Chongxi [rebirth]

It's the fourth watch, when the cock crows.

It was still dark, and there were lanterns under the eaves of the main courtyard. The new maid was waiting in the courtyard with lanterns. When she saw the two people coming out, she led the way with lanterns.

Ye Yunting sent Li Fengqi to the gate of the palace, and then stopped in his tracks.

Although his expression was calm, Li Fengqi knew what he was worried about. He lightly patted the back of Ye Yunting's hand, transferred from the wheelchair to the sedan chair, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and waved to Ye Yunting: "Go back and rest."

Ye Yunting nodded at him, and saw the bearer lift the sedan chair, followed by Wu Geng pushing the wheelchair, and a group of people walked towards the palace.

It takes about two quarters of an hour to go from the palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony via Zhaohe Main Street.

The bustling Showa Main Street during the day is very quiet at this time. As the old saying goes, "the first watch, the second watch, the third watch, and the fourth watch." This is the time when people sleep the most.There was only the dim light of lanterns and the dull sound of footsteps on the street.

Occasionally, I would meet other officials who went to court, and the familiar officials would greet each other sleepily.

The closer they were to the palace, the more sedan chairs there were in each mansion. A large number of officials rolled up the curtains of the sedan chairs to talk and chat. The most mentioned topic was no different from yesterday evening when King Yong'an came out of the mansion to welcome the old concubine.

It is said that King Yong'an, who died soon after being poisoned in his body, recovered so quietly.

Not all the officials knew what happened in the palace before.But the people who are officials in the court, not to mention that they are all good, but they all know how to watch their eyes and colors.Even if they don't know the situation in the palace, they can guess a thing or two about the emperor's attitude these days.

They all secretly speculated that the Yong'an Palace, which had been in great prosperity for a while, might be overthrown from then on.

Some people sigh, and some people gloat.But everyone remained silent in the same spirit.After all, King Yong'an's life is not long, so it is not wise to offend the emperor for a dying person.What's more, those officials who were close to King Yong'an in the past were all silent like cicadas, so it's their turn to be strong.

Everyone stood their ground, just waiting to see the final outcome of King Yong'an.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was caught off guard by King Yong'an.Officials, big and small, have their own positions and factions, and at this time they are whispering about the subsequent impact of this incident.

Qi Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, held his sleeves and said, "My lords, you should be more cautious when speaking today."

All the officials tacitly said that King Yong'an is very good, so His Majesty's mood must not be much better.At this time, if there is a bad head, there must be no black hat and no head on the neck.

"I'm afraid this day is going to change." The elderly doctor Yu Shi put on the stove and squinted at the brightly lit imperial city.

Rabbits are dead and dogs are cooking, birds are all bowed and hidden.It has been common throughout the ages.

But there was a huge disparity in strength between the emperor and King Yong'an.Now beating a snake won't kill me, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

King Yong'an is not a mud bodhisattva who cannot fight back.

Everyone was silent for a while, silently guessing the future situation of the court.

Someone in the darkness suddenly exclaimed: "That is King Yong'an's sedan chair?"

Everyone was shocked and followed the sound to look.

Then I saw a sedan chair that was taller and more spacious than ordinary sedan chairs silently parked on the side. I don't know when it came. Very eye-catching.

A group of ministers stared at the hanging car curtain, wishing to see a hole.

Qi Shao, who was on good terms with Li Fengqi, raised his eyebrows and asked loudly, "But King Yong'an?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear voice reply: "Long time no see, my lords, are you all well?" At the same time, the low-hanging car curtain was slowly rolled up, revealing Li Fengqi's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

It's really King Yong'an!

The officials were so shocked that they could barely maintain the emotion on their faces.It was only yesterday evening that I heard the news of King Yong'an's great happiness. People came to attend the court meeting before dawn today.

It was clearly menacing.

Thinking of what the Yushi doctor said just now, I am afraid that the sky will really change.

The officials had different thoughts, and the ministers who had always been close to Li Fengqi all went up to greet him, while others listened.

Someone asked: "My lord has just recovered from a serious illness, why don't you rest for a few more days?"

