Back in Luo Mansion, Luo Wenge didn't delay at all, sent Jiang Lin and Luo Rong away, and he went to Fengqi Hall through the secret road.
When he left with the lantern, he was still thinking about whether Xiao Yulan could change the entrance of the secret passage from here to the Luo Mansion. He always came here in the middle of the night when he had nothing to do. After a long time, it was inevitable that people would notice. At that time, the incident will happen, and the trouble will be big.
Thinking so, he soon arrived at Fengqi Palace.
Xiao Yulan was lying on the soft couch with a stern face, with a red pen in one hand and the melody in the other. She seemed to be reviewing the melody, but no one dared to guess what was in her mind.
There are delicious dishes on the table, and there is a curl of steam, which should have just been served.
Luo Wenge extinguished the lantern, stood in front of the cabinet and looked at Xiao Yulan, neither speaking nor moving, like a frozen wooden man.
In fact, Xiao Yulan was no longer angry in her heart, and ignored people because she wanted to see if Luo Wenge had the self-reflection consciousness.
After waiting for a while, the people who entered the hall stood motionless like geese.
Xiao Yulan pretended to glance casually, and the anger that had dissipated before was picked up again.
The so-called blindness is pure, Xiao Yulan was afraid that she would not be able to help blaming others, so she moved her body and changed her posture not to look at Luo Wenge, as if she could really turn a blind eye to the people who had come in front of her.
Luo Wenge carefully shook hands, stood obediently, wondering whether Xiao Yulan would still be angry like this.
Judging from the other party's willingness to ask someone to give him a horse, he should not be so angry.
But at this time, he didn't ask and didn't want to see his movements, so he was not sure again.
It's not unreasonable to say that being with you is like being with a tiger. It's really hard to guess what the emperor is thinking.
Without Xiao Yulan's will, the hungry Luo Wenge could only stand and reflect.
The two people in the hall silently faced each other, one lying down and one standing, as if no one would affect anyone.
Suddenly, there was an inaudible hunger rumble.
This sound sounded like a pawn leading the charge, followed by several times.
The sound made Xiao Yulan have to turn around and look at the person who made the noise.
Luo Wenge, who was forced to starve until his stomach growled, was also very embarrassed. He clutched his stomach and wished he could hide in the closet again so that others could not see him.He rubbed his belly, carefully looked at Xiao Yulan over there.
Seeing that the other party was willing to turn to look at him, he subconsciously smiled.
Seeing him smile, Xiao Yulan's heart softened without warning, her tone was still so cold: "Didn't eat?"
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will get angry if you wait in a hurry, so after returning to the city, I went to the mansion and came here. I didn't care about eating." Luo Wenge said honestly.
Xiao Yulan's expression froze for a moment, and she said awkwardly, "Are you blaming me?"
"No, I've thought about it carefully, if I'm placed in His Majesty's position, I'll be angry when encountering such a thing." Luo Wenge said.
"Don't think that if you say that, I will pass this article."
"Of course I don't think so." Luo Wenge waved his hands, and then said after deliberation, "Then can your majesty tell me what you want me to do so that your majesty will not be angry?"
Xiao Yulan showed no expression: "I want to go."
Luo Wenge was even more worried when he heard the words, what should he think?What a problem.
Xiao Yulan saw that he was still standing still, looking like he was deep in thought, completely ignoring his stomach growling, and said angrily: "What are you doing standing there, didn't you eat? Sit down and eat."
Luo Wenge looked at the sumptuous meal, and asked hesitantly, "Is this prepared for me?"
"If you don't want to eat, I'll have someone take it away." Xiao Yulan pretended to get up, and her tone was unhappy again.
How could Luo Wenge dare to make people feel worse? He hurried over and grabbed the chopsticks: "Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, His Majesty specially asked someone to prepare it for me. If I don't eat it, won't it be a waste of His Majesty's kindness?"
"Who, who said that I had someone prepare it on purpose?" Xiao Yulan's words flickered, she turned her face away uncomfortably, and refused to admit it.
Luo Wenge resisted the urge to laugh, and patted his hair while eating: "Yes, yes, yes, it was prepared by Aunt Zuo Yi, not His Majesty's order."
Xiao Yulan felt uncomfortable again when she heard it, and turned to look at him: "If it was really prepared by Aunt Zuo Yi, would you be very grateful?"
Luo Wenge inexplicably sensed something else, he purposely tried frantically on the edge of danger, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"That is, she prepared dinner for me with her heart. Naturally, I should be grateful."
Xiao Yulan flipped over, dropped the red pen and notes, went to him and grabbed the chopsticks: "Don't eat, you're still hungry."
"Hey, your majesty, how could you do this?" Luo Wenge backed away from Xiao Yulan's hand.
Xiao Yulan said with a sullen face: "If you want to eat, ask Aunt Zooey to make it for you. I can't hear you talking about it."
Luo Wenge relied on his agility to pick up the chopsticks again: "Your Majesty is too domineering. Since Aunt Zuoyi prepared this dish for me, why don't you let me eat it and ask me to find her again? Isn't it superfluous?" ?”
"That's because this is Zhen—" Xiao Yulan stopped in time to avoid Luo Wenge's trap.
Luo Wenge showed regret, and asked persistently, "Is it Your Majesty?"
"Eat, I'm going to sleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation tonight." Xiao Yulan said.
While speaking, he turned and walked out of the hall, his hurried back was full of embarrassment, it can be seen how panicked Xiao Yulan was in the previous battle of wits and courage.
Luo Wenge looked at the closed palace door, then at the table full of dishes, and suddenly smiled.
Where did this arrogance come from? It's so cute.
Although Xiao Yulan asked someone to give him a horse and prepare dinner for him, she never admitted whether she was angry or not.
Luo Wenge still decided to talk to Xie Wenxuan after tomorrow morning, hoping to find a good solution by then.
Before that, he looked at the pen and paper on the limp Kang table, he had to write down the matter of Tianming Pavilion and let Xiao Yulan know.
In the early morning of the next day, Xie Wenxuan made a detailed report on the rumored case that Miao Jianghai, a member of the household department, was forced to death by Luo Wenge, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Go to Luo Wenge for suspicion.
Leaving Luo Wenge aside, Xie Wenxuan also reported the unsolved mysteries found during the investigation.
"...During the thorough investigation of Miao Jianghai's case, I found that the property under his name was connected with the property under the name of Mr. Li who was confiscated, and they were all gifted by the same person. After investigation, this person is extremely mysterious, and people call him Mr. Yuan. This Mr. Yuan spends a lot of money, and his property spreads all over the country, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as an enemy."
As an emperor, sitting in a high position, what do you most fear hearing?
That is, whoever is so rich can rival the country.
The world belongs to the emperor, so the emperor should be the richest. If someone richer than the emperor emerges, there will be a big problem.
Civil and military officials heard Xie Wenxuan use the word "wealth can rival a country", and their eyelids twitched in unison.I thought to myself: When did the Metropolitan Procuratorate link up with the national treasury?
Xiao Yulan didn't have much opinion on the wealth and rivalry of the country, and all her interest fell on this mysterious Mr. Yuan: "Is there no way to verify this person?"
Xie Wenxuan bowed: "I have had people search for two days, but found nothing."
I'm afraid I can't find a proper way, so I can only try the tricks of the rivers and lakes.
Xiao Yulan's eyes fell on Luo Wenge, and she suddenly thought that she was still in the stage of anger and shouldn't take the initiative to look at others, so she immediately sat upright.
"We'll discuss this matter later, but is there anything else important?"
Just as Xie Wenxuan stepped back, Shen Jue came out: "The old minister has something to play."
Xiao Yulan stretched out her hand to signal: "Mr. Shen Ge, please tell me."
"The left servant of the Ministry of Rites has been vacant for a long time, and the veteran thought that he should be filled as soon as possible."
"What old Shen Ge said is very true. I have had a good time talking with my uncles these few days, and I almost forgot about it. It is old Shen Ge who cares about me." Xiao Yulan laughed, "Since old Shen Ge is so concerned, how about Recommend a personal choice?"
Shen Jue did not directly name the person to be elected, but said with a certain amount of advance and retreat: "Let the old minister discuss with the cabinet members, and then make a memorial."
Xiao Yulan smiled coldly, like a cunning old fox, he nodded: "Thank you, everyone."
After retiring from the imperial court, Xie Wenxuan ran into Luo Wenge again outside the Hall of Peace. This time Xie Zuodu, the imperial censor, had no waves in Gujing, which seemed to be a bit of a habit.
Luo Wenge greeted first: "Thank you, sir."
Xie Wenxuan raised his hand in return: "Lord Luo."
"Today Luo was able to regain his innocence, and I must thank you sir." Luo Wenge said.
Xie Wenxuan said indifferently: "Investigating the case is Xie's job. Lord Luo doesn't have to thank me. If you want to thank him, you can thank His Majesty. He is the one who coerces me to solve the case within three days."
