"Uncle Fencheng, please come in. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
After seeing off the three great scholars Huang Liangyi, Jiashen immediately took Rong Fei to the palace to meet Zhu Sheng.
Arching his hands towards Jiashen, Rong Fei opened the door of the imperial study and walked in.
Relying on the elixir blackmailed from Qingyang Taoist, Rong Fei has fully recovered. He has taken a shower and changed into brand new clothes before entering the palace. At this time, the whole person looks fresh and sharp, not at all like he just came out of prison. Prisoners coming out.
This time Zhu Sheng did not sit behind the imperial desk, but placed a table of wine and food in the center of the imperial study.
Four plates of side dishes that looked perfect for rice, two bowls of steaming rice and a jug of wine.
Seeing Rong Fei come in, Zhu Sheng greeted with a smile.
"You are hungry. Let's sit down and eat first. If you have anything to fill your stomach, we can talk later."
Rong Fei was not polite. After bowing, he sat down gracefully on the chair opposite Zhu Sheng. Without waiting for Zhu Sheng to move his chopsticks, he picked up the rice in front of him and started to eat happily.
After fighting for most of the night, Jiashen forgot to tell Fanzi to bring food after being locked up, and Rongfei himself was only focused on healing his wounds and thinking about his own thoughts. He was really starving after not eating enough water or rice all night.
At this time, when I smelled the aroma of the food, I couldn't help but my most primitive instinct. And judging from Zhu Sheng's posture, the person serving this meal was not Rongfei, the head of Jixian Division, nor Bo Rongfei of Fencheng, but his cousin. Rongfei.
This is just a normal meal where a cousin entertains his cousin, and there is no need to follow too many red tapes.
Zhu Sheng also admired Rong Fei's casual and natural attitude. After smiling slightly, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
During the dinner, the two of them just focused on tasting the food. No one took the initiative to speak or even looked at each other.
Simply eating naturally didn't take much time, and the two of them put down their bowls and chopsticks almost at the same time.
Zhu Sheng had no intention of calling anyone to clean up the dishes. He picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glass in front of him, then handed the wine bottle to Rong Fei.
The two clinked glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
"check it out."
Zhu Sheng took out a folded note from his arms and handed it to Rong Fei.
Rong Fei took the note and unfolded it, first looking at the signature in the lower right corner.
The signature is Wei Lin.
Then look up and read the text.
The note was not big and contained not much. It described what happened in the Qingzhou Camp in a concise and comprehensive manner. The focus of the whole article is that Li Wentai fled in fear of crime, and the rescued camp prostitute disappeared.
As early as when Chang Gaoyuan suddenly appeared in Kyoto City, Rong Fei had already guessed Wei Lin's whereabouts, so Wei Lin's appearance in Qingzhou Camp was not surprising.
What surprised Rong Fei was how Wei Lin, an old boy, found out about such a secret thing as a prostitute.
Rong Fei used his magical power to see through walls on Chang Gaoyuan and determined that Chang Gaoyuan did not know about the prostitution. Being able to hide the fact from Chang Gaoyuan, the chief military officer of Qingzhou, shows how secretive the private business of prostitution is.
Being discovered by Wei Lin like this, Rong Fei couldn't help but sigh that this old boy has grown up.
But the last sentence, "Hundreds of rescued prostitutes are missing," made Rong Fei feel a pain in his heart.
Another culprit in this case, Li Wentai, fled in fear of crime, and most of the poor people who were trafficked have been silenced. 33
Seeing the sad look on Rong Fei's face, Zhu Sheng picked up the wine pot and filled the wine glass in front of Rong Fei, then smiled.
"Along with this secret letter is Wei Daban's dictation. Do you want to hear it?"
Rong Fei noticed Zhu Sheng's tone and expression, and immediately realized that there might be an article. His expression was suddenly lifted, and he nodded.
"Li Wentai and his followers were killed by Wei Daban himself. Their bodies were buried in the wilderness and no one can find them. The people who were rescued have also been properly resettled."
