Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

The important ministers of the court above the third rank all stood here, headed by the prime minister wearing civilian clothes and looking at ease.

The important ministers looked at each other, and they were anxious, and when they saw that the prime minister was here without wearing court clothes, they expected that there was a heavy dà incident.

After a while, the emperor informed everyone that the prime minister had colluded with foreign countries and intended to rebel, and although some ministers were surprised, they did not panic, after all, they had already guessed a few days ago that the prime minister was gone, and they were just waiting for an incident to break out, and then naturally took off the prime minister's suit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this matter, how should it be handled?" The old emperor sat on the chair, his triangular eyes drooped down his eyelids, and he didn't seem to have woken up.

Zhongshu and Yushi, the two glanced at each other, both of them shook their heads, and when the others heard that they were going to decide the prime minister, although the power was not as good as before, they still didn't dare to make a judgment.

Only Lord Taishi saw that everyone did not make the slightest move, so he leaned forward, "Your Majesty, the evidence of Chu Xiang's treason against the enemy is conclusive, and he should be severely punished!" ”

"Severe punishment?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at the prime minister, but at this time, Chu Jinyu's face did not have a sense of crisis, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his phoenix eyes smiled, "Okay...... Then tell me, how to punish it severely? ”

"It should be reported to the Criminal Department immediately, and all evidence should be confirmed by the Criminal Department, and the execution will be carried out after the autumn!" Taishi said without words.

After the fall?

The ministers shuddered, this—Isn't this just a month's life?

I can't help but admire Lord Taishi's outspokenness.

"The emperor thinks twice, the matter is serious, and the life of the prime minister is at stake, please re-investigate." The squire of the criminal department, who had been standing behind the prime minister, stepped forward and said.

The old emperor glanced at the letterhead and atlas on the table, and asked, "Who presented this evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's the fifth prince." The old eunuch next to him bowed and replied.

"If it is him, but what about the others?" The Emperor glanced at everyone, "Why are you handing over these things, but people aren't here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside reported, "Your Majesty, the five princes ask to see you." ”

"Biography!"

The fifth prince changed into court clothes and walked towards the study, he looked determined to win, until he walked to the side of the prime minister, and bowed, "The emperor knocks on his father!" ”

"How do you prove that these things must belong to the Prime Minister?" The emperor asked coldly.

"Back to my father, there is a booklet in the hand of the son, which is the codex of the prime minister, you can compare the handwriting on this letter to see if it is the same. As for the atlas, Wu Guoshi had traveled to various countries, and he had indeed seen the weapons on it in other countries, and he could testify to it. ”

The eunuch handed the codex to the emperor, who glanced at it lightly, and without saying much, ordered the eunuch to be passed into Wu Guoshi.

"National teacher, are you serious? Have you seen these weapons in other countries? The old emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials ......" he turned his head and glanced at the five princes kneeling on the ground, "I haven't seen it, these weapon drawings are the first time the lower officials have seen them, and they really make Weichen feel amazed, if they can be made according to the above, they will definitely strengthen our country's warrior spirit, and we will be able to win all battles, so it seems that the prime minister will do his best for my country." ”

When the fifth prince heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wu Guoshi with a pale face, "You...... You...... Father, that's not the case, that's not what he said before......"

"Myths confuse the public!" The emperor said angrily, "This letter, the national teacher will give me a good comparison." ”

Wu Guoshi took a look, "Although the glyphs are very similar, but they are not the same, the prime minister's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, but this letterhead can only be said to be more than a cat and a tiger, only form, but no god!" ”

The eunuch handed it over again, and the emperor squinted at it, "Hmm...... Be...... It's ......"

The fifth prince who was kneeling on the ground had red eyes, "Father, don't listen to what the traitor says, the son and the minister still have witnesses, it is a woman next to the prime minister, she ......"

"Presumptuous! Still dare to babble here? The old emperor slapped the table, "Retreat!" ”

The fifth prince got up angrily, glared at Wu Guoshi, and then looked at the prime minister in his direction, at this time he had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected such a result.