Luo Wenge's face twitched, he didn't expect such dirty behavior behind this matter, and he had mixed feelings for a moment.
"Master Luo waited for me not just to thank me, right?" Xie Wenxuan put his hands in his sleeves and turned his head to look at Luo Wenge.
Luo Wenge liked to talk to smart people, but it would be audacious to ask for advice on how to coax the emperor in the palace.Luo Wenge asked with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Xie is free to have tea with me?"
This meant asking for something, Xie Wenxuan thought of the shallow friendship between the two, originally wanted to politely refuse, but then thought of Xiao Yulan's special attitude towards him, and nodded in agreement.
Luo Wenge's eyes were more relaxed, and his face was full of smiles: "Thank you, sir."
Xie Wenxuan nodded, and the two walked side by side to the outside of the palace.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Xiao Yulan flipped through the Destiny Pavilion document written by Luo Wenge, sorted out all kinds of relationships and the reasons for the incidents, the nib of the pen stopped on "I suspect that the owner of the pavilion is hiding in the city", and looked up at Eunuch Li who was waiting quietly.
"Where's Luo Wenge?"
Eunuch Li replied softly: "The old slave vaguely saw him standing outside the Hall of Peace after the court was over, as if he was waiting for someone."
wait?
Xiao Yulan frowned slightly, could it be that she was waiting for her to send someone to find him?
It seems that when he wrote this document, he expected that he would have doubts, and he really used small tricks to make himself bow first.
In fact, he didn't like to be calculated by others. For some reason, Xiao Yulan felt that he could accept Luo Wenge instead of a petty person.
Calculating the time, people waited for a while.She can be patient, and she is willing to work hard.
Feeling coaxed, Xiao Yulan tried her best to suppress the corners of her raised lips, and said flatly: "Eunuch Li, go and see if he is still there. If he is, call someone over."
After Eunuch Li suffered a mixed doubles match that wanted to overturn the car too much, he didn't dare to think about it any more, and he took the order to find someone.
Xiao Yulan looked at the document in his hand that had been sorted out with care, and began to think about what he should say when Luo Wenge came over, so that the other party could clearly realize the mistake, so that he would not make it again in the future, and continuing to discuss this matter was of great concern to the safety of the country. event.
After getting along for a while, Xiao Yulan knew who Luo Wenge was.
Really smart, capable, and more daring.
Putting the purpose first in everything you do, sometimes you don’t even care about your own life, that’s not okay.
Xiao Yulan didn't want such an assistant minister, and she had to teach her to cherish her life when she saw him later.
After waiting and waiting, Xiao Yulan finally waited for Eunuch Li who was alone, and he looked outside the hall.
Eunuch Li wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are not here."
Xiao Yulan's face darkened: "Didn't you say he was waiting outside the Hall of Peace?"
"This old slave saw it before." Eunuch Li replied tremblingly.
Xiao Yulan was not very happy and asked, "Do you know where he went?"
Eunuch Li, who had expected him to ask such a question, replied: "The old slave asked the guard and said that he and Mr. Xie were out of the palace. I heard that the two were chatting and laughing. They are going to the teahouse to have tea and have a chat. Listen to that. It's kind of mean, it's kind of like seeing each other late."
With a 'click' sound, the writing brush in Xiao Yulan's hand broke, and with a gloomy face, he threw the broken pen in two on the ground, and suddenly got up: "Very good!"
Luo Wenge is really good, thanks to the fact that he just wanted to say a few words and let people go, now, it seems that people didn't take his anger to heart at all, it was all because of his own sentimentality.
He also talked and laughed with Xie Wenxuan, and it was too late to meet each other!
Okay, let's go to a teahouse for tea, shall we?
He refused to let the two of them stop, and said in an extremely harsh tone: "Eunuch Li, thank Wen Xuan for seeing you."
Eunuch Li made a confused face: "Your Majesty, why do you want to thank your lord for seeing me?"
Xiao Yulan glared at Eunuch Li viciously: "Just say that I have a very urgent matter to see him, the secret order, do you understand the secret order?"
Eunuch Li wanted to say that this was unreasonable, but seeing how jealous he was, he didn't dare to add fuel to the flames, and ran out to announce the decree as if his butt was on fire.
When Xiao Yulan thought of what Eunuch Li said just now, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, pinching her waist and walking back and forth angrily.
Luo Wenge didn't care if he was angry or not.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Yulan couldn't help feeling sad, what the hell!
Luo Wenge, who was scolded for being a joke, knew nothing about what happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, and was seriously asking Xie Wenxuan for advice on how to coax people.
Xie Wenxuan, who was invited to drink tea, never thought that he was looking for him because of this. After hearing the ins and outs, Xie Wenxuan made a move: "You go to him three times a day, and within seven days, your relationship will be restored to its original state. Remember , no matter how he chases you away, or throws a face at you, don't leave."
Luo Wenge understood, the core of this method is to be shameless.
Isn't this similar to what he used yesterday?
He said sadly: "It seems useless to His Majesty, he doesn't like it much."
Xie Wenxuan took a sip of tea: "That's because you didn't work hard enough."
"You mean I'm not shameless enough?" Luo Wenge asked, reacting quickly to correct, "No, are you telling me to wear water through rocks?"
Xie Wenxuan nodded lightly, remembering Xiao Yulan's coquettish coffin face that he loved to put on when he was angry, and made another trick: "Your Majesty will not take hard things, and if he doesn't talk to you, just write letters, three letters a day."
Luo Wenge rubbed his forehead: "I'm afraid that if he gets angry, he won't even let me go to court."
"Your Majesty is not such a willful person." Xie Wenxuan said.
Luo Wenge was still very worried, and felt that neither of these two methods would work.
Xie Wenxuan saw his worries, and planned to give him some insight: "Your Majesty values you, and if you are really angry, I am afraid that you are angry that you do not pay attention to your own safety. He wants to use this to make you feel sorry for your life. You might as well block him It’s a good place to talk about it.”
Having said so much, Luo Wenge prefers this method.
He raised the teacup: "Master Xie's move won my heart. Luo will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. After this is done, I will invite Mr. Xie to have a good meal at Anfeng Restaurant."
Xie Wenxuan was quite calm: "Master Luo is polite."
Luo Wenge frowned with a smile, thinking about where to block Xiao Yulan when going to Fengqi Palace tonight.
At this moment, he saw a familiar person coming up the stairs with sharp eyes. Could it be that Xiao Yulan wanted to see him?
Thinking of this, Luo Wenge said to Xie Wenxuan: "Master Xie, Eunuch Li is here."
Xie Wenxuan also understood the meaning of this, and sat still: "Master Luo, behave well, Xie is waiting to go to Anfeng Restaurant to feast on his mouth."
"Then thank you, please wait for my good news." Luo Wenge said with a smile.
As Eunuch Li was getting closer and closer, Luo Wenge half bowed, ready to leave at any time.
Eunuch Li arrived in front of him quickly, saluted the two of them first, skipped Luo Wenge who was waiting to talk, and turned to the defenseless Xie Wenxuan.
"Thank you sir, His Majesty summoned you urgently and said that you have a secret matter to discuss."
Xie Wenxuan, who never made any mistakes, choked on the tea.
Luo Wenge, who was getting ready on the opposite side, had a blank face.
Xie Wenxuan didn't know whether Xiao Yulan's secret was true or not, with a complicated face, he nodded lightly to Luo Wenge: "I obey the order."
Seeing Luo Wenge's numb expression, Eunuch Li felt some sympathy for some reason, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty lost his temper when he heard that Your Majesty and His Majesty Xie were out of the palace for a teahouse appointment."
This was said very softly, only Luo Wenge heard it.
Luo Wenge looked at Xie Wenxuan a little wrongly now, why did he think that Xiao Yulan was not looking for someone for something, but was deliberately not letting him drink tea with Xie Wenxuan?
hiss…
It seems that coaxing people is imperative.
Luo Wenge transferred Eunuch Li's sympathy for him to Xie Wenxuan, and it might be a waste of time.
Xie Wenxuan, who was the most innocent and injured in the whole process, was not a fool, and vaguely felt something else.
When he saw Xiao Yulan wiping his sword in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xie Wenxuan was even more sure of his intuition.
The vinegar from the Great Ning Dynasty may have been tributed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Thank you, Wen Xuan, for meeting His Majesty."
Xiao Yulan didn't look up: "Get up."
Xie Wenxuan got up as he said, standing still without speaking as usual.
Xiao Yulan rubbed the blade of the sword back and forth three times, and suddenly drew out the sword with a powerful sword aura. He looked at Xie Wenxuan: "Xie Aiqing is not curious why I summoned you?"
"Your Majesty will say what you want, so you don't need to be curious." Xie Wenxuan replied coldly.
