Xicheng, Cao Mansion, front hall.

Cao Yin was wearing an official uniform, crawling on the ground, kneeling to listen to the imperial edict. The person who came to pass the edict was Yin De, the first-class guard in front of the imperial edict.

Not only was Cao Yin, who received the order, was a little confused, but Yin De, who was sending the order, was also confused. The sage was still on the imperial boat and it would take a few days before he could return to Changchun Garden, but he was asked to send the order.

Along with the imperial edict, a big red wool rain jacket and a grape green wool rain jacket were also given.

Cao Yin took over the decree and bowed his head again.

After the order was sent, Yin De helped Cao Yin up and said, "Get up quickly, the emperor has already made an oral order, so Lord Cao doesn't have to kneel down to answer."

Cao Yin bowed and said, "The emperor raised his word, but Cao did not dare to mess with the rules. He worked hard all the way, so please sit down and have tea."

While talking, the two of them sat down with the host and the servant brought tea.

Yin De took the teacup, sniffed under his nose, and smiled and said, "It is said that there is good tea in the mansion, but now it seems that it is not a rumor. It turns out that the tea smells so good that it is refreshing."

Cao Yin said: "It turns out that the adults are also tea lovers, but they borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Please don't dislike mediocrity." As he said that, he asked someone to go down and prepare tea bags for Yin De.

Yin De just praised casually. Seeing Cao Yin so polite, he felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "Sir, don't have to do this. Good tea and me are also ruined. Today, I have gained a new look."

Cao Yin waved his hand and said, "Sir, don't refuse. It's not a valuable thing. It's just that people praise it in recent years, and their value has doubled. To be honest, Cao is still used to drinking bun tea and feels it's best for the spleen and stomach."

After hearing this, Yin De couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "To be honest, I think the tumbled tea has a strong taste and can relieve greasiness. Although this green tea is fragrant, it is a little light."

After saying a few gossips, the atmosphere was much more harmonious than it was just now.

Yin De remembered something and said, "By the way, the emperor asked the emperor to tell the lord that the sixteenth prince had gone to Rehe to serve as a service."

When Cao Yin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Sixteenth Master has gone to Rehe?"

"Well, I got off the boat three days ago and calculated the days. I almost arrived at Rehe." Yin De replied.

Cao Yin's eyes looked at the two rain jackets, but his body couldn't help but tremble.

Kangxi ordered the order to send an order as a cover, but in fact he was the sentence that the sixteenth prince had already gone to Rehe...

Wang Xiying, the emperor is here.

This morning, Kangxi got off the imperial boat from Yuanjiakou, walked by land, and stationed in Wangxiying.

In the evening, it started to rain.

The lanterns were already in Kangxi's imperial tent, and two charcoal pots were lit in the corner, but they could not dispel the chill caused by the spring rain.

Kangxi sat on the soft couch, listening to the sound of raindrops outside, suddenly felt lonely. He raised his head and said to Wei Zhu who was standing next to him: "Where is Xiao Shiliu? Why haven't you seen him for half a day? It's said he's coming!"

Wei Zhu was surprised, but she squeezed out a smile on her face and bowed and replied, "Master, Master Sixteenth Master is heading to Rehe."

After hearing this, Kangxi remembered that he had sent the Sixteenth Prince to Rehe, waved his hand, and said, "Travel the Twelfth Prince, come here."

"Yeah!" Wei Zhu responded and withdrew to summon the twelfth prince.

This time, when the Holy Lord visited the capital, there were only the Twelfth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince's escorts. Because the Twelfth Prince was a little dull and was not favored by the Sixteenth Prince, he was also self-aware. Without a summoning, he could not easily wander around Kangxi's eyes.

Seeing Wei Zhu coming to summon him, although he didn't know what happened, the twelfth prince still followed him tremblingly.

Kangxi looked at his son, pointed to the stool in front of him, and said, "Get close, grind ink."

"My son obeys the order." The twelfth prince responded, walked to the imperial court, sat down with his head down, and his hands holding the ink strip were shaking slightly.

