Within a month, the truth of the fourth prince's murder was verified.
It was the person who was collaborating with the enemy in the DPRK and leaked his whereabouts to Xixia, which caused the fourth prince to be ambushed on his way back to the country.
Countless courtiers were implicated in this case, nearly a thousand people were imprisoned before and after, and dozens of mansions were raided.
There were no bones of the fourth prince, and on the day when the tomb was buried, dozens of ministers suspected of collaborating with the enemy were executed Ling Chi at the city gate.
The rest who were implicated were either beheaded and displayed to the public, or distributed to the army, or demoted to slave status.
The case is now settled.
And from the beginning to the end, there was no evidence that the fifth prince Yu Hong was involved.
"That's a good trick..." Yu Yan put down the secret letter in his hand and sighed.
Mu Yungui was serving tea beside him, and stopped when he heard the words: "Is the master talking about the Fifth Highness?"
"Yeah." Yu Yan folded the secret letter in a hurry, and said leisurely, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it without flaws. I have really underestimated him over the years."
He suddenly thought of something: "Is there any result of what I asked you to investigate earlier?"
Mu Yungui shook his head: "In the year His Royal Highness was born, no other concubines in the palace were pregnant or died mysteriously."
Yu Yan fell silent.
Mu Yungui asked: "Is the master doubting the fifth prince's life experience?"
Yu Yan narrowed his eyes and said softly, "I just have a feeling..."
Yu Hong was not born in the palace.
He was a premature baby. When the queen was pregnant for nine months, it happened to be the annual ceremony of Yan Kingdom.
The queen went to the ancestral temple to worship with King Yan, and suffered unbearable abdominal pain that night, and gave birth to the fifth prince, Yu Hong, the next day.
Yu Yan was also present at the time, but he was too young, and the Queen had been loving Yu Hong all these years, so he never doubted Yu Hong's life experience.
But thinking about it carefully, there were indeed many coincidences and doubts in the events of that year.
At the beginning, even the imperial physician confirmed that the queen was infertile, why did she become pregnant again
During the few months of pregnancy, the queen's body has been very healthy, why did she give birth prematurely, but it was still in the ancestral temple.
Also, not long after Yu Hong was born, all the servants in the Queen's palace were replaced, and none of them remained.
"Let's check again." Yu Yan said, "The old people in the Queen's Palace, as well as the Qin family of the Duke of Zhenbei, I remember that it was only a few years after Yu Hong was born that he brought his family to the fief."
Mu Yungui: "Yes."
Yu Yan rubbed his brows, got up and threw the secret letter into the charcoal brazier.
The letter paper was quickly burnt to ashes, Yu Yan said, "But this is not without benefit to us. There are more and more people in the court urging the establishment of the reserve these days, and the royal father will most likely issue an decree soon."
Mu Yungui added some tea to him: "The DPRK and China are now divided into two forces, and the majority support the master."
"That's because a lot of ministers who support the eldest brother's faction have been involved this time." Yu Yan smiled, "In this way, Yu Hong is really helping me."
Yu Yan lowered his head to taste the tea, and Mu Yungui said again: "There is one more thing, I heard that Your Highness went to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday."
"As expected." Yu Yan was not surprised. "The prime minister is in command of all officials, but he has never stood in line on the establishment of the reserve. The eldest brother naturally wants to win his support."
"Then we..."
"Don't pay attention to this." Yu Yan interrupted, "Didn't you promise to take a break today and not talk about political affairs?"
Mu Yungui: "..."
Yu Yan suddenly said: "Oh, it seems that I mentioned it first."
Mu Yungui didn't say more, Yu Yan quietly looked up at him.
Since the beginning of the spring, Yu Yan has been very busy, busy attracting various forces, busy dealing with the battle for the prince, and busy investigating Yu Hong. He hadn't been idle for a long time, and had a chat with Mu Yungui.
But how to talk
Yu Yan and Mu Yungui had known each other for many years, and they thought they knew him well enough.
But recently, he discovered that he seemed to be a little bit clueless about this person.
Mu Yungui treats him gently and considerately and meticulously on the bed, really like an excellent lover. But after getting out of bed, this person continued to play the role of a guard, behaved restrained and polite, and told him plainly that they were only masters and servants, nothing else.
… and that’s very frustrating.
The more Yu Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he put down the tea cup with a snap, breaking the silence in the room.
Mu Yungui: "Master?"
Yu Yan walked into the room angrily and instructed, "Change clothes and accompany me out of the palace."
The carriage stopped at the busiest street market, Mu Yungui got off the car first and turned around to help Yu Yan.
Yu Yan didn't let him help him, and jumped out of the carriage on his own.
Without waiting for him, he immediately walked forward.
Mu Yungui: "?"
... Where did he make the little master unhappy again
Mu Yungui shook his head helplessly and instructed the driver to go back to the palace first, and then chased after him.
Today is a gathering in the city, and the city of Jiangdu is extraordinarily lively. Now that the sky is dark, the bright red lanterns in the distance illuminate the whole city brightly. On the long street, pedestrians are in groups of three or five, stalls are set up on both sides of the road, and the sound of laughter and hawking can be heard.
It's a pity that Yu Yan has something hidden in his heart and is not in the mood to go shopping.
He has a good impression of Mu Yungui.
Yu Yan felt that he might be a little sluggish about feelings, and he couldn't even figure out when this good feeling started. But no matter how slow he is, he can recover after the last incident.
But what's the use if only he has good feelings
... Mu Yun returned to that wood.
There were people coming and going on the street, making a lot of noise, Yu Yan pressed his eyebrows, causing a headache from the noise.
