Thirty whips, Huo Xiao lay down for half a month before he could barely move.During this period, many people came to condolences, and most of their words were accusations of the Ninth Prince's lewdness and cruelty.

It would be fine if he was nostalgic for the romantic place before, after all, most of the princes in the capital also had some hobbies, but this time Zhou Huaiyan humiliated the general guarding the frontier for the sake of a lowly foreign slave.

This nature is different.There were even a few ministers who wrote a letter to complain about the incident, causing a lot of trouble in the city.

"My lord, these are the list of people who came to visit me. Your Highness is really smart, and there are indeed some problems with the people in it."

In the study, Huo Xiao put the envelope on the table with a hesitant look on his face.

"It's just that alien slave..."

"Look at this first."

Duke Wei took out a stack of papers from the box.Huo Xiao took it over, looking at ten lines at a glance.

"Jiangnan Yun's family...?"

There were many large rivers and well-developed waterways in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. The Yun family in the south of the Yangtze River operated shipping for generations, and almost controlled the waterways of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Back then, the prostitute daughter of the Yun family went to the northern border due to business, and encountered a foreign invasion on the way. When she escaped from the snowfield, she was pregnant and was about to give birth. Later, she gave birth to a baby boy with green eyes in a farmer's home in the northern border.

Huo Xiao was shocked,

"The foreign slave is actually a direct descendant of the Yun family. If so... Does His Highness know about this?"

"Otherwise, do you really think that he is so fascinated by those eyes that he can't find his way?"

Duke Wei snorted softly,

"That kid looks dull and stupid, but he is actually as smart as a fox. He even dared to lie to the people around the old man."

After all, he glanced meaningfully at He Jin, the silent butler next to him. The latter just bowed his head respectfully and didn't answer, which was regarded as tacit consent.

Duke Wei asked He Jin to check A Fei's life experience, but the latter sent the result to Zhou Huaiyan immediately.

Duke Wei later found out, but he didn't expose it.As a prince, it's better to be more thoughtful, if Zhou Huaiyan really wants to step on him to ascend to the throne.

Jiang Yi is also willing.

Throughout the ages, if one wants to fight for the position of supreme, one needs soldiers, and the other needs money.With the strength of the Yun family, they can not only control the line of troops, but also own the wealth of the country.

This move is very well played.

Now that the identities have been checked, Duke Wei doesn't want to discuss this matter any more.

"Have you checked out the changes in the northern border?"

Huo Xiao knelt down on one knee,

"My subordinates are ashamed. We only found out that people who colluded with other races were hiding in the army. The specific people have not been identified, but the people in the army can't reach the capital. The participants in this assassination may not be less than four places."

【Quartet...】

Duke Wei's eyes darkened slightly. On the bright side, it was the royal family of Yanzhou and the foreign race, plus the hidden people in the army. There was only one left. Who else would there be?

"--White Horse Temple?"

At the same time, Zhou Huaiyan also received news from Jin Cui.Red Dou served a pot of hot milk tea and replied respectfully,

"Yes, once the Wang family fell, there were many more people in Yanzhou. The White Horse Temple began to give lectures on Buddhism. There were a lot of people in the temple, and many officials also went."

"Bullshit."

Zhou Huaiyan sneered.He tapped the table lightly, lost in thought,

"I remember that the White Horse Temple seems to have become famous in the year that King Jing rebelled?"

"Yes, 20 years ago, King Jing rebelled and raised troops. The White Horse Temple was not afraid of rebels, and saved many people. Since then, it has been named a national temple.

Red Dou said carefully,

"Now that decades have passed, almost every state city has a White Horse Temple."

Even the Min'an Pavilion was inscribed by Master Jian Kong from the White Horse Temple.

Zhou Huaiyan instinctively grasped something,

"It's a bit tricky here, go check the White Horse Temple."

"It's already being done."

That's about it, Zhou Huaiyan closed the miscellaneous books in his hand and put them aside,

"Where's Ah Fei?"

"At Min'an Pavilion, I'll have dinner right away, I guess I should be back soon."

Zhou Huaiyan supported his side face with one hand, playing with the emerald beads on his waist boredly,

"Hongdou, why do you think he suddenly wants to study medicine?"

"Ah Fei has no special skills. If he wants to stay with His Highness, he will naturally want to learn something useful to His Highness."

