Chang Zuo knew that it was probably not a false accusation. After all, if Helian Yu was really a devil, it was reasonable for him to do such a thing as raising pigs. "Fourth Prince, please be patient. Chang Zuo doesn't know whether it is a false accusation or not. We will know the answer in three months."

"I am waiting."

When Helian Chi waved his sleeves and turned to leave, the girl stopped him.

"Fourth Prince! I know a way to make pork lose its smell!"

Helian Chi paused, his eyes fell on the woman who blocked his way, he looked her up and down, and asked, "I don't eat pork, if you have such a method, you should go to the butchers and hunters, not me."

As he spoke, Helian Chi lifted his robe and got on the carriage.

The woman was afraid of missing the opportunity, so she hurriedly stopped him and said, "I have a family military strategy! I want to present it to Your Highness!"

"Art of War?" Helian Chi finally showed some interest. "Come up and talk."

The woman was delighted and quickly stepped onto the horse stool and got into the luxurious carriage with light and joyful steps.

Before leaving, Helian Chi lifted the small curtain of the carriage and said, "Chang Zuo, I am 99% sure that it was Xiao Yu'er who did it."

"As long as it's not 100% certain, you are slandering me." Chang Zuo, a man who seldom lies, lied with difficulty.

Helian Chi lowered the curtain: "Zhuo Liu, go back home!"

After the carriage left, Chang Zuo clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and bowed: "Amitabha, may the young master bless you."

The carriages passed through the long street, and the noise echoed in my ears.

"Where is the ancestral military strategy you mentioned?"

The woman's eyes flickered. "In my mind. War is a major issue for a country. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and destruction. We must pay close attention to it."

She recited two sentences, and Helian Chi's eyes darkened slightly.

Isn’t this the "Art of War" sent by Helian Yu?

"Yes, you have a good point." Helian Chi did not expose her, "Miss, do you know anything else?"

"Movable type printing! Clay movable type! Soap! Perfume! Whitening powder" the woman listed them all, "My family has many secret recipes handed down from our ancestors, which can help Your Highness collect all the money in the world!"

Helian Chi looked at her with a hint of pity. He was a prince, why did he collect all the wealth in the world? What he coveted was that position.

"What's your name, girl?"

"I am Ruan Luo, and I came of age last month." Ruan Luo looked at Helian Chi shyly, "My father is a minor seventh-rank official in the capital."

"If I remember correctly, you just said in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion that you were an orphan."

When Helian Chi heard the word "seventh rank", he instantly recalled what Helian Yu had written about his "romantic experience and lifelong regrets" with the daughter of a seventh-rank official in Beijing, and he became alert.

"I had no choice but to do that just now. I want to take the Imperial Master as my teacher..." Ruan Luo explained with her head lowered, her face even slightly red.

Helian Chi didn't know what she was thinking, but he sensed that the atmosphere was not right. It seemed that Miss Ruan had misunderstood something, so he shouted to Zhuo Liu to stop the car.

"Where is Miss Ruan's home? I will take you back first."

Ruan Luo's eyes became even softer: "It's just ahead on Cuiwei Street. Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Helian Chi felt uncomfortable all over. He felt that Ruan Luo was like a fairy in a storybook who seduced scholars. It was very strange.

This strangeness completely offset his curiosity about Ruan Luo's words.

He originally wanted to take her back home and interrogate her, but now... he wanted to let her go.

Among all the women he had met, none was as... overly watery-eyed and shy as Miss Ruan.

"Zhuo Liu! Cuiwei Street!"

Helian Chi's obviously uneasy command reminded Zhuo Liu, and Zhuo Liu quickly accelerated the carriage and headed for Cuiwei Street.

After seeing Ruan Luo off the car, Helian Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, if I have a better idea, can I go to your mansion to find you?" Ruan Luo smiled at Helian Chi with her eyes curved.

"Zhuo Liu, go back home."

Zhuo Liu turned the carriage around and headed towards the Fourth Prince's Palace.

Helian Chi pinched his brows lightly, he knew very well that this Miss Ruan Luo had an extraordinary background, but he had no desire to get close to her.

The look in Miss Ruan's eyes was as if she wanted to strip him naked, which was particularly creepy.

"Zhuo Liu, go back and get a carrier pigeon. I want to send a letter to Zhaoyang County."

"I understand." - It's halfway through the night and the cicadas are chirping.

“Hmm…”

Helian Yu rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed. She felt a dull stinging pain in the soles of her feet and could not help but hiss.

Chang An hurriedly got up from the chair, knelt beside the bed, and looked guilty: "The master's feet are blistered, it's Chang An's fault."

"I don't blame you. It's mainly because the wheat fields are vast and the paths are difficult to walk on."

Helian Yu lowered her head to look at her red feet, which were covered with small blisters. She couldn't bear to look at them, so she covered her feet with a silk quilt.

"You don't need to blame yourself." Helian Yu waved his hand generously and asked, "Is there dinner? I'm hungry."

"Please wait a moment. Xingchun just went to get it."

After dinner, Helian Yu covered himself with the quilt and lay down to sleep peacefully.

Chang'an cleaned up the dishes, closed the door and left the room with Xingchun.

"My master's foot is in pain. I'm afraid I can't go to the birthday party of the old lady of the Feng family." Xingchun looked at Chang'an, "I will talk to my master about this tomorrow."

"The old lady of the Feng family is over ninety years old, a rare long-lived old lady. Originally, the master wanted to meet her, but the master has met with misfortune, so the meeting with the old lady has to be put on hold."

Since ancient times, there have been few people over the age of 70, even fewer over the age of 80, and only one in ten thousand over the age of 100.

If an elderly person in a family can live to be a hundred years old, he or she will have the opportunity to be summoned by the emperor and have a glimpse of his face.

The old lady of the Feng family was over 90 years old, so it was no big deal for the princess to meet her, and it was even a good thing.

It's a pity that good things come to those who wait.

The next day, Helian Yu's feet didn't hurt so much. After applying the medicine, she was too lazy to put on her shoes. Wherever she wanted to go, she had to rely on Chang An to carry her on his back.

"Master, you can't walk now. Do you want to postpone the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Feng family? Just send some birthday gifts like Ruyi?"

Helian Yu held fish food in his hand, crossed his legs, and sat on the small soft couch, throwing fish food into the pool under the pavilion to feed the fish: "Don't delay, there are still three days before Madam Feng's birthday banquet, my leg should be almost healed. I'll take you to the banquet! Is there anything new recently?"

"Recently, a big thief was caught in Zhaoyang County, and Your Highness also knows this person." Chang An bent down and straightened Helian Yu's legs to prevent her from scratching her feet.

"Who? Is it... the second brother or the fourth brother?"

Chang An: ? "Why would the master think of the Second and Fourth Princes?" Chang An didn't understand.

"My second brother yearns to be free and easy, and wants to venture into the underworld. He might play the role of a thief. Everyone in the capital is familiar to him, so he can't let go. It's different in Zhaoyang County. If I catch him, I can still let him go because of our old friendship."

Chang An: “…”

"As for the fourth brother, he is insidious and cunning. He probably won't come in person. He may send Zhuo Liu."

"If that's the case, then it's possible that the Crown Prince sent Zhou Shan!"

"And Master! He sent Chang Zuo!"

"besides--"

"Master, it's not them." Chang An hurriedly stopped his master from reporting the names of people who were "offending" him, "It was Young Hero Luo Qingluo who had been in the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Helian Yu blinked, a little confused: "Who is Luo Qing? Why can't I remember?"
