The morning rooster crows.

The crow was beside the bed, gently pecking at the strands of Yao's hair.

Old Yao slowly opened his eyes and listened to the sound of water flowing gently in the yard. He put on his coat and hugged the dark clouds and went out.

In the yard, he saw Chen Ji rolling up his sleeves and walking out with a pole.

Old Man Yao sneered and said: "It seems that yesterday was not tiring enough. If you are really not tired, open a door on the courtyard wall first, so that the prince and Bai Li will not have to climb over the wall every day."

Chen Ji smiled and explained: "We used too much water last night when we washed away the dust on our bodies, so I got up early in the morning and filled up the water tank so that it would not be used for cooking. Did it disturb you to take a rest? I will be gentler next time

some."

"It's not necessary," Old Man Yao sighed. He noticed the changed appearance of the red apricot tree in the yard, and sighed: "When the apricot tree blooms with white flowers next spring, it should be very beautiful. When I was young, I could

It’s great to do something with friends. They may have looked disgraced at the time, but when I look back on them decades later, those old friends seem to be glowing…”

Chen Ji was surprised.

Old Yao looked at him: "Is there any more red cloth?"

Chen Ji was startled for a moment, then hurriedly got the red cloth strip that he had not used last night, then went to the main hall counter to get a brush and handed it to the master.

In his impression, Old Yao always had a dull look, never being pretentious, and never being pretentious.

Today, the other party suddenly became sentimental.

I saw old man Yao taking the brush and gently writing his wish on the red cloth: "Little bastards will stop harming the elderly."

Chen Ji had no expression on his face and slowly turned his head to look at the master: "..."

Old Man Yao said slowly: "No need to hang it on the apricot tree, just hang it on your forehead. You can help me fulfill my wish."

Chen Ji said angrily: "You are making fun of me this early in the morning, right?"

Old Man Yao wrapped a red cloth strip around the lowest apricot branch and said in a calm tone: "Yesterday evening, the Golden Pig came to the hospital to look for trouble, but you were not there."

"Did he say anything?"

Old Yao clasped his hands behind his back, turned around and walked towards the main hall of the medical center: "I didn't tell you, how could you tell the imperial doctor about the Secret Service? But I know why he came to you."

Chen Ji followed the master carrying a pole: "Why?"

"The Secret Service failed to catch the Jingchao thief who used firearms, so they planned to return to the clue of Jinfang and Jianzuo. Yesterday, they went to Caogang and arrested a lot of people. Maybe they have new ones.

You need to investigate the clues... Are you hiding from him by running to Liujiatun? Once you join the Secret Service, there is no way out, where do you think you can hide?"

Chen Ji said softly: "I suspect that Concubine Yun is planning to push the crown prince and the princess into a whirlpool, so I simply take them away from the trouble. Now that Prince Jing is back, perhaps no one will dare to frame the blame at will, but it will take a day to hide."

Old Man Yao raised his eyebrows: "Concubine Yun wants to harm her own child?"

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his speculation: "Master, on that day Jingchao had known in advance that Jie Fanwei was surrounding Jinfang in Hongyi Lane. The person in charge of Jinfang escaped early, but someone took the crown prince and the princess.

Deliberately lured here. Except for Concubine Yun, no one else will do this for the time being. I guess she wants her own child to inherit the throne of Prince Jing."

However, Chen Ji was also a little confused: "But I don't understand. Concubine Yun doesn't have a son, so why would she do this?"

"You ask me? I'm not a spy!"

After thinking about it, Chen Ji always felt that a key piece of information was missing, just like before building a pavilion, the most critical wooden tenon was missing in the mortise and tenon structure.

"Master, has Concubine Yun had any children die in these years?"

"No, she just has a child."

"Are there any other children in Prince Jing's residence who died in infancy?"

"Including Concubine Jing's death a few days ago, there are two. The last one is also Concubine Jing's child."

Chen Ji was surprised: "Master, is Concubine Yun feeling ill?"

Old Man Yao said calmly: "I checked her pulse, she is fine."

Chen Ji still had a doubt in his mind: Concubine Yun had no heirs to inherit the throne of Prince Jing, so why did she kill the crown prince, Bai Li? If she wanted to take action, she should do it after she had an heir.

Could it be that I made a wrong judgment?

"Wait a minute," Chen Ji looked at Old Man Yao: "Master, how long has it been since Prince Jing spent the night in Feiyun Garden? Uncle Crow can communicate with birds, you must know this."

Old Man Yao sneered: "Who do you think I am, that I would do such a thing?"

Chen Ji said seriously: "Master, this is very important."

