Luo Wenge suspected that Xiao Yulan was flirting with him, and even thought that he would not dare to fight back because of his shyness, then this was a big mistake.
He Luo Wenge didn't know how to fight back. Hearing this, he turned around calmly and pointed at the brocade quilt between the two of them: "Come on, Your Majesty can share the quilt with me if you can."
Xiao Yulan looked at him indifferently: "You said it, don't say I'm playing a hooligan later."
Luo Wenge didn't speak, just pushed the Jin quilt slightly away, it was very clear what he meant.
Xiao Yulan wasn't a coward either, she threw away her quilt immediately and got into his quilt.
Throughout the ages, others have been under the emperor's bed, and there are very few emperors who take the initiative to get under the bed of others. It is very rare to see him tonight.
Luo Wenge felt that there was a warm wall against his back, and there was naturally a strong arm around his waist that imprisoned him. Xiao Yulan pressed her chin on top of his head, and sighed in satisfaction: "Luo Shaoqing, how warm is the temperature in my arms?" satisfy?"
Luo Wenge groped for Xiao Yulan's hand, clasped his fingers together, closed his eyes and lazily said: "Satisfied, Your Majesty is the best."
Xiao Yulan smiled lowly: "Well, it would be better to say this elsewhere."
Luo Wenge hummed softly, and didn't answer the yellow accent, feeling drowsy gradually welling up, he held Xiao Yulan's hand tightly, and fell asleep just like that.
Xiao Yulan noticed that he was soundly asleep, so she pulled him into her arms and closed her eyes.
In the same Changle City, different atmospheres and different people will naturally have different things happen.
A few streets away from Luo Mansion, there is a courtyard at the far west corner of Xuanwu Street, at the entrance of the courtyard stood two men in black cloaks covering their faces, one of them, under the instruction of the other, knocked on the courtyard door, The courtyard door opened in response to the sound, it should have been contacted in advance and was specially waiting here.
The door was opened with a small gap, and the person who opened the door hid behind the door with only half of his face exposed. He was very vigilant, and when he saw the knocker, he immediately turned sideways silently and let people in.
The two men in black also moved very quickly. They entered the courtyard in the blink of an eye, and the courtyard door was quickly closed again.
The moonlight was not bright enough to illuminate the scene in the courtyard, and three figures could be vaguely seen shuttling among the mottled shadows of the trees.
The guide did not say a word, and the two who came in also remained silent. The three of them seemed to be dumb and quickly reached the east wing of the courtyard.
The passer-by opened the door and stood aside spontaneously, and closed the door after the two of them entered, without any intention of entering the room.
"General Xu came late at night, do you have something important to discuss?"
Hearing his voice before seeing him, the two covered by cloaks were silent, and after a while, one of them took off his hat, revealing a resolute face, it was the majestic and majestic Zhenbei General Xu Yingping in the court.
Xu Yingping looked at the tall screen, and said calmly: "If the old man doesn't come here again, Mr. Yuan will forget who helped the royal family earn money."
"Hey, what did General Xu say? I forget that no one will forget you. The royal family can live a life full of food and clothing these years. It is thanks to your hard work. This time I came here from a long distance. Follow the emperor's will to visit the general." Mr. Yuan said again, at this time a tall and tall figure appeared behind the screen.
Xu Yingping didn't like this, and said coldly: "I've been talking for a long time, Mr. Yuan doesn't want to show his true face, is it because he looks down on this old man?"
"The general is really short-tempered. I have just bathed and changed clothes. I would be too rude to meet guests without dressing neatly. Besides, the general is a partner that the monarch values very much. If I despise him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the monarch?" Wearing a belt, he walked out from behind the screen. This person has deep eyebrows, high cheekbones, and an unpleasant aura all over his body. His expression is peaceful.
Xu Yingping watched Mr. Yuan come to the table, and stretched out his hand to signal him: "General, come and sit here, and taste the snow tea I brought from northern Xinjiang. This is a special reward from the monarch when he heard that I was coming to see the general. In this way, it shows the importance to the general."
Xu Yingping walked over and sat down with a straight face: "Young Master Yuan, don't just say nice things to fool the old man. I don't have any other intentions to come here. I just want to ask, when will your lord plan to attack the border?"
Mr. Yuan poured tea for the two of them, and said with a polite smile: "It depends on whether the general can create chaos in the city. As long as Xiao Yulan can't spare the time to control the border, then it will be the day when our northern Xinjiang warriors go out to fight. Besides, Only when the general takes action, can there be a legitimate reason to transfer Mr. Xu back, do you think this is the reason?"
In the end, I still want him to do it first. Isn't it obvious that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?
Xu Yingping understood the deep meaning in it, and her heart was cold and cold. The good cooperation for many years was over, and the royal family of Northern Xinjiang was not human!
Xu Yingping held her breath. If she didn't know that her son was living an inhuman life in the border and would suffer various assassinations, Xu Yingping would not have agreed to cooperate with them.
This cooperation has lasted for six years, and the white-eyed wolf has not been cooked for six years. Now that I want to ask the other party for a favor, it is still vague, what is it? !
The more Xu Yingping thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't drink the tea anymore, so she leaned forward and said, "Master Yuan should keep this tea for himself, I don't have such a good fortune, so I leave."
Mr. Yuan's eyes turned slightly, and he changed his attitude: "Hey, hey, don't go, general, everything is easy to discuss, you have to speak clearly so that I can convey it to the monarch, our relationship is so good, how can we just say a few words? If you don't say it, you will turn your face."
Xu Yingping's face was as cold as ice, and his tone was angry: "What else is there to say? You don't know what the old man wants? Push left and right, but you don't want to help!"
It can be seen that he is really angry. Combined with the news he got in Beijing in the past few days, Mr. Yuan can easily figure out the reason why he is so irritable. It will be achieved soon, just wait patiently for another two days.”
Xu Yingping's expression turned sour, and he didn't hear anything useful after listening for a long time. He said, "Wait two more days, and you should add new soil to my grave. Do you know that Sanfasi has been following me recently, like a dog's skin plaster?" Yes, I can't even get rid of it, especially the presiding judge Luo Wenge, it's nothing more than a clear mind and ruthless methods, I think I will die in his hands sooner or later!"
Young Master Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly gave him advice: "The general knows who is the most threatening to you, why didn't you take any action?"
Xu Yingping's eyes changed slightly, which meant that he wanted to attack Luo Wenge.
In fact, when Luo Wenge personally went to Taohuawan to investigate the case, Xu Yingping also had this idea, which made people disappear without anyone noticing. There are so many killers in Tianming Pavilion, even if they are found out afterwards, they can just find someone to take the blame , once and for all.
Just when Xu Yingping was about to make a move, he received the shocking news that it was not his daughter who stayed in the harem for the next few months, but Luo Wenge.
If the queen was really Luo Wenge, things would be completely different, and Xiao Yulan's attitude would be even more confused.
Before this, he always thought that Xu Jinyuan was in the palace and loved by Xiao Yulan every day.
Afterwards, he saw Xu Jinyuan who was driven like a street mouse, and it was useless to beat and scold him. All he could do was protect his daughter and clean up the mess.
Xu Yingping really felt that the passing of time was unfavorable, so she finally made preparations and had a chance to take Xu Shaoyan in front of her and take care of her, but Xu Jinyuan disturbed her.
Sometimes, Xu Yingping felt that Xu Jinyuan owed a wronged debt.
However, Xu Yingping couldn't explain all these to Mr. Yuan Daoming, feeling very tired and said: "No."
"Why not?" Young Master Yuan pushed the teacup over again, this time Xu Yingping did not refuse again, Young Master Yuan smiled evilly when he saw this, "Is it because you can't touch him, or is it because he made you dare not move?"
No matter what the reason is, it seems that he, the general, has done nothing majestic.
Xu Yingping didn't want to save face, and directly admitted: "I can't."
"You can't do it, leave it to me." Mr. Yuan said with a smile.
Xu Yingping resisted the urge to speak, and continued to say for a long time: "You have to be careful, he is not an ordinary person."
Of course, Mr. Yuan knew that Luo Wenge was not an ordinary person, how could someone who dared to snatch someone from him be ordinary?
Young Master Yuan sipped his tea and said in a soft voice, "How do you think he died to be decent?"
Xu Yingping didn't want to discuss Luo Wenge's method of death, so he said briefly: "If you die as much as possible, you must see the corpse."
Young Master Yuan added some tea to Xu Yingping: "I will handle the matter, the general can rest assured, I will let him die very reasonably."
Xu Yingping was upset, he didn't even know the taste of the snow tea he drank, and said: "Young Master Yuan said that as long as my side does something in Changle City, the royal family will lend a helping hand?"
