Su curtain has a cover

Although Su Mu was a little surprised at the time that Xia Houzhe's subordinates had an affair with Anbu, he quickly accepted it.After all, this is not a legal society.

During the investigation of Mrs. Yue and Li Songhe, the person who killed Yang Yuanhua was tracked down.

Somewhat unexpectedly, that person turned out to be Beiliang's spy planted in Dayuan, and he was the kind who had been hiding deeply for some years.

If he hadn't shown his feet this time, no one would have thought that the most useful staff in the Ninth Prince's mansion would be people from Beiliang.

Jia Jiu saluted Su Mu: "Young master, what should we do next?"

Su Mu flipped through various news sources, pondered for a while, and said, "Don't touch him, so as not to startle the snake. Can you be sure that he is from that department in Beiliang?"

Jiajiu shook his head: "I can't be sure yet, but my subordinates guess that it's probably the Yege tribe."

"Ye Ge?" Su Mu thought for a while: "Didn't they just change their new king? The spy has been here for so long..."

Jiajiu nodded: "It's precisely because of the new king, their power changes, and they can't take care of these dark people for a short time. The person we tracked down should be quite high-ranking, and recently there have been panicked offline people looking for him. We followed the clues, and this is how we found them so quickly."

Su Mu nodded: "You are right. The Yege tribe is the weakest of the three tribes in Beiliang. This change of power is not considered peaceful. The other two tribes are staring at each other. King Yegexin should be in a state of desperation right now."

Jiajiu felt a little regretful: "Actually, this is an opportunity for us to counterattack, but it's a pity..."

Su Mu chuckled, how could he not know.Although the three tribes of Beiliang have the same origin, they have always been at odds with each other, and each has the ambition to annex each other.

Now that the weakest Yege tribe is in turmoil, if Dayuan has someone to provoke it, it may push the other two tribes into trouble.

When they get into a mess, Dayuan will move his troops north again, and there is a great possibility that he will be able to regain Yanbei in one fell swoop.

Xia Houzhe has been training troops outside the city recently, perhaps because of this idea.

But just like what Jiajiu said was a pity, it's a pity that the current ruler of Dayuan doesn't have this idea at all.

Emperor Zhaohe went to court every day in a drowsy state, without saying anything, but the blue and black under his eyes became more and more serious day by day.

After some inquiring, I found out that the music in Concubine Li's palace continued all night long the day before yesterday.

And the ministers in the DPRK either revolved around the promotion of official positions and the division of interests, or they held that whoever did not respect the etiquette and did not follow the ancestral precepts.When you encounter a big event, you will either push it or try to throw it to the opponent.

In the snowstorm in Huxiang, 3 people were either killed or injured, and when the report was made to the court, it turned out to be [-] casualties.

The second prince fought in Kinki, sweeping up bandits everywhere.With the news of his military exploits, prices in Yecheng skyrocketed.

In the complicated waterway and land transportation, there are now [-]% fewer freight and merchants than usual.

Now that the New Year's Eve is approaching, everyone is full of praises.

But under the peacefulness of these songs and dances, Su Mu saw countless surging undercurrents.

"That, son." Jiajiu hummed, showing a little discomfort rarely.

Su Mu raised his head and saw his appearance, and said with a little amusement, "What's the matter, what do you want to say."

"My lord, this year the Eldest Princess...is there still a gift?"

"Eldest Princess?" Su Mu repeated: "A new year's gift? How was it in previous years, so it's okay to continue this year."

Jiajiu is in a dilemma: "Our manor sends gifts to Wanzhu Mountain every year. But... those gifts have never entered the Baoen Temple. In the past, the master personally arranged it, but this year, the master has not mentioned it..."

"Is it because the eldest princess doesn't accept it herself?"

Facing Su Mu's eyes, Jia Jiu acquiesced.

Su Mu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and the eldest princess refused to accept it, but Xia Houzhe still prepared it himself every year.

Although he knew that there might be something hidden in it, Su Mu still couldn't help complaining.

"Why did the eldest princess...do this?" Su Mu raised his hand and signaled: "Including before Xiahou knelt at the gate of the mountain, but she ignored it. Xiaojiu, I heard that since the eldest princess entered the Baoen Temple, she has I haven't seen Xiahou again. After all these years, is she really ignoring her own son?"

Jia Jiu's eyebrows twitched together: "The eldest princess is the mistress of the subordinates. My son, it's not good for the subordinates to discuss."

Su Mu sighed: "I understand. Just wait, I'll ask Xiahou later, and I'll give you the answer tomorrow."

Jiajiu burst into tears of gratitude, quickly agreed and withdrew.

The warm pavilion is as warm as spring, and a few white plums are placed in porcelain vases on the desk.The snow is melting outside the house, and the sound of dripping water falls along the eaves.

Looking at the still green pine and cypress in the courtyard, Su Mu suddenly remembered Xia Houzhe's words, and he didn't know how old the tree was when he followed his father down the tree.

At that time, the little Xia Houzhe definitely didn't know that he had been with him for more than ten years, and there was only this tree.

Looking away, Su Mu made up his mind.He didn't think it was good to meddle in other people's family affairs before, so he didn't delve into the past of Xiahou Mansion.

But now he felt that it would be impossible not to get to the bottom of it, otherwise he wouldn't know why the princess's attitude and behavior were so strange.There are even some contradictions.

