The happy life of a prodigal

A round of bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting moonlight, and stretching the shadows of several people very long.

Fang Xiu saw his dejected look, and comforted him: "There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, so I say students...

What's the use of being born in a noble family? It's not that you have a chronic illness, you can neither serve as an official nor benefit the people, you have ambitions, but you have no place to put them to good use. From time to time, you will suffer from brain diseases... .”

Doctor Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu.

Heart said: You brat is very bad, it's no wonder the old man believes you!

Just as Fang Xiu was lamenting his ill-fated fate, there was a sudden commotion outside the yard.

Just as he was about to let Bai Xiaochun go out to have a look, a group of armored soldiers rushed in with swords in hand.

The leader, with a ferocious face and an evil spirit, had just stepped into the courtyard and shouted loudly, "Where is Fang Xiu!"

Seeing their posture, Fang Xiu felt a 'thump' in his heart.

With a calm face, she patted Xiu'er's tightly clenched little hands, stood up, and said, "I am Fang Xiu, who are you and what's the matter?"

The leader of the pro-army looked Fang Xiu up and down, ignored him, just waved his hand, and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, capture Fang Xiu, Uncle Anping, and enter the palace to face the Holy... come, take away!"

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers rushed up, tied Fang Xiu with a rope, and escorted him to the palace.

Seeing the menacing pro-army, Fang Xiu felt so uneasy for the first time.

Fang Mansion is not close to the imperial palace, it was already a long journey, but because of anxiety, it seemed even more distant.

His hands were tied, and they were not untied until they reached the Nuan Pavilion.

Looking up at the angry Emperor Chu, Fang Xiu shouted loudly without saying a word: "Your Majesty, I...have been wronged!"

This voice is full of breath.

Physician Liu who was sitting by the side was startled and held back, so he didn't get up and run away.

On the other hand, Emperor Chu had black lines on his face, and said coldly: "You said you were wronged...Okay, let's listen to how I wronged you..."

Fang Xiu glanced at Imperial Physician Liu beside him, and said, "I have brain disease."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the Emperor Chu didn't know what to say, took a deep breath, and then said: "If you have a brain disorder, you can act recklessly, arrogant and domineering... harming the court ministers!?

You know, deceiving the king is a capital offense! "

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback.

It's understandable to act recklessly and arrogantly.

What does this have to do with Laozi's harming the court ministers?

"Your Majesty has wronged the minister, and the minister did not do anything wrong, did not act arrogantly, did not harm the ministers of the court, and did not deceive the emperor."

Fang Xiu had an aggrieved face and argued.

The Emperor Chu's anger reached the extreme, he slammed the table, and said sharply: "I still want to quibble, I ask you, where is the imperial doctor I sent!?"

Fang Xiu looked at Imperial Physician Liu beside him, and said, "Isn't Imperial Physician Liu sitting here?"

Chu Huang looked at Fang Xiu, saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and felt a heavy punch on the cotton in his heart.

Is this kid really stupid, or just pretending to be stupid?

"I'm not talking about Doctor Liu!"

Chu Huang said coldly.

Fang Xiu was startled for a moment, then immediately realized, and said, "Your Majesty is talking about Imperial Physician Yan?"

Emperor Chu was still angry, but just looked at Fang Xiu coldly, and ignored him.

If there is no denial, it is the default.

No wonder the Emperor Chu made such a big move this time, and even sent his own army. It turned out that it was because of this...

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, and said loudly: "Yan Yuyi is eating hot pot in the minister's mansion right now, and nothing is damaged. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the relatives in the minister's mansion."

Although I don't know what hot pot is, but according to what he said, it is definitely not a poison...

Hearing Fang Xiu's words, Emperor Chu glanced at Liu Cheng beside him.

Liu Cheng understood immediately, saluted, and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion. After a while, he returned to Emperor Chu's side and whispered something in his ear.

Chu Huang's face became even uglier.

However, this time, his eyes were on Doctor Liu...

Chapter 65 Entering the Palace on Duty

The Emperor of Chu looked at Liu Yuyi coldly, and said, "Yan Qing's family was murdered in Fang Mansion, but the Qing family saw it with their own eyes?"

Hearing His Majesty addressing himself as Qing's family instead of Aiqing, Doctor Liu subconsciously felt something was wrong.

Glancing at Fang Xiu secretly, gritted his teeth, and replied: "Although the old minister didn't see it with his own eyes, but Fang... Zhonglang rushed to Yan Yuyi with a knife, but the old minister saw it clearly."

Fang Xiu turned his gaze to Yuyu Liu and said, "I took the knife to peel apples for Yuyu Yan. How could it be a murder in the eyes of Yuyu Liu?"

Peel...peel an apple...

Do you dare to lie any more?

Doctor Liu looked at Fang Xiu, opened his mouth, and was about to say something.

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: "Since you didn't see it, how can you be sure that Yan Qing's family was murdered, and how can you cry in front of me?"

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liu felt a chill in his heart, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Damn the old minister..."