It's just that the fifth prince couldn't imagine that Wu Guoshi, who was obviously still good friends with him, would stand on the side of the prime minister in just half a day? Aren't they at odds? Aren't they enemies? Don't...... Are you all making a show?

The old emperor sat up rarely, as if he was rehabilitating the prime minister's grievances, "From today onwards, this matter will be strictly investigated, and all people involved will be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial!" ”

……

The car traveled for about the night and stopped near dawn.

Bu Youran and Liu Ming got out of the carriage one after another, and she looked in front of her, "Where is this?" ”

"My home." Liu Ming stepped forward and knocked on the knocker from outside the door.

At this time, an old man in his forties and fifties opened the door from the inside, "Young master? ”

"Uncle Li!" Liu Ming shouted, "Where's my father? ”

"The owner went to Yixian, and it is estimated that it will take a month to come back." Uncle Li replied, "You have been gone for more than half a year, do you want to stay permanently when you come back this time?" ”

Liu Ming bowed, "If it's relatively safe, probably." ”

Uncle Li looked at Bu Youran, who was standing behind him, along Liu Ming's shoulder, "Who is this?" ”

"My friend." Liu Ming said directly, "Please ask Uncle Li to arrange a room for her and let her rest first." ”

Uncle Li nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked back, "Yes, look at my old fool, you must be tired after driving all night, I will ask someone to prepare food for you, you go back to the house to rest first, and I will call you later." ”

After Uncle Li left, Bu leisurely pulled Liu Ming's cuffs, "Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to come to your house?" ”

Liu Ming glared at her, "If you say that, won't you come?" ”

"I didn't ...... Not really. Bu Youran smiled awkwardly, she had no other choice now, it seemed that she could only follow their arrangement and decide to lead her, and she had to wait for Fu Shan to catch up.

Fu Shan followed.

Bu leisurely went back to the room to rest for a long time, took a bath, ate, and wanted to sleep in the house for a while, but she was restless, her head was tense for a while, and her mood was inexplicably noisy, as if she was facing Sun Peng's car accident in modern times.

She changed her clothes and walked out of the yard, just in time to see Uncle Li who had just come out of the other rooms, he saw that Bu Youran had removed the makeup on his face, with a fresh look, and couldn't help laughing, "Miss Bu is still used to eating?" ”

Bu nodded leisurely, "It's delicious, Uncle Li bothered about it." ”

"Where, as it should be." Uncle Li looked at Bu Youran with a dignified look, and nodded inexplicably, "Miss Bu is going out?" ”

Step leisurely and bow your head.

"Otherwise, I'll let someone accompany you......"

Without waiting for Uncle Li to finish speaking, Bu Youran hurriedly refused, "No, I'm just hanging out, I'll be back in a while, if Liu Ming gets up, you can help me talk to him." ”

Uncle Li wanted to continue, but Bu Youran had already run out of the door.

Bu leisurely or the first time to come to Quzhou, here is the junction of the north and south, in fact, the temperature and the capital is not too much, but the prosperity here is not inferior to the capital, many businessmen always rest here, the restaurant is full of friends, the tea shop is overcrowded, there are those who do business, there are also some passing officials, of course, the common people account for the majority.

Bu leisurely bought some dim sum, and then came to the tea shop, hoping to inquire about some movements in the capital here.

However, after listening to it for a long time, everyone didn't mention the word prime minister, only one person suddenly said 'Wu Guoshi', Bu Youran's ears immediately stood up smartly, but soon the simple sentence of the people was not painful or itchy, and there was no information focus.

Logically speaking, the tea shop should be the fastest place to disseminate information, even though it is a long distance from the capital, but with the effect of false rumors, the people should not be indifferent, as if nothing happened in the palace.

Bu sat leisurely for half an hour, some couldn't sit still, so he got up and wanted to go back, just out of the door of the tea shop, but saw a pair of people holding portraits around and asked, "Have you seen this person?" ”

The middle-aged man who bought the bun looked at it carefully, didn't dare to be lazy, shook his head and said, "No." ”

The pair immediately went down to the next family, "Take a closer look, have you seen this person?" ”

Bu Youran seemed to glance at the portrait when they shook their bodies, although the painting was a little rough, but the general outline could still be seen, it was clearly her appearance!

