Ning Huan didn't know what Mu Jinyu would write in the letter. He thought it was about some matters in the mansion. Chu He was originally Mu Jinyu's person, and they didn't have too many secrets between them. Chu He opened the letter in front of him.

But there was nothing written in the letter, only a particularly bright peach blossom was drawn.The novelty of the paint is dark red.Ning Huan stroked it with his finger, thinking that it should be some kind of blood.

Mu Jinyu probably killed someone and stained the peach blossom with human blood.

He looked at it over and over again, this peach blossom is beautiful in shape, just beautiful, there is no other secret.

Ning Huan said to Chu He: "Is this some kind of code? What does a branch of peach blossom mean?"

Chu He was a little surprised: "Don't the Empress Dowager know this allusion?"

"Huh?" Ning Huan was puzzled, "What story?"

Chu Hedao: "There was a very talented son in the previous dynasty. This son was named Tao Hua. Tao Hua came from a noble and arrogant family. Unfortunately, his father was framed by treacherous officials, and his parents died overnight. In the restaurant, people called him Little Peach Blossom. Later, the treacherous official fell in love with Tao Hua at first sight. Tao Hua saw that he was an enemy, so he refused to accept him. In order to show his love for Tao Hua, the treacherous minister forced Tao Hua to buy him home and cut his wrists every day. I painted a peach blossom with my own blood and showed it to the young master, until my body lost too much blood and gradually weakened and died."

Ning Huan narrowed his eyes: "..."

What a mess, even such a strange story would not appear in the script he read.

Chu He was a little puzzled, this story should be known to everyone, why the princess hadn't heard of it.He thought about it for a while, the princess looked at her family's strict upbringing and good character, probably the servants in the family were very strict and wouldn't tell him these romantic things.

Worried that Ning Huan would not understand, Chu He added a few more words: "The story of this treacherous minister and Xiao Taohua has been passed down. Many people think that the treacherous minister is very infatuated and feel sorry for him. Later, many infatuated sons followed him, If you like someone, dip your blood and draw a peach blossom and give it to the person you like. The subordinates think that this peach blossom should be painted by the prince with his own blood to express his thoughts and love for you."

Ning Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "How many people paint peach blossoms with blood?"

"Not many, most of them are faked with cinnabar," Chu He muttered in his heart, how painful it would be to make a cut on his body to take blood, "But His Royal Highness is definitely not a fake."——Because His Royal Highness has a tendency to self-harm, and has never Not afraid of pain.

Ning Huan was silent for a while, and said after a long time: "You step back."

Mu Jinyu's thoughts are not difficult to guess. Ning Huan is a bit flamboyant in women's clothes. Before the prince left, he showed physical desire to him. After staying in the crowd of stinky men for so long, he must miss the life in the prince's mansion , perhaps also regarded him as a good person in the prince's mansion, and had some ambiguous feelings for him.

But this feeling is definitely not reciprocated.

Mu Jinyu's concubines in the storybook are basically women, and he has no interest in men.From Ning Huan's point of view, Mu Jinyu's sudden affection was as fragile and thin as a light mist, which would be dispersed by a small wind.As time goes by, newcomers appear one after another, and Mu Jinyu's attention will soon be diverted.

Ning Huan's fingers tapped on the table, he thought that within two or three months, Mu Jinyu would forget that he painted peach blossoms with blood.Two or three months may be too far away, let's do some calculations - during this time, Mu Jinyu will accidentally rescue a woman in distress and take this woman as a concubine.

Ning Huan also prepared a pen and ink.

......

"Flowers drift by themselves and water flows by itself. One kind of lovesickness, two places of worry." Mu Jinyu looked at Ning Huan's back painting, and couldn't help but read a sentence.

Axi rubbed his eyes. He doesn't know much about these scholars. If Axi was asked to look at this painting, the first thing he would think of would be "Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless", not "a kind of lovesickness, There are two places to worry about."

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in high spirits, and it was not easy for Axi to make sarcastic remarks beside him.

Axi nodded again and again: "What you said is true. By the way, Your Highness, the woman rescued by a cavalry two days ago, are you going to—"

Mu Jinyu thought about it for a while before he remembered this slacker: "If you don't put her in the city, why are you still raising her? When you are on patrol, take her to a place where there are people and throw her away. Don't hold her back in the barracks."

This woman was good-looking, and her background was very clean. She was the daughter of a merchant. Unfortunately, her family met people from the Fontaine tribe and was robbed and killed. She escaped by chance and was rescued by patrolling cavalry.

Many generals in the army are ready to move. After traveling for so many days, they miss women very much.But the crown prince was made a general, and he was the undisputed commander in the barracks. This woman should also be enjoyed by the prince.

