Ruyi Jue

Chapter 44

Yun Lian couldn't help laughing mockingly again: "So this girl is really important to you."

"Well," Shen Yufeng was so focused on his next move that he didn't notice his strange tone, and said sternly, "Although we met by chance, Brother Zhao trusts me so much, I can't just watch his only family member suffer. What's more The matter of the Sixth Prince has a lot to do with the foundation of the society, and since I have encountered it, I can't ignore it."

Hearing this, Yun Lian's mind was moved, he turned his head to look at his side face in a daze, and sighed for a long time: "I should have known that you have such a temperament. Well, come with me."

They made an appointment with the Fang family brothers on the location and method, and in the afternoon of that day, Yun Lian brought Shen Yufeng into the palace in clean clothes.

The palace was heavily guarded, and Yun Lian was carrying a token that he did not know where he got it, and he went all the way without hindrance, even without getting out of the carriage, and just led him into the deep palace compound in such a blatant manner.

Facing Shen Yufeng's surprised eyes, he smiled and said: "A few months ago, I did something for the sixth prince to enter the palace, and bumped into the Holy One by mistake. The Holy Majesty appreciated me very much, so he gave me a palace order. Tell me to enter the palace at will."

Shen Yufeng nodded: "It seems that you are doing well."

Yun Lian smiled on his lips: "Yes, I don't know if it's luck or misfortune."

They drove the carriage into the majestic imperial city, and drove on the deep palace road. Yun Lian sat in the car, and suddenly through the curtain of the car, he whispered to him: "Yu Feng, you have to get ready next."

"What?" Shen Yufeng, who was driving on the road, was taken aback.

Yun Lian lowered his voice and asked, "How much do you know about this current Holy Majesty?"

"Not much." Shen Yufeng shook his head and said, he didn't know much about official affairs, he only knew that the young emperor who lived in the palace lost his father when he was young, and his mother when he was young, and he was able to clear it up with the help of the sixth prince and the princes. My relatives, ascending to the throne, are only eighteen or nineteen years old now.

Yun Lian said: "That's right, the sixth prince is the emperor's uncle, who is also in charge of the government and the inner palace. It may not be able to play the biggest role if it is handed in.”

Shen Yufeng shook his head: "No matter what, you should give it a try."

Yun Lian smiled, and after a while, the carriage drove to a palace in the imperial city, and a small official from the Huang family happened to pass by their carriage, Yun Lian immediately got out of the carriage with a smile, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun , long time no see."

"Lord Yun, long time no see." Eunuch Sun seemed to have a good relationship with Yun Lian, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty still mentioned you to me from time to time, saying why Master Yun didn't come back for months after he left Chang'an."

"Going out on behalf of the prince, and took care of some chores." Yun Lian explained this in a vague way, and then said: "Eunuch, I have something to see the Holy One."

That Eunuch Sun's eyes fell on Shen Yufeng, he didn't ask much, just nodded, and said with a smile: "Please, the Holy Majesty is reviewing the memorial in Luanyi Hall."

The two of them got out of the carriage and followed the Eunuch Sun into the inner palace hall. On the way, Yun Lian was still talking to Eunuch Sun intermittently, saying some polite words, but when they entered the Luanyi Palace, suddenly All the voices disappeared, and Eunuch Sun also changed his talkative style, and just led the way quietly in front, not daring to show his air.

He led them into a pavilion, and after bypassing two screens, a magnificent inner hall appeared, and there was a bright yellow table in the center of the inner hall, one of them was sitting high in the bright hall.

Before Shen Yufeng could see the face of the man above him clearly, he saw Eunuch Sun making a gesture with his back to the two of them. From the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Lian bowing his head and knelt down unhurriedly, and then followed Kneel on the ground together.With his head lowered, he saw the blurred reflection sitting behind the bright yellow table from the gilt slate.

Eunuch Sun bowed and said, "My lord, Lord Yun is here."

"Well, Aiqing is back?" The youthful voice of the young emperor sounded above them, "This is—?"

"Your Majesty," Yun Lian lowered his head, "This is the owner of Ruyi Villa, Shen Yufeng. He said that he has urgent information about the border. We Chen brought him to see His Majesty and presented it to His Majesty."

"What's the matter?" The emperor's voice was somewhat surprised.

