son left after eating, but Du Tinglan stayed behind.

After the sisters took a bath, Biluo and Chunrong took towels and handkerchiefs to help wipe their wet hair.

Biluo looked down and saw the little golden bell on Teng Yuyi's wrist, and couldn't help but said: "Didn't the lady say to return this bell to Qingyun Temple last time, it's been a while, is there any way to take it off. "

Du Tinglan was stunned: "This is the Qingyun Observation Tool? I thought it was a newly added jewelry."

Teng Yuyi said vaguely: "The last time I caught the corpse, I put this thing on my body as a warning, but I couldn't take it off for some reason, so I put it on me temporarily."

Du Tinglan didn't like to get to the bottom of it, so she nodded and stopped talking.

The two sisters changed into pajamas, one was holding a book and reading in front of the lamp, and the other ran to the small study next to it to give the little red horse a name.

A furnace of pear blossoms was lit under the window, and the quiet atmosphere slowly drifted away. The soft light of the horn lamp fell down, covering everything in the room with a light golden veil.

Chunrong and the others cleaned up the room and took incense cakes to scent Teng Yuyi's accessories. From the handkerchief to the shoes and socks, each piece was scented with roses. Teng Yuyi's belongings.

Du Tinglan looked up and said, "Chunrong, you can find out Ayu's embroidered handkerchief and give it to me. Guiyu said that she likes the embroidery stitches, so she asked me to borrow it.

Teng Yuyi just came back from the study, when she heard this, her footsteps stopped.

Chunrong smiled wryly: "The handkerchief has long been lost."

Du Tinglan was surprised: "My sister saw her using this handkerchief a few days ago, when did you lose it?"

"I lost it during the few days in Caifenglou. There were so many people in that place, I disappeared when I came back."

Teng Yuyi pretended to be calm and walked into the house. The handkerchief was first stained with saliva by her to wipe off the evil blood on Lin Chengyou's neck, and then Lin Chengyou took it away and bound the beak of the young man in golden clothes. It was probably thrown in Caifeng Tower at that time Somewhere in the corner, it has now turned into a pile of mud.

It's a pity to say that this handkerchief was sewn by a famous embroiderer in the south of the Yangtze River.

"There are so many handkerchiefs, and there are several similar stitches. You can just find one for Sister. Sister, I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed first." She was afraid that Du Tinglan would continue to ask, and yawned towards the bedside Walk.

Du Tinglan: "Have you chosen the name of your horse?"

Teng Yuyi has a serious face: "I'm dizzy now, and I can't think of a good name. It's my baby. It must not be sloppy. I plan to sleep well before drawing it."

Du Tinglan couldn't help laughing.

Teng Yuyi was just about to lie down when Biluo came in and said Cheng Bo was here.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly put on her outer clothes and went out of the house.

Du Tinglan read the book for a while, and vaguely heard someone talking outside, and didn't know what Cheng Bo wanted to report, and Teng Yuyi didn't come back for a long time.

She felt a little uneasy, she changed her clothes and went outside, when she raised her eyes, she saw Cheng Bo and Teng Yuyi standing around the round table talking.

There are several objects on the table, all of which are rare and full of brilliance.

"These are some of the best storehouses in the mansion. If the lady still doesn't like it, she can only wait for the old slave to search for it. But treasures are not easy to find, and the lady may not be able to wait. As Cheng Bo said, he turned his head and saw Du Tinglan, and hurriedly said, "Miss Du."

Du Tinglan approached: "Is this a gift?"

Teng Yuyi frowned and nodded, looking extremely dissatisfied with the things on the table.

Du Tinglan was very surprised, just the Seven Treasure Partridge Pillow is extraordinary, why is Ayu still worried? Suddenly remembering what my sister said yesterday, I suddenly realized: "Should I give a gift to the Chun'an County King?"

Cheng Bo said: "The gift for the King of Chun'an has been prepared. His Royal Highness likes to drink tea. His Royal Highness may not be willing to accept it as a farewell. The old slave has prepared several cans of freshly picked Lingxi high-quality tea. , and it will be sent to the Du Mansion tomorrow."

Du Tinglan was stunned. This time, it was Grandpa who came out to ask for bath soup from the King of Chun'an County. To thank the King of Chun'an County, of course, he could only ask Grandpa in a fake way.