Mr. Yuan nodded, and said in affirmative tone: "Yes, the Ning Dynasty seized many territories in our northern border. The monarch had the intention of attacking earlier, but he didn't find a good time. It's also thanks to the general who was willing to be a pawn. , Whatever the general wants, the royal family will try their best to satisfy."
This is really a shameless statement, Xu Yingping showed sarcasm, and only Mr. Yuan could say that whether Beijiang coveted Ning Dynasty's vast land and rich resources, or Ning Dynasty was the first to succeed in Beijiang, the world knew very well.
Xu Yingping didn't argue with him on this kind of matter, pushed away the teacup and got up: "Let the old man go back and think about it, and Luo Wenge over there will be handled by the young master."
"Well, it's good for the general to wait for the good news." Young Master Yuan said cheerfully.
Xu Yingping nodded indiscriminately, put on her cloak and left with her men.
Jibuha, who was guarding the door, came in with a bow and said softly, "He is very anxious."
Mr. Yuan raised his head and finished drinking the tea in the cup, and when he put down the teacup, he exerted a little force: "Of course he is anxious. He once took advantage of the emperor's young age to do a foolish thing and was found out with a stroke of a pen. It was enough to punish the nine clans. Anyone would be anxious, let alone He also colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, if we really want to find conclusive evidence, the nine clans are not enough to punish him."
"Then we really want to help him kill Luo Wenge?" Jibuha asked hesitantly.
Mr. Yuan thought of the prosperous face that he caught a glimpse of that day, and his smile turned cold: "Of course I will kill him. With him around, it will be much more difficult for the monarch to lead the Ning Dynasty. Killing him can be considered as clearing the obstacles for the monarch in advance. It is a good thing." , you go out tomorrow to find out the news and figure out his daily routine, let's find a chance to do him, so that Xu Yingping won't give up his life by chirping and quacking."
Jibuha said he knew, Yuan Gongzi threw the remaining snow tea bag into Jibuha's arms: "Take it and drink."
Jibuha picked up the tea bag and sniffed it: "Is this the tea I bought on the street a few days ago?"
Mr. Yuan stretched his waist, and said slowly: "What is he, Xu Yingping, who deserves to drink snow tea? He also deserves this old tea with a big bag of broken silver."
Ji Buha wrinkled his nose, full of disgust, when Mr. Yuan saw it, he burst out laughing.
Leaving the yard and walking against the wall, the master and servant were relatively speechless. It wasn't until they returned to the Zhenbei General's Mansion that the accompanying butler said, "Master, I don't think that Mr. Yuan seems to be doing what he says."
Xu Yingping drank hot tea to drive away the cold, with a cold expression: "I know, so I'm waiting for him to attack Luo Wenge."
"If he really wants to do it, the master will do it?" the butler asked.
Xu Yingping was silent for a moment, and answered the question: "Is there any news about your son these days?"
"Yes, the young master said that everything is going well for him and there is no serious problem. Let the master pay more attention to his body, don't work too hard, and ask his sister to be well." The housekeeper repeated Xu Shaoyan's letter verbatim.
Xu Yingping's expression was much softer, and she felt warm for Xu Shaoyan's filial piety, so she didn't take this risk for him in vain.
"Go and inquire about Xu Yan's news again. I want to know if he has said anything in the past two days. I don't want to hear any unfavorable remarks at the banquet tomorrow."
"Yes." The butler replied.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was gloomy, dark clouds covered the city, and there was no bright light. The sunny day finally changed on New Year's Eve.
Luo Wenge was attacked by the cold wind, so he couldn't help but wear two more clothes, which made him fatter. With candied fruit in his mouth to suppress the bitter taste, he led Luo An to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Jiang Lin had to go to Deji Hall today. So he didn't follow.
Luo An shrank his neck and complained in a low voice: "This is the day, the young master still refuses to cultivate at home and insists on running outside. When will he be able to recover his health?"
"According to what you mean, I have to sleep, eat and drink in bed, and live like a piggy with no ideals." Luo Wenge asked.
Luo An smiled and said: "No, son, you are so good-looking, how can you look like a pig?"
"Why did I go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you don't have a clue?" Luo Wenge glanced at Luo An out of the corner of his eye.
Of course Luo An knew that Qu Jing followed Xie Wenxuan's orders back then, no one knew better than him how cunning this man was.
For Luo Wenge and Qu Jing to face each other, it took a lot of effort.
Luo An knew that he liked to do things by himself, but he had to be physically able to bear it. Thinking of Luo Rong's words last night, Luo An felt that Luo Wenge had really changed, like a loyal minister serving the emperor.
"Here we are." Luo Wenge looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate not far away, his expression slightly restrained.
Luo An put away a basket of words, kept quiet and entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Today Luo Wenge deliberately came one step earlier, before Xie Wenxuan and Murong Yu left the palace, to meet Qu Jing who was used to coming early.
The moment Luo Wenge entered the room, as he wished, he saw the back of Qu Jing standing in the pile of documents, and the other party was tidying up.
He fine-tuned his expression and showed a little surprise: "Qudu?"
Qu Jing paused slightly, half turned around and bowed in salute: "Morning Luo Shaoqing."
"Morning, I didn't expect someone to be earlier than me. Qudu is really dedicated to his duties. This kind of spirit makes me feel inferior." Luo Wenge said ashamedly.
Qu Jing was a little nervous after being praised, he didn't know where to put his hands, and his demeanor was reserved: "It's a habit. I have developed a habit over the years. If I don't come early every day, I feel itchy."
Luo Wenge pursed his lips and said with a smile: "This is a good habit. Then come so early every day, Qudu will sort out the paperwork?"
Qu Jing's eyes were calm, and he replied very calmly: "That's not true, I am responsible for the affairs of my duty every day, and I will not interfere in other people's affairs."
Luo Wenge nodded while turning to look at the things Qu Jing had sorted out. He raised his eyes: "If everyone has the self-awareness of Qu Du's affairs, the case will be handled much faster."
"Lord Luo praises it absurdly. This is a personal habit of a subordinate official, and we can't ask everyone to do the same." Qu Jing said neither humble nor overbearing.
After Luo Wenge played two hahas, he found that Qu Jing was as rigorous as ever, and if the chat continued like this, he wouldn't be able to ask anything.
"I don't know if Qu Dushi heard what happened in the cell yesterday." Luo Wenge said as if chatting.
Qu Jing didn't know, and shook his head: "I don't know."
"That's true. I want you to know that Xie Wenxuan's position may not be stable. To be honest, after I found out yesterday, I wondered how he could be the censor of Zuodu with his ability? Let me tell you about this position." , it’s more appropriate for Qudu to do things.” Luo Wenge made a small fuss, waiting to see how Qu Jing would answer.
Qu Jing was terrified, and said in a panic: "My lord, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xie's ability is beyond the capabilities of the lower senses."
"But what happened under his supervision is really because he didn't take good care of him. It's just an excuse to say that he was taking advantage of someone's danger. In the final analysis, it's because of his lack of ability." Luo Wenge pretended to be very angry, and his tone was resentful Get up, "If you want to do things in Qudu, I think that such a tragedy will never happen. When the case in Taohuawan is closed, I will ask His Majesty to play Qudu and let Qudu go to Dali Temple. Qudu will definitely be on the rise by then. "
Qu Jing was slightly shocked, he didn't understand whether his words were true or not, so he hastily rejected: "That won't work, how dare you bother Master Luo."
Luo Wenge patted Qu Jing on the shoulder several times, and said earnestly, "Don't bother me. It's my wish to have someone as capable as Qu Du Shi help me. Qu Du Shi also knows that some time ago, Dali Temple made His Majesty clear it up with an imperial decree." It’s empty, the people who take office now are a group of so-called high-ranking and poor scholars who don’t know what to say, they write poems and songs and Fu, how can they be used for investigation.”
Qu Jing was unmoved, instead of playing a role in Dali Temple, it would be better to do better in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and declined again: "My lord is joking, since he can be nominated by His Majesty to enter Dali Temple, he is not a stupid person. It must be unfamiliar, just check it a few times."
He is really a reckless person. After talking so much, he didn't show any flaws.
Luo Wenge narrowed his eyes, and wanted to make persistent efforts, but when he saw Xie Wenxuan and Murong Yu coming together, he had to give up.
"It's auspicious to borrow songs, I hope so."
Xie Wenxuan and Murong Yu tried their best to delay coming over, exchanged glances with Luo Wenge when they entered the door, and understood the meaning of failure, the two had already expected it.
Qu Jing has been hiding in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for all these years, how could he make a fool out of him so easily?