Kangxi glanced at his son a few times and saw the stars in his braids hanging behind his head (what dots of them? Raindrops?), and he couldn't help but frown.

The Twelve Prince was already trembling and noticed that the Emperor's father looked at him, and became more nervous. When his wrist swayed, ink splashed out, dirtying the folds spread on the table.

"My son is guilty of death!" The twelfth prince turned over and knelt down and kowtowed.

Kangxi was quite surprised when he saw this. He looked at the twelfth prince for a while and said, "Is I a tyrant? Is my son so afraid of me?"

After hearing this, the twelfth prince shook his head and said, "The emperor is the most kind, and he is a foolish minister."

Kangxi looked at his face and asked, "I ordered my uncle to be killed. Do you blame me?"

The twelfth prince showed a look of pain on his face, and his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Kangxi sighed, but was indifferent and said, "Kneel down and rest!"

The twelfth prince raised his head and whispered: "Emperor Ahma, it's my uncle who has let down the holy grace. If he dies, how dare he be resentful? Erchen, I'm afraid... Erchen is afraid of being rejected by Emperor Ahma..." At the end of his speech, he choked up and spoke.

Listening to his son's depressing cry, Kangxi's expression slowed down a little, and suddenly a poem came to his mind:

Under the stage of planting melons, the melons are ripe and seeds are separated.

Once you pick the melons, then pick it to make the melons sparse.

Three picks are still acceptable, and four picks are hugging the vines back.

Other people's sons compete with ten, but they have ten sons on their own, and they seem to be useless.

He abandoned the best son, the son he taught himself. The remaining sons were only afraid of him and less close to him.

Although I have been a lonely person all my life, I feel more and more lonely as I get older.

"Relax your mind and work hard. You are my son and my flesh and blood. You have never alienated your own flesh and blood because of a slave." Kangxi rubbed his forehead and said to the twelfth prince: "In the future, you should abide by your duty. Don't mix with what you shouldn't be involved..."

Rehe, Chunwang Mansion Garden.

Cao Yong looked at the sixteenth prince in front of him and was overjoyed.

The sixteenth prince raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and hit Cao Yong hard, and joked: "Why, I haven't seen you for half a month, I just miss you like this?"

Cao Yong asked with a smile: "There is no news, but it is surprisingly tight."

The sixteenth prince turned his body, pointed backwards, and said, "Look at who else?"

Cao Yong looked up and saw a man coming out of the accompanying guards and kneeling on one knee. Who was not Cao Song?

Cao Yong hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up. He looked at him carefully, but he was covered in dirt: "Is he in a hurry to go?"

"Isn't it! It took less than three and a half days to get from the Circle to Rehe. If you change horses and don't change people, you will almost catch up to the northwest." Cao Songhan smiled and replied.

After hearing this, Cao Yong looked at the Sixteenth Prince with a puzzled look.

The sixteenth prince looked down at his body and said, "It's so dirty. Cao Yong, please let someone boil water. You have to change your clothes first so that you can feel comfortable talking."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yong hurriedly asked someone to boil water and prepare food.

Cao Song stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother, Master Sixteenth has washed it on the way, but we haven't changed our clothes for three days, and everyone is looking forward to hot water."

The guards who followed the Sixteenth Prince, including those who were beside the Sixteenth Prince and those who were in the guard office. Cao Yong exchanged a few greetings with everyone and asked Cao Song to take everyone down to take a shower and change clothes.

Qin Gui, Cao Fang and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I have been safe these two days, it is really worrying.

Cao Fang arrived yesterday and came with him, including Suoqi, the manager of the Prince of Ping County. It was inconvenient for the Cao family to leave the capital, so Cao Yin and Prince of Ping County Nersu talked about Cao Yong's affairs, which led to Suoqi leaving the capital.

Soqi is an old man from the Prince of Ping's Mansion. He went out of the capital with Prince of Ping's handwritten letters. He not only used the people in the garden here, but also borrowed people from other houses in the palaces.