She remembered that time, in order to thank Lin Chengyou for Liuyuan Dan, Grandpa specially prepared two generous gifts, one was sent to Qingyun Temple, and the other was sent to Chun'an County Prince's Mansion. After receiving grandpa, Lin Chengyou's side neither accepted the gift nor let grandpa in.

Grandpa is thin-skinned, and after bumping against the wall a few times, he is not ashamed to go to Qingyun Temple again.

She looked at the cans of tea leaves on the table, and nodded in admiration. Ayu's behavior was very different from that of Grandpa, either not giving them away, or giving them to people's hearts.

"The gift has been chosen, why worry about it?"

"There is still one person whose gift has not been selected."

"Who?"

"Become the son of the king."

Teng Yuyi did not dare to mention that Xiaoya finally used Lin Chengyou's bathing soup, but said: "If Lin Chengyou hadn't helped eliminate the demon in Caifenglou, my life would have been in the hands of the corpse. Last time, Grandpa asked Cheng Bo to prepare a generous gift to thank him personally, but it was delayed again in time for the national father’s birthday. Tonight, Cheng Bo prepared the things, but you know, sister, Lin Chengyou may not be able to appreciate ordinary things. .If it’s something practical, we don’t know what Lin Chengyou likes or dislikes.”

Teng Yuyi sighed.

Du Tinglan suddenly realized, no wonder she was muttering about giving gifts in the room yesterday, she was busy helping her sister to come up with an idea: "I can't go wrong if I want to give wine, why don't I send some Jiangnan famous tea that you brought from Yangzhou?"

Teng Yuyi shook her head: "The Shi Dongchun I usually drink is also available in the palace."

Du Tinglan thought about it for a while: "You want all of your sons in Jingzhong who don't like to play horses, why don't you give me some riding gear?"

Teng Yuyi's eyes brightened slightly: "Cheng Bo, is there a high-quality saddle in the mansion?"

Cheng Bo smiled wryly: "There are only two high-quality saddles in the mansion. One is inlaid with agate and gold jade. It is full of pearls and can only be used by women."

Teng Yuyi frowned: "It seems that I can only go to the horse's bridle to find it..."

Cheng Bo suddenly paused: "There is something that can be used, but it is more troublesome."

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan looked at each other: "How do you say that?"

Cheng Bo went to the warehouse to bring the things, and the two of them understood immediately. It was a large piece of rare purple jade, the color was like agate, reddish and shiny.

"It was rewarded by the sage when the master repelled Tubo. The master wanted to use it as a saddle, but he thought it was too extravagant, so he let the old slave put it in the warehouse, but he was never willing to use it."

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan circled the table in amazement, jade is a good jade, it is rare that its shape and size are suitable for making a saddle, and white jade is easy to get, but purple jade is rare, such a large piece is even rarer.

Teng Yuyi stopped and thought about it, and vaguely remembered that Lin Chengyou was riding a white horse, and the white horse was equipped with a purple jade saddle, which was considered unique.

"That's it!" Teng Yuyi made the final decision, "Go find a good craftsman and send it to me within three days. The purple jade itself is beautiful enough, and there is no need to add fancy coral agate."

Cheng Bo said with a smile: "Even the best craftsman takes ten days and a half months. I heard that the birthday of Prince Cheng is next month, so as long as you send it out before then, you will have time."

Teng Yuyi waved his hand: "This gift is just to repay the favor. Let's not join in the fun on Lin Chengyou's birthday. Cheng Bo, you go to the best craftsman in Chang'an tomorrow morning, and send the things as soon as possible."

After arranging the gift giving, the two sisters went back to their room to rest.

Sleeping until midnight, Teng Yuyi was suddenly awakened by a strange movement. She was so sleepy that she was trapped in the mattress and couldn't wake up. When she realized that it was the bell on her wrist, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Dingling, dingling..." The bells were lazily, and the collision was not fierce, but the experience of the last time had already been imprinted deep in Teng Yuyi's heart, so it woke her up all at once.

Her heart beat violently, Xuan Yinling would not warn for no reason, it seemed that something evil was coming, she lifted the curtain in a panic, the moonlight was cold outside the bedroom window, she looked no different from usual.

