Emperor Yao waved his hand to interrupt them. These old fools were always trying to be clever in front of him, saying a few words to fool them. They were not easy to use at all, and it was no wonder that he liked Wei Heyan and Si Yiluo.
If he were not afraid of being accused by the world of appointing traitors as ministers, he would really want to make Wei Heyan a prime minister!
"Okay, everyone, please step aside."
When they came out of the royal study, the three of them looked at each other and each looked for connections to find out what happened this morning and why Emperor Yao's anger suddenly fell on them!
There are no secrets in the palace. The conversation between Emperor Yao and Si Yiluo in the morning fell into the ears of the three powerful officials word for word.
"This Si Yiluo!"
Shen Panxing cursed secretly, it was a small thing to cause him to be scolded, and the entire official department and the Supervisory Office had to work hard for a while. If they were busy, the officials of the entire Zhou Dynasty would be worried!
Does Si Yiluo think there are too few people scolding her?
However, Qi Gui Qi, this matter cannot be spread, and only a few of them know about it. Otherwise, if the conversation in the palace becomes known to everyone, the emperor will be suspicious of their intentions.
It's a pity that most officials in the world can only be kept in the dark and complain endlessly...
In the evening, Zhou Zhan sent his maid to send a message to Shen Moran, saying that he was unwell and would not stay in the main courtyard tonight. Shen Moran turned off the lights early, washed up and went to bed.
But the young man who had just tasted love couldn't bear it. After walking around in the study for a long time, he went to the main courtyard in the dark.
The lights in the room turned on again, and Shen Moran got up to help him change clothes and wash up.
He heard what happened in the palace today, and he had more respect for Si Yiluo. In today's officialdom, there are not many officials who dare to offend others, and there are not many officials who dare to do practical things.
Thinking of what Yin Yue brought back last night, his eyes fell on the busy Shen Moran. Can she really compare with Si Yiluo?
"The princess went to the Si Mansion before returning home yesterday. The princess has a good relationship with Mr. Si?"
Shen Moran kept adding tea to him and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was beginning to test again.
"I am a good friend of Mr. Si. This is a well-known fact. Why should Your Highness ask even though you know it?"
Zhou Zhan took the teacup and pretended not to care and said: "Si Yiluo has a bad reputation. The princess has many rich ladies all over the capital. Why do you only befriend her?"
Shen Moran smiled.
"If she hadn't sensed something was wrong on the way back to Beijing, meddling in one more time, and saved Bitao and I, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Aluo has also saved His Highness twice. Speaking of which, both of us have inherited her kindness."
The woman smiled gently.
"Your Majesty, A'luo is a very good person. May I introduce you to my concubine?"
Zhou Zhan was not sure whether Si Yiluo had told her that she had taken refuge with him, so he coughed lightly and said: "I am an idle prince, why do you want to make friends with powerful ministers..."
Shen Moran saw through it without telling him, so he came over and asked softly: "Why does Your Highness, an idle prince, disguise himself to visit Mr. Xie and flirt with me in Mr. Xie's house?"
Zhou Zhan couldn't admit this matter even to death, otherwise not only Xie Yun would be exposed, but also the people who had contact with Xie Yun. Although she was not interested in Shen's case, if anything leaked between father and daughter, he would be You will face uncontrollable risks.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Princess? I have heard of Mr. Xie's name, but I have never had the opportunity to visit Mr. Xie. How could I show up at Mr. Xie's house?"
"Who is scorning the princess? I will seek justice for the princess!"
He hugged Shen Moran and placed him on his lap, leaning against her ear, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
Shen Moran's body was numb and he asked deliberately: "I didn't expect that His Highness, dragging a sick body, can still go through hundreds of battles. He is so experienced, I am jealous."
Zhou Zhan blushed. He didn't have any experience. He learned it from books.
"Then let's make arrangements."
When Si Yiluo went to Zhou Zhan's study, he and Shen Moran were inconvenienced.
Yin Yue found her a book apologetically and asked her to wait in the study. In fact, she didn't have to see Zhou Zhan tonight, she came to see Shen Moran.
But the couple had a hot fire... She decided to come during the day later.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhou Zhan finally arrived.
Looking at him with a rosy complexion and brisk steps, Si Yiluo made a correct estimate of his physical condition.
It seems that he should survive until the day he ascends the throne.
"What's so urgent?"
Si Yiluo thought to himself, it's not that things are urgent, it's that he is.
"I'm here at the wrong time. I'll pay attention to it later. I'm here today to discuss something with His Highness. Your Majesty will hand over the inspection of courtiers to me today. Can we arrange for more people?"
"One more thing, by chance, Wei Heyan bumped into Yinyue last night and already knows that Xiaguan is secretly seeking refuge with you, but he is not currently embarrassing Xiaguan. Please pay more attention to your highness."
This matter was very serious, and Zhou Zhan took it seriously.
"I will pay attention to this. As for the manpower, we can't be in a hurry. We need to make sure that the officials we elect are loyal enough and would rather lack than overwhelm. Besides, many people are eyeing this opportunity. If we leave too many positions for our own people, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Trouble."
"Isn't there any movement over there, Fifth Brother?"
Si Yiluo specially investigated several princes before coming here. Zhou Yu went to Bao Ge's Mansion tonight, probably to discuss countermeasures.
"Not yet. Several other His Royal Highnesses also met with their staff to discuss this afternoon."
They could either go to Wei Heyan or Si Yiluo. Anyway, there was still a tug-of-war for quota between her and Wei Heyan.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sir Si."
Si Yiluo stood up and left. It was too inconvenient for her to see Shen Moran now. She could only wait until she came to see her tomorrow.
There was a refreshing coolness in the night wind, and Si Yiluo met Wei Heyan as soon as he came out of Prince Zhan's Mansion.
"Master Si is really impatient. If it is discovered that the person who came to Prince Zhan's Mansion tonight is not the governor but other princes, what will happen to Master Si?"
Si Yiluo believed that no one in Shengjing could keep up with her except Wei Heyan.
"What does the Overlord want to do?"
He was leaning against the wall in the shadows, looking lazy.
"This governor is here to teach my apprentices not to leave anything to chance and not to believe too much in their own strength."
Si Yiluo felt embarrassed that he had been seen through, and said angrily: "When did the lower official become the apprentice of the governor?"
Her heart was beating hard, and her intuition told her that she had no secrets in front of Wei Heyan, but she still wanted to struggle a little more to make sure.
Wei Heyan glanced at her sideways.
"You turned against him so quickly? On the night when you tested Gong Xiyun, Mr. Si personally called me Master."
The memory was brought up again, and Si Yiluo's face suddenly burned when he thought of that scene.
Anyway, he had already discovered that she supported King Zhan, so she didn't expect to threaten him with his secret, let alone influence his thoughts.
Si Yiluo felt a bit like breaking a jar.
"Let it be whatever the governor says."
She disappeared into the small alley next to her. Although she was discovered by him, she still had to do what she had to do. To be cautious, she circled the city before returning to her home.
Wei Heyan caught up and joked: "Master Si, there is no need to be overly cautious. Only this governor knows Master Si's secret. All the informants here have been transferred away by this governor."