Li Fengqi's voice was neither high nor low, as cold as ice, gloomy in the dark night: "I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

Everyone was thinking about what important business King Yong'an had at the moment.

Before he could figure out why, he heard the bell ring and the palace gate opened wide.

Everyone had no choice but to stop the topic, get off the sedan chair and line up, and go to the inside of the imperial city.After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, you will arrive at the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The ministers lined up to climb up the stairs, only Li Fengqi sat in a wheelchair and was pushed up by the fifth watch.

After arriving at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was replaced by an attendant from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Wu Geng handed over the wooden box containing Zhao Yan's head to the servant, and said: "Carry it well, don't drop it."

The servant accepted it obediently, before pushing Li Fengqi into the hall.

Everyone lined up according to their official positions, and Li Fengqi's wheelchair was at the front. After everyone stood in line, another person came late, dressed in plain white clothes, and it was Taifu Han Chan.

Han Chan's complexion was a little pale, he glanced at Li Fengqi, and stood beside him, juxtaposed with him.

Before Emperor Li Zong arrived, there was no noise in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all civil and military officials were silent.After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Zong, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon suit, appeared.

He has just been weak, his face still has the immatureness of a young man, and his complexion is extremely white because of the pampering.Lined up by the bright yellow dragon robe, she became a little weaker.

If it weren't for the dragon robe on his body, he wouldn't look like the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but more like a gloomy scholar.

Li Zong walked to the hall and sat down on the large dragon chair. The twelve beads on the crown shook gently, covering his gloomy and blue face.

He stared at Li Fengqi gloomyly, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.If he hadn't vented his anger in the harem just now, it would be difficult for him to maintain his calm face.

Cui Xishi stood beside him and blew his whip: "Play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do—"

After castration, a slightly sharp and high-pitched voice echoed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all the officials subconsciously fixed their eyes on Li Fengqi.

King Yong'an appeared, who would dare to play first?

However, Li Fengqi seemed oblivious to the eyes around him. He leaned on the back of the chair with his body relaxed, his hands folded, and he was at ease, as if no one could catch his eyes.

At his feet, there was that abrupt wooden box.

Everyone was not sure what he meant, let alone dare to stand out first.A needle can be heard in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a while.

Li Zong's eyes were gloomy, and he looked condescendingly at all the civil and military officials present, seeing that no one dared to come out, his face became even more ugly.

After a stalemate for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak first: "All the lovers have nothing to play today. King Yong'an has just recovered from a serious illness and still insists on coming to court. Don't you have nothing to play?"

"I have something to do." Li Fengqi sat up straight casually, his eyes met Li Zong, and they confronted each other in the air.

"What's the matter?" Li Zongqiang kept his composure, his eyes flickering.

"The minister received an urgent military report from eight hundred miles in northern Xinjiang, saying that Zhao Yan, who joined the army, secretly colluded with Yin Chengru, the governor of Jizhou, to rebel." Li Fengqi lightly threw out the case of Zhao Yan, and listed Zhao Yan's crimes one by one: "The military report said, Zhao Yan has only been in the Northern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion for more than ten days, he behaved perversely, asked for bribes and accepted bribes, and even falsely passed on His Majesty's oral order to confuse the army, intending to seduce the Deputy Governor Zhu Wen to conspire with him to rebel."

"Zhu Wen first pretended to agree, but in fact secretly investigated and collected evidence. He accidentally discovered that Zhao Yan had been in correspondence with Yin Chengru, the governor of Jizhou. The intention is unclear. In order to protect the peace of the two prefectures, the deputy governor wanted to capture Zhao Yan and take him to Beijing for questioning, but unexpectedly Zhao Yan noticed the resistance and was beheaded in the scuffle."

He took out the letters from his sleeve, and pointed to the wooden box on the ground: "This is the letter that the leader of Zhao Yan conspired with the two, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Everyone didn't expect that when King Yong'an showed up, he said such a terrible thing, and they all gasped.

Li Zong gritted his teeth tightly and forced out a ferocious smile: "Cui Xi, bring it up for a look."

Hearing the sound, Cui Xi walked down the steps, took the letter, and bent down to look at the wooden box on the ground.

This wooden box is one foot square, and the whole body is black.When he got closer, he could smell the faint smell of blood and rot.

