In early April, the weather in Chang'an City was beautiful, the peach blossoms were about to fade, but the peonies were about to bloom.
There were several coughs in the courtyard. Xue Bai waited for Li Linfu to calm down and said, "The right minister is also going to the Taichi Banquet in the middle of the month?"
"I'm certainly among those invited."
"Won't the Right Prime Minister lose his mind at the royal banquet?"
"You want me to decline on the grounds that I am busy with official duties?" Li Linfu said, "There are already rumors in the court that I am ill. If I don't go by then, my status will be lost."
At this point, his eyes became anxious and lost the stern look he had in the past. This was the time when he was most likely to get sick.
Xue Bai has better understood some of the patterns of Li Linfu's illness. First, he is in bad health. He suffered from wind and cold in winter for four months, and is still accompanied by a cough. Second, he has hysteria. The doctor said it was wind disease. From the description, it is It was a cerebrovascular disease. Xue Bai thought it was Alzheimer's disease, maybe it was all there.
However, even Li Linfu, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, sometimes finds it difficult to deal with.
"I have to go," Xue Bai said, "Maybe we can leave earlier."
"The truth can hold up, you don't need to worry about this matter." Li Linfu said: "Tell me about the rebellion in Nanzhao."
"Okay, Wang Zhongsi is ill and he won't go to the Taichi Banquet."
"What's wrong?"
"Back gangrene."
Li Linfu nodded and said, "Yes."
Xue Bai said: "But before Wang Zhongsi fell ill, the imperial court had to appoint him as the Jiedushi envoy of Jiannan. When he was ill, Xianyu Zhongtong was still the deputy envoy of Jiedushi, and he was responsible for the military affairs."
"Who does he recommend to succeed Hedong Jiedushi?"
"Han Xiulin."
Li Linfu thought for a while and said: "Although Han Xiulin is not well-known, he has profound qualifications. He once accompanied Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, to conquer the Turks. He will temporarily replace Hedong, and Zahu will not be able to get involved for the time being. Although Li Yi is dead, he has great prestige in the army. It’s so deep.”
Li Xiu then asked: "So, the document from Taiwan Province was approved by my son?"
"Yes." Although Li Linfu was worried, he could only leave it to them.
It was nothing more than cooperating with Wang Zhongsi, claiming to be ill on the surface, secretly dispatching troops and generals, and then unexpectedly, magic soldiers like Gao Xianzhi descended from the sky, destroyed Taihe City, and captured Ge Luofeng.
When the time comes, it will be recorded in the history books as a great story about Wang Zhongsi defeating the enemy while he was ill.
It would be great if his illness was also faked and political opponents were secretly eliminated.
Xue Bai took the opportunity and said: "Wang Zhongsi wanted to call on some old generals, so he drew up a list."
"Juro." Li Linfu said, "Check it carefully."
"My child understands."
Xue Bai said: "One more thing. Wannian County Magistrate Feng Yongzhi has been promoted due to his merit. As a candidate, I would like to recommend Du."
Li Linfu shook his head and said: "If we want to deal with the East Palace, and we can't be united with the bastards, we have to win over the old men of Xin'an King Li Yi. Li Yi's eldest son attacked the prince, but he has a third son who is outstandingly talented, and his name is... plum……"
"Li Xian." Li Xiu responded: "Li Xian, the third son of King Xin'an, named Yanjian. He started as Zuo Xiao, guard Cao, moved to Prince Sheren, Honglucheng, Henan Prefecture Cao, and is currently the Gaoling Order."
"As a father, remember to talk too much."
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, then he saluted and said, "I know I'm wrong, kid."
Li Linfu shook his head, not sure why he was dissatisfied with Li Xiu.
"You are very harsh on Juro. Juro is extremely filial, gentle, respectful, and has a long-term vision." Xue Bai said, "It's very commendable."
"He is indecisive and acts meekly." Li Linfu still refused to encourage Li Xiu and scolded: "It's embarrassing for such a big task."
Li Xiu didn't dare to talk back, but Xue Bai dared, and said: "I remember that in the fifth year of Tianbao, Shiro could see where the crisis in the Prime Minister's Mansion was, and now it has come true..."
"What's the use of seeing it? Who can't see it? He can see it, can he afford it?"
