The second man is dedicated to his career

With his own life at stake, Yuan Pei's face was full of worry, and the hand on Yuan Wuji's shoulder unconsciously tightened.

In contrast to Yuan Wuji, he sat there with a leisurely attitude, even drinking some wine, his unrestrained appearance formed a sharp contrast with the anxious Yuan Pei.

Even if they are father and son, Yuan Pei was once Tanhua Lang, but at this moment, in this stark contrast, he is indeed completely compared by his son.

It's just that Yuan Shilang, who has always cared about the opinions of the outside world, can't pay attention to these things now.

Yuan Wuji brushed away Yuan Pei's hand on his shoulder calmly, and looked at Yuan Pei slightly sideways, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty also said that my father is not young, I wonder if there is something wrong." Willing to return home?"

Yuan Pei:! ! !

What does this mean, my lord?

Yuan Pei is still under forty. He feels that he is still very young and can be an official for many more years. How could he return home at this time?

Yuan Pei wanted to question his son loudly, but he still had a sliver of reason. The current situation was definitely not something he could be presumptuous, so he tried his best to suppress the tremor in his voice, but he couldn't hide the tremor in his voice: "Your Majesty is really following me like that." you said?"

What Yuanpei was worried about was, if the Holy Majesty really meant this and he didn't take the initiative to resign, would the Holy Majesty allow him to be "reported from old age"?

"Naturally." Not...

Yuan Wuji rubbed his knuckles, he deliberately caused Yuan Pei's anxiety, his character was so bad, even if it was the last time of Yuan Pei's life, he didn't want Yuan Pei to have a good time.

It's so interesting to wait anxiously for the things I'm afraid of to happen, and then find that... what's about to happen is even more terrifying than the things I've been anxiously waiting for.

Although the emperor called Yuan Wuji away for half an hour just now, in terms of the content of their conversation, the time was really not long, it could even be said to be quite short.

After some conversation, Yuan Wuji felt that the emperor was not bad and could cooperate.

Both the emperor and Yuan Wuji wanted to cut through the mess quickly, so tonight was destined to be an uneasy night.

Thinking that the emperor wanted him to retire and return to his hometown, Yuan Pei was in no mood to pester Yuan Wuji anymore, he wanted to make plans for his future.

Yuan Pei didn't think that Yuan Wuji would lie to him about this kind of thing, because this kind of lie would be exposed soon and was meaningless.

However, Yuan Pei never thought that he might not have a "tomorrow".

Seeing Yuan Pei's distraught appearance, Yuan Wuji picked up another glass of wine in a good mood.

However, before he had time to drink, the wine glass in his hand was snatched away.

"My lord, this is wine! You are not in good health, why are you still drinking?"

Yuan Wuji was silent for a while, at today's banquet, there is wine but no tea, isn't he trying to make ends meet?

Yuan Wuji just wanted Mao Mao to return the wine glass to him, but Mao Mao drank the wine in his glass one step ahead of him.

Yuan Wuji: "..."

If Xiaotan hadn't been ordered by him to go out to do errands, he really didn't want to bring Maomao out.

This kind of behavior of Mao Mao obviously attracted the attention of others at once. In addition, he choked on drinking for the first time and coughed non-stop, which attracted even more attention.

Yuan Wuji asked him to stand behind him and hide in the darkness.

These royal relatives, dignitaries and dignitaries knew what Yuan Wuji was looking at, they just felt that he was worthy of being raised outside, and even the servants around him were so ignorant of the rules.

Yuan Wuji doesn't care about these, as long as the people around him don't betray him, he doesn't care about others.

The banquet hadn't officially started yet, so the emperor's noble concubine was the last to arrive, and the others arrived almost there, and the old lady Yuan obviously didn't want to wait any longer.

Yuan Wuji looked at the maid in front of him, and said with doubts: "Grandma asked you to come here?"

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, the old lady is a little unwell and asks you to go over there."

The servant girl didn't seem to be worried that Yuan Wuji would not go there, anyway, since Yuan Wuji gave gifts at the old lady Yuan's birthday banquet last time, everyone knew that Yuan Wuji was filial.

A good reputation is also a double-edged sword. No matter how arrogant Yuan Wuji is at home, he still has to maintain his filial image outside.

Yuan Wujiyuan also planned to go, after all, the game can only proceed if he goes.

But he still has to delay it to let more people know.

"Grandma is not feeling well, so I should ask a doctor to see her. I don't know much about medicine. No matter how bad it is, the female relatives should go there. What can I do as a man?"