He lifted the lid of the wooden box with a cold face, and Zhao Yan's hideous appearance was exposed in front of everyone.

Cui Xi's face was serious, and he picked up the wooden box: "Your Majesty, it is indeed Zhao Yan." After speaking, he submitted the correspondence.

Li Zong took it, turned it over in a hurry, and threw it on the dragon case.

He didn't need to read it to know what was written on the letter. Zhao Yan took his oral order to the northern border, and Yin Chengru also received his secret order to station troops in the mountains.According to the original plan, Zhao Yan went to northern Xinjiang, pretending to inadvertently reveal Li Fengqi's plight in Shangjing, with the purpose of provoking Zhu Wen's anger.Zhu Wen is irritable and irritable, but also loyal to Li Fengqi, as long as he makes a move, Li Zong can order Yin Chengru to lead troops to quell the chaos on the charge of treason.

Get rid of Li Fengqi's confidant general and Xuanjia army in an open and honest manner.At that time, Li Fengqi will have no backing, and he will be accused of treason by his subordinates. Even if he kills people in a fit of rage, the world will not say anything.

But Zhu Wen didn't fall into the trap, and Zhao Yan and Yin Chengru were also involved.

Zhao Yan died as he died, but Yin Chengru absolutely couldn't get in.

Li Zong gritted his teeth, and said with a calm face: "There are many doubts about this matter, and we still have to hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation."

Li Fengqi didn't object, but said: "Jizhou defends the capital and seeks rebellion. It is not trivial. Only the Ministry of Punishment may not be enough. Dali Temple and the three divisions of Yushitai are still required to interrogate. As for Jizhou Governor Yin Chengru, he privately transferred troops, no matter who they are No matter what the intention is, it violates the military order. To be on the safe side, he should be relieved of his official position and sent to the prison of Dali Temple to await trial."

He looked at the emperor from a distance: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Zong stared at him for a long time before scanning the hall: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty can't." Ye Zhili, Duke of Qi, said: "The Yin family is devoted to the country, and they are loyal to the country. If they are dismissed and sent to prison without finding out the truth, I am afraid that the hearts of loyal officials and generals will be chilled."

"Qi Guogong's words are wrong. Conspiracy is a felony to punish the nine clans. It's just temporarily inviting people to the prison to await trial. How can it be chilling?" Dali Temple Qing Wang Qie came out and refuted: "I am in charge of the Dali Temple Ten For more than a year, there has never been an unjust case. If it is found out that he is innocent, he will naturally be released and his innocence will be restored." Wang Qia flicked his sleeves and sneered again and again: "If it is so easy to chill, how can you talk about a loyal minister and a good general?" ?”

After finishing speaking, he paused slightly, and then asked in doubt: "Or is Qi Guogong wanting to show favoritism because of his in-law relationship with the Yin family?"

Ye Zhili was blocked by him one after another so that he could not speak. Since the death of his original wife, the Wang family cut off contact with him, and Wang Qie even sang against him everywhere.He knew that this matter would be difficult to deal with, so he thought for a moment, and in the end he flung his sleeves and retreated.

Since then, some people have come forward to give advice.But those who agree, there are those who refute.There was a lot of noise in the hall.

In the end, everyone looked at Doctor Yu Shi who didn't say a word.

"What do you think, Doctor Yushi?"

The elderly doctor censor squinted his eyes and said slowly: "The case is being heard in Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice is reviewing it. I, the censor platform, are only in charge of supervision. Since the two lords have agreed, the old minister can't object. Rest assured, your majesty and all the lords, old minister He will do his duty.”

In this way, the matter was settled.

No matter how much Li Zong wanted to keep him, he couldn't blatantly protect him.He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said the decree: "Then, according to what the ministers said, suspend the official position of Yin Chengru, the governor of Jizhou, and take him to the prison of Dali Temple to await trial!"

After finishing speaking, he got up angrily and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Seeing this, Cui Xi blew his whip again: "Sanchao—"

The civil and military officials walked slowly outside the hall, Li Fengqi was at the end, Han Chan walked beside him, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is really clever, as soon as he showed up, he broke an arm of the Yin family."

