Hu Mansion.

forecourt.

Hu Fei, who had been living in Hongbin Building for several days, finally returned home today. After hearing that no one from the DPRK or the Central Government had visited the house since yesterday, Hu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he took Princess Anqing to the front yard, planning to pay homage to her.

Hu Weiyong apologized.

The old man must have been very angry after hiding outside for the past few days, but when he came to the front yard, he never saw Hu Weiyong.

So Hu Fei called the butler Qin Hai to the main hall.

"I have met the young master, Princess Anqing."

Qin Hai hurried to the main hall and saluted Hu Fei and Princess Anqing one by one to greet them.

"Where's the old man?"

Hu Fei waved his hand and asked doubtfully.

"Back to the young master, the master went to the palace early this morning."

Qin Hai bowed and answered slowly.

"Enter the palace? What to do?"

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.

According to the past practice, the morning court will not be resumed until after the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Ministers will not enter the palace to disturb His Majesty, who seldom has peace.

Upon hearing Hu Fei's question, Qin Hai couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.

"Back to the young master, yesterday the master took me back to the old house to clean it, and unexpectedly discovered that a spring water had appeared under the rockery in the old house at some time. It gushes out from the top of the rockery and has a sweet taste."

"The master was overjoyed and called this a good omen for the Ming Dynasty, so he went to the palace to report it to Your Majesty, and invited Your Majesty to come to the old house to watch it together on the fifteenth day."

Qin Hai said happily while smiling.

spring?!

Hearing Qin Hai's answer, Hu Fei, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly stood up and accidentally dropped the teacup in his hand, smashing it into pieces!

"Liquan?!"

Hu Fei stared at Qin Hai and couldn't help but ask, his face serious.

"Back to Master, that's right."

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, looked at Hu Fei with a solemn expression, and nodded hesitantly.

"Something is wrong!"

Hu Fei frowned and murmured something to himself. His legs felt a little weak and he couldn't help but sit back on the chair again.

Looking at the strange Hu Fei, Princess Anqing and Qin Hai both showed a trace of confusion on their faces, looking at Hu Fei in confusion.

"Brother Fei, what's wrong?"

Princess Anqing looked at Hu Fei's solemn face with a trace of paleness, so she couldn't help but asked worriedly.

"What day does it fall today?"

But Hu Fei ignored Princess Anqing, looked at Qin Hai again, and asked loudly.

"Master, today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month."

Qin Hai looked at Hu Fei hesitantly, and answered slowly, his doubts getting even worse.

"Is it already eleven?!"

When Hu Fei heard this, he couldn't help but frowned again, his expression becoming more solemn.

"Master, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Qin Hai looked at Hu Fei, couldn't help but asked curiously, and couldn't help but become nervous.

"Pei Jie! Pei Jie!"

Hu Fei didn't answer Qin Hai. He stood up quickly and shouted loudly toward the door.

"Master."

Soon, Pei Jie walked into the hall quickly and looked at Hu Fei doubtfully, not understanding what happened.

"Send the princess back to the palace immediately!"

Hu Fei glanced at Princess Anqing and said hurriedly.

"yes!"

Pei Jie was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said.

"Brother Fei, what's going on? Don't scare me..."

Princess Anqing looked at the somewhat flustered Hu Fei and asked worriedly, her heart agitated.

"Don't ask. It's too late to explain. I'll tell you later."

Hu Fei shook his head and pushed Princess Anqing out of the door as he spoke.

At the same time, other people who heard the noise also rushed over.

"Chundie, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Hu Fei then turned to look at Chundie and said loudly.

Chundie agreed and immediately turned around to prepare.

Princess Anqing, who was pushed out of the door by Hu Fei, looked at the busy Hu Fei, hesitated, and finally turned around and walked out.

Pei Jie immediately followed and personally escorted Princess Anqing back to the palace.

Soon, Chundie took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it on the table.

Hu Fei did not stop. After a moment's hesitation, he immediately wrote four invitations, which were sent to Prince Zhu Biao and the three vassal kings respectively.

The content of the invitation is very simple, it is to invite four people to come to the Hu family’s old house to watch the wonders of Liquan on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Xiaowu, Chundie, let's go into the palace!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei put away the four invitations and strode out.

Chun Die and Xiao Wu looked confused, but looking at the weird Hu Fei, they didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed.

"Steward Qin! When the old man returns home, tell him not to go anywhere, but to stay at home and wait for me to come back! This matter is of great importance. It has delayed my business, and I will never let him go leniently!"

Before he was about to walk out of the door, Hu Fei said a word without looking back.

Qin Hai, who was standing at the door of the main hall, hurriedly agreed, but until now, he didn't know what happened and was confused.

Soon, Hu Fei got on the carriage and headed straight to the palace with Chundie and Xiao Wu.

Chundie sat opposite Hu Fei, looking at Hu Fei's expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

But seeing the young master's distracted look, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Hu Fei had a sullen face and leaned solemnly against the carriage, blaming himself all the time.

During this period of time, in order to avoid the flattery of the ministers, he deliberately hid in Hongbin Tower. In addition, Princess Anqing would come out of the palace to look for him every day, which made him temporarily fall into the world of two people with Princess Anqing.

But he made a fatal mistake. He actually forgot that the Liquan falling from the sky would appear in the Hu family's old house. This fatal mistake could completely put him and the Hu family into a situation of eternal disaster, and it was a matter of life and death!

Because according to historical records, the fuse for the Hu Weiyong case was lit during the Lantern Festival in the thirteenth year of Hongwu!

It was precisely because Hu Weiyong was so excited that he invited Zhu Yuanzhang to visit the Liquan in his old house, which led to someone reporting that Hu Weiyong had planted heavy troops in the Hu family's old house with the intention of killing the king and usurping the throne!

After Zhu Yuanzhang received the news, he was furious and immediately ordered the entire Hu family to be arrested. Hu Weiyong was executed directly without even leaving a chance to defend himself!

From then on, more than 30,000 people were implicated in the murder, and it was not until the 23rd year of Hongwu that the case came to an end, which lasted ten years!

Thinking of the consequences of this incident, Hu Fei couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine, and at the same time he began to blame himself more and more.

Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise he would have died without a burial place!

What he has to do now is to cut off this fuse, but Hu Weiyong's invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang to visit Liquan is a foregone conclusion. The only thing he can do is to find the person behind it, and then invite more witnesses to prove Hu Weiyong's

clean.

The first stop is to go to the East Palace and invite Prince Zhu Biao to attend.

...

Royal Palace.

East Palace.

apse.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Hu Fei would like to see you."

Xiao Qi quickly walked into the hall, bowed respectfully, and said slowly.

"Oh? He is finally willing to come? I thought he had forgotten about it a long time ago."

"Let him in."