Xie Wenxuan has always been the person who reassures Xiao Yulan, and his words are very straightforward.It just sounds weird and hurtful sometimes.
Xiao Yulan withdrew the sword: "You can think about it, today I just wanted Xie Aiqing to see this sword on a whim."
Xie Wenxuan glanced lightly: "I don't know swords. Your Majesty wants to find someone of the same kind, but I'm afraid you may have found the wrong one. I remember that Luo Shaoqing is good at dancing swords. Your Majesty should look for him."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yulan's face was very pale: "Xie Wenxuan, did you do it on purpose?"
"Did His Majesty do it on purpose?" Xie Wenxuan asked.
Xiao Yulan shut up instantly, refusing to answer this question.
Xie Wenxuan didn't insist on him answering, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be forgotten at all, and please don't forget the past, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said annoyed for a long time: "I see, you mentioned Mr. Yuan in the early court and continue to investigate, let's go."
"Yes, I will leave." Xie Wenxuan said.
As soon as the person left, Xiao Yulan put the sword back into its sheath, walked to the dragon chair, looked at the documents spread out on the desk, and narrowed her eyes.
After finding a way to deal with Xiao Yulan, Luo Wenge went to Dali Temple to be on duty with peace of mind.
The case of Miao Jianghai was over, and Luo An naturally returned to him.
So, when Luo Wenge came to Dali Temple, he saw Luo An and Jiang Lin staring at each other, neither of them spoke, as if they were enemies.
He walked between the two of them: "Let Rang, Rang Rang."
"Young master, I'm already back, why don't you let him go?" Luo An followed up and asked.
Jiang Lin asked dumbfoundedly: "Why did I leave when you came back? You are the son's servant, and so am I."
"What are you?" Luo An stared at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin was so overwhelmed by the momentum that he was speechless. As a secret guard, most of the time he spoke with his strength and rarely slapped his lips. He usually couldn't speak to someone as arrogant as Luo An.
Luo Wenge had a lot of troubles, so he couldn't care less about the fight between the two of them, so he dismissed them casually: "It's not the same, you two don't fight each other, stay here."
Luo An's eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "Why?"
"His martial arts are very strong." Luo Wenge said.
If it wasn't for Jiang Lin's presence yesterday, it would have been difficult for him to find so many clues. Based on this alone, he decided to keep Jiang Lin.
With a master by his side, he can rest assured, not to mention that he plans to let Jiang Lin teach him every move to save his life.
Luo An thought that his martial arts were not weak, but Jiang Lin, who was born in a dark guard, had no choice but to bow down.
Considering Luo Wenge's situation, Luo An acquiesced.
"Okay, you two don't hang around here, Luo An comes over and goes out to help me with something." Luo Wenge said.
Luo An immediately regained his energy and trotted up to him.
At night, Changle City blows a cold wind, which is bitingly cold.
King Yun, who had stayed in the post house for several days, couldn't bear it any longer, and took advantage of the moonlight to sneak out with someone quietly, heading for the bustling place in the south of the city.
Although there is a curfew in Changle City, there is a place in the south of the city that is an exception.
That is the Wenrou Lane full of pleasure-seeking Goulan courtyards. This is a prostitution place allowed by the Ning Dynasty. There are many interesting and wonderful people hidden in the alley. King Yun has heard of it when he first entered the city. Today, he finally has the opportunity to see the truth. .
He kneaded the hand of the male pet beside him with his fat paws, and squinted: "Look carefully tonight, so I can learn from it."
The male favorite smiled like a flower and leaned into King Yun's arms: "I know."
"Let's go." King Yun laughed.
When Luo Wenge arrived at Fengqi Hall, he found that there was no one in the hall. This happened once not long ago.
He wondered if Xiao Yulan would take him to the hot spring again this time, right?Thinking so, he changed his clothes first, and there was still no one after waiting.
Maybe I was thinking too much.
Luo Wenge opened the palace door and saw Zooey at the door, he asked in a low voice, "Where is Your Majesty?"
Zooey replied softly: "Your Majesty is still in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He said that because of the busy schedule today, he might have to stay there again."
Is it really that unlucky?
He tried to communicate with people, who just happened to be sleeping in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, why did he feel that Xiao Yulan was deliberately avoiding him.
Brazenly went to block people, and made people laugh when he said it, he looked at Zooey: "Auntie, does Your Majesty have any favorite snacks?"
Zooey thought for a while: “Yes.”
Luo Wenge smiled slightly: "Please trouble Auntie to lead Ben Gong to the small kitchen."
Zooey didn't know what was going on between him and Xiao Yulan, she thought the relationship between the two was deepening day by day, and she happily told him that he wanted to make snacks for Xiao Yulan himself.
Here the master and servant entered the small kitchen, while Xiao Yulan, who was nestled in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, was lighting up the lamp to criticize the memorial.
Halfway through the approval, Xiao Yulan stopped writing and asked, "Where's the queen?"
Eunuch Li knew that Xiao Yulan would ask a long time ago, so he sent someone to inquire, and at this moment he just answered: "The empress has gone to the small kitchen."
In other words, when Luo Wenge came, he didn't come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but went to the kitchen.
Xiao Yulan frowned: "What is he doing there?"
Eunuch Li smiled warmly: "Your Majesty is going to make some snacks for His Majesty. She said that His Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I'm afraid I didn't have a good dinner, so I want to make some snacks for Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan looked strange.
Luo Wenge cooks for him himself, is that really okay?If he remembers correctly, Luo Wenge has always been a son of a man who never touches the spring water.
One day, the son who had never been in the kitchen had a whim to cook, why did Xiao Yulan feel a chill down her spine the more she thought about it.
"Follow me to have a look." Xiao Yulan put down the memorial and said.
Eunuch Li was surprised: "Is Your Majesty worried about your mother's safety? The kitchen is not a dangerous place."
"No, I'm worried that he will knock me down when he cooks." Xiao Yulan said with strides.
Eunuch Li listened to it for a while before he understood the deep meaning. He was so shocked that he sweated coldly, and ran after him to explain: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. Your Majesty is all for you."
Xiao Yulan couldn't agree with this, thinking about how to persuade Luo Wenge to give up the idea of cooking in the kitchen.
After waiting outside the small kitchen of Fengxi Palace, Xiao Yulan tiptoed in after waving away the maid and eunuch who wanted to kneel down.
Seeing the scene inside, Xiao Yulan was taken aback. The scene of jumping like chickens and dogs in his imagination did not appear.
Luo Wenge simply tied her hair, wore an apron, and skillfully kneaded the dough, while Zooey stood aside and did not share her hands.
Xiao Yulan was absent-minded for a moment, and the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart surged up again, making him doubt the authenticity of Luo Wenge in front of him again.
Zooey saw Xiao Yulan first, and walked over to Fushen with small steps: "Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Well, I have something to say to the queen alone." Xiao Yulan's eyes kept falling on Luo Wenge.
Zooey retreated knowingly.
In the small kitchen filled with fragrance, there were only two people left looking at each other.
Luo Wenge looked at Xiao Yulan for a while, turned his face and lowered his eyes and continued kneading his face.
Xiao Yulan took a few steps towards him: "Are you really good at cooking?"
"Your Majesty will know after tasting it later." Luo Wenge replied.
Xiao Yulan became more suspicious in her heart, staring at his peaceful and beautiful profile: "Then I will wait."
Singer Luo Wen kept moving, and started to chase people away: "There is heavy oily smoke here, Your Majesty, go out and wait."
"It's okay, I still have something to say." Xiao Yulan said.
Luo Wenge felt helpless for a moment, but finally followed Xiao Yulan's wishes: "Please speak, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan pulled a scallion in his hand boredly and played with it: "I have seen the things you left behind, and I know that it is imperative to check the Tianming Pavilion. Check it carefully. If you need anything, just come to me."
"Yes." Luo Wenge agreed.
Talking about the Destiny Pavilion, Xiao Yulan said that she couldn't stop getting down to business: "There are not a few women in the city who are suitable for that pavilion owner. Before Shen Ruqing entered the palace, she had many acquaintances with handkerchiefs."
Luo Wenge couldn't help asking: "What's the relationship between Xu Jinyuan and Shen Ruqing?"
Xiao Yulan glanced at him: "I thought about her too, but one thing is very important. When Shen Ruqing mentioned Xu Jinyuan, she would definitely not use old acquaintances to match them. Both of them are famous, beautiful and talented women in Changle City, and they are related to you. Say It is not an exaggeration to say that water and fire cannot tolerate each other, but Shen Ruqing will definitely not go to any place where Xu Jinyuan haunts."
If that's the case, why did he feel that she was quite normal when he saw Shen Ruqing these few times?
With this question written on his face, Xiao Yulan saw it and answered naturally: "Shen Ruqing is also forced by the situation now. Xu Jinyuan is the empress, and she is the imperial concubine. No matter how you look at it, the imperial concubine is always one step lower than the empress. She wants to gain a firm foothold in the harem. You have to let go of the past and start over. That's why she was polite when she saw you."