Bu Youran was startled, she hurriedly raised her face with a snack bag, and walked back to the villa quickly.

Who is it?

Who's looking for her?

Chu Jinyu? No, he was already under control in the palace last night, how could he use his own men?

Who else will there be?

Bu Youran couldn't think of who else she had offended, and her heartbeat was still "banging" until she entered the villa.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ming came together, and when he heard Uncle Li say that Bu Youran had gone out, he hurriedly went out to look for it, but he didn't think that before he went out of the door, he saw Bu Youran coming back with a paper bag in his hand.

"Someone's going to arrest me!" Bu leisurely saw Liu Ming and said nervously.

Liu Ming didn't say anything immediately, just passed by Bu Youran, closed the gate, and walked towards the courtyard with Bu Youran's hand, "Didn't I tell you to go out?" ”

"You didn't say it!" Bu leisurely shouted from behind, and the pastry in his hand that was tightened by the rope slowly became loose, "Are you hiding something from me?" Otherwise, why would anyone come to arrest me? ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!"

"What do you mean you shouldn't ask? My life is at stake, and I should have the right to know! Bu leisurely roared, "At least death will make me understand my death." ”

Liu Ming walked leisurely to a room in the depths of the villa.

Bu leisurely looked at the room, it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, and there was a thin layer of dirt on the table and floor.

"From today on, you will live here, try not to come out, if you eat, drink or go to the toilet, you have to go to Guò to go to someone, and I will arrange it when the time comes."

Liu Ming seemed to be so cautious and meticulous, and he became more and more uneasy, and even more suspicious.

Seeing that Liu Ming was about to come out, she grabbed his arm, "You tell me the truth, what happened?" ”

"I can only sue you, Master Fu, they failed!" Liu Ming replied coldly.

"You mean to say...... Chu Xiang is safe and sound? There was a faint hint of relief in Bu You.

Liu Ming shook his head, "I don't know yet, but Master Fu said that if they fail, the imperial court will definitely track it down, and when the time comes, none of the people involved will want to escape." ”

Bu Youran's mind was a little confused, "Don't you tell me that the five princes will shake me out?" ”

"In order to win the emperor's trust, this is a necessary step!" Liu Ming said firmly.

"Bullshit!" Bu Youran suddenly wanted to scold, "I didn't do anything at all, and now it's good, I became a wanted criminal in the court for no reason?" ”

"It's all said, it's just speculation now, and it doesn't have to be like this......" Liu Ming couldn't help but be confused.

Uncle Li, who had just walked to the door from outside, saw the two arguing in the house, and couldn't help but feel in a dilemma, he held a letterhead in his hand, waited at the door, and waited for Bu Youran to be silent with Liu Ming, and then stepped forward, "Young master, your letter!" ”

Liu Ming glanced at Bu Youran and opened it, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

Bu asked in a leisurely voice, "The letter from Fu Zibo?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Ming shook his head.

"Show me." With that, she snatched it up, and she scanned it carefully, looking for the information she wanted to know.

The general content of the letterhead is that the five princes failed, which is the same as Liu Ming's prediction just now, and now not only the five princes, but also Fu Zibo, and even Liu Ming, of course, including key people, Bu Youran herself, her life is in danger, she was classified as the Five Princes' Party, not only deception

There is not only the crime of deception, but also the crime of provocation, of which the crime of deception is to deceive the emperor of the state to believe in Ren, and the crime of provocation is that the emperor attributes the gap between the five princes and the prime minister to her cunning.

Well, Bu leisurely admitted, she was so wronged......

is really more wronged than Dou E......

She did think about the complexity of the royal family, especially the old emperor was stupid and ignorant enough, but she really didn't think that even the five princes who looked righteous and awe-inspiring became timid as a mouse, and they didn't even stand up to say a word of justice for themselves? Although the old emperor did not want to see the five princes, it could be seen that he still left him a way back when dealing with this matter, only the small shrimp and small sesame seeds like Bu Youran became the target of the public, scapegoat, in addition, those old courtiers who followed the five princes were accused of returning to their hometowns, and a general was dismissed, no matter how much he had made great contributions to the Jing Dynasty, now he turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, without any emotion, and of course Fu Zibo, he had a very good personal relationship with the five princes, but now he could not escape his fate.

