The Favoured Medical Princess: 187 Brothel
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
"Your Majesty, first there was a severe drought in Huaibei, and then there were riots by refugees, rebels against the party, and military disasters in Xirong. As a result, there were visions in the sky, and the heavenly dog eclipsed the sun. This is the anger of heaven. I also ask the emperor to issue an edict to punish you. Calm down the anger of the sky." Wen Yushi from the Yushitai knelt down in the Jinluan Hall and bowed his head and begged, "Please give me an edict to appease all the people."
It had only been two years since the emperor ascended the throne. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and military disasters came one after another. After finally quelling these disasters, the vision of the dog eating the sun came again.
Because of the Tengu solar eclipse, there have been many disputes between civil and military officials these days, because of whether the emperor should issue an edict that would offend him or not.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zong Zhengling sternly rebuked, "If there is a strange phenomenon in the sky, it can be blamed entirely on the emperor. Since there will be tengu eating the sun, those people in Qintian Prison are all eating The guy who did the work actually didn’t give a warning in advance to take precautions.”
These censors are so bold, they actually want the emperor to issue an edict to sin against themselves, what a joke!
If the emperor's sinners are punished, those rebels will have more to say. They will definitely accuse the emperor of not belonging to God's will. It will become a big joke. If it doesn’t work well, it may even shake people’s hearts.
"I'm guilty." Si Tianjian knelt down to plead guilty. The emperor was forced to commit the crime and already issued an edict. He, a little Si Tianjian, couldn't stay out of the matter.
"This cannot be entirely blamed on Si Tianjian." Another minister came forward to report, "This providential will is unpredictable. God deliberately deceives the world. Even if Si Tianjian has the ability to reach the sky, he cannot know it."
Si Tianjian was grateful, but he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he lowered his head even lower.
"Since God intends to deceive, it means that God is angry and warns with visions." Wen Yushi begged again, "It is because of the failure of government, and the emperor is asked to issue an edict to punish himself."
The emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was simply forcing himself to confess.
Soon, the ministers began to argue with each other:
"Every official is also responsible for the failure of the government. If the officials fail to repair themselves, it is not all the fault of the emperor."
“If officials fail to practice and the government orders are improper, doesn’t it mean that the emperor’s decree is not careful?”
"..."
The emperor looked at the quarrel among the ministers below with a dark face. They had been arguing for seven days since the Tengu Eclipse, and they didn't even get tired of it!
From the quarrel at the top to the bottom, there was almost a person who crashed to death in this hall to force him!
At this time, Xuan Pingbo stood up and said righteously: "Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have experienced natural and man-made disasters, but now they have all been calmed down. The war in Xirong has stopped and peace has been negotiated, and your Majesty is also in good health. Isn't that right? Can we say that this vision is a sin sent down from heaven, a punishment from heaven?"
The emperor nodded repeatedly as he listened, yes, everything is obviously fine now, so where is the punishment from heaven? He glanced at Uncle Xuan Ping appreciatively. He was indeed his confidant, and he won his heart. Next time he would find an opportunity to quickly restore Count Xuan Ping to the title. He didn't know how his son was doing recently.
"Your Majesty, on this day when the dog eats the sun and the people are in fear, we still need to comfort him." Xuan Pingbo bent down and suggested respectfully, "I think we can choose an auspicious day to pray to heaven..."
That is to sacrifice to heaven! The emperor half-squinted his eyes, feeling moved.
The other civil and military ministers looked at each other. These days, the emperor was unwilling to issue edicts that would offend himself, and they also saw it in their eyes. It would not be good to force him too much. In this case, it is best for everyone to take a step back. For a while, even the most upright Yushi Wen was secretly thinking about offering sacrifices to heaven.
Zong Zhengling took a step forward, bowed and said: "I second the proposal!"
Immediately afterwards, more and more ministers came forward to request sacrifices to the sky.
……
"Accurate." After thinking for a moment, the emperor finally spoke, and everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is undoubtedly the best thing for Tengu to end like this.
Satisfying heaven to soothe people's hearts is not as good as the emperor personally issuing an edict to sin against oneself, but overall it is still satisfactory.
