"You are still the most leisurely!"

Lou Qing answered with a smile: "Naturally, you have a long way to go."

He said while pouring tea.

Zhang Yuandao raised his glass and said quietly: "Ever since I became an official, I have been more busy than free. I knew it earlier. I slipped away with you back then."

Lou Qing said helplessly: "You're making fun of me again." After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Tao: "Tell me, what's bothering you?"

Chen Tao said: "Teacher really has sharp eyes."

Lou Qing said: "Stop flattering, the two of you have never loosened your brows since you entered my door, who else can bother you except Chaotang?" He turned his thoughts and asked: "But the Fujian side Something went wrong?"

Zhang Yuandao said: "No, it's just a trivial matter."

Little things can make the two of them frown?Lou Qing understood: "No matter what it is, there is a source, just happened to remind me of something, do you want to hear it?"

Chen and Zhang became interested, and said in unison: "What's the matter?"

Lou Qing didn't say anything, first saluted solemnly, and said with a serious face: "Then please forgive me for my disrespect."

Maybe it was infected by Lou Qing's tone, or maybe the guess was serious, Chen and Zhang didn't dare to underestimate them any more, and they relieved Lou Qing of the responsibility, Lou Qing then said: "I and Zhang Changfeng went to Jiangnan and heard a rumor when he was staying in Dongcheng, what do you think it is?"

Chen and Zhang were very sensitive to the word 'rumor' at this time, almost at the same time, the same thing popped up in their minds.

"But the late emperor had an illegitimate son?"

Lou Qing nodded: "It seems that the emperor has known about this matter!"

Zhang Yuandao replied: "He is furious at the court, we are all worried about this matter!"

Lou Qing sighed and said: "At that time I just thought it was nonsense, I didn't care about it, but I never thought about it, it actually spread to the palace today."

Chen Tao said: "Teacher, there is no need to blame yourself. The rumors are outrageous, and the local officials have nowhere to find out, which made this matter worse."

Judging from the memorials played by local officials, the rumors appeared at the same time, and spread across the country with a rapid speed.

That's why the emperor was furious and reprimanded the court officials for their ineffectiveness. This was a premeditated man-made incident.

Lou Qing said: "What do you two think about this?"

After talking, the two didn't hide anymore, Zhang Yuan said: "Ah Xin, do you know the late King Nan?"

Lou Qing was puzzled: "What is the connection between the two?"

Zhang Yuandao said: "It wasn't originally, but the rumors connected the two..."

Zhang Yuandao told Lou Qing everything that happened in the courtroom today.

After listening, Lou Qing said: "Hearing you say that, I believe it even more."

Zhang Yuan said: "How do you say this?"

Lou Qing pointed out: "Perhaps, your guess is right."

Chen and Zhang were shocked: "What do you mean by that?"

Lou Qing analyzed: "What I heard in Dongcheng earlier was just a rumor that the late emperor had an illegitimate son, but now it has turned into the fact that the late emperor secretly sent the child away because he knew that the southern king was planning to plot rebellion. I think the focus of the rumor is not It’s an illegitimate child, but it was the Nan Wang’s plot to rebel 20 years ago.”

"But Prime Minister Lou said..."

"Maybe there is an omission. The grand event of the year was not ordinary."

If it is true as Lou Qing guessed, Nanwang's old forces have been dormant for 20 years, and their current purpose is to avenge him, then the implications will be serious. Is there something hidden in the court?How is the civil power distributed?Chen and Zhang originally wanted to chat with Lou Qing, but now the more they talked, the more frightened they became.

Seeing that the two of them looked bad, Lou Qing felt deeply guilty, and said, "Maybe it's just me thinking too much, so don't worry about it."

Zhang Yuandao shook his head and smiled wryly: "You wake up the dreamer with just one word, no matter what the matter is, if there is a guess, there will be a direction, and I can only try boldly."

Lou Qing saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he reminded him in a low voice: "I remember this incident, it was suppressed by the emperor and his father together with General Zhang." Since this is the case, the emperor must have avoided the incident back then.

After a long time, Zhang Yuandao sighed, "I just want to find out the matter."

Chen Tao, Lou Qing and both were silent.