To deal with this kind of person, he had to throw the evidence all over his face and interrogate him simply and roughly, leaving him speechless.
Murong Yu has been working hard to collect evidence, to see if he can catch Qu Jing's fox tail, Xie Wenxuan's performance is very flat, not letting others see the clues.
Because it was New Year's Eve and they were going to the palace to enjoy a banquet, they left early so that the officials would have time to go home and prepare, so that their faces would not be dirty and the emperor's eyes would be dirty.
Just after lunch, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate left one after another, and Luo Wenge went to see Xu Yan before leaving.
Today Xu Yan was still as unkempt as he was, seeing him with a numb face, not saying anything, just pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Luo Wenge was also very straightforward: "I'll ask someone to bring you some delicious food later on. It's too inhumane to eat food mixed with Shenxian pills on New Year's Eve."
Xu Yan suddenly raised his head, looked at him with hatred, and said fiercely: "You don't need to be a good person!"
"I'm just telling the truth, you don't need to get too excited. In a few days, you won't be able to eat good food even if you want to, so cherish it." Luo Wenge dropped these words and left without looking back.
Xu Yan clasped his hands on the pillar of the cell, watching him disappearing into the depths of the backlight, feeling uneasy suddenly, what did he mean by that? !
Luo Wenge successfully laid the groundwork for Xu Yan, and went home in a happy mood, planning to change into his clothes and then take a nap. When Jiang Lin came back, he would almost be able to enter the palace.
He planned well, returned to the room after using the decoction, and found that there were many people in the room.
He looked at the person lying on the bed majestically, and at the time in the courtyard, he really felt that it was the clearest decision to ask Xiao Yulan to change the entrance of the secret passage to the room.
"Why is Your Majesty here now?" He closed the door and walked towards the bed.
Xiao Yulan looked at him with half-opened eyes, and said lazily, "I want to come over and see what you have prepared."
"How else can I prepare?" Luo Wenge asked, "What does His Majesty want me to prepare?"
"Get ready and wait for Zhen to pick you up." Xiao Yulan said with a smile.
Luo Wenge smiled: "Your Majesty is not going to hide it?"
Xiao Yulan frowned, thinking of Xu Yingping first and then Shen Jue, she said angrily: "Sooner or later, I will tell them to go away."
Luo Wenge looked at Xiao Yulan: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty has the talent to be a foolish emperor. If it's true, no matter whether it's indiscriminate or indiscriminate, the officials will be able to curse outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for three days and three nights, right?"
Xiao Yulan snorted and said, "Let them scold, and in the end they will find that it is because of you that I let people go out. I wonder if Luo Shaoqing will still be as complacent as she is now."
"My reputation in Changle City is mediocre now, and no matter how much the officials scold me, I can't say anything."
"Speaking of your reputation, I wonder if I should ask Xie Wenxuan to clarify it for you." Xiao Yulan said, thinking of Shen Jue's words yesterday, it was inexplicably harsh.
Luo Wenge untied his belt, pushed Xiao Yulan, and asked people to move inside: "For the time being, there is no need, the matter has not been clarified yet, and His Majesty's identity must continue to be kept secret. This has to be explained for no reason. It really gives Xu Yingping and Shen Jue a chance. It is completely unnecessary to complicate something that is clearly successful in one fell swoop."
He said it's not necessary, so it's not necessary.
Xiao Yulan moved inside while shaking off the brocade quilt, and spread it beside him: "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you at the banquet, so you have to be more careful, don't look at them pretending to be important ministers, I don't know what kind of dirty thoughts they have in their hearts. How much cleaner are they than those seemingly dirty people. Especially King Yun and Wen Tianzhong, these two people are not pure in their minds. King Yun has been making small moves recently. Best chance."
Xiao Yulan explained a lot in one breath, Luo Wenge's eyes fell on the outer robe that the other party was still wearing: "Didn't Your Majesty come to accompany me to take a nap?"
What Xiao Yulan wanted to say stuck in her throat, her eyes flickered and she coughed softly: "What, I have to go to Xuanyi Hall later."
Luo Wenge quickly took off his outer robe, rolled into the brocade quilt: "What are you doing?"
"I don't know where Eunuch Li heard the news this morning, saying that Shen Ruqing was unwell, and she was losing her temper and refused to let the imperial doctor take a pulse. Let me pay more attention. What he meant was that all the acting should be done in full. past."
"Then you went over?" Luo Wenge asked calmly, "Didn't you see that our brave and mighty emperor is so obedient?"
Xiao Yulan, as a leader who has been jealous countless times in those years, is quite keen to taste the sourness in his words, pulling the corner of the quilt, lying on a reclining cheek and teasing: "No, I am usually a very assertive person. People don't like to listen to other people's opinions, but I must listen to someone's words."
Luo Wenge looked sideways at Xiao Yulan with no expression on his face, pursed his lips lightly and didn't intend to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yulan said to herself: "That is a virtuous wife. In the history books, there was an emperor who was afraid of Zitong, and it can be regarded as a good story. I am not afraid of others making fun of me, but I am afraid that someone will be jealous and ignore him."
"Who is jealous, who ignores people?" Luo Wenge asked.
Xiao Yulan suppressed a smile: "Whoever answers the conversation is the one."
Luo Wenge was not annoyed either, and asked instead: "Then when His Majesty is angry, does he ignore people?"
This really caught Xiao Yulan's question, and he remembered that he had been jealous several times, and he himself ignored people, so Xiao Yulan rubbed the tip of his nose embarrassingly.
Luo Wenge pulled back the corner of the quilt, yawned and chased away: "Your Majesty, hurry up to Xuanyi Hall, I'm going to take a nap."
"Tell me first, are you jealous?" Xiao Yulan persevered, and wanted to pull the corner of the quilt, but was grabbed and slapped the back of her hand.
"No, I think His Majesty will take the court envoys to Xuanyi Hall to make sure of something?" Luo Wenge saw that the back of Xiao Yulan's retracted hand was red, and thought to himself, did he hit someone too hard just now?
Xiao Yulan put her hand on his pillow honestly, and muttered in a low voice: "Well, I think it's necessary to confirm it again, lest she make false claims and say it belongs to me."
The more Luo Wenge looked at the red mark on the back of Xiao Yulan's hand, the more regretful he felt. He put his hand on the back of the other's hand and rubbed it lightly: "I know you're doing business, or is it that I'm just jealous in His Majesty's heart?"
Xiao Yulan squinted her eyes to enjoy him touching her, and dragged her tone: "Sometimes you are more jealous, to me, it is a sign of caring, and I will be very happy."
This kind of explanation inevitably reminded Luo Wenge of the way someone was jealous a few times before, and he immediately understood it. He smiled and said, "Then I will try my best in the future."
Xiao Yulan also laughed: "You don't have to embarrass yourself, I know exactly what kind of temper you have."
Luo Wenge thinks this kind of feeling is really good. You don't need to say anything too clearly, the other person can understand it with just one look. I really don't know how Xiao Yulan has practiced such special skills, as if he can understand his inner activities.
"Is Your Majesty still leaving?" he asked.
Xiao Yulan took his hand, pressed it against her cheek, and fondled it affectionately: "I'll leave when you fall asleep."
This meant to supervise his sleep, Luo Wenge said helplessly, "Your Majesty is worried that I won't sleep?"
"No." Xiao Yulan said, "It's to give me more opportunities to watch you secretly."
Xiao Yulan was the only one who could say these kind of obscene words. Luo Wenge's expression was a little flustered, but his heart felt sweet at the first moment.
He didn't know how to answer, and Xiao Yulan's hand covered his eyes by surprise, and the other party coaxed him softly in a low voice: "Sleep well, be obedient, the banquet is over tonight, I will give you whatever you want."
Luo Wenge's lips curled up slightly, and if he really wanted something, he would give it. Xiao Yulan's sincerity gave too much, and it weighed down his heart, wanting to give something back.
How about giving back?
He racked his brains to think, thinking that the Sea of Consciousness became drowsy in the end, sleepiness followed one after another, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Luo Wenge woke up again, the outside of the window was illuminated by snow, piercing through the thin window paper, and the inside of the room was also illuminated as if it were daytime, so he couldn't tell what time it was for a moment.
The room was warm, and there was still a faint scent of ambergris beside the pillow. The lingering warmth was no longer there, and Xiao Yulan had been away for a while.
After Luo Wenge put on his outer robe, he noticed that it was brighter than before. When he opened the window, he saw that the ground was covered with white snow. Changle City ushered in the third heavy snow this year, and the flakes of goose feathers were much bigger than the previous two.
It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and I hope it is true, so that the Ning Dynasty can have a smooth year in the coming year.