"Zhuqin Tianjian calculated the auspicious time today...retreat from the court!"
With the sound of "retreat from the court", Si Tianjian breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that his life was finally saved.
After retiring from the court, Qin Tianjian worked non-stop to calculate the auspicious time, and the latest auspicious time was three days later.
According to the rules of this dynasty, on the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, all officials of the third rank and above in the royal capital, as well as their legitimate children, need to go to the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven. Therefore, edicts were also sent to various prefectures.
After Xiao Yi received the edict, he returned to the study, threw it aside, then picked up the dagger and carved a knife heavily on the wall, sighing: "Time flies so slowly!"
However, he was not just waiting for news in the mansion.
Xiao Yi didn’t think that his stinky girl would reject him at all. In the past three days, he was busy running to Princess Yongyang’s mansion, shamelessly pestering Yongyang to propose marriage to the emperor. According to Yongyang’s reliable information, , the emperor is already moved, and only needs the last fire.
So, for the next three days, he spent the next three days in his house thinking hard about how to light the last fire...
I haven’t seen that stinky girl for several days, so boring... Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he took over the edict that he had just thrown aside.
At the festival in three days' time... the stinky girl should also be there, right? Doesn't that mean he can see her a day earlier?
Xiao Yi was immediately elated. He felt that the emperor understood his thoughts so well that he almost wanted to doze off, so he immediately sent him a pillow.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Cheng Yu's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Yi said in a good mood: "Come in."
Cheng Yu walked in gracefully, saluted Xiao Yi, and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from southern Xinjiang. The queen concubine left from southern Xinjiang with Miss Fang a few days ago and is now on her way. On the way to the royal capital."
As soon as he heard the word "step princess", Xiao Yi said impatiently: "Didn't I say that I would just throw them back to southern Xinjiang. Don't bother me with such trivial matters."
"Your Majesty," Cheng Yu reminded with a smile in his eyes, "don't forget, the princess will be needed to recruit you then."
If this marriage is really settled, it will not be solemn enough if none of the groom's elders are present when the appointment is made. Even if the marriage is granted by imperial decree, it is very insincere to the woman. The step princess may have come at the right time this time...
"Recruitment?" Xiao Yi's eyes sparkled like stars for an instant, and he said with a smile, "Cheng Yu, you are right." If everything goes according to plan and there are no accidents, he will be the same. The girl's marriage plan was successful, and Xiao Fang's family was indeed needed. Thinking of this, he raised his voice and shouted, "Bamboo!"
Zhuzi, who had been guarding the door, immediately ran in. Before he could say anything, Xiao Yi impatiently ordered: "Find a few people to clear out the place where the step princess used to live."
"There is also Miss Fang Si." Cheng Yu reminded.
"Yes, there is also that Fang Si," Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and said in disgust, "Just pick a courtyard for her that is closer to the princess. Remember to stay away from Fufeng Courtyard!" Wait for him After they get married, they will move into the inner house. This Fufeng Courtyard was specially chosen by him. From now on, where he and the stinky girl will live, those unscrupulous people will naturally be as far away as possible.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuzi responded and went to make arrangements. Anyway, the royal capital and southern Xinjiang are far apart, so there is still some time to prepare.
Xiao Yi giggled and imagined what it would be like to go to Xiapin. After a while, he came back to his senses and asked: "By the way, Cheng Yu, how did you do with the matter I asked you to investigate?" Xiao Yi It is about the envoy from Xirong proposing marriage to Nangong Yue.
Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "The prince is still investigating." He also felt that his prince would not be satisfied with such a report, so he added, "The envoy from Xirong has been going there every day in recent days. Zangchun Tower on Mi Fang Street, but we haven’t found out yet who they have a special relationship with.”
Cheng Yu also felt a little helpless. Although the connections and power in the hands of his eldest son were growing rapidly at an unimaginable speed, after all, he started a little late, and many places had not yet had time to penetrate. It's okay on weekdays, but once something happens, like now, the information doesn't come in time enough.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi's ears suddenly twitched, he suddenly looked out the window, and waved Cheng Yu back.
