Cao Miao sat cross-legged on Hu's bed under the corridor, stroked his knees with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, his breath was long, and his mind was calm.

In June midsummer, the sun was scorching in the sky, and the cicadas were loud. Han Dong's face and neck were red, and oily sweat covered his forehead. However, he did not dare to move lightly. The smile on his face became more and more reluctant, but he did not dare to put it away, let alone show a vicious look.

He was ordered to investigate the school affairs, jade seal and inner alchemy, and he had a heavy responsibility. If this matter is done, he can be promoted to another level and become Yin Mo's confidant. If it is done, he will probably be carried by him in the case of Wang Tai being killed, and the officials' anger will burn him to the point where he can't even have a piece of ashes left.

I heard that Xuzhou governor Lu Qian was very concerned about this matter, and Lu Qian's other person was Wang Tai's brother Wang Xiang. Compared to those people, Cao Miao in front of him was rude, but he was finally able to deal with it.

Ah Hu stood aside with a knife, without saying a word, without squinting his eyes. Han Dong was also very conscious and didn't even communicate with Ah Hu. Ah Hu was his informant, and he also needed Ah Hu to provide him with Cao Miao's every move, so naturally he could not be too exposed.

Han Dong stood in the scorching sun for an hour and was almost dizzy. Cao Miao slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, School Affairs Officer Han, when did you come back?" Cao Miao was "surprised".

Han Dongqiang was so excited that he squeezed out a smile. "I just arrived in the morning. I disturbed the prince's practice, and died of death."

"Please sit, please sit." Cao Miao was very enthusiastic and ordered Qingtao and Hongxing to drink wine. He ordered Ah Hu to serve a cup to Han Dong, but he did not invite Han Dong to sit down. He still stood at the steps, enjoying the scorching sun, and the oil and sweat were boiling.

After being exposed to the sun for nearly an hour, Han Dong's throat was smoking. Seeing this glass of water, he wanted to drink it all in one gulp, and even grabbed the kettle in front of Cao Miao. But he still resisted the impulse and thanked Cao Miao first.

"Thank you the prince for giving me. I have received no merits and I am ashamed to take responsibility."

"It's not considered a meritless reward." Cao Miao looked at Han Dong with a smile. "You killed Wang Tai, which can be considered as a way to vent my anger for my father and son."

Han Dong's mouth twitched, holding the wine glass, not knowing whether to drink or not.

"School affairs are gone and come back, are there any new tasks?" Cao Miao took a sip of water and smiled.

Han Dong gritted his teeth and drank the water in one sip. The fact that Wang Tai was not killed by him cannot be explained yet, so he can only bear the blame for the time being. "It is because there is something to ask the eldest prince for advice."

"Me?" Cao Miao became more and more curious.

"It is. Since the prefect of Chenliu, Sun Yong, wrote a letter to the capital, the inner alchemy technique has become popular in the capital, and Dong was ordered to investigate the details. The day before yesterday, he met Sun Yong in Chenliu. Sun Yong said that this inner alchemy technique was passed down by the prince. Therefore, Dong took the liberty to visit and asked the prince to solve his doubts so that he could report his life."

Han Dong took out a handkerchief, wiped off the oily sweat from his forehead, and looked at Cao Miao. "What the prince just learned is my inner alchemy?"

Cao Miao smiled but did not answer and looked at Han Dong for a moment. "Is there an edict?"

Han Dong hesitated for a moment and shook his head. In front of others, he could still use the edict to suppress others. In front of Cao Miao, he did not dare to take risks. If Cao Miao asked him for the edict but he could not take it out, Cao Miao would probably bite him back.

"Dong did not have an edict in his hand, it was an order from his superiors." Han Dong deliberately said vaguely.

Cao Miao said "Oh" and said nothing. Since it was an internal order from the school, it had nothing to do with him. He could cooperate with Han Dong, or he could not cooperate with Han Dong. Whether to cooperate or not depends on how Han Dong did it.