Sure enough, people in ancient times were not easy to mess with......

Bu leisurely couldn't help sighing and sighing.

There was no mention of Chu Jinyu's affairs in the letterhead, and it was not even known whether he was dead or alive, as if the people of the whole country were silent, not daring to discuss it at will.

Bu Youran guessed that now the situation in the capital is more urgent, everyone is in danger, and everyone is seeking self-protection.

She suddenly thought of Fu Shan, and hurriedly asked Liu Ming, "Fu Shan will be fine, right?" ”

"He settled in the Five Princes' Mansion, the Five Princes were not greatly affected this time, but he was only disqualified from competing for the throne, presumably everyone in the Five Princes' Mansion should be fine." Liu Ming guessed.

Bu Youran's heart seemed to sink to the bottom, and she sat on the chair, "Why did it become like this overnight?" ”

Liu Ming glanced at her, "I'll call someone to clean it, this is the most hidden place in the villa, if there is an official government to check, it won't be easy to find, so you can stay down-to-earth." ”

Bu leisurely sat on the chair, staring blankly at the overgrown weeds outside the yard, even when the maid came in to wipe the table and the ground, she didn't know it.

The little maids walked out with the basin and muttered in a low voice, "Is the woman the young master brought back a fool?" ”

I sat there all day, and in the evening, it rained.

The so-called autumn rain and a cold, after the rain, the wind hangs up, with a hint of coolness, and it makes you feel the sadness in your heart and the fatigue of intrigue in ancient times.

She has always been very suspicious, weren't the heroines in the TV series and books in the past all powerful, majestic and majestic? Why is she living so shabby?

Sure enough, they are all deceitful, all of them are fictitious and deceitful......

Bu Youran suddenly broke down and ran into the yard and yelled at the sky, "I lost, I admit defeat, I want to go back...... Damn Liu Yifu, let me go back, let me go back......"

The subordinate who had not yet slept heard this high-octave scream, thinking that this courtyard that had been uninhabited was haunted, and when he was about to run away, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if this voice was the woman who looked stupid and stupid brought back by the young master, and couldn't help but move back.

……

After two days like this, Bu Youran didn't take a bath all day, didn't comb his hair, and didn't go to the toilet a few times a day, and he was about to become a living immortal.

Early this morning, there were many horses outside the gate of the villa, because they were officers and soldiers, so they didn't dare to be stopped, and Liu Ming was not at home at this time.

The officers and soldiers took the portraits and compared them with the women in the villa one by one, and even stepped forward to pull the skin on their faces, for fear that someone would stick a skin mask on it to cover up.

"Just these people?" The officer and soldier asked awe-inspiringly.

Uncle Li bowed forward, did not dare to slack off, took out a bag of money from his waist, and handed it to the officers and soldiers led by him, "Just these people, we are all good citizens, my lord, and we will never hide important crimes in the imperial court." ”

The officers and soldiers glanced at the silver bag in their hands without saying a word, and their fingers moved slightly, as if they were feeling its weight, "From the outside, your mountain villa is quite big, why do you feel ...... when you come today?"

Uncle Li smiled flatteringly, "My lord doesn't know, our villa is self-sufficient, although it looks big, but behind it is barren grassland, and some crops and vegetables are planted," After speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his waist and handed it over, "If you like it, I'll bring you some." ”

The officer and soldier raised their eyebrows, "That's not necessary. He shouted to the officers and soldiers standing around, "Brothers are all back, there will definitely be no such villa, let's go to another house." ”

Sent off the officers and soldiers and closed the door.