Almost the next moment, a slightly thin figure appeared outside the window. Xiaosi looked sternly and glanced over with indifferent eyes, looking straight into Xiao Yi's eyes through the window.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to the window, and waved lazily to Xiao Si.
Xiao Si walked out of the window expressionlessly and handed a plain white letter across the window frame, "My young master gave it to you."
Xiao Yi flipped his fingers and opened the letter simply. The plain white letter made his fair and slender fingers look really beautiful.
After reading only one line, his eyes darkened, a dangerous aura emitted from his body, and he read the letter as fast as he could.
What Guan Yubai said in the letter is exactly what Xiao Yi wants to know most these days——
The person who instigated the Xirong envoy to marry Nangong Yue was Yu Chengfeng, the minister of the Ministry of War. For this reason, Yu Chengfeng even used the smelting technology of the Bailiang steel knife used by Dayu's army as a condition for the transaction with the Xirong envoy. .
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed. Yu Chengfeng was simply audacious. He leaked the smelting plan, just like leaking military aircraft. If he was careless, he lost his head and even harmed the nine tribes. It can only be said that he is to blame. But if it harms the entire Dayu , thousands of people, that are the eternal sinners!
In the end, Xiao Yi's eyes were fixed on the last sentence of the letter, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, with a cold light.
Yu Chengfeng is the confidant of Concubine Zhang and the third prince Han Lingfu!
It turns out that these two people were behind it!
The murderous intention suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi's heart, and he really wished that one person could kill them all with one knife.
In recent days, someone in the court proposed that the second princess get married, and Xiao Yi naturally knew about it. Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhang and the third prince actually pointed the finger at Nangong Yue in order to help the second princess get rid of the marriage dilemma. , even at the expense of selling the top-secret technology of smelting weapons!
But why is it someone else but a stinky girl? I don’t know what the stinky girl did to hinder Concubine Zhang and the Third Prince!
Seeing Xiao Yi's evil look, Xiaosi turned a blind eye and said coldly: "The letter has been brought, I'm leaving."
But when he turned around, he saw Xiao Yi deftly holding on to the window frame, easily jumping to his side and saying, "I'll go with you to the Anyi Hou Mansion."
Xiaosi's face darkened, and he turned around and left without looking back.
Xiao Yi didn't care about his attitude of not wanting to pay attention to him at all, and followed him directly.
Under the blue sky and white sun, the two of them were flying along the walls, taking a small path to the Anyi Hou Mansion, and climbing over the wall.
As soon as Xiao Yi landed, he looked around keenly. There were really many masters hidden in this mansion. If I hadn't come with Xiaosi, I might not have gotten in so easily.
So, do you want to come over and challenge me one day? A flash of interest flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.
Over the wall is the courtyard where Guan Yubai's study is located, so as soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, Guan Yubai, who was sitting by the window, saw them and raised his eyebrows. He asked Xiao Si to deliver the message, but he brought back a living person.
"Xiao Bai!" Xiao Yi waved to Guan Yubai with a smile and walked into the study swaggeringly.
Guan Yubai looked helpless. It seemed that this title could not be corrected.
Xiao Yi didn't need anyone to greet him. He sat down with Guan Yubai across the table and poured himself a cup of tea. "Xiao Yi, I read your letter." As he said that, his expression changed. He became solemn and serious, "This time, I owe you one time." He looked at Guan Yubai momentarily. On the surface, he was thanking Guan Yubai for his help, but in fact, he was also declaring his sovereignty.
His dark eyes were magnanimous, as if he were saying——
Stinky girl, she’s mine! Even if it's you, I won't give in!
As smart as Guan Yubai, how could he not know what Xiao Yi was hinting at? He was not surprised, or maybe he was a little surprised. He had known that Xiao Yi was interested in Nangong Yue, but he did not expect that Xiao Yi could survive until today. Take a stand yourself.
His eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and he looked directly at Xiao Yi openly.
A gentleman is magnanimous. He was once such a sunny young man, pursuing his dreams diligently, believing that there was nothing in the world that he could not achieve, but now he is full of holes.
