Involuntary

At noon the next day, Yan Xi finally opened his eyes, and saw Eunuch Zhou dozing off with his head propped up beside the bed, and sat up with a "squeak", "Eunuch Zhou?"

"Master Yan is awake." Eunuch Zhou heaved a long sigh of relief, "Yesterday the emperor brought you back to the palace, but this old slave was taken aback!"

hug?Yan Xi's face was red and her ears were hot.That's right, on the way home, when his eyes went dark, he didn't know anything. How could he meet the emperor?

"Eunuch, now... what time is it?"

"It's just noon, Master Yan, do you want to eat something? The old slave asked someone to pass on the meal." The reason why Eunuch Zhou was so impatient to pass on the meal was because Lin Rongchen hadn't eaten yet.Half an hour ago, when he came back from Wenchang Hall, Yan Xi was still awake. Eunuch Zhou asked if he wanted to pass on the meal. Lin Rongchen shook his head and said, "I haven't finished dealing with political affairs, so I'll eat later" and went back to Wenchang Hall.

How could Eunuch Zhou not know that he actually wanted to wait for Yan Xi to wake up and eat together.Pass on the meal here, and send someone to invite the emperor there.Without waiting for Lin Rongchen's order, he prepared two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and sent out all the serving palace servants.Yan Xi and him were the only ones in the huge hall.

"Yesterday..." Yan Xi wanted to ask how Lin Rongchen found him yesterday, and what happened after he brought him back?

"Why don't you eat? If something happens to you from hunger, how can Taifu feel at ease?" Lin Rongchen blocked his unspoken words in his throat.

"En." Yan Xi lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of rice.

"How many meals did you eat in Piaoxianglou?" Lin Rongchen asked casually.

Yan Xi clapped his hands, and the spicy tripe fell on the table.

"Twice." He answered truthfully with downcast eyes.

"Twice..." Lin Rongchen nodded, and asked again casually, "Do you still want to go?"

"Does the emperor think that the humble minister can not go?"

Lin Rongchen put down his chopsticks and looked at him meaningfully, "The food in Piaoxianglou is not that delicious."

"I know."

"Are you still going?"

Yan Xi smiled wryly, "I can't help myself."

"Yan Xi, do you know why you can sit here and eat at the same table as me?" Lin Rongchen sneered.

"Because of grandfather."

"That's right!" Lin Rongchen stood up, "But since you prefer Piaoxianglou's dishes, I won't keep you."

"emperor!"

Lin Rongchen paused.

Yan Xi's lack of confidence came from behind him, "Can Weichen finish this meal before leaving?"

He didn't look back, and only left two words lightly: "Up to you!"

The meal was tasteless, even so, Yan Xi still ate for nearly half an hour.

When he walked out of the Hall of Peace, Zhao Xun was standing at the door.Yan Xi thought he was coming to see Lin Rongchen, so he said: "General Zhao, the emperor is not inside."

Zhao Xun nodded, "The last general was ordered to send you back."

"Send me back?" Yan Xi's expression moved slightly, "That's unnecessary. I'm fine now, don't bother the general."

Zhao Xun followed closely behind.

Yan Xi turned around and said: "General Zhao, let's go to work! Letting you, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, send me off, is too talented and useless."

How dare Zhao Xun not listen to Lin Rongchen's words?Stubbornly said: "The last general dare not disobey the order."

"..." Yan Xi let out a long breath.

As the two went down the stairs, Zhao Xun felt a blur in the corner of his eyes, and a figure disappeared in the back of the palace very quickly. Without turning his head, he escorted Yan Xi out of the palace calmly.

Caiyun trotted all the way back to Guerlain Palace with lingering fear.

Seeing her flustered expression, Yubi asked in surprise: "What happened? Could it be that someone discovered it?"

Caiyun went smoothly.Just now she didn't see Zhao Xun turning back, or there was anything strange, it should be because she didn't notice herself.In this way, there is no need to tell Yubi, and it will only increase her worry, so she shook her head, "No, servant... I met a snake just now, and I was quite frightened, so I ran away in a hurry."

"You!" Yubi said angrily, "Be careful next time! What did you find out?"

"Master Yan fainted yesterday, the emperor brought him back." Caiyun has been staring at the two these days, feeling more and more strange. "Does your empress also feel that Lord Yan's relationship with the emperor..."

Concubine Yu hurriedly interrupted her, "Master Yan is the grandson of Taifu Li, and who knows how much the emperor respects Taifu Li? What's wrong with taking care of him more? Caiyun, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk carelessly... Be careful head!"

"What your empress said is true!" Caiyun told Yupin in detail what she had seen in the past two days.

Yubi kept twisting her handkerchief with her hands, her brows were deeply furrowed, and finally told Caiyun again, "Don't tell anyone about this."

Caiyun only said yes, and didn't ask any more questions.

After she stepped back, Concubine Yu was restless, should I tell Concubine Yi about this matter?Although she didn't have any evidence, she had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.If it's what she thinks, wouldn't she spend her whole life in this sea-deep palace for nothing?

Seeing that he was almost home, Yan Xi didn't let Zhao Xun follow him.

When he reached the door of his house, Yu Junyuan was standing in front of his door with a bowl, walking back and forth, hesitating whether to knock or not.Being bumped into by Yan Xi, she was very embarrassed, "Zi Yuan stewed a chicken, I'll serve you some..."

Yan Xi said indifferently: "Thank you, no need."

Yu Junyuan hesitated to speak.

Yan Xi tilted his head and said, "Master Yu, is there anything else?"

Yu Junyuan shook his head.

