Chapter 399 You are the elder brother, you have to let him!
Xiao Jue had a lot of things he didn't expect tonight, and he was always in shock.
Now, Lou Yan dared to question himself like this in front of the emperor, which shocked Xiao Jue again.
It took him a while to find his voice, and tried to soften his tone: "Third brother, I know you have a prejudice against me, but this matter is not something I deliberately want to target you. This matter was discussed between my father and me.
It’s decided. Firstly, I want to share my worries for my father, and secondly, I want to share some of my worries for you. After all, we are brothers, aren’t we?”
Lou Yan was so disgusted that he almost vomited, especially the word "brother", which made Lou Yan feel very uncomfortable.
At the beginning, he stood by Xiao Jue's side to help him without any hesitation. In addition to repaying his kindness, he also thought about the brotherly love in his heart.
He was a person with weak relationships. He only had his mother by his side since he was a child, and he grew up almost alone. Therefore, he longed for having an older brother.
But the facts proved that he, Lou Yan, had no brotherhood.
Now when he heard Xiao Jue mention the word "brother", Lou Yan only felt it was ironic.
He took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at the aloof Xiao Chengye: "Father has already discussed it with him. You came to me today to inform me, right?"
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Now I know how to call my father again.
Xiao Chengye had a headache: "Didn't I come to discuss this with you?"
Lou Yan pursed his lips and silently took out the military talisman and placed it respectfully on Xiao Chengye's desk.
This is the second time Lou Yan has done this kind of thing.
Xiao Chengye looked at him in shock: "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you that I came to discuss it with you? This has not been decided yet. Why are you anxious?"
Lou Yan had a stern face and remained unmoved: "Father, I have no control over the affairs of Southern Xinjiang. I also picked Yuanchu, and he went to Southern Xinjiang because of me. Logically speaking, I have no control over this matter.
We are all responsible for Yuanchu."
"But now, since my father has agreed to leave this matter to others, I will make a statement."
"Once this matter gets into other people's hands, no matter what happens, I will never get involved again." Lou Yan raised his eyes to look at Xiao Chengye, and directly opened Xiao Chengye's fig leaf, "Since my father doesn't trust me,
Sir, if you don’t trust me, why don’t you give the military talisman to someone you can trust. I have nothing else to ask for, I just want to live a stable life with Zhen Zhen.”
Xiao Chengye's face looked as ugly as possible.
He asked Xiao Jue to intervene in this matter just because he wanted to share some of the power in Lou Yan's hands. This is a fact.
But he didn't expect Lou Yan to be so tough.
This time, if he really lets Xiao Jue get involved in the affairs of Southern Xinjiang, then if something happens in Southern Xinjiang in the future, Lou Yan will never get involved.
Ask yourself, can Xiao Jue go into battle wearing armor and be as invincible as Lou Yan and regain southern Xinjiang?
Xiao Jue was afraid that if he had not led others to join forces with the King of Southern Xinjiang, he would turn the spear against himself.
Xiao Chengye endured it again and again, but he couldn't hold it anymore. He grabbed the memorial on the table and smashed it on Lou Yan's body: "I just mentioned it, look at you like this?"
"Are the military symbols your toy? You can take it if you want it, or throw it away if you don't want it?"
Lou Yan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xiao Chengye was so angry that he grabbed the paperweight and wanted to throw it away. Then he weighed the weight and found it was a bit heavy, so he put the paperweight down again, picked up the brush and threw it over.
The brush was still stained with red ink, which spilled all over Lou Yan.
Lou Yan frowned, straightened his clothes that were stained with red ink, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhen Zhen saw me when I went back like this. She will definitely ask, and then I will know that I was beaten by my father."
Xiao Chengye: "...I can't beat you anymore?"
Lou Yan remained silent again.
Xiao Chengye picked up the teacup and took two deep sips before suppressing the anger in his heart.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Chengye turned to Xiao Jue and said: "For the fourth child's matter, you go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the imperial doctors to consult the fourth child one by one. If the imperial doctor cannot do it, he will post an imperial list and ask for help from the private experts. I don't believe it.
No one can cure the fourth child’s illness.”
Xiao Jue: "Doctor Murong..."
"Okay!" Xiao Chengye gave Xiao Jue a warning look.
How could he not know that Murong Yan was a powerful girl? But what could he do if Lou Yan refused to let her go?
Xiao Chengye talked about other things: "You just came back not long ago, and you already have enough things on your hands. Don't get involved in Southern Xinjiang's affairs. It's enough to have the third child. He has been in Southern Xinjiang for several years, and no one can compare with him.
I’m more familiar with southern Xinjiang.”
Xiao Jue: "...Yes."
Xiao Chengye turned his head to look at Lou Yan and asked angrily: "Are you satisfied now?"
Lou Yan remained silent.
Xiao Chengye pointed to the military talisman on the table: "Won't you take it away?"
Lou Yan was silent for a moment, then took two steps forward, took the military talisman and put it in his arms.
He did not go back immediately, but lowered his voice a little: "Zhen Zhen has been studying food at home these days. She said she has invented some new cakes. When they are ready, they will be sent to the palace for you to try."
After saying this, Lou Yan took a few steps back with an expressionless face, as if he had said nothing just now.
Xiao Chengye stared at him for a while, and his heart suddenly softened.
After thinking about it, forget it, although the third child has a bad temper, no one is more filial and close to me than him.
Xiao Chengye waved his hand and said to him: "Go, go, go."
Lou Yan couldn't wait to turn around and leave.
"Come back!" Xiao Chengye said angrily, "I remember that there was a piece of white fox skin among last year's tribute? Isn't Zhen Zhen afraid of the cold? Take it back and make her a scarf."
Lou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then showed his first smile here: "Thank you, father."
Xiao Chengye felt sad for a while when he saw it.
This is still the dearest thing to a daughter-in-law.
Xiao Chengye waved his hand and told him to go away, out of sight and out of mind.
After Lou Yan left, Xiao Chengye looked at Xiao Jue again.
Xiao Jue lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao Chengye didn't care much about what he was thinking. He just said something perfunctory: "The third child grew up among the people. He has poor etiquette and a bad temper. You are the elder brother, so you should always be more accommodating.
Don't get along with him."
Xiao Jue: "...Yes."
"You are not familiar with things in southern Xinjiang, so rushing into it may have counter-effects. You also know that Yuanchu is Lao San's confidant, so just listen to him. If you go up to give orders, he may not be willing to listen to you.
Yes. Don’t take this to heart."
"Father, these sons and ministers all know it." Xiao Jue smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, my sons and ministers will never think too much about it."
"That's good," Xiao Chengye waved his hand, "Do the things you are doing first. Okay, let's get down."
Xiao Jue bowed and left. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Qinzheng Hall, Xiao Jue's face suddenly turned cold.