The Emperor of Chu snorted coldly, stood up, and said: "I said before that it is taboo for you to listen to one side and believe one side. I have always kept it in my heart, but I didn't expect that I would make the same mistake again today. I... ...."

Sighing, he continued: "I'm tired, Liu Qing's family, you can go down."

Doctor Liu understands.

Imperial doctor Yan was not killed, so he explained that his previous words were all groundless slander.

Regardless of the facts, His Majesty no longer cares about who is really responsible. What he cares about is...

The trusted courtier deceived him.

His Majesty is kind, without any punishment, it is already extraordinarily merciful.

If we continue to defend ourselves, it is hard to say whether the final result will still be as it is now.

Although he was not convinced, he was helpless.

Doctor Liu showed bitterness on his face, and kowtowed heavily: "Old minister...resign."

After he left, Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu, and said calmly: "You go down too, go back and make preparations, and you will be on duty in the palace tomorrow."

Fang Xiu was a little confused.

What does it mean?

Didn't Doctor Liu say that he has a chronic illness that prevents him from being an official?

Although he was very reluctant, but seeing the posture of the Emperor Chu, he was as bold as Fang Xiu, and he did not dare to be presumptuous any more. He saluted and said, "I obey."

After finishing speaking, he retreated slowly and left the Nuan Pavilion.

For a while, only the Emperor Chu and his personal eunuch Liu Cheng were left in the Nuan Ge.

Emperor Chu seemed a little tired, sat back on the dragon chair, and said softly, "Pour tea."

Liu Cheng hurriedly filled the teacup.

Emperor Chu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked casually, "In your opinion, is Fang Xiu really stupid, or is he pretending to be stupid?"

Liu Cheng bowed and replied: "This servant thinks that a real fool is someone with great wisdom, just like... General Fang Zhonglang."

Emperor Chu turned his head, glanced at Liu Cheng, shook his head, but said nothing more.

He just picked up a stack of memorials from the desk and read them carefully.

............

Fangfu.

Back in the yard, it was already late at night.

Neither Xiu'er nor Bai Xiaochun fell asleep, but were waiting for him at the door.

Fang Xiu comforted them a few words before returning to the room.

Going back and forth like this, no matter how much energy he has, it has been exhausted.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Xiu'er had been waiting outside the door early on, and when she heard the movement in the room, she immediately opened the door and walked in.

Yesterday, when the young master returned home, he said that he was going to be on duty in the palace this morning.

As the young master's personal servant girl, it is natural to take care of everything.

Therefore, she didn't sleep well all night.

Before dawn, he got up, arranged the young master's clothes, boiled hot water, and waited at the door.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the young master to wake up.

Fang Xiu opened his eyes, and before he recovered his senses, there was a soft and sweet voice next to his ear: "Young master, this servant is waiting for you to change clothes."

It is the first time to be on duty in the palace, so of course you have to be more particular about your attire.

On weekdays, Fang Xiu's clothes are all taken care of by the little maid.

In the past, she was particularly concerned about this, and even more so today.

The selected jade pendants and clothes are all of the best quality and well-matched.

After changing his clothes, he stood in front of the bronze mirror and took a picture.

Fang Xiu himself couldn't help admiring: what a gentle and elegant young man.

The little maid stood aside, looking at the dressed young master, her pretty face was flushed, her head was lowered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, and said with a smile: "The young master has gone to the palace, you should be well at home, don't run around, you were bullied, but there is no young master to protect you."

The little servant girl's already flushed pretty face became even redder, and she whispered: "Xiu'er is the young master's personal maid, no one will bully Xiu'er..."

In this era, most of the close maids will become the master's concubine, not to mention that Xiu'er is deeply loved by the young master and his wife.

The servants in the mansion naturally understood what this meant, so no one dared to bully Xiu'er.

Fang Xiu also knew this well, rubbed Xiu'er's little head, and walked out of the yard.

Outside the Fang residence, there had been a carriage waiting for a long time.

He got into the carriage, waved to Xiu'er, and the carriage moved forward slowly, embarking on the road to the palace.

The palace of Chu State is divided into inner city and outer city.

The inner city is the harem, where the royal family lived and lived.

The outer city is where civil and military officials work.

The sixteen guards of the pro-army, eight of which are stationed on the outskirts of the outer city of the palace, are responsible for the safety of the palace.

It is also the emperor's most direct military force, the last barrier in front of the emperor of Chu.

Most of the ancestors of the eight guards had the experience of being a dragon. Compared with ordinary soldiers, their loyalty is beyond doubt.

Among them, the captain, general Zhonglang, and even the general are all descendants of honor.

Therefore, the emperor also trusted him very much.

The carriage stopped at a distance of five hundred steps from the palace and could not move forward.

Fang Xiu got off the carriage and walked straight into the palace.

In the past two days, entering and exiting the palace became more frequent, causing all the guards to recognize this face.

Before Fang Xiu could show his badge for entering the palace, he voluntarily let him go.

Habayashi Weixin has a Zuo Zhonglang general, surnamed Fang, who is the son of General Dingyuan An Pingbo.
