Xiao Yan hugged Tang Ning and saw her blushing cheeks. He didn't make fun of her out loud, but just held her and talked like a casual chat.
"I went to Fu's house today and encountered something interesting. Do you still remember Fu Jinrou who stayed at Fu's house?"
Tang Ning raised her eyes in surprise. Of course she remembered. After all, Fu Jinrou had mocked her in front of many people, and she was also a little confused about that person.
Xiao Yan seemed to know what she wanted to ask: "Mr. Cao and I met her today when we went to the Fu family. She secretly stepped on Mrs. Fu and a cousin of the Fu family in front of Fu Laiqing..."
He roughly told what happened to Fu Jinrou, and then suppressed a smile: "It's a pity that Fu Laiqing is such a fool. He didn't understand anything and didn't talk about it. He kept thinking about hiring a doctor for her."
Tang Ning burst out laughing, overjoyed: "What happened next?"
"Later, when I was leaving Fu's house, she stopped me."
Xiao Yan told all about what Fu Jinrou had done after stopping him, as well as the Queen Mother's intention to recruit Miss Xu into the palace. After he finished speaking, he said:
"That girl is very ambitious. Didn't you want someone to investigate the Chai family's matter before? There is no need for you to intervene now. I'm afraid the Fu family will investigate it themselves."
Listening to Fu Jinrou's pretentious manner of trying to seduce Xiao Yan, Tang Ning suddenly showed disgust: "Brother, do you think she will steal Mrs. Xu's entry into the palace?"
Xiao Yan said: "Nine times out of ten."
Tang Ning said: "Although this helps Miss Xu get out of the siege, Fu Jinrou's temperament cannot allow her to enter the palace. If she really gets mixed up with Emperor An, she may not be able to live in peace."
"Don't worry, she can't enter the palace."
Xiao Yan looked determined.
It would be fine if Fu Jinrou stayed on her own terms, but if she really dared to mess with Mrs. Xu's matter and show her ambition, Cao Dejiang would definitely not let this disaster enter the harem.
…
Neither of them cared much about Fu Jinrou's affairs, and they also knew that with Cao Dejiang's ability, he would not let Fu Jinrou's thoughts go unnoticed.
Tang Ning nestled in Xiao Yan's arms and talked about other things: "After brother left the house, Feng Qiuli sent someone a message. If you are not in the house, I will let someone in first."
Xiao Yan hugged her and asked casually: "What did you say?"
Tang Ning said: "It's Liang Guangyi's side. After you guys left the palace yesterday, Liang Guangyi was called back to the palace by Emperor An. He went to find Feng Qiuli after he returned from the palace."
"Feng Qiuli said that Emperor An seemed to be aware of what happened between us and the noble family, and wanted to instigate Liang Guangyi to do something with the army going south. He also said that he and General Yin were both veterans of the court, and they would definitely not He will be on guard against him, implying that Liang Guangyi used some family secret medicine to destroy General Yin’s body before General Yin and the others led their troops out of the capital.”
"Di An promised that if things come true, he is willing to give half of the power to lead the army to the aristocratic family, and the court will remain as before, with Liang Guangyi rejecting the successor as grand master. He also said that if the aristocratic family is willing to help him, After I capture brother, I will hand you over to Liang Guangyi and the others."
Xiao Yan sneered: "It seems like something that Hun Jun can do. How would Liang Guangyi react?"
Tang Ning suppressed a smile: "I heard that after returning home, he cursed loudly, and the spittle almost drowned Feng Qiuli."
Feng Qiuli is now Liang Guangyi's most trusted "youngster", and he is also the one he selected from thousands of people since Lu Chongyuan. He can inherit his position and be the "leader" to protect the family in the future.
When he was outside, he could still maintain some dignity as a grand master, and even when he was angry, he suppressed the emotions that could not be seen. But when he went back to see Feng Qiuli, the anger he had suppressed in the palace burst out, and when he cursed Emperor An There is simply no room left.
Maybe it was because Xiao Yan had laid too many lies in advance, or maybe it was Wang Huailu's reminder that made Liang Guangyi prejudiced against Emperor An in the first place.
All of Emperor An's words fell on Liang Guangyi's ears, and they were just pie-in-the-sky. He couldn't deal with the emptiness of the household, so he promised to restore the power of the family to win them over. The army going south could not provide military supplies, so Emperor An used the Xu family's military power as an excuse. Therefore, he used his hatred for Xiao Yan to make him attack General Yin.
Once he gets involved, members of the aristocratic family will become leading generals. How can they sit back and watch the war fail?
If military supplies were lacking, they would provide them.
The treasury was empty, they filled it.
After taking action against Xiao Yan, they were completely tied to Emperor An, and no matter what Emperor An did, they would have to be taken care of by several aristocratic families.
Liang Guangyi was so angry at Emperor An's "bad intentions".
He scolded Emperor An for being shameless and actually wanted to trick the family into taking money from them. He scolded him for being shameless and thinking about the family's wealth to fill the hole in the treasury. He said that Emperor An wanted to use the family as a money bag. It was just a dream...
Tangning couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the way the man Feng Qiuli sent him spoke.
"I heard that Liang Guangyi rejected Emperor An on the spot. He only said that the courtiers of the aristocratic families were pursuing the path of civil service, and that all of them were weak and unable to get involved in military power. He also told Emperor An to find someone else."
"Liang Guangyi also repeatedly told Feng Qiuli and the others to be careful of Emperor An and not to agree to anything he said."
Xiao Yan burst into laughter. Just thinking about it, he could think of Emperor An's face after Liang Guangyi rejected Emperor An. He probably thought that Liang Guangyi didn't know good and bad, and the things in Yulong Terrace would have to be smashed by him again. Last time.
Thinking about the porcelain fragments that were frequently sent out from Yulongtai during this period, as well as the smashed ornaments.
Xiao Yan thought about it, why not go back and replace Emperor An with a wooden one...
"That's right." After Tang Ning smiled at Emperor An, she thought of something else: "Dean Shi said that he had contacted someone from Beiling."
Xiao Yan's expression turned serious: "Is there any news?"
Tang Ning shook his head: "No, Dean Shi said that Beiling's spies in the Wei Dynasty were buried too deep. Every time the news was sent back from the Wei Dynasty, it was a single line of contact. Even the detailed work in Beiling's Changfeng Hall was unknown. Where did the news come from? I just know that every once in a while, detailed information about the Wei Dynasty Hall was reported back to Beiling."
"In order to find out the source of the information, two of his people went in. The remaining people did not dare to move."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Shi Changan had stayed in Beiling for so many years. He was able to escape from such a situation back then and even turned Beiling upside down. Naturally, he had means that others did not have.
Xiao Yan had discussed this matter carefully with Shi Changan before and knew that he had left detailed information in Changfeng Hall, which was responsible for spying on assassinations in Beiling. In addition, most of the spies sent by Beiling to various countries to spy on information were mostly spies from Changfeng Hall.
Xiao Yan originally wanted to use this to see if he could find out the person, but he didn't expect that even the people inside couldn't find out who the spies in the Wei Dynasty Hall were.
Tangning raised his head: "Brother, do you want to continue?"
Xiao Yan shook his head: "No need, I'm afraid they have been alarmed by the previous inspections. During this period of time, there has been such a big change in the court, and there has been no more news. I'm afraid they are all dormant."
"I don't know when Beiling will go south. The people from Changfeng Hall have other uses for keeping it, so there is no need to fold it here."
