Fang Xuanling, who was almost frightened to death in the court during the day, looked at Li Ke who was sitting there calmly and calmly, and was instantly furious.

Recognizing Fang Rou as his adopted daughter and sending Fang Rou into the palace was clearly proposed by Li Ke himself from the beginning.

Now we have finally accomplished half of the matter. When the courtiers objected today, they should have stood on a united front with themselves.

As a result, I didn't expect that he would actually ask me like that in the court. Isn't this an obvious way to dig a hole for himself?

If I didn't think too fast today, I might be scolded to death by those courtiers right now.

"I came to the palace today just to ask Your Majesty what your thoughts are."

"It was obviously you who approached Lao Chen yourself and said that you needed Lao Chen's help. I had no choice but to agree to His Majesty. We have finally reached this point. Your Majesty not only refused to help you in the thatched cottage today. Instead, I am uniting my front with those courtiers who oppose me. I really don’t know what your Majesty is trying to do?”

"If you really don't want Fang Rou to enter the palace, it's okay for my wife and I to raise Fang Rou for the rest of our lives."

"Because my wife mentioned this matter to me yesterday, he is getting along very well with Fang Rou now. It's not a problem for our Fang family to have an extra daughter if we have a big business. At worst, we can recruit one for him when the time comes. A son-in-law is not impossible."

Li Ke, who originally seemed so calm, became nervous instantly after hearing this.

I know very well how lovable Fang Rou is.

But he didn't expect that in just a few days, Fang Rou and Mrs. Fang would already get along so well.

I had obviously heard from people in Jingcheng before that what Mrs. Fang hated most was to associate with women who knew the rules and etiquette.

The result was unexpected.

So Fang Rou got it right this time?

"Master Fang, what are you talking about? The reason why I worked so hard is just to get Xiaorou into the palace."

"I originally thought that Mr. Fang was a smart man who could understand my difficulties, but I didn't expect that Mr. Fang would be so confused. The reason why I did this was just to make the courtiers less afraid of Fang Rou. I’m not that afraid of you, Mr. Fang.”

"If I helped Mr. Fang speak for you in the court today, Mr. Fang has never thought about what the courtiers in the court would think?"

"We didn't want to make this matter bigger in the first place. The issue of adopting the adopted daughter made a huge fuss, just to give Xiaorou a serious identity. Now that the serious identity has been given to Xiaorou, If we are soft, then we will still make people feel resentful?"

"Master Fang, you have been in the court for so many years. I don't believe you don't understand these simplest principles."

"I believe Mr. Fang is very clear about it, but Mr. Fang, some of the people around you need to be screened carefully. After all, if there is no one behind Mr. Fang's case, I don't believe it. of."

After hearing these words from Li Ke, Fang Xuanling thought of the boy who came to the palace to question Li Ke wearing his own clothes today.

No wonder he felt that the boy looked unfamiliar today. Now that he thought about it, he must have been deliberately placed in his own mansion by someone else's adult.

If His Majesty really wants to take Fang Rou into the palace, he will come to His Majesty today to question him. Then Fang Rou will be killed. It will definitely become a thorn in the flesh of those courtiers. If His Majesty reprimands him for a while today, it will prove that His Majesty has no intention of bringing Fang Rou into the palace, and they can rest easy.

After thinking about all these things, Fang Xuanling suddenly regretted it.

Why am I so impulsive today?

Normally, I would discuss these matters with my wife.

But he thought that his wife had really worked hard during this period, so she didn't discuss the matter with him and hurried into the palace alone.

Now that he thought about it carefully, the clues were very easy to figure out.

Those people probably seized this opportunity, thinking that they would be impulsive and confront His Majesty, and they might even be able to make His Majesty dissatisfied.

After thinking about all these things, Fang Xuanling immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I request you to reprimand the veteran minister twenty times, and then ask the palace officials to send him out of the palace in a swaggering manner."

If Fang Xuanling still had the same reluctance as when he questioned him just now, Li Ke felt that he would take action.

It's just that Fang Xuanling has become so reasonable now. If he does it again, he will seem a little too inhumane.

After thinking about all this, Li Ke didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fang Xuanling, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Li Ke and continued to speak without making any sound.

"Your Majesty, at this time, you must not be hesitant like your mother-in-law. This is a major matter concerning Miss Xiaorou's future entry into the palace. If you don't deal with the ministers today, you may be punished by those in the court. You guessed it, in order to ensure the safety of Miss Xiaorou and the stability of our Fang family, please, Your Majesty, give me twenty sticks."

"And what happened today was that the old minister was too impulsive, so he had to make such a dilemma."

"Your Majesty, just think that you slapped me twenty times just to make my memory long. After all, the cause of today's incident is because of me."

"If you are reluctant to do it, I will go out and let the palace people beat me. I won't believe it. There is not a single one of them who can't stand my coercion."

After Li Ke heard the words that Fang Xuanling threatened him from behind, he sighed helplessly.

He is very clear now that he must do this today.

If Fang Xuanling was allowed to go out to find the palace people on his own, this matter might reach the ears of those well-informed ministers within a few days.

In order to ensure the safety of Fang Rou and everyone like Fang Xuanling, I must be ruthless now.