She, like the bright moon in the night sky, deserves a man as bright as the sun to match her!
Guan Yu curled up the corners of his lips, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, and said lightly: "Then I will remember that Ayi owes me this time, and I will definitely get it back one day."
His meaning is also very clear. Xiao Yi owes him this time, not Nangong Yue. This favor belongs to Xiao Yi.
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth turned up, his eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile, as bright as summer flowers, and his face seemed to be glowing.
At that moment, Xiao Yi felt a little nervous. It was rare for him to get along so well with Guan Yubai. It would be a bit of a pity if he had to stand on opposite sides.
Now, he can finally feel relieved.
A huge boulder fell in his heart. Xiao Yi smiled brighter and brighter, but soon his expression straightened and he asked: "Xiao Bai, what do you think about the incident in Xirong?"
Xiao Yi originally didn't care about what happened in the Western Territory. After all, it was the Southern Border that he needed to guard in the future, not the Western Territory. But when the Xirong people arrived in Dayu, they all started thinking about his stinky girl, which made him very unhappy.
The Xirong people would be so unscrupulous and arrogant. The fundamental problem was that Dayu was too weak and retreated step by step, and that was why he was forced to do this. If it weren't for his identity as a hostage, the emperor was so wary of him, Xiao Yi really wanted to lead his troops to Feixia Mountain himself and drive all those who dared to covet the stinky girl back to Xirong.
Guan Yubai smiled slightly and said: "Actually, in this battle, even if I, Dayu, do not seek peace, Xirong may not continue to fight. Xirong's general Tuoba Ren is not only a fierce general, but also a General Yuan Zhi. He had known that this battle would probably not last long, so he broke through Hengshan Pass in one go, entered Bingzhou, captured Xihe County, Shangdang County... and fought all the way to Feixia Mountain. His purpose was not just to fight quickly. The purpose of a quick decision is to put pressure on the imperial court and weaken Dayu's momentum first, creating the illusion that the Xirong army is invincible and can break through the Central Plains immediately."
Even though he was talking about a really serious issue at the moment, Guan Yubai still looked gentle. He poured himself a cup of tea and continued unhurriedly: "Actually, Tuoba Ren knew very well that once he was really hit, To the east of Feixia Mountain, the entire front will be stretched, and Xirong's troops and supplies will not be able to keep up. If he is not careful, his army may even be trapped in the Central Plains and become a turtle in the urn. Now the court only sees The Xirong army is as powerful as a broken bamboo and unstoppable, but they don’t know that all the people in Xirong may not be united."
Guan Yubai's body showed no trace of the spirit of years of fighting on the battlefield. His every move seemed elegant and calm. "Unlike the southern barbarians that A Yi is familiar with, this Xirong is composed of twelve small tribes. , more than thirty years ago, the current King of Xirong defeated eleven other neighboring tribes, unified the twelve tribes, and proclaimed himself the King of Xiye."
He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "In the early years, King Xiye was young, energetic and strong, so he could naturally suppress all tribes. But now King Xiye is Lianpo old, and his The three sons are in their prime, and each of them is eyeing the position of King Xiye, and the various clans are also ready to make a move. At this time, various forces in Xirong are in a stalemate, and all parties are watching carefully. Everyone is afraid that if troops are sent to assist Tuoba Ren, But if there is a fire in the rear, it is a small loss and a big loss, and it will be too late to regret it!"
Xiao Yi thought thoughtfully. Although he was not familiar with Xirong, judging from what Zhiwei could see, he was indeed far inferior to Guan Yubai.
"If my guess is correct," Guan Yubai clasped his fingers lightly on the table and muttered, "this peace negotiation is the best outcome that Tuoba Ren expected, and all the forces in Xirong are also eager to negotiate a peace. What's more, it was me, Dayu, who took the initiative to seek peace, so Xirong naturally hopes to take advantage of the opportunity to seek the best interests. In fact, for Xirong, it doesn't matter who is going to make the marriage, what's important is who can bring them benefits."