Xue Bai said: "The right prime minister doesn't trust him and doesn't give him a chance. How do you know he can't afford it?"
Li Linfu groaned and said, "You don't need to take care of the Prime Minister's house affairs."
Having said that, Li Xiu looked at Xue Bai a little differently.
Li Tengkong stood aside, watching this scene, but he knew that Xue Bai was gradually influencing his grandfather to give more power to his brother. At that time, Xue Bai could borrow more power from her brother.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."
Li Linfu was about to speak, but was stunned for a moment.
Confusion flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "Where were we talking about just now? Taichi Banquet, this royal banquet must be going."
"Right Prime Minister?"
"Grandpa?"
"It's useless for you to stop me. There are already rumors in the court that I am ill. If I don't go by then, my status will be lost..."
Xue Bai stared at Li Linfu intently, summed up the pattern, and thought that if Li Linfu's mild amnesia became more and more frequent, it would be harder to conceal than hysteria. Li Tengkong had already stepped forward and reached out to stop him and Li Xiu.
"Grandma, I'm tired. Don't talk anymore today."
"good."
Xue Bai couldn't get what he asked for. It would be best for Li Linfu to just show up and stop asking anything.
~~
Moving to the study outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Bai casually took out the list of people Wang Zhongsi wanted to call from his sleeve.
"Fanjuro asked officials from various ministries in Taiwan Province to draft it into an official document."
"How come there are still officials appointed to the Imperial Medical Office, General Supervisor, Military Equipment Supervisor, Military Academy Envoy and other yamen officials?" Li Xiu couldn't help but frowned, "You didn't tell me when I was here just now."
"I got tired before I had time to ask the right prime minister." Xue Bai said, "What? Juro can't make the decision? Do you have to ask the right prime minister for everything?"
Li Xiu is a person with good talents and talents, but he has been under the strong pressure of Li Linfu for a long time and is very bad at making decisions. At this time, Xue Bai asked him about his weakness. He was unwilling to admit it and responded calmly: "It's up to you."
"That's good." Xue Bai said: "There is a lot of miasma in Nanzhao, so the medicine must be sufficient. Wang Zhongsi also plans to make some new weapons and equipment for fighting; plus the transportation of military supplies, clothing and food, for the commander , if you can’t even handle these people well, how can you win?”
Li Xiu carefully looked at all the civil and military positions that Wang Zhongsi wanted, and first determined those that were not too important. The basis for judging whether this position is important is whether it will pose a threat to the Prime Minister's Palace.
After that, he glanced at the names on the list and said, "I'll make a decision."
"Juro, hurry up. After the Taichi Banquet, it will be announced that Wang Zhongsi is ill. All personnel appointments should be announced within these few days."
Time was indeed running out. The phase dispute and Li Linfu's illness delayed too much time. Li Xiu frowned, put the list of names and the official document appointing Wang Zhongsi in a file, and recruited several officials.
Over there, Xue Bai was too lazy to wait, so he picked up another document and read it. Then, he spread out his pen and ink and wrote something.
Li Xiu was quite wary of Xue Bai, so he immediately got distracted, handed over the file in his hand, and said, "Check it and submit the approval documents for the promotion of these people as soon as possible."
"Here."
After making arrangements, Li Xiu looked at Xue Bai and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The saint's decree is to establish the post of food envoy." Xue Bai pointed to the document he just saw.
"This matter originated from you." Li Xiu smiled, "It has been some years since you presented the stir-fry dishes. The saint has not tasted novel delicacies for a long time, so he set up a food envoy to take care of the nobles. Qi sent meals to the emperor, and the palace eunuch Yao Siyi was appointed as the food inspector."
Xue Bai said: "Yao Siyi has collected thousands of dishes of land and water delicacies before. Is this why he is loved by the saint?"
"There is still hard work without credit." Li Xiu sighed with emotion. Seeing that the brush in Xue Bai's hand was not stopping, he couldn't help but said: "What else are you writing? Although I asked you to refer to the details, you are not qualified to review the document."
"That's why I am impeaching." Xue Bai said: "As the imperial censor in the palace, this is my duty."
"What?" Li Xiu was surprised again, "Who are you impeaching?"
