After eating and drinking in Zichen Hall, Lu Zhan finally reluctantly resigned to Emperor Zhengxuan. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to take the white jade chess pieces with him.
After Lu Zhan left, the smile on Emperor Zhengxuan's face gradually faded. He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then closed his eyes tiredly, and did not speak for a long time.
When Eunuch Liu saw this, he hurriedly brought the quilt to Emperor Zhengxuan, but as soon as he put it on Emperor Zhengxuan, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, did the slave's heavy hand wake you up?" Eunuch Liu said hurriedly.
Emperor Zhengxuan shook his head. Looking at the silver threads exposed on Eunuch Liu's temples and the wrinkles on his face, Emperor Zhengxuan suddenly felt melancholy in his heart. He looked at Eunuch Liu and asked him with some sigh, "Little
Fuzi, how long have you been with me?"
Eunuch Liu suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
He had not heard the title 'Little Fuzi' for several years.
However, Eunuch Liu soon came to his senses. He lowered his head and bowed his head to Emperor Zhengxuan, and then replied respectfully, "In reply to Your Majesty, the old slave entered the palace at the age of seven and was assigned to serve Your Majesty at the age of eleven. He has been serving His Majesty ever since.
It’s been thirty-seven years.”
"It turns out that thirty-seven years have passed..." Emperor Zhengxuan lengthened his voice unconsciously, and the melancholy in his eyes became more and more obvious.
He remembered that he met Xiao Fuzi not long after she was assigned to him. It turned out that thirty-seven years had passed...
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Liu also noticed that Emperor Zhengxuan looked wrong, so he stepped forward and asked cautiously.
Emperor Zhengxuan smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, I just think of A Xi."
Eunuch Liu's pupils trembled violently, and he looked towards Emperor Zhengxuan in disbelief.
Over forty years of palace career had allowed him to develop an expression of being unfazed no matter what happened. However, when he heard the name from Emperor Zhengxuan today, he couldn't help but feel moved.
Because this name is not only the maiden name of the late queen, but also a taboo in the heart of Emperor Zhengxuan!
But now, Emperor Zhengxuan actually took the initiative to mention the late empress.
But Emperor Zhengxuan seemed not to see the astonishment in Eunuch Liu's eyes. He twitched the corners of his lips and continued, "Don't you think A-Zhan actually looks a lot like her?"
Eunuch Liu smiled sarcastically.
It was even harder for him to accept this.
Seeing that Eunuch Liu didn't hum, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but turned his head and glared at him angrily and said, "Look at your timid appearance. I just mentioned it casually, look at your surprised look! Forget it, forget it, no.
Mention her!"
Emperor Zhengxuan waved his hand vigorously, then threw the name into the corner again and buried it.
"By the way, what do you think of what A Zhan just said?" In order to divert attention, Emperor Zhengxuan simply asked Eunuch Liu another question.
"Your Majesty, you are referring to..." Eunuch Liu looked towards Emperor Zhengxuan with some hesitation.
Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but give Eunuch Liu a look, and said, "Okay, stop pretending to be stupid in front of me! You old man, can you not understand what I am asking you?"
After hearing what Emperor Zhengxuan said, Eunuch Liu hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, give me ten courages, but I will not dare to pretend to be an idiot in front of you! I was shocked by what you just said,
So, my mind didn’t change for a while.”
Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes moved, and finally he didn't say anything more about Eunuch Liu. He only said, "Tell me, was there any Duke Dingguo's government behind this incident that was adding fuel to the flames?"
Although A Zhan is smart, he has always been playful. After he was in high school, he originally wanted to send him to the Hanlin Academy for two years of training, but he refused without thinking. He said that others studied hard to gain fame for their future.
He can become famous one day, but he is different. He is taller than others since he was born, so why bother to compete with those students who study hard for a position? In the end, I really can't shirk it, so I just beg myself to reward him with the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu.
Sinecure.
At that time, he had actually doubted whether there would be someone from Duke Dingguo's house behind this. With the mentality of giving it a try, he asked Lu Zhan to take a casual position in Jinyiwei as he wished. But what he didn't expect was that
, Although Lu Zhan received the casual post of Jinyiwei Qianhu, he never reported to Jinyiwei once. He was eating, drinking and having fun in the capital with Xiao Mubei, the prince of Zhennan, all day long. He obviously looked like a noble man who was greedy for comfort.
.
Since then, his love for Lu Zhan has grown to a higher level.
It was precisely because of his love for Lu Zhan that he was worried about what Duke Dingguo would do with him!
Just like this time.
Is it really because of the girls from Wu'an Hou's family that A Zhan planned to target Yang Xiao?
Seeing the worry in Emperor Zhengxuan's heart, Eunuch Liu pursed his lips slightly. He lowered his head and said respectfully to Emperor Zhengxuan, "Your Majesty, I don't know if Duke Dingguo's government is behind this matter, but there is one thing.
I am very sure about this."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"The second young master has indeed fallen in love with the girl from the Marquis Wu'an family. When he mentioned that girl, his expression was exactly the same as yours." Eunuch Liu said with a cheerful smile.
Emperor Zhengxuan was startled for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He glared at Eunuch Liu strangely, "I didn't ask you this!"
Eunuch Liu was not afraid either. He smiled, looked at Emperor Zhengxuan and said, "My servant is stupid. This is all I can see."