Old Yao stroked his beard: "I have been in Luo City for three years, and Prince Jing has never stayed overnight in Feiyun Garden. He always lives alone in Mingzheng Building."

Chen Ji was silent as he filled in the last wooden tenon. He seemed to understand why Concubine Yun did this. I am afraid that the other party wanted to kill not only the Crown Prince and Bai Li, but also Concubine Jing.

…

…

While he was thinking, there was a rustling sound outside the wall, and Chen Ji and Old Man Yao walked back to the backyard suspiciously.

The next moment, I saw the prince's head sticking out from the eaves of the wall: "Old traces!"

Chen Ji was surprised: "Your Majesty, you are here so early? It's not like you to work so actively."

The Crown Prince's expression changed: "Look at what you said. Didn't I work hard yesterday? Chen Ji, you have to speak with your conscience!"

"Diligence, very diligence!"

The Crown Prince's expression softened: "I want to discuss something with you. Yesterday you said you needed some help to renovate the kiln, so I found some helpers for you."

Chen Ji smiled and responded: "It's a good thing to have helpers."

The prince hesitated slightly: "This helper's identity is a bit special. But you don't need to feel pressure. He is mainly curious about what we are doing..."

The more Chen Ji listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

The next moment, someone set up a ladder on the opposite side of the courtyard wall, and a figure appeared on the eaves of the wall.

Chen Ji's expression changed: "Prince?!"

Why did you invite Prince Jing to ask for help?!

However, they saw that Prince Jing was still wearing patchwork clothes. He climbed into the hospital and said with a smile: "It's quite exciting to climb over the wall of your own house. No wonder Yunxi and Baili don't go through the main entrance."

The prince was lying on the eaves of the wall and said with a cheerful smile, "Yes."

Chen Ji quickly winked at the prince and whispered: "The prince is mocking you, can't you hear it?"

The prince's smile gradually disappeared.

Prince Jing slowly walked to the apricot tree, raised his hand and picked up a red cloth strip, and silently looked at the wish written on it: "Is this all written by you? It's been a long time since I saw such a simple wish.

What I see here is more about seeking official positions and wealth."

Chen Ji put down the pole on his shoulder and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, are you going to help us?"

The prince smiled and said: "I am definitely not good at hard work with my body, but I also called other helpers for you. They are on the way and should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the hospital, and someone shouted through the crack in the door: "Your Majesty, we are here."

Prince Jing raised his hand and pointed to Feng Daban, who had just entered the courtyard, and said, "Open the door for them."

While Feng Daban went to open the door, Chen Ji asked the prince in a low voice: "Your Majesty, did you say anything to the prince?"

Prince Jing was an extremely pragmatic person, so he must have come early in the morning because the prince had mentioned something that the other party was interested in.

The prince also lowered his voice and said: "After class this morning, my father asked me what I did yesterday. I used your words to brag to him, saying that earthen kilns are not easy to use, and local snakes can turn them into semi-inverted flame kilns. Let's see.

If not, we will build a full inverted flame kiln today."

Chen Ji thought thoughtfully: "What did the prince say?"

The prince shrugged his shoulders: "He asked me what a full inverted flame kiln is, where should the chimney be placed, how should the air inlet and flame holes be left, where should the combustion chamber be placed, and how high should the fire wall be... where should I be?

Knowing this, I said this is all confidential and cannot be told to him."

Chen Ji was startled.

Is Prince Jing so professional?

The so-called rising flame kiln, flat flame kiln, semi-down-flame kiln, and full down-flame kiln, the essential difference is how the flame flows in the kiln. Ordinary people's impression of kiln is that of a "earth bag", and few people pay attention to kiln

's internal structure.

How could a powerful vassal king know so much about this matter that he even made a special trip to join in the fun?

At this time, the door of Taiping Medical Center opened, and more than a dozen men were seen filing in. The men had dark skin, muscles all over their bodies, and they were strong and powerful.

At first, a man cupped his fists and saluted Prince Jing: "Your Majesty, I have brought people here, and they are all good at building kilns."

Prince Jing nodded, then turned to look at Chen Ji: "Let's go then? A bullock cart has been prepared at the door."

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment: "You also ride in a bullock cart?"

Prince Jing laughed loudly: "We are going to work, why not ride in a bullock cart?"

After leaving the door, Bai Li subconsciously wanted to get on Chen Ji's ox cart, but Prince Jing stopped him: "Where are you going? Come and sit."

"Oh..." Bai Li lowered his head and slowly sat cross-legged next to Prince Jing.

The three bullock carts set off slowly, making a squeaking sound as the wooden wheels turned.
