Nuo Min's face turned slightly red as she slowly left the carriage.
"Committing yourself to marry? Are you asking about the shame of the academy?" Nuo Min laughed disdainfully. Last night, the two people's information was completely placed on Nuomin's desk.
These two people are both very famous, one is very good and the other is very bad. But in Qiu Ruoruo's opinion, the extremely bad one is better than the excellent one.
For the first time, Nuomin couldn't tell whether the other party was joking or serious.
If she was serious, Qiu Ruoruo's words were too ridiculous.
"This is Da Chu's Kyoto, so act with caution!" Nuo Min said to Batu. The harsh words were enough to make Batu realize that Nuomin was really angry. "Before leaving Kyoto, you and Meng Si will stay well in Zizhu Villa."
The Military Department of the Five Cities was very busy, even busier than at the end of previous years. Not only was there a visit from the envoys, but there was also the huge trouble of the assassination of the prince of the Zhao family.
Qiu Yu returned to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division at midnight last night. Time was tight and the tasks were heavy. He always felt uneasy about not being in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
Seeing Qiu Ruoruo, Qiu Yu's face improved a lot, but when he saw the figure who walked in at the end, Qiu Yu's face became even more ugly than before.
Qiu Yu didn't want his daughter to mix with Yu Zhi. In his heart, the good girl was led astray by Yu Zhi. This idea came about since Yu Zhi took Qiu Ruoruo to skip school many years ago.
"Dad, do you have any clues?" Qiu Ruoruo asked.
After hearing Qiu Ruoruo's words, Qiu Yu knew that she had gone around Zhao Wang's Mansion but found nothing.
Qiu Yu sighed. He went there once yesterday and there was not even a clue. Since there were no clues, Qiu Yu started to investigate the relationship between various families. However, although King Zhao was an idle prince, he was still the younger brother of His Majesty. Firstly, there are no political differences, and secondly, with His Majesty’s protection, no one wants to touch Prince Zhao’s Mansion.
And the prince is a bit more promiscuous, so he will not attract such hatred.
The silence between father and daughter filled the room with silence.
"Don't you think it's a little too clean?"
Yu Zhi also followed around and walked around the entire Prince Zhao's Mansion but found no sign. He saw the rockery stones that had been beaten and smashed that night, and the wooden sticks thrown in the corner, but he found nothing related to Prince Zhao.
So clean. This assassin was like a ghost, no one saw him, and he left nothing behind.
Qiu Yu pondered for a moment, and then solemnly said: "It is indeed too clean." Qiu Yu has handled many cases and has seen many cunning murderers, but these people will always be close to each other, and even after a long investigation, they can find some. .
After working on cases for many years, Qiu Yu is not the kind of person with a delicate mind, but rather a bit rough. However, the eyesight he has accumulated is not comparable to that of Yu Zhi and others.
Yu Zhi knew that Qiu Ruoruo had the ability to know one corner and turn around three corners, so he just pointed it out.
"I haven't seen the Crown Prince today. I think there should be some clues about His Highness," Qiu Ruoruo said. "Dad, do you think there is any way to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion again? How can we call it a visit if we don't meet His Royal Highness?"
Qiu Yu seemed to have thought of something. If there really are no clues, then we have to start with the victim.
Although Yu Zhi intended to make some pointers, Qiu Yu still didn't give Yu Zhi a good look. A blind cat meets a dead mouse.
Qiu Yu took his troops to Prince Zhao's Mansion again, while Yu Zhi and others also returned to Qiu Mansion.
…
In the imperial city, His Majesty the Emperor of Dachu was sitting in the imperial study. There were many official documents on the table. He was holding a brush in his hand and reviewing them one after another.
The emperor of Da Chu was not so relaxed. After all, he was a hard worker who was busy dealing with the affairs of the world.
"What happened to Jinghong? Has the murderer been found?" The emperor stopped writing and asked suddenly.
Soon, someone outside the jade screen answered: "Commander Qiu has not reported yet."
The emperor was very angry. There is someone at the emperor's feet who dares to assassinate a nobleman of the royal family. He is extremely bold. The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Prefecture should be punished.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Today, the imperial hospital came to report that His Royal Highness is no longer in danger. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division and Shuntian Mansion will find out the truth and bring the assassin to justice." An Fuzhi entered the imperial city when he was a child. Among them, he has served two emperors one after another. Living to this age, he naturally knows what the emperor today is thinking.
After the emperor was silent for a moment, he said again: "Where is King Zhao? What is he doing?"
An Fuzhi continued: "Prince Zhao is in Prince Zhao's mansion. It is said that he has not been able to sleep well these days."
"Bullshit, there was an assassin in the house, and my son went to hell again, how can he sleep peacefully?"
When he was scolded, An Fuzhi knew that he had answered the question wrong, so he knelt down and did not dare to answer. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are not careful, you will make Long Yan furious.
"Get up. How are those people in the Prairie Wolf Court? After leaving them alone for the past few days, it's time to rein in the wild children on the grassland." When the emperor thought of the requests Nuo Min made in the main hall, he felt rude in his heart.
It is absolutely impossible to change the territory. There is also the issue of marriage, and there are many children on the knees. If the marriage can determine the war in the north, it will not be a bad idea.
However, the attitude of the mission was difficult for the emperor to accept. How can a huge country tolerate provocation from small border countries?
