"If it is someone close to the prince, we can also connect and analyze the previous clues." Mu Siyu said, "For example, if he is short in stature."
"The skin can be disguised, the stutter can be disguised, but the height of the body is innate and cannot be faked." Lu Yi said, "The prince has raised so many beast control masters, are there any who meet this aspect? If we can find this person, then we can
If you follow this clue, you can always find some clues."
"I never pay attention to those beast masters, how do I know who is short?" Fan Yuanxi said.
"That man is hiding next to the prince. It is impossible for him to do nothing. As long as he does something, he will definitely attract attention, even if he tries his best to hide himself." Lu Yi said again.
"I will go back and ask." Fan Yuanxi said, "Those beast masters who were willing to follow me have all gone to the capital. Those who are not willing to follow me, I don't know where they have gone."
"I think this person must be by your side. This time he followed you all the way west to provide disaster relief. When he arrived in Suzhou City, he interfered. I'm afraid he thought no one would suspect him of doing something here," Lu Yi said.
"Why are we sabotaging disaster relief?" Mo Wuyi asked.
"I think this person doesn't want to sabotage the disaster relief, but wants to cause unrest." Mu Siyu said, "The prince did not take credit for the disaster relief all the way. Even if the disaster relief was done, the people would hardly know his existence. After returning to the capital, even if
The emperor rewards him, but he is still a prince with no real power. The other party will not benefit from dealing with the prince, unless his real purpose is to cause unrest."
"First, let the people be angry because of the stone forging incident, and then use the name of the prince's cruelty to let you die under those vengeful beasts. At this time, we fan the flames. When the officials of Suzhou City see that the prince is dead, they must find a way to give an explanation to the court.
, when the time comes, it will arouse the resentment of the people again...layer after layer, the other party wants to ignite the fire of rebellion here."
"This is a big chess game." Lu Yi concluded, "My lord, I'm afraid you were a chess piece in the opponent's hands a few years ago."
"I have been a chess player since I was born. There is nothing strange about this." Fan Yuanxi's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Those who play chess must be in the capital, and those who stay outside are all minions. Forget it, let's continue.
Disaster relief, complete it as soon as possible, and return to the capital as soon as possible to find the mastermind behind this."
"Your Majesty, I have a few words that I want to say to you alone." Lu Yi said.
"Okay, you all stand down, and I will say a few words to Mr. Lu." Fan Yuanxi found a seat and sat down.
Mu Siyu looked back at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi nodded towards her.
Lu Yi and Fan Yuanxi were the only two people left in the room.
"The other party must have some plan to cause unrest in Suzhou City. Suzhou City is your jurisdiction, and to the east is the jurisdiction of King Li. How much does the prince know about this imperial uncle?"
Fan Yuanxi looked at Lu Yi: "Do you suspect that someone killed two birds with one stone by not only taking back my fiefdom, but also taking the opportunity to launch an attack to take back King Li's fiefdom? But King Li has stopped interfering with court affairs for a long time."
"Not asking does not mean that there is no influence." Lu Yi said, "I heard that Prince Li was the late emperor's favorite son in the early years. Originally, this country was going to be given to him. But on the night when the late emperor passed away, I don't know what happened.
What, the edict said that the throne was passed to the current emperor. After that, Prince Li got a fief and never returned to the capital. Don’t you think this is a thorn in his side?"
"So you suspect that this incident happened to him..." His ruthless and ruthless 'father' could really do such a thing.
"It doesn't have to be 'him'. There are always so many people who want to share the worries for 'him'. However, if such a thing really happens, that person must be happy to see it happen." Lu Yi said, "Prince Li has been silent for too long, Your Majesty.
Have you ever thought about meeting this imperial uncle?"
"Lu Yi, what do you want to do?" Fan Yuanxi looked at him, "I am just a useless chess piece. You can't get anything from me."
"Whether it's a waste of chess or not, that's what the chess players say. The prince only cares about your chess, so why worry so much?"
"Lu Yi, you are not afraid of me now! You were not so arrogant back then."
Lu Yi was injured and needed to rest for a while, so he could no longer travel with them. Fan Yuanxi asked him and Mu Siyu to go back to Hubei City to recuperate, and catch up with them after their injuries were healed, and then return to the capital together.
Of course Mu Siyu is happy. Lu Yi has not seen Xiao Qing'er until now. She doesn't say it, but she is very disappointed in her heart. Of course, she also knows that this is no wonder Lu Yi. He has an important responsibility and cannot leave him.
King Zhong and others went back to enjoy family happiness.
After separating from King Zhong and others, Mu Siyu took Lu Yi back to Hubei City.
As for those things in Suzhou City, if Lu Yi is missing, there will always be someone to deal with it. In addition, the people in the dark have just exposed their conspiracy, so they should not stay in Suzhou City to cause trouble anymore, which temporarily relieves the crisis.
In the carriage, Mu Siyu saw Lu Yi frowning from time to time, looking outside from time to time, and turning the book out to read two pages from time to time, and asked, "Does the wound feel uncomfortable?"
Lu Yi shook his head.
"Are you thirsty?" He said, taking out the teapot from the secret compartment.
"Not really." Lu Yi saw the cakes in the secret room, "I'm a little hungry, let's eat something!"
Mu Siyu brought out the cakes and poured another cup of tea.
Lu Yi ate with deep thoughts.
"What's on your mind? This pastry is the kind you don't like to eat the most, and you've eaten several pieces in a row." Mu Siyu said, "You can't be shy about being close to home, right?"
"I'm thinking about something." Lu Yi said, "When we get to Hubei City later, don't go home yet. I'm going to buy something."
"What are you going to buy?" Mu Siyu was curious, "Is it because you didn't buy anything for your children, so you went to buy something to please them first?"
"What kind of flattery is that? I haven't seen them for a long time, so I have to give them a meeting gift." Lu Yi said, "Shaoyu and Xiaoyun'er are just that. This is the first time for Xiao Qing'er to meet, but I, the father, can't even see them."
I didn’t even buy a single silver lock.”
The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Mu Siyu laughed.
Sure enough, no matter how powerful he is outside, he will still feel embarrassed when facing his own children.
"They don't mind this," Mu Siyu said, "but if you, a father, insist on buying it, they will be happy."
A few days later, they returned to Hubei City.
Lu Yi looked a little pale because of the wound.
But after getting out of the car, he became lively again. He took her to the newly opened gold store in Hubei City, picked out some beautiful jewelry for her, and bought a lot of gold and silver items for the children.
After leaving the Golden Building, he went to buy a lot of delicious things.
"Xiao Yun'er." An Yu called to Lu Zhiyun who was doing needlework, "Go out and take a look, someone is looking for you."
Lu Zhiyun raised her pretty face: "Isn't it Chu Yan again?"
Although Xiao Yun'er knew Chu Yan's true identity, she still called him Chu Yan outside.
