"The people sent by His Majesty were killed by bandits who didn't know the situation. Fortunately, the king's people passed by there on a mission, buried several adults, and brought back the younger brother." said.

Then, he looked sideways at Yi Xiu, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Is that so? Junior brother."

Yi Xiu glanced at him, then turned to look at the father-in-law who was waiting for the answer, and said indifferently: "It is indeed as the regent said."

The father-in-law got the answer given by Yi Xiu, bowed to the regent and saluted again, then turned and left quickly.

Although the father-in-law also knew that this reason was probably false, but the fact that those people died must be true, and that was enough.

After the father-in-law left.

Yixiu raised his foot and wanted to leave.

But was pulled back by Qin Yi next to him, "Junior Brother, are you going to Hubu Shangshu Mansion?"

Yi Xiu frowned, staring at the hand holding his wrist, "Let go, it's none of your business where I go." His voice was cold.

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Why don't you care about this king? Junior brother, do you know that the Minister of the Household Department is clearly a royalist party. You are my king's guest, and you are also my king's junior. At that time, if you went to the Hubu Shangshu's mansion openly, what would you think if you were seen by outsiders? Or, junior brother, do you want to meet the Hubu Shangshu father and son and share a family relationship?"

Yi Xiu frowned even tighter, "What do you want?" He didn't come here to treat the emperor, but since he came, he planned to meet his mother by the way, have a good talk with her, and persuade her to agree. He left Shengjing with himself and went to live in Tianyou Valley.

As for Hubu Shangshu, since he didn't care whether he had his own son, he didn't bother to express his filial piety, so he assumed his father had died long ago.

Qin Yi let go, then patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Your mother is qualified to attend tonight's banquet, so you won't be able to see her then? Why go in such a hurry, why not get along with Brother Wei first Talk about the old days."

What can I tell you, Yi Xiu glanced at him, although he didn't speak, but Qin Yi clearly interpreted the meaning from his eyes.

Qin Yi pretended to be helpless and said: "Well, since the younger brother doesn't want to reminisce about the past with Brother Wei, then Brother Wei has no choice but to send someone to the Minister of the Household Department to have a look..."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Xiu said, "I think." His tone was a bit colder.

Qin Yi looked puzzled and said, "What do you think?"

Yi Xiu: "" Paused, and said word by word: "I also miss senior brother very much, and I want to catch up with senior brother now."

If possible, Yi Xiu would like to sprinkle poison on Qin Yi. What he hates the most is people like Qin Yi, who use power to oppress others, and use other people's weaknesses as bargaining chips.

However, in this city of Shengjing, even the emperor couldn't do anything to Qin, let alone a man with no foundation.For the sake of his mother's safety, what else could he say besides gritting his teeth and accepting it?

Only then did Qin Yi show a smile, and stretched out his hand to pull Yi Xiu, "Hey, wouldn't it be great if Junior Brother told the truth earlier? Let's go, I have already ordered people to prepare tea and rice, what's the matter, let's talk about it after lunch .”

Yi Xiu said silently, when he received his mother, he would leave Shengjing immediately, and he would not have to see Qin Yi's annoying face again. He felt a little better, and followed Qin Yi to leave.

House of Ministers of the Household Department.

"Ahem, master, why are you here?" In a remote and dilapidated courtyard, Shen Qingxun, the first wife of Shangshu Hubu, looked at Shangshu Hubu who came over suddenly, covered his mouth with his hand, coughed violently, his eyes asked happily.

The name of the Minister of the Household Department is An Wenxuan, in his 40s, tall and thin, with the appearance of an elegant gentleman with two sleeves.

As a matter of fact, An Wenxuan had indeed been ranked second in the top three examinations, with outstanding literary talent.But unfortunately, the officialdom is a very testing place, especially in such a lucrative department as the Ministry of Household Affairs.

An Wenxuan looked away slightly, looked at his wife with some fear, and said very fast: "The emperor is holding a banquet tonight, and I plan to take Wanran and the three of them there. Said that I doted on my concubine and killed my wife. When you recover, I will take you there next time."

Shen Qingxun gave a wry smile, spoiling concubines and destroying wives?What's the difference between your current practice and this? Give up the pavilion where the main wife lives to the concubine's room. Except for these banquets, he will come to tell her every time and let her say that he is seriously ill, so the concubine's room will participate. Stepped into this small courtyard.

Shen Qingxun lowered her eyes and said softly, "Okay, I will hand over the post earlier."

An Wenxuan glanced at his married wife with complicated eyes, "You have a good rest, I still have some work to do, so I'll go back first." After speaking, he walked away quickly.

The deserted courtyard suddenly returned to its former tranquility.

Shen Qingxun sighed lightly, and his voice was erratic: "Qiu'er."

Royal Palace.

The emperor sat on the high seat, looked coldly at the still vacant seats below, and said in a cold voice mixed with a trace of anger, "The regent hasn't come yet?"

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch's singing promise outside the palace came in: "The regent is here."

In an instant, all the officials turned their eyes to the palace gate, completely ignoring the emperor, but the emperor didn't bother to care about it at this time, because his eyes were fixed on the man in white who was following the regent.

Yi Xiu followed Qin Yi, one step behind him, his eyes were indifferent, and he ignored all kinds of sights cast on him.

If it wasn't for the guy who claimed to be a system who kept nagging in his ears, making him upset, and his mother would also be at the banquet, he wouldn't have the time to attend such a boring banquet.

Qin Yi walked to the front seat and took a seat. He glanced at an empty seat opposite him, and with a clear mind, he tilted his head and smiled and said to Yi Xiu: "Junior brother, you can sit next to this king." Don't see if you have the ability.

Yi Xiu was slightly taken aback, this seat should be occupied by the family members.Is it appropriate for him to sit here?

Before Yi Xiu could think about whether to sit down, the emperor above had a cold look in his eyes, smiled slightly, looked at Yi Xiu below and said: "Uncle Huang really knows how to joke, this seat should be for the wife of the emperor, genius doctor I have already arranged the seat, the genius doctor please take a seat. After the banquet is over, I still have something to discuss with the genius doctor."

Seeing the emperor and the regent fighting each other, all the ministers were like quails, not even daring to raise their heads. Only the Minister of the Household Department took a slight look at Yi Xiu who caused the dispute. As the emperor's confidant, he naturally knew about the miracle doctor.

But why does this miracle doctor look so familiar? Has he seen it before?
