Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 12
Fu Mingjue is not in the mansion, Ling Youyao has no chance to please him, a clever woman can't cook without rice, and now she can only wait for Fu Mingjue to come back.

The fact that the ordnance shipped to Liangzhou was stolen caused a great disturbance in the court.

No one would have thought that the black iron ordnance that cost a lot of money would be sold under the nose. If King Jing hadn't discovered the clues by personally patrolling the camp, those low-quality ordnance would have already left the capital.

As soon as this incident happened, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were suspended for investigation, and all the people in charge of guarding the ordnance were sent to prison.
Gu Baiyan, the Minister of Dali Temple who was ordered to assist in the investigation of the case, chased after Fu Mingjue after leaving the imperial study.

"My lord, I have a few questions I would like to ask you."

Fu Mingjue had known that he would come, so he asked, "What does Mr. Gu want to ask?"

"When the prince captured Zhao Ming, besides the tea house, did he ask other clues?" Gu Baiyan carefully looked at the young man's face.

In fact, when Jiang Liu sent the man to Dali Temple, he also handed over Zhao Ming's pleading paper, but there was nothing else except the place where the ordnance was hidden.

Fu Mingjue said calmly: "Zhao Ming is just a young man, if he wants to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, he has to start from the teahouse."

Speaking of the teahouse, Gu Baiyan encountered another difficulty: "I have checked Huang Xu, and his background is clean. He bought that teahouse five years ago. The business has been flat these years, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

The owner of the teahouse, Huang Xu, is just an ordinary businessman, with a total family property of only 10,000+ taels. He also checked Huang Xu's three clans and people who have been in contact with him in the past year, but found no clues.

When Fu Mingjue heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "The cleaner it is, the more things can be checked."

Gu Baiyan was confused, and wanted to ask more details, but Fu Mingjue said: "Master Gu, it looks like it's going to rain, you should go back quickly, don't let your clothes get wet."

After all, Fu Mingjue got into the carriage first.

"My lord." Gu Baiyan stood in front of the palace gate, hesitating.

What else can I ask after catching up?Even if he asked, could Fu Mingjue tell him?
It didn't take long for the sky, which was still sunny just now, to have dark clouds and strong winds to blow away the heat.

Gu Baiyan rolled up his sleeves, thinking of going home, but when he thought of a hot case in hand, he turned around and walked towards Dali Temple.

The summer rain always comes in a hurry, and the big raindrops are crackling, and there is no place to take shelter from the rain.

Just when Gu Baiyan wanted to run to Dali Temple to hide from the rain, there was a sudden ringing of a car bell behind him.

The green hooded carriage stopped in front of him, and a person came out of the window: "Master Gu is going to Dali Temple, right? I just happened to drop by, so I'll see you off?"

The rain came and went quickly.

When Fu Mingjue returned to the palace, the rain had stopped.

After Ling Youyao received the news, she helped the hairpin on her temples, and said to Lu Bao: "Go, bring your things, let's go see the prince."

Lu Bao responded, took the pastry that was just made at noon, and went out with Ling Youyao.

When Xia Cheng saw Ling Youyao, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Princess, are you here? The lord just came back, and the subordinates are going to report."

Ling Youyao stopped him: "No need, I'll just go in by myself."

Xia Cheng smiled and stepped out of the way.

Entering the main courtyard, Ling Youyao found that there were almost no flowers and plants in the courtyard, only a solitary peach tree standing in the courtyard.

The tree is full of pink and tender fruits, which are big and round, and it should be carefully maintained by someone.

Unexpectedly, Fu Mingjue would plant fruit trees in the yard looking at Leng Bingbing alone.

Ling Youyao stood under the tree and looked at it for a while. Some fruits were pecked by birds, and some were overripe and fell heavily on the branches.

"Lu Bao, have you ever had peach-flavored tea?" Ling Youyao asked suddenly.

Green Treasure didn't understand: "Apart from the taste of tea, does tea have other flavors?"

"Of course there is." Ling Youyao thought of fruit tea and fell into memories, "That kind of tea not only has the fragrance of tea, but also the sweetness of peaches."

Lu Bao listened carefully and couldn't imagine what kind of tea the princess was talking about.

"Not only peach-flavored tea, but also Sydney-flavored tea, and..."

Ling Youyao listed dozens of fruit teas in a row, forgetting why she came to the main courtyard.

Lu Bao looked at her girl's eyes like a hungry wolf, and said quietly: "Princess, you don't want to pick the prince's peaches, do you?"

"I'm thinking about it." Ling Youyao admitted generously.

Emerald: "."

This peach is not fun to pick.

Fu Mingjue had heard that Ling Youyao had come in a long time ago, he waited in the room for a long time but didn't see anyone, when he came out to see, it turned out that he was thinking about his peach.

The little girl stood under the tree, looking eagerly at the peaches that were full of trees. She was wearing a light green skirt and pink embroidered shoes.

Fu Mingjue thought: Looking at it this way, she looks like a peach.

Ling Youyao didn't know that in someone's heart, she was like a peach, and she secretly missed this peach tree, thinking that when Fu Mingjue was not around, she would pick two and taste it.

What a peach, no one picks it, what a waste!
Ling Youyao looked away, remembering that there was still business to do, so she said, "Let's go, let's pick peaches next time."

"Ah." Lu Bao had a bitter face, "Is there a next time?"

If the prince knew about it, she would not be able to bear the anger.

Ling Youyao didn't take it seriously, and took the food box from Lu Bao's hand: "Well, just wait for me outside."

After speaking, he walked in with brisk steps.

Ling Youyao stood at the door of the study with the food box in her hand, and knocked lightly on the door: "My lord, are you there?"

A moment later, Fu Mingjue's unwavering voice came from inside: "Come in."

Ling Youyao pushed the door open and went in.

The study room was full of books. Fu Mingjue was sitting at the desk, writing something with his head down.

Ling Youyao carefully put the cakes in front of Fu Mingjue like feeding a beast: "My lord, you have worked hard, I brought you some snacks, you can try it"

Fu Mingjue didn't look up at her, but said: "I don't eat sweets, take it back and eat it yourself."

Ling Youyao: "."

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "My lord, shall I grind ink for you?"

Fu Mingjue ignored her, but silently made room for her.

Ling Youyao is satisfied, and her red sleeves add fragrance, isn't that true?
While studying ink, she read Fu Mingjue's official document.

Fu Mingjue's handwriting is beautiful, vigorous, and flowing. Compared with her ghostly calligraphy, it is simply a world of difference.

Sometimes, watching a person write is also a kind of enjoyment.

Ling Youyao was very engrossed in watching it, as if after reading it, she knew it.

Feeling someone's hot gaze, Fu Mingjue said, "The Ling family has been scholarly for generations, and the famous Huai'an layman came from the Ling family. Your father's calligraphy was also praised by the late emperor."

Ling Youyao had a bad feeling, why tell her this?

Then Fu Mingjue said: "Thinking about it, you shouldn't be too bad."
