Then she sat down and began to make up a story: "Last night, the emperor, the prince, and Princess Fuyan were watching the moon and chatting. During the conversation, the emperor said with a smile that in the common people, men had to support their families, but now in the court, it is the daughters who earn money to support the family. Do you have anything to say? The prince left in shame, and that night he had a dream. In the dream, the gods said that they were moved by the prince's filial piety and came to give him money. So they recited two lines of poetry, and the prince remembered it clearly when he woke up!"

She pointed at Xu Wenqu with her hand: "Poetry."

Xu Wenqu: "..."

Yan Shiyue continued, "Then the prince followed the poem and found the Yong'an River, Biezhi Moor, and indeed found a silver house under the water."

Emperor Ming Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not speak.

Then Xu Wenqu began to compose a poem for her... In the end, Yan Shiyue still said the same thing: "It's too flowery! You have to make it so that those illiterate people can remember it right away, so that there won't be any bias in public opinion!"

She thought for a moment and chanted two lines: "The jade pestle for pounding medicine is worth a ton of gold, and its nest is found in the water."

The three intellectuals could not bear to listen: "..."

Yan Shiyue nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, all seven words! I also have the talent to be a poet! I can speak eloquently! That's it!"

Then she asked the shadow guard to spread the rumor.

...

...

The shadow guard pretending to be the prince was also found, and at first glance he did look somewhat similar.

The two of them changed into gorgeous clothes, took a carriage, and went to the water's edge.

Then Huo Qijing secretly ordered the Shenwu Army to disperse slightly, and diverted water to wash the tin house clean and shiny... So the people who were watching from afar saw the man and woman in gorgeous clothes in the middle, saluting towards the river and then towards the imperial city.

At this time, the shadow guard had already spread the fresh rumor quickly.

At a time when everyone was wondering "What on earth happened!", the rumor spread throughout the city like a plague.

Emperor Ming Yan and his men were listening upstairs the entire time. They heard that originally there was only one person talking, then ten people, and then everyone was talking...

The jade pestle for pounding medicine is worth tens of thousands of gold, the nest is to be found on the branches in the water... This is a very doggerel-like poem, but it really has the power to brainwash people.

Because it is so simple, people can understand it instantly. Oh, it turns out this is the god's pestle, no wonder it has a long handle!

Moreover, many people already knew that the emperor was in the palace, and with the help of this rumor, it was easy to guess the identities of the man and woman in gorgeous clothes. In the excitement of "I saw the prince and Empress Fu", people kept spreading the rumor.

Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "I am indeed old-fashioned. At times like this, Yue Er's poems are the only ones that can work."

Emperor Mingyan laughed and said, "This child is not good at studying, but he is very smart in everything else."

You know, there are reeds growing on this Biezhibo for many years. Everyone in Hedao Town has seen it. If it weren't for the help of the gods, who could dig out silver from under the reeds? You have to believe it! It's more real than real gold!

After the play was over and Yan Shiyue left the stage, the Shenwu Army dragged the tin house to a place away from the people and made a small hole in it.

The inside of the tin house is made of wood, like a huge box, covered with tin for waterproofing. Perhaps because of the shaking during the process, the silver was scattered all over the floor.

Huo Qijing jumped in, picked out some that looked similar, and then showed one to Emperor Ming Yan: "There are indeed some real and some fake."

Emperor Ming Yan nodded.

Then he asked Xu Wenqu to stay and help with the matter, and the group walked slowly towards the palace.

Yan Shiyue ordered his men to wait until Wei Qing finished the tin painting before escorting him to Chang'an, while Jiang Henbie was secretly escorted to Chang'an directly.

But until now, Yan Shiyue still didn't know why Jiang Henbie refused to tell him where the silver was hidden... So there must be a third person who knew this place, and this person must be someone Jiang Henbie cared about.

This can only be left to the shadow guard to investigate.

Before they arrived at the palace, the prince heard the news that he had been enlightened by a fairy and that a fairy's medicine pestle had been dug out at the bottom of the river. There was also a vivid scene of the prince and Fu Yan thanking the river god.

The prince, who had never left the palace, held up his head and laughed for a quarter of an hour.

You don't have to think about it to know that this was Yan Shiyue's work.

Liu Songcheng had just finished impeaching the prince when the gods awarded him silver "out of gratitude for the prince's admirable filial piety". This was a slap in the face, so loud!

That's why he said that if he got Yan Shiyue, he would get the world. He wouldn't have to do anything at all. His silly sister would protect her wholeheartedly.

We did not rush on the return trip. We walked leisurely, enjoying the scenery along the way. We even rested at the post station for a night. We did not return to the palace until almost noon the next day.

As soon as Emperor Ming Yan returned, all officials went to pay him a visit.

Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing went straight back to Changle Palace. Linlang and the wet nurse came out with the child in their arms. Yan Shiyue simply pounced on them: "Baby, I miss you so much!"

The six-month-old baby's head was already able to stand up straight. He looked at her with a pair of black eyes. After a long while, he burst into tears and lay on her shoulder, crying loudly.

Yan Shiyue's heart was broken by his crying, and she kept coaxing him: "Jiaozi, don't cry! My dear, don't cry!"

On the contrary, the little Nian Gao in Huo Qijing's arms didn't cry. He just looked at her, then looked at his father, then looked at her again, then looked at his father again, and then he opened his arms and asked her to hug him.

Yan Shiyue glanced proudly and took it. Huo Qijing held the child's butt with his hand and looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Qiongju smiled and said, "It is indeed the master's child. He is so smart that he can still recognize people after such a long time!"

Linlang also laughed and said, "She's just a little old, but she's acting like she's sensible. When you guys first left, she cried for two days. She was lying there by herself, nothing happened, but she started crying just thinking about it... Poor thing, she kept trying to go to the bedroom, as if she knew that was where you lived."

A group of people gathered around them and talked.

They kissed each other all afternoon but still couldn't get enough, so at night Yan Shiyue brought the child over to sleep with them... But the child needed to be fed at night, and after searching for the baby but couldn't find it, he burst into tears.

One cried, and the other followed suit. They each held one in their arms and turned around in circles in the room. Fortunately, the wet nurse took over and finally coaxed the child into silence.

Seeing the two children hugging others' arms without any care, eating sweetly with their little mouths wrapped around each other, Yan Shiyue's eyes turned red. After entering the room, she lay in Huo Qijing's arms: "The children don't like me anymore! I hate Aye!"

Huo Qijing smiled and patted her on the back. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he raised his head abruptly, looking out the window.

The next moment, a shadow guard whistled, Huo Qijing grabbed her and leaped to the nurse's side like flying. Yan Shiyue stood in front of the child, listening to the shouting and fighting outside. Half a minute later, Jia He's voice said, "Master, we caught an assassin."

Yan Shiyue and the other person looked at each other.

So, this should be the "third person" they are looking for, right?