The Yin family is the emperor's confidantes, and Yin Chengru, governor of Jizhou, is Yin Xiaozhi's second son.

If the Yin family dared to attack Beijiang, Li Fengqi would not sit still.As soon as he showed up, he forced the emperor to send Yin Chengru to prison with the force of thunder.

In the prison of Dali Temple, no matter who enters, the skin will be peeled off.What's more, the king of Dali Temple has always been hostile to Qi Guogong, so naturally he also dislikes the Yin family. In this matter, he will definitely have a strict trial.

When the two confronted each other, Li Zong had no power to fight back, and Li Fengqi won completely.

Han Chan sighed: "As expected, the dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix begets the phoenix."

Between the words, it seemed that Li Zong had some criticisms.

Li Fengqi was not interested in his words implying that he was not interested in his life experience, and said mockingly: "Li Zong has always admired and respected you, but you only regard him as a pawn in the struggle for power. If he hears what you say, he will probably go crazy with anger."

Han Chan said indifferently: "It's better not to let him know." He pointed out: "Sometimes ignorance is a blessing, not everyone is qualified to enter this game of chess."

His expression was extremely cold, mixed with a bit of undisguised contempt.Shengsheng destroyed his unsullied temperament, which made him a bit more sinister for no reason.Like a fallen fairy.

For a man in his forties, the corners of his eyes and brows are not stained with age, but his heart has been tempered to be hard and vicious.

However, Li Fengqi didn't want to be led away by him, and said with a half-smile: "Teacher probably didn't understand what I meant. Since I said that, of course I want to convey the original words to Li Zong. It's also good for him to see clearly." Don't be instigated to do stupid things yourself."

"..." The corners of Han Chan's eyes twitched, and his cold voice was filled with anger: "Why should the prince be so stubborn, you and I cooperate, and the country will be overthrown in the blink of an eye. Don't you want to know your life experience? Don't you want to know why these things Will Nianhui be raised in Yongan Palace?"

"What I want to know, I will know sooner or later." Hearing him mention his background, his face darkened, and he looked at Han Chan contemptuously: "Cooperate with me? Are you worthy too?"

He defended his weaknesses and held grudges all his life, if he dared to attack his brothers and the Xuanjia Army, he would not let any of them go.

Han Chan thought that he could negotiate terms with him by holding on to the old things that he didn't know the truth or falsehood, it was just a dream.

Li Fengqi's patience was completely exhausted, and he turned the wheelchair and walked out at a faster speed.Waiting outside, seeing this at five o'clock, he hurried forward and pushed him out of the palace.

Han Chan looked at his back, his expression changing.Suddenly angry and suddenly happy, as if looking at him, but also as if looking at other people through him.

He muttered to himself: "It really is his son, even his temper is so similar..."

While he was thinking, a servant hurried over and called out: "Teacher, His Majesty is looking for you, you should go quickly."

Han Chan's thoughts were forced to withdraw from the memory, her face was a little impatient, and she quickly hid it: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

The servant looked terrified: "Your Majesty is losing his temper."

Han Chan closed her eyes and followed the servant to the harem.

Taigan Palace.

The palace maid prostrated herself on the ground, and the hall was in a mess.

Li Zong smashed everything that could be smashed, still not relieved, and ordered someone to bring a whip to discourage the two young eunuchs.

When Han Chan arrived, the two little eunuchs had already turned into blood men. Cui Xizheng ordered someone to drag them down, and he lowered his voice and explained: "After going back, go to the Imperial Medical Office to prescribe some wound medicine. Whether they can survive depends on their good fortune." gone."

The servant who carried the man turned pale, and nodded with fear.

Han Chan approached: "Cui Changshi will also be sympathetic to the people below."

"They're all people who are miserable, and they didn't do anything wrong. It's always a pity to die like this." Cui Xi sighed a few words, and then changed the subject, pointing directly at Han Chan: "I'm not as good as you." Taifu Han, I have done too many bad things, and my heart has hardened."

He curled up his mouth and smiled mockingly.

Han Chan had no intention of entangled with him, brushed his shoulder and entered the palace.When he saw the mess all over the place, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty's temper should be contained, if it spreads..."

