Chapter VIII The Eve Before Departure

"I didn't help much in this matter. Basically, I just used Chen Yao's secret guard to give a few ideas. By the way, I told Uncle Ye about the accident about Zhan Fei." Li Zige smiled gently and said humbly.

"So we can encounter things that we can't usually encounter with Chen Yao. Look at this time, this time, it's the first time I've encountered such a good lantern explosion." Gong Hanting took the opportunity to tease.

"Mr. Gong, don't be happy with our Highness. Everyone feels uncomfortable now."

"Qinghe, nothing."

As the few people walked and talked, they arrived at Zhenweizhai in a short while. The four of them walked in and saw a middle-aged man wearing a silver-gray brocade dress with half-white hair but a solemn face sitting in the hall. He held a mirror in his right hand and was thinking about something seriously. This person was the largest imperial merchant in Li Kingdom. He was the head of the Ye family, who had half the economy. He felt someone coming in, turned his head, and after seeing the person clearly, he nodded slightly and signaled the few people to sit down.

"Is Uncle Ye so good recently?" Feng Chenyao, led by the leader, spoke first, "It's something we don't want to see when something happened to Zhan Fei. Uncle Ye wants to take care of his health, and Zhenweizhai still needs to be managed by you."

"Thank you for your concern. You are Zhan Fei's friends and are familiar with this place, so I will not do too much hospitality." After looking at a few people, putting down the mirror in my hand, he said in a deep voice: "I have understood Zhan Fei's situation. I will not give up the people who hurt my son. I heard that I am only short of medicine to attract red water flowers. I think my Ye family is rich enough to match the country's wealth, and I just ordered people to offer a reward of tens of thousands of gold to find this flower."

"Uncle Ye, just call me Chen Yao. When looking for red water flowers, I will go to Youmingjian to find this flower tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry so much. Zhan Fei is your only son, so it's understandable to worry about us."

"This mirror was discovered by me on the roof of Xianghe Building opposite Zhenweizhai. Looking at the broken traces, it should be caused by someone falling in a hurry."

Feng Chenyao listened to Li Zige's words, picked up the mirror and looked for a moment. He found a very small character Yan on the back. He thought of the explosion of a lantern and said to several people, "The mirror aimed at a flammable object in the sunlight, which will cause an explosion. Look at the character Yan behind it. As expected, the operator behind it is undoubtedly Han Yuting."

"The Ye family and Han Yuting have no holidays. Why do he do this? I really think my Ye family is easy to bully!" After hearing this, Ye Haisong slapped the table heavily and said angrily.

"Uncle Ye, don't get angry. If what I expected was, Han Yuting should have come for Chen Yao. But what I don't understand is that Han Yuting is not afraid that we will catch the handle of this matter and tell the emperor to learn about it? Do he really think that Yan Sitang has great power in the capital and can cover the sky with his hands?" Gong Hanting said with a puzzled look on his face.

"No one in the capital knows that whenever there is something wrong, the lawsuit that is difficult to settle now is not the Yamen or Dali Temple, but the first thing that comes to mind is Yan Sitang. By the way, Chen Yao, if you don't come back, the people and officials in the capital will probably have forgotten you as the prince. Your second brother Feng Linghuan took advantage of your absence in recent years, and nearly half of the ministers in the court have become his supporters." Gong Hanting said with some gloating in his words.

Li Zige continued: "Yan Sitang has only been established for three years, but its power has grown rapidly. Nowadays, Han Yuting can basically handle some matters that do not involve the emperor and report them to the emperor. It is no wonder that the people in the capital are not as impressed by you as the prince. After all, Han Yuting is the one who can handle the lawsuit directly for them."

"I have heard of it at this time, but for the Ye family, the business they are engaged in is basically gold, silver, cloth, ore, and they have dealing with neighboring countries. The main one in the capital is Zhenweizhai, and they don't have much contact with Han Yuting. I have seen this person a few times. If the Ye family had not had the title of royal merchant, Han Yuting would have drawn personal gain from it long ago." Ye Haisong looked around the store and thought for a moment and said.

"No matter what conspiracy Han Yuting has, the most important thing is to find the red water flower now. Qinghe, you can stay here to take care of Mr. Ye. I will go to Youmingjian early tomorrow morning."

"Chen Yao, let me go with you!"

"Your Highness, yes, Qinghe knows."

"No Zige, I'll go alone this time. You are in the capital to help Uncle Ye manage Zhenweizhai's business and take care of their safety." After a pause, he said to Li Zige: "Zige, you will go to the palace tomorrow and tell my mother where I will go. The situation is urgent. I will go there for several days this time, otherwise she should be worried again."

"Oh, Chen Yao, I know what you decided, and no one can change it. You must pay attention to safety when you go to Youmingjian. I hope that Grandma Posa will not vent her anger on you because of your master's affairs."

"Mr. Li, Master Gong, you can rest assured. I am lucky to have learned medical skills from Grandma Posa in my early years. As for her, she is a person with clear grudges. However, if you want to blame your highness for being too overworked back then, you might be subject to some difficulties."

