Liu Tong'en bowed his hands and said goodbye. Feng's servant stood in front of the door, smiling and watching his figure disappear into the night. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
He was panicking, why would His Majesty let Liu Tongen go to Dr. Jiang?
Could it be that he discovered something?
But the Lu family's matter has been settled, Xiao Yan has returned to the capital, and even Lu Chongyuan died in prison tonight, and the Lu family has no ability to turn around.
The Zhao family who had joined forces with the Lu family were convicted and exiled. He had forced Dr. Jiang to deceive the king and cover up Xiao Yan's departure from the capital. Logically speaking, the story has long been over.
Liu Tongen is most likely to be more trusted by His Majesty than Yu Yanfeng, and may even be His Majesty's trump card hidden in the dark. If not for some reason, why would His Majesty let Liu Tongen go to see the imperial doctor and ask about things?
Feng Lai felt uneasy, fearing that Emperor An would notice something. He turned around and wanted to call the little eunuch not far away to send a message to Xiao Yan, at least asking him to find a way to stabilize Jiang Ji so as not to be asked anything by Liu Tongen, but when he turned around and thought When he was about to speak, he stopped forcibly.
wrong……
Feng Lai frowned.
Something's wrong!
Liu Tongen has never been a talkative person, and he rarely talked to him before going to the Holy Land in the past. If His Majesty really noticed that Imperial Physician Jiang deceived the emperor that day, then how could Liu Tongen wait until tomorrow to go to the Imperial Physician's Office, and accompany Imperial Physician Jiang that day? How could he escape suspicion when he went to Cuiyun Lane?
Feng Lai's heart jumped violently. Liu Tongen deliberately told him that His Majesty was suspicious of him.
He felt a coldness rising up his spine. He suppressed his pale face, held the whisk tightly and breathed for a moment, then walked quickly towards the palace.
When he saw Emperor Utojian An, Feng Neishi rubbed his face and hurriedly walked aside and closed the window.
"This autumn day is getting colder every day. Your Majesty has just eaten an ice bowl. It's not good to blow the cold wind again, otherwise the dragon's body will catch the cold."
The window fell, and then Feng's servant walked up to Emperor An and said, "It's almost time, is your majesty going to rest?"
Emperor An looked at Feng Lai and asked, "Is Liu Tongen gone?"
Feng Lai smiled and said, "Let's go. I just chatted with the slave outside and said that Commander Yu is still injured. He has to go to the Forbidden Garden to guard Commander Yu for a few days."
"I see that Commander Liu seems to be much better. I don't know what happened to the hidden injuries he suffered earlier. Just now, Commander Liu said that he was going to the Imperial Medical Office to find Dr. Jiang. Dr. Jiang is very skilled in medicine. He may have passed through it. He will nurse him back to health, and Commander Liu will be able to share the important responsibility of the imperial guard with Commander Yu in the future to protect His Majesty."
There was no hint of panic in Feng Lai's expression when he spoke, and his eyes were as respectful as before. He spoke of Liu Tong'en and Dr. Jiang with a smile, and there was no twinge of guilt.
An Di frowned slightly. Could it be that he was overthinking?
"Your Majesty?" Feng Lai saw him looking at him and said quickly: "But what did your servant say wrong?"
Emperor An didn't answer him, but just narrowed his eyes: "What do you think of Xiao Yan?"
"Director Xiao?"
Feng Lai's heart skipped a beat, but his face only showed confusion: "Why did your Majesty ask about Governor Xiao?"
Emperor An looked at him: "I just talked to Liu Tongen, and I feel that I may not have seen him clearly in these years."
Feng Lai looked surprised, as if because of the vague suspicion in An Di's words, he stopped his smile and frowned for a moment and thought about it.
"Everyone in the palace said that Governor Xiao is very capable. When he was serving in front of the Holy Father, the servant noticed that he had a strong temper. He had clear grudges and revenge, and he only wanted results when doing things. Apart from these, the servant and Governor Xiao usually worked together. It’s not very familiar either.”
Hearing this, Emperor An leaned on the couch and said, "He is indeed small-minded and will retaliate for his anger. Sometimes even I don't take him seriously."
Feng Lai said quickly: "Your Majesty is joking, you are the emperor, who in this world dares not to take you seriously."
"Governor Xiao's success today is entirely due to His Majesty's reliance. Sometimes Silk Madness is indulged by His Majesty. And you haven't seen that when Governor Xiao gets along with other princes and princes, he can only say a few words without making sarcastic remarks, and with the adults in the court It only takes a few words to make people mad to death."
"My servant still remembers that Governor Xiao beheaded the southern officials years ago. There were few adults in the whole court who had not participated in him. The news about his impeachment almost drowned His Majesty's Dragon Case. If His Majesty hadn't been protecting him wholeheartedly, Governor Xiao How can the Lord remain in the court safely?"
When Emperor An listened to Feng Lai's words, he remembered that when the Caoliang case broke out, Xiao Yan furiously beheaded the Caofu officials and returned to the capital with wounds all over his body.
The papers to impeach him were handed to the emperor like snowflakes, but Xiao Yanjian stood up to the ministers of the court. When people in the court said even a few words about him, he could ridicule them ten times and tear them apart, from top to bottom. Such as Liang Guangyi, Lu Chongyuan and other aristocratic courtiers, down to Cao Dejiang and other Qingliu faction.
He could be described as blaming the sky and the earth, and verbally quarreling with the ministers. A group of courtiers scolded by one person was so pale that they choked to death. Those who offended him were pulled out one by one to find trouble, and no one had a good ending.
He had offended many people above the Wei Dynasty. He had never been close to any prince or prince, and he was even more dismissive of the clan. However, Xiao Yan was always respectful in front of him. Even if he occasionally offended, he never acted contrary to the holy will.
Xiao Yan never left a way out for himself. Emperor An dared to reuse him because he knew his reputation in the court and knew that he could only survive by being loyal to the Holy Father. Anyone who lost the Holy Heart would do the same as those he had offended in the past. He had no chance of survival.
Seeing the gloomy look in Emperor An's eyes dissipate, Feng's servant didn't mention Xiao Yan anymore and just said suddenly:
"By the way, Your Majesty, Concubine Xian asked about the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet yesterday. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in three days, and I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking. Moreover, there were two fires in the palace, and many people outside were talking about this... Will there be a palace banquet this year?"
Emperor An's face was solemn. The matter between Lu Qingfeng and Prince Cheng had already been announced. He knew how many people outside were watching the royal family's joke.
He originally did not plan to hold a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet this year because the queen was embarrassed, but now he changed his mind after listening to Feng Lai's words. There were two fires in the palace and people died one after another. If there were no palace banquets held every year, Now, I don’t know what people outside are going to say about him.
"Suppose, why not set it up?"
"But in the past, the palace banquets were all given to the Queen, but now there is no one in the palace..."
"There is no one in the middle palace, but there are always others in the other palaces. Without the queen, there are still Concubine Yu and Concubine Xian." Emperor An originally wanted to let Concubine Xian take charge, but suddenly thought of Cui Lin, the "father-in-law", and said directly: "You Go and send a message to Concubine Yu to host this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Concubine Zhao will assist me and ask them to make the palace banquet lively for me."
Feng Lai lowered his head: "I obey the order."