So, as soon as Concubine Zhang and the third prince proposed to exchange weapons smelting skills, the Xirong envoy immediately asked the emperor to marry Princess Yaoguang.
It doesn't matter if she is a princess or a princess, she is just a woman anyway. If she is taken back and thrown into the harem, she will not be able to change the world. But exchanging a woman for the smelting diagram is so worth it!
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding an awe-inspiring murderous intent.
What I still don’t understand is why Concubine Zhang and her son chose the stinky girl as a substitute for marriage.
Guan Yu raised his white eyebrows slightly, interrupted his thoughts and said: "Ayi, although the emperor has rejected the Xirong envoy, in order to obtain the smelting diagram, the Xirong envoy may not give up... But no matter what There is no development, you just need to remember, don’t be impatient and don’t mess up your own pace!" He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said meaningfully, "It is actually the easiest to deal with people who only care about interests. Just think about it in terms of profit."
Xiao Yi did not hide his anger at all, but nodded calmly: "I know. Xiaobai... I won't act rashly. No, when it comes to interests... maybe you can let me take a breath first. , so that they don’t dare to have any idea of her."
Guan Yu's white eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately understood Xiao Yi's intention.
Xiao Yi stood up, waved his hand casually and said: "I'm leaving first, Xiaobai. I'll come to you for tea next time."
Xiao Yi climbed out of the window naturally. Then, a secret door in the study opened automatically, and a man in black robe walked out. His long black hair was only loosely tied with a black ribbon. , seems very casual.
He stared at Guan Yubai in confusion, but his tone was extremely sharp: "Yubai, since you have your heart, why don't you go for it?" He seemed casual, but there was a sigh hidden in his heart. After his whole family was raided, Guan Yubai seemed to be a completely different person, losing his previous ambition and vitality. Now, he seems to be living only for the departed souls of the official family.
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, picked up the unfinished book on the desk and started reading.
The man in black robe touched his nose boredly, it was so boring!
He really can't understand the current official language Bai! I really miss the boy who used to say anything! Unlike now, talking to him is like playing a guessing game...
……
After Xiao Yi left An Yihou Mansion, he only did one thing, and ordered someone to send a secret letter to the third prince Han Lingfu.
Then he waited patiently.
That night, he slept well. The first thing he did after waking up was to make another cut on the wall with his dagger. Then he looked at the seven knife marks on the wall stupidly and laughed for a long time.
I went to the yard to do a set of boxing, then went back to the study to change some clothes, and then went to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
The commotion over the Tengu Sun Eclipse has not completely subsided, but Dongcheng is still much more contented under Xiao Yi's thunderous methods.
Xiao Yi took a casual tour of the streets, and at dusk, he directly ordered a few people to go to Mifang Street.
Mifang Street is the most famous place for fireworks in the capital. It was already dusk, and the whole street was lit up with bright red lanterns, decorating the whole street as if it were daytime.
After entering Mi Fang Street, Xiao Yi went straight to Zangchun House, the most luxurious brothel on Mi Fang Street.
The smell of fragrant powder that filled the whole street made Xiao Yi feel a little uncomfortable. Standing in front of the Zangchun Tower, he didn’t even look at the madam who was greeting them diligently. He waved and said, "You guys come in!"
The deputy commander of Dongcheng, Feng Shuxuan, was promoted by Xiao Yi. Naturally, he understood his boss's thoughts best. Seeing his disgusted look, he wisely took the initiative to lead people into Zangchun Tower.
The madam was startled and hurriedly came to stop her, but those people would not listen to her and ran rampant in the Zangchun Tower. The girls were so frightened that they screamed, and the guests even hid with their heads in their hands. Those who couldn't avoid it were pushed away and fell to the ground.
There was chaos in the Cangchun Tower. The old bustard became anxious and shouted quickly: "Everyone...do you know whose property this Cangchun Tower belongs to?"
To be able to establish a foothold in this royal capital and dominate Mifang Street, if there is no one behind it, I am afraid that it will be taken away by others, and the Zangchun Tower is the property of King Qi. Although this is not known to everyone in the royal capital, it is not considered a secret either.
