After soaking white paper in alcohol, coded messages appeared on the paper.
After reading the coded message, Yang Yang was so shocked that he didn't move for a long time.
...
Looking at Mu Run, who had fallen asleep beside him, Fu Yunchen got up and got off the bed.
The stars outside were bright, and the chirping of insects added a touch of peace to the quiet night.
Suddenly, a dark cloud obscured the stars, and even the chirping of insects sounded mournful.
Fu Yunchen's ears twitched slightly, his eyes narrowed, he changed into his bathrobe, and went out.
After he left, Mu Run opened her eyes, looked at the pillow beside her that was now empty, turned over, and held her breath, listening to the sounds around her.
Amidst the clear chirping of insects, she heard familiar footsteps that seemed to be receding into the distance.
Suddenly, another hurried sound of footsteps came, almost as if they were running.
Fu Yunchen stopped in his tracks.
It's Yang Yang.
Coming to the palace from the inn in the middle of the night, there must be something extremely important. Fu Yunchen asked directly, "What is it?"
Yang Yang handed the secret letter to Fu Yunchen, saying, "Please take a look, sir."
First came the peacock feather, then the letter whose secret had been deciphered.
Looking at the contents of the letter... Fu Yunchen remained silent.
Yang Yang, unaware of Fu Yunchen's thoughts, continued, "This evening, while I was fishing by the river, a horse suddenly appeared. There was no one on board, but there was blood on the saddle. I found this letter on the saddle and sent a man to follow the horse, trying to find the owner. In the end, we did find the man, but unfortunately, he was already dead. The fatal wound was likely poisoning. Although there were also cuts from a sharp weapon like an axe on his waist, they shouldn't have been fatal."
“Xin Hong is now divided by direction into Central Capital Flying Goose, Eastern Peacock, Southern Crane, Western White Dove, and Northern Black Crow.” Fu Yunchen looked at the peacock feather. “The east is the former Wu territory. Qiao Dongzi, have you informed me?”
Qiao Dongzi is currently in charge of Xinhong.
Yang Yang said, "As soon as I entered the capital, I went to find Brother Qiao, but he wasn't at his residence. His servants said he had returned to his mountain stronghold. That's why I went directly to the palace to report to Your Excellency. Please forgive me if I have disturbed Your Excellency."
Fu Yunchen: "It's alright. Where's the body? Was it brought to the capital?"
“I brought it,” Yang Yang replied, “along with the horse.”
"Let's go take a look."
"yes."
The footsteps faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, and Mu Run was no longer sleepy.
Oriental Peacock?
What happened?
Mu Run was filled with doubt.
The next morning, Mu Run, dressed in his crown and dragon robe, went to the imperial court to attend court, accompanied by Hong Mi.
Fu Yunchen stood at the very front, and like many other officials, he bowed and knelt, shouting "Long live His Majesty Murun!"
Mu Run sat on the dragon throne, his gaze fixed on Fu Yunchen and the other civil and military officials, some of whom he recognized at a glance, some of whom he was somewhat familiar with, and some of whom he was completely unfamiliar with. He slowly raised his hand and said, "Rise."
Qiao Dongzi stepped forward first, “Your Majesty, a corpse plague has occurred in Yingzhou and Changyi City. Although it has been brought under control, no corpses have appeared for five years. It cannot be ruled out that someone is using the corpse plague to cause trouble in Yingzhou and Changyi City. I hope Your Majesty will make a wise judgment.”
Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen, "Does the Prime Minister have a solution?"
Fu Yunchen replied, "Not yet."
This is a decision for her to make. Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen and saw that he had his head down and was not looking at her. She still said, "This matter is to be handled entirely by the Prime Minister."
Fu Yunchen stepped forward, glanced at Mu Run, and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Immediately afterwards, Fu Yunchen submitted a memorial proposing a monogamous system, which indeed caused an uproar throughout the court.