The guy on one side gave a thumbs up, "Thanks to Uncle Li's wit, either Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

"Don't praise me, look at me in a hurry." Uncle Li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "Let someone go to the young master, have you sent it?" ”

"Don't worry, they've gone out to look for them long before they came." The little guy swore and said, "It's going to be fine." ”

"Don't be so early, those wolves who can't be fed, seeing that there is profit to be made from our villa, and knowing that there must be a problem here, now they will become a handle, giving silver for 121,000 taels a day, where can we stand it." Uncle Li sighed, "It's just a stopgap. ”

Uncle Li sighed, and when he returned to the house, he didn't have time to drink tea to suppress the shock, so he hurriedly walked to the backyard, and saw Bu Youran still sitting at the table in the room as before, and couldn't help but step forward and shake himself, "Girl." ”

Step leisurely, "Uncle Li? ”

"Forgive the old man, I am talking too much, I know that the girl is friends with my young master, but a group of officers and soldiers have just arrived, and they are holding portraits of arrested criminals."

Bu Youyou had an epiphany, she smiled bitterly, "Uncle Li wants to say that I should plan earlier?" After all, this kind of words cannot be spoken, and the old man in front of him has the obligation to take care of this villa when the owner is not at home.

Uncle Li shook his head, "The girl is worried, I'm just worried that if the girl continues to stay here, the Fear Mountain Villa may not be able to protect you." ”

Bu leisurely pursed his lips and ordered

pursed his lips and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I know ......"

After he left, Bu Youran hurriedly went to find Liu Ming, and the next person said that he had been out for a long time, and someone had already gone to look for him, so he sat in Liu Ming's house and waited.

This is the first time Bu Youran has seen Liu Ming's room, compared to Chu Jinyu's room, Liu Ming's is simpler, only the two swords on the side of the bed look slightly valuable, and there are no other accessories, even the enjoyment is rare.

"The girl has a sip of tea first." A maid walked in with a cup of tea.

Bu Youran was looking at the sword at the time, heard a voice, and looked up, "Thank you." ”

"The young master is very fond of swords, and in order to learn martial arts at that time, he deliberately went to the Taoist Temple to learn art." The little maid explained.

"Taoism?" Bu raised his voice leisurely and couldn't help laughing, "I said how come he sometimes has the temperament of a Taoist." ”

The little maid covered her mouth and smiled, "But girl, you are the first woman brought back by our young master......"

Bu Youran listened to it leisurely, and was quite embarrassed, "You, what did you misunderstand......

The little maid didn't explain and walked out.

There were no more steps left in the room again, and she sat back at the table, and was about to pick up the teacup, when she heard a sound that sounded like "Di Di Di".

Bu leisurely thought that she had heard it wrong, after all, this sound seemed to come from an instrument, and it should not be related to this backward ancient time, she pursed her lips and brought the teacup close to her mouth, however, it was more clearly "Di Di Di".

It won't be an auditory hallucination, it definitely won't be......

Bu stood up leisurely, the tea in her hand spilled to the ground because she got up too quickly, she put the cup on the table at random, and hurriedly followed the sound to find it.

"Dididi"

Listening carefully, discerning direction and position, she walked to the edge of the bed.

The sound of "Di Di Di" is getting clearer and clearer.

Bu leisurely lifted the mattress and saw the top layer of wood, but there was nothing, but the sound was clearly from here, she looked at the middle of the bed, and tapped it lightly with her hand, making a 'bang' sound.

Sure enough, it was empty.

Bu leisurely searched for the mechanism on the bed board, and saw a vacancy in an inconspicuous place, she put her finger in it, and lifted it slightly.

Suddenly, she was stunned......

This...... Isn't this a bracelet?

She is too familiar with it, this is clearly a modern instrument, and the key is specially used to traverse.

She was about to forget her own breathing, and with trembling hands she carefully picked it up.

"Di Di Di" is accompanied by a sound, and this bracelet emits a faint light.

If she is not mistaken, this should be a reminder of the message from which time and space, and she quickly pressed the power button on the bracelet.

Suddenly, a dialog box appeared on the wall, "You have new information. ”

Step leisurely with your hand on the OK button a little, "Time and space docking completed".

"What are you doing?" Liu Ming, who had just come in, saw Bu Youran holding the bracelet and shouted loudly.

Bu Youran was so nervous that he was so frightened by this roar that he fell out of bed.