Less than an hour after the window was opened, snow drifted into the room and disappeared into the air before it hit the ground. The temperature in the room was too high. Luo Wenge closed the window, shook off the fox fur and put it on. When he opened the door, he saw that he was hiding under the porch, with half of his body covered with snow. Xue's Jiang Lin rubbed the space between his eyebrows: "Why didn't you knock on the door when you came?"
"Uncle Rong said that the young master is taking a nap, so I don't want to disturb you." Jiang Lin's expression remained the same. His martial arts skills also had the advantage of not being afraid of the cold or the heat.
Luo Wenge opened the door and walked into the room: "Come in, you all know I'm sleeping, and I'm still waiting outside the door."
"Isn't this afraid that the young master will want to know the news when he wakes up?" Jiang Lin shook the snow off his body and stomped his feet before following him in.
Luo Wenge made Jiang Lin's temper ache, and he sighed: "Come in and have a cup of hot tea first, and then talk about the news you found."
Jiang Lin took the tea from him and said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord."
Luo Wenge took a teacup and sipped tea slowly: "You're welcome."
Jiang Lin drank quickly, put down the teacup and said, "Han Hufa has been chasing that person for several days, and finally found some traces. The owner of that person is King Chun who came to Beijing."
That is to say, King Chun knows that he is the owner of Linjiang Building?
This is a bit difficult to deal with, he pondered slightly: "See if we can get something useful out of it, if not, just deal with the person directly, and it will expose more if it drags on."
Jiang Lin wrote it down, and said: "There is no abnormality in Xu Jinyuan's side, but there is movement in Xu Yingping's side. Last night, I found that he went to a small courtyard. According to the investigation, the small courtyard lived in the same place where I fought with us on the street that day. Xinjiang people."
A very useful piece of news that made Xu Yingping anxious to find someone from Beijiang, because what he did in the past two days threatened him.
Not knowing what kind of deal Xu Yingping made with the people from Beijiang, he felt a chill down his spine for no reason, feeling like he was being targeted.
"What else?" he asked.
Jiang Lin took the second cup of tea, and drank it slowly this time: "Shen Jue's actions are not small, and all the civil and military officials may be present tonight to prevent Xu Yingping from coming to the stage."
It shouldn't just be that he can't get off the stage, if he can, Shen Jue probably wants to get rid of Xu Yingping directly.
Before he was able to capture Qu Jing, he didn't want Xu Yingping to be killed by Shen Jue, so that no one could restrict Shen's party, which would be unfavorable for Xiao Yulan to check and balance the previous court.
"Are you sure that the most important evidence in Shen Jue's hand is sister Cui's testimony?" Luo Wenge asked.
Jiang Lin also asked Han Hufa about it, and after following him for a few days, he naturally knew what he cared about, and replied: "Yes, he used all the evidence he got from the Metropolitan Procuratorate before, and he couldn't impeach him at that time. Xu Yingping, probably knows what His Majesty is thinking, and only then did he think of taking important evidence, and in front of so many officials, directly expose Xu Yingping's crimes, so His Majesty has no choice but to take action."
It was rare for Luo Wenge to hear Jiang Lin say so much, so he took a second look: "Well, go and pack up and change your clothes, it's time to enter the palace."
Jiang Lin put down the teacup: "I'll go right away."
Judging from the news brought by Jiang Lin, Shen Jue is absolutely going to put Xu Yingping to death. With the intuition of his old opponent for many years, it is impossible for Xu Yingping to be unaware. It turned into a game between two old foxes, Luo Wenge was a little bit looking forward to it, maybe because what Xu Yingping said could help him find more ways to catch Shen Jue.
Thinking of this, Luo Wenge couldn't sit still, and wanted to enter the palace sooner.
At this time, Luo Rong came in holding a plate, which was carefully covered with emerald green brocade cloth, and there was a thin layer of snow along the way.
"My lord, the clothes for the banquet are ready."
Luo Wenge took a look: "Leave it alone, I'll change it later."
Luo Rong put it down: "I'm going to get someone to prepare the carriage. It's getting late. You should start early. It's snowing heavily today, and it's cold and slippery. Slow down."
"Well, let's go." Luo Wenge said.
When Luo Wenge changed his clothes again and drove Jiang Lin and Luo An to the gate of the palace, it was completely dark.
The carriages of the officials of various ministries were all parked outside the palace, and the long road to the Hall of Peace was to be walked on foot. Not long after Luo Wenge got off the car, he heard a familiar call from behind: "Luo Shaoqing, wait for us."
Luo Wenge half turned around and looked not far away, while Murong Yu ignored Xie Wenxuan's umbrella and kept running towards him.
Seeing that Xie Wenxuan's face turned green, he couldn't help but frowned, the two were happy enemies.
"Luo Shaoqing is also stuck?" Murong Yu took the umbrella from Luo An's hand, opened it by himself, and walked forward with him, completely ignoring Xie Wenxuan who came late.
Luo Wenge turned around and greeted Xie Wenxuan, then turned to answer Murong Yu: "No, I just went out late."
"You were right for not going earlier." Murong Yu said, looking at this expression, there was gossip again.
Luo Wenge silently gave way to Xie Wenxuan, and asked someone to stand between him and Murong Yu, tilting his head halfway: "What?"
"I know you definitely don't know." Murong Yu laughed, wanting to get closer to him, but found Xie Wenxuan in the middle, frowning dissatisfied, "Rang Rang, if you don't listen to the rumors, you can't stop me from talking to Lord Luo."
Luo Wenge just watched Xie Wenxuan go over there with a dark face, and let Murong Yu come to his side, he couldn't help not laughing.
Murong Yu pretended not to know, and spoke to him in a very low voice: "Today's new rumor is that the person in Xuanyi Hall was so arrogant that he asked the maid to say that he was unwell, but refused to tell the imperial doctor, insisting on going to his Majesty, and it turned out that His Majesty I took the envoy with me and found nothing wrong, which made His Majesty so angry that he punished the person in Xuanyi Hall to eat fast and pray to Buddha for two months, and people say that His Majesty is insinuating that he is letting that monk become a nun."
Luo Wenge was surprised: "Really?"
Murong Yu raised his lips and smiled: "Then it's still possible to cheat? Based on what I know about His Majesty, that's what it means. Concubine Shen Gui can also do it. Don't you know why she can serve the bed? She is no match for the Queen, The empress can be enduring in favor, presumably beauty and talent can coexist, and besides, His Majesty favors her, so there is no need to worry about having an heir, it is well known that the empress is weak."
The fake empress Luo Wenge felt embarrassed when she heard the words. She wanted to speak but felt embarrassed, so she just kept her mouth shut.
Xie Wenxuan, who was aware of the matter over there, didn't notice, and pulled Murong Yu to rescue him.
Murong Yu turned his head and scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
"Teacher's instruction." Xie Wenxuan said in a very soft voice.
Mentioning Yang Taiqing, Murong Yu looked solemn for a moment, then reacted, and stabbed Xie Wenxuan's elbow: "The teacher said that you can't talk about the right and wrong of the royal family, and you can't talk about rumors."
Xie Wenxuan wanted to ask, what is the difference between the two?He was also afraid that it would make people unhappy if he asked, so he put on a face for several days, but turned away helplessly.
In order to prevent Murong Yu from bringing up this embarrassing topic again, Luo Wenge whispered other things, and Murong Yu understood immediately.
A group of people talked and laughed and entered the Hall of Peace.
There were far more officials in the hall than expected. Luo Wenge's three seats were arranged in the middle of the hall, Murong Yu was next to him and Xie Wenxuan, and he was in front.
Luo Wenge sat down and raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Wen Tianzhong sitting across from him, who seemed to have not seen him for a few days, who nodded slightly at him, and he smiled back.
Seeing this, Murong Yu next to him turned his face and looked at Xie Wenxuan, both of them saw something different.
After half a cup of tea, the hall was filled one after another, and finally Shen Jue and Xu Yingping took their seats slowly, followed by the feudal lords who seemed to be living in harmony.
Shen and Xu were still on the two sides closest to Xiao Yulan, looking at each other across the aisle, the seats of the vassal kings over there were the same as the reception banquet that day, and the hall was full, waiting for Xiao Yulan to bring the Queen and Shen Ruqing to arrive.
Xiao Yulan came very quickly, she changed her previous posture of walking alone, this time she came in while supporting the queen's arm.
As soon as the emperor came, all civil and military officials bowed down and shouted loudly: "May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity, and the queen is auspicious."
Xiao Yulan asked the queen to sit down first, and said casually: "Excuse me, sit down, this is a banquet, so there is no need to be formal."
The people in the hall were grateful one after another and sat down safely.
