East China Sea, Prince Yuanjin's Mansion.

The sky was lonely, and sea eagles were flying across it. The letters bundled into a small roll were unfolded by Kang Youkui. The first line of black words on the white paper was so frightening that the blood almost flowed from her body.

At this moment, she was accompanying Ming Zhidu as usual, sitting and chatting with him outside the hairpin purple hall.

The young man in the black robe sitting opposite saw her solemn expression, and the fingers holding the paper tightened. He knew the content of the letter in his heart. However, his face was calm, and he only moved his eyes towards the flower clusters in the courtyard, telling the truth. : "It must have been sent from the three northeastern cities."

He usually asks questions in a declarative tone, slowly and affectionately, and his deep and gentle voice is like fine wine, addicted to teasing.

Kang Youkui lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and replied thoughtfully: "Your Highness, why don't you see for yourself?"

There were some words that she really didn't dare to say again.

Ming Zhidu waved his hands indifferently, understanding the hidden meaning of her words, and said with relief: "You have read it, why should I read it again? It is enough for you to tell me. Is it possible that you are afraid that I will not believe what you repeat? , think you are telling nonsense?" He raised his eyes when he asked, a smile rising from the corner of his eyes, but it could not hide the dark pool under his eyes.

Kang Youkui felt that those eyes were going to suck in his wealth and life.

"Your Majesty, you are too worried. I will tell you what I am doing." She apologized and said, "The master of the Wen family arrived at Fangshan and found no trace of Hongyinghou. By chance, she followed a river in Beiliao. He Dan and the young man searched all the way to Ningcheng. Lord Hongying had been rescued by the people sent by the master of Nanxia to the medicine pavilion of the little saint master Shangtianjian. However, the master of the Wen family not only did not take action, but also served as a scapegoat for Hongyinghou. I cured the poison...

In addition, the delivery team had completed the transportation of raw materials, but when the last team of carriages and horses left the city, they collided with the Yin family's carriage. "

"Did Yin Luo intervene?" Ming Zhidu raised a smile, looking at the excitement as if it was not too big a deal: "If she intervenes, things will become a lot more interesting."

Kang Youkui obviously didn't expect him to speak like this. She swallowed and vaccinated Ming Zhidu: "It would be nothing if we knew it was her who did it. That night, our detective, who was hiding in the dark, watched secretly. Then several men in black sneaked into Bao's forest farm. The next day, someone handed a letter to the guard guarding Bao's private residence. The letter said..."

"What?" Ming Zhidu stopped smiling.

Kang Youkui gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "The cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by the lackeys. The evil purple seizes the red subordinates and commits crimes. The king will definitely be punished by heaven."

"Ha." Ming Zhidu lowered his eyes, and the interest in the corners of his mouth rose again, even more intense than before, "Evil purple and seizing vermillion? Will you be punished by heaven? She didn't even think about how much conflict she had with Emperor Chongwen. Do you still have a few words for me?"

There seemed to be a clear direction in his words, Kang Youkui frowned, "Do you know who sent that letter?"

On the way to the Ming Dynasty, I smiled and said nothing. Kang Youkui thought that he didn't want to reveal too much to her. She looked away knowingly and continued to repeat the last sentence of the letter: "Dali Temple has taken away the books that record Yin Miao's traces in the three cities in the northeast. The Xu family's envoy to the capital, swears an oath We must thoroughly investigate the massacre of the Yin family."

"Let her investigate." Ming Zhidu answered quickly, still looking indifferent, "I also want to see how capable Xu Sanjin's daughter is. The case that Emperor Chongwen closed under pressure , what can she find out? Besides, Meng Zaishi stayed in the three northeastern cities for more than a month, I don’t believe it, there are any clues that he has not cleared up. "

"What the prince said is true," Kang Youkui replied with a smile, "but I heard that the master of the family has been cheating on you, what should you do about it?"

"Isn't the poison she gave you yet to be cured?" Mingzhidu looked at her, "At least I won't kill her until I find the antidote for you. When she comes back, I will pretend that I don't know what she did and continue. Please serve me respectfully. The medicine given to Minghe by the one in the palace was not strong enough. Soon, the people from the Imperial Hospital will definitely cure him. By then, Wen Ting'er's skills will still be useful."

Ming Zhidu was still thinking about himself. Kang Youkui felt a warm feeling in his heart. She softened her expression and raised her hand to pour wine for Ming Zhidu, "I still remember that this pot of wine is the flower dew brewed by bandits in Dongshan last year. It was specially brought here. I respect you, but you keep it and don't drink it. Why did you send me to Kaifeng today?"

Ming Zhidu lowered his eyes and took it, "The wind here is stronger in the autumn, and my body is getting tired." He raised his head and looked at the broken branches of the tall trees in the distance. The wind picked up the flying leaves and drew an unknown chapter in the mid-air. silhouette, sorrow free.

"I am still deeply uneasy. If the letter that reached Bao Yuan's house was sent by Yin Luo and others, or was written by the master of Nanxia, ​​wouldn't it be very detrimental to us?" Kang Youkui raised his eyebrows and said, With a worried look on her face, she thought she was only thinking about King Yuanjin, so she expressed all the doubts in her heart: "Although Emperor Chongwen fell ill, he is not dead after all. I am worried that someone will tip him off, which will affect you." big plan."

"It's okay," Ming Zhidu reached out and patted the back of Kang Youkui's delicate hand twice to reassure her.

He was so gentle, dignified and noble by nature, but this action seemed like a joke to others, but he didn't show any signs of it. Just like comforting oneself, transcending identity and gender, like the water in the East China Sea when the tide is not rising, with shallow ripples, although it is turbulent in the dark.

"Youkui, I know that you are attentive, but they are not the ones who delivered the letter to Bao He."

Ming Zhidu took a sip of wine, and the mild and spicy jade liquid spread in his mouth, with the sweetness of flowers and honey, swaying between his lips and teeth, and his voice was like mellow wine, flowing into Kang Youkui's ears: "Ten Six years ago, there was a female official in Daliang. She was the concubine of the Chang family of Bianzhou aristocrats. Her name was Chang Yinglian. Her official position was from the fifth rank to deputy envoy of the Shangshu. She did a humble and cold job, but she did it neatly and brightly. That At that time, I had not received the decree to come to this East China Sea, and I had heard a lot of rumors about her in Shangjing. It is said that she disguised herself as a man to participate in the Bianzhou imperial examination, and passed the exam all the way to Shangjing as if she had passed five tests and killed six generals. A female stream, She was actually the top candidate in the imperial examination eighteen years ago. She was valued by Yin Jielin because of her superb literary skills, and she was promoted and recommended. She followed the old minister and was able to enter the palace to participate in political affairs."

"Female officer?" Kang Youkui's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, Daliang was founded a hundred years ago, and the country lasted for five generations. She is the only woman who has stepped into the political hall." Ming Zhidu was rarely serious. When he talked about Chang Yinglian, he actually showed more respect than when he talked about Minghe. I wonder if Kang Youkui got it wrong.

"Does Emperor Chongwen know that she is a woman?"

"I didn't know it at first, but when I found out later, Chang Yinglian had resigned and returned home a long time ago." Ming Zhidu's eyes were mixed with regret, "Ming He is a waste, and he doesn't know how to cherish the raw jade in front of him. Do you know, The reform of the imperial examination system in Daliang sixteen years ago?"
