Hope for luck

Chapter 460
Wang Yitan's igniting of the upper body eventually burned himself to ashes. When Emperor Tianfeng severely punished the Tian family, he also put Wang Yitan into the prison, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation to ask him what kind of relationship he had with the Tian family and whether there was benefit exchange and so on.

Now Wang Yitan couldn't tell even if he had seven or eight mouths. Just after he was healed by the imperial doctor, he was taken to the prison by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and interrogated repeatedly.

As for Wang Yitan's fate, Gao Pan no longer cared much about it. From the moment Wang Yitan took Tian Mixiang away from the prison in Chengtian Mansion, Gao Pan knew that Wang Yitan's fate was naturally extremely tragic.

All the members of the head branch of the Tian family were wiped out, not to mention Wang Yitan who spoke for the Tian family. What awaited him would be beheading, and implicate his family and clansmen.

This can be regarded as Gao Pan's second downfall after returning to Beijing. The other officials of the household department, after seeing Gao Pan, all walked around, and no one dared to underestimate him.

And Gao Pan's subordinates in the chief office were even more respectful to him, and they dared not disobey his orders in the slightest.

This made Gao Pan secretly happy. Recently, he was investigating some loopholes in the household department. With the support of his competent subordinates, he lived a very comfortable life.

...

After sitting down again, Gao Pan walked out of the yamen of the household department, but he didn't expect that someone was already waiting for him at the door.

Waiting for him was Lu E, the chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Seeing Gao Pan coming out, Lu E greeted him with a big smile on his face, not afraid that anyone around would see the intimate behavior of the two of them.

"Master Gao, the lord sent me a letter asking me to meet her. I think it's better to go with you, my lord!"

After hearing what Lu E said, Gao Pan couldn't deny it, let him follow his carriage, Gao Pan didn't want to take an official sedan chair, and he was going out of the city again, so Gao Pan always traveled by carriage.

Seeing that Gao Pan agreed, Lu E respectfully asked Gao Pan to get into the carriage, and he also got into his own carriage, followed Gao Pan's carriage, and came towards Qianying Villa.

And Ning Yan seemed to have received the news long ago, and was waiting for Gao Pan's return and Lu E's arrival in the main hall.

After Lu E saw Ning Yan, he was very excited:
"Princess... villain, villain finally sees you again, I bow down to you!"

Seeing this, Gao Pan was also taken aback. After all, Lu E is also the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a lot of power. Seeing Ning Yan at this moment, he looks like a wronged woman.

Ning Yan first came to Gao Pan's side to be gentle for a while, then raised her hand and said calmly:
"Director Lu, please excuse me, now I am no longer a princess, but just a concubine by my husband's side..."

Hearing this, Gao Pan couldn't help nodding her delicate nose. Ning Yan wrinkled her nose and couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Gao Pan.

Lu E saw the flirting between Ning Yan and Gao Pan, and said with emotion:

"Princess, the villain thinks that the current situation of the princess is what the villain wants to see the most. If it weren't for the old master and wife, the villain would not be where he is today. Seeing you so happy, the princess, the villain thinks it is worth it!"

After Gao Pan listened, he heard a different meaning, and hurriedly looked at Ning Yan and asked:

"Eunuch Lu is not from your Ning family?"

Ning Yan had previously told Gao Pan that people like Lu E, Liu Yuanliang and others were not surnamed Ning on the surface, but in fact their ancestors were surnamed Ning, but they changed their surname later.

Hearing Gao Pan's doubts, Ning Yan pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"He is naturally a descendant of my Ning family, but he didn't have a good life when he was a child, and then..."

After listening to Ning Yan's explanation, Gao Pan knew that Lu E was willing to enter the palace as an eunuch because of the favor of Ning Yan's parents.

I can't help but sigh with Lu E's luck that he was able to sit on the position of chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs so quickly.

Gao Pan then praised Lu E a few words, and Lu E also responded with a few words in a modest manner, and asked respectfully:
"...Princess, call the villain today, but what are your orders?"

After hearing this, Ning Yan pointed at Gao Pan with her green and white jade fingers:

"Lu E, from today onwards, you will be free, and you will no longer have to bear the wishes of the ancestors of the Ning family, you can live for yourself..."

"However, this is my husband-in-law, and I want you to take care of me in the future!"

When Lu E heard this, he knelt down quite excitedly, trembling and said:

"God, sorry! I, Lu E, can also hear you say this, princess. It's really great. The villain has always felt that restoring the country is not what you should do, nor is it the best choice!"

As Lu E kowtowed respectfully to Ning Yan a few times, Ning Yan saw this and hurriedly said:

"Grandpa Lu, don't be like this. Get up quickly. Speaking of it, I didn't realize until today that the restoration of the country is just the obsession and paranoia of the Ning family. Compared with the world, Beiyan is just dust of history. Mention..."

After hearing this, Lu E shed tears excitedly, then hurriedly lowered his head to wipe them away, and said with trembling lips:

"Okay, okay, the villain can hear what the princess said, even if he dies now, he will have no regrets..."

Looking at Gao Pan again, he continued:

"Mr. Gao, you can be regarded as a unique talent in the world. He is suave and elegant. Only he can be worthy of you, the princess. The villain only hopes that the princess can let go of her burden and live a good life. I think the princess will be able to if you are favored by Mr. Gao. Live happily ever after!"

Lu E, who let go of his identity and burdens, although he still called Ning Yan a princess, but in his words, he no longer cared about it, only his sincere wishes.

After hearing this, Ning Yan smiled sweetly, and the smile gradually spread, which instantly made Gao Pan a little dazed, and then heard her say in a delicate voice:

"Thank you, Eunuch Lu, I have really suffered for you these years. If you don't want to stay in the palace anymore, you can find a way to get out of the palace by yourself. From now on, the Ning family will not let you do any dangerous things again!"

When Lu E heard this, he bowed slightly:
"Thank you, princess, for your kindness. The villain is now familiar with the life in the palace. This life is the life of an eunuch. If it weren't for the old master and wife, I would have died long ago."

After Ning Yan heard this, she stopped talking about it, just stared at Gao Pan and said:

"Since that's the case, please ask Eunuch Lu to take care of Mr. Lu..."

Gao Pan saw that Ning Yan was full of himself, and couldn't help trembling in his heart. If it wasn't for Lu E, he would definitely have a good time with Ning Yan.

On the contrary, Lu E smiled wryly and said:
"Princess, you don't know yet. How long has it been since Mr. Gao Pan returned to Beijing? An uncle of the country, a fifth-rank master, has been overthrown by him. Even in the harem, Mr. Gao Pan's reputation is still high." pass it on..."

"In the previous court, I heard someone say that Mr. Gao Pan is still a 'butcher'. Don't worry, the princess, as long as Gao Pan doesn't provoke others, no one will dare to do anything to him!"

Ning Yan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard these words, she felt both proud and ashamed, but no matter what, Gao Pan was so 'fierce', which made her completely relieved.