Xiao Yulan fiddled with the empty wine cup, looked at Shen Jue and frowned slightly, Li
He Luo Wenge didn't know how to fight back. Hearing this, he turned around calmly and pointed at the brocade quilt between the two of them: "Come on, Your Majesty can share the quilt with me if you can."
Xiao Yulan looked at him indifferently: "You said it, don't say I'm playing a hooligan later."
Luo Wenge didn't speak, just pushed the Jin quilt slightly away, it was very clear what he meant.
Xiao Yulan wasn't a coward either, she threw away her quilt immediately and got into his quilt.
Throughout the ages, others have been under the emperor's bed, and there are very few emperors who take the initiative to get under the bed of others. It is very rare to see him tonight.
Luo Wenge felt that there was a warm wall against his back, and there was naturally a strong arm around his waist that imprisoned him. Xiao Yulan pressed her chin on top of his head, and sighed in satisfaction: "Luo Shaoqing, how warm is the temperature in my arms?" satisfy?"
Luo Wenge groped for Xiao Yulan's hand, clasped his fingers together, closed his eyes and lazily said: "Satisfied, Your Majesty is the best."
Xiao Yulan smiled lowly: "Well, it would be better to say this elsewhere."
Luo Wenge hummed softly, and didn't answer the yellow accent, feeling drowsy gradually welling up, he held Xiao Yulan's hand tightly, and fell asleep just like that.
Xiao Yulan noticed that he was soundly asleep, so she pulled him into her arms and closed her eyes.
In the same Changle City, different atmospheres and different people will naturally have different things happen.
A few streets away from Luo Mansion, there is a courtyard at the far west corner of Xuanwu Street, at the entrance of the courtyard stood two men in black cloaks covering their faces, one of them, under the instruction of the other, knocked on the courtyard door, The courtyard door opened in response to the sound, it should have been contacted in advance and was specially waiting here.
The door was opened with a small gap, and the person who opened the door hid behind the door with only half of his face exposed. He was very vigilant, and when he saw the knocker, he immediately turned sideways silently and let people in.
The two men in black also moved very quickly. They entered the courtyard in the blink of an eye, and the courtyard door was quickly closed again.
The moonlight was not bright enough to illuminate the scene in the courtyard, and three figures could be vaguely seen shuttling among the mottled shadows of the trees.
The guide did not say a word, and the two who came in also remained silent. The three of them seemed to be dumb and quickly reached the east wing of the courtyard.
The passer-by opened the door and stood aside spontaneously, and closed the door after the two of them entered, without any intention of entering the room.
"General Xu came late at night, do you have something important to discuss?"
Hearing his voice before seeing him, the two covered by cloaks were silent, and after a while, one of them took off his hat, revealing a resolute face, it was the majestic and majestic Zhenbei General Xu Yingping in the court.
Xu Yingping looked at the tall screen, and said calmly: "If the old man doesn't come here again, Mr. Yuan will forget who helped the royal family earn money."
"Hey, what did General Xu say? I forget that no one will forget you. The royal family can live a life full of food and clothing these years. It is thanks to your hard work. This time I came here from a long distance. Follow the emperor's will to visit the general." Mr. Yuan said again, at this time a tall and tall figure appeared behind the screen.
Xu Yingping didn't like this, and said coldly: "I've been talking for a long time, Mr. Yuan doesn't want to show his true face, is it because he looks down on this old man?"
"The general is really short-tempered. I have just bathed and changed clothes. I would be too rude to meet guests without dressing neatly. Besides, the general is a partner that the monarch values very much. If I despise him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the monarch?" Wearing a belt, he walked out from behind the screen. This person has deep eyebrows, high cheekbones, and an unpleasant aura all over his body. His expression is peaceful.
Xu Yingping watched Mr. Yuan come to the table, and stretched out his hand to signal him: "General, come and sit here, and taste the snow tea I brought from northern Xinjiang. This is a special reward from the monarch when he heard that I was coming to see the general. In this way, it shows the importance to the general."
Xu Yingping walked over and sat down with a straight face: "Young Master Yuan, don't just say nice things to fool the old man. I don't have any other intentions to come here. I just want to ask, when will your lord plan to attack the border?"
Mr. Yuan poured tea for the two of them, and said with a polite smile: "It depends on whether the general can create chaos in the city. As long as Xiao Yulan can't spare the time to control the border, then it will be the day when our northern Xinjiang warriors go out to fight. Besides, Only when the general takes action, can there be a legitimate reason to transfer Mr. Xu back, do you think this is the reason?"
In the end, I still want him to do it first. Isn't it obvious that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?
Xu Yingping understood the deep meaning in it, and her heart was cold and cold. The good cooperation for many years was over, and the royal family of Northern Xinjiang was not human!
Xu Yingping held her breath. If she didn't know that her son was living an inhuman life in the border and would suffer various assassinations, Xu Yingping would not have agreed to cooperate with them.
This cooperation has lasted for six years, and the white-eyed wolf has not been cooked for six years. Now that I want to ask the other party for a favor, it is still vague, what is it? !
The more Xu Yingping thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't drink the tea anymore, so she leaned forward and said, "Master Yuan should keep this tea for himself, I don't have such a good fortune, so I leave."
Mr. Yuan's eyes turned slightly, and he changed his attitude: "Hey, hey, don't go, general, everything is easy to discuss, you have to speak clearly so that I can convey it to the monarch, our relationship is so good, how can we just say a few words? If you don't say it, you will turn your face."
Xu Yingping's face was as cold as ice, and his tone was angry: "What else is there to say? You don't know what the old man wants? Push left and right, but you don't want to help!"
It can be seen that he is really angry. Combined with the news he got in Beijing in the past few days, Mr. Yuan can easily figure out the reason why he is so irritable. It will be achieved soon, just wait patiently for another two days.”
Xu Yingping's expression turned sour, and he didn't hear anything useful after listening for a long time. He said, "Wait two more days, and you should add new soil to my grave. Do you know that Sanfasi has been following me recently, like a dog's skin plaster?" Yes, I can't even get rid of it, especially the presiding judge Luo Wenge, it's nothing more than a clear mind and ruthless methods, I think I will die in his hands sooner or later!"
Young Master Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly gave him advice: "The general knows who is the most threatening to you, why didn't you take any action?"
Xu Yingping's eyes changed slightly, which meant that he wanted to attack Luo Wenge.
In fact, when Luo Wenge personally went to Taohuawan to investigate the case, Xu Yingping also had this idea, which made people disappear without anyone noticing. There are so many killers in Tianming Pavilion, even if they are found out afterwards, they can just find someone to take the blame , once and for all.
Just when Xu Yingping was about to make a move, he received the shocking news that it was not his daughter who stayed in the harem for the next few months, but Luo Wenge.
If the queen was really Luo Wenge, things would be completely different, and Xiao Yulan's attitude would be even more confused.
Before this, he always thought that Xu Jinyuan was in the palace and loved by Xiao Yulan every day.
Afterwards, he saw Xu Jinyuan who was driven like a street mouse, and it was useless to beat and scold him. All he could do was protect his daughter and clean up the mess.
Xu Yingping really felt that the passing of time was unfavorable, so she finally made preparations and had a chance to take Xu Shaoyan in front of her and take care of her, but Xu Jinyuan disturbed her.
Sometimes, Xu Yingping felt that Xu Jinyuan owed a wronged debt.
However, Xu Yingping couldn't explain all these to Mr. Yuan Daoming, feeling very tired and said: "No."
"Why not?" Young Master Yuan pushed the teacup over again, this time Xu Yingping did not refuse again, Young Master Yuan smiled evilly when he saw this, "Is it because you can't touch him, or is it because he made you dare not move?"
No matter what the reason is, it seems that he, the general, has done nothing majestic.
Xu Yingping didn't want to save face, and directly admitted: "I can't."
"You can't do it, leave it to me." Mr. Yuan said with a smile.
Xu Yingping resisted the urge to speak, and continued to say for a long time: "You have to be careful, he is not an ordinary person."
Of course, Mr. Yuan knew that Luo Wenge was not an ordinary person, how could someone who dared to snatch someone from him be ordinary?
Young Master Yuan sipped his tea and said in a soft voice, "How do you think he died to be decent?"
Xu Yingping didn't want to discuss Luo Wenge's method of death, so he said briefly: "If you die as much as possible, you must see the corpse."
Young Master Yuan added some tea to Xu Yingping: "I will handle the matter, the general can rest assured, I will let him die very reasonably."
Xu Yingping was upset, he didn't even know the taste of the snow tea he drank, and said: "Young Master Yuan said that as long as my side does something in Changle City, the royal family will lend a helping hand?"