Luo Wenge suddenly realized, looking at it this way, Shen Ruqing can see it and let it go.
Should he consider reevaluating Shen Ruqing?
This is a very different woman.
Probably he was influenced by the news before and made a wrong judgment on Shen Ruqing, he lowered his eyebrows: "What does Your Majesty think of her being a matchmaker for Tianming Pavilion?"
Xiao Yulan tore off the onion stalk bit by bit, sticking her hands with sticky paste, and said with a frown, "I'm just courting death."
Luo Wenge turned his head to see Xiao Yulan's childlike behavior, and suppressed a smile: "Your Majesty, remember to clean your hands with soap later, otherwise your hands will smell like onions."
Xiao Yulan put down the green onion, took a rag and wiped it: "I vaguely feel that Mr. Yuan that Xie Wenxuan found out today has something to do with this Tianming Pavilion."
This is just to talk to him about business, and the anger is still there.
Luo Wenge looked at the dough in front of him in disappointment, and said in a low tone: "Well, I also feel the same way. Today Shen Ge said at the meeting that he recommended the candidate for the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. I thought that Wen Tianzhong might be coming back, and suddenly the situation in the court It's more complicated, Your Majesty should take advantage of the new year's imperial examinations to find more useful talents."
"I thought that instead of waiting for the imperial examination, it would be better to transfer back the people who were demoted by Shen Jue through my hand." Xiao Yulan said.
Those who were relegated were mostly disciples of Mr. Luo Ge. Xiao Yulan can really rest assured that they will be transferred back?
Luo Wenge was skeptical, although he had no intention of rebelling now, his subordinates still had such unrealistic fantasies.
If you really want to bring those people back, I'm afraid...
Luo Wenge kneaded the dough in a hurry, and the dough was ready in a short while.
Xiao Yulan had been paying attention to the changes in his expression, and could sense his emotional ups and downs. Seeing that he was silent because of what he said just now, she couldn't help asking: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
These words hit Luo Wenge's heart.
Holding the rolling pin, Luo Wenge couldn't tell if he was aggrieved or aggrieved: "Yes, isn't it because you are afraid that His Majesty won't listen?"
This tone made Xiao Yulan's heart skip a beat, and she always felt like she was bullying: "When did I stop listening?"
"Yesterday." Luo Wenge replied quickly, as if he was afraid that he would not admit it.
Xiao Yulan was taken aback by his reaction, and said in a low voice, "Don't say that, it wasn't because you made a mistake at the time, and I was so angry that you did that?"
"Yes, I admit that I didn't think carefully about what happened yesterday, and didn't take my own safety into consideration. There was also a reason for what happened at the time, and I couldn't let go of such a great opportunity." Luo Wenge couldn't vomit, seeing Xiao Yulan showing signs of speaking, he The rolling pin in his hand took a step forward, "Listen to me."
Xiao Yulan had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips, and raised her hand to signal him to speak.
Luo Wenge took a long breath: "I know the reason for your majesty's anger, and I have also reflected on myself. I have repeatedly warned myself that I will not do it again in the future, let alone make your majesty pay an unnecessary price for it. I, Luo Wenge, will start from today. , I vowed to put my own life first, and no matter how important the investigation is, I must take my life as the safety. I must sincerely say to Your Majesty, I am sorry for making Your Majesty worry."
Xiao Yulan never thought that he would do this, and when she saw it suddenly, she didn't know how to react, and froze in place, staring at him silently.
Luo Wenge's hand holding the rolling pin moved a few times uncomfortably, and turned around awkwardly to roll out the dough, as if avoiding the embarrassment of not getting Xiao Yulan's answer.
Only now did Xiao Yulan come back to her senses, and finally showed a slight smile: "This is not the method Xie Wenxuan taught you."
Singer Luo Wen shook, almost rolled the rolling pin into the dough and couldn't get it out: "Your Majesty, you know again?"
"I don't know anything." Xiao Yulan said.
The more he said that, the more Luo Wenge felt that he knew everything. He wished he could hide in the dough, and didn't know where to put his hands: "Your Majesty, don't blame Mr. Xie. It was because I had no choice but to ask him for help."
Xiao Yulan thought of Xie Wenxuan's cold face giving him a bad idea, and immediately shook her head in dismay and said, "One of you dares to speak, and the other dares to listen, and it's a good thing you don't have the skills to use him, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be angry for a few more days."
Luo Wenge suddenly understood something, turned his face and said in surprise: "Your Majesty is not angry anymore?"
"Do you think I'm angry?" Xiao Yulan asked in a low voice, admiring his reaction speed, and said, "If I want to continue to be angry, you don't know how to act pitiful, and you will do something wrong to me." Like."
Luo Wenge blushed upon hearing this, bit her lips and said weakly, "I didn't pretend to be pitiful."
"Well, maybe it's because I just showed my true feelings, that you felt aggrieved and sad when I was angry and ignored you." Xiao Yulan teased.
Luo Wenge blushed even more, pretending to be very busy and said: "The water is about to boil, I have to prepare noodles quickly."
Xiao Yulan realized that this was a cover-up, so she didn't continue the topic just now, and stood quietly looking down at him.
The two reconciled that night, and because of the heart-to-heart and noodles, the relationship was silently deeper than before.
Some things are also quietly growing, only waiting for the right time to ferment vigorously.
As Luo Wenge and Xiao Yulan expected, Shen Jue's candidate to replace Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was Wen Tianzhong. Correspondingly, Xiao Yulan wanted to pull out the Shen Party member, so he agreed.
Immediately, it is planned to call Wen Tianzhong back to Beijing to report on his work, and then to do promotion.
As for the vacancy of Uwai Lang, a member of the household department, Xiao Yulan promoted an unremarkable person.
The simple transfer of personnel in two places is a metaphor for the imminent turmoil, and the hearts of all officials are disturbed.
After a few days of peace, Luo Wenge was ordered to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have an audience.
Xiao Yulan asked someone to give him a seat, and when he sat down, he briefly explained the reason for the summoning: "I mean, before the four of them leave Beijing, I will accompany you to take a good tour of Changle City."
As a reception envoy, Luo Wenge had indeed not fulfilled his duties these past few days, so when Xiao Yulan said it, he immediately responded: "I understand."
"They have something they like, just buy it, and I will make it up for you later." Xiao Yulan said again.
Luo Wenge smiled: "I don't think His Majesty will have to pay for it."
This is true, which prince is not richer than Xiao Yulan?
If Xiao Yulan was really asked to pay for it, they wouldn't feel at ease, for fear that Xiao Yulan would miss something again.
The experience of being cheated in the Hall of Mental Cultivation on the day of entering Beijing must still be vivid in my mind.
Now Xiao Yulan has a special ability to interpret Luo Wenge's expression, it seems that when he smiles, Xiao Yulan knows whether he is sincere or fake, and can also understand the meaning of the smile.
Xiao Yulan didn't know what this meant, but it was a bit weird anyway, seeing him like this, she also smiled: "It seems that I'm being very unreasonable when you say that."
"I don't mean that." Luo Wenge said.
Xiao Yulan waved her hand: "I know what you mean, you just need to bring your words, it's their business whether you don't appreciate it or not."
Luo Wenge got up: "Yes. That minister is going to meet the princes."
"Wait." Xiao Yulan suddenly called to stop Luo Wenge who was about to leave.
Luo Wenge turned around and looked at Xiao Yulan who was hesitant to speak in doubt: "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yulan struggled for a moment, seemed unable to wipe her face away, and rushed away impatiently: "It's okay, let's go."
Luo Wenge turned around and left, not at all curious about what Xiao Yulan said, after all, if he didn't say it now, he still had to say it tonight.
Right now, it's better to finish the errand of leading the princes to visit Changle City first.
Luo Wenge didn't know much about Changle City, all he knew was what was described in the original book, so he had to rely on Luo An to help set up a place for people to visit.
He went out of the palace to meet Luo An: "I won't be on duty at Dali Temple in the afternoon, let's accompany the princes to visit Changle City."
Luo An was surprised: "There is nothing to do in Changle City. The good places where you can listen to books are closed. The cruise ships are too cold in winter. Wouldn't it be good to go shopping in the streets and alleys where snacks are sold?"
Luo Wenge had never been to any of the places Luo An mentioned, nor was he interested in them. He said, "This is not with us. As long as the princes are willing to go, they can take it with them."
Luo An understood.
Jiang Lin's mind was still on the first sentence: "Do you want to visit the city?"
Luo An said unhappily: "Well, bring more money, you can eat a lot, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."
Jiang Lin didn't care, thinking that such a place must be crowded and dangerous, so the host should be well protected.
Luo Wenge lifted the curtain of the car. Today is a good day, the sun is shining brightly, and it's not bad to go out for a stroll. He thought so and let the groom go to the nearest post house first.
