"Azhao, are you alright! Waiting for a while, get on the sedan chair!" Han Chongliang yelled outside the house, then turned around and chatted with Lu Chengyi again.

In the room, Wei Zhao was being dressed by Huo Baoer.Tonight, Emperor Yuan hosted a banquet in Jingyang Hall to entertain Beiyan's envoys. It is said that these sons and daughters of noble families do not have official positions in the court.

It's just that last year Beiyan sent a prince to pay tribute, and Emperor Yuan ordered the princes of all families to also enter the palace, saying that there were many young people and it was lively.This time the palace banquet, and the Meiyuan case involved several young masters, so I had to go.

Changsun Ke saw that he was dressed in brocade and was noble, so he also secretly praised him in his heart, but his face was still calm, but his eyes were always on Wei Zhao, and he couldn't move away.He instructed: "Your foot injury is recovering well, but you need to pay more attention to avoid the root cause of the disease."

Wei Zhao squinted at him, and said with a smile, "I know, I know, you've been talking about it since morning. Why are you so reluctant to part with me? It's not like I won't come back after I left. But maybe you come back late at night, if you're tired Go to sleep first, don't wait for me in the dark."

These words sounded like a husband going out to appease the young daughter-in-law at home. Chang Sun Ke felt that something was wrong, so he simply shut up and remained silent.

Wei Zhao changed his clothes, still leaning on the crutch, and limped out the door.Han Chongliang and the others were leaning on the railing and throwing fish food into the pond bored. The red-tailed carp wandered around as if they were having fun seeing the food, and the water surface rippled in circles.

"Feng Yu, Master Feng is willing to let you go out today?" Wei Zhao stepped forward with a smile.

Feng Yu's face turned red: "You also know my father's thoughts. Ever since the Meiyuan incident happened, he has kept a close watch on him. I have never had a chance to see Ah Zhao. I feel really sorry."

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, it's rare to get together today, so we have to have a good time tonight."

"Azhao, how is your injury?" Lu Chengyi saw that he had difficulty moving, but his complexion was much better than the last time he saw him.

"It's okay, but I dare not use my strength. By the way, Cheng Yi, the matter of your uncle's house..."

Lu Chengyi's face was a bit grim: "The thief hasn't been found yet, but my aunt insisted that the thief was related to brother Wei Xuan, and she wanted to give an explanation from the Beifu Chen Shaojian. When the envoy from Beiyan came to visit, my father took care of the overall situation and called him uncle." Press down on my aunt, don't cause trouble at this time. But Ah Zhao, my aunt is stubborn, and the one who died was her only son. I'm afraid it will be difficult to mediate this matter. Big trouble lies ahead."

Wei Zhao frowned, and then sighed: "Forget it, let's solve the trouble in front of us first. I just think that Xiaoxishan's incident is a bit of a coincidence."

While talking, a young man came to report that the chariot and horses were ready.Lu Chengyi and Feng Yu were in front, Wei Zhao was a step behind and walked with Han Chongliang.

"Ah Liang, I heard that your house was attacked by assassins two days ago, did you get hurt?"

Han Chongliang had a resentful look on his face: "Azhao, you finally thought of asking me. It's not a big deal, it just scared my mother. It's strange to say that as soon as the group of assassins arrived, several groups of people chased after them , They fought so hard, I watched the excitement for a long time."

"The group of assassins who came earlier held knives, their knives were weird and fierce. I looked at the knives from the Beidi side, and I thought they were the Beiyan assassins. They also attracted many people at the same time. Thinking about the current situation in Shengjing City, it is probably related to the current situation in Shengjing City. The Meiyuan case has been involved. It’s just that my mother was shocked, otherwise I would have to follow up and have a look.”

"That's Wan Yanhong's man."

Han Chongliang was surprised: "Have you caught someone?"

Wei Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth: "Let the North Mansion Supervisor Hong take care of it, I think there will be no problems."

Han Chongliang turned his eyes and glanced at Wei Zhao: "Ah Zhao, you are really cunning."

The four of them came not too early or too late, a lot of carriages from Befu had already parked in front of the palace gate, seeing Wei Zhao and the others coming, they gave way tactfully.