"If it gets out, I'm afraid it's bad for my reputation?" Li Zong said without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Teacher always tells me about fame and reputation, but in my opinion, the most useless thing is reputation." His brows were gloomy: "If I didn't care about my reputation and killed King Yong'an directly, how could this happen?!"

What he regrets most now is that he was too scruples about his reputation and didn't kill Li Fengqi when he was at his weakest.Only then did he have the opportunity to stand up.

Han Chan lowered her eyes: "If Your Majesty kills King Yong'an, he may be infamous in the writings of historians in the future. There are thousands of ways to kill him. Why should Your Majesty hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred?"

Li Zong's temper also came up, and he looked straight at him with a flick of his sleeves: "I never pay attention to infamy in the future, and I never care about the Mingjun and the emperor, so what if I bear the infamy? As long as I live freely in front of me, I don't care about him." All kinds of infamy behind the flood?" He gritted his teeth, and uttered his heart word by word: "I just listen to the words of the Tai Tuo too much, and have too many scruples."

He was like a ferocious wolf that had been aroused, and finally began to break free from the shackles imposed on him.

Han Chan was faintly startled, but her face softened and said soothingly: "I know Your Majesty is angry, but it's just a momentary victory or defeat. The king will always be the king of Yong'an. Why should your majesty be angry for a while?" His expression became softer, since Li Zong was five years old, he was his teacher, and he was the one who guided Li Zong to his current position step by step. He is also most aware of his weakness: "Could it be that your majesty still can't trust the teacher?"

"Teacher is right." Li Zong seemed to be appeased. He sat down on the couch, lowered his head and twirled the emerald finger on his thumb, his drooping eyelashes blocked the emotions in his eyes, and repeated a sentence: "The king is the minister." The guideline, the king is the guideline for the minister..."

He closed his eyes, raised his head and said with a smile: "I figured it out, the teacher is also tired today, let's go back and rest first."

Han Chan looked at him calmly, always feeling that something was wrong with him today.But Li Zong looked at him calmly, but couldn't see any problem.He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then retreated and left.

When Han Chan left, he heard Li Zong inside say, "Cui Xi stay."

Li Zong seemed to have figured something out, and regained his laziness. He leaned on the couch, called two servants to beat his legs, and glanced at Cui Xi: "Last time, did you say that someone was found?"

Cui Xi's eyes flashed: "Yes, they are a pair of twin brothers. Would you like to go and see, Your Majesty?"

Li Zong thought for a moment.Then he nodded: "Bring the man."

Cui Xi ordered to go down, and he was quickly brought up.

The two brothers knelt in front of Li Zong, touching their foreheads to the ground.

"Stand up straight, let me take a look." Li Zong said.

The two brothers straightened up anxiously, revealing two very similar pretty faces. In fact, they were not feminine, with delicate brows, but their expressions were too timid, and they were dressed in nondescript white clothes. Some of the funny sense of emulation.

Li Zong frowned, said: "Leave it alone." Then said: "From now on, only Tsing Yi is allowed."

The two brothers were overjoyed when they heard the words, and thanked each other repeatedly.

But on the other side, when Li Fengqi left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and walked to the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, many officials came over to talk to him.These officials are used to watching the situation. Seeing that the west wind is overwhelming the east wind again, they all came to express their goodwill and tried every means to talk to him.

Li Fengqi sneered at this, and all responded with a cold face.The official who came to show his favor bumped into a wall, so he left embarrassingly.

But there are also persistent people who try to talk to him.It's just that the topics that can be talked about have been brought up before, and they all come back. The Shouchun uncle who accosted him is a normal person, he thought about it and thought about it, but he brought up Princess Yong'an.

It happened that the Duke of Qi was not far away, so he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the prince and the Duke of Qi are also in-laws now, and the prince was recovering from illness before and he didn't see any guests, so I didn't have the chance to come to ask for a wedding drink."

"..."

As soon as he said this, there was silence all around.

No one dared to mention this marriage from the last court to the last court.Afraid of touching the mold.Unexpectedly, Uncle Shouchun was so courageous.

Everyone slowed down and looked at him stealthily.Even Ye Zhili, who was walking in front, turned his head and glanced at him inexplicably.