A bit of doubt appeared on Yuan Wuji's face at the right time, and then he asked kindly: "Do you need me to call Aunt Zhang for you?"

"No, no, no, the old lady is still waiting for you, son, hurry up and have a look!"

As soon as Yuan Wuji said that he wanted to call Mrs. Zhang, the maid became anxious and urged Yuan Wuji to go over quickly.

Perhaps because of what happened just now, everyone paid more attention to Yuan's side, but now many people cast curious eyes.

Yuan's family is now in the capital, so it can be regarded as the center of the topic. In just a few days, many things have happened.

As soon as Yuan Wuji followed the maid, many people started talking about it.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you don't call the doctor or the female relatives. Instead, you call the eldest grandson of such a sick man. It's really interesting."

"Who doesn't know that everyone in the Yuan family doesn't like this eldest son, and this eldest son is really pitiful. If Princess Lin, who died young, knew that her only child was being bullied like this, I don't know if she would regret marrying him. Wrong person. Just watch, I always feel like something is going to happen?"

"Have you noticed that the young master of the Yuan family didn't attend today, hasn't the young master of the Yuan family always been the treasure of the Yuan family?"

Several officials and wives gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

Anyway, the imperial concubine is not here now, so they can discuss freely.

It has to be said that during this period of time, the Yuan family really provided them with a lot of chatter after dinner.

On the other side, Yuan Wuji followed the maidservant, only feeling that the path under her feet was getting more and more deviated, and she was always on guard in her heart.

"Eldest son..."

The maid suddenly turned her head and spilled something at Yuan Wuji.

Yuan Wuji, who had been prepared for a long time, slapped the fan in his hand, and the medicinal powder spilled by the maid all reacted on himself.

Looking at the servant girl who instantly fainted on the ground, Yuan Wuji was silent for a long time. He thought there was some clever trick, but in the end... that's it?

The effect of the medicine is quite good, but people are a bit stupid...

"Master Yuan."

The killer of the Shaxue League came over and said that in the rockery cave in front, there was a woman who had been stripped of her coat lying there, and she seemed to have passed out.

"That woman is the concubine of the prime minister's family, she is..."

The killer took a look at Yuan Wuji. Although the killers were all expressionless and seemed to have no emotions, Yuan Wuji clearly felt the killer's pity at the moment.

"Your grandmother found someone to stun her, and you are going to stun her too, take off your clothes, and bring a group of officials and wives over to watch later."

Yuan Wuji: "..."

Although Yuan Wuji already knew that the old lady Yuan used to use such dirty tricks, but at this moment, he still felt that the Yuan family was really rotten from the root.

The concubine of the prime minister's family is also very miserable, just like that, she was targeted by the old lady Yuan.

Her affairs in the inner house were actually used in the palace, and it was at the banquet held by the noble concubine...

The old lady Yuan can't hide from Da Yuan Wuji just by thinking about causing trouble, but hasn't she ever thought that if the imperial concubine's banquet is ruined, will the imperial concubine still have any good feelings for the Yuan family?

"Send that girl back. Besides, my good grandmother... has it been arranged?"

The Killer of the Shaxue League was silent for a while, and his usually expressionless face seemed to twitch again.

As expected of a grandparent and grandson, the grandmother wanted to let the grandson bear the infamy of ruining other girls, and then had to marry an unfavorable concubine, so that he would lose the possibility of profiting from the marriage. Huan Guan found a young lady, and it was really a good "milk, kindness, grandson and filial piety".

Seeing that the killer in front of him didn't respond for a long time, Yuan Wuji asked again: "Is there a problem?"

"no problem."

They are killers who take money to do things, so what's the problem?

Yuan Wuji looked at the killer's disappearing figure, only felt that there was something wrong with the security of the palace, so many guards could still make these killers feel like no one was there, no wonder there were so many assassinations of the emperor.

Yuan Wuji did not go back, but went directly to the emperor.If he went back right now, it would be a difficult start to the good show.

The emperor didn't find it strange to see Yuan Wuji go back and forth.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Nothing, let Your Majesty hide here for a while, I have nowhere to go for now!"

It can be said that Yuan Wuji was quite rude, but the emperor was not angry, instead he looked at him with a smile and said, "You really look like your mother, she was like this back then, and she will be punished by her parents Then, hide in my palace."

The expression on the emperor's face when he said this was obviously nostalgic for that time.

