Royal business

He asked, "Master Special Envoy, are you feeling unwell?"

Zisen's face darkened, "You are not feeling well, your whole family is not feeling well!"

The little soldier touched his nose and left in embarrassment. He just couldn't understand how wise and powerful his general was, how could he send such a person as a special envoy!

At this time, Fan Youye was taking Sequoia and Bao Jian to Leiting County. Originally, the three of them could leave after seeing off Su Maozhi's team, but Liu Wu, the treasurer of the Wangzhou site, insisted that he inspect the Wangzhou site. Work.

After Fan Youye made a series of rectifications for him and spent money to expand the store, Liu Wu finally let him go.Before leaving, Fan Youye patted Liu Wu on the shoulder, "Sure enough, you have the potential to be a businessman. I like you!"

It is already the beginning of May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Fan Youye is worried about the comfort of those people in the compound, and is anxious to rush to Thunder Town, but his physical strength is really limited.

The carriage finally stopped with Fan Youye's permission. Fan Youye sat in the shade of a tree, squinted his eyes and looked at the huge sun above his head, and asked Sequoia next to him, "Sequoia, what do you think if Su Maozhi knew what was written in the letter?" Will you be angry if you say something?"

Of course Sequoia wouldn't answer what he said, just looked at him and smiled, still innocent and harmless, and leaned over to rub against Fan Youye's body, and was finally pushed away by Fan Youye's palm.

Fan Youye turned around and asked Bao Jian on the other side, "Jian, you are more sensible, do you think Su Maozhi will be angry?"

The corner of Bao Ji'an's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Sequoia. Could it be that he just 'comparatively' understands the truth?Adjusted his clothes, "I don't know what you wrote in that letter, how do you know that Su Maozhi is not angry?"

Fan Youye felt that the weather was hot, and his brain became dull, he smiled, "That's right, let me tell you."

Cleared his throat, "What I wrote on it was 'Mu Tiezhen, I have already sent you Su Maozhi, and you can handle the rest by yourself. Also, the military rations owed to you will be paid when I have more money." I'll give it back to you.' or something like that, that's pretty much what it means." Looking at Bao Jian with a serious face, he waited for the other party's reaction.

Bao Ji'an only knew that Mu Tiezhen was the emperor of Yan Kingdom, but he didn't know what kind of person he was. Hearing Fan Youye's words, he had some clues about the things between the few people, and his face turned black immediately. I regret that I didn't go with you back then, I don't know what happened to Youli...

Fan Youye looked at his face and sneered, "You'd better not regret it, otherwise you will be the next one to be unlucky."

38

38. March [-]th crisis, lurking...

Fan Youye looked at his face and sneered, "You'd better not regret it, otherwise you will be the next one to be unlucky."

"What do you mean?" Bao Jian frowned.

"What is your identity?" Fan Youye asked without answering.

"..."

"Your Li described to me the situation when you met at the beginning, and you did not overthrow it, that is to say, what You Li said at the beginning was true, but the time and place of your appearance were too coincidental, and You Li did not doubt you. , that’s because he’s young and innocent, and if I’m like him, I’d be stupid.”

"Hehe, you are a few years older than him." Turning to look at Fan Youye, "Do you think I have malicious intentions?"

"I don't know, I think you can find a reason for me not to doubt you and let me believe you, Bao Jian, I don't know if this is your real name or what your identity is, but I can see that you As for your feelings for You Li, I have no intention of interfering with your affairs until now."

"Because I think your nature is still good, at least when the temple was destroyed, your first reaction was to protect Xiaoli from harm." Sighed, "I thought you would always protect him, but now you choose It wasn't him, since it wasn't why, and you could have parted ways with us before, why did you keep following me, what's your purpose?"

Fan Youye's tone was up and down, neither fast nor slow, neither arrogant nor impatient, it didn't look like a question, but rather like a discussion of poetry.

However, sometimes the more this happens, the easier it is to have a sense of oppression.

"As expected of the leader of the firm, you are very transparent."

"Answer question."

Bao Jian smiled bitterly, and looked up at the green hills in the distance, "I don't want to, and I won't hurt You Li, whether you believe it or not, I will say that, from the first time I saw him. You You are right, the time and place where I appeared are very coincidental, because I did it on purpose, because he needed me at that time, even if it is exposed, I have no choice."

Bao Jian stood up from under the tree, patted the dirt on his hands, and looked at Fan Youye from top to bottom.

"What is your identity? What do you mean by exposure?"