An Fuzhi found it funny when he thought about the rumors outside the imperial city these days, and chuckled: "Princess Nuomin rarely goes out. She seems to be in love with the tea ceremony and plays with it all day long."
"I'll send her some tea leaves and tea sets another day. If I keep her for a little longer, it's not a bad idea to stay in Kyoto from now on. Hahahaha."
"There's another thing, it's funny to say. A young man on the mission fell in love with a young lady from the Qiu family, and he went to pester her every day. As a result..."
"Oh?" The emperor seemed to be interested. I guess he was also a gossip. "Isn't Miss Qiu's girl like Ruoruo? That girl is well-behaved and has good etiquette. She shouldn't do anything extraordinary. Can you tell me, what's the result?"
An Fuzhi smiled bitterly and said, "As a result, that man came to visit every day and was beaten up in the end."
"Hahahaha, it might be Qiu Jinfeng's idea. When he was young, he guarded the north, and he was very dissatisfied with the grassland tribes in his heart. It's not surprising that others would attack him."
An Fuzhi said: "Your Majesty guessed wrong."
A surprised voice came from the royal study, "Is it possible to repay Ruoruo's hand?"
"Ye Qinghuan and Yu Zhi were angry, and then Ye Qinghuan took action. I heard that the scene was very tragic."
"No wonder, Ye Qinghuan is good. Perhaps only Bai Yu and Yan Qingyi can compare in Kyoto. But who is that Yu Zhi?" the emperor asked. He pays great attention to the younger generation, after all, they will be the mainstay of Da Chu in the future. The emperor would care more about people like Ye Qinghuan, Bai Yu and others.
Yu Zhi?
The emperor didn't know, but An Fuzhi knew. But he regretted saying the name. Being by the king's side all year round, Anfuzhi knew he should be a good news bird.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know that Li Qingru, who was one of the national scholars twenty years ago, and Yu Zhi is her nephew?" An Fuzhi said something nice.
"This young man is the nephew of Qingru, a national scholar, and he is in the company of Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan. He must be a good boy." The emperor praised. Birds of a feather flock together. This sentence gave the emperor a wrong understanding.
An Fuzhi looked across the screen, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said calmly: "Naturally."
"Jing Hong was assassinated. The task of receiving the mission still needs to be presided over by a member of the royal family. Jing Hao, the crown prince of Chu, will return to Beijing as he is living his life and ask him to take over. In addition, it will be easier to find a good time for the prince's marriage after the New Year. It’s done. The Queen Mother likes Chen’er very much, and getting married as soon as possible will help settle this boy’s thoughts.”
These are all business matters. Anfu Zhi recorded everything in his heart. "Your Majesty, what about the case in Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
"Hey, you old guy is here to plead for Qiu Yu again. How much benefit do you get from Qiu Yu on weekdays." The emperor laughed and scolded. His ascension to the throne was due to his contribution to serving the late emperor An Fuzhi day and night, so he was tolerant of him in every possible way.
When An Fuzhi heard this, he knelt down and said, "Old slave, I don't dare. I just saw that Ruoruo was clinging to the people on the mission's side, and now she had to investigate the case for Commander Qiu, so I felt a lot haggard. , I can’t help but feel a little sorry for the little girl.”
The emperor laughed and scolded again: "You think I have become a bad person."
"The old slave is terrified."
"That's all, the assassin was asked to find out by Qiu Yu years ago. King Zhao didn't care about it himself, but he asked me, the imperial uncle, to worry about it for him. Tell Qiu Yu that there must be an outcome in this matter, and let him weigh it himself .”
Anfuzhi responded. In fact, he didn't want to plead for Qiu Yu, let alone Qiu Ruoruo. It is necessary to find the assassin within three days. It is also a huge difficulty for anyone to put this matter on.
If Qiu Yu and Mei Renyi had found the assassin, it would be okay. If not, it would not only be the two of them who would be embarrassed, but also the current His Majesty.
An Fuzhi knew that he should give His Majesty a step at this time, let alone give His Majesty a step without leaving any trace.
An Fuzhi exited the imperial study with a normal expression, but his heart was extremely troubled. The emperor's orders were both easy and difficult to handle. The easiest thing to do was to send a message to the Prince of Chu to quickly return to Beijing and receive the envoy. The most difficult thing to handle is the prince's marriage.
This prince is neither naughty nor well-behaved. At least he is not a well-behaved and filial person when it comes to matters of marriage. But it is difficult to disobey the orders of parents, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was born into an imperial family.
In the Prince's East Palace, a handsome young man was painting. After he stopped painting, he looked at the masterpiece on the drawing paper and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Wan'er, what do you think of my painting? Is it better than the previous one?" The one who could make such a fuss in the East Palace must be Prince Jingyao.
Wan'er was the prince's maid and had been with the prince since she was a child. The prince was not yet the prince at that time. Therefore, the relationship between the two is not like an ordinary master and servant. For example, Wan'er was the only one who could serve the prince during his meal.
"Your Highness, this painting has improved a lot."
A smile overflowed on the prince's face, and he listened to Wan'er say: "A few days ago, Wan'er couldn't see the appearance of the pavilion, but today's painting allowed Wan'er to see it clearly."
Prince Jingyao's reputation quickly collapsed.
Wan'er comforted her. The prince didn't know why he got obsessed with painting. If he got obsessed, he would be obsessed with it. But he was not talented enough. After studying for many days, he was always in the state of painting like a tiger but not like a dog.
