Cheng Chen

Three days later, General Xie Da Situ returned triumphantly from southern Xinjiang, and the people of the imperial capital lined the road to welcome him.

As soon as Lou Yan returned to the imperial capital, he fell ill as if he was unwilling to wait for a moment. He became unconscious from the fever that night, and Qi Zheng was so frightened that he rushed to the Da Situ Mansion overnight. The backyard of the mansion.

Since Lou Yan fell ill, Qi Zheng visited Da Situ's Mansion every day until Lou Yan recovered and was able to go to court.If it wasn't for the imperial physician's repeated assurance that the high fever was caused by fatigue, and he would be able to recover after a few days of recuperation, the Da Situ Mansion would have been bleeding like a river.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the people of Da Qi had speculated a lot about Qi Zheng's excessive love for Chong Louyan, and now the forbidden love between the two has been secretly rumored.Even though Lou Yan's power is overwhelming, he still can't block the mouths of everyone in the world.

After leaving the court that day, Lou Yan went to the Evergreen Palace according to the order, passing by the Imperial Garden on the way, and encountered a small trouble.

Coincidentally, Concubine Xian taught An Meiren a lesson, a group of maids blocked the way, Concubine Xian was furious and An Meiren was crying, this scene was really embarrassing, Lou Yan couldn't go forward.Originally, there were three roads to the Evergreen Palace, except for the small road of the Imperial Garden, there are two other roads, but one road was closed a few days ago, and the other road is very far away, so you have to go back to the main hall, this time you have to go around It's less than half the palace, it's better to wait until the trouble here is over before going.

Lou Yan stood behind the tree, watching secretly.

Concubine Xian is the first daughter of Yushi, the first among the four concubines, and the current ruler of the harem.Although Lou Yan often entered the palace, he didn't have any contact with the concubines, but this Anmei has a special status.An Meiren's boudoir name is Li An'an, she is the sister of Li Qiren, Lou Yan's confidant, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Qiren.

Seeing that Anmei was about to be pushed to the ground by several nuns, Lou Yan coughed deliberately.A group of women were ruthless and vigorous, when they suddenly heard a man coughing, they were really shocked, and they all panicked.

"Concubine Xian has lost her reputation for a long time, and now this is..." The meaning of Lou Yan's words is unclear, but the playful look in his eyes really made Concubine Xian pale.

Concubine Xian withdrew her hand with pointed nails that almost greeted An Meiren's face, shook her sleeves, and said, "Da Situ is very elegant, are you here to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden?"

Lou Yan looked at the smirk on Concubine Xian's face, and returned the same smirk: "Is this imperial garden rewarded by the minister whenever he wants? I just went to the Evergreen Palace to discuss matters under the order."

"It turns out that I was going there according to the order..." Suddenly a court lady came forward and whispered a few words to Concubine Xian. After taking a few steps, he said: "Please, Da Situ, it's my palace's disrespect, don't delay the business."

Lou Yan glanced sideways at An Meiren in front left, then looked at Concubine Xian with an inexplicable look, and walked straight forward.When he walked to An Meiren's side, An Meiren suddenly became unsteady and fell straight into his arms. Lou Yan supported her subconsciously.

"Bold An Meiren! You actually..." Concubine Xian's expression turned pale.

Lou Yan frowned lightly, and was about to turn his head to see what kind of tricks Concubine Xian was playing, when he heard a faint but murderous voice.

"Who can explain to the widow what's going on?"

A kind of palace people knelt down in unison, too frightened to breathe out, while An Meiren fell limply, kneeling on the ground and shivering.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Xian pretended to be shocked, as if she wanted to say something hard to say.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on in this scene.When Da Situ and An Mei met privately in the Royal Garden, hugging each other and making love to each other, they were discovered by Concubine Xian.

"Say." Qi Zheng spat out a word expressionlessly, his eyes still fixed on Lou Yan who was calm.

The corner of Concubine Xian's mouth curled into an arc: "The concubine went for a walk in the imperial garden, and unexpectedly ran into a private meeting between Da Situ and An Mei. It is the concubine's ineffective management of the harem. Please punish me."

