At the critical moment, Wei Qing, the emperor, stood up.
"Everyone stop it!"
When the emperor spoke, the aggressive servants naturally stood still. The Hongchen Pavilion killers on the roof also stopped and watched what happened.
"Qing'er, I'm cleaning up the house for you, what are you doing?" He Chengyun was puzzled.
"Grandpa, he is not a bad person. He has helped me several times. I hope grandpa can spare his life. Let me... handle him." Wei Qing bit his lip.
Shen Yunfan looked a little surprised. He had just threatened the emperor's girl like that, but now she was speaking out to defend him?
This girl is really weird.
As expected, He Chengyun was furious and stood up as soon as he slapped the table: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you want to ruin your country by keeping a rebel by your side?"
His ferocious appearance scared Wei Qing until his face turned pale.
After yelling, he seemed to realize that his attitude was wrong, so he quickly changed his tone and persuaded: "Qing'er, you must not keep this kind of person!"
"Grandpa, he is not a traitor!" Wei Qing suddenly knelt on the ground, "I beg you...I beg you to let him go!"
A generation of emperors actually knelt down before others!
He Chengyun's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel a little joy on his face. The emperor knelt down to him, wouldn't that prove that his status was higher than the emperor's?
You know, he came back this time with ambitions in mind.
Wei Qing's cowardly look made him feel like he had a chance to win!
So he decisively changed his smile and stepped forward to help Wei Qing up.
"Qing'er, you are right. There is no conclusion on this matter yet. It was indeed me who was abrupt." He Chengyun waved his hand, "Let's see. Shen Shizi will go to the Imperial College to be the chief clerk first, and wait until Liu Cheng's details are found out. It won’t be too late to give you a promotion and come back!”
Hearing this, Xu Yan curled his lips.
Damn it, I didn’t kill this kid!
"Thank you, grandpa!" Wei Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly winked at Shen Yunfan, asking him to thank him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yunfan sneered, stepped forward to help Wan Yao up, and snorted coldly: "I have been demoted, and I still want to thank you? Tell me what kind of favor you have for me?"
He Chengyun was a little surprised. He was in a high position and had never seen anyone with such an arrogant attitude.
So he said with great interest: "If I don't kill you, isn't that considered a favor?"
"Do you really think you can kill me?" Shen Yunfan said with a relaxed smile, "If you really let someone do it just now, you would definitely die first in the end!"
These words are so powerful!
This is the confidence in the killer of Hongchen Pavilion. Even if both sides lose in the end, He Chengyun will die first!
He Chengyun was extremely surprised. This place was full of his people. How could a helpless boy say this?
Wei Qing was afraid that Shen Yunfan would be a fool, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Grandpa, this kid is not very smart, so he acts very arrogantly. Don't take his words seriously."
Hearing this, Xu Yan also said: "This guy is indeed arrogant and arrogant. In my opinion, my lord, you must punish him well."
"Ahem, in fact, being young and energetic is not a big mistake. Brother Shen's arrogance is just lip service, and the Duke really doesn't need to care about it." Cao Zhi also opened his mouth to smooth things over.
After listening to what a few people said, He Chengyun smiled half-heartedly and looked at Shen Yunfan like he was looking at an ant.
"It's so fun to jump up and down." He murmured in a low voice, then waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I have decided not to kill him, so of course I can keep my promise."
In his eyes, killing Shen Yunfan was not important.
Because, he has made a very important progress tonight. In order to plead for Shen Yunfan, Wei Qing actually knelt down to him!
This proves that Wei Qing has a very soft character and is easily controlled by others!
This discovery made He Chengyun very happy.
Everyone present regarded Shen Yunfan as a tough-talking clown.
A clown, of course, cannot be on the stage.
So, everyone is like
It's like watching a monkey show, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
But what they didn't know was that the killers of Hongchen Pavilion were retreating quietly. Shen Yunfan was not bragging. All of the people present were on the verge of death.
If Wei Qing hadn't desperately begged for mercy, this place would have been filled with blood.
Looking at the sarcastic smiles around him, Shen Yunfan just shook his head.
Today's Hongmen Banquet is nothing. Wei Qing called the imperial doctors and asked them to take Wan Yao down for treatment.
Xu Yan and Cao Zhi left in a hurry after delivering the gifts.
Wei Qing gave He Chengyun several glasses of wine as apology, and then left in a hurry with Shen Yunfan.
The two of them sat on the sedan they came in. Wei Qing's face turned red because he had been drinking. As soon as he got up, he said, "You stinky traitor, you helped me earlier. This time I can repay your kindness."
"I advise you to restrain your arrogance in the future and go to the Imperial College to be your chief registrar. I will give you an extra salary from now on so that you can live a carefree life for the rest of your life!"
She also felt that she owed Shen Yunfan something about this incident. So she knelt down to beg for mercy just to repay Shen Yunfan's favor.
"How tempting, Your Majesty."
"Since it's tempting, why don't you agree?"
"I'm not saying your terms are tempting, I'm saying you are tempting." Shen Yunfan lifted Wei Qing's chin.
"Young disciple, don't be rude!" Wei Qing shouted drunkenly with a red face.
Outside the sedan, Eunuch Zhao asked: "Your Majesty, what did the emperor say?"
Shen Yunfan rolled his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "The emperor said that he would spend the night at Concubine Jin's place tonight."
"According to the order, move to Changchun Palace!" Eunuch Zhao was immediately happy.
Your Majesty has not touched a woman for so many years, is he finally going to pamper his concubine today? This is great news for the people in their palace!
However, Wei Qing, who was drunk, had no idea what was happening.
When he arrived outside the Changchun Palace, Eunuch Zhao explained the situation to the maids here and asked them to retreat. But when he was about to help Wei Qing in, he was stopped by Shen Yunfan.
"Eunuch Zhao, I will just take His Majesty in!"
"Isn't this...appropriate?" Eunuch Zhao frowned. The emperor was visiting his concubine, and it made no sense for Shen Yunfan, a grown man, to follow her!
Shen Yunfan pulled Eunuch Zhao to the side seriously and whispered: "Eunuch Zhao, don't forget, the emperor... is not very good at that, I have to give him acupuncture!"
After Zhang Yanyu's diagnosis at Chaoshang last time, everyone knew about the emperor's syndrome of excessive yin and declining yang.
For a woman, this is not surprising. But for a man, isn’t this symptom a symptom of kidney deficiency?
Therefore, everyone thought that Emperor Yongkang’s problem was kidney deficiency!
Eunuch Zhao thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then, Prince Shen, please follow me. His Majesty's happiness depends on you."
"Don't worry, don't let anyone know about this!"
"Don't worry, I understand." Eunuch Zhao nodded.
Of course he would not spread the word about his master's embarrassing affairs.
Shen Yunfan then took Wei Qing into the Changchun Palace. The place where the noble concubine lived was filled with a delicate fragrance.
Shen Yunfan was a little excited when he thought that he was the only man in the entire palace...
