Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly. Yin Hou clearly said that he didn't need to do anything, but the cat liked to stretch out its claws.

After a while, Zhan Zhao let go of the boy and said two words, "Muyu!"

Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu looked at each other - it was a gatehouse before, but this time it was a wooden fish?

Gongsun was also puzzled, "What kind of wooden fish?"

Lin Yehuo threw the boy to the guard aside. He was most familiar with wooden fish. His monk knocked on the wooden fish every day. What happened to the wooden fish?

"Copper wooden fish!" Zhan Zhao described, "There is also a purple dragon-patterned mat underneath the wooden fish."

"Purple dragon pattern?" Zhao Pu asked, "What texture? Brocade?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "It looks very exquisite."

"That thing should be a gift from the emperor." Zhao Pu thought for a while and asked Zhan Zhao, "Is there any pattern on that copper wooden fish?"

"Yes!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "Persimmon!"

"Persimmon..." Zhao Pu's tone was somewhat clear, as if he was expecting it.

"Have you seen it?" Gongsun asked.

The Ninth Prince smiled "haha" and said, "Not only have I seen it, but I also know who has used it."

"Who?" everyone said in unison.

Zhao Pulue replied helplessly, "My royal sister-in-law...the former royal sister-in-law!"

"Which one?"

Zhao Pu's imperial sister-in-law... could it be that she is Zhao Zhen's mother?

"Queen Mother?!" Everyone was shocked.

"We've already talked about the previous one!" Zhao Pu waved his hand and lowered his voice and said, "The civet cat will be replaced by the prince!"

"Has Empress Liu used that wooden fish?"

Zhao Pu asked Zhan Zhao, "Does the wooden fish hammer look like Ruyi?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Then you can't be wrong." Zhao Pu said, "The set of wishful wooden fish means that everything will go well year after year. It is quite festive. It was a birthday gift given to her by the late emperor."

Bai Yutang feels that Zhao Pu, his imperial brother, is not too reliable. Is his daughter-in-law a wooden fish for her birthday?

"Queen Liu was very competitive when she was young. My imperial brother probably gave her a heads up." Zhao Pu shrugged, "Later, after she was demoted and sent to the cold palace, she also brought this wooden fish with her, and she always knocked on it when she had nothing to do.

My royal wife went to see her before she died, and I went with her at that time. The wooden fish was placed on the table, but there was definitely no purple cushion with a dragon pattern on it."

"Queen Liu has been dead for many years." Bai Yutang asked, "Is it related to the case?"

"Could it be the people around her?" Zhao Pu seemed to have some ideas, "Queen Liu had several people around her, both civil and military. In addition to her confidant Guo Huai, many maids and guards were also beheaded in the palace...

…Maybe something slipped through the net.”

"I saw that the hand knocking on the wooden fish was also a man's hand." What Zhan Zhao just saw from the boy was a hand knocking on the wooden fish.

"The dragon-patterned mat was probably given by the late emperor, but the mat is just a small thing. It is unlikely to be used to reward courtiers. It is more likely to be given to people around you." Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Maybe it is a guard! The palace

The most common ones are eunuchs, palace maids and guards. Generally, you won’t reward eunuchs and palace ladies with anything with dragon patterns, right?”

Everyone nodded and thought it made sense.

"After the late emperor passed away, his bodyguard Zhao Zhen was useless. There was almost a new group of people in the palace. It turned out that most of them went home to take care of themselves, and some went to other yamen."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Pu spread his hands and said, "I don't know, but there is one person you can ask!"

A scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Zhao Zhen asked them in disgust, "Why are you always checking my family background?".

Zhao Pu smiled and said, "Of course I'm not asking about the emperor. I don't know how old he was at that time. If you want to ask about the late emperor, the most reliable person is naturally Eunuch Chen."

Everyone nodded when they heard it - yes!

"But in terms of age..." Gongsun calculated, "Your imperial brother's bodyguard should be about the same age as Dorothy's father by now, right?"

Zhao Pu nodded.

"That means he's about the same age as Wu Shanchuan?" Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Is there anyone older? That person looks to be ten or twenty years older than Wu Shanchuan."

"Then..." Zhao Pu asked, "could it be...that he is my unreliable father's bodyguard?"

"Calculating age seems more reasonable." Everyone looked at Zhao Pu eagerly.

Zhao Pu shrugged, "Then let's ask Eunuch Chen, he is the one who serves these three anyway."

Everyone suddenly had some admiration for Eunuch Chen. It is said that accompanying an emperor is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention that these three emperors were unreliable in their own ways. The old man actually served the emperors of three dynasties without being killed, and even became one of the three emperors.

Chitose, so awesome!