But Uncle Shouchun is really not a person who is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Li Fengqi did not show any signs of impatience, he felt that he had found the right topic, so he continued: "The supervisor of Si Tiantai really has some skills. , It really cured the prince's illness."

Crowd: ...

They looked fearfully at the expressionless King Yong'an, Duke Qi with a gloomy face, and at Uncle Shou Chun who was still barking non-stop. If they hadn't the guts, they really wanted to pounce on him and cover his mouth.

I really said one wrong sentence, and offended both of them to death.Ordinary people don't have this deep skill.

Some officials who had some friendship with Uncle Shouchun couldn't bear to look at him, so they secretly tugged on his sleeve, trying to tell him to shut up quickly.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Shouchun was quite unhappy, he pulled back his sleeve, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you pulling me so hard?"

That person: "..."

No one tried to tell Uncle Shouchun to shut up anymore, and they all held their breath and listened to the play with their ears closed.

After a good meal of praise, Shou Chunbo concluded: "I will also ask Si Tiantai to show me my horoscope some other day, and maybe I can find a noble person."

Ye Zhili's face turned livid: "It's just nonsense, Uncle Shou Chun should not take it too seriously."

If these words reached the emperor's ears, he would not be able to speak clearly with ten mouths.

The reason why Si Tiantai chose Ye Yunting at the beginning was because the position of son must be inherited by Ye Wang.How could it be self-defeating, King Yong'an did not die.Although the emperor has not said anything so far, if Uncle Shouchun's words reach the emperor's ears, it is inevitable that he will have some speculations about him.

"Duke Qi's words are wrong."

Li Fengqi, who had a cold face at first, suddenly raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Si Tiantai said that Yunting is the noble person of my destiny, and he complements me. After we got married, my body has become healthier day by day. How is this so? Nonsense?"

Ye Zhili choked: "This is all about the auspiciousness of the prince."

Li Fengqi sneered: "Duke Qi, don't refuse, I haven't had time to thank you yet, Yunting took good care of me during the time I was in bed."

"..." Ye Zhili's expression became more and more unspeakable when he heard the words. He was afraid that Li Fengqi would say something else and it would finally reach the emperor's ears.

Li Fengqi looked at the back of him fleeing in embarrassment, and sneered, thinking that Ye Yunting must have followed his mother when he grew up like this.

But after Ye Zhili returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

With a sullen face, he put the teacup heavily on the table: "That scoundrel, I sent him into the palace. I didn't really ask him to be a cow and a horse for King Yong'an. How will His Majesty look at me in the future?!"

"Master, why should you be angry with him?" Madam Yin stood up and patted him on the back, Mingyan's face was full of contempt: "If the eldest son doesn't know the importance, just send a letter to call him back and beat him up. He doesn't even know his family education." If you haven’t been there, how can you know the situation in the court.”

Ye Zhili thought so too, the eldest son was soft-hearted, and the nanny took care of him even when he was sick.It can't be said that after entering the palace and seeing King Yong'an's pity, he softened his heart and took care of him.

He pondered for a moment, summoned the housekeeper, and wrote a letter of greeting to him to send to the palace: "You go and invite the eldest son back to the mansion, and just say that I have something to discuss with him."

The housekeeper collected the invitation and took the order to leave.

……

When the invitation was delivered, Ye Yunting was feeding the rabbits to the hunting falcon in the yard, while Li Fengqi was sitting lazily on the side, listening to Zhu Lie's report on the affairs of the mansion—although Zhu Lie thought he had been wronged by the punishment, the mansion is indeed untrustworthy now As the person in charge, he still used his experience in rectifying the internal affairs of the Dudu Mansion to rectify the whole palace.Now I am reporting to Li Fengqi one by one.

Hearing that someone came from Duke Qi's mansion, Ye Yunting thought it was Ye Wang who came to him to beg for a falcon, but the maid who passed on said it was Xue Ping, the steward of Duke Qi's mansion.

"Xue Ping? What is he doing here?" Ye Yunting was confused when he heard the words.