"Yao Siyi." Xue Bai said: "This man is a servant of a saint. Instead of advising the saint to be diligent and thrifty, he is extravagant and extravagant. One plate of the delicacies he collected can be worth the wealth of ten families in the middle of the family. If such beetles are not eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will be in trouble." "
"Stop it."
Li Xiu was tired and annoyed, and had no intention of engaging in such official talk with Xue Bai. She stepped back and said, "Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I am a loyal minister, how can I still turn a blind eye?"
"You have said so much that you even believe it yourself?" Li Xiu asked: "Have you forgotten that you are an official who started your career by serving vegetables and dominoes to the saints? You smashed other people's bowls when you were full? Aren't you afraid that the court will not be able to accommodate you?"
"The fault in this matter is not the contribution, but the extravagance."
"How did you know?"
"Is it rare for Yang Guozhong to do this kind of thing?"
"Is he talking too much again?! This spitting pot." Li Xiu cursed in displeasure and said earnestly: "You must not offend the saint again on this matter..."
Li Tengkong had been looking at Xue Bai and suddenly said: "Have you arranged your people on the list?"
Xue Bai smiled, feeling helpless because she saw through it.
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xue Bai just added some names to the list given by Wang Zhongsi, and then used food as a cover-up to attract his attention.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "If you want those official positions, just ask for them directly. Since the Right Prime Minister's Office uses you, why not waste a few small official positions? Why do this?"
"It has nothing to do with this matter. If I don't impeach Yao Siyi, it will damage my reputation of loyalty."
Li Xiu took the pen from Xue Bai's hand and said, "For my sake, please slow down this matter for a while and I will make arrangements."
He imitated Li Linfu's usual way of making decisions with a single word, and looked at Xue Bai with a firm look, which meant that he had the final say in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
This seemed to work, and Xue Baizhen did not continue writing the impeachment memorial.
…
The next day.
"Shiro, this is Wang Zhongsi's official transfer document recommending civil and military officials. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has approved it."
"Maybe it's been tried?"
"The resumes have been checked, but many of them are not in Chang'an. We still need to send a post horse to check. But I don't know that Juro is going to be dismissed today..."
"Grandma has agreed."
Since Li Xiu had seen through Xue Bai's trick, he didn't bother to investigate further. He just sent a few people to serve as minor officials, established some achievements, and took the seal of Zhongshu Ling to stamp it.
There was a "pop" sound.
After dealing with the matter, Li Xiu looked at the time and asked, "Is Yao Siyi leaving the palace?"
"Yes, we are in Dongshi."
"I'll go see him."
Yao Siyi was a fat and white eunuch with a pleasant smile. He knew how to eat, so he had a round belly. His figure was not flexible, but he was very popular with saints.
When Li Xiu arrived, Yao Siyi was enjoying a large plate of Hun Yang Shihu. Today he only ate glutinous rice from the goose belly.
The glutinous rice is soaked in goose fat and mutton fat, and the spices are used enough. It tastes a bit greasy, so it needs to be eaten with fruits and vegetables to relieve greasiness.
A beautiful and fair little eunuch held up a freshly cut peach slice, scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice on the peach slice, rolled it up, and delivered it to Yao Siyi. The smell of spices, meat, and oil, mixed with the sweetness of peach meat, is weird.
When Li Xiu arrived, Yao Siyi had a complicated expression on his face.
"Congratulations to General Yao for taking up the post of Food Envoy."
"Oh, Juro is here." Yao Siyi stood up, but he was as tall as before. He said with a smile: "I can be such a fat man, and I have to thank the right prime minister. I should have paid a visit to the right prime minister in person, but instead Rōjuro, you’re here.”
"My grandfather wanted to come to see General Yao, but he is busy with official duties."
Li Xiu sat down, tasted some delicacies under Yao Siyi's warm hospitality, and casually said: "By the way, does General Yao know Xue Bai?"
"The imperial concubine's adopted brother, there are a few people in the palace who don't know him. But I know him, but he may not know me."
"Then, General Yao didn't offend him?"
Yao Siyi was surprised and asked: "What happened? Did Xue Bai think that I look like An Lushan, so he rushed at me this time? Oops, he really fought one after another when dealing with people."
Li Xiu said: "Xue Bai wanted to join General Yao on the matter of eating envoys, but I persuaded him not to do so."
"Thank you Juro. I don't know why he is my enemy?"
