After Jiajing gave all the detailed instructions, Yan Song and Xu Jie resigned.
At this moment, Lu Fang stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"Your Majesty, are you temporarily staying in this side hall tonight, or are you going to..."
Before Lu Fang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiajing, who waved his hand and gave the order.
"Lu Fang, if you go to Ganlu Palace now, tell me that I will temporarily stay in Ganlu Palace for the next period of time."
"I might as well take this opportunity to spend time with Mrs. Shen and the child in her belly!"
When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's instructions, she couldn't hide the joy on her face and quickly responded.
"As you command, Your Majesty, I will go right away!"
After Lu Fang finished speaking, she hurriedly left the room.
Jiajing looked at Lu Fang's leaving figure, shook his head, picked up the formation secret book that he had put aside before, and began to study it carefully.
…
Along the way, Lu Fang was traveling very fast. Even when the eunuchs and maids saluted him, he ignored them flawlessly. He just wanted to quickly tell the Emperor's Concubine Shen the good news!
Lu Fang, as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch in charge of the Printing, not only held great power, but also was the closest person to the emperor.
Therefore, many people want to use various means to get closer to Lu Fang, and then get the emperor's first-hand updates through him!
However, Lu Fang was quite cautious about this aspect, and no matter how attractive the price offered by the other party, he could not be moved.
He knew in his heart that the emperor's trust in him was based on his absolute loyalty. If he agreed to these people's conditions, just once or twice, over time, the emperor would definitely doubt his loyalty.
Once suspicion arises, the rift between the two parties will only grow wider, and soon he will be replaced by an ambitious newcomer.
As a eunuch, all he can give is his own loyalty, and loyalty is the cheapest thing for the emperor!
The reason why Lu Fang was so enthusiastic was because he saw unlimited possibilities in the imperial concubine Shen and her unborn child.
As the person closest to Jiajing, Lu Fang was very keenly aware of Jiajing's dissatisfaction with King Yu and King Jing.
Needless to say, King Jing had no chance of becoming the crown prince from the very beginning!
As for Prince Yu, he was too weak, and he was too involved with Qingliu, so he was excluded from the position of crown prince by Jiajing.
In fact, the alliance between King Yu and Qingliu has always been tacitly approved by Jiajing.
Jiajing's original intention was for King Yu to learn how to govern the country from Xu Jie and others.
Who would have known that during this process, King Yu gradually forgot his position. From the moment he put Qingliu's interests first, he completely lost the possibility of being the crown prince!
Lu Fang shook her head, as if to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in her mind. After calming down, Lu Fang entered the Manna Palace.
…
"Mother, Eunuch Lu is waiting outside!"
"Well, let him in."
After listening to the report from the personal maid, the Imperial Concubine Shen ordered softly.
"Yes, concubine!"
After the maid responded, she left the hall.
After the personal maid left, Shen held her chin and put the embroidery in her hand aside, and began to think about the reason why Lu Fang came to Ganlu Palace this time.
After a while, Lu Fang entered the hall under the leadership of her personal maid.
"This slave has met your empress!"
As soon as Lu Fang entered the hall, she respectfully saluted Mr. Shen.
Shen nodded, signaled Lu Fang to stand up, and immediately asked.
"Well, Eunuch Lu, please get up!"
"You are here this time, but what are your orders from His Majesty?"
When Lu Fang saw Mrs. Shen asking about this, she immediately smiled and responded.
"Empress, this servant is following His Majesty's order and is here to inform you that His Majesty will be staying at the Manna Palace in the near future!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen's face was full of disbelief, and she immediately asked.
"What, Eunuch Lu, are you telling the truth?"
Facing Shen's inquiry, Lu Fang did not dare to hide anything, so she had to answer honestly.
"Yes, concubine!"
"This morning, the Yangxin Hall where His Majesty lives was suddenly struck by lightning, causing a large hole to appear on the Yangxin Hall. It is temporarily uninhabitable. Just now..."
Before Lu Fang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Shen. His face was full of worry and he asked questions repeatedly.
"What about Your Majesty? Nothing happened to Your Majesty?"
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty is fine!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Fang immediately responded respectfully.
After receiving the news from Lu Fang that Jiajing was fine, Mrs. Shen felt relieved.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang, with a look of gratitude on his face.
"I'm here to help Eunuch Lu!"
"I don't dare, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!"
Lu Fang saw this and quickly declined.
Immediately, Mr. Shen summoned his maid, and after whispering a few words in her ear, the maid left.
When she came back again, she was holding a wooden tray filled with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry and silver notes.
Imperial Concubine Shen smiled slightly, then turned her gaze to Lu Fang and said.
"It's a small gift, but it's not respectful. I hope my father-in-law will accept it!"
When Lu Fang saw this, she quickly waved her hand and declined.
"My queen, you don't have to be polite. If there is anything you need to do in the future, just tell me!"
"As for these things, there is no need for them!"
Seeing that Lu Fang's attitude was quite firm, Shen didn't force it anymore and gave up the idea.
Lu Fang knew very well that if she accepted these things, the nature of the whole thing would change and become an exchange of equal value, and all her previous efforts would be in vain!
Seeing that her mission for this trip had been completed, Lu Fang was unwilling to delay any longer and immediately said goodbye to Mrs. Shen.
"Your Majesty, I still have things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Well, thank you for your work, father-in-law!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen nodded, then called her personal maid and gave instructions.
"Myolie, go see Eunuch Lu off!"
"yes!"
After responding, Shen's personal maid came to Lu Fang and said respectfully.
"Eunuch Lu, please!"
"Um."
Lu Fang nodded and immediately followed the maid's footsteps and left the room.
Soon, the imperial concubine Shen was the only one left in the huge hall. Her cheeks were slightly red and she kept murmuring.
"Your Majesty is going to live in Ganlu Palace, hehe..."
And the moment she walked out of the Manna Palace, Lu Fang couldn't hide the smile on her face!
He knew that his long-standing plan had been partially successful, and he had successfully left a good impression on the imperial concubine Shen.
"Empress, you have to let the child in your belly be born smoothly!"
"I, Lu Fang, have bet the rest of my life on him!"
Lu Fang suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart and immediately embarked on her way home.
…
"Your Majesty, your servant has brought the message!"
As soon as Lu Fang entered, he knelt on the ground and reported respectfully to Jiajing.
"Well, Lu Fang, you did a good job on this matter. Next, I need you to do one more thing."
After listening to Lu Fang's report, Jiajing nodded with satisfaction and immediately gave instructions.
When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, she immediately looked stern and responded in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, just give your orders to your slaves. Even if your slaves are shattered to pieces, they will still do what you ask them to do!"
After hearing Lu Fang's response, Jiajing chuckled and continued.
"Don't worry, this is just a small thing."
After Jiajing finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then continued.
"I want you to send someone to spread the news that I will temporarily reside in the Manna Palace in the near future."
"In addition, we must pay attention to the entire process and not leave any clues. Do you understand?"
After listening to Jiajing's instructions, Lu Fang nodded immediately and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well!"
