eye-catching

"My lord, among the ten people sent, only Zhang Jiyao is alive."

The prince nodded and said, "Are you back?"

"came back."

General Shi ordered someone to bring Zhang Jiyu in, and that Zhang Jiyu immediately knelt down when he saw the prince.

"The grass people see the prince."

The prince only nodded, and said softly: "Since you are back, go find your brother and go back."

Zhang Jiyu raised his head and asked, "Where is my brother?"

Lin Xie beside him said, "Still in the capital."

After Zhang Jiyu left, the prince asked, "Did you see them?"

"I see." General Shi bowed his head and said, "They are a very kind group of people."

The prince nodded, seeming to understand.

Lin Xie beside him didn't understand what the two were talking about, who did they see?

He frowned slightly, looking at the jade pendant hanging beside the prince, thinking about something in his heart.

As soon as the prince came back yesterday, he ran to the house and found something inside, even Yuan Qi didn't answer his call outside.

What he could find was the jade pendant, because it was the first time the emperor gave him something, and he kept it as a treasure, even if it was useless, he kept it hidden in the box.

After searching for a while, he found the box covered with ink-colored bamboo shadows, opened it, and found a piece of lustrous and moist jade pendant lying quietly inside, with a knot that the man made for him was hanging on it.

He smiled, took it out, and hung it by his side.

When meeting General Shi today, the jade pendant was naturally by his side, but it did not escape Lin Xie's eyes.

Ben felt something was wrong when he heard the secret of the long knot, and now the webpage hangs it by his side, what is the meaning of this?Could it be that he still wants to show off the secret to unlocking the case?

It's impossible!

Thinking about the prince's state recently, Lin Xie was stunned.

Today he followed the prince back to the palace, and asked by his side: "My lord, why is Zhang Jiyu still alive?"

"Of course it's fate."

Lin Xie pondered over his words carefully, but couldn't comprehend the mystery.

It wasn't until he met Yuan Qi that he showed a little bit of energy.

The prince Gu Zi entered the room and didn't plan to talk to him anymore, Lin Xie was depressed, so he had to talk to Yuan Qi.

"The case..."

Lin Xie hesitated to speak, looked at Yuan Qi and sighed.

"What case?"

Yuan Qi didn't know that the prince had already had a showdown with Lin Xie.

"The case of the disappearance of ten people," Lin Xie said while drinking wine depressedly, "Didn't the prince recruit it himself?"

Yuan Qi looked puzzled and asked, "What did the prince recruit?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "Your Highness has already said it?"

"I said it," Lin Xie understood that Yuan Qi would have such a big reaction. If it was his master, he would be surprised.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Xie frowned and said, "What can I do, Dali Temple no longer intends to take care of this case, so naturally it will be dismissed."

Yuan Qi seemed relieved, nodded and said, "That's right, the emperor is gone."

Lin Xie didn't understand the meaning of his words, thought for a long time, and said: "My lord, why are you wearing that jade again?"

Yuan Qi didn't care too much, but said sadly: "Because the emperor gave him that."

"what……"

After hearing this, Lin Xie also fell silent.

No wonder……

Zhang Jiyao asked people all the way, and finally asked where his brother is now.

Previously there was a poster in the capital looking for Zhang Jiru, but now it’s hard not to know him, everyone saw this picture of Jiru’s younger brother, they only thought that they were really brothers, they were handsome.

It's just that Zhang Jiyu didn't know why his brother suddenly became famous in the capital, so he only found him in a steamed stuffed bun shop in the capital.

Zhang Jiru thought he would never see him again in this life, but when he saw him standing in front of him smiling, he was so startled that a ball of flour fell to the ground, and he murmured: "I must be dreaming!"

Zhang Jiyao was speechless for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Brother, it's me, Zhang Jiyao!"

Only then did Zhang Jiru come to his senses, he pulled him and said, "Pinch me."

Zhang Jiyu took the opportunity to pinch his waist, and didn't let go until he heard the man breathing in.

"You're back?!" Zhang Jiru ecstatically grabbed him, his eyes filled with tears.

"Yeah, I'm back."

Zhang Jiru has been inquiring about his whereabouts since he disappeared. At this time, Ben had given up, but he did not expect him to come back. The joy in his heart could not be expressed in words, but could only be expressed through his body. The two embraced tightly .

"where did you go?"