"I am here, so I thank you all for your son."

"Uncle Ye must not say that. Zhan Fei is our friend."

"Well. After the dog is well, Han Yuting will definitely pay the price for this time."

"Zi Ge, Master Wu's whereabouts in the umbrella pavilion are a bit suspicious. Let my grandfather ask someone to inquire about Haocheng."

"Yeah, don't worry. I will write a book and tell my grandfather."

"Sir, I am really imagining it! I admire you. Master Wu also asked him to return to his hometown in Haocheng as you told him." In a study room in Yan Sitang, a man in dark red clothes was sitting with his back to the desk, and his hair was tied with only a dark blue blond hair band. "I have something unknown to me. Did you ask Master Wu to return to Haocheng, aren't you waiting for the prince to find him? After all, the prince and the others are anxious about the antidote."

The person who was talking on the knees on the ground was one of the servants in the umbrella pavilion. At this time, he was paying his duty to report the situation to his master, Han Yuting.

"Haha, I never thought about how deep this matter was hidden. Feng Chenyao had not returned for three years and returned to Beijing at this time. Not to mention the true nature, the Queen's party must have wanted to get rid of him and get it faster." Han Yuting laughed softly, and the heads of the kneeling on the ground lowered even lower. "If the true nature had not been revealed to them, would you think they could have thought so quickly who did it?"

"Sir, wise!"

"No accident, Feng Chenyao will set out to Youmingjian tomorrow at the latest to look for red water flowers and wood wind."

"Subordinate is here."

"You will reveal Feng Chenyao's whereabouts to the queen tonight, don't let her know who gave the news." Han Yuting said to Mu Feng standing next to him.

"Okay, you go back. The Umbrella Pavilion will close the door and close the business these days."

"Yes, sir. My subordinates have sued."

Looking at Mu Feng standing beside him, Han Yuting turned around, stroked his sleeves, then took out a piece of letter paper from the table, signaling Mu Feng to grind, picked up a pen, and wrote a few words on the paper.

"Mu Feng, you will find a way to see this letter to the queen tonight. This is the fun thing. Feng Chenyao must be alone in his journey to Youmingjian. With the queen's plan for her son Feng Linghuan, he will definitely seize this opportunity. Feng Chenyao will not be too bored along the way."

"Sir, why don't you let the secret guards attack the prince on the road, but you want to inform the queen of the news. Besides, how do you know that the prince is going alone this time?"

"With his conceited personality, he will definitely not let the people around him accompany him. Now they are guarded against me. If you take action on the road, you will definitely let the one in the palace notice it. It would be perfect for the queen to do this." Han Yuting narrowed his eyes slightly, "I want Feng Lintian to experience the feeling of falling from a high position to dust as soon as he goes. This day will not be too long. Sister, your hard days will be over soon." Han Yuting said in his heart.

The inner scenery of the Secluded Stream is quiet and the mood is short for thousands of years.

Time flies, and two days pass quickly. The heat of summer does not play any role in the evening in the stream. If you sit in the yard at night, you still have to wear a thin shirt to avoid being hurt by the cold. Qi Liyan was wearing a light blue dress and sat in front of the stone table. She put a book in front of her, leaning her head on her arm, lying on the table without moving, looking into the distance. At first, she didn't care about the interpretation of the meridians given by her grandmother. She thought that she could not remember the contents of the meridians with her previous foundation of reading poetry and books at home. However, it was not until two days later that she realized that not to mention how much knowledge she had before, but from the memorization memory, her current mind is comparable to a messy mind, and it is difficult to remember the contents of the book.

"Quchi acupoint, the acupoint on your hand, ah! Oh my God! I can't finish it for five days after I remember it for a month." I withdrew my gaze from a distance and thought decadently: "Dad, mother, brother, am I... useless? I can't even memorize a book. How can I avenge you?"

"Things must be remembered with care, rather than thinking about useless things in your heart, but the mind keeps memorizing them. In this way, even if you look at them a hundred times, it will be difficult to remember."

"Master, it's so late, why are you coming out?" Qi Liyan was startled by the sudden sound behind her. Looking at the sudden appearance of Posa Grandma, she stood up, grabbed her sleeves with both hands, and looked at her uneasy. "Master. I......"

Before she could speak, Grandma Posa walked around her and sat down on the stone bench opposite her, looked at the book on the table, and said to Qi Liyan: "Go to my room and take out the chess set on the table. Now there is nothing to do, let's have a game with me."

"Master, I, I haven't finished memorizing the technique yet, I want to hurry up and recite the book." Qi Liyan said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why, you don't want to play chess with me, the old woman? Didn't you call me a master? You don't want to do this?" Grandma Posa looked at her and said lightly, "Since that's the case, you should leave early tomorrow morning, and you don't have to wait until you can't carry it out in three days before leaving."

"Master, I know my mistake. I will go and get the chess now."

"Yeah, let your steps lightly. Puff is sleeping."