When he left with the lantern, he was still thinking about whether Xiao Yulan could change the entrance of the secret passage from here to the Luo Mansion. He always came here in the middle of the night when he had nothing to do. After a long time, it was inevitable that people would notice. At that time, the incident will happen, and the trouble will be big.
Thinking so, he soon arrived at Fengqi Palace.
Xiao Yulan was lying on the soft couch with a stern face, with a red pen in one hand and the melody in the other. She seemed to be reviewing the melody, but no one dared to guess what was in her mind.
There are delicious dishes on the table, and there is a curl of steam, which should have just been served.
Luo Wenge extinguished the lantern, stood in front of the cabinet and looked at Xiao Yulan, neither speaking nor moving, like a frozen wooden man.
In fact, Xiao Yulan was no longer angry in her heart, and ignored people because she wanted to see if Luo Wenge had the self-reflection consciousness.
After waiting for a while, the people who entered the hall stood motionless like geese.
Xiao Yulan pretended to glance casually, and the anger that had dissipated before was picked up again.
The so-called blindness is pure, Xiao Yulan was afraid that she would not be able to help blaming others, so she moved her body and changed her posture not to look at Luo Wenge, as if she could really turn a blind eye to the people who had come in front of her.
Luo Wenge carefully shook hands, stood obediently, wondering whether Xiao Yulan would still be angry like this.
Judging from the other party's willingness to ask someone to give him a horse, he should not be so angry.
But at this time, he didn't ask and didn't want to see his movements, so he was not sure again.
It's not unreasonable to say that being with you is like being with a tiger. It's really hard to guess what the emperor is thinking.
Without Xiao Yulan's will, the hungry Luo Wenge could only stand and reflect.
The two people in the hall silently faced each other, one lying down and one standing, as if no one would affect anyone.
Suddenly, there was an inaudible hunger rumble.
This sound sounded like a pawn leading the charge, followed by several times.
The sound made Xiao Yulan have to turn around and look at the person who made the noise.
Luo Wenge, who was forced to starve until his stomach growled, was also very embarrassed. He clutched his stomach and wished he could hide in the closet again so that others could not see him.He rubbed his belly, carefully looked at Xiao Yulan over there.
Seeing that the other party was willing to turn to look at him, he subconsciously smiled.
Seeing him smile, Xiao Yulan's heart softened without warning, her tone was still so cold: "Didn't eat?"
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will get angry if you wait in a hurry, so after returning to the city, I went to the mansion and came here. I didn't care about eating." Luo Wenge said honestly.
Xiao Yulan's expression froze for a moment, and she said awkwardly, "Are you blaming me?"
"No, I've thought about it carefully, if I'm placed in His Majesty's position, I'll be angry when encountering such a thing." Luo Wenge said.
"Don't think that if you say that, I will pass this article."
"Of course I don't think so." Luo Wenge waved his hands, and then said after deliberation, "Then can your majesty tell me what you want me to do so that your majesty will not be angry?"
Xiao Yulan showed no expression: "I want to go."
Luo Wenge was even more worried when he heard the words, what should he think?What a problem.
Xiao Yulan saw that he was still standing still, looking like he was deep in thought, completely ignoring his stomach growling, and said angrily: "What are you doing standing there, didn't you eat? Sit down and eat."
Luo Wenge looked at the sumptuous meal, and asked hesitantly, "Is this prepared for me?"
"If you don't want to eat, I'll have someone take it away." Xiao Yulan pretended to get up, and her tone was unhappy again.
How could Luo Wenge dare to make people feel worse? He hurried over and grabbed the chopsticks: "Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, His Majesty specially asked someone to prepare it for me. If I don't eat it, won't it be a waste of His Majesty's kindness?"
"Who, who said that I had someone prepare it on purpose?" Xiao Yulan's words flickered, she turned her face away uncomfortably, and refused to admit it.
Luo Wenge resisted the urge to laugh, and patted his hair while eating: "Yes, yes, yes, it was prepared by Aunt Zuo Yi, not His Majesty's order."
Xiao Yulan felt uncomfortable again when she heard it, and turned to look at him: "If it was really prepared by Aunt Zuo Yi, would you be very grateful?"
Luo Wenge inexplicably sensed something else, he purposely tried frantically on the edge of danger, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"That is, she prepared dinner for me with her heart. Naturally, I should be grateful."
Xiao Yulan flipped over, dropped the red pen and notes, went to him and grabbed the chopsticks: "Don't eat, you're still hungry."
"Hey, your majesty, how could you do this?" Luo Wenge backed away from Xiao Yulan's hand.
Xiao Yulan said with a sullen face: "If you want to eat, ask Aunt Zooey to make it for you. I can't hear you talking about it."
Luo Wenge relied on his agility to pick up the chopsticks again: "Your Majesty is too domineering. Since Aunt Zuoyi prepared this dish for me, why don't you let me eat it and ask me to find her again? Isn't it superfluous?" ?”
"That's because this is Zhen—" Xiao Yulan stopped in time to avoid Luo Wenge's trap.
Luo Wenge showed regret, and asked persistently, "Is it Your Majesty?"
"Eat, I'm going to sleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation tonight." Xiao Yulan said.
While speaking, he turned and walked out of the hall, his hurried back was full of embarrassment, it can be seen how panicked Xiao Yulan was in the previous battle of wits and courage.
Luo Wenge looked at the closed palace door, then at the table full of dishes, and suddenly smiled.
Where did this arrogance come from? It's so cute.
Although Xiao Yulan asked someone to give him a horse and prepare dinner for him, she never admitted whether she was angry or not.
Luo Wenge still decided to talk to Xie Wenxuan after tomorrow morning, hoping to find a good solution by then.
Before that, he looked at the pen and paper on the limp Kang table, he had to write down the matter of Tianming Pavilion and let Xiao Yulan know.
In the early morning of the next day, Xie Wenxuan made a detailed report on the rumored case that Miao Jianghai, a member of the household department, was forced to death by Luo Wenge, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Go to Luo Wenge for suspicion.
Leaving Luo Wenge aside, Xie Wenxuan also reported the unsolved mysteries found during the investigation.
"...During the thorough investigation of Miao Jianghai's case, I found that the property under his name was connected with the property under the name of Mr. Li who was confiscated, and they were all gifted by the same person. After investigation, this person is extremely mysterious, and people call him Mr. Yuan. This Mr. Yuan spends a lot of money, and his property spreads all over the country, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as an enemy."
As an emperor, sitting in a high position, what do you most fear hearing?
That is, whoever is so rich can rival the country.
The world belongs to the emperor, so the emperor should be the richest. If someone richer than the emperor emerges, there will be a big problem.
Civil and military officials heard Xie Wenxuan use the word "wealth can rival a country", and their eyelids twitched in unison.I thought to myself: When did the Metropolitan Procuratorate link up with the national treasury?
Xiao Yulan didn't have much opinion on the wealth and rivalry of the country, and all her interest fell on this mysterious Mr. Yuan: "Is there no way to verify this person?"
Xie Wenxuan bowed: "I have had people search for two days, but found nothing."
I'm afraid I can't find a proper way, so I can only try the tricks of the rivers and lakes.
Xiao Yulan's eyes fell on Luo Wenge, and she suddenly thought that she was still in the stage of anger and shouldn't take the initiative to look at others, so she immediately sat upright.
"We'll discuss this matter later, but is there anything else important?"
Just as Xie Wenxuan stepped back, Shen Jue came out: "The old minister has something to play."
Xiao Yulan stretched out her hand to signal: "Mr. Shen Ge, please tell me."
"The left servant of the Ministry of Rites has been vacant for a long time, and the veteran thought that he should be filled as soon as possible."
"What old Shen Ge said is very true. I have had a good time talking with my uncles these few days, and I almost forgot about it. It is old Shen Ge who cares about me." Xiao Yulan laughed, "Since old Shen Ge is so concerned, how about Recommend a personal choice?"
Shen Jue did not directly name the person to be elected, but said with a certain amount of advance and retreat: "Let the old minister discuss with the cabinet members, and then make a memorial."
Xiao Yulan smiled coldly, like a cunning old fox, he nodded: "Thank you, everyone."
After retiring from the imperial court, Xie Wenxuan ran into Luo Wenge again outside the Hall of Peace. This time Xie Zuodu, the imperial censor, had no waves in Gujing, which seemed to be a bit of a habit.
Luo Wenge greeted first: "Thank you, sir."
Xie Wenxuan raised his hand in return: "Lord Luo."
"Today Luo was able to regain his innocence, and I must thank you sir." Luo Wenge said.
Xie Wenxuan said indifferently: "Investigating the case is Xie's job. Lord Luo doesn't have to thank me. If you want to thank him, you can thank His Majesty. He is the one who coerces me to solve the case within three days."