But who is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division? To put it more harshly, it was a group of dandy boys from the royal capital, hanging out together. Who were they afraid of? What's more, with the support of the boss Xiao Yi, he acted even more unscrupulously. Feng Shuxuan impatiently pushed the madam away and led people straight to the second floor.
"Search!"
Feng Shuxuan gave an order, and a dozen people behind him rushed into different boxes.
"Yeah——"
Frightened shouts came from each box, and the entire Zangchun Tower was in chaos.
The madam was very upset by their unreasonable behavior. While busy appeasing the guests, he hurriedly sent people to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Bang!
At the same time that one of the box doors was knocked open, everyone saw Han Lingfu sitting in it. Besides Han Lingfu, there were two other people, one of whom was thin and the other was full of curls. His beard looked like it came from a foreign land. Several gorgeous women in gorgeous clothes were accompanying him, pouring wine and playing the piano.
They were both startled by this sudden situation.
"Third Prince?"
A young man who led the order to search Zangchun Tower screamed out in surprise. He deliberately let go of his voice. For a moment, almost everyone knew that the third prince had come to Zangchun Tower.
The emperor has five princes in total, but he has not established a prince yet, and his legitimate son is weak and sick. Therefore, some people in the royal capital are beginning to get ready to obtain the merit of following the dragon. There are already several factions in the court, especially the eldest prince, second prince and third prince who are almost adults and are the most favored by these courtiers.
Since Xiao Yi broke into the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, he has managed his group of people to be submissive. When he was brought out this time, no one in his family was on the side of the third prince Han Lingfu. On the contrary, the families behind three of them were die-hard loyalists to the eldest prince and the second prince respectively.
Han Lingfu's face turned pale, and his guards quickly protected him and left in a panic.
No one stopped them, and they were allowed to go down the stairs. At the same time, the door of a wing not far away was knocked open, and then someone shouted: "Found them, take them down!"
What followed was an even louder noise.
Han Lingfu didn't care to see what was going on, and ran out of Zangchun Tower as if running away, but he ran into the young man wearing light armor and wearing a lazy smile.
"Third Prince?" Xiao Yi said with a surprised look on his face, "Why are you here?"
Han Lingfu couldn't help but be startled, "Prince Xiao?"
"It's just right." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "You can bear witness to me, and I will be able to give an explanation when the emperor asks. Lest the imperial censor impeach me for being unscrupulous and maliciously disturbing the people, your appearance was too timely. Come on! Come on, come with me to see the emperor."
Han Lingfu's expression changed, he took a step back and said, "No, I...I..." What should he say? Why did he appear in this brothel? No explanation makes sense! He could only say sternly: "Prince Xiao, just think that I owe you a favor for this matter..."
Xiao Yi pretended to be troubled and said, "I'm afraid this matter cannot be hidden..." As he spoke, he approached Han Lingfu and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Third Prince, When you were plotting against Nangong Yue, did you think that today would happen?"
Han Lingfu was really shocked this time and blurted out: "Xiao Yi, you..."
"Third Prince." Xiao Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly, covering up his anger with a wanton and flamboyant smile, "You should think about how you should explain to the emperor why you are here. Let’s meet privately with the Xirong envoy.”
"Xiao Yi!" Han Lingfu's breath was also a little confused. For the first time in his life, he panicked and said hurriedly, "Just for a woman, are you worth it?"
Xiao Yi smiled and asked instead: "I have done everything, Third Prince, do you think it is worth it?"
"Commander Xiao!" At this time, Feng Shuxuan had already had three people escorted out of Zangchun Tower, "They have been caught!"
"Bring back the Wucheng Army." Xiao Yi glanced meaningfully at the pale Han Lingfu, and said openly, "I have to go to the palace to apologize!" After saying that, he rode away directly.
Feng Shuxuan faced his back and responded respectfully: "Yes!"
Han Lingfu stood there in a daze, suddenly came to his senses, and said quickly: "Quick, get into the palace!"