With sharp eyes, Wei Zhao saw Little Mozi waiting at the gate of the palace at a glance, and hurriedly waved to him.

Little Mozi saluted, and said: "Your Majesty misses the third master, so I ordered the little one to wait here first." Seeing Wei Zhao leaning on a cane, he was shocked again: "The third master is injured!"

"Sister Lao is worried about it, but she sprained her ankle, it's not a problem, so don't worry about it, she's tired after careful consideration."

Wei Zhao said and handed a small delicate box to Xiao Mozi: "This is the most delicious candied fruit. Yuan'er said that Chang Le likes it, so he asked me to bring it here."

Xiao Mozi took it with a smile: "Master Yuan played well with the princess, and it happens that the princess has something to give to Master Yuan."

The little inner eunuch at the side stepped forward and offered a small cloth bag with both hands. Wei Zhao weighed it, but couldn't guess what it was for a moment.The left and right are the little secrets of the siblings, and it is inconvenient for him to peek, so he entrusts the things to Huo Baoer to take care of them.

"Third Master, it's a long way to go to Jingyang Hall, Xiao Mozi, please carry you there, but carefully aggravate the injury."

"It's okay, if outsiders see it and hold on to the topic, then I'll leave the palace later, and the troublesome elder sister is the one."

Several people walked slowly towards the Jingyang Palace while talking, Xiao Mozi returned to Yongning Palace, and happened to be able to walk a section together.Hearing Wei Zhao's words, he glanced at Feng Yu who came with him, and sighed insignificantly.

Wei Zhao saw that his face was quite sad, and he also thought about it, but after all, he couldn't intervene in the affairs of the harem.It has not been a day or two since Concubine Feng Gui was arrogant, but fortunately Li Huai still protected her elder sister and never told Concubine Feng Gui to go past her.

It was still some time before the palace banquet started, but some ministers and sons from Jingyang Palace came to Jingyang Hall. They rarely see each other on weekdays, and they are not familiar with them.Before Wei Ru and Lu Xiangye arrived, the four of them gathered together and went to the garden not far from Jingyang Hall to avoid being bored in the hall.

Lu Chengyi said: "Yesterday, the emperor announced my father into the palace and talked about the public trial. If there is no accident, the public trial will be at the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment at si o'clock tomorrow. Ah Zhao must be careful today, don't tell Beiyan people to get involved." There is a loophole."

"At this point, they have nothing to do, the palace is heavily guarded, and even if they do something, they are on their way back to the residence. I have suffered a loss once, how can I let them plan again."

"Anyway, it's good that Azhao knows it well."

"Hey, don't worry about it. Feng Yu, how are you reading these days? Although you haven't gone out for the past two days, you have heard that students from all over the country are coming to Shengjing City one after another. Presumably this year's competition will be more important. Relatively intense."

Feng Yu lowered his head and said, "You know, I prefer miscellaneous books. Although Zhengbajing'er's collection of classics and history is not a big problem, the policy theory is not good enough. I don't have confidence in my heart, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the list. My father is very angry. Don’t even ask me to go out to play.”

Han Chongliang curled his lips: "It's superfluous for me to say Master Feng. With Concubine Feng being favored, it's not just a matter of arranging an errand for you. Why bother preparing for the exam?"

Feng Yu said with a bitter face: "It's not because of my father's good face, he insisted on earning a name for myself, lest others say that my Feng family used women to gain power..."

As he spoke, his voice dropped. After all, Feng's family really made their fortune through the nepotism of Concubine Feng Gui. If there were not so many merchants in the world, how could the imperial merchants fall on Feng's family.

While the few people were chatting, they suddenly heard the sound of broken porcelain in front of them, followed by a shrill curse.

"...You blind dog, don't you know that this is food for Concubine Feng Gui? Now it is broken, and I will ask you to pay with your life!"

"Eunuch Liu, please forgive me, villain, villain didn't mean to collide..."

A loud slap sounded, and the little inner eunuch fell silent immediately.

"Come here, don't drag him down and beat him to death with sticks."

Feng Yu's scalp tightened, his face turned red and white.