Li Fengqi thought for a while, and taught Ye Yunting what he said in the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square: "It seems that Ye Zhili was angry and came to trouble you." He apologized in his eyes: "I didn't think carefully, Mr. Wait a little longer."

Ye Yunting shook his head, and asked the maid to bring him to the main courtyard to talk.

Xue Ping was quickly led to the main courtyard. He was originally waiting in the main hall, but when he didn't wait for Ye Yunting for a long time, he became a little impatient.Later, the maid said that Ye Yunting was in the main courtyard and wanted to lead him to see him, Xue Ping became a little dissatisfied.He felt that Ye Yunting was relying on King Yong'an's power to take Qiao up.

You must know that in the old mansion, Ye Yunting was the eldest son in name, but in fact his life was not as good as that of the manager.

Now he even dares to put on airs, no wonder the master is angry.

Xue Ping entered the main courtyard arrogantly, and before he saw Ye Yunting, he first saw Li Fengqi with a stern face.His heart skipped a beat, and his arrogance turned into fear.

He lowered his eyebrows and bowed obediently: "I have seen the prince."

"Duke Qi asked you to come?" Li Fengqi glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

Xue Ping raised his eyes, glanced at Ye Yunting who was sitting next to him, and regained some courage: "The Duke and Concubine have not seen each other for a long time, and miss him very much, so he ordered me to invite the Concubine over to the residence." As he spoke, he handed out the greeting card.

Li Fengqi didn't answer, and stopped Ye Yunting's outstretched hand by the way, holding it in his palm to prevent him from moving.

Ye Yunting understood what he meant, and obediently did not struggle.

"It stands to reason that the Duke of Qi misses the concubine, so I shouldn't prevent father and son from meeting." Li Fengqi raised his eyebrows and said in a drawn-out tone: "It's just that my legs are inconvenient, and I can't leave the concubine for a moment. So if the Duke of Qi and his wife really miss the concubine, call Let them go to the palace as guests and talk about it."

"I just happened to be ill before, and I lacked many etiquettes, but now I just make up for it."

Xue Ping retracted the greeting in embarrassment, with a hesitant expression on his face: "But this..."

"Why?" Li Fengqi's face darkened: "Does Qi Guogong want me, a handicapped person, to take him down?"

"Don't dare." Xue Ping was startled, and repeatedly confessed: "Your slave will go and answer."

Only then was Li Fengqi satisfied, and he waved his hand casually: "Go ahead, tell them to pick a good day and come again,"

Xue Ping wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and walked away quickly.

Ye Yunting looked at his panicked back, pursed his lips, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why does the prince have a grudge with his father, he is also Zhongshu Ling, and Zhongshu Sheng is under his hand."

"Are you still thinking about the relationship between father and son?" Li Fengqi asked back.

Ye Yunting lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly.

From the day he was reborn and was still sent to the palace, he no longer had any unrealistic expectations of Ye Zhili as his father.

"I just don't think it's necessary."

Li Fengqi clicked his tongue, and put the hand that was holding him in front of his eyes: "You see, we are a family now. We are all prosperous, and we are all damaged." He has a broad palm and slender fingers, firmly and gently Ye Yunting wrapped his hands in his palms: "Since we are a family, there is no reason for me to watch you being bullied."

He looked at Ye Yunting seriously, and said to him word by word: "I am King Yong'an, you are Princess Yong'an, you don't have to compromise, do you understand?"

Ye Yunting met his gaze, his heart trembled, his wrapped palm moved uncomfortably, and he said in a low voice, "I understand what the prince means."

"It's good to understand." Li Fengqi let go of his hand naturally, as if he was just doing something very ordinary: "You can take advantage of me, and you don't have to have any scruples."

You can take advantage of me without any scruples.

Ye Yunting savored this sentence carefully, and felt an indescribable sour feeling in his heart.

This is the first time someone has said such a thing to him since he was a child.

When he was very young, he still expected his father or mother to support him, but when he grew up and became sensible, he gradually understood how ridiculous his previous wish was.

No one will support him except himself.

So he learned early on to forbear and conceal the front, and to bear the burden of humiliation.It's because he knows that he can't be willful or cause trouble, because if something happens, no one will protect him.

He didn't expect to hear Li Fengqi say these words to him in such a situation.