Yun Lian shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance, and the Holy One will be pushed back."

"Oh? What's so mysterious about the information?" The young emperor's tone became a bit interested, and he called out all the palace servants who were serving him, leaving only the Eunuch Sun to serve him.

Shen Yufeng received Yun Lian's gaze, took out the ledger from his arms, and handed it to Eunuch Sun.

After the emperor took it, he began to turn over the pages one by one.

Shen Yufeng lowered his head, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. The bedroom was so quiet that needles could be dropped, and sandalwood was wafting in the air. He could only hear the sound of pages being turned.

After about half an hour, the emperor finished flipping through the ledger, tapped the buttons on the table lightly with his fingers, fell silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Are all the accounts recorded on it true?"

Shen Yufeng replied: "Yes, these are all written by the Sixth Prince. Not only did he collude with the enemy and treason, but in order to destroy the evidence, he also faked the death of the eldest son who sent a letter from Turkic."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Shen Yufeng, do you know how much impact this thing will have on the entire court once it is exposed."

"I know." Shen Yufeng said in a low voice, "That's the way to do it."

The emperor gave a faint "hmm" and asked again: "Did anyone else see you on the way here?"

Yun Lian said: "My Majesty, apart from the guards of the imperial city, no one else knows that we are entering the palace."

The emperor said: "Well, that's good, you—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps slowly coming from outside the hall, the young emperor suddenly changed his words, raised his head and said with surprise: "Uncle Emperor, you are here!"

Shen Yufeng, who was kneeling below, was shocked when he heard the "Uncle Emperor".

Who is this person called "Uncle Emperor" by the emperor?

Could it be the sixth prince?

However, what surprised him even more was that the next sentence of the day was: "Uncle Emperor, look, here is an account book, which is written as evidence of your collusion with foreign enemies, isn't it ridiculous?"

Shen Yufeng was even more shocked, and couldn't help raising his head, his face full of astonishment.

The legendary sixth prince came to the inner hall and stood in front of the bright yellow desk. Not only was he not a sycophant with a violent face as described by Hong Lian, on the contrary, he was kind-hearted, with a smile on his lips, He is a kind-looking middle-aged man, with long eyebrows like flying temples, and bright eyes like pearls, which can vaguely show the extraordinary demeanor of his youth.

The Sixth Prince glanced at the ledger and said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, these are all nonsense from the people, and they are not credible."

"I think so," the emperor's voice suddenly became soft and quick, like a naive child who doesn't know the difficulties of the world, "These people in the rivers and lakes like to tell stories and provoke the relationship between the heavenly family."

Shen Yufeng couldn't help saying loudly: "Your Majesty, what the grassroots said is true, and there is absolutely no fiction. Please send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

The Sixth Prince frowned deeply, and shouted: "Bold, how can you allow me to make noise in front of the emperor? Someone, take him down!"

Yun Lian hurriedly said: "Please calm down, my lord. This is my friend. It's my fault. I didn't teach him the rules of the palace and offended His Majesty. Please forgive us once."

"Since the Yunqing family interceded for him, that's all." The emperor threw the account book in front of Shen Yufeng, and said with a smile, "The Yunqing family should take him out, and don't bring such people into the palace in the future."

Yun Lian bowed and said, "Yes." Meeting Shen Yufeng's angry eyes, he pulled him out of Luanyi Hall, "Yu Feng, let's go."

Shen Yufeng refused to move a step like a stubborn bull that was headed to death and never turned back. After being pulled by him several times, he reluctantly dragged him out of the palace gate. , rushed out of the imperial city angrily.

Yun Lian followed behind him every step of the way, and suddenly laughed loudly: "How? I just say it's useless?"

Shen Yufeng stopped in his tracks, and said angrily, "I never thought that this emperor would be such a stupid person. No wonder he allowed an ambitious man like the Sixth Prince to control the court!"

Yun Lian laughed louder.

Shen Yufeng stared at him displeased.

Seeing that he seemed to be really angry, Yun Lian stopped laughing, with a slight smile still on his lips: "It's really wrong for the emperor to do this, but the word fatuous is an exaggeration."

Shen Yufeng frowned: "What?"