Even so, it still makes people feel worried, for fear of negligence and something that cannot be taken into account.

This is an extra prince, but it is different.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the Sixteenth Prince is here, the security guards around this area will be tighter.

After a while, everyone had already finished bathing and changing clothes, and the wine and food were all served. Cao Yong asked Cao Song to accompany the guards to have a banquet, while he was in the quiet room of the upper room to accompany the sixteenth prince to have a drink.

The sixteenth prince's close servant Zhao Feng wanted to follow him to serve. Seeing that his face was pale and he couldn't stand steadily, he said, "Okay, okay, I want to have a good drink with you Mr. Cao. Look at your bitter face, it's a disgusting thing. Go down and have a meal!"

Zhao Feng went down now. Cao Yong saw that he was walking incorrectly and asked Xiaoman to send some medicine.

There were only two left in the room, including the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong. The Sixteenth Prince tilted his neck, looked at Cao Yong, reached out to touch his forehead, and said, "Come on, let me see what precious things are in this head worth ten thousand gold! Tsk tsk, but I was moved by it. One tael of gold, ten taels of silver, that is a full hundred thousand taels of taels of gold. Even a prince of Heshuo would have to last ten years before he could get the money."

Cao Yong's scalp was numb by the Sixteenth Prince touching him. He hurriedly pushed his arm away and said with a smile: "What a good boy Shancai, Master Sixteenth Prince is willing to cut his head. Wouldn't that kill a chicken to get the egg?"

The sixteenth prince glanced at him and said, "Look, you are so proud. Isn't this because of your precious life, the life of a boy Shancai, you are here to be a guardian?"

Cao Yong was quite surprised when he heard this.

The sixteenth prince said in a hurry, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chopstick and roe deer meat, and put it in his mouth, saying, "It's all the same delicacies of wild game. When you eat it here, you always feel more authentic than the one in Beijing."

Cao Yong touched the wine pot and saw that it was almost warm, so he poured a glass for the Sixteenth Prince and said, "The Sixteenth Master rushed over and was exhausted, so he drank two cups of wine to relieve his fatigue."

The sixteenth prince picked up the wine cup, took a sip, looked at Cao Yong curiously and said, "Is this the sun hitting the west side? In the past, you kept advising me not to drink."

Cao Yong also gave himself a full load, and then shook the wine pot in front of the sixteenth prince and said, "A total of four taels of wine is used to relax the muscles and promote blood circulation."

The sixteenth prince stretched and stretched his body hard, leaned into the chair, and said, "What's going on? Is there any eyebrows? The emperor said vaguely, saying that a villain wanted to murder you and caused a farce of a thousand-month reward. I'm still confused now."

Cao Yong smiled bitterly. How much more does he know here than the Sixteenth Prince?

He told the Sixteenth Prince everything he knew and guessed.

The Sixteenth Prince listened carefully, but he was also angry.

After saying this, Cao Yong said to the Sixteenth Prince: "I just sent a note yesterday, but it happened to be yours. Everything else is easy to say, just to be a bustle. I am really worried about Chu Yu and Tianhui. What if I scare them, how can I have a good life? Sixteenth Prince is here to live in the palace this time. Can you find a ritual so that the mother and mother can live in too?"

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he couldn't help but give Cao Yong a blank look and said, "Look at your mother-in-law's strength, you can't be more enjoyable, but let the Emperor Ama guess. The Emperor Ama said, when you encounter such a thing, the most worrying designation is the safety of your wife and daughter. But you don't know how to make adjustments. Even if you know how to send them to the palace, you can make them safe. You won't give them before you get the sacrificial order. You are really, even if you give them first, then write a confession to the Emperor Ama, isn't it the same?"

What does it mean to be arrogant because of favor? Dead first and then report, which means to be arrogant because of favor.

Those who were once powerful and popular ministers, who did not kill first and then report, became death talismans for the crime.

"Anyway, with the Sixteenth Master coming, I can sleep peacefully." Cao Yong drank the glass of wine and smiled, "Now, it's time to lean on the big tree to enjoy the cool air."