He really shouldn't be thinking about that now.
King Yan is imminent, and the two forces in the DPRK and China are no different, and Yu Hong doesn't know whether they are enemies or friends... He still has so many things to plan, but he is here to consider those love and love!
Hmph, when His Highness ascends the throne, there are as many beauties as there are beauties in the harem, and they are much prettier than him, so a piece of wood is not uncommon.
Thinking of this, Yu Yan felt a little more relaxed, and turned around to call Mu Yungui to find a clean place to hang out.
He turned his head, and Mu Yungui handed a bunch of candied haws to him.
The candied haws are full of grains, and the sugar coating on the outside is crystal clear, which looks sweet and delicious.
Mu Yungui looked down at him, and said warmly, "This subordinate shouldn't make the master unhappy, it's the subordinate's fault, so don't be angry, the master."
His eyes were gentle, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked a little foul.
Yu Yan stared blankly at Mu Yungui's face, his head dizzy.
He just... what was he trying to say
After a while, Yu Yan sat in the private room of the restaurant, his ears flushed slightly.
The wood will also hook people, which is really annoying.
Yu Yan bit the candied haws angrily.
They often come to this restaurant, Mu Yungui skillfully ordered a few dishes that Yu Yan liked, and raised his head to ask Yu Yan.
Yu Yan swallowed the last candied fruit, expressionless: "Here is a pot of wine, the strongest one."
Mu Yungui frowned: "Master... Young Master, it's best not to drink alcohol when you are out."
Yu Yan raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Mu Yungui: "..."
Mu Yungui tilted his head to the store owner: "A pot of spirits."
Of course Yu Yan didn't prepare this wine for himself.
If you tell the truth after drinking, when dealing with wood like this, you should directly get people drunk, and then you can tell anything.
It says so in the book.
The food was served quickly, Yu Yan estimated the amount of alcohol he had, and drank while eating. During the banquet, he found an opportunity and poured a full glass of wine for Mu Yungui with a natural look.
Mu Yungui was startled: "Master, subordinate..."
Mu Yungui is Yu Yan's personal bodyguard and needs to stay sober at all times, and has never drunk alcohol over the years.
Because of this, Yu Yan was certain that this person's alcohol intake would not be much better.
Yu Yan said, "Just have a drink and stay with me, okay?"
"Can… "
Yu Yan frowned slightly: "Aren't you willing to accompany me?"
"Naturally not." Seeing Yu Yan's insistence, Mu Yungui didn't dare to refuse again. He took the glass obediently, raised his head and took a sip.
Yu Yan also took a sip, but his eyes were always on Mu Yungui.
I saw the latter put down the glass, his expression still calm.
This wine is extremely strong, even if Yu Yan deliberately controls it, he still feels a little dizzy after drinking it. Unexpectedly, Mu Yungui drank such a full cup without even frowning.
Yu Yan secretly made a mistake in his heart, just as he was about to take the jug and pour another glass, but seeing Mu Yungui swaying slightly, he fell straight on the table.
Yu Yan: "…"
Emotions are poured into a cup.
"… Yun Gui?" Yu Yan tried to call out, but didn't respond.
trouble.
I'm so sleepy, what should I ask now
There was no such situation in the book, Yu Yan came to Mu Yungui's side, reached out and poked his face: "Mu Yungui?"
Still no response.
"Forget it..." Yu Yan sighed and helped the person up.
This restaurant is available for accommodation, and the private room is equipped with soft beds and chairs for guests to rest.
Mu Yungui was much taller than Yu Yan, and because he was not fully awake himself, it was quite difficult for him to support others.
He struggled to help the person to lie down on the edge of the bed, but unexpectedly, he was pulled hard by the other side and fell onto the bed.
Yu Yan fell into Mu Yungui's arms.
Mu Yungui was already asleep, he lay quietly, with one hand still around Yu Yan's waist. Yu Yan held up his arms and tried to break free, but he couldn't.
This person didn't forget to protect Yu Yan even when he was drunk.
After Mu Yungui was drunk, his strength was still terrifyingly strong, Yu Yan worked hard for a moment, rested on Mu Yungui's chest panting, and stopped moving.
This is nothing like what the book says.
Yu Yan thought bitterly.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have drunk him. Who would have known that this person was a drinker.
Mu Yungui's heartbeat was strong and steady, and it was transmitted to Yu Yan through the thin clothes. Yu Yan raised his head, and from this angle, he could see Mu Yungui's well-defined jaw.
Yu Yan watched intently, and suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were not quite right.
"No one is prettier than you."
He used to drink more than Mu Yungui at night, and now the wine is long overdue. Yu Yan stared blankly at Mu Yungui, grabbed the opponent's arm and raised his upper body.
"I can't find anyone more beautiful than you."
Yu Yan stretched out his hand and brushed Mu Yungui's side face, the end of his eyes, down the bridge of his nose, and his fingertips across the sharply shaped thin lips.
He had never touched someone like this before. They had gone to bed countless times, usually led by Mu Yungui, all actions were to relieve their desires, as if they were just completing the tasks he explained.
They never had any real intimate touch, let alone any kiss.
Yu Yan retracted his fingers, and raised his head to kiss him.
Mu Yungui's lips were unexpectedly soft, and just simply touching his lips together gave Yu an unprecedented feeling.
The place where they touched was like an electric shock, and the end of the fingertips trembled slightly.
But addicting.
Suddenly, Yu Yan felt that the world was spinning and he was forced into the soft bed.
He raised his head, Mu Yungui didn't know when to open his eyes, his eyes were deep.