The three of them drank tea silently for a while, Zhang Yuandao seemed to remember something, and said to Lou Qing: "You haven't seen Mr. Ji for some time, right?"

Lou Qing seemed to be terrified by being prying into the secret of his heart: "Adao, you..."

Zhang Yuandao clicked twice: "Otherwise, how long are you going to hide it from me?"

Lou Qing couldn't help looking at Chen Tao, Zhang Yuandao seemed to know what he was thinking, and defended Chen Tao: "You and I have been friends for many years, but I can't see the tenderness and sweetness when you are with Mr. Ji?"

"Ahem..." Chen Tao was a little embarrassed.

Lou Qing was also very embarrassed: "He and I..." I am really ashamed to say these three words of falling in love.

Zhang Yuandao joked: "How are you and him?"

Lou Qing pursed her lips.

Zhang Yuandao said abruptly and startled: "I'm afraid there is a reality of husband and wife?"

Lou Qing's face was flushed immediately, and his eyes flickered.

Chen Tao hurriedly said: "You are enough, the teacher and Ji Changfeng paid homage, it is justified."

Zhang Yuandao was really shocked: "I can only guess that the two of you are actually married, but I don't know if they are actually married."

"This... is really a mistake." Lou Qing whispered.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lou Qing lowering his head, Zhang Yuandao made it clear that he didn't want to say anything, so he stood up and went to pull Lou Qing: "If you don't say it, let another person tell me, are you going or not?" Go? If not, I can go."

Chen Tao's tone was quite helpless: "Zhiyan..."

Zhang Yuandao said to him: "You are his student, you must have attended his wedding, so I won't argue with you, you still don't want to talk."

Chen Tao was very wronged, Ji Changfeng took care of the matter secretly, if he could really participate, would this relationship still be possible?

Lou Qing pressed his hand: "Don't make trouble." Lou Qing could imagine Ji Changfeng's face now because of this incident.

Zhang Yuandao smiled and said: "Then I will go by myself." After speaking, he let go of Lou Qing and strode towards the door.

"A Dao..." Lou Qing hurriedly got up and followed.

It doesn't matter if you make trouble, Chen Tao secretly laughed, who made Ji Changfeng unrighteous?

At this time, Ji Changfeng still didn't know that he was going to be in "a catastrophe", so he was still discussing their matters with Qiu Shangji Shiyu.

Ji Changfeng said: "Rumours are bound to spread to the palace at this time, and it will reach the capital in a few days."

Ji Shiyu said: "Uncle Chang has also sent a letter, and they will arrive in the capital in half a month."

Ji Changfeng said: "When Uncle Chang receives the news that Sifan is going to Fujian for disaster relief and flood fighting, he will definitely try to delay the time to enter Beijing."

Ji Shiyu said: "It's just that I haven't received a reply yet."

Ji Changfeng waved his hands and said, "No problem, we can just play by ear."

Qiu Shang interjected, "I don't know what's going on with the teacher." The most important thing at this moment is not when Prince Ling will enter the capital, but the evidence in the hands of Prime Minister Lou.

Speaking of this, even Ji Changfeng became anxious, he pinched the center of his brows with his hands, and said, "Be as cautious as Prime Minister Lou, Ah Qing is not easy to succeed, if you act too eagerly, it will arouse suspicion."

At this moment, the servant came in and said, "Eldest Young Master, Mr. Lou is here."

Ji Changfeng thought he heard it wrong, so he repeated: "Ah Qing?"

The servant continued: "Master Zhang and Master Chen are also accompanying you."

Needless to say, the three of them knew who these two were, Ji Changfeng suppressed his doubts, and said to the servant: "Bring them here quickly... No, I'll go by myself."

Ji Changfeng stood up and immediately went to pick up the person.

Lou Qing and Chen Zhang had already entered the other courtyard, and both parties were shortening the distance, Ji Changfeng bumped into the three of them after walking a short distance.

Seeing that it was Lou Qing, Ji Changfeng was overjoyed: "Ah Qing!" He was about to step forward, but Zhang Yuandao suddenly stood in front of Lou Qing.

"Stop." Zhang Yuandao raised his hand to separate the two.

Ji Changfeng frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Master Zhang, is this?"