Zhang Jiyu led the people to talk slowly, but somehow his brother escaped again. Logically speaking, the two of them were taken away together at that time.

"I just took advantage of the gap to escape." Zhang Jiru sighed, "You have suffered a lot, haven't you?"

Zhang Jiyu promised them that he would not tell about Beixing Village, so he only said that he stayed in a place in the Western Region for a few months.

"I'm fine, but everyone in my company is dead."

Zhang Jiru sighed, "My lord has spent a lot of thought on investigating this matter."

"So, did you find out?"

Zhang Jiru shook his head and said: "Now that the late king is gone, no one will ask about the case."

"Can't the prince break it out?" Zhang Jiyao also sighed, "Then, no one can break it out."

The conversation between the two stopped abruptly because the boss came in.

After the boss left, Zhang Jiyu asked, "Are you going to make buns here all the time?"

"That's not true." Zhang Jiru looked at him and said, "I'll help you study. You have qualifications and you will definitely pass the exam."

Zhang Jiyao opened his mouth, but was unable to speak in the end.

A few days later, the two packed their bags and prepared to go back to Yangzhou.

Before leaving, the two wanted to see the prince, but the prince was not there that day, so they gave up.

The prince didn't stay in the palace for the past few days, Yuan Qi couldn't find him even if he tried to find him, and he was anxious. He didn't know what he would do, and he was always at ease. My heart has been unable to calm down.

After serving the prince for so many years, Yuan Qi already knew the prince's temperament very well, but he never thought about what the prince would become after leaving the emperor.

He didn't or didn't know what the prince went out to do, and it was boring to stay in the palace every day, so he wanted to have some fun for the prince, so he went down to catch fish for the prince.

But here, the prince asked someone to ask about the mountain villa in Ningzhou, but there was something wrong, and it was built a year ago, which cost a lot of money and manpower. The locals remembered that because it was the emperor's order, everyone thought It's the emperor's palace, but he didn't expect that this year, the emperor passed away, and the villa was built, but no one lived in it.

The prince went to Dali Temple.

The minister of Dali Temple was very surprised when he saw the prince, but he didn't know what he was here for, and said with a smile: "The prince is here..."

The prince only said indifferently: "It's about the case of ten people missing."

Dali Siqing was taken aback, didn't the prince already plan not to solve the case?Once the former king left, why did he come out again?

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "The prisoner is me."

After a moment of silence, Dali Siqing said with a chuckle, "My lord is joking."

"I'm not joking." The prince raised his head, with a smile on his lips, and said, "This king is the prisoner."

"This……"

Dali Siqing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and looked at the prince with wide eyes.

"How to deal with this king?"

As soon as the prince said this, the minister of Dali Temple finally knew what the prince was here for——

Isn't it just to embarrass him!

Dali Siqing didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything, he just stood there in a daze.

The prisoner is the prince, how is this possible!He is the receiver of this case!

Of course, Dali Siqing will not think that the prince is crazy and wants to surrender himself.

The prince only said: "If this case is to be announced, then this king is the criminal, you can just say so, don't worry about this king, you can deal with it as you want."

Dali Siqing was sweating profusely, stood where he was and responded, and only then came to his senses when he saw the man leave.

He dare not offend the prince!

Even though the previous king passed away, that person is still an important official of the court. Even the new emperor now has to call him uncle, how can he provoke him?

Hurry up and tidy up, pretend you haven't heard what the prince said just now.

After that, the prince went to find someone, and this person was Meng Moyun.

Resigning from office and returning to his hometown at the age of 40 is something only Meng Moyun can do. After the funeral of the late king, he knew that the prince would definitely come to him, so he lived in the capital and waited for him.

Sure enough, within a few days, the prince will let them find him.

Meng Moyun asked someone to receive the prince, welcomed him in, and said with a smile: "How is it going?"

He naturally knew what Meng Moyun meant by "how's it?", so he only replied, "It's fine."

"That's good." Meng Moyun raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm still worried that you won't be able to afford it."

Among all my friends, only this Meng Moyun dared to talk to the prince like this.

"That's not it."

The prince smiled and said, "I came to you just to see you."

"Don't frame me." Meng Moyun rolled his eyes and said, "I'm waiting here for you to see me?"

The prince lowered his eyebrows and smiled, as expected, nothing could be hidden from his eyes.

"Back then, what did the late king feed me?"