Yuan Wuji didn't answer the words, the emperor's feelings are the most untrustworthy, Yuan Wuji understood this truth since he was a child.

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you, after all, she is my own sister."

Withdrawing his nostalgic look, the expression on the emperor's face became severe.

Back then, the struggle for the heir apparent was very serious. As an ideal and aspiring emperor, the emperor could only turn a blind eye to many things, let the country develop and strengthen first, and concentrate on consolidating the power in his hands.

When the power is concentrated in his own hands, he will settle the accounts that need to be settled one by one.

The arrival of Yuan Wuji at this moment means that the emperor wanted to sleep, so he handed him a pillow. How could the emperor not like this nephew?

The Yuan family, King Xian, and his good aunt...

It's time to let them know who is the real master of this country.

"Wuji, you go with me, the fun is about to begin."

"Yes."

In front of the emperor, Yuan Wuji was neither humble nor overbearing.

He just regarded the emperor as a collaborator, nothing more.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang saw that the old lady Yuan hadn't come back for a long time. She felt that if this went on like this, there would be no way to start the show, so she didn't care about waiting for the old lady Yuan to come back, and started her own part first.

Mrs. Zhang said that Yuan Wuji had disappeared, and wanted everyone to help find her. She looked anxious, as if she was really a loving mother.

Although many people didn't think Zhang would really care about Yuan Wuji, but she wanted to act like this, and many officials' wives also cooperated with her, and wanted to see what kind of tricks were playing behind this.

Seemingly searching aimlessly, Mrs. Zhang led people to the rockery intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing the rustling sound coming from the cave, Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face, she just pretended to be a little more real with that anxious expression.

"There seems to be movement over there, let's go and have a look."

Mrs. Zhang led a group of people over. In her original idea, what she should see at this time was the disheveled and untraceable concubine daughter of the prime minister's family.

However, what she saw in front of her greatly exceeded her expectations, and the scene was quite impactful.

I saw the old lady Yuan took off her coat and was hugged in a man's arms.The man looked a little powdery, but he was young and good-looking.

Someone couldn't help but let out an exclamation, but immediately covered their mouths.

Strange things happen every year, but such shocking pictures are really rare.

The original old lady, who was about to be buried in half her body, was so good at playing, she found a young lady to accompany her, and what was even more frightening was that this was in the palace, how did she bring this young lady here?

At this time, it doesn't matter whether the old lady had a relationship with Xiao Guan or not, what matters is the series of problems behind this incident.

Zhang's face turned pale in an instant. The old lady of the Yuan family did such a thing, which made outsiders think of their Yuan family.

If this matter were replaced by Yuan Wuji, at most the children who grew up outside did not understand the rules, and the matter of marrying a girl would probably be settled, but if it were the old lady Yuan, the nature of the matter would be completely different .In particular, this man's identity is still a young lady in the entertainment hall.

what is going on?What about the original trace?

Mrs. Zhang quickly asked someone to help the old lady Yuan up, and then asked the maid beside her to restrain the young man. She asked sharply, "Who told you to do this?"

"It's not who made the slave do this. The old lady said she likes the slave, but the slave just..."

"Nonsense! Give me a slap!"

Mrs. Zhang hastily stopped Xiao Guan, and if he asked him to continue, the reputation of the old lady Yuan might be completely ruined.

Seeing that this farce was about to fail, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly came: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone knelt down to greet the emperor.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Flat body."

The emperor's majestic voice sounded, and the wives of all the officials and wives slowly got up, but they all began to secretly hate Mrs. Zhang in their hearts.They were all brought here by Mrs. Zhang. I thought it was just for fun, but now it seems that they have fallen into a part of someone's plan...

It’s okay if you’re just a spectator, but if you’re silenced because you’re unfortunate enough to fall into a royal mystery…how can you justify it?

These officials and wives were just afraid, but Mrs. Zhang trembled all over.

The Zhang family didn't even dare to look directly at the emperor, now something like this happened to the Yuan family.If one is bad, the whole family of the original family may suffer.

Just when she didn't know where to place her eyes, she saw Yuan Wuji standing beside the emperor.

In an instant, a chill spread all over his body.

Something seemed to have crossed Zhang's mind, she seemed to understand everything, but also seemed to understand nothing.

Yuan Wuji, who should have been fascinated and lying in the cave, was beside the emperor, but the old lady Yuan who planned all this was lying in the cave...

So from the beginning, Yuan Wuji knew all their plans?Even... all the bureaus were set up by him.