Zhang Yuandao put down his hands and said, "I heard that you and A Xin have already paid homage, and they are a legitimate couple, but A Xin said that your marriage to him was a coincidence. Let me ask you, what kind of mistake is it?" Law."

Zhang Yuandao... Ji Changfeng looked at this man, he was gentle and elegant, with a fascinating face, but... as far as he knew, he was not a nosy person!

"It's a bit of a misunderstanding, but it's a wonderful misunderstanding." When Ji Changfeng answered this, he didn't look at Zhang Yuandao, but stared at Lou Qing, who had lowered his head, but it could be seen from his exposed ears that it was Zhang Yuandao. shy!

Seeing that he admitted, Zhang Yuandao no longer turned around, and cut straight to the point: "It's just a misunderstanding, something must have happened, so please ask Mr. Ji to tell me. If Ah Xin is wronged, I don't agree."

Ji Changfeng said: "Single chat?"

Zhang Yuandao spread his hands: "Please."

Ji Changfeng invited Zhang Yuandao into the study room of the other courtyard. Once the door was closed and he sat opposite, it was the world of two people.

It's quiet here, and I'm not afraid of someone eavesdropping, Ji Changfeng said very directly: "I don't know why Mr. Zhang is looking for Ji?"

Zhang Yuandao was a little satisfied, and he didn't hesitate to praise: "Master Ji is a smart man, but can you guess why I'm here?"

Ji Changfeng said with a smile: "I just know that Mr. Zhang is not a nosy person. By saying this, I just want to point out Ji Yier, but what is it, please confess to Mr. Zhang."

Ji Changfeng said it very modestly, and Zhang Yuandao also benefited from it. He really "pointed" and said: "Since you are married to Ah Xin, you will definitely not hide it from you because of his temperament. Apart from his identity, you also know what?"

Ji Changfeng said: "I know the same as Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yuandao suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Since that's the case, why did you let him come back? Prime Minister Lou is not easy to deal with."

"Ji doesn't know what Mr. Zhang means by this."

"You are married to him, and you should persuade him in everything. To take revenge on Prime Minister Lou is as easy as treating you like a child? Are you not afraid that he will lose his life in Lou's mansion?"

At this time, Ji Changfeng really understood that Zhang Yuandao came to scold him.

"Ah Ching is an adult, he has his choice."

Zhang Yuandao said angrily: "Confused, what good does it do him?"

Ji Changfeng's voice was low but firm: "This is his wish."

"This is death."

"What about Master Zhang? Knowing the purpose of Ah Qing's return, why didn't he stop him?"

"So you know it all, and you still pretended to be stupid for me."

Ji Changfeng shook his head, and said: "To be honest, I only guessed it after Ah Qing went back. Now it seems that it's all true."

"Master Zhang, whether it's my wife or your good friend, they are all the same person. You think he won't change his mind, let alone me? You stand by his side to protect him, and I will also smooth the way out for him."

"What can you do? You can't even enter Lou's mansion. Do you want Prime Minister Lou to notify you first when he harms Ah Xin?"

Ji Changfeng smiled and said, "Master Zhang is joking."

Perhaps because he really thought it was too ridiculous, Zhang Yuandao's tense expression finally relaxed: "Is it really impossible to bring him back to Southeast County?"

Ji Changfeng shook his head slowly.

"I thought he listened to you more or less, but it wasn't true. You were the one who was eaten to death."

Ji Changfeng still smiled.

After a heart-to-heart talk, although they didn't reach a conclusion, the distance between the two unexpectedly narrowed. Zhang Yuandao's views on Ji Changfeng were not so targeted at this time.

"Since you want to smooth the way out for him, what method have you thought of?"

"I just think that I should block the sword for him, drink the poison for him, and even if I die, I should protect him well."

Zhang Yuandao despises him: "Slick-tongued." But he is really happy for Lou Qing: "He had a very hard life in the first half of his life, even if he is married to you, he will treat him better."

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng swallowed back the words of thanks that were about to blurt out, and Zhang Yuan said that if he wanted this, he would not have helped Lou Qing!

The author has something to say:

I still think too naively, so there are still so many pitfalls to be filled, and it is said to be over! (crazy)