Luo Wenge's face twitched, he didn't expect such dirty behavior behind this matter, and he had mixed feelings for a moment.
"Master Luo waited for me not just to thank me, right?" Xie Wenxuan put his hands in his sleeves and turned his head to look at Luo Wenge.
Luo Wenge liked to talk to smart people, but it would be audacious to ask for advice on how to coax the emperor in the palace.Luo Wenge asked with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Xie is free to have tea with me?"
This meant asking for something, Xie Wenxuan thought of the shallow friendship between the two, originally wanted to politely refuse, but then thought of Xiao Yulan's special attitude towards him, and nodded in agreement.
Luo Wenge's eyes were more relaxed, and his face was full of smiles: "Thank you, sir."
Xie Wenxuan nodded, and the two walked side by side to the outside of the palace.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Xiao Yulan flipped through the Destiny Pavilion document written by Luo Wenge, sorted out all kinds of relationships and the reasons for the incidents, the nib of the pen stopped on "I suspect that the owner of the pavilion is hiding in the city", and looked up at Eunuch Li who was waiting quietly.
"Where's Luo Wenge?"
Eunuch Li replied softly: "The old slave vaguely saw him standing outside the Hall of Peace after the court was over, as if he was waiting for someone."
wait?
Xiao Yulan frowned slightly, could it be that she was waiting for her to send someone to find him?
It seems that when he wrote this document, he expected that he would have doubts, and he really used small tricks to make himself bow first.
In fact, he didn't like to be calculated by others. For some reason, Xiao Yulan felt that he could accept Luo Wenge instead of a petty person.
Calculating the time, people waited for a while.She can be patient, and she is willing to work hard.
Feeling coaxed, Xiao Yulan tried her best to suppress the corners of her raised lips, and said flatly: "Eunuch Li, go and see if he is still there. If he is, call someone over."
After Eunuch Li suffered a mixed doubles match that wanted to overturn the car too much, he didn't dare to think about it any more, and he took the order to find someone.
Xiao Yulan looked at the document in his hand that had been sorted out with care, and began to think about what he should say when Luo Wenge came over, so that the other party could clearly realize the mistake, so that he would not make it again in the future, and continuing to discuss this matter was of great concern to the safety of the country. event.
After getting along for a while, Xiao Yulan knew who Luo Wenge was.
Really smart, capable, and more daring.
Putting the purpose first in everything you do, sometimes you don’t even care about your own life, that’s not okay.
Xiao Yulan didn't want such an assistant minister, and she had to teach her to cherish her life when she saw him later.
After waiting and waiting, Xiao Yulan finally waited for Eunuch Li who was alone, and he looked outside the hall.
Eunuch Li wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are not here."
Xiao Yulan's face darkened: "Didn't you say he was waiting outside the Hall of Peace?"
"This old slave saw it before." Eunuch Li replied tremblingly.
Xiao Yulan was not very happy and asked, "Do you know where he went?"
Eunuch Li, who had expected him to ask such a question, replied: "The old slave asked the guard and said that he and Mr. Xie were out of the palace. I heard that the two were chatting and laughing. They are going to the teahouse to have tea and have a chat. Listen to that. It's kind of mean, it's kind of like seeing each other late."
With a 'click' sound, the writing brush in Xiao Yulan's hand broke, and with a gloomy face, he threw the broken pen in two on the ground, and suddenly got up: "Very good!"
Luo Wenge is really good, thanks to the fact that he just wanted to say a few words and let people go, now, it seems that people didn't take his anger to heart at all, it was all because of his own sentimentality.
He also talked and laughed with Xie Wenxuan, and it was too late to meet each other!
Okay, let's go to a teahouse for tea, shall we?
He refused to let the two of them stop, and said in an extremely harsh tone: "Eunuch Li, thank Wen Xuan for seeing you."
Eunuch Li made a confused face: "Your Majesty, why do you want to thank your lord for seeing me?"
Xiao Yulan glared at Eunuch Li viciously: "Just say that I have a very urgent matter to see him, the secret order, do you understand the secret order?"
Eunuch Li wanted to say that this was unreasonable, but seeing how jealous he was, he didn't dare to add fuel to the flames, and ran out to announce the decree as if his butt was on fire.
When Xiao Yulan thought of what Eunuch Li said just now, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, pinching her waist and walking back and forth angrily.
Luo Wenge didn't care if he was angry or not.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Yulan couldn't help feeling sad, what the hell!
Luo Wenge, who was scolded for being a joke, knew nothing about what happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, and was seriously asking Xie Wenxuan for advice on how to coax people.
Xie Wenxuan, who was invited to drink tea, never thought that he was looking for him because of this. After hearing the ins and outs, Xie Wenxuan made a move: "You go to him three times a day, and within seven days, your relationship will be restored to its original state. Remember , no matter how he chases you away, or throws a face at you, don't leave."
Luo Wenge understood, the core of this method is to be shameless.
Isn't this similar to what he used yesterday?
He said sadly: "It seems useless to His Majesty, he doesn't like it much."
Xie Wenxuan took a sip of tea: "That's because you didn't work hard enough."
"You mean I'm not shameless enough?" Luo Wenge asked, reacting quickly to correct, "No, are you telling me to wear water through rocks?"
Xie Wenxuan nodded lightly, remembering Xiao Yulan's coquettish coffin face that he loved to put on when he was angry, and made another trick: "Your Majesty will not take hard things, and if he doesn't talk to you, just write letters, three letters a day."
Luo Wenge rubbed his forehead: "I'm afraid that if he gets angry, he won't even let me go to court."
"Your Majesty is not such a willful person." Xie Wenxuan said.
Luo Wenge was still very worried, and felt that neither of these two methods would work.
Xie Wenxuan saw his worries, and planned to give him some insight: "Your Majesty values you, and if you are really angry, I am afraid that you are angry that you do not pay attention to your own safety. He wants to use this to make you feel sorry for your life. You might as well block him It’s a good place to talk about it.”
Having said so much, Luo Wenge prefers this method.
He raised the teacup: "Master Xie's move won my heart. Luo will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. After this is done, I will invite Mr. Xie to have a good meal at Anfeng Restaurant."
Xie Wenxuan was quite calm: "Master Luo is polite."
Luo Wenge frowned with a smile, thinking about where to block Xiao Yulan when going to Fengqi Palace tonight.
At this moment, he saw a familiar person coming up the stairs with sharp eyes. Could it be that Xiao Yulan wanted to see him?
Thinking of this, Luo Wenge said to Xie Wenxuan: "Master Xie, Eunuch Li is here."
Xie Wenxuan also understood the meaning of this, and sat still: "Master Luo, behave well, Xie is waiting to go to Anfeng Restaurant to feast on his mouth."
"Then thank you, please wait for my good news." Luo Wenge said with a smile.
As Eunuch Li was getting closer and closer, Luo Wenge half bowed, ready to leave at any time.
Eunuch Li arrived in front of him quickly, saluted the two of them first, skipped Luo Wenge who was waiting to talk, and turned to the defenseless Xie Wenxuan.
"Thank you sir, His Majesty summoned you urgently and said that you have a secret matter to discuss."
Xie Wenxuan, who never made any mistakes, choked on the tea.
Luo Wenge, who was getting ready on the opposite side, had a blank face.
Xie Wenxuan didn't know whether Xiao Yulan's secret was true or not, with a complicated face, he nodded lightly to Luo Wenge: "I obey the order."
Seeing Luo Wenge's numb expression, Eunuch Li felt some sympathy for some reason, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty lost his temper when he heard that Your Majesty and His Majesty Xie were out of the palace for a teahouse appointment."
This was said very softly, only Luo Wenge heard it.
Luo Wenge looked at Xie Wenxuan a little wrongly now, why did he think that Xiao Yulan was not looking for someone for something, but was deliberately not letting him drink tea with Xie Wenxuan?
hiss…
It seems that coaxing people is imperative.
Luo Wenge transferred Eunuch Li's sympathy for him to Xie Wenxuan, and it might be a waste of time.
Xie Wenxuan, who was the most innocent and injured in the whole process, was not a fool, and vaguely felt something else.
When he saw Xiao Yulan wiping his sword in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xie Wenxuan was even more sure of his intuition.
The vinegar from the Great Ning Dynasty may have been tributed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Thank you, Wen Xuan, for meeting His Majesty."
Xiao Yulan didn't look up: "Get up."
Xie Wenxuan got up as he said, standing still without speaking as usual.
Xiao Yulan rubbed the blade of the sword back and forth three times, and suddenly drew out the sword with a powerful sword aura. He looked at Xie Wenxuan: "Xie Aiqing is not curious why I summoned you?"
"Your Majesty will say what you want, so you don't need to be curious." Xie Wenxuan replied coldly.
Xie Wenxuan has always been the person who reassures Xiao Yulan, and his words are very straightforward.It just sounds weird and hurtful sometimes.