The bell rang again suddenly, Teng Yuyi turned her head to look in fear, and sister frowned slightly, as if she was about to be woken up by the ringing of the bell.

I don't know if this evil spirit came for her or sister, but based on past experience, it's probably for her.

Teng Yuyi quietly took out the Xiaoya sword from under the pillow, but fortunately the bell was not noisy, she comforted herself that it was not a big surprise, she had both Xiaoya and the talisman given to her by the refusal of Shengqizhi, maybe The opponent can be driven away quickly.

The blade of the sword was a little hot, obviously Xiao Ya also noticed it. Holding her breath, she crossed the bed, put on a cloak and stood by the bed to look around. The window screen was floating with faint stalks, and the night wind was clearly not weak, but the courtyard seemed to be covered with a curtain, and no movement could be heard.

Could it be that that thing has a lot of background? Teng Yuyi hesitated, and suddenly felt that the bell in her palm was rolling more and more fiercely, and she was about to be unable to cover it. She gritted her teeth, walked to the door and opened it, and shuddered as soon as she went out. It was as cold as winter.

Her chest rumbled wildly, regretting that she only wore a thin cloak on her body, while holding the sword and concentrating on identifying the scene in the court, she raised her voice to call out.

At this moment, a strong smell of blood poured into the wind, and a young figure ran quickly past the railing. Before Teng Yuyi could see what it was, the black figure slammed into her.

Teng Yu stabbed forward in a hurry, and the thing disappeared in an instant. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another sound of messy footsteps beside her. She turned her head to look, and gasped in fright.

***

Lin Chengyou stayed in the palace until evening before coming out, Chun'an County King and Crown Prince accompanied Lin Chengyou.

The three of them walked out of the palace chatting and laughing, and met Gu Xian outside the Jianfu Gate. Gu Xian was about to return to the guest house of Honglu Temple with a group of followers.

Gu Xian heard that the three of them were going back to Prince Cheng's mansion, so he said: "The old ministers of Nanzhao Kingdom came to Beijing to send tribute, and brought me some fine wine by the way. How about the wine in Nanzhao Kingdom?"

The prince said: "Excellent."

The king of Chun'an County opened his mouth: "It's getting late, your Honglu Temple is too far away, why don't you go to the Ada Mansion to make a fuss."

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "I can't wish for it. I'm the only one in my house. I'm panicking because I think it's deserted, so let's go."

When a group of people passed by Dali Temple, Lin Chengyou got off his horse.

The three looked at him immediately: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going in to inquire about a case, Uncle Huang, you go home first, I'll come later."

Lin Chengyou remembered the story Chen Erniang told, so he went inside.

It was Yan Sizhi who was on duty that night, and he was a little surprised when he saw Lin Chengyou: "Lin Pingshi came so late?"

Lin Chengyou talked about the strange case in Tongzhou.

Yan Sizhi was taken aback: "I haven't heard of it. Prince, where did you hear about this case?"

Lin Chengyou was a little puzzled, could it be that the young lady of the Chen family remembered it wrong?

He looked up at the bookshelf, on which were the case files handed over by various prefectures. Usually, only the mysterious cases that could not be solved locally would be submitted to Dali Temple.

Perhaps the incident occurred in a different state.

"Are there any cases of pregnant women dying in other states recently?" Lin Chengyou's eyes wandered from side to side.

Yan Sizhi shook his head: "I have transcribed all the suspicious cases submitted from various places in the past three months, and I have never seen such a strange case. Lin Pingshi, although it is cruel to have a caesarean section, if the victim is only the couple, it is considered It’s not a big case, and the local state government may not be able to submit it because it’s afraid of getting a reputation of ‘official incompetence’.”

Lin Chengyou took down a file casually, thought for a while and closed the file, and said with a smile: "Forget it, maybe it's just spreading rumors, I'll go to the inn where people from the same state live to inquire later. I won't disturb Brother Yan's work tonight , go first."

As he spoke, he left the Dali Temple and called Kuan Nu to him: "I asked you to verify Hu Jizhen's whereabouts before the accident. Have you verified them in the past few days?"

Kuan Nu handed the whip to Lin Chengyou, and replied very neatly: "On March 20, the Imperial College was not in school, and Hu Jizhen went out when he was in Mao. He and three friends rushed to the Temple of Mercy to enjoy the peach blossoms. At noon The vegetarian meal used in the temple.