If she said she didn't care about Xia Houzhe, but she broke the rule of more than ten years to meet him.If she cared, her behavior was cruel and merciless.

Could it be that she was coerced?Perhaps there was only one person in the entire Dayuan who threatened her, and that was Emperor Showa.

But this still doesn't make sense, because Xia Houzhe would never let his mother be coerced by others.Even the emperor, he would never tolerate it.

Su Mu held the pen and couldn't figure it out. He scribbled on the white paper casually, and outlined a portrait with a few strokes.

"Tsk."

After finishing the painting, Su Mu realized that he had actually drawn Xia Houzhe.He was inexplicably ashamed, and when the ink dried, he folded the painting, then got up and went to the bookshelf, trying to find a book that he didn't use often and clip it up.

Most of the books on the bookshelf belonged to Xia Houzhe, and Su Mu usually handles matters or writes manuscripts here.

Xia Houzhe also moved all the things he used to use in the study, as long as he returned to the mansion, it was always right to come here to find him.

Su Mu took out a few copies at random, but found that they were all approved by Xia Houzhe, and there were traces of frequent flipping in the corners.

He had no choice but to squat down and look for corners and corners. After searching for a while, he settled on the bottommost book of Tongjian.

He grabbed the book and pulled it out.

didn't move...

Su Mu coughed and increased his strength.However, it still didn't move.

"Hey." Su Mu was not convinced. He looked at the room and sat down on the floor, holding the book in one hand and resting his foot on the bookshelf below.

I tried hard, but didn't move.Try harder...

"Om-"

The masonry rubbed against the ground, making a muffled sound.Su Mu felt the bookshelf in front of him suddenly move, and he was startled and quickly let go of the book and stepped back.

The bookshelf turned upside down in front of him, revealing a darkened entrance.

Su Mu opened his mouth slightly, and after a while, he let out an ooh.He didn't expect that there would be a secret room in this warm pavilion.Moreover, he was discovered by such a coincidence.

This bookshelf is divided into three parts, and the entrance to the secret room is in the center.Su behind the scenes sat on the ground with his back, staring blankly at the slightly dark place.

...to go in or not to go in.

The answer is obvious, of course it is to go in!He just wanted to know some secrets, and found the secret room.This is simply falling asleep and meeting the pillow, it can't be too coincidental.

So almost without any hesitation, Su Mu patted his clothes, lit a candle and entered the door as soon as he regained consciousness.

The passage is built downwards, and the two sides are very narrow, almost only enough for one person to walk.Su Mu lifted the candle high and moved it down carefully.

He suddenly remembered that he complained that the third prince liked to build basements before, but now, it is obvious that repairing secret rooms is common to everyone.

The passage was not long, and soon entered a small house.

Candles gradually illuminated the entire space, and Su Mu found it very simple, just a circle of shelves along the wall, with files scattered scattered on it.

The candle's light was very stable, and Su Mu first simply swept it around.It can be seen that the owner is very caring. There are notes on each grid here, with some metaphors written on them.

Seeing the familiar handwriting, Su Mu snorted.

After walking a few steps one after another, he guessed and roughly understood what the paper referred to.

Su Mu stopped in one place, looking at the right and left, wondering which one is better to look at first.

After hesitating for a moment, he abandoned the imperial one and picked up Xia Houling's.Su Mu carefully untied the tied rope and spread out the file, but the first sentence at the beginning shocked him.

"Xia Houling, a native of Xinjiang, whose birth date is unknown, died in the third year of Showa. Cause of death: Chunban. Poisoner: Princess Duanhui."

Su Mu: "!"

"Snapped."

The scroll fell from Su Mu's hand to the ground, and without a sound, a hand picked it up.

"shocked?"

Su Mu looked at the person who appeared suddenly, and said expressionlessly: "Yes, I was scared by you."

Xia Houzhe smiled apologetically, his face was normal under the candlelight: "I should call you first."

Su Mu's gaze shifted to his hand, and Xia Houzhe held up the file: "This is the news I just confirmed last month."

"Chunban, isn't it the poison of the Beiliang royal family?"

After learning about the name Chun Ban from Xiahou Zana, Su Mu went to investigate it.

Chunban is not difficult to find, and it can even be said to be very famous.Because the Beiliang royal family is very dedicated, they especially love this poison when they poison it.

Tourists do not return home after spring half, and those who have been hit by spring half will gradually become weak, and as the dose increases, all internal organs will be necrotic.In the end, he could only watch himself die.

There are at least seven or eight kings and queens who died under this medicine in Beiliang.

And Bei Liang hated Xia Houling to the core, so it was quite understandable to poison him.

And even if it wasn't Beiliang, it shouldn't be...it shouldn't be Princess Duanhui...

The song Su Muzhe by the two of them has been sung until now.Even in Xia Houzhe's narration not long ago, Su Mu could find that the friendship between them was true and deep.

"It's the poison of the Beiliang royal family, but it's not too difficult to get it. I use it just to mislead others. At least, I was misled once."

Xia Houzhe was very calm: "Father is very vigilant when he is called a soldier. Moreover, he was born in Xinjiang and has a special ability to distinguish poisons. Outsiders can't poison them at all."

"Chunban, mother puts it in the lotus seed soup with her own hands, and brings it over every day."

"I once took a sip while they weren't paying attention, and my father sent me to Yao Yuanzheng to give me medicine without telling my mother, and told me not to tell anyone afterwards."

"Father, he drank the poison voluntarily."
