The six of them sat around the tea table, and Zi Sangyu asked Ye Chun, "Did you find out?"

Ye Chun's eyes sparkled, and he was a little excited. He said, "Shen Keran is the late emperor's man."

"What do you mean?" Zi Sangyu asked with eyes wide open.

Ye Chun swallowed a big mouthful of tea, moistened his throat and said:

"His father was the late emperor's tutor, and he had been the late emperor's companion since he was young.

When he was a little older, his father sent him to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and later sent him to a military camp for training.

The Grand Tutor wanted to train him to be a military general to assist the Emperor.

Since the late emperor ascended the throne, he has been a general guarding the border, so your Highness has never seen him. "

The four looked at each other in silence and great surprise.

"After the death of the previous emperor, he resigned from his official position and went into business, setting up camp in the Yandang Mountain area. His business involved a clinic, a restaurant, a grain store, etc."

"Clinic?" Zi Sangyu asked. He probably hadn't figured it out yet.

"Correct."

"Then why did he let the princess treat his son? And why did he even ask the princess to be his teacher?"

"His child had been ill for many years, and he had searched all over the city's Chinese medicine clinics and folk doctors, including his own clinic, but none of them could cure him.

Shen Keran learned from Doctor Wu that the princess was good at treating heart diseases, and after much hesitation, he brought his son to see the princess.

"Does he know who I am?"

"Then he must know."

"Why doesn't he visit then?"

Ye Chun took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, handed it to Zi Sangyu and said, "A secret letter from Master to you."

Zi Sangyu read the secret letter from his master carefully, then burned it. In silence.

Ye Chun continued, "Shen Keran is extremely wealthy and has numerous soldiers stationed there, most of whom are his former subordinates.

So he is low-key in his dealings with others.

The master said that he is silently watching you from afar. "

Zi Sangyu's tough face had sharp eagle eyes, and he had countless troops stationed there? His heart was no longer calm.

Liang Wanshu pondered for a while and said, "It seems that Shen Keran has been in Yandang Mountain for quite some time.

We have been to Yandang Mountain many times in the past few years to search for medicinal herbs.

How come we haven't heard of such a famous person? "

Ye Chun replied, “My master said that after he came to Yandang Mountain, he changed his name and kept a low profile, never hanging out with local officials or wealthy people.

All the businesses he runs in Yandangshan Town are not under his name, so few people know him. "

Master Ning also felt the depth of this man.

He said: "Brother Liang is right. With Chang'an as the center, there is no nobleman in the surrounding cities within 50 miles who we don't know.

This person is indeed calm and steady, worthy of being the one left by the previous emperor."

Because of Shen Keran, the topic turned to the late emperor, which is a heavy topic.

The four had been good friends since childhood. Each of them was very familiar with the late emperor and felt deeply his kindness.

The late emperor loved the prince, and also loved his good friend. Back then, the three of them followed Zi Sangyu, carefree, and enjoyed a wonderful childhood.

As the prince's son, Sang Yu studied in the Imperial Academy since childhood.

Three good friends were also around him. Zi Sangyu still remembered the old tutor clearly.

Bai Muchenqin recalled: "I never thought that the tutor who glared at us every day was Shen Keran's father.

I still remember the taste of his ruler. "

At this point, he pointed at the other three and continued, "Why was I the one who got the most punishment?"

Master Ning smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"I said, you have the most ideas.

Every time I skipped class, it was your idea, and every time I was caught by the tutor, I was the one who got beaten. What's going on?"

Liang Wanshu also laughed and said, "Because you are the dumbest and the most timid.

Once we are caught and see the master with the ruler, we should honestly tell him where we have been and what we have done. If you don't get beaten, who will? "

After hearing this, several people laughed, as if they were back in their childhood.

Zi Sangyu also recalled his childhood memories. He smiled, stretched out his long arm, touched Bai Mu's head and said:

“I remember that spring competition, the Grand Tutor didn’t give us a day off because he was afraid we would cause trouble.

So he came to my mother's bedroom early the next day, stood guard at the door, and escorted me to the Imperial College."

"Yes." Bai Mu continued, "We agreed the day before to skip classes together and meet at the stone lions in front of the Meridian Gate.

The three of us arrived early, but we couldn't wait for you."

Master Ning laughed loudly: "In the end, we saw you being escorted by the Grand Tutor and walking past us.

Luckily we hid behind the stone lions, and the Master was afraid that you would run away if he wasn’t paying attention, so he didn’t look away.”

Liang Wanshu also seemed to have returned to his childhood, no longer thinking more and talking less.

He interrupted the conversation and said, "We had no choice but to take a shortcut and run back to the school before you and the tutor, pretending to recite the lessons while shaking our heads."

Thinking of the funny things in their childhood, the four of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Bai Mu said with a smile: "I have escaped this time. I didn't get punished with a ruler. It's really rare."

Zi Sangyu is still reminiscing: “Taifu saw that we were absent-minded and looked like we had lost all desire to live.

He knew that he could capture our bodies but not our hearts, so he promised us that he would let us go once we had memorized what we had learned that day.

As he spoke, he reached out and tapped Bai Mu's forehead.

He smiled and said, "It's all because of you. You kept trying to recite it for a long time but couldn't. The more anxious I was to leave, the more you held me back..."

The laughter of "Hahaha" rang out again. Several people laughed and teased Bai Mu, whose face was red. They enjoyed it.

Liang Wanshu said: "There was another time when it was a close call."

As he said this, he smiled at Zi Sangyu and said, "It was you, right? That time, you knocked over the master's inkstone, and the ink spilled on a poem he had just written."

"It's me, it's me." Zi Sangyu also remembered the mischief that time:

"The Grand Tutor went to the bathroom, so we took the opportunity. Actually, I went up to the podium just to mess up the poem he had just written.

Unexpectedly, he tripped over the corner of the table and fell onto the podium, knocking over the inkstone.

The ink was all over the poem he had just written. It scared me."

Bai Mu pouted and said, "It's my bad luck again. I saw you on the podium and followed you. You knocked over the inkstone and splashed ink all over me..."

"Ahahahaha!" Zi Sangyu and everyone laughed.

It had been a long time since Zi Sangyu smiled like this.

He said to Bai Mu, "I'm sorry, Brother Mu, I made you get punished with a ruler again that time."

As he spoke, he bent over with laughter.

Bai Mu yelled at him, "Hey! You know you got me punished again! So many times 'again'."

"Yes...I'm sorry...Brother Mu...Zi Sangyu was laughing so hard that she fell backwards."

Mr. Ning said to Liang Wanshu, "Do you remember the cheating incident in the exam?"

"How could I not remember?" Liang Wanshu swallowed a mouthful of tea and his thoughts went back to the past...