"Among the officials in the palace, who has the deepest friendship with Xue Bai?" Li Xiu asked.
Xue Bai once told him that he could ask the palace officials if the saint wanted to make another princess. Therefore, today he actually took this opportunity to ask Yao Siyi to find out about Xue Bai's connections in the palace.
"That should be Wu Huaishi and General Gao." Yao Siyi said: "I see Wu Huaishi coming up to talk to Xue Bai every time."
"What is the relationship between General Yao and General Wu?"
"Okay." Yao Siyi said with a smile: "I am very close to General Wu. Then if I find an opportunity, I should have a good talk with Xue Bai. If there is any misunderstanding, it is best to eliminate it as soon as possible..."
This opportunity is not difficult to find, and the Taichi Banquet will be held in a few days.
~~
There are three palaces in Chang'an City, namely Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace.
The Taiji Palace was built in the Sui Dynasty, just north of the Imperial City. It was the palace when the Tang Dynasty was founded. The Daming Palace was originally built by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty for the Supreme Emperor. The construction was stopped for a time because Emperor Gaozong could not bear the low-lying and humid terrain of the Taiji Palace. It was rebuilt; Xingqing Palace was rebuilt from the residence where the current saint lived.
Among the three palaces, Taiji Palace is the one that Li Longji rarely spends time in now, but he occasionally gives banquets to ministers in Taichi.
Taichi consists of four pools, named after the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea and the North Sea, and has excellent scenery.
Mid-April.
Li Linfu walked in the front, leading hundreds of officials into the Tai Chi Palace. First, the South China Sea Pond came into view, and then gradually he could see Wangyunting Pavilion opposite.
Yao Siyi, who was leading the way, smiled and asked, "The Right Prime Minister has not been here for some time, right?"
"Yes." Li Linfu said: "The palaces over there should be Linzhao, Jiaori, Heyu and Xunfeng palaces."
"Exactly, I didn't expect the right minister to remember it."
Zhang Bian, who was walking behind Li Linfu, couldn't help but smile and said: "There is also a palace in it. Does the Right Prime Minister still remember its name?"
"good."
Li Linfu opened his mouth to say something, but for a moment he couldn't remember it. When he squinted his eyes, he couldn't see the name of the palace clearly from a distance.
He actually felt a little nervous because of this. He turned around unconsciously and saw that there were several servants around him that he didn't recognize. He didn't know if he really didn't recognize them or if he had forgotten them.
Just as he was worried about making a fool of himself in front of the officials, Li Cong came from the other side, met him, said hello, and relieved the situation.
"Right Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Prince Qing." Li Linfu nodded lightly, said "I'm sorry," and walked straight to Xianchi Hall.
He is far more aura than Li Cong.
But Li Xiu behind Li Linfu stopped and chatted with Li Cong in a low voice.
"Does King Qing know that the saint is going to marry a princess to the Anqing clan?"
"I haven't heard about this." Li Cong smiled bitterly.
For a moment, the two actually felt some sympathy for each other. After all, they were both sons who were suppressed by their grandfather.
"The sage's decree did not specify which princess it was. If another one is granted the title, who does Prince Qing think it will be?"
Li Cong thought about it and immediately thought that the title of princess was only given to the daughter of the crown prince, and there happened to be a daughter of the crown prince who did not have the title, and that was his adopted daughter.
It was inconvenient to talk more about this matter, so Li Cong quickly fell silent.
But he has made some arrangements today. After all, it is a rare opportunity. He must communicate with Xue Bai some news, because Xue Bai must have used Wang Zhongsi's pacification of Nanzhao to install power for King Qing's family.
…
While the officials were seated in confusion, Xue Bai went to change clothes.
Across the screen, he heard Li Cong coughing.
"Prince Qing is very capable."
"After all, we are in Tai Chi Palace." Li Cong asked in a low voice, "I heard that Wang Zhongsi won't come today?"
"He's sick." Xue Bai said, "Fortunately, everything has been arranged."
"That's good. By the way, the saint wants to make another princess?"
"What advice does Prince Qing have?"
"I have an adopted daughter."
"Princess Boping?"
"No." Li Cong was surprised that Xue Bai actually knew about Princess Boping, but he was short of time and couldn't ask more questions. He just said: "Princess Boping is a legitimate daughter, while Pei Niang is a concubine. She is nearly 10 years old and has not yet been given a title."
