After Chu Yunning went from Mrs. Gong's way of speaking, he left with satisfaction and got on the carriage again. The faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. A book and a cup of tea, he leaned against the wall of the carriage, slowly reading and drinking tea. He raised his eyes when he saw her coming.

"It's done?"

"Yes." Chu Yunning nodded and sat aside: "I have to thank you for coming forward."

Emperor Mingwen looked at her in surprise, and saw that she looked like she was still obedient when she got a cheaper look. He hummed in anger: "I was used as a target by you. There is a folk saying that those who see me have a share."

"Young Master wants to get a share?" Chu Yunning's alarm sounded in his heart. He looked at the other party with caution, but saw that he looked serious and didn't look like he was joking.

"But……"

"If I hadn't come forward to threaten, Mrs. Gong might not have been fooled by you. It would be better to cooperate next time, what do you say?" Emperor Mingwen directly interrupted what Chu Yunning wanted to say, as if he would definitely give me half of it today.

In desperation, Chu Yunning had to bite his lips and agree.

The two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chu Yunning saw Emperor Mingwen heading straight to Qiulian Pond, and was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Did the emperor know that things are under here for a long time?"

"Is the thing under the pool?" Emperor Mingwen asked.

Chu Yunning nodded.

"No wonder, I see that the pattern of this pond is a bit strange. The lotus blooms so enchantingly in autumn, and it is untainted by the mud..."

After saying a lot, Chu Yunning didn't hear the point, until Emperor Mingwen said, "The prime minister loves lotus only, his clothes are embroidered with lotus, and even the fragrance on his body is more or less a little bit of lotus fragrance, so I guess it is related to lotus."

"Why didn't the prince just say it?"

If she had known it just now, she wouldn't have to go to Mrs. Gong, just dig a pond to pump water.

Emperor Mingwen shook his head: "It's just a guess. If you guess the wrong direction, wouldn't it disappoint Chu Shanggong?"

Chu Yunning said chokingly. If she couldn't find the property left by Prime Minister Gong, she would probably get angry and would curse Emperor Mingwen in private and not pay attention to it.

"What the emperor's words are reasonable is that I judge the gentleman with the heart of a villain." Chu Yunning apologized generously.

"The water in this pond cannot be exhausted a day and a night. Are you going to wait here to see the result?" Emperor Mingwen wrapped his arms in front of his chest and looked at her with a wry smile. This woman was simply falling into the eyes of money, so she was too persistent.

Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment: "I can't wait, I plan to send a few people down to explore first."

She was worried when she didn't look in front of her eyes.

"If the emperor is anxious to go back, I will not disturb you."

"I'm not in a hurry." Emperor Mingwen rubbed his shoulders: "It's rare that I can come out and relax. I'll spend two more days with you."

Chu Yunning did not expose the other party's intention.

"Young Master, it's getting late, it's time to have lunch." At the other party's instructions, Eunuch Mo had to speak out to remind him.

He had tried Chu Yunning's craftsmanship, and it was ever-changing, and even the imperial kitchen could not make it.

Chu Yunning looked around and glanced at a few fat fish in the autumn pond. He suddenly said, "What if we don't mind, we'll sit on the ground and grilled fish?"

“Okay.”

Soon the guards caught a few fat fish. After cleaning it up, they picked up the skewers, sprinkled some seasonings, and then pulled a few more lotus leaves, planning to make a beggar fish. The prime minister's mansion's kitchen was short of anything, so they just made skewers, which were simple and delicious.

The fire was raised, the lotus leaf fish was thrown in, and then buried again. Emperor Mingwen asked curiously: "Chu Shanggong, you are too perfunctory to do this."

"What does the emperor know? This is a very famous snack. You will know after a while."

After being criticized for a while, Emperor Mingwen touched the tip of his nose and quickly reached out to help. In a short while, dozens of mutton skewers and beef skewers were prepared.

Put it on the iron plate and roll it back and forth, and the fragrance came soon. Emperor Mingwen sniffed: "It's really fragrant."

The first skewer of grilled lamb skewers was still dripping with oil. Chu Yunning handed it directly to Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, please try it."

Emperor Mingwen took it and took a bite. It was tender and juicy, not greasy at all, and the taste was just right. After a while, he finished a bun. Eunuch Mo was drooling and staring at him with a greed. Chu Yunning gave a bun with generous skewers.

"Anyway, there are so many things, it's still early, so Eunuch Mo should not be idle."

"Oh, I'm thankful to Chu Shanggong." Eunuch Mo took a string without waiting for Emperor Mingwen's reaction and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

After a while, the grilled fish was gone, and a layer of sesame seeds and peppercorns were sprinkled on it and handed it to Emperor Mingwen. The fish was fragrant and tender, and Eunuch Mo was very considerate and removed the thorns.

"Is the one under the fire good?" Emperor Mingwen still remembers that there is a fish under the fire.

Chu Yunning picked up the stick and pulled out the fire, dug out a small earth ball, tapped it hard, and then took it with clean lotus leaves to open it.