"When we came out of the temple, it was already the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, and Hu Jizhen was still walking with three friends. The four of them parted ways until they reached Liquanfang. It was about the end of the Wei Dynasty. Across the street, Hu Jizhen was riding a horse again. If he went straight back to the mansion, he would be able to get home in less than a stick of incense. But it was the end of Shenshi when Hu Jizhen returned to Hu's mansion, and he fell ill as soon as he returned to the mansion, and he has been there ever since. Unconscious."

Lin Chengyou said: "I already know this. I never broke up with my three friends at Shimo, and when Shen Shimo came home, Hu Jizhen was missing for two full hours. I want you to ask if Hu Jizhen recently mentioned that he wanted to find him." Lu Zhaoan, do you understand everything?"

"The servants of the Hu family have never heard the young master mention Lu Zhaoan, but those friends have heard it a few times. That time, when Jinshi announced the list, Mr. Hu discussed Lu Zhaoan's poems with his friends, and they praised Lu Zhaoan very much. Hui also said that he was going to pay homage to Lu Jinshi. But then suddenly he stopped mentioning it. Occasionally, he met Lu Zhaoan in some poems, and Mr. Hu never came forward to pay respects. Friends still felt strange, because Hu Jizhen was the most modest and stable, so Faux pas are rare."

Lin Chengyou smiled sarcastically, Hu Ji is really a straightforward person, once he feels disgusted, he can no longer act respectful.

He opened his mouth and said: "Lu Zhaoan is currently renting an old house in Puningfang. Ningfang is only one street away, and there are many people at the banquet. If Lu Zhaoan leaves halfway to meet Hu Jizhen, he will be back soon. You have been following Lu Zhaoan these days, so it can be seen that he left the British government during the banquet?"

Kuannu: "That day we kept people at the front and back doors of the British government's mansion, but the British prince developed some strange problems in his early marches and wars. He dug a lot of secret doors in the garden for people to come in and out, and the guests had to hide their eyes and ears. It’s not a difficult task. Unless you wrap up the outside of the British government, you can’t keep an eye on every corner. The little people are afraid of being noticed by the people of the British government, so—”

"So you don't know?"

Kuan Nu hurriedly said: "There are servants in the British government who specialize in guarding the secret door. As long as someone opens the secret door, it can't be hidden from the British government. The little one has already gone to the British government. I will have news tomorrow. Already."

Lin Chengyou got on his horse and said, "It's not too bad."

Kuan Nu has a serious face: "Young Master, you came to see Mr. Hu. Did he go against evil or was he poisoned? From my point of view, he seems to be scared to death."

Lin Chengyou frowned and said: "If you lose one soul and one soul, even if you wake up, you will become an idiot."

Kuan Nu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that the same as Mrs. An Guo who was haunted by a tree demon?"

Mrs. An Guogong was possessed by the tree demon for too long, she couldn't survive, and I don't know what the prince thought of to save her life. I was so stunned that I didn't even know the people closest to me. Even so, An Guogong was also ecstatic.

This time Mr. Hu is only fourteen years old. He heard that his homework is excellent. It would be embarrassing if he became an idiot.

Lin Chengyou thinks persistently on the reins.

Because of Mrs. An Guogong's loss of sanity, there are still many mysteries in the case of the tree demon. If Hu Jizhen can't wake up, this matter can't be investigated further. The two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the way the clues are interrupted is too similar.

"That's right, my son." Kuan Nu said again, "I found out, the other group of people who followed Lu Zhaoan were people from the Teng Mansion. The stewards of the Teng Mansion are very skilled. Shang has nothing to do with the Teng Mansion, so even we couldn't confirm the origin of those people at the beginning."

Lin Chengyou was not surprised at all. Teng Yuyi and his aunt's family had a deep relationship. It would be a ghost if Teng Yuyi didn't take action against Lu Zhaoan when Lu Zhaoan treated the Du family's wife like that.

"Got it, leave her alone, just stare at her if you like."

Kuan Nu was stunned: "This——"

Aren't you afraid that the people in the Teng Mansion will affect their work?

Lin Chengyou has already changed the subject: "What happened to E Ji these days?"