I almost said to him directly: I will support you.

Ye Yunting's eyes were a little sour, but the corners of his mouth turned up: "I see."

Li Fengqi glanced at him with a smile, and patted his shoulder.

After eating the rabbit, the Saker falcon came over, squatted on the back of the chair and stuck a bird's head horizontally between the two of them, looked left and right, was glare secretly by Li Fengqi, flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, and flew away .

After Xue Ping was intimidated, he returned to the Duke's mansion, and then added more details to the matter.

Ye Zhili raised his voice in disbelief: "Let me go to the palace to talk?"

Xue Ping murmured yes.

"Sure enough, I have climbed a high branch, and my wings are stiff," Mrs. Yin sneered, "I know how to use airs to control my parents."

Ye Zhili's face was ugly. After waving Xue Ping back, he just waved his sleeves and swept down the teacup, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Okay, that's really good. As a father, if I want to see my son, I have to go to the door to ask to see him. What a shame!" very good!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Yin grabbed his arm and pulled him to sit down. While pinching his shoulders, she rolled her eyes and said, "Master, don't get so angry. In my opinion, it's not impossible to go there. It's just right Mention the matter of the son."

If King Yong'an didn't stand up, they would directly invite Ye Wang to be crowned son.But now that King Yong'an is clearly standing still, if they want to invite Ye Wang to be crowned heir, they still have to inform them, because they are concerned about King Yong'an's face.

"Forget it." Ye Zhili was overwhelmed and his mind cleared up. His eyes were cold and he said: "I want to see what other tricks this bastard has."

Mrs. Yin gently rubbed his temples: "It doesn't matter if King Yong'an supports him, the master is always his father, the father is the guide for the son, he can't get out of the sky."

Ye Zhili rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "It's up to you, you pick a day to live in the house."

Mrs. Yin agreed, and then took the maid to the backyard.

When she returned to her own yard, her face became gloomy: "How dare a bitch with a mother but not a mother dare to take Joe? If I had known this day, I should have strangled him in the first place."

"Ma'am." The serving maid looked around nervously when she heard the words, and she was relieved after making sure that there was no one around.She carefully closed the door and window, but she didn't notice that Ye Wan was covering her mouth with a surprised face under the window.

She persuaded, "Ma'am, don't say that again."

Yin Hongye stroked his chest, sat down and took a sip of tea, and said in a puzzled voice: "So what, isn't he living a good life? Besides, if it wasn't for him, King Yong'an would have died long ago, so how could Second Uncle come out?" Such a thing?!"

Ye Yunting was less than one year old when she married Ru Guogong.

She was young and soft-hearted at the time, and Ye Zhili treated her with tenderness and consideration, putting all his heart on her.In addition, not long afterward, she became pregnant with Ye Wang, so she never thought of getting rid of Ye Yunting.

Ye Yunting on the left and right is in the farthest courtyard, and they can't obstruct his eyes.

It wasn't until later that Ye Yunting grew up, and when it was time to invite the crown prince, she came back to her senses and realized that this was a roadblock.

Her Yin Hongye's son wanted the best in everything.The position of the prince of the country should naturally belong to Ye Wang.

However, although Ye Yunting has no sense of presence these years, he has never made a wrong step.According to the law of Beizhao, the title must be inherited by the eldest son, unless the eldest son dies or commits a serious fault, the title can only be inherited by the second son.

How could she let the title fall into Ye Yunting's hands?So he kept talking to Ye Zhili about the position of son.Ye Zhili also agrees that Ye Wang should inherit it, but Yin Hongye has been married to him for many years and has mentioned it many times, so you can see something strange from his answer.

She used to think that Ye Zhili belonged to the eldest son whom she hated.But later, I gradually discovered that Ye Zhili's feelings for the eldest son were very complicated, and occasionally he would visit Ye Yunting secretly, but he didn't let anyone know, even Ye Yunting himself didn't know.

Before Yin Hongye got married, she only knew something vaguely about her original wife, Mrs. Wang, but Ye Zhili's strange attitude made her suspicious of the past.

She secretly investigated, only to find out that the servants of the Duke's Mansion had changed a group and dismissed a group of old people.she found