"Huh~"
Rong Fei let out the pent-up anger that had been accumulating in his chest for several days, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
Well done, Wei!
"This is the first thing I want to say to you today."
Zhu Sheng looked at the table and said.
"Let's talk about the second thing. Nowadays, the civil and military officials have great opinions on you, and you can't stay in Kyoto City. Tomorrow I will issue an order to strip you of your title, and at the same time, you will be demoted to the outside world. First of all, you will be given to Marquis Jingyuan. Let me give you an explanation. Secondly, I will let you go out to avoid the limelight. Thirdly, I will take the opportunity to rectify the administration of the state capitals. After all, this is also the responsibility of the Jixian Division. Do you have any opinions? "
"No comment."
Rong Fei nodded hurriedly in response.
"third…"
Zhu Sheng paused for a moment, then continued after thinking for a moment.
"Go to Nuan Style. Mother has something to tell you."
After thinking about it, Zhu Sheng still felt that he was not suitable for the job of maintaining matchmaking as a majestic king of a country. Moreover, he also knew that Rong Fei and Ji Rouer were childhood sweethearts who shared the same fate. What if Rong Fei rejected him now? The emperor also wanted to save face.
It's more appropriate to leave this kind of thing to a woman's family.
After saying that, Zhu Sheng stopped keeping Rong Fei and drove him out with a wave of his hand.
Following the chamberlain all the way to Nuanfeng Pavilion, as soon as they entered, they saw Queen Tang You'er holding Ji Rou'er's hand and coming out of the main room.
The two women had smiles on their faces, as if they were having a great time talking to each other.
Seeing Rong Fei, Queen Tang Youer said with a smile.
"Rong Fei is here. Come into the house quickly. Mother has been waiting for a long time."
After that, he pulled Ji Rouer towards the side room.
Ji Rou'er didn't get a chance to talk to Rong Fei, and the two could only look at each other, saying nothing.
Just from this fleeting glance, Rong Fei read a lot from it.
Forced smile…burning with rage…peeling skin and cramps…dead with no body intact…
An inexplicable cold air rose from the soles of his feet and spread all the way to the back of his head, and Rong Fei couldn't help but shiver.
has a problem!
There's a big problem!
With an anxious mood, Rong Fei walked into the main room and saw his cheap aunt, Princess Xian.
"Nonsense!"
As soon as they met, Concubine Xian scolded her with a stern face.
"Hey Hey…"
Rong Fei didn't answer, just giggled on the back of his head.
"Then Chang Huai'en is just a playboy. From now on, he can just find any excuse to deal with it secretly. Who is your identity, and why do you have to risk your life for him? If something happens, how do you want me to explain to my sister who is under the Nine Springs? .”
"Hey Hey…"
Rong Fei responded to all changes by remaining unchanged and continued to giggle.
"Come here, brat, let me see if there are any injuries."
After the scolding, Concubine Xian showed worry and distress on her face. She called Rong Fei in front of her, pinched here and there with her palms, and pressed where to see if any parts were missing.
After confirming that there was nothing serious, Concubine Xian took Rong Fei's hand and asked him to sit down next to her. She stared at Rong Fei's face for a long time, her eyes making Rong Fei's heart tremble.
"You brat, do you know how you were released?"
"Hey Hey…"
"Keep pretending to be stupid and I won't touch your mouth!"
Concubine Xian threatened with a tigerish face.
"Of course, aunt, you feel sorry for your nephew. The emperor's cousin is showing kindness to you outside the law."
Concubine Xian shook her head and sighed after hearing this.
"Oh! It's all bad luck."
Concubine Xian's sigh made Rong Fei a little confused.
Why is this mess related to Nie Yuan?
Auntie, your language skills need to be improved!
But then he thought of Ji Rouer's strange and unpredictable expression just now, and Rong Fei had a vague premonition in his heart.
No...no way!
Some people died, but not completely...