Kuan Nu said: "Since the closure of Caifeng Tower, Eji has moved to an old house in Beiqu, and all the prostitutes under her command have been redeemed. She has nothing to do, and these days are quite leisurely." , either to visit those old sisters, or take a donkey to wander around Renyazi in the West Market, and every time I see a beautiful bearded girl, I always go up to ask the price, as if I want to buy some girls to resume my old business."

Lin Chengyou smiled, and it sounded like there was no flaw.

"Has she found someone else?"

"No."

Lin Chengyou nodded: "Don't take it lightly, this woman may not be as simple as she looks, so keep an eye on her, and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes."

***

Wang Cheng's mansion heard that the prince and others were coming to eat, and they had already set out rich and clean dishes.

Lin Chengyou sat down and drank a glass of wine, Gu Xian asked Lin Chengyou: "I was just about to ask you, what happened to that horse today?"

Lin Chengyou knowingly asked: "What horse?"

Gu Xian: "I don't know about other horses, but I've seen that red flame horse. This horse is rebellious, how can it show favor to a strange little lady I just met?"

Lin Chengyou: "I'm also curious, why don't you find a chance to ask it another day?"

Gu Xian: "Let me guess, did you identify something for it? The horse likes that object, so it suddenly recognizes the owner."

Lin Chengyou smiled: "Where can I get something, besides, these two horses were gifted by my aunt, can I help them recognize their owners?"

The prince is a kind man, so he hurriedly helped out: "Gu Xian, this time I'm going to help Ah Da with a word. These two horses are rare and good horses. The rewards are not the same. Besides, Ah Da and that These little ladies have never met each other, so how can they play tricks."

The king of Chun'an County just smiled and said nothing.

Gu Xian said embarrassingly: "I was reckless. Offending the prince is a small matter, but offending those young ladies is a big matter. I will punish myself first."

Lin Chengyou said, "Wait a minute", and asked people to bring the biggest wine glass: "Is this just to be perfunctory? If you want to punish, punish this." Of course Gu Xian refused to drink, how could Lin Chengyou give up. The two were in full swing, and someone came from the palace.

The queen sent a lot of treasures from mountains and seas.

"They are all new tributes from all over the world. The saint and the empress said that the son is alone in the mansion, so it is inevitable that he will not care about food, so he specially picked the best ones and sent them to the mansion, so that the mansion can take care of the son's life carefully. Three meals a day, the sage also warned: No matter how busy the Dali Temple is, it must eat less and skip food." The palace official said in a soft voice.

Lin Chengyou responded with a smile.

The old palace man said: "His Highness asked the son to send the snow lotus pill to the palace earlier, and she wants to keep it for the Li family's wife."

Lin Chengyou was taken aback, and almost forgot about it. If he hadn't helped Teng Yuyi get the little red horse last night, he wouldn't need to add another bottle of Saussurea Pill. This thing is still locked in the master's treasure chest, it seems that I have to pick the lock again.

"My nephew knows."

The old palace man rushed to the king of Chun'an County and said: "The sage said that His Royal Highness's handwriting is the best in the world. Now that the academy has a new name, I would like to ask His Royal Highness to write the inscription on the plaque. If His Highness is free tomorrow, you can return it." Please enter the palace."

When the king of Chun'an got up, he should say: "Please rest assured, Brother Huang."

The palace man said to the prince again in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty has something to ask His Highness, so that His Highness can return to the palace earlier."

The prince smiled wryly and said, "Understood."

Lin Chengyou and others felt that the crown prince looked a little strange, so they heard the palace man say: "His Royal Highness has something to pass on to the crown prince: 'As soon as I came back from Le Dao Villa, my aunt has something to ask you while it's hot: Do you want to ask me?" When I grow up, I met so many young ladies in Happy Mountain Villa, do you have any favorites? If you have any favorites, please tell your uncles and aunts earlier."

This time it was the prince's and others' turn to hold back their laughter. Lin Chengyou was stunned, and then smiled: "Why did my aunt suddenly ask this, can I not say it?"

The palace people smiled: "His Royal Highness is still waiting for the servant to reply."

"No."

Palace man: "Is there none?"

Lin Chengyou is categorical: "Not one."

The palace man sighed, bowed and retreated.