Seeing Cao Miao's ignorance, Han Dong was helpless. He knew that Cao Miao would not tell him easily, but he had no other better way. He could not check the school affairs and jade seal, so he could only wait. The answer to the inner alchemy technique was right in front of him, and he could not let it go.

Han Dong gritted his teeth, lifted up his clothes, and knelt on the ground with one leg. The ground was hot in the sun, and his knees were almost scalded. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said in a deep voice: "Dong Wuzhi was crazy and rebellious. He had been rude to the prince before. He was uneasy for several months and regretted it. He asked the prince to punish him."

Cao Miao tilted his mouth and slowly put down the water cup in his hand. "Get up. I don't hold grudges. You are rude to me, and I will beat you up. The grudges have been cleared, so there is no need to worry about school affairs."

Han Dong grinned, resisted the urge to curse, stood up, bowed and bowed again. "Thank you, Prince. The prince is worthy of being a practitioner, with a mind..."

Cao Miao smiled and interrupted Han Dong without hesitation. "The school affairs are in the capital, have you ever heard of news related to Wang Ji?"

Han Dong thought for a while. "I returned to the capital this time for a short time and I didn't hear much news. If the prince wants to inquire, Dong can serve the prince and help the prince with his help to repay the prince's advice."

"Thank you for your help," Cao Miao said lightly: "If you can kill him directly, it's better."

Han Dong's cheek was thrusting. Cao Miao's condition was too much. He thought for a while and said, "The prince doesn't know. Although Wang Ji's surname is Wang, he is different from Wang Tai. He is not the Wang family of Langya, but the Wang family of Taiyuan."

Cao Miao snorted: "So what?"

"The prince has been practicing in the mansion for a long time, so he may not be very concerned about matters outside the mansion. Wang Chang, the governor of Yanzhou, also comes from the Wang family in Taiyuan and is a brother to Wang Ji. Wang Chang is an old minister of the late emperor's Eastern Palace and is deeply trusted by the late emperor. His Majesty also trusts him very much. After ascending the throne, he was appointed General Yanglie and Marquis of Guannei."

Cao Miao was somewhat surprised. Although he was not familiar with historical details, he had heard of Wang Chang's name. Wang Chang is now the governor of Yanzhou? So, the Yongqiu Palace is also within the jurisdiction of Wang Chang. If it is not good for Wang Ji, he must not ignore Wang Chang's reaction.

No wonder the school affairs that make people feel scared are afraid of.

"Since the school affairs are in a dilemma, I won't force it." Cao Miao got off Hu's bed, raised his hand, and went into the inner room. "Ahu, send him off to Han's school affairs."

"Here." Ah Hu responded, went down the steps, came to Han Dong, and reached out to signal.

Han Dong was depressed by Cao Miao's order to expel him, but he had no choice but to follow Ah Hu. When the two walked side by side, Han Dong whispered: "Brother, what news is there recently?"

Ah Hu turned his head calmly, looked around vigilantly, and confirmed that no one was paying attention to him, and then whispered: "Dare to sue the school affairs, the prince has obtained something recently, which seems to be related to your school affairs."

Han Dong felt nervous and asked quickly: "What?"

"A jade seal with an owl button on it. I heard from the king that it was the jade seal that led the school affairs during Emperor Wu, also known as the Jade Owl Seal. However, this seal has been missing for many years, and somehow appeared in the hands of the prince again."

Han Dong was overjoyed and finally managed to restrain his ecstasy and did not show it on his face. He was worried that there was no way to inquire about the school affairs jade seal, so he could only wait for the person to come to find him. Unexpectedly, the school affairs jade seal actually appeared in Cao Miao's hands, but it was really easy to get it.

The opportunity is coming, and it can't be stopped. Han Dong was so happy that he almost flew up, but he was still vigilant.

"When did it happen?"

"One night shortly after the school officials left." As he spoke, he had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Ah Hu stopped and bowed to say goodbye.

Han Dong said goodbye to Ah Hu seriously, turned around and left, his steps were light.