In fact, Emperor Zhengxuan didn't need him to say anything at all.
As early as last night, Wang Tao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, had already reported the cause of the matter to His Majesty. Even Yang Xiao's words to deceive Miss Chen Si were told without details. What Wang Tao said was different from what the Second Master Lu just said.
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but His Majesty still wanted to ask him this question one more time...
In the final analysis, His Majesty is just worried about Duke Ding!
Seeing Eunuch Liu's dejected look, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, and said, "Look at you like this, I can still punish you with just a few words!"
After hearing what Emperor Zhengxuan said, Eunuch Liu smiled, bowed and said to Emperor Zhengxuan, "I thank your Majesty for your generosity."
"You old man! It's so boring to talk to you!" Seeing Eunuch Liu keep yelling, Emperor Zhengxuan glanced at him in disappointment and said.
Eunuch Liu smiled coquettishly and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Emperor Zhengxuan respectfully.
Emperor Zhengxuan picked up the tea cup and blew lightly. Just when he was about to drink, a young eunuch suddenly walked in from outside. Seeing this, Eunuch Liu hurriedly greeted him. After a while, Eunuch Liu turned back and bowed.
He saluted Emperor Zhengxuan, and then said to him with a smile, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, commander of the Jinyi Guards, would like to see you."
With a 'clang' sound, Emperor Zhengxuan pushed back the tea lid. He put down the teacup and said in a deep voice, "Let him in!"
Li Fuyin stood in his yard with a gloomy expression. He looked at the house that had been torn apart by the Jin Yiwei, and listened to the fearful cries of his wife, children, and children. He just felt that all the blood in his body was pouring out!
From the moment he took over the case, he had expected that Yang Hefeng would not give up, but he did not expect that Yang Hefeng's methods would come so quickly and so cruelly!
How dare he forge a letter saying that he had liaison with the Tatars!
It's a shame he figured it out!
"Master Li, what do you have to say?" Yang Hefeng raised the corners of his lips, his cold eyes filled with pride and contempt!
Dare to go against him! He will let him know now, who is judging whom between him and him!
"These letters are not written in my handwriting, they are framed by someone else!" Li Fuyin stared at Yang Hefeng with cold eyes and said word by word.
"I have checked with someone. These letters are indeed written by Mr. Li. Moreover, I have also found out that Mr. Ling often frequents Guangju Building to entertain classmates. I heard that he also bought Yipizhaihua with a lot of money.
A square Duan Inkstone, I compare it with Li Fuyin’s monthly chart, that Fang Duan Inkstone is definitely not something you or Mr. Ling can afford.”
As if in agreement with Yang Hefeng's words, a team of guards in golden uniforms ran over immediately behind him, "Sir, let's collect this from Young Master Li's room!"
Yang Hefeng curved his lips and smiled, took the brocade box from Jin Yiwei and opened it in front of everyone.
Lying inside was the Fang Duan Inkstone that Yang Hefeng just mentioned.
"Master Li, the evidence is conclusive, please come with me to the Zhenfu Division!" Yang Hefeng said with squinting eyes.
"I didn't, Dad, I didn't buy Duan Inkstone. This Duan Inkstone is not mine!" Li Fuyin's son was frightened by Yang Hefeng's words. He hurried to Li Fuyin and spoke to him eagerly.
But Li Fuyin did not seem to hear what his son said. He looked at Yang Hefeng coldly and said loudly, "Master Yang, you are the deputy commander of the royal guards and have won the trust of His Majesty. But what you have done this time
Don’t you feel ashamed of Your Majesty?
"Master Yang, this case involves a lot of things. In my opinion, it would be best for me to go to the palace and report the matter to my father before making a decision!" King Qi couldn't help but say.
Seeing that Yang Xiao was about to be convicted, who would have thought that this would happen suddenly!
This matter must be manipulated by Yang Hefeng behind the scenes!
No, he must report this matter to his father!
Yang Hefeng pursed his lips and smiled. He raised his hand and bowed to King Qi, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. After I invite Mr. Li to the Zhenfu Division, I will go into the palace and report everything today to Your Majesty!" After that, he didn't wait any longer.
King Qi replied, waved his hand and said, "Come here, please invite everyone in the Li family to Zhenfusi!"
"Yes!" The Jinyi guards all responded, and then walked towards everyone in the Li Mansion.
"Yang Hefeng! How dare you! I am the Yingtian Fuyin personally named by His Majesty!" Li Fuyin was furious at Yang Hefeng's actions!
He is the Yin of Yingtian Mansion of the third rank!
Without His Majesty's order, even if Yang Hefeng is the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has no qualifications to search his mansion, let alone arrest him and his family to be tortured by the Zhenfu Division!
How dare he act so boldly!
Seeing Li Fuyin's angry and gradually losing his mind, Yang Hefeng smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Master Li, what you have committed is liaison with a foreigner and treason! I am the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Envoy, just in case, please come to the Zhenfu Division to sit down. Your Majesty can understand the painstaking efforts!"
Seeing Yang Hefeng looking like he was holding the winning ticket, King Qi couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Naturally, he believed in Li Fuyin, but Yang Hefeng dared to speak so truthfully and even left no escape route, presumably because he had full 'evidence' in his hand!
If this is the case, will he still want to help Li Fuyin now?
Just when King Qi was hesitant, a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside.