Mr. Yuan nodded, and said in affirmative tone: "Yes, the Ning Dynasty seized many territories in our northern border. The monarch had the intention of attacking earlier, but he didn't find a good time. It's also thanks to the general who was willing to be a pawn. , Whatever the general wants, the royal family will try their best to satisfy."
This is really a shameless statement, Xu Yingping showed sarcasm, and only Mr. Yuan could say that whether Beijiang coveted Ning Dynasty's vast land and rich resources, or Ning Dynasty was the first to succeed in Beijiang, the world knew very well.
Xu Yingping didn't argue with him on this kind of matter, pushed away the teacup and got up: "Let the old man go back and think about it, and Luo Wenge over there will be handled by the young master."
"Well, it's good for the general to wait for the good news." Young Master Yuan said cheerfully.
Xu Yingping nodded indiscriminately, put on her cloak and left with her men.
Jibuha, who was guarding the door, came in with a bow and said softly, "He is very anxious."
Mr. Yuan raised his head and finished drinking the tea in the cup, and when he put down the teacup, he exerted a little force: "Of course he is anxious. He once took advantage of the emperor's young age to do a foolish thing and was found out with a stroke of a pen. It was enough to punish the nine clans. Anyone would be anxious, let alone He also colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, if we really want to find conclusive evidence, the nine clans are not enough to punish him."
"Then we really want to help him kill Luo Wenge?" Jibuha asked hesitantly.
Mr. Yuan thought of the prosperous face that he caught a glimpse of that day, and his smile turned cold: "Of course I will kill him. With him around, it will be much more difficult for the monarch to lead the Ning Dynasty. Killing him can be considered as clearing the obstacles for the monarch in advance. It is a good thing." , you go out tomorrow to find out the news and figure out his daily routine, let's find a chance to do him, so that Xu Yingping won't give up his life by chirping and quacking."
Jibuha said he knew, Yuan Gongzi threw the remaining snow tea bag into Jibuha's arms: "Take it and drink."
Jibuha picked up the tea bag and sniffed it: "Is this the tea I bought on the street a few days ago?"
Mr. Yuan stretched his waist, and said slowly: "What is he, Xu Yingping, who deserves to drink snow tea? He also deserves this old tea with a big bag of broken silver."
Ji Buha wrinkled his nose, full of disgust, when Mr. Yuan saw it, he burst out laughing.
Leaving the yard and walking against the wall, the master and servant were relatively speechless. It wasn't until they returned to the Zhenbei General's Mansion that the accompanying butler said, "Master, I don't think that Mr. Yuan seems to be doing what he says."
Xu Yingping drank hot tea to drive away the cold, with a cold expression: "I know, so I'm waiting for him to attack Luo Wenge."
"If he really wants to do it, the master will do it?" the butler asked.
Xu Yingping was silent for a moment, and answered the question: "Is there any news about your son these days?"
"Yes, the young master said that everything is going well for him and there is no serious problem. Let the master pay more attention to his body, don't work too hard, and ask his sister to be well." The housekeeper repeated Xu Shaoyan's letter verbatim.
Xu Yingping's expression was much softer, and she felt warm for Xu Shaoyan's filial piety, so she didn't take this risk for him in vain.
"Go and inquire about Xu Yan's news again. I want to know if he has said anything in the past two days. I don't want to hear any unfavorable remarks at the banquet tomorrow."
"Yes." The butler replied.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was gloomy, dark clouds covered the city, and there was no bright light. The sunny day finally changed on New Year's Eve.
Luo Wenge was attacked by the cold wind, so he couldn't help but wear two more clothes, which made him fatter. With candied fruit in his mouth to suppress the bitter taste, he led Luo An to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Jiang Lin had to go to Deji Hall today. So he didn't follow.
Luo An shrank his neck and complained in a low voice: "This is the day, the young master still refuses to cultivate at home and insists on running outside. When will he be able to recover his health?"
"According to what you mean, I have to sleep, eat and drink in bed, and live like a piggy with no ideals." Luo Wenge asked.
Luo An smiled and said: "No, son, you are so good-looking, how can you look like a pig?"
"Why did I go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you don't have a clue?" Luo Wenge glanced at Luo An out of the corner of his eye.
Of course Luo An knew that Qu Jing followed Xie Wenxuan's orders back then, no one knew better than him how cunning this man was.
For Luo Wenge and Qu Jing to face each other, it took a lot of effort.
Luo An knew that he liked to do things by himself, but he had to be physically able to bear it. Thinking of Luo Rong's words last night, Luo An felt that Luo Wenge had really changed, like a loyal minister serving the emperor.
"Here we are." Luo Wenge looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate not far away, his expression slightly restrained.
Luo An put away a basket of words, kept quiet and entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Today Luo Wenge deliberately came one step earlier, before Xie Wenxuan and Murong Yu left the palace, to meet Qu Jing who was used to coming early.
The moment Luo Wenge entered the room, as he wished, he saw the back of Qu Jing standing in the pile of documents, and the other party was tidying up.
He fine-tuned his expression and showed a little surprise: "Qudu?"
Qu Jing paused slightly, half turned around and bowed in salute: "Morning Luo Shaoqing."
"Morning, I didn't expect someone to be earlier than me. Qudu is really dedicated to his duties. This kind of spirit makes me feel inferior." Luo Wenge said ashamedly.
Qu Jing was a little nervous after being praised, he didn't know where to put his hands, and his demeanor was reserved: "It's a habit. I have developed a habit over the years. If I don't come early every day, I feel itchy."
Luo Wenge pursed his lips and said with a smile: "This is a good habit. Then come so early every day, Qudu will sort out the paperwork?"
Qu Jing's eyes were calm, and he replied very calmly: "That's not true, I am responsible for the affairs of my duty every day, and I will not interfere in other people's affairs."
Luo Wenge nodded while turning to look at the things Qu Jing had sorted out. He raised his eyes: "If everyone has the self-awareness of Qu Du's affairs, the case will be handled much faster."
"Lord Luo praises it absurdly. This is a personal habit of a subordinate official, and we can't ask everyone to do the same." Qu Jing said neither humble nor overbearing.
After Luo Wenge played two hahas, he found that Qu Jing was as rigorous as ever, and if the chat continued like this, he wouldn't be able to ask anything.
"I don't know if Qu Dushi heard what happened in the cell yesterday." Luo Wenge said as if chatting.
Qu Jing didn't know, and shook his head: "I don't know."
"That's true. I want you to know that Xie Wenxuan's position may not be stable. To be honest, after I found out yesterday, I wondered how he could be the censor of Zuodu with his ability? Let me tell you about this position." , it’s more appropriate for Qudu to do things.” Luo Wenge made a small fuss, waiting to see how Qu Jing would answer.
Qu Jing was terrified, and said in a panic: "My lord, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xie's ability is beyond the capabilities of the lower senses."
"But what happened under his supervision is really because he didn't take good care of him. It's just an excuse to say that he was taking advantage of someone's danger. In the final analysis, it's because of his lack of ability." Luo Wenge pretended to be very angry, and his tone was resentful Get up, "If you want to do things in Qudu, I think that such a tragedy will never happen. When the case in Taohuawan is closed, I will ask His Majesty to play Qudu and let Qudu go to Dali Temple. Qudu will definitely be on the rise by then. "
Qu Jing was slightly shocked, he didn't understand whether his words were true or not, so he hastily rejected: "That won't work, how dare you bother Master Luo."
Luo Wenge patted Qu Jing on the shoulder several times, and said earnestly, "Don't bother me. It's my wish to have someone as capable as Qu Du Shi help me. Qu Du Shi also knows that some time ago, Dali Temple made His Majesty clear it up with an imperial decree." It’s empty, the people who take office now are a group of so-called high-ranking and poor scholars who don’t know what to say, they write poems and songs and Fu, how can they be used for investigation.”
Qu Jing was unmoved, instead of playing a role in Dali Temple, it would be better to do better in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and declined again: "My lord is joking, since he can be nominated by His Majesty to enter Dali Temple, he is not a stupid person. It must be unfamiliar, just check it a few times."
He is really a reckless person. After talking so much, he didn't show any flaws.
Luo Wenge narrowed his eyes, and wanted to make persistent efforts, but when he saw Xie Wenxuan and Murong Yu coming together, he had to give up.
"It's auspicious to borrow songs, I hope so."
Xie Wenxuan and Murong Yu tried their best to delay coming over, exchanged glances with Luo Wenge when they entered the door, and understood the meaning of failure, the two had already expected it.
Qu Jing has been hiding in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for all these years, how could he make a fool out of him so easily?
To deal with this kind of person, he had to throw the evidence all over his face and interrogate him simply and roughly, leaving him speechless.