After the palace servants left, there was a moment of silence on the table. Lin Chengyou met the gazes of the three and wondered, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Xian coughed: "This time in Yusuchuan, although I was busy picking famous horses, I heard people say that this birthday banquet is really full of young ladies with both talents and looks, even our Nanzhao Kingdom The old ministers couldn't help but write a few sour poems like 'The beauty of Zhong Ling is all in the present', my son, are you really not in love?"

Lin Chengyou said: "If I really like someone, do I need to hide it? But you, after asking about this again tonight, you must have fallen in love with someone? Tell me generously, and I can ask my aunt to help you talk about it." dear."

Gu Xian almost choked out of his drink, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I can't say no to you. I advise you not to be too crazy, sooner or later you will have a little lady you like, I would like to see what kind The little lady will make you docile."

Lin Chengyou poured a glass of wine for Gu Xian: "You don't have to wait and see, I can tell you right now, obedience? It's impossible in this life."

The crown prince and Chun'an County King secretly sighed, Ah Da was hit by Gu when he was young, and he has been haunted by Gu poison since he said this tonight, in addition to joking, it also means self-deprecating. To put it bluntly, the elders are so concerned about Ah. The big marriage is more concerned about his illness, everyone secretly hopes that the poison of Gu will be alleviated, and Ah Da will meet his favorite lady one day.

Otherwise, with Ah Da's temperament, he would rather die alone than marry a woman he doesn't like and go home.

Drinking wine lasted until midnight, and when the banquet was over, all four of them were drunk. Lin Chengyou sent the prince and others away, and returned to the room to prepare hot water for bathing. Take a look at the fabric, the wound has almost healed.

When he lay down on the bed, he thought that the Hu medicine Teng Yuyi had given him was really useful, and for the sake of the medicine, it was not in vain for him to put in all his efforts to help her get that little red horse.

Now the two of them are completely torn apart, as long as she returns the string of Xuanyin bells, they will have nothing to do with each other in the future.

He closed his eyes and opened them again after a while.

If Teng Yuyi hadn't secretly reminded her that night, Du Tinglan probably wouldn't have thought of the name "Xiangxiang".

Did Teng Yuyi's intelligence originate from her parents?

I heard that Teng Yuyi's mother died when she was five years old. Who taught her how to read and write?

Suddenly it occurred to her that the horse was not easy to tame. Teng Yuyi had ridden a horse when she was in Yangzhou. She only knew that the horse was beautiful, but she had thought about how to tame it.

Heh, it's none of his business, the big deal is to fall a few more times, with her wild nature, she can always think of a way anyway.

He closed his eyes again and soon fell asleep.

Sleeping until midnight, he was awakened suddenly by a knock on the door.

"Shizi——"

It is the voice of a pan slave.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chengyou was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

"There is a house in Jinchengfang that is haunted by ghosts, and I want to invite my son to come and get rid of the ghosts."

"Jinchengfang?" Lin Chengyou had issued an order before that as long as someone came to ask for help at night, the people below were not allowed to stop him. "What house, why did you find me?"

"It's a nunnery. The abbot has driven it away for several days, but the ghost has been haunting the nunnery. The nuns had no choice but to come to ask the prince for advice."

Looks like it's just a little ghost, Lin Chengyou closed his eyes and said: "Jinchengfang is next to Dongming Temple, why come all the way to find me?"

"I don't know."

"Let them find the five ways of Dongming Temple."

"But——"

Lin Chengyou casually took out a gold ingot and threw it out: "It's so noisy. Give this to Wu Dao and let them go. If it's not enough, just add more."

The gold ingot came out of the window, Kuan Nu didn't dare to say any more, he said hello, and walked away with the gold ingot lightly.

Lin Chengyou turned over and fell asleep again in a blink of an eye. He was woken up again after a while, and he frowned.

However, his consciousness soon told him that the noisy movement came from the Yingling Stone in the front of his pajamas, and that thing started to make a noise like a bell, and the sound was urgent and fierce.

His heart skipped a beat, he jumped out of the bed without even thinking about it, grabbed his coat casually, and ran out while tying the jade belt.

Running outside, I suddenly felt cold feet, stood at the door and lowered my head, only to see that my feet were still bare, so I had to run back to the bed to put on my boots.

Running out, he stopped before the steps outside the house. He looked up at the deep vault, pulled out the silver chain, and jumped onto the eaves.