Xiao Yulan withdrew the sword: "You can think about it, today I just wanted Xie Aiqing to see this sword on a whim."
Xie Wenxuan glanced lightly: "I don't know swords. Your Majesty wants to find someone of the same kind, but I'm afraid you may have found the wrong one. I remember that Luo Shaoqing is good at dancing swords. Your Majesty should look for him."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yulan's face was very pale: "Xie Wenxuan, did you do it on purpose?"
"Did His Majesty do it on purpose?" Xie Wenxuan asked.
Xiao Yulan shut up instantly, refusing to answer this question.
Xie Wenxuan didn't insist on him answering, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be forgotten at all, and please don't forget the past, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said annoyed for a long time: "I see, you mentioned Mr. Yuan in the early court and continue to investigate, let's go."
"Yes, I will leave." Xie Wenxuan said.
As soon as the person left, Xiao Yulan put the sword back into its sheath, walked to the dragon chair, looked at the documents spread out on the desk, and narrowed her eyes.
After finding a way to deal with Xiao Yulan, Luo Wenge went to Dali Temple to be on duty with peace of mind.
The case of Miao Jianghai was over, and Luo An naturally returned to him.
So, when Luo Wenge came to Dali Temple, he saw Luo An and Jiang Lin staring at each other, neither of them spoke, as if they were enemies.
He walked between the two of them: "Let Rang, Rang Rang."
"Young master, I'm already back, why don't you let him go?" Luo An followed up and asked.
Jiang Lin asked dumbfoundedly: "Why did I leave when you came back? You are the son's servant, and so am I."
"What are you?" Luo An stared at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin was so overwhelmed by the momentum that he was speechless. As a secret guard, most of the time he spoke with his strength and rarely slapped his lips. He usually couldn't speak to someone as arrogant as Luo An.
Luo Wenge had a lot of troubles, so he couldn't care less about the fight between the two of them, so he dismissed them casually: "It's not the same, you two don't fight each other, stay here."
Luo An's eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "Why?"
"His martial arts are very strong." Luo Wenge said.
If it wasn't for Jiang Lin's presence yesterday, it would have been difficult for him to find so many clues. Based on this alone, he decided to keep Jiang Lin.
With a master by his side, he can rest assured, not to mention that he plans to let Jiang Lin teach him every move to save his life.
Luo An thought that his martial arts were not weak, but Jiang Lin, who was born in a dark guard, had no choice but to bow down.
Considering Luo Wenge's situation, Luo An acquiesced.
"Okay, you two don't hang around here, Luo An comes over and goes out to help me with something." Luo Wenge said.
Luo An immediately regained his energy and trotted up to him.
At night, Changle City blows a cold wind, which is bitingly cold.
King Yun, who had stayed in the post house for several days, couldn't bear it any longer, and took advantage of the moonlight to sneak out with someone quietly, heading for the bustling place in the south of the city.
Although there is a curfew in Changle City, there is a place in the south of the city that is an exception.
That is the Wenrou Lane full of pleasure-seeking Goulan courtyards. This is a prostitution place allowed by the Ning Dynasty. There are many interesting and wonderful people hidden in the alley. King Yun has heard of it when he first entered the city. Today, he finally has the opportunity to see the truth. .
He kneaded the hand of the male pet beside him with his fat paws, and squinted: "Look carefully tonight, so I can learn from it."
The male favorite smiled like a flower and leaned into King Yun's arms: "I know."
"Let's go." King Yun laughed.
When Luo Wenge arrived at Fengqi Hall, he found that there was no one in the hall. This happened once not long ago.
He wondered if Xiao Yulan would take him to the hot spring again this time, right?Thinking so, he changed his clothes first, and there was still no one after waiting.
Maybe I was thinking too much.
Luo Wenge opened the palace door and saw Zooey at the door, he asked in a low voice, "Where is Your Majesty?"
Zooey replied softly: "Your Majesty is still in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He said that because of the busy schedule today, he might have to stay there again."
Is it really that unlucky?
He tried to communicate with people, who just happened to be sleeping in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, why did he feel that Xiao Yulan was deliberately avoiding him.
Brazenly went to block people, and made people laugh when he said it, he looked at Zooey: "Auntie, does Your Majesty have any favorite snacks?"
Zooey thought for a while: “Yes.”
Luo Wenge smiled slightly: "Please trouble Auntie to lead Ben Gong to the small kitchen."
Zooey didn't know what was going on between him and Xiao Yulan, she thought the relationship between the two was deepening day by day, and she happily told him that he wanted to make snacks for Xiao Yulan himself.
Here the master and servant entered the small kitchen, while Xiao Yulan, who was nestled in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, was lighting up the lamp to criticize the memorial.
Halfway through the approval, Xiao Yulan stopped writing and asked, "Where's the queen?"
Eunuch Li knew that Xiao Yulan would ask a long time ago, so he sent someone to inquire, and at this moment he just answered: "The empress has gone to the small kitchen."
In other words, when Luo Wenge came, he didn't come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but went to the kitchen.
Xiao Yulan frowned: "What is he doing there?"
Eunuch Li smiled warmly: "Your Majesty is going to make some snacks for His Majesty. She said that His Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I'm afraid I didn't have a good dinner, so I want to make some snacks for Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan looked strange.
Luo Wenge cooks for him himself, is that really okay?If he remembers correctly, Luo Wenge has always been a son of a man who never touches the spring water.
One day, the son who had never been in the kitchen had a whim to cook, why did Xiao Yulan feel a chill down her spine the more she thought about it.
"Follow me to have a look." Xiao Yulan put down the memorial and said.
Eunuch Li was surprised: "Is Your Majesty worried about your mother's safety? The kitchen is not a dangerous place."
"No, I'm worried that he will knock me down when he cooks." Xiao Yulan said with strides.
Eunuch Li listened to it for a while before he understood the deep meaning. He was so shocked that he sweated coldly, and ran after him to explain: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. Your Majesty is all for you."
Xiao Yulan couldn't agree with this, thinking about how to persuade Luo Wenge to give up the idea of cooking in the kitchen.
After waiting outside the small kitchen of Fengxi Palace, Xiao Yulan tiptoed in after waving away the maid and eunuch who wanted to kneel down.
Seeing the scene inside, Xiao Yulan was taken aback. The scene of jumping like chickens and dogs in his imagination did not appear.
Luo Wenge simply tied her hair, wore an apron, and skillfully kneaded the dough, while Zooey stood aside and did not share her hands.
Xiao Yulan was absent-minded for a moment, and the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart surged up again, making him doubt the authenticity of Luo Wenge in front of him again.
Zooey saw Xiao Yulan first, and walked over to Fushen with small steps: "Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Well, I have something to say to the queen alone." Xiao Yulan's eyes kept falling on Luo Wenge.
Zooey retreated knowingly.
In the small kitchen filled with fragrance, there were only two people left looking at each other.
Luo Wenge looked at Xiao Yulan for a while, turned his face and lowered his eyes and continued kneading his face.
Xiao Yulan took a few steps towards him: "Are you really good at cooking?"
"Your Majesty will know after tasting it later." Luo Wenge replied.
Xiao Yulan became more suspicious in her heart, staring at his peaceful and beautiful profile: "Then I will wait."
Singer Luo Wen kept moving, and started to chase people away: "There is heavy oily smoke here, Your Majesty, go out and wait."
"It's okay, I still have something to say." Xiao Yulan said.
Luo Wenge felt helpless for a moment, but finally followed Xiao Yulan's wishes: "Please speak, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yulan pulled a scallion in his hand boredly and played with it: "I have seen the things you left behind, and I know that it is imperative to check the Tianming Pavilion. Check it carefully. If you need anything, just come to me."
"Yes." Luo Wenge agreed.
Talking about the Destiny Pavilion, Xiao Yulan said that she couldn't stop getting down to business: "There are not a few women in the city who are suitable for that pavilion owner. Before Shen Ruqing entered the palace, she had many acquaintances with handkerchiefs."
Luo Wenge couldn't help asking: "What's the relationship between Xu Jinyuan and Shen Ruqing?"
Xiao Yulan glanced at him: "I thought about her too, but one thing is very important. When Shen Ruqing mentioned Xu Jinyuan, she would definitely not use old acquaintances to match them. Both of them are famous, beautiful and talented women in Changle City, and they are related to you. Say It is not an exaggeration to say that water and fire cannot tolerate each other, but Shen Ruqing will definitely not go to any place where Xu Jinyuan haunts."
If that's the case, why did he feel that she was quite normal when he saw Shen Ruqing these few times?
With this question written on his face, Xiao Yulan saw it and answered naturally: "Shen Ruqing is also forced by the situation now. Xu Jinyuan is the empress, and she is the imperial concubine. No matter how you look at it, the imperial concubine is always one step lower than the empress. She wants to gain a firm foothold in the harem. You have to let go of the past and start over. That's why she was polite when she saw you."