Ah Xi originally planned to send the woman to Mu Jinyu's camp tonight to calm his anger.There are also camp prostitutes at the border. The camp prostitutes are filled in by the family members of officials who have committed serious crimes. Most soldiers will go to these places.Ah Xi has never seen the prince before, he thinks the prince may like to be clean, and the prostitutes in the camp are more or less prone to illness, this merchant girl is innocent and beautiful, so she is suitable to be around.

As a result, Mu Jinyu had no interest at all, and didn't even bother to look at people.Axi had no choice but to ask the patrolling general to arrange for the woman to be released in the village or market.

Besides this painting, Ning Huan also talked about what he did in the capital during this time.Mu Jinyu carefully read the letter sent with the painting again.

Ning Huan did have some tricks, and Ning Huan had caused quite a storm in the capital.

Huimin Pharmacy is affiliated to the Tai Hospital and is a subordinate department of the Tai Hospital. It was established to save the world and the people to save ordinary people. Some prisoners in the prison are sick and are treated by Huimin Pharmacy.They naturally have no shortage of medicinal materials, including a large number of medicinal materials, one of which is drug.Furong is still a rare thing in the capital, and it was not widely planted in the Daluo Dynasty.

The highest official of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau is named Wei Jing. Wei Jing is the younger brother of Wei Su, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital. He was able to get this fat job because of Wei Su's arrangement.

In recent years, Wei Su has been repeatedly promoted by the emperor. Not only was he promoted to be an envoy of the Imperial Hospital, he also held an official position in the Ministry of Rites, which can be said to be extremely prestigious.

The whereabouts of the drug in the herbal medicine library was the imperial hospital, and it fell into the hands of Wei Su, who was the imperial physician who could purify the drug.Wei Jing also learned the method of purifying Afurong from Wei Su. He took the Afurong from Huimin Pharmacy to the pharmacy with which he had a close relationship, and sold the purified Afurong at a high price to some rich people. Inexpensive merchants, one or two merchants became addicted to it. Last year, their families broke up, their wives were scattered, and they hanged themselves.

These merchants can't compete with the pharmacy backed by Huimin Pharmacy, and they don't know that overdose of drugs is a harmful thing, and they didn't make much noise after they died in a daze.

Ning Huan made a wake-up call about the destruction of one of the merchants' homes and the loss of their fields and houses. The storytellers in several big restaurants collected a little money and told the story to everyone.

Unfortunately, recently there was another person who was also addicted to drugs. This person was not an ordinary merchant. He liked to hang out with some cronies on weekdays, and accidentally got addicted to drugs.This person has some connection with Ning Huan, it is Ning Huan's second sister's fiancé Tian He, the one that Ning Huan got into the water at the beginning.Tian He paid several thousand taels of silver to go in, but now he has no money, and his addiction has relapsed, making the family restless.

Although the Tian family is not conspicuous in the court, they can still say something.Tian's father saw that his son-in-law had been turned into a ghost and was dying. At first he didn't know what caused Tian He. Later, there was a lot of news about the drug in Beijing, and several friends around Tian He also did the same. Painful, Tian's father guessed the whole truth, knowing that Tian He was killed by drugs.In a fit of anger, he went up to the emperor and asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly in the early court.

Several officials who have always been upright also stepped forward——Huimin Pharmacy Bureau was originally set up to help the common people. If it really colluded with the pharmacy and used poison to obtain the property of ordinary merchants, as the rumors in the capital say, wouldn't it be a success? The department that killed people?

This seriously affected the majesty of the court.

A censor said to the emperor: "I request a thorough investigation of this matter. If the investigation is not clear, the common people will all think that the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau and the drug store officials have colluded with people's lives, and the imperial court's majesty will be demolished!"

The Minister of Tobu also stood up: "If Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau and the Tai Hospital are innocent, these storytellers are spreading rumors behind their backs to gain attention, and it is better to investigate the matter strictly to make the Tai Hospital innocent and punish these storytellers." people!"

Tian Daren said: "Afurong Dan is addictive and insane, and the dog suffers from it. I don't know who made this kind of thing to harm the people. I think this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and the thieves who made Afulong Dan will be caught. Kill it. This kind of thing must not prevail in our Da Luo Dynasty."

Wushi San was popular in the previous dynasty, and many nobles were addicted to it, and the whole person became distraught and haggard. These people also regarded it as an elegant thing.After the establishment of the Daluo Dynasty, Wushi Powder was banned, and ordinary officials were forbidden to take it except for curing diseases.

Officials whispered: "Afurong is more addictive than Wushisan!"

"If everyone takes drugs, and all the men in Daluo are addicted to it and become depressed, won't the country offend us?"