Wei Zhao frowned in disgust: "However, can a bowl of food be worth a human life?"

Eunuch Liu looked back when he heard the words, his heart trembled twice, and he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Young Master Wei is laughing, you are not polite if you don't teach me a lesson, everything in this palace is precious, if someone People are as frizzy as him, so it's not a mess."

"But I clearly saw that you didn't look at the road and bumped into this little father-in-law first."

Eunuch Liu choked: "This, I think the third son is delusional."

Han Chongliang couldn't help being angry: "My son saw it too, could it be that my eyes are also blurred."

Eunuch Liu was sweating profusely, thinking that he didn't read the almanac when he went out today, and met these two evil stars.He hurriedly knelt down, crying and begging: "The villain is wronged, Master Feng, you have to make decisions for the villain. This food was specially rewarded by the emperor. Concubine Feng Guifei is pregnant, and her bones are weak. The emperor loves you." It's a pity..."

Wei Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold.Look at this father-in-law's imposing manner, presumably he is favored by Concubine Feng, but he still opens his eyes and talks nonsense in front of him, which shows how domineering Concubine Feng is in the palace relying on the emperor's favor.The eldest sister has a gentle temperament, so she must have suffered a lot.Now that Concubine Feng Gui can't be moved, it's still easy to punish an evil slave.

Feng Yu knew that his sister was favored, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law was so arrogant. If he hadn't been bumped into by them, it would be better to say, but now that everyone has seen it with his own eyes, the dead slave is still stubborn, so where does he put his face?He simply kicked his foot and said angrily: "My sister raised you with good intentions, but she actually raised a bunch of slaves who are tyrannical and domineering. Don't you know how much trouble I will cause my sister!"

Such a big commotion here naturally attracted a lot of people, so they hurriedly reported to the chief inspector.It happened that Gao Hai was passing by, and seeing several young masters there, he thought that something had happened, but when he found out what was going on, he looked at Eunuch Liu unavoidably coldly.

Wei Zhao said: "After all, it's the matter of the harem. It's inconvenient for us to intervene. We'll just tell what we've seen. As for how to deal with it, I'll ask Eunuch Gao to decide. I believe Eunuch Gao will handle it fairly."

"It's a capital offense to break something bestowed by the emperor. Since you are someone close to Concubine Feng, you cut off your hands and throw them out of the palace."

Eunuch Liu immediately paralyzed and passed out.

Ordinarily, the matter of the harem should be reported to the queen, but Gao Hai is not an ordinary chief inspector, and this Eunuch Liu is not a first-class internal prisoner next to the noble concubine, so there is no reason to trouble the queen with such a trivial matter.

Having said that, Gao Hai is smart, now that Concubine Feng Gui is pregnant with a dragon heir, she is in the limelight, if she goes to the emperor to cry and beg, the emperor softens, and the matter will be turned over, making it difficult for the empress to do.It's better to be clean and tidy, and since Young Master Feng is here today, Concubine Feng Gui can only swallow this loss by herself.

This matter was just an episode, and everyone dispersed after the deal was over.Wei Zhao also had no intention of wandering around, seeing that it was almost time, he went back to Jingyang Palace with the three of them.

"...Sui Baoer will never forget the life-saving grace of Mr. Wei San."

Wei Zhaoben also couldn't bear it for a while, and he couldn't bear Liu Gonggong's domineering, so he didn't want to ask the little eunuch to be grateful, but when he heard his name Sui Bao'er, he stopped and said with a smile: "I also have a Bao'er in my family, who is born Ups and downs. You are also called Bao'er. You have been trapped in this deep palace at a young age. You must have had a miserable experience. Forget it, save people to the end. Then Eunuch Liu was kicked out of the palace, which hurt Concubine Feng Gui. Eunuch, she doesn't dare to offend, but you, little eunuch, will be left alone."

He took off a jade pendant around his waist and gave it to him: "Take this thing and go to Eunuch Gao quietly, and ask him to sell me a favor and arrange an errand for you. If you want to come, you can save your life. What happens in the future is up to you." You don’t have to thank me, let alone go to the queen’s palace, what happened today is just a good relationship with me.”