Luo Wenge suddenly realized, looking at it this way, Shen Ruqing can see it and let it go.
Should he consider reevaluating Shen Ruqing?
This is a very different woman.
Probably he was influenced by the news before and made a wrong judgment on Shen Ruqing, he lowered his eyebrows: "What does Your Majesty think of her being a matchmaker for Tianming Pavilion?"
Xiao Yulan tore off the onion stalk bit by bit, sticking her hands with sticky paste, and said with a frown, "I'm just courting death."
Luo Wenge turned his head to see Xiao Yulan's childlike behavior, and suppressed a smile: "Your Majesty, remember to clean your hands with soap later, otherwise your hands will smell like onions."
Xiao Yulan put down the green onion, took a rag and wiped it: "I vaguely feel that Mr. Yuan that Xie Wenxuan found out today has something to do with this Tianming Pavilion."
This is just to talk to him about business, and the anger is still there.
Luo Wenge looked at the dough in front of him in disappointment, and said in a low tone: "Well, I also feel the same way. Today Shen Ge said at the meeting that he recommended the candidate for the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. I thought that Wen Tianzhong might be coming back, and suddenly the situation in the court It's more complicated, Your Majesty should take advantage of the new year's imperial examinations to find more useful talents."
"I thought that instead of waiting for the imperial examination, it would be better to transfer back the people who were demoted by Shen Jue through my hand." Xiao Yulan said.
Those who were relegated were mostly disciples of Mr. Luo Ge. Xiao Yulan can really rest assured that they will be transferred back?
Luo Wenge was skeptical, although he had no intention of rebelling now, his subordinates still had such unrealistic fantasies.
If you really want to bring those people back, I'm afraid...
Luo Wenge kneaded the dough in a hurry, and the dough was ready in a short while.
Xiao Yulan had been paying attention to the changes in his expression, and could sense his emotional ups and downs. Seeing that he was silent because of what he said just now, she couldn't help asking: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
These words hit Luo Wenge's heart.
Holding the rolling pin, Luo Wenge couldn't tell if he was aggrieved or aggrieved: "Yes, isn't it because you are afraid that His Majesty won't listen?"
This tone made Xiao Yulan's heart skip a beat, and she always felt like she was bullying: "When did I stop listening?"
"Yesterday." Luo Wenge replied quickly, as if he was afraid that he would not admit it.
Xiao Yulan was taken aback by his reaction, and said in a low voice, "Don't say that, it wasn't because you made a mistake at the time, and I was so angry that you did that?"
"Yes, I admit that I didn't think carefully about what happened yesterday, and didn't take my own safety into consideration. There was also a reason for what happened at the time, and I couldn't let go of such a great opportunity." Luo Wenge couldn't vomit, seeing Xiao Yulan showing signs of speaking, he The rolling pin in his hand took a step forward, "Listen to me."
Xiao Yulan had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips, and raised her hand to signal him to speak.
Luo Wenge took a long breath: "I know the reason for your majesty's anger, and I have also reflected on myself. I have repeatedly warned myself that I will not do it again in the future, let alone make your majesty pay an unnecessary price for it. I, Luo Wenge, will start from today. , I vowed to put my own life first, and no matter how important the investigation is, I must take my life as the safety. I must sincerely say to Your Majesty, I am sorry for making Your Majesty worry."
Xiao Yulan never thought that he would do this, and when she saw it suddenly, she didn't know how to react, and froze in place, staring at him silently.
Luo Wenge's hand holding the rolling pin moved a few times uncomfortably, and turned around awkwardly to roll out the dough, as if avoiding the embarrassment of not getting Xiao Yulan's answer.
Only now did Xiao Yulan come back to her senses, and finally showed a slight smile: "This is not the method Xie Wenxuan taught you."
Singer Luo Wen shook, almost rolled the rolling pin into the dough and couldn't get it out: "Your Majesty, you know again?"
"I don't know anything." Xiao Yulan said.
The more he said that, the more Luo Wenge felt that he knew everything. He wished he could hide in the dough, and didn't know where to put his hands: "Your Majesty, don't blame Mr. Xie. It was because I had no choice but to ask him for help."
Xiao Yulan thought of Xie Wenxuan's cold face giving him a bad idea, and immediately shook her head in dismay and said, "One of you dares to speak, and the other dares to listen, and it's a good thing you don't have the skills to use him, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be angry for a few more days."
Luo Wenge suddenly understood something, turned his face and said in surprise: "Your Majesty is not angry anymore?"
"Do you think I'm angry?" Xiao Yulan asked in a low voice, admiring his reaction speed, and said, "If I want to continue to be angry, you don't know how to act pitiful, and you will do something wrong to me." Like."
Luo Wenge blushed upon hearing this, bit her lips and said weakly, "I didn't pretend to be pitiful."
"Well, maybe it's because I just showed my true feelings, that you felt aggrieved and sad when I was angry and ignored you." Xiao Yulan teased.
Luo Wenge blushed even more, pretending to be very busy and said: "The water is about to boil, I have to prepare noodles quickly."
Xiao Yulan realized that this was a cover-up, so she didn't continue the topic just now, and stood quietly looking down at him.
The two reconciled that night, and because of the heart-to-heart and noodles, the relationship was silently deeper than before.
Some things are also quietly growing, only waiting for the right time to ferment vigorously.
As Luo Wenge and Xiao Yulan expected, Shen Jue's candidate to replace Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was Wen Tianzhong. Correspondingly, Xiao Yulan wanted to pull out the Shen Party member, so he agreed.
Immediately, it is planned to call Wen Tianzhong back to Beijing to report on his work, and then to do promotion.
As for the vacancy of Uwai Lang, a member of the household department, Xiao Yulan promoted an unremarkable person.
The simple transfer of personnel in two places is a metaphor for the imminent turmoil, and the hearts of all officials are disturbed.
After a few days of peace, Luo Wenge was ordered to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have an audience.
Xiao Yulan asked someone to give him a seat, and when he sat down, he briefly explained the reason for the summoning: "I mean, before the four of them leave Beijing, I will accompany you to take a good tour of Changle City."
As a reception envoy, Luo Wenge had indeed not fulfilled his duties these past few days, so when Xiao Yulan said it, he immediately responded: "I understand."
"They have something they like, just buy it, and I will make it up for you later." Xiao Yulan said again.
Luo Wenge smiled: "I don't think His Majesty will have to pay for it."
This is true, which prince is not richer than Xiao Yulan?
If Xiao Yulan was really asked to pay for it, they wouldn't feel at ease, for fear that Xiao Yulan would miss something again.
The experience of being cheated in the Hall of Mental Cultivation on the day of entering Beijing must still be vivid in my mind.
Now Xiao Yulan has a special ability to interpret Luo Wenge's expression, it seems that when he smiles, Xiao Yulan knows whether he is sincere or fake, and can also understand the meaning of the smile.
Xiao Yulan didn't know what this meant, but it was a bit weird anyway, seeing him like this, she also smiled: "It seems that I'm being very unreasonable when you say that."
"I don't mean that." Luo Wenge said.
Xiao Yulan waved her hand: "I know what you mean, you just need to bring your words, it's their business whether you don't appreciate it or not."
Luo Wenge got up: "Yes. That minister is going to meet the princes."
"Wait." Xiao Yulan suddenly called to stop Luo Wenge who was about to leave.
Luo Wenge turned around and looked at Xiao Yulan who was hesitant to speak in doubt: "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yulan struggled for a moment, seemed unable to wipe her face away, and rushed away impatiently: "It's okay, let's go."
Luo Wenge turned around and left, not at all curious about what Xiao Yulan said, after all, if he didn't say it now, he still had to say it tonight.
Right now, it's better to finish the errand of leading the princes to visit Changle City first.
Luo Wenge didn't know much about Changle City, all he knew was what was described in the original book, so he had to rely on Luo An to help set up a place for people to visit.
He went out of the palace to meet Luo An: "I won't be on duty at Dali Temple in the afternoon, let's accompany the princes to visit Changle City."
Luo An was surprised: "There is nothing to do in Changle City. The good places where you can listen to books are closed. The cruise ships are too cold in winter. Wouldn't it be good to go shopping in the streets and alleys where snacks are sold?"
Luo Wenge had never been to any of the places Luo An mentioned, nor was he interested in them. He said, "This is not with us. As long as the princes are willing to go, they can take it with them."
Luo An understood.
Jiang Lin's mind was still on the first sentence: "Do you want to visit the city?"
Luo An said unhappily: "Well, bring more money, you can eat a lot, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."
Jiang Lin didn't care, thinking that such a place must be crowded and dangerous, so the host should be well protected.
Luo Wenge lifted the curtain of the car. Today is a good day, the sun is shining brightly, and it's not bad to go out for a stroll. He thought so and let the groom go to the nearest post house first.