The big maid knelt beside the boy, massaging the meridian of his calf.Zhou Huaiyan couldn't help squinting his eyes,

"There are many imperial physicians around me, and there is no shortage of him. On the contrary, my uncle said that Ah Fei's bones are very good, and maybe he is more suitable for martial arts."

The grand lady paused, raised her head,

"Your Highness, do you want him to join the army?"

Zhou Huaiyan nodded slightly,

"Had this idea."

【Had.....】

That is now gone.Red Dou frowned hesitantly,

"Your Highness wants to send Ah Fei to the Yun family..."

The boy interrupted her leisurely,

"Why did I ever say that I wanted Ah Fei to go back to Yun's house? Back then, Yun Moli died tragically in the Northern Territory as a legitimate daughter. Do you think she didn't want to go back?"

This era is extremely harsh on women's chastity, and her death is probably caused by the Yun family's own hands in order to erase the stain.

As for the young A Fei entering the slave camp, perhaps it was the only way Yun Moli could think of to protect his parents and children.

Hong Dou was touched by him, and suddenly realized, she frowned,

"If Ah Fei can't bring the Yun Family under His Highness's command, then he is useless. Why does Your Highness keep him?"

Zhou Huaiyan casually took a sip of the hot milk tea, the sweet aroma of milk and oolong tea spread between his lips and tongue,

"Naturally..."

He couldn't help squinting his eyes in satisfaction, and murmured like a raving

"His Highness likes it."

It didn't make sense, he was simply obsessed with those blue eyes that were as beautiful as top-grade emeralds.

The day Ah Fei's identity was found out, Zhou Huaiyan made a decision. Since there was no danger, it would be fine to keep the kitten by his side.

That's why at that time, the boy said to Ah Fei that since he didn't want to leave, he should stay by his side.

"What did your Highness say?"

Zhou Huaiyan's tone was so soft that even Hongdou, who was kneeling beside him, couldn't hear clearly.

not to mention-

Ah Fei stood outside the door and listened to the whole process.

Today he was going to have dinner with his master. He came back after reading the medical book early, but he didn't expect to hear the conversation between the boy and Hong Dou.

It turned out that his mother was the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, and she was humiliated by a foreign race to give birth to a filthy person like him.

And the master kept him by his side because of the power of the Yun family.But now, I am a useless move, useless to the master.

The medical skills he worked hard to practice were useless, because the master said that he had many imperial doctors.

What's more, getting along these days has made Ah Fei understand that Zhou Huaiyan is not greedy for beauty at all, let alone someone who is addicted to lust.So the master is not interested in his body at all.

A useless slave will be thrown away.

This is the iron law among aliens.

Ah Fei's face was pale, and he couldn't help but hugged his arms, trembling with fear.

He has to... make himself useful to his master...

it works......

"—Do you want to practice martial arts?"

During dinner, Zhou Huaiyan heard the kitten's cautious request.

"Aren't you following Li Tai's medical skills? Why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts?"

"Because... because Ah Fei wants to protect the master when encountering danger."

Ever since he confirmed that he is now a bookboy, Zhou Huaiyan forbade him to call himself a slave.

Ah Fei lowered her head and almost buried her face in the bowl.It was obviously the truth, but when he said it, he wanted to cry.

Zhou Huaiyan didn't notice the change in the kitten's mood, but felt that practicing martial arts was very hard, and his uncle said that Ah Fei had a good foundation, and he was a person close to him. It is not impossible to train the dead.

Zhou Huaiyan thought, since Ah Fei is just a book boy staying by his side, there is no need to work so hard.

"Hongdou martial arts is very good, and I have many guards when I travel, so I don't need you to go..."

【--unnecessary】

The master himself said that he is not needed...

pat.

Crystal clear teardrops hit the table and shattered everywhere.The kitten knelt on the ground, clutching the hem of his clothes, weeping silently and trembling.

"A Fei?"

Zhou Huaiyan was stunned, stretched out his hand, and felt a hot spot in his palm.

"Master...please."

The soft voice was full of tears.

Ah Fei followed the boy's hand and raised her face, her blue eyes were filled with tears, like the moment before the emerald was about to shatter.

【It's so beautiful...】

The boy looked at him blankly.

Being watched like this, Zhou Huaiyan felt a wonderful burning sensation.

"What are you crying for?"

He stroked Ah Fei's crimson and hot eyes, and sighed softly,

"My Highness agrees with you."