"Didn't you find something wrong? Just now, the little emperor was obviously flipping through the ledger very seriously. Why did his whole attitude change when the sixth prince came in?"

Shen Yufeng thought about it for a while: "You mean—"

Yun Lian said: "I think this little emperor wants to get rid of the sixth prince's control and monopolize the imperial power, but after all, he is young and has little knowledge, so he can only swallow his anger and hide his strength."

Fu laughed again: "Oh, at first I thought he gave me the right to freely enter and leave the palace, and he wanted to win me over from the Sixth Prince, but he knew that I was from the Sixth Prince, but he just wanted to win me over every time. I didn't mention this matter when I entered the palace, I couldn't understand it before, but now it seems that this little emperor is really tolerant."

Seeing Shen Yufeng frowning, his smile became even brighter: "Yu Feng, I have already said that according to your temperament, it is not suitable to participate in these intrigues at all. It is still too late for you to retreat now."

Shen Yufeng just stared straight at him, seeing that Yun Lian was calm and unmoved, and after a while, he sighed a long time: "You're right, I'm too stupid."

It's not like he doesn't understand the power of the Sixth Prince, how could he pin his only hope on a young man who is not yet a weak crown?It's just that after seeing Hong Lian's suffering, he was so excited for a moment that he didn't care whether the sixth prince would find out his target, so he went straight into the palace, and that's how he came out today.

Yun Lian looked at him deeply, and said: "How come, you are the most sincere person in the world, how can you not understand these principles? You clearly don't bother to understand."

Shen Yufeng let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it."

Yun Lian smiled happily, and slowly approached him with his hands behind his back, putting his shoulders on his shoulders: "Okay, okay, Master Shen has lost his temper, so it's time to go back with me."

"Where?"

"Of course you're going back to my house," Yun Lian said with a look of course, "When you come to Chang'an, why don't you stay at my house?"

Shen Yufeng was still reluctant, so he dragged him away: "Let's go, don't worry, the Yun family has plenty of houses for you to live in."

***

Because the method of attacking the emperor would not work, he immediately lost all plans for the next action, so he could only follow Yun Lian out of the palace and return to Yun's house.

As soon as he returned to Yun's house, Yun Lian was stumped by business matters, so he temporarily told the housekeeper to treat Shen Yufeng well, and hurried out.

Shen Yufeng didn't take it seriously, he had lived in Yun's house for several months when he was a child, and he was no stranger to Yun's house, Dafang Fang lived in Yun's house, thinking hard about the way to rescue Hong Lian, while guarding against the sixth prince who sent someone to secretly steal the account book However, maybe it was because the sixth prince didn't dare to do anything at the emperor's feet, or maybe he was afraid of his skill, the past few days in Yun's house had been peaceful, and no one came to attack late at night.

What's even more surprising is that in the past few days, officials from the imperial court or royal relatives and nobles have come to Yun's house to pay their respects, and they didn't even look for anyone, just specifically looking for him by name.He was very puzzled, but when asked about the purpose of these people's visit, they faltered and hawed, so that he still could not get a clear answer.

There was even a time when even the old prime minister came to Yun's house in a sedan chair tremblingly, and asked him about Zizai City.

He didn't want to reveal more inside information, but he didn't want to drive people away with a cold face, so he had to say a few casual words in order to send these powerful people away.

He was confused at the beginning, but after the prime minister left, he sat in the yard and thought carefully, and suddenly his mind turned: These dignitaries may have known that he held the account book of the sixth prince, and came to him to inquire about the news .

When Yun Lian dealt with the business matters and finally returned to Yun's house, he told him about it, and finally he wondered, "How did they know about it?"

Yun Lian said, "Perhaps the news has leaked somewhere."

Shen Yufeng guessed: "Perhaps it was the sixth prince's work?"

Could it be that the sixth prince wanted to test his motive?

"How would I know?" Yun Lian replied nonchalantly, "Next time someone comes, just ask the butler to help you drive them away."

However, because there were too many people coming to the door, even Yun Lian was annoyed. In the middle of the night on the fifth day, he simply ordered someone to collect some clothes and asked Shen Yufeng to go out with him.

"Where are you going?" Shen Yufeng asked in a daze.

Yun Lian looked at him strangely: "Now that the Yun family has exposed its target, should we continue to stay here?"