"I know what King Qing wants, and this may be possible. But why won't the saint promise Princess Boping to the Anqing Sect?"
"Yiniang is a little insane. The saint will not let her leave Yeting..."
Xue Bai was still waiting to ask again, but in just a few words, someone had already arrived nearby.
Li Cong left quickly.
"Xue Lang? Are you in there?"
There was a soft call outside, Xue Bai opened the curtain and went out, only to see a palace maid standing there with a nervous look on her face.
"Xue Lang, I want to send you a message."
Xue Bai nodded, stepped forward, and asked in a low voice: "Yao Siyi?"
Yao Siyi had actually sent a message to him, wanting to make friends with him, but Xue Bai did not agree. He only asked why the land and water delicacies presented by Yao Siyi were dozens of times more expensive than the market price.
Come to think of it, Yao Siyi must have come to talk to him today.
However, Gong'e in front of her was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused. She didn't seem to understand. She didn't care what Xue Bai said and just passed on the message.
"After three rounds of wine, the saint will go to the stage and invite Mr. Xue to the Chengxiang Hall."
After saying that, a waist card was handed to Xue Bai's hand.
Xue Bai took it, put it into his sleeves, and said, "I'm not going to Chengxiang Hall. I saw a tower near Qianbu Corridor when I came here. We can talk there."
"This slave doesn't know this." The maid looked around and ran away in a hurry.
Xue Bai frowned and walked towards Xianchi Hall.
Ahead, the eunuch waiting for him disappeared. After he walked for a while, a young eunuch caught up and whispered.
"After three rounds, General Yao asked Xue Lang to meet him."
"Where to meet?"
"The general didn't say anything."
"Don't lead me to where I shouldn't go. Just stay at the tower near Qianbu Corridor..."
Xue Bai agreed casually, put his hand into his sleeve, and tried to figure out the waist badge. He secretly thought that since this was Yao Siyi's person, who wanted to see him just now?
~~
Shujing Hall.
Li Yuetu sat down and turned around to see her sister, Princess Yongmu, sitting at the top.
The two looked at each other, and Princess Yongmu lowered her head in shame, because today, she did not dare to visit her mother-in-law with Li Yuetu.
The Crown Princess Wei Shi, who had separated from the Crown Prince due to "emotional disharmony", became a nun and lived in the Qianfo Nunnery in Yeting. In previous years, the two sisters went to see it together. Now that Wei Hui is dead, Princess Yongmu is afraid and does not dare to cause such trouble again.
Although Li Yuetu was only Wei's adopted daughter, her relationship was not inferior to that of her mother and daughter, and she still wanted to secretly meet Wei.
So what if he gets it, the worst he can do is become a nun and stay with Webster in the Qianfo Nunnery from now on...
The royal banquet was full of delicacies, singing and dancing, but Li Yuetu had seen too much since he was a child, and he was only waiting for the three rounds, by which time the performance would become lively, or there would be a hundred-foot building or something like that. Juggling, or games such as cockfighting and pot throwing.
This time, it was the saint who came on stage to sing, and all the ministers couldn't help but stand up...
Seeing this, Li Yuetu stood up, looked around, and walked out.
"Princess Princess."
"Don't follow me while I'm going to change."
Coming out of Shujing Hall, you can go east to Caisi Courtyard, and then go south, bypassing Guizhen Courtyard, and then you can go to Yeting Palace from Qianbu Corridor.
~~
When Xue Bai left the Xianchi Palace, the young eunuch sent by Yao Siyi obediently greeted him and led him south.
Yao Siyi, the food envoy, was in charge of the food and drinks at today's royal banquet. He had considerable power, and it was very easy to handle such a small matter.
"General Yao wants to ask Mr. Xue about cooking. My servant will take him over."
Along the way, the little eunuch could pass smoothly by showing off his badge, and only occasionally explained like this.
The Caisi Courtyard and Guizhen Courtyard in front are both places where clothes are made for the concubines in the palace.
Xue Bai glanced around and found that it was exactly as Yan Yan described. There were only a few old palace maids doing embroidery in Guizhen Courtyard.
