Blood Eater

Chapter 37 Be Honest

"I heard from those palace people say that the imperial doctors have gone in and out of their father's bedroom more during this period. When the ministers are sick, those imperial doctors will also come to see their ministers. The ministers are worried about whether their father is sick and want to visit their father very much."

In Yang Yiping's eyes, he was replaced by the concern of true feelings. In the eyes of Emperor Yongle, he was suddenly relieved. Even if he was as stupid as others, how many people could compare with his filial piety?

"Has your father recovered?" Yang Yiping came forward and held the arm of Emperor Yongle. "They said that the Qianyuan Hall is the place where the emperor lives, and the ministers can't go. Father, is the emperor very powerful? But my father lives in Qianyuan Hall, and my son wants to go..."

Yang Yiping frowned and helped Emperor Yongle into the pavilion. "Father, your feet will hurt after standing for a long time. There are stools here."

Emperor Yongle was so close to this stupid prince for the first time. In the past, when he was stupid, he was disgusted in his eyes.

I don't know if he has been sick in bed for a long time. When he feels that the harem concubine and the prince accompany him, it will always make him guess whether there is something else hidden behind those concerns.

But today, together with this unpopular emperor, he felt very comfortable and had no scruples. Seeing the grievances in Yang Yiping's eyes, Emperor Yongle showed a warm smile.

"The Holy Son is the proud son of heaven, but he is also Ping'er's best relative. If Ping'er wants to go to the Qianyuan Hall, just let the palace people take you there. However, you still have to study hard and know more knowledge."

He looked at Yang Yiping and felt a little sad. He had never ascended the throne. This son was only 4-5 years old, but his talent was amazing. He never forgot to read and read. His views on the book were clear and clear, which was completely different from what a 5-year-old child could do.

It's a pity that his biological mother, Princess Li, was at peace with the crown princess Chu at that time. She was quietly in the cold palace, which left him unattended. She fell off the rockery and became stupid.

Yang Yiping listened to Emperor Yongle's words and smiled happily, "That's great. The emperor turned out to be a good man, and my son is no longer afraid of the emperor." He looked at the Qianyuan Hall and said, "I admire him so much."

Emperor Yongle looked at the happy emperor, and his heart was slightly fright: When Ping'er smiled happily, his face was full of moisture and his eyes were shining. How could he be an idiot like this?

Emperor Yongle changed his mind, "Ping'er, my father still likes Ling Boting. Well, on the ninth and 19th of the first lunar month, you wait for your father here, and my father wants to test your knowledge."

"Okay, my son is obeyed!"

Emperor Yongle didn't say anything more. He stood up and said, "It's windy on the lake. Go back to the palace early."

Emperor Yongle walked on the trestle, and the lake was rippling and the lake was sparkling, giving people an unreal feeling. A more strange guess surged up in his heart, but for Yang Yiping's safety, he was not going to investigate.

Besides, Chu Ruoxi was assassinated and returned home. After resting for more than half a month, she used the medicine given by Liang Ziyang. The wound healed quickly and the scar gradually faded away. It took a few days to heal.

She guessed that the assassination might be related to the mistress Liang. She speculated that it was impossible for Liang to joke about the lives of her children. She really had no idea about the real murderer behind the scenes.

The only fortunate thing is that Qiao Alin found out the person who might be related to Phoenix's blood eating and disappeared near Zhao Qing'an's house.

Zhao Qing'an's identity is worth considering, and there should be a secret road near his house.

Knowing that Chu Yuanshan vowed to take the opportunity to destroy Zhao Qing'an, who was the prince's "clans", Chu Ruoxi certainly could not sit idly by. In her subconsciously, she had regarded Zhao Qing'an as her relatives.

After a detailed discussion with Zhao Qing'an, he advised him not to catch up with this muddy water and avoid its edge first. It's better to go back to the border to protect himself.

Zhao Qing'an refused and wondered why Chu Ruoxi did this and betrayed his father.

Chu Ruoxi said, "The emperor treated the Chu family well, and his father was loyal to the emperor, but he was inevitably provoked by the villain and might do something unfavorable to the general. I persuaded him for the emperor's country and the future of the prince. How could he betray his father?"

Zhao Qing'an felt that what Chu Ruoxi said was reasonable, and she was the crown princess, and it was reasonable to seek a future for the prince. Thinking about it, she agreed.

Not long after, someone participated in Zhao Qing'an's office poorly. The south gate released robbers into the city and burned several houses.

The prince was furious and severely blamed Zhao Qing'an. He also asked for an order to be demoted two levels in a row and sent to Xiqi as a border guard.

Two horses went out of the gate and walked under the locust tree. The young man in purple did not move. He looked back at the towering capital and swept over the city wall, as if he was reluctant to leave, and seemed to be looking for someone.

"Qing'an, don't look, alas! Traitors are in charge, and there is no place for loyal people in the court. Let's go."

Zhao Qing'an's eyes flowed with a trace of loss. The banners were displayed on the tower, and the soldiers shuttled back and forth. He laughed at himself that she should have been a fairy of the Heavenly Palace. What was her identity?

"Brother Che, let's go."