Meng Moyun laughed after hearing this, squinted his eyes and looked at him, and said, "You didn't ask me until now, you hid it deep enough."

"That's not true," the prince replied with a smile, "I know that you are behind it all."

Meng Moyun looked at him and sighed, "It's me, who is it for?"

"for me."

He said it without hesitation.

Meng Moyun glanced at him resentfully, and said slowly: "You can't blame me, you told me yourself when you were drunk, but I just found a chance to tell the late king."

He frowned, and suddenly remembered that after he reconciled with the emperor, he went back to the capital and had a drink with Meng Moyun, but he got drunk and asked someone to send him back. It should be at that time that he said it .

"It's so tragic, you said how much you like him, what else did you say, if you die, you have to take good care of him instead of yourself." Meng Moyun looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said, "I don't need to say who that person is Bar?"

The prince nodded and said, "And then?"

"Then I told the late king when I was looking for it. The late king was worried about you. He was looking for famous doctors everywhere. You didn't go to court, so naturally you don't know about these things."

When Meng Moyun said this, he obviously had helplessness in his eyes.

"After searching for a long time, I finally found a famous doctor who had treated King Ning before, and immediately called him into the palace, and asked about the prescription prescribed to King Ning at that time, and the result..."

Meng Moyun stopped abruptly, looking at him with complicated eyes.

"What's the result?"

There was anxiety in his eyes.

Meng Moyun bit his lip, sighed, and continued: "There is a kind of herb in the prescription, because it was impossible to find it at the time, so King Ning couldn't take it, and you should know that herb is called Koucao."

With a bang, the lord felt his eyes darkened, and he seemed to be unable to stand still. The sudden truth made him lose his way, and he was about to pass out.

He propped himself up and listened to him continue.

"At that time, the late king secretly sent a lot of people to the Western Regions to collect that kind of medicine. Some of them didn't come back, and then they sent people there, and blocked the news. No one knew about it, even I only found out later.

"Later, the late king found me and asked me to mix all the medicines into chestnut candy, and asked Shiyun to send someone to give it to you to eat. I gave you a lot at a time. I heard that the late king was with you often. Watch you eat it."

The prince didn't have time to accept so many truths in his mind, he only knew that during that time, he only thought that he was jealous when he saw Shi Yun giving him something, so he came to accompany him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that he had done so much for himself.

"Between Yuan Qi and you, the former king chose you."

Meng Moyun sighed, and said, "It was only after I heard you mention that Yuan Qi also needed that kind of medicine that I suddenly remembered it, because the king told me not to tell you anyway."

"Although I don't know how much the late king spent in finding that herbal medicine, I know that at least a thousand people were sent by the late king to the Western Regions to collect herbs."

The prince stared blankly at Meng Moyun, hesitant to speak.

"I've told you everything I know, what else do you want to know?"

Meng Moyun looked at him leisurely, wondering what expression he would put on. All along, this character who only showed smiling faces and impatience should have a different expression this time.

Sure enough, after seeing the loneliness in his eyes, he stood up.

"I'll go back first."

"My lord, let's go."

Meng Moyun stood up after him, only to find that his back was so lonely.

Arriving at the prince's mansion, Yuan Qi just went up to meet him, and saw the prince's two lines of tears hanging on his face, but he was still smiling.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Yuan Qi also panicked, not knowing what to do now.

"fine……"

He only responded and went straight to the inner hall.

Yuan Qi followed and saw him slumped on the rattan chair as soon as he entered the room.

No wonder I didn't die of illness in my thirties like my father did, and it is because of that person that I have lived until now.

He always thought that he had a great destiny, that's why he didn't go to see Hades.

But ah...

People who should have lived longer than themselves, but passed away earlier than themselves.

So ironic isn't it?

He really knows how to hide the medicine in chestnut candy, but he has never tasted it, why?Could it be because he was by his side that eating candy made her feel even sweeter?

He wiped his face with his sleeve, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Why can't I know these things until he is dead?I'm afraid I thought I knew it, and would take Yuan Qi into consideration and let him down.

Hidden so deep that even he, who is so smart, didn't find it.

He claimed to have a deep love for him, but his love seemed so small in front of him, even until he died, he never heard him say I love you.

He covered his face with his wide sleeves, Yuan Qi could only see the corners of his mouth curled up, but he didn't know that behind the sleeves, those eyes that couldn't stop the tears had lost all their brilliance at this moment.