"Your Majesty... my concubine was wronged..." An Meiren resisted her fear and argued, but Qi Zheng didn't respond at all.

"What can Lou Qing say?"

Lou Yan finally had a reaction, and replied lightly: "The minister came here today to discuss the affairs of the previous dynasty. As for the harem, the minister will clear himself."

Lou Yan's words were joking.It not only reminded Qi Zheng of the purpose of his trip, but also expressed his dissatisfaction that the turmoil in Qi Zheng's harem affected him.It's just that Da Situ's non-salty tone made His Majesty the Emperor a little dissatisfied.

"Come here," Qi Zheng took a few steps forward, grabbed Lou Yan's arm, and led him straight forward, "The virtuous concubine deceived the emperor and was thrown into the cold palace. Anmei's dishonesty, she will be banned from the palace for one month from now on."

"Your Majesty! The concubine was wronged! Your Majesty, you can't treat the concubine like this!"

Anmei made a big gift to Qi Zheng: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight."

"Go back to the palace."

Qi Zheng turned around and walked towards the Evergreen Palace, Lou Yan followed behind, followed by a string of palace people.

When they arrived at the Evergreen Hall, Qi Zheng took the lead in attacking: "What is the relationship between An Meiren and you, why do you want to stand up for her?"

Lou Yan rubbed his nose and didn't answer, but instead asked: "Your Majesty is so tolerant to Anmei, why?"

"Li An'an is a concubine who satisfies everyone. She is quiet enough and free from disputes." Qi Zheng paused, "Now, answer my questions."

"Li Qiren is also a satisfactory colleague. He is not in the imperial capital at this time, and his younger sister, Wei Chen, should take care of him." Lou Yan's tone was very light, showing a naturalness.

"You are not afraid of people suspecting that you are forming a party for personal gain."

"Your Majesty, I won't stay in court for long," Lou Yan lowered his eyes, "It's been seven years."

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You have already obtained the country and land of the widow, but your wish has not been fulfilled for a long time. It is the widow who owes you."

"Your Majesty, I just want a copy of the Supreme King's crimes."

Qi Zheng silently looked down at Lou Yan.The letter of guilt, three simple words, but if it is announced to the world that it is guilty, it is a denial of the achievements of a king in his life, and it is not easy to let his glorious father and king issue an order to sin against himself.

"The widow will help you."

Listening to Qi Zheng's promise, Lou Yan suddenly knelt down and made a big gift: "My humble minister, thank you for your kindness. I dare not expect your majesty to do anything for me. Your majesty's best support for me is to do nothing."

do nothing?What have I done... will it get in your way?

After a period of unbearable silence, Qi Zheng helped Lou Yan up and broke the silence: "It seems that Lou Qing is very opposed to the Taiwei's suggestion when discussing matters in the previous court today?"

"Yes. The imperial guards of the palace must not be mobilized by a tiger talisman. The guards placed close to them must guarantee absolute loyalty."

"Lou Qing's thinking is the same as that of the widow."

When the two were not involved in personal matters, they were still very efficient, and resolved and finalized the dispute in the court within an hour.

Lou Yan walked silently on the official road, and the servant from the Da Situ's Mansion followed him from afar.Back at Da Situ's mansion, Lou Yan took off his official uniform, only wearing a middle coat, and walked into the ancestral hall, knelt in the ancestral hall for a long time.

"Father, did I do something wrong?" Lou Yan lowered his head, completely losing his calm posture in front of people, like a child who did something wrong, "If I do it for the reputation of the Lou family, for Ah Yu Will you blame me for causing Daqi's life to die in the future?

"But, I lived for seven more years, just to fulfill this one wish, no matter it is right or wrong, it has become my obsession until death, and I can't stop. I'm slapping When Yu Na slapped him, he was not slapping himself, in fact... I am the same as him."

Lou Yan suddenly let out a self-deprecating snort: "I can't stop now, father, I'm enough for the Lou family to be a sinner."