Turning around the big locust tree, the capital can't see it. Those people and those things may no longer have anything to do with themselves.

The afterglow of the sunset turned the earth into warm golden, and the source of the car running in front made an exclamation and suddenly stopped: "Qing'an, look..."

A stunning woman on the side of the official road looked at Zhao Qing'an with a smile. On the grass slope not far away, Qiao Alin quietly looked at the grass-eating horses and occasionally glanced at the roadside.

"Miss Chu!"

Zhao Qing'an was a little excited, jumped off the horse and walked up to Chu Ruoxi, arching his hands: "I've seen the crown princess."

Chu Ruoxi said with a smile, "General Zhao, call me Ruoxi. There are no outsiders here."

She said to Che Yuan, who saluted respectfully, "General Che, I have something to talk to General Zhao in private."

Che Yuan privately felt that Zhao Qing'an was too close to the daughter of the treacherous minister, the crown princess, which was not a good thing, and the princess was young, but it was far from as simple as she appeared.

"Brother Che, please rest for a moment, and Qing'an will leave later."

Chu Ruoxi saw Che Yuan's alertness to her. Her eyes flowed, smiled at him, and walked to the river not far from the official road.

When the river wind came, Chu Ruoxi's gauze clothes danced with the wind, and the faint fragrance floated in the air. Zhao Qing'an looked at her, took a deep breath and followed.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Chu Ruoxi handed the veil in his hand to Zhao Qing'an, "Ruoxi asked the general. I don't know if the general has any eyebrows."

She came straight to the point without concealing, making Zhao Qing'an feel that she was honest with herself and had nothing to hide.

But can you say what you know?

In those years, this phoenix only appeared at home once, and my father moved the whole family. This phoenix is absolutely not small, and now it has something to do with the unspeakable Miss Chu.

Chu Ruoxi stared at Zhao Qing'an silently. Seeing his uncertain look, he suspected that he was likely to know something.

"To be honest. This matter has a lot to do with Ruoxi. If the general hears anything, please let me know.

Zhao Qing'an folded the veil and sent it back to Chu Ruoxi, "Tai... Miss Ruoxi, Qing'an's eyes are clumsy and have never seen anything related to this phoenix. Qing'an is a rough person. Looking at this veil, it's just a phoenix bird in the painting. Why does Miss Ruoxi care so much about the things in this painting?"

Chu Ruoxi was a little disappointed, but Zhao Qing'an's dodged eyes betrayed his heart and concealed something, so he was more likely to be the person he was looking for.

"This phoenix is a relic of the previous dynasty, which is what Ruoxi has been looking for. Since the general has no clue, Ruoxi will find another way."

Zhao Qing'an looked at Chu Ruoxi and suddenly felt inappropriate and looked away. "The earth is big. If you want to say the most source of treasures, it is naturally in the inner courtyard of the imperial city. In the hands of the emperor, it is not easy for Ruoxi to think of such a relic of the previous dynasty."

His words did not seem to be joking. Chu Ruoxi heard a faint sourness from his words, as if it were a compliment, but it sounded more like envying the prince.

She looked at the remnant sun and finally disappeared in the mountains, and her heart also had a feeling of sinking. In order to be Qi, in order to find her best relatives, she made a bet once.

Chu Ruoxi suddenly turned around and stared at him, "General Zhao, what seems easy to get is the most difficult to find. I don't know when to say goodbye today. Ruoxi only asks you one thing. If the general doesn't want to say it, you can not say it, but please don't lie to me."

Zhao Qing'an's face became solemn. Looking at the little girl with a shorter head in front of him, he felt that he could not be overwhelmed.

The two were silent with each other, and only the wind stirred the dark hair and danced in the air. For a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and nodded, "Please say it."

Chu Ruoxi was secretly relieved, "General, have you heard of Phoenix eating blood?"

Zhao Qing'an frowned and shook his head and said affirmatively, "No."

"Has the general ever seen this phoenix appear?"

“......”

Silence, long silence.

"Ruoxi knows. Thank you, General. It's a long way to the west. Take care of yourself."

Chu Ruoxi waved to Qiao Alin and said to Zhao Qing'an, "It's getting late. Let's say goodbye."

Looking at Chu Ruoxi's horse and leaving, Zhao Qing'an suddenly said, "I've seen it, but Qing'an said something disrespectful. Please don't pursue it again. It's very dangerous."

As for what the danger was, Zhao Qing'an himself did not know, but subconsciously told him that he could not put her in danger.

"Thank you, General." Chu Ruoxi is a thriller, he has really seen it!" This is very important to Ruoxi. No matter how dangerous it is, Ruoxi vows to find it.

Four horses strapped in two directions and finally disappeared into each other's eyes.

Chu Ruoxi returned to the Duke of Dingguo, held her excitement and told Qiao Alin, "During this period, you should keep a good look at Zhao Qing'an's old house in the capital. Be careful not to be noticed."

Zhao Qing'an did not lie to himself. He may really not know that Phoenix eats blood, but Zhao Qing'an's parents must have hidden something from him.

The next day, the maid Yunmei trotted back from the front hall happily, "His Royal Highness's car will arrive soon. The master ordered the lady to dress up quickly and pick her up in the front hall."