The Crown Prince of Zhennan, a well-known dandy in the royal capital, and the future King of Zhennan, is undoubtedly the one he wants to be friends with for Han Lingfu who wants to seize the throne. His relationship with Xiao Yi cannot be said to be very good, but it is not too bad. Anyway, his two royal brothers have only mediocre contacts with Xiao Yi. Han Lingfu is not too anxious, so he wants to marry the second princess. He was also quite active regarding Xiao Yi, but he didn't expect...
Nangong Yue, it turns out that not only her father intends to allocate her to Xiao Yi, but even Xiao Yi himself also has this intention! It was really a mistake, every step of the way. He should not have listened to the emperor's words and made the idea of getting married to Nangong Yue in the first place, so that he actually offended Xiao Yi.
Han Lingfu rode his horse towards the palace. The palace gate was not closed at this time. After entering the imperial city, he dismounted and went directly to Chang'an Palace.
I learned from a young chamberlain that the emperor had not rested yet and was receiving Xiao Yi, the eldest son of Prince Zhennan, in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Han Lingfu felt a thump in his heart and ordered someone to report the matter on his behalf. Not long after, the emperor announced his entry.
After entering Dongnuan Pavilion, Han Lingfu lifted up his robe and saluted respectfully: "My son, I see you, the emperor."
The emperor did not ask him to lie down, so Han Lingfu could only maintain his saluting posture, not daring to move, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"Brother Yi, keep talking."
"Yes. Uncle Emperor." Xiao Yi was standing on one side, reporting to the emperor, "...when I was renovating Dongcheng a few days ago, I encountered a group of remnants of the previous dynasty. They took advantage of the dog eating the sun that day. They are spreading rumors and causing trouble, accusing the emperor... of causing natural and man-made disasters. These people are extremely cunning. I have been arresting them for several days. I just got the news today that they went to Zangchun Tower. Now they are in the five cities. The cell of the Department of Soldiers and Horses! I just didn't expect..." He looked back at Han Lingfu and said helplessly, "I will see the third prince there. There are people coming and going in Zangchun Tower, and I'm afraid I can't hide it now... …”
Xiao Yi knelt down on one knee, clasped his fist and said, "I am not being cautious enough. Please punish me."
"Brother Yi, get up. What's your fault in this matter? Are you asked to go to the brothel to arrest someone, to see if my prince is there?" At this point, the emperor directly He picked up the inkstone on the desk and threw it towards Han Lingfu, and sneered, "You think so, my third prince!"
The inkstone fell beside him with a "bang" and ink splashed all over him. Han Lingfu did not dare to raise his head and just repeated: "I know my mistake!"
"You know your mistake, you know your mistake, what else can you say besides knowing your mistake?" the emperor cursed angrily, "My prince actually went to a brothel to look for flowers and willows... Okay, it's really great!"
"Father, please calm down, I know I was wrong." Han Lingfu said sincerely, "Please take care of yourself."
The emperor walked over, kicked him, and said, "Of course I have to take care, lest I be angry to death by you unfilial sons."
Han Lingfu did not dodge and was kicked to the ground hard by the emperor. He grunted in pain and quickly got up, his head bent deeply on the ground without any excuse.
However, Han Lingfu felt a little strange in his heart. Until now, his father had not asked him why he met those Xirong envoys, but was just angry because he went to the brothel. Could it be that... Xiao Yi Didn't you tell your father?
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu cautiously probed: "Father, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to that place out of curiosity... I made a mistake, please punish me."
"Curious?" the emperor said with a sneer, "It seems that the master who went to the study recently gave you too little homework, so you are so curious!"
Han Lingfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yi really didn't say anything, why?
Could it be that Xiao Yi didn't want to break up with him, but just gave himself a warning because he had plotted against Nangong Yue this time?
Xiao Yi stood aside and looked at him with interest. He did not say anything about the envoy from Xirong, but it was not necessary. Sooner or later, this matter would reach the emperor's ears. Instead, he said it from his own mouth, It will be a little too deliberate and arouse suspicion.
As Guan Yubai said, it is actually the easiest to deal with those who pay attention to interests. You only need to clearly put the interests in front of them.