Murong Yu has been working hard to collect evidence, to see if he can catch Qu Jing's fox tail, Xie Wenxuan's performance is very flat, not letting others see the clues.
Because it was New Year's Eve and they were going to the palace to enjoy a banquet, they left early so that the officials would have time to go home and prepare, so that their faces would not be dirty and the emperor's eyes would be dirty.
Just after lunch, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate left one after another, and Luo Wenge went to see Xu Yan before leaving.
Today Xu Yan was still as unkempt as he was, seeing him with a numb face, not saying anything, just pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Luo Wenge was also very straightforward: "I'll ask someone to bring you some delicious food later on. It's too inhumane to eat food mixed with Shenxian pills on New Year's Eve."
Xu Yan suddenly raised his head, looked at him with hatred, and said fiercely: "You don't need to be a good person!"
"I'm just telling the truth, you don't need to get too excited. In a few days, you won't be able to eat good food even if you want to, so cherish it." Luo Wenge dropped these words and left without looking back.
Xu Yan clasped his hands on the pillar of the cell, watching him disappearing into the depths of the backlight, feeling uneasy suddenly, what did he mean by that? !
Luo Wenge successfully laid the groundwork for Xu Yan, and went home in a happy mood, planning to change into his clothes and then take a nap. When Jiang Lin came back, he would almost be able to enter the palace.
He planned well, returned to the room after using the decoction, and found that there were many people in the room.
He looked at the person lying on the bed majestically, and at the time in the courtyard, he really felt that it was the clearest decision to ask Xiao Yulan to change the entrance of the secret passage to the room.
"Why is Your Majesty here now?" He closed the door and walked towards the bed.
Xiao Yulan looked at him with half-opened eyes, and said lazily, "I want to come over and see what you have prepared."
"How else can I prepare?" Luo Wenge asked, "What does His Majesty want me to prepare?"
"Get ready and wait for Zhen to pick you up." Xiao Yulan said with a smile.
Luo Wenge smiled: "Your Majesty is not going to hide it?"
Xiao Yulan frowned, thinking of Xu Yingping first and then Shen Jue, she said angrily: "Sooner or later, I will tell them to go away."
Luo Wenge looked at Xiao Yulan: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty has the talent to be a foolish emperor. If it's true, no matter whether it's indiscriminate or indiscriminate, the officials will be able to curse outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for three days and three nights, right?"
Xiao Yulan snorted and said, "Let them scold, and in the end they will find that it is because of you that I let people go out. I wonder if Luo Shaoqing will still be as complacent as she is now."
"My reputation in Changle City is mediocre now, and no matter how much the officials scold me, I can't say anything."
"Speaking of your reputation, I wonder if I should ask Xie Wenxuan to clarify it for you." Xiao Yulan said, thinking of Shen Jue's words yesterday, it was inexplicably harsh.
Luo Wenge untied his belt, pushed Xiao Yulan, and asked people to move inside: "For the time being, there is no need, the matter has not been clarified yet, and His Majesty's identity must continue to be kept secret. This has to be explained for no reason. It really gives Xu Yingping and Shen Jue a chance. It is completely unnecessary to complicate something that is clearly successful in one fell swoop."
He said it's not necessary, so it's not necessary.
Xiao Yulan moved inside while shaking off the brocade quilt, and spread it beside him: "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you at the banquet, so you have to be more careful, don't look at them pretending to be important ministers, I don't know what kind of dirty thoughts they have in their hearts. How much cleaner are they than those seemingly dirty people. Especially King Yun and Wen Tianzhong, these two people are not pure in their minds. King Yun has been making small moves recently. Best chance."
Xiao Yulan explained a lot in one breath, Luo Wenge's eyes fell on the outer robe that the other party was still wearing: "Didn't Your Majesty come to accompany me to take a nap?"
What Xiao Yulan wanted to say stuck in her throat, her eyes flickered and she coughed softly: "What, I have to go to Xuanyi Hall later."
Luo Wenge quickly took off his outer robe, rolled into the brocade quilt: "What are you doing?"
"I don't know where Eunuch Li heard the news this morning, saying that Shen Ruqing was unwell, and she was losing her temper and refused to let the imperial doctor take a pulse. Let me pay more attention. What he meant was that all the acting should be done in full. past."
"Then you went over?" Luo Wenge asked calmly, "Didn't you see that our brave and mighty emperor is so obedient?"
Xiao Yulan, as a leader who has been jealous countless times in those years, is quite keen to taste the sourness in his words, pulling the corner of the quilt, lying on a reclining cheek and teasing: "No, I am usually a very assertive person. People don't like to listen to other people's opinions, but I must listen to someone's words."
Luo Wenge looked sideways at Xiao Yulan with no expression on his face, pursed his lips lightly and didn't intend to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yulan said to herself: "That is a virtuous wife. In the history books, there was an emperor who was afraid of Zitong, and it can be regarded as a good story. I am not afraid of others making fun of me, but I am afraid that someone will be jealous and ignore him."
"Who is jealous, who ignores people?" Luo Wenge asked.
Xiao Yulan suppressed a smile: "Whoever answers the conversation is the one."
Luo Wenge was not annoyed either, and asked instead: "Then when His Majesty is angry, does he ignore people?"
This really caught Xiao Yulan's question, and he remembered that he had been jealous several times, and he himself ignored people, so Xiao Yulan rubbed the tip of his nose embarrassingly.
Luo Wenge pulled back the corner of the quilt, yawned and chased away: "Your Majesty, hurry up to Xuanyi Hall, I'm going to take a nap."
"Tell me first, are you jealous?" Xiao Yulan persevered, and wanted to pull the corner of the quilt, but was grabbed and slapped the back of her hand.
"No, I think His Majesty will take the court envoys to Xuanyi Hall to make sure of something?" Luo Wenge saw that the back of Xiao Yulan's retracted hand was red, and thought to himself, did he hit someone too hard just now?
Xiao Yulan put her hand on his pillow honestly, and muttered in a low voice: "Well, I think it's necessary to confirm it again, lest she make false claims and say it belongs to me."
The more Luo Wenge looked at the red mark on the back of Xiao Yulan's hand, the more regretful he felt. He put his hand on the back of the other's hand and rubbed it lightly: "I know you're doing business, or is it that I'm just jealous in His Majesty's heart?"
Xiao Yulan squinted her eyes to enjoy him touching her, and dragged her tone: "Sometimes you are more jealous, to me, it is a sign of caring, and I will be very happy."
This kind of explanation inevitably reminded Luo Wenge of the way someone was jealous a few times before, and he immediately understood it. He smiled and said, "Then I will try my best in the future."
Xiao Yulan also laughed: "You don't have to embarrass yourself, I know exactly what kind of temper you have."
Luo Wenge thinks this kind of feeling is really good. You don't need to say anything too clearly, the other person can understand it with just one look. I really don't know how Xiao Yulan has practiced such special skills, as if he can understand his inner activities.
"Is Your Majesty still leaving?" he asked.
Xiao Yulan took his hand, pressed it against her cheek, and fondled it affectionately: "I'll leave when you fall asleep."
This meant to supervise his sleep, Luo Wenge said helplessly, "Your Majesty is worried that I won't sleep?"
"No." Xiao Yulan said, "It's to give me more opportunities to watch you secretly."
Xiao Yulan was the only one who could say these kind of obscene words. Luo Wenge's expression was a little flustered, but his heart felt sweet at the first moment.
He didn't know how to answer, and Xiao Yulan's hand covered his eyes by surprise, and the other party coaxed him softly in a low voice: "Sleep well, be obedient, the banquet is over tonight, I will give you whatever you want."
Luo Wenge's lips curled up slightly, and if he really wanted something, he would give it. Xiao Yulan's sincerity gave too much, and it weighed down his heart, wanting to give something back.
How about giving back?
He racked his brains to think, thinking that the Sea of Consciousness became drowsy in the end, sleepiness followed one after another, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Luo Wenge woke up again, the outside of the window was illuminated by snow, piercing through the thin window paper, and the inside of the room was also illuminated as if it were daytime, so he couldn't tell what time it was for a moment.
The room was warm, and there was still a faint scent of ambergris beside the pillow. The lingering warmth was no longer there, and Xiao Yulan had been away for a while.
After Luo Wenge put on his outer robe, he noticed that it was brighter than before. When he opened the window, he saw that the ground was covered with white snow. Changle City ushered in the third heavy snow this year, and the flakes of goose feathers were much bigger than the previous two.
It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and I hope it is true, so that the Ning Dynasty can have a smooth year in the coming year.