"If it's okay, Yan will go in first." He had already seen the other party's thoughts from those eyes—he was here to show his goodwill.But Yan Xi didn't want to implicate him.

"Yunxin, are you angry with me?" Yu Junyuan blurted out, he shouldn't have just watched his friend being excluded in the Imperial Academy, busy from morning to night by himself.Even if their choices are different, at least they are friends.

"Master Yu is serious, why is Yan so angry with you?" Yan Xi said nonchalantly.

"I, I..." Yu Junyuan said "I" for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Yan Xi turned around and smiled at him, "Brother Yunlin, go back! You and I are not the same way after all."

Yu Junyuan blushed, and handed the chicken soup to Yan Xi's hand, "I heard that you... fainted, you keep this, and make it up." After speaking, he turned and went back.

Yan Xi looked at the bowl full of still hot chicken soup in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Zhao Xun watched him enter the door from a distance, and then left in peace.When entering the palace gate, he met Chang Xiao, who stopped him and asked about Yan Xi.

Zhao Xun left in a hurry, and said: "Master Yan has been overworked these days, and there is no serious problem."

Chang Xiao didn't believe it, how tiring the work of the Imperial Academy could be, that it made him faint? "Could it be that there are other things? Has Mr. Yan really joined the Grand Master?"

Zhao Xun said: "I don't know. Why don't you ask him yourself!"

Ask him yourself?also good.Chang Xiao thought about asking him to talk to him another day.In this trance, Zhao Xun had disappeared.

"Sent the person back?" Lin Rongchen was holding the jug, pouring himself a drink, and it was rare to see that there was no comment.Seeing Zhao Xun come back anxiously, he asked in confusion, "What happened to him?"

"Master Yan is very good, and Master Yu brought him chicken soup. The emperor doesn't have to worry. When the general sent him back just now, he found that the Hall of Peace and Harmony seemed to be under surveillance." Misunderstood.

"Send chicken soup?" Lin Rongchen's mind was completely attracted by these three words, completely ignoring Zhao Xun's remaining words.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Xun was speechless, what time is it, and he still cares about whether to send chicken soup or not!

Lin Rongchen turned a deaf ear, but sparks sparkled in his eyes, "This Yu Junyuan dares to pester him!"

Zhao Xun raised his voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to investigate this matter?"

Lin Rongchen pursed his lips, "I don't need to check. Is Yu Junyuan and his sister going with him?"

"..." It was a chicken-and-duck conversation.Zhao Xun raised his forehead, this conversation cannot continue.

He figured it out, if he didn't explain clearly about Yan Xi's return home, Lin Rongchen would not talk to him. "Not at all. Only Lord Yu was alone. Lord Yan didn't seem to want to pick it up, so Lord Yu forced it into his hands. They didn't talk too much, and the two went back separately."

"Hmm." Lin Rongchen put down his wine glass, then turned around, "You just said that someone is watching me?"

"..." Zhao Xun didn't bother to argue with him, and said, "I can't be sure. It didn't happen before, maybe... it has something to do with Lord Yan."

Hearing Mr. Yan's three words, Lin Rongchen lost his laziness just now, raised his eyes and said, "You said that person is following Yan Xi?"

"Very likely." Because he often went in and out of the Hall of Peace, but this was the first time he found it, so it can only be said that either the man hid it too well, or he had hardly been here before.

Lin Rongchen frowned. "Has he discovered that you have noticed?"

"Not yet. What is the emperor going to do?"

Lin Rongchen said: "Don't scare the snakes. In the past few days, you send people to follow Yan Xi to see if someone is really following him. Also, go and tell Yuanzheng, and send a message to Bachelor Su of the Imperial Academy."

Those who were sent out went on for several days, but found nothing.Zhao Xun thought, since it is impossible to keep an eye on Yan Xi, then he will wait on the sidelines and send people to guard the Hall of Peace.

I don't know where He Shuyue heard that Yan Xi had fainted, and ran over in a hurry with an intriguing expression.

Seeing him, Lin Rongchen had a headache, and this man was silent. Lin Rongchen could guess what he was going to say, and preemptively said: "Last time, I asked you to investigate all the officials related to Fu Zhuo. Why is there no result yet?"

Speaking of the thorough investigation of officials, we have to advance the case of Cao Jingren, the prefect of Yangzhou, accepting bribes and selling private salt. This case not only involves the prefect of Hangzhou, but also Xiang Jiayan.

Then Cao Jingren bought a large number of salt fields in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and raised the price of salt privately to make a profit from it, just to make money for Fu Zhuo.Xiang Jiayan had always wanted to get rid of him, but in the end he thought of a way to privately buy Yantian and blame him.

It is a felony for an official to buy Yantian privately. Cao Jingren has Fu Zhuo behind him, and someone will take care of the big basket, but Xiang Jiayan is different. If he is not careful, he may lose his wife and lose his army.

How dare He Shuyue say it?He only thought of the two of them settling it in private, to make up for it.But he never thought that after Gu Tingzhi's accident, Cao Jingren was brought out, and the salt transporter was not only wrong, but also sent to prison, but because of this, Fu Zhuo made up his mind to get rid of him and hurry up.

As for other officials, if there is nothing wrong, it is useless to check it. If there is something wrong, how can it be so easy for people to catch it?The Yantian case is closed, and the rest can just focus on the northwest.

He Shuyue said: "Wei Chen has sent people to the mine to investigate."

Lin Rongchen nodded, and couldn't wait to drive him away, "If you have nothing to do, leave!"

How can He Shuyue be so easily dismissed?
