Prince Xuanyong’s Mansion!
"Your Highness!"
"The craftsmen have been found. All the famous craftsmen in the capital have been found by the old slave."
"Take a look, can you still use it?"
Lin Yong grinned, revealing two rows of old yellow teeth. Behind him stood dozens of craftsmen in simple clothes, all of whom stood in front of Ning Fan fearfully.
"Common people see you, Your Highness!"
"See Your Highness!"
All the craftsmen knelt down and saluted Ning Fan respectfully, lying on the ground without even daring to raise their heads.
"No courtesy!" Ning Fan showed an easy-going smile: "You don't have to be formal, I invite you to come today because I have something to ask for!"
"However, don't worry, everyone, I will not treat you badly when doing things for this king!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, I don't know what's wrong..."
The leader of the craftsmen was an old man with a soft ear. His words and demeanor were neither humble nor overbearing. He had obviously seen the world. Looking at the drawing handed over by Ning Fan, there was a trace of curiosity on his face!
"If anyone can make this device, I will give you a reward of ten taels, and you can enter my palace, Prince Xuanyong!"
"Your Highness, is this true?"
"Hmph, how can my Highness tease you?"
Lin Yong on the side heard the craftsmen's doubts, a look of displeasure appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "Whoever can make this thing, please step forward!"
After hearing Lin Yong's words, the leading craftsman pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, this thing has a weird shape. I'm afraid it will take a long time!"
"I am not in a hurry!"
Ning Fan smiled, looked at Lin Yong, and said softly: "Don't neglect to arrange these craftsmen properly!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Lin Yong personally brought the craftsmen down. Ning Fan was about to flip through a few pages of the military book when he saw an old man wearing eunuch uniforms walking slowly under the leadership of the guards!
"Eunuch Wei!"
After Ning Fan saw the person clearly, his expression was startled. He did not expect that the emperor's personal servant would appear in his house. Wei Ying smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Your Highness, by your Majesty's order, we invite you to Enter the palace!"
"oh?"
Ning Fan had a look of doubt on his face. It was already late, Emperor Yu actually summoned him to the palace at this time?
"Why did my father summon me to the palace?"
"This..." A wry smile appeared on Wei Ying's face, and he whispered: "We don't know the specific reason, but just now, His Majesty and several important officials in the court were discussing it for a long time in the imperial study!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, but his heart was uncertain. He looked at the guard next to him and said, "Prepare the frame!"
…
The palace, the royal study!
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xuan Yong has arrived!"
"oh!"
Emperor Yu put down the memorial in his hand and said softly: "Since he is here, let him come in!"
"yes!"
Following a soft call from the chamberlain, Ning Fan strode into the main hall. After receiving the ceremony, he stood silently in front of the emperor.
"Wei Ying!"
"Inform the imperial dining room to prepare dinner and have more meat to replenish the health of our second son!"
"According to the order!"
"Show off to Qian Ning Palace!"
Ning Fan followed Emperor Yu without saying a word, but his brows were almost twisted into the character "Sichuan". Could it be because of the incident at the military camp, or the red sleeve move, or maybe it was about Chen Fang?
The two sat down in Qianning Palace, and Ning Fan was extremely uncomfortable for a while. In his impression, except for the annual banquet hosted by Emperor Yu and all the princes and princesses dining at the same table, it seemed that the father and son had never been alone. Have had a meal!
"No need to be formal!"
"There is no distinction between the two of us as king and minister today. Let's relax!"
Emperor Yu had an easy-going smile on his face, and his gaze towards Ning Fan was a little softer than before.
"Forehead!"
"Father, you have something to say!"
"If you want to die, you have to say it clearly, otherwise I won't be able to enjoy this meal at ease!"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, the smile on Emperor Yu's face instantly froze. He held the teacup in his hand tightly and his breathing became more rapid.
"Hehe, Father is just kidding!"
"Don't get angry!"
"My son, I have something important to report!"
Seeing the serious look on Ning Fan's face, Emperor Yu's expression condensed and he said calmly: "When?"
"Father, I recently discovered an elite organization in Donghuai!"
"oh?"
There was a look of surprise on Emperor Yu's face, he slowly picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth: "Tell me and listen!"
"Father also knows that my son wanders around Fengyue places all year round, seemingly for pleasure, but in fact he wants to find this spy organization!"
"Over the years, in order to achieve this goal, I have not hesitated to use my body as a bait. I have endured the teasing of the romantic woman and the curse of my father. After several years of unremitting efforts, I have finally found some clues! "
"hehe!"
Emperor Yu had a sneer on his face and his eyes were full of teasing: "So, I have misunderstood you?"
"My father is serious. In fact, I don't blame my father for this matter. Everything was done willingly. In order to contribute my strength to me, Dayu, my sacrifice is nothing!"
"So, you made such a big sacrifice, what did you find out?"
"The red-sleeved moves are the eagle dogs of Donghuai. They want to infiltrate me, Dayu, and thus affect the war situation in the east!"
Hearing Ning Fan's words, Emperor Yu didn't seem surprised, but instead asked with a playful look on his face: "Where's the evidence?"
"evidence?"
"I have no evidence, but there are witnesses!"
"oh?"
General Ning Fan once again reported everything in detail, but Emperor Yu didn't take it seriously at all, and said calmly: "You are not allowed to interfere with the Red Sleeve Move. The person you caught should find an opportunity to let him go. !”
"Let go?"
"Well, don't alert the enemy!"
Looking at Emperor Yu's solemn expression, Ning Fan instantly understood. This old guy already knew the details of the Red Sleeve Move?
But why...
Making a game?
Ning Fan's expression changed again and again, and Emperor Yu said leisurely: "How did you know that Donghuai was behind the red sleeve move?"
"Why can't it be Da Yan, or Mobei, Li country?"
"Father, Mobei has fled to the desert long ago and will not come back in a short time. Their eagles and dogs may also have entered hibernation at this moment!"
"It's even more impossible for Dayan and Li Country..."
Ning Fan recounted the speculations of his family and Jia Xu. Emperor Yu showed a look of surprise on his face and nodded in agreement, "That's good reasoning. I heard that a gentleman came to your house recently. !”
"Very talented, knowledgeable and resourceful. What is this man's name and where is he from?"
"Forehead!"
Ning Fan didn't expect that Emperor Yu would actually pay attention to Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "Father, you are so complimentary. He is just a poor scholar who can only talk and have no real talent or knowledge!"
"Without further ado!"
"Tomorrow I will go to your house to meet you in person and take a test to see if this person is truly talented!"
"Father, I won't..."
"That's it!"
Emperor Yu did not allow him to refute and continued: "Second brother, what do you think of the current situation in the court?"