Less than an hour after the window was opened, snow drifted into the room and disappeared into the air before it hit the ground. The temperature in the room was too high. Luo Wenge closed the window, shook off the fox fur and put it on. When he opened the door, he saw that he was hiding under the porch, with half of his body covered with snow. Xue's Jiang Lin rubbed the space between his eyebrows: "Why didn't you knock on the door when you came?"
"Uncle Rong said that the young master is taking a nap, so I don't want to disturb you." Jiang Lin's expression remained the same. His martial arts skills also had the advantage of not being afraid of the cold or the heat.
Luo Wenge opened the door and walked into the room: "Come in, you all know I'm sleeping, and I'm still waiting outside the door."
"Isn't this afraid that the young master will want to know the news when he wakes up?" Jiang Lin shook the snow off his body and stomped his feet before following him in.
Luo Wenge made Jiang Lin's temper ache, and he sighed: "Come in and have a cup of hot tea first, and then talk about the news you found."
Jiang Lin took the tea from him and said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord."
Luo Wenge took a teacup and sipped tea slowly: "You're welcome."
Jiang Lin drank quickly, put down the teacup and said, "Han Hufa has been chasing that person for several days, and finally found some traces. The owner of that person is King Chun who came to Beijing."
That is to say, King Chun knows that he is the owner of Linjiang Building?
This is a bit difficult to deal with, he pondered slightly: "See if we can get something useful out of it, if not, just deal with the person directly, and it will expose more if it drags on."
Jiang Lin wrote it down, and said: "There is no abnormality in Xu Jinyuan's side, but there is movement in Xu Yingping's side. Last night, I found that he went to a small courtyard. According to the investigation, the small courtyard lived in the same place where I fought with us on the street that day. Xinjiang people."
A very useful piece of news that made Xu Yingping anxious to find someone from Beijiang, because what he did in the past two days threatened him.
Not knowing what kind of deal Xu Yingping made with the people from Beijiang, he felt a chill down his spine for no reason, feeling like he was being targeted.
"What else?" he asked.
Jiang Lin took the second cup of tea, and drank it slowly this time: "Shen Jue's actions are not small, and all the civil and military officials may be present tonight to prevent Xu Yingping from coming to the stage."
It shouldn't just be that he can't get off the stage, if he can, Shen Jue probably wants to get rid of Xu Yingping directly.
Before he was able to capture Qu Jing, he didn't want Xu Yingping to be killed by Shen Jue, so that no one could restrict Shen's party, which would be unfavorable for Xiao Yulan to check and balance the previous court.
"Are you sure that the most important evidence in Shen Jue's hand is sister Cui's testimony?" Luo Wenge asked.
Jiang Lin also asked Han Hufa about it, and after following him for a few days, he naturally knew what he cared about, and replied: "Yes, he used all the evidence he got from the Metropolitan Procuratorate before, and he couldn't impeach him at that time. Xu Yingping, probably knows what His Majesty is thinking, and only then did he think of taking important evidence, and in front of so many officials, directly expose Xu Yingping's crimes, so His Majesty has no choice but to take action."
It was rare for Luo Wenge to hear Jiang Lin say so much, so he took a second look: "Well, go and pack up and change your clothes, it's time to enter the palace."
Jiang Lin put down the teacup: "I'll go right away."
Judging from the news brought by Jiang Lin, Shen Jue is absolutely going to put Xu Yingping to death. With the intuition of his old opponent for many years, it is impossible for Xu Yingping to be unaware. It turned into a game between two old foxes, Luo Wenge was a little bit looking forward to it, maybe because what Xu Yingping said could help him find more ways to catch Shen Jue.
Thinking of this, Luo Wenge couldn't sit still, and wanted to enter the palace sooner.
At this time, Luo Rong came in holding a plate, which was carefully covered with emerald green brocade cloth, and there was a thin layer of snow along the way.
"My lord, the clothes for the banquet are ready."
Luo Wenge took a look: "Leave it alone, I'll change it later."
Luo Rong put it down: "I'm going to get someone to prepare the carriage. It's getting late. You should start early. It's snowing heavily today, and it's cold and slippery. Slow down."
"Well, let's go." Luo Wenge said.
When Luo Wenge changed his clothes again and drove Jiang Lin and Luo An to the gate of the palace, it was completely dark.
The carriages of the officials of various ministries were all parked outside the palace, and the long road to the Hall of Peace was to be walked on foot. Not long after Luo Wenge got off the car, he heard a familiar call from behind: "Luo Shaoqing, wait for us."
Luo Wenge half turned around and looked not far away, while Murong Yu ignored Xie Wenxuan's umbrella and kept running towards him.
Seeing that Xie Wenxuan's face turned green, he couldn't help but frowned, the two were happy enemies.
"Luo Shaoqing is also stuck?" Murong Yu took the umbrella from Luo An's hand, opened it by himself, and walked forward with him, completely ignoring Xie Wenxuan who came late.
Luo Wenge turned around and greeted Xie Wenxuan, then turned to answer Murong Yu: "No, I just went out late."
"You were right for not going earlier." Murong Yu said, looking at this expression, there was gossip again.
Luo Wenge silently gave way to Xie Wenxuan, and asked someone to stand between him and Murong Yu, tilting his head halfway: "What?"
"I know you definitely don't know." Murong Yu laughed, wanting to get closer to him, but found Xie Wenxuan in the middle, frowning dissatisfied, "Rang Rang, if you don't listen to the rumors, you can't stop me from talking to Lord Luo."
Luo Wenge just watched Xie Wenxuan go over there with a dark face, and let Murong Yu come to his side, he couldn't help not laughing.
Murong Yu pretended not to know, and spoke to him in a very low voice: "Today's new rumor is that the person in Xuanyi Hall was so arrogant that he asked the maid to say that he was unwell, but refused to tell the imperial doctor, insisting on going to his Majesty, and it turned out that His Majesty I took the envoy with me and found nothing wrong, which made His Majesty so angry that he punished the person in Xuanyi Hall to eat fast and pray to Buddha for two months, and people say that His Majesty is insinuating that he is letting that monk become a nun."
Luo Wenge was surprised: "Really?"
Murong Yu raised his lips and smiled: "Then it's still possible to cheat? Based on what I know about His Majesty, that's what it means. Concubine Shen Gui can also do it. Don't you know why she can serve the bed? She is no match for the Queen, The empress can be enduring in favor, presumably beauty and talent can coexist, and besides, His Majesty favors her, so there is no need to worry about having an heir, it is well known that the empress is weak."
The fake empress Luo Wenge felt embarrassed when she heard the words. She wanted to speak but felt embarrassed, so she just kept her mouth shut.
Xie Wenxuan, who was aware of the matter over there, didn't notice, and pulled Murong Yu to rescue him.
Murong Yu turned his head and scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
"Teacher's instruction." Xie Wenxuan said in a very soft voice.
Mentioning Yang Taiqing, Murong Yu looked solemn for a moment, then reacted, and stabbed Xie Wenxuan's elbow: "The teacher said that you can't talk about the right and wrong of the royal family, and you can't talk about rumors."
Xie Wenxuan wanted to ask, what is the difference between the two?He was also afraid that it would make people unhappy if he asked, so he put on a face for several days, but turned away helplessly.
In order to prevent Murong Yu from bringing up this embarrassing topic again, Luo Wenge whispered other things, and Murong Yu understood immediately.
A group of people talked and laughed and entered the Hall of Peace.
There were far more officials in the hall than expected. Luo Wenge's three seats were arranged in the middle of the hall, Murong Yu was next to him and Xie Wenxuan, and he was in front.
Luo Wenge sat down and raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Wen Tianzhong sitting across from him, who seemed to have not seen him for a few days, who nodded slightly at him, and he smiled back.
Seeing this, Murong Yu next to him turned his face and looked at Xie Wenxuan, both of them saw something different.
After half a cup of tea, the hall was filled one after another, and finally Shen Jue and Xu Yingping took their seats slowly, followed by the feudal lords who seemed to be living in harmony.
Shen and Xu were still on the two sides closest to Xiao Yulan, looking at each other across the aisle, the seats of the vassal kings over there were the same as the reception banquet that day, and the hall was full, waiting for Xiao Yulan to bring the Queen and Shen Ruqing to arrive.
Xiao Yulan came very quickly, she changed her previous posture of walking alone, this time she came in while supporting the queen's arm.
As soon as the emperor came, all civil and military officials bowed down and shouted loudly: "May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity, and the queen is auspicious."
Xiao Yulan asked the queen to sit down first, and said casually: "Excuse me, sit down, this is a banquet, so there is no need to be formal."
The people in the hall were grateful one after another and sat down safely.
Xiao Yulan fiddled with the empty wine cup, looked at Shen Jue and frowned slightly, Li