"Because they know the whereabouts of the queen mother."

Fan Youye just wanted to ask, 'Who is your queen mother? Fortunately, the mouth was a little far away from the brain nerves, and I pursed my lips, trying to make myself look calm, "Are you a royal family?"

"It used to be." Bao Jian's tone was light and fluffy, as if he couldn't grasp it.

Fan Youye knows that the current emperor Huo De has two queens. The first queen was named Dexin, and she died 18 years ago. There are still rumors among the people that King Rui Huo Sishu was born to the former queen, but King Rui Her title has always been hereditary. Could it be that the former Queen had an affair with the former King Rui, but now that both of them are dead, no one knows the truth.

A country cannot be without a mother for a day, Empress Dexing is Cheng Shuanghua's older sister Cheng Yangxue, who was sealed shortly thereafter.

Fan Youye looked at the young man in front of him, absolutely not. Could it be that he is the son of the current empress?But Zhao Xie had told him before that the current empress only gave birth to one son, that is, the present prince Huo Yan, so there are only three possibilities now:

First: Bao Jian is the prince Huo Yan.

Second: Cheng Yangxue and the emperor have more than one son.

Third: Bao Jian is simply lying.

Now the entire Zhucheng is occupied by Huo Sishu's army, even the emperor has gone to Longxiao Valley to seek the protection of the Black Dragon Army, it is not impossible for the prince to live among the people, according to the current situation, the first option is the most likely.

"What is the former royal family? Why do you want to find your mother? Shouldn't the queen and the prince stay in the palace?" Fan Youye frowned, and there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, which also gathered together with his action at this time .

"Maybe I'm asking too much, but I really want to know, and, lastly, what do you use to prove your identity?"

Bao Ji'an smiled, and took out a jade pendant, "This is something from the Eastern Palace, only the prince can carry it." He said and threw it to Fan Youye, "You will know if it is true or not."

"I don't understand jade, and I don't know what it is." Fan Youye held the jade in his hand to look at it, and said half-heartedly.

"Aren't you Fan Zhuxuan's nephew?!" Bao Jian's tone couldn't be said to be surprised.

"Indeed, but this kind of thing doesn't mean that I should understand it just because I'm his nephew." Fan Youye excused himself brazenly with an expression of 'you're short-sighted'.

"That's true, but I have no other choice now, believe it or not, it's up to you." Bao Jian was free and easy.

"Go on, if it's reliable, I'll trust you for now." Fan Youye nodded sincerely.

Sequoia also leaned over from one side, and seemed to be watching the two talking lively. Fan Youye patted his head casually, and Sequoia began to rub his palms.

Looking at the two of them, Bao Jian laughed a little: "You are such a strange person, sometimes you are thoughtful like a teenager, and sometimes you are innocent like a child."

Fan Youye looked at him, "This doesn't hinder you from talking, does it?"

Bao Jian was deflated, "I can now answer your question about the queen and the prince."

Fan Youye listened intently.

"The folk rumors about Rui Wang Huo Sishu are not completely false. The previous queen Dexin did not die suddenly for no reason."

"make it clear."

"You don't understand the temper of the current emperor, or my father. His attachment to the throne has surpassed everything. As long as there is something that threatens his throne, no matter whether it is a person, thing or thing, he will do nothing. Remove without mercy."

"Huo Sishu, Empress Dexin 18 years ago, Empress Mother and I 18 years later, we are all his threats."

"Isn't he your father?"

"There is no father-son relationship in the palace."

"You mean the emperor drives you out of the palace, and then he can sit firmly in the country?"

"It's not driving out of the palace, it's killing them all." Bao Jian looked at Fan Youye with surprisingly cold eyes.

"Okay, okay." Fan Youye really didn't want to waste too many brain cells on the matter of the old emperor, but now he has some bad feelings out of thin air. According to what Bao Jian said, the emperor is a curse. Whoever gets close to him is unlucky.

"What do these things you said have anything to do with your deliberately approaching my second uncle and the others? You just mentioned your mother."

"To be specific, it's not related to Youli, but to your third uncle Fan Zhuxuan."

"Third Uncle?" Fan Youye felt that he had suddenly become dull today, and looked at him puzzled.

"As I said before, Fan Zhuxuan understands jade, and it's not a general understanding. It's the kind that is naturally sensitive to love, and I just want to use Fan Zhuxuan's ability to find the queen mother. The one in your hand The piece of jade and the one in my mother's hand both came from the same piece of jade, and it was between