The smell of fish suddenly filled the air, slightly lighter than the roasted ones, but they all penetrated into the soup, and every bite was the essence.

Emperor Mingwen didn't care about the scalding and just finished the whole fish.

After a while, the water in the pool was reduced by one-third. Chu Yunning ate and drank enough, lying comfortably on the chair, enjoying the breeze: "It's the most suitable time to have a sleep."

"It makes sense."

"The emperor really doesn't plan to leave?" Chu Yunning touched his nose. The southern end of his body was Emperor Mingwen. He was fond of this little money?

Emperor Mingwen didn't even lift his eyelids, and he lay leisurely on the chair, humming a few words, which was considered a response.

Seeing this, Chu Yunning couldn't ask any more questions, so he leaned back and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Perhaps because I was too tired, I fell asleep after lying for a while. After a while, the tip of my nose felt a little itchy and a faint ambergris scent passed by.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the sound of disputes and fighting came from his ears. The sword was unsheathed and shone with a cold light. I felt a cold air coming, and Chu Yunning suddenly opened his eyes.

More than a dozen guards were fighting with dozens of men in black. Emperor Mingwen stared at Qiu Lianchi without raising his head.

"Awaken?" Emperor Mingwen looked at her side when he heard the movement.

Chu Yunning asked curiously: "Who are these people?"

"It's all assassins."

Seeing Emperor Mingwen being unaware of honor and disgrace, she seemed to be talking about something very ordinary, she couldn't help it: "Aren't you worried that these guards will fail?"

"It was all taught by me personally. If I had no ability to protect my master, I would have been eliminated long ago."

Chu Yunning couldn't refute this, and Eunuch Mo explained on the side, "Chu Shanggong, these people did not know the identity of the emperor, and were coming to Qiulian Pond. They were all gangsters in the world, and they were not afraid."

I don’t know where these people learned the news. When they heard that Qiu Lianchi had dug up treasures, they rushed over and didn’t even care about their lives.

Half an hour later, all the gangsters were arrested, and the guards here did not even suffer any injuries.

This is simply pressing the other person to the ground to rub.

It's not of the same level at all.

There was no end to the night. Waves of people came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for treasures. This person was too dense.

Emperor Mingwen yawned, but he was really out of patience. He gave an order: "Let Jingzhao Yin come!"

"yes!"

A moment later, Jingzhao Yin rushed over, looked at the prisoner kneeling in the yard, and looked at the man in front of him, his legs were almost weak, and he stuttered forward and saluted: "I would like to pay my respects to the emperor, but I am late to save him, so I beg the emperor to forgive me."

Emperor Mingwen waved his hand: "No need to be polite, just wait for interrogation. I will know who was spreading the news behind the scenes in an hour."

"yes!"

Jingzhaoyin looked a headache. So many people were afraid that they would not be able to get into prison.

Chu Yunning watched Qiuchi's water gradually disappear, his eyes moved slightly, and probably guessed who was making small moves behind him.

She didn't understand why people in this era were not afraid of death. The repeated warnings were useless. When Prime Minister Gong died, she had no intention of making things difficult for Mrs. Gong.

Half an hour later, Jingzhao Yin came to report that the news of the treasure hidden in the autumn pond of Prime Minister Gong's mansion was released by the slaves around Mrs. Gong.

As expected, Chu Yunning was not surprised at all.

There have been a lot of controversy when so many gangsters come to the door at the same time. Even if Emperor Mingwen wants to save her life, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials will not be happy.

It is reasonable to kill her.

Emperor Mingwen raised his hand gently: "You are Jingzhao Yin, responsible for the safety of Kyoto. What should you do if you see this?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, capture the envoy behind the scenes, and the three parties will be tried."

This is the process, and it is not biased against anyone.

Emperor Mingwen gently said with a slight head: "Then let you do this matter, and you must give an explanation to the people in the capital."

Jingzhao Yin was stunned. Is he going to drag Mrs. Gong to parade in the street?

"yes!"

Chu Yunning was patient and finally waited to see the bottom of the Qiulian Pond. He went down to pull out all the lotus flowers in the pond, and collected a lot of fresh lotus and lotus pods. Chu Yunning was not idle either. He pulled out a few, tasted them for two bites and thought they tasted good. He stared at the scale under the pond with excitement.

The silt was cleaned up for half, and finally the outline was revealed, and a thick layer of stones was covered with under the pond.

Looking from bottom to top, it looks like a designed underground palace, extending all the way around, without knowing the bottom or the edge.

Chu Yunning was shocked to see it. Be good, how many treasures did Prime Minister Gong save?

"The Prime Minister's Mansion was the mansion of the only legitimate princess of the previous emperor. This princess was very favored and extravagant. Even the close maid wore gold and silver, so it was not surprising that she could keep a small treasury privately." Emperor Mingwen explained.

"So that's it." Chu Yunning became more and more excited as he thought about it. He wanted to dig up the treasure immediately. He didn't know if Prime Minister Gong knew that the treasure was poached and would be angry to survive.

Seeing her eyes clear and cunning, Emperor Mingwen curled his thin lips and curled up: "That's the point of success?"