Wei Su, the envoy of the imperial hospital, also served as the minister of rites, so he was naturally also in the court.He knew what his brother was doing.Hearing that these officials brought up the harm of drugs again, Wei Su felt disturbed and couldn't help taking a peek at the emperor.

The emperor's face was covered by the crown, and it was impossible to see his expression clearly.

After a long time, the emperor suppressed his anger and said: "This matter involves the face of the imperial court, so it must be thoroughly investigated! Those who fan the flames and spread the news must also be found out. Lu Wei, you are in charge of thoroughly investigating this matter!"

A civil official stood up: "The humble minister accepts the order."

This matter caused a great disturbance, even though the harem should not be involved in political affairs, they heard about it.For a while, the palace ladies and eunuchs also had discussions.

Ning Huan didn't react too much when he heard the direction of this matter, everything was within his expectation.The court envoy Wei Su and his younger brother Wei Jing will definitely not be able to keep them. Wei Jing's use of power for personal gain will definitely anger the emperor. How much the emperor trusted Wei Su in the past, and now he hates these brothers so much, he can't wait to tear them into pieces.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Chu He: "The emperor will not let go of those who spread news among the people. He will definitely trace the source of the story told by the storyteller. Have you dealt with it?"

Chu Hedao: "It's dealt with, they are very strict with their mouths. And this is what actually happened. The storyteller is not talking about the court in vain. Even if the emperor sends someone to investigate, the source of the final investigation must be caused by A Furong. A friend or neighbor of a suffering master whose family has been ruined. The imperial court will not kill these scholars to cause controversy, let alone kill ordinary people."

Ning Huan nodded: "OK."

He made himself a cup of tea, the aroma of the green tea wafted through the warm pavilion, and the aroma of the tea was tangy.

Today Ning Huan was wearing a simple white robe, only the cuffs and neckline had silver moiré patterns, and his black hair was loosely tied behind him with a ribbon of the same color.

Chu He didn't know Ning Huan's real identity, he just felt that the Crown Princess was very strange. During this time, the Crown Prince was not in Beijing, and the clothes of the Crown Princess became more and more simple. At first glance, these clothes would be regarded as clothes worn by men up.

Mrs. Jingzhong likes to dress up, even at home, she would put on makeup, and Chu He never saw Ning Huan use any face powder or rouge on her lips.

After everything has been reported, Chu He also wants to retreat.At this time, Ning Huan suddenly said: "Do you know who are the prince's people in the imperial hospital?"

Chu He said honestly: "This subordinate does not know. The subordinate only knows a small part of everything about the prince, and it is impossible to know all of it."

Mu Jinyu was extremely suspicious, and even Ah Xi, who was by his side, was hanged with drugs by him.Although the other subordinates are confidantes, most of them only know part of his affairs, not all of them.

The only one who knows all of Mu Jinyu's secrets is the dead.

Zhao Yi is a good person and has good medical skills. She was invited to the Prince's Mansion last time to check her pulse.But whether Zhao Yi is Mu Jinyu's person is still uncertain, and he can't rashly push the other party to the position of the court envoy.

The envoy of the Imperial Hospital is very important, he is involved in the emperor's health.A suspicious person like the emperor must promote someone he can trust after Wei Su goes down.Moreover, it is impossible for Wei Su to be killed alone, and the close imperial physician will definitely be implicated.

During this period of time, Ning Huan had already gotten to know the Tai Hospital very well, and wrote down the names of several accomplices and court judges in the Tai Hospital who were likely to be in positions of authority. It might be Mu Jinyu's person, who thought for a long time and felt that what he just thought about was not feasible.

The Tai Hospital will definitely have to go through some cleaning. Ning Huan knows that this matter will not be resolved in a short while, so there is no rush.

After pondering for a moment, Ning Huan said to Chu He: "Pay close attention to which local famous doctors are suddenly promoted to Beijing during this period. You must tell me their names and where they live after entering Beijing."

All the imperial physicians in the capital may be involved in certain forces, and the emperor is also afraid of using other people’s pawns. If there is no imperial physician whom he trusts enough besides Wei Su, Ning Huan suspects that the emperor will directly promote him from among the clean and famous doctors who have just entered Beijing .

Chu He hadn't thought of this matter yet, but he already trusted the Crown Princess very much, so he immediately replied: "Yes."

Ning Huan spends his days idle on weekdays, he doesn't want to put in effort to do anything, he just wants to be alone.Drinking tea, admiring flowers, sleeping and reading books are all his favorite things in his life.The current situation cannot prevent him from being as lazy as before, and he will also go to the palace to do other things in the past two days.

He lazily raised his eyes: "Go out, I have to go into the palace to change clothes."