After walking around Guizhenyuan, there were two towers in front of them. Yao Siyi stood on the second floor waiting. He was not only the food envoy, but also the general in charge of the gate guards, so he was qualified to be on duty at the towers.
As soon as Xue Bai stepped forward, a smile appeared on his face.
"Have you eaten enough, Xue Lang?"
"The delicacies of the royal banquet are worth thousands of dollars, how dare you not be full."
Yao Siyi smiled apologetically and said, "Xue Lang is full, so he can't let others eat, right?"
"General Yao speaks humorously, no wonder the saint likes it. Just eating is too extravagant. As the imperial censor in the palace, since I heard about it, how can I not report it?"
"Then what if Xue Lang doesn't become the censor?" Yao Siyi said threateningly, his smile immediately brightened, and then said: "Just tell me where Xue Lang wants to be promoted?"
Xue Bai said: "I just moved to the palace to serve as the censor not long ago."
"I made a mistake. If I want to be promoted, I can't do it, but just from being transferred from the seventh rank..." Yao Siyi scratched his beardless chin and thought for a moment, blinked his eyes, and asked: "Under the sect. Which one does Xue Lang like the most?"
Xue Bai couldn't help laughing when he heard this and asked, "Can't we all?"
"Hahaha, Xue Lang is joking."
"General Yao is not kidding?"
"I met Xue Lang in Tai Chi Palace today because I wanted to reassure Xue Lang. The reason why this old slave is allowed to serve as a food official is because he has some means." Yao Siyi said in a sincere tone: "If I don't have the ability, how can I get in? Offering delicacies worth thousands of dollars?"
"good……"
Before Xue Bai could speak, he suddenly paused and looked down the tower.
Yao Siyi followed his gaze and saw Princess Hezheng talking to the chamberlains guarding the palace.
"Xue Lang agreed?"
"Is that... Princess Hezheng?"
"Does Xue Lang know the princess?" Yao Siyi said: "Let's continue talking."
"Let me speak to the princess first."
Yao Siyi was stunned. Xue Bai had already stepped down from the tower and strode towards Li Yuitu. Because he had been discussing with Yao Siyi, the servants around him did not stop him.
~~
When they arrived at Qianbu Corridor, Li Yuetu picked up her skirt and quickened her pace, rushing to Jiayou Gate.
Before she arrived, she had already taken out a waist card.
Suddenly, someone patted her from behind
Li Yuetu was startled, and when he turned around, he saw it was Xue Bai.
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
The two asked almost in unison.
After that, Yao Siyi quickly caught up and said with a smile: "Xue Lang, you are so bold, you dare to belittle the princess."
Xue Bai was not frightened by him. Instead, he glanced at the two of them suspiciously and said, "Is General Yao helping the princess escape?"
Yao Siyi pulled him over and whispered: "Don't meddle in other people's business. When I work in the palace, I always treat people well. I treat Xue Lang the same way, and I treat Princess Hezheng the same way."
"But General Yao is so bold and is just greedy. He also gave the princess a badge and let her secretly enter and leave Yeting..."
"What a big deal is this? The saint doesn't live in Tai Chi Palace, but the princess misses her adoptive mother."
"General Yao has no other plans. Are you from the East Palace? Are you planning something evil?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yao Siyi said, "Xue Lang just wants to say whether he is willing to move to another official position."
Xue Bai pondered, hesitated, and murmured: "General Yao didn't lie to me?"
"What did you do to lie to me?"
"That's easy, let me, Princess Zuihezheng, take a look. If she really only comes to see her adoptive mother, everything will be easy."
Yao Siyi was stunned, shook his head and said: "How to do it?"
"The saint doesn't live in Tai Chi Palace, he just goes to Ye Ting, why not?" Xue Bai said: "Isn't General Yao just wanting me to see your methods today?"
…
In fact, Yan Yan saw Li Yuetu coming back and told him about it.
——"The person guarding the Jiayou Gate is a fair and fat official named Yao, who is kind to others."
When Xue Bai first targeted Yao Siyi as a food envoy, it was because of him.
At this time, Li Yuetu was already standing near Jiayou Gate. Yao Siyi could either let them pass or watch the time pass by, and time was running out.
"All right."
Yao Siyi turned around and thought, Xue Bai's passing would actually give him a handle.
"Xue Lang can go, but don't mess with the palace..."
(End of chapter)
